Chapter 186: Just a gesture
Liu Xuezhi opened his mouth and froze in place.
When Zhao Que entered the eight sedan chairs, the people from Yu Kangcheng carried Zhao Que in the direction of Yu Kangcheng in a beautiful manner.
The jujube red thin horse, when someone heard that it was Zhao Que's, he naturally took the initiative to help him lead it.
"He is our great benefactor of Liujiazhuang!"
"One person extinguished the bandits in Mud Mountain, and set fire to the mountain, this person is definitely a legendary master of the rivers and lakes, and he is so young and has a bright future!"
"Who wrote down the benefactor's appearance just now?!"
The patriarch of Liujiazhuang, who was on crutches, was helped over.
"Patriarch, I've written it down!"
The patriarch smiled lightly and bowed his head.
As soon as the mud mountain bandits left, the patriarch instantly became five or six years younger, as the actual person of Liu Jiazhuang, the old patriarch took on so many lives, and it was even more difficult than Liu Dasheng.
The old patriarch said: "Find a painter to paint the benefactor, our Liujiazhuang is not ruthless and unjust, set up a shrine for the benefactor, so that our children and grandchildren will always remember that the benefactor once saved Liujiazhuang!"
"Great idea, patriarch!"
"The benefactor looks like a god in the portrait, and there must be great blessings!"
The two brothers Liu Dasheng stepped forward to take over from the others to support the old patriarch and welcome them into their own home.
Liu Xuezhi shouted timidly: "Patriarch Grandpa." ”
"Hey, good boy, have you eaten?"
"Eat!"
"Eat well, eat well, these days, I heard that there are people outside who can't eat, we can eat and dress warmly, it is because so many people in Liujiazhuang have cultivated virtue in their previous lives. The old patriarch smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Entered the house.
The old patriarch turned his head to look at the people who were still gathered, used more strength, and shouted: "Let's go back, big guys, since there are no bandits in Niba Mountain, how should we live in the past, and how should we live in the future!"
Needless to say, the prestige of the old patriarch in Liujiazhuang was given, and the people gathered were clean in the blink of an eye.
In previous years, Liujiazhuang has not had a few major cases, and the people of Liujiazhuang involved in the case, the old patriarch judged impartially, and no one could say anything inappropriate.
As the most respected person in the hearts of many people in Liujiazhuang, the old patriarch needs to know what happened to the benefactor who lived in Liu Dasheng's house.
For example, before he went to Niba Mountain to exterminate the bandits, Liu Dasheng said something to him.
The woman's tears were dripping.
She was reluctant to let Zhao Que go, Zhao Que was polite and courteous, and had great kindness to everyone in Liujiazhuang, which really made the woman like it tightly, of course, this kind of love is by no means the love of men and women, but the kind of treatment of life-saving benefactors, as their own relatives.
Pour hot tea.
The old patriarch sat on the main seat of Liu Dasheng's house.
Liu Xuezhi had eaten, and his mind was full of the four words that Zhao Que said to him before leaving, he knew that studying hard was mostly urged by his parents, and studying hard in the future would change, and he would live up to the "trust" of Mr. Xiao.
The old patriarch was at home, and then there were some words that were inconvenient for Liu Xuezhi to hear, and the woman drove him to the private school.
Not to mention, Liu Xuezhi was suddenly full of desire for the sage teachings in the books, and he didn't have to let his mother urge him, so he ran to the private school.
The old patriarch took a sip of hot tea and said, "Dasheng, you grew up with me, and your father went early, leaving you to eat at my house all year round......"
"The kindness of the old patriarch to me will never be forgotten in the life of Dasheng!"
"Well, I understand your personality, otherwise, I wouldn't entrust you with such a big thing as protecting Liujiazhuang. ”
Liu Dasheng's expression was ugly, he knew that Zhao Que went to Yu Kangcheng, and he would more or less suffer from the Shen family's rebuke, although Zhao Que was indeed strong in martial arts, but the great benefactor who saved so many lives in Liujiazhuang had to go through such a big difficulty as Yu Kangcheng, Liu Dasheng blamed himself for being useless and being a waste, and he couldn't help his benefactor.
The old patriarch continued: "Tell me, what happened to the benefactor after he arrived at your house? What did you say to the benefactor?"
Liu Dasheng did not hesitate at all.
The old patriarch knew who he was, and Liu Dasheng also knew what the old patriarch was.
Everything he said to Zhao Que yesterday, and Zhao Que's various analyses, are the same, Liu Dasheng said it clearly.
After hearing this, the old patriarch was speechless for a long time.
Although he had guessed that the bandits in Mud Mountain were by no means simple, he still didn't expect that the bandits' background was so deep.
If so.
Even if the bandits of Niba Mountain ransacked Liujiazhuang up and down, the old patriarch could only bear it, and he couldn't resist at all.
What's more, with Yu Kangcheng's Shen family and the government pressing, relying on Liu Jiazhuang, the men who protect Zhuangzi, are not their opponents at all.
"In other words, the benefactor helped us solve a mortal situation?!" the old patriarch asked.
Liu Dasheng spoke extremely carefully, thought about it a few times, and nodded slowly: "Yu Kangcheng really came, now look, it's true." ”
The old patriarch looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's our Liu Jiazhuang's life that shouldn't be extinguished!"
There was one thing, Liu Dasheng held it back.
The old patriarch's afterglow was always on his face, and he said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Liu Dasheng sighed heavily: "From the mouth of the benefactor, I have more or less guessed some things, but I dare not say it directly. ”
"In this situation, what is there that you dare not say? ”
Liu Dasheng nodded helplessly: "In the future...... Maybe it's not a good day. ”
"Ahh ”
Liu Dasheng said: "The benefactor revealed some meaning in the conversation with me, I thought about it repeatedly, guessed some, and didn't know if it was right or not. ”
"Well, take what you guessed, say it and listen to me. ”
"The world is about to be in chaos!" Liu Dasheng said word by word.
The old patriarch smiled, and the folds on his face squeezed together: "Didn't the passers-by who stayed in the village in the past also say that the world is not peaceful?"
Liu Dasheng shook his head: "Old patriarch, the chaos in the world I am talking about is that no matter where you live, you have to be affected by the war!"
The old patriarch didn't pay attention to this.
"What are you afraid of, it's okay! No matter how big the war disaster is, the Shen family and the government of Yu Kangcheng will bear it, let's just live honestly, it's enough." ”
"No, old patriarch, I'm afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of?!"
The bandits in Niba Mountain are gone, and there is the Shen family as the local soil emperor, and there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls, and the old patriarch doesn't care.
Liu Dasheng sighed: "It's nothing, a few brothers and I will protect the old patriarch." ”
"No, Dasheng, I know you have a good heart, but you shouldn't protect me, you should protect your daughter-in-law and children!"
The tea in the bowl is cold.
The old patriarch drank it all and stood up on crutches.
Liu Dasheng hurriedly went to help.
"No, it's a lot old, if it's dead, it's dead, the false name of the patriarch of Liujiazhuang, who do you think it's appropriate to pass it on?" the old patriarch asked suddenly.
looked directly into Liu Dasheng's eyes.
Liu Dasheng sighed.
The old patriarch smiled again and said: "Dasheng, you are not young anymore, and I also took the false name of the patriarch at your age. ”
And then.
He staggered out of his house.
Liu Dasheng looked at the back of the old patriarch in a daze, dumbfounded.
......
Eight large sedan chairs, the sedan chair is really wide.
Zhao Que opened the curtain and looked at it, someone was holding his brother Ma, and he was a lot more relieved.
Although Brother Ma is thin and does not look like a horse, he accompanies him through mountains and mountains, and works hard, and he will never allow Brother Ma to be wronged at the hands of these people.
The middle-aged man asked loudly, "Do you feel uncomfortable in the sedan chair?"
Zhao Que replied in a loud voice: "Comfortable and comfortable, comfortable anywhere, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart!"
"Oh?!Why does the guest feel uncomfortable? This is an eight-lift sedan chair! Back then, a senior official came to Yukangcheng to inspect and was carried into the city with a eight-lift sedan chair, and the guest is now treated the same as that official! How can he feel uncomfortable?!" The middle-aged man asked with a sneer.
Zhao Que was neither humble nor arrogant: "How long have the bandits in Mud Mountain existed?"
"I don't know. ”
The middle-aged man immediately refused, not knowing anything.
"Why didn't Yu Kangcheng's officers and soldiers come to exterminate the bandits?"
"Oh, I know about this, alas, the guests don't know, Yukangcheng is just a small city, no one has no money and no food, if you send troops to suppress the bandits, ask people for money and food, you really can't get it! So, delay and delay, drag the guests here, help us to suppress the bandits!"
The middle-aged man's words had many loopholes, and Zhao Que didn't bother to pay attention to them.
He asked again: "Which one is the biggest in Yu Kangcheng?"
"If it is the biggest, of course, it is the Shen family with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness!"
"What is the name of the Shen family's master?"
"Shen Changle! Master Shen!"
"Master Shen owns the Shen family, why don't you pay to suppress the bandits? The bandits are in the mud mountain, threatening Zhoujiazhuang and Liujiazhuang, if you don't suppress them, you can't do it!"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Master Shen's money and food are his own, and people are also his own subordinates, the Shen family lives their own lives, and usually does good things for the people of Yukangcheng, and is reluctant to contribute money and food for a while, the guests won't think they shouldn't be, right?"
"It must be, the Shen family is Yu Kangcheng's big family, how many generations of family business have been accumulated, it is really human nature for Master Shen to pick the door a little!" Zhao Que said in a strange manner.
The middle-aged man laughed.
Yu Kangcheng is the world of the Shen family, and when he arrives in the city, no matter how strong this martial arts master is, he can always be killed by using crowd tactics, right?
Zhao Que opened the curtains, looked for the middle-aged man, and saw him riding a tall horse, with his toes high, "What's your name?"
"What's the guest's last name?"
"Zhao Que. ”
"Shen Yongchun. ”
"Who are you, Shen Changle?"
"Master Shen is the uncle of my clan!"
Zhao Que deliberately showed surprise: "You are a family!"
"Little Brother Zhao is also our family?!"
"How did I become your man?!" Zhao Que asked.
Shen Yongchun said with a smile: "Maybe, the little brother in the next life will be the Shen family!"
The threat in the words is obvious.
Replaced by Zhao Que laughed.
One step out of the eight-lift sedan chair.
Tap lightly.
In the blink of an eye, he snatched the reins from Shen Yongchun's hand.
"You go and sit in a sedan chair, Zhao is not happy in it!"
A slap on Shen Yongchun's neck, a little strength, before Shen Yongchun could react, he seemed to be blown off the horse by the wind, straight up, and fell in front of the eight-lift sedan chair.
The sedan chair man immediately stopped, staring blankly at Shen Yongchun, who had fallen into the sky, and did not dare to make a move.
The two or three hundred people who followed all drew their weapons.
With a murderous look on one's face.
Zhao Que smiled and pointed at these people.
"You go to the mud mountain to suppress the bandits, but you are much faster than Zhao, the leader of the mountain bandits called Zhao Daring, how can he be your opponent?!"
Shen Yongchun was not angry, stood up, and patted his buttocks.
"Put your weapons back! What are you doing! Little brother is joking with me, look at the scare you, haha...... Little brother, are you kidding me?!"
Shen Yongchun didn't smile at his skin.
Hold back the anger in your heart.
is used to being domineering in Yu Kangcheng.
It's a shame to let an outsider slap him away!
Zhao Que laughed and asked, "What do you think?!"
"I think the little brother is joking with me!"
"Well, depending on you, it's kind of a joke. ”
Zhao Que rode to Shen Yongchun's side, condescending, "You call Uncle Shen Changle, so you say, the head of the Shen family is an old man?!"
"Master Shen is only a few years older than me. ”
"Oh?"
Shen Yongchun's eyes were red, and his words trembled, "According to the seniority, Master Shen is my uncle." ”
"Also, if Shen Changle were your uncle, how could he make you do this hard work?!"
"Doing things for the people of Yukang City, there are no drudgeries, it's all fortunate!"
Zhao Que couldn't help but laugh again: "You, you can speak, okay, don't stand stupidly, go and sit in the sedan chair!"
"The eight-lift sedan chair is for the little brother, how can he sit and live in Xiahede?"
"In that case, then follow behind my horse, how far is Yu Kangcheng to arrive?"
Shen Yongchun suddenly said angrily: "Little brother, I advise you to be forgiving and forgiving!"
"Wrong!
"What's wrong?!"
"You should say, the Shen family gave me face, I, Zhao Que, don't kick my nose in the face, don't give my face shame, don't eat toast, eat and punish wine!"
"Okay! Okay! What a descendant of the rivers and lakes! When I arrive in Yukangcheng, what the little brother said, I will truthfully report it to Master Shen!"
"Well, I have a good memory, don't forget it!"
Shen Yongchun would definitely not be stupid to follow behind Zhao Que's horse ass.
Otherwise, in front of the eyes of these two or three hundred people, his face as a member of the Shen family would be disgraced.
Someone gave his horse to Shen Yongchun.
Take a few breaths of relief.
He said: "Guest, there are still more than four hours to go from Yu Kangcheng. ”
"Do you know Zhao Daring?"
"Recognize ......" Shen Yongchun only felt a chill in the back of his head, and hurriedly changed his words: "He is the leader of the mountain bandits, I am from the government, how can I know him?"
Zhao Que didn't ask, looking at Yu Kangcheng in the distance, secretly surprised in his heart.
The Shen family has really put a lot of effort into Yu Kangcheng.
Just looking at the city wall, it is higher than the state city of Nanyangzhou, the city wall of Jinlu City.
He pointed to the walls of Yukang City and asked, "Is Yukang City divided into an inner city and an outer city?"
There was no need to hide this matter from him, Shen Yongchun replied directly: "Exactly, in order to protect the people in Yukang City, the Shen family took the initiative to contribute funds and unite with the government to build the outer city. ”
"What a rainy day, when was it built?!"
"I guess, it's almost a jiazi, right?! This is what my father told me, and it was built intermittently for almost ten years!"
Zhao Que bowed his head: "What if...... If there is a war in the future, Yu Kangcheng will be able to hold out for a long time with the tall and steep city walls. ”
Shen Yongchun was secretly overjoyed, but he suddenly scolded: "Zhao Que, do you understand what you are talking about? And today is peaceful, prosperous everywhere, how can there be any war!"
Zhao Que replied nonchalantly: "Are you deaf?!"
"You're deaf!"
"Zhao just said if, if the word if, do you understand what it means? Could it be that you have achieved your current position not by real talent and hard work, but by the nepotism of the Shen family?!"
"Fart, Shen someone was born and died for the people of Yu Kangcheng, and finally got into the eyes of the official master, so he got to his current position, how could it be by the nepotism of the Shen family? The little brother doesn't know, the Shen family rules are extremely strict, the children of the Shen family must rely on their true talents to work hard, go out into business, once the law enforcers of the Shen family know that they have family relations, all their clan registration will be abolished and expelled from the house!"
Zhao Que said with a smile: "The Shen family is now the soil emperor of Yu Kangcheng, and the whole city is the property of the Shen family, don't say that it depends on family relations, when the people hear your surname Shen, how dare they oppose you!"
The little brother laughed again. ”
"Am I laughing?!" Zhao Que asked strangely.
Shen Yongchun looked back at everyone.
They laughed in unison.
Shen Yongchun said: "Little brother, listen, your jokes are really funny." ”
Zhao Que nodded suddenly in realization: "It turns out that your laughter is so low!"
The more he reached Yukang City, the greater his surprise was given by the majesty of the city wall.
The Shen family really put in the blood to run Yu Kangcheng.
Hurry under the city walls.
Zhao Que glanced at the defenders guarding the city wall.
All listless.
Although the body is strong, and looking at their spirit, Zhao Que knows that when he pulls this group of people to the battlefield, they will definitely have to run before the fight starts.
He turned his head and squinted at the two or three hundred people who were firmly following him.
It's very different from the defenders on the city walls.
Zhao Que asked with a smile: "In order to welcome Zhao, did the Shen family send out all the elites of Yu Kangcheng?!"
Shen Yongchun hurriedly said: "Little brother, this is wrong, it is not the Shen family that greets you, but the official mansion, the official mansion of Yu Kangcheng. ”
"Shicai, you still say that it is the Shen family. Zhao Que swore an oath.
Shen Yongchun slapped himself twice, "Oh, it's someone Shen who said it wrong, it's the official government, it's definitely not the Shen family, the Shen family never interferes with the government." ”
Zhao Que bowed: "That's the case." ”
The gates were wide open.
Outside the city gates, there are two columns of drums.
Zhao Que counted on the horse, and there were twenty of them.
Another twenty women with heavy makeup saw Shen Yongchun, and immediately waved the drumsticks in their hands and smashed the drums.
Hundreds of people immediately appeared in the city, and everyone was elated and cheered.
Shen Yongchun rode to Zhao Que's side: "Little brother, look, they are all welcoming you." ”
Zhao Que looked at the people and the twenty women, hugged his fists and said: "Zhao, I am flattered!"
"No, no, no, this is a courtesy that little brothers should enjoy!"
Zhao Que looked at Shen Yongchun: "The government is not going, I want to see Master Shen!"
Shen Yongchun invited him to enter the city.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I use the blood relationship with Master Shen to introduce the little brother. ”
Zhao Que bowed.
At last they entered the city.
Shen Yongchun immediately did not hide his anger and glared at him angrily.
Zhao Que smiled and asked, "Why don't you introduce me to Master Shen for the next generation?"
He turned a blind eye to Shen Yongchun's hostility.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"
"Wait a minute. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?!" Shen Yongchun asked with a angry smile.
"Zhao will go with you, if Master Shen doesn't see Zhao, Zhao will be outside the door of Shen's house, waiting for Master Shen's reception!"
"Okay, come with me. ”
The two or three hundred people, leading Zhao Que's thin horse, followed him inch by inch.
It seems like......
Escort the prisoner to the government.
The streets of Yu Kangcheng can see the word "Shen" everywhere.
However, the life of the people, Zhao Que in the bottom of his eyes, secretly said, the Shen family runs a place, there are rules and regulations, and the profits are distributed to the people, so that everyone in the people will remember the good of the Shen family, and when the time comes, the Shen family will give an order to let the people overthrow the government, presumably, the people of Yu Kangcheng will not hesitate at all.
Of course, the Shen family is magnificent.
Zhao Que waited outside the gate.
The two servants guarding outside the door looked at him with unkind eyes.
The two or three hundred people surrounded Zhao Que.
Zhao Que is like a fish in water outside his door, not to mention stressed, just waiting for Master Shen to invite him to eat good food and good food, after such a long journey, he was hungry.
By the way, solve these things, and ask the Shen family to prepare dry food for him, and then go on the road.
Shen Yongchun followed an old man and went out together.
"Little brother, he is the old housekeeper of the Shen family. ”
Zhao Que sighed, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the old housekeeper." ”
Although the old man is old, he walks with a tiger, his eyes are like an eagle, his gestures are neat and neat, he never drags mud and water, he looks at Zhao Que, the corners of his mouth hide a smile, and the smile hides a murderous aura, the old man must be a ruthless stubble who is not weak in martial arts.
The kind that has had a lot of lives under his hands.
The old housekeeper smiled and asked, "You eradicated the mountain bandits in Mud Mountain?!"
Zhao Que was respectful: "It's exactly below." ”
"Haha...... Sure enough, heroes have come out of youth since ancient times, okay! Great! The Shen family likes to make friends with heroes in the world the most, little brother, please come in!"
watched Zhao Que walk into the door of the Shen family.
Shen Yongchun smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, you don't need to be here, right?"
"Well, you go back to the official mansion to get busy. ”
"Okay, if you have something to say, you can ask people to give me a voice. ”
"I know, I know, how can there be so many words! Little brother go this way......
Shen Yongchun led people out of a street, and Fang smacked fiercely: "Damn old thing, when Lao Tzu's status in the Shen family goes up a few steps, I have to skin you alive!"
Zhao Que followed behind the old butler, walked through the corridor of the Shen family, and asked, "The old butler is a martial artist in the upper realm of Xiaoyin?"
"Yes, the little brother is breathing unsteadily, but he is injured?" The old housekeeper was not afraid that Zhao Que would guess his martial arts realm, after all, in the Shen family, it was his territory.
Zhao Que nodded and admitted: "Exactly, the injury is more serious." ”
"It just so happens that the Shen family has a few good pills, and after the little brother takes them, they may be helpful to the injury. ”
The old butler had just finished speaking.
Shen Changjing hugged a pretty maid, walked head-on, stopped, and looked Zhao Que up and down: "Oh, Your Excellency is a good man who killed all the bandits in the mud mountain?"
Zhao Que clenched his fists and said unceremoniously: "A good man doesn't dare to be a hero, it's just a matter of raising his hands." ”
"Hehe, it's a good effort, raise your hand, you will kill it, and you will also set the mud mountain on fire, if it weren't for the effort, wouldn't even Yu Kangcheng have to be slaughtered?"
