early morning.
The sun was bright and high in the sky, and Zhou Dagu had two dark circles on his face.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't do it last night.
It was a gloomy day, Bai Huahong opened his eyes, and when he saw the face of the boy beside him, Bang Bang was like two punches!
Zhou Dagu helplessly covered his dark circles and looked at the girl who shyly ran away. He was really well-proportioned and worthy of being a martial arts practitioner.
He stretched and just sat down when Wang An came from outside, holding a big meat bun wrapped in lotus leaves in his arms: "Brother Gu, did Sister Ran take the wrong medicine today?"
"He asked me to go out to buy steamed buns before dawn and gave me one tael of silver directly. I waited at the steamed bun shop for a long time before the lady boss had the money to change it for me!"
Zhou Dagu pinched a bun that smelled like meat: "It's not that I took the wrong medicine! It's that I got rich!"
Yesterday, Zhou Dagu discussed with Du Zhoumu that all the money received from the Yang family should be returned to the poor families and 28 cents should be divided between the rich merchants.
Zhou Dagu boldly refused Du Zhoumu's offer to give him money.
He firmly stated that everything he did was to help Qingxue Mansion eradicate this great scourge of the Yang family, and he had absolutely no selfish motives.
Du Zhoumu also understood that he reluctantly pretended not to know what happened that night when Yang Dezu and Zhou Dagu were doing business.
The 50,000 taels of silver notes that had been hidden on Xu Dian were truly ownerless.
No, these banknotes are now named Zhou!
Last night, in order to let Zhou Youran go back to the house without delaying things, Zhou Dagu gave the young housekeeper 20,000 taels in silver notes.
Wang An slowly approached Zhou Dagu: "Brother Gu, did you know? There is indeed a female ghost in our house. In the middle of the night last night, I went out to pee and heard a woman laughing wildly in the yard!"
Zhou Dagu shook his head helplessly.
"Death Wang An, what are you talking about!" Zhou Youran finished washing herself and came out of the kitchen with hot water.
Wang An slowly approached her without knowing whether to live or die: "Sister Ran, did you hear last night that there was a female ghost giggling in our small courtyard, as if she was saying that she should be killed if she gets mad! Otherwise, let's move! "
Zhou Youran pouted: "Are you scared?"
"That's for sure, female ghost! Who is not afraid of it?"
"I know a way to subdue the female ghost!"
"Sister Ran, teach me!"
"Female ghosts are most afraid of dirty things. If you clean the toilet today, no female ghosts will come looking for you!"
"Really?" Wang An opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Then I'll go right now!"
Zhou Dagu looked at his back with a look of helplessness on his face: "Of course, why are you fooling a stupid kid!"
"Who told him to say that I smile like a ghost in the first place! Where is Sister Bai?"
"This!" Bai Huahong walked out of the room and looked at Zhou Dagu: "What did you do last night?"
Zhou Youran left voluntarily.
Zhou Dagu frowned and shook his head: "You didn't do anything!"
"What a fool!" Bai Huahong walked out of the courtyard angrily.
Zhou Dagu was stunned and punched his thigh: "What a sin!"
If I had known you could say that, in the middle of the night, I would have walked through the forest of Liangjie Mountain to go to the Blood Dragon Valley!
With a bun in my belly, Zhou Dagu walked to the east room and kicked the door: "It's time to go to school!"
The door is open!
Zhu Xiaowu stood at the door, two marks appeared on his head: "You two are quarreling, please open your eyes for me!"
Inside the school.
In order to apologize to Zhu Xiaowu, Zhou Dagu told another story about the romance in the Yunlan Sect (well... not this version)... the story!
As soon as he entered the school, Zhou Dagu noticed that something was wrong. The students seemed to look at him with great respect, and there was a hint of licking the dog in the respect.
"I've seen you, Zhou Mingzhou!"
"Good morning Zhou Mingzhou!"
"Zhou Mingzhou, this dress is so beautiful!"
"I've been wearing it for two days! Does it look good today?" Zhou Dagu replied stiffly: "Everyone, classmates, if you have anything to say, just tell me, there is no need to give Zhou a fascination like this!"
Zhu Jinwen, who was crawling on the desk, woke up from his sleep and stretched himself: "After the fall of the Yang family, these scholars who originally relied on the Yang family were afraid of your revenge, so they naturally wanted to be friends with you!"
Zhou Dagu asked casually: "I am just an ordinary little scholar, what can I do to retaliate against them?"
Zhu Jinwen's eyes widened: "You don't know, your literary name of Zhou Dagu is spread in the market now. If it weren't for the Lotus Sect's pearls and jade, people might regard you as a saint!"
Zhou Dagu was confused in his heart. On his way here in the morning, he saw the people looking at him unusually. He thought it was normal respect for scholars, but he didn't expect that it was his own unique treatment.
who is it?
Who is trying to kill me in the dark?
"Brother Zhu, do you know why these are all happening?"
Zhu Jinwen stretched out his hand, and Zhou Dagu threw out ten taels of silver in a sensible manner.
This is the rule of the Zhu family. As the largest merchant family in Qingxue Mansion, they also trade intelligence information.
"The news released by the government office and the Prefecture Mufu's Office this morning is that due to your vigorous prosecution, the Prefectural Mufu's Office took away the Yang family's silver in advance and did not allow them to successfully transfer it."
"At the same time, the government office notice said that all poor people can go to the government office to withdraw money with the money deposit slip in their hand."
"Everything below five taels of silver will be refunded, and those with ten taels of silver will be refunded eight taels. We will refund it to the people first, and then to the merchants! You don't know, the people are about to surrender Mr. Guo to you!"
Zhou Dagu's decision to let go of Xinlai was naturally Du Zhoumu's responsibility, so he was not afraid.
"Common people, don't you have any idea of raising Duzhou Mu?"
Zhu Jinwen put his hand into his arms: "Many people's homes have long had the longevity tablet of Du Zhoumu."
"Take this!"
Zhou Dagu was a little confused: "One thousand taels? What is this?"
"Calculating your interest, I listened to what you said to me that day. The Yang family investment bank opened, I invested 100,000 taels, and I took it out the next day!"
Zhu Jinwen looked heartbroken: "If I had known, he could last three days, I wouldn't have waited any longer, but it's okay, I earned 20,000 taels for nothing! This is the reward for your words!"
"Well... I took advantage of the chaos last night to close the Yang family's shop, but I was exhausted!"
Zhou Dagu took the money into his arms: "The accounts are clear, no wonder your Zhu family can make money!"
"This classmate, take it! It's just a silver leaf weighing one tael of silver, why are you so polite!"
"I, Lao Niu, have made money, and you should keep it too!" Niu Ruxian dressed like a big dog and acted more like a big dog.
Dressed in brocade robes and holding silver leaves in his hands, he kept giving rewards.
For those who didn’t know, I thought some landowner had gone to the wrong door!
Zhu Jinwen pulled him to sit down: "Damn you, you have money and you don't know how to keep a low profile. Why are you rewarding people in the school?"
"I usually see you rewarding your servants, and I feel envious. You managed to make me a few thousand taels, but you still don't let me be so powerful!"
Zhou Dagu knew that these two dudes had been playing together since childhood, and they did good things together, but Zhu Jinwen let Niu Ruxian take care of bad things.
When Zhu Jinwen earns money, he must rely on Niu Ruxian.
Zhu Jinwen shook his head in embarrassment: "If you want to spend money, please invite our brothers to Zuihualou tonight! I want to beat ten of them!"
Niu Ruxian looked sad: "You don't know yet, Zuihua Tower is closed!"
"What!" The roof of the school was almost lifted off!
Countless students turned their heads to look at him.
"You can't talk nonsense! How could Zuihua Tower collapse?"
"That's right! Zuihua Building doesn't belong to the Yang family, so why did it collapse!"
"My little girl Xiaobei! Zuihua Building is closed. I have to save her and give her a home!"
Niu Ruxian shook his head: "Who said Zuihua Tower collapsed!"
"It's because of the recent strict inspection that Zuihua Tower won't let you go!"
Zhu Jinwen opened his eyes even more: "When will we conduct a strict investigation and find Zuihua Tower! Isn't that the business of the second son of the Jun family of Guo Mansion?"
Zhou Dagu was also surprised. He didn't expect that magistrate Guo of Cai County had such a business.
wrong!
Doesn’t Cai County also have a Piaoxiang Tower?
OK! He knows why Magistrate Guo is nowhere to be found in the county government office!
As a gentleman, Zhou Dagu made up his mind to go to Piaoxiang Tower to save Magistrate Guo from now on!
The most important thing is that if he goes, he will get... free of charge!
In the school, there is no student who does not pay attention to Zuihualou. The literati and the Fengchen girl have been a perfect match since ancient times!
Niu Ruxian stretched his neck forward and spoke softly: "You don't know yet! This time, not only Zuihua Building, but the entire Qingxue Mansion will be investigated strictly!"
"Our family is in the city defense department and there are people in the border military camps. I won't tell ordinary people this news!"
"It is said that this strict investigation is because of the Lotus Sect!"
The school was quiet again. The Lotus Sect was a fear engraved in the bones of Da Ying. No one could explain why the Lotus Sect was terrifying.
That kind of terror seems to be innate!
Even when a child cries, hearing the name of the Lotus Sect can stop it!
Zhu Xiaowu leaned on the desk and wondered: "The people from the Lotus Sect haven't come out for a long time! Besides, it's not like we haven't seen them before. How could they be so scary? As for a strict investigation of the whole city?"
Niu Ruxian didn't know Zhu Xiaowu's identity, so he snorted and shook his head: "Do you know what the Lotus Sect did this time?"
Everyone's heads were resting together and they watched Niu Ruxian speak quietly.
He touched his lips up and down and said something terrible: "The Lotus Cult killed an official!"
The wind blew through the school, taking away a lot of cold sweat.
Students who have read history all know one thing. This sentence is not only a fact, but also an allusion. When the Lotus Sect interfered with the imperial power, the first thing they did was to kill officials!
Zhu Xiaowu stood up and said, "Who to kill?"
Niu Ruxian scratched his head: "It seems to be a scholar, his surname is... Zhang!"
There was another gust of wind, but it only took away the cold sweat on Zhou Dagu's face!
