Clam Pearl

But he said, those 34 strong men robbed more than [-] storytellers from the Earth Temple, no!Civil man!

They put people on their shoulders, lined up in two rows, and ran in small steps in Shangjingli Lane. When one was tired, he changed the back of the person next to him. This road was actually walking non-stop. The place attracted passers-by to watch, all stunned, and countless people bumped into trees and stumbled.

Ever since those brawny men snatched the "civil man", there have been street patrollers quietly following behind, and they saw them enter the gate of Ding Minsi's yamen as soon as they turned a corner.The street patrolling officials quietly wiped off their sweat, and ran back to report to their superiors without saying a word.

All of a sudden, more than 20 civilian men were forced into the Qianding Division, which is no small matter.Soon, this matter was reported to the Shangguan, and the Shangguan saw it, hey, it's the grandfather of the Gu family!I can't control it, report it!So the cases were reported layer by layer, the leader of the Forbidden Army in Shangjing, General Fengtian Li Zhai, and Master Li.Now in charge of the Ting Wei Department of civil lawsuits in Shanghai, there are four adults in the Ting Wei Department, who manage civil cases in Shanghai according to the division of east, west and north.It's a good thing to die, the Daopingli where the boy was robbed today belongs to Wei Dan, the Western Capital, and Mr. Wei is in charge. This Mr. Wei is not someone else, but the nephew of Mr. Ding Yingding, Duke of the Song Dynasty.

According to his seniority, if he should protect the descendants of the Emperor Star, he would call Chief Ding and Master Gu Zhaogu his uncles.The six stars of Protecting the Emperor are connected with each other, so there must be no chaos in this life.

How to do it?For a while, Master Wei Danwei wanted to cry, uncle!You are my dear father!

Usually he has scolded these storytellers, who is not good at editing, you go to arrange that young master, is that young master a good person?It's a good thing that he is still called wronged on weekdays. Let's see, these dandies in Beijing usually don't cause trouble. As the head of the big dandies, Gu Zhao Gu Qiye is of high class and never makes trouble.That's all right now, if you don't make a fuss, if you make a fuss and do such a thing, wouldn't you put on a sack in the middle of the night?Can you not wear sacks in broad daylight?Do you dare to cover the block with a sack?Why are you coming to the west?

What should I do, if I sue, it will be disrespectful to the Gu family. After all, they are also distant relatives, right?But if you don't report it, you will be dereliction of duty!Mr. Wei walked around the house a few times, but there was nothing he could do. He sent someone to deliver a letter to Pingzhou Alley, and at the same time delivered a letter to his uncle Dingying, while reporting to his superiors. Who is not afraid of taking responsibility!

After the report, Lord Wei Dan hurriedly put on his official uniform, took a sedan chair and went out. The young master came from the Wu family. If it was a black hand, it would be good if he killed someone. It would be difficult to deal with it. People, hurry up and watch it!

This way, the sedan chair was rushing, Master Wei kept urging, the board of the sedan chair was almost smashed by him.Seeing that he was approaching the place, he didn't expect that there was a group of people coming over there. When Master Wei opened the sedan chair curtain, he didn't expect that it was Fengtian General Li Zhai.Just as he was about to shout to get off the sedan chair, Master Li Zhai was also very worried. Originally, his family and the Gu family looked down on each other, but now if he provokes Gu Zhao, that one has six older brothers, whoever is a dog Temperament, donkey temper, if you say you turn your back, you will turn your back!

He is a six-star protector of the emperor, and his holy favor lasts forever, so he didn't want to provoke him, so he only sent a letter to Jinshang, and then sent a letter to Pingzhou Alley, and he came to watch because he was afraid of killing people .Arousing public outrage is a big deal.

As soon as Li Zhai saw Mr. Wei, he waved his hands: "Hurry up and hurry up, what's the point of showing, let's go, let's go."

So the two of them, one riding a horse and the other sitting in a sedan chair, asked each other while running.

Mr. Wei raised the curtain of the sedan chair and asked first, "How did the general come here?"

Li Zhai smiled wryly: "Gu Laoqi, this bastard, ransacked 21 teahouses in Fangshi today, put all the storytellers in sacks, and went to his yamen, what's the matter?"

Wei Dan was immediately delighted, Yo!He is not the only unlucky one with his feelings. He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he said: "Don't dare to lie to the general, today at the alley land temple fair, Gu... Mr. Gu captured a lot of people. It's not that it's unlucky to be an official, but I happen to be in charge of it."

Hey, the two were relatively speechless, so they had to urge the horse to urge the horse, and the bearer to urge the bearer.In a blink of an eye, the two came to the gate of Qiandingsiya, Li Zhai got off his horse, hey, isn't this the guard of that old guy Gu Yan from the Ministry of War?Many of them are familiar to him, why are these people wearing the clothes of low-level yamen servants to work here?

Li Zhai got off his horse, stood at the door and said to those people: "Go in quickly and pass the news, just say that Li Zhai has arrived." He didn't dare to take the title, he was inferior to Gu Zhao in terms of title.

After Mr. Wei got off the sedan chair, his attitude was even better, and he followed Li Zhai. He was tall and could withstand disasters.

Who knew that the guard smiled, opened the door and said to the two of them: "So that the two adults know, my adults have said that whoever comes can just go in, and there is no need to report."

Li Zhai sighed helplessly, had no choice but to throw away his whip and walk inside with his hands behind his back.He entered the yard, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw the dilapidated yamen in the yard in the past, but now it is clean and tidy, and there are brand-new screen walls now.

After passing the screen wall, there are two rows of houses on both sides of the big courtyard, all of which have been repainted. Interestingly, a large gazebo was built in the middle of the courtyard. Now some scholars are sitting or standing in the pavilion. A person is holding a roll of bamboo scrolls and looking at it seriously.Some people came in without looking up, just doing their own business.

Li Zhai looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he didn't see any errands. He had no choice but to walk along the side to the middle courtyard. Shulu is copying something on the scroll. All the way, there are thirteen or four rooms on the right, all of which are like this.

After walking for a while, the smell of steamed stuffed buns suddenly rushed towards him. Li Zhai's face was distorted, and when he turned his head, he saw that at a corner of the house, a large section of the roof of a bamboo shed suddenly protruded from the corner of the open air.

Under the shed, on the left and right sides are two rows of newly built fourteen-five-hole stoves.On the left side is a teapot that is bubbling and steaming, and there are seven or eight small handymen who are hurriedly boiling water to make tea, and they keep serving it outside.On the stove on the right side, there is white smoke coming out of a large steamer with seven or eight floors. It smells like it is steaming buns.

Li Zhai breathed in, it smelled good, and his stomach, which was already hungry, started to growl.

"This... this, this!" Li Zhai pointed with trembling fingers and was just about to scold, but he didn't expect a wild laugh from the backyard: "Ahaha! This paragraph is good, just this paragraph, hurry up and tell me, hurry up !"

Hearing the sound, Li Zhai walked quickly to the backyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the front of the outer hall of the middle courtyard was newly paved with large and spacious green bricks.On the brick surface, there are more than ten large mats on the left and right!There were four or fifty people kneeling on both sides of the mat, no need to ask, this is the storyteller who was taken captive.

Looking up, Li Zhai sucked in a breath of air. Sitting outside the main hall in the middle were the leaders of the Beijing playboys, Gu Lao Qi and Gu Zhao.

I saw Gu Zhao eating happily with a big bun in his hand, but he was not wearing an official uniform in the Yamen, he was only wearing a light green undershirt, his hair on his head was tied up with a net towel, and he hugged him. A round golden tassel of silk leads to a pillow, half sitting and half lying on a low bed of boxwood.There is a long table next to the couch, on which there are melons, pears and peaches, as well as dried fruits.Behind him stood an ancient screen inlaid with jade. Maybe it was hot, but there were two slightly dark-faced girls standing behind Gu Qiye's head and feet, holding two fans with white peacock feathers. Take it to fan him.

Under the steps, there is now a circular wooden platform one foot above the ground, which looks like the circle drawn by the storyteller.Now there is a storyteller standing on the round platform, holding a castanet in his hand, and he is telling a story with a lot of snot and tears. It is better to say that he is crying a grave than a storyteller.

"Gu Laoqi!" Li Zhai was furious, standing there and shouting.

Gu Zhao was taken aback, swallowed the bun in his mouth and raised his head to ask, "Yo, who is this? I haven't seen it before, that one? What are you making so much noise about? I'm so scared!"

Li Zhai came in a hurry. He was originally in the school grounds, so he only wore a solid outfit. He and Gu Zhao had never had the chance to meet each other before, and they had never been in the same place.

That Wei Dan was clever, and quickly stood aside and introduced: "This is Fengtian General Li Zhai, Master Li, and now General Li is still the leader of the Imperial Guards in Shangjing! My subordinate Wei Dan, I greet..." Wei Dan thought about it, business Let's talk about the official position: "Meet Mr. Gu, the next official is the captain of Shangjing West."

Gu Zhao nodded, he looked left and right, stretched his legs and got up from the couch, and immediately a servant put his shoes on, and before the servant lifted the heels, he ran to the two sides in small steps. The person in front of him clasped his fists with a smile and said: "The two elder brothers have invited you. Why do you have time to visit my younger brother today? The younger brother's yamen has just opened, and I haven't had a colleague come to visit. It's a great honor. It's just in time for dinner. Today Qian Dingsi eats big buns, why not taste..."

Li Zhai was helpless, so he could only wave his hands and say, "Gu Laoqi, don't pretend to be confused!" After he finished speaking, he pointed to the courtyard and said, "What's the matter? You have kidnapped someone and you have to give us an explanation." Bar?"

On the other hand, Wei Dan shyly said: "Don't dare to be my lord, in terms of seniority, a lower official should be called your uncle. Seniority can't be messed up, you say so!"

Gu Zhao laughed, but did not answer Li Zhai's question. He turned around and asked Wei Dan, who was in his 40s, "Yo, so my nephew, which family do you belong to?" It was posted in the official uniform, so I apologized embarrassingly: "It's inconvenient today, nephew, I will make you a meeting gift some other day. By the way, which sister of mine gave birth to you? I don't have any sister..." Gu Zhao was Think carefully about how his father engages in minor affairs outside. His father had a lot of concubines at the time. If this grandma was to be like his father, she would have to be a minor.

"Gu Laoqi!!! Don't pretend to be stupid, tell me quickly, what's going on!" Li Zhai was furious, glared at Wei Dan, and shouted again. Suddenly a louder voice came: "Li Zhuwa, who are you scaring?"

Just after the shout, Master Gu Yan ran in from the outside, maybe he came too fast, Master Gu was wearing a loose homely robe, his hair was fluffy, he didn't wear socks on his feet, and he was pulling a pair of wooden clogs on his bare feet. Da, Gada's entered the yard, and once in the yard, he didn't look at anyone else, and went to the little brother first.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he swung his little brother from side to side, stroked him up and down affectionately, and then patted his head and said, "Mo Mao, we are not afraid! Li Heizhu's family has such a loud voice, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with him. At home, I will ask your sister-in-law to donate a few pens to the temple and read scriptures for a few days to calm you down."

Li Zhai and Wei Dan greeted each other together, there was no way, the duke was a very big class.Now even the prince is half-respectful when he sees him.

Gu Yan stared: "I said...you two, it's fine, you have nothing to do, and you don't have a good meal with the family at noon, what are you doing to scare our Xiao Qi?"

Li Zhai had no choice but to say, "My lord, just take a look at this courtyard."

Gu Yan looked back and sighed, "Yo, what is Xiao Qi playing with here?"

Li Zhai sighed: "My lord doesn't know, the thing is like this..."

So, these two people started to sue with you and me, and after the complaint, they gave Gu Zhao a look, and then looked at Gu Yan, meaning, look, get used to it!It's a big disaster, it's time!

Gu Yan rubbed his chin, looked at Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao blinked his eyes, very innocent.

So Gu Yan nodded, and said to Li Zhai with a serious face: "Master Li, now there is a new law, and officials are not allowed to listen to books while eating?" He turned around and scolded Gu Zhao: "Little bastard, you I’ve only been on errands for a few days, isn’t it good to go home and listen to books? It’s so boring to listen to these rough old men’s stories! Xiao Qi, it’s not my brother talking about you, it’s not right! You pay the money quickly and send them back. You pick two fair-skinned and big-breasted storytelling girls, and I'll tell you... Hehe, I'm sure you'll love to listen to it!"

Master Wei staggered, leaning on the low wall in the yard, deeply helpless, with this practice, he would not be surprised that Gu Laoqi would burn the capital tomorrow!

Gu Zhao laughed, and patted his brother's hand: "Brother, I'm on business."

Gu Yan's eyes lit up: "Business? Really? No nonsense?"

Gu Zhao nodded with a serious face: "No, how about this, first invite the two adults to sit down, and the old brother also invites to come over, and let me share with you in detail."

The three of them looked at each other, and they could only follow Gu Zhao to the outer room of the main room. It was only a short while here, and the low couch had already been moved down, but four boxwood armchairs were replaced and put away.In this way, the four of them sat down according to the size of their official positions. After Gu Zhao sat down, he pointed to the people in the yard and said to Wei Dan: "Master Wei, in fact, if you don't come today, I will go to find you later..."

Mr. Wei expressed his confusion and would like to hear more about it.

Gu Zhao was about to explain, but didn't want to, Xizai ran in from the outside, knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the yard, first saluted one by one, and then said to Gu Zhao: "Qiye, the time is up, you should apologize!"

Gu Zhao looked at Tian'er, it's not time, so he stood up, looked at his elder brother, then at Mr. Li and Mr. Wei, and said, "You two gentlemen, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhao waved his hand and said, "Please come out with my parents."

When he said this, Li Zhai spit out a mouthful of tea in fright, and Gu Yan was also stunned.

The three looked at it for a while, and two servants carried a long and short case to the east of the yard to set it up.Then Gu Zhao rushed into the main room, and after a while, he came out holding a pair of spirit tablets, on which were written his father's and his mother's names.

Gu Zhao ran out, and Xizai had already arranged the offerings.Gu Zhao ran to the case, first put the coffin in place respectfully, then burned incense and prayed, confessed his sins, then lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and remained motionless.

The family's father, mother, and father were there, and the people here were all juniors. Li Zhai and the others didn't dare to sit down anymore, and they all stood aside with Gu Yan, who had a distorted face.

Li Zhai cautiously went over and asked in a low voice, "Master Guo, your seventh son, what did you say?"

Gu Yan stared: "Last year, he made a mistake, and the old man knelt down every day to plead guilty. Whenever he said he was wrong, he would be spared from kneeling! Although the old man is a rough person, he still has a lot of knowledge in educating children." Experience! En!"

Li Zhai immediately admired him. It turned out that Lord Gu Yan is not such a bastard as he thought. He also has family rules, and even this family rule, tsk tsk... Look, how strict the implementation is, and the children in the family are so obedient!

For this point, it is understandable that the Li family is not as good as the Gu family. You must learn, you must learn!The bastard's second child made a lot of troubles, he wrote a letter immediately when he got home, and asked someone to make a set of parental spirit cards and send them to Wukang, and he was also punished, and he had to be severely punished, so he seemed to have a family education and face!

The long incense burnt slowly, and finally Gu Zhao knelt down for enough hours. After he was lifted up, Gu Yan looked distressed, ran over to look at his little brother's knees, and cursed himself secretly, but now someone Here, he couldn't show his timidity, pointing at his younger brother and reprimanding loudly: "Have you apologized to your parents?"

Gu Zhao replied very modestly: "Brother Hui, please forgive me!"

Gu Yan said again: "Are you convinced?"

Gu Zhao patted his knees, straightened his waist and raised his neck, and said disdainfully: "I don't agree!"

Gu Yan gritted his teeth immediately: "Then continue to kneel!"

Gu Zhao smiled and nodded: "Well, will you come to see me kneeling tomorrow?"

Gu Yan was furious: "The old man won't come!"

"If you don't come, then you won't come!" Gu Zhao said with a smile, looking at the two adults who couldn't help laughing and laughing. Now they have stood by their side for a long time. They must be hungry, so he ordered someone to set up a square table and invite them On the seat of honor, another person served four large plates of big buns, and one person brought up another bowl of egg soup.

These two were really hungry, so they backed down a bit, then sat down, picked up the buns and took a bite, um... not to mention, the skin is thin and the stuffing is big, it is very delicious, and it is served with fresh egg soup, It is more moist.While eating, Gu Zhao suddenly said: "You two, it's no fun to eat like this, why don't you ask them to talk for a while, just to make fun of it."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the two adults to agree, so he casually pointed to the person kneeling below and said, "You, go up and talk, start from the beginning, it's not good! Be careful of your dog's head... ouch!"

Gu Yan slapped Gu Zhao from behind his head.

Gu Zhao endured for a while, pointed at the round platform and glared, "Go!"

The storyteller, holding the shoulders of the person next to him, walked onto the round stage trembling and crying.

Li Zhai had no choice but to sigh deeply, and took a sip of the egg soup from the bowl, but when he heard the toothbrush beating, the storyteller cried and said, "Everyone, today... woo woo... …It’s about… wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!”

"puff!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For a moment, egg flowers danced all over the sky...
