Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 64: Eating Chicken
According to the inspector's office, the yamen Li Mao's study
Xiang Wenyao and Li Mao sat opposite each other, each with a cup of tea in front of them.
"Li Zhentai, how is the matter with Huitong Qianzhuang? I didn't have time to ask you for a banquet with the emperor yesterday. Xiang Wenyao took a sip of tea and asked.
Li Mao made a bitter face, first lowered his head and sighed, and then looked up at Xiang Wenyao and said:
"Didn't those local gentry who came to Yamen yesterday say that the Jinyi guards sealed the money village, and they couldn't take out a penny, and the people we sent out were still late."
"What about the Xie Guang family?" Xiang Wenyao still didn't give up.
"Lord Fantai, you don't really think that the Jinyi Guard is just an ornament now, right? Even if it is in Guangzhou, the emperor's side will not make such a mistake, and it has long been controlled.
I heard that Lin Fu said, before we thought of this, the emperor had already sent someone to secretly monitor Xie Guang's related people, and if it wasn't for the incident the night before yesterday, it would have been impossible to leave us a little chance. Li Mao sighed.
Xiang Wenyao also sighed and said: "Since this is the case, then our money will not be able to be returned, but looking at the emperor's attitude yesterday, even if he knows that we have some silver deposits, he should not take it to heart." ”
Li Mao nodded and said, "Your brother's eyes have always been vicious, and I think so too."
I'll just say, as a landlord, what's wrong with the two of us having a little bit of wealth? Why are those businessmen entangled in thousands of families, but we are such a big official, but we only deserve to eat bran vegetables? Surely not! ”
Xiang Wenyao dislikes it every day, and there happened to be a knock on the door outside the door.
"Who?" Li Mao asked.
"Master Li, is Wen Yao here with you?" The voice outside the door came, but it was Gong Muer's voice.
"Oh, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'm here, Brother Xiang is here." Li Mao was busy getting up to open the door, but was stopped by Xiang Wenyao with a smile.
After the door creaked open, Xiang Wenyao stood in the room and looked at his wife happily.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Xiang Wenyao asked.
"Husband, hello Lord Li." Gong Mu'er gave a blessing.
"Hello sister-in-law, these two days are official documents about Huang Xiaoqi and other thieves, I really can't spare a moment, Brother Xiang, sister-in-law, you sit first, I'm going to get busy." Li Mao said goodbye with interest.
"Brother Li, get busy." Xiang Wenyao nodded, and then brought Gong Mu'er in
door, a person behind him was holding a purple silk, and Xiang Wenyao's eyes lit up.
"Ma'am, is this?"
Gong Mu'er took the cloth with great effort, hugged it and said, "Didn't the prime minister say that he wanted to send something to the emperor?" The concubine felt that no matter what it was, the emperor would definitely not lack it.
"The Sword Comes"
Only our mind is still unique, we want to make a dress for the emperor, embroidered with the scriptures of Daode Tianzun, what does the lord think? ”
Xiang Wenyao pondered for a moment, and said with a look of surprise: "There is a legend of Sanfeng real people in the founding of this dynasty, and Emperor Taizong made a special trip to find the traces of real people.
The first emperor of the previous dynasties did not respect the real person, the Taoist scriptures embroidered the body and prayed for blessings, Your Majesty must be satisfied, Madame is really my virtuous helper! ”
Gong Mu'er looked shy and nodded slightly.
"Since the husband thinks it's okay, then the concubine will do it."
Gong Mu'er said, but her hand was held by Xiang Wenyao, the two looked at each other, and their true feelings were revealed, and Xiang Wenyao let go of his hand for a long time.
With his wife leaving, Xiang Wenyao was reluctant to withdraw his gaze for a long time, and he was still a seed of infatuation.
Li Xian and Shang Chen are also inseparable at this time, but not with his wife, but with his own bed.
It's already three poles in the sun, but the two of them are still lying down, humming and chirping in their mouths, and they feel like the world is spinning when they move.
"Brother Yuan De, didn't you say that you are not drunk after a thousand cups? How do you drink about the same amount of alcohol as me? Shang Yan looked at Li Xian with a painful face.
Li Xian turned his head away, looked at the ceiling with blank eyes and said, "Hongzai, how can I attract firepower if I don't say that?"
It's all about creating opportunities for you to find out useful information, why are you sarcastic about me here?
Hey Daoxuan, you are a great doctor, quickly prescribe a sobering decoction for us, now it is really uncomfortable, vomiting and vomiting......"
Before Li Xian finished speaking, he quickly washed his head down and spit yellow water into the bucket.
Immediately after that, Shang Zhen smelled the smell and vomited, and the room suddenly smelled sour.
Xiong Zongli has never seen any big scenes, and when he saw Li Xian and Shang Chen, he didn't even frown, he looked at the vomiting two people as usual, and just shook his head lightly in the face of Li Xian's request.
"Yuan De, Hongzai, the emperor said it himself, let you go to work, didn't really let you drink, you didn't do it well, and drank yourself
In this way, it would be good that you were not punished.
The emperor specifically instructed me not to prescribe prescriptions for you, so that you can remember for a long time. Xiong Zongli said.
When Li Xian and Shang Zhen heard this, they were filled with grief, and their tears couldn't help but flow down with yellow water.
After a long time, the two of them finally recovered some people, lying on the bed languidly, Li Xian said weakly: "That's not without gain, at least I know, there is no innocent person here." ”
The three were silent
At this time, Geng Jiuchou and Wang Hong were still the same as before, Geng Jiuchou was in charge of the prison, and together with the officials in the yamen, he interrogated the people in the temporarily established prison.
The method is very simple, directly find the head of each family, the person in charge, and then compare with a few people, the first trial is dozens of people, and those who have nothing to do are directly returned to the family.
It's just like the Huang family, but one person has not been tried and one person has not been released, according to the officials of the inspection and the Yamen, Geng Jiuchou only said that his crime is extremely evil, and it is better to let the subordinate people return to their homes first, and don't miss the autumn planting.
Wang Hong is still in charge of the guard, but at this time, Wang Hong is no longer an official, and mostly consults military households in the field, and Meng Jian personally escorts the soldiers to protect him.
"Lord Wang, it's not early, do you want to eat first?" Meng Jian saw that Wang Hong had learned about the situation of this military household and proposed.
Wang Hong looked up at the sky, and the words that he was about to refuse for some reason became: "It's all up to Lord Shilang's arrangement, thank you for this old man!" ”
Seeing that the senior official was still thanking him, the old man hurriedly hugged his fists and asked with some hesitation: "If the two adults don't dislike it, let's come to the old man's house for dinner?" ”
When Wang Hong heard this, he was overjoyed and said to Meng Jian: "What does Lord Shilang think?" You can also continue to understand the situation with the old man, and you can get two things in one sentence! ”
Meng Jian naturally had no opinion, and said to the old man: "Then bother the old man." ”
"Hehe, don't bother, don't bother, two distinguished guests, please! Old woman, there is a noble man in the family, kill that old hen! ”
"It's a common thing to eat, and the hens at home still have to lay eggs, don't be so polite!" Meng Jian hurriedly stopped.
The old man said that it was good, but soon after it was served, a pot of chicken came out of the kitchen, and the aroma was fragrant, and when he smelled it, he knew that it was the old hen that laid eggs at home, and the basin was full of golden chicken fat.
While the old couple was busy in the kitchen, Wang Hong quietly pressed a few copper coins under the basin and grinned with Meng Jian.
