Rebellious Minister Part 1

Although there is a big scorching sun in the sky, because many small sheds for kitchen workers have been built in the backyard of Zhenxianglou, the sky above the "mouth"-shaped backyard is full of old clothes, rags and Dried seafood, not to mention not seeing the sun all year round, and the fishy smell can't go away here.

On the greasy slate floor, there are five or six large wooden basins piled high with dirty dishes, two low benches of unidentifiable original color, and a well with moss growing, which is the whole scenery of the backyard.

Thinking about the inexhaustible delicious food in front of the restaurant, but the backyard is full of sewage, dark and damp like a gutter, it is really jaw-dropping and unappetizing, and it is impossible to believe that this is the same place.

When the master and servant first arrived, they were really scared. Are there any mice here?It was so dirty that there was no place to stand.

Of course, Ergou and Da Liu, who were guarding them, have long since seen it!Coincidentally, the old women who washed the dishes before disliked the hard work, so they gave up doing it.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower, these two people were arrested and helped the restaurant wash the dishes for six months, at least [-] to [-]. They are simply white workers who fell from the sky.

For this reason, Da Liu's attitude was still kind, and he threw a stinky apron to each of them, which was regarded as the start of work.Er Gou kept cursing and hating them for being too slow, too weak, but eating too much, even if what they ate was just a rotten steamed bun.

In other words, Ergou is just finding fault with nothing, picking bones in the egg.Perhaps this is also the shopkeeper's instruction, because the noodle bowl was obviously broken when it was moved, and they insisted that they broke it, and they had to pay for it. The old debt was added to the new debt, and the master and servant worked hard for three days. The bowl, but the result is——I have to pay the shopkeeper a lot of money.

+ + + + +

It was not dawn again today, so Ergou called him up to work, and he didn't even eat breakfast, saying that he would eat it at noon.

But now it was noon, but Er Gou said that dinner was ready, and he was sitting on the cool porch with a bamboo stool and taking a nap.

"Crack, creak!"

The boy whose trousers were rolled up to his thighs was gritting his teeth and was shaking the whip perch above the well vigorously.The bucket was huge and as heavy as a rock. The more he tried to pump the water up, the more he couldn't pull it up. Besides, he was hungry and almost lost his breath.

And the bucket seemed to be against him, swaying, and it was about to fall down again!

"Xiao Dezi! I'll help you!"

Seeing the young man who was washing dirty dishes by the well platform, he immediately got up and helped him stabilize the bucket. Finally, the two of them worked together to bring out the bucket full of well water.

"Old, master, I will do the rest of the work, you can rest for a while." The boy panted and looked at the master's hand distressedly.

It has only been three days, and the fingers that should have been white and slender have already been covered with large and small wounds. The fishbone in the dish and the broken porcelain bowl can all become sharp weapons to hurt people.

Even when the bamboo pot brush accidentally scratches the back of the hand, it hurts so much that it makes people grit their teeth!But this kind of work still needs to be done for six months!

"It's okay, don't worry, I can still do it." The young man smiled, and sat back in front of the wooden basin full of dirty bowls, picked up a rag, and carefully scrubbed the bowls.

The business of the restaurant was good, and hundreds of dirty bowls and dishes came out of the stove. From morning to now, the young man hadn't had time to lift his head, but there was still a large basin unwashed.

And if Ergou wakes up, there must be another wave of curses.

The boy looked at the young man, tears were about to fall.If he was just beaten and starved by himself, he would be able to endure it. After all, he came out of the palace, and the old eunuch punished him worse than Ergou!

But it is absolutely reluctant for the emperor to suffer along with him.

Xiao Dezi felt that he had become a sinner through the ages, and regretted that the emperor should not be allowed out of the palace.So, he glanced at Ergou secretly, and seeing that he was still fast asleep, he put down the bucket and approached the young man.

"Master..." Xiao Dezi said softly, "Why don't you let me go to General Jing? Maybe the General is outside, looking for us everywhere."

Snapped!

The pot brush was thrown into the water, the young man lowered his face, Xiao Dezi was startled, and almost knelt down and shouted, "The emperor calms down".

"I'd rather serve as a servant for the rest of my life if I ask him to rescue the soldiers." The young man said stubbornly, "It's not because of him that I left the palace!"

"But the general is the most loyal to you!"

"Hmph, he used to be, but now it's hard to tell." The young man frowned, and said indignantly, "I want him to go to the pilgrimage, but he won't come. When I don't want to see him, he just goes to the pilgrimage." What remonstrances are you talking about! You are against me at all!! How can you be a loyal minister?!"

"Master, since ancient times, loyal words have been harsh to the ears... Cough, of course, I don't mean that." When Xiao Dezi saw the young man's face like a blue cloth, he quickly changed his words, "That day, General Jing was on official business, so he couldn't go to court. Yes, he is definitely not contradicting the holy will."

"You dare to speak for him, are you taking advantage of him?!" The young man said angrily, staring at Xiao Dezi coldly.

"Of course not the little one! The little one is just worried about the emperor and your dragon body." Although Xiao Dezi was afraid of the young man's anger, he actively persuaded him, "Could it be that you really want to suffer here for half a year? I've never suffered like this before."

"Although I have never done rough work, I am not so delicate..." Just as the young man was saying this, there was a sudden sound of crackling firecrackers outside the backyard door, and the small courtyard was suddenly filled with smoke.

"What happened?"

The sound woke Ergou up, and he lazily got up and opened the locked courtyard door.Only then did the young man and the boy see that behind him was a deep and narrow alley, which was also the backyard of other people's houses, but those houses didn't look as grand as Zhenxianglou, they were all mud walls and thatched roofs.

"Master, someone is getting married." The boy stretched his neck and looked out.A big red sedan chair was parked at the end of the alley, but the strange thing was that it was not the welcoming team holding firecrackers, but government servants in official uniforms.

"Really?" The young man also looked out, feeling that the formation was very strange.Yamen servants surrounded a simple house with weapons in their hands, slapped the door with steel knives, and yelled sharply.

"My surname is Xu! Open the door quickly! The county lord is here to marry the girl from your family!" After shouting, he kicked the door with his foot.

"Father! Mother! Help me!"

The yamen servants were like bandits, and they smashed things indiscriminately when they entered. When the neighbors heard the movement, they opened the door to have a look at it at first.

A handsome girl in a coarse green dress was crying so loudly, but she was still taken out of the room by the yamen servants, covered with a piece of red cloth, and forced into a sedan chair.

An old couple cried and chased out the door, but were knocked down by the yamen servants.After the yamen servant committed the murder, he threw down a bank note and shouted, "It's the county master who bought your daughter, and we will have no relationship between life and death in the future!"

"W-Isn't this robbing the women of the people?! It's too abominable!" The young man trembled with anger when he saw it. In such a rich place, under the blue sky and broad daylight, there is such a thing? !It's just blind!

"Go! What's none of your business? The county master took a fancy to his daughter and married her back to be a concubine. It's a blessing they have cultivated in several lifetimes." Ergou pretended to be next to him, "Hurry up and go back to wash the dishes, Lao Tzu I have to go to the county master's mansion to have a wedding tonight!"

"This is not an official of the people's parents, it is a gangster!" The young man was furious, but he didn't care so much. Seeing that the sedan chair was about to be carried out of the alley, he looked around, picked up a pole, and rushed out.

"Master! Wait for me!" The boy yelled, but it was too late to stop him.

"Bastard! Get the hell out of me!" Ergou yelled, and hurriedly chased him out. He really didn't expect that this weak-looking boy would dare to provoke the yamen servant and spoil the good work of the county lord?

+ + + + +

"Stop!" The young man yelled, holding a shoulder pole and standing in front of the sedan chair.

The leader of the yamen servant was walking triumphantly when a strange man rushed out in front of him.

The person blocking the way was young, dressed in rough clothes, dirty from head to toe, with pot ash on his face, and holding a flat as a weapon.

The yamen servant said in a very unfriendly tone, "Who's dog pen is not fastened, let this wild boy out to bark at me?! I'm not afraid that I will break his dog's legs!"

"Bold! You are not allowed to speak rudely and contradict my master!"

The servant also rushed out following the young man, blocking between the young man and the yamen servant, and stretched out his hands to protect the young man.

"Master? Hahaha! This respectable appearance is still a master?!"

The yamen servants burst out laughing, and Ergou rushed over in a hurry. He first bowed to the yamen servants to make amends, and then explained, "He and the two of them are from the countryside. Got caught and now works as a dishwasher in the backyard."

"Oh, it turned out to be a coolie from Zhenxianglou." The yamen servant looked at the boy and the young man contemptuously, thinking, this Zhenxianglou and the county master have a little friendship, and they usually pay a lot of tribute, so it's better to look back After settling accounts with him, he yelled, "Ergou, let them go away quickly, no one can afford to miss the auspicious time for the master's marriage!"

"Yes, yes! That—you! Hurry up and get out!" Er Gou wanted to call the young man's name, but remembered that he didn't know the other party's name?So he pointed at the young man's face and shouted, "You, you! Go back and wash the dishes! Mind your own business!"

"Business? As the saying goes, if the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if the situation is uneven, someone will take care of it! What's more, now that the thief officials are in power, robbing famous women, I, as a Dayan...a citizen of Dayan, how can I not care about it?!"

"Oh! I think you are tired of life, kid? How dare you call the county master a thief? Come on, beat me! Beat me to death! There will be a reward for killing!" The yamen servants all besieged them.

"Oh my god! This is going to kill someone!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ergou quickly slipped back to the yard to report the news. Only the young man stood in front of the young man, but he couldn't stand the rain of fists and the forest of sticks, and was beaten and lay on the ground , his face was covered in blood!

Holding a shoulder pole, the young man kept parrying the wolf's punches and kicks, and even rescued the young boy from the ground. Seeing this, the young man simply drew out his big knife and slashed wildly.

The young man kicked the two of them over with one kick, and beat the yamen servants to their heads with a shoulder pole. He shouted, "In terms of fighting, I won't lose to you! I'm going to do justice for the sky today, and take care of you gangsters who are working for tigers." asshole!"

The soles of his feet seemed to be oiled, and no matter how the yamen servants surrounded him, he could turn around flexibly, until the yamen servants were beaten and screamed.

"What the hell is that! Cut him to death!" The chief of the yamen servant's forehead was hit by a pole, and he was bleeding, and he screamed loudly in pain. After such a commotion, even people on the street ran into the alley to watch the excitement. .

Others were whispering, "What's the matter? The beating is so fierce?"

"I heard that the county master wanted to take a concubine again, and he married a girl from the Xu family."

"Then who is fighting?"

"Maybe she's the girl of the Xu family's sweetheart, alas, she's trying so hard to stop her." A woman said with a sigh of relief.

"It's really a crime. Everyone knows that the county master is the most lustful. This concubine has married seven of them. Now... who can stop him."

"Dang, dang! Bang!"

The gong that cleared the way was beating resoundingly. Seeing a large crowd of soldiers pouring in again, the onlookers avoided in a panic and knelt down on both sides of the street, not daring to speak any more.

The person who came was Jin Fuli, a senior official in Dihua Town, who was seventy-seven in his thirties this year, with a handsome appearance and a mighty figure.I saw him dressed in a groom's red dress, riding on a tall horse, looking majestic and majestic, like a cock with a red crown.

The number of soldiers he brought was four or five times that of the yamen servants just now, and the chaotic scene was immediately subdued. The injured leader of the yamen servants stopped beating for the time being, and knelt down in front of the horse tied with red silk.

"My lord! Please forgive me! It's all because of this dog slave who made trouble, and the sedan chair..."

"Come on, you guys go back first."

Under the eyes of all the people, he, the official, had to put on a serious scripture, and said admonishingly, "I asked you to come to welcome the relatives, and you have made them fly like dogs and dogs. How can they not be safe?" Can I hit you?"

"Yes! It's all subordinates' dereliction of duty." The commander of the yamen servant with a bruised nose and a swollen face stepped aside like a bereaved dog.

Jin Fuli didn't even look at the young man surrounded in the corner, and ordered to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Go, take the sedan chair away for me, hurry up."

The other yamen servants who were beaten and lying on the ground were also helped up by the officers and soldiers. This scene looked like a battle.

"Can't go!" The young man frowned, still wanting to stop the sedan chair, "Since you are the official of the parents, you should be the master of the people, instead of bullying others and occupying the daughters of the people!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked!

Everyone knows that the county master is a money-grubbing and lustful person, but no one dares to say so to his face.

That's like stretching your neck towards the knife edge, it's completely fatal!

As soon as the young man's voice fell, there was a deathly silence, and everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

At this time, the shopkeeper arrived anxiously. When he saw the county master was so angry that his face was like a pig's liver and his forehead had blue veins, he secretly called it unlucky. He was worried that the county master would demolish Zhenxiang Building if he got serious.

So he looked left and right, and saw a farmer just carrying a bucket of well water, standing nearby to watch the excitement, he snatched the bucket, and poured it on the young man's back.

Suddenly, a large bucket of cold water rushed from behind, which naturally made the young man unsteady. He took a step forward and was soaked from head to toe. Take the pole in his hand and kick him to the ground!

"Bastard! Presumptuous!"

The young man scolded angrily, and quickly got up from the ground, but his whole body was drenched, and his crumpled towel and cap fell off. The young man wiped the water droplets rolling on his face with his sleeves, and wiped away the dirty oil and pot ashes. Also wiped off.

I don't know if there is too much contrast with the appearance just now, everyone is stunned.

That is really a red-faced, white-toothed, unbelievably beautiful person!

Look at his black and shiny hair, hanging down to his waist like a waterfall.The cloth drenched in water outlines his slightly thin waist, but it doesn't mean that he is weak, because he is tall and well-proportioned, which shows that he has practiced martial arts and is not a scholar.

His face is so handsome and upright, whether it is the white skin like jade, or the clear eyes like the stream in the mountains, and the thin crimson lips, they all have a charm that makes people lose their minds.

Everyone in the world says that there can be no perfect people in the world. Some people have good mouths, but their eyes grow smaller, while some people have good outlines, but their noses are too high. Exists only in a painting, or in a poet's fantasy.

But this person's appearance is really astonishing, like a fairy in a painting!Jin Fuli has never been a man, and he thinks he has seen countless beauties, including this new concubine, who is also a famous beauty in this area.

But seeing this young man now, Hong Luan's heart was moved like never before, staring straight at him, he was really salivating!

The more you look at it, the more pleasing it is. How could this person's eyes be so vivid, as clear as a stream, deep and moving, and his high nose is also very beautiful. The only fly in the ointment is probably that he is a man.

But in the current world of peerless beauty, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, let alone Dayan allows men to get married.

After such a short period of time, Jin Fuli already had a plan in his mind, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant and Ergou were also watching in a daze.

As the saying goes, first respect clothes and then respect people, because when the young man came to the store, he was dressed too plainly and wore a big blue cloth hat, which distracted their attention, and they didn't even look closely at the young man's face. , and the boy was always standing in front of him, bouncing around, so naturally only the impression of the boy was left in their eyes.

It turns out that the young man is such an extraordinary and beautiful man, if he had known that he would serve in the lobby, wouldn't there be a lot of guests and a lot of money?The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, regretting that his intestines were green.

"Why don't you talk?" The young man stood on the spot, seeing that the official and the shopkeeper looked like ghosts, he raised his head and said, "But do you know how powerful I am?"

How to put it, he is the majestic Emperor of Yan, and his gestures must be majestic. You must know that in the palace, everyone is respectful and submissive to him, and they dare not look up.

The only one who can look at him calmly is the ruthless General Jing.

Thinking of this, the young man's mood became more and more bad, and he said, "Today, I will not allow you to commit crimes. Being an official and receiving imperial salaries is not for you to know the law and break the law!"

"Come on!" Jin Fuli shouted suddenly, the young man frowned, and put on a pose that was about to fight again.

"My lord." The leader of the yamen servant stepped forward and said.

"Go and release Miss Xu." Jin Fuli said.

"grown ups?"

"Hurry up!" Jin Fuli urged with a straight face, and the leader of the yamen servant did as he said.

The young lady of the Xu family, who was crying so much that she turned pale, finally returned to the arms of her parents. The three of them cried and hugged each other, and then knelt down together to thank the young man. His face was flushed, and he quickly helped the three of them up and let them go home.

Hainfuli kept his hands behind his back, looking at the young man with a smile.When his work was over, he asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Sui Yang." Seeing that he knows his mistakes and can correct them, the young man replied.

"It's true that you are from the capital city. Then how old are you? Do you have a family?" Jin Fuli interrogated, thinking to himself, since he came from the imperial city, he must be a rich man from a poor family, that's why he dressed It's so simple, but there is an indescribable "nobility" all over the body, unlike ordinary people.

"Seventeen, I haven't married yet." The young man didn't understand why the man asked this, but he answered honestly.

"It's the age of green branches and green leaves, no wives and concubines, very good!" Jin Fuli circled around the young man, waved his hand, "Come here, invite this young man to get on the sedan chair."

"Obey!" The leader of the yamen servant rushed over first.

"What? Bold! Do you want to catch me?" The young man thought that the county magistrate had repented, and wanted to take him down to vent his anger.

"Where, I just invite you to go to the mansion to talk and assist in handling the case." Jin Fuli has the ability to incriminate people casually, he looked at the shopkeeper and lost his wink.

The shopkeeper said, "My lord, he and his servants were caught by the grass people while he and his servants were eating the overlord's meal in the grass people's shop. I hope the Lord will make the decision for the grass people."

"Very well, I will make the decision for you, so please, sir, get on the sedan chair." Jin Fuli said so clearly that it was impossible to refuse.

"No, my master can't go with you!" But the young man felt that this was wrong, and he jumped out and said while enduring the pain from the beating just now.

"Who is he?" Jin Fuli covered his nose and asked, "Why is it so stinky?"

"It's that servant." The shopkeeper took the opportunity to say, "They are in the same group."

"Okay, take everyone back to the Yamen for trial!" Jin Fuli ordered.

"Just go, I'm not afraid, but I won't get on your sedan chair." The young man frowned.

"Hey, it's a long journey, what should I do if I hurt your foot?" Jin Fuli said, with greedy and hypocritical eyes.In order to wash the dishes, the young man took off his shoes and socks, and his feet are now bare.

"That's right, my master won't go up." The boy shouted, his voice was louder than that of the young man, "It's against the rules."

"It's your turn to speak here! Someone! Take him down!" Jin Fuli unceremoniously ordered someone to tie up the servant as a threat, and there were so many people that the young man couldn't resist for a while.

In the end, no matter how much he struggled, his hands and feet were tied and he was forced into the sedan chair.

"Bastard! I will definitely chop..." Because he was swearing endlessly, another happy handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth, and Jin Fuli was so happy, now that he hugged the beauty back, he didn't even pay attention to what the young man was swearing.

"Come on, let's get on the sedan chair!" Jin Fuli smiled all over his face, so in the big sedan chair decorated with colorful beads and hydrangeas, a man with five flowers tied up sat, and walked west along the road to the sound of gongs and drums.
