Chapter 34 Showdown
Chapter 34 Showdown
The night wind ran across the eaves, and the courtyard guard carrying a lantern patrolled the courtyard. Not far from a window lattice, the dim light cut out two figures and cast them on the paper window, and the voices of voices continued to spread.
"He hit you? But you took everything you brought?"
The moth squeezed into the window gap, flapped its wings and hit the thin lampshade back and forth, stretched out a hand, and flicked the moth away with its fingers, revealing the light of the lampshade, Liu Man frowned and withdrew his hand, sank With a sigh, he leaned back in the chair.
"The man's demeanor and tone of voice are different in a few words, which is exactly in line with the bowed kneeling appearance when he came to the house before. People say that happiness and anger are invisible and hard to figure out, but this Geng Qing's mood is not only impermanent, It's changing all the time, that's why I really can't figure it out, I really don't know how to know what he said is true."
"Master."
In front of the sandalwood desk, the old steward standing on the side of the censer in the middle covered his bandaged head. Amid the pain, he whispered: "This time he accepted the gift and took the opportunity to beat it again. I'm expressing my thoughts, maybe I'll let it go?"
"Arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. The old man has won for too long, and underestimated the opponent."
Liu Mang looked at the moths that flew back and fluttered back and forth on the lampshade, and sighed. He used to pay little attention to outsiders. A young man who is so much younger.
The study room was quiet for a while, and the pounding stopped. In the silence, Liu Mang was still thinking about the iron ore. Even if the other party said that the two families reconciled and they will live in peace in the future, the iron ore should be the other's last move, but they don't know this chess piece. to fall there.
I always feel that talking about tearing up his ancestral house that day is definitely not out of anger.
But the more he thought about the details, Liu Mang's injured head became more painful, and he flicked away the moths crawling on the paper lampshade. He couldn't think about it anymore, so he waved his hand and told the steward to go back to rest.I am also very tired.
This time he slept soundly. When he got up early the next morning, nothing happened at home, he felt a little better. He simply called his two sons, brought his servants to take a walk around the town, and had a drink on the second floor of his inn. Drinking morning tea, listening to some gossip from the neighbors and the market, mostly about the county magistrate's visit to the town yesterday, and some people even went to the mountains to look for the iron mine, but they couldn't find it.
'No fun. '
With a nearly raised body, he can walk by himself with a little support. Liu Mang put down his tea and was about to get up when he suddenly approached the guardrail and narrowed his eyes towards the intersection outside the town.
On the road leading to Feihu County, there were seven or eight figures from afar riding horses towards this side, all dressed in government uniforms, and after coming, they did not enter the town, but stopped their horses at the intersection, like Is waiting for someone.
'Who are they waiting for?'
Liu Mang pushed away his eldest son who was supporting him, and cast his eyes in the direction of Gengjia Village. Along the winding dirt road at the foot of the mountain, the faint outline of a donkey cart was coming here.
'Geng Qing?Could it be that they are meeting here, planning to go to the mountains to talk about iron mines? '
"Help me down, hurry up!" Liu Mang turned his head and yelled at his son, he stumbled and was helped down the stairs, and out of the inn, the donkey cart from afar had already arrived, Geng Qing deliberately changed his body and it was fine Clean, with little pudding clothes, standing on the cart, raised his hands and greeted the eight yamen servants gathered over there.
These people knew that this young man was a celebrity in front of the county magistrate and county lieutenant, and starting today, he was a colleague, so they naturally politely bowed their hands in return.
After waiting for someone to get out of the donkey cart, someone took out the mended uniforms, black boots, and felt hats of the officials in the yamen that had been prepared and handed them to Geng Qing. Different, it can be regarded as a character in the main series of Yamen.
Geng Qing played with the wooden sign in his hand over and over again. It was carved finely, and there was a letter of 'Xu' engraved in the middle, "I'm now enjoying a public meal."
Thanks to a few colleagues over there, they took the donkey cart to cover them, put their official uniforms on their bodies, put their bare feet into their boots, put on their felt hats, and came out with their hands behind their backs. temperament.
"It's just dark." Dachun squeezed the rein and pouted.
These words made the eight yamen servants laugh out loud, they went over to congratulate Geng Qing one by one, and then invited them to the town, they should be busy with business.
After entering the town, a moment later, a figure also came from a nearby inn, stood on the eaves of the street, looked at Geng Qing who had changed into a clerk, and forced a smile.
"Brother Geng, where are you going?"
Dachun stopped the donkey cart, and Geng Qing on the back of the cart nodded and greeted immediately, pointing in the direction of Liu's house, "So it's Mr. Liu, I'm on a business trip, um, I'm going to your house."
"It's gratifying to be on a business trip. Uh, come to my house?!"
Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, looking at the direction of the young man's finger, the smile on his face faded instantly, a little excited to get down, but the donkey cart over there had already driven away.
"No reason!"
"Hurry up and help me into the sedan chair, what are you doing in a daze, take me back!"
Roaring hysterically, Liu Mang beat the servants around him to sit on the sedan chair, and scolded as he walked angrily: "Hurry up, you idiots, and that bastard in front!! You took my things and came to look for them in a blink of an eye. Unlucky, feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
The swearing and swearing attracted the attention of the townspeople. When they saw the yamen servant in front of them, some people reacted and ran to call acquaintances or relatives at home to watch the fun together.
Liu's house is not too far from the town, just walk one mile to the west, and when half of the town's people flocked past, Liu Mang also arrived at the door of his house, let his son go in and call the thugs from the nursing home, and blocked the door by himself. Let Geng Qing and others go in, his whole face flushed red.
"Geng Qing, what on earth are you going to do?! This is my home, not Geng's Village, you can come in if you want."
Over there, Geng Qing stood in front of the cart, looked up at him, shaking a notched pottery bowl in his hand, and the yamen servants around him saw the courtyard guard thugs rushing out, and stood in a row holding the handles of their knives. There was a "clang" sound, and half of Sen Han was exposed from the sheath.
"If you back off and dare to obstruct official business, don't blame the knife for being ruthless."
Over there, a group of guards did not dare to force themselves with the yamen servants. They stopped at the gate of the courtyard and looked at the master's house. Liu Man pursed his lips and told them not to move, and blocked the door.
"See if they dare to force their way in!"
In his eyes, Geng Qing just shook the pottery bowl, and after a while, he took a brush stained with cinnabar and came over, "Master Liu is cautious. In fact, we don't go in, we just want to be here."
He pointed to the white courtyard wall on the side of the courtyard gate, walked over, took out a brush and drew a big circle on it, the tip of the brush wandered around, and in the middle he wrote the word "demolition" stroke by stroke.
The cuffs were caressed, the tip of the pen moved, fell above the big circle, outlined a small circle and connected to the big circle, added small feet around each side, and finally pulled out a small tail crookedly at the end.
A bright red big bastard took shape impressively, carrying Kaizi on its back.
"You!" Liu Mang saw what was painted, and his already flushed round face turned even redder immediately, "You are too deceitful, you took my things yesterday, and you turned back on your promises today, and didn't give you a reason to demolish the house today. I will fight to the death with you!"
"Master Liu. We talked about our enmity yesterday, but yesterday was a private matter, and today's business is the most important thing."
Geng Qing put down his pen, handed the pottery bowl to Dachun, and walked to the front of the yamen with small steps with a smile, raised his face slightly, and spoke calmly.
"As for the reason, of course there is. In the future, a road will be paved here in your house, so that it is convenient to pull the ore out."
Liu Mang's expression froze there for a moment, and his body shook for a while. After all, he had experienced strong winds and waves, so he would not fall down so easily. He stared fiercely at Geng Qing, squeezed his palms tightly, and then let go, Smiling angrily, he pointed to the back of the house.
"Hehe. It's a good thing to think about. Just because you can move those two in the city with a few words, I may not be able to say no. Which way the ore should go, there is a lot of open space around, and the old man can pay for it. "
"Yes."
Geng Qing stepped up a stone step, reached out and patted the head of the stone beast next to it, and turned back with a smile, "If you can think of it, the two people in the county government naturally thought of it, and I thought of it too, but, There are two repairs in total, one going into the mountain from Gengjia Village, and the other going out from here. Who told you that your ancestral house is close to the mine. By the way, there is one more thing."
It took Liu Mang a lot of effort to prevent the headache from knocking him down, "Say."
In the sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds, it was so golden that people could squint their eyes. Geng Qing blew off the dust on his fingertips, and exchanged a glance with him, "In this world, there is never a shortage of people who make trouble. You are not the only one in Feihu County. The Liu family is a big family." The county lord and the county lieutenant just took the lead in opening this road. It is estimated that other gentry in the city knew about it when they went back last night. You said they let this road pass, what benefits will it bring them? "
The words are like saying a very ordinary thing.
".They are staring at the land deed in your hand."
The light words, like a heavy hammer, hit Liu Mang's chest hard, his fat body couldn't hold it anymore, he pointed at the young man who was smiling like a fox tremblingly.
Geng Qing walked to the donkey cart with his hands behind his back.
"Go back and pack your belongings, prepare to move tomorrow."
This plot is considered to have fallen, and the story extended from this plot is even more thrilling.
