Chapter 43: It's All Pigs

Just when Cao Xiu was invited to tea by Zhang Zhutou, at the same time, there was a different kind of excitement in the Weicaotang on the main street of Liyuan.

The new pharmacy has only been open for a few days, and Cao Xiu didn't do any publicity, so naturally no one cared about it at first, but when something happened, people from all over the world surrounded him

The neighbors next to it, the shopkeepers who have been pitted or not pitted by Lei Heng, and the passers-by, and the bastards who are doing good things are also there, the Qingsha Gang was troubled by Zhang Hu last time, and when they got the news at this time, they ran over to watch the play happily.

The plaque of Wei Caotang was made by Cao Xiu a few days ago when he asked the secret agent Yang Xin to help find someone, and at this time there were two county officials standing under the door plaque, and the two were guarding the door, which was left by Zhang Zhutou to monitor Cao Yingying and Song Caiwei.

The shopkeeper was arrested, which is a big deal, but in normal times, whether it is a family member or a buddy, there are really not many people who can sit still.

But while everyone was sighing or discussing with cheers, the scene in the pharmacy was different.

Song Caiwei stood at the counter wearing a white veil, fiddling with abacus beads in one hand and a brush in the other, and an account book was placed on the table, as she seemed to calculate the income and expenses of the shop in the past few days.

Under the veil, there was no expression to be seen, but there was no trace of panic and nervousness in those smart dark eyes.

Cao Yingying, dressed in green, sat on a bench not far from the counter for patients to wait, playing with a tender green willow branch with both hands, and a pair of embroidered shoes swaying back and forth under the stool, looking very comfortable and relaxed.

The man Zhang Hu moved the medicinal herbs drying in the yard to the pharmacy, and then put them in bamboo baskets with another partner, Wu Chang, and waited for the government to inspect them.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and it seems that these people in the shop are not affected by the turmoil at all.

Someone who couldn't help but be curious asked Cao Yingying through the door: "Hey, that girl, your men have been arrested, why don't you react?" ”

"He's not my man!"

Cao Yingying's happy face just now immediately pulled down, her eyes turned red, and she was about to cry, and shouted very aggrievedly: "He is my younger brother!" ”

This sentence seems to want to set Cao Xiu's position in his heart, his younger brother is his younger brother, how can he think in that direction.

Song Caiwei at the counter saw that the situation was not good, so she immediately walked out, patted Cao Yingying's shoulder to appease her, and then walked to the door and said to the man: "This aunt, please pay attention to what you say." ”

"Hmm, I'm really sorry......" The aunt knew that she had lost her words, and immediately covered her mouth and stopped talking.

Song Caiwei saw that this was not a solution, she raised her head and glanced at everyone outside the house, and then explained, generally speaking, it is right and wrong, and there is a public opinion, please don't watch the excitement anymore, go your own way.

Many people saw that Song Caiwei was calm and polite when she spoke, so they all felt a little embarrassed, except for the Qingsha Gang, one by one.

At this moment, a servant squeezed through the crowd outside the door and walked in, and said to Song Caiwei: "Our Zhang Zhutou invites the white girl to come to the yamen." ”

The official thought that Song Caiwei would ask a few words, but she didn't want to, she agreed directly, which surprised him a little, but what was even more surprising was that Song Caiwei listened to the words and went directly to the counter to bring out a burden

"No, no, Zhang Zhutou said that as long as the white girl."

The official wondered in his heart, why did the four guys in front of him not have a trace of fear on their faces, but they were still a little excited, as if they were about to go home.

"Our shopkeeper said that the most important thing for a family is to be neat, and since the white girl is gone, I have to go."

It was Zhang Hu who spoke, and as he spoke, he pointed to a dozen boxes on the ground and said, "The medicines bought from the Lei Mansion are all placed there, and a few poor brothers can check them at any time if they want to." ”

"I, I, but ......"

The official touched his head and found that it was actually okay for everyone to go to the pharmacy, saving him from running around and summoning again.

just saw the burden on Song Caiwei's shoulders, and asked strangely, "White girl, what are you doing with the burden?" ”

Song Caiwei said: "There are some important physical evidences in it, I think Zhang Zhutou will be interested in him." ”

In fact, in the baggage is Cao Xiu's official robe, as well as the identity of the five people.

Didn't Zhang Zhutou come to see Song Caiwei a few days ago, and wanted to know who she was.

Cao Xiu, how could they not know what Zhang Zhutou meant, now the things in it are naturally what he desperately wants.

The official didn't ask again, he was just an errand runner anyway.

On this side, Song Caiwei and the four of them went to the county government with the errands.

On the other side, in the woods still some distance away from Liyuan County, the figures of several horses flashed.

The horses were galloping, and there were people sitting immediately, led by Wang Xiancheng, who had left the county seat a few days ago and went to a distant village to rescue the sold women.

In the past few days, he has rescued more than ten women, and he was also going to rush back to the city to see if there was any major incident in the county.

But before he went back, a catcher who ran out of the city reported to him that Xu Xian was selling fake medicine in the city and was arrested and put in prison by Zhang Zhutou.

As soon as he heard the news, Wang Xiancheng almost fell off his horse, and he smiled helplessly: "Are these people pigs?" ”

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

Immediately, Wang Xiancheng waved his whip and pointed in the direction of the county seat and said: "Go back quickly, and rescue the county magistrate before poking out the big basket." ”

"Know...... Lord Zhixian? My lord, you know what you're talking about? ”

Several officials behind him were immediately shocked.

……

The stalemate in the cell continued, and no matter what Lei Heng said, Cao Xiu just didn't cooperate.

In addition, Cao Xiu also knocked on the side to ask Lei Heng about his cousin.

Lei Heng was naturally silent about this, and Shen Gongzi naturally couldn't let Cao Xiu know, just say that he liked his cousin.

Cao Xiu did not cooperate, and Zhang Zhutou proposed to come hard, the so-called hard, that is, to use heavy punishment, which is mostly a way to deal with those hard-mouthed prisoners.

Lei Heng thought that Cao Xiu would definitely turn pale with fright when he heard this, but he didn't expect this kid to suddenly burst out, "Big punishment, okay, if you dare to use it, I will dare to do it." ”

Why is he so fearless, Lei Heng really can't figure it out.

Zhang Zhutou had already escorted Cao Xiu outside and handed him over to Ai Prison Officials to deal with.

Lei Heng in the room was still thinking about Cao Xiu.

Wait, somehow, Lei Heng thought of some news from Jiang Ning.

Xu Xian will judge the case, his accent is not like Jiang Ning's side, I heard Zhang Zhutou say that there is a Bai Suzhen who looks like Song Caiwei next to him.

It's a pity that Lei Heng can't see it for a while, otherwise he will help Zhang Zhutou distinguish.

However, when I thought about it at this time, a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

"Brother Zhang, I brought you that white girl, and she is waiting in the court at the moment." The official who came back from Wei Caotang first asked Song Caiwei to wait in the public court, while he went to the prison to find Zhang to catch the head.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhutou nodded, "Tell them to wait outside first, and I'll come over later." ”

After explaining the matter, when he turned around, he saw Lei Heng coming out of the cell, but at this time, Lei Heng's face was a little ugly, but Zhang Zhutou didn't think too much, because a good show he was waiting for was about to start.

At this time, Cao Xiu had been tied to the cross by the Ai jailer, who held the whip in his hand and showed Cao Xiu a strange smile.

In the stove next to him was a red-hot soldering iron.

Cao Xiu also smiled at him and said loudly: "Come on, whatever you can do, use it." ”

Zhang Zhutou snorted, "It's really a dead duck with a hard mouth!" ”

……

"My lord, why are you back?"

"Quick, don't ask, where is Cao Zhixian?"

When Zhang Zhutou was about to execute Cao Xiu, Wang Xiancheng happened to be outside the yamen of the mansion, he turned over and dismounted, and the official guarding the door hurriedly ran out to pick him up.

Wang Xiancheng asked him while rushing inside.

"What Cao Zhi County, the little one has never heard of it."

The official felt strange, Wang Xiancheng has been a little tanned by the sun these days, is he stupid?

Wang Xiancheng ignored him and asked instead, "What about the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant?" ”

"They were all drinking tea in the pavilion."

"These stupid people, they're all pigs, quick, quick, tell them to go to prison, hurry, or something really will happen!"

Wang Xiancheng left the servants, and his two feet had changed from fast walking to sprinting.
