Liu Jia returned home and went straight to the room to lie down.

When his wife Wang came in, she saw that his face was pale and his eyes were lying blankly, so she wrinkled her eyebrows into a figure of eight, and then roared angrily: "The business is not done? Skipping a meal? ”

Usually when she yelled like this, Liu Jia would definitely jump up, then smile and say something good, and hurry back to the market.

But today's Liu Jia didn't move at all, and he didn't even move his eyes.

Wang felt a sigh in his heart, and reached out to touch his forehead, "It's not hot!" What's going on? ”

"It's fine." Liu Jiacai comforted his wife, but tears couldn't help but slide down his cheeks and flow down his ears all the way.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he refused to speak, Wang grabbed him and said anxiously: "You are still a man, if you have something to say!" ”

Liu Jia choked up and said, "Weifu bumped into ...... earlier Hit the broom star. ”

"That Jia Ping'an?" Wang was startled, slowly let go of his hand, and said blankly: "You...... How did you hit him? ”

The reputation of the broom star is now getting louder and louder, and the people of Huazhou can be said to be terrified.

Liu Jia covered his face with his hands and choked up: "I ate the food he made for my husband, and I want to ask...... But when I stepped on the vegetable leaf, I hit him. ”

Fear welled up between the couple, and Wang sat down weakly, "No wonder...... When the concubine met Peng Dashu before, he smiled so proudly, and said that when our wine shop will sell it, the original price will not be given, and it will have to be thirty percent lower. He's sure you'll be killed by the broom star. ”

Liu Jia took a deep breath and said hatefully: "Our family's wine shop has a good location and a good business, and Peng Dashu has always coveted it. It's just that the husband will pay attention to him? In the past two years, why have there been many evil people who have come to the wine shop to make trouble? It's Peng Dashu who is making it bad. ”

The so-called evil is the gangster in the future.

Liu Jia ...... Liu Jia! ”

There was a shout outside, Liu Jia got up and scolded: "It's Peng Dashu, he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob!" Anyway, it didn't end well, kill him! ”

Wang was faster, rushed into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he carried a kitchen knife in his hand and went straight out.

The streets of Datang are surrounded by walls on both sides, and inside the walls are fangs. You say that there are shops on both sides of the street, that's impossible. The Liu family lives in the square, and there are still streets and alleys in it.

Peng Dashu stood by the gate, and when he saw the Wang family coming out, he said solemnly: "I've seen Mrs. Wang." ”

Wang raised the kitchen knife and asked, "What are you doing at my house?" If you take advantage of the fire to rob, I will kill you today!" ”

Peng Dashu took out a Buddha statue from his sleeve and said: "I saw Liu Jia knocking down Jia Ping'an with my own eyes today, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get through, so I went to the temple and asked for a Buddha statue for him." Wang Niangzi just take it, if it works, she will be very happy. ”

This gesture, the neighbors who heard the news couldn't help but nod slightly, and someone said: "It's a loving and righteous one!" ”

Liu Jia came out, he held on to the door frame, and sneered: "You have coveted my wine shop for many years, and you will do whatever it takes to do so, if it is not resolved one by one, you will be the only one in the market at this moment." So-and-so tells you, wishful thinking! ”

Only then did everyone know that there was such a grievance, and they looked at Peng Dashu with disdain in their eyes.

"Hey!" Peng Dashu sighed, "Those grievances will not be argued, but that Jia Ping'an is a broom star, and today you pounced on him, I am afraid that you will be stained." If you look back, you will be restrained...... You will borrow money to repair the house, and when the business is not good, something will happen to you...... How will the money be repaid? Do you want your own lady to do business? ”

Hiss!

Liu Jia couldn't help but take a cool breath, "You are so poisonous!" ”

He will borrow money from the money catcher to renovate his house almost like rebuilding, that is the public money, once the money catcher knows that he is going to be unlucky, he will definitely come to the door in advance to ask for debts, and when the time comes, the wine shop will be confiscated and sold, who will he cry to?

This is the bottom of the kettle, so that Liu Jia has no power to fight back.

Peng Dashu sighed: "You misunderstood, I just thought, now I give you a good price, it can be regarded as a help for you." If you wait for you to be defeated by the broom star, then your wife and children will be alone, why bother! ”

"Good means!" Liu Jia gritted his teeth and pointed at Peng Dashu and said, "At most, it is one percent lower." ”

"Sancheng!" Peng Dashu said with a straight face: "The broom star touches the head of the mold, you are unlucky, I can't say that the business of the wine store will also be bad, those are all money!" ”

Liu Jia hesitated in his heart, he wanted to be tough, but once something happened, what would happen to his wife and children?

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in pain, "...... also"

Before the good words were spoken, there was a loud shout from the side.

"Cheap dog slave!"

Peng Dashu was complacent, when he saw Wang rushing out, the kitchen knife held high was shining with cold light, and he couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "What, who do you want to scare with this knife?" Come, have the courage to come to so-and-so! ”

Liu Jia was already dumbfounded, and shouted: "Lady, don't! ”

Wang's eyes were full of madness, and he rushed to Peng Dashu's side and waved his knife without hesitation.

Peng Dashu felt that Wang was bluffing, he had some friendship with those evil youths, and he was used to seeing those bluffing brave and ruthless, where would he be afraid of this, so he just smiled.

When he saw the madness in Wang's eyes, the kitchen knife also came.

Peng Dashu subconsciously lowered his head, and the kitchen knife swept over his head. He only felt a chill on the top of his head, and then a clump of long black hair fell.

I said!

Is this crazy woman really here?

"I'll hack you to death!" Wang raised his knife again.

Peng Dashu turned around and ran without hesitation, "Liu Jia, you are especially boasting about your suppleness like a lady and a cat in the market, and you are obedient to you, you ...... You lack great virtue! Help me! ”

The Wang family had already chased after him, Peng Dashu hurriedly ran wildly, and the two ran away one after the other.

The neighbors all looked at each other, and someone tentatively asked, "Is that ...... Wang's? ”

"yes!"

"In the past, there were women in the Liu family who were roaring......"

Everyone looked at the sluggish Liu Jia, and someone said, "What did Liu Jia say...... It's the maid who is manic and roaring, but it's not! ”

In the past, everyone often heard a woman in the Liu family yelling, and it was inevitable that they would be suspicious, but Liu Jia said that the maid was sick and crazy......

Now it seems that what kind of maid is crazy, it is clear that the Wang family is mad, and Liu Jia bows his head.

But this man bragged in the neighborhood and the market, saying that his wife was gentle and cat-like, calling the east not to the west. Now the truth is revealed......

"Isn't the person Liu Jia said about himself?"

"Yes! said that the east does not go west, the supple and cat-like, this is afraid of himself! ”

Liu Jia smiled bitterly, if it was in the past, he would definitely have to argue for himself, but now he is numb to everything in the world.

Later, the Wang family came back, and in the face of the surprised eyes of the neighbors, he said firmly: "Even if the Liu family can't survive, they won't sell the wine shop to such villains." ”

"But what about you and the child?" Liu Jia thought of his wife and children, and couldn't help but feel like a knife.

That's a broom star that even the emperor can kill, his own family, his grandfather's family have been killed, such a person, who would dare to pounce on him?

Wang said lightly: "If you are really beaten by the broom star, I will take the children to the market to cook for them, and feed the children in a dignified manner, and I will not embarrass you!" ”

The neighbors next to him couldn't help but be in awe when they heard this, and arched their hands: "What a fierce woman!" ”

Then there were rumors in the market, saying that Liu Jia had knocked down the broom star and was going to be unlucky. The news gradually spread, and Liu Jia couldn't help but be furious, not only worried that the money catcher would come to ask for debts in advance, but also worried that the business of the liquor store would deteriorate, and a few fire bubbles grew on the corners of his mouth overnight.

And at this time, Chang'an's commendation also reached the state office.

Xu Jingzong stood respectfully with Liao Quan and others, and an attendant was reading the prince's explanation.

“…… As soon as Xu Qing arrived in Huazhou, he solved the case, and I was quite happy. In the past, there were many speculations in the world, and as soon as this case came out, the rumors were self-defeating......"

This is to say: Lao Xu you have done this too beautifully, I can't be happy. You didn't talk much in the past, and everyone outside said that you were a traitor, and as soon as this case was solved, your reputation was better......

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but bow his hand gratefully and said: "The minister is loyal to His Royal Highness, and there is no second heart!" ”

This is the Tang Dynasty, it is rare for a courtier to be so loyal, but Xu Jingzong's expression is sincere, Liao Quan can't help nodding frequently, feeling that Lao Xu is pure loyalty, and there are no impurities, and he is worthy of being his own model. He remembered that his loyalty to the first emperor and the crown prince seemed to be very little! I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and felt that I had to learn from Lao Xu.

The chamberlain nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How about that broom star?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "Please tell Your Highness, the broom star just heard that it is fierce, but the old man has seen him several times, and he is very aura, the old man thinks, since he can't kill him, then why not treat him well?" Just take a look at it when the time comes. ”

The chamberlain understood as soon as he heard this, and said, "Also, it is better to be cautious in this matter." Xu envoy Jun high-minded. ”

If you don't dare to kill the broom star, why are you so nervous? Naturally, you will be unlucky, and you don't care if you don't deserve it.

"Huh!" Xu Jingzong saw that he was interested, and subconsciously wanted to give some benefits, but when he thought that his admirer Liao Quan was by his side, he couldn't get such a method, so he said with a righteous face: "It's rare for the messenger to come once, and the chef has some mutton over there, but you can eat it and go back." ”

The chamberlain couldn't help but be surprised, and glanced at Xu Jingzong seriously, feeling that he was afraid that he had seen the wrong person.

In the past, Lao Xu liked to give some benefits to those servants with heads and faces, and wanted them to say some good things to themselves in front of the first emperor. But now? He didn't even give it?

The chamberlain was puzzled, and after he left, Xu Jingzong said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are dealing with, you must abide by your duty, don't bribe to ask for benefits, let alone run for officials, that kind of people, the old man is disdainful!" ”

Liao Quan couldn't help but be moved, "Foreign officials like to give benefits to angels, and I want them to go back to Chang'an to help them speak, so that the monarch is awe-inspiring, and the lower officials can't help but be in awe!" ”

Lao Xu blinked his eyes, thinking that he was afraid that he had offended this servant, and he couldn't help but feel a little heartache. But seeing Liao Quan's reverent appearance, I couldn't help but feel dark in my heart.

However, this chamberlain was obviously not so stingy, and when he left later, he told Xu Jingzong about the situation in the capital, which made him overjoyed.

It's a success!

Lao Xu was in a happy mood, so he said: "The old man didn't say that he would go to the market when he came to Huazhou, and he would go tomorrow, and the old man asked you to wait for a drink." ”
