At the beginning of the establishment of the intelligence camp, Lin Chong had a conversation with Shi Qian in the study.
At that time, the two talked about a lot of issues in intelligence collection.
It was also at that time that Lin Chong "accidentally" revealed his knowledge of the east side of Yuncheng County.
Chao Baozheng of Xicun was very interested, so he sent someone to pay attention to Chao Gai's situation.
This time it was also an incident that the minions of the intelligence battalion overheard.
In fact, this incident had nothing to do with Liangshan.
It was entirely a personal matter that happened to Chao Gai.
The man then finished explaining the situation. , Shi Qian didn't take it seriously.
He happened to be chatting with Lin Chong today, and occasionally thought of it and said it out.
It turns out that there was an old man named Liu in Dongxi Village.
He never married a wife because his family was poor when he was young.
As a result, he had no children and no one to support him in his old age.
Fortunately, he was still in good health.
He collected some firewood and carried it to Yuncheng every day.
Go to the county to sell, and after selling, use the money from selling firewood to buy some corn and exchange it for some vegetables.
One person can live frugally, and he can fill his stomach and make a living.
There is a Xixi Village across the water from Dongxi Village.
Chao Gai robbed the stone pagoda of Xixi Village, and he just got the title of the King of Pagodas.
There is a big family in Xixi Village, a famous local rich man, whose surname is Zhao, people near and far call him Zhao Yuanwai.
This member Zhao is a kind person.
He usually does good things, builds bridges and roads, and makes many good friends.
He has a very good reputation in the local area.
However, this member Zhao's family is not prosperous.
He has married several wives and has never given birth to a boy and a half girls. , it was not until the age of forty that a concubine gave birth to a son.
Zhao Yuanwai was very happy to have a son, so he named his son Zhao Xing.
It not only meant that the family business was prosperous, but also meant that he was happy that the Zhao family had a successor.
For his only son, Zhao Yuanwai He is so pampering that he really wants the moon but not the stars.
The first priority in everything is to make his son happy.
Because he doted on his son so much and was reluctant to scold him, as Zhao Xing grew up, he developed an arrogant and domineering character, always getting into trouble and causing trouble.
However, everyone also respected his father.
As a matter of fact, Zhao Yuanwai would ignore him as long as he didn't go too far.
If he really went too far, he would tell his father about it.
Zhao Yuanwai would personally apologize to him every time.
They will also compensate others with a certain amount of money as compensation.
But the more Zhao Yuanwai behaves like this, the more powerful Zhao Xing feels that he is.
He always thinks that no matter what trouble he gets into, his father can settle it for him.
Anyway, his family has a lot of money, and the worst he can do is pay more.
Therefore, Zhao Xing The troubles he got into became more and more serious, and the things he did became more and more outrageous, and even began to become unreasonable.
On this day, Old Man Liu chopped a load of firewood, tied it neatly, and carried it with a pole as usual.
He was going to sell it in the county town in exchange for some rice.
He had already eaten the last bit of rice at home last night.
It would be convenient if he didn't exchange it for more today.
He is going to be hungry.
As he grows older, Old Man Liu feels that his body is getting worse day by day.
He usually can chop and bundle this load of firewood in less than half a day, but now it takes him two full days to finish it. .

This is also the reason why there is a food shortage crisis in the family.
The money from the sale of this load of firewood cannot buy much rice.
Excluding buying some necessities such as salt, it can only barely sustain two days of rations.
In the past, it was easy to say that I could chop a load of firewood every day.
In this way, I would have some money left over to buy rice.
I could occasionally buy some vegetables or meat.
If I was really greedy, I could also buy a glass of wine.
But now it’s no longer possible.
The speed of cutting firewood is getting slower and slower, and as the situation has been bad in the past two years, the price of food has also continued to rise, so now we can only make ends meet.
As usual, Old Man Liu sold firewood, bought rice, put the small rice bag into his waist, picked up the pole and prepared to put it on his shoulder, and then went home, but just carrying the pole caused trouble.
As soon as Old Man Liu was carrying the pole, he suddenly heard an ouch behind him.
It turned out that Old Man Liu didn't pay attention and just hit a person on the head with the pole.
The hit was not a big deal, as long as he had to pay compensation.
He just apologized and it was over.
No one would argue with an old man like Old Man Liu.
But what a coincidence, Old Man Liu touched the pole with his precious son, Zhao Xing.
Because Zhao Xing had nothing to do, he came to the county with a few villagers he usually played with to have fun.
When he was walking, someone hit him with a pole.
He thought he was the eldest son of Zhao.
He had not been touched since he was a child.
Having been touched, let alone beaten, I immediately felt that I had been greatly insulted.
As soon as Old Man Liu heard someone behind him, he knew he had bumped into someone.
He quickly took the pole off his shoulders and turned around, wanting to see who he had hurt and to apologize to them.
When he turned around and took a look, he was shocked because Zhao Xing was considered a celebrity in the eight villages in the ten miles apart.
Although the two of them had never spoken to each other, they could always see each other in the two villages next to each other.
When Old Man Liu saw that he had hit Zhao Xing, the son of member Zhao, he thought that this was bad, because everyone nearby knew that this Zhao Xing was not a good man, and he would cause trouble even if nothing happened.
What's more, he was beaten by himself, so Old Man Liu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Mr.
Zhao, saying, He said, "Oh, it's Mr.
Zhao.
The little old man was anxious to go home.
He didn't take care of you for a moment and bumped into you with a pole.
I don't know if he hurt you or not.
I'm really sorry.
I'll give it to you.
"I apologized."
Old man Liu quickly apologized to Mr.
Zhao and nodded.
Zhao Xing was beaten with a pole for no reason, and he was feeling angry.
When he heard what Old Man Liu said, no matter who he was or whether he meant it or not, he immediately cursed loudly, "You old man, you have eyes on your butt." , nothing Therefore, you have to hit me with a pole.
Do you know that I have never been hit by anyone since I was a child?
How about you?
The pole hit me on the head with a pole, causing a bruise on my head. , there are stars in my eyes, how can you settle this account?"
When the villagers following him heard what Zhao Xing said, they all started shouting: "Yes, you dare to beat our young master.
I think this old dog is tired of living.
What do you think I should do?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I won't give you anything today."
Once our young master explains it, you can’t even think about going back well."
Pedestrians passing by in the county town heard the commotion here, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.
At this time, Chao Gai happened to be passing by in the county town.
When he saw someone making a noise over there, he wanted to go over and take a look, but when he thought He made an appointment, and the time was coming soon, so he continued to move forward without stopping.
Here, when Old Man Liu saw that Zhao Xing was really unyielding towards him, he begged again, "It's wrong for me to hit Mr.
Zhao, but it's the young man who hit me.
Mr.
Zhao, please consider the friendship between your two villages and miss me."
For the sake of being a useless old man, I will be grateful if you forgive me this time."
Zhao Xing is a man who is used to being arrogant and domineering.
How could he listen to what Old Man Liu said?
He immediately cursed, "Who has the patience to recognize you, an old man?
Don't try to get close to me from now on.
I tell you that you hurt me today.
If you don't compensate me, You don’t want me to let you go for ten taels of silver."
The gang of villagers also shouted loudly, "Yes, pay for it.
If you hurt our young master, I will take care of you by asking you to pay ten taels.
Do you know how valuable our young master's body is?"
When the old man Liu heard that Zhao Xing wanted him to pay ten taels of silver, he immediately trembled with fear and complained.
He was so poor that he could hardly eat, but how could he have the ten taels of silver to compensate him?
He also thought of Zhao Xing.
Xing was rich and powerful, but he was also extremely ruthless.
Anyone who offended him would be bullied miserably by him, and he would immediately cry loudly and sadly.
After hearing what Zhao Xing said and seeing Old Man Liu's pitiful appearance, the onlookers all complained about him.
They pointed at Zhao Xing, and some even came out to plead for Old Man Liu, hoping that Zhao Xing would let Liu Han go because he was old.
This time, he has the right to be merciful and merciful, and leave a trace behind so that we can meet each other easily in the future.
But who is this Zhao Xing?
How could he care about this?
When he saw that Old Man Liu was just crying without paying any compensation, he immediately became furious and snatched Old Man Liu's grain bag from his waist, and then poured out all the rice in it without any explanation.
On the ground, he shouted, "If you don't pay, I will search it myself.
It's best not to let me find the money, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
When Old Man Liu saw that all the grain he had worked so hard to get had been thrown to the ground by Zhao Xing, he quickly went over to grab the rice bag, but Zhao Xing could not follow his wishes.
When Old Man Liu came over to grab the bag, he just kicked it.
Kick him to the ground.
When Old Man Liu saw that all his food had been wasted by Zhao Xing and he was kicked by him again, he immediately sat on the ground and cried out sadly.
People watching the excitement also accused Zhao Xing of being too domineering.
Zhao Xingben looked at Old Man Liu with disdain.
When he heard everyone blaming him, he knew that he had offended the public.
Although he was domineering, he was not stupid.
He knew that public anger would be difficult to quell.
Besides, this was Yuncheng County, not Xixi Village where he was king. , the fire in my heart has almost spread. , he threw the rice bag on Old Man Liu, spat on the ground, and said angrily, "I gave you an advantage today, don't let me touch you again next time, otherwise I will beat you once I see you."
After saying that, he waved his hand and prepared to leave with Zhuang Ding.
Seeing that Zhao Xing was about to leave, Old Man Liu wanted to step forward to keep him and let him pay for his rice, but he was afraid that he would get angry and hit him again.
It's just that I couldn't get out of bed after being beaten for several days, which would be troublesome.

If I can't get out of bed, I can't cut firewood.
If I don't have firewood, I can't exchange for rice.
I can only starve.
Thinking of this, I become more and more sad and cry more.
It was so big that all the onlookers were moved when they saw it.
The shopkeeper next to him who had just sold rice to Liu Laohan said loudly, "I think this young man is too domineering.
This old man just bumped into you accidentally and apologized to you very sincerely.
You But he still refused to give up and knocked over his rice and kicked his people.
Now he wants to leave.
How can there be such a thing in the world?
The sky is clear and the world is bright.
Is it possible that there is no king's law?
" When Zhao Xing saw someone coming out to accuse him, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said loudly, "Whose belt is not fastened tightly, which shows you.
I am about to leave.
Let's see who dares to stop me."
As soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the outside of the crowd: "Shameless boy, you are talking arrogantly, I have to stop you":
