Chapter 66: Shi Qian Breaks Through the Five Elements Alone (2)
Now that Shi Jin asked, Lei Heng sighed, and his memories were brought back to those days after separation.
Lei Heng was secretly helped by Shi Jin and others in Shuangfeng Town to defeat the horse bandits. Soon the news spread to Yuncheng County. The magistrate of Yuncheng County was very happy after hearing this. , there are three people that the magistrate is optimistic about. One is Song Jiang, who is a police officer. Later, he disappeared because of a murder case. The other two are Zhu Wu and Lei Heng. These two people are extremely powerful. If they stay with the magistrate, they will not only be able to To frighten the thieves, even the troops who came down from Liangshan Mountain were able to resist for a while and save his life to escape from Huayin. However, because of the Song Jiang case, Lei Heng was charged with freeing fugitives. Yan Po pressed hard. There was no choice but to send him to Shuangfeng Town to avoid the limelight. The magistrate originally thought that Lei Heng would suffer for half a year or eight months. After this matter was over, he would try to recruit him back. However, who Thinking that Lei Heng had just gone to Shuangfeng Town and made a great contribution. He not only saved Shuangfeng Town, but also killed the "Liangshan leader" Three Eyes. This was enough to make the magistrate happy and give the magistrate an excuse to kill him. Lei Heng transferred back.
After Zhu Wu received the transfer order, he packed his parcel, picked up his knife, and took the road back to Yuncheng County. When he arrived at home, he first met with his mother, changed some clothes, went to the public gate to sign a reply, and then came straight to the house. I paid a visit to the magistrate, replied, handed over the official documents and approval slips, and returned home for a short rest. I continued to calligraphy and painting in the county every day, and listened to the magistrate's orders.
On this day, when Zhu Wu went to the east of the county government office, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Hey, when will you be back?"
When Lei Heng turned around to look, it was Li Xiaoer, a helper from the county.
Lei Heng replied: "I came here just the day before yesterday. I saw you were happily going, but where were you going?"
Li Xiaoer said: "I've been out in Dutou for a long time. I'm afraid I don't know that there's a new actress here from Tokyo recently. She's both beautiful and beautiful. She's called Bai Xiuying. That girl is here to visit Dutou. She's away on official business." , now living in Goulan, singing and singing various tunes, there is a performance every day at this time, whether it is dancing, playing, or singing. Take a look, it’s a nice noodle.”
After hearing this, Lei Heng, although he didn't care about those women, he was currently at a leisurely pace and didn't know where to go for entertainment, so he and Li Xiaoer went to the hook bar to have a look.
I saw many gold-lettered banners hanging on the hooked door, and a flagpole hanging on the back of the body. After entering, Lei Heng went to sit in the first row above the green dragon.
On the stage, the Xiaoyuan play was being played. After the performance of the theater play was over, I saw an old man wearing a turban, a brown shirt with a collar, a soap bar, and brought up a fan. Kaike said: "The old man is from Tokyo, Bai Yuqiao is the same. Now that he is old, he only relies on his daughter Xiuying to sing, dance and play the piano to serve the officials all over the world."
Speaking of this, Bai Xiuying only heard the sound of the gong. In the morning, Bai Xiuying paid homage to all directions on the stage. She picked up the gong stick, moved it like scattering beans, patted the boundary, and read out four seven-character poems: New birds chirp, old birds return, The old sheep wins over the thin and fat lambs. Food and clothing are really difficult in life, and they are not as good as mandarin ducks flying around.
Lei Heng couldn't help but cheer after hearing this.
Then Bai Xiuying said: "Today's Xiuying signboard clearly says this story, it is a romantic and romantic style, called 'Yuzhang City Shuang Jian Chases Su Qing'," After saying that, she started singing again, singing He also said that everyone in the shared shed was drinking non-stop, and Bai Xiuying sang to the top of Wutou, and Bai Yuqiao shouted: "'Although I don't have the gold skills to buy horses, I want to impress the supervisor Ming,' the judge is happy to applaud, my son , just go down and walk up once, and when you come down, you will see the courtyard book that complements the drums."
Bai Xiuying picked up the plate, pointed to the inside and said: "The gate of wealth rises, the land of good fortune lives, the land of auspiciousness goes up, the land of prosperity goes up, when the hand is in front of you, the rest will be empty."
Bai Yuqiao said: "My son, let's go downstairs. The officials are waiting to reward you."
Bai Xiuying held the plate and came to Lei Heng first.
Lei Heng smiled and dug into his pocket, but he didn't expect that he would come out today without a penny on his body.
Lei Heng stretched out his hand from his clothes and said apologetically: "I forgot today that I didn't bring any money with me. I'll reward you with it tomorrow."
Bai Xiuying looked at Lei Heng's appearance and couldn't help but smile and said: "'The first jealousy is not as strong as the second one's jealousy'. When an official sits in his position, he can make a mark."
Lei Hengtong's face turned red and he explained honestly: "Girl, don't blame me for bringing any bad luck. I actually didn't bring any money with me when I came out. I couldn't pick it up and give it to you, so a few taels of silver is nothing."
When Bai Xiuying heard this, she thought it was Lei Heng who was teasing her on purpose. It was not like she had never encountered such a thing before. Then she laughed and said, "Since the officials came to listen to the singing, why didn't they remember to bring money out?"
Lei Heng said guiltily: "I will reward you three to five taels of silver. It doesn't matter even ten taels of silver. I just regret that I forgot to bring it today."
When Bai Xiuying looked at Lei Heng's appearance, he really looked like he had no money. He was not teasing her with a smile. She immediately stopped smiling and said: "The official saw that he didn't have a penny today. How can he even mention it?" Two taels of silver, are you trying to teach me how to stop drinking when looking at the plum blossoms, and how to paint cakes to satisfy my hunger?"
Bai Yuqiao shouted: "My son, how can you be so blind? You don't even look at whether he is from the city or the village. You only ask him what he is asking for, and you went over to ask the benefactor who knew the matter to ask for a title."
Lei Heng knew that he had been in Shuangfeng Town for more than ten days, and his skin color was a little rough and dark due to the yellow sand and the scorching sun. It seemed that he had really lost his former energetic demeanor. However, the last sentence made Lei Heng say this. He was a bit embarrassed. After all, Lei Heng had some reputation in Yuncheng County. Being insulted by an opera singer in such a roundabout way really made Lei Heng unhappy. He immediately shouted: "Wu Na cell leader, why am I not Xiao?" matter,”
Bai Yuqiao snorted coldly, met Lei Heng's gaze and said, "If you don't save this young man from having horns on his head,"
Everyone stood up together, and Lei Heng was furious and cursed: "You disobedient slave, how dare you insult me?"
Bai Yuqiao said: "I'm going to scold you, the three villages that use cattle. Why bother?" Someone who recognized him shouted: "No way, this is the head of Leidu in this county." Bai Yuqiao said: "I'm afraid it's a donkey tendon." head,'"
Lei Heng couldn't bear it any longer. He jumped off the stage from his chair and grabbed Bai Yuqiao. He punched the thin face with one punch after another, causing the prison chief's lips to fall apart and the corners of his mouth to drip with blood. .
Seeing how fierce the beating was, everyone came to dismantle it and persuaded Lei Heng to go back first. The people in the hook fence also parted unhappy.
However, Bai Xiuying refused to obey. As soon as Lei Heng walked away, she pointed in the direction he left and started yelling. Everyone rushed to persuade him, but it didn't matter if he didn't persuade him. This was like being on fire. The oil was poured on it, causing Bai Xiuying to immediately vow to torture Lei Heng.
When everyone heard what she said, they were all sweating for Lei Heng. It turned out that Bai Xiuying and the new magistrate had been in contact with each other since they were in Tokyo. Now it was because the magistrate had taken root in Yuncheng County, Bai Xiuying Xiuying came to Yuncheng County specially to open a hook fence. When Bai Xiuying saw that her father was beaten by Lei Heng and was seriously injured and humiliated in public, she immediately called a sedan and went to the magistrate's office to tell: "Lei Heng beat my father. The purpose of disturbing Goulan is to bully the slave family,"
After hearing this, the magistrate said, "Write a complaint quickly. I'm sorry for you saying this." Although the magistrate likes Lei Heng, he is also a person who can't stand the "window". At the moment, Bai Xiuying's A few words of embarrassment and jealousy stirred up the anger, so he immediately asked Bai Yuqiao to write a complaint, examine the injuries, and appoint witnesses to seek bad luck for Lei Heng.
The county government officials and Lei Henghao all came to ask the magistrate for advice. However, what happened was that the woman stayed in the county and never left the magistrate. And her mouth was extremely smart. If someone else tried to persuade her, she would He had to contradict him ten times, but no one who was involved could say anything useful, and the county magistrate was not a fool. If he wanted to be stable in Yuncheng County in the future, he knew that he could not do without Zhu Wu and Lei Heng, and now he had the idea of protecting Lei Heng in his heart. However, she couldn't resist Bai Xiuying's coquettish behavior. Unexpectedly, she knew that the county said no, and insisted on waiting for the magistrate to send people to capture Lei Heng. After being yoked, he was led out to give orders to the public.
The woman wanted to show off her skills, and also wanted to use this opportunity to let everyone in the city know how powerful Bai Xiuying was, and to relieve her bad temper after being bullied that day, so she went to pester the magistrate again and act coquettishly with him, determined to make Lei He was held in front of the Goulan Gate and paraded in front of the public. After hearing this, the magistrate thought to himself that it was just a public demonstration. There was no physical pain, and it was far less likely to hurt the life of the official, so this kind of torture was nothing. The magistrate made an agreement with Bai Xiuying, and if Lei Heng did this, the matter would be cancelled. Bai Xiuying agreed, and the magistrate immediately issued an order.
The next day, the officers who received the order from the county magistrate took Lei Heng outside Bai Xiuying's hook fence. However, these officers were all Lei Heng's people who worked together on business, and they were very close. No one was willing to take him there today. However, Wearing prison clothes, she walked in front of the officers and others like ordinary people, while the officers helped to hold the bracelets in their hands and the wooden shackles on their backs. She walked to Bai Xiuying's hooked door in such a swagger, she looked like Lei Heng. It was as if he had brought a group of officers to investigate Bai Xiuying. Not only had his prestige not been compromised at all, but his arrogance had actually become three points more arrogant.
Bai Xiuying took a peek upstairs and thought to herself: "Since I have said something to embarrass Lei Heng, how could I let him be so presumptuous today? If I don't suppress his arrogance, how can I, Bai Xiuying, be here in the future?" "Establish a foothold in Yuncheng County." Thinking of this, Bai Xiuying made up her mind and quickly walked out of the Goulan gate, sat down in the tea house opposite, sent someone to call the officers over, and said in a bad tone: " You all have a relationship with him, so if you let him go so freely at my door, wouldn't it embarrass me? The magistrate and Xianggong asked you to escort him, but you are doing it as a favor. Sooner or later, I told the magistrate, I can't see it anymore your skin,"
