A chilly wind blew, and Qian Laosi, who was tied to the willow tree and half naked, shivered. The whips on his body were still hot and painful, and the pain of this clammy cold and whipping did not offset at all, but each had its own discomfort.

Just as Qian Laosi grinned and snot, he was waiting for the whip to fall again. An adult came, tied up the member outside in a few words, and slapped a few big mouths with the burly and powerful official in the space of three or two sentences!

Qian Laosi blinked vigorously, as if he couldn't believe all this, and saw Zhang Yuanwai's thin face instantly swollen, like a thin-skinned bun! I couldn't help but ignore the whip on my body, Qian Laosi split his big mouth, and laughed out loud.

After the adult finished disposing of Zhang Yuan, he looked back at the few games that had eaten meat and lost.

"My lord, this Zhang is too treacherous, coaxing us to participate in the meat eating competition, and asking us to pay silver, he is ...... Deceive...... Fraud! Among them, there was a Xiucai who had been reading for a few years, wiped his head full of sweat, and hurriedly complained to the prefect.

Zhang Yuanwai was slapped in the mouth, several teeth fell out, his face was swollen, and he couldn't speak at this time, only stared at the scoundrels who ate meat and wanted to cheat, and really wanted to throw these eight sons into the Qiantang River to get angry.

Those who lost, together with Qian Laosi tied to the tree, also came to the spirit, and told the "grievances" one by one, saying that Zhang Yuan had blackmailed their money.

I thought that if Lord Yuan punished Zhang Yuan, they would be able to pick up a leak and eat a meal of meat for nothing, but they heard the prefect say coldly:

"As far as I know, you are willing to participate in this meat-eating competition, and if you lose, you will naturally be willing to gamble and lose."

Zhang Yuanwai's eyes lit up when he heard the swollen face, but he was tied to his arms, so he had to keep nodding. Those who lost the game and wanted to play tricks immediately cried and mourned.

The lord continued: "Each of you shall hand over the silver owed to the prefect's yamen by tomorrow, and then the yamen will buy rice porridge and give it to the poor families on the outskirts of the city. ”

When everyone heard the words of the adult, they were all convinced, and they all bowed down to the wisdom and kindness of the adult.

When the old man who was tied to the tree heard this, he almost fainted, this beating was in vain, and he had to ask the tigress at home for silver when he went back.

"Adult, the small family is poor, can you forgive it, besides...... That Xiaocui ...... "Qian Laosi had no choice but to hesitate to say Xiaocui's name."

The eldest girl brought their family over, and said that their adopted daughter is now the family of the prefect, and their family has never really seen Diancui with this adult, but Yueying can see the little cui wearing red and green slaves shopping in the market.

A few years ago, Xiaocui was bought to the capital, and their family also left Qianjia Village because of a crime, and they have been hiding in Tibet for many years, and they were found last year to end up in Hangzhou Fucheng, which is full of flowers, and heard that their adopted daughter Diancui was a nobleman, but their family is a small person who was scared when they saw the gate of the yamen, but they didn't dare to go in to find their adopted daughter.

However, it is inevitable to be complacent in private, according to Xiaocui's appearance, even if she can't be a wife and a concubine, it is more than enough.

Now that this adult is so heroic and majestic, he has the courage to climb his relatives.

Yuan Zhiheng turned his head and glanced impatiently at Qian Laosi, who was smiling flatteringly. Qian Laosi only saw this adult clearly, and this adult is also young!

"It's you! That thief! Qian Laosi blurted out, their Qian family's generation is greedy for small/cheap, and it is this person who has been rubbed cheap by others for the first time in his life, and Qian Laosi will never forget it in his life.

"Bold!" As soon as Qian Laosi's words came out, several officials on both sides of Yuan Zhiheng and the officials all changed their faces greatly.

Qian Laosi was so frightened by those majestic reprimands that he almost peed his pants, and looked at Yuan Zhiheng in amazement for a long time.

This man...... It was indeed the little thief with blue skin and swollen face who was beaten and beaten on the surface of his house, and he recognized his appearance when he turned to ashes.

Now, this little thief has become an adult?

Qian Laosi felt that he was dizzy with old eyes, if he wasn't tied, this face would have to be seen on Yuan Zhiheng's face. Seeing that he was so powerless, Yuan Lu took the hilt of his sword and pressed his head against the tree.

Being scolded as a thief, Yuan Zhiheng's originally official face flashed with a trace of imperceptible embarrassment, and everyone thought that this prefect with a bad temper was going to be angry again, but this time he touched his nose and impatiently said to untie him, and they were limited to send the silver to the yamen before noon tomorrow.

Speaking of which, it is also true that he once rubbed the table of the fourth family of Qian Laosi and was arrested and beaten...... But this Qian Lao Si dares to climb a little cui, he can't help him go!

A gust of wind blew, like Yuan Zhiheng's sharp eyes with a warning meaning, Qian Laosi shuddered, and didn't dare to say anything, picked up the clothes on the ground and quickly put them on, and then went home in a gray manner.

When he returned home, Qian Laosi didn't dare to tell his mother-in-law about today's events, and wondered how he stole a coin from the money jar in the middle of the night...... Fortunately, after noon, the good old girl came again, and I don't know who she heard about him today, and secretly taught him to find his adopted daughter Dian Cui to find a way, and gave him an address, saying that Dian Cui lived there.

Qian Laosi was skeptical, since Dian Cui was the family of the prefect, he should always live in the yamen, how could he live in a small courtyard behind a shop. It's a pity that he didn't succeed in stealing money in the middle of the night, and he remembered the words of the big girl again, and decided to give it a try anyway.

Yueying once said that she had seen Diancui, and this time Qian Laosi also dragged Yueying out.

"Dad, promise me that I will find her and buy me lard cakes to eat." Qian Yueying is fourteen or fifteen years old, her eyes are rolling, and she is focused on eating.

"Just know how to eat, I beg your sister to let her give you two silver ingots, which are enough for you to eat lard sugar cakes for a lifetime!" Qian Laosi instructed his daughter fiercely.

Qian Yueying followed behind her father, bowed her head and didn't speak, now Diancui is not the one in the ravine back then, she saw her back that day and called softly, Diancui turned her head, that kind of style is not comparable to those noble wives in their county. For such a lady, she was worried from the bottom of her heart, where would she dare to step forward.

But her father said again that as long as she pleases Dian Cui, she can eat lard sugar cakes for a lifetime!

Qian Laosi's father and daughter took a dung truck and walked halfway, entered the city and walked for a long time, Qian Yueying's stomach gurgled, crying and mourning Daddy, I am hungry, Qian Laosi slapped her on the back of the head, and scolded You can't die of hunger, Lao Tzu hasn't shouted hunger yet, hey, this hurts, hurry up! If you lose money, you will know how to eat, and you will know that you will find someone on the road and sell you......

Thinking like this, Qian Laosi's eyes lit up, and he turned around and snorted coldly at Qian Yueying, "This time, if you turn your face and don't recognize people and refuse to give silver, Lao Tzu will sell you for silver to pay off your debts!"

When Qian Yueying heard that she was going to sell herself, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say that she was hungry anymore.

The father and daughter soon came to the door of Angelica Pavilion, and Qian Laosi's eyes widened and he muttered in his mouth, "My mother, is this the palace?"

Qian Yueying looked at the towering pavilion and was dumbfounded, is this building made of gold, but gold is golden, it is colorful, and under the light of the setting sun, it emits a dazzling light.

Naturally, they didn't know that it was not made of gold, but was pasted with five-colored glass, and when there was daylight during the day, it was colorful, and at night the bright lights in it could emit a soft light through the glass. It is this shop that has become the most eye-catching place on this street both day and night.

In addition to the capital, the shops in Hangzhou are like this, and the Angelica Pavilion in other places is built with this appearance and material, but the size is different. This is also a treasure left by the female head of the family who returned home a hundred years ago to future generations. It's a pity that now except for the shops in Beijing and Hangzhou, the others are sold for emergencies, how to take back step by step, it will be a long and arduous process for the family to return, which is not to be mentioned.

"Let's go!" Qian Laosi urged Qian Yueying to enter the door, he only heard that Xiaocui also had a jewelry shop in Hangzhou Mansion as a dowry, who knew that this shop was different from the shop he knew, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he only urged his daughter to go in quickly.

Qian Yueying was afraid of being sold and went inside, so Qian Laosi followed behind, and her eyes kept looking at this shop that was much softer than the eyes outside.

Recently, the business in the shop has not been very good, only a few young ladies of the official family are idly picking up jewelry, and a few are eating tea and chatting. When the four fathers and daughters came in, their tattered clothes were covered with putty and dirt, which was incompatible with the shop and the well-dressed people inside, and immediately attracted attention.

Several noble ladies looked at the two of them with disgust, and they pinched their noses and left. The good customers were smoked away, the little maid who ran the hall frowned, and the little maid who welcomed the guests outside the hall reluctantly said to the shopkeeper that these two people knew our owner and wanted to see the owner.

"Who are you two, and how do you know our host?" Although the shopkeeper Zhang is helpless, their shop has always had a rule, and they are not allowed to pick people up as casually as other shops, even if they are really called Huazi, they must be politely invited out.

"I, I...... You said! Qian Laosi dragged Qian Yueying hard.

Qian Yueying was nervous, grinning and almost crying, and stammered: "I'm Qian Yueying, he's my father, we ...... I'm Cui...... No, no, your host's sister. ”

"Your name is Qian Yueying, what about you?" Shopkeeper Zhang frowned and asked Qian Laosi.

"The little old man's name is Qian Laosi, and he came to find his relatives." Qian Laosi immediately flattered and laughed.

The second shopkeeper Li Qingshan was walking out of the inner room, heard the name of Qian Laosi, and saw their father and daughter again, paused in his footsteps, hurriedly retreated, and entered the inner courtyard to let Du Xiaozhu inform his wife, saying that Qian Laosi had found him.
