The father who Ye Xiaotian sees that dead fatty has been mad results in the mouth to look askance crookedly, was not a brick operated his son's head wooden scoop, was the air/Qi results in the cerebral hemorrhage to be unconscious, the hurrying rivers and lakes helped in an emergency, rush ahead one step to say loudly: „Landlord Hong please appease anger, your son body hides the brick...... to really have the reason of having no other choice.” 叶小天见那死胖子的老爹已经气得嘴歪眼斜,接下来不是一砖头开了他儿子的脑瓜瓢,就是气得脑溢血不省人事,赶紧江湖救急,抢上一步高声说道:“洪员外请息怒,令公子身藏板砖……实有不得已之理由。” Landlord Hong has turned around, high and low sizes up, seeing is a county yamen (government office) official, the complexion slightly clearing weather, asked: „Doesn't know this Sir honored name?” 洪员外转过身,上下一打量,见是一位县衙门的官员,脸色稍霁,问道:“不知这位大人尊姓大名？” At this time Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian led a class of bailiff to catch up, saw two people to reply, did not speak, only toward him behind a station. Ye Xiaotian said: „This officer new Hu county Code of History Ai Feng.” 这时李云聪和苏循天带着一班捕快赶过来,见二人正在对答,也不说话,只往他身后一站。叶小天道:“本官新任葫县典史艾枫。” Landlord Hong was perfunctory arches said submissively: „Greeting on first meeting, the greeting on first meeting, just now the Sir said in my son book bag the concealed brick to have the reason of having no other choice, is Hong really puzzled its meaning?” 洪员外敷衍地拱了拱手道:“久仰,久仰,方才大人说犬子书包内藏砖头有不得已的理由,洪某着实不解其意？” Daheng said: „...... This brick......” 大亨道:“啊……这板砖……” Landlord Hong gets angry saying: „You shut up! The father is untrustworthy your words!” 洪员外黑着脸道:“你闭嘴！老子信不过你的话！” Landlord Hong reproved son one, shifts to Ye Xiaotian, said submissively: „Sir please say.” 洪员外训斥了儿子一句,又转向叶小天,拱手道:“大人请讲。” Ye Xiaotian said: „landlord has not to know, today county student between had the quarrel/corners of the mouth, both sides attack brutally. When this officer business after county school, goes on the way handles, but sees in the scholars only to have your son to be never without a book in one's hand, was still studying with single-hearted devotion, its love of study really praise worthy.” 叶小天道:“员外有所不知,今天县学生员们之间发生了口角,双方大打出手。本官公干途中经过县学,前往处置时,但见众学子中唯有令公子一人手不释卷,仍在专心读书,其好学之心着实可嘉啊。” Daheng listened to Ye Xiaotian such disgusting flattering, blushed with shame secretly, he traces subconsciously hides in the bosom erotic (novel) novel, listens to Ye Xiaotian also saying: „This matter, not only this relatives of government officials eyes institute sees, is my these people also watches, is this?” 大亨听了叶小天这么肉麻的吹捧,不由暗自汗颜了一把,他下意识地摸了摸藏在怀里的艳.情小说,就听叶小天又道:“此事不仅本官亲眼所见,便是我身边这些人也都看在眼里,是不是这样？” The last few words, Ye Xiaotian is turns head to ask that Li Yuncong and these bailiffs had seen Luo Daheng is calm the scene in the chaotic war and with single-hearted devotion studying, what read as for him was what book is not naturally able to know, Ye Xiaotian asked that they nodded in abundance. 最后一句话,叶小天是扭头问的,李云聪和那些捕快是看到过罗大亨在乱战之中处变不惊、专心读书的场面的,至于他读的是什么书自然无从知道,叶小天一问,他们纷纷点头。 Ye Xiaotian said: „These students really make do not make sense, in the tangled warfare threw off your son's writing desk, beat the writing-set, saw that your son must be injured, has to take up the brick to break through a tight encirclement carelessly together, the situation was very at that time urgent, this officer treats and cures, is ashamed and ashamed.” 叶小天道:“那些学生闹得实在不像话,混战之中掀翻了令公子的书案,打烂了文房四宝,眼看令公子也要被人打伤,只好胡乱抄起一块板砖杀出重围,当时情况十分紧急,本官救治不及,惭愧、惭愧。” Landlord Hong one hear of this saying, transfer the anger to immediately happily, he looked at son one eyes joyfully, the old bosom consoles to say greatly: „Daheng was unexpectedly sensible, good, well, in vain is not father pains. Daheng, you must continue to try hard, cannot slightly have the result to be cocky, must guard against arrogance and impetuosity , to continue to study hard, tests the scholar, to test Juren (graduate), the foremost person in the field, the heavy responsibility of brilliant Luo may depend entirely on you, knows?” 洪员外一听这话,顿时转怒为喜,他满心欢喜地看了儿子一眼,老怀大慰道:“大亨竟然懂事了,好,好好,不枉为父一番苦心。大亨啊,你还要继续努力,不可小有成绩就翘尾巴,要戒骄戒躁,继续用功,考秀才、考举人,中状元,光大罗家的重任可全靠你了,知道吗？” Daheng exhibits the clever son appearance that listens to reason modestly to come again and again the nod name is. 大亨摆出一副虚心受教的乖儿子模样来连连点头称是。 Ye Xiaotian said: „Landlord Hong, this officer visits today specially your. Heard that landlord and Shi Bixing uses/gives big storekeeper is the good friend, shopkeeper Shi dies a violent death, this officer wants to landlord to inquire that some are related his matter, does not know that landlord can be willing to instruct me?” 叶小天道:“洪员外,本官今日是特意来拜访你的。听说员外与施必行施大掌柜是好友,施掌柜暴死,本官想向员外打听一些有关他的事情,不知员外可肯见教？” Landlord Hong said: „! Originally Sir Historian comes for uses/gives my worthy brother's matter. Please please, welcome take a seat to the hall, with some tea, we said again slowly.” 洪员外道:“啊！原来典史大人是为了施贤弟的事情而来。请请请,请到厅中就坐,用些茶水,咱们再慢慢说。” Ye Xiaotian said: „Held in the mouth to harass.” 叶小天道:“叼扰了。” Landlord Hong lets the living room Ye Xiaotian, serves tea, sees the son to stand at the back of the book bag in the one side gruffly, routinely knits the brows, the brow wrinkles, suddenly thinks that the son straightens out recently, unexpectedly started to study earnestly, the complexion was also then gentle. 洪员外把叶小天让进客厅,上了茶,一眼看见儿子背着个书包憨憨地站在一旁,习惯性地就是一皱眉,眉头皱起,忽然想到儿子近来开了窍,居然开始认真读书了,脸色便又柔和下来。 Landlord Hong slows down the language gas channel/angrily said: „Daheng, you go to the study room to study. Now although you knew assiduously, after all previously was stubbornly disobedient, delayed many annual time, deserved the rising spiritedly illness/quick to pursue, had becoming outstanding Oh heavens!.” 洪员外放缓语气道:“大亨啊,你去书房读书吧。如今你虽然知道刻苦了,毕竟先前顽劣,耽误了许多年的时光,该当奋起疾追,才有出人头地的一天啊。” Daheng said: „! The father accompanies the Historian Ai speech, child studied.” 大亨道:“哦！那爹陪艾典史说话吧,孩儿去读书了。” Daheng bows a ritual to the father, when turns around to face Ye Xiaotian, pushed winking to him, the finger gesticulated in the chests and bellies, upheld justice the action that broke through to express gratitude to he just, this walked toward the hall. 大亨向父亲躬身一礼,转身面向叶小天时,向他挤了挤眼,手指在胸腹间比划了一下,对他方才仗义解围的行动表示了感谢,这才向厅外走去。 Landlord Hong is in front of son always to look angrily and fiercely, but looks fully to the look of son back is actually gentle, his several rosaries, completely vanish until son's form in the entrance slowly, sighed says with a smile: „This child, knows finally studied.” 洪员外当着儿子的面总是横眉立目的,可是看向儿子背影的眼神却满是慈祥,他慢慢数着念珠,直到儿子的身影完全消失在门口,才叹笑道:“这孩子,总算知道读书了。” He has turned away, said to Ye Xiaotian: „An old man such son, a little expects too much, poured to call Sir Historian to be laughed.” 他转过脸来,对叶小天道:“老夫就这么一个儿子,有点恨铁不成钢啊,倒叫典史大人见笑了。” Ye Xiaotian raises slightly to say with a smile: „The world parents are the same thoughts. The landlord sincere beloved son's heart, this officer is also moved.” 叶小天欠身笑道:“天下父母都是一样的心思。员外拳拳爱子之心,本官也为之动容。” The Landlord Hong smile said: „My son, if can realize truly father's pains are good, and this matter does not raise. uses/gives my worthy brother died, Hong is also sad, does not know that the government authorities may have what clue to this case, will also look at will soon arrest the murderer, to console uses/gives my worthy brother soul in heaven.” 洪员外微笑道:“犬子若能真正体会父亲的一番苦心才好,此事且不提。施贤弟身亡,洪某也非常伤心,不知官府对此案可已有了什么线索,还望早日把凶手缉捕归案,以慰施贤弟在天之灵。” Ye Xiaotian frowns saying: „Frankly, now also has no clue. Revenged kill? Murder of passion? Because the wealth does murder? Said a word the conflict, so that gave birth to the accident/surprise? The cause of death was still not transparent. At the beginning of this officer proceeds to new official post, discovery this place disorder is frequent, the difference of public security, making one is unable to imagine. Therefore Shi Bixing this case, is not really good to investigate and deal with accordingly.” 叶小天蹙眉道:“实不相瞒,现在还没有任何线索。仇杀？情杀？因财害命？与人言语冲突以致生出意外？死因尚不明了。本官赴任之初,就发现此地乱像频仍,治安之差,令人无法想象。所以施必行这桩案子,实在不好查办。” Landlord Hong said: „A word does not gather to draw a sword, but is the Spring and Autumn Period ancient customs, at that time the festival had not actually seen the world to become what appearance randomly. Now under a world series, the place of Central Plain enlightenment is no doubt orderly, Guizhou province is remote, is only the ancient customs is thicker.” 洪员外道:“一言不合拔刀而起,不过是春秋古风罢了,那时节却也未见天下乱成什么样子。如今天下一统下,中原教化之地固然秩序井然,贵州偏远,也只是古风浓厚些罢了。” Landlord Hong raised the head to think, said slowly: „From Central Plain to the person of this place, mostly will think initially this place common social practice is agile and fierce, the young foreword is chaotic, is not settling down and getting on with life good to be. When Hong arrived at this place from Central Plain in the past, thinks. Actually was occupied by for a long time you to know, was not such......” 洪员外抬头想了想,缓缓说道:“从中原初到此地的人,大多会觉得此地民风剽悍,稚序混乱,不是安身立命的好所在。洪某当年从中原来到此地时,也是这么想。其实住久了你就会知道,并非如此……” Landlord Hong said: „ You are agile and fierce, he is also agile and fierce, some dreaded mutually, then cannot do too matter out of the ordinary to come, naturally lived in peace with each other, this called......, balanced. Actually a place has a folk culture of place, it has the reason that has it to have inevitably, is not necessary to make much ado about nothing. 洪员外道:“你剽悍,他也剽悍,互相都有忌惮,便也干不出太出格的事儿来,自然就相安无事了,这就叫……嗯,平衡。其实一个地方有一个地方的民俗风情,它存在必然有它存在的理由,大可不必大惊小怪。 Draws an analogy, Hong's friend circle is a merchant, seats of food 12 money are commonly seen, did not think that what unusual has, but if has not seen this scene person to see the so luxurious scene suddenly, naturally can make much ado about nothing, does Sir Historian understand my meaning? ” 打个比方来说,洪某的朋友圈子都是商人,一顿饭十两银子的席司空见惯,就不觉得有什么稀奇,可若是一个不曾见过这种场面的人骤见如此奢侈场面,自然会大惊小怪,典史大人明白我的意思吗？” Ye Xiaotian nods, said: „This officer was somewhat clear.” 叶小天点点头,道:“本官有些明白了。” Landlord Hong said: „Therefore, the so-called disorder, is no doubt inconceivable in the newly-arrived person eyes, actually is actually the local one habit. Exactly is this habit, can maintain the local peace. Therefore, executes the death of landlord, only enmity and advantage!” 洪员外道:“所以,所谓乱象,在初来乍到的人眼中固然不可思议,其实却是本地的一种常态。恰恰是这种常态,才能维持本地的太平。所以,施员外之死,不外乎仇与利！” Ye Xiaotian raises slightly saying: „This is this officer the reason that comes to visit, does not know that what person landlord can know shopkeeper Shi to offend?” 叶小天欠身道:“这正是本官前来拜访的原因,不知员外可知施掌柜得罪过什么人吗？” The Landlord Hong thinking long time, shakes the head to say gently: „Never listens to uses/gives my worthy brother to mention the matter that and person contracts enmity. Do the businessmen, friendly disposition leads to wealth, how possibly have such big enmity?” 洪员外思索半晌,轻轻摇头道:“从未听施贤弟说起过与人结怨的事来。生意人嘛,和气生财,怎么可能和人结下这么大的仇？” Ye Xiaotian looked that he as if somewhat speaks insincerely, access road/simply said: „If not because of personal grudge, because kept off others' source of income?” 叶小天看他似乎有些言不由衷,便道:“如果不是因为私人恩怨,或者因为是挡了别人的财路？” Landlord Hong inquires asks: „Is the meaning of Sir?” 洪员外探询地问道:“大人的意思是？” Ye Xiaotian said: „For example, he is the number-one big grain gentries in this county and nearby several counties, can have other grain merchants under he competed broke the source of income, therefore......” 叶小天道:“比如说,他是本县及附近几个县的头号大粮绅,会不会有其他的粮商在他竞争之下断了财路,所以……” Landlord Hong shakes the head saying: „Sir has not to know, the local area almost did not have in one grain merchant of scale, uses/gives my worthy brother to make a connection initially after that with the path of Central Plain grain habitat, he is nearby several county biggest grain merchants, but oneself the grain shop, nearby several counties' grain merchants all enter the grain from his here, is supine he to live, how possibly to have the enmity.” 洪员外摇头道:“大人有所不知,本地当初几乎没有一家上规模的粮商,施贤弟到此后才打通了与中原粮产地的通路,他是附近几县最大的粮商,但自己并不开粮店,附近几县的粮商全都从他这儿进粮,仰他生息,怎么可能结下仇怨。” Ye Xiaotian said: „? Landlord Hong is familiar with shopkeeper Shi entire life all sorts, was very long friendship?” 叶小天道:“哦？洪员外对施掌柜生平种种了如指掌啊,想必是很久的交情了吧？” Landlord Hong is stroking the beard, said disappointed: „Yes! More than 20 years ago, Henan great drought, many refugees to maintain a livelihood to flee to the four directions, Hong and uses/gives my worthy brother on the way of fleeing from calamity knew that we arrive at this place together, sets the record of the base industry respectively, it may be said that intersects the sworn friend.” 洪员外捋着胡须,怅然道:“是啊！二十多年前,河南大旱,许多难民为了活命逃往四方,洪某与施贤弟就是在逃难途中认识的,我们一起来到此地,各自创下基业,可谓相交莫逆。” Ye Xiaotian said: „Originally Landlord Hong and shopkeeper Shi have dozens years of friendship, oh! If shopkeeper Shi this case cannot check traces, perhaps wanted the sinking injustice difficult snow to become the unsettled law case.” 叶小天道:“原来洪员外与施掌柜有数十年的交情,唉！施掌柜这桩案子如果不能查到一点蛛丝马迹,恐怕就要沉冤难雪成为悬案了。” The Landlord Hong look is somewhat excited, his eyes lift, some as if words must say, but that impulsive checks, then the pressed, the complexion returned to forcefully gradually normal, shook the head to say gently: „Hong and uses/gives my worthy brother is many years of friend, the partner in business, sentiment with brothers, if there is a clue, where has the truth that did not say, is only......” 洪员外神色有些激动,他双眼一抬,似乎有话要说,可那冲动只是一刹,便又硬生生地压了下去,脸色渐渐恢复平静,轻轻摇头道:“洪某与施贤弟是多年的朋友,生意场上的伙伴,情同兄弟啊,如果有线索,哪有不说的道理,只是……” In the Ye Xiaotian heart has the suspicion gradually, he thought that this Landlord Hong should truly know what/anything, has the scruples appearance. Ye Xiaotian suo Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian that sits below head, thought: „Does not know that he is dreads Li Yuncong or Su Xuntian, or is also untrustworthy to my newly-arrived stranger, today feared that could not be held responsible what/anything.” 叶小天心中渐生疑窦,他觉得这洪员外应该确实知道点什么,却又有所顾忌的样子。叶小天睃了一眼坐在下首的李云聪和苏循天,心想:“不知他是忌惮李云聪还是苏循天,又或者对我这个初来乍到的陌生人也信不过,今天怕是问不到什么了。” Thinks of here, Ye Xiaotian then sets out saying: „Such being the case, that officer visits other several people shopkeeper Shi before death good friends again, has a look whether to find what clue, Landlord Hong, said goodbye.” 想到这里,叶小天便起身道:“既然如此,那本官再去走访走访其他几位施掌柜的生前好友,看看能否找到什么线索,洪员外,告辞了。” „! Okay good, Sir Historian walks slowly.” “啊！好好好,典史大人慢走。” Landlord Hong sets out to see off, seems like the somewhat guilty appearance, although he will conceal very much, covered rapidly guilty, was looked by Ye Xiaotian in the eye, Ye Xiaotian thought: „Landlord Hong definitely knows anything, but there is scruples, does not dare to reveal.” 洪员外起身相送,看起来有些愧疚的模样,虽然他很会掩饰,迅速掩去了愧疚,还是被叶小天看在眼中,叶小天心想:“洪员外一定知道些什么,只是有所顾忌,不敢吐露。” Prepares assuming a false name Code of History that finds the opportunity to travel as one at any time, the Ye Xiaotian investigation power is not really strong, in the heart saved a question, then left Hong Residence. Landlord Hong delivered to outside the mansion just to go back, Li Yuncong collected not the happy said/tunnel: „Sir, we are not must first go to Shi family, how to Hong Residence to come?” 作为一个随时准备找机会跑路的冒名典史,叶小天的破案动力实在不强,心中存了一个疑问,便离开了洪府。洪员外送到府外刚刚回去,李云聪就凑上来不高兴地道:“大人,咱们不是本来要先去施家的么,怎么到洪府来了？” Ye Xiaotian has not spoken, Su Xuntian has reproven: „Where Sir wants first to check, wants you to authorize? Without the custom!” 叶小天还没说话,苏循天已经训斥道:“大人想先查哪里,难道还要你来批准？没有规矩！” The face of Li Yuncong was also all of a sudden black, knew perfectly well that this Ye Xiaotian is false Code of History, cannot manifest suddenly. Su Xuntian taught Li Yuncong, said to Ye Xiaotian obsequiously: „Sir, receives communication Shi family to go? Here invited, copied shortcut, convenient.” 李云聪的脸一下子又黑了,明知这叶小天是个假典史,偏偏发作不得。苏循天训完了李云聪,点头哈腰地对叶小天道:“大人,接下来往施家去吗？这边请,抄近道儿,方便。” Su Xuntian since sees Xue Shuiwu, regarded own uncle elder brother Ye Xiaotian, to achieve the curve tries to please the young lady Shuiwu goal, to meticulous that Ye Xiaotian really welcomed, saw Ye Xiaotian to nod, immediately before led the way, directing narrow lane of Ye Xiaotian from Hong Residence to pass through. 苏循天自打看见薛水舞,就把叶小天当成了自己的大舅哥,为了达到曲线取悦水舞姑娘的目的,对叶小天真是奉迎的无微不至,一见叶小天点头,马上头前开路,引着叶小天从洪府旁的一条窄巷穿了过去。 They go out of 110 distances from the alley, listens to above the tall wall some people to shout: „Big brother, please hold your steps!” 他们从小巷里走出不过百十步距离,就听高墙之上有人喊:“大哥,请留步！” P: Asked the recommendation ticket honestly!
