A small town in the remote area, looking at the outside in tatters, but inside everything is complete, two main streets run through the southeast and northwest, connecting the four city gates, Xiaotian entered from the west gate, just entered and saw a lively scene, and the quiet and peaceful scene outside is a sharp contrast.

The blue brick paved street, with two horse-drawn carriages running side by side, and a forest of shops and restaurants on the left and right, Xiaotian wondered, "Where did so many people come from in such a remote place," so he asked a guy standing in front of the shop.

As soon as the guy saw Xiaotian, he knew that he was a foreigner, and kindly explained to him, "This guest officer, don't look at our town far away from the imperial city, but our location is good, just in a place where merchants must pass through, from the west gate of the town, there is a canyon, out of the valley can reach Daze, from the north gate, there is a canyon can reach the burning sky." ”

"We are mountainous, the roads are inconvenient, and our town happens to enjoy the benefits of two convenient roads, which is why it is so prosperous, if it were not for the fact that this place is so flat, the town would have been built even bigger. ”

After listening to the man's explanation, Xiaotian realized that he didn't pay attention when he was flying in mid-air, and then he listened to the guy's words, isn't it, there are many merchants in Daze costumes on this street who are either driving carriages or leading servants, walking briskly, busy with their own livelihoods.

Xiaotian thanked the man, seeing that it was still early, he planned to find a hotel first and then go to eat, and walked all the way down the street where this thing was going, looking at the booming shops, selling all kinds of goods, he not only remembered what his grandfather said.

Xiaotian said in his heart, "My grandfather often said that the country can only develop if it is stable, and this is the famous mountain of the sect where the monk is located, and it will also rise and fall from prosperity to death," Xiaotian thought of the righteous qi sect that preached to him, "If they can survive the crisis in peace, I am afraid that it will still exist at this time." ”

"Creation makes people, the old man of the Zhengqi Sect will also save trouble, give me everything as soon as he leaves, you old man is not afraid that I will steal chickens and dogs tomorrow, and give you the inheritance of righteousness, I am now a belly of anger, hey, I am like a wild child that no one wants, no one cares if I am angry, people are patriarchal, and I have changed, why is the crazy girl in my family so favored, there is no reason. ”

Thinking that his sister Xiaoxin is the pearl of the master's palm, herself, even before she offended the dean, she was also excluded everywhere, "Or I will go to Yuehua Academy to get it, and I will suffer from those grandsons." ”

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a cry in front of him, and looked up to see a group of servants escorting an old man forward, and behind him there was a little boy in tattered clothes who was crying and shouting to prevent them from taking his grandfather away.

Seeing this, Xiaotian stopped his steps, and watched from a distance as this group of fierce servants dragged the old man on the ground, and slapped with a scabbard from time to time, this old man was also hard, even if he was bleeding and did not beg for mercy, he turned around and said to his grandson, "Black egg, what are you crying about, the master is not dead, go home, if I don't go back at noon tomorrow, you will do what I taught you before, if you hear it, go back quickly." ”

"Woo, grandpa, I'm not leaving, I'll never see you again as soon as I leave," the child cried while chasing, looking very miserable, and those servants laughed when they heard it, "Yo, let your kid live, you are still not happy, I want to follow your dead ghost grandfather back to the West together, we will be fulfilled and taken away together." ”

After saying that, a servant stepped forward to take the chain and locked the child too, and locked it with his grandfather, and his grandfather jumped to his feet and scolded, "You mud can't support the wall, I went in, you have to put on another one, why are your eyes so real." ”

But the boy smiled and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, don't be afraid, I will protect you," and at this time he was still talking nonsense, his grandfather's beard trembled angrily, he stopped talking, and lowered his head, probably thinking about how to get out.

Originally, Xiaotian wanted to step forward to stop the person and ask the reason before making a decision, but after seeing the little boy's eyes, he retracted his legs, "It's strange, the old man is not old, the child is not a child, what is the situation, there must be a demon when it is abnormal, I will follow and take a look." ”

A group of fierce and vicious servants dragged the chains and took the two of them back to the yamen in the town, and many passers-by followed, wanting to see what was going on, "I said Wu Lao Er, what's wrong with your neighbor, what an honest man, what a crime, it's hard to kill someone, I don't want to think about it, the old and the young, killing chickens may not be able to push the chickens to the ground." ”

Wu Lao Er, who had a floury face, touched his head and said, "I was also wondering, I was making noodles at home, and I heard crying and shouting next door, I thought it was my grandfather beating his grandson, I ran over to take a look, good guys, these poor officials are so horizontal that they smashed the gate to the ground, and pulled the old stone out viciously from the inside, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to come forward." ”

"Those officials are also said to be why they caught the old stone," "What you said, who dares to go up and ask, do you die, you don't know that the mayor of this town is very mixed, anxious, no one will give face, we are old, don't be beaten half to death and have no place to reason, just go and see." ”

"Well, go and see, this old stone is a good person, my poisonous sores have not been cured for many years, and my family has been cured with a pair of medicines, speaking of which, I still owe people a favor, and I have to say a few words for others when the time comes, you and others are neighbors, don't be cowardly when the time comes," "Don't talk too much, if he really commits a murder, you dare to say it." ”

"This, this, let's talk about it when the time comes," the people in this town, whether they have anything to do with the old stone or not, they all came to join in the excitement, and all of a sudden the front door of the yamen was blocked, and the officials on duty came out to maintain order, and then I heard someone inside shouting, "The master has arrived." ”

At this time, a servant shouted, "Quiet," the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, only to see the curtain of the back door inside, and a big fat man walked out, not wearing official uniforms, wearing civilian clothes in the middle hall, did not speak, raised his eyelids, coughed first, looked at the situation outside, smiled contemptuously, and then said, "Shengtang, take someone to commit a crime." ”

There was a chain sound, an old man and a young man were brought to the front of the hall by the officials, "Kneel," the officials snorted coldly, the two men turned over and knelt down, and before the mayor could ask, the old stone immediately opened his mouth and shouted injustice, "Master, I am wronged." ”

I saw that the fat mayor took a sip of tea, slanted a pair of triangular eyes and said, "Wronged, I am also wronged, I am also wronged, I am killing all sides in the gambling game, there are people beating drums and shouting grievances, I will come back quickly, and I will give an order to take people, don't shout, it's not time for you to speak." ”

"Take the plaintiff Qi Qin," a servant shouted loudly, "Take the plaintiff Qi Qin," After a while, a woman walked out of the crowd outside, followed by an old man dressed in rich clothes, and as soon as these two people came to the court, they quickly knelt down and shouted loudly, "Lord Town, Lord Qingtian, please make decisions for the grass people." ”

After speaking, there was a burst of crying, and the mayor's scalp was numb when he heard it, "Don't cry, talk well," and the woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry, and knelt there with low eyebrows, and the mayor rubbed her temples, "It's really unfavorable, I should have served in the county town, but because I offended the dog official, I was sent here." ”

"Although it is rich here, but I have no way to be promoted in my life, damn, it is really a wall that everyone pushes, and now it is not easy to make money, and the previous group of scum have wiped out the relationship, just like Lao Tzu has the plague, hum, villain, don't be complacent, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the master is still young, don't bully the young and poor. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his head, sat up straight, and slapped the startled wood, "Smack," and suddenly a sense of overlord arose, "Qi Qin's family, you said that your husband died of bleeding after eating this old stone's home remedies, but there is such a thing," the woman said with red circles in her eyes, "Yes, master, my husband's ......"

"Don't talk too much, just answer yes or no," the woman swallowed half of her words again, and then the fat mayor asked the old stone, "Old man, let me ask you, you prescribed a pair of medicine to Qi Mazi three days ago," the old man replied, "Yes," "Well, very good, I'll ask you again, what kind of disease did the medicine you prescribed for Qi Mazi cure." ”

Old Shi'er coughed and glanced at the Qi Qin clan, "Back to the old man, it is a cure for the disease of not lifting," "Don't lift, oh," the fat mayor smiled evilly and pulled a long tone, "Old man, you and that Qi Mazi had a grudge before," "This, no, our grandfather has just moved here for less than a year, and the people in this town still don't recognize it, if the master doesn't say it, I don't know that the Mazi is surnamed Qi." ”

"Oh, that's strange, you have no grievances, how can you have such a thing, you must be lying on both sides, so let's do it, you two will tell you what happened first, so that the master can understand the ins and outs of the matter," "Yes," "Yes," both parties agreed.

First of all, the old stone said first, I saw that the old man kneeling there did not lose his previous nervousness, and began to talk about the fact that Qi Mazi came to him to treat hidden diseases, it was one afternoon, the old man and his grandson had just come back from collecting medicine on the mountain, and before they could rest for a while to drink saliva, they heard someone outside the gate pushing the door and came in.

Two people came in, there was an old man who knew him, he had seen a doctor before, and the medicine was removed, the man was happy and grateful, so he sent the old man ten taels of silver, a few jars of wine, and half a fan of pork, and the old man gladly accepted it.
