Chapter 35, Lao Tzu

Manager Zhu from Baihualou came here because the girl paid for his brother's drinks, and he didn't just want to complain to the county magistrate.

He led two brothel thugs to tie up Li Delong and waited behind the screen wall of the county government office.

In the county government office, they did not dare to cause trouble. Zhu Guan stretched out his little thumb and licked the ear that was hurt by Li Delong's noise.

"I was deceived by that damn girl. When she became an apprentice, her wings became stiff. She actually dared to give me coins and pebbles to take home. How can such an unfilial person deserve to be a county government official..."

"...Manager Zhu, it's really not me who is eating the King's meal, it's that bitch. You can ask her for money later..."

If this man hadn't been his brother who was an apprentice, Manager Zhu would have really wanted to put a foot rag in his mouth.

Just when he was considering whether to take off his socks, Li Delong's yelling finally changed.

"Is there a sister like you? You are still young. It is for your own good to leave your monthly salary to the family. If you don't want to give it, just tell me. Is it possible that my brother can still steal your monthly salary? How can you lie to others?"

Behind Chen Yuan came a group of colleagues watching the fun, some of whom took out their bowls.

Manager Zhu is used to seeing all kinds of people at fireworks venues, but he doesn't care about the quarrel between the brothers and sisters. He is just here to collect the debt.

Stepping forward, Manager Zhu clasped his fists, his posture neither humble nor arrogant, "Li Wuzuo, I am the manager of Baihua Building, Zhu Biao. I am not here to cause trouble, it's just that your brother is eating wine in my Baihua Building, and he has no money, so directly

Tell him your name, and we at Baihua Tower won't embarrass him."

After all the etiquette was fulfilled, the troops started to march again. Zhu Guanshi was a veteran, with confusion and indignation on his face, "It's just that your brother used hell coins to pay. This is not only insulting, but also quite unlucky. We are open for business, so we

I hope that good luck will shine and wealth will come in. Isn’t he just here to mess with us?”

After finishing speaking, Manager Zhu waited for the other party to give an explanation.

"..."

The other party said nothing.

Manager Zhu, who was originally calm and composed, was a little annoyed. This little girl really thought that after becoming an apprentice, she would definitely be able to work in the yamen? She was so disrespectful to him.

Chen Yuan retracted her gaze from competing with Li Delong in the void for three hundred rounds, took out a small tablet, and made a few strokes.

Turn it over and hand it to Manager Zhu to see.

The notes were slender, like dragons and phoenixes, and shaped like weeds. From between the lines, Manager Zhu could tell that the little girl was very angry.

"Manager Zhu, today's matter is a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive my second brother. This is originally a family scandal that should not be disclosed to outsiders, but in order to eliminate the misunderstanding, I can only tell the truth."

"When my brother was in the capital, he was a dandy who wandered around, gambled and drank wine. Creditors would often knock on his door and demand repayment. My parents were often sad about this and could not sleep at night.

Later, the whole family was exiled here, and he had not committed a crime for three years. My mother said that no matter how difficult the conditions were, my two brothers had to study and take the imperial examination. I finally found a new job, and I had to give this money to my father.

Mom, I also made an agreement with my colleagues in the same village to go back to the village together the next day and take home the monthly salary to make my parents happy.

But I didn’t expect that my brother would come to my door today and ask me to give him my monthly salary. The old events in Beijing were like a shadow in my heart. I was afraid that my second brother would spend the money randomly and I didn’t want to give him the purse, but he came to grab it directly.

, snatched away my purse which contained Ming coins and stones."

Many people changed their angles, ran to Manager Zhu, and read the words on the paper with him.

How do they know whether what is said on the paper is true or false?

He had no choice but to look at Liu Yanchun, who lived in the same village as the two of them, "Is what Li Fei said true or false?"

"Wasn't Li Delong a medical apprentice in the capital before? Why is he still a dandy?"

The paper was full of nonsense. Liu Yanchun frowned and felt sad at the whole nonsense, as if he didn't know what to say.

The master is old and lazy. Instead of teaching him many things himself, he asks the little girl to teach him. This little senior sister is equivalent to half of his master. According to his temperament, it is not impossible for him to do things like bullying his master and destroying his ancestors.

However, I haven’t finished my studies yet, so I can’t burn bridges across the river.

The little senior sister relied on this to bully him and force him to lie. What a bad girl!

"Liu Yanchun, why are you sighing? Is what is written above true?"

"Hey~"

Liu Yanchun sighed heavily, "I just remembered the time I spent in Beijing. It was so fun at that time. I never thought that money could be spent."

Everyone's teeth were aching for a while after hearing this, but the speaker didn't seem to notice. His usually shining eyes only glanced at Li Delong, who was being held in custody, with compassion.

He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully like an elder, "Li Delong, now we have nothing, why, why don't you change your bad habits! Your sister has become a widow for you, just calm down and wait for her to take it.

Can’t you buy books with your monthly salary and go back, read them carefully, and take the imperial examinations?”

These words had the effect of revealing the truth and verifying what was written on the paper.

People who watch the excitement love to see the bad things happening in other people's homes. The less happy their families are, the more they seem to be satisfied.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, and Chen Yuan, who was laughed at, also showed an embarrassed and aggrieved expression.

"What a dandy, Liu Yanchun, your mother is the dandy. Why did you wrong me? You and this bitch worked together and wronged me. When did I gamble or drink wine in Beijing? I have never done any of this.

!" Only then did Li Delong understand that Chen Yuan, a little bitch, had spread rumors about him and wanted to ruin his reputation.

Liu Yanchun's eyes turned red, he staggered back a step, and said with grievance and self-blame, "Yes, it's not you who gambled, and it wasn't you who drank the wine. It was me who was talking nonsense."

The key point is gambling, and drinking flower wine enhances the cadence, making people pay no attention to it.

The onlookers who were doing business in the Yamen were not stupid, "Isn't this Li Delong arrested just because he drank Huajiu and had no money? How can he have the nerve to say that he never drinks Huajiu?"

"When interrogating prisoners on weekdays, how many murderers admit that they have committed murder? How many gamblers admit that they are dog gamblers? Tsk~"

"It's so pitiful that Li Fei has such a brother."

"Who would want to work in a lowly career when they can enjoy happiness at home? It turns out that it is to support my brother's education. Why can't I meet such a girl?"

"Sacrificing her own future happiness to support her whole family, Li Fei is actually a good person."

Li Delong, "?"

He obviously wanted to ruin Chen Yuan's reputation and asked her to either give her money or be fired from the yamen. How did it end up like this?

"Don't be deceived by her. She just doesn't want to give me money or give money to the Li family. She is unfaithful and unfilial. She is talking nonsense. I really never drink flower wine..."

Manager Zhu couldn't stand listening to such sophistry, "Then when you came to our Baihua Building today, you didn't pick Miss Ruhua yourself? Did you refuse the lip-to-mouth offer of wine? Why do I remember that you drank so happily?"

"...This is really my first time drinking flower wine. I really haven't..." He was caught for the first time. Li Delong felt that he couldn't escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

No one believed his explanation.

Food and color.

Sex.

Visiting a brothel was not a shameful thing for the ancients, but Li Delong refused to admit it, but others thought he was hypocritical and ridiculous.

What is the difference between once and countless times?

Manager Zhu did not forget his original intention, "Since Li Wuzuo has explained clearly, I will not pursue Li Wuzuo for counterfeiting money. You just bring the money and pay for your brother's wine."

Chen Yuan once again wrote a lot of words on the paper.

"I received a monthly salary of 125 yuan in total early in the morning. On the way to Yizhuang, I happened to pass by a bookstore. I couldn't help it, so I bought books with all the money. I didn't have enough money, so I took it on credit. From now on, I will pay back the monthly salary every month.

One point is one, it doesn't matter if I work harder, I must not delay my brothers' study and progress."

Chen Yuan looked up with a clear face, her eyes were forbearing and resolute, and she vividly played the good sister who was aggrieved but strong and thought about the whole family, and it didn't matter if she suffered a little.

Under Zhu Guanshi's suspicious eyes, she took out a cloth bag from her arms.

Open the cloth and reveal a brand new book - "Laozi".

This book vividly explains Li Delong's mood at the moment.
