Chapter 4 The thoughts of serving the country are small
Hearing this, Erhan did not hesitate at all, drew his knife, stepped forward, and waved his knife.
The white light is like practice, and it disappears in a flash.
The little flag didn't even have time to show surprise on his face.
A human head fell to the ground and rolled down to the side of the road with a "grunt".
Blood spurted from the corpse's neck like a fountain, and the road was stained red.
Everyone is stupid, who would have thought that the officials in the car would be so ruthless and kill people when they say they kill?
The onlookers were suddenly frightened and scattered, in their opinion, Wu Zheng was far more terrifying than these dozen or so rebels.
The three bitter masters on the side of the carriage over there were frightened and looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and the fear in their eyes was even stronger.
Wu Zheng stretched out his head and said to the already stupid rebels: "You have been requisitioned by this official, and from today onwards you will be the official servant." ”
At this time, a bold rebel took a step forward tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Great ...... The adults and the small ones are the soldiers of the Wujiang Guard. ”
Wu Zheng waved his hand and said: "In the autumn of war, the national disaster is at the head, and the official requisitioned the deserters to survey the chaos, which is already the grace of not killing, even the commander of your family can't say anything, so the matter is decided." ”
That's it? Which house's rules?
The group of rebels opened their mouths and were unhappy, but they really didn't dare to speak out against it.
Wu Zheng glanced at it and said: "However, this official will not send you in vain, from today on, in addition to the salary of the imperial court, this official will give you two taels of silver every month as a subsidy, how about it?" ”
Jiangnan is rich in grain, even if there is a war now, two taels of silver is enough to buy two stones (one stone is about 180 catties) of japonica rice, which can feed a family of four or five.
And ordinary people have an annual income of only a dozen taels.
So after hearing Wu Zheng's words, the eyes of the rebel who had just spoken lit up and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"The official counts when he speaks, and it will be settled at the end of each month, but if he doesn't send it for three consecutive months, he can leave on his own, and the official will never be embarrassed."
The rebel turned back and whispered to the rest of the group.
Then they all turned around and knelt down on one knee to Wu Zheng and said, "I am willing to obey the orders of the adults." ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Very good." Let's go and bury the three bodies first. ”
"Yes." The rebel answered, but he wanted to stop talking.
"If you have something to say, say it."
The rebel pointed to the package on Xiaoqi's corpse and said, "My lord, the package ......." ”
Wu Zheng stretched out his head and looked, "Xiao An, go and see what's in the package?" ”
Xiao An responded, stepped forward and unwrapped the package from the corpse, took it in his hand, and then carried it back, saying, "Young master, there is some money in it." ”
"Open it and take a look."
Xiao An unwrapped the package, and inside was a pile of broken silver, about thirty or forty taels.
Wu Zheng turned to the young man and asked, "Is this your package?" ”
The middle-aged family member next to the young man stepped forward and responded, "Back to adults, no." ”
At this time, the rebels standing beside Wu Zheng stepped forward and said, "My lord, this is Xiaoqi from the people passing by...... Robbed. ”
With so much broken silver, it is definitely not to rob one or two people, but a dozen, or even dozens.
Wu Zheng looked around, and it was obvious that he couldn't find the bitter master.
So he thought for a moment and said, "That's it, let's take it and share it with your comrades." ”
The chaotic soldier was overjoyed, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”
Holding the package and the others, he went to dig a pit and bury the body.
Wu Zheng turned his head and beckoned to the brocade-clothed boy, "This son, come forward and speak." ”
I didn't want to, but the beautiful maid next to the young man took a step forward and shouted at Wu Zheng: "You...... How are you staying? ”
Wu Zheng is angry and funny, just then the soldiers killed and looted, and I didn't see her so brave.
Now that he has saved them, he has become arrogant to himself.
Do you have a face that is being bullied? Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, after crossing over, he really hadn't seen his own face.
However, Wu Zheng didn't want to meet the servant girl in general, so he ignored her.
Fortunately, the young man was still a person of etiquette, he gently brushed away the beautiful maid, stepped forward and said, "What do you command?" The adult killed a registered Ming army banner without trial, this should be regarded as a violation of the law, right? ”
What kind of world is this, Xiaoqi robbed and killed, he didn't pursue it as a bitter master, he saved people and killed people, but he was blamed.
Wu Zheng looked carefully, this young man had big eyes, a nose upright, and a delicate appearance, but his eyes were now full of contempt.
Wu Zheng really doesn't understand, is this master and servant a person who doesn't distinguish between good and bad?
It's really stupid to read.
"What is the name of this son, where is the family, and where do you want to go?"
"Lord Hui, in the next surname Zhou, the first name is ...... Simin. Jinling people's clan. I want to go to Hangzhou to join my family. ”
Wu Zheng asked casually: "Li Shimin's Shimin?" ”
No, Zhou Simin said hatefully: "No." The small ones think about serving the country, and the people are full of grievances. ”
Wu Zhengzhi understands that this is not only a stupid nerd who reads books, but also a fucking angry young man.
What he meant was nothing more than accusing Wu Zheng of killing that little banner without permission.
Wu Zheng didn't want to entangle with him, so he said: "Since the son is safe, you can leave on your own, if you want to report to the official, you can go to Zhenze County in front, or go back to Wujiang County to complain, if the government wants to collect evidence, you can go to Wuzhuang, Shining Town, Shangyu County, Shaoxing Mansion to find the official." ”
"Dare to ask your lordship's name."
"Wu Zheng." After speaking, Wu Zheng put down the curtain of the car, "Xiao Anzi, set off on the road." ”
"Yes, young master."
Zhou Simin suddenly shouted: "The gentleman has no quarrel? ”
"Nope. Lawlessness, competitiveness. Wu Zheng replied in the carriage with a wicked taste.
The carriage moved slowly, and there were nine more people behind it.
Looking at the shadow of the car, Zhou Shimin stomped his foot hatefully, "Grass cares about human life, and he is another dog official!" ”
The middle-aged family member who had not spoken behind him stepped forward and said: "Son, this sentry is from Shaoxing Mansion, I will go to Hangzhou Mansion to join my relatives, it is better to follow them, and I can take care of them." ”
"I don't want to go with this dog." But after speaking, he thought of the thrill he had just experienced, and his face turned pale, so he changed his words: "That...... Then follow from afar. ”
Wu Zheng was injured, and the carriage was not fast.
I walked for about an hour.
Wu Zheng closed his eyes in the car to recuperate.
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Xiao An said on the side of the car: "Young master, seeing that the sky is getting dark, there is a small town in front of you, why don't you find an inn to stay overnight and set off early tomorrow morning?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "It's okay." ”
After a while, the group came to the door of an inn.
With the support of Erhan, Wu Zheng got out of the car.
"Xiao An, go and settle those soldiers."
"Yes. Young master, the young man in brocade followed us all the way. ”
Wu Zheng turned around and saw the carriage coming from afar, and said with a smile: "I guess I'm afraid of encountering another disturbance by the rebels." Leave it alone, let them follow. ”
