Chapter 89: Zhizhou Doorman
Luo Jing rode a gray donkey, took two errands, and walked slowly and leisurely on the country road. On the side of the road was a large newly dug ditch, several feet of water, and the edge of the ditch was covered with flowering reeds. Occasionally, there are lotus flowers planted by villagers, and the lotus leaves have dried up.
Luo Jing was in a good mood, he came to Yongcheng County for less than a month, and he was appreciated by the magistrate of the county, and he worked as a post in the camp field, which was not an opportunity that could be encountered casually. The post is a clerical officer, generally without a quota, set up by the county, and has a relatively high status among the officials.
When Luo Jing was enjoying the scenery on the side of the road, there was a sudden sound of horses riding. Looking up, I saw the three horsemen in front of me rushing over, and before I could see clearly what the figure was, I had already arrived in front of me.
Luo Jing's gray donkey walked in the middle of the road, opposite the oncoming fast horse. The horse stopped abruptly in front of Luo Jing, and immediately a middle-aged man waved a whip in his hand, slammed it on Luo Jing's body, and shouted: "What a pinch of birds, block grandpa's horse in the middle of the road!" ”
Luo Jing was in pain, screamed, covered his arm that was drawn, and couldn't help shouting: "Why are you so arrogant, I go my own way, why do I stand in your way?" If you don't agree with each other, you will beat someone, is there no royal law? ”
The two messengers behind Luo Jing heard Luo Jing's scolding, and immediately came to the boldness, stepped forward to stop the horse together, and said in their mouths: "What a big courage, Pegasus on the road, and hurt people!" Needless to say, take it to the village in front of you and fight this guy! ”
Hearing this, the knight immediately sneered, the whip in his hand fell headless and facelessly, and he said in his mouth: "This group of splashes also dare to touch grandpa's moldy head!" Grandpa is in the northwest thousands of thieves come and go freely, and someone dares to block the road in this kind of place! ”
The two officers were beaten hard, jumped to dodge, and said: "Oh no, I met a robber during the day!" Hurry up and report to the inspection village! ”
At this moment, the two horses behind slowly came over. A gray-clothed man walking in front, who looked to be in his fifties, had a goatee under his chin, his face was a little gloomy, and he said unhurriedly: "What to report to the Inspection Division!" We are the guests of the Xianggong of the Zhizhou of this state, and we have been instructed by the Xianggong to come to check the grain of this autumn in the camp. If you wait to block the road, you should be killed! Don't hurry up and get out of the way! ”
When Luo Jing heard this, he knew that the people of Zhizhou couldn't be provoked, so he endured the pain and stepped forward and arched his hand: "In Xia Luojing, it is the camp field affairs department, and when I learned that the county minister ordered me, I also came here to check the autumn grain." I don't know my brother's surname? ”
The man raised his head and looked at Tiandao: "I am the person who knows the state and has been by my side for many years, can you ask casually?" Since you are a person in the camp field, go and report to your magistrate as soon as possible, and let them come to the camp and field affairs and listen to the instructions! ”
When these words came out, the two servants next to him trembled with fright, and said in a loud voice: "The magistrate of the county and the official of the imperial court, the official of the Zhengbang Jinshi, how can he be called by a house slave to drink!" This man is already dead when he talks like this, and we take him to the county office! ”
The knight who had beaten people before on the side shouted angrily: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, and they dare to arrange my supervisor, I really don't know how to write dead words!" ”
As he spoke, the whip in his hand came down again without a head or face.
The two officers ducked to the side. One said: "This guy's whip is like a long eye, so powerful!" The other said: "We can't fight him, go to the Thirteen Lang in Daliushu Village and take these birds!" ”
As they spoke, the two fled as they could. The servants were all from the nearby villages, familiar with the nearby roads, and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the errand officer had run far away, leaving him alone, Luo Jing was a little flustered, and stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, since you have come to the county to check the autumn grain of the camp field, why don't you go to the county office, and send someone to help you take a look together." There's an official underneath you—"
"You're busy with official affairs, I'm not! - Come, take this guy, go to the front village together, and wait for the magistrate to come. is so poor and remote, and you have to cross the river to go to the county office, do you have nothing to do! ”
As he spoke, the supervisor commanded his subordinates and surrounded Luo Jing. The big man who beat people stretched out his arm, grabbed Luo Jing lightly, and grabbed Luo Jing on his horse and placed it horizontally in front of him. The other person raised his leg and kicked Luo Jing's gray donkey with a "bang" and ran to the side of the road.
The supervisor looked at Luo Jing coldly, and said, "There happens to be a camp official, which saves us a lot of effort." Let's go to the front village, and go to the county to inform the county and check the autumn grain with us. This kind of poor place in the countryside can't stay for long! ”
After saying that, he urged his horse first and walked towards the village in front.
An Saburo looked at the beans in his field, picked up a radish in his hand, and walked towards the village. Most of the families in the village grow millet, and they only grow one crop a year. Some plant a season of wheat after harvesting millet, then soybeans, and then millet. In this era, whether it is soil power or manpower, it does not support extensive planting of two seasons a year, and it is very good to be able to grow three crops in two years. An Saburo is a capable person, he suffered too much when he was a child, and now he has land to work day and night. Ten acres of his family were planted with beans, and after the beans were harvested, he would plant wheat.
The radish is planted casually in the ground, and it is not usually managed, but I didn't expect some to grow up.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me. An Saburo stood on the side of the road, turned to look back, and saw three fast horses galloping towards him. When I got closer, I saw a person on the front one. The man himself knew that it was Luo Jing, the new Tisi in the camp and field affairs.
The three fast horses came to a stop in front of Anzaburo, and the supervisor of the goatee asked, "This man, what village is in front of you?" ”
An Saburo said: "This is Daliushu Village. If you see it, there are a few big willow trees at the entrance of the village, which is a mark. Guest officer, you are immediately horizontally Luo Tiesi of the camp and field, why were the people in the yamen arrested by you? ”
The director shouted, "Ask so much what to do!" We were sent by the governor of the state to see the autumn grain, and we quickly called the Baozheng of your village to come out! ”
An Saburo saw that the faces of several people were not good, no matter what he said, he said: "Everyone come with me, I will take you to see Baozheng." ”
The director snorted coldly, followed a few people behind An Saburo, and slowly walked towards the village.
Baozheng Guan Chaoyin was picking winter melons in front of his house, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he raised his eyes and saw An Saburo bringing three people on horseback.
Getting closer, Guan Chaoyin asked, "San Lang, who are these guests?" Where did it come from? ”
An Saburo shook his head and said, "They said that the governor sent him down to check the autumn grain and arrested Luo Tisi in the yamen, and I don't know why." What do we Xiaomin know about the official things, and brought them to see Baozheng. ”
The supervisor looked at the fence courtyard of Guan Chaoyin's house, the three grass houses, which were very simple, and felt disgusted in his heart.
Guan Chaoyin put down the winter melon in his hand, stepped forward and arched his hand: "The small one is the village Baozheng, and the official said that it was sent by the governor of the state, but what evidence do you have?" The little ones have been inspected, and when you go to report to the yamen, there will be a public servant who will come to see you. ”
The director said impatiently: "We are the ministers of Zhizhou, what kind of credentials do we need!" I was hungry on the road, you old man, kill a chicken and buy a bottle of wine, we will eat it, and then we will go to the yamen together. Hurry up and fix it, don't delay our journey! ”
As he spoke, the supervisor led a few people to turn over and dismount.
