Chapter 71 Accident

Manager Yao received Huang Wei's instructions and left the cargo yard and went straight back to the wine shop.

Since Nong Cunfu got Guangyuanzhou, the Huang family has specialized in gold business there and is a wealthy family in Guangzhou. When he was young, Superintendent Yao entered the Huang family's store as a servant. After more than ten years of hard work, he was appreciated by the boss and became the supervisor. He was the confidant of the Huang family. This time, two of them and Superintendent Fang were ordered to come to Taiping Village to do this big thing. The Huang family promised his future glory and prosperity, and did not dare to be careless at all.

The wine shop and the cargo yard were not far away, and it was not long before we arrived in front of the door.

Seeing that the door was closed and there was no lock, Director Yao was shocked. Could it be that Liu Dahu and Madam Qiu had already returned? When they went out in the morning, they said that they would go to Taiping Village to play after the release of animals.

When he entered the door, there was only one servant sleeping on the table, and no one else was seen. Manager Yao thought for a while, but did not wake up the sleeping servant and went straight to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I happened to encounter a servant carrying a wine pot and saluted to Superintendent Yao: "The Superintendent is back, and the Master is still muttering just now."

Manager Yao forced a smile and asked the servant to do his own thing.

In the pavilion in the backyard, Niangzi Qiu smiled and kept urging him to drink and drink.

Liu Xiaomei's expression was a little stiff and she barely asked to socialize.

Duan Yunjie smiled and didn't speak to Xiuxiu, who was sitting angrily, just watched.

Liu Dahu was a little embarrassed. He lost his temper at his sister at the release pool, which was a rare thing in his life. It was not that he had a good temper, but when he saw someone with a higher status than him, he naturally felt that he was shorter and did not dare to speak loudly. Only in front of someone who was worse than him, Liu Dahu showed his majesty and showed his masculinity. After saying that, he thought that Liu Xiaomei would never recognize her as her brother no matter what, but she didn't expect that she could impress her and come to his home to be an official.

Along the way, Liu Dahu's momentum was getting lower and lower, and when he arrived at the door of his house, he was gone. When the banquet was set up, he was thinking about his sister's intention to marry Gao Daquan. After climbing this high branch, he completely forgot what he said just now that he would not ask for help.

Just when Liu Dahu was not adjusting his emotions, he saw Manager Yao walking in at first sight and hurriedly shouted: "Have you finished your business in charge? Come here and have a drink!"

Manager Yao did not expect that Liu Dahu was treating guests in the backyard, and the guest identity was unusual. Xiuxiu and the other two had special identities in the Tsingju Sect, and the people from Taiping Village had some impressions. In addition, the two Xu Ping's accompanying soldiers standing next to him could guess it.

He cursed with bad luck, and Director Yao said, "You guys can use it slowly. I just come back to get something. Once I get something, I have to go back quickly. I won't bother you."

He bowed his hands and hurried back to his room.

"Why is Manager Yao so weird today?"

Liu Dahu muttered casually and stopped caring about him.

After Director Yao interrupted, Liu Dahu put down his embarrassment, picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Xiaomei: "Little sister, from now on, you have climbed up to the high branches and are prosperous and prosperous, don't forget your brother!"

Liu Xiaomei frowned and said, "Brother Gao is just a servant, why are you talking about wealth?"

"How can you say that?" Liu Hu said, holding a wine glass, "He is the closest person to the judge. His future is strong, but sooner or later. Not to mention money, I heard that the high-ranking officials in the capital can even be the ones in their own houses. My brother-in-law's official status will definitely die!"

Liu Xiaomei shook her head, too lazy to pay attention to this brother. She married Gao Daquan, and she was not greedy for glory and wealth. As long as the two of them were happy, why did her brother say so unbearable?

As for the servant being an official, Liu Dahu was right.

Two months ago, Qian Weiyan, who was sent to Luoyang in Xijing, returned to the capital to stay and stayed there. He was determined to be the prime minister, but was finally shot out by the censors. When Empress Dowager Liu saw Fan Feng, she told him that Qian Weiyan had left. Fan Feng ridiculed that all the servants of the Qian family had been appointed, so why did he stay in the capital?

Qian Weiyan is the fourteenth son of Qian Chu, the king of Wu Yue. His sister married Liu Mei, the ex-husband of Empress Liu. He started to attack Kou Zhun. Ding Wei lost power and excluded Ding Wei. All the ministers in the court offended him. Feng Zheng hated him especially, and used the excuse that he was a relative of the empress dowager and that the relatives of the outside could not be the chief lieutenant, so he expelled the center.

Fan Feng was the chief censor at this time and drove away Qian Weiyan's backbone. The empress dowager said to him specifically, "I don't want Fan Feng to appreciate it." At the same time, Fan Feng is the leader of the Yi Party of Dongzhou. He has a very good personal relationship with Shi Yannian. Xu Ping couldn't help but pay special attention. When he saw Di Bao, he casually mentioned to the people around him, and somehow it spread. Since Liu Dahu heard this news, he looked at Gao Daquan even more. He was not sure when his brother-in-law could make up for it."

Manager Yao went back to his room and thought that it was difficult to explain the problem of food and food in the store, so he had to transfer it again, saying that he had something to do, but he still left the store.

Liu Dahu was so proud that he was not at ease, so he greeted him casually and then went to curry favor with his sister. However, he didn't expect that Liu Dahu wouldn't speak before, but Xiuxiu and Duan Yunjie looked at him with a high look. Seeing his face, he didn't give him a good look. Liu Xiaomei sighed secretly.

After leaving the store, Manager Yao had no choice but to take two more steps, find a secluded shop, order a table of food and drinks, calculate the money, and ask the servants in their shop to take them to the yard. They are afraid that others will see them, so they dare not follow them, so they find another way to go back first.

When he returned to the cargo yard, Huang Conggui saw it and jumped up and complained: "I have been there for so long, but I haven't seen any wine and food. You are not a good person. You are also a good man. He also said that he is a subordinate of Mr. Huang. The Huang family has not done much business in Yongzhou in the past two years. I think it's just you wastes that are dragging him down!"

Manager Yao did not know who Huang Conggui was? But seeing that his master was respectful to him, he brought dozens of people over and did not dare to have an attack. He accompanied him to carefully: "You guys have been waiting for a long time. Something happened in the wine shop, so it was delayed. Don't be impatient, and the wine and food are delivered immediately!"

Huang Wei was originally dissatisfied with Huang Conggui so arrogant. After hearing what Manager Yao said, he had a sudden blow, called him aside, and asked in a low voice: "What happened in the store?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the nominal owner Liu Dahu and Niang Qiu came back early and were having a banquet at the store. I was afraid of accidents and didn't dare to ask for food and drinks in the store."

After hearing this, Huang Wei asked: "Who did they invite?"

Manager Yao hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "I invited Liu Dahu's sister and two people in the Tijuan Department, both of whom are good friends with Liu Xiaomei. However, one of the Xiuxiu came here from Kaifeng with Xu Tongzhang. She is very valued and difficult to provoke."

Huang Wei pondered silently, and after a while, he asked Manager Yao: "Will they have a bad thing?"

"It shouldn't be. Although the wine shop is not far from here, they can't see it as long as they don't go out."

Although Manager Yao said this, he was a little hesitant.

Huang Wei said nothing with a calm face, his eyes kept flashing.

At this moment, the servant came over with the food he sent. Huang Wei said to Director Yao: "Go and calculate the money and have a few drinks with that Huang Yanei. Remember, we will use him in the past two days. You flatter him more and don't offend him. These barbarians will do everything if they hear a few good words!"

The sun has set in the west, the heat has begun to dissipate, and the cool breeze has slowly risen.

On the Golden Light Top, Master Zhiyun sent Xu Ping and his party to the foot of the mountain and pronounced the Buddha's name: "Thank you, donor, for the appreciation of the light."

"You are kind to you, Master, thank you for your vegetarian meal. We shouldn't have disturbed the wizard's retreat, so we said goodbye. If you have free time in the future, come and ask the wizard for advice."

Xu Ping politely returned the gift and said goodbye to Master Zhiyun.

Xu Ping did not have the intention to believe in Buddhism, so he was in the mood to eat vegetarian food. No matter how well a vegetarian food is, he could still compare to real fish and meat? Most of the time, he just had a feeling, but Xu Ping did not have that feeling.

However, Han Zong's family has a lot of knowledge and talks with Master Zhiyun very happily. The royal family likes Buddhism, so scholars and officials are indispensable to followers. At this time, many people practice both Confucianism and Buddhism, which has become a trend among royal relatives. For example, the first wealthy family Li Zunxu and Li Duanyi and his son, who were both friends with scholars and officials, and had profound Buddhist knowledge, and were well-known in the capital. Li Xiuyuan, a descendant of the Li family during the Southern Song Dynasty, was named Daoji, and was the Living Buddha Jigong praised by later generations. His family was also known as the most famous ones in Buddhism.

The crowd went down the mountain, bid farewell to Master Zhiyun, and arrived at the edge of the release pool. At this time, the crowd had long dispersed, and only the devout believers who were far away were still releasing animals by the pool.

Xu Ping looked around and saw Xiuxiu and the other two, and asked Gao Daquan around him: "Why didn't you see Xiuxiu and the others? Could it be that he was impatient and went back by himself? He asked them to go up the mountain to have vegetarian meals, and said he would not go if he had something to do."

Gao Daquan also cared about Liu Xiaomei and hurried to find the soldiers who stayed at the foot of the mountain.

Not much time has passed, Gao Daquan came back and said to Xu Ping: "Officials, Xiuxiu and the others were invited by Liu Xiaomei's brother Liu Dahu to visit the house. We don't have to wait here."

After hearing this, Xu Ping lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked Gao Daquan: "Liu Xiaomei's brother, I remember not being an honest person. I didn't tell you about the matter in Zhongzhou before, but I almost ruined my sister's life twice. Even if I followed her to Taiping Village, I would drink and gamble every day and not do my job. How could such a person invite the three of them back to visit? Xiuxiu was ignorant, and Duan Yunjie was also confused?"

"What the officials are talking about before. A few days ago, Liu Dahu and others opened a wine shop, and the business was still clean, not as scoundrel as before."

Xu Ping heard this and said, "Can such a person open a wine shop? Where does he get the capital? I heard that this person feels uncomfortable if he spends a penny on his body, and he has to find someone to lose all his money!"

Gao Daquan was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, Liu Dahu met a woman who sang music in a restaurant and saved some money and capital."

Xu Ping heard it strangely, looked back at Gao Daquan and said, "Why is this more magical the more I listened to?"

"The officials find it strange, that's normal. You have been busy in recent years, and how can we, the affairs of our servants, be as clear as before."

After hearing this, Xu Ping looked up and down at Gao Daquan: "As far as you want, do you have a share of the capital?"

Gao Daquan waved his hand quickly: "The officials misunderstood. Although I have saved some money in the past two years, it is not enough to buy a property. It is the Niangzi who sang the song. The reason why he is willing to pay for money and follow Liu Dahu is entirely due to my face. Although I am a servant, I can say anything anywhere in Taiping Village. These people think they are a backer, so they curry favor with Liu Dahu."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It turns out that following me will have this benefit."

Gao Daquan followed Xu Ping for many years and knew that this official liked to say something. As long as he said it, the big trouble would turn into small things. If he hid it, he would eventually suffer. Therefore, he was cursed by Liu Dahu and others, and he would inevitably be suspected of pretending to be a tiger's power. Xu Ping asked, but after hearing this, the official said that he just laughed it off and did not go into it.

After walking a few steps, Xu Ping still felt something was wrong and said to Gao Daquan: "It's getting late. Xiuxiu and the others are girls. It's always inconvenient to go outside. Go find them and go back to the village together by dawn. It won't be that the accident happens on the road when it gets dark."
