Chapter 67: At the Widow's Door
The expansion of the French consulate has been completed, and this is not something that needs to be kept secret, Yang Xiaolin inquired around, and there were still thirteen days left. He must blend into the eastern suburbs within thirteen days, and only in this way can he grasp the most haode net fishing opportunity.
He went back an hour earlier today, because Yang Xiaolin felt that it was not good to live in a widow's house now and always knock on the door in the middle of the night, although the surrounding residents understood that they lived there, but if they were seen by others, it would inevitably be something that people would have to work hard to clarify.
So he came back today because it was just getting dark. Yang Xiaolin never expected that when he first arrived at the door of Zhao's house, he saw a lot of people gathered there, and the crowd was noisy, as if something had happened.
This made his heart nervous, not that he was timid, but now he knew his situation, once his identity was recognized, it was very dangerous to have a brother alive and his whereabouts.
Biao Zi was also stunned for a moment: "Big brother, nothing will happen, right?" ”
Yang Xiaolin shook his head, and his eyes first looked around to see if there were any soldiers or fast captures. After finding no trace of these people, he calmed down a little: "It may be the trouble of the Zhao family, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, it seems that we shouldn't rent this house at all." ”
Biao Zi nodded: "Go back and let Lu Mozong go and retreat." ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything, slowly looked inside around the circle of the person, and sure enough, he saw a fat and strong guy blocking the gate of the Zhao family at this time, arguing with a young man, and the young grandmother of the Zhao family stood in front of the door, with a look on her face that seemed to be very angry.
The young man stood in front of the young grandmother and pinched his waist with both hands: "Lu Er, Young Master Zhao treated you well when he was alive, and he can't be like you." You hurry up for me now, if I know that you are making trouble, I will break your dog's leg!" ”
Lu Er shook his head: "What's the matter?" I told you that I can now be a cook in the embassy of Lord Yang, can you give me a try? You are a little Lizheng, and you dare to turn the world upside down? ”
The young man's chest heaved a little, and he stepped forward and grabbed Naruji's collar and pushed Naruer's whole person against the wall. Lu Er was not flustered, and there was no doubt that he was missing a scoundrel: "Fight, the master is here to beat you, do you dare to do it?" ”
Li Zheng's whole body trembled, and the people around him also looked indignant, but no one dared to do it. This is the Pekingese of this era, they are afraid, because there are so many things that make them afraid.
The consequences of beating the people in the embassy of foreign adults are very serious. Just like some old people in later generations fell and no one dared to help them, don't say that they have no morality, but there are many things in front of morality, which make them afraid.
Lu Er was like a victor, and pushed away the right hand there: "If you don't have the guts, let go of the master!" ”
Li Zheng didn't let go, just pressed against him: "How much money did you make from Young Master Zhao when he was alive?" zuihou just ask for this fraction of the point, and the interest is calculated! Are you still a thing? ”
Lu Er shook his head: "I also know that I am not a thing, and you have never regarded me as a thing." Let's just say that the surname Zhao, the food I cooked was a little salty, and he actually dropped my plate, and you are in the right, didn't you make trouble in my restaurant once? I didn't expect you to have today, right? ”
That villain's triumphant look had obviously made Li Zheng explode, and Yang Xiaolin leaned to the back and saw the blue tendons on Li Zheng's neck.
"Three babies, let go of him."
The young grandmother finally spoke, and she walked slowly towards here, and the crowd of onlookers made way for her.
"Lu Er, how much silver does my husband have less than you?" …,
Li Zheng let go of Lu Er, and Lu Er shook the deformed clothes that were pulled: "It's not much, it's the day Young Master Zhao died, he took people to eat twenty tables of banquets in my tavern, and he didn't give a penny, a total of four taels of silver." Counting the interest, six taels or three dollars. ”
The young grandmother's brows furrowed: "Can you allow me half a month?" ”
Six taels or three dollars, this money was placed in the Zhao family a few months ago, and it was just a small amount of money to reward the subordinates, but now the young grandmother can't take it out.
"Half a month? To put it mildly, I may not find you tomorrow if I leave now! If you want me to wait, take out the deed of your house and mortgage it. ”
Lu Er finally revealed his intentions, and the young grandmother raised her eyes to look at him: "This house can't be given to you." ”
Lu Er smiled: "Young grandma, don't say that I Lu Er is not a thing, I explained to you today, I really didn't plan to ask for that little money, it was the British comprador Robert who really liked your house!" I'm just running an errand, if you want to be happy, I'll give you more money, everyone is comfortable,"
As soon as she finished saying this, the young grandmother, who was still calm just now, suddenly rushed over like crazy and hit Lu Er: "Get out!" Get out of here! My house is not for foreigners to live in, and I will not sell it to foreigners even if I burn it! ”
Lu Er's whole person who was hit took a few steps back, and just stood firm, and there was only one kick on Lu Er's back next to him: "I'll kill you bastard!" ”
Lu Er was kicked to the ground, and when he saw that he was really moving, he didn't dare to stay here longer in fright, so he ran away!
"Young grandma, don't you know what's wrong! You can't keep what Lord Yoshi wants! ”
The young grandmother still wanted to chase after her, but an old man next to her grabbed her: "Forget it, don't bother with this kind of person." ”
These fellows all have the attitude that more is better than less, they are also for the good of the young grandmother, a woman's family, how to provoke foreigners?
Yang Xiaolin glanced at Biaozi, and Biaozi understood, and quietly followed a few brothers to the place where Nalu Er disappeared.
The surrounding villagers did not notice the movements of a few outsiders, their attention was all focused on the young grandmother, and the young grandmother also regained her composure, combed a few strands of messy hair on her head with her hands, and then turned around and entered the house.
She was still so sad, so melancholy. Her back seemed to carry countless desolations, Yang Xiaolin felt that this woman wanted to cry, but she didn't cry, she knew that it was useless to cry, or maybe her tears had dried up.
It was at this time that he shouted, "Okay, okay, the big guy is gone, don't gather here." ”
Lu Er's house is not very big, and he rarely lives here now. He was also very scared when the foreign adults entered the city, and later a Frenchman came to his small restaurant, and after eating Lu Er's dishes, he actually felt that it was very delicious, so in that day when the Beijing people suffered hardships, Lu Er was not only not harmed, but on the contrary, he reaped a lot of benefits behind those foreign adults.
Now he feels that he is a person with status, and wherever he goes, people have to shout Lu Erye. When he heard the British comprador say that he fell in love with the Zhao family's house, Lu Er volunteered without hesitation and was willing to come forward to say something.
In his opinion, this should be a very easy thing, the man of the Zhao family died, leaving a woman and a huge empty house, and he used a little means by himself, and the little widow was not obedient? But Lu Er didn't expect that Li Zheng would stand up for the Zhao family, and he really dared to beat himself!
Touching his still sore waist, Lu Er lay down on the bed: "Oh mom, those three babies are so ruthless!" I'm going to give him a little bit of a taste tomorrow. ”
Lu Er said this with great confidence, he is now helping foreigners to do things, even those officials and masters have to be polite when they see him, isn't it just a little Lizheng? Isn't it like plucking a green onion when he settles it?
When he was thinking about which yamen to find tomorrow, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was already dark at this time, and Lu Er only saw a few black shadows standing at the door, which made him a little panicked: "Who?" ”
