Brocade tears

Chapter 19

"Don't make a noise! ​​Don't make a noise!! All the medicines prepared right now are distributed, and if you haven't received them, please come back tomorrow!" Qing Xu's voice rang out from the yard.

Meng Kuang stepped in and saw that the courtyard was full of people.These people are ragged, unkempt, and speak dialects from various places. They are refugees at a glance.No matter men, women, old or young, everyone held a receipt in their hands and crowded inside and outside the pharmacy, shouting:

"Why did it end so soon! I traveled half of the capital to come here!"

"I promised to get two months of Dieda plaster!"

"I have a list to prove it. The man told you that you will know it when you look at it. Is it true that you can receive plaster for two months?"

"Oh don't squeeze, I'll be here first!"

……

Meng Kuang was taken aback for a moment, she thought it was someone from the family who was making trouble.Unexpectedly, a group of refugees flooded in, saying they came to get medicine.

She pushed aside the crowd crowded at the door of the pharmacy, and squeezed into the pharmacy with great effort.On the way, there were bursts of complaints from the refugees, but seeing her in the uniform of Jin Yiwei, carrying a weapon, and wearing a terrible mask, they all felt fear again, and they dared not speak out.Meng Kuang squeezed to the front, and saw Qingxu and Meng Ai behind the counter busy counting the plasters, keeping accounts and distributing them.Seeing that Meng Kuang had returned, Qingxu heaved a sigh of relief, and Meng Yan's pale face finally showed a reassuring expression.

Meng Kuang walked around the counter and asked what happened with his eyes.Qing Xu explained in a low voice:

"It's the plaster order from the officer yesterday. It was originally agreed that someone would come to pick it up when it was ready, so we issued a receipt. For some reason, many copies of this receipt were copied and distributed to so many people. Refugees. Starting this afternoon, a large group of refugees came to us, holding our invoices, and asked us to exchange plasters. We were not fully prepared, and we have received all the [-] stickers we prepared. There are so many people who haven’t received it. No matter how much we persuade them, they won’t leave.”

Meng Kuang frowned, took the receipt from a refugee at the front, and saw that it was indeed the bill of lading issued by Lingjitang, and copied it intact, even the signature.

"Has the final payment been settled?" Meng Kuang leaned into his sister's ear and asked softly. Because her voice was very soft and she was wearing a mask, people couldn't feel that she had spoken.

Meng Yan said in a weak voice: "The final payment has not yet been settled, but these people...cough...Since they came to get the medicine, we can't drive them away. Lingji Hall...will open its doors for business in the future...heh... ...cough cough..."

"It's not good, Xiaodong's family is suffering from asthma!" Qing Xu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "There are too many people in this room, the air is not circulating, and Xiaodong's family is in a hurry, so anxious that they fell ill."

While speaking, Meng Ai was already clutching the skirt of his chest and arched in pain, panting out of breath.Meng Kuang hurriedly reached out to support her, his heart rose in his throat for a moment.

"Get out of here! Take her to the bed!" Qingxu said urgently.

However, this group of refugees still blocked the door indifferently, with no intention of giving way at all.Meng Kuang was in a hurry, and immediately took off the knife at his waist, bursting out with murderous intent, and overturned a refugee who was blocking the way to the ground with the back of the knife.The refugees were immediately overwhelmed by her powerful aura, and fled from the pharmacy in panic, shouting "Jin Yiwei killed someone!"

Meng Kuang's face was as cold as ice, he supported Meng Ai with one hand, and with the cloth-wrapped scissors with the other hand, overturned all the refugees who were in the way, quickly took Meng Ai to the main hall, and helped her sit on the Arhat bed in the main hall, Let her lean against him, and raise his hand to gently stroke her chest to help her breathe.Qingxu hurried to get the pills and water, and slowly let Meng Yan take it.This pill was made in the past to be taken as a preparation. When you have a sudden attack of asthma, take one pill, it can smooth the Qi and clear the phlegm, and it will have a miraculous effect immediately.After Meng Yan took it, she immediately felt much more comfortable and her breathing became smoother.

Only then did Meng Kuang breathe a sigh of relief.In the past, the sudden death of her mother, who was strongly stimulated by the tragic death of her father and brother, has always been the deepest shadow in her heart, and her younger sister has the same illness as her mother, which is also what she is most concerned about and worried about.As long as there is something wrong with her sister, it can make her nervous for a long time.Today, being stimulated by this group of refugees who did not know who was instigated to come here, this matter has already touched Meng Kuang's rebellious scales.If she doesn't find out the person behind the scenes, she will never give up.

"Hey, military lord, let me go, I don't know anything, I don't know anything! I don't want this medicine, can I do it?" An elderly refugee knelt down and begged for mercy. .

"Tell me, who distributed this delivery receipt to you?" Guo Dayou's voice sounded, presumably he had arrested a refugee and was asking why.

"I don't know, I don't know. He's just a young man, with a fair face and no beard, and he looks pretty handsome. But how can the little old man know who he is? He just said that he can come to Lingji Hall to get medicine with this receipt. They're all here. The baby at home is seriously ill, and there's nothing we can do about it. Lord Jun, please let me go."

At this time, Meng Kuang in the house said to the two in a low voice: "Qingxu, Wan'er, please block Guo Dayou for me. I will go to the backyard to find ears first, and I have something to tell her. If Guo Dayou asks, just say I'm going to warm up the quilt for Aier."

Qingxu and Meng Yan nodded, and Meng Kuang immediately went to the backyard through the back door of the main hall.She went straight to the west wing first, entered through the study door, and without opening the inner door, she stood at the inner door and said to the dormitory:

"Sui'er, you are ready to go. My boss will come to ask you something later. If you want to say that you were hunted down because you broke through the secret talks between Concubine Zheng and the Zheng family about embezzling salaries, don't reveal the relationship between you and the Zhang family in the past. Do you understand the relationship between them?"

The people in the room quickly responded: "I'll save it, you don't worry." Her voice sounded calm and calm, and there was no trace of surprise or bewilderment.

With Sui'er's intelligence, Meng Kuang didn't even need to explain.She immediately turned around and left the west wing, then ran into the east wing, took Meng Yan's thin quilt and returned to the main hall.At that time, Guo Dayou and Zhou Jintong had already talked to Meng Yan and Qingxu in the main hall, and Guo Dayou was still holding the 20 taels of silver in his hand, presumably Qingxu handed it to him.

Seeing Meng Kuang come back, he said:

"This incident really caught us off guard, Thirteen, thanks to our coming back in time, otherwise we don't know what would have happened."

Meng Kuang hugged the quilt and went to wrap Meng Yan's upper body, and then he glanced at the front yard. The group of refugees had dispersed like birds and beasts, and the yard was empty and no one was there.

"Guo Tou, what do you think this money-stealer is planning? How come there are still people who use money like this." This matter has gone beyond Zhou Jintong's comprehension.

Guo Dayou smiled, and explained to Zhou Jintong in detail:

"The purpose of this person is not to spend the money, but to make this matter big and attract the attention of many parties in the capital, especially to let the court and the government pay attention to the origin of the silver as a deposit. I guess, today This scene is not limited to our Lingji Church. It is estimated that such things will happen in all kinds of shops, large and small, in the capital. The 20 taels of money collected by Lingji Church The deposit was also collected by other shops, and it is estimated that it was distributed by this person. Then this person copied a large number of the bills of lading received and distributed them to the refugees in the capital, so that these refugees with urgent needs flocked to these places. Go to the store to pick up the ordered goods. Due to the large number of orders placed, it takes a long time to prepare the goods. It is only a day later, and the store must not be ready in time to deliver the goods smoothly, or simply refuse to recognize the copied delivery note. Conflicts will inevitably break out between the refugees and the shopkeepers, which will lead to many chaos. The news of the capital's boundary is the fastest, and within a day or two, the whole capital will know that there is such a miracle. And the shopkeeper After receiving the deposit, if you don’t get the final payment and lose the goods, you will definitely not be reconciled and report to the government. So the government will intervene in the investigation and find out the source of the deposit.”

Zhou Jintong's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he couldn't help saying: "Go around in such a big circle? Why? If you want to expose the embezzlement of military pay, you have already got the evidence of the pay, so you can just report to the official?"

"It's just that you can't do this, so you go around in circles. First, the silver thief doesn't want to expose his identity, and second, he must know that if he directly reports to the officials, the water is deep, and the officials are protecting each other. It is estimated that he will not achieve the goal he wants to achieve. Only Only by making this matter public among the people and attracting attention from many parties can we increase our chances of winning." Guo Dayou said.

Meng Yan said weakly: "In this way, this silver thief must be someone who is very familiar with the situation in the court, or he is a member of the court, and he is too involved to reveal his identity."

"This kind of devious style is not like the style of the Qingliu Party and the Yanguan Party." Guo Dayou thought about it, and did not continue in the middle of the sentence.

After being silent for a while, Guo Dayou raised a smile and said to Meng Kuang:

"Let's go and see that girl."

Meng Kuang nodded, and led Guo Dayou and Zhou Jin to the West Wing where Sui'er was imprisoned.When Guo Dayou entered the dormitory through the inner door, he saw that the woman who was in a mess that night was now tidy and groomed, sitting quietly beside a birch table, demure and peaceful, with a faint smile on her lips.Although this woman has the appearance of a foreign race in the Western Regions, her temperament is the most typical Jiangnan woman's temperament, graceful and beautiful.Every time I raise my eyebrows and tilt my eyes, there are all kinds of soft and charming styles.I don't know if she is doing this on purpose, or if she is doing it naturally, it is really charming.This kind of woman is the favorite of men all over the world, but for any normal man, no matter how determined his heart is, if he spends a long time with her, his heart will inevitably become distracted and his heart beat faster.Even Guo Dayou was dazzled by the woman's appearance and temperament when he came in, and he admired it happily.Not to mention Zhou Jintong who was following behind him, this kid was already staring intently, fascinated.

After all, Guo Dayou is an old Jianghu, and beauty is beauty, but it does not prevent him from having a clear mind and quick thinking.He had a bad feeling in his heart at this moment, this woman was probably in the most difficult state to deal with right now, she might have prepared a perfect excuse, and it would be difficult for him to find the slightest flaw from her mouth.

Don't worry, let's explore her.

He smelled the smell of wound medicine left in the house, and thought that Miss Meng might have given the woman some medicine.He glanced at the quilt on the bed not far away, it was thick and comfortable.Taking a closer look at her current state, she seems to be doing well in Meng's house these two days.

Out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Meng Kuang, who was standing beside him as cold as ice, and thought to himself, without making a sound.

Jinyiwei has a rule that if the superior does not directly entrust the interrogation task to the subordinate, then whenever there is an officer present at the interrogation occasion, the officer will interrogate directly.Guo Dayou stepped forward and sat opposite Sui Er, while Meng Kuang and Zhou Jintong stood silently behind him.

"Girl, I haven't seen you in two days, don't come here without any problems. I found a free time today and came to chat with you casually. I have introduced you before. I am from Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, and the two boys behind are me. I am a subordinate of yours. I am very curious about your identity and what happened to you, and I hope you can tell me. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best." Guo Dayou began to use his extremely powerful clichés at this time and interrogation skills.

As the Deputy Thousand Household of the Beisi Inspection Office, and also ranked eighth in the Thirteen Taibao Banks, Guo Dayou has the title of "Thousand Machine Mace".He is a miracle in the promotion of civilian-born officers in the entire Jinyiwei.He was from Yingtianfu in Nanzhili, and his family was originally a small tenant farmer.He lost his father in his early years, and remarried with his mother in Shandong, becoming the son of a butcher.I didn't learn martial arts much when I was a child, but because I was born with a strong and tall body and strong arms, I specially used two iron batons to help the family beat ground meat. At the age of 16, his mother died of illness, and his stepfather, a butcher, was hacked to death in a conflict with others. He was unaccompanied again and went north alone with a pair of iron bars for grinding meat.On the way, he encountered robbery road and killed more than 30 bandits by himself, which is passed down as a myth.At that time, the commanders of Shandong who were suppressed by the bandits caught their eye and were recruited into the army.In a few years, he grew into the strongest commander in the Shandong Army.His real strength lies not in his strength and height, but in his mind. No one knows how this man who came from a farmer butcher family has such a meticulous mind and calm mind. The agency is really a rare talent.After that, he was conscripted into Jinyiwei, and soon promoted to the position of deputy thousand households in the patrol office.A pair of iron rods for grinding meat also turned into a custom-made iron mace specially made by Jin Yiwei for him. He was nicknamed "Thousand Machine Mace" by Jin Yiwei. Since then, he has made countless contributions to Jin Yiwei.

However, Guo Ba, the "Mace of Thousand Skills", met his opponent today, and the woman in front of him was no worse than him in all kinds of tricks in her heart.So much so that after the question and answer, Guo Dayou seemed to have asked all the questions that should be asked, but when he went back and thought about it afterwards, he always felt that he was cheated, but he couldn't find any flaws.

This woman is really strange!
