Chapter 21 The villain broke his leg when he was on an errand
"Apricot Blossom Rain?"
Hearing this strange name, Lotte shook his head blankly.
"It's normal that you've been doing errands for a long time, and you haven't heard of it!" Seeing that Lotte shook his head blankly, Li Dutou said again: "The torture of Xinghuayu is specially used to deal with Jiangyang thieves, that is, a long iron chain is put on the fire to burn red, and the prisoners are tied in a circle, and in the scream, the fiery red iron chains are on the flesh of the prisoners, and sparks jump in the sizzling sound, so it is called Pear Blossom Rain!" As he spoke, the light between the pupils of this Li Dutou flickered slightly, obviously he had seen the power of the apricot blossom rain.
Hearing this, Lotte's hairs stood on end: "After such torture, I will be half-crippled if I survive!" ”
"Last year was approaching the end of the year, and the former county lord was about to step down, in order to close the case as soon as possible, he used this pear blossom rain to force Zhang Biao!" Li Dutou continued.
Lotte was shocked: "This Zhang Biao suffered from this apricot blossom rain?" ”
Li Dutou shook his head: "Zhang Biao has also been a helper, and he has heard of the apricot blossom rain, so he has no choice but to confess!" ”
"The previous county lord is so mediocre, he is so careless about people's lives!" Lotte snorted lightly, and said to his sister-in-law: "Tonight, what you and my uncle are discussing is out of my mouth and into your ears, and you must not mention it to others, so as not to spread the word that the little brother will be blamed by the eldest master!" Sin"
"That's nature!" Li Dutou didn't know what was at stake.
The next day, Lotte got up early and went to the county office to check the place, and then went out of the county office and arranged for Shakuchi and Tu Si to secretly inquire about the news of Li Wenyuan's case.
Seeing that Lotte was out of the county government after a few days of ordering, although the six room officials in the yazhong had complaints, they didn't dare to show it, who made the family Leti is a celebrity in front of the master.
After several days of inquiry, Lotte almost broke his leg, and he didn't get any useful news. Although there was no gain in the news in a few days, Lotte still felt a little proud in his heart, "there is no strong and beautiful place to open" and "idle teaching jade cage parrot reading Lang poems", two new "works" of Lotte in the house night banquet, sung in the Pingyu Restaurant Teahouse and Qinglou Chu Pavilion.
It's just that there is another poem that is more widely recited than these two words, that is, the song "The eyes are on the buttocks, and the clothes are not recognized".
There are still many ordinary people in the world, and those who have not read a book naturally can't understand anything, the more white the better, this is a big vernacular like a smooth mouth, which is particularly easy to remember, this chant is easy to understand and catchy to read, and for ordinary people, the sense of substitution is strong, and Lotte's name is also passed on by word of mouth among the people with this chant.
People taste the peach blossom Langjun is young, handsome and suave, and make (copy) a good word, in the Pingyu Qinglou Chu Pavilion between the fame of the Liu Sanchang, who was ordered to fill in the words, all the female tricks all said, the original at any time to sweep the couch to wait for Le Lang Jun to be lucky, and more tricks are willing to spend silver money to invite Le Langjun to appreciate the light.
The trick doesn't want money and gives money to each other, this matter came to Lotte's ears, and Lotte was stunned for a while, is this a trick, obviously being a maid. I thought about it again and again, this is not a way to get money, but this way to get money is a little unpleasant.
After a while, Lotte smiled bitterly, until now he has not been contaminated with the trick, but this reputation seems to have swept all the flower streets and willow alleys in Pingyu. If my sister knows, the tragic scene of enforcing the family law on the street will probably be staged again.
"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! Don't delay Lao Tzu to do business! ”
Walking on the street with shakushi, the sound of beating and scolding fell into Lotte's ears.
Stopped, Lotte looked over, and saw a girl who was only a teenager in dirty clothes and skinny, begging along the street shop, and her expression was full of fear and panic as she was abused and expelled.
"Stop the car!" Just as Lotte was looking at the little girl, a soft voice came from a passing sedan chair, and then the sedan chair fell, and the person in the sedan chair ordered: "Mei Hong, take a few money with that little girl, and suffer less hunger!" ”
The maidservant girl who was following the sedan chair answered, took out some money, and was about to send it to the little girl.
"You people only know how to give charity with kindness, but if you know the evil deeds committed by this girl's brother, I am afraid you will not even give a copper plate!" drove the little girl away from the front of his shop, and the shopkeeper snorted coldly: "The brother of this little girl is Zhang Biao, who committed adultery with the Zhu family and murdered Li Wenyuan, now you should know why no one in the merchants on the whole street is willing to give alms to this little girl!" ”
Hearing this, the maid who called Mei Hong took the steps and was frightened and retracted again.
Lotte was stunned, he didn't expect such a coincidence, shakuchi inquired for a few days without results, and met Zhang Biao's sister on the street today.
A passer-by sighed: "The murderer's sister, who is willing to give her money!" ”
Another passer-by also shook their heads: "If this little girl doesn't want to freeze and starve to death, it's better to sell herself as a slave than to beg on the street!" ”
The onlookers all nodded, but who wants to buy a murderer's sister as a slave.
"Shakuchi, take this money with that little girl!" Seeing that the girl was pitiful, Lotte took out the hanging money and shakuqi.
Na Mei Hong heard the voice and cast her gaze, and when she saw Lotte's face clearly, her eyebrows immediately flashed with a little surprise.
"Mei Hong, did you give the money to the little girl?" The voice of the man in the sedan car came again.
Mei Hong turned around and whispered to the sedan chair: "Miss, that person was here that day!" ”
"Who?" The people in the sedan car were puzzled.
Mei Hong grinned: "It's the one who was beaten downstairs in our house!" ”
An inaudible chuckle came from the sedan car, and then the sedan curtain was pulled up and a corner secretly looked at Lotte. Lotte also heard the sound coming from the sedan chair, and cast his eyes on the sedan chair curiously. Suddenly, the four eyes met, and Lotte's heart seemed to have been pounded violently, and the face in the sedan chair was not the woman she looked up in the alley that day.
Opposite to Lotte's four eyes, the person in the sedan car was slightly red but smiled slightly, and then dropped the sedan curtain and left the sedan car.
"Sir!" Shakuchi looked at the sedan chair that was far away, remembered something in his heart, and hurriedly said: "A few days ago, Mr. instructed me to inquire, Shakuchi forgot to report, and the little lady in the sedan chair is Qin Xiaoniang, the daughter of Qin Yuanwai!" ”
Since Lotte made a sticker, shakuchi also changed his name to call Lotte Mr.
"It's her!" Lotte was stunned, but he didn't expect that the little lady who made him think about it day and night turned out to be the little lady of the Qin family who almost married him, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, what kind of peach blossom song he copied when he was drunk, what kind of female trick he provoked, and now he ended up like this.
"Alas, what kind of sin is this, the Zhang family is obviously a good family, but now the family is ruined!" Just when Lotte was very annoyed in his heart, the sigh of a passer-by came into his ears.
"Sir, I sold myself into slavery, and you bought me!" Without receiving the copper coins handed by Qi Qi, the little girl begged: "As long as I can eat enough, I can work, and I eat very little!" ”
Belch...... Shakuchi hurriedly set his sights on Lotte.
The little girl also had a bit of vision, knowing that Le Tiancai was the one who was talking, so she trotted over and kowtowed in front of Lotte and said, "Uncle, you just buy slaves and maids, they don't give me food and food, otherwise the slaves and maids will starve to death sooner or later!" ”
With a long sigh, Lotte nodded and said, "Come home with me!" Of course, Lotte also has a plan, he can't eat and drink at his sister's house for a lifetime, and accepting this little girl will save her own housework.
When the little girl heard Lotte's promise, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
First bought some food and the little girl to fill her stomach, Lotte bought two more clothes for the little girl, and when she got home, Lotte instructed: "When you come to my house, you just cook some meals for me, and you can wash your clothes!" ”
"The master's house is the slave's home, and all the work is what the slave and maid should do!" The little girl has the consciousness of being a slave.
The little girl's old man's call,Almost made Lotte burst into tears.,Since the crossing, her humble identity has always been able to call others the master.,Today I finally tasted the feeling that others call themselves the master.。
After the excitement in his heart calmed down, Lotte asked, "What's your name?" ”
"The slave doesn't have a big name, and the family calls me Lingzi!" The little girl said.
Deliberately pinching his tone, Lotte asked again: "Lingzi, master, let me ask you, is there anyone else in your family besides your brother?" ”
"Last fall, my brother was arrested and taken to the county jail, and those bad people said that my brother and my sister of the Zhu family murdered people, and my mother fell ill urgently, and the family even sold the last bit of valuable things to my mother to buy medicine, and my mother still died!" The little girl spoke with a crying tone, trying to stop her tears from falling: "I know that my brother won't kill anyone!" ”
"Now the whole Pingyu is saying that your brother killed someone, how do you know that your brother won't kill someone?" Lotte tried to set the words of Ryoko.
Hearing Lotte speak like this, Lingzi's voice was a little anxious: "My brother is filial to my mother and still loves me, and he is also kind to his neighbors, he is a person who would rather suffer his own losses than take advantage of others, I don't believe that my brother will kill people!" "The little girl is very simple, and the dialectical question is also a simple mess.
"But your brother personally confessed to killing someone in the yamen!" Lotte continued.
"Wow......" Ryoko couldn't answer, and cried out with a wow. It took Lotte a while to persuade Lingzi to stop crying, which made Lotte depressed in his heart, who is the master in the end.
Let Lingzi wash up and change her clothes, Le Tian found that this little girl was not only malnourished and shriveled, but also had a good foundation. It's just that Lotte himself doesn't know whether bringing this little girl home is considered a purchase, but with the knowledge of contracts learned from Yan Zhushu a few days ago, it is concluded that without a deed of sale, there is no legal effect, and the government will not recognize it.
Thinking of this, Lotte began to think about whether to go to the yali to get a contract for selling herself, fill in the name of the little girl, and then coax the little girl to put a handprint on it. After thinking about it, Lotte gave up again, after all, he had the thoughts of the future in his head, and he couldn't accept such a dark and rotten system.
"Master, the meal is ready......
"Master, the footwashing water is poured......"
"Master, I'll give you a thump on the back......"
With this bean sprout-like malnourished little maid by his side, Lotte had a premonition in his heart to pursue a high-quality life, but he was soon cooled down by a basin of cold water in reality, and he only had an income of three yuan a month in the yamen, and the material foundation for constructing a high-quality life was too weak!
