Dou Xiao saw Hou Mochen carrying furs into the city for trade. Hou Mochen handled the furs very carefully in order to sell them at a good price. Dou Xiao saw this and thought to himself:
If I can bring these furs and livestock back to the emperor and complete the tasks given by the emperor, then I will soar into the sky!
The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became in my heart. Zhanzhan put on his clothes and put on airs, and asked Mo Chen in an official tone:
"How to sell these leathers?"
Hou Mochen looked up at Dou Xiao, who looked like a tribal leader, but Hou Mochen knew that this was not the country of Dai, and there was no tribal leader. Even if there were, such a big shot would not be able to come to the border. Even if he came, he would not come to the border.
It was possible to deal with him directly, so I ignored his airs and asked in less fluent Chinese:
"How much do you want?"
When Dou Xiao was addressed as "you", Dou Xiao felt a little angry, but then he thought that he was a barbaric nation, why should he care about this? He was just a stepping stone for his future success, so he straightened his back and said coldly:
"All of them." Before Hou Mochen could release the joy in his heart, Dou Xiao's next words drove him into the ice cave. "Not only these furs, I also want all your livestock."
Livestock are not bought to be that big. They have to be raised from an early age. Adult livestock are too expensive and Hou Mochen cannot afford them. If all the livestock are sold at once, then before the next batch of livestock grows up,
, they had no livestock products to sell or exchange for other daily necessities, and no milk, meat and other food. Although they could rely on hunting, the prey they obtained was uncertain, and they might not be able to hunt enough prey for several days.
Therefore, Hou Mochen simply refused and pointed to the fur wrapped on the ground:
"Yes, that's it, all of it, nothing."
Since arriving here, this was the first time he was rejected. Dou Xiao suddenly felt that he had been underestimated by a barbaric barbarian. He became furious, leaned down and said in a bad tone:
"No?!"
After beckoning, the people behind him came up, some held Hou Mochen down, and some snatched away the furs, because Hou Mochen didn't speak well, and even though he yelled loudly, no one around him could understand. They only heard what Dou Xiao said.
He violated the law and discipline, and Hou Mochen was robbed of his fur and thrown out of the city.
I originally thought I was unlucky and met a bully. The next day I took some furs to sell, but they were also snatched away by Dou Xiao. The reason why Dou Xiao didn't dare to rob his livestock was because after all, he was not a bully here, and there were still people above him.
Yang Yanyang and others were also afraid that they would lose their lives if they caused too much trouble.
After being robbed for the second time, Hou Mochen knew that he couldn't stay here anymore, so he was going to take his family to continue walking west. However, it was also on this day that Yun knocked on Dou Xiao. Dou Xiao knew that Yun saw him arrogantly on the street.
It seemed that he planned to calm down for a few days and see the situation, but as the saying goes, only three things are possible. He robbed Hou Mochen twice in a row. He was afraid that if he changed places, he would not be able to find such a big victim.
When Hou Mochen was packing his things and preparing to escape with the sound of horse hooves, he was suddenly surrounded by some soldiers, not only surrounding them, but also the entire Luo Village.
Soldiers are different from horse thieves and bandits. They all wear shiny armor and hold gleaming weapons. Their aura alone makes people shudder. The villagers are all ordinary people. They have only been to border towns and strolled around conveniently located villages.
Walking around, I haven't seen fighting for many years, and I was frightened by this battle.
After being surrounded, no one was allowed to enter or exit, so the whole village was not only shrouded in fear, but also faced with life problems.
Although the people in Luocun are not very enthusiastic towards Hou Mochen's family, at least they do not bully them like Xiajiacun. Living outside, they will be grateful if they feel the slightest warmth. Therefore, Hou Mochen's family is very concerned about the fall that the entire village has suffered because of them.
Troublesome, I felt very guilty and said that I would give all the livestock to Dou Xiao, but the soldier only said that he had sent the message, but there was no follow-up. The village continued to be surrounded, which made Hou Mochen's family very angry, and they discussed it with the soldier.
Several times, but the soldiers didn't know whether they didn't understand or ignored them. They didn't answer their words anyway, and started beating them when they were told they were anxious. After doing this several times, it aroused the anger of the entire village, although it had not yet escalated to a riot.
But it’s full of flavor.
Hou Mochen has a son named Hou Mochen Chong. The young man is nineteen years old, which is the age when he is young and energetic. However, he knows that the current situation cannot be solved by fighting. He has mentioned to his father several times that he wants to sneak out into the city to find him.
He tried to reason with others but was blocked by his father, so his temper got worse! He found an opportunity to sneak out during the night.
After dawn, the city gate opened, and Hou Mo and Chen Chong entered the city. Before entering, he had already thought about who he wanted to find. When he was walking to Luo Village, he heard that Master Zhuo had arrived at Dongbian Pass, so he wanted to find Master Zhuo with all his heart. However,
Where should I look for it? Is it okay to ask someone? Looking at the people walking around on the street, almost all of them are Han people. Thinking of the soldiers surrounding the village, I felt a little timid, so I decided to look for it myself.
After wandering around until noon without finding him, Hou Mo and Chen Chong found a person who looked kind-hearted and plucked up the courage to ask.
After hearing this, the man rubbed his chin:
"Master Zhuo, you should be basking in the sun somewhere."
The man next to him looked up at the sky:
"No, no, the sun is strong now. Master Zhuo is probably listening to a book somewhere."
Another person said to Hou Mo Chen Chong:
"Turn left ahead, there is a teahouse," and then imitating a storyteller, "Master Zhuo is listening to a book, you go."
After Hou Mo and Chen Chong thanked several people, he found the teahouse and asked the waiter. The waiter pointed to an inconspicuous place on the second floor:
"Master Zhuo is there."
Hou Mo and Chen Chong went up to the second floor. When he turned a corner, he saw four people in the bright light, stretching their necks and listening to a book. There was a person vaguely visible in the dark. He seemed to be lying on a low couch. He couldn't see what he was doing. He walked closer.
After walking for a while, I felt excited when I saw the dark face of the man in the dark, and ran over regardless.
When Ding Wangcai and others saw such a person rushing in carelessly, they immediately stood up to stop him. Xuan also sat up from the low couch and looked at him doubtfully.
Hou Mo and Chen Chong shouted excitedly:
"Master Zhuo? Master Zhuo?"
Hyun glanced down, and sure enough, everyone was attracted by the movement here. The storyteller stopped talking. Everyone looked up at them, and then looked at Hou Mo and Chen Chong carefully:
"Yes, I am."
Hou Mo and Chen Chong said again:
"I, I," pointed at himself vigorously, "I'm being bullied!"
Hyun raised his eyebrows, Hou Mo and Chen Chong were not very old, but life in the grassland had made him strong, so it would be fair to say that he bullied others.
Soothingly said:
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
He signaled Ding Wangcai and the others to let go, asked him to sit at the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, and pushed all the food in front of his hand.
From the time he came out last night to now, Hou Mo and Chen Chong haven't drank water or eaten anything, so he didn't feel hungry at all. But now that Mr. Zhuo has been found, he feels much more at ease. After relaxing, he feels thirsty and hungry, and can't help but devour it.
The living circle of ancient people was small, and there were not many things to do for recreation. After hearing what Hou Mo and Chen Chong said, it seemed that something was going on inside, so the entire teahouse and even some passers-by came in and waited in various comfortable positions.
Listen below.
After Hou Mo and Chen Chong had eaten and drank enough, he wiped his mouth and said:
"Grab the furs, our livestock, all of them!"
The entire teahouse was silent, with questions flying around!
Hyun rubbed his head and asked in Xianbei dialect:
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Hou Mo and Chen Chong were stunned, and then told the story in Xianbei dialect. Some of the people listening also understood Xianbei dialect, and they enthusiastically translated for everyone to listen to.
Hou Mo and Chen Chong have never seen Dou Xiao in person. He only heard from his father that he was a very thin Han man with soldiers. This information is enough for Xun and everyone else. The thin and arrogant people here can still
Who is there? But just in case, Dan Xuan took Hou Mo and Chen Chong to the village first, followed by a large number of people watching the excitement.
When they arrived outside the village, the soldiers didn't know that they were helping the enemy, so when they saw Huan coming, they didn't have any special thoughts. They greeted Huan enthusiastically as usual, but Huan didn't make things difficult for them. He called out their heads and said that he wanted to bring someone with him.
He went back to investigate some things, and then told them not to embarrass the villagers. He didn't give them any more explanations. He left a group of soldiers to pose questions and left with Hou Mochen.
On the way back, Chong told Hou Mochen everything. The name of "Black-faced Master Zhuo" was not only resounding in Kunyu Kingdom, but also in Dai Kingdom, so Hou Mochen knew that his son had actually found Master Zhuo.
I feel confident.
When they found Dou Xiao, Xun did not come forward immediately. After confirming to Hou Mochen that it was Dou Xiao, he ordered them to wait where they were before walking towards Dou Xiao.
The border town is a place as big as the palm of your hand, and anything can cause a stir, not to mention Dou Xiao, a person who has always been annoying. Therefore, Dou Xiao had heard the news and thought of a lot of ways to deal with Xun.
Seeing Hyun walking towards him, he carefully observed Hyun's expression, which seemed to be the same as usual. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought with peace of mind:
How could a third-grade official care about a barbarian?
A smile greeted Hyun.
But what he never expected was that Hyun walked up to him and punched him without saying a word, causing him to fall to the ground and roll several times before he stopped.
He covered his face, propped up his upper body, and accused loudly and righteously:
"Why do you hit people!"
Before he could get up, Hyun had already chased him and was riding on him, shooting from left to right:
"Hit people? I never hit people, only humans!"
Just now, he was righteously accusing Hyun, but now he was rolling and wailing like his grandson. The dust instantly covered most of their figures, and Dou Xiao's blood was flying everywhere.
This movement attracted a lot of people, and when they saw it, they rushed forward and pulled Xun away, wondering how Dou Xiao's small body could withstand Xun's attack.
Dou Xiao saw that Xuan was blocked by everyone and could not get closer. His courage was gone, so he jumped on his feet and shouted loudly:
"Why do you hit me?!"
Hyun tried her best to break away from the restraints of everyone, but she was outnumbered and there was nothing she could do. Ding Wangcai and the others were also afraid of really beating Dou Xiao, so they didn't come to help her, even though they couldn't kick her.
Although she couldn't hit her, Ke Huan still punched her with her fists and kicked her feet, which frightened everyone and had to carefully avoid her while trying to stop her.
Being unable to hit Dou Xiao made Xun even angrier, gritting his teeth and cursing:
"Why?! Don't you know what you have done? Do you think that just because you are an official, you can do whatever you want? The government and the people are interdependent. The people cannot live a good life without the protection of the government. Likewise,*
*It cannot exist without the support of the people! Your rights are for you to serve the people and the country, not for you to use them to do evil! Don’t you understand that water can carry a boat and also capsize it? Oh, you
I really don’t understand! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so arrogant!” (To be continued)
