Chapter Forty-Nine: Everyone Rejoices

"An, how many people besides you know about my cousin Liang Qiuhao?"

On the way to where the rebels were hiding gold, Liang Qiuwu asked Xie An with some uneasiness.

"Don't worry, only me, Li Shou, and Xiangyu know, and even Brother Yan and others don't know, and now, you have one more ......"

"...... like this" Liang Qiu Wu breathed a long sigh of relief, and her nervousness eased a little, and it was clear that she really cared about this matter.

In fact, in the Great Zhou, many children of the family attach great importance to the blood bond between the relatives of the family, which is a kind of cohesion that can support the family for a hundred years, which is the so-called [fighting tiger brothers and going into battle father and son soldiers].

Xie An has had a lot of case files after becoming the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, and he knows that many families will subconsciously shield members of their families, even if they commit serious crimes, so after the children of a certain family kill someone, they often go to their brothers and uncles, and almost ninety percent of their brothers and uncles will cover them up, instead of persuading them to turn themselves in, and they will not hesitate to spend their family wealth for this, and even be implicated.

And this is also the reason why the Great Prison Temple has a bad reputation and is regarded as a thorn in the side of the Jijing neighborhood and even the entire Great Zhou family, and it is also the reason why the family of the old man Kong Wenkong, the Zhengqing of the Great Prison Temple, is ruined.

In a word, in the Great Zhou, the bonds between relatives override the constraints of the criminal law!

Therefore, it is not difficult for Xie An to imagine how painful it was for Liang Qiuwu to decide to arrest his cousin Liang Qiuhao and hand him over to Lu Song, the Duke of Nanguo, to deal with him, and even to kill his relatives.

And what made Xie An feel embarrassed was that with his identity as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, he couldn't help Liang Qiu Wu, because what was hung on the top of his head when he ascended to the hall was a plaque of righteousness and brightness, and even Liang Qiu Wu would not let him bend the law for personal gain in this matter.

Thinking of this, Xie An could only sigh secretly, secretly hoping that the Taiping Army would not cause another incident, and hoped that Liang Qiuwu's cousin Liang Qiuhao, that is, that Chen Bei, would not appear again, but he also knew that this hope was too ethereal.

He had a hunch that the former son-in-law of the Liangqiu family would one day make something earth-shattering, and the only thing Xie An could do was to uproot the Taiping army lurking in the territory of the Great Zhou before things reached the point of being out of control, only in this way could he help Liang Qiuhao get away with the crime as much as possible, even if he couldn't do it, at least let the Liangqiu family not be implicated.

"Ann? Quiet? ”

"Huh?" Xie An, who was thinking about his thoughts, woke up like a dream, and looked up at his wife in surprise.

Looking at Xie An's confused look, Liang Qiuwu showed a little helplessness on his face, and said unhappily, "I'll talk to you!" ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

Glancing at Xie An angrily, Liang Qiuwu said in a low voice, "According to what you said, that Fei country is also a work of the Taiping Army, why don't I take it down and force the Taiping Army to ask for information ......."

"Don't," Xie An shook his head again and again, and said Zhengse, "Wu, I know you are desperate to arrest your cousin, but now is not the time...... As I said, this matter can only atone for his crimes, and only by uprooting the Taiping Army can there be any hope of reducing your cousin's crimes, otherwise, he will only have a dead end, and even implicate the Liangqiu family...... And Fei Guo, right now is the only clue for us, I know that with your strength, you can easily take down Fei Guo, but what about after you take it? If Fei Guo flatly denies it, not only will we have no way to deal with him, but even this clue will be broken......"

"Then what do you mean ......"

"Cast a long line and catch a big fish! -- Envelop him and have a good relationship with him, this person will be of great use in the future! ”

Liang Qiuwu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, and said softly, "Listen to your ......"

"Hmm!" Gently patting the back of Liang Qiuwu's hand, Xie An raised his head and looked at a mansion not far away, outside the mansion, many Eastern soldiers were guarding outside, and it was obvious that this was where the rebels had hidden gold and silver.

Tough on that, rebels......

Muttering to himself, Xie An walked into the mansion with the support of Liang Qiuwu, and under the guidance of several Eastern soldiers, he followed the corridor to a secret room in the backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the secret room, Xie An gasped.

This time it was not caused by ribs that could be broken, but he found that there were countless gold and silver treasures piled up in the secret room, and pieces of gold bricks as thick as bricks were piled up in a corner of the room, and dozens of huge wooden boxes were filled with silver ingots, in addition, there were many precious jade, jade, calligraphy and paintings, I have to say, Xie An was almost dumbfounded.

Boy!

The rebels have been scraping over the years......

With great excitement and excitement, Xie An couldn't help but walk to the pile of gold bricks like a hill, stroking the tempting gold bricks, and secretly swallowing saliva.

Liang Qiuwu looked around with an incredulous expression, obviously, she didn't expect that the rebels would collect such a lot of wealth over the years.

"Hey!" With a greeting, a hand slapped heavily on Xie An's shoulder.

Xie An turned his head and glanced at it, only to find that Li Shou was also here, no, it should be said that Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, Luo Chao and others were all here, and even the eldest grandson Xiangyu was here, looking at the calligraphy and paintings placed in the corner of the wall with great interest, as well as the precious jewelry that shimmered in a few wooden boxes.

"What are you doing here?" Xie An said angrily.

Li Shou smiled and said with a teasing expression, "Then what are you doing here?" As he spoke, he paused, and after glancing at Liangqiu Wu not far away, he whispered, "I heard that your husband and wife chatted for a while?" How is it? ”

Secretly glanced at Liang Qiuwu, and seeing that she didn't pay attention, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile, "Except for the fact that one rib may be broken, everyone is happy!" ”

"That's good!" Li Shou smiled, with a somewhat gloating expression, and said in a low voice, "One rib can be exchanged for a marriage, it's worth it!" ”

"......" Looking at the undisguised schadenfreude on Li Shou's face, Xie An grinned and said angrily, "I think so too!" ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly heard a cough, Xiang Qing sneakily walked over, wrapped his right arm around Xie An's neck, and after glancing at Liang Qiu Wu, he lowered his voice and said, "Why is Miss here too?" ”

"She heard it......" Xie An said with an innocent expression.

Xiang Qing rolled his eyes, and after looking left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother has always thought that my brother is a smart person, why is he so confused at this moment?" -- My brother has been short of money for the past two days, and he is thinking of making a small fortune by using it, so that you can make peace! ”

How could Xie An not hear the deep meaning of Xiang Qing's words, and said angrily when he heard the words, "What can I do?" Did I say, "Dance, you rest first, and I'll deal with the gold and silver that the rebels have hidden, and then hide some of it from you?" ]”

Xiang Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly, lowered his voice and said, "Then what should I do now?" ――Don't say that you don't know the temper of the young lady, according to the character of the young lady, I don't even think about moving the slightest bit of gold and silver, all of them have to be handed over to the imperial court...... Think of a way! As he spoke, he patted Xie An on the shoulder, turned around and continued to count the belongings, after all, Liang Qiuwu was looking at the two of them with a puzzled gaze.

In fact, there is no need for Xiang Qing to remind him, when he saw this huge amount of thieves, Xie An's brain was in rapid operation, but he couldn't think of an idea that could convince Liang Qiu Wu for a while.

After several hours, the Eastern Sergeant who had liquidated the amount of the thieves reported the approximate amount to Liang Qiuwu.

"General, the general inventory is clear...... In addition to calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and jewelry, gold and silver alone were converted into silver, and 88,600,000 taels were ......."

"What?" Liang Qiuwu frowned when she heard this, looked at the mountains of gold and silver around her in disbelief, and said with a little anger, "It's only been four or five years, and the rebels have actually scraped ......" Speaking of this, her words were interrupted by Xie An's gasping sound.

"Much, how much? More than 88 million taels of silver? Not counting those calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry? ”

The Eastern Sergeant glanced at Liang Qiuwu, who was looking at Xie An with inexplicable eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, uncle!" ”

"More than 88 million taels...... More than 88 million taels ......" muttered to himself, Xie An secretly swallowed his saliva, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he raised his head suddenly, but saw Liang Qiu Wu looking at him with a little displeasure.

With a sneer, Xie An said with some humility, "These rebels are really damned...... Right, dance? ”

"......" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An coldly, and said word by word, "Count and pack all the gold and silver property, affix seals, and hand it over to the imperial court!" ”

"Yes!" The Eastern Sergeant clenched his fists and received the order, and then, the Eastern Sergeant in the secret room began to get busy.

Watching them put one tempting gold brick after another into the box and affix the seal, Xie An really couldn't help it, rubbed his hands and walked around Liang Qiuwu a few times, and said, "Wu, you, aren't you ......?"

As if wearing what Xie Anxin thought, Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little displeasure, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say, An?" ”

Xie An smiled when he heard this, glanced at Xiang Qing, who was constantly coloring him, and gently blew a few traces of Liangqiu Dance's armor, and said tentatively, "Dance, you, these days, the officers and soldiers of our army are born and die......

is the so-called husband Mo Ruo's wife, although Liang Qiuwu is not very smart, but with her and Xie An's relationship these days, how could she not guess what her money-greedy husband is thinking at the moment, Wen Yan frowned, and reminded in a low voice, "An, this is a thief!" -- It should be sealed and escorted to Jijing, and it should be decided by the imperial court, how can it be lightly moved? - You are the young secretary of the Great Prison Temple, and you should know what a crime it is to hide such a huge amount of stolen goods! ”

"To 100,000 taels, two thousand miles of exiles, and five years of service......"

"It's good to know!" Liang Qiuwu frowned and glared at Xie An, then glanced at his chest, and said softly, "Okay, don't think about these things, I'll apply some medicine for you when I go back......"

"Let's talk about it again!"

"......" Liang Qiuwu didn't speak, just looked at Xie An with a displeased face.

With Xie An's understanding of Liangqiu Dance, once she stopped talking, it meant that she was angry, and she was very angry, if she knew each other, Xie An should keep her mouth shut about it, but this batch of gold and silver was too tempting, so Xie An had to take risks for it.

After thinking about it, Xie An said in a low voice, "Wu, do you think it's really good to hand over these gold and silver to the imperial court?" ――Do you dare to guarantee that after this wealth is handed over to the imperial court, those courtiers will not enrich themselves? - Rather than that, I'd better wait until I got ......."

"You ......"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited...... Although you don't like to hear it, I still want to say, how many people in this world don't love silver? Have you ever heard of a sentence that thousands of miles of officials are only for money...... Don't deny it, I'm the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, in the past few months, I have interrogated many people who played tricks on the taxation of the Great Zhou, and the most outrageous thing is that some household officials have privately modified the tax account books and embezzled taxes; Even, the relief silver allocated by the imperial court to the local government, there are also local officials who deduct ...... from it" Speaking of this, Xie An couldn't help but think of Jin Ling'er, and after shaking his head, he pointed to the gold and silver in the house and said, "And these are just the stolen silver privately hidden by the rebels, and the property collected from the government offices in Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, how to say it...... Unexpected surprise, yes, this is an unexpected surprise! ――Is it a tax for the Great Zhou? No! Is it the relief money allocated by the imperial court? No! Therefore, if you swallow it, you won't hurt anyone......"

"......" Liang Qiu Wu's willow eyebrows trembled, and he was about to speak, but he saw Xie An continue, "Wu, is it possible that you want to hand over this batch of property to the household department?" Give it to those bastards who have been deliberately cutting the military spending of the four towns all these years? According to me, I might as well wait for the next part...... It is used to pay for the bereavement of those who died in this battle, or to reward those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle......"

What is a meritorious person?

Brother is!

"......" Liang Qiuwu frowned, and after taking a deep look at Xie An, he asked in a deep voice, "An, you're not doing it for your own selfish gain, are you?" ”

Seeing that Liang Qiuwu seemed to have signs of loosening, Xie An nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, I am seeking benefits for the officers and men of the whole army, for my 150,000 Zhou army, for Brother Yan and other brothers of the Eastern Army who were born and died this time...... Wu, you also know that for the sergeants and soldiers, the military salary of the imperial court is so insignificant, and how can those meager military salaries be enough to support the old and young in their families? -- Instead of asking those officials in the DPRK and China to eat vegetarian meals and ask them to spend all their time drinking and drinking, it is better to distribute them to the officers and men of the army and those who have made meritorious contributions, and use them on the right path! ”

Liang Qiuwu frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "But how can the imperial court explain it?" ”

Xie Anzhong was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I have my own way to do this!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers a few times, hooked his fingers at the people around him, and beckoned them to gather over, after all, the people in the secret room at the moment are trustworthy people, and he is not afraid of leaking the news.

Glancing around at everyone, Xie An licked his lips and said, "First of all, we can't swallow it all, at least we have to give an explanation to the imperial court, you said that you captured Chang'an, but you didn't find any gold and silver collected by the rebels, this kind of thing can't even fool a three-year-old child......"

As if he understood something, Xiang Qing smiled and said, "What do you mean, brother, doing things from the books?" ”

"Yes!" With a chuckle, Xie An turned his head and asked, "That...... How much? ”

A more astute soldier of the Eastern Army hurriedly said, "More than 88 million taels ......"

"Okay, then I'll cross out a [eight] ...... on this account."

"Eight million taels?" Rao is an old general like Yan Kai, and he can't help but be a little excited, but he didn't expect Xie An to be stunned, shook his head and said, "Eight hundred? No, no, no, I'm talking about the previous one! ”

"Eighty million taels?" Xiang Qing and Chen Gang gasped when they heard this, even Luo Chao, who had always been expressionless, showed a little surprise, not to mention Liang Qiuwu, and looked at Xie An in disbelief.

"Xie An, this is too ruthless, isn't it?" Li Shou said hesitantly.

As if out of the worry in Li Shou's heart, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know the specific number?" No matter how bad it is, I handed over those calligraphy and paintings, jade, and jewelry together, and those things are worth millions of taels, right? ”

Beside Xie An, Liang Qiuwu shook his head again and again and said, "An, if you detain such a huge amount of stolen goods, something will happen......"

Obviously, Rao is Liangqiu dance, and he didn't expect Xie An's courage to be so big, as soon as he said it, he crossed out 80 million taels of stolen silver.

Seeing that Liangqiu Dance began to waver, Xie An hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, dance, I know this kind of thing better than you, as long as I wait to take out a part and distribute it to the people below, so that everyone can taste the sweetness, naturally no one will talk nonsense...... Anyway, leave it all to me, okay? ”

Liang Qiu Wu wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while, and sighed slightly.

"That's what I think," glancing around at the people present, Xie An said in a low voice, "These 80 million taels, from Luoyang to Chang'an, the total loss of my western expeditionary army has reached 40,000 soldiers, and in private, we will each give their family members a pension of 500 taels, that is, 20 million taels...... Moreover, the 70,000 Zhou troops were rewarded with 100 taels each, and the 90,000 original rebels who surrendered to our army meant that each person was 20 taels, and the generals in the army were doubled, plus Wu Peng, Liu Yi, Yan Ming and other generals who died in battle, I thought, it will take about 30 million taels......"

"There are still fifty million taels left...... Xiang Qing couldn't help licking his lips, looking like he was about to move.

Secretly glancing at Liang Qiuwu's expression, Xie An said cautiously, "Of the 50 million taels, I think 10 million taels should be used to reward the meritorious generals in the Western Expeditionary Army, such as Third Brother Xiang......"

"Brother is polite......" Xiang Qing was happy in his heart, and smiled, but when Liang Qiuwu glanced at him coldly, Xiang Qing immediately put away the smile on his face and pretended to be serious.

"And what about the four twenty thousand?" Liang Qiu Wu said in a deep voice.

"Well...... this" Secretly looking at Liang Qiuwu's expression, Xie An rubbed his hands and said cautiously, "I mean, let's divide it privately, the Eastern Army will take fifty percent, I will take forty percent, and the Southern Army will give one percent......

Li Shou was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement, "Hey, Xie An, what about this king?" ”

"I don't have your share, just stay there!"

"......" Li Shouwei was speechless, crying and laughing.

"How? Dance? Xie An looked at Liang Qiuwu cautiously, waited for a long time and didn't see her answer, and quickly changed his words and said, "That's it, sixty percent for the Eastern Army, three percent for me, and one percent for the Southern Army?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"That'...... Seventy percent of the Eastern Army? I take 20 percent? The Southern Army? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Okay, okay, I'll take a step back, okay? Eighty percent of the Eastern Army, one percent of me, and one percent of the Southern Army, this is always okay, right? ”

Liang Qiuwu sighed slightly, looked at Xie An and said in a deep voice, "Sixty percent of the Eastern Army and forty percent of the Southern Army!" ”

"......" Xie An opened his mouth, looked at Liang Qiu Wu stupidly, and said strangely, "That...... What about me? I've done a lot of things...... Is it good to be half-formed? ”

Looking at Xie An's smiling and pleading expression, Liang Qiuwu shook his head angrily, walked to the wooden box full of silver ingots, took a silver ingot from it, and put it in Xie An's hand.

"Do...... Do what? ”

"It's yours!"

Looking at the silver ingot in his hand stupidly, Xie An said with a strange expression, "Five...... Fifty taels? ”

"No either? Then return it! As he spoke, Liang Qiuwu reached out to take it.

"No, no, no, I want ......" Xie An hurriedly protected the silver ingot, and then looked at the silver ingot, which was full of fifty taels, and shook his head with a smile.

"Congratulations!" Li Shou said gloating on the side.

Glancing at Li Shou, Xie An rolled his eyes angrily and sat sullenly on a box full of silver.

Boy!

After half a year of hard work, it will be divided into fifty taels of silver?

Brother invited the officials in the Great Prison Temple to eat a few meals more than that, but ......

It's better than nothing......

Thinking of this, Xie An took the fifty taels of silver in his hand and looked at Liang Qiuwu angrily.

Looking at Xie An's sullen expression, Liang Qiuwu sighed secretly, and suddenly saw Xiang Qing as if he had winked at his husband-in-law, frowned, and then leaned into Xiang Qing's ear and whispered, "Third Brother Xiang, if you lead An to such a place of fireworks, you won't even have fifty taels!" ”

Xiang Qing was shocked when he heard this, and said, "How could it be......"

"......" Liang Qiuwu looked directly at Xiang Qing and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiang Qing didn't feel a little weak, nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you won't ......."

"That's good!" Liang Qiuwu nodded with satisfaction.

And at this moment, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly chuckled, "Sister Wu seems to have forgotten the slave family?" ――Whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an, they are all designed by the slave family...... The slave family wants half! ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, you must know that the eldest grandson Xiangyu has never cared about money and fame, but now he intends to get a piece of the pie, which is really a little puzzling, even Xie An didn't expect it.

Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly when he heard this, turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said puzzledly, "What do you want this silver for?" - Your eldest grandson's ......"

Before he could speak, he saw that the eldest grandson Xiangyu interrupted Liang Qiuwu's words with a word, and said lightly, "The eldest grandson's family is the eldest grandson's family, and the slave family is the slave family, how can it be generalized?" -- The slave family has laid down nine passes in the city this time, and most of the credit this time belongs to the slave family, and the slave family wants half, isn't it too much? ”

"You haven't answered me yet!"

"Dowry!" Glancing at Xie An, who was stunned, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly, "He was controlled by Sister Wu, and the slave family knew that he couldn't count on him, so only the slave family would prepare it themselves!" ――Could it be that the slave family has not yet passed the door, and Sister Wu is thinking about bullying the slave family? ”

Everyone in the secret room glanced at each other, took a few steps back, and looked at the two women with strange expressions.

"It's time for the show!" Li Shou, who walked to sit next to Xie An at some point, laughed in a low voice with a bit of banter.

Xie An glared at Li Shou viciously when he heard this, and when he looked up at Liang Qiuwu again, he saw that she was frowning at him, and immediately looked away from his eyes, so he looked around the secret room in confusion.

Looking at Xie An's contrived actions, Liang Qiuwu sighed slightly, then turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said in a deep voice, "The Eastern Army is forty percent, the Southern Army is forty percent, and you are two percent!" ”

After staring at Liang Qiuwu for a long time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu suddenly giggled, revealing a sweet smile. "Deal!"

Seeing this, Liang Qiu Wu hesitated, and whispered a few words to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, because the voice was too soft, Xie An didn't hear it, but the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded in agreement after hearing it, and chuckled, "Sister Wu, don't worry, the slave family will naturally not give him a penny of silver, so that he can go to such a vulgar place to fool around...... Jijing has a lot of eyeliner from my eldest grandson's family, and when the front foot steps into the green building, the back foot slave family will be notified. Moreover, if he still has the courage to set foot in such a place in the future...... Giggles, the slave family is not as soft-hearted as Sister Wu! The last sentence was obviously addressed to Xie An, because she turned her head and looked at Xie An with a smile.

At that moment, Xie An vaguely had the illusion of being cocooned.

"Hey," bumped Xie An with his elbow, Li Shou gloated and said, "Talent wins, everyone is happy!" ”

"......" glanced at Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who seemed to have suddenly become the same camp, Xie An checked the twenty taels of silver in his hand, a little smile on his face, beckoned to the second daughter, and then lowered his voice and said viciously to Li Shou beside him, "At least I have fifty taels, what about you?" - No! ”

"That's good," Li Shou stood up, patted Xie An on the shoulder, and said in a low voice with a somewhat playful smile, "After returning to Jijing, remember to ......return the 20,000 taels of silver to this king as soon as possible."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Let's go, I'll wait for a few drinks...... What are you still sitting here doing? - Save it, sit here again, your ...... Oh, I should say, the two of you in the family won't share any more of your money! ”

"No, ribs, really broken...... Give me a ......."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

On December 6, the 23rd year of Hongwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xie An, in the name of General Li Shou Anping, rewarded the three armies, and at the same time, distributed part of the gray income to the officers and soldiers of the whole army, and even the rebels did not miss it.

Even, after several rounds of rewards, even the ordinary soldiers in the Zhou army were given more than 100 taels of silver, and as for those soldiers who made meritorious contributions, they were as many as 200 taels or even 300 taels, not to mention general-level people, taking Su Xin and Li Jing as examples, they each received four or five thousand taels of silver, which was almost their annual salary.

In addition, Liang Qiuwu also assured Zhang Dong, Tang Hao and others that she and Xie Anding would intercede with the court on their behalf.

Or got a reward of silver taels, or got the promise of Liangqiu dance, more than 100,000 Zhou soldiers of the Western Expedition were happy in their hearts, and drank happily at the reward banquet.

Of course, there are also sullen ones, for example, Xie An, who was listening to the earth-shattering noise in the city in a mansion in Chang'an with fifty taels of silver.

"Your meal has been delivered...... my lord"

"Well, put it here!"

"Yes!"

Glancing at Liao Li, who was full of joy beside him, Xie An licked his lips and asked, "Liao Li, how much silver did you get?" ”

"More than three thousand eight hundred taels!" Liao Li said happily.

Xie An nodded and weighed the fifty taels of silver in his hand.

"That's good...... Everyone is happy! Right? Saying that, Xie An waved his hand and said, "Today's reward for the three armies, you go and have a few drinks to celebrate......

"Thank you, sir! ――Why don't you have a drink? ”

Picking up the bowl and taking a few bites of rice, Xie An said with resentment, "My ribs are broken, and I am banned from drinking......"

Liao Li shrank his head and retreated knowingly.

Glancing at the back of Liao Li's departure, Xie An looked at the fifty taels of silver on the table, looked depressed, and continued to bow his head to pick up the rice. (To be continued.)
