Water Margin official

When Zhang Zhengdao got the answer, he smiled and said to himself: "Unofficial history, you are honest and do not deceive others!"

Then he changed the topic and said: "Madam, since the housekeeper in the house is a little suspicious, why not try it out and you can know the answer."

Mrs. Wei said: "What's the difficulty? I asked Wei Gui to tie him up and hit him with a few sticks, and he was ready for anything."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "If he refuses to speak, he won't be able to ask."

Mrs. Wei frowned and said, "Is there anything the officials can do?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "This is easy. I'll find someone to deceive him."

Mrs. Wei asked curiously: "How to deceive him?"

However, Zhang Zhengdao ordered her: "Madam, please go back to the house first. When it's midnight, let the housekeeper go out to buy some supper. Just ask him not to be suspicious and just treat it as a genuine instruction to him to buy food."<

/p>

Mrs. Wei nodded and said: "This is easy. The slave family will go back to the house immediately and do as the officials say."

Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "As for the person who buys the horse, does your wife know his name and what he does for a living?"

Mrs. Wei recalled it and said: "The man called himself Guo Ying and lived in Beiguqiao. He said he was some kind of instructor and lacked a good horse, so he asked about the Zaoliu horse from the slave family."

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment, then stood up, picked up the silk scarf and wiped his mouth, said goodbye to Mrs. Wei, left Wei Gui behind, and returned to Gaosheng Store alone.

But it was said that Mrs. Wei took one look at the silk scarf on the table and was reluctant to throw it away, so she kept it on her body and took Wei Gui back home.

When midnight passed, he ordered his maid Chunxiang to ask the housekeeper Wei Li'an to leave the house and go to the drugstore to buy some soothing herbs.

Wei Li'an didn't feel suspicious, so he thought it was his wife who had been worried about the shop's business these days and couldn't sleep, so he took some money and left the house, looking for a drug store to buy medicine.

After only a few dozen steps, a dark shadow suddenly flashed across, patted Wei Li'an on the shoulder, and shouted: "Mr. Wei, teach me to wait."

Wei Li'an was suddenly stopped by someone. He was startled. He turned around and saw a strange man. He was not sure who he was, so he asked: "Who is that?"

The man smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, a noble man often forgets things, but a humble man is waiting behind my husband."

Wei Li'an was still suspicious, and just asked: "You are looking for me, but something happened?"

The man looked around and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. I will find a quiet place and then talk to you in detail."

The man didn't wait for Wei Li'an to agree, so he grabbed his sleeve and left. It happened that there was a wine shop in front of him that was still open and selling wine, so he went inside and found a clean and secluded pavilion to sit down.

After ordering a pot of wine and two dishes, Wei Li'an asked, "Don't you know what your name is?"

The man smiled and said: "My surname is Guo and my given name is Jia. I am the cousin of Guo Ying of Beigu Bridge. I am following my husband to ask for an errand."

When Wei Li'an saw that he was Guo Ying's cousin, he became more suspicious, and then asked: "Why is Brother Guo looking for me?"

Guo Jia smiled and did not reply to him. He just filled up the wine and had three glasses with Wei Li'an first, and then took a few bites of the food.

Guo Jia lowered his voice and asked: "My husband has been a little anxious these days. I don't know what to do with you. How are you doing?"

Wei Li'an frowned and asked, "I wonder what Brother Guo is talking about?"

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Guo Jia sneered and said, "Brother Wei, you are an unhappy person. What important matter can my husband tell you as a housekeeper? It is not the matter of that naughty bitch."

"I heard from my cousin that because he did a good job in buying the horse and leaking the news, my husband was very happy, so he rewarded the horse to my cousin. I was very envious of it."

Guo Jia added: "But after a long time, there has been no progress on your side. My husband is a little angry and asked about this matter. I will come to find you and ask the reason."

Wei Li'an said: "This matter cannot be rushed."

Seeing that he was finally willing to tell the truth, Guo Jia remained calm and poured another glass of wine for him, and the two of them drank.

"Brother Wei, you and I can't be in a hurry, but my husband is in a hurry. There has been no progress for a long time. As servants, if we don't share our worries with our husband, how can we be promoted?" Guo Jia urged Wei Li'an to eat again. A glass of wine.

After a few glasses of wine, Wei Li'an's face turned a little rosy, and he shook his head and said, "There's really no need to rush this matter."

"Tell me, how can I not be in a hurry? What else can a slutty woman do?" Guo Jia asked.

Wei Li'an smiled and replied: "Although your husband-in-law has been promoted to the rank of General Jinwuwei, he dare not push that woman too much."

"Why is this?" Guo Jia looked curious.

Wei Li'an said: "Let's not talk about that girl's sister. She is a noble person in the palace. She is also her husband. She was also a general under Tong Xianggong's account during her lifetime. Although she died in Xige City four years ago, after all, we can't I’m sure that the Tongxiang Guild will not miss the old relationship and will help you at the critical moment.”

"So this matter can't be rushed!" Wei Li'an poured himself a glass of wine.

Guo Jia asked again: "Then tell me how to get back to my husband."

Wei Li'an smiled and said: "This is not difficult. I will ask my husband to wait patiently for a while, and I will take care of the girl. When the time comes, I will take the initiative to send her to my door and lie down on my husband's bed willingly."

"How long do we have to wait?" Guo Jia asked impatiently.

Wei Li'an counted on his fingers and replied: "Just one month."

Seeing Guo Jia's displeasure, Wei Li'an patiently explained: "Brother Guo, don't be impatient, just listen to me."

"Since taking over this Jude Zhai, my wife's wealth has been exhausted. In addition, in the past two days, I have also advised her to invite the Li family and the Zhao family. The cost is not small. I am afraid that such a huge family business will not be able to sustain it.

How long has it been?" Wei Li'an smiled.

Guo Jia asked: "If she wants to sell the wine shop, won't she be able to get money back?"

Wei Li'an said with a proud smile: "This is easy, all you need is to say a word from Mr. Xianggong. Who dares not to give Xianggong face in this huge Bianliang City? Even if he admits defeat and only sells 10,000 yuan, no one dares to take the risk."

At the risk of offending the three husband-in-laws of the Gao family, let's take advantage of this."

"Even if someone is really willing to take over and is not afraid of offending Xianggong Gao, it doesn't matter. All we need to do is spread the word and say that the court saw that the wine shop was losing money and wanted to take over its wine-making rights. Who would buy it?" Wei Li'an said proudly.

.

Guo Jia gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Wei is really wise, but I don't understand something, why do you do this?"

Wei Li'an said with hatred on his face: "I wanted to come into her house. I thought that her husband was a popular figure in the eyes of Mr. Tong and would have a bright future. But he turned out to be a short-lived ghost. He died in the northwest battle. That's all.

I try my best to take care of the affairs of the government, but I only have twenty guan per month. In Bianliang City, I can't even buy a roof tile. How can I not hate it in my heart!"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Brother Wei, if you do this well for my husband, you will definitely be rewarded."

Wei Li'an said: "I don't like the small rewards. I just want an opportunity to serve under Xianggong. I also ask Brother Guo to say a few kind words for me. I am very grateful."

Guo Jiadao: "This is natural. If you handle this matter as soon as possible, my husband will naturally think highly of you."

Wei Li'an thought for a while and then said: "Recently, that woman was so anxious that she even asked for a poem from a country man in an attempt to change it. How could she know that if there weren't everyone in the Goulan singing, how could it be possible?

What does it do?"

Guo Jiadao: "Brother Wei, you are really a talented person. I don't have such clever skills as you. I can only do the hard work of running around for my husband."
