Chapter Seventy-Nine: No Merit
Feng'er was walking on the street when he was stopped by an old man who said that he had an injustice and wanted to borrow a sword.
The sword is a sharp weapon for killing, not an axe for chopping wood and a knife for chopping vegetables, so how can it be borrowed lightly? Not to mention that this is a rare sword.
The sword can't be borrowed, it's not said that people can't borrow, since the sword is carried at the waist, it's injustice.
Feng'er said: "I don't know if the old man has any grievances, who are you going to kill with a sword?"
The old man wiped his sweat. Said angrily:
"I'm going to Qingjun's side and kill Yan Song's old thief!"
This is a big matter, and several people suspected that they had heard it wrong, so they asked it again, and they still said it like this. Looking at the old man's appearance, it doesn't look like he has drunk too much wine, and it's hard to say whether his nerves are normal.
Not to mention that the old man wants to kill Yan Song, there are many people who want to kill Yan Song. Cabinet scholars, the first assistant of the imperial court, how can any person say that he can kill him? In these years, there are not too many medical conditions, and the old man is burned and confused.
Although Lao Hao scolded Yan Song, who was spurned by thousands of people, his speech was not so free, and if he was heard and sued by the official, he would inevitably be imprisoned.
Feng'er saw that there were no outsiders nearby, and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle, you have spoken carefully, the capital is so far away from here, the old man is not an official or a eunuch, what is the enmity with that Yan Song?"
The old man said: "The old man's surname is Zhen Wang, and he gave birth to a girl who is 16 years old. Jia Laicai, the magistrate of Fenghe County, is an official who spends money and donates money, relying on the Yan father and son, and the people of fish and meat are powerful and blessed, and he calls himself Yan Song's protΓ©gΓ©. In order to please Yan Shifan, the son of the Yan thief, Najia Laicai searched for beauties in the county in the name of choosing a maidservant, and dedicated them to Yan Shifan on a certain day. What kind of character is Yan Shifan, you should have heard of it, the only prostitute in the world! Just yesterday, a group of officials came to my house and forcibly took the little girl away. The old man shouted every day, shouted that the ground was not spiritual, and he had no choice but to find Jia Laicai and work hard. The old man is a cultivator, in addition to the hoe is a plow and rake at home, there is no weapon to deal with the yacha, see the little brother with a long sword on his waist, it is better to sell it to the old man, I will kill the dog official, rescue the little girl, and eliminate the harm for the people of the county. If the old man succeeds, he will enter Beijing again to kill Yan Song's old thief and eliminate the harm for the whole world. The little brother said a price, and the old man did not hesitate to go bankrupt. β
Feng'er gritted her teeth when she heard it.
Ah Niu shouted, "Is there no royal law?"
The old man sighed: "Now the royal law is in the hands of the strict thief. β
Ziwei said: "If Father Qing is not dead, it will be difficult to end. β
Ah Niu asked, "We don't care about this matter?" Kill Jia Laicai and rescue Miss Zhen." β
Feng'er said to the old man: "Don't worry, let's all think of a way, Xiaohuazi's long sword can't be sold, and it won't be used to lend it to you." However, we can help you rescue the girl, and killing Jia Laicai is a bit unworkable. After all, the people do not fight with the officials, and our meager strength is not enough to get rid of the strict thief, I believe that he will not be rampant for long, and he will have the end he deserves. β
The old man's face was full of surprise and said:
"What the little brother said is true?
Feng'er stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and said:
"Uncle, I can't help it! β
Ah Niu said: "Uncle, don't be so vulgar, hurry up and tell me where the county government is and how far it is!"
The old man hurriedly said: "The county government is twenty miles away from here, and the old man goes home and calls his close relatives, and everyone goes together." β
Feng'er said: "No, there are many people who are suspected of rebellion, and they have no experience in fighting, so they attract people's attention, just a few of us just go lightly and wait for the opportunity to rescue the girls." β
The old man looked Feng'er up and down for a while, and said suspiciously:
"Little brother, don't be reckless, there are more than 20 officials in the county government, and you can't play with children. The old man himself went to life and death, let's go together, in case of a miss, I'm afraid it will affect the little brother, the old man can't bear it!"
Ah Niu said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, don't say it's a small county office, even if you break into the barracks!"
When the old man heard Ah Niu say this, he was even more suspicious that Xiaohuazi was bragging, and said:
"The little brothers just follow the old man, if there is danger, I will block it, the little brothers are flexible. β
Feng'er smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, I promise that no one can hurt your fur, let's leave now." β
The old man didn't want to say anything more, and said in his mouth: It's hard work! Take the lead.
The journey is not too close, let's talk about it on the way. When the old man listened to their experience along the way, he admired Xiaohuazi from the bottom of his heart, felt ashamed of underestimating them, and secretly rejoiced that his daughter was saved.
In a blink of an eye, near the county seat, I heard the sound of firecrackers from time to time. Suddenly, a few girls ran towards him. When the old man looked up, he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise.
The old man shouted: "Little buddy, look, my daughter has been released!"
Feng'er and they were taken aback when they heard this, thinking that the old man must have looked away from the girl, and was about to persuade them, when they suddenly heard a girl walking towards the old man.
"Dad, why are you here?"
The old man said: "Dad invited a few little brothers to come to rescue you, I don't want you to come back by yourself, what happened? Could it be that the dog official's conscience found out and let you go?"
The girl said: "I don't know what's going on, I said that I would send ten of us girls to Beijing tomorrow morning, but I didn't know that I would let us go today." β
The old man asked, "You didn't suffer any accidents in the county office, did you?"
The girl said, "No." Just managed a few meals, and somehow let us go. β
The old man said, "Okay! God opens his eyes, Buddha blesses!"
Feng'er saw that they had father and daughter together, and said, "Uncle, since the girl is back, you can take her home, there is no need to find the dog officer to fight hard." β
The old man said: "Thank you for your righteousness! The old man is the east, please come to the city for a few drinks!"
Feng'er resigned and said: "The old man has received the little flower, and it is useless, so it is better to do two things." β
Several people were pulling and pushing, and an old man with a sheep came from the city. Seeing that Zhen Laohan made a gesture and said:
"Isn't this Brother Zhen Xian? I haven't seen you for a long time, come with me for a drink or two to catch up on the old days. β
Zhen Laohan fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the elder brother of the Guo family, you are not in the countryside, why did you enter the city?
The old man said: "Today I went into the city and bought a lamb to feed at home, and there was a big event in the city because of the cannons. β
Zhen Laohan hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?"
The old man smiled and said, "A big event that the world celebrates!"
