Chapter 86: Cold Heart and Merit, Kindness
"Mr. Qin!" The three guards separated from the periphery finally arrived. One of them stood in front of Qin Xiucai, one of them went away and pulled Zhou Qingyun, who was still stabbing with a knife, and the other one was squatting beside the corpse.
The scholar Qin Chuan stood there without moving, as if he was frightened. There were shouts and clappers sounds not too far away. The pedestrians on the road hurriedly dodged, either squatting aside, or hurried into the nearest shop, and the streets quickly became quiet.
A dozen men with weapons ran over quickly, holding a spear with a knife and two bows behind him. If anyone listened carefully, he could hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
This place is close to the Zheng family mansion. It is normal to hear that there are chaos and send people over. The people who come here are not very good. There is such a big mess in the heart of Zheng family, and they really don’t leave any face for the Zheng family. The man who led the team held a Park Knife and looked cold after seeing the body. The person who led the team was about to ask, but saw Qin Chuan standing beside him. He saw clearly under the lanterns, and the person who led the team frowned.
"Mr. Qin, isn't Mr. Qin injured?" The person who led the team handed Park Dao to his companion behind him, stepped forward and greeted him with his fists.
Qin Chuan was still there, and the person who led the team asked patiently. Qin Xiucai shook his head and then reacted. However, he ignored the person who led the team's greetings, but just pushed away the guard who was blocking him and took two steps forward. Zhou Qingyun seemed to have calmed down and was kneeling in front of Zhu Da, where he was at a loss.
"Uncle Qin, Zhu Da is still angry, Zhu Da is still angry!" Zhou Qingyun shouted hurriedly when he noticed Qin Chuan coming, and a crying voice was unknowingly brought into his voice.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan shook his body, and he seemed to be about to fall out, but he quickly stood firm again. He did not go to see Zhu Da, but just looked at the three guards following them. The three people were all awkwardly seen by Qin Xiucai.
After just scanning around, Qin Xiucai still ignored the escort leader who came to the Zheng family. Instead, he turned to the store on the side of the road, and still had lanterns hanging high. He just looked aimlessly for a few glances. Qin Xiucai sighed, his expression became very complicated, and he suddenly felt depressed, and he seemed to have been taken away.
"After a lot of time, the Zheng Jiu brothers asked, and the student took his sons and nephews to wander on the street. The murderer suddenly rushed out. Thanks to the two younger generations' desperate efforts to protect him, he was spared. The student was frightened and was a little confused now. He only asked the inspector to take care of him and help him hire a famous doctor to treat the student's adopted son. He also asked the inspector to send someone to protect the student's house. These kindnesses will be rewarded." Qin Xiucai said in a hoarse voice.
He said he was panicked, but Qin Xiucai's words were quite organized. Zheng Jiu was in charge of the street guards. After hearing Qin Chuan's words, he was stunned and did not answer for a moment.
Zheng Jiu's reaction surprised the guards who followed him. Zheng Jiu had always been in charge of the streets and had dealt with all the people. He wanted to be smart and smart in the future, but he couldn't even take a word. Although Qin Xiucai was one of the big names in the Zheng family, Zheng Jiu would not bow his head too much when facing him. Why is he so stiff today?
However, they could not have imagined that Zheng Jiu was savoring the meaning of Qin Xiucai's words. The words just now looked simple, but actually contained multiple meanings. Zheng Jiu began to think that he understood it, but he was so swaying that he thought more.
Zhu Da thought that he knew the value of a scholar's fame, but he was probably not enough. For the Zheng family, regardless of whether Qin Chuan had the identity of a master of the salt bank, this scholar alone was worthy of winning. Even if Qin Chuan did not have any background strength in the world, the requests he expressed as a scholar were enough to be worthwhile.
A scholar is the lowest-ranking scholar's fame and status. He has some preferential treatment and no fuss. However, this scholar can express his opinions in the government. He can help each other with his attendants in the same year, and there is also the possibility of being on the list of gold in the future.
No matter what kind of scholars are born in the past, as long as they become scholars, they will be a member of the ruling class and cannot be ignored. In Zheng Family Ji, which has more than a thousand families, except for Zheng Inspection, there is only one person who has the fame of the government, and that is scholar Qin Chuan.
The identity of a scholar is already very valuable in Zhengjiaji, not to mention a salt stack spanning black and white, with status and force. Qin Xiucai's status in Zhengjiaji can be imagined.
However, the words just now meant to be cut from the salt stack, and there was obvious signs of kindness to inspector Zheng and even bowing his head in his words. Zheng Jiu was also a good person in the Zheng family. Naturally, he knew that inspector Zheng had always been unhappy about Qin Xiucai being attracted by the salt stack. After Qin Chuan passed the exam for the scholar, the Zheng family was about to wait for Qin Chuan to be sadder before showing goodwill. This would gain greater favors, but he didn't expect that he would take the lead without taking it.
The result was that the Zheng family was the only one in Zheng Family, but now many things depend on the meaning of Qin Xiucai and Yanzhan, which made the Zheng family very uncomfortable.
With this cause and effect, Zheng Jiu came to the conclusion without much calculation. He clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Mr. Qin said this. Everyone is a fellow villager. If something happened like this, it is appropriate to help."
After saying this, Zheng Jiu turned around and communicated with his companions in the team for a moment. The guards who rushed over were slightly turbulent, and then they were divided into several groups. Some hurried back to report the news, some went to the roadside to maintain order, and Zheng Jiu took a few people to separate Qin Xiucai from the three previous guards.
The three guards around Qin Xiucai were surprised by the actions of the Zheng family. Their first reaction was to look at Qin Chuan. Qin Xiucai didn't say anything, but just breathed there, and a relaxed look appeared on his face.
The situation at this moment was a bit subtle. Qin Xiucai patted the long gown without dust and walked forward. The three guards wanted to keep up, but were stopped by Zheng Jiu's subordinates. They wanted to argue. Seeing that Qin Chuan had not even turned his head in front, the three hesitated for no reason and their faces became ugly.
The scholar Qin Chuan walked to Zhu Da who was unconscious and slowly squatted down and stared at Zhu Da's face. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Zheng Jiu, who was following him, shouted "Mr. Qin, don't touch him, wait for the doctor to come over, otherwise he will be injured again."
Qin Xiucai stopped and looked at Zhu Da, as if he was talking to himself, or saying to Zhu Da: "I thought I would be your noble person once, so that you can use your talents to the fullest, so that you will not be buried in a remote mountain village. I never thought that you were my noble person, saved Qin'er's life, and saved my life..."
Zhou Qingyun stood aside blankly, and Qin Chuan continued to mutely say, "You are so kind to my family, and you will clear away the clouds and mists for me again, how can I repay you..."
