Chapter 107

Maybe it was A-Xing's promise that had an effect. Perhaps in order to reduce the guilt of the snake herder, the snake herder confessed in court that he was Li Si's mastermind. Because Zhang Qingshan did not directly contact the snake releaser in this matter, the snake releaser could only testify against Li Si, and Zhang Qingshan could not be moved. But as we all know, Li Si is Zhang Qingshan's right-hand man, how can Zhang Qingshan get out of this matter? But because Zhang Qingshan has the backstage of Lord Fucheng, the government naturally did not investigate deeply, but Li Si could not escape the responsibility, after all, there were so many people to testify about this matter, and the crowd was turbulent. The government did not dare to show too much favoritism.

As a result, Li Si was sentenced to five years in a hard labor camp for the crime of instigating the release of snakes, and the snake herder was beaten with 50 boards, but because no one was injured as a result, the circumstances were not serious. So he was only sentenced to two years in prison.

Before Li Si went to the hard labor camp, Zhang Qingshan met him through a relationship.

In the prison, Li Si looked depressed, his beard was messy, and his face was haggard. Zhang Qingshan said to Li Si through the wooden fence: "You didn't confess to me this time, and if you resist this matter alone, I will also take good care of your family according to the agreement." ”

Li Si nodded dejectedly, then let out a long sigh. "I didn't expect that I planned so carefully this time, but it still fell short! Not only did it not hurt Tingsong in the slightest, but he also got himself in! I didn't expect this Ah Xing to be so witty, she was not afraid of danger at a young age, she was not surprised by changes, and she turned defeat into victory...... It's me who underestimates her too much! He raised his head, looked at Zhang Qingshan and persuaded: "Master Zhang, now that Zhang Shan and I are not by your side, and Tingsong has already gained a foothold in Jincheng, then Li Xing and Ling Zifeng are not easy people to deal with, Zhang Ye listens to Li Siyi's words, don't think about dealing with Tingsong anymore, if Qingyun can stick to it, he will continue to operate, if not, Zhang Ye should find another livelihood!" ”

Zhang Qingshan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, although he was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that what Li Si said was good. But he threw a lot of money into Qingyun, how much loss should it be for him to give up like this? And these two events have made him lose face, how can he be willing?

But what if you are unwilling? There are almost no available people around him now, and Lord Fucheng has lost patience with him, what else can he do?

On the other side, Ah Xing also went to the cell to meet Jiang Hai, the snake releaser, and told him that she had taken care of the cell head as promised, and he would not suffer in the cell in the future. The other 100 taels of silver, as soon as he gets out of the prison door, he can go to the theater to find her to get it. She's not going to pay her bills.

But she didn't think about it, Jiang Hai knelt down in front of her through the prison door and kowtowed heavily. Ah Xing was startled and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" "She's just kept her promise, it's not a big favor!

Jiang Hai raised his head and said, "Girl, I don't want your money, I just want to be able to do things for the girl after I get out of prison, and ask the girl to take Jiang Hai in when the time comes!" ”

"Take you in?" Ah Xing hesitated, what kind of good person can a person who can put poisonous snakes in the theater? Can such a person stay around?

Jiang Hai saw Ah Xing's hesitation, and hurriedly said, "I know what the girl is hesitating about!" The girl didn't know, this time Li Si originally hinted that it was best for me to get a human life, but although Jiang Hai was not a good person, he didn't lose his conscience to this point, so Jiang Hai didn't get a human life. The girl should know that in that case, it will not be difficult for me to let the snake bite! ”

Ah Xing was also surprised at first, there were no injured people when there were poisonous snakes in the theater. She thought it was her luck, but she didn't expect that Jiang Hai was unwilling to hurt the innocent. You must know that once someone dies, the snake keeper will never dare to stay for a long time, for fear that he will escape at the moment of the accident. And their theater is at a loss for words, and they don't know what kind of fate it will be.

Thinking of this, Ah Xing's heart felt a lot about him.

Jiang Hai continued: "Miss Axing, don't underestimate me, although I am not good-looking, I have skills that others don't have!" ”

His proud expression aroused Ah Xing's curiosity, "What are your skills, let's hear about it?" ”

Jiang Hai got up from the ground, stood in front of A Xing through the wooden fence, straightened his back, raised his chin, and said proudly: "Although I am small, I am agile and dexterous, and I am the best at concealment, so some people in the city will look for me if they want people to do something like stealing chickens and dogs, eavesdropping, and eavesdropping." And I've never been discovered. It's just that this time, because he owes gambling money and wants to get more rewards, he didn't obey Li Si's orders and showed his feet. If I had left earlier, Miss Xing, no matter how smart you are, you wouldn't have caught me! I slipped up pretty fast! ”

Ah Xing agreed with this sentence, if he slipped away after letting the snake go, she would have no choice at all.

At this time, Ah Xing didn't think that Jiang Hai's ability would be of any use to her, but seeing that he still had some conscience, and since he was willing to come to her to do things, it was obvious that he still wanted to reform himself, since this was the case, why not give him a chance, anyway, the theater was not afraid of inviting one more person.

Ah Xing said: "That's good, if you still think like this after you get out of prison." Just come to Tingsong to find me. ”

As a result, the snake release incident ended with Zhang Qingshan's complete failure. However, for a long time later, this matter still maintained a considerable residual heat, while people despised Zhang Qingshan, they infinitely magnified Ah Xing's intelligence and wit, and those who experienced this incident vividly described to everyone around them how Ah Xing calmly and calmly lured out the snake thief, and how wit he used to see through the tricks of the radiation thief and find out the evidence of the other party's crime. The tone is full of appreciation and respect.

Naturally, there are some Confucian students who are very unimpressed with Ah Xing's affairs, thinking that her behavior has caused a very bad impact, and some people even wrote articles criticizing Ah Xing's behavior, to the effect that it is morally corrupt for a woman to come out and show her face and mix with men all day long, and should be criticized. But as soon as this article came out, it was refuted by some other people who admired Ah Xing, saying that although Ah Xing had some contact with men, she did not act illegally, and it was not moral, and her appointment as the owner of the theater may be contrary to common sense, but it is not illegal, and the word criticism is too serious. The two theories and two ideas collided strongly together, and they made a fuss among the literati, which made everyone know Tingsong and Axing. Some merchants from other places heard about this and came to Tingsong curiously to take a look, and Tingsong's business became even more prosperous during this time.

For the comments of the outside world, Ah Xing ignores everything, as long as everyone doesn't come to trouble her, just say whatever you like!

After a long time of trouble in the outside world, Tingsong became popular for too long, so that when Ling Zifeng came back, he was shocked when he saw the account book that Ah Xing took out. Seeing the considerable numbers in the account book, Ling Zifeng's eyes widened in surprise, and then he raised his head to look at Ah Xing and said admiringly, "Ah Xing." I didn't expect you to have such good results alone! ”

Ah Xing smiled and said, "It's all up to someone to help!" ”

Ling Zifeng asked curiously, "Who is it, who is so kind?" ”

Ah Xing smiled and told Zhang Qingshan about the incident caused by Zhang Qingshan's dispatch to release snakes, Ling Zifeng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and said a few times, "It's so dangerous!" ”

Ling Zifeng's harvest this time was also very rich, he went to a total of 5 towns this month, and he stayed in each town for three days, earning a total of seven or eight hundred taels of silver, excluding the carriage and horse expenses and expenses, there were also more than six hundred taels of silver. It is equivalent to adding a quarter of the income to the theater. This is still because of the first tour, and the publicity will always be not in place, but with this performance as a basis, I believe that the harvest will be more abundant when the next time it passes.

This month, the income of the theater plus the income from the tour made a total of 3,000 taels of silver. Everyone's reward has also increased a little, and everyone is very happy to get the silver, and protagonists with high incomes like Lin Hai are already planning to buy a house and marry a wife.

On the side of the theater, Boss Wang also officially informed Ah Xing that the store in the capital has been found and will open soon. Ah Xing invested all the money she had earned in the carriage shop in the past two months, and since she had invested in silver, she couldn't be as sloppy as the first cooperation. This time, Ah Xing not only invited witnesses to sign the contract, but also asked Boss Wang to introduce himself to some core people in the carriage dealership to let them know about their existence. Anyway, everyone already knows that she has shown up, and one more is not a big deal. It's just that Ah Xing still didn't let Boss Wang say that she was the inventor of the four-wheeled carriage, and only said that she had invested in the carriage dealership.

If others knew that even the four-wheeled carriage was invented by her, I don't know what everyone would think, just in case, it's better not to say it.

Two months have passed in a busy time, and on a day of thunder and lightning, Xiaohuan suddenly came and told Ah Xing's father and daughter a good news: "The fourth aunt has been born!" It's a daughter! Mother and daughter are safe! ”

Ah Xing's father and daughter were overjoyed, and they had always been worried about Li Yin's situation. Especially Ah Xing, you must know that Li Yin is still young. The pelvis is not fully developed, and now the medical skills are not developed, in case of dystocia, and can not be operated, you can only resign yourself to fate, the mortality rate of women in ancient times is very high, and women giving birth to children is equivalent to stepping into the coffin with one foot. Now that Li Yin's mother and daughter are safe and sound, they are finally relieved.

Ah Xing gave Xiaohuan a very generous reward. After asking some more information, Xiaohuan left.

Although Ah Xing really wants to see her sister, the rule of large families is that women cannot see guests during confinement, so Ah Xing can only wait for Li Yin's child to be full moon before she can go to see her.

But that night, Hu Fu sent a carriage to pick her up, and it was Cuihong, who had come before, to pick her up. After Cui Hong came in, she saw that the house was brand new, and it was no longer the tattered appearance it used to be, and she remembered that Ah Xing was now the owner of the most popular theater in Jincheng, and she had been invited to the house by the princess, and she no longer had a contempt in her heart, she respectfully bowed to A Xing, and then said: "Miss A Xing, my wife invites you to come to the house!" ”
