Scholar and old attack

Jiang Jingyuan finally agreed under Qin Chujiu's persuasion.

"It's getting late, brother Jiu stay here, Ah Zhou and I have to go and sell the fish caught this morning, the family is really very cautious." Jiang Jingyuan saw more people gradually pouring into the street, got up and gave Qin Chujiu bid farewell.

Xu Shuizhou also carried the bucket very discerningly, as if he was about to leave.

It was only then that Qin Chujiu noticed the bucket that had been placed beside Xu Shuizhou. He glanced at the fish in the bucket, and then laughed, "Hey, the three fresh water fish are the best. It just so happens that my wife has been hungry recently. Little brother, just sell it to me."

After Qin Chujiu finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Shuizhou's reply, he took out two taels of silver from his bosom and gave it to Xu Shuizhou. Holding the bucket, he smiled and said to Jiang Jingyuan, "I will send the account book to Mr. Jiang personally later. I still have to go to the Yamen on business, so I won't bother you two."

After speaking, he took the bucket and left, leaving Xu Shuizhou staring at the two taels of silver in the water in a daze.

"What, is the money short?" Jiang Jingyuan asked.

Xu Shuizhou shook his head, squeezed the broken silver in his hand, and said blankly, "No, no, it's because he gave too much, and the bucket of [-] Wen tops the sky, so he gave too much."

Jiang Jingyuan saw Xu Shuizhou's dazed and surprised look quite cute, and wanted to rub his head, but then he thought that this place is not modern, so he put down the hand he just stretched out.

"Take it, he wants something from me, not to mention giving more, he is willing to give ten times more." Jiang Jingyuan took money and wealth indifferently.

In his previous life, he had never been short of money. In this life, he had just crossed over to the original owner and was a nerd who only read books. He didn't care much about money, so he hasn't experienced the pain of lack of money yet.

But Xu Shuizhou exclaimed, "Oh, then we are at a loss. We could earn 20 taels, but now we only get [-] taels, and I got a bucket of fish. Brother Jing Yuan, you have worked so hard to help him." It can’t be just two taels of silver.”

Jiang Jingyuan smiled, "There are some things that cannot be measured by money, and you can treat this money as the money you sell fish."

"That won't work," Xu Shuizhou handed the money to Jiang Jingyuan, "Brother Jing Yuan managed to get the fish, so I can't accept the money."

"Put it away." Jiang Jingyuan pushed back, "Don't be stolen by thieves on the street, I'm not short of money."

Because the two of them were pushing around with broken silver, it had already attracted the attention of many people, and if this continues, some people will not be able to resist coming over to grab it.

Only then did Xu Shuizhou reluctantly collect the money.

After the work was done, the two of them had nothing to buy, so they agreed to leave the county and go home.

As soon as they left, there was a sneaky person not far from them, who was reporting to a big man next to him, "Boss, are we really not going to catch up? Those two people are easy to attack, and the two taels of silver We have to work hard."

"A thing without winks." The burly man lay on a rocking chair, but narrowed his eyes slightly, "The one who gave the scholar the money just now was the policeman Qin from the strong class of the yamen. Do you really want to let him steal the money?"

This sneaky, monkey-like person suddenly felt like an enemy, "It turned out to be a member of the strong class. I know the young ones. I will never act rashly when I meet these two people in the future."

The big man squinted his eyes, glanced at him, and nodded with satisfaction, "Finally, I'm not so stupid. Just now, the Qin policeman was very respectful to the scholar. He must have a lot of background. You go down and check it out, and your eyes will shine brighter in the future." , don’t offend the nobleman.”

"Yes."

The Tiger Head Gang, on the surface, is a cloth dealer. It runs several shops, large and small, in Wutong County, and even has branches in some towns.

But in business, how can there be some crooked ways to make money quickly, so they still have a group of petty theft people behind them, they can earn some extra money, and they can also inquire about news.

This big man sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun is the current leader of the Tiger Head Gang, Ren Quan. He looks big and thick, majestic and tall, and only those who know him know that he is actually a careful person.

As soon as Jiang Jingyuan returned home, he realized that something was wrong with Chen Xiuxiu's condition, but it was not very obvious. If he didn't pay attention to observe, he really wouldn't be able to see it.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Jiang Jingyuan couldn't hold back in the end, and asked when Chen Xiuxiu was throwing away the washed vegetables as rotten leaves.

"No, nothing." Chen Xiuxiu came back to her senses, panicked for a moment, hurriedly cleaned up the vegetables on the ground, and told Jiang Jingyuan, "You are not in good health these days, read less books, go out and walk more."

"En." Jiang Jingyuan replied in a low voice, seeing that Chen Xiuxiu was unwilling to answer his question, and didn't pursue it, he bowed his head and read the Ming Code again.

It is said that the fastest way to understand an era is to understand its criminal law, especially in the ancient times when information was blocked, only by understanding the entire criminal law can one be able to clearly know which things can be done and which things cannot be done.

Jiang Jingyuan was no longer a stunned young man. He didn't think that with a little cleverness, he could play around with the ancients, especially today's conversation with Qin Chujiu, which made him deeply realize that even a small person is surrounded by All kinds of trouble.

If you want to solve these troubles, you need a reliable backer. It is true that if you want to live a comfortable life in Wutong County at this stage, County Magistrate Zhang seems to be a good backer, but this is also based on the fact that Magistrate Zhang is willing to make friends and talk well. .

Jiang Jingyuan rubbed his swollen brows after reading the law, feeling tired all over, put down his book, opened the door and wanted to go out for a walk.

But I heard a small sobbing sound from a corner of the kitchen.

Jiang Jingyuan walked out slowly, and it was none other than Chen Xiuxiu who was crying.

Jiang Jingyuan frowned, thinking of what Xu Shuizhou said yesterday, his heart moved, he stepped forward slowly, and put his arm around Chen Xiuxiu's shoulder, so that she could rely on her.

Chen Xiuxiu's body trembled, and she hurriedly suppressed her crying.

"Mother, has something difficult happened at home again?" Jiang Jingyuan sighed softly, "Tell me to listen to me, my hair has grown up now, I can protect mother from wind and rain, and support this family .”

Jiang Jingyuan knew how difficult it was for Chen Xiuxiu to support his family as a woman, and it must be a big deal for her to be absent-minded all day long, and even cry in secret.

"Jing Yuan, it's not a big deal, you go back to study, mother can handle it." Jiang Jingyuan's words warmed Chen Xiuxiu's heart. It's a good thing for his son to grow up, but such small things shouldn't bother his son, or even go to school. toil.
