Chapter 59: The Extras
Everyone is gossiping about how bad Wei County's order is, and suddenly there is a sound of running and shouting in the long alley.
Song Qingzhi unconsciously grabbed the sleeve of Ritsu Zichuan: No one should run to the chengguan so late, could it be the person who came to arrest him?
Ritsu Zichuan only patted her hand lightly: "Don't worry, you can adapt when the time comes." ”
Su Da saw that everyone's faces were changing, and he hurriedly comforted: "Maybe it's a drunk person." ”
Suddenly, there was a bang, someone almost tripped over the threshold, and in the screams of the big girls, someone broke in, it was a girl with a disheveled hair and blood stains on her clothes.
Qingzhi stepped forward to see what was going on, and the girl looked up at her and said, "It's you!" ”
Aunt Lin also came over to help the girl and said in surprise: "Second girl, why were you beaten like this?!" ”
The sound of scolding came from the alley, and Aunt Lin and Chen glanced at each other, and Chen immediately opened the counter door and let Aunt Lin help the second girl into the kitchen.
Su Da followed and said, "Go and dig the place where I stored the radishes a few days ago......"
Song Qingzhi: I'm the boss! Don't do that!
She glanced at Ritsu Zichuan, she felt that the second girl Wei was very pitiful, but if she attracted people from the government, what would Ritsu Zichuan do?
There was already a sound of chasing soldiers scolding outside the store, Song Qingzhi raised his hand and lifted the cabinet door: she wants them to hand over the second girl Wei to protect Lu Zichuan, Miss Wei is the biological daughter of the county commander of Wei, can the county order still do anything to her?
Ritsu Zichuan stretched out his hand to block her, shook his head and whispered to her, "It's okay." ”
Three or four soldiers from the county government entered the store, and the rest still chased forward.
The soldier who entered the store was holding a torch, glanced at everyone obliquely, and saw that Ritsukogawa's expression was calm, as if he was in charge here, and asked him, "Do you see a woman running by?" ”
Ritsu Zichuan said: "I just wrote the account on the counter, although I heard the noise, but I didn't pay attention to the things in the streets, I really don't know." ”
Seeing that the counter was indeed some distance from the store door, the official snorted and asked the ladies sitting at the door of the store, "What about you?" What do you see? ”
Aoeda's heart rose to his throat.
She remembered the aunts who played basketball for the square dance venue; I thought of the aunts who let the bear child smash the young man's figure; I also remembered the aunts who slapped the girls on the bus and forced people to give up their seats.
They'll say it.
Sure enough, Aunt Li said very doggedly: "I saw it, I saw it!" We see it all the better! A girl with loose hair and a dog-like cut, right? ”
The official nodded impatiently: "Where is it?" ”
Song Qingzhi looked at Aunt Li viciously, and Ritsu Zichuan gently pulled her behind him.
Behind Lu Zichuan, she clearly heard Aunt Li say attentively: "Over there! I ran quite fast, but I was able to see clearly that my hair had been cut thanks to my good eyes! ”
Other ladies also chimed in.
"Oops! It's still a young man with good legs and feet, and he runs up and rubs! ”
"The lantern didn't hit either! In the blink of an eye, it was gone! ”
"That's it! Your Excellency, don't you chase after you? ”
The official snorted and walked behind the counter to see if the kitchen and backyard were hidden, not that he was particularly suspicious of this shop, but that there were two people all the way, chasing and searching.
Chen and Su Da were picking up something in the kitchen, but there was no one in the backyard, so the official just took a look, and returned to the front with the intention of leaving.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Ritsu Zichuan thought something was wrong, and sure enough, the official was faintly aware of the strangeness of the eldest lady's mood, and he was puzzled, and went to the backyard again.
The door of the thatched house was closed, and the official was about to push the door, but the person inside hurriedly said: "Don't push, don't push!" I'm coming out! ”
Aunt Lin opened the door and came out, pretending to be stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Please use it first!" ”
The official went in to take a look, although there was no one else in the thatched house, he was still a little suspicious in his heart, and said to the two subordinates: "Look carefully in this backyard!" ”
Under the cover of her sleeves, Song Qingzhi stretched out her hand and held it tightly with Lu Zichuan, her palms were sweaty, and Lu Zichuan whispered to her: "It's okay, even if you find out and blame us, at most send some silver money to Wei County, don't worry." ”
Thinking that it was really easy to do things with money, Song Qingzhi calmed down a little, and then began to feel sorry for money again.
At this time, an old man's trembling voice suddenly came from outside the door: "One generation is not as good as the next!" Everyone has run away, and the officials are still here asking questions! My old man lived to be more than ninety years old! I've never seen such a unproductive official! One generation is not as good as the next! Am I living to see these things? It's better to be killed! ”
The two men went out to scold the old man, and the old man quarreled with the two officers and soldiers, and the official in the backyard heard it and frowned and went to the front.
The Zhou people respect the elderly, and when the official saw that the old man looked to be eighty or ninety years old, he couldn't help but arch his hand and asked, "The old man can see a woman who is scattered?" ”
"Why didn't you see it? It's immoral! Women's capes are scattered and sprinting in the streets! Lishan Town is coming to an end! One generation is not as good as the next! ”
The official said, "Where did you go?" ”
Aunt Li interjected: "Ahem! Look at this adult! Memory is so bad! I didn't tell you just now, was it over there? He pointed at it.
Other ladies also chimed in.
"We didn't even pay attention to what we were talking about!"
"That's it! I don't care about doing things! ”
"I don't think it's that I don't care, you see, the official has little hair, it should be a bad memory."
The official felt an arrow in his heart, and stopped the ladies viciously.
The old man pointed with his hand, which was exactly the direction that Aunt Li was pointing at, and said, "Over there." ”
Aunt Lin took a look and asked, "I guess it's Miss Wei Er?" She is good friends with the girl of the rouge shop, and the Huang family of the rouge shop doesn't live over there! ”
The official heard the reason, and then took the people with him.
Before everyone could ease up, the old man snorted coldly and said, "Don't go and dig that girl out of the cellar yet!" Have the ability to hide people, but don't have the ability to deal with officials? I was anxious when I saw it upstairs next door! If I hadn't come out to cover it up, wouldn't you all be unlucky? It's really not as good as the generation! ”
The ladies perfunctory a few words to him, and the old man said: "You young mothers-in-law are just useless, you know how to chat around that milk doll all day long!" If it weren't for Su Da bringing me a bowl of hot wontons every day, I wouldn't be able to help you! ”
Song Qingzhi: Uncle, dare to ask if the young mother-in-law you said mean the eldest lady? Who is the milk doll? Ritsu Zichuan?
Su Da helped the old man home.
Chen and Aunt Lin hurriedly went to help Wei Er out of the radish cellar dug by Su Da a few days ago, the cellar was very small, and it was so late at night that if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the exit, and she wasn't seen by the official.
Everyone closed the door, tied up the hair of Wei Er, rinsed the wound with water, and talked around her to ask.
Second Miss Wei never said a word, Aunt Lin thought for a long time, and said: "Second girl, in this case, you might as well go to Puji Temple overnight and cut your hair to be a nun, so that it will be too late for them to find you tomorrow." ”
Second Miss Wei still had a faint expression, and the other ladies had already answered on her behalf.
"No, no, no! Where does Puji Temple dare to accept it? ”
"Even if you accept it, the Nangong officials dare to look for it!"
When it came to Nangong Qing, everyone had a chill, and the second girl Wei also shuddered.
Lu Zichuan didn't speak, and then walked over and said, "Ladies go back first, Second Miss Wei will stay with us tonight, and then let's go back tomorrow." ”
Song Qingzhi: Huh? He can't be in love with Wei Er, right? After all, the second girl Wei has a dignified appearance and a calm personality......
The eldest ladies immediately dispersed obediently, and Wu Dalang and Su Da were a little worried before leaving, but Ritsu Zichuan nodded and signaled that it was okay, and they went.
