Volume 1 Looking Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 28 The waist of the bucket is very beautiful
Chai Tiannuo did not kneel down, but crossed his hands and saluted. The county magistrate was stunned. Student, have you achieved fame?
"Shopkeeper Chai, where are you from?"
The county magistrate did not speak out, but the yamen servant on the side spoke first. There was nothing to hide. Chai Tiannuo told about his background, and the faces of the county magistrate and the yamen servant immediately showed a look of surprise.
No wonder he didn't accept the gangsters with colorful arms. He turned out to be a martial arts scholar, and his behavior was that of a talented person.
"sit."
The county magistrate came to the table and pointed, Chaitino sat down with his hands in his hands, and the two started chatting.
"The people who live in Firework Lane on Ding'er Street are not only traffickers and lackeys, but also veterans of the military. Why did Chai Xiucai go there?"
"Without him, I am poor."
Chai Tiannuo grinned and briefly told the story of his transition from civil service to military affairs with a wry smile. The county magistrate nodded in surprise:
"No wonder you opened a calligraphy and painting shop. You have skills at hand. This Shaoyin County magistrate did a stupid thing and forcibly pushed the talented people from the liberal arts academy to the martial arts academy. I don't know what his teachings were like.
Got it."
Chaitino smiled and said nothing. He was just saying polite words. If he was really self-righteous, it would make him laugh.
"I came to you for no other reason than to find out what happened yesterday."
"With such a big thing happening in my jurisdiction, I must understand it clearly."
The county magistrate got straight to the point, and Chaitino didn't waste any time. He directly told what happened yesterday. He said it simply, but the magistrate and the government officials beside him took a breath.
One person fought against dozens of people, and he was not injured at all but completely destroyed the other party. This record is a bit too tough, isn't it?!
"You really don't have anyone to help you?"
"No, there were a lot of people watching that day. You can find out by just asking a few neighbors."
Chaitino said decisively, and the county magistrate nodded hesitantly, still looking a little unconvinced.
After thinking about it, Chaitino took out a metal sign and handed it over:
"After seeing it, you will know that the student did not lie."
"Military merit plaque?"
As soon as he saw the black metal sign, the county magistrate's eyes lit up. It was really rare that a scholar who had just been admitted had military merit!
Taking the sign, the county magistrate nodded slightly. It was not fake. This kind of thing cannot be made by the private sector. Even if it could be made, no one would dare to make it. That would be a fool's errand.
"In the fourth year of Tianxuan year, the military scholar Chai Tiannuo from Shaoyin County, Mingyang Prefecture, Shuliang Province, was a meritorious officer of the Bing 2nd Battalion of the Forbidden Army. He killed more than fifty bandits in the Zhili area in one battle and surrendered fifty-one. His sword skills
, the shooting skills are both superb, and the Ding Gong is the best."
Hiss, the county magistrate couldn't help but take a breath of air. This achievement is really amazing, but since it is recorded on the military merit record plate, it cannot be faked.
In this way, those dozens of rogues are really the only ones in front of them. After all, compared with the bitter bandits, they can only be regarded as children.
"Xiucai Chai has great skills. Dahua will definitely have one more strong general in the future!"
The county magistrate handed the sign back with both hands. With such amazing abilities, Chai Xiucai has a promising future. Coupled with his military exploits, he deserves respect.
After the matter was clarified, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two parties immediately became relaxed. The county magistrate was asked to test some poems and essays, and Chai Tiannuo answered them fluently. Even those that were rare and little known could not stump him.
The county magistrate praised him repeatedly and took Chai Tiannuo to the desk, pointing to the painting he had put down before and said:
"Xiucai Chai's knowledge is amazing. We are destined to meet each other today. How about writing a poem for someone?"
Chaitino looked down and saw that it was a painting of a pond of lotus flowers. After thinking about it for a while, the seven wonders of his past life naturally appeared in his mind.
With the pen dipped in ink, the neat regular script slowly unfolds:
"After all, in the middle of June in Luoshui, the scenery is different from that of the four seasons; the lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red."
"Good words!"
The county magistrate couldn't help but be amazed. The fonts were neat but not rigid. A unique charm came directly to the eyes. It was pleasant to see. It was by no means inferior to those calligraphy masters!
“What a poem!”
The poetic meaning seems simple, but the infinite blue and the unique red match it, which immediately greatly enhances the artistic conception.
The county magistrate's eyes were full of shock when he looked at Chai Tiannuo. Wu Zhan Aotou was known as the leader. Among the civil and military talents in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Chai Tiannuo was considered to be the most outstanding.
The two sat down again. After a while, the servant served tea, and Chai Tiannuo asked the question in his mind:
"There is something unclear in the student's mind. I wonder if the adults can clarify it."
"But it doesn't matter."
The county magistrate took a sip of tea and replied with a smile, "There is an extraordinary talent in front of me," and he, a passerby, was very happy.
"Dahua has strict laws, so why does the county government turn a blind eye to those who steal, rob, and form associations?"
After the fight that day, Chaitino learned from the neighbors that the gangsters were a cancer on Bing'er Street. Residents were often harassed by them and lived miserable lives.
So he didn't understand why other realms were fine, but Luoshui was considered the emperor's foot, so why could such a cancer be tolerated?
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"What do you think of those rats?"
"The battle is quite large and there are many people, but we are capable."
What Chaitino said is certain. He is the person involved and has the most say.
"Do you still remember the provisions of the law?"
The county magistrate still asked with a smile, Chai Tiannuo nodded:
"Under Dahua's law, if you encounter a robber, you will be killed without guilt!"
"If you encounter a bad person, you will not be punished if you kill him!"
"Killing without guilt is the sword of heaven. The knife has been handed to the hand, but they still dare not take action and allow a group of rats in the ditch to bully them. It can only be said that they are incompetent and deserve to be squeezed!"
Putting down the tea bowl, the magistrate smoothed his long beard under his chin, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
"You mean?"
Chaitino vaguely understood what the county magistrate meant, but he couldn't believe it.
The county magistrate got up and went to the window, looked at the thin willows swinging by the window and said:
"The imperial court promulgated relevant laws, but did not deal with the rats. It just wanted to temper the blood of the people!"
"Great China doesn't need rigid people. What it needs is a bloody man like you who dares to draw a sword and fight!"
Having said this, the county magistrate turned around and said with profound eyes:
"What use does Dahua have for such a coward who has a sword in his hand but dare not fight against injustice?!"
After coming out of the county government office, Chai Tiannuo felt heavy in his heart. The words of the county magistrate just now made him have a lot of guesses.
The reason why the imperial court did not eliminate those scoundrels was because they were just like the bitter bandits in the Zhili area. They were used as a whetstone to sharpen the blood of the people!
Thinking about it further, Chaitino really felt a little out of breath.
Even the lowest-level ordinary people have to be polished. The scale of the war that the court is prepared to face may be far beyond imagination!
In the following days, Chaitino practiced calligraphy every night and worked hard to make money during the day.
He really didn't expect that the business in this extremely remote alley was quite good, with an average harvest of three to five taels per day.
However, silver was scarce and they were usually made of copper. Within a few days, I collected a whole bag. I was so happy that Man'er had to hold the girl in her arms when sleeping, otherwise she would not be able to sleep.
With more money, living conditions naturally improved. Within a few days, the originally skinny master and servant became a lot more rounded. After all, the fragrant mutton soup really nourishes people.
