Between the north and south districts of Yangwu County, a single-hole large stone bridge more than 20 meters long is erected on the boundary river, which is called "Wohong Bridge", which means "long bridge and lying wave".

As a white servant, Chu Fan doesn't have to go to the yamen every day like a formal catcher, and he is happy.

The southern district is bustling and there are many shops, and he often goes to visit.

In addition to purchasing some household necessities, the main purpose is to familiarize yourself with this strange ancient world. After a period of time in the market, the sense of alienation and estrangement at the beginning has been significantly reduced.

On the afternoon of this day, standing on the Wohong Bridge, I saw a small group of people gathered at the bend of a street thirty zhang away along the riverside in front of the southern district, and a middle-aged short man was entangled with a big man. Coincidentally, when I first arrived in Yangwu, I walked with the little girl and saw the unlucky businessman and the white servant Niu Ding who were set up in a remote alley to "jump the immortals".

Niu Ding spread his five fingers, hit the businessman's nosebleed, and shouted: "Yan Yi, do you want to let it go or not?"

The merchant had blood and tears on his face, and he hugged Niu Ding's thigh and cried:

"Niu Baigong, Zhang Rui was brought by you. If you don't recover Wan'er today, I won't let go of you even if I die, and I can't get around you as a ghost. ”

There were a few people next to him pulling and shouting:

"You birdman is crazy, you have to find Zhang Rui to ask for someone, how can you entangle Brother Niu?"

That Yan Yi howled and cried:

"You bastards are white servants, eating and taking cards all day long, and leading people to rob my family Wan'er and my shop. If I don't get Wan'er back, I won't let go if I die...... Woo, poor my Wan'er, just died. Dad is useless, he can't keep her thoughtful...... If I don't recover her today, I won't be alive, and I'll fight with you......"

Yan Yi lay on the ground, holding Niu Ding's legs, and those people couldn't pull them apart.

Niu Ding dragged him a few steps, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, he became anxious in his heart, and took out an iron ruler and scolded:

"Straight mother thief, if you want to be a ghost, is our family afraid? You are a son of the bullying family, and you deserve to be killed!"

A foot knocked down, and there was a muffled sound.

Yan Yi's back collapsed, his eyes turned black, and his arms were slack.

The four people on the side dragged their legs, pressed their arms and pressed their arms, and shouted to lift Yan Yi up and throw it under a crooked-necked willow tree by the river, crackling and a good punch.

The flow of people was hurried, but none of them dared to approach.

At this time, a white-robed scholar hurriedly approached and said:

"Big brothers, if you beat him like this, you will beat people to death. ”

Niu Ding kicked Yan Yi hard, without raising his head, and scolded: "Get out, I'm impatient...... Where did it come from?"

When I turned around and saw a white robe, I couldn't help but be stunned.

The rest of the people also quickly stopped, and looked at the white-robed scholar in unison.

You must know that although they are fierce and domineering in front of the common people, they have a lowly status. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. No matter how poor a scholar is, he doesn't have to kneel when he sees the lord of the government. If you have an opportunity, you may come to the stage at any time to pay respects. The so-called good wind relies on its strength to send me to the clouds.

"White servant Chu Fan. ”

The white-robed scholar smiled and clenched his fists.

As soon as they heard this, the faces of the five people opposite were wonderful.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Recently, the reputation of Bai Gong Chu Fan has really been thunderous in Yangwu County.

Since ancient times, rich people do not serve as slaves, and scholars do not serve as slaves. This Chu Fan is rich and studying, but he has become a white servant, which makes people scratch their scalps and can't figure it out.

The catastrophe of Yunmeng Country is coming, how many scholars escaped, and in the blink of an eye, they became guests of its country. This fool is good, he has given himself a white servant status, and it will be troublesome to be an official in the future.

Monstrous absurdity.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus.

Shi Meng's distant relative is indeed a talent, and his fist and foot kung fu are also very good, but his brain is not very good.

Of course, everyone wants to be close to him. Who doesn't like to spend a lot of money on gold and silver like running water? In the midst of a chaotic war, it is a miracle that this wonderful flower has survived so far.

However, although the white servants of the southern district and the white servants of the northern district are peers, they are opposed to each other and compete with each other. Coupled with the fact that the new county ordered Li Wen to set up only one head catcher to dominate the county, the open and secret struggle between the north and south gradually became white-hot.

Niu Ding looked Chu Fan up and down, pursed his lips and snorted coldly:

"You are in charge of the northern district, what are you doing in our southern district?"

Chu Fan smiled:

"King Li said that the earth does not distinguish between north and south, and people do not distinguish between east and west. The mirror on the hall hangs high, and the hall bows to the end. As public servants, of course, we must be anxious about what the people are anxious about and think about what the people think. Even if it is a prisoner, he has to be brought to the public court for interrogation and imprisoned, so how can he be lynched on the street without authorization......?

Niu Ding was stunned by his nonsense, and today's affairs were not neat, so he just wanted to get out as soon as possible, and said:

"This family has a son who bullies the master, and he deserves to be killed. ”

I want to leave.

Yan Yi was beaten dizzy, and saw a person who seemed to have a bit of identity, like a drowning man who grabbed a straw, threw himself at Chu Fan's feet and kowtowed, crying:

"The little Yan Yi has already escaped from slavery, and he is not a child. My daughter Yan Wan'er is not a family child, they took a few people to snatch her, and they also prevented me from chasing ......"

Where was Niu Ding willing to let Yan Yi make it clear in public, and raised the iron ruler again, thinking that it would be better to simply beat him so that he couldn't speak, so as not to shout grievances in the downtown area.

Chu Fan stepped forward to stop him and said:

"Let him finish his sentence......"

Niu Ding stiffened his neck, crooked his eyes, pointed at Chu Fan's nose menacingly, and said:

"Chu Baigong, don't think that with Shi Xiaozhu's head covered, you can run to our southern district and shout five and six. This one-third of an acre of land is not a place for you to stay. Annoyed by our family, your eyes recognize you as a scholar, but you don't recognize the iron ruler. ”

Chu Fan snorted and said:

"If you have something to say...... Regardless of the southern district or the northern district, aren't they still in Yangwu? As the saying goes, reason travels all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. Chu is a white servant, why can't he come?"

Niu Ding turned the iron ruler in his hand, glared and scolded:

"You don't play music here, and you sing with a wooden braincase - pretending. If you don't let us go, don't blame our family for being polite......"

When the other four white servants heard this, they all looked unkind.

Chu Fan sneered:

"If what Yan Yi said is true, you are equivalent to sitting back and watching the robbery of the people's girls in broad daylight, and you will be punished with a hundred rods if you don't save yourself when you see death; as an accomplice, the crime will be increased by one degree; as a public person, the crime will be increased by one degree. I think it's almost enough to cut off the head. If you don't stop, don't blame our family for being polite......"

More and more people gathered, five or six feet away, stretched their necks under the trees under the eaves and watched. But he didn't dare to approach, and he didn't dare to say no.

On the other side of the river, the sharp-eyed white servants of the North District saw that Chu Fan was surrounded by Niu Ding, and hurriedly ran to report the news.

Although the brawls between the white servants in the northern and southern districts are commonplace, Chu Fan's identity is special. Niu Ding bluffed, and he really didn't dare to fight, so he bypassed him to catch Yan Yi.

Only five bangs were heard, and the onlookers saw the figure of the white-robed scholar flickering, and then the five white servants flew up and hit the crooked-necked willow tree.

Niu Ding was knocked to pieces, his eyes were full of stars, he grabbed the iron ruler that fell to the ground and rushed up fiercely, but he was kicked back by Chu Fan mercilessly, and his body slid down softly against the trunk of the tree.

The other four white servants groaned and curled up under the tree, not daring to move.

Yan Yi was dumbfounded, and the onlookers were also dumbfounded.

If you don't agree with each other, you will fight, what is the situation?

I have never seen white servants beating people viciously, and those who are beaten often dare not fight back, and I have never seen white servants beaten. Today is an eye-opener, happy!

The scene was silent.

Where did Niu Ding suffer such a big loss, he didn't dare to fight, but he was embarrassed and didn't lose his battle, and shouted:

"You fight, you have a kind of fight again...... Dare to beat up a public servant? Hmph, go to the county government to strip you of your status as a white servant first, and then beat the board and squat in the class room......"

Chu Fan casually broke a willow branch, and it was a moment.

Syllable......

Niu Ding's left face immediately highlighted a red mark, and then bruised.

Syllable......

Again, Niu Ding's right face protruded a bruise, but it was very symmetrical.

As the saying goes, don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people, and don't slap people in the face.

Niu Ding was completely disgraced.

Chu Fan saw that he stopped talking in his mouth, leaned down and said with a smile:

"It's the first time I've heard such a fresh and refined request for so many years, and I was actually invited to call. Hehe, the action is not very proficient, more forgiving, more forgiving...... I don't know if you are satisfied with the two moments just now? You're welcome, we are all white servants in the trenches, and if there is a request, we will put it forward. ”

The other white servants were silent, and one of them boldly whispered down:

"Young Master Chu, there was no grievance in the past, and there is no hatred in the near future. You humiliated us today for no reason, and you were unreasonable......"

Chu Dashen Stick stretched his waist and said lazily:

"Spicy next door, shameless to face. Lao Tzu is reasoning with you, and you are playing hooligan with Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is a hooligan, and you have to reason with Lao Tzu again...... Hum. ”

After speaking, his eyes widened, he raised the willow branch, and shouted:

"The river is not deep, so I jumped in with Lao Tzu to cool it down. You are not allowed to go ashore before dark, do you hear that!"

The five white servants were forced to plop and jump into the boundary river, and when the autumn wind blew, they shivered from the cold. Seeing people on both sides of the strait pointing and pointing, their faces couldn't hold back, and they pretended to touch the fish when they had an idea.

Chu Fan drove people down the river in order to prevent them from immediately ventilating the news or looking for helpers to entangle, leaving himself a buffer time. After seeing the five people jumping down, he hurriedly pulled Yan Yi up and said, "I'll talk about other things later, first tell me how long your daughter has been kidnapped and in what direction." ”

The peaks and loops turn, and the desperate place survives. Yan Yi burst into tears and choked up:

"Thank you, thank you, your lord...... Cai, only a little more than a stick of incense, drove a carriage, to the south city gate. The little ones lead the way, and the little ones know where they're going. ”

Well, it's only been more than twenty minutes, so it's quite easy to catch up.

Chu Fan thought for a while, walked to the bridgehead and stopped the two carriages transporting groceries, showed the iron ruler and shouted: "White servant Chu Fan, requisition horses to chase the murderer." He turned around and asked Yan Yi, "Where is your shop?"

Yan Yi hurriedly said: "Gongchen Street Yanji South Store." ”

"Okay, in an hour you go to the Yanji South Store to pick up the horses. ”

Chu Fan couldn't help but say, drove down the two handlebars with bitter faces, and threw over two silver bills. The two men were reluctant, but then rejoiced.

Chu Fan and Yan Yi untied the horse and flew away.
