Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Suddenly, a poem popped out of Guo Ye's mind:

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water and is carved naturally.

"Cough cough..."

Cheng Erniu coughed lightly, deliberately waking up Guo Ye who was distracted, looked at Guo Ye with a playful look, and grinned with a naive side.

Guo Ye immediately woke up, and gave Cheng Erniu a blank look. It turned out that this kid didn't hold his fart well early in the morning, and this fart was so irritating.

It's fake to come here to eat bean curd, but it's real to see beautiful women.

Cheng Erniu dragged Guo Ye forward, found an empty table in front of the Douhua shop and sat down, then shouted to the inside of the Douhua shop: "Zhen Niang, here are two bowls of Douhua."

From inside came a voice that sounded unusually waxy to Guo Ye, and his bones were numb, saying: "Understood, you two gentlemen, wait a moment."

Tsk tsk, Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu sat opposite each other, and he couldn't help praising in his heart, the voice is so tiresome, I dare say that the beautiful woman who flashed by just now is the proprietress of this bean flower shop, Zhen Niang.

After a while, Zhenniang combed her beautiful cloud temples, wore a green cloth slanted-breasted wide-sleeved undershirt, and a purple skirt, wrapped around her slender waist and curled out of the bean flower shop like a water snake.

Taking small steps, he came to Guo Ye's table with a bowl of bean curd in his left and right hands, and said softly, "You two gentlemen, please use it slowly."

The moment she leaned over to put the bean curd on the table, Guo Ye had a close observation with this unparalleled beauty of the owner of the bean curd shop.

Her hair is as black as ink, willow-leaf eyebrows, an oval face, her cheeks are slightly red, and her fair cheeks are dripping with sweat, and her breath is as refreshing as blue when she speaks.

Guo Ye secretly compared Zhenniang with Wu Xiuxiu. Wu Xiuxiu was lonely and arrogant. In terms of appearance, this Zhenniang was slightly inferior to Wu Xiuxiu, and she didn't have that elegant and refined feeling.

However, Zhenniang also has something that Wu Xiuxiu doesn't have. The charm between her brows and the soul-stirring twinkle in her eyes are by no means comparable to Wu Xiuxiu's.

Guo Ye's eyes moved with Zhenniang's movements, and he blurted out soft praise: "What a good young woman who tickles people's hearts!"

Zhenniang had already entered the store and could not hear Guo Ye's soft praise, but Cheng Erniu, who was at the same table, was not deaf and could hear Guo Ye's words clearly.

Immediately he chuckled twice, and said softly, "How is it, Brother Guo? I've brought the Er Niu to the wrong place, right? Zhenniang is a famous bean curd beauty in Longxi County, she looks so beautiful. Her real name is Yang Wanzhen A few years ago, I married from another place and came to our Longxi County, and opened this bean curd shop to make a living. The bean curd is well-made and the person is also beautiful, so, hehe, the business has been good."

It turned out that her name was Yang Wanzhen, Guo Ye remembered it slightly in his heart, a good name.

Cheng Erniu picked up the bean curd in the bowl with a spoon, shook his head and sighed: "Zhen Niang is really a good woman, a small and weak woman supports a family, and although she has a beautiful name, she has never had any romantic affairs. It's a pity..."

Hearing Cheng Erniu's sigh, Guo Ye stopped the spoon in his hand, looked at Cheng Erniu suspiciously, and asked, "What's the pity?"

Just as Cheng Erniu was about to poke his head over to say something, suddenly there was another shout outside the Douhua shop.

"Zhenniang, Zhenniang, quickly bring me some money."

As soon as the voice came, a thin gray man broke into the bean curd shop, followed by two well-dressed men.

Guo Ye took a careful look at the gray-clothed man who broke into the store. His face was unkempt and haggard, the bags under his eyes were thick and black, and the eye mucus was not cleared. Obviously, this boy must have stayed up all night without sleep.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, mixed with dry howling from time to time: "Where's the money? Quickly get some money for me, I lost to death last night."

Zhenniang's voice sounded at the right time, no longer the sticky voice just now, but more frightened and helpless, said: "It just opened this morning, where did you get the money? Didn't you take away all the money at home yesterday?" ?”

Then, there was another burst of insults and the noise of rummaging through boxes.

Guo Ye frowned, and Cheng Erniu took the opportunity to explain: "It's a pity that I said it. This man is Zhenniang's husband, named Hu Pi. Hu Pi is a well-known scoundrel in the county town. Whoring and gambling is a bastard's thing, it's a pity that Zhenniang is such a virtuous woman, no matter how good she is at managing the family business, she can't withstand the scourge of this bastard Hupi."

Guo Ye looked at the Hupi in the bean flower shop and heard Zhenniang's terrified screams, and couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. How could such a woman marry such a bastard.

Cheng Erniu mouthed the two well-dressed men next to Hu Pi again, and said, "These two must be gangsters from the Daxing Gambling House. Hu Pi probably lost his eyes again last night, and borrowed the money from the gambling house." I lost all my money again, and was escorted back early this morning to get the money.”

Guo Ye glanced at the two men who silently followed behind Hu Pi, and thought, aren't they the casino loan sharks?

Snapped!

A crisp sound interrupted the conversation between Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu.

Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu looked at the bean flower shop again, and saw that Hu Piyang slapped Zhenniang, and Zhenniang was squatting on the ground with her cheeks covered, sobbing and crying.

After Hu Pi slapped him, he hurriedly jumped and scolded: "You open the door every day to do business, why do you have no money? Don't hide it, quickly get out the money for me."

Then he bowed to the two men behind him and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, this woman must have money, I will definitely beat her to hand over all the money."

The two men stared at Hu Pi with both eyes, and continued to remain silent, but snorted coldly to reply to their dissatisfaction.

Hu Pi continued to curse and continue to persecute Zhenniang, just for money.

Zhenniang squatted on the ground crying out of breath, she really couldn't get any money out.

Hu Pi became angry from embarrassment, raised his right hand high and wanted to hit Zhenniang again.

At this moment, Guo Ye couldn't sit still anymore, paralyzed, is this also called a man?Fuck you Hu Pi eight generations of ancestors.

boom!

Guo Ye jumped up against the crime, not only scared Cheng Erniu who was eating bean curd on the opposite side, but also Hu Pi and the two gambling shop thugs. He shouted: "Stop!"

Then he walked out of his seat and entered the store, and said coldly to Hu Pi, "Hu Pi, if you dare to do anything again, believe it or not, I will let you go in and eat in prison?"

Uh……

Hu Pi couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw Guo Ye, who was wearing a public uniform, stand out.

This can't offend anyone in the government. He really believed Guo Ye's words. He had a bad reputation outside Erli Street, and he just went in with a crime for himself.

But the two people from the gambling house in the back are not good at trouble. If they don't owe the money to the gambling house today, they will probably be beaten up again.

How could he, Hu Pi, not know the methods of these people in the gambling house?

So he pleaded with Guo Ye: "My lord, why don't you care about this matter? Besides, Zhenniang is my wife. If I ask her for money, if I beat her, that's a matter of course. It's not a crime." Law."

As soon as Hu Pi said this, Guo Ye's nose almost crooked.

Damn it, what kind of bullshit is a matter of course, it doesn't work here with me, it's really embarrassing to you, paralyzed.

So he swung his right hand at Hupi, slapped each other on the left and right, and shouted: "According to what you said, I'm on business, so it's not against the law to hit you?"

Guo Ye shot hard enough, directly hitting Hu Pi's cheeks high and swollen, his eyes were full of stars, and he almost couldn't stand still.

Seeing Guo Ye, Cheng Yaojin, who had come out halfway, the two men who were silent all the time felt displeased, but they didn't dare to question Guo Ye loudly because of Guo Ye's status as a public servant.

Instead, he said in a blunt tone: "My lord, this Hupi owes us money from the Daxing Casino, and it is only natural to pay the debt. It is not kind of you to do this."

Guo Ye didn't like these bastards who were used to killing people, setting fire, splashing paint, and loan sharks. He didn't even look at the two of them, and snorted coldly, "What's the matter? When did the imperial court promulgate a law to allow gambling houses to pay interest? Turn around I really want to go back to the yamen to ask the county captain."

The meaning of these words is to tell the two thugs that this beam is decided by Guo Ye.

Looking at Zhenniang who was squatting on the ground trembling like a frightened deer, Guo Ye became even more determined to help this weak woman.
