Chapter 53: Heroes Save Beauty
Lou's stall.
The cat's mouth does not stop, and he can't even eat and say that he is too busy, but fortunately, there is a beauty on the side, Shi Zhongtai is not in a hurry, and he is still very willing in his heart.
"Childe, did Young Master Fan recruit you or provoke you?"
Shi Zhongtai crossed his fists in front of his chest, sat up straight, and shook his head with a closed mouth, "That Young Master Fan, he neither recruited me nor provoked me, but there was something at hand that happened to have something to do with him." β
"It can't be because of business, right?" The cat's eyes widened, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although I thought that Shi Zhongtai was a rich man, I didn't think that he would be a rich businessman, hehe, this opportunity can't be let slip away. Having made up his mind, Mao Si's mind converged on the matter at hand that Shi Zhongtai said, "Childe, if you tell the villain about you and you, maybe the villain will also help you." β
Small fish on the bait? No, that's not what I want.
The joy that flashed in the eyes of the cat Shi Zhongtai looked carefully, and after a little thought, Shi Zhongtai nodded and agreed, "You can listen to the specific matters or not, you just need to do what I tell you." β
"Yes, yes, yes, but by the son's dispatch."
Glancing at the side at random, seeing that the surrounding guests were busy eating, drinking, and having fun, Shi Zhongtai pretended to regret and said, "Business things are always annoying, and I have no choice but to find Young Master Fan now." However, didn't Miss Fan's matter spread throughout the capital, and Mao Si, you, a know-it-all, should know more exactly. β
"Now I'm in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, but Young Master Fan's side is riddled with disasters and can't get out, so it's not easy for me to deal with. So, now I need you to help me find out where Young Master Fan often goes. β
Mao Simei drank a glass of wine, took a deep breath, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, and his expression was even more proud, "Hehe, Childe ordered this, why do you need a villain to investigate, then Young Master Fan will definitely go to the Maosheng Teahouse tomorrow, and Childe will be waiting there at that time." β
"Why?"
Mao Si smiled mysteriously and said secretly, "Childe, you don't know anything, then Young Master Fan has a habit and likes to listen to books." And the Maosheng Teahouse just invited Mr. Liu, it was the famous Liu Yizui, and Young Master Fan was flustered. β
Listening to books, this is similar to my hobby in my previous life, yes, this guy is in my temper.
"Mao Sheng Teahouse."
Mao Si nodded and reminded, "Well, Liu Yikou has not started to speak from time to time, and it has been almost an hour, and as long as the son goes, he will be able to see Young Master Fan." β
"What about you, won't you go when the time comes?"
With the direction, Shi Zhongtai was not so panicked, and his expression seemed much more relaxed.
"Childe goes, the villain will naturally go."
"You kid, but..."
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Hey, people, where is the shopkeeper?"
A noisy sound came from behind him, interrupting Shi Zhongtai, and also interrupting the guests at the other small tables, and for a while people's eyes were cast on several officials in front of the Lou family's stall.
"A few officials are hungry, and the women will prepare porridge cakes for a few officials."
Yuan Yixue stood up from the ground, saw a few officers and soldiers standing in front of the stall, her face changed greatly, and she carefully accompanied the smiling face, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand and starting to serve porridge while talking.
"No, my brothers aren't hungry. Lou Yuan, it's time for you to pay this tax, right? β
Seeing Yuan Yixue's face was bitter, the officers and soldiers standing next to him interjected, "Lou Yuan, don't be embarrassed, last month you said you didn't have any money, but my eldest brother left without saying a word." It's the end of the month today, and it's more than two months after counting, if you don't say it again this time, you won't give my eldest brother face. β
"My eldest brother has a good heart and doesn't want to embarrass you, but don't kick your nose in the face of you, a folk woman."
"Bang!"
"Another pervert."
Although the voice of the person who spoke was small, Shi Zhongtai still heard the echo of the voice, his fists couldn't help clenching, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
I saw that Yuan Yixue took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and handed them to the officers and soldiers who took the lead, Li Maoshan didn't look at it, he gently checked his hand and wanted to put it in his pocket, Liu Fa stretched out his hand to stop him, "Big brother, why are you so stupid?" β
Then he pointed angrily at Yuan Yixue and said, "Lou Yuan, my eldest brother is such a good person, do you do this for you, have you given your conscience to the dog?" β
Yuan Yixue's face turned pale, and she said with embarrassment, "The people's women have been short of silver recently, and they will definitely be returned one by one when they are rich, and they have been like this before, and the adults are clearly insulting the women when they say this." β
"You wretch..."
"Boss, give it, this is our meal money."
Mao Si was willing to save the beauty of the hero, holding the silver ingot of white flowers, and his eyes drooled, but thinking of the glory and wealth in the future, and not worrying about food and clothing, Mao Si still handed over the silver in his hand to Yuan Yixue.
"Guest officer, a few bowls of porridge are not worth so much silver." Yuan Yixue excused herself, but her eyes glanced at Shi Zhongtai sitting on the small table.
Mao Si raised his neck high and said loudly, "My son-in-law has no broken silver in his hands, and this is the youngest one." Besides, the porridge cake made by the proprietress is very delicious, and the son and I like it very much, and the money is paid in advance, and he will deduct it one by one when he comes back in the future. β
After that, Mao Si followed Shi Zhongtai's instructions, returned to the small square table like a proud little rooster, and continued to drink wine with Shi Zhongtai, who never looked back.
"My lord, this is the people's tax."
After receiving the silver handed over by Shi Zhongtai to Yuan Yixue, Li Maoshan's face was very unbearable, and Liu Fa on the side turned even redder, and walked directly to Shi Zhongtai's small square table with an official knife, and the handle of the knife smashed the square table.
βDuangβ
Stepping on the wooden bench with one foot, half-bent over and squinting slightly at Shi Zhongtai who was like no one beside him, his voice was cold and threatening, "Boy, do you know who we are?" β
"There's a lot of silver, right, if you don't want a lot of silver, just tell the master, the master has a big pocket here, and you can throw it here if you don't want it." Liu Fa's body moved a little closer, stared at Shi Zhongtai's face, and said in a low voice, "Playing with women to Uncle Ben's head, boy, you don't want to live!" β
Shi Zhongtai leaned back a little with a little disgust, but he still couldn't block the flying spitting star, and the unpleasant smell made his brows furrow deeper, and he couldn't help but stand up backwards. This action made Liu Fa feel that he was afraid of himself, and the sneer on his face was even worse in an instant, and the look of contempt for Shi Zhongtai was even worse.
