Chapter 227: Jining Mansion 14
Hao Yan and Tong Yunfei left Xue's house and ran to the city wall over the wall, and when they arrived outside the city, they rushed towards Linhu Town, and slowed down after running. Tong Yunfei smiled and said, "Miss Hao, you are really not a first-class killer. Hao Yan said: "But this is the first time I have killed people for free, and it is my own intention to kill." Tong Yunfei said: "Does it feel any different?" Hao Yan said: "Of course it's different, I didn't feel like killing people before, and I always felt a little guilty, but this time I feel very cool, like I have done a great deed." Tong Yunfei said: "Are you doing great things, you killed a few wicked people, and many people will no longer be bullied by them in the future." Hao Yan said: "Tong Gongzi, do you think I'm too ruthless." Tong Yunfei said: "It's not ruthless at all, kindness to bad people is cruelty to good people, and if you give them the opportunity to correct, they can't blame you if they don't cherish it." ’
Hao Yan and Tong Yunfei talked about coming to the Good Luck Inn in Linhu Town, and when the two saw the silence, they flew up to the room and quietly returned to the guest room to rest. The next day, Tong Yunfei and they finished breakfast, asked the boat family to continue to stay in the inn, he and Hao Yan walked back to Jining Mansion, Hao Yan was still dressed as a son, from the south into the city, as soon as they entered the city, there were street discussions everywhere, talking about the destruction of the Xue family, saying that the woman in black was strong and vicious like hatred, and there was no forgiveness for killing the bad guys, and some ruffians who usually ran rampant on the streets disappeared for a while, for fear that the misdeeds of the woman would be seen and killed.
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan walked on South Street for a while, and when they saw that a Ruyi inn was not bad, they moved in, opened two upper rooms, and walked out of the inn to the street after opening the rooms. I want to see what the government is doing. All I heard along the way was how the Xue family did too much evil. How to be punished, there is no way for the government to do anything. He walked to the intersection of the two streets, and saw that there were many people in front of the wall at the entrance of the east street, as if they were looking at something, so the two walked over.
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan walked closer to take a look, and it turned out that a notice was posted on the wall, which read: "The son of the prefect Zhou is married, and there are many guests on the wedding day, so temporary domestic servants are to be recruited." Both men and women are required, the salary is preferential, and those who are interested go to the prefect's yamen to sign up, and the registration time is two days, and those who are interested should be as soon as possible. After reading it, the two walked aside, and Tong Yunfei said: "You see, if we sneak into the prefect's house, we have a better chance of finding evidence." Hao Yan said: "That's right, then let's make a maid and check in to see if we can find strong evidence, but we have to find a set of ordinary people's clothes to change into." After the two men had finished speaking, they walked towards the poor man's dwelling in the quiet alley.
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan found a coarse cloth shirt, wrapped it, and walked from the yamen again. Seeing that there were very few people who signed up, the two went back to the inn. The next day. Hao Yan put on coarse cloth clothes and pretended to be a poor girl, and Tong Yunfei pretended to be a local descendant, and the two went to the side door on the left side of the yamen to sign up. From afar, I saw that there were people coming and going, men, women, and children, and the two of them stepped forward to inquire about the registration office, and there was a ring saying: "Sign up to find Steward Shi, I'll take you to see." After speaking, he took the two of them into the door and walked towards the courtyard, and when he walked to the courtyard, he pointed to a middle-aged man who was pointing at him and said to the two of them: "That is Steward Shi." ’
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan followed Yahuan to Steward Shi, and Yahuan said to Steward Shi: "Big butler, he is here to find work." Steward Shi said, "We have all the people." He looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that they seemed to be clever and quick men, and said, "But three or five more servants are nothing for such a big scene, so you two can stay and report your name." Tong Yunfei said: "The small one is called Tong Fei, the human winter Tong, and the flying bird." Hao Yan said: "The slave maid is called Hao Hua." Steward Shi looked at her and said, "It's really a good flower." Hao Yan hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be silent, and Steward Shi said, "You two and Caiju go find something to do." It turned out that the girl's name was Caiju, and the two of them followed Caiju away.
The servants in the prefect's courtyard, some are cleaning and cleaning, some are putting up lights, some are preparing ingredients, and the maids and servants are constantly busy with the male family. Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan are not here to work, the two of them walked from east to west in the courtyard, going south to north to check the situation, so many people are busy working, one or two are hanging out and no one can see it, as long as you don't sit still. Hao Yan saw Yiyahuan walking into a separate courtyard, so she followed the inside, and was stopped by a family member at the gate of the courtyard and said, "What are you doing?" Hao Yan said, "I want to help that sister." The family said: "You just came, only Guixiang can go in this courtyard to do things, you go away, she doesn't need your help." Hao Yan responded and walked away.
Hao Yan found Tong Yunfei and talked to him, and the two agreed to go to check the realm at night. After dinner, the other servants were still busy, Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan quietly slipped to the dark place outside the courtyard where people were not allowed to enter casually, at this time Zhou Zhifu and his wife had just walked into the courtyard, and Guixiang followed with a bucket of water behind them. Tong Yunfei said in a low voice: "It seems that this is the bedroom of the prefect Zhou, I will go to the room to peek and see if I can see the clues." After a while, Guixiang walked out of the small courtyard, Tong Yun Feiteng jumped on the wall and jumped onto the house, he lay on the house and gently took the tile down to reveal a small hole, lying on the hole and looking in.
The prefect Zhou was chatting with his wife in the room, and Zhou was smiling, and his wife said, "Master, are you so happy to marry your daughter-in-law?" Zhou Zhifu said: "Of course not, do you want me Zhou Bingkang to marry my daughter-in-law so happy." The lady said, 'Is there anything more pleasing to me?' Governor Zhou said: "Of course, we have another way to get rich." The lady said, "Do you want to ask the people for money again, sir, don't push the people to hurry, then something will happen." Governor Zhou said: "Of course, I didn't ask the people for it, but someone sent it to the door." So the people who managed the Xue family's property saw that Xue Qingshan's father and son were killed, and these people wanted to occupy the Xue family's property, and they all came to pay tribute to the prefect and wanted to be protected.
Governor Zhou said: "Madam, you see that as long as I open one eye and close one, the silver will flow in an uproar." The lady said: "This is about the same, anyway, Xue Yuanwai is not a good person, I heard that he has done a lot of murder." Zhou Zhifu took out a large stack of silver tickets from his bosom and said, "Madam, look, this is 8,000 silver tickets." Madame took it and looked at it and said with a smile: "Master, with the income of the Xue family, I will ask the people less in the future." Zhou Zhifu said: "Madame doesn't know, it's not for me to have the final say, and most of the money collected from the common people has been handed over." Mrs. said: "What good can it do to work for them, you are still the prefect after so many years, and you carry the black pot of adding taxes, in case of public anger and crime, you will bear the blame." Governor Zhou said: "What Madame said makes sense, but I am not so stupid, I have a clear account for me, if there is such a day, they don't want to think about it, Madame rest assured, Li Ge will transfer me to Beijing next year." Madame said, "The sooner we can leave Jining, the better." (To be continued......)
