The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 94
"Why don't you report to the officials?" Xiao Qinzhi realized something just as soon as he said it.

Zhao Yunfei was even more angrily said: "Brother Qin, you are so confused, the county government and the county government are all people with their four surnames, what's the use of reporting to the officials? Maybe you will be charged with a random crime, and you will be admitted to the university once. Prison. Last year, a young lady from a good family went out for a spring outing in the city. She was taken away in broad daylight. It's gone, the little lady was ruined by them, she couldn't bear the humiliation, and committed suicide the next day."

Xiao Qinzhi was horrified and said: "How can this be reasonable? The four of them are known as the four famous families in Jiangzuo, and they are allowed to ignore human lives and continue to act mischievously? Are you afraid of losing their reputation?"

Xu Miao snorted coldly and said, "In Wu County, who can control the four of them? Which of them has thousands of troops, and with a simple wave, they can recruit an army of ten thousand people. Huddled together tightly, even the imperial court is not afraid. In the eyes of the four families, the four minor murders killed me and the poor people in brown clothes. Pay the victim a small amount of money, and the matter will be settled. The sky in Wu County belongs to the four of them. If anyone refuses to accept it, he will be given soft food first, and the hard one will come if he doesn't eat it.

Zhao Yunfei said angrily: "We are all brown-clothed poor people. They are all untouchables. Since they are untouchables, they are naturally untouchables. They are born high and high, and lowly lives are not life. How can they treat untouchables as human lives? There was Shi Chong in the past. They also imitated Shi Chong in persuading them to drink and kill dancers, in their eyes, the untouchables are nothing more than boring and for fun."

Xiao Qinzhi remained silent. He used to be in the Xiao's manor and was sheltered by his family, so he didn't feel anything. Now that he came out, he saw the cruelty of this era for the first time.

"Fate is not fate!" Zhao Yunfei's words were deeply engraved in Xiao Qinzhi's heart.

"Brother Qin, what I said to Brother Xianmin is by no means alarmist. Wu County is no better than Jinling. What's more, this time the Chinese education provoked, and the four little killers suffered a big loss again. They will definitely not let it go. In my opinion, Qin Brother, you'd better go back to Wujin to escape." Zhao Yunfei persuaded.

"When a cockroach appeared in the room during the day, in fact, at night, the cockroach had already spread all over the room. I believe what Brother Yunfei said, and I am very grateful." Xiao Qinzhi took a sip with a heavy heart. Tea with mixed flavors, said again: "But I won't avoid it. The disaster happened because of me, and it also affected you. If I walk away, wouldn't I be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"They are nothing more than relying on their power to bully the good and oppress the weak. I have experienced it in Wuxi. I was not afraid at that time, and naturally I will not be afraid now. There is always a solution to the problem. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Brother Xianmin, you Let’s talk about it in detail first, let’s discuss a countermeasure.”

Xu Miao said: "A few days ago, someone from Hua'an told me in private that there were rumors that you were going to study in Wu County.

Xiao Qinzhi wondered: "How did he know that I want to study in Wu County?"

Xu Miao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I didn't realize it until today's incident. It turns out that the Huajiao got involved with the four little killers to sow discord."

Xiao Qinzhi thought: "I only told Chen Yunzhi about coming to Wu County to study in advance. No one else knew. Chen Yunzhi was definitely not a murderer. Then how did Huajiao know? Well, things have already passed. It is futile to pursue this." Yan said: "And then? Is there?"

Xu Miao continued: "The 'Meilin House' is a trap they deliberately set up. They deliberately didn't pay the rent, just to attract people to watch. Before you, several northerners have been fooled."

Xiao Qinzhi suddenly realized: "No wonder he asked me my name and where I'm from as soon as we met?"

Xu Miao said again: "I just woke up, and I heard that A Tuo said that someone came to look for me. I figured that Brother Qin came to Wu County in the past few days. I thought it must be you, but later I heard that he had gone. Yanshan, I knew something big was going to happen, so I hurried to find someone to come with me. It’s a good thing you didn’t enter the garden, otherwise, once the gate of the garden was closed, it would be a shame every day, and the land would not work. The four of them were waiting for it. Where are you coming?"

Having said this, Xiao Qinzhi felt lingering fears after thinking about it for a while, and after a while he was afraid that if he really entered the garden, he would be beaten up and down, and if he was serious enough to tell his name, it would be more than just a beating.

Suddenly, Xiao Qinzhi had a doubt, and asked: "Brother Xianmin, in this case, why didn't Dr. Xu go back to Beijing to give oral studies, and why did he have to stay in Wu County?"

Xu Miao said helplessly: "My father has a very good personal relationship with Lu Shijun. He was helped by Lu Shijun before. He once said that as long as Lu Shijun was in office, he would teach in Wu County for a day. In fact, if Lu Shijun was not He is fairly honest and always helps, this thatched cottage probably ceased to exist long ago."

Looking at Xiao Qinzhi again, he persuaded him: "So, with Lu Shijun here, they are more or less restrained, at least they dare not do something too outrageous to us, but Brother Qin, you offended them badly when you came. , it's better to listen to brother Yunfei and go back to Wujin to avoid it."

Xiao Qinzhi shook his head resolutely, and fell into deep thought.

The big family has luxuriant branches and complex personnel. There are some things that Lu Shijun may not be able to control, and he is unable to do what he wants. But big families have a common problem. The higher the status of the family, the more they cannot tolerate the loss of prestige. Achilles heel.

Therefore, considering all the circumstances, Xiao Qinzhi came up with a plan and said: "Brother Xianmin, brother Yunfei, first spread the news about Wenyue, it is best to let the whole city know, the more people know The better, they will be forced to use ulterior motives instead of shady tricks."

"Also, discuss with them and set the agreed time limit to next month."

Zhao Yunfei asked, "Will they agree?"

Xiao Qinzhi said confidently: "They won't agree, but they will definitely agree. There was a fight today, and everyone was injured. They are from the noble family, and they pay more attention to appearance than us. How can they disagree?"

Xu Miao said: "And then?"

Xiao Qinzhi said: "Strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, this month, we should all be careful, don't walk alone, and give them a chance to catch people."

Xu Miao continued: "And then?"

"Hmph - of course I treat guests tonight, and invite the other brothers to dinner to thank you for your help." Xiao Qinzhi was holding the tea, his eyes were dazed, as if he saw Huajiao snickering behind his back, and said with a sneer: " Huajiao must be having fun behind his back now, let's sit still, eat and drink enough, and then go to deal with him tomorrow."

Zhao Yunfei stared at a pair of big puzzled eyes, her thoughts were a little confused, and she said: "Brother Qin, the Huajiao didn't show up, how to deal with him?"

Xu Miao was thoughtful, and looked at Xiao Qinzhi, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Xiao Qinzhi smiled and said: "Since Huajiao can use the four little killers to make trouble for me, naturally I can also use the four little killers to make trouble for him."

Zhao Yunfei said: "Brother Qin, please clear up your doubts."

Xu Miao smiled, probably understood, and said: "Brother Yunfei, what Brother Qin meant was that the four little killers knew that they were being used by Huajiao, and that's why they suffered a lot. Think about it, with the virtues of the four little killers, can you let the Chinese education go?"

Zhao Yunfei affirmed: "That must not be the case! They are not the ones who are willing to suffer."

Xiao Qinzhi went on to say: "I'm sure, after the Huajiao learns that we have conflicts with them, they will add fuel to the flames and flatter them. Therefore, we will expose it tomorrow, and then the four little killers will feel that they have been killed by the Huajiao." Besides, if you use it again and again, you will definitely be furious, and if you can't find us in trouble for the time being, you will naturally vent your anger on Huajiao."

He also said: "It's okay if this matter doesn't make a big fuss. Once it gets out of hand, it will be the time when the Huashi in Wuxi is destroyed. Last time when the Huashi was killed, none of the Wudi gentry was willing to help. This time, the Huajiao bewitched again The four minor killers, if the fourth minor killers lose face and thus damage the family reputation of the four families, guess who will be the first to be unlucky?"

"Wuxi Fahrenheit." Zhao Yunfei blurted out.

Xiao Qinzhi didn't want to evade, and his analysis was logical, so Xu Miao didn't persuade him. He called A Tuo, went to the city to find Xianglou, and ordered a banquet.

Xunxiang Building has a delivery service, people don't have to go to the city, there are servants who will send them to Yueya Lake. After school at night, a group of seven or eight people chatted and laughed happily, and had a good time eating.

Because Xiao Qing arrived in the thatched cottage in the afternoon, and the ceremony of appreciating a teacher is not allowed in the afternoon, so early the next morning, Xiao Qinzhi came to see Dr. Xu with the ceremony of concluding repairs, and handed over old man Cui's letterhead.
