Isn't he wants to be afraid of punishment to flee?” 花晴风扼腕疾走,喃喃自语:“真是受了他的指点？不是他想畏罪潜逃吧？” Su Ya hears bewilderedly, actually does not know that Hua Qingfeng previous „he” refers to Ye Xiaotian, latter „he” refers to is actually Su Xuntian. 苏雅听得莫名其妙,却不知花晴风前一个“他”指的是叶小天,后一个“他”指的却是苏循天。 Su Xuntian runs away to descend the mountain in a hurry, snatched first rushed to the county administration in front of that flare long line team, went from back door directly, finally also alarmed his elder sister. 苏循天匆匆逃下山来,抢在那支火把长龙队伍的前面先赶到了县衙,直接从后门儿进去,结果把他姐姐也惊动了。 At that time his brother-in-law Hua Qingfeng is keeping sighing in living room, does not have the sleepiness, Su Xuntian sees Hua Qingfeng to say immediately: „Brother-in-law, takes 320 money to me quickly, I then can let this matter disturbance.” 当时他姐夫花晴风正在客厅里长吁短叹,毫无睡意,苏循天见了花晴风马上道:“姐夫,快给我取三百两银子,我便能让此事风波不起。” Hua Qingfeng where is willing to believe that stamps the foot saying: „Do you want to slide? Muddled! Once slid, this matter then became the murder grave offense solid, when the time comes draws the shadow graph, issues a warrant for arrest the world, your hand cannot raise, shoulder unable to select, where can run away to goes?” 花晴风哪里肯信,顿足道:“你想溜？糊涂啊！一旦溜了,此事便坐实成了杀人重罪,到时候画影图形,通缉天下,你手不能提、肩不能挑的,能逃到哪儿去？” Su Xuntian gets angry: „I, although is incompetent, is actually not the no guts color and no acting person of! You could rest assured that this matter I conduct the shoulder, does not implicate you!” 苏循天怒道:“我虽无能,却也不是毫无胆色、毫无担当之人！你放心,这件事我扛着,绝不连累你！” Hua Qingfeng is embarrasedly typical: „This called what words, I...... I made you take on, was because you went, I can also look after you, if I poured, who you also had to depend on.” 花晴风讪讪地道:“这叫什么话,我……我让你担起来,是因为你进去了,我还能关照你,如果我倒了,你还有何人可以倚仗。” Su Xuntian coldly said/tunnel: „That many thanks brother-in-law. However, I just obtained the Historian Ye direction, even if Li again how noisy, this matter can turn big problems into small ones and small ones into no problems at all. Needs 320 money firmly.” 苏循天冷冷地道:“那就多谢姐夫了。不过,我刚刚得到叶典史指点,哪怕李家再怎么闹,此事都能大事化小,小事化了。只是确需三百两银子。” Although Hua Qingfeng disdains in Ye Xiaotian, has believed Ye Xiaotian to be crafty actually, one hear of this saying immediately a pair of eyes bright, hurried say/way: „What great idea does he have?” 花晴风虽然不屑于叶小天,倒是一直相信叶小天诡计多端,一听这话顿时双眼一亮,急忙道:“他有什么好主意？” Su Xuntian said: „At this time where had the time to relate in detail, the Li clansman has hit the lantern flare to directly soar the county administration to come, took 320 money quickly to me, a while Li clansman came, and you delayed them again in a minute, then thus and such and such......” 苏循天道:“这时哪有时间细说,那李氏族人已经打起灯笼火把直奔县衙来了,快取三百两银子给我,一会儿李氏族人来了,你且再拖延他们片刻,然后如此这般……” Su Xuntian lowers the sound, urgently urgently narrated to Hua Qingfeng, Hua Qingfeng was doubtful, actually must act accordingly, exactly in this time, awakened Su Ya caught up, Hua Qingfeng could not attend to with her related in detail, then fished out the key, called her fast to take 320 money to give Su Xuntian. 苏循天压低声音,对花晴风急急叙述一番,花晴风半信半疑,却也只得照办,恰在此时,被惊醒的苏雅赶来,花晴风也顾不得与她细说,便摸出钥匙,叫她速去取三百两银子给苏循天。 Su Ya is bewildered, but sees the husband and younger brothers is a deeply worried anxious appearance, knowing for sure is not suitable at this time asks, quickly takes money. This saves the silver place in a Hua Qingfeng book collection book room, usually Su Ya did not go to there, the key is being grasped by Hua Qingfeng, actually does not know that there hid enough one box of silver coins unexpectedly, has a scare Su Ya, but the younger brother urged urgent, actually does not dare to neglect, hurries to wrap to give Su Xuntian that money. 苏雅莫名其妙,可是见丈夫和弟弟都是一副焦灼不安的模样,情知此时不宜发问,急忙去取银子。这存银处就在花晴风藏书的一间书室,平素苏雅也不去那里,钥匙都由花晴风掌握着,却不知那里竟然藏了足足一箱银两,把苏雅吓了一跳,可弟弟催促甚急,却也不敢怠慢,赶紧把那银子包裹好交给苏循天。 320 money are really heavy, perhaps Su Xuntian lived delayed the time , after calling , the person in dwelling draft animal room pulling a mule, is conducting the back money by that mule, the foot did not moisten departure of place. 三百两银子着实不轻,苏循天生恐耽搁了时间,又叫后宅牲口房的人给牵来一头骡子,由那骡子驮着银子,脚不沾地的离开了。 Latter dwelling inside elegant madame having mind filled with suspicion, Hua Qingfeng is with trepidation, the first alley Li clansman was also stiff in the county yamen (government office) mouth. 后宅里面雅夫人满腹疑窦,花晴风提心吊胆,前衙李氏族人也僵在了县衙门口。 Although the Li clansman are also many, is actually only the common people, asking them to rush to yamen (government office) they not to dare hardly, although depended Su Xuntian not to have the ration certificate for imperial messengers when traveling on official business then to cause difficulties for others, moreover made an arrest in some work places the hooligan, clearly with betting the work place acted in collusion, good not ritual, their Li occupied some truth, but once rushed to the county administration, that was grasped the handle. 李氏族人虽也不少,却只是平头百姓,叫他们硬闯衙门他们是不敢的,虽然仗着苏循天没有牌票便拿人,而且抓人的还是些坊间泼皮,分明是与赌坊沆瀣一气,行的是不法事,他们李家占了些道理,可一旦强闯县衙,那就被人拿住了把柄。 They do not dare to rush in the county administration, actually dares to shout and wrangle outside, creates a clamor, during the calm night, shouts and wrangles, did not awaken the surrounding many common people for a while unexpectedly, attracts some people to hold the lamp to watch the fun. 他们不敢闯进县衙,却敢在外边大呼小叫,鼓噪不已,静夜之中,大呼小叫的,不一时竟唤醒了周围许多百姓,引来一些人掌着灯看热闹。 The Li clansman sees the common people to surround, the courage was stronger, shouted curses loudly, the loud complaint, regarded the teahouse tile-roofed house to be ordinary the county yamen (government office) mouth, the messenger drawing water fire rake that these were on night duty, is gripping the waist sword, defended before county yamen (government office) anxiously, actually does not dare to drink to stop, so as to avoid more exciting they. 李氏族人一见有百姓围观,胆气更壮了,高声叫骂、大声控诉,把个县衙门口当成了茶楼瓦舍一般,那些值宿的差役提着水火棍,攥着腰刀,紧张地守在县衙门前,却也不敢喝止,免得更刺激了他们。 both sides are refusing to budge, county head magistrate Hua „appearance is finally ready”, did to walk from the post- dwelling calmly. 双方正僵持间,花知县终于“打扮停当”,强作镇定地从后宅里走了出来。 : Asked the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket honestly! :诚求月票、推荐票！ Still rushed about on the 12 th outside, will return to Shen, therefore holiday the today and tomorrow, looks at various friends to be known by everybody this week ahead of time.
