Chapter 1429: Disaster Comes from the Mouth
"Hey, have you heard, the emperor won a great victory, and the two countries were wiped out in a war......"
"I've heard it a long time ago, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and the gods descend to earth......"
"Don't say it, when I went to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha yesterday, even the abbot was saying that the emperor was a martial god who went down to the mortal world......"
"Cut, I said Lao Shen, you are pure nonsense, where did the martial god come from in the Buddha world?"
"Hehe, then I don't care, that's what I say anyway......"
Liu Xiaoyi picked up the cake stall, staggered out of the house, and walked unhurriedly to the street.
Because he is a foreigner who has fled, Liu Xiaoyi's capital is not much, and the house he rented is between the alleys of Quyuan Street, which is cheap.
Quyuan Street is located in the south gate of Kaifeng, with the east end of the Royal Street and the west side of the Yiqiu Gate.
If Li Zhongyi saw Liu Xiaoyi's cooking cakes, he would definitely smile and say, "Where is this baked cake?" It's clearly steamed steamed buns! ”
That's right, for three generations, Liu Xiaoyi's grandfather and father were both vendors selling cooking cakes.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, mice give birth to holes, and the cooking cakes made by Liu Xiaoyi are also a must!
"I said Xiao Yi, is it out of the stall again?" Lao Shen caught a glimpse of Liu Xiaoyi passing by with a burden, so he greeted him with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyi was not very happy to deal with Lao Shen, because Lao Shen had borrowed fifty yuan from him, but he had not returned it so far.
At that time, Lao Shen said very well, he only borrowed ten days, and he would pay it off when he arrived. Who would have thought that it has been more than ten days, and Lao Shen obviously has money in his pocket, but he doesn't pay it back.
Liu Xiaoyi knew that Lao Shen didn't pay back the money, but he still listened to his neighbor Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang is a professional matchmaker, walking the streets and alleys all day long, and she is very well-informed.
Lao Shen saw that Liu Xiaoyi didn't squeak, and he understood in his heart that the borrowed money had not been paid off, and Liu Xiaoyi was angry.
However, Liu Xiaoyi is a fleeing bankrupt household, and there is no hard backing behind him, and Lao Shen did not plan to return it when he borrowed it.
At this moment, Lao Shen simply put his heart sideways, and he didn't pay back the money, what?
If business was bad in previous years, even if Liu Xiaoyi tore his face, he would have to chase Lao Shen to collect debts.
However, since the current emperor ascended the throne, Liu Xiaoyi's cooking cake business has been getting better and better day by day, earning at least half a cent of money every day. It's just fifty dollars, and Liu Xiaoyi doesn't plan to ask for it, just feed it to the dog.
However, the more Liu Xiaoyi didn't want to deal with Lao Shen, the more Lao Shen wanted to talk to him.
"Xiao Yi, in a few days, when I make a fortune, you won't sell cooking cakes, you can do it with me." Lao Shen has always liked to brag, and Liu Xiaoyi can't take it seriously at all.
Liu Xiaoyi was stupid, but he understood in his heart that Lao Shen actually deliberately used this to gag his mouth and make him embarrassed to collect debts.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyi hadn't paid attention to him, Lao Shen knew that he was at a loss, but he still chattered: "Don't believe it, I'm really going to get rich, the day before yesterday, Zhang Dayuan looked for me and asked me to do something big, and after the thing is done, there will be a lot of thanks." Oh, this is a deposit, fifty taels! Fifty taels, not five taels......"
Liu Xiaoyi saw the silver of the white flowers, and his heart suddenly became angry, so he simply put down the cake stall, stretched out his hand, and said coldly: "You are so rich, you should give me the fifty yuan, right?" ”
Anyone's money is not from the waves, it is all earned by hard work and sweat, and it is not easy for anyone!
"Oh, who of the two of us is with whom, it's too hurtful and angry to talk about money, and you can do it with me when you turn around!" Lao Shen has always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, Liu Xiaoyi happens to be a coward, if he doesn't bully him, who will he bully?
Liu Xiaoyi clenched his fists, and wanted to smash his fist into Lao Shen's donkey face, and let out his evil anger fiercely. However, although Lao Shen himself is useless, his own sister is the favorite concubine outside of Zhang Dayuan.
In addition to Zhang Dayuan, he is a well-known gentleman in Nancheng, not only has a lot of money, but also has some official connections, Liu Xiaoyi will definitely not be able to provoke him.
Lao Shen also saw Liu Xiaoyi's unconvinced, but he had nothing to fear, wasn't he just a fleeing bankrupt household, who would stand up for him in this Kaifeng City?
However, just when Liu Xiaoyi hesitated, someone was behind Lao Shen and said coldly: "What kind of big deal can be worth a deposit of fifty taels?" ”
Lao Shen turned his head to look, but saw that it was two young men dressed as fishermen, staring at him fiercely.
"What a big deal? You two deserve to know? Lao Shen was a little weak-hearted, but he wasn't worried about what the two fishermen could turn out.
"Hehe, if that's the case, then come with us." The tall fisherman on the left took out a waist tag from his bosom and said with a smile, "Ti Caisi knows, right?" Please. ”
As soon as Lao Shen heard the three words of Ti Qisi, his face suddenly turned pale with fright, he didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and wanted to run.
However, Liu Xiaoyi was lying behind him, blocking his way. This honest man is bullied hard, and he will flip the table!
The people of the Ti Cavalry Division not only took away Lao Shen, but also Liu Xiaoyi, and also included a few idle and bored spectators who chatted and bragged.
When Lao Shen was pushed into the room, Zuo Ziguang didn't even raise his eyelids, and continued to drink tea comfortably.
The tea was rewarded by the queen mother in the palace, saying that it was to comfort Zuo Ziguang's hard work. Not to mention, the tea appreciated in the palace tastes authentic, and it is at least ten streets better than the tea that Zuo Ziguang bought from the market.
"My time is precious, and I don't like to talk nonsense, so let's say, who gave you a deposit of fifty taels of silver?" As soon as Zuo Ziguang heard the news at that time, he immediately realized that his subordinates were probably catching a big fish.
Lao Shen obviously can't be that big fish, but as long as Lao Shen's mouth is pried open, how many days can that big fish be able to jump?
Old Shen didn't want to tell the truth, but Zuo Ziguang didn't have the heart to grind his teeth with him, so he ordered: "Take it down, ask carefully, don't kill it." ”
Lao Shen was obviously very scared, but he still didn't dare to confess, because he knew very well in his heart that it was a capital crime to lose his head!
What is the Timatis? Some people may not know it very well, but those who know the inside story are afraid of it, and even talk about it!
In less than half an hour, Zuo Ziguang got Lao Shen's confession, he gently shook the piece of paper in his hand, and sneered: "These people who are scholars, they can't govern the country and care for the people, and they can't carry knives and guns, except for dragging the back legs of the court, they are useless!" ”
Zuo Ziguang put down the piece of paper in his hand, wrote hard, and wrote a secret letter with a password in a small effort.
"Someone, eight hundred miles expedited, sent to the emperor." Zuo Ziguang called the command of his henchmen in a loud voice and ordered him to go out in person and go to see Li Zhongyi with a secret letter.
