Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 619

After kowtowing, Liu Dazi got up, looked at the wooden box in Li Zipian's hand with bright eyes: "Godfather, what's in this box?"

Li Zipian said: "What else can I have? It's nothing more than Burmese jade bracelets, South Sea pearl necklaces, emerald hairpins, and a few big gold rings. This box cost your father 800 taels of silver!"

Liu Dazi stretched out a pair of dirty hands: "Ah! Godfather worked so hard to send the things back to Beijing."

But Li Zipian slapped Liu Dazi's hand: "Your father said, you like to gamble! He is afraid that you will go to the casino if you take the jewelry in the wooden box! This is for you to marry a wife. If you let You lost everything in twos and threes, and my godfather and I ran away for nothing. You took the wooden box, and you are not allowed to open it, so go home and give it to your mother."

Liu Dazi nodded hurriedly and said yes: "Yes, yes! My son listens to his godfather."

Li Zipian handed the wooden box to Liu Dazi with both hands.Liu Mazi took it and was about to leave.

But Li Zipian grabbed him: "Wait a minute, we haven't seen each other for four or five years, should you buy me a cup of tea?"

Liu Dazi said: "I should invite you to drink tea all the time. The shopkeeper, the bowl is taller!"

A few people sat around the table, and Li Zipian showed embarrassment: "Oh. In order to give you this box of jewelry, I rushed to Beijing from Jiangnan. Now I have spent all my money. How can I go back to Jiangnan? "

Liu Mazi felt that Li Zipian had admitted to the wrong person, and wished that he would leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan as soon as possible.When he left Beijing, how could he come back to find the wrong jewelry in this box?

Liu Mazi hurriedly said: "It's easy to talk about it! Godson has it here!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Dazi took out a small silver coin of five taels from his sleeve, and offered it to Li Zipian with both hands.

Li Zipian took the silver coin and weighed it in his hand: "I'm afraid this little silver is just enough for me to go to Shandong."

Liu Mazi hurriedly ordered the three cronies: "How much money do you have on your body, be quick and take it out!"

When the three friends heard the words, they quickly pulled out their sleeves and rummaged through their purses.I collected more than ten taels of silver.

Li Zipian said: "It's better to be less. Forget it, I'll save some money, and I should be able to cope with Jiangnan. Well, you should go home quickly and give the wooden box to your mother."

Liu Dazi was granted amnesty.Holding the wooden box, he led the three cronies out of the teahouse and went straight to the Dexin pawn shop in the east of the city.

Dexin Pawnshop was opened by Zhang Xun, the younger brother of Zhang Jing, the supervisor of ceremonies, and it specializes in precious jewelry.

Liu Dazi entered the pawnshop and said loudly to the Mr. Standing in the pawnshop: "I have a box of good jewelry here! It cost 800 taels of silver when I bought it! You give me a price!"

Mr. Station Cabinet took the wooden box and opened it on the counter. How can there be any jewelry in the wooden box?There are only a dozen gravels, and a few bubbles of shit!
The counterman is in his fifties and has worked as a pawn shop for more than [-] years, so he is well-informed.He thought to himself, this is the local ruffian looking for trouble!Taking broken stones for money, the jargon in the pawn shop is called "smashing open fire"!
Mr. Standing Cabinet was quite calm, and closed the wooden box with a "crack".He smiled at Liu Dazi: "Sir, this box of jewelry of yours is very valuable. I want to discuss the price with the shopkeeper."

Liu Dazi said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up. I'm waiting for the money!"

Mr. Station Cabinet entered the warehouse of the pawn shop.The shopkeeper, Zhang Xun, is taking inventory of the warehouse.

It is said that one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven.Zhang Jing was born in a poor family in Hangzhou.Zhang Xun is the only brother in the family.These two brothers wore a pair of poor pants in turn when they were young.Later, Zhang Jing entered the palace by mistake, worshiped Feng Bao as a godfather and became prosperous, so he took his second brother Zhang Xun to the capital.He also paid to open this huge pawnshop for him.

The Mr. Station Cabinet said: "The shopkeeper! Someone threw an open flame!"

Zhang Xun's face changed when he heard the words: "Who has eaten the heart of a bear and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"

Mr. Zhangui said: "The accent sounds like a local hooligan in the capital!"

Zhang Xun sneered: "Heh, although my elder brother has no real power now, he is still the handprint of the supervisor of ceremonies, the people around the emperor! These gangsters are so bold, they bullied me! Let's go, meet them !"

Zhang Xun got out of the warehouse and came to the counter.He asked Liu Dazi loudly: "Who are you?"

Liu Mazi said triumphantly, "I am the yamen of Shuntian Mansion inspecting Liu Rui!"

His three cronies hurriedly cheered for Liu Dazi: "Inspector Liu is in charge of taking care of the ground in the capital! That's a very famous person!"

"That's right! The things from his old man's house can't be wrong! You guys quickly make a price and pay for it!"

Zhang Xun looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! This year has really changed! An inspector of Shuntian Mansion, a sixth-grade sesame official! There are more bastards in Yongding River than this person! His son of a bitch, dare to go to the Supervisor of Rites to seal the eunuch 'Smash open flames' in the pawnshop run by my younger brother! Come on! Hit me! Hit me to death! If you kill someone, my elder brother will take care of it!"

Hearing the news, more than 20 clerks in the pawn shop rushed forward and beat Liu Dazi and his cronies until their noses and faces were bruised.

Zhang Xun walked out of the counter, and kicked Liu Dazi's head hard: "I call you the eighth-generation ancestor! I looked at my elder brother regardless of Dongchang and Yumajian, how dare a cat or a dog come here to find fault with me? Let me tell you, although my elder brother no longer manages the East Factory and the Yuma Supervisor, he is still in the hands of the Supervisor of Rituals! I killed the Zhima official’s son of a bitch, and the yamen dare not do anything to me!"

Liu Dazi happily entered the pawnshop vertically, alive and well, and was carried out of the pawnshop sideways like a dead dog in less time than three sticks of incense, and thrown onto the street.It can be seen that one should not be too arrogant, and the other should not be too greedy.

The words are divided into two ends.Let’s say that in the Yutai Teahouse, Li Zipian took more than a dozen taels of silver from Liu Mazi and the others, and said to He Liu and Sun Tai, “Go, I’ll treat you to a drink! Don’t thank me, my stupid godson gave the money!”

He Liu smiled and said: "Old Eleven, I really convinced you. Heh, it deserves that Liu Dazi was unlucky enough to run into the hands of the ancestor of Qianmen!"

Sun Tai said: "Master Li, aren't you afraid that Liu Mazi will report to the government?"

Li Zipian laughed loudly: "Grandpa, why did you forget? We are officials! Back then, my liar, Li, cheated according to the order! Now I cheated with my conscience! That foolish father, let alone a boy from Shuntian Mansion Inspection. Even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment dare not do anything to me."

The three of them left Yutai Teahouse.Li Zipian said: "Today I'll take you to a good place to have wine. Have you heard of the Japanese Women's House?"

He Liu asked: "Women House? It's the first time I've heard of it."

Li Zipian explained to He Liu the origin of the Japanese women's house.

This Japanese women's restaurant is a tavern opened by a Zhejiang native.The people who served at the banquet were all Japanese girls brought in from Japan by human traffickers.

In the capital city, there are countless nobles, and it is a place where every inch of land is expensive.Like those famous restaurants and restaurants in the north of the city, a meal is worth a hundred dollars.The petty officials of the six and five armies' governor's mansions couldn't afford to go to that kind of place.

The Japanese women's hall opened in the south of the city.The south of the city is far away, so the price of food and drink is low.The ministers of the Ministry entertain guests and drink, all in the north of the city.Those sixth-rank and seventh-rank petty officials like to go to the south of the city to treat guests and drink.

The food and drinks in the Japanese women's restaurant are good, the price is still low, and the banquets are served by Japanese women, which is quite exotic.Therefore, it has been favored by many small and poor officials for half a year since its opening.
