In Siping City, blood is being shed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nanling City, which is separated by a river, is surrounded by people enjoying the snow.

Nanling City. Yingwu Street. Qingshuang House.

Qingshuangju is a restaurant.

Ah Lishu has lived in Zhongzhou for many years as a merchant, not only in terms of clothing, habits, speech and demeanor, he completely looks like a Confucian scholar in Zhongzhou, but even his appearance has been moistened by Zhongzhou's water, alcohol, food and beauty, so that he has gotten rid of the unique roughness and recklessness of the Southern Barbarians, and has become gentle and elegant.

At this moment, he was wrapped in a high-necked white fox fur that wealthy merchants in Zhongzhou often wear, holding an ancient book, chanting in a low voice, letting the snow fall and blending with the poems.

And on the red clay stove beside him, a pot of plum wine was warmed.

He drank and groaned and admired the snow.

The grace is earth-shattering.

He had been sitting in the private room by the window on the second floor of the Qingshuang Residence for two or three hours.

There was already a slight drunkenness.

Ah Lishu is a rich man, and many people like to curry favor with rich people, so when the well-informed boss of Qingshuangju got off the carriage, he personally ran out of the door to welcome him into the private room on the second floor, and beckoned the neatly dressed guys to serve wine and food.

Ah Lishu enjoyed this kind of hospitality.

Therefore, when the boss served the last dish on the tray, warmed the most mellow pot of wine, and finished the last wonderful sentence to start a new round of compliments, Ah Lishu had an extra golden ticket in his hand that was commonly used by the business tycoons who served many times more, and put it in the boss's hand.

The smile on the face of the big boss of Qingshuangju became even brighter.

He was a decent man, and decent people were usually embarrassed to blatantly accept rewards from guests, so he wiped the table with a rag, which was already light and shadowy, and wiped it, and the golden ticket on it slipped into his sleeve. He bowed deeply and said, "You use it slowly, and then I will instruct the kitchen to stew a golden carp that has just been caught from this southern water for you to use for decanting."

This kind of golden ticket was originally issued by the rich villa of the old man Fengnantian in Songyang, and it was used for the convenience of the Feng family's shops all over Zhongzhou. However, due to the strong strength and good reputation of Fujia Villa, it began to slowly circulate among customers who had business dealings with the Feng family, and even began to circulate throughout Zhongzhou. You can withdraw a full amount of gold baht and silver quills in all the money houses of the Feng family, which is convenient and easy to use.

Although the big boss of Qingshuangju covered the tightened sleeves with a towel, the corner of his eye still saw the number on it.

That's a lot more than the meal of Ah Lishu.

From now on, even if he doesn't have a single guest at the door, he can comfortably spend this winter.

He just wanted to take this golden ticket to the backyard to please his wife and see if she could ask for a little wife for the sake of this golden ticket, when an uninvited guest came to the door.

The uninvited guest is Xiao Ding.

Ding is his biggest creditor, a supplier of meat, fish, and all the fruits and vegetables.

The account is settled once a month, but the big boss has already defaulted on him for half a year under various excuses.

Xiao Ding seemed to have been waiting for him in the lobby for a long time, and when he saw him come out, he immediately sneered: "I know that you have the God of Wealth coming to the door today, looking at your expression, you should have made a lot of money." You eat meat and let me gnaw some bones, and you owe me money for the goods, and pay it back in total. ”

The big boss's face sank at first, then he smiled, took out the golden ticket from his sleeve, shook it at him, and said: "I said Xiaoding, what about your payment, I can pay you all at once, but I'm afraid that the golden ticket in my hand is too big, and you can't find it." ”

Xiao Ding seemed to be prepared, snatched the golden ticket, and looked left and right.

The boss knew his details, so he was not in a hurry at all by letting him look there.

Xiao Ding was so anxious that he sweated profusely, took out the account book from his arms, crackled and fiddled, and calculated all the accounts, then wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, reached out and took out a money bag from his arms that had not seen the original color clearly, shook it at him, and said: "Oh, what a coincidence, the money I have on me is just enough to exchange your remaining money." ”

The boss was so angry that his face was flushed, but he was helpless.

Xiao Ding fulfilled his wish, put the golden ticket in his arms, and left proudly.

If he hadn't happened to pass by the door of Qingshuangju, if he hadn't happened to see the boss of Qingshuangju greeting such a big customer with a smile on his face, and that big customer happened to give him such a large reward, God knows when the boss would settle the arrears.

He vowed never to do business with this guy again.

Thinking so, he walked to the intersection in the center of Yingcai Street, and in front of him was his small shop, but at this moment, he saw two catchers walking towards him.

The nicknames of these two catchers are "Clamping Sticks" and "Fire Tongs", and those who fall into his hands will have to shed their skin if they are not crippled for life.

Xiao Ding suddenly felt that the golden ticket in his arms that had just been begged for and had not yet been hot was about to fly.

He wanted to turn to the side alley and avoid the two of them.

However, the "clamping stick" and "fire tongs" also seemed to see him carrying a huge amount of money, pressing towards him step by step.

In the end, he was finally forced into a corner.

The "clamping stick" shook the iron chain pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and said with a cruel smile: "Xiao Ding, I heard that you sneaked into the royal enclosure of Shaochong Mountain two days ago to poach, and the yellow sheep, fat deer and roe deer were injured countless under your arrows. ”

Xiao Ding was frightened when he heard this, and knelt on the ground with a puff, begging for mercy again and again, saying that there was no such thing, and there must be rumors and slanders.

The "tongs" slapped him vigorously on the head and said viciously: "What kind of rumors and slanders? We are acting impartially and have evidence and material evidence. We'll show you when we get to the court. ”

Xiao Ding "poof" and "poof" kowtowed a string of long heads, and said loudly: "Two poor masters, I ...... I also have evidence to prove my innocence...... I...... I have written all the evidence that can prove my innocence on this piece of paper, please look at the two officials......"

As he spoke, he took out the golden ticket from his bosom and handed it over.

"Clamp Stick" and "Fire Tongs" looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.

"Clamping Stick" took the golden ticket, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a calm face: "Then let's go back and study whether your evidence is true, okay, get up, let people see it and think that we have wronged you, we are officials who act impartially, and we will commit you for slander if we tarnish our reputation." We also know that you Xiaoding has always been honest, okay, let's go to the prefect to talk to you for you. However, in the near future, it is better for you to stay at home and wait for the verdict of our family. If you are really innocent, our lord will severely punish the rumor-mongers. So, we have to keep this evidence carefully. ”

Xiao Ding nodded yes again and again.

The "clamping sticks" and "fire tongs" took the evidence back to the Yamen of Nanling Mansion to investigate the case.
