Chapter 242: Unintentional Achievement
Qingzhou is one of the ancient "Yu Gong" Kyushu, Zhou Li also has the mention of "Qingzhou in the east", time has passed, although Qingzhou is still a big city now, but it is slightly inferior to Jinan Mansion. For Xiao Wu, who has been in Nanjing and Beijing for a long time, there are new things everywhere, and there are new people everywhere, plus she is still full of grievances in her heart, and she always feels that she can't do anything, so she simply wanders outside all day long. Du Juan knew that she was eccentric and had some skills, and she let it go.
"Look at this rouge gouache, the three Taos and five Cheng are the most even, and the big girl and the little daughter-in-law must have holy products!"
"Fresh melons and fruitsFresh melons and fruits, if there is no sweetness, no money!"
"Chen Sanjia's plaster, regardless of external and internal injuries, stick it down to protect you!"
"The fresh mutton of Cuihu Ji, the old folks should come and try it!"
This along the Fuyuan Street is a road is a variety of vendors and shops, it is the first lively place in Qingzhou Mansion, Xiao Wu is wearing a silver gauze shirt, a plain silk skirt, and a little bead on his head, just wearing three small buns, looking just like an ordinary small jasper, but it is a stall shop wandering aimlessly. There are many people who want to take advantage of them along the way, but she is more slippery than a loach, where will these people get involved?
From the end to the end, she was sweating profusely, and her face was slightly red. At this time, standing in front of a stall selling bracelets, she couldn't help but stroke the string of fragrant wood prayer beads on her wrist, and suddenly remembered the dead Daoyan monk, and tears fell down all of a sudden. The stall owner was doing business well, and suddenly saw a pretty girl standing in front of the stall like a pear blossom with rain, and he had a headache, until the little aunt and grandmother cried enough and left.
After crying once, Xiao Wu lost interest in seeing anything, and walked around casually all morning, seeing that the sun was three poles, she casually found a restaurant, sat down and asked for a bowl of noodles. Because she was pretty, as soon as she sat down, many people looked at her, and some people were buzzing and gossiping.
At this time, the three diners at a table next to them suddenly talked about Le'an's big case, and counted the officials of the current government and county government one by one. Xiao Wu was absent-minded at first, but when she heard people talking about Zhang Yue, she couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
"Since the king of Han arrived in Shandong, this day has not stopped! He first robbed more than a dozen big families in our Qingzhou, and then he was assassinated, and now someone has robbed the prisoner, alas, fortunately he changed the title to Le'an, otherwise the people of our Qingzhou would be finished. ”
"Recently, the price of salt has dropped by two percent, I heard that it is our prefect and Xiao Zhang's book together, in the last two months, the salt production of the two salt farms in Shouguang in Le'an has doubled. Anyway, the salt that was sold privately was a lot cheaper......"
"Now there are only three days left, and I don't know if there is a charter in the government. If those adults are swept away by this matter with a stick, then it will be all over, and there will be no one to carry out this good government in the future. The prefect is also right, this is the right thing to ask Lord Xiao Zhang to soothe the people, even if those people in the countryside stop again, it will be useless if they can't solve the case! ”
"What do you know, the government is afraid that all the mud legs will rush up and make a big incident. Didn't you hear those villagers who entered the city mention, Lord Xiao Zhang was divine, it rained wherever he went, it was even more magical than Lei Gong! Have you seen the case of Judge Lei? Lei Gong should kill those bastards who have no conscience and no reason in the countryside! ”
Hearing this last sentence, Xiao Wu couldn't help but burst out laughing. When the three men who were talking saw her smile, they were overjoyed, and they were all amused by themselves, so they even showed off their knowledge. Xiao Wu listened to them with a smile, and ate a bowl of noodles for half an hour, and then dropped a few coppers and went out at the end.
As soon as she stepped out of the threshold with her front feet, a pointy-headed man chased after her, and said with a serious smile: "I don't look like a local girl, so why don't I be a guide for her?" I know which inn and which house is cheap in this Qingzhou city......"
Squinted at it, saw that this man was wearing a brown cloth shirt, a pair of mouse eyes were smart, Xiao Wu, who had been in the market, swept his waist and chest, and immediately guessed what he was doing, but he didn't break it, and said with a smile that he wanted to go to the government to have a look. When the man heard that he was going to the mansion, he was a little hesitant, but when he saw Xiao Wu and a single woman, he immediately stalked and said that he would give him a ride. Xiao Wu didn't bother to pay attention to the kraft candy pasted up, so he simply let him follow. When she passed by Dusi Street, she suddenly saw a figure in front of her that was somewhat familiar, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Girl, that's the Dusi Yamen, not the government office!"
Xiao Wu didn't pay attention to the shouting behind her, and turned into Dusi Street with an arrow step, and saw the figure in green shirt in front of her straight into the Dusi Yamen, she became more and more puzzled in her heart, and rushed forward in three or two steps, and looked at the gate again.
There were two military men guarding the door, and one of them glanced at Xiao Wu and shouted: "Little girl, you can also peep into the Yamen?" Hurry up, or be careful to get you to jail! ”
With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Wu was willing to leave like this, and hurriedly pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Two officials, may I ask who is the one who just entered?" I looked like I was a relative. ”
"Relatives? Do you have such decent relatives? A thin soldier on the left glanced at Xiao Wu, and saw that it was just the dress of an ordinary woman from a small family, so he laughed and said, "That person is polite and polite even our Liu Dushuai, how can it be your relative?" I'm afraid that the little girl is crazy if she doesn't want to be rich, hurry up and leave, there is no one you are looking for here! ”
Xiao Wu stood thoughtfully for a moment, carefully recalling the back he had just seen, thinking that it was really impossible. After thinking about it, she couldn't get the point, so she turned around twice more at the gate of the Dusi Yamen, and then returned to the street. found that the lewd man who followed her was still looking there, so she smiled and said, "I'm going to the prefect's yamen now, can you still send it?" ”
The lewd man is a local gangster, nicknamed Iron Rooster, what he is best at is to abduct and deceive foreigners, just found that Xiao Wu is very shrewd along the way, he is a little relentless, but when he thinks of this morning, he has a new country chick, plus this can be made up into a pair to sell at a good price, he still has medicine and dagger in his waist, not afraid of the little girl playing tricks, he can't help gritting his teeth and saying: "Good things to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since I have said it, naturally send the girl to the ground." ”
This Qingzhou Mansion is quite large, all roads extend in all directions, and the iron rooster is trying to go around in circles along the way, however, Xiao Wu walked here and there, and in the end, he was taken dizzy. If it weren't for the soft southern accent that couldn't be faked, he almost suspected that it wasn't a foreigner at all. When he came down in a big circle, he actually found himself on Chunshui Street at the back gate of the mansion. While Xiao Wu was hanging around at the back door, he saw a vendor and went to buy a big bowl of tofu brain, and quietly drugged it.
When he approached, he was about to go up to talk, when he suddenly saw a tower-like man come out of the back office, and Xiao Wu, who was wandering around, went straight up to talk, as if he was very familiar. At this moment, no matter how sluggish he was, he knew that he had found the wrong person this time, so he quickly turned around and left, but before he ran a few steps, he grabbed the collar by one of them.
"Little Fifth Girl, you said this person is a kidnapper?"
"That's right, this person tried his best to trick me along the way, and when he learned that I was single and came to Qingzhou, he was very attentive, and he must have a name in his tofu brain! Also, his waist is bulging, and I just deliberately bumped it but found that it wasn't copper or silver, so it shouldn't be a good thing. There's a hard guy hidden in his chest, mostly a murder weapon. Brother Hu Qi, you have to send people to the government for a good trial, and put dozens of boards on it to make this guy suffer a little, he will definitely recruit them all! ”
Where could the iron rooster expect that Xiao Wu would be able to see through the place where he was thinking about the important guy at a glance, and he was suddenly shocked. Seeing that Hu Qi nodded and dragged him into the back door of the mansion, he finally knew that this time it was planted. He had a very thick background in the Yamen, where did he dare to enter the tiger's mouth, remembering what the chick had said in the morning, and hurriedly shouted: "The official is gracious, the little one has eyes and doesn't know that Taishan offended this girl, and he didn't mean it!" The little one has something important to tell the official, and the official will definitely have merit as long as he reports it, and please let the little one go, and the little one has an eighty-year-old mother......"
Hearing the word meritorious, Hu Qi suddenly stopped, and Xiao Wu also stared at the person in front of him with suspicious eyes. The iron rooster saw that it was already on the middle road in the mansion, and he was still being held in one hand and couldn't move, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained in a low voice: "Official, the government is investigating Le'an's case, and the little one has heard that they are hiding a nest, as long as the official lets me go......"
Before he finished speaking, Hu Qi shook his hand and let go of his collar, followed by grabbing the clothes on his chest again, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?" If you dare to tell half a lie, Lao Tzu will send you to the torture room and skin you alive! ”
Feeling the huge strength of the hand in his chest, the iron rooster was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and suddenly he regretted it. was about to say some big things to get by, but unexpectedly, Xiao Wu next to him suddenly interjected: "You are a small character, how can you know such big news?" Brother Hu Qi, this kind of person doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, you have to use torture to ask, you must ask where the news came from, otherwise you have to eat him and deceive him! ”
The iron rooster even regretted his intestines at this time, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for provoking this little girl to seek death. He still had the luck mentality that others were lying and intimidating, but when Hu Qi dragged him straight to the prison of the government office, he gave an order to a messenger with a full face, and saw the messenger pick up a pair of clamps and throw them on the ground, and his only trace of luck was gone.
"The official spared his life, the little one just turned up a girl from a village in the morning, she said that there was something important to report to Xiao Zhang, saying that she knew who did Le'an's case! The little one thought she was talking nonsense, so she didn't take it seriously! Seeing that Hu Qi's face was full of disbelief, the messenger forced him up with a clamping stick, and he was even more frightened, and shouted in his throat, "That girl said that her name is Xi'er, and she has seen Xiao Zhang!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Hu Qi was suddenly shocked, grabbed the iron rooster's hair and forced him to ask a few words, and when he asked about the location and other details of the Tibetans, he immediately ordered the messenger to take care of this guy, and rushed out. Seeing that Xiao Wu was still poking his head at the door of the prison, he went up and slapped her on the shoulder.
"Well done girl, you're doing a great favor this time! I'm going to tell your lordship! ”
