Chapter 115: Save people at will

As soon as he entered the room, the girl was still lying on the bed, looking at Li Meng with her eyes open. Li Meng and the girl looked at each other without any hesitation.

I just felt that the other party's bright big eyes seemed to have something to say. Even in modern times, I was panicked by being stared at by such a beautiful girl. Li Meng coughed dryly and turned his head and asked:

"Are you better?"

"Yeah, it's much better..."

After a simple answer, both sides said nothing, but the room became quiet. Li Meng thought to himself that this was inexplicable. Just as he was about to say goodbye, the girl whispered:

"Li...Brother Li, can I beg you something good?"

Since the girl was tied to the boat, she has never called Li Meng. This time she called "Brother Li" timidly, which is really a bit contrary to common sense. Thinking about the other party's fearful appearance these days, she couldn't help but feel soft. Besides, she would say what excessive demands a girl can make, Li Meng turned around and asked:

"What's up?"

"The father and son who moved in to the inn said they were relatives, but as soon as they moved in, they were arrested by the county government, saying that they were colluding with bandits and being a crime of tyrants. His son cried pitifully in the yard..."

Li Meng frowned, feeling that this matter might have something to do with the young man he had seen at the county government office, but the girl was lying on the bed. How could she know about this matter? She looked over with inquiring eyes. The girl shrank into the quilt and said with a smile:

"I heard crying outside, and the old lady who served my husband went out to inquire. When I came back, I told me that the father was still a juren. A scholar would do such things if he was in Kaifeng Prefecture..."

Why wouldn't scholars do such things? However, Li Meng did not refute it. For him, meeting a gang is not a big deal, especially those around him still ask for it.

I told the girl to have a good rest, but I didn't notice that the girl was staring at her. Li Meng turned around and went out, casually searching for a salt dick and asked him to inquire.

Before dinner, the matter was found out. It turned out that a juren from Baofeng came to visit Lu's family. Because he didn't know that the city gate was closed early, he delayed his journey. He could only stay in the inn for one night first, or the inn owner would free up his room.

Who knew that early this morning, when I was about to go out, several officials from the county government came to capture the juren and son for no reason, and released their son back at noon. Originally, the father and son, plus two family members, brought a total of twenty taels of silver, and the travel expenses were abundant.

However, after being sued, the money was sent out in the morning, so that his son was released. The people from the Lu County Government did not do secret matters and directly explained that someone wanted to entrust the magistrate Zhang Renlong to clean up the juren and take two hundred taels of silver, so we would release him.

If there is no money, it would be possible that the juren will be killed in the divine prison tomorrow. Although the juren has fame and fortune, it is now like this that the juren is in trouble in western Henan. It is possible that the juren accidentally has a bad situation in the prison.

I can't find out the specific matters clearly, but according to the inn's inn and Yan Ding's inquiry, the other party's servant said that the juren was not too careful in speaking, and offended the magistrate Shi Keli, who was in Baofeng. During this period, he tried every means to find fault and provoke. However, their family is still a big family in Baofeng, and he did not dare to be too embarrassed for a while. This is the enemy who can remember. Who would have thought that when Lu came, he would be targeted.

It is said that it is the "Pujia County Magistrate". If he cannot afford the two hundred taels of silver, it is not impossible for the Juren to die in the prison of Lu's county.

Li Meng did not hesitate and ordered someone to take 200 taels of silver and ask someone to send it to the young man. It would be no harm to do more timely help.

Soon, the young man's face was flushed and had already arrived at the door. He didn't say much, but knelt down at the door and kowtowed for a few times. The depressed and empty expression he saw at noon was still missing, and was replaced by joy and excitement.

This young man looked a little pretty, but he looked like a scholar. He kowtowed very hard. When he raised his head, he was bleeding from his forehead. Before Li Meng could react, he had already knocked down several heads. Li Meng walked a few steps and quickly helped him up. The young man said in a crying voice:

"Mr. Li's great kindness, the students really don't know how to repay you."

Although the family background is not bad, in such a small place, if you can earn 100 taels of silver a year, it is a very good family. It is really a great money to take out 200 taels of silver at once. Moreover, this is really a timely rain, which is equivalent to saving the life of this young man's father. The yamen is jealous of money, and the person will definitely be released if the money is thrown in.

Li Meng patted the other person on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't say more. Send the money quickly and let your father suffer less. Tomorrow, your father and son will return to Baofeng as soon as they open the city gate, so as not to cause trouble again."

The young man nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, and said in a crying voice:

"This time we returned home, our Niu family must offer Mr. Li's tablet. I don't know if my benefactor can tell you where he lives. If you have the chance, you will definitely repay the favor!"

Naturally, Li Meng couldn't tell the other party that he was from Shandong and was still a garrison officer, but just smiled:

"It's just that I can help you once. When you meet by chance, you may not have any chance to meet in the future, so there is no need to do it!"

Doing great good deeds without leaving a name is really the behavior of a saint. In addition to the expression of gratitude, the young man's face also had a lot of respect. He nodded heavily, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, then he left with gratitude.

It was already dark, and Li Meng was not convenient to enter the girl's room, so he asked the woman who was taking care of her to talk about this matter. The next morning, the woman on duty told Li Meng that after the girl heard the news, she was happy all night and could hear the girl's laughter when she was dreaming.

Yesterday Meng En went out to sell goods with those shops. Although it was just the goods included on the ship, the shops in this small county town were still too many to eat.

Maybe it was because people were in good spirits when they were happy, and the girl's illness was almost cured after one night, and she was already jumping in the yard again, but maybe it had changed. For example, when she saw Li Meng, she had been quiet all the time, and even Li Meng could see that the quietness was a force to suppress herself, which was very awkward.

If the goods cannot be sold, they cannot be sold. Li Meng didn't care too much. In his opinion, Lu did not come meaninglessly. He had already sent an order that the team would leave the city before the city gate was closed.

After breakfast, Li Meng packed up his own weapons and luggage, short guns, short knives and daggers in his boots. It was time to take care of them. Li Meng basically did not organize these private weapons in front of others, and rarely let others know that he was carrying them on him.

While applying oil to the short gun, I heard Meng En shouting outside the door, and his voice was a little excited, and he said in a low voice:

"Mr. Li, that grocery store said someone wanted to see you..."

Hearing this, Li Meng didn't care about the weapons in his hand and suddenly stood up on the bed. Of course, the small grocery shop would not invite Li Meng to go over and discuss things solemnly for eating a few pieces of cloth and jars of soybean wine. The only possibility was naturally for the Qingyan matter that Li Meng asked about.

Putting the weapon into the bedding, Li Meng called a few salted dicks and rushing to the grocery store. Li Meng was indeed surprised and wanted to arrive as soon as possible.

A small area in the county town, a few horses roared past, and they must have arrived in a flash. On the horse, Li Meng saw the young man who gave the silver yesterday and a middle-aged man standing at the intersection and walking towards this side. It must be that his father had been rescued from the county jail. Seeing Li Meng from afar, the father and son bowed deeply on the side of the road with gratitude.

Li Meng didn't have time to say hello, but just waved and shouted when he passed by:

"It's good if you have nothing to do, go back home quickly!!"

The wind whistled in my ears, and the two people behind me also shouted a few words of thanks, but they didn't hear it clearly, but there was no need to care.

It took less time for Li Meng and his friends to arrive at the grocery store. The store's store's store's store's store was very simple, and only a few rammed earth houses opened half of the windows on the street. When I came to inquire yesterday, I didn't see any customers, which were deserted.

The situation is a little different today. The store is lively and there are quite a few customers who are buying there. There are three vendors selling dates outside. Although there are many people, they all look listless.

When Li Meng came over, these people looked back and stopped talking, slowed down their horses. Chen Liu beside him came over and said:

"These people all seem to be soldiers, and those jujube dealers have knives tied under their shoulder poles."

After all, Wang Hai is a person who has experienced life and death, so he can see clearly. Li Meng already thinks it is wrong, but he thinks that the situation in front of him shows that there are salt goods, and when he looks at the vendors and customers, they all have dark faces and big hands, and they look like old farmers.

A warrior like this is not from the Jinyiwei or the official army. Those people seem more decent. In Li Meng's opinion, these people are really like the guards of the salt owl.

When the shop saw Li Meng and the others coming, they hurriedly went out to greet him. Although his face was still cold, he spoke a lot more than yesterday:
Chapter completed!
