People came and went in the square in front of the Yamen of Yongfeng County, and when they saw someone shouting and shouting and killing, they gathered here to see the excitement.

Zeng Yu handed over the name card to Sixi and asked Sixi to go to the county government to stab, and Sixi ran away.

Xie Zidan led five healthy servants to rush to the front, seeing that Zeng Yu did not retreat but greeted him a few steps, Xie Zidan was afraid of Zeng Yu, for fear of being poisoned by Zeng Yu if he got too close, so he hurriedly stopped, and said to the guards: "Call me"

Zeng Yu crossed his hands on his hips and shouted: "Whoever dares to do it, don't look at what place this is." ”

Xie Zidan was beaten by Zeng Yu left and right that day, his nose and eyes were swollen, and it had been more than two months, and the bruises on his face had not disappeared, pointing at Zeng Yu and scolding: "Dog thief, slave child, look at how arrogant you are today, you lowly maid child, there is a mother who has no mother-"

Zeng Yu's face turned blue in an instant, his eyebrows were upside down, his teeth were clenched, he rushed over, and his right hand waved violently, and his face was a slap in the face-

Xie Zidan didn't expect that there were many people on his side, Zeng Yu dared to rush up and beat him, but he couldn't retreat, and was slapped to the ground by Zeng Yu.

One of the two servants of the Xie family waved a wooden stick, and one raised a flat pole to smash at Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu flashed the flat pole, bent his left arm to block the wooden stick, endured the severe pain in the forearm bone, twisted his arm, and his palm had already grabbed the wooden stick, and at the same time flew up and kicked over the servant holding the stick, and grabbed the wooden stick-

The other three Xie servants came over together, and Zeng Yu shouted: "Who dares to beat Xiucai" Holding a stick in one hand and dusting off the sleeves of his robe in the other, the identity of this member must be revealed, otherwise it would not be unjust to be beaten by a few stupid men.

When the Xie servants who came over heard Zeng Yu's words, they looked at each other, wow, square scarves and mattresses, Xiucai Xianggong, Xiucai Xianggong, who dares to fight, the official is going to be hit by 20 boards, several servants looked at each other, and they didn't dare to do anything.

Xie Zidan was helped up, covered half of his swollen face, and shouted angrily: "Kill him, kill him"

Chen Wangou said: "Sixth young master, he is a talent." ”

Xie Zidan's left ear "buzzed", and he rolled to the ground and didn't hear Zeng Yu's identity, and then he heard Chen Wangou's reminder, and saw Zeng Yu's Xiucai clothes clearly, and was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "He's a fake-" The corners of his mouth twitched, the pain was unbearable, and he said angrily: "What kind of talent is he, he has already fallen off the list, catch him, don't let him run away, and pull him to see the official." ”

Chen Wangou said: "I'll invite the eldest young master to come." "Ran away.

The so-called eldest young master is Xie Zidan's eldest brother Xie Mantang, Xie Mantang is a warden in the county government punishment room, and he is quite powerful in front of the flat-headed people, at this time, he heard the noisy voices of people on the side of Shenming Pavilion, and someone shouted "Beat people, beat people", Xie Mantang took two soaps to see who ate the leopard and dared to fight fiercely in front of the county government gate, and met Chen Wangou who ran over out of breath -

Chen Wangou said: "Big young master, that kid from the Zeng family beat the sixth young master again, and it's over there." ”

Xie Mantang frowned and asked, "It's Zeng Yu, this kid still dares to come back?" ”

Chen Wangou said: "Yes, he swaggered, knocked the sixth young master to the ground, and claimed to be a showman."

Xie Mantang said "oh", waved his hand, walked quickly to the Shenming Pavilion with two soaps, drank away from the crowd, and sure enough, he saw the kid of the Zeng family standing there with a square scarf and a mattress, and when he saw him coming, he was not panicked, and arched his hand and called "Brother Xie".

Xie Zidan covered half of his face and shouted: "Big brother, this kid is so rampant, arrest him to see the official." ”

Xie Mantang glanced at his younger brother Xie Zidan, then looked Zeng Yu up and down with a gloomy face, and asked coldly, "Where did you get this towel?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "Jiangxi Xuezheng Huang personally awarded it. ”

Xie Mantang said: "As far as I know, there is no name of you among the eight talents in this county.

Zeng Yu said truthfully: "I did fail in the Guangxin Mansion Examination, and I was unwilling, so I rushed to Yuanzhou to make an exception for Huang Tixue to make up the exam, and I was able to enter the school, and I am now a student of the government." ”

Xie Zidan crooked his mouth and shouted: "Jiang Yuanrui of Dashi is a student of the house, how can there be this kid in the school, this little concubine raises-"

"Shut up" Zeng Yu shouted angrily, pointed at Xie Zidan with a wooden stick in his hand and said: "For the sake of your eldest brother here, I will spare you this time, if you dare to speak disrespectfully, I will knock out all your teeth." ”

Xie Zidan hurriedly hid behind his eldest brother Xie Mantang and said, "Big brother, look, this kid is so arrogant, he dares to say that he wants to beat me in front of you." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Brother Xie, for the sake of my brother and sister-in-law's face, I don't care much about Xie Zidan, and I don't want to have a deep grudge with your Xie family. ”

Seeing Zeng Yu's calm appearance, Xie Mantang couldn't help but hesitate a little, and thought: "Could it be that this kid has really entered the school, or is he pretending to be a big talker, thinking that I don't dare to confront him in front of Sixian Zun, so I will fool the past?" ”

That Xie Zidan is a hundred people who don't believe that Zeng Yu has become a talent, seeing that the eldest brother Xie Mantang seems to be frightened by Zeng Yu, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he doesn't say it's a county student but says it's a government student, obviously he is deceiving you and won't go to Fucheng to verify, so I'm still the champion." ”

Zeng Yu said lightly: "Why do you need to go to Fucheng, go to see Sixian Zun to know the truth, I'm afraid that you will regret it when you see it."

Xie Zidan's left face was in severe pain, and when he saw Zeng Yu's calm appearance, he was even more angry, and shouted: "Big brother, aren't you just about to arrest him for an official, he will be honest when he is tied up, look at how he pretends to be a ghost." ”

Xie Mantang also felt that it was impossible to take the make-up examination to enter school, and the younger brother Xie Zidan was beaten twice, even if Zeng Yu was Xiucai, could Xiucai be able to beat people casually, and drank two soaps: "Take him to the criminal ward." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Xie Dian, I want to arrest you, don't involve the two of them, I dare to say, Xie Dian, you arrested me, you can't do it, you can see the results immediately, and you will soon see the difference." ”

How can Xiucai catch it casually, the two soaps hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

Xie Mantang was angered by Zeng Yu's words, so many people looked at it, who didn't recognize him Xie Mantang, if he was frightened by Zeng Yu's two words, wouldn't it be disgraced, he was not a countryman who hadn't seen Xiucai, what was Xiucai, how many Xiucai had been a school teacher all his life and died of poverty and old age, how could he be a pawn and be prestigious, not to mention that Zeng Yu's Xiucai was fake, take 10,000 steps back, even if Zeng Yu's Xiucai is true, how can he compare to his popularity and connections in the county government, no matter how he fights, he is not afraid of this kid-

"Hold him, what is there for me to bear, go quickly."

Xie Mantang said, his eyes widened, and the two soaps stepped forward helplessly, Zeng Yu said: "You don't have to arrest me, I'll go with you to see Si County Zun." ”

At this time, Sixi's voice came: "Young master, young master, the county respects you and asks you to come in and meet - Mr. Yang, hurry up, those people are going to beat my young master." ”

The crowd of onlookers heard that the county respected the invitation, so they hurriedly got out of the way, and a man in his fifties dressed as a staff member walked over with Xiao Xi Sixi, who ran to Zeng Yu and asked urgently: "Young master, are you okay?" ”

Zeng Yu dropped the wooden stick in his hand, lightly pressed his left forearm, and there was some swelling and pain near the lower Lian acupoint, and said, "I took a stick, it's okay." ”

The old staff member came over and bowed his hand to Zeng Yu and said, "Is this Zeng Gongzi, the county is invited, Lu Hanlin is inside-what happened just now, Xie Dian, who did you see beating Zeng Gongzi?" ”

Xie Mantang saw this old staff member appear, and secretly shouted in his heart, this old staff member's surname is Yang, and he is the right-hand man of Zhixian Sizheng, since Master Yang came out to invite Zeng Yu to see the county respect, it seems that Zeng Yu's student is true, and then he laughed and said: "Mr. Yang, a little misunderstanding, a little misunderstanding, I am in-law with this Zeng Gongzi, and my sister is Zeng Gongzi's sister-in-law." ”

Xie Zidan was stunned and didn't dare to say anything.

Sixi shouted: "I know that Lu Dao is an in-law, and I also asked someone to beat my young master, and I saw that these people were all holding sticks and sticks." ”

Seeing Zeng Yu rubbing his forearm, Yang staff hurriedly asked, "Is Zeng Gongzi seriously injured, do you want to ask a doctor for treatment?"

Zeng Yu thought about it or forget it, there is no need to worry about Xie Mantang and Xie Zidan, the eldest brother Zeng Qian still has to live with the Xie family, and said to Yang staff: "Thank you Mr. Yang for your concern, some minor injuries are not in the way." His eyes were fixed on Xie Mantang.

Xie Mantang sweated on his forehead, Zeng Yu is an extraordinary student, could it be that Zeng Yu and Sizhi County have become friends, that is bad

When Yang saw Zeng Yu looking at Xie Mantang, he asked Xie Mantang in a deep voice: "Xie Dian, what are you thinking about with soap?" The tone was dissatisfied.

Zeng Yu pointed to the manservant of the Xie family who had beaten him with a stick, and said, "This person just hit my left arm with a wooden stick—", and as he spoke, he lifted his big sleeve, revealing his left forearm, which was red and swollen, and put down his sleeve and waved to Yang's staff: "Please Mr. Yang be my master." ”

Yang's staff was sharp and meticulous, and understood what Zeng Yu meant, Zeng Yu wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so he ordered the two soaps to arrest the Xie servant and hand him over to the criminal department for disposal, and beat Xiucai, and the crime was added by one degree-

The servant of the Xie family was frightened and shouted: "How dare the villain fight Xiucai, it was the sixth young master of my family who ordered the villain to do it, the villain was wronged, the villain was wronged-"

Staff Yang looked at Zeng Yu and saw what Zeng Yu said, do you want to make things bigger?

Zeng Yu said: "Thank you Mr. Yang for administering justice for me, let's go see the county lord." ”

Staff Yang hurriedly said: "Okay, Zeng Gongzi, please." Turning his head and looking at Xie Mantang sternly, he reprimanded: "Zeng Gongzi is not concerned with you for the sake of his in-laws, otherwise you will be respected and blamed by the county today, and you will quickly arrest that Diao slave and take him to the twenty rods." He also said, "Your younger brother should also be disciplined." ”

Xie Mantang was only stunned, and his face was flushed.
