178: Need to be beaten to stay awake

Shen Yunbai came in Zhen Xin's carriage, he refused the other party's request to hire a car for him, discerned the direction on the spot, and went to the vicinity of the mansion with his legs.

He did not go directly to the yamen, but found a teahouse nearby, sat down in a private room by the window, and waited for people while drinking tea.

After about half an hour, the errand man he met in the gambling house finally appearedβ€”he had changed the clothes of the servant, and the beard on his face was gone, and he staggered past the teahouse.

Everyone who knew him greeted him with a smile, and he seemed to be very popular.

Shen Yunbai poked his head out and threw a black plum down from upstairs.

The man looked up and saw Shen Dashao's face, paused, and turned his head into the teahouse.

Shen Yunbai let the person into the private room and asked courteously, "Brother, what is your surname?" ”

"The surname is Dong, Dong Ping." Dong Ping sat down and asked, "You actually remember me?" ”

"When I was in the gambling house, I didn't recognize it at first, but the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, and then I remembered it." Shen Yunbai poured tea with his own hands, "I think when I served, my brother also supervised the work." ”

Dong Ping snorted coldly, "I was on duty for a few days, and you spent money to hire someone else to carry the bag." ”

"Don't mention the embarrassing things," Shen Yunbai said with a smile, "At that time, I only remember that my brother didn't smile, and he was transferred to another place before he got to know him, and he never saw him again." ”

Dong Ping glanced in the direction of the yamen and said in a low voice: "I was transferred to the arrest squad to investigate cases, hunt down thieves, and sometimes patrol the night with the fast class." ”

Shen Yunbai empathized at the right time, "It sounds very hard, my brother is tired for the sake of the people." ”

Dong Ping was said to be very happy, "I thought you were a seedling, you couldn't bear the conscription, and in the end you still had to pay the money, but I didn't expect to survive to the end." ”

Shen Yunbai nodded, "Zuo Fu Yin is very tired of me. ”

Dong Ping laughed, "No, I earned four hundred taels less!" But it's always good for you to be out of business, and then you delivered food to the construction site, and I passed by when I was on an errand, and I had a meal with Cui Bantou. By the way, your sour plum soup is good. ”

"I have won awards," Shen Yunbai was a little modest, and asked in a low voice: "My brother went to the gambling house today, but he has a business trip?" ”

"What do you say?" Dong Ping's voice was lowered, "A few days ago, the government took over a case and is investigating, I can't tell you in detail." You didn't reveal my identity today, and you're still smart, if you meet you there in the future, you still pretend not to know, you know? ”

Shen Yunbai nodded, and Dong Ping sighed: "That's it, don't meet it, it's not a good place, don't go." ”

Shen Yunbai's tone was very sincere, "Actually, brother, I was dragged away, I was happy to gamble on the surface, but in fact, I was ashamed in my heart." ”

Dong Ping snorted coldly, "I see that you are not ashamed at all when you win money, and you are about to laugh like a peony flower." ”

"Brother, I'm not as good-looking as a peony flower, and besides, aren't you quite bold when you bet with me?"

Dong Ping touched his chin embarrassedly, and then remembered that the beard was removed, so he laughed dryly, "Joy and joy." ”

Shen Yunbai said twice, "The Zhen family's wool, that must be done hard." ”

Dong Ping smiled and dried the tea and asked, "Zhen Xin took you there to pull you into the water?" ”

"Well, the lure, you have to put some bait first, and now our brothers will win the bait."

Shen Yunbai leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Brother Dong, I have been thinking about it just now, my mother's business is big, but she has never made a living in a gambling house. The Zhen family is very different from my family, meat and vegetables are not taboo, and I always feel that the back of his house is not clean. ”

Dong Ping lowered his voice, "Think about it, the gambling houses are all open, if there is a violation of the law, isn't it unusual?" ”

Shen Yunbai's voice was so low that he began to use his breath, "If my brother can use me, just command." ”

"Come on, your mother has finally made a comeback, don't mess up. In the last free clinic, Mrs. Pei didn't even dislike the little fool in our alley, and she was a living bodhisattva respected by everyone. Investigating a case is a matter of quick arrest, and it is also very dangerous, so don't get involved. All you need to do is live in peace and honor your mother. ”

Dong Ping refused to let Shen Yunbai help, Shen Yunbai is not ignorant, the righteous people will not let ordinary people get into danger, Shen Dashao appreciates.

Dong Ping drank tea and went back to the mansion. Shen Yunbai thought about it and decided to go back to Baoren Hall first.

It just so happened that Pang Zhan and a few of them came back from the Tai Hospital, and Shen Yunbai asked, "Have you sent anything to the camp these days?" ”

"Yes," Pang Zhan said, "I have a batch of gloves and chilblain cream to send, and I was trying to inform the master." However, this batch of goods was rushed out in advance, and I was not in a hurry, and I took it when I led the team to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing in a few days. ”

Shen Yunbai looked disapproving, "How can this be delayed?" If I send it one day late, my soldiers will have to freeze for another day. ”

Pang Zhan spread his hands, "Isn't this a shortage of manpower, no one has to be empty." ”

Shen Yunbai said: "You order the quantity, and I will personally drive it there early tomorrow morning." ”

Pang Zhan was anxious, "You go?" Don't look at the Wanghu Tower? ”

"There are Fu Bo and Ah Jue, it's not in the way, one back and forth, half a day is enough."

Shen Yunbai finalized the matter, went back to the mansion to see Shen Qi and Kong Qing, and then returned to Wanghu Tower.

He first went to the back kitchen to find a burning stick, and then carried the stick to Pei Jin.

"Mother, you beat me up first."

Pei Jinqi said: "There are still people who make such a request? Shen Yunbai, did you make a big accident? ”

"The disaster didn't break through, it was Zhen Xin who pulled him to gamble, you have to beat it hard, and your son can feel at ease."

Pei Jin instantly understood, "He wants you to get addicted to gambling!" If you don't have the self-control to indulge in this, sooner or later you will incur a huge debt, and if you don't dare to refuse to steal prescriptions and formulas, you will become their puppet. ”

Shen Yunbai took out all the silver tickets and said, "Mother, these are all empty gloves today, fifty taels is the capital sent by Zhen Xin, and the rest are bets on the size to win." The Zhen family was quite willing to let me fall into the trap. ”

He told the story of the gambling house, and Pei Jin said with a smile: "You have a clear heart, and my mother doesn't need to beat you." ”

"No, my mother has to cut me a few times, so that I remember the pain."

Pei Jin smiled: "Are you afraid of indulging in gambling?" ”

Shen Yunbai nodded, "My son needs to be beaten to stay awake." ”

Since he sincerely invited, Pei Jin was not polite, she took the burning stick and hit Shen Yunbai on the back a few times, and the eldest son grinned in pain.

"Mother, you have a lot of hands."

"It's to keep you awake."

While the mother and son were talking, Pei Bujue knocked on the door and came in, holding a rolling pin in his hand.

"Auntie, you'll have to beat your nephew a few times."

What's wrong with this?

Pei Jin asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Pei Bujue said: "Although my nephew and Na Liniang are false and wronged, my nephew often walks outside, and everyone knows that I am Pei Ji's person." If this matter is spread, it may be unrecognizable. ”
