The shopkeeper brought the dishes and gave Liu Yanqing the table first. He put down the dishes, and when he got up again, he suddenly found that Liu Dalang, who was supposed to be sitting next to Liu Yanqing, was gone, and there was an extra Lin Xianggong. He got up and glanced at it, Liu Dalang had now gone to sit with others, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, "Wailang, it's over." ”

Liu Yanqing hummed, and the shopkeeper retreated. Liu Yanqing went to those who came out with him, in the end, they came out together, and they couldn't be wronged. It's just that no matter how he looks, the table over there is so tightly blocked that he can't see it at all. After trying a few times but not seeing it, Liu Yanqing simply stopped watching it and began to eat his own food.

Lin Xianggong looked at Liu Yanqing, there was a bowl in front of him now, and he didn't know if he could eat it. Liu Yanqing glanced to the side, and saw that Lin Xianggong didn't move his chopsticks at all, and he was still a little puzzled. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Xianggong. Lin Xianggong also looked at him, and the two of them stared at each other, not understanding what each other meant at all, and it didn't take a while.

Liu Yanqing spoke, "Don't you like it?" He asked, Lin Xianggong smiled and picked up the bowl, "No, Xianggong hasn't moved his chopsticks yet." Liu Yanqing sighed, "It's not where it is now, so you don't need to call me like this in private." Lin Xianggong didn't say anything more now, and the two of them were eating. During this period, Lin Xianggong wanted to talk to Liu Yanqing many times, but Liu Yanqing ignored him.

Finally waited until the meal was finished, Liu Yanqing stood up and prepared to find a place to sleep. Lin Xianggong hurriedly stopped him, "This, didn't they all say in advance that they would live with me first." Liu Yanqing also didn't expect that he would come for real. But he really has no way to refuse now, even if he pretends to be stupid, he can't pretend to be stupid, "That's okay, it's troublesome, lead the way." ”

Lin Xianggong hurriedly said that he would not be troublesome or troublesome, and took Liu Yanqing and others back to his house after speaking. When he arrived at the door, Lin Xianggong opened the door directly and brought Liu Yanqing into the house. Lin Xianggong's home is not very proud. But compared to the other houses here, it can still be called rich. However, Lin Xianggong never cared much about this, but hoped that someone would come here often.

Along the way, Liu Yanqing has seen more people than he has seen at home. Is this how much money is over? Liu Yanqing thought to himself, Lin Xianggong gestured twice with his hand in front of Liu Yanqing's eyes. Liu Yanqing came back to his senses, and Lin Xianggong explained to him what he had just done, "Oh, that, it's here." Liu Yanqing looked at the house in front of him and nodded, "Thank you in advance."

"Harm, trivial, no problem." After speaking, he began to regret what he just said, some people don't like to be interjected, in case Liu Yanqing is also such a person. He opened the door with some weakness, and when he looked at Liu Yanqing's face again, he was relieved to find that Liu Yanqing's face did not show great anger, "Let's see how it is." ”

Liu Yanqing nodded, and did not say anything dissatisfied, so there would be nothing to do with Lin Xianggong. "In that case, I'll go back first. If there's something to do, just look for me. Liu Yanqing said goodbye to him and watched Lin Xianggong go back. After Lin Xianggong left, Liu Dalang walked next to Liu Yanqing, "Ah Lang, what's the situation, who is he, do you know us?" ”

Liu Yanqing shook his head and entered the door. Liu Dalang walked into the house and closed the door. I picked a few random places and leaned on the wall to listen. It wasn't until I was sure that no one was outside that I dared to continue the topic just now. "Isn't it stupid to bring us to his house if you don't know?" Liu Yanqing glanced at him, "If people hear this, you will be stupid." ”

Liu Dalang was a little puzzled, walked up to Liu Yanqing and sat down, "This is not a normal thing. Liu Yanqing didn't know how to explain this matter at this time, so he could only keep quiet. Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Dalang chased after him and asked, "Then he is a good man?" Liu Yanqing didn't speak, and Liu Dalang couldn't guess why this was going to burn his head.

Liu Yanqing sighed and explained, "It's not a matter of making friends with good men, nor is it a matter of knowing or not knowing." He just wants to get acquainted with some powerful people, it's just that you and I are coming in a carriage. Liu Dalang nodded a little incomprehensibly, and when he saw that he was stunned again, Liu Yanqing had no choice but to explain more clearly, "What should he be here, it should be Lizheng." ”

"Lizheng? What is it? Liu Dalang asked again, and Liu Yanqing was stunned instantly, "You don't know?" Liu Dalang nodded very honestly and said, Liu Yanqing sighed, "Li Zheng is, landlord." Responsible for collecting taxes and other things, so to speak, for the imperial court. Liu Dalang sighed, "Then why is it a landlord, it can't be someone else or someone else." ”

"Because the landlord has the right, it is not safe to change to someone else." Liu Yanqing explained, "Okay, don't think about these things anymore, you are watching at the door tonight, I'm afraid something will happen." Liu Dalang nodded, and reacted instantly, "Ah Lang didn't say it, he is the landlord, why do you still let me go to the door, if you don't look at it, what else can happen?" ”

"If you look at it, you will watch, where did so much nonsense come from. I don't even want to go out now, you just have to watch. After speaking, Liu Yanqing went to roast the fire. Liu Dalang had no choice but to follow him and roast the fire together. "Eh, don't say it, this thing, it's really good when it's baked." Liu Dalang smirked, Liu Yanqing sighed helplessly, and added two pieces of firewood.

Lin Xianggong laughed when he entered the door, and the woman hurriedly went up to untie his clothes. "The official is so happy that something has happened." The woman asked, and Lin Xianggong took her hand, "I'll tell you, this person is not simple. He said it very mysteriously, of course, the woman was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "The official said that, and he said it the same way last time."

"Eh, last time he didn't understand me and said I was messing around. But this one, that's really good. Lin Xianggong said, and gave Liu Yanqing a thumbs up. The woman laughed too, "That's right." Lin Xianggong didn't hide it from her, "Of course, when I had dinner with him just now, I understood what kind of person he was, and I told you, just for a while, I know." ”

"I can see it, absolutely." After Lin Xianggong finished speaking, he suddenly took the clothes from the woman's hand again, "Eh, that, lady, I'm going to talk to Xianggong about it." The woman wondered, didn't they all send people to them, what else to say? But before she could ask, Lin Xianggong had already gone out with her clothes, and the woman's hand stopped in mid-air, and she had no choice but to put it down.

Lin Xianggong walked quickly to the door of Liu Yanqing's room, and Liu Dalang, who was cooking in the house, suddenly raised his head. Liu Yanqing looked at him, and Liu Dalang listened carefully, "Ah Lang, someone wants to come in." Liu Yanqing stood up and walked to the door. At this time, Lin Xianggong had already walked to the door, he raised his hand and knocked on Liu Yanqing's door, "That, Xianggong is busy now?" ”

He asked, Liu Yanqing glanced at Liu Dalang, Liu Dalang walked to the door and opened the door. Lin Xianggong walked in, "Ah, that, I see that it's just right outside, let's go out together." Liu Yanqing looked out the door, it was obviously almost dark, if he had to say that it was good, if he went out at this time, it would only be cold, "What do you want to say to me, just come in and say, don't go out." ”

Lin Xianggong thought for a while, well, it's cold now after all. He walked in the door, and Liu Dalang closed the door. Lin Xianggong looked at Liu Yanqing and didn't say a word. Liu Yanqing thought that he cared about something, looked left and right, and didn't think that anything could stop him from talking. "That, Xianggong, are you going to tell him out." Lin Xianggong looked at Liu Dalang at the door.

Liu Yanqing looked at Liu Dalang, and Liu Dalang knew that what they were going to say was something he couldn't hear. So he walked out the door, and before leaving, he was still thinking about what kind of thing could make him avoid. In order to be safe, Lin Xianggong also deliberately opened the door to look. Seeing Liu Dalang standing at the door, he also told him to stay away and not to eavesdrop at the door.

As soon as he said this, Liu Dalang became even more curious. However, for Liu Yanqing's sake, he still held back his curiosity. Lin Xianggong closed the door, turned around and walked in front of Liu Yanqing, "I don't know where Xianggong is," Liu Yanqing immediately understood, "I'm in the capital, what are you going to say?" Lin Xianggong smiled, "That's the case, I don't know how to know, it's the verdict." ”

When Liu Yanqing heard these two words, he almost thought that he had heard them wrong. In this place, he is just a lizheng at most, how can he still do this thing. However, Lin Xianggong didn't care about Liu Yanqing's expression, because he had already asked more than one person this question. The expressions of each of them are exactly the same as Liu Yanqing, and they can't be surprised.

He went on to say, "I'm not before. Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door. The man opened the door and said that there was a woman knocking at the door, and that she was carrying a child. Liu Yanqing couldn't believe it even more, he not only dared to think about this person, but also dared to do it. Lin Xianggong had the opportunity to see his performance, "That, Xianggong don't want to go with me to take a look." ”

Liu Yanqing agreed, he wanted to see how this person judged the case. After arriving at the destination, Liu Yanqing still felt that he was dreaming. He always knew that only the county order had the right, and it could only deal with the sentence below. He's here now, and he doesn't think much about it. Lin Xianggong walked up to Liu Yanqing and wanted to invite him to a seat, but Liu Yanqing refused.

Since this is the case, Lin Xianggong is not good to say anything. asked Liu Yanqing to find a seat to sit down, and he sat in the middle. From the beginning to the time the woman played, all the processes were too clear, which made Liu Yanqing begin to doubt his identity. The woman knelt on her knees, and pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground, "Xianggong wants to be the master of the slave family, and he wants to be the master of the slave family." ”

Lin Xiang said fairly, "If you have any grievances, just say it." The woman began to talk about herself, "The slave family was originally going to marry Zhao Erlang as his wife, but somehow, the Zhao family replaced him with Zhao Dalang. After that night, there was the daughter of the slave family. However, the Zhao family said that the slave family was not angry, and they were beaten and scolded all day long, and it was nothing for the slave family to suffer a little by themselves. ”

"The key is the baby, now that it is getting bigger and bigger, the Zhao family put their hands on the baby again." As she spoke, she simply pulled up her child's arm and rolled up the sleeves of her clothes. On both arms, the bruises and purples were all beaten by someone. Liu Yanqing frowned, Lin Xianggong thought he was going to say something, so he waited a little longer, but Liu Yanqing didn't open his mouth as he thought.

He had to solve the problem himself, "Then do you know who is this beater?" Lin Xianggong asked, and the woman nodded, "I know, of course I know, it's Wata's father, Zhao Dalang." Lin Xianggong slapped the table angrily, "Nonsense, since you said that Zhao Dalang is the child's father, why can you give such a heavy hand." The woman seemed to be frightened and quickly shook her head.

Seeing that the trial could no longer be continued, Liu Yanqing reluctantly reminded, "Why don't you bring that Zhao Dalang over first, and then talk about anything else." After Liu Yanqing's reminder, Lin Xianggong suddenly realized that he hurriedly asked someone to bring Zhao Dalang over. He called several people to look for it, and after that, the woman asked Liu Yanqing why she brought Zhao Dalang over, Liu Yanqing stared at her coldly and said.

"If we are condemned by one-sided words, then what are we going to do? If what you say is true, then it makes sense that he will call the shots for you. If you are wrong, then you can only be invited to go to prison. Liu Yanqing explained that the woman buried her head and didn't speak. Liu Yanqing also deliberately glanced at her expression, there was nothing abnormal, so he was relieved, "Just wait." ”

This scene made Lin Xianggong worship Liu Yanqing more and more. It didn't take long for Zhao Dalang to be brought, accompanied by Zhao Dalang and his family. There are more than a dozen of them, which looks quite a lot. Liu Yanqing propped his head and stared at them without squinting. Zhao Dalang is a frequent visitor to Lin Xianggong, so he is not afraid at all. However, others don't think so.

Because this time, next to Lin Xianggong, there was a strange man sitting. They all know who Lin Xianggong is. The person sitting next to him now may be a big official. "Zhao Dalang, when your wife said that you were married, you entered the cave room on behalf of your younger brother. After that, he punched and kicked her, and the child still doesn't let go, do you recognize these things? ”

"No, Xianggong, you can't talk nonsense. What is a generation, my lady has no other skills, just a little, love to talk about old things. At that time, it was clear that it was me who married her, but she didn't believe it. I always like to ask others. The ugliness of the family is not publicized, and she pretends not to know about the things I know. Often embarrassed by our family outside, have we said anything? ”

After Zhao Dalang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the woman again, "Did you say I said anything?" The woman didn't speak, and Zhao Dalang raised her voice again, "Talking to you, have I told you anything?" Speak! The woman was startled and hurriedly shook her head, "No, no." Liu Yanqing squinted, this Zhao Dalang, how do you feel, the shelf is bigger than him, so he really won't be beaten?

"Look, she said no. There is also the fact that the baby is not skinny. I don't know how many times I was beaten by my parents when I was a child, but it's not okay now. As soon as Zhao Dalang said this, Lin Xianggong didn't know how to interrogate him. He turned his head to look at Liu Yanqing, Liu Yanqing didn't react, he had to follow his own, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and solve it myself." ”

Liu Yanqing stood up instantly when he heard this, that's all? That's it? He turned his head to look at Lin Xianggong, who was sitting in the middle. Lin Xianggong also looked at him, didn't he know what it meant? Lin Xianggong mistakenly thought it was something else and let everyone go. Liu Yanqing wanted to call people back, but now he has no power at all, and he is very unwilling.

Especially when I saw Zhao Dalang's eyes when he was leaving, it was called a lack of fighting. "You just let them go like this", Liu Yanqing asked, Lin Xianggong hummed, "It's already like this, don't let him go back." This person often comes, every time he comes, he calls so many people, and he knows a lot, no matter how many he calls, he basically knows everything, and there is no way for you to retry it. ”

"How dare you ask if this matter is solved like this?" Liu Yanqing asked again, and Lin Xianggong told him that this matter was really solved. Well, there's no turning point for the better. Liu Yanqing said goodbye to Lin Xiang, and went out to his house. Liu Dalang heard the voice and hurriedly ran to Liu Yanqing, "How about Ah Lang, what is the matter with you?" ”

He asked, Liu Yan glanced at him and went back to the house. Liu Dalang didn't understand, why did this suddenly blow up. Thinking about it, he also followed Liu Yanqing into the door. asked again, but Liu Yanqing still didn't say anything to him. "Do you think someone is eavesdropping outside?" Liu Dalang guessed. Looking at Liu Yanqing's expression, that's it, I'm afraid that people will hear it.

He leaned on the wall again and listened a few times, confirmed that there was no one outside, and then returned to Liu Yanqing and sat down, "Ah Lang, you say that there is no one outside." Liu Yanqing told him what happened just now, "You also heard it, someone came to shout grievances." I thought he was some kind of official. Unexpectedly, it's just nonsense. You didn't go just now, if you did, you would naturally know the word shameless. ”

Liu Yanqing said and sighed again. "It's a pity that I'm now. Do you know where the prefectural order is here, and send someone to the prefectural magistrate tomorrow. Just told him that Zhao Dalang beat and scolded his wife and daughter all the year round and did a lot of evil. If he asks who let him come, you say it's me. Liu Dalang let out a long sigh, but spoke again, "Ah Lang, how do I feel about this matter, I don't care." ”

"What do you mean? You know how arrogant Zhao Dalang is, in a few years, I'm afraid that even the housekeeper won't take it seriously. Liu Yanqing muttered, Liu Dalang scratched his head, "If you really beat and scold your wife and daughter, there is no other matter, and the county order will not care." It's not a human life, there is a saying that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it is estimated that he doesn't want to care about this matter when he hears it. ”
