The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 7 Will But Do Good

After cleaning the pots and pans after eating in the Temple of Good and Evil, Zheng Nian accompanied his mother home.

"Son, you have grown up. I thought that failure would be a big blow to you, but today, it turned out to be a growth. I am relieved for my mother, I am relieved... If your father is alive in heaven, Naturally, I am very happy."

How did dad go?

Worried about his mother being suspicious, Zheng Nian didn't ask, but under his mother's questioning, he roughly told her what he had seen today, the so-called He Shizi case.

When I got home, it was Haishi.

After pouring a cup of hot water, Zheng Nian put it in front of his mother.

The mother drank a glass of water with a sad face, frowned and asked, "What if His Royal Highness... is the real murderer?"

"Mother, if he is the real murderer, he has to be released." Zheng Nian sighed.

"Why?"

My mother is not a member of the officialdom, so naturally she doesn't know anything about the stakes.

In this era, there is no county master or third-rank official who writes a book on how to be an official and introduces it to the common people to see how the officialdom is intriguing.

They only know that when they see people wearing colored clothes kneeling on the ground and kowtow, they don't say a word or fart when they see these big shots, and live naturally.

These days, human life is worthless.

"Because the word "shizi" is worth 370 lives in the entire Xinghualou."

Zheng Nian can see clearly, "Even if this son burns down the building, it will be burned down, no one will do anything about it."

"Hey..." Mom couldn't help sighing, "This world..."

Although my mother didn't want to accept it, she also accepted this fact.

Zheng Nian didn't know either, but it should be the same as his own guess. He was just afraid of being criticized. When Jin Yiwei handed over a few reference books from Jingcha, he would not feel comfortable.

Quickly changed the topic, "Mom, who do you make clothes for every day? I see a few little guys in the temple also follow you."

"Do it for the soldiers of the three households of the garrison, for you and the county government in Changle County, and for the surrounding neighbors. Sometimes this job is overwhelming and trivial, and sometimes it doesn't make a living for several days, and it doesn't make a lot of money. money."

The mother seemed to think of something as she spoke, and took out a thing wrapped in coarse cloth from her arms, and put it in the cabinet.

"The silver that Zheng Nanbei sent back?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Yo, you know all this?"

My mother said awkwardly, "Don't steal and buy wine to eat. This is a dowry gift saved for him. It is said that he will be back in a year. If he falls in love with a girl, I will leave some money for my mother."

Zheng Nian looked embarrassed, what kind of bastard was he in this world!
The mother talked more and more vigorously, "Didn't you hate playing with Nan Bei the most in the past? They always fight. Don't talk about him, talk about you. The third daughter of Li Carpenter's family in Changle County looks good. I'm getting married too. Do you want to take a look at my age?"

"Mother, don't I want to spend more time with you? Besides, what kind of marriage did I get when I was on duty just now? Where do we live if we marry someone on three-thirds of an acre of land? In a temple?"

Zheng Nian hastily refused.

"Nonsense! Your father's house is still on the East Street. I thought it was far away from the Temple of Good and Evil, so I came to live here. If you marry a wife, you should live there."

"Okay, you still have to work tomorrow, let's rest first." As she said that, the mother reached out to reach for the apron again, and continued to mutter, "I have time to see you tomorrow, and if you feel good, you can lead me in. If not, ask Aunt Mei to read a few more."

Zheng Nian hurriedly stopped him, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, mother, what are you doing?"

"Isn't there not much porridge? Tomorrow if there is not enough porridge in the house, people will gossip about it. The kidnappers and the others eat too much, and they often finish the porridge for the next few. I will cook more today and tomorrow The beggars and the handicapped here will be full."

"Mom!" Zheng Nian really didn't expect that he saw his mother busy all day in order to give away porridge, "Stop busy, it doesn't matter if they eat or not, they will be hungry for a day or two..."

"Snapped!"

My mother slapped Zheng Nian on the hand, and said angrily, "If it weren't for the old abbot of the Temple of Good and Evil, your mother and your father would have starved to death on the street. Your father won the list later. When I became the magistrate of Changle County, I had spare money, so I told me that I must give up porridge every day, and I have to pay back after eating blessings."

"Your father was incorruptible all his life, and he didn't eat a few good meals when he died. Mr. Jing Zhaoyin and Mr. Chen kindly gave 30 taels of silver to our house in the heavy snow, saying that he used the money to treat your father. You Father refuses to look at what he said, insisting that the money be used to give away porridge."

My mother said that her eye circles were red again, "Up to now, the silver has only lost more than a dozen taels, but the people are gone. I also blame my mother for living so much. I have only seen copper plates, but never seen silver, and I don't know the value." How much, if you know that you can buy these porridges, your father will be cured a long time ago."

Zheng Nian stood aside, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Okay, don't talk about these old things, you should..."

"Mother, go to sleep, I can make porridge." Zheng Nian grinned and scratched his head, "Today I still want to practice moves to strengthen my body, but I can't sleep right now, so I will make porridge in the future. It's up to you, don't worry about it."

Then he couldn't help but push his mother onto the kang.

He brought a basin of hot water and put it on the ground, "Mom, soak your feet and sleep, be at ease."

In fact, my mother is not very old. At the age of 36, she is a beautiful woman in a wealthy family. She gave birth to herself at the age of 16, and she has been busy until now.

Zheng Nian knelt on the ground holding the cracked, muddy and wounded feet, and tears fell into the basin.

This is my mother.

Thinking of how hard she had endured for so many years, if she was really a good-for-nothing.

I can only really be sorry.

Now start all over again, why give up again?

Grasp the scale, at least let her live a good life, right?

"Son, mother is nothing else, just remember the ten words your father said to you before his death."

Lying on the kang, the old lady said in a deep voice, "If you will do good deeds, don't ask about the future."

After that, he turned sideways and fell asleep.

After the pot in the house is heated and filled with water, it takes at least half an hour before the rice can be harvested.

Sitting on the street, most of the small vendors on the street have gone home. They can only see a line of night watch soldiers wandering back and forth, and occasionally they can bump into a few colleagues in the same class patrolling the night.

Looking at the sky full of stars, Zheng Nian remembered what Qin Feng said.

"Everything is going on these days. Immortals practicing Taoism are flying all over the sky, and there are many martial arts masters in the capital."

"At least you have to be at the eighth rank of martial arts or the seventh rank of immortality to protect yourself, right?"

Thinking of this, he took out the book in his arms.

There was an extra line of writing on the pitch-black cover.

【Number One Martial Arts in the World】

"The tone is really loud." Zheng Nianle said.

After opening the book, be concise.

【Ten ranks of martial arts, all ranks are cultivated. 】

[The world's Dharma is ever-changing, but it can never be separated from its origin. 】

[External training of tendons, bones and skin.Internally practice the mind, essence and qi.One thing is essential. 】

[It is gathered together to form momentum. 】

[Momentum is achieved by warriors alone, there is no teaching and no learning, to practice the world's number one martial art, you must first develop momentum before you can practice. 】

Well, make porridge and go to bed.

I don’t know what this momentum is. There are still so many strenuous steps in cultivating your thing, that’s all, let’s look at the next one after I figure it out.

Putting the book away, Zheng Nian turned around and went back to study the rice porridge.
