Concubine

Chapter 180

"Where is the child's injury?" Yang Qiuchi asked, and then continued in a deep voice: "I warn you, the child's body is still in the village, and the injury can be checked at any time. If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of suffering!"

The man kowtowed and said, "I don't dare, it seems that my forehead, chest, and thighs seem to be broken."

"Dare to admit that you have done something wrong. This is the right way. It is very clear from the location of the child's injury. The child's injury was caused by a frontal collision. You just said that the child suddenly got out of the cross road and was hit by your carriage. Now, according to what you said, the child should have been hit by your carriage from the side, how to explain this? Huh?"

The man's forehead was sweating, and his face was pale: "I recruited, I lied, I drank until five o'clock last night, and after only a short while, I drove a carriage to transport wood to the charcoal kiln, and it was already late when I set off." I was afraid that my boss would scold me, so I drove the carriage and ran away."

"But I was really sleepy on the road, and I didn't notice a child playing on the side of the road. After the carriage hit me, I woke up. I stopped the carriage and got down to see that the child had already vomited blood and seemed to be dying. I was very scared. Seeing that there was no one around, I secretly carried the child to hide in the grass on the ridge of the field, and then drove away in a carriage."

Yang Qiuchi asked Master Jin: "Is this still the boundary of Yingtian Mansion in the capital?"

"Yes," Master Jin said, "However, this case doesn't need to be handed over to Yingtian Mansion. The Taiping Mansion is not far ahead. This place is directly under the jurisdiction of Taiping Mansion, so just hand it over to them."

Yang Qiuchi ordered the man to be escorted, and the carriage to be brought along, and the old man's uncle and nephew would follow as the sufferer.

The case was quickly solved, Yang Qiuchi and others were in a happy mood, and they became interested in drinking.

A group of people drove forward for more than an hour and arrived at Taiping Mansion.

Yang Qiuchi is an official who has traveled a long distance, and can be provided with food and lodging by the post stations he passes through.The post stations in the Ming Dynasty also functioned as government guest houses. It was safe to live in a post station, and the food and accommodation conditions were relatively good.

However, it is only noon now, and it is not time to stay.Yang Qiuchi asked Nan Gongxiong to send the coachman and others who caused the accident to the Yamen of Taiping Prefecture and hand them over to them.

The old man's son was hit to death by a carriage. He did not expect to find the perpetrator so quickly. He was very grateful and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi to express his gratitude.

After finishing this matter, Yang Qiuchi and others found a big restaurant in Taipingfu City for dinner.

Nan Gongxiong sent Jin Yiwei guards to go up to the second floor to conduct a security search. No suspicious person was found. After the security was set up, Yang Qiuchi and others were asked to get off the carriage.

Yang Qiuchi got out of the carriage, and the cold wind blew in, making him shiver.The little maid, Yuechan, hurriedly put a fox fur cape on Yang Qiuchi, which was specially made by Feng Xiaoxue for Yang Qiuchi.

Yuechan helped Mrs. Bai get out of the carriage. Yang Qiuchi was about to volunteer to help Bai Sumei in the back, but Song Yuner had already taken a step to help Bai Sumei get off the carriage. At the same time, she said to Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, it's so cold outside, you should go in first." , Beware of catching a cold!"

Yang Qiuchi's conspiracy failed, and he was too embarrassed to intervene, so after a haha, he trotted into the restaurant first.

Although this restaurant is not as good as the big restaurant in Yingtian Mansion, it is still clean and elegant.Seeing the situation of Yang Qiuchi and the others, the shopkeeper of the restaurant knew that they had a lot of background, so he ran out bowing his waist to greet them personally.Welcome Yang Qiuchi and others to the private seats on the second floor.

There were not many people in the restaurant in winter, and with the addition of a few Jinyiwei guards who were like wolves with knives slung across their waists, the few diners on the second floor also hurriedly checked out and slipped away.

Yang Qiuchi was a little embarrassed, but that's fine, safety comes first on the journey.

There was a heater in the private seat, Yang Qiuchi got into the room, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood at the door pretending to be a gentleman, and welcomed Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei, who came up later, into the private seat.

After everyone sat down.Master Long is in charge of the food and daily life on this road, and ordered a fine banquet.

Yang Qiuchi called the shopkeeper over and asked, "Does this restaurant offer vegetarian banquets?"

The shopkeeper greeted her and sent her to whomever she had never seen before. Bai Sumei was dressed in a plain robe, although her hair was a bit long, but she was wearing a nun hat. The shopkeeper immediately recognized that she was a monk.Hearing Yang Qiuchi's question now, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Master, you are in the right place. Our restaurant's vegetarian banquet is a must. It is famous far and near, mainly fresh, quiet and quiet, with various designs and colors, and exquisite production ..."

"All right, all right," Yang Qiuchi interrupted his introduction with a smile, "Is there any imitation meat and vegetarian banquet, such as Luo Han Shang Su, vinegar fried eel shreds, three delicacies sea cucumber, fan noodles white jade and so on?"

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "I can't tell, sir, you are still an expert."

"Then pick the delicate ones and bring them up. Hurry up and serve the vegetarian feast first!"

"Okay!" The shopkeeper bowed and was about to go out, but Yang Qiuchi stopped him again, leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, the shopkeeper bowed and ran out in agreement.

Song Yuner looked at Yang Qiuchi suspiciously: "Brother, why did the one you ordered just now sound like a meat dish?"

"You don't know this. It's called imitation meat dishes. It's a major feature of vegetarian dishes in temples. It's mainly made of gluten. It looks exactly the same as real meat dishes. The name is also the name of meat dishes, but inside they are vegetarian dishes such as tofu and noodles. Raw material. Very realistic."

Song Yun'er wondered: "Brother, why do you even know vegetarian feast? Have you ever become a monk?"

"No," Yang Qiuchi blinked and teased her, "However, I was a great monk in my previous life."

Song Yuner gave him a supercilious look: "Not serious!"

Along the way, Yang Qiuchi and the others drank and ate meat, Bai Sumei could only drink tea, her stomach was already growling with hunger, and when she went to the restaurant, she was wondering what she would do if Yang Qiuchi only ordered meat dishes.Hearing that Yang Qiuchi ordered a table of all vegetarian seats and asked to serve first, as if she could see that she was starving, Bai Sumei felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Yang."

"You're welcome, Miss Bai, just agree on what you want to eat." Yang Qiuchi laughed.

The vegetarian feast will be served soon.

Since Beishao Village was attacked by the remaining Jianwen party last time, Nan Gongxiong knew that the remaining Jianwen party would do anything to kill Yang Qiuchi.In order to prevent the remaining Jianwen party from being poisoned, since then, Yang Qiuchi and his family have arranged for guards to supervise all the meals of Yang Qiuchi and Nan Gongxiong from purchasing to cooking. Chicken, specially used to test whether it is poisonous.

Now the whole process of making this vegetarian feast is also strictly supervised by the Jinyi guards sent by Nan Gongxiong in the kitchen and inspected by silver hairpins and live chickens. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi is very relieved and calls Bai Sumei to move his chopsticks, and asks others to follow suit Vegetarian dinner.

Although the cooking was exquisite, people like Yang Qiuchi were carnivorous animals, and this kind of vegetarian banquet really didn't whet the appetite, so it's fine to try it.

Bai Sumei ate with gusto, she hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, since she became a monk, she ate green vegetables and tofu every day, after she was arrested and imprisoned, the food was even worse, although after Ma Du took care of her, the food improved Quite a lot, firstly, I was in a bad mood and had no appetite, and secondly, after all, it was still not as delicious as the master chef in the restaurant outside.

After all, Bai Sumei was born in an official family, so she has a very picky taste. A girl like her doesn't like meat, so a vegetarian banquet is very suitable for her.Now that I have such a good vegetarian feast again, I feel grateful and my eyes are a little moist.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Yang Qiuchi asked with concern.

Bai Sumei looked at Yang Qiuchi gratefully with tears in her eyes, shook her head, and said nothing.

After Bai Sumei finished eating, the shopkeeper brought a hair-shaving master up, bowed his waist and said to Yang Qiuchi: "My lord, this is a famous knife in our Taiping Mansion, and the ancestral hair-shaving technique has been invited for you. "

Song Yuner asked in amazement: "Brother, why did you invite the barber? Do you want to shave your head and become a monk like Sister Bai?" Then he knew something was wrong. and said: "You see that sister Bai's hair has grown, and you are looking for a barber to shave her head, right?"

Yang Qiuchi nodded.Bai Sumei was even more moved, and said to Yang Qiuchi: "Young Master Yang, thank you for your trouble."

Mrs. Bai accompanied her daughter Bai Sumei to the next door to have her hair shaved. At this time, Yang Qiuchi and their banquet also came.

Since they had to go on their way after eating, everyone simply drank a little wine, and when they were full, Bai Sumei shaved her head.

Continue on your way.In the evening, I arrived at a small county town to start the tip.

Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter are exiles. According to normal circumstances, they should be sent to the county government's cell for temporary detention, and they will be asked to be taken away the next day, but now they are with Yang Qiuchi, so this arrangement will not be made.

Yang Qiuchi and others lived in the county station.A single room was arranged for Mrs. Bai, mother and daughter. Song Yuner and Xia Ping lived next to Yang Qiuchi, and Nan Gongxiong lived on the other side.The other guards, masters, and the accompanying officials from Ying Tianfu also arranged accommodation, and Nan Gongxiong arranged a guard duty.

Yang Qiuchi lives in the best luxury suite in the inn, and Yuechan, the little maid outside, lives in it so that she can serve her at any time.Yang Qiuchi lives in the inner room.

The service of the post station is very good. There is hot water and a large wooden barrel for bathing.

After dinner, weary from the journey, we went back to our rooms to rest.

The little maid, Yuechan, had prepared hot water to help Yang Qiuchi take off his clothes and take a bath, and rubbed his back and massaged him.Yang Qiuchi has gotten used to this decadent life in the old society, and he is also used to letting the little maid serve him, so he no longer blushes like before, his ears red and his heart beating wildly.
