Chapter 21: Retribution
I have heard that the Ming brocade guards are powerful and arrogant. The power of Dongchang is more than that of Jinyiwei, and it is more arrogant and domineering than Jinyiwei. In the past, Li Qianshun didn't believe it, but now he really believes it.
He is a court official from the eighth grade, and he serves in Shuntian Mansion, how to say that he is also a figure with a head and face in Shuntian Mansion. A small stall leader in Dongchang actually dared to slap him, which made Li Qianshun shocked and frightened.
Although Dongchang was only responsible to the emperor, it could supervise the arrest of its subjects at will without the approval of the judicial organs. But the factory guards under his command were not arrogant enough to dare to slap the court officials casually, since he instigated it, there must be a reason for him to incite it.
Li Qianshun guessed that Jiang Xia's identity must be extraordinary, and I am afraid that there must be a big man behind him to protect him. If not, it is that there is a big man behind the scenes of Qunfang Pavilion, and this big man may still have something to do with Dongchang.
Thinking of this, Li Qianshun had a thrill all over his body, and he noticed that the four Dongchang factory guards who came to him, the governor's yamen, this time were all fathers-in-law.
You must know that although the East Factory of Ludao is held by eunuchs, the staff inside are not all fathers-in-law, but most of them are the backbone elites selected from the Jinyi Guard. And the few fathers-in-law in the East Factory are basically all cronies of Liu Jin, the factory father.
Liu Jin? Li Qianshun has a guess in his heart, is it not the person behind the Qunfang Pavilion who is Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong?
I have to say that Li Qian has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his mind is also exquisite. He guessed a few times, and he actually guessed all the real thoughts. Thinking of this, Li Qianshun no longer dared to grasp the identity of his imperial court official, and then slapped himself a few times and said: "The lower officials were confused for a while, and they violated the royal law with the gazette, and the lower officials knew their mistakes and knew their mistakes." ”
Seeing that Li Qianshun was so knowledgeable, the four factory guards of the East Factory were unwilling to embarrass him anymore. After all, they are all people who walk in Shuntianfu, so why bother to offend people to death. One of the factory guards looked at Jiang Xia and said, "How?" The explanation has already been given to you, if you don't know how to be interesting, I'm afraid it's a bit arrogant, right? ”
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, he bowed to the four factory guards and said, "Thank you to the four adults, the kindness of the four is unforgettable." ”
Hearing Jiang Xia's kindness, the four factory guards were also very happy. After all, it is the person who needs to be taken care of carefully by the factory bus generation, and his identity must be extraordinary, and he can remember his own feelings, and maybe he will be rewarded one day. The four factory guards also bowed back and said, "Matters within the scope of duty, the son doesn't have to be polite, leave quickly." ”
"Yes." Jiang Xia nodded and left the governor's yamen.
Seeing Jiang Xia leave, one of the four factory guards said to Li Qianshun: "My lord, I still want Haihan to be offended." However, this person is the person who the factory has personally told him to take care of his life, so what he did was also a last resort. However, the factory also said that he must not reveal that he deliberately took care of him, so I hope that the adults will keep this matter secret. In addition, I would like to advise the adults, Qunfang Pavilion does not want to be as simple as adults imagined, adults don't think about acting rashly, and restrain the sister to let her go to Qunfang Pavilion less to make noise. ”
The four factory guards spoke like this, where did Li Qianshun still not understand that the relationship between Qunfang Pavilion and the East Factory was not ordinary, Li Qianshun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and nodded and said: "The lower officials can save it, save it." Rest assured, the lower officials don't dare to do this anymore, and they don't dare anymore. ”
"Hmm." The four factory guards nodded and bowed to Li Qianshun before leaving, and Li Qianshun immediately bowed and returned the salute and said respectfully: "Father-in-law go slowly." ”
Being slapped in public and having to nod and bow to people, this is the power of power. After seeing the four factory guards leave, Li Qianshun shouted angrily: "Li Juhua, Lao Tzu is not finished with you." ”
Li Juhua is also the name of Li's mother in Chunyi Building.
After coming out of the governor's yamen, Jiang Xia immediately saw Han Yu and the other two guards in the Qunfang Pavilion sitting next to a carriage waiting for him, and when he saw Jiang Xia coming out, Han Yu and his two guards immediately greeted him. The two guards shouted "Master Jiang" at Jiang Xia, and Han Yu asked with concern, "How is Brother Jiang?" You're all right, are you? ”
Jiang Xia shook his head: "I'm fine, did Mother Kang call you here?" ”
"Hmm." Han Yu nodded and said, "As soon as you leave, I will go to the Rouge Pavilion to find Mother Kang, and as soon as Mother Kang heard that you were taken away, she immediately took a carriage to the north of the city." When she came back from the north of the city, she said that you will be fine, and let me come here in a carriage to wait for you. ”
Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, Mother Kang's performance and the four people in the governor's yamen just now proved one thing, that is, Qunfang Pavilion was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. There is no need to guess that there must be a very energetic backstage behind the scenes of Qunfang Pavilion. However, Jiang Xia couldn't understand why such a capable Qunfang Pavilion wanted to transfer half of the shares to himself?
Did you really see that I was talented, so I wanted to envelop me? Alas, it's not good to be too good, and you can't keep a low profile if you want to. Jiang Xia said secretly in his heart.
Who is the backstage of Qunfang Pavilion, he is not going to ask before Kang's mother tells him clearly, anyway, he will naturally know the Tao when he should know the Tao, and when he should not know the Tao, he broke the casserole and asked in the end, which made everyone embarrassed.
After returning to Qunfang Pavilion, the girls in Qunfang Pavilion immediately came up to ask for warmth. Kang's mother also asked him if there was anything wrong, and everyone was relieved to learn that Jiang Xia had nothing to do. Jiang Xia immediately announced that he would add dishes to dinner today to celebrate his safe return, and the people in the Qunfang Pavilion were overjoyed.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xia originally wanted to have a good drink with Han Yu, after all, he was so righteous before, desperate to defend himself. However, Han was not found yet, so Jiangxia met Cui Niannu's new maid Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing is only sixteen years old this year, she is well-behaved and cute, and she is the maid that Kang's mother just bought. I have to say that Kang Qingyan's gaze at women is really good.
Seeing Jiang Xia, Xiao Qing saluted him and said, "Jiang Ye." ”
Jiang Xia smiled and nodded: "It's Xiaoqing, how is it?" Are you still used to working here? ”
Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Habit, Xie Lu Xie Jiang Ye cares." ”
"Master Jiang, Miss is invited."
"Niannu looking for me?" Jiang Xia nodded and said, "It's good, I know that I will go over." ”
"Then Jiang Ye and Xiaoqing go over together, Miss asked me to call Jiang Ye, if I go back alone, won't I not fulfill Miss's request."
Jiang Xia suddenly smiled, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
After just taking two steps, Jiang Xia suddenly stopped, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't just ask me to go, otherwise I'll test you a question, and if you answer correctly, I'll go with you, and if you answer wrong, how about you go alone?" ”
"Huh?" Xiaoqing was dumbfounded.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Listen to the title." There are six steamed buns in the basin, and each of the six people gets one, but there is still one left behind the most in the basin, what is this for? ”
Xiao Qing counted where she counted with her fingers, and muttered in her mouth: "Six steamed buns, six people, each person has a basin, there should be no steamed buns in it." Why would there be another one? Could it be that there is a god who has changed into one? ”
When Xiaoqing was still confused, Jiang Xia was already about to walk upstairs. Xiaoqing suddenly asked anxiously, "Jiang Ye, where are you going?" ”
Jiang Xia said: "I'll go see your young lady." ”
Xiaoqing pouted, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't go if I didn't guess the problem?" Big liars. ”
After speaking, Xiaoqing began to fold her fingers and think there, six people and six steamed buns
Sometimes the beauty of life is like this, playing ambiguous flirting with beautiful girls, drinking and eating meat and chatting with good brothers, and then flirting with cute little girls when there is nothing to do, how fun.
After Jiang Xia went up to the fourth floor, he went directly to Niannuju and knocked on the door of Niannuju, Cui Niannu came over and opened the door.
Jiang Xia walked into the house and said, "I heard that girl Xiaoqing said that you are looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”
Cui Niannu shook his head and said: "No, I heard that a few yamen came to arrest you before, I was worried about you, and I wanted you to ask if it was the prince who knew what happened last time."
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Silly girl, you can rest assured that you, it's not Wang Gongzi who is asking me for trouble, but Mother Li of Chunyi Building." But it's no longer a problem, so there's no need to talk about it. ”
Saying that, Jiang Xia took Cui Niannu's hand and sat down next to the round table, and he said, "Niannu, now I am also one of the bosses of Qunfang Pavilion, I want to ask you, do you want to redeem yourself?" ”
"Redemption?" Cui Niannu's expression was overjoyed, and then quickly dimmed, "I have to redeem myself for eight thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount." ”
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Eight thousand taels is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people, but I am the boss of Qunfang Pavilion, and I have the final say on how much your redemption silver is." As he spoke, Jiang Xia took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Cui Niannu.
Cui Niannu unfolded the piece of paper and looked at it, and suddenly shouted: "Three thousand taels? ”
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "From now on, I will try to save money to help you redeem the deed of sale, or it won't be long before you become a free man." At that time, if you like it, you can live in this group of Fang Pavilion temporarily, if you don't like it, I will arrange another place for you to live. ”
"Brother Jiang" Cui Niannu was moved, and the whole person suddenly leaned into Jiang Xia's arms.
Suddenly, the door of Nian Nuju was pushed open with a "bang", and a crisp voice said: "I know the way, I know the way, the last person took the steamed bun and the basin away, so there is still a steamed bun left in the basin." ”
Xiao Qingfeng broke into the door in a hurry, and Cui Niannu had already been so frightened that he sat up straight. Jiang Xia finally understood what it meant to be self-inflicted and not able to live, just now the warm fragrant nephrite was in her arms, and she was destroyed by this little girl before she had time to enjoy it.
Jiang Xia looked at Xiaoqing with a look of resentment and did not speak.
