Chapter 21: The Great Change in Taozhen (4)
Zhang Hui's smart and alert are never worse than Chen Lin, after Mo Changlin told him about it, he couldn't help but look bitter at first, and secretly said that it was not good, and after thinking for a while, he returned home and told Zhang's father about Meng Yi's mother being forced to jump into the well.
Zhang Hui's father is also an honest person in Tao Town, usually for the villagers to build farm tools and ironware never charge a little more money, this time I met the official to Tao Town to rob, his own family also made a lot of money, originally for Zhang Hui to ask for a daughter-in-law in the future, when he was angry, he heard about this matter, and couldn't help but be angry.
"Daddy! We can't take revenge blatantly! But we can go to unite the villagers in the township to report to the Tao Town Mansion! Although there are only a dozen officials in Taozhen's yamen, you can't ignore such a thing! Zhang Hui whispered in front of her father.
"Good! I'm going to go to Butcher Jiang and Daddy Ning, and bring all the villagers in Tao Town to see if there is any royal law! Zhang's father's deep voice sounded in the room. After that, he got up directly and went outside the house to find someone.
"Changlin Ling! Do you think they really found the traces of Yi Gelinzi, can we coax the kind of children and old women in Tao Town, and let them spread some false news, just say that they have found their traces elsewhere? Zhang Hui asked Mo Changlin.
"Good idea, you kid, there's still a way! Let's do it! Mo Changlin replied with a wicked smile.
After Zhang's father joined Ning Lao's father and Jiang Butcher and other villagers who were good friends with Meng Yi's family, everyone went to the yamen of Tao Town, the world did not have this reason, not only to ask for money and food, but also to the orphans and widows of the people refused to let go, came to the yamen, shouted again and again, and did not see a government official come out to answer, and finally only said that the officials protected each other.
There was really no way, everyone had to come to Meng's house, the two corpses in the back room had been taken away by the officials in the countryside, everyone had to think of a way to fish Meng's mother out of the well, Ning's father Jiang butcher and the town's cloth seller Boss Song also took out the silver money on the spot, bought a good coffin from the town, and buried Meng's mother overnight, for fear that there would be other changes later.
Zhang Hui and Mo Changlin wandered around Taozhen for a long time, asking everywhere for news, and after hearing that Zhang Tuan had gathered everyone to start arresting the two on the periphery of Taozhen, they couldn't help but change their complexions, as if they wanted to do something, and they didn't know where to start.
On the day of this incident, it was when Ning Yinhu and the others fled for their lives in Wuchang Mansion, and it was not until the next day that Ning Yinhu and others rushed back to Taozhen.
"Early this morning, Zhang Hui and I asked pedestrians passing by in the countryside everywhere, wanting to find out some news, but we were busy all day and didn't get any news, if we didn't get any news tomorrow, I wanted the two of us to go to the countryside together to see the situation!" Mo Changlin said to everyone.
Ning Yinhu and the others didn't know how to speak, seeing this scene, the slightly older Uncle Hu took the lead and said, "These two children should not be short-lived!" It's sure to turn evil into good fortune! It's too late today, I'll go to the government tomorrow to find out the news, and there are a few acquaintances in the yamen of Taozhen! Otherwise, you can go home and rest first, it's been a hard journey. ”
No one spoke, no one moved, they were all silent, and time seemed to stand still.
Ning Yinhu raised his head, glanced at Uncle Hu, nodded slightly, and then slowly said to everyone, "It's not a way to go on like this, let's go home and explain to the family first, eat something, see you at the old place at half a night tonight, and then discuss the solution!" ”
After listening to Ning Yinhu's words, it was Song Tan who took the lead in making a move, and only responded slightly, then got up and walked in the direction of the back door, and then Jiang Ying also got up and left, seeing this scene, Uncle Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
One by one, the figures began to act, Uncle Hu took Jia Xin and Lynx Yanzi and others back to the dart game, and after Ning Yinhu said goodbye to Mo Changlin and Boss Mo, he also took Xiao Wuzi back home.
In the middle of the night, in the small pavilion in the gourd lane of Tao Town, the figure was longing, Ning Yinhu was sitting in the middle of the stone bench of the pavilion, Jiang Ying and Song Tan were sitting on both sides, and then Xiao Wuzi and Zhang Hui, who was called by Jiang Ying, were sitting next to Jiang Ying and Song Tan.
After a while, Mo Changlin walked over from the alley, didn't speak but sat quietly next to everyone, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Uncle Hu walking towards the pavilion with Jia Xin, a lynx and a swallow.
Seeing that Uncle Hu was also coming, everyone hurriedly got up and let Uncle Hu sit in the middle, and Jia Xin also hurriedly said: "Uncle Hu is not worried about a few of us, he is afraid that something will happen to us, so he has to come with us!"
After everyone sat down on the stone bench, Ning Yinhu took the lead in asking, "Tell me how the situation is at home, right?" After speaking, he cast his eyes on everyone.
"My family is fine, there is only one child left in my family except for my father, Jiang Fei is not ten years old enough, my father has to take care of a large family by himself, and it is impossible to go at all, but he handed over the money that the family had worked hard to save, and he sent the plague god away with more than 20 catties of meat!" Jiang Ying couldn't help but scold angrily when she said this, "Damn it! This group of animals, there is no royal law at all! ”
"My dad didn't want to give it at all, he didn't want to give anything, they just told my dad that you can not give it, you have to think about whether the cloth at home is enough to burn it! In the end, I had no choice but to swallow it, I was reluctant to eat and drink for the rest of my life, and I couldn't keep it at all if I saved some money! My dad also told me that this is not the last time! Song Tan's voice also sounded, but his tone was extremely indifferent.
"My family also paid for it! I haven't made a name for myself in my life, and I'm old and forced to pay by these bullshit officials! After Zhang Hui finished speaking, she snorted on the ground.
"Our restaurant has some connection with the yamen, they didn't go too far, they just paid some money, and let them eat and drink a few meals for nothing in the store, oh yes, Chen Lin's family doesn't have to worry, my father has also gone over to do it, it's not a big problem." Mo Changlin also responded.
"The dart bureau is all old, weak, sick and disabled, and Qingzhuang has already been transferred to Wuchang City by the second master, but the money from the dart bureau is only a lot more, and the animals that can be used have been pulled away!" The Bobcat also told the situation of the dart game.
After seeing that everyone had told the situation, Ning Yinhu also said, "As you all know, my father has been a grain seller all his life, always going to the countryside to collect some grain at a low price, and when the price of food is high, he will make a difference by selling a little bit, so he hoards a lot of food at home, and they seem to know that I have food at home, so they scavenged the grain in the rice warehouse in the side house, leaving only two bags of rice, my father was angry and wanted to go up and argue with them, and he was slapped twice and kicked, and he was honest all his life. People who don't even dare to quarrel with others don't expect to be bullied by this! ”
"I got home, and my dad said that fortunately I went out, and if I was conscripted into the army at home, I would have no way to live, and he didn't mention that he was beaten, and my mom couldn't hold it back, so she told me, I'm really angry, a bunch of dog mongrel!"
Speaking of this, Ning Yinhu accentuated his voice again and continued, "Counting the blood debt of Meng Yi's mother, our families have contributed money and food, and they have suffered such a big grievance, a group of people can bully people at will when they come to Tao Town with a few knives, and the bandits are not as domineering as them!" ”
As soon as Ning Yinhu's words fell, Jiang Ying followed and said, "Meng Yi is our sworn brother, his mother is also my mother, and his hatred is also my hatred, he was forced to run away, but this revenge has not been eliminated, and two lives are not enough!" I'm going to iron him! ”
Song Tan glanced at everyone, and then said: "My father has been cautious all his life, but in my eyes, he has never obtained any royal law, whether it is an official or a bandit, if you don't let me live, if you don't let our brothers live, I will ask them to die first!"
"I'm not afraid to tell the truth, a few of you are not in Taozhen, I'm still a little afraid, you are back, I am not afraid of anything, Chen Lin dares to kill, I Zhang Huineng is afraid, I have a lot of iron weapons at home, and it is not a big problem for one person to have a few weapons at hand!" Zhang Hui's delicate face also showed a ruthless look.
"I can do it too! My father often said that people live a righteous way in this life, no matter what, there will be a death, and I don't want to be in a nest! Not to be outdone, Mo Changlin responded.
Bobcat and Yanzi looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Uncle Hu and Ning Yinhu and others, the two of them were people from the dart game after all, and they were not a free body, so it was not easy to express their position for a while! At this moment, Jia Xin also hurriedly spoke, "Yesterday, Zhai Budo in Wuchang Mansion wanted to get us, and this morning Qingyueshan almost ate us, and now Taozhen is not stable, this world is really going to be chaotic, the knife is in the hands of others, it is better to hold it in your own hands, Brother Hu, you just say how to do it!" I did the master of the dart game, and the bobcats and swallows will iron us! ”
After Jia Xin finished speaking, he cast his eyes at the lynx and the swallow, and the two of them did not hesitate at all, and nodded to everyone!
Ning Yinhu and the others were also greatly moved, and grinned at Jia Xin and them, and then everyone looked at Uncle Hu again, and when Uncle Hu saw this, he laughed loudly directly, "I haven't seen anything in my life!" I have cut off the head of the steppe tartar, I have also taken the life of the bandits, and I dare not kill a few mongrels from the countryside? ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Hu stretched out his index finger and nodded at everyone, "You goods, I have come to see you making trouble all the way, and now you are going to see blood, won't I accompany you on a trip?" I'm going to train a few of you martial arts in the future! How can I bear to lose your life! ”
"Hahahaha! It's still Uncle Hu! No! It's better to be a cheap master! At this moment, Jiang Ying couldn't help but joke anymore.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business, do you guys have an idea, how can you be comfortable?" Uncle Hu glanced at Jiang Ying and asked Ning Yinhu and Song Tan.
"Not a single one of our lives will be lost! If they want to lose their lives, they will lose it! Song Tan responded resolutely, and then set his eyes on Ning Yinhu.
"Since Meng Yi and Chen Lin are going to go to Yandang Mountain, then we will prepare a good letter of nomination for them, these mongrels are doing things on the streets of Taozhen these days, and they will have to go to the countryside in a few days, I think they won't be able to leave for a while, so we will fight their ideas!" Ning Yinhu said with a malicious smile.
"So what the hell is going on???" The swallow scratched her head and asked everyone with a puzzled expression. Ning Yinhu didn't say anything more, but just looked at Xiao Wuzi, who had not spoken a word, and everyone also cast their eyes together.
Xiao Wuzi looked at everyone's eyes, and slowly opened his mouth with a slightly embarrassed expression, "It's Brother Hu who means to kill people with a knife!" I went to Yandang Mountain with Hu Wenlie in Niutou Township, and his own brother was the boss there, so it is impossible for thousands of people not to eat these 100 mongrencies! With so much money and food, there is no reason not to be blushing in Yandang Mountain! ”
Looking at the scene of everyone sitting around, Uncle Hu seemed to have returned to the days when the golden iron horse and charged into battle, and he still remembered that when he knelt in front of the big tent of the Chinese army to receive the order, those generals and counselors also discussed things like this.
