Chapter 136: The "Secret" of Deception
It is said that when the two officials from Gulan Town were discussing important matters with Liu Zhi'er in the back hall, the little girl in Tsing Yi rushed in in a panic without paying attention, and with a sigh, she mixed up the important matter that the three of them were discussing.
As a landlord, Liu Zhi'er was naturally furious when she heard it, and her face changed drastically. The cattle here are gone, and the horses are coming again.
Li Qiusheng's life and death have made her overwhelmed to deal with, and she is under such a double attack. Liu Zhi'er withdrew her throat and immediately scolded the little girl in Tsing Yi loudly. "Little hoof, what are you panicking about? Seeing that your brother Qiusheng made such a big fuss, we were not intimidated. What is an 'uninvited guest'? As he spoke, he turned around and paused slightly, then continued. In that case, let's all come together. Let's go to the front hall and see what kind of immortal he is. ”
After that, he took Tsing Yi's little hand and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly turned his head and said to the two officials who were still stunned. "Second officer, I'm sorry. If you are out of company, the old body has to go to the front to take a look first. ”
The two officials were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly squeaked. "Shopkeeper Liu, is there anything more important than the life of this kid from your family, Li Qiusheng?"
Liu Zhi'er turned around again and replied with a straight face. "Second master, of course not. But now that people are making trouble, the old body has to take care of it. If you don't blow away all the guests in the blue and white embroidery building, we, the ginseng people, will drink the northwest wind. ”
"Well, if that's the case, then you can go. Don't worry about it for a long time, I remember that our brothers are still waiting for your words to reply to my master. The older official also sighed, and then said to Liu Zhi'er.
"Hey, sir, don't worry. The life of this kid Li Qiusheng in my family is expensive, how dare the old man bear and forget the affairs of the two masters. Liu Zhi'er replied in a daze, as if she had lost her previous panic and fear.
Liu Zhi'er and the little girl in Tsing Yi came to the front yard lobby together, and saw Liu Zhutou of the government office drinking water and tea at the table of the Eight Immortals with an old man who looked like an "official". Looking at the 'old man's dress, needless to say, Liu Zhi'er knew that this must be a person from a foreign country. As for whether 'he' is an official or what kind of work he does, Liu Zhi'er naturally has no way to know at a glance. Looking sideways again, the chief butler Ma Fu was honestly sitting around the side, respectfully serving and taking care of the two of them.
Seeing Liu Zhi'er walking in in a hurry, there seemed to be a vicious aura on her face. Liu Zhutou immediately got up and clasped his hands and saluted, "Shopkeeper Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm really ashamed to disturb you again today, I'm ashamed!" ”
Liu Zhi'er seemed to have a snowy and frosty face, but nodded to Liu Zhutou mechanically, greeted him, and replied coldly. "Liu Zhutou, what kind of northwest are you blowing today? So free to come to the blue and white courtyard to be chic? Why are you still setting up such a big scene? It seems that they don't recognize our blue and white embroidery building. ”
"Ouch, Shopkeeper Liu laughed. I, Liu, have this destiny to come to your blue and white embroidery building, happy and chic? Aren't they all your shopkeepers Liu lifting up to see love? Liu Zhutou also put on a non-serious look and said, that unpredictable face was like Liu Zhi'er ate seventeen or eighteen hateful flies in an instant, disgusting and disgusting, and couldn't vomit.
Liu Zhi'er calmed down the evil qi in her chest, patted her chest and asked directly. "Liu Zhutou, you don't have to beat around the bush. Let's be honest, what are you here for today? ”
Liu Zhutou wiped the smile on his face and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you see what this master has brought you." After that, he grabbed an object from the table of the Eight Immortals, and threw it directly in front of Liu Zhi'er without looking at it.
Liu Zhi'er raised her hand and grabbed that thing, and when she saw it, it was actually a notice document sealed by the government. The little girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly took the document and took out a notice from it. After looking at it, I don't know why, so I sent the proclamation to Liu Zhi'er's hand again.
At this time, the 'old man' who was drinking tea on the side raised his head and shouted slowly. "Shopkeeper Liu, you can see clearly. This is the notice document of our Gulan Town Official Fang, I heard that your Li Qiusheng committed a crime in Gulan Town, didn't my lord send a little one to invite you to grow old? ”
Before I had time to fold it and take a closer look, I only heard the words of the 'old man'. Liu Zhi'er's heart beat violently, and a trace of messy doubt immediately flashed in her mind. What kind of trouble is this 'man' doing? Obviously, there are two gentlemen in the backyard, and they are also officials who come to deliver letters? This is not the front hall and there is another official errand of the 'old man', and this 'old man' is obviously protected by the official of the house.
However, no matter how the 'old man' in front of him can be regarded as a genuine 'two hundred and five', as for the two 'officials' in the back hall, it is unknown. Liu Zhi'er's heart was suddenly startled by herself, and the Han water on her forehead flowed down directly. She shook her hand and gritted her teeth in hatred. "Mom, I almost fell for someone else's setup. You bastards, what are you singing about the empty city plan? ”
Seeing that Liu Zhi'er was staying in the middle with a notice paperwork, Liu Zhutou immediately turned around and shouted. "I said shopkeeper Liu, you have also seen the wind and waves. Why did a notice of paperwork leave you stunned there? Didn't you make me laugh? ”
After Liu Zhutou shouted like this, Liu Zhi'er was like a demon who had escaped from the spell, and immediately put on a fierce posture that the old bustard's mother should have. "Liu Zhutou, you don't make fun of me. Now I, Liu Zhi'er, am a pawn who is riddled with lawsuits and murder? If you take a step closer to me Liu Zhi'er, I'm afraid that you will be dragged into the water. In my opinion, let's draw a clear line of the Han River, so as not to stain your stalks. ”
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't just mess with us shrimp soldiers and crab generals. This is not something that we little characters can save, so you might as well find another way. Liu Zhutou blushed for a while and said in a low voice, as if he no longer had the smug look he had just now.
"I know that you uncles are unreliable, so my mother won't make trouble with you people. It's all gone, the old lady looks upset! Liu Zhi'er suddenly said with a look of disgust, turned around and walked inside, and didn't look back at them again.
Liu Zhutou was as straightforward as a dog for a while, painful and helpless. I had to bow my head and say, "Okay, since Shopkeeper Liu has said it so clearly, then my brother is embarrassed to stay any longer." Besides, our letter has also been delivered to you personally, so our brother's business will be completed. Shopkeeper Liu, let's leave here, you will be fine all the way. ”
Liu Zhier and the little girl in Tsing Yi had walked out of the lobby and never looked back to say another word. only stubbornly cursed Liu Zhutou's face, and silently took the 'old man' out of the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building.
Besides, Liu Zhi'er made a fuss in the front hall again, and simply ordered Liu Zhutou to expel customers. Rolled up the hand of the little girl in Tsing Yi and walked to the back hall of the backyard, and the other subordinates didn't dare to ask more when they saw Liu Zhi'er put on such a scary look, lest they avoid it.
As soon as Liu Zhi'er stepped into the back hall, the two officials who had been waiting for a long time came over and asked. "Shopkeeper Liu, what kind of mess was there in the front hall just now? Make your old man so angry? ”
The little girl in Tsing Yi had a quick mouth, glanced at the two officials sideways, pouted and said. "It's not that you letter deliverers are making trouble, all of them are talking about things under the title of an official, who knows what kind of dirty ghost idea they have in their stomachs."
"Oh, the messenger again?" The older official asked in surprise. The little girl in Tsing Yi was about to raise her face to answer, but she heard Liu Zhi'er's mouth squeak 'Hmm' and stopped. Tsing Yi retreated and said no more.
Liu Zhi'er had regained her former shrewdness at this time, and when she looked at the scene in front of her, she seemed to understand what was happening, and hurriedly forked in the road with a smile.
"Two officials, don't listen to this little girl's chatter. She, she doesn't understand anything, she just knows how to make trouble for the two masters. Just now, it was obvious that the outer hall broke into a drunken old man who 'sent relatives' to the wrong place, and was subdued by Liu Zhutou of the mansion in his blind bag. This girl told the two officials that she was the one who 'sent the letter', the two masters, what kind of climate do you say this girl can be? Isn't this angry with me, an old lady? ”
When the two officials heard Liu Zhi say this, they seemed to believe it a little, and they didn't ask any more. The older official then turned his head and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, let's continue the topic just now, don't waste time." ”
Liu Zhi'er seemed to sigh lightly and asked pretending to be ignorant. "Two officials, did we say anything just now? I can't remember. ”
Hearing Liu Zhi'er say this, the two officials were stunned, glanced at Liu Zhi'er, and said. "Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Liu, didn't we talk about your family's Li Qiusheng's life experience just now? How can you forget it in a blink of an eye? ”
Liu Zhi'er suddenly paused, sighed and said. "Hey, two officials, I just said it clearly, don't you two still understand? This kid's background is as white as a piece of paper, and there is nothing, what do you want me to say? ”
In fact, at this time, Liu Zhi'er had already made up her mind in her heart, and she had vaguely felt that the person who sent the letter was a little weird. As the saying goes, "You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." ”
The two officials asked tightly, "Shopkeeper Liu, think about it again." Is there anything particularly disturbing about Li Qiusheng's matter? If so, tell the truth. Our two brothers also have a time patience, if you don't say it again, then our two brothers have to say goodbye first. If there is anything in the future, our brother can't control it. ”
Liu Zhi'er was in a hurry when she saw the two officials, and she actually said such threatening words. Her heart was much more relaxed at the moment, and Bi Jing now understood the truth of this matter.
There must be someone who wants to get the news of Li Qiusheng's life experience from her mouth, but she can't tell who is loyal and who is traitorous from these people for a while? She had to keep the last trace of secret for Li Qiusheng, this kid.
The two officials saw that Liu Zhi'er had made up his mind and refused to say half a word, and he was helpless for a while. The two of them thought about it for a while, and immediately said angrily with a sullen face. "Since Shopkeeper Liu refuses to say it, then our brother will leave." With that, the two left angrily.
The next person who greeted the guest at the door turned back to pursue the two. For a while, I didn't know where the two of them had dispersed, and they had disappeared without a trace.
