Khorne

Chapter 3 "The Master said: Hearing the Tao in the morning, it is possible to die in the evening, what is the explanation?"

Hearing that his father, the majesty of a county, would condescend to visit an ordinary small landowner in person, Zhang Youdao was shocked and said: "Father, it's just a small member of the staff, plus a mud leg from who knows where?" My son, why do you have to go there in person? It’s really impossible to ask them to come here by themselves.”

Hearing what Zhang Youdao said, Zhang Chengli closed his eyes immediately, and took several deep breaths before finally recovering.

He slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "You naughty son, I tell you to study more on weekdays. You have lived like a dog all these years!"

It was rare for Zhang Chengli to speak so harshly to his only son, Zhang Youdao was so frightened that he fell silent and dared not speak.

Then I heard Zhang Chengli continue: "Remember it for me. The way to be a man is nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing the hard. You bully men and women on weekdays. Those are just ordinary people, and you can't find anything. As long as I don't kill anyone, I'll turn a blind eye and forget it. But now, if Zheng Xing really has such great abilities, if you make the relationship stiff, how will it end then?"

Zhang Youdao whispered: "Father taught me that."

"Hmph," Zhang Chengli narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "This time, I will go and see for myself. Zhang Er can deceive people, but the big willow tree at the gate of the courtyard can't deceive people, right? I think it's good to make friends with him, if it's not true, heh heh, when I get rid of him, naturally I don't have to worry about it."

When he said this, he paused and said slowly: "In this world, what is the most important?"

"Talent!"

……

Outside Wang Yuanwai's courtyard.

Steward Zhang stood at the gate without looking sideways, holding a letter of worship in both hands, waiting respectfully for the king to come out.

Soon the gate opened, Wang Yuanwai trotted all the way, and he clasped his fists as soon as he met him: "Oh, Manager Zhang, you said that you can send someone to inform you if there is anything, why bother you to come to the door in person?"

Guanshi Zhang is about sixty years old, with many wrinkles on his face, he smiled kindly, and said: "Our master heard that a strong man came to the house. The villain came to inform me that our master will visit tomorrow afternoon in person, and wants to meet the strong man, and hope that Wang Yuanwai will receive him well."

He said it very politely, and at the same time offered the greeting card in his hands.

Wang Yuanwai could also read some characters, so he hurriedly opened it and saw that Zhang Chengli's signature was on the bottom of the greeting card, which made him quite frightened.

You must know that although he is an outsider, the status and status gap with Zhang Chengli, the county magistrate of Qinghe County is not ordinary, and he suddenly said excitedly: "I understand, I will prepare well when I go back, and welcome adults to come to the door when the time comes!"

Manager Zhang finished his work, cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go back and deal with business."

Wang Yuanwai hurriedly took out a piece of silver and slipped it into Guanshi Zhang's hand: "I have to trouble Guanshi Zhang to take care of us in front of the adults."

Guanshi Zhang smiled slightly, but did not refuse, nodded and said: "The old man should do his best."

After sending Guan Shi away, Wang Yuanwai went back to the house, the woman and Wang Jun, Wang Xueyan and his brother and sister hurriedly gathered together, Wang Jun asked: "Father, what is that Guan Shi here for?"

Wang Yuanwai frowned, he put the invitation on the table, and said: "Master Zhang, the county magistrate, has heard about Mr. Zheng Langjun's ability, so he intends to pay a visit in person. But I always feel that he may not be out of kindness."

It was only yesterday that the yamen sent people to rob people, and today the county magistrate personally issued a greeting card.

Everyone is not a fool, and the first reaction is that this county magistrate must have no good intentions.

But the etiquette of the family is sufficient, but there is nothing wrong with it.

For a while, several people didn't know what to do, but at least they knew a little bit, and the matter must have something to do with Zheng fear.

Wang Yuanwai thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry about it, Jun'er, you and your mother should pack up the things at home right now. Tomorrow, I will check the tone of the county magistrate first. If there is nothing wrong, that's all. , if he came here to ask for a marriage for his useless son, we will agree on the surface, and then run away immediately!"

Wang Jun nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Wang Yuanwai looked at Wang Xueyan again: "Yan'er, try not to show your face in public tomorrow and let him see it. If he really came for you, you must remember to deal with it on the face, no matter what he says, you have to agree, and then after they leave we will If you run away again, you can’t let them see through.”

Wang Xueyan wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "Daughter understands."

"Go," Wang Yuanwai waved his hand, then sighed, looked at Zheng Kin who was reading a book in the gazebo in the courtyard, got up immediately, walked to Zheng Kin, and said, "Mr. Zheng, what are you busy now?"

Zheng, who was absorbing the golden energy from the book, saw Wang Yuanwai coming, put away the book, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have gained something from reading these two days."

Moisturized by golden energy, not only his physical fitness has been soaring all the way, but his whole temperament is also more suitable for this era.

Even the hair has grown a lot in just a few days.

Wang Yuanwai looked at him up and down, and sighed: "Zheng Langjun is really a hero. No one in the world can match his face alone. Alas, it is our Wang family who suffered this time. I am afraid that Zheng Langjun will be killed again." A lot of help."

Zheng Xing has been taken care of by Wang Yuanwai's family since he traveled to this era, otherwise he would easily have problems where to eat.

Now, when I heard that I need help, I naturally said nothing. I patted my chest and said, "It's okay to say something outside the staff. Of course, I won't refuse those who can help me."

Wang Yuanwai immediately told about County Magistrate Zhang's visit.

Zheng feared and said with a smile: "I don't know what it is, it's a trivial matter, just feel at ease. Don't say that the county magistrate doesn't know the purpose of coming, even if he is really uneasy, he is not afraid. No matter how hard he is, he can still Can it be hard with that big tree?"

There is a reason for Zheng fearing to say this.

In the era of Song Huizong, the generals became weaker and weaker, so it was okay to scare ordinary people with those weak officials in Qinghe County who were like small saplings. In his eyes, it was useless to come.

At that time, even if the face is really torn apart, with his current ability, he will not have the slightest difficulty to leave after lying down on those official posts.

Hearing what Zheng fear said, Wang Yuanwai immediately felt a lot more at ease: "Mr. Zheng said so, I feel at ease."

So Wang Yuanwai went back to the house and arranged for the servants of the family to buy some good wine and meat, waiting for the magistrate Zhang to come to the door.

Soon after the afternoon of the second day, Wang Yuanwai stood at the gate early.

Wang Jun followed beside him.

After a while, I saw Magistrate Zhang walking over with two servants, hands behind their backs.

Wang Yuanwai trotted down the steps in front of the door, and saluted first: "Xiaomin Wang Tong, I have met Mr. Zhang."

Wang Jun followed suit.

"Oh, please get up quickly." Zhang Chengli quickly reached out to help Wang get up together. At the same time, he turned his eyes slightly and looked at the big willow tree next to the courtyard gate.

On the trunk of a big willow tree with a thick chest, there is a big hole the size of the mouth of a bucket, which is very eye-catching!

Zhang Chengli's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this, and his heart was extremely shocked.

In an instant, he put on a smiling face, held Wang Yuanwai's hand, and said in a pleasant manner: "I heard that my son bumped into Yuanwai the day before yesterday, and I feel very uneasy. Because my rebellious son is frightened, I will surely have trouble sleeping and eating."

Wang Yuanwai was overwhelmed by flattery, and said anxiously: "My lord's words are serious, my lord's words are serious."

Soon after arriving at the gate of the courtyard, County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand: "Go back first, I'm going to eat at Yuan's house today, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back until evening."

The two servants hurriedly withdrew.

Entering the courtyard of Wang Yuanwai's house, County Magistrate Zhang looked around and asked, "I have a problem with Yuanwai because of my son's collision the day before yesterday. Yuanwai has something that needs my help recently. Even though everyone is My own people, you don't have to be polite."

Wang Yuanwai quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Sir, for your kindness, everything is fine for Cao Min, and Lord Lao is worried."

When a group of people entered the room, Wang Tong invited Zhang Chengli to sit at the top, Zhang Chengli was not polite, after sitting down, he saw that there were already eight dishes, one soup, and two jars of good wine on the table, which was full of sincerity.

He never mentioned anything about Wang Xueyan, just smiled and said: "I heard that a strong man has come to your house, he has the ability to reach heaven and earth, the old man loves talents, I want to see him, not just outsiders, can you introduce me?"

Hearing what he said, Wang Yuanwai's heart beat half a beat faster.

Could it be that this county magistrate really came here for Zheng Horn?

Rather than matchmaking for his son?

Wang Yuanwai was somewhat uncertain, but since he said so, he naturally had no reason to object, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Young man, go and call him here."

County Magistrate Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you."

Soon, Wang Yuanwai brought Zheng fear into the door.

County magistrate Zhang saw Zheng Kin's appearance, his eyes brightened immediately, he stood up, walked up to Zheng Kin, looked up from the top of his head to the instep of his feet, and exclaimed: "Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a person in this world." Hero! Before I heard Zhang Er say that a strong man is more than seven feet long, and that the demon god descends to the earth, I still don’t believe it. Now, it seems that Zhang Er is a bit reserved! The strong man’s appearance, even if he catches a bear with his bare hands and punches a tiger. Get off!" As he spoke, he took a step forward, grabbed Zheng Kin's thick forearm, which was almost as thick as his thigh, and said: "Strong man, sit down quickly, today I will not get drunk with the strong man and will not return!"

He was so enthusiastic, but on the contrary, Zheng Xing and others who were present were at a loss.

But no matter what, they were still at Wang Yuanwai's house, and they were not afraid of what tricks he might play, so they immediately sat down together, while Wang Jun stood aside and was in charge of pouring wine for them.

County magistrate Zhang raised his glass first: "Come on, it's really my honor to meet people like Zheng Yingxiong today, let's all drink this cup together first!"

Wang Yuanwai: "Please!"

Zheng fear: "Please!"

The three drank a cup.

After drinking this wine, the chatter started.

County magistrate Zhang is indeed a master at observing people's words and emotions, and he made Wang Tong smile with a few words at the wine table. Zheng feared that he had participated in many wine games before, and he had seen all kinds of people, so his resistance was naturally strong. Quite a few, but this is the so-called reaching out and not hitting people with smiles. County magistrate Zhang has been picking good things to say since he arrived at the scene today.

After drinking for three rounds soon, County Magistrate Zhang looked at Zheng Xing with a smile, and asked, "I don't know what hobbies heroes usually have?"

Zheng feared with a smile and said, "Read a book."

County magistrate Zhang: "Oh? I didn't expect the hero to have such a sense of elegance. I don't know what book the hero is reading?"

Zheng fear: ""Lun Yu"."

"The Analects of Confucius?" County magistrate Zhang's eyes lit up: "I'm familiar with this! Then I'm going to test and teach heroes!"

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and said, "The master said: Hearing the Tao in the morning, it is possible to die in the evening, what's the explanation?"
