Chapter 10 Retaliation

It was getting darker, and the Xiang family members who had slept on the ground at Xiang Bo's house for a night stood up one after another. Xiang Kang was also awakened by Xiang Da who was sleeping next to him. Before Xiang Kang finished yawning, the second uncle who had gotten up to cook first hurriedly came in from outside the door and whispered: "Zhuang'er, go and have a look. There are still people guarding outside the yard, as if they were guests who often ate at Feng Zhong's house."

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan and others were shocked and hurriedly went out to check the situation. Xiang Kang stretched his waist long and said to his second uncle: "Uncle, it's okay. There was such a big noise last night. It would be strange if no one was watching outside the yard today. Don't worry, they dare not do anything randomly without evidence."

The second uncle nodded randomly, but his face was still worried, and it was obvious that he was still worried that the matter would be difficult to settle. As a result, Xiang Bo’s second son Xiang You hurried out of the inner room and said, "Second uncle, look at what happened to my mother. She seems to have a fever."

The second uncle was panicked when he heard this, and quickly went into the inner room to check the situation of the third uncle. Xiang Kang also followed in. Seeing that the third uncle lying on the couch was indeed a little abnormal, he also moaned in his voice when he talked to the second uncle, and asked, "Uncle San, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"My head is a little dizzy, and my body is shaking violently." The third uncle replied moaning, and asked in a low voice: "Kang'er, have your Uncle Ji gone far?"

"It must have gone far, otherwise, Feng Zhong and Wu You must have come to arrest people and confront each other." Xiang Kang analyzed and asked his second uncle again. After learning that his third uncle's forehead was indeed very hot, he hurriedly said to Xiang You: "Brother, hurry up, let's go to see a medical worker together. The third uncle should have been really scared by what happened last night."

Xiang You agreed and hurriedly went out with Xiang Kang to find a doctor to treat his mother. Several Xiang family members wanted to keep up, but Xiang Kang stopped him and said, "No need, Xiang You and I can go. You are here to guard the third uncle. Remember, no matter how others ask, they don't know. If Feng Zhong and the Youzi want to take someone, they will take out the evidence first, and let me talk about the others when I come back."

Although the Xiang family's children were young, after the incident in the past few days, Xiang Kang had already established a certain prestige among the Xiang family's children. Therefore, the Xiang family's children not only did not object, but also nodded and agreed. Xiang Kang asked Xiang You to take a piece of silk sent by Mr. Yu, and then went out with Xiang You to find a doctor.

There were indeed a few guests who often made meals at Feng Zhong’s house outside the door. When Xiang Kang and Xiang You went out, someone immediately followed him. Xiang You was inevitably nervous when he saw him. Xiang Kang ignored him and pulled Xiang You all the way straight to the clinic located on the market. Under Feng Zhong’s surveillance, he asked the doctor to treat his uncle.

The cloth of this era can be used directly as currency, and the silk sent by Mr. Yu was even more valuable. So after seeing the silk that Xiang You put on both hands, even though he knew something happened to the Xiang family last night, the medical worker in the clinic immediately brought the medicine bag and followed Xiang Kang and Xiang You to the Xiang family for treatment. The result was not as expected by Xiang Kang. Because of his overwork, he was frightened last night. The third uncle really fell ill and was still very ill. Fortunately, he found it in time and should not be in danger of life.

The prescription was prescribed. When the second uncle was busy boiling medicine for his third uncle, there was another noise outside the door. Xiang Kang hurriedly went out to check the situation again. Only then did he learn that it was Xiang Guan and Xiang Han who were dissatisfied with Feng Zhong's guests who had been monitoring outside the hospital. He had a dispute with them outside the hospital and almost got into action. Xiang Kang knew something was wrong, so he hurried out and grabbed Xiang Zhuang, who had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and whispered: "Brother, you can't be fooled. At this time, you will have the reason to catch you and ask questions."

"What should we do if these bitches keep here?" Xiang Guan pointed to the guests responsible for monitoring his family, "As soon as we go out, do we still want to live a life?"

After glanced at the malicious couple Feng Zhong, Xiang Kang whispered: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with them, but don't attack them. If I'm right, Feng Zhong should have asked the servants he usually raises to deliberately provoke us to attack, so that we will commit the crime of private fights, and Feng Zhong has reason to arrest us and ask for confessions."

In the Qin Dynasty, private legal battles were a serious crime. Xiang Guan had always seen an unlucky guy arrested and imprisoned for being injured by fighting. After hearing Xiang Kang's words, Xiang Kang took the opportunity to pull and pull him and Xiang Han back to the yard and closed the yard gate. Feng Zhong's guest laughed loudly behind him, intending to anger the Xiang family's children, but Xiang Kang ignored him and pretended not to hear it.

Of course, things would not be over. At noon, the third uncle's fever, who had taken medicine, had just subsided. Feng Zhong's deputy begged the thief and brought two pavilions to the Xiang brothers. He asked the Xiang brothers to show the two silk coupons yesterday, and directly stated that if the Xiang brothers could not explain the origin of the two silks, they would arrest people.

There is indeed a Qin law that stipulates that there must be a coupon as evidence for the sale of goods. Without coupons, the government has reason to suspect that the source of your thing is illegal. At the least, it will be investigated, and at the worst, it will be punished. Therefore, Xiang Kang had no extra choice. He could only hold Xiang Zhuang and others who were furious, slow down his voice and explain the source of silk to the thief, and promised that if Mr. Yu did not admit that silk was given by him, he would be willing to accept the crime.

"You said this. My official will immediately send someone to Yan Jiting for investigation. If Mr. Yu said that there was no such thing, don't blame me for asking the person for it."

With a grin, he threw down this sentence and asked the thief to lead the two pavilions to leave in a big manner. Then, it was natural that as soon as they left, the irritable Xiang Guan, Xiang Han and others scolded their mother. Xiang Zhuang also frowned and said to Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, this is not a solution. Feng Zhong's bastard clearly wants to punish us. If we continue to tolerate this, the Feng surname will definitely only gain a slight craze and find a way to bully us."

"Of course it's not a solution." Xiang Kang replied: "If I'm right, even if Feng Zhong found out that the two pieces of silk were indeed given to us by the Yu family, he would not have done this matter. He would only find another way to catch us and force us to explain where the third uncle was. Maybe he would even attack the female family of our Xiang family and find an excuse to catch our uncle and ask questions."

"What should I do?" Xiang Zhuang asked quickly.

"Don't worry, I've come up with a way to deal with that Feng Zhong, but today my third uncle suddenly became ill and needed our care. I don't want to do it immediately." Xiang Kang replied with a smile, and said, "As long as you follow my arrangements and follow my methods. I can guarantee that Feng Zhong will have to stop obediently, and maybe he will come to the door to apologize and apologize to his uncle and our brothers."

"What's the solution?" Xiang Guan next to him asked quickly, and said, "Did you catch that Feng Zhong out and beat him up?"

"Don't do anything wrong. I'll beat you a long time ago today. I'll have to wait for you to do it?" Xiang Zhuang scolded and asked Xiang Kang again: "Xiang Kang, what's the solution? Tell me, as long as it works, we will all follow your arrangements."

"Make sure it works." Xiang Kang answered confidently and said with a smile: "From tomorrow, we brothers will be divided into two groups, and we will be..."

…………

Not to mention, in order to obtain the evidence of the Xiang brothers' crimes, and after asking the source of the two silks, Feng Zhong really sent someone to Yanjiting, which bordered Shilingting Pavilion that day, and found Yu Jian, the current head of the Yu family, to ask if this was really the case. Although Yu Jian admitted that the two silks were indeed given to the Xiang brothers himself, he did not cause any trouble for the Xiang brothers. Yu Zhi, who had been disliked by the Xiang brothers, sneered and said to his father: "I still have the face to say that I would use the power to help our Yu family solve the trouble. It was only a little more than a day that a small pavilion chief bullied them. Isn't it even dare to put one of them farts?"

"Look at those scattered children." Yu Jian also sighed and said, "Look at it again, see how those scattered children solve this problem. Fortunately, we don't have too many things. Even if we are deceived by those scattered children, we can still treat it as a beggar. There is no need to feel too distressed."

"A pig, sheep and three chickens are pretty small? There are more than a dozen jars of good wine. These things are thrown away in vain. My father doesn't feel sorry for me!" This is a comment made by Yu Jian's beautiful young daughter Yu Gui after learning about the situation. She also has a worse impression of Xiang Kang, who takes the lead in eating and drinking.

…………

Let’s take a look at the situation on Feng Zhong, the leader of Shilingting, which was exactly the same as Xiang Kang expected. Although he found out that the two expensive silks were indeed gifts given to the Xiang brothers by the Yu family, Feng Zhong, who was complained by his colleague Wu You, was still unwilling to give up because of the failure to arrest the person. He roared as he patted the Tingshe case: “This matter is not over! You must find a way to get the handle of those ruined children and force them to explain the whereabouts of the murderer Xiang Bo.”

"Prince Pavilion, why don't you find an excuse to arrest their two aunts and ask?" Quezue said treacherously: "Those destitute children are the stones in the pit, they are smelly and hard, and they are really not easy to deal with, but their aunt is a woman, so they must be much more courageous. As long as they can ask something from their mouths, it will be much easier to deal with those decent children."

"Good idea." Feng Zhong heard the applause and immediately ordered the thief: "Starting tomorrow, you will keep a close eye on their two aunts. As long as you find an excuse, you will immediately catch them and ask questions."

He asked the thief to agree and patted his chest to ensure the completion of the task. Feng Zhong's mood did not improve much. He still said to himself in his heart: "You have to speed up your movements and quickly take the evidence of those ruined children to make merit. Otherwise, my position as the pavilion chief would probably be saved. The new county magistrate has disliked me from the beginning."

The book shows that the reason why Feng Zhong, the head of Shilingting Pavilion, targeted the children of the Xiang family in this way, was not only because of his duty to arrest Xiang Bo, who was on the run, another important reason was that he was lucky this year and made two mistakes in the process of the work, which led to the newly appointed Xiaxiang County Magistrate who was very dissatisfied with his performance and had already spoken out to remove him from his post and serve as the head of Shilingting Pavilion. Feng Zhong was naturally worried when he heard the news. In addition to trying every means to flatter the Sima, he also wanted to make contributions and ensure his position quickly, so he cared about this opportunity so much. However, although Feng Zhong's abacus was beautiful, what he never expected was...

The accident suddenly appeared in the morning of the next day. After sleeping soundly with his not-so-ugly wife for a night, the next morning, when Feng Zhong was still having breakfast, a pavilion soldier suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that Xiang Zhuang and Xiang You, among the Xiang family's children, did not know what medicine they had taken, but they actually ran to the Tingshe Gate early in the morning to guard them, squatted beside the Tingshe Gate and played on Six Bos. They asked them not to answer anything, nor would they drive them away.

"Is there something wrong? What do they want to do?"

Feng Zhong was surprised and quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out, and went out to check the situation in person. As expected, Xiang Zhuang, who is currently recognized as the best skill among the Xiang family, and Xiang Bo's second son Xiang You, were really squatting beside the Tingshe gate, playing Liubo, which is similar to military chess. Feng Zhong was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see us playing chess?" Xiang Zhuang looked up and asked back bluntly, with a fierce look in his eyes at Feng Zhong.

"This is the gate of the Pavilion! The place where you catch the thieves, who will allow you to play chess here?" Feng Zhong asked.

"I dare to ask the superior official, that law stipulates that you are not allowed to play chess next to the gate of the pavilion?" Xiang You asked sarcastically, "Are you blocking your way? Or is it hindering your thieves from catching them?"

"this……."

Feng Zhong was speechless and couldn't think of anything to refute Xiang You for a while. As a result, Xiang Zhuang suddenly pressed the hilt of the sword in his waist, and with a clang, his sword was unsheathed, staring at Feng Zhong even more fiercely, like a tiger and beast staring at a sheep! Feng Zhong, who had heard of Xiang Zhuang's skills, was shocked and subconsciously took a step back. While holding the hilt of the sword on his waist, he shouted in fear: "You..., what do you want to do?"
