The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

(Thanks to An Tantan and Liuyu Bahuang for their rewards!)

The little Hu was going crazy, he lowered his voice and pointed to the courtyard next door: "Idiot, that's Su Jin's house over there, where did you idiot make trouble?"

Zhu Manizi also scolded fiercely: "You son of a bitch, your people didn't tell you the exact location, so I made an oolong for you."

Little Hu said with a green face: "Zhu Manzi, I will definitely report this matter to Seventh Master. I told you clearly, the third house from the left in the alley, you damn blind and blame me."

Zhu Laizi said: "Don't use Master Qi to suppress you, Lord Zhu. Now I don't have the time to argue with you. I'll argue with you after I get that son of a rabbit."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and led everyone out of the yard, heading towards Su Jin's yard next door.

Su Jin didn't go to bed until the second shift of reading. Over the past few days, because of worry, he didn't close his eyes much at night. Today, Yan Biyun called three companions with strong martial arts skills to follow Su Jin back. Su Jin let go of some of his worries. Even Xiao Zhuzi was eight strong men, and when a dozen or twenty ruffians came to him, they would be able to deal with the situation, so he slept soundly this time.

In a daze, he was awakened by the murmured voice in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, calling him hastily.

"What's wrong?" Su Jin asked as he got up.

"My lord, Zhao Hu said that there is movement next door, it seems that a strong man has broken into the house, and told us to wake you up quickly, lest it will hurt us." Xiao Sui'er hurriedly said.

Thinking about it in Su Jin's mind, he suddenly felt inexplicable danger. Two old couples and two old servants lived next door. Burglary What do they do?I'm afraid there is no reason.

Su Jin came to the outer room in a hurry, and saw that Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others had closed the hall door and were looking out from the windows on both sides. Seeing Su Jin coming, everyone rushed forward to surround him.

Su Jin buttoned his gown and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Hu said: "My lord, I was watching the night in the courtyard, and I heard the noise next door, and the lanterns and torches were shining brightly, so I secretly climbed to the top of the tree and looked at the next door. It's amazing, there are thirty or forty people masked in black People are next door, looking at this posture, the old man and his wife next door probably lost their lives."

Su Jin frowned and said, "Three or forty people? Do you need so many people to deal with an elderly couple? I'm afraid they are here for us."

Wang Chao said: "My lord, you mean that those bastards came to our house to seek revenge?"

Just as Su Jin was about to answer, the courtyard door was knocked open with a bang, and everyone hurriedly looked out the window, only to see a group of masked men in black swarming into the courtyard with shining steel knives in their hands.

Everyone was shocked, the young master's judgment was very accurate, this group of people came for his own house; Wang Chao whispered: "Master, what should we do?"

Su Jin hurriedly said to Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang: "You two quickly take the cook and Mrs. Jiang to the backyard, look for a chance to escape, and then go directly to East Street and Fenglou to find Yan Dong's family. She will arrange for you."

Xiao Sui'er said, "What about you?"

Su Jin said: "My lord, I want to meet them."

Xiao Sui'er anxiously said: "How can it be done? There are Dynasty Mahan, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others here, and the young master will go with us."

Su Jin said: "How can I leave? This thing is coming for me. If I slap my ass and run away, the next step is to flee back to Luzhou overnight. Can I still raise my head and speak in front of people? I was scared by the local ruffians Fuck the shit, I'm going to carry this stain my whole life."

"If you don't leave, then we won't leave either." Xiao Sui'er said urgently.

Su Jin glared and shouted: "Stupid girl, if you are still talking about it at this time, you will get angry if you talk too much."

Huanniang stepped forward to pull Xiao Sui'er and left, saying: "Master, you are right. We are distracted here, and we can't help you. You are a man, so how can you leave as you please? The situation is really serious. Unfavorable, with the skills of Brother Dynasty and the others, it is still easy to get out."

Xiao Sui'er had no choice but to turn around and tell: "My lord, be careful." Then she said to Wang Chao and the others: "Brothers, please protect your lord, don't let the thieves hurt him."

Everyone nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry, the young master can't miss a hair."

Only then did Xiao Sui'er follow Huan Niang to drag her old and sick with all sorts of turmoil in her heart.

The front yard was already brightly illuminated by lanterns and torches, including the three of Xiao Hu, a total of forty black-clothed men crowded around the main entrance, Zhu Manizi shouted: "Break down this bird gate, and catch that thief boy for me." Come to the yard, grandpa wants to treat him to eat dung."

Everyone rushed up and kicked the gate of the main hall. Fortunately, when Zheng Daguan's ancestor built this house, his family was considered brilliant, and the two gates were made of real hardwood. open.

Zhu Manizi was furious, and no longer worried about alarming others, he shouted straight up: "You son of a thief, open the door for grandpa and stay in the house like a bastard? If you don't open the door again, grandpa will set you on fire." This bird house will burn you all into coke."

One end said, and the other ordered his subordinates to carry a large pile of dead branches and dry grass in the yard to the door; Xiao Hu hurried forward and said: "Zhu mangy, do you know why I want to follow you? Seventh Master asked me to watch you, I teach you not to make an earth-shattering disturbance; this place is very close to the south city gate, your loud voice may reach the ears of the guards at the gate, not to mention setting fire to it, if it really gets out of hand, give Qi Ye You can't afford to make a big mistake."

After Zhu Manizi heard this, he didn't dare to make mistakes, he spread his hands and scolded: "Then what do you think? These turtles just don't show their heads, so why don't they just wait?"

Little Hu said: "Ask people to go to the room, take off the tiles and smash them down, and then slip down with a rope. If they don't come out, can't they rush in?"

Zhu Laizi raised his thumb and said, "It's still dangerous for you as a bastard. You led a dozen people to the roof from the wall, took off the tiles and rushed in."

A dozen or so men in black agreed, and climbed up the tree on the wall separately, preparing to climb up to the roof; at this moment, they heard a creak, and the two heavy doors in the main hall suddenly opened, and a bunch of ruffians around the door were frightened. With a jump, he quickly covered his head and face with a knife, and jumped back.

Hearing a whoosh, a huge black thing flew out from the door, and the people in front of them couldn't dodge in time and were knocked down in a large area. With the sound of 'Kerala', the thing was torn apart, sawdust flying, Everyone looked at it by the light of the fire, and it turned out to be a huge table. Presumably, when the people inside opened the door, they were afraid that people from outside would rush in, so they threw the table out first to clear the place.

Zhu Manizi's ankle was hit by a jumping piece of wood, he grinned in pain, and cursed, "Come on, let me go in."

The hooligans shouted, and rushed in with simple knives. Just as they rushed up the steps, several big men rushed out of the door, punched and kicked them down immediately, and the rest of them were blocked, and they took a few steps back with their knives in hand. Going up is neither retreating nor retreating. Seven or eight big men stepped out of the door, arranged in a horoscope on the steps, staring aggressively at the dozens of hooligans in front of them, without saying a word.

Zhu Manizi pointed at them with the knife in his hand and shouted: "Where is the rabbit master surnamed Su? Why don't I get out of here."

"What's the matter with you, my lord? But I'm hungry, so why don't you come to beg for cow dung and mule dung?" As soon as the words fell, a white figure Shi Shiran walked out of the door with a smile on his face and a bag in his hand. take the fan,

"It's you who is a bitch, who humiliated me that day, and today I will cut you into pieces." Zhu Manizi scolded through gritted teeth.

Xiao Hu frowned, and said to himself: "You idiot, this will expose your identity. What's the use of covering your face? It seems that you can't keep alive today."

"When the road is injustice, someone will shovel it. You stupid pig bullies the common people. You are only worthy of eating shit. The young master is just doing justice for the sky. You have met the young master. If you meet a more powerful person, your dog head may not be safe. It's gone." Su Jin said with a smile.

"Su Jin, do you know who you are fighting against?" Zhu Manzi's eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"I don't care who you are, the great Song Dynasty, the bright and prosperous age, you gang of snakes and rats are so rampant, I can't pretend I didn't see it when I saw it."

"It's crazy to meddle in grandpa's business even if you're so poor. I know all about you. I can only blame you for being overwhelmed. You don't want to see tomorrow's sun, grandpas." It is here to end you."

Su Jin looked up at the sky and said, "There is no moon or star tonight, and it will be cloudy and rainy tomorrow. Naturally, we won't be able to see the sun. I need you to remind me? As for the details of the young master? So what if you know? My family background Innocent, but there is no shameful act of murder, arson, and oppression of the people."

Zhu Manizi quarreled with Su Jin, and Su Jin could throw him dozens of miles away, so it was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Zhu Manizi understood it quickly, and immediately stopped talking, and waved his hand: "There is someone who is playing tricks!" Birds are waiting to eat shit."

While waving their hands, three or forty people approached slowly holding steel knives, Zhu Manzi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Give it to me, no one will be left alive!"

Su Jin shrank back, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Xiao Zhuzi and Yan Biyun's three companions stepped forward, blocking the steps like a wall.
