After buying a stone of rice at the rice shop, I told him to hurry out of the city in an ox cart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Uncle info asked me, "Aren't you looking for Bai Jixian, and how do you go to him when I'm gone?"

I said, "You don't have to worry about that, I already know he's in the leather business, so I'll just take my time." This place in Luzhou is not peaceful, you better hurry home while the sky is still early!"

"Then I'll give you the money. The uncle stretched out his hand to take out the fifty taels of silver in his bosom and give it to me.

I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't expose your wealth, be careful of being targeted by people with bad intentions." ”

The uncle stopped with a very good look, and I said to him again, "I have something to ask you, this money is considered to be your reward, and it is also the cost of your errands, you can honestly carry it in your arms." ”

The uncle said very truthfully, "Girl, you just have to tell me if you have something, you have already bought rice for our old couple, I don't dare to ask for so much money." ”

I said, "Uncle, listen to me first, I gave you this silver to ask you to repair the grave of Yuqiao and her father, and you don't need to repair it too well, just add soil and erect a new monument." In the future, if you celebrate the New Year's holidays, you go to sweep the tomb, don't let the grass be buried. If the next time I come back, I will find a good place to move the graves of his father and his mother to the same place.

The uncle looked at me with red eyes, "Girl, you are the kindest girl I have ever met in my life." ”

I smiled and said, "I kowtowed to Yu Qiao and worshiped my sister, her father is my father, and I should do this for her." ”

The uncle said very simply, "Okay, girl, don't worry! Even if we are gone, I will let my children and grandchildren guard the graves of Big Brother Bai and his wife." ”

I said, "Uncle, you must remember that the rice and silver must be properly hidden, and you must not let anyone know." In the event of a heavy snowstorm, you and your aunt's food and clothing must not be publicized, so as not to cause disaster. ”

The uncle smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl! Your aunt and I are both children of poor families, and we are used to living a hard life, and we will not spend any money on it." ”

I frowned and said, "Uncle, you don't understand what I mean, if there is a catastrophe, countless people will die, and then people will become evil ghosts in order to live." I'm afraid that when the time comes, these rice and silver will not save you, but will harm you. ”

Listening to my words, the uncle's expression suddenly became solemn and said, "I understand the girl's words, I am just a country man, I can't think so much, and I can't think so far, thank you girl for worrying about me and your aunt." ”

In ancient times, there were often disasters, and as long as he lived for a long time, he would always experience cannibalism, so he must have understood what I said.

I said, "I just hope that the next time I see you and my aunt, you'll be okay." ”

The uncle smiled, "Next time you come back, your aunt and I will definitely treat you well." ”

What I wanted to say was said, and the things that should be explained were also explained, and I laughed and tears and urged him to drive the ox cart out of Luzhou City.

This farewell is long and wide, and the goodbye period is slim, I only hope that good people will be rewarded in the end, and you can all be well.

After sending my uncle away, I turned back to the city and looked for the leather shop opened by Bai Jixian. Finding this shop wasn't as hard as I thought, it just took a few more legs.

His shop is in the market in Dongcheng, where there are more than a dozen large and small leather shops. It was cold, and it was the time when the leather business was booming, and the streets were full of traffic, and some of them were well-dressed rich people. Bai Kee's store is not big or pompous, but it is the most lively of all the shops.

Bai Ji's bustle was not because the business was booming, but because three merchants from Qizhou were collecting debts in the shop, and there was a woman in the shop who was sitting on the ground with her head covered and crying. There were three floors of people watching jokes outside the shop, some of them were merchants, and some were people from nearby shops. I learned the ins and outs of what they said, and I heard a few other things.

The thing is probably like this, these three businessmen from Qizhou ordered a large amount of fur in Bai Ji two months ago, and each family gave a deposit of 3,000 taels, and the agreement was to deliver the goods after a month, but when the delivery deadline came, Bai Ji was closed, and the Bai couple and his buddies ran away with no one left. The three businessmen were afraid that they would not get back a penny after suing the official, so they did not dare to sue the official, so they formed a gang and secretly guarded the shop.

Today, Bai Jixian's wife secretly returned to prepare to pass the shop to Yu Ji next door, but they happened to be blocked in the shop. But she lied and said that she didn't know her husband's whereabouts, and the three businessmen from Qizhou refused to give up, so they made a fuss.

Bai Jixian has not been open for a long time, but he has not done less to collude with ruffians to deceive and boycott the market, and the evaluation of the Bai couple by the people in the nearby shops is one-sided, all of which are bad comments. It is said that the Bai couple clearly wanted to pay the bill, and some people said that they had met the couple in and out of the restaurant together a few days ago. This Bai couple is really hateful!

This riot eventually attracted the guards patrolling the city, and Bai Jixian's wife brazenly said that the three merchants in Qizhou wanted to do bad things to her on the grounds of debt collection. The leading general reprimanded the merchants without asking any questions, and had the guards drive them out of the market.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the people do not fight with the officials, so although these three felt wronged, they did not have a hard top, and left obediently. After I followed Bai Jixian's wife out of the market, I found that they had been waiting outside the market, and they quietly followed after Bai Jixian's wife came out. They followed behind Bai Jixian's wife, and I followed behind them, which really meant that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind.

Bai Jixian's wife came by carriage, and naturally she also took a carriage when she left. The lost horse did not run very fast, and on the way she stopped several times to buy wine and vegetables, otherwise the three merchants and I would not have been able to catch up even if they were tired. After several tosses, she finally entered the post house in Dongcheng. By this time it was already dark, and the people on the road were all in a hurry.

"No wonder he hasn't been seen, it turns out that he is hiding here. The three merchants stopped outside the inn and beat their chests angrily.

"This is a post house, we people can't even get in, it's not easy to talk about it!"

"Why don't we go and report to the official? Let the government arrest him? Even if the money doesn't come back, he will have this bad breath. ”

"He can even live in a post house, so he must have something to do with the government. If you don't get the money back, what if you put yourself in it again?"

"Alas!" the three sighed in unison.

That's when I leaned over and said, "How many people, do you want me to help?"

Seeing that they were all staring at me vigilantly, I explained, "He owes a few people money, but he owes me his life." I'm willing to help a few of you get him out of the inn, and you just have to catch him and make him pay for his pants. ”

One of them said, "Who knows if you're with him trying to frame us?"

I laughed and said, "You want your money back, don't you even want to take this risk? ”

Although these three people are businessmen, they are not huge rich families, otherwise they would not have worked tirelessly to stay outside Bai Ji for a month. A man made up his mind and said, "Two brothers, things have come to this point, why are we still worried about this? I was ruined by him, my wife was separated, anyway, I am already alone, I am willing to take this risk." ”

I glanced at the person who spoke, he was about thirty years old, and there was a straightforwardness and righteousness between his eyebrows.

He looked at each other, and the other two older people followed and slapped their thighs, "That's it! ”

Once they all agreed, our partnership was concluded. I asked the upright-faced merchant to help me climb over the wall and set a fire in the firewood room behind the inn. Because there was a lot of hay to feed the horses, the flames suddenly jumped to the roof, and with the help of the wind, the fire was called a wang!

When the fire was lit, I ran all over the yard and shouted, "It's on fire, run away!"

The post man was busy directing the post guards to extinguish the fire, but this day was dry and dry, and the fire came together, where it was so easy to save, only the tendency of burning bigger and bigger. Basically, the people living in the post house were officials, and when they smelled the smell of smoke, there was no one who didn't run out. I saw that it was almost over, so I ran out the back door with some of the servants.

Out of the back door, I thought about going to the front to see if the three of them had caught Bai Jixian, and I didn't walk a few steps but was covered by someone and was stunned. When I woke up, it was pitch black, and I just felt like I was gagged and lying in a Mercedes car with my hands and feet tied. In addition to the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, the sound of people urging horses is the sound of the wheels of the wheels. I don't know what kind of broken car it is, but the biting cold wind poured straight into it, and I shivered from the cold.

I twisted and found myself unable to even sit up in the bumpy carriage. At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted violently, and my body rolled in the carriage, and finally it seemed as if I had hit something hard.

The thing, "Oh!" screamed, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
