Qian Zhongze scolded, why did Li Youyuan come home early in the morning? He was upset about the thieves in his house, and he came to join in the fun. But since Li Youyuan is here, he must have something to report, but he can't refuse not to see it. So Qian Zhongze instructed his wife and Qian Xing'er: "You two sons and daughters carefully investigate to see what else is lost in addition to the bracelet?" I went to see Steward Li, and I didn't know what kind of chaos I came to make in the morning. ”

Zhao hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Qian Zhongze walked out of the secret room with a gloomy face and hurried to the front yard. I saw Li Youyuan standing anxiously in the front yard pacing back and forth. Qian Zhongze coughed and said, "Steward Li, is there anything wrong with coming to me early in the morning?" ”

Li Youyuan turned his head and saw Qian Zhongze, and hurriedly stepped forward. I walked faster, and I almost fell and gnawed on the mud.

"Boss, something is wrong. In the building...... Something big is wrong. Li Youyuan said with a crying voice.

……

In the backyard of Wanhualou, Qian Zhongze stood in the open space with a pale face, and several nurses were lying on the ground in front of him. Lang Zhong, who was invited, was bandaging the two nursing homes with blood on their legs, and the wailing voices of the two nursing homes shook the heavens and the earth, and the pain was so painful that foul words came out one after another.

After Lang Zhong finished bandaging, he got up and bowed to Qian Zhongze. Qian Zhongze arched his hand and said: "Doctor Zhang, I'm tired, I don't know how the injury is." ”

"Qian Dongjia, the injury is quite serious, but his life is not in danger. It's just that this is not a sword injury, but a firearm piercing the leg bones and veins, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to stand for the rest of my life. Decrepit and incompetent, and the wounds of firearms do not know how to heal. There seems to be a foreign substance left in the flesh, and the decay cannot be removed. Unless you dig up meat and get things, the old man doesn't have this means, and I hope to ask for another master. Doctor Zhang told the truth.

Doctor Zhang's voice fell, and the two nurses lying on the ground screamed even more earth-shatteringly: "Ouch, ouch, it's over now, we're scrapped." I'm going to be paralyzed for the rest of my life. Isn't it all over for my seventy-year-old mother and three-year-old child in my family, and the whole family depends on us to feed them? The owner, can you ignore us, we ended up like this for the sake of the owner. The owner......"

Qian Zhongze frowned and shouted: "Don't be noisy, who said I don't care?" Rest assured, I will ask a famous doctor to heal you. Even if the cure is not good, I will give you an explanation. ”

"Okay, that's like words. Oops, oops, it hurts to death. It hurts! The two courtyards groaned loudly.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang. It's hard work. Qian Zhongze bowed his hand to Langzhong.

Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "No thanks, the consultation fee is ten taels, and I have benefited from it." ”

The muscles on Qian Zhongze's face jumped, and the Divine Doctor Zhang of the Rejuvenation Hall was really dark, he didn't do anything, and the ten taels of silver were in hand.

"Give the silver, send the miracle doctor." Qian Zhongze waved his hand. Li Youyuan hurriedly paid the money and sent Doctor Zhang away. A handyman carried the two guards to another place to settle down, and Qian Zhongze stood in place and looked at the gray sky with his hands.

Li Youyuan came up: "Dong Weng, I think this matter is very strange." ”

Qian Zhongze frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Youyuan said: "The thief claims to be a sea bandit from Putuo Island Shark Village, but this cottage has never heard of it." Since the extermination of the Peach Blossom Island bandits the year before last, I heard that the Ning Navy has successively cleaned up several scattered bandits, and has already cleared out the bandits in eastern Zhejiang. Are you so bold enough to run to the city to commit a crime? ”

Qian Zhongze frowned and said, "If it's not a pirate, who is that?" ”

Li Youyuan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, there is something I don't know whether to say or not, I am afraid that it will cause a big wave." ”

Qian Zhongze shouted: "When?" Are you still spitting? Say. ”

Li Youyuan nodded hurriedly, leaned into Qian Zhongze's ear and whispered: "Dong Weng, I heard the people on the back street talk about a carriage that picked up the thieves under the wooden archway in the back street after the incident. Someone recognized the carriage as ...... The carriage of the Lin family in Hangzhou. ”

"What? Seriously? Qian Zhongze exclaimed with disgust.

"It's absolutely true, more than one person saw it, and the people who chased it out of our family also saw it. The carriage had the mark of the Lin family's ship. At that time, the sky was already bright, and the big ship mark of the Lin family's boat line was conspicuous, and many people saw it. Li Youyuan said in a low voice.

Qian Zhongze shouted: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Bastard stuff. Sure enough, it was him, and I was just thinking, what kind of bandit strongman, this is too bizarre. Mostly him. When you say this, don't you confirm that it is him? Okay, Lin Jue, this kid has the courage to fly into the sky, and he actually did such a bandit trip. I didn't promise him to ransom me, so he came with me. ”

Li Youyuan smacked his lips and said: "Dong Weng, it's not that I don't say it, it's a big matter, so you really have to be cautious." I also thought of Lin Jue at once. But that Lin Jue is an official of the court and the son-in-law of the palace, and I can't be sure, once I make a mistake, it will be terrible. Besides, even if it's him, what can Dong Weng do? We can't fight him, and there is no one to get the stolen goods. ”

Qian Zhongze scolded: "I can't fight him, but someone dares to touch him." You immediately follow me to the prefect's yamen. By the way, did you send someone to keep an eye on Lin Jue? Don't tell him to run away. The gates of the city will be opened in a moment, and they must not be sent out of the city. I went to ask the Kang Prefecture to seal off the gates. ”

Li Youyuan hurriedly said: "I forgot that Kang Zhifu and Dong Weng are good friends, so don't be afraid." Dong Weng, it is said that Lin Jue is going to leave Hangzhou with his family and return to Beijing today, it is said that he is taking the dragon's head boat, and he will leave this morning. Could it have something to do with what happened? ”

Qian Zhongze's eyes widened even more, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, I see." It turned out that he was going to leave Hangzhou today, and he was using the prince's boat as a cover. Hehe, it's called wanting to cover up. Nine times out of ten, this kid did it. Hurry up and prepare the car and go to see the prefect. ”

When Qian Zhongze and Li Youyuan rushed into the prefect's yamen, Kang Zizhen had just gotten up to wash. The concubine was taking care of Kang Zizhen's black bun, and Kang Zizhen pinched the concubine's soft ass from time to time to enjoy the amazing elasticity. This concubine was only accepted by Kang Zizhen when he arrived in Hangzhou, and Kang Zizhen liked it.

When he was a county magistrate in a small county in Lingnan before, Kang Zizhen never thought that one day he would be like those people he envied, the old cow eats tender grass, and a lot of young people can take a concubine to serve him. Kang Zizhen used to lash out at the wives and concubines of wealthy families, but when it was his turn to make a career, Kang Zizhen found that he was not exempt from vulgarity.

Of course, Kang Zizhen has his own theory of comforting himself, that is, the words of the sages in the sage book: food and sex. The saint was a good man, and he was always able to give the reader some excuse and make such things more open.

The concubine twisted her waist and jumped in Kang Zizhen's arms, and the stimulating Kang Zizhen had some ideas. Since Kang Zizhen accepted this little concubine, he has really tasted the taste of a woman. Looking back on the previous years, I shared a bed with my uninteresting and hateful wife for more than ten years, and actually gave birth to three children. Kang Zizhen felt that he had a miserable life before.

The master reported the news of Qian Zhongze's request to see him outside the door, which made Kang Zizhen, who was already a little interested and had already inserted his hand into the concubine's clothes and wandered away, a little discouraged. This Qian Zhongze came at an inopportune time, it was very beautiful.

The concubine smiled and pushed away Kang Zizhen to change his clothes to meet the guests, but Kang Zizhen hugged him and said with a smile: "This kind of businessman, let him wait." I'm the prefect, he can see it if he wants to? Businessmen are like you women, you can't get used to it, otherwise 'those who are far away will be angry, and those who are close will not be inferior'. ”

The little concubine said angrily: "The owner of the money can be regarded as helping the master a lot." He helped him get ahead of many things when he came to Hangzhou, otherwise he might not be able to gain a firm foothold. Just the assistant silver of those owners in the flower world, isn't it the money of the owners who came out to put pressure? Didn't the owner of the money return a lot of donated silver to the master? The old man said last time that he wanted to build a dam and repair the embankment, and the silver was in short supply, and the owner of the money was 100,000 taels as soon as he made a move, which can be regarded as positive. Other merchants are not so generous. ”

Kang Zizhen twisted the concubine's pink face and scolded with a smile: "Little thing, I have taught the master a lesson, has he gained the benefits of his Qian family?" What do you know? He scolded me to do something for him. His Qian family and the Lin family have a holiday, and after my lord and I took office, he wanted me to help him deal with the Lin family. Weren't you there at the last feast? He asked me to take the Lin family's boat and not let the Lin family do this business, see? He himself has stopped doing this business, but he still refuses to let go of the Lin family. ”

The concubine grinned and said, "The slave family doesn't understand your man's affairs, but the master can't snub him too much." I don't care if I stutter at you, so what's that? Isn't it chilling? ”

Kang Zizhen leaned up and sighed on the concubine's face and said, "Yes, yes, my heart, what you said is true." Naturally, the lord wants to give a good face, otherwise my heart and liver will stammer the lord and me every day, wouldn't I have to be more careful? Xinhe'er, how about we play a jade character flute tonight? ”

The concubine blushed and pushed away Kang Zizhen's mouth and said, "Go and go, it's not serious." ”

Kang Zizhen laughed and got up, and then changed into his official uniform and went out of the room to meet the guests. When he got out of the room, his face was already solemn, and he looked like a good official with integrity.

In the small hall at the end of the lobby, Qian Zhongze was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot. If he didn't think it was too abrupt, he would have rushed into the back hall.

"Dong Qian, what is the matter with coming to see this official so early?" Kang Zizhen said loudly.

"Master Kang, let the old man decide. You'll have to help the old man. Qian Zhongze saw Kang Zizhen at a glance, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted.

Kang Zizhen was startled, and hurriedly asked him to get up and speak, and then Qian Zhongze and Li Youyuan added one by one, and reported to Kang Zizhen what happened in Wanhua Tower in the early morning.

Kang Zizhen's whole expression was stiff and shocked, and he sat quietly in his seat without making a sound. Qian Zhongze looked at him with an incorrect expression, and hurriedly asked, "Master Kang, I'm afraid that it will be very embarrassing for you to know about this matter." But that Lin Jue, as an official of the imperial court, did such a thing that violated the laws of the imperial court, pretending to be a bandit to commit a crime, where was it still done by a court official? This is a robber, a bandit. You don't care, and I don't know who to turn to. ”

Kang Zizhen frowned and shouted, "Don't be noisy, let this official think about it." ”
