Chapter 116: Nine-Story Building
When Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu returned to Ruyi's house, it was almost dawn. The proprietress got up early and was startled when she saw a few people coming back from outside.
"You guys, when did you go out?"
Xin Yi jumped out of the carriage with a smile, "Boss, find a guy to help us feed the horses and get some food." Hungry to death. ”
The proprietress was terrified.
These guests behaved strangely, her heartstrings tightened, and she looked at a few tall Lang Jun walking in, quickly pulled Xin Yi aside, and secretly said small words.
"Little lady, who are you? I want to sell the foot shop now, and save money to redeem my family, but you must not cause me trouble. ”
Xin Yi understood the proprietress's worries and patted her hand soothingly.
"Don't worry, even if it's a troublemaker, it's a good thing."
It's okay not to say that, but the boss lady is even more scared.
She glanced at Wan Carp, who was dragged into the store after being injured, and whispered, "That person doesn't look like a good person, you really knew each other before?" Little lady, you and your brother must be careful to guard against him. ”
Xin Yi groaned for a while, and saw that the proprietress was obviously tentative, for fear that she would make some moves because of nervousness and ruin their plans, so she simply spread it out and said.
"Truth be told, we're not ordinary fishermen."
The proprietress changed her face.
Xin Yi said: "My ninth brother is ...... Jianghu people call the nine-story building, I don't know if the boss has heard of it? In short, he is a person with more face than ten thousand carps, calling for wind and rain in black and white, and can do anything. As long as you follow my arrangement, tomorrow, my ninth brother will be able to rescue your master. Moreover, you don't have to transfer the shop, and the family can make a stable living in Yongqiu in the future......"
The proprietress listened in disbelief.
A heart hangs in the throat, and it can't fall down.
But Xin Yi had a reassuring face, a friendly and friendly smile, which made her subconsciously feel like she was lying.
"You mean, your brother can talk about moving Hezhi County?"
Xin Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "I will definitely be able to convince you." ”
If you don't accept it, then beat him down.
Xin Yi leaned into the ear of the proprietress and gave her such and such an order.
The proprietress changed from apprehension to panic to joy on her face, and then she changed her smile, called the men to help them feed the horses, and went to the stove to make a fire and noodles herself, cooked food for them, and asked people to bring out all the melons and fruits in the store for entertainment.
Duan Sui looked at it rarely, and walked over to ask: "Eleven Niang, what did you say to the proprietress and why is she so enthusiastic?" ”
Xin Yi smiled: "I said that Brother Jiu has great skills and can help her rescue her husband." ”
Duan Sui listened to this, glanced at her, and didn't ask any more.
After a tired night, everyone ate something and went to rest. only said that Fu Jiuqu inexplicably got the nickname of "Jiuzhonglou", and he didn't know it, but it spread all over Yongqiu the next day.
According to Xin Yi's instructions, the proprietress found several families like her husband who had family members who were arrested and imprisoned by the government, and went to Yongqiu County to be a dignitary together. She privately told these people that there was a Jianghu man named "Jiuzhonglou", who had already helped them with the work in He Zhi County, and they could release them as long as they went.
Early in the morning, a group of people gathered at the gate of the county office.
~
He Xu learned that Wan Carp had escaped last night, and he was so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night.
At dawn, he received the news from Xigang.
The person who came told him that everything had been dealt with properly, and the "cows and horses" and spices were all burned in the fire pit, and then covered with soil to cover up, even if Fu Jiuqu really found it, he couldn't find any evidence.
Half of his heart finally fell.
As long as you catch the 10,000 carp again, or kill that guy, you can live a good year comfortably.
He Xu hummed a little song to take a shower and change clothes, and was just about to go back to the room to make up for sleep, when the Dengwen drum outside sounded.
The little guy came to report, "My lord, a group of Diao people gathered at the gate of the county government to find us for someone." The porter said that they would not go, and beat the drum with a bang. ”
He Xu didn't sleep well, he was so sleepy that he yawned and waved his hand unhappily.
"Boom away, boom away. Tell them that whoever makes trouble again will be sent to prison and questioned. ”
The little guy went out and soon came back again.
"My lord, they said that there is a Jianghu man named Jiuzhonglou, who has already settled with the county magistrate. The money has been used, and let them only come and ask for ......."
"Nine-story building? This official doesn't know any nine-story building. He Xu raised his eyebrows and thought about it, anger came from it, the drowsiness was gone, and he put on his clothes and walked out.
"It must be ten thousand carp who are doing something out of it. Let's go, go out and have a look. ”
~
The road at the entrance of the Yamen in Yongqiu County was originally narrow, and in order to strengthen the courage, the dignitaries brought in relatives and friends, and there were people who rushed to the morning market and watched the excitement to surround them, blocking the whole street.
Cold.
He Xu rubbed his hands and opened the door and went out, and stopped at the gate of the county office.
"Who told you to make trouble? Don't say it, it's all for the county to catch up and eat the board. ”
When the people saw his fierce appearance, they were a little afraid.
The proprietress of the Ruyi family hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said: "The eldest lord, the woman and the head of the house have opened a foot shop in Nanxi Lane, and they have been making a living for many years, and they are often harmed by the Biangong gang, but the eldest master does not ask about the merits, and arrests my master, saying that he is a bandit, and asks us for 300 yuan to redeem it...... We finally got together the money and handed it over, why doesn't the old man's words count? ”
He Xu's face turned green.
"What nonsense, when have you ever given money to this county? Don't tarnish the innocence of this county. ”
The proprietress took out a note from her bosom.
"Master, the text is here, can you disagree with it, it is a man in the rivers and lakes called Jiuzhonglou, a man who is made for a woman...... In black and white, it is clearly written, is it difficult for your yamen to accept money and not admit it? ”
The crowd chimed in.
"Yes. yes. ”
"Master, you can't deny it."
He Xu saw that they were talking very seriously, so he hurriedly called the master and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" You accepted the money from a man named Jiujulou and promised to release him? ”
This master's surname is Wu, and he was born with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and when he heard this, he was confused, "No." Without the consent of adults, how dare the small ones make their own decisions? ”
Hum! He Xu looked at him suspiciously: "You'd better not dare." ”
The note in the boss's hand was presented by the little maid, He Xu trembled in his hand, his face turned green when he saw it, and he looked at the master through gritted teeth.
"What a big dog, you dare to collect money behind your back in this county?"
The master was shocked, glanced at the note, and looked suspicious, "No, my lord will check clearly!" Although this seal is a small name, the words are not written by a small one. Besides, even if the small ones collect money, where will they give people a written note......"
This master usually eats less and takes less, and He Xu also knows it in his heart.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the handwriting is the master's or not, he just thinks that the master did it.
Just block him during the New Year, and let the people block the door to ask for someone, which made He Xu angry for a while.
"Dog, if this thing gets out, how do you let this official behave?"
He Xu said with a pale face and ordered the officials.
"Someone came, kidnapped Master Wu to this county and put him in prison for questioning."
After saying that, he looked at the noisy people again and said loudly: "You all go back first, and the county will investigate this matter thoroughly." Guilty or not, there is justice ......"
A few officials went down to take people.
When Master Wu saw that it was going to be bad, a wave of grief and anger suddenly rose in his heart.
He knows too much about He Xu, and with He Xu's character, he will definitely sacrifice him to the sky. Ten thousand carp is a lesson for him, once he falls into prison, life and death are not up to He Xu?
If you don't plead at this time, you won't have a chance.
Master Wu struggled to break free from the clamps of the two officials, rushed directly into the crowd, and roared loudly in front of the people on the street.
"Justice? How do you know that the county is corrupt and perverts the law, when has it been asked for justice? ”
He smiled coldly, "How do you know that the county wants the little one to carry this black pot for you?" Bah! What kind of dreams, even if you die today, I will expose your evil deeds in public, so that the people of the world will know what kind of scum you are. ”
He Xu's face changed, and he pointed angrily at Master Wu, who was swearing wildly.
"Take it, take him down for the county."
He originally wanted to scare Master Wu, so that he would not do anything bold next time, and on the other hand, it was also to give an explanation to the people who made trouble, and to send the people back first.
As for what to do, isn't it up to him?
Who knows, Master Wu has been frightened by recent events, but he doesn't dare to think about He Xu's approach.
"Fellow villagers, your relatives are all in prison, some were tortured to death by He Zhi County, some are dying, and some are still breathing, but even if you take the silver to ransom people, He Zhi County will not let them go back...... The Bianhe robbery case, the king of Guangling County wanted to say the law, but Wan Liyu ran away, the people of the Biangong Gang, He Zhi County did not dare to hand it over to the king of Guangling County, he was afraid, he didn't dare, he could only torture these innocent people into tricks..."
The master shouted as he ran, and hissed at the servants.
"Don't give your life to He Zhixian anymore, brothers, my today is your tomorrow...... It's the yesterday of ten thousand carp, don't you understand? Acting for the tiger will be punished......"
"Take him, take him." He Xu was so angry that he smoked.
Master Wu is as treacherous as a mouse, he doesn't confront the officials head-on, he hides where there are many people, and for a while, the streets in front of the county government are noisy. The crowd was talking, the lead clouds in the sky were dense, and a certain kind of full emotion seemed to have reached a critical point that had to explode......
At that moment, a shout pierced the sky.
"The king of Guangling County has arrived!"
