Chapter 42: Private Operation
Zheng Zuliang has passed down several generations of single generations. He regards this only son as a pearl. It is really a matter of fear of melting when he holds it in his mouth and breaking it in his hands. He has been using everything from childhood to food and clothing. He is usually obedient. Even if he has a thousand ideas, he dare not impose it on his precious son. He has been letting it go since he was a child.
The stone was too big, and finally he went to the prison. He also invited two masters to protect him. In the end, something happened, and he spent a lot of effort to get the stone out. Who knew that what else would happen if he stayed inside for one more day.
After this incident, Shi Tou grew up and matured, he changed his past and obeyed his father. Zheng Zuliang was very excited, and a stone in his heart finally fell.
Liang Chuan passed by the court before he came out. He was curious about how this stone came out and said to Shi Tou: "Shi Tou, you haven't come to court yet, why did you come out like this?"
Shi Tou looked at Liang Chuan mysteriously and said, "This Xinghua, you can use money well, and things that can be solved with money are not a problem..."
When Liang Chuan heard about the money, he thought it through with a change of mind. He stopped asking more questions and forced a smile and said, "Oh oh oh...I understand!"
Shi Tou continued, "It's not just that I came out, thanks to Brother Kong Fang's credit. Even Brother Liang, you can come out so easily, is also the credit of Brother Kong Fang!"
Hearing this, Liang Chuan's body was shocked first, and then he seemed to understand something. He looked at Zheng Zuliang again. Zheng Zuliang was smiling and fiddling with the tea set, picking up the tea bowl to breathe the fragrance of the tea, without saying a word, but the expression clearly was telling Liang Chuan that he had put a lot of effort into repaying your favor today!
Liang Chuan thought about it carefully. No wonder the magistrate's father entered the back hall today in the court. As soon as he came out, he immediately determined that Yang Chun was suspected. Zheng Zuliang was the one who operated it!
Shi Tou said: "Last night, my father knew that you saved me, and he worked overnight to help you settle the life lawsuit. Yang Xing was indeed dead strangely, but if it wasn't for you, it must be Yang Chun's fault! Now Yang Chun has no choice but to have it, he has suffered it!"
Run overnight!
If those guys don’t work, they are not close to me, so how can they run from Fengshan to the county town to testify to themselves!
Shi Tou winked and said, "It's hard to settle the matter in Song Dynasty, so he spent a lot of money."
Liang Chuan couldn't sit still, so he immediately jumped up from the chair and bowed deeply to Zheng Zuliang, "I, Liang Chuan, are a villager. Thanks to Zheng Yuanwai's rescue today, I am really grateful and I can't repay you. I hope the master will give me a chance to repay my life-saving grace!"
Seeing that Liang Chuan could not sit still, Zheng Zuliang pressed Liang Chuan down and said with a smile: "Where is my benefactor, what can money be settled? No matter how much money a child's life is in his eyes, it's impossible to compare with it. Don't mention this matter in the future! Xiao Huan, go and see, why has Dr. Chen not come yet, and the injury on his benefactor's hand can't be afforded!"
The maid next to him ran out immediately as soon as she heard the order.
Zheng Zuliang glanced at Liang Chuan and said, "I heard from my child that my benefactor made a poem in prison six steps, and he also recited "If the fire is burned for free, you must keep your innocence in the world!" I wonder if this good sentence passed down from generation to generation is true?"
Liang Chuan didn't know why he mentioned this matter, so he could only agree with embarrassment: "I just read a few deviant poems, and dog meat can't be at the banquet, don't laugh!"
Zheng Zuliang was shocked! Although the popularity of this dynasty is no longer a quatrain and regular verse, it is not easy to think of such a famous piece that can be passed down through the ages. He was a juren and ordered that he could write such famous quotes without this level. Moreover, as far as he knew, today, looking at the world, there are no one who can write works comparable to those of you!
"Why do you have a man of heaven and man hide in Fengshan? Today, the priest has just ascended to the great treasure, and it is precisely through interpersonal interpersonal relationships. Why don't you covet the country's kindness?"
Liang Chuan suddenly laughed when he saw Shi Tou looking at each other. Why did he have to take the imperial examination by himself? It seemed like he would be sorry for himself if he didn't take the exam. He brainwashed Meng Liangchen in prison for one night last night. Do you want to say it again now?
Shi Tou said the intense debate between Liang Chuan and Meng Liangchen last night to Zheng Zuliang vividly from beginning to end. Shi Tou imitated Meng Liangchen's expression mischievously, which made Liang Chuan feel embarrassed.
Liang Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have never read a book. I only understand that there must be a teacher in the three-person exam. I don't know anything else. How can I take the imperial examination?"
Zheng Zuliang first listened to Shi Tou’s nonsense, and then listened to Liang Chuan’s humility, and even more respected Liang Chuan’s insight!
How could Zheng Zuliang believe his nonsense? Who would recite poems without reading? Since he refused to speak, then forget it.
Zheng Zuliang invited an old doctor to apply medicine to treat the knife wound on Liang Chuan. The powder turned yellow and bandaged it after cleaning the wound. Liang Chuan felt that the wound was much better when he wrapped it, at least he would not feel any tingling.
Zheng Zuliang just sipped tea, and some of them didn't talk about some old things about Xinghua with Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan could hear it very excitedly, but Liang Chuan was a little impatient when he kept saying these irrelevant words. Liang Chuan was straightforward and asked directly: "Master Zheng, the group of people yesterday..."
Zheng Zuliang is very experienced in life. He sold a favor to Liang Chuan but he didn't tell him, so he asked his son Shi Tou to talk about it. Now he obviously had something to talk to Liang Chuan, but he didn't say it explicitly, and he kept talking nonsense, just to let Liang Chuan say it himself.
When Liang Chuan heard that it was said, he happily said, "My benefactor, I'm not to hide it. The Zheng family has worked hard for several generations. This has built a big and small family business in Xinghua, but after this big business, it is easy to be targeted by others. So, a child is ignorant and provoked a small person, and he almost suffered a disaster. Don't look at the small places in Xinghua, the water is quite shallow." After saying that, he looked at Liang Chuan meaningfully.
Liang Chuan himself said: "Is this group of masked people being ordered to deliberately take the lives of the stone!"
"Can't my benefactor see that? Yesterday, Xingyao had a fire inexplicably. The Xinghua County Government is not a thatched house that ordinary people live in. No city may cause a fire if there is a fire. Besides, this Xinghua one acre and three-part land, most thieves would not dare to go to the county government to scatter, let alone such a big disturbance in the county government."
"What do you mean is there any other article in this arson case, and it may even be a collusion between inside and outside?"
It’s comfortable to talk to smart people, and you don’t have to be so direct. Zheng Zuliang looks at Liang Chuan more and more like him and said, “Yes, that’s right. Benefactor, you rescue the child. I’m afraid that this group of strong men will target you. It’s inconvenient to speak outside, so I can only come to our mansion to talk.”
Liang Chuan screamed in his heart that this group of people dared to break into the yamen. The small thatched hut under the ravine was burned by them and they could not do anything to them. No, I thought that Yang Xing could live quietly as soon as the matter was over, but this wave of failure caused another even more ruthless one.
Liang Chuan thanked Zheng Zuliang again and said, "Thank you Mr. Zheng for reminding me that if there is nothing else, I will not disturb you anymore. I have been away from Fengshan for two days. My wife and the others should have missed me long ago. Thank you Mr. Zheng for your hospitality!"
Zheng Zuliang saw that Liang Chuan was about to leave now, so he hurriedly kept him and said, "My benefactor, Li Xian, ask your sister to take out the gift and let me take it with you!"
Shi Tou jumped into the back hall in a few seconds, and then slowly walked out with his sister Zheng Yuzhi. Zheng Yuzhi held a tray in his hand, and there was a bright red silk cloth covering it, so that the things inside could not be seen.
Zheng Yuzhi and Liang Chuan met, but Zheng Yuzhi kept saying that Liang Chuan had been calling him a cripple. Yesterday, she came back from delivering food to Shi Tou and told Zheng Liangzu about this. At that time, Zheng Zuliang just used a joke to listen casually and didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, the Xinghua prison caught fire later, and a series of things were related to Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan smiled at Zheng Yuzhi. Zheng Yuzhi pretended to be reserved and gave a slight salute. The two of them clicked until they couldn't get over the line.
Zheng Zuliang lifted the red silk cloth and saw three huge snowflakes inside. Each one was the size of an egg, silver, and quite attractive! It was the first time Liang Chuan saw this currency. No wonder everyone loves silver, silver is really cute!
Zheng Yuzhi had always thought that Liang Chuan was a wealthy slave who was fond of money and was fond of life. After hearing about the Xinghua prison, she also looked at Liang Chuan with admiration. She thought that this dead cripple had saved her younger brother so much that she could not have such a good or bad luck. Then it was natural to get the money.
Liang Chuan looked at the white silver ingots and looked at Zheng Zuliang thoughtfully. Zheng Zuliang did not look at his expression. Liang Chuan had to ask, "Master Zheng, this is..."
"Mr. Don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning. I just want to make friends like you! Friendship with you is not a gentleman, but Mr. Zheng is a little talented person. He has been studying the Book of Sages for twenty years and has only been a juren. Now he is old and weak, and he has no chance to show off his skills like his benefactor. I admire his benefactor's talent and cannot repay his benefactor's actions. I hope my benefactor will accept this little meaning and will be troubled by the way!"
Liang Chuan laughed, without saying anything, pushed the silver plate back, and said to the Zheng family: "Master Zheng is too polite. You don't think I am humble and I am already grateful for your wishes. I must not accept this money. I am honored to meet you if you are destined to be together. There are still some trivial matters in the family, so I will say goodbye!"
When Zheng Zuliang first saw Liang Chuan, he believed that this young man was extraordinary, but he couldn't say that he was different. The young man in Xinghua, who was a little restrained when he saw himself, was not. He had a good manner when he was strolling in the garden and saw anything. He didn't even charge the money he gave him. What an amazing person!
