Chapter 164： Tricky little guy

Chapter 164 The Troublesome Little Person

Santai replied: "The sister-in-law of Bi Changgui, a small official in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zhao Lan frowned, he was actually from the Ministry of Husbandry, which was under the jurisdiction of the second prince.

Where have you heard of Su Ruojin? Oh, she remembered, "Isn't this person a patrolman from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?" She once wanted to eat Su Ji's stall, but she didn't expect that three years later, he showed up again. Don't you know that the Su family Do you have thighs now?

Huaping glanced at the young master. Two years ago, Bi Changgui's errand in the Army and Horse Division was taken away. As for who did it, who did it? It was right in front of him. Zhao Lan had not been Su Yanli's student for a long time at that time. I got angry for the teacher.

“When did you invest in the Ministry of Household Affairs?”

Santai replied: "Three months ago, Bi Changgui joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs (in charge of sending and receiving documents, inspecting deficiencies, and supervising seals, etc., with a rank of eight). He worked under Hong Mancang as a clerk collecting market taxes. He looks unassuming on the street, but he is ruthless and dares to accept any money. He is called Bi Duzi by people in the East and West episodes. "

Bi Changgui was an accomplice of Hong Mancang, and Hong Mancang was an accomplice of Hubu. I heard that he was very popular with Fang Wenzhong, the minister of Hubu.

Fang Wenzhong is a confidant of the second prince.

I didn’t expect to meet a troublesome little person during the Chinese New Year.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Lan gave Su Ruojin a map of the power distribution of Prince Dayin. The Ministry of Household Affairs was the center of power for the most capable second prince. No wonder the Shi brothers dared to brazenly enter Su Ji to steal things.

Zhao Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Put aside Bi for now. Brother Shi will take care of the food for me."

“Yes, young master.” Santai went to make arrangements again.

Shi Liu threw away his walking stick and knelt down with a bang, "Noble... Noble, my sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces are also very difficult to deal with."

Everyone looked at him.

Shi Liu's face turned pale with fear, but he still braved the situation and said, "You imprisoned my three brothers. They have lost their livelihood and will definitely come to Suji to cause trouble."

It’s really troublesome.

Zhao Lan moved her fingers slightly twice and stood up, "Ajin, I'll take you back."

Su Ruojin was still thinking about the possibility of Shi Liu's story, so she jumped home and said, "No need to bother, Uncle Shu and his mule cart are waiting at the door."

“My car is warm.”

This...it is true that Prince Zhao's carriage has always had a charcoal fire. How could the Su family's mule carriage have the luxury of putting a charcoal brazier on it for a temporary trip? But for a short distance, Su Ruojin really didn't want him to give it away. I always felt that Zhao Lan now Weird and awkward to get along with.

Zhao Lan asked the young lady to refuse, so she put on her cloak and waited for her to go out.

All right! Su Ruojin had no choice but to take his carriage home. When he opened the door, he tiptoed back to the room like a thief. After a while, the night without moon and stars, except for the howling northwest wind, was like a black ocean.

At the entrance of the alley, Shuang Rui held a lantern. Zhao Lan looked at the Su family in the alley through the dim light. The night was so dark that he couldn't even see the outline of the Su family. He sighed softly and turned around, "Look for Prince Wei." ”

“Yes, young master.”

Shuangrui knew that the young master was asking Prince Wei to help deal with the troubled historian. He secretly shook his head. Whenever there was an issue with the Su family, the young master always took care of it personally, even on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Su Ruojin didn’t know exactly how the three brothers of the Shi family were sentenced until February of next year. Since ancient times, the crime of robbery has been more serious than the crime of theft, and the Dayin Dynasty was no exception. The three brothers of the Shi family were sentenced to ten years, and their wives and children were also deported. He returned to his hometown and was issued a document. If he did not have an official document from the government, he would not be allowed to enter the capital. Anyone who entered the capital would be punished as a crime.

The sentence was not light, but Su Ruojin was not sympathetic. I heard from Shi Liu that the three brothers of the Shi family bullied and cheated students in the poor alleys in the north of the city and had not been doing their jobs properly. In order to survive under the three brothers, Shi Er slept at home without a handful of firewood on his waist. When fighting with the brothers, he would cut them with life-threatening knives. Only in this way did the three brothers dare not sell his children, and only the food they earned could feed their children.

Uncle Shi is so cruel? Su Ruojin couldn't imagine that he looked like a nice and kind person in front of her, and lamented what the harsh living environment had done to people.

Thinking of the hard days in the past, they were infinitely better than those of being a historian. Su Ruojin patted her heart and said, "Fortunately, my father is a civil servant. At least the money he earns can support us." Su Keji placed a bench in his accounting room. , a soft mat was spread on it, and Hua lay half flat on it. He had been busy from the end of last year to the end of the first month of this year. After the New Year, they, the detective spies, finally had time to take a breath.

Hearing Su Ruojin's emotion, he smiled weakly, rested his arms on the back of his head, and squinted his eyes to rest.

Qiuyue is good at taking care of common affairs. The beads in the abacus clicked. Su Ruojin glanced at her, then turned to look at Uncle Hua, who was not a formal figure. She shook her head and clicked her tongue, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were a thief last night."

Huaping ignored the little lady's teasing. He was really tired to death. He wanted to sleep wherever he went. After thinking about it, he really wanted to sleep. He cheered up and said, "Don't call me at noon." He wanted to have a good sleep. .

He really turned out to be a thief.

Su Ruojin felt funny and shouted behind him, "I will go to Wenshan Street to check the accounts tomorrow, will you go?"

“What should I do?” Huaping didn’t stop.

“Be my coachman!”

“Look for your book, Uncle Tong.”

“Uncle Shutong is busy.” Su Ruojin walked a few steps to catch up with him and said with a flattering smile, “Go ahead and make ginseng soup for you to refresh your mind.”

Finally, Huaping stopped and asked, "Can I eat it when I wake up?"

Su Ruojin nodded.

“That’s okay.” He looked like he was reluctant for the sake of the food.

Su Ruojin smiled and did not disturb his sleep. She waved her hand and told him to go to bed quickly. She turned and went to the workshop.

Brother Feng Dashi and others are preparing the ingredients for the stall, and Shi Liu is also sitting at his work station carefully skewering vegetarian dishes.

Except for Shi Er and Shi Liu, all the historians left the capital. The two brothers seemed to have escaped from their cages and were finally free. From now on, they no longer had to live in fear.

Su Ruojin glanced at Shi Liu, who was in good spirits, then turned and went to the kitchen to find Dong's mother.

Mother Dong was preparing lunch. When she saw the little lady coming, she turned around happily and said, "Mother Jin, have you checked the account?"

Su Ruojin nodded, "How about Er Shi's wife?"

“People are a little honest, but they are better if they are willing to work hard.”

Ershi got married during the Chinese New Year this year and brought his new daughter-in-law over. When Father Feng sent the children over, he said to Su Ruojin, "There were many people who wanted to be my Ershi's daughter-in-law. He finally chose one who was good at cooking." As an honest person, I hope the couple can stay together for a long time.”

Su Ruojin asked, "Didn't Brother Dashi and Brother Ershi ever think about starting their own independent business?"

Father Feng smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Second Lady, of course I have thought about it, but the longer I stay in the capital, the more I know that in a small business, if no one is protecting you, you will be exploited by others, but you can still make money. "

This is true. If the Su family didn't have thighs, they would probably be eaten to pieces.

There is another watch in the evening, family members.
