When Liao Dazhuang was young, he had a nickname, "Liao Bold".
He dares to catch thieves that others dare not catch. He dared to do things that others didn't dare to do. It can be regarded as a dare to fight and work hard, and has done a lot of practical things for Wayao Town.
Only then did he get the position of pavilion chief.
These are of course the resumes summarized by Dong Bingrong, the lord of Tiannan City, and they prove that he is not nepotistic.
At this moment, Liao Dazhuang walked into the town hall and bowed politely. Hou Yuanwei, the governor of Baolong County who was sitting in the lower position, had already asked aloud: "Why are there so much noise and crying outside! Who are there?" "
To be able to make the dignified county guard so frustrated shows that the wait just now was extremely painful!
Liao Dazhuang lowered his head and answered honestly.
Among the people he brought with him were Zhang Cuihua, Chu Yao's mother and son, Zhang Cuihua's old father, brother and sister-in-law, Zhang Cuihua's younger brother Zhang Hong who had just been taken out of prison, Zhang Hong's mother-in-law Du Shi, and the Du family members. Her natal brothers... and even the gambling shop owner who made Zhang Hong lose everything, his nephew Liao Guo from Liao Dazhuang.
"That is to say, no one related to the current situation of Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao was left out. They were all summoned in such a short period of time." Hou Yuanwei said indifferently: "It can be seen that you, Liao Dazhuang, are a A capable official!"
Liao Dazhuang's knees became weak at that time, and he fell to his knees: "This official is incompetent, incompetent!"
Dong Bingrong came up and kicked him: "If you are incompetent, wouldn't I be blind and let you be the chief of the pavilion?"
After all, he saved his strength and didn't dare to kick anyone to death.
Liao Dazhuang rolled around on the ground, got up and continued to kneel down. He didn't say a word, but just knocked his head on the ground.
Hou Yuanwei was too lazy to look at the two of them, turned his face and said casually: "Master Hou, look..."
"Let them come in first," said the man sitting at the top.
The voice was young and very gentle.
But Liao Dazhuang, whose forehead was pressed against the cold floor tiles, felt colder than his forehead at this moment.
How come he still can't guess the identity of this big shot until now?
How many young princes can there be in the Daqi Empire?
How could such a towering figure be related to Wayao Town and the orphan and widowed mother? ?
At this moment, he felt like the world was spinning, and many sounds were inaudible.
…
The big shot who came from the imperial capital overnight made a statement. How could Dong Bingrong, the lord of Tiannan City, not know how to do things. Without waiting for instructions from the county guard, he actively walked out of the town hall and shouted: "Let them in!"
No one is stupid.
At least among the city guards who could be brought to Wayao Town by Dong Bingrong, there could not be any fools.
Although Dong Bingrong did not say a superfluous word, the attitude of the city guard soldiers was obviously different when they sent these people into the town hall.
Prisoners like Zhang Hong who had not yet removed their shackles, and gambling shop owners like Liao Guo who had some respect in the town were dragged in like dogs to death.
As for the ordinary Zhang Cuihua and the dark and thin Chu Yao, they said "This way please" and "Watch your steps" on the right. Their attitude was as good as the waiter in the inn, and he could not wait to carry them in relay.
But their attitude is obviously still thinking too little.
Because when Zhang Cuihua, who looked gray and haggard, walked into the town hall, the world-famous military lord took the initiative to leave his seat and came out first!
"Sister Cuihua!"
Although he had some expectations in his heart, when he heard this sound in his ears and saw this person in his eyes, Zhang Cuihua was still stunned on the spot.
She would never have imagined it.
A big shot who has reached the top of the empire and is looked up to by everyone, actually still remembers a casual promise he made back then. He actually came to Wayao Town in person with the dignity of a prince with an area of 3,000 households. He actually calls her eldest sister!
Even the benevolent characters in the story, who cherish the old friendship in their hearts, just send a subordinate to deal with it, or give someone a message to take care of them.
And this person in front of me.
He is already above the billions of people in the world, and he should be like a dragon or a phoenix, walking in the nine heavens, but does he still remember that she and Chu Yao are like gray stones, broken soil, decaying grass and dust?
It should be noted that even her own closest relatives would not recognize her anymore!
"Sister Cuihua?"
Jiang Wang called softly again and said with a smile: "Why, we haven't seen each other for a few years and you don't recognize me anymore? Do you need to introduce yourself again?"
He cleared his throat, cupped his hands as he did when they first met, and said politely: "Excuse me... are you a member of Chu's studious family?"
It was the same person and the same problem a few years ago.
At that time, this noble man was scolded by Zhu Zhu who worked with him.
Zhang Cuihua was in a daze for a moment, holding Chu Yao's hand tightly: "Yes... yes, we are."
When Chu Mi left, Chu Yao was less than two years old.
Chu Yao was only seven years old the year Chu Mi died in the Mysterious Realm.
He is nine years old this year.
He had a pair of slender eyes like his father, and he looked at the man in front of him timidly and cunningly.
Chu Yao is very scared these days.
Because he was kicked out of the house by his grandfather, he and his mother moved to a dilapidated hut. Can't stop the wind, can't stop the rain. His mother said that studying would become a problem, but he was not afraid of this. After studying, I found that studying was more difficult than picking up tiles, and my husband always liked to slap his palms. If it weren't for the fact that his mother's beating hurt more than his husband's, he wouldn't have wanted to read it!
Only my aunt always brings people over to make trouble, and they make ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong noises every day, which is very scary. I even beat him up a few times.
But when he thought about his father, who was a great hero, he didn't cry.
He accompanied his mother every day holding a small awl that his mother used to make shoes.
When his aunt came to scold someone, he would scold her back. He is very good at scolding, and he especially knows how to imitate the grandma Sun from the village entrance, telling her why she can’t lay an egg, giving birth to a son without an asshole, and why my mother is lying on the bed...
When his aunt wanted to beat someone, he would yell to call the police.
It was his first time to visit the town hall of Wayao Town. It was so big and impressive.
He was actually very nervous.
He had never seen so many soldiers.
And all of them were wearing armor and holding knives and guns.
His uncle, who had a bad temper, was also kneeling, and so was his aunt. My aunt's fierce brothers were all kneeling on the ground with their heads hanging down. Even the pavilion chief, who had previously been so majestic and arresting people everywhere, was now kneeling with his buttocks stuck out and he didn't dare to raise his head.
And he and his mother were both standing.
He is still young and does not quite understand the meaning of dignity. But I felt a lot of security in my heart.
All this is because of the man in front of me.
This young, good-looking, majestic man with a friendly smile.
who is he?
"I'm your dad's best friend."
Jiang Wang smiled at Chu Yao, and then said to Zhang Cuihua: "I told eldest sister at the beginning that no matter what grievances eldest sister and Chu Yao suffered, they would just come to me. Has eldest sister forgotten? Or do you not regard Jiang Wang as a friend?"
Dong Bingrong, who was standing nearby, looked at the gray mother and son with a complicated expression. Among all the people in this hall and town, including the county governor, who dares to treat Marquis Wu'an as a friend?
Who deserves it?
At this time, he had the intention to kill Liao Dazhuang, and he even wanted to give himself a few slaps. There is a true god under his control, but he doesn’t know how to worship. This should be a blessing, but instead it brings disaster!
Because she has been working in a brick kiln, Zhang Cuihua's skin is very bad, her face is chapped, and she looks much older than her real age, but her eyes are very clean.
She said seriously to the big shot from the imperial capital in front of her: "We haven't reached the end of our rope yet. These are all trivial matters now! I can still work, and I can still afford to raise my son."
Her voice lowered: "I don't dare to use the opportunity that my man has worked so hard to earn."
If Jiang Wang went to Wayao Town to see Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao, Shang was just a boy from Qingyang Town, and he came with the news of Chu Xiuxue's death. It is reasonable for Zhang Cuihua to feel uncertain about the future.
But later he won the title of Yellow River and became famous throughout the country. He was also granted the title of Marquis for his military exploits, which was known to the whole world. However, Zhang Cuihua never asked Chu Yao to come and seek refuge. She must have had her thoughts in mind.
This is a very determined woman, otherwise she would not have waited for Chu Mi for so many years.
Jiang Wang was very willing to respect her thoughts, so it was not until this situation that he came again.
"I regard Chu as a studious brother. His wife and children have been wronged and bullied. This is not a small matter." He said, looking at Hou Yuanwei, the governor of Baolong County who had already gotten up and was waiting aside, and said in his voice Not serious: "This is a slap in my face."
But every word is like a heavy hammer!
Hou Yuanwei broke out in cold sweat immediately.
thump!
Dong Bingrong knelt down and even cracked the floor tiles with his knees: "The good people under our rule have been bullied by others. As the lord of Tiannan City, I am the first to blame! Please send me your head temporarily. I will definitely do it." Give me an explanation on this matter!”
As for Liao Dazhuang, who was known for his "boldness", he couldn't hold back even if he knocked down. He suddenly collapsed and fainted!
"Master Hou, Master Hou!"
Zhang Hong knelt on the ground and trembled.
Zhang Hong's mother-in-law, Du Shi, didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly shouted: "There is a misunderstanding here. We are all Chu's studious family members. We are also our own people. I even cooked for him!"
Jiang Wang frowned obviously.
Hou Yuanwei immediately took a step forward and pointed his halberd at the person: "Ignorant village woman, what kind of character are you? How dare you stalk a noble man! Come on, cut her tongue with me!"
The soldiers on the left and right immediately drew their swords and stepped forward!
Du Shi turned pale with fright and covered her mouth in horror.
Jiang Wang just raised his hand and stopped Hou Yuanwei's active performance.
"I already know the right and wrong. I don't need to listen to their sophistry, and I don't care if they can tell their difficulties or reasons." He looked at Chu Yao, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Here."
Zhang Cuihua released her son's hand and sent him forward.
Chu Yao felt a little uneasy and boldly stretched out his hand.
Then he was caught.
His thin, dark hand was held by that slender and strong hand.
He felt that the hand holding his was warm and powerful. It seemed like he could be taken to any place in the world.
He no longer remembers what his father looks like.
But those little friends who lost the fight were led by their father to come over crying. Is this how it feels?
Jiang Wang held Chu Yao's hand and said to Zhang Cuihua: "Sister Cuihua, you have the final say on how to deal with these people today. If you have a grudge to seek revenge, if you have a grudge to retaliate, no matter what grievance you have suffered, you don't have to endure it anymore..."
He smiled: "Just think of it as helping me to regain my face."
"Is it okay?" Zhang Cuihua asked.
Jiang Wang raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The entire hall was silent, and no one dared to say a single word.
Zhang Cuihua seemed to understand the weight of that "Master".
She turned around and walked slowly for a few steps to her old father who was still kneeling on the ground. Looking at these overwhelmed old people, she tried hard to keep her voice calm: "You were seriously ill in bed back then. At that time, your two sons and two daughters-in-law were waiting for you to die...it was me."
She tapped her heart: "It was this daughter who you beat out with a hoe. She took out the money that Yao'er used to study and treated you! You scolded me a lot, but I didn't reply to you. You beat me a lot. , I won’t pay you back. You drive Yao’er away too... Dad, you will have no daughter in the future!”
After saying this, she turned and left without looking at the old man's expression.
She walked up to her brother.
This timid and cowardly man had tears falling down one by one and his face was twisted together.
Zhang Cuihua raised his hand and he shrank suddenly.
After all, Zhang Cuihua did not lower her paw, but just pointed at his nose: "Brother, it's useless for me to call you big brother, and it's useless for me to call you uncle! You can't control your wife, your little brother, and you can't control your father either. , you don’t care about your sister.”
She gritted her teeth and her voice was almost squeezed between her teeth: "You act like a good guy in everything, but you are always a coward!"
After scolding her, she stopped her hands bitterly.
She directly ignored the sister-in-law who smiled awkwardly at her and walked to the side.
He walked up to his younger brother Zhang Hong, who was still in chains.
After spending several days in the cell, he was particularly pitiful at this time. Looking up at her biological sister, Nono opened her mouth: "Sister..."
Snapped!
Zhang Cuihua slapped him cleanly and said through gritted teeth, "That's the money for my son's education!"
Zhang Cuihua, who often works in the tile kiln, does as much work as men in burning and moving tiles. Both hands were covered with calluses, already as rough as bricks. With this slap, Zhang Hong lost one of his teeth!
But Zhang Cuihua held his face back and slapped him again!
"That's money for my son's education!"
Help him back again, slap him again!
“That’s the money for my son’s education!!”
After being slapped three times like this, Zhang Hong's face was covered in blood and several front teeth were missing.
Zhang Cuihua did not look at him, but turned to look at his sister-in-law Du.
Du was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she did not dare to cry out for fear that the soldier next to her would cut her tongue.
Zhang Cuihua didn't hesitate, stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped him.
Accompanied by crisp slaps, she shouted forcefully: "My man is not a wimp!"
A slap with the forehand and a slap with the backhand.
"My man doesn't want us two anymore!"
Snapped!
"My man is a good man!"
Snapped!
"Chu Yao has an father, and his father is Chu Haoxue!"
Snapped!
After a few slaps like this, Du immediately fell to the ground, and Zhang Cuihua herself gasped hard.
After breathing for a while, she retracted her hand and turned around.
"No more?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhang Cuihua thought for a while, then pointed at the kneeling gambling shop owner Liao Guodao: "This person often engages in gambling traps, acts as a banker, spreads horse money, and presses debts at high interest rates. He has harmed countless people! If this kind of person does not If you are punished, Wayao Town will never have peace!"
"How do you want to punish him?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhang Cuihua shook his head: "I am a country woman, I don't know the rules of Qi, and I don't know how to punish me. I'd better let the officials handle it."
Jiang Wang said calmly: "I told you, you can punish him however you want."
Zhang Cuihua only said: "Master Hou took pity on us orphans and widowed mothers and made decisions for us. But I don't understand anything, how dare I delay Master Hou's reputation?"
Jiang Wang asked again: "Is there any more?"
"Anyone who makes a mistake should be punished," he stressed.
Including the pavilion chief, the city lord, and the county guard, he all supports Zhang Cuihua's accountability today.
But Zhang Cuihua just shook his head: "I am short-sighted and cannot understand the affairs of the officials. I don't know what is right and what is wrong. If they make mistakes, they will be dealt with by the marquis and punished by the law. I Those slaps were just for the injustice I suffered and for the fright my son suffered."
Jiang Wang sighed: "Although eldest sister has never practiced cultivation, her level is higher than many people... I am still used to you calling me eldest brother."
"There is order between superiority and inferiority." Zhang Cuihua said: "You can be approachable, but I can't be arrogant. No matter how much my late husband has done, you can pay it off by making this trip in person tonight. From now on, we are the only ones who owe you. "
"How can we still clear it up?" Jiang Wang's eyes were complicated at this moment. He patted the back of Chu Yao's head: "I plan to accept this child as my apprentice. I wonder if eldest sister agrees?"
Zhang Cuihua was surprised and happy, and quickly said to Chu Yao: "Kowtow to your master quickly!"
Chu Yao was smart, so he turned over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Jiang Wang.
The child didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he knocked very hard, making a loud bang on the floor tiles, and said: "Master!"
Jiang Wang only received this knock and picked him up.
Hou Yuanwei said at the side: "Wu'an Marquis accepts a disciple, this is a big event! It is a great joy for me in Baolong County! Wayao Town has accumulated many years of virtue and has just raised a dragon! Please allow me to arrange it in the county. I would like to invite guests from all over the world to witness it, so that I can express my congratulations!"
This kind of effort in organizing a funeral is worthy of being a county guard.
Dong Bingrong, who was kneeling beside him and had not yet stood up, looked at him with both surprise and admiration.
But Jiang Wang just waved his hand: "We don't pay attention to those. The master-disciple relationship comes from getting along with each other from now on, and it does not include these rituals."
He also specifically pointed at Liao Guo, Liao Dazhuang and others, and said to Hou Yuanwei: "Master Hou remembers to deal with this person and these people. Whatever the law is, so will it be."
Hou Yuanwei immediately patted his chest and pledged: "We will act impartially after we find out clearly. We will never make arbitrary decisions or indulge in anything frivolous!"
"I am willing to pledge my head as a guarantee!" Dong Bingrong spoke decisively from the side.
I don’t know how many heads he has, but he keeps them here and there every day.
Fortunately, Jiang Wang had no intention of embarrassing them. He just touched Chu Yao's head, rubbed away the bruises on his forehead, and asked slowly: "Go to Linzi with Master, okay?"
Chu Yao ignored the magic of Taoism and turned to look at his mother.
Jiang Wang also looked over: "Sister, let's go together too. Chu Yao is still young and should not be separated from his mother."
His mother died when he was very young. His aunt didn't treat him badly, but she wasn't that kind.
He and An An's loneliness is a fact that cannot be changed.
He didn't want Chu Yao to have the same mood as his childhood.
Although spiritual practice is a long and lonely journey, there are some regrets that cannot be made up for no matter how long one practices.
"Master Marquis's great kindness, we mother and son really don't know how to repay it." Zhang Cuihua said, kneeling down and saluting: "Please accept my bow!"
Jiang Wang immediately supported her: "Chu Haoxue is my good friend and Chu Yao is my apprentice. Then we are a family. From now on, we can treat each other as siblings. Sister, don't be so out of touch with others."
"Is there anything to pack?" he asked again.
Zhang Cuihua shook his head: "There is nothing left at home."
Jiang Wang raised his hand to gather a cloud of air and lifted Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao up together. Without leaving any words to Wayao Town, he flew out of the town hall and turned straight to Linzi.
To many people in Wayao Town, this is nothing more than another legend of flying immortals.
Perhaps a few years later, there were also rumors like this - "There was a famous Chu Hao scholar in Wayao Town who sought immortality and visited Taoism. He did not return for seven years... When he returned, his family would be promoted."
…
Both Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao were flying for the first time, so they were inevitably nervous.
Jiang Wang then said some things to ease their mood.
"There's actually nothing special about Linzi, it's just very big."
"What is the concept of a radius of three hundred and twenty miles? Even with your short legs, you can't run around the city wall for three days and three nights."
"There are many people in Linzi. When there are more people, there will be more fools. The bad people are very bad, and the good people are also very good."
"Hahaha, there are good people in Wu'anhou's mansion!"
"Back when you were studying in Linzi, study hard and don't bully others. But if others take the initiative to bully you, hit them if you can. If you can't, come back and tell the master, and the master will help you fight."
"What can't be defeated? There is nothing that can't be defeated."
"Hahahaha, you are not the best in the world! Don't talk nonsense in Linzi. There is a man named Jiang Mengxiong who has a bad temper. No one your master can beat will have children in the same school as you. You can Don’t worry. Again, don’t bully others.”
Just talking and laughing like this, they flew back to Wu'anhou Mansion.
It's still dark yet!
Chu Yao, who was clamoring to see how high Linzi City was, fell asleep halfway.
"Hey, why are you back? You still have some conscience, don't you? If I couldn't run away, I would have been ready to run to Mingkong Hanshan!" Fatty Chongxuan rushed out after smelling the smell: "Why did you go out? I brought back two people and a child!"
Jiang Wang kicked Chongxuan Fatty back first, then ordered the housekeeper Xie Ping to take Zhang Cuihua and her son down to rest, and then he would deal with Fatty Chongxuan alone.
"Let me tell you, do you remember that time at Tianya Terrace..."
…
Flying to heights never reached before.
I saw a great city that I had never seen before.
She moved into a mansion she had never lived in before, and the small courtyard where she and her children temporarily lived was even bigger than the courtyard where her whole family lived together.
There is the impoverished Wayao Town, and here is Linzi City, where every inch of land is precious.
Of course Wu Anhou is a good person, and Wu Anhou is of course very good.
But Zhang Cuihua understands better, how can anyone in this world be nice to you for no reason?
That timid Chu Haoxue who never got into trouble... what did he pay for this?
Lying on a cradle with beautiful carvings, covered with a silk quilt.
The material of the mattress was smoother than oil surface, as if I was lying on a cloud.
It's all like a dream.
But Yao'er was sleeping soundly, with a satisfied and relaxed smile on his face. This smile is so real.
She looked at her son's sleeping face.
Tears suddenly burst into tears.
Her son's money for studying was robbed, but she didn't cry.
Because she wants to get her money back.
She didn't cry when her biological father kicked her out of the house.
Because she has to take care of her son.
She was holding her son in the room, listening to the insults and banging on the door outside, but she didn't cry.
Because if she is afraid, her son will only be more afraid.
She works hard like a man and works hard to keep her children fed and clothed.
No matter how bullied she was, no matter how wronged she was, she never shed a single tear.
In this noisy but finally peaceful night...
He cried silently.
