The hot spot heroes of the big rivers and lakes

Chapter 359 The Snake Catcher Says
Under the enlightenment of the sincere and down-to-earth "brave man, the backbone of the rivers and lakes", the old man finally explained his difficulties...

It turns out that this old man's family is really hard-working people!

The old man's surname was Qin, and his family was originally from Guangnan East Road. Although they lived in poverty, they managed to make ends meet, but later they were oppressed by the gentry and had to move their family eastward to Jiangnan West Road.

These days, for ordinary people, the saying "a person who leaves his hometown and is cheap" makes sense.

If it is not really impossible to survive, no one is willing to leave their hometown.

Jiangnan West Road is a bit better—it used to be a barren land with sparsely populated land. Later, the Manchus and Yuans went south, and the Song Dynasty moved south. Naturally, Jiangnan West Road became the focus of reclamation. In contrast, it is tolerant The nature is stronger, and the court also encourages the people who migrated to come here to cultivate.

Originally, the old man's family settled down in Fengzhuo County, east of Jiangnan West Road, and wanted to take root here.

Unexpectedly, the good times don't last long. At this time, Jiangnan West Road is full of snakes, insects and poisonous miasma. How can it be so easy to stay?The son and daughter-in-law of the old man Qin, that is, the parents of this little girl Qin Nanqin, died under the kiss of the snake!
These grandparents and grandchildren were indeed stubborn and ruthless people. In grief, they traveled thousands of miles to Guangnan West Road, and came back after learning the skills of catching snakes.

Later, when they met the local tyrants and evil gentry, the Qin family finally reclaimed the wild land allotted by the imperial court, and paid off their debts in a muddleheaded way.

Fortunately, the grandfather and grandson also have the ability to catch snakes with one hand. There is a lack of everything here, but there is no shortage of poisonous snakes. Relying on catching snakes and soaking snake gall wine, the grandfather and grandson barely survive.

However, the good times didn't last long. Seeing that his granddaughter was growing up, old man Qin wanted to save money to find a good family for his granddaughter. The magistrate of the county changed!

The new Mr. Qiao, strange to say, doesn't like anything else, but he likes poisonous snakes.

After getting to know the old man Qin in the county, he came to buy it from him. It was good at first, at least it cost money. The old man Qin and his granddaughter just worked more and took risks.

But within a year, the new official became the old master, so he lost many scruples, thinking that the merchants in the city usually give me filial piety, why are you so unfilial, a snake catcher?

Don't even mention the word "buy", this poisonous snake should be regarded as filial piety!

As a result, the grandparent and grandson have increased their annual quota for paying snakes...

Somehow this year, there are less and less poisonous snakes in the forest, no matter what, there are not enough to catch, and Qiao Zhixian heard from somewhere that the old man Qin's granddaughter was pretty, so he became more evil.

A few days ago, someone came and informed the old man Qin that if he couldn't pay the snake, he would use his granddaughter to pay off the debt!
Well, it is a "debt" I owe for some reason.

"There's no reason for that!" Mu Wanqing gritted her teeth when she heard this, and when she saw the old man talking about her heartbreak, she couldn't help it even more, and started to complain.

As Mu Wanqing said, she patted Chu Luren, who was sitting firmly, and said, "Go, let's kill that dog official tonight!"

"No way, no way, although you guys are from Jianghu, Master Qiao is said to be related to some kind of Jianghu sect, and...killing an official, killing an official is a rebellion!" The old man Qin quickly persuaded.

Indeed, the consequences and impact of killing a magistrate who has taken office seriously are much greater than killing a partial general who has not taken office.

"What is old man Qin going to do now?" Chu Luren asked noncommittally.

"Hey, I was thinking, if Mr. Qiao is too persuasive, let Qin'er go back to Guangdong, the old man...I will fight with him!" Old man Qin gritted his teeth.

"Grandpa! I won't go, I won't go!" Qin Nanqin said hastily, crying again.

Ah Zi rolled her eyes and said: "Sister Nanqin, I will teach you! The dog official wants to accept you, so he will tell him to accept you. Then he will hide a snake on his body, and when he enters the bridal chamber, he will press the snake's teeth towards him. Press it on the neck...if you still can't relieve your breath, take Zhuyeqing's poison sac, mix it with arsenic and deer blood...and pour it into the well water of his house..."

When Qin Nanqin saw the little girl, her eyes were full of innocence, and her mouth was full of smiles, yet she said such terrible words, she couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

I just feel that this younger girl is probably more terrifying than the other one who seems to have a bad temper.

"Ah Zi! Don't teach me anything." Mu Wanqing gave her a push, and then Ah Zi stopped talking.

The Chulu people stared at Qin Nanqin and said, "Are poisonous snakes scary?"

"It's scary if you can't catch it, but it's not scary if you can catch it." Qin Nanqin said, wiping away tears.

"The dog officials have so many scumbags, why don't they let them catch snakes?" the Chulu people continued to ask.

"Because they don't know..." Qin Nanqin was still puzzled, how could this person be so stupid.

"That's right, they are afraid of snakes, and snakes are afraid of you, but you are afraid of him?" the Chulu people asked back.

Ah Zi smiled "hehe" and said, "Does Chu Taisui also think my idea is good?"

Well, although AhZi has a wonderful three views, at least she didn't say anything to persuade others to obey. From this point of view, there is still hope.

"It's not unreasonable... I'm not saying that you, old man Qin, are so determined to catch snakes, you should have so determinedly at the beginning, what kind of noble gentry and dog officials, don't everyone have their lives?" Chu Lu Easy to say.

Is the old man Qin's family miserable?awful.

Unlucky?Not sure.

Even in such a world, ordinary people don't need to be very unlucky if they want to have this kind of experience, just a little bit of unlucky will do.

But the Chulu people didn't intend to let the grandparents of the Qin family go, they stood up and greeted Mu Wanqing: "Let's go, let's kill that dog official!"

At this moment, Murong Jiu put away the folding fan, put the fan bone on the Chuluren's wrist, and reminded: "Have you forgotten that you know Princess Yunluo? Why don't you just go to Lin'an to write a letter?"

Yunluo County can't be in charge of the affairs of the court, and it's not her turn to intervene in family and country affairs, but a mere county magistrate...

Today is not the time when magistrates can be regarded as "Bailihou". The official system of the Song court is fragmented locally. Magistrates... In Lin'an, it is just a Zhima official, and it is a matter of a word from Princess Yunluo.

When the grandparents of the Qin family heard that this princess actually recognized some princess, although they didn't know the relationship between this "Yun Luo" and the emperor, they also knew that he must be a relative of the emperor, so they immediately bowed down and asked for help.

But the Chulu people said: "What letter? I am Chu Taisui, a person in the Jianghu, do I have to go through the back door to kill a dog official?"

The old man Qin and his granddaughter Qin Nanqin couldn't stop them, Mu Wanqing also liked Chuluren's decision, and Ah Zi... was even more aggressive.

Murong Jiu just reminded him, he didn't bother to persuade him, at most he blamed him for taking the trouble twice.

The people of Chulu are not all out of anger. It is true that they know Yunluo, but what about others?

People in the world have to know the relatives of the emperor in order to speak the truth, is that still reasonable?

Be sure to choose a reason, Chulu people also prefer to use the sword in their hands to make a reason...

Under the rule of Yuan Ting in Guanzhong, operas are popular now, and there is a play "Dou E's Injustice" that is very popular among the people, not only because of empathy, but also because of the final ending. Killing corrupt officials and thieves and avenging my daughter is very relieved.

However, people from Chulu don't like this drama, especially the later episodes—you have to count on having a father who is a Jinshi, so that you can vindicate your grievances?Is the claim cost too high?

It's no wonder that Yuan Ting also supported this kind of play. Kublai Khan always hoped that Yuan Ting's imperial examination could also be carried out...

Chulu people prefer the "White-haired Girl" of later generations - even if she was defiled by Huang Shiren and fled to the mountains, the lonely white-haired girl sang: "If you want to force me to death, you will blind your eye sockets! Take out the water that doesn't work , an inextinguishable fire! I will not die, I want to live! I want revenge, I want to live!"

It's the same reason - I, a Chulu man, have to go through the princess's back door in order to uphold justice?
