Chapter 102: The Passing Year is Unfavorable (Second Update)
Speaking of this, Cai Yan suddenly found that his words seemed to have a speech problem, and his pretty face suddenly flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just making an analogy." ”
Cai Yong was inconvenient to scold her in front of Liu Xin, so he had to glare at her angrily.
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Miss's analogy is inappropriate, please reach under the table and touch it." ”
Cai Yanhu stretched out his little hand suspiciously, probed under the table gently, and when he opened it again, he saw that his jade-like fingers were already stained with a piece of dust, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "It turns out that the table is so dirty, it must be those maids who are lazy." ”
Liu Xin handed over the white handkerchief he was carrying, and said, "Miss, please wipe your hands first, and I'll explain." The dust is light, and the table has enough force against them that it sucks them up. And I'm about the same weight as Miss, and the strength between us isn't enough to suck anyone. But the earth acts on us with much greater force, so it sucks us all like a table sucks up dust. Didn't the dust fall off either? So I won't fall on the earth either. ”
Cai Yan was ashamed and angry when he heard it, he was about the same weight as him, and he couldn't be a pig, but he seemed to have some truth in his explanation.
Cai Yong's thirst for knowledge was not affected by age at all, and he listened to it with relish, but he didn't find anything wrong with Liu Xin's words, and said casually: "I can't imagine that the small mountain village where the lord used to be, everyone understands these truths, which is really envious of the old man, I don't know if the lord can guide the old man to go there to see?" ”
Liu Xin was sad and sighed: "Alas, my wife and I came out in a hurry, and we couldn't get back to the road, but I'm afraid that we will never be able to return to that small village in the future." ”
With the further suppression of the imperial court and local officials, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party either fled far away in the mountains, or went incognito, and gradually disappeared, and the stormy Han Dynasty got a short respite. However, Liu Hong did not feel a little relieved, he saw from this crisis that his control of the situation was weak, and the assassins and Taishou had slowly gotten rid of his control. Even just after the New Year, some local officials colluded with high-ranking officials in Beijing to abolish Liu Hong, but the matter was not secret and failed to succeed.
Luoyang's army is now in the hands of his uncle and general, He Jin, fortunately, these rebellious officials are not involved in He Jin, otherwise it is really uncertain what the result will be. And Liu Hong is now in trouble with He Jin's sister, Queen He Lian, because of Wang Meiren's death, if the two sides finally break up, it is really difficult to say which side He Jin will stand on. Weighing the pros and cons, Liu Hong was still determined to form an army under his direct control, so there was the Xiyuan Army and the famous Xiyuan Eighth Captain.
The effect of the establishment of the Xiyuan Army was immediate, and the people in Luoyang City, who were originally ready to move and wanted to abolish the faint monarch Liu Hong, who was barren and unreasonable, and the people who set up the Ming Lord were quiet, and no one wanted to joke about their net worth and surname. Only then did Liu Hong completely relax, and the palace resumed singing and dancing.
Up and down, the emperor is happy in the palace, and the officials in the court also begin to enjoy themselves, although there is less of the top brand jade exquisite, the business of drunk red dust is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, Chen's mother now sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, counting the money until her hands cramp.
Since Liu Xin got rid of Bian Yu's citizenship, Chen's mother got one hundred and ten taels of gold, she redecorated the drunken red dusty door, and hired two elderly prostitutes to help her take care of her. It's not that she wants to be good, even if she wants to be good, I'm afraid no one will want it, she just thinks that she is a rich person now, her status is different from the past, and there is no need to make a fool of herself in front of others.
On this day, Chen's mother was lying in bed and had a good dream, and she dreamed that there was a large pile of yellow gold in front of her, and she happily stretched out her hand to touch the gold, and suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the sky. Chen's mother was startled by the thunder and opened her eyes in a daze, but heard the door knocking non-stop. Chen's mother muttered impatiently: "Who, early in the morning, still let people sleep." ”
But I heard a little girl outside the door shouting eagerly: "Mom, it's not good, something is wrong, Xiaohong was robbed." ”
Chen's mother got up and shouted: "It's really strange these years, ** someone also robbed her, what snatched her away?" ”
The girl continued outside the door: "The little red man is fine, the things in her room have been snatched away. ”
Mother Chen became angry when she heard it, the things in the little red room, aren't they her things? "Bang" opened the door, and shouted as he walked: "You are all dead, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you go to the official quickly!" ”
The girl ran out. Chen's mother lifted her feet into Xiaohong's room and was stunned. I saw that in the room, several cases were turned aside, the wine and food were spilled on the ground, those exquisite wine vessels had long been gone, and there was only a wooden board left on the bed, and the bedding was gone. Several maids and turtle men stood in the room dumbfounded.
Chen's mother said angrily: "What about Xiaohong? ”
Several people pointed to the roof together, and as soon as Chen's mother raised her head, she saw Xiaohong hanging from the beam of the house with four hooves upside down, a rag stuffed in her mouth, and her body was smooth and slippery. When Xiaohong saw Chen's mother come in, she struggled with "hmm" in her mouth, and the two huge balls of meat on her chest dangled.
Xiaohong is now a famous character who is drunk with Hongchen, and she was so teased, Chen's mother remembered that she had already asked the maid to report to the official, if the servants came to see such a scene, where would there be guests who would order Xiaohong in the future, she couldn't help but be angry, and yelled at those turtles: "You dead people, don't hurry up and put her down." ”
A turtle man said with a bitter face: "It's too high, we can't go up." ”
Mother Chen was so angry that she stomped her feet: "You are all dead people, why don't you take the ladder quickly!" ”
When the official arrived, Xiaohong had already been rescued and was sitting there wrapped in a quilt and drinking ginger soup. The weather in early spring was still cold, and she was not lightly frozen this time, plus she was frightened, her face was blue and purple, and she kept shivering, and it was estimated that she would not be able to pick up customers for ten days and a half.
Without waiting for the official to ask, Chen's mother had already shouted: "It must have been done by the Shaolin abbot after the 80s, Lord Wang, you want to be the master of the small people!" ”
This is under the jurisdiction of the Wei Yamen in the north of Luoyang, and the person who is the leader of the official mission is called Wang Tu, who turned out to be Cao Ying's subordinate, and Cao Ying promoted him to be a head catcher before he was promoted to the rank of squire. Back then, Wang Tu had been drunk with Cao Ying, so Chen's mother knew him. But since Bian Yu was ransomed by Liu Xin, Cao Ying has come less, Wang Tu is following Cao Ying, and Chen's mother doesn't have much contact here, and the relationship is naturally becoming more and more alienated, so now he doesn't have much of a good face for Chen's mother, and said in a deep voice: "What's the noise!" ”
Then, Wang Tu pointed at Xiaohong with his hand and shouted, "Say, what's going on." ”
Xiaohong was hung in the beam of the room for half the night, this time it was really cold, there was no longer a look on his face, his forehead had begun to be slightly hot, a little confused, he was yelled at by Wang Tu, but he was a little sober, crying and saying: "A guest came last night, claiming to be a waiter in the court, and asked me to accompany him to drink two cups, who knows, I only drank two sips, and I felt dizzy, and I fell asleep on the desk." ”
Mother Chen didn't have time to ask her what was going on just now, and when she heard this, she shouted loudly: "Impossible, I know the amount of wine in our Xiaohong best, what are two glasses ......of wine?"
Wang Tu said angrily: "You shut up for me!" You, keep talking! ”
Xiaohong said tremblingly: "I don't know how long it was, I woke up again, and I heard someone talking in the room in a daze." It seems to mention what kind of mountain, what kind of old business to revisit, and so on. Their voices were so low that I couldn't hear them clearly, so I tried to hold my head, but they accidentally caught me and knocked me on the head, and I fainted again. When I woke up again, I found myself hanging from the beams of the house. ”
At this time, a catcher came over and said to Wang Tu: "Boss, someone has drugged this wine. ”
Wang Tu nodded, and said categorically: "This case is obvious, that surnamed Tang must be a Jiangyang thief, he pretended to be a lady, poured Xiaohong, and stole the property in this room with others." ”
Mother Chen shouted: "Lord Wang, you want to be the master of the small people, how can there be such a big thief who comes to my Qinglou to steal things." And it's just a matter of stealing some money, he also took away the quilt on the bed, even Xiaohong's corset pants. ”
Wang Tu said disdainfully: "I have been in the public for so many years, I have never seen any kind of thing, what's so strange about this, there are many people with this special hobby." ”
Seeing that he was about to close the case, Chen's mother hurriedly reached out and pulled Wang Tu's sleeve, stuffed something into it and said: "Lord Wang, this matter will definitely not be so simple, it must be the post-80s Shaolin abbot who sent me to make my little red ugly, and begged the adults to investigate again." ”
Wang Tujiang retracted his sleeve and checked it secretly, then changed his smiling face and said, "Well, this case seems to be a little suspicious......
Before he could finish his words, a little girl ran in recklessly, and kept shouting, "Mom, Mom, it's not good, it's not good." ”
Seeing her incoherent, Chen's mother said unhappily: "What's the matter, what a fuss." ”
The little girl was still shocked, panting and said, "Mom, go and see, the guest in Cailian's room is dead." ”
Chen's mother was so frightened that she was at a loss, what is going on today, the passing year is not good.
Wang Tu was secretly happy, now there was oil and water to fish, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Brothers, someone is dead, go, everyone follow me to have a look." ”
