Chapter 68: How is this building?
Qingyuanzhuang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Here, it is the residence of Pengcheng merchant Jia Baiqing, although it is called "Zhuang", but it is not outside the city, it is actually an attic.
This building was originally a restaurant, but after being bought by Bai Qing, the old building was razed to the ground and a new building was rebuilt, which became the core of the large and small industries under his command.
However, since the day of the building, there have been many cloth-clothed people wandering in front of the door, and among these people, some of them have yellow and thin faces, shabby clothes, and many down-and-out appearances, pleading outside the village.
"Master Bai, okay, let me go this time, my wife and children don't even have money for food, if you take the deed away again, it will really be a no-brainer!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this lord, are you going to see the white master? Please help me with a word, just say that I Liu Laoqi begged him to let me go, I really have no money to pay back, my mother was angry with me, my wife ran away, there is really nothing! ”
"Master Bai, I have no way to live, if you don't let me go, I can only hang myself!"
……
Around the streets, more than 20 people wandered and pleaded, wailing, and a few people tried to cross the street and rushed towards Qingyuanzhuang, but they couldn't take a few steps before they were stopped by the sturdy nurses and families, and then they were beaten and pushed back directly.
"Phew! Gamblers, unable to control their hands, are still crying here, complaining about our master, and not looking at their own appearance! Besides, Qingyuanzhuang is not a gambling house, so don't come here if you are wild! ”
"It's not fake at all, the gambling house is open to welcome customers, there is money to come in, no money to come, both come, and no money to pay off debts, crying poor here, what old lady died, wife starved to death, didn't they all ask for themselves?"
", you guys, I don't know how many I've seen all day long, how pitiful are you? Still crying, I'll kill you! ”
The nurses and the family members shouted and scolded, and smashed down with fists and fists, which was a miserable scream, followed by a cry for mercy.
All of a sudden, the ghost cried and the wolf howled, and it was a miserable scene.
In a street and alley not far away, Chen Zhi and the little scholar Chen Wu walked slowly.
The scholar listened to the voice and couldn't help but say, "This ...... What's going on, young master, I've heard of this white green and white tiger, saying that his family has a lot of wealth, and he is a strong man outside the city, and Baijiazhuang is even more compact, like a small city, even bandits can't attack it, how can his residence in the city be like this? ”
Chen Zhiyou looked around, shook his head, and said: "It's just a gambler's thought, when people are cornered, they can do everything, and it's nothing to cry in front of the creditor, and there are not a few people who take risks, otherwise why would Bai Qing invite so many nursing homes?" ”
"So scary?" When the scholar Chen Wu heard this, he became more and more cautious.
As soon as Chen Zhi saw him, he knew that at Chen Wu's age, no matter how mature his mind was, he was only a child, and the first time he saw such a battle, it was normal to be afraid, and it was called abnormal if he was not afraid.
"There is no law between the advance and retreat of these guards, just ordinary guards, this Bai Qing has a lot of wealth, there are manors outside the city, it is a big landlord, a small Haoqiang, the troubled times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, let many Haoqiang go further, among the family, and with the decline of royal authority, the Han Emperor can no longer forcibly move the wealthy families from all over the country to the capital, this family is getting stronger and stronger, Haoqiang also has the opportunity to ascend the product, if Bai Qing's family can be strong for more than ten years, there is no possibility of further progress."
Purely from the training of the nursing home and the family, Chen Zhi saw the foundation of this family, roughly estimated the class, and knew that the threat was not big.
You must know that many deep-rooted clans, their families have been strictly trained, and when they are gathered, they are elite soldiers, and several families together are an army, in contrast, Bai Qing's nursing home is only arrogant by relying on physique and numbers.
"Stop! Who? ”
Thinking about it, a bearded nurse suddenly came over in front of him, with a vigilant look, he scolded while looking Chen Zhi up and down: "You don't look like an ordinary person, what are you doing here?" This is the place where my master cultivates, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. ”
"I'm Chen Jiachen Chen, let's report it quickly." Chen Zhi said, his expression did not change.
"You're that stupid?" When the nurse heard this, he laughed, and reached out to grab it, "It's similar, but you're just a gambler, a ridiculous person who came to pay off your debts, let me inform you?" Joke! Come with me to meet my master! ”
Boom!
Chen Zhi didn't say a word, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and stabbed it directly!
His body has never been hungry since he was a child, and he is well nourished, and in this era, he can grow up with balanced nutrition, and he is already stronger than most people, and he has a congenital advantage in strength, so his movements are steady and agile, and his stabbing speed is not slow, and the tip of the sword reaches the forehead of the beard guard, so that it can be stopped-this is a little technique in Chen Zhi's previous life, and it is very close to the person's forehead, which seems more dangerous, and it makes the other party stunned at once.
Cold sweat flowed, and the man suddenly shouted, his legs went limp, and he collapsed backwards.
The other nursing homes also heard the sound and gathered one after another.
"Who are you?"
"What are you going to do? Actually drew his sword, but he couldn't die? ”
In the midst of the scolding, many nursing homes gathered together and surrounded Chen Zhi's master and servant, and the little scholar Chen Wu was startled and hurriedly leaned towards Chen Zhi's side.
Fortunately, these guards are not from the family, and they cannot hold sharp blades in the city, at least they dare not use them openly - there are no such rules outside the city.
This empty-handed nurse, when he saw Chen Zhi holding a sharp knife, he only scolded with words first.
Looking at the man who collapsed to the ground, Chen Zhi laughed: "Such a gallless rat, dare to give me a horse?" He glanced at everyone, "No matter who gave you the order, but Han Law has an insult to kill, I am a son of a family, and my family is in the nine grades, and I came to visit, you don't abide by etiquette, try to bully in vain, and I killed you in vain, and even your master can't protect you, why bother to come out of this?" Go tell Bai Qing and say that I, Chen Shouyi, are here. ”
When he said this, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know whether the Han law in his mouth was true or false.
In fact, Chen Zhi was talking about the former Han Dynasty's decree, which had long been abolished in the New Han Dynasty, but these nursing homes didn't know that he was playing an empty city plan, and they couldn't help but feel weak when they saw Chen Zhi's appearance, they knew that someone was going to visit today, and they were ordered to embarrass the people who came, but they didn't plan to lose their lives because of this.
Suddenly, more than a dozen strong men were suppressed by Chen Zhi, a scholar, and the two sides confronted each other.
"The son of the Chen family is here, there is a misunderstanding, misunderstanding ......" Suddenly, a slightly old voice came from behind, followed by an old man dressed as a servant walked slowly, while reprimanding the guards, he arched his hand towards Chen Zhi and said, "They don't recognize the son, they offended you, and I hope to forgive you, my master has prepared a drink, and together with several other stall owners, they are waiting for the master inside." ”
"How many others are here? It just so happened that it was all over. Chen Zhi nodded, and with the trembling little scholar, he followed the old man to the pavilion, calculating the situation as he walked.
"The owners of other gambling stalls are also there, but it saves a lot of trouble, and there is no need to make an example of chickens and monkeys."
Thinking about it, the three of them arrived in front of Qingyuanzhuang, and when they looked around, they saw carved beams and painted buildings, and the lights were bright.
The old man who led the way asked quite proudly: "My master, this Zhuangzi, has begun to take shape after several repairs, I don't know, how is it compared to the Huayuan Pavilion of the Chen family?" ”
Huayuan Pavilion is the highest pavilion in the backyard of the ancestral house of Chen's house, which was once the residence of Mrs. Chen, and it took a lot of effort to build it.
Chen Zhi looked at the building in front of him, nodded, and said seriously: "Compared with Huayuan Pavilion, it is more ingenious, especially the lanterns in this room and this corridor, which are suitable for hanging, one lamp in five steps, it is a good place." As he spoke, he silently said in his heart: If there is a fire, it is really a good place to burn.
