Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

After arranging Zhao Ji's mission, Qiao Jiwei drove the bullock cart to the county seat again.Before Qian Dayong was around, Qiao Jiwei thought the bull was very obedient, but now without Qian Dayong, Qiao Jiwei didn't take much care of the bull, so the bull didn't listen to Qiao Jiwei on the road.

Although Xue Hu is protected by the county magistrate, for this reason he can do evil without scruple.In front of the county magistrate, Qiao Jiwei's movement of Xue Hu seemed like a fly shaking a big tree.But it's not without a turnaround.Since Xue Hu has the relationship with the county magistrate, Qiao Jiwei can naturally have a relationship with the county magistrate.

According to his previous habit, he went to shopkeeper Guo first.

Seeing that Qiao Jiwei came to the store again, shopkeeper Guo thought that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and welcomed Qiao Jiwei: "Here we come, sit inside."

Originally, shopkeeper Guo had customers, but now he threw the customers who bought clothes to the waiter in the shop, and brought Qiao Jiwei into the back door by himself.

Qiao Jiwei saw that the room he was in was piled up with piles of clothes, and there was only a set of light yellow tables and chairs in the middle of the room.Shopkeeper Guo pulled up a chair for Qiao Jiwei to sit on, and put a teacup on the table to make tea for Qiao Jiwei.Qiao Jiwei hurriedly took the teapot in Guo's hand and said, "Don't tell me, I'm not thirsty." Then he said: "Let's talk about serious business. Have you heard about Xue Hu taking over the girl these days?"

Shopkeeper Guo said: "I have heard of it vaguely, but I have been in the store these days, so I don't know much about it."

Qiao Jiwei's eyes flickered. Hearing what shopkeeper Guo said, it seemed that everyone in the county had heard about this incident to some extent, but they probably hadn't experienced it personally, so they were indifferent. "If we stop this evil deed and punish Xue Hu, is there any hope?"

Shopkeeper Guo frowned, "It's not hopeless. I also have some friendship with the county magistrate, but this county magistrate is Xue Hu's cousin. If you and I fight against Xue Hu, I'm afraid we will hit the stone with an egg?"

Qiao Jiwei smiled slightly, "Since it's possible, I don't want to let Xue Hu get away with it, I must save Miss Xiang'er. But of course, I also have to ask you and shopkeeper Hewu to help."

Shopkeeper Guo said with a smile, "I feel sorry for poor people being bullied. Of course, I will help if I can. However, how do you plan to punish Xue Hu?"

Qiao Jiwei asked: "Have you ever met a couple of literati in the county?"

Shopkeeper Guo said: "I've met a lot of people who dance and write. Ji Wei, you asked this, did you come up with a good idea?"

Qiao Jiwei nodded, "I think of a trick."

Shopkeeper Guo was about to pour tea for himself, but the teapot was taken away, and Qiao Jiwei poured tea for him.

Shopkeeper Guo was flattered, "The literati in the county will have a reception in the future, and I can take you there."

"That's nice." Qiao Jiwei smiled knowingly.

Two days later, shopkeeper Guo brought Qiao Jiwei into a tavern in the county. When the two entered, a dozen or so poets in the county were already sitting at the dining table, chattering all over the place. .Everyone was very curious when they saw shopkeeper Guo, who was selling clothes, bringing in a handsome young man.A well-meaning literati asked: "Master Guo, which family is this young man from?"

Shopkeeper Guo made an introduction for Qiao Jiwei, "Qiao Jiwei, he came up with the idea of ​​dyeing sackcloth to make sorghum wine."

Everyone at the dinner table opened their mouths wide in shock when they heard the big name.Isn't this man a talented young man who can dye hemp clothes and make sorghum wine?In the past few months, he has only heard about his reputation but never seen his real person. Now that Qiao Jiwei is in front of everyone, and he is so handsome, these people really can't believe it.Everyone got up one after another.

Shopkeeper Guo still has things to do in the store, so he left the tavern as soon as he sent Qiao Jiwei here.

Facing so many strangers, Qiao Jiwei was not stage-frightened. He watched and listened to all directions at the dinner table, and moved the whole set of socializing at the dinner table in modern times here.Although the literati were somewhat arrogant, they did not dislike Qiao Jiwei's exquisite posture.During the Ming Dynasty, the tastes of merchants became refined, and literati became secular, and many of them sold calligraphy for a living.Businessmen and literati often made friends, so Qiao Jiwei would naturally be welcomed by them when he came to the dining table where literati gathered.

Qiao Jiwei was like a fish in water here, and after a few casual conversations, he explained Xue Hu's arrogance.The literati were relatively simple-minded, and when Qiao Jiwei told them about Xiang'er's tragic experience, they were filled with righteous indignation.

A literati was so angry that he hammered the table with such force that the wine glass flew to the ground, "There is such a criminal, hum! This person is beyond the tolerance of heaven."

Another literati sighed again and again, "Oh, parents and officials whitewash the peace, rise and fall, and the people are suffering."

In addition, several other literati at the dining table also bowed or looked up, mourning, righteous anger, mourning... making various gestures.

There was a smile on the corner of Qiao Jiwei's mouth. He said these words had achieved the desired effect.

He made a gesture of helplessness, "Since this is the case, what can you do to get out of trouble?"

Hearing this, the fierce expressions of all the literati disappeared on their faces, and they became stunned instead.They talked in twos and threes, but after chatting for a long time, they couldn't think of any good plan to save Xiang'er.This is actually not surprising. Literati are good at criticizing current politics and hurting the spring and autumn, but they are really not good at solving practical problems. Otherwise, their poems and essays would have been boring and full of reasoning and serious tone.

Qiao Jiwei took a sip of his drink, and gave the solution he came up with at the right time, "Since everyone has no good ideas, why don't you write more articles in the past few days, tell the people in the county what happened to Xiang'er's family, and then tell Xue Hu about the past few years? The evil things you did are written and written. In doing so, you are actually helping the Xiang'er family."

Using elegant words to expose people to the blue sky and broad daylight, and attacking fiercely without blood, that is what literati are best at.

Hearing this, the dining table suddenly seemed to explode happily. "Hey, why didn't I think of such a good idea."

Once happy, everyone drank a few more glasses of wine, called the restaurant for more food, and said to Qiao Jiwei, "Okay, let's write down the relevant poems today."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiwei stood up, bowed his waist and cupped his hands to everyone: "Okay, I will thank everyone on behalf of Xiang'er's family. Don't worry, once you write related poems, shopkeeper Guo and I will also give them to you." You have some money."

All the literati quickly waved their hands, "Hey, we are doing this for the people wholeheartedly, and money is nothing to worry about."

"Hey," Qiao Jiwei couldn't see such coyness, "Those articles didn't come from a strong wind, they all consumed your hard work. I give you money, it's only right and proper."

Qiao Jiwei went downstairs and told the tavern manager: "Don't bring all the specialty dishes of your tavern to that table. I will pay for what they eat today."

The tavern smiled flatteringly: "The food and drink are in charge, but we won't charge you for any of them today. I just ask you to make sorghum wine in the future and sell us dozens of pots." The shopkeeper is also a smart man. As far as the relationship is concerned, how can the annual income be measured by a table of wine and food.

Qiao Jiwei weighed it carefully for a moment, thinking that the contract is also dead, and everything should be accommodated after discussing with the shopkeeper Wu, so he said bluntly: "Okay."

In the past few days, literati in the county have written more than a dozen poems and essays exposing Xue Hu, and one literati has more ideas, and even wrote Xue Hu's story into a picture book novel.These poems were secretly manipulated by Qiao Jiwei, and spread everywhere in the county.What Xue Hu is Gao Yanei in the Water Margin, with a human face and a beast heart, etc.The crowd was excited.Xue Hu's family suffers from the spittle of the people in the county every day, and now even when they go out, they walk with their heads down.

But these are just necessary public opinion support. These days, he went up and down the county government office together with shopkeeper Guo, shopkeeper Wu and others, which really took a lot of effort.

That day, Qiao Jiwei was rushing to the tavern of shopkeeper Wu, to attend the reception of the master of the county government.He saw a brave young man leading a large group of people rushing towards him.This person is exactly Xue Hu, with strong shoulders, round waist, square face, and looks like a big boy.He went straight to Qiao Jiwei, but Qiao Jiwei had no time to escape and was caught by him.He grabbed Qiao Jiwei's neck fiercely, "Don't fucking meddle in my business, go, let those people withdraw their sour articles."

Qiao Jiwei stared at him without blinking, with a neither humble nor overbearing expression on his face, "What if I don't?"

Xue Hu clenched his hands into fists, and said harshly to Qiao Jiwei, "Try it!"

Qiao Jiwei sneered, "Hmph! If you want to be unscrupulous again, try it too."

The expression on Xue Hu's face suddenly turned ferocious, he raised his fist, and was about to punch Qiao Jiwei hard.

"Stop!" A group of yamen servants lined up on the streets of the county seat, one of them quickly walked up to the two, separated them, pressed Qiao Jiwei's back to make him bow his head, folded his arms on his back, and gave His hands tied the rope and fastened the dead buckle.A policeman quickly pushed Qiao Jiwei in the direction of the county government. "Walk."

The expression on Xue Hu's face was a bit disappointed, "It would be great if they came earlier, so that I can beat up that kid. Mom is pretty handsome, if it's a girl..." Xue Hu suddenly smirked .

The people behind Xue Hu whispered: "Brother, men can also..."

"Trickster Qiao Jiwei," only heard the heavy sound of boards on the stage, it was the county magistrate who was showing his power on the stage, "You have organized the county's talents these few days, spread rumors, and confused everyone, what should you do?" Standing outside the county government office Looking at hundreds of people, Xue Hu stood directly in front with a mocking smile on his face.

Qiao Jiwei knelt under the stage, and there were arresters wearing black and red cotton robes lined up on the left and right. Although the pressure from the audience was so great, Qiao Jiwei still had an uneasy expression on his face, "Master, listen to the grassroots carefully. The villain Xue Huqiang I can’t sit idly by robbing the women of the people, but this person has done a lot of evil, and the common people don’t care about provoking him. I have no choice but to tell him what he did, and hope that the elder will understand the people’s sentiments.”

"Bold," the county magistrate saw that Qiao Jiwei was unconvinced, and shook his head angrily. The handles on the left and right sides of the official hat dangled up and down. "I want you to plead guilty, but I don't want you to bewitch the crowd here. It's pure nonsense. If you drag it on, beat up twenty big boards."

As soon as the county magistrate issued an order, there was a sudden commotion outside the county office.Everyone shouted against the county magistrate's order, "My lord, he is a very good man." They crowded each other and rushed forward, with an irresistible trend.

The master also persuaded, "My lord, look at the public opinion, this Qiao Jiwei can't be beaten easily."

The county magistrate looked outside, glanced at Xue Hu, and put his hands on his forehead. In desperation, he had to temporarily take Qiao Jiwei into custody.
