After a while, a woman came to the main hall with a piano. It was the stamen of a flower that had not yet seen spring. This stamen was indeed as charming as a flower. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of Mr. Jia and his son.
I heard that the oiran girl Hua Rui, who had not yet seen the spring, came to the Jia Mansion. Mrs. Jia also came to the main hall as if facing a formidable enemy. There were rumors outside that Mrs. Jia was a tigress and very fierce. Jia Shutang was very henpecked. No one dared to marry a concubine, but after looking at it today, Su Xiaolou thought it was true. Mrs. Jia looked away, and Jia Shutang never dared to look at the pistil again.
Huarui walked into the main hall with lotus steps. When she saw the scene in the main hall, her eyelids twitched inexplicably. Thinking of what Jia Shutang told her before tonight, she felt angry and annoyed. She thought that with a father and son from the Jia family, she would no longer have to suffer. , I didn’t expect that the father and son were more useless than the other. They could not even kill Xiaoqi, and he even brought the Lei Zhenfu from Nanjing City Jinyi Guards to bully her and force her to bow her head.
After she walked over and saluted everyone, she turned to Su Xiaolou, bowed tenderly and said: "My family is here to apologize to Mr. Su. It was my first time to play in the casino that day. I was unlucky and lost." I spent a lot of money, and I was upset for a while. I offended you, and I hope you can forgive me!"
Su Xiaolou was puzzled for a while, why was everything weird today? How could the arrogant and domineering woman in Qingyu Gambling House be so sensible today? Could it be that she was afraid of the power of the Nanjing governor.
Nothing happened that day, and Su Xiaolou had long forgotten about it: "Miss Huarui said something serious. I don't think she cares about money. I will take the treasure, jade, fish, and purple girl that is rare in a thousand years." Besides, there is no conflict between you and me."
Mrs. Jia's heart skipped a beat. She knew very well how much her son's romantic debts were. She quickly looked at Jia Zhengjing and asked seriously: "Zhengzheng, where is your jade! Why haven't you seen wearing it today?" "
Jia Zhengjing was panicking, so he pretended to be calm and replied: "Mother, the lock on the treasure...the jade is a little loose, I asked the craftsmen to repair it."
"Oh! You still have to wear it after repairing it. Never leave it."
"Yes, mother."
Seeing this, Huarui said: "Master Su, the fact of the assassination is a misunderstanding. I would like to play the piano to apologize to you."
After hearing Hua Rui's words, Su Xiaolou finally figured out everything tonight. He pointed at Hua Rui angrily and said, "It turns out that you and Jia Bujia, the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion, colluded to assassinate me. Fortunately, they found out in time, otherwise they would have to kill me." I have wronged Mr. Jia and Brother Jia.”
Jia Bujia was shocked at first and then said angrily: "You are so slanderous!"
"The killer confessed today that the person who hired him had an obscure mole at the end of his eyebrow. Who is it not you?"
After Jia Zhengzheng heard this, he looked at the end of Jia Bujia's eyebrows and saw that there was indeed a mole. His face turned red and green. He smashed his wine glass angrily and pointed at the housekeeper Jia Bujia and Miss Huarui: "Way-minded women, You...you and I are so good to you, and I gave you all the life-saving amulets, and yet you go out to steal people behind my back, you wanton woman, go to hell."
After Jia Zhengzheng said that, he took out the dagger and shouted and slashed at the two of them. Seeing Jia Zhengzheng's life-threatening posture, girl Huarui's face turned pale with fright, she dropped the piano in her hand and ran away.
Jia Bujia knew that the young master had misunderstood, so he dodged the knife that Jia Zhengzheng swung like crazy and shouted: "Master! You have to make the decision for me! Please explain to the young master that I did not collude with Miss Huarui. Yes. You sent me there.”
Jia Shutang didn't have time to talk to Jia Bujia at the moment. Hearing that his son was actually hooking up with his wife, his blood pressure rose because of this cuckold. He picked up the tea bowl at hand and chased Jia Zhengjing, but he didn't know it. He was in vain: "This traitor actually got together with my woman. I will beat you to death today."
Mrs. Jia was completely angry. She didn't know for a moment whether she should blame her son for giving the life-saving jade to a prostitute, or whether she should blame her husband for getting together with a prostitute. She picked up a solid wood chair weighing dozens of kilograms and roared He said: I will beat you dirty father and son to death. Oh my God! I've lost all my face to you. This posture is comparable to Wu Song fighting a tiger.
It’s true that the whole family does not stay together. Tonight’s banquet is more exciting than the opera on the stage. Su Xiaolou and Lei Zhenfushi are like the melons that have strayed into the melon field. They don’t know which melon to eat for a moment. .
Soon a whole table of dishes was smashed to pieces, and for a while the cries and curses were so loud that it made people's ears hurt. The whole banquet hall was in a state of panic. The servants stood at the door and watched, not knowing who to help.
Su Xiaolou and Lei Zhenfu protected their heads and squeezed out while dodging left and right. Lei Zhenfu was extremely skilled in martial arts and could keep no leaves from touching his body. Su Xiaolou was miserable, with a vegetable on his head. Leaves, fish bones hanging from the waist.
…
In the early morning, Su Xiaolou rode the old horse to a porridge shop, ordered a bowl of millet porridge and a piece of fried cake, and went to the Yamen after eating and drinking.
Xiong Er, Blind Man, and Xiucai arrived first. Those people were probably still running wildly on the road. Su Xiaolou talked about the farce that happened at Jia's house last night. No script could write such a wonderful story.
Su Xiaolou suppressed his laughter and said, "You haven't seen that Jia Zhengjing was spanked so hard by Jia Shutang that his butt was bruised. Jia Shutang was even more miserable. His face was scratched several times by his tigress, and his wig was all stained." It was ripped off, you know, that Jia Shutang is actually the Mediterranean, hahahaha... I guess I won’t be able to go out and meet people these days,"
"Haha...hahahaha..."
The blind man's eyes almost stopped laughing: "I didn't expect that this girl Huarui is quite fierce. One woman serves two husbands, and they are a father and son. I am afraid that Miss Huarui, one of the most popular girls in the south of the Yangtze River, will have a tarnished reputation in the future."
"Not only has the reputation of Hua Rui been ruined, I'm afraid it will be renamed a brothel before spring comes. Hahahaha..."
"Haha...hahahaha..."
Hanhan and the old man also arrived. When they saw a few people laughing in the corner as if they were having a nervous twitch, they asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
"Are we laughing about a woman serving two husbands together?"
"How about one woman serving two husbands? Tell me quickly." Uncle Huang became more energetic when he heard this.
"Your name has been called, your name has been called, stop making trouble. Why hasn't the fat guy come yet? Is he stealing food somewhere again?"
Su Xiaolou led a group of people to stand in a row on the square. After the routine was completed, Yan Baihu looked at Su Xiaolou thoughtfully, walked over and took him to a remote and uninhabited place. Said: "Xiaolou, Mr. Lei has arranged an errand for you."
"What errand?"
"Two students from Donglin College died within ten days. The superiors are very serious about it and want our Nanjing Jinyi Guards to cooperate in handling the matter. Mr. Lei has ordered you to go."
Su Xiaolou frowned and said: "In the past, murder cases were handled by the Third Division. Even if the Third Division has too many backlogged cases and cannot be dealt with, it should be Yingtian Mansion. How come it is our Jinyiwei's turn?"
Yan Baihu explained: "One of the students is the son of our Lord Qian Shi. Lord Qian Shi was furious and asked Jin Yiwei to participate. The superiors agreed."
"So that's it."
This is not a good job. These days, there are many things where subordinates work hard and take the lead. The people below work hard all year round and are sent to the people above. Governor Lei Zhen had always taken good care of Su Xiaolou, and when he was asked to go by name this time, he felt that there must be other arrangements behind it.
Yan Baihu handed Su Xiaolou the official document stamped with the seal of the commander of the town government department, and said: "Master Lei has worked hard to live up to your entrustment. Xiaolou, please don't let Master Lei down."
"But I don't know anything about solving crimes."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lei said that you are a smart man. He has already arranged everything. You will understand when the time comes. Just follow the flow and don't worry about anything else."
Su Xiaolou thought to himself, isn't this a real-life script killing? Just follow the plot. Su Xiaolou happily agreed to such an interesting thing.
Su Xiaolou led the few thugs around him away.
