Chapter 6 My life is up to me
Chapter 6: My fate is up to me
On the way back, I don't know how much more relaxed the atmosphere was than when I came, and of course, the people were also a lot more relaxed. When I came, the heavy salt bags that I pushed on my shoulders turned into silver and the flower cloth and pork bought in the town, and more importantly, even if I met the poor people of the Inspection Department now, they could confidently deny that they were smuggler salt dealers, have you ever seen a salt dealer who didn't bring a grain of salt?
Yu Feng was afraid that these people were not tight, so he repeatedly explained that except for the people closest to him, he would never tell outsiders about today's events, in fact, he was just thinking too much, this selling of illicit salt is a head-killing business, and he can not care about anything else, doesn't his head care? Even if he doesn't say it, presumably these people will keep their mouths shut, and no one will deliberately get along with their own heads. Of course, it is indispensable that everyone agreed, after accumulating some salt goods, they would come on such a trip, knowing that it was so easy to make money, and let those poor people in the inspection department take advantage of them for so many years.
When I went back, it was late, but everyone was hot, but I didn't feel it, but I felt that the night wind in the mountains blew very cool, and I couldn't wait to immediately put on my wings, fly back home, and tell my mother-in-law or mother the good news.
Zhao Gui saw Yu Feng's embarrassed appearance, shouted, and pressed Yu Feng on his wheelbarrow in a daze, pushing him to go fast, Yu Feng was a little sweaty in his heart, but when he saw Zhao Gui as a matter of course, he didn't shirk it, and then shirked, the friendship established on this day would inevitably become different.
"Mr. Yu, are you coming next month!?" A young man next to Zhao Gui said with a smile.
"Of course, of course, if you don't dislike me for being a burden!" Yu Feng smiled, he didn't feel that he was an indispensable figure, with this first time, next time, these men can obviously come by themselves.
He didn't realize one thing, at the beginning, when he asked Zhao Deng and Zhao Lai to summon these people, there was a scope, these people were all relatives of the Zhao family or close friends with the Zhao family on weekdays, that is to say, in the hearts of these people, they didn't regard him, the uncle of the Zhao family, as an outsider at all, perhaps, they still felt that they were proud to be able to do this with Master Xiucai.
In the final analysis, he didn't realize at all that it was his identity as a showman, in the eyes of these illiterate military households, he was already a very remarkable character, everyone has a herd mentality, with such a personal leader, they feel a lot more down-to-earth in their hearts, and they also take it for granted, if there is a different person to take the lead, such as Zhao Gui or something, there may not be this kind of thought, even better, this person is still his own person, who is not close to him.
Everyone was talking and laughing, only to see a bend in front of them, the grass was in a hurry, and six or seven people came out, and the leader held a black iron ruler and shouted: "The inspection department is arresting illegal salt, who is in front, stop and investigate!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and a few people at the back of the line ran to the grass on both sides.
Yu Feng stood up and shouted, "What's the panic, do we have salt?!" ”
Those few people who took a startled step suddenly woke up, yes, they are in their own group, but they don't have a grain of salt, no matter how vicious these salts are on the other side, they can't talk nonsense with their eyes open.
The clothes worn by these six or seven people were much neater and newer than those of their group, some wore felt hats, some wrapped their heads in cloth, and held a single knife and an iron ruler in their hands. Watching these salts who came to catch the smuggled salt getting closer and closer, Yu Feng could even see the excited and distorted expressions on their faces, it seemed that they really thought they had caught a big fish.
These salt dings are all rogue ruffians gathered by patrols, relying on the power of the patrol to run rampant in the township, and the black lights are ambushed here, not that they intend to do so, but the Chen San, who is the leader today, is really unlucky, gambling with his colleagues, losing a lot, anyway, it's okay to be idle, it's better to come out and slip around, maybe you can catch a few fat sheep, and make up for the loss of bad luck.
When he arrived, Chen San was surprised to find that this group of people were looking at him calmly, and at this time, the torches in the hands of his two accomplices behind him were also lit, and Chen San was a little disappointed when he saw the empty wheelbarrow.
"Who are you, gathering outside in the middle of the night!" This is a bit heavy, gathering crowds at that time, compared to selling illicit salt, the guilt is not much lighter, this is also Chen San's trick, anyway, no matter what, it will always put on a big hat for you, if you want to get out easily, I'm sorry, use silver to speak, he Chen Sanye only knows silver in his eyes.
"This official is just a student who bought some application things from Lingshan Town with a servant and returned home, how can he gather the crowd to say!" Yu Feng is not afraid of this, if he wants to say that he is afraid, he is a little afraid that these few salts will indiscriminately raise their weapons and move, although he doesn't know what the skills of these people around him are, but, according to his estimate, a few flat poles will definitely not be able to do steel knives and iron rulers.
Only then did Chen San notice that the person who spoke, although he was wearing a short shirt, had red lips and white teeth, and spoke elegantly, but he didn't look like a rough person at all, and the other party also claimed to be a student.
This student is not called indiscriminately, if you have no fame, dare to be a student before and after the student, you see that others kick you and don't kick you, even if you are sealed in front of you a few times and make trouble in the yamen, the county lord will have to applaud.
"Who are you?" Chen San asked a little puzzled, but his tone was not as vicious as it had been.
"Student Lingshan County Student Yu Feng!" Yu Feng talked eloquently.
“......”! Chen San was speechless for a while, if his brain hadn't entered the water, he would rather bully a hundred poor military households than easily find trouble with a talented talent. Unless he plans to rob all the dozen or so people in front of him and then kill them. Since this Xiucai said that he was carrying a servant, it seems useless to buckle this big hat, in case, these mud legs are really his tenants.
The Ming Dynasty was noble and martial, and the scholars were grouped, like a hornet's nest, no one wanted to poke something if there was nothing to do. Seeing that the other party is just a showman, who knows if he has a classmate and where the teacher is noble?
"Lu Yin, take a look!" He was a little unwilling.
"Third brother, don't lead people with merit when they go out?" Someone in the back whispered to remind him.
"I don't know if he tricked me!" Chen San said angrily, this kid can't let himself get off the stage, could it be that he rushed out with people so vigorously, just let go of the way in such a gray way, when did the inspection department come out to do something, and I have eaten such a suffocation.
"It's true that Lu Yin doesn't, but the students can't fake it!" As Yu Feng spoke, he grabbed a handful of the loose silver in his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the other party's hand quietly, "Several officials have worked tirelessly and are loyal to their ministry, this student is also very admirable, if you have the opportunity to meet the inspection master in the future, you will definitely not forget to say a few good words for you!" ”
Ah, with silver, with silver, it's fine! Chen San grinned and weighed the silver in his hand, the weight was not light, and this young talent, although he said politely, but those servants behind him, with horizontal eyebrows, there were quite a few strong characters among them, and they seemed to be a little difficult to mess with. Chen Sandi was born as a scoundrel, and he is the most powerful in observing words and feelings, but now people have given enough face, and if he is interested in finding faults, that is, he doesn't know what to do, of course, if the other party has no identity, he will find fault with himself, but, at all, this is a scholar, maybe one day, someone becomes an official, and the account is settled after the autumn, then it is not beautiful.
"Let's go! The world is not peaceful, so it's better to walk less at night in the future! Chen San waved his hand and got out of the way. Yu Feng made a gesture towards Chen San, took his group, and calmly disappeared into the night.
Faintly, I could still hear the voices of the salters behind me.
"Third brother, how much is given, take it out and divide it among the brothers!"
"Give a fart, Lao Tzu respects scholars the most in his life, anyone can sell smuggled salt, readers will never be, don't turn it, there is really no ....."
Listening to the voice behind him gradually disappearing, Zhao Gui and Zhao Deng glanced at each other, and Zhao Deng spoke: "Mr. Yu, let's sit in the car, it's dark, be careful of your feet!" ”
"yes, yes! Brother-in-law, thanks to you just now, otherwise, things would have gone bad! Zhao Deng's heart is straightforward.
"What's bad, even if it's to catch illegal salt, you have to prove it, by the way, if we come and meet these guys, what will you do?" Yu Feng smiled, a mouthful of white that was a little dazzling in the night.
"What else can I do, run away, I don't want the salt goods, after these salt dogs get the salt goods, they generally won't chase after them!" Zhao Gui said, obviously, he had heard of such a thing more than once or twice.
"What if you can't escape?"
"Unlucky, even if you confess here, if you are lucky, you will be caught in prison, and your family will use money to ransom you, but that family will be finished, these salt dogs, if you don't squeeze out the last bit of oil and water in your family, you will never stop.
"Oh!" Yu Feng nodded silently, and didn't say anything, but his heart was full of emotion, thirteen people, seeing five or six people on the other side, the first reaction, or normal reaction, was to flee, and besides, knowing that after escaping, it would be such a serious consequence, what about their blood?
This is not good, if there is such a deal, and there is a next time, maybe it is when you come with salt goods, if you encounter these salts, when the time comes, the chicken and the eggs will not be said, will you have to fold yourself and burden Xue Niang? Yu Feng was secretly ruthless in his heart, this kind of fate in the hands of others is simply too uncomfortable, I, Yu Feng, since I have traveled to this era, I am definitely not here to let the mermaid flesh, my own destiny, I must control it myself.
"My life is up to me, not to man!"
