Chapter 183 The Incomplete Man
A wide carriage stopped at the door of the tea shop, Li Xiaoqi lifted the curtain, looked at Huang Yuanshan with a smile and shouted: "Big brother, get in the car quickly, sister-in-law asked you to go back quickly." Huang Yuanshan shuddered, but his footsteps were not delayed for half a step, he hurriedly got into the car with his robe, and shrank in the corner of the carriage with a face full of fear, Li Xiaoqi knocked on the carriage board, and the car trotted forward, Huang Yuanshan hurriedly and carefully took out the azure thin porcelain bowl in his arms and put it on the middle of the carriage, Li Xiaoqi reached out and lifted the lid and looked at it, Huang Yuanshan hurriedly took off the black cloth bag containing silver, and carefully put it next to the bowl, Li Xiaoqi lightly ordered: "Tell me about that person." β
"Yes!" Huang Yuanshan's body shrank down again, and hurriedly replied: "His name is Shang Dawang, he works as an errand in the tea bureau inside, and he used to take out some internal tea leaves in exchange for some wine money. β
"He used to take it out, and he didn't have to look for you." Li Xiaoqi put the lid back and said, Huang Yuanshan hurriedly laughed and said, "What my aunt said is true!" Small β’β’β’β’β’β’"
"What other relatives does he have? When did you enter the palace? β
"I don't have any relatives, I heard that there is an elder brother, who died a long time ago, a few years ago I heard that he had a nephew, and then I heard that my nephew recruited his husband to join the army, I haven't heard the letter in the past two years, he has been in the palace since he was a child, and he is only afraid that he has been for 30 years."
"What's your temper and personality? What are your preferences? Do you have any thoughts? β
"It's an honest and useless, I love to drink two sips of wine, I haven't heard him say anything about it, but I heard other husbands say that he remembers the ransom of Lan the most, but the husbands and children all remember this, and they can't redeem it when they die, let alone enter the ancestral grave, and even the king of Hades won't accept itβ’β’β’β’β’β’" Huang Yuanshan's tongue turned, and he was the living king of Hades in front of him!
Li Xiaoqi hummed softly, took out a small silver coin of two taels from his purse and threw it to Huang Yuanshan: "This job is good, although this bowl is really not very good, but my aunt and grandmother don't look at things, just look at whether you work hard or not, take it, I heard that Prime Minister Lin Cheng's mansion sent a group of servants seventeen years ago, you go to inquire and find a few to come out, or three days." Huang Yuanshan took the silver, his Adam's apple rolled and swallowed heavily, although this aunt is vicious, this generosity has never been heard of! Huang Yuanshan swallowed his saliva again, glanced at Li Xiaoqi carefully, and said with a smile: "Go back to your aunt, you don't need to look elsewhere, that Mrs. Shen is the person who came out of the Lin Mansion back then, or she can't have such a good needlework." Li Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard this, this coincidence!
"Well, good! You've done a good job! Take it! Li Xiaoqi took out a silver coin of two taels from his purse and threw it to Huang Yuanshan and instructed: "This is to reward you for this trip." Huang Yuanshan took it with joy, he was dizzy from being smashed by the silver, swallowed his saliva again and again, looked at Li Xiaoqi expectantly, and waited to receive the messenger again. Li Xiaoqi squinted at him, thought about it, and then slowly ordered: "The things that come out of this palace, continue to collect, this is one, two, pay attention to the gossip of this Taiping Mansion, especially about Prime Minister Lin Cheng's mansion." β
"Yes!" Huang Yuanshan's response was excited, Li Xiaoqi raised his hand and knocked on the carriage board, the car rushed forward and stopped, Li Xiaoqi nodded at Huang Yuanshan, signaling him to get out of the car, Huang Yuanshan kowtowed, jumped out of the car backwards, staggered a few steps before standing still, the car continued to move forward unhurriedly, and turned two more streets, the coachman stopped the mule and beckoned: "Girl, it's here." Li Xiaoqi jumped out of the car wearing a hood, handed a few big money to the driver, thanked him with a smile, turned around with his skirt and entered a shop, turned out from the back door of the shop, and got into the car that Xi'an was driving.
Shang Dawang shook his arms, hummed a little tune, went back to the palace with a relaxed face, turned a few alleys, and entered the noble alley not far from the palace gate, this alley is full of tall doors on both sides, and the walls on both sides are so high that the walls that need to be looked up at appear to be narrow and dark, Shang Dawang just entered the alley, and was hit hard in the neck, a black cloth bag neatly covered the head, three times and two ties, and the picker who followed up quickly threw the things in the front basket into the back basket, and the two vendors carried the black cloth bag and put down the front basket, and the porter covered the basket, picked up the burden, turned around, walked out of the alley briskly, and the two hawkers went forward and backward, and continued to shout and sell all the way.
The porter walked for half an hour, unloaded the basket onto a chariot full of grain and other miscellaneous goods, the porter waved his whip, and shouted loudly at the two oxen, and went in the direction of the south gate of the city, the basket was unloaded in the remote courtyard in the south of the city, and the two guards carried the black cloth bag through the secret door in the house into the cellar.
In the wing room at the back of the courtyard, Chang Chang was dressed as a scholar, pointing to a small clay pot on the red cloth in the middle of the table and reporting: "β’β’β’β’β’β’ spent a thousand taels of silver, and it is really a treasure." Li Xiaoqi looked at the small clay pot with disgust, what was contained here was Shang Dawang's cut off, those eunuchs, when they died, they must be redeemed, and they must be buried in the coffin together, alas! Li Xiaoqi sighed secretly, reached out and took the hat placed next to him, put it on, and ordered, "Let's go." Chang agreed, signaled the guards next to him to wrap the clay pot in red cloth and carry it, and took two steps forward to lead Li Xiaoqi into the cellar through the secret passage in the house.
In the cellar, Shang Dawang had been poured out of the cloth bag, his head nested between his legs and unconscious, Zhao Wuge was dressed in a black robe, and was talking to Nanning in a low voice, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming in, the two were busy saluting, Li Xiaoqi looked down at Shang Dawang for a moment, waved his hand at Zhao Wuge, entered the dark room, and followed up with Nanning for a long time, Zhao Wuge took out the black cloth from his sleeve, carefully covered his face, only showed his two eyes, and made a gesture to the guard next to him who was also dressed up, the guard bent down, raised his hand and hit Shang Dawang in the face a few times, He fished out a soaked and cold handkerchief from the ice bucket next to him, and covered Shang Dawang's face at once, Shang Dawang's body twitched, he opened his eyes, the guard threw the handkerchief back to the ice bucket, and stood next to him with his hands behind his back, Zhao Wuge sat down on the armchair, stared at Shang Dawang who came to his senses, looked at Shang Dawang around in horror, and said in an official dialect with a thick Chizhou accent: "Shang Dawang!" Hello bold! Dare to steal the emperor's bowl! I really don't want to live anymore! β
Li Xiaoqi listened carefully to Fifth Brother Zhao's words, and nodded with satisfaction, this Fifth Brother Zhao is very talented in speaking dialects, and this Chizhou dialect is really true or false, Shang Dawang was dizzy, and was frightened by Fifth Brother Zhao's words, and hurriedly got up, looking at Fifth Brother Zhao who was black and only had only a pair of eyes left, his throat tightened in horror, and he couldn't speak. Fifth Brother Zhao stared at Shang Dawang for a moment, and then said: "Ye said, you can ignore the matter of stealing his things, just the same, if you have something to ask you, you answered honestly, not only did you talk about it!" I still have something to reward you! β
Shang Dawang blinked, gradually came to his senses, and was about to stand up with his hands propped up, the guards behind him pressed Shang Dawang's shoulders with their toes, pressing him back heavily, Shang Dawang twisted his body and struggled: "Ye is a person in the palace!" You grass people, you don't want to die! β
"Whew! In the eyes of the master, your five incomplete things are not even a grass! Dare to straighten your waist with your grandfather! You don't want to fucking live! Fifth Brother Zhao jumped to his feet and scolded: "Don't be ashamed!" The master told you, if it weren't for the fact that the master ordered you to ask a few words, you dare to steal things in the palace, such things as you! The master had already whipped and handed it over to Young Eunuch Wang, and the board was directly killed! Fifth Brother Zhao pointed at Shang Dawang and kicked it out, the kicked Shang Dawang screamed in pain and fell to the ground, Fifth Brother Zhao was about to step on it again, a guard next to him pulled him, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master Xiao, lightly, this thing is useless, in case he is killed, I am afraid that the master will be unhappy, take that thing to him over, if he is still such a bastard, stomp that one to him and feed it to the dog!" Fifth Brother Zhao nodded in relief, pointed at Shang Dawang and said: "What the dog enters, you listen, if there is a kind of thing, you will hold on, don't say anything, don't reply to the master's words, the master will see that you are not pleasing to the eye, and he wants to stomp you and feed the dog, you can rest assured, the master promises to feed you to a dog, your dog thing, and then feed another dog!" Fifth Brother Zhao said, gloating.
Shang Dawang sat on the ground, his mouth half open, and looked at the red cloth bag carried by the guard next to him in disbelief, wasn't that his treasure? He just looked up at the sky and looked at it, how did he get here!?
Fifth Brother Zhao stretched out his hand to take the red cloth bag in the guard's hand, dangled it in his hand, and said hatefully: "You damn it, just your shitty thing, it cost you a thousand taels of silver!" Something to feed the dogs! Shang Dawang screamed, and rushed at the red cloth bag that was shaking in Zhao Wuge's hand, and the guard next to Zhao Wuge kicked Shang Dawang to the corner with a neat kick, Shang Dawang made an uncomfortable sound in his throat, and his eyes stared at the red cloth bag in Zhao Wuge's hand, as if he was more attracted by the red cloth bull and was about to pounce on it, the guard stepped forward and stepped on Shang Dawang's fingers on the ground, and Shang Dawang who stepped on it let out a terrible scream.
The guard listened to Shang Dawang's call for a moment, then let go of his foot and took half a step back, Fifth Brother Zhao continued to shake the red cloth bag, and said teasingly: "Come, let's pour it out and see, what kind of thing is that thing!" I don't ask you, I want to feed you to the dogs! I'm afraid that the dog won't eat it! You dog into the thing! Shang Dawang's eyes still didn't leave the red cloth bag, and he threw himself on the ground and kept kowtowing: "The little one says everything, says everything, the master asks, the master asks, the small one says, the small one says everything!" β
