Rebirth of the Great Power

The days of waiting were somewhat boring, so at Tian Yuan's request, Mu Yuan took him around and wandered around Yangzhou Prefecture at will. He also heard that Jiangdu County, a subordinate town, has a good scenery, so he took advantage of his leisure time to go After a while.

Perhaps there is a destiny in the dark, but this time Mu Yuan met the person he always wanted to see but always missed.

Although the market in Jiangdu County is not as prosperous as that in Yangzhou, it can be regarded as having everything that one expects to find.

The two masters and servants were standing in front of a small stall of sugar kneaders, watching with gusto. The stall owner was an elderly man, but his craftsmanship was excellent, his fingers were full of creases but he was extremely dexterous, and he could make a shape with a few strokes, like a monkey , rabbits, ducks, chickens, vivid and lifelike.

Mu Yuan lived in the city since he was a child, and the toys he saw mostly were mass-produced in factories, no matter how delicate they were.However, such purely handmade gadgets are extremely rare.Even though he was considered well-informed, he couldn't help but stop for a while.

In addition to Mu Yuan and the other two, there were several women with children surrounding them.Every time the old man squeezed one, the children giggled and stretched out their hands to ask for it, and when the child got it, the mother handed over three Wen.

After watching for a while, just as he was about to walk away, there was a loud noise behind him, accompanied by a few rude words of "Get out of the way, get out of the way", and he felt pushed from behind, and his body leaned forward involuntarily.

Mu Yuan and Mu Yuan were not the only ones who were treated rudely. Several women around them were also pushed to the ground. One of the thin ones even tilted and fell forward. The child in his hands seemed to be about to Go to the bamboo sticks with the sugar figurines stuck in them.Mu Yuan quickly reached out to help, avoiding a tragedy. The child was already frightened to the point of crying, and the woman was also terrified, with tears in her eyes, thanking her repeatedly.

Only then did Tian Yuan turn around and glared at him. They were five or six men dressed as servants, surrounded by a young man in fine clothes, swaggering all the way, regardless of the crowds in the market, and vigorously pushed and shoved anyone who obstructed them, regardless of whether others would be injured.When everyone saw them passing by, they also avoided them one after another. It was obviously not the first time they encountered them, but there were always those who failed to dodge in time, and got caught.

Mu Yuan frowned, Tian Yuan couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are these people, why are they so overbearing!"

The old man behind the booth sighed and said: "That is the magistrate's son, he is used to domineering. It's just that as long as you don't provoke him first, you won't deliberately make things difficult for others. There are many things like this, everyone bear with it." That's it."

Tian Yuan was dissatisfied and said: "Wouldn't this encourage his arrogance?"

The old man said helplessly: "Then what can be done, whoever makes him the son of the magistrate's family, ordinary people can't afford it."

As he was talking, there was a burst of shouting and cursing in front of him.

It turned out that there was an old woman who was carrying a basket of eggs and couldn't dodge, and was knocked to the ground. Not to mention the whole basket of eggs was beaten, the old woman also fell to the ground.The group of wicked servants complained first, claiming that the old woman was blind and blocked their way, yelled and cursed a few words, then walked away without any intention of compensation.

"It's too much!" Tian Yuan was filled with righteous indignation, and he almost wanted to rush up and teach them a few words.

The old man persuaded: "Brother, you must not be impulsive. When you encounter such a thing, you can only admit that you are unlucky."

Mu Yuan frowned deeper, lowered his head and ordered, "Tian Yuan, take a few taels of silver and go buy all those eggs."

"En." Tian Yuan responded, although he was still very upset, but there was nothing he could do.

Unexpectedly, the accident happened again at this time, it seems that they are not the only ones who can't see it.

The group of villains didn't take a few steps when a young man in a blue shirt bumped into them head-on, and the white porcelain vase he was holding in his arms fell out of his hand and shattered to pieces.

The young man in the blue shirt shouted: "Oh, my vase, my vase! This is my family heirloom. My parents gave it to me before they died, so that I can marry my wife. Now let you It broke, how can I explain to my dead parents!"

Amidst the young man's crying, the wicked servants looked at each other, they were the only ones who were the first to file a complaint, when would it be the others' turn to take the lead?

They didn't want to pay attention at first, but the blue-shirted youth firmly grabbed the sleeves of the two people in front of him, and said loudly: "What! You want to run away after breaking someone else's things?! There is no reason for this in the world, you have to pay me."

The two raised their fists and threatened: "Where did you come from, you madman, if you don't let go, I will beat you."

The young man in the blue shirt sneered, without any fear, instead he stretched out his head on purpose, "Hit it, it's best to beat it to death. Otherwise, as long as I have one breath, I will find someone to judge it. Is there such a king in the world?" , hurt people, smashed things, and beat and killed."

While talking, the young man in the blue shirt glanced at the young man in fine clothes surrounded by several people, and said meaningfully: "This young man is knowledgeable at first glance, and he doesn't want to get the bad name of conniving servants to commit crimes, right?" .”

The young man in Chinese clothes had a dark look in his eyes, but he was calm and asked coldly, "How much do you want?"

The young man in the blue shirt raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stretched out a finger, "Not much, just 100 taels."

Before the young man in Chinese clothes could speak, a few evil servants shouted: "You are crazy about money, you are just such a broken vase, dare to blackmail us 100 taels. Do you know who our son is..."

The young man in fine clothes glanced coldly at the servant who was speaking, but the servant immediately fell silent, and then said, "Give him five taels, and we'll go."

The servant took out a piece of silver cursingly and threw it to the young man in blue shirt, "You are lucky, you are rewarded by the young master."

The young man in the blue shirt didn't care either, he reached out to catch the five taels of silver, and said deliberately to the distant figure: "Be careful next time when you walk, don't bump into anyone again."

Turning around, the young man in blue shirt suppressed his arrogance, walked towards the old woman who was still sitting on the ground wiping tears, knelt down, passed the money in his hand forward, and said softly: "Old man, don't cry. This is the money they pay you for your eggs."

The old woman stopped crying when she saw the white money handed to her eyes, and waved her hands: "You don't need so much, you don't need so much, a basket of eggs is not worth so much money."

The young man in the blue shirt put the money into the old woman's hand, and said with a smile, "The rest is the medical money they paid. You are old, and it might be wrong to drop it like this. Go see the doctor."

The old woman's tears fell again, and she said gratefully: "Young man, thank you."

"You're welcome." The young man in the blue shirt helped the old woman up while talking, and he didn't let go until he was sure that the old woman could walk by herself.

Mu Yuan and Tian Yuan stood not far away and saw this scene clearly.The clumsy performance of the blue-shirted youth is a typical touch, but this touch is very satisfying.

Tian Yuan also burst out laughing with a "puff!", with a full face of admiration, he joked: "Master, it seems that we can save the money to buy eggs. That son is really good!"

Mu Yuan also nodded with a smile.

But the old sugar maker behind the two of them shook his head and sighed, "Young master, I'm afraid you'll get into big trouble."

"How could it be?" Tian Yuan said, "Your magistrate didn't do anything to him either."

Mu Yuan also asked, "Why did the old man say that?"

The old man said in a low voice: "The two of you are foreigners. I don't know. Our county magistrate is the most vengeful, and he has a good face. This young man made him lose face in public. The more he doesn't get angry now, the more revenge he will have in the future." It's amazing. Hey..."

Mu Yuan and Tian Yuan looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Afterwards, they lost the mind of wandering around, and the master and servant found a tea house to sit down and rest.

Tian Yuan was still thinking about the old man's words, and said worriedly: "I don't know what's going on with that young man in blue. What the old man said makes people really care."

Mu Yuan didn't know what to say, he was also a little worried, so he could only say: "I hope he will have his own destiny."

"Young master, young master," Tian Yuan suddenly tugged on La Muyuan's sleeve, and said excitedly, "Look, it's that young master. It seems that he's fine."

Mu Yuan followed the trend and looked over, isn't it? The one who is walking into the teahouse is the young man in blue shirt. This is really true. Cao Cao will be there, what a coincidence!But it's nice to see him look so laid back and relaxed, and it doesn't look like anything happened.

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, both feeling a little relieved.

After entering the door, the young man in blue shirt happened to be sitting in front of Mu Yuan and the others.Probably sensing that someone was watching him, the young man in blue looked over. Mu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded to him to show his friendliness. The young man in blue also smiled and clasped his fists in return.

Just as the tea was delivered, the master and servant concentrated on the refreshments.

After a while, the tea ordered by the blue-shirted youth was also delivered.He poured a cup of tea, blew on it, and was about to put it in his mouth, when a passing waiter accidentally tripped and bumped into him, spilling half of the cup of tea on the front of his shirt.

The waiter in the shop hurriedly apologized and wiped his clothes wet with tea with the towel on his shoulders. The young man in blue frowned slightly, saying it was okay, took the towel and wiped it himself.

Mu Yuan raised his head at this moment, and the angle was just right, so he clearly saw that the waiter took the opportunity to retrieve the towel and stuffed something unclear into the arms of the young man in blue shirt.

Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.

Before he could react, a group of yamen servants suddenly broke into the teahouse, and the one who led the yamen servants in was one of the few evil servants he saw at the market just now.

The servant looked around the teahouse, and when he saw the young man in the blue shirt, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly: "Yesterday, my son lost a piece of priceless jade. Someone saw the thief here, so don't panic. We searched out the jade, took the man and left."

When the young man in blue shirt saw the servant, he also felt something was wrong.Sure enough, as soon as the servant waved his hand, two yamen servants came straight to him, twisted his arms, and went to search him.

The young man in the blue shirt maintained his innocence, so he was naturally not afraid.However, when one of the yamen servants found a piece of white jade from his arms, his expression changed immediately, and it was only then that he clearly knew that he was being plotted against.

The yamen servant handed over the found jade to the servant. The servant shook his head in the palm of his hand, tilted his head to look at the young man in blue shirt, and said with a fake smile, "What else do you have to say?"

The blue-shirted youth said helplessly: "I didn't even arrive in Jiangdu yesterday, how could I steal your young master's jade."

The servant sneered: "Who can prove it?"

The young man in the blue shirt sighed, he was traveling alone, so no one could prove it, so he struggled and said, "I didn't steal this piece of jade, it was stuffed on me by the waiter just now while I wasn't paying attention."

The servant looked around, and his sneering eyes returned to the young man, "Who else saw it?"

Just when the servant was proud, he heard a sonorous and forceful reply, "I saw it!"

It was Mu Yuan who just stood up who spoke.
