Fu Tang

Chapter 40

Li Congjia's first reaction after hearing this was that Yang Xin's identity was exposed and Zhao Kuangyin arrested him.

But after thinking about it, it was impossible. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know his real identity from the beginning to the end, so how could he know Yang Xin?

Looking at Yunniang's pale face, he asked in a warm voice, "Tell me first, what's going on? Who arrested Shishilang? Why did you arrest him?"

Yunniang took a deep breath and said, "It is said that the person who arrested Shishilang was the governor of the prefecture. As for why he was arrested, I didn't say anything. I just asked me to notify the elders in the family."

Li Congjia was even more baffled: "The judge of the prefecture? Why did you mess with such a person?"

Zhizhou Tongjuan is considered the second-in-command in Jiangdu Prefecture, and his official position is really not low. Before, Li Congjia thought that Yang Xin had offended someone by doing business.

But if he really offended someone, at most it would alarm the county magistrate and county lieutenant level, how could it be that the magistrate made the move?

But judging by Yunniang's appearance, I'm afraid I don't know anything, so Li Congjia had no choice but to say: "Let's go, I'll go and have a look."

After hearing this, Shi Xueting stood up and said, "I will go with the village master."

Li Congjia pressed his shoulders and said: "No need, you stay here to recuperate well, there won't be any major problems, at most it's just a matter of money, and I don't need others to go with me, none of you are suitable to come forward."

Those monks are the ones he can take with him at ease, but if he really wants to take the monks into the city, he will probably be arrested before he goes in.

Shi Xueting thought of his own situation, it was really not suitable, so he handed over the rosary in his hand and said: "This string of rosary will be given to the village master."

Li Congjia was also polite, took it over and said, "I just happened to go to Jiangdu Prefecture to see if there are any good rosary beads, and bring them back for you."

Shi Xueting shook his head, clasped his hands together and said, "I just hope that the village master will go and return soon."

Li Congjia responded with a smile, turned around and changed into a set of clothes. This set of clothes is made of silk. It was brought back by Shi Xueting when he took people to Taizhou to buy things. I can't wear this dress here, so why buy it?

Unexpectedly, it really comes in handy now.

After changing his clothes, Li Congjia thought about it, then turned to look at Chunsheng Qiushou and said, "Chunsheng and Qiushou come with me, just remember not to talk nonsense, and Qiushou stays to take good care of Master Xueting."

After hearing this, Chunsheng was very excited. They were rarely able to go out in the village. After all, they had no status and there was chaos outside. Now they had the opportunity to go out, so naturally they were happy.

And Qiushou was naturally unhappy, so he responded, and then looked at Li Congjia with pitiful eyes, Li Congjia... as if he didn't see it.

He didn't go out to play, Chunsheng looked smarter, Qiushou was more dull, Li Congjia naturally chose Chunsheng.

After Li Congjia changed his clothes, he asked Shi Congyun to take out the gold leaves that he had made before, wrapped dozens of pieces directly, and found a carriage, but he was a little entangled with the driver, and in the end he had to choose a relatively honest man in the stockade Those who can drive will follow.

On the way, Li Congjia inquired carefully, and found that Yang Xin had indeed been exercising a lot during this period, but it was not too much. There was no such thing as being short of weight, and the business was good, according to Yunniang. , it might not be long before you can buy a shop.

But who would have thought that there would be a catastrophe, two days ago Yang Xin was hawking as usual, but in the end a group of people came and took them away, including the people and the stalls.

Yun Niang, a weak girl, naturally couldn't stop it, but fortunately those people wanted her to pass on the message, otherwise they might even arrest her.

Li Congjia asked, "Who is Zhou Jun? How many people are there?"

At this time, Yunniang said with a strange face: "It's not Zhou Jun."

"Huh?" Li Congjia was surprised: "It's not Zhou Jun? Who is that? Could it be from Wuyue?"

Yun Niang shook her head: "No, those people are all dressed as servants."

servant?Li Congjia immediately felt relieved, it wasn't about arresting the army, at most it was a personal grievance, and there wouldn't be any major problems.

Li Congjia said helplessly: "Don't scare people like this next time, a servant is a servant, how can you say that the government arrested him?"

Yunniang said in a low voice: "Those servants said they were the magistrates of the prefecture. Isn't this... the government?"

Li Congjia couldn't help but laugh, this misunderstanding was completely caused by Yunniang's being too illiterate, it seems that literacy should be put on the agenda.

Then he inquired about the reputation of the magistrate, and Yun Niang didn't know much about it, and Jiangdu Mansion didn't have any bad rumors about this general judge.

Li Congjia knew in his mind that this person either had other motives, or he was a hypocrite and a real villain, but no matter which one he was, he was not incapable of dealing with it.

Now that he knew it was a private act, Li Congjia calmed down a little more. At worst, he would ask Fang Zi to Fang Zi, and ask for money to pay money, as long as he can get the person out.

When they arrived in Jiangdu Prefecture, they didn't feel embarrassed at all when they entered the city this time.

After Li Congjia entered the city, he was not busy going to Zhizhou Tongpan's house, but went straight to the pawnshop, exchanged some of the gold leaves in his hand for copper coins, and then went to a place specializing in jade wares to buy a pair of jade cabbages for the shop to use. Finished in a prime lacquer box.

Yunniang was a little anxious: "Zhai...Mr., what do you want to buy this for? If you like it, we can accompany you to buy it after we rescue Eleven Lang."

Li Congjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How did you grow up so big? I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to let them release you so rashly. For the sake of this pair of jade cabbages, this judge shouldn't do it again." blame us too much."

Yunniang really didn't know the reason behind this. Li Congjia did this firstly to bribe him with money, and secondly to warn the other party that he was worth a lot of money and he was not so easy to bully.

Li Congjia carried the things and asked Yun Niang to lead the way, all the way to the Tongju Mansion in the east of the city, not to mention, the gatekeeper of Tongju knew Yun Niang, when he saw Yun Niang, he looked at Li Congjia again and asked, "Who are you? "

Li Congjia cupped his hands and said, "I, Li Yu, from Taizhou, heard that my cousin Yang Xin offended the family, so I came here to make amends."

The concierge looked him over from head to toe, and guessed that Li Congjia's body was worth a hundred or so taels of silver, so his attitude was not so arrogant, and he just said: "Since I came to visit, I don't know how to hand in the greeting card in advance, how can I do this?" Don't you know the rules?"

Li Congjia smiled embarrassedly: "I was negligent, but I heard that my cousin got into trouble, and I was very anxious. Please forgive me. If it is inconvenient to pass the sentence, I will come back another day."

The concierge immediately said: "Don't go, I'll go and report to you. If the judge is in a good mood, maybe he will see you."

Li Congjia hurriedly stepped forward, handed a few copper coins to the porter and said, "That's it, old man."

The porter squeezed the copper coins in his hand very satisfied, closed the door and turned to report.

Li Congjia looked at the door thoughtfully and said, "This judgment... I'm afraid there is something wrong."

Yun Niang was at a loss: "What?"

Li Congjia said: "If someone in my family asks for a visit without handing over the card, my concierge will not say a word, let alone report."

Chunsheng couldn't help asking: "Then...could it be that there is something wrong with the concierge?"

Yun Niang looked thoughtful: "The concierge is fine, I'm afraid Tong Juan has already ordered it, otherwise if you lend him a few guts, he wouldn't dare to make up his mind for the master."

Li Congjia played with the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "That's exactly the truth."

Yun Niang let out a long breath: "As long as there is room for change."

Li Congjia didn't speak again, and after a while, the door opened again, and a servant boy came out, who looked about the same age as Chunsheng, and said politely: "Mr.

Li Congjia glanced at Chunsheng, and Chunsheng agreed to present him with a few more copper coins. Li Congjia then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little man."

The servant boy was also very satisfied, and took Li Congjia all the way to the side hall. He also looked at Li Congjia a little while passing by.

Li Congjia sat in the side hall for half an hour, Yunniang and Chunsheng gradually became a little irritable, and he was the only one still drinking tea and enjoying writing, leisurely.

Li Congjia guessed in his heart that it was almost time for them to hang out, when he saw a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes coming from outside.

Li Congjia put down his teacup, bowed to the man and said, "This must be Jiangdu Zhizhou who passed the sentence. The grassroots have seen the sentence."

Zhizhou Tongju said with a friendly smile: "Li Langjun is indeed a good-looking talent, no wonder his cousin is also extraordinary."

Li Congjia sighed slightly: "My cousin is young and ignorant, if he violates the general judgment, he still expects the general judge to hold his hands high, such a small gift is not a respect."

As he spoke, he pointed to the box on the small coffee table. After seeing the lacquer box, Zhizhou Tongju was very surprised, and his evaluation of Li Congjia's identity became higher.

He knew about this lacquer box. It was produced by the most famous old jade shop in the west of the city. That shop was a hundred-year-old shop, and the items it sold were not bad, but the price was so expensive that most people didn't even dare to take a look.

"Li Langjun is too polite, why spend so much money? Please sit down."

Li Congjia didn't have a seat, but said seriously: "My cousin caused trouble because I was not strict with my teaching. Naturally, you must be sincere in making an apology. I'm afraid the general judge will not appreciate this gift of apology."

The prefect of Zhizhou pondered for a while before saying: "Hey, well... Li Langjun may have misunderstood, your cousin is now a guest at the house."

Li Congjia turned to look at Yunniang: This is different from what you said.
