Chapter 41 Someone is really beating him
In early summer, the sun gets hotter day by day.
The humid and hot air makes people sweat.
Acai came out of Zuichunyuan's back door while tying his belt.
He wiped his chest, where there were still traces of rouge from Red Apricot Girl in Zuichunyuan.
He was generous this time, and when Miss Hong Xing served him, her voice was so soft that it almost turned into honey.
"Little devil, brother will come to love you again in two days." Acai turned around and shouted to Hong Xing.
Acai has been well off recently.
He served the young master Li Zhangsheng in the Li Mansion. His monthly salary was not much, but recently the young master asked him to do something and gave him twenty taels of silver.
There was a country boy named Xue Che in the academy who offended the young master, and the young master wanted to break the boy's hand.
This is easy.
Acai told his friends outside the county town about the matter and gave them ten taels of silver.
They guarantee that the job will be done properly and they can earn ten taels for free.
The more Acai thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one.
He walked in the alley with his head shaking, humming the erotic song he had just heard in Zuichunyuan.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared under my feet.
Acai wanted to look back, but before he could turn his head, he was stabbed in the back of his neck.
His eyes rolled back and his body fell limply.
Wu Yingniang stuffed the person into a sack, tiptoed, and disappeared into the alley.
An hour later.
Ah Cai, with a bruised face and nose, huddled in the corner of the woodshed, trembling and trembling:
"I said...I said everything!"
The masked Wu Yingniang held a sharpened bamboo pole and pressed it against Ah Cai's throat:
"hurry up!"
Ah Cai didn't even dare to swallow his saliva, and trembled and said:
"...The young master once asked me to hit Young Master Wu on the head... and I once stole my cousin's inkstone..."
"The young master asked me to catch a snake and take it to the academy to bite a boy named Xue..."
"Master, if you want to break his legs, I'll find someone..."
Ah Cai blurted out all the evil things he could think of. He really couldn't stand the beating anymore.
This woman had her face covered and was very cruel. If he didn't confess, he would have to go to hell to meet his mother-in-law.
Wu Yingniang pushed the bamboo pole in her hand forward half an inch, and a blood mark instantly appeared on Acai's neck.
"When do we start?"
"To-tomorrow night."
…
The academy’s kitchen supplies a lot of meals to teachers and students every day, so the amount of food required is also large.
On this day, Lao Dong, who usually delivered food to the academy, did not come. Instead, the person who came to deliver food was a man in his twenties.
"I'm Xiaodong. My father injured his waist yesterday and couldn't get out of bed. I'm here to deliver food for him."
Xiaodong carried two bags of vegetables and walked towards the kitchen.
As he walked, he paid attention to the layout of the academy.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw an old woman with nimble hands and feet cutting vegetables and a strong young man making a fire.
The old woman glanced at him and said, "Are you Lao Dong's son?"
"Yes." Xiaodong put down the vegetables.
"You look nothing like your father."
"I look like my mother."
The old woman stared at him, as if to see if he was lying.
Xiaodong felt a little uncomfortable with the old woman's gloomy gaze, but he really didn't lie.
His surname is indeed Dong. Old Dong, the vegetable seller, is his father, and the vegetables he delivered today were of full weight.
However, his father Lao Dong was not unable to get out of bed due to back pain, but was drunk by him.
He didn't want to do the job of selling and delivering vegetables like his father, which was tiring and paid little.
Xiaodong doesn't deliver food on weekdays. He hangs out with a bunch of brothers in the suburbs, specifically catching lone outsiders and extorting money from them.
No one calls him Xiaodong on weekdays, they all call him Dong Erlai.
He had a younger brother named Acai, who served the young master in the Li Mansion. Acai introduced them to a job that could earn them ten taels of silver.
Acai said that there was a dog hole in the grass next to the back door of the academy.
Dong Erlai only needs to throw a kid named Xue out of the dog hole in the academy tonight, and there will be brothers outside to support him and break his hands.
Dong Erlai did not leave after coming out of the kitchen. He found a rockery and hid behind it to sleep.
The sporadic chirping of cicadas began to be heard among the increasingly lush leaves.
The shadow of the rockery swayed half a circle from west to east.
When Dong Erlai woke up, it was getting dark.
When the night deepened and the lights in the academy flickered on and off, Dong Erlai tiptoed out from behind the rockery.
Under the starlight, his shadow merged with the shadows of the trees.
Dong Erlai groped his way to his birthplace and found a house with a doorplate painted with cinnabar.
Ah Cai had told them before that Young Master Li would mark the student dormitories in the academy. The one with the door number painted with cinnabar is in the row of houses on the west side.
The kid named Xue lived alone, so no one would notice if he was kidnapped in the middle of the night.
Dong Erlai took out a very thin bamboo tube from his arms, poked a hole in the window paper and inserted it in, then slowly blew the smoke in.
After about an incense stick of time, there was no movement inside. Dong Erlai pushed the wooden bolt on the latch along the hole in the window paper, and then climbed in through the window.
In the dark room, you can vaguely see a shadow sleeping on the bed.
Dong Erlai carried the man on his shoulders and hurried out.
The person on his shoulder was sleeping soundly and didn't respond at all. Dong Erlai led his men to rush to the back door of the academy.
After Dong Erlai left the dormitory, a black shadow flashed by, exchanged the cinnabar-painted doorplate with the doorplate of another dormitory, and then disappeared into the night.
…
Li Zhangsheng is a vicious child and his emotions are easily agitated.
The last time he released the snake, he was so excited that he spent the whole afternoon. Tonight, when he thought about breaking Xue Che's hand, he thought he would be so excited that he would have trouble sleeping.
But perhaps because he was too tired recently, after turning off the lights, he lay on the bed and thought for a while, and somehow fell into an irresistible sleepiness.
Yan Chao, who lived in the same dormitory with him, was punished to go home to reflect on his mistakes and had not yet returned to the academy. He lived alone in peace and quiet and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.
He dreamed that Xue Che's hand was broken and he could no longer hold a pen to write.
His articles were highly praised by the dean and the teacher.
He was recommended to study at the provincial school and was a leader among the students.
His writing became better and better, and he became famous all over the world. He was even recommended to the Imperial College in Chang'an.
Later, he became an official higher than his father and returned home in glory with great fanfare.
Xue Che, whose hand was broken, knelt on the ground, called him "official master" and kowtowed to him pitifully.
Li Zhangsheng smiled triumphantly and threw two taels of silver to Xue Che.
As soon as the silver was thrown down, the people suddenly rioted and many people surrounded him to capture him.
A fist came out from nowhere and hit him, causing him to scream in pain.
"ah--!"
Li Zhangsheng suddenly opened his eyes in a cold sweat.
Another fist came towards him.
The intense pain woke him up from his dream instantly.
It’s not a dream!!!
Someone was really beating him!
