CHAPTER XVIII. Blackmail 4

Back in the courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, Li Xiaozu greeted him and said with concern: "A-Niang didn't lose her temper with you, did she?" ”

"No, how can she still have the strength to lose her temper with me!" Zhou was in a good mood, and Li Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief. The two eaten, cleaned up and lay down, Zhou coquettishly stretched his feet into Li Xiaozu's arms and let him rub them, and said with a smile what happened in today's conference hall: "...... The fifth sister is amazing, right? One sentence blocked the second wife back, you said, an offering beside her can be worth so much silver, let's go later," Zhou's voice was soft and soft: "Alas, look at it, if you have a girl, I'm afraid that you can't even afford to teach the piano, just like that, A-Niang also talked all day long and asked me to use the dowry silver to supplement the family." ”

Li Xiaozu's hand paused, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, Zhou moved his feet, put his hands on his neck and said softly: "It's not that I'm reluctant to make up for the family, what is the silver, but we are not the only ones in this house, this silver is subsidized, who knows who it will be pasted on?" When we have a child, we can't even afford to learn the piano, aren't you sad? Although this family is surnamed Li, but they are also close to each other, you look at me, there is only you in your eyes, and you are only the best for me, no matter what others say, anyway, I have to keep this silver for you and the child, I only have you in my heart!"

Li Xiaozu nodded gratefully, looked at his daughter-in-law with a flattering face and said, "I will rub your feet every day in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou's delicate answer from his nose, moved and prostrated on Li Xiaozu, pulled his ear with one hand and pulled it back and forth, and said coquettishly: "Da Lang, you see, the family is like this, we have to take care of Ah Niang, otherwise, what can we do in the future?" You say, don't you, Dalang? ”

"You're right, we have to plan for A-Niang, but, let's ......" Li Xiaozu reached out and hugged his daughter-in-law's soft waist, leaned over and kissed his daughter-in-law's face.

"Why don't we do some business?" Zhou interrupted Li Xiaozu's words and suggested with great interest, Li Xiaozu was stunned: "That's it...... I'm afraid that I can't do it, if you follow me, I will feel wronged by you, I have no ability, you see ......" Li Xiaozu looked at his daughter-in-law distressedly.

"Nonsense!" Zhou quickly kissed Li Xiaozu on the lips, stretched his legs and wrapped them between his legs, and said softly: "You are the best, you are so good to me, you are the best in the world!" Li Xiaozu's face was red and full of smirks.

"Who is born with it? I thought about this matter for an afternoon, my sister-in-law's third brother, who was on an errand in the store, heard that renting a house outside was very profitable, or let's look for him, you ......learn from him" Zhou supported one arm, his chest pressed on Li Xiaozu, and the other hand pressed Li Xiaozu's lips, and he turned around carefully: "Well, let's not hide this from A-Niang, you discuss with her, the family must have some money to make a living, right?" It's best to do the business of renting a house, even if you don't make money, where is the house, let A-Niang take some capital, earn money next year, and save A-Niang so hard to save, wait for your business to get started, and then do some of our own small business, what do you say? ”

Zhou's little abacus made a crisp sound, this year I will use A-Niang's money to practice my hands, and next year I will get started, and then I will do my own small business, Li Xiaozu can turn around these many corners, nodded again and again: "You are so good, I know that you are the best, I will never let you down in my life, and I will only be good to you alone." ”

"I'm your daughter-in-law, you're so good to me, my heart is all for you." Zhou chuckled, wrapped his arms around Li Xiaozu's neck and pressed against him, and said with a vague smile: "Da Lang, you said it before...... You've got to be gentle......"

"Good Lan'er, don't worry, I will listen to you, you let you in...... I just entered ....... Li Xiaozu exhaled heavily, turned over and pressed on Zhou's body, and after a while, the two of them were naked and enthusiastically rolled together, Zhou's delicate and gentle breathing and Li Xiaozu's happy and muffled roar were mixed together, adding an ambiguous and brisk serenade to this winter night.

In the heavy snowfall, seeing that they are going to enter the wax moon, the shopkeepers in the capital are troubled by a sudden increase, and the matter of Rong'an Tang applying medicine to the shop is really stuffy, but not a few days later, the Song family pharmacy at the entrance of the east gate of the temple was also carried by a coffin, holding a spirit banner to block the door, saying that the Song family pharmacy was a fake medicine, and it was killed.

Without waiting for the servants to come, four or five pharmacies on the east gate street of the temple were frightened and closed their shops. The rest of the medicine shops got the letter, but they didn't close the door, and quickly collected the medicine stalls.

Didn't wait for the shopkeeper to see the excitement and come back, this blackmail and disaster also blocked the door, first of all, Sun Haoshou steamed bun shop in Qiaoxi was smashed by someone carrying two beds of screaming patients, saying that he fell ill after eating his steamed buns, it must be his home moldy noodles and bad meat, blocking the door to lose money and pay for the shop, and then there is the incense medicine shop, rouge pollen shop, and even the boot shop was also slandered, not to say that he wore the boots he bought at his house, and then broke his leg!

The capital is full of blackmail flowers!

After two or three days of hard work, even the porridge shacks of the rich and noble people of all generations have been splashed and rolled one after another, and a group of people who are unclothed and pale and colorless are old or crippled, and they are all sitting in the porridge shacks, knocking on the bowls and beating the beats, pulling their throats and even crying and singing a little song: "Poisoned people!" Dirty heart and false mercy, come and see, poison people! Take the long-haired moldy rice to make a false kindness, and poison people!"

The Beijing Yamen is overwhelmed with medicine, eating, eating snacks, wearing clothes, wearing shoes, etc., etc., and so on, and so on, sick, broken legs to pay for silver, pay for the shop's paper, within a few days of hard work piled up more than half a person high, inside and outside the yamen is crowded with tears and pain, half-dead, hob meat like 'victims', the Beijing Yamen has never been so lively!

This is a situation of scoundrels everywhere, not to mention decades, even if I haven't seen it once in hundreds of years, the whole capital is chaotic but it is very lively, and there are groups of people who are watching the excitement.

Mrs. Xu received the report that the porridge shed of the Hou Mansion of Qingjiang was falsely accused, and she was not shocked, and heard that almost every porridge shed was blackmailed, and laughed out loud, and while laughing, she asked about the situation of the porridge shed and the shops everywhere being blackmailed, and sent away the mother-in-law, breathed a long sigh of relief, and giggled again, so it is the best, the big guys come together to taste the taste of being blackmailed!

Princess Jiang Jun got the letter, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, so she hurriedly sent several groups of people to inquire around, listened carefully to the report, and took a long breath. Someone behind her to help her? Still is...... Is it really a coincidence?

Guo Tuiguan ran around non-stop, running all over the city to suppress the incident and put out the fire, only busy with a dumb voice, his eyes were full of red silk, but he was in good spirits and in a happy mood. Guo Tuiguan was busy until midnight for several days. As soon as he got off the horse in the second gate, the staff member Mr. Hong greeted him and said with a smile: "Dong Weng has worked hard." ”

"What a exhausting person! The prisons are full, and even the yamen wings are full of people, how about it? What is the letter from above today? Guo Tuiguan's voice was hoarse and almost speechless, he threw the reins to the little guy, Luo circled his legs, shook his sore arm, and asked while walking in, Mr. Hong smiled and said: "I heard that this is all about today's court meeting, and the excerpt of the impeachment of our government is that it is loaded with several big bamboo baskets, and even the nominal mansion Yin of the uncle has been impeached, and the official family is furious, and the uncle is scolded on the spot. ”

"What's the matter with Uncle Guan? Oh!" Guo Tuiguan didn't finish a sentence, and then reacted, although the post of the eldest prince Qin Yan's position of the Yin of the Beijing Mansion is a false name, but if he seriously talks about death, he is also responsible for the position of the Yin of the Beijing Mansion, and he seems to have said it in the past: "His Mansion Yin is just a name, and he doesn't care about things, scold him...... There is no calamity. Guo Tuiguan shook his head.

"Uncle was scolded, and he came to our yamen to take charge of official business after the next court," Mr. Hong continued meaningfully: "I don't know if it's a blessing, Ji Fuyin's guilty plea was also sent down today, and I heard that the official family approved the words 'corpse vegetarian meal, stupid as a deer and pig'." ”

"Uncle has arrived at the Yamen Council?" Guo Tuiguan was sensitively aware of something, Mr. Hong looked left and right, pushed Guo Tuiguan into the house, and then said in a low voice: "I came to the court early in the morning, and I was busy until it was dark....... It's all ......."

"Dong Weng!" Mr. Hong raised his voice slightly, interrupting Guo Tuiguan's complaint: "You are calm. Guo Tuiguan took another breath, raised his hand and pressed it down several times, then took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, it's quiet, you hurry up!"

"As soon as the uncle entered the yamen, he first praised Dong Weng, saying that he saw what Dong Weng had done in the past few days, and he saw it in his eyes, he was a real and honest worker, and what he did was not to please Shangfeng, and he was purely focused on the people of the community, Dong Weng, listen, is there anything better than this?"

Guo Tuiguan's excited eyebrows moved, and Mr. Hong couldn't help laughing: "I weighed it for a while, and then I didn't let people tell Dong Weng, Dong Weng's temper can't hide his thoughts, if you listen to the uncle's words, I'm afraid you will be uncomfortable, it's better not to know, act according to your heart, Dong Weng is originally honest for the people." ”

"That's that!" Guo Tuiguan laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Mr. Hong heavily and said, "The surname Ji has poured blood mold, and the master has won a big lottery!" Hahaha, refreshing!"

"Ji Fuyin is a waste this time," Mr. Hong sighed sympathetically: "Anyway, he was also born in the two rankings, and he got the eight-character comment of the official family, it is difficult to have the opportunity to be an official in this life, and it is not easy to get to the third grade, but it's a pity!" The one in the Wenguo Mansion is really a scourge!"

"How can anyone else be blamed for this?" Guo Tuiguan glared and said: "The Wenguo Mansion is disgusting, he follows the table, who can blame him?" Well deserved!"

"Tomorrow Dong Weng will have to meet the uncle, this meeting, how to say it, we have to discuss it."

"Well, there is one thing, you give me an idea, I have made an appointment to find out where this thread is in the past few days, you say, do you want to tell the uncle about this?"
