Episode 7: The Disaster of Prison, Joy 3
Joey took Qiao Bier around in a circle, entered the teahouse opposite the county government, the two sat in the corner, Joey ate tea for a while, and couldn't let go of it in her heart, and asked Bier, "You said that the hostess of this teahouse can really help us do it?" ”
Qiao Bi'er looked around with her eyes and said in a low voice: "Miss, it's better not to stay here, if that woman sees her, she can't say what kind of tricks she will have to think about." ”
Joey smiled and said: "It's just a little more silver, although we can't compare to the big dogs, it's enough to make some silver get a favor, I'll go back first, you go and see if there is a way, it's best to meet each other." ”
Qiao Bier answered, in order to avoid people's eyes, she never got up to see off Joey, but let Joey leave by herself.
But it was said that the second tiger had quietly entered the house since Joey's master and servant left, and after waiting for nearly an hour, he didn't see Lord Zhou come out, and he couldn't help but be anxious, and he had the heart to find someone to report, and it was not a glorious matter, and after waiting for a while, it was expected that Lord Zhou was tripped by a little wave of hooves, and he couldn't get out, so he had to go back to the teahouse to discuss with his sister-in-law again.
It just so happened that this mother-in-law accepted Qiao Bier's silver and promised to pull the strings for her, and when the two of them met and raised the words, they secretly screamed that it was dangerous, so they made up their minds and prepared to meet Lord Zhou tomorrow and talk to him.
Another day passed, and I didn't see Lord Zhou out of the house, the two tigers were anxious, and went straight to the teahouse, and the woman saw it and said, "I met a ghost"! Raised the curtain and called Jiang Laosan in, and instructed: "Lord Zhou has come to sit in the past, but I haven't seen him for a few days, isn't it sick?" You don't have any thoughts as a subordinate, I made some caviar soup, and you take it to report to the door, which can be regarded as your heart. ”
When Jiang Laosan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said: "No one else has ever passed, if I go, I am afraid that I will be gossiped about something, and then I will be told something like climbing and slipping." ”
Aunt Jiang Lao was angry, and said: "If you don't have any interest, others don't dredge it, it's strange that adults can look down on him, you don't cling to it, you don't slip your beard, where did this teahouse come from?" Count on you, my mother and daughter won't starve to death! Hurry up and go to visit, which grandson can you see your ancestors? ”
Jiang Laosan muttered: "What descendants are ancestors, Lord Zhou is my father, how did he become an ancestor again?" ”
The mother-in-law laughed and said, "Good girl, go quickly, your thirteen aunts have prepared honey to feed you, so you are not ashamed." ”
Jiang Laosan scratched his buttocks, turned around and left.
The mother-in-law snorted hatefully, "Why did you find this nest and blind the old lady's bright red plum!" ”
Erhu listened to him arguing on the side, and secretly thought in his heart, "This Jiang Laosan is really a muddy one, this sister-in-law, we also have a share, and I have made a brother-in-law with Lord Zhou for nothing!" ”
The mother-in-law sat back on the chair, glanced at Erhu and said, "Brother Erhu, don't want to learn from that nest of waste, let me look down on three points in vain." ”
Erhu said: "What did my sister-in-law order, what did I not do?" ”
The woman said, "You are also a lovely person." ”
Not to mention how these two people did anything big in the inner hall, Jiang Laosan carried the food box and entered the door, the porter took it and entered the inner house, and Jiang Laosan waited outside alone.
A girl from the thirteenth aunt came in to report that Jiang Laosan had sent soup and asked, "I haven't been out and around recently, and my body is still healthy"?
Zhou Xin was stunned when he heard this, "Why did this Jiang Laosan come?" Then I thought that maybe that girl couldn't bear the loneliness, and came to me to play a code word! Immediately walked out of the thirteenth aunt's room, opened the food box and looked at it, in addition to the soup, there was also a piece of silver that was missing a corner.
"Lack of silver, lack of silver, lack of people, lack of people! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! What a clever idea! Zhou Xin was happy, handed the food box to the girl, and rewarded her with the silver, pouting and looking: "Yu'er is fifteen this year?" ”
"Back to my lord, I'm fourteen this year."
"Fourteen? It's not small, and it's time to find a home. Zhou Xin mentioned this mouth without a beginning or end, and left with a smile.
This girl can't think of the meaning of Lord Zhou's words, and she doesn't think about it so much, a girl like her is in charge of her aunt, so she thinks about it, and she has no place to go, so it's better not to think about it, and save this thought.
Zhou Xin came out of the door, saw Jiang Laosan standing motionless at the side door, and smiled: "Jiang San'er, come." ”
Jiang Laosan heard someone calling him, and when he saw that it was Lord Zhou waving to him, he hurriedly trotted over, lowered his head and said, "How are you doing lately?" didn't come out for a few days, and the villain was really panicked, hoping that the master would forgive his sins. ”
Zhou Xin said: "You have a heart, alas, what is this to do, it just so happens that the master has an errand to explain to you, you first run for me to go to the Fei family in the west of the city, and then explain to Uncle Fei, the matter is done for him, what is the benefit...... Ask him what he means, and you will only reveal to him, dead and alive, two prices! ”
Jiang Laosan answered, raised his feet and came to Fei's house in the west of the city.
Uncle Fei heard that someone was coming from the county government, so he hurriedly invited someone and asked the housekeeper to accompany him.
The housekeeper asked Jiang Laosan and said, "The master is here, there must be something important, just say it, the villain must listen to it." ”
The butler waved his hand, and the servant came in, dragging two ingots of silver in his hand and placing them in front of Jiang Laosan's table.
The housekeeper said humbly: "Please use tea." ”
Jiang Laosan looked at the table, where could there be tea except for Yinliang? With a move in his heart, he swept the silver on the table into his sleeve and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I came today to convey the meaning of your lordship." ”
When the butler heard this, he put down the tea bowl in his hand, bowed respectfully to the north, and asked, "I don't know what the lord commands?" ”
Jiang Laosan said: "The master said that the matter of your Uncle Fei is over, and he asked whether he was going to die or live." ”
The housekeeper said: "Our lord only wants him to die!" ”
Jiang Laosan frowned, and said: "If you want to die or live, there is always a gap, you finish counting, I will return to our master." ”
The housekeeper's heart jumped and said, "This is what Lord Zhou meant?" ”
Jiang Laosan said: "Yes, our lord is angry for you this time, half a benefit is not not said, and he is pointed at behind his back, this loss should always be compensated by someone, it is comfortable, the Meng family kid is just a ranger, he is very down, and he can't get out of two taels of oil and water when he fries in the pot, I think it still has to fall on Uncle Fei's body." Don't send our master too much, maybe there will be another deal in the future, don't hurt your face. ”
The housekeeper said: "What the master said is that hundreds of thousands of dollars can be spent, how can you care about these, yes, I went to ask the master, you renew a cup of tea first, and I will go back." ”
Jiang Laosan thought that he still had money to take, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with golden light, just waiting for the servant to come in, and really sent a cup of tea, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for not being greedy enough!
The housekeeper went in to report back to Uncle Fei, but Uncle Fei was also stunned and asked, "Is there still two prices for life or death?" ”
The housekeeper said: "The official word has two mouths, how to say it has his reasons, the front translation said that Meng Fei was strong in martial arts, moved the army, and coaxed us to go with 250,000 or 60,000 silver, and now he has been arrested, if we don't follow him, I'm afraid that this person just went in with the front foot, and the back foot will be released, and then we will suffer from the enemy on our backs!" ”
Uncle Fei stomped his feet and said, "It's all your bad idea!" I'm afraid this gluttony is waiting for my meal! ”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, I also persuaded my lord to endure this breath, but you are also temperamental, unforgiving, the villain is finally a person who can't see the hardships of the master, thinking about spending a few dollars, so that the master is happy, who would have thought that this Zhou Xin really didn't want to be faceless, and repeatedly pressed people with power, which is really hateful!" ”
Uncle Fei sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, just follow him." ”
The housekeeper said, "Then I don't know if the master is going to die or live?" ”
Uncle Fei asked, "What do you say about death?" What about living? ”
The housekeeper pondered for a moment and said: "It's easy to die, but it's hard to live, I'm afraid the price of living is higher!" ”
Uncle Fei sighed helplessly: "Then let's die." ”
The housekeeper answered and reported back to Jiang Laosan, who got the word and hurriedly said goodbye and went back.
Jiang Laosan went back to the county government and reported to the door, and the porter replied, "The master has not returned since he went out", Jiang Laosan saw that he was not the leader, so he went back to the teahouse first, thinking about coming to listen later. The front foot entered the teahouse, and the figures of Joey and Qiao Bier appeared outside the teahouse.
"Are you sure?"
"Said there was a door, tell us to hurry over and talk back."
"Let's go, let's go up."
But he said that Jiang Laosan went into the inner room to return to his mother-in-law, but he didn't see his mother-in-law, and looked at the backyard, only to see Lord Zhou sitting upright in the backyard, and his mother-in-law was serving on the side, so he walked downstairs and went straight to the backyard.
"My lord, Jiang San'er is back, waiting for the adult to ask."
Zhou Xin touched his beard and said, "Come on, it just so happens that the master has been sitting for a long time, so he will leave after listening to the reply." ”
Jiang Laosan walked over and said, "My lord, Uncle Fei said he was going to die." ”
Zhou Xin sighed lightly and said: "This Uncle Fei's heart is really ruthless, well, if you want to die, you will die, 100,000 if you are alive, and if you die, you will set a 150,000 yuan, and ensure that the work is done cleanly, you go and talk back, as soon as the silver arrives, the master will use the knife." ”
Jiang Laosan secretly smashed his mouth, and it cost 150,000 taels to kill a person? The life of the second child of the Meng family is really valuable! If this can divide him 10,000, no, 1,000 taels, he will be willing to do it, it's a pity!
pinched his thigh, Jiang Laosan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was afraid that if he thought about it again, he would easily take a knife and go straight to the prison to kill Meng Fei, but think about it, he was not Meng Fei's opponent, and think about it, or not, poison? Shaking his head, he drove these unrealistic ideas out of his mind, and hurriedly went to the Fei family again.
When he went out, he was bumping into Joey's master and servant who came in, Joey called Jiang Laosan, Jiang Laosan was thinking about something, he didn't hear it, and the angry Joey wanted to kick him, if he didn't ask for them, he wouldn't look good!
Joey endured this, and Qiao Bier on the side paid attention, "It's time to pass the eyes and go back to trouble them!" ”
Being remembered by Qiao Bier will definitely not be a good thing! Qiao Bier led Joey to the backyard, and saw the people around the woman from a distance, just as soon as she was back, Joey recognized the person, and the county lord who only wore an official hat and did not wear an official uniform when he went out, I am afraid that there is only this one! At that moment, he stepped forward and said: "The daughter of the Qiao family in Anhui County, meet the county lord." ”
Zhou Xin turned around and took a look, and when he saw this Joey's face, he was stunned, and said inexplicably: "It's really like"!
