Chapter 13 The Palace is Deep 1
The four of them went all the way to the east, and when they entered the capital seven days later, it was nearly dusk. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ouyang Long'er proposed to take Gu Yuecong to see the scenery of the characters in the capital, eat and drink a lot before entering the palace. The three women have arrived in the capital, so they are not in a hurry, Nie Guifei said: "I and Shuiyue Mongolian Gongzi escorted all the way, and please allow us to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, invite the prince to dinner, and then think about entering the palace." Gu Yuecong was indeed hungry, and he didn't shirk it at the moment. The four abandoned the car and entered the city, although it was dusk, but the land of Gyeonggi was even more bustling and lively.
The four of them came to an inn called "North Jiangsu Yipin", which has four floors, and each floor is crowded with people. When Gu Yuecong saw this grand scene, he thought of starvation along the way, and sighed in his heart. Ouyang Long'er said: "During these days, vegetables and radishes are dried every day, and they are just open meat. ”
The four of them sat down on the third floor by the corridor, and Ouyang Long'er looked around. Nie Guifei said: "Gu Gongzi, we have arrived in the capital, and it doesn't hurt to get drunk today." When she spoke, she stared at Gu Yuecong with a pair of wonderful eyes, between the corners of her mouth, always smiled lightly, Gu Yuecong remembered the scene of drinking a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel a little faintly hot, he knew that Nie Guifei was looking at him, so he had to look at him and said: "Miss Nie has this Yaxing, and she should accompany herself." ”
After a while, a large table full of dishes, Nie Guifei asked for six jars of aged Shaoxing rice wine, and said: "Last time we drank six jars, this time it is indispensable, Gu Gongzi, Su cuisine has Jinling cuisine, Su Xi cuisine, Xu Hai cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine four major cuisines, this shop is good at cooking Jinling cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, these two cuisines are fresh in flavor, light but not thin, thick but not greasy, accompanied by Shaoxing rice wine is the most delicious, Gu Gongzi will know it when he eats." Gu Yuecong looked at the table full of dishes, the color and taste were completely different from the Northwest diet, and he couldn't help but move his index fingers, and said, "Then I'm welcome." "Lift the spoon and eat it. Nie Guifei saw him gobbling up his food, and said with a smile: "I love Gu Gongzi's straightforward and simple temperament, I have seen a lot of people in the capital, my eyes are dazzled, and my heart is confused, Sister Long'er, do you say?" Intentionally glanced at Ouyang Long'er, Ouyang Long'er didn't know what to say to Shui Yue, and said when he heard this: "It's like that Zhu Tianhao, who is not bad from head to toe, and I don't know which life it is a blessing to marry Sister Shui Yue." Shui Yue immediately blushed.
The four of them were eating by themselves, when they suddenly heard a noise downstairs, and only one of them shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, have you ever seen this person?"
The person downstairs said: "Back to the official, the small shop is full of people, and I haven't paid attention to ......."
Fang Cai's voice interrupted: "The father-in-law has an order, and those who find this person will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver. "The sound of hustle and bustle downstairs came upstairs, apparently in chaos.
The four of them were all stunned, and Ouyang Long'er said, "When did there be a thief in the capital?"
Gu Yuecong said: "The father-in-law in this person's mouth is Liu Leiao?"
Nie Guifei frowned slightly, and said: "Except for his people, who would dare to be so blind." "There was a little helplessness on his face.
Gu Yuecong wondered: "Who is Liu Lei Ao, listening to Nie Guifei's tone, this person doesn't even seem to care much about the emperor." ”
I only heard the official at the beginning say: "Go, go upstairs, you two, stay here, if anyone dares to leave without permission, they will be punished as anti-thieves and fellow parties." ”
In an instant, seven or eight officers and soldiers rushed to the second floor, Gu Yuecong happened to sit on the opposite side of the corridor, looked down the corridor, and saw seven men with knotted muscles and beards surging up, Gu Yuecong exclaimed: "These people are really from the government?" Nie Guifei sat on one side, and couldn't help but look down, and said in a low voice: "Liu Leiao, this heavy use of people, most of them are gangsters, these people are rampant in the capital, I have seen it a few times. Suddenly, the two of them looked at each other, they both gasped, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, only to see that the official in front of them held up a portrait in his hand, and the person on the painting was Ouyang Long'er!
The official went to the second floor and shouted, "Whatever you are hiding, come and recognize it." ”
Ouyang Long'er listened to the babbling of those people, suddenly put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "If you dare to disturb the old lady to eat, I'll let them get out." As soon as Fang got up, Gu Yuecong and Nie Guifei pressed her back to her seat at the same time, and said in a low voice: "Don't move." Fortunately, there was a lot of noise downstairs, but I didn't hear the three of them talking.
Ouyang Long'er was even more curious, and wanted to look around several times, but was stopped by Gu Nie and the others.
At this moment, I heard the official say, "Paste the portrait at the door of the store, and let's go." An attendant said: "My lord, the third and fourth floors are not checked?" The official said: "At this time, inns, restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, and cigarette pipes add up to two or three hundred. Gu Nie and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Ouyang Long'er heard the footsteps of the official messenger getting farther and farther away, and he didn't know why Gu Yuecong and Nie Guifei didn't let her see it, and they were even more itchy.
The officials went downstairs, and the official knocked on the counter with the handle of his knife, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, have you paid this year's tooth tax?" The shopkeeper said: "Lord Hui, all the small shops that should pay taxes this year have been paid, and they will be collected in the last month of next year." The official said, "Then pay the year after tomorrow today." The shopkeeper complained bitterly and said: "My lord, the small shop is a small business, and a few days ago in order to pay for next year's ......" Before the words were finished, the official stretched out his hand, grabbed the shopkeeper, hooked his elbow, dragged him out from behind the counter, and said: "If you want to pay it, you will pay, where is the lot of nonsense." The shopkeeper said: "The money in the small shop has been handed over, and there is really not so much for a while." The official shook his hand, and the shopkeeper fell out, rolled twice on the ground, and hit the corner of the wall, although the fall was painful, but he was not injured, but he glanced at the officials, his eyes were full of despair, and he simply didn't stand up, and the official ordered: "Go and see, take as much as you want, and count it as the tax for the next year." The two attendants immediately jumped into the counter and searched for it.
Although Ouyang Long'er couldn't see it, he could hear the words downstairs clearly, and said, "Brother Gu, Sister Nie, these people are lawless, why are you all indifferent?"
Gu Yue Cong knew her temperament, and was afraid that she would insist on coming out, so he said: "If you want to make a move, you are not in a hurry." But how could Ouyang Long'er wait, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said loudly: "Hey, the group of bullying dog officials downstairs have come up to fight with this friend in a white robe." At that time, the people in the inn were silent, and the crows in "Northern Jiangsu Yipin" were silent, and Ouyang Long'er's shout was extremely clear.
The seven officials heard the insults from someone upstairs and rushed upstairs together. In a hurry, Gu Yuecong waved his right hand and patted the Fengchi point on the back of Ouyang Long'er's neck, afraid that she would speak, so he clicked on his neck dumb point again, pushed her under the table, and covered it with a tablecloth again. When I looked back, the upstairs guests were staring at the wall. When Gu Yuecong first arrived in Sidi, he didn't know the sophistication of the capital, and he didn't know if these people would denounce him for a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, so he couldn't help but look at Nie Guifei, who only played with the wine glass in his hand and didn't say a word.
