Chapter 39: Bullying Honest People
At sunset, Jiang Liunian entered the city and saw Zhao Qingsong, who had been waiting for a long time, he stepped off the carriage and horse, and performed a scholarly etiquette to Zhao Qingsong respectfully.
Zhao Qingsong was dressed in a green shirt, and his long hair was restrained by an earthy gray cloth belt.
Jiang Liunian was stunned for a while, and in a trance, the figure of the person in front of him overlapped with Mr. Tsing Yi in his memory, as if he was still the frustrated scholar in Liangdu.
"Jiang Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Zhao Qingsong chuckled and asked, "Are there any bumps on the road to the capital?" ”
"Mr. Zhao, don't come unharmed."
Jiang Liunian's attitude towards Zhao Qingsong was very respectful, and he replied with a smile: "The journey was smooth, and there were no bumps." ”
Zhao Qingsong turned around and motioned for Jiang Liunian to follow, and said in an old tone: "Your Majesty asked me to take you around the capital to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”
Zhao Qingsong took his hand behind him, and his voice was scattered: "Your father sent you to the capital to study, and you will be a student of Guozijian from today, and you can report to Guozijian tomorrow." ”
Jiang Liunian: "I know, Mr. Zhao. ”
Zhao Qingsong turned his head and glanced at Jiang Liunian with a slightly indifferent expression: "I don't know if you have read your father's letter or someone in the Jiang family has told you that your father specially named you to study under my door." ”
Jiang Liunian obediently followed behind Zhao Qingsong, changed his tone and shouted respectfully: "Teacher Zhao." ”
"Well," Zhao Qingsong nodded with satisfaction, "There is only one disciple of you in my sect now, I don't have many rules, you just need to remember a few important ones." ”
Jiang Liunian: "Sir, please speak." ”
Zhao Qingsong: "First of all, you have to remember that the security in the capital is very good, there are not so many good things, and there are not so many accidents that heroes can meet with you." ”
"Hooligans!"
Jiang Liunian turned his head and saw a lewd man pulling the girl's hand, "Little girl, no one will come to save you if you cut your throat, come and have fun with your brother, hahahaha!" ”
"Teacher Zhao, ...... over there," Jiang Liunian trembled and pointed to that end.
Zhao Qingsong's face was impermanent, "There are not so many opportunities for you to pick up chivalry." ”
"Bandits!"
Jiang Liunian saw a muscular man threatening a vendor with his fist.
"Hurry up and hand over all the money, otherwise you will be good-looking!"
"Teacher Zhao! Someone over there ......" Jiang Liunian looked at Zhao Qingsong uneasily.
Zhao Qingsong turned a blind eye, "As for the cheats and treasures, it is even more impossible to come across them, those are only enjoyed by the children of destiny." ”
A thief broke out of the window: "Hahahaha, finally let me get the peerless cheats!" Hahaha! ”
"Teacher Zhao, ...... you" Jiang Liunian twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhao Qingsong.
Zhao Qingsong stopped, the afterglow of the sunset happened to fall, a wisp of breeze blew, and the green shirt fluttered.
"Studying is a long road, a scholar should have the appearance of a scholar, when you come to the capital, you have to be a man in peace, and if you have time to meddle in things, it is better to read a few more sage books."
Zhao Qingsong's advice made Jiang Liunian stunned for a moment, but when he looked back at the chaotic streets behind him, he couldn't help but feel deep doubts in his heart about what Zhao Qingsong said, "The security in the capital is very good".
……
The moon rises in the east mountains.
On the first night he came to the capital, Jiang Liunian was so worried that he couldn't sleep on his side.
After a long night of unintentional sleep, the two strands were faintly itchy and uncomfortable, and after hesitating for a long time, Jiang Liunian got up and got out of bed, changed into a night clothes, and went out.
Walking through the dark alleys, Jiang Liunian walked to the street where Zhao Qingsong told him the rules today.
Recalling Zhao Qingsong's serious nonsense, Jiang Liunian shook his head.
Originally, Zhao Qingsong was a tall teacher in his heart, but now he ...... The image collapsed like a mountain.
Retreating into the alley, Jiang Liunian was ready to return the same way, and now he went to the Qinglou and estimated that he didn't even have a room.
"Don't ...... Don't~"
A strange shout sounded in the night, and Jiang Liunian keenly captured it.
'Who's over there?' Following the sound to a wall, Jiang Liunian listened silently.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, let me go......" The woman's cry was intermittent.
Jiang Liunian's complexion changed for a moment, and he suddenly flew up to the wall without causing a strange sound.
Under the bright moonlight, the woman's face was resistant, and her small hands gently pushed the man in front of her.
The man looked obscene, ignored the woman's resistance, and even became more and more excited, forcibly locked the woman and pushed her against the corner, and walked around the woman with his hands improperly.
Jiang Liunian squinted, and he seemed to have seen the appearance of a lewd man somewhere.
It's a hooligan who molested the folk girl this afternoon!
"Oh, whore, let go of that girl!"
Jiang Liunian was furious, jumped off the wall, and then stepped forward with a sharp stride, and slammed the knife into the lewd man's neck.
Before the lewd man could react, his eyes rolled and he fainted, and the woman froze in place, stunned.
Jiang Liunian showed a smile that he thought was kind: "Don't be afraid, girl, the thief has been knocked out by me." ”
"You...... You ......"
"Needless to say, people are in the rivers and lakes, chivalrous and courageous, the road is uneven, draw a knife to help."
Before Jiang Liunian could say anything, he saw the woman squatting down in a panic to help up the obscene man who had fainted.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, what's wrong with you?"
The woman glared at Jiang Liunian with angry eyes, and scolded: "You person, how can you be a bad person and a good person!" ”
'What the hell? Jiang Liunian was stunned.
"Girl, you're wrong, I saved you with kindness, why are you scolding me again?"
The girl's face turned red, angry and ashamed: "You are so blind, the old lady doesn't need you to save me!" ”
“???”
Jiang Liunian's face was full of question marks, looking at the woman holding the lewd man with an anxious and worried face, and carefully recalling the picture of Fang Cai, he suddenly found some details.
Although the woman is pushing the man, but the action is gentle and wants to refuse to give up, then it is resistance, it is obviously flirting!
The man's hand roamed over the woman's body, but the woman didn't stop it, and even thought the other party was slow, so she reached out and lifted her skirt......
What kind of little couple are in pursuit of excitement?
Jiang Liunian's face was strange and he couldn't laugh angrily.
Damn, sloppy.
"Brother Jie, wake up, how can I live without you," the woman couldn't cry silently, and grabbed Jiang Liunian's thigh, "You return my Brother Jie!" ”
Jiang Liunian's face was embarrassed, and after dropping a piece of silver, he pulled out his leg that was deep in the valley, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away.
Escaping from the alley, Jiang Liunian wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help complaining: "People in the city really know how to play." ”
"Young man is very skilled."
"Who?" There was a cold laugh behind him, and Jiang Liunian's palm subconsciously grabbed his waist.
He followed the voice, and the man in the night had eyes like torches and a big smile on his face.
Jiang Liunian looked vigilant: "Who are you?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am," the man stared at Jiang Liunian up and down with burning eyes, and said in surprise: "Young man, I see that your bones are amazing, you are talented, you are a rare martial arts wizard, and you will become a great weapon in the future." ”
"Stick?" Jiang Liunian took half a step back, looked disdainful, turned around and left.
"Hey, young man, don't go!" The man hurriedly caught up with Jiang Liunian and followed him like a leper dog.
Jiang Liunian turned his head impatiently.
"Wow, it's amazing, it's amazing, Shaoxia, you have a spiritual light spewing out from the heavenly spirit cover! You know, at a young age, you have a body of horizontal training muscles and bones, and you are a martial arts wizard who you have seen once in a century, if one day you are allowed to open up the second vein of Rendu, you will not fly to the sky! ”
Jiang Liunian looked at him like an idiot, and he wanted to say, "Stupid, master, I have long been invincible." ”
But held back.
The magic stick performance is very hard, and he is not good at disturbing people, so he just enjoys a clown performance.
Shen Stick took out the book and stuffed it to Jiang Liunian: "I have a copy of "Eighteen Styles of Silver Spear Destroying Flowers and Breaking Arrays", which is a priceless treasure, you have a relationship with me, and ten taels of silver bought you." ”
Jiang Liunian watched with a bewildered look as the god stick forcibly stuffed the book into his arms, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night, leaving only one sentence echoing in the night: "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell...... Police evil and punish traitors, and the responsibility of maintaining justice and peace will be handed over to you, young man!"
"Neurotic?"
Jiang Liunian's face was expressionless, looking at the worn-out books in his hand, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly checked whether the money bag was still there, and turned his trouser pocket upside down, no.
"Gan!"
That's more than ten taels of silver!
Jiang Liu stomped his feet on the spot, and wanted to go out for a walk, but he got into a commotion.
……
Early in the morning, Jiang Liunian went to Guozijian to report.
Most of the people who studied in the Guozijian were relatives of the emperor, and the children of the powerful families in the court and the central government were occasionally sent into it.
Jiang Liunian is a martial artist, and it is difficult for him to integrate into the circle of a group of weak chicken scholars.
Mr. Teach's lecture was very boring, and he stayed honestly all morning, and Jiang Liunian couldn't sit still in the afternoon.
It wasn't Zhao Qingsong who gave a lecture, so he was directly warped.
After leaving the Guozijian, Jiang Liunian wandered around the city, and the ghost made the god slip to that street again.
Looking at the familiar street in front of him, thinking of last night's troubles, and then being careless, he was picked up by that magic stick and his money bag, and a resentment rose in Jiang Liunian's heart.
"Don't let me meet again!" Jiang Liunian scolded and pinched, "Otherwise, you will feel good!" ”
"Uncle Simon, you are giving me a few days of grace, I really don't have any money on hand now."
"I've given you a day, if you can't get the money today, don't blame me for being rude!"
There was a sudden commotion ahead, and Jiang Liunian recognized the two protagonists at a glance, who were yesterday's vendors and muscular men.
Just wanted to step forward to stop it, Jiang Liunian suddenly remembered what happened last night, calmed down, and decided to observe first.
The muscular man holds the vendor's collar and rests his huge fist next to the vendor's head.
The vendor's face was bitter, "Uncle Ximen, I really can't take out so much money." ”
"Can't get the money?"
The muscular man looked cruel and walked to the street carrying the vendor: "Then let Lao Tzu do coolies, when you make enough money, when will you let you go!" ”
The vendor was shocked: "Don't, Uncle Simon, I don't want to die!" ”
Seeing that the vendor was about to be arrested, the pedestrians around him seemed to be used to it and turned a blind eye.
Although Jiang Liunian felt abnormal, he couldn't help but step forward to stop the merchant when he saw that the vendor was sobbing and sobbing as if he would die if he was taken away.
"This brother, he has begged so hard, why do you bother him?"
The muscular man looked back at Jiang Liunian and saw that the other party was brightly dressed, and he should be a child of a rich family.
His face was unhappy: "Where did Leng Touqing come from?" ”
When the vendor saw Jiang Liunian, as if he saw a life-saving straw, he suddenly broke free of the muscular man, and crawled to Jiang Liunian's side and hugged his thighs.
"Young man, help!"
The familiar and unfamiliar position made Jiang Liunian feel bad subconsciously, and wanted to kick away the vendors, but many passers-by suddenly surrounded him.
"Yo, someone has come forward for King Raippy again?"
"Hehe, it looks like a flute-headed green."
"Hey, it's not good to pity anyone, to pity King Laipi."
There was a lot of talk in the crowd.
"You kid, you want to stand up for him?"
The muscular man looked at the vendor holding Jiang Liunian's thigh with disdain, as if he was looking at garbage.
Jiang Liunian realized that something was wrong, but there were more and more onlookers, and he couldn't kick the vendors away, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This brother, I don't think power is used to bully the weak." ”
"I bullied him?"
The muscular man laughed, broke his mouth, and said, "He owes me fifty taels of silver, which has been overdue for half a year, and he hasn't paid it back yet!" ”
As if feeling that his words were unfounded, the muscular man took out the IOU from his sleeve and pointed to the black and red fingerprints on it to show Jiang Liunian: "My family is in a hurry to use the money, but he has been shirking and refusing to pay back, who do you think is bullying whom?" ”
Jiang Liunian was speechless and looked down at the vendors.
The vendor looked apologetic, "It's not that I don't pay it back, I really can't take out so much money!" ”
"You fart, where do you buy tea if you don't have money!?"
"That's a purchase, and when the goods are sold out, I will naturally pay you back."
"You said the same thing half a year ago!"
“……”
"I won't let him pay back the money now, but he has to go and work as a coolie for me," the muscular man looked at Jiang Liunian with a gloomy face, "When will you earn enough money to pay off your debts, when will you let him go!" ”
The merchant hugged Jiang Liunian and said in a panic: "Young man save me, there will be dead people in that place!" ”
Jiang Liunian was in a dilemma, thought about it, and thought of a note that would have the best of both worlds.
He looked down at the vendor and said, "Why don't you sell me your tea so that you have the money to pay off your debts." ”
The vendor's cry stopped, and he raised his head to look at Jiang Liunian as if he were looking at a savior.
The muscular man was stunned, looked at Jiang Liunian, he touched his chin, and laughed: "This is good, it just so happens that I also dislike him for having yellow muscles and thin muscles." ”
Jiang Liunian: "How much tea do you have?" ”
The vendor wiped away his snot and tears, stood up and excitedly sold: "Counting the ones that were not sold the year before last, there are still one hundred and fifty catties left, all of which are good dragon wells, and the price on the market is three taels and one catty. ”
One or two pounds?
Jiang Liunian didn't know much about tea, but he subconsciously felt that how could such a precious tea be brought in by such a small trader.
However, the expectation in the eyes of the vendors was too bright, and it overwhelmed Jiang Liunian's suspicions for a while.
Jiang Liunian took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it to the vendor, "I'll give you the money first, and the tea will be delivered to this address." ”
"Thank you Shaoxia, thank you Shaoxia!"
Someone in the crowd was amazed: "This Laipi King, luck is always so good." ”
Someone kindly reminded: "Young man, remember to ask for a bill, be careful that King Lai Pi will not give you the goods after that!" ”
The muscular man glanced at Jiang Liunian, who was generous, and didn't say anything, just get the money.
……
It was another sunny day, Jiang Liunian got up early to practice boxing in the small courtyard, and was just about to leave for Guozijian to go through the motions, when there was a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Jiang Liunian went to open the door, and there were two black-clothed catchers standing outside the door.
"You are Jiang Liunian?"
"I am," Jiang Liunian looked confused, and before he could react, an arrest warrant was placed in front of him.
"Someone sues you for extortion, selling goods at low prices, come with us!"
“???”
