Chapter 32 The geese pluck their feathers

Li Zhutou sighed and said: "The people of the entire Wuzhou City know it, but now there is no one in the Li Mansion who can stand up and be in charge, Li Gang is connected with several people on the rivers and lakes, who dares to provoke, so they have to watch the Li Mansion fall into the hands of their brothers and sisters." ”

Lao Chen sneered: "Lao Li, aren't you also surnamed Li?" Can't you stand up and preside over justice for the Li family? ”

Li Zhutou smiled: "Lao Chen, what you said is really funny, you don't know, I don't know how many people surnamed Li are in this Wuzhou City, the problem is that we are reckless surnamed Li, and we don't know the Li Mansion, I am not afraid of being embarrassed in front of your brother, I am a little head catcher, and I can't afford to provoke their second aunt's rogue brother." ”

Lao Chen snorted coldly: "I know, the master doesn't know how much silver he has received from the Li family brothers and sisters...... They just want to force the third aunt to leave on her own initiative, and now you think the same way? ”

Lao Li sighed again: "Otherwise, how dare I alarm you?" ”

Lao Chen stared at Li Zhutou: "The master called you here, right?" ”

A trace of melancholy flashed in Lao Li's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "No, Lao Chen, how can the master know what relationship you have with the people around the third aunt?" I was sick and rushed to the doctor, and I was trained by my grandfather every day, and my days are indescribable! ”

Lao Chen snorted: "I don't blame you, look at your weak heart, even if the master calls it, there is nothing, Wuzhou City is so big, Chen Gang is my brother, who doesn't know?" Since you've found me, I'm going to call him to ask, but my brother is also a follower of the third aunt's side, so I can't get any package tickets if you can get your wish. ”

Li Zhutou was a little embarrassed: "Lao Chen, look at what you said, our brother has been for so many years, and you also know that the third aunt is too inseparable from leaving, in fact, she doesn't do anything about her brother in the end, hey, please take care of me a lot, I can't help myself!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly poured wine into the wine cup of Chen Zhutou.

Chen Zhutou smiled inexplicably, nodded and fell silent.

Li Zhutou didn't dare to say anything more, and both of them began to drink intently.

After a while, Chen Zhutou suddenly said: "Lao Li, I didn't want to say it, but I want to give you a few words, you have been in Wuzhou City for a few years, and you only know that Li Xuewei has a rampant and domineering rogue brother to support you, do you know what the third aunt is?" ”

Li Zhutou, who was drinking silently, was a little stunned: "Come? ”

He quickly shook his head: "I've never heard of it, but ...... According to the news spread by the Li family brothers and sisters, it seems that the third aunt is too bad with the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Pavilion, but if she catches the traitor and takes the double, she has to listen to this matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and after all, it is not any ironclad evidence of death. ”

Chen Zhutou opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he saw that the helper Zhang Hu personally held a plate of pure crystal elbows, carried a small wine urn with a good daughter's red wine, walked over with a smile on his face, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Ho, two officials, you two haven't seen each other for a few days, Master Chen, are your arms so neat? Master Li, you have been the busiest in this Wuzhou City recently, and when the little one saw the two of you coming, he specially instructed the cook to hurry up and make this crystal elbow, which is considered a small filial piety to the two masters. ”

Chen Zhutou, who had been sullen, heard a string of treasure-like sycophants in Zhang Huzi's mouth, and finally smiled: "You have it, Zhang Huzi, you goose plucking guy, we can't afford your filial piety, quickly take away such a good thing as you, I have been very poor recently, and I can't afford to pay your master and servant." ”

Li Zhutou also smiled: "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhang Huzi, I see that you are getting more and more free now, how can you be like us people, busy but busy, all day long is blind busy, or you are free and happy." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head, looking envious.

Zhang Huzi had already put the crystal elbow on the wine table of the two, and said busily: "Don't don't, Master Chen, you just spare the small one, a few small things?" You said this not only slapped the small face but also slapped the small owner's face, fortunately the owner is not there, if the owner hears it, he doesn't dare to say anything to you, and he has to slap the small two mouths behind his back...... Even if you're poor, you're not going to take that idea into account. ”

Lao Chen smiled: "Look at you, your boss is willing to slap you in the mouth?" Just don't treat you as his own son, his unsuccessful son is really not as good as your little thumb, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling only knows how to make a lot of silver, and you really don't get less money for him all year round. ”

Lao Chen's half-damaged and half-boasting words made Zhang Hu a little hypocritical, and he casually dragged a pier and sat down at the two head-catching tables uninvited, shook his head and said: "Cannibalism is just loyal to personnel, Gongzi just has the good life of Gongzi, we are slaves, we can only do a good job of slaves, the two officials are not all the same, after eating the official's family, I have to work hard every day, and I haven't seen your second elder for half a year." ”

As he spoke, he had already opened his hand and had not put down his daughter's red wine urn, and suddenly a tempting aroma of wine came to his nose, and he couldn't help but smile with his eyebrows and eyes on the two catchers.

Lao Li chirped: "It's really embarrassing to say that he is fat and he gasps, but a good slave like you doesn't go to the official mansion on an errand is a big loss for the official family...... You haven't seen us for half a year, haven't you seen us slipping around the road? Tut-tut, this wine tastes really mellow, Zhang Huzi, do you really want to be filial? Or did you put some kind of drug on me and Lao Chen in this wine? ”

Zhang Huzi smiled hehehe: "Where is it?" The conscience of heaven and earth, it's too late for the little one to catch up, Li Ye is sharp, don't you say, if I take things for nothing and honor the two masters, wouldn't I be sorry for my reputation for plucking the feathers of the bearded goose? Come on, come on, drink first, and after drinking, there is an inconsequential thing that you want to ask casually. ”

Lao Chen smiled: "You can ask casually, I don't know how many days I haven't been to court, I don't know what happened recently in this Wuzhou City, I just drink and gnaw my elbows." ”

While speaking, Lao Li took his eyes to spare Lao Li, picked up the wine that Zhang beard poured for him, took a sip, and put on a look of schadenfreude that it was none of his business, but the solemn atmosphere between the two people before was suddenly swept away.

Lao Li couldn't laugh or cry. He said angrily: "Okay, you old Chen who is used to falling into the well, just go to drink his wine casually, how do you know that Zhang Huzi must ask about things in court?" Maybe it's a matter of the rivers and lakes, then you will lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot, and I will die of laughter. ”

Zhang Huzi applauded and smiled: "Look at the two masters who are so scared, I just died of laughter, do you really think I dare to drug in wine?" I wouldn't dare to lend me the guts. I'm just trying to use an excuse to honor and honor the two of you, who wants me to love and respect heroes. ”

Zhang Huzi was not afraid of slapping the dead horse and gave a thumbs up, "Who doesn't know, Li Ye, you are a model of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness in our Wuzhou City, and Chen Ye is a great upright and loyal hero, no better than us bastards who only recognize silver in our eyes, come on, come on, two masters, I will do it first as respect." ”

The three of them have known each other for many years, and Zhang Huzi can be regarded as a famous ruthless corner in Wuzhou City, and he still has some face in the eyes of these two head hunters, so although they joked here, they didn't really refuse Zhang Huzi's invitation to eat.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, a plate of crystal elbows was quickly carved up, and Yiweng's daughter Hong soon bottomed out.

Li Zhutou didn't have much kung fu on his body, the amount of alcohol was the worst, and his eyes were a little red, Chen Zhutou's kung fu was good, but there was no alcohol on his face, he looked at Zhang Huzi and smiled: "The wine is gone, and the elbow is also down, Zhang Huzi, if you have something to say, let it go, don't think about it after a while when we leave, you will remember that your flesh hurts." ”

Zhang Huzi saw that the time was almost up, so he smiled and said: "Since Chen Ye has to say that the small ones have plans, and the small ones have to be talked about, the two masters, I just want to inquire with you, is there an old man surnamed Li who was held outside the city by a few poor masters yesterday?" ”

Lao Li and Lao Chen couldn't help but glance at each other, Lao Chen spread his hands and smiled: "I'll just say it, Zhang Huzi, I really don't know about this, Lao Li You should be clear, so I said that I bothered you with this meal." ”

Lao Li nodded: "When it was dark yesterday, I don't know what's going on, they took a bad old man who went up the mountain to collect medicine outside the city, but I don't know if it's surnamed Li, since you asked, I have to go back and ask." ”

Then he smiled again: "Just now I also told Lao Chen about how many people surnamed Li are in and out of this Wuzhou city, look, I can't say anything, and I came to inquire about the surname Li, hey, this surnamed Li has been rampant in Wuzhou for too long, and this will be robbed." ”

Lao Chen was also happy: "Lao Li, I see that you have drunk too much, right?" Don't forget, your surname is Li. ”

Then put down the wine cup and said to Zhang Huzi: "Zhang Huzi, thank you for your wine and food, in fact, you can just say something if you have something, ask me to ask Lao Li is the same, Lao Li, you go back and hurry up to inquire him, don't delay." ”

Lao Li nodded hurriedly, and also told Lao Chen: "Okay, I'll go to the prison to see when I go back...... Lao Chen, don't forget what I entrusted you, even if you help me, this anxious day is really not a person. ”

Lao Chen smiled inexplicably, didn't say anything, stood up by himself, Zhang Huzi also quickly stood up, and said with a bowing smile: "Master Chen, Master Li, I hope to bother to give me a quasi-letter." ”

Lao Chen looked at Lao Li, who was still sitting and holding a wine cup and was reluctant to put it down, Lao Li thought about it and said to Zhang Huzi: "You go to my house at night to ask for letters." ”

Zhang Huzi heard Lao Li say this, and his heart suddenly felt disdain and pain, these officials are really fucking bastards, authentic geese plucked their feathers, and went to his house at night? Isn't it obvious that you just want to inquire about the hardship fee?
