Chapter 63: Worms in the Vegetable Field
Zhao Hengzhi put his arms under the back of his head and pillowed his head, and said leisurely: "I haven't thought of any good way for the time being." Let's build a home for the refugees first, and when life is more stable, it's not too late to fight them. ”
"At the current pace of construction, it will take more than a month to complete. However, this time is not too long, and I believe everyone will be patient. Yao Yuran said thoughtfully.
As the night got thicker, Yao Yuran's eyelids sank more and more, and Zhao Hengzhi's snoring sounded.
The next day, the soft sunlight shone on every corner of the yamen, gilding the original dilapidated roof with a layer of bright light.
Zhao Hengzhi happily opened his eyes, after lying on the bed for so long yesterday, his spirit today is extraordinarily sufficient.
"Knock knock!" A drum beat broke the silence of the early morning.
Zhao Hengzhi's original hazy sleepiness was also swept away, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Yao Yuran hurrying towards him.
"Husband, there is someone beating drums at the gate of the yamen again, you hurry up and go to the lobby to take a look!" Yao Yuran told him what happened this morning.
Zhao Hengzhi paced and quickly came to the yamen lobby.
I saw two old women kneeling in the lobby of the yamen, and their clothes were all coarse linen from ordinary people, which showed that their lives were not very rich.
The heads of the two peasant women were surprisingly consistent, as messy as a chicken nest, and Zhao Hengzhi guessed that they might have already fought before coming here.
Zhao Hengzhi sat on the chair quietly, he picked up the startling wood and patted it, and said, "Excuse me, who are you two suing?" ”
The kneeling old woman in goose yellow clothes wiped away a handful of tears and cried: "My lord, the woman's name is Fang Erxi, and the woman wants to sue this Dong Lijiao, she let her dog bite my little chick to death......"
Yao Yuran, who was standing beside Zhao Hengzhi, couldn't help it, and laughed with a 'poof'. Originally, I thought that someone was going to sue the Wang family, but now I know that it is just such a trivial matter.
Another old woman in lilac clothes pointed at Fang Erxi angrily, and hurriedly cried, "Lord Zhao, you have to give a comment to the people's women, this vicious peasant woman actually blinded one of my Ah Huang's eyes with a stick!" ”
"My lord, don't listen to her, hum, they all say that the dog follows the master, I think the master follows the dog, and they are all just as cruel!" Wang Erxi said indignantly.
Yao Yuran has sorted out his thinking, to put it bluntly, the east and the west are short, and both families are at fault, but they refuse to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. For such a trivial matter, they still have the face to run to the court to avenge their grievances!
Yao Yuran's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Well, that vicious dog dared to bite the chick to death, if you want me to say, it's too light, it should be wrapped in egg liquid, sticky with breadcrumbs, and fried in the pot until golden and crispy and take out the oil, the old people and children love to eat it, and the children next door are crying!" ”
Dong Lijiao hurriedly retorted: "My Ah Huang has always been very well-behaved, if she hadn't kept the chickens in captivity and ran to my family's territory, my Ah Huang wouldn't have spoken to it!" ”
"Hmph, then is it reasonable for your dog to bite my chicken to death?" Fang Erxi hurriedly choked.
These two people began to scold each other again, and Zhao Hengzhi felt like there were countless chickens cooing in his ears, and it was like a dog barking.
"That's it! Don't make any noise! Zhao Heng's anger was shocked.
The two peasant women quieted down and looked at Zhao Hengzhi quietly. "Ahem, ahem!" Zhao Hengzhi cleared his throat and said seriously: "Don't make any noise, listen to the official to decide the case." ”
Dong Lijiao and Fang Erxi both set their eyes on Zhao Hengzhi, wanting to hear how he came to judge this confused case.
Zhao Heng's face was serious, and he said: "Dong Lijiao, your dog bites other people's chickens, no matter what the reason, it is the dog's sin to take the chicken's life, and you, as the owner of the dog, should compensate others for a chicken." ”
As soon as Zhao Hengzhi's words fell, Fang Erxi began to be proud, gloating: "You deserve it." ”
And Dong Lijiao immediately rolled her eyes at Fang Erxi, she was unconvinced: "Then what about my Ah Huang, its eyes are still blind." ”
Zhao Hengzhi took the cup of tea made by Xing Yu without hurry, took a sip, and said: "Fang Erxi, you didn't take good care of your chickens, this is your dereliction of duty, you also injured someone's dog, you have to bear the medical expenses of someone to hire a veterinarian, you have to compensate Dong Lijiao five taels of silver!" ”
Zhao Hengzhi's words also convinced Dong Lijiao.
"Thank you, sir! Your Excellency really knows what is going on! Both of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Hengzhi, and left the yamen satisfied.
"It's not bad, I know how to solve cases!" Yao Yuran looked at Zhao Hengzhi with admiration and cast an approving gaze.
Zhao Hengzhi smiled and said: "Hehe, I have also seen this kind of thing, it is necessary to let them all be punished, so that they can feel balanced in their hearts." ”
Ye Junjun's eyebrows fluttered and said, "It's the first time I've watched Brother Hengzhi's case!" Brother Hengzhi deserves to be my former male god. ”
"The former male god ???" Zhao Hengzhi frowned slightly, staring at Ye Junjun, "I don't like to hear what you say, what do you mean by 'former male god'?" Am I not your male god now? ”
Ye Junjun laughed twice and said, "The current male god has changed, and Chu Xiao is my male god." ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Chu Xiao's mouth hooked up a good-looking arc, it was not in vain that he was infatuated with Ye Junjun, and he could finally get Ye Junjun's affirmation.
"You, you should have self-knowledge, where are you as good as listening to the owner of the rain building!" Yao Yuran did not forget to ridicule him.
Zhao Hengzhi pouted, "Hmph, I'm still the four princes of the capital!" ”
The four of them were talking and laughing, and Lu Hai suddenly ran in in a hurry outside.
"Oh no, sir!" The air on land and sea does not connect to the airway.
"When did you panic?" Zhao Hengzhi sat upright and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Lu Hai wiped a handful of sweat and said, "We watered the vegetable seedlings today, and found that the vegetables in the vegetable seedlings looked like they had been bitten by insects, and there were broken leaves......"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, this is the rapeseed they worked so hard to sow, and it finally grew so big, but it was bitten by pests.
"Let's take a look!" Zhao Hengzhi and Yao Yuran came to the vegetable field in the back mountain.
The green leaves, with some scattered holes on them, really looked like they had been bitten by something.
Chu Xiao squatted down, looked carefully, and said slowly: "It seems that he has indeed been bitten by insects." ”
Ye Junjun was a little panicked: "Then what can I do, even if I catch all these pests, if I can't keep them, there will be more pests to regenerate......
Yao Yuran pondered for a moment, she had also encountered this situation in modern times, if it was in the 21st century, it was only necessary to sprinkle pesticides to solve the problem, but now in ancient times, there were only other methods.
"Don't panic, this pest is just an ordinary green vegetable worm, we just need to kill them all, and then sprinkle salt in the vegetable field to make sure they don't dare to come again!" Yao Yuran said calmly.
Yao Yuran knows that this is because of his modern grandmother, the old man likes to plant some vegetables in the vegetable garden, Yao Yuran has seen how his grandmother manages the vegetable garden, and knows that he can use this method to eliminate pests.
"Table salt? It seems that only Mu Haicheng who has Lincheng can ......," Lu Tian said beside him.
It makes sense for Lu Tian to say this, because now that Micheng has just experienced floods, people are panicked, and they can't buy so much salt.
"Then I will go to Muhai City with Hengzhi, and you will stay and guard the yamen." Yao Yuran immediately offered to do this.
Ye Junjun smiled evilly, stabbed Yao Yuran's arm, and said, "Yuran, you want to create an opportunity to be alone with Brother Hengzhi." ”
Yao Yuran's cheeks flushed slightly, and he hurriedly retorted: "No, how could I want to ...... with him?"
Ye Junjun shook his head and said, "Since you don't want to follow him, then just let Chu Xiao and Brother Hengzhi go!" ”
"Okay, don't make trouble, I want to go with my wife!" Zhao Hengzhi couldn't hold back and stood up to speak.
He stared at Yao Yuran with blazing eyes, and his eyes were full of love for Yao Yuran, without concealing it.
Yao Yuran deliberately avoided Zhao Hengzhi's scorching gaze, she didn't want Zhao Hengzhi to misunderstand anything, she had just been hurt by Mu Chengfeng, and she didn't want to start a new relationship so soon.
Yao Yuran and Zhao Hengzhi hired a carriage and hit the road together. The carriage was swaying and the bumpy distance reminded Yao Yuran of the scene when they visited Guanyin Temple together and sat in the same carriage when they were in the capital, and they were also fighting along the way.
But now, Yao Yuran and Zhao Hengzhi are surprisingly quiet, and the two are silent.
"You ......"
"You ......"
At that time, the two of them spoke at the same time, wanting to break the embarrassing silence, Yao Yuran squeezed the embroidered handkerchief, and her lips opened lightly: "The snake venom you had last time should be completely fine, right?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Heng's heart warmed, Yao Yuran still remembered his poisoning, and his eyes flashed with a trace of joy. Just such a simple word of concern was enough to move him.
Zhao Hengzhi bowed slightly, and said: "It's really good, the spirit is still quite full in the past two days, and there is no sign of sleepiness." ”
Yao Yuran smiled lightly and said, "That's good." ”
"I want to say, you came to Micheng with me, and you were tired together." Zhao Hengzhi was full of guilt, he had long wanted to tell her this sentence, he always complained about how bad she was to him, and he was always rude to him, but he didn't expect that she would follow him to such a grassless place as Micheng.
Yao Yuran lowered his eyes and muttered: "I forced you to buy an official, if it weren, without me, you wouldn't have bought an official ......."
She's always forced him to do things he doesn't like, and she wants to make him strong and break out of the world. But he also knew that these were all things that Zhao Hengzhi didn't want to do.
