Chapter 56 The Storm on the Flatland
When the guards who arrived to report the news talked about the teahouse on the outskirts of Beijing, Feng Changqing was shocked, and when he heard An Yi again, he couldn't help but drum in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”
An Wuji smiled and said: "When I entered the city, I happened to be drinking tea and resting there, the bamboo building was quite interesting, but the boss was very fierce."
Feng Changqing was stunned. Fierce? This, is An Wuji sure that he is not in the wrong place? However, now is not the time to pursue it, so he hurriedly coaxed An Wuji to go back to his house and wait for him, Feng Changqing quickly whipped his horse, burned his butt and rushed to the outskirts of Beijing.
At this moment, the tea house in the countryside, the fragrance of tea is curling, the laughter is endless, and it is a peaceful pastoral scenery.
Suddenly, the sand and dust outside the door rose, and a group of wolf-like officials broke into the teahouse with iron chains, their eyes were glaring, their faces were flat, and they drank loudly: "Tianfu should handle the case, and idlers should avoid it!" ”
For a while, the tables and chairs collapsed, and the tea guests panicked and scattered.
The village girls who worked in the teahouse were so frightened that their faces were pale and their feet were soft, and they wanted to run away if they were smart, so they let the messenger stop them head-on, and shouted coldly: "None of the people in the teahouse are allowed to leave!" Where's the boss? ”
The village girls looked at Qinggu tremblingly, Qinggu herself was actually trembling, these days, which ordinary people are not afraid of officials. What's more, she, a simple girl who grew up in an ordinary village, has never seen such a big battle.
A headcatcher dressed as an errand came closer: "Someone has sued your teahouse, come with us!" As he spoke, he shook his hand and put the chain down.
Caught in a heavy, heavy and cold iron chain, Qinggu's face turned blue and asked in a trembling voice, "Who sued me?" ”
"We don't know, it's like a case of hurting people, but in short, you will understand when you get to the yamen. Everyone in the teahouse had to bring in a testimony. ”
Qinggu was shocked and remorseful: "Did he really sue me?" ”
"What?" The head catcher himself was also surprised. He slipped his mouth and said, "Who sued you?" ”
The surrounding servants also locked up the village girls, and the village girls were so frightened that they cried and screamed.
"If I knew this, I wouldn't have come here to help no matter how much I was paid."
"Blind date, blind date, throwing people down from the second floor, what kind of woman is this?"
"If you don't behave well, you will ...... us"
Crying and scolding all around, Qinggu was embarrassed and embarrassed when she heard it.
The officers looked at Qinggu together. The head-catcher eyes were shining: "I can't see it, you still have such a means!" A weak woman can throw a man downstairs. Your martial arts skills should be good, right? ”
Qinggu was stunned: "Martial arts? ”
The head catcher continued to sneer: "To do such a shocking thing, presumably the proprietress is not a layman." ”
Qinggu couldn't hear his voice, but said worriedly: "Official, although I threw him downstairs, I only threw him on the soft ground, he shouldn't be injured......
The head-catcher just took advantage of the topic: "People have suffered internal injuries." I can't see it on the surface, but now I've gone to the government to sue you. If you're interested, come with us. As he spoke, he pulled the chain hard, causing Qinggu to stumble and almost fall.
Qinggu reached out and grabbed the chain locked around her neck, and asked in a mournful voice, "Official." This case. Will the official be sentenced heavily? ”
The head catcher looked at him coldly: "Then it depends on whether the crime you committed is serious, if it is serious, not only will you not be able to live." Your loved ones can't run away either. ”
He alluded to this case of the deep palace that alarmed the queen, but Qinggu only thought that Zhao Shusheng was seriously injured, and he was so frightened for a while. Not only can't he live, but even his relatives ...... Brother Rong! If the government sentences heavily, it will implicate Brother Rong. Brother Rong is not in good health, how can he go to prison? No way! I'm going to take him and run away!
In a panic, she instinctively grabbed the chain and pulled it hard, and the chain suddenly broke, and Qinggu was dumbfounded. Although she knew that her strength was getting stronger and stronger, she still looked at the broken iron chain in a daze when she saw that she could casually tear off the chain made of fine iron.
The head catcher's eyes immediately lit up: "Sure enough, it's a master!" Before the words fell, he had already drawn his knife out of the sheath, slashing head-on, between the fierce sword wind, the moves opened and closed, quite a lot of demeanor, it was definitely not an ordinary official who could play the knife technique.
Of course, Qinggu didn't have that smart vision, and for the first time in her life, she saw someone holding a shiny steel knife at her head. She just screamed in fright, hugged her head and fled, obviously panicked, but the bright and lightning knife shadow just couldn't keep up with her figure.
The head catcher slashed thirteen times in a row, and even the corners of her clothes were not touched, and she was excited to catch the clues, but also felt embarrassed, and shouted: "Let's go together!" ”
There was no need for him to give orders, and the other officials saw that the situation was not good, and they had already drawn their swords and besieged them. For a while, there were swords and swords outside the teahouse, and more than a dozen big men teamed up to besiege a village girl, who was carrying half an iron chain in her hand, and some of them were dodging around, while there were a few women who were chained by iron chains and had been frightened, crying and howling.
When Feng Changqing arrived, he saw such a scene that made him sweat on the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
Those guards pretending to be messengers who had been attacking Qinggu for a long time, and they were frightened to themselves, when they suddenly heard the voice of their boss behind them, and everyone felt that they had the backbone, so they quickly withdrew and retreated.
Qinggu didn't know how to rush out by taking advantage of the situation, and as soon as the others retreated, she was relieved and sat down on the ground. In fact, now her internal strength is extremely deep, and this level of group beating is not enough to make her tired, but she is too nervous, too frightened, and the situation in front of her has only eased slightly, and she feels tired to death.
Feng Changqing wiped his sweat, fortunately, he came in time, and these boys hadn't collided with Rong Xiang yet.
The chief guard who pretended to be the head catcher rushed to Feng Changqing and waited for the invitation: "The commander came just in time, the people in this teahouse are really weird." Look at ...... as a humble duty"
Feng Changqing interrupted the head of the guard with some anger: "Look at a fart!" The owner of the teahouse is my friend in the rivers and lakes, this is his sister-in-law, and she learned kung fu from her brother. Because she has never broken through the rivers and lakes for a day, she doesn't know how to fight. Otherwise, with your little ability, you would have been knocked down by her! If there is really a problem with the teahouse, then will I not become a collusion with the traitors? ”
Amitabha, God bless, don't blame him for letting his subordinates bully his apprentices!
The chief of the guard let out a cold sweat: "Commander." Genus...... Subordinate......"
He stammered here. Feng Changqing coldly reprimanded again: "When you want to do something unseemly, will you choose your own store as a place to connect with people?" You will only arrest people in a panic, but fortunately you are not really bad, otherwise I don't know how many unjust cases have been made in the people. ”
All the guards were there with their heads bowed and sweating profusely. They were also wronged, they were just here to hear the news, who knows
Shang Qinggu is such a person, how can you not doubt it?
Feng Changqing sighed: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Untie those girls, go as far as you can, go as far as you can! ”
As if they had been granted amnesty, they turned back to untie the chains of the other village girls. Then I was about to leave.
Feng Changqing snorted coldly again: "Stop!" ”
Everyone stopped and looked back.
"My friend loves purity, not publicity. After you go back, no one will talk much. Otherwise, I will not spare it! ”
He is the top boss of these people, who dares to be uninteresting when he says this. The chief of the guard hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, commander. Humble duty understands! Then he led the people to retreat quickly.
Feng Changqing walked up to Qinggu, who was still confused and frightened, and said with a smile: "Can the girl recognize me?" ”
Qinggu stared at him. Said softly: "I remember, when you used to open a tea shed, you accompanied a very kind son to drink tea, and later, you also came to my house to find Brother Rong." Brother Rong said that you are an official. ”
Feng Changqing said with a smile: "My subordinates made a mistake just now. I have cursed them away. Only, I might have to pay a visit to your big brother. ”
Qinggu asked in a low voice, "Does this matter have anything to do with Brother Rong?" ”
Feng Changqing smiled and nodded. According to Rong Xiang's temperament, since this matter is related to Yan Rin. Of course, it has to do with him.
Qinggu nodded, and immediately let go of all her panic. No matter how strange it was, it was related to Brother Rong, so she wouldn't be surprised. Brother Rong is an extraordinary person, so he will naturally encounter extraordinary things.
Feng Changqing said to the other village girls who were so frightened that they were still trembling on the ground: "I'm really sorry, my subordinates are not reliable, and they have frightened everyone." Trouble the girls to clean up this scene, tomorrow I will ask the government to send someone to send compensation money over, and then issue a notice here, explaining that today is just the official going to the wrong place to catch the wrong person, giving the girls a good reputation, and reassuring the tea customers who come and go, so that it will not affect everyone's business. ”
The eyes of the village girls were straight. Indemnify...... Apologize? When did the government talk so well? This official is a little too polite, isn't he? Oh, the leprosy ghost that this broom star takes care of actually knows such a big official......
Feng Changqing saw that everyone was in a daze, and coughed heavily. The village girls woke up like a dream, quickly stood up and respectfully said yes, and cleaned up the tables and chairs on the staggered ground.
Feng Changqing kindly begged Qinggu: "If it's convenient, I want to go and see the girl's brother first." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Today is sunny and Rong Qian is in a good mood.
Every sunny day is a kindness to him. The pain in all parts of the body will be much lighter than on a rainy day, and the hands and feet will be much more dexterous. It's a good time, of course, to seize every inch of time. So he threw his crutches and walked slowly along the fence of the courtyard, moving his hands and feet.
Practice more, and you can walk a few more steps later when you don't have crutches to support you.
His body shook again, and he hurriedly stretched out his only remaining hand and supported the wall in time to stabilize his body. He had only walked around the yard less than twice, and he was already sweating from exhaustion.
It's not that living like this is not bitter, but he's gradually getting used to it. At first, he was idle, and he loved to scold Yan Rin for a few words to get out of his heart, but later, he didn't even bother to scold. Anyway, these are his own choices, and to put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with others.
Moreover, in the midst of such pain and hardship, he felt that he was not without gain. Without this terrible body, we would not know how precious health is. Without all the inconveniences in front of you, it's hard to really appreciate how to cherish those seemingly ordinary moments.
Whether you can squat down and stand up without being helped, or you can carry half a bucket of water with your own hands...... These small things, which can be easily ignored, can bring people such pure happiness, and can even make him even happier than when he was in a high position in the past.
Simple people, simple things, simple pursuits, simple happiness. After 50 years of living with Qinggu in this way, what can't you do?
Just as he was thinking of Qinggu, he heard the familiar sound of footsteps outside the wall.
Rong Qian was slightly stunned, it was not time for the teahouse to close, why did Qinggu come back? And Qinggu's footsteps that are heavy and light, completely different from others due to congenital disabilities, are also accompanied by another footsteps that are extremely light and almost silent.
Rong Qian frowned. He doesn't like trouble, he doesn't like it very much.
"Brother Rong, a friend is looking for you." With the words, Qinggu and Feng Changqing walked in one after the other.
Rong Qian's gaze condensed slightly the moment he saw Feng Changqing. He didn't say a word, nodded to Feng Changqing, and then turned around and slowly walked to the living room.
Feng Changqing didn't speak, and quietly followed. In a state of mind that is almost endured and suffering, he does not speak, nor does he come forward to help. Following Rong Qian's extremely slow pace, he returned to the hall, gritted his teeth and followed the hall door, and when he returned his hand, he naturally closed the door.
Qinggu quietly stopped in the courtyard and did not follow again. Picked up a broom in the corner of the wall and began to clean her farm yard.
She is a responsible and gentle woman, she knows that in Brother Rong's other world, there are infinite wonderful, and there are also complexities that she can never understand. Therefore, she will not ask more and see more, but she still insists on coming back with Feng Changqing, because she wants Brother Rong to know that she is by his side and can be on call.
She's stupid, she doesn't know anything. However, if Brother Rong wants to write, she can sharpen the ink, and if Brother Rong has something to go out, with her to help him, his legs and feet are not too sharp, and he can always walk faster.
As long as she can help with a little help, it's fine. No matter how small it is, if you do it, it's better than not doing it well.
In the small hall, Rong Qian sat down calmly and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
