Chapter 183: The Tiger's Den (I)
Liu Mazi is a hereditary arrester, and the most important thing to eat in a big place like Jiangning is not the ability to handle cases but the ability to socialize, otherwise he doesn't know how to die. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he has seen a lot of people in the past few decades, famous daughters, I don't know how many famous people have seen in Qinglou, and the so-called peerless beauties have also seen some, and they have long been old fritters who can cope with any scene. But when he saw the woman in fox fur slowly walking out of the sedan chair for the first time, his breathing was still suffocating, and it felt as if it was the first time he walked into the Qing Building, and it was like the first time he collected black money, the first time he killed people, and the first time he killed his colleagues......
Breathing stopped, my heart beat faster, the blood around my body was burning, countless thoughts were circling in my brain, and finally there was only one sentence left: I want to sleep with this woman, even if it is only once and then I will be crushed, it will be worth it.
In the wind and snow, the girl covered in silver is like a holy snowlotus blooming. Half looks like a human, and the other half looks like a god.
Standing beside the woman was a young maid, shivering in the wind, and in front of the woman were three men. One looked like a scholar, and the other two were long-term followers. Looking at their clothes, they must not be ordinary people, most of them are rich businessmen and tycoons, although they are very raw, but they cannot be underestimated. Jiang Ningcheng is a well-known rich man, many officials, many nobles, and Liu Mazi, who has dealt with these people for many years, has long practiced this ability. Even if he couldn't recognize the other party's origin, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and kowtowed.
He knew that there would not be a little person like him in the eyes of the other party, only seeing one face, saying a few words, and not even remembering his name when he turned around. But that's okay, all he needs now is that no one pays attention to him. Wait until the future...... He had imagined what he would do to the girl if she contracted smallpox and came to his territory. This thought made him inexplicably excited, and the whole person was twenty years younger.
The beauty did not come forward to negotiate, but the scholar came forward to talk to the government. This young scholar is very kind, but he doesn't have many shelves, and he nodded towards Liu Mazi and said: "My surname is Fan Nai, and I am a good friend of Grandpa Xu of the Duke of Wei." I'm here to see Miss Six. ”
"Are you...... Master Fan, right? But the face is very raw, I have never seen it. But since you are a friend of the Guogong Mansion, you are a great nobleman, and it is said that you have orders for the villain not to dare to disobey. It's just that the villain has to dare to ask, how many have ever had flowers? …… If you haven't come out, then forgive the villain for all difficulties. When building this flower village, Tianfu and our grandfather had strict orders that those who had never produced flowers were not allowed to enter the village, otherwise they would break their legs. This is also for the good of you, if you contract this disease, it will cost you your life. Besides, there is a difference between men and women, this is a Zhuangzi where women live, and men are not allowed to go in. ”
"Rules are rules, people are people, there is always a way, isn't it?" As Fan Jin spoke, he had already sent a piece of silver over, Liu Mazi excused himself a few times, reluctantly accepted it, and smiled awkwardly. "I'm actually doing this for the good of a few people, you think, this is smallpox...... If they were sick, they wouldn't have been allowed to live here. If the disease spreads from person to person, what if...... The villain is talking about what if...... Of course, if there are a few people who have official affairs in the yamen, it will be easy to do. ”
"If there is any case, we will bear it ourselves, and it has nothing to do with you." The girl spoke, her voice was nice, but her tone was cold. After saying this, she coughed a few more times. Even this cough still makes people feel extremely beautiful and makes people reverie endlessly.
Fan Jin took off his coat and handed it over, but the girl shook her head and only looked at Liu Mazi, "It's a good thing to stick to principles, but everything has a degree, and after this degree, it's asking for hardship." If I want to ask for a business from the yamen, it is not difficult, but if I really want to get to that point, I promise to smash your job first, so that you will not be able to move an inch in Jiangning City. Are you out of the way or not out of the way now? ”
"Let's ...... Naturally, let's. Those of us who serve as officials are not all acting on orders, so don't be like us. Liu Mazi smiled and apologized, and at the same time ordered people to get out of the way, and the young official led them in.
There were several rows of footprints left on the snow, two of which were exceptionally slender, and they were supposed to be the pair of beauties. Looking at the two rows of footprints, Liu Mazi secretly thought in his heart: Little girl, when I strip you naked, see if you are still arrogant......
Due to the time gained in front, Jiao Pozi almost smoothed out all the hands and tails, leaving no flaws. Sister Xu's master and servant are indeed treated very well, and they are not afraid of being checked. Jiao Pozi has been inspecting the Wei Mansion for the past few days, and she has already practiced well, and while leading the way, she talked about her own difficulties and the benefits to the Xu family.
When she got to the door, Mrs. Jiao pointed to the room and said, "Please take a look, this house was originally lived by an old slave and a few dukes, and it can be said to be the best house in the daughter's village, as soon as Miss Six came, we moved out." Although the environment in all aspects cannot be compared with the Guogong Mansion, it is already regarded as the first-rate in the flower village. The yamen is poor, there is nothing to want, and if you can do this, you will already go all out. In the eyes of your nobles, it is natural that you can't see it, but if you want to do it better, the yamen is also powerless. If only I could raise a sum of money and repair the house here. A few days ago, it snowed heavily, and several houses here in the women's village collapsed, crushing several people, which is also pitiful. But the house is like this, what can outsiders do? ”
Zhang looked at the house and did not express an opinion, but said to Chunxiang: "Follow me in." ”
"Miss...... Smallpox...... I...... Let's just take a look outside, shall we? Haruka's legs were shaking from the moment she entered the village, and even more so when she got there. The Zhang family has strict rules, and if you disobey your master, you will be punished very severely, but no matter how many punishments you have, you can't get more than this fatal disease. It could be seen that she didn't want to go in.
Zhang's face was cold, "If you don't listen to me, I'll sell you!" I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? She stretched out her hand and put on the veil, "As long as you don't get too close to people, don't touch her clothes, and have a veil, where will the one be afraid?" , Haruka can only follow her example and pull up the veil and follow behind the young lady.
There was a knock on the door, and soon someone answered, and then the door opened. In Haruka's opinion, this door is not so much a door as a ghost gate of the Senluo Temple. Due to the poor lighting, the room is black and hollow, and it is like going to hell when you walk in. It was the mother-in-law of the Wei Mansion who came out, and her face was actually not much better than that of Jiao's, and Chunxiang Wangzhi was also like a ghost, and she took two steps back, wanting to hide back, but under the cold eyes of the young lady, she had to follow behind with tears in her eyes.
There is a difference between men and women, Fan Jin is really not good to follow in, and after they enter, the door is closed again, leaving only him, Guan Qing and Fan Zhigao. Two forbidden women with big shoulders and round waists accompanied them on both sides, one in his early twenties, and the slightly older one was less than thirty, all of them had flattering and even flattering smiles on their faces, especially looking at Fan Jin's eyes, which was very interesting. But the pockmarked and horizontal flesh on their faces made people unable to mention any thoughts about men and women about them, and the three masters and servants of the Fan family did not greet them, but gossiped together.
Since they are all villagers, they naturally speak Cantonese vernacular, and for those women, they can't understand what to say at all.
Fan Zhigao looked around, "Uncle Jiu, why do I think this house is weird, there are no houses around to be neighbors with him." Wasn't this a private house in the first place? Could it be that the owner of this house has a very bad character, and everyone refuses to pay attention to him? ”
Guan Qingdao: "I see that the house has been demolished, if you take a closer look, there are still some traces around." This is because they came here, and they artificially made such a room to come out, and they did not approach other people. I heard that this is the place where the forbidden woman lives, which is not surprising, after all, he is a person in charge, and he must make himself live better and be separated from other people. But there are three forbidden women in total, and the house is so big, it's a waste. ”
Fan Jin nodded and said: "It's not a big problem to arrange this way, managing people here, it is inevitable to have conflicts with people, living too close, I'm afraid of being hit by black bricks at night, right?" However, there are not many people in this village, and I heard that there are many smallpox patients, so why can't I see any of them. ”
Fan Zhigao said: "It's good to not see, smallpox, how scary it is to see." If it weren't for Uncle Jiu leading the team, I wouldn't dare to come here. It is said to be a flower village, but I think it is a ghost village. There is a mass grave nearby, which is fine during the day, but if it is at night, I am afraid that it will not scare people to death. If there is no one in this place, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it, and they will all die of smallpox. ”
Guan Qingdao said: "Not only is smallpox sick, but also frozen to death." If you look at the house, what does it look like? Such a big snowstorm, a group of women, where did they endure? The government doesn't know how much firewood will be sent, and if it is not enough to burn, it will definitely be frozen. In my opinion, the firewood issued by the government has never been enough, and the firewood that counts on them will definitely freeze to death. ”
Fan Jin nodded, looked around a few times, and suddenly called a forbidden woman and asked, "Why didn't we see the patient all the way?" ”
"Childe, it's all women here, you big men are here, why are they embarrassed to show up. This time smallpox is very bad, not only ordinary people are affected, like what kind of ladies are beautiful, and there are small jasper, all of them are in this Zhuangzi. It's always hard to come out to see a man, a few people are done, please leave quickly, if anyone makes trouble, it's also a big deal. ”
"That's true, but I'm confused. Then let me ask again, are there any people who have recovered from the flower village and go home? ”
"No...... Yes, right? The forbidden woman looked at the other, who turned her head away, not wanting to answer for her. The woman had to think to herself,
"That's not right...... Probably yes? There are many people coming and going here, and if it weren't for the heavy snowfall, dozens of people would have been sent in every day, and Zhuangzi would not have been able to live. Where do we remember so many faces and names, if we say that the accounts are in and out, they are all in Aunt Jiao's, we don't know the words, we don't know. ”
Fan Jin smiled, "I don't think so, this flower village has been established for less than two months, and most of the smallpox patients can't get better so quickly, right?" ”
"Ah...... Right! Childe is right, I also remember, no one has left. The yamen has an order, and the recovered patients must be diagnosed by the yamen's Lang Zhong before they can go home. Na Langzhong came every ten days, and after the last time he came, he was sick when he went back, but it was a cold and not smallpox. So it won't come for a while, and if he doesn't come, no one will leave. ”
"And so it was. I look very cold here, you guys are on an errand here, and it's very hard. How are those women, easy to get along with? ”
"How can we get along? The woman in the countryside has a bad temper, and she cries her father and mother all day long and wants to go back, and as soon as you stop her, she will curse and even beat people. As for the women in the city, especially those from large families, they have a lot of requirements. Today I think the room is cold, tomorrow I blame the food for not eating well, really, and I think I am Miss Jiao. If you can't meet the requirements, you will end up scolding us. Who made us forbidden mothers, born with cheap lives, people are either at home at this time to accompany the husband or take the child, we have to be here to see the patient, the same life is not the same. In this world, there is no justice. ”
Fan Jin said with a smile: "I have friends with Jiangning and Shangyuan counties, which of you from the yamen will listen to it, and I will say a good word to you when I go back, and transfer you back." ”
This female jailer is in her early twenties, but she speaks with a vegetarian diet, and when she heard this, she laughed and said: "Childe, are you taking a fancy to the slave family and fooling me with this?" Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome, Childe is so handsome, as long as you say something, the slave family is willing to do anything. Just transfer it back, just a few of the forbidden women who have come out of the yamen, transfer us back, who will come here to support us. Now there are hundreds of women in Zhuangzi, who cares without us? ”
Fan Jin looked curious and asked, "There are so many people?" Is there enough food to eat? I'll put down some silver taels in a while, can you buy your own rice? Otherwise, I'll have some food brought over. ”
The female forbidden son smiled: "Childe listened to you just now, it seems that he is a foreigner, why do you care so much about things here?" ”
"The eldest sister doesn't know, my mother believes in Buddhism, and wants me to go all the way to Beijing, accumulate virtue and do good, and plant blessings for myself, so that I can be the champion."
"The champion...... It turns out that you are a master, but it is disrespectful to the slave family. Of course, there are many people, this time the smallpox is so big, there are more than five or six hundred people in the whole Zhuangzi, and they can't live anymore. Then he got sick and died, but there were hundreds. There is definitely not enough food to eat, Childe, if you want to do good deeds, give us some money, and if we buy rice, we will distribute it to those people. ”
Fan Jin glanced at Fan Zhigao, and Fan Zhigao took out some broken silver, which was enough for more than a dozen taels. For these dukes, this is a huge amount of money. Even the forbidden woman couldn't help but lean over, and with a thousand thanks, she accepted the money and stuffed it into her arms, looking around for fear of being seen.
"Childe is really kind, this time when he enters Beijing, he will definitely be able to win the top prize." The young mother-in-law complimented her with good words and no money, and teased Fan Jin with her eyes, and the forbidden mother-in-law, who didn't talk much, saw that the forbidden woman who talked to her got more silver, and she also hurriedly interjected. "Childe, what are you interested in in the flower village, you might as well come and hear it, I have been here for a longer time and know more."
Fan Jin smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, I'm a foreigner, when I first came, I heard about the old courtyard in Jiangning, so I wanted to go and see it." The two eldest sisters don't laugh, Xiaosheng just wants to open his eyes, and has no other meaning. I heard that there was a lotus girl there, and her poetry was very good, and I wanted to sing and make peace with her, but I heard that she had flowers and entered the Zhuangzi. I want to see her ......."
"Miss Lianlian...... Is there such a person? The young forbidden woman looked at the older one, and both of them were a little suspicious. Fan Jin said: "You two see a lot of people every day, and you definitely can't remember the names." But it doesn't matter, I can find it myself, you two will take me there, and I just need to read the poem written by Miss Lianlian, and she will definitely know. ”
The older woman hurriedly said, "This is not good. There is a difference between men and women, if you make such a fuss, those women will not agree. We've taken a big risk by letting you in, how can we let you go to the woman's side to find someone? This is absolutely impossible, don't embarrass us, childe. ”
Fan Jin shook his head in frustration, expressing some regret, and the two mothers-in-law had to take good words to appease. "If you go now, Miss Lianlian won't see you, she doesn't know if she's out of the flowers, and it's inconvenient to entertain guests. It's better to be like this, Childe spent a few taels of silver, we will slowly help you ask, and when you come next time, we will tell you about her. If you have anything you want her to see, write it into text and we'll deliver it for you. Isn't it nice for you to talk with a pen? Many of our scholars here know girls like this. ”
"This ...... Is that good? It's too much trouble for both of you. ”
"It's okay, it's not troublesome. It's rare for Childe to be so infatuated, and we should help. It's this silver......"
"What about silver? It must be gold. I have golden melon seeds here, as long as the two of you are willing to help, money is not a problem. Chigo, take the gold. ”
Hearing the gold, the eyes of the two women lit up, and they took a few steps forward, but Fan Zhigao covered his stomach and said, "Uncle Jiu, I want to go to the thatched house, my stomach hurts badly, and I must have eaten something bad." ”
"Useless waste, if you use it, something will happen to you. This is a woman's place, how can it be convenient. Go out of the village to pull, Guan Qing you accompany him. It's good to bring more golden melon seeds when you come back. ”
The two women hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." It's so big here, where can you meet women. Come, and I will show you, where you run, and see the trees? When you get to the back of the tree, it will be convenient, no one will see it, and women are not allowed to come near here, no one can see it. ”
Guan Qing and Fan Zhigao walked towards it, and the two forbidden women surrounded Fan Jin, trying to find a few more pieces from the fat sheep that fell from the sky. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Chunxiang rushed out, and then Zhang walked out slowly. She had a veil on her face and couldn't see an expression, but her eyes were full of tears, and she knew that she had just cried. As soon as the person came out, he said to Fan Jin: "The sixth sister can't live here, the environment here is too bad, it's not a place for people to live, she has to move out." ”
