Daming Yinghua

Chapter 29 A Little Man

"Fathers and neighbors, please let me in through a way."

Huang Zunsu, who was dusty and out of breath, was still polite to the people even at this time.

Everyone honestly spread out to both sides, but instead of giving face to Huang Zunsu, a strange eighth-rank new official, they were suppressed by the Sichuan soldiers under Ma Xianglin's command.

The yamen servants the villagers usually see, or the archers of the inspection department, are all quick-tempered and shouting, and they are really no different from those green-skinned thugs.

But these sergeants in front of them were holding guns, bows on their backs, and short knives in their waists. They stood there quietly in a group of ten or so, without grinning fiercely. Feeling cold and hairy in the heart.

Even the horses behind them didn't shake their necks or snort much, standing still like trees, obviously they were well-trained war horses.

A few middle-aged villagers who had some experience and stayed behind the troublemakers whispered to each other: "Look, those soldiers in our Songjiang are dogs at best, and the ones brought by Jinyiwei are wolves."

Huang Zunsu came to the gate of Dong's Mansion and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is General Ma. He was ordered by the imperial court to lead his elite officials to the six southeast mansions to wipe out the evil bandits. The general just wiped out a large number of gangsters in the Dianshan Lake area. The water bandits rushed to my Songjiang mansion today."

When Huang Zunsu said this, he stopped abruptly, leaving the troublemakers to think about the words behind "to my Songjiang Mansion".

Ma Xianglin also didn't speak, and folded his hands calmly, looked around the green-skinned thugs, saw that they suddenly became nervous from arrogance, and then turned his eyes back to the villagers in front of him.

After a few moments of silence, there was a leader-like man in Fanjiazhuang who said boldly, "Ma, Ma Da, General, we are not bandits."

Ma Xianglin said "Oh", pointing to a row of burdens behind the crowd that had been detained by Sichuan soldiers, and asked him: "Aren't you gangsters? Are you farmers in the county? Then you go into the city with sticks in your hands and fire. for what?"

The man flinched back, looking for help to Weng Yuansheng who was lying on the ground.

The panic in Weng Yuansheng's chest had already surpassed the severe pain in his shoulder.

The calm Jinyiwei in front of him seems to have been attracted by Huang Zunsu. The two men, one civil and one military, obviously want to protect Dong's mansion.

Weng Yuansheng's thoughts turned, and he thought to himself, it was the people above who set up a trap for Dong's family and incited the villagers to smash, smash and burn, but this Jinyiwei also came from the imperial court... Could it be that Dong Qichang had actually prepared it long ago? , looking for rescuers to back up?
No matter what's going on, he can't lose his helmet and armor so quickly under the watchful eyes of everyone, he has to hold on to the mansion to come.

Weng Yuansheng covered his shoulders, got up swaying, reluctantly bowed to Ma Xianglin and said: "General Ma, I am a small official. Because I am also a scholar, I feel sympathetic with Fan Xiucai who exposed the evil deeds of the Dong family. I can't bear to see him die in vain and his family humiliated. Therefore, I brought the elders of the Fan family village to the Dong family to ask for an explanation."

Dong Zuchang, who was behind him, grabbed his back collar and said angrily: "That scholar named Fan compiled a playbook that slandered me for robbing women, and then gave it to the troupe to sing, but he didn't pay him. I reported it to the Yamen, and he happened to be sick and died a few days later. What does it have to do with me? You are jumping up and down like this, and these guys in Fanjiazhuang must have been tricked by you. Then let's make it clear that you are talking about Fan Xiucai. My mother and daughter-in-law were insulted by my servants, but tell me, what day is it?"

Weng Yuansheng poked his neck and shouted into the crowd: "Sister-in-law of the Fan family, sister-in-law... don't be afraid, Lord Jin Yiwei of the imperial court is here, come out and tell me, when is the day when the Dong family bullied you?"

I saw two strong women pushing out a woman wearing white flowers.

The woman had already shaken into a sieve, and stammered: "Yes, it was Qixi Festival, this Second Master Dong ordered someone to beat me and my mother-in-law, and even tore our clothes."

When she said this, she burst into tears.

She was originally an honest country girl who only knew how to serve her mother-in-law and her husband, but she didn't know why in just one month, her husband Fan Chang, who had been studying well in an academy in Songjiang City, suddenly died of illness.Then, Weng Yuansheng, who claimed to be her husband's friend, brought her and her mother-in-law to the city to identify the corpse, and then asked her and her mother-in-law to cry at the gate of Dong's mansion on the condition of 50 taels of silver. The second young master bullied them.

50 taels of silver is enough for her and her mother-in-law to pull the two boys in the family for several years. She is a woman who has a dead man. Does she have any other choices?
Unexpectedly, money is not so easy to get, and I have to cry today to give it.

Originally, it was agreed that he was only pulled over for show, but when things came to an end, he had to repeat those embarrassing words in front of so many men.

This lady Fan hadn't howled a few times when she heard a young woman's crisp voice behind her: "You guys are really talking nonsense, framed and framed. On the Qixi Festival, Second Master Dong was not in Songjiang at all."

It was Han Ximeng who stepped out the door to scold him.

……

A moment ago, Zheng Haizhu was stretched out by Ma Xianglin. When he got off his horse and landed, he didn't have time to stand still. He saw Ma Xianglin pick up the Zhe bow, quickly climbed up an earth wall, and jumped up a camphor tree. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and shot a shot. arrow.

Zheng Haizhu was dumbfounded.These men who practiced martial arts in ancient times, their kung fu is too hardcore.

Yan Siqi went into the sea to beat a shark, Ma Xianglin went up a tree to shoot a trickster, everything was like searching for something.

What's more, Ma Xianglin was still on the way to rescue him, so he changed into Zheng Haizhu's inconvenient outfit.Zheng Haizhu traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and this was the first time she saw the flying fish suit. She felt that the dress was as beautiful as it was beautiful, but the lower body was more cumbersome than a tutu skirt.

Ma Xianglin told Zheng Haizhu and Huang Zunsu that this was a gift from the Holy Majesty.The flying fish suit is not only given to Jin Yiwei, but this time he was ordered by the emperor to take over Qiu Wanliang's bandit den, which is basically no different from the angel Tiqi, so he just put on the flying fish suit to frighten the officials and people of Songjiang.

Zheng Haizhu was originally standing behind the Sichuan soldiers and was listening intently. Just when he combined his limited historical knowledge with the conversations of several people to sort out the whole story of "people's copying of Dong's house", he suddenly saw that Han Ximeng had stolen from Dong's mansion. out the door.

She was shocked when she heard Han Ximeng's words "Dong Erye is not in Songjiang at all".

Zheng Haizhu said "I want to go in" with Chuan Bing beside him, and Chuan Bing immediately opened a way for her from the crowd.

"Miss!"

"Azhu!"

"aunt!"

When Han Ximeng first saw Zheng Haizhu appearing alive and kicking, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.Behind her, Zheng Shoukuan, who accompanied her out today, also ran out, cheering for the reunion with her aunt.

However, Zheng Haizhu quickly leaned into Han Ximeng's ear, and whispered to remind: "Miss, is the trip to Suzhou for outsiders?"
