MTL - Great Tang Broom Star-Chapter 14 Hedong lion

  Chapter 14 East Lion

   Liu Jia returned home and went straight to the room to lie down.

  Wife Wang Shi came in and saw him lying down with pale face and dull eyes, she frowned her eyebrows into a character horoscope, and roared angrily, "Business is over? Don't you eat?"

  Usually when she yelled like this, Liu Jia would definitely jump up, and then smiled and said something nice, and hurried back to the market.

  But today Liu Jia didn't move at all, not even moving his eyes.

   Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to touch his forehead, "It's not hot! What's wrong?"

   "It's okay." Liu Jiacai comforted his wife, but tears couldn't help but slipped down his cheeks and flowed down his ears.

   "What's the matter?" Seeing that he refused to speak, Mrs. Wang picked him up and said anxiously, "It's a shame you're still a man, so speak up when you have something to say!"

  Liu Jia choked up and said: "My husband hit... hit Broomstar earlier."

   "That Jia Pingan?" Surprised, Wang slowly let go of her hand, and said in a daze, "You... how did you bump into him?"

  The reputation of the broom star is getting louder and louder now, and the people of Huazhou can be said to be terrified by the news.

  Liu Jia covered his face with his hands, choked with sobs and said, "For my husband, I ate the delicious food he made, and wanted to ask...but I stepped on a vegetable leaf and bumped into him."

Fear surged between the couple, and Wang sat down weakly, "No wonder...the concubine met Peng Dashu earlier, he smiled so proudly, and said when our wine shop will be sold, the original price will not be given. , it has to be lowered by 30%. He is sure that you will be killed by the broom star."

Liu Jia took a deep breath, and said bitterly: "The location of our restaurant is good, and the business is also good. Peng Dashu has been coveting it all the time. But why would he care about him for his husband? Why do evil young men often come to the restaurant to make troubles in the past two years? It's Peng Dashu who is here play tricks."

  The so-called evil is less, that is, the future gangster.

   "Liu Jia...Liu Jia!"

   There was a shout from outside, Liu Jia got up, and cursed: "It's Peng Dashu, he is trying to take advantage of the fire! Anyway, it doesn't work out, kill him!"

  Ms. Wang was even faster, rushing into the kitchen, and when she came out again, she went straight out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

  The streets of Datang are surrounded by walls on both sides, and inside the walls are workshops. You said that there are shops on both sides of the street, that is impossible. The Liu family lived in the square, and there were still streets and alleys inside.

  Peng Dashu stood by the gate, and when he saw Mrs. Wang coming out, he said solemnly: "I have seen Mrs. Wang."

   Mrs. Wang raised the kitchen knife and asked, "Why are you coming to my house? If you take advantage of the fire to rob, I will hack you to death today!"

Peng Dashu took out a Buddha statue from his sleeve, and said: "I saw Liu Jia throwing Jia Pingan down with my own eyes today. I was afraid that he would not be able to survive, so I went to the temple to ask for a Buddha statue for him. Just take it, Mrs. Wang." , if it works, I will be very happy."

  With this gesture, the neighbors who heard the news couldn't help nodding slightly, and someone said: "He is a kind and righteous person!"

Liu Jia came out, he supported the door frame, and said with a sneer, "You have been coveting my wine shop for many years, and you will use any means to do so. If it wasn't resolved one by one, the wine shop in the market is now the only one of yours. I tell you, wishful thinking! "

  It was only then that everyone knew that there was such a grievance, and they all looked at Peng Dashu with contempt.

"Hey!" Peng Dashu sighed, "I will not refute those grievances, but Jia Ping'an is a bastard. If you threw him down today, I am afraid that you will get involved. If you are restrained later...you will borrow money to repair it." Zhaizi, when the time comes, the business will not be good, if something happens to you... how will you pay back the money? Do you want your wife to go into business?"

   Hiss!

  Liu Jia couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "You are so poisonous!"

He just borrowed money from the money-captor to renovate his house almost like rebuilding it. It is public money. Once the money-capturer knows that he is going to be unlucky, he will definitely come to ask for the debt in advance. When the time comes The wine shop was confiscated and sold, who would he cry to?

   This is the bottom line, making you powerless to fight back.

Peng Dashu sighed: "You misunderstood, I just thought that I will give you a good price now, which can be regarded as helping you. If you are defeated by the broom star, at that time, your wife and children will be alone, why bother?" Woolen cloth!"

   "Good method!" Liu Jia gritted his teeth and pointed at Peng Dashu, "It's 10% lower at most."

   "Thirty percent!" Peng Dashu said sternly: "The broom star is in bad luck, you are out of luck, maybe the business of the wine shop will also be bad, it's all money!"

  Liu Jia hesitated in his heart, he wanted to be tough, but if something happened, what would his wife and children do?

  Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in pain, "Also..."

  Before the good words came out, there was a stern shout from the side.

   "Bitch dog slave!"

  Peng Dashu was proud of himself when he saw Mrs. Wang rushing out, the kitchen knife held up high was gleaming, and he couldn't help being amused, and said with a joking smile, "Why, who are you trying to scare by raising the knife? Come on, if you have the guts to come at someone!"

   Liu Jia was already dumbfounded, and shouted: "My lady, don't!"

  Wang's eyes were full of madness, he rushed to Peng Dashu, and swung his knife without hesitation.

  Peng Dashu felt that Mrs. Wang was bluffing. He had some friendship with those villains. He was used to those bluffing and ruthless fighting. He was not afraid of this, so he just smiled.

   When he saw the madness in Wang's eyes, the kitchen knife also came.

  Peng Dashu lowered his head subconsciously, and the kitchen knife passed over his head. He only felt a chill on the top of his head, and then a mass of long black hair fell down.

   I say!

  This crazy woman actually came for real?

   "I'll kill you!" Wang raised his knife again.

  Peng Dashu turned around and ran away without hesitation, "Liu Jia, what the **** are you bragging about in the market that you are as docile as a lady and a cat, and you are obedient to you, you... you lack virtue! Help!"

   Mrs. Wang was already chasing him, Peng Dashu ran wildly, and the two disappeared one after the other.

  The neighbors all looked at each other, and someone tentatively asked, "Is that... Wang?"

"yes!"

   "In the past, there was a woman in the Liu family who was roaring..."

  The crowd looked at the sluggish Liu Jia, and someone said: "What did Liu Jia say... It's the maid who is screaming with mania, so it's not!"

  In the past, everyone often heard a woman in the Liu family yelling, so they inevitably became suspicious, but Liu Jia said that the maid was sick and went crazy...

  Now it seems that what the maid is going crazy, it is clearly Wang's going crazy, and Liu Jia bows her head.

   But this man is bragging in the neighborhood and in the market, saying that his wife is gentle and cat-like, calling east and west. Now the truth is out...

   "Isn't the person Liu Jia is talking about himself?"

   "That's right! It's not going west, it's as soft as a cat, I'm afraid it's him who said it!"

  Liu Jia smiled wryly. In the past, he would have defended himself, but now he is numb to everything in the world.

  Ms. Wang came back later, faced the surprised eyes of the neighbors, and said firmly: "Even if the Liu family can't survive, they will not sell the wine shop to such villains."

   "But what about you and your child?" Liu Jia couldn't help but feel like a knife was twisting when he thought of his wife and children.

  That is a **** who can kill even an emperor. His own family and grandfather's family have all been killed. Who would dare to throw him down like this?

   Wang said indifferently: "If you are really beaten by the broom star, I will take the children to the market and cook for them. I will raise the children in an upright manner, and I will not embarrass you!"

  The neighbors nearby couldn't help being awed when they heard the words, they cupped their hands and said, "What a fiery woman!"

  Subsequently there were rumors in the market that it was Liu Jia who threw down the broom star, and he was going to be unlucky. The news gradually spread, and Liu Jia couldn't help being furious. He was worried that the money grabbers would ask for debts in advance, and also worried that the business of the wine shop would deteriorate. Several blisters formed on the corners of his mouth overnight.

   And at this time, Chang'an's award also arrived at the state government.

  Xu Jingzong led Liao Quan and the others to stand respectfully, while a servant was reading the crown prince's explanation.

   "...As soon as Xu Qing arrived in Huazhou, he solved the case. I am quite happy. In the past, Qing was reticent, and the world had a lot of speculation. Once this case came out, the rumors were self-defeating..."

  This is to say: Old Xu, what you did is so beautiful, I can't be happier. You didn't talk much in the past, and everyone outside said that you were a traitor. Once this case is solved, your reputation will be better...

  Xu Jingzong couldn't help cupping his hands gratefully and said: "I am loyal to Your Highness and have no second thoughts!"

  This is the Tang Dynasty, it is rare for a courtier to show his loyalty so nakedly, but Xu Jingzong looked sincere, and Liao Quan couldn't help nodding frequently, thinking that this old Xu was pure loyalty, without impurities, and he was worthy of being his own model. He also thought of his loyalty to the first emperor and the crown prince, it seems very little! I couldn't help being ashamed, and felt that I had to learn from Lao Xu.

  The waiter nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How about that broom star?"

Xu Jingzong said seriously: "Please tell Your Highness, the broom star is just heard to be fierce, but the old man has seen him several times, and he is very spiritual. The old man thinks that since he can't be killed, why not treat him kindly? Just take a look at it then." .”

  The servant understood as soon as he heard it, and said: "Yes, we should be cautious about this matter. Xu Shijun has a good opinion."

  Since you dare not kill the broom star, why are you so nervous? Those who should be restrained will naturally be unlucky, and those who should not be restrained just leave it alone.

"Hehe!" Seeing that he was interested, Xu Jingzong subconsciously wanted to give some benefits, but he thought that his admirer Liao Quan was by his side, but it was not easy to use such means, so he said with an upright face: "It's rare for an envoy to come. Once, there was some mutton at the public kitchen, you can eat it before you go back."

  The servant couldn't help being surprised, and took a serious look at Xu Jingzong, feeling that he might have misjudged the person.

  In the past, Lao Xu liked to give some benefits to those prestigious servants, hoping that they would say something good about him in front of the late emperor. But now? He didn't give it?

  The servant was puzzled. After he left, Xu Jingzong said in a deep voice: "No matter who you are dealing with, you must abide by your duty. Don't bribe to get benefits, and you can't run for an official. I despise such people!"

  Liao Quan couldn't help being moved, "Foreign officials like to give favors to angels, and want them to go back to Chang'an to help them speak for themselves, so that the king's righteousness will be awe-inspiring, and the subordinate officials can't help but respect them in awe!"

  Old Xu blinked his eyes, thinking that he might offend this servant, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken. But seeing Liao Quan's respectful appearance, he couldn't help feeling secretly refreshed.

   But this servant is obviously not that stingy, and when he left later, he told Xu Jingzong about the situation in the capital, which made him very happy.

  The installation ratio was successful!

   When Lao Xu was in a happy mood, he said: "I didn't say I would go to the market when I came to Huazhou, and I will go until tomorrow. I invite you to drink later."
