Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber
Chapter 57
Sending Zhen Yingjia off, Jiang Wu came in with a smile on his face, sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, waved his hands and shouted: "Bring it up!"
Both Qi Zhou and Jia She were puzzled because they were waiting to see what he would bring up.
After a while, a soldier of a special battalion had a dusty face and the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he picked up a man in his hand and threw it on the ground. "General, he can run quite well, but he was really unlucky to meet me."
Qi Zhou couldn't help laughing, pointed at Jia She and said, "You have spoiled it all."
Jia Shen muttered: "What does it have to do with me, what he said is clearly the truth."
Looking at the man on the ground, he has a square face, a medium build, and a large black mole on his face is very conspicuous, all of which are the appearance of the little official Zhang Chao mentioned in the copy.
With Zhang Chao's ashen face, he didn't make a sound for half a day.
Qi Zhou sighed, "Please invite Mr. Zhang to sit down and have a cup of tea."
Someone moved a chair outside, Zhang Chao was probably really tired, so he sat down politely.
Qi Zhou said: "I never lied to Ling Tang, I do have a letter of mitigation in my hand."
Zhang Chao remained silent.
Jia Amnesty became impatient again: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, the emperor is behind us, so we can't stand up for anyone."
Qi Zhou interjected, "Although his words are rough, they are very real."
Zhang Chao still lowered his head.
Jiang Wu said, "Could it be that you are holding onto others?"
Zhang Chao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he was silent for a while, and finally burst into tears. "My lord, the villain is really wronged."
The three breathed a sigh of relief.Just open your mouth.
It turns out that Zhang Chao has been an official in this granary for 18 years, and he saw that the granary was full and empty.When Han County Magistrate Qianfan burned the warehouse, he coaxed many small officials into one place to get drunk and left them, so that people could light fires everywhere.Pian Zhang Chao is an obedient person, he knows in his heart that he knows too much, he was a little vigilant, he poured a lot of wine on his sleeve, and never passed out.Hearing the county magistrate laughed and sent him back to the house, he pretended to be drunk.Not long after, there was a sound of a lock outside the door, and he rushed to the door in fright, seeing General Tie crossing the road outside.
Zhang Chao didn't dare to shout, fearing that he would silence him first, he suddenly remembered that his colleague gave him a steel knife that day.The knife in the colleague's home was broken, so he slipped to the market to buy this knife. The daughter-in-law at home sent a message that she had already bought one.That colleague hated having leftovers at home the most, so he gave them to him casually.Zhang Chao thought he was lucky, and when the outsiders left, he took a knife to split the lock.
Qi Zhou and Jia She looked at each other, and it was obvious that the colleague belonged to Qi's father, Tete and the officials who came to investigate the case later left him alive.
But he is inside, it is very difficult to split.Not long after, a fire broke out outside the door, and Zhang Chao became more and more anxious. He surged up with strength, and broke the lock with a sudden swing.He stumbled and escaped, seeing fireworks all around him soaring like a black dragon, if he hadn't really known the way in the warehouse, escaping with his life would have been incomparable.
Zhang Chao cried again: "Just like the adults said, the little official has no choice. The superior insists on the little official doing some hooking up, and all the colleagues have done it, what can the little official do?" After speaking, his face was full of sadness.He also said, "Many affairs are handled by small officials, and those at the top only shrink back, pretending to know everything, and it will only be a crime of negligence in the future."
Qi Zhou nodded and said, "I know everything."
Jia Amnesty added, "I don't think your family is mediocre. You must have benefited a lot in 18."
Zhang Chao said with a wry smile, "It's all stored in one Zhuangzi."
"Do you have the account books?" Jiang Wu asked him.
"Have!"
Jia She clapped his hands together: "It's so easy." Yin said to him, "Just don't worry, you are nothing more than a small official, and we won't benefit you if we take you. What we want now is an official position in the Jiangnan officialdom. Help us poke some down, and you will pay off the crime."
Qi Zhou couldn't help smiling wryly.This is too straightforward, but there is not a single word of lies.
It was also the first time for Zhang Chao to see Shangguan speak so frankly, and he was much relieved.
So he sent someone to go to Zhuangzi to get the account book without mentioning it.
Not long after the account books were brought, Qi Zhou looked at them and sighed again and again. "Enough to fill many offices."
In the next few days, they were sorting out various account books and evidence statements, and at the same time wrote a secret note and prepared to send it to Beijing.However, judging from the books, Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu Province, is indeed corrupt according to various evidences in recent years.Someone from Jiang Wen also sent a message that Xu Mei's family members had never brought him to work in their hometown, and the whole family moved to another place half a year ago, and they disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Wu sighed: "This Xu Mei is very heroic."
Jia She said with a snort, "Why do I think he will escape without permission?"
Qi Zhou thought about it: "The letter said he was innocent. If he was innocent, why should he bear such a serious crime?"
Jiang Wudao: "How about going to meet a real person?"
Jia She hurriedly jumped up: "Very good! Go to Jinling! I miss my son."
Qi and Jiang shook their heads and laughed.
So he packed up and left the next day. Han Zhan, the county magistrate of Suzhou, personally sent him out of the city.
The group hurried on their way regardless of the scenery along the way, and arrived in Jinling a few days ago. Zhen Yingjia, the president of the Jinling Provincial Sports Institute, led many officials to greet him outside the city.There is no need to elaborate on flattery and flattery.Xu Mei, the prefect, said that he was ill and never came to welcome him.
The few of them were surrounded by officials to see some street scenes all the way to the post house, after a little settlement, Qi Zhouyin bluntly said that he wanted to go to the magistrate Mr. Xu.
Jinling officials persuaded him a few words, but seeing that he insisted on going, he had no choice but to let it go.Then she was accompanied by Zhen Yingjia.
It was only two streets away from the post house, and when we got to the street, we heard a horse sweeping across the street in front of us like a wind.Because the horse was so fast, the man on the horse was dressed in white.Hearing a "snap", the horse had disappeared.Hearing "Ouch" again, he looked back and saw that Zhen Yingjia had covered his face with one hand.
Jia She's eyesight is not good, but he also felt that the shadow just now was very familiar, so he quietly turned his head to glance at Peng Kai and Peng Ke, and he saw that the faces of the two were ashen.Looking at Zhen Yingjia with a smile, he said, "What's the matter?" The words were full of teasing.
Zhen Yingjia had a welt on his face.
Qi Zhou sighed: "I don't think there are many rangers in Jinling City. It's important for Mr. Zhen to go back and find a doctor."
Although Zhen Yingjia didn't understand why, but because of her facial expression, it was really inconvenient to go with them again.He thought that nothing would happen to Xu Mei anyway, so he left two people to lead the way, and went to the magistrate's yamen with Qi Zhou and others.
Because Xu Zhifu was ill, everyone went straight to the backyard to visit him.There are very few people in the mansion, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Fang has dismissed a lot.This prefect Xu thought he was preparing himself to be heroic.
Just after entering the backyard, Jia Amnesty noticed the familiarity and slipped away to Jiang Wu.Jiang Wu also slipped away from him, and both of them went to see Qi Zhou.
Qi Zhou looked normal, walking ahead with his hands behind his back.
When he came to Xu Zhifu's room, he saw that the room was very gloomy, and two boys helped him up to the door to meet him.This person was only in his fifties, wearing a dark blue home-cooked autumn shirt and a soft hat, with a fair complexion and a few strands of beard under his chin that were already grey.When Xu Mei came up to pay respects, several people were polite again.
Jia She was in a hurry, so he bypassed Jiang Wu Qizhou to let the soldiers who came with them clear the field, and blasted all the servants in Xu Zhifu's house away.
Qi Zhou looked at Master Xu and sighed, "Can I ask my father to come out and see you?"
Then Xu Mei was taken aback when he heard the words: "What does the imperial envoy mean?"
Jiang Wu also sighed: "We are not fools, what is the use of giving Zhen Yingjia a whip? Besides, this yard is really too similar to Qi Zhou's yard. How can there be such a similar father and mother, even the bonsai cut out They all look alike."
Xu Mei looked at them for a long time and said: "Your official really doesn't understand."
Jia Amnesty got annoyed, and said bluntly: "Let Mr. Qi come out quickly. One person counts the short and the other counts the long. What's more, all of us are on Xiao Qi's side."
Xu Mei shook his head: "My lords, can you speak clearly?"
Qi Zhou suddenly said: "Are you Xu Mei?"
Xu Mei immediately said: "I am Xu Mei."
"Then who is Xu Mei that Zhen Yingjia met?"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and no one coughed for a long time.
Not to mention a stick of incense kung fu, only to hear a "crack" sound, a large dressing mirror in the room turned away, and a person came out from behind.Wearing a Tsing Yi cap, short beard and gray hair, his face is five or six points similar to Qi Zhou's.
Qi Zhou stood up slowly, walked over step by step, until he was in front of him, suddenly hit his knees on the ground, hugged his calf and cried loudly.
The old man caressed Qi Zhou's back neck and let out a long sigh, but said nothing.
Jia She and Jiang Wu also stood aside with red eyes.
When Qi Zhou got better, one of them helped him up and brought him to the old man's side, saluting together: "I have seen Uncle Qi!"
Qi's father let out another long sigh, because Qi Zhou helped him to sit on an official hat chair in front of the window.
Seeing that Qi Zhouli was not in a hurry by his father's side, Jia She couldn't help but went over and said in a low voice, "Hey! You're so stupid! Cry! Act like a baby!"
The whole room laughed.
At this time, Xu Mei brought tea, Qi Zhou took it, and offered it to the old father with both hands.
Qi's father took two sips of tea and handed it back to Qi Zhou, Fang spoke slowly.
Fifteen years ago, he got a friend's letter, saying that he built a beautiful garden, which is exquisite and unparalleled, and invited him to go south to enjoy it.Seeing that his writing was full of pride, Qi's father thought it would be a good idea to come to the garden, so he did.Seeing that although his friend's garden is small, it really lives up to the word "exquisite", and the bonsai of various colors of flowers and trees is full of wit and wit, so he highly appreciates it, so he stayed for a longer time.
There is a saying that "people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven".
One day, the two were talking in the pavilion, and the old servant at the door came to report in a panic: someone had a post from Prince Yizhong and wanted to see the owner of the garden.The two were surprised, they had nothing to do with the powerful, let alone the prince.
Then they went to the front hall together, and saw a manager with oily hair and noodles looked at them proudly and said: "Your house is a nice garden, how about giving it to our prince?"
Father Qi's friends were furious!Lian said, "It's unreasonable!" He couldn't help saying that he was thrown out.
Qi's father stopped him twice but didn't stop him, he stamped his feet and said, "Why bother to offend them."
The friend snorted and said, "How can you be humiliated by a villain?" Because he didn't think so.
Unexpectedly, in only three or five days, officers and soldiers suddenly smashed the door overnight, saying that some thieves jumped into their walls.
The old servant believed it was true and put the man in.Unexpectedly, the leader came in and snorted: "This is a den of thieves, take them all!"
He couldn't help but capture Qi's father, his friend and three servants who were still in the dream, and sent them straight to the prison.
Father Qi's friend was originally a squire, how could he suffer such a crime?Angry and wronged, he was only in prison for four or five months, and his illness disappeared.A few days later, his old servant also left.Father Qi and the other two servants did not see the light of day.Here, the resentment and injustice of the world are exhausted.Fortunately, Qi's father is open-minded in nature, and firmly believes that the family of good deeds must be blessed by God, and his mood gradually stabilizes.
Two years later, a big man came to the prison. Although he was dressed as a fisherman, he had bright eyes and extraordinary appearance.Qi's father's cell is next to his, and the conversation is quite interesting, so he often chats to relieve boredom.
Only half a month later, one night, while Qi's father was still in a dream, someone suddenly sprinkled some water on his face.He opened his eyes in a daze—it was the big man in the cell next door.The man smiled and said, "Sir, would you like to go out together?"
Father Qi saw that he was followed by a few big men, armed with knives and guns, and carrying a small lantern.Yin smiled and said, "Alright!"
This group of people were Taihu water bandits, and the leader was Li San, who was accidentally surrounded by officers and soldiers, and hid in a fishing boat pretending to be a fisherman.He pretended so much that the officers and soldiers believed it, but wouldn't it be difficult for them to lose the water bandits?He was still arrested, thinking of him as a scapegoat in his heart, he was never sent to death row, and he was still saying "another unlucky ghost."
Leading two servants from a friend's house to follow Li San out, Qi's father thought he was out of danger and would see the light of day again.So I thanked him deeply and wanted to say goodbye and go home.Unexpectedly, Li San didn't want to let him go at all, and said with a smile, "How can such a great talent be buried? Since the imperial court doesn't know gold inlaid with jade, I, Li San, know." case.
After a short time, their people found out the whole story of Qi's father and his friends.
It turned out that at that time the eldest son of Prince Yizhong just came to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and he fell in love with a young lady on the flower boat, and he loved it very much.A local squire gave him a small garden to raise the young man.That day, Qing Guan Er was watching the scenery upstairs, and happened to see the garden of Father Qi's friend next door.The prince said with a smile, "That's easy. I sent someone to buy my father's film." Because he called a capable steward to buy the garden.
Who knows that the steward thinks that his master will be the crown prince sooner or later, so there is no need to buy it?As soon as the film was delivered, Gu Bao said that the owner of the garden was crying and shouting to make progress to his master.So he came to the door and demanded a garden.
Pian Qi's father's friend is a man of integrity, and he was kicked out after a swearing.How can a person who bullies others no matter what happens, swallow this breath?Turning back and crying, he complained about how rude and swearing the owner of the garden was, and said: "The man said, 'If his father becomes the son of heaven, it will be a disaster for all people'!"
The prince was furious: "Don't worry about making trouble!" He said with hatred, "Let them teach you how to behave like a troublemaker!"
The people below jumped up quickly when they heard this, and within a few days, Qi Fu's friend and Qi Fu were taken into prison for the crime of "collaborating with bandits".
Qi's father was heartbroken when he heard this.While thinking about revenge, and because Li San refused to let him go anyway, he had to detain Jiangnan, and he inevitably advised them, and gradually developed a sense of loyalty.
Another water bandit inquired about the family affairs for him. It turned out that the son of Prince Yizhong didn't know what happened to the owner of the garden, let alone a friend of the owner who was also imprisoned.Another person had smoothed over the matter long ago, Qi Zhou came twice and found nothing, so he had to go back first.
Twelve years ago, the water bandits captured an official on the river. It was Xu Mei, the new county magistrate of Jiaxing transferred from the north.Li San was overjoyed to see that his stature, appearance and age were somewhat similar to Qi's father!Instead, Xu Mei was detained in Shuizhai, and Qi's father was asked to be the county magistrate of Jiaxing.At this time, Qi's father was already in the bandit camp and had no choice but to be surrounded by water bandits, so he could only serve as an official, waving his long sleeves among various officials and bandits.Later, he ostensibly took refuge in Prince Zhongzhong, and after three years of office, he was transferred to Suzhou County Magistrate for two terms. He took the granary for the county magistrate, and deliberately attracted Prince Yizhong and later Prince Leshan into it. He also gave a lot of food to the water bandits.Later, he had to be promoted to the magistrate of Jiangsu.
Knowing that he violated the law of the country, he dared not go to the news with his family.
Over the past ten years, the sea has changed, and things have changed.Prince Yizhong left early, and the son is now the king of Leshan County.The young man stole money and ran away with others, and the steward who provoked the trouble was caught and beheaded by the water bandits in front of Qi's father's friend's tomb.Qi's father thought that his whole life would be like this.
In the old year, I suddenly got news from the loyal prince that the eldest son was recommended by Rong Guogong to become an official, and he was a confidant of the saint.
Father Qi was terrified.I am afraid that my crime will be leaked and my son's official career will be delayed.I also know that the four kings and eight princes are all the emperors, and sooner or later they will be liquidated by the saints, and I am afraid that their son will be implicated.Later, he begged Li San to send someone to inquire, and knowing that the Rongguo Mansion had transferred to the present emperor, he felt relieved, so he thought of getting out.
Qi's father has also taken in a lot of confidants in the past ten years, because Han Zhan, the current county magistrate of Suzhou, found an empty position because he secretly calculated.Frightened, Han Zhan naturally came to discuss with Shangguan.Qi's father knew that the loyal prince was different from the father and son of the Xianyi loyal prince, but he was a loving one, but it was a pity that the sky did not help him.Then go to secret letter with him.The way is to get the grace of the prince to know the situation and promote him, and there is nothing in return.This time, my subordinates have committed negligence, and they can no longer cover it up.So set up a plan.Let him take this crime with himself, and only ask the prince to settle his family for him, change his name and surname, and let him take away his family property and become a rich man.Leave some clues to prove that I have a breeze in my sleeves.In this way, those who cannot be found out will naturally be counted on others.
The loyal prince valued him very much, and was reluctant to part with such a good minister, so he quickly replied: "If you know the emperor is clean, don't seek other methods."
Father Qi resigned firmly and said: "If a subordinate has a fault, it is the fault of the minister. It should be blamed." Because of presenting a lot of evidence, the big fault can be easily pushed to the camp of the King of Leshan County. Some spare time for Leshan County King.
Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, the loyal prince had no choice but to let go, and sighed endlessly.After discussing with several confidantes, they couldn't find another way.
He also sent a letter to Li San that the Lord Loyalty wanted to throw Xu Mei out in the case of the fire in the granary.Li San felt reasonable after hearing this, so he sent him over and told him to take care of him.
That Xu Mei was really innocent, and the dignified court official fell into the hands of water bandits. He watched others take his position to get promoted and get rich, and he couldn't even return home.Xu Mei was almost exterminated many times over the past ten years, all of which were stopped by Qi's father.He knew early on that Qi's father was like him, and also let the water bandits trap here, dancing on the tip of the knife every day, although he was resentful, because he was the one who gained fame, he vaguely felt a bit of sympathy.After spending time with the bandits in the water village, I only came up with some ideas to make myself feel better, and I can be regarded as an unnamed military adviser in the water village.However, he doesn't hide his thoughts, and often shows disdain unconsciously. Li San never believed him.Hearing that Qi's father wanted to throw him out, he didn't give up.
When someone came, Qi's father and Xu Mei said: "Master Xu, you and I have been involuntary for more than ten years, and neither of you has had a good time. Now it is an opportunity." Yin told the discussion between himself and the loyal prince.He said: "I have used your name as an official for more than ten years. Although I have gained some benefits for Li San, I am innocent. I have left some traces with the imperial envoy who will investigate the case in the future. Now the loyal prince has been arranged. You family members of the Xu family, I am going to make a fuss in the future. If the imperial envoy is not a fool, he will be able to find a lot of evidence to prove that "Master Xu Mei" is a scapegoat. Therefore, you will be innocent in the future. There is no need to worry about being hunted down by the court. However, you can no longer be an official."
Xu Mei originally thought that he would die this time, but who would have thought that with such an arrangement, not only would he be able to protect his family, but he would be able to return the two of them to their thrones!Why not?I only feel joy falling from the sky, suddenly like a dream.He hurriedly said: "If I become an official again, I will silence Li San."
Father Qi nodded in agreement. "After you and I escaped, you took the guide of the loyal lord and changed your name and surname to find your family to become a rich man. I wandered with my friends in the rivers and lakes and dared not go home. From then on, we promised to have nothing to do." Once a military adviser, no one can be clean.
I thought that everything was ready, and I just waited for someone from the court to follow the steps.Unexpectedly, the letter from Prince Zhongcheng said that the imperial envoy for the Suzhou granary case was Qi Zhou, the head of the household department!Father Qi was so shocked that he didn't sleep well for several days.
Because Li San has benefited a lot from Qi's father for more than ten years, it was agreed in advance that the imperial envoy can't find out their water village, and if they find out about their water village, they will naturally silence them.So Qi's father wrote a letter to his brother, Daoist idiot, and at the same time sent his confidants to police Qi Zhou.Those who shot arrows at Qi Zhou's boat that day were two personal guards beside Qi's father, who disguised themselves as fishermen and hid in the fishing boat.Later, I went to the book twice for guidance.
Originally thinking that Qi Zhou got hints from the idiots, he just went to check the six or seven out of ten.I can get away before they come to Jinling, first wander around with the idiot Taoist for a few years, when things get cold, everyone forgets what Xu Mei looks like, and I have changed my appearance outside, and then go back to the capital.
Unexpectedly, I haven't prepared everything yet, but they are already here, wanting to see Xu Mei in person!At this time, Fang remembered that at that time, because he wanted to leave a way out for Zhen Mei, he directed Qi Zhou to "Xu Mei is innocent".They must have come in such a hurry because they were afraid that Xu Mei would be silenced.He had no choice but to ask the idiot Taoist to try to prevent the person who had seen Qi's father as "Xu Mei" in the past ten years from entering the mansion.
That idiot handed over the matter to his female disciple Peng Run.Peng Run was simple, he whipped Zhen Yingjia in the face and sent him home.Fortunately, Zhen Yingjia was the only one who was going to accompany her.
After the words were finished, everyone sighed incomparably.
Qi Zhou said with tears in his eyes, "My son is not filial."
Jia Amnesty hated these tear-jerking scenes the most, so he interrupted first: "It's so good, you want us to help? Mr. Qi, is your plan to get rid of the golden cicada comprehensive? Bring it out to us as a staff officer."
Father Qi said with a smile: "The Rongguo public committee is actually quite different from the rumors in the early years."
Jia She thought to himself, everyone has changed, can they be the same?He laughed and said, "I'm a person with hills and valleys in my chest, but I usually just don't show them."
Jiang Wu hid his face and couldn't bear to hear it.
Qi Zhou thought about it: "The other ones are fine. Only Li San knew about our family early on, and I'm afraid he won't let my father go."
Jia She hurriedly jumped up: "I'll go talk to him!" Yin explained, "Negotiating with the bandits is impossible for you. Little Qi is too gentle, and Haozhi is also too official. I can't be more appropriate than this."
For a moment, Jiang Wu felt that he was playing tricks, but after thinking about it carefully, he was indeed the most shameless and ruffian among the three, and he was able to talk to the bandits.
Qi Zhou, on the other hand, glanced at him and never objected.
Xu Mei had already been frightened out of her courage in the water village, and looked at Jia She with admiration.
Jia She snorted to him, "I said Lao Xu, you have to remember it firmly." He pointed to himself and said, "I am Jia She, the Duke of Rongguo." He also pointed to Jiang Wu, "The sage's heart loves Jiang Wu." Pointing to Qi Zhou again, "Qi Zhou, the confidant of the sage." Finally pointing to Father Qi, "You haven't seen this old man before." Then he looked at him with a smile and said, "You are Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu."
Xu Mei hurriedly said: "Yes! Your subordinate is Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu! I have never met Lord Qi's father before."
Jia She nodded and said, "Don't worry, since Xu Mei has never violated the laws of the country, our imperial envoy Mr. Qi will naturally clear him up. It's just that Mr. Xu has seen through the ups and downs of the officialdom and would rather go back to the world."
Xu Mei sighed: "The lower officials have seen through the situation and would rather go back to the world, there is no lie."
Qi's father stood up and bowed to him, and Qi Zhou did the same.
Xu Mei returned the gift without falling, and was filled with emotion. "The bandit village has been in the bandit for 12 years, and I dare not hope for today."
Jia Sheyin said to Qi's father, "Old man, can someone protect me to go to the water village?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door: "I'll protect you."
Everyone saw that Peng Run was standing there with a long whip in his hand, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Only you go."
Because several people hurriedly changed Jia She into invisible clothes.Jia Amnesty was very ruffian, he looked like a dandy in light fur clothes, but in Tsing Yi hat he became a hooligan, and everyone laughed.
Jia She said with a snort, "No vision! What is the scariest thing in the world? It's not the pen of a literati, it's not the sword of a general, it's the culture of hooligans!"
Yin flicked his sleeves: "Grandma Peng, let's go!"
Peng Run glanced at him lightly, then turned around and led him towards the backyard.
There is a small cart in the backyard, and the driver is from the Shuizhai faction here.It is said that Master Xu's confidantes want to discuss important matters with the village owner, but they are very respectful and invite them to get in the car.Peng Run wanted to drive the horse outside, but the water bandit refused, so he had to give up.
In this way, the two of them were bouncing in the car at the same time.
Jia Amnesty is a standard chatterbox, he can't speak in a panic.But Peng Run was the least talkative, and when he got annoyed by what he said, he just yelled "shut up".Why did Jia She care about this?After shutting up for less than half a minute, he opened his mouth again, talking nonsense from heaven to earth.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stopped.The water bandit asked the two of them to come out, and there was a pier in front of them.
It's almost dusk, Tingzhou is falling into the water, the red sun is hiding the autumn waves, and there are fishing boats coming back from far away on the sparkling river, which is a beautiful water town.
The water bandit whistled, and saw a black-covered boat emerge from the reed.The punter talked to the water bandits in a low voice, and led Jia Peng and the two into the boat.
This time even the water bandit was sitting in the cabin together, Jia Amnesty murmured endlessly around him as if he had received an amnesty, or if the water bandit agreed with him, he even glanced at Peng Run triumphantly.But Peng Run acted as if he didn't see it, he just folded his arms and said nothing, his expression was normal.Jia Amnesty felt quite unfulfilled, and still chatted with the water bandits without mentioning it.
Then the boatman came in with some steamed buns and water, and they realized that it was past dinner time.Gathering together to eat and chat, those who didn't know thought they were a group of good friends.
After an unknown amount of time, several people went ashore and changed to another car, and then changed from car to boat.It was not until the night of invasion that Fang came to the water village.
The water village is a dark village, with sporadic lights, and the crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, which is quite poetic when reflected on the water.
Jia Amnesty suddenly became interested, and stood on the bow of the boat and sang the song "The Moon Walks Through the Clouds Like White Lotus Flowers" leisurely.The song is a good song, but the voice of the singer is really unbearable.
The water bandit who came with him thought it sounded good and didn't sound good. Fortunately, it was too dark in the boat, so no one could see the changes on his face.
At the end of the song, someone clapped their hands: "Good song!"
Jia Amnesty was overjoyed: "Your Excellency is really discerning!"
But I saw a boat turning around in front, and suddenly many torches were lit on the boat. There was a man standing in the bow, eight feet tall, with a dark face and a beard under his chin. Although he was dressed as a fisherman, he still looked heroic.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help praising: "Good guy!"
The man laughed loudly: "You can invite distinguished guests to the village."
That boat led ahead, Jia She and the others followed behind, and arrived at Shuizhai wharf not long after.
Not long after the people landed, there was a flash of white light. At some point, Peng Run jumped in front of Jia She, waving his long whip in a "crack, bang, bang".Only two sounds of "Kang Dang" and "Kang Dang" were heard, and a knife fell to the ground.The two men blushed and stood there in embarrassment.
Jia Amnesty realized later, and it took a while to hide behind Peng Run with an "ouch".
The man at the bow of the boat said with a smile: "Just kidding, don't blame the honored guests!"
Jia Amnesty jumped out again: "Of course it's to blame! How can you stop blaming it! How can you make a joke like this. You military generals use a knife to make a joke. Have you ever seen a man who used a knife to make a joke with a cultured person?"
The man laughed even more, because he bowed his hands to Jia Amnesty and said, "I would like to apologize to the honored guest, and ask the honored guest to forgive me."
Jia She sighed: "Forget it, I am born with a lot of energy, so I don't care about it." Then he said, "I said, Mr., why don't you find a place to drink some water and chat for a while?"
The man stretched out his arms to guide: "Please, honored guest."
The author has something to say: the eyes are dazzled. . .I feel that it is not easy to separate this section, as if it is broken.sleep sleep ah ah ah ah
Both Qi Zhou and Jia She were puzzled because they were waiting to see what he would bring up.
After a while, a soldier of a special battalion had a dusty face and the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he picked up a man in his hand and threw it on the ground. "General, he can run quite well, but he was really unlucky to meet me."
Qi Zhou couldn't help laughing, pointed at Jia She and said, "You have spoiled it all."
Jia Shen muttered: "What does it have to do with me, what he said is clearly the truth."
Looking at the man on the ground, he has a square face, a medium build, and a large black mole on his face is very conspicuous, all of which are the appearance of the little official Zhang Chao mentioned in the copy.
With Zhang Chao's ashen face, he didn't make a sound for half a day.
Qi Zhou sighed, "Please invite Mr. Zhang to sit down and have a cup of tea."
Someone moved a chair outside, Zhang Chao was probably really tired, so he sat down politely.
Qi Zhou said: "I never lied to Ling Tang, I do have a letter of mitigation in my hand."
Zhang Chao remained silent.
Jia Amnesty became impatient again: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, the emperor is behind us, so we can't stand up for anyone."
Qi Zhou interjected, "Although his words are rough, they are very real."
Zhang Chao still lowered his head.
Jiang Wu said, "Could it be that you are holding onto others?"
Zhang Chao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he was silent for a while, and finally burst into tears. "My lord, the villain is really wronged."
The three breathed a sigh of relief.Just open your mouth.
It turns out that Zhang Chao has been an official in this granary for 18 years, and he saw that the granary was full and empty.When Han County Magistrate Qianfan burned the warehouse, he coaxed many small officials into one place to get drunk and left them, so that people could light fires everywhere.Pian Zhang Chao is an obedient person, he knows in his heart that he knows too much, he was a little vigilant, he poured a lot of wine on his sleeve, and never passed out.Hearing the county magistrate laughed and sent him back to the house, he pretended to be drunk.Not long after, there was a sound of a lock outside the door, and he rushed to the door in fright, seeing General Tie crossing the road outside.
Zhang Chao didn't dare to shout, fearing that he would silence him first, he suddenly remembered that his colleague gave him a steel knife that day.The knife in the colleague's home was broken, so he slipped to the market to buy this knife. The daughter-in-law at home sent a message that she had already bought one.That colleague hated having leftovers at home the most, so he gave them to him casually.Zhang Chao thought he was lucky, and when the outsiders left, he took a knife to split the lock.
Qi Zhou and Jia She looked at each other, and it was obvious that the colleague belonged to Qi's father, Tete and the officials who came to investigate the case later left him alive.
But he is inside, it is very difficult to split.Not long after, a fire broke out outside the door, and Zhang Chao became more and more anxious. He surged up with strength, and broke the lock with a sudden swing.He stumbled and escaped, seeing fireworks all around him soaring like a black dragon, if he hadn't really known the way in the warehouse, escaping with his life would have been incomparable.
Zhang Chao cried again: "Just like the adults said, the little official has no choice. The superior insists on the little official doing some hooking up, and all the colleagues have done it, what can the little official do?" After speaking, his face was full of sadness.He also said, "Many affairs are handled by small officials, and those at the top only shrink back, pretending to know everything, and it will only be a crime of negligence in the future."
Qi Zhou nodded and said, "I know everything."
Jia Amnesty added, "I don't think your family is mediocre. You must have benefited a lot in 18."
Zhang Chao said with a wry smile, "It's all stored in one Zhuangzi."
"Do you have the account books?" Jiang Wu asked him.
"Have!"
Jia She clapped his hands together: "It's so easy." Yin said to him, "Just don't worry, you are nothing more than a small official, and we won't benefit you if we take you. What we want now is an official position in the Jiangnan officialdom. Help us poke some down, and you will pay off the crime."
Qi Zhou couldn't help smiling wryly.This is too straightforward, but there is not a single word of lies.
It was also the first time for Zhang Chao to see Shangguan speak so frankly, and he was much relieved.
So he sent someone to go to Zhuangzi to get the account book without mentioning it.
Not long after the account books were brought, Qi Zhou looked at them and sighed again and again. "Enough to fill many offices."
In the next few days, they were sorting out various account books and evidence statements, and at the same time wrote a secret note and prepared to send it to Beijing.However, judging from the books, Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu Province, is indeed corrupt according to various evidences in recent years.Someone from Jiang Wen also sent a message that Xu Mei's family members had never brought him to work in their hometown, and the whole family moved to another place half a year ago, and they disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Wu sighed: "This Xu Mei is very heroic."
Jia She said with a snort, "Why do I think he will escape without permission?"
Qi Zhou thought about it: "The letter said he was innocent. If he was innocent, why should he bear such a serious crime?"
Jiang Wudao: "How about going to meet a real person?"
Jia She hurriedly jumped up: "Very good! Go to Jinling! I miss my son."
Qi and Jiang shook their heads and laughed.
So he packed up and left the next day. Han Zhan, the county magistrate of Suzhou, personally sent him out of the city.
The group hurried on their way regardless of the scenery along the way, and arrived in Jinling a few days ago. Zhen Yingjia, the president of the Jinling Provincial Sports Institute, led many officials to greet him outside the city.There is no need to elaborate on flattery and flattery.Xu Mei, the prefect, said that he was ill and never came to welcome him.
The few of them were surrounded by officials to see some street scenes all the way to the post house, after a little settlement, Qi Zhouyin bluntly said that he wanted to go to the magistrate Mr. Xu.
Jinling officials persuaded him a few words, but seeing that he insisted on going, he had no choice but to let it go.Then she was accompanied by Zhen Yingjia.
It was only two streets away from the post house, and when we got to the street, we heard a horse sweeping across the street in front of us like a wind.Because the horse was so fast, the man on the horse was dressed in white.Hearing a "snap", the horse had disappeared.Hearing "Ouch" again, he looked back and saw that Zhen Yingjia had covered his face with one hand.
Jia She's eyesight is not good, but he also felt that the shadow just now was very familiar, so he quietly turned his head to glance at Peng Kai and Peng Ke, and he saw that the faces of the two were ashen.Looking at Zhen Yingjia with a smile, he said, "What's the matter?" The words were full of teasing.
Zhen Yingjia had a welt on his face.
Qi Zhou sighed: "I don't think there are many rangers in Jinling City. It's important for Mr. Zhen to go back and find a doctor."
Although Zhen Yingjia didn't understand why, but because of her facial expression, it was really inconvenient to go with them again.He thought that nothing would happen to Xu Mei anyway, so he left two people to lead the way, and went to the magistrate's yamen with Qi Zhou and others.
Because Xu Zhifu was ill, everyone went straight to the backyard to visit him.There are very few people in the mansion, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Fang has dismissed a lot.This prefect Xu thought he was preparing himself to be heroic.
Just after entering the backyard, Jia Amnesty noticed the familiarity and slipped away to Jiang Wu.Jiang Wu also slipped away from him, and both of them went to see Qi Zhou.
Qi Zhou looked normal, walking ahead with his hands behind his back.
When he came to Xu Zhifu's room, he saw that the room was very gloomy, and two boys helped him up to the door to meet him.This person was only in his fifties, wearing a dark blue home-cooked autumn shirt and a soft hat, with a fair complexion and a few strands of beard under his chin that were already grey.When Xu Mei came up to pay respects, several people were polite again.
Jia She was in a hurry, so he bypassed Jiang Wu Qizhou to let the soldiers who came with them clear the field, and blasted all the servants in Xu Zhifu's house away.
Qi Zhou looked at Master Xu and sighed, "Can I ask my father to come out and see you?"
Then Xu Mei was taken aback when he heard the words: "What does the imperial envoy mean?"
Jiang Wu also sighed: "We are not fools, what is the use of giving Zhen Yingjia a whip? Besides, this yard is really too similar to Qi Zhou's yard. How can there be such a similar father and mother, even the bonsai cut out They all look alike."
Xu Mei looked at them for a long time and said: "Your official really doesn't understand."
Jia Amnesty got annoyed, and said bluntly: "Let Mr. Qi come out quickly. One person counts the short and the other counts the long. What's more, all of us are on Xiao Qi's side."
Xu Mei shook his head: "My lords, can you speak clearly?"
Qi Zhou suddenly said: "Are you Xu Mei?"
Xu Mei immediately said: "I am Xu Mei."
"Then who is Xu Mei that Zhen Yingjia met?"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and no one coughed for a long time.
Not to mention a stick of incense kung fu, only to hear a "crack" sound, a large dressing mirror in the room turned away, and a person came out from behind.Wearing a Tsing Yi cap, short beard and gray hair, his face is five or six points similar to Qi Zhou's.
Qi Zhou stood up slowly, walked over step by step, until he was in front of him, suddenly hit his knees on the ground, hugged his calf and cried loudly.
The old man caressed Qi Zhou's back neck and let out a long sigh, but said nothing.
Jia She and Jiang Wu also stood aside with red eyes.
When Qi Zhou got better, one of them helped him up and brought him to the old man's side, saluting together: "I have seen Uncle Qi!"
Qi's father let out another long sigh, because Qi Zhou helped him to sit on an official hat chair in front of the window.
Seeing that Qi Zhouli was not in a hurry by his father's side, Jia She couldn't help but went over and said in a low voice, "Hey! You're so stupid! Cry! Act like a baby!"
The whole room laughed.
At this time, Xu Mei brought tea, Qi Zhou took it, and offered it to the old father with both hands.
Qi's father took two sips of tea and handed it back to Qi Zhou, Fang spoke slowly.
Fifteen years ago, he got a friend's letter, saying that he built a beautiful garden, which is exquisite and unparalleled, and invited him to go south to enjoy it.Seeing that his writing was full of pride, Qi's father thought it would be a good idea to come to the garden, so he did.Seeing that although his friend's garden is small, it really lives up to the word "exquisite", and the bonsai of various colors of flowers and trees is full of wit and wit, so he highly appreciates it, so he stayed for a longer time.
There is a saying that "people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven".
One day, the two were talking in the pavilion, and the old servant at the door came to report in a panic: someone had a post from Prince Yizhong and wanted to see the owner of the garden.The two were surprised, they had nothing to do with the powerful, let alone the prince.
Then they went to the front hall together, and saw a manager with oily hair and noodles looked at them proudly and said: "Your house is a nice garden, how about giving it to our prince?"
Father Qi's friends were furious!Lian said, "It's unreasonable!" He couldn't help saying that he was thrown out.
Qi's father stopped him twice but didn't stop him, he stamped his feet and said, "Why bother to offend them."
The friend snorted and said, "How can you be humiliated by a villain?" Because he didn't think so.
Unexpectedly, in only three or five days, officers and soldiers suddenly smashed the door overnight, saying that some thieves jumped into their walls.
The old servant believed it was true and put the man in.Unexpectedly, the leader came in and snorted: "This is a den of thieves, take them all!"
He couldn't help but capture Qi's father, his friend and three servants who were still in the dream, and sent them straight to the prison.
Father Qi's friend was originally a squire, how could he suffer such a crime?Angry and wronged, he was only in prison for four or five months, and his illness disappeared.A few days later, his old servant also left.Father Qi and the other two servants did not see the light of day.Here, the resentment and injustice of the world are exhausted.Fortunately, Qi's father is open-minded in nature, and firmly believes that the family of good deeds must be blessed by God, and his mood gradually stabilizes.
Two years later, a big man came to the prison. Although he was dressed as a fisherman, he had bright eyes and extraordinary appearance.Qi's father's cell is next to his, and the conversation is quite interesting, so he often chats to relieve boredom.
Only half a month later, one night, while Qi's father was still in a dream, someone suddenly sprinkled some water on his face.He opened his eyes in a daze—it was the big man in the cell next door.The man smiled and said, "Sir, would you like to go out together?"
Father Qi saw that he was followed by a few big men, armed with knives and guns, and carrying a small lantern.Yin smiled and said, "Alright!"
This group of people were Taihu water bandits, and the leader was Li San, who was accidentally surrounded by officers and soldiers, and hid in a fishing boat pretending to be a fisherman.He pretended so much that the officers and soldiers believed it, but wouldn't it be difficult for them to lose the water bandits?He was still arrested, thinking of him as a scapegoat in his heart, he was never sent to death row, and he was still saying "another unlucky ghost."
Leading two servants from a friend's house to follow Li San out, Qi's father thought he was out of danger and would see the light of day again.So I thanked him deeply and wanted to say goodbye and go home.Unexpectedly, Li San didn't want to let him go at all, and said with a smile, "How can such a great talent be buried? Since the imperial court doesn't know gold inlaid with jade, I, Li San, know." case.
After a short time, their people found out the whole story of Qi's father and his friends.
It turned out that at that time the eldest son of Prince Yizhong just came to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and he fell in love with a young lady on the flower boat, and he loved it very much.A local squire gave him a small garden to raise the young man.That day, Qing Guan Er was watching the scenery upstairs, and happened to see the garden of Father Qi's friend next door.The prince said with a smile, "That's easy. I sent someone to buy my father's film." Because he called a capable steward to buy the garden.
Who knows that the steward thinks that his master will be the crown prince sooner or later, so there is no need to buy it?As soon as the film was delivered, Gu Bao said that the owner of the garden was crying and shouting to make progress to his master.So he came to the door and demanded a garden.
Pian Qi's father's friend is a man of integrity, and he was kicked out after a swearing.How can a person who bullies others no matter what happens, swallow this breath?Turning back and crying, he complained about how rude and swearing the owner of the garden was, and said: "The man said, 'If his father becomes the son of heaven, it will be a disaster for all people'!"
The prince was furious: "Don't worry about making trouble!" He said with hatred, "Let them teach you how to behave like a troublemaker!"
The people below jumped up quickly when they heard this, and within a few days, Qi Fu's friend and Qi Fu were taken into prison for the crime of "collaborating with bandits".
Qi's father was heartbroken when he heard this.While thinking about revenge, and because Li San refused to let him go anyway, he had to detain Jiangnan, and he inevitably advised them, and gradually developed a sense of loyalty.
Another water bandit inquired about the family affairs for him. It turned out that the son of Prince Yizhong didn't know what happened to the owner of the garden, let alone a friend of the owner who was also imprisoned.Another person had smoothed over the matter long ago, Qi Zhou came twice and found nothing, so he had to go back first.
Twelve years ago, the water bandits captured an official on the river. It was Xu Mei, the new county magistrate of Jiaxing transferred from the north.Li San was overjoyed to see that his stature, appearance and age were somewhat similar to Qi's father!Instead, Xu Mei was detained in Shuizhai, and Qi's father was asked to be the county magistrate of Jiaxing.At this time, Qi's father was already in the bandit camp and had no choice but to be surrounded by water bandits, so he could only serve as an official, waving his long sleeves among various officials and bandits.Later, he ostensibly took refuge in Prince Zhongzhong, and after three years of office, he was transferred to Suzhou County Magistrate for two terms. He took the granary for the county magistrate, and deliberately attracted Prince Yizhong and later Prince Leshan into it. He also gave a lot of food to the water bandits.Later, he had to be promoted to the magistrate of Jiangsu.
Knowing that he violated the law of the country, he dared not go to the news with his family.
Over the past ten years, the sea has changed, and things have changed.Prince Yizhong left early, and the son is now the king of Leshan County.The young man stole money and ran away with others, and the steward who provoked the trouble was caught and beheaded by the water bandits in front of Qi's father's friend's tomb.Qi's father thought that his whole life would be like this.
In the old year, I suddenly got news from the loyal prince that the eldest son was recommended by Rong Guogong to become an official, and he was a confidant of the saint.
Father Qi was terrified.I am afraid that my crime will be leaked and my son's official career will be delayed.I also know that the four kings and eight princes are all the emperors, and sooner or later they will be liquidated by the saints, and I am afraid that their son will be implicated.Later, he begged Li San to send someone to inquire, and knowing that the Rongguo Mansion had transferred to the present emperor, he felt relieved, so he thought of getting out.
Qi's father has also taken in a lot of confidants in the past ten years, because Han Zhan, the current county magistrate of Suzhou, found an empty position because he secretly calculated.Frightened, Han Zhan naturally came to discuss with Shangguan.Qi's father knew that the loyal prince was different from the father and son of the Xianyi loyal prince, but he was a loving one, but it was a pity that the sky did not help him.Then go to secret letter with him.The way is to get the grace of the prince to know the situation and promote him, and there is nothing in return.This time, my subordinates have committed negligence, and they can no longer cover it up.So set up a plan.Let him take this crime with himself, and only ask the prince to settle his family for him, change his name and surname, and let him take away his family property and become a rich man.Leave some clues to prove that I have a breeze in my sleeves.In this way, those who cannot be found out will naturally be counted on others.
The loyal prince valued him very much, and was reluctant to part with such a good minister, so he quickly replied: "If you know the emperor is clean, don't seek other methods."
Father Qi resigned firmly and said: "If a subordinate has a fault, it is the fault of the minister. It should be blamed." Because of presenting a lot of evidence, the big fault can be easily pushed to the camp of the King of Leshan County. Some spare time for Leshan County King.
Seeing that he had made up his mind to go, the loyal prince had no choice but to let go, and sighed endlessly.After discussing with several confidantes, they couldn't find another way.
He also sent a letter to Li San that the Lord Loyalty wanted to throw Xu Mei out in the case of the fire in the granary.Li San felt reasonable after hearing this, so he sent him over and told him to take care of him.
That Xu Mei was really innocent, and the dignified court official fell into the hands of water bandits. He watched others take his position to get promoted and get rich, and he couldn't even return home.Xu Mei was almost exterminated many times over the past ten years, all of which were stopped by Qi's father.He knew early on that Qi's father was like him, and also let the water bandits trap here, dancing on the tip of the knife every day, although he was resentful, because he was the one who gained fame, he vaguely felt a bit of sympathy.After spending time with the bandits in the water village, I only came up with some ideas to make myself feel better, and I can be regarded as an unnamed military adviser in the water village.However, he doesn't hide his thoughts, and often shows disdain unconsciously. Li San never believed him.Hearing that Qi's father wanted to throw him out, he didn't give up.
When someone came, Qi's father and Xu Mei said: "Master Xu, you and I have been involuntary for more than ten years, and neither of you has had a good time. Now it is an opportunity." Yin told the discussion between himself and the loyal prince.He said: "I have used your name as an official for more than ten years. Although I have gained some benefits for Li San, I am innocent. I have left some traces with the imperial envoy who will investigate the case in the future. Now the loyal prince has been arranged. You family members of the Xu family, I am going to make a fuss in the future. If the imperial envoy is not a fool, he will be able to find a lot of evidence to prove that "Master Xu Mei" is a scapegoat. Therefore, you will be innocent in the future. There is no need to worry about being hunted down by the court. However, you can no longer be an official."
Xu Mei originally thought that he would die this time, but who would have thought that with such an arrangement, not only would he be able to protect his family, but he would be able to return the two of them to their thrones!Why not?I only feel joy falling from the sky, suddenly like a dream.He hurriedly said: "If I become an official again, I will silence Li San."
Father Qi nodded in agreement. "After you and I escaped, you took the guide of the loyal lord and changed your name and surname to find your family to become a rich man. I wandered with my friends in the rivers and lakes and dared not go home. From then on, we promised to have nothing to do." Once a military adviser, no one can be clean.
I thought that everything was ready, and I just waited for someone from the court to follow the steps.Unexpectedly, the letter from Prince Zhongcheng said that the imperial envoy for the Suzhou granary case was Qi Zhou, the head of the household department!Father Qi was so shocked that he didn't sleep well for several days.
Because Li San has benefited a lot from Qi's father for more than ten years, it was agreed in advance that the imperial envoy can't find out their water village, and if they find out about their water village, they will naturally silence them.So Qi's father wrote a letter to his brother, Daoist idiot, and at the same time sent his confidants to police Qi Zhou.Those who shot arrows at Qi Zhou's boat that day were two personal guards beside Qi's father, who disguised themselves as fishermen and hid in the fishing boat.Later, I went to the book twice for guidance.
Originally thinking that Qi Zhou got hints from the idiots, he just went to check the six or seven out of ten.I can get away before they come to Jinling, first wander around with the idiot Taoist for a few years, when things get cold, everyone forgets what Xu Mei looks like, and I have changed my appearance outside, and then go back to the capital.
Unexpectedly, I haven't prepared everything yet, but they are already here, wanting to see Xu Mei in person!At this time, Fang remembered that at that time, because he wanted to leave a way out for Zhen Mei, he directed Qi Zhou to "Xu Mei is innocent".They must have come in such a hurry because they were afraid that Xu Mei would be silenced.He had no choice but to ask the idiot Taoist to try to prevent the person who had seen Qi's father as "Xu Mei" in the past ten years from entering the mansion.
That idiot handed over the matter to his female disciple Peng Run.Peng Run was simple, he whipped Zhen Yingjia in the face and sent him home.Fortunately, Zhen Yingjia was the only one who was going to accompany her.
After the words were finished, everyone sighed incomparably.
Qi Zhou said with tears in his eyes, "My son is not filial."
Jia Amnesty hated these tear-jerking scenes the most, so he interrupted first: "It's so good, you want us to help? Mr. Qi, is your plan to get rid of the golden cicada comprehensive? Bring it out to us as a staff officer."
Father Qi said with a smile: "The Rongguo public committee is actually quite different from the rumors in the early years."
Jia She thought to himself, everyone has changed, can they be the same?He laughed and said, "I'm a person with hills and valleys in my chest, but I usually just don't show them."
Jiang Wu hid his face and couldn't bear to hear it.
Qi Zhou thought about it: "The other ones are fine. Only Li San knew about our family early on, and I'm afraid he won't let my father go."
Jia She hurriedly jumped up: "I'll go talk to him!" Yin explained, "Negotiating with the bandits is impossible for you. Little Qi is too gentle, and Haozhi is also too official. I can't be more appropriate than this."
For a moment, Jiang Wu felt that he was playing tricks, but after thinking about it carefully, he was indeed the most shameless and ruffian among the three, and he was able to talk to the bandits.
Qi Zhou, on the other hand, glanced at him and never objected.
Xu Mei had already been frightened out of her courage in the water village, and looked at Jia She with admiration.
Jia She snorted to him, "I said Lao Xu, you have to remember it firmly." He pointed to himself and said, "I am Jia She, the Duke of Rongguo." He also pointed to Jiang Wu, "The sage's heart loves Jiang Wu." Pointing to Qi Zhou again, "Qi Zhou, the confidant of the sage." Finally pointing to Father Qi, "You haven't seen this old man before." Then he looked at him with a smile and said, "You are Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu."
Xu Mei hurriedly said: "Yes! Your subordinate is Xu Mei, the magistrate of Jiangsu! I have never met Lord Qi's father before."
Jia She nodded and said, "Don't worry, since Xu Mei has never violated the laws of the country, our imperial envoy Mr. Qi will naturally clear him up. It's just that Mr. Xu has seen through the ups and downs of the officialdom and would rather go back to the world."
Xu Mei sighed: "The lower officials have seen through the situation and would rather go back to the world, there is no lie."
Qi's father stood up and bowed to him, and Qi Zhou did the same.
Xu Mei returned the gift without falling, and was filled with emotion. "The bandit village has been in the bandit for 12 years, and I dare not hope for today."
Jia Sheyin said to Qi's father, "Old man, can someone protect me to go to the water village?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door: "I'll protect you."
Everyone saw that Peng Run was standing there with a long whip in his hand, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "Only you go."
Because several people hurriedly changed Jia She into invisible clothes.Jia Amnesty was very ruffian, he looked like a dandy in light fur clothes, but in Tsing Yi hat he became a hooligan, and everyone laughed.
Jia She said with a snort, "No vision! What is the scariest thing in the world? It's not the pen of a literati, it's not the sword of a general, it's the culture of hooligans!"
Yin flicked his sleeves: "Grandma Peng, let's go!"
Peng Run glanced at him lightly, then turned around and led him towards the backyard.
There is a small cart in the backyard, and the driver is from the Shuizhai faction here.It is said that Master Xu's confidantes want to discuss important matters with the village owner, but they are very respectful and invite them to get in the car.Peng Run wanted to drive the horse outside, but the water bandit refused, so he had to give up.
In this way, the two of them were bouncing in the car at the same time.
Jia Amnesty is a standard chatterbox, he can't speak in a panic.But Peng Run was the least talkative, and when he got annoyed by what he said, he just yelled "shut up".Why did Jia She care about this?After shutting up for less than half a minute, he opened his mouth again, talking nonsense from heaven to earth.
I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally stopped.The water bandit asked the two of them to come out, and there was a pier in front of them.
It's almost dusk, Tingzhou is falling into the water, the red sun is hiding the autumn waves, and there are fishing boats coming back from far away on the sparkling river, which is a beautiful water town.
The water bandit whistled, and saw a black-covered boat emerge from the reed.The punter talked to the water bandits in a low voice, and led Jia Peng and the two into the boat.
This time even the water bandit was sitting in the cabin together, Jia Amnesty murmured endlessly around him as if he had received an amnesty, or if the water bandit agreed with him, he even glanced at Peng Run triumphantly.But Peng Run acted as if he didn't see it, he just folded his arms and said nothing, his expression was normal.Jia Amnesty felt quite unfulfilled, and still chatted with the water bandits without mentioning it.
Then the boatman came in with some steamed buns and water, and they realized that it was past dinner time.Gathering together to eat and chat, those who didn't know thought they were a group of good friends.
After an unknown amount of time, several people went ashore and changed to another car, and then changed from car to boat.It was not until the night of invasion that Fang came to the water village.
The water village is a dark village, with sporadic lights, and the crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, which is quite poetic when reflected on the water.
Jia Amnesty suddenly became interested, and stood on the bow of the boat and sang the song "The Moon Walks Through the Clouds Like White Lotus Flowers" leisurely.The song is a good song, but the voice of the singer is really unbearable.
The water bandit who came with him thought it sounded good and didn't sound good. Fortunately, it was too dark in the boat, so no one could see the changes on his face.
At the end of the song, someone clapped their hands: "Good song!"
Jia Amnesty was overjoyed: "Your Excellency is really discerning!"
But I saw a boat turning around in front, and suddenly many torches were lit on the boat. There was a man standing in the bow, eight feet tall, with a dark face and a beard under his chin. Although he was dressed as a fisherman, he still looked heroic.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help praising: "Good guy!"
The man laughed loudly: "You can invite distinguished guests to the village."
That boat led ahead, Jia She and the others followed behind, and arrived at Shuizhai wharf not long after.
Not long after the people landed, there was a flash of white light. At some point, Peng Run jumped in front of Jia She, waving his long whip in a "crack, bang, bang".Only two sounds of "Kang Dang" and "Kang Dang" were heard, and a knife fell to the ground.The two men blushed and stood there in embarrassment.
Jia Amnesty realized later, and it took a while to hide behind Peng Run with an "ouch".
The man at the bow of the boat said with a smile: "Just kidding, don't blame the honored guests!"
Jia Amnesty jumped out again: "Of course it's to blame! How can you stop blaming it! How can you make a joke like this. You military generals use a knife to make a joke. Have you ever seen a man who used a knife to make a joke with a cultured person?"
The man laughed even more, because he bowed his hands to Jia Amnesty and said, "I would like to apologize to the honored guest, and ask the honored guest to forgive me."
Jia She sighed: "Forget it, I am born with a lot of energy, so I don't care about it." Then he said, "I said, Mr., why don't you find a place to drink some water and chat for a while?"
The man stretched out his arms to guide: "Please, honored guest."
The author has something to say: the eyes are dazzled. . .I feel that it is not easy to separate this section, as if it is broken.sleep sleep ah ah ah ah
