The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Zhu Manizi felt the edge of the blade dragging around his neck, the cold sharpness made him frightened, even though he had always been aggressive, his legs were trembling at this moment and his face was sweating profusely.

"Su...Su Jin...how dare you!" Zhu Manizi trembled.

"The person who told you to put down all the knives and back away, otherwise you will see if the young master dares to cut a knife on your dog's neck." Su Jin shouted.

"You have something to say, Mr. Su, don't be impulsive, why are you all standing still? Back off, put down your knives, do you want to kill me?" Zhu Manizi shouted, waving his arms.

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Xiao Hu who had just squeezed in; Xiao Hu frowned, thought for a moment and said to Su Jin: "Mr. Su, do you know what you are doing? Do you know who we are?" ? Have you considered the consequences of doing so?"

Su Jin sneered and said, "Master, I don't have the time to think about who you are. I only know that you are here to kill us. Your lives are almost gone. Do I care who you are? Even if you are the king of heaven The people sent here came to kill me for no reason, maybe I will fight to the death."

Xiao Hu sneered, pointed his thumb and said: "What a bachelor, I never thought that a scholar would be as domineering as a bachelor, but have you considered that if I don't care about it, I will definitely kill you, you So what? Do you think you can blackmail me if you catch someone?"

Zhu Laizi was shocked and said: "Little Hu, you bastard, you don't care about my life. When I get out of trouble, you will be my favorite."

Little Hu scolded: "Idiot, I even told him my name, how can this matter be good? What are you doing with your face covered? A person like you deserves to die."

Zhu Manizi roared angrily: "You bastard, I knew you had no good intentions and stabbed Grandpa in the back, so I'll wait for you."

Little Hu Yin said with a sullen face, "We'll talk about it if you survive." After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the black-clothed ruffians beside him, "Give it to me, and cut them into pieces."

Everyone raised their knives and went up, Su Jin pressed the blade on Zhu Manizi's neck hard, and Zhu Manizi yelled like killing a pig: "Niu Er, Gou Lao San, Chen Mazi, you just watch brother, I was killed!" Did this treacherous villain kill you? He can disregard my life and death, but can he control your life and death in the future? You don't care about the brother who treats you well on weekdays, but also because of the friendship between us who went through life and death, Today I saved my elder brother's life, and he will repay it with springs."

Xiao Hu didn't wait for Zhu Manizi to finish speaking, grabbed a steel knife and rushed up, but suddenly he found that only a few people around him followed up, and the rest of the dozen or so hooligans who were still able to fight stood up. Stay where you are.

Xiao Hu forcibly stopped his figure, so he didn't plunge into the attack range of Su Jin and others, and shouted angrily: "Are you rebelling? Why don't you go to me? Otherwise, I will cut you off."

A man in black stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "Guard Hu, although I haven't read a book, I know the truth of never selling out friends for glory. I, Niu Er, and Guan Shi are a deadly friendship. You As soon as the boy came, he flattered Shan Xiang, and we didn't say anything when he was in the position of steward, but you have to take this opportunity to get rid of steward Zhu, so I'm sorry for not serving you. Although the character of the petite is not good , eat, drink, piao, gamble, kill, set fire and do everything, but they haven't done anything to harm their own brothers."

Others also echoed: "Brother Niu is right, this time I will follow Guanshi Zhu to handle matters, and if I can't do it, I'll just go back and be punished by Lord Qi. I don't want to hurt my family's life."

The little beard jumped into a rage and cursed: "I cut you off, Lord Qi will not spare you."

Everyone was unmoved, no one paid attention to him, Xiao Hu only had a few cronies here, although they shouted loudly, they didn't dare to make a real move.

Su Jin looked at his words, and at this moment, he was sure that this was not an act, and he was thinking about it, so he might as well go down the slope and eliminate this matter invisible, otherwise, even if they can be forced to retreat today, they will cause endless troubles in the future Su Jin has long understood that this world cannot be changed by himself at present, and there is a limit to fighting injustices, and he can handle them when encountering them, and many tragedies in the world that cannot be seen can only be seen for nothing.

Turning his eyes, he turned his attention, and whispered in Zhu Manizi's ear: "Master Zhu, your brother is going to kill you, you really are not doing well."

Zhu Manizi said angrily: "When is this dog's surname Hu my brother? In my eyes, he is just a mangy dog."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "It seems that Manager Zhu has a really good personality, and his brothers are quite protective of you; but do you know how I will deal with you?"

Zhu Laizi took a soft breath and said, "Young Master Su, I'm blind and shouldn't provoke you. If you let me go, I promise I won't disturb you again."

Su Jin spat on his face and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old boy? Just let you go after a few words? But then again, it's not impossible to let you go. After all, I don't have a deep hatred with you. This time If it wasn't for you, you would be your gangster and I would read my book. We would never know each other for the rest of our lives, but you should never have come here to harass my brother and sister-in-law. You said I saw this. Can you leave it alone?"

Zhu Laizi was stunned and said: "The old Jiang and his wife are your brother and sister-in-law? How come I have charged his family for dishes for three years, and I haven't seen you come out to speak?"

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Well... it's from a distant house... Cousin, you must have inquired about my background. I am in Luzhou, how can I come to talk to you? Besides, you should collect the dish fee properly , My brother-in-law's shop can also be taken care of, right? There's nothing to worry about, it's just money, and you can't talk about it, but you're so poisonous when you start, you broke two of my brother's ribs, The internal organs were also seriously injured, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, I would have lost my life, you said that if I don't stand up and teach you, am I still human?"

Zhu Manizi blinked his eyes for a long time and didn't catch his breath. This kid actually didn't complain about charging the plate fee at all. He only came forward to speak out because of his vicious actions. This made Zhu Manizi feel comfortable being understood. They are ignorant and always think that paying the plate fee is defrauding them. If the hooligans in the Northeast and West three cities dare to make trouble, why don't the men come forward and do it for you?It's still this little official who understands the truth and speaks everything in people's hearts.

Zhu Laizi said apologetically, "Young Master Su is right, we should treat the people kindly, and we shouldn't fight violently, almost killed someone, no wonder the petty officials are annoyed."

Su Jin nodded and said: "Forget that you understand quickly, kindness makes money. Naturally, you have to be kind when you ask for money. If you fight like that, you won't get a word, but you will get a bad reputation. Why bother; you are so brave." Ruthless fights may not be all-powerful, just like at this moment, if you fall into my hands, I just need to pull your hands like this, and you will become a pile of stinky meat, why are you jumping around? Didn’t the wife at home run away with someone? , the child doesn’t call other people father, isn’t the good friend taking advantage of others? What did you end up with? You’re so fucking stupid.”

Zhu Manzi was so brainwashed by Su Jin that he almost wanted to slap his own mouth. What Mr. Su said is indeed reasonable. Although he couldn't swallow his breath after being fed a mouth full of cow dung, but if he didn't beat him up Cousin, if you talk nonsense about that little girl, she won't be like that; I'm still stupid to come to revenge, this is a good thing, my life is in her hands, and if she kills me, it's like killing an ant. This is stupid.

For the first time in his life, Zhu Manizi felt remorse, looked at Su Jin helplessly, and was speechless.

Seeing that the two of them were murmuring, Xiao Hu didn't know what they were talking about, and it was useless for him to stay here, so he stomped his feet and took his cronies back to file a complaint.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Look, that master seems to want to kill you. I don't want to be a knife in other people's hands, so I decided to let you go."

Zhu Manizi almost knelt down to call his father, his heart was extremely excited, the feeling of escaping from death made people feel mixed feelings, so excited that he burst into tears.

"Thank you Mr. Su for not killing me. I, Mr. Zhu Mang, assure you that I will never disturb your elder brother and sister-in-law. Your elder brother and sister-in-law are my elder brother and sister-in-law. I will bear all the expenses for the extended medical treatment."

Su Jin nodded and whispered in his ear: "This is not enough, you need to make a written statement here, and write down the whole process of this matter, including who killed the dead man next door. You must write it all down and hand it over to I keep it, so that I believe you will not come to trouble me, because if you dare to make trouble again, I will hand over this document to the government, and you will inevitably be beheaded by a knife, so I can rest assured. "

Zhu Mangzi's expression was changing. In this way, his family's wealth and fate would be handed over to Su Jin. If it falls into the hands of the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, it won't work at all, Tang Mansion will definitely suppress this matter, and if he refuses to admit it to death, what can he do with himself?

Zhu Laizi gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed: "Young Master Su, don't let my brothers know about this, otherwise there will be too many people talking about it, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't reach the ears of my seventh master, and it will hurt me; It doesn't matter, you have to promise not to leak it, if it is leaked to the government, then I, Zhu Manzi, will ignore it, and I will fight you to the death."

Su Jin sighed and said, "Master, why did I bother to come here? Wouldn't it be clean to kill you with a knife? Anyway, if you break into a private house at night, you deserve to be slaughtered. I have no sin, so why bother talking to you here."

Seeing that his words were not good, Zhu Manizi's heart trembled, and he was about to speak, but he heard Su Jin say: "Okay, I promise you, I don't want to get blood on my hands, and besides, your brother Hu wants me to kill you, his I despise his character, so I will not let him do what he wants."

Zhu Laizi gritted his teeth and said, "The one surnamed Hu is not my brother at all. When I go back this time, I will look for him first."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Yes, with this kind of backstabber by your side, sooner or later you won't even know how you died. Come on, come and write a note with me."

After finishing speaking, he drove the steel knife, led Wang Chao and others into the hall, and closed the door; the man in black outside was at a loss, and saw Guanshi Zhu whispering to this Mr. Su for a long time, and then he fought hard. The life-and-death person is actually talking and laughing now, it's really a big joke in the world, just as he was wondering, the hall door opened, and Zhu Laizi strode out, and that Mr. Su waved his hands away with a smile on his face, which made all the ruffians feel even more... Surprised.

"Staff Zhu, go slowly, come and drink tea when you have time!!" Su Jin laughed.

"If you don't see him off, Mr. Su will stop, and we will come to disturb you later." Zhu Laizi clasped his fists in return, waved his hand and ordered the injured to be helped up, picked up the scattered knives, and walked cleanly in an instant.
