Chapter 35: The Beauty of the Alluring City
Several businessmen sent the magistrate Chen out of the door of the box, and then sent him to the door of the restaurant before turning back to the restaurant.
Lord Chen weighed the purse in his hand, stuffed it into his arms with satisfaction, and walked on the street with a swagger. A few more fools gave him money, and he sent it to him now to collect the delicate flowers hidden outside.
Suddenly, a crowd rushed over and knelt at his feet, bowing down to him with gratitude on their faces.
"Lord Chen, you are really the master of the blue sky, you are the benefactor of our whole village. This year's harvest is not good, you personally paid for 10,000 catties of rice to send to our village, each family sent 500 catties, we thank your ancestors for 18 generations. ”
"We are so touched to see that we live in a dilapidated thatched hut and have built new houses for everyone in our village with our own pockets."
"You also built a school for the children in the village to study, and invited a gentleman for them, and Lord Chen, please accept our knees."
“......”
Master Chen was a little confused, had he ever done these things?
The people watching the play around whispered, who doesn't know the virtue of this dog official, he will have such a good heart?
"Lord Chen, a common man, will only collect money to do things, his heart is all green, how can he pay money to buy rice and build a house? Did you recognize the wrong person? ”
Zhongli, who was dressed as an old woman in overseas Chinese costumes, stood next to the crowd and spoke out to everyone.
A prostrate man immediately glared at her.
"I don't allow you to say that, Lord Chen. Lord Chen has the kind appearance of a bodhisattva, and he has also gone down to the ground with us, how can we recognize the wrong person? And there is only one Lord Chen here, and we will not admit mistakes. ”
Lord Chen's reputation is too stinky, and now there are finally a group of fools who put a good name on his head, and he quickly admits it.
Looking at Zhongli Youyou, he straightened his waist: "It's that Lord Ben saw that they had no food to eat and sent them rice, and saw that the place where they lived was too bad, so he helped them rebuild the house and built a school by the way, do you have any opinions?" ”
Standing next to Zhongli Youyou, Qin Jue, who was dressed as a hunched back, held a stick and poked the ground, glaring at Zhongli Youyou.
"People Lord Chen is a bodhisattva who is willing to help, is a good official who can't see the people suffering, as long as he sees the people in difficulty, he is obligated to lend a hand, he has the money to contribute, he has the strength to contribute, he would rather starve to death than let the people starve to death, Lord Chen, am I right?"
"Yes, yes, this official is so loving and selfless, he can't see the people being poor and starving."
Lord Chen hurriedly said, anyway, no one will force him to contribute money and efforts.
Suddenly, another group of people jumped out of nowhere, knelt around Lord Chen and cried for help.
They were dressed in tatters, their faces were so dirty that they couldn't see clearly, and they looked like beggars.
"Doctor Chen, please send us some rice, we haven't eaten in a few years. In the past few years, we can only live by eating tree bark, which is so miserable. ”
"A few days ago, a strong wind blew down all the houses in our village, and we were homeless, begging the adults to build us a new house, but pity us."
The cries for help came one after another, and Lord Chen was a little confused.
What did he just say?
At this time, Zhong Youyou said in a loud voice to those who asked for help: "Don't worry, Master Chen will save you, he is more sad to see you like this than if he hasn't eaten for a few years." Lord Chen is very rich, he has more than 1,000 taels and received the bottom of the stove at No. 21 Fireworks Lane, you come and help Lord Chen get the money, Lord Chen still has a few hundred taels on him, you help Lord Chen get it now. ”
Immediately, there were beggars running towards Fireworks Alley.
Lord Chen was shocked and wanted to stop him, but he was entangled by a few beggars who pounced on him, pressed him to the ground and touched him everywhere, and really found a purse containing more than 100 taels.
Lord Chen shouted for help and robbery, but caused laughter around him.
After a while, the beggars who went to Fireworks Alley came back with more than a thousand taels, and brought a pair of disheveled men and women.
A beggar said, "Let's go get the money and see this pair of bold dogs and men hiding in Lord Chen's house, upside down, Lord Chen, you see how to punish them." ”
Lord Chen saw that the peach blossom mole was untidy and his face was flushed, and the strange man was naked and sweaty, and there was something else he didn't understand.
He cracked his fingers and slapped the peach blossom mole.
"Slut, Lao Tzu is waiting for you with good food and drink, and he gave you more than 1,000 taels as pocket money, you dare to cuckold Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will beat you to death."
Suddenly, an angry voice came.
"Okay, you useless thing, the old lady paid you to buy an official, and let you scavenge the people to eat and drink spicy, you actually raised a bitch behind the old lady's back, and gave her more than a thousand taels, and the old lady beat you to death."
When Lord Chen saw his wife, his soul was scattered.
The obese Mrs. Chen rushed over angrily, she just heard that her husband, who was as well-behaved as a dog, flirted with a beautiful girl on the street and didn't believe it, but she saw this scene.
Her fat big hand was suddenly grabbed, and when she turned her head, she saw a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, with red lips and white teeth.
The beauty stretched out her orchid finger and gently pushed her, and said amorously: "If you want to settle accounts with this negative man, line up first." ”
She crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Lord Chen and complained: "You flowery radish who doesn't count, you don't recognize people when you put on your pants, and you actually used 1,500 taels to raise this slut who said that you would redeem me." Is it because I don't have her to complain? ”
Master Chen was stunned on the spot.
Who is this man?
"Who are you? Don't just wronged me. Don't listen to her, Madam, I don't know her at all. ”
He threw himself over and shivered and hugged Mrs. Chen's thigh.
"It's not enough to raise one, I want to raise two, the old lady is not powerful, you and I are a sick cat."
Mrs. Chen rolled up her sleeves and hit him on the head and face.
Onlookers cheered and clapped their hands.
Peach Blossom Mole and the man took the opportunity to run away, and the Allure Beauty also left in a hurry, and the two groups of people who knelt on the ground to thank and ask for help were gone.
Qin Jue and Zhongli faintly entered the crowd and retreated.
*
In the past few days, you can hear the peachy scandal of Lord Chen in the county on the streets and alleys.
Qin Jue and Zhong Li Youyou had just passed by a street corner, and they heard two people talking about it, and the two of them covered their mouths and laughed.
You can't laugh when you laugh and laugh.
Because there are only thirty copper plates left on the two of them.
More than 1,000 taels were snatched from Lord Chen, and they gave them to the villagers who were acting.
The two of them regretted that they saw those villagers crying bitterly with the money, and their hearts were hot, so they gave them the money, which should have been left for themselves at that time.
In the past few days, there has been no progress in finding the thief by myself, and there is no news from the gopher, so they have been asked to find a job.
Zhongli Youyou said, "What do you say, there are only thirty copper plates left." ”
Qin Jue said: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's spend all the thirty copper plates first and then we will know what to do." ”
