Chapter 7: Let Us Live
Zhao Si naturally knew what these people were thinking.
Hurriedly leaned forward and whispered, "It's the peony girl, it's convenient." ”
Several of the soldiers laughed when they heard this.
I see.
White peony is a famous Qing people in Yangzhou City.
If you don't return all night, you will naturally have a bad reputation.
But that's all there is to it, and these soldiers are naturally not surprised.
It's actually not bad to take advantage of being young and famous to find a gold owner.
"And the one in the back?"
A soldier pointed to the palanquin behind him.
It's not the first time that White Peony hasn't returned all night, but it's usually only one person.
Why did you bring someone today.
"it."
Before Zhao Si could explain, an older soldier scolded.
As long as it's not a thief, just take the money well, and the rest of the people don't care what they do.
And even if it's a thief, as long as you don't make trouble, you don't have to worry so much.
The soldiers at the bottom are all Han Chinese, so naturally there is no resistance to these righteous men of the former Ming Dynasty.
It's just that they, as ordinary people, are just going with the flow.
Bai Peony and his entourage successfully passed through the city gate, which made Bai Peony also breathe a sigh of relief.
Early in the morning, there were no people on the street, and it was deserted.
Zhao Si was already familiar with the road and walked through the back door with a sedan chair.
When he arrived at the place, before Bai Peony could command, Zhao Si beckoned a few palanquin drivers to go out and closed the door.
The helper must have eyesight, so that people are satisfied and want to use you again next time.
Before, Bai Peony deliberately took Zhao Si and the others away, definitely not wanting people to see the people in the sedan chair.
How can Zhao Si be ignorant.
Bai Peony glanced around, the courtyard was deserted, and there was not even a ghost.
"It's here, come out."
Zhu Ming was almost suffocated in the sedan chair.
I used to see others sitting in a sedan chair, but when I actually sat up, I swayed, and the whole person was about to fall apart.
People were also shaken and dizzy.
I don't know why those ancient people liked to sit in a sedan chair so much, this is simply a sin.
Zhu Ming looked around.
The yard is not large, surrounded by houses, two floors, and richly decorated.
"What is this place?"
Zhu Ming was puzzled for a while.
White Peony naturally didn't have time for Zhu Ming to explore slowly.
Once the image of Zhu Ming is seen, it will definitely cause big trouble.
Where did the white peony dare to let Zhu Ming stand here all the time.
took Zhu Ming all the way back to his house, but fortunately he didn't meet anyone, which is also a great luck in misfortune.
White Peony was completely relieved at this time.
Now there are no scruples, Bai Peony went downstairs to play Zhao Si and a few sedan chair men.
I went around the front yard again, found a small servant, and sent him to buy a monk's robe.
The clothes Zhu Ming is wearing now are definitely inappropriate.
And Zhu Ming's hair can't be hidden, no matter whether Zhu Ming is a monk or not, he can only let him be a monk for a few days first.
At this time, Bai Peony didn't know Zhu Ming's intentions, nor did he know how long Zhu Ming would stay here.
But everything has to go according to the worst-case scenario.
However, what White Peony did not expect was that the worst-case scenario was not here.
The two gamblers Liu Hua and Zhang Yu who were scared away by Zhu Ming before.
When the two first saw Zhu Ming, they were almost frightened.
But these two are also mischievous.
Once they didn't feel threatened, the two of them became emboldened again.
"I've heard that this thief has a lot of money."
Liu Hua's eyes lit up a little at this time.
For this kind of bad gambler, silver is much more important than life.
Zhang Yu also smacked his lips, and his heart was also boiling.
But in the end, they were just splashing skin, and they didn't even know that the yamen was open in one direction.
It's just that I know some of the officials on the street.
Let the two of them arrest Zhu Ming, they naturally don't have the guts.
But if it's just a ventilation message, that's not much of a problem.
"Otherwise, let's go find Wang Bantou."
After Liu Hua finished speaking, he was also distressed, and his heart was dripping blood.
If you go to Wang Bantou, then this reward will definitely have to be divided a large amount.
These servants, whose income is very low, live by eating the ground.
Usually I have to scrape the ground when I have nothing to do.
This is this kind of money-making thing, how can you let it go.
But it's better than nothing, at least you can drink a mouthful of soup.
And when he flattered Wang Bantou, when he really couldn't get along, he also went to the yamen to mingle, so that he wouldn't starve to death.
The two made up their minds and didn't dare to go directly to the yamen to find it, but found a street corner and squatted in the corner and waited.
Sometimes these servants are poor and insane, and they take what they see.
If you have nothing to do, don't you fall into the yamen?
However, these officials have to patrol the streets, and they will definitely pass by here.
The two of them waited for most of the day, and they were almost hungry with their chests on their backs.
Yesterday I gambled all night, and yesterday I didn't eat anything during the day and didn't sleep.
At this time, the hungry stomachs of the two were growling, although they were drowsy, but they couldn't sleep, they were cold, hungry and tired.
And the two of them don't have a penny on them, so even if they want to buy a bun pad, they can't do it.
The two wanted to go home first to eat something and sleep, but after waiting for so long, they were unwilling.
If you go late and let the thief run away, it will be empty.
The two of them were eager to see through, but finally waited for Wang Bantou.
What made the two excited was that they were full of tears, as if they had seen their own parents.
"Wang Bantou, I'm waiting for you."
The two of them rushed out almost at the same time, startling Wang Bantou and several officials patrolling the streets.
Some officials even drew half of their knives.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were suddenly frightened.
"You two thieves, if you dare to attack the official, you must be a thief, take it back."
A few officials wanted to find a way to get a few people, but it happened that Liu Hua and Zhang Yu bumped into each other.
If there are dates or not, knock on two poles first.
The two of them were a little frightened at this time.
If he is really brought back, a severe beating will definitely be inevitable, and in the end, he will definitely have to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
"Wang Bantou, it's us, we have something important to look for you."
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu rushed forward.
"Hmm."
Wang Bantou was also puzzled, but these two people did seem to be a little kind.
But if you don't know it, you can only treat it as if you don't know it.
If anyone on the street does not bow their heads and do not look up, if they all give face, then how will the brothers live in the future?
Several officials originally thought that they were acquaintances of Wang Bantou, and planned to give Wang Bantou face, and these two people did not look like rich masters.
Seeing that Wang Bantou denied it, several officials were immediately overjoyed.
These two people have to be cleaned up, even if it is a stone, they have to squeeze out two taels of oil.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were really frightened now.
At this time, where did the two of them still care about those bounties.
"Wang Bantou, we are here to denounce the thief."
"We're not thieves."
"We don't want the silver reward, we just ask Wang Bantou to let us live."
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were emotionally out of control at this time, crying and crying.
