Chapter 68: Arson
(Gentle begging for subscription, begging for pink~~~)
From the door of the main room, Ouyang Jin's brows furrowed high, "Why did someone come?" Didn't you write a letter back during the Dragon Boat Festival, why did you make trouble again? ”
He suddenly panicked, couldn't it be that his mother had died? Then you have to go back to your hometown for three years, what can this official do?
The step-room Tan clan greeted him with a look of grievance, "Who knows?" A person who claimed to be the eldest young master of our family suddenly appeared with a girl, and I didn't know it, so I naturally didn't dare to recognize it. As a result, they made a big noise at the door and injured the family. Those words that were said...... Forget it, you can't listen to it, sir, so as not to be angry. ”
Ouyang Jin's face had sunk, "What did he say?" ”
Tan Shi glanced at him before he said timidly, "He said...... Said his mother, your wife has been forced to die in the countryside, do you have to force his eldest son to death to be willing! Master, this tiger is poisonous and does not eat children. He said such things in front of our house, what did the neighbors think? In case it reaches the ears of which imperial history, do you want to do it? ”
"This son of a!" Ouyang Jin just picked up a cup of tea and fell down heavily, "You didn't gag him and tie him up?" ”
"How dare I?" Tan said pitifully, "He's a young man, do you want me to go to the door to quarrel with him?" Fortunately, Zhuang'er came back and finally got him into the house. The man didn't know who he learned it from, and he pretended to be dead when he entered the door, and I didn't dare to look at it, and I put it in the guest room outside with the girl. Sir, do you want to go over and see who it is? ”
"What's there to see?" Ouyang Jin heard that the matter had been resolved, so he didn't want to pay attention to it anymore. The exhaustion came up. When I fell down, I wanted to sleep, "Master, I want to sleep." We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"Whoa." Tan responded and took off his shoes and socks with his own hands. asked the girl to twist a hot handkerchief and cover his face for him, "The master is tired today." ”
Ouyang Jin only felt that this was intimate and agreeable, sighed, and said with emotion, "Who said it wasn't?" That Lu Zhengming fooled me again, saying that he wanted me to do a good job, and turned around to promote me. Hmph, it's his credit for it. With the black cauldron, I still have to carry it? ”
"What should I do if the official level crushes people to death? Let's bear with it, who told him to have a godfather who is a big eunuch in the palace? ”
"I also know that this is the case, but this day is really difficult. Supposedly, I'm almost at the end of my qualifications, so why can't I go up a liter? You don't know how to do it, he ate more than 30 taels of silver tonight alone, he is still too insufficient, and he wants me to ask the red opera of Cuiyun's class to accompany him, I'm afraid that I will have to pay two or three hundred taels again? I know it. Although we have some family background, it is not easy for you to be in charge of the house over the years, how can you withstand such a toss? If only I could move it, it would be great. ”
Tan lowered his head as if moved. "With the words of the master, the concubine will be content. What is the silver tael? It's Zhuang'er. It's easy to get through this big competition, he has been taught by his master since he was a child. He has been reading poetry and books for many years, if he can come out. There is also someone who can share the family for the master. ”
Ouyang Jin glanced at her, his eyes sank, "Don't worry, Zhuang'er is also a son-in-law, his name has been reported, and he will never change it." You're tired of taking care of all this mess, so I won't bother you. Come on, help me to Aunt Zi. ”
Waiting for Ouyang Jin to leave the courtyard, Tan's henchman Mama Zhao flashed out and said in surprise, "Aren't you all ready to rest, why did you leave again?" ”
Tan slammed the pillow hatefully, "He's forcing me to get him promoted, I'm not as good as he wants!" My sister's path is not taken casually, and it is better to give it to Zhuang'er than to give it to him. Forget it, he will pet whichever goblin he likes, and he can't get past me anyway. He has to have the ability to let him find a way out for those sluts who live cheaply! Fetch water and wait for me to wash. ”
Mama Zhao persuaded her a little before she hesitated, "Over there...... It doesn't seem to be a good situation, the girl has been clamoring for a doctor, ma'am, look ......"
Tan didn't understand it for a while, and it wasn't until Mama Zhao mentioned the word countryside again that she sneered, "It's not that I don't care, I just told the master before, but even the master doesn't want to see him, what can I do?" I don't know if it's true or not, how can I ask for a doctor? Besides, it's almost the second watch, and it's time for a curfew. I want to ask for a doctor, wait for Ming'er. ”
Seeing that she refused to pay attention to this matter anymore, Mama Zhao had no choice but to serve her and go out of the country.
When I came out, I saw Ouyang Zhuang sending someone to ask, "Is the master back?" Have you ever been there? ”
Mama Zhao said, "Go back to the second young master, just say that the master has already arranged it, don't worry about him, Mrs. asked him to just take care of the book and prepare for the exam." ”
But when he turned his head, he passed the words of meeting again tomorrow to the guest room outside the second door.
Nianfu was already so angry that he couldn't speak.
Has this Ouyang family made up their minds to kill their own son? Ouyang Kang fainted at the door of the house, and it was still the serious young master Ouyang Zhuang of the family who carried the person in, but after carrying it in, no one cared about it.
Throw them in an empty room, without even a pair of bedding, and just put them on the cold kang, and no one will take care of them. From the time I entered the door in the afternoon until now, no one gave me a sip of tea or a mouthful of food. Nianfu can survive, but what should Ouyang Kang do?
She really regrets entering the gate of Ouyang's house now, if they are outside, even if they don't have money, they can sell their new clothes, they can also change a coarse tea and light meal, and change Ouyang Kang's side medicine to eat, right? But now? Trapped in this palm-sized place, this is driving people to death!
"Ouyang Kang, Ouyang Kang, wake up, wake up!" But no matter how Nianfu pinched people, patted his cheeks, and fainted, Ouyang Dashao didn't even raise his eyelids. My body gradually became cold, and I began to shiver. It's a pendulum, it's dangerous!
Nianfu was anxious, "Let me ask again, are you willing to invite the doctor to come?" She pushed hard, but suddenly found that the door was locked, "You, you are actually locked?" Open the door, open the door! Let me go, someone! ”
It was useless to say, she just started kicking!
At last one of the servants thought she was too noisy and came out to speak. "In the middle of the night, don't make any noise. The old lady rested. I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”
"Your lord just left his sick biological son and ignored him, and slept with his big head? All right. Very good! ”
Since it is useless to reason, then Nian Fu will not be verbose, and directly drag the tables and chairs in the room to the door and start setting fire!
As if sensing the anger of her master, thin flames flowed from her fingers, like angry little fire dragons, and instantly wrapped around the wooden tables and chairs, and then instantly swelled, as if eager to break free from this suffocating indifference, and jumped up to the window. Blazing.
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”
Ouyang Jin was destined to not be able to sleep well this night, and even the Tan family was troubled.
Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and every house is not big, and the gold is very expensive. As soon as he saw a fire on the roof of someone's house, he didn't need the master to speak, and the neighbors spontaneously and automatically beat gongs and drums to summon the water dragon team.
"Whose house is this? How to start a fire! ”
Seeing a tall and burly military leader with a black face and a fire dragon team stepping into his own threshold, Ouyang Jin only felt his scalp tingle when he looked at it from afar. I secretly resented in my heart, who did so many things. Invite this scourge?
The Great Liang Dynasty was in charge of the firefighting work of the Beijing Division, an army under Jin Wuwei, numbering about 5,000 people, and there were small detachments around the capital to fight fires and provide disaster relief.
Anyone who can take charge of the army in Beijing will not be an ordinary person. To put it bluntly, all the Jin Wuwei are a personal soldier of the emperor. Although the official is not big, his position is important. In the capital, it has always been sideways, and no one dares to provoke it.
Especially the one who came today. Although young, he has long been famous. Of course, it's not because he's stupid. To tell the truth, at present, the country has just been founded, and the children of the gentlemen have not really grown up, and the young people who can become famous still have some real skills.
At present, this one is the grandson of the Dingguo family, the son-in-law of the general of the auxiliary state, and the first fierce general of the younger generation, who has won the official position of the general of Zhengsipin Zhongwu by his own strength.
That was before, of course.
This loyal general, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats during the war, seemed to suddenly have convulsions after the founding of the country and the pacification, and he got drunk and made trouble several times, and got into fights. In a few years, Shengsheng fell all the way from Zhengsipin to Zhengjiupin, and was transferred to the Water Dragon Team half a year ago, becoming a small captain, just in charge of this area of Ouyang Jin's family.
Since this lord took office, if you want to say that the people in the jurisdiction are really all cautious and cautious about the fire, even if it is the New Year, they dare not slack off. But who would have thought that the Ouyang family would be in trouble today? Especially the fire is very ruthless, no matter how the family splashes water, it can't be extinguished, but it dragged the great god himself with the water dragon team, carrying large and small buckets, fire forks and iron anchors to break in, and it is still burning very happily, is this a blatant provocation to the great god?
On the surrounding walls, there are already many subordinates from the neighbors, not only to be vigilant, but also to see how the Ouyang family deals with the aftermath.
Introduce, this person has the surname Gongsun, and his single name is a Hongzi. But in private, someone gave him a nickname, Hong Feng. The strength of people can be seen.
At the moment, whether he wants to or not, Hong Feng has entered the door, Ouyang Jin can only endure the headache, and stepped forward to reply, "General Gongsun, it was the Xiaguan's family who didn't check for a while, and there was a fire." ”
"So it's your house?" Gongsun Hong's mouth spewed out three points of wine, and his gait staggered slightly, but his eyes were amazingly bright, he raised his eyebrows and seemed to be smiling, and stepped forward and whispered, "The queen mother's family has turned a corner." ”
Ouyang Jin's old face was hot, but fortunately, he couldn't see clearly in the dark light. That Gongsun Hong patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't talk about these things first, let's talk about the fire when we put out the fire!" ”
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is burly and strong, and he almost slapped Ouyang Jin to sit down in these two moments. Fortunately, Ouyang Zhuang saw the opportunity quickly and stepped forward to help his father, so that he would not make a fool of himself.
Ouyang Jin only felt extremely embarrassed, and turned around and had nothing to say, "Why don't you go and bring a chair to the general?" ”
Tan listened in the back, and immediately asked people to send two chairs out, meaning one for each of the two. But he didn't expect Gongsun Hong to sit down with a golden knife, and the boat-like big feet unceremoniously stilted directly onto another mahogany chair with a brocade mattress, and hugged Ouyang Jin with a smile, "Thank you Lord Ouyang for your thoughtfulness, it just so happened that the official ate some wine and was a little drunk, so it was much more comfortable." Hey, is there anything alive in the room opposite? ”
"Nope." Ouyang Jin wanted to say that it was just an empty house, but someone shouted in the fire house.
"Yes!" (To be continued......)
