Chapter 33 Let them go
As the saying goes, after the snow, it is cold after the rain. I don’t know what’s going on in the capital recently. It rained for three or four days in a row, making people tremble coldly. The cold wind blew and it snowed heavily overnight.
The head is slippery and slippery under the thick snow, and if you are not careful, you will fall off.
The carriage that had been parked at the door of the house with plum trees planted for a night was creaking and rolling away with the snow.
There was someone idle on both sides, so they were naturally curious to go out and watch here, or pointing at him. There were so many troubles in front of the widow, so there might be some fun to see.
Ma Zhongmin, a second-rate man who has been hiding on the streets in the city for many years, is the most idle among these people.
Seeing that the carriage was far away, Ma Zhongmin, who was eating melon seeds, spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth, stepped forward a few steps, reached out to touch the door panel that the old gatekeeper was about to close, and said with a smile: "Old man, I spent the night here last night, but the old lover of your family?"
Lao Luotou, who has lived in Yingtian City for generations, naturally had a headache about this famous second-rate man in Yingtian Mansion. Who doesn’t know this area? It would be no good if he was entangled by the three brothers of the Ma family.
Seeing that the old gatekeeper was dissatisfied, Ma Zhongmin was about to squeeze into the door halfway, and kept saying something that his body was strong and strong would be more satisfying than the old man.
Lao Luotou was angry and picked up the broom beside the door and looked at Ma Zhongmin's body.
Ma Zhongmin let out a thunderous howl and rolled down the steps in front of the door, foaming at the mouth, shaking for a few more times before moving.
Ma Shunmin and Ma Liangmin immediately stepped forward, one hugged the elder brother who was blinking quietly, and the other kicked open the door that Lao Luo was about to close and said viciously: "If you beat someone to death, you will think about it all? Come and see me! You beat someone to death in Yingtian Mansion!"
Although the tall and strong Ma Liangmin is the youngest among the three brothers, he is strong and has learned a few superficial skills. When he shouts, he really can hear it clearly.
It was snowing days, and most people stayed at home and had nothing to do. When someone heard that they had beaten to death, they hurriedly took their families out to watch the fun.
Someone who knew the three brothers from Yangzhou, hurriedly introduced the three rascals' past feats to their families with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath, behaved, the one who couldn't mess with him. The next moment they started to wait happily to see the fun. If they were entangled by these three people, they would have to peel off their skin.
Lao Luo was so angry that his whole body was trembling. How strong could he be, an old man who was almost seventy years old? He was afraid of destroying the person, so he returned a little when he finally fell on him.
The three brothers of the Ma family don’t care whether you really don’t have enough effort or not, they put a lot of effort into shouting.
Don’t think that anyone dares to cheat these people. Anyone who is a little bit powerful is that the three of them are even more grandson than their grandson and more filial than their filial sons. The reason why they dare to come to trouble this family is naturally because they have already found out that this family is just a group of old and weak, and the heads of the family are not living here.
Isn’t there an ideal object to quarrel with a young and beautiful widow in the family?
Ma Liangmin glanced at the bull's eyes and saw that there were already a bunch of people around him, inside and outside, so he grabbed Lao Luo's collar and carried him to his two brothers, pointing to Ma Zhongmin who was spitting white foam and said, "Old man, did you beat my brother to death? Is it a private matter or a private matter?"
When Lao Luo was picked up like this, his clothes were running up and his melon-skin hat fell off. His gray hair was floating with the wind, like an old monkey being carried by someone, looking pitiful. When he saw Ma Liangmin blackmailing, he immediately trembled and wanted to report to the official.
Ma Liangmin waved his hand and shaved a big ear, which made Lao Luo's mouth bleed out: "Report to the official? You can also report to the official. Why did you kick my brother off the steps? You also asked me to kick him as well, and then report to the official."
"I didn't kick him," Lao Luo struggled to defend himself.
Ma Shunmin, who was holding his brother, turned his eyes and said in a strange voice: "All of us have seen you kicked my brother, do you still want to deny it? Think we are all blind? The third brother, you go and kick him over as he was just now, and then we will report to the official!"
The third old man Ma Liangmin smiled muffled and led the old gatekeeper to the steps in three or two steps.
Lao Luo hurriedly shouted, "I am old and can't stand this kick."
"I can't bear it? I can't bear it and I can pay the silver!" Ma Liangmin held Lao Luo's head in one hand and calculated with the other: "One tael of silver for the shroud, five taels of silver for the coffin, and five taels of silver for those suona and erhu, and the other is counted as five taels. If my second brother and I die, it's not too much to pay five taels for each one. There are 20 taels in total!"
"Twenty-one taels!" Ma Shunmin said angrily: "Even the accounts can't be settled! I'm so big!"
"Yes, 21 taels!" Ma Liangmin poked Lao Luo's chest with his finger: "It's not okay to lose one copper coin."
Lao Luo was sobbing that even if he sold him, he would not have twenty taels of silver.
Just as everyone was smiling and watching and waiting to see how good this family was, a huge carriage drove by not far away. A picture of a hundred birds was drawn in gold paint on the black carriage. The feathers of each bird were outlined with slender gold lines. The eyes of each bird were inlaid with different gems. Even the lifelike bird's heads and mouths were all serious spiritual herbs.
Four solid-colored horses were pulling this luxurious and scary carriage, creaking through the snow.
Eight men with bulging temples on both sides of the carriage were lined with dark-faced men, and the Yan Lingdao with a watery face all told the people around that these people were definitely masters among the masters.
The little Ni'er, who was driving the car, saw a bunch of people surrounding her in the road ahead, waved her whip impatiently. The man in the left-handed dress immediately bowed and went forward to investigate. After a moment, he came back and reported that it was the rogue in the city who was blackmailing an old man.
Xiao Ni'er snorted coldly and was about to move, but a pair of white hands reached out from the carriage and pressed her, who was about to jump out of the carriage to deal with the unfair affairs.
