Chapter 47: Tying the Knot
Gao Huan looked at the mess of clothes in the house and knew that he was being patronized by thieves. Gao Yue and Gao Zhongming also called the boss and Xiao Er angrily, and the boss and Xiao Er both had sad faces and looked very aggrieved.
"Don't tell you, sir, it's the first time we've encountered this kind of thing in this inn, and there will never be such a bold thief who dares to steal things in the past." The boss said bitterly.
"Then now we have indeed been stolen, and the property is a trivial matter, but I have a package of some important items and now I can't find it, how is this good?" Gao Huan was angry that it was not the money and things that were stolen, but that his seal letter was lost, which was a very important thing.
"Let me ask you, yesterday you told us that there are no bandits and thieves in this Lingqiu City, how can you explain this matter today?" Gao Yue's face was angry, and the spearhead was directed at Xiao Er.
Xiao Er was so frightened that he trembled on the side, and he couldn't stop shouting: "The villain is wronged, if you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to ask, how long has we not had a thief in Lingqiu City, somehow, the guest door was stolen today as soon as it fell yesterday, and the little one wondered." ”
"Okay, you sharp-mouthed little skinny, nickel means we brought the thief here? Is it our fault? Shouldn't you stay in your inn? Gao Yue was even more furious.
Xiao Er was so frightened by him that he couldn't speak, he trembled all over, and looked at Gao Yue with frightened eyes.
The boss wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Your guest is angry, this guy can't speak, I think so, since the guest has lost something important, we have only one way to report to the official, and it just so happens that the director in charge of arresting thieves in the government is Murong Daguan." ”
When Gao Huan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "It's good to test this Murong Shaozong's ability with this matter." So he asked Gao Yue to follow Xiao Er to the county government yamen to sue the official.
After a while, I saw Gao Yue take Murong Shaozong and a few messengers into the inn.
When the two met, Murong Shaozong said a little embarrassed: "It stands to reason that no one would dare to act so boldly and recklessly when you live here, but in addition to this kind of thing today, the lower officials will definitely give an explanation to your guests." With that, let the messenger who came with him start to investigate the clues in the house and look around for clues.
The case was cracked in less than two days, it was done by a neighbor of Murong Shaozong, this person was a scoundrel, that day he saw Gao Huan and his party dressed gorgeously and knew that he was a rich man, so he secretly followed them to the inn, Cheng Gaohuan When they went out to the grassland to play, they climbed over the wall in the backyard and went upstairs to the house, looting Gao Huan's belongings.
Now that Murong Shaozong knows Gao Huan's identity, even the Taishou of the county government knows that the top boss, Wuzhou Assassin Shi Weifu visited his jurisdiction privately, and hurriedly brought the Humane Inn to Gao Huan to say goodbye, this person is so strange, the county official is not as good as the current management. Murong Shaozong could not buy Gao Huan's account, but this Taishou did not dare to offend Gao Huan, for fear that the black yarn would not be guaranteed.
For the current Taishou Gao Huan who doesn't want to do anything for the time being, he is more interested in Murong Shaozong, this person is still a bit of a Taoist, and he will solve the case in two days. Therefore, Gao Huan repeatedly asked to invite Murong Shaozong to drink, but after several shirks, Murong Shaozong had to come to the banquet. He carried the shelf like this, which made Gao Yue, Gao Zhongming and the others very angry, a small official in the countryside actually dared to put up a fight in front of the Wuzhou Thorn History, who was now in full swing and imposing, what was it?!
In fact, this Murong Shaozong is not holding a shelf with Gao Huan, he also has a hard time, first of all, the old lady in the family has clearly told him not to get too close to Gao Huan, a rich and noble person lowers his status and takes the initiative to approach a poor man, he must not have a good heart, either he wants your life or you want you to be a cow and a horse for him for a lifetime. I have to say that this old lady is as wise as a torch, and sees the truth of the world thoroughly, everyone in the world is valuable, when a person gives you treatment far beyond your value, then what he wants from you is definitely not a return, but wants your life!
Moreover, Murong Shaozong's wife who was sick in bed at home was not as good as day by day, and he really didn't have the time or mood to eat, drink and have fun with a high-ranking nobleman like Gao Huan.
That day, Gao Huan felt that he and Murong Shaozong were drinking and drinking very happily, and the parting was that Gao Huan took out a hundred taels of silver again to give to Murong Shaozong, but this kid still declined. Gao Huan then said that this one hundred taels of silver should be regarded as a birthday money for the old lady's birthday, and asked him to accept it no matter what, Murong Shaozong felt that if he refused Gao Huan's kindness again, he would really refuse people thousands of miles away, so he had no choice but to accept this silver.
When he returned home, Murong Shaozong saw that the lights in the house were still on, and as soon as he entered the house and saw the old lady sitting in the hall, he asked, "Mother, why are you not familiar yet?" ”
"Can I sleep? My son is going to sell his life to someone else, how can I sleep peacefully? The old lady was so angry that she struck the cane in her hand with a clattering sound.
"Mother, where did you say that?" Murong Shaozong wanted to hide from the world.
"Tell me, where have you been today, and you haven't come back until now? He still smells of alcohol. Seeing that Murong Shaozong bowed his head and was silent, the old lady also guessed seven or eight points in her heart, so she said angrily: "Did you go drinking with that nobleman?" What did I tell you? Let you stay away from them, such nobles are not something that people like us can cling to. ”
Murong Shaozong really Niu is a filial son, and when he saw that the old lady was half angry, he didn't dare to hide it, and told the old lady all about drinking with Gao Huan and Gao Huan's gift of silver.
"We can't ask for this money, you will send it back to me tomorrow, we can't owe money to others for no reason, do you hear?" The old lady said to Murong Shaozong earnestly: "How does my mother usually teach you, you can't move if you are poor, do you understand!" ”
"My son knows, and I will return the silver to General Gao tomorrow." Murong Shaozong agreed, and the mother and son were talking in the outhouse, only to hear a rapid cough from the inner room, Murong Shaozong quickly got up and went to the inner room to see the situation.
Murong Shaozong's wife has tuberculosis, and it is basically in the advanced stage, and there is no cure to wait for death in bed. Murong Shaozong is okay at home, he can have someone to take care of, he usually goes on duty, an old lady and a sick wife in the family can't take care of him properly, he can barely make ends meet, and he can't afford to hire a servant.
That night, Murong Shaozong's sick wife died with a whimper! So he was busy with his wife's funeral and keeping a wake for her, and for a while he forgot to pay back the money to Gao Huan, and he couldn't pay it back, because his wife died and had to spend money to buy a coffin and ask the monk to recite the scriptures, so he had to use up some of the one hundred taels of silver that Gao Huan sent, how can this be repaid?
Two days later, Gao Huan learned that Murong Shaozong's wife had died, so he brought someone to the door to mourn, originally he wanted to bring Ruyi here, but later Gao Lan volunteered to follow. When I arrived at Murong's house, I felt a little more desolate and depressed, there were few guests in the house, and a coffin was parked in the hall, and Murong Shaozong came out to greet Gao Huan and Gao Lan in linen and filial piety.
The two entered the house to greet him, Gao Huan saw that he was not in the mood, so he planned to leave gifts and condolences to say goodbye first, who knew that the old lady insisted on not accepting Gao Huan's gifts, and in desperation, Gao Huan could only bring it back. Gao Lan took the initiative to stay, saying that he was helping the Murong family. It was not until evening that Gao Lan returned to the inn.
"I don't understand, eldest brother, you have come to give him gifts several times and invited him to drink, but this Murong Shaozong always rejects people thousands of miles away, and it is too unpromoting." Gao Yue complained to Gao Huan, who was drinking tea: "Anyway, you are now the assassin of the Five States, you really want to use him, just give the Taishou here an order and it's over." Why bother with this. ”
"You know what?" Gao Huan looked at Gao Yue a little displeased and said: "We are relatives, so we naturally don't need to be so polite, I think this Murong Shaozong is indeed a bit of a Taoist, you can't get the sincerity of others just by relying on official authority." Now that there is a big turmoil, I need a lot of aspiring young people like him to serve me with all their hearts. After speaking, he took a sip of tea and continued: "I not only want to tie him up with money now, but also move him with friendship, hasn't his wife died, I want to find a continuation for him." ”
Ruyi got up on the side and whispered in Gao Huan's ear: "I think my sister seems to be a little interesting to Murong Gongzi." ”
Gao Huan was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't see anything in his thick branches, so he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, how do you know?" To be honest, Gao Huan didn't want her sister to marry Murong Shaozong, and always felt that she could find a better man to marry in the future.
"I can still talk nonsense about this, based on my observation of my sister in the past few days, she has always been asking us about Murong Gongzi intentionally or unintentionally recently." Ruyi told Gao Huan with a mysterious face.
Gao Huan immediately looked back at Erzhu Caihuang, only to see that she also nodded lightly at herself in affirmation.
"You can't speculate about this, you can help find out my sister's tone." Gao Huan said to Ruyi with a solemn face.
"Huh? Why me? Ruyi was a little unhappy, it was not her original intention to be a little spy at home.
"Because you and she are concubines." Gao Huan was a little teasing.
"Okay, I'll help you, how can you thank me?" Ruyi had a ghostly expression.
"How do you say thank you? Otherwise, I will only have to compensate you with my flesh at night? Gao Huan looked at Ruyi with a confused expression, and the villain blushed and jumped out of Gao Huan's "attack range" and scolded with a smile: "Pervert, who wants you to accompany you at night!" I have Sister Caihuang and Sister Lan ......"
The unscrupulous flirting between the two made Er Zhu Caihuang's face on the side red, and his heart was a little sour, once upon a time did he do this to me?
Gao Yue and the others had already retreated outside the house with knowledge of current affairs, ignoring the affairs in the room.
At night, Gao Hua and Gao Yue and Gao Zhongming were drinking in the house, and the clever ghost pushed open the door and said to Gao Yue mysteriously: "You go out first, and I will talk to the officials about something." ”
Gao Yue was about to get up, but was stopped by Gao Huan and said, "They are close relatives of my family, so you don't have to hide this from them, just say it." ”
The little girl stuck out her tongue and said to Gao Yue mischievously: "It seems that I said the wrong thing." Then he turned his head to Gao Huan and said, "It seems that I have taken a fancy to Murong Gongzi at this point......
Gao Huan, Gao Yue, and Gao Zhongming all opened their mouths wide, with incredible expressions on their faces, and Gao Huan asked a little surprised: "Is this true?" Sister likes Murong Shaozong? The three of them couldn't accept this sudden news for a while.
With a confident expression, the ghost elf looked at the three people and said, "Can I still lie to you?" It's true, you can't ask her yourself. As soon as he said this, he saw Gao Lan enter the house.
Ruyi pulled Gao Lan to sit down, Gao Lan was a little embarrassed to cut her hair, then looked at Gao Huan and said: "Brother Huan ransomed me from the official kiln back then, I have always lived like ashes, except for supporting my parents to repay Brother Huan, I didn't feel that there was anything else to do in this world, until the **** saw this Murong Gongzi, he was honest and filial, and he treated his sick wife in an orderly manner without complaints." I'm not afraid of your jokes, sister, I originally fell into the official kiln as a slave, and I'm also old, I'm really a little worried that I'm not worthy of Murong Gongzi. With that, he wiped his tears.
