Chapter 1043: Reduced to Mud
The matter about the arquebus passed like this, Zhang Zhijie was in a good mood after leaving the palace, and he didn't come out for several days, Zhang Zhijie decided to go to Yipin to eat fish.
The carriage creaked across the corner, Zhang Zhijie looked out with the curtain, and found that he happened to pass by Qingyang Bofu, or the former Qingyang Bofu!
The sign of Qingyang Bofu has been taken down, because this mansion is a royal gift and has been taken back, so the door has been sealed tightly.
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, this place used to be a crowded city, but now it is so desolate, Zhang Zhijie asked abruptly: "Is the Xia family okay now?" ”
"My lord, the Xia family's life is not very good, and now they have moved to Sanshui Hutong!" Bai Yi said in a deep voice.
"Sanshui Hutong?!" Zhang Zhijie exclaimed, "Stop! ”
The carriage stopped abruptly, and the escorting brocade guards also stopped and stood on guard. Zhang Zhijie asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Xia family move to Sanshui Hutong?" ”
Speaking of Sanshui Hutong Zhang Zhijie's first impression is that it is dirty and messy, it is a gathering place for the poor, although the Xia family has been removed from the earl, but there is also a false position as a commander, and the family has been operating for many years, and there are many houses of their own, and they will never fall to the point of living in Sanshui Hutong!
Bai Yulan listened to it and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this subordinate doesn't know either, why don't you send someone to investigate?" ”
Zhang Zhijie groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go to Xia's house and have a look!" ”
Magnolia still had to be persuaded, but seeing that the Admiral had already lowered the curtain, she could only swallow back the words of persuasion! The carriage went all the way, and it couldn't pass before it reached Sanshui Hutong.
Zhang Zhijie had to get out of the car and walk in, the sewage in the narrow alley was cross-flowing, the smell was stinking, Zhang Zhijie frowned and walked inside, feeling very unbearable.
Magnolia said in a deep voice: "My lord, why don't you go down inside and take a look, and your lord will wait in the carriage?" ”
Zhang Zhijie didn't say anything when he heard it, and walked straight to the alley, Zhang Zhijie was dressed in a python robe, and on both sides were the attendants of the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, and it was very dazzling to walk in here.
Finally came to the front of a low house, and before Zhang Zhijie entered the door, an arrogant voice came from inside: "You must know that you are no longer a noble Qingyang Bo!" Your daughter has been deposed! You are the house of sinners, and the house is unlucky, it would be nice to have someone to ask for it! Five hundred taels of silver are you too little? Who are you selling to?! ”
The dilapidated courtyard door was open, Zhang Zhijie walked straight in, and a short and fat middle-aged man was spraying wildly at Xia Ru, who was wearing a washed white green shirt and listening with an ugly face.
Zhang Zhijie went up and kicked down at the waist of the short and fat middle-aged man, Zhang Zhijie has been practicing boxing for many years, although he has no actual combat experience, but he can't get close to three or five big men who are idle.
The force of this foot was very strong, and it directly kicked the fat man who was concentrating on spitting and spitting mud into the water tank, and broke a water tank on the ground. The Humpty Dumpty man was suddenly kicked to the ground, and he was naturally extremely angry, and he was about to scold when he turned over, but he stopped. Because what catches your eye is a bright python robe!
"What kind of house is worth five hundred taels of silver? Why don't you grab it? Zhang Zhijie frowned and said in a deep voice, the Xia family used to be a mansion, how could the house in his hand be bad!
"Lord, Lord, Lord, the main thing is bad luck!" Although the Humpty Dumpty man's head was broken, his anger disappeared in an instant, seeing this bright python robe, and then looking at the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife next to him, he knew who the person in front of him was!
"Bad luck? If you are unlucky, you can not buy it! Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all small wrong, small don't buy, small don't buy! Fuck off, little one! The Humpty Dumpty man trembled, and after recognizing the person in front of him, the Humpty Dumpty man directly admitted it, and he didn't have a registration number, and it was not easy to report anyone's name anyway!
"You broke someone's water tank, just leave? Didn't your father tell you that you would have to pay for breaking someone's water tank? Zhang Zhijie said lightly.
Humpty Dumpty glanced back at the water tank, the water tank was broken, but it was also kicked down on the water tank by Zhang Zhijie, so the water tank was broken. But can this be said?
So Humpty Dumpty's family recognized it cleanly, a broken water tank was not worth a few pieces of silver, Humpty Dumpty gritted his teeth and took out a silver ticket with a hundred denominations from his arms and put it on the ground! That's enough!
Zhang Zhijie didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, and the sweat on Humpty Dumpty's forehead dripped down his cheeks. Feeling the cold gaze on his body, Humpty Dumpty's heart was dripping blood, and he took out a silver ticket with a denomination of one thousand taels and put it on the ground.
A poor man's broken water tank is not worth a few cents of silver, and he took out 1,100 taels of silver, is it enough?!
But the chill on the body is still there, is there any reason for this? Of course there is Tianli, right in front of him, and in the end, Humpty Dumpty took out a few more silver tickets, and finally even poured out the broken silver in his purse.
Zhang Zhijie snorted coldly: "Get out!" Humpty Dumpty heard this, and got up and stumbled over.
Xia Ru watched all this silently, until when the Humpty Dumpty man got out, Xia Ru didn't even look at the silver ticket on the ground, but just looked at Zhang Zhijie with a complicated expression. was still a person with a similar status at the beginning, but now he and Zhang Zhijie are already like a cloud.
Xia Ru arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "Admiral Zhang, I'm smiling." ”
Xia Ru in front of him was already ten years old, Zhang Zhijie sighed: "Why is this so? ”
Xia Ru smiled bitterly when he heard this: "At the beginning, I had to thank Admiral Zhang for his great kindness, so that the Xia family could survive!" It's just that in this world, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the Xia family has no future at all, so it will naturally fall into the mud! ”
Zhang Zhijie frowned and said: "The emperor only removed the title, but moved the commander, and did not raid the family, how did it come to this point?" ”
Xia Ru smiled bitterly: "What you got at the beginning, you have to pay it back!" It's all back! ”
These words are very poignant and helpless, obviously the Xia family has come to ask for it back, this face is really ugly! Zhang Zhijie said helplessly: "Even so, the Xia family still has the original family background, so they won't live in Sanshui Hutong, right?" ”
Xia Ru's brows furrowed deeply, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and he said bitterly: "The Xia family is all self-inflicted, and they can't complain about others. It's just that my daughter suffered, it was the Xia family who affected her, and now she lives in a secluded palace, lonely and miserable, and has no life! ”
"Alas, the Xia family is really sorry for her! Therefore, I sold my property to take care of the palace for her, just hoping that she could, not so painful, and be able to live for two more years! ”
