"You brat, what do you think? If you don't know me, you have to become your teacher. Only a devil would accept a shameless apprentice like you. Now you have offended the steward guarding the ferry, and you can't even ride on the boat. ,What should we do now?"
Lao Wu had been holding it in all the way, and now his nose was hit and he was suffocating, all of which was directed at Shao Xi. This kid is usually smart and smart, why is he following behind others like a fool today?
Shao Xi is also angry! On Wulong Mountain, people were begging him to learn things. Now, if he just wanted to learn some body skills, he still begged them respectfully. As a result, they didn't like him.
I don't know if my handsome face was flattened by the door panel, so I had to find a mirror to take a good look when I turned around.
"Don't talk nonsense. If I can't learn this movement, I won't leave. There's also that bastard in charge of the ferry. I won't feel comfortable if I don't teach him a lesson. Let's go! Go back to the inn to store the horses."
After saying that, Shao Xi stood up and took Lao Wu, leading the horse back to the inn where he stayed before. He had made up his mind, how handsome he would be with such handsome body skills! If he doesn't learn it, he won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.
When the innkeeper saw the two of them coming back, he felt a little puzzled and asked them: "Hey! You two guests, why are you coming back again? Did you miss the boat? Or did you? What's been delayed?"
Shao Xi was unhappy at this time. He took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the store owner, asking him to take good care of the horses and get some food. When he was full, he would go to the yarn shop again. Old Wu is too lazy to care about him anymore, just let him do whatever he likes!
While the two were eating and drinking in the inn, Manager Zhao had summoned a group of government servants and rushed to the ferry. When they arrived, he saw that everyone was gone and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. I happened to see a fisherman fishing nearby passing by, so I called him over and asked where the previous person had gone. The fisherman said he didn't know, but he saw that the old man and the young man were leaving together with the yarn-spinning girl, and he didn't know where they were going.
When Manager Zhao heard that Shao Xi had left with Sha Nu, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Damn, it turns out these bastards are in the same group. No wonder that stinky girl is so arrogant and dares to come and interfere with my business." , it turns out that this guy is supporting her. Let’s go! Go to the gauze shop to get someone to drag this couple of bitches through the streets.”
After saying that, he led a dozen government servants and headed towards the gauze shop.
Speaking of Sha Nu actually not leaving after closing the door, but standing inside the door listening to the conversation between Shao Xi and Lao Wu, then I realized that Shao Xi had no other purpose, and really just wanted to learn the movement skills from her.
However, if such a stranger suddenly made such a request, how could she, as a daughter, easily agree to it? But when Shao Xi and the two left, they couldn't help but open the door a crack and secretly look at the person leaving.
Although Shao Xi talked a lot of nonsense along the way, which made her think he was a chatterbox, but for some reason, Shao Xi's performance at the dock left a deep impression on her.
Although this young man acted a little recklessly, he could see that he hated evil as much as he wanted, and was full of a sense of justice. He was brave enough to take action and was not cowardly. And when he asked me to teach him the body skills, he didn't have any excessive words or actions. Instead, he was polite and asked for advice humbly, and he didn't look like a bad person.
But when I think about it carefully, my father taught me many years ago that you can’t just look at people by their appearance, you can’t just listen to what they say, you have to look at what they do. Therefore, even though I have a good impression of Shao Xi, I am not sure what kind of person he is, so it is better to stay away from strangers to avoid getting into trouble.
Although she didn't want to cause trouble, sometimes trouble would come to her. Isn't it? While spinning yarn with the female workers in the yarn mill, I heard the sound of "dong dong dong" banging on the door.
There are usually young female workers in this gauze workshop, and few outsiders come. Even if someone comes, they have never smashed the door like this. When the female workers in the workshop heard such knocking on the door, they knew that the person who came was evil, and they were all frightened. His face changed, and a slightly older woman in the gauze shop trotted forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Manager Zhao and a group of people were seen rushing in. The female worker who opened the door was so frightened that she hurried back to the courtyard and looked at the people in panic with other female workers.
Seeing that the person coming was Manager Zhao, others didn't know the reason, but Sha Nu knew very well that their coming this time must be because of the previous ferry incident. At this time, his face was still calm and indifferent, as if he was neither surprised nor concerned about the arrival of Manager Zhao and others.
Manager Zhao came in and went directly to Sha Nu.
Then Manager Zhao walked up to Sha Nu and asked in a sinister manner: "Oh! Now you are pretending to be nothing. I asked you why you were so bold and dared to interfere in my business before. It turned out that you were raising children secretly outside. With a pretty face, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me with his support. Now I am going to drag you couple of bitches out on the street to let everyone outside know that you have secretly raised a wild man at home, and you dare to insult him. Beat up the court officials!"
This statement is so vicious. It simply slanders an unmarried woman for raising a wild man in her family. This is the greatest insult to a woman. Manager Zhao was used to being arrogant and domineering in Yushui Town, and today he was angry with Shao Xi. Now he spoke with no care or scruple, full of obscenities.
Sha Nu was usually a gentle-tempered person who treated others easily, but when she heard Manager Zhao's words, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
"Manager Zhao, you are a respectable person in this town after all. How can you say such filthy words now and slander others for nothing? Although I am a prostitute, I also know the etiquette, justice and shame. How could I do the dirty things you said? ? I hope Manager Zhao won’t talk nonsense and ruin his identity.”
"Hmph! I slandered you? You ruined my good deeds at the ferry today. I only said a few words to you, and your wild man jumped out and kicked me into the water. How dare you say that it had nothing to do with you? I already I have heard that you left the ferry together. Tell me! Where did you hide that wild man of yours? Hand him over immediately, otherwise I will lead people to smash your yarn shop and take you back to the Yamen for torture. , I don’t believe that your lover won’t come to save you. As long as he comes, I will make your life as a couple worse than death, and your reputation will be ruined.”
No matter how good-tempered Sha Nu was, Manager Zhao's vicious words made her look angry, and she reprimanded sternly: "Manager Zhao, as an official in charge of the ferry, you forcefully demanded bribes, just because the boss didn't pay enough." I gave you a little money, but you made every possible effort to make it difficult for the ship to sail ahead of schedule. I just relied on my own ability to deliver the piece of cloud yarn to the ship. How could I ruin your good deed? Could it be that the good deed you say is to squeeze the people out of their lives? In the countryside? Now that someone has come forward to teach you a lesson, you have come to slander me. What is your intention? Just because we are all women in the yarn shop, do we want to be bullied and insulted by you? "
When Manager Zhao heard that the other party not only refused to give in, but also exposed his shortcomings, he was immediately furious. He stared at a pair of bitch eyes, blew his two greasy beards, and started barking in a rage.
"Damn it, you dare to talk to me like that? If you don't hand over that pretty boy today, I will smash your yarn shop, cut off your business, and let you know who said this in Yushui Town. Forget it! If you offend me, I will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Yushui Town from now on. Come on! Hit me!"
When the gauze girl saw that Manager Zhao and others were really going to smash their gauze shop, she was also anxious at this time.
"Who dares? God's law is clear and the king's law is above. How dare you, a small official with no rank, dare to be so rampant? How are you different from a bandit and bully? If you destroy our gauze shop today, I will go to the county to sue you. The Zhao family bullies the village and brings disaster to one side, and I don’t believe that this huge Jing Yuanguo has no place to reason."
"Hahahaha! Go ahead and sue! I think you have forgotten that the county magistrate of Yujiang County is also named Zhao. I am not afraid to tell you honestly, the magistrate of Yushui County, Zhao Xing, is my distant uncle, and the magistrate of Yujiang County is my distant uncle. County Governor Zhao Huajun is my distant uncle, go and sue! I, Zhao Er, am far away and dare not say anything. No one in Yushui Town dares to do anything to me. If you are not convinced, go to the prefecture and go to Kyoto to sue. Go and sue. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In Yujiang County, even the emperor and I can't control this place. This is the world of our Zhao family."
furious! Extremely arrogant! If even half of what Zhao Er said today reaches Daliang in Kyoto, the Zhao family will not leave them alone.
The family blatantly dominates the local area, even utters arrogant words, has no regard for the king's laws, and even has no emperor in its eyes. In the Jingyuan Empire, there is actually a Zhao family member. This is no longer a crime of deceiving the emperor, but an attempt to rebel!
"You...! How dare you say such outrageous words? Aren't you afraid of the royal laws and regulations of the Jingyuan Dynasty? This Yujiang County is the Yujiang County of Jingren State, not the Yujiang of your Zhao family County, if the imperial court knows that your Zhao family is claiming territory as king in Yujiang County, they will definitely send people to investigate and deal with it, and then your entire family will pay the price for your arrogance."
"Hmph! Wang's law? In Yujiang County, our Zhao family is Wang's law. Do you think we can't deal with the imperial court sending a chicken and a puppy? Someone who knows the current affairs will reward him with a few taels of silver and tell him to get out of here. Those who don’t understand current affairs tell him to stay here with his life, and he doesn’t even have to go back to Beijing.”
Sha Nu was shocked when she heard Zhao Er's words. She didn't expect that the Zhao family had such deep roots in Yujiang County. Even the officials from Kyoto didn't pay attention to them. If this is not rebellion, what is it? If this is really the case, this Yujiang County is really dominated by the Zhao family with only one hand, and no one dares to mess with it.
Before Sha Nu could refute again, Zhao Er couldn't wait any longer. He waved his hand to let the government officials rush into the yarn shop and smash them, and then take all the people in the yarn shop back to the government office and torture them.
But when he raised his hand, before he could wave it down, he felt his whole body float into the air and fly forward, and then he plunged into the dye vat in the courtyard, leaving only two legs. He was kicking around outside the dye vat.
When all the yamen servants rushed towards the dyeing vat, Sha Nu saw clearly where Zhao Er was standing just now, a handsome young man was smiling and waving the folding fan in his hand and nodding towards her.
