Chapter 15 Lai Tongyu (I)

At this time, snow rain fell over Jishui County.

In the early morning, there was an open space in the camp. He Zhong was wearing a short suit, holding a long knife, jumping and tumbling, and continued to practice hard.

In the open space, two people came to watch and watched.

After He Zhong practiced the sword technique more than ten times, he realized their arrival.

"Bench, Liangzi, when will you come here?" He Zhong put the long knife on the weapon stand beside him, took a dry towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked over and asked.

"I just arrived and saw you practicing knife, so I didn't call you." The bench said.

"Brother He, your skills are much more sensitive than before. It seems that I need to practice more." Ryoko said ashamed.

Seeing He Zhong's efforts to improve his own strength, Ryoko felt very guilty.

"Don't call me Brother He, call me Huo Chang... Alas, the army does not pay attention to human nature. Now we brothers will go to the battlefield in the future, so we must practice!" At this point, He Zhong was covered with a shadow. Hu Zi, a partner who grew up together, was killed on the spot because of his violation of military law and was suspended for three days, which shocked these people.

Hate or fear is really hard to say.

"Ryoko, if you have time, please discuss with He Wu. I found that although their kung fu is a bit complicated, it is very suitable for fighting on the battlefield. I went back and asked them privately whether they were willing to teach us a set of superficial and practical kung fu. If you feel embarrassed, then forget it." He Zhong patted Liangzi's shoulder and said, "Also, Laoying and they all have their own skills. Have a good relationship with them and learn more."

"I understand, brother." Liangzi responded, but refused to change his name.

"Brother He, today is the sixth day of the lunar month. The first group of people who returned have already returned. I wonder when you are going to go home?" Bantang suddenly asked.

Thinking of the past two days, several brothers had reminded him, he said, "Two days later, after we report our work, we will go home directly. When do you plan to return home?"

"I won't go back this year. In a few days, my parents will come back." The bench said, and was puzzled when they saw both of them, and said again: "The county wants to build a medical officer. I think it's an opportunity, so I told my parents."

"In a few days, my parents are going to come here to take a look. If the conditions promised by Mr. Xue have not changed, my parents will move here."

Medical officials are divided into four levels: apprenticeship, single doctor, adult doctor, superior doctor, and the same rank as officials. This condition is very attractive.

"My Huichuntang is not doing well in the countryside. My parents have taken several little boys from the village as apprentices. The economy is very tight, but there is no way. They are all villagers and relatives who can't afford to raise their children. If they don't accept them as apprentices, would they watch them starve to death? But the burden is really heavy. This time I have the opportunity, I will move here together... If I succeed, I might have transferred from the army to the medical officer's yamen." said the bench.

"Go to the medical officer, okay!" He Zhong wanted to continue asking about the bench's recent situation, but when he said that, he swallowed it back. He felt that the bench was hiding from him.

Hu Zi was killed, which shocked his partner a lot. Some people continued to follow He Zhong, while others avoided him.

After all, being sad is sad, but most ordinary people do not want to continue fighting against power.

The bench is better, and the other few friends will never come.

"Where are you?" He Zhong looked at Liangzi and said, "You didn't go back last time. This time you have to go home and let your parents see what you look like now."

"Brother, of course, I am the sergeant now!" Liangzi nodded and said.

Hongze Mansion

After hundreds of miles, the rain and snow stopped here, but it was still dark.

In a hotel, there is a lantern hanging in front of the door, which reads: Shijia, a century-old shop.

At this time, it was night, and the hotel lighted the lights and brought hot water to wash the guests' feet and faces. The guy was busy. Wang Shoutian lived in the room and was sent to serve him.

"Young master, supper is here." A guy came over with a food box.

I cleaned up the table and brought it up.

There are not many dishes, a plate of diced cubes, a plate of fried bean sprouts, a plate of shredded green peppers, a plate of carp, a bowl of chicken soup, a steamed bun, rice, and a pot of wine. After only a few bites, Wang Shoutian couldn't help but say with praise: "Okay, the old brand store is indeed an old store, and the taste is really great!"

The guy helped the food. After hearing this, he said, "Young Master Mingjian, if you don't have some real skills, how could you open such a long time? A small shop will be gone in three or five years. If there are ten or eight years, my store has been passed down for five generations. It depends on real skills and the support of the customers!"

When I was about to eat, the door opened and I came in.

This guy was smart. When he saw this, he said to Wang Shoutian: "Young Master, use it first. Just give instructions on what you want!"

After saying that, I went out with the used water.

"Lord, the man has found out."

"Sit down and eat together. You haven't had dinner yet. Ask the soldiers outside to have dinner by themselves. You can accompany me to eat. We still have something to do after we finish eating."

"Yes, lord." When there were no outsiders, Ganhou called him lord. Seeing his lord's order, he followed him for a while. He knew Wang Shoutian's personality and did not refuse at the moment. He sat for dinner, picked up the big steamed bun and bit it.

But even so, the dishes were rarely moved, and only Wang Shoutian had eaten them before he could take a few bites.

"Lord, Lai Tongyu wrote a document at Qianji Store, we found it."

"How is the situation?"

"Qianji Trading Company is a time-honored business. Lai Tongyu is a third-class document and receives one or two or three coins of silver every month. This money is enough in the countryside and lives in the city tightly. His address is also found, right in Dongsha Port, which is easy to find."

"Well, you did a good job." Wang Shoutian speeded up his meal. Even so, after dinner, it was already dark.

At this time, another bright moon gradually rose, and through the sparse shadows of trees outside the courtyard, the soft moonlight as soft as a veil was shining down.

Wang Shoutian was wearing a robe and said, "Let's go, don't wait for the night to stop the trouble."

In ancient times, it was usually banned at night at 10 o'clock, and there would be patrols or even troops, and Wang Shoutian did not want to encounter any trouble.

"Lord, do you want to bring a few more people?"

"No need, they have been busy for a day and let them rest. Besides, are we afraid of danger when we go to meet a scholar?" Wang Shoutian said, "Also, there are outsiders when we go out, call me young master."

"Yes, young master!" Wang Shoutian went out, and there were noisy people on the street outside, and sometimes there were cheers. He saw people fighting on the street and making tricks. Wang Shoutian glanced at it and continued to move forward.

I didn't have much time, but I arrived in front of a house, but I shouted.

A group of people were clamoring in the yard for some reason. Wang Shoutian frowned and said, "Look at what's going on?"

"Young master, I'll go and have a look first." Gan Hou agreed and just went in, he saw several people pulling a middle-aged man, and just shoving him, and then he fell to the ground. He was not let go. A strong man lifted him up, and he had two mouths on his face, which made him beat him with blood.

"Is it Lai Tongyu?" Wang Shoutian shouted.

"Young master, it's him!"

At this moment, the strong man smiled grimly and said, "You owe me three hundred taels of silver, and you still dare to hide from debts. You must beat you to death today!"

"If you don't die, sell your wife!" Another person behind him was noisy.

"Forcing someone to sell your wife, who are you? Isn't it too cruel?" At this time, a voice came from behind.

"Viral?" The strong sweat grinned, turned around and hit him without saying a word.

"Don't kill it." Wang Shoutian said.

Ganhou responded and went forward to beat him. He heard the "crackling" sounds endlessly. As soon as he got up, the five or six men were knocked to the ground. Ganhou started very hard, and there were sometimes broken bones and screams.

"You dare to hit me. Do you know who my master is?" The strong man screamed and shouted unwillingly.

"Kick out!" Seeing Gan Hou kicking these people out, Wang Shoutian then went downstairs and said, reaching out to help the person who fell on the ground. At this time, a woman rushed out of the room and cried: "Husband."

"It's okay, come in and talk. Please come in, benefactor." However, this man was calm and wiped his nose bleeding.

When they got inside, there were lights, and both of them were lit up.

Lai Tongyu's eyes lit up, and she saw Wang Shoutian wearing a blue shirt, with a handsome face, but her eyes were dark, and she looked bright when she spoke, so she naturally had majesty, and there were personal soldiers behind her.

Lai Tongyu knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person.

Wang Shoutian looked up. The woman beside Lai Tongyu seemed to be twenty-five or six years old. She was old in ancient times. Although she wore a coarse cloth dress, she could not hide the charm of a young woman. She followed her two children, one man and one woman, both of whom were about seven or eight years old, timidly pulling the corner of her mother's clothes.

This woman has such a beautiful beauty, no wonder someone wants him to sell his wife.

"This benefactor, this young master, thank you for your rescue." As soon as Lai Tongyu spoke, Wang Shoutian waved his hand: "Mr. Lai, I won't say much extra words. This time I'm here to come for you."

"I am the captain of Guoyi, Wenyang Town, and the head of Jishui County. I lack personnel. I want to invite you to go there and become a civil servant first, and then promote me if I make contributions."

Lai Tongyu didn't say a word at first, glanced at home, then wiped his nose bleeding, and said, "Don't you want to ask what happened just now?"

"What else can I ask about this? Whether it is Mr. Lai owes money, they cheated gambling, or Mr. Lai offended people, what does this have to do with us? If you go with me, what kind of backstage they are, it doesn't matter. You won't chase Wenyang Town to collect debts, right?"

"If there are grievances and reluctance in it, it will not be too late to deal with them when you become an official."

As soon as this episode came out, Lai Tongyu nodded and bowed: "Master!"

"Well, tonight, you will pack up your things, bring only soft and clothes, and don't bring anything else. You will leave the city with us tomorrow morning to save some trouble." Wang Shoutian said, taking out two ingots: "I don't have much silver on my body, so I will use it first, and then add it when I go back."
