Chapter 50: Fifty
Chen Run was naturally very stunned, and couldn't help but look at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao bowed his head and said: "Xiaorun, if you haven't written a refuge document for this cloth village, then it is also a change of owner." He was reluctant to say Ruxi's name in front of Hu Erniang, so his words were deliberately very vague, but his eyes and attitude obviously showed his support for Ruxi.
Chen Run's hesitation was only a few breaths, so he nodded, turned to Hu Erniang and said, "Shopkeeper, thank you for taking care of me before." Find another apprentice. ”
If Chen Hao and Xia Yue were not present, the voiceover in Hu Erniang's heart at the moment could probably be written as a book of 36 styles of scolding streets in the Gyeonggi area of the Dasheng Dynasty. However, Chen Hao and Xia Yue had no Wen and only Wu Di beside them, and Hu Erniang could only snort without smiling: "Well, okay, congratulations." ”
The main quest of [Recruiting Chen Run] was easily completed in this way, and Ru Ji was also very happy in her heart. However, when it comes to surprises, it is naturally not as good as picking.
Coming out of Jixiangbuzhuang, Ru Xi also glanced at Chen Run's hand. Although there seems to be a bruise on the back of his left hand, there is no metal trauma from the hairpin. It seems that his fate is really about to turn on a new trajectory.
"Cai Wan, you go and rub some medicinal wine for Brother Run, and discuss the clerical matter by the way. Although it is not considered to sell oneself, there must be a document for employment. Ru Ji took a high-sounding excuse and gave Cai Wan a look.
Chen Run was even more shy when he heard this: "Girl, I don't matter, where do I dare to work to pick girls." ”
Ru Xi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have it or not, it's still me, the future owner, who has the final say." Since you are going to work for me in the future, you will naturally have to take care of your body. Don't talk back to me, let Cai Wan give you some medicine, and then write the paperwork. Can you write? ”
When Chen Run heard this, he turned his mind to the paperwork: "I don't know much, I have learned some from Aunt Su San before." If you don't ask the girl to write it, I'll draw it. The girl's great grace to save her today, I must always remember it in my heart. ”
Ru Ji smiled: "Yes, anyway, Cai Wan will discuss with you." Your family is around here, isn't it? Is there any pen and ink? Is there any wound medicine? Anyway, you go and cook it. ”
Cai Wan's heart finally settled down at this time, she has experienced so much, and she can be regarded as an old man, and she is slightly blessed when she hears the words: "Girl, I know." The master and servant looked at each other and understood each other, and Cai Wan and Chen Run went in the other direction of Baifu Lane.
Ru Xi gave Cai Yun the opportunity to be alone with Chen Run, and she took Xia Yue to stand at the intersection of Baifu Lane and Yongan Street, but fell into a relative embarrassment with Chen Hao.
Perhaps because neither side has any excuse not to part ways, but neither of them moves their steps first, this relative atmosphere is even more subtle.
Xia Yue, as one of the most well-trained maids in Huan Ningbo's Mansion, was also very professional at the moment with her eyebrows lowered, standing back, and consciously not making lighting equipment around Chen Hao and Ruxi.
"Chen Zhutou, is there anything else?" Ru Ji made a preemptive move, although she did not walk away, she must throw the reason for this stalemate to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao looked at Ruxi twice, and then felt that his heart was beating a little nervous again, and he took a few breaths before he spoke seriously: "Miss Meng reminded me a while ago that the wicked people who colluded with gambling houses to cheat and put usury money have been found in the west and south of the city recently, thank you." ”
mentioned the case, Ru Ji couldn't help pouting: "I found out the person who released the money, but he is just a subordinate who bears the crime, what is the use of not getting the first evil." ”
When Chen Hao mentioned this, he originally had a small part of his mind that he had nothing to say, but seeing that Ru Ji seemed to be very disappointed, Chen Hao immediately realized: "Speaking of this, the case about the shopkeeper of Sui is actually not completely broken now. ”
"Really?" Ruji's eyes lit up, "How is it now?" Didn't Shi Zhonglang put it back that day? Did Second Brother Xiao really intercede? ”
Chen Hao's expression was a little complicated: "When you talk about this matter in detail, there are still some twists and turns. If the girl still has to wait for the maid, do you want to go to the tea pavilion next to you and sit down? ”
Ru Ji looked over, saw a pavilion more than a dozen steps away, someone set up a stall to sell some simple tea fruits, the style and pattern is quite similar to the snack stalls in modern society. Although there are fewer female customers who sit down to eat tea, it is not entirely absent. In particular, there are three or four stout and lush locust trees next to the pavilion, which makes the tea pavilion look a little quiet.
Ru Ji calculated the time, but still felt that she had to wait for the harvest, so she went to the tea pavilion with Chen Hao to talk. At this moment, it is about two o'clock, there are not too many pedestrians and tea customers, and the tea pavilion is very clean.
The two sat down, and Chen Hao gave Ru Xi a rough explanation of the causes and consequences of the case of the shopkeeper of Sui. The previous situation is similar to what Ru Ji knew before, but the day seems to be earlier. Because Chen Run was injured in Sui's shopkeeper's shop, Chen Hao decided to go to Sui's shopkeeper shop in person to pretend to be an apprentice, only saying that Chen Run's distant cousin was going to be an apprentice, and even the Sui shopkeeper himself hid it. After waiting for about two or three days, I also heard a lot of rumors about Sui Niangzi.
On the day of General Shi Ben's promotion banquet, Shi Zhonglang's servant Li Ya took people and went to Sui's shopkeeper to stir up trouble. As for the reason why the matter is so big, it is that among the people led by Li Ya, there are two people who have changed their faces and have habitual criminals who have old cases. The actions of the two on the surface were nothing more than the reckless fists and kicks of ordinary street fights, but secretly they were yin. When Chen Hao found out, he immediately took action to stop it, and he didn't want to fight between the two of them, and they started to kill each other, and they used a heavy hand to open and close, and the shopkeeper of Sui was killed on the spot. At that time, there were not many people in ambush in Jingzhao Yamen, and there was an old catcher who had accumulated years of experience, although his kung fu was ordinary, his eyesight was good, and he recognized the two habitual criminals on the spot. was already an outlaw, but when he saw that a new life had been added, a more fierce fight immediately began. When the support of the Jingzhao Yamen arrived, another elderly passerby was accidentally injured and died.
Later, as everyone saw at the Shi family's banquet at that time, one habitual offender was caught by Chen Hao himself, and the other fled with Li Ya into General Shi's mansion. As for Yan Xiao personally taking Shi Renlang to Jingzhao Yamen later, he was actually interrogated very severely, but he had the face of General Shi Ben and was not executed.
When it comes to being a traitor, Shi Zhonglang may also have some talent. Under Jing Zhaoyin's fierce interrogation, although he sweated a lot, he bit him to death because he was a subordinate, and he didn't know that he was negligent. Li Ya may have had a tacit understanding a long time ago, only saying that everything is his responsibility, and he will not change his words when he is punished. Jing Zhaoyin is capable and selfless, and he doesn't believe in Shi Zhonglang and Li Ya's confessions, which is why he has been delayed in the yamen for so long.
But in the end, as Ru Ji had expected, such verbal abetment of the crime is really difficult to prove. If Li Ya didn't change his words, even if everyone knew that it was at the instigation of Shi Zhonglang, there would be no evidence in the court, and he would have to be released in the end. But Li Ya did not retract his confession, so he sentenced the prisoner to be beheaded according to the law, and the two habitual offenders were sentenced to be executed, and it was also considered a slight compensation for the two innocent deaths in the matter of the Sui shopkeeper.
Ru Ji nodded when she heard this, although this incident failed to make Shi Zhonglang pay the price he deserved, it was also good to behead a Li Ya first. It's just that the shopkeeper of Sui is still dead in the end, and even folded into one more passerby, Ru Ji, as the source of the huge butterfly effect that caused many changes, still has an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
Chen Hao didn't necessarily have an easy place to go, after several days of planning and ambushing, he and his colleagues were injured, and the shopkeeper and passers-by of Sui who wanted to protect were killed on the spot. For a true righteous catcher, the frustration must be even stronger.
After this matter was said, the relative atmosphere between the two was even more heavy and silent. Almost at the same time, he looked at the entrance of Baifu Lane, but he didn't see Cai Wan and Chen Run coming out, so he glanced at Chen Hao and lowered his head again.
The moment Chen Hao and Ru Xi looked at each other, they felt itchy in their hearts and no longer calm, and immediately coughed lightly, and changed the topic very naturally: "That, Liu Chengyin offended you today, I'm sorry." ”
Ru Ji frowned, what is this called? Could it be that the two of you are one?
Squinted at Chen Hao: "Why do you have to apologize for her?" The two of you have nothing to do with me. Miss Liu didn't do anything to me either. Are you still afraid that I will make my sister angry? ”
Chen Hao was speechless for a while, and suddenly found that his eloquence was actually not very good. Obviously didn't mean that, but when Ruji's series of words came back, he didn't know how to explain it.
And Ru Ji seemed to have an unhappy look, but there was also a different kind of charm, which was the other side of her smart and lively, which made him look a little fascinated.
Ru Xi saw that Chen Hao was looking at herself intently, and soon felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and her half-disgusted expression was a little unbearable, she lowered her eyes, and her voice softened unconsciously: "You are talking." ”
"I," Chen Hao felt his tongue dry for a while, "I'm just afraid that you will be angry." It doesn't matter to others or other things, it's good if you don't get angry. ”
Ru Xi heard that Chen Hao's eloquence ability was almost zero at this time, and when he narrated the case, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then what if I'm already angry?" ”
Chen Hao looked at her lotus petal little face and smiled with joy again, as if the sky was full of sweet flowers, and he felt that his heart was intoxicated, and he didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, a vulgar sentence with some drunkenness suddenly slipped not far away: "...... Isn't it just that pretty widow with the surname Su! ”
