Chapter 3 Peach Blossom Lang in the depths of the peach orchard

The man who ganged up with Daogu to abduct and sell human beings was named Xu Jiu, a local of Pingyu, who often went out to do some business in his early years, but after a long time, he felt that he was slow to make money from trading, so he hit the idea of human trafficking. After this aunt escaped into the door, she couldn't be lonely, so she started a half-prostitution and half-way business.

Xu Jiu and this aunt's dewy affection, it was not a day or two, and then it was a hit off, Xu Jiu took some beautiful single girls and hid them in Qingyun Temple, and then secretly transferred to other places to sell them to the tricksters, in order to sell them at a good price, these kidnapped little ladies must be all finished.

The case was tried to the ground, the magistrate took the confession of the detainees, wrote the verdict, and ordered someone to copy two copies, one to report to the state government to the criminal department, and the other to report to the Dali Temple.

The cracking of the missing person case was enough to add a lot of points to his performance appraisal, which made the young county magistrate very happy in his heart.

"My lord, this case can be solved thanks to a gang under the villain, otherwise this case will probably have to be delayed for some time!" Seeing that the magistrate was very happy, Li Zhutou took the opportunity to point at Lotte and said.

Looking at Lotte, the county magistrate nodded lightly: "If you can solve this case, you have made great contributions, and you will be rewarded with two dollars, and you should be a fast man!" ”

The county magistrate felt a little guilty in his heart, yesterday Li Zhutou was beaten by himself and almost couldn't act, these days the errand sent out by the four places has found nothing, and now the case has been solved, so that this little gang can become a servant so that people can know that their big master has clear rewards and punishments, otherwise who would dare to do things with their hearts.

Just two dollars? I'm a little stingy! Lotte slandered in his heart, and still thanked the magistrate.

In the past, when the neighbors saw Lotte, they either ignored or called Lotte Erlang, but now Lotte is wearing a flat hat, a lace green cloth arrow sleeve long coat, and a red cloth around the waist.

The salary of the errand in the yamen is very low, if you count on the little money every month to support the family, I am afraid that the family will starve to death, so naturally you have to make gray income as compensation, although Lotte does not know the way in the meantime, fortunately with the guidance of her sister-in-law, you will soon be familiar with the road.

On this day, Lotte and a few errands collected taxes on the street, except for the payment and interception, and a few people ate and drank a meal, and then dispersed after drinking.

The warm breeze of spring crisps people's bones, and with the strength of wine, Lotte walks out of the city to a peach orchard by the Qing River, the peach blossoms in the garden are blooming, the green willows on the bank are shady, the flat boats carrying goods in the Qing River shuttle, and there are more flower boats mixed in between, a rich and full image.

The wine is surging, and Lotte is dizzy: "The eyes are full of gossamers and falling flocculents, and when the red apricots open, there is a clear and clear rain ......"

Before he could say two sentences, a sneer came: "Humble officials and lowly people, they dare to pretend to be here to show off!" Then there was another burst of laughter like a silver bell.

Hearing this, Lotte looked at it with an angry face, but it was a few Confucian scholars in shirts and scarves standing on the flower boat on the shore, looking at him with disdain, and the laughter like silver bells came from the flower boat, but it was the female singer on the flower boat.

The posture of the female singer on the flower boat is much better than that of the Qingyun Guanzhong Dao Gu, and the eyes of Lotte are staring at those female singers, and they are a little out of shape. It's no wonder that Lotte, since Lotte crossed, except for the women seen by the aunt, they are all from good families, and everyone is dressed up with a scarf to cover their faces, and these women on the flower boat are not only young and beautiful, but also plump and full, a pair of eyes can almost get out of the water, and the dress is even more provocative, the placket of the satin jacket on the body is not tied, and half of the bulging chest is exposed, coupled with the training of the mother, there are thousands of styles between a smile and a smile, no wonder Lotte is a little out of shape.

Seeing Lotte's appearance, a Confucian student smiled at the female trick next to him: "A lowly and humble woman who can't get a few dollars a year, I'm afraid I've never seen such a peugeot lady!" ”

Another Confucian sneered and said: "We are a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and we care about this green dog, isn't it a low status!" ”

"A few big characters that the poor and lowly know dare to show off indiscriminately!" Not only did these Confucian students look down on Lotte, but even the female trick also mocked her.

What the? The sour and fake vinegar scholar mocked me, and you dare to mock the master even if you were a thousand people riding thousands of people! In the previous life, the idea of equality of everyone infiltrated into Lotte's soul, how could these Confucian girls mock him, looking at the flower boat and sneering: "What about the soapy little officials, can't the soapy little officials be educated by the way of Confucius and Mencius?" ”

During the Qingming Festival, there were many people in Taoyuan on the bank of the Qinghe River, and many people gathered curiously to listen to the arguments between Lotte and a group of Confucian scholars.

"Don't think that a few words you know, a few words you read, you dare to show off in front of us, do you know what is the way of a saint?" The Confucian who had mocked Lotte before snorted coldly.

Lotte was not convinced, and sneered: "You read the books of the sages and call yourself a disciple of the sages, but you are just using the way of Confucius and Mencius to gain fame and gain a future for yourself. ”

Unexpectedly, a soap opened his mouth to quote the scriptures, and the words were tricky and vicious, which caused a group of Confucian students to be angry, but they had nothing to say. opened his mouth but didn't want to argue with Lotte anymore, after all, there was a huge difference in identity between the two, even if he won the debate, this little official would not have much glory and surrendered his identity.

Some people who have read books, hearing what Lotte said, also secretly gave a thumbs up.

A Confucian student on the flower boat relieved the siege for a few of his own people: "Just now, a few of us said that they want to dock the boat to enjoy the flowers and chant poetry, why bother arguing with Yixu!" ”

"What a landscape, ruined by the!" A female singer echoed the words.

He laughed a few times, Lotte no longer paid attention to the Confucian students on the flower boat, his steps after the wine were a little staggering, turned around and walked among the peach forests, and walked and chanted: "Peach blossom hermitage in the peach blossom dock, peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom hermitage." The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The dust of the car and the horse are full of obvious things, and the wine cup flower branch hermit fate. If the manifest is compared to a hermit, one on the plain earth and one in the heavens. If the flowers and wine are compared to the carriages and horses, why should they be idle and I will be idle. The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields. ”

After groaning, Lotte laughed a few times and walked towards the county seat, leaving only the Confucian students on the flower boat stunned. This Peach Blossom Annantian poem is something that a few Confucian scholars can do, even if he made a few abdominal drafts before, I am afraid that he will not be able to take it out at this time to show off and compare with this Peach Blossom Anthem.

These Confucian students are pretentious, and the female dancers summoned on the natural flower boat are also some talents, listening to the peach blossom song chanted by Lotte, they were a little fascinated when they landed, and they saw the soap clothes in the depths of the peach orchard as if they had a bit of the style of Wei and Jin celebrities, and the style in the poem was to chase the seven sages of the bamboo forest and the wine fairy Taibai, and I thought that this young poor man was also handsome, and I didn't know how many ripples in my heart.

"The coarse and lowly are just copied verses from somewhere, and they are just messing around here!" Knowing that poetry is no better, a Confucian student said with an excuse, secretly urging the boatman to leave quickly.

When I arrived at the house, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was afraid that I couldn't even remember what I had done. But I didn't know that this peach blossom song that was casually sung by Lotte was the nickname of a peach blossom Langjun won by Le Cha Ye in the future, and it was spread outside of Caizhou after Pingyu, but the poem of this peach blossom song was too long, and the people in that day only remembered seven or eight points and were incomplete.

I slept for two hours, and at noon I drank and bragged with a few errands but didn't eat much food, and I felt hungry, so Lotte got up and washed my face and went to my sister's house to eat.

When I came to my sister's house, it was my brother-in-law Li Dutou sitting on the chair with his brows tightly locked, and he couldn't help sighing, and his sister Leshi also bowed her head and was silent.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Seeing her sister and brother-in-law like this, Lotte was puzzled.

Without answering Lotte, Li Dutou said in a deep voice: "Erlang, tomorrow you will quit your errand with me, move to another place to live for a few years and then return to Pingyu!" ”

"Why?" Lotte became more and more puzzled. You must know that although the salary is meager, there are a lot of benefits such as monthly shoe money, wine and meal money, not to mention that my sister-in-law has a good income as the head of the fast class, so how can she give up her job and go to another country.

"Your sister-in-law has hated the top boss Huo County Lieutenant, and I am afraid that the Huo County Lieutenant will find a reason to retaliate, so I want to quit my errand with you and go out to hide!" Le Shi opened his mouth and said: "That's fine, your uncle and uncle are both working in the yamen, and my sister is also afraid of the two of you, for fear that you will encounter a heavier disaster than the last time, and the two of you will go to work to make my sister feel much more at ease!" ”

It turned out that Li Dutou led people to the countryside on a business trip early this morning, but he didn't want to meet a person on the road who looked panicked and acted suspiciously, and his body was stained with some blood, so he ordered someone to take it down. At first, this person also refuted that the blood stains on his body were left when he killed chickens, and Li Dutou had been doing errands for more than ten years, and he couldn't tell the difference between chicken blood and human blood, and besides, this person was wearing a long robe, obviously from a wealthy family, how could he do that thing, so he was escorted to the county government and ordered his subordinates to be tortured severely.

Before noon, Li Dutou heard that someone outside the county government had submitted a pleading, which said that his neighbor Yao Si had killed Lu Erlang with a stick and escaped. Soon, the person who was taken to the county jail could not be tortured, confessing that his name was Yao Si, and that he killed his neighbor Lu Erlang with a stick because of a dispute with the neighbor's house, and was caught by the messenger on the way to escape.

"It's just an ordinary murder, but how can it be evil to the county lieutenant of Nahuo?" Lotte was puzzled.

"Do you know who this Yao Si is?" Li Du's face became more and more annoyed: "This Yao Si is the elder brother of the county lieutenant's concubine." ”

According to the rules of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, local officials are not allowed to serve in the local area, this Huo County Lieutenant is in the prime of life to go to the post, and the long night is inevitably lonely, a few days ago, he just accepted a little concubine in the local room, and the concubine learned that her brother was taken into the county government, and she cried and made noise to Huo County Lieutenant.
