Chapter 75: The Majesty of the Reader
In the evening, in the study of Fei Mansion, Fei Hong finished reading the letter from Liu Qingyuan of Zhixian County, and said with a smile: "Liu Youjie coincides with us, Xiao Xu, you can also take a look at this letter." ”
Xu Jin took the letterhead and read it, it turned out that what Liu Qingyuan's letter wrote turned out to be the increase in the price of grain and medicine in Shangrao County, and also listed some clues, suspecting that someone was fornicating with bandits, and suggested that Fei Hong try to notify Governor Sun who was suppressing bandits in Leadshan County.
There is also no signature on the back of this letter, which shows that Liu Qingyuan is indeed a cautious person, of course, this also reflects that Liu Qingyuan's current situation is probably a little bad, and nine times out of ten he is also being monitored, otherwise there is no need to go to the academy to meet Xu Jin in the name of the mountain chief, and then ask Xu Jin to send the letter to Fei Hong.
"Great, Liu Zhixian lives up to the name of moderation, and he is not complicit with Lu Kang and others!" Fei Cai said happily.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and the voice of the maidservant Hongying came in: "Master, it's the second young master, saying that there is an emergency!" ”
"Let him in!" Fei Hong raised his voice.
Fei Maozhong pushed the door and walked in, and said hurriedly: "Dad, Dabao just came back and was a little injured." ”
Fei Hong frowned and said: "Minshou, how many times has my father said you, you must have calm in all major events, when can you change your rough temperament." ”
Fei Maozhong was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Dad has to teach you a lesson, and the child should remember." ”
"Tell me, what's going on?" Fei Hong asked slowly.
Fei Maozhong said: "Dabao rode out of the city to Xujia Village today, but he encountered a thief who robbed the road halfway, fell off the horse, and suffered a little injury on his leg. ”
Fei Cai frowned and said: "How can this be reasonable, this public security is getting worse and worse, is Dabao seriously injured, have you invited a doctor?" ”
"The injury is not very serious, but the ankle is sprained, but this kid is clever and has not lost his life." Fei Maozhong rejoiced.
Xu Jin couldn't help but move in his heart, was this a coincidence, and asked, "Minshou, where is Dabao now?" ”
"This kid was covered in mud, and he walked dozens of miles back to the city, and it was miserable, and I had already told him to go down to wash and rest."
"Let him come to the study, the old man should ask carefully!" Fei Hong obviously also had suspicions, just yesterday he talked about the fact that Fei Mansion might have been closely monitored by King Ning's eyes, but today he sent a family out of the city and was robbed, which is also too coincidental.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ding Dabao rushed to the study, had already changed into a clean clothes, and was obviously a little lame when he walked, but it was difficult for him to walk dozens of miles back to the city.
"I've seen two masters!" Da Bao knelt down and said miserably: "The little one almost can't come back today." ”
Fei Hong has always been generous to his subordinates, and said with a pleasant face: "Dabao, get up and talk, and tell me in detail." ”
Dabao stood up and told the story of today's robbery, and finally rejoiced: "Those two thieves who robbed the road looked fierce and vicious, but I didn't expect to let go of the small one in the end." ”
Don't look at most of the thieves who cut the path in "Water Margin", they only robbed money and did not kill their lives, but the actual situation in ancient times was just the opposite, in order not to expose themselves, the bandits not only robbed money and sex but also robbed lives, which was quite cruel.
Moreover, some bandits were originally nearby mountain people, usually plowing the fields and hunting, and occasionally making a cameo appearance as a bandit to make extra money, in order to avoid revealing their identity, they will choose to kill people afterwards, so when they encounter a bandit robbery, they are definitely lucky to pick up their lives in the end.
"Steward Zhou, take Dabao down to rest and give him a reward of 100 yuan!" Fei Hong waved his head.
After Steward Zhou took the family Ding Dabao down, Fei Hong stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, looked at Xu Jin, and asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?" ”
Xu Jin said: "The students think that eight times out of ten this matter was done by the people under King Ning, how can ordinary bandits ask where the bitter master is going and what he wants to do?" ”
Fei Hong and Fei Cai nodded, both of them thought so, and were secretly glad that they had listened to Xu Jin's words yesterday and did not send someone to Leadshan County to send a letter to Governor Sun, otherwise the letter would have fallen into the hands of thieves at this time.
Fei Cai reminded: "Xiao Xu, in this situation, you should be more careful when you return to the village in the eighth year, King Ning's son is violent and his father, maybe he will take the opportunity to retaliate." ”
"That's it, then the old man will ask Zhao Xing, the martial artist of the nursing home, to bring two nursing homes with him to protect your safety." Fei Hong was simply authentic.
This time, Xu Jin did not refuse, as the so-called prevention is better than the slightest, a few more helpers who know martial arts are naturally safer, and nodded and said: "Thank you, Master Fei!" ”
Xu Jin left Fei Mansion and returned home, and the business of the haggis shop was still very weak today.
When Xu Jin walked into the store, Er Niu was bored with a rag to catch flies, and the little slave sat on the small bench behind the stove and watched with relish the new chapter of "Shooting the Condor" that Xu Jin had recently written silently.
"Uncle Ten, if this continues, our haggis noodle shop will be closed!" The second cow hummed and said authentically.
Now Erniu is the official partner and bodyguard in the store, Xu Jin gave him a salary of one or two silver per month, which is much better than farming in the village, although Erniu is simple, but he is not stupid, he naturally cherishes this job very much, and he is also anxious when he sees that the business in the store is not good.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Erniu, you can endure loneliness in order to keep the prosperity, don't worry, it will be fine!" ”
The little slave who was immersed in the novel subconsciously looked up at Xu Jin, who had exploded golden sentences again, muttered a few times about loneliness and prosperity, and continued to read!
"Where's Xiaowan?" Xu Jin didn't see Xie Xiaowan, so he couldn't help asking.
"There's not much business in the store, and my aunt has gone to the back of the house to make dinner!" Erniu replied with a hum.
At this moment, a person walked in, Xu Jin thought that a guest had come in, and was about to say hello, but found that it was Aunt Qian who was fired by himself some time ago.
"Ouch, Boss Xiao Xu, you are really idle, I can't be busy over there, I really envy you!" Aunt Qian twisted her big ass and said triumphantly.
The little slave stood up and said disdainfully: "Don't brag, you can't be busy and have time to come here, just the fishy haggis in your store, don't give it to the master for nothing!" ”
Aunt Qian's face was slightly stiff, indeed, in addition to the excitement in the first two days, the business in her store was actually not good.
The fact that those coachmen in the carriage and horse shop did not dare to patronize Xu Jin's haggis shop due to the pressure of not being in charge did not mean that they had to go to Aunt Qian's shop to eat.
"Phew, where did you come from, when is it your turn to talk here, get out of the way!"
The little slave was picked up by Xu Jin's family, Aunt Qian naturally knew it, and she was not treated by the little slave when she was helping in the store before, so she "turned over and became the master" at this time, so she naturally straightened her waist and scolded the little slave.
The little slave suddenly looked like a fried kitten, staring at Aunt Qian fiercely, and said angrily: "Say another bastard?" ”
If it was Xu Jin, Aunt Qian might still have a concern, after all, she is a scholar, and she is also the head of the government test, maybe she will be an official in the future, but what is the little slave, she forked her bucket waist and sneered: "What's the matter, the old lady said that you are a little bastard, you dare to bite me...... Yikes! ”
Before Aunt Qian finished speaking, she received a big ear shave on her face, and Xu Jin beat it!
Aunt Qian covered her face and looked at Xu Jin in amazement, and was stunned for two seconds before screaming, "Little miscellaneous...... You...... You dare to hit the old lady! ”
Xu Jin shook his hand and said lightly: "Which green onion are you, dare to spread wild here, Erniu, throw her out!" ”
"Okay!" Erniu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to hold the back collar of Aunt Qian, whose nearly 200-pound body was lifted up like a chicken.
Bang......
Aunt Qian flew out on the spot, and her huge ass made intimate contact with the ground, almost breaking in two.
"Ouch......!" It took Aunt Qian to breathe for a moment, and let out a heart-rending scream: "Beat someone, the first person in the government trial case is beating!" ”
"You're the one who hit you!" The little slave rushed out and kicked Aunt Qian a few times, kicking her head and screaming miserably.
"Little slave, come back, it's almost done!" Xu Jin beckoned, this kind of foolish woman who doesn't know what to do, just teach it a lesson.
The little slave kicked Aunt Qian's ass again, and then returned to the store stupidly and scolded: "Slut, dare to scold Ben...... Master bastard, it's a long life, get out! ”
"There is no royal law, the head of the government trial case can be arrogant and beat people for no reason, the old lady will go to the county government to sue you!" Aunt Qian got up in embarrassment, scolding and scolding.
Xu Jin said calmly: "Xu is the head of the case, a member of the court, how can he be humiliated by you, a grass woman, just go to sue the official and see whose board the county lord beats." ”
Aunt Qian suddenly shut up, the status of a scholar is already high, not to mention that Xu Jin is the head of the government examination, and he has the identity of a child, plus Aunt Qian came to provoke first, and she deserved to be beaten, so she can only talk about it when she goes to the county office.
Aunt Qian obviously understood this, and turned around and left stupidly, she originally wanted to come over this time, and by the way, she asked Xie Xiaowan for the secret recipe for spiced haggis, but who knew that the secret recipe was not successful, but she was beaten instead.
"A scholar is majestic, and he can be justified when he beats someone!" Er Niu Han said with a smile.
Xu Jin didn't bother to pay attention to this fool, touched the little slave's brain, and said lightly: "Calm down, be calm when you encounter something, don't let emotions dominate your behavior." ”
The little slave nodded as if she didn't understand, and the anger on her little face quietly disappeared.
"Xianggong, what's going on?" Xie Xiaowan walked out of the back house, still wearing an apron.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "It's okay, a sow just came and was driven away by Erniu, lady, can you eat, Xianggong is hungry!" ”
The little slave and the second cow both laughed!
Xie Xiaowan glanced at someone, and Xianggong was talking nonsense again, she had clearly heard Aunt Qian's voice just now, where did the sow come from, and said angrily: "Come on, you can eat it right away!" ”
Anyway, there was no business, Xu Jin simply asked Erniu to close the door and go back to the back house to eat together.
