Chapter Thirty-One
"Have I ever taken any rice from your house?"
Qin Zhong said angrily. Looking at the black beggars outside, Qin Zhong finally understood why there was the title of "disguised person". However, these beggars can no longer be called disguised persons. When they came here, they were completely blackmailing people.
"Speak again whether to take it or not."
The beggar in front of him pushed Qin Zhong aside and led his people into Qin Zhong's house. He opened the pot and saw that as the beggar said, there were chicken, duck, fish, mutton, and various dishes. There was still half a pot of rice left in the pot, which was also hot and hot.
The beggars who followed him were hungry for many days, and they didn't eat much every day, and they were drinking water. When they saw these rice, some of them wanted to grab them.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this is more than a meter, everyone has it, everyone has it."
The beggar didn't eat it, so he arranged to take the bowl of Qin Zhong's family to serve rice and hand it to the beggars. It was strange that the pot of Qin Zhong's family was not big. There were about a hundred people serving rice here, each of which was a big bowl. There was still leftover rice and leftovers in the pot. These beggars were holding bowls and chopsticks and all stewed rice at the door. They had to come over to ask for another portion after they had finished eating earlier.
Seeing this situation, Zhier didn't know that he had met the true Buddha, so he pulled Qin Zhong and knelt on the side, constantly kowtowing to the beggar who was serving rice. However, the beggar who served rice did not look at the two of them, and was determined to take care of the beggars outside.
"You two are strange. You kneel down at me, a beggar. If you really want to kneel down, you should kneel down the people outside."
The beggar laughed, walked out of the kitchen, looked around the courtyard, and said, "This courtyard is your ancestral property, but what you wear and eat now is all the things of us beggars."
Qin Zhong and Zhier were puzzled behind him, but they followed the beggar step by step. They knew that this beggar was a master, and today they brought so many beggars to their door, so they must have a say.
"Why, I'm eating too much today. Come and ask the beggar for my meal?"
The beggar waved his hand and said, "We have given the meal money for a long time, and the food is far from enough now!"
After saying this, the beggar sat in front of the threshold, raised his leg on the other leg, and closed his eyes and shook his body forward and backward.
Qin Zhong walked to the beggar and was about to salute and ask again, when a beggar who had eaten his food came over.
"Where are you from?"
Qin Zhong looked at the group of beggars, seeing that they had men, women, young and old, like refugees from the same place. However, the capital was close to, but I had never heard of natural disasters and somewhere escaped.
"We are all from Daijia Village, eighty miles east of the capital."
The old beggar who walked over said, sitting on the ground, also beside Qin Zhong.
"Eighty miles east, Daijia Village."
Qin Zhong thought about it and was surprised and said, "Although there is a road in your village that has expanded and occupied your house, it will not let you fall to this point."
Among the projects that Qin Zhong has done recently, there is a relatively slow terrain. The roads in Daijia Village are expanded, and it is said that they can save 7,000 taels of silver. Regarding the compensation in Daijia Village, Qin Zhong ate 800 taels of money here.
"The officers in Daijia Village are famous for their blood hats."
The old beggar sat on the ground and said, "Where did he go, the bandits in that place are gone... But there are so many bandits in this peaceful world? The people around him just slaughtered the village, killed people, and gathered up the number. He brought people to drive us. How dare we say more? He took all the land and money in our village. We were all afraid that he would suppress the bandits, and the officials there also colluded with him. When we went to the capital, we just wanted to find someone who could manage the affairs..."
This was quite desperate, and Qin Zhong couldn't help feeling sad after hearing this.
The officers are blood-haired. Qin Zhong once heard that the more bandits are suppressed, the greater the military achievements are. This has led to some officers looking for trouble in remote areas without any trouble. Now the transportation is inconvenient and the door is relatively large. The common people do not have much contact, and even if such a village slaughter happens, there will be no place to reach out.
"Do you understand why we are coming to your house for a meal?"
The beggar sitting on the threshold sneered.
“It should be eaten, it should be eaten.”
Qin Zhong bowed and laughed.
"It's time to eat, but after eating and drinking, they were still left on the streets, and I, Lin Dong, wouldn't agree."
Lin Dong looked up at Qin Zhong, clearly saying that this matter was about to stop here.
Qin Zhong looked at Lin Dong carefully and saw that this man was dressed in rags and brought so many beggars to the door. He knew that he was here to seek justice, but he was also looking for the right person. He just followed the person who was scrambling to get money and some kickbacks to rebuild the village for these hundreds of people.
"The Supreme Immortal, if you want to rebuild the village for them, it is really difficult to deal with the small amount of manpower."
Qin Zhong bowed to Lin Dong again.
"If you can't do it, you won't ask someone else to do it?"
Lin Dong sneered at Qin Zhong and said, "If you have weak strength, go find someone with strong strength. A man is a real man. How can he take it if he is awkward?"
When Qin Zhong heard this, he was blessed to his heart and immediately realized that the true immortal in front of him was giving the beggar a way to live and also wanted to save him. It seemed that if he gave the beggar a way to go, his terrible disease would be cured.
He bowed and said again, just as he was about to say something, Qin Zhong looked up and saw that there was no sign of a beggar on the threshold.
Lin Dong, Lin Dong...
Qin Zhong said to Zhi'er, "I remembered that Baoyu once told me that the original name of Huanzhen Taoist was Lin Dong. The person who had just now was Huanzhen Taoist!"
When Zhi'er heard the name Huanzhen Taoist, he immediately knelt down in the direction of Cuihuan Mountain.
"Hey, why are we still making money for the bottom of the bowl?"
“I have it here too.”
"Mom, look at the bottom of my bowl, there is silver."
"My dog is no longer hot, but he has been hot for several days."
"My body feels better, too."
The beggars who had eaten here not only found money at the bottom of the bowl, but were also surprised to find that the injuries caused by long-distance travel and hunger and cold were all cured. When they heard the name of Huanzhen Taoist, they also bowed down to the direction of Cuihuan Mountain.
"Young Master!"
The maid from Qin Zhong's family ran out and said, "You asked me to send them money, but after I entered the door, I found that the 800 taels of silver you had left were gone."
Qin Zhong nodded and looked at the beggar in front of the door and knew that the silver they had received was from the 800 taels of kickback he had eaten. There are now a hundred people here, and the 800 taels of silver in their hometown is enough for them to live for a year, but in this capital, it only took a few months.
In the past few months, it is probably the deadline given to him by the Taoist Huanzhen.
"Smart, we write paper."
Qin Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "It involves a lot of things. It is not something we can do if we want to solve it peacefully... We wrote the paper and handed it to Mr. Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion. Mr. Jia Jing followed the Huanzhen Taoist in Cuihuanshan to practice Taoism. He has a sense of integrity. Now he manages Ningguo Mansion, and the family style of Ningguo Mansion has changed. Such a thing can only be properly resolved by Mr. Jia Jing."
Qin Zhong finally wanted to lift it up, and Lin Dong brought the person to his doorstep. If he did nothing, he would not know how retribution such a great immortal would give him.
"I'm sorry to Baoyu for this matter."
Smarter said hesitantly holding white paper and ink.
"We're leaving."
Qin Zhong wrote down the paper with a pen, went outside the door, found the beggars, and told them in detail, and even said that he wanted the beggars to sign and print them, and sued the matter. The beggars rushed to print all the seals.
Holding the paper, Qin Zhong looked up and down again, and finally saw the red marks on the left and right sides of the handwriting. Waiting for the ink to dry, he stuffed the paper into his arms and walked towards Ningguo Mansion.
After all, Qin Zhong was Qin Keqing's younger brother. When Qin Keqing was in Ningguo Mansion, everyone in the mansion said she was good, especially her father-in-law. Therefore, Qin Zhong still has face and a familiar person in Ningguo Mansion.
After learning that Qin Zhong asked to see Jia Jing, the servants in the mansion asked him to wait first. After informing Jia Jing, Jia Jing received Qin Zhong. After Qin Zhong took out the paper and let Jia Jing see the paper mentioned above and below, Jia Jing's expression suddenly changed.
Recently, Jia Jing's heart has been greatly increased, and he is the most dissatisfied with such injustice. He also saw that the matter involved Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lian, and Jia Jing were even more dissatisfied and personally sent Qin Zhong away. Jia Jing did not go back home and went straight to Rongguo Mansion.
"Respect the master."
In Rongguo Mansion Courtyard, Wang Xifeng happened to see Jia Jing and hurried forward to salute.
"Where is Baoyu and Jia Lian?"
Jia Jing asked coldly.
What a delicate figure Wang Xifeng, when he saw Jia Jing's expression was not good, he knew something was wrong and said, "They were both outsiders, sometimes east, sometimes west, sometimes at the prince's mansion, sometimes in the household department. How could I know where they are? Even if I come back now, maybe I am in the old lady's room."
The old lady Shi of the Jia family loves this younger generation the most. Jia Lian stole the food on Wang Xifeng's birthday and held a sword to kill Wang Xifeng. In the eyes of the old lady, Jia Baoyu slept with Jiang Yuhan, the Qi official of the Zhongshun Wang Mansion, and was outsourcing. Because he was close to Jin Chuan'er, the maid in his mother's room, it caused Jin Chuan'er to die. In the eyes of the old lady, it was nothing.
Not to mention the death, Jin Chuan'er in Mrs. Wang's room is morally a backup for Jia Zheng, but Jia Zheng is too "righteous" and never gives up his face. If Jia Zhen was replaced by Ningguo Mansion, then this would be Baoyu's concubine.
From this we can see that Old Lady Shi protects her under her completely spoils her.
Now, no matter how angry Jia Jing is, when he comes to the old lady, he will never fight against these two people. Moreover, Baoyu has become sensible now, and Jia Lian is still in charge of the outside family business...
Wang Xifeng's abacus is pretty good.
As soon as Jia Jing arrived in the old lady's room, the sound of slapping in the face reached outside.
"Baoyu, Jia Lian, you all kneel down for me!"
