"Sir, the officials were puzzled by the bet. The bet lasted for three days, and Zhan Feiyu still went out early and returned late in the past two days." Qi Tongzhi's words were not a ruling statement.
.
After the bet was reported, Mr. Qi, Qi Tongzhi and the second master Qi gathered in the study. No one could guess Zhan Feiyu's intention to sign the bet. She knew it was a bet that she would lose, but she agreed.
Qi Tongzhi glanced at Meng Zhizhou who was frowning and thinking, and asked, "Sir, I am familiar with Liu Baihu. Do you think Liu Baihu will rescue Qi Heng safely?"
Within three days, Qi Heng was rescued by Liu Baihu, and Zhan Feiyu won, but this was simply whimsical.
"If it were any other person, I would think this is possible." Meng Zhizhou knew Liu Baihu, so he felt that Zhan Feiyu's bet was very strange.
Liu Hefeng was cruel, violent and crazy. When he was eight years old, he almost cut off his elder brother's head with a knife because he had a conflict with his elder brother Liu Hejin.
Fortunately, the guards took action quickly enough to block it, but even so, Liu Hejin's shoulder was cut with a deep bone-stricken injury.
Meng Zhizhou may have intended to make friends with the Qi family, and of course, it may also be for the sake of Zhan Feiyu and Gu Xueshi behind the Qi family, so he continued to reveal some of the situations of Liu Baihu.
"I have heard that the head of the Liu family intends to train Liu Hefeng to inherit the family business, but he chose the way to join the army. The trouble was very serious at the beginning, and the sword was blind. The Liu family did not need their youngest son to go to the army to gain a future." Meng Zhizhou Duan
He raised the tea cup and took a sip of tea, sighed and continued, "Mrs. Liu even threatened to die, but the thirteen-year-old Liu Hefeng was determined to join the army without hesitation, but Mrs. Liu, who was hanging the beam, died unexpectedly."
"What?" Qi Tongzhi was stunned.
Meng Zhizhou nodded, "Even so, after three years of filial piety, he went to the army."
"Then why did he stay in the Fengzhou Guard?" Qi Tongzhi was puzzled. Liu Hefeng was so persistent about joining the army, and even ignored his biological mother's wishes. Logically speaking, Liu Baihu should stay at the border to kill the enemy.
Fengzhou is under Jiangnan Road, and Jiangnan is prosperous. The existence of the garrison is more of a deterrent effect. Occasionally, they will cooperate with the local government office to suppress bandits or arrest important criminals.
"He has been in the border for three years. Although he has killed many enemies, he is not obedient to discipline. As soon as he goes to the battlefield, he is as crazy as he is gaining and losing his heart, killing bloodthirsty. Once he kills red-eyed and almost kills his comrades. Finally, he finally kills his comrades.
The head of the Liu family spent a lot of money to erase the matter, and Liu Hefeng was also transferred to the Fengzhou garrison." The reason why Meng Zhizhou knew the details was, on the one hand, the head of the Liu family revealed that he was also worried that Liu Hefeng would become a murderer in a crazy way.
, naturally, we need to talk to Fengzhou magistrate.
On the other hand, after Qiu Qianhu got drunk, he said something, Liu Baihu was suppressed by Qiu Qianhu and did not dare to cause any death, but he was injured and disabled many times, even if the Liu family was willing to compensate.
If you have silver, you may always encounter one or two people with background, and you cannot settle it with only money.
Qiu Qianhu and Meng Zhizhou cleaned up the mess for Liu Baihu a lot, and their relationship became increasingly close, so Qiu Qianhu revealed some of the situation after getting drunk.
"Maybe after leaving the border, Liu Hefeng's murder situation improved a lot, and the Liu family found a famous doctor to match the pills that made people calm down." The reason why Meng Zhizhou compromised was ultimately for Fengzhou.
The business of the imperial merchant Liu family was spread all over the country. Half of the commercial taxation in Fengzhou originated from the shops of the Liu family, and the remaining half of the merchants had business dealings with the Liu family.
Both Qi Tongzhi and Meng Zhizhou had met Zhan Feiyu. Even though they had no close friends, they knew about Zhan Feiyu's presence in Nanxuan Prefecture.
"Sir, I guess it's Miss Zhan and Liu Baihu that have reached a private cooperation." Qi Tongzhi believed that this was the only reason why Zhan Feiyu signed the bet, and it might make Liu Baihu, the lunatic, cooperate. Qi Tongzhi was really curious about Zhan Feiyu's life.
What conditions can be set?
Meng Zhizhou laughed in agreement, "Look, the last day is left in the three-day period, and it's only ten thousand taels of silver."
Ten thousand taels of silver are wealth that ordinary people will never save in their lifetime, but for the big families in Fengzhou, it will never be damaged.
...
The sun sets at the west hill, and people make an appointment after dusk.
But when I saw the person standing quietly in the sunset, Ming San was like eating a fly.
"Well, I can hide in the first day of the lunar month, but I can't hide in the fifteenth day of the lunar month." Zhan Feiyu held back his laughter and looked at Ming San with an ugly expression sympathetically, "We can't keep sitting in the carriage."
Zhu Changyun looked out through the curtain of the carriage, "That's not the woman who was with Miss Ling in Zhou Ji before. Why did the girl from Zangchun Tower come here?"
On that day, Qiu Dingsi, Zhang Changsong and others welcomed Chai Yi. There were two women accompanying him, one of whom was Miss Ling from Zangchun Tower, who was best at flying dance.
Ming San's handsome face turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his murderous gaze was fiercely staring at Zhu Changyun.
After a while, Ming San lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, no longer having the lustful and lustfulness of the past.
Zhan Feiyu opened his eyes wide and continued to peek, "Asheng, you have good ears, listen to what they are saying."
Looking back at Zhu Changyun, Zhan Feiyu explained: "That was the wife of the third young master and Li, who was later taken as a concubine by Chai Yi."
Zhu Changyun widened his eyes like a ghost. He was just wondering if this was the romantic affairs of Master Ming. After all, with Ming San's unruly personality, it is normal to linger in brothels. Moreover, he had heard of Master Ming San before.
Poems are indeed very talented, but several poems are written by brothel singers. But the honest man Zhu Changyun never expected that the Zangchunlou singer he thought was Ming San's wife, no, he was already separated.
With a click, Ming San stood still and looked at Huang Li lazily. Although the two of them were as respectful as ice, Huang Li looked proud and gorgeous, like a blooming peony.
But now, although Huang Li is still in brocade clothes and silk, the arrogance in her eyebrows has completely disappeared, and she has even become more cowardly. It is right. She is a hypocrite who is profit-oriented and is a real villain like Chai Yi. Huang Li has no value for use.
, for Chai Yi, it is just a toy.
"I was plotted." Huang Li turned her head and looked at the carriage not far away with a suppressed hatred. If it weren't for Zhan Feiyu's thrust.
Ming San shook his head sneered, "You mean you failed to plot against Prefect Zhang, but instead, you were plotted against Prefect Zhang and became Chai Yi's concubine, and the Huang family also removed you from the clan."
"Ming Maoze!" Huang Li roared in anger and looked at Ming San with anger.
Thinking of the past and the current situation, Huang Li asked with red eyes, "Wife is noble by husband! But what have I got after many years of marriage to you? You recite poems and write pairs all day long, and you are romantic and elegant, but you don't know
If you are motivated and don’t study for the imperial examination, Ming Maoze, you ruined me and harmed me!"
Huang Li only wanted to be an official wife, but Ming San was only willing to be a romantic talent who was in love with the mountains and rivers. Huang Li had a quarrel and finally wanted to marry the prefect Zhang after divorce. Unfortunately, she had a simple and planned to do something.
But it hurts myself.
After taking a few steps back, Ming San looked at Huang Li, who was like a shrew, and sneered arrogantly: "Before you married me, I have already said that I will no longer be the imperial examination. If you want to be prosperous and wealthy, why don't you look like the little girl Zhan
Go to the imperial examinations as well?”
After Ming San was rejected by Gu Xueshi, he became depressed. Ming Shanchang and Ming Master and others also persuaded him. Unfortunately, Ming San was stubborn and Ming Shanchang was too lazy to care in the end. Besides, Ming San's temperament is not suitable for the officialdom.
But Huang Li didn't believe that. She thought she could change Ming San and let Ming San take office for her imperial examination. Of course, Huang Li also thought that the Ming family could not always let Ming San live as lazy as Ming San, with Ming San's talent,
As long as he is willing, he may become a Jinshi at the age of thirty, so Huang Li designed Ming San. She knocked Ming San into the water, and the two hugged each other, forcing Ming San to marry her. Who knows that one year after another
In the year, Ming San still did not seek progress.
"Okay, you are Chai Yi's concubine now, and it's not suitable to show up." Ming San was too lazy to waste his words. Huang Li's hysterical appearance has been seen too many times in the past few years, and it can't be understood.
"You!" Huang Li was trembling with anger, but when she looked at Ming San who turned around and left without mercy, tears suddenly flowed down.
Two dong dong sounds, Ming San knocked his fingers on the carriage, "Okay, I've seen the excitement, I haven't gotten off yet, are you planning to spend the night in the carriage?"
The curtain was lifted, Zhan Feiyu smiled so guilty that he jumped off the carriage quickly.
Zhu Changyun also had an extremely awkward expression. Even though he was a wife whom Ming Gongzi had married in the past, he was regarded as the singer of Zangchun Tower. As expected, he shouldn't have spoken at that time.
Hong'er had no idea what happened. After being carried off the carriage by Zhu Changyun, she immediately held the bamboo pole and rubbed against Zhan Feiyu.
As night came, thunder roared, and heavy rain suddenly came, as if a hole had broken through the sky, and the rain poured down.
"Miss, don't think about it, my brother won't let you go." He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu helplessly at the station door. Not to mention the danger, he said that the rain was so heavy that he would get wet in a straw raincoat.
.
"I am brewing my thoughts and planning to write a poem about reading on a rainy night." Zhan Feiyu hummed twice, never admitting that he was abandoned because of his three-legged cat skills.
Zhan Feiyu was about to turn around, but suddenly, his eyes swept away and shivered in fear.
Ming San came over from the downpour of rain, stood under the corridor and shook the rainwater from the straw raincoat, smiling at Zhan Feiyu who was obviously scared, "I even greeted him at the door when you saw me coming."
.”
"I can't see my five fingers!" Zhan Feiyu shook his hand, but in the dark, his white and tender claws were particularly conspicuous. Zhan Feiyu was so angry that he took his hand back that he said angrily: "The sound of wind, rain, thunder, you think I am Qianli'er
.”
He Nuan handed the cloth towel to Ming San, and looked at Zhan Feiyu with a bulging cheek with a smile. If the lady had a clever eye and a gentle ear, she would definitely follow her elder brother out.
I guess I was so irritable about copying books during this period, otherwise the lady would not want to go out and join in the fun.
After sitting down at the desk, Ming San asked, "Tomorrow is the third day. Are you sure you can find Qi Heng tonight?"
"As the saying goes, movement is worse than being quiet. Before they did not move, we could not really dig Fengzhou three feet of ground, but once Liu Baihu intervened, Chai Yi and the others moved, Asheng and the others could follow the clues to find Qi Heng .”Under the candlelight, Zhan Feiyu's face was quiet. Three days was enough, otherwise Huang Li would not come to Nanhu Lane during the day.
That night, many people in Fengzhou were awakened by the sound of wind and rain, and then they no longer felt sleepy, but it was not just the sound of thunder in the wind and rain.
Early in the morning, the ground was still wet, and early vendors started selling along the street, "Bumble buns and steamed buns..."
"It's been a waste of selling tofu..."
"Old Zhang, give me two big meat buns, Mr. Liu, and another bowl of tofu flowers." The morning diner sat down on the bench and heard the hurried footsteps behind him, and couldn't help but look back.
Wow! A group of detectives with big swords on their waists were running towards them, which made passers-by on the street immediately retreat to both sides, for fear of blocking the road and being arrested by the man to go to prison for dinner.
Lao Zhang put the plate containing two buns on the table and handed over the chopsticks, "You went out a few days ago. I heard that a child from the Qi family was missing. He was still a child. These days
The Tianguanfu and Qi family are looking for people, almost turning Fengzhou into the sky."
"Is it a photo shoot?" The man looked ugly and hated these photo shoot shoots who abducted children. "Even scholars dare to abduct, so they should let the official arrest them. If they chop off a few more heads, no one dares to steal the child.
.”
"Who knows..." Before Lao Zhang finished speaking, he saw the detective running towards the alley on the right. He couldn't help but turn around and look, "Why did you surround the apricot garden?"
More than a dozen constables divided eight people to guard the front door and side door, and the rest rushed into the Xingyuan directly, which made the people around them look into the alley.
A moment later, the sound of horse hooves sounded, but a carriage headed straight for the plum garden. When he saw a few people running behind the carriage, the passerby's expression suddenly became frightened, "That's Liu Baihu's soldier and guard.
hospital?"
"Don't watch it, don't talk." Old Zhang lowered his voice and reminded him a few times. If he offended the yamen, he would be thrown into prison for a few days or a few robberies. If he really couldn't pay some money, he would not be able to pay.
It's all right.
But if you offend Liu Baihu, you are afraid that your life will be lost. The whip will really make people fucked.
The old fifth sold bamboo equipment on the street, wasn't it because of a straw hat that rolled down on the road, and Liu Baihu was riding a horse. Two years have passed, and the scar on the old fifth's face is still there. Fortunately, God blessed me, and I was not hurt.
Eyes, otherwise they will become blind.
The carriage was parked outside the Meiyuan gate, and the soldiers who followed him, except for four people staying next to the carriage, the rest of the people rushed into the Meiyuan.
A quarter of an hour later, a few more fast horses were racing. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the streets in the morning, and even if they ran wildly, they would not hurt passers-by.
Zhang Changsong and Qiu Dingsi arrived at the Meiyuan at almost the same time. Looking at the carriage parked in front, the two looked extremely embarrassed. Before, Liu Baihu began to send people to investigate the news, and they were in a state of great concern. Today, early morning
The constable from the prefecture surrounded the plum garden, which is enough to explain everything.
