Chapter 286: Such a scourge
Seeing that Huo Zhizhou was obviously greedy for 100,000 taels of silver, Cheng Hong turned around slightly and said to Li Chengyue: "Go to the lady's house and ask for a silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver, and this official will burn this 'scourge'!! ”
Li Chengyue nodded, and walked towards the back house without stopping. Li Chengyue walked on the front foot, Li Shan came in on the back foot, and gave a salute to Lord Cheng, seeing that Li Chengyue was not there, he wanted to carry the medicine jar to the back house to find it.
Huo Zhizhou smiled slightly, and glanced at the horse catcher on the side, and the horse catcher understood, stepped forward, and stopped Li Shandao: "This little brother is not a county official, right?" What is the matter with going to the county government to find Li Zhutou? What is it that you have in your hand? ”
Li Shanhu looked suspiciously at Lord Zhizhou, who was still unknown, and was hurt by the majestic atmosphere in the banquet room, and replied honestly: "The little surname is Li Mingshan, and he is the deputy dart master of the Chaoyang County Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and Li Chengyue Li Zhutou of Chaoyang County, he is my father, my father is sick, and I came to bring him medicine." ”
"Sick? Delivering medicine? A smile of unknown meaning bloomed on Ma Zhutou's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "The little brother of the Li family is serious, right?" Before the half-pillar incense, Ma was still with Ling Zun, and walked around most of Chaoyang County, your father did not cough, did not have a fever, ate meat like a wolf, was as strong as a cow, walked like a tiger, and his eyes were as bright as stars, are you sure he is sick? You're here to give him medicine? What does it mean otherwise? ”
Li Shan's face turned red, embarrassed and embarrassed, and he didn't say a reason for a long time, seeing that everyone's eyes were staring at him, he couldn't wait to stare at a transparent hole, so he couldn't help but speak: "Ma catches the head, I will occasionally send food or medicine to my father when I am idle, and the officials in Chaoyang County know about it." On weekdays, it is true that some ordinary medicines such as wind and cold medicines, intestinal medicines or bone-setting medicines are delivered, but today's medicines are not those ordinary medicines, but ......"
Li Shan's face turned even redder, "but" for a long time and couldn't go on.
Cheng Hongluo also looked at Li Shan for some reason, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Li Shan's gourd.
Li Shanne was stunned for a long time, thinking that if everyone didn't ask questions, they wouldn't want to say it, but the faces of the people were completely like breaking the casserole and asking to the end, not knowing the answer, and vowing not to give up.
Li Shan had no choice but to say in a voice like a mosquito: "Recently, Mrs. Wu introduced a widow to my father, with two daughters, afraid, afraid that my father would be again, again, and again, so let me, let me go to Yelangzhong, open a harmonious medicinal soup, let my father eat a vegetarian, vegetarian, and then eat a medicinal soup, and then, again, and then get married......
Li Shan, who originally spoke very quickly and neatly, said this sentence in three sentences, stammering, his attitude was warm and ambiguous, and the sentences were shrunken, and the meaning was foggy, making everyone even more confused, and he really didn't understand what this matter of wife had to do with being a vegetarian and drinking medicine.
As if after realizing it, Li Shan suddenly stared at Ma Zhutou, and said with a surprised expression: "Ma Zhutou, you, you just said that my father 'eats meat like a wolf', isn't it him, he eats meat?" ”
This sentence stunned Ma Zhutou, and nodded honestly: "The food sent by Zhenweifang, the duck inside, your father himself gnawed half of the ......."
Li Shan was annoyed and said, "It's bad, it's terrible." My father, we can't stop this mouth? As soon as I left my eyes, I began to eat secretly, have you never quit meat and vegetarianism in the past few days in the county government? ”
Li Shan's eyes were looking at the other two Chaoyang County officials, and the two of them nodded inexplicably, these days, in their eyes, this Li Chengyue is not only not a vegetarian, but this little wine and small meat are happier than the lactating old sows in the pigsty, where is the appearance of being a vegetarian?
Li Shandeng was like a mourner, how ugly his face was, how ugly and ugly it was, and he slapped the root of his thigh and said angrily: "How is this good?" said that I would eat vegetarian and drink medicine, extinguish the prestige of the 'scourge', happily marry a daughter-in-law and go home, and it would be good to have a woman who knows cold and hot to take care of my father, and I will be at ease....... Daddy, daddy, why don't you worry about it......."
Everyone watched Li Shan singing and sitting alone, but they didn't understand which "scourge" Li Shankou was, isn't it the same as Cheng Hongluo, but also "suffered from the scourge" by "gold and silver treasures"?
Cheng Hongluo finally couldn't help it, comforted Li Shan twice, and saw that Li Shan's mood was calm, so he said cautiously: "Shan'er, what kind of disease does your father have, and he still has to eat vegetarian food?" Drink medicinal soup? What kind of disease does this medicinal soup cure? Say it, don't let me and Huo Zhizhou worry about it. ”
Li Shan blushed and sighed, put the medicinal soup on the table, lifted the lid, and said in a deep voice: "My lord doesn't know, the main ingredient of this medicinal soup and this medicinal soup is ground grass ......."
Cheng Hongluo naturally heard what kind of herb it is, which is probably not a secret in the entire Leyang County or even the entire Great Qi Country, because a case more than ten years ago publicized this little-known medicinal herb to everyone in the Great Qi Country, especially men and women.
The case at that time was not complicated at all, that is, a rich and lustful farmer, who had a jealous main room at home, was dissatisfied with her husband's daily wandering in the Qinglou Pavilion, so she added ground grass to her husband's diet all the year round, causing her husband to be full of energy during the day, but wilting at night.
When the nephew of the owner of the village dressed the owner in old clothes, he was a little suspicious of the corpse, and privately found a person for an autopsy, and found that the owner was only in his early forties, and his whole body, whether it should be soft or not, including the bones, were soft, and it was clear that he had been poisoned by the grass lying on the ground.
Because of the viciousness of the main room, it spread far and wide. During that time, even all the lustful men did not dare to drink the soup made by women's hands, for fear of being poisoned by the grass lying on the ground, and they would not be able to be men, and they would not be able to raise their heads in front of women, and even die with a whimper.
Cheng Hong coughed several times in embarrassment, his face was flushed like Li Shan, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Huo Zhizhou listened, looked at Li Shan with a strange expression, and didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.
It is said that God is unfair, which is really extremely unfair.
This Chaoyang County, a small ordinary county town that can't be smaller, is so angry that people are alive.
Like this money, some people spend their lives greedy to take it, while others regard it as a "scourge" and even want to burn it.
Just like this house-matter, some people are desperate to "make up", while others regard it as a "scourge", and even think that the Fa will be "lowered" to the bottom point, so as not to harm the woman......
This "scourge" of Chaoyang County is really very tight! Would it be good to give the official more "scourge"?
Huo Zhizhou looked down at himself------ he had replenished the deer blood, ginseng, and tiger whip, and his body was still as usual, and he had an urge to scold his mother in his heart.
Therefore, when Li Chengyue returned to the banquet room again, the atmosphere was so weird, as if there were dozens of lanterns, no, more than a dozen cold knives, all swept towards Li Chengyue's lower body, making Li Chengyue instantly feel the tiger between his legs, cold and tight.
Li Chengyue didn't know why, so he could only pretend to be calm and handed the silver ticket to Cheng Hongluo, Cheng Hongluo raised the silver ticket painfully, grabbed one side with one hand, gritted his teeth, and strengthened his hands, the silver ticket was stretched straight, and it was about to be divided into two......
Huo Zhizhou let out a distressed "sigh", his hands were eager to replace him, and his eyes were full of regret.
Cheng Hongluo spread his hands, and with great pity, he smoothed out the silver ticket that had just been almost torn, and muttered to himself: "Alas, how can this be said to be 100,000 taels of silver, how much grain do you have to exchange?" How much cloth? It's also possible to change back to a Beijing official or a peace official, right? ”
Huo Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Cheng Hongluo's words and said nervously: "Lord Cheng thinks twice, it's true, it's a pity......"
Huo Zhizhou was so angry that his teeth itched, and he hoped that Cheng Hongluo's subordinates would show mercy, and stay up until Cheng's family was raided, and it would be good if it went into Lao Tzu's pocket.
Cheng Hongluo straightened the silver ticket again, and said angrily: "The Yin family is a little harmful to people, and the Taoist priest is right!" He's a troublemaker! It's not a blessing at all, it's all a disaster, it's not my family, it's torn, broken, or broken!! ”
Cheng Hongluo straightened the silver ticket again, and tried hard to tear it again, but when he was about to tear it open, he stopped again and muttered to himself.......
After tossing for five or six rounds like this, Huo Zhizhou became a little impatient, and said angrily: "What the Taoist priest said is right, blessings and misfortunes depend on, disasters may not be disasters, and blessings may not be blessings." ”
Cheng Hongluo's eyes lit up, but he was quite unconvinced: "Isn't my lord comforting the lower officials?" This Yin family's troublemaker has a bad reputation! Bad temper! The heart is not good! How can it bring blessings to the lower officials, if it brings blessings, the lower officials would rather transfer this 'scourge' to the adults, whether it is burned or torn, and let the adults dispose of it at will. ”
Huo Zhizhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after realizing it, he seemed to have fallen for Cheng Hongluo, but the 100,000 taels of silver were indeed too tempting, and he really couldn't resist this temptation, and besides, the danger of Cheng Hongluo was not unsolvable.
Huo Zhizhou glanced at Ma Zhutou, and everyone left one after another, leaving only Huo and Cheng.
Huo Zhizhou looked at the empty room around him, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Cheng, there are no outsiders present now, so I'll tell you the truth, your stepdaughter has caused a lot of trouble, and it is light to punish her nine clans." Although Brother Cheng didn't let her enter the family, according to the prince's temperament, the level of starting a family is really difficult. ”
Cheng Hong's eyes froze, and he put 100,000 taels of silver tickets into Huo Zhizhou's sleeve uncheckably, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Lord Huo's young son likes to play chess, and there is a set of good clouds and a set of sandalwood chess tables in the official's house, which will be given to the adults for the little sons to play, and I hope that the adults will guide the maze, don't be burdened by the scourge of the Yin family...... ”
Huo Zhizhou remembered that Cheng Hongluo was a little bit of a mustache himself, and he wanted to give his two stepdaughters to his son as a room, knowing that Cheng Hongluo was ruthless, he put 100,000 taels of silver tickets into his cuffs, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng still remembers how Master Sun became the envoy of the Inspectorate?" ”
Cheng Hongluo's face was stunned, he didn't wake up for a long time, and his mouth seemed to chew a bitter lotus, a bitter mouth, and a bitter heart.
