Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

The business of Zhang's small shop has cooled down as Zhang Shu expected. Except for a few regular customers and some people who don't know, no one else comes here.

Those who don't know will also ask why they were left out in the cold all of a sudden, and after getting the news that someone died here, they didn't come for the second time.

After hearing what the second aunt and the others had said about the situation, Zhang Shu decided to close the store for a while, and come back when people forgot about it.Although they didn't do anything wrong, a bad reputation spread faster than a good reputation. The fact that someone died at the door alone was enough for them to avoid it.

Early in the morning, the government posted notices outside the four city gates, writing the names and origins of the two people who were killed by the water bandits, so that passers-by could see clearly, and if anyone knew them, they would go home and help inform them. Take a moment, lest the relatives at home are still eagerly looking forward to the return of the wanderer.

Ji Yuanshan survived the disaster because he got on King Cheng's boat. Although he still had wounds on his body, he insisted on leaving now because he missed his husband and children at home.

The magistrate of the county gave him a sum of money to let him go back to recuperate his wounds, and those who came to recognize the corpse would have a pension once.

Not long after, people came to identify the corpse one after another.The corpses were salvaged by people sent by the government. The three-inch nails have a characteristic in their crimes. They like to commit crimes in the same places. In that reed marsh, five or six corpses were sunk, and they were almost soaked.

Those who came to identify the corpses included gray-haired octogenarians, brides who were on their wedding day, and ignorant children.The adults were all in tears, heartbroken, but the child was ignorant, playing with the straw woven grasshopper in his hand, and muttering, "Daddy, get up and weave bugs for me!"

The children's innocent words touched the hearts of the adults even more, and the servants around couldn't help turning their heads away from the scene in front of them.

King Cheng didn't leave, and there were two water bandits who didn't catch him. He was worried. These people are extremely vicious. They have committed so many crimes in only two months. The county magistrate was lazy, and he didn't know what they would commit.

Since the ban in the city was issued really quickly, Boss Wu and Laoer Zhao really haven't left the city yet.Fortunately, Na Ding Si was so loyal, even though he was severely punished, he did not reveal the faces of these two people.If the person from Three Inch Nails had been replaced, they would probably have gone to the government prison as companions by now.

But this does not mean that they will be able to escape, because the Yacha has been inquiring about the place where they rented, and they have almost pieced together their appearance, posted many portraits in and outside the city, and declared that they committed crimes everywhere. The case reminds the common people not to be soft-hearted and harm others or themselves.

The two of them were like rats crossing the street, panicked wherever they went, and finally they couldn't go on anymore, they hid in the bucket of Ye Xiang, and were pushed out of the city with a cart.

Fortunately, Ye Xiang was always accompanied by two people. If he was alone, he would definitely be killed.But the sudden appearance of two people from Yexiang also made them panic. Reminiscent of the water bandits that were rumored recently, they threw up their hands and ran to the city yelling, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come. Has disappeared without a trace.

The news of the water bandits escaping from the city immediately spread to the outside world like long legs. The rich men outside the city were all in danger. They either moved their families into the city to seek refuge, or spent money to find someone to protect them.

The common people spontaneously formed a patrol team, and at night, they walked around the village holding torches to avoid raids by water bandits.

Zhang Shu's Shuitou Village is no exception, and the Zhang family and the Li family will only be closer.The last time Zhang Shu knew they were water bandits, it was probably because he ruined their good deeds and had always held a grudge.

During this period of time, he kept two of the family dogs at home, one in the front yard and one in the back yard, and the other three were dedicated to the village patrol team, after all, dogs are more vigilant than people.

Boss Wu and the others were indeed hiding in the mountains near Shuitou Village, and they hated Zhang Shu who repeatedly sabotaged their plans.Especially Boss Wu, the arrest of Ding Si this time is a great loss for him, and he will never find a more obedient dog. He is a little wary.

……

It is now April. In the past, the only farm work in the fields was weeding and catching insects. Now the founding villages near Anyang County have begun to dig spring potatoes.

King Cheng, Zhao Ningjin, is still here now. He invited himself out to make inspections, in order to get rid of the intrigues and intrigues of the palace, so it is natural that the sooner he returns, the better.

Hearing that there was a big vermicelli workshop nearby, he became interested and wanted to take a look.He has also eaten vermicelli. The tribute offered by the emperor in the north last year included vermicelli.

The county magistrate knew that he was going to Shuitou Village to see the vermicelli workshop, so he naturally couldn't resist, so he ordered more than 20 people to accompany Cheng Wang.

King Cheng waved his hand and asked them to go back. Not to mention that there were two masters beside him, but he said that there were no less than ten people who secretly guarded him. Why did so many people go with him?

The county magistrate was terrified, afraid that something would happen to him, but there was nothing he could do.Indeed, one of the two masters around him is worth more than 20 government servants.He could only bow his body to send this master out.

King Cheng was very down-to-earth, saying that the horse-drawn carriage blocked the light, and he insisted on taking the ox cart.The bullock cart staggered all the way to Shuitou Village. King Cheng was lying on the pile of straw with his legs crossed and a straw in his mouth, looking unrestrained.

"My lord, someone is coming up ahead." A guard on a horse came over and whispered in King Cheng's ear.

King Cheng turned over and sat up, pulling the straw out of his mouth. He looked like a great Confucian preaching, with a clear and clear moonlight, which made ordinary people passing by occasionally feel ashamed.They are also bullock carts, and it is really different for others to ride than to ride by yourself.

A guard who followed behind on horseback rolled his eyes vaguely, their prince has been burdened by his reputation all his life, even the princess doesn't know his true face, only they know.

Shuitou Village was not too far away. After sitting in an ox cart for more than two hours, when King Cheng's old waist was almost broken because of pretending to be aggressive, he finally arrived.

"Go, ask the Lord, where is the man who runs the workshop?" Cheng Wang shook the fan in his hand, and looked at the small village with his eyes.

The guard went for a while and then came back, "Master, I heard about it. Go down the path, and there is a bluestone courtyard in front of you, which is the man who runs the workshop."

When he asked the villagers, the villagers looked happy, probably thinking that they were here to buy vermicelli.

King Cheng walked ahead and arrived at the bluestone compound in a short while.The courtyard door was closed, but voices could be heard faintly. It seemed that most of them should be in the backyard.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door with the handle of the fan. The sound of "dong dong dong" made the people inside prick up their ears.

There was only Zhang Qianjin, a dog, and two lambs in the yard. Zhang Qianjin stuffed the last piece of grass into the sheep's mouth with a dignified appearance, then patted her little hand, and imitated Grandma Zhang. smeared on his little apron.

He stood up and walked to the door, the dog was always in front of him, guarding against possible problems.

Zhang Qianjin stepped on the bench by the door, pulled the latch open, revealed a round face, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

King Cheng waited outside the door for a while, and suddenly heard the door creak open, first a black dog jumped out, staring at him covetously, then there was a cute little face with a bun, and a soft voice Who is he looking for?

"Dare to ask my little brother, is your family in the vermicelli business?"

Cheng Wang asked with a smile, he looked like a strange uncle coaxing children.

"Yes!" Zhang Qianjin was indeed the doll who caught the abacus, his eyes lit up immediately, and every time his father and father sat together and talked about vermicelli, he would also sit beside him.

King Cheng still wanted to ask, but a voice came from the door, "Qianjin, who is here?"

"Great milk!" Zhang Qianjin turned her head back and shouted excitedly, "Uncle! Buy vermicelli!"

Buy vermicelli, have money, save it!

Zhang Qianjin is a child who doesn't like to spend money. The elders in the family sometimes give him copper coins. When he sees other children buying ding ding candies, candy tablets, small windmills and so on, he never buys them.

He had a big bamboo tube, which his grandfather dragged home for him, and then his uncle learned to carve himself, and helped him carve a little pig on it. Although it was a bit ugly, he still liked it very much.

Dad used a knife to open a small hole in it, and he could put a copper coin in. What he likes most is to hold the bamboo tube and shake it, listening to the swishing sound inside.

King Cheng raised his eyebrows, and he was quite good at soliciting business. Most people would have to buy a catty or two to go home after hearing this.

The locals don’t take money to eat, they trade spring potatoes, and they usually don’t eat much, and they cook some when they have visitors at home during the holidays, anyway, this food can be stored for a long time.

Grandma Zhang led him down, and then opened the door. When she saw the guest, she was a little dazed. This young man is too...so imposing!She looked outside, and there were four or five people waiting, and they were rich, so she didn't know why they came here in an ox cart. Since his family had a horse cart, they didn't take an ox cart anymore.

"Old man, I don't know if the boss is here, but Ning does have a business to do."

King Cheng bowed his hands politely, looking very humble.

Grandma Zhang quickly invited him in, and then asked the puppy who had been circling around to call Zhang Shu in the backyard, and then went to the kitchen to bring a pot of tea and two plates of snacks and put them on the stone table.

Just as he was about to invite him to sit down, Zhang Erbao in the room suddenly burst into tears. He was a bit noisy last night. Li Muzhen didn’t sleep well all night. Grandma Zhang ran to wake him up. hold him.Zhang Qianjin watched the grandmother go in, and then looked around. Besides him, there were two lambs in the yard, so he thought that he should entertain the guests, so he took a small bench and placed it behind King Cheng for him sit down.

Poor Cheng Wang's seven-foot man, he was wronged to sit on a small bench with his legs crossed, facing Zhang Qianjin who was sitting on a small wooden horse opposite him.

"Uncle, vermicelli are delicious!" Zhang Qianjin tried her best to recommend her own products.

"Then uncle has to buy some more."

"En!" Zhang Qianjin nodded repeatedly, smiling like a sunflower.

King Cheng looked at his innocent smiling face, and thought of his own brat, who knew how to be mischievous every day. He heard that the last time he played around with the empress dowager's glazed mirror as a mirror for demons, which made people feel ashamed of the offering made by Jin Luo Kingdom. The mirror that appeared in the shadow was shattered, and then he was detained in the palace and copied the palace rules several times.

"Is your name Zhang Qianjin?" He vaguely remembered that the old man called him that.

"Yeah, my brother's name is Erbao!" He couldn't help but introduce his younger brother, who was more obedient than the twins!

"Then what are your parents' names?"

"My father's name is Zhang Shu! I have a father, but no mother. My father's name is Jin'er, and my younger brother's name is Erbao." He couldn't help but introduce his younger brother.

"Oh, where's Erbao?"

"Sleep, sleep for a long time." He sighed, although the younger brother is very obedient, but always sleeps, does not play with him, and the father does not come out, and stays with the younger brother in the room.

When Zhang Shu came out, he saw Zhang Qianjin vividly introducing how powerful his younger brother was, how many times a day he ate milk...
