Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 249 A Pair of Mandarin Ducks

In the evening of the second day.He Liu and Lao Hu came to the entrance of the pimp alley.

Fatty Xu came up to meet him: "Brother Six, that little boy just entered Cui'er's yard. Shall we do it?"

He Liudao: "Then what are you waiting for? Do it now."

Li Bofeng took the lead and kicked open the courtyard door, He Liu, Lao Hu and others then rushed into the courtyard and went straight to Cui'er's bedroom.

Governor Wu has too many concubines, and it is not a small expense to send maids to serve them all.Therefore, except for the concubines in the first ten houses and a few favored ones, there are no maids in the residences of other ordinary concubines.Cui'er obviously belongs to the rank of ordinary concubines, there are no maids or servants in the courtyard.

Li Bofeng kicked open the bedroom door again.On the big mahogany bed, a man and a woman are busy getting dressed.

He Liu chuckled lightly: "Mrs. Wu Fang is so elegant. In broad daylight, could it be compared with this young man who is betting on dice on the big bed, and whoever loses will take off his clothes?"

Tweety asked in horror: "You, who are you?"

Fatty Xu lifted Tweety's friend out of bed like a chicken.

That little white face kowtowed like garlic: "Masters, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"

Fatty Xu shouted: "Shut up! Let me ask you, who are you, how dare you steal Governor Wu's wife?"

The little white face said nonsense: "I, my surname is La. I live in Pitiao Alley, and I am the neighbor of Mrs. Cui Er. She, a big mouse ran into her bedroom, and asked me to help her catch the mouse."

He Liu let out a "thud" and laughed: "Pimp alley? Lajia? You made up a lie at least a bit like it! You caught mice, caught mice and caught them on the bed? And took off your clothes?"

The little boy's brain turned fast enough: "Yes, Mr. He. The big mouse ran too fast. I chased it around the bed, and I was sweating all over. I took off my clothes to disperse the stinky sweat on my body."

He Liu winked at Fatty Xu impatiently.

Without saying a word, Fatty Xu raised his fist as big as a casserole and greeted the little boy.While beating, Fatty Xu scolded: "Are you telling the truth? Fatty, I have practiced! If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you!"

The little white face is soft-boned, and he shouted after a short while: "I'm telling the truth, don't beat me, gentlemen!"

He Liu ordered Fatty Xu to stop.

Xiaobailian said: "I am the second child of Wang Zhengdao's family, a broker of Qingfenglan Yahang in Baoding City. My name is Wang Chenglong."

The business houses in Ming Dynasty, the tea shop sold tea, the silk shop sold silk and satin, and the rice shop sold rice, each of which had its own specialized products.Only this dental shop trades any goods as long as it can make money.The person who works in the dental office is called a broker.

He Liu was surprised and said, "Qing Feng Lan Ya Xing?"

He thought to himself: Wu Shujian's son is Wu Qing, and his daughter-in-law is Ji Lan.Qingfenglan, could it be that the Wu family opened it?
He Liu asked: "The owner of Qingfeng Lan Yahang is Wu Qing, the son of Governor Wu's family in Zhili?"

Little boy Wang Chenglong said quickly: "Yes. My father is one of the most powerful brokers under Mr. Wu."

He Liu smiled and said, "Okay. Your family eats the food of the Wu family, yet you still dare to steal the wife of the master's father? If I send you to the governor's office, what will happen?"

Wang Chenglong kowtowed like garlic: "Master, I was wrong! It's really not my fault. She hooked up with me first. I'm a student of Fuxue, and I pass by here every day when I go to Fuxue. Once, she left suddenly He came to me and dropped a handkerchief. Never, never, I shouldn't have picked up that handkerchief..."

Cui'er scolded angrily at the side: "You have no heart! You don't recognize anyone when you put on your pants, right? Which bitch raised her well and knelt in front of my bed and asked me to take off my clothes? One bite at a time If you don't sleep with me, I'm going to die..."

He Liu quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't care how you guys hooked up. Come on, bring a pen and paper, and I say, you guys write, and then draw after you finish writing."

Li Bofeng brought pens and paper to the two of them, and put them in front of Wang Chenglong.

He Liudao: "Listen: I, Wang Chenglong, in the summer of Jiajing 42, hooked up with Beizhili governor Wu Shujian's No. 80 seven-bedroom concubine Cui'er!"

Wang Chenglong held a pen in his hand, but did not drop the ink. He stared blankly at He Liu, and said, "My lord, if the ink eats the paper in this kind of thing, I'm afraid my life will be..."

Fatty Xu directly pulled out a dagger and put it on Wang Chenglong's neck: "If you want to write, maybe you can save your life. If you don't write, Fatty, I will send you to heaven immediately!"

Wang Chenglong had no choice but to follow what He Liu said, ink on the paper, and he and Tweety each pressed their fingerprints and drew a bet.

As soon as the ink was dry, He Liusao put the confession into his arms, and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I have a grudge against Governor Wu! You two have to think for me, what has Governor Wu done in the past two years?" Illegal things. If you can’t think of it, or if you can’t think of it, don’t say it. I will send this confession to the governor’s office immediately.”

Lao Hu chimed in: "If you can really help us bring down Governor Wu, heh, don't you pair of mandarin ducks just fly away?"

Wang Chenglong said: "I am a small person! How could I know about the crimes of the governor."

Cui'er also said: "Gentlemen, it's not nice to put it bluntly. I'm just a chamber pot that Wu Shujian used to put dirty water in. It's impossible for him to tell me what's going on in his official business!"

He Liuyi frowned: "I don't know, it doesn't matter, let's go now and hand over the confession of your adultery to the governor's yamen. Heh, I have already said that I have a grudge against Wu Shujian, let everyone in Baoding know that he has a green hat Son, if he loses face by being a tortoise, I can have fun too."

Wang Chenglong said: "Wait, wait! Let me think about it. Then what, Tweety, think about it hard."

After a stick of incense, Wang Chenglong said: "There is something, I don't know if it is illegal or not. Isn't my father working as a broker in Qingfeng Lanya shop? Yesterday at dinner, he said to me: Baoding Prefecture wants to build the embankment of the Yishui River. A large amount of sand and gravel is needed to build the embankment. Baoding Prefecture is going to buy it from Qingfenglan Yahang.”

He Liu asked: "It's common for the government to buy things from the people, so what kind of illegality is this?"

Wang Chenglong said: "Just listen to me. The price offered by Baoding Mansion is more than [-]% higher than the normal market price."

He Liu was surprised and said, "High [-]%?"

Wang Chenglong nodded: "My father told me a long time ago that in recent years, any purchases in Baoding Mansion will go through the hands of Qingfeng Lanya Shop. The price is usually [-]% to [-]% higher than the market price."

He Liu secretly thought: Li Chunhui, the prefect of Baoding, and Wu Shujian, the governor of Zhili, really regard the treasury of Baoding as their own treasury.Doing this is tantamount to kicking Ku Yin into his own purse "reasonably and legally".

He Liu nodded: "Yes. Okay, that's it, keep thinking!"

Cui'er suddenly said: "My lord! I also remembered something. Once, at five o'clock, I was encouraged to attend the master's bed. Halfway through the matter, the young master suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry. The master was impatient. Get up, go to the door and talk to him."

He Liu asked, "Oh? What did you say?"
