Chapter 19: Two Brothers
Although the mother-in-law was still a little skeptical, the little maid said that this was the White Mansion, and if this Taoist priest wanted to play any tricks, would it be difficult to run away?
As soon as she heard it, she was reasonable, and the sixth aunt in the house was too addicted to smoking from time to time, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
"How much silver?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head: "It's not silver, it's gold!" ten taels of gold and a tael of anointing. ”
The mother-in-law paused for a moment in taking the money bag, raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise, and exclaimed, "So expensive?!" The Cao family didn't sell it so expensive! ”
"Then you can buy it from the Cao family! What do you do when you are looking for a poor road? The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and prepared to leave with his sleeves brushed up.
At this moment, a hoarse and lazy voice stopped him: "Dao Chief, stay here." ”
The old Taoist priest's eyes flashed with slyness, paused, and turned around.
I saw a beautiful woman with loose hair, bare legs, and only a fox fur shawl on her body, leaning against the door frame.
Her eyes were slightly red, and the undersides of her eyes were also a little black, and she looked like she was deeply affected by cigarette addiction.
"A few hundred taels of gold, I can still afford it." The beauty glanced at her, and the woman had to bow her head and go to the account room to get the money.
After this vacancy, the beauty invited the old Taoist priest into the house to drink tea.
Miao Miaomiao came out of Si Yubai's arms at this time to breathe.
Seeing an oily and slippery fat black cat in the old Taoist's arms, the beauty's eyes lit up: "Isn't this the cat I had yesterday?" ”
Si Yubai rubbed the cat's chin: "At this time, the cat of the poor road, because of the greedy play and running away during the day yesterday, disappeared, and only returned to the poor road at night. ”
"So...... It turned out to be a cat of the Taoist ......"
The other party was a little disappointed when he heard this.
"Since Aunt Sixth likes her so much, then Poor Dao will give you this cat!" After that, he pulled the bewildered black cat out of his clothes and sent it to the beauty's arms.
Miao Miaomiao didn't understand what was going on at this time.
It's not written in this script!
Why did you send her out again?!
At this moment, I heard a maid outside hurriedly running in to report: "Sixth aunt, uncle is here!" ”
After hearing this, the beauty muttered: "He doesn't go to guard his brother, what is he doing here?" ”
Before the words fell, a man in his thirties strode in, followed by the mother-in-law who went to the account room for change.
When the beauty saw this, she knew what he was talking about.
She got up lazily to greet him, and greeted him without being salty.
Bai Chi glanced at the Taoist priest and asked angrily, "You are here to sell cigarettes?" A Taoist priest resells tobacco to make money, what kind of Tao does he cultivate? ”
Si Yubai was not annoyed, and stroked his gray beard and laughed twice: "Poor Dao is just solving problems for the sixth aunt." Fang Cai Poor Dao chatted with the sixth aunt for a long time, and learned that she had thoughts of suicide from time to time over the years, and it must not be a happy place. ”
Miao Miaomiao was a little surprised, how could her master dare to say anything?
This is someone else's territory!
Sure enough, Si Yubai's words angered Bai Chi and ordered the family to drive the sloppy Taoist priest out of the house.
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was carried away, the sixth aunt was too completely outburst.
pushed off all the tea sets on the table, and was so frightened that Miao Miaomiao's hair jumped upside down on the windowsill.
The maids retreated one after another, not daring to step forward.
The woman pointed at Bai Chi and shouted hysterically, "What are you two going to torture me into before you are willing?!" ”
Two?
Miao Miaomiao pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Bai Chi panicked now, and immediately hugged her to comfort: "Don't make trouble, okay?" The second child is dead...... I won't be nice to you......"
Miao Miaomiao was a little stunned when she heard it, could it be that this sixth aunt is too related to these two brothers?
"I want cigarettes...... Bai Cai has turned me into this, and I will never forgive him for the rest of my life! Even if he dies, I curse him to suffer in purgatory under hell! ”
The woman trembled, her fists clenched, her scarlet nails digging into her flesh.
Bai Chi hugged her tighter in distress: "I will definitely cure you." ”
Miao Miaomiao really couldn't stand the two of them arguing for a while, and she was tired and crooked, so she slipped to the stove and began to nap.
In a trance, I saw a familiar back.
White money?!
She woke up suddenly, but the back turned around, but it was Bai Chi.
The two brothers are so similar.
……
Twilight.
Dry wells outside the walls of the government.
A teenager was on his legs and ready to jump down.
As a result, when I looked out, I found that the well had been filled.
"Who is so fast with a thousand knives!"
She was filled to death in just one day, isn't this sincere not to let her go back to prison!
As she cursed and tried to find another way, a large knife was already on her neck.
"It's finally waiting for you......"
At this moment, Miao Miaomiao almost scared her tail out.
She didn't even notice anyone approaching.
This guy is definitely a master!
She smiled and raised her hands: "This ...... This hero's subordinates are merciful, please feel free to rob money and sex...... Just don't want me to die......"
Unexpectedly, the person behind him laughed: "Don't be afraid, my lord, the lower official is the official of the imperial court, and he will not rob money." ”
As soon as she heard that it was a colleague, Miao Miaomiao became bolder, and immediately turned around when the other party collected the knife.
I saw a thin middle-aged man wearing a black cloak standing in front of him.
This person Miao Miaomiao knows, it is the Taishou of Mi County - He Youwei.
"Oops! It turned out to be He Taishou! I'm just bored and running out to breathe. Isn't this going back, but I don't know who blocked the road......" she pointed to the dry well, "Besides, everyone is an official of the same dynasty, and they don't have to hold my neck with a knife, right?" ”
"Knives?" He Youwei smiled and said, "Can you see what I have in my hand?" ”
Miao Miaomiao looked down and saw that it was actually a wooden cane.
How could she clumsily see this thing as a knife?!
Could it be that after staying in the sixth aunt's room for a long time, her brain was damaged by second-hand smoke?
At this time, several arresters rushed over to report that there were no suspicious people nearby.
He Youwei nodded reassuringly, let Miao Miaomiao put on a cloak, and followed him into the official mansion.
As soon as he entered the Taishou study, He Youwei threw away his crutches, walked up to her tremblingly, and knelt down with a "poof".
If it weren't for the thick winter clothes, this man's kneecaps would have broken a long time ago, right?
When the time comes, just throw away the crutches and go to a wheelchair.
I don't know if it's pain or other reasons, He Youwei knelt on the ground and cried like rain.
"The lower officials are incompetent! After one year and two months of being appointed as the Taishou of Mijun, although the lower officials saw that the people of Mijun were living in dire straits, they could only watch and see that they couldn't do anything......"
As soon as Miao Miaomiao heard that this person had come to show her loyalty, she asked, "What is your purpose in putting me in prison even though you know that I have been wronged?" ”
He Youwei sighed: "If your Excellency does not enter the prison of this official mansion, the king of Nami County and the three major families will use this as an excuse to spread rumors that the court officials know the law and break the law, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in vain......"
"Then if I go to prison, doesn't it mean that our court is incompetent and is arbitrarily manipulated by that vassal king?"
"This just shows that we and King Mijun are not the same people! As long as the adults clear their grievances in public, they will be able to win the hearts of the people! ”
