Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 336
According to the price of the original Water Margin.

One tael of silver can buy a large urn of wine, twenty catties of cooked beef, and a pair of large chickens.

Purchasing power is still very strong.

Hu Qian took out the soap at this time and shouted: "The best soap is used by the officials and wives.

Fifty cents a piece. "

Everyone shouted when they heard it.

What is so expensive!
A kitchen knife is only fifteen or twenty yuan. Could it be that your thing is made of gold?

Hu Qian laughed.

"Even the county magistrates and supervisors say that this thing is very good. If you don't believe me, buy a piece and try it at home."

Although many people turned their heads and left after hearing this, many of them stayed. After all, the reputation of this soap has been spreading in Yanggu County recently.

Especially in the circle of rich people, almost everyone knows it.

At this time, a woman who looked like a maid said: "Give me a piece."

With this first person as the lead, it will be sold quickly.

Before noon, a box of soap was sold out.

Therefore, he didn't sell any cooking cakes, but just made soap every day, and found a lively place on the street to set up a stall selling soap to make a living.

In less than half a month, he earned a small hundred taels of silver.

After all, there is only one place for this thing, and he has the final say on how much to sell it for.

So although everyone is greedy, there is nothing they can do.

After getting the money, he thought about renting a store facing the street.

Named Wuda Soap Shop.

And Gu Yun brother as a helper.

The business is so busy every day that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day.

Suddenly one day.

Hu Qian was busy.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from next door.

When he went out to look, he saw a man dressed in fancy clothes and wearing a jade pendant was chasing and beating a servant girl with a wooden stick.

Hu Qian has been in business for a long time, all he knows is a rice shop on the left and a garment shop on the right.

That young master should be the owner of the tailor shop, and he is shouting at this moment: "You lowly maidservant, don't you know my master, I'm in a bad mood recently?

How dare you hit my gun head, if I don't kill you today, there will be no rules in the family! "

Unfortunately, many people around looked around, but no one dared to dissuade him.

Hu Qian stood outside and asked, "Brother Yun, whose family is this?"

Brother Yun took a look inside.

"This is Hua Zixu. A well-known son in the local area. He is the nephew of Eunuch Hua.

The eunuch Hua was the emperor's close servant, and he was quite trusted by the emperor. Later, he was promoted to Guangnan and guarded the place, which was regarded as a momentary authority. "

Hu Qian was taken aback and asked, "Does Hua Zixu have a lady named Li Ping'er?"

Brother Yun said: "Li Ping'er is the concubine of Liang Zhongshu, the left-behind secretary of BJ's famous mansion.

Because Liang Zhongshu's wife is the daughter of Cai Taishi in Tokyo, a famous shrew.

Many of Liang Zhongshu's maids and concubines were beaten to death by her, and Li Ping'er was lucky enough to escape.

I heard that the hundred Western beads and a pair of two-weight gemstones I had with me took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

Seen by eunuch Hua, he asked someone to match him and married Hua Zixu.

But recently Hua Zixu suffered a lawsuit. "

Hu Qian said, "What kind of lawsuit did you get?"

The eunuch Hua lived with Hua Zixu before his death. It is estimated that he died in a hurry and did not have time to leave a will for property distribution. The houses, fields and gold and silver treasures left after his death were all occupied by Hua Zixu. Greatly dissatisfied, they jointly filed a lawsuit against Yousi Yamen.

Hu Qian said again: "How do you know so clearly about his family's affairs?"

Brother Yun said with a smile: "I used to sell pears and go to thousands of households, so I know all the big and small things in Yanggu County. It's about your wife Xi and Ximenqing..."

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Hu Qian quietly, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.

Hu Qian didn't care, just said: "This is absolutely rotten in the stomach. If you say it again and cause trouble, I will find you to kill me."

Then he asked again: "Since Hua Zixu has so many properties, why does he still say that he caused trouble?"

Brother Yun said: "The uncles and brothers of Hua Zixu also have backgrounds. How can they be dismissed so easily.

If he didn't take out real money to deal with it, he might have to face a lawsuit and spend his life in prison. "

At this time, Hua Zixu beat the maid until she was covered in blood, and she didn't stop.

Hu Qian couldn't bear it when he saw it.

But I still have Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian's life debts on me, so I don't want to cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, the maid was beaten for a while, and she was about to be beaten to death, so she rushed forward a few steps, and even ran to Hu Qian impartially.

Immediately, the wooden stick in Hua Zixu's hand struck, Hu Qian blocked it with his hand and grabbed the wooden stick.

Regarding Huazi's matter, seeing Hu Qian was short and ugly, he said, "You must be Wu Dalang.

I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise I will beat you together.

Even my own wife can't stand it, are you still here to meddle in other people's business? "

If he didn't say this, it would be fine. As soon as he said this, Hu Qian's heart immediately burst into flames.

He stepped forward and said, "If you have the ability, beat her to death, and then not only your brother and uncle will sue you in the government.

Wouldn't this maid's family sue you?

Two lawsuits are entangled with you, and it depends on whether you will die or not. "

When Hua Zixu heard this, he was stunned.

With the onlookers pointing at him, he said: "Today, I will spare you for the sake of everyone, and if I dare to point fingers again next time, I will beat you to death.

This ignorant bitch! "

After finishing speaking, he went back to his tailor shop, regardless of whether the girl was dead or alive.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Hu Qian sent her to his shop.Then he asked Brother Yun to hire a doctor for her.

The servant girl was beaten with blood all over her head and face, she couldn't tell what she looked like at the moment, she just murmured: "Thank you officer for saving me.

The slave family must also repay the great kindness and virtue of the officials if they are cattle and horses. "

Hu Qian asked: "Whose family are you from? Why did he beat you? What's your name?"

The maid said: "My family is called Xiaocui. It is the maid of Li Ping'er, the wife of Huazixu's family.

Because my brother was involved in a life lawsuit and needed to be dealt with up and down, so I went to Hua Zixu to ask for a monthly case in arrears.

Unexpectedly, instead of giving it, he beat the slave's family like this. "

"What kind of life lawsuit is a death penalty?"

Xiaocui said: "My elder brother from the slave family works in the home of the official Ximen. Because the official Ximen is dead, the family does not need so many servants, so he was dismissed, but he was not paid. My brother was so angry that he went there. Theory, who would have been beaten up by Na Dai'an.

Because there is no livelihood, food and clothing are problems, so I went to the door again to argue.

In the process of fighting.Pushing a boy to the ground, the boy landed on the back of his head and fell to his death.

Dai'an sent my brother to the yamen and sentenced him to an autumn sentence.

If you don't have money to manage, you must die.

There is only my brother and one son in the family.It would be impossible to come to my house like this. "

Hu Qian originally only listened to this matter as a story, but when he heard that she was Li Ping'er's maid, he moved his mind.

Now the soap business is good.But after a long time, someone finally found the doorway.

And now the shop front is too small.If it is possible to take down Hua Zixu's appearance together.Then the power will rise greatly.Even if you're not in the soap business, you can be a liquor store.

After all, the alcohol content in the Water Margin world is too low now. If we deal with it a little bit, we can make high-alcohol liquor.I don't worry about not making money.

There are also great benefits for future plans.

What's more, since he wants to use faith to unseal the catharsis, it's best to pay attention to buying people's hearts all the time.

When she was thinking about it, Xiaocui saw that he had not spoken, and suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I know this is absurd.

But the heart of a high official is like that of a Bodhisattva.

Please save the brother of the slave family, the slave family will be a cow and a horse in this life, and must repay the kindness of the high officials. "

Hu Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want you to be like a cow, as long as you help me with some things."

Xiao Cui said: "If you have something to do, just give orders, Xiao Cui will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Hu Qian nodded, took 200 taels of silver and gave it to her, and said: "You take the money to manage first, and if you don't have enough, then come to me. In addition, my brother Wu Song is the head of the infantry in the Yamen. I can also ask him to help you." Intercede in the yamen."

Xiao Cui repeatedly kowtowed, took the silver with trembling hands and said: "If you have something to do, just order it, the life of this servant will belong to the master from now on."

Hu Qian said: "You don't need to call me master, you should go back to Hua Zixu's house first, I need your help over there."

Xiao Cui was startled for a moment, then kowtowed again and again, "Your official will do as you say."

Hu Qian said: "You swear not to tell anyone about today's matter."

Xiaocui swore again and again that even if Xiaocui was killed, Xiaocui would never confide a word, and if she violated this oath, she would be struck by lightning and die a terrible death.

Hu Qian said: "You go when your health recovers.

Hurry up and find me later. "

Xiaocui responded, "The master is in charge of the slave family, and I don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes."

Hu Qian said: "I can help you for a while, but you still have to rely on yourself."

Xiaocui was taken aback immediately.

At this moment, Hu Qian suddenly received a reminder.

【Faith Improvement】

How is this going?

Could it be because of gaining Xiaocui's trust?
wrong!

It should be that sentence!

People still rely on themselves!

Could it be that this sentence also has the effect of "everyone is equal" and "princes and generals have kindness"?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat himself on the head.

How stupid!

Although it is not allowed to shout rebellious words such as "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should stand", but it is still possible to say something like "Whoever believes in me will have eternal life".

Relying on the familiarity with the Water Margin story, it is relatively simple to set up a person who knows 300 years before and [-] years later.

Thinking of the details, he couldn't help but plan secretly.

When she got better in the afternoon, Xiaocui hurriedly took the silver and went home.

Seeing this, Brother Yun said: "How can I give her the money easily, what should I do if she runs away?"

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry about this, I know it well."

Two days later, Xiaocui sneaked into Hu Qian's store, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your help, master, the money has already been paid."

Hu Qian nodded and asked, "Has your brother ever been rescued?"

Xiao Cui said: "Since he killed someone, he tried to rescue him, but he absolutely couldn't, but it has changed from Qiujue to assassinating Mengzhou.

Finally, he took his life. "

Hu Qian asked her to stand up and speak.

When he saw her appearance, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, his head and face were covered in blood before, and he couldn't see her face clearly for a while, how could he recover his original appearance now, seeing that she was born with quite a mark.

Although not as glamorous as Pan Jinlian, it also has a taste of Xiaojiabiyu.

He and Pan Jinlian used the method of double cultivation before, and his body recovered much faster than before alone, and his mana increased greatly.

Although he may still not be Wu Song's opponent, but if he faces Ximen Qing again, he will never be at a disadvantage as before, at least he will be an evenly matched opponent.

Besides, I don't know what kind of opponent I will face in the future.

So speeding up cultivation is something that must be done.

The only way to speed up cultivation is through the method of double cultivation.

However, this method of dual cultivation is not only beneficial to himself, but also greatly beneficial to the woman, so if he is not sincerely attached, he does not want to take advantage of others.

For example, Pan Jinlian before that, even though she had flirted with him once, but then killed her again.

At this time, seeing Xiao Cuisheng's beauty and cuteness made her think again.

It's just pure pleasure, without cultivation.

Xiao Cui served Li Ping'er at Hua Zixu's house for many days.

Naturally, he understood the meaning of this look, seeing Wu Dalang looking straight at him at this moment.

Although she disliked Wu Dalang's ugliness, she already owed such a great kindness, so she couldn't help but refuse anything.

She lowered her head and said softly: "If the master is interested, the servants will come to serve the master."

Hu Qian thought about it carefully, but now he still doesn't know what happened to Xiao Cui?If you receive it by your side casually, it may be a disaster in the future.

If it's not for cultivation, it's not impossible to have an ordinary time with her, but the last time will inevitably stay too long.

So it would be useless to expose it.
So he said: "You just need to help me keep an eye on the affairs of Hua Zixu's family, and report to me at any time."

Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief.But then I felt lost again.

Unexpectedly, Wu Dalang couldn't refuse such a temptation because of her self-sufficient beauty, but he was ignored unexpectedly.

"What kind of things does the master want the slaves to focus on? The Hua family has a lot of things big and small, and some places in the slave house can't go."

Hu Qian: "Just focus on the few lawsuits between Hua Zixu and his uncle, and don't worry about the rest."

Xiao Cui said, "If it's just this matter, it would be simple. Hua Zixu would tell his wife Li Ping'er about this matter every day, and the servants were by her side at that time, so they listened in detail.

Most of Hua Zixu's property is owned by Hua eunuch.

Now that eunuch Hua is dead, Hua Zixu's uncles and brothers didn't get a cent, so they teamed up and sued Hua Zixu.

Hua Zixu didn't want to distribute his property and fields, so he spent money everywhere, and dragged it to Ximenqing before, spending 200 taels of silver.

But Ximen Qing disappeared for some reason. "

Having said that, he looked up at Hu Qian again.

Hu Qian also understood what she meant. Many people thought that Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang's wife, Pan Jinlian, had hooked up to commit adultery. Ximen Qing disappeared, and everyone listed Wu Dalang as the number one suspect.

It's just that there is no dead body, so no one can do anything to Hu Qian for a while.

Besides, Wu Song is the head of the infantry in the yamen.

If Ximen Qing hadn't died, he would have to spend money to go to the Yamen to have Wu Da executed after the fall.

Now that Ximen Qing was dead, those cronies of his were only thinking of dividing his family's property, so they would take the risk of offending Wu Song to manage Ximen Qing's affairs.

Hu Qian asked again: "Based on what you know, whether Hua Zixu's lawsuit will win or lose."

Xiao Cui said: "Most of the money that Hua Zixu entrusted to Ximen Qing was squandered by Ximen Qing, and nothing was done about it. Now that Ximen Qing has disappeared, Wu Yueniang doesn't recognize the account at all, so Hua Zixu has nothing to do. .

Now he has spent a lot of money in order to keep his family wealth, but his uncle also has a related background, so Hua Zixu's lawsuit is probably lost. "

Hu Qian suddenly asked curiously: "How did you know that Hua Zixu entrusted Ximen Qing to do something, and Ximen Qing squandered all the money?"

Xiao Cui said: "Because Li Ping'er secretly hooked up with Ximen Qing, so the slave family also knows something about it."
