[Liao Zhai] I live in Lanruo Temple
Chapter 8
The call of the yamen servants quickly alarmed the people in the government yamen, thinking that something serious happened, the guard on duty rushed out with a knife in hand, followed by Wang Zhifu and Master Gu who didn't wear their shoes and hats, and ran out in a hurry , while tidying up his clothes in a hurry.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
After a short journey, when they came to the door, Wang Zhifu, Gu Shiye and others were already dripping with sweat.
In the open space directly in front of the two stone lions, a group of people on the left who were not good citizens at first glance fainted.There are many large wooden boxes on the right hand side, perhaps because of the carelessness of the porters, the lids of several boxes were opened, and the jewels, gold and silver contained in them poured out, eye-catching.
A group of people in Wang Zhifu waited to take a breath of cold air and held it in their chests until they felt a slight suffocation, and then slowly exhaled it belatedly.
Faced with such a scene, everyone already understood what the "big event" was without the yamen servant's explanation.
The yamen servant regained his composure, pointed to a person in front of him and reminded: "My lord, there is a letter on the head of the person in the middle of the pile."
"Take it quickly and give it to me!" Prefect Wang urgently urged.
Before the yamen servant could do anything, Mr. Gu rushed over to get the letter first, opened it and delivered it to the magistrate. "Look, my lord!"
The content of the letter is not long, and Wang Zhifu's reading speed is very fast. You can read ten lines at a glance, and you can read it in the blink of an eye.
Master Gu was anxious to know what was said in the letter. Seeing Wang Zhifu, the more he looked at it, the more joyful he became. In the end, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart and laughed heartily. He couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what was written in the letter? What happened to the two piles?"
Wang Zhifu laughed so hard that he could hardly see his eyes, he wrote a letter to the master, and at the same time explained: "A chivalrous man who claimed to be unknown and his friends were passing by Jinhua, and happened to bump into the robbers in the eastern suburbs who were committing crimes. The friends sneaked into the bandit village together, pretended to be ghosts to attack the bandits, and destroyed the bandit den. The group outside the door are the bandits who have been doing evil for many years outside Jinhua City, and the boxes are full of what they have plundered for several years."
Since Wang Zhifu took over as the prefect of Jinhua, it is not that he has never thought about exterminating the bandits around Jinhua City, but the first reason is that under the indulgence of the previous prefect, there is a lot of corruption in the Jinhua City government, and he is busy with internal affairs.
The second is that the robbers are too cunning, they know the terrain well and are well-informed.Every time he wanted to suppress the bandits, the bandits hid in the deep mountains before they could be found. Once the government relaxed their vigilance, they would come out to rob merchants again.
Wang Zhifu felt like a thorn in his throat, but he had nothing to do with them, and he had a headache many times because of this.
It can be said that Liu Qingyu's act of earning the principal actually solved the thorn in the throat for the magistrate Wang, and he was grateful and delighted.
At this moment, the master read Liu Qingyu's handwritten letter, and he was overjoyed. "Anonymous knights actually don't take any money from the robbers. They just hope that your lord will see that they help the government get rid of a harm and ask for a hundred taels of silver as a reward. They are really gentlemen!"
That's right!It is a true righteous man and a true gentleman!Wang Zhifu couldn't agree more.
With the removal of this gang of robbers, Jinhua City has benefited a lot, not to mention that the unknown knight handed over all the property to the government robbers, enriching the treasury.But the other party only hoped to receive a reward of 100 taels of silver.
How is 100 taels enough?According to Wang Zhifu, 500 taels is also allowed.
Thinking this way in his heart, Wang Zhifu even did so, and told Master Gu: "Go to the account and take 500 taels of silver, and follow what the knight said in the letter, and bury it in the first place along the river on the east side of the northern suburbs. Under the nine willow trees, wait for the chivalrous man to send someone to fetch it."
Wang Zhifu and the others didn't find it strange that the unknown knight received the silver reward, because they all knew that some experts like to play with mystery.What's more, whether it was the other party's claim to be "nameless" or the fact that he chose not to show up in front of the government gate after throwing away the robbers and belongings, it all showed his intention not to reveal his true identity.
So although the way he received the reward was a bit strange, Wang Zhifu and the others understood it quite well.
"Catcher Zhang, you lead someone to lock the robbers into a cell. By the way, since the chivalrous men pretended to be ghosts to frighten them, they might say some ghostly nonsense when they wake up later. You don't need to pay attention." Master Gu, Wang Zhifu immediately said to Zhang Butou.
Master Gu nodded to Zhang Butou, and immediately went down to handle the matter.
In a corner opposite the yamen, a ghost woman left with a smile.
She was grandma's subordinate who stayed behind to guard the robbers and property just in case. After grandma and the female ghosts put away their things and left, she hid near the yamen.
She had listened to all the conversations between the people in Wang Zhifu just now, and she understood that Liu Qingyu's plan had succeeded, so of course she had to rush back to Lanruo Temple to announce the good news.
Not long after the ghost woman left, an interesting incident about Liu Qingyu happened in the yamen.
Master Gu quickly prepared 500 taels of silver. Before handing over the money bag to the yamen servant, Wang Zhifu checked it again and found that there was an extra 50 taels of silver and a reply letter, which was a bit strange, so he frowned and looked at Master Gu.
Master Gu was extremely calm. He shook off the letter paper, pointed to the words on it and said, "That's right, I think the words written by Wuming Hero are a bit ugly, worse than my 15-year-old son, so I personally gave 50 taels Silver, I hope the knights will buy more paper and ink to practice calligraphy."
Wang Zhifu also felt that there was something wrong with the chivalrous handwriting. He stared at Gu Shiye with admiration and said, "Your idea is very good. If this is the case, then I will add 50 taels privately, and send some pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
The miscellaneous things were piled up together, and what was buried under the willow tree became a big package.
In this way, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, 100 taels of silver and the reply letter, which were full of expectations from Wang Zhifu and Master Gu, were sandwiched in a package containing 500 taels of reward silver, and lay in Liu Qingyu's arms overnight.
"One ingot, two ingots, three ingots...a total of 600 taels of silver, a total of 500 taels more, the magistrate is really a good man!"
Liu Qingyu sat on the steps, counting the silver ingots with bright eyes, and the trembling roe deer was at her feet.Careful Nie Xiaoqian bandaged its wound and kept it clean. Although the roe deer was trembling non-stop, it seemed to be in good spirits.
Liu Qingyu glanced at Zhang Zijing, and said angrily: "How many times do you have to explain it before you believe it? My grandma and sisters don't eat you. They will let you go home when your hind legs can run normally. You will be injured." You ran around and fainted somewhere, or fell into the hands of someone stupid and suffered. So can you stop shaking? You are not too tired to panic from shaking from morning to noon."
Zhang Zijing was trembling while beckoning Ai Ai and said: "I'm not crying because of this, but because the eyes of the horses behind me are too scary, as if they are going to swallow me alive, I really can't control myself not to shake. Even if you don't want to help, Mr. I'll chase them away, but it's okay to take me to another place to stay."
Zhang Zijing was very wronged, it always felt that the other party deliberately put itself under the noses of the horses.
"What does it mean to swallow you alive? They really like you!" Liu Qingyu patted the top of the deer's head, "You are already a mature deer, it's time to learn how to fall in love by yourself."
Liu Qingyu also felt that she was wronged. The horses followed him wherever he went the night before yesterday, making him think that he had unlocked the golden finger to please animals.
However, when he got up early yesterday morning, he found that the horses were surrounded by the deer ghost and refused to move a step. Liu Qingyu finally understood that he did not unlock the golden finger. The reason why the horses followed him was because of the female ghost. He carried the deer spirit and walked with him.
Ren Ma was not attracted by his domineering aura at all, but everyone fell in love with Zhang Zijing.
Knowing the truth, Liu Qingyu almost shed tears, and her glass heart shattered in an instant.
Zhang Zijing was so frightened that she shook her head desperately, "I don't want it! I don't want it! I'm still a child!"
"Zezi, don't be shy." After encouraging the spirit of the deer, Liu Qingyu said generously: "There are dozens of horses in the back, both male and female. You can choose whichever you like, or you can choose all of them."
That's right!Regardless of the stallion or the mare, they are all infatuated with the Zhangzi Jing!Sound amazing?
Liu Qingyu almost suspected that the deer spirit was the heartthrob Mary Sue in the animal world!
Without waiting for the deer spirit to react, he immediately said: "A horse and a donkey give birth to a mule, so what do you think the horse and deer will give birth to? I'm really curious."
After that, he tilted his head with a smile, and shot the roe zijing with his research eyes.
The roe deer shakes into a sieve, human beings are so scary!The deer is going to be scared to death!
At this moment, Zhang Zi felt that Liu Qingyu was ten thousand times more terrifying than grandma!
The vile Liu Qingyu bullied Zhangzi until tears filled her eyes, and she felt that she was done, so she continued to focus on the package.
Then, in the middle of a pile of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he saw the letters of love from Prefect Wang and Master Gu.Open it and look at the content above, and the expression cracked into pieces instantly with a click.
"Master Zhifu is really a good person. He actually cares about the situation of our little man's calligraphy practice, so he sent so many pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
"Isn't it?"
Liu Qingyu, who was immersed in her own thoughts, heard the voice of Nie Xiaoqian and the ghosts and immediately came back to her senses. When she noticed the grandmother who was holding the letter tightly, a bad premonition welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, grandma looked at him seriously. "It's actually worse than a 15-year-old boy. What the magistrate said is true. Qingyu, you should practice your calligraphy. From today on, you will spend one more hour every day practicing calligraphy."
Grandma, if I remember correctly, I am only eight years old this year.Isn't it normal to be inferior to a 15-year-old?Are you overestimating me?
Liu Qingyu decided to take back what she said just now that the magistrate is very good.
Grandma ignored his sad and indignant eyes and asked, "Six hundred silver is a lot. Now we not only have money for wine making, but we don't have to worry about living expenses for the time being. You need any materials and props for wine making. Write it down and I will order it tomorrow." The ghost woman went to the city to buy."
The matter is a foregone conclusion, Liu Qingyu has no way to make grandma change her mind, holding her cheeks in her hands, and said sullenly: "The water is directly used on our mountain, the basic material is rice, the higher the quality, the better."
"That's right, the wine making method I use is different from the current method of distillation, so I need to make a special vessel - a wine steamer. This thing must be made by a skilled craftsman. Tomorrow, the ghost mother-in-law will go out to buy food. I have to take my drawings to the craftsmen in Jinhua City to help build it."
Grandma nodded to show that she understood, took Liu Qingyu's drawing and left, and told her mother-in-law to go to work early tomorrow.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
After a short journey, when they came to the door, Wang Zhifu, Gu Shiye and others were already dripping with sweat.
In the open space directly in front of the two stone lions, a group of people on the left who were not good citizens at first glance fainted.There are many large wooden boxes on the right hand side, perhaps because of the carelessness of the porters, the lids of several boxes were opened, and the jewels, gold and silver contained in them poured out, eye-catching.
