Chapter 115: Guo's whereabouts
.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
Not long after, in a secluded alley in Qingzhou City, a woman with a graceful posture and elegant gait shrouded in light veils walked through closed doors on the cold and hard bluestone slabs, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.
The woman knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door came out and looked left and right, and saw that the alley was empty, so she let the woman in.
The man who opened the door led the woman into the living room and disappeared, and did not beckon the woman to sit down, nor did he see anyone come to serve tea, just because the people who came here did not stay for long.
The woman stood quietly in the middle of the living room.
In a moment, a man of medium stature and unremarkable appearance stepped out of the inner hall.
The man held out his right hand to the woman, "Information." ”
The woman pulled out an envelope from her sleeve and handed it to the man.
The man took out the paper in the envelope and unfolded it, and after taking a closer look, he said: "This list is difficult to complete, I can't find anyone who dares to make a move in Jiangnan, I need to go outside the customs to find it, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to make a move." ”
The woman coldly spit out a sentence, "You can have as much silver as you want, and the time is limited to one year." ”
The man laughed, "I heard the news two months later." ”
The woman said no more, turned and walked out.
It was close to June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the blacksmith shops all over the city couldn't afford to afford the fire.
The most famous blacksmith shop in Yuxi County is Tangji in the west of the city, the soup blacksmith is lying on the rocking chair in the backyard hall with a pu fan and drinking a small wine, shaking twice and taking a small sip, which is very pleasant.
When he was in the middle of drinking, the man led two people in.
Blacksmith Tang stared at it, hurriedly stood up and greeted with a smile, "Yo, isn't this Shi Shao's darthead, the distinguished guest is coming, there is a long way to welcome, forgive the sin." ”
Shi Hengyu hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Master Tang doesn't have to be polite, I brought this Liu girl to create objects today." ”
Blacksmith Tang shifted his gaze to Liu Qingyan and asked, "I wonder what Miss Liu wants to create?" ”
Liu Qingyan stepped forward, handed a scroll of drawings in her hand to the blacksmith Tang, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Master Tang's skills are superb, and the little woman came here to see if these few objects can be made." ”
The blacksmith took the drawings curiously and looked through them one by one, and from the look on his face, he could tell that these objects must be very novel.
After a cursory reading, I was already eight points sure in my heart, so I invited the two of them into the house to sit down and ordered the men to serve tea.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the blacksmith Tang pulled out one of the most complicated drawings and said to Liu Qingyan: "Although I don't know what the girl needs to be used for, it is not difficult to create it, only this one is the most precise, and I will study it carefully." ”
Liu Qingyan glanced at the drawing, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "How long will it take to build it?" ”
Blacksmith Tang thought for a while and said, "About a month or so, this set of gears is a precision instrument, and it is very troublesome to forge, so you need to try a few more times." ”
"In this way, there will be Master Lao Tang." Liu Qingyan said happily.
After negotiating the price, the two got up and took their leave.
Due to the hot weather, Shi Hengyu's horse didn't ride anymore, and he had to follow the carriage wherever he went, and he often started to make some small moves after getting in the car.
Since the last kissing incident, Liu Qingyan didn't dare to eat tofu to tease him anymore, every time it was half pushed, half pushed, half pushed, and this time they kissed together again.
Shi Hengyu sincerely asked the seniors in the dart game for advice, and now he also understands some knowledge of men and women, and knows that the matter of marriage is not in a hurry, so he has to work hard to practice kissing skills.
The two of them kept warm for a while before letting go, hugged each other, and chatted about the objects they had just created.
The things that Liu Qingyan went to create were all prepared for the creation of a super farmhouse in the future, such as barbecue grills, barbecue grills, barbecue forks, grilled fish tongs used in Sichuan-style grilled fish, rectangular plates for fish, and so on. There is a black technology that she has been thinking about for a long time, a foot-operated threshing machine.
Among the two Zhuangzi that Zhu Hongyu married, one was a whole rice plant, and there were also hundreds of acres of land. She wanted to build a machine that could save time and effort and reduce the labor intensity of the villagers.
In fact, the foot-operated threshing machine is also quite simple.
The two sets of gears are rotated by pedaling to drive a wooden drum in the middle, on which rows of thin iron bars are bent into an N-shape.
When the foot steps on the pedal, the gear rotates with the drum, and then the rice can be threshed by putting it in, and it is not heavy, and two people can easily lift it to the field, saving time, convenient and fast.
Although it is still tiring to use foot pedaling as motivation, it is more than ten times faster than threshing by beating.
The most critical part of the threshing machine is the set of gears, which is not difficult to forge technology in this era, but the cost of iron is relatively expensive, and the amount of iron used by the people is strictly regulated, so it cannot be manufactured in large quantities.
Now that the gears have landed, the drum doesn't need to be bothered, just some pieces of wood, just assemble them, and it's not too late to go to the carpenter when the gears come out.
The carriage drove to an alley that turned to the main street and suddenly stopped, Shi Hengyu opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Jiahua, who was driving the car, what was going on.
Jiahua said that there seemed to be someone arguing in front, and the onlookers blocked the road and couldn't cross.
Shi Hengyu asked Jiahua to see what was the reason for the quarrel, and by the way, persuaded people to disperse and get out of the way.
Jiahua took the order, and after a while, his eyebrows flew back and forth, "Miss, Shi Gongzi, there is a man and Sister Yao in front of me, and the two are scuffling together, which is exciting." ”
There's a lot of fun!
Liu Qingyan was secretly happy in her heart, and she germinated the idea of going to be a melon-eating crowd, and pulled Shi Hengyu out of the car to watch.
The two squeezed into the crowd to take a look, only to see a man and a woman rolling on the ground, their hair disheveled and disheveled, I don't know if it was because they were not dressed properly or because of a scuffle.
The man and woman were fighting, still screaming and cursing.
The woman's voice is extremely penetrating, and Liu Qingyan sounds a little familiar.
In the scuffle, the man gradually fell to the downwind, but was suppressed by the woman, his hair was scattered to the ground, his face was exposed, and he looked a little human, and he was also a little familiar.
The woman's figure was extremely plump, and she wore little in summer, and her clothes were half open in the tearing, revealing a large area of white flowery skin.
The onlookers made a "wow" sound, and they couldn't wait for the two to fight more fiercely and rip off the woman's clothes.
The woman was extremely tough, pressed the man to the ground and rummaged, probably to see if the man had hidden silver on his body, and scolded while looking for his mouth: "Bastard, the better the skin, the less a man is." ”
When Liu Qingyan heard this, she blinked sideways and looked at Shi Hengyu, which meant: Your skin is good, will it not be a good thing?
Shi Hengyu's face sank, and he raised his hand to forcibly cover Liu Qingyan's ears.
Probably the man really didn't have any silver on him, and the woman rummaged for a long time and didn't find anything, so she spat on the man's face and scolded him without any restraint
The man got up, straightened his clothes and strode away from the crowd, scolding back as he went, "Ruthless and unrighteous stinky." ”
The onlookers burst into laughter, laughing at him for actually talking to Sister Yao.
The woman, on the other hand, tucked her hair behind her ears and pulled her clothes while still glancing around
It's really coquettish and explicit, and it's shameless.
The woman's face was covered with a thick layer of fat powder, but it could still be seen that she was about thirty years old, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little gorgeous.
Liu Qingyan looked at the woman's face, and immediately recognized that the woman was Guo, who had committed adultery with the merchant and had fled for two years, but she didn't expect to hide in the county seat.
Her fists clenched, her gaze suddenly cold.
Perhaps because Liu Qingyan has changed too much in the past two years, Guo did not recognize Liu Qingyan, and saw that no one around him ignored her, so he scolded and left.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Liu Qingyan's eyes were deep, still staring at the depths of the alley ahead.
Seeing her like this, Shi Hengyu knew that something must be wrong with her, so he held Liu Qingyan's hands and asked with concern, "Little thing, what's wrong with you?" Do you recognize the woman? ”
Liu Qingyan raised her eyes to look at Shi Hengyu, her eyes were calm, and she said calmly: "I recognize, she is my third aunt in the past, the woman who caused my third uncle to serve hard labor and Qingzhi's sister became a fool." ”
Shi Hengyu's eyes widened in shock, and he stared at Liu Qingyan for a while, his thick eyebrows suddenly frowned tightly, and his eyes became sharp and cold, "But what do you want me to do for you?" ”
Liu Qingyan thought about it, and said with a shallow smile: "Find out her address, just don't let her run away, I will find a way to deal with her." ”
"It's easy, just tell me when you need to make a move."
"Okay."
Shi Hengyu still rubbed Liu Qingyan's hair as before, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Ruyi Building for dinner, I haven't seen Shopkeeper Tong for a long time." ”
His original intention was to make Liu Qingyan happy and make her relax.
However, the shopkeeper Tong was not in a very good mood near the row, because the second chef of the restaurant jumped ship with a few little cooks, and he was so angry that he blew his beard every day and glared at those guys for being ungrateful.
Seeing Liu Qingyan and Shi Hengyu coming, he spit out bitterness in fragments, "Tell me, I usually treat them well, I picked them up from a small hand, and I didn't care about anything for a few silvers, and my conscience was all eaten by dogs." ”
Liu Qingyan and Shi Hengyu did not express their opinions for the time being, and let him continue.
The shopkeeper Tong talked endlessly, and told the two of them about the few unconscionable guys from the beginning of entering the restaurant, bit by bit, without missing anything.
Until the two heard their stomachs growling, the shopkeeper Tong showed no sign of stopping.
Liu Qingyan rested her chin on the table, blew on the bangs in front of her forehead, and said, "Let's go, they can't take away many dishes, and they won't have much impact on Ruyilou's business." I'm working on a new recipe for the chef I'll teach you. ”
That's what you're waiting for!
Shopkeeper Tong's eyes lit up, he immediately stopped complaining, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will thank Miss Liu first, and I will give you a big gift at the end of the year." ”
Shi Hengyu rolled his eyes in his heart, and said: "Let's put it aside first, we are here to eat, and we haven't seen you ask us if we are hungry after a long time." ”
Shopkeeper Tong promised to apologize and hurry down to make arrangements.
After returning home, Liu Qingyan did not tell the Liu family about meeting the Guo family, and she did not want to make waves in her calm life.
As for how to punish Guo, it still needs to be considered in the long run.
Parade through the streets, judging from Guo's performance today, reputation, face, and shame do not exist at all, so they are useless when used on her.
Everything still has to wait for information from Shi Hengyu's side.
It is indeed easy to investigate the background of an inferior secret prostitute, and the next day, Shi Hengyu told Liu Qingyan the information he had found.
Guo Shi did live in that small alley, the house was rented, and there was no merchant around him, and all the people around him were people who were engaged in cheap business.
After Liu Qingyan heard this, four words rose in her heart.
What retribution!
She judged according to the information that Guo should have been abandoned by the merchant, otherwise she would not have said that the better the skin, the less things a man is.
However, Yoo Qingyan's judgment was not wrong.
Not long after Guo and the merchant fled, the merchant ran away with the silver while she was still asleep.
She had no choice but to start a leather and meat business.
Because she is too old, she can't enter the high-end green building, so she can only be the lowest kiln sister.
Just when Liu Qingyan was struggling with how to punish the Guo family, news from Liu Boyu also came from Ling Mofeng's side.
Liu Boyu served hard labor in a quarry in the territory of Yongzhou Prefecture, because the previous county magistrate had taken care of him, and only did some light work, but he did not suffer much.
Ling Mofeng had already greeted people again, and Liu Qingyan was grateful for this, and secretly made some decisions.
