Qin Official

Chapter 55 The meat rots in the pot

(Please vote for recommendation!)

With a roar like thunder, the residents surrounding Zhong's house spontaneously gave 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 he had not yet taken it out of its sheath...

But even so, Heifu's arrival was enough to make the people here tremble with fear.

It is said 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 he even prepared to have his Tashizui taken away. But he never expected that at this moment, his seemingly cowardly and honest eldest brother would burst into blood that he had not seen for a long time...

When Heifu recited the law, he learned that what was more serious than stealing mulberry trees and picking locks was that if one dared to enter a house without being asked or break into a private house, the fate of the intruder would become uncertain.

Because the "Thieves' Law" says: "Anyone who enters a person's house or house without any reason, gets on someone's vehicle or boat, or leads someone to violate the law will be killed immediately. He is not guilty."

"At that time" means immediately, at the moment, taking action immediately, emphasizing the ongoing time and sense of presence, which is equivalent to giving the owner unlimited defense rights!

Zhong probably memorized this sentence while reciting it for him, but it was one thing to be allowed by the law. It was another thing to bravely stand up and stop them when Li Zheng instigated everyone to force the door.

He did what he said, and when Hei Fu was not at home, he was the pillar of the family, guarding the safety of the family with his small body.

"It's good to come back. Mom and the others are fine."

Zhong smiled. He shouted so hard just now, but he felt that all his strength was drained 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. They all avoided Heifu's eyes and turned their heads towards Li Zheng. "

Li Zhengze's face was stiff and he said reluctantly: "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 the villain's instigation."

He glared at Satomasa, pointed to the threshold of his house and said: "Kurofu puts his 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 leader 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 chief of the pavilion? How come they don't know?

Li Zheng also opened his eyes wide and scolded: "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 pavilion chief, is not a fake!"

An old voice sounded, and everyone turned around, only to see the prison gate and Jing returning 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 head 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 highly respected and everyone dared not 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 Hei Fu 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 his house with a face full of anger. Didn't he completely form a deadly feud?

Although Yan Zheng was not from his hometown, he had served as the third elder in his hometown and was highly regarded by the public. He was merciless when he scolded Li Zheng!

"As an upright person, you should be responsible for managing the place, keeping the people in harmony and keeping your neighbors safe, but you wantonly incited people 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 our 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're right here, you've done it all!"

"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 a bit of secret hatred towards 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, you are a fellow villager. You know your mother, and she doesn't want things to get too ugly." Zhong Yiran is too soft-hearted and always likes to forgive when neighbors have disputes.

Although Heifu was a little reluctant, he sighed and 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 Heifu.

"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 spread it across 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 engineer! Don't worry, this thing will be spread throughout the county in less than half a month. 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 all applauded, 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 treadmills are heavy. Heifu is the chief of the pavilion, so why not just use my ox cart!"

"The oxen from Lijianmen's house 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 senior official, he can kill people, and he can yell at the two of 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, who may replace Li Zheng and become the person who is least afraid to offend people...

Li Zheng no longer cares about these things. What he is worried about is that with Yan Zheng's endorsement, the black man will definitely sue him severely in the county! It is somewhat difficult for people to sue an official, but it is different when an official sues an official. 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 Zhong.

In short, everyone blamed Li Zheng for today's events and hoped that Hei Fu would not hold a grudge against him.

Heifu didn't pay much attention to the crowd. He thanked Li Jianmen and Tian Dian for their kindness and agreed to use Tian Dian's horse and Li Jianmen's car to go to the county town. These two people also rushed to apply for a "biography" for him. When Li Zheng was unable to be a director, the two Li Zhongxiao officials could also write letters of introduction for people.

At this moment, the two of them had already assumed that they had been dismissed from their posts.

After that, Heifu asked Jing and Qu to move the tread out, and he bowed to Yan Zheng. He was not sure that he could please Yan Zheng. This time, he owed Yan a big 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 seat to present this treadmill? 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 the chief officials and participate in the official assessment. As for the person who presented 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 help 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 taking advantage of outsiders, it's better to keep the best meat in your own cauldron! If you can really get a reward from this piece of meat, my brother-in-law will regard it as a wedding gift that my younger brother owes you and my sister!"
