Chapter 7 Marquis of Huichang

At this moment, Zhi Niang was full of horror, after all, she was just a helpless girl.

"Go, go." Zhi Niang stretched out her hand to push Sun Dan, but she stretched out her hand in the air, but it fell down feebly.Before the head of the water came in, they might be able to escape by stealing the back door.But what to do in the future, fleeing is never something that poor people should do. What can you do as a penniless poor man, I am afraid that you will be too hungry to walk within a day.

All the officials came to the door, and it would be a lie to say that they were not in a panic.But Sun Dan is still a civil servant in later generations, and he has never seen any kind of leader.The water catcher outside is nothing more than a police station chief in future generations.I have dealt with such people a lot before and accumulated a certain amount of experience.

Seeing the panic in Zhiniang's eyes again, Sun Dan felt sad.Speaking of which, he is the only man in this family. If a man can't protect his family, then what kind of man is he?If he really had to escape today, he would really be a fugitive.Without identity, it is impossible to survive in this strange world.Besides, I was finally getting a new life, so how could I become that hopeless refugee beggar.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt a surge of anger in his heart: "Mother, at worst, I will be arrested. With my IQ of a modern person, I will always come up with a solution. Instead of letting Zhi Niang, a little girl, as my own It’s better to go out in a dignified way than to be frightened. It’s not Sun’s style to hide when something happens.”

Thinking of this, Sun Dan gently patted the back of Zhiniang's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'll meet them."

Sun Dan patted the back of Zhiniang's hand, she flinched in fright, recalling that she hugged him just now, she suddenly felt strange in her heart, her face was a little hot, she stared blankly at Sun Dan striding out the door.

Sun Dan's heart was like lightning, and his head was spinning like a energized motor: How can I escape this hard labor?In the Ming Dynasty, there were only two kinds of people who could be exempted from taxes and labor: scholars and wealthy families.Studying, with the diploma of my later generations, I was admitted as a civil servant. In the Ming Dynasty, I can be regarded as a candidate.It is a pity that if you have not passed the imperial examination, you are not considered a scholar.Even if I go to study now and go to the test of fame, it is too late in time; the rich family, the Sun family is so poor, and from my generation to the third generation, they are all illiterate urban poor, and they can't be compared with the eight stalks of the rich and famous families... Rich family... this may be a way..."

After a little thought, Sun Dan had a plan in his mind: the fire is burning to the brow, and now I don't care so much, I have to struggle no matter what, success or failure depends on it.

He opened the door suddenly, and saw Shui Butou and the yamen servant Lao Si standing in the yard covered in dust, constantly spitting sand from their mouths.The two of them, Sun Dan, were no strangers. After all, Zou Pingcheng was only this big.Shui Tuotou and Lao Si are also characters on the scene. They walk around the city all day long, and the people in the city don't know anyone.

Seeing Sun Dan coming out of the door on his own initiative, the fourth child suddenly regained his spirits, opened his arms, and was about to come up to hug him, and said with a sneer, "Your head injury is still not healed, why are you so obedient today? I took the initiative to come out. Well, we happened to tie you up to meet the county magistrate."

"Stop, if you take another step forward, I won't be polite." Sun Dan sternly yelled.

After all, he is a person who has seen the world, and he is fundamentally different from the wretched and cowardly Sun Dan before.After sitting in the office for so many years, I haven't seen any kind of characters.Although he was just a small civil servant, anyone who came to the county government office to do business was very respectful when they saw him.The so-called, the county magistrate is not as good as the present, the king of Hades is easy, and the imp is hard to deal with.Ordinary people know that small clerks in institutions are not easy to offend.It really annoys them, and you will be stumbled from the bottom. Even if you can handle the leaders above and really get things done, there will be a lot of trouble.

The long-term experience in institutions made Sun Dan involuntarily carry a trace of aura. This kind of oath seems very common, but once it was placed in ancient times, it still made the old four startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

After a while, the fourth child suddenly woke up, his face flushed red.He didn't expect that he would take a step back after being frightened by such a brat, and it was in front of his immediate boss, Si Shui Chutou, this was a big embarrassment.

He roared angrily: "Straight mother, if you dare to take it in front of the uncle, I will beat you to death." After speaking, he drew the iron ruler from his waist and was about to pull it at Sun Dan's head.

A big hand stretched out, and grabbed the fourth son's wrist: "Don't be impulsive, fourth son, you hurt him, and you'll have to wait for death and life later, and it's hard to explain to the old man. One more thing is worse than one less thing, take him back as soon as possible." Let’s go to the yamen. Hey, a child, can you make it up to me?”

It was Shui Tuotou who had been watching coldly. He turned his head and smiled at Sun Dan, and said kindly: "Sun Dan, this matter is not easy to hide. It has to be resolved. Everyone is a neighbor, and I am not good either." Make a heavy hand." Sun Dan's performance just now made Shui Tuotou very impressed, and he had a good impression of this half-grown kid.I praised in my heart, the police are not chaotic, it is a character.I just don't know why he committed suicide by hitting the wall yesterday, which is a strange thing.

"Shui Tou, why are you being polite to him? This kid is pretending to be like a pig with green onions in his nostrils, so he dares to scare Grandpa. Today, I will let him see how good our family is." The fourth child turned blue with anger, "Shui Tou, don't be the same He is wordy, this kid never thought about going honestly with us. It won’t work if you don’t have to force him, so he just tied him up.”

"You!" Shui Tuotou also felt the same reason, and had no choice but to let go of the hand that was holding the fourth child.

Seeing that the fourth child was about to attack again, the black iron ruler was raised again, and Sun Dan shouted with all his strength: "I am a direct descendant of the Sun family of the marquis of Huichang, and I can be exempted from all labor taxes. Fourth child, you beat me today!" Am I not afraid of revenge from the Sun family? When will it be my turn to be humiliated by a lowly yamen servant like you when I am dignified in Huichanghou's mansion?"

Neither Shui Tuotou nor the fourth child thought that Sun Dan's thin body would be so full of energy and be able to make such a loud voice.

Shui Tuotou's complexion changed drastically: "Fourth brother, don't mess around!"

The iron ruler in the fourth child's hand stopped two inches from Sun Dan's forehead.He turned his head and glanced at Shui Baotou: "Boss, this guy is obviously full of Huqin. If he is really from Huichang Hou's family, why has no one heard of it before?"

Sun Dan yelled: "When will I need to tell outsiders about the family affairs of the Marquis Changfu?"

"Shuitou, arrest people!"

Shui Qiutou pursed his lips and looked at Sun Dan up and down, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth: "Sun Dan, I can't deal with this matter. I have never heard that your family is from the clan of Huichang Houfu. Otherwise, you might as well Follow me back to the yamen, after I report to the magistrate, everything will be decided by him, do you think this is appropriate?"

"Okay, let's do it like this, I'll go with you." Sun Dan waved his tattered sleeves and walked straight towards the yamen.

Behind him, the fourth child muttered in a low voice: "Shui Tou, I think this kid is just bluffing. He is about to die, and he is chasing relatives, but he can't be trusted."

Shui Butou, who was still smiling before, had a hard face when he heard the words, and shouted in a low voice: "Fourth, I'd rather believe what I have than what I don't. If he's not from Huichang Hou Sun's family, it's okay to say, there are ways to deal with this liar. If Really, now that you have bullied members of the Sun family, aren't you afraid that they will come to trouble you?"

Old Si's complexion changed drastically, and he took a deep breath: "Shui Tou is right. If it is true, this matter must be a headache." He murmured: "Huichanghou...don't mess with it, don't mess with it. Bodhisattva bless this The kid is talking nonsense. Shuitou, is what you said about this kid true?"

Shui Tuotou smiled, noncommittal.
