Chapter Ninety-Six: Injustice
When Chen Shu said goodbye and went down the mountain, Yang Kang and Qiao Feng sent him to the foot of the mountain, and Guo Fu also followed, pulling Yang Kang's clothes and saying, "Mom, I'll go to the north with Uncle Stinky to play, I haven't been there since I was so old." ”
Yang Kang slapped his hand, which scared the little girl away. Qiao Feng brought the black horse that had been snatched from the hemp bones, and said to Chen Shu: "Brother, this horse is not bad, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give it to you." It's a long way to go, so I hope you take care. ”
Chen Shu was about to excuse himself, Qiao Feng shouted: "If you are a good man, don't refuse, what kind of man is my mother-in-law! Hurry up and ride away, if you can catch up with the escort convoy, you don't need to go so far!"
Chen Shu saw that he looked resolute, and knew that this big brother Qiao liked refreshing people the most, so he stopped pushing and said with a smile: "Okay, next time I see big brother, I will get drunk into mud, and I will accompany you to have a good drink." ”
Qiao Feng laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you have to practice your drinking!"
Yang Kang told him a lot of words, and Guo Fu leaned over with tears in his eyes and said, "Uncle Stinky Master, when will you come to Xiangyang, you have to bring me something fun." ”
Chen Shu smiled, turned over on the horse, said goodbye, and galloped away.
He traveled day and night all the way, and within a few days, after Chang'an and Lintong, there were gradually more pedestrians on the road. This is the key way in and out of the customs, although the war has been raging for many years, but it is still very lively.
At noon on this day, I came to a small town called Lingkou. The town is a bit bustling, with a lot of people coming and going on the streets. Chen Shu found a restaurant, asked for wine and food, and was about to eat when he suddenly heard a whining and crying.
He couldn't help but be stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw two tall officials, dragging an old man of fifty or sixty years old down from the upper floor. This cry was made by the old man, and the two officials dragged him with one arm and covered his nose with the other, looking disgusted. Behind them was a white and chubby middle-aged man, shaking a fan in his hand, and shouting angrily: "This stinky old man thinks he is crazy, you teach me a good lesson, don't let this crazy man come out to disturb people again!"
Chen Shu saw that the old man's clothes were tattered and miserable, and he cried even more heartbroken, and his heart suddenly felt sympathy. Suddenly, he heard the two people at the next table looking at the pointing and discussing, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the two gentlemen, who is this old man, and what is going on?"
Seeing that he had a delicate appearance and an extraordinary temperament, the two hurriedly returned the salute, and one of them smiled and said: "The little brother is not from this town, right? It's just that he died by himself, so that he offended the big officials in our town. Tsk, isn't this fun!"
Seeing that these two people looked gloating, Chen Shu nodded and said, "I see, thank you two." Stretched out his palm and slapped it on their table, and with a bang, several dishes jumped up, and even the soup and juice splashed on the heads of the two of them.
Chen Shu ignored the two people's shouts and strode over. The two officials were dragging the old man to the door of the restaurant, Chen Shu rushed forward to stop him, and said politely: "Two big brothers, dare to ask what happened to this old man?"
The two men were stunned and looked at him, and one of them said, "What are you asking about here? Young man, don't be nosy!"
The other shouted, "Get out of the way!" and reached out to push him.
Chen Shu has important things to do, and he doesn't want to delay too much time. Just look at this old man pitiful, if there is any injustice, he will naturally take care of it. He didn't know the inside story and wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that these two people were so arrogant, he was right in the middle of it.
With a wave of his hand, the official who stretched out his hand and pushed it suddenly screamed, and his body flew straight out, hitting the wall next to him with a bang.
The other official changed his face in fright, drew his knife and shouted, "What do you want?
Chen Shu didn't bother to pay attention to him, he stretched out his hand to pull up the old man, and the official raised his knife to slash at him, and with a bang, the knife bounced back, smashing his forehead to the point of blood.
There were not many customers in the restaurant, and when they saw this scene, they all stretched out their heads to watch. Chen Shu saw the old man huddle in a ball, trembling, and couldn't even walk. With a sigh, he picked him up and strode out the door. People came and went on the street, and when they saw this scene, they all looked over in amazement.
Chen Shu didn't pay attention to it, but the old man emitted a stench, which was extremely unpleasant. walked to a remote place and put him down, but saw that the old man's eyes were dull, and he muttered: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue......"
Chen Shu called a few times, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he couldn't help frowning. Just when he was helpless, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and a person hurried over and shouted, "Uncle He!"
When Chen Shu looked back, he saw a young man limping over, his face full of anxiety, and when he saw him, he shouted: "Son, did you save Uncle He?"
The man was short in stature, had a scorched complexion, and was described as somewhat ugly. Chen Shu pointed to the ground and said, "Are you talking about this old man?"
The young man let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "Exactly!" and ran over and squatted down, and called twice, but the old man ignored it.
Chen Shu asked, "May I ask my eldest brother, what happened to this old gentleman? Why did the official arrest him? What can he do if he is so confused?"
The young man sighed, sat down on the spot, patted the vest for the old man, and said, "Childe is a passerby, right? This old man He is the richest man in the town and my family's family friend." My family is in a state of decline, but thanks to Uncle He's many cares, I have been able to live in peace until now. Uncle He is a rare good man, but he has a grudge against the bully in the town. The bully was extremely vicious, a while ago several Jin envoys passed by, he somehow picked up those guys, and occupied all the property of Uncle He, and a big mansion became the palace of the envoys. Uncle He's family of seven was scattered on the streets, but this was just the case, and the envoy of Jin Guoqin fell in love with his little daughter and rushed into the house. Aunt He was angry and sick, and died on the street in the middle of the night. The two sons wanted to rush to take revenge, but they were beaten to death by Jin Bing, and the daughter-in-law ran away with her grandson, and now he is left with madness, lonely, and pitiful. I wanted to provide him well at home, but I didn't expect to go to the street to work today, and he ran out, alas......"
Chen Shu saw that although this person was not very good-looking, his expression was sincere and his eyes were kind, so he couldn't help nodding slightly and asked, "Dare to ask the eldest brother's name?"
The man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the little surname is Deng, and the name is Qing." Gongzi saved Uncle He, who is my benefactor Deng Qing, if he is sent, he will obey him. ”
Chen Shu remained silent and asked, "Where does Xu Xiangping live, and where is your old uncle's old house?"
Deng Qing was slightly stunned and asked, "What does the son want?"
Chen Shu stood up and said loudly: "Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been wiped! Brother Deng, listening to you, you seem to be a reader, you have heard this poem! Get down!"
Speaking of the last three words, he used his internal strength, Deng Qing only felt that his ears were ringing, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it for Old Man He. Hearing a bang, two people fell from the wall next to them, humming and chirping and unable to get up.
Deng Qing's eyes widened, and he was inexplicably shocked. Chen Shu said solemnly: "Brother Deng, since I, Chen Shu, have encountered this matter, I naturally have to take care of it." Since you have a good relationship with this old gentleman, I am afraid that it will also affect you, if you agree, take him out of town first, and go a little farther. I'm going to kill that Xu Xiangping, and I'll come to you after I rescue that girl. ”
Deng Qing's face was full of joy, and said: "It turns out that Gongzi is a martial arts master! I can avenge Uncle He, I will kneel for him to thank Gongzi for his great kindness!"
Chen Shu hurriedly helped him up and said, "You go quickly, if it's late, there will be chaos." He pointed to the two people on the ground and said, "Who are these two?"
Deng Qing said: "This is Xu Xiangping's eyes and ears, I want to see the son's actions, so I came to peep." ”
Chen Shu nodded, listened to Deng Qing say where the Xu family and the He family were located, and made an appointment with him to meet him after leaving the town. He knocked out the two people on the ground and walked away.
He turned around, circled around again, and watched from a distance as Deng Qing helped the old man He and walked out of the town. First, what happened just now was Deng Qing's one-sided statement, which may not be credible, so let's see what he will do. Second, I am afraid that he will be in danger after he leaves.
Seeing that Deng Qing helped Old Man He to go out of the town for a long time, he returned to the town and walked straight to the house.
