Chapter 111: Hongmen Banquet II
Su Xiaolou has been silently observing the every move of the three of them in the dark, and saw the two of them snorting and laughing, not to mention how happy he was, he specially ordered the kitchen of the Salt Transportation Division today, and the men of the Salt Transportation Division were too hard for the past two days, and decided to add a few more meat dishes today, and now the courtyard is full of the smell of meat, just to slander these three people, since they are hungry, let's drink something!
Su Xiaolou brought three teas in, and the three of them looked left and right, and made sure that there was only one person, and there was no food behind, so they were disappointed, and those who didn't eat could only drink some tea to satisfy their hunger.
Liu Changchun really couldn't wait any longer, so he stopped the visitor and asked, "When will Lord Qincha come to see us?" ”
The person who came said impatiently: "Lord Qincha is on a lunch break, so I don't have time to come to see you!" Wait! After the man finished speaking, he took care of himself and left.
"Poof......
There seemed to be a small artificial fountain on the opposite side, Liu Changchun was sprayed with tea, and he exploded in an instant, wiped his face with his sleeve casually, glared angrily, Shen Wanpeng bent down and straightened his tongue and rubbed it vigorously: "Water...... Water...... Salty ......"
"Salty?" What does it mean? Liu Changchun took a sip of the tea, and spit it out with a mouthful, is this a dead salt seller? It's like buying salt myself.
This mouthful happened to spit on Shen Wanpeng's head, Shen Wanpeng is now vomiting up and down, the whole person is not good, his eyes are red with anger, and he scolds when he copies the eighteenth generation of the Dari family tree: "My day...... Your uncle's ......, I'll step on the horse...... You've got a kind of ......."
Liu Changchun is not easy to mess with: "I will grass you to step on the horse...... Father...... Kill your ......, you little red guy ......"
“……”
“……”
"Fight! Fight! ”
"Goose goose goose ......" Su Xiaolou hid in the west wall and covered his mouth and smiled, leaning back and forth, out of breath, they were almost over, these two people are really a pair of living treasures, if it weren't for the salt transportation division, it is estimated that they would have dried up, Zhou Million glanced at the loss of the two of them, and he was no longer surprised, and he didn't bother to care about them, so he let them go.
Noon has passed, this pair of hungry people have no strength to scold, they can't move, they can't sit still, they don't dare to sleep, today's time is passing very slowly, Lord Qincha still has no intention of showing up, they can only stare dryly.
The two people who couldn't hold it back, went out to inquire, and learned that Lord Qincha was checking the accounts, checking the accounts? Whose accounts are checked? Wouldn't it be checking their accounts, as soon as they heard the news, a few people couldn't sit still, is this going to put them under house arrest? What to do? Even Zhou Million has already reached the seriousness of the matter, Lord Qincha is afraid that he will not let them go so easily this time, and today the whole show really caught him off guard, Zhou Million is pacing back and forth in the small council hall, and the iron butt can't stand sitting for a day!
A whole afternoon passed, and several people lived like a year, the sun was setting in the west, the light was slowly fading, and the house was getting darker and darker, and the day was soon coming to an end.
Money is so vulnerable in the face of power, they have the richest place in the Ming Dynasty in their hands, ninety percent of the wealth of the entire Jiangnan, but they dare not step out of this dark and dilapidated cabin, Zhou Million, Shen Wanpeng, Liu Changchun The three of them from the initial indifference to anxiety, and then to the later anxiety and madness, and finally became despair, the pain of psychological torture is no less than the pain of the body, it will destroy people's spiritual world little by little, until it collapses and collapses, they are all waiting for punishment with dull faces!
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the three of them saw a brocade-clothed guard with a long knife at his waist and hips, standing with his back light, and vaguely saw a blade-like handsome face and a tall posture, as if he had come to judge them for the last time.
"Lord Qincha said, you can go, today's meeting is over!"
"It's over? We haven't seen Chincha-sama yet, why is it like this? ”
"That's right! What's going on? The three of them were completely confused, could it be that Lord Qincha asked them to come to the council hall to sit and hatch eggs for a day?
The cunning Zhou Million didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Lord Qincha, but he felt that the matter would not end like this.
Su Xiaolou gave up half of his body and made a gesture of please: "Everyone has a big box at the door, and you can go, please!" ”
Big boxes? They came empty-handed, and they were embarrassed to bring something back before leaving, Lord Qincha was really polite, the three of them rubbed their sore waists, and came out to see, there was a row of three big wooden boxes at the door, the boxes were quite large, and they could be loaded into a person, and when they opened it, it was empty, and there was nothing, and they were slightly disappointed.
Su Xiaolou smiled contemptuously, and dared to return the gift, but he was really more tiger than the Siberian tiger.
Zhou Million looked at the big wooden box and pondered, and then walked to Su Xiaolou's side with a smiling face: "I'm stupid, I don't understand what Lord Qincha's wooden box means, and I hope that Lord Zongqi will guide me." Zhou Million handed over a warm and lustrous mutton fat jade wrench under the cover of his cuffs, it was a good thing at first glance, Su Xiaolou's eyes lit up, coughed lightly, and pretended to look around inadvertently, no one noticed this, the environment was safe, and he took the wrench quietly.
"This box is naturally used for things, but for what? How much does it hold? It depends on how many taxes you have stolen over the years, Lord Qincha said that you should make up for it within half a month, and he will not pursue it, if you can't make up for it, then you will be in prison for the rest of your life! ”
"This ...... This ......" The three of them all reacted, they have stolen so many taxes over the years that they don't know how much they don't know, although they can find out the audits, but the taxes leaked by those powerful gentry are all big heads, will they be forcibly calculated on their heads, how much money is appropriate!
There is also a possibility that the money handed over must satisfy Lord Qincha, and it can only be more than less, and if it is less, it will be imprisoned, which is obviously to blackmail them a large amount of money, and not tell you how much money I want to blackmail, which is the most torturous place.
"Lord Qincha said, the money you hand over will be recorded and charged into the treasury, and you will not send it if you go slowly, everyone!"
Liu Changchun arched his hand and begged: "Lord Zongqi, we want to meet Lord Qincha!" It won't delay much of the time of Lord Chincha, just a cup of tea, please help us plead for mercy, and let Lord Chincha see us. ”
"Lord Qincha has been managing all day long, and there are many things, so how can I see you! Let's go! Su Xiaolou glanced at the little yellow croaker in Liu Changchun's hand, it seemed that there were still several, Su Xiaolou turned around and left in pain, whining and wailing: My little yellow croaker!
