Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Obscene Pants
The city of Bianjing consumes one hundred thousand catties of pork every day.The live pig business gathers in the pig market in the southern suburbs of the city, where the head of the pig shop sends people to collect the pigs. When it gets dark and there are few pedestrians, a dozen people escort the pigs into the city in batches.Mighty and humming, enter the city from Nanxun Gate in the south, walk along the imperial street to the outside of the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, and go west along a road leading to Killing Pig Alley outside Xinmen.These pig bearers are all experienced for many years, and the tens of thousands of pigs did not run around randomly.
Arriving at Pig Killing Lane, each pig slaughtering workshop distributes the pigs they ordered. The butchers have already lit the torches, sharpened their knives, bound and cut them up, scalded them and distributed them. .Therefore, apart from brothels and restaurants, the households in this area are all butchers and butchers.
At dawn, the one hundred thousand catties of pork were carried by trucks on shoulders and distributed to the morning markets in Fangqiao in the city.The butchers' meat table has already been arranged, and three or five people will operate the knife, wide cut, sliced, finely chopped, and they are called at will.The pork offal is scattered into thousands of households, restaurants and restaurants.
But Qingming this afternoon is different.
Wei Daxin rode a gray donkey, followed by some fellows, and led another donkey to carry money, and went out of the city to the pig market in the southern suburbs as usual.Wei Daxin is in his forties this year, with a thin face and a thin beard on his chin.He has been working as a broker under the head of the pig company, and he has been in charge of collecting live pigs from the pig market for more than 20 years. Everyone calls him "Wei pig shepherd".
The pig market is a large empty field, divided into hundreds of pens with low fences of wooden piles more than two feet high, and each pen is contracted by a pig merchant, ranging from large to small.Usually when I come here, all the pens are crowded with pigs, and the grunting can be heard from a mile away. When you get close, the first-timers will be overwhelmed by the smell of pig excrement.However, today is almost here, and there are not many pigs snoring. When I approached, I saw only a dozen retail merchants, and there were only a few hundred pigs.
Wei Swineherd was very puzzled, so he hurriedly asked people, and everyone was also puzzled, and they all said they hadn't seen those pig dealers bringing pigs.After searching around, he was so tired that he burst into a rage and his head was covered with sweat, so he asked a few guys to ask questions separately, and walked to a shop by the side of the yard, this is where he usually pays with those pig dealers .He took the key and opened the door, unloaded the money from the donkey, put it in the cabinet, sat down to rest and wait.
After waiting for nearly an hour, those guys came back one after another, and they all said they hadn't found them.Wei swineherd had no choice but to ask them to call the dozen or so retail merchants, count the pigs one by one, weigh them, and pay the bills.
When it was getting dark, he still couldn't wait for other pig merchants to come, so he had to ask his buddies to rush the bought hundreds of pigs into the city first, but he was not reconciled, so he sat in the shop and waited for a long time.After dark, still no one brought the pigs, so he had to lock the door and ride a donkey to chase those guys.
When Feng Sai rushed to the outside of Dongshuimen, the night had already fallen, and he could barely see the road clearly. He rushed all the way to Tan Li's manor, the gate was still closed, he jumped off his horse and ran towards the gate, there was no movement inside.Feng Sai couldn't help his heart beating, regretting that he should bring some helpers.But when he thought of his wife and children, he felt anxious, and couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his hand and slammed on the door. After a long time of patting, Yang Laoyu's voice came from the courtyard: "Who is it?" "Lao Yang, it's me!" After a while, there was a faint light in the crack of the door. The door opened, and Yang Laoyu was holding a rough pottery oil lamp in his hand. "Lao Yang, are my wife and children hiding inside?" "What? No." Yang Laoyu opened his dark mouth with a look of astonishment. Feng Sai didn't care anymore, pushed the door open, and strode in.It was pitch black in the courtyard, only the east room of the row of houses on the north side was lit with a little light.Feng Sai hurried to that room first, and Yang Laoyu's wife was standing at the door, watching.Feng Sai ignored her and went straight into the room. An oil lamp was lit on the square table, and in the dim light, there was only a wooden bed, a chest of drawers, two wooden boxes, and some jars in the room.He first grabbed the oil lamp on the table, went to the bed, bent down to look after it, there were only a few old shoes under the bed.He looked around the house again, the only thing that could hide people were those two boxes.He went over and lifted the lid of the old wooden box, which contained some old clothes, and then opened another box, which contained some bags, containing corn, dried vegetables, and beans respectively. As soon as he turned around, Yang Laoyu and his wife stood at the door, staring at him together. "Where are they hiding?!" Feng Sai asked loudly, his heart was already on fire. "Feng Daguan, what are you talking about? We are the only ones in this manor, there are no outsiders." Feng Sai looked at Yang Laoyu holding the oil lamp, his old face was half-respectful, half-smiling, a little light in his dark eye sockets kept flickering with the light, and his old wife's expression was faintly frightened.He knew that the two must be hiding something, so he ignored them, protected the lamp flame with his hand, turned and went out, came to the cubicle, pushed open the door, an empty room, only some miscellaneous litter on the ground, he went again Look at the second room, the third room... all the way to the eighth room, all empty rooms.
Yang Laoyu and his wife stood by the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Feng Sai's hooves to be too far away before closing the door. "Really not to tell him?" His wife lowered her voice, even though there were only two of them within a mile. "Tell what? His wife and children were locked up here first, and then taken away? Why didn't he tell me the last time he came here?" "He rummaged through it just now, so he must have known it already." "If you know it, then we don't need to talk too much." "What if he goes to sue the judge?" "Those two people will definitely not come back again. Even if he sues the officials, he has no evidence." "Oh...he also helped us find a job as a nurse." "What's this? Do you think you're still a handsome girl? Did he take a fancy to your hemp tree face? He's just helping that rich man surnamed Tan. Besides, that man surnamed Tan is not a good guy, and he may not rent this villa for a long time." The courtyard, even if it is a long-term lease, the president may not use the two of us. At the end, why don't we just kick it away?" "The two ingots of silver given by those two people are real silver? Don't fool us." "It's true, can this be hidden from my eyes?" "I don't know where they took the mother and daughter. It's really pitiful." "Look at you lonely old man, how do you feel sorry for others? The one surnamed Feng can remarry without a wife, and can have another life without a daughter. But the two of us have no sons or daughters, and we won't even have a place to die in the future." One inch—no way—" Yang Laoyu suddenly stopped, "It will be troublesome for us to stay here after all. With those two ingots of silver, it is enough to save money in a small state or county. It is said in the market that Mother money, these two ingots of silver are the last money nanny in our life, pack up quickly and leave tonight!"
After Feng Sai left, Zhu Deshi felt chills in his heart. Although Feng Sai warned him out of good intentions, but his words were so vague, he naturally saw through his own intentions, but it was not easy to speak out.This made Zhu Deshi very uncomfortable.In these years, he has been at the top of the line, and he is always friendly to the outside world, and no one has ever been able to see through his thoughts.Now being seen through by Feng Sai at a glance, it was as if his obscene pants were ripped off, which made him extremely uncomfortable.It shouldn't be wrong to be impatient for a while. After listening to Tan Li's words, I missed sending charcoal to the palace for a day.Otherwise, I have nothing to do with this matter at all, and just wait for Wu Meng to collapse. However, this matter can only be put aside for a while, and then find a way to deal with Feng Sai slowly.Right now, Wu Meng's matter must be dealt with quickly.This wild dog actually stretched its dirty mouth towards itself this time. Wu Meng sent Liu Erlang over in the afternoon, saying that he was afraid that if he lost his temper, he would attack Liu Erlang again.Looking back now, his tone of voice was indeed a little softer than usual. Naturally, there was malice hidden in his heart, so he had to shrink back when speaking. After Wu Meng left, Liu Erlang repeatedly begged to let him go, saying that he could not stay here, and that Wu Meng had some schemes to harm others.His mouth was swollen from the beating, and his speech was slurred. Zhu Deshi couldn't bear to listen, so he ordered his servants to lock him into the back room. Feng Sai delivered food just now, and begged himself to keep the door key himself, which seems to mean that Wu Meng will kill Liu Erlang here to frame me.But how could Wu Meng kill Liu Erlang?Bought my subordinates?Who would that be? He thought about it carefully, his wife, concubine and children naturally wouldn't, they should be servants.If it is to use poison, the men and women in the kitchen are the cheapest, but killing people is a big deal, and this plan should have been thought of in the past few days, even if Wu Meng spends a lot of money, it is difficult to accomplish it in a hurry.That is the other servants. Zhu Deshi remembered another thing. Last year, he put out some loans and made more than 2 million yuan by the end of the year.This was done in private, he did not want to be known, and did not disclose it to outsiders.Last month, several big merchants in the Charcoal Bank were drinking, and Wu Meng actually asked about it when he was drunk.At the time, Zhu Deshi thought it was someone in the middle who said it, but now it seems that his family should have revealed it to Wu Meng. Usually, when he went out by himself, he usually brought two servants, Ah Xi and A Tong, and only these two servants saw Wu Meng the most.After dinner, there are many opportunities to speak in private.The interest of the loan was also taken back by the two of them.Wu Meng should have bribed one of them. Zhu Deshi thought for a while, and called A Tong and A Xi in: "My third younger brother in Luoyang sent some earthen rituals for the festival, but I haven't returned the gifts yet. I have prepared some gifts here. You two, let's see who will come to see you." , send it to me." Neither of them wanted to run errands, they looked at each other and pushed each other, neither of them wanted to speak first. Zhu Deshi said again: "Come back and give me a reward." "Let's go!" Ah Tong hurriedly responded. "Ah Jin!" Zhu Deshi immediately called out sharply, startling the two of them. Ah Jin hurried in: "Sister!" "You two go search Ah Xi's house to see if there are any silver coins and jewelry!" As soon as Ah Xi heard this, his complexion changed suddenly, that thin face was like a poisoned mouse.A Jin and A Tong were a little stunned, but they agreed immediately, and hurried to the small courtyard behind where the servants lived.Zhu Deshi didn't want to see Ah Xi's ugly face, so he bowed his head and sipped his tea. After a while, Ah Jin ran in with a cloth bag, put it on the ground and untied it. Inside were four ingots and fifty taels of silver collars: "Master, there are indeed. They are hidden under the bed and tied to the corner of the bed board with ropes. If it wasn't for looking closely with a lamp, I wouldn't have noticed it at all." "Tie up this thief and watch carefully, bring these silver collars and escort them to the officials tomorrow morning!" Ah Xi suddenly cried: "Master, these are all given to me by Mrs. Wu!" "Save these words and discuss them in court tomorrow. Tied up!" Ah Jin and Ah Tong were on each side, just as Ah Xi was escorted out, Ah Yin ran in and said, "Master, Mr. Zang is here."
After Feng Sai left, Zang Qi also felt that his obscene pants were ripped off face to face. He has been careful all his life, but he didn't expect that he would leak his flaws to others in a moment of impatience this time. Once it spreads...he was burning with black fire in his heart, and secretly became ruthless. Law gained a foothold in the capital.However, at the moment, the hidden charcoal has to be cleaned up quickly. The day before the cold food, Tan Li suddenly visited late at night, saying that he had something to ask for.He remained calm and listened with a sullen face. Tan Li said: "My whole heart is to get rid of Wu Meng's mad dog. A brother of mine used to open a charcoal shop in the south of the city, but Wu Meng sent a group of rogues to disturb him every day. The business couldn't go on, so he had to sell it at a low price. To Wu Meng. I am not used to this kind of deceitful dog by nature. I had no money in the past two years, so I can't do anything to him. God has eyes, and this year I made a lot of money, so I finally have the strength to avenge this. It will be the 11th, and it is time for Wu Meng to deliver charcoal to the palace. I cut off his supply and let him face a lawsuit. It’s just that I have to hide my stock of charcoal first. Uncle Zang, I know you can’t get used to it either. Wu Meng, that dog, I have no place to transport my charcoal, so I will sell it to you at the prevailing price, and I beg Uncle Zang to help me get rid of this scourge for Bianjing Charcoal Bank." After hearing this, Zang Qi couldn't help being moved, but he didn't dare to believe it completely, so he asked, "You can find another yard and transport the stored charcoal there?" "That's what I thought, but you also know that in order to manipulate Wu Meng, all the money has been accumulated into charcoal, and I have to pretend to be rich, so as to stabilize those who send charcoal. Moreover, Wu Meng's goods have to be sold out for a few days. Heavens, we can really put him to death. I really don’t have any money left to rent a yard.” After hearing this, Zang Qi believed it, and then thought about it carefully. The 900,000 yuan of charcoal is worth it if it can really get rid of Wu Meng.But what if it's fake?He thought for a long time before agreeing: "I can buy the charcoal, but there are three conditions - first, no middleman is invited, but you have to write me a letter; second, you have to find someone to carry the charcoal yourself "Third, you have to rent the yard yourself." "become!" Zang Qi thought, if Tan Li cheated, he would have evidence of his selling charcoal in his hand, so he would ask someone to watch the yard secretly, and not allow him to transport it away without permission.If the matter is exposed, and he has no evidence, he can leave it clean.At most the 900,000 was thrown away. Zang Qiyuan thought that he had thought it all out, but who knew that Feng Sai was talking about the cockfight just now, but Tan Li was actually playing tricks between him and Wu Meng.Wu Meng probably also knew where the charcoal was hidden.Although I can pretend not to know as I originally thought, but the 900,000 coal was given to Wu Meng for nothing, and this wronged money cannot be compensated anyway.What is even more regrettable is that Feng Sai was caught off guard just now, lost his position, and promised Feng Sai to transport the charcoal to the palace. After seeing Feng Sai leave, the fifth concubine came over and chattered nonstop, but he yelled away.He wandered around the room, more restless than ever. I have been careful all my life, but this time I underestimated the enemy and underestimated Tan Li and Wu Meng.Wu Mengruo knew that Tan Li had secretly sold the charcoal to me, but he didn't reveal it. Naturally, he was hiding a conspiracy.He had to wait for the palace to be extremely urgent and make a fuss with the government before he pretended to have found Na Kutan and used it as a criminal evidence to accuse me.However, at least tonight he should not be in a hurry to expose. He hurriedly ordered Gu Qi: "Hurry up and find some manpower. After dark, transfer that Kutan to our yard. Also, pay attention to both sides of the road and around the yard. Wu Meng must be sending To watch, we must find the person watching and tie him up so that he does not know that we did it. In addition, how many people did Tan Li ask to watch the yard? Who are they?" "It's the three beggars I'm looking for now." It was Gu Qi who made the deal with Tan Li and monitored the charcoal storehouse. "Give them fifteen taels of silver, and pretend to tie them up. If someone asks, let them bite to death and say that Tan Li went with Wu Meng and Feng Sai on the night of Hanshi. I don't know what it is." Charcoal carried away by men."
When Feng Sai rushed to Zhujiaqiao South Xie Street, it was completely dark. He knew that Yang Laoyu and his wife must be lying. They should have been gagged with money by the kidnappers and threatened, so naturally they wouldn't tell the truth.Qiu Han's mother and daughter should have been locked up in that yard in the afternoon, and the kidnappers probably took them away in the evening because they were afraid of being discovered.Along the way, he was so angry that he scolded himself repeatedly. If the guess is correct, their mother and daughter should have been transferred to Wu Meng.However, when he approached the intersection, he saw a person squatting under the shadow of the lanterns of the restaurants on the street. It was Lifu Liu Shitou.Since he was still squatting here to watch, Qiu Han's mother and daughter and Bi Fu hadn't sent them over yet.Feng Sai didn't stop, he rode his horse through the South Xie Street, and came to the small street of Wu Meng's villa. This alley was small, there were no shops, it was very dark and quiet, and the hooves of the horses were very loud. He stopped his horse on the side of the street, and looked at Wu Meng's other house, it was dark and there were no lights or candles.To transport Qiu Han's mother and daughter, they had to use a van. If it was pulled by oxen, it would be much slower, and I'm afraid they were still on the road.He was thinking, when suddenly he felt someone approaching, calling "Second Brother" in a low voice, it was Cui Hao. "Second brother, no one has entered that house so far. I am here, so you can go back at ease. If you stand here all the time, others will look suspicious." "Thank you for your hard work. If I can't see my wife and daughter, I won't feel at ease when I go back. There is an inn at the intersection, and I will leave my horse there." He got on his horse again, left the horse at the street corner, came back, and stood in the shadow of the wall with Cui Hao, not daring to speak, waiting anxiously...
When Wu Meng returned home, he didn't have any thoughts. He asked the maid to bring a jar of wine, but he didn't want to serve the wine and food, and drove everyone away. He poured the wine into a bowl, took two big gulps, and sat alone in the big sandalwood chair of Qin's family in the study, with a deep feeling in his heart. Tossing and turning.This study room was specially furnished for the purpose of maintaining elegance, and a lot of money was used, the scriptures printed in the inner workshop of the two large cabinets, a dozen or so famous painting scrolls and ink scrolls, the most expensive four treasures of the study that can be found: Qiaoxuan treasure broom pen, Chen Shanmo, Youquan Paper, Robin Eye Duan Inkstone.Except for the top chair he was sitting on, he had hardly touched these things in the study, but the few professors he had invited were happy to enjoy them. He took another gulp of wine, his stomach was burning, his heart was beating heavily, he couldn't help roaring, and slapped the armrest violently. Zhu Deshi's servant Ah Xi has already collected the money, and will poison Liu Erlang tonight.Zang Qizang's Nakutan also sent four people to watch over it day and night.As long as you survive these two days, you can defeat Zhu Deshi and Zang Qi at the same time. What was even more itchy was that Tan Li said that he would send Liu Bifu to the courtyard at Zhujiaqiao tonight.He wished he could rush there now, but he had to hold back, at least for a day or two.Thinking of Liu Bifu, his heart couldn't help beating violently.When Liu Bifu saw him, he would definitely refuse in fear, but these days he had already made up his mind that he would never force it, and he must be patient and let Liu Bifu accept it slowly.He has been rough since he was a child, and he has never been treated kindly by anyone, nor has he treated anyone kindly, but he will treat Liu Bifu sincerely and kindly as if he cherished his own eyeballs...
When Feng Sai rushed to the outside of Dongshuimen, the night had already fallen, and he could barely see the road clearly. He rushed all the way to Tan Li's manor, the gate was still closed, he jumped off his horse and ran towards the gate, there was no movement inside.Feng Sai couldn't help his heart beating, regretting that he should bring some helpers.But when he thought of his wife and children, he felt anxious, and couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his hand and slammed on the door. After a long time of patting, Yang Laoyu's voice came from the courtyard: "Who is it?" "Lao Yang, it's me!" After a while, there was a faint light in the crack of the door. The door opened, and Yang Laoyu was holding a rough pottery oil lamp in his hand. "Lao Yang, are my wife and children hiding inside?" "What? No." Yang Laoyu opened his dark mouth with a look of astonishment. Feng Sai didn't care anymore, pushed the door open, and strode in.It was pitch black in the courtyard, only the east room of the row of houses on the north side was lit with a little light.Feng Sai hurried to that room first, and Yang Laoyu's wife was standing at the door, watching.Feng Sai ignored her and went straight into the room. An oil lamp was lit on the square table, and in the dim light, there was only a wooden bed, a chest of drawers, two wooden boxes, and some jars in the room.He first grabbed the oil lamp on the table, went to the bed, bent down to look after it, there were only a few old shoes under the bed.He looked around the house again, the only thing that could hide people were those two boxes.He went over and lifted the lid of the old wooden box, which contained some old clothes, and then opened another box, which contained some bags, containing corn, dried vegetables, and beans respectively. As soon as he turned around, Yang Laoyu and his wife stood at the door, staring at him together. "Where are they hiding?!" Feng Sai asked loudly, his heart was already on fire. "Feng Daguan, what are you talking about? We are the only ones in this manor, there are no outsiders." Feng Sai looked at Yang Laoyu holding the oil lamp, his old face was half-respectful, half-smiling, a little light in his dark eye sockets kept flickering with the light, and his old wife's expression was faintly frightened.He knew that the two must be hiding something, so he ignored them, protected the lamp flame with his hand, turned and went out, came to the cubicle, pushed open the door, an empty room, only some miscellaneous litter on the ground, he went again Look at the second room, the third room... all the way to the eighth room, all empty rooms.
Yang Laoyu and his wife stood by the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Feng Sai's hooves to be too far away before closing the door. "Really not to tell him?" His wife lowered her voice, even though there were only two of them within a mile. "Tell what? His wife and children were locked up here first, and then taken away?

They are hidden under the bed and tied to the corner of the bed board with ropes. If it wasn't for looking closely with a lamp, I wouldn't have noticed it at all." "Tie up this thief and watch carefully, bring these silver collars and escort them to the officials tomorrow morning!" Ah Xi suddenly cried: "Master, these are all given to me by Mrs. Wu!"

Zang Qi thought, if Tan Li cheated, he would have evidence of his selling charcoal in his hand, so he would ask someone to watch the yard secretly, and not allow him to transport it away without permission.If the matter is exposed, and he has no evidence, he can leave it clean.At most the 900,000 was thrown away. Zang Qiyuan thought that he had thought it all out, but who knew that Feng Sai was talking about the cockfight just now, but Tan Li was actually playing tricks between him and Wu Meng.Wu Meng probably also knew where the charcoal was hidden.Although I can pretend not to know as I originally thought, but the 900,000 coal was given to Wu Meng for nothing, and this wronged money cannot be compensated anyway.What is even more regrettable is that Feng Sai was caught off guard just now, lost his position, and promised Feng Sai to transport the charcoal to the palace. After seeing Feng Sai leave, the fifth concubine came over and chattered nonstop, but he yelled away.He wandered around the room, more restless than ever. I have been careful all my life, but this time I underestimated the enemy and underestimated Tan Li and Wu Meng.Wu Mengruo knew that Tan Li had secretly sold the charcoal to me, but he didn't reveal it. Naturally, he was hiding a conspiracy.He had to wait for the palace to be extremely urgent and make a fuss with the government before he pretended to have found Na Kutan and used it as a criminal evidence to accuse me.However, at least tonight he should not be in a hurry to expose. He hurriedly ordered Gu Qi: "Hurry up and find some manpower. After dark, transfer that Kutan to our yard. Also, pay attention to both sides of the road and around the yard. Wu Meng must be sending To watch, we must find the person watching and tie him up so that he does not know that we did it. In addition, how many people did Tan Li ask to watch the yard? Who are they?" "It's the three beggars I'm looking for now." It was Gu Qi who made the deal with Tan Li and monitored the charcoal storehouse. "Give them fifteen taels of silver, and pretend to tie them up. If someone asks, let them bite to death and say that Tan Li went with Wu Meng and Feng Sai on the night of Hanshi. I don't know what it is." Charcoal carried away by men."
When Feng Sai rushed to Zhujiaqiao South Xie Street, it was completely dark. He knew that Yang Laoyu and his wife must be lying. They should have been gagged with money by the kidnappers and threatened, so naturally they wouldn't tell the truth.Qiu Han's mother and daughter should have been locked up in that yard in the afternoon, and the kidnappers probably took them away in the evening because they were afraid of being discovered.Along the way, he was so angry that he scolded himself repeatedly. If the guess is correct, their mother and daughter should have been transferred to Wu Meng.However, when he approached the intersection, he saw a person squatting under the shadow of the lanterns of the restaurants on the street. It was Lifu Liu Shitou.Since he was still squatting here to watch, Qiu Han's mother and daughter and Bi Fu hadn't sent them over yet.Feng Sai didn't stop, he rode his horse through the South Xie Street, and came to the small street of Wu Meng's villa. This alley was small, there were no shops, it was very dark and quiet, and the hooves of the horses were very loud. He stopped his horse on the side of the street, and looked at Wu Meng's other house, it was dark and there were no lights or candles.To transport Qiu Han's mother and daughter, they had to use a van. If it was pulled by oxen, it would be much slower, and I'm afraid they were still on the road.He was thinking, when suddenly he felt someone approaching, calling "Second Brother" in a low voice, it was Cui Hao. "Second brother, no one has entered that house so far. I am here, so you can go back at ease. If you stand here all the time, others will look suspicious." "Thank you for your hard work. If I can't see my wife and daughter, I won't feel at ease when I go back. There is an inn at the intersection, and I will leave my horse there." He got on his horse again, left the horse at the street corner, came back, and stood in the shadow of the wall with Cui Hao, not daring to speak, waiting anxiously...
When Wu Meng returned home, he didn't have any thoughts. He asked the maid to bring a jar of wine, but he didn't want to serve the wine and food, and drove everyone away. He poured the wine into a bowl, took two big gulps, and sat alone in the big sandalwood chair of Qin's family in the study, with a deep feeling in his heart. Tossing and turning.This study room was specially furnished for the purpose of maintaining elegance, and a lot of money was used, the scriptures printed in the inner workshop of the two large cabinets, a dozen or so famous painting scrolls and ink scrolls, the most expensive four treasures of the study that can be found: Qiaoxuan treasure broom pen, Chen Shanmo, Youquan Paper, Robin Eye Duan Inkstone.Except for the top chair he was sitting on, he had hardly touched these things in the study, but the few professors he had invited were happy to enjoy them. He took another gulp of wine, his stomach was burning, his heart was beating heavily, he couldn't help roaring, and slapped the armrest violently. Zhu Deshi's servant Ah Xi has already collected the money, and will poison Liu Erlang tonight.Zang Qizang's Nakutan also sent four people to watch over it day and night.As long as you survive these two days, you can defeat Zhu Deshi and Zang Qi at the same time. What was even more itchy was that Tan Li said that he would send Liu Bifu to the courtyard at Zhujiaqiao tonight.He wished he could rush there now, but he had to hold back, at least for a day or two.Thinking of Liu Bifu, his heart couldn't help beating violently.When Liu Bifu saw him, he would definitely refuse in fear, but these days he had already made up his mind that he would never force it, and he must be patient and let Liu Bifu accept it slowly.He has been rough since he was a child, and he has never been treated kindly by anyone, nor has he treated anyone kindly, but he will treat Liu Bifu sincerely and kindly as if he cherished his own eyeballs...
