Chapter 6 Resurgence
The air in the hall was noisy and muddy, and there was no smoking at this time, but the smoke and dust from candles, oil lamps and other lighting objects could not be dispersed in the closed gambling house, making the inside full of smoke. In such an environment, people are still happy and laughing, of course, there are also disputes, Su Jiu has lost everything that can be mortgaged, and is arguing with the thin man who is betting there.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of "bang ......" at the door, and the noisy atmosphere inside soon began to calm down, and the faces of those who leaned against the door were afraid. Who will slam the door in the middle of the night? It won't be the tolerance of the yamen, right?
A strong man came over and said, "Don't panic, I'll take a look." We have someone in the Wannian County Pavilion, if something happens, there will be no wind at all? So saying, the man stepped forward, looked out through the crack in the door, and then took the latch and opened it. I saw a fat woman and a servant standing in the doorway, and as soon as the door opened, they rushed in. The man looked back and smiled: "Su Jiu, your lady is looking for you." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone said, "Is this still the lady of the Su Jiu family?" Didn't I hear that he even exported women? ”
The woman looked left and right and finally found Su Jiu's position, and regardless of the surrounding commotion, she walked straight over and grabbed his arm and scolded: "I haven't gone home in the middle of the night, I can't bet on your life?" Come with me! ”
The thin man raised the contract in his hand and smiled, "You go back first, I'll take this thing first." ”
As soon as the woman heard that there was something wrong with her words, and added to the coaxing of the people just now, she asked, "What is that, let me see?" The thin man said: "Su Jiu mortgaged you, he has his own painting, but I can't show you, if you tear it up, who will I talk to, haha......"
"You ......" The woman was ashamed and angry, staring at Su Jiu with round eyes, and Su Jiu didn't dare to face it.
At this moment, several people walked over to this side, and a person with an accent that was not usually in Beijing said, "Let her stay with us for one night, and this account will be written off." After saying that, he didn't want to break up and came up to hold Su Jiu's wife, Su Jiu hurriedly said: "What are you going to do in broad daylight?" ”
"It's night! The contract is clearly written, you can't control this woman, it's black and white, and you can't pay the bill? ”
Su Jiu came up and pulled, but he was pushed by someone, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Then the men took the woman and went inside. Seeing this, the gamblers of all kinds in the gambling house not only did not stop it, but watched the play next to them and almost clapped their hands, and some people shouted: "This is interesting, come to the real thing." ”
The woman struggled and scolded in a hurry, and soon there was an extra lump of cloth on her mouth. Su Jiu heard the ridicule of the people around him, some of them were people he usually knew, although they were all friends of wine and meat, his face was always red, he got up from the ground and chased after him, but when he ran to the door of the inner room, he was blocked and grabbed by someone.
The woman was put in, and Chen Ying, who was standing in the corner, looked at it secretly, and was very disappointed in her heart, only to see that the woman was not ugly, her skin was not bad, and she was fat, but her waist was too thick and her figure was not attractive to Chen Ying. He then ordered, "I will give you a reward, but this good woman will not be able to sleep with any money." Several of the men who were traveling with him laughed lewdly, and someone reached out to grab the woman's breasts, and tore a large piece of her blouse, and the red belly pocket inside was seen.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper said, "Do you really plan to deal with the woman of the Su Jiu family on the spot?" ”
The shopkeeper said coldly: "If this is for someone else, I will naturally not care about you, besides, there is a contract, and it is said that there is no bad reputation in the Tao." But this Su family has something to do with the government, and the people in Wannian County can't cover it. ”
Chen Yingdao: "The shopkeeper repented, or was he afraid?" ”
"That contract is for you, I don't care what you like to do when you get out of here. But don't do any of this in my place! The middle-aged man is colorful. At this time, several strong men came in from outside and surrounded Chen Ying and the others.
Chen Ying looked left and right, and suddenly laughed and said, "You have to be reasonable, you have to listen to what the ground says on this territory." Yes, I spent a lot of money tonight, but I didn't spend it in vain, so I took it when I saw it and said goodbye. ”
"Wait." The thin man shouted and handed over the contract in his hand, "You take this thing, and my work will be done." ”
Chen Ying smiled: "What should I do with this thing?" What else can we do in someone's house? It's too much to look up to. With that, he took a few of his companions and walked out.
…… Unexpectedly, this matter was not so easy to stop, Su Jiu's wife's shirt was torn that night, and when she went out, her clothes were disheveled, and many people saw it. Many of the people on the scene were people who ate, drank and had fun, so they naturally used it as a joke after tea and dinner, and they were known by some old scholars who had prejudices about Su Jin's affairs, so they were happy to help him preach it, and whenever there was a gathering of poetry friends or something, they would take it and spread it, which became a big joke in Shilin for a while. Many scholars were dissatisfied with Xue Chongxun's dictatorship and did not dare to fight for it, but this kind of gossip that had nothing to do with him was very joyful. After the gossip was passed on a few times, the content was changed, and the matter of Su Jiu signing the contract was said to be that his wife was being played with on the spot.
Su Jin was very angry when he found out, scolded Su Jiu in front of him, and stopped his errand. Later, he wrote a post to Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, asking Jingzhao Mansion to inquire about this matter, and at this time, many of the institutions with real power in Jingshi were members of the Xue Party. Jingzhao Mansion immediately inspected the fireworks and liquor near the West City together with the yamen officials of Guanwannian County, which affected many gambling house peers, and it was not a big deal for the family to get the news to avoid the limelight, and other Qinglou liquor shops that violated the law were unlucky, and many people were arrested and put in prison.
This incident made chickens and dogs jump into a joke in Chang'an, and Xue Chongxun and others also heard about it. Liu An, who was familiar with the atmosphere of Shilin, walked around the kingdom and said to Xue Chongxun: "This matter is not a big deal, but it has to be noticed, a group of people are ruining Su Shilang's reputation." ”
Xue Chongxun was also angry: "Whoever cuts my people will not be able to get along with me!" Let's use benevolence to think that everyone is safe, but we don't want those people to jump up and down casually. Jingzhao Mansion is a bunch of useless things, let them check it to know that they will take the merchant wine shop to make a show, and it is useless to bully the soft and fear the hard. Yuwen Gong is in charge of this matter. ”
Yuwen Xiao, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the old man has to give Su Shilang an explanation." He thought about it for a while and took the opportunity to mention, "In the past, when Zhou Bin was the young yin of Jingzhao Mansion, how could such a thing happen when he went up to Shilin and down to the market?" Although Zhou Bin's conduct is not as good as that of the minister's doctor, he can do practical things effectively, after all, the flaws are not concealed......"
The staff understood as soon as they heard it, that Zhou Bin was good friends with Yuwenxiao, and he was dismissed last time because of an accident, and now that the rumors have passed, Yuwenxiao mentioned that he was afraid that he would come back...... In the past, when Zhou Bin was brought down, someone secretly said that no matter how many bad things this person did, he was loyal enough, and his career would not come to an end. It's only been a few months, but I didn't expect the words to come true.
Zhang Jiuling knew that he could improve his mistakes, and said softly: "Zhou Bin knows that mistakes can improve a lot, and it doesn't matter if he is attached to other yamen, but it is not appropriate to use him as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion at this time." The prince has already set a relaxed policy to appease people's hearts, and Zhou Bin has long had a reputation as a cool official in the officialdom, isn't it a far cry to use him to Jingzhao Mansion? ”
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, looked at Yuwen Xiao, and said, "Let Zhou Bin go to the inner factory to experience the experience first, and then talk about this later." Now Yuwen Gong must find out who framed and slandered Su Jin behind his back, find out the truth of the ins and outs, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes! ”
Yuwen Hyo happily took over the errand. This old man's current identity is very white, an official of the imperial court, but those who know his details know that Yu Wenxiao's career background was a side door at the beginning, and he has neither a family nor a scientific talent. He didn't send the government officials openly and openly when he started to do things, and he didn't tell the truth and evidence, he was still the same as the rivers and lakes, and he inquired about some things from the green skin in the market, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he targeted the people who opened the casino.
The shopkeeper was threatened the next day, and at first he didn't take it seriously, and as a result, his left ear was cut off that night. The shopkeeper was afraid and angry, and hurriedly summoned people to find out the details of the people who threatened him, and finally figured out that those people used to eat on the Cao River, and there was not much difference between them and the Jiangyang thieves. This kind of outlaw will even be three points of the people in the gambling house, usually the well water does not violate the river water of the two passers-by, this time the shopkeeper did not dare to retaliate rashly, and directly reported to the official for fear of ghosts and ghosts to form a grudge, and had to come up to talk about the possibility of reconciliation.
Unexpectedly, it was not the Jiangyang thief who came to the peace talks, but the person who hung the official sign. The shopkeeper couldn't help but secretly sigh at the official and bandit family.
How did the officials of the inner factory get involved with the Jiangyang thieves? This is what Yu Wenxiao is secretly making up, he doesn't dare to let the criminals with big cases wash their hands, but he can buy some people to let the inner factory do things for him. This kind of thing will not even be done by Zhou Bin, who has the name of a cool official, Zhou Bin is also a serious official, and no matter how ruthless his temperament is, he will not have anything to do with those people; Yuwen Xiao is not afraid, he wants to get to the bottom of it, how much is the difference between him when he started out in the past and the outlaws who killed people and robbed goods?
Seeing the official come to the door, the shopkeeper made a "pop" in his heart, and he understood everything, this disaster must be the Su family's matter that was caused by greed for money last time. Sure enough, the person who came said very happily: "Don't sell it, let alone think that you don't have a handle." The things we are in charge of are exactly what Wannian County of Jingzhao Mansion can't manage, and the method we naturally use is not the one in the court, understand? ”
The shopkeeper was suddenly deflated and could only nod. Xindao is a Jiangyang thief and has a white road background, who can he afford to provoke? G
