Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 44 Robbery (2)

"Aniang, say this... this, do you really like it? All right, I'll go if you think it's good, don't be angry, my son has written it down, don't worry!" Wu Chenglin declined half a sentence with a toothache, seeing Princess Ningguo raised her brows to get angry, but hurriedly agreed, beckoned to Steward Dai, and they all retreated out together.

When the two of them came out, Wen Guogong and Wu Chenglin waved his folding fan irritably. He also pointed to taking money from Qianchunfang to redeem Miss Xianxian. !But go to the fifth prince, Qin Yu, to ask for Qianchunfang, he is even more unwilling to go, that fifth brother is not a good guy!Wu Chenglin thought about the times he had bumped head-to-head with the fifth prince in the past two years, a layer of fear flashed in his heart, he hesitated, and even more retreated, "My lord, where can we find the fifth prince?" Steward Dai After being frustrated and frightened just now, with a layer of unconcealable horror on his face, he bowed obsequiously and asked in an extremely low voice, Wu Chenglin closed his folding fan with a 'wow', frowned and twirled his beard, and after a long while He said: "This early in the morning, I'm afraid I'm still in the palace. Where can I find it? Let's go and find the man surnamed Zhao first. If it wasn't for him, we could break the money and go in? He has to tell the master about this." Let’s talk about it, I heard that he made a lot of money from Qianchunfang, go find him first, don’t let him run away!”

"Yes!" Steward Dai agreed very straightforwardly, and his words hit his heart, it was Zhao who broke the big deal!

When Wu Chenglin and a group of long followers and guards broke into Shopkeeper Zhao's residence, Shopkeeper Zhao was watching people pack their luggage.Steward Dai commanded all the guards, and drove shopkeeper Zhao's servants and old servants to a corner of the courtyard to watch, and followed Wu Chenglin into the upper room.

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the two with a pale face. Wu Chenglin stood in the center of the room with one hand behind his back and a folding fan in the other. Why, you have fooled me for fun, are you planning to run away?"

"Where did the Duke of the country come from? No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to deceive the Duke of the country." Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly bowed to the end when he heard the wrong words. When he took over the matter of Qianchunfang upstairs, he knew that he was afraid that the two ends would not be settled. The merger of the two companies must have been planned long ago. Thinking about Li Tian's words that day, he just felt chills on his back and thought for a while. After a while, he hurriedly asked people to pack their luggage, and wanted to go back to the countryside to avoid disaster, but they didn't expect Wen Guogong to come so quickly.

"So, is it that I have wronged you? Do you want me to accompany you? Ah? I ask you, you know that Qianchunfang is going to wear a pair of pants with Qingfenglou, why are you coaxing me to throw money into it to support you?" That Yutangchun? Tell me carefully, are you making me look like a fool?" Wen Guogong sat down on the upper chair, crossed his legs, and asked shopkeeper Zhao with a fan.

Shopkeeper Zhao's face was green and pale, and he tried to explain with a smile: "How can the young man bear the words of the Duke of the country, even if he borrows ten or eight of the younger ones, he will not dare to lie to the Duke of the country. Isn't the master also doing it for Miss Xianxian?"

"Fart your mother!" Wen Guogong spat at shopkeeper Zhao fiercely: "Master, if you want to be slender, just say a word, what the hell are you, dare to point fingers at me, you are coaxing from me Yinzi, there is no way to say that the Lord will spare you? Tell me, how can you compensate me?"

"Grandpa Guo, you... you can't say that. It's my business to spend money on the show, this is my business. The shopkeeper Zhao is a little anxious, and Wen Guogong gave a 'crack' He slapped the table next to him, squinted his eyes, and took care of Shopkeeper Zhao up and down, as if he was looking at a monster: "Are you trying to reason with the master? The capital is full, and there is anyone who dares to reason with the master? You It's called audacity. I gave you a face and said a few more words, but you still put your nose on your face and reasoned with you? It's against you! Someone, search for you, pay the money, maybe you If you are in a better mood, I can spare your dog's life!"

Steward Dai is the best at pretending to be a tiger, and he swung his arms with great power, and seven or eight followers rushed into the upper room, kicking and throwing them down, packing up and unpacking, no matter what, just shook the ground, and returned Really shook out a small box of gold and a dozen silver notes.

Steward Dai opened the box and handed it to Duke Wen. Wen Guogong pressed one hand on the gold in the box, stroking it back and forth as gently as if stroking a beautiful woman. Steward Dai counted the silver bills, and reported with flattery and joy on his face. : "Master Hui, including those in the box, the total is 430 taels."

"Tsk tsk." Wen Guogong smirked with real joy, looked at the shopkeeper Zhao who was pinned to the ground by two guards pinching his arms, and said, "Your old boss died only half a year ago, and you made so much money? Great handwriting! I am not a good-tempered Li Jianizi, although these are not worth the money that I was cheated by you, it’s okay, I am generous, so that’s all."

After speaking, Wen Guogong gently touched the gold in the box again, stood up contentedly, and motioned to Steward Dai to put it away. Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes were red, and the veins on his neck bulged. Do you still have the king's law in your eyes when you rob people's wealth?"

Wen Guogong leaned sideways, raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and gave him a sideways glance: "Talking about the king's law to the Lord? A joke! Tell you, the Lord is the king's law! Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and went out. Putting on the box, he was about to lift his feet when shopkeeper Zhao broke free from the two guards, threw himself on Steward Dai with a stern face, snatched the box with all his strength, and ran out holding the box, screaming, "Help! Wen Guogong!" Forcibly pushing people's wealth, killing people for money!"

Steward Dai was so scared that his face turned pale. Wen Guogong pointed at the treasurer Zhao, jumped up and shouted in panic, "Shut up... Shut up his mouth! You bastard, hit me!" Several guards rushed forward, stretched out their hands first, and unloaded his mouth. Shopkeeper Zhao's chin was punched and kicked, and Steward Dai also rushed over, grabbing the box that Shopkeeper Zhao curled up and tightly protected on his chest.

Someone outside the yard yelled: "Duke Wen's mansion killed someone!" Then there was a lot of shouting and chaotic footsteps, and some people called the police.

Wen Guogong shouted anxiously: "Idiot! Take it quickly, and go!" Steward Dai and a few guards also frantically panicked. Steward Dai hurriedly kicked shopkeeper Zhao on the head and face, and the guards were even more vicious. , the subordinates did not spare half of their strength, the shopkeeper Zhao was beaten with blood from his mouth and nose, and he was so painful that he couldn't even hum. As soon as he let go, the box was snatched by Dai Guanshi.

The yard was already surrounded by neighbors who were watching the excitement. Steward Dai huddled behind Wen Guogong and said in a low voice: "Master, if this matter gets out, it will ruin your reputation..."

"What are you afraid of, sir? If you have something to say, say it quickly." Wen Guogong said toughly, but felt guilty in his heart. Steward Dai hurriedly offered advice: "Master, how about we say that this Zhao owes you money, If you want to renege on your debts and run away, it’s best to go through the yamen for the younger ones. If you want to ask the master to send him to the yamen, if you go through the yamen for not repaying the debt, then it’s fine. It’s Ming Road.”

"Send it to the yamen..." Wu Chenglin frowned hesitantly and said, "There is... an uncle in the yamen, I understand, okay?"

"What is the status of the uncle, how can such a trivial matter of owed money and repaying the debt be handed over to the uncle." Steward Dai hurriedly laughed with him, and Wu Chenglin said with a 'hmm' laugh: "Your boy is full of thoughts and ideas. , OK, that's it, hurry up and send me a picture of Grandpa."

Steward Dai bowed to answer again and again, handed the box to Wu Chenglin's close servants, and waved to several guards, "Tie it up and send it to the yamen!" The guards bent down to tie up the man, and put shopkeeper Zhao's hands and feet behind his back. Picking up his back, he tied it into a stilt-legged bun with all his strength, Dai Guan respectfully gave way to Duke Wen beforehand, and hurriedly ran a few steps, rushed out from the gate of the courtyard, hurried in front of Duke Wen to disperse the crowd and said: "Go, go! What are you looking at?" See? This guy wants to run away even if he owes our master money, it’s just and righteous to pay off the debt! They’re all gone, let’s go quickly!”

Guo Tuiguan looked at shopkeeper Zhao who was beaten in front of the hall, his head was covered with blood, his nose was crooked and his eyes were swollen, but he refused to admit his debts. Steward Dai, who had a folding fan and a chin soaring, was so bored that he just wanted to scold his mother. Couldn't Duke Wen's mansion do some bad things?Even robbing, you should pay more attention to it, at least forge an IOU or something, just go up naked and rob?Even the robber who occupies the mountain as king still finds an excuse to leave money to buy the road. Is it possible that the poor man in Wen Guogong's mansion really doesn't even want his face?

Official Guo Tui rubbed his brows very agitatedly. The affairs of Duke Wen's mansion were already sticky, and this brought the little girl of Li's family. The two families are together, so it must not be underestimated. The last time the two families met, the yamen of the Beijing government turned a Fu Yin to go in. This time, I heard that Qianchunfang and Qingfenglou are together, which means that the fifth master is involved again, and the fifth master is not a It's easy, this trivial matter must never lead to major events, Guo Tuiguan turned his head to look at Mr. Hong who was standing behind him, Mr. Hong lowered his hands, and quietly gestured to him, Guo Tuiguan coughed lightly Said: "This case is very important, very important, and needs to be investigated and interrogated carefully. Come here and send Zhao Zhonghou to prison first."

"Officer Guo Tui, this..." Officer Dai became impatient when he heard that he wanted to conduct a detailed investigation and interrogation. Officer Guo Tui got up from behind the case, walked up to Manager Dai with a smile on his face, and patted him affectionately. Steward Dai leaned over his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Master Dai, don't worry, just don't worry, this official knows very well, this is very clear in his heart, please go back first, Master Dai, just don't worry." Steward Dai saw Guo Tuiguan's attitude was extremely extreme. Well, what I said was very polite, and my heart fell firmly into my stomach, I put away my folding fan, and cupped my hands slightly arrogantly: "With the words of the official Guo Tui, at least I can talk to our Duke. Confess, that's fine, I'll ask about this case again tomorrow!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and left.

Guo Tuiguan, who is so well-informed and knowledgeable, ignored Steward Dai's arrogance, and asked a doctor to come over and take the pulse of shopkeeper Zhao, and gave him a few bottles of wound medicine. .

After arranging shopkeeper Zhao, Guo Tui retreated to the back to sign the bond room. Mr. Hong was already sitting on the kang drinking tea and waiting for him. It’s a hot-handed thing, what do you mean, sir?”

"There are twists and turns here, and it's hard to deal with. It seems that shopkeeper Zhao has long been involved with Wen Guogong's mansion, but who knows whose job he is taking? The lake behind Qingfeng Tower is also very deep." Guo Tuiguan listened Dumbfounded, he only felt that one head was as big as two. He looked at Mr. Hong with a bitter face and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with this capital city? How can such a thing be done?"

"Don't worry, Dong Weng, we don't need to worry about who is behind this. Have Dong Weng forgotten that there is a sky above our yamen, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, and it's not really anyone's business. Anyway, it's all about their family, I think this case is too complicated, Dong Weng should report it to the police." Mr. Hong suggested, and Officer Guo raised his eyebrows and twisted his beard and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! We have the Marquis Mansion above us. Yin, there is another Fu Yin above Hou Fu Yin, um, what you said is absolutely right, this case is too complicated, I will report it now!"

The Qingfeng Tower was decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, and the guests were bustling with banquets, celebrating the great event of the Heqianchunfang becoming a family.In a small room behind the stage in the back garden, Yao Xianxian and Zhou Zhoulang held hands and looked at Yuan Xiucai nervously. Yuan Xiucai wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his mouth and forced a smile and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, shopkeeper Wang just entered, this letter is not so fast, how can it be so fast? You two don't worry, ah, just don't worry, you can do what you specify, God has the virtue of good life, don't worry, ah, look at it , I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry at all, the appointment can be fulfilled, all I ask for these two days is to get a lottery, just don't worry, you see, I'm not in a hurry at all."
