On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the twelfth month of the second year of Zhenghe, a team of flying horses galloped in front of Yujia Village outside the city of Anqing Mansion.

The leader of the group wore the uniform of the envoy of the bureau, and the rest of them were all uniforms, because of the cold weather, the envoy covered a sheepskin shoulder outside the uniform, wore a woolen head, helped to turn the wool knee pads on the legs, pedaled a pair of sheepskin heavy boots, and wrapped gloves made of woolen cloth on his hands, and wrapped his mouth and nose with wool cloth.

When passing by the entrance of the village, I saw him stop his horse and ask a few children who were playing with guns at the entrance of the village: "Xiaolang, what is this place, and how far is it from Anqing Mansion?" ”

Several children were curious when they saw the official on horseback, and a teenager boldly replied: "We are here in Yujia Village, only fifty miles away from the city. ”

"Oh! Yujia Village? This made his eyebrows raised, then he reached out to pick up the woolen cloth on his face, straightened up and looked left and right, then reached out and grabbed a handful of copper from the pocket next to the saddle, raised his smile and said: "Do you know that Wang Dafu in the east of the village is still there?" ”

But as soon as the children saw the man's face, they all screamed and ran, and in the blink of an eye, they ran away. But when he saw that this man had a huge scar on the left side of his face, and a gold seal the size of ten coins was tattooed on the right side of his face, when he showed a smiling face, he looked strangely hideous.

"Yu Zhizhi!"

A group of officials behind him also stopped, and a dog-legged deserter also looked around and asked, "This is the envoy's hometown?" ”

The envoy nodded his head, but he reached out and touched the scar on his face, stretched out his tongue and licked the chapped mouth at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I wanted to lead the brothers to the city for the New Year, but who knew that I had arrived here." That's it! There is a way that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, everyone and follow us to eat big households! ”

After speaking, he pulled his horse and led the way to the village, and the officials also agreed to follow.

Yujia Village is actually not big, there are less than 50 households, but there are two places in Zhuangzi, one is the ancestral hall of the Yu clan in the village, and the other is very new, which is owned by Wang Dafu mentioned in the mouth of the envoy just now.

Everyone walked along the road into the village, and then saw a loess rammed wall but equipped with a new tile of the village, Yu Zhi pointed with a horsewhip and said: "Didn't we all ask where the 'flower smile' on our faces came from, everyone look, this place is the source." ”

This is the "flower smile" in the mouth of the envoy, which is a huge scar on the left side of his face, if you look closely, you can see a peony flower-like scar from the scar, but because of the festering of the wound, the shape is so out of shape that it is easy to see.

The close desert said: "The envoy said that it was this Wang Dafu who harmed the envoy at the beginning?" Ha ha! Today, it's really unjust, and the debtor has the owner! Do you want to be angry with the system? ”

The officials all coaxed: "Naturally, you have to be angry for the system!" ”

Yu Zheng crossed his hands and laughed: "Go!" ”

There were forty-two officials in this team, and when they galloped to Wang Dafu's manor, Yu Zhi led about 30 people to the main gate, and the rest of the people were divided into a few and walked along the courtyard wall to block the side gate of the gate.

When they came to the door, several stout officials got off their horses and stepped forward to bang on the door, and as soon as they opened a crack, they kicked the door open vigorously, and shouted: "Your master has happened, don't hurry up and tie your hands!" ”

The officials were in such a wolf-like posture, which naturally frightened the people in the courtyard, and the envoy did not stop drinking, and went straight into the middle hall, and the big horn went to the main seat, and waited for his subordinates to act.

After a while, Wang Dafu and his whole family were tied up by the officials, and the close messenger personally escorted a thin old man to Yu Zhi's envoy, stretched out his feet and kicked the old man to his knees, and shouted: "Bird! Lift up the dog's eyes and see who is in the hall? ”

The thin old man was naturally the owner Wang Dafu, who was so frightened and trembling that he was frightened and trembling, but after hearing the words, he looked up and looked at it, but his eyes were full of doubts, so Yu Zhi's envoy reached out to uncover the head of the head, revealing the leprosy on his head, and said with a smile: "What? Don't remember us? ”

Wang Dafu thought about it again, and then he looked at the envoy in fright and said, "It's you...... Yu Leprosy? ”

"Not bad!" Yu put on his head, showed a hideous smile and said: "We said that the enemy between you and me is not dead, and the debt is not rotten, and today we are here to ask for the debt." ”

Wang Dafu trembled angrily, but he also plucked up his courage and said: "Back then, the old man thought that you were young, and he never studied with you deeply, but you still dared to come to ask for debts?" Your parents died back then, and it was the old man who accepted you as a tenant, but you were so lazy to do it, and you hooked up with Shuangmei, the girl in the old man's family, and didn't dare to take responsibility for the ugly things, and even instigated Shuangmei to steal property with the intention of eloping. Originally, you were sentenced to throw yourself into the river and sink into the pond in the ancestral hall of the Yu clan, or did the old man send you to the official and gave you a way to live, but you still dare to come to the old man today to ask for the debt? ”

"Not bad! Back then, it was not right for us to be lazy, it was not right to do ugly things with Shuangmei and not dare to take responsibility, and it was even more wrong to instigate her to steal. Your lord Wang did not let his clansmen throw us into the river, and sent us to the official to be a thorn in the army, leaving a life, which is also kind to us. However, do you remember that it was you who made people hit Shuangmei on the abdomen with a stick, causing her to die with one corpse and two deaths, and both mother and son died! It was you who made people kick our crotch indiscriminately, making us a waste now, and you personally branded this smile on our faces...... Are you going to tell me if this account should be settled today? ”

When Wang Dafu heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly softened, so he arched his hand and said, "Yu Leer...... Yu Guanren, it was the old man who made a big mistake when he was confused, and he had a guilty conscience in hindsight. Now the tomb of Shuangmei's mother and son is in the plum blossom pass, and I make people remove the grass and incense every year...... For officials, people can't be resurrected after death, I am willing to compensate you, you see...... 5,000 ...... No, no, no! Is 8,000 good? ”

As soon as he heard that Wang Dafu had built a tomb for those plums, Yu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but shed tears.

In fact, as Wang Dafu said, at the beginning, Yu made his parents die because of the epidemic, thanks to Wang Dafu's acceptance as a farmer (similar to a domestic helper), and later he fell in love with the girl of the Wang family, Shuangmei, and tasted the joy of men and women, and the result was a secret knot. Yu made the envoy instigate Shuangmei to steal property and wanted to take her to elope, but was discovered, Wang Dafu was angry and let people be severely punished, who knew that he made a corpse and two lives, and then came to find that he did not let the ancestral hall of Yujia Village sink him into the river, and was sent to the government to be sentenced to a stab with the army.

Later, Yu Leer got the opportunity, and he went from being a thief with an army to being an envoy of the bureau, so I won't go into details, and it is also the will of God that there is a debtor and a master today.

Thinking back to the events of the day, although Yu Zhizhi was resentful, he heard that Wang Dafu still had some conscience and built a tomb for Shuangmei's mother and son, and the resentment in his heart was reduced a lot.

wiped away his tears and said coldly: "Master Wang, today is the New Year's Day, let's also show you a clear way, take 20,000 yuan, and then rest everything, how about it?" ”

Happy New Year, everyone! In the afternoon, I want to accompany my mother to go to the kiss, and strive to have two more chapters in the evening!
