"Hahaha!" The whole room burst into laughter, and the bitch wanted to stuff his head into his crotch. The eyes he looked at Li Xiao were filled with resentment, but there was no way this was not the time to settle accounts with Li Xiao.

"Okay! This thing was caused by your kid, and Ao will not make things difficult for you. He took a big yoke at the yamen gate and flailed it for three days to show the public, as a warning!" Ao Du stopped laughing and continued to face him sullenly.

Dogleg said.

This kind of sesame and mung bean matter can only be reported to the elder afterwards. Liaoyang Mansion has hundreds of thousands of people in charge, and if the elder is even responsible for this matter, he will be exhausted.

Originally, the crime of being a bitch was punished by being beaten for one day. But Ao Dutou despised people who cheated on others and helped foreigners harm their own compatriots. So one day became three days!

The flail is a large wooden shackle weighing 30 kilograms. It is put around a person's neck so that he cannot lower his head. The shackle is for three days, which means that the person must carry this thing at the yamen gate for three days. It is like a monkey.

Letting people visit, in fact, this kind of punishment can be regarded as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. It makes those dishonest people look bad, and it also lets those who want to commit crimes know how powerful it is.

Three days is not the longest period of time. The longest period is seven days. After the period, the person will be disabled. The neck bones are misaligned and the head cannot be lowered for a while.

"Lord Dutou, have mercy on me! Lord Dutou, have mercy on me! The villain's brother-in-law is the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Dutou...!" The two guards dragged the man out like hungry wolves, and without any explanation, they pulled him out.

The gauze is put around the neck.

"Little brother, thanks to you today. My name is Ao Canghai, and I am the captain of the third class here. If anything happens to you in the future, please report me as Lao Ao." Ao Canghai liked the young man in front of him very much, so don't look at the booing.

There are many people setting up rice seedlings, but really not many people would come to the Yamen to testify. It is an old tradition of our country to be afraid of offending others.

"Thank you Ao Dutou, I was just passing by here. My family was destroyed by the Tatars, so I took my brothers and sisters to Guanli to make a living. Liaodong is not peaceful!"

"Hey...! Ever since Tieling City was occupied by the Tatars, the Tatars have become more and more arrogant. What a pity! Let Marshal Li go, otherwise with just a few Tatar soldiers, they would wet their pants with the Marshal's roar.

.”

The Marshal Li Ao Canghai talks about is Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. When he was alive, no one, whether it was the Mongolian Tatars or the Jurchen Tatars, dared to make mistakes. Even the powerful General Qi in the southeast was outstanding in terms of military merit.

below him.

Unfortunately, the commander-in-chief has passed away. Before his body was cold, the Tatar soldiers captured Tieling City.

Li Xiao knew that there was controversy about Li Chengliang's merits and demerits in later generations. However, he was a real hero these days. He reluctantly handed over his hand and planned to leave. His younger brothers and sisters were still waiting outside, and they could not be allowed to leave.

in a hurry.

"Little brother, I am Geritu from the Horqinduoyan tribe in Mongolia, a direct descendant of the Golden Family. I will stay here for a few more days. Since my little brother can speak Mongolian, it would be great if you come and be my translator for a few days.

As for the wages! I can pay you higher, how about three pieces of silver? I will also cover your food, accommodation and food."

Just as Li Xiao was about to go out, the Mongolian personality Ritu next to him spoke. He also wanted to do things in Liaoyang. What would happen without the tongue. Besides, what they fear most is that the tongue colludes with outsiders to defraud them of their money. Look.

Li Xiao has a righteous character, and Geritu feels that this young man will not lie to him.

Three cents of silver! According to the salary of a translator, it is not that small, but he only works as a translator for a few days. When you settle in the pass, you need money everywhere. Three more cents of silver for a few days is also a good thing.

"But I still have several younger brothers and sisters, and they...!"

"It doesn't matter. Come and stay at the inn I booked." Geritu readily agreed as the children could eat as much as they wanted.

"That's good!" Li Xiao agreed immediately. It would be good to make some extra money.

Ao Canghai wanted to continue patrolling the streets, so he came out with Li Xiao and two Mongolians. The dog's legs were already shackled next to the stone lion at the yamen gate, and an iron chain was slanting around his shoulders. This was a little trick in the yamen.

, a person cannot sit down with this chain, so he can only stand with a 30-pound cane. If it lasts for three days, a person's legs will swell to the size of a bowl.

The purpose of doing this is to make the flail man scream loudly. If there is money at home, he will naturally spend it to save his family from suffering. The third-class yamen servants also have to mix in some pocket money! These things are all ways for the servants to make money.

Ao Canghai just smiled when he saw it.

Seeing Li Xiao coming out, accompanied by Tatars and officials. Li Hu, who was more courageous, timidly called out: "Brother."

"It's okay. I found a job to earn some money. They are also responsible for the food these days!" Li Xiao walked over and touched Li Yu's head, telling his brothers and sisters not to worry. But how to explain that he can speak Mongolian?

He hasn't thought about it yet.

"Hey...! Nice war horse!" Ao Canghai couldn't help but praise when he saw the war horse held by his second son, Li Xiu.

"Ao Dutou also likes horses?"

"Haha! I, Lao Ao, used to be the Liaodong Cavalry under the Marshal. It all happened back then, so I won't mention it! This horse is really good. How did you get it, kid? There is no such good horse in the countryside!" Ao Canghai held his hand.

I touched the shiny mane and patted the horse's neck very fondly.

"We killed the Tatar soldiers and robbed them." Li Hu, the third child, said loudly.

Li Xiao wanted to cover his mouth, but by this time it was too late. He could only admit it with an awkward smile at Ao Canghai. Anyway, killing Tatar soldiers in these days is not a sin.

"You guys? Kill the Tatar soldiers? Little brother, that's not how you brag." Ao Canghai laughed loudly. The Jurchen Tatars claimed that if the Jurchens were not worth ten thousand, they would be invincible in the world. With just a few children, they wanted to kill the Tatar soldiers.

Simply the best joke ever!

"Don't believe it! This is the Tatar soldier's waist card!" Li Hu didn't see Li Xiao winking desperately, and when he saw Ao Canghai actually looking down on his brothers, he immediately showed the Tatar soldier's waist card.

Li Xiao regretted giving his belt to this tough guy.

In the Eight Banners of Manchuria, there is one Niu Lu for three hundred people. One Jia La Fu Zhen for five Niu Lu, and one Gu Shan Fu Zhen for every five Jia La Fu Zhen. Further up, there is Meile Fu Zhen, and each level has a corresponding waist.

Card to show identity.

The waist tag in Li Hu's hand is the lowest-grade wooden tag with a blue border painted on the edge. This means that this person is a sergeant under the banner of Xianglan!

Ao Canghai took the waist card in his hand and played with it. He had seen the Tatar soldier's waist card and knew that the one in his hand was not fake. The Tatar soldier's waist card never left his body, so it only meant that it appeared in the hands of these children.

This Tatar soldier was really killed by a few children.

"Haha! You are indeed a good boy. Can you tell me how you killed the Tatar soldiers?" Li Hu didn't notice Li Xiao blinking, but Ao Canghai, an old man, noticed it. He didn't ask Li Xiao, but asked what it looked like

Just simple-minded Li Hu.

"My brother tied a rope around two trees and asked my second brother to run ahead wearing my sister's clothes. The Tatar soldiers chased after him and pulled the rope fiercely and he fell off the horse. We got there together and the Tatar soldiers

Zibing was beaten to death, and I even hit him on the head with the handle of a pickaxe!" Li Hu said in a lively manner.

Ao Canghai couldn't help but look at Li Xiao differently. What the cavalry was most afraid of was getting stuck in a horse pit and stumbling on a horse rope. Especially for a galloping cavalry, if they fell like this in winter, their necks might be broken.

A living man fell off a galloping horse and was already badly injured and unable to take care of himself. It was definitely possible that several children would be swarmed and beaten to death.

"Boy, it's not easy!" Ao Canghai looked at Li Muchao.

"A blind cat kills a mouse, and the Tatar soldiers slaughtered our village. I only regret that I was young and weak and could only kill a lone person."

"Good boy, if I have something to tell you, Master Ao, from now on. There is no one around this mule and horse market who won't give me face, Old Ao." Ao Canghai casually threw the wooden sign to Li Xiao and led a few servants to patrol the streets.

. But I secretly cried out that it was a pity that there was only a token but no head. Otherwise, you can get the reward by going to the big master. After the fall of Tieling, the head of a Tatar soldier can be exchanged for five taels of silver. This is not a small amount!

"Your horse is pretty good!" While Li Xiao and Ao Canghai were talking, Geritu was admiring the war horse held by his second son, Li Xiu. When he saw Ao Canghai leaving, he said to Li Xiao.

"This is a war horse that we can't afford to keep. We are planning to take it to the horse and mule market and sell it!"

"Oh! How much are you going to sell it for?" Geritu looked at Yunhao and asked.

"This...!" Li Xiao didn't know how much this horse could be sold for.

"This war horse should be two years old. Although it is not a first-class war horse in terms of appearance, it is still considered to be a top-notch horse among the second class. The fur is shiny and fat, and it is obviously fed with good horse food. This horse is usually fed with good food.

The original owner treated it really well." Geritu said with a smile.

Although he didn't understand what Ao Canghai and Li Xiao said just now, a few poor children certainly couldn't afford to raise such a good war horse.

"You make a price, and if it's right, the horse will be yours."

"Okay! A first-class war horse can now be sold for one hundred taels of silver. Your horse will definitely not be sold for that much. A second-class war horse can be sold for fifty taels, but this one is considered good among second-class war horses. If I

If you bid, sixty taels is about the same!" Geritu said.

"Sixty taels!" Li Xiao didn't have much idea of ​​how much one tael of silver could buy. He only knew that he ate a big meal of mutton and green onion stuffed buns this morning and drank a few bowls of porridge. Twenty taels.

Son. According to this calculation, sixty taels of silver.

A huge sum of money!

"Deal!" Li Xiao happily handed the horse's reins to Geritu.

"Brother, why did you give the horse to the Tatars?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

"The Tatars bought it for sixty taels of silver."

"Sixty taels!" The brothers' eyes widened with expressions of disbelief. They killed a Tatar soldier and captured only a dozen or twenty taels. Now they had sixty taels of silver.

!

"Brother! Why do you speak Tatar?" Just when the brothers were immersed in the joy of getting rich, the youngest sister Li Yu suddenly asked.

"Uh...! This...!" Li Xiao helplessly saw that his brothers were looking at him suspiciously.

Geritu did not take the reins handed over by Li Xiao, but smiled and walked away. Mongolians love horses, and the most indispensable thing for Mongolians is horses. Geritu’s family kept dozens of high-quality war horses for him to ride.

There is absolutely no need to spend sixty taels of silver on a second-rate war horse.

Seeing that Geritu didn't answer, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment and retracted his hand. He quickly thought of the problem and called his younger brothers and sisters to awkwardly follow Geritu back to the inn.
