Chapter 167: Upstairs in the Peach Blossoms, the Drunken Mantra
Ziying persuaded Xiao Zonghou to settle Mengyan's mother in a spare room, and then asked the doctor for medicine, shh Ying Ying smiled.
Mengyan was already uncontrollable, and her heart was moved to kneel, tears welled up in her eyes, "Mengyan is just a humble little maid, Sister Meng is not regarded as a sister, and now she has a bodhisattva heart to save my sick mother, this great kindness and virtue Mengyan will never forget!" "When he spoke, he prostrated three times.
Seeing this, Ziying hurriedly helped her up, "How can Sister say this, you and I are like sisters, now that you are in trouble, how can I stand idly by." Mengyan wanted to say goodbye, but she couldn't stop crying.
But Wu Shuyuan, who returned home from Jingtai Temple, was still worried about her granddaughter's abduction, and she called Zheng Shijie to ask about the progress of the investigation of the thief, Zheng Shijie seemed to be more confident than before, and immediately promised Wu Shuyuan that the real murderer would be found out after seven days, and if not, he would leave Yanzhou immediately.
One day and night, on the second watch, three or five people gathered in the Peach Blossom Restaurant on North Street to drink and have fun, each with eight points of drunkenness.
"I want to have Pang Shi to lead and protect me, and if I lose money in betting, it will be three points and seven points, who dares to say a contrarian thing! If you bump into Lao Tzu and are unhappy, teach them to ruin their wealth and avoid disasters! The sturdy man raised his voice and said, "Now that I have no back, I really like a mourning dog if I lose money in betting, I dare not speak or be angry, and I have eaten all the ridicule!" Blinded! After saying that, the rest of the people shook their heads and did not answer.
This person is called Huo Xiao, he is strong and strong, and he still has martial arts talent, so that he has a good hand, and three or five people can't get close, he was originally the guard of the Assassin's Mansion, and the waiter Pang Feng saw that he was strong in martial arts, and he was pulled out to be a partial servant, and he was at ease.
However, this guy is a good gambler, and he often loses money, but he relies on Pang Feng's name to be powerful, and the idle people who gamble money in the workshop see that he is unwilling to bet on the table, and they want to escape, but how can they hide, and they are all bluffed by Huo Xiao on the table in a moment.
In this way, Huo Xiao often takes care of the gambling house in his spare time, wins less and loses more, swaggers and swaggers when he wins, and irritable Hu Lai when he loses, flips the table and turns over the stool, making the workshop chaotic, the Hakka family dare not speak, and the main family can only make trouble by him.
Less gossip, more talk.
"I think the two of us are happy to be on an errand in the Assassin's Mansion, but now they have ended up in a small prison! The prison shrew has a temperament, we eat him every day and beat and scold, unreasonable, what is the blood in the bitter cavity? It's all fucking birdishness! A thin-faced man shouted.
"The injury on my leg, I ate that splash stick for no reason a few days ago, and it still hurts today! Look at this frosty weather, it hurts even more! Another thin man shouted.
But it was said that these two people called Zhang Meng and Song Quan, who were originally also guards, but they didn't dare to go back to their homes because they had done evil things, so they fled back to the township to live, and they only found a drudgery in a prison in front of the half moon.
"Alas! My lord is rich, but he is also a picky! Usually, our family has done a lot of hard work, and I don't want to be scolded by this old thing because I accidentally broke a few wine plates a few days ago! I'm so angry! If it weren't for the sake of livelihood, with the strength of our family, I would like to smash his ** with one punch! The man with a big waist complained.
This man was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, flying in all directions, and a good strength, he was also a guard of the Assassin's Mansion, because his father was ill and had no money to see a doctor and grab medicine, and he was in a hurry to do evil things, and he didn't dare to go back.
There was another person during the banquet, called Lu Wei, with a smooth temperament, who was friendly with Huo Xiao when he was a guard, and is now a pawn guarding the city, saying that he made a mistake and was punished to defend the city.
During the meal, Lu Wei was almost silent, or poured wine and vegetables, or accompanied a happy and angry face, or should be a yes, yes, nothing more.
After seven words, Huo Xiao suddenly sighed and said, "When it comes to the Tao, I will complain about Zhu An!" Just as he was about to say more, Song Quan stopped, "Brother Tai, don't mention it again!" If the villain listens to it and spreads it to the house, you and I will lose our lives! The rest of the people are persuaded.
Huo Xiao was angry and willing to rest, "Don't care! Don't care! I'm going to talk about it today! Scold it! A few people couldn't persuade them, so they had to sit. Lu Wei was sober-minded and sober, and he was secretly surprised after listening to Huo Xiao's scolding, but why? It turned out that these people were actually related to Princess Fufeng's two sufferings.
In the morning of the same day, Zheng Xiaoqiao sent Zhu An to lead a team of people to rob and kill Yang Xi and Mother Li, who took away the princess, including Huo Xiao, Zhang Meng and others.
Several people had their own reasons for money, and they were seduced by Zhu An, so they did this evil thing. However, unfortunately, that day, Pang Feng also led Wu Shuyuan's order out of the city to respond, and the two teams of men and horses fought face to face, Huo Xiao and several people were frightened when they saw that it was Pang Feng, and they scattered and fled without fighting a few rounds.
Huo Xiao and the others fled to their respective places, and they didn't dare to show up for five or seven days, but they were still thinking about the heavy money reward promised by Zhu An, and then they thought about how they dared to go back to the house to ask for it as a deserter, and when they were afraid that they would lose their lives, they would just do it.
After that, several people looked for their own livelihoods, and they met again by chance, and they got together to eat and drink in their spare time.
"The most scolding is the sinister and vicious Zheng Scorpion! Guan Bao is the surname Zhu who instructed her! Song Quan was so angry that he scolded, and several people scolded Zheng Xiaoqiao again.
On weekdays, these people talk about Zhu An and Zheng Xiaoqiao, and they are furious every time they mention it, and they are called Zheng Scorpion when they come and go.
Xi San, outside the restaurant, Lu Wei stopped the stumbling few people and said with a smile: "A few benevolent brothers live, why don't you come here tomorrow to finish playing?" Zhang Meng waved his hand and said: "Eating this wine has caught up with the old man for two months, so I won't eat it." Lu Wei said with a smile: "What did the virtuous brother say, tomorrow the little brother of the banquet will come to invite, take care of the wine and food, and accompany the beauties!" ”
Huo Xiao was stunned when he heard this, "If you have a beauty to accompany you?" Lu Wei said with a smile: "How dare the little brother talk nonsense, there must be something!" Huo Xiao said beautifully in his heart: "In this case, if you refuse, you won't live up to the trembling beautiful girl!" Several people laughed when they heard this, and they all responded.
After saying goodbye, Lu Wei stole back to the Assassin's Mansion with close steps, went straight to Zheng Shijie's room, and told the truth about the restaurant.
