Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 12
Feng Zhong was not the only one who could hear Xiang Kang's implication, a clerk who lived in Feng's house also heard Xiang Kang's blatant threat, and immediately shouted: "Little man, you dare to threaten our pavilion chief?"

Knowing the priority, Xiang Kang ignored the doorman, just looked at Feng Zhong with a smile, and waited for Feng Zhong to respond.But Feng Zhong was silent for a long time, and then asked with a livid face: "From your tone, are you threatening the head of the pavilion?"

"Tingchang Feng misunderstood, I feel sorry for you, I don't think it's worth it for you." Xiang Kang said eloquently: "As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary is a matter of being loyal to the emperor. Feng Tingchang, you eat the lumi given by the government. It is your duty to act for the government, and no one will blame you. The night before yesterday, you mistakenly thought that our uncle, who had murdered and escaped, came home and brought his men to search our house. No one among our Xiang family brothers blamed you, because this is What you should do is not specifically aimed at our Xiang family brothers, none of us thinks that you did something wrong, and no one wants to seek revenge from you and get back this face."

"Then you are still staring at me all day long?" Feng Zhong asked angrily.

"Because you scared our third aunt and made her sick." Xiang Kang slowed down and said with a serious expression: "Our two uncles are not showing pictures because of various things, and the two aunts take care of them." And the dozen or so brothers of our Xiang family who took care of our food and clothing are actually our mothers. Feng Tingchang, your people scared our third aunt and our mother into sickness. You said it yourself , should we settle accounts with you?"

Feng Zhong was at a loss for words, and he said after a while: "I am acting according to the law, and I didn't intend to scare your aunt."

"But you still made our third aunt sick." Xiang Kang sneered, and said, "And you sent people to keep an eye on our Xiang family all the time, and you might scare our other aunt at any time. The debt has to be settled on you Feng Tingchang!"

"Then what do you want?" Feng Zhong asked.

"Go to our house and respectfully kowtow three times to our third aunt, and then tell those soldiers who scared our aunt the night before to kowtow three times to apologize to our aunt, and the matter is over." Xiang Kang said proudly .

"You're dreaming!" Feng Zhong was furious, and said, "If I do this, what face will I have in the future? How can I be the head of the pavilion?"

"If you don't do this, how will our Xiang family brothers meet people in the future?" Xiang Kang raised his voice and said loudly: "Man, if you can't even perform the minimum filial piety, what face will our Xiang family brothers have?" live in this world?"

If Xiang Kang's words were placed in the modern society of the 21st century, I am afraid that they would not scare too many people. However, in this era where righteousness is valued over life and the spirit of chivalry is still very popular, Xiang Kang's words are very important.Familiar with the atmosphere of this era, and thinking of the fatal problem of two fugitive murderers in the old Xiang family, Feng Zhong's heartbeat inevitably accelerated, but Feng Zhong is also a person who wants to save face. After hesitating for a while, Feng Zhong Still biting the bullet and said: "Well, come on, I will accompany you till the end."

"It's back to the original question." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "Ting Zhang Feng, is it worth it? Now that you are here, your family can live comfortably, have enough food and clothing, but if you are not here, Ting Zhang Now, what about your family? Will the county give them eight dendrobium rice every month, and can their livelihood be maintained?"

Feng Zhong was silent, and he hesitated even more in his heart. He couldn't help thinking about the difficult situation his family would face if one of the Xiang family's children died with him.Seeing that he was wavering, Xiang Kang said again: "Mr. Feng Ting, although you are older than me, you are not much older. You can be regarded as peers. If you are peers, my aunt is also your elder. You, a junior, have done something wrong, so kowtowing to the elders to apologize is not an exaggeration, is it? The conditions I put forward are actually not too harsh, right? Don’t you think so?”

"That's right." Feng Zhong's heart was moved immediately, and he said secretly: "Yes, if the two women of the Xiang family are respected as elders, it's really not shameful for me as a junior to kowtow to them, and it's justified in terms of emotion and reason. , even if it spreads out, it’s not ashamed.”

Wavering is wavering, but for a while, Feng Zhong really couldn't make up his mind.Xiang Kang yawned and said, "Okay, Brother Feng, I've finished what I have to say, so you can decide for yourself."

After saying that, Xiang Kang lifted the small wine jar and shook it at Feng Zhong, took a mouthful, then turned and left.The pavilion soldiers and Feng family's servants who surrounded Feng Zhong subconsciously came up to stop him. Xiang Kang didn't panic, but just smiled and said, "What do you want to do? Let me remind you, whoever dares to do anything will be at his own risk."

Not seeing Feng Zhong's order, all the pavilion guards and retainers didn't dare to do it themselves, they could only watch Feng Zhong's reaction.After Feng Zhong hesitated again and again, he waved his hand and said in a weak voice, "Let him go."

When he returned to Xiang Sheng who was standing under the opposite tree in a big way, Feng Zhong and others had already retreated to the pavilion and closed the gate of the pavilion. Xiang Sheng also hurriedly asked Xiang Kang in a low voice: "How is it? The one named Feng How to say?"

"Don't worry, he has already made a decision, but he just agreed immediately without shame." Xiang Kang said confidently: "If what I expected is not bad, that Feng will have to bring things to our house tomorrow to make an apology. , kowtow to our aunt to apologize."

"Really?" Xiang Sheng was dubious, and said, "That Feng, is he just listening to you?"

Xiang Kang smiled, patted Xiang Sheng on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "I can assure you, because for Feng Zhong, we are barefoot, and he wears shoes. He is the only one who suffers when he fights with us. And we There are also two uncles with a bad reputation, he will not ignore the consequences of offending us in death."

According to the agreement, Xiang Kang and Xiang Sheng stayed outside the gate of Shiling Pavilion until midnight, and they didn't return to their home for the night until Xiang Han and Xiang Yang came to change shifts.When the sky was dark the next day, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You arranged according to Xiang Kang's arrangement, and were going to go out to replace Xiang Han and Xiang Yang. However, at this time, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You also questioned Xiang Kang. They asked together: "Xiang Kang, is this useful? Let's just stare there, can we really scare that Feng Zhong?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely work. It's not the first time I've used this method." Xiang Kang replied smoothly.

"Isn't it the first time for you to use it?" Xiang Zhuang heard Xiang Kang's language disorder, and hurriedly asked in a daze: "When did we do such a thing before?"

"Oops, confusing the times."

Xiang Kang, who accidentally made a slip of the tongue, complained in his heart, and was trying to find a way to prevaricate, but he never thought that his second aunt hurried in from the door, and said with a panicked look: "Zhuanger, Kanger, it's not good, the pavilion chief surnamed Feng is here. Yes, I brought several people with me."

Before the second aunt finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and the others, who were actually very nervous, jumped up one after another, and rushed out of the door with their swords in hand to check the situation. Even walking was a little staggering, Xiang Kang hurriedly supported her, and said gently: "Don't worry, Auntie, everything will be fine. With us here, that Feng will not dare to mess around."

He helped his second aunt out of the door, and when he went to the courtyard gate, Xiang Kang really saw Feng Zhong, who used to show off his might in front of his brothers, wearing dark clothes without a cape, and although he was wearing a sword, his expression was very different. It didn't appear to be anything sinister.And those who followed him were all Feng's family members without special marks, did not carry military weapons that can be legally used by soldiers, and also held two pieces of cloth and led a sheep.Xiang Han and Xiang Yang, who were waiting outside the gate of the pavilion in the middle of the night yesterday, also followed behind them, but they did not walk with them.

"Strange? Why doesn't it look like you're looking for trouble?"

Even the Xiang family brothers, who are generally muscular and simple-minded, quickly saw that Feng Zhong didn't seem to be coming with malicious intentions, and the result was not as the Xiang family brothers expected. Squeezing out some smiles, he cupped his hands to the Xiang family brothers and said, "Master Xiang, sorry to bother you, I am here to visit your aunt Xiang Yu (Aunt Xiang)."

Hearing this, the brothers of the Xiang family couldn't help but focus their eyes on Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang lived up to everyone's expectations, and immediately went out with his second aunt, and said with a smile to Feng Zhong: "Brother Feng is too polite. Yes, just come, what gifts do you need to bring?"

"It should be, it should be." Feng Zhongqiang smiled and said: "After all, my people disturbed Mrs. Xiang. Since I came to apologize, of course I should bring a little courtesy."

"Brother Feng is still being polite." Xiang Kang laughed, and then said to the second aunt whose face has not returned to normal: "Second aunt, Feng Tingchang is here to apologize to the third aunt and you, when he was on business the night before yesterday The slackness of the discipline staff frightened you and made the third aunt's condition worse. He was very worried when he heard about it, so he made an appointment with his nephew last night and came here today to apologize to you and the third aunt."

"Really..., is that so?"

The second aunt, who didn't know exactly what tricks the nephews were playing, couldn't believe it, but Feng Zhong over there got off the donkey, knelt down to the second aunt, and said respectfully: "Xiang Xiang, it is indeed That's it. Mr. Xiang Kang and I are of the same generation and your junior. We should be respectful and respectful in front of you, but the night before yesterday, I didn't do enough to restrain my subordinates, which frightened you, and there is another Mrs. Xiang. So today I came here specially to apologize, please forgive me."

After all, Feng Zhong really bowed to his second aunt, and the second aunt hurriedly helped her up, and Xiang Kang also smiled and said kindly: "Brother Feng, please come up, as long as you want it, please come inside, my third aunt is inside." Rest, I'm going to ask her to come out and meet you."

"Okay, brother Xiang Kang, quickly take me to see your third aunt, and let me kowtow to her face to face to make amends." Feng Zhong also unknowingly changed his address to Xiang Kang, and his smile became even more natural Many, at the invitation of Xiang Kang, stepped in, and the Xiang family brothers naturally followed closely.

Bearing in mind his wife's repeated instructions with tears in his eyes, Feng Zhong, who couldn't close his eyes last night, entered the room, and honestly kowtowed three times in front of Xiang Kang's third aunt, pleading guilty repeatedly.It turned out to be okay, Xiang Kang's two aunts were a little timid, but also reasonable, and they were satisfied when they saw Feng Zhongcheng sincerely pleading guilty, and they didn't go out of their way to embarrass Feng Zhong on purpose. Zhong, the third aunt who was taken out of the room by Xiang It and Xiang Sui still insisted on refusing to accept the greeting gift from Feng Zhong.Feng Zhong continued to keep his wife's advice in mind, and insisted: "Mrs. Xiang, these two pieces of cloth were woven by the wife of the younger generation. She was very worried when she heard that you were old and sick, and insisted that I bring them for you to harvest. In a day or two , she will come to visit you personally."

"Third aunt, this is Feng's sister-in-law's wish, you should accept it." Xiang Kang also persuaded: "If you don't accept it, Brother Feng and Feng's sister-in-law must feel even more sorry, worried that you are still blaming them, So you still accept it."

"Brother Xiang Kang is right. If you don't accept Mrs. Xiang, you are still blaming me as a junior, so please accept it, definitely accept it." Feng Zhong also nodded and bowed in agreement. After all, Xiang Kang's three Aunt accepted his gift.

After receiving the gift and then accepting the gift, the attitude of the two aunts towards Feng Zhong became much more cordial. In addition to inviting Feng Zhong to a seat, the second aunt also arranged meals to entertain Feng Zhong and his party, anxious to meet the Xiang family gang of desperadoes. The reconciled Feng Zhong dared to accept such a favor, and resolutely left on the pretext of something in the pavilion. The two aunts couldn't keep him and had to let him go. Xiang Kang volunteered to send Feng Zhong out of his house on behalf of the two aunts.

When saying goodbye outside the courtyard gate, Feng Zhong took Xiang Kang's hand of course, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiang Kang, can this matter be settled?"

"Of course." Xiang Kang smiled, patted Feng Zhong's hand, and said, "From now on, we will be brothers, and we will only talk about friendship and nothing else."

Feng Zhong, who kept his heart in his throat, heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked Xiang Kang for his kindness. Xiang Kang was perfunctory, and suddenly remembered something in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Feng, the day before yesterday How did you explain what happened at night to Wuyou in the village?"

"Wu Yougu?" Feng Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he brought people to arrest Xiang Bo, because he was worried that there would be insufficient manpower, he also invited Yougu from the village.Hesitating again, Feng Zhong said in a low voice: "Brother Xiang, don't worry, he will only come to me when he has something to do, and will not involve you."

"If there is anything you need to help, just ask." Xiang Kang made an empty favor, patted Feng Zhong's hand and said with a smile: "After all, we are brothers now, we will prosper together, and the other will suffer."

"Don't dare to be troublesome brother." Feng Zhong smiled wryly, and said casually: "It's okay, I have a good relationship with Wu Youyu, he probably won't do anything to me, it's the county..."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhong sighed and stopped on his own, shook his head and offered to leave again, Xiang Kang didn't want to keep him anymore, and bid farewell to Feng Zhong with a smile on his face, but kept calm in his heart, secretly said: "We still have to be careful about this. Feng Zhong, and the county he mentioned just now, it’s not very far from the county seat, so you have to be careful.”

After Feng Zhong led his disciples away, he returned to the courtyard and just closed the courtyard door. Of course, the excited Xiang family brothers immediately surrounded Xiang Kang heavily. You punched me and kicked me again, which surprised them again. Xiang Kang, who has nothing to say, praised him endlessly.Xiang Kang dodged with a smile, and said rather proudly: "What is this? This move against Feng Zhong is actually just a small plan. I have used this move to deal with people who are more difficult than him."

"Have you dealt with anyone who is more difficult than him? Who?" Xiang Zhuang asked curiously.

Xiang Kang smiled and said nothing, but he couldn't help thinking of a proud past in the 21st century - at that time, Xiang Kang had a friend's son who was about to take the college entrance examination, but he didn't know how to help a Pengci aunt who fell down while walking , the Pengci aunt insisted that it was her friend's son who knocked her down. Not only did she want to extort money, but she also went to the school gate to make trouble every day. As a result, her friend's son's studies were seriously affected, and it was useless for her friend to report the crime. Money avoids disaster.

At that time, Xiang Kang stepped forward in time. Although he didn't intervene in person because of his job status, he used his friend's special status as the chief doctor to ask his friend's interns to come forward one by one and follow the blackmailing auntie Pengci in turn. If you can't fight back, if you don't fight back, if you don't fight back, you just follow along, and within a few days, the majestic Pengci aunt lost her momentum. Not only did she no longer dare to pester her innocent friend and son, she even danced in the square very quickly. I haven't dared to dance for a long time...
