Chapter 152 Trouble (Part 1)
A small boat goes up the river
It is said to be a small boat, and the tent is tall and can stand upright. There is a bed inside the cabin and a table and chair can be placed.
Fang Xin was wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, which was not blue, so he indicated that he had no fame and had a thousand-layer cloth shoes on his feet. At this time, he no longer had the look of hunger and coldness, and he looked elegant.
A little further away, the boatman and the boatwoman, both in their forties, were busy. The boatman was wearing short fir and busy sailing, while the boatwoman was busy washing and cutting fish and cooking at the stern.
It was near dusk and the river water was clear. You could see fish swimming and boats flowing by. On the shore, some women and girls were rolling up their sleeves and rolling up their pants, barely exposing their snow-white calves—basking rice, washing ladies, and beating clothes, humming small songs.
Time flies very quickly, and it takes half a month in a blink of an eye. Fang Xin has solved many things in this half month.
First of all, of course, I found a family of orphans, paid 50 taels, and recognized my relatives. After passing the official position, I went to the county to register my household registration, obtained my legal status, household registration, and road guide, and became a scholar who had not yet passed the exam.
In the Dazhen Dynasty, there were naturally inspection departments, and a large number of constables and patrol soldiers were patrolling. Therefore, having a legal identity guide would reduce a lot of trouble.
The same is true for this ship's man Zhang Laowu. His two sons in the family are already adults. After paying 50 taels of settlement, they sold their lives to him and followed him around the world. As for how the money comes, there is naturally a way to go with public and private, black and white, so there is no need to say more. Now it seems that he is traveling with a gentry's children with an old servant.
Of course this is a common thing, so I heard Zhang Laowu say, "Young master, it's night, are you stopping and resting? There happened to be a small boat in front of you."
At this time, the boat was not good at night. Fang Xin nodded and smiled: "Okay!"
At that moment, the boat rowed up, and there was a medium-sized boat leaning on it. When it arrived on the small shore, a person greeted it. Zhang Laowu stepped forward, said a few words to him, and threw two fish, and then he finished it. He came back and said with a smile: "Young Master, this is Sunjiazhuang, there is a restaurant nearby, so why not go up?"
"Okay, bring the cooked fish!" Fang Xin said as he ordered.
The restaurant is not far away. A rod was picked out in front of the door and a wine flag was hung. When I saw that there were four tables. There were five people wearing Confucian clothes sitting on the other table, and two people sat on the other table. After a moment of looking, I sat on one.
There was a shop owner inside and came forward: "Do you want food and drinks, this young master?"
Fang Xin sat down and smelled the burning grass, which was used to repel mosquitoes. He said, "Put some good wine, and some dishes, make them clean, order five or six to serve."
"Okay, young master, wait a moment." The owner immediately smiled happily and served the wine first. Fang Xin took a sip. It was rice wine, which was acceptable.
Zhang Laowu and his wife also brought the fish.
"You guys sit and eat too!" Although the name is the master and servant, they also eat together, this is the rule of going out. Unless you go to a big place or are a big noble in a big family, you will not have too obvious assignments during your trip.
In a short while, the five dishes came on, and it was OK to eat them. Fang Xin slowly drank, and saw the five scholars drinking, talking about some romantic and words. After hearing a few words, the other party said that at this time, even if the level was average, it would be fine.
These five people also swept Fang Xin, but they saw that he looked like a young man. Although the Confucian shirt was new, they were not very good. They thought they were ordinary gentry children, so they didn't care. The five of them were wearing blue clothes and had fame. It was normal for them to look down on those who had no fame.
After eating silently, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside and ran over quickly. Everyone present was shocked. It was already night and the horses were galloping at night, so it was impossible to do anything urgent.
Fang Xin knew it was the three chasers when he heard it, but he didn't care.
Sure enough, after a moment, the leader was a middle-aged man with a national face and a majestic man, followed by two people, with a long sword.
As soon as he came in, the man's eyes swept across the store sharply. The majestic expression of life and death immediately made Fang Xin know that he had an official identity. However, when this person saw that the five people in the store were all wearing blue shirts, and Fang Xin looked like a squire, he withdrew his eyes.
The owner of the shop seemed to be a discerning person and immediately stepped forward to serve him. Without waiting for a word, the two of them stood up immediately and said that they had finished eating. The owner immediately attracted him to sit down, put away the dishes, wiped them clean, and served tea and wine again.
Fang Xin ignored it and just frowned slightly. He obviously felt that some trouble would come.
Sure enough, after a moment, the door went black and one person came in. After the three people who were eating immediately changed their faces, stood up and touched the hilt of the knife.
This is a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and a long sword hanging on his waist.
"Lin Renhong? You dare to appear in front of me?" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
"Inspector Xu, you want to plan to confiscate my home, how dare I not come?" The middle-aged man smiled coldly and said gloomyly: "The inspector of the broken home!"
The inspection is a ninth rank official, but in fact he is the director of the county public security bureau. Although the position is small, he is powerful. Although there are no more than 100 police officers under the inspection, he has the right to use local people to be strong and brave.
"What do you want? Do you dare to resist arrest?" the inspector scolded.
"Hehe, I know that you are following the law and have always put the people of the martial arts and violated the ban on martial arts. However, I have washed my hands and moved here for five years. Have you ever done anything illegal? You even planned to confiscate my home and destroy my door. How can I allow you?" The middle-aged man said gloomyly.
"Hmph, Lin Renhong, you have killed people for thirty years. If there are cases to be investigated, there will be a hundred lives. Ten years ago, I was even more capable of killing the officer. The emperor's law is like the sky, how can you let you die a good end!" At this time, Xu Xu also came back to his senses from the shock. He was in power for decades, and when he saw his expression, he knew it was not good. He raised his hand and waved his hand, and the three of them drew their swords together.
At this time, the five scholars on the other side understood what had happened, and they all looked like earth.
After hearing this, Fang Xin was not surprised by this, and he was generally aware of it.
For something, we must look at it from an organizational perspective, as well as from a personal perspective. There is an open society, there is a gangster, there is a white way, there is a gangster. To a certain extent, the army and political factions are inevitable, so there is the saying of private soldiers and gang formation.
However, from a small perspective, the court and the underworld coexist. In essence, the existence of the underworld replaced part of the control and functions of the court, which is intolerable, so almost all the courts attacked the underworld.
However, the court also knew that such underworlds were basically difficult to cut off, so it did not handle major cases and gather people, and rarely attracted the attention of the court directly.
Although the inspection and captain who handle the specific case are theoretically part of the court, they are different after all.
It is common to force out the outlaws, kill the toll, stab the toll every ten steps, and even attack the toll family. After all, the imperial court almost threatens or implicates the criminals when dealing with criminals, and of course the underworld will do the same.
Therefore, the legal evidence is part of the factor in handling cases, and the interests of the protective umbrella are part of the sharing of benefits, and the taboos of those who handle the case in detail are part of the gangsters. Therefore, some gangsters can survive. By the way, if they enter the real gangster, they can only go all the way to the end and use the gangster forces to confront the tolerances in a faint way - the tolerance itself is also a human being, so naturally there are people's weaknesses!
Until the power grew bigger and attracted the attention of the court and gave a thunder blow!
However, if you withdraw from the world halfway and have no power, unless someone protects you, the tolerance will immediately pounce on you. In the past cases, the wealth accumulated by the other party is the target of the tolerance - the tolerance is also a human being. It can not only attack the underworld, but also be promoted and make money, but also satisfy some of their secret psychology. It has always been a pain to beat the dogs.
This incident was the same, but it seemed that it had hit a badge. Just by looking at the murderous intent of the middle-aged man, you can know that this old man is very aware of the opportunity and decisive in killing. When he saw this, he was ready to move his family and kill his officials.
Fang Xin sat down while sitting without saying a word, and just watched the situation happening. This kind of tranquility made the confrontation that both sides were afraid of. Both middle-aged and inspectors took a secret look.
Fang Xin felt this and stretched out his chopsticks to eat the fish, and didn't even look at Zhang Laowu, who was shaking all over.
This has shown his attitude. Suddenly, the middle-aged man drew his long sword and sang faintly.
"If you dare to kill an official and rebel, you will be killed, together with your gang!" The inspector said sternly, approaching forward, looking past Fang Xin, who was expressionless.
Even if you save this kind of official, he will think that your martial arts are powerful and the target of prevention. You have to investigate clearly. So you will feel tired of it. If you don’t save him or help him, you will immediately become a criminal’s gangster. He understands this mentality very well.
Suddenly, the three men flashed their swords and joined forces to launch a terrifying attack. The court held a duty to kill people, so they did not follow the so-called rules and had specialized in learning unexpected surprise attacks.
When inspecting a county, the entourage must be elite, and there are naturally a large number of masters in the public ranks.
The middle-aged man sneered and rushed forward,
With a "clang", swords and swords intersect and Mars emerged.
Whether it is a tolerance or a person who has gone through the old world, his swordsmanship and sword techniques are cruel and simple, so he fought for a moment and separated in a moment. With a "bang", the two tolerances fell.
The middle-aged man was also stabbed, and blood oozed out of his clothes, but it was not heavy. The inspector stood upright and looked down at him.
A sword penetrated through the abdomen and saw the intestines flowing out faintly.
