The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Erdao Hutong, Yangzhou Fudong Street.

Su Jin and the other four came to the door of the main room in the backyard quietly, and leaned on the door to listen carefully. A man and a woman laughed teasingly from inside. The man's voice was old and deep, and the woman's voice was soft and delicate. The age gap is huge.

Su Jin reached out and took the door knocker and tapped on the door a few times. The voice inside didn't stop, as if they didn't hear it. Su Jin knocked three more times, but there was still no sound.

Su Jin said softly: "Do it."

Ma Han reached out and took out a thin dagger from his bosom, the cold light was dazzling under the night light.

Song Quan trembled in fright, tugged at Su Jin's sleeve and said, "Brother Su, don't be impulsive, just ask for money, don't hurt anyone's life."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "We need people and money."

Song Quan's face turned pale, and now he's in serious trouble. This Su Jin is actually a ruthless villain. He knows their crimes. It seems that they will be silenced. It seems that it is better to keep quiet and make false claims with them. , Looking for an opportunity, he ran away and called for help. There were quite a few soldiers patrolling the street.

Ma Han twisted the dagger in his hand, Wang Chao Pitou slapped him: "When is it, you are still playing tricks here, do it quickly."

Ma Han scratched his head aggrievedly, put the dagger into the crack of the door and moved it up and down, only to hear a "click", and hit the door bolt, then lightly fiddled with the tip of the dagger, and after a while, there was a click, and the door inside The bolt falls off, and with a slight push, it should be closed and opened.

Su Jin gestured for the two to look around. There was no one in the middle room and the west room, only a man and a woman in the east room. up.

Chao Chao closed the door again and fastened it, and several people walked towards the east room, when they heard a man's low voice panting from inside.

"Come on, no one will know, I've missed you for a long time..."

A delicate woman's voice said: "But...but you are the father-in-law of the slave family. If the husband finds out, the slave family will die."

"Bah, how could he know, even if he knew, I am his father, and I gave his life, so what's the point of enjoying his wife?"

"You... you old man, last time... the last time I went to my slave's house to take a bath in the room, did you peek outside? You even kicked over my flowerpot."

"Ha... so you already knew that the old man was peeping outside. No wonder you take a bath when you take a shower, and you act so attractive. I think you have long wanted the old man to spoil you."

"Elder-in-law, don't say that, you are ashamed to answer, my family, my family's life is just suffering."

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, so let the old man love you, kiss your good wife, how about a leather cup?"..."

Su Jin and the others looked at each other in dismay when they heard this, the man and woman turned out to be the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the father-in-law probably took the opportunity to come tonight tonight, what a coincidence.

Ma Han couldn't help it, he laughed 'ha', the two inside who were feeding wine mouth to mouth heard the movement, the woman whispered: "Who? Who is outside?"

The man said: "Little boy, don't be suspicious, I sent you to the Zhuangzi, I gave them some wine to cook and boys, I'm afraid you'll be sleeping like a dead pig right now, don't worry. "

Su Jin couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, plunged into it and said with a smile: "It's a sin, it's a sin, it's a good thing that bumped into the good things of the two of you, isn't it a disservice to nature and reason?"

A pair of wild mandarin ducks broke away from their embrace like an electric shock, the room was hot, the two were wearing small clothes, the man's trousers were half faded, and the woman's clothes were even more open, revealing Bai Shengsheng's chest, two spots of bright red could not be concealed, under the light Jump up and down like a little white rabbit.

"Who are you? How dare you break into a private house?" The man shouted, pulled up his pants, and reached out to pull out the long sword hanging on the wall.

Ma Han waved his hand, and the dagger in his hand flew out, nailed into the wall with a 'sudden' sound, only half an inch away from the man's outstretched hand, and the man was so frightened that he withdrew his hand half-burned.

Ma Han pulled out another dagger and played with it in his hand: "There is a change, I will lose this knife in your face."

"The hero, please forgive me, we...we are strangers, and I don't know where to offend several heroes." The man hurriedly bowed to beg for mercy, seeing the opportunity quite quickly.

Su Jin looked at the red candles burning high on the table, thinking that the food and drink that had been knocked over when he was alarmed just now were dripping, and said with a smile: "Candlelight dinner, I'm so excited; I'm sorry for disturbing your interest; No, how about you continue, let's talk when we're done?"

The man blushed and said: "My good man, if you have anything to say, you can say it, as long as I have it, I can ask for anything, but please spare my life."

Su Jin sat down on the chair, pointed at the woman and said, "Your son's wife?"

The man was ashamed to death, and said shyly: "I was confused for a while, I deserve to die, don't be annoyed, a good man."

Su Jin chuckled and said, "I've heard a lot about father-in-law playing with his wife, but I've never seen it. Today is an eye-opener. It must be very exciting."

The man said: "Please don't say it, grandpa, I was wrong, I was deceived by the lard; ah... By the way, are you my naughty son who sent you to catch him?"

Wang Chao scolded: "Fuck your mother, grandpas have time to take care of your family's crap, even if you mess with your grandson-in-law, they don't have time to talk to you."

The man said: "I have no grandsons, only granddaughters, and no granddaughter-in-law."

"People like you should be peerless." Wang Chao spat hard.

Su Jin chuckled, raised his legs and said, "Are you called Meng Huiyuan? You opened a grain store on Dongdajie? Did you run the Mengji grain store?"

The man said: "I'm just here. I don't know what orders the hero has?"

Su Jin said: "Didn't you just say that you will give me everything you want? We are here to ask for one thing."

Meng Huiyuan said: "As long as there is something, just ask for it."

Su Jin said: "Your family must have it. What I want is grain. Don't you run a grain shop? There are your grain shops in the four cities of Yangzhou in the southeast, northwest, and you should have no shortage of these things."

Meng Huiyuan said in astonishment: "My good man, you can do anything you want, but the food is indeed gone, and my shop has been closed for a long time."

Su Jin scolded: "Hey, you lied to your face. It seems that you want to suffer a lot. Take off their clothes and tie them together and hang them on the big locust tree at the street entrance. Let the people of Yangzhou City see them tomorrow morning." Look at this pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate."

Ma Han stroked his sleeves and was about to step forward. Meng Huiyuan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, crying bitterly: "My good man, the food is really gone. There is only five hundred shi of food in the house, which belongs to our whole family and the shop assistants." For food, there are donkeys and mules at home, all of which are used to survive."

Su Jin said: "This is strange. You are the one who runs a grain store, but you say that you have no grain to sell at home. How do you do this business? How to teach people to believe it."

Meng Huiyuan said: "The hero doesn't know something. My family originally had food, but it was sold out. The situation in the city is not unknown to the hero. Who still has food now? There is a shortage of food everywhere, and the food is on the counter. There is really no way to coax them away."

Su Jin stood up and walked to Meng Huiyuan's side, lifted Meng Huiyuan's jaw with his toes and said, "Look at me, tell me the truth, where did your food go? If you are lying, I will call you today make life difficult for."

Meng Huiyuan said with a mournful face: "It's really sold out. If you don't believe me, you can go to my shop and granary to have a look."

Su Jin sneered and said, "It's sold, but to whom?"

"Sell to... the people of Yang...zhou."

Su Jin shouted: "Hit."

Ma Han dashed up, grabbed Meng Huiyuan's hair, pressed his head and hit the ground three times in a row, Meng Huiyuan's forehead bled suddenly, and he fell to one side in a daze.

The woman screamed in fright, Su Jin pouted her mouth, Wang Chao stepped forward and grabbed the woman's loose skirt and lifted her up, cursing: "Although Grandpa doesn't beat women, but you are such a cold and corrupt bitch." To be punished."

After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth left and right and drew two big mouths, then lifted the face covering and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on her face, and said on the ground: "Make another bird sound, I'm going to pick your peach blossom eyes."

The woman's face was swollen high, and a few teeth were loose, and she was shrunk to a corner and dared not move.

Su Jin picked up the jug and poured half of it on Meng Huiyuan's face. The cold wine woke Meng Huiyuan up, and he howled dryly in a trembling voice: "It's killing people, it's amazing."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Do you still dare to lie? Do you want to taste a few pigs?"

"Forgive me, forgive me, I've told you everything, Feng Huo bought all the grain, and almost all the grain shops in the city were bought by him."

Su Jin shouted, "How many?"

"The villain's house has 23 shi of grain stored in it, and there are quite a few in other houses. It is estimated that there is a million shi."

"What does he need so much food for?"

"This villain doesn't know. Grandpa don't fight, I really don't know, but the villain thinks, it's nothing more than selling it at a high price."

Su Jin shouted: "Millions of stones, how much does it cost, what does he do, how can he have so much money."

"I owe them all, and I only gave a small half of the money. The villain can't offend him. The shops in our Yangzhou city dare not offend him. He has many thugs in his family, and no one dares to offend him; besides... let's talk about him. The price given is not low, and people are trustworthy, so..."

"Enough...is there anyone else in the city collecting grain like him?"

"This villain really doesn't know, but if Feng Huhu makes a move, no one else will dare to argue with him."

Su Jin understood, straightened up and said, "Very well, if you are honest today, I won't embarrass you anymore, but don't miss a word about this matter, and your precious daughter-in-law, if we miss the news, we will Spread the story of you and your daughter-in-law climbing ashes throughout the city, and besides, I can come and go freely in your house, and taking your life is easy."

Meng Huiyuan hurriedly swore to keep his mouth shut, Su Jin said: "We're leaving, you can continue, but your daughter-in-law is full of spirits, no wonder you can't control it."

Facing the humiliation, Meng Huiyuan didn't dare to make a sound, until Su Jin and others went out, lying on the door and listening silently for a long time, then slumped on the ground and took a breath.

Looking back at the baby, his hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, his mouth was swollen and his face was blue like a ghost, and he thought: I should give up these tricks, why do I like such an ugly thing, and the spring flower of Bicuilou? It's so far away, I've left people with excuses out of thin air, and I don't know if there will be any future troubles, I'm pooh.
