Chapter Eighty-Six: The Martial Family's Case
The shopkeeper of Ximen thought about whether Wu Da was at home, but suddenly laughed at himself, even if Wu Da was not at home, what could he do, could it be that he didn't come back, and he dared to think about what to do!
But after thinking about it, the shopkeeper of Ximen thought of Pan's figure, appearance, and white and tender little hands, he suddenly snorted, what else can Wu Da do, this shopkeeper doesn't dare to look at his wife more, it's difficult to think about it, anyway, he doesn't know, I want to, I want to!
Well, why does Mrs. Wu make steamed cakes all day long, but her little hands are still so white and tender, why?
Brother Yun took a basket of pears and shouted for the third time: "Shopkeeper Ximen!" ”
The shopkeeper of Ximen heard it at this time, he sighed, came back to his senses, and no longer dared to think about the little hand of the martial lady, he said: "Isn't this Brother Yun, why are you here?" ”
Brother Yun frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Ximen, I've called you several times, what are you thinking?" ”
The shopkeeper of Simon was slightly embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and said: "I'm thinking about the things in the accounts, it's difficult to do business now, those who collect medicine are becoming more and more greedy, and the selling price is so high, I have no profit, this business really can't go on!" ”
"You have it, you keep saying that business is difficult, but I haven't seen you stop this business!" Brother Yun smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat pears last time, I entered a batch of pears this time, do you want to see if you want to?" ”
As he spoke, Brother Yun lifted the basket of pears and showed it to the shopkeeper of Simon.
The shopkeeper of Simon looked at the pears in the basket and said, "Sure enough, they are good pears, how much is this basket, I don't want it to be expensive." ”
Brother Yun said: "I can really care if you ask for more money, you give twenty Wen, this basket of pears is given to you, this price, you can't say it's expensive!" ”
The shopkeeper of Simon smiled: "It's not expensive, it's really not expensive, okay, twenty wen is twenty wen, owe it first, and then settle the accounts together!" ”
Brother Yun's face changed slightly, and he said, "I'm a small business......
"Okay, you're young, so stingy, can I still give you money, do you want to do my business in the future!" The shopkeeper of the West Gate waved straight at Brother Yun, but put the basket of pears on his counter and stepped down.
Seeing Brother Yun's reluctance, the shopkeeper of Ximen said again: "I don't eat this pear myself, I want to give it away, you go back, go back, if there are good things in the future, don't forget to send them to me again!" ”
Brother Yun sighed, turned around and left, and turned back to the store, as soon as he entered the store, he saw an old woman following behind, who was Wang Po.
As soon as Wang Po entered the door, she whispered: "I saw it just now, that person surnamed Simon relies on your pear money, he is the most important thing, and he always likes to take advantage of others." ”
As she spoke, Wang Po saw that there were several large baskets on the ground, which were either pears or apples, she immediately reached out and picked up the pear, and then picked up another apple, and without washing it, she opened her mouth and took a bite, and said vaguely: "This pear is so sweet, and there is a lot of juice, no wonder the person surnamed Simon doesn't give money!" ”
Brother Yun didn't like Wang Po very much, of course, the people in this small market town didn't like her, he saw Wang Po take his apples and pears, although he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't ask for it back, just said: "You don't always have a short family in the east and the west, it's better to go back to your tea soup business!" ”
When Wang Po saw that Brother Yun had the intention of driving her away, she was not angry, but said quite flatteringly: "Brother Yun is the most righteous, not only is he good-looking, but also the most generous, if the surname Ximen is half as good as you, then his family's ancestral grave will be smoking!" ”
Wang Po looked around and saw that there were several baskets in the corner of the wall, just like the basket that Brother Yun had given to the shopkeeper of Simon just now, so she walked over, lifted a basket, and walked to the big basket to fill the basket with pears and apples.
Brother Yun was very unhappy, and felt that Wang Po was too much, how could there be such a way to eat and take, if she was allowed to get it this time, wouldn't she have to come and get it every day in the future!
Brother Yun said: "You have to pay!" ”
"It's all so familiar, what kind of money do you need!" Wang Po replied quickly, and it seemed that she had already thought about it.
Brother Yun raised his voice and said, "You have to pay!" ”
Wang Po said again: "I'm going to give it to Mrs. Wu, I have a distant relative who wants to learn the craft of making steamed cakes, I went to beg her and let her accept my relative!" ”
"You want to give something to someone, but you can't let me give this thing, the people of the martial family are really good, and I plan to give him a basket of pears!" Brother Yun said: "But you have to pay for this basket of pears!" ”
"Okay, good, give you money, you know money, what a big person, something that has no interest, it is in the eyes of money, and it is not productive!" Seeing that she couldn't take it for nothing, Wang Po immediately turned her face.
But she still refused to give the money now, took a basket of pears and left, and said: "This pear is on credit first, and I will give it to you when I have money in the future, don't worry, how can the old lady rely on your little money for a hairy child, and you have to rely on a lot of money!" ”
Brother Yun chased out of the store, but saw Wang Po running away like a gust of wind, he sighed, and returned to the store, while cleaning up melons and fruits, while thinking about how to make preserved fruits, if he really couldn't figure it out, he could only go into the city to find a master and learn from a teacher.
On this day, there was nothing new in the small market town, but in the end, because the market town was too small, Brother Yun's family entered a batch of new pears, and the shopkeeper of Ximen and Wang Po each took a basket, but they didn't pay, but many people on the market knew about it.
Everyone thought that if they knew that Brother Yun was so easy to bully, they would also rush to get a basket of pears on credit, but now that they go again, it seems to be a little late, seeing that Brother Yun's face has changed, I am afraid that it is distressing!
On this day, nothing happened again, but in the early morning of the next day, some people shouted!
The people who called were two apprentices of Wu Ji Steamed Cakes, they came to Wu's house in the morning, and just wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was not latched from the inside, and it opened as soon as they pushed it, and they entered the house, but they saw a lot of pears scattered on the ground, and a basket was thrown on the ground!
The two apprentices were very puzzled, usually at this time, the lady of Wu had already gotten up, and would blame them for coming late, what was going on today?
They screamed a few times downstairs, but no one answered, they couldn't help but get up in a hurry, the door was not latched, and the pears were scattered on the ground, no one cleaned up, you must know that Mrs. Wu is usually the most neat person, how can you let the pears fall on the ground, could it be that the thief came in the store last night?
The two apprentices were afraid that something would happen, so they immediately ran upstairs, but found that the lady of Wu Da fell in a pool of blood, and the owner Wu Dayou had also died!
The two apprentices were so frightened that they screamed, turned and went downstairs, ran to the shop, stumbled out into the street, and began to shout!
After Li Rizhi and Wu Er were separated that day, he went straight back to Xingyang County, and returned home that night, his father Li Zhengchun and his mother Zheng were surprised when they saw him come back, and asked him why he came back suddenly, but is there anything important?
Li Rizhi told the mountain chief Guo Youjun that he wanted to protect him, and asked his parents what to do, but Li Zhengchun and Zheng were overjoyed.
Li Zhengchun clapped his hands and smiled: "If Guo Shanchang is willing to promote you, then it will be great, I asked your uncle to protect you, although the county examination was originally presided over by him, you will undoubtedly pass, but if you can be exempted from the exam, this can prove that you are the best beyond reproach, wouldn't it be better!" ”
Zheng was also very happy, and she smiled happily: "Your uncle has already agreed, but now that Guo Shanchang is protecting him, our own family does not need to protect our own family, this is more convincing, and the assassin in the state will definitely not reject you." ”
Li Ri knew: "Of course, it is best to have a mountain chief to protect the exam, I am afraid that I will go to the state to take the exam, in case the exam is not good, wouldn't it be a burden to the mountain chief, and the truth will be true, saying that he, the mountain chief, is ignorant and discerning!" ”
Li Zhengchun said: "Then do you think that after so many years of studying in vain, you can't even cope with the state exam?" ”
Li Rizhi immediately shook his head and said: "How is this possible, let alone the state exam, even if I go to Chang'an and take the exam in Shangshu Province, I am confident that I can be admitted to the Jinshi!" ”
Li Zhengchun and Zheng said in unison: "In that case, why do you need to worry? ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, it's not enough to have confidence, I have to take the risk into account, so I came back and discussed with you!" Li Rizhi sighed, people miss, horses have leaks, if they don't do well in the exam, it will really affect Guo Youquan.
Li Zhengchun said: "Take a good test, if you want to do well in the exam, there is also a difference in the exam, if you do a bad test, you will lose Guo Shanchang's face, but if you do well in the exam, it will be Guo Shanchang's face, you don't want to fight for Guo Shanchang's face, let others know that he teaches students well, and has a vision for people?" ”
Li Ri knew: "Of course I want to, if that's the case, then I'll do my best to go to the state for the exam, hoping to win the first place and fight for the first place!" ”
Zheng said with a smile: "That's right, if you can't take the first exam in Zhengzhou, there are so many states under the sky, after you go to Chang'an, how can you be admitted to the Jinshi, I heard that the Jinshi only accept about 20 at a time, that is the thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, with real skills!" ”
Li Rizhi heard his parents say this, so he made up his mind and decided that the county would be guaranteed by Guo Youji, and he would go directly to the state to take the exam, of course, if the state could be exempted from the exam, it would be even better!
stayed at home overnight, and the next day Li Rizhi went to the county government and told Zheng Gangling about the matter, Zheng Gangling and Li Zhengchun had the same attitude, and even Zheng Gangling wanted to go to the state in person to beg Lord Assassin Shi, please ask Lord Assassin Shi to protect Li Rizhi, and let his eldest nephew go directly to Chang'an to take the exam!
Although Zheng Gangling has not been promoted, but because he has been an official in Xingyang for a long time, he is deep-rooted and powerful, even if he is a thorn in the state, he has to give Zheng Gangling a few faces, but for such a thing as protecting candidates, the amount of face needed is not a few points, it requires a lot of face!
Zheng Gangling discussed it with Li Rizhi, and decided to wait a little longer, depending on the situation in a while, if Zheng Gangling really needs to take action, then of course Li Rizhi will not be polite to his own uncle!
Li Rizhi said goodbye to Zheng Gangling and went back to his Liufen Medical Center, he was not in a hurry to go back to Shangyang Academy, but stayed at home for a few more days, because he estimated that when he went to the state, it would be difficult to go home in the future, so he wanted to spend more time at home with his parents.
But in the evening of this day, someone suddenly came to the county, this person is a fast catcher, Li Rizhi has known him a long time ago, it is Zhang Laoliu.
Zhang Lao Liu has been a fast catcher over the years, although he is a small official, but he is very moisturized, he used to be a strong man, and now he is a fat man, as he grows older, he is getting fatter and fatter, and there is almost a tendency to grow into a circle!
When Zhang Laoliu arrived at the Liufen Medical Center, he shouted when he entered the door: "Li Gongzi, you are still at home, you haven't left!" ”
Li Rizhi was sitting behind the counter, but he didn't sell Bi Nan pills now, he was just helping the family.
Seeing that it was Zhang Laoliu, Li Rizhi smiled and said: "I'm just sitting here, of course I didn't leave, is there anything wrong with Zhang Zhuhai?" ”
Zhang Laoliu sighed and said: "There is a murder case, someone came to report the case today, the plaintiff's name is Wu Eryou, and he said that he was a student of Shangyang Academy, so isn't it a classmate with you!" ”
Li Rizhi sighed and said, "Wu Eryou is the plaintiff?" Who is he going to sue? ”
"His brother and sister-in-law were killed, so he came to report the case, he is the plaintiff, but who the defendant is, I don't know yet, I have to solve the case. How about it, do you want to go to the yamen to take a look and help the county magistrate see what's going on? Zhang Lao Liu said.
