Chapter 127
Zhou Qingniu led people into Zhou's mansion, and wanted to ask Zhou Bohai's mansion where the food went, but he didn't expect to meet the smiling Jin Xi and invited him in for tea, he was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't make up his mind Look at the people behind you.
The people who came with them were also obviously stunned, and no one spoke for a while, for fear that there might be some trap in it.
It took a while before someone yelled, "Brother Zhou, go in and tell this little girl about our conditions, we can trust you!"
"Yes! Brothers are waiting for you outside!"
"If the little girl dares to play tricks, our brothers will never spare her!"
Someone took the lead and yelled, breaking the deadlock immediately, followed by yelling one after another.Jin Xi frowned slightly, and glanced at the corner of her mouth, as if she was about to cry after being wronged and bullied.Zhou Qingnian's face was flushed, and he turned around and shouted, "Shut your stinking mouths. What kind of a man is it to embarrass a little girl? I go in and talk, you all calm down!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone was as silent as ten thousand horses, they couldn't even hear a cough.Jin Xi was secretly amazed that Zhou Qingniu had such prestige among the hundreds of people.
After entering the room, Jinxi invited Zhou Qingniu to take a seat. Zhou Qingniu glanced around, and when he saw that this was Jinxi's boudoir, his face blushed halfway again, and he immediately lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes so restrained that he didn't even know where to put his hands.Hearing that Jin Xi asked him to take a seat, he refused again and again, and finally smiled foolishly, "There is no place for a person like me to sit in the girl's house. Speaking of it will hurt the girl's reputation, so I can just stand."
The big brother who led hundreds of people to make trouble, actually said such a thing?If he hadn't seen him yelling, those hundreds of people would bow their heads and listen to their ears. Jin Xi would never have believed that such a seemingly honest man would dare to lead someone into the magistrate's office.Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
The previous tactic of delaying the attack turned out to be curiosity, and Jin Xi didn't force him, turning his face away and ordering Qing Xing to serve tea.Zhou Qingniu said again and again that he was not thirsty. Seeing that Qingxing had brought over the tea, he scratched his head and looked at the teacup with underglaze pink and blue flower and bird patterns, which was not half the size of his palm, and suddenly said: "Such fine porcelain, I don't like it. Don’t dare to use it, put it away, girl.”
Zhou Qingniu, as his name suggests, is as strong as a big green bull. Qing Xing was so scared to death when he served him tea, but when he heard this god's words, he burst out laughing regardless of his fear, and threw the tea bowl in front of him and said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. Our girls have the best minds, and won't use such indecent tricks to harm you. Besides, there are hundreds of brothers in your yard, and our girls are not so stupid!"
"I...that's not what I meant." Zhou Qingniu blushed, and couldn't even finish his sentence.Now not only Jin Xi but also Qing Xing also saw that he was not a villain, his heart sank, and his mouth became sharp, "There is a wrong and a debt, although our girl is the daughter of the magistrate, but you should also inquire about it, our girl How many things have been done for the victims of the disaster. Even if you are angry, you can’t blame our girl! What is a group of men bullying our girl? If you have the guts, go to Anyang Marquis to make trouble, go to the front office to make trouble with our master !"
"Don't be rude!" Jinxi drank Qingxing back, and smiled at Zhou Qingniu, who was scolded by her, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, don't be as knowledgeable as a maid like me. Just say what you have to say, and I will definitely bring it to you." my father."
Zhou Qingniu's face turned blue and white, "We are all coolies on the riverside who make a living by pulling fibers and protecting canals. It's not that we want to make trouble. We really can't survive. We have to ask the magistrate to give us a way to survive."
Jin Xi frowned, "The collapse of the sea dam and the flooding of the canal are natural disasters, and there is no way to do it. But sooner or later, the flood will recede. At that time, the river must be dredged and the prosperity of the past will be restored. How can you not live?" Go down? It's more difficult now, but isn't Mr. Qin giving porridge?"
"A bowl of white porridge every day, what can it do? According to the law, the magistrate should open a warehouse to distribute food according to the head! Is he trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune for the country by not moving?" Zhou Qingniu finally remembered what he was here for, and the two With a glare, he raised his voice, trying to restrain Jin Xi with his momentum.
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, there isn't even a single grain in the Fucang." Jin Xi didn't listen to him, and sneered, "The former magistrate of Anyang ran out of money in the Fucang and died suddenly. When I came to Anyang to thoroughly investigate this matter, I encountered a catastrophe that never happened in a hundred years. I can only say that my father was out of luck, and that he wanted to make a fortune for the country. Do you have evidence? To raise food for the victims, my father worked day and night, exhausted He vomits blood, you don’t want to help but gather crowds to make trouble, what’s the point?"
Jin Xi felt a lot of pressure to tell nonsense with her eyes closed, but she couldn't handle it otherwise.If she can't write two words of Zhou in one stroke, she will dare to ruin Zhou Bohai's words, and what is waiting for her in the future may be Weiwei's mansion that ransacked her family and exterminated her family.
Zhou Qingniu was taken aback by Jin Xi's words, and his attitude obviously softened, "Obviously someone said that the prefect of Zhou embezzled the food in the warehouse, and he sent someone to pick up the seawall for fear of revealing the matter, so..."
"Who said that?" Jin Xi suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, and she figured out that Zhou Qingniu is a reckless man, and today he brought people to make a big fuss in the magistrate's inner office, obviously he was used as a gun by others.
Zhou Qingniu couldn't answer Jinxi's pressing question. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember who said it.I just remembered that when there was a commotion outside the government office, someone whispered a few words beside him. He was angry at that time, so he rushed here without thinking much about it.I'll think about it carefully before I feel it's not right.
What Zhou Qingniu was thinking was written all over his face, with an extremely rich expression. Jin Xi struck while the iron was hot, "As the saying goes, three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Even if my father is greedy for money, he would not do such a thing. Anyang is rich I can't get money from anywhere, and what is not worth more than the food in the mansion? Besides, the seawall broke, wouldn't the court come to investigate? Many people died, and my father's black yarn can also be kept. Young children can count, but my father can't?"
"But..." Zhou Qingniu was completely persuaded by Jin Xi, and felt that it was not easy to explain to the brothers outside. Everyone tried to question him on the charge of losing their heads, and they just kept silent and didn't even get a result. Ask, this is too useless!
Jin Xi understood his worries, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a sneer from outside, "But what?"
The tone of voice was gloomy with a bit of indescribable anger and meanness, completely ignoring Zhou Qingniu and nearly a hundred strong men in the courtyard who were at war with each other.Zhou Qingniu's face froze, his eyes were full of hostility, like a wild cat that was dozing off and got angry when it was teased, and it showed its sharp claws in a blink of an eye, where the cat was clearly a bloodthirsty wolf.
Zhou Qingniu stared vigilantly at Qin Xiao who was stepping in, without answering, he secretly shrank behind his back with one hand, and clenched the whistle stick tightly with the other.It is indeed a big brother who is the leader of nearly a hundred people. When he doesn't know the enemy's reality, he can still hide and not reveal it. It's a pity to become reckless.
Jin Xi secretly sighed regretfully, and looked up helplessly at the person who came, "What are you doing here?"
Quite different from Zhou Qingniu, who was on full alert, Qin Xiao entered the room with a playful smile, as if he hadn't seen him, and sat across from Jin Xi, not answering her questions.Glancing around, he shook his head, "You live in this kind of crappy house? Is this a place where people live?" His tone was so wild that it made it uncomfortable not to slap him a few times.
Is now the time to discuss whether her living expenses are exquisite?Jin Xi was secretly annoyed that Qin Xiao was out of tune and ruined the favorable situation she had managed to stabilize, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the place he had seen, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't realize how miserable the house she lived in was.
The calligraphy and painting on the wall, the display on the shelf, and the incense in the stove were all chosen by her personally. Although it is not luxurious, it is better than elegance and cleanliness. How can it be uninhabitable?
"What kind of rags are these?" Qin Xiaoyu was not surprised, "How can anyone use silk gauze to paste windows now, and now the most popular thing in Beijing is moon shadow gauze, and this furniture is all made of jujube wood, okay? Keeping healthy is not nourishing blood. And this set of cups..."
Qin Xiao babbled endlessly, from window screens to furniture, from furniture to porcelain, and counted them all over the row. Jin Xi's head grew dizzy, and he cursed this guy and lost his nerve again.Zhou Qingniu was obviously also dumbfounded by Qin Xiao's words, and his eyes turned around his fingers submissively.
The more he talked, the more complacent he became, Qin Xiao got up with an expression of wanting to prove that his statement was correct, and picked up a thin-necked cordyceps bottle with a thin neck between Baibao and threw it out of the window. Pat the non-existent dust, "It's not true, are you willing to show something worth a few taels of silver?"
"Hey!" Jin Xi's blushing veins popped out of his forehead. Isn't it true that it's worth a few taels of silver? What's wrong with putting it in her room?
Zhou Qingniu was also confused by Qin Xiao's actions. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao suddenly turned around, and at an extremely strange angle, he rushed straight in front of him.Zhou Qingniu didn't even snort, but his body like a strong bull slid limply to the ground.
Qin Xiao was still not at ease, stretched out his hands and pulled off his belt, covered his shoulders and wiped his back, tied him into a bun, and even pulled a cloth towel and stuffed it into his mouth.
The whole movement was done in one go, and when Jin Xi came back to his senses, Qin Xiao had already carried Zhou Qingniu to the door, held the poison dart snatched from his hand against his throat, and sternly shouted at the disaster victims outside the door who were waiting for news: "The chief culprit has already laid down the law, and the rest don't care. I'll give you half a stick of incense to get out, or I'll let the archers outside shoot arrows. The young master did what he said, and if he refused to accept it, he rushed forward, and the young master shot you into hedgehogs." !"
Taking Zhou Qingniu as a hostage and threatening everyone to quit, but saying it in a provocative tone, Jin Xi secretly had a headache. I really don't know whether Qin Xiao is shrewd or stupid.Sure enough, before he finished speaking, he kept following the middle-aged man beside Zhou Qingniu, and yelled, "Brothers, don't listen to this nonsense, stand shoulder to shoulder and save big brother!"
The stunned people seemed to wake up now, and they rushed forward in a swarm. Just now, they heard the sound of a gong on the wall, and several sharp arrows shot out unexpectedly with the sound of wind.It was ruthless and accurate, and shot all over the chest of the middle-aged strong man who yelled first. He lowered his head and touched the blood spurting from his chest. He didn't seem to believe that it was his own blood, and looked back blankly. He fell down with a bang, and died with regret.
