Chapter 0267: The Inn Sees Gege
When you hear the name of the prefect Gao Wenhan, most of the stores will flock to it and greet it. But this store is different. The guest saw the shopkeeper Cai Si bowing down and inviting him, and asked the backyard to speak, most of them had unusual things to talk about. But the guest was still a little scheming, and asked, "Why should I go to your backyard because we are not related?" What if you are a black shop, what if you hack the money in my bag? β
Cai Si leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, "Don't you want to let Gao Wenhan fall off the horse?" I have some old enmity with Gao Wenhan, and I want to discuss it with my son. Dare to ask Childe's name? β
The man stared at Cai Si with half-believing eyes for a long time before he replied, "Learn from Mencius." I don't know what old enmity Cai Dianjia and Gao Wenhan have? β
This person is none other than Mencius. In five days, the old lady in his house will be 70 years old, and he was anxious to wait for the copper coins, so he ordered Mencius to learn to come to the money village to exchange huΓ n copper coins, and he didn't want to meet Cai Si in the store.
Cai Si said: "Meng Gongzi, please speak in the backyard!" Cai Si vouched with his head that the son was definitely worth the trip. I have the evidence in my hand that I can bring down Gao Wenhan. β
Mencius learned that he was solemn, and said in his heart, there are only a few dozen taels of silver in the blanke, even if it is hacked, it is not a big loss, but if he really has the evidence to put down Gao Wenhan in his hand, it is not something that can be bought with dozens of taels of silver. Thinking so, Mencius said boldly and reassuringly: "Okay, I'll go in with you." β
All the shops in Binh Duong are basically the same as the front shop and the back bed. Going out of the backstage of the store, it turned out to be an empty field, planted with some plane trees. There is a row of houses on the east and west sides. The west side seemed to be a resting place for the subordinates, and there was a faint sound of men eating and shouting inside. The east side appears to be a warehouse. The door is locked. Cai Si led Mencius through the empty field, and then entered the backyard. It's a backyard, but it's still three or five houses. The dΓ©cor seems to be better than in the front hall, and the courtyard is planted with some summer fruits and vegetables, including cucumbers, eggplants, and freshly purple bunches of grapes.
Cai Si still wanted to go to the house, but Mencius learned that it was very chic under the grape trellis, and hurriedly said: "Let's not go into the house either, it's very cool under the grape trellis." β
Cai Si naturally replied yes, and ordered the little servant to bring two bamboo and rattan circle chairs. The host and guest are seated. Soon, the little servant brought a tea table and poured tea for the two. I cut another plate of fresh watermelon and brought it up.
Mencius learned to be informal, and he fought with Cai Si for a long time on a hot day, and he happened to be thirsty at this time, and he didn't wait for Cai Si to let him. I took a piece of watermelon and nibbled on it.
Cai Si smiled. I also ate a piece of watermelon myself. After a piece of watermelon went down, Mencius took out the silk handkerchief in his arms, wiped his hands and face, and asked, "What did you just say to me?" Do you really have the evidence in your hands that can bring down Gao Wenhan? β
Cai Si also ate clean watermelon, still wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and replied: "Don't hide it from Meng Gongzi, Cai Si used to be a small servant in the prefect's mansion, and he was framed by the prefect's mansion and kicked out. Although Cai Si has run a money village over the years, he has some money. But I've been haunted by it. Coincidentally, a few days ago, I was drinking with a friend in the former house. I bought a note from him that there was a large joint available. Cai Si asked clearly, only to know that it was the question of the government examination, but it was written by Gao Daren. β
As soon as he heard half of the words, Mencius couldn't help but smile and hurriedly asked, "Where is that note, you can show it to me." I am the candidate of this spring's government exam, whether it is the question of this spring's exam, I naturally know very well. β
Cai Si took out a close-fitting silk handkerchief from his arms, uncovered the four corners of the silk handkerchief, and revealed a thin and crude paper inside. Mencius glanced at it, hurriedly took the paper, and read it carefully, but Coco was the exam question of this spring's government.
Cai Si said: "Cai Si can't read a few words, but he can see that this is written by Master Gao. Childe can be regarded as a tall man's handle? β
Mencius stared at the paper, his face showed surprise, and he suddenly clapped the case and exclaimed, "Isn't this Gao Wenhan's handle?" As the so-called mountains and rivers are exhausted, there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. This is so good that I just took it to see Gege. But ~~~~"
Cai Si interrupted him and said, "Who did you say you were going to meet, Gege?" But Qing Gege from Jingshi? Childe knows Qing Gege? β
Mencius said excitedly: "Don't I know Qing Gege? If I hadn't invited Qing Gege to Pingyang, do you think that the noble Gege would come to Pingyang? β
Cai Sisi was overjoyed and said in a lost voice: "Chance! This is completely arranged by God. Cai Si also wanted to see Gege's side with his own eyes, and showed Gao Wenhan's handle to Gege, but unfortunately no one recommended him, and he just met Gongzi today, wasn't it arranged by God? β
Mencius was originally an acute child, and at this time, he was ecstatic when he saw the evidence, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn to see Qing Gege." β
Coming out of Qianzhuang, the two rode straight to the Yuelai Inn. It was nearly noon, the weather was hot, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The two of them hurried up, and they arrived at the Yuelai Inn in an instant.
The two dismounted and tied up. Mencius walked quickly to the store, and was about to ask the store, when he saw Dark Xiang and the store coming in from the backyard, and Dark Fragrance explained that the lunch dishes must be light and refreshing. The shopkeeper nodded frequently, listened to the instructions of the dark incense, and then went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Dark Xiang raised her eyes and saw Mencius standing in the store, and came over and asked, "Why did you get there?" Gege is trying to figure out a way, don't be impatient! β
Mencius Xue saw that there were still a few idle people sitting in the store, so he pulled the dark incense to the corner and whispered in his ear: "I have found evidence of Gao Wenhan's guilt." β
Dark Xiang's face changed slightly, fleeting, he bowed his head and said to Mencius: "I'll go and tell Gege, and I'll call you upstairs in a while." β
Soon, Dark Incense came down from upstairs and beckoned Mencius to go upstairs. Mencius and Cai Si winked, and the two went upstairs in parallel to the upper room where Gege lived.
When Cai Si saw Gege for the first time, he was always entangled and uneasy, and he didn't know what kind of character Gege was. Stopped at the door, and heard Mencius softly whispered: "Mencius, the scholar of the Plains, brought Cai Si, the owner of the money village, to Gege to say goodbye!" β
A female voice in the room called out crisply, "Come in!" β
Mencius and Cai Si pushed the door in. Cai Si didn't dare to raise his head because he saw Gege for the first time, and when he entered the door, he knocked to the ground, and shouted: "Pressing money Zhuang Cai Si to ask Qing Gege for peace!" β
Mencius just shook his head, and said in his mouth: "Pingyang scholar Mencius learns to ask Gege to say goodbye!" β
A female voice that was completely different from the one before replied in a deep voice: "Get up! β
Cai Si got up from the ground and peeked upwards to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman in front of her, sitting upright, with a fair complexion and a handsome appearance. There was a maid standing next to her, with slightly raised eyebrows and a pretty appearance. When he peeked at it, he was glared at fiercely by the maid, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head again.
I only heard Gege ask: "Mencius, what do you want to show Bengege?" β
Mencius replied: "If you go back to Gege, Mencius does have something to show Gege here, and Gege will understand it at a glance." β
Gege nodded and glanced at the maid beside him. The maid said, "Take it." β
Mencius handed the piece of paper and handed it to Hongcui. Hongcui couldn't help but be curious, looked down and saw that there were tadpole characters densely, secretly stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly handed it over to Gege to see.
Gege took a closer look and asked, "Where did this paper come from?" β
Cai Si replied: "This paper was bought by Cai Si from a friend at a great price. After that, he told Gege about the plot of drinking with Liu San that night, how Liu San behaved, took out the paper, and how Cai Si bought it.
After listening, Gege nodded and asked, "Is this really Gao Wenhan's own handwriting?" β
Cai Si replied: "Cai Si has been a messenger in the house for more than ten years, and Cai Si guarantees with his own head, and there is nothing wrong with it." β
Gege looked at the insignificant piece of paper in front of him, and said in his heart, this is definitely evidence that can bring down Gao Wenhan. With this piece of paper, I am afraid that Gao Wenhan will not escape the blame. If you were someone else, or you would have been ecstatic, but Gege was calm and introverted, and although she was overjoyed in her heart, she didn't show it on her face at all. She folded the paper and asked Cai Sidao: "Bengege wants to leave this note, are you willing?" As for the money you buy on paper, Bengege will not lose a penny for you. β
Cai Si hurriedly replied: "What did Gege say?" When Cai Si is filial piety, Cai Si can still take out some little silver. β
Gege nodded and praised: "You did a good job!" It's just that Bengege can't receive your favor in vain. She turned to Hongcui and said, "Serve the pen and ink!" β
Hongcui bowed her waist and replied yes, turned around and walked into the screen, and in an instant, she put on pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Hongcui grinded well, and Gege wrote down four words with a wave of ink - harmony and wealth. Hongcui blew angrily, and when the ink dried a little, Gege ordered: "These four words are given to Cai's shop, which is considered the money to buy this piece of paper." Cai shop, do you think it's still suitable? β
Cai Si was flattered, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you Gege!" Thank you Gege! Cai Si will definitely frame it well when he goes back, and hang it in the money village for the guests to pay their respects. β
Gege waved his hand and ordered him to get up, and then said to Mencius, "You can go back with him." β
Mencius didn't dare to ask more, so he replied yes. Gege instructed Dark Fragrance to send the two out of the store.
Hongcui entered the inner room and removed the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Gege stared at the paper on the table in a daze.
"Gege has an idea?" Dark incense's words rang softly in my ears.
Gege raised his head and said slowly, "Have you ever heard of borrowing corpses to return souls?" β
Dark Fragrance thought for a moment and replied: "If Dark Fragrance remembers well, borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul is the fourteenth of the thirty-six strategies?" β
Gege nodded slightly, and then asked, "Do you remember the content of borrowing corpses to return souls?" β
"Resurrection of a corpse? Sounds weird and interesting. Dark incense, can you tell me, what does it mean to borrow a corpse to resurrect a soul? But what kind of ghost legend? Hongcui likes to hear this the most. When I was a child, I couldn't sleep at night, so I pestered my mother to tell me ghost stories, and I fell asleep while listening to them. Anyway, I'm bored today.,Dark incense, you tell us a ghost story to relieve boredom.,It's best to deceive the corpse.γResurrection or something.,I think it's good to borrow the corpse to return the soul.γ β
Looking at it again, Hongcui twisted her waist out of the inner room, her expression was very excited. (To be continued......)
