Chapter 159 Who cares about your braised pork
The boy pounded the rice bowl with chopsticks.

Somehow,

This heart was actually empty.

After a long while, he suddenly approached Su Jiu and poured all the braised pork into the girl's bowl, "That's all, this meat is very greasy, and I don't like it, so I'll give it to you."

Su Jiu sneered, his eyes were filled with coolness, "Who cares?"

The voice is still sweet and crisp, but the tone is particularly cold.

She put the meat back into the boy's bowl, finished a bowl of white rice by herself, didn't wash the bowl, ignored Xiao Tingchen, and went to the small study.

The boy sat alone in the autumn wind.

After a long time, he pointed at the flower hen and cursed: "It's all about you two idiots!"

The flower hen was lying in the small pit that had been dug, facing his scolding, it made two innocent "clucks and clucks".

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, I know cluck all day long! Sooner or later I will pluck your hairs and make soup!"

"Cluck! Clack!"

"Hold!"

……

Su Jiu ignored Xiao Tingchen for three whole days.

If the young man gave orders, she just followed them, but during the process, she remained silent.

This makes Uncle Xiao, who is a chatterbox, very unhappy.

During lunch, the young man in green cloth shoes sat alone at the square table in the small kitchen, while eating, he peeked at the little girl sitting on the steps outside the house.

She buried her head in her meal, as quiet as a lily.

Thinking about the news that Gu Yu reported this morning, the young man deliberately sprinkled some rice grains on the ground, and attracted the flower hen to come over and eat them.

He smiled and said: "There is still a lot of rice in the pot, eat slowly. Speaking of which, cooking chicken is also very good, without any worries. Unlike people, when they have no money, they worry about their own poverty. When they have money, they worry about it." To be robbed... is to be stored in a bank, if the owner of the bank runs away, the hard-earned money will be wasted."

Su Jiu, who had his back turned to him, was slightly stunned.

She raised her eyes, and said behind her back: "Take Baoheng Bank as an example. Although the boss is a relative of Zhizhou's family, Xu Zhizhou was originally unreliable. He was close to Zhu Zhechi. The bank opened by his relatives. Is it possible to rely on where to go?"

Suggestive words if pointed at.

Su Jiu's face was slightly frowned, and he turned his head to look at the young man.

He is peeling crabs to eat.

The little girl remembered the ten taels of silver she had kept in Baoheng Bank, and wanted to ask him what happened, but felt that it was very shameless to open the mouth.

After struggling for a while, she picked out a ball of rice with chopsticks and put it on the ground.

Taking advantage of the flower hens coming to peck the rice, she whispered to them: "Some people like to hear the story that Baoheng Bank has been open for more than two years, and it can be regarded as the number one bank in Jinling City. Why don't you rely on it?" Is it done?"

"Oh, how pitiful, the owner of Baoheng Bank owed a huge debt from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and ran away with his sister-in-law. Some people are still kept in the dark, waiting to collect interest... If you don't believe me Why don't you just go outside the bank and have a look? In this world, it's hard to be a good person!"

Su Jiu finally couldn't sit still.

She left Mingde Courtyard, left Xiao Mansion, headed north all the way, turned around three streets, and finally came to Baoheng Bank.

The resplendent and resplendent Qianzhuang still stands on the street, but the red lacquer gates are locked tightly, and a large group of people begging for money are surrounded outside.

It turns out that Baoheng Bank really collapsed...

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a loud voice:
"Folks, we have never done any evil in our daily life, but all the money we have worked so hard to save has been taken away by this hateful Baoheng Bank! Listen to me, everyone, why don't we go to court to sue this bank together, we have contracts and so on. , it is clearly stamped with the seal of the bank, logically, no one can judge us!"

Su Jiu searched for his reputation, and saw a scholar in green and brown with a patch climbed up a bamboo pole, waving at everyone with righteous indignation.

If it's not Sidushu, who else is it?

And his shouting made everyone excited, and they echoed him one after another. He led the way to the court in a mighty way.

Su Jiu was caught in the middle, and because he was worried that something might happen to Si Doku, he followed him all the way.

Who knows,

When I arrived at the yamen, I found that the gate of the court was closed, and the pushing officer refused to accept the case.

Without thinking too much, I knew that Xu Zhizhou was behind it.

Si Dushu's eyes were red, he raised his fists, and stood quietly under the autumn sun.

He looked up and looked at the plaque hanging on the courtroom.

The four characters of "clean and honest" were wiped clean.

in the sun,
But it's ironic and dirty.

The scholar in the green-brown gown with patches suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

In order to make enough money for him to attend the exam in Beijing, his mother sold all the chickens and sheep that the family had raised for many years.

He is the hope of their family and the hope of the whole village.

He also promised the young children in the village that when he was in senior high school, he would bring them to Jinling City for a meal of meat.

But now...

The boy squatted on the ground, wiping his tears vigorously.

Su Jiu watched quietly.

The head of the house was cheated of 20 taels of silver, which was the family's savings for many years and his lifelong hope.

But for those who do evil, it is just a meal.

The head of the house said that he studied to be an official, to be an honest official, and to be a good official.

It is to establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.

But now, the home country he wants to serve, is full of corrupt officials, which has cut off his future forever.

so ironic...

Su Jiu returned to Xiao's mansion in silence, only to see guests coming to Mingde courtyard.
