Chapter Seventy-One: Killing Horses to Satisfy Hunger
"Is it?" Wu Qian closed his eyes and patted his head, "Oh, it's over!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a horse screaming from the front yard.
"What's going on?" asked Yu Lao Wu puzzled.
Wu Qian had already run out quickly, and Wang Xiaoming felt bad!
When he came to the front yard, Wang Xiaoming was immediately stunned! Yu Laowu pointed to Wu Qian and asked: "What's the matter? Who is this? Why do you ......?" Yu Laowu questioned for a while, and Wu Qian waved his hand.
It turned out that the horse that Wang Xiaoming was tied to the head of the column in the front yard had already been slaughtered, and most of the horse's neck had been cut off by a big knife, and the horse's head was hanging from its neck.
Wu Qian slapped the knife of the horse killer and pulled him over, and the two knelt down in front of Wang Xiaoming with a thud, Wu Qian slapped himself wildly, and the man also slapped himself, and after slapping him more than a dozen times, they began to fight again.
"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" kept saying a dozen sorry.
Wang Xiaoming came back to his senses, shook his head, and said after taking a long breath: "Don't keep saying I'm sorry! What's the matter? There must be a reason for killing my horse! Say it!"
"In the final analysis, it's still hungry and greedy! Not to mention eating meat, even steamed buns haven't been eaten for a long time!" Wu Qian exhaled and continued, "I don't know that the lord is the minister of the Qin Mission, and if you kill the adult's horse, you deserve death!"
"I see! Get up!" Wang Xiaoming nodded, he knew what it was like to be hungry, and that was a pain that modern people could not feel! He smiled and quipped, "If you don't kill the horse, we will be hungry tonight!" Since everything is providential. Get up! Go cook the meat. ”
"Have you forgiven us?" Wu Qian asked timidly, blinking his eyes.
Wang Xiaoming smiled bitterly: "If you don't kill it, you've already killed it!" It's just a horse, and it's not a human being! What's the use of blaming it? Even if I kill you, will this horse come back to life? No, then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go and cook the meat quickly, I'm really going to blame it! Hehe!"
"Oh, my lord, please go to the backyard and rest for a while. Wu Qian hit the person next to him who was still stunned, and reprimanded: "Wu Si! Why are you still stunned? Why don't you quickly peel the skin and stew horse meat." ”
"Yes, sir!" Wu Si hurriedly got up and went to skin the horse.
Wang Xiaoming said to Wu Qian: "Use a big pot to cook more, so that the whole village can come and eat." The folks may not be able to survive it!"
"Okay! The lord really loves the people like a son, the bodhisattva has a heart! The villain will arrange it immediately. Adults are really adults...... "It's another burst of high hats, patting sycophants." Everyone is good and obedient, and Wang Xiaoming is also fluttering when he listens to the words of praising himself.
Wu Qian made two cups of tea for Wang Xiaoming and served them respectfully. "Two adults, please have tea!"
Wang Xiaoming took the teacup, opened the lid and smelled it, a fragrance filled his nose, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea! Hmm? Didn't you say that you can't even afford to eat? How can you still have the money to buy such good tea?"
Wu Qian replied: "This is tea from a few years ago, there used to be a shop in the city that did tea business, so I always had good tea at home. ”
"Is the tea shop still there?" asked Yu Laowu.
Wu Qian shook his head and said, "They are all occupied by Yang Erhu together! Alas! This Yang family can't afford to be provoked! They have a Yang Lian, who is a big official in the capital. Officials of all sizes here come to cling, so the Yang family is rampant and domineering here, covering the sky with one hand, and no one dares to care!"
Wang Xiaoming nodded slightly, "You said that Yang Erhu occupied your real estate, etc., do you have any evidence?"
Wu Qian nodded and said, "Of course there is, the title deed, the house deed, and the title deed of the shop are still with me." ”
"Didn't Yang Erhu ask you for this? Just grab it like that!" Wang Xiaoming asked.
Wu Qian shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the few properties occupied by the Yang family in this Yingshan County do not require land deeds and house deeds. I guess they think they don't use it, and no one dares to ask them for it. ”
Wang Xiaoming narrowed his eyes, and after a little thought, he said, "In this way: tomorrow we will go into the city together, and you will go to those families and bring their land deeds and house deeds, which is a kind of evidence." Can you do this?"
Wu Qian said without thinking, "No problem! These people have long hated the Yang family, and I wish the imperial court would bring them to justice! I will do it tomorrow." ”
Wang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction, feeling that today was not in vain, although there was one less horse, it was worth it.
"By the way, is there a liquor seller around here? It's not interesting to eat meat without drinking. Yu Lao Wu asked Wu Qiandao.
Wu Qian said with a sly smile, "I am not satisfied with the two adults who said that I have no food here, and there is no shortage of anything else. Otherwise, I can't live just eating dandelions and other wild vegetables. Hey, hey!"
"Wine and meat, good!" Wang Xiaoming smiled.
Yu Lao Wu asked, "How much wine is there?" Is it good? My amount of wine is a bit large, four or five catties. Is there any?"
Wang Xiaoming wanted to laugh when he heard Yu Lao Wu bragging, he knew that Yu Lao Wu had a maximum of a pound of wine, and he was drunk several times when he drank it. Yu Lao Wu really bluffed Wu Qian, "Four or five catties! Yu Boss is really a lot." But don't worry! There are seven or eight large jars of 300 catties, how much can you drink?"
Wang Xiaoming patted Yu Lao Wu's shoulder and teased, "Fifth brother, if you want to drink the cup slowly, you can go in and take a bath." Huh!"
Wu Qian got up and said, "The two adults are here for a while, and the villain will go to the front yard to have a look, and then call the villagers to share the horse meat." ”
Wang Xiaoming waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Let's go! Remember: get some salt and pepper, and mix horse lung cold! I like this." ”
Wu Qian said with a smile, "Lord Wang is really a diner, don't worry! The villain can't do anything else, and he still has some attainments in eating and drinking." Stewed, braised, stir-fried, and cold salad will not be missing. ”
"Okay, good!" Yu Lao Wu drooled when he heard it, "Go quickly! Don't talk about it! ”
Wu Qian went out to explain to Wu Si, and then went out of the "martial arts compound" to the village, and called all the forty or so old and young masters who were left. Under the leadership of Wu Qian, these people came in and bowed to Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoming wanted to stop him, but Yu Lao Wu waved his hand and reluctantly accepted the kneeling of these people.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" everyone said in unison.
Wang Xiaoming waved his hand and said, "All the villagers get up!"
Wu Qian brought these fathers and villagers to the front yard and asked them to help Wu Si work.
