Chapter 624: Settle in
Soon after lunch, Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to say goodbye to the Zhou Governor's Mansion and went out of the Yamen of the Shuntian Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although he is still on vacation, Zhou Hou Jieke is still working, so he can't affect his normal office.
Zhu Ping'an still has this look.
Out of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Ping'an went straight to the restaurant that had been set before, and happened to meet Liu Mu and Liu Dadao who came out of the bill, and the catchers except Zhang Zhutou also happened to go out.
"Thank you Lord Zhu for your hospitality, I will be on duty in the afternoon to guard the government office, so I will leave first."
The catchers of Shuntian Mansion still had official business in the afternoon, and after thanking Zhu Ping'an, they took their leave and returned to the Yamen.
"Childe, your money bag."
After the arrest of Shuntianfu left, Liu Mu returned the money bag that Zhu Ping'an had given him to pay the bill.
"Huh?" After Zhu Ping'an took the money bag, he felt that the weight of the money bag was not lighter than before, but it became heavier, and after opening it with his hand, he found that the money in the money bag was six or seven taels more silver, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Mu and the others with some doubts and asked, "What's going on?" ā
"Childe, you really said it, you asked me to pick up a few pairs of broken shoes from the beggar gang, and deliberately shined in front of Zhao Daying's bastard according to your instructions, and he was really targeted, and one of his stewards quietly followed me all the way to the pawn shop, and I didn't find out, and I didn't want to think that I had been hunting in the mountains since I was a child. If I hadn't deliberately slowed down on the way, my grandson wouldn't have lost it a few times. Before Liu Mu could speak, Liu Dadao hugged a burden, walked up to Zhu Ping'an excitedly, and said with a gesture.
Liu Dadao and their village make a living from hunting, and they can't do it anymore for stalking, anti-tracking, etc., and the first time the steward of the Zhao Mansion sneaked down from the door, Liu Dadao had already noticed it. The tracking methods of the Zhao Mansion steward were too amateurish, and they were too far behind the methods and methods they used to stalk their prey in the mountains.
However, everything was expected, Zhu Ping'an had arranged in advance for various situations, and Liu Dadao deliberately cooperated to slow down the pace, otherwise the ten Zhao Mansion stewards would have been lost.
"Hmm." Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded, looking at Liu Dadao's excitement, needless to say, he knew that things must be going well.
"Childe, didn't you see it, the grandson followed me to the pawnshop, hehehe, the pawnshop shopkeeper is knowledgeable, and suddenly I saw that the bag of shoes was penniless, and the grandson of Zhao Mansion was like a baby, looking at the bag of broken shoes, his eyes were straight. He thought it was the shoes. Childe, do you know how many of the shoes were sold? Liu Dadao sold a pass, and asked with his burden.
The burden in Liu Dadao's hand is the eight pairs of green cloth boots.
"Hmmm......"
Zhu Ping'an was about to say a number, but Liu Dadao couldn't help but get out of the whole way, and Zhu Ping'an didn't have to guess at all.
"Hehehe, when the son said that this bag of shoes could be exchanged for a reception banquet, I didn't believe it. At that time, the grandson said that he wanted to buy this bag of shoes, and I casually said ten taels of silver, but I didn't expect the grandson to grit his teeth and respond, a full ten taels of silver. Today, we and Liu Tou in the yamen ordered chicken, duck and fish in the restaurant, and we also asked for two jars of wine, and there were still more than six taels of silver left in exchange for shoes. Liu Dadao said excitedly.
"Well, this is also to collect some interest with the surname Zhao, and then settle the account with him." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"That is, when the steward returns to Zhao's mansion, Zhao Daying's grandson must have a green face when he sees the bag of stinky shoes......" Liu Dadao thought of that scene, and his heart was full of evil.
Then he handed the money bag back to Liu Mu, "You can use this money first, and then tell me if it's not enough." ā
"Childe, we don't need it, you still have what you gave last time." Liu Mu returned the money bag and shook his head vigorously one by one, "Childe was kind last time, we haven't changed the newspaper yet, this time Childe has served justice for our village, we can't repay this kindness if we treat you as a cow or a horse, how can we still collect Childe's money." ā
I repaid the favor again, and the ancients were really simple.
"Take it, the consumption in the capital is not higher than other places, here." Zhu Ping'an smiled and handed the money bag to Liu Mu again, "A steamed bun here is two or three times more expensive than our countryside." ā
Liu Mu and the others still shook their heads.
Zhu Ping'an thought about it, counted out seven taels of silver from the money bag and handed them to Liu Mu and Liu Dadao, "These taels of silver are all interest collected in advance with the surname Zhao, this is what he owes to your village, you take these." ā
Liu Mu still shook his head, saying that the money was obtained at the behest of Zhu Ping'an.
"If I take this money, what is the difference between it and those corrupt officials who loot the people's fat and ointment?" Zhu Ping'an insisted, "You take it, celebrate the New Year's holiday, and burn more paper money for the fathers and villagers in our village." ā
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to accept it.
Next, Zhu Ping'an led Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the six of them towards the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, preparing to temporarily place them in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
On the one hand, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao are still guilty, Lu Yin and his identity have some problems, it is inconvenient to live in a hotel or something outside, it is an extraordinary time, or don't make extraneous branches; On the other hand, when the Criminal Department presented its case, Liu Mu and they were still important witnesses, if Zhao Daying knew, maybe this guy used some disgraceful means to sweep away the threat, in the Linhuai Hou Mansion, the safety factor is much higher, and the security of the Linhuai Hou Mansion is still reliable; In addition, Liu Mu twisted his neck to repay the favor, and if they were arranged to other places, they probably wouldn't agree.
When he arrived at the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, Zhu Ping'an said to the porter, and asked the porter to take Liu Mu to settle them in the front yard guest room first, and then go to the backyard to tell the old lady.
"Uncle, leave it to me, you can rest assured."
Zhu Ping'an is the fifth aunt of the Linhuai Hou Mansion, and he is also the champion of the current dynasty and the sixth rank of Hanlin, and the old lady has explained to the Hou Mansion, so the porter directly took Liu Mu and them to the guest room in the front yard to settle them down.
After Zhu Ping'an explained, he walked through the front yard, entered the backyard through the hanging flower gate, and walked towards the courtyard where the old lady of Linhuai was located.
"Uncle Wan'an." When the girl and the old mother in the old lady's courtyard saw Zhu Ping'an, they all bowed their knees and said hello.
"Hello." Zhu Ping'an nodded, and then asked, "Grandmother, will you be free?" ā
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Ping'an arched his hand and said, "The trouble is spread, and Ping'an has something to ask to see his grandmother." ā
"Giggle...... It's really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, just now the ancestor was still talking about his uncle, and his uncle is coming. A jade hand stretched out in the main room to lift the door curtain, and the big girl Zijuan in a pink skirt giggled and walked out, inviting Zhu Ping'an into the house.
After entering the inner room, Zhu Ping'an first greeted the old lady of Linhuaihou, and after greeting him, he got to the point, and told the old lady about settling Liu Dadao and them, Zhu Ping'an did not say Liu Dadao's identity when he said it, but vaguely said that he had helped them, and today they saved themselves again.
Liu Mu and Liu Dadao, the fewer people who know their identities, the better.
In the old lady's opinion, this is a trivial matter, so she nodded after a few simple questions, and asked Zijuan to instruct the housekeeper to settle Liu Mu and Liu Dadao according to the identity of the nursing home in the house, and the treatment will be distributed according to the nursing home in the mansion first.
