Yutang Golden boudoir

Chapter 15 Blackmail 1

The shopkeeper Sun Er swallowed heavily and looked at Li Tian's eyes with a strong hopelessness: "Mr. Wang still wondered why we had just sent someone to report to the office so soon. Who knew that those yamen were called by those trouble. The yamen came. Without saying a word, they locked the Wang shopkeeper and sealed the shop. It is said that this is a felony for selling the wrong medicine to kill people.

"My father is old... He..." Wang Daqing's urgent face was red and thick neck and stammered. Li Tian raised her hand to stop him and comforted him, "I know, don't worry." With that, he turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper Sun Er and asked, "Let's talk about your thoughts first."

The shopkeeper Sun Er looked at Li Tian sitting on the kang with a blank face doubtfully. What can such a 14-year-old girl know? After a moment of hesitation, he said perfunctorily, "This blackmail happens every year, but it costs a few taels of silver..."

"The blackmail is money. How many people smash the shop when they come up? You smashed the shop before you finished speaking. How long will it take for you to tie up the people? Rong'an Hall is not close to the government. Is it possible that those government officials will know that there is someone making trouble in Rong'an Hall at this hour? Whether it's wrong or not, we locked our people and sealed our shop first. We haven't been doing business honestly in this capital for a year or two. Who hasn't bought medicine in our shop? Why did you come up and condemn us first? Is this a matter of costing a lot of money? Li Tian stared at the shopkeeper Sun Er, one word tightly and aggressively.

The shopkeeper Sun Er was stunned, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's the little man who is abrupt. The owner, the villain feels that this matter is inseparable from the sudden resignation of the shopkeeper Huang."

"Well," Li Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her eyes and said, "This is on the point. You know in your heart that I am relieved. Now the most important thing is to save the Wang shopkeeper first. There is a Cheng shopkeeper who used to be a guest with his grandmother for several years. There are several acquaintances in the government office. I asked Cao Si's family to take you to find him. Grandma is a little kind to him, and he will be willing to help him with all his strength. First, he will protect the shopkeeper Wang and then say something else. If you want to use money, just withdraw it from the cabinet. If the cabinet is not enough, let Wang Daqing come to withdraw it. Go quickly.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper Sun Er suddenly had inexplicably confidence and hurriedly stood up and bowed heavily to agree. Wang Daqing's tears suddenly fell out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed two or three times in a row, stood up and followed Sun Er's shopkeeper and left in a hurry.

"Yuniang, please go and see if there is any message from Sun Liu." Li Tian turned her head and looked at the host. Yue Niang said 'um'. She was impatient to turn out again through the front door, pushed open the back window and jumped out directly.

"Five ladies, it's cold outside. Be careful of the wind. Go in." Yiluo handed a hand stove to Li Tian, who was standing straight in the porch, and carefully persuaded him.

"Well," Li Tian took the stove and moved her feet, but she didn't enter the house. She lowered her head, slowly paced along the eaves, paddled three or four times, and then entered the house without saying a word.

Yue Niang went for more than an hour before she came back. She entered the west room and looked at Li Tian and said, "The trouble is the splashing skin of the north city. Her surname is Chang, and she is black. Her nickname is black skin. It was his daughter-in-law who pretended to be dead. When I went there, Sun Liu had gone out to the usual black leather family and waited for an hour to come back to get the silver. The one who bought this Chang Heipi made trouble was the stewerman Dai in the Duke of Wen's mansion and promised him 50 taels of silver. He didn't know what to do next. Chang Heipi still didn't know. He had to wait for the stewor Dai's order. Sun Liu threw five taels of silver to him. He not only said everything, but also promised that if there was any excitement, he would tell Sun Liu first so that he could watch the fun. Take a good look." After Yue Niang finished speaking, she said 'Bah' with contempt, and I don't know whether it was often black skin or the Duke of Wen.

Li Tian exhaled a long breath. Sure enough, it was the Duke of Wen's mansion, and it was indeed the kind and kind eldest princess of Ning!

"Does the eldest princess know about this?" Yue Niang asked, and Li Tian leaned towards Yue Niang speechlessly. As soon as Yue Niang said it, she realized that her words were too stupid. She raised her hand and covered her mouth and coughed a few times and said, "This person is really human. I can't understand it for several lifetimes. The eldest princess has been friends with the old lady for so many years and is so good to you. As soon as I see you, she opens her eyebrows. With her eyes smiling, she held hands and kissed her meat and never left her mouth. Before the old lady's bones were cold, she could do this. It's really worthy of being a royal princess. She turned her face in the blink of an eye.

"Money touches people's hearts." Li Tian answered with a lot of care, and Yue Niang said, "Is she still short of money? She is the eldest princess and the aunt of the official family. She has been rewarded all year round. I think she is greedy.

"What's wrong with the official aunt? There are endless rewards all year round, so we have to see what is rewarded. There are a few lychees today, a box of pastries tomorrow, and two pots of flowers the day after tomorrow. That's all. Have you heard of anything else? According to the theory, the Duke of Wen's mansion has a rich family background, and the dowry of Princess Ning was not bad when she married, but she gave birth to a prodigal son with five poisons. After decades, no matter how rich the family was, it has also been lost. The eldest princess of the State of Ning stood up for the show again. When she was poor and anxious, she was shameless. Li Tian narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

Yue Niang nodded with approval: "This Duke Wen is really not a thing. I heard that he accepted a 13-year-old concubine last month. Is he almost 50?"

"Well," Li Tian answered absent-mindedly. She was not in the mood to listen to this kind of pink gossip at this time. Manager Cheng hasn't believed it yet. Seeing that it's going to be dark, Shopkeeper Wang can't spend the night in prison. Not to mention that he is old, in case he has any black hands...

"Bear by the way, Sun Liu asked if he wanted to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot. He had some friendship with Chang Heipi, and besides, it was only 50 taels of silver." Yue Niang asked, and Li Tian waved her hand and said, "No, first, it is easy to miss the identity of Sun Liu. Second, this is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root causes. Remove a Chang black skin, as well as Chang Bai skin, evergreen skin, Changhua skin, Yue Niang, I'm worried. I'm bother you to look at the other side of the shopkeeper again. Why haven't there yet?"

"Good!" Yue Niang simply answered and jumped off the kang and was about to go out. Qingzhi's voice sounded outside: "Five Lady, Cao Si's sister-in-law is here."

Yuniang lifted the curtain by the way, and Cao's fourth daughter-in-law leaned into a fat woman dressed in an indigo dress and wrapped in a square scarf. As the woman went in, she pulled off her scarf and exposed the round face of the shopkeeper Cheng.

"It's quite like the shopkeeper Cheng pretends to be a woman." Yue Niang praised. Li Tian suddenly straightened up and stared at the shopkeeper Cheng. It must be extremely important to come to see her like this!

"My boss, it's urgent, so I have to come to see you like this. The prisoner Ge Hezi just found me for a letter. Someone spent a hundred taels of silver to buy Qiao Ba, the head of the soap class, saying that he would be executed first after going to the court tomorrow morning, so that Qiao 385 board would kill the boss Wang!" Manager Cheng said anxiously and angrily.

Li Tian took a deep breath of cold air. First, she asked the life of the shopkeeper Wang and killed the chicken and monkey. The next step was probably to close the shop, drag the lawsuit, and then asked the middle man to settle the lawsuit for himself. He sold the shop at a low price or simply without paying. Li Tian bit her lips and was silent for a long time, and said clearly, "There are only two people who can manage this case in the government office. One is Guo Tuiguan, and the other is Ji Fuyin. Guo Tuiguan was born as a military general. He has military merit, is fair, alone, and is not close to any other country. The Duke of Wen is unlikely to find him, that is, to look for him. It is also difficult to move him. Jifu Yin and Dongyang County King have the friendship of classmates, and they travel frequently with Dongyang County and Wengongfu. They are a drill camp. He must be looking for him in the Duke of Wen.

"That's what the owner said." The shopkeeper Cheng nodded and agreed. Li Tian thought for a moment and then said, "In this case, Ji Fu Yin is the chief officer, but Guo Tuiguan is the supervisor. Ji Fu Yin is going to intervene. If it's not good, he will not cross Guo Tuiguan. I remember that you have a very good relationship with Mr. Hong, Guo Tuiguan's most trusted staff. You take Sun Er and Wang Daqing to ask Hong first. Sir, there are two things. First, the shopkeeper Wang is old and sick. He asked Mr. Hong to help him accommodate him and let Wang Daqing wait for his father in prison this night and tell Wang Daqing that he was optimistic about his father no matter what.

Li Tian paused for a moment and sighed gently, "Wang Daqing is too honest. You can call Ge Hezi a little more."

"Yes!" The shopkeeper Cheng replied heavily. Li Tian lowered her head and was silent for a moment before looking up at the shopkeeper Cheng and then said, "Let Mr. Hong take the second shopkeeper Sun to beg Guo. As long as the shopkeeper Wang is safe and sound, even if we sell the wrong medicine, it is common practice to lose money. Tell Guo Tuikan that we don't have much money. Second, it's okay to compensate the shop to the other party.

The shopkeeper Cheng looked at Li Tian in astonishment. Li Tian looked up and motioned to Yue Niang. Yue Niang understood, screened the crowd, and stood at the door guarding herself. Li Tian looked at the shopkeeper Cheng and whispered a few words and asked, "This is extremely important. Is Mr. Hong's place sure?"

"With sixty or 70% certainty, Guo Tuiguan and Ji Fu Yin have always been in harmony, and no one knows about this matter." Manager Cheng said cautiously.

"That's a lot. Thank you for your hard work." Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly. The shopkeeper Cheng hurriedly bowed to the end, resigned Li Tian, wrapped himself in a headscarf, and hurried back.

In Guo Tuiguan's house, which is two streets away from the government office, Sun Er's buttocks are seated next to a chair, with a respectful and nervous face. Guo Tuiguan sat on his head with a golden knife and said boldly, "Your owner is young, but he is a person who is willing to go down to the shop. It's okay. That's all right. I'll take care of it."

The shopkeeper Sun Er was overjoyed and got up and bowed to the end. Guo Tuiguan looked at Mr. Hong, raised his hand and smiled, "Mr. Hong helped me see the guests off. It's still early. Since you're here, let's kill two sets tonight."

Mr. Hong sent the second shopkeeper back. Guo has asked people to set up a chessboard and put his head in a corner and sighed, "It's not a good thing to be too rich!"

"Dong Weng's response is too straightforward."

Huh? You speak clearly!" Guo Tuikan lost his chess pieces and looked at Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong also dropped his chess pieces. Looking at Guo Tuikan and asked, "Don't you think this case is strange?"
