Chapter 14 Buying a House

When it comes to public security in Tokyo, it is really at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good area, and it is very peaceful. There are robbers and bandits all over the country in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are no robbers and bandits in Tokyo.

The population of Tokyo City is 1.6 million, and the forbidden army has 80,000, which is equivalent to one soldier in every 20 people. What's more, there is a sentry post at 300 meters, a police station at 800 meters, and a street patrol team every half an hour, what kind of thieves dare to commit crimes in Tokyo?

Not to mention that the inner and outer cities are all four-zhang high walls, sealing Tokyo like an iron bucket, where can robbers dare to enter.

Besides, of the 1.6 million people in Bianliang City, the rich scholars account for nearly one-fifth, and the remaining four-fifths are all for them.

Therefore, all the old men and officials are alive and well, they have money in their hands, and they are better than anything else, and they don't have to worry about public security at all.

Especially a military attache like Lu Qian, who has good martial arts in his own right, where would he think of paying attention to safety issues.

After nightfall, Lu Qian drank flower wine with his friends as usual, and went home after drinking until he was half drunk, he was a military attachΓ©, unlike the literati who had to take a horse-drawn cart and an ox cart to go home, just walk.

When he got home, the wine was half awake, the maid had already boiled water, the lady and the concubine served him to bathe together, the lady helped him rub his back and wash his body, and the concubine stood next to him with her clothes trembling, and did not dare to speak.

Lu Qian understood what was going on, the lady couldn't get used to the little concubine, but she didn't know what to say, thinking of a way to rectify her, and got up early to listen to the housekeeper Lao Wu say that the little concubine was instructed by the lady to go to the guest room to serve the new guests last night.

This is a woman's mind, the lady knows that Lu Qian loves the concubine more than her, and she also knows that Lu Qian has a spiritual cleanliness habit, and the concubine's body has been touched by other men, so he doesn't love it, so the whole body and mind will be placed on the lady.

This thing made Lu Qian dislike, but it was not easy to attack. He can succeed in becoming this Yuhou, and the old father-in-law has also helped a lot, if he sits against her, the old father-in-law will blame him, and he will be in trouble.

Moreover, he blames himself for taking a concubine, he has only been married for a year and a half, and his mother's belly is not bulging, so he is in a hurry to take a concubine, and everyone is angry.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian grabbed the lady's hand and raised his eyes to look at her. The lady was shy, understood Lu Qian's intentions, and turned to the concubine, "Put the clothes here, you go and rest." ”

The concubine put down her clothes and walked backwards, her submissive little appearance made Lu Qian feel vaguely heartbroken, but he was helpless.

After the concubine left, the lady also untied her clothes, and before she finished taking it off, Lu Qian couldn't wait, and pulled the lady into the water, the lady smiled coquettishly, and the two hugged each other in the bucket, splashing everywhere.

At this moment, Lu Qian heard an unusual sound, it seemed that something heavy fell to the ground, he didn't think much about it, and continued to play with the lady, but then, there was a loud click, the door was kicked open, and a strong man wrapped in darkness swaggered in.

The lady screamed in fright, but Lu Qian acted quickly, stood up first, reached out and grabbed the laundry mallet next to the barrel in his hand, and shouted: "Who is coming!" ”

As soon as he finished shouting, he was hit by a stone in his face, and he was in severe pain.

Lu Qian didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed the edge of the barrel with his hand and jumped out, wanting to fight with the thief, where did he think that the strong man in black slid and flew on the spot, kicking him in the chest.

As soon as Lu Qian jumped up from the barrel and his body was in the air, the person was kicked backwards and fell on the wall and slid down.

Inside the wooden barrel, Lu Qian's mouth opened wide and screamed, which stopped abruptly in less than two seconds, because the thief picked up the loofah used to rub the bath in the wooden barrel and stuffed it into her mouth, instantly filling her cherry mouth, even deep into her throat, so that she could no longer scream.

Lu Qian, who fell to the ground, was furious, slapped the carp on the ground with one palm and tried to get up, but as soon as he stood up the thief, a whirlwind leg kicked him in front of the door, Lu Qian's feet slipped and fell directly on the back of his head.

Lu Qian's lady reached out to take out the loofah in her mouth, but the thief stuffed it in again, giving her a full mouth, hehe smiled, "Little lady, you don't want to die, you make up the bag (don't) shout." ”

It turned out to be a standard Guanzhong dialect.

Lu Qian's lady understood, her face flushed, and she shook her hand to indicate that she was not shouting, and the thief let go, and the lady quickly sat down in the water, tears flowed out unconsciously, covering her chest with both hands, feeling that she was being looked at and ashamed of her husband.

Lu Qian exploded his lungs in anger, rolled on the spot and flipped up again, swinging his fist straight into the thief's face. Unexpectedly, a punch was thrown, and the thief grabbed his fist, and gave him a punch in return, which was very skillful, hitting the root of the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were golden, and the root of his nose was sour.

Then the thief grabbed his fist and twisted it, a standard grappling hand, so that he could not move one arm backlash, if he wanted to break away, his right arm was likely to be broken and dislocated by the thief.

Lu Qian is a military attachΓ©, and he knows very well what will happen if he dislocates his arm, so he will become a chopping block and let others slaughter him. Hurriedly spoke, "Stay as a good man, you and I have no grievances, why is this time?" ”

The thief laughed, "Ma Di batch, (I) will give you Ming She (say), Emu is rich, light (listen) to the society You have a lot of money in the house, and you will borrow some flowers." ”

Although the authentic Guanzhong dialect was clumsy, Lu Qian understood, and at the same time his heart was relaxed, since he was asking for money, it would not be fatal, and he should say at the moment: "There is money and money, I will take it from you, don't be angry." ”

The thief let go, Lu Qian was liberated, and he rubbed his shoulders for the first time, and at the same time observed the thief.

The thief is of medium height, but he has great strength, and he is not very old when he hears the voice, so he doesn't know where he came from. At the same time, the thief slashed at the neck of the lady with a knife, and the lady rolled her eyes and fainted, but fortunately, Lu Qian was quick and held the lady, so that she would not fall into the water.

A little embarrassed at the moment, Lu Qian said to the thief: "I'll settle the Hun family first." ”

The thief snorted, and turned his face away very gentlemanly.

Lu Qian stretched out his hand and took the lady out of the bathtub, put it on the chair next to her, and covered her with clothes to cover her shame. After doing this, Lu Qian took the mallet for washing clothes again, gritted his teeth, and smashed it at the back of the thief's head.

But he didn't pay attention, the thief turned his back to him, but his eyes kept staring at the bronze mirror on the counter, seeing the mallet coming, he didn't panic, but leaned forward, and kicked his right leg backwards, kicking Lu Qian's chest, the force was amazing, and Lu Qian who kicked it flew out four or five steps, and he was naked, and he fell to the ground and slippery.

If Lu Qian has a memory, he will definitely remember that Lin Chong kicked Wang Han two years ago.

With a successful blow, the thief was also angry, stepped over and jumped in two or three steps, volleyed a knee blow, and hit Lu Qian's chest again, this time the weight was given, making Lu Qian spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he quickly begged for mercy: "The hero spares his life." ”

The thief's clenched fist was about to fall, and when he saw him vomiting blood, he stopped in mid-air, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Hey, you coax, you have four to ask for money, not four to die, why don't you talk lightly." ”

Lu Qian was obedient this time, he didn't dare to make another time, stroked his chest, went to the side to get his clothes in a panic, put them on briefly, and then went to the inner room, took out a wooden box, and presented it to the other party, "Hero, it's all my net worth." ”

The thief took the box, opened it to see, threw it with his backhand, raised his foot and kicked it, fast and very, Lu Qian couldn't dodge, and was kicked by the thief and fell down again in the lower abdomen, unspeakably uncomfortable, as if the entire intestines were twisted together, and his chest was also uncomfortable, and he opened his mouth to vomit again, this time it was not only blood, but also mixed with food, and the sour instantly filled the whole room.

The thief was about to raise his fist, but Lu Qian hurriedly blocked, but the punch was suspended in the air, and he blamed sourly again, "What a good ball, are you four pastimes?" You are really a big official, you spend a hundred taels on a meal, you give two hundred taels, and you have to take four as melons? ”

Only then did Lu Qian know that the thieves were powerful, and when people entered his house, they all stepped on it in advance and found out clearly, so they were not as honest and honest as they seemed on the surface.

Lu Qian can cry to death, so he heard this thief have a strong accent in the Guanzhong dialect, and by the way, he thought that he was a turtle from the northwest, and he had never seen the world, so he casually sent some silver, but he didn't expect it, but he was a shrewd ghost.

Lu Qian was helpless, got up again, bent his waist, went into the bed in the room, opened the box with the copper clad corner, and took it out tremblingly, this time it was powerful, there were about five hundred taels, all of which were neat silver ingots.

The thief blinked and took the box, "Well, that's not much." But after taking the money, he was still reluctant to leave, pacing in the house, staring at Lu Qian, his eyes rolling.

Lu Qian panicked in his heart and spoke: "Hero, there is no more, it is really all here, I have only been in the company for two years, and it is impossible to have more money." ”

The thief didn't answer, paced twice, and said silently: "One Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." After reading it, he suddenly rushed over, stretched out his hand to grab Lu Qian's hair, Lu Qian blocked again, but he was helplessly injured internally, his strength was weak, he couldn't pester, he was grabbed and sat on the chair, and used his belt as a rope to fix the whole person on the chair.

Then I went outside, came in with the fainted concubine, washed the noodles with water, and the concubine woke up slowly.

Only then did Lu Qian know that the muffled sound made by the concubine when she went out at the beginning should have been knocked out by a thief.

The concubine woke up and wanted to scream, but the thief covered her mouth and threatened in a low voice: "Bao shouts, otherwise grandpa will sprinkle (kill) you." ”

The concubine didn't dare to shout, so she could only look at Lu Qian pitifully.

Lu Qian was also very helpless, he himself was tied up, and the mud bodhisattva crossed the river.

The thief pushed the concubine to the ground, walked to the lady, and woke the lady up, and also threatened, so that the lady did not dare to speak out. Then he called Lu Qian's name, "Lu Qian, give you one last chance, if you can't satisfy your mother-in-law, you won't be polite to your mother-in-law." ”

When the words fell, the thief's big hand went into Lu Qian's lady's clothes, and the lady shouted, dodging the thief's salty pig hand, and shouted at the same time: "What he wants, give it to him, why bother me to suffer such humiliation?" ”

The thief sneered, attacking up and down with his hands back and forth, Lu Qian's lady couldn't take care of the top and couldn't take care of the bottom, and her clothes couldn't cover it.

Lu Qian no longer dared to hide his secrets, and shouted repeatedly, "It's for you, it's for you." ”

In this way, the thief stopped, hehe smiled, "The money is hidden in Yada (where), let the little lady be angry (go) to take it." ”

This little lady refers to the concubine.

Lu Qian wanted to cry without tears, and said the dark grid behind the calligraphy and painting, and the concubine found a brocade box and held it to the thief tremblingly.

The thief opened the lid of the box, and immediately a bright yellow light flashed, and the shining thief smiled, blaming Lu Qian, "Look at you, you took these things out in the morning, why bother to suffer these crimes." ”

But why? Inside the box was a yellow and shiny gold bar, how could the thief be unhappy.

Now that the thief got the gold bar, he lost interest in the silver on the ground, arched his hand at Lu Qian, and said with a smile: "Do more good deeds in the future, don't do evil, next time I come again, I will take your dog's life." ”

Lu Qian was shocked when he heard it, the meaning revealed in the thief's words was that he had a deep understanding of him, but no matter how Lu Qian wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of when he had offended a good man in Guanzhong, seeing that the thief was leaving, Lu Qian couldn't help shouting, "Can the good man leave a name, so that I can know where I did wrong." ”

The thief walked to the door and turned back, his eyes brightened surprisingly, and then he spoke, and said aloud, "This is Galen, but you must remember it clearly." ”

The last sentence is no longer the Guanzhong dialect, but the Hebei tone with a correct tone, which once again made Lu Qian stunned. Before he could react, the thief flashed in the doorway and disappeared.

When the people left, the lady cried loudly and came over to untie Lu Qian. After some inspection, I learned that several servants fainted to death in their respective rooms, obviously following the path of thieves.

The lady was crying in the house and asked Lu Qian to report to Kaifeng Mansion. Lu Qian hung his head in frustration, not to mention how Kaifeng Mansion explained the source of the huge amount of gold, but said that Yu Hou, a dignified five-grade forbidden army, was injured in his bedroom, and it was still when he was taking a bath, so he couldn't tell anyone.

What's more, the thief is clearly right, the martial arts are strong and ruthless, if he is not fully precautionary, how can he dare to provoke again?

……

……

Wang Han got five gold bars and didn't sleep all night. The main currency of the Great Song Dynasty was copper money, but in the late Northern Song Dynasty, inflation and high prices increased, and copper money became inconvenient, so there was an exchange of gold and silver, one tael of silver was one thousand copper coins, and one tael of gold was twenty taels of silver.

The gold bar of Lu Qian's family is twenty-one taels, which is equal to four hundred taels of silver. Five gold bars are two thousand taels of silver, how does this make Wang Han unhappy?

If you want to say that Wang Han's behavior is bad, he doesn't think it at all, if he is an ordinary person, he may understand, for Lu Qian's kind of character, he can spare him from death, it is already very merciful. Right now, he just beat him up and took some money from him, Wang Han thought that he was already gracious.

Wang Han didn't dare to change it openly, so he smashed the gold bars into gold cakes, gold lumps, divided into three jewelry shops to change, and suffered a loss if he didn't look good, so the three roots were also exchanged for nine hundred taels of silver, and it took several days to find a suitable house in Tokyo, for which he also specially asked for the opinions of Li everyone.

Li Qingzhao doesn't like anything else, she just likes to be quiet, but she can't be too quiet, she likes the kind of tone that is hidden in the city.

said that Wang Han has no temper, and some regrets finding a literary young woman as a wife, can't cook or do laundry, and has to be romantic all day long, sentimental at every turn, and the living conditions are quite demanding. Hidden in the city, this is not the same as saying that you want to buy a courtyard house in Beijing's second ring road? On the surface, it looks low-key, but in fact it is so high-profile that it has no eyebrows.

But after all, she was teased by herself, no matter how hard she had to do it, after four or five days of running, he really found a good place, close to the small royal street not far from the edge of the imperial city, to the west is the imperial city, to the east is Jingmingfang, to the north is the Yang Building, to the south is the Donghua Gate of Mahang Street.

This place is blessed, all around is prosperous, but this alley is quiet, especially the courtyard that Wang Han is going to buy, about 300 square meters, there is a gatehouse, there is a main hall, there is a back room, and there is a small garden, the garden is full of bamboo.

Li Qingzhao likes bamboo the most, and specially explained it to Wang Han.

The master's family wanted to leave Beijing, and he was in a hurry to sell, and he could sell it for six hundred taels, Wang Han couldn't make up his mind, so he specially went to invite Li Qingzhao.

Li Qing looked at the front and back of the house, and her mood was instantly happy, especially the small bamboo forest, which made her the most satisfied, and before she passed the door, she happily planned to arrange a hammock here, so that she could enjoy the cool summer and listen to the cicadas.

If you want to say that you are not satisfied, there is.

Li Qingzhao frowned and said, "The west is the imperial city, and there is no way out." To the south, there is Mahang Street, where there are six brothels. To the north, there is Chicken Lane, thirteen brothels. To the east, it's Yulin Lane......"

Wang Han hurriedly said: "Where is the official prostitute, I can't go." ”

"However, there are alum buildings over there, and there are Jingmingfang, which are all privately owned, besides, if you take a name for yourself in the future, won't you be able to go to Yulin Lane?"

Wang Han was embarrassed, "Yes, listen to you, you have the final say in buying a house." ”
