The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4 The Husband Has Worked Hard

The entrance of the house with earthen walls and gray tiles in Zhang Zhou's impression.

Gather a lot of people who eat melons.

In the first place, a well-dressed young man who looked like a dog was holding a fan and directing the four subordinates he brought to surround the Zhang family's women and children.

The people in front of the door were all familiar to Zhang Zhou, and they always appeared in his mind these days. They were his wife, concubine, son and daughter.

The son is six years old, with a thick head and a thick head, holding a stick, rushing to the front, and bravely facing the incoming enemy head-on.

The wife was born in a wealthy family, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, leaning behind her son, she was not to be outdone, holding a mud brick in her hand, ready to fight the enemy to the death.

The concubine is delicate and smart.

The four-year-old daughter was hiding behind the concubine, blinking her big innocent eyes, tears rolling in her eyes for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the flow, she is really the embryo of a little beauty that I still feel pity for.

A family of four is defending against an invading enemy.

"Fangzheng, right? I'm here to ask for debts, and they hit people!"

That young master, Zhang Zhou finally remembered his name, Li Zhui.

It's his cronies. As for how he owed the debt, he doesn't remember. It may be a romantic debt, or it may be a debt owed after being drunk. There is an IOU. The whole family moved to this alley this time to hide the debt.

Li Zhui is arrogant and domineering, relying on his connections in the Nanjing Governor's Mansion, he usually belongs to the kind of bullying.

Li Zhui had a red mark on his face.

From the looks of it, it should be the masterpiece of the eldest son.

Good boy, has the demeanor of your father.

This posture alone cast all the previous worries in Zhang Zhou's heart to the sky. If he doesn't come forward, he will still be a man?
……

Taking advantage of the time when Li Zhui was reasoning with Fang Zheng, Zhang Zhou grabbed a solid brick in the corner, rushed up, and smashed the head at one of the four thugs brought by Li Zhui.

This is called surprise, the first strike is the best, and the enemy's vital forces are eliminated with lightning speed.

Zhang Zhou's body is not good in this life, but he has practiced in his previous life. From experience to consciousness, he is definitely a good fighter. At critical moments, he can only use consciousness to make up for his physical shortcomings.

"boom!"

Brick hits the head.

Steady, accurate, ruthless.

Slab bricks, or rather mud bricks, are a little weak, and they shatter when dropped.

The man fell straight forward and fell to the ground with a "plop". There was nothing serious about him, but he couldn't stand up for a short time, and he just lay on the ground, covered his head and groaned.

"what?"

After Zhang Zhou knocked him down, Li Zhui and his three remaining men didn't realize Zhang Zhou's appearance. In a hurry, Zhang Zhou wanted to punch the next one, but thought that his fist's lethality was still limited.

He yelled at his son: "Da Lang, stick!"

"Mom, dad is back!"

Brat, your father wants a stick from you, can't you throw the stick first and then shout?
Do you understand what it means for a father and son to work together to cut money?

This time, Li Zhui and his three subordinates reacted, and Zhang Zhou's sneak attack only achieved the result of destroying one enemy.

"Hit someone!"

"The Lord is back! There's a good show to watch!"

"Stop it, speak up if you have something to say, or you'll report it to the authorities!"

The onlookers have their own thoughts.

Neighbors are watching the fun, and Fangzheng seems to be here to uphold justice, but these days civil disputes adhere to the principle of "quitting lawsuits". Drive people away, and still yell that you have something to say?
Said sister!

"Take him down!"

Even Li Zhui had come to his senses now, he stopped talking to Fang Zheng, and had to deal with Zhang Zhou first.

Zhang Zhou had rushed to the door at this time, shouting at the whole family: "Go in! Close the door tightly! No one comes out!"

The family responded.

Probably not quite used to Zhang Zhou's change,
Why did I take part in a provincial examination, and my eyes didn't look right after I came back?What a murderous intent.

It was the wife who had her own opinion. Originally, she knew that Fangzheng was coming and wanted to come out to reason, but put the family in danger. At this time, she also made up for it, and hurriedly took the family into the hospital while her husband was blocking the door.

"Father, I'll give you the stick!"

The son finally got the hang of it and took the initiative to hand over the weapon.

Zhang Zhou picked up his stick and rushed forward, a bit reckless, as if to give his family time to retreat to the yard, intending to use his body to resist twice.

Although the other party didn't have any business with them, they had the advantage of having a large number of people and a strong body. Seeing Zhang Zhou bumping into him with his body, they didn't care about the women and children chasing into the courtyard, and the three joined forces to rush towards Zhang Zhou.

But Zhang Zhou's move was just a feint.

Zhang Zhou was short, dodged the counterattack of the first two people, swept his legs, and tripped the third unlucky guy. The movement was done in one go. He first patched his head with a stick, and then continued to charge forward, aiming straight at the target. Take Mr. Li face to face.

Seeing this posture, Li Zhui unexpectedly forgot that he was physically stronger than Zhang Zhou, and while opening his fan to block, he wanted to rub the soles of his feet.

"call!"

Zhang Zhou waved the stick with wind.

"Ah!"

Unbiased, a stick was pressed directly on the back of Li Zhui's forehead.

"Ahh..." Li Zhui leaned forward, and after Zhang Zhoubu's kick, he fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this posture, the two thugs in the back rushed towards Zhang Zhou desperately, and beat one of the four. If they didn't show up again, they would probably be fired after returning, and those with a contract of sale might be sold to another family.

It was Zhang Zhou who stepped on Li Zhui's neck and knocked on the wall with a stick. The stick snapped, and Zhang Zhou pressed the sharper end against the back of Li Zhui's head.

"Come again? Let you give him a funeral!"

The four thugs, two intact and two half disabled, stared straight at Zhang Zhou, but none of them dared to come forward.

A "fight with weapons" ended successfully on Zhang Wednesday.

……

Fangzheng saw that the fighting was over, so he hurried out to smooth things over: "Stop!"

Zhang Zhou glared at Fangzheng and said: "A group of wicked people came to this workshop to rob women and children. Why don't you stop? How can the interests of the neighbors in this workshop be protected? You can also see the neighbors in the street. They are the ones who made the first move. I am alone. When a person hits five, he is forced to do it."

Zhang Zhou is a Gongsheng student, even if he doesn't have much ink in his belly, but given his social status, Zhang Zhou has the confidence to challenge Fangzheng, but he doesn't have the guts to change those neighbors.

The neighbors were just joining in the fun.

Zhang Zhou pulls hatred well.

When he came up, he took the stand of "wicked people" and "our own people", and openly questioned the inaction of "those in power".

"Yes, that's right, a group of people came up to bully orphans and widows."

An old lady couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Zhang Zhou.

Hey, lady, although I am touched by you speaking for me, I am not dead yet. What is an orphan and widow?

"Mr. Zhang is a good person, but this group of people just needs to be cleaned up!"

Li Zhui was stepped on by Zhang Zhou, hammered the ground with both hands, and shouted loudly: "It's only natural to pay back the debt! He owes me 30 taels of silver with the principal and interest. Fangzheng, hurry up and report to the police! Come and arrest him." ! Otherwise, I will call my father..."

"boom!"

Zhang Zhou picked up a stick and patched Li Zhui's head.

Li Zhui scratched his head, dumbfounded.

Zhang Zhou squatted down and took out the IOU from Li Zhui's arms, which clearly stated that he owed Li Zhui 20 taels of silver.

Fangzheng hurriedly reminded: "Guan Zhang, right? You are a scholar, so you should know how the law is formulated. If you tear up the IOU in person, no one can help you."

Zhang Zhou showed the IOU to the people present: "Look, it is clearly stated on it that I only owe him 20 taels of silver and no interest. Why should I pay him back 30 taels? And this is because he took advantage of my drunkenness. At that time, you deliberately put the debt on me!"

"So that's the case." The neighbors instantly expressed understanding and sympathy for Zhang Zhou.

"I am also a principled person. Since I have signed the IOU, I will not renege on the debt, but there is always time to allow time. You can come back in a month!"

Earn 20 taels a month?

Everyone in time travel can earn 10 taels in ten days, so why can’t it be my turn?
Set a small goal first.

Besides, this is probably Nankey Yimeng after being drunk, whether he can stay in Daming for a full month is up for debate, maybe when he wakes up, he will be able to bask in the sun and play with his mobile phone on the bed again.

Fang Zheng said: "What Zhang Guanren said is right, it is better for this Li Guanren to wait until the full month to collect debts! You see, he is still not yet..."

Li Zhui's mouth was full of sand, and he couldn't even utter a word of disapproval, but the thug at the side asked a soul-torturing question: "What if he runs away again?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "I am a native of Nanjing city. Where else can I go? Besides, my Zhang family used to be a wealthy family. How could I not pay back 20 taels of silver? My late father was a good man from Zhang Dashan in the city. I won’t be left to die!”

At the critical moment, Zhang Zhou could only move his father and brother out.

Although he knew that now that his father was dead, his brother and sister-in-law would not care about him.

Because in my impression... it's hard to describe.

The family is divided, and when the family was separated, the brother and sister-in-law cheated on him. Now that he is in trouble, will he help him?
But it's good to say it.

"Brother Li, what do you think?" Zhang Zhou lifted Li Zhui's hair so that Li Zhui's head could be turned up.

"Okay. You wait!"

It's all like this, and you still want to speak harshly?
It seems that you have not seen my methods.

"Brother Li, it seems that you have a lot of opinions. If you come here while I'm not at home, wouldn't I suffer a lot? It seems that you want to kill yourself..."

"Don't, Mr. Zhang, don't kill anyone. Just keep an eye on you in the workshop. If he comes again within a month, he will definitely be driven away in front of the gate. But after one month, you must also remember to pay off the debt, otherwise you can only go to the Your brother is going to reason!"

Fangzheng is already begging his grandpa to sue his grandma.

Only then did Zhang Zhou let go of the foot that was stepping on Li Zhui. Li Zhui seemed to be out of trouble, and with the support of a group of subordinates, he staggered towards the entrance of the alley.

"it is good!"

Zhang Zhou was praised by the neighbors in the street like a triumphant warrior.

……

Open your own door.

Zhang Zhou also walked into his home with the steps of a winner.

Seeing the familiar and dilapidated furnishings in the yard, Zhang Zhou instantly understood that the victory was only temporary, earning 20 taels a month?Maybe it's still a good idea to run away with the whole family.

But these days, the household registration guide is a big trouble.

There is nothing valuable in the house, and the only things that are worth mentioning are a big rooster and six or seven pullets running all over the yard.

"Husband, you scared us to death, have you finished the exam?"

"finish exam."

"How was the test?"

"Uh...it's okay. If there are no accidents, I should be named on the Guibang. I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

After bragging, it's time to be honest.

He was already terribly hungry, but this fight was exhausting both physically and mentally, and he was staring at the stars.

The wife said with a look of emotion: "Sister, quickly cook a bowl of rice for the husband, and then take two eggs from the basket and fry them for the husband. The husband has worked hard."
