Chapter 303: It's Time to Deal with It
Originally, Chen Dade arrested Meng Mingyi and was going to Linzhen next door to Jinshui Town, and Ying Jie was waiting for him there, but where did he think that Meng Mingyi would sneak out by himself, Chen Dade chased people to Jinshui Town.
Xia Lunhai listened to Chen Dade's words and immediately found that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Gu Youzhi is looking for his younger brother is not small, and he has been to Linzhen in two years.
"Does Ying Jie look like this?" Xia Lunhai looked at Chen Dade and asked.
Chen Dade's eyes dodged for a moment, but under the pressure of Xia Lunhai's staring, he still made a truthful move, "Ying Jie's skin is very white, and the few times I have seen him dress like a scholar, wearing a long shirt, and there is no big black mole on his face." β
In addition to the big difference in appearance and portrait, Ying Jie is not from Linzhen, but every time they hand over someone and pay money in Linzhen, they are in the stronghold of Linzhen, in a house in Yongning Lane, so it is normal for people in Linzhen not to know Ying Jie, but Chen Dade doesn't know where Ying Jie is from.
Xia Lunhai wrote a letter last night, and the portrait was reinstalled, and asked Gangzi to escort people directly to the county government of Huaijin County early this morning, which is not a small matter, not to mention that Master Yu lived in an inn with them, Xia Lunhai knew that it was impossible to hide from the county order Huang Juechao, so it was better to take the initiative to say it, anyway, his merits could not be erased.
Xia Lunhai followed Jin Guangming and continued to walk out, feeling comfortable in his heart, the last time he accompanied Jin Guangming to Jinshui Town to deliver a letter, it was really the right time, in the eyes of Huang County Ling, he Xia Lunhai was involved with the Tongzhi Lord of Fucheng.
Now Xia Lunhai only hopes that Gangzi can hurry up, and Na Yingjie is still in Linzhen, so he really caught it...... The corners of Xia Lunhai's mouth couldn't help but rise, and his mood was extremely happy, this year is the most satisfying tax collection trip in these years.
I didn't tell the people of Qiuwei Restaurant about this news today, Xia Lunhai firstly felt that it was unnecessary, he liked to talk about the results, and secondly, he was also a county lieutenant, and the relationship with the people of Qiuwei Restaurant was close enough, there was no need to surrender his identity again, and he would say anything and everything.
Gu Youzhi, who didn't know the situation, was excited again after getting Xia Lunhai's words, but he slowly regained his calmness, even with loss.
"Jiuli, did you say that Lord Xia showed the portrait to Chen Dade today?" Gu Youzhi looked at Qi Jiuli and said in frustration, "Is it that Chen Dade doesn't know him, Lord Xia can't bear to tell me the news, so ......?"
"I think things should go some way." Qi Jiuli said, "If Chen Dade doesn't know him, Lord Xia should say it directly, after all, if you don't know him, the chance of finding it is slim; But there is also a possibility that Chen Dade has not seen the portrait yet, but I think this is unlikely. β
"Lord Xia is a military attachΓ©, and people who practice martial arts are more temperamental, I think Lord Xia is also thinking about waiting for accurate news to talk about things." Qi Jiuli said, "Brother Gu, don't think too much, to put it mildly, Brother Gu has been waiting for two years, and he doesn't care about these times." β
"yes, I know." Gu Youzhi smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I only have one percent of hope in my heart, the Great Yu Kingdom is so big, there are so many people, my younger brother is young, and I don't know if the person is still there." β
Qi Jiuli didn't know how to comfort him, no matter how much he said, it was just empty words, so he could only pat Gu Youzhi on the shoulder and watch him go to the back kitchen before sighing.
"Jiuli, don't worry too much, many things are actually predetermined." Yan Chengtao comforted, "You've done enough." β
"Now that the tax has been paid, you should also deal with Mingyi's child's affairs, you can rest these days, go back today, and come back when the matter is dealt with." Yan Chengtao said sympathetically, "Your son has now gone through your guidance, and he has made great progress in settling accounts, with him and me, you don't have to worry." β
"Thank you for your understanding." Qi Jiuli sincerely thanked her, to be honest, she was a little embarrassed, since she came to Qiuwei Restaurant, it was only a few months, and she went to Fucheng to rest for a month, but the salary was taken, although she also did her best for Qiuwei Restaurant, and brought benefits, but as an employee, she still felt that she was respected and cared for more than that, maybe it was really the character of the ancients who was more simple.
"Shopkeeper Yan, the kid will go to the back kitchen first." Qi Jiuli said with a smile, "Thinking of asking Uncle Jiang to open a back door and sell some ingredients to the kid, Xiaoyi is about to leave, so I have to cook a few good dishes for him." β
"Go, go."
Qi Jiuli went to the back kitchen, Jiang Houchun learned of the intention, and immediately led Qi Jiuli to see the ingredients, "What do you already have, tell me first?" β
"Pork ribs, black fish, some bacon, eggs, and vegetables at home are not needed at home." Qi Jiuli said.
"You have all the meat, fish and balls, do you still want to buy them?" Jiang Houchun was a little surprised, generally speaking, this kind of food is already very rich.
"Uncle Jiang, do you have beef?" Qi Jiuli leaned in and asked in a low voice.
"Beef?" Jiang Houchun smiled, "It really hurts the child." β
"It's also your luck that I have a small piece today, and I will sell it directly to you." Jiang Houchun smiled and took out a piece of dark red meat, "The best tenderloin, four catties and two taels, you have to count you four catties." β
"Really." Qi Jiuli's face was full of surprise and gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Jiang, you are really this." β
"That kid is also a pitiful, it's not easy for you to have this heart." Jiang Houchun looked at Qi Jiuli, his eyes were full of softness, it was not easy for anyone, and having an extra pair of chopsticks was also a big deal for ordinary peasant families, after all, no one had much food, let alone a stranger who had no relatives.
Qi Jiuli's family is good, Jiang Houchun's impression of Meng Mingyi is also very good, the money for beef was collected from Qi Jiuli, but a basket of things was given, half a freshly slaughtered chicken, a large piece of goose leg meat, a piece of pork tenderloin, and several pears and peaches.
Qi Jiuli couldn't refuse, and returned with a full load, and when he got home, Qi Shixiang and the three of them were busy working in the yard, cleaning up all the vegetables they bought in the morning.
"Eldest sister, what delicious food did you bring?"
"I bought beef at the Autumn Flavor Restaurant, and I will make stir-fried beef for you at night, four catties and two taels, so that you can eat it cool." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.
"I'll make you sweet and sour tenderloin, a sauerkraut fish, a fish head tofu stew, a goose sauce, a chicken soup, and a few more vegetables, anyway, it's delicious at noon and night." Qi Jiuli touched Meng Mingyi's little head and said.
"Now let's go shopping first, and whatever we want to buy and eat, we all say that it's not bad for money."
"Eldest sister, you are so majestic." Qi Shiyi's eyes lit up, and Qi Jiuli felt that it would glow in his eyes.
