Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 10 Retaliation
It was getting brighter, and the Xiang family children who had slept on the floor at Uncle Xiang's house together got up one after another, Xiang Kang was also woken up by Xiang Ta who was sleeping next to him, and before Xiang Kang finished yawning, the second son who got up to cook The aunt hurried in from the door and said in a low voice: "Zhuang Er, go and have a look, there are still people guarding outside the yard, they seem to be diners who often eat at Feng Zhong's house."

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurried out to check the situation, while Xiang Kang stretched his waist and said to his second aunt: "Auntie, it's all right, there was such a big commotion last night, there is no one outside the yard today. It's strange to stare. Don't worry, they don't dare to mess around without evidence."

The second aunt nodded indiscriminately, but her face was still sad, obviously still worried that the matter would not be settled.As a result, at this time, Uncle Xiang's second son, Xiang You, also hurried out of the inner room and said, "Second Aunt, quickly check what's wrong with my mother, she seems to have a fever."

The second aunt panicked when she heard this, and hurried into the inner room to check the situation of the third aunt. Asked: "Third Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm a little dizzy, and my body is shaking badly." The third aunt replied with a groan, and then asked in a low voice: "Kang'er, has your Uncle Ji gone far?"

"It must have gone far away, otherwise, Feng Zhong and Wu Youkuo must have come to arrest people and confront them." Xiang Kang analyzed, asked the second aunt again, and learned that the forehead of the third aunt was really hot, so he hurriedly told Xiang You Said: "Brother, hurry up, let's go to the medical worker together, the third aunt must have been really scared and fell ill by what happened last night."

Xiang You agreed, and hurriedly went out with Xiang Kang to find a doctor to treat his mother. A few Xiang family children wanted to follow up, but Xiang Kang stopped him and said, "No, I can go with Xiang You. You stay here and watch." Third Aunt. Remember, no matter how others ask, they will always say that they don’t know. If Feng Zhong and that Youjiao want to arrest someone, they must first show the evidence, and I will talk about the rest when I come back.”

Although he is relatively young among the Xiang family's children, Xiang Kang has unknowingly established a certain prestige among the Xiang family's children after what happened in the past few days, so not only did the Xiang family's children not object, they all nodded in agreement. .Xiang Kang asked Xiang You to take another piece of silk from Mr. Yu, and then went out with Xiang You to find a doctor.

Sure enough, there were a few diners who often ate at Feng Zhong's house outside the door. When they saw Xiang Kang and Xiang You going out, someone immediately followed them. Xiang You just went straight to the medical clinic located in Jishang all the way, and under the supervision of Feng Zhong's eyeliner, he asked the disease doctor to treat his aunt.

Cloth in this era can be directly used as currency, and the silk sent by Yu Gong is even more valuable, so after seeing the silk and satin offered by Xiang You with both hands, even if they knew that something happened to Xiang's family last night, the medical workers in the hospital still Immediately put on the medicine bag and followed Xiang Kang and Xiang You to Xiang's house for a consultation.The result was not as Xiang Kang expected, because she was sick from overwork all year round, and she was frightened last night, and the third aunt really fell ill and was not seriously ill. Fortunately, she was discovered in time, and her life should not be in danger.

After the prescription was finished, when the second aunt was busy making medicine for the third aunt, there was another noise outside the door, and Xiang Kang hurriedly went out to check the situation, only to find out that it was the two brothers Xiang Guan and Xiang Han who were dissatisfied with Feng Zhong's housekeepers He has been monitoring outside the courtyard, had a dispute with them outside the courtyard, and almost got into a fight.Xiang Kang knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly went out and grabbed Xiang Zhuang, who was already on the hilt of his sword, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't be fooled, doing it at this time is to give Feng Zhong a reason to arrest you for questioning. "

"Then what do these sons of bitches keep guarding here?" Xiang Guan pointed to the doormen who were in charge of monitoring his house and asked, "They follow them as soon as they go out, do you want us to live?"

Glancing at those Feng Zhongmen with malicious faces, Xiang Kang said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with them, but don't fight them. If I guess correctly, Feng Zhong should be Let these servants he usually raises deliberately provoke us to do it, so that we have committed the crime of private fighting, and Feng Zhong has a reason to arrest us and ask for confessions."

In the Qin Dynasty, fighting privately with the law was not a light crime. Xiang Guan usually saw unlucky people who were arrested and imprisoned for fighting and hurting others. Xiang Han dragged back to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door. Feng Zhong's servants laughed loudly behind him, intending to provoke the Xiang family's children, but Xiang Kang turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.

Of course, the matter would not end like this. At noon, the fever of the third aunt who had taken the medicine had just subsided, and Feng Zhong's deputy, Qiu Pi, came to the Xiang family brothers with two pavilion soldiers. The deed for the two bolts of silk directly stated that if the Xiang family brothers could not explain the origin of the two bolts of silk, they would arrest them.

Indeed, there is a Qin law that stipulates that the purchase and sale of goods must be evidenced by a bond. Without a bond, the government has reason to suspect that your things are from illegal sources.Therefore, Xiang Kang has no choice but to hold back the furious Xiang Zhuang and the others, explain the origin of the silk and satin to the beggar in a slow voice, and promise that if Duke Yu does not admit that the silk and satin were gifts from him, he will be willing to accept the crime .

"That's what you said. This official will send someone to Yan Jiting to investigate immediately. If Yu Gong says there is no such thing, don't blame this official for questioning him."

Throwing down these words with a smirk, Qiu Bandit led the two pavilion soldiers away in a grandiose manner.Then naturally, as soon as they left, the irritable Xiang Guan, Xiang Han and others scolded their mother, Xiang Zhuang also frowned and said to Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, this is not the way to go, Feng Zhong That son of a bitch has made it clear that he wants to punish us, if we continue to suffer like this, the surname Feng will only make more progress and find ways to bully us."

"Of course not." Xiang Kang replied: "If my guess is correct, even if Feng Zhong finds out that the two pieces of silk and satin were indeed given to us by the Yu family, he will not settle this matter, but will only find another way to arrest us." They forced us to explain the whereabouts of the third uncle. Maybe they will plot against our female relatives of the Xiang family and find an excuse to arrest our aunt for questioning."

"Then what should we do?" Xiang Zhuang asked quickly.

"Don't worry, I have already figured out a way to deal with that Feng Zhong, but today my third aunt suddenly fell ill and needs our care, so I don't want to do it right away." Xiang Kang replied with a smile, and said: "As long as you listen to my arrangement, Do it according to my method. I can guarantee that it won't take long, Feng Zhong will have to stop obediently, maybe he will come to the door to apologize and apologize to my aunt and our brothers."

"What method?" Xiang Guan who was next to him hurriedly asked, and then said, "Should we pull out that Feng Zhong and beat him up?"

"Don't be silly. If you can fight, I'll fight today. I still have to wait for you to do it?" Xiang Zhuang scolded, and then asked Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, what can you do? Tell me, as long as it works, we will follow your arrangement." .”

"Guaranteed to work." Xiang Kang replied confidently, and said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, our brothers will be divided into two groups, and all the time..."

…………

Not to mention, in order to obtain evidence that the Xiang family brothers committed crimes, after asking about the source of the two silks and satins, Feng Zhong really sent people to the Yanji Pavilion bordering Shiling Pavilion on the same day, and found the current Yu family. Patriarch Yu Jian asked if this really happened.Although Yu Jian admitted that the two pieces of silk and satin were indeed given to the Xiang family brothers by himself, and did not cause any new trouble for the Xiang family brothers, Yu Zhi, who had been displeased with the Xiang family brothers, sneered again and again, and said to his father: "How about you?" You have the face to say that you will give our Yu family an opportunity to help our Yu family solve their troubles. In just over a day, a small pavilion leader has bullied them, so why don't you dare to fart?"

"Look at those poor kids." Yu Jian also sighed, and said, "Let's see how those poor kids solve this problem. Fortunately, we didn't take out too many things. Even if you are cheated by those poor kids, you can still treat it as a beggar, so you don't need to be too distressed."

"A pig, a sheep, and three chickens are not enough? There are more than a dozen jars of good wine. These things are thrown away for nothing. My father doesn't feel sorry for me!" This is the comment made by Yu Jian, the beautiful little daughter of Yu Jian, after knowing the situation. , and his impression of Xiang Kang, who took the lead in eating and drinking, was even worse.

…………

Let’s take a look at the situation at the side of Feng Zhong, the head of Shiling Pavilion. It was exactly as Xiang Kang expected. Although it was found out that day that the two expensive silks and satins were indeed gifts from the Yu family to the brothers of the Xiang family, they were arrested because they failed. Feng Zhong, who was complaining to his colleague Wu Youkuo, still refused to give up, and slapped on the case of the pavilion and roared: "This matter is endless! We must find a way to get hold of those poor children, and force them to confess to Uncle Xiang for the murderer. The whereabouts of the offender."

"Head of the pavilion, why don't you find an excuse to arrest their two aunts and ask them?" The thief said treacherously: "Those poor children are smelly and hard stones in the latrine. It's really not good." Deal with it, but their aunts are women, so they must be much less timid, as long as they can ask something from their mouths, it will be much easier to deal with those poor children."

"Good idea." As soon as Feng Zhong applauded, he immediately ordered the thief: "Starting tomorrow, you will lead people to keep a close eye on their two aunts. As long as you find an excuse, you will immediately arrest them for questioning."

The thief agreed and patted his chest to promise to complete the task, but Feng Zhong's mood did not improve much, and he still said to himself in his heart: "You have to hurry up and make a contribution to the crime of those poor children, otherwise If you don’t, I’m afraid I will keep my position as the head of the pavilion. The new county magistrate, but he didn’t like me from the beginning.”

According to the book, the reason why Feng Zhong, the head of Shiling Pavilion, targeted the children of the Xiang family so much was that apart from his duty to arrest Xiang Bo, who had murdered and fled, another important reason was that he was unlucky this year, and made two mistakes in succession when he was running errands. , As a result, the newly appointed Xiaxiang county magistrate was very dissatisfied with his performance, and had already released a message to remove him and replace him with another person as the head of Shiling Pavilion.Feng Zhong was naturally worried when he heard the news. In addition to trying his best to flatter his boss, he also wanted to make contributions quickly to keep his position, so he cared so much about this opportunity.However, although Feng Zhong's abacus was well done, what he never expected was...

The accident appeared suddenly in the early morning of the next day. After sleeping soundly all night with his not-too-ugly wife in his arms, the next morning, when Feng Zhong was still eating breakfast, a soldier from the pavilion came to report suddenly, saying Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You, the sons of the Xiang family, didn't know what medicine they had taken wrongly. They ran to the gate of the pavilion early in the morning to guard, squatted by the gate of the pavilion to play Liubo, and asked them what they were doing without answering. , not to drive away.

"Is there such a thing? What do they want to do?"

Feng Zhong was surprised when he heard this, so he hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and went out, and went outside the pavilion door to check the situation. Sure enough, Xiang Zhuang, who is currently recognized as the best skill among the Xiang family's children, and Xiang Bo's second son Xiang You, really squatting by the door of the pavilion, playing Liubo, which is similar to military chess.Feng Zhong was puzzled, so he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"No eyes? Didn't you see us playing chess?" Xiang Zhuang raised his head and asked very bluntly, looking at Feng Zhong with a fierce look in his eyes.

"This is the gate of the pavilion! The place where thieves are caught and locked up, who allows you to play chess here?" Feng Zhong asked.

"Dare to ask the official, which law stipulates that chess is not allowed next to the gate of the pavilion?" Xiang You asked eccentrically, "Is it blocking your way? Or is it preventing you from shutting down and catching thieves?"

"This……."

Feng Zhong was at a loss for words, and really couldn't think of anything to refute Xiang You for a while.As a result, at this moment, Xiang Zhuang suddenly pressed the hilt of the sword in his waist, and with a clang, the sword came out of its sheath, and his eyes were fixed on Feng Zhong even more fiercely, just like a fierce tiger and beast staring at a sheep!Feng Zhong, who had heard about Xiang Zhuang's skills, was shocked, subconsciously took a step back, and while helping the sword hilt at his waist, he asked in a fearful voice, "You..., what do you want to do?"

"Cutting nails." Xiang Zhuang replied with a sneer. While actually using the sword to cut the nail of his left thumb, he squinted his eyes and asked Feng Zhong, "Mr. Feng Ting, why are you so afraid? It's just nail cutting, not you. head!"
