Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 529 Where can I find a little light in this world

In Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo, beside the Cai River, Zhao Pu's footsteps were a little staggering, and the string of money hanging around his waist made him feel extremely heavy.

This heaviness is not physical, but psychological.

After discovering Zhen Baoer's gold medal, Zhao Pu found a large number of gold and silver ornaments in Jiasanku.

These were all obviously looted. Although the big and small shopkeepers present did not speak, they knew in their hearts where these gold and silver ornaments came from.

This extra is always a little more than ICBC, which is the reward silver that Daxiangguo Temple sealed their mouths.

As soon as he walked to the door of the house, Zhao Pu's younger brother, Zhao Anyi, jumped over happily, and when he saw the string of money around Zhao Pu's waist, he let out an exclamation of satisfaction.

The sick lady, Wei Shi, was also leaning against the door and looking forward, seeing Zhao Pu's safe return, with a gentle smile on her face.

Tingting is fifteen years old, and her sister-in-law, who is beautiful in cloth skirts and hairpins, is also hugging his infant son, very happy.

Although Zhao Pu was very heavy in his heart, he still had a happy smile on his face when he saw his relatives.

He took over his son from his sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law and his wife naturally accompanied him to the house.

The younger brother Zhao Anyi, who is out of character, got his orders and was going to buy some refined white flour, mutton, chicken and so on.

"Big brother, I want to eat a bowl of sugar mung bean licorice snow."

The fifteen-year-old sister-in-law was the most eloquent. Seeing that her brother-in-law had been rewarded with a lot of money, she immediately grabbed Zhao Pu's arm and started acting like a baby.

"Haha! Good! Buy it! Buy a big bowl!" Zhao Pu shouted to his younger brother Zhao Anyi in a good mood.

Um!There is probably no brother-in-law who can resist the youthful and beautiful sister-in-law acting like a baby, unless he is abnormal.

The upright adolescent brother Zhao Anyi curled his lips and muttered.

"A bowl of sugar, mung bean and licorice snow costs several pennies, which can buy half a sheep's head."

At this time in Tokyo, the price of sugar was very high due to the monopoly of the imperial court. For the price of selling such a large bowl of sugar water, ordinary people can eat a meal for the whole family with a little savings.

"What are you muttering about! How short is your food? Go and cut up a whole batch of sheep's head, and then buy some ready-made pig and badger meat, and bring Sijiao wine, you and my brother will have a drink later!"

Zhao Puke was not so gentle with his younger brother who was in the rebellious period, and he just scolded him immediately.

But Zhao Anyi didn't care, the batch-cut sheep's head was thinly sliced ​​lamb's head meat, which was his favorite. Although the pig and badger meat was a bit cheap, it was plentiful.

Sijiao wine is about two catties of later generations, enough for the two brothers to have a good meal.

. . . .

This meal was the best meal Zhao Pu’s family had in the past few years. In less than ten years, as the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo suffered three city demolition, and most people were struggling to survive. .

Zhao Pu's wife probably has some lung problems. Although she is not tuberculosis, her health has not been very good.

She watched Zhao Pu keep picking up vegetables for her younger sister, and she didn't have any dissatisfaction on her face, but was very relieved.

Because since she gave birth, her health has gotten worse. Not to mention cleaning up the housework, it is considered good not to be served by others. Even fulfilling the responsibilities of a wife is not humane.

She knows her own body, Zhao's wife knows that she will not live long, and the only thing she can't let go of is her husband and son.

If after leaving, she can let her husband marry her younger sister as a continuation, then she has nothing to worry about.

Although it was low-alcohol fruit and rice wine, Zhao Anyi still drank a little too much. He staggered a few steps, and finally fell to the ground and fell asleep immediately. Zhao Pu was also a little drunk.

At this moment, my sister-in-law Wei brought out his sugar, mung bean and licorice snow, but she didn't drink it right away, but put her hands together and recited the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra first.

"What is Mei Niang doing while reciting sutras to a bowl of mung bean soup? Could it be that you also drank too much wine?"

Zhao Pu was lying on a recline, looking at his sister-in-law with a flushed face, he felt like a kitten was scratching in his heart.

The sister-in-law, who didn't want to raise her head again, had tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhao Pu like pear blossoms and replied.

"This sugar, mung bean and licorice snow is my sister Zhou's favorite soup. In the past few years, my sister has often invited my slaves to eat. I thought that I could invite it back sometime, but I don't want to see it again!"

After finishing speaking, my sister-in-law Wei threw herself on the table and began to cry.

Zhao Pu's whole body went numb, and he woke up after drinking. The bloody gold medal with the words "Zhen Bao'er" engraved on that side kept circling in his mind.

Thinking back to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra that his sister-in-law had just recited, Zhao Pu felt so bored in his heart that he wished he could rush out and yell to vent his anger.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door, Zhao's wife lost all color on her face, and her sister-in-law also showed a look of fear.

"Mei Niang, go out the back door quickly, that prodigal son is here again!"

"How dare you, thief! Go all out today, and let this thief eat me!"

Before Zhao Pu could speak, his younger brother Zhao Anyi, who was obviously drunk and sleeping on the bed, suddenly jumped up, and he didn't know when there was an extra stick in his hand.

Zhao's wife couldn't stop her, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, and said to Zhao Pu while crying.

"During the past few days when Mr. Lang left for work, Meiniang was attracted by a prodigal dude, who would come to harass her almost every day."

The wife's cry woke up the sleeping child again, and the baby in swaddling also began to cry loudly. My sister-in-law, Mei Niang, leaned against the corner stupidly, her snow-white face full of panic.

Zhen Baoer who was snatched away like a kitten, the neighbor's servant whose neck was cut off, and the bloody gold medal, all these scenes rolled in Zhao Pu's mind.

If you don't want to hide from the Khitan people, you still can't hide from the Hexi people!
At this moment, Zhao Pu, who had been worn away by life, had reached the extreme of anger and fear, and he yelled.

"A man can't protect his wife and children while alive. The world is as black as ink and there is no light at all. What's the use of leaving this body?"

Suddenly, he also lifted a whistle stick in the corner and rushed out.

However, Zhao Pu who rushed out of the room was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Different from the dandy with servants and thugs he imagined, a group of ordinary people stood in the yard of his house.

Some looked like grooms, clerks and clerks, but they deliberately opened their skirts to reveal the brocade clothes inside.

A name crashed into Zhao Pu's mind like a storm.

Brocade Messenger!
"Hahaha! You little boy, a certain family told you the day before yesterday that you didn't practice the stick technique properly. If you still don't believe me, look at you!"

The most speechless scene appeared, a man who looked like Shangguan, an envoy in brocade, was fighting his younger brother Zhao Anyi with a whistle stick.

After a while, he knocked out the whistle stick in Zhao Anyi's hand, and then the man jumped up and beat him with the stick, making Zhao Anyi howl like a ghost.

Zhao Pu grinned, but he didn't go up to stop him, because he could tell that the Shangguan had kept his hand.

The sticks went all the way to the buttocks and other fleshy places. Although the beating made Zhao Anyi scream, it didn't actually cause any serious injuries.

Zhang Lieming had a good fight. In terms of force, he was the five scum inside the Zhang family. Anyone could abuse him. It would be his turn to abuse vegetables. It was like a tiger descending a mountain.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Lieming still didn't intend to stop, Zhao Pu could only wave his stick, and let out a stern shout.

"The emperor broke three arrows at Xinzheng Gate and made three contracts with the people of Tokyo. The officials are the emperor's minions, so you know the laws are strict?"

Zhang Lieming immediately withdrew his whistle stick when he heard the words, he looked at Zhao Pu meanly and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, you man, but now your young man wants to rush out to harass a certain family. The certain family does not bully others in the slightest. If you really want to commit murder, can there still be living people in your family?"

Before Zhang Lieming could finish his sentence, there was a squeak, and a little lady in a cloth skirt with Jingchai rushed out from the house. She knelt on the ground with a plop. It was Zhao Pu's sister-in-law, Wei Shi.

Wei took a deep look at Zhao Pu, then at Zhang Liecheng, with a look of determination on his face.

"Please let the officials spare my brother, I am willing to go with you!"

When Zhao Pu heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, and a look of extreme pain suddenly appeared on his face.

Zhang Lieming looked at the pair of brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and smacked his lips twice, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Who do you think Yeye is? Yeye is the nephew of the emperor, and he is the son of the Zhang family in Shazhou. How could he do such a thing of robbing the women of the people?
Yeye has never been short of women. You just have a skin, and you want to come into my house just because you think of others. Are you dreaming? "

When he said this, Zhao Pu's family was stunned. This dude didn't come for the beautiful Wei family, but for whom?
Zhang Lieming snorted coldly, then lowered his voice, "This Zhao Dalang, do you really have nothing to say to a certain family?"

As he said that, Zhang Lieming opened his clothes a little more, and deliberately displayed the brocade clothes he was wearing inside for a tactical display.

Zhao Pu's mouth opened slightly. He had been thinking about protecting his sister-in-law Wei Shi, but he hadn't thought about the identity of the opposite party at all.

Thinking about it now, what does the envoy in brocade clothes do?Isn't it just to investigate evil?

After a few moments of fighting between heaven and man in his mind, Zhao Pu quickly made a choice. Today's Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo has no power, so how can he protect his wife, children and family?
"Servant! Changshan Zhao Pu, there is a serious matter to report! Willing to serve the officials!"

Zhang Lieming chuckled, and he walked up to Zhao Pu who bowed to him to the end.

"Let's talk about it first. If you want to work for the envoy in Jinyi, it's not just ordinary credit."

What Zhang Lieming said was right, the assessment of a yamen like Jinyi Envoy is not as strict as usual, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to get in.

But when Zhao Pu broke his heart and said the matter, Zhang Lieming's eyes were straightened, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"Damn! This monk in Tokyo is more ruthless than those murderous monks in Shanzhou! Follow someone quickly."

After telling all the secrets, Zhao Pu, who suddenly felt much more relaxed, asked subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Lieming patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder, "You are a farmer, you are very lucky. You can go to see the commander with a certain person. You may even meet the emperor."

Meet the emperor!Zhao Pu, who had been suffering from his lack of power, suddenly became a little dizzy, as if he had stepped on cotton.

Zhang Lieming didn't care about Zhao Pu's appearance, let alone ordinary people, he was nervous when he saw Zhang Zhao.

"Children, this little lady is really strong, let's go! Take it back to a certain family."

The brocade-clothed envoys also deliberately laughed loudly, "Congratulations to the officials for finding a beautiful woman! Let's snatch them back and send them to the officials' room."
