Chapter 79
When talking about the people in the gambling dormitory, Li Qingyou sighed and said Zhang Tieniu's story, "...If you touch a word for gambling, you will almost never have a good result. If you win, you want to win again, and if you lose, you want to make a comeback. As a result, you will make a comeback. This is a vicious cycle, and I don't know what he thinks."
Li Qingyou felt very sorry for Zhang Tieniu. Although his family's conditions were average, it was mainly because his father broke one leg, but Zhang Tieniu's salary and gray income were still much better than ordinary families. He really couldn't bear to see him fall into depravity.
Ah brother pursed his lips and said nothing. The stupid guy had nothing to do with them, and he didn't care about him no matter what he did.
Li Qingyou talked about Lubo again. When she went to buy beans, she also saw a reward notice, "That bandit leader is really crazy. A group of mobs dared to fight against the regular army. I heard that the Wei family's army suffered heavy casualties."
She heard Feng Dali say about the Wei family army. Feng Dali is the yamen sent to pick up tofu in the yamen. He is responsible for sending tofu to the barracks stationed by the Wei family army outside the city every day. Otherwise, ordinary people would not even dare to approach the border, and it would be even more impossible for them to know about this.
"I heard that there were seven or eight hundred bandits. The dead on the battlefield were piled up into mountains and the ground was dyed red..." Li Qingyou remembered the fearful expression on Feng Dali's face when he said these things.
Feng Dali said that the total number of yamen runners registered in the county yamen was only 300, but now it is not in wartime, so the staffing is not full. In fact, there are only 180 people in the yamen.
Not to mention that the bandits are so fierce, even the number of people is enough to crush them. What's more, the yamen are different from the army. They usually bully the common people. If they really go to the battlefield, they will probably run faster than rabbits.
Feng Dali also said that he also went to suppress the bandits. Before the fight started, most of the yamen run away by urinating, including him, "No one is stupid. I really lost my head and didn't get anything except a few pensions and silver. The credit is all from the human guards."
"Don't let's talk about us, but the Wei family can make people beat him up?"
"There are half more casualties than the bandits, and I'm so embarrassed for them..."
Li Qingyou picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, "Fortunately, the bandits didn't enter the city, otherwise the county magistrate's position would be replaced by them, and the people would not have the idea of living a good life."
"It is impossible to enter the city. Unless they are tired of living, the court will send heavy troops to suppress the bandits." Ah brother said proudly: "But he can resist the three thousand regular troops with seven or eight hundred mobs, and make more than half of the opponent's death and injury. Even if he is defeated, he will still be honored. This bandit leader is not simple."
Lu Bo is a native of Ah Di. He grew up watching him grow up. Strictly speaking, he is half his master. He is also honored to be able to achieve such a record.
Li Qingyou knocked his head with chopsticks, "Which head do you belong to? Why are you talking to the bandits?"
Ah brother stuck out his tongue, "I'm just saying that, but I'm not wrong..."
"You still said it." Li Qingyou pinched his cheek and warned, "It's okay to say this at home, but don't go outside to say it, otherwise you might be accused of being a bandit."
"But no matter how hard you say it, those bandits are really powerful." Li Qingyou shook his head and sighed.
"That's why Qingfeng Mountain occupies the advantage of the terrain. The bandits are familiar with the terrain but the Wei family is not familiar with it. And the way of using troops is strange and the other is weird, and with exquisite formations..." Ah Di felt very surprised when he remembered what he had learned.
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, at least what happened around me is more interesting than the boring way of listening to the teaching paper.
"It seems like you understand how much you said." Looking at his proud look with shaking his head, Li Qingyou burst out laughing, and saw the corner of his puffed mouth again, and raised his hand to rub the hair on his head, "Okay, you understand, eat quickly, it's going to be cold later."
The story of Zhang Tieniu being beaten quickly spread. After all, he had a pig's head-like face, and even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it. Someone who came to buy tofu said that Tieniu's mother was sitting in the yard crying and screaming, and Qin Xiu's widow also came to the door.
After all, he is the future son-in-law, how can he be involved in gambling?
"The Qin family is planning to withdraw from the marriage, Iron Niu Niu will never do it."
"That's right, the marriage that has been signed here is a bad thing. It's not good to say about your wife in the future."
Li Qingyou was also a little worried when she heard the two neighbors gossiping. I wonder how Zhang Tieniu was doing?
It’s okay to say that the marriage is, can the people in the gambling dormitory let him go?
A few days later, I heard that the matter had been resolved. Wu Xiaohu told Li Qingyou that he was another good friend of Zhang Tieniu and he specially paid the money for Zhang Tieniu.
From his mouth, Li Qingyou realized that the gambling dormitory was run by the Shen family. No wonder those people were so rampant that they didn't even take it seriously.
"... The Zhang family took out the money to pay off the gambling debts, and someone from the yamen helped to help. This matter has finally passed, so don't worry about Brother Tie Niu." Wu Xiaohu put the money on the table, "Brother Tie Niu is embarrassed to come, let me send it to you, and you can see if it's enough."
Li Qingyou didn't know what happened to Zhang Tieniu without thinking, "How could he get involved in gambling?"
When talking about this, Wu Xiaohu was also full of complaints, "I asked Shen Si to bring it to you... I've said that he can't get involved in this thing, but he just doesn't listen. Now he's stupid."
Zhang Tieniu's two good friends didn't meet each other. Shen Si said that Wu Xiaohu was rigid and ignorant. Wu Xiaohu looked down on Shen Si and did not do things openly enough. Many times, Zhang Tieniu had to mediate between the two.
After finishing the business, Wu Xiaohu was about to say goodbye. Before leaving, he said to Li Qingyou: "Brother Tieniu listens to you the most. If you have time, please advise him carefully. Don't let go of a good life, but in the end you will be a ghost."
Li Qingyou pursed her lips. If possible, she would be willing to persuade her, but the problem now is that Zhang Tieniu didn't even see her, otherwise Wu Xiaohu wouldn't have sent her money today.
Wu Xiaohu also remembered this, and when he thought that Zhang Tieniu had already been engaged, the two of them had to avoid suspicion, it was difficult to say anything else.
"Okay, let me talk about him again when I look back. If there is something else in the yamen, I will leave first." Wu Xiaohu left the Li family and turned to Zhang Tieniu. Looking at his depressed look, he patted his shoulders, and said nothing more, turned around and left.
All you need to say is that Zhang Tieniu is not a child, and he has to think about some things himself.
Master Wei recuperated in Qingshan Town for five days and only brought his troops back early on the sixth day. During these days, Ah Di was worried every day and stayed not far from the yamen all day, for fear of hearing the news of Lu Bo being arrested.
