Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 20 Scapegoat

So, the woman used the key to open two doors and walked out quietly.

When I walked to the woodshed, I didn't forget to put a large piece of lamb tenderloin hidden in the corner into a basket.

After returning, he said eagerly: "Da Lang! Quickly give me some more taels of silver. The old bitch Tan saw that the mutton was selling so well, so she raised the price on the ground!"

Wu Dalang, who was resting inside, heard what she said, so he said, "It's too expensive, so I won't buy it."

The woman was anxious, and said: "How can you make it if you don't buy it? If you don't buy it, the slave family wants to eat it again in the future. Should I cut a piece from you?"

Wu Dalang could barely make ends meet by selling cooking cakes every day, so he regarded money as more important than his life.

But this woman always said exactly what she said, and he didn't dare to disobey her.

Although he was shy in his pocket, he still took out a large ingot of silver and gave it to her.

The woman took the silver and put the big piece of lamb tenderloin in the basket on the chopping board.

Seeing that the scene was almost set, I felt itchy in my heart, and immediately rushed out with the wind at my feet.

Without listening to what Wu Dalang said, he just followed the original path back to the side room without anyone noticing.

When she came back, she was panting from exhaustion.

"It's so exciting! It's such a beautiful day to have food and drink, no need to worry about money, and the slave family's big baby to accompany you!"

She sat next to Earl Ying covered in dust and said with a trembling smile.

Earl Ying helped her refill the stove and asked her, "Why are you so tired? Your home is not far from here."

The woman wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "How can we not be far away? You came back directly as a slave?"

"On the way back, the Nu family was afraid that the short-lived dog would notice it, so they made two big circles around the house!"

After these few times, Earl Ying has a general understanding of Zishi Street.

Make two large circles around Wu Dalang's house, which is at least four miles.Not an easy task.

Earl Ying immediately squeezed the woman's shoulders and patted her back, and served her well from the bottom of his heart.

This woman tried her best and tried her best, but it was just to satisfy Earl Ying.

This woman saw that Earl Ying had been so helpful for two nights in a row, and he was not treating her very well.

I like Earl Ying very much.

Thinking about it, it is acceptable to die several times for Earl Ying.

"If you don't have three taels, there are still two taels. In addition, the slave family got it from that short-lived bitch earlier. It won't be a problem to buy you two expensive new clothes."

The woman put the ingot of silver in Earl Ying's hand and was extremely happy.

He leaned into Earl Ying's arms with his legs crossed, saying "my beloved husband".

Earl Ying just thought: As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall, everything will eventually be exposed.

Wu Dalang discovered that she was having an affair with Lao Tzu, which was one of them, and Lao Tzu's pet peeve discovered that I was penniless.

So Earl Ying told her the strategy he had thought of temporarily.

"No matter how flawless it is, Wuhan University will definitely find out about the two of us sooner or later."

"Didn't you say that Mrs. Wang just came to find you today? Why don't we try to revive the corpse and make Ximen Qing my scapegoat?"

"Then I deliberately let Wu Dalang find out that Ximen Qing coveted you and wanted to get you. By the way, Wu Dalang's hatred was transferred to Ximen Qing."

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and her mind went blank for a moment.

He asked in a daze: "It sounds good, but how to do this specifically?"

"Let...let my husband find out that Ximen Qing covets me? Want to get me?"

Earl Ying nodded sincerely at her, put the quilt over their heads, and whispered softly, telling her all about the next plan.The more she heard about it, the more wonderful she felt.

In addition, Earl Ying is smart and smart, and thinks things through without leakage, so this whole plan sounds very safe and secure.

It's almost impossible to fail.

The two of them exchanged words with each other for about half an hour.

After arriving, the woman asked: "Everything else is fine, but if you want to make an appointment with me at Guangyang Tower, is it a bit too abrupt? It seems like it's a matter of time and again!"

Earl Ying shook his head and said: "No. When I invited Wu Dalang to Guangyang Tower, I was actually negotiating with him in the name of someone else."

"At that time, I will give him a sum of money. If he agrees and lets you go, then everyone will be happy. For your sake, I won't treat him badly in the future."

"Of course, with you alone, it's probably impossible for him to agree. But in this way, at least I have conveyed a message, that is, someone in Qinghe County wants to get you."

"When the time comes, I will use this trick to revive the dead and make Ximen Qing my scapegoat, so I can play even more flawlessly."

The woman suddenly understood and clapped her hands and praised: "My dear husband, you are so smart! It is a blessing to have you in my family for ten lifetimes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Earl Ying lifted her chin and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are smart or not, anyway, I was "killed" by you and I was about to raise my hand and surrender?"

The woman's thoughts were instantly separated from this plan.

Squatting in front of the stove, he picked up a large pile of dry firewood and stuffed it all in at once.

Then he took off his shoes and threw them aside.

Slowly walked towards Earl Ying.

She smiled weakly, and said: "It is true that husbands and wives follow suit, but in the future you will have to listen to the slave family in everything. It is not in vain that the slave family gave themselves to you vigorously!"

There are only two hours left before dawn.

This woman plunged headlong into Earl Ying's gentle country and couldn't extricate herself.

There are beautiful buildings and jade buildings in heaven and earth. Count Ying told the woman to climb to the top among the colorful clouds, so he climbed to the top.

At noon the next day, the woman was sitting alone in her home, lost in thought.

She was always waiting for Earl Ying to come home and tell her the latest news.

Earl Ying took the money that Wu Dalang bought the woman's mutton last night and opened a pavilion in Guangyang Tower, one of the best in Qinghe County.

After casually ordering two dishes and two bottles of wine, he invited Wu Dalang in who was selling cooking cakes on the street.

Several days passed, and this was the first time that Earl Ying met Wu Dalang.

Seeing that this guy doesn't look human at all, is Pan Jinlian marrying him more than just a flower stuck on cow dung?
It's like a flower stuck in a manure pit!

While pouring wine for him with a smile on his face, he thought to himself: Damn, I have a very good heart.

But it's really disgusting to eat in the same pot and sleep in the same bed with this guy every day!

You have to wash and disinfect her properly later!

Don't infect me with the bacteria from Wu Dalang's body!

"What's the point of being a high official? But it doesn't matter. I feel uncomfortable in this magnificent place."

Wu Dalang took the wine and said cautiously and fearfully.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing things for others. I can't be called a high official."

Earl Ying smiled politely and said: "There is a rich man in Qinghe County who has taken a fancy to your wife. It is not convenient for him to come out to talk to you in person."

"He specially appointed me to tell you about this on his behalf."

As he spoke, he took out an embroidered package the size of a girl's bellyband from behind and placed it on the table.
