6. Black-hearted coal boss
Zhao Jiayi found the three of them and told him about the scene of teaching Li Han a lesson, and Li Ping only applauded happily. Mother Li saw that her daughter was not a little reserved, glared at her, and said, "What does the girl's family look like like this." ”
Ding Xi was also very happy when he heard it, and begged Zhao Jiayi to teach him all the martial arts quickly. The four of them started to hurry again, they had experienced too many things in the past few days, Zhao Jiayi discussed with them, and they would spend two days in the next town and rest. Adjust the state, after all, it is not possible to rush to Xi'an in a day or two. Ding Xi was naturally happy when he heard this, and he could eat delicious food in the town again. Play fun. kept pulling Li Ping and talking. Although Mother Li was in a hurry, she could only listen to his arrangement by relying on Zhao Jiayi.
Seeing that it was still early, the four of them were not in a hurry to hurry, Mother Li rode a horse by herself, Li Ping rode a horse with Ding Xi in her arms, Zhao Jiayi led the horse, and the four of them hurried forward in a hurry.
Looking at the hilly areas on both sides of the road until the distance, the leaves of the dwarf trees on the ridge have all fallen. A decadent scene, since he escaped late at night, after the disaster at home, his heart has never settled. I plan to find a place to live incognito and live a life of male farmers and female weavers after finding her. What court, grievances and struggles, these are not what they want. Even if Wei Zhongxian is stabbed, won't there be Li Zhongxian and Zhang Zhongxian? I am an ordinary person, and it would be good to be able to do a good job in self-cultivation and family management.
Mother Li saw that Zhao Jiayi didn't speak, her face was pensive, and it was inconvenient to ask. Li Ping asked Ding Xi: "What kind of kung fu did your master teach you?" Ding Xi replied proudly: "Long fist, five ancestor fists and grappling." Master also taught me the Three Character Sutra and the Analects. Sister, do you want to learn? I beg Master to teach you. ”
Li Ping smiled when he heard this, and said, "I'm a woman's family, it's good to be a woman." Unlike you boys, you have to defend your family and country. ”
Ding Xi didn't know the difference between men and women, so he said: "It's okay if you don't study, learning is boring." It's not fun. ”
As soon as Zhao Jia heard this, he taught: "The man is ambitious in all directions, how can he play with all his mind." Men need to know their responsibilities and take care of not only themselves, but also their families. If you have great ability, you must take the world as your own responsibility. ”
Ding Xi listened to the master's lesson, looked serious, and said, "Got it." ”
Li Ping asked, "Is the son going to Xi'an to visit relatives or friends?"
"Find a friend. Zhao Jiayi replied.
"Is she from Xi'an, how long are you going to be there?"
"Her uncle Xi'an, I don't know, let's make plans when I find it. Zhao Jiayi said helplessly.
After Zhao Jiayi finished speaking, he asked their mother and daughter to ride a horse, hugged Ding Xi by himself, and walked a little more while it was still early, striving to get to Yangxian in front before dark.
In the evening, the four of them arrived in Yangxian County and found a hotel called Yuelaiju in the west of Yangxian County. The shop is very clean and the owner is kind. The shopkeeper is enthusiastic. I asked for two rooms, and after settling down, the four of them went downstairs to eat. After eating, Zhao Jiayi asked them to go back to the house first, go out by themselves, familiarize themselves with the environment, and learn about the situation in the county by the way.
Ding Xi clamored to go, and Li Ping also wanted to go, but he was embarrassed to say it. With expectant eyes in his eyes, Zhao Jiayi thought that it would be okay to take them with him, and he would not go far. Let Mother Li go upstairs by herself. took the two out of the inn. Because it was already dark early in late autumn. There are still a lot of people on the street, bustling, selling snacks, beggars and homeless people on the street.
Walking along the street from east to west for about half a mile, Zhao Jia saw that there was nothing to pay attention to, so he walked north to another street, and then prepared to return to the hotel, Ding Xi asked for snacks and fruits. Zhao Jiayi accompanied him into the store and bought some. There was nothing to do, and I thought that I would stay here for a day or two, so I went back to rest.
When I got up the next morning, I first asked Ding Xi to practice Changquan in the room and memorize poetry books. He called Li's mother and daughter down for breakfast. After eating, let Ding wash and wash the changed clothes, Mother Li naturally didn't let Ding wash the work, and contracted it herself. Zhao Jiayi was not polite, so he took the two of them to go shopping.
Walking to the street, I don't know what is interesting nearby, so I randomly inquire, what are the good places to go nearby, and the passer-by is also a warm-hearted person, so I ask if I want to be lively, I will go to the relics pagoda in the city, or the Cai Lun tomb not far ahead. Zhao Jia didn't have much interest when he heard it, and after a while, there was a sound of gongs and drums, saying that the rivers and lakes were juggling, and people were also bored. Sure enough, he stepped on stilts and turned his heels, which was really a minute on stage and ten years off the stage. Look at their young age and healthy body. It seems that there is no less suffering. It seems that after a while, the head of the squad came out to ask for a reward, and Zhao Jiayi took out some silver, and the squad leader was very happy to see him generous. Zhao Jiayi smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Jiayi pulled Ding Xi to go to the west of the Zhiguo Temple to have a look, and while walking, Ding Xi and Li Ping bought sugar gourds and cakes, one bag per person, and a lot of them in their hands. The beggars in the vicinity revolved around them.
When Zhao Jia saw that there were so many beggars on the street, most of them were hungry, knowing that the year was not good, and the landlords and the government had encroached on the land. I bought some steamed buns and rice nearby and distributed them to them. Seeing that the hungry people in the vicinity were becoming more and more crowded, he hurriedly took them away.
As I was walking, I heard a group of people on the street making noise, and after listening to it for a while, I probably understood that there was a Du Yuanwai nearby, who opened a coal yard, and in order to make money, he came out at night to catch those beggars and put them to work in his own coal yard, taking care of meals three times a day, and not paying wages. It will be beaten and scolded at the worst, and it will be fatal at the worst. There have been many missing people lately. This beggar worked in it for a few days, found out the details, and escaped with the help of everyone, went to the county government to report to the official, and was actually beaten out, saying something to slander the good people. Several people discussed going to the state to sue them. Some people have to organize people to come to the rescue. When there was disagreement, they quarreled.
As soon as Zhao Jia heard this, he stepped forward and said, does this eldest brother know where the coal yard is?
Everyone saw that he was tall and neatly behaved, and they suddenly had a good impression, so they told him 1510, and then said, "Look at the son's extraordinary behavior, if you want to save people, everyone will follow him, and the firepower in the water will definitely help." Zhao Jiayi asked about how many people were guarding the coal yard, and there were about 100 of them. Zhao Jia pondered for a while, and then said goodbye to everyone. I'm going to go and find out what the coal yard is like at night. Dare to be so careless of human life. I'm angry and I don't have the heart to go shopping. Hurriedly returned to the hotel with the two of them.
When I returned to the store and asked the boss what the origin of this Du Yuan Wai was, the boss heard about it, and said: "This Du Yuan's grandfather has been handed down more than ten hectares of land, and the family is big, with two sons and a daughter. The daughter married the magistrate, and the eldest son donated a shop, and usually did all the bad things. The Wei Zhongxian Ancestral Hall in the county was built by him. ”
When Zhao Jia heard this, he was even more determined to get rid of this scum. After listening to the boss, I asked for some wine and food, and while drinking, I thought about how to act at night.
