It wasn't until the end of dinner that Zhen Ping'er led a group of little maids back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. It is said that the county lord arranged for them to go to the granary for inspection. It's not early or late, just as I went out to check at the end of the meal, I really don't know what Tang Mei thinks.

The maids came back from the canteen with food boxes and gathered in the small pavilion to eat the food that was still warm.

Su Bottle stood not far from the small pavilion and watched them eat.

The maid's food was really rough. But they're used to it and don't find it hard to swallow. Especially Tang Ting's dry and thin little maid, she gobbled up her food. Seeing that Su Bottle had a distressed look on his face, and at the same time there was a slightly comforting smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tang Ting found that Su Bottle was looking at her, she was a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she changed to a small stutter. After eating two bites, a pair of big eyes secretly glanced at my uncle. Finding that her uncle was still looking at her, her face was flushed to her neck, and she turned her head in a hurry.

Everyone ate quickly, but Yang Liu'er seemed to be depressed, and every bite seemed to be swallowing medicine.

Yang Liuer came from a well-off family, and if she hadn't been trafficked, she would have eaten fine grains. The more she ate, the more sad she became, and the handsome girl shed tears while eating. When asked why she was crying, she only said that the wind and sand had blinded her. This scene made Su Bottle's heart not taste.

At this time, Concubine Kong and Concubine Lin, with their heads held high, came together, and brought their children, Tang Yan and Tang Yuan, two children carved in pink and jade, Su Bottle also liked it.

The two side concubines went upstairs and chatted with Tang Mei about the tooth sacrifice. The little boy Tang Yan took Tang Yan and ran to Su Bottle, smiling and saying that he wanted to learn martial arts with his sister-in-law. Learn martial arts to fight Wang Tian, Zhen Dao, Shi Chong, three stinky boys.

Su Bottle asked him, those three dare to bully you?

Tang Yan said, it's not that they bully me, but that I want to challenge the boys in the class, but these three can't beat them. The manly man competes in private, and he is not allowed to tell the teacher's parents, otherwise he will be looked down upon by his classmates, and his sister-in-law should also keep it secret.

Su Bottle taught them entry-level martial arts, serial mandarin duck legs, that Tang Yan is a very spiritual child, and he can brush it well after learning it a few times, but the porcelain doll-like Tang Yan can't learn it, with a worried expression.

Su Bottle laughed and said that girls don't learn martial arts, but they are also popular. Hearing this, the little porcelain white girl with a pair of big eyes in a bun with her head tied to her head laughed. I also knitted a wicker head ring and gave it to my sister-in-law.

After a while, the two side concubines took the children away, Su Bottle sat on the small bed, cultivated internal strength, and was in a good state today, only feeling that there was a possibility of a breakthrough in a few veins, so he held his breath and continued to impact. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, but I felt tired.

fell down, ready to sleep, suddenly heard a whining cry from next door, thought it was Feng Die crying, and then heard the sound of talking, only to know that there was no maid in the next room now.

Su Bottle turned over and got out of bed, knocked on the window and asked, who is it and why are you crying?

Yang Liu'er's voice came from the house, only the abdominal pain, just endure it.

Su Bottle said: "I guess you don't have abdominal pain, but homesickness, right?" Why don't you write a letter to your home, and I'll mail it for you. Let your father come to Luoyang and redeem you. I will intercede with the county lord and don't want your father to have too much money. ”

Yang Liu'er said happily: "Uncle is very kind, Liu Er is unforgettable." Just begged my uncle, or asked in advance to redeem the price, so as to save my father from running for nothing. This is thousands of miles away, and a round trip is a layer of skin. ”

Su Bottle said: "I feel sorry for my father, what a good daughter." ”

After that, Su Bottle turned his head to look at Qinxiang Xiaozhu, only to see that there was still a light in the small building, it seemed that the county lord had not yet slept, so Su Bottle went to Xiaozhu to ask Tang Mei's opinion.

Tang Mei had taken off her robe and was wearing a casual long skirt, and her hair bun had been torn apart and draped over her shoulders.

Listening to Su Bottle's invitation for Yang Liu'er, Tang Mei said: "I also sympathize with her tragic experience." If her parents come to pick her up, I can even let her go without money. But she is a palace maid, and her birth, old age, sickness and death must be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every month. And she stayed in Luoyang because she was paid a monthly salary. If you leave Luoyang, there will be no more. ”

Su Bottle was curious: "How can she have a monthly salary?" ”

Tang Mei said: "The new emperor ascended the throne, the concubines left the palace one after another, and most of the palace maids were also cleaned up. Many palace maids were fortunate to be visited by the first emperor, and such palace maids have a fortune to take. It's not much, but it's enough to eat. Their maids were taken care of by Tang Zhao, and they were treated as the maids of the Linxing Palace, so they had a monthly salary. ”

Su Bottle asked, "How much money do you have?" ”

Tang Mei said: "One tael or three coins of silver in a month, or one stone and two buckets of rice." ”

One stone and two buckets, almost one hundred and fifty catties in later generations, an average of five catties of rice a day, and the little girl can't be eaten to death.

Hearing this, Su Bei decided to talk to Yang Liu'er, this is the imperial food that can be eaten for a lifetime, did he really decide to give up?

"Hey, you're really worried about this day, and you take care of the maid's business? Don't you have a crush on her, do you? Just when Su Bottle was thinking nonsense, Tang Mei suddenly sarcastic.

Su Bottle smiled.

Although this conversation discussed the matter of the maid, it gave Su Bottle a new view of Tang Mei.

Just based on her sentence "I can even let her go without money", I feel that Tang Mei is quite human.

Not all masters can say this. Especially like Yang Liuer's good sample, the market price is not low.

Seeing that Su Bei went to meet the county lord, Yang Liu'er couldn't sleep, put on her clothes, and waited at the moon gate. Seeing Su Bottle coming back, he asked eagerly, Su Bottle told her what he had heard, and asked her if she wanted to give up this imperial grain?

As soon as she heard this, Yang Liu'er was also in trouble, and suddenly wiped her tears again. Su Bottle said, you don't have to worry, when you think about it, just tell me.

Yang Liu'er said: "Some words are held in my heart, and I am tormented. It's a pity that my uncle is a man, otherwise I can say something from my heart. ”

With that, the handsome little maid went back into the house. What she wanted to say, Su Bottle didn't know. Su Bottle shrugged his shoulders and went back to sleep.

In his sleep, he dreamed that Yang Liu'er was carrying a mountain of gold on his back to find Su Bottle. Su Bottle was shocked and asked how she could carry a mountain of gold?

She said that she was a fairy in the sky, and when she spoke, she turned the gold mountain into the size of a soybean grain, and only said that her uncle was a good person, so she gave it away. When you are short of money, you knock on this mountain of gold, and there will be endless money to fall.

After giving a gift, the little fairy looked at Su Bottle with a smile. Su Bottle also looked at her with a smile. But she suddenly lowered her face and said that except for Xingjun Niangniang, she was only allowed to like her, and she was not allowed to like other fairy daughters. Su Bottle wondered and asked who else was the fairy daughter? But she didn't answer, shook her fairy robe, turned into a cloud, and flew away.

I also dreamed that Chen Qianyi, who had a black hairband, and Long Tiangang, who had a golden helmet and golden armor, fought on the dome.

The two of them fought in a stormy manner, flying sand and stones, the sky was dark, the clouds and thunder rolled, and it seemed that swords, guns, swords, and halberds flew out of the clouds and thunder. Long Tiangang suddenly disappeared in the dark clouds, leaving only a huge head, chasing Chen Qianyi, the size of a mosquito and fly, to fly in the sky.

Su Bottle burst into a shout, turned into a towering giant, and wanted to fight against Long Tiangang, at this time, he heard the mosquito villain Chen Qianyi shouting loudly, and only said that if Su Bottle did not interfere, he could defeat the giant alone.

It may be because of the failure of the impact vein, which caused Su Bottle to be tired and dreamy. The battle here was not over yet, and I saw two embarrassed figures running over in the wind and rain.

If you look closely, it is friends Sima Jing and Xu Changqing. Sima Jing said, no, no, my eldest daughter died for your martyrdom. Xu Changqing said, not dead, not dead, the one flying in the sky is. Su Bottle raised his head and looked, and the lonely Hong screamed sadly, flying into the sky.

In the early morning of the next day, when Su Bottle was woken up by the naughty maid Wu Xiaoxiao, he only felt dizzy, as if he had not slept all night.

The little girl was naughty and woke up Su Bottle, and she was still lying by the door, smiling evilly, as if she was waiting for Su Bottle to attack. Su Bottle glared at her, and she ran away with a laugh.

……

"What are you doing with Qiao Dongcheng?"

Su Bottle came to the Criminal Department and met Xue Pang. Xue Shilang stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and asked in a low voice.

Su Bottle said: "I suspect that he is related to the Qi Yu case." ”

Xue Pang had a calm face, turned around and stared at Su Bottle: "That teahouse, was it really bought by you?" ”

Su Bottle said: "Yes." ”

Xue Pang sighed, sat down and said, "If you buy it, you can buy it, but I want to remind you not to get too close to King Qi's people in the future." Did you hear me clearly? ”

Although the tone was not good, Xue Pang's words were good, and Su Bei smiled.

Later, Su Bottle told Xue Pang about the idea of casting a wide net, and mentioned the cost of hiring the Red Flower Society. Xue Pang said: Now that the state treasury is tight, it is also difficult for the criminal department to disburse funds. Let the criminal department take the money, and you will think about it. However, you can go to the corrupt official's house to get money, and when the time comes, I will issue a search warrant for you, which will be regarded as a public investigation and transfer to hired manpower.

With money, there is a rush to work. Today, Su Bottle is rarely in a hurry, and even Mei Ran feels strange, and asks Su Bottle, but drink chicken blood? Su Bottle said that he had a good dream last night, so he is full of energy today. Mei Ran asked, what did you dream about? Su Bottle said, I dreamed that a fairy came to me and gave me a mountain of gold. Mei Ran hugged the white of his eyes.

As long as the direction is right, efforts will generally be rewarding.

Su Bottle cast a wide net, and finally achieved results.

But it wasn't the people who the Red Flower Society was staring at that had a problem, but that under the personal beating of Su Bottle, some people couldn't hold on. And this person is already the eighteenth former official of Su Bottle's beating, and his name is Tian Qun.

Not all officials are as well hidden as Zhang Guan, especially this Tian Qun is the least good at camouflage. He was originally a subordinate of the Ministry of Industry. His family lives in Lushunfang, which is the place where the three major chaebols of Fan, Qian, and Han gather. The people who live there are either rich or noble.

Coincidentally, Tian Qun is still Qiao Dongcheng's son and daughter.
