Chapter 131: Two thousand taels of compensation

When Wang Erniu heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, and pretended to be frightened, and shouted loudly: "Miserable, I'm an old cow who can't swim!"

"Wang Dutou, don't panic!" Who knew that Zheng Tao was very calm, he commanded: "The hole in this boat is not big, Brother Chen, you paddle, Wang Dutou, although you step on the hole with your foot, I will splash the water out with my hands, this is only two or three miles away from Qingfeng Island, it is not difficult to stick to the past!"

Wang Erniu said in his heart: "Okay, you Zheng Tao, you are so calm, only Lao Tzu has a plan!"

"Oh, Brother Zheng, don't you know, the day before yesterday, there was a Zhao Banxian in Yanggu County, who gave me a life, saying that I would have a flood risk in the next two days, and it will be fulfilled at this moment!" Wang Erniu shouted, suddenly covered his right foot, and said in horror: "Why can't my feet move, do you really want to die in the sky!"

He rolled to the side of the boat and fell into the water, he knew the nature of the water, but he pretended to be drowning in the water, floating and sinking, in fact, a pair of feet were desperately kicking the boat under the water, Wang Wentai understood and shouted: "Dutou, don't move, I'll save you!"

He hurriedly jumped into the water, but he accidentally stepped on the side of the boat, coupled with Wang Erniu's force in the water, the whole boat immediately turned over, and Wang Erniu fell into the water, Zheng Tao was already panicked, at this moment the boat turned over, he pounced forward, and also fell into the water.

"Help..... I..... I don't understand...... Water-based!"

After Zheng Tao got into the water, he drank a few sips of water in a row, and immediately became dizzy, Wang Erniu took the opportunity to wrap one hand around his neck, and seemed to be struggling, but he was actually swimming towards the island.

Wang Wentai dived into the water and swam away to the opposite shore, about half an hour, Wang Erniu pulled Zheng Tao ashore, he had drunk enough water, fainted, Wang Erniu laughed, and was not in a hurry to wake him up.

It was only early spring, it was about to be clear, it was still very cold, he immediately found some dry firewood, the fire fold had already been wrapped in oiled paper, not soaked in water, he lit a fire, stripped off the clothes on his body, dried them, put them on, and then slowly pressed the middle of the person for Zheng Tao, pressed the stomach, let him spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and then woke up leisurely.

"Brother Zheng, are you awake?" Wang Erniu looked very worried, Zheng Tao looked at Wang Erniu, slowed down for a while, and then said, "Wang Dutou, where is this?"

Wang Erniu helped him up and said, "This is a small island next to Qingfeng Island, and there is no one living on it. ”

"Then how do we go back?" Zheng Tao asked immediately when he sobered up.

"Brother Zheng don't have to worry, this small island is rich in aquatic products, as little as one day, as much as three or two days, there will be fishermen coming here to fish, and someone will definitely save us." ”

"If it takes so long, wouldn't it be a mistake for Lord Liu's errand?"

"Big brother, it's a blessing that you and I can pick up our lives at the moment, and what errand do you care. ”

"Having said that, if it takes three or two days for someone to come to the rescue, what will we eat?"

"Don't worry!" Wang Erniu smiled and took out a bag of jerky and said: "The villain is usually the most afraid of hunger, so he often carries dry food on his body, and this pack of jerky is enough to eat, and he will not starve to death for two or three days." ”

Zheng Tao had no choice but to take off his wet clothes and dry them, his body was warm, his mind was clear, and he was stunned: "No, Wang Erniu and I don't know how to be water-based, how did I come to this island, even if I was lucky enough to drift here, how did he have dry clothes on his body, and he also brought a bag of jerky, this thing is very strange!"

But even so, he didn't dare to say it, he was just a messenger who sent official letters back and forth, Wang Erniu was the head of his predecessor, and his martial arts were strong, if he didn't agree with him, he would die here, he was really innocent.

The two didn't have anything to say that night, and the next day, Zheng Tao asked, "Wang Dutou, when will someone come to the rescue?"

"At least in time!"

Zheng Tao saw a fleeting trace of a strange smile on the corner of Wang Erniu's mouth, and his heart was relieved, and he sighed and said, "Wang Dutou, the villain has something to ask?"

Wang Erniu's heart froze, but he still remained calm, and asked, "Brother Zheng might as well say it directly!"

"It's only a two-day journey from Yanggu County back to Dongping Mansion, if the villain is delayed for two days, how to explain to Lord Yin, what Wang Dutou says, what the villain says. ”

"You said that the situation has changed, and the county magistrate will be interrogated for two days, and then I will ask the minister for personal favor on behalf of my brother, and revise a letter to explain the situation. ”

Since Wang Erniu said that, Zheng Tao was helpless, the two waited on the island until noon, and suddenly a small boat came, Wang Erniu was overjoyed, and the boat that picked him up arrived three hours early, proving that the matter had been done.

The people on the boat claimed to be fishermen, Wang Erniu gave some silver, begged him to send the two back, disturbed a while, the fisherman agreed, Zheng Tao did not say a word, ignored the remarks of the two, and thought that it was all fake, and he should watch the show.

An hour later, the two returned to the county office, the county magistrate had been promoted, he saw Zheng Tao, and said: "Zheng Tao, you came just in time, today's official's illness has been cured, and the case will be heard. ”

After a night of wind and cold, Zheng Tao learned to be obedient, and he did not have the sense of superiority of the Fu Yin Cha people, so he sat on the side, took a pen and ink and prepared to record.

After a while, Zhao Hu came in and said, "Xianggong, the plaintiff Ximen Qing brought it." ”

"The grass people greet the minister!" Ximenqing came in very calmly and saluted.

The magistrate said: "Ximenqing, you sued Wuda for fraud, which alarmed Fu Yin, and Lord Liu attaches great importance to it, so that the official invited you to come and state the case, so that Lord Fu Yin can understand." ”

"Yes, the villain's mother is 70 years old, and she invited Wu Da to be the chef and signed a contract, stating that if she left halfway, she would compensate the villain for 1,000 taels of silver, but he left for no reason, and the birthday banquet was terminated, so that the mother of the family was angry and fell ill in bed, and the guests complained, and the villain lost thousands of taels of silver, so he sued Wu Da!"

Ximen Qing was fearless, and said very proudly, he had already learned that Pan Jinlian was not dead, and he thought that he would make Wu Dalang half dead this time, to see if Pan Jinlian was from or not!

"Ximenqing, you're talking about your mother's seventieth birthday, right?" asked the magistrate.

"Not bad!"

Syllable!

The magistrate suddenly slapped the wood, which frightened Ximenqing, but he still calmed down and secretly glanced at the magistrate, but he didn't know why.

"Okay, you Ximenqing, you dare to talk nonsense in this official hall, come on, beat him with fifty sticks!"

"Xianggong, the villain is the plaintiff, you don't ask the reason for the beating, it's unreasonable, if you are so partial to Wuda, even if the villain sues Dongping Mansion, he is not afraid!"

"Okay, Zhang Long, you can show Ximenqing the evidence you brought back from Lianhua County!"

Hearing the words "Lianhua County", the tip of Ximenqing's nose began to sweat, Zhang Long took a rubbing, and left Ximenqing three feet, he was afraid of destroying the evidence for Ximenqing, and said: "Ximenqing, look, this is rubbing at the tombstone of your ancestor in Lianhua County, and Hong Jiao on it is your mother's name?"

Zhang Long didn't wait for him to answer, took out a salallow booklet, and said: "You should recognize, this is the genealogy of your Ximen family, I borrowed it from your clan elders, it is clearly written that your father Ximen Gong married the second wife Hong Jiao, and gave birth to a son, Ximen Qing, which proves that Hong Jiao is your biological mother, she died of illness five years ago, and your hometown brothers can testify." ”

The magistrate looked at Zheng Tao and said, "Zheng Tao, can you record it?"

"The villain has been recorded!"

"Ximenqing, your contract is written about your mother's seventieth birthday, but your mother has been dead for five years, so there is no such thing, you used fictitious facts to deceive Wu Da to sign the contract, and then blackmailed him with a thousand taels of silver, this matter has been conclusively proven, what else can you say!"

"Xianggong, that Qin Siniang is indeed the mother of the villain, but she is just a godmother!" Ximenqing's mind turned quickly.

"Bold!" The magistrate was shocked and scolded: "The official asked you if it was your mother's birthday, and you have already admitted it, but at this moment, you are talking back, come on, beat!"

When Wang Erniu heard this, he didn't wait for the catch to do it quickly, he rushed forward, kicked him at the crook of Ximenqing's foot, kicked him down, pressed his back, and shouted: "Wang Bin Ma Qiang, don't do it yet!"

These two people are Wang Erniu's henchmen, and they immediately took the water and fire sticks and fought desperately, Wang Erniu leaned down and whispered in Ximenqing's ear: "Daguan, herbal tea sometimes chokes people to death!"

This beating with a stick made Ximenqing faint twice, and the magistrate made people take the charge, Wang Erniu couldn't help but say, grabbed Ximenqing's hand and drew a charge.

The magistrate said: "Wang Dutou, you have been handling cases for more than 30 years, how do you think this case should be judged?"

"Back to Xianggong, the villain believes that the Great Song Dynasty since Emperor Taizu, is to establish the country with martial virtue, the most important thing is the reputation, the so-called promise, the current court is also ordered to severely punish the untrustworthy people, and the Lord Yin came to the official letter saying that to set an example, the best is to escort Ximenqing to Dongping Mansion to the Lord Yin to deal with. ”

However, he is from Yanggu County, and he is also subject to the laws and regulations of Yanggu County, he blackmailed Wuda with 1,000 taels of silver, so he asked him to compensate 2,000 taels of silver, and Wuda suffered four days in prison, and compensated him 400 taels of silver, and the rest went to the public family. ”
