Chapter 33: The Crazy Bridegroom
"Brother Chu, let's go." At this moment, the door next to it also opened, and Ma Yong walked out.
This time, I went to find the catcher, and only the two of them went.
The female dependents came to the door, and some were not suitable.
Then Chu Zheng and Ma Yong walked through the guest hall and walked towards the road outside.
When they arrived at the road, Ma Yong led the way in front, and Chu Zheng followed behind.
At this time, it is the time of the meal, and all kinds of aromas, the smell of the meal on the street.
Desserts, buns, pancakes, sugar gourds, etc. are all available.
Chu Zheng was in a trance for a while, he didn't understand why there was so much difference between the outside of the city and the inside of the city just across this city wall.
"Here we are." At this moment, Ma Yong had already taken Chu Zheng to a private house.
In the private houses, there is the smell of food, and there is a faint sound of conversation.
Ma Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" After a while, a woman came up and opened the door.
"Sister-in-law." When Mayon saw the woman, he immediately cried out.
When she opened the door, she was stunned when she saw Ma Yong, and then there was excitement in her eyes, "Ma Yong, you are finally here!" We're all dying. Your cousin said he was going to look for you in the next two days. ”
After saying that, she grabbed Ma Yong and walked inside.
Chu Zheng followed behind Ma Yong and also entered the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Chu Zheng saw four catchers sitting on the table eating food, three of them were wearing ordinary green clothes, and one was wearing jujube red clothes.
This catcher in jujube red clothes was a middle-aged man with a slight beard, and when Chu Zheng and the two came in, he looked over.
Chu Zheng only felt that the other party's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and there was a momentum all over his body, which made him a little unable to look directly.
He recognized the meaning of the other party's clothes, which was a headcatcher.
The head catcher is probably equivalent to the captain level in the previous life.
After seeing the woman coming over with Ma Yong, a Tsing Yi catcher immediately stood up, walked in front of Ma Yong in a few steps, took Ma Yong's hand excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, you are finally here, are your uncle and aunt okay?" How are my younger siblings, Xiaoxiang, and Niuniu? ”
Ma Yong's eyes were slightly red, "My wife and children are fine, but my parents died on the way here some time ago because of their frailty and illness." ”
Hearing him say this, Ma Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's all to blame for that Zhang that dog thief, if he hadn't rebelled, why did he come here!" This guy let him die under the knife, it's all cheap for him! ”
When the others heard this, they all showed the same looks.
Zhang Cao is the mastermind of this rebellion, two months ago, he suddenly led people to kill officials and rebelled, and recruited troops and horses with the grain in the granary, burning and looting along the way.
The army grew in number and swept through several state capitals.
Hundreds of people have been displaced.
Chu Zheng's family, that's it.
"You haven't eaten yet, let's sit down first, let's eat together, and this one is?" Ma Hengyuan pulled Ma Yong and looked at Chu Zheng at the same time.
Ma Yong saw Ma Hengyuan looking at Chu Zheng, and hurriedly introduced, "This is a friend who fled with me, named Chu Zheng, if it weren't for him, my family would have frozen to death two days ago." ”
Then, he talked about the details of Chu Zheng's help.
Hearing his words, everyone in the audience was a little surprised.
This Chu Zheng didn't look like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and Ma Yong was already in his twenties, and they thought that Ma Yong took care of this young man, so they brought the other party over.
Unexpectedly, the truth was different from what they thought, and the party who was taken care of turned out to be Ma Yong, who was seven or eight years older than this young man.
This made everyone have a strong interest in Chu Zheng, a young man.
After taking a seat, Chu Zheng was attracted by the dish in front of him.
During this time, he ate some wolf jerky and pastry, but it was really delicious that he didn't eat anything at all.
And the dish in front of me, there are two meat dishes alone, one is a dog meat pot full of chili peppers, and the other is a deboned meat fried with green and red chili peppers.
In addition, there is egg soup and several vegetarian dishes.
This kind of dish was also an excellent home-cooked dish in a previous life.
This time's meal, it is estimated that Ma Hengyuan specially entertained the meal prepared by the head catcher.
"Yi Niang, you go get two pairs of chopsticks." Ma Hengyuan commanded the woman.
The woman nodded, and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
"Brother Chu, eat as you like, you help my cousin so much, don't treat yourself as an outsider." Ma Hengyuan sat down and said to Chu Zheng with a smile.
"yes, okay." Chu Zheng nodded.
At this time, Yi Niang also came over with dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of Chu Zheng and Ma Yong.
Then, Ma Hengyuan and others talked to Ma Yong about the details of this incident.
When everyone heard this, they were silent.
During this period, Ma Yong also introduced several catchers.
The head catcher is named Xu Rong, who is the head catcher in the southern district of Qamdo Prefecture, and the other two catchers, one is called Yan Fang and the other is called Zhu Dingwu.
"Cousin, I came here this time, I still have something to ask you for, Brother Chu and I want to rent a house in Qamdo Mansion." After talking about things, Ma Yong also said the intention of this time.
"Of course, I'll accompany you to find a house today." Hearing his words, Ma Hengyuan immediately responded.
But at this time, Yan Fang next to him pushed Ma Hengyuan and said speechlessly: "Hengyuan, have you forgotten that we still have something to do today?" This matter has been specially ordered by the Acquaintance. ”
Hearing his words, Ma Hengyuan's face stiffened slightly, then scratched his head, looked at Ma Yong, and said a little embarrassed: "Cousin, I still have something to do today, can I do it another day?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, now we live in the inn and we don't have any problems for some time in the evening." Ma Yong hurriedly said.
Ma Hengyuan showed an apologetic look and gave Ma Yong a glass of wine.
The wine table was heated up again for a while.
"Hey, if you say this, it's bad luck." On the side, Zhu Dingwu sighed, "What the hell do you say is going on with this groom official, after entering the cave room, he went crazy and committed suicide by jumping into the river at night." The time also happened to collide with the homeless people entering the city.
The acquaintance asked us to close this case early in the morning. Otherwise, we will be punished. ”
"It's too evil." Yan Fang on the side sighed, then paused, and said, "The parents of the groom official said that the groom official has a good personality on weekdays, and it is impossible to commit suicide." ”
"Indeed, if his body had not been found, I would not have believed it."
"Let's investigate this case well, let's investigate it well, don't complain so much." Xu Rong frowned and said.
On the side, Chu Zheng used chopsticks to put the spicy dog meat in his mouth, and suddenly his mouth was numb, and the fragrance and spicy flavor bloomed on his tongue, and there was a sense of endless aftertaste.
