This man is about thirty years old, tall and thick, wearing a plain turban on his head, a soap shirt on his body, and black calfskin wristbands on his hands. He has bronze skin, a forehead with crisscross grooves, and thick and black eyebrows.
He has a square face and a wide mouth, and he whips the whip in his hand.
Chen Chang subconsciously covered his face and stepped back, narrowly avoiding the whip. Even so, his face was sore from the strong wind brought by the tip of the whip.
"How dare you hide!" The tall man in soap shirt raised the whip in his hand and struck it down again with a "swish" sound.
The force of the whip became even more fierce, and the blows on the face were bound to cause flowers all over the face.
Chen Chang was shocked. He didn't expect this man to be so arrogant and unreasonable. He would hit him whenever he asked. He was confused and at a loss.
As soon as the woman stretched out her arm, the riding crop with red fringes swung forward. The originally soft riding whip seemed to have muscles and bones immediately. The tip of the whip suddenly wrapped around the riding whip of the big man in soap shirt and pulled back.
.
Chen Chang didn't know that it looked like this. He thought it was a mixed doubles match, so he hurriedly stepped back. Suddenly, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground again. The look of him lying around was very funny, which made the woman's lips curl up slightly.
He arched an arc, but his face was still filled with shock.
The tall man in the soap shirt laughed loudly, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, approached Chen Chang, lowered his head and laughed: "Forget it, look at how weak you are, you can't withstand such a whip. However,
I want to tell you to control your own tricks. I will let you go for now! There is a stock market philistine in the desolate voice.
Chen Chang sat slumped on the ground, looking up at a man and a woman, his eyes focused more on the woman. Although her pretty face was a bit cold, there was a slight blush due to the horse galloping, making it even more delicate and beautiful.
, couldn’t help but be stunned.
When the woman saw Chen Chang still staring at her with his head raised, he frowned, but soon relaxed, because she realized that although the man in front of her was staring intently, his eyes were as clear as water, and there was no trace of lust. This was true.
Different from those lustful and greedy men.
With this thought in her mind, she no longer kept a pretty face, sat up straight and crossed her hands and said: "Mr. Sir, is this Yangjiadu? Do you know where the Li family is?" The voice was empty and cold, and she felt relaxed and happy when she heard it.
Chen Chang shook his head numbly and nodded again. He had just arrived in this time and space, but he had not fully inherited all the memories of the original owner. He was still a bit cautious when meeting strangers.
"He's a nerd!" the tall man in soap shirt said angrily.
There was a slight smile in the woman's eyes, and she turned to the big man in soap shirt and said, "Let's go, just ask as we walk." Then she grabbed the horse's belly with her legs and galloped away.
The tall man in soap shirt pointed at Chen Chang with his riding crop and snorted loudly: "You are a scholar who is useless!" Then he chased after him.
Chen Chang looked at the woman's pretty back and let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, he was really afraid that the two of them would expose him during the cross-examination.
But the next moment, he slapped himself hard.
Just thinking about not exposing the identity of the gangster, I actually forgot about such an important thing as rescuing Yan Qianshi.
Damn it!
"Hey, I know where Li Li's home is, wait a minute..."
In the drizzle, Chen Chang chased after the two people in front of him, carrying his bulky robe that was in the way.
Liu Lili is probably a village bully. The Yan family is reckless and talkative, so it may be difficult to get any advantage. And he, a foreign gangster, has no chance of winning. At this time, he can only rely on external forces to solve the problem.
He worked hard in the business field for many years in his previous life, and he is best at observing people's emotions. The man and the woman just now were both dressed in smart clothes. Although they were menacing, they did not look like evil people, especially the woman, who looked cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
p>
I'm afraid it will fall on this woman to solve the crisis for the grandfather and grandson.
The two riders in front were running further and further away. Chen Changzhui's face turned red and he was out of breath.
It's over, it's over... This opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come back...
As I was distracted, I suddenly tripped over a stone and fell headlong into the mud on the ground.
God wants to kill me...
He stretched out his hand to grab it, and found something in his hand. It was the ivory waistband hanging on the waist of the woman just now. The top of the waistband was embossed into the shape of two animals, and it was very smooth to the touch. Wipe off the dirt on the surface with the sleeve of the robe, and a line of small characters was revealed...
…
About half an hour ago, Liu Yingshun, a local official, returned home from Jiangling. He undressed, took a comfortable hot bath, and drank hot tea. Someone had already come to report what happened during his absence at Yangjiadu in the past few days.
, the Yan family’s rescue work is naturally included.
Nowadays, Liu Yingshun has very few temporary certificates issued in his hand. He wanted to beg his superior to get a few more, but he was told that the imperial government had recently tightened the decrees. The decrees were changed day by day, which made people confused. Liu Yingshun was in a bad mood. This was equivalent to
If his source of wealth is cut off, he must find another source.
A person who can become an official is definitely an extraordinary person. Liu Yingshun started thinking while drinking tea. Zhou, Qi, and Chen stood in a powerful position. People who come and go will inevitably make mistakes. It would be better if that person has some faults, but if not...hehe...
Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside asked loudly to see him. When he saw Yan Qianshi's chubby face, he felt happy and thought he was really sleepy and asked for a pillow.
After meeting Liu Yingshun, Yan Qianshi crossed his hands and sang, which was very respectful.
In ancient times, the so-called "yi" was just a raised hand without making a sound. The modern so-called "yi" began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the Wang family used it as a courtesy and made a sound to salute when making a bow.
Yan Qianshi went straight to the point and explained his purpose. He took out the cloth bag from his arms and offered it with both hands: "The matter of Qi Lang is very urgent. For my sake, please be accommodating."
Because he was at home, Liu Yingshun was wearing an embroidered hat and a pair of silky half-sleeves. He squinted and did not express his position.
At this moment, a strange cry came from behind Yan Qianshi: "Hey! You are so brave to bribe your father with stolen money!"
Yan Qianshi was startled by the shouts behind him, his hands trembled, the bag fell from his hands, and the iron coins were scattered on the floor. He didn't care to clean it up, and turned around quickly, only to see a tall man wearing a cyan cross-collar hakama pleated suit.
The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stood behind him, and Yan Qianshi shouted out loud: "Da Lang!"
This person is Liu Yingshun's only son Liu Yaozu. Liu Yingshun had a son when he was old, and he doted on this son very much. Liu Yaozu usually took a group of rogue idlers to hang out, because he had a father who was a local official, and even the children of wealthy families met him.
He has to call him "Da Lang" politely.
Liu Yaozu heard the conversation between Yan Qianshi and his father outside the wall. He was similar in age to Yan Qianshi, but during the Liang Dynasty, the Yan family had a superior status in Yangjiadu, so Liu Yaozu could not help but be three points shorter when he met Yan Qianshi.
But the situation is no longer what it used to be. At this moment, his face was full of anger and he sneered: "Humph, this Yang family crossing was originally a peaceful scene under my father's rule. I didn't expect that you dared to steal in broad daylight, and you didn't bring any trouble to the court."
The law is taken into account."
A smile appeared on Yan Qianshi's fat face: "Dalang, you misunderstood. This money belongs to the family. I came here today..."
"Shut up!" Liu Yaozu's face was covered with frost, "Yan Qianshi, don't tell nonsense. Who is my father? How can he rub sand in his eyes? You openly bribed today, hehe..." He waved his hand
, three followers in naughty costumes rushed in from outside and surrounded Yan Qianshi.
Liu Yingshunji was sitting behind a bent-foot incense table in the middle of the house, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a trace of joy on his face full of grooves. Although his son was not a material for reading, he was quite similar to him in terms of sharp teeth and decisiveness.
What is lacking is stability.
The father and son have made eye contact just now, let's see how he handles it. If there is anything inappropriate, it will not be too late to point it out.
Yan Qianshi argued: "Master Liu, this money is really not stolen."
The local officials are based on household registration, teach farming and mulberry planting, check illegality, and urge taxes and servitude. Although they have power, they are not even minor officials. It is very respectful to call them like this.
Liu Yaozu glanced at Yan Qianshi and sneered: "You didn't kneel down when you saw my father. Why are you so unruly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qianshi was kicked directly in the crook of his legs by the gangster behind him. His knees hit the ground, which hurt his bones. Although he struggled hard, he was held down by his shoulders and could not get up.
Liu Yaozu lowered his head and said: "You are really audacious. Not only did you steal, you also dared to ruin my father's reputation, and you didn't even recruit him!"
Yan Qianshi said quickly: "Da Lang, even if you lend me the courage, I wouldn't dare to steal it. This money does belong to the family..."
Liu Yaozu chuckled and said: "My family is poor and poor. I'm afraid we have no rice to cook these days. How can we come up with so much money? The people you rescued are either craftsmen or gangsters. This time they are considered as sitting ducks."
Really."
Seeing Liu Yaozu's insistence, Yan Qianshi couldn't help but argue: "You said we stole the money, is there any evidence?"
Liu Yaozu said angrily: "What did you say? Evidence? What's the matter, you still suspect that I'm blind?"
Yan Qianshi's blood boiled and he said proudly: "If there is no evidence, I will not accept it!"
Liu Yaozu raised his hand and was about to hit him, but Liu Yingshun stopped him.
Liu Yingshun saw that his son was trying to force a confession but could not get it, so he sneered and said: "Okay, okay, okay, since you want evidence, I will bring it out. The Wang family in the west of the village was stolen yesterday, and four pieces of money were lost. The stolen goods were also packed in these bags. You
How dare you deny it!"
"You..." This cloth bag is extremely ordinary and has a wide range of applications. Yan Qianshi knows that this is a false accusation.
Liu Yaozu waved his hand: "Come here, tie up this criminal who committed a crime."
Liu Yingshun did not stop him, but the two gangsters tied up Yan Qianshi without any explanation.
Under the secret instruction of Liu Yaozu, the gangsters also played dirty tricks. Although Yan Qianshi was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, he was severely beaten and twitched in pain. He had a strong temper and resisted without saying a word while protecting his vitals.
.
At this moment, an old voice came from outside: "Stop... cough cough cough... my grandson will not steal anything..."
But it was Yan Xiu who stumbled over to protect Yan Qianshi. A rogue raised his arms and threw the old man to the ground.
Yan Qianshi suddenly became anxious, struggled to stand up from the ground, and used his arms to hit the young man. He was already fat, and at this moment, he was like a ball of flesh that was ejected and went wild. The rogue was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground, wailing incessantly.
.
"Rebellion, rebellion..." Liu Yaozu said angrily, "Hit me, hit me hard..."
Most of those scoundrels gathered around Liu Yaozu to make a living, and after receiving the order, they would use their old fists against Yan Qianshi.
It was not difficult to find Liu Yingshun's home. Chen Chang heard Fatty Yan mention the general location and asked for directions on the way to a woman in Tsing Yi wearing a wide-brimmed gauze hat. Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly, her voice was clear and tactful, and she was extremely
It sounds good.
Seeing Chen Chang's appearance, the woman initially didn't want to do anything, but she agreed when she saw a man and a woman riding horses behind Chen Chang. She followed the direction pointed by him, and after crossing a clear stream, she saw a quite beautiful building.
It's a large house, and there are seven or eight people watching the excitement outside the door. I think this is the place.
Entering the courtyard, through the door frame, I saw Yan Xiu just struggling to get up from the ground and blocking him in front of his grandson. The old man was covered in mud and water, and his clogs were missing. His two skinny feet were bare and his forehead was black.
Green, crown slanted and spread out, he just kept cupping his hands and pleading to a middle-aged man with sinister eyebrows: "Liu Lili, my grandson must have been wronged. He has been honest since he was a child, and he is definitely not a robber or a thief..."
Chen Chang couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Yan Qianshi's eyes were red, as if they were filled with blood, and his frightening aura made the gangsters pause: "If you touch me again, I will fight to the death with you!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Yaozu shouted: "Whatever you do to eat, give it to me, life or death!"
"Stop!"
Chen Chong was weak and weak, and his voice had no power at all, but it still made Liu and his son look at him with suspicion. They saw Chen Chong dressed as a weak scholar, and his face was very unfamiliar. He must be the person saved by the ancestors and grandsons of the Yan family.
Liu Yingshun's eyes flashed coldly, "Okay, he doesn't take our father and son seriously at all." Liu Yaozu didn't ask why, he pointed at Chen Chan and said, "I'll beat this guy too!"
