Chapter 80: Ascension (3rd Shift)
When Dong Hu heard Liu Yuanwai asked, he took the initiative to answer: "It is indeed Liu Yuanwai's gambling house." ”
Xu An frowned, "Liu Yuanwai is in the gambling house business?"
"There are green houses, gambling houses, restaurants, and pawnshops, but this gambling house business is the best. Dong Hu added.
is also a business talent, Xu An sighed, if you don't care about Liu Yuanwai's virtues, it is such a business acumen, even if you travel to modern society, you will definitely be able to make a career.
This is no longer an ordinary company, but a group, with a wide range of involvement.
He pondered for a moment, then returned to the subject.
"Su San, when did your father become addicted to gambling?"
"Since last month, I just disappeared for two or three hours at noon, and then there was no one for most of the day, and then I lived directly in the gambling house for a long time, and when I came back, I was always in a trance. Su San replied.
"Presumably it was at that time that I started to get into gambling, and I guess I have to ask the person concerned, let's go back now, they should all arrive." Xu An stood up, said hello to the old man, and led people out.
......
At the entrance of the Yamen Hall, at this moment, the three floors inside and the outer three floors are full of people.
A well-toned middle-aged man with a folding fan in his hand sat on a chair in the center, squinting slightly and looking leisurely.
Beside him, kneeling was a down-and-out middle-aged man, but he looked like he was in his fifties.
This is Su San's father, Su Qing.
"Master Liu, drink tea. ”
Qi Yukuai held a cup of hot tea in his hand and handed it to the middle-aged man, the faint fragrance of tea wafted out from the gap in the tea lid, Liu Yuanwai moved his nose and opened his eyes.
His appearance looks very kind, and at first sight, he gives people an extremely kind feeling.
"I heard that it's a new prefectural order. Liu Yuanwai flipped over the tea lid, took a sip, chewed in his mouth for a while, turned his head, and spit out the tea leaves on Su Qing with a sip.
Su Qing trembled and didn't dare to speak.
Qi Zhu hurriedly replied, "It's a very young boy, and there is a very beautiful woman next to him." ”
Liu Yuanwai's eyes lit up, and he handed the tea to his nose, "The fragrance of tea is not the fragrance of beauty." ”
"It's just a teenage hairy boy, just scare you like this?" The officials of the Liu Mansion on the side scolded those ruffians.
Qi Zhukuai's face twitched, knowing that he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.
"Master Liu, that person's cultivation is very high, and Dong Hu is not his opponent at all. ”
When Liu Yuanwai heard this, he finally sat up from the Taishi's chair, "What does the emperor think of a very high cultivation and going to this remote place to make a county order?"
If it is an ordinary place, when you hear such words, you will definitely be slapped, and it is not too much to destroy the nine clans with the words of a rebellious deception.
But in this down-and-out county, Liu Yuanwai is one of the few earth emperors on the bright side, and no one dares to speak out.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then he looked at Su Qing, who was trembling on the side, "Old man, will you know how to do it later?"
Su Qing knelt on the ground and nodded hurriedly.
Liu Yuanwai smiled at this time, like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Your Excellency is here. Someone reminded the crowd to get out of the way.
Xu An stepped in, and saw one person lying on the ground in the lobby with a low posture, while the other person sat in the Taishi chair, leisurely.
"Meet your lordship. Su Qing turned around and bowed to Xu An.
Su San hurriedly stepped forward and helped Su Qing up, "Dad, how did you become the way you are now?"
She cherished in her eyes, although Su Qing sold her, but in her eyes, Su Qing was still her father, and she had to fulfill her daughter's filial piety.
Su Qing pushed Su San to the ground, "You are an unfilial daughter, my father asked you to be Liu Yuanwai's concubine, this is something that many people dream of, why did you run away?"
Su San had tears in his eyes, and he wanted to speak, but he had nothing to say.
Xu An walked to Su San's side silently and helped her up, "Let's catch quickly, let's go to the court." ”
"Ascension!" Qi Yu reacted quickly and immediately set up a position.
Xu An is decently above the high hall, although this is a different world, but it is also the same as the ancient nine-grade official system, and the style of the yamen is not the same.
"Liu Yuanwai, why don't you kneel?" Xu An slapped the shocked wood and shouted.
Liu Yuanwai opened his eyes lazily and glanced at Xu An lightly, "My lord, do you know what is called people's heart?"
Before Xu An could speak, the people at the entrance of the hall were suddenly excited.
"Liu Yuanwai is our food and clothing parents, he doesn't have to kneel!"
"Why did the adults wronged Liu Yuanwai?"
"Adults are young, don't be bewitched by demons, Liu Yuanwai is a good person!"
"Liu Yuanwai distributed food to us on weekdays, and also sent people to help our family repair the house, and also sent pork during the New Year's holidays, how could he break the law by such a good person? It must be Su Qing's old man who slandered him, and the adults are aware of it!"
......
"Silence!" Qi Yu shouted quickly, and suddenly the entire yamen fell silent.
Seeing this, Xu An's mind moved slightly.
Just a question, it attracted the help of so many people, and this Liu Yuanwai really has some means.
He saw this Liu Yuanwai lying in the sun at the entrance of the hall, looking more relaxed than anyone else, and he was extremely calm and calm.
"Liu Yuanwai really won the hearts of the people. Xu An sighed.
Liu Yuanwai was noncommittal and shook the folding fan, obviously agreeing with this point of view.
However, Liu Yuanwai's posture has lost the word respect. ”
"The people love you, but you are so lazy, just basking in the sun here, with an arrogant attitude, thinking that you are leisurely, but you really disrespect the people. ”
Liu Yuanwai got up from the Taishi chair, put away the folding fan, and faced Xu An, "My lord is so powerful." ”
Xu An raised his eyebrows, ignored it, and shouted angrily.
"I am the county magistrate of Luoluo County, although I am only a nine-rank official, but in this Luoluo County, I am the biggest. If you don't kneel to me, you don't respect me, you are rude, you have no rules, and you don't obey me. If the people ignore the law, they are deceiving the Holy One, and they will be arbitrated, and the Holy One appoints me as an official, and if you disobey me, it is equivalent to disobeying the Holy One, and you say that if I want to behead you all over the house now, will I dare?!"
When Liu Yuanwai heard this, his eyes were gloomy, but after a while, he suddenly smiled and knelt down directly.
"The villain is joking with the adult, please don't be surprised. ”
Xu An saw that the fierceness in his eyes was vague, and he didn't break it, "This is the yamen, and I also ask Liu Yuanwai to put away his funny talents and be more serious." ”
The smile on Liu Yuanwai's face immediately froze, originally harmless to humans and animals like Maitreya Buddha, but at this moment it looked a little terrifying and hideous.
Xu An looked at Su Qing, "You sold your daughter to him for her happiness?"
Su Qing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my lord." ”
"I think you're doing it for your own happiness, right?" Xu An asked.
The adult laughed. Su Qing pointed at himself and said with a wry smile, "What happiness is there in the appearance of Lao Er?"
"Then why didn't you discuss it with your daughter in advance, and you sent your daughter out without even saying a word, do you think you deserve to say the word happiness?!" Xu An was furious.
