Chapter 40: Trouble with the goblins
Another autumn rain is coming, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Half a month after Huang Guirong left, I don't know where she has been, I received a letter three days ago, saying that she has been gone for more than half of the time, and it is estimated that she will be there in a few days.
I don't know if she has arrived in the past few days, whether she has found Guan Shanmeng, and whether she has seen the head of Guan Shanmeng.
I'm quite interested in this godsister, and I know how to worry about it.
Don't look at the cold weather these days, you have to continue to practice the exercises in the morning, and you can't relax, what you pay attention to is to practice in winter and summer.
They also put on thick clothes, and although it was not yet the coldest time, every household began to stock up on firewood, which had been used for the winter.
Although it is a sunny day today, the weather in the north will be very cold in September, and there will be frost in the morning and evening.
When the people outside the city began to harvest in the autumn, the people in the city were much more leisurely than the people outside the city.
Tomorrow, September 10th, the day of the unified killing of the head at the entrance of the vegetable market, it is a big festival in the city, and there will be a bunch of ordinary people to watch, clap their hands and Chen Kuai, or the literati and ink artists will celebrate with their crowns.
Zhang Xiaojia has been running to the yamen these days, and there are several wealthy businessmen looking for him, and he is ready for autumn beheading.
The yamen came to him because of the funeral business of the corpse that no one cared about after the beheading.
The rich man looking for him is also a funeral business after the beheading.
See, no matter what you were like in life, it will be the same after death, and the executioner will not exchange the decapitation knife for gold just because you have money and power.
The only difference is that rich people can make an appointment with a mage, a coffin, and a sewer in advance, and wait until the beheading, and the funeral process will not change.
As for the poor, it is also this process, but they don't know the mage, and it is not easy to make a coffin.
They hope that they will be treated with Jiangyang thieves from other places, at least these death row prisoners who have no relatives and no reason in this county, and the court can still pay for the funeral.
Zhang Xiaojia has been very busy these days, and there are four wealthy businessmen who have been beheaded in the autumn of this year, two of whom are colluding with officials, and two are because of murder.
In fact, there may only be four wealthy businessmen who have broken the law.
These four are just Xianlai County's relatively large influence, and the evidence is conclusive, and they can't be hidden, and it is not enough to be angry if they are not killed, and they cannot be concealed if they are not killed.
Otherwise, how could there be only that.
So, some things are dirty.
For example, the daughter of the richest man in Xianlai County, the "talented girl" who wrote a book in the capital, said that she was going back to Xianlai in the next few days, and said that she planned to spend the New Year in Xianlai.
In the past few days, it has spread outside, and the people have welcomed it, and they have expressed great enthusiasm for the return of this well-known "talented girl".
There is also a group of literati outside who discuss and discuss all day long, when will this girl come back, and she will definitely give them their worship in person.
Hei Haoqin, who heard the news last night, had insomnia, and muttered while chopping wood:
"Those literati show talents, are they blind?
Who's worthy of worship?
That's it, I'll close my eyes and write ten songs, won't I just and pee fart, who wouldn't! ”
Click!
Firewood in a batch of two halves.
Instantaneous breakage.
It can be seen how angry he is.
Haozi is angry, a little angry.
Zhang Xiaoyi was reading a book on the side, listening to his indignation, and he couldn't stand it.
"What is the name of the richest man's daughter, you know?"
"What is it called?"
"Then don't scold the street here, when she comes back, you go outside and scold in front of her."
Haozi stopped with the hand that raised the axe, and turned around and said: "Yes, when the time comes, I will definitely write a banner, just write the shame of immortals, and I will hold her to the highest." I'll let them all see, and the common people are not blind!
Master, what do you think of my method? ”
Zhang Xiaoyi put down the book, stood up and stretched his waist and said, "It's good." ”
"But when the time comes, don't say you're our family."
Wang Huahua also walked out of the house.
"Why, ma'am?"
"Looking for trouble."
Wang Huahua glanced at Haozi and saw that the firewood was okay.
It seems that there is a Gao Zhenzhen who supports him, and he is working harder than usual to chop firewood.
"Are you just going to let her go away with it like this?"
"Then what else can you do, do you think that the people of our immortals are blind? You are a literate person who knows what truth, goodness and beauty are? ”
"Isn't it?" Haozi thought about it again.
"Chop your firewood."
Wang Huahua walked up to Zhang Xiaoyi and took out a silver ingot from her body.
"Mother."
"You go to Zhao Ji cloth shop and settle the account for me, a total of seventeen taels and six dollars of silver, don't forget."
"Okay."
Zhang Xiaoyi took the silver, put the book back in the study, put on his clothes and prepared to go out.
Haozi is still indignant, and Zhang Xiaoyi is helpless.
Or simple.
Everyone understands it, so he drills the horns.
It's not that the literati are blind, but Gao Zhen's real surname is Gao. Because of their high family names, their talents will be blinded.
He didn't even hear the name of the richest man when he reminded him of the name of the richest man's daughter.
With all the silver and outside, Zhao Jibu was spread on Zhuque Street, and Zhang Xiaoyi walked along the side of the road towards Zhuque Street.
There are people who sell baked cakes, Zhang Xiaoyi bought a meat baked cake and ate it while walking.
After walking a few steps, I found that a black cat had been following behind me.
He was a little annoyed with cats now, because he didn't know what the day it was these days, and there was always a group of cats fighting outside every night.
Zhang Xiaoyi actually likes cats, but he likes to like them, but it doesn't mean that he can tolerate cats crying wolves at night.
The little black cat is very cute, with pitch-black fur that is as shiny as wax, and two eyes that are blue and red.
The blue one was just his normal color, and the red one was supposed to be injured.
Zhang Xiaoyi looked at the black cat, and then at the meat cake that he had just bitten twice.
Break off a piece and place it on the ground.
Sure enough, the black cat leaned over and ate the pancakes.
Zhang Xiaoyi saw that it was eating and devoured it, so he simply put the remaining half of the baked cake on the ground.
Continuing to walk, the black cat did not follow.
Zhang Xiaoyi came to Zhuque Street and found Zhao Ji's cloth shop.
After walking in, the guy hurried out.
"What do you want to see?"
"Settle the bill, Wang Huahua's account."
"Oh!"
As soon as the shopkeeper heard the bill, he hurriedly walked out of the counter with the account book in his hand.
"Take a look."
"Seventeen taels and six cents, right?"
"Yes, yes, seventeen taels and six dollars."
"That's the end."
Zhang Xiaoyi put twenty taels of silver on the table and waited for the shopkeeper to find the money.
Looking out the door, there are people coming and going on the street, especially in a bustling street like Suzaku Street, where there are more people and most of them are gorgeously dressed.
I'm looking at it,
I saw five people wearing gray fairy robes with swords on their backs walking over.
"Shopkeeper, there are immortals in the city?"
The shopkeeper also looked outside with the silver in his hand, and said, "I came here yesterday, and I don't know what I'm doing here, so we don't dare to ask or inquire." ”
Zhang Xiaoyi nodded, took the recovered silver and walked out of the cloth shop, looking at the young immortals and shaking his head secretly.
Is this the Immortal?
It's very different from Chen Xiyi.
Chen Xiyi is gentle and elegant, speaks softly, and at least treats people equally.
And these people, although they are very good-looking and gorgeously dressed, five people, three men and two women, all wear silver crowns and jade hairpins.
This is inconsistent with the immortals in Zhang Xiaoyi's impression, because these people are too noblely dressed.
It's not that it's not good to be noble, it's just that it's too noble, and I always feel that they have a sense of arrogance.
Shaking his head,
Zhang Xiaoyi didn't pay any attention to them anymore.
Continue along the side of the road,
suddenly
A thunderbolt shot up into the sky, frightening passers-by to dodge.
Zhang Xiaoyi also got out of the way and looked at those immortals.
I saw one of them, holding a sword, pointing at a man, and the man with a wolf's head and a human body was struggling to support.
It's a goblin......
