As soon as Zeng Yiduo entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Dad, Brother Du and Brother Yu are here." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the Great Ancestor Hall saw Du Shenfei and Yu Coaxing Immortal, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Du Shenfei hurriedly saluted with the fish coaxing immortal.
Great-Ancestor Hall said politely: "Brother Xiao Du, since we parted at the end of last year, unconsciously, it has been a year. I don't want to step down now the majesty is shaking in the rivers and lakes, the old decay often sees the deeds of the foot in the newspaper, often cut the thoughts of the cloud tree, the sun is coming, God is fortunate to be blown by the wind today, and the thoughts of thirst and admiration are greatly relieved. What a blessing!
Du Shenfei said: "The little nephew is often taken care of outside the staff, and he is deeply virtuous, and he has been respected outside the staff for a long time, so he came to visit today." ”
Zeng Zudian looked at the fish coaxing immortal and asked, "Who is this son?"
Zeng Yiduo preemptively said: "This one is the clever ghost that my sister often mentions, called the fish coaxing fairy." ”
When the great ancestor heard this, he hurriedly shook the hand of the fish coaxing immortal, and said: "The little girl talks a lot about the elegance of her feet, she is clever and smart, and she is humiliated and left to look at it. ”
Yu Coaxing Immortal hurriedly said: "The staff has won the prize." The little nephew has long admired the virtue of the outside, the nine thoughts of the gentleman, the four don'ts of the saint, the goodness of adults, the non-morality of people, and the admiration for a long time.
A few people, you and I said a word of politeness, and the great ancestor invited the two of them and the short and fat middle-aged man to sit at the coffee table, called the tea and fruits, and told Zeng Yiduo to ask someone to bring a brazier, and to prepare lunch.
Du Shenfei mentioned the matter of the Yuanlongshun silk cloth shop and said: "The little nephew happened to pass by Hualongchi Street today, and saw that there were many people around the Yuanlongshun silk cloth shop, and there were many discussions, and there seemed to be an emergency that was not conducive to the business operation of the silk shop. The little nephew heard that this round long silk shop belonged to the staff. Don't dare to ask the clerk, what happened?"
Zengzu sighed and said, "I really don't tell you that I, the Yuanlong Shun silk shop, have recently made a murder. I'm bothered by this and don't know how to do it. He pointed to the short and chubby middle-aged man standing next to him, and said to the two: "This person is the shopkeeper of the Yuanlongshun silk cloth shop on Longchi Street, called Dongguo Brilliant." ”
Dong Guo Huanghuang hurriedly smiled, hugged Du Shenfei and Yu Xian, and said hello.
When Du Shenfei looked at this person, he saw a big round face, ruddy face, and raised fat, which looked like a huge potato, and this potato had an uneven nose on it, a wide and thick mouth under the nose, and a pair of small eyes, when he grinned, this pair of small eyes would disappear without a trace. With a big belly. At first glance, it looks like a very comfortable character. Although his man was fat, his voice was sharp and thin.
As soon as Du Shenfei saw this person, he remembered Grandma Mai. But he felt that if the splendor of Dongguo in front of him was compared with Grandma Mai, Grandma Mai would immediately become a handsome offspring who looked very good.
Great-Ancestor Hall said to Dongguo Huanghuang: "Brilliant, you can replace me and tell Xiao Du and Xiao Yu about what happened in the store!"
This Dongguo Huanghuang nodded and said: "Yes! Yes, our Yuanlongshun silk cloth shop, but the largest silk cloth shop in this thousands of miles of ground city, a total of 29 branches, located in Liangzhejiang Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Kuizhou Road, Guangnan East Road and other places......
Zeng Zudian waved his hand, interrupted Dong Guo Huanghuang's words, and said lightly: "Directly talk about this incident that happened in your store!"
Dong Guo Huanghuang took a sip of tea and said, "Yes! Yes! Regarding this human life, on the morning of the ninth day of the first month of November, a man in his thirties entered the store and said that he wanted to buy two pieces of cloth. We later learned that this man's name was Tan County Official, who sold bamboo utensils in the city for a living. At that time, it was a guy named Wen Changqing in our store who received the Tan County official. But not long after, the Tan county officials and their family carried the cloth back, saying that it was a piece of loose cloth and a rotten cloth that had been soaked in water, and they wanted to be replaced. Wen Changqing said that the cloth he sold was no problem at all. So the two first had a verbal altercation, and then started a fight. Unexpectedly, County Officer Tan died in our store like this. ”
As soon as Dong Guo Huang Huang finished speaking, Yu Coaxing Immortal asked: "Then according to Mr. Dong Guo, is this Tan County official killed by that guy Wen Changqing?"
Dongguo Huanghuang pondered for a long time before he said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Now no matter how this Tan County official died, after all, he died when he was fighting with Wen Changqing. Now outsiders are saying that it was the guy from the Yuanlong Shun silk cloth shop who killed the county official Tan. ”
Yu coaxed the immortal and said, "Where is the guy Wen Changqing now?"
Dongguo Huanghuang sighed lightly and said: "This Wen Changqing saw that the county official Tan was dead, and fled in fear of crime, and he ran away without a trace, and no one knows where this person has gone." ”
There was a moment of silence.
At this time, the Great Ancestor Hall asked very calmly: "Brilliant, the matter has come to this, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Dongguo Huanghuang thought about it for a while, and seemed to have mustered up enough courage before he said: "Outside, in my opinion, this Tan Shikuan seems to have a lot of background in the rivers and lakes, saying that his son was beaten to death, and he wants to invite a famous hero in the rivers and lakes to administer justice and deal with this kind of ...... This ......"
Zeng Zudian's eyes were like torches, staring at Dongguo Huanghuang, and said lightly: "Is it to deal with a profiteer like me who cares about people's lives?"
Dongguo Huanghuang whispered: "They ...... That's what they said. ”
At this time, Du Shenfei asked: "Mr. Dongguo, Tan Shikuan said that he wanted to invite the heroes on the rivers and lakes to administer justice, who are the heroes they are talking about?"
Dongguo Huanghuang said: "This is not clear below. I just listened to them shouting so much. ”
Du Shenfei said: "Oh, then why didn't he report to the official, but he wanted to invite the heroes in the rivers and lakes?"
Dong Guo Huanghuang said: "I haven't asked them about this. It's just that I heard that Yue Shaobao once said that civil officials don't love money, and military attaches are not afraid of death, so the world is peaceful. Presumably it is today's government yamen, civil officials are greedy for money and are not afraid of death, and military attaches are afraid of death and greedy for money. The heroes of the rivers and lakes can be happy with enmity, anxious about the difficulties of others, hoe the strong and help the weak, cut if they are uneven, and give up if they are peaceful. ”
Yu coaxed the fairy and smiled: "Very good! Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles." Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”
The great-ancestor hall is still very calm, and it is indeed calm when there is something to do. He asked, "Oh, what do you think about the fact that you, as the shopkeeper of this Phung Lue Dragon Pond shop, want to settle this matter?"
Dongguo Huanghuang snorted: "Outside, in my opinion, it is better to ...... It's better to spend money to eliminate the disaster, spend more money, and have a private affair with this Tan Shikuan family. Because...... Because once the matter is big, it will not only cost a lot of money and time, but in the end, it will not only destroy the gold-lettered signboard of Yuanlongshun, which has twenty-nine branches, but I am afraid that it will ......"
Great-Ancestor Hall said coldly: "What are you afraid of?"
Dongguo Huanghuang looked at the expressionless face of the Great Ancestor Palace, but he was a little surprised, and said carefully: "I'm afraid that it will affect the other businesses of the subordinates." ”
