Accompanied by thunderous roars, the residents surrounding Zhong's house spontaneously moved out of the way, and a young man walked through the crowd and strode in.
He ran back with a little sweat on his forehead, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at anyone who dared to stand in front of him. The dagger was already in his hand, but it had not been unsheathed yet...
But even so, Heifu's arrival is enough to make the people here tremble with fear.
I heard that he can fight one against three and make thieves run away with their heads covered.
It is said that he can seize a white sword with his bare hands. What will happen if the dagger is unsheathed?
Everyone was frightened and consciously stepped aside, allowing Hei Fu to walk in front of Li Zheng unimpeded!
Li Zheng unconsciously took a few steps back with a horrified look on his face, only to find that Hei Fu treated him like air, walked straight to the door of his house, and bowed sincerely.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Heifu once imagined how things would develop, and even prepared to have his eldest brother taken away. But he never expected that at this moment, his eldest brother, who seemed to be cowardly and honest, would explode.
The long-lost bloodiness...
When Heifu recited the law, he learned that what was more serious than stealing mulberry leaves or picking locks was that if one dared to enter a house without being asked and break into a private house, the fate of the intruder would become uncertain.
Because the "Laws of Thieves" says: "Anyone who enters a person's house or house without any reason, gets on someone's vehicle or boat, and leads someone to commit a crime will be killed immediately. He is not guilty."
"At that time" means immediately, at the moment, taking action immediately, emphasizing the ongoing tense and sense of presence, which is equivalent to giving the owner unlimited right of defense!
Zhong probably memorized this sentence when he was reciting it for him, but it is one thing to be allowed by the law. It is another thing to bravely stand up and stop them when Li Zheng incites everyone to force the door.
He did what he said, and he kept his word. When Mr. Hei was not at home, he was the pillar of the family, guarding the safety of the family with his small body.
"It'll be good to come back. Mom and the others are all fine."
Zhong smiled. He had shouted so hard just now, but he felt that all his strength had been exhausted at that moment. At this time, he was a little unsteady and sat directly on the threshold.
Sure enough, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me to do. It is better to leave it to my brother to take care of it.
"Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
Hei Fu bowed to his brother again, stood up, and glanced at everyone.
"My second and third sons are all neighbors in the sunset. In the past ten years or so, I have never neglected you. But today, you have come to surround my door, forcing my eldest brother, threatening my mother and young nephew, and trying to seize my family's property.
Why is this?"
Everyone here was silent, feeling ashamed, avoiding Heifu's eyes, and at the same time turned their heads towards Li Zheng."
Li Zhengze's face was stiff and he reluctantly said: "Hei Fu, we are just here to persuade your brother to take out the rice pounding utensil and let everyone take a look..."
Heifu interrupted Li Zheng's words unceremoniously and said loudly: "I already know the reason for this matter. I understand that the neighbors did not mean to cause trouble to my family, but they believed in the villain's instigation."
He glared at Satomasa, pointed to the threshold of his house and said: "Kurofu puts the words here. If the second and third sons stop here and go home, then I will pretend that this has not happened. From now on, we can continue to do this."
Neighborhood!"
"If anyone dares to cross the lintel of my house without knowing good and evil, that is me! The enemy of Heifu, the head of Huyang Pavilion!"
"Chief of Huyang Pavilion!?"
When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked and frightened. When did this black man become the director of the pavilion? Why didn't they know?
Li Zheng also opened his eyes wide and reprimanded: "Hei Fu, you dare to pretend to be an official. Do you know what crime this is..." He assigned several field slaves of his family: "Quickly, kill this bold and evil person who pretends to be an official."
Arrest them!"
The field slaves were afraid of the black husband's evil reputation, and no one dared to come forward.
"I can testify that Mr. Hei, the director of the pavilion, is not a fake!"
An old voice sounded, and everyone turned around, only to see the prison gate and Jing coming back together. They were also supporting an old man wearing silk clothes and a hat. Anyone with a sharp eye recognized it immediately. This was not the one in the plaque.
Are you Mr. Yan?
"Why are you here, Mr. Yan..." Li Zheng also knew Yan Zheng, so he quickly stepped forward with a smile...
Yan Zheng, however, looked disgusted and raised his dove stick to stop Li Zheng.
"Hei Fu has been recruited by the county to be the chief of Huyang Pavilion. He can take up the post after passing the examination on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. In the past half month, he has been practicing the laws and regulations with me. The sun is setting, and you don't even know?"
This matter was confirmed by Yan Zheng. This old man was of high moral standing and everyone did not dare to believe him. They even looked at each other with pale faces.
It's okay to have a grudge against a public servant, but it would be very bad if a pavilion chief holds a grudge against you!
"This is really happening..." Satozheng panicked, seeming to remember what Heifu said to him that day at the edge of the field...
If Heifu could really become the chief of the pavilion, wouldn't this official position be greater than his own?
Then he had made things difficult for their family several times before, and now he even blocked the door of their home with all his face. Wasn't it true that he had completely formed a deadly feud?
Although Yan Zheng was not from this place, he had served as the third elder in his hometown and was highly regarded by the public. He scolded Qi Zhenglai without mercy at all!
"As an upright person, you are supposed to govern the place so that the people there are harmonious and the neighbors are safe, but you wantonly incited everyone to make noise, and even wanted to enter other people's houses without permission and seize their property. Although you failed, you still had the desire to do so.
, In my country of Qin, lust is a crime!"
Yan Zheng banged his dove stick on the ground hard, which made Li Zheng's heart feel cold. He sneered and said, "I think you've done it right here!"
"It's over."
Li Zheng's wife was the first to cry out and fainted on the ground. Li Zheng also looked pale and was holding on to the mulberry tree, almost unsteady on his feet.
Yan Zheng angrily scolded Li Zheng over there, and everyone present was also annoyed. They regretted that they were so hot-headed that they accompanied Li Zheng to stir up a hornet's nest. What should they do now?
Heifu looked at everyone with regret on their faces. Although he knew that most of them were instigated, he still felt some secret hatred for these people.
But Zhong pulled Heifu behind again and told him that there had to be a beginning and end to this matter, otherwise his family's situation in Zhongzhong would be really embarrassing in the future.
"After all, we are from the countryside. You know your mother, and she doesn't want things to get too ugly." Zhong is still too soft-hearted and always likes to forgive when neighbors have disputes.
Although Heifu was a little reluctant, after sighing, he still listened to his elder brother's words. He suppressed the anger in his heart, walked among the people, and said loudly: "Fellow folks!"
Everyone fell silent and looked at Hei Fu.
"Actually, I do have an instrument in my home that can make pounding rice twice the result with half the effort. It's called a treadle. The reason why I keep it secret is not that I don't want to share it with my folks and neighbors. It's because Heifu doesn't want this thing to be used only for one family.
I plan to make it a county, a county, and even the whole country! I plan to bring the Tatai to the county seat and hand it over to the county engineers! Don’t worry, in less than half a month, this thing will be spread throughout the county.
Heifu hereby guarantees that our sunset will be the first place to use it!"
"Black husband is generous!"
"Heifu really thinks about his neighbors..."
"Yes, we are really ashamed. We hope that Mr. Heifu will not take the blame."
When everyone heard this, they applauded one after another, and their words were full of compliments.
The old man at the prison gate also held up his palms in admiration, and said loudly: "It's a long way to the county town, and the treadmill is heavy. Heifu is the chief of the pavilion, so why not just use my ox cart!"
"The oxen of the Lijianmen family is too old, and Heifu is the chief of the pavilion. It's better to use my two horses to build the shaft."
At this time, Tian Dian also arrived after hearing the news. He had already forgotten what he said to Li Zheng, "the two cannot help each other." He started to laugh with Li Zheng, and competed with Li Zhengmen to please Hei Fu...
This is still the pavilion chief from another place, and he has no control over the setting sun. If he is the local pavilion chief, he can be regarded as their superior. If he is a high-ranking official, he can yell at them!
As for the helpless Li Zheng, he had already fled home in despair with his field slave and his wife who had fainted.
This time, Li Zheng stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. Not only did he lose his face, from now on, the Heifu family has two men and a pavilion director.
of people...
Li Zheng no longer cares about these things. What he is worried about is that with Yan Zheng's endorsement, Heifu will definitely sue him severely in the county! It is difficult for the people to sue the officials, but it is not easy for the officials to sue the officials.
It’s the same, how long can I remain upright?
…
On the other side, people gathered around Mr. Hei, congratulating him repeatedly, rubbing their hands, and mumbling a lot of sorry words. There was even a man who had just returned home, pressing the head of his wife who was ignorant and making fun of him.
Let them kneel down and apologize to Hei Fu and He Zhong.
In short, everyone blamed Li Zheng for what happened today, and hoped that Hei Fu would not hold a grudge against him.
Heifu didn't pay much attention to everyone. He thanked Li Jianmen and Tian Dian for their kindness, and promised to use Tian Dian's horse and Li Jianmen's car to go to the county town. The two people also rushed to do it for him.
With the "pass", when Li Zheng is unable to take charge of the affairs, the two Li Zhongxiao Li can also write letters of introduction for people.
At this moment, the two of them had already assumed that Nazheng had been dismissed from their posts.
After that, Heifu asked Jing and Citron to move the tread out, while he bowed to Yan Zheng. He was not sure that he could please Yan Zheng. This time, he owed Yan a favor.
"Thank you for your help today, master. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to drink away Li Zheng and let the others disperse."
"When a disciple is in danger, Master should help him. However, you handled today's matter very appropriately, which is somewhat like an official."
Yan Yin stroked his beard and praised him, then became serious again: "But Hei Fu, do you really want to go to the county town to present this stepping stone? Do you still remember what I told you?"
"Heifu will keep it in mind."
Hei Fu said with a smile: "So when I go to the county town, I just go to meet with the chief officials and participate in the official assessment. As for the person who presents the treadmill, it is not me, but my sister-in-law, who is from Baigong."
Yan Zheng understood, burst out laughing, waved his hand, and told Heifu to tell him immediately if he had any news, and then left with the support of his concubine at home.
Citron, who was carrying a bucket next to him, was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Should I follow you too?"
"Sister-in-law, you made this treadmill from beginning to end. If you don't go, who will?"
After saying that, Heifu smiled and took his hand, moved the heavy treadmill onto the carriage, and at the same time said in Tan's ear:
"Rather than giving advantage to outsiders, it is better to keep the best meat in your own cauldron! If this piece of meat can really be exchanged for a reward, sister-in-law, I will regard it as a wedding gift that my younger brother owes you and my sister!"
