In the morning, the officer called the old bustard and said, "I will enter Beijing this time, and the silver taels I carry are limited, and there is no extra head to give to your daughter." However, I still have a lot of food on my ship, so you can ask someone to pick up a few loads to make Yun Niang's fat powder money. It's inconvenient during the day, come back at night. ”

The old bustard was fascinated for a while, and there were a lot of things about self-theft on the Caoyun guard, so he didn't have any suspicions, so he nodded happily. At night, she sent two turtles to carry the burden, and stole a load back from the grain ship, and when she went to pick up the second load, suddenly someone rang the gong and shouted: "A thief has stolen the emperor's grain, come and arrest someone." ”

Hula rushed out a group of soldiers, kicked the turtle to the ground and tied it up, and handed it over to the night watch officer along with the stolen goods.

In this way, the official army escorted the turtle to Yun Niang's house, and found a load of grain with a seal.

The officer appeared on the scene and said, "My ship is almost half empty, about one hundred and two hundred, all of which were stolen from your family, where are they hiding now?" Hurry up! ”

The old bustard was so angry that his face turned pale, knowing that he was in the middle of the plan, it was too late to say anything at this time, so he had to blindly beg for mercy.

The officer ordered someone to hang the bustard and the turtle on the boat, only Yun Niang and others were at home, and their intentions were not known, saying that they wanted to send the official tomorrow.

Yun Niang, who has no owner of the six gods, hurriedly invited the local Lijia and others, and cried to complain about the reason, and the people said: "The other party obviously means blackmail, can't you see it?" Alas! This batch of rice is said to be an emergency military ration, and even the local governments are afraid of being affected, so they all send officials to guard the wharf, not to mention the common people? All the stolen goods in your house have been found, and everyone has found them, so they must not be clean. ”

"How's that to be?" Yun Niang was anxious.

Lijia said: "The title is given, one hundred and twenty taels of grain, at least one tael and one tael, and one hundred and twenty taels of silver." You might as well go and persuade your mother, and make her confess it, so as not to alarm the government, and not only will she be punished. You have to sit in prison, and you have to pay for the money. ”

Yun Niang had no choice, so she went to the boat and told the bustard what the place had persuaded her.

The old bustard hanging under the mast grinned, couldn't bear this crime, and hurriedly said: "I can also see that since this person has evil intentions, he is expected to have no fear, we can't afford to offend, so let's just admit that we are unlucky." Only when Wang Si's money has not been deceived, take it out and give it to him. ”

Yun Niang begged someone to go into the cabin. Willing to pay the price of the rice, the officer agreed, and asked them to bring the silver first. The old bustard was scheming, worried that the silver would be too easy, and that these officers and soldiers would have another trouble, so he said: "How can there be so much cash at home? Write a ticket contract first, and when the day dawns, Zhang Luo Yinzi will send it. ”

The officer came out and said: "The national lesson of the imperial court, I'm not afraid that she won't return it if she writes it." Give her pen and paper, and you must write it clearly. ”

So the old bustard begged the local government to testify, wrote a bill in front of him, and handed it in. She and the turtle were released.

The next day, the old bustard took out one hundred and twenty taels of silver, presumably borrowed from everywhere, and handed it over to the officer. I don't want the officer to accept the money but not return the contract. Directly ordered his subordinates to start the boat, the old bustard was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, and hurriedly hired a small boat to follow all the way behind to pursue it.

The volume ship has been sailing 300 miles away. The officer let her aboard.

The old bustard was angry, but he didn't dare to vent, so he heard the officer say: "I don't give you anything, just want you to follow, now let's open the skylight and say something." This matter is not that I have the intention to deceive you, but to repay a debt for you, so that you can save yourself from turning into a donkey and a horse in the next life. ”

The old bustard was stunned and said blankly: "What kind of unjust debt?" I never do anything bad. ”

"Hugh is going to lie." The officer sneered: "You prostitutes, aren't you lying at that moment? Then the rich boy is just a deception, why do even the poor who live by their crafts be deceived like prodigal sons? He has been helping your family for four or five years, and he has not been rewarded with a penny, but he has blackly relied on his money, and concealed the responsibility of the government, so I have come up with this method to help him recover the money. Now that the original owner is on my ship, the two of you will settle the old account in person, so that you will not be unwilling to accuse me of being a thief. ”

At that moment, someone helped Wang Si out of the back cabin, and the old bustard suddenly realized, but he had to bow his head on the boat.

The officer handed over all the money to Wang Si on the one hand, and threw the ticket to the old bustard.

Wang Sizi is grateful to the officer, he is a smart man, he is worried that he will have to eat the revenge of the bustard after returning after all, he failed to marry Yun Niang, and his hometown has no worries, and begged: "The little one is willing to serve his benefactor, and beg to be brought into the Beijing Division." ”

The officer thought for a while and smiled: "You have the skills to survive, don't worry about starving to death, I'll find you a nobleman, and from now on you can feed yourself in Jinling." ”

In the study, Xu Hao listened to Wang Si's past, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time, even in Western countries where the legal system is known as the most sound, the disadvantaged group is always the disadvantaged group, after all, it is the people who enforce the law, and it takes money and time to fight a lawsuit, but people will be affected by all aspects.

This problem is too complicated, Xu Hao sent Wang Si away, only hoping that his country will always move in the right direction and can protect the legitimate rights and interests of most people.

At this time, Xu Yu came out of the inner house, and Xu Hao asked casually, "Where are you going?" ”

"Daddy!" Xu Yu stood with his hands tied and replied: "Today, when the Tianfei Temple is overlooked, I made an appointment with Xu Lian to go together. ”

"Well, go ahead." Xu Hao entered the study with his hands behind his back.

When Xu Yu walked out, he saw Xu Lian waiting for him with a smile, as if he had never been angry. Just because he was angry, Xu Yu agreed to go out with him, and then the two rushed to the outside of the city with a few small people, and gathered a few friends to go to Tianfei Temple.

The Tianfei Palace of Jinling is passed from the coastal area, the Tianfei is the Mazu of Fujian and other places, most of the people who worship Mazu are people who go to the sea, and today's festival is said to be in some coastal cities, Mazu appears on this day in early spring, the men climb the mountain and look out, and the Ryukyu subject country looks across the sea, and the 36 Han people with the surname on both sides of the strait miss each other's relatives, so according to the custom, no woman is allowed to come.

Sure enough, as soon as he got out of the city, almost all the tourists on the road were men, and Xu Yu didn't know how the festival in Jinling came about, let alone that the nature of the festival had already changed.

It turned out to be a bunch of good masculine guys who secretly hyped up the festival. Xu Yu walked and walked, and saw a group of sinful literati, holding the four treasures of the study, standing at the intersection and seeing the young man passing by, he stopped and interrogated his name.

Xu Yu, who didn't know what was going on, walked over, the eyes of several literati lit up, Hula ran over to surround him and Xu Lian in the middle, and the leading scribe asked with a smile: "Two little boys, please ask for the name of Gao?" ”

Xu Yu asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The scribe smiled: "If you can meet you, it is fate, and you will be ordered to write down the name of the young man with outstanding bearing in the lower class, so as to invite you to join our poetry club." ”

Xu Yu didn't believe it, but Xu Lian happily reported his name, and of course hid his family background.

"Let's go." Xu Yu noticed that these people were not serious, so he pulled Xu Lian and left.

Who knew that their names were coded, just like Qin Huaihe's annual evaluation of famous prostitutes, these good guys created a Nanfeng book, and when they were brought back to evaluate and determine their ranks, they could produce a list of beautiful children in Beijing.

Not only these literati, but also unscrupulous children in the circle everywhere, probably at least a thousand pairs of eyes, observing beautiful young people from all directions, some of them are responsible for estimating appearance, some are responsible for estimating age, and some are responsible for judging all aspects, everyone has some eyesight.

In the capital, it is absolutely impossible to have no eyesight, a rich second generation like Xu Yu in luxurious clothes, even if he has a beautiful woman who is against the sky, these people will lose their appreciation.

However, Xu Lian was spoiled by his parents, for fear that wealth would damage his son, so he wore plain clothes all the year round, and from time to time someone came out to pull him to pull him closely, over and over again, and it was disturbing.

Xu Yu was very depressed, and originally went out to see the lively scenery, but his companion became a monkey to be watched, and finally started to climb the mountain.

Along the way, many sons and brothers who went up the mountain with food boxes, this one wanted to pull Xu Lian to eat tea, and the other wanted to pull him to drink, Xu Yu frowned and couldn't bear it, Xu Lian was beautiful in his heart, looked at Xu Yu's face, and refused with a smile.

Xu Yu turned around by chance, only to see a young man in his early twenties, about his early twenties, very beautiful, and leisurely, unlike those who pulled and pulled, he had been walking slowly behind.

Xu Yu found that they went east, he also went east, they went west, he also went west. Even Xu Lian ran to the woods to relieve himself, he also ran over to relieve him, followed him for two hours, and did not say a word.

Xu Yu understood a little, looked at Xu Lian and shook his head slightly, and looked at the mung beans.

When going down the mountain, passing by a rugged and steep place, the moss road was slippery, Xu Lian stumbled and almost fell, the young man stretched out his hand to help him, and said, "Brother Tai be careful." ”

While supporting Xu Lian, he gently scratched Xu Lian's palm, like itching.

Xu Lian's face was red and white, white and red, probably because he was frightened, and red was blushing, and he showed such a pitiful softness for a moment, and said to others: "If it weren't for the brothers helping each other, I almost rolled down the mountain, may I ask the honorable name?" ”

The man smiled: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Ji Fang." ”

"Could it be Xu Jifang, a famous person in Jinling? Disrespectful and disrespectful. Xu Lian looked very happy.

Xu Yu, who was walking in front, secretly said that there seems to be such a celebrity, what else can't you understand about this scene? If Xu Lian is replaced with Miss Qianjin, and he will get rid of the drama of a talented and beautiful woman, of course, in the eyes of these people, Xu Lian is a hundred times better looking than Miss Beauty.

Because he is a younger brother, it is not easy to interfere. Seeing that Xu Lian had already walked side by side with Xu Jifang, they each said where they lived, made an appointment to visit another day, and did not say goodbye until they entered the back of the city.

At this time, Xu Yu said: "Are you planning to get along with him?" ”

Xu Lian said with a smile: "People have a feeling for me to help the needy, and they pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but it is difficult to follow him all the way." Don't talk about affection, even the appearance is rare, I think you and my brother are not good, I have seen thousands of people today, how can there ever be a stronger than him? ”

"Unreasonable!" Xu Yu was speechless.

Xu Lian smiled: "You misunderstood, I just treat me as a good friend, of course, among these friends, unless it is him, I can make a promise." ”

Pledge in person? Xu Yu suddenly shivered, and the cold hit. (To be continued......)
