I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 280 Sima Tao Gets Beaten

In the early morning, Wang Ge and a group of county officials and craftsmen took a bullock cart to try the plow on the wasteland in the outskirts of the county. Last night, he agreed with Zhu Ying not to follow.The departure time is quite early, but there are already caravans stopping on the street, and there are many clamors for trading goods under the thatch, including pottery, straw woven products, felt products, and animal skin and bone ornaments.

Only a few fixed shops were open, and a young man who threw water on the road without a wink was caught and severely reprimanded by the county magistrate.It was this chaotic atmosphere that made Wang Ge gradually feel like he was blending into Pingzhou.

Xiangping County has a concentration of self-sellers in the southeast and northwest. The ox cart Wang Ge was riding in was the simplest firewood cart. When he was passing through Nanshi, he understood why Master Zhang told her yesterday.All the children who sold themselves were basically under ten years old, and some of them carried younger brothers and sisters on their backs. The expectation and pain on everyone's faces reminded Wang Ge of himself carrying a tiger's head to pull wild vegetables, When picking up dung, she often went to Shoushipo and Yeshanhe, and she also had the idea of ​​meeting noble people by chance, hoping to exchange strange stones for some good things.

What would have happened to her and Hutou if she hadn't met Zhang Fuzi and Huan Zhen, and had missed the opportunity to be admitted as a craftsman boy?

The fine and warm morning sun is gradually scorching hot.

Just after noon, Zhu Ying came out of the east gate of the county office. This north-south street is the shop, and the shade of the trees is full of people enjoying the shade.A caravan selling pigs was very noisy, occupying a position facing the gate of the mansion, Zhu Ying went over and reprimanded: "No noise is allowed outside the gate of the mansion, isn't there an open space over there? Stay away!"

The steward of the caravan muttered: "We were not kicked out at the gate of Dongyi Mansion."

Zhu Yingquan pretended not to hear, and after the other party left, she sat under the shadow of a tree, picked up a grass root beside the tree and chewed, always feeling the smell of dung, half-absent, half-hesitant to spit it out, she got used to it.

An hour later, the county officials who were trying the plow came back. Wang Ge saw Zhu Ying just now, said something to the county officials, and came over and asked, "Is sister Zhu waiting for me?"

"Ah."

Wang Ge didn't ask the other party if he thought he would be back soon, or if he didn't want to stay in the official house.She said: "There is nothing to do in the afternoon, I want to walk around."

"Ah."

"Sister, do you know where there is a store that sells old grain?"

Zhu Ying frowned: "The government does not allow merchants to sell old grain, and it is also a felony for ordinary people to sell or buy privately."

"That's it." Wang Ge understood that he should not think about Chen Liang's matter in the future, as there must be many damages or benefits involved.In fact, this morning she felt that the county official was slow in doing things. The place where the plow was tested was in the outskirts of the county. After a few rounds with the ox plow, wouldn't the benefits of the Quyuan plow be obvious?But it took until noon.

Could it be that Zhu Ying knew that the county magistrate was slack in doing things, so she calculated the time period for her return?

Under a thatch cover, there was a seller of horse gear, as well as bronze war horse ornaments and horse jewelry. Zhu Ying asked the price, and Wang Ge followed her to learn more. At the same time, an obscene voice shouted in her heart: They are all antiques, genuine antique!Buy a few, buy a few!Then bury it in a hidden place, what if you die in this life and reincarnate with your memories?
Just when Wang Ge also started to pick out the bronze utensils, a stick was quietly protruding towards her back.

Zhu Ying stood up with her palms on the end of the stick as if she had eyes on the back of her head.The man stretching out the wooden stick is riding on a horse. He is about thirteen years old. He wears green banana shoes and a black silk scarf on his head.

"Take care of your weapons." Seeing that the other party was young, Zhu Ying only warned.

The young man leaned forward a little and smiled at Wang Ge. "Carpenter Wang doesn't remember me?"

Wang Ge shook his head: "I don't remember." Dead Sima Tao, why is he so weak, I really met this fellow!What about Liu Qing?It happened that Sima Tao's horse took a step back, and she saw that Liu Qing was under the thatched shed on the opposite side.

"Craftsman Wang is not telling the truth, are you looking for Liu Qing?" Sima Tao smiled brightly.

When Wang Ge approached Zhu Ying, he had to confess his cowardice.What's more, one or two sentences can't explain it clearly, the appearance of this Zhuzi is too deceiving, the smile is clean, and a dirty and sinister heart is hidden.

But Sima Tao didn't let her go, and asked earnestly as if he was acquainted: "Separated from Huan Zhen and the others? You guys are quick, Liu Qing and I are chasing after you, but we are still behind you."

Wang Ge stared at the ground.

"Meet an old acquaintance in another land, Wang Ge, you really don't plan to recognize each other? By the way, your family lives in Weiting, right? It's not easy. After working hard on the land, what you grow is not as good as what you eat, and you can still raise such a indivual……"

Wang Ge raised his head, his tone neither humble nor overbearing: "Do you know why you and Mr. Liu can't catch up with us?"

Sima Tao smiled.

"Because you didn't learn how to climb the slope. You couldn't climb it at the beginning, and you couldn't catch up step by step."

"You are very brave."

"Bigger than Briar Hill."

"Heh, there is a sky beyond the slope, people will meet again. Master Wang, we will meet again." Sima Tao lifted the rein, and the moment the horse's hooves just kicked up, he seemed to be pulling back the long stick, but in fact the trajectory was just right. Swing to Wang Ge's neck.

Zhu Ying, who was always on the sidelines, blocked with an iron arm, twisted her wrist, and grabbed the end of the stick.

then……

boom!
boom!
Wang Ge really didn't see how Sima Tao flew out and bumped into Liu Qing, who was about ten feet away, because the change was too fast, Zhu Ying's movements were like a strong wind blowing rotten leaves, too crisp and neat!The two teenagers rolled into a ball, and after both screamed, Wang Ge realized that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.

Zhuying... so fierce? !
The stick was still in Zhu Ying's hands, she strode to the opposite side, the people in Bian County liked to watch street fights most, and they all gathered around the best position to watch and applaud.

Liu Qing pushed Sima Tao away in pain, what's going on?
"Huh!" Poor Zhu Ying deliberately brushed his shoulder again, curled up in pain and moaned.

The steward of the caravan who drove here to sell the piglets kept wiping away his sweat. Fortunately, he was obedient when the girl taught him.

"Cough..." Sima Tao couldn't get up for a while, his back seemed to be broken, and he looked at Zhu Ying in fear. This girl is not a passerby, but is with Wang Ge! "Why, do it? Cough, ah..." It hurts too much.

Zhu Ying threw the wooden stick into Sima Tao's face: "I warn you again, keep your weapons in check. Let's go."

Wang Ge hastily said, "Because she is not good at speaking." After catching up with Zhu Ying, Wang Ge told the names of Sima Tao and Liu Qing, both from Kuaiji County, just like her.Let's briefly mention that in Xuancheng County, the officials arrested several scoundrels, and those scoundrels confessed that they were ordered by Sima Tao, but the scoundrels' words were not enough to prove Sima Tao's guilt, Liu Qing had nothing to do with the scoundrels.

Zhu Ying found out when Wang Ge first searched for Liu Qing. "Xiao Lang, surnamed Liu, wants to watch the excitement, so he suffers together."

"Sima Tao can't be offended by people like us. Don't worry," Wang Ge whispered, "I still have an identity. I'm a Silitu soldier. If he dares to falsely accuse us, I'll sue him."

"You..." Zhu Ying gestured to a secluded place, and whispered: "Many officials hate Si Li Tu Bing, so don't tell others."

"Yes."

Zhu Ying felt quite warm in her heart. She didn't expect Wang Ge to reveal the secrets of Si Litu soldiers. She understood what Wang Ge meant and said, "I know what they are hurting for a few days at most, without internal injuries."

When she noticed that Sima Tao's footwear was made of banana kudzu, Zhu Ying knew that the other party had a special status. Banana kudzu was more expensive than silk, and merchants who could afford it were not qualified to wear them, and ordinary officials were very concerned about the image of incorruptibility.However, Sima Tao had just arrived in Bianjun, and he was dressed so ostentatiously, which showed a lack of confidence.

However, no matter how desolate the royal family was, they would not allow Zhu Ying to be beaten violently in the street. What's more, the people who witnessed the fight at that time all testified that Sima Tao did not commit any beatings.
