The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 18

"Murder!"

"Hurry up and save the master!" "Fight with them!"

The nursing home that was swept by Changqiang was still getting up, and the other people in the Liu residence were in a state of chaos, clamoring to kill Geng Qing, some did not dare to move, some screamed and wanted to pounce on them, and a group of villagers in Gengjia Village also took Even with poles, hoes and other agricultural tools, they also rushed over.

"come!"

"Don't think we dare not work hard!"

Qiang~qiang~ There were a few sounds of drawing a knife, and the three yamen servants held the handle of the knife and pulled out half of it, shouting at the group of guards: "Who dares to take a step forward."

Seeing the three half-drawn horizontal knives, everyone stopped, and the thug who shouted the most fiercely shut his mouth quickly, looked left and right at his companions who couldn't move forward, and shrank back.

Geng Qing had already turned around, his gaze was stern, "Here is the neck, if you have the ability, come and chop it. But, you'd better carry your master back first, otherwise he will bleed to death, and it would be bad for me if he died here." The feng shui of the family village."

A group of nurses heard this and looked at Liu Mang who was on the ground. One by one hurried over to lift him up and put him on the ox cart, but they didn't dare to leave. Shaking the long spear, pointing to the mountain road outside, the crowd hurried back with the bullock cart without saying a word.

Here, Geng Qing withdrew his gaze and cast his gaze on the horse. An Jingsi turned over from above, nodded with a smile, and signaled that he didn't need to thank him. He waved his hand to let the pawn come over and ordered him to distribute the land deeds according to the above account name, and walked aside. Standing on the edge of the field and inserting the long lance, they compared their thumbs.

"Wonderful!"

Looking at it from the beginning to the end, this young Si Bing couldn't help applauding, and blinked at Geng Qing, who was a year or two older than him.

"I thought you were a flatterer, but now I realize that what you did was for the people of this village. It's hard for someone to swallow their anger and flatter others. An Mou admires it in his heart."

"Smart intrigues should not be appreciated."

Geng Qing's stuff is actually rough and tight, and it only takes advantage of the poor and illiterate to have this miraculous effect. If it were a scholar who had read the classics, if he spoke the first sentence, he might be suspected by the other party.

Amidst the noise of people calling out names to claim the land deeds, An Jingsi laughed twice. After a while, his smile gradually subsided, and he looked back and saw that he was already running away from the cart, "Brother Geng, I'm afraid you have to be careful in the future. Liu Mang will definitely take revenge."

"Thank you for your concern. At worst, I will just hide in the village and not go out."

An Jingsi turned around, saw his smiling expression, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed too. Since he could come up with this series of plans, how could there be no way out?With this insidious ability, no one else could hurt him.

It seemed that he was thinking too much, the two stood on the side of the road talking and laughing for a while, after the land deeds were distributed that day, An Jingsi called the pawn and three yamen servants to leave.

"An Sibing, everyone take a step back."

Geng Qing suddenly opened his mouth to call them back, under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he went over to the pawn and raised his hands, the latter also quickly returned the gift, and got two ingots of silver. The official's face was full of smiles, and An Sibing was familiar with this young man, so his tone was naturally polite.

"I don't know what else to order?"

"I don't know how to read and write, can I borrow your pen and paper and write some words for me." Geng Qing approached and whispered something in his ear, and the pawn laughed "hehe" and said: "You really Bad enough."

Immediately, he stopped talking, took out the account book, tore off a piece of blank paper, and quickly walked away with the dry nib, then blew on the ink and folded it and handed it to Geng Qing.

"Wang Lizheng."

Geng Qing called out, and the thin man with his head buried all the time trembled, and slowly raised his face, and saw a smiling face approaching him, and a piece of paper was stuffed into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, there are not many people who know about this matter. Go back later and help the little one to hand this letter to Liu Mang. Don't open it halfway, it will hurt people."

There was staring at the dark smiling face in front of him, and the image of the other party's humility and flattery at home yesterday appeared in his mind.

"Small ones can't see through Lizheng."

"I can't guess your mind."

The picture was pulled back again, Li was touching the paper in his arms, nodded hesitantly, turned around and staggered back, his lips trembled slightly, and murmured something sentence by sentence.

"I can't figure you out" "I can't figure you out"

An Jingsi tilted his head, looked at the back of the man who left in a daze, and looked at Geng Qing beside him, "What did you tell him? Why does he look so lost."

"Who knows?!"

'Hehe.' An Jingsi laughed twice, looked at the sky and it was getting late, turned on his horse and held a soldier and clasped his fists: "Re-acquainted, let's go to An Jingsi, and when you get to the city, remember to come to the yamen to find I drink."

Geng Qing smiled, stepped forward and raised her hand: "I'm Geng Qing, but I'm penniless."

Over there, An Jingsi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, shook the reins, reined in his horse, and walked towards the main road, his bold voice echoed in the fields.

"At that time, An Mou invites you!"

Soon, he disappeared into the mountain road in the distance with the yamen servants and pawns.

At the entrance of the village, the neighbors put down their hoes and poles, and looked at the figure on horseback who had gone away. The people in the yamen, who were big men for ordinary people, whispered to each other.

"Hey, it's the Si Bing from Feihu County." "How old is the Si Bing?"

"How do I know?!"

"When did Da Zhu meet the other party? It seems that they are very familiar."

"I'm afraid this is climbing a high branch."

"I now believe the speculation that day."

"Possessed by a ghost?"

"It's not the stars coming down to earth!"

In the thin speech, the old man in the village smiled at the old man Geng who was panting heavily, which made the old man a little confused.

Mr. Geng could read a few words, he was the most knowledgeable in the village, he patted old man Geng on the shoulder and laughed again.

"You have a good son. Our Gengjia Village can't say that there will be a promising person! But, we must take care of this temper."

Geng Qing has never thought about whether he will be successful or not. When he first arrived, he just thought about how to survive first. He watched An Jingsi and the others leave, then turned around and turned back. When he came over, the noise at the entrance of the village gradually quieted down. Old man Geng paused. , stared at him and shouted: "Go back!"

Wang Jinqiu did not dissuade him, which was rare, he supported her husband and asked Geng Qing to follow him back.After entering the gate of the fenced yard, the little fox dragged its tail and hopped up and came running with a stone in its mouth. The old man Geng kicked it away and pointed to the room in the middle.

"Enter the hall!"

Geng Qing didn't know what was going on, looking at the faces of the old couple, he probably guessed that what he did was a bit risky, which made them angry.

As soon as he entered, the setting sun shrunk at the door, he turned around and his scalp felt numb, and saw the old couple each took a branch and walked in, the angry old man Geng just said: "Close the door!"

The red fox squatting outside the door under the eaves tilted its head and looked at the closed door crack, not understanding what was going on. The next moment, Geng Qing came from inside, "Wow!" "Old man, are you serious?" "It hurts!" It hurts~~" screamed, his tail was so frightened, he ran to the corner to hide, his ears drooped to cover the earholes, and he couldn't help shivering when he heard the scream from behind the door over there .

The black edge pushes the sunshade to stretch the foothills.

In Niujiaji, the courtyard with the plaque on the door of "Liu's House" was raised up with lanterns. Amid the sound of boiling soup and medicine, Liu Mang slowly opened his eyes smelling the strong smell of medicine.

"master"

The female voice rang in my ears, my head was still hurting, and I was wrapped in several bandages. After my consciousness recovered, the outlines of the main wife and several concubines in front of the bed gradually became clear. The two sons clamoring for revenge stood at the door. face surprise.

During the quarrel, Liu Mang was helped to lean against the bed, and weakly waved them to shut up.

"The servant I sent before, is he back now? Let them come in and see me!"

The two sons nodded, and then asked someone to go outside to bring the two guards in. It was the two who had been monitoring Geng Qing before, standing at the door with bruises and red marks on their faces, their heads drooping.

"Tell me, when you go out with Geng Qing, tell me exactly how you lost each other!"

Although the matter in Gengjia Village has been settled, Liu Mang seems to have figured out how he got it wrong, especially in these details, once he figured it out, he would definitely be able to see a person's good tricks.

"Tell me!" He yelled again, the wound on his head was shocked, he gasped in pain, the two over there looked at each other, and hesitantly talked about what happened after they went out.

"He went into Wang Lizheng's house, and when he came out, he said that Wang Lizheng's wife wanted to buy rouge. I didn't dare to offend him, so I had to go with him, and I fell for that little beast."

"How did the two of you lose it? What about the wound on your face?"

"I was beaten by a member of the Golden Knife Gang. He called us assassins to lure people from the Golden Knife Gang. Then he escaped and ran away. Later. It was getting dark, and we couldn't get out of the city gate."

"waste!"

Liu Mang looked at the flickering candles, closed his eyes, put the matter back together with his aching head, and then everything became clear, with traces to follow. Seeing that they were still clamoring to give each other a good-looking two sons, they patted He rang the edge of the bed, and the two shut their mouths in fright. He murmured: "You two will only be tricked if you go up. Hehe, I, Wang Lizheng, the county magistrate, was tricked into the whole thing. People from the rivers and lakes who don’t know anything have been counted in. I misunderstood, I can’t imagine that there is such a dilapidated village, there is such a crouching dragon, phoenix chick. Geng Qing”

The eldest son Liu Jin walked to the end of the bed, clenched his fist and swung it with some dissatisfaction, and slammed the railing at the end of the bed.

"Father?! Is that all?"

"Of course I won't just let it go like this, hit the snake seven inches." Liu Mang moved his head, and called the manager, his face was gloomy in the flickering firelight.

"Prepare some gold and silver, and send it to the county magistrate through your relationship, and then call the best people in the family to kill Geng Qing, and throw the body into the mountain to feed the wolves!"

The youngest son at the door suddenly glanced at the door, turned around and interrupted: "Father, Lizheng is here."

"He still dares to come!"

Liu Mang was so angry when he thought about what happened during the day, he was about to ask someone to beat him out, but after thinking about it, he suppressed his breath and said, "Let Wang Lizheng come in."

In an instant, the thin man timidly stepped into the threshold from the outside, saw Liu Mang who was wrapped in bandages on the couch, raised his hand and slapped himself.

"Master Liu, I can't be entirely blamed for this matter, that An Sibing threatened me over the cash register."

"Where did you get your silver taels?"

"Your 60 taels Geng Qing quietly gave me ten taels."

Liu Mang almost fell off the couch, his face was flushed with anger, and he beat his chest vigorously with his hands, "It's all my money that used my money to ruin me, this is to scare me!" ! '

Looking at the opposite side again with red eyes, the voice was hoarse: "Then what are you doing here again? Make an apology?!"

"Forget it, and Geng Qing asked me to give you a letter, saying that only you can read it." As he spoke, Rizheng took out a folded piece of paper from his arms tremblingly, and then Liu Jin Jin snatched it, handed it to his father, and said softly: "Father, I can't tell, this Geng Qing is afraid of revenge later, let Li Zheng talk about it, don't be fooled again, just don't look at it, so as not to feel angry."

"Tricked?! I want to see if you can send me away!!"

Liu Mang was so angry that he snatched it away, unfolded it from his hand, his expression froze, the hand holding the paper gradually trembled, his face turned red, and then the color faded quickly, and he leaned back , suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow' and splashed on the paper.

"He, he... pissed me off."

"master!"

"Father!" "Come on!"

In the chaos, with the palms hanging open, the piece of paper slipped to the side of the bed, and a line of writing could still be vaguely seen on the place stained with blood.

——Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your generosity, and let Gengjia Village exchange the land lease again. ^_^
There is also a smiling face next to it that seems to be mocking, and at the end, there are four words: stupid pig heart.
