Chapter 56
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding..."
The sound of beating stones in the yard woke Lao Wang from his sleep.
Open your eyes and it was already dawn.
Lao Wang got up and put on his clothes, walked out the door, and saw that the courtyard wall that was pushed down yesterday had been built with stones. The large courtyard of the guest room was covered with stone floors, which looked quite grand.
However, Lao Wang always felt that it was not as stable as when he was sleeping with Suhe, Sucheng, and Suhe in the past few days.
Lao Wang rubbed his hair and his face was full of depression. He walked out of the guest room yard and saw Su Cheng sitting by the pond, closing his eyes to practice.
There is also Ren Yao next to him who is disgusting.
"Wow"
Su Cheng, who was closing his eyes and cross-legged, suddenly spitted blood, sprayed it into the pond water, attracting a group of cheerful fish, circling around the blood.
Lao Wang walked over with a strange surprise and glared at Ren Yao in annoyance.
This grandson recommended a set of internal skills to vomit blood to Su Cheng. Su Cheng used the blood to vomit blood to scare away the two hundred miles of emergency command soldiers sent by the Ministry of War, although it saved Su Cheng's life.
But why does it feel that it is not that Su Cheng's attitude towards him has changed, but that his attitude towards Su Cheng has changed.
It seemed that Su Cheng had taught him his internal skills and saved him from death, so he was so grateful to Su Cheng.
It's messy.
This grandson's attitude is very unpleasant.
When Ren Yao saw Lao Wang, he raised his chin provocatively.
In the past few days, he taught Su Cheng to practice martial arts. Su Cheng vomited a lot of blood, but Lao Wang's expression was even more depressed. He used to be guilty of himself, but now he seems to be starting to get bored.
This shows that your strategy is correct.
The robbery of his successor made him unhappy, depressed, and regretted. Torturing him like this seemed to be more relieved than killing him.
Well, there is also a little sense of accomplishment. It would be great if Su Cheng was his apprentice.
It can be understood at a glance and understand at a glance. This is definitely a genius.
Look, Su Cheng has already practiced this kind of internal skills that he has worked hard for decades.
"Old Wang, I think you seem to be in a depressed mood, but if you have any unresolved knots, you might as well tell me and the Marquis to be happy."
Su Cheng, who had finished his exercise, immediately agreed:
"Yes, yes, let's be happy."
Lao Wang looked unhappy:
"Mr. Marquis, purple Qi is rising eastward, it's time to practice."
Su Cheng glanced at the east. Before the sun was about to come out, the east sky turned white, and the purple air was about to burst out soon.
It is indeed a good time to practice Zixia Gong.
Su Cheng began to exercise his skills, and the white air above his head was filled with mist.
Ren Yao began to feel unhappy again.
This feels very uncomfortable.
...
After breakfast, Su Cheng wanted to go out to stroll in the fields, wanting to see how good the winter wheat grows.
Yang Ting, the leader of the Jia family, came to visit him.
"Uncle, my nephew is polite."
Yang Ting, who was over fifty years old, respectfully saluted Su Cheng, followed by Yang Ting's second son Yang Yu.
Su Cheng waved his hand:
"If you have something, please tell me. I want to go to the fields to see how the winter wheat grows."
Yang Ting did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly made way and said with caution:
"Uncle, today the village is handing over, saying that the master of Kaizhou yamen is coming to visit you during the day and asked me to call the front station in advance."
Su Cheng looked at Yang Ting after hearing this:
"Who is the person from Kaizhou Yamen?"
Yang Ting looked at Yang Yu next to him, and Yang Yu said cleverly:
"When I say great-grandfather, it's the words of the Kaizhou magistrate Guo Maodi, and it's the magistrate Li Xin, who will come with me."
When Su Cheng heard this, he thought of Qin Changyan and asked Yang Yu:
"I heard that you have a friend named Qin Changyan, who is a postman in the state. He embezzled dozens of taels of silver from me. I haven't followed him yet."
Yang Ting glanced at Yang Yu in a daze, not understanding why Su Cheng's idea was so wild, so he immediately went from the co-master Guo Mao to the postman Qin Changyan.
Yang Yu looked at his father's puzzled look and had to explain:
"I heard that Qin Changyan had a distant relative who was the master of the lord in Dunqiu County. This master of the lord is his brother of the co-master Guo Mao."
Yang Ting immediately understood:
"I can't blame the Marquis for saying hello in person. Master Ren Yao chanted the name letter and the second uncle of Shi Tou was not handled by Kaizhou Yamen. It turns out that this is the relationship."
Su Cheng didn't know the relationship between Guo Mao and Qin Changyan. He just remembered that Qin Changyan had a relative who was the head of the county and thought it was Guo Mao, but he didn't expect it to be.
But, it seems to be again.
"Then I won't go see Maizi anymore. I want to meet this Guo Mao, why dare he not give me face?"
Yang Ting pondered for a moment and said carefully:
"Uncle, as far as I know, there are White Lotus Sect members gathered in our northern Zhili area. At the junction of Dunqiu County and Kaizhou, there seemed to be a mess. The soldiers in the state went to suppress it, but it seemed that they could not calm the matter down."
Su Cheng was happy to hear this, and he was a professional rebel White Lotus Sect.
If it were those who were professional rebels, it would be enough for the Kaizhou Yamen to have a drink. After all, Henan’s Beicao Army was basically transferred to the capital, and almost all the available soldiers were recruited, with average combat power.
There is no problem in scaring ordinary people, but fighting with professional rebels is not enough.
"How come you die?"
Su Cheng asked.
Yang Ting nodded and said:
"It is said that one of the hundreds of households died. The guards were already scared and dared not fight."
While talking, the second uncle of the gatekeeper came to report that it was a big man from the Kaizhou yamen who handed over a famous letter and asked to see the Marquis.
Su Cheng took the famous post and took a look. It was Guo Mao, the magistrate of Kaizhou. He threw the famous post away and asked his second uncle:
"Didn't the magistrate come?"
Uncle Second shook his head:
"I don't know. I have never seen such a high-ranking official in the magistrate."
Su He came in from outside, his tone was dissatisfied:
"It's that guy Guo Mao, he actually dares to come to our door. Brother, I can't let him in."
Su Cheng said casually:
"Okay, when he comes in, you will beat him... and call Ren Yao. As long as you can't beat him to death, you two can do whatever you want."
Su He was ready to go.
Bai Yan came in with tea, his tone of concern:
"Brother, we can't afford to offend Lord Guo. The day before yesterday, I went to Dawangzhuang to the market with my second aunt. I heard a storyteller saying that Lord Guo is amazing and has killed many people. There are high officials in our northern Zhili to support him."
Guo Mao's screams sounded in the yard.
Su He carried the thin willow branches and pulled Guo Mao, who was led into the door by his second uncle.
Ren Yao came in from outside with a look of relief:
"Mr. Marquis, you didn't see Guo Mao being embarrassed by that day. Let's give this anger today. It's so comfortable."
Thinking about Guo Mao's ugly face when he held the Marquis's famous letter to the Kaizhou Government Office a few days ago in the Kaizhou Government Office and asked the Kaizhou Government Office to block people.
This whip is really relieved.
Yang Yu's eyes were shining, and he looked at the willow branches that Ren Yao and Su He were carrying, with envy. Guo Mao was insatiable. He had wanted to deal with him long ago and swallowed up some money from the Yang family. Today, he was really relieved.
Yang Ting's face was quite nervous:
"Mr. Kaizhou Yamen has provided us with a lot of convenience in the past. If we offend the Yamen, we..."
Su Cheng waved his hand to stop the nervous Yang Ting:
"I dare not talk nonsense. I just beat him Guo Mao, but I did not offend Kaizhou Yamen."
