Chapter 3 New Land Law (II)

On this day, Zhuge Qing went to the market to sell some medicinal materials and mountain goods for salt and other items necessary for life. Dorgon's injuries were almost recovered, so he proposed to go to the market with Zhuge Qing. First, he helped Zhuge Qing carry medicinal materials and mountain goods. Zhuge Qing and his wife not only saved themselves selflessly, but also kept them for so long. If they always eat and don't work, it would be a bit unreasonable. Second, even if they go to the market to inquire about the news outside, they would not be able to stay here for the rest of their lives.

Dorgon's origin is unknown and it is easy to arouse suspicion. The people in the market basically know this old man who comes to the market every half month. They also know that the old couple fled here to settle here twenty years ago. They have no children and no children. Suddenly, one more person will definitely make Dorgon curious about the identity of Dorgon. Therefore, Dorgon has another identity, which is the son of the younger brother who has been separated for many years. In order to find the uncle who has been separated for many years, he has found relatives here after great hardships.

Although the story is a bit bizarre, for the simple mountain people living here, such an explanation is enough to convince them.

After walking dozens of miles of mountain road, Dorgon, who was young and strong, couldn't stand it. He had to admire Zhuge Qing, who was over 70 years old. He could actually walk such a long way at such an old age. No wonder he could carry himself back from the desert.

The market is not very big. It is located on an open hillside and is the only way to enter the Helan Mountains to the north. It has no name. People near the market call it "nameless market".

After seeing the bustling and prosperous Shengjing, this small nameless market was simply ruined in Dorgon's eyes, and there was no place to attract attention.

The only pharmacy shop in the market cannot be regarded as a pharmacy shop, because its main business is not to sell medicine but to purchase medicinal materials. There is only one place in this area of ​​hundreds of miles, which is also the lifeblood of medicinal farmers like Zhuge Qing. Since there is no competition, the price of medicinal materials is extremely low. Even though the people in the pharmacy shop do this, they eat people and don’t vomit bones, but fortunately, this place does not pay taxes, so they can still bear it.

The dozens of kilograms of medicinal materials were only exchanged for a few taels of silver. Old man Zhuge Qing sighed, "This is how it is these days, and there is no paradise."

Old man Zhuge Qing was originally a medicine farmer. His ancestral home was Hejian. His family was not rich, and he was considered wealthy. At least he had no worries about food and clothing based on his ability to cultivate herbs. However, a disaster came, a local bully fell in love with his medicine garden and used tricks to frame him, forcing him to hand over the medicine garden to save his life. Unexpectedly, the bully refused to be content. Since he forced him to help him manage the medicine garden, he refused and was afraid of the bully's ambitions, so he took his wife to the outside of the pass, and did not settle here until twenty years ago.

Since he is a medicinal farmer, he naturally knows the value of each herb, but what can he know? The herb that should have cost hundreds of taels of silver can only be exchanged for a few taels of silver. What is the solution? This is the case everywhere in the world. Zhuge Qing has seen through all this and is discouraged.

"Uncle, we only exchanged a few taels of silver for dozens of kilograms of herbs. This is too cheap!" Dorgon was not idle either. He learned a lot about herbs during the days when Zhuge Qing was recuperating. In particular, Zhuge Qing taught him the value of many rare herbs. Just these, the herbs they brought today are worth a few taels of silver. Who is Dorgon? Even if Zhuge Qing sells herbs, it is his life-savior. Seeing that his life-savior was bullied by these medicinal merchants, the young and energetic Dorgon would not give up like this!

Zhuge Qing's face changed. After getting along for so many days, he still knew Dorgon a little. He was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he hurriedly pulled Dorgon out and walked out: "Dor, you can't be wrong. Uncle is a regular here, and it's the price for each one."

Many Rgon held back this tone and left Zhuge Qing without any twists and turns. But at this time, there was a guy who was not open to his eyes. He borrowed the courage from somewhere and sneered at Dorgon's back: "Boy, tell you, your old man's herbs are more than that little money, but what can you do? Who doesn't know that only we can collect these medicinal materials here? Here, I say they are worth as much as they are. Even ginseng, I can make it the price of radish. Do you believe it?"

"Haha..." After hearing this, several guys who were busy sorting out the categories burst into laughter. They were so proud that they couldn't say anything about their laughter, and they didn't know that they had already messed with a bad star.

Who is Dorgon? How could he bear such a cowardly aura? He couldn't bear it immediately. He broke free from Zhuge Qing's hand and walked to the guy who was sneering behind him with a look of evil spirits. The top leader lifted it from behind the counter and threw it on the ground.

The sudden change scared the entire pharmacy shop silly, and the guy who fell to the ground was even more frightened and looked at Dorgon who was approaching him step by step.

Dorgon was chased by that brother, and he had already been full of resentment. This guy was so rude that he was so rude that he just wanted to die, which just attracted the resentment in Dorgon's heart.

Dorgon himself is an invincible general on the battlefield, and his strong blood-killing aura has long been generated. If this were not the case, how could he shake the arrogant generals under his command?

"Go, call your shopkeeper over. I want to see who he is like bullying and dominating the market like this. A mere little guy actually said such a big talk!" Dorgon knew that bullying a guy couldn't calculate anything. One guy left and another guy. If the boss had not settled the boss, these medicinal farmers who worked hard to collect herbs in the mountains would still be squeezed by him. Anyway, he was leaving, so he should do something for Zhuge Qing and his wife.

"Who dares to go to my Du's medicine shop and don't want to survive, right?" Only a sound of rage came from the back hall of the medicine shop.

A burly man in his forties lifted the curtain of the inner hall and walked out. His eyes flashed with a cold and vicious light, his face dark, so he was wearing a good piece of Hangzhou silk, and a pair of iron galls kept turning in his right hand.

Zhuge Qing secretly regretted not explaining the situation here with Dorgon before coming, and it was a big trouble now.

"Mr. Du, you are here. It's this kid. Come to the medicine shop to make trouble!" The guy on the ground saw the boss appearing, and kept crawling and grabbing the burly man's clothes, saying in great grievance.

When Zhuge Qing saw that it was not good, he took the idea of ​​calming down the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the burly man and said, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Du, the old man is ignorant, and he bumped into this guy. I've apologized to you here."

When Dorgon saw the burly man's posture, he knew that the other party was a trainer, and there were many people on the other party, so he might not be his opponent. There was Zhuge Qing next to him. If he hurt his life-savior, he would not be able to get through it. Besides, the life-savior will have to live here in the future and he could leave. These people are obviously a local domineering person. If he takes revenge on Zhuge Qing and his wife in the future, what should he do? His impulse may bring a catastrophe to the life-savior and his wife. Think about it, it is better not to have a conflict. When he has the opportunity to bring people over in the future, he will wipe out these bullies and domineering people in one fell swoop.

I thought to myself that I did not stop Zhuge Qing from apologizing.

The guy relied on his shopkeeper to come forward, and he suddenly became brave and pushed Zhuge Qing fiercely, cursing: "Old guy, what are you? Get out of here!"

Zhuge Qing didn't expect that the guy would suddenly attack him and was pushed to the ground. When Dorgon saw him, his eyes were blazing fire. He had already planned to calm down the situation, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so arrogant and domineering. He rushed forward and helped Zhuge Qing up. Fortunately, Zhuge Qing was strong and nothing was wrong.

The shopkeeper Du had no intention of blaming his friend in his eyes. Instead, his pair of eagle eyes never left Dorgon because he felt that the young man had a noble aura and a little danger.

More importantly, he had never seen the young man in front of him, and was a completely stranger, so he had to treat him with caution.

"Bang, bang" two crisp slaps sounded, and the guy who pushed Zhuge Qing to the ground just now suddenly covered his face and fell to the ground. The corners of his mouth were covered with blood and he started to wail.

These two slaps were naturally caused by Dorgon. Even if Dorgon held a calm attitude, he would have to teach a lesson to this guy who pretended to be powerful.

"Do you know the consequences when you hit Du's friend in front of Du's place?" Du Zhang's eyes became colder, but he didn't want to act rashly before he knew the other party's identity.

"Hehe, if you don't offend me, I won't offend me. Your friend is too arrogant and domineering. Not only will he insult my uncle, he also pushes him to the ground. I will teach you a lesson in the slaves!" Dorgon said without fear at all.

"I don't care what he has done. Those who hurt me will not give me face, so I left one hand or one leg for you to choose!" Manager Du sneered.

Dorgon changed color and the person in front of him was indeed a local bully. He looked around and found that the people who were watching the fun had already disappeared. Except for Zhuge Qing and him, all of them were from each other.

This is a place where three people don’t care. Even if you kill someone, there will be no government to take care of it. Therefore, whoever has a big fist will live for a long time. There are already many people who die at the hands of Manager Du. Those who can occupy this place to operate herbs and bully the market are definitely not good people.

"Uncle, you will be leaning on me later, let's fight out first!" Dorgon quietly ordered Zhuge Qing.

Things changed so quickly that Zhuge Qing didn't know how to deal with it. After hearing Dorgon's words, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes".

Dorgon did not carry a knife, so Zhuge Qing brought a medicine hoe. The medicine hoe had basically no other effect than digging herbs in Zhuge Qing's hands. However, when Dorgon's hands, it was a killing weapon, especially the edge blade of the medicine hoe. After decades of wear and tear, it had become extremely sharp and bloodless.

"kill!"

Here, Manager Du cannot tolerate anyone challenging his authority.

At the order of the shopkeeper Du, the pharmacy shop showed their ferocious faces, pulled out the weapons they carried with them or hidden in the medicine shop, and slashed at Dorgon and Zhuge Qing. Looking at the skillful movements of these people, you will know that this kind of murder is something they often do, and this is a nest of thieves!

Who is Dorgon? He has not changed his color among the thousands of troops. How could he be afraid of these five or six guys holding sharp swords? If he hadn't been concerned about Zhuge Qing's safety, he would have to fight with these people today. Now he can only choose to retreat to the door of the pharmacy and get out for the time being.
