Chapter 46: Cranes in the Clouds
Ning Shaoqiu followed the catch to the entrance of the yamen, and then heard a duck-like ugly voice shouting loudly: "This son is the crane in the clouds of the Yun family in Lizhou City, I want to see which of you dares to beat me with a five-colored stick today!" β
Lizhou City Yun Family? Ning Shaoqiu heard it clearly, and the look in his eyes lit up with the name, this chicken is just right!
The Yun family in Lizhou City is not a big family in the entire Lizhou City, and the current head of the family, Yun CD, is just a mediocre generation, but his second son Yun Zhongtang is quite talented, and was selected as a son-in-law by the Gongsun family of the three families of one mansion.
With the attainment of this person, the Yun family can be regarded as having found a big backer, and gradually has some reputation in the city, but these reputations are not as good as the third son of the Yun family, that is, Yun Zhongtang's younger brother Yun Zhonghe is so notorious.
Seeing the five-color stick at the entrance of the yamen today, he sneered, how could he take this ban to heart when he was used to the majesty of Lizhou City, and today he didn't have anything to do to go out at night, purely to provoke trouble.
At that time, he didn't hide when he saw the night patrol, and let them tie him up into the yamen.
After entering the yamen, this guy slowly said his identity, thinking that this group of little catchers would hear his name and not be so frightened that they hurriedly untied him! But it turned out that they stared at him as if they hadn't heard, and there was a slight meaning in their eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.
Where has the crane in the cloud received such treatment, even if he can't stand it, he will open his mouth and scold, the more he scolds, the more excited he is, and the louder he scolds.
Ning Shaoqiu listened outside for a while, and said secretly: This famous family is different, he has enough oil and water, and his physical strength can keep up, and he has scolded for so long without pause.
"Let's go! Let's go in too! Ning Shaoqiu greeted and went straight to the yamen.
Walking into the hall, more than a dozen catchers surrounded the two, one of them had a turtle face, at this time he was barely standing, his head stretched forward, and he didn't know what to say in Li San's ear, and the other was dressed in a brocade dress and a jade ring, and he looked a little handsome, but he was overly drunk and happy all day long, and at this moment there were deep dark circles under his eyes, it was estimated that it was the crane in the clouds, just now because he was angry and scolded for so long without stopping, and he was gasping for breath at this moment!
"His Royal Highness King Ming, you are here!" When Li San saw Ning Shaoqiu coming, he hurriedly pushed away the turtle's face, and respectfully hugged his fists towards Ning Shaoqiu: "It's these two who are still wandering the streets after the ban comes out!" β
Then Li San pointed his finger at the turtle man's face: "And this guy, just secretly bribed his subordinates, and his subordinates have refused!" β
"You! You! You! Gui Gong looked at Li San with a panicked face, he didn't understand, which level in Lizhou City can't be settled with money now, even if it is a division and three servants in the past, that is a matter of how much money is, and now this little catch is so upright.
Gui Gong said to Ning Shaoqiu with a sincere face: "Little, villain, youγγγγγ Listen to meγγγγγγ β
Gui Gong's face was also out of proportion at this time, and he wanted to explain, but he couldn't say a word, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"How much money are you going to pay?" Ning Shaoqiu glanced at the turtle father's face and asked with interest.
Gui Gong's face was stunned, and he glanced left and right at the full hall of catching, as if to confirm that he had not misheard what Ning Shaoqiu said, and then looked at the crane in the clouds, and the crane in the clouds glanced at Ning Shaoqiu with disdain, and nodded towards the face of the turtle gong.
"How about this number?" Gui Gong stretched out his hand and trembled and gestured two fingers: "How about twenty big silver ingots?" β
The silver ingots of the Ming Dynasty are divided into 50 taels and 10 taels of ingots, and 20 large silver ingots are 20 silver ingots of 50 taels, adding up to a total of 1000 taels, which is not low in Lizhou City.
Therefore, after Gu Gong's face finished speaking, Yun Zhonghe's face was arrogant, and his gaze at Ning Shaoqiu was also a little more contemptuous, as if this person was no longer worth mentioning.
It's no wonder that he looks like this, for this gang of gentlemen, is it still a matter that can be solved with money?
"When I go back, I'll make a big fuss, this so-called affectionate and righteous Ming Wangye, but he is also a guy who sees money, and when the time comes, I want to see what other face he has in the face of the fathers and villagers of Lizhou City!" Yun Zhonghe was even thinking about how to slander Ning Shaoqiu in his heart.
But in the next second, he was stunned, because he saw Ning Shaoqiu looking at him with a playful look on his face.
The crane in the cloud couldn't help but feel angry, this Ning Shaoqiu dared to show such an expression to him, and was about to scold, but Ning Shaoqiu was one step ahead of him, and said leisurely: "It turns out that in the heart of your servant, 1,000 taels can buy your life!" It seems to be much cheaper than I thought! β
"You!" Yun Zhonghe suddenly felt a depressed breath in his chest, which made him panic, and then he glared at the turtle face viciously, making it clear that he would definitely settle accounts with him when he went back.
"Less nonsense! Master Ben doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you! Being said like this, no matter how stupid Yun Zhonghe was, he could see that Ning Shaoqiu was simply playing tricks on him, and said sharply: "Hurry up and let me go, otherwise, my Yun family will definitely not let you go!" β
"The Yun family? Which Yun family are you? Ning Shaoqiu pretended not to know.
Yun Zhonghe continued to shout: "There can be a few Yun families in Lizhou City!" My second brother Yunzhong Tang became the son-in-law of the Gongsun family, you should always know about the Gongsun family! β
"It turned out to be the Gongsun family!" Ning Shaoqiu showed an expression of sudden realization, then smiled softly and asked, "But the Gongsun family of the three families in one house?" β
"You should know that!" The crane in the cloud showed an arrogant expression again, and was about to say something more.
But seeing that Ning Shaoqiu's expression suddenly turned cold, he pointed at him and said coldly: "Bold thief, the Gongsun family donated 200,000 taels of silver to Lizhou City at the fundraising meeting to support the reopening of the Daimyo Mansion, and no one in the city knows about it, so will this move be someone who does not respect the ban of my Daimyo Mansion?" Now you are pretending to be the third son of the Yun family here, who doesn't know that the second son of the Yun family, Yun Zhongtang, is a talent, and was recruited by the Gongsun family to be a son-in-law, his younger brother Yun Zhonghe is a dragon and phoenix among people who are not inferior to him in talent and conduct, how can it be like you little thief, today I will punish you for the Gongsun family and the Yun family, a thief who pretends to be someone else, come and fight me! β
After Ning Shaoqiu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and Li San next to him was already waiting with a five-color stick, and as soon as he heard the order, he led a group of catchers to beat him down.
