Earn money to support your family in ancient times

In the middle of the night, the air exhaled outside could form into fine ice particles, and he wrapped himself in a cotton padded coat, curled his neck, knocked on the gong, and yelled twice at random, beware of candles and the like.

Tang Yuan didn't sleep well, and when the gong hit, he woke up suddenly.

He collected himself, glanced at Huzi who was sleeping snoringly under the blanket, and shook his head helplessly.

Putting on clothes, got out of bed and poured a glass of water, took a sip, the water was ice cold, especially in the middle of the night when the temperature was the lowest, after taking a sip of water, it was as if a handful of snow had been poured into the throat, it was so cold Yuan shook his body.

He tightened his clothes and lay back on the bed. Perhaps he was stimulated by the cold water, but now he was very awake and didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

Since he didn't feel sleepy, Tang Yuan didn't open his eyes and stare blankly, he was thinking about what to do next.

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard movement in the back well.

He fixed his gaze, the sound didn't sound like the wind blowing things down, nor the sound of icicles falling from the eaves, but the sound of someone accidentally falling over the wall.

Tang Yuan looked at Hu Zi, hesitating whether to wake him up, but there was another movement from the back well, this time he was sure that someone must be playing tricks!

Tang Yuan didn't hesitate any longer, and stretched out his hand to push Hu Zi awake. Hu Zi half-opened his eyes, and just about to speak, he covered his mouth.

"Brother Huzi, there are people outside." Tang Yuan said to Huzi in a breathy voice.

Hu Zi woke up immediately, and nodded to Tang Yuan, indicating that Tang Yuan could let go.

Tang Yuan let go, and Hu Zi threw off the quilt without even putting on any clothes. He got out of bed and took a stick from behind the door.

Tang Yuan looked around, but couldn't find any useful "weapon", so he took a bench.

"San'er, I'll go out and have a look, hurry up and wrap up some clothes!" Seeing that Tang Yuan was also wearing single clothes, Hu Zi hurriedly said, remembering the last time he was sick.

Tang Yuan thought that the movement just now did not look like there were several people, and worried that he would get hot again, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come as soon as I undress."

Tang Yuan put down the bench, put on some clothes in a hurry, and just lowered his head, he saw Huzi holding a long stick, opened the door suddenly, and rushed out.

"Who's there!" Huzi rushed into the back well and shouted angrily.

I saw a figure in the thatched shed where the donkeys are usually fed, groping for something to pour on the thatched shed.

Tang Yuan frowned, and threw the bench at the man not far away.

The man was hit right on the ground, and with an "ouch", he fell to the ground, and the sparks in his hand rolled to the ground.

"Okay! It turned out to be an arsonist!" Huzi rushed forward with a stick.

The man quickly got up, picked up the torch at hand and threw it into the straw shed without looking at it, then climbed up the wall with his buttocks pouted.

The sparks in the torch splashed on the thatched shed, and the thatched shed was instantly ignited.

Huzi and Tang Yuan wanted to chase again, but when they saw the fire, they quickly poured water to put out the fire.

Fortunately, they discovered it early, and poured five or six buckets of water to put out the fire.

"His grandma! He let that bastard run away! If you let me know who did it, I won't beat him to death!" Huzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the half-burned thatched hut, and gritted his teeth typical.

There is no moon in the sky today, and it is completely covered by thick, dark clouds. The night is so deep that people cannot be seen clearly from a distance.

Tang Yuan took a few breaths, shrugged his nose, and sniffed: "That man was doused with kerosene."

"You bastard! I thought that if we start burning from here, we won't be disturbed. If we don't know it, the surrounding fire will surround us, and we won't be able to run out!" Hu Zi blushed with anger, and said in a rough voice. Authentic, "Even if I can run out, this store will be burnt to the brim!"

Tang Yuan thought of Zhang Dong's look at him before he left, and he felt hesitant.

He had already felt something in his heart, and he was not too angry at this time, he just said to Huzi: "Brother Huzi, since you are fine, go back and rest, and report to the yamen tomorrow morning."

"Success! I'll go to the yamen to report to the officials at daybreak!" Huzi doesn't care about the fact that he will be skinned when he enters the yamen. This will involve a life lawsuit. If you know it, you must take care of it!"

Although the yamen is dark, there are very few such bad things in this town. Anyone who hears about arson in the middle of the night will be afraid.

Hu Zi scolded him angrily, and when he saw that Tang Yuan hadn't put on his clothes, he rushed him into the room: "San'er, hurry up and lie down under the quilt, don't get sick again!"

Remembering this matter, Tang Yuan and Huzi didn't sleep well, they just squinted for a while, and went to the yamen to beat the drums at dawn.

It happened that Mrs. Zhou and her husband Liu Bukuai came out today, and Liu Bukuai yawned and impatiently came out to check. When he saw Tang Yuan, he recognized him.

"So it's Boss Tang, what's the matter for coming here so early in the morning?" Catcher Liu quickly put away the impatient look on his face, and spoke softly.

Tang Yuan bowed his hands to him: "Last night, a thief broke into my shop and set fire to it. Although my buddy and I found out, but unfortunately we didn't catch anyone, and we didn't see him clearly, so I came to report to the officials and asked the county magistrate to make the decision." .”

When Captain Liu heard that it was such an evil thing, he straightened his face and said to Tang Yuan: "Boss Tang, wait a moment, I will report to the county magistrate."

The county magistrate is currently teasing his youngest son while having breakfast in the backyard. Seeing Captain Liu coming over quickly, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Detective Liu quickly returned truthfully, the county magistrate's wife covered her chest in shock, frowned and said to the county magistrate: "Master, you should go and have a look, if this kind of villain is not caught as soon as possible, it will be good!"

Although the county magistrate was a little bit greedy, his heart was not completely darkened, and he still had time to think about his political achievements in his spare time. Hearing this, he turned serious, stood up and said, "Bring that Boss Tang to the hall!"

"Yes." Catcher Liu responded quickly, and then came out to bring Tang Yuan and Hu Zi to the hall.

The county magistrate raised his chin at Tang Yuan with an air of adjutant: "Who is this under the hall? Why are you reporting to the official?"

Detective Liu quickly gave Tang Yuan a wink and asked Tang Yuan to kneel down. Tang Yuan froze and pursed his lips. Finally seeing the magistrate's expression impatient, he gritted his teeth and knelt down to tell the story.

The county magistrate had a bit of a brain, and asked Tang Yuan who had any enemies. After Tang Yuan told about Zhang Dong, the magistrate immediately sent a few policemen to investigate. Go to several kerosene shops in the town and ask who has bought kerosene these days.

There were not many kerosene shops in the town, so I asked after a while, and sure enough there was Zhang Dong.

The county magistrate thought that he was in charge of this matter anyway, and the matter was clear, so he asked a few policemen to take Zhang Dong in a big way, to show that he was a "Master Qingtian".

The town is only that big, and the police officers are very familiar with each other, and they caught people after running a few places.

Bringing people to the hall, Zhang Dong didn't recognize him at first, but after being beaten several times, he couldn't stand the trick.

Now there is nothing to say, the county magistrate sentenced Zhang Dong for attempted murder on the spot and exiled him.

Tang Yuan was quite satisfied with this result, and he bowed his hands to compliment the magistrate: "Thank you, magistrate, for your insight."

The county magistrate was very helpful, stroked his two beards, and nodded with a smile: "It's all what I should do."

Two police officers dragged Zhang Dong down. Zhang Dong struggled and shouted in a hurry: "Master County Magistrate! It was Mr. Sun from Baishan Building who asked me to do it! He asked me to steal Tangji restaurant." Fang Zi! Later, the surnamed Tang fired me, and he was so cruel that he told me to set fire! I was forced!"

Because the county magistrate wanted to show off, a circle of people gathered in the hall, and when they heard Zhang Dong's words, they all started discussing.

Tang Yuan also frowned, believing Zhang Dong's words, especially about stealing the prescription.

He stepped forward and said to the magistrate, "Since Zhang Dong said so, please call Master Sun to ask."

Mr. Sun of Baishanlou gave money to the county magistrate every year, and also gave gifts on festivals, so the county magistrate did not want to embarrass Mr. Sun.

But with so many people watching in the hall, he was the one who recruited it himself, even if it was just pretending, he still had to ask someone to ask.

The county magistrate glared at Zhang Dong, thinking that he would make this man look good later, and at the same time told the police to invite Master Sun over.

Mr. Sun not only owns the property of Baishan Building, but also has dozens of acres of paddy fields in the countryside. He is also a well-known figure in the town. He came here. Very gentle.

Of course, Master Sun did not acknowledge what Zhang Dong said. In fact, he did not ask Zhang Dong to set fire. This was all done by Zhang Dong with a grudge in his heart. Therefore, when he replied, he was very righteous.

Zhang Dong couldn't produce any evidence. The strong man who threatened him belonged to Master Sun, so he couldn't have betrayed Master Sun.

Instead, it was Zhang Dong, the county magistrate hated him and beat him ten times before he was dragged down.

Looking at this situation, Tang Yuan also knew that he had nothing to do with Mr. Sun, so he didn't say much, and went back to the store after the case was over.

On the way, he asked Huzi: "Brother Huzi, do you know what Baishanlou is most famous for?"

Huzi scratched his head: "Of course it's wine, oh yes, and their dishes are said to be made by the royal chef from the palace. The name of the dish is exquisite, and a small amount can sell for several taels of silver. Woolen cloth!"

"That's it," Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then let's also make wine. As for fine dishes, no matter how fine they are, I can't beat them."

Since the Baishan Building is not good for him, don't blame him for ruthless grabbing business!

Before, he didn't do the wine business because he thought it was troublesome and couldn't spare time. He knew a little of all kinds of fruit wine, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to compete with Baishanlou.

As for fine dishes, he didn't believe that Baishanlou could invite a real imperial chef, it was just a gimmick.

Don't talk about anything else, just take out a few menus from Mr. Cao's famous book in his previous life, I don't know how much more detailed than Baishanlou's, and it's quite bluffing.
