Chapter 188
On the road, Shisanlang said to Xie Erjie: "The dog servant said he doesn't want your money and let you go home. Where is your home? We'll send you back. It's not too late, and we still have to hurry."
Xie Erjie said, "How dare I go home? The contract is still at Mr. Pan's house. If you leave, he will definitely come to my house to find someone."
Shisanlang said: "He said just now, how can he still get people when he lets you go home?"
Xie Erjie smiled and whispered: "Brother is so stupid - he was so scared by you, so he said so. He reported this to the yamen, and the yamen would not recognize it. Only when he leaves the county, he can't find anyone and get out of the clutches. When the deadline is over, he will no longer be afraid of him."
Seeing Shisanlang pondering and silent, Chen Shuo could not bear to see it and said, "Since that's the case, my sister will go back with us and stay with the Yao sister-in-law for a while. Wouldn't it be nice to join the house when there is nothing wrong?"
Shisanlang clapped his hands: "That's true! Why didn't I think of it just now?"
The other few people laughed together. Seeing that it was getting late, they were afraid of some troubles, so they hurriedly set off together. Before they arrived in Xiangzhou, they rested at the foot of Lumen Mountain for a night, and did not return to the camp and field affairs the next day until sunset.
When he arrived at home, Brother Yao asked his wife to take a break and asked her younger brother Yao Shouxin to come and buy wine and vegetables in the town. Everyone worked hard to help him take his wife back, and thanked Shisanlang and others since he should have wine.
Under the grape trellis in the yard, everyone lit a basin of charcoal fire and sat around. Yao Shouxin listened to everyone's talk about the situation of going there.
After hearing this, Yao Shouxin couldn't help but frown: "Oh no, you are afraid you will cause trouble this time! If you could use your strength, I would have brought someone to attack Mr. Pan's house long ago! He has a contract in his hand. If you bring someone back, why don't you get into a lawsuit?"
Shisanlang said, "Brother, it's okay. When I beat the old dog, everyone around me could hear it clearly. He said he would put everyone back home and not have any money. Can he still betray many witnesses?"
Yao Shouxin smiled bitterly: "Teacher, you also know that he said these words only after being beaten. How can he do it? When he arrived at the yamen, he had to agree to escape as long as he said he was forced by you. Do you think the yamen will take those words seriously?"
Shisanlang was with Du Zhongxiao. Although he always felt that these lawsuits and officials were not in line with his wishes and had never been attentive, he had seen them a lot in the past few years. When Yao Shouxin said that, he felt that he was right. He was afraid that the officials would not protect him.
After a moment of silence, Shisanlang asked Yao Shouxin: "So, what's your idea for brother?"
Yao Shouxin thought for a while and said, "It's already like this, so I have to make mistakes. If I want to avoid suing the lawsuit, I have to ask the official to be promoted."
This is exactly what Shisanlang believes. He has not seen Du Zhongxiao be stumped by anything for so many years. He asked hurriedly: "What are your ideas for brother? As long as he can avoid the lawsuit, he will definitely help me!"
Yao Shouxin said: "If I have an idea, why bother to prosecutors? I mean, he can only ask the prosecutors to come forward, and he will definitely have a way to prevent you from going to the lawsuit. Only the prosecutors will know what the prosecutors can."
Shisanlang couldn't help feeling embarrassed after hearing this: "This time I can't hold back my temper and beat someone up. If I tell Tiju, I'm afraid I will scold me."
Yao Shouxin said: "All this is the point, are you still afraid of scolding? If you really want to hide it from the officials, if the matter is revealed, other yamen come to the camp and the field steward to get people, the slogan will not just scold you! I have a problem with this matter. Do you think it is OK or not. Teacher, you must explain to the slogan tomorrow what is going on and what you did at that time, and you must understand it clearly and not hide it at all. I asked my sister-in-law and the second sister Xie to find an opportunity to tell her that she knew about it. The wife is kind-hearted and will definitely not allow the slogan to catch people back, so this matter will be sure to be sure."
Shisanlang clapped his hands: "This plan is great! If a wife comes forward, it will be a huge problem, and officials will inevitably turn big things into small things!"
After discussing the matter, Xie Erlang bought wine and food and came back, and everyone drank and ate meat to celebrate the reunion of Yao Erge and his wife. It was a big deal, as long as the wife came forward, Du Zhongxiao could not refuse. He could always pass, so why should he worry?
In the teaching and reading the wing army, artillery and cavalry are two valuable branches. Du Zhongxiao attaches importance to it, artillery is still above cavalry. Yao Shouxin is talented in artillery and artillery command. He was originally an officer of the wing army. As an instructor and commander of artillery, he was very respected by Du Zhongxiao. Shisanlang is also an instructor and commander of the cavalry. With Du Zhongxiao for nearly ten years, he is completely his own person. He was not very worried about the trouble this time.
What big a big deal can a countryman and two female envoys besides? Shisanlang fought back and punched someone a few times? What's the position of the supervisor along the way? He still can't handle such a trivial matter.
Except for the person involved in the case, Yao Erge, all the officers were cavalry and artillery officers. They were superior to others in the wing army and were not comparable to ordinary people.
In addition to commanding officers and ordinary military officers, there were also a large number of intermediate classes in the Song Dynasty, which were generally divided into two types: envoys and utility. Needless to say, envoys have official positions, but for various reasons, they are not officers and have no one under their command, and they are only used as ordinary soldiers. The utility is to voluntarily invest and serve in the army, both civil and military. They are either brave or have special talents, which are different from ordinary soldiers. The utility is generally not tattooed, and their money, grain and salary are much higher than that of military officers, and they have special functions, and are somewhat similar to those of later non-commissioned officers.
The Song Dynasty's army was very strict, but when it was actually implemented, it was rewarded with little punishment. If it made mistakes, it would not be pursued, but if it made merits, it would be rewarded with great rewards. This result was that a few battles would occur in the army and a large number of small officers would not be able to arrange positions for them. After years of war with the Dangxiang, there are now a large number of small officers who do not lead troops in the Northwest Imperial Army, commonly known as envoys. The proliferation of elite troops was all officers, and they were often used as sharp knives or suicide squads.
In the teaching and reading army, cavalry and artillery are precious troops, except for a few non-combatants, almost all of them are envoys and utility. There are many envoys in artillery and many utility in cavalry. As an army that has never been on the battlefield, the proportion is extremely high.
Yao Shouxin and Shisanlang, who command artillery and cavalry, were usually superior to other infantry commanders, and were above other infantry commanders. The habits formed in daily life, artillery and cavalry small officers are very high, and they dare to do things that ordinary officers dare not do. If something really happens, Du Zhongxiao will also protect them. These two arms are nobles in the army in the Jiaoyuexiang Army. With this status, Shisanlang said, a group of people followed him. The ordinary Jiaoyuexiang Army did not have the courage to do them.
As the instructor and commander of the artillery, Yao Shouxin is only under a few senior commanders. Usually, except for Yang Wenguang and Zhao Zi, the two leading troops, everyone else is under him. This happened to his family, and many people in the army were dissatisfied. When he came back this time, except for Yao Shouxin, he felt troublesome, everyone else was very happy and consciously did what he should do, showing his face to the Xiang army.
In Yao Er's yard, several people shouted and drank loudly, and did not disperse until late at night.
