Di Dongqing saw the saber on the man’s waist from a distance, and couldn’t help being startled.
Most of what I saw and heard along the way was about the government oppressing the people. Relying on the protection of the military ban, the officials acted recklessly and acted recklessly, causing many misfortunes.However, most of the incidents that the yamen’s servants show up are difficult to end well.
The funeral is still going on in this yard, and the companion of the deceased is still mourning. It would be too unfortunate if another accident happened at this moment.
Therefore, when he saw the man’s attire, he instinctively became vigilant, fearing that the man would make trouble again and make things worse.
However, he soon discovered that things were different this time.
The yacha didn’t act domineering or utter wild words, but just stood alone in the middle of the courtyard.
On the contrary, it was the three people he was facing, the last three of Zhao Qiansun and Li Zhong, who were wearing plain white shrouds, were surrounding him, staring at him angrily.
The yacha’s complexion turned blue, he was silent, and seemed a little cowering.
However, Qian Sunli was not polite to him, and criticized loudly: “You officials who have done so many evil things, aren’t you afraid of evil ghosts chasing your souls?!”
Hearing the word “evil ghost”, Yacha’s shoulders shook, his shoulder blades shrunk even tighter, and the fish-pattern brocade robe on his body was squeezed out into two bulges.He took a step back, as if avoiding the saliva of the person opposite, taking this opportunity, Di Dongqing finally saw his face clearly.
His head was drooping, his lips were bloodless, and his face was blue.
This person’s fear is not feigned, but the result of being really frightened. If he is left alone, this person may faint in public.
Thinking of this, the doctor’s instinct gained the upper hand, Di Dongqing no longer hesitated, pushed open the courtyard door, walked forward, and stopped in front of the yamen’s servant.
“Wait a minute, everyone.”
Qian Sunli was stunned, his eyes glanced at the unexpected visitor in turn, and he said displeasedly, “Who are you?”
Di Dongqing was startled, and quickly said in a deep voice: “I’m a doctor passing by, this little brother has a bad complexion, he was really shocked, please don’t embarrass him anymore, and speak up if you have something to say.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low gasp from behind. He turned his head and found that the Yacha’s fists were tightly clenched, his eyes were narrowed into two slits, and there was cold sweat on his head.
He leaned over, embraced the other person’s shoulders, took one hand, pinched two fingers on the tiger’s mouth and pressed it, and said in his mouth: “Don’t be afraid, relax, and take a long breath.”
The Yacha did as he said, and after a while, the blood on his face finally recovered.
He also took the opportunity to see the other person’s face clearly.The Yacha still looks very young, with a childish look in his eyebrows and eyes, thinking that he has just taken office not long ago, so it’s no wonder he hasn’t caught up with the bad habits of other colleagues.
In this way, his prejudice was completely dispelled, and he asked softly: “Little brother, are you afraid of ghosts?”
The Yacha’s movements froze, and he quickly withdrew his hand, took a step back, stumbled, and said, “Many, thank you.”
Di Dongqing thought to herself, probably because she was really afraid of ghosts, she even stuttered when she spoke.
A yamen servant with a golden knife was frightened into such a state by an unfounded ghost, he was really embarrassed.
Qian Sunli obviously thought so too, but instead of sympathizing with him, he rebuked him with his eyes double.
Among the three of Qian, Sun and Li, two are taller and one is shorter.The short one had the hottest temper, turned his anger towards Di Dongqing, and shouted: “You quack doctor, are you also a lackey of the government? The master is a coward, so you let the lackey out to bite people?”
Lu Zhengqiu’s voice sounded from beside him: “Everyone misunderstood, my apprentice is just helping someone to see a disease, and he has absolutely no intention of offending you. He has a very good temper, even if he is barked in front of a vicious dog, he will not Move your mouth casually.”
The dwarf was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Lu Zhengqiu was speaking in defense of that “quack doctor”, while he himself was called a vicious dog by oblique words, and suffered from being dumb.
He let out a hum from his nose, crossed his arms and stopped making a sound.
The tall and thin man next to him was much more friendly than the short man, he bowed his hands and said, “Since the two of you are not his helpers, what’s the point of coming to our goods store?”
Lu Zhengqiu also changed his tone of respect, and said: “Actually, we are looking for business. We were on our way and wanted to find a carriage to save our legs. Unfortunately, there are horses but no carriages in the post station, so we want to come to your bank to ask. .”
The tall and thin man sighed, and said: “Look, our elder brother had an accident on his way, and he is gone, and we don’t plan to continue this small business. There is only one carriage left in the yard, and it is still carrying the last batch of The cargo hasn’t been unloaded yet, so I can’t really help you. Please go ahead, both of you.”
Lu Zhengqiu glanced at the corner, there was indeed a carriage parked there, and the carriage was filled with colorful satin, colorful and bright, which did not match the shrouds worn by the three of them.
Colored satin is one of Wuxi’s special products. Many people in Wuxi are skilled craftsmen. They can pick various flowers and leaves from the mountains and use the pulp as a dye. The dyed cloth is bright in color and lasts for a long time.
Di Dongqing also recognized the goods on the car, and silently gave Master a wink.
Lu Zhengqiu understood, and said: “The colorful satins on everyone’s cars are all produced in Wuxi. It looks like a good product, and it’s priceless.”
The tall and thin man was taken aback, he didn’t expect to meet a person who knew the goods in this countryside.
Lu Zhengqiu continued: “To tell you the truth, we are also businessmen, and we also went to Wuxi to sell goods before. Alas, I didn’t expect a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers to be destroyed like this. It’s a pity.”
The tall and thin man nodded and agreed, “Isn’t it?”
Seeing that the anger on his face had disappeared, Lu Zhengqiu asked: “I don’t know what happened to you all on the road, and why you clashed with this little brother, can you tell us about it?”
The tall and thin man was silent for a while, nodded and said: “Okay, since there are guests present, I will tell you what happened along the way.” After finishing speaking, he turned to the Yacha and said, “Don’t you want to listen, let’s listen together Come on, hurry up and leave after listening, and don’t trouble our brothers anymore.”
The tall and thin man is named Qian Yijiang, the short-tempered one is Sun Sheng, and the other tall and fat colleague is named Li Shun.
The three of them and the deceased Zhao Ji were sworn brothers, and together they founded the Minmin Escort Bureau, which was later renamed Minminhuohang, and survived by transporting goods from various places.
However, the income from transporting goods for others is too meager. A few months ago, when the weather just turned cold, the four brothers decided to do a big job. Using their own money as the principal, they bought a batch of valuable goods and pulled them to Jiang Yu resold them in the city to make a fortune.
They took out their savings for many years, selected Wuxi Village as their target, and set off to the Baling area excitedly.
When the chariots and horses arrived at Wuxi, the village was still peaceful. The four of them picked up cloth locally, bargained for prices, stayed for several days, bought a batch of high-quality colored satin, and left happily.Unexpectedly, not long after they set off, bad news spread to their ears – there was a murder in Wuxi village, and the whole village was slaughtered.
They didn’t know the cause and effect, they just wanted to return early to avoid accidents, but things backfired, the carriages and horses walked halfway, and found that there was an extra checkpoint on the official road, and their carriages and horses were also stopped by the soldiers who checked the customs.
The soldiers said that all vehicles and horses coming from the direction of Wuxizhai must be interrogated regardless of people and goods.
Let’s do an interrogation – they are doing a small business, they have nothing to do with the tragedy, and they haven’t hidden anything shady, so they are not afraid of interrogation.
So they parked the car at the crossing, let the officers and soldiers get on the car, turned the cargo inside out, and found nothing strange.
After the interrogation, an officer asked Zhao Ji to go to the barracks to sign the pledge.
It didn’t matter that Zhao Ji went this time, when he came out of the barracks, his face turned livid, and he even quarreled with the officer in public.
It turned out that the officer planned to seize their colored satin, saying that it was evidence involved in the case, and it must be turned over and confiscated, and not a single piece could be left behind.
