Zhao Lei could easily kill someone with his own skills, but now he could only endure it.
And the little money he had in hand was not worth mentioning at all compared to his conjecture.
Then Zhao Lei took out another three coins and stuffed them into Duan Yong's hand.
"Master Jun, I am an honest man and I don't dare to do those criminal things. I will use this little bit of filial piety for you guys to drink tea."
Duan Yong saw another three coins taken out from Zhao Lei's body, and he didn't want to let Zhao Lei go.
Duan Yong winked at several of his men, and then these soldiers quietly surrounded Zhao Lei in the middle.
Zhao Lei looked at the soldiers gathered around him, with a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes. It seemed that his concession only made them push forward, and they regarded him as an easy target.
People who practice martial arts have three evil spirits hidden in their chests.
Giving in was just because Zhao Lei didn't want to cause trouble, not because he was weak.
The people who died under his hands were definitely not sent to Zhao Lei's sword by themselves.
Just when Zhao Lei made up his mind and was about to take action, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Duan Yong and the others naturally heard it. Those who could ride horses in this era were either ruthless bandits or robbers, or were either rich or noble. They were not easy to mess with.
After all, the food that horses eat is much more expensive than the food that people eat. The family can't afford it without any financial resources, especially when there is a lot of movement.
Duan Yong thought that he was just an ordinary person, so he naturally did not dare to block the road and disturb those noble people.
He directly gave his men a look, and then they raised their spears and forced Zhao Lei and the vegetable farmer off the road, making way for the main road, leaving three people behind.
Duan Yong led the remaining people to the city gate. As soon as they stood up, the cavalry arrived at the gate.
This is a team of more than 20 people, with more than a dozen people riding horses in front and behind, and two people in the middle carrying a big red sedan.
A group of teams came over in a mighty manner.
When he arrived at the city gate, Duan Yong just took a quick look and recognized the black-faced man at the front of the team, riding a tall horse.
Suddenly, Duan Yong's expression changed, and then a flattering smile filled his face. He hunched over and ran forward quickly.
"Master Hao, let me tell you why the magpies kept chirping on the branches in the yard this morning. It turns out that I am going to meet a noble person today."
As he spoke, Duan Yong came to Li Hao's side, then held Li Hao's horse very skillfully and continued to walk forward.
It was quite far away at first, so Li Hao didn't recognize Duan Yong for a while. He just thought he looked familiar. It wasn't until Duan Yong took his horse that he suddenly recognized him.
This was his former slave. Li Hao still remembered that he often led him a horse. He seemed to be called Gou San'er, but his name was not clear.
Li Hao didn't expect that he would actually be here and become a little boss. No wonder he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Although Duan Yong is now a senior official, he has received royal meals, and his cousin has also been favored by the county magistrate and became a concubine. He has a background, and this is not unusual.
But I still dare not show any disrespect to Li Hao, even though Li Hao has no official status and is just a 'commoner'.
Duan Yong did what he had done countless times before, holding Li Hao's horse. Then he saw all his men standing behind in a daze, and he was furious.
"What are you still doing? Get out of the way. You're delaying Mr. Hao's business. Let's see if I don't skin you!"
After hearing the officer's scolding, the soldiers naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly moved the horses away.
Then they stood scattered on both sides with spears in hand.
Li Hao waited for the soldiers to move the horses away and clear the road, then waved his hand, and then the team continued on the road.
After Duan Yong led the horse into the city, he only sent it a dozen meters before letting go of the reins.
He stood on the roadside, bent down, and said:
"Master Hao, I still have responsibilities, so I can't leave you for too long, so I will send you here. When I have time, I will pay you a visit at Master Hao's house."
Li Hao said to Duan Yong teasingly:
"Gou San'er, you are so great now. You are wearing a military uniform, eating royal food, and becoming an officer. You are no longer the servant leading the horse."
"My little talent is nothing in front of Mr. Hao. Mr. Hao, you are the big man who can move the clouds and rain. I am just here to make a living, so please don't make fun of me. "
Li Hao snorted, took the reins and held the horse's belly, and rode past Duan Yong.
As the head of the Li family's bodyguard, Li Hao was given the title of adopted son with the surname Li. Naturally, he was proud of himself.
He didn't take Duan Yong's small talent seriously at all.
In Li Hao's eyes, Duan Yong was always just the servant who led his horse. He was just lucky enough to get this job.
Flowing county magistrates and iron-clad aristocratic families, no matter which dynasty or generation, will always rely on these aristocratic families to rule the country.
If the imperial court fell, they would not fall. If they were working in the yamen, he would still take care of it. As for Gou San'er, forget it.
Li Hao pointed out and rode past Duan Yong arrogantly. Duan Yong saw it and remembered it in his heart. He was just a bitch of the Li family, making himself look like a young master of the Li family.
Pooh!
After all, Duan Yong still felt a little envious. The sight of the Li family's thigh made him drool.
My cousin is just a concubine of the county magistrate. She doesn't know when she will fall out of favor, maybe now, maybe in the future when she gets old and loses her luster.
Moreover, high-quality officials such as county magistrates need to be rotated according to the instructions of the court, and they have a certain number of years of appointment in one place.
In a few years, this county magistrate will be transferred away. Whether his cousin will follow him or be left here is unknown.
Although he is now receiving royal food, his position is not stable and he still needs to find a new backer.
Duan Yong likes the Li Hao in front of him very much. He used to be a servant of the Li family, and he often led Li Hao's horses. Having an eye connection with him will make it easier to deal with him in the future.
So Duan Yong also wanted to take this opportunity to prepare gifts and visit Li Hao's home.
Even if they don't see him, as long as they accept the gifts and pay a few special visits, there will always be someone there.
After Duan Yong saw off Li Hao from a distance, his heart was still hot. He no longer cared about Zhao Lei and the bad old man at the door. Those three melons and two dates were completely incomparable with his future future.
After Duan Yong greeted his men hastily, he left in a hurry. He walked through the bustling streets and came out with several gift bags in his hands.
He didn't even have time to return home, so he rushed directly to Li Hao's house.
