Chapter 9 Thirty Taels
It was already midnight when Xie Yao returned home, he hurriedly took a shower and lay on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Tonight, it's really exciting.
One will be the two confessing in the lobby, one will be the two of them stopping Liu Qisang's carriage, and the other will be the death of Qian Wei of the Spring Restaurant...... Every bit was replayed in Xie Yao's mind.
Either way, the case is finally closed.
The summer night was not cold, Xie Yao was lying on the bed in the shape of a figure eight with a thin quilt, frowning in his sleep.
Until a loud shout came to mind, "Get out!" ”
Xie Yao opened his eyes suddenly, exhaled in one breath, and sat up with a bone, so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What the hell!
She cursed in a low voice, and looked up, it was already bright outside the house, and there was a slight noise in the courtyard, thinking that Aunt Ming was busy getting up early.
Xie Yao got up, changed his clothes and opened the door of the house, Aunt Ming was fetching water next to the well, and when she saw her get up, she said, "Breakfast is in the kitchen, eat a little and then go." ”
After Xie Yao washed up, he had breakfast and rushed to the yamen.
She came early today, thinking that there were not many people at the entrance of the yamen, but as soon as she stepped in, she saw everyone in the lobby from a distance, her face was full of joy, and she didn't know what she was doing around Wu Kuan.
"Haruka!"
Liu Zhongkui's voice came from behind him, and he quickly climbed up to her shoulder and said, "Come so early?" Are you going too? ”
Xie Yao said lazily, "Where are you going?" ”
Liu Zhongkui said, "You still don't know? Go to the capital, Lord Chu will select ten good skills in the yamen, and escort the birthday gang into Beijing with him. ”
"Birthday?"
Liu Zhongkui said, "July 26 is the seventieth birthday of King Liang, King Liang's student Han Lin specially prepared a copy of the birthday compendium, in order to show sincerity, Han Lin was going to personally escort him, but there was a change in the family, the cabinet Chu Ge Lao and Liang Wang chatted about it, at that time, Lord Chu was handling a case in Danzhou, very close to Han Lin, Chu Ge Lao let his grandson go to help with this trip. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Xie Yao shook his head and said, "Don't go, the capital is too far away." ”
She only offended Chu Zhao last night, and if she rushed up again at this time, wouldn't she be uncomfortable.
Everyone in the lobby was very interested, but Xie Yao stayed away, found a place to doze off, it was the scorching heat, the heat was unbearable, she closed her eyes and was drowsy, thinking that the end of the month, the monthly money was almost time to be paid, the uncle's body has not been very good, he has not stopped taking medicine all these years, and the monthly money has been paid, which is enough for the family to spend for a while.
Someone passed by outside the file room, and the sound of conversation was heard.
"Are you going or not? It's a great opportunity to get out and see the world. ”
"If you don't go, you can't go, my wife and children at home are old and young, and I can still leave them."
"Don't you really go? I can sign up, I heard that the food and accommodation are all in charge of Lord Chu, and when the birthday gang is delivered, there will be an additional thirty taels of hardship. ”
"Don't go, don't go, don't ......"
Xie Yao woke up more than half of the time.
She stood up, found her hat and put it on, went out of the file room, searched in the yamen for a while, and finally found Liu Zhongkui in the backyard, coincidentally, he was pestering Wu Kuan and didn't know what he was talking about.
Xie Yao trotted forward and said, "Head, I'm going to the capital too!" ”
Liu Zhongkui said, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't go?" ”
"You didn't make it clear just now, there are still thirty taels of silver when you go to the capital."
When Liu Zhongkui heard this, he couldn't look at her directly, glanced at her, and said with disgust, "I know that you, a money fan, can't bear it when you hear that there is a reward." ”
Cut!
Xie Yao ignored him and said, "Head, just let me go, I haven't been out yet." ”
Wu Kuan looked at her pretending to be a lady, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's go, it just so happens that Zhongkui is also going, what can take care of you along the way, set off in the afternoon, hurry home and pack your things." ”
Wu Kuan selected ten people and took the list to Wang Xiuhua to see.
In the backyard, Xie Yao asked, "I listened to what Tou just said, won't Zhongyuan go?" ”
Liu Zhongkui replied, "There must always be one in the family, and the eldest brother is not very interested in the outside world, so he is afraid that he will have to change his career to business in the future." ”
Xie Yao said, "Doing business? Can Zhongyuan work? ”
"He seems to be learning now, and someone has to take over the work at home."
The Liu family is doing a business of selling cloth, although the scale is not very large, but in the East Lane, it is also considered a wealthy family, the Liu family only has two sons in Zhongyuan Zhongkui, when they were young, the two of them did not do much to splash the skin, and took Xie Yao and the three of them to stir up the entire East Lane so that everyone saw them, and they all said, "Yo, where are the three monkeys going today?"
From going down to the river to fishing, stealing vegetables in the field, to leading children to gather to fight and fight, their glorious deeds have been spread all over the East Lane in three days.
The Liu family looked at it, and if it goes on like this for a long time, it's okay! donated money to get two errands, and sent the two brothers to the yamen on an errand, and if they couldn't manage it, someone could naturally manage it.
After half a year, the two brothers were reborn and suddenly matured and stabilized.
Xie Yao and Liu Zhongkui walked out while talking, and just stepped out of the yamen, only to see that not far from the yamen, Wang Sheng was pulling a five-year-old child to walk slowly on the street, the child pointed to the rice cake on the side, Wang Sheng shook his head embarrassedly, as if he was talking to him about something.
When the two approached, they heard Wang Sheng say, "Liu'er, I didn't bring any money today, and I'll buy it when we go home." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave with the child, but Xie Yao said, "Wait." ”
She took out three copper coins, handed them to the boss, took the rice cake, walked two steps closer and handed it to the child, and said with a smile, "Here, my sister invites you to eat." ”
Liu'er looked at Xie Yao, and then at Wang Sheng, and saw that he had no opinion, so she happily took the rice cake and took a bite.
Wang Sheng said, "Thank you, girl." ”
Xie Yao bowed his head and watched the two go away.
Liu Qisang didn't want to run away last night, she just wanted to settle her son, maybe after that, she would go to the yamen to turn herself in.
Bad people are not necessarily really bad people, and what you think is a good person is not a good person, this absurd world......
Xie Yao returned home and made it clear to Aunt Ming that she was going to the capital, in fact, as long as Xie Yao started, Aunt Ming never said a word, but the capital was too far away, and Xie Yao was a girl's family, so she hesitated and said, "Yaoyao, the capital is so far away, or don't ...... it."
Xie Yao knew what she was worried about, and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Zhongkui will go too, he will take care of me along the way, just escorting things, not a big deal." ”
Aunt Ming saw that she was very interested, thinking that she was suffocated in this Cangxian County, and it was not necessary to go out for a walk, since someone was taking care of her, her heart was much more stable, and she instructed, "Okay, you have to be careful on the road, but don't hurt and knock." ”
"Got it, auntie."
Aunt Ming returned to the house, quickly took out the money bag, counted it, stuffed it into Xie Yao's baggage, and said, "This is one or two pieces of silver, your uncle's salary just issued the day before yesterday, you take it and spend it on the road." ”
Xie Yao was stunned, hurriedly took out the money, and said, "Auntie, this is not good, I have money, and I can eat and drink on the road, I don't need the money, you quickly collect it." ”
She stuffed the money back to Aunt Ming, and Liu Zhongkui's voice sounded outside the house, "Yaoyao, it's time to go, it's going to be too late, but it's troublesome." ”
Xie Yao picked up the burden, took the saber, ran out, and said, "Auntie, wait for me to come back at home." ”
Aunt Ming chased her out of the house, and couldn't help but admonish again, "Yaoyao, be careful on the road." ”
"Got it."
