Chapter 140 Four Gifts

"what!"

The capital of the new day became lively with a scream.

Countless people heard the scream and ran to the gate of the city, and soon the gate of the city was blocked by crowds, making it impossible to get through.

But everyone did the same thing, looked up to the high place, there was a man who was tied up in a big way, without an inch, and the key parts were also wrapped with ropes round and round, very tight.There are many bastards painted on this person, ranging in size, all of which are blue.His mouth was tightly gagged, and he was struggling in mid-air, trying to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

However, this man's face was clean, without any dirt, and it was clearly exposed in front of the common people. It seemed that he was tied up deliberately to let others see what he looked like.

The common people pointed and pointed at each other, and began to talk about what he had done to be stripped naked and hanged at the gate of the city.

"See if you stole someone's wife and got discovered by the man in the family?"

"I don't think so. Maybe they went to brothels and didn't give money. Anyone in a brothel in the capital has no one behind him, so he deserves to be hung up!"

"This can't be digging someone's ancestral grave, right? Does this person look familiar to you?"

"It seems a bit familiar. It looks like a swindling and domineering young master in the streets on weekdays. I'm afraid that he will not be short of money. He must have done something shameful and immoral."

"It deserves it! These young masters don't have a good one on weekdays, and they should have been cleaned up long ago."

"That's right, maybe some hero hangs people up for the sake of the people, well done!"

There are more and more people talking about it, and I don’t know who mixed in the crowd and yelled that it’s okay to hang up, and other people also yelled, not only that, some came with vegetable baskets, and even threw vegetable leaves with their hands, some If one takes the lead, there will be countless others. These people don't know what the hanging man has done, but they are all hung up at the gate of the city like this. After all, it is not a good thing, just throw it away.

There are many people, and there are many things that can be thrown away. In addition, it is still early, and the city gate has not yet been opened.

When the guards opened the city gate and saw a man hanging from the gate, most of the people in the city stared at him.

The guards drove away the people watching the excitement, and immediately brought the ladder down to put him down. After he put down, he found that there was still writing on the man's buttocks. It was a personal name, Tao Ming!

Soon, all the people in the city knew that there was a man named Tao Ming who was stripped and hung on the city gate for a whole night, and was also seen by all the people in the capital.

As for how many people Tao Ming knew, I don't know, but those people who knew him laughed much more happily than those who didn't.

Especially some of Tao Ming's classmates, the Tao family's family background is not high, although Tao Ming has won the exam, there is no shortage of talented people in this capital. At first, because he is the son-in-law of the general's mansion, many people were willing to curry favor with him. I want to gain some relationship with the general's mansion from him.

But later, there was a lot of trouble about Tao Ming raising a concubine outside, and then the Xue family came to him again, divorced Tao Ming, and completely severed ties with the Tao family. The status of the Tao family plummeted, and Tao Ming's classmates treated him It's even more disdainful, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen today, so I have to laugh.

Tao Ming wailed on the ground for a long time after being put down, and was finally sent home by the guards.

It is said that Tao Ming's father, Master Tao Rongtao, fainted on the spot on his desk after receiving the news.

The rumors raging all over the city completely covered up other rumors, but the person who planned all this was sitting in the mansion and listening to people gossip about various reactions outside.

Knowing that Tao Rong was dizzy, Shen Ran asked the little twin to invite Bai Luoxue, and at the same time relayed the outside affairs to Bai Luoxue. After the little twin finished speaking, Shen Ran said, "I said yesterday that I would help you out." Tone, although you can't kill people, Tao Ming might be ashamed to go out in the next few years now. At that time, I believe you also have your own skills. If you want to do something difficult for him, it's not difficult. It depends on whether you are smart enough

Ming, can he survive well? "

Shen Ran's move was really ruthless, Tao Ming's face was disgraced, and even the reputation of the entire Tao family could no longer be restored. Compared with the insulting words Tao Ming said to her before, Tao Ming was treated like this, I'm afraid it would be worse. So ashamed that he wanted to die.

Bai Luoxue bowed to Shen Ran, "Write more, Young Master, don't worry, Young Master, Bai Luoxue will never forget what you said yesterday, and she will definitely come out alive."

"You are a smart person, I am very relieved, then wait a few days to send you to Prince Min's Mansion!"

After tidying up Tao Ming and embarrassing him again, Shen Ran was in a good mood, clapping her hands and preparing to go back to catch up on sleep. After all, getting up early in the morning and listening to the gossip live broadcasted to him was also very tiring.

The little twin went back to the room with Shen Ran, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what did Tao Ming do to Miss Bai to make you so angry?"

Shen Ran remembered what Xue Qingrou told him yesterday, when Tao Ming was the first to go out, he fished out the other pregnant women, and the four women in the brothel didn't care about Bai Luoxue, so that's fine, and Tao Ming let Bai Luoxue Luoxue went to accompany the yamen, saying that as long as the yamen had fun, they would let her out naturally.

Bai Luoxue would rather stay in the cell than to stay, but I didn't expect Tao Ming's disgusting thing to make people insult Bai Luoxue after going out, if Xue Qingrou hadn't listened to Shen Ran's words and went to the prison to catch someone and ran into him Well, I'm afraid that Bai Luoxue would have passed away without being ruined by a group of people.

After hearing this, Shen Ran wanted to kill Tao Ming, but he couldn't do it now. After all, Tao Ming was the son of a court official, and if he died now, he would definitely have something to do with the Xue family. What kind of stigma has been brought on, and now he will be punished a little. When the opportunity comes in the future, he will never let this kind of scum have a good life.

But Shen Ran didn't intend to tell the little twins about this. After all, such a thing is very harmful to a girl, and the less people know about it, the better.

Shen Ran shook his head, "The sad things about the girl's family have already passed, so I won't mention them anymore, and don't ask."

Seeing that Shen Ran didn't intend to say anything, the little twins nodded and said, "Okay."

Shen Ran made up for the feeling of getting back into the cage. He just had an early lunch when he got up. He planned to wait for Xue Xingan to come back and go to the west of the city to have a look. The man he had been waiting for had arrived.

The servants came to report that there were two people at the door who claimed to be from the old streets and alleys, and they came to look for the young lady.

"Old streets and alleys?" Shen Ran read these three words, feeling very strange, and asked, "Where is this old streets and alleys? Did anyone tell you what it's called?"

The servant replied: "The old streets and alleys are the area behind our department store. There are not many outsiders going there on weekdays, and the old streets and alleys are not often mentioned. Young Madam

URL: It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it. "

Shen Ran nodded, he kept calling that piece of land, but he really didn't know the name, Shen Ran probably knew who was looking for him, and said: "Invite them to the front hall to say hello, I'll just change clothes past."

Shen Ran was going to meet two people he didn't know. Little Shuangzi and Gao Lang who stayed in the mansion today were both worried, and it was hard to persuade Shen Ran to go away, so they just stared at him eagerly, hoping that Shen Ran would be more conscious and take care of himself. Say no.

Shen Ran thought it was funny, "With your appearance, it's not enough to treat people like wolves and tigers. I've seen people from the old streets and alleys before, and your eldest son has seen them too. I'm here today to talk about the land deed. I also I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you follow, what are you so worried about?”

Listening to Shen Ran's words, the two thought to themselves, can they not be worried, the last time they let people enter the mansion easily, and they were lying on the bed for almost a month.

The two were indifferent, and still refused to agree. Shen Ran had no choice but to say, "Then I have to go to see people and let them wait, right? Your eldest son doesn't know when you will come back. Be careful, and you won't be so careful." The more it is like this, the easier it is to make mistakes.”

The little twins and Gao Lang looked at each other, it made sense to say so, after a while Gao Lang said: "Young Madam, don't worry, I will stand behind you later, and I will not leave you."

"No problem!" As long as he can see people.

At the same time, Shen Ran felt in his heart that those who wanted to rebel and had nothing to do to attack him were really sick.

After seeing the person in the front hall, he turned out to be an acquaintance, "Yao Da!"

Yao Da didn't expect that Shen Ran still remembered him, and he was a little excited, but he still remembered to salute Shen Ran, and at the same time, he also pulled the people around him together, "I've met Young Madam."

Shen Ran waved his hand, "You're welcome, sit down, let's do the same as last time, little twins, go find some melon seeds for tea and snacks, hurry up."

Shen Ran was so casual, Yao Da, who was still a little nervous, also relaxed a lot, and said to Shen Ran: "We came to you this time because of the land deed. Someone bought our house before, and said that after the old streets They all belong to the General’s Mansion, but the person who bought the house didn’t tell us to move out, we didn’t know what to do after we received the money, so I came to ask you.”

Shen Ran looked at the person who came with Yao Da, "Is this your brother? Are you two here today to ask for a letter, or is there something else?"

Only then did Yao Da realize that he hadn't introduced someone to Shen Ran yet, so he hurriedly pulled the person to stand up and said, "Young Madam, this is my younger brother, Yao Er, we are here to ask for a letter at the order of the clan elders. The house is not ours anymore, and we are not asked to move out, and everyone is not stable in food and housing these days, so I just want you to give us a good word, let us move out, or return the money, it doesn't matter!"

After Yao Da finished speaking, Little Shuangzi just came to deliver melon seeds for snacks. Shen Ran grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started knocking, and at the same time called Yao Day and Yao Er together, "If you want to move out, do you have a place to go? How much does each household charge?" silver?"

Yao Da did not hide anything, and said directly: "There is no place to go. Everyone thinks that if you let us move out immediately, we will move outside the city and use the money in our hands to buy some fields and live. Everyone will share Ten taels of silver, the family has a lot of people, it is not a small sum of money, the person who bought the house is not simple, we dare not make trouble and dare not ask for more, so we only got ten taels."

Listening to Shen Ran, she felt that the emperor must have settled the matter long ago, otherwise the purchase of this land would not have been so smooth.Although it is said that ten taels of silver per person is a lot, it is not much, especially in this capital city.The emperor must know that he will not let these people do nothing, food and lodging will be settled, even if each person only takes ten taels of silver, it is enough.Shen Ran sighed, the emperor is the emperor, more than others.

"Don't move for the time being. My side has already asked people to build a house in the west of the city. Go back and tell your elders to come to the general's mansion tomorrow. I will take him to the west of the city to have a look. If you are still willing to stay in the city You can go to the west of the city to buy a house to live in, and you can leave if you don’t want to. I will subsidize each person with some money. After the house in the west of the city is repaired and you all move there, I will start demolishing the houses here. I will arrange work for you Humans, it’s up to you whether you want to do it or not.”

Yao Da heard that Shen Ran really wanted to arrange housing for them and find jobs for them, he was surprised, "I thought you said it casually before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Shen Ran: "...So, is this the reason why I haven't seen you come to tell me about selling the house after waiting for so long?"

Yao Dashi nodded sincerely, "Yes, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, that piece of land is our only means of survival, and we will not be easily fooled."

Shen Ran: "..." Who would have thought that it was because he offered so well.

"Then why do you believe it now? I think the pie is not filling enough or the pie is not big enough," Shen Ran asked angrily.

Yao Dao: "That's not true. You have already got the land deed and you still say that, then I will believe it. If it is fake, you will definitely not even mention it."

Shen Ran felt that what he said was quite reasonable, but he couldn't refute it yet.

After Yao Da finished speaking, he went on to say: "I'll let Yao Er go back and invite the clan elders to come over now. Everyone is in a hurry, and they didn't even do the work. We can do things with peace of mind if we make an agreement earlier. "

"That's fine, little twins, let the butler arrange a carriage and take Yao Er to the old street to pick him up."

Yao Er heard that there was still a carriage, so he immediately stood up and left with the little twin, obviously looking forward to the carriage.

After Yao Er left, Shen Ran chatted with Yao Da and asked him what he wanted to do.

Well, who would have known that Yao Dayu said surprisingly, "I want to join the army!"

Shen Ran was surprised, "Want to join the army?"

Yao Da nodded, "Yao Er is grown up now, his family has money, and you have arranged a place to live. My family members can also work and support themselves. I just want to go to the battlefield to kill a few enemies and serve the court. "

Yao Da didn't know much. Although he was a gangster, he still had some simplicity in his bones.

Shen Ran asked: "Do you know that if you are on the battlefield, you may not be able to return. Are you not afraid of death?"

"Afraid, there is no one who is not afraid of death, but who can say anything about the battlefield, if you want to not die, kill the enemy, it is not enough to kill a few more, an old beggar told me before, A person has to do something that he wants to do in his life, so that he will not regret it when he dies."

The old beggar was probably a philosopher, Shen Ran thought so.

But it's true, you should do what you want to do.

"That's not bad, but don't be in a hurry. We'll talk about it after the resettlement is complete. You can do more work and change houses for your family." After all, I've seen it before, and Shen Ran appreciates Yao Da's magnanimous attitude. Just revealed some news to me in advance.

Yao Da couldn't close his mouth with joy after hearing that he could exchange a job for a house.

Not long after they finished talking here, Yao Er took over the clan elders. There were three of them, with gray hair, sun-baked, and dark complexion, but they looked very energetic. When they saw Shen, they said nothing Without saying anything, he just knelt down at him, "Good man, the gods came down to save us."
