Episode 7: The Disaster of Prison, Rescue Lang Joey Leads 4
Joey saw Zhou Xin, but unexpectedly Zhou Xin said, "It's really like"! What does that mean? Like what? Or am I like someone?
"What did you say? Like whom? β
As soon as Joey spoke, Zhou Xin immediately came back to his senses and immediately said, "It's nothing, what's your name?" β
Joey saluted again and said, "Little girl Joey." β
"Joey, well, good name, hehe, hehe......"
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, Jiang Laosan's mother-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "The tea is already cold, I'll make another pot." He turned around and walked out with the teapot and pouted Joey.
Joey understood, stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhou, the people's daughter came this time to ask for something, and I also ask the adults to raise their noble hands and help the people's girls once." β
"Oh?" As soon as Zhou Xin heard that he had something to ask him, his attitude immediately changed, and he said: "I went out today in a private capacity, even if I answer you something, I can't take it seriously, you should just say a joke, just listen to it." β
Joey said: "My lord, Meng Zhao was arrested a few days ago, most of this is the credit of adults, but this Meng Zhao is really a character who can't be on the stage, if no one rescues him, he will definitely die in prison, wasting that good skin in vain." β
"What do you mean by that? Is it to peel off his face and make a mask? It's up to you to come up with such a vicious idea! β
"My lord! The little woman didn't dare to kill a chicken, where did she dare to have such an idea? It's just that the little woman loved him and couldn't bear to give him his life like this, so she came to ask the adults for mercy and let Meng Zhao go. β
Zhou Xin listened to it and said, "You woman doesn't know anything, what does my county government do?" Does that mean you can put it away? Besides, this Meng Zhao is against the law, if he is not dealt with and released, how can he explain to the people who have been harmed? β
"Adults don't have to deceive me, although the little woman doesn't know what officialdom is, she also knows the elegance of adults, but the little woman is a broken household in Anhui County, and there is not much silver to pay homage, only a set of Zhuang courtyards in the west of the city is quite chic, how about giving it to adults to make individual courtyards?"
Joey took out the title deed and handed it to Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin looked at Joey, smiled coldly, took the title deed and looked at it, "Isn't this the Lihua Garden?" I should be a dignitary who has been blessed with such a faΓ§ade! β
This Lihua Garden is an ordinary house in the west of the city, if you say okay, that is, it covers a larger area, but just a few years ago, this house changed the norm, and suddenly became stylish, and magnificent, I heard that it was a change of owner, this courtyard is really a row, otherwise I don't dare to call Lihua Garden!
Although Zhou Xin was tempted by this house, it could be converted into silver but there was not much, so he calmed down and said, "I have a heart, but I am a step late." β
Joey raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did the adults say that it would be a step too late?" Could it be that the adults have already found other houses? Adult, it's not a little woman boasting, the pattern and design like Lihuayuan are absolutely second to none in Xunyang, even the emperor's relatives are rushing to get it! β
Zhou Xin bit his tongue carelessly, his face was bitter, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he had to endure it, why did this girl mention that grandson if she had nothing to do? almost scared Zhou Xin to death! Said hatefully: "It's not that the master has found a new place to live, but someone has given the master 150,000 taels of silver first, as long as Meng Zhao dies, although your mansion is good, it is just an ordinary plaything." β
"What? Is there such a thing? What adults won't say is Uncle Fei's two-five eyes, right? β
Zhou Xin said: "Ming people don't say secret words, it's this big dog, there is so much silver that he can't spend it, please spend it for him, because of the feelings, the master is not good for his good intentions, isn't it?" β
Listening to Zhou Xin's words, Joey smiled reluctantly and said: "This gift is given out, and there is no reason to take it back, and I hope that the adults will work around, so that the little woman can spend more time with Meng Zhao for a few more days, and I will live up to this affection." β
"It's also a woman who dares to love and hate, so it's set a three-day period, and after three days, the lord will give an order to cut people!"
Joey came out of the teahouse gloomily, Qiao Bier helped her, and walked towards the east of the city step by step, Joey suddenly laughed as she walked.
Qiao Bi'er asked puzzledly, "Miss, why are you smiling?" β
Joy sighed and said, "I laughed at my hard life, and I found a good husband so easily, and I lost it like this." β
Qiao Bier said: "Then why are you laughing? β
Joey laughed and said, "How do you know I'm not crying?" β
Qiao Bi'er felt sorry for Miss and said: "Miss, there are still three days of hard work, and it may not be necessary to really cut off the head, why not go back to Anhui County, beg the master, let the master find a relationship, ask for a way, maybe the master can save Meng Gongzi's life?" β
Joey stopped violently and said: "Daddy and Lord Lu are the most intimate, there is an ancient saying that "officials protect each other", I don't know if the spirit is not spiritual, I can only give up my face and ask for it!" β
"Miss is planning to go back to Anhui County?"
Joey nodded and said, "Yes, even if there are thousands of dangers and difficulties, I have to give it a try!" β
"Then I'll accompany Miss back."
"No, Bi'er, you stay, pay attention to Lord Zhou's movements, you must protect Meng Zhao in the past three days, and wait for me to come back!"
"Miss go back by herself, I'm afraid of ......"
Joey interrupted Qiao Bier's words and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll just bring two guards. β
Joey went back to the jewelry store, and after a little tidying up, he asked people to lead three fast horses, wanting to enter Anhui County today.
The sun is in the west, and the gate of Anhui County is about to close, and I don't want the smoke and dust to fly outside the south of the city, and someone shouted: "Those who stay with me will be rewarded with fifty silver!" β
When the soldiers defending the city heard that they had fifty taels of silver, they all rushed to pile up by the city gate, pulling the city gate to prevent people from closing it.
In a short time, three fast horses rushed in, and Herod's stopped at the gates.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that it was the eldest lady of the Qiao family! This fifty taels of silver can't be run!
Joey stopped his horse and said, "You two stay, cash in the bounty and go home on your own." β
Then he didn't care about everyone, and went straight to his house, and when he arrived at the door, the porter saw it and hurried over to greet him.
Joey dismounted, trembled on his legs, and fell to the ground with a shake of his body.
The porter was a clever man, and quickly turned his back and bent down, leaned against Joey, and then shouted, and brought out two or three people, and seeing that they were all men, he hurriedly went to the inner house to report that the young lady was back!
After a while, more than a dozen girls came out and helped Joey into Qiao's mansion.
When Joey's mother saw this, she said distressedly, "My son, why did he suffer such a sin? "Keep groping with Joey.
Joey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother don't cry, I have something urgent to see my father." β
Qiao's mother said: "What can't you say tomorrow?" Rest for a while today, and let your father come to you tomorrow. β
Joey broke free of the girl's aunt's arm and said loudly: "I said that it was an urgent matter, why are you so unreasonable, waiting for tomorrow, won't it be bad for me?" Just tell me, where is my father? β
Qiao's mother cried and said: "You child, my mother also saw that you were suffering, and she was reluctant, so how could she sprinkle her anger on her mother?" β
Joey snorted and said, "If you don't say it, I'll look for it." β
Qiao's mother said: "Don't break in, your father went to the county government and hasn't come back yet, I think Master Lu left him to eat and drink again." β
Joey turned around and said, "Prepare the horse and go to the county government." β
Qiao's mother was anxious, and stepped forward to stop her: "Why don't you kid listen to my advice?" Women should be in the inner house to give birth to a little more, how can you learn that men always show their heads, and it is getting late, you hit the street on the horse, isn't it a violation of the ban, and you deliberately embarrass Lord Lu? β
Joey said disdainfully: "Who said that women can't show their heads?" They are all at home like you, and they can only live by characters like my father! β
Qiao's mother wanted to say more, Qiao Yi snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to tell me the truth, you guard your man, I guard my man, our well water does not interfere with river water, you don't always do this and that, long-winded people are upset." With that, the man walked out.
Qiao's mother cried and patted her legs, and said, "Evil obstacles, evil obstacles!" It's just that her daughter is older, and she can't control it, but Joey's father is also weak, and he is even more pinched by this daughter.
But said that Joey returned to Anhui County as if he was returning to his own home, he couldn't ride a horse, and he let the little guy lead the way, and if he ran slowly, it was a whip, in Anhui County, Joey didn't have to be careful everywhere, beware of this, afraid of that, and rushed all the way into the county government.
got off the horse, grabbed a girl and asked, "My father is here?" β
The girl raised her face and saw that it was Miss Qiao, and hurriedly responded: "Master Qiao is drinking with adults in the back hall." β
Joey asked again, "Do you have a companion?" β
"Slaves and maids don't know how to be affectionate."
"Go down!" Joey drank the little girl away and walked straight to the back hall, the doorman didn't dare to stop him, and hurriedly wanted to report it, but Joey twisted his ear and kicked him aside.
Joey leaned over and listened outside for a long time, only intermittently listening to things that were not important, and then laughed coquettishly outside, and said, "Uncle Lu is so partial, he actually took advantage of my absence to have a drink with my father, and he didn't say that he would invite me to eat a bowl too." β
There was a sound in the door, and then someone trotted out and opened the door, saying, "Oh, my little ancestor, you are back!" β
Seeing that his face was not good-looking, Joey snorted coldly, pushed the door open, and when he saw the county Zun Lu Wei, he immediately changed his smile, Yingying stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Uncle Lu, why am I not happy to come back?" I'm still drinking here with a wine glass. β
"Why did my niece provoke me? A few days ago, I sent people to urge me several times, but I didn't see my niece turn around, and now I am complaining. Lu Wei stood up, he was very tall, even if he had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he was as tall as a young man, and there was a scholarly atmosphere between his body shaking, if it weren't for a big mole on the side of his cheek that looked strange, there really was some Confucian style in it, but it was a pity that this person was greedy and stingy, and the most timid and afraid of things.
"Aren't I coming back, and my father and father have no one to accompany you, and it's no fun to serve, so it's better for me to pour wine for the two of you, and it's half a master."
Lu Wei smiled and said, "How dare you bother your niece?" Sit down together, when will I not see you, Uncle really misses you, tell Uncle about what major things you are busy in Xunyang, and you are stumped? β
When Joey heard this, he cried out loud, Lu Wei was puzzled with Qiao's father, and hurriedly supported and comforted him, Lu Wei comforted Joey and said, "Which one bullied my niece?" See if I don't cut off his head and get angry for you! β
Joey choked up and said, "I'm afraid that this person can't afford to provoke him even if he is an uncle." β
Lu Wei said angrily: "I can't provoke anyone, you just have to tell me, and Uncle will make the decision for you!" β
Joey opened his mouth and said a name, but Lu Wei listened and sat down on the ground.
"How could it be him?"
