Chapter 68 Zhixia
Yun Chu listened to the movement outside for a while, then took a bite of the bread and meat again, and said, "We have already hidden, not afraid." ”
The little woman lit the oil lamp, pointed to Yun Chu's green shirt and said, "You are an official, why don't you run out to escort at this time?" ”
Yun Chu said with a smile: "There are a lot of guards around the nobles, so you don't need me to go out, besides, I don't have weapons at hand." ”
The man quickly stuffed a thick-backed bone chopping knife into Yun Chu's empty hand and said, "Go quickly." ”
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then put the knife aside and said to the little woman, "Is there any water?" Choking on dry biscuits. ”
The man stood up, pointed at Yun Chu and said, "You are also a rammer who can eat." ”
Yun Chu was not ashamed when he heard this, and said to the beautiful little woman: "You shouldn't be from a poor family, right?" ”
Seeing Yun Chu's two eyes looking directly at her, the little woman nodded shyly and said, "I have been a servant in the big courtyard for a few years. ”
Yun Chu took a bite of the cake and swallowed it and said: "It's not right at first glance, don't look at this is a small workshop, and the means of doing things can be seen to be extraordinary, alas, why don't I have such a capable servant in my family." ”
The little woman was embarrassed to see that the man selling the baked cakes did not dare to speak, and finally only sighed.
Yun Chu said to the man again: "Your mother-in-law is good." ”
The man yelled at Yun Chu: "Thief, your mother! ”
When Yun Chu clapped her hands and came out of the Hu Cake Workshop, the little woman trembled and handed Yun Chu a Hu Cake with meat, and asked in a low voice, "What Lang Jun said is true?" ”
Yun Chu looked at the man who fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and said, "Live your life well, don't think about those things that you have and don't have all day long." ”
After that, he left Guangfufang with a lotus leaf-wrapped cake and meat with an umbrella, and looked back and remembered this small shop, the things are good, and you can come often in the future.
When he re-embarked on Suzaku Street, the nobles had already left, and the Jin Wuwei all rushed into the alleys and searched everywhere.
After crossing Zhuque Street, passing through the four markets of Anye, Zhangde, Chongxian, and Changshou, Yun Chu took the frozen Hu cake and meat into his arms, shook off the thick snow powder on the oil paper umbrella, and entered Fengyi Fang.
Fengyi Fang occupies a large area, behind which is the tall and majestic Chang'an city wall, and for defense considerations, it is inhabited by lowly merchants.
In the event of an incident, the defenders at the head of the city will be able to tear down the stones and bricks of Fengyi Fang to defend against the enemy.
Just walked into the door, Yun Chu was almost lifted by the stench of the sun-dried sauce, tied his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and after getting used to it for a while, Yun Chu walked into Fengyi Fang.
There are many pedestrians on the inner streets here, including horse-drawn carts, ox carts, donkey carts, and even wheelbarrows.
However, the carriages are basically carriages with green cloth curtains as the roof, which means that there will be no nobles here all year round.
Yun Chu even thought that placing the sauce workshop at the gate of the workshop was itself a strategy for the merchants here, that is, they didn't want to let those nobles such as checking accounts, blackmailing, and their nobles come in.
The more he walked inside, the more Yun Chu thought that his guess was correct, because, after walking three hundred meters forward, the taste of the sauce jar disappeared completely, replaced by a slightly sweet taste of sake lees.
The streets are full of wine flags, and the wine flags are very high, and the wine flags of each family are higher than the wine flags of the others.
This kind of long flag is blown by the wind, making the handwriting on the wine flag seem to come to life, which is very advertising.
Ruyi is a very nice name, and Zhixia is also a very good name, but the tavern is not very good.
Other people's wine flags are tall and majestic, only the wine flags with the word Ruyi written on them wilted and stuck on the flagpole, refusing to flutter alive.
However, this is not to blame the wine flag, because it is too short, the height of other people's wine flags basically exceeds the city wall, only the Ruyi wine flag is shorter than the city wall, and naturally there is no wind to blow it.
Yun Chu stood at the door of the Ruyi Wine Workshop and observed for a moment, it was snowing heavily today, it was a good time for the guests to cook wine and enjoy the snow, at the door of other people's wine shops, all the guys who came in and out were holding the wine jars, only the door of this Ruyi Wine Shop was deserted.
Just when Yun Chu was about to enter the Ruyi Wine Workshop, a man in a Lan shirt strode out from inside, shouting and scolding as he walked: "Lao Tzu wants to gamble money, what can you do with Lao Tzu, it is already Lao Tzu who can take in your mother and son on weekdays."
Now Lao Tzu is not allowed to gamble! ”
A woman with a disheveled hair hurriedly caught up and begged, "This is the last bit of money, without this money, how can you let me buy koji and make wine." ”
The man kicked down the woman and scolded angrily: "It's really unlucky to marry you, for more than ten days, and you will lose money." ”
Yun Chu walked over with a smile, and when the man passed by Yun Chu, somehow, the man actually stepped into the air, and in front of the crowd of people watching the excitement, he leaned on the steps hewn out of the blue stone.
Yun Chu reached out to grab it, but he grabbed a void, and the bridge of the man's nose hit the sharp corner of the blue stone steps hard.
With a click, the man's tense body immediately softened, and he saw a pool of black-red blood set off by the snow flowing down the steps like a stream.
"Ahh
Yun Chu hurriedly dodged to the side, and quickly arched his hand to the crowd around him: "Please give a testimony to a certain family, this person has nothing to do with this official." ”
Originally, the people who found out that watching the excitement and seeing it was a tragedy were about to leave, but suddenly heard Yun Chu say the word "official", and suddenly stopped, and a person wearing a white felt hat on his head stepped forward and arched his hand: "What Lang Jun said is very true, this Cao Wu patronized and scolded his mother-in-law, and he didn't look at the road when he went out, so he fell." ”
Yun Chu immediately said to the winery guy who stayed at the scene: "Hurry up and get some wine, a certain family wants to invite all the neighbors to drink wine to warm up today." ”
The man got a handful of copper coins, and immediately took out a large jar of wine, put it in Yun Chu's hand, and went to help the poor woman.
Yun Chu poured a big sip of wine, stuffed the wine jar into the hand of the man wearing a white felt hat and said, "Take a sip of wine, go and get rid of bad luck." ”
The man was not polite, he picked up the wine jar and drank it with a bang, which caused the anger of the public, and for a while, the big wine jar was full of hands of people who wanted to drink.
The woman shook the body of the man who had fallen to the ground vigorously, but received no response.
Yun Chu knew that the man was dead, and with one foot in the air, the upside-down onion gathered the weight of his whole body on his head, and then hit the head that could concentrate his whole body weight on the sharp steps, even if the head was not broken, the thin neck must have been broken alive.
After seeing the scene and asking everyone present, he covered the man's face with a piece of linen, saying that he would wait until the arrival of the catcher and the fight.
As a witness, Yun Chu naturally couldn't leave easily.
Just when everyone finished drinking a jar of wine, a group of bad people came.
Seeing that it was not a fast catch, but a bad person, the chief hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The chief Teng Cheng has seen all the bad handsomes. ”
The leader of the bad man hummed a word in his nostrils, even if he was courteous, squatted down and lifted the linen, glanced at the dead man, and then pulled the man's head, the soft neck no longer supported the neck, so the head shook twice roundly.
The bad guy stood up and said, "Who was closest to this man when he died?" ”
Yun Chu stood up but didn't give up his hand, nodded and said: "A certain family, at that time, a certain family was about to enter the door, he wanted to go out, but he didn't expect this person to fall to his death as soon as he stepped into the air, if you don't believe it, you can ask your neighbors." ”
The bad guy didn't ask the neighbors, but continued to say to Yun Chu: "Can you know Cao Wu?" ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"Do you have any money dealings with Cao Wu?"
Yun Chu frowned and said: "This official has just returned from the Western Regions, and before today, he has never seen this Cao Wu, and he has no money to deal with. ”
When the bad man heard Yun Chu say this, he put away his arrogant appearance in the past, and asked, "I don't know who this Langjun's surname is, where his home is, and I don't know where he works in the yamen?" ”
Yun Chu lazily raised his hand and saluted: "The surname Yun is a single word, I live in the Yun family in Jinchangfang, and I am currently working as a doctor in the Taiyi Department." ”
When the bad people heard that Yun Chu was working in the Imperial Medical Department, they arched their hands again: "I believe that Dr. Yun will not have anything to do with this pimpy Cao Wu, but just for Dr. Yun, I want to ask, why is Dr. Yun here in Ruyi Wine?" ”
Yun Chu sighed and said: "Before a certain family came to Chang'an, the Yamen was appointed in the Qiuci Daguan Order, and in the first battle of Qiuci, the people in the Yamen were almost wiped out except for me...... There were too many colleagues who died in the war, and Shangguan felt that the Daguan Ling Yamen was still useful, so he rewarded a sum of money and ordered a certain family to bring Chang'an to comfort the orphans. ”
The woman with empty eyes sat on the steps so quietly, guarding her dead husband, but when Yun Chu's words got into her ears, she actually snapped, and before she could breathe, she fell softly on her husband's body.
Yun Chu stretched out his hand to pinch her person, but he didn't expect that after pinching for a long time, this woman didn't look like she was about to wake up.
When he touched her neck with his hand, he stood up with a sigh and said to the bad guys: "The people are gone!" ”
The bad man visited the woman's snort, spat and said: "It's really angry, bad luck, this death will die together, and it can be regarded as their blessing, okay, okay, everyone disperses, let the people of the Cao Wu family come out to collect the corpse." ”
Yun Chu saw that the bad guy didn't mention the money, so he grabbed the bad guy's wrist and said, "According to my brother's request, there is a sum of money to be delivered to a woman named Zhixia. ”
"I'm Zhixia!"
A cold voice came from the back house, and immediately, a woman in Tsing Yi turned out.
Her face was very pale, and she ignored the pair of men and women who fell on the steps, but looked directly into Yun Chu's eyes and asked, "Did that fat man really sacrifice his life for the country in Qiuzi?" ”
