Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Bai Zhi thought that it was rare for Lord Lu to trust her so much, and to give her such an important task, she must behave well and not let Lord Lu down. So the next day, she asked the four girls to be brought to her again, and had a conversation with her with reason, and with emotion, of course, she basically said it herself in the process, and the four girls kept their heads down indifferently.

Naturally, this conversation ended in failure.

In the next two days, Bai Zhi made persistent efforts, and asked the four girls to speak for more than an hour every day, but the helpless thing was that every time they returned in vain, the four girls' mouths seemed to be glued, and she didn't necessarily answer a single sentence when she asked ten words.

After being frustrated again and again, Bai Zhi was a little discouraged, and sat in the room with a long sigh, feeling that the task given to her by Lord Lu seemed to be unfinishable.

Lu Zhiyuan has also been a little worried recently, Ye Zongping sent people to keep an eye on Qiu Xin's side, but it was quiet, there was no wind and grass at all, and three days passed quietly.

On the night of the fourth day, a cold moon hung in the sky, scattering white light.

There was a sudden wind all around, it would be late autumn, and the cold wind blowing on the body made people shiver. The two yacha guarding the door of the hat cat alley are listless one by one, and it is no wonder that they have been guarding from morning to night every day for the past few days, staring at the black wooden door of the mountain, and they have not gained anything at all.

"It's so cold this day, it would be nice if I had a sip of wine to warm up." One of the men snorted as he spoke, and he reached out to the man next to him, "Why don't we go get a pot of wine to satisfy our hunger?" ”

Another man knocked on his head, "You glutton, don't pay attention, we have serious business, if you let Lord Ye know that we are secretly drinking, be careful of our rice bowls." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately shrank his head, "I am both old and young, and if I have no job, my family will starve." ”

Another person scoffed, "Look at your little bit of talent, just be on an errand if you know it's important." ”

Neither of them spoke again, and in the blink of an eye another hour passed.

This night, the wind was cooler than usual, and the two yacha would be cold and hungry, and they couldn't help but miss the hot kang head of their wife and son at home.

"Boss, do you smell anything?" The man said and sniffed carefully, his eyes lit up, "Is it the smell of wine, or the best rice wine." ”

Hearing this, the other person just wanted to say that he was stunned, where can there be a smell of wine in the middle of the night, but he didn't open his mouth, and he smelled it himself.

"It's really wine."

The smell of wine became stronger and stronger, drifting into the noses of the two people with the wind, and the wine worms in the stomach of the hook drilled into the bones one by one.

The smell of wine became stronger and stronger, and the two of them waited for a short time when they saw an old man with a wine barrel coming out of the alley, and the old man was staggering and humming a small tune in his mouth.

The two officials glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward to block the old man's way.

"Who's wandering in the streets in the middle of the night!"

The old man was already drunk, and when he saw someone talking in the dark, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and almost collapsed to the ground.

His body was crooked, and the wine in the barrel poured out, and the smell of wine became even stronger, and the yacha swallowed hard.

"The good man spares his life, the little one has no money for you." The old man seemed to think that the two of them were robbing halfway, so frightened that his face turned white, and he begged for mercy vigorously.

It was the first time that the yacha had been treated as a thief, and he couldn't help but be angry and fresh, he scolded the old man, "Okay, don't shout, I'm an official from the Yamen of Bai'an County, not a halfway robbery." ”

The old man didn't believe it at all, "Why haven't the officials gone back to rest at this time, don't think I'm a countryman to be deceived." ”

Yacha sneered, lifted his shirt and took out the waist tag hanging around his waist, "See, we have business here." ”

The old man saw the words on it clearly by the moonlight, but he didn't know the words, but it didn't prevent him from knowing the sign of the county government, this time he believed it, he said with a smile, "It turns out that the official is handling the case here, and the little one is giving the official a gift." ”

Yacha smiled, and before he could speak, a person came from the shadows behind him, and said in an unhappy voice, "Why are you delaying so much time." ”

The old man looked at another person, thinking that since these two people were together, they must be all errands, so he said respectfully, "It's suddenly cold down on this day, do you want to drink a bowl of wine to warm up your body." ”

"Who are you, why don't you come home so late, what kind of wine are you selling here?" In the past few days, the two of them have been guarding the mouth of this alley, and they are familiar with the people who come and go here, and there are no old men who sell alcohol living here.

They are all people who have been on errands for many years, although they are greedy, but their brains are still clear, and their first reaction when they encounter this situation is suspicion.

The old man grinned with a look of ill will, "The little mother-in-law is not at home today, and the little one wants to go out after selling the wine and relax quickly, who knows that the girl is so angry, the tossing little legs are weak, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he came here in a daze." ”

The two yacha naturally understood what he meant by loose and loose, and the place two streets away from this street was a flower willow alley.

The alleys are full of women in the skin business. Many years ago, this alley was just an ordinary alley, so named because of the flowers on both sides of the road and willows on the other.

Later, I don't know which year, there was a woman named Ruhua in the Qinglou who lived, Ruhua was also a smash hit in the Qinglou when she was young, but the people who did the leather and meat business, when they reached the age, there were many newcomers on top, and gradually the Ruhua business was not good, and she was kicked out.

After living in Hualiu Lane, Ruhua unexpectedly found another way to make money, that is, the men in the neighborhood.

As the saying goes, house flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers, and men still like wild flowers outside in their bones. Although Ruhua was already a wildflower of some age at that time, she also had the advantage of being old, and many old men liked her like this.

Not long after she lived, a man knocked on the door of Ruhua, and then two or three, these men became her regular customers little by little, and Ruhua settled the account, and the income of this month was even more than the previous year.

Ruhua's business started in full swing, and later all the women in the Qinglou who quit because of their age, such as flowers were collected in Hualiu Lane, year after year, there are more and more women in this alley.

One by one, the residents of the neighborhood have moved away, and now it has been completely reduced to a place for men to have fun, and the people at the bottom of the class are here.

"Since it's a mistake, let's go quickly. We are handling cases here, and don't get close to the idlers. The slightly older Yacha said with a cold face.

Although he said this, he was also aroused by gluttony just now, which would smell the aroma of wine and scratch his heart and scratch his liver.

When the other younger one heard this, he was immediately a little anxious, and quietly pulled his companion's sleeve, and whispered, "It's still a few hours before dawn, and I'm dying of hunger." ”

The old man's ears were bright, and he said with a smile when he heard the words, "The small one still has a little wine left, and I bought half a roast chicken at night and didn't eat it, if the two officials don't dislike it, the small one will be used to honor the two." ”

"Look, Boss—"

The older yacha said with a cold face, "Have you forgotten the silver robbery case a few years ago, at that time, someone went to sell wine, and the yacha who harmed them all drank wine and their hands and feet were weak, and finally they were taken advantage of, and the silver has not been found until now, and what happened to those yacha have you also forgotten?" ”

Hearing this, the wine worm in the yacha just now was suddenly frightened, and he looked at the old man with a different look in his eyes, "Did you old man also put sweat medicine in the wine?" ”

The more the old man heard this, the more it didn't taste good, he suddenly became angry, and he was not afraid of the strength of the wine, and said angrily, "What is the reason for you two, I originally thought that giving you the wine for you to drink is also to warm your body, but you actually regard me as such a black-hearted person." Lord Ye also said a few days ago that he would make decisions for the people, and I will definitely go to the county yamen to ask for an explanation! ”

Both of them were pierced by his loud voice, and the sound was even more obvious in the dead of night. There are people living around here, if the disturbing people wake up, and then go to the yamen to complain, it is difficult to ensure that Lord Ye will not blame them for not doing things well.

As he spoke, the old man was about to leave with his burden, and he scolded a few words in his mouth.

The two yacha glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly, the younger one stepped forward and said a few softening words, but the older one kept a calm face and didn't speak.

"You officials can't bully people like this, I'm kind enough to be guessed by you like this." The old man was still a little angry when he spoke, he bent down to open the lid of the wine barrel, took the wine ladle and filled a scoop of wine, drank it in front of the two yacha, and wiped his mouth and said, "I drank it myself, you can see if there is any sweat medicine!" ”

Seeing that he had drunk the wine, the younger yacha had completely relieved, and he nodded busily and said, "What kind of rice is this wine made of old man, why does it taste so fragrant?" ”

"It's made with white rice from our village and my family's ancestral secret recipe." The old man said with a smug look, "I'm not afraid to tell you, for several generations, my family's wine has even been praised by the Son of Heaven." ”

Yacha smiled, and said in his heart that this little old man can really boast, how could the Son of Heaven drink his wine.

But laughing and laughing, the atmosphere eased, and the young yacha took out the silver and bought the old man's remaining wine plus half of the roast chicken.

The old man repeatedly excused himself and said that he didn't want to, and finally he couldn't stop the yacha from getting angry, so he accepted the money.

The young yacha couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and take a big sip of wine, the spicy sensation running down his throat made his stomach burst hot, and this heat also dispelled the chill of many nights.
