It is said that Jia Anniang avoided the important and lightened it, and coaxed the Liu brothers to spare Liuzhuang easily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Xiaoqi then arched his hand and said: "The kid is a fledgling and is not good at vulgar things, so please ask Mrs. Jia for advice." How should Princess Lin'an deal with this matter. ”
Jia Anniang said: "The identity of Yin Qiye, even if you talk to Xiangyang Houfu, they don't know. Didn't Chen Yatou say that she wanted to accept Mingyi as a disciple? Annoyed Rong Guofu to be a Chinese person, just give them a generous gift. It's just that the children's family is not serious, and it is not easy to care about it in the house. ”
At this time, the guy came in and replied, saying that Mrs. Pan was here. Qi has not been here since the opening of Falcon Books, but this is the first time. Liu Si didn't consciously look at the sky, but Liu Mingyi jumped out to pick up her mother.
Qi timidly made a blessing to everyone, and said: "I was originally related to Xiangyang Houfu, and when I entered the palace, I also took the name of their girl, and I always helped them in the house once. Now that the matter of Young Master Zhuang has started because of me, Ming'er, I will go to the mansion to ask Princess Lin'an for guilt, and if you want to kill or chop me, you can only ask me alone. If you want to come to Nafu, it's always for the sake of your relatives......" she bit her lip.
Jia Anniang said: "According to me, it is very appropriate to hand over such an idea to Yin Qiye for disposal, why did Pan Niangzi bother to send it to the door to practice for others?" The Gongmenhou Mansion is full of snobbery, and it's useless for you to break your head. ”
Qi couldn't help but look at Liu Si. Liu Mingyi shouted first: "Mother! Uncle Seven will deal with it! Uncle Seven won't mess with that princess! The Qi family still looked at Liu Si.
Liu Si said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Qi wanted to speak and stopped, and the old man hung his head.
After Jia Anniang and the Qi family left, Liu Er asked Liu Xiaoqi: "What kind of business are you doing?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi: "Didn't the second brother see it all?" ”
"Where did all that news come from?"
"From where you come from, and sell where you give money." Liu Xiaoqi clapped his hands and turned around to go out.
Liu Er suddenly said: "Rectifying thieves and thieves was originally the work of the imperial court, but now it is actually done by people in the market. ”
Liu Xiaoqi stopped, turned around and smiled: "Second brother can actually think of this?" ”
Liu Er was silent for a moment and asked, "Only do this?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "That's all I need to do right now." I'm going to have to do something else in the future. Liu Er inquired with his eyes, and Liu Si was listening. Liu Xiaoqi said, "Most of the evildoers in Beijing today are filthy officials, corrupt officials, slaves, and bullies. I'm going to have to be alone at this time, and I'm just trying to deter them by picking up some bullies. looks at the big name, but it is really a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he can't manage a few things. It's just that now that I'm famous, there are many people who can borrow my sign or do these things under the banner of admiring me. I have a relationship with Zhao Cheng and have helped him a little," he gestured to the study outside, "He still likes these comments, and the most important thing is that these people are all ruffians and hooligans - this is a quick job, Zhao Cheng will not pay attention to these cases." ”
Liu Si pondered: "Don't value these cases, don't value the market hooligans to let the righteous people kill them?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "According to the law, you can't mess around with the case if you catch it quickly." It's just that hit too. Since the last few years of the ancestral dynasty, the Manchu magnates have gradually become arrogant, the market bullies have gradually become involved with the officials, and the commanders of the five cities and horses to the ordinary county lords no longer dare to handle cases according to the law. Not long after, the "Talisman" was circulated everywhere. For example, Jinling has spread what 'Jia is not fake, and white jade is a horse for Tang Jin. 'It's about the Rongguo Mansion and the Prince of Liangguang, and they are a few of them. Where can everyone be clever and know what to check and what not to check? or wasted all his efforts to solve the case, and watched the murderer get out like no one; What's more, if you catch yourself quickly, you have to suffer a loss and compensate the murderer. Those who can't swallow this breath change their careers and don't do it, and those who stay and those who come new gradually become less managed. In the market, most of the small ones rely on the rangers. ”
Liu Si's eyes flashed and said, "You can't expect the rangers to remember what the "Talisman" is. ”
Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Whoever accidentally injures the minions of the wealthy will wander around, and the market will gradually become bigger. Since the momentum is great, it is inevitable that there will be positive and unright. There are many unscrupulous scoundrels in the market, and it is inevitable that they will hurt the people on the "Talisman" again. Taking Jingzhong as an example, most of the cases investigated and handled by Zhao Cheng in recent years are these. ”
Liu Sidao: "According to your wishes, there are many small nights in the market. Zhao Cheng who hurts the powerful officials will take care of it, and he who hurts ordinary people will not care. Now that you are willing to take care of the wounded and the people of him, he will be at ease. In the future, someone will take care of these things in your name, and Zhao Cheng will still be happy. ”
Liu Xiaoqi nodded again and again: "What the fourth brother said is not bad, that's the case." ”
Liu Er said: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do I listen to what you and Mrs. Jia say, as if there is a hidden feeling? ”
Liu Sidao: "Second brother, it is a good thing on the surface, but it is really a disadvantage of the country. Xiaoqi, they are not officials or officials, where do they have the right to manage those? If the name is not right, it is not good, do you want the rules? ”
Liu Xiaoqi clapped his hands and said: "The Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven partner to sell the knight, do you still want the rules?" ”
Liu Sidao: "What are you doing this for?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi said: "What else can I do for it?" We live in the market every day, and naturally hope for a smooth life and prosperous business. Who wants to have a kidnapper and kidnap a child twice in three days? Or is it a good way to make a living at home, and just after saving two dollars, a ruffian comes to the door to ask for it? Since the government doesn't care, someone has to take care of it, right? ”
Liu Sidao: "In this case, it is very appropriate for you to take the area near the left." Listen to your intentions, even Chengbei wants to take care of it. ”
Liu Xiaoqi spread his hands and said: "The west of the city and the north of the city are not far away, won't the kidnappers in the north of the city come to the west of the city to kidnap the children?" I don't deserve to be a tyrant in the market. The rangers are willing to learn from me, and I will confiscate them as apprentices, nor will I recognize them. They run fast with their hands and feet, Zhao Cheng can't catch them, what does it have to do with me Yin Qi? I'm just a book seller. After that, his face was full of innocence, and the corners of his eyes were full of playfulness.
Liu Si looked at him carefully for a long time and said, "Xiao Qi, you give me the truth." What do you and Mrs. Jia want? ”
Liu Xiaoqi said: "Do the right thing for the sky." Liu Er and Liu Si all showed disbelief. Liu Xiaoqi said, "Really." We only work for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Criminal Department for free, and we don't get any money. Everything is done secretly by people with strong martial arts, and they will never gather to collect disciples, nor will they leave any reputation such as 'timely rain Song Gongming'. Gratuitous! ”
Liu Si sneered: "Such a laborious thing, it's just a matter of taking care of it by chance; For a long time, Jiute raised many people to do this for free, and there was no plan. You will have a plan. ”
Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Dare to ask the fourth brother what do we want?" ”
Liu Si pondered for a long time and said: "You just said that most of the evildoers in Beijing are filthy officials, corrupt officials, rich slaves, and bullies, and at the moment you only clean up the 'bully'." I'm afraid that there are more people in Rongguo Mansion. ”
"I don't stop either!" The corners of Liu Xiaoqi's mouth curled, "It won't be long before corrupt officials and corrupt officials and slaves will attack." ”
"By the way, help Jia Cong, Feng Ziying and others eradicate dissidents?"
"Never!" Liu Xiaoqi waved his hand again and again, "Jia Cong and Feng Ziying are all lonely ministers, and they have nothing to do with the others under King Yan. If the two of them want to eradicate dissidents, why can they go to such great lengths? It's very cheap to play tricks and get an unjust case. I just told you. These things, as long as the court does them, we naturally don't do them. It's because they don't do it that we do it. Someone has to do it, right? ”
The two brothers were silent for a long time, and Liu Er sighed lightly: "I don't know what King Yan is doing." ”
"It's not about King Yan, it's just inertia." Liu Xiaoqi said, "The imperial court only collects taxes. Officials protect each other, and slaves bully the people. Second brother and fourth brother. He hugged his fists and said, "The two brothers are willing to help and work with the younger brother to be a chivalrous man who walks for the heavens?" ”
Liu Er and Liu Si glanced at each other, and Liu Si said, "I still don't understand what you want to do." ”
Liu Xiaoqi said: "Fourth brother, how many times have you asked?" I've answered all the questions before, and you are not tired of listening to them? By the way, I killed one last night, and there is a steward in the Liguo Mansion who wants to buy a shop at a low price of 20% of the market price. Liu Erliu was slightly startled. Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile, "I'm not Tete who took the Liguo Mansion, it just so happens that he is from the Liguo Mansion." ”
Liu Sidao: "These things, there are a lot of people in the Yanwang Mansion. ”
Liu Xiaoqi said: "King Yan is not short of money. His money came from the right time, and it was all from taxes and mining in Dongying. There are always few servants in his house who are in charge of affairs to go outside to forcibly seize the people's interests, and these people don't have to be soft. If it were his son...... he winked his eyes, "and only send a message to his other son." ”
Liu Ercheng read the comments of the green forest in the bookstore, and his chivalrous heart inevitably poured into it, thought about it again, and said: "That's it, my brother can't eat tea and snacks for nothing." ”
Liu Xiaoqi clapped his hands: "The second brother is even more free than the fourth brother!" ”
Liu Si saw that Liu Er agreed, and he was in a panic recently, and the Qi family was also annoyed, so he also said: "Brother is not good to live in your house for nothing." After a while, he said, "We're all in the gang, and you don't say what it's for?" ”
Liu Xiaoqi laughed: "My stupid brother! We're all wicked, haven't you heard of black eating black? ”
The two brothers suddenly realized! "I only thought that Rongguo Mansion was a person in the imperial court and was not short of money, but I didn't expect this section!" Ironing under the heart.
After a while, Chen Ruijin came, asked about the situation at this end, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way." So he took Jia Yu's film, took Jia Cong's name, and sent an important steward of Rongguo Mansion to Xiangyang Houfu to be a middleman. It is only said that Liu Zhuang is the nephew of a friend of Jia Cong, and he is also the son of Jiangmen Huzi, and he followed Feng Tang to Dongying. The child is young and not very sensible, and he does not take it seriously. He also told the story of this matter to Xiangyang Houfu. I heard that Princess Lin'an forced the embroidery lady to put aside Princess Jian'an's things and embroider her own things first, and thought that Rongguofu was to vent her anger for their third grandmother, so she didn't dare to theorize at all, but preemptively admitted that it was Princess Lin'an. Liu Xiaoqi sent another generous gift. Xiangyang Houfu has gradually become poor over the years, and I can't help but be overjoyed when I see the gift list, where can I remember that Princess Lin'an broke her ribs? That's it. Qi Shi was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it. The Liu family brothers turned around and trained the strength of Liu Zhuang's hands, and Liu Zhuang also carefully studied these words, not mentioning them for the time being.
When he went back that night, Old Man Liu asked Liu Er if he had found anything; Liu Er only said no. "Xiao Qi only sells books every day, the fourth helps him collect the accounts, and Zhuang'er helps do some small work such as packing books." He pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that some people often look at unusual people to buy books. ”
"What unusual people?"
"A pink-headed man dressed as a man, a beggar with a silver ticket in his arms, a blind fortune-teller." Liu Er said, "They really went to buy books." ”
Old Man Liu's brows furrowed: "These eighty percent are spies and the like." He asked, "What about Rongguofu?" ”
Liu Er said: "Except for the opening day, Jia Cong went once, and there was nothing to do with it since." Zhao Cheng often goes, and Feng Ziying has also been there a few times. Neither of them had recovered from their injuries. ”
Old Man Liu sighed: "That's it, it's inconvenient to force it too hard, now we can use the Rongguo Mansion." It's better to do an unannounced investigation. Nai said again, "Jia Si'er sent someone over today, and the dart that went south to pick up relatives for the young owner of Xiangrui Silver Building will leave the day after tomorrow." I thought, you often go outside, and you have been out of the palace to do a lot of things in the past, so you can go this time. Liu Er took the order. Old Man Liu said again, "Xiao Qi's head let the court boy look at it, he also saw it a few days ago." You'll talk to him later. ”
Liu Er received the order again. After a while, he said, "It's better to let the brothers take turns." One is clumsy, and the eyes of many are bright. Everyone went to see it, and they couldn't tell any different traces. ”
Old Man Liu thought for a while: "Reasonable." Just as you say. ”
The next day, Liu Xiaoqi waited for a long time and couldn't wait for Liu Er, so he looked around, and saw a familiar cousin leaning against the wall outside his bookstore and had nothing to do, so he beckoned him to come in for tea and snacks: "Why did you change you today?" The second brother still had comments yesterday that I haven't finished reading. This Liu Ye only knew that Liu Er came to Falcon Bookstore every day to eat, drink and read. Liu Xiaoqi was warmly invited again, and he entered the house like Liu Er, and when he went back at night, he went back with the unfinished commentary. Liu Er got up and followed the Taiping Dart Bureau south because Ming'er was going to go, so he sneaked back to the bookstore tonight, took the comments he hadn't finished reading and took them to relieve his boredom on the way. It didn't take long for the various comments of the Falcon Bookstore to spread throughout the Liu family, and the children of the Liu family who were watching Liu Xiaoqi also entered the house one by one. Only Old Man Liu didn't know about this matter.
In September, there were many murders in Beijing, and the murderers were all extremely martial arts and did not leave any traces. There are all the deceased, officials, petty officials, wealthy stewards, and abductors who shoot flowers, and they can't even find a place in common. In addition to murder and robbery, and left behind all kinds of handwriting, some were written on the wall, some were written on the table, and some were written on the drawing paper bought outside. All those who died had evil deeds. Grab people. His wife and daughter, the owner of the land, the house, the shop, and even the owner of a medicine shop died because he was selling counterfeit medicines. The killer has no regard for identity at all. Lai Sheng, the chief administrator of Ning Guofu, seized 50 acres of land on the outskirts of the city and was stabbed in the neck; An important eunuch under the prince of Yan married a girl, and wore a sleeve arrow in his heart. Zhao Cheng was so anxious that he had no clues, so he had to say that those who acted were rangers.
One day, Zhao Cheng couldn't explain. Hou Xiaoping, the third master of Xiuguo Mansion, died unexpectedly.
