Chapter 10: The Wise Man

Dong Ce sneered, his face straightened, and the scoundrel appearance with a hippie smile suddenly disappeared. There was a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Lord Xu, everyone in Shilipu knows my character, before today, I was still a coward and fool, like me, I dared to kill Sun Ruhu, who would believe it?" You and Sun Ruhu have never been on good terms, not to mention Shilipu, even those big men in Zhenqiang Fort know everything, you say, who will they believe? ”

Dong Ce's words were like the devil's sneer from the Nine Hells: "Lord Xu, instructing your subordinates to kill their colleagues, your sin is not small!" ”

Xu Ruyu only felt cold, and his eyes when he looked at Dong Ce already carried irrepressible fear, this person was as terrifying as the devil!

Although his official position is higher than Dong Ce, it is even easier to kill Dong Ce, but in his heart, he really has a sense of fear of him.

Zhang Han's expression was very strange, but his eyes were full of approval.

Ordinary people kill people, and when they are found outright, they deny it, but he takes the initiative to say it generously.

Not only did he use the fact that he killed Sun Ruhu to protect himself, but he could even threaten Xu Ruyu and use a dead person for this part, Dong Ce can be regarded as the extreme.

Such scheming, such means, such nuanced observation skills and ruthless, ruthless and decisive temperament!

"What a hero! It's really a hero! 'One' book' read 'novel' ybdu"

He sighed again.

The atmosphere in the public hall was like a tomb, and it fell into a deathly silence.

The three of them had their own concerns, and they didn't speak for a while, and they could only hear Xu Ruji's heavy gasps.

After a long time, Xu Ruji said to himself: "What do you want?" ”

When he said this, he only felt that the strength of his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and the whole person almost collapsed on the chair. Because of this sentence, it means that he admits defeat to Dong Ce! Convinced!

I have a hundred households, and I want to be soft to him!?

Xu Ruji's heart invaded the huge humiliation, which made him sad to death, and he had already hated Dong Ce into his bones, it is conceivable that once he caught the opportunity, he would definitely let Dong Ce die a good death.

Can Dong Ceyan not know his thoughts? But a gentle and humble smile appeared on his face: "I want to dedicate 100 acres of fertile land to my lords." ”

"What?" Xu Rujian exclaimed, and said in disbelief: "What did you say? ”

"The two hundred and thirty acres of land outside the city are two pieces of land, and there are two land deeds at home, and I want to give one of them, which covers an area of 100 acres, to you. A little bit of gratitude. ”

Xu Ruyi looked at him in a daze, he had already confused Dong Ce's soft and hard means, and his thoughts had been completely led away by Dong Ce's nose, and he couldn't help but say in a daze: "Why? ”

"It's just asking for an official." The smile on Dong Ce's face became even brighter: "The little one wants to ask the adults for an official." ”

"Asking for an official?" Xu Rujian was even more confused at this time, and said: "This official is only a hundred households, what kind of official can you be?" ”

After saying that, I was annoyed, how to tell the truth?

Dong Ce said with a smile: "Although the adult is a hundred households, he is in charge of ten miles of shops, a few fire road piers below, and a A long, compared to the adult, it can still be settled, right?" ”

"A hundred acres of good water for watering land for a first-class length?"

Xu Ruji's eyes lit up at the moment.

Dong Ce walked out of the court with his head held high.

There were many people gathered in the square of the public hall, not so much to see the excitement, but to see Dong Ce. Everyone wants to see what will happen to Dong Erlang, who is guided by this night dream god, and a good fight is inevitable, right?

Unexpectedly, the door of the public hall opened, but Dong Ce strode out unscathed.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers, he frowned and strode forward.

There was a commotion in the crowd at first, and then he couldn't help but make way for him, and when he came over, many people had a flattering smile on their faces, calling Brother Dong, and a little older, calling Erlang.

Dong Ce hugged his fists: "Everyone, lift." ”

Walking out of the crowd, he threw his head back and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, a smile on his face.

It's nice to be respected!

No matter what that respect is based on, whether it's a fist or a talent, who cares? At least I'm no longer the Dong Ce who was bullied.

Regarding the conditions proposed by Dong Ce, Xu Ruyi agreed.

A hundred acres of land is not a small amount.

In the vicinity of Liangjing, an acre of good watering land costs more than two taels of silver, which is naturally not worth so much money, but there are dozens of taels. The amount of bribes paid by dozens of taels is actually quite a lot. In this era, a poor Beijing official's annual salary may not have this number, such as when Jingtai was in the third year, the emperor bribed the court bosses because of the incident of establishing the prince, and everyone gave one hundred taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver, which was already a very worthy gift.

In this dynasty, although it has been several decades since Longqing opened the sea, and a large amount of silver has poured in, but at this time, the pavilion elder level is only a gift of two thousand taels of silver.

What's more, some of the armor captains of those fire road piers have also reached the age of age, and some of them should be transferred away after they have reached the age of duty.

If Dong Ce said that he wanted to dedicate at the beginning, he was afraid that Xu Ruji would not only not give him the benefits he would, but would also treat him as a soft persimmon and pinch him to death.

And now, Xu Rujian found out that he was a hard-handed iron hedgehog who didn't eat hard and soft, and he didn't dare to underestimate him, let alone bully him.

So it's done.

Of course, he knew that Xu Rujie would definitely seek revenge, but he Dong Ce, especially those who were afraid of retaliation?

Before he did this, he had already thought clearly.

Where to go now? The kennel can't go back.

Dong Ce suddenly smiled slightly, and walked forward.

In a few moments, it is to the destination. Looking at the dazzling words 'Sun Mansion', Dong Ce narrowed his eyes slightly.

He went up the stairs and was about to push them away, but he heard a loud shouting from inside.

Dong Ce frowned, paused slightly, and pushed the door in.

In this courtyard, Dong Ce has lived for more than ten years, and he is naturally very familiar, the small courtyard with two entrances, after entering, there is a gatehouse, and the one facing the gatehouse is a shadow wall, which is already a little dilapidated at this time, and there are weeds on the shadow wall. The ground of terrazzo green bricks, the brick carvings that can be seen everywhere, and the cyan tile eaves add a little simplicity and elegance.

In front of the courtyard, there are two wings in the east and west, and there are three south rooms, the south room is the kitchen and firewood room, the west wing room is the utility room, which is stacked with many agricultural tools, seeds and other messy things, and the east wing room is the residence of the servants of the subordinates.

There is a low wall in the middle of the front and back courtyards, and a moon hole door is opened in the middle, and there is an inner courtyard inside.

The voice came from the inner courtyard, and only a slick scoundrel's voice came out: "If you know each other, get out of here for the gentlemen, lest we bring them here to pick you up." ”

"This is my home, why are you chasing us!" A slightly hoarse and low female voice sounded, the voice was very good, not like a local accent, but with some of the glutinous sweetness of Suwu land in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that at this time, the voice is already full of anger.

"Why?" The slick voice said, "This is your house?" Don't go out to inquire, this was originally the house of Dong Erlang's family, and then your dead ghost man forcibly occupied it! Now it's time for things to return to their original owners, we are here on the orders of Dong Erlang, Erlang asked us to come and talk to you, either get out now, or beat you out! ”

"You!" Before the hoarse and pleasant girl could speak, a sharp voice sounded: "Madam, what do you have to say to these thieves?" They said that they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the master had just died, and we were not easy to mess with. Wang Tong, don't go, wait for Shi Jin and a few people to come and kill you! ”

The smooth voice laughed: "Shi Jin has been arrested and put into the yamen, and he is eating the chops at this time, so he must have been beaten to death." The two Uncle Zhou brothers ran away without eggs. Where are you going to call them? ”

Dong Ce shook his head secretly, he said how could this smooth voice be so familiar, it turned out to be Wang Tong, who came here and used his own banner.

The sharp voice did not show weakness at all, and screamed: "Without them, we can beat you to death!" Erya, let's do it! Kill these thieves. ”

"Done!" Another hoarse voice rang out.

These two voices make people think of the unreasonable village women with a full face, a stout body, and a bull's eye.

Saying that, these two stout big-footed women were one of them brandishing a jujube stick and smashed it towards Wang Tong and the others. At this time, a chuckle and a clear voice sounded: "Yo, why is it so lively today?" ”

While speaking, Dong Ce passed through the Moon Cave Gate and came to the inner courtyard.

The three-story white stone steps, the pillars with mottled lacquer on the vermilion, the red bricks, the window lattices, the green tiles, and the vines under the steps are already full of fruit at this time.

In front of the courtyard, a pear tree is when the pear blossoms are white, and the courtyard is filled with a cold fragrance.

Originally, at this time, the pear blossoms had already been grateful, but this year's weather was bitterly cold, and the bloom was late, and the thanks were late.

It's the same as in memory.

Dong Ce couldn't help but squint his eyes and took a deep breath.

Finally, it's back! Above board, dignified, back.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Dong Ce.

It's just that the emotions are different. Wang Tong's face was full of excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Dong, these two mothers-in-law are fierce, we are not opponents, and we have to bother you to stretch your fists and feet." ”

The two big-footed women took a step back and protected the woman, and the three of them looked at Dong Ce, with fear and vigilance in their eyes.
