Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 541
"Is the elder brother's illness still not improving?"

In a courtyard in the northern city of the capital, Chai Fulin asked Shuangxi worriedly. Shuangxi nodded, lowered his head and said:
"The uncle forced himself to eat more every day, but his body still lost weight, and the amount of ointment he ate every day was getting bigger and bigger. The uncle said, let the second and third masters worry about those things, he Keep your energy and guard inside the palace, and let the second and third masters take care of you outside."

Chai Fulin sighed and said in a muffled voice:

"I'd like to ask you to take care of it more. Your child will be a steady scholar next year. It's almost the same if you give enough money to take care of him."

Hearing what Chai Fulin said, a trace of excitement appeared on Shuangxi's face. He bent down, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, got up and wiped the corners of his eyes. Chai Fulin opened a wooden box on the table sideways, and took out a palm-sized He handed the silver box to Shuangxi, and said:
"This is an ointment from Nanyang. It can last for two months. You can pick it up later!"

Shuangxi took the box, bowed and said:
"Time is tight. The younger one will go back to the palace. The uncle asked the younger one to tell the second and third masters to think more about things and be careful."

Speaking of this, Chai Fulin was a little irritable, waved his hand and said:
"Got it, got it, I'm also in my early forties, my elder brother always thinks I'm a child."

When Shuangxi went out there, Chai Fulin was bored in the room for a while, then called a few men in charge and dressed up, and said:
"Today is the time to send money for food. Master, I am not feeling well. You guys go there once. After the money is paid everywhere, you can go by yourself!"

The few people who were called here bowed and obeyed orders, but when they went out, they were stopped by Chai Fulin, who warned again in a rough voice:
"Don't skimp, master, I will check the accounts, whoever dares to do anything, master, I will skin him."

These men each bowed with a smile, and said:
"Master, don't worry, the little ones know the pros and cons!"

After a few steps out of the house, Chai Fulin's long follower trotted out, and shouted at the footman in the yard:

"Hurry up and prepare the carriages and horses. The master is going to the other courtyard. Xiao Wu, you go to the other courtyard and talk to Miss Yu first, so that you can make preparations there."

The men who took over the errand exchanged glances with each other without saying a word, and only when they went out to the yard did one wink and say:

"Miss Jade from Baoding Mansion, tsk tsk, I heard that the flesh all over your body is like white jade. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is charming to your bones..."

"The master wants to redeem himself, but the yard is still not sold. In the end, he bought the yard for 1000 taels of silver. No, after buying it, he will be tired of living there."

"According to past habits, this time I won't come back for a few days!"

"I heard that every time I'm unhappy, I get drunk over there and have fun for a few days..."

Speaking of this, everyone stopped talking, looked at each other again, and went to the inner tent to withdraw the money. Chai Fulin also ordered to come over there. When the money was taken out, two people in the inner tent returned He babbled over there, "I have no income, and I do good deeds with those people who are neither human nor ghost all day long. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they will be corrupted."

After taking the money, they went out separately, and after walking a street, there were those close friends who got together, looked at each other, and laughed, and one of them said:
"On weekdays, the master would follow along to see it, but today we didn't think about it, but let us go by ourselves."

"This master doesn't like trivial things. When you are about to leave, brother, I will advise you to wait. Don't you think this opportunity will come!?"

"It's still the elder brother who sees the matter and understands, how much money will be deducted!?"

"How much is still deducted, naturally swallow it all."

"Is it not very good, what should I do if the master asks?"

"Let's talk about it, those people who are not as good as pigs and dogs, whoever believes what they say, go to Nancheng to drink."

"...Just listen to the big brother, hehe, the master is playing with Jade Lady, it is good for us to find a few girls from Yangzhou, Datong, and let's have a good time for a few days..."

*************
There are several places around the capital, the local aborigines don't go there, and even tell their relatives and children not to go there, even so, Shuntian Mansion often receives cases from these places.

It was nothing more than merchants from other places who came to the capital and went there without knowing the ins and outs, and they suffered disaster.

On the west side of Nancheng, there is a big lake called Baicaohai. There are few people on the Baicaohai, but there is a Jiuxuan Niangniang Temple. The temple has been dilapidated for a long time. This is one of the places where the locals of the capital dare not come. , is also one of the places where Shuntian Mansion receives the most cases, and it is also the most troublesome place.

Although this place is desolate, it is not uninhabited. There is a thatched hut around the dilapidated temple, and many people are wandering around. Looking carefully at the descriptions of these people, they are not so naked, but they are almost the same. .

The people here are all men, but there are not a few bearded ones, all of them are pale, and their speech and actions are different from ordinary men.

If a person who doesn't know the details comes here, he thinks that he has entered a ghost town, and he must be creepy, but the locals know that this is the gathering place of Wumingbai.

People who were eunuchs who were eunuchs but did not enter the palace for various reasons gathered here. It was a great crime to exterminate the genocide if the eunuchs were not hired by the royal family. Eunuchs were also discriminated against and disabled. They had no livelihood and no way out. Their lives were miserable.

Some eunuchs in the palace are quite nostalgic, and they often send people to help their servants, but there are too many monks, and not everyone has such kindness. After more people enter the palace, they will make a clear connection with this side as soon as possible. , There are several eunuchs in the palace who have status and status to leave the palace, and who are capable of sending people to help.

It was the beginning of May, and the weather in the capital was rather warm. A few servants of Chai Fulin in the capital were thinking about withholding their money to make fun of themselves, while the nameless people around the Jiuxuan Niangniang Temple outside the city squatted around and looked around.

A young scholar came here on horseback, followed by two attendants on donkeys. The nameless men all stood up and immediately surrounded him.

The young scholar originally saw a big moor here, and wanted to comment on it and see the scenery, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by a group of ragged people, all of them stretched out their hands to beg. These people were not ghosts or ghosts, and the ragged people surrounded them, almost falling off their horses in fright.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the two attendants behind him immediately yelled and rushed forward.

Although the Wumingbai people looked pitiful and begged for mercy as soon as they were driven away, they didn't disperse at all, and more and more people gathered. At first, they just surrounded the scholar, and later even the two followers were grouped together. surrounded.

Originally, the scholar was also yelling loudly, and even raised his horsewhip to beat him, but more and more Wumingbai came over. Hearing the shrill voice and looking at the yin and yang faces, as if surrounded by ghosts, the number gradually increased , this scholar was also a little timid, so he took out a handful of copper coins and threw them down.

I thought that the people below would disperse if I got money, but I didn't expect these people to gather more, shouting thanks, but they still kept going.

If there is one, there will be two. Throwing the copper coins down, more and more people will not disperse at all, and only silver is left in their hands. He wanted to rush away from this place regardless of his horse, but he didn't expect that even the reins were pulled by the people below.

He got closer and closer, without waiting for him to take out the money, someone directly reached out to grab his skin, and the two followers behind were in a hurry, shouting loudly there.

But seeing that there were so many people on the other side, they just kept yelling to find the government and didn't dare to make a move, but the actions of the unknown whites started to fight, and they stretched out their hands to pull people. Only then did the scholar and his entourage know that it was not good, and wanted to It was too late to pull out the weapon that was with him.

The unknown whites swarmed up, dragged the man down and knocked him unconscious, looted all his belongings, and threw the three unconscious men outside.

*************
"Damn, it looks bright, but I didn't expect it to be such a poor man, with a total of less than 200 taels, Chen Pi, you arrange a few young people to buy some wine and meat back, and then arrange for someone to sell the horse. Find someone Watch, don't let them steal money in private!"

In the Jiuxuan Empress Temple, some burly Wumingbai gathered together, one of the most burly said in a rough voice, and the few around him laughed and said:

"Fat Sheep finally came here, I must eat and drink happily today, the relief over there has not been delivered in half a month, and let people live!"

The head of the strong Wuming gave a bah, and said:
"Those who make up the palace always pick those who are honest and honest, but they have no money and food outside. How do you live in this day?"

"Hey, I used to enjoy eating a rotten pancake for a few days, but now I can't swallow the whole grain steamed buns..."

"Why do you say such unlucky words? We are in such a situation. If we are rich, we can't be happy. How can we just suffer and die like this?"

Someone spoke, but was scolded back by the strong leader, and someone beside him said:
"Brother, today's work is at most 300 taels, and everyone can't eat it for a few days. Now that the people inside and outside the city are all smart, who dares to come here."

The burly leader's face was gloomy for a while, and finally he slapped his thigh fiercely, and said viciously:

"For those who didn't come to the door, let's go out to do business, dig out those belongings, and put them in our hands. It's also courageous. Others can do it, why can't we do it!!"

*************
"Zhang Banban, I'm confused by the place names mentioned in Wang Tong's memorial. Go to the Yumajian and send someone who knows the soldiers to come and explain it!"

Emperor Wanli looked at a map carefully, but he obviously didn't understand it. Zhang Cheng bowed beside him and said:
"Long Live Lord, go to the Yuma Supervisor to ask someone to inquire. If you are not sure, there will be a lot of rumors. It is not convenient to mention it there...not to mention that you have to transfer from the south. From the perspective of slaves, Tianjin Wei is now a gold mine. The place where flowers and silver are collected should not be ignored, what Wang Tong played is also appropriate..."

Emperor Wanli clapped his hands, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong is different from others. He enjoys being rich and not enjoying it, but he thinks about running around all day long."
