Chapter 298 Prostitute, where to go!
The one who got off the carriage was actually not a thief, but a thief's father, an old thief... Well, it should be a thief's father, Wu Cheng, and Wu Master Wu.
Originally, Wu Chengzhi didn't have to come to Yanggu County. His son just took a concubine. He was not a matchmaker who just married his eldest wife. He didn't have to leave this time as a father.
But Wu Chengzhi is quite honest and always feels that his son is sorry for the heroine Ximen. Not only does it defame the heroine's innocence, but it also makes the heroine's belly bigger, but it can't be given the title of a formal house. Moreover, the Ximen family is not a small family. Although it cannot be compared with the current Wu family, it is also a powerful person.
Therefore, Master Wu still asked his son Wu Haogu to prepare a generous gift, and then went out to personally apologize to the Ximen family, and then grandly welcomed Ximen Qing back to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Although he came to apologize, he was still in a happy mood. After all, he was going to be a grandfather, how could he be unhappy? Moreover, both sons were promising. Wu Haogu became a military officer from the seventh rank, and Wu Haowen worked hard in the Imperial Academy, and maybe he would be in high school the next year.
In addition, the Wu family is so rich now! It’s rich, Christie’s is just a money tree. The business is getting bigger and bigger. Not only does it sell calligraphy, painting, literature and entertainment, but it has also recently started selling real estate, land, tricks (advertising space), flower boats, cars and horses, and even stunning female tricks... I really count the money and get cramps in my hands!
The album business is even more popular, and Chenliu's printing workshop is now running high-speed printing in short supply. Moreover, after Wu Haogu returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, he was still discussing the courtesan competition with various brothel stores in Kaifeng Prefecture for the coming year, and plans to release the same album in Daming Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Xuzhou and Haizhou.
In short, it is also a business that can’t even count money!
Now the Wu family is really going to have a great prosperity!
I was in a good mood and had a good appetite. After a morning of traveling, Wu Chengzhi entered Yanggu County and felt hungry, so he asked someone to ask where there was delicious food in Yanggu County. Grandma Ximen, who was traveling with him, immediately recommended Kaifeng cuisine from Jingonglou.
So Wu Chengzhi asked Wu Haogu, Brother Zhao Zhong, Lin Chong and others to settle down at Grandma Ximen's inn, and took some people to Jingong Tower to order food and have dinner.
As soon as he got off the car, Wu Chengzhi found a group of beakers rushing towards him.
Wu Chengzhi was a little surprised. What's going on? Why are these women so enthusiastic? It seems that they don't know them?
Lao Wu looked closely and found that it was all vulgar powder... Well, even vulgar powder was not considered a vulgar powder. It was just a few village girls who had to look like nothing but look like nothing, and had to be figured. There were a few slightly older female envoys in his mansion who were more attractive than them.
Judging from their clothes, they are clearly prostitutes who sell themselves but not their skills. Wu Chengzhi shook his head. Although he hadn't touched a woman for several days, he was a gentleman. How could he do such an unfair thing?
"Go away, go away."
A leader of Panlou Street who followed Wu Chengzhi to coax people with a few minions, but was stopped by Wu Chengzhi: "Don't have trouble when you go out... If you have any favors, go and have fun. No matter how much you spend, you will come to report it to me."
"Xie Lao Junwai!"
"Xie Junwai!"
"Thank you, the outsider!"
A group of idle men were not as picky as Wu Chengzhi. When they heard this, they all thanked them and hugged the "famous prostitutes" in Yanggu who were dressed up in beauty and went to Jiufang Pavilion to have fun. Only the old manager of Ximen Grandma Inn and a servant from the Wu family followed Wu Chengzhi and entered the Jingong Tower together.
"Uncle Jiu, the traitor has entered Jingong Tower!"
Fan Zhijin's eldest nephew shouted loudly, "Do you want someone to arrest the official?"
The Fan family is a family of scholars and officials, and has the right to capture "thieves" and unscrupulous people who are unscrupulous (such as those who resist renting) to send them to officials!
In addition, most of the clerks in Yanggu County are from the Fan family or relatives of the Fan family (and a small part of them are from the Ximen family), and about half of the archers of Weisi are also from the Fan family. The people of the Ximen family are more capable of shooting arrows, but they are not interested in acting as archers, and they usually pay money to be exempted from service.
So as long as Fan Jiuxiu gave the order, the yamen runners in Yanggu County would also send them to capture the fat thief and send him to the official!
On the surface, Yanggu County was a county magistrate sent by the Song Dynasty court, and the chief clerk and county magistrate were in charge, but in fact it was the Fan family and the Ximen family. Moreover, because the Fan family belonged to the literati, it was even more powerful and was the first family in Yanggu County - "Only high schooling" had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this era! Therefore, the aristocratic families were not as much money as fists, but rather on the number of Jinshi masters.
When Mr. Zhang frowned when he heard the words of "Nephew Ximen"! He is the county magistrate! If you want to ask for instructions, you should ask for instructions from the county magistrate.
However, even though he frowned, he still looked at Fan Zhijin and Fan Dasai.
As a ninth-rank civil servant who was born in a Jinshi, Zhang Kegong certainly knew the truth that "it is not difficult to govern and not offend the giant family."
Fan Zhijin said: "Brother Jie Zhong, why not take this traitor to the county government for a question?"
Ask, it’s not so easy to come out!
Fan Zhijin also saw that Wu Chengzhi was a businessman. Even if there was a general behind him as a backstage, his identity as a businessman would determine how much he would suffer in this dispute... Unless the leader of the general behind him was willing to forcibly stand up.
But what if you can do the Fan family in Yanggu? Just a bad servant who hooks up with a good family. Even if the head of the family makes his debut, he will not dare to take revenge on a family of scholars and officials like the Fan family. Otherwise, there would be a censor who would have to participate in his domineering behavior.
Generals are the ones who are most afraid of others saying they are domineering...
"Oh." Zhang Kegong just responded, not commenting.
He is the general's disciple himself, and of course he is not afraid of other generals to rectify. He is now a Jinshi! He is the treasure of the generals of Kaifeng Prefecture, what are he afraid of?
But who knows what acquaintance is behind the fat man? How embarrassing then? So I don’t know about this matter... After the fat thief is sent to Weisi under his jurisdiction, he will ask him to give him a few thousand pieces of money to apologize to the Fan family!
Judging from him like that, he is not short of money.
Fan Zhijin nodded and said to his eldest nephew: "Go to the county government to find your fifth uncle and ask him to arrange a archer to get the people."
"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Kegong suddenly coughed twice.
Fan Zhijin added: "Don't hurt that thief."
"Good!"
...
The old traitor Wu Chengzhi didn't know that he would be implicated by his son at this time. He had just entered the best private room in Jingong Building accompanied by the old manager of Grandma Ximen's inn, accompanied by Old Man Zhou, the old manager of Grandma Ximen's house. The boss of Jingong Building and Ximen Yu, who was the same generation as Ximen He, also came out to entertain himself.
Unlike most of the children of the Ximen family, Ximen Yu did not like fighting and killing since childhood, and was very greedy, so he liked to have some delicious food. Although he also learned martial arts under the forced force of his father, he did not make any name in the world. Instead, he retired and opened a Jingong Building, which is also famous throughout Yunzhou. This Jingong Building in Yanggu County is just the main store, and has semicolons in Xucheng (the capital of Yunzhou Prefecture), Pingyin, Shouzhang, Dong'a, Zhongdu and other counties. He also planned to open the Jingong Building where the main food was opened and opened to the place outside Yunzhou in the future.
"Then the official of the Wu Da is the son of the imperial concubine? This is really..."
Knowing Wu Chengzhi's origin, Ximen Yu could only smile bitterly and bow.
"Dalang... I'm really sorry for your family." Wu Chengzhi also felt sorry for the Ximen family. After knowing that Ximen Yu was Ximen Qing's uncle, he quickly apologized. "When I see Mr. Ximen, I will definitely ask my incompetent son to kowtow to his old man."
Not a weapon? Ximen Yuxin said: He was only 21 years old and was over 7th grade, but he still couldn't become a weapon? If he became a weapon, wouldn't he have to be the prime minister?
"No, no, no." Ximen Yu shook his head, "No need to see my elder brother anymore, he is not in Yanggu County."
"Not here?" Wu Chengzhi thought: Could it be that he refused to forgive his Dalang and deliberately avoided him?
"That sister..."
"She is here, she is here." Ximen Yu said, "She has a body and is inconvenient to walk around. She is in Yanggu County... By the way, where is Wu Dalang?"
"He went to Grandma Ximen's inn and came over after he was settled."
Wu Haogu, Brother Zhao Zhong and Lin Chong were "fully armed" and were holding horses and luggage, so they always had to settle down.
"Then we'll go to the big house to see Qing'er after we finish our meal."
"Okay, that's it."
When Wu Chengzhi nodded in agreement, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
"Catch the thief!"
"Don't let the thief run away!"
"Hurry, hurry up, guard the window, the stairs..."
Wu Haogu was slightly surprised when he heard the shouts outside. Yanggu County looked very simple and simple, so how could there be traitors? Could it be that they came down from Liangshan?
Just as he was thinking about the "Liangshan thief", someone kicked open the door of the private room where Wu Chengzhi was. He saw several strong men with bows and arrows coming in. He was the first to be a yamen officer wearing a round-neck shirt and a slutty head. Ximen Yu recognized him and stepped forward to argue, "Fan Wulang, what are you doing?"
"I'm ordered to arrest the thief!" The messenger called Fan Wulang replied, pointing to Wu Chengzhi sitting on the chair, "Is he a thief?"
"Idiot... thief?" Wu Chengzhi was startled by the accusation and quickly explained, "This officer made a mistake. I can be honest businessman, not a lewd... thief."
"Oh," Fan Wulang smiled, "Are you a businessman?"
"Yes, yes." Wu Chengzhi was also tactful and immediately took out a small silver tinge from the letter bag and handed it to him for a Changsui, asking him to give it to Fan Wuro.
Fan Wulang took Yinting and weighed it, "Did you come from Kaifeng Prefecture?"
"Yes," Wu Chengzhidao, "I am a calligraphy and painting businessman from Kaifeng Prefecture..."
"But come to find Sister Ximen?"
"yes……"
Fan Wulang sneered: "That's right! Come on, take this traitor down for me!"
