[Chapter Word Count:3213Last Updated:2014-10-0407:00:00.0]
"This is the headquarters when Second Master Lian chased and killed me a few years ago? Sure enough, the scenery is good, and you can see the county town of Yi at a glance. Tsk, Liu Xian Ling was also next to him at that time, right?" Xiao Letian stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery of the city, and said with emotion.
At this time, Liu Sanchang, Liu Xian Ling was already waiting in the room, he held the subordinate salute in a proper manner, stood beside Xiao Letian and said with a smile, "The second master of Lian said that he wanted to take me to see the robbers, how did he know that he was catching and caught, and it was you who caught the raptor! As the saying goes, it's not that the dragon is not the river, hahaha......"
Qipin County Order This is the lowest level of the official class, and below him are the officials who do not enter the stream, and the cornerstones of these officialdoms have already tempered themselves perfectly, and Xiao Letian was amused in three or two sentences.
"Sit, sit, if outsiders see Liu Xian Ling eating with me, a second devil, you still have to let people participate in a book?" Hahaha......" Xiao Letian smiled and sat on the main seat.
Liu County Ling didn't speak, and Wang Hu, the head catcher next to him, said with a smile, "I see who dares!" In Yi County, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Mr. Xiao and the county commander, I, Wang Hu, let them survive and not die, and they can't ......."
"Okay, okay, I know how powerful you are, let's sit down together, let them serve the food......" Xiao Letian spoke, and the people around him dared to serve the table, Fan Yao, Liu County Ling, Wang Hu, and some officials of the county government sat down with smiles one by one, waiting for the wine and food to be served.
At this time, Teng Teng, the boss of Liuhe Building, walked upstairs and personally brought a large porcelain plate, on which a pair of pure white bear paws were steaming, which was actually a pair of northern white bear paws imported from the Rakshasa country.
The boss put the plate in the middle of the table, and before he opened his mouth to report the name of the dish, he first lay on the ground and banged three heads, "Engong is on top, and the villain worships ......" Good guy, the three slabs on the floor are ringing, and it is estimated that the ceiling on the second floor will be dusted.
Liu Xian Ling found that Xiao Letian was puzzled, and hurriedly whispered, "The boss of Liuhelou has been oppressed by Lian Er all the year round, and he has no less than 1,000 taels of filial piety every year, and one of his concubines has also been insulted by Lian Er, so it is also appropriate to call you a benevolent father, and it should be ......."
At this moment, Xiao Le suddenly realized, at that moment he suddenly felt that he was so tall, he really had a feeling of being a hero, he trampled Lian Er to death, and by the way, he also gained a lot of prestige, this business is really cost-effective.
Xiao Lotian raised his hand to signal the boss to get up, and then said to the officials at the table, "Look at it, the people are grateful to repay their kindness, as long as you are a little bit good to them, they will remember you for a lifetime." Lian Er, that old thing, fish and meat people, how is it now? The family wealth is scattered and he can't afford to have a stroke, he looks so pitiful......"
"But who is to blame for this? The villain is arrogant when he is proud, and even takes pleasure in bullying the weak, how can this kind of person have no retribution, you adults should keep it in mind!" Xiao Letian actually taught these officials a serious lesson. What is even more peculiar is that these officials stretched their necks one by one, as if listening to the lectures of the officials, and their faces were full of conscientiousness.
Wang Hu was the first to pat his chest and said, "Xiao Ye's words are reasonable, I am also from the people, I naturally know the suffering of the people, I used to be low and I couldn't accept some bribes, but now I receive three times as much as Xiao Ye's money every month, I have enough to spend, no matter how greedy I am, I am really not human......"
Wang Hu was followed by the statements of all the officials, in their eyes, since Xiao Letian had more money than the imperial court, then the first peak in their hearts was naturally Xiao Letian. In these years, loyalty has a price, and whoever gives more money is the boss.
Under the command of the boss, a table of eight treasures was served, nothing more than sixteen dishes of mountain eight treasures and water eight treasures, which looked like the number was not much, but this quality was really incomparable to later generations.
Bear paws, deer antlers, elephant pulls, humps, civets, leopard fetus, deer tendons, monkey brains, these are the eight treasures of the mountain.
Bird's nest, shark fin, large black cucumber, fish maw, scallop, abalone, mussels, baby fish, these are the eight treasures of water.
The eight treasures of mountains and rivers gathered together a full sixteen hard dishes, and Xiao Lotian was dazzled to watch. It's not messy, it's not good, many dishes are only known by their names, and you have never seen the real thing. Originally, in Prince Gong's Mansion, the flowing water banquet prepared by Yi for Xiao Letian was even more sumptuous than this, but unfortunately, in order to explain the plan of the special industrial zone, Xiao Letian did not eat the final finale at all.
Today is good, the gluttony is about to break the fast.
In fact, the Bazhen noodles handed down since ancient times, the dishes are different according to the region and the season, generally want to eat a real Bazhen noodles, in addition to the big restaurants in the capital, restaurants like Liuhelou should be prepared at least more than a month in advance.
In order to repay Xiao Letian's kindness, the owner of Liuhelou spent two months stocking up, especially the pair of pure white bear paws, which were purchased from the caravan of the Russians outside the mouth, and that pair cost a hundred taels of silver.
Fan Yao, who was sitting next to Xiao Letian, knew the goods from south to north, and he could estimate the general price of this table with a casual sweep of his eyes, and he would definitely not be able to do it without five hundred taels. This kindness is really interesting, and it seems that there will be some good things in the future, and I really can't forget this caring boss.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, just as Xiao Lotian was explaining some interesting history of Europe to this group of officials, suddenly crying and people's quarrels were faintly heard from outside the window. Xiao Lotian looked out of the window in confusion and found that at a corner not far away, figures in the alley were flickering, as if there were many people arguing.
"What's going on?" Xiao Letian asked puzzled. When Wang Hu saw that someone dared to disturb Mr. Xiao's eating, he got up and walked out, "Sir, eat slowly, I'll take a look, who is so bold?"
When Wang Hu walked out of the private room, Xiao Lotian gave the guards waiting next to him a look, and then the two guards hurriedly caught up.
After a while, the noise outside became louder and louder, and it sounded like a woman crying out for grievances. There are also strange sounds that are neither yin nor yang.
"Why doesn't the sky open his eyes, you are forcing our family to die, you can actually regret what you said is good, are you still human? I will die for you to see......" Before the words fell, I only heard a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
Xiao Letian couldn't sit still at this time, he stood up again and looked over, and found that the alley around the corner was suddenly surrounded by a group of people, and many people were rushing there.
Just when Xiao Letian wanted to go downstairs to see what was going on, one of the apprentices of the headcatcher Wang Hu suddenly ran up, knelt on the ground and said, "It's Xiaowangzhuang in the east of the city, the daughter-in-law of the tuberculosis ghost, she just hit the wall and found ...... dead."
"Why is this?" Liu Xian Ling hurriedly asked, he didn't want to lose face in front of Xiao Letian.
"My lord, we can't manage this matter, and we can't manage it!" "I said with an embarrassed face, "Today's matter is linked to the palace, where is the accident with the knife Liu......"
As soon as they heard the words Xiaodao Liu, the faces of the people present became embarrassed, and they generally guessed what it was. And at this time, Xiao Letian's guards also ran back.
"Mr. Qiyu, these bastards are so inhuman, they are just brutes......" In the guard's angry words, Xiao Letian finally understood the cause and effect. It turns out that today's matter is linked to the eunuchs in the palace.
Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, although the number of eunuchs has been greatly reduced compared with the Ming Dynasty, it has not been canceled, and many eunuchs have to be sent out of the palace every year in the palace to select small eunuchs to supplement the palace in various places.
Generally, the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were mostly from Baoding, Cangzhou, Daimyo, and Langfang. On the one hand, it is densely populated, and there are enough school-age children to choose from, and on the other hand, because the accent and living habits are very close to the capital, it is not so much trouble to use.
Therefore, in these counties around the capital, there are branches of Jingshifang, and those families who can't afford to raise their sons ruthlessly let their children enter the palace as eunuchs, so that they can eat well.
Xiaodao Liu has a connection with the palace worship room, and the eunuchs selected by Yi County must sign up from him first, and they will also be stabbed. In fact, according to the rules, the eunuch should be sent to the capital and arranged by the Jingshifang to cut the knife, but due to a certain mortality rate, the Jingshifang simply tried to save trouble and let the people below take care of it.
After cutting that knife, you survived and didn't die after ten days, so you have the qualifications to enter the palace as a eunuch, if you can't survive your life, then you can only blame yourself.
The daughter-in-law of Xiao Wangzhuang's tuberculosis ghost, who grows and sells vegetables for a living all the year round, because the family is really poor and can't get by, in order to let her son have something to eat, she ruthlessly took her son Ermao to Xiaodao Liu.
It is said that the knife Liu is not bad, he saw that Ermao, this kid has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, good facial features, and no disabilities, so he promised that he would definitely be able to enter the palace, as long as he could survive ten days of life and death after purifying. It was with this guarantee that the mother was ruthless and let her son be stabbed like that.
"But I didn't expect it, the eunuch sent in the worship room this year is so hateful, he actually asked these parents for bribes, saying that a place must be given to him five taels, otherwise he will want to enter the palace. Ermao couldn't be angry, so he went to them to theorize, but that Zheng eunuch actually beat people out without saying a word, and Ermao's mother couldn't be angry, so she hit the wall......"
"Is there anything wrong with people?" Xiao Letian's good mood today is completely gone.
"I've asked a doctor to go, I just saw people and ...... angry"
There was a deathly silence in the private room, and Fan Yao glanced at Xiao Le Angel vigorously, which meant to let him calm down and calm down. But Xiao Letian's heart was like grass, tearing the buckles on his robe, and pacing back and forth in front of the window.
At this time, Liu County Ling also spoke, "Mr. Xiao is naturally compassionate, but there are too many such things, how many can you manage? In this way, I will go back and let this woman go to the county government to do some miscellaneous work, which can be regarded as helping their family!"
After Liu Xian Ling finished speaking, everyone present sighed and shook their heads, don't look at them as officials, but there are too many people in the Qing Dynasty that they can't control, and the eunuchs in the palace are one of them.
Xiao Letian's cold eyes stared at the crowd outside the window, "Go and ask the best doctor, I'll take a look......"
When Fan Yao heard this, he sighed in his heart, "My master, are you going to be nosy again?"
