Chapter 17 Blackmail (4)

Back in the courtyard, Li Xiaozu greeted him as soon as he entered the door and said with concern: "Aniang didn't lose her temper with you, did she?"

"No, she has no time to lose her temper with me!" Zhou's mood was good, and Li Xiaozu heaved a sigh of relief.The two ate, packed up and lay down, Zhou stretched her feet in Li Xiaozu's arms coquettishly and asked him to rub them, talking and laughing about today's affairs in the conference hall: "... Fifth sister is amazing One sentence blocked the second wife back, you said, an offering by her side is worth so much money, we will later." Zhou's voice was soft and soft: "Oh, look, if Now that I have a girl, I’m afraid I can’t even hire a piano teacher, just like this, A Niang keeps telling me to use the dowry money to supplement the family.”

Li Xiaozu paused his hands, embarrassment flashed across his face, Zhou moved his feet, put his hands on his neck and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to give up money to support the family, money is nothing, but in this house It’s not just our family. Who knows who will get the money to subsidize it? When we have a child later, you can’t even learn how to play the piano, so you won’t be sad? Although the whole family’s surname is Li, but It’s also a matter of relatives and distances. When you look at me, you are the only one in your eyes, and you only treat me the best. No matter what others say, I have to guard this money for you and the child anyway, and you are the only one in my heart!”

Li Xiaozu nodded gratefully, looked at his daughter-in-law with a flattering face and said: "From now on, I will rub your feet every day."

"Yeah!" Zhou responded coquettishly through her nose, moved on Li Xiaozu's body, pulled his ear back and forth with one hand and said coquettishly: "Look, Da Lang, it's like this at home. Now, we have to take care of A Niang, otherwise, what will we do in the future? Don’t you think so, Da Lang?”

"You're right, we have to make plans for A Niang, but, we..." Li Xiaozu reached out and hugged his wife's soft waist, and leaned forward to kiss her face.

"Why don't we do some business." Zhou interrupted Li Xiaozu's words, and suggested enthusiastically, Li Xiaozu was stunned for a while: "That's... I'm afraid I can't do it. If you follow me, I feel wronged, I have no ability , look..." Li Xiaozu looked at his wife distressedly.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhou quickly kissed Li Xiaozu's lips, stretched out her legs and wrapped them between his legs, and said softly and coquettishly: "You are the best, you are so kind to me, you are the only one in the world." I count you as the best!" Li Xiaozu blushed all over with a smirk.

"Who is born with it? I've been thinking about it all afternoon. My sister-in-law's natal third brother works as a errand in the building. I heard that renting a house outside makes a lot of money. Why don't we look for him? You and him?" Learn..." Mrs. Zhou propped up one arm, pressed her chest on Li Xiaozu's body, and pressed Li Xiaozu's lips with the other hand, her thoughts turned again: "Well, let's not keep this matter from my mother, you can discuss it with her Discuss, the family must have something to earn money, right? Renting a house is the best business. Even if you don’t make money, where is the house? Let my mother take some of the capital and earn money next year, which will save my mother so much hard work Save money, wait for your business to start, and then start our own small business, what do you think?"

Zhou's little abacus made a crisp ringing sound. This year, he will use A-Niang's money to practice his hands. Next year, he will start his own small business. How could Li Xiaozu turn so many turns? He nodded repeatedly and said: "You are so kind. , I knew you were the best, and I will never let you down in my life, and I only treat you well."

"I'm your daughter-in-law. You treat me so well, and I'm all for you in my heart." Zhou Shi giggled, wrapped his arms around Li Xiaozu's neck and pressed against him, and said with a coquettish smile: " Dalang, you said earlier...you have to be gentle with that trick..."

"Guy Lan'er, don't worry, I'll listen to you, you let me in... I'll come in..." Li Xiaozu exhaled heavily, turned over and pressed on Zhou Shi, and after a while, the two of them were entangled in a fierce and enthusiastic manner. In one place, Zhou's charming panting breath mixed with Li Xiaozu's hearty roar, adding an ambiguous and light serenade to this winter night.

In the heavy snow, seeing that the twelfth lunar month is about to enter, the troubles of the shopkeepers in the capital have increased sharply. The fact that Rong'antang applied medicine and paid for the shop is really sulking, but within a few days, the Song family medicine shop at the entrance of the east gate of the temple was also closed. People carried the coffin and held up the soul-calling flag to block the door, saying that the Song family medicine shop used fake medicines, and after killing someone, they smashed the door without saying a word, yelling that if they don't pay the shop, they will go to the government office to beat them. lawsuit.

Before the yamen servants came over, the four or five drugstores along Sidongmen Street were so frightened that they knocked down their doors and closed the shops.The rest of the medicine shops got the letter, even if they didn't close their doors, they hurriedly took over the stalls where the medicine was applied, so the medicine wouldn't be given to the head office.

Before the shopkeepers of other shops came back to watch the excitement, this blackmail disaster also blocked the door. First, Sun Haoshou's steamed bun shop in Qiaoxi was smashed by two screaming patients who said that they got sick after eating his steamed buns. It’s down, it must be that his family used moldy noodles and rotten meat, blocked the door and wanted to pay for the shop, followed by the perfume shop, the rouge pollen shop, and even the boot shop was blackmailed, so they just bought it at his house. He broke his leg with his boots!

Flowers of blackmail are blooming everywhere in the capital!

In two or three days, even the porridge sheds of rich and powerful people from all over the world were taken over one after another. Groups of beggars, old or disabled, in scanty clothes and pale and pale complexions, sat There are porridge sheds all over the place, knocking on bowls and beating time, crying and screaming like singing ditties: "Poisoning people to death! Fake compassion, come and see, poisoning people to death! Use the long-haired moldy rice to show kindness, and poison people to death!"

The yamen of the capital are full of medicines, meals, snacks, clothes, shoes, etc., etc. Dead, sick, broken legs, compensation for money, compensation for the shop, etc., piled up in a few days Some of them were as tall as half a person, and inside and outside the yamen were crowded with tearful, half-dead, hob-like 'victims'. The yamen of the Beijing government had never been so lively!
This scene is full of rascals, not to mention decades, even hundreds of years, I haven't seen it once. The whole capital is in chaos but it is very lively, and crowds of people watch the excitement.

Mrs. Xu received the report that the porridge sheds in the Qingjiang Hou Mansion had been extorted, she was not overwhelmed, and then heard that almost all the porridge sheds had been extorted. In the case of being blackmailed by shops everywhere, I sent my mother-in-law away, let out a long sigh of relief, and giggled again, this is the best, everyone, come and taste the feeling of being blackmailed!

Concubine Jiangjun got the letter, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover, she quickly sent several groups of people to inquire around, listened to the report carefully, and took a long breath, even if that girl had such a plan, where could she find so many people? Rogue go?Someone help her after this?Or... is it really a coincidence?

Officer Guo Tui ran around non-stop, running all over the city to suppress incidents and put out fires, his voice hoarse, his eyes full of red silk, but he was in high spirits and in a good mood. Secondly, seeing that the surname Ji is going to be in trouble, it's really very pleasant.Guo Tuiguan was busy for several days until midnight before returning.As soon as he got off his horse in the second gate, Mr. Hong, the staff member, came up to meet him, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Dong Weng has worked hard."

"I'm so fucking exhausted! The prison is full, even the yamen wing is full of people, how is it? What's the letter from the superior today?" Guo Tui's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak, and pulled the reins Throwing it to the boy, Luo circling his legs, shaking his sore arms, asked as he walked in, Mr. Hong smiled and said: "I heard that this is what was said at the court meeting today. The scriptures for impeaching our government said It was filled with several big bamboo baskets, and even the nominal mansion, uncle, was impeached, and the officials were furious, scolding uncle bloody on the spot."

"What's the matter with Mr. Guan? Oh!" Guo Tuiguan didn't finish his sentence before he realized that although the eldest prince Qin Yan's position as the governor of the capital is just a false name, he can seriously talk about death, which is also a worry. As the governor of the capital, it seems reasonable to scold him: "His governor just pretends to be a name, and doesn't care about business, scolding him... is a disaster." Guo Tui shook his head.

"The uncle was scolded, and he came to our yamen to act as an agent after the court." Mr. Hong continued meaningfully: "I don't know if it's a blessing, Ji Fuyin's letter of apology was also sent out today, I heard that the official Approved the words 'a corpse in a vegetarian meal, stupid as a deer hog'."

"Grandpa has gone to the yamen?" Guo Tuiguan was sensitively aware of something. Mr. Hong looked around, pushed Guo Tuiguan into the house, and then said in a low voice: "I came here early in the morning after the court, and I have been busy. I didn’t leave until it was dark, and when I entered the door, I made a real move. The case was cleared and the injustice was investigated. The matter of Qiao Ba hitting the board and pressing the money was revealed. Officer Guo Tui listened straight, stared round and stared blankly for a long while, then suddenly took a long breath, stomped his feet and shouted: "Why don't you send someone to tell me quickly? This is all..."

"Dong Weng!" Mr. Hong raised his voice slightly, interrupting Guo Tuiguan's complaint: "Calm down." Guo Tuiguan took another breath, raised his hand and pressed down several times, took another deep breath and nodded Said: "Okay, be quiet, you hurry up and talk!"

"As soon as the uncle entered the yamen, he first praised Dong Weng, saying that he saw what Dong Weng had done these past few days. Chong, Dong Weng, listen, is there anything better than this?"

Officer Guo Tui's excited brows fluttered, and Mr. Hong couldn't help laughing and said: "I weighed it for a long time, but I didn't let anyone tell Dong Weng that Dong Weng has such a temper that he can't hide his thoughts. I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable, it's better not to know, act according to your heart, Dong Weng is always sincere for the people."

"That's that, that's that!" Guo Tuiguan laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Mr. Hong heavily, and said, "The surname Ji is unlucky, and the master has won a big prize! Hahaha, refreshing!"

"Jifu Yin is abolished this time." Mr. Hong sighed sympathetically: "At any rate, he was born as a Jinshi in the second list. With the official comment, it is difficult to have the opportunity to become an official in this life. Third grade, what a pity! The one in Duke Wen's mansion is really a disaster!"

"How can anyone blame this?" Guo Tuiguan glared and said, "Wen Guogong's food is disgusting, and he just followed the table. Who can blame him? He deserves it!"

"Tomorrow, Dong Weng will have to see the uncle. Now that we have met, what should we say? We have to discuss it carefully."

"Well, there is something. You can give me an idea. In the past few days, I have found out where the thread is. Tell me, do you want to tell the uncle about it?"
