Chapter 407: Laughing at the Dead? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
In history, there were indeed two eunuchs who went out of the palace to flirt with the people's daughters, Lin Tailai was a little impressed, but how to forget it, after all, it was not a big deal.
Lin Tailai asked the slaves of the Li family who came to deliver the message: "Are they sure they will retaliate?" ”
The house slave said with certainty: "Before my family supervised the release of people, he deliberately put a few words.
When they were beaten by the store, they definitely couldn't help but be angry, and they probably borrowed someone directly from the Zheng family to retaliate. ”
So what are you waiting for? Without further ado, Lin Tailai immediately gathered his family and set off, and asked the right protector Zhang Wu to ride a horse to fight the front station.
The two eunuchs were from the imperial city of Xi'an, so the place where the incident happened was also in Xicheng, and it was not too far from the Lin Mansion, almost between the Lin Mansion and the Xiyuan Hutong of the Jiaofang Division.
Lin Tailai walked a little northwest and saw a dim sum shop located at the corner of the street.
Probably because the Chinese New Year is approaching, so in order to attract business, the door of the shop room is open, and there is not even a curtain, so you can see the situation inside from the outside.
So Lin Tailai saw outside that this shop not only sells pastries and pastries, but also preserved fruits, melon seeds and the like.
With the productivity of this era, the price of these foods will not be too cheap, and ordinary people can be regarded as having face when they buy gifts.
It shouldn't have been too late, so Lin Tailai asked the family members to scatter around, and only he walked in by himself.
A middle-aged man greeted him and said, "This guest officer."
Lin Tailai asked directly: "Before noon, there were two people who were teasing the folk girls here?" ”
The middle-aged guy was stunned, but still replied: "The matter has passed." ”
Lin Tailai went in directly and looked left and right, and asked, "What about the people's daughter?" I heard it was someone from your shop. ”
The middle-aged guy's face turned dark, is this person here to make trouble?
After speaking, Lin Tailai saw clearly that there was a young woman standing in front of the shelf, fiddling with the weighing pan.
Look at this woman carefully, she is not very old, wearing a cotton jacket, wearing ear protection, and her appearance can be called white and beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, very watery and cute.
Could it be that the concept of this store is so advanced that it already understands the beauty economy?
Suddenly, Lin Tailai felt that he might lack a warm bed in the capital.
The main reason is that Lin Tailai couldn't bear to see such a good little lady, and in the end he was ruined by eunuchs or powerful people.
Is the heart of the people in this store too big? The little lady who has just been molested, and she is still released to continue to work?
The middle-aged man who had greeted Lin Tailai stood in front of Lin Tailai and replied, "If this strong man wants to see the excitement, it will be too late." ”
Lin Tailai didn't mind and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late!" Maybe there's still a lot of fun. ”
"What do you mean by this?" The middle-aged guy was a little nervous in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Tailai didn't speak, just stood at the door and looked outside, as if expecting something.
Originally, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the shop's business was not bad, but Lin Tailai, who was very large, blocked the door, which directly blocked the shop's financial road.
The middle-aged guy was so angry that he really thought Lin Tailai was making trouble, and he beckoned two guys out of the backyard, wanting to drive people out directly.
At this moment, Lin Tailai suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Come on!" Come on, too! ”
The middle-aged man looked out, and sure enough, he saw a bunch of people turning out of the corner of the street, and the two people who took the lead were the two who were making trouble in the shop before noon, and they came in the direction of the shop with great momentum.
The middle-aged guy's heart moved, and he was about to ask Lin Tailai, who seemed to understand the inside story.
But Lin Tailai quickly rushed into the shop from the door and hid.
The middle-aged guy's eyes were a little contemptuous, what kind of excitement did he look at when he was so timid.
Lin Tailai explained: "Don't get me wrong, I can't let them see me, otherwise they may not be able to fight." ”
The little lady cried out in panic: "Daddy! The other party refuses to give up, let's escape through the back door! ”
Seeing that several people were about to go to the backyard, Lin Tailai immediately shouted: "You can't escape!" ”
The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
Lin Tailai said with great certainty: "Because the back door has been blocked by someone I sent in advance." ”
Middle-aged guy: "."
What the hell are you here for, this strong man?
Lin Tailai hid behind the shelves and encouraged: "Don't run away, fight the evil forces to the end, I support you." ”
Middle-aged guy wants to cry without tears, what type of psychosis is this?
At this moment, he suddenly heard a shouting sound from outside the house, and the middle-aged man looked out again.
I saw that outside the store, there was a sudden brawl of dozens of people. If you look closely, it looks like dozens of them are besieging a dozen.
In the afternoon, the two troublemakers in the shop were tightly surrounded in the middle, their faces pale.
may not understand, why is such an ordinary dim sum shop so crouching tiger, hidden dragon?
There is a noon mobilization of the strength of dozens of strong men, what kind of dim sum shop do you open?
Lin Tailai walked out from behind the shelves, pointed to the two people in the middle, and said to the middle-aged guy:
"Do you know, these two people are eunuchs who came out of the palace, probably using fake beards and dressed as inconspicuous civilians."
The middle-aged guy was stunned again, "Eunuch? ”
Then Lin Tailai introduced: "Were they beaten by you?" The dozen or so people they invited to help should all be from Zheng Guozhang's mansion.
Zheng Guifei's name, you should have heard of it, right? Don't you people in the capital like to spread this kind of news? ”
The middle-aged man asked numbly, "Then who are the people besieging them?" ”
Lin Tailai replied truthfully: "That's my family." ”
After Lin Tailai finished his introduction, the brawl outside also ended, and the result was self-evident, more than a dozen servants of the Zheng family were beaten so much that they didn't want to get up.
And the two eunuchs were not beaten again, but were tightly surrounded, this is the damn sense of proportion.
At this time, a thug walked outside the door, looked into the house, and reported to Lin Tailai: "There is no mistake, it is from the Zheng family." ”
When Lin Tailai heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was a little worried just now, for fear that it would be more embarrassing to hit the wrong person.
The middle-aged man finally came back to his senses and said to Lin Tailai sadly:
"I know that it is a eunuch in the palace and a relative of the emperor, why don't you let us escape! And to beat them, so what do we do now? ”
Lin Tai looked at the young woman who had been molested earlier, and said with a smile: "You have already caused trouble, where can you escape?" Can you still throw down the shop?
I'm here for your own good, to help you solve the problem once and for all, and you should be grateful to me. ”
The middle-aged guy has a light of hope in his heart again, and the people of the Zheng family still dare to talk and laugh here after beating him, is he also a confident person?
Hurriedly asked, "You said it can solve the problem?" What's next? ”
Lin Tailai said very righteously: "If such a big thing happens, I must report it to the official!" ”
If it doesn't get into trouble, how can things be expanded? How can the news spread faster?
"Don't!" The middle-aged man shouted.
Is this kind of thing a fart for the officer? It can even be said that the more you report to the official, the more unlucky you are!
The strong man in front of him wouldn't be sent by a competitor to pit himself, right? But what kind of competitor can please this kind of lineup?
Lin Tailai comforted: "Don't worry, when the fight just started, my people went to the Xicheng Procuratorate to report to the official!"
There was a brawl of dozens of people, and Xicheng Yushi will definitely arrive as soon as possible! ”
Unlike other places, the two county governments are not very concerned with ground security and judicial issues, but are in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Imperial History of the Patrol City.
In charge of this place is the Xicheng Terracotta Division and the Xicheng Imperial History, Wang Xiangmeng also served as the Xicheng Imperial History, and he had a year of qualifications.
It's just that when I heard that someone had already reported to the official, the middle-aged guy was stupid.
Lin Tailai desperately hinted again: "Also, for your sake, I will come forward to harden the eunuchs and the thieves of the Zheng family, there must be a reasonable reason, right?"
Otherwise, others will question my motives, and things will seem less plausible. ”
The middle-aged guy's brain is confused, and he has no ability to think at all.
Lin Tailai had to hint further: "I have heard that those officials who have lived in the capital for a long time, if their families are not around, tend to take a small amount of money locally.
And many poor families in the capital are also willing to have their daughters taken over by officials, so that the whole family can rely on profits. ”
These words are not made up by Lin Tailai, and this habit does exist today. As the saying goes, Zhongjinshi is "to change your name and marry a small".
And when those officials leave Beijing, those local concubines are often reluctant to follow, and often the whole family goes into battle to make trouble, and there are many bloody stories.
The middle-aged guy dares to be angry and dare not speak, others are just molesting the people's girls so far, you strong man actually want to rob openly, and then say that others are thieves?
After Lin Tailai hinted, he sighed that this middle-aged guy was not sensible, and reality would teach him to be a man, and walked out of the store.
Originally, the servants of the Zheng family who were lying on the ground were still screaming and scolding, but after seeing Lin Tailai's tall and majestic figure, Qi Qi choked his voice, and the scene instantly quieted down.
This is called aura, and this is called deterrence.
After waiting for a while, I saw dozens of errand officers rushing over in a crowded official sedan chair.
Then an imperial history official jumped out of the sedan chair, probably Pan Yushi, the city patrol of Xicheng.
"What's going on here?" Pan Yushi glanced around the scene majestically.
Lin Tailai grabbed the middle-aged guy, slipped in front of Yu Shi, and shouted: "There is Master Yu Shi to call the shots for you, you don't want to make a quick statement!" ”
All the guys in the shop, including the little lady who was molested, were driven to the front of Yushi.
But the middle-aged guy was shaking like chaff, stumbling in front of Pan Yushi, and couldn't even say a word.
"Little Jia Fugui works as a seller in the store, and he also has to manage the accounts"
Lin Tailai understood the mentality of a middle-aged guy who was afraid of things and officials, but he was too lazy to continue to grind, so he took the initiative to say to Pan Yushi:
"It's better for me, the person who knows the cause and effect, to come forward and explain it on my behalf!"
After Pan Yushi looked at it a few times, he said to the calligrapher next to him: "Write down this person, it is Lin Tailai, the son of Suzhou!" ”
Since Lin Tailai dared to come forward, he didn't care about being recorded, so he said:
"Pan Shiyu, you see, such a beautiful little lady, because of her difficult livelihood, she had to show up to sell goods, and she was teased by two beasts.
What's even more hateful is that after these two beasts were stopped by the patrol officers, they refused to give up, and shouted more than a dozen thugs from Zheng Guozhang's mansion and ran over again.
I really don't know what they want to do, if a beautiful little lady falls into the hands of such wicked people, the consequences will be unimaginable!
When something like this happened, I had to come to the rescue to prevent the tragedy from happening.
At the same time, he sent someone to the Xicheng Procuratorate to report to the official, and all the dispositions were reasonable. ”
Lin Tai was very affectionate and deeply involved in the play.
He really felt that he was doing a great deed, and if he hadn't come forward by himself, this little lady who had suffered a flying disaster would definitely not end well.
"Nonsense!" The eldest of the two eunuchs suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
Lin Tailai was not in a hurry, and asked calmly: "Then why were you beaten before?" Why did you bring a dozen people back? ”
He has seen this kind of hard-mouthed villain with a strong and inward-looking mouth, and it is useless to shout no matter how loud he is.
It is estimated that the next step is to officially reveal the identity of the eunuch, and then make a lot of quibbles.
Pan Yushi also did not have the right to directly punish the eunuchs, probably while playing the Son of Heaven, he notified the celebrant or Dongchang to receive people.
But it doesn't matter to Lin Tailai, anyway, his main purpose is the Zheng family, just drag the Zheng family to make things bigger.
The elder eunuch directly tore off his fake beard and said to Pan Yushi: "We are Hou Jinzhong, come out of the palace!" ”
Pan Yushi scolded unceremoniously: "Even if you are a close attendant in the palace, you should abide by the law!" ”
Hou Jinzhong said with an angry face: "You know a fart! Do you only listen to one side of the story? ”
Then Eunuch Hou pointed to the little lady who was being molested and said, "We passed by this shop, thinking about buying a few snacks and preserved fruits, but we didn't want to meet profiteers!"
They treat our family as a flat-headed common man, and the goods are short of two catties, and we want to reason with them, but we are slandered as molesting women, which is too deceitful! ”
Lin Tailai: "??? ”
What kind of painting style is this? How is it different from the stereotypical eunuch?
Pan Yushi frowned and asked Eunuch Hou, "Do you have any evidence?" ”
Eunuch Hou replied: "The scales in the store are still there, you go and check them, won't you understand?" ”
So Pan Yushi instructed the messenger to take the scales and make a simple comparison with several nearby shops.
It turned out that what Eunuch Hou said was actually true, and there was indeed something wrong with the scales of this dim sum shop!
Pan Yushi looked at the middle-aged guy Jia Fugui and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Jia Fugui was already kneeling unsteadily, and his whole body collapsed directly to the ground.
Although he didn't say a word, looking at his appearance that he didn't dare to argue, he could also know that what Eunuch Hou said might be true.
Pan Yushi saw that Jia Fugui was like a mess of mud, turned to Lin Tailai again, and shouted:
"What else do you have to say? What is the collusion between you and Jia Fugui? ”
Lin Tailai: "."
Nima! Why is the plot different from what I imagined! The simple little trader turned out to be Diao Min?
It seems that it is not the eunuchs who oppress the civilians and molest women, but the eunuchs who hide their identities are being cheated by the people?
No wonder this Jia Fugui's various behaviors are not normal, why did he fall into his inherent thinking so he didn't notice it?
The dignified Lin officials colluded with the hawkers who sold dim sum to make a profit, and they wanted to laugh to death when they spread it!
