Chapter 8: Punishment
Lizi was worried that Bai Haohong would continue to ask, and it was inevitable that she would show her feet, busy gossiping, and took the initiative to introduce Bai Haohong to "The Legend of Bai Haohong", she roughly explained the content of the novel, Bai Haohong listened with interest, and finally Liz asked: "Brother Bai, is everything in the book true?" ”
"Weirdly funny to write! It's not a documentary article, so what does it matter if it's true or not? ”
"But in the novel, you like to cut people's ears."
"Novels are always exaggerated, for example, if you slap someone, you can cut off one ear in the novel."
"I see."
At this time, the carriage passed a small hurdle, and Liz couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Bai, I used to think that riding a carriage was the same as riding a car, but now I know that the carriage is too bumpy, and after sitting for a long time, the bones will fall apart!" It would be nice to have a few thick springs under the carriage. ”
"Cars? Spring? What are those? ”
After Lizzy explained a little, he began to introduce airplanes, spaceships and other things that were not available in ancient times, Bai Haohong listened to it with relish, he is now completely sure that Liz is a person in the future, because with Liz's intelligence, it should not be possible to make up so many novel things.
"Brother Bai, you are so interested in my hometown, when the spaceship is found, go to the future with me."
"What can I do when I go?"
"You're talented, you're well-versed in music, and there's a lot you can do."
"Are you homesick?"
"I have no way to live independently in Da Song, all the expenses are paid by you, I am very sorry not to go."
"So you care about this. In this way, if you tell me more about your hometown in the future, I will go to the teahouse to listen to the commentary, and what you say is much more interesting than the old commentary, and you can also write a novel about your hometown to me. ”
"What type of novels do you like to read?"
"Everything."
"I'll write a detective novel for you later."
"Detected?"
"It's about handling cases. There are a lot of novels about handling cases in my hometown, and I will rewrite them, and if you read them, it may help you solve the case. ”
"That's a good idea."
In the evening, after Bai Haohong and his party settled down in the inn, they went to a restaurant to eat, and after Lizi sat down, he looked around and saw a middle-aged man in the west, who seemed to be a eunuch, with a fierce and vulgar face. "Brother Bai, that local tyrant in the west is so fierce, after I came to the Great Song Dynasty, I rarely saw this kind of face." Liz said.
"You'll see it a lot in the future."
As he was talking, he saw an old man in shabby clothes come to the local tyrant, kneeling down on his knees, tears flowing, begging for something, but the local tyrant shook his head on his back and ignored it. Liz couldn't look past it, and was about to tell Bai Haohong, but found that Bai Haohong had already walked to the old man's side.
Bai Haohong helped the old man up and asked, "Old man, why do you have to kneel down and beg?" ”
The old man cried and said, "My son doesn't know, because I owe a debt, he wants to pay off my house, so he pleaded, but he didn't agree." Ask the prince to solve the problem. ”
Bai Haohong listened, glared at the local tyrant, and asked angrily, "How much does he owe you?" ”
The local tyrant turned around and replied: "I owe me ten taels of silver for the principal, and if the interest has not been paid for two years, it is sixty taels, a total of seventy taels." ”
Bai Haohong sneered: "It's gone up six times in two years, isn't this a robbery?!" You bring the IOU. After Bai Haohong took the IOU, he handed the local tyrant seventy taels of silver and said: "Today in front of everyone, the money is about two yuan, and I don't owe you anything!" ”
The local tyrant took the silver and replied with a smile: "I don't owe it, I don't owe it." He arched his hand and walked out of the restaurant.
After Bai Haohong handed over the IOU to the old man, the old man thanked him and left.
At this time, Xiao Er, who ran the hall, served the best wine and food, and Liz saw that it was all what she liked to eat, and she didn't pretend to be Sven anymore, and devoured it. Looking at Lizi's eating appearance, Bai Haohong was stunned, and hurriedly added seven or eight dishes, and then said to Lizi in surprise: "Lizi, I haven't seen a girl like you who can eat, aren't you afraid of being fat?" ”
"Big Brother Bai, some women deliberately go on a diet in order to be slim and spoil their bodies, you see how healthy I am! Moreover, I eat high-protein foods, and in my experience, no matter how much I eat, I can't gain weight. ”
After Lizi finished eating several dishes, she finally put down her chopsticks, Bai Haohong thought she was done, but after Lizi wiped her mouth, she asked, "Brother Bai, when will the fruit be served after dinner?" ”
While talking and laughing, after Liz finished eating a few more plates of fruit, Bai Haohong couldn't help but ask, "It's really strange, why didn't I hear the Zhuang brothers say that you can eat it?" ”
"When I was in Zhuangfu, I didn't dare to let go of eating, for fear of scaring the old lady of their family, and I was hungry every day."
"Why aren't you afraid of scaring me?"
"I know that Big Brother Bai is full of guts, how can he be scared!" Then Liz lowered her voice again, and said mysteriously: "I also know that Brother Bai will wear night clothes tonight and go out to do important things." ”
"How did you guess?"
"There is a record in "The Legend of Bai Haohong": Tonight you will sneak into the local tyrant's house, cut off his son's nose, Zhanpeng Zhan Renxia took advantage of the chaos to take away his family's three hundred taels of silver, and then you took the remaining three hundred taels, and before leaving, you burned his house to the ground."
"Set fire to someone's house?! It simply wrote me as a robber, and the author has a grudge against me. Moreover, Brother Zhan should be in the Criminal Department now, and it is absolutely impossible for him to appear here. ”
After settling the bill, Bai Haohong gave the little two a reward, they were so happy, after Bai Haohong left, the little two were still talking, and one of them said: "Their brothers and sisters are very beautiful." ”
Another asked, "How do you know it's brother and sister?" ”
"It's not my own brother, can you be willing to let her eat like that?"
"I don't think they look alike, and if it's a family, how can my brother eat Sven and my sister eat and be scared to death."
"How can the little girl eat so much? Fortunately, I was not born in my family, and I was also poor by her! ”
"Can your family give birth to something like this? You're beautiful! She will marry a prince and nobleman in the future, maybe she will become a mother, won't you be developed? ”
"Not bad indeed! To be honest, I've seen prettier than that little girl, but she's more attractive. ”
Early the next morning, after Liz finished freshening up, she came to Bai Haohong's room and asked, "Brother Bai, how was your action last night?" Did you meet someone? ”
"It's going well, I'm alone, take the three hundred taels of silver in the drawer and leave."
"Why is it written like that in the book of "The Legend of Bai Haohong"?"
"How can it be a good novel without plot twists?!"
"What are you going to do with the three hundred taels of silver?"
"Use them now."
Liz thought to herself: "I ate so sumptuous last night, and I only used about ten taels of silver, how can I spend these three hundred taels of silver?" ”
Bai Haohong called the housekeeper Bai Cheng and asked, "Is the silver ready for almsgiving?" ”
"The old rule, five hundred taels of silver has already been prepared."
"Take the money too, and give it eight hundred taels this time."
After Bai Cheng left, Liz sighed: "I can't imagine that Big Brother Bai loves charity so much. ”
"It's not about charity, it's better to live, and it's also appropriate to help the poor."
"Buddhism says that wealth comes from charity, Brother Bai, you will definitely have money in your next life."
"You still know the Dharma?"
"Don't underestimate me! When I was at home, I recited the Diamond Sutra every day. ”
"I also have scriptures at home, and you can also read them in the Great Song Dynasty."
Lizi opened the chatterbox and talked about gossip, and just as he was talking about Xingtou, Bai Cheng hurried back and whispered a few words in Bai Haohong's ear, Bai Haohong replied: "Okay, bring him immediately." Then he said to Liz, "You go back to your room and pack your bags, and when you're ready, go to the first floor and assemble." ”
