Chapter 140: Recognition

"According to Xiaoyou, you suffered a life-and-death catastrophe and then escaped from prison." Old Man Tai sat on the chair and squeezed the crutches in his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at Zhang Yuan, "Little Lao'er, I am not an unreasonable person, you saved Tai Meng, I naturally want to treat you as guests." It should be so, but after all, my little grange has limited ability, and I dare not stay with you for long. Therefore, I can only ask Xiaoyou to take your people to find another place to settle down, and as for Taimeng, I will stay in my village. ”

Zhang Yuan raised his head and stared at the eyes of the old man Tai, and the old man returned with a pair of eyes mercilessly. The two confronted each other for more than ten seconds, and Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his head and laughed, this smile made the old man Tai and the people around him laugh, and the old man hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyou, what are you laughing at?" ”

What am I laughing at? What can I laugh at, how can I laugh when you're blocking the road for me? But I can't convince you now, so I can only smile here and pretend, eh, just pretend.

Since it is pretending, then it is necessary to pretend to be a fan, Zhang Yuan stood up and laughed wildly and said: "I laugh at your old man for many years in vain, I only know that there are people in the world who live in vain, but I don't know that there are people who rise to the challenge!" I laugh at your old man's safe corner, only to sit and guard this field to save the life of the family, I don't know that in the face of real danger, your small manor is nothing. ”

, what am I talking about? After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he stood there, and the smile on his face couldn't stop. Although I felt that I was about to die of embarrassment in my heart, this embarrassment could not be expressed, after all, I had to pretend in front of my three younger brothers.

Old Man Tai was really aroused by Zhang Yuan's words, he looked at Zhang Yuan's face, and said with the same smile: "Can you solve my doubts for Xiao Lao'er, tell me, what is this danger that my whole family cannot be spared?" ”

How do I know what? Zhang Yuan scolded secretly in his heart, he had just overdressed, and now he had grasped the key issue for this old man.

"Under Kitcher's law, if a criminal is abetted, the person who harbors the offender is to be considered an accomplice to the offender, and the crime of harboring is added to the same crime. Tae-mon was convicted of fleeing the battlefield and served three years in prison as a slave according to the law, but now he will be punished by one degree for his escape from prison, and if he harbors Tae-mon, he will be punished by one more degree and sixth-degree crime. A voice suddenly said in Zhang Yuan's ear.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Although he didn't know who said this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly agreed, and at the same time turned his head to see who was speaking.

"Little friend, right for what?" Old Man Tai looked at Zhang Yuan blankly, and Tai Meng also looked confused, as if they hadn't heard a voice talking just now.

At this time, the voice just now sounded in Zhang Yuan's ears again: "Don't look at it, it's me, I'm talking to you with the Star Trick, and you repeat to them what I just told you." ”

Zhang Yuan glanced back at Shen Ying, who was expressionless and didn't show any flaws, but Zhang Yuan knew that only this guy could silently release the Star Technique to help him.

"I mean, Mr. Tai is so right that I retract my previous inappropriate assessment. But what's so hard about you? My answer is that it's far away. Zhang Yuan said and pointed at Tai Meng.

"Far away, close at hand." Old Man Tai muttered, his eyes also followed Zhang Yuan's hand to look at Tai Meng.

Tai Meng also opened his mouth, looking an idiot, at this time Zhang Yuan nodded his finger at him, and then said: "Kitcher implements a crime hierarchy system, Tai Meng is a deserter, he is punished for a fourth-degree crime, and according to the law, he should work as a slave for three years. But now that Tai Meng has escaped from prison, the crime is added to the first degree; If you always harbor Tai Meng, you will be an accomplice of Tai Meng, and on the basis of Tai Meng's crime, you will be added to the crime of harboring by one degree, that is, the sixth degree crime. As for the situation of these six sins, you should know better than me. ”

When the old man heard Zhang Yuan's words like a series of cannons, he was a little speechless: "This, six, six, and other crimes ......."

"Sixth-degree crimes, according to the laws of Gicher, can be chosen to spend twenty years in prison or fifteen years in slave labor. Of course, there are other options besides these two articles, such as giving up a limb for a first-degree crime, or appointing a relative to serve the sentence together, but I don't think you will choose these old ones. Zhang Yuan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, pulling the old man Tai one by one, he had long been familiar with the provisions of these laws, after all, the first scene he woke up after crossing was the prison, which was also considered to be bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Old man Tai naturally refused to admit defeat easily, and he immediately retorted: "But Taimeng may not necessarily be discovered, as long as he is not discovered, there will be no such thing as this." If you dare to report Tai Meng, you will only be guilty of one degree less, and you will be guilty of escaping, and I don't believe you will report it. ”

"Then you can't guarantee that we won't be caught when we leave this grange. And to tell you the truth, I didn't go through the proper procedure before I went in, but someone tried to kill me. I add and subtract, but I am still innocent. You said I ran to report it, isn't it just right? Zhang Yuan said jokingly.

This made the old man Tai angry, he threw his cane to the ground, stood up and said angrily: "Are you threatening me? Hmph, I can keep you out of here today! ”

"Eh, don't get excited, you're so old, don't be angry. How dare I threaten you, I mean, there are some things that you can't hide from just trying to hide. So, we can't always try to avoid problems, we have to find a way to solve them, and the best way to get rid of fear is to face it. In fact, he is not talented, and he happens to know a soldier general in Jinguan City, and his status is not low, so it is more than enough to find a position for Tai Meng. You said that if Tai Meng returned to the barracks, then he could still be considered a deserter, as long as he didn't say it himself, if you didn't say it, I wouldn't say it, who knows? ”

Zhang Yuan knew that he had the initiative, and he began to speak in a set manner, which really frightened the old man Tai. But in fact, what the real situation is, Zhang Yuan himself is still clear, he just knows the armor general named Tuo Biang, although the other party did say that he was welcome to go to the workshop, but there is no guarantee that he will still count now. And even if it is counted, it is unknown whether it can help Taimeng operate into it. It's just that Zhang Yuan can't control the future now, and it's true to pass the current old man Tai first.

"Hey, what you said, Xiaoyou, is it true?" Old Man Tai looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes in disbelief, wanting to see the clue from it. However, Zhang Yuan did not evade it at all, and looked at the old man again, but this time the look in the eyes of the two was completely different from last time.

"It's true, and there is no half-truth!"

"Good, good, good!" Old man Tai said three good words in a row, suddenly threw away his crutches, bent his knees and knelt directly in front of Zhang Yuan, "Little old man, I have no eyes, and I ask my benefactor to accept my worship!" If the benefactor can really help the dog survive this catastrophe, let alone live here for a while, even if the little old man gives all this grange, he is willing! ”

Where did Zhang Yuan dare to accept such a big gift from the old man Tai, he still knew how many catties and taels he had, and the moment the old man Tai knelt down, he quickly knelt down. When the old man said halfway, he wanted to kowtow to Zhang Yuan again, but Zhang Yuan was so frightened that he immediately held the old man's body with both hands, and he didn't dare to let go at all. Today, if he receives the great gift of the old man, he will have to be killed by the thunder when he goes out.

"Alas, I don't dare to accept your worship, you should always get up first, or I won't dare to stand up. We're just kneeling, but we can't solve anything. Besides, Tai Meng and I don't have any kindness, he is willing to call me the boss, then his business is my business, and you don't have to take this to heart. Zhang Yuan began to admire his acting skills as he spoke, this is Liu Bei will give him a thumbs up in his next life.

Old man Tai looked at Zhang Yuan, sighed for a while, stood up from the ground, Tai Meng hurriedly walked over from the side to help the old man, Zhang Yuan also waited for the old man to get up, and he also stood up.

After Tai Meng helped the old man Tai to the chair and sat down, the old man said: "Benefactor, little old man, I have offended a lot before, and I hope that the benefactor can forgive." ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just human nature, if it were me, I'm afraid it would be too much, after all, you didn't know my affairs at the beginning." So, it's all my fault, not yours, and I haven't begged you to forgive me, so how dare you ask me to forgive me? ”

"Benefactor ......"

"Don't don't, don't call me a benefactor anymore, or continue to call me Xiaoyou, or call me Zhang Yuan. If you call me a benefactor again, I really have to leave this grange. ”

Old Man Tai nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Okay, okay, I won't call, I won't call." Little friend, you can stay here these days, if you have any orders, I will do my best, little old man. ”

"Okay, thank you for taking it in, then I'm going to disturb you during this time." Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Old Man Tai.

"Don't bother, don't bother." Old Man Tai also stood up and invited Zhang Yuan to dine with him. It just so happened that Zhang Yuan and the others only ate some black bread on the road, and they were already hungry at this time, and when they heard that they were eating, they immediately came to their senses. The group moved to the dining room, the food was already prepared on the table, it seems that the old man Tai still made two preparations, if he and the others failed to pass the test of the old man, the poor little belly would have nothing to do with this table full of food.

The four of them stood in the doorway and smelled the aroma wafting over, swallowing their saliva in unison, their eyes hooked by the food on the table. Old Man Tai didn't laugh at a few people, and hurriedly invited them to sit down and enjoy. However, the three younger brothers are all the same, and after sitting down, they all looked at Zhang Yuan, and they had to wait for Zhang Yuan to do it first before they started eating.

Zhang Yuan took a breath, to be honest, he still wanted to be a little reserved, but now depending on the situation, he had to eat first. Before eating, Zhang Yuan still came to speak before the meal, he hugged his fist at the old man Tai, and said, "Thank you for the hospitality." ”

After saying that, Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the tableware and start cooking, while the other people couldn't wait for a long time, desperately stuffing things into their mouths like starving ghosts reincarnated.

I have to say that Zhang Yuan should really thank Mr. Tai, you must know that the first nobleman he met in this world, the meeting gift is just a fruit.
