19. Keep playing
"Brother?" Seeing Jiang Zhen carrying a fish, Jiang Chengxiang called out uncertainly, and his face showed surprise.
The next day he got married, he saw Jiang Zhen lose his temper, but he didn't take it seriously. But now when he sees him... his elder brother is like a different person.
Jiang Chengxiang was surprised when he saw Jiang Zhen at first, but disgusted the second - what he was wearing was actually his clothes.
Before, he heard from Jiang butcher Jiang say that his elder brother moved to his house, but he didn't expect that this person would even wear his own clothes... Jiang Chengxiang never likes others to touch his things, and for a moment he was so disgusted with Jiang Zhen.
"Cheng Xiang, this is your elder brother." The man dressed in a yamen runner beside Jiang Chengxiang said, looking at Jiang Zhen with a smile.
This man's name is Yang Jiang, and he is indeed a yamen runner.
The yamen runners in Hecheng County are basically passed down from generation to generation. If the fathers don’t do it, they will do it as the sons. Because this job can bring some money, the yamen runners generally live a good life. Often, after several generations of yamen runners, they will have a lot of wealth.
But Yang Jiang is different. He likes to gambling, and his family always loses everything. His life is not good. Because of this, Jiang Chengxiang asked him to help scare people this time, so he was willing to come and get some extra money by the way.
"Yes, this is my elder brother." Jiang Chengxiang said, looking at Jiang Zhen again: "Brother, go home with us." Jiang butcher Jiang's butcher, Old Lady Jiang, would make a big fuss after suffering Jiang Zhen's grievance, but Jiang Chengxiang was unwilling to do this. He didn't want the villagers to laugh at him.
Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Chengxiang, then at the yamen runner beside him, and frowned.
He vaguely felt something was wrong.
Although he has done things recklessly these days, he has not been too much. In fact, there are more people in the countryside who have done too much than him.
He drinks and gambling to ruin his family property and beats his wife, and is unwilling to drive the elderly out of the house and let them fend for themselves, and steals all day long to harm his neighbors... There are more people in Hexi Village and the villages near Hexi Village, who are more bad than him.
As for such people, everyone only talks about a few words at most. They even dare not offend them because most of them are vicious, so Jiang Zhen was not restrained at all. But now... what did Jiang Chengxiang want to find a yamen runner to do?
Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Chengxiang with some defense, and slowly relaxed. The soldiers came to block the water and soil, and when everyone came, there was no need for him to hide.
Carrying a fish in one hand and a bamboo pole in the other, Jiang Zhen fell from afar behind Jiang Chengxiang and Yang Jiang and walked towards the Jiang family.
"You big brother, it doesn't look easy to mess with." Yang Jiang and Jiang Chengxiang got very close to each other and said to Jiang Chengxiang.
"It's just a mud-legged person. Brother Yang, you can definitely take him down." Jiang Chengxiang flattered Yang Jiang.
"That's it." Yang Jiang showed pride and said, "The roast chicken I had was delicious yesterday."
"Brother Yang, let's go and eat it tonight!" Jiang Chengxiang immediately said that there is a roast chicken restaurant in Hecheng County. The roast chicken was first fried in oil and then made with special braised ingredients. The taste was particularly delicious and not cheap. However, when he was in good relationships with others, he was always willing to spend money, and he didn't feel sorry for him.
The three of them walked towards the village. Because Yang Jiang was wearing yamen runners' uniforms, many people were watching, and because he was wearing yamen runners' uniforms, no one dared to come and say hello.
After a while, they arrived at the Jiang family.
"San'er, you are back! Sir, please come in!" Seeing Jiang Chengxiang and Yang Jiang's presence with him, Old Mrs. Jiang showed joy on her face, and then looked at Jiang Zhen with pride and disgust.
It is obvious that these people are going to make trouble today! As soon as Jiang Zhen had this idea in his heart, he heard Jiang Chengxiang say: "Jiang Zhenye, kneel down for his parents!"
He guessed it right... Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Chengxiang, but did not kneel down.
Jiang Zhen did not kneel down. Jiang Chengxiang, who had originally wanted to suppress him in his momentum as soon as he came up, couldn't help but frown. He also felt something was wrong. However, seeing Jiang Zhen standing there motionlessly, he felt that he was wrong. He changed his expression to Jiang Zhen and said, "Brother, do you know what you did wrong?"
"What am I doing wrong?" Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Chengxiang calmly.
"Brother, as your father and mother's son, you actually used a knife to your parents. This is disobedience and unfilial!" Jiang Chengxiang said.
"Disobedience and unfiliality are the ones who want to behead him." The yamen runner had been watching the show before, but at this time he looked at Jiang Zhen and said gloomyly.
"You debt collector, you are very brave, and you actually used a knife to me!" Old Mrs. Jiang shouted to Jiang Zhen: "I will go to the yamen tomorrow to sue you for being disobedient and unfilial, and let the official arrest you and chop your head!"
"Boss, you'd better admit your mistake today, otherwise we'll be polite!" Jiang Butcher also said. After talking to his youngest son yesterday, he realized that his children were unfilial and that parents could actually go to the yamen to sue their children. He didn't want his eldest son to die, but decided to use this to teach his son a lesson and make him obedient.
Jiang Zhen knew that these people should be just threatening him. If it were just the Jiang family who threatened him, he could of course make a big fuss, but there is still a yamen runner in there.
Jiang Chengxiang was able to find a yamen runner, which shows that he had some connection with the county town. If he started to make trouble now and refused to admit his mistake, the Jiang family might really sue him for being disobedient and unfilial, and this was indeed a serious crime in ancient times.
But he doesn't make trouble? Do you really have to let the Jiang family suppress him?
Now he is afraid of the yamen runners and the charge of disobedience and unfiliality. Didn’t Jiang Chengxiang have a way to control him?
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Zhen's mind, and at the same time, the emotions belonging to Boss Jiang appeared again.
There are fear and anger in that mood. This person who has been treated unfairly by his parents for more than 20 years still has an obsession after his death.
He just didn't work for a while after almost losing his life, and just ate a chicken and some eggs at home. Now these people actually want his life, regardless of blood ties... You can imagine how painful and uncomfortable Boss Jiang was.
"You want to sue me for being disobedient and unfilial?" Jiang Zhen raised his head, glanced at the faces of the people in front of him, and remembered their expressions in his heart.
"Brother, if you continue to make trouble, your parents will definitely sue you for being disobedient and unfilial!" Jiang Chengxiang said. He knew best how afraid the people in this village were of the yamen and how afraid they were to be taken away by the people in the yamen. However, he was waiting for his elder brother to surrender now.
However, the development of things seemed to be different from what he thought... Jiang Chengxiang looked at Jiang Zhen with some smugness, but found that there was no fear on Jiang Zhen's face and his expression was still cold. For some reason, Jiang Chengxiang's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little cold on his body.
"A broom star like you should be caught and beheaded!" Old Mrs. Jiang said again. With the yamen runners there, she was not afraid of Jiang's shock now, and even hoped that the yamen runner would really capture Boss Jiang. If she had no broom star, her life would definitely get better and better in the future.
Old Mrs. Jiang really wanted Boss Jiang to die... Jiang Zhen understood this and felt sad and angry. This was actually not his emotions, but he wanted to spread his anger out.
"Okay, I'm disobedient and unfilial, right? Then I'll show you one of them!" Jiang Zhen said suddenly. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the fish in his hand towards Old Mrs. Jiang's face.
The fish fell on Old Mrs. Jiang's face, and Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but scream. At this time, Jiang Zhen picked up the sharpened bamboo pole that he had held in his hands every day and smashed it at Old Mrs. Jiang.
The bamboo pole hit Mrs. Jiang and swept her to the ground directly. Then, Jiang Zhen stabbed the butcher Jiang's leg with the sharpened end.
The sharp bamboo pole stabbed Jiang Tuhuo's legs, and bleeded on his legs, which also made him scream in horror.
Jiang Zhen was not merciless and hit his shoulder again, knocking him to the ground.
Jiang Zhen suddenly attacked, and Jiang Chengxiang and the yamen runner were shocked. They stood stupidly and couldn't react at all. However, Jiang Zhen had already looked at them at this time.
Jiang Zhen's eyes were very cold. Jiang Chengxiang met that gaze and subconsciously trembled: "What do you want to do?"
"Aren't you going to sue me for being disobedient and unfilial? I'll kill you first." Jiang Zhen sneered and poked Jiang Chengxiang's thigh directly.
"Ah!" Jiang Chengxiang's thigh was poked, and blood suddenly appeared. He looked at Jiang Zhen in horror, but he never expected that Jiang Zhen would really take action.
"Stop!" Yang Jiang pulled out his waist and looked at Jiang Zhen in horror. When ordinary people saw their yamen runners, they became like quails. This person dared to take action? "Do you want to die? I want to take you into prison!"
"You want to catch me? Then I'll kill you first." Jiang Zhen smashed Yang Jiang with a bamboo pole again.
Yang Jiang held a nearly two-foot-long waist knife in his hand and wanted to cut Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen had already distanced himself from him, so how could he be cut by him?
As a weapon, bamboo poles are incomparable to swords in some aspects, but in some aspects, they are also easier to use than swords, at least they are long enough.
There was a little distance between the two. Yang Jiang could not cut him with a knife, but he could use a bamboo pole to hit Yang Jiang.
Jiang Zhen went down a bamboo pole and was hitting Yang Jiang's knife. He actually threw the knife out directly. Then, he hit Yang Jiang again.
If it were in modern times, Jiang Zhen would never fight a policeman with similar identities as an ancient yamen runner, because that was seeking death.
If he had committed a crime in modern times, he would have been wanted in two days. However, he could not have been able to fight overheating weapons by relying solely on personal force. In this case, of course, he would not have been foolishly against the police.
But this is ancient times.
Although there are artillery nowadays, it is only useful in the army. In most places, it is good for soldiers and yamen runners to have knives, but he is not afraid of others using knives with him at all!
There is not even a camera here, which means that if he made a mistake, he would not be recognized by others as long as he ran far away, he could start over again.
It is actually very simple to run. Although the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient, it was inconvenient, and those yamen runners also had inconvenient transportation!
Of course, Jiang Zhen had no intention of committing a crime and running away... He was still waiting to marry Brother Zhao Jin.
Now he... just wants to defeat these blind people.
