Chapter 44: Fault (Three Watches Seeking Votes)
Lei Tianluo and the three of them left the General's Mansion, and the entire Daxing City was devastated. Early in the morning, there were all kinds of mourning sounds.
Several people went to the largest pharmacy in Daxing City, which was already full of injuries and patients, and the outside of the store was already crowded. At the door of the pharmacy, there were seven or eight tall and mighty men, blocking everyone outside. A seriously injured old man knelt outside and shouted inside: "Shopkeeper Ye, you can do it, give me some gold sore medicine, my child is dying." Both of my children died on the battlefield, if even the youngest could not be saved...... My home...... My house is about to run out of incense...... Shopkeeper Ye, please, do well......"
The old man was kneeling outside crying, but a middle-aged man with a big waist came out of the pharmacy. This man walked up to the old man in a few steps, kicked him on the forehead, and shouted: "It's not bad luck to come to my door early in the morning to cry and mourn! Old man Ding, let me tell you, I'm opening a store to do business, as long as you have money, you want as much as you want in the store, and if you don't have money, then get out of here!"
Old man Ding, who was already thin, was kicked by this kick and rolled on the ground several times, coughing heartbreakingly.
The middle-aged man with a big waist and a round waist is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy. He looked at the people outside the store and said: "The old folks have been harassed by the rebels, and they have more or less hung up some colors, I know this, Ye is also very distressed", he said distressed, but his fat face did not show any distress, "But the villagers should also know that I opened a store to make a profit, if anyone is slightly injured, they will come to me to take medicinal materials for nothing, then do I want to open this store?"
Old man Ding coughed and said: "Shopkeeper Ye, my child was slashed on the body with a knife, it was not a minor injury, if there was no medicine to stop bleeding, it really wouldn't work, Shopkeeper Ye, you can do well......"
"Phew!" shopkeeper Ye said disdainfully, "You old man, you are used to making a big fuss, and being slashed is called a serious injury?" Old man Ding, I warn you, if you don't have money, get out of here, otherwise I'll let you know what a serious injury is!"
Lei Tianluo smiled bitterly, and saw that the old man was very pitiful, and he couldn't bear it, so he was about to step forward. Lei Tianluo grabbed him and said in a low voice: "If you are not familiar with life, don't be strong." Besides, there were so many rebels last night, and this pharmacy is okay with nothing at all, so it is impossible not to have a backer in the back, so don't get into trouble. ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his arms, looked at the gap, and threw it in front of Old Man Ding unconsciously. The old man was crying, and suddenly saw an extra piece of gold beside him, suspecting that he was dreaming, so he hurriedly wiped away his tears, pinched himself, and found that it was not a dream, and hurriedly kowtowed to the surrounding crowd: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
After three knocks, he was about to pick up the gold on the ground, but he didn't want to just stretch out his hand, which had already been trampled on by one foot, and suddenly there was a burst of pain. He looked up, but saw the shopkeeper Ye bending down and picking up the gold in his hand. He turned back to his subordinates and scolded, "Who the hell threw out Lao Tzu's gold? Do you want to mix it up in my shop?"
As he spoke, he turned and walked back. Old man Ding hugged Shopkeeper Ye's calf and begged, "Shopkeeper Ye, this is obviously a kind-hearted person who bought medicine for me, you can't take it." ”
Shopkeeper Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, who threw you to buy medicine? You pointed it out and showed it to me?"
Old man Ding pleaded: "Shopkeeper Ye, you have also got the money, just give me some medicine, you can do well, I will kowtow to you!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again. Shopkeeper Ye didn't even look at him, kicked him to the ground again, and said, "It's my money, why should I give you medicinal herbs? Are you a fool to me?" Snorted coldly, Shopkeeper Ye returned to the door of the pharmacy and said as if pointed, "It's mine, it's mine." If anyone owes me anything and does not give it to me, I will surely let him live in peace for the rest of his life. If anyone has nothing to do and take care of my affairs, I advise him to polish his eyes first and take a good look at it first, my plaque, who mentioned it!"
Lei Tianluo looked up to see that the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque were written with the four big characters of "Jishi Good Prescription", and the name of "Shu Xujie" was prominently mentioned on the inscription next to it.
This made Lei Tianluo a little curious, seeing Shu Xujie's demeanor in the morning, he felt that he should not be able to have such subordinates at all. Hearing that the shopkeeper Ye seemed to have something to say, he pulled the person on the side and asked, "What did the fat man say just now, what do you mean?"
The man next to him was startled, hurriedly covered Lei Tianluo's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Ouch, my eldest brother, how dare you call him fat! If he hears it, you will be worse than Old Man Ding! Shopkeeper Ye is taboo for others to say that he is fat, you can take it easy." If you want to talk about this old man, he also blames himself. ”
Lei Tianluo said curiously: "What do you mean to blame himself? What did he do to make Shopkeeper Ye not save his child when he died?"
The man said, "Blame himself for having two beautiful girls!"
It turned out that the shopkeeper Ye had taken a fancy to Old Man Ding's eldest daughter and wanted to marry her as a concubine. Because the wife of the shopkeeper Ye came to die one by one, everyone said that he was a wife, so of course the old man Ding refused, and let his three sons knock the shopkeeper Ye out of the house. Later, Shopkeeper Ye thought of a way to let the army take away Old Man Ding's eldest son as a strong man and died on the battlefield.
Then, the shopkeeper Ye threatened that if Old Man Ding didn't marry his eldest daughter to him as a concubine, he would drag his second son to fight again. Old man Ding had no choice, so he married his eldest daughter to Shopkeeper Ye as a concubine. However, the girl was sent over the first day, and the body was returned the next day. It turned out that Shopkeeper Ye liked to abuse women, and the eldest daughter of the poor old man Ding was twenty-eight years old, and she had no personnel, so she could stand the torture of Shopkeeper Ye, so she died.
Originally, if you die, you will die, and everything will be over. But the shopkeeper Ye still didn't give up, saying that it was the eldest daughter of Old Man Ding, who couldn't enjoy a good life, and lived up to his hard work. However, since Old Man Ding has promised to marry his daughter to himself, since the eldest daughter is dead, he will marry the younger daughter as a concubine.
His youngest daughter is only thirteen years old, and if she follows the shopkeeper Ye, she will definitely die. So Old Man Ding fled with his family overnight. But halfway through, he was blocked by the shopkeeper Ye. not only killed Old Man Ding's wife, but also sent Old Man Ding's second son to fight. Although I later heard that Old Man Ding's second son was killed in battle, everyone speculated that he was directly killed by Shopkeeper Ye's subordinates.
Now in Old Man Ding's house, he is left with a son and a daughter to rely on each other.
After listening to this, Lei Tianluo asked curiously: "Since Shopkeeper Ye is so powerful, why didn't he just snatch Old Man Ding's daughter?
The man smiled bitterly and said: "In the entire Daxing City, except for the General's Mansion, Shopkeeper Ye has entered an ordinary person's house, who dares to blow him out? Old Man Ding's mistake is that there are two beautiful girls who make trouble, and the fault is that he dares to let his three sons knock Shopkeeper Ye out of the house. That's why Shopkeeper Ye will hold a grudge against their family, and he will slowly torture and take revenge. ”
Lei Tianluo and Fu Yuan looked at each other, and they couldn't believe it. The first one who couldn't believe it was the evil deeds of the shopkeeper Ye, and the second one who couldn't believe it was the person who commented on it, who said from beginning to night that Old Man Ding was wrong.
Old man Ding has two beautiful daughters, what kind of fault is it? Old man Ding feels sorry for his daughter, and he doesn't want the son-in-law of Shopkeeper Ye, so what is the fault of blasting him out of his house?
If these are all faults, it can only be said that Shopkeeper Ye has long been accustomed to being powerful in Daxing City on weekdays, and everyone has become accustomed to it, if someone resists, it is a mistake. Even if your son and daughter are killed by him and choose to resist, it is your fault.
Lei Tianluo raised his head, looked at the plaque with the words "Shu Xujie" written on it, and sighed slightly.
