Chapter 233 Something happened to him and you are sitting together
“Let go! Seeking death!”
The escort noticed that the man had not moved. When he turned around, he realized that Pang Jiming had done something good, and his expression immediately changed. , stared at him fiercely and cursed.
Tieniu looked panicked.
He didn't understand. He was walking away in shackles and shackles, so why did the official suddenly come to arrest him?
Tieniu doesn’t understand, but after all, Pang Jiming was once an official in Daliang, and he has always interacted with grassroots officials. He is not only familiar with their methods of governance, but also well versed in this situation. It's definitely not a good thing for Tieniu to be given special "care" by an official.
Tieniu has been really good to their family these days. After dragging his family into exile, Pang Jiming, who has made up his mind to clean up his family and ignore others, shows a confused look on Tieniu's face. For a moment, he still couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
"Master Chao, although Tieniu is alone, he has been obedient along the way and has no intention of leaving the team. It is difficult to travel in foggy weather, so just leave him here with everyone."
Tieniu looked at him. Although he still didn't understand the hidden meaning of Pang Jiming's words, he had a good impression of Pang Jiming, the down-and-out water officer, in the past few days. He knew in his heart that Pang Jiming would not disobey official duties for him without any reason.
So Tieniu stood quietly, neither saying anything nor struggling, so as not to cause trouble to Pang Jiming.
The other party was helping him. When Tieniu was in danger, he remembered the words left by his father who died long ago.
When you meet someone who sincerely helps you, he is your noble person and benefactor.
The escort wanted to do something, but was interrupted by a dirty criminal, and he felt very unhappy, but he knew Pang Jiming, a former water officer in Jiangnan Province, and the crime was not serious. The younger one, the whole family was considered obedient after being exiled.
"If you say you want to keep people, you will keep them? Who the hell are you?"
Pang Jiming's heart sank, and he found that after the other person said this, his eyes drifted to the side unconsciously. Pang's wife was so frightened that she hugged the child tightly and moved behind Pang Jiming in small steps to avoid the extremely uncomfortable eyes of the official.
Pang Jiming moved a step to block the opponent's view.
He knew in his heart that there was no way the official would let go without any benefit, but right now, Pang Jiming was penniless and could not afford to take care of the errand. But if he could just watch the Tieniu brothers being beaten and tortured, His conscience, which is still alive, still can't get over it.
A contemptuous sneer.
The escort used his hand to split open Pang Jiming's hand that grabbed Tieniu, "You don't even care about yourself, you still want to protect others? You don't even look at how much you weigh."
Inside and outside the words, don’t do the porcelain work without the diamond.
No benefit, no accommodation.
Tieniu, who could turn a corner with just a little thought, saw Pang Jiming's expression of embarrassment, but he was quite enlightened. Instead of not minding it, he was very grateful and said: "Brother Pang Pang is interested, I Tieniu has remembered it in his heart, don’t worry, it’s okay.”
Throughout his exile, Tieniu had seen many such scenes in the team.
"Hurry up and follow me!" The escort was delayed for a moment, and he didn't get any benefits, so he became even more aggressive.
"Master, please wait--"
Behind Pang Jiming, a timid voice came from Pang's wife's mouth.
"Hey, Mrs. Sister-in-law, are you calling me?"
When the woman called him, the escort's face instantly turned from gloomy to bright and bright.
There were many prisoners around, looking unhappy, calling someone Mrs. Sister-in-law, they were so shameless.
Pang's wife tried her best to squeeze out a small piece of silver from her belt, and pressed it against her husband Pang Jiming's back from under his elbow into his palm.
"Husband, this is the only thing left."
Pang Jiming stared blankly at the broken silver in his palm. This...he didn't even know that his wife still had silver?
Probably because the matter had been kept secret for too long, Pang's wife felt uncomfortable on her face. She turned her back and hugged a pair of children, silently looking back and forth at the dazed and frightened expressions of the two children.
She didn’t know whether what she did today was right or wrong.
She was even more afraid that her husband would be silent about hiding money from her and create a gap in her heart for a while.
After waiting for a long time, I didn’t hear a reproach from my husband Pang Jiming. Instead, I felt a warm and broad chest on my back.
“Thank you, madam, for helping me in times of crisis.”
Pang’s wife’s eyes turned red.
The first time Pang Jiming gave up money to please an official, it was to help others.
After handing over the pieces of silver, the escort got the benefit, so he naturally let Tieniu go, leaving him to continue on his way in the middle of the team. However, before leaving, in order to avoid his temporary compassion becoming unintended, he took a bite of the silver, and Leng Sensen threatened: "Since Pang Da people I have said good things to you. Even if I don’t look at the monk’s face, I still want to look at the Buddha’s face. It’s inconvenient to walk in foggy weather. You kid, don’t get in trouble with our errands. You can walk as you please. If you dare to think of running away, don’t blame me. We are not polite. We will kill you on the spot. We don’t have to explain it to anyone.”
Tie Niu glanced at Pang Jiming and nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Cha, I never thought about running away.”
"If you run away, the Pang family will suffer." The escort glanced at the Pang family twice, and then met Pang Jiming's eyes, "Since you helped him guarantee, something will happen to him I want you to sit down together, have you thought about it?”
Pang Jiming really wanted to scold the other party bloody, but he still had no choice but to speak.
"Don't worry, Lord, I understand."
After the escort left, the surrounding prisoners were whispering, and many of them were mocking the Pang family for being stupid. On the way to exile, Who would risk their life and property as a guarantee for others? Full of food.
Heading down with passion, Pang Jiming regained some sense, and couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.
But when he looked up and saw Tieniu, who had been saved by the couple, carrying his youngest son, who had been complaining that his feet hurt and couldn't walk, through the heavy fog, the regret he felt was rising again. Almost gone.
That’s it, it’s done, no regrets.
There was an episode from the Pang family. Because Zhang Dayi had always wanted to win him over, he specially asked the Xie family guards to keep an eye on him. It didn't take long for this matter to be spread to Zhang Dayi's ears.
Zhang Dayi used the stick that Xie Wuying found for him as a crutch. Hearing this, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"It seems that Pang Jiming is not a stubborn person." There will be a chance in the future.
Zhang Dayi was full of confidence, but after hearing this, Xie Yuchuan had another idea in his mind about Pang Jiming and the prisoner named Tieniu.
Let’s talk about it while we’re walking, Xie Yuchuan thought.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
The climate is getting colder, and it is not uncommon for the moisture in the mountains and forests to rise in the early morning.
But it is obvious that the heavy fog this morning is different from the past. After walking for more than an hour, the fog has dispersed, and there is no way forward, let alone fog.
While driving in the wilderness, I am most afraid of foggy weather blocking the road and not being able to see anything in front of me.
Xiong Jiushan led his men at the front of the team, fearing that they would get lost in circles on the post roads in the mountains and forests.
The post road here is too damaged. Under the thick fog, the green pine trees used as signs on the roadside seem to be unclear. Each tree seems to be the same length. There are no landmarks in Wuli. This road The further they walked, the more anxious Xiong Jiushan became.
