Chapter 9: First Rage and then Blackmail
How can a rural landlord fight against a young man who has been beaten by later generations? Chao Gai got up suddenly, and rushed out of the pavilion with an arrow step and scolded.
"You old. Seeing the banquet, Lao Tzu invited you to come because he wanted to talk to you. Don't rely on the old and sell the old here, or get out of the way. What are you you, shaking your uncle, Parkinson's disease? Look in the mirror and see your virtue, slander Lao Tzu, where did you get the guts......"
Chao covered his mouth full of swearing, like a machine gun, kept spraying, spittle flying, and as he spoke, he rolled his arms and rolled up his sleeves and was ready to step forward to fight.
How can the old man beat it? was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and several entourages behind him hurriedly came up to persuade him, and an old man dressed as a housekeeper kept saying good things. Praise Chao Baozheng for not being impulsive, and Hugh is angry.
Everyone looked at this Chao Baozheng with a strange look, and he scolded people with a clever tongue, which was so powerful that he could break it than those shrews.
Chao Gai didn't really want to beat the old man, and pointed at his nose and scolded: "You are the Baozheng of Xixi Village, an official of the imperial court." dared to collude with thieves to rob homes and houses. said, is Yuncheng Ma Owner Bo implicated in this matter? Did he act as an umbrella to cause the frequent haunting of thieves in the county? ”
"Ah......, Chao Gai, ...... the erection" Mrs. Ma screamed angrily, pointing at Chao Gai speechless, jumping to her feet again and again, ignoring decency like a scoundrel in the market. It's like being poked in the sore spot.
"Old things, the Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other......"
"Hey, Baozheng, Baozheng......" Chao Gai wanted to continue splashing some dirty water but was interrupted by a shout. Turning his head, he saw a large group of messengers leading the way to the guard. The big man at the head smiled and greeted him from afar.
This life is burly and tall, with a purple skin and a fan-ring beard. Especially those two legs, which are much thicker than ordinary people.
Lei Heng? Chao Gai's eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and he can see the appearance of the visitor clearly and hear the greeting and affection. Suddenly, I thought of the infantry head of Yuncheng County. It's just a little confused, the letter that went to report in the morning will arrive in the afternoon!
How did the officials come so quickly?
"Thunder Head? You're coming so fast! Doubts are doubts, but Chao Gai greeted him with a smile. In the original trajectory, Lei Heng's strength was amazing, he was good at jumping high and short, and he could jump over the stream two or three zhang wide, so he was nicknamed "Winged Tiger".
was originally born in Yuncheng and learned a good martial arts. The personality is a little irritable.,Love to be greedy and cheap.。 Other than that, there are no other drawbacks! In addition, this person is a famous dutiful son! There are delicious foods and drinks to bring to the old lady. For the sake of the old lady, she used a wooden flail to kill Bai Xiuying at once.
Chao Gai is familiar with Lei Heng's various deeds, and has been friends with this capital for many years. Lei Heng didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly trotted forward to salute. They came to the pavilion hand in hand, and the accompanying officers were naturally entertained.
During the conversation, Lei Heng also explained the reason why he came so quickly.
It turned out that he was ordered to lead the messengers to patrol outside the city to prevent the looting of strongmen. happened to meet the fast horse who went to the county seat to report the good news. After learning that Chaofu was attacked by a group of strongmen, he immediately led the team to support.
It's really early, it's better to be in time!
Chao Gai temporarily decided to give this brother a credit to win people's hearts. talked and laughed with Lei Heng, when he passed by Mrs. Ma and others.
Lei Du took half a step back and looked up and down to recognize it, and said with a smile: "Yo, this isn't..., isn't it Ma Baozheng from Xixi Village?" Do you always come to watch strongmen? It's time to study hard and take precautions in the future. ”
Beware of your ancestors! Lei Heng's words almost didn't make Mrs. Ma angry. An old face turned from red to white to black, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Looking at Chao Gai, Lei crossed into the pavilion and stomped his feet, and hurriedly followed.
He understands that if his son is confirmed to be a robber, the Ma family will also be destroyed!
The wine banquet in the pavilion had already been prepared, and it was supposed to be a banquet for Mrs. Ma to talk about things. His face was the color of pork liver, and he was trembling, and he couldn't seem to eat it.
"Brother Lei Heng, today I will be the east, eat a few more cups."
"Hahaha...... Baozheng invited, the little brother dares to disobey his fate."
……
Chao Gai, Lei Heng divided the guests and hosts to sit down, since someone came up to sift the wine and scald the wine, the two talked and laughed, ready to eat three glasses and then talk about business.
That's when someone came uninvited! Mrs. Ma angrily rushed into the pavilion and shouted: "Ah, Chao Baozheng, what do you want? ”
Lei Heng was so frightened that his hands trembled and the wine splashed on his body, and his purple face suddenly turned blue. threw down the wine bowl and scolded angrily: "You old man, you don't know anything, and you will ...... with a stick."
"Hey, brother, sit down." Chao Gai grabbed Lei Heng, who was about to stretch out his hand: "You also know about the haunting, the foolish brother said a few words to this guy." ”
Lei Hengyuan opened his strange eyes, and scolded while eating and drinking: "Phew, Om is broken!" ”
He was the one who handled the haunting of Xixi Village back then, so he naturally understood the festival of the two families. I hate the despicability of the Ma family in my heart, and there was no lack of ridicule outside before, but now when it comes to friends, there is naturally no good face.
"Ma Taigong, be a man and accumulate some virtue, otherwise you will go to hell." Chao Gai got up with a smile and looked directly at the fat old man: "You know all the ugly things your son has done over the years, so if you eat people, then do some personnel!" ”
Mrs. Ma's fat face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and it is not a fool to become a rich man in Xixi Village. understands that Chao Gai has words in his words, and he knows it in his own heart. Hou Ming, the leader of the bandits in Dayun Mountain, was his distant nephew, who came from Hebei. Funded by him, I wanted to send food to win over as an external response.
Unexpectedly, this happened a few days after his son went. If it is rumored that the Ma family will be in great trouble, and even his own brother will be implicated. This matter must not be admitted, otherwise it will be a catastrophe.
Yes, absolutely not admitted!
Mrs. Ma quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and pointed at Chao Gai and hit a rake: "Chao Baozheng, what is your intention in taking my son away in private?" Even if you usually bully men and women, there is the government to take care of it, and it is not your turn to meddle with a mouse. If the lawsuit goes to the yamen, it is also your rude provocation......"
"Enough!" Chao Gai sneered a few times, interrupting the old man's aggressiveness with a broken shout, and his laughter was full of sarcasm: "Old man Ma, don't pretend here." A lot of strongmen confessed that it was the Ma family, are you really fooling Chao? Dare to ask Lei Dutou, what is the crime of leading the strongman to rob the people? ”
"Kill!" Lei Heng is a little irritable but not stupid, and he has a number of questions and answers when he hears them. looked at Mrs. Ma coldly: "If the Ma family colludes with the strongman, they will be beheaded and paraded in the streets for three days!" The county magistrate must get to the bottom of it. If you are a strong man yourself, it is seriously difficult to raid your family and exterminate your family. ”
You... You ......" Mrs. Ma laughed angrily, tremblingly pointing at the two of them and wanting to say that they were embarrassed. But in the end, you couldn't say it for a long time. Not to mention the dirty things that his son has done, he has lost his conscience by forcibly buying and selling land over the years, and if he really wants to investigate, it will be all over.
If you really want to be more serious, he can't afford to play with the Ma family!
The old man was worried about his son, and he was worried that this guy would use the topic to play and involve the second brother. Look at Chao Gai's hateful teeth with a knife hidden in his smile, but he is a little puzzled. Why has this guy become so cunning and has a city?
Old man Ma was angry and frightened and didn't speak, and the old servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Chao Baozheng, don't do it too much, what do you say?" ”
"What should I do?" Chao Gai smiled, and then sat down and picked up his wine glass: "A group of robbers attacked Chao's Zhuangzi and was frustrated, and Lei Hengdu led the team to come to help in time, and defeated the strongman under the attack on both sides. killed dozens of people, captured more than 30 outlaws alive, and accidentally rescued the kidnapped Ma Jia's second young man. ”
Lei Heng raised his eyebrows when he listened, and subconsciously straightened his body. I only think that Chao Gai is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is more able to break nonsense than those literati. It would be a great achievement to report such a record of the war report.
Mrs. Ma has a different feeling! How do you look at Chao Gai, how does it feel strange. From time to time, the cold light that came out of his eyes only felt cold sweat oozing from his back. A cool breath only rushed up to the Tianling cover on the soles of his feet.
He felt that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, and the top priority was to rescue his son first. Gritted his teeth and sighed: "Chao Gai, tell me about your conditions!" ”
"Refreshing!" Chao Gai didn't bother to speak, and stretched out three fingers: "First, more than 100 guards in my house were injured, and many were seriously injured and bedridden. Thou hast been generous and righteous, and thou shalt compensate you three thousand taels of silver. In order to replenish the nutrition of the wounded, 100 head of livestock, 500 chickens and ducks. ”
Flutter! When Lei Heng heard this, the wine that had just reached his mouth squirted out directly. Who doesn't know the name of Ma Dahu Iron Rooster, and he is generous and righteous.
"Second, the deeds of the fields forcibly occupied by your old Ma family over the years will be notarized and sent to my house. Third, your Lao Ma family stepped down from the position of Baozheng, and gave Lao Tzu a point in the future. Regarding these three conditions, the Ma family dissociated themselves from this matter. ”
Chao Gai finished speaking in one breath, drank all the wine in the cup and smashed his mouth. He has the initiative, to put it bluntly, this is blackmail, and it is also fair and honest blackmail!
