Chapter 148 Tongzhou (Third Update)
Tongzhou City, near Hebei Road, is not very far from Chang'an City, only 300 miles.
After getting the consent of the Empress Dowager Zhang, the imperial court sent someone to send the news to Tongzhou City and ordered the local prefect to prepare in advance to meet him.
Tongzhou Mansion!
The sun is shining, the air is a little hot, and now it has entered July, and the temperature here is even higher than that of Chang'an City, and the whole government is a little boring and depressed.
"The superintendent of the East Investigation Factory is actually from Tongzhou, and he wants to come here to worship his ancestors on July 15?"
In the main hall of the palace, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure looked at the order sent by the imperial court urgently, and his fat face showed a trace of solemnity and nervousness.
The superintendent of the East Detective Factory, Su Shan, Su Gonggong, is now in the Great Wei Dynasty, and he is also a powerful figure, and the outside world is even more rumored, this person is ruthless, scheming, and the prime minister Xu Chaosheng, as well as the military department Shangshu are all playing and applauding, resulting in the two of them one family ruined, the other ruined, committed suicide!
Now that such a character is coming to Tongzhou, the prefect is really a little frightened.
"Where is Lord Su's home?
When the prefect Zhao Youli had a sad face, the man with two mustaches on his face and narrow eyes on the side bowed over and asked in a low voice.
This person is Zhao Youli's master, who has always been by Zhao Youli's side, giving advice to him, and can be regarded as a trusted person by Zhao Youli's side.
"As mentioned above, Lord Su should be the eldest son of the Su family on Jingran Street in the north of the city. ”
Zhao Youli's gaze swept over the file again, he took a deep breath, stood up a little hurriedly, and said in a low voice,
"You go and send someone to inquire about who the Governor of Su is, prepare in advance, invite that family out alone, and then treat them kindly, try not to let them speak ill of us in front of the Governor!"
"Don't worry, Lord Prefect, this matter will be handed over!"
The thin man hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then respectfully withdrew from the hall.
"The Overseer is coming to Tongzhou...... We must pay attention to it, if we can serve the Overseer well, we may be able to rely on the Overseer in the future to leave this Tongzhou and go to Chang'an City to take up a post!"
Seeing the master leave, Zhao Youli's face showed a hint of eagerness, and he said to himself.
He has also been in Tongzhou City for a long time, and at this time, it is the time when the Chaogang is changing, and he also wants to do something, tie up with the Queen Mother, and then go further!
"Be prepared, don't go wrong!"
The voice of self-talk fell, and Zhao Youli also got up busily, left the main hall, and began to arrange to welcome the overseer.
......
Well-run Street!
This street, in Tongzhou City, is not a prosperous street, to put it in detail, it should be regarded as a remote place in Tongzhou City, most of the people living here are ordinary people in the city, and even more are poor people!
At this moment, in the depths of the orderly street, in a dilapidated courtyard surrounded by a simple adobe wall, a young man with bare arms, hunched over, crouched on the ground and scrubbing his clothes.
The scorching sun shone on him, his skin was a little red, and there were a lot of beads of sweat on his face.
"Damn, let Lao Tzu a big man wash clothes here, but that stinky girl went out to be chic...... When Lao Tzu has money, he will definitely clean you up and let you know who is the master of this house!"
Crunch!
As the young man spoke, the closed door was pushed open from the outside, and a graceful young woman entered, her hair was a little messy, but her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were a little coquettish, as if they had just received rain and dew.
"You ......"
The young man looked at his wife's appearance, and the look on his face suddenly turned extremely blue, and he didn't have to guess to know that he must have gone to Butcher Zhang's house and that guy...... He came to the woman with his eyes glared and was about to be angry, but before he could speak, he saw the woman throw the thing she was carrying in her right hand on his face.
"This ...... Meat ......"
When the man saw it, it turned out to be a piece of pork belly the size of a palm, and the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, turning into some flattery, and he hurriedly greeted his wife into the courtyard enthusiastically, and said with a smile,
"Where did Madame buy the meat?" Are you tired, do you want me to rub your body?"
"Get out of the way, don't you know how this meat came from? You pretend not to know? Okay, the old lady will tell you that the old lady went to Zhang Butcher's place and slept with him in exchange!"
The young woman slapped the man's outstretched hand away with disdain, ignoring the man's embarrassed face, and twisted towards the room.
"Hey, what kind of sin did my Su family create, how did this kind of corrupting thing happen...... This vixen has done such a degrading thing, and he is so shameless......"
"The ancestors of my Su family will be angry ......"
In the next room, an old woman with gray hair, a somewhat charred and haggard face, and a wrinkled face, came out, sat in the doorway, stared at the young woman's room, and slapped her knees and shouted.
"Old thing, you talk nonsense, the old lady threw that piece of meat out to feed the dog!"
The young woman kicked the door open, wiped her face with a towel, and shouted angrily,
"The old lady went to Zhang Butcher, can you blame me?"
"But as long as your turtle son Su Cheng can have a little bit of a career, and the old lady uses it to serve other men?"
"It's not your own son, it's useless......"
"You ......"
The old woman couldn't say a word choked by the woman, turned her head to look at her son Su Cheng, but saw the latter come to the side with a sneer, and then pointed to the piece of pork belly.
"Mother, don't say it, forget it!"
"What, there's meat today, hurry, go make me a good meal, I haven't tasted meat for more than a month, go and ......"
"You...... You ......"
The old woman looked at Su Cheng like this, and the look on her face became even more embarrassed, her lips trembled, and she almost didn't know what to say!
This son is really too unsuccessful!
"Old thing, what are you still doing in a daze? If you don't eat, the old lady still wants to eat, the old lady has been tossing at Zhang Butcher's place for a long time, and her waist is tired and broken, you have to make up for it quickly, go quickly!"
The young woman yelled impatiently, then slammed the door shut, and turned back into the house.
"Hey...... Woe to the family!"
The old woman sighed, and at last she had no choice but to get up from the bench with difficulty, hunched over her somewhat hunched body, and carried the piece of pork belly towards the house
"Finally able to eat meat, haha!"
Su Cheng looked at the piece of pork belly with a satisfied face......
