Chapter 19 Chapter 18 Qingyun Inn

Huo Xiaoxie suddenly lost her sleepiness, and hurriedly listened carefully, only to hear someone making noise in the front hall of the Avenue Inn. "Boss Kong, we only have five or six guests here, so there are no thieves!" "Stop talking nonsense! Your inn is called Da Dao, Da Dao Thief! If you don't check, who are you looking for?" "Boss Kong, if you investigate, my small shop will not be able to continue! It scares away all the customers!" "Go ahead, you still have to pay back the money owed to my master Wang, I think you should sell this dilapidated inn early! Pay back the money quickly and find another way to make a living!"

"Master Wang said don't worry..." "Fart, Mr. Wang is not in a hurry, that is Mr. Wang's benevolence! What am I doing? If you don't pay back the money, I'm so fucking anxious! Go away! Someone! Search! Search! One room, one room The search of the house! Dare to steal in Wangjiabao! I think some thief has eaten the heart of the bear and the guts of the leopard! Playing wild in Lao Tzu's field!" In the front hall of the Avenue Inn, a dozen or so people yelled and searched around, their footsteps were chaotic and heavy, the shaking of the house was noisy, and at the same time, there were endless swearing.

Huo Xiaoxie looked out of the window, and saw that the lights of several guest rooms on the second floor had been turned on, and there were people dancing around inside, and there were a lot of disputes and fights. Huo Xiaoxie was feeling strange when he heard several people striding towards the firewood room, shouting along the way. "Is there anyone living in the woodshed?" "Yes, yes, a brother from out of town." The waiter replied cautiously. Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself: "This is too bad. If they find me here, I really can't explain it to them. Grandma's, I can't sleep well. Thirty-six tricks, the best plan is to walk! I'll slip!" "

Huo Xiaoxie took one last look from the woodshed window, seeing that it didn't matter, she broke out in a cold sweat from fright.Behind a burly and sturdy man, there were three men who also wore the clothes of the bodyguards of the Wang Family Courtyard. Among them was an older middle-aged man who was not conspicuous.The moonlight was bright, and Huo Xiaoxie could see clearly that this middle-aged man was Zhang Siye from Fengtian City! Although Zhang Siye's majestic temperament is not obvious at this time, he seems to be a follower, but with Huo Xiaoxie's memory, even if Zhang Siye shows a piece of scalp, Huo Xiaoxie can recognize it!

Fourth Master Zhang followed the big man into the backyard and walked towards the firewood room. Although he did not show his face, he did not show his anger, and Huo Xiaoxie's heart beat wildly when he saw it.It's just strange that Fourth Master Zhang had a palm-sized burn on his face, and half of his hair was shaved bald, as if he had been burned by fire. Huo Xiaoxie didn't have time to think about it, she hurriedly stepped aside, and quickly glanced around the woodshed.In addition to the big window in front of the house, there are two small windows on the high places on both sides of the firewood house. The firewood piled up below is full of chaotic firewood, and there is no place to step on it.

Huo Xiaoxie was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, if he went out from the front window, he would be caught on the spot, and if he climbed up the small window, it might be too late! The burly man who led Fourth Master Zhang into the backyard was the head of Escort Kong of the Royal Family Courtyard in Wangjiabao.Although Escort Kong is only a member of the Wang family compound, he is actually equivalent to a "police chief" in the Wang family castle, performing some functions such as maintaining law and order, catching thieves and preventing theft, and daily patrolling.This old society is not like today. A village with more than a thousand people has a village branch, with a village official or something. In those days, small places like villages and towns were often managed by families. .After the establishment of the government of the Republic of China, the so-called democratic politics was promoted, and the patriarchs were assigned titles, such as chairman, town head, and village head.

As an emerging town, Wangjiabao has a large scale. The government of the Republic of China set up an administrative agency here, but it was just a display of three or five people. The power of the Wangjia compound is still overwhelming. Marriage and funeral are all decided by the Wang family. Boss Kong led Fourth Master Zhang very cautiously, looking back at Fourth Master Zhang from time to time, for fear that Fourth Master Zhang might wink at him.The group of them walked quickly to the firewood room, the waiter opened the door of the firewood room, and shouted: "Master, I'm bothering you to rest!"

Biaotou Kong, Fourth Master Zhang and others entered in a file. Looking around, the firewood room was empty. How could there be someone from Huo Xiaoxie? Boss Kong frowned and scolded: "Xiaoer, where is he?" The waiter saw that there was no one in the room, and said in surprise: "I didn't see him come out, did he go to the latrine?" Boss Kong scolded: "Call me out!" Fourth Master Zhang snorted, sniffed his nose, and said, "I think someone was there just now." Fourth Master Zhang took a step forward and walked towards the firewood pile. Huo Xiaoxie was hiding behind the woodpile at this moment, seeing Fourth Master Zhang approaching, he cried out in his heart: "It's over, it's over! I can't run away now!"

Just when Mr. Zhang was one step away from the woodpile, he heard the shrill whistle outside the firewood room, and the rubble on the roof. and the sound of crumbling tiles. Fourth Master Zhang gave a sudden pause, and ran out of the firewood room without looking back. How could Kong Biaotou and others dare to be negligent, and they followed Fourth Master Zhang out of the house without caring about inspecting the firewood room. On the roof of the Avenue Inn, there were a dozen Hook Soldiers standing, many of them had released their ropes and held them firmly, while the rest were waving their three-claw hooks, all on alert!In the middle of the backyard, a man wearing a black cloak with his head and face tightly covered had already been bitten by seven or eight hooks, and was pulled to the ground and could not move.The black-robed man scolded sharply and strangely: "Zhang Si! You are so ruthless! How dare you play such a dirty trick!"

Fourth Master Zhang ran up to him, and said with a smile, "Gray haired louse, do you think you can escape? I caught you only after chasing Wangjiabao, it's your skill!" The gray haired louse scolded: "Zhang Si, I have never provoked you! I have never been to the Northeast to commit crimes, are you being too ruthless!" Fourth Master Zhang scolded with a smile: "I just don't like you thieves! What's wrong with arresting you? I'm happy!" The gray-haired louse snorted, and struggled again, knowing that there was no way to return to heaven, and there was no way he could talk to Fourth Master Zhang, so he simply shut up.

Mr. Zhou jumped off the roof, ran to Fourth Master Zhang, and said, "Fourth Master Zhang, I got it!" Fourth Master Zhang nodded, cupped his fists, and said, "Boss Kong, thank you! If it wasn't for your help, we might not be able to drive him out all at once." Escort Kong hurriedly said: "Fourth Master Zhang, you are a distinguished guest, a world-renowned big catcher, to come to our Wangjiabao to catch thieves, and to see your majesty with my own eyes, I am really lucky in my life! Fourth Master Zhang, please Please, Master Wang Xing will definitely be waiting to see you." Boss Kong didn't care whether he caught anyone or not, what he cared about was when Fourth Master Zhang would go to see Wang Xing in the Wang family compound. Fourth Master Zhang thanked him with a slight nod, and shouted at the gray hair louse: "Tie it up! Take it away!" Several hook soldiers jumped down from the roof, and tied up the gray hair lice tightly with all their hands and feet.A hook soldier stepped forward to pull off the hood of the gray hair lice, but he was taken aback for a moment. He saw that this man was extremely ugly, with a mouse face, crooked features, a pair of soybean-sized eyes, smoldering light, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. Out of the lips, it doesn't look like a person. Fourth Master Zhang scolded: "Cover his head, it's an eyesore!" After saying that, he turned and left. The Hook Soldier complied, covering the face of the gray hair louse, and several people held him by the hands and feet, and followed Fourth Master Zhang out of the backyard quickly. When Boss Zhang and the waiter saw that they had really caught the thief, they trembled with fright, and respectfully sent Escort Kong and Fourth Master Zhang out of the Avenue Inn.Fourth Master Zhang clasped his fists at Boss Zhang in a gracious manner, and said, "Shopkeeper, what a bother! I hope you will forgive me!" Boss Zhang wished he could kneel down and kowtow to Fourth Master Zhang. He was so flustered that he was at a loss, and he replied in an incomprehensible way: "Don't dare, don't dare! You go slowly! Come again next time, come again next time! I won't send you off! No, you stay here , It’s not that you didn’t give it away! Ah! I’m sorry! I’m confused...my mother.” Fourth Master Zhang didn't think it was strange, Escort Kong led the way, and the group walked away in the blink of an eye. Several guests of the Avenue Inn, at first, complained about Kong Biaotou's middle-of-the-night rounds. Seeing that the thief was really caught, they talked a lot and made a fuss in the front hall. Boss Zhang wiped the face of the big man, and hurriedly appeased everyone: "Masters, guests! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed everyone!" Some residents scolded: "You shopkeeper! You let such a villain live with us! I will never live in your dilapidated shop again! Money back! Money back!" "Yes! Money back! Money back! I'm leaving now! I don't want to stay here for a moment!" Boss Zhang comforted this one, comforted that one, and finally sent these residents back to their rooms temporarily. Boss Zhang sighed: "I just said that the person who lives in the single room looks weird, and he is not stingy about spending money. I didn't expect that he is really a villain! Fortunately, fortunately, if I hadn't been caught, my savings in the past two years would have been worthless." Let him steal it." Boss Zhang was sighing and sighing, when he heard someone calling him in the corner: "Hey, Boss Zhang! The one you took away lived in the single room where you killed people?" Boss Zhang turned his head and saw Huo Xiaoxie coming out of the shadows, he quickly stepped forward to hold Huo Xiaoxie, and said in a low voice, "Master, don't shout. I'm really scared of you people!" Huo Xiaoxie said: "What do you call you? I am me, he is him, don't talk nonsense." Boss Zhang lowered his voice and said, "The man who was arrested just now came to Qingyun Inn." Huo Xiaoxie snorted and said, "He's looking for him, and I'm looking for it. Oh, you mean those who look for Qingyun Inn are all bad guys? What's the reason for that!" Boss Zhang wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I don't doubt you, so don't take offense. If you want to leave, I'll refund your money!" Huo Xiaoxie spread his arms and said, "Who said I want to leave? Are you going to drive me away? Hehe, I just want to stay in this store for a few more days! But tomorrow's rent, I won't give it! It's going to be noisy tonight!" Huo Xiaoxie thought clearly, Fourth Master Zhang has caught someone in this store, and the mission is accomplished, he will definitely not come back to this inn again, this Avenue Inn is currently in the Wangjiabao. The safest place. Boss Zhang said helplessly: "Okay! Okay! Listen to you, listen to you!" Huo Xiaoxie yawned, and said, "Okay, we can agree. Don't regret it! Go back to sleep!" Huo Xiaoxie swaggered back to the firewood room, lay down, and then heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that if Zhang Siye hadn't caught him just now, he would have fallen into Zhang Siye's hands, and that would be terrible. Huo Xiaoxie thought about it carefully, and guessed that what happened just now must have been caused by Zhang Siye secretly surrounding the inn with hook soldiers in advance, and then let the head of the escort Kong come in to make a big noise, drive out the gray hair lice, and fall into the inn. They snare, and then catch in one fell swoop.Huo Xiaoxie sighed and said: "This Fourth Master Zhang is really not simple! But looking at the burns on his face, is it caused by Brother Yan Jingtian and the others? I guess Fourth Master Zhang is not the opponent of the Huo family. Sigh, Brother Yan Ah, where are you, do you know that I have also come to Wangjiabao? Where is Qingyun Inn?" Inside the Wang family compound, there were torches like a forest, brightly lit.This huge courtyard is like a small city, with seven horizontal and seven vertical roads, which are well arranged to separate the houses in the courtyard into different groups. In the middle of the big courtyard, there is another set of prominent courtyards, which are the reception residences of Master Wang Quan and Young Master Wang Xing. The pavilions and pavilions inside are all resplendent and resplendent, not at all royal. Boss Kong led Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou into the huge living room. Seven or eight people rushed to meet him. The first one was wearing a fine silk gown. He was in his forties, and his hair was combed shiny. I know he is a very rich man. The man greeted Fourth Master Zhang, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and said, "Fourth Master Zhang! Next is Wang Xing." Fourth Master Zhang is used to these scenes, with a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Wang, please excuse me, please excuse me, Zhang Si who is in Fengtian City." The two exchanged some pleasantries, Wang Xing introduced his brothers, wives and concubines one by one, and invited Fourth Master Zhang to take the seat.More than a dozen maids busily served tea and pastries to Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou and others. Several people exchanged a few pleasantries with each other, and then they got to the point. Wang Xing said: "Master Zhang, the God of Yufeng has returned to the rivers and lakes, we businessmen, we are very lucky!" Fourth Master Zhang said: "What about the God of the Wind? It's a matter of the previous dynasty. Old Huang Li, don't mention it." Wang Xing said: "Master Zhang, when our Wang family started doing business in the late Qing Dynasty, Yufengshenzhu was our family's benefactor!" Fourth Master Zhang said with a smile: "Oh? How do you say that?" Wang Xing said: "When our Wang family was just getting better, we used all our wealth to create a pair of Feng Shui beads, intending to sell them to the prince in the capital, but we were caught by thieves halfway and stole our beads. Go. Thanks to Yu Fengshen, who chased him for three days, caught the thief, and recovered the beads! Since then, our Wang family has flourished and prospered. This is a great favor!" Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Oh! So in the case file we recorded, the case of the theft of Feng Shui beads from a merchant surnamed Wang refers to you. I remember this, I remember it!" Wang Xing said: "But I didn't meet you again. I only heard a lot of rumors about you. After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, I heard that Yufeng Shenzhang had withdrawn from the Jianghu. No. I can see my benefactor today, please accept my worship." As Wang Xing said, he stood up and was about to kneel in front of Fourth Master Zhang. Fourth Master Zhang hurriedly stood up to support Wang Xing, and said, "Mr. I can't stand the achievements of my predecessors! Now the so-called Yufengshen catcher has long lost the prestige of the past. I'm so ashamed! I'm so ashamed! Please sit down! Don't do this again! Otherwise, I can't be here Stay, I have no choice but to say goodbye." Fourth Master Zhang pressed Wang Xing on the chair before returning to his seat and sitting down. Wang Xing sighed: "Master Zhang, dare to ask, has Yufeng Shenchui really returned to the rivers and lakes?" Fourth Master Zhang pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Yes, I have to go out of the rivers and lakes again." Wang Xing hurriedly asked: "Did a shocking incident happen?" Fourth Master Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, it's inconvenient for me to talk about these things. Please forgive me." Wang Xing said: "I understand! I understand! I understand very well! Don't ask, don't ask." Fourth Master Zhang said: "We passed by here today, and we were tracking down a thief named "Big Hair Louse". This thief is very famous in Shandong and has done countless big crimes, but his footprints have never left Shandong! This time I It was very strange to find him in Shanxi, so I chased him all the way, but I didn't expect to catch him in Wangjiabao. This is all thanks to the help of Escort Kong!" Biaotou Kong smiled happily at the side. Mr. Zhang gave a slight signal to Escort Kong, and continued: "However, I came to Shanxi Wangjiabao this time not only for this gray haired lice, but for other important matters. Therefore, I am very sorry for disturbing everyone. If Mr. Wang doesn't mind If you don’t, please stay here for a night, and we will leave tomorrow.” Wang Xing hurriedly said, "Where is Fourth Master Zhang going?" Mr. Zhang said: "Wangjiabao is not a place we must pass through, and we will catch thieves by the way. Mr. Wang wants to ask us where to go. To be honest, we haven't made up our minds yet. We may need to do some research in the surrounding area before we go." Make a decision." Wang Xing raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly. Fourth Master Zhang wondered, "What is Mr. Wang laughing at?" Wang Xing smiled and said: "I'm happy, I'm happy! I didn't dare to keep Fourth Master Zhang here, for fear of delaying your work. Since Fourth Master Zhang doesn't know where to go, I must let Fourth Master Zhang stay with us Stay here for ten days and half a month! Thank you Yufengshenbu for your great kindness to our Wang family!" Fourth Master Zhang hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" Wang Xing said: "You should investigate, I will investigate you, but you must live with me and let me treat you well. When the investigation is completed, you can leave at any time. I will never block it. Mr. Zhang , if you don't agree, I can only kneel down and thank you!" Fourth Master Zhang quickly reached out to stop him, and said, "Mr. Wang, absolutely not! Allow me to discuss it." Mr. Zhang turned his head to look at Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment, then leaned into Mr. Zhang's ear and whispered: "Since we lost to Yan Jingtian and others, the chewers have been attacked by fire and hurt their noses. There was no trace of them. So we searched all the way to Shanxi, and several months passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no trace. Since Yan Jingtian said that the mirror was in his hands, even if it was a lie, he must know the whereabouts of the mirror. The main thing is to catch him. Since we entered Shanxi, we have felt that the thieves are getting stronger, and when we arrive at Wangjiabao, the thieves are even more so. Even the "grey hair lice" in Shandong can stay here. I am afraid that the area around Wangjiabao The gathering of thieves is not aimed at the Wang family, or they have other plans. We might as well stay in Wangjiabao, first find out why the gray haired lice came to Shanxi, and then send more people to observe nearby, maybe we can find some clues!" Fourth Master Zhang replied in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou is right, I think we will sell them a favor, one is to recuperate, and the other is to discuss countermeasures." Mr. Zhou nodded and said, "That's good!" Fourth Master Zhang turned his head and said: "Mr. Wang, since the kindness is hard to refuse, we can't refuse it! Please everyone!" Wang Xing was full of joy, stood up and shouted: "Come here, prepare food and drinks for Fourth Master Zhang and the others! Make a quiet yard for Fourth Master Zhang and the others to rest well!" The servants all agreed, and hurried down to tidy up. Fourth master Zhang, Mr. Zhou and a group of hook soldiers will live in the Wang family compound.They ate and drank wine and meat with Wang Xing, so let's not show it for now. In the middle of the night, Fourth Master Zhang and the others finally settled down, and the Wang family compound returned to calm. Treading, hurried footsteps sounded in a secluded and dark corridor in the Wang family compound, a manservant held a lantern and led the way ahead.Behind the bodyguard, Wang Xing followed closely, with a nervous look on his face, and kept walking fast. The two rushed to a unique small courtyard, the male servant retreated, and Wang Xing walked forward alone and entered a big room. A maid stepped forward and said in a low voice, "The old master is waiting for you in the study." "Okay." Wang Xing didn't stop, and continued to walk into the room. Wang Xing walked to an antique door, gently opened the door, and called out: "Father, I'm here." An old man with gray hair and a beardless face was sitting by the desk in the room, reading a book by candlelight.The old man looked very energetic and not sick at all. He didn't look up, but still read the book attentively, and asked, "Wang Xing, did you keep everyone here?" His father was named Wang Quan. Wang Xing stood in the house, bowed respectfully and said: "It's very safe to stay here, and the yard I live in is also the one arranged by my father." The old man said: "That's good, it's done well. Wang Xing, you will make a lot of noise on the street tomorrow, saying that the Yufeng Shenzhang has come to the Wang family compound, and the Wang family castle will sing a big show for ten days. Please come and join us." " Wang Xing said: "Understood, I will arrange it immediately." The old man said: "Also, where they are going, just ask someone to keep an eye on them. Don't disturb them, just let them know." Wang Xing said: "Understood." The old man said: "Okay, then go down and treat Mr. Zhang and the others well. Each meal will cost at least one tael of gold. The more the better." Wang Xing responded, and said: "Father, you should also go to bed early, and you can rest assured about the outside affairs." The old man waved his hand, and Wang Xing slowly exited the house. The old man sighed, put down the book, and said to himself: "Yufengshen catcher, you don't come early or late, but you come to join in the fun at this time. Haha, whatever, let them have a good time." A courtyard in the Wang family compound is the residence of Fourth Master Zhang and the others. In the courtyard, some hook soldiers were feeding the horses, some were sitting around smoking and chatting, and some were polishing their three-claw hooks, looking very peaceful.In a corner of the yard, three leopard dogs lay lazily on the ground. In front of them was a large pile of bones with fleshy belts. They seemed to be 100% full, yawning with their mouths open, doing nothing.They have been traveling for several months, and it is rare to have such leisure and stability. In a room in this courtyard, the candles were brightly lit, illuminating the room like daytime. Mr. Zhang was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, Mr. Zhou was sitting beside him, and on the ground in front of them lay gray haired lice tied like rice dumplings.Zhang Siye held a fingernail-sized black stone in his hand, and carefully looked it over and over again. This stone was exactly the black stone Huo Ling that Huo Xiaoxie also had, and it was a token for the Huo family to recruit disciples. Fourth Master Zhang said to Mr. Zhou: "I don't know what the word fire on the black stone means?" Mr. Zhou stared at Heishi all the time, and said, "Could it be related to the Five Elements Family again? This character for fire represents the Huo family?" Fourth Master Zhang said, "It's hard to say." Fourth Master Zhang pinched the black stone, kicked the gray hair lice on the ground with his feet, and cursed: "Have you thought about it clearly, tell me or not? Since you know my name, Zhang Si, tell me earlier, and I will spare you." Life." The gray-haired louse chuckled a few times, and said, "Zhang Si, don't think too highly of yourself! I, the gray-haired louse, have never been caught before. Today I let you catch me. I really admire you! But You want to ask something out of my mouth, but it is more difficult than reaching the sky. Chi Chi Chi Chi!" Mr. Zhou said: "Gray-haired louse, I know you are a good man. I don't think you are worth it..." The gray-haired louse laughed sharply: "You old man, you are so capable, and I admire you too. If you want to play tricks to get out of my words, you still don't even think about it. Come on, come on, hurry up, or give me a scratch Itchy, or I will send me to see the King of Hades for a drink." Mr. Zhou said with a smile: "Gray-haired louse, I don't beat you, I don't scold you, I just want to make friends with you." The gray-haired louse said: "Friend? You old man, you don't know me, right? I, the gray-haired louse, when will I have a friend? Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi, I've talked too much nonsense, I'm so tired and flustered, don't ask me anymore, If you want to hit or scratch, you can do whatever you want." Fourth Master Zhang said: "Mr. Zhou, I don't think there is any need to ask. Who can ask a half-truth about this kind of gangster?" Mr. Zhou said: "It's okay, we still have time." Mr. Zhou stood up, straightened the gray-haired louse, lifted the turban on his head, looked closely at the gray-haired louse's eyes, his eyes suddenly became blurred, and asked like a raving: "Big-haired louse, the black stone and the five-element thief king Is it relevant?" Seeing Mr. Zhou like this, Fourth Master Zhang's expression suddenly became serious. The gray haired louse looked into Mr. Zhou's eyes, shook his head suddenly, pulled himself together, and scolded sharply: "You can read minds? Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi, fun, fun! I see what you can read?" Mr. Zhou didn't respond, and he still muttered to himself: "Gray haired louse, is this black stone related to the Five Element Thief King?" In the dark night, everything in Wangjiabao is quiet, as if everyone has fallen asleep. Who knows what is going to happen in Wangjiabao now, and what will happen in the future? Huo Xiaoxie slept soundly, had no dreams all night, and fell asleep until dawn. Huo Xiaoxie didn't forget that before Fourth Master Zhang came, there seemed to be a water monster calling him in his sleep, but Huo Xiaoxie felt that if it was the water monster and the others, they would meet if they came out. If they deliberately avoided him, If you can't find it even if you look for it, it's better to sleep peacefully.Huo Xiaoxie is not one of those indecisive lovers who can talk about a woman who stays up all night. Huo Xiaoxie has her own point of view. The world is so big that I am who I am. I don’t have to curry favor with anyone. I don’t need to expect miracles from others, let alone do it deliberately. Others live. After waking up, Huo Xiaoxie went to the well in the courtyard to wash up briefly, refreshed herself, and planned to go to the west today to look for clues to the Qingyun Inn. At this time, in the courtyard where Zhang Siye lived in the Wang family compound, all the hook soldiers had already eaten breakfast, and gathered in the courtyard to practice separately. Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou pushed the door out, and the hook soldiers stopped to say hello to Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou.Fourth Master Zhang smiled and signaled everyone to continue practicing. Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou walked slowly to the leopard dog. Despite their huge size, the three leopard dogs were very excited to rub their big heads on the two of them when they saw Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou coming. They were very affectionate.Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou touched the leopard dog's big head, and continued to walk forward until they reached a corner. Fourth Master Zhang asked: "Mr. Zhou, you have worked hard! I haven't seen you interrogating with mind reading skills for a long time!" Mr. Zhou said: "It's not hard! If you don't use this mind-reading technique, it will become unfamiliar. It is said to be a mind-reading technique, but in fact it is to ask a question and observe whether the other person thinks "yes" or "no". There are many questions. It seems to be able to read minds, hehe, it’s not a big skill. It’s just that this gray haired louse is famous in Shandong, and he is really not an ordinary person. I spent a whole night, but I didn’t read much. Why come to Shanxi, no clue, not easy to ask questions, difficult progress!" Fourth Master Zhang asked: "Then what clues do you have now?" Mr. Zhou said: "At present, we can only judge that the gray haired louse came to Shanxi, and it is indeed related to the five great thief kings, and it is also related to the fire thief king. He wants to settle down in Wangjiabao and find something. This thing may be related to him. future way out." Fourth Master Zhang said: "Well, I really don't know what to do with that." Mr. Zhou said: "However, we still have a lot of time. If we ask for ten or eight days, we should be able to figure out 60% to 70%." Fourth Master Zhang nodded, and the two walked slowly around a few times, stretching their fists and feet.It was not too early when the two met, so they arranged for the hook soldiers to get ready and planned to go to patrol around Wangjiabao. They were packing their luggage when they vaguely heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. Fourth Master Zhang was very puzzled, what joy is there to beat the gongs and drums so early in the morning? As soon as Huo Xiaoxie walked to the front hall of the Avenue Inn, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the door, beating gongs and drums, and he was very happy.Boss Zhang, the waiter and a few tenants were crowding at the door of the inn to watch the fun. Huo Xiaoxie came over, greeted everyone, and looked out. It doesn't matter if Huo Xiaoxie doesn't look at it, it's fun to see it. On the street in front of Huo Xiaoxie, a group of people in colorful makeup was parading through the streets beating gongs and drums. At the head of it was a man dressed as a clown with a loud voice, and after walking a few steps, he sang loudly: "The God of Yufeng came to Wangjiabao and captured the Shandong bandit "Gray hair lice", Mr. Wang welcomes the distinguished guests, and even sings a big show for ten days, and the villagers, old and young, are all watching!" Behind the man, in addition to the gongs and drums, there was a flatbed cart pulled by two horses , the above four actors, three dressed as hook soldiers, wielding the nondescript three-claw hook, and one dressed as a "gray lice", fighting back and forth in a dramatic way until the "gray lice" was held down. Hair lice", and so on and on and on.A large group of children followed the car, jumping and clapping their hands and shouting, "Oh, thief caught, thief caught!" This group of people walked bustlingly along the street, posting welcome announcements along the way, attracting all the old and young in Wangjiabao, men and women, to come out of the house and stop to watch. The shop boy, Er Le, smiled and muttered: "Hey, there's a big show to watch! It's been a long time since I've seen a show!" Boss Zhang snapped his fingers on the waiter's head, and cursed: "What's the matter with you, you dare to sneak out to watch a play and break your leg!" The shop clerk covered his head, complaining endlessly, rubbed his head for a long time, and said: "Master, those heavenly soldiers and generals who came here last night to play hooks, are they Yufengshen catchers? They are so powerful!" Boss Zhang said: "It's probably them. With their skills, they can run like flying on the roof. Let alone a human, even a mature weasel can't escape." The other residents had nothing to do, so they listened to Boss Zhang and the others talking about what happened last night, and they all came over and talked nonsense.The guys from some shops next door knew that the Avenue Inn was turned upside down last night, and they also came over to find out the news, and everyone immediately chatted in full swing. The word "Yufengshencatch" spread across the streets and alleys in the blink of an eye, and became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even a three-year-old child could understand that "Yufengshencatch" is for catching thieves. Huo Xiaoxie didn't get involved with them, and walked away alone, secretly laughing in his heart: "This Wang Jiabao's master is really interesting, it's so noisy, I'm afraid people don't know if Yufengshen is arrested in Wangjiabao? Feelings seem to come here The thieves tipped off the news. Cough! Maybe the people in their small places are so noisy when the big men come." Huo Xiaoxie was too lazy to care so much, and went to the west to find the Qingyun Inn. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou were afraid that the leopard dog would be scary, so they didn't take the leopard dog with them. They left a few hook soldiers to watch the yard and gray hair lice, and led the others out of the yard.Biaotou Feng had been waiting outside the courtyard. Seeing Fourth Master Zhang come out, he hurriedly led him to the main entrance of the Wang family compound. Fourth Master Zhang and the others hadn't gone far, and the sound of gongs and drums outside became louder and louder, as if they were walking towards the Wang family's compound, so they asked Escort Kong, "Escort Kong, are you going to greet the relatives outside early in the morning?" Biaotou Kong smiled and said: "No, no, you will know when you go out and have a look." Fourth Master Zhang followed Escort Kong suspiciously, and the crowd walked quickly to the gate of the Wang family compound. Escort Kong opened the gate, and everyone filed out, looking at Wang Xing Street in front of them, all of them were stunned. I saw the team of make-up gongs and drums passing by the door of the Avenue Inn where Huo Xiaoxie was located just now, singing and singing praises to the God of Wind, and trying their best to show off. come. Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou stared at the gong and drum team approaching from a distance, and were stunned, their jaws almost dropped.Boss Kong still complimented the two of them: "Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou, how about it? Although our place is not as good as the provincial capital, it is still very lively." Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou couldn't laugh or cry, and they couldn't say anything wrong with others.Fourth Master Zhang was dumb eating Coptis chinensis, he couldn't tell what he was suffering from, so he could only grit his teeth and say with a smile: "Yes, it's lively, it's lively, everyone in the city knows it, everyone in the city knows it." Biaotou Kong didn't realize it, and said to himself: "I'm in a hurry, I haven't done enough ostentation, or I have to get twenty or thirty actors to show off your majesty, Fourth Master Zhang." Fourth Master Zhang sighed, he really had nothing to say, so he let them toss, and planned to take the hook soldiers away quickly. Mr. Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou had not taken a few steps with the hook soldiers, and a crowd of people rushed out from the corner of the street. They were all merchant owners, accountants, and shopkeepers who could make it to the Wangjiabao. There were as many as three hundred people, Qi Qi surrounded fourth master Zhang and the others, hugging fourth master Zhang and the others, and invited them to visit his own shop, and by the way, they taught them some ways to prevent theft and thieves.All of them looked sincere and well-spoken, extremely respectful. Mr. Zhang and the others crowded in the crowd, whether they were going or not, but they didn't dare to get angry, so Mr. Zhang could only shout loudly: "Everyone, come on slowly, come on slowly! We still have work to do! There is something important to do! Only one person in the family will go!" Zhang Siye originally meant to say that it is enough to send one or two hook soldiers to the family alone.Unexpectedly, as soon as Fourth Master Zhang finished speaking, the crowd became agitated, and immediately began to carve up the hook soldiers. Those who snatched people, surrounded them and took them away as if they had snatched treasures. The head of Escort Kong shouted happily: "These are all distinguished guests of Master Wang. If you are negligent, I will show you! They must be sent back before noon! Anyone who dares to stay longer, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhang Siye managed to reject the invitations of countless people, and slipped back behind Kong Escort in disheveled clothes. Looking up, more than a dozen hook soldiers had long since disappeared, and even Mr. Zhou was surrounded by people and taken away.Fourth Master Zhang spread his hands, and said sadly: "Boss Kong, you people from the Wang Family Fort are too.... Sigh!" Let's not talk about Zhang Siye's predicament for now, let's talk about returning to Huo Xiaoxie's side. Huo Xiaoxie searched in the west for half a day, but there was still no clue. It was almost noon, and Huo Xiaoxie was hungry, so he found an open-air pancake stand, bought a large pancake, sat at a table in the shade, and drank cold water. eat up. Huo Xiaoxie had just eaten half of it, when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she saw two people approaching.Just as Huo Xiaoxie wanted to take a look, the two sat beside Huo Xiaoxie, one on the left and the other on the right, and one of them smiled and said, "We meet again!" Huo Xiaoxie looked up, and saw that these two were Zheng Zedao whom he met yesterday and Guo Laoqi.Zheng Zedao had a smile on his face, while Guo Laoqi still hated Huo Xiaoxie, and his mouth was crooked and he didn't look directly at Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie was taken aback for a moment, and didn't want to run away, but said displeasedly: "What? Unconvinced, revenge is here?" Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "Where is that, Brother Huo, don't worry too much, I think we two are destined, seeing you here, so I hurried up to say hello." Huo Xiaoxie said coldly: "We don't have much friendship. You are busy with yours, and I am busy with mine. Well water does not interfere with river water." Although Huo Xiaoxie didn't dislike Zheng Zedao, he hated Guo Laoqi very much, and missed Guo Laoqi. Seventh, since he is called Young Master Zheng Zedao, he is probably his servant. With such a lackluster servant, the master probably won't be much better. Zheng Zedao still smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Huo, I saw you in ragged clothes yesterday, but you changed into a different outfit today. You are so capable, I almost didn't recognize you." Huo Xiaoxie took a bite of pancakes and said, "It's thanks to you two." Guo Laoqi snorted heavily. 郑则道说道：“火兄弟，我知道你觉得郭老七偷了救命钱，有违贼道的规矩，所以对我也看不顺眼。我不仅理解，而且还对火兄弟十分佩服。” 火小邪说道：“郑大少爷，你就别绕着说话啦，我是奉天来的，就喜欢干脆，你有话就直说好了。这个南方人和北方人，咋就差别这么大呢。” 郭老七嘴巴里嘀嘀咕咕的乱骂，就是不敢骂出声，不断斜着眼睛瞪火小邪。 郑则道笑道：“那好！其实我就是想问问火兄弟，是不是你也在找青云客栈？” 火小邪一愣，心想：“估计这两个家伙，跟了我一路了！听到我找别人打听青云客栈。” 火小邪说道：“呵呵，既然郑大少爷都说了，我也认了。是啊，是啊，我就是在找青云客栈。郑大少爷，你也是吧？” 郑则道点了点头，笑道：“既然大家都在找青云客栈，要不咱们互相照应着，谁有线索都彼此通报一声，总比自己去找方便很多。火兄弟，你觉得呢？” 火小邪看了看郑则道，到一下子摸不透他的心思，但是他的提议，又未尝不可。火小邪略略犹豫了一下，说道：“这个王家堡里，恐怕打听青云客栈的贼道高手不少，我昨天才刚到这里，你不找别人，为何找上我？你就不怕我拖你的后腿？” 郑则道笑道：“的确王家堡里，已经云集了的各路好手，可他们大多老奸巨猾，独来独往，不仅彼此都看不起，更互相信不过。与火兄弟昨日一见，尽管有些冲突，闹得不太愉快，但我也能看出火兄弟乃是一个重信用、讲道理、懂规矩的好汉，信得过！火兄弟，你把钱还给那老汉了吧，我可是看到了哦，呵呵。” 火小邪心想：“你这个郑则道，估计也和他们一样，老奸巨猾！不过你愿意和我分享情报，对我倒是没什么坏处。” 火小邪说道：“那好，你既然信我，我也信你！你说吧，咱们怎么合作？” 郑则道说道：“白天，我们就各自忙各自的，每天晚上八点，你来王兴街的红马客栈甲三房找我，若有人问你，你就说找江苏过来卖货的郑少爷。” 火小邪说道：“你怎么不来找我？” 郑则道说道：“你住的大道客栈，店小了点，住客不多，你又住在柴房，所以进进出出的恐怕招人耳目，呵呵，还是到我这里来吧。” 火小邪暗骂：“既然连我住哪里都摸清楚了，感情你一直留意着我。” 火小邪说道：“行，我找你就我找你！” 郑则道抱了抱拳，笑道：“那就不打扰火兄弟了，告辞了！记得啊，今晚八点，咱们在红马客栈甲三房见！不见不散！” 郑则道和郭老七起身走远。 火小邪仍然坐在桌边，有些发愣，慢慢吃着手中的大饼。 郑则道他们走的远了，郭老七才不甘心的说道：“大少爷，我就是想不通，咱们与谁合作，都不用和这个小子合作吧？您不是说了，他顶到天会拿盘儿，论身份也最多是下五铃里的品一、品二，这种小贼毛，到哪里都是一抓一大把啊！” 郑则道说道：“郭老七，你打打杀杀是个好手，却不是个好贼！有些事情，跟你说了你也不明白！” 郭老七愁道：“大少爷，那你就教教我吧。我郁闷的很，真的想不通啊。” 郑则道慢悠悠的说道：“一个小贼毛，怎么会拿到黑石？又怎么会从奉天不远万里的来山西王家堡？就算他现在本事不大，也一定有特殊的天赋！更重要的是，我怀疑他认识火家的人，万一有人给他走后门，透露给他一点青云客栈的关键，那不是方便了我们吗？” 郭老七抓抓头，说道：“这火王招弟子，都能走后门？” 郑则道笑道：“我看这小子拿到黑石，八成都是走的后门！嘿嘿！” 郭老七一拍大腿：“大少爷，我真是太佩服你了！” 郑则道不再言语，大摇大摆的向前走去，郭老七紧紧跟着，把郑则道奉若神明。 火小邪想来想去，也想不出郑则道玩的什么鬼花样，既然想不出，就懒得再想。火小邪把饼子吃完以后，慢悠悠的在王家堡闲逛，不再打听青云客栈，只是看看这个摸摸那个，十分轻松自在。 火小邪浪荡了一个下午，自然青云客栈所在没有一点进展。火小邪并不着急，入夜之后，花了一个钱饱餐一顿，看时间差不多了，就悠哉游哉的向郑则道所在的红马客栈走去。 王家大院里，王兴大宴宾朋，摆了二三十桌酒菜，把张四爷他们奉为主宾，菜肴奢华至极，席间吹拉弹唱，歌舞杂耍，弄的极为热闹！张四爷、周先生、钩子兵一干人等，被人轮番敬酒，片刻都不能安闲。这场酒席，一直从中午折腾到天黑，才逐渐散去，张四爷、周先生、钩子兵们常住奉天，东北那地界的人都是酒量极大，但他们喝到此时，仍然都有点微醉了。 孔镖头和一众王家大院的仆人，送张四爷他们回到院中，张四爷大着舌头说道：“麻烦各位！辛苦各位！谢王先生了！实在太丰盛了！” 孔镖头他们满面笑意的客气一番，目送着张四爷他们进院以后，这才离开。 张四爷和周先生互相搀扶着，步伐不稳的走进院子，张四爷一路嚷嚷：“要是天天这样吃喝玩乐，还怎么在周边巡查！走到哪里，就被人请到哪里！又不能发作！怎么办才好啊！” 周先生也苦着脸说道：“哎，咱们人在异乡，比不上奉天能够随心所欲，过了这两天，再好好和王先生说说，看能不能给我们一些方便。” 张四爷和周先生进了内屋，张四爷如同一滩烂泥一样坐在椅子上，用手撑着脑袋，就要睡觉。周先生缓步走到门前，把门关上。 周先生本来也是满脸微醉的样子，门一关上，脸上唰的一变，顿时双眼精光四射，毫无醉态。周先生一回头，只见张四爷也神采奕奕的端坐在椅子上，哪有一丝一毫的醉意。 周先生微微一笑，走到张四爷身边坐下，两人对视一眼，几乎异口同声的说道：“这个王家堡，有古怪！” 周先生说道：“果然不出我们所料，他们根本就不想我们四处巡查，早上拉我们分散出去，应该就是他们的计策。我们装了一天白痴，尽管十分辛苦，但也有所收获。” 张四爷沉声道：“现在收回来的情报如何？” 周先生说道：“这个王家堡，五成的大户商家都和王兴有或多或少的亲戚关系，他们刻意掩饰，绝口不提王家堡的近况，但毕竟人多嘴杂，还是让我们探听到，最近一段时间，有许多外地人，来这里寻找一家客栈。” 张四爷说道：“什么客栈？” 周先生说道：“青云客栈。” 张四爷说道：“王家堡有这家客栈吗？” 周先生说道：“依我看，并没有什么青云客栈，也许只是一个代号，恐怕寻找青云客栈的，都是灰毛虱这样的大盗贼人！” 张四爷笑道：“嘿嘿，我就说灰毛虱怎么会离开山东，到山西王家堡来，果然是有大事发生！江湖上有名的大盗，看来都聚到这里来了！” 周先生说道：“没错，我们有了青云客栈这个线索，再审灰毛虱，就方便了！” 张四爷说道：“事不宜迟，速速把灰毛虱带来！” 周先生点头称是，速速退出房间。 片刻过后，周先生急急推门进来，身后跟着两个钩子兵。那两个钩子兵面如土色，一进门就跪倒在张四爷面前，咚咚咚连连磕头，哭道：“张四爷，都怪我们，灰毛虱，他，他死了！” 张四爷啪的站起，怒道：“废物！你们怎么看着他的？怎么就死了？” 钩子兵哭道：“灰毛虱一天都不吃东西，只是用头巾包着脸面静静坐在屋角，一动不动，下午的时候，还是活着的，能够说话，我们以为他就是这个德行，便没有太在意。刚才周先生来了，揭开头巾，才发现他已经七窍流血而死。张四爷，请你处罚我们！” 张四爷缓缓坐下，紧锁眉头。 周先生低声道：“死的十分蹊跷，口舌干净，不似中毒，这一天除了我们，再没有人进到关押灰毛虱的房间。不排除灰毛虱用了什么法子自杀身亡。” 张四爷哼道：“好手段啊！高明！我们的一举一动，还是在王家大院的掌握之下。周先生，咱们连夜验尸！我到想搞清楚灰毛虱到底怎么死的！” 周先生应了声是，拉起跪在地上的两个钩子兵，出了房间。 张四爷静静坐在屋内，面色一片肃杀。 火小邪晃晃悠悠来到红马客栈跟前，抬头一看，这个红马客栈真是比大道客栈排场了千百倍，灯红酒绿，万分气派。尽管已经入夜良久，仍然车水马龙，人员进进出出，繁忙无比。 火小邪暗哼：“奶奶的，都是有钱人住店的地方。有啥了不起的，没准都是黑心钱。” 火小邪大摇大摆进来红马客栈，一个店小二赶忙上前，客客气气的问道：“这位爷，您是吃饭住店，还是找人？” 火小邪装作大大咧咧的样子，说道：“找人！”说着就要向前走。 店小二赶忙拦住，说道：“这位爷，您可不能这样进去啊，我们红马客栈，可不是寻常的客栈，您要是不说找谁，就这样进去，恐怕小的要挨掌柜骂的啊。不行不行，这位爷请你留步。” 火小邪哦了一声，哼道：“什么狗屁规矩？我找甲三房的郑少爷，这下行了吧。” 店小二一听，哦哦连声，说道：“找甲三房的郑少爷啊，我知道我知道，这边请，这边请。郑少爷吩咐过，今晚有一位贵客要来找他，感情就是您啊，请请！” 火小邪哼了一声，心里骂道：“狗眼看人低，到哪里都是一样！” 店小二毕恭毕敬的将火小邪领至三楼，在一间硕大的厢房门前轻轻敲了敲，说道：“郑少爷，您的客人来了。” 里面郑则道叫了声：“好！太好了！稍等！” 郑则道满面春风的拉开了房门，异常亲切的把火小邪肩膀一搂，笑道：“火兄弟，我等你等的好辛苦！快进来，快进来。” 店小二在一旁陪笑，猴吧吧的看着郑则道，嘀咕着：“郑少爷，客人我给你带来了。” 郑则道从口袋中丢出一块大洋，店小二熟练的接住，更是恨不得捧着郑则道的脚底板乱舔，鞠躬都要脑袋挨到地板上，极为谄媚的说道：“谢郑少爷，谢郑少爷！” 郑则道笑道：“以后记得我这位客人，不要怠慢！我们有事商议，不准任何人来打扰！听到了吗？” 店小二忙道：“是，是，郑少爷放心！放一万个心！” 店小二快步退下，郑则道领着火小邪进了房间。 火小邪本来在心里乱骂这个店小二是个天生做狗的奴才样，可进了这件屋子一看，顿时张口结舌，眼睛都看不过来，赞叹这房间装修的豪华，还以为进了皇宫。 郑则道笑道：“火兄弟，这边坐，这边坐。郭老七，上茶来！” 郑则道把火小邪拉到一张硕大的红木圆桌边坐下，郭老七提着茶壶，像是吃了蜂蜜狗屎一样笑容满面的快步走来，见到火小邪更是如同见到祖宗一样客气。火小邪见郭老七这个样子，也是纳闷，心想今天中午的时候还有一口吃了我的恶劲，怎么一下午就想通了，把我当老子供着啦？ 郭老七给火小邪、郑则道倒上茶，笑道：“大少爷，火少爷，两位慢用，我在一旁候着，你们聊你们的，有事叫我。” 郑则道挥手让郭老七退下，郭老七诺诺连声，退至侧房，不见了踪影。 火小邪看着郭老七的方向，喃喃道：“吃了狗屎吧，他这样子我还真不习惯。” 郑则道笑道：“火兄弟，不管他，咱们聊咱们的。” 郑则道这人不知道是真心还是假意，对火小邪知无不言言无不尽，还拿出张手绘的王家堡地形图，细细密密的和火小邪讲了王家堡地理位置，人文风情，商家布局，街道市井，风水方位，历史由来等等等，几乎把他来王家堡的这十多天所查所见所知无不详细说了一遍。 火小邪听的昏头脑胀，但也佩服这个郑则道短短十多天，竟能把王家堡摸了个底朝天，恨不得比当地人还当地人。 郑则道说的连绵不绝，丝毫没有问火小邪打听到了什么，只是边说边征求火小邪的意见：“火兄弟，你觉得这里有什么线索？” 火小邪当然回答不出来，只好木纳的嗯哼着点头。郑则道并没有丝毫不耐烦，还是说个不停。 郑则道说了半个时辰，终于停下，对火小邪笑道：“火兄弟，这就是我掌握的王家堡的情况，不知对火兄弟有没有用？” 火小邪尴尬道：“啊！有用有用！郑兄弟，您说的实在太详细了，我都不知道该怎么回答你了。” 郑则道笑道：“我现在认为，青云客栈很可能就在王家大院内的某处地方，如果我们没有结果，我可能晚上就要去王家大院一探究竟了！” 火小邪忙道：“可是御风神捕就住在王家大院内，这十分危险！” 郑则道说道：“王家老爷今天大吹大擂，不就是为了告诉我们，御风神捕住在院内吗？要么是欲盖弥彰，要么是考验我们的贼术。俗话说，不入虎穴焉得虎子嘛！” 火小邪说道：“青云客栈在王家大院内，的确合情合理，但我却觉得我们想太多了。你容我再想想？” 郑则道缓缓喝了一口茶，说道：“不妨，不妨，火兄弟，你慢慢想想，看看你能想到什么？” 火小邪心中叹道：“这个郑则道，看来是真心真意的与我合作，现在反而是我亏欠着人家。唉，我是以小人之心度君子之腹了，惭愧！不管如何，我也得说些什么，要不让郑则道把我看扁了。” 火小邪慢慢摸着脸颊，回味了一下郑则道的介绍，沉吟片刻，说道：“郑兄弟，我倒是有一个想法。” 郑则道连忙说道：“火兄弟请讲。” 火小邪笑了笑，说道：“胡说八道，郑兄弟千万不要责怪。” “不会不会，火兄弟随便讲就是。” “从你对王家堡的描述来看，我觉得青云客栈恐怕根本就不在我们视线之内，也就是说，青云青云，并非一定是高处，也可能是地下！” “嗯，对！火兄弟，我也想过这个问题，可是青云客栈若是在地下，这王家堡方圆近万亩，入口又在何处呢？” “郑兄弟，你拿到黑石，是否只得到王家堡青云客栈这一条线索？” “是啊，六月十五，山西王家堡，青云客栈，线索仅此而已。怎么？火兄弟还有其他线索？” “不是，不是，我和你一样，只有这个线索。我现在猛然觉得，青云客栈所在，恐怕就在青云客栈这四个字上面。” 郑则道眼中放光，忙道：“从字上面入手？有趣！但是青云客栈这四个字，无论猜字谜，凑字，组字，同音，还是引申周边的含义，青石？云彩？季节？气候？诗词歌赋？这些好像都没有合适的结果。” 火小邪深深吸了一口气，说道：“是啊，但我目前就是觉得，答案就在青云客栈这四个字上面。呵呵，郑兄弟，我纯粹是凭感觉行事，瞎蒙的，不用当个真。” 郑则道笑道：“火兄弟，我反而觉得你的感觉很对！要么咱们就推敲一下青云客栈这四个字如何？” 火小邪说道：“好！那就有劳郑兄弟开个头。” 郑则道沉思片刻，悠悠道来，火小邪用心听着，两人一来一往，又商议了数个时辰，仍然不得其解。火小邪头昏脑胀，他这个人平时最怕麻烦，没有这个精力天马行空的琢磨，实在支撑不足，便起身告辞。 郑则道看着精神头十足，也没有拦着火小邪，他和郭老七一直将火小邪送到红马客栈门口，这才返回。 火小邪一路昏沉沉的向大道客栈走去，嘴巴里不住念叨着：“青云客栈，青云客栈。”走着走着，脚下不稳，磕拌到一块石头，一个趔趄差点摔倒。火小邪骂骂咧咧，又要前行，脑子里突然火光一现，想起一件事情。 火小邪哎呀一声，暗哼道：“难道是这个道理？”火小邪本想跑回红马客栈告诉郑则道，但是转念一想：“不过我这突发奇想，也说不准，还是明天我自己先看看，确认之后再和郑则道商量吧。” 火小邪想到这里，耸了耸肩，脑子里倒不再昏沉沉的了，于是快步向大道客栈走去。
