Why is that boy Shu Wenqing so good, taking the lead in collecting hard work expenses for himself?
I want the young master to jump into the fire pit!
Jia Liu was very good at reading people, and he could tell at a glance that the boy named Shu had bad intentions.
The problem is that people named Shu are not sure about him.
As a result of their mutual calculations, Jia Liu's originally deflated pocket gradually bulged again.
Life is truly unpredictable.
But this time, Jia Liu was really moved.
He did not expect that Zu Yingyuan, Liu Heyi, Chang Bingzhong, and Wang Fu, who they only caught up with after leaving the military camp, could be so loyal.
Although these four people should not show loyalty at this juncture, because it made Jia Liu very passive and was not conducive to the next step of the work, he still accepted the kindness of these four people.
In order to live up to his friends' generosity, Jia Liu took them to Hu Chihai, the best restaurant in Chongzhou that Yang Yuchun said, and had a meal, spending a total of seven or eight yuan, plus a tip of ten coppers from Mr. Liu.
After finishing the work, we will continue to take some good friends to visit the ancient sights in Chongzhou City.
Finally, I stopped at a small stall selling breast milk. I sat down on a small stool and asked the boss to fill a bowl for everyone.
Everyone had just eaten in a big restaurant, and they all had plump bellies, and they couldn't eat anything.
Moreover, it’s already late (two o’clock in the afternoon), judging from the weather. Didn’t Team Jia take everyone to the Governor’s Yamen yesterday?
How long will this take?
"Captain, when should we go to the Yamen?"
Liu Heyi looked at the steaming breasts brought by the stall owner, but he had no appetite at all.
"Go after eating, go after eating..."
Jia Liu picked up the bowl and took a sip without caring about burning his mouth. He couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, it's delicious. You guys should eat it too...eat slowly and don't burn it."
Seeing this, several people had no choice but to taste it, regardless of whether they could eat it or not.
Everything has been brought, what should I do if I don’t want to eat it?
Yang Yuchun, a half-year-old child, had a really good appetite and licked the bowl clean in no time.
Jia Liu was very satisfied: "If it tastes good, eat more. Then, have another bowl!"
"No, no, Master Jia, I really can't eat anymore."
Yang Yuchun looked like he was about to die: Jia Ye was indeed right, following him would really make him a good person.
"If you don't eat, I will."
Jia Liu clearly didn't finish the bowl in front of him, but he asked the stall owner to serve him another bowl, and then continued to taste it slowly in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
From time to time, it would "whir" and blow.
Several people sat on the edge and watched, their expressions slowly changing.
They seemed to realize something.
Finally, Liu Heyi couldn't sit still anymore, coughed slightly, and said tentatively: "Captain, if you are afraid, I don't think you should go...anyone doesn't mean that little money anyway."
"Well, even if we have to come down, we can't tell each other much. I think it's better to go back." Wang Fu, who had the courage to follow, was eager to go back.
Zu Yingyuan and Chang Bingzhong didn't say anything. From a practical point of view, it would be better for the governor's office not to go. But if Jia Liu really wanted to go, since they said they would accompany him, they would definitely accompany him to the end.
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to run away in the middle of battle.
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of?"
Jia Liu obviously wanted to get off the donkey along the slope, but the dead duck was still a bit stubborn.
After hearing this, Zu Yingyuan nodded and urged: "Then you should eat quickly. After eating, we will go to the governor's office as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."
"Ah, um."
He said this, but the problem was that Jia Liu ate slower and slower.
Several loyal fellows from the Eight Banners could not wait any longer, and they all realized that something was definitely not right.
A thought flashed through Chang Bingzhong's mind, a very scary thought, but he still wasn't convinced that Guiziliu, whom he had grown up with since childhood, could do that.
In order to verify, he moved the small bench forward, approached Jia Liu and asked softly: "Isn't everyone's money swallowed by your kid?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
"Impossible, even if my young master is in all kinds of bad ways and wrong, how could he do such a ungrateful thing! Mr. Chang, you are too insulting to my young master!"
Yang Zhi was particularly angry. He was a loyal protector of his master and would not allow others to say anything bad about his young master.
Yang Yuchun also felt that such a happy person as Mr. Jia would not do such shameful things.
The problem is, Master Jia's body is trembling slightly for some reason, his left hand holding the big bowl also seems to be shaking, and his right hand holding the spoon is frozen there - motionless!
how?
Could it be?
Oh my god!
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they began to breathe quickly.
"..."
After a long battle between heaven and man, Jia Liu finally plucked up the courage, put down the small spoon in his hand, took a deep breath, and smiled awkwardly at Chang Bingzhong and the others: "Old Chang is really good at judging people."
Show your cards, stop pretending.
I can’t pretend anymore.
Long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.
.......
"Tell me, what did you do with everyone's money!"
Chang Bingzhong was really angry. Guiziliu was too brave.
"I used it to buy an official position."
Jia Liu's answer was clear and concise.
"ah?"
Liu Heyi understood that he was the one who caused the affair. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Captain, even if you buy an official position, you can't use everyone's money to buy it!"
Jia Liu was troubled: "Don't I have no money?"
Admitting that you have no money is sometimes not a bad thing.
"At this point, I can only ask you to help me hide it." Jia Liu couldn't imagine that he had no choice but to drag these righteous heroes into the water.
Chang Bingzhong curled his lips: "How long can this be hidden?"
"It is a serious crime to embezzle military pay..."
Wang Fuzong is loyal, but can he be loyal in this matter?
But Zu Yingyuan said "Oh": "That's okay."
"ah?"
Wang Fu looked at Zu Yingyuan stupidly, "Can this be hidden?"
"We'll all go our separate ways tomorrow. Who will remember this?"
Wang Fu was stunned for a moment: "Then what should I tell them when I go back?"
"Just say that we have been to the governor's office and the superiors will know about it."
Zu Yingyuan looked at Wang Fu, who was a little nervous, and grinned: "If they have the courage to ask, we won't be able to come out."
Jia Liu was very happy that Zu Yingyuan saw the key point. He had planned to do this in the first place.
Even if this matter is exposed in the future, it will take at least a while. By then, these people will be assigned to different places, and there will not be much to pay for themselves. Who will have trouble with Jia Liu for such a small amount of money.
At worst, I can just wait until I become an official and think of a way to move it.
Can a living person be choked to death by peeing?
"As the name suggests, Guiziliu is Guiziliu, he is a very good thief."
I don't know whether Zu Yingyuan's words were praising Jia Liu or hurting Jia Liu.
Jia Liu said that the money was a temporary loan to him, and he would guarantee that everyone would pay it back when he had the money.
"Old Chang, you know, in my whole life, I have never done a single evil thing." Jia Liu used his personality and reputation to guarantee that he would never be someone who would not pay back money.
"Immoral..."
Yang Zhi muttered, not daring to say anything.
Chang Bingzhong opened his mouth, but did not tell the story about how Jia Liu tricked him into climbing over the wall in Yihong Court last year to escape the debt.
After all, this matter is not decent.
"This is the only way to go. What else can you do if you are a soft-spoken person?"
Lao Chang clapped his hands in frustration and drank most of the bowl of bean curd in one gulp.
On the way back, everyone was a little unhappy, or looked awkward, and they didn't get together with Jia Liu.
"Don't be like this, everyone can forget me when I become an official, but you must never forget..."
"How about I invite you to the building again to have some fun?"
Jia Liu, who had a guilty conscience and a sense of injustice, accompanied Smiley all the way, but he was not appreciated.
As soon as they left the city gate, a carriage came out. The driver looked at Jia Liu and his entourage who were walking in front of him, and hurriedly called Jia Liu from the carriage.
Jia Liu turned around and saw who the groom Ge Wu was if it wasn't A's guard.
After stopping the carriage and jumping out of the carriage, Ge Wu walked up to Jia Liu, called him "Ba Ba" and said with a smile on his face: "I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Jia!"
