It is said that the old cripple came out of the Fu Office, resigned from the sedan chair, walked on the street for a while, and wandered in the antique shop for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info returned to the store in the evening, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran into the house to say "congratulations", and the old man was at a loss and didn't know what was going on.

The shopkeeper said: "I just heard that the tall master of the courtyard personally came to invite you to be old, saying that Futai wanted to see you old, so he went all the way to the yamen." You're so good at cultivating! In the upper room, an old man Li and a master Zhang both took the letter from the capital to see Futai, but they couldn't see each other three or five times. When I see him by chance, I will lose my temper and scold people, and I will take the film and send people to the county to beat it at every turn. Like you, the old man who has a copywriter from Taiyang is invited to come in and talk, how big is this face! Isn't that imminent? Why don't you give you the old goodbye! The old man said: "No, you listen to their nonsense." I said that there is a pearl spring in the Futai Yamen, which may lead us to see and understand, so yesterday the tall man happened to be free and came to ask me to see the spring. There's Futai to invite me! The shopkeeper said, "I know, don't lie to me." When the tall old man was talking here before, I heard his housekeeper say that Futai went in to eat, walked past the door of the tall old man's room, and shouted: 'You have eaten quickly, and you will go and ask that iron man to come!' If it's too late, I'm afraid he won't be able to see him today. The old man laughed: "Don't believe their nonsense, there is no such thing." The shopkeeper said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to borrow money." ”

I only heard the shouting outside: "Where is the shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper hurried out. I saw a person, wearing a bright blue top, dragging a flower feather, wearing a pair of gripping tiger boots, a purple tweed robe, an azure hara horse coat, holding a lantern in one hand, and a pair of red name cards in the other, shouting in his mouth: "What about the shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper said, "Here, here!" What's the matter with you? The man said, "Do you have an iron master here?" The shopkeeper said, "Yes, yes, you live in this east wing, and I will lead you there." ”

The two walked in, and the shopkeeper pointed to the old remnant and said, "This is Tie Ye." The man hurried a step, stepped forward to ask for an an, raised the post in his hand, and said: "Gong Bao said, please Tie Lao's An!" Tonight, because the school was invited to eat, I couldn't keep Master Tie to eat in the yamen, so I asked the kitchen to quickly set up a table of banquets and asked him to send it over immediately. Gong Bao said, if you don't eat it, please ask Tie Lao Ge to cover it. The man turned back and said, "Bring up the banquet." The two people behind him carried a rectangular box with three exhibitions, lifted the lid, the first exhibition was a small bowl of plates, the second exhibition was a large bowl of bird's nest shark fin, and the third exhibition was a roast pig, a duck, and two plates of dim sum. When he opened it, he shouted, "Where is the shopkeeper?" At this time, the shopkeeper stood next to him with the teahouse and others, and he was stunned for a long time, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly responded: "What's the matter?" The man said, "You beckoned to be sent to the kitchen." The old man hurriedly said: "The palace guard bothered like this, he didn't dare to do it." While asking the man to sit in the room and eat tea, the man repeatedly refused. The old man came into the room and sat down on the first pestle; Let him go to the kang, and he will not die.

The old man took the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for him. The man hurriedly stood up and thanked him, because he said: "Listen to the official guarantee, hurry up and clean the courtyard of the south study, and ask Master Tie to go in and live the day after tomorrow." If there is any dispatch in the future, just go to the military patrol room and call out, and go over to serve. The old remnant said: "How dare you, how dare you!" The man stood up, said goodbye, and said, "Take your leave, and if you want to go back to the ya, please give me a business card." The old cripple called the teahouse and gave him four hundred dollars for picking the box; While writing a thank you post and sending the man out, the man repeatedly insisted, but the old man still sent him out of the gate to see the man get on the horse.

The old cripple came back from the door, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "You still have to lie to me!" Didn't Lord Futai send a banquet? I came here just now, I heard that it was Master He, who was a general. In the past two years, the guests who live in my store, Futai often send banquets, but they are just ordinary banquets, just send a Gash to come. It's the first time I've respected it like this! The old remnant said: "Then don't worry about him, whether it's ordinary or abnormal, but how to sell this table of dishes?" The shopkeeper said: "Or send a few close friends, or write a post tonight, invite a few decent guests, and Ming'er to take them to Daming Lake to eat." What Futai gave is much more glorious than what is bought with gold. The old man smiled and said, "Since it is more glorious than what is bought with gold, but who wants to buy it?" I will sell him two handfuls of gold to pay for your food. The shopkeeper said: "Don't be busy, I am not afraid of the money in your old house, and someone will develop it for you." If you don't believe me, try my word and see if it doesn't work! The old remnant said: "It doesn't matter what he does, it's just that tonight's table of dishes, in my opinion, has been transferred to you for a treat." I was very reluctant to eat him, and I was so annoyed. ”

After talking for a while, the old man was still a guest, so he invited all the guests of this hotel to the upper room. The people who live in the upper room, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Zhang, are extremely arrogant. Today, seeing that Futai is so serious, I am thinking of contacting and contacting, so as to seek protection for the sake of affection. But when the old man borrowed his outside to invite the person in the store, it was naturally the two of them who sat down, and there was nothing they liked. So during this banquet, the old cripple was complimented so uncomfortable. It's very helpless, so I have to say a few perfunctory words. It's easy to finish the wine and disperse.

Knowing this Li Ergong, he personally came to the wing room to thank him, one by one, and flattered him for a long time. The surname Li said: "Brother can donate a fellow knowledge, this year with the donation of a class, next year's spring case, another class, the autumn introduction, you can get Jidong Taiwu Lindao." It is a matter of intent to make up for the loss of signature. The surname Zhang said: "Brother Li is the richest man in Tianjin, if the elder brother can take care of him to get two guarantees, this donation to the palace, Brother Li can take out the loan." It's not too late to wait for the guy to get the merit or the difference. The old cripple said: "After the love of the two, the brothers are finally edified." It's just that there is no ambition to go out of the mountain at the moment, and if you want to go out of the mountain in the future, you will be pleaded again. The two tried to persuade them again, and each went back to his room to sleep peacefully.

The old cripple thought to himself: "I wanted to fight for Pan Huan again, looking at this situation, I am afraid that the senseless entanglement will be tighter and tighter." 'Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan'. That night, he wrote a letter to support Gao Shaoyin's friendship with Zhuang Gongbao. Tianfuming, about to settle the store accounts, hired a second-in-command car, and went out of the city.

Out of the west gate of Jinan Mansion, eighteen miles to the north, there is a town and city, called Luokou. When the Yellow River was not merged with the Qing River, all the seventy-two springs in the city entered the river from this place, which was a very prosperous place. Since the merger of the Yellow River, although there are still cargo ships coming and going, it is only one-tenth of one-two, which is far from it. When the old man arrived at Yukou, he hired a small boat, and explained that he was sent to Dongjiakou, a subordinate of Caozhou Prefecture, to get off the boat, and paid two hangs of money first, and the boatman bought some firewood and rice. But fortunately, it was a southeast wind today, so I hung up the sails and went "whirring". When the sun was about to set, he had arrived at Qihe County and anchored. On the second day, he stayed in Pingyin, on the third day he stayed in Shouzhang, and on the fourth day, he arrived at Dongjiakou and stayed on the ship for one night. Tianming developed the ship money and moved the luggage to live in a shop in Dongjiakou.

This Dongjiakou is originally an avenue from Caozhou Mansion to Daimyo's Mansion, so there are several car shops. This store is called Dong Erfang's old store. The shopkeeper's surname is Dong, who is over 60 years old, and everyone calls him Lao Dong. There is only one fellow, named Wang San. The old cripple lived in the store, and he should have hired a car to go to Caozhou Mansion, because he wanted to inquire about Na Yuxian's political achievements along the road, so he set off slowly so that he could visit.

On this day, when there was a chen card, the guests in the store, even the one who got up and retreated, also left. The shopkeeper cleaned the house, and the shopkeeper's account was finished, and he sat at the door. The old man also sat down on the bench at the door and said to Lao Dong: "I heard that the adults in your mansion are very good at handling robbery cases, what is the situation?" The old Dong sighed and said: "Lord Yu is a clean official, and he really tries his best to handle the case, but his hands are too spicy, and there were a few robbers at the beginning, and then the robbers touched his temper, and this Lord Jade became a weapon for robbers." ”

The old man said: "How do you say this? Lao Dong said: "In the southwest corner of our place, there is a village called Yujiatun. There are also more than 200 households in Yujiatun. There was a rich man in the village, named Yu Chaodong, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Both sons married daughters-in-law and raised two grandchildren. The daughter also came out of the cabinet. This family lives a very comfortable life. Unexpectedly, disaster came, and in the autumn of last year, he was robbed by robbers. In fact, it was just a robbery of some clothes and jewelry, which was worth only a few hundred dollars. This family reported the case, and after these three people tried their best to take it, they actually took two robber men who were followers, and the stolen goods recovered were only a few pieces of cloth clothes. The robber's mind had long since gone to where he had gone.

"Who knew that because of this, the robbers had a vengeance. In the spring of this year, the robber actually robbed a family in the city. Lord Yu was resolute and didn't hold a single person for a few days. A few days later, another family was robbed. After snatching it, Daming set fire to it. Do you think, Lord Jade may follow? Naturally, the horse team was mobilized and chased down.

"When the robber had robbed him, he went out of the city with a torch in his hand, and with a foreign gun in his hand, who dared to come forward to stop him. After walking more than ten miles to the north, the torch was extinguished. Lord Yu transferred the horse team and walked out into the street, and the local security guard and the husband reported the situation in detail. When the horses were chased out of the city, they saw the robbers' torches in the distance. After chasing for twenty or thirty miles, I saw another fire in front of me, with two or three gunshots. When Lord Jade heard this, how could he not be angry? Relying on his courage, he had twenty or thirty horses under his command, all of whom carried foreign guns, so what else was he afraid of. kept chasing, either firelight or gunfire. When the day was about to dawn, it was not far from catching up, and it was time to arrive at this Yujiatun. After Yujiatun and chased forward, there was no gun or fire.

"Lord Jade thought for a moment and said, 'Don't chase forward, this robber must be in this village.' At that time, the horse's head was retracted, and when he arrived at the village, there was a Guandi temple in the middle of the street and got off the horse. He divided his horse team and sent eight men, south, east, west, and north, with two horses on one side, and no one was allowed to go out; Call up the land protection, township covenant and others. By this time, the sky was clear. This jade lord himself led the people on the horse team to walk from the south to the north and searched from house to house. After searching for a long time, there are no traces. I searched from the east and west, and just found this Yu Chaodong's house, and found three earthen guns, a few knives, and more than a dozen poles.

Lord Jade was furious and said that the robber must be at his house. Sitting in the hall, he called the earth guard and asked, 'Who is this?' Di Bao replied: "This family's surname is Yu." The old man's name is Yu Chaodong, and he has two sons: the eldest son is called Yu Xueshi, and the second son is called Yu Xueli, both of whom are donors. Lord Yu immediately called for the three fathers and sons of the Yu family to be brought up. Do you think, a countryman, when he sees the lord of the house coming, and he is angry, is there any reason not to be afraid? In the upper hall, the father and son knelt down, already shaking, and they could still talk there.

"Lord Jade said, 'You are so bold! Where did you hide the robbers? The old man was speechless with fright. is still his second son, who has studied in Fucheng for two years, has seen a little of the world, is a little more courageous, kneeling and straightening his waist, and returning upward; 'The prisoner's family has always been a good citizen, and he has never interacted with robbers, how dare he hide robbers?' "Lord Jade said, 'Since there is no collusion with the robbers, where did this weapon come from?' Yu Xueli said: "Because after the theft last year, there were robbers in the village who kept coming, so I bought a few poles and asked the field and long-term workers to take turns to protect the family. Because the robbers all have foreign guns, and there is no place to buy foreign guns in the countryside, and they dare not buy them, so they returned two or three earthen guns from the birds they hunted, and they let them sound twice at night to frighten and frighten the robbers. "Lord Wang shouted: 'Nonsense! That is the reason why good people dare to buy arms! Your family must be robbers! , turned around and shouted: 'Come! Then the men agreed in unison like thunder: 'Ah! Lord Jade said, 'You have sent people to guard the front and back doors, and they will search for me earnestly!' So the horsemen came to his house, and searched the upper room, and searched the wardrobes and cupboards, and threw them all over the house, and tucked away the jewels that were a little lighter and of a little more value. After searching for a long time, I didn't find anything illegal. After the search was found, in the northwest corner, there were two rooms with tattered farm tools, and a bag was found, in which there were seven or eight pieces of clothing, three or four of which were still old silk. When the horsemen came to the hall, they replied, 'Give this burden in the back room where the things are piled up, and it is not like your own clothes, so please have your lord inspect it.' ”

"Lord Nayu saw it, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes froze, and he said, 'These clothes, I remember, seem to be from the family that was stolen in the city the day before yesterday. Let's take it back to the yamen and check it according to the missing list. Then he pointed to the clothes and said to the father and son of the Yu family, 'Where did you say these clothes came from?' The father and son of the Yu family looked at each other, but they couldn't go back. Yu Xueli said, 'I really don't know where this garment came from. Then Lord Yu stood up and divided: 'Leave twelve horsemen behind, and take the father and son back to the city for trial!' So saying, he went out. And the men who were with them took their horses, mounted them, and took the rest of them into the city.

Here, the father and son of the Yu family hugged and cried with his family. The twelve horsemen said: 'We have been running all night, and our stomachs are very hungry, so get us something to eat, and go quickly!' Who doesn't know the temper of adults, and the later they go, the worse it gets. The local security guard also went back in a panic to explain, packed his luggage, asked Yu's family to prepare a few cars, and everyone sat in. arrived for more than two days before entering the city.

"Yu Xueli's daughter-in-law here is a girl from Wu Juren in the city, thinking that her husband, his father-in-law, and eldest uncle have been arrested, and she must not be loose, so she consulted with his eldest sister-in-law at that time, and said: 'The three of their grandfathers and sons have been detained, and there is no one to take care of them in the city. I think, family affairs, sister-in-law, you always take care of it; Here I hurried into the city to find my father's idea. Do you like it? His sister-in-law said, 'Good, good.' I was thinking that I couldn't have no one in the city to take care of it. These people who are in charge of the Zhuangzi are all old people from the countryside, and they are just a few to go to the city, and they are like fools, useless. With that, Wu packed up, chose a double set of flying cars, and rushed into the city. When he came to his father, he howled and wept. At this time, it was only more than a day, more than ten miles earlier than the three of them.

Wu was crying and told his father about the catastrophe. When his father Wu Juren heard this, he trembled and said, "If you commit this mourning star, things will be very wrong, I'll go and see it first!" He hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the yamen of the palace to ask for an audience. He went up to the room and said, 'My lord said that he is going to commit a robbery now, and no one will be seen.' Wu Juren has always been good with the famous master of the criminal family, so he hurriedly went in to see the master and told him about this kind of wrongdoing. The master said, 'This case is in the hands of someone else, and it is absolutely fine. But the proprietor has never done what is lawful. If you can hand it over to your brother's study, you'll be fine. I'm afraid if I don't hand it over, then I can't do it. ”

Wu Juren made a few gestures one after another and entrusted him out. rushed to the east gate and waited for his in-laws and son-in-law to come in. But at one o'clock of tea, the horseman arrived with the cart. Wu Juren rushed to the front and saw the three of them, their faces were colorless. Yu Chaodong looked at it, and only said 'My family saves me', and the tears flowed down like the tide.

Wu Juren was about to speak, but the horse soldier next to him shouted: 'My lord has been sitting in the hall for a long time and waiting! It's already been urged by four or five horses, so let's go! The car didn't dare to stop. Wu Juren followed the car and said, "My family is relieved! In the soup and fire, I have a way, I must go. So saying, he came to the entrance of the yamen. I saw many public servants in the yali come out and urged: 'Hurry up and take it to the hall!' At that time, some messengers came, and locked the father and son with iron chains, and brought them up. Fang knelt down, and Lord Yu took the missing slip and handed it down, saying, 'Do you have anything else to say?' "The father and son of the Yu family said 'wronged', only to hear a shocking slap in the hall, and shouted: 'People have obtained stolen goods, and they still shout wronged!' Stand him up! Go! The left and right men dragged and dragged them down. "I don't know what's going on, but let's listen to the next breakdown. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
