The new house is located in the north house of Shangfangyuan. The new girl Wumei and the servants are helping Huaihua move boxes, cages, chairs, and cabinets to the west wing.Jiuhong stood at the door of the north house and asked Wumei, "Where are the two pots of roses that were placed here?" Wu Mei: "My aunt moved to the West Wing, and moved the two pots of flowers there." Jiuhong: "Is this a separation or something? The things in the house are also taken carelessly, go and move them back!" Wu Mei: "Auntie, just two pots of flowers!" Jiuhong scolded: "It's not your turn to talk, call Huaihua!"

Sophora japonica just walked out the door, with a sullen face: "I told Master Qi about moving these two pots of flowers, you go to the back room and ask." Jiuhong: "Master Seven said it was useless, I told you to move it back!" Sophora Hua no longer bears it: "I don't listen to the seventh master, but I want to listen to you?!" Jiuhong: "Can you move?" Huaihua: "I won't move!" Jiuhong was stunned, looking at Huaihua unexpectedly, and Huaihua stared at Jiuhong without showing any weakness. Jiuhong: "My aunt has a good temper! Someone backs me up?! Isn't she just a caretaker? You still move to live in his room!"

Huaihua couldn't bear it anymore, and was furious: "You spout blood! I'm a girl! But the girl in front of the old lady! It was the old lady who gave me to the seventh master, and I am better than you, a kiln sister who rides thousands of people!" "Shut up!" Jing Qi was standing outside the door of Donglijian at some point. Jiuhong walked over angrily: "Jing Qi! If you don't deal with her today, I'll show you to death!" Jing Qi walked up to Sophora japonica: "Sophora japonica! I have established a rule long ago, no one is allowed to mention the messy things in the past! Kneel down and give Jiuhong a gift!"

Sophora japonica did not move.Jiuhong looked angrily. "Kneel down!" Jing Qi said again, but Huaihua still didn't move... Just at this time, Xiangxiu ran over from the east corridor with a grasshopper cage in her hand, and Feng Liu, the cook, walked through the corridor with a large oil pan on his head, and Jing Qi's angry shout suddenly came from the room. : "Kneel down!" Xiangxiu was startled, and hurried into the north room; Cook Feng was so frightened that he couldn't turn his head, and knelt down hastily when he heard the shout. As soon as Xiangxiu entered the room, she hurriedly stood aside.Jing Qi was still pressing the motionless Sophora flower: "Are you kneeling or not?"

Jiuhong looked fiercely.Suddenly the grasshopper cage in Xiangxiu's hand screamed, Jing Qi turned her head and glared at Xiangxiu, Xiangxiu hurriedly covered the cage and stepped back. Jing Qi turned her head: "If you don't want to kneel, just stand here until you are willing to kneel." Jing Qi said that she wanted to leave. Jiuhong suddenly yelled like crazy: "If she doesn't kneel down, I will die!" She suddenly threw herself at the big blue flower porcelain flower pot, bumped her head against the edge of the pot, and fell down.The girls and mothers hurriedly hugged her, Jiuhong fainted, Honghua hurriedly picked her up, blood flowed down Jiuhong's face.

Jing Qi turned her head and glared at Sophora japonica: "What kind of lies are you committing!" She suddenly raised her leg and slapped Sophora japonica with the sole of her foot, causing Sophora japonica to fall down suddenly.At the same time, Honghua hugged Jiuhong and yelled: "Master Qi, my aunt is not good!" Jing Qi hurriedly walked to Jiuhong: "Hurry up! Take it to the back room." People hurriedly carried Jiuhong away, leaving only roses lying on the ground in the room, and she slowly got up. Xiangxiu stood far away and watched in horror.Suddenly, Huaihua stumbled and ran out the door. Xiangxiu saw that she might fall down at any time, so she hurriedly chased after her.

Huaihua ran to the West Wing, Xiangxiu chased him out and suddenly found Feng Liu kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help asking, "What are you kneeling here for?" Feng Liu cried and said, "Master Qi told me to kneel!" Xiangxiu: "What mistake did you make?" Feng Liu said aggrievedly: "I don't know either!" Xiangxiu didn't bother to ask any more, and hurriedly ran back to the north room. Everyone gathered around the bed, looking at Jiuhong, Jing Qi said: "It's okay, the bridge of the nose is broken, change her medicine every four hours."

Xiangxiu entered the house and called at the door: "Master Seven!" Jing Qi turned around and hurried to the door: "What's the matter?" Xiangxiu: "What happened to Feng Liu, the bad bone?" Jing Qi asked strangely, "Feng Liu, what's wrong?" Xiangxiu: "Why did you punish him to kneel on the porch?" Jing Qi: "I didn't!" Xiangxiu: "Go and have a look!" Jing Qi followed Xiangxiu to the porch in amazement. Jing Qi turned to the kneeling Feng Liu: "What are you kneeling here for?" Feng Liu: "You told me to kneel!"

Jing Qi: "I didn't!" Feng Liu: "You didn't yell and kneel just now!" Jing Qi: "I told Sophora to kneel down." Xiangxiu hurriedly pulled Feng Liu up: "Get up, where is this?" Feng Liu regretted and wronged: "I have nothing to do, why would I choose this big guy?" Feng Liu stood up with difficulty. Jing Qi: "Don't tell you to choose in vain. Xiangxiu, last time the two yuan was for raising the ankle bone, this time the two yuan is for raising the knee!" Feng Liu moved a step: "Thank you, Master Qi!" He walked away with the oil pan on his shoulder.At this moment, Jin Er and Shen Xiaoqing, who were standing at the gate of the courtyard, walked towards Jing Qi.

Jing Qi looked at Shen Xiaoqing in surprise, and asked Xiangxiu, "Is this Jin Er's wife?" Xiangxiu: "That's right!" Jing Qi: "Damn it, how did you find such a beautiful girl!" Jin Er and Xiao Qing walked up to Jing Qi.Jin Er: "Master Seven, we are here to thank you! Xiaoqing, kowtow to Master Seven." Saying that, they both knelt down. Jing Qi: "Get up!" Xiangxiu hurriedly pulled Xiaoqing up.Xiaoqing stood stiffly, keeping her head down all the time, not daring to look at anyone. Jing Qi sincerely apologized: "Xiaoqing! I have wronged you, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Xiaoqing's expression was blank, and she lowered her head without any response. Jing Qi: "Jin Er! This is flowers stuck in your shit, treat your wife well, if you bully her, I'll twist your neck!" Suddenly, the grasshopper in Xiangxiu's hand came back Calling it up, Jing Qi glanced at it: "Why do you think of buying grasshoppers?" "Sophia japonica! I want to hang it on Yuexiu's flowerpot." Xiangxiu finished her sentence, and Wumei ran out of the west wing in a state of panic, only to hear Wumei screaming: "Master Seven! My aunt, grandma, she-- is here." Hang up!" Jingqi and Xiangxiu were shocked and ran to the west wing in a hurry. In the West Wing.Sophora japonica hung on the beam, motionless. Xiangxiu looked at it in horror, and the grasshopper in her hand yelled again, and the sound seemed to be extraordinarily loud. Jing Qi looked at it with regret. Sophora japonica home. The gate of a very broken courtyard.Cart pullers, vegetable sellers, and load bearers come in and out.The yard was dilapidated, full of dirty water, and rags were hanging everywhere. In the broken West Room.Wang Xiguang was yelling loudly to Huaihua's mother: "Your daughter was killed by the Bai family!" Sophora's mother looked at Wang Xiguang blankly.Wang Xiguang's clothes were worn out and he looked downcast. Wang Xiguang anxiously said, "Why can't you understand a word after yelling for a long time?! Your daughter! -- Sophora japonica!" Sophora's mother: "Well, Sophora is fine!" Wang Xiguang: "Ouch! What the hell, he's dead!" "Who died?" Huaihua's mother was still in a daze. Wang Xiguang yelled: "Sophia japonica! The Bai family forced her to death!" Sophora's mother: "Well, the Bai family is a good family!" Wang Xiguang was discouraged: "Hey - this is a lot of work! My throat is smoking, is there any water?" Wang Xiguang stood up and searched for water by himself, but there was no water after turning around. He went to the water tank and opened the lid, and the tank was bottomed out. "I don't even have saliva, what a day!" Wang Xiguang went to Sophora's mother again. Wang Xiguang: "Frankly, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, you have to confess!" Sophora's mother raised her head: "What! You speak up, what are you muttering?" Wang Xiguang: "Hey--my voice is hoarse, my name is Zhagu?! Oh, you have to tell my family! Tell Jing Qi--" Sophora japonica mother: "What skin?" Wang Xiguang took out a written paper and ink pad box from his pocket: "It's become skin again!" Then he yelled: "I've finished writing the petition -- you just need to press your fingerprints! --" Sophora's mother looked at the certificate in Wang Xiguang's hand very curiously. Wang Xiguang shouted: "Press your fingerprints! --" Sophora japonica's mother: "Who's bored?" Wang Xiguang finally didn't want to make any more efforts. He dipped his mother's fingers in the ink pad box, pressed her fingerprints on the paper, then shook her hand, and quickly packed up: "I'm leaving!" Go outside. main entrance.Mr. Zheng pulled his rickshaw to the door, Xiangxiu got out of the car, and Wang Xiguang was hurrying out. The two met each other and were stunned for a moment. Xiangxiu asked strangely, "Isn't this Wang——the manager?" Wang Xiguang: "Don't tell me, don't dare to be the one! Wang Xiguang, Wang Xiguang, who is not seen below, was asked to be kicked out by Master Seven!" Xiangxiu doubted: "You are--" Wang Xiguang: "I'm here to fight the injustice!" Xiangxiu: "What does this have to do with you?" Wang Xiguang: "This matter has nothing to do with you!" Xiangxiu: "I'm here to do something for Lord Seven!" Wang Xiguang: "Okay, Xiangxiu! You are in favor now! Be careful! Sophora japonica is the fate of your girls!" Xiangxiu was really taken aback, and stared at Wang Xiguang: "This has nothing to do with Master Qi, it's Yang Jiuhong's fault!" Wang Xiguang: "Okay, Xiangxiu! You are still covering for the Seventh Master! In the Bai family, they are rampant and do a lot of evil! You go back and tell the Seventh Master..." Wang Xiguang raised the pleading paper in his hand, "The slave is about to offend , wait for the lawsuit!" Said Bi Yang and left.Xiangxiu watched him go away in astonishment, then hurriedly turned and walked towards the courtyard. As soon as she entered the West Room, Xiangxiu took Sophora's mother's hand and sat on Kang Yan'er. Sophora japonica's mother: "Sophora japonica, I'm back, there is no water." Xiangxiu suddenly found that her hands were dyed red: "Oh! What's wrong with you?" He quickly picked up Sophora japonica's mother's hand, and saw that the old man's fingers were stained red. With the red seal, I couldn't help being shocked: "Did you press your fingerprint on the certificate?" Sophora's mother: "I'm fine." Guang Xiangxiu: "How can you sue Master Qi?"This is not bad for Master Seven! " Sophora's mother: "The Qiu family is having trouble again?" Xiangxiu anxiously said, "What is this all about?" Sophora's mother: "It's okay, I'm not poor!" Xiangxiu yelled: "Old lady! Sophora japonica is dead and we are still here! Seventh master said that we must never leave you alone!" Sophora's mother stretched out her ears: "Huh?--" Xiangxiu: "I'll hire someone to serve you tomorrow!" Sophora Huaihua's mother: "Yes--I watched her anxiously, and the second boy was arrested by the police!" Xiangxiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Where are you going?" Xiangxiu picked up Sophora Sophora's mother's hand and looked at it, then stomped her feet, "I'm so anxious, I'm so confused, mother! This is bad!" The reception room of the Police Department. Jing Si and Jing Qi were sitting on the sofa, seven or eight newspapers were placed on the tea table.Jing Si pointed to the newspaper and said, "Public opinion is not good for you! The pressure on me is not small!" Jing Qi: "I hired the famous barrister Xiao Bingnan!" Jing Si: "I know it, it's useless! He can't provoke the press, at most he can reduce his sentence. The lawsuit can't be won. Human life is at stake, do you know?" Jing Qi: "What does the press know? Follow along!" Jing Si: "It must have benefited from Wang Xiguang." "It's really better to hurt a gentleman than to offend a villain!" "Otherwise, this lawsuit was originally provoked by Yang Jiuhong, ask her to come forward!" "Then how can it be done! What do you want a man to do if something goes wrong and you push it on a woman?!" "Then you wait to sit in prison!" "Sit and sit! It's not like I've never sat before!" "Old Qi, what do I say to you! You will cause troubles from time to time in your life, and you will feel uncomfortable. There is another way. Wang Xiguang talked to me. money……" Jing Qi listened angrily. Jingsi: "If you give him one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, the lawsuit will be settled!" Jing Qi: "No way! My Seventh Master never cares about money, nor is he a master who wants money and life! But a villain like Wang Xiguang, don't want to get a dime! I can hear it when I throw it into the water! ... I admit to being in prison! I should be in prison for Sophora japonica! I'm sorry for her!" Jing Si: "Okay! This is your temper, and fourth brother admires your strength!" prison. The signboard of the No. 4 Prison of Beiping City was hung on the gate. The soldiers standing guard at the gate stopped Xiangxiu, Xiao Hu and the servants who were moving things.Xiao Hu handed over a note, and the guard looked at the note: "Put the things here, only Li Xiangxiu can go in alone!" Xiao Hu: "Look, boss, there are so many things..." Xiangxiu: "Okay, you guys go back! The car is no longer needed!" Seeing this, Xiao Hu had no choice but to leave.Xiangxiu took out a pack of Dayang and handed it to the guard: "Give it to the brothers!" The sentry weighed the bag in his hand in surprise: "Good guy! First deputy, come quickly and move the things in, two brothers! Please! Please!" The courtyard of the prison is small across the courtyard.There was a guard standing at the door, and Xiangxiu entered the door nodding, followed by soldiers carrying things. Jing Qi is playing chess with Shou Tiao Er Bing, tea and snacks are placed on the small stone table.Jing Qi turned her head when she heard the sound, "Here we come!" "Move things into the house!" After Xiangxiu ordered the soldiers who moved things, she walked to the stone table, "Still in the mood to play chess? The whole family is crying!" Jing Qi: "Why are you crying? I didn't shoot him! Hey, did you bring my book?" Xiangxiu was surprised: "No! Are you still reading here?" Jing Qi: "It's so quiet here! It happens that there are still two prescriptions left, so I have to make two new pills during this time." Xiangxiu: "Okay, I'll bring it tomorrow. What would you like to eat?" Jing Qi scolded the skinny soldier who played chess: "Hey, hey, don't regret the game! You have no future, and you can't win the house or land. The householder turned his face and said to Xiangxiu: "Tell your mother to steam a pot of steamed buns, and there are big pickles. Carrots. " Slim soldier: "Is this still sent in? I eat this every day in prison! Pedal!" Jing Qi: "Your corn bread? It's a whole brick! Their steamed corn bread is called Xuan Teng. Will!" Xiangxiu: "Shall I call you a roast duck?" "Okay! Tomorrow, bring me two jars of that good Shaojiu..." Jing Qi hadn't finished speaking when suddenly there was a scream from the other courtyard.Xiangxiu was surprised. Jing Qi: "Okay, you can go back, this big prison is not a place for you to stay!" Xiangxiu: "I won't go back, I will live here today." Jing Qi: "Is that all right?" Xiangxiu: "Okay! Talk to the warden." Slim Bing: "Stay here! Stay here! It's okay, Director Bai has also ordered you." There was another scream from the other courtyard. Jing Qi: "Listen! Don't you panic in pain?" Xiangxiu: "With you here, I won't be afraid!" Jing Qi laughed: "Haha! Me? I'm a prisoner! Ha! --" At the gate of the inner courtyard, Jiuhong was negotiating with the guards.Honghua was holding a big food box aside. The guard: "No! The superiors have told me that no one can enter except Li Xiangxiu!" Jiuhong: "I'm Bai Jingqi's daughter-in-law, why can't I enter? Li Xiangxiu is just a girl!" Sentinel: "If you have anything to say, I'll send it for you." Jiuhong: "You can't pass it on, you go and call him out, let's stand at the door and say it's okay?" The sentry unlocked the door and closed it again.Jiuhong asked another soldier on guard: "Has anyone ever been there?" Soldier: "Yes! Your uncle, second master, and a third old master, grandma Cui, and aunt have all been here." Jiuhong: "Not allowed to enter?" The guard smiled. Jiuhong: "What are you laughing at?" Sentinel: "It's nothing, nothing / The door opened, and the guard came out, followed Xiangxiu, looked at Jiuhong coldly: "What's the matter with you? " Jiuhong suppressed the fire: "I'll tell Lord Qi!" Xiangxiu: "Master Seven doesn't want to see you!" Jiu was on fire: "Is it because he doesn't want to see you, or are you stopping me?!" Xiangxiu ignored Jiuhong, and said to the sentry: "Seventh master said, he is doing homework, and no one will be seen from now on, lock the door!" Xiangxiu slammed the door and went in, and the sentry quickly locked it. Door.Jiuhong rushed forward to push the door, but was stopped by the guards: "What are you doing? This is not your home, this is a big prison!" Locked the door with a click. Jiuhong turned around, tears welling up all at once.Honghua hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two of them away helplessly. The gate of the White House. Wang Xiguang sat on the lazy stool by himself, Bingkuan stepped forward and said, "You can sit here forever." Wang Xiguang: "I'm waiting for my aunt, what's hindering you?" Bing Kuan: "If you sit here, you will ruin the feng shui of my front door!" Wang Xiguang: "I didn't invite you, I didn't provoke you, don't look for me!" Bingkuan turned around angrily, and ignored him.After a while, the bell of the rickshaw rang off at the door, and the two turned their heads, only to see Gou Bao pulling the cart at the door, and Jiuhong and Honghua got out of the car and entered the door.Wang Xiguang hurriedly stood up to meet him: "Auntie, I heard the answer." Jiuhong walked straight in without looking at Wang Xiguang: "I don't know!" Wang Xiguang: "What did Master Seven say?" Jiuhong: "I don't know!" Wang Xiguang chased after him: "Have you seen Master Seven?" Jiuhong: "I don't know!" Wang Xiguang was in a hurry: "What's the matter?!" Jiuhong stopped, turned to look at Wang Xiguang: "Tell you, Li Xiangxiu is the head of the gate of this mansion, she doesn't want to call Master Qi out!" After speaking, she turned and walked towards the inner courtyard. Wang Xiguang was stunned.Bing Kuan murmured to himself in amazement: "Didn't she ask Lord Seven to come out?!" Wang Xiguang pondered hard: "Li Xiangxiu?" Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant. The signboard of Bianyifang hangs high above the gate, and people come and go on the street.Wang Xiguang stood across the street, looking anxiously at the entrance of Bianyifang.A rickshaw was parked at the door, and Mr. Zheng was dusting the rickshaw up and down. Xiangxiu got out of the car. The guy who came out put the food box under Xiangxiu's feet, Mr. Zheng picked up the handlebar, just took two steps, Wang Xiguang ran to the front of the car and shouted: "Walk slowly, wait! Xiangxiu, big girl! Say a few words to you." Seeing that it was Wang Xiguang, Xiangxiu's face sank: "Master Seven is in jail, you won the lawsuit, what else can you say?! Old Zheng, let's go!" Old Zheng pulled up the car vigorously Just leave, Wang Xiguang chased after him: "Don't say that, I admit defeat! Seventh master is a man of indomitable spirit, Xiangxiu, this matter should be over soon!" Xiangxiu: "Isn't it already over?!" Wang Xiguang: "Xiangxiu--I've cleared everything up and down. As long as Master Qi pays some money, Huaihua'er's family will withdraw the lawsuit, and everything will be settled!" Xiangxiu: "Have you cleared everything?" Wang Xiguang: "That's right!" Xiangxiu: "Who did you talk to? Go tell that kid in crotch pants! It's probably because you begged and made a wish. If you win the lawsuit, you can't give them money. You can't close the show, and you came here to extort money again, right?" Wang Xiguang was panting from running, sweating profusely, embarrassed by Xiangxiu's questioning, and didn't know what to say: "Look, what you said... hey--you can figure it out... it's all about you Fine!... What else do I have to say?...I have nothing to say! Mom, run away!" Xiangxiu: "You couldn't do it with Yang Jiuhong, so you came to me again, didn't you?!" Wang Xiguang was out of breath: "I said,... I said... I said Xiangxiu, it's no good to live a life so clear... Why do you have to say it so plainly... I'm for the seventh master... …it is good!" Xiangxiu: "If you are really good for the Seventh Master, let's do this..." Wang Xiguang raised a glimmer of hope: "You said..." Wang Xiguang suddenly grabbed the awning frame behind the car with all his strength, and shouted: "Old Zheng! You want to exhaust me to death!... Can I follow... Can you keep up?" ?" Old Zheng turned around and scolded: "Bah! You're so exhausted, you're a good old lady!" Xiangxiu: "You call those people from the newspaper office. How did you scold Master Qi in the newspaper? Then publish a report to make up Master Qi's reputation. It was Yang Jiuhong who forced Huaihua to death. Why are you scolding Master Qi? Sophora japonica Mom is still being taken care of by the seventh master! Do you understand?!" Wang Xiguang couldn't help nodding: "Understand! Understood!" Xiangxiu: "Let's talk about it after the matter is done! Old fart, go!" The car walked away quickly. Wang Xiguang was sweating profusely, panting heavily and squatting on the ground, allowing pedestrians and vehicles to pass by him, he gritted his teeth: "Okay!...Xiangxiu!...I have you! I'll make you proud first! Wait for me... wait for me to get the money! ...Let's talk again! " Within two days, the "Social News" columns of all the newspapers in Beiping were full of reports about Bai Jingqi, and the headlines were all "Bai Jingqi has suffered on behalf of others, Yang Jiuhong must be blamed!" "," Sophora japonica suicide truth! ", "The Cause of the Tragedy of the Mansion Gate: The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart! ", "Benevolence and righteousness, Bai Jingqi cares for the lonely and widowed elderly! "... prison. across the yard.Two guards were playing chess on the stone table. Xiangxiu brought a plate of lai and a jug of wine and put them on the chessboard. The screams of prisoners being tortured. In the cross-courtyard house, there are overwhelming books, placed everywhere, and even the floor is full of open books.Piao Qi squatted on the ground and turned the pages of the book, watching intently, not caring that the small table on the kang was full of food and wine. Xiangxiu walked into the room: "Look, let's eat!" Jing Qi looked at the book and said, "Today, you take back the two secret recipes I just wrote, and put them together with those secret recipes." Xiangxiu walked to the front of the kang and turned her head: "Got it! I am annoyed by you the most. They have been busy for a long time and put all the food on the table. You have to wait for it to cool before eating. It seems like you don't know it!" Jing Qi hurriedly stood up: "Okay, let's eat! Can't you know the truth?" Jing Qi walked to the kang, pushed the book inside and sat down.Xiangxiu poured the hot "Shaoxing Yellow" into the teacup. Jing Qi: "Drink some too!" Xiangxiu didn't make a sound, and filled her teacup with wine. Jing Qi: "How are you going to get rid of Wang Xiguang?" Xiangxiu: "Give him a denial!" Jing Qi picked up the vegetable cup and took a sip: "Okay! Just kidding me! In fact, I don't care what other people say at all. Everyone is happy to do something, but I am not happy. I would rather not do it! " Xiangxiu also took a sip: "Yes, why make them happy!" Jing Qi: "Everyone is unhappy, but I am the only one who is happy. I must do this!" Xiangxiu: "They deserve it for being unhappy, can you control them!" Jing Qi: "For others to say good things about me, to do things I don't want to do against my heart, I don't need to live!" Xiangxiu: "I want to be angry with Wang Xiguang!" Jing Qi: "Call me a bastard, you will eat the buns, and I will eat my swallow's wing mat!" Xiangxiu: "You don't eat less of our corn bread!" Jing Qi: "I eat steamed buns, that's my grandpa, I'm happy." across the yard.The soldier on guard opened the door, and Bai Jingsi walked in.The guard and thin soldier who were drinking and playing chess hurriedly stood up: "Director Bai!" Jing Si walked to the table: "Drink it!" The sentinel: "We are honored by Master Seven!" Jing Si: "What is he doing?" The guard: "It's time to eat!" Jing Si walked to the hut. Jing Qi, who was eating in the room, heard that Jing Si had come, and hurriedly shouted: "Fourth brother is here!" "Lao Qi, come and see you!" Jing Si answered and opened the door and entered the room.Jing Qi and Xiangxiu hurriedly stood up: "Fourth Brother is here!" "Fourth Master!" Jing Si stood at the door and looked at the books all over the room, she was very surprised: "What are you doing here, a book stall?" Jing Qi: "Read some books." Xiangxiu: "Fourth Master, come and sit down!" Jing Si walked to the kang and looked at the food and wine on the table: "Nie, you lived more comfortably in the prison than I did." Jing Qi smiled: "It's not the fourth brother who is taking care of me, come, have a drink!" Jing Hei: "Have a drink! We two brothers haven't had a drink together for a while. We came here to drink!" Xiangxiu hurriedly took another teacup and poured wine for Jingsi. Jingsi glanced at Xiangxiu: "You are also staying in the prison, I have wronged you, let's eat together!" Xiangxiu hurriedly stepped aside: "You eat, I will serve you!" Jing Si: "Lao Qi, the newspapers have suddenly changed direction these days, have you read the newspapers?" "Look, you ask her!" Jing Qi pointed at Xiangxiu. Jingsi turned to look at Xiangxiu in doubt, "What's going on?" Xiangxiu smiled: "It's nothing, they are wrong!" Jing Si questioned: "What kind of tricks did you do, did you give me the money?" Jing Qi: "I didn't even give it to a big boy." Jing Huo: "That's evil!"Wang Xiguang stopped making trouble, and the other side also withdrew the lawsuit. Lawyer Xiao was also puzzled! " Xiangxiu: "You will know later, isn't that great!" Jing Si shook her head: "Play riddles with me? Seventh, you can go out now. Go back and show your face less, and avoid the wind!" Jing Qi: "Yeah!" Jing Si: "You can go back today, do you want me to send you a car?" Jing Qi was surprised: "Go back today? No, no, no! I won't go back, I haven't finished this recipe yet!" Jing Si: "Go home and get it done!" Jing Qi: "No way! The house is so chaotic, but it's so quiet here! There's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about!" Jing Si: "Is there anyone like you? This is the Peking Prison, not the Liuguo Hotel!" Jing Qi: "Fourth brother! I beg you, ask me to stay for another two months, and I will go back as soon as Fang Zi is done." Jing Si: "It's okay, it's okay! It's outrageous, there are no such rules!" Jing Qi: "This Baosheng pill is my original creation, and this Jisheng powder is made by me in the palace..." Jingsi: "Let the prisoner out, but if the prisoner doesn't leave, it's an anecdote!" Xiangxiu: "Seventh Master is right. These days, Seventh Master works hard every day and only sleeps for four or five hours a day. How can he be so at ease when he returns home?!" Jing Qi: "Did you hear that?" Jing Si: "Lao Qi, Lao Qi! I have nothing to do with you, if you want to live, then live!" Jing Qi: "I thank fourth brother!" Jing Si smiled wryly: "But let people know, what's going on here! Am I still the head of the department?" Jing Qi: "Xiangxiu, just tell Wang Xiguang that Director Bai is law-abiding and handles the case according to the law, and he won't release anyone until the end of the day!" Xiangxiu: "Okay, I will say it!" The main house of the new house. Xiangxiu and Wang Xiguang sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.Xiangxiu gently shook the sandalwood fan, Wang Xiguang lowered his head and took a sip of water, then peeked at Xiangxiu.I saw Xiangxiu looking out of the window, fanning her fan nonchalantly.Wang Xiguang put down the teacup and deliberately coughed twice. Xiangxiu was still looking out the window: "This year is hot enough!" Wang Xiguang quickly answered, "It's hot enough!" Xiangxiu said lightly, "It's a little bit cooler in the evening!" "Calm down!" After Wang Xiguang answered, the two of them fell silent again.After a moment of silence, Wang Xiguang peeked at Xiangxiu again, frowning slightly. Xiangxiu suddenly turned her head: "Hey, what?..." Wang Xiguang's face showed joy: "Hey, tell me!" Xiangxiu: "Emperor Xuantong has ascended the throne in Manchuria, why don't you go to Manchuria to find him!" Wang Xiguang was discouraged all of a sudden: "I want to find him, he knows who I am!" Xiangxiu got up suddenly and walked out the door: "It's nothing, I'm going in." Wang Xiguang hurriedly stood up and stopped him: "Hey, wait! You've been talking to me for a long time, and you haven't said anything serious yet! " Xiangxiu pretended to be surprised: "What's the matter?" Wang Xiguang: "Don't pretend to be confused, okay?!" Xiangxiu: "I really don't know what's going on!" Wang Xiguang was a little anxious: "Hey -- have you read all the newspapers?" Xiangxiu: "Look!" "The petition has also been withdrawn." "yes!" "Then--haven't we all agreed?!" "Yeah, it's pretty good!" Looking at Xiangxiu's face, Wang Xiguang finally guessed it, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You...you want to renege on your debt!" Xiangxiu: "Director Bai's law enforcement is like a mountain, and the Seventh Master has not let it go!" Wang Xiguang was in a hurry: "That's because he didn't want to come out! I've figured it out, don't try to scare me!" Xiangxiu: "Yo, you know better than me?!" Wang Xiguang: "You promised!" Xiangxiu: "Tell me, what did I promise you?" Wang Xiguang was stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and thought hard, knowing that he had been fooled: "You promised...what did you promise?..." Xiangxiu persecuted: "What?!" Wang Xiguang said without confidence: "You say, we can talk about it after the matter is settled." "Yes! That's what I said!" "Tell me!" "I'm not going to say anything, it's a good job!" "It's over?" "It's over!" "Xiangxiu! You're playing tricks on me! You're playing tricks on me, is it over?" "It's over!" Wang Xiguang held his breath, and nodded helplessly: "Okay! --Okay! You are really a master!" He gave a thumbs up, "I am so old, I fell into the hands of a girl!" Xiangxiu: "You still fall, this time you are famous in Beiping!" Wang Xiguang admired him very much: "I can't say that your wrists are too dark, but I can only say that my skills are too shallow!" Xiangxiu: "If you know your mistakes and correct them, I don't owe you anything!" Wang Xiguang felt aggrieved: "To play cats and dogs, you have to feed some chicken bones and fish bones! You probably want to live here." Xiangxiu: "It's getting late, and you're quite busy, so I won't keep you for dinner." Wang Xiguang: "Xiangxiu, don't do things too badly! It's the same sentence, when everyone gets narrow, the mountains don't turn around!" Xiangxiu turned her head: "So what?!" Wang Xiguang: "Although I fell into your hands, I will accept it! One hundred times! You are worthy of being under the seventh master! Seventh master is not as cruel as you!" Xiangxiu: "You are wrong, I will definitely do what I promised! I really didn't promise you anything!" "Leave yours! Leave mine! There will be a later date!" San Xiguang cupped his hands after finishing speaking, walked over Xiangxiu and walked out of the room. Prison gate. Four or five new and old carriages and rickshaws were parked at the door, and Xiao Hu, Niu Huang, Gou Bao, Zheng Lao Pi and the servants were busy loading things on the cars. Jing Qi and Xiangxiu walked out of the gate to greet everyone, boarded the rickshaw, and turned to Xiao Hu: "Let's go first!" The two cars disappeared into the traffic of the street. A few years after Jing Qi was released from prison, the little Japanese rushed into Guanli from the three eastern provinces and launched the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.Pingjin is not guaranteed, and North China is in danger!Listening to the sound of cannons coming from outside the city, the whole Bai House was in a state of panic day and night, and Jing Qi was even more worried about the fate of the old Bai Cao Hall. The new house is located in the North House Hall of Shangfangyuan. One day Jing Qi came home from Baicao Hall and met Jiu Hong and Tian Mu sitting and talking, the two turned their heads to see Jing Qi and Xiangxiu came in.As soon as Jing Qi entered the room, Tian Mu hurriedly stood up: "Master Qi, I'm here..." Jing Qi angrily said, "What are you doing here? I feel disgusted when I see you Japanese now!" Jing Qi didn't wait for Tian Mu to finish speaking, and immediately said, "You don't come here from now on!" Jing Qi stopped talking to Tian Mu, and strode towards the east room. Tian Mu was stunned by the scolding, but suddenly understood the reason.Looking at Jing Qi who was striding towards the east room, Tian Mu said loudly: "Master Qi! Whether you like it or not, the Japanese soldiers will definitely break into Beiping's Guang Jingqi station and turn around: "You little Japanese!A place with a big butt still wants to hit China! Beiping City is not so easy to enter! " Tian Mu: "You Chinese army can't do it! You can't stop it!" Jing Qi came back again: "What do you want to say?!" Tian Shui: "In order to preserve the Baicao Hall, join my share capital as soon as possible, and there will be no danger for the Japanese soldiers to enter the city!" Jing Qi was furious: "Put your mother on the hook! You want to take advantage of others..." Jiuhong and Jingye rushed forward to dissuade them, Jing Qi yelled, "I smashed and burned Baicao Hall, and I won't give it to you Japanese. You underestimated me, Bai Jingqi! Chinese people are not so easy to bully !" Tian Mu still wanted to persuade him to say something, but Jiuhong desperately pushed him into Xilijian. Jing Qi was still glaring, Xiangxiu hurriedly handed over the pipe, Jing Qi took the pipe and sat down angrily, Xiangxiu lit the fire, but he didn't smoke, but knocked the pipe on the copper spittoon loudly, suddenly Standing up again, he shouted at Xi Lijian: "Yang Jiuhong! Don't get close to him!" Jingye came over hurriedly: "Dad, why bother, you must not offend the Japanese at this time!" Jing Qi suddenly raised his hand and hit Jingye hard on the head of the cigarette pipe, the stem of the pipe was dismantled, and the copper head flew down on the table. Jingye covered his head and stepped back.Jing Qi scolded angrily, "You want to be a traitor before the Japanese soldiers enter the city!" Jingye didn't dare to say anything anymore, and quickly ran out covering his head.Jing Qi's remaining anger had not subsided, and he threw half of the pipe cup viciously towards Jingye's back: "You bastard!" What made Jing Qi breathless the most was that after half a month, Tian Shui's opinion turned out to be a fact, and Japanese soldiers marched into the city every day. Japanese soldiers walked by in groups on the street, and bold pedestrians leaned against the wall and watched silently. Bing Kuan, Huang Li, and Old Zheng looked out silently from the half-open door. Murderous Japanese soldiers were sitting on military trucks, flying through the alley... On July 30, 1937, the Japanese army took full control of Peiping.Peking has fallen! new house.night. Bing Kuan went up the ladder to pull the gate, and two servants stood behind him with lanterns, Jing An raised his face and ordered: "Pull it!" Just as Bing Kuan pulled the brakes, there was a loud knock on the door.Bingkuan turned his head in surprise and hurried down the ladder. Jing Qi and others looked at the gate nervously, and Bingkuan walked to the gate: "Who is it?" A familiar voice came from outside the gate: "I! Zhan Yuan! Open the door quickly! Quick!" Bingkuan hurriedly opened the door, and Zhanyuan and four or five classmates rushed in, all disheveled and disheveled. Jing Qi was surprised: "What happened?" Zhan Yuan panicked: "Ah, no! I met a Japanese soldier!" Jing Qi observed several people: "What did you do? What happened?" "Nothing! Oops—it's okay! Let's go! You Yuan greeted a few classmates and ran to the inside. Jing Qi looked at it suspiciously, and when Jin Er came to go out, Huang Li hurriedly stopped him: "Are you still going? Just stay here for the night!" "The streets are full of Japanese soldiers. Martial law has been enforced. Go out and die!" Jing Qi said, pushing Jin Er in, "Close the door!" Bing Kuan closed the door and glanced at Jin Er: "With your virtue, the Japanese soldiers can break you apart with a single shot!" kitchen yard.Jing Qi came from the corridor and entered the kitchen yard.Two servants were lighting lanterns. Jing Qi yelled in a low voice: "Let's talk about it, light up the lights in each room, be careful with the candles--" Jing Qi suddenly found that the light was on in the kitchen, and hurried in, the servant was waiting outside the door. In the kitchen, Zhan Yuan was collecting food in a hurry and filled a large oil pan, when he raised his face and saw Jing Qi was staring at him, he said guiltyly, "We haven't eaten yet!" Jing Qi came over and looked up and down, Zhan Yuan was a little flustered.Jing Qi said, "What have you all been doing?" Zhanyuan pretended to be indifferent: "No - yes!" Jing Qi: "Look at your clothes!" Zhan Yuan lowered his head, only to realize that the buttons of his clothes were missing and his pockets were torn. He raised his head and looked at Jing Qi, smiling dryly at a loss. Jing Qi: "Tell me honestly!" Zhanyuan was very panicked: "Two Japanese soldiers want to take us away, we - beat him!" Jing Qi was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled "ho ho": "Beat the Japanese soldiers? You guys are so courageous!" Seeing that Jing Qi didn't blame him, Zhan Yuan smiled reassuringly: "It's the same as when you beat Tian Mu back then, we fight one of three!" Jing Qi: "Find a place where no one is around. Didn't anyone see it?" Zhanyuan: "It was blocked in a dead end!" Jing Qi happily said, "I have Lan Xin Zhai's delicious snacks, follow me to get some!" Zhan Yuan: "This is enough to eat." Jing Qi: "Lanxinzhai's eight big and small pieces, has your classmate eaten it? Get some!" Zhan Yuan happily followed Jing Qi to the door. doorway.Jin Er walked into the doorway with a lantern, and there was a fierce knock on the door outside.A light came on in the porter's room. Jin Er asked loudly: "Who is it?" No one answered outside, and the knocking on the door was even louder.金二下闩开门，一时铃档声大作。 门拉开了，一高一矮两个持枪的日本兵站在门外，听到铃裆响忙抬头，看着晃动的铃裆。 "找谁？！"金二傻大胆儿，喝问道。门道里挺黑，俩日本兵忙低头看金二，一时大惊失色。 金二被灯笼光从下面照上来，样子十分恐怖。铃裆仍然在头顶上响着。 高日本兵失声道："这是什么东西？" 矮日本兵："不像是人！ 高日本兵向后退着："中国的鬼！" 金二吸着气，怪怪地摇着脑袋看着："说的什么话你！" 矮日本兵："是鬼！" 高日本兵大叫："鬼--"转身就跑，矮个日本兵也跟着仓皇逃去。 金二莫名其妙地望着："半夜三更捣什么乱！" 黄立、秉宽从门房慌忙走出："谁呀谁呀？！""怎么啦？"…… 金二："是俩日本兵，我一开门儿，他们也不知道看见什么了，撒丫子跑了！" 秉宽忙关门上闩，铃档响声中，他不禁笑了："还看见什么了，看见你了！" 金二："我怎么了？" 秉宽笑道："你应该站到芦沟桥去，日本兵准进不了北平城！" The new house is in the courtyard.early morning. 景琦蹲在台阶上乐不可支，黄立、秉宽站在一边儿也笑着。 景琦："干吗站到芦沟桥啊！应该叫他站到山海关去！" 黄立："那日本鬼子准进不了山海关！"三人又一阵大笑。 景琦："金二有那么寒碜吗？我瞧着也还行啊！" 秉宽："那是您瞧惯了。您忘了入洞房那天，把金二媳妇儿吓得钻了马圈！" 景琦又笑了："没想到，金二还能派上大用场！以后就叫金二看大门儿，这就是咱们的门神。叫账房赏他个红包儿，立功了！" 黄立："待会儿去公事房，我陪您去吧！" 景琦站了起来："不就王喜光找我吗！我怕他干什么？" 黄立："他投靠了日本人，现在是药行商会的副会长了，大摇大摆的出入宪兵队！"三个人说着往外走。 景琦："瞧日本人这点儿出息！找个老公当汉奸！日本人连金二都怕，我还怕这个汉奸！我会会他，看他有多大的道行！" Baicao Office Office.morning. 景琦推门走了进来。正和敬业聊天儿的王喜光忙站了起来："七老爷！" 景琦一拱手："王老爷！" 王喜光："您别骂我行不行？奴才王喜光！" 敬业望着景琦："他现在是新药行商会的副会长。" 景琦："哟，怠慢怠慢！王副会长！" 王喜光："七老爷！我再巴结也巴结不到您这份儿上，日本人叫我来请您出山，荣任新药行商会的会长。今后我就给您打打下手！" 景琦也不让坐，自己先坐下了："嗬，好大面子，日本人这么瞧得起我？！" 王喜光忙上前："您是谁呀！您一跺脚，整个儿北平的药行都得乱颤！" 景琦："别这么抬举我，我没这福气，王副会长还是另请高明！" 王喜光："我算个屁呀！这是日本人的意思。" 景琦："那就更不能当了！药行的事儿是咱们中国人自己的事儿，日本人管这闲事儿干什么？" 王喜光一愣："现在北平不是日本人的天下吗！" 景琦忽然站起走到王喜光身边，显得十分知心的样子："哎，王副会长，你还记得我妈活着的时候，养了一只小叭狗？" 王喜光："记得，大顶子嘛！为了找个饱狗的丫头，没少折腾我！" 景琦："我妈去世以后，大顶子愣四天没吃东西饿死了，你说这狗多有骨气！" "那是，一犬不事二主，那狗不是……"王喜光发觉上了当："七老爷，您就说我还不如狗不就结了吗？！" 敬业见不妙，忙上前打岔："算了算了！我爸不愿当就算了，再找找别人。" 王喜光的脸色不好看了："我无所谓，恐怕日本人那儿七老爷没法儿交代吧！" 景琦："恐怕你在日本人那儿没法儿交代吧？！" 王喜光故意躬身施礼："您有骨气！您厉害！我不过是传个话儿，告辞了！七老爷多保重！"王喜光黑着脸走了出去。 敬业："这老小子手可黑着呢！" 景琦："不就一条命吗！这个骟了的癫皮狗！" 百草厅门市前堂。 两个汉奸在堂里晃来晃去，故意把腰间的手枪露在外面。堂里一个买药的都没有，七八个伙计笔直地站在柜台里。 一个买药的刚要推门进来，两个汉奸立刻回头怒观，买药的赶紧退出走了。 两个汉奸走到窗前，坐到椅子上，一个正与坐堂先生对脸儿。 坐堂先生胆怯地望着。 景琦和赵大水站在通向前堂的门帝后。 大水："打后半天儿起，没一个人敢进来抓药，那俩小子就坐那儿不走，您瞧！" 大水掀开了一点儿门帘，景琦透过缝隙只见两个汉奸大模大样地坐着。门口进来一个抓药的，刚走到柜台前，俩汉奸突然起身，走到买药人的身旁一边儿站了一个。买药的人惊恐地两边看着。俩汉奸面无表情地打量买药的卖药的。卖药的小涂客气地问道："先生抓药吗？"买药的吓得没说话直往后退，俩汉奸跟着往前走，买药的转身跑了出去。俩汉奸又坐回椅子上…… 大水放下门帘，无奈地望着景琦。景琦冷笑道："这是王喜光给我脸子看呐！赵头儿，关门上板儿，今儿咱们歇了。" 前堂。伙计们往出搬板子，外面已经有人在上板，屋里的光线一点儿一点儿的暗下去。赵大水走到俩汉奸跟前："二位先生对不起，今儿我们盘点，上板儿歇了，二位请吧！" 俩汉奸东张西望了一下，向门外走去。景琦一掀帘子走了进来："往后只要有人捣乱，咱们就上板儿歇业！" 公事房里，景怡看了看景椅："上板儿歇业这不是个办法，他反正没事儿，他要天天来呢！" 景琦干脆地："我就天天歇！" 敬业、敬功、敬生、敬堂、大水、二头儿都在，一下都不说话了。一阵沉寂后，景双道："这不是长久之计。人家看病抓药的怎么办？" 景琦："北平又不是就咱们一家儿药铺。" 敬生："我看还是大事化小，小事化了的好，不就当个会长吗？不给日本人干坏事儿就行了……各家儿万一出点儿什么事儿，暗中还可以帮忙做点儿好事！总比叫王喜光在那儿瞎糊弄强吧！" 景琦："话不能这么说。我当了会长就给日本人长了脸，不管你做不做坏事！国难当头，谁家出了事儿都得自己顶着，为了怕出事，就非得推个汉奸出来，那你们谁愿当谁当！" 敬业："其实想当会长的何止七八个，玉全堂的林掌柜，上下托人想当会长，日本人还看不上呢！" 景琦："所以了！日本人要的是我这个名分，我就更不能当。大哥，就这么定了！不管哪家儿，只要有人捣乱就上板儿歇业！" 景怡："定了吧！还是--尽量少惹事广百草厅前堂门口。伙计们在下板儿，已经有十几个人等在门口，准备买药。板儿一下完，门开了，买药的都涌入前堂。 前堂里。小涂认真地看着方子，手拿我子迈着方步开始抓药。 买药的人都围在柜台前。景琦一撩帘子悄悄走出，在柜台里一个角落的椅子上坐下了。 四个汉奸突然冲了进来，为首的是个胖子，大嚷大叫："叫你们掌柜的来！快点儿！快点儿！" 景琦忙站了起来，见赵大水已跑了过去，景价又坐到椅子上。 大水走到胖子前："有话跟我说，我是大查柜！" 胖子："奉皇军的命令，要查你们的账！" 大水："几位请到公事房！" 胖子蛮横地："用不着！"转身坐到了窗前的椅子上，大水忙跟了过去，"就在这儿查！知道不知道市面儿上都在限价！" 大水："我们的药价始终没变过，公平合理！" 景琦扫视着室内。只见买药的见势不妙，纷纷向外走。三个汉奸在堂里遛来遛去。 胖子："少废话！把账本都拿来，还有你们成药的方子，全都交出来！卫生部门要检查！" 景椅暗自一惊。柜台里小涂仍目不斜视，迈着方步走向药柜拉抽屉抓药。赵大水不卑不亢地："秘方都在东家手上，我们这儿只有一般成药的方子！" 小涂取完药迈着方步走回，惊讶地发现买药的人已不在了。 二头儿拿了一包大洋悄悄放到桌上，胖子顺手揣到了怀里，口气缓和了些："我们也是奉命而来，你去跟你们东家商量，我们在这儿坐等了啊！" 大水小心翼翼地："能不能到公事房去谈，这儿不是说话的地方。" 胖子："我们这已经是给你面子了啊，你也是场面上的人儿，别不识好歹！" 大水没辙了，回头看了一下店内，除了站在柜台后的伙计，堂内已空无一人。 景琦向小涂使了个眼色，小涂会意地和伙计们走了出去。胖子注意地看着堂内的动静。 大水："那好，我去打个电话和东家商量一下。" 胖子："快点儿快点儿！" 伙计们搬着板子往出走。胖子一见忙站起来上前拦挡："等等！ What are you doing?又要关门儿歇业是不是？ " 大水："今儿我们盘点！" 胖子："告诉你！我们不走，你们就不许关门儿！" 景琦猛地从椅子上站起，双眼放射出愤怒的目光。
