Chapter 1135
Chapter 1135
After this night, Erfu and the fourth master stopped mentioning the matter of the Ulanala clan, as if it had not happened.
However, Erfu secretly instructed Zhao Dezhu to arrange two inconspicuous little eunuchs to keep an eye on the movements in the West Courtyard, this matter, she didn't even say anything about Shilan and Shiqing who were serving around her, and she also specially asked Zhao Dezhu to tell the little eunuchs sent over not to do anything superfluous, as long as who had been in and out of the courtyard of the Wulanala clan and what the Wulanala clan had done, record them one by one, and pass them back.
If it weren't for the fear that the Ulanala clan would find out about his own small movements, Erfu really wanted to shoot the two palace maids over.
Compared with the little eunuch who is not eye-catching, it is easier for the palace maid to approach the Wulanala clan, but when she thinks of the Wulanala clan's deep scheming, she can only dispel this idea, and she believes that the fourth master will also arrange for someone to stare at it.
In the past, it was okay for the Ulanala clan to hide in the west courtyard without showing a trace, but now......
Hehe, Erfu doesn't believe that there is anything in the Fourth Master's Mansion that can be hidden from the eyes of the Fourth Master.
The busy New Year's month soon passed in a noisy day of gongs and drums, and Erfu, who was tired and lost five or six pounds, lay in the room for two days, until the day when the second dragon raised his head in February, and then spread the word to everywhere to restore the rule of getting up early to say goodbye, and she also came to the big kitchen early, and discussed the menu of the family banquet in the evening with Liu Fatzi, who was in charge.
At the same time, the Wulanala clan, who had also been busy for the whole New Year, saw that there was no news coming from the front yard, but when the matter of Tong Jia's side Fujin had passed, he was busy asking Fuquan to go outside the house to send a letter to Geng Laosan, who was looking at Huiru's family, cutting grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blew and reborn, although Huiru never revealed who the master behind it was until he died, but who can guarantee that Huiru never told his family about it, so Wulanala planned to strike first.
No one knows where Huiru's family is hiding by herself......
As the saying goes, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future.
If the Wulanala clan didn't do the thing, just to get rid of the Huiru family, they would have to get rid of the old and young, and they would not have found out the clues from the sticky pole and Erfu who had been staring at the movement of the West Courtyard.
When Fuquan thought that he had been around the city three times and should have thrown off all the eyeliner that was watching, he didn't expect that the people on the side of the street who seemed to be lying down and not lying and sitting were staring at his every move, nor did he expect that there would be light masters who came and walked high at the sticky pole staring at him.
He hired a carriage in the southern city and headed straight in the direction of the northern city.
The distribution of Sijiu City is very interesting, until modern times, there is still a saying that the east is rich and the west is expensive, the south is cheap and the north is poor, but this statement is not accurate, but there are many ordinary people living in the north city, and Fuquan goes to a large miscellaneous courtyard.
This large compound is not small, and it is also a three-entry courtyard inside and out, but it is full of more than a dozen families.
And in the compound, there is also a difference between the rich and the poor, for example, Geng Laosan's family who lives in the backyard is a real rich family in this courtyard, and the entire backyard is his family, and his family has opened a small door at the root of the back wall in order to facilitate access and be quieter.
It's in an inconspicuous alley, and you can't even get into the car.
Fuquan jumped out of the carriage at the entrance of the small alley and looked left and right for a while, and then he got into the alley and knocked on the black lacquered wooden door.
"Who, who, who is this so uninteresting, this noon ......" With Fuquan knocking on the door, a somewhat pungent female voice soon sounded in the courtyard, responding with complaints and dissatisfaction, and while speaking, he came to the gate of the courtyard with a kick.
Fu Quan's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't say anything, just waited quietly outside the courtyard.
"Who, is it possible that he is a mute, and he doesn't even know how to respond, it's really unlucky......" The woman walked to the door, and muttered curses in her mouth, and knew that this person was not a person of good temperament.
But as soon as she opened the door and saw who it was, her face was filled with flattering smiles.
"It turned out that you were here, look at my cheap mouth, hurry up, please sit inside!" the woman with the married woman's hair in a bun apologized again and again.
"Hmph, our family is outside the house, don't talk about this father-in-law!" Fuquan snorted.
"It's all because I can't speak, Uncle Laifu should sit inside!" the married woman fanned her mouth as if she was apologizing, and immediately changed her words.
"Well, you're welcome. Fu Quan smiled slightly, and walked towards the door.
The married woman stood in the door, looked at the mouth of the alley, and saw that no one noticed the movement here, so she turned around and tied the door, followed Fuquan to the house, while pouring tea for Fuquan, while beckoning her own grandfather Geng Laosan who was asleep in the inner room, and at the same time did not forget to take out the small snacks that she bought yesterday and put them away.
After a while, Geng Laosan came out yawning, and while walking, he closed his eyes and fastened the buckle of his neckline, not to mention how sloppy he looked.
He walked into the hall, first drank the tea bowl and relieved his nerves, then stared at a pair of bull's eyes full of feces, looked directly at Fuquan, and asked with a smile on his face: "I said Brother Fu, why are you here now, isn't it the Fujin master in the mansion who has something to explain!"
"What do you say?" replied Fuquan angrily.
"That's for sure, otherwise Brother Fu, a busy man, wouldn't have been able to go to Beicheng for a walk!" Geng Laosan said with a smile.
"Okay, don't talk to me, I'm here to pass on a message to you, our master asks you to hurry up and dispose of the big, three, small and two old guys, don't do it in the city, pull it outside the city to deal with it, sweep the head and tail, the master has a heavy reward." Fuquan squinted at Geng Laosan with a bit of arrogance, and said in a low voice.
"No, those six people have to be disposed of?" Although Geng Laosan is an executioner who was born to do dirty work, he is not a humanless beast in the end, and he is stupid when he hears Fuquan say that he will exterminate the old man and children.
"What the master ordered, do you think our family can joke with you?" Fuquan replied coldly.
He also knew that such a thing was not authentic, and he was a little ruthless, but thinking about the gentle face with a smile on the corner of his mouth when the side Fujin in the mansion ordered him to come down, he didn't dare to discount it in this kind of thing.
Fuquan thought of the bodhisattva-like smiling face of the Wulanala clan, shuddered in shock, and hurriedly ordered: "Come on, you hurry up, don't miss the master's business, I don't have time to rub my mouth with you here." With that, he dusted off the dust that didn't exist on his body, and walked out with pretense of composure.
Geng Laosan hurriedly chased after the door, nodded all the way and sent Fuquan out of the door, and then turned around and returned to the house.
"Hey, I said what kind of errand are you doing, there are so many people in this old and young, and you will kill them if you say kill?" Geng Laosan, the somewhat spicy and arrogant lady, complained while cleaning up the tea bowl used by Fuquan.
"Don't talk about it anymore, I'm about to die of grievance in my heart, you think I'm willing, it's all people, and it's not a cat or a dog, but if you think about the identity of that person, killing us is as easy as stepping on an ant, it's all fate, who made our lives cheap!" Geng Laosan poured it into his mouth with a big teapot, choking the entire placket soaked, and then replied with a bitter face.
"Okay, okay, I don't care about you, I don't care about you.
I knew that this was the case now, I shouldn't have asked you to quit your executioner's errand in the first place, it would be better to be an errand in the yamen, this is a lawsuit involving human life, and I don't know when it will be a head. When Geng Laosan's lady heard this, she slammed the tea bowl that had been picked up on the table and sighed.
"Don't chatter, take one step at a time, what should I do!" Geng Laosan also sighed helplessly.
After speaking, he walked to the basin stand by the door, wiped his face with the water in the copper basin, and walked out in a robe stained with oil.
Seeing this, Geng Laosan's lady hurriedly chased after him and persuaded in a low voice: "If you want me to say, we won't do anything to the end, we haven't had any children in the past few years of marriage, so it's better to leave the two little ones behind." β
"How can this be done, that dead eunuch has nothing to do with coming to us, and when the time comes, won't it be trouble!" Geng Laosan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he shook his head affirmatively and broke off his daughter-in-law's ridiculous thoughts.
"Come, I'll talk to you carefully. Hu Shi saw that Geng Laosan was not particularly opposed, so he pulled Geng Laosan back into the room with a smile and said his own plans.
She could see that Geng Laosan's life was not so satisfactory, especially since he arrested those people, he drank a lot of wine day and night, and when he was drunk, he hit his head against the wall, or he knelt in front of him and cried, saying that he should not go to the gambling house to mess around, otherwise he would not owe those gambling debts, and his shortcomings were pinched, and even the Hu family was not at peace......
Hu felt sorry for him, but also worried, two days ago and the sister-in-law of the Meng family in the front yard went to Nancheng to listen to the play, just in the garden in the play in the civet cat for the prince, she came up with a similar idea, since she can't afford to offend the side of the prince's mansion, then she wants to leave the capital, but she is afraid that Geng Laosan will not agree, so she has never mentioned it, this Geng Laosan showed regret when he was sober, and knew that the noble man in the house did not intend to keep the lives of the family of six, so she knew that this was her last chanceγ
Otherwise, it is estimated that when Geng Laosan excludes the lives of the six members of that family, it will be their turn!
"Although you owe some money in the gambling house before, but I still have some personal money in my hand, plus if I sell this courtyard, I can also make up one or two hundred taels of silver, with this money, we can live a good life wherever we go!" Hu Shi pulled Geng Laosan into the back room, said the idea that he had been thinking about in his heart for many days, and took out the personal money he had saved from the kang cabinet, and said with a smile.
"Where are you going? That's the people from the Prince's Mansion!?" Geng Laosan shook his head although he was a little moved.
When Hu Shi heard this, he patiently persuaded: "The world is big, I don't believe that she dares to look for us with great fanfare, and we have run away, why should she go to the trouble of looking for us, not to mention that we took away those two children who don't remember, it can be regarded as a handle, and it is estimated that she would like us not to appear for the rest of our lives!"
"Come on, then who can we sell this yard to, if you make a hasty move, you can't sell it at a price, if it is delayed, it may alarm the one in the prince's mansion, don't run away at that time, but still accompany the old and young of the family to be unlucky." Geng Laosan still seemed a little hesitant, firstly, he was a little afraid of leaving this place where he grew up, and secondly, he was also afraid that he would not be able to escape.
Hu knew that Geng Laosan was tempted, but he was afraid that he would have no money in his hand and that life would be difficult, so he patted Geng Laosan on the shoulder with a smile, and said with some excitement: "Didn't I tell you, the sister-in-law of the Meng family in the front yard has a nephew who has won the master's reward and has redeemed himself, and he still has a lot of money in his hand, and he plans to do some small business in Beijing, so he took a fancy to our place, and planned to buy a single-family yard in front of him, open a grocery store, and specialize in the business of neighborhoods."
Look at our yard, the courtyard gate in front of this is not open, isn't it the same as a single house, and there is a ready-made courtyard gate at the root of this back wall, and the yard is also spacious, and there is a wing room for him to make a warehouse, I guess he should be able to agree. β
After speaking, Hu Shi had already jumped up with excitement on his face, and while measuring the room, he talked about his future plans.
Geng Laosan lowered his head and pondered for a while, nodded with a smile, and admitted: "Then do as you say."
But you have to be careful, don't see the real money, don't say that the person who wants to sell the house is us, in case it is the bait released by the prince's mansion, in order to test us, I still go to the Laojun Temple as usual, so as not to be seen by others. β
After speaking, he patted Hu Shi's shoulder with a solemn face and walked out.
The corners of Hu's mouth were filled with joy, he nodded again and again, and sent Geng Laosan out of the door, then carried the dim sum box he bought yesterday, and went to the front yard to find the sister-in-law of the Meng family to listen to the tone, and he was also prepared for the worst in his heart, thinking that if it really didn't work, he would rather give up this courtyard, and he would have to pull Geng Laosan to leave the capital safely.
Sometimes, the woman is more decisive than the man.
Besides, Geng Laosan's side, he bought some steamed buns and vermicelli vegetable soup from the stall he often went to, asked for two side dishes, and made a pot of wine, and then walked out of the city leisurely.
Xu was too relaxed, Xu was too negligent, or should it be said that Fuquan cheated him, anyway, he was directly followed.
In a dilapidated house next to Laojun Temple, Geng Laosan's two sworn brothers were in a panic, and when they saw Geng Laosan coming over with wine and vegetables, they came out of the house with a smile on their faces.
