Chapter 2588 Catching Him
Lady Cao was frightened when she heard this, but she did not give up. She said: "Master Jun, the Marquis of Qin likes to eat cherries? Then my family will pick them now and send them to the Marquis of Qin!"
Then she loudly announced to her family: "My natal family is from Caojia Village outside the city. My father is Cao Liuwang. My name is Cao Chunhua. I married into the family of Butcher Wang from Dou Li Lane, North Street. The man is Wang Qiuman. He has two sons and two daughters. I The eldest daughter happens to be fourteen this year, and she is well-known in North Street..."
"She's a famous little shrew from North Street. She still looks like her father, but she's not ugly!" The restaurant owner shouted this sentence before he could speak.
Mrs. Cao was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at the restaurant owner and cursed: "Huang Shengping, you are a shady impostor. If you are not convinced, send your daughter to the Marquis of Qin!"
With a sigh, the commander-in-chief drew his sword, pointed it at the Cao family, and said angrily: "If you dare to ruin the reputation of the Marquis of Qin, come here, arrest this woman, throw her into prison, and wait to be punished!"
Mrs. Cao was frightened. His man hurriedly squeezed in from behind, grabbed her, knelt down and said: "Master Jun, please calm down. This woman of mine is just a talker. She said the wrong thing, and she won't do it again." , please spare her this time!"
The general flag sneered and said: "You openly said that you would give away the Marquis of Qin's women, described the Marquis of Qin as a drunken waste, and slandered the reputation of the Marquis of Qin. Such big mistakes must not be treated lightly, but must be punished severely!"
Then he said: "I have also surrendered to you people. The Marquis of Qin has just killed more than 40,000 rebels, and the Jingguan with heads has just been burned, and the ashes are still in place and have not been blown away. How dare you attack the Marquis of Qin? If you are not afraid of death, the Marquis of Qin will definitely be happy to fulfill your wish."
"No, I know I was wrong, and I don't dare to do it anymore. Please spare me!" Cao was so frightened that she cried loudly and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, but was eventually taken to the government.
However, General Zhang Qi asked Butcher Wang to go with him. The couple would be locked in the same cell, which would not damage Cao's reputation.
After this incident, people in the city who wanted to send girls to Qin Sanlang no longer dared to think about it, and Qin Sanlang was able to calm down.
However, word got out that the Marquis of Qin liked to eat cherries, and the people all over the city went crazy to pick cherries. In just half a day, the front yard of the commander and the prefect was filled with cherries, and the baskets of cherries were piled up to the top.
General Guo was shocked: "This is the first time I know that there are so many cherries in Tong'an Mansion."
He hurriedly explained: "Send the order and tell them to stop picking. There are only four people in Qinhou's family and they cannot eat so many cherries!"
Yes. Vice General Zeng went to do it himself.
Qin Sanlang didn't ask for all the cherries in the courtyard in vain. He received them in baskets with one tael of silver and ordered people to send the money to each household. When giving the money, he specifically told him not to send any more cherries. If you dont have money to collect, you will be fined.
Hey, hey, we know, we wont give it away again! Those who got the money agreed one after another.
But the next day there were still people carrying baskets of cherries to the envoys and prefects, saying they would give them to the Marquis of Qin.
this?
Its just looking for a fight!
Qin Sanlang did not accept any more gifts, and asked people to drive away all the cherries.
But when the dignified Marquis of Qin came to Tong'an Mansion, everyone wanted to curry favor with such a big shot. Even if they were driven out of Nanfu Street, they still waited at the street entrance with their burdens, hoping to be miserable and wait for the Marquis of Qin to take pity on them.
Lieutenant General Zeng had no choice but to come over and report the matter, and then said: "General, I'm thinking of letting them dry for a day, and then when it gets dark, I'll collect the things for one tael of silver per basket. From tomorrow on, the nearby streets The cherry-pickers will not be allowed in. Those who violate the rules will be put in jail for a few days and they will be kept honest. What do you think?"
General Guo nodded: "This is a good idea. Go ahead and do it."
"Yes." General Zeng went down to talk to the government office, and then waited. When everyone was exhausted and gave up in the evening, he would start collecting the fruits and end the matter.
But there was someone who moved faster than them, it was the girl Friday from Zhou Tongpan's family who came to Yuyang Mansion to take refuge. Aunt Zhou brought a group of Zhou family servants to the entrance of Nanfu Street and said to those selling cherries: "Fellow folks, our girls know that it is not easy for you to pick cherries, so we are willing to pay for your cherries, and we will be with Qin Hou." The price is the same, one tael of silver per basket. But you have to agree to one condition for our girl."
What are the conditions? Tell me quickly! It was a hot day. They had been exposed to the sun for a long time and they had given up. They thought that the Marquis of Qin would not buy their cherries again. When they saw someone who wanted to buy their cherries, they all gathered around.
Seeing that they were anxious, Aunt Zhou said with a satisfied smile: "You are just not allowed to pick cherries and sell them to Marquis Qin. My fifth girl said that Marquis Qin destroyed the rebels and saved us. He is our benefactor. We can You cant embarrass him like this, and you will repay your kindness!
He added: "Actually, our Zhou family can't eat so many cherries, but in order not to embarrass the Marquis of Qin, my fifth daughter asked me to buy your fruits."
With these words, everyone praised her: "Hey, your girl is such a good person, thank you so much to her. We won't pick cherries tomorrow, so we can't embarrass the Marquis of Qin."
The person who said this was really poor and wanted to sell cherries for some money.
But half of the people who came to sell cherries were rich people who wanted to curry favor with Qin Sanlang. These were shrewd people. When they heard this, they understood and sneered: "Oh, Miss Friday is really a smart person!"
When Grandma Zhou heard this, her expression did not change, and she only greeted the poor families who wanted to sell cherries: "Fellow folks, please follow me to the Zhou family's courtyard. Don't worry, our Zhou family is also an aristocratic family, and the eldest daughter is still from the Wu family in the capital. My eldest daughter-in-law will not lie to the big guys. When we get there, I will definitely pay money to buy your cherries!"
Someone asked curiously: "Which Wu family is it?"
Mama Zhou did not answer this time.
However, the Zhou family had already arranged the manpower. At this time, a government servant shouted: "Which Wu family? Of course it is the Wu family who is in charge of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities. The husband of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family is still a close minister of His Majesty, and the brother-in-law is still with the Marquis of Qin. We are familiar with our brothers!"
Hey, you are such a noble family, they will definitely not lie to us.
The yamen servant said: "That's right. I will definitely not lie to you. Don't worry."
He sighed again: "I didn't expect that the Zhou family and Qinhou's family have such a connection. I'm afraid Miss Wuwu also knows Qinhou, and they have a good relationship with each other, right?"
What these words said the next day has evolved into: Miss Wu Wu and Qin Hou were childhood sweethearts. Originally, the two families were going to get married, but because Qin Hou's family suffered a disaster and Qin Hou lived among the people, Qin Hou and Miss Wu Wu Missed a marriage!
In the other courtyard of the Yue family, Miss Yue was sitting on her knees in a very standard posture, looking at Master Yue, and said: "Dad, my daughter has long said that you don't have to worry about the Zhou family. The second wife of the Zhou family is a fool. Friday This time you will suffer the consequences."
Mr. Yue Yue nodded: "I originally thought that the Zhou family and the Qin family had a marriage contract. If the second wife of the Zhou family wanted to renew the broken marriage through old friendship, I'm afraid it would be possible. Now it seems that it is indeed possible. It's because I worry too much about my father... This second bedroom of the Zhou family is far worse than the first bedroom of the Zhou family, and the methods used are too clumsy to be eye-catching."
Even if he sent someone to buy the cherries from the villagers in the name of Miss Friday, he also reported his family and the relationship between the two families, and even let people spread some lies about his childhood sweetheart, and he was not afraid of the Marquis of Qin. Angry, he destroyed the entire Zhou family!
He looked at Miss Yue again and said with a smile: "My son is still calm and wise, and did not take action rashly."
Girl Yue was pounding spices in her hands and making incense while saying: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Naturally, my daughter must spot it before taking action. Otherwise, wouldn't she miss out on such a great hero if she doesn't do it right?"
Thats right, even though Qin Sanlang killed tens of thousands of rebels and gained a terrible reputation, he was still a good man, and everyone wanted to catch him as a rich son-in-law!
