Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 613
After lunch, Liang Yuyao still wanted to hurry, but Hong Zhenji tried hard to persuade Liang Yuyao to stay in Yuhai City for the next night.

It's okay to stay and live, drifting on the sea for many days, it's good to have a solid rest for a day.

Hong Zhenji specially prepared a manor in Yuhai City, where Liang Yuyao and the others settled down.

Tong Qingqiu checked around and found that there was no magic circle in the manor, and the craftsmen in the penance workshop also checked, and there was no mechanism in the manor.

It seems that Hong Zhenji didn't intend to use other schemes, Liang Yuyao settled down firmly.

After sleeping until dusk, Liang Yuyao planned to find Xu Zhiqiong to relieve her boredom, but Hong Zhenji had already prepared a dinner party.

This dinner was even richer than the lunch.

Hong Zhenji raised his glass: "I prepared a glass of thin wine in a hurry and neglected you all. I will make amends with this glass!"

Liang Yuyao was really hungry this time, but she ate a lot this time, and the soldiers also ate and drank openly.

Xu Zhiqiong had to get up and change his clothes again after eating halfway. When he arrived in the high-end toilet, he took out the pictures and looked at them. The dolls on the six pictures were all smiling faces.

This is the message Xia Hu sent to Xu Zhiqiong, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Xia Hu has already found the child.

The child's name is Qingye, from Nilong Village, Baifu County outside Yuhai City, and his father's name is He Laowang.

As soon as you hear the name, you know that He Laowang is a fisherman.

In Yuhai City, there is a rare and precious sea fish, also called Qingye, which has blue leaf patterns on its body. It can sell for two hundred cash per catty. After deducting the tax, there will be fifty cash left. Wenqian is almost enough for a family to eat and drink for two days, so if you buy a green leaf fish weighing one catty, you will have food for two days.

The fishermen were looking forward to catching the green leaf fish, so He Laowang named his daughter Qingye.

Today, He Laowang really hit a green leaf, a big green leaf, weighing a full two catties.

I was thinking of selling the fish to exchange for some rice, so that the family could have a meal of white rice.

But as soon as He Laowang took over the boat, he met Zheng Deliang, a pen official of Jiupin Jinxiu.

Zheng Deliang led two policemen, went forward to snatch the green leaf fish away, grabbed He Laowang's hair, and kicked him in the face several times.

He Laowang didn't know what happened, and shouted for injustice.

Zheng Deliang kicked at He Laowang and cursed: "You are still calling for injustice! The face of Qiancheng Kingdom has been completely lost by that bastard you gave birth to!"

The two policemen tied He Laowang with a rope and took him to the entrance of Nilong Village, Baifu County.

He Laowang was kicked and beaten all the way, and when he reached the village entrance, he saw his wife Wang Shi and daughter Qingye kneeling on the village entrance, their noses and faces swollen, and they seemed to have been beaten a lot.

He Laowang shouted: "What are you doing, master writer, you let my daughter go..."

"Let her go?" Zheng Deliang stepped forward and slapped Qingye across the face, "Say! What have you done?"

Qingye cried: "I, I'm greedy!"

Zheng Deliang stepped forward and slapped again: "Why are you so greedy!"

"Me, I ate other people's food."

"Whose food did you eat!" Another slap.

"I ate something from Xuanren."

"Why eat them?"

"I'm hungry……"

Zheng Deliang stepped forward and kicked Qingye: "You are so shameless, you can say that! Let me ask you, can you starve to death if you eat less?
What day is today?Today is the day for the prince to welcome the envoys!Who is the prince?The prince is the younger brother of the god, a god in the sky!

You eat their food, do you want Xuanren to look down on our Qiancheng Kingdom?Do you make Xuan people feel that our Qiancheng Kingdom can't afford food?Do you want to make the prince's face look bad? "

Zheng Deliang was still kicking and beating, but his mother, Wang, protected the child: "Master the pen official, you hit me, it's because I didn't control the child, it's my fault."

Looking at Mrs. Wang, Zheng Deliang was even more annoyed, kicking and kicking: "It's you, a bitch, who gave birth to such a bitch!"

He Laowang hugged his wife and children, and cried: "Master the writer, all the mistakes are my fault. I am useless. I haven't caught a few fish in the past two days. The child is really hungry. If you want to eat a lot of fish, don't worry about it." Just hit me!"

While kicking and beating, Zheng Deliang scolded: "Boneless bastard! Throw face in front of outsiders! Back then, I was captured by the pirates of Xuanguo and tortured for three days and three nights without saying a soft word.
You little bastard, after being hungry for two days, eats Xuanren's food, you think I didn't see it, my eyes can see through your heart, liver and lungs from three miles away!When did I miss you doing such nasty things like you!
Our Qiancheng Kingdom has a strong backbone, we would rather eat our own soil than others.

You are a bitch, you are shameful in front of Xuan people, why don't you let your daughter go out to sell, why don't you let her go out to beg for food, beggars have more backbone than you! "

Zheng Deliang was tired after kicking and beating for a long time, so he asked someone to bring two buckets of well water and pour them on the family.

It was cold and windy, and the whole family was covered with white mist.

"Stay here overnight and see if I can freeze your bastard bones!" Zheng Deliang spat and left.

It was getting dark, and Qiancheng had a night ban law, as long as it was dark, no one was allowed to go out.

All the villagers who watched the excitement left, and the rest of the family knelt at the entrance of the village, shivering in the cold wind.

Zheng Deliang went back to his house and ordered his servants to stew the green leaf fish that he snatched from He Laowang.

Zheng Deliang has not yet married, and there is only one old servant and one cook in the house.

After eating fish and drinking a pot of wine, Zheng Deliang went back to the bedroom and was about to fall asleep when he walked to the bed when he stumbled suddenly.

Strange, why does the bed seem to have a rope?

As soon as Zheng Deliang lowered his head, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his scalp, as if someone was tearing his scalp from behind.

He touched the top of his head and found that there were more than a dozen needles stuck in it.

When Zheng Deliang opened his mouth to shout, a masked woman suddenly appeared, pinched his lips with one hand, threaded a needle with the other hand, sealed eight stitches, and sewed his mouth shut.

Woo~woo~
Zheng Deliang hummed twice, and wanted to run away.

A ball of silk thread suddenly bound his legs, and Zheng Deliang rushed to the door, rubbing a large piece of flesh off his cheek.

Xia Hu walked up, stepped on Zheng Deliang's chest, took out a needle and thread, and pulled Zheng Deliang's left eyelid.

"I heard that your eyes are very sensitive."

Woo~woo~
Zheng Deliang cried miserably.

"Hold it, don't cry, let out another cry, and sew both of your eyes shut."

Xia Hu picked up the silver needle, sewed twelve stitches, and sewed Zheng Deliang's left eye shut!
Zheng Deliang gritted his teeth and endured at first, but when he got the second stitch, he couldn't help it and still cried out.

Xia Hu sewed his left eye shut and kicked Zheng Deliang in the face a few times.

Zheng Deliang twitched for a while, and something unknown leaked out of his pants.

Xia Hu covered her nose.

"Didn't you say that you were captured by pirates and tortured for three days and three nights without ever uttering a soft word? Why can't you help beating me?
Are you dissatisfied, saying that I am sneak attacking you?It doesn't matter, I loosen the silk thread on your leg, let you stand up, and give you another chance. "

Hearing this, Zheng Deliang's veins bulged, he struggled to stand up, and stared at Xia Hu with blood-red eyes.

Xia Hu smiled slightly: "Do it, let's see if you are tough?"

Zheng Deliang was pampered and spoiled since he was a child, how could he have suffered such a loss, suffered so much torture, and suffered so much humiliation, Zheng Deliang gritted his teeth, his heart broke, and he gave up.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
There are crisp sounds!

He knelt down on the ground and began to kowtow to Xia Hu!

Qiancheng's iron-framed man, his knees are not straight, Zheng Deliang kneels when he says kneeling, and kneels when he says kowtow!Not ambiguous at all!

Xia Hu kicked him in the face a few times: "What's the use of kowtowing to me? You beat someone else's child, and if you kowtow, this matter will be over?"

Zheng Deliang took out the purse and said he was willing to lose money.

Xia Hu opened the purse and poured out more than 50 Wen.

"Just this? Just this little?"

Zheng Deliang then kowtowed to Xia Hu, and Xia Hu stepped forward and kicked again: "Not to mention, you ate a green leaf fish from others, and a catty of green leaf fish costs two hundred coins. You should eat that fish for twenty dollars. catty!"

Zheng Deliang shook his head again and again, how could he eat a fish weighing twenty catties.

Besides, it is impossible for the green leaf fish to grow to twenty catties.

Xia Hu sighed, and sewed Zheng Deliang's ears to his scalp.

Zheng Deliang couldn't help nodding, saying that the fish was indeed twenty catties, and he was willing to pay for it.

"Twenty catties of green leaf fish cost two hundred renminbi a catty, which adds up to 1 renminbi. This fish is rare. I charge you twice as much. Twelve thousand renminbi is only 12 taels of silver."

Zheng Deliang didn't dare to make a sound, she said as much as she wanted.

"You beat He Laowang's family, I watched from the sidelines, let alone kicked a hundred kicks, punched a hundred punches, one punch and one kick, each a tael of silver, it doesn't matter how much you want, right?"

Zheng Deliang refused.

He didn't hit a hundred punches, certainly not a hundred punches.

And one punch and one tael of silver, is this killing people?

Seeing him shaking his head, Xia Hu tried to persuade him, "Since you don't agree, I'll sew your nose up and we can discuss it later."

After finishing speaking, Xia Hu sewed up Zheng Deliang's left nostril, leaving only one right nostril for Zheng Deliang to breathe out, and his whole body immediately became more transparent.

Xia Hu said: "You let that family of three freeze outside all night, and the money will be counted with you. If you add it up, it's only 300 taels of silver. How do you feel?"

Zheng Deliang didn't think much.

Xia Hu nodded: "Now count out the money and give it to me!"

Can Zheng Deliang, a ninth-rank official, pay 300 taels of silver?

Xia Hu was also skeptical at first. When Xu Zhiqiong was a white lamp man, he had to be deceived to buy an egg.

But when Zheng Deliang dug out a jar from the yard and handed it over to Xia Hu, Xia Hu no longer doubted it.

Qiancheng is definitely not as rich as Daxuan, but it does not mean that Qiancheng's writers are not as rich as Daxuan.

Zheng Deliang is rich, and this jar contains 500 taels of silver.

Xia Hu was very generous and said, "You don't need to look for it!"

Thanks to Zheng Deliang, Xia Hu removed the stitches from his mouth, but the stitches from his eyes and ears remained.

"Only I can untangle the needles and threads on your face. If you untie them yourself, your head will be shredded by the threads.
Three days later, I will come to you again. If you dare to take revenge on He Laowang's family, I will kill you slowly with silk thread. "

Leaving Zheng Deliang's house, Xia Hu found Yang Wu and Chang Decai.

Yang Wu took a picture and said: "The whole family sent them back and gave them some money.

At the beginning, He Laowang didn't dare to leave, he would rather freeze to death than leave. After a long time of persuasion, the three of them dared to go home. "

Chang Decai said: "What should I do with the Jinxiu pen official? Kill him, I'm afraid the government will not let this family go, keep him, and fear that he will retaliate in the future."

Xia Hu said: "Let's wait here for a few days, I think that guy will be scared by me."

For three days, there was no movement in Nilong Village, He Laowang's family did not dare to go out, and Zheng Deliang did not dare to go out.

On the third night, Xia Hu appeared in front of Zheng Deliang and removed the thread from his eyes and ears.

Zheng Deliang thanked him again and again, and promised not to trouble He Laowang's family in the future.

Xia Hu naturally didn't believe him, and asked Chang Decai to send the silver to He Laowang, so that he could settle down in another place.

He Laowang didn't dare to go anywhere. Their family's household registration is here. Qiancheng has a state-owned household law, which is very strict.

He Laowang is from Nilong Village, Baifu County. He goes out to fish in the daytime and has to come back at night. If he wants to leave Baifu County, he has to be guaranteed by a neighbor and go to the yamen to issue a document.
When he goes there and when he returns, the paperwork has to be written clearly. Without paperwork, it is difficult for him to move a single step in Qiancheng Country. After leaving Nilong Village, he will not be able to settle down anywhere.

Chang Decai had no choice but to give He Laowang 100 taels of silver first, and asked him to rebuild a house and live a better life.

It's not that he wants to take advantage of him, but he dare not give too much at once, otherwise He Laowang will have other troubles.

He Laowang didn't dare to accept the 100 taels of silver, he had never seen so much money.

Chang Decai persuaded him for a long time, but He Laowang was only willing to accept ten taels. He dug a hole more than three feet deep under the chicken coop and buried the silver.

It's okay to collect ten taels first, and then find a way to help them later.

Yang Wu gave Qingye a fat yellow (clay doll): "Girl, if someone bullies you again, you can whisper to it, "Mr. Wu Lang, someone bullied you, say it a few times, and it will definitely hear you." "

Qing Ye didn't dare to take it, Yang Wu whispered: "As long as you hide it, don't be afraid, hide it where no one can find it."

The three of them left Nilong Village, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but they didn't expect Zheng Deliang to go to the county to file a complaint just after the thread was removed.

He found Wei Guxian, an eighth-rank pen official, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and reported: "He Laowang, a villager in the mud cage, colluded with demons and beat the imperial court official, please Master Wei to be the master of the humble job!"
