Chapter Seventy-Seven: King Yu Arrives
Xue Shilang asked Su to go to his house in the morning to order a meal, and to go to him to make a report before getting off work.
As Xue Shilang's subordinate general, he is a small superintendent of eight grades, and he is quite popular in the yamen of the Criminal Department, and he greets each other with a smile when he meets him, singing greetings to each other.
Of course, this popularity is all false, if Su Bottle retreats from this skin, or Xue Shilang falls, those people will immediately become indifferent passers-by, or commanding bureaucrats.
Su Bian didn't do anything today, except for seeing Qiao Dongcheng in the Chengfeng Teahouse, he took Mei Ran to Beishi to ask for a bounty, and then Mei Ran knocked down the performer in the ring and got five taels of silver.
Mei Ran was still complacent, but Su Bottle advised her to do less of this kind of thing in the future. People know that the Red Flower Society will not care about you for the face of the Red Flower Society. If you come here again and again to smash the field, people will not care so much.
“…… No abnormalities have been found yet, but Xia Guan thinks that sooner or later they will show their feet. ”
Listening to Su Bei's words, Xue Pang frowned and nodded: "As long as you think this is feasible, you will stick to it." I don't rush you. ”
The seventeen people who were followed by the Red Flower Society continued to pretend to be honest, especially Zhang Guan, who insisted on going to other people's homes to be a teacher, and had coarse tea and light meals every day. The lady of the family, ugly and shabby. A pair of children in the family are no different from children on the street. When his son was nine years old, he followed his father to a private school. The five-year-old daughter sits at the door all day long, shouting for rock sugar gourds, but her mother has no money to buy it for her.
“…… Baoyu, let me tell you the truth, I am under a lot of pressure in the face of this case. As for me, sometimes I can't bear it, and I will inevitably push you to the front. I said to those people, you are the one who gnaws at the fields. I guess that's going to cause you some trouble too. Maybe someone is forcing you, maybe someone is tempting you. Xue Pang said with a sad face.
Su Bei had no expression on his face: "If you want to do big things, you must be under pressure, and the lower officials are willing to follow Lord Xue in the same boat." ”
"Good, good." Xue Pang said solemnly: "Although this case has encountered a slight setback, you should not back down because of pressure. Don't be afraid of who's behind what. If you fight the backstage, I can tell you the bottom. My backstage, harder than anyone else. It's impossible for my backstage to fall. If he doesn't fall, I won't fall. And if I don't fall, you won't fall. See what I mean? ”
Su Beixin said: Your backstage is so hard, and you still want to use me as a shield? is an uncle again, and pretends to be a grandson.
Of course, this could not be said, Su Bottle just smiled.
Xue Pang is very busy, Su Bottle is off work, and he has to continue to work. He is not the only group of case-handling personnel under him. And what other people are busy with, Su Bottle never asks.
Before he walked out of the hall of the Criminal Department, he saw Mei Ran leading a person in, and he knew that he was the young master of a big family by looking at his clothes. Su Bottle didn't know this person, Mei Ran introduced that this person belonged to the Han family of Lushunfang, and I heard that Su Bottle found the corpse, so he came to thank him and sent ten taels of silver.
"It's only ten taels, it's not a tribute, and I hope Lord Su won't dislike it."
Su Bottle smiled and said, "Where is this?" As a commissioner of the Criminal Department, I found an unknown corpse and reported it to the Department of Justice. Don't go out of your way to thank me. ”
Su Bottle didn't accept it, but the person couldn't be sincere, and pushed it three times, but the money still fell into Su Bottle's hands.
The person who came to send the money was named Han Dafu, and it was said that his second brother Han Dachang and Tang Kuan were very good. Moreover, Han Dachang is also engaged to Ximen Gui, the lord of Chengfeng County of Lide Fang, and the wedding will be held in three days. The county lord of the Ximen family is not married, and Han Dachang is considered to have entered the county lord's mansion. But the Han family is rich, even if they are rich, they will not be looked down upon.
Hearing that Su Bottle was the son-in-law of the sixth lady of the Tang family, Han Dafu smiled and said, the aunt of the Tang family should be the county horse now. But Su Bei said that this son-in-law had been abolished by Emperor Chrysostom, but the Tang family had not yet written a letter of resignation.
Han Dafu said that he could tell fortunes, criticize eight characters, touch bones, and look at faces, so he had to calculate Su Bottle. If you want to come to Su Bottle's birthday, you will pinch your fingers and deduce.
After deducing for a while, he was shocked, saying that Su Bottle was originally the life of great wealth and nobility, but there was a catastrophe in his life, and he would be displaced, and he would be empty. But after the catastrophe, there will be a turning point, and this opportunity is related to the lord of Loulan. Su Bottle and Lord Loulan were originally a pair of fairy couples in the sky. Because of offending the Jade Emperor, you were relegated to the mortal world, and now that the two of you are together, it is determined by heaven, and you must still be a loving couple.
Su Bottle's heart said, you kid can really pull it.
But after taking the fortune teller's money, people still said auspicious words, and Su Bei never said that he was bad, but only said that Brother Han was a psychic. But Mei Ran stood aside, hugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes.
Han Dafu left, and Su Bottle invited Mei Ran for dinner, but she said that she would go back to the teahouse and eat a big pot of rice with the brothers and sisters of the Red Flower Society.
Su Bottle flipped the money bag in his hand, smiled, and rode home. Passing by the west gate of Qinghuafang, he didn't go home directly, but went to Feng Die's mother's house, found Feng Zhang's family, and gave her two taels of silver. Let her go to the Guogong Mansion for the second time to raise the media.
Feng Zhang smiled and asked: What gift do you prepare this time?
Su Bottle said: I just gave two lying cabinet gifts last time, and this time I don't need to bring heavy gifts, just bring some melon and fruit snacks.
Leaving Feng's house, Su Bottle rode towards the Guogong Mansion, and saw a large group of maids coming together, each holding, hugging, carrying, and carrying something, and there were Feng Die, Wu Xiaoxiao, and Yang Liu'er in the crowd.
It is true that Wu Xiaoxiao and Yang Liuer are handsome, and the emperor likes them when they see them, but Feng Die's little Nier stands with her and is not compared. That Feng Die just lost a little weight, got a little younger, and suddenly the day of the strip was drawn, she was a big beauty.
At this time, she and Wu Xiaoxiao carried a round table, and Yang Liuer carried a food box.
Su asked where they were going?
Feng Die put down the round table and saluted: The birthday of the fourth old man's wife is going to be a big event, and there are not enough people, so Concubine Lin beckoned the maid of the Guogong Mansion to help.
Wu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: I have meat to eat today.
Su Bottle smiled and pointed out: Don't go to other people's houses to steal food, if you are discovered, even if you don't beat you, you will be embarrassed by the master's family. When I go back to my home, I will beat you. If you are hungry for meat, I will buy it for you.
Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly twisted, pinching the orchid fingers in the appearance of the play, as if arranging flowers on the sideburns, shaking her sleeves, and pretending to be weak, holding her hands on her belly, and singing playfully: The little woman is depressed and hungry.
raised his hand, supported his cheek with one hand, looked sideways shyly, and sang: I only hope that the son will send the cage.
turned around on the spot, with a sad face, and sang: If the son is a thin man.
Suddenly stood up straight, with an angry face, pinched his waist with one hand, and shook his finger with one hand: "Tell you to collect the body in the east of the bridge!"
Hearing the last sentence, Su Bottle laughed loudly and waved his hand again and again: "Unlucky, unlucky, stop singing, I'll buy it for you, don't look for death and life." ”
Su Gongzi drove his horse back to the Guogong Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a group of high-crowned men, talking and laughing.
There was Tang Kuan in the middle, full of red light, looking at his happy appearance, I thought he had found the little cherry mother and daughter. Actually, when he saw Su Bottle, he also asked if Su Bottle had been found. Su Bottle only said that he had asked the sisters of the Ye clan of the Red Flower Society to do it.
Tang Kuanyi frowned and said, "Sister Ye? Can there be a person with a bad scar? ”
Su Bottle jumped off the horse and said, "Night Frost." ”
Tang Kuan shook his head and said, "This woman is not good, my sister-in-law should be more careful when interacting with her." As the so-called most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, she once raised her old teacher with a blade. ”
Hearing this, Su Bottle's brows tightened and he stopped talking. Tang Kuan admonished, then continued to talk and laugh with the people around him, and rushed to the fourth old man's mansion together. It seems that today's old lady's birthday is really a big event, and the little guy next to Tang Kuan is still carrying a birthday gift in his hand.
Not long after, Su Bottle returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu, and saw the county lord holding the account book and checking the calculation. Seeing Su Bottle coming back, Tang Mei put down her pen and asked if Su Bottle had eaten it? Su Bottle said he didn't eat it. Tang Mei said that in the evening, the fourth aunt held a banquet on her birthday, and Concubine Lin asked everyone in the family to celebrate. Concubine Kong has prepared a gift for me, you first take the gift to the fourth uncle's mansion and present it for me. When I'm done with the work, I'll go to the feast.
Without further ado, Su Bottle took Wang Jin'er, who had a high ponytail on his head, to the Fourth Master's Mansion, gave a gift box, listened to the shouting of the little girl who sang the salute twice, and then entered the inner house, and looked at it, which was an eye-opener.
Today, I came to congratulate the "Old Lady Xue" who is not very old, and the people who came were not only the old and young of the Tang family, but also the royal family, the Meng family, the Ximen family, and the people in Daoguangfang Meritorious Street. and the second master of the Tang family, Tang Ning, the third master, Tang Ren, the fourth master, Tang Jiong, and the fifth master, Tang Li; Six old man Tang Ding; The seventh old man, Tang Sui, and all his family were present.
Gongzi mostly fought in Longyou, and the son's family came here one after another. Most of them were young, without exception, from aristocratic backgrounds. All of them were the most popular blood smudge makeup in the Liang Dynasty at this time, with willow eyebrows and white faces, red eyebrows, eyes and cheeks, a flower on the forehead, and a dotted face at the corners of the mouth. Looking at them, it is as if they have seen the murals of the Tang Dynasty vividly displayed in front of them.
"Uncle, let's go, we're in the way."
Wang Jin'er pulled Su Bottle's arm and walked to the side, Su Bottle turned his head to look, sure enough, it was a guest, this person was very powerful, and the Tang family masters got up to greet them, and learned that it was Teng King Zhao Gong and Princess Xue who came.
As soon as Zhao Gong was welcomed into the lobby, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and looked up, which was bigger than King Teng's head, a young man, wearing the robe of Prince Xuanhuang and Reckless. From afar, I heard the horseback rider shouting, "King Yu has arrived!" ”
Hearing that King Yu was coming, the Tang family and the old men glanced at each other.
Although they are all princes, King Teng accompanied Princess Xue to see his sister, but why did King Yu come?
