Chapter 61 Chivalry and Righteousness
Dinner is solved in a small noodle restaurant with a small face in the county, because the noon is too good, so when ordering in the evening, Cai Wei deliberately ordered very light, as long as four bowls of pearl soup, four light side dishes, although vegetarian, but the taste is very refreshing, and those greasy meat at noon have their own merits. ,
However, this is only Cai Wei's personal opinion.
Halfway through eating, she saw Brother Parrot's tangled and painful bird face, struggling to swallow the light pearl soup in front of her, as if she was swallowing medicine.
"Why doesn't it taste good?"
Cai Wei put down her chopsticks, glanced at Brother Parrot, and then at the old turtle and Long Eyebrow.
The old turtle is fine, it still eats as usual; Changmei looked generous and righteous, as if it was not eating food at all, but a deadly poison that pierced the intestines
"When
The soup spoon was put down, and when Brother Parrot saw Cai Wei asking, he simply stopped hiding his dislike for vegetarian food. "Master, people want to eat meat"
Cai Wei rubbed her eyebrows, and suddenly made a move, pinched its round body, and squeezed it twice, causing the parrot to quack and protest strongly. "Master, don't pinch me, you don't give people meat to eat, and you still bully others."
Cai Wei sighed: "It's not that I don't give you meat, look at you, what are you fat like now, and then eat meat for a meal, you will soon become a meat ball, how will you fly in the future"
The parrot doesn't care about his figure, and he doesn't care if he can fly in the future, he only knows that if he can't eat it, he will not be happy, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat"
It rolled on the table and cried.
Cai Wei was so troubled by its noise that she had to compromise, "Don't make a fuss, I'll finish eating later, and I'll buy some snacks for you outside, but no one is allowed to eat meat, especially at night."
Seeing that Cai Wei gave way, Brother Parrot saw that he was good at it, and stood up from the table with a flattering smile: "Master, you are so good"
Cai Wei glanced at it, silently finished eating the pearl soup in her bowl, took a few mythical beasts back into the space, counted the food money, and left the noodle restaurant.
At this time, it was already dark outside, and Cai Wei wandered around the street, looking around, planning to find a dim sum shop and buy some delicious snacks for Brother Parrot
was looking for it, and suddenly saw a little girl in tattered clothes on the side of the road, looking at her timidly with a pair of big black eyes.
The girl's age, her big eyes were dark and bright, and when she saw Cai Wei's gaze on her, she shrank and lowered her head timidly like a frightened rabbit. "Zhaodi"
As soon as Cai Wei saw this girl's little face, she immediately screamed in surprise, the girl in front of her was the youngest daughter of the woman surnamed Yin who she saved in Yushu County last time, and Gao Sanchun's little sister Zhaodi, it's just that they shouldn't have gone to the capital at this time and joined their uncle who is a chef, why are they still stranded here
Also, Zhao Di's dress, why is she so downcast
When Zhao Di heard Cai Wei's voice, she raised her little face sharply and said in surprise: "Sister benefactor, it's really you, I thought I was wrong."
Cai Wei looked around, and saw that there was no adult following Zhao Di's side, so she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Zhao Di, why are you here alone, your mother and your sister, how can they rest assured that you came out alone so late?"
Hearing Cai Wei mention her mother and sister, Zhao Di's eyes suddenly turned red, she pursed her mouth, sobbed and cried, crying while telling Cai Wei about what happened to her family in the past few months.
It turned out that not long after Cai Wei left, Gao Sanchun was arrested by her cheap father Gao Jia, and on the night of her return, she was married to Li Zhixian's son Li Jingui as a concubine.
Yin couldn't stand this blow, and fell ill all of a sudden, she couldn't afford to be sick, she couldn't do anything, and she had to take medicine every day, and the silver flowers were like flowing water, and the ten taels of silver that Cai Wei had left for them before had been spent for a few months.
Now, the family has interrupted the cooking, and the mother has also cut off the medicine, Zhao Di is helpless, so she has to carry her mother Yin and secretly find Gao Jia to beg, Gao Jia is ruthless, and she doesn't pay attention to the daughter of her ex-wife, and the new lady Bai, seeing that Zhao Di dared to come to the door to ask for money, immediately rolled up her sleeves, took out the posture of being the housewife, and slapped Zhao Di out.
Zhao Di didn't get the money, she was beaten again, and she didn't dare to go home, for fear that her mother would be sad to see the palm prints on her face, so she kept wandering outside, wanting to wait until it was dark before going home
Looking at the little girl's pitiful little face, Cai Wei felt a burst of sadness, she bent down, touched the top of Zhao Di's head, and said with a smile: "Take my sister to your house to see if it's okay" "Hmm"
Zhao Di nodded and walked in front obediently.
When passing by a dim sum shop, Cai Wei stopped and bought a few catties of pastries, including fluffy osmanthus cakes, colorful preserved fruits, fried winter melon seeds, and winter melon strips with frosting
After buying, he walked into a narrow alley with Zhao Di with his things, walked to a small courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, pushed open the door, and invited Cai Wei in.
This small courtyard is divided into two entrances, and the main house in the backyard is lived by the landlord; The first three rooms are separated by a narrow corridor, and the two large rooms on the east side are rented by a couple who sell cooked food for a monthly rent of 500 yuan; A small room in the west was rented to Yin and Zhaodi's mother and daughter, and the monthly rent was 150 Wen "Mother, have you slept down, I'm back"
Zhao Di pushed open the door of the west room, beckoned Cai Wei to walk in, and screamed softly.
The room was black and hollow, with a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and there was no light.
In the dark, a dull coughing sound came, "Zhao Di'er, where did you go, you girl, I haven't seen a shadow all day, do you know that my mother is worried" "Mother, aren't people coming back." “
As she spoke, Zhao Di took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, took out a candlestick covered with thick wax oil from the cabinet on the kang, and lit a short candle on it. "Look, who's coming"
The dim candlelight illuminated the small room, and the Yin family, whose face was withered, leaned on the kang weakly, and when he saw Cai Wei, he was immediately shocked. "Miss Caiwei, is it you, is it really you?"
Cai Wei smiled and said: "Aunt Yin, it's been a long time, you don't look very good"
When Yin Shi saw Cai Wei, he was excited and cried: "Hey, you have seen it, the home is no longer like a home, my Sanchun was also robbed, originally our mother planned to wait for me to recover from my injuries before going to the capital, and then go to find you, but hey"
Yin let out a long sigh, and the tears fell even more fiercely
Cai Wei sat on the edge of the kang, put the dim sum she bought on the kang table, took out a letter, and untied it. "I've heard about Sanchun, auntie, don't be uncomfortable, I haven't eaten dinner yet, let's eat a piece of dim sum to make up for it first"
Yin took the soft osmanthus cake and couldn't help but look at Zhao Di, who saw that her mother was looking over, hurriedly picked up the rusty kettle, turned her back to her, and went to the stove temporarily set up in the middle of the ground to boil water. "Zhao Di, you can eat too, your sister Caiwei bought a lot"
Yin beckoned and called Zhao Di, the two of them hadn't eaten for two days, they were dizzy with hunger, seeing this fragrant and fluffy snack, her first thought was that her daughter finally didn't have to be hungry anymore "Mother, I'm not hungry, you eat first"
Zhao Di hung her head to boil water, and she didn't dare to turn around at all, lest her mother see the slap marks on her little face and feel uncomfortable.
Cai Wei understood her thoughts, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the kang table, got up and went down to the ground, and stuffed it into Zhao Di's hand: "Let's eat while boiling water, it's okay."
Zhao Di picked up the soft snack and glanced at Cai Wei gratefully, a pair of big dark eyes were wet: "Thank you, sister"
Yin saw that his daughter had to eat, so he was relieved to eat, although he hadn't eaten for two days, he was sick, and even if he hadn't eaten for two days, he couldn't eat much.
Cai Wei sat quietly on the edge of the kang, and when she finished eating, she slowly spoke, saying, "Aunt Yin, what are your plans for the future?"
When Yin Shi heard this, his eyes turned red, but his face was more resolute: "When my body is better, I will go to Bianzhou Mansion to complain, even if it is to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, I will save my daughter from the fire kang"
Her face was yellow, thin and small, and she looked shriveled and pitiful, but on such a face, she showed an indomitable and persevering momentum, which made her weak and rickety body taller, which made Cai Wei's heart feel a strong shock "Auntie, I'll help you" She said softly
Unexpectedly, the Yin family refused: "Miss Caiwei, our mother and daughter understand your kindness, but this time is different from the last time, this time we are going to provoke the government, so we don't involve you, you still don't want to go to this troubled water with us" "That is the case, I won't participate, and my aunt should be more careful." “
Cai Wei said, took out about four or five taels of broken silver from her purse, and took out a whole ingot of ten taels of silver, and put it on the kang table in front of Yin.
Yin hurriedly excused himself: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I hurt the girl last time, and our mother and daughter haven't had time to repay the girl's kindness, how can we ask for the girl's silver."
Cai Wei smiled: "Auntie just take it, now the family is out of medicine and cooking, if something really happens, who can Sister Sanchun expect to save it?"
These words really touched Yin's heart, she stopped shirking, accepted Cai Wei's gift with red eyes, and only said: "Miss Cai Wei, thank you for your kindness, I have the right to accept this silver, if you have anything to do with our mother's place in the future, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, our mother's brows will not wrinkle."
This sentence came from Yin's heart, Cai Wei could feel it, but she didn't need their mother to go to the sea of fire for her, if she came to the capital in the future, it would be enough for them to help her in her business.
Of course, when Cai Wei rescued them, she didn't have this intention of using them, she just looked at them pitifully, and she couldn't get used to the high-ranking concubine killing his wife, and beating the original partner on the street
The short candle that Zhao Di found quickly burned out, and while there was still the last glimmer of light, Cai Wei said goodbye.
As soon as I went out, I received the sound of the white-haired tiger's thoughts. "Master, can we go" "Don't worry, let's go first, it's not too late for us to go"
Cai Wei replied while relying on her memory and walked towards Gao Ji Restaurant.
At this time, Gao Ji Restaurant had not yet closed, Cai Wei stood on the street, through the open door, glanced coldly at Gao Jia sitting behind the counter, sneered, and turned to walk towards his back house.
The layout of Gaoji Restaurant is the same as that of Bafu Restaurant in Qingyun Town, which is a three-entry house, one of the frontage of the street is a shop, and the two of the backyard are a residence.
Cai Wei came to the backyard, jumped slightly, climbed in from the courtyard wall, and saw that the second room was black and hollow, and there was no light, thinking that the guys in the restaurant lived, because the restaurant was not closed, so there was no one now.
The house in the backyard was lit up, and there were faint sounds of children crying and women scolding inside. "Slut, slut, you boiled the water so hot, do you want to burn the old lady to death?"
A crisp slap sound, accompanied by a scream, spread from inside the room to the outside.
Cai Wei frowned, walked to the window, and gently made a small hole in the window paper with her fingers, and looked inside along the hole.
In the room, a young woman dressed in red and barefoot was violently beating and scolding a maid holding a child, and at her feet was a kicked over wooden basin and spilled footwater.
The woman had fox eyes and a water snake waist, one hand on her waist, and the other hand twisted the maid's ears fiercely, so painful that the maid cried and begged for mercy. "Madame's life, the slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and maid will go and boil water for Madame again."
Bai Shiyi twisted the maid's ears, spitted fiercely at her face, and scolded: "Dead little slut, I don't know how careful you are, don't you deliberately fix me and avenge your original master, I bah, I don't weigh how many catties and taels you have, and I dare to be a demon on the head of the old lady." “
One line scolded, the other hand waved, and slapped the maid's cheek, so that the maid's cheek instantly swollen like a steamed bun, and her eyes couldn't be opened.
Cai Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled out a hairpin from her head and threw it out with a whoosh.
Bai Shi was slapping hard, and a plain silver hairpin broke through the window, and with a pop, it was nailed to her wrist and pierced her snow-white wrist
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then screamed like a pig. "Ahh
She had only time to utter a very short cry when she was knocked unconscious by a stone that flew in from the window.
The maid who was holding the child and being beaten into a pig's head was also frightened, but she didn't dare to scream, she held the child in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, her legs kept trembling, and she could barely stand.
Cai Wei broke into the door, did not embarrass the maid, only walked up to Bai's side, squatted down, stretched out her hand, and pulled out the hairpin on her wrist.
A sudden sharp pain made the unconscious Bai Shi wake up suddenly, when she saw the woman in front of her with cold eyebrows and eyes, and then looked at the blood spurting out of her wrist, she opened her mouth again, and just thought "Ah"
The throat was held against the sharp plain silver hairpin, "If Madame dares to shout, this hairpin will pierce your throat, like it has just pierced your wrist" Cai Wei sneered, her voice was cold. "Ah" was swallowed back into his stomach, and Bai shivered. "Woman, woman, heroine spare your life, what do you want, just say, the little woman must, try her best to meet the needs of the heroine, request" "Hehe, it's really acquaintance"
Cai Wei put away the hairpin, grabbed her bun, and whispered: "In this case, you're welcome, please Madame move out all the soft things in the house, if you dare to hide a little bit, or play any tricks, I promise, Madame will regret it for the rest of her life."
Her voice was eerie, and she laughed incomprehensibly, "Remember" "Yes yes, the slave family lives"
Bai Shi was shocked by Cai Wei, she nodded her head violently like a chicken pecking rice, stood up tremblingly, walked to the couch step by step, took out a pillow-sized vermilion carved lacquered wooden box from under the couch, and put it in front of Cai Wei in fear. Open
Cai Wei said coldly, the voice did not have a trace of warmth, but it carried irresistible cruelty.
Bai pursed his lips, endured the sharp pain on his wrist and the fear in his heart, and opened the box tremblingly.
In the vermilion carved lacquer box, there are a few neatly folded silver tickets and a few large ingots of silver, as well as some scattered silver taels, which add up to about 1,000 taels.
Cai Wei unceremoniously carried the silver tickets into her arms, and the silver was also wrapped in a cloth and tied to her body, Bai's heart was so distressed that her liver trembled, but because she was afraid of her, she had to grit her teeth and endure it. "And what else?"
Cai Wei's big eyes swept around the room, although the Bai family handed over a lot of silver, she didn't believe that the Bai family would move all the belongings out, so after collecting the silver tickets, she began to ask others.
Thinking that compared to when she first encountered the hijacking, Bai Shi was much calmer now, she saw that the robber was just a woman, and she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and gradually became less afraid, she raised her eyes, secretly glanced at the maid, and she took Cai Wei slowly, and walked outside.
Of course, the maid understood the master's thoughts, and after Bai Shi left the main house with Cai Wei, she quietly opened the window, jumped out of the window, and went straight to the front yard
Cai Wei saw it in her eyes, but she only acted like she didn't see it, and still forced the Bai family to come to the outside world.
The outer room is connected to the inner bedroom, except for a large painted screen with a hundred birds reporting spring, and the room houses Bai's wardrobe and dresser.
Ignoring her closet, Cai Wei walked straight to her dresser.
Open the drawer of the dresser, there are more than a dozen pieces of gold and silver jewelry inside, although it is not very valuable, but in total, it can also be worth hundreds of taels, in addition, there are some small objects such as velvet flowers and tassels.
Seeing this, Cai Wei untied the burden of silver behind her and put the jewelry into it one by one.
Seeing Cai Wei patronizing her head and pretending to be jewelry, Bai felt that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he took the opportunity to grab a small bronze mirror on the dresser and smashed it at Cai Wei's head
The moment the bronze mirror fell, the corners of Cai Wei's mouth suddenly drew an arc, she raised her hand violently, accurately clamped the wrist that was about to be smashed down, and sneered: "It seems that Madame forgot what I just reminded you, what a pity."
Bai Shi was clamped by her arm, no matter how she shook it, the girl in front of her was still like a child, but her strength was amazing, she struggled hard, but she didn't break free even a penny.
Bai was a little scared, but when she thought that her man would be able to come back soon, she became bold again, she shook her arms and threatened: "My girl has already gone to the front yard to report the news, you'd better get acquainted and let me go, otherwise when my father-in-law comes back, he will definitely beat you half to death, and then strip you naked and send it to the government, so that you can't survive and die, you can't suffer" "Heh" Cai Wei smiled, "Does your man have the ability to let me survive and die, but I know, I have the means to make you unable to survive and die.
After speaking, with a twist of his wrist, the plain silver hairpin in his hand suddenly slashed towards Bai's face.
Bai Shi hurriedly dodged, but in terms of speed, how could she compare to Cai Wei, only in an instant, the smooth and delicate cheek, there was a deep and long wound, the wound was more than a finger long, running through the entire right cheek, deep to the bone, making Bai collapse instantly.
"Ahh
She screamed, screaming hysterically, piercing the silence of the night, and when she finished, her eyes rolled and she fell to the ground with a thump, fainting.
Cai Wei walked up to her and threw the plain silver hairpin on the ground, whether she could hear it or not, she still said in a cold voice: "In order to get to the top of your own position, you don't hesitate to step on other people's blood to advance, and take away what others should be, and you don't even let go of other people's daughters, you are a femme fatale-hearted woman, you are not worthy of living in the world, today, I will read that your child is still young, and your young son is innocent, let you have a way to live, if he is heard by me again that you are evil, I will take your life, let you expose your corpse to the wilderness, and never be able to live forever." ”
After speaking, he put all the weak softness into the space, walked out quickly, and when he reached the door, he heard a rush of footsteps running towards him.
Cai Wei snorted and swooped into the space, waiting for Gao Jia to run into the house with the guys in the restaurant, she calmly came out of the space and ran lightly to the restaurant in the front yard.
Gao Ji Restaurant has closed, the inside is black and empty, Cai Wei sent a parrot to explore the circle, and after finding that there was no one inside, a fire burned down this large-scale restaurant
The best way to deal with a villain like Gao Jia, who spoils his concubine and kills his wife and forgets his roots, is not to kill him, but to make him a poor bastard, to make the woman in his heart an ugly monster, and to lose the one he cares about the most is more painful for him than to kill him.
Leaving Gao Ji Restaurant, it was already dark, she sent Brother Parrot to Li Zhixian's mansion to find Gao Sanchun's location, and she walked on the empty bluestone road in a leisurely manner.
Li Zhixian is an undoubted corrupt official, and tonight she will show her skills and pull out all the people's fat and ointment he has scavenged for many years, and use it on the front-line soldiers in the future
When she arrived at the Li Mansion, she quietly flipped in, and according to Brother Parrot's instructions, she cleverly avoided the night patrol and found the place where Sanchun was.
Sanchun now lives on the floor of Li Jingui's bedroom, sleeping on the floor, although he is his nominal concubine, but he has been doing the work of a maid.
That Li Jingui has been scratched by Brother Parrot last time, it has been a few months, but the wound has not healed, the bone-exposed, bloody wound, the pain of touching the heart, every day he cries and calls his mother, almost wants to think, it really hurts, beating and scolding the people around him to vent, Sanchun since marrying him, although his body has not been ruined by him, but he is beaten every day, and there is no good place on his body
With the faint moonlight, Cai Wei took out her treasure knife, opened the deadbolt, and quietly touched it.
On the ground outside, Miharu lay a thin mattress, curled up there and fell asleep, tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
Cai Wei sprinkled a handful, put Sanchun into the space, and went to the inner room, and also fascinated Li Jingui, and he lit a candle, and the big thorn began to loot in the house.
Li Jingui is Li Zhixian's son-in-law, and he is deeply favored by Li Zhixian, so everything he uses is fine, Cai Wei shouted in the house without listening: "Receive, receive, receive"
As a result, the exquisite furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings have entered the space of Cai Wei.
After collecting this room, Cai Wei was obviously unsatisfied, and she sent Brother Parrot to find the treasure of Li Zhixian.
Through his memories, he found Mrs. Li's yard.
For the maid who was on duty at night, Cai Wei was familiar with the road early, and she didn't even need to do it, and Changmei helped her solve it with her agility, making her feel like no one in Mrs. Li's courtyard.
There are many more good things in Mrs. Li's house than in Li Jingui's house, not to mention anything else, only those various colors of jewelry and silk satin are enough to dazzle and dizzy
After collecting Mrs. Li's house, Cai Wei went from yard to yard to search, except for the next person's room, she didn't leave any of the other masters' rooms.
It's just that in the house where she received a concubine from Li Zhixian, Cai Wei was embarrassed.
Lord Zhixian is staying in the concubine's house tonight, this concubine is probably to cage the husband, and he shamelessly serves him with a young girl, and the three of them are busy in bed, and they are happy to do that. Don't look at Li Zhixian's age, but at this time, he is like a tiger in the mountains, busy with the concubine for a while, and busy with the girl's body for a while, tired He was panting heavily, but he was very busy
Cai Wei twitched the corners of her mouth, seeing that the two of them couldn't finish their work for a while, she didn't have time to wait, and she didn't want to look at this lively Spring Palace anymore, so she quietly walked out and searched elsewhere.
At this time, Brother Parrot had already found the location of the Li family's vault, in the basement of Li Zhixian's study.
Cai Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Brother Parrot's guidance and quickly came to Li Zhixian's study.
Li Zhixian's study is decorated with a very simple score, without too many luxurious objects, only the dense books on the shelves and the calligraphy and paintings pasted on the wall, and against the position of the wall, a half-old Bogu shelf is placed, on which a few elegant antique vases are placed.
Cai Wei found the twig-and-lotus pattern moon bottle that Brother Parrot said, turned it slightly, and saw the middle of the ground in the study, and suddenly it rumbled down, and after a while, a big black hole was revealed.
Cai Wei took the candle and looked down, and found a staircase at the entrance of the cave, and she followed the staircase to a spacious basement.
The basement was eerie, unadorned, with dozens of large chests on the wall, all with large copper locks on them.
These copper locks were not difficult for Cai Wei, she took out the treasure knife, casually broke a lock, and opened the box with her hand, and in an instant, a box of yellow and clear gold stabbed her eyes
Oops I'll go
Cai Wei's face smiled like a flower, and opened a box again, oh, it was full of jade and jade, there were exquisite mutton fat white jade carvings, as well as transparent and emerald jade bracelets, hairpins, etc., all of which were packed in brocade boxes one by one, and each thing was expensive
There are also Bogu shelves in the basement, and the things on that shelf are much better than those placed outside the study, most of them are precious and rare antique porcelain, huge coral, and a small number of ornaments carved from ivory, rhino horn and other objects.
"Hehe, sure enough, it's three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver"
Cai Wei smiled so much that she couldn't open her eyes, and shouted affectionately at the treasures: "Collect and collect"
Li Zhixian is really an out-and-out corrupt official, the property in the treasury is far above 100,000 taels, if he changes those antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., he is afraid that 200,000 taels of family is more than enough, these are all obtained by him from looting the people's fat and people's ointment, so Cai Wei really feels that he is right to rob this time, robbed this corrupt official, and it is much more convenient for him to do business or help someone fight the world in the future
It's late tonight, and I'm going to try to settle Miharu's mother and daughter tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today.
Since I can't go, there is a lot of time, Caiwei searched one yard after another, and at the third watch, the courtyard of Manfu was collected.
Of course, except for the courtyard of the concubine who stayed in Li Zhixian County.
Cai Wei was unwilling to let go of this wealth, and finally walked into the courtyard, and as she expected, the people in the house were already asleep.
Cai Wei quietly walked into the house, took a look around the house by the moonlight, put away a few things that were quite pleasing to the eye, and when she left, she saw Li Zhifu on the couch half-naked like a fat pig-like body, hugging left and right, and still looking dissatisfied in her sleep, Cai Wei was cold.
A large handful of fun-boosting powder was sprinkled on the bodies of the three of them, Cai Wei covered her mouth and snickered, and left satisfied. ~ Search the basket color, you can read the full text of the following chapters
