It wasn't until dinner was over that Zhen Ping'er led a group of maids back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. It is said that the princess arranged for them to go to the granary to inspect. It was neither early nor late, and they went out to inspect just as they were eating. I really don't know what Tang Mei was thinking.
The maids came back from the dining hall carrying food boxes and gathered in the pavilion to eat the food that was still warm.
Su Ping stood not far from the booth, watching them eat.
The food served by the maids was really rough. However, they were already used to it and did not find it hard to swallow. Especially Tang Ting's skinny little maid, who wolfed down the food. Su Ping looked distressed and had a smile on her face.
A slightly comforting smile.
Tang Ting found that Su Ping was looking at her. She felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she stammered. After taking two bites, she secretly glanced at her uncle with her big eyes. She found that his uncle was still looking at her, and her face turned red to her neck, looking anxious.
Turn your head.
Everyone ate quickly, but Yang Liuer looked depressed, as if she had swallowed medicine with every bite she took.
Yang Liu'er came from a well-off family. If she hadn't been trafficked, she would have eaten fine grains. The more she ate, the sadder she became. The handsome maid shed tears while eating. When others asked her why she was crying, she only said that she was blinded by the wind and sand. Su Ping was fascinated by this scene.
I feel bad in my heart.
At this time Concubine Kong and Concubine Lin came together with heavy buns and high heads. They also brought their children, Tang Yan and Tang Gong, two pink and jade-carved children. Su Ping also liked it.
The two concubines went upstairs and chatted with Tang Mei about beating teeth to offer sacrifices. The young master Tang Yan took the Tang concubine and ran to Su Ping. He smiled and said that he wanted to learn martial arts with his sister-in-law. After learning the martial arts, he went to fight Wang Tian, Zhen Dao, Shi Chong,
Three brats.
Su Ping asked him, those three people dare to bully you?
Tang Yan said that it was not that they bullied me, but that I wanted to challenge all the boys in the class, and only these three could not beat me. Men compete in private and are not allowed to tell their teachers and parents, otherwise they will be looked down upon by their classmates, and their brother-in-law should also keep it a secret.
Su Ping taught them entry-level martial arts, chain mandarin duck kicks, and Tang Yan was a very intelligent child. He could master it with style after learning it for a few times, but Tang Yan, who was like a porcelain doll, couldn't learn it, and looked worried.
expression.
Su Ping laughed and said that girls who don't learn martial arts are still popular. Hearing this, the little porcelain girl with big eyes and a boy bun started laughing. She also made a wicker headband and gave it to her sister.
husband.
Not long after, the two concubines left with the children. Su Ping sat upright on the small bed, practicing his internal strength. He was in good condition today, but felt that there was a possibility of breakthrough in a few veins, so he held his breath and concentrated, and continued to attack. Unfortunately, he failed.
Instead, I felt tired.
I fell down and was about to go to sleep, but suddenly I heard a cry from next door. I thought it was Feng Die crying. Later I heard voices and realized that there was no longer a maid in the room next door.
Su Ping got out of bed, knocked on the window and asked, who was it and why was she crying?
Yang Liu'er's voice came from the room, saying that she had abdominal pain, and it would be better if she just endured it.
Su Ping said: "I guess you don't have abdominal pain, but you are homesick, right? How about this, you write a letter home and I will mail it for you. Just ask your father to come to Luoyang and redeem you. I will work with you
The princess begs for mercy and does not want your father to have too much money."
Yang Liu'er said happily: "My uncle is so kind and kind, Liu'er will never forget it. I just beg my uncle to ask for the redemption price in advance, so as to save my father from traveling in vain. This is a thousand miles away, and a round trip is like peeling off a layer of skin."
of."
Su Ping said: "I know how much I care about my father. She is such a good daughter."
After saying that, Su Ping turned to look at Qinxiang Xiaozhu, and saw that there were still lights in the Xiaozhu. It seemed that the princess had not yet fallen asleep, so Su Ping went to the Xiaozhu to ask for Tang Mei's opinion.
Tang Mei has taken off her robe and is wearing a long casual dress. Her bun has been untied and draped over her shoulders. She looks more friendly in this look, which is completely different from the arrogant look of her high-top bun. .
After listening to Su Ping's plea for Yang Liu'er, Tang Mei said: "I sympathize with her tragic situation. If her parents come to pick her up, I can even let her go without paying. But she is a palace maid, and her birth, old age, illness and death must be reported to her every month. Report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And if she stays in Luoyang, she will get a monthly salary. If she leaves Luoyang, she will have nothing."
Su Ping was curious: "How can she get a monthly salary?"
Tang Mei said: "When the new emperor ascended the throne, the concubines left the palace one after another, and most of the maids were eliminated. Many of the maids were favored by the late emperor. Such maids have a salary. Although it is not much, they still have enough to eat. These maids were taken care of by Tang Zhao and were treated as if they were lucky palace ladies, so they were paid monthly."
Su Ping asked: "How much money do you have?"
Tang Mei said: "One or two or three coins per month, or one stone and two bushels of rice."
One stone and two measures of rice were equivalent to about one hundred and fifty kilograms in later generations. On average, there were five kilograms of rice a day, which would make the little maid die without finishing it.
After hearing this, Su Ping decided to talk to Yang Liu'er. This was imperial food that could last a lifetime. Did he really decide to give up?
"Hey, you are really worried about this day. You are also responsible for the maid's affairs? Don't you have a crush on her?" Just when Su Ping was thinking wildly, Tang Mei suddenly said sarcastically.
Su Ping smiled.
Although this conversation was about the maid, it gave Su Ping a new perspective on Tang Mei.
Just by her words "I can even let her go without paying for it", I feel that Tang Mei is quite humane.
Not all masters can say this. Especially a good-looking maid like Yang Liu'er, whose market price is not low.
Seeing Su Ping going to meet the princess, Yang Liuer couldn't sleep. She put on her clothes and waited at the Moon Gate. Seeing Su Ping come back, she asked eagerly. Su Ping told her what she had heard and asked her if she wanted to give up the imperial food?
Upon hearing this, Yang Liu'er was also troubled and suddenly wiped away tears. Su Ping said, "Don't worry, just tell me when you think about it."
Yang Liu'er said: "There are some words that I hold in my heart and I am suffering so much. It's a pity that my uncle is a man, otherwise I could have said something from my heart."
After saying this, the handsome little maid returned to the house. Su Ping didn't know what she wanted to say. Su Ping shrugged and went back to the house to sleep.
In her sleep, she dreamed that Yang Liuer came to Su Ping carrying a mountain of gold on her back. Su Ping was shocked and asked her how she could carry a mountain of gold?
She said that she was a fairy from heaven who came down to earth. As she spoke, she turned the golden mountain into the size of a soybean grain. She only said that her uncle was a good person, so she gave it to her. When she was short of money, she would knock on the golden mountain and there would be endless money. Fall down.
After giving the gift, the little fairy looked at Su Ping with a smile. Su Ping also looked at her with a smile. But she suddenly said with a serious face that except for the Queen Xingjun, she was only allowed to like her, and she was not allowed to like other fairy daughters. Su Ping was puzzled and asked who else was the fairy daughter? But she didn't answer, shook her fairy robe, turned into a cloud, and flew away.
I also dreamed of a decisive battle between Chen Qianfou with a black hairband and Long Tiangang with a golden helmet on the dome.
The two fought until it was stormy, sand and rocks were flying, the sky was dark and the ground was dark, clouds and thunder were rolling, and swords, guns, swords and halberds seemed to fly out from the clouds and thunder. Long Tiangang suddenly disappeared into the dark clouds, leaving only a huge head, chasing the mosquitoes.
Chen Qianfou, the size of a fly, was flying in the sky.
Su Ping roared loudly and turned into a towering giant. He was about to fight against Long Tiangang. At this time, he heard Chen Qianfu, a little mosquito, shouting loudly, saying that he could defeat the giant alone without letting Su Ping interfere.
Perhaps it was due to the failure of the attack on the veins that Su Ping was tired and dreamy. The battle here was not over yet, and he saw two embarrassed figures running over in the wind and rain.
A closer look revealed that they were friends Sima Jing and Xu Changqing. Sima Jing said, no, no, my eldest daughter died for you. Xu Changqing said, no, no, the one flying in the sky is Su Ping.
When I raised my head and looked up, I saw a lonely hong screaming sadly and flying into the sky.
The next morning, when Su Ping was woken up by the naughty maid Wu Xiaoxiao, she felt dizzy, as if she hadn't slept all night.
The little maid was so naughty that she woke up Su Ping. She was still lying by the door with a wicked smile on her face, as if she was waiting for Su Ping to have an attack. Su Ping glared at her, and she ran away laughing.
…
"Why did you arrest Qiao Dongcheng?"
Su Ping came to the Criminal Department and met Xue Pang. Xue Pang stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and asked in a low voice.
Su Ping said: "I suspect he is related to the Qi Yu case."
Xue Pang had a sullen face, turned around and stared at Su Ping: "Did you really buy that teahouse?"
Su Ping said: "Yes."
Xue Pang sighed, sat down and said, "Go ahead and buy it, but I want to remind you not to get too close to King Qi's people in the future. Do you hear me clearly?"
Although his tone was not kind, Xue Pang's words were good words, and Su Ping smiled.
Su Ping then told Xue Pang the idea of casting a wide net, and mentioned the cost of hiring the Red Flower Club. Xue Pang said that the national treasury is tight now, and it is also difficult for the Ministry of Punishment to pay. Let the Ministry of Punishment take the money, and you can forget about it.
.However, you can go to the corrupt official's house to get money. When the time comes, I will issue a search warrant for you, which will be regarded as a public inspection and the use of hired manpower will be used.
With the money coming in, work will go smoothly. Su Ping was rarely in a hurry today, and even Mei Ran found it strange. He asked Su Ping, "Did you drink chicken blood?" Su Ping said that he had a good dream last night, so he was very energetic today. Mei Ran
Asked, what did you dream about? Su Ping said, I dreamed that a fairy came to me and gave me a gold mountain. Mei Ran rolled her eyes.
As long as you are in the right direction, your efforts will generally pay off.
Su Ping cast a wide net and finally achieved results.
But it wasn't the people the Red Flower Club was staring at who had problems, it was someone who couldn't hold on under Su Ping's personal beating. And this person was already the eighteenth former official Su Ping beat. His name
It's called Tianqun.
Not all officials are as well-hidden as Zhang Guan, especially Tian Qun, who is the worst at disguise. He was originally the Sicang of Lushungcang, a subordinate of the Ministry of Industry. His family lived in Lushunfang, where Fan Qian,
This is where the three major chaebols of Korea gather. The people who live there are either rich or noble.
Coincidentally, Tian Qun is also Qiao Dongcheng's son and daughter.
