Chapter 027: I'm Your Uncle
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Wurat rolled on the ground in fright, but he didn't expect to fall into the paddy field. Gong Changyu didn't put him to death, but just cut off a few strands of hair on his head, and he raised his eyebrows: "Count you lucky!" β
Chen Wurat, who was rolling and crawling in the paddy field, ran away and said in embarrassment: "Little brother spare your life, little brother spare your life......
"I'm your uncle!" Gong Changyu carried a saber and blocked Chen Wurat's way, and Chen Wurat had to turn his head and run again.
"Little ones, give it to me, hack this rabbit cub to death, ten taels of silver per person-" Dai Mingshi pushed the "birthmark man" forward, but he turned around and fled up the mountain.
Four thugs with Pu knives surrounded Gong Changyu one after the other, one left and one right, and slashed violently, Pu Dao went down, and the saber slashed back.
One against four, Gong Changyu was not afraid at all, and used the "* method" one hundred and eight styles, splitting, chopping, cutting, and cutting...... The moves were clear-sighted, forcing the opponent to retreat again and again, two of the backs were cut open and bloody, and Gong Changyu was unscathed.
More than a dozen short-term workers of the Zhu family held flat poles, and they did not dare to step forward to fight against the Dai family with a simple knife in their hands, so they could only watch the battle and cheer on the side: "Gong Lao learns mighty, mighty Gong Lao learns!" β
Those few family members are all three-legged cat kung fu, and after a few moves, the old routine is repeated, and within a dozen rounds, all the Pu knives have been cut off, and a family with a broken knife in his hand can't help but be shocked: "Dude, run, otherwise we will become a dead soul under the knife!" β
"Withdrawβ"
As a result, several family members fled on the road as if they were dead, and Gong Changyu was not in a hurry to chase and kill, he hung up his saber and said to the short-term workers: "Uncles, you have cooked all these ducks, I will drive them away, and then come back to eat roast duck." β
"Okay." Six or seven day-laborers erected the tree, lit a fire on the spot, and began to roast the duck.
After a while, the feathers of more than 20 ducks were all burned by the firewood, and the aroma of roast duck wafted everywhere in the mountain chong, Rong Sen smelled the fragrant smell of roast duck, and walked around the fire and asked, "How long will it take for the ducks to eat?" β
"Little master, wait a little longer." A short-term worker answered, constantly turning the torso of the roast duck.
"Okay." Jungsen crouched down next to one of the fastest roasted ducks......
Chen Wurat jumped up from the paddy field covered in mud, blocking the way of several escapees: "What are you running, four or five of us can't beat a child, is it a shame to say that it is embarrassing to go out? What kind of face will there be in the Sidu area in the future? β
"The old man has slipped away, we are working hard, what is the use of birds!" The birthmark man threw the handle of the knife to the ground, "I don't even have a coffin board when I die!" β
"That's right, I remember once fighting with the Tan family in Linxian County for the mountains and forests, the lord's distant relative Li Yuyu was killed in a fight, and the lord paid a pair of cold zi (a kind of box containing corpses, very thin, looks shabby) and a dozen taels of silver, how can it not make people feel cold?" Chen Wurat remembered that private fight, and said angrily, "My arm was cut off a large piece of meat by the Tan family's family on the spot, and as a result, I got 500 cultural and medical expenses, so you can pluck your hair!" β
"It's a good thing I didn't go at the time, and I'm the one who won't die, thank goodness!" The birthmark man clasped his hands together and gloated and looked up to the sky.
"You're faster than anyone else. The people of the Tan family are much more fierce than us, and their martial arts are real, but compared with the kid with the saber, they are still a lot inferior. Chen Wurat blocked the sunlight with a simple knife, and looked at Gong Changyu, who was carrying a saber in the distance.
Gong Changyu carried a saber and rushed over like a gale, followed by six or seven short-term workers holding flat poles, and when he saw that he was about to catch up with Chen Wuqi and them, he shouted: "Where do you escape!" β
"Boy, the ducks are all for you to eat, and what are you chasing after us?" Chen Wurat held the Pu knife in both hands and shouted at Gong Changyu.
"You can't know in your hearts that ninety percent of the farmland in this lime chong and broken head chong belongs to the Zhu family's compound and the Dai Ming family. I'm afraid that the tribute rice in the four capitals this year is not enough, and the Daoli Emperor will definitely be furious, and Dai Mingshi's head is estimated to be difficult to protect! Gong Changyu cut off a bowl-sized cypress tree on the side of the road with a knife, and the birthmark man trembled with fright.
"Hey, boy, Gongmi is paid by your Zhu family, not the Dai family, what does it have to do with Dai plucking?" Chen Wurat smiled.
"The ducks put by the duck guy are old things, and the ducks have trampled on the seedlings, so they naturally have to find the owner of the ducks!" Rong Sen also followed, and said in a milky voice, "If we don't compensate for our losses, my father will send a complaint to the Yamen of Baocheng Mansion." β
"Baocheng Mansion Yin is the cousin and nephew of my uncle, but I'm afraid there is no way to complain." Dai Mingyu, the housekeeper of the Dai family, appeared, with an oiled paper fan stuck in his collar.
"You just blow it, Jingnan County Shou is still my cousin! You're a bad old man, you're bad! Gong Changyu didn't believe his nonsense at all.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, Master Dai's second son is working as an errand boy in the county government, and everyone in the entire four capitals knows about it." Dai Mingyu was full of spirit.
"What's so great about catching fast, it's not just a temporary errand invited by the yamen. If you want to bully people, you don't want to inquire about how many muskets there are in our Zhu family compound? Gong Changyu held the saber, snorted and slashed the saber, and put it on Dai Mingyu's shoulder.
"Boy, look at you, a charcoal-burning guy, you dare to pretend to be a person from the Zhu family's compound, I think you are eating and drinking in the Zhu family, and it's almost the same as calling Huazi!" Dai Mingyu gently touched the back of the knife with his fingers, "If you have a kind of slash on my shoulder, come on!" β
"I'm not called Hanako! I am Gong Laoxue, and I am a guest in the courtyard of the Zhu family! Gong Changyu was so angry that the knife edge was pressed, and Dai Mingyu's clothes were torn, and the blade was close to the skin of his shoulder, "Bad old man, don't think I don't dare!" β
"Don't be stupid, young man." Dai Mingyu felt the coldness of the blade, and a cold sweat broke out, "You hurt me, the second young master of the Dai family will not let you go!" β
"The second young master of the Dai family is a bird, and my aunt's grandfather's arms and thighs are broken, and he is all over the ground looking for teeth!" Gong Changyu smiled.
"Dare to ask your aunt's and grandfather's name?" Dai Mingyu knew that the posterior in front of him was a bit of a beginning, and his tone immediately softened a lot.
"I won't tell you!" Gong Changyu clenched his saber tightly, "Unless you give me silver." β
"Hero, if you have something to say." Dai Mingyu fumbled in the money bag for a while, took out a piece of silver, and sent it to Gong Changyu, "Is it enough?" β
"Not enough." Gong Changyu bit the silver ingot, "This silver is not in good condition, and it still needs an ingot." β
"A good man, you can't be greedy in everything." Dai Mingyu had no choice but to take out another ingot of silver, "That's why I brought so much." β
"Look at the bulging money in your money bag, there won't be no ......," Gong Changyu said with a smile.
Dai Mingyu hurriedly covered the money bag, shook his head and said, "It's a lot, it's not much." β
"Open it and take a look!" Gong Changyu shouted.
"It's really not much." Dai Mingyu said that he would not untie the money bag, "There are only some copper plates left......
"If you want to untie it, I'll see if it's a copper plate in the money bag." Gong Changyu pointed to Dai Mingyu's money bag and said.
Under Gong Changyu's "persecution", Dai Mingyu had no choice but to half-squat and pour out the contents of the money bag, and the copper coins rolled on the grass.
Gong Changyu suddenly saw two small black round balls, and he stepped on the small round balls and asked sharply, "What is this?" Geezer. β
"My medicine ......," Dai Mingyu replied, but his eyes were flustered.
"Then you can eat it now!" Gong Changyu said.
"You can only take it if you burn it......" Dai Mingyu said in a hurry.
Gong Changyu immediately thought of seeing a skinny gambler in the Niushiqiao gambling den, and the gambler burned small round balls while gambling, and said that he was curing diseases.
Gong Changyu pondered, is this the rumored big smoke (the common name of opium ball)? If so, where did it come from? I have to ask clearly, and make a clear question: "Can I eat it when I burn it?" Is it a big smoke? β
"Yes, you can't take it until you burn it. Hero, I use this medicine to treat stomach problems and relieve pain. I promise this pill is definitely not a big smoke ball. Dai Mingyu reached out to grab the small round ball.
"Is that true?" Gong Changyu let go of his foot, "Then you go with me to the fire over there and burn it." β
"Yes, yes, yes." Dai Mingyu hurriedly picked up the small round ball and copper coins, "But there are no tools to burn medicines, so why don't you go?" β
"Let you go, you have to go." Gong Changyu did not back down, and the saber was across Dai Mingyu's neck.
"Heroic ......" Dai Mingyu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth, "This is a big cigarette ball smuggled into Baocheng Mansion by foreign businessmen......"
"Okay, you old man, you can't eat anything, you prefer to eat big smoke as food, have you been kicked in the brain by a donkey?" Gong Changyu grabbed Dai Mingyu's shirt.
"I can't help it, I'm addicted......" Dai Mingyu cried.
"Because of the ban on the tobacco trade, the imperial court fought a war with foreign armies for several years, and in the end it paid more than 20 million silver dollars to foreign countries. Gong Changyu shouted and reprimanded, and snatched Dai Mingyu's money bag.
"I'm a grass farmer, and I don't know anything." Dai Mingyu replied in a low voice.
"An ordinary farmer only earns ten taels of silver a year, and he has a little more skills. Let me ask you, how much silver does Dai Mingshi give you in a year? β
"Not much, forty taels."
"How much silver is a big ball of smoke?"
"Four to six taels."
"And how many big cigarette balls do you smoke a year?"
"Eight to ten."
"Old fool." Gong Changyu shook his hand and slapped Dai Mingyu, "As soon as an ordinary family gets caught in big smoke, the family is basically ruined, and the annual income is not enough to eat big smoke." You are a little housekeeper, can you afford to eat big cigarettes? β
