_Chapter 16—No Appearance Is Amenated
Chapter 16 No man shall be disguised
Fan Hongdao and Yang Laoshi continued to the north, but there was a small gap in the companions. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This little guy is the entourage of the eldest young master of the Yang family, and his name is Jinbao, he knows what happened best, and he said it in detail on the road.
It turned out that this young master Yang and his friends came to Gouyan Hutong yesterday to visit the door, but because of the shyness in his pocket, he could only sit at the famous prostitute's house and drink tea. Because he was reluctant to leave, and the time was a little longer, the old bustard was unhappy, and thought they were wasting their work, so he sarcastically said a few words to them.
In fact, prostitutes who open their doors to do business are the most annoying to such customers, and there is a saying in the industry that "accompany wine not tea", which refers to this kind of thing.
Young Master Yang couldn't be excited, so he immediately ordered a banquet, and stayed overnight after getting drunk. The next day, Young Master Yang found that his friend had slipped away, leaving only himself, but he didn't have much money, so he was detained.
Fan Hongdao was very speechless, what kind of is this! He couldn't help but complain: "It's also the eldest young master of the Yang family, is there still this bit of silver?"
Jinbao said helplessly: "The banquet money plus the night money, in the end, it was calculated a total of two taels of silver, the young master really can't take it out, who told the master to discipline it tightly." Even yesterday, I went to Gooyan Hutong to visit the door, and I also came out in the name of members. ”
It turned out that the prostitute with a slight grade in the imperial capital had a price of two taels of silver a night, and when he heard this market, Fan Hongdao cried silently in his heart, and he was unable to continue to complain.
His current annual salary is only twenty taels, and he can't earn more than two taels a month on average. Therefore, two taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, and it is not something that can be carried on the body casually.
After another quarter of an hour, the three of them came to the vicinity of the county government of Daxing County. However, they did not enter the gate of the county office, and after inquiring, they went directly into a courtyard on the street next to the county office, and the class room was here.
The so-called class room does not belong to the official regulations of the county government, but is only a place for the officials to rest or temporarily detain prisoners. For example, if the official was ordered to bring people, if he didn't arrive at the hall time, it would be difficult to throw people into the prison, so he needed a place to settle them, so the class room outside the county government came into being.
The reason why Fan Hongdao dared to come over was that he understood that the class room was located outside the county office, and it was not risky for him to come here, unless he ran to the door of the county government and shouted that he was Fan Hongdao of Jinling who wrote a poem a few days ago.
Sure enough, Young Master Yang was detained in the east wing of the courtyard, and there were three or five servants in the bright room outside, drinking tea around the Eight Immortals table.
Yang Laoshi saw it from afar, turned his head to Fan Hongdao and said, "You and I don't want to negotiate together, so as not to have no room for maneuver." Therefore, I will test it first, and if I lose proportion, Mr. Fan will save the scene. ”
Fan Hongdao nodded, what Yang honestly said was an old and serious method, and it was safer to do so when the situation was unclear. For him personally, of course, it is also the best choice, it is best to have less dealings with the Daxing County Ya, and it is best if Yang Laoshi can handle it directly.
After that, Yang honestly and respectfully climbed the stairs, entered the bright room of the east wing, and talked to the officials. Fan Hongdao couldn't hear what he said, so he could only watch from afar.
Not long after, Yang Laoshi turned back, his face full of helplessness. "The poor men said that it is natural to repay debts, and first take out the silver before speaking. ”
Fan Hongdao was relieved, and pointed out: "Earlier, I was worried that it was designed by the enemy, but now it seems that it is really just relying on other people's money. If you can solve a problem with money, it's not a problem, why don't you just give them money?"
Yang honestly said distressedly: "I didn't bring any silver when I came out, and we can't take out this silver for a while, I don't know if Mr. Fan has silver taels by your side?"
Fan Hongdao was stunned, hearing this, why did he still ask him for money? With his current situation, don't ask for money if you ask anything! He was penniless before, but he has just entered the Yang family today, and he has not yet received the money, and he is still penniless!
In this way, Fan Hongdao asked rhetorically: "The dignified Yang family, it won't be impossible to take out two or three taels of silver, right?"
Yang Laoshi's face was sad: "Our Yang family's father-in-law has two silver and silver, and only the master and the master mother can use it." But now that the master is not at home, and this eldest young master was not born by the master's mother, it is difficult to explain one of them! We don't want the master's mother to know about this matter, and even the master doesn't want him to know!"
Fan Hongdao was thoughtful, and immediately understood the meaning.
Dare to love that the eldest young master of the Yang family is not born to Mrs. Yang now, it seems that the relationship is still very sensitive, maybe there is still a bit of a bloody house fighting element, so Yang is honest and unwilling to let Mrs. Yang know about today's incident.
In other words, even if Mrs. Yang knew, she was afraid that she would not allocate two silver taels to redeem herself for the eldest young master, and even intensified her efforts to watch the excitement on the side.
Then the problem is complicated, Fan Hongdao is deeply sympathetic to Yang Laoshi, the housekeeper, and it is not good to be caught in the middle.
When it comes to money issues, Fan Hongdao, a poor egg, can't help either.
Yang honestly struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Give up this face and go to the poor master to ask for a favor." ”
Then Yang Laoshi walked to the east wing room again and negotiated with the officials. After a while, I saw the official take out a young man in a satin shirt from the inside and deliver it to Yang Laoshi.
Fan Hongdao saw it from a distance, and secretly admired that this housekeeper really had some ability, and he could actually snatch food.
You must know that most of the servants in this world are greedy people like wolves and tigers, and what they eat is the bowl of rice inside and outside the public gate.
But he saw Yang Laoshi leading the young man over and said to Fan Hongdao: "You can not use the silver taels today, but you have to draw a pledge." Mr. Fan waited a little longer, and the eldest young master and I would go to the courtyard next to it. ”
Of course, Fan Hongdao had no opinion on this, and saw Yang Laoshi and the eldest young master Yang under the escort of the officials, passing through the moon gate to the side courtyard, and Jinbao also followed the eldest young master to ask for warmth and loyalty.
Although he didn't do much, it would be good if today's matter could be solved, Fan Hongdao thought secretly. He was looking up at the white clouds and dogs, and when he was watching the wind and clouds, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several officials gradually approaching him out of the corner of his eye.
Fan Hongdao frowned and looked at the visitor vigilantly. The leading official was a dark and strong middle-aged man, who seemed to be smiling, and asked Fan Hongdao: "You are Jinling Fan Hongdao?"
Fan Hongdao's thoughts changed sharply, these people had definitely never seen each other, and they might not be able to determine their identities. So he flatly denied it: "You have recognized the wrong person!"
The black strong man shouted: "Don't deny it! Yang said honestly, you are sure that it is Fan Hongdao!"
What is it? It turned out that Yang Laoshi leaked his identity? These words exploded in Fan Hongdao's brain like a thunderbolt, he just thought of several possibilities for identity leakage, but he never expected that it was Yang Laoshi who betrayed him!
Why did Yang Laoshi betray himself? Fan Hongdao asked angrily, "What about Yang Laoshi?"
The black strong man laughed a few times, "It's already gone, he said that he exchanged you for his eldest young master, let's think about it, it's still quite cost-effective." The county lord has been missing you for a long time, and we have found you, and we will definitely be able to make the county lord happy. ”
