Chapter 233: Jiangzhou Old Friend Song Yulian
Cao Jie traveled far and wide and came into contact with many high-ranking officials and senior officials. People like Shi Wenbin were really good officials.
Although this person also embezzled and accepted bribes and embezzled a lot of money while in office, he was willing to do things!
It is a local official's job to strictly prevent banditry, protect the territory and the people, and rectify social customs.
Later, he met Cao Jie, was dragged into the water, and was bribed by gold and silver. His bottom line was lowered again and again, and he lost his principles as a local official.
But for Liangshan, he would do his job once he received the money and never shirked his responsibilities.
A very good official.
Although Shi Wenkui, the magistrate of Yanggu County, is more greedy for money, he also loves Han people and has some bottom line.
The herbal medicine shop in Yanggu County was doing well, without any of these messed up things.
This County Magistrate Zhao is too vulgar and greedy. He even arranged for his own nephews to be the two chiefs of the county.
How could a county captain who is responsible for practical work make such arrangements?
This is purely the attitude of someone who doesn't want to achieve political achievements and just wants to squeeze the people's money and leave.
What's worse is that this person has no eyesight at all.
Two years ago, you took advantage of me and called me Xiao Cao, but I didn't care because I was not strong enough at that time. Now you are doing this to me, do you think my Liangshan sword is not sharp enough?
Cao Jie had no intention of meeting County Magistrate Zhao. In his mind, this man was already dead.
Give me what you took from me, and spit out what you ate from me.
that is it.
When Bai Xiuying finished her "Yiyi Yaya" song, Bai Yuqiao followed suit and sang: "Although I have no talent for buying horses or betting on gold, I still need to be a wise judge. The audience cheered and said it was over. My son will come back for a while, and the next step is the court version of the drum."
Bai Xiuying picked up the plate and pointed, saying, "Start from the wealth gate, stay on the profitable ground, pass through the auspicious ground, and go up the prosperous ground. When your hand reaches in front of you, don't let it pass in vain."
Bai Yuqiao said with a smile: "My son, please go for a walk. The audience will be waiting to reward you!"
Bai Xiuying carried the plate and went to the VIP room first. She said a few nice words and then handed the plate to Cao Jie.
Seeing that he was handsome and heroic, her eyes fell on Cao Jie, her eyes were as charming as waves, with clefts and grooves.
Cao Jie didn't like such a cheap woman at all, so he asked Liu Tang to throw two pieces of silver and prepared to send her away.
Seeing so many people only giving this little money, Bai Xiuying smiled and said, "The first vinegar is not strong and the last is thin. Sir, you should take your place and make a bid."
This means to let him hit the charts.
If you don't like her, then just give her more rewards.
Cao Jie looked at her seriously for a few seconds and threw two pieces of silver.
Bai Xiuying and her daughter's expressions suddenly changed and their smiles disappeared.
"My son, you have no vision. You don't look at the people in the city or the country, but only ask what they want. Go and ask the knowledgeable officials to report the leader."
Bai Xiuying rolled her eyes, turned around and left.
Who are the people around Cao Jie? How could they swallow such anger? Liu Tang stretched out his hand to stop him, and heard Cao Jie say: "She is just an actress, why are you arguing with her?"
Soon, Wu Dalang presented many delicious dishes, and the opera on the stage started singing "Yi Yi Ya Ya" again, and the tune seemed somewhat familiar.
Cao Jie looked over there and said, "Huh!"
"Isn't that the family of Mr. Song from Jiangzhou?" Liu Tang said.
Wu Dalang turned his head and looked: "Brother, do you recognize them?"
"I recognized them in Jiangzhou, Dalang. When did they come to your store?"
"The Song family came in late summer. I saw that Song Yulian played the pipa very well, so she stayed in the store to perform. To be honest, the sales have increased a lot... Since they are acquaintances, I will ask them to come to see my brother." "No hurry, let them finish singing before coming."
"it is good!"
After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Song and his wife, as well as the beautiful Song Yulian, came in holding a pipa.
"I am honored to meet you, my dear lord, and all the good men."
Song Yulian followed suit and bowed, then glanced around secretly a few more times. Not seeing the man, she lowered her eyes, feeling a little disappointed.
"Mr. Song, how did your family get from Jiangzhou to Yuncheng, Shandong?" Cao Jie asked.
It’s not a peaceful journey!
Mr. Song sighed, "Ever since the great master finished his business and returned to Shandong, a great disaster has occurred in Jiangzhou. My whole family was involved, but luckily we escaped with our lives. We couldn't survive in Jiangzhou, so we came to Shandong. It was a life-threatening journey!"
Cao Jie looked at Song Yulian a few more times and said with a smile, "Why don't you marry a good man and still sing here?"
With her beauty, it is more than enough for her to find a rich man and become his concubine.
Song Yulian's small hands were pinching the corners of her clothes, and she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, only mosquito-like sounds came out.
Mr. Song bowed again and said, "To be honest with you, sir, we came to Yuncheng to look for someone."
"Oh! Who is it?"
"Back then, there was a captain named Tie Niu beside the great official. He saved the lives of our whole family... so..."
"Pfft...haha!"
Everyone spit out the drinks in their mouths: "Who are you talking about? Tie Niu?"
"That fellow Li Kui... is so lucky that I came all the way here to seek refuge with him."
"Let me laugh. I will laugh at this joke for the rest of my life!"
After everyone laughed, they all looked sad again.
People are so irritating!
How could that black bastard win the girl's heart? !
We are all good men, and although we don't get close to women for the sake of practicing, but... it makes me angry just thinking about it!
Mr. Song smiled bitterly, "He called himself Tie Niu and was a captain. Later, when Jiangzhou was in chaos, he disappeared. I heard from performing at the Pipa Pavilion that all of you heroes are from Yuncheng...
I couldn't make a living in Jiangzhou anymore, and Jiangnan was in chaos, so I came here to sing and sell my songs. Yuncheng is really a good place, and Wu's eldest son is a good man. He gave my family a place to eat, and I could live comfortably by singing and selling my songs every day.
Their family was from Tokyo and ended up in Jiangzhou. Although they were poor, they had seen the world.
Seeing that the world is becoming more and more chaotic, ordinary rich people may go bankrupt. How can they feel safe? It is better to find someone capable.
More importantly, they had frequent contact with Cao Jie and his group. If they had not left early, they might not have been able to leave.
When they arrived in Yuncheng, Shandong, the Wu Family Restaurant was very famous, and Song Yulian's pipa sounded like "big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate", so she became the mainstay of the restaurant.
But less than a month after playing the piano, Bai Xiuying came.
With the support of the county magistrate, Bai Xiuying naturally enjoyed great glory, while Song Yulian was relegated to second place.
Anyway, I have settled down in Yuncheng.
Cao Jie thought for a moment and asked, "Since your daughter likes Li Tieniu, how about I be a matchmaker?"
Mr. Song was overjoyed and bowed: "It's all up to you, sir."
Song Yulian left the box with a shy look on her face. Seeing this, Bai Xiuying immediately came up to her and asked around. Her oval face suddenly darkened...
