Chapter 22: Gambling on Life
Chen Huaiyi was actually not angry at all.
How could such a crimson rumor make an old fritter like him angry?
And it will not involve his fundamental interests.
After all, the identity is different.
Four days ago, he was a boy with only a nine-grade literary heart, he had no future, he had no connections, he had no ability, he didn't have anything, and this kind of thing was really deadly.
But now, he is the little wine fairy Chen hand-picked by the sage.
There is a powerful Confucian master.
There is a group of powerful brothers and sisters.
There is also a strong ability to establish a foothold in this world.
With so many hole cards in his body, such a little thing can hardly hurt him, at most it makes him a little embarrassed.
In other words, different identities have different attitudes towards the same thing.
The same thing is a catastrophe for the people at the bottom, but for some people, it is just a trivial matter of three glasses of wine.
But.
He had to be angry.
Not to be angry for the sake of being angry.
Be angry and show it to some people.
Don't just be angry.
And to be furious.
This is in line with the perception of this kind of thing in this world.
Therefore, he perfectly interpreted the whole process from the iron face to the murderous spirit and then to the shooting.
Shoot the case.
The plate jumped high.
"Whew-"
Pulled out the autumn water knife, jumped to the door, and stared at the crowd murderously: "Who said that?" ”
No one answered.
"Stand up!"
The crowd stepped back slightly, still silent.
Chen Huaiyi raised his knife forward and scolded sharply: "Dare to spread rumors, dare not stand up and confront him? What kind of man is it? ”
The crowd bowed their heads and prepared to disperse.
Chen Huaiyi slashed a horse-tethered stake with a backhand: "Stop!" If you can't find anyone, don't want to leave! ”
At this time, someone shouted, "What? Can you still arrest us all? ”
Chen Huaiyi said sharply: "Arrest it? I can't find anyone, I want to kill you all to prove your innocence! ”
"Are you crazy?"
"As long as you can prove your innocence, you can die, let alone go crazy!"
"You, you ......"
Chen Huaiyi stepped forward again: "Let me ask again, who spread the rumors just now?" If it's a man, come out and fight me to the death! Don't bother anyone else! ”
Still no one answered.
Chen Huaiyi said hatefully: "Dare to be a villain, but staining my innocence and ruining my future is like killing my parents, this revenge will not be avenged, and Chen will not be a man." ”
The voice fell, and the knife was stabbed on the ground: "Please Holy Judge!" ”
"Bet your life with the villain!"
"A certain loses, a certain and a widowed sister-in-law kill themselves on the street and let them be scolded for 10,000 years!"
"If the despicable villain loses, the whole clan will die!"
A few words, loud and clear.
The audience was shocked, and it was as silent as death.
Those with weak hearts were even more shocked to hold their breath.
At this time, someone coughed: "Ahem, why does Chen Xiaojiuxian want to be so angry, there is no need to trouble the saint, the official can call the shots." ”
The crowd got out of the way.
Zhou Chengzong walked to Chen Huaiyi's side with his entourage and arched his hand: "It's just a rumor, you can catch it casually, Chen Xiaojiuxian will wait a while, see if you catch a thief." ”
The voice fell, turned to face the people on the street, and suddenly burst into a shout of "clear understanding".
As soon as the shouts began, two misty blue lights shot out of their eyes, enveloping the people on the street.
Turning his head, the blue light swept by.
After a few seconds, he pointed to a thin man in a green shirt in the crowd: "Catch him-"
The official pounced on the man in green shirt like a wolf and a tiger, caught Chen Huaiyi and Zhou Chengzong like a chicken, and kicked him down.
Zhou Chengzong shouted with a majestic expression: "Seeing that you are also a scholar, why do bad people clean and ruin people's reputations?" Now that he has been caught red-handed by this official, what else can he say? ”
The man in the green shirt hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain is blinded by lard, my lord, for the sake of the villain's first offense, spare the villain's life, and ask the adult to be gracious." ”
Zhou Chengzong sneered: "Kai'en? Do you know that your casual words almost ruined Chen Huaiyi's future? Almost ruined a family? If it weren't for the intervention of this official, your entire clan would have been killed by the saints. ”
"Small, the villain really didn't expect that, the villain is willing to compensate ......"
"Reparations? It's better to leave it to your family," Zhou Chengzong sneered: "Come on, drag this rumor-monger back to the county government to detain him, and wait for the official to retry it." ”
The man in the green shirt hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, my lord, the villain is also a child......
Zhou Chengzong was furious: "If you have a child's literary position, you should better understand the principle of public opinion, but not only did you not speak carefully, but you did this despicable thing in front of the public, and you should be guilty of one more degree." ”
The man in the green shirt was dragged away by the officials, and the people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to be implicated in the culprit.
Zhou Chengzong waved his hand and said: "Disperse quickly, don't be that parrot in the future, otherwise disaster will not be far away." ”
Waiting for the people to disperse, he smiled and grabbed Chen Huaiyi's arm: "Chen Xiaojiuxian, calm your anger and anger, it's really not worth it to be angry for such a villain." ”
Chen Huaiyi arched his hand: "Thank you, sir." ”
"This is the duty of this official, thank you very much," Zhou Chengzong shook his head: "Speaking of which, it is the official who was negligent and forgot to arrange a residence for you." ”
Chen Huaiyi shook his head: "Your Excellency is polite, Chen Moujie is a child, how dare you work so hard." ”
Zhou Chengzong laughed loudly: "You are a little wine fairy hand-picked by the sage, your poetry is unparalleled, and you are the pride of my Tunyang County, and it is impossible to overstate how attentive this official is." ”
Speaking of this, he took out an invitation from his sleeve: "Chen Huaiyi, I will set up a table of thin wine in the county office tonight, and invite the famous people in the county to enjoy the spring moon together, be sure to appreciate your face." ”
Chen Huaiyi took the post, glanced at it, and nodded: "The juniors must come to the door on time." ”
Waiting for Zhou Chengzong to leave, he glanced at the bare street, and swept to the Yue Guest Inn opposite, saw the figure that flashed at the door, sneered, and turned back to the room.
smiled at Wang Weiwei, who was full of sadness: "Sister-in-law, look, isn't this okay?" It's a trifle. ”
Wang Weiwei sighed: "You have to gamble with others, and you still talk about trivial matters." ”
"Just scare and scare those people."
"What if you can't scare them? At that time, it will be difficult to ride a tiger and be forced to gamble for your life, won't it be even more embarrassing? ”
Chen Huaiyi shook his head: "Never." ”
"Could it be that you already knew that Zhou County's order would make a move?"
"No, I don't know, but I guess someone must come forward to clean up the mess, or Zhou County's order or Deng Xuezheng, or my master, senior brothers and sisters, or they may be passing by, anyway, there must be someone who is unwilling to let me, a famous little wine fairy, gamble with others."
Wang Weiwei was surprised when she heard this, when did her little uncle become so witty?
I didn't notice it before.
Is it enlightenment?
Or has it been hiding clumsily before?
That's a good thing, though.
A manly man, it is not enough to have ability, but also to have a heart, so that he can live a better life.
Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief.
But thinking of the rumors spread on the street, I still couldn't help but feel worried: "Huaiyi, these rumors can't be eliminated easily, Zhou County's order can help for a while, but it can't help for a lifetime, let's think of a way as soon as possible, or, let's quickly leave this Tunyang County to avoid other places?" ”
