Ye Xiaotian ran to the front and asked urgently: "What's the matter, Yingying, what happened?"
Xia Yingying, who was holding her skirt just now like an angry female leopard, immediately transformed into a gentle kitten, snuggled up to Ye Xiaotian, and said aggrievedly: "That bad guy treats me lightly."
"What?"
Ye Xiaotian was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Get out of the way, you two get out of the way, let me come! You old thief, how dare you treat my woman lightly. I'm doing a fundraising performance, not prostitution. You're courting death!"
Ye Xiaotian's thick-soled official opera boots kicked the fat man's ass with a "bang", and the fat man immediately screamed like a pig in pain.
Zhang Hongyan and the others are not serious entertainers at all, they are completely a group of theater fans. The tune of "play", the onlookers cheered one after another: "Good!" There was thunderous applause.
This room was even more chaotic, several policemen patrolling the streets rushed over, recently there were more and more refugees in the city, the government feared that the law and order would be ruined, so they sent a large number of policemen to patrol the streets every day to deal with all kinds of accidents in time. The policemen came forward with their knives in hand and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, whoever is playing on the street!"
They rushed into the crowd, and when they saw Ye Xiaotian, they were stunned. The person in front of them was wearing... Is this an official robe? But I don't know which dynasty and generation of officials they are, I don't know them at all, it's a bit like a costume.
Looking at the three girls next to them, the arresters were stunned again. These three girls were more beautiful than the other. Judging by their temperament and behavior, they were not girls from small families, but for some reason they showed up in public, and two of them The girl was still rolling her sleeves, revealing a part of Bai Shengsheng's arm, which was really rough.
The fat man got up from the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face. When he saw the arresters as if they were relatives, he immediately shouted: "Captain Xing, hurry up! Arrest them quickly, they are not collecting donations, they are simply robbing. If the old man is unwilling to donate money, they will fight!"
When the leader Xing Butou heard this, he immediately put on a face and shouted: "Come on, arrest them!"
"Who is so so, who wants to arrest people?"
"Dou E" rushed over with a token with the word "Zhan" sticking crookedly on her neck, fumbled around her waist, and found a piece of "Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Youqianhusuo Baihu Jingpeng" ", and put a club under Xing Butou's nose: "If you want to arrest someone, I will lend you a gut!"
Most of the second generation ancestors of these Gongbohous worked in Jinyiwei when they grew up. Kuai Peng is a member of a hundred households in Fusi, Jinyiwei Nanzhen. The policemen dare not provoke this group of wealthy young masters, they are thankful if they don't take the initiative to cause trouble.
In the end, the member could only admit that he was unlucky, and left in despair with a few policemen.
At this time, Sister Sun suddenly screamed: "Oh, the money raised is gone!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the two cash boxes were trampled in the chaos, and the few charitable funds inside were also picked up by the people watching the excitement.
※※※
When dusk approached, Tang Xianzu and his party were exhausted, and without changing their costumes, they rushed back to the congee shed with gongs, drums and cymbals. Xu Qiyun had already learned from the servants and clerks here that they were going to raise money for a charity performance today. Now, seeing their dingy appearance, another round of ridicule and ridicule is inevitable.
Xu Qiyun is not here, this is a young man, he came out in person the first day to gamble, stood here for a whole day, and did not come back the next day, only let Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing watch here, these two people also said that The son of a high-ranking official, but in order to flatter the young father-in-law, he was willing to be a dog's leg. But these two people are not here at this time, and their servants and cooks are there to cook and distribute porridge.
Zhang Hongyan and the others respected their identities, so of course they couldn't compete with other servants. They sat down under the shed and asked, "How much did you raise today?"
Qiao Zhenhua counted and replied: "It's less than a hundred coins, hey! Even if the fundraising box has never been stolen before, it's less than three hundred coins in total."
Tang Xianzu said awkwardly: "In the past, there were quite a lot of people who went to the theater, but I don't want them to disappear when it's time for them to donate money."
Kuai Peng complained: "It seems that this method will not work! Lao Tang, I am also a hundred households of Jinyiwei. If my colleagues see this, I will have to ridicule me. If I really want to raise money, I will pay it back. If I want to be ridiculed by others, why should I come here?"
At this moment, Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing led a few servants over triumphantly, and the servants behind were carrying a box, which looked extremely heavy. When they got to the shed, they put the box on a table. Guan Xiaokun looked over here as if to demonstrate, and opened the box as soon as he raised his hand.
"Wow! A lot of silver!"
The people under the shed immediately went into an uproar, and the refugees standing in front of them also started to commotion. Zhang Hongxuan stood up and took a look, and saw that the box was bright and clear, and it was indeed full of silver ingots. How much money? The pocket money given by their family? I wouldn’t believe it even if I was killed!”
Guan Xiaokun said in a loud voice: "Folks, have you seen this? This is the silver taels raised by us and Mr. Xu to help you. A flood and starvation in the city, I will see it in my eyes, how can I be indifferent? Don't worry, this We will continue to open the porridge shed, so that no one of you will starve to death!"
"Good man, great good man!"
Many people knelt down and kowtowed gratefully.
Rui Qingxing glanced proudly at Zhang Hongyan, and said loudly: "There are people who are too self-sufficient and imitate us to do good deeds. Doing good deeds is a good thing, but you have to do what you can. If you don't have that diamond, don't do porcelain work. How much rice can be bought with the raised money? Porridge? It’s almost the same for raising chickens.”
Guan Xiaokun laughed loudly and said: "Hey, it's good if you know it, and you can't tell the truth. People are trying to gain fame, so of course they have to pretend. But even if they pretend, it can be regarded as doing good deeds anyway, so we don't need to be too concerned about it." demanding."
Kuai Peng was furious, and he was about to rush over to beat someone as soon as he glared, Ye Xiaotian and Tang Xianzu quickly stopped him. Xia Yingying looked angrily at the group of complacent people opposite, and said: "Why are these people like this, really, you really tried everything to save people, I know you did your best, don't care what they say. "
The beauty's relief made several people feel very relieved, but Zhang Hongyan was still very depressed when he thought that the bet was about to fail, and said unhappily: "I'm afraid I will lose this time. It's strange, where did they get so much money? The elders in their family ask for help? It shouldn’t be.”
Kuai Peng thought for a while and said, "That's right! They can get so much money, there must be something wrong, I'll go and find out."
Ye Xiaotian said: "How do you check?"
Kuai Peng said: "Do you think my Jinyiwei is a fake? Humph, I still can't find out about this matter. Do I still need to mess around in Nanjing?"
Upstairs in Qingyan, there is a tall, soap-colored figure standing tall, looking over the railing, the invisible wind sweeps the streamers behind his head, like a fairy Lingchen, a beautiful woman holding a pipa in the building flicks her fingers, The eyes looking at him couldn't help revealing a hint of admiration.
However, although this beauty is beautiful, she also knows that her status is humble, and she is quite ashamed of herself in front of such a noble gentleman with refined manners. Dare to be a little delusional.
The good young master who is out of dust and super ordinary, like a fairy in the sky, is naturally Uncle Li Guo. Although he couldn't hear what the two sides were saying at the congee shed from a distance, he could clearly see the fighting between the two sides. He saw Ye Xiaotian and his group fall Uncle Li raised the jade cup in his hand and took a sip, with a charming smile on his lips.
The musician who was stroking the pipa was disturbed by his charming smile, and the music under his fingers was a little messy. She hastened to gather her mind, blushed and took a sneak peek at the young man who was as bright and clean as white jade, but was disappointed to find that he didn't look back at all.
Uncle Li Guo slowly tasted the taste of the fine wine, feeling a little complacent in his heart. He taught Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing how to raise funds. He just wanted that fairy-like concubine-like Miss Xia to see Ye Xiaotian's embarrassment and incompetence. He wanted Miss Xia to know that he was the one to rely on her Man, he is the towering tree that can shelter this strange flower from wind and rain, and Ye Xiaotian...
The corners of Uncle Li Guo's lips raised arrogantly: "It's just a piece of useless piece of wood!"
…
"Hey, if someone else wears jewelry on her body..." Xia Yingying gave Ye Xiaotian a embarrassed look, and said: "I pretended to take a bath, dived to leave the island in the middle of the lake, and secretly boarded the second sister's boat without any valuable jewelry..."
Zhan Ning'er spread her hands and said, "At least you still have jewelry, I never dress up."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Even if you wear jewelry, I can't take it. Let's do good deeds and do our best. I can't ask you to donate all your beloved jewelry."
Zhang Hongxuan said: "That's right! If I win, I want to be upright, and if I lose, I need to be upright. My daughter's family's precious jewelry will be used as a dowry in the future. If Zhang won them by relying on your donations, Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing, I, Zhang, don't bother to do it!"
While talking in this room, Kuai Peng hurried back and said repeatedly: "I see, I finally figured it out, I finally know where they got the money from."
Several people hurriedly gathered around and said in one voice: "Quickly tell me, what did they think of?"
Kuai Peng said: "Guess where they got the money from? Hey! Guan Xiaokun and Rui Qingxing actually went to 'beg for alms'!"
Everyone said in unison: "Alms for alms?"
Kuai Peng said: "That's right! Guan Xiaokun's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Rui Qingxing's father is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. They are both high-ranking and powerful, not to mention the young prince. His father is the emperor of Nanjing City. In the name of these fathers, they swindled and cheated, went to the rich and powerful families to donate one by one, and this is the money they got."
