Daming King of Punishment

Page 454

After Song Wuya heard Bai Zhuo's words, he nodded with a smile.

"Haha, that's really great!" Bai Zhuo was very excited, looking like he was eager to try.

That's the plan. As for the situation at that time, it depends on whether the follow-up things will go well.

What Song Wuya said to the servant of the Niu family just now was an ambiguous sentence.It is estimated that the master of the Niu family will not be able to sleep tonight after hearing what Song Wuya told him.

Song Wuya guessed that they wouldn't be impatient to make a decision today, so tomorrow is the day when the main event begins.

After eating, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo went back to their rooms to sleep.

Just when Song Wuya and the others were about to fall asleep, a person hurried over to the door of the Niu's house.

"Uncle, you are back!"

The gatekeeper of Niu's house, seeing the panicked appearance of the visitor, also tightened the expression on his face.

Hearing the greeting from the door, the person who came directly rushed in without looking back and gave a hum.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, things are not good!"

The person who broke into Niu's house in a panic was none other than another son-in-law of Niu's house, the magistrate of Nantou County, Yu Chun.

"Ouch! What are you panicking about? With your yelling, this old man almost gave up his life!" Hearing the sudden yell, Master Niu trembled in fright, and slumped down on the chair with a plop. .

Yu Chun hurriedly came to Master Niu, knelt down on one knee and gave a salute, then hurriedly got up and said, "My son is not filial, I am alarming my father-in-law."

Master Niu looked at him, closed his eyes and sighed: "I already know about this, so there is no need for you to come here to report the news. You said that you are a dignified magistrate, such a virtue, how can you have the slightest etiquette and majesty, if you let others look at you , I thought the old man had ascended to heaven!"

"Hey! Father-in-law, don't blame the son-in-law. You said such a big thing, and the imperial envoys from the imperial court have arrived, how can the son-in-law be calm!" Yu Chun patted the back of his hand, shook his head and sighed. endlessly.

At this time, Master Niu was relieved, and the nervous expression on his face also calmed down.

"Isn't it just a small imperial envoy? It's not like we haven't dealt with it before. It's just that this time a new face appeared. At most, it's a little difficult to deal with, but it can be settled in the end."

"But...but he's different this time! We're fighting like this today, and the whole city is searching for arrests. I'm afraid that the imperial envoy won't be in a good mood and won't do what we do!" Yu Chun was still worried that he just arrived today. imperial envoy.

Master Niu, on the contrary, seemed to have a plan in his chest.

"The servant just came back with a message. The imperial envoy said that today's matter was just to give our Niu family a bad impression. As for how to solve this matter, he said that I understand it in my heart."

"Father-in-law, I don't understand these words! How can you figure out these ambiguous words?" Yu Chun was completely panicked. No matter what the old master Niu said, he was really worried anyway.

Seeing his appearance, Mr. Niu couldn't help frowning: "You say you! How did you become the magistrate of this county! Such a big thing, you are scared like this?"

"Father-in-law, this is not a big deal! This is going to kill you!" Yu Chun didn't listen to Master Niu's words.

Seeing Niu Chun's appearance, Master Niu finally couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table and said angrily, "It's a worthless thing! The sky is falling and there's an old man carrying it. Do you need to be afraid? How many of them have received our filial piety, how could they let us die so easily? This old man already knows what to do, now let this old man go back to sleep, and you will pay a visit to this imperial envoy early tomorrow morning, Use official clichés to find out what this imperial envoy is saying."

Probably it was Yu Chun who hadn't seen Master Niu lose his temper at him for a long time, so he shrank his neck immediately, and didn't dare to say anything discouraging, nodded again and again, and bowed to Master Niu to leave.

The morning in Nantou County is not particularly lively. Although there are many well-dressed people eating in front of street vendors, they are really a minority.

It can be seen that the people here are very clear that the business they want can only be obtained from Niu's family, so they don't need to get busy from morning to night.

Song Wuya and the others did not eat at the inn, but came to the street.

No matter where it is, the gap between rich and poor exists after all.But in this place, it seems that there is no such thing.Even the hawkers who sell food at the stalls wear unusual clothes.

"Boss, here are some steamed stuffed buns." Bai Zhuo looked at the stalls selling breakfast on the side of the road, one by one, he found a random place and walked over.

"okay!"

The owner of Baozi here responded, and Bai Zhuo called the porridge shop over there, and a few bowls of porridge came.

The steamed stuffed bun and porridge were quickly placed in front of Song Wuya and the others, and the two bosses stood beside them and said with a smile, "Guest officials, the total is four taels of silver!"

"What?" Upon hearing the price, Bai Zhuo almost didn't jump up: "Just a few buns cost four taels of silver?"

For four taels of silver, buying these buns is definitely a sky-high price.

Song Wuya was a little stunned at first, but looking at it now, he understood why these peddlers were wearing such bright clothes.Such an expensive breakfast would cost a lot of money on this day.

But then again, the people who come here to eat breakfast are not rich, and I'm afraid they won't care about the mere taels of silver.

After thinking about this point clearly, Song Wuya stopped Bai Zhuo who was about to argue with the vendor, took out ten taels of silver, and gave it to the other party.

"Okay, five taels per person, go and divide it yourself!" Song Wuya pulled Bai Zhuo to sit down, and gave him a wink. After the two vendors left, he whispered: "This place is like this, it can be counted. Those who have made a lot of money by relying on private salt will not care about this little money. We can only follow the Romans. However, I am a little worried. When we left the inn, we didn’t know what to do. How much money did you take out!"

"The inn still asks us to pay for money? It's a joke. I guess we found out about our imperial envoy's status yesterday, so it's not bad for us!" Bai Zhuo said angrily.

Although it is angry, it may not be the case.After all, his inn was not considered a place to hide filth, but the people who lived there were not open-minded people. It was possible to use some money to gag the mouths of Song Wuya and the others.

They came out early this morning, but they haven't seen the waiter yet.I don't know what kind of expression the waiter in the shop will have when he sees Song Wuya and the others today.

While eating the expensive breakfast, Song Wuya looked around and said to himself: "The government's ability to handle affairs here is really bad enough! It's already this point, and I haven't seen anyone yet!"

"Huh? Brother Wu Ya, what are you talking about? Why did you bring up the government?" Bai Zhuo asked with a bun stuffed in his mouth, after listening to Song Wuya's words.

Song Wuya said unhappily: "Is there any need to ask? Yesterday they knew the identity of our imperial envoys, and the most important thing to show us is none other than the government. However, this county magistrate may go to Niu first. Jiatong reported this matter, according to my guess, they should entertain us today."

"Oh! It's this matter! It is indeed." Bai Zhuo finally realized.

The four of them had breakfast, and looked at the people coming and going around them, but they couldn't see how busy these people were.This kind of situation, I'm afraid it's not too common.It is estimated that today's situation is caused entirely because the second son-in-law of the Niu family has just died.

Just as he was talking, several guests came next to him.

"Hmph! What's going on with this Niu's house? I've been waiting here for three days. He thinks I have a lot of free time to spend here?" After that, he slammed the table and called the boss to come over.

Hearing this, Song Wuya nodded secretly: "It seems that these people are getting impatient."

The companion who was traveling with that person patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "What's the rush! Didn't you hear that something happened to the Niu's house recently? Just wait a few days, if the Niu's house can't ship the goods in the future , then we will be in trouble."

"What's the trouble?" The man, who was still angry just now, turned his head away and put on a displeased expression.

"The Niu family hasn't let the wind out yet, and the second son-in-law should be re-elected." The companion said with a sigh.

"That's not right! How can the helmsman just say "crack bang"? Didn't we meet last time? He doesn't look like a person with any problems at all?"

"Hey! That's where the problem comes in. I'm afraid Niu's family has hit a snag this time. It's fine if it's settled, but if it's not settled, we might all have to drink the northwest wind!"

"so serious?"

"Of course, haven't you heard? The imperial envoy came here yesterday. I'm afraid this Nantou town will not be peaceful."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Song Wuya and the others frowned.As for the imperial envoys, they ignored them. After all, they were them. As for the result, it still depends on how they deal with it.However, in the words of these two people, they also became suspicious of the sudden death of the helmsman.From their point of view, I am afraid that someone is going to interfere with the voice of the Niu family's private salt, which may directly affect the status of the Niu family here.

On this point, Song Wuya and the others don't need to think too much, the three words Wuliangjiao immediately come to mind.Obviously, Wuliangjiao has never done small business. Since they want to do something here, they are afraid that they will uproot this place and then sit on their own.
