Stuffy gourd and Hei Qi looked at Zhang Chang's distant back, overjoyed, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Gongzi Xie." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Yang Ke said lightly: "Get up, along the way, I know that you are panicking, and you have always wanted to open your mouth to intercede for Brother Ziping, but now it's okay, after the rain, the sky is clear, and you have nothing to worry about." After speaking, Yang Ke turned around and entered the room.
The stuffy gourd stood up in a daze, Hei Qi was still in a daze, silent for a long time, before he stood up, glanced at the stuffy gourd and said: "Hulu, from this moment on, we can no longer call the brother in front of the son like before." β
"Why?" The muffled gourd urn asked angrily.
"In the past, we were brothers, but now Gongzi is the master, and this title has to be changed, we can't call Gongzi anymore, we have to call Hou Ye." Black Seven looked solemn.
"Steward Zhao, there has been a commotion in the yamen of Zhou, from this morning to now, there have been waves of complaints, and Zhou has taken all the papers." Listening to the report of his subordinates, Steward Zhao sneered: "This week is determined to go against the prince, I want to see how good he is." Did the brothers in the yamen come out with words? What's next? β
The servant nodded and smiled with a smile: "Liu Bantou in the yamen sent someone to pass the word, and Zhou only accepted the pleadings and recorded the confession, but he didn't explain what to do next, Liu Bantou also said, as soon as there is news, I will hand you the news immediately." β
"Well, send someone to send this month's share to Liu Bantou, double the amount, and feed these dogs, so that they can do things for us wholeheartedly. Also, in the pharmacy, you should pay attention to it, and the public and private accounts can all be placed there, and there can be no mistakes. Zhao Guanjia commanded.
"Yes, the little ones will do it." The servants took the command and departed.
"Suwentang" pharmacy is located in the most prosperous area of Xuzhou City, the door face of the four bays, which is the private property of Zhao Lian, the housekeeper of the palace, because of the good location, and Zhao Lian used the power of the palace to bully the market, and monopolized all the sources of the supply of medicinal materials in the city, so this pharmacy can be said to be making money every day. The front street is the door, and the backyard is the warehouse, piling up this mountain of medicinal herbs, as usual, the flow of people is bustling, until the lights are on, the pharmacy guys put on the door panels, close the door. The restaurant opposite the pharmacy was crowded with few diners at this time, more than 20 people occupied more than a dozen tables, they entered the store in twos and threes, most of them sat on the first floor, and only three people sat on the second floor facing the street, Yang Ke sat in the middle, and Hei Qi and the stuffy gourd stood on both sides. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the surrounding hurried up the stairs.
Yang Ke waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, so he quickly sat down, and handed over a cup of tea. Zhou Chu drank the tea in the cup in one go, lowered his voice and said: "Master Hou, the lower officials sent Liu Bantou and several of his henchmen to the countryside today to handle the case, and those who stayed in the yamen were reliable subordinates. β
Yang Ke nodded: "This is the case in the yamen, the iron-beaten officials, the officials who are flowing water, and the officials who are small officials are all local snakes, they and the powerful and inferior gentry in the Xuzhou market must be friends and friends, and if you want to take Zhao Lian to open the knife, you must cut off the source of his ears and eyes." β
"Hou Ye lives in the temple very high, but I didn't expect to know the tricks of these charming villains. The team leader in the government has to get a lot of silver from Zhao Lian every month, and it is called a good name, of course, he has to breathe out with Zhao Lian. Zhou said.
"Lord Zhou doesn't have to be anxious, even if the official is as clear as water, it is inevitable that the officials will be as smooth as oil, the food must be eaten in one bite, and things must be done one by one, my personal soldiers will obey Lord Zhou's dispatch tonight, as long as they get the evidence, they will not worry that Zhao Lian will not comply." Yang Ke said lightly.
Everyone ate this meal until the forbidden street drum sounded, and there were no people on the street, Yang Ke looked at the Su Wentang It was already pitch black, and there was no sound, Yang Ke nodded to Hei Qi: "Try not to hurt people's lives." β
Hei Qi and the stuffy gourd led the order downstairs, and Yang Ke poured a cup of tea for Zhou: "Lord Zhou, let's just watch the scenery through the window and wait and see." β
In the silent night, suddenly the fire soared, and the guys who stayed in the Suwentang store were originally only three or four people, after receiving Zhao Lian's orders, the manpower increased to more than a dozen people, but the fire in the backyard came too suddenly, and the fire was too fierce, and after a while, the ten large tanks that carried water in the courtyard were empty, and they still couldn't extinguish the raging fireγγγγγ β
Everyone was in a hurry, grabbing the account book, opening the door of the store, the scene was chaotic, as soon as the door was opened, one or twenty people rushed in with a shout of firefighting, and they couldn't see their faces clearly in the dark. As the movement became louder and louder, the surrounding neighborhoods also heard the noise.
Suwentang didn't have a good reputation, but in order to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighbors, more and more people began to join the firefighting crowd, and in this way, the fire was gradually controlled, and the guys in the pharmacy breathed a sigh of relief until the last bit of fire was extinguished. As the crowd of firefighters gradually dispersed, the sound of fast horses resounded through the streets, Zhao Lian hurried to Suwentang with a few subordinates, and the people had not yet dismounted, and they were scolded for their heads: "A bunch of rice buckets, what's the use of Lao Tzu raising you, more than a dozen people can't watch a shopγγγγγγ While scolding, he entered the pharmacy, the front half of the door was still intact, but the backyard suffered heavy losses, Zhao Lian suddenly came back to his senses, and his voice changed: "Where is the account book?" Did the ledger come out? β
"Zhao Ye rest assured, the account books have been snatched out and put in the front hall γγγγγ" The leader stepped forward with a flattering face: "As soon as the fire broke out, the villain snatched the ledger out of the account roomγγγγγ Before the words fell, his face changed: "Hey, where is the ledger?" Still here just now, where's the ledger? β
