"Stinky Daoist, dare to come to my Qiansong Ridge, are you here to find death?" I saw the man waving his sword and saying angrily.

"Hey, how is this man exactly the same as the man who fainted in front of the mountain gate?" said the monkey casually.

"Are you embarrassed to ask, that day my brother and I were chased and killed by the enemy, and you couldn't save you when you saw death, and you still have the face to come to my Qiansongling?" the man said angrily.

"I wasn't there in front of the mountain gate that day, I only heard about it later, and now your brother is still in a coma. The monkey said.

Qin Hu said.

"It turned out to be my own brother, alas, I will definitely inform Brother Ling when I go back, so as not to kill each other again. When I came back this time, I told the owner of the village in person and asked the two brothers to lead the way. The monkey said.

There was a person sitting on the castle tower, with an iron helmet and armor, a treasure knife at his waist, a black beard and black sideburns, his face as black as charcoal, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted to the city wall, "Who is coming? It was like a thunderclap that sounded down from the sky.

"Bao Sanye, I, Hou Yong, do you remember? Two years ago, the owner of the village sent me to Longhu Mountain to look for scriptures. The monkey was full of smiles, looking up at this black charcoal group, Bao Sanye, who was known as "Saiyide", Bao Fei said.

"You wait to go to Longhu, two years, so far there is no whereabouts of the scriptures, alas, the owner of the village has been depressed for the past two days, you are so self-conscious. After Bao Sanye finished speaking, he sat down again and looked into the distance.

"Let's go, the owner of the village should be in the hall, I will send you there, and I have to go down the mountain with Brother Qin to patrol the mountain gate." Jiang Yan led forward.

Everyone entered the Zhongzhai Gate, on both sides of the mountain houses, roadshow martial arts school field, through the middle courtyard flower garden corridor, climbed the stone steps and high platform, and went to the meeting hall.

This meeting hall, double-layer heavy eaves corner building, on both sides of the hall door, stand in a row of more than 40 mountain people, the left hand is holding a spear on the ground, the right hand is holding a sword at the waist and standing, the door plaque is written "Yi Bo Yuntian", four golden characters, six three open doors, all red lacquer carved wooden doors, four pillars are supported under the eaves, the estimated cost of silver, no less than the state capital pomp.

When everyone walked to the door of the hall, the military academy on duty waved their knives to block the way, "What are you waiting for? ”

"If you are troublesome with the owner of the village, you will say that the guards of the mountain gate, Jiang Ting and Qin Hu, have something to see. Jiang Ting said.

The military academy on duty looked at the monkey, "Wait here, don't blame me for not reminding me, don't walk around, this is not a time to discuss things, trespassers, there is no mercy." ”

Everyone nodded yes, the military academy on duty pushed the door in, and then closed the door tightly, after a while, the military academy on duty opened the door and came out, "The owner of the village is waiting in the hall, and the generals are invited in with me, and the Shanding minions are waiting in front of the door." ”

The monkeys entered with the military academy on duty, two rows of tables and chairs were lined up, tiger skin chairs in the main hall of the council, a picture of the tiger descending the mountain was hung on it, and the weapon racks on both sides, eighteen kinds of weapons, were inserted vertically.

At this time, there is a person out of the left door, dressed as a scholar, holding a goose feather fan, the green beard is long and hanging, the eyebrows are clear and beautiful, there is a black mole under the left lip, and a white whisker grows on it, it looks black and white.

"Let's all sit down, Zuo is not talented, come here first, greet everyone, and the owner of the village will be there soon. Zuo Yunming said with a goose feather fan.

The monkey and everyone bowed their hands, "Thank you, Strategist," and everyone sat down in the hall.

"Hah...... Ha ......" At this time, there was a burst of laughter from the right door, and a person walked out of the door.

This person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a wide forehead and a big face, a brocade dress, a black gold crown on his head, and a white jade belt around his waist.

This person's surname is Wang Mingdan, the word Huxiong, originally the son of the grandfather of Wangjiabao under Qiansong Ridge, ten miles away, with a solid family background and hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and he is regarded as a squire and tyrant on the rich side.

It is said that on this day, Wang Huxiong, on the order of his father, went to urge the rent with the servants, the straw is continuous, the golden ears of rice, hanging in the field in the middle of the day, and the rice fields that cannot be seen at a glance are all the property of the Wang family, leased to tenant farmers, collecting the corresponding grain, and the sun shines down in the sky, a scene of a bumper harvest.

"Farmland Essay"

--Cold Mountain Lone Pine

red sun on rice field fertilizer,

The wind blows and the willows follow the waves.

The black muscle of the grain cap is fast,

The water shadow fish shoots the coming year.

(The poems in the book are all inscribed by the lone pine of the cold mountain, do not plagiarize and copy, otherwise you will be held accountable.) ）

The tenant farmers who were busy harvesting in the farmland stopped in the water, stopped their work, and waved to the little young master Wang Dan to report.

"Hello young master of the Wang family, say hello to the master on our behalf, thank him for renting land to us, so that we can have enough to eat. Everyone was gossiping and talking.

"The villagers have worked hard, thank you for your concern, I thank my father here. This year, the rent of this field will be less than two loads of grain for you. ”

"Thank you, young master," the tenant farmers cheered in unison, tossing their straw hats.

At this time, a servant came in a hurry, attached to Wang Dan's ear, and whispered for a while, only to see the eldest young master's face change suddenly, "Go, go back immediately." Then he waved goodbye to the tenant farmers in the field and went to Wangjiabao.

Wangjiabao, at this time has been full of people, the royal house's maids, came to see the lively four relatives of the neighbors, gathered at the gate of the big fort, Wang Dan hurriedly returned with the family, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Yuanwai greeted him, "Dan'er, you are back, the Yingtan Inspection Department sent a message, saying that someone from the household department came and named us to come to Wangjiabao." ”

"Daddy, they're here, why are they fighting so much?" Wang Dan asked puzzledly.

"Dan'er, don't you know? They were instructed by others to raise taxes and taxes, saying that the imperial court was fighting every year, and the treasury was in deficit. Wang Yuanwai said with some sadness.

"Why is my father so panicked? Isn't it handed over to the national treasury every year?"

"Do you know the official name of this household, who is the surname, and who is the name?" Wang Yuanwai shook his head and sighed and asked.

"What does this have to do with my Wangjiabao? Daddy, no one in my family has ever been an official in Beijing, what do you mean by asking?" Wang Dan asked puzzledly.

"The one who came down to inspect was the member of the household department, surnamed Cai Mingshun, the Cai family's Daao, Cai's normal nephew, we had a feud with the ancestors of the Cai family's Daao, and Cai Normal was even more with me, there was a grudge against the sky, this time, I must have bad intentions, and I have a personal vendetta. Wang Yuanwai panted and said with a whisker.

"What does the inspector say? We won't distort the facts, or sit idly by? Anyway, we go to pay him a birthday every year. Wang Dan asked.

"The inspection department has made a general judgment and told us to prepare early, up and down, and avoid unwarranted disasters. As for this general judge, don't count on him, he will be in charge of this official, this Yingtan ground, this Beijing official is much more than him, I'm afraid that when the time comes, if you don't stab you in the back, you will have to ask God to worship Buddha. ”

"How can it be like this? Usually we honor him, and we don't miss it? Marrying a concubine and holding a birthday, even if our Wangjiabao has not arrived, this gift has been sent to him?" Wang Dan said with a puzzled expression.

"Dan'er, this officialdom is sinister, it is all pushed by everyone when the tree falls, and the master is changed in battle, so that it is one of the most basic rules in the officialdom for self-preservation. Wang Yuanwai shook his head and said with a sad face.

At this time, he galloped outside the fort and rode and clamped, reined and dismounted, and said with his fists in his fists, "Outside the king, my lord and the visitors from Kyoto have now traveled to two miles outside the fort. ”

"Okay, butler......" The butler immediately came up, took out two taels of broken silver from his bosom, and put them in the hand of the messenger.

"Then I'll thank you first, Wang Yuan, I can do it for myself and ask for more blessings. Then they mounted their horses and galloped away, and dust rose up on the road.

The king looked out at the dust and smoke in the distance, and whispered to the housekeeper, "Go to the account man's and take a hundred taels of silver tickets, oh no, two hundred taels, twenty taels each, just say that the old man wants it, record it on my account, and I will sign it later, remember, don't let others know, you know?"

After listening to the order, the steward went to the fort, "Dan'er, remember later, don't be reckless, don't make the child angry, otherwise we will invite and destroy the door." ”

After Wang Yuanwai gave the order, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the stone bench next to the outside of the fort, "Daddy, don't be afraid." My martial arts just came in handy, and it was not in vain that I practiced martial arts for ten years, away from the bustling city and the city, and avoided the barren mountains and mountains. ”

"Dan'er, this household member Wailang Cai Shun, the person who came is not good, I am afraid that my Wangjiabao will not escape today, instead of burning the jade, it is better to send you to your cousin's place, save your life, and make a comeback in the future." Do you think it's good?" asked Wang Yuanwai softly.

"It's not good, I don't want to go to my cousin's, I want to accompany my father, I won't go anywhere, I won't go. Wang Dan very resolutely rejected Wang Yuanwai's proposal.

Seeing that his son was so persistently opposed, Wang Yuanwai didn't say anything more, and the two of them silently looked at the road and the direction in which the household member Wailang was traveling.

On the road outside Wangjiabao, a team of soldiers came in front of the mighty march, holding a spear in front of the road, Yingtan Patrol Inspection Division judged Zeng Ze, sitting on a tall horse, a pair of military armor, a sword hanging on the waist, all the way with a smile

Yes.

Followed by a class of yacha, holding a shunning and quiet card, two yacha holding a gong, beating and walking, one by eight to carry the sedan chair, eight family servants to lift, the master gently shook the feather fan, the sedan chair side whispered, slowly, erected a flag behind the sedan car, the flag on the brocade rust big character "Cai" also.

The soldiers of the inspection department, the people watching outside the fort, separated on both sides, the inspection department sentenced to get off the horse and pedal, handed the horse whip in his hand to his soldiers, and then led everyone to Wangjiabao to march, and the king immediately greeted the general, "Lord Zeng has worked hard, the boat and horses are tired, please inside, please inside." ”

The judge immediately walked a few steps quickly, and said softly, "Prince, I must have informed you that I am riding quickly, this household member Wailang, Cai's big pass, last time you fought for the water source in the east of the village, and the people were in danger, I sent troops to rescue you from danger, this guy mentioned this matter as soon as he came, I am afraid that you and I will not have a good life." ”

"Lord Zeng, Wang has thanked you here, your great kindness, the villain will definitely remember it, this bit of broken silver, the right to be tea and wine money, I hope the adults will accept it with a smile. Wang Yuanwai took out twenty taels of silver tickets from his bosom and secretly stuffed them into the hands of this Zeng Zezeng.

"You see, how embarrassing is it that I am a useless person? Zeng Ze postponed the child's leave twice, and then stuffed the silver ticket in his sleeve.

Here to introduce to you, this sentence is equivalent to the mayor of the town or the deputy governor of the county, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, belongs to the six products, because this Yingtan belonged to the county-level town at the time, so there was no county government, that is, there was no county magistrate, so by the garrison inspection department, Zeng Tong sentenced Zeng to grasp both sides of the military and civilians, generally like this kind of place is fat shortage, that is, after the addiction of being an official, and with heavy soldiers in hand, why not.

The two were talking happily, but they heard a slap in the face and slapped it on the face of Lord Zeng, who just wanted to scold, looked back and closed his mouth......
