Chapter 2 The second alien with wings

The host and guest met each other, and after asking about it, they found out that Chen Yuting woke up in the middle of the night and was about to get up to wash up and go to the back garden to practice kung fu. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow with wings flickering on the wall where the light illuminated.When I saw it for the first time, I was dazzled, but suddenly there was a loud sound, a small knife with a wooden handle was nailed to the table in front of me, and the figure on the wall disappeared for a moment, and I hurriedly chased it out, and there was no trace of the person.At the same time, a dozen or so apprentices from the front yard were also alarmed and chased after them. When they met each other, they said that they had just seen a winged figure who disappeared for a moment. The industry has been chasing down.Then I heard the report from my own person, saying that nothing was lost in the room, I just took off the blue hat flower I was wearing, and there was a piccolo carved obliquely on the wooden handle. .

When I went back to the house, my family asked for the small knife with a wooden handle. I saw that the mark left by the visitor was only seven inches long, and the wooden handle took up half of it. It was very sharp and could be separated when not in use.The handle was burnt into a piccolo, it was not engraved, and there was no name left. It is known that it is a group of the most capable snitches, at least two or more in number.I and the masters of the world only have good feelings and no enemies. The other party made this joke for no reason, left the signal and took away a piece of green hat flower. There must be a reason for it.Originally, it was expected that the other party had committed a major case in the local area, knowing that he knew the government, had many friends and apprentices, and feared that he would be a hindrance, so he came here to warn.Suddenly, a confidant doorman was startled by the letter from the backyard, and came to inquire. When he saw the knife and the flute mark on the handle, he hurriedly told him what he had heard in the day.

To the effect that in the past ten days there have been several burglars in the city one after another, and the owners are all wealthy gentry. The strangest thing is that these two burglars have come and gone without a trace, and none of the owners of the six or seven families have seen his true colors , the two of them not only have guarding martial arts masters, but they are also members of the family. For some reason, they were already alert at the time of the accident, and after the heavy snowfall, there was ice and snow on the roof that was about a foot deep, but no footprints were found.The thieves all appeared suddenly not long after dinner, and before and after, there must have been two shadows of flying men who seemed to have two wings flashing on the wall, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.No matter how many masters there are or how powerful they are, they will appear on the spot if necessary.When it was first stolen, the owner was naturally very angry. While chasing the thief, he checked the lost property and prepared to report it to the authorities.But in a short while, the master must strictly prohibit publicity, even if there are martial artists in the family, even if these martial artists feel that the thief will not wait for the dead of night to attack openly, stealing valuables is not counted, but deliberately showing his appearance, which is too much to deceive others. It made him lose face, and he was angry, so he volunteered to catch the thief, but was persuaded by the master repeatedly.One of the family is a bully, which is even more ridiculous.Because the snitch stole a lot of property, he kept the knife and a note as usual. The owner burned it immediately after seeing it, but he didn't know what to say.On the second day, all the martial masters and thugs who were raised were sent away, and it was wrong to presume that the gold and silver in stock had been known by the visitors, so they brought their own confidantes to pick the most precious gold and put it in a small suitcase, and put it in the back There is no one in the building, but no one is guarding it. When I got up early on the third day, I suddenly disappeared.

One of the martial arts masters used was originally from a bodyguard company, and his skills were quite high. He saw that the master was threatened by the snitches, not only did not dare to speak up, but he also warned the snitches that the amount of gold and silver should be prepared and placed in a place where no one was around. He came to fetch it.Conscious that the cannibal's salary cannot be loyal to others. Seeing the loss of the master, there is nothing he can do. It is said that it is too shameful to go out. The more he thinks about it, the more angry he is. Even if the thief is powerful, and the owner cares about his wealth and life, and refuses to argue with him, he should let us know his whereabouts so that we can be prepared. Otherwise, as he said, there will be endless troubles in the future, thank you all Wealth can't help the enemy's insatiable greed. Stealing a large amount of property is not counted, and the master personally handed it over. How can there be such a reason in the world? We have a good relationship with the people in the world. If the master tells the truth, even if he is no match for him, let us find it. Maybe it would be better if you put on friendship and get back some of the lost property with the loyalty of the world? Even if we are not afraid of shame, the master should also prevent him from being unable to deal with it." The owner was persuaded. , to tell the truth.

It turned out that these two thieves were not only highly capable and elusive, but also knew the master's details and many ulterior secrets.It was written on the note that he had the most ill-gotten wealth, and he hadn't withdrawn all of it at that time, so he had to put the number of gold beads in the back building where there was no one there, and wait for him to collect them himself.The tone was not very vicious, and there were no threatening words, but it made people feel chilled when they thought of what they had done before, and the other party's mysterious and strange, ghost-like actions made them even more timid and flustered, so they had to reluctantly agree and return the favor. It is forbidden to speak up and other words.Although the martial artist was forced by food and clothing, he was raised by a wealthy family to be a falcon and dog, so he has a bit of backbone.After listening to the master, he begged again and again not to leak it. Although he agreed with his mouth, he was angry in his heart and couldn't make it public. Seeing the color, I was embarrassed to eat the master's meal again, so I had to quit.For some reason, several houses that were stolen by him were already in this situation, and none of the owners dared to say anything. Saying farewell, and talking about this behind the back of others, so knowing the origin of this saber, even the martial artist who resigned admired the skills of the two thieves to the extreme.As for the legends outside, it is even more miraculous. The servants of the owner of the family said that the Snitch is like a ghost. No one can figure it out.Although he didn't want to talk about his own experience, he was expected to be ridiculed by the other party, and he suffered a lot, so he was discouraged, and he was willing to go home to farm and make his own bed.In order to practice with that martial artist last night, I came back too late, saw that my master was asleep, and didn't report to him, so I expected that the purpose of the Snitch was the same as that of the martial artist.

After listening to the preface, Chen Yuting knew that the fire could not be contained in the paper. Even though the owner was intimidated by the snitches, he dared not report to the officials. According to this, he was arrogant and reckless, and the rumors would inevitably spread. It must be the government who got the information, or someone else I want to ask myself to help catch the thief, so the other party comes with a warning first.Thinking of my reputation for many years, these two strange thieves actually ignored them, showing off their colors first, demonstrating and intimidating, which is really annoying.But according to the other party's ability, it may be difficult for the master and apprentice to gain the upper hand.It is expected that Zhao and Bi are the most vigilant arresters, and they have many eyes and ears, so they will not be ignorant of the information. Maybe the government ordered him to look for them. Sure enough, Zhao and Bi came here before dawn.Talking to each other, Yuting heard what happened to the owners of the two families last night, it was even more miraculous than what the apprentice said.

The behavior of the thieves is not much different from what the martial master said yesterday that the few houses were stolen, but these two are the most famous dignitaries in the city. There are many servants in the family, and there are many martial artists. Du Aiwu, Neizhong's family was having a family banquet, first a shadow of a trapeze appeared on the wall of the hall, he went to and fro twice, but he just glanced past him, he never thought of making trouble.Afterwards, family members reported that the storeroom had been opened wide and a large amount of precious gold and silver had been lost. All the martial artists were alarmed and immediately lit up lanterns and torches and searched around the house.Because the master's children and grandchildren were young and happy, and they knew a little martial arts, they rushed out one after another, surrounded by everyone, to catch the thief.The old man Feng and a few women and children were still at the table, and there were a few maids standing beside them, who were slapping the table and cursing, saying that servants are useless, that so many people would be stolen soon after dark, and they were busy ordering people to inquire about the lost property. Suddenly, a gust of wind was felt, and a strange man stood in front of him in the shadow of the candle shaking. He raised his hand and nailed it to the table with a cold light, followed by a series of bangs, six or seven of the lanterns and candles hanging outside were knocked out.Just when all the men, women and children in the hall were crying and screaming, no one was there. In the panic and panic, one could only see that the snitch was black from head to toe, and he couldn't see his face. It seemed that there were two wings hanging under his sides. When trembling, the person also stood on one foot, with his upper body forward, like a bird in flight, only a flash, a haha, and the person disappeared.According to the two young children, blacks can fly, and when they turn around, they spread their arms evenly and spread their wings, so that the thick cotton curtain will open without wind and fly out of the door.

Old Feng Weng was overwhelmed with shock, and saw that the cold light was a gleaming knife with a scroll attached to it. After reading it, he burned it at that time. Everyone spread the word, and suddenly someone came to report from the next courtyard, saying that the left neighbor's children's family was also robbed, and a lot of property was lost.Old Feng Weng was shocked when he heard the words, remembered the warning on the note, and hurried away in person in a panic. The two parents had secretly negotiated for a while. The son also suffered the same, so he had to bear the pain and stop thinking.Because I heard that the old housekeeper had discussed with Zhao Sanyuan, he was afraid that the county would be trusted and the news would leak out, and he ordered someone to take a handwritten letter overnight to inform the county magistrate, preferring to admit that he was unlucky and not let Zhang Yang catch the thief. The monster is amazing.

The host and the guest are all well aware of the world's trade, although they feel that the other party is really a few burglars, not a ghost, and they don't know what clever tricks they used to show magic and do it so frighteningly, but their skills are too high to match the enemy.After discussing for a while, because there were several martial masters who were acquainted with the lost owners, Yuting came forward to invite them to inquire. When they mentioned this matter, they all shook their heads and sighed. When they mentioned the high skills of the other party, they had never even heard of it. How could they resist?For example, according to Zhao and Bi's original intention, win him over, put on friendship, say that the lost property cannot be returned, and you can ask him to make a fortune in a distant place, don't make trouble again, and avoid future troubles, so that everyone can eat a bowl of peace and worry less. .Who knows that the other party will not accept the hard and soft, and still can't find his trace, just want to inquire about his whereabouts, make friends with him, and say hello, if he can't be seen, he won't suffer; if he wants to fight with him, he will have to suffer You can't be the first one, either he will drive you in the head and make a joke on the person you invited, making both sides dumbfounded and dumbfounded, or you will suffer a lot and force you to retreat.The two masters in the middle accidentally heard that a few poor fishermen by the Daming Lake suddenly changed their cotton clothes. They became suspicious and paid attention secretly. Some of them even put on their newly bought winter clothes and couldn't ask a single word, but they suffered a lot on the way home and almost died.I didn't tell anyone the details of what happened, but when I got home, I said goodbye to the master, and also declared that I would never eat this good food from now on, and I got up the next day, and no one could keep him.The most strange thing is that before and after the Snitch strikes, there must be one or two black shadows with flanking wings flashing on the wall, sometimes single and sometimes double, not necessarily, occasionally appear at the same time, the same shape, and even the same movements, as if there will be a shadow. The method of avatar, one moment incarnates into two, the speed of action has never been unprecedented.

Zhu Wanwan, a wealthy family in Nanguan, had obtained a close report from his wife beforehand. Thinking of his family's wealth, he feared that he would patronize him, so he secretly guarded against it.I know martial arts, and on the pretext of entertaining guests, I secretly made an appointment with two experts to help and wait day and night.Knowing that the opponent's movement time and strikes are about the same when he comes, he calculated that he needs to show his body in public, and even purposely set his sights on the local wall, only to use his concealed weapons to fight randomly as soon as he shows up, and chase and search in the direction he is going, but it is still useless.Even though the security was tight, the black shadow of the strange man flew across the wall under everyone's eyes. The first hidden weapon was fired, but the snitch didn't even notice it, and only smashed a few glass tiles.It was only later that I realized that the Snitch had flown past the window, and naturally lost a lot of property. I was also warned and agreed to come back at the same time the next night.The owner of this family is rather stubborn. Seeing that he was deceiving others too much, he got really angry and decided to fight. After reading the flying knife leaving a message, he immediately shouted, saying: "The gold and silver you want are ready-made, and they will be placed on the table tomorrow as promised." If you have the ability, just take it away." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the laughter on the east roof, and went there in a hurry, and there was laughter outside the back wall of the west corner. The reporter said that the snitch had wings and had already flown away.Hate to the point of desperation, one side is full of nets, planning an ambush, when the time comes, gold and silver will be placed on the table in the hall, and there will be special guards everywhere from the house to the house, and there will be ambushes in every way out. Even if he was born with two wings, he would die if he came. There is absolutely no reason why he would dare to go away like yesterday under the eyes of everyone.

Seeing that the appointed time was coming, when he was gearing up, nervous, and ready to catch the thief, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in black with two bird-like wings falling from the room, and the crowd naturally rushed forward. Captured, just tied up, about to be sent to the official, suddenly remembered that the flying thief wore a black cloth on his head, his facial features were all covered, how could he still move freely?Suspicious in my heart, I took off the hood and saw that it was the famous martial artist who was helping the Snitch last night. He knew something was wrong, followed by a haha, a black shadow flashed on the wall, and everyone was extremely angry , Gritting teeth and shouting to chase out, I saw a big black bird soaring into the sky, and disappeared in the dark sky and dark clouds in a blink of an eye.When he returned to the hall, he saw that all the gold and silver on the table had been taken away. Beforehand, I had prevented the Snitch from diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and then saw that the few people who couldn't defend themselves were all knocked down by the Snitch, unable to move. The two or three thousand taels of gold and silver were so heavy that there was not even a single bit of them left behind. A steel knife, a piece of paper.He was in a state of rage, unable to do anything, and the person who was knocked down did not know how to rescue him, when suddenly there was another commotion outside.It turned out that the black clothes worn by the warrior who was defeated just now were left by the burglars. Later, the gang got involved and helped the man to the side to recuperate. Talking about strange clothes, saying that the wings of the Snitch are fake, suddenly felt a numbness in the body, and the person could not move, and then there was a black shadow passing by, the black clothes were caught immediately, and at the same time, each person on the back After being hit by a palm, he just regained consciousness, and exclaimed, suddenly saw a big bird soaring into the sky from the side where the shadow had just gone.When everyone rushed out one after another, there was another exclamation in the hall, and some people rushed back to look again. A black shadow flashed by the window like a positive electricity, and the four people who were knocked down first woke up, saying: "Just now Everyone went to catch the thief in the courtyard, and suddenly felt a black shadow flashing in front of them, and the waist went numb, and people lost consciousness. Only one person finally passed out, as if he saw a little black man with wings holding a big long sack The hood slammed onto the pile of gold and silver, panicked in his heart, and just as he yelled halfway, he stretched out his hand to grab him, but he passed out. When the people chased him out for the second time, his consciousness had almost recovered, but his eyes were hard to open. Twist the soft tendons on his body, slap his palm, and just opened his eyes, a black shadow came out through the window, and disappeared in a flash. When he called someone, another black shadow flashed by, and he didn't know the shadow Is it one or two, how many are there?" When everyone saw this, they were naturally panic-stricken and timid.The master is also a straightforward man, after thinking about it, he went up the steps and raised his hand towards the empty hand, and said loudly: "I have studied martial arts for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a skill as my friend. It’s just that friends are human or weird, one or two, how many people there are, and whether they have magic spells, please tell us, how about embarrassing us?” As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed in the corner of the main room Said: "How can a person have two shadows? I can fly myself. What kind of monster is it? I still keep this thing to save people. I can't miss the trick. But when I go to the person who withdraws money, how much I take is determined by him." It depends on the magnitude of the crime and the amount of ill-gotten gains. If you hadn't spoken out loud yesterday, you wouldn't come here again. Since you admit defeat and you are relatively bachelor, the gold and silver you took tonight will be returned temporarily. , you send someone to pick it up, forgive me for not sending it back to the original place." The master is really discerning. When he heard the words from the roof, he stopped the people under his command. One of them didn't order him to come forward. After hearing it, he became angry and said with a smile: "Although I have some property, I am not a greedy official. , and the ill-gotten wealth that is not obtained by coincidence, it is left over from the ancestors is also obtained through business and farming. If you want to use it, friend, just take it, but it is rare for a stranger like you to see it. We have absolutely no evil intentions. Please come down and share with us. How about drinking two cups and enjoying the kindness of the landlord?" The man smiled and replied: "To be honest, if you didn't have any serious evil yourself, don't say that the second time you take it, you won't return it to you. The gold and silver hidden in your home At least half of the valuable jewelry should be taken away, how can it be so cheap! Do you know how your ancestors got those properties? You are the same person, you sit back and enjoy what you have, and you are domineering. In this cold weather, many people outside are ruined. It is an unjust thing in the world if you can’t even wear a piece of clothing. Although you are a bold and bachelor, you are not a friend of our kind. Thank you for your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, or you will understand one day, we will Make friends again." When talking, the master was full of curiosity, and waved his hand to stop the people around him from coming forward, so as not to be overwhelmed, and prepared to rush into the courtyard, and then looked up to the corner of the room to see how many people were there and what their appearance was , was answering casually, may I ask the origin of the name, and answered in the corner of the room: "My true face will never be revealed to people's eyes for the time being. Name, just call me Ying Wushuang." At the end of the sentence, the host heard that the person's voice was special, as if it had a female voice, which was different from what he had heard before, and he wanted to leave, saying: "My friend is so tall. Why don't you allow me to see you?" As he spoke, the man had strode toward the courtyard, and just as he turned around to go up to the room, he caught a glimpse of a black cloud shooting obliquely towards the opposite dark cloud like an arrow in the shadow of the light below. It was a big bird, and there was no sound below.Under everyone's eyes, the black-clothed strange man not only had two bird-like wings under his waist, but he could also take shape and fly away.Although the other party said that he could not spell, no one would believe it.So the name of Yi Renying Wushuang spread.Only arresting people from the Gongmen for Zhao and Bi, the owner of the owner has scruples. In addition, there are many people who know more than the owner, but these are poor people. He refused to disclose it, so such a shrewd and capable old famous arrester did not know the news from the family members of the two owners last night.After this, all the people in the room were a little timid, thinking that it doesn't matter how powerful they are, there seems to be some evil method, how can the strange snitch who can clone himself and transform into a big bird catch him? Among them, Chen Yuting is the most stable and intelligent person. When he came up, he was joked by the other party. He lost an adult. He usually has a good reputation. He was secretly angry. Waiting for behavior is deceiving too much.Originally I planned to keep my face for the time being, relying on my many years of affection and the ability of many mentors and apprentices, no matter what, I will capture the thief and thief Yi Renying Wushuang and get rid of it.And I heard people talk about the other party's many acts of righteousness, all the looted property was distributed to the poor, or given to the poor as capital, thinking that it will be used to make a living in the coming spring, saving many people, and there are all kinds of miracles. Bigger birds are shaped like mountain eagles. This kind of thing can only be seen on the Tianshan Road. Although it is much larger than ordinary eagles and smaller than humans, there are many doubts in it. Reminiscing again, there was a legendary swordsman in Jianghu in the past, nicknamed Tianshan Eagle, who was also dressed in black, with a piece of black silk in the shape of a bird's wing hanging on his sides, and he could fly down a thousand-foot cliff. When confronting the enemy, it is in the air with its wings spread. Although it cannot really be like a bird, it can also turn around and fly in the air for several rounds before falling.This person has been a hero in the northwestern provinces and has enjoyed a high reputation for many years, but no one has ever seen the truth about him on Mount Lu, he always wears a mask, and he doesn't know if he is a man or a woman.He disappeared suddenly this year, and since then no one has seen her again, and no one has heard of it for twenty years.If this person is born for the second time, I am already a first-class swordsman. The senior swordsmen in Wudang and Dongting who lived in seclusion for many years in the past are all his friends. Only a few male and female swordsmen have seen his true face, but for some reason, they never reveal it to the outside world.Hugh said that his master and disciples are not his opponents, and even these famous people who are rising up in the Jianghu would not dare to confront him head-on. The two sides have never met before, so they said that the government wants to ask me to help catch the thief. I am also considered a local gentleman, and I am not an official, so it is still uncertain whether I will agree.The people who come to invite come here to demonstrate before they come to the door. A famous person like me, with great influence, will never give up.Maybe he was unwilling to make a move at first, even if he did, he just perfunctory the officials' feelings and refused to help with all his strength, but he refused to give up after being provoked by him, and he would fight to the end, which would cause him a lot of harm.Not really capable, extremely confident, never dare to act like this.Seeing that he only sends one signal, click until the end, he clearly knows that although my family is rich, we are not evil people, although we usually deal with people in the Jianghu, but are willing to give to the poor, and have never done anything unspeakable in life, that is, making friends with officials , also because of his good reputation, when his relatives and friends were imprisoned, or innocent people were imprisoned, he responded immediately and took care of them conveniently. Those who are rich and unkind are different, so they refuse to take care of them, and only give a little warning.If you don't know the fun, it's hard to say whether things are good or bad. As expected, it was not bad, and it was not shameful to lose at the hands of this person.With his seniority and strangeness, he fears that I will meddle in other people's business, so he will be a male eagle dog and say hello first, so I can afford it.My wealth and life are here, and I have been famous for many years. Why bother to ruin it for others, why not take the opportunity to step down, and say that this stranger is really brilliant, and his chivalrous behavior is admirable. Before Zhao and Bi met each other and made no statement, they made this joke first, but this kind of righteous chivalrous person would never make an enemy of him, he would rather bow down and consider himself ashamed, so that Zhao and Bi could invite another Gao Ming Safer.Fortunately, the two sides have not formally confronted each other. Although I lost a piece of hat, with my master and apprentice's usual prestige and high skills, how can I expect this kind of thing to happen, there is an accident, and there are excuses.This expression of generosity and tolerance not only avoids making such a strong enemy, but also saves a lot of trouble: according to my usual temperament and ability, people will never believe that I am a really timid and timid enemy. The expected alien Tianshan Ying will never be captured and punished by the official, otherwise I have something to say. The decision was made, it was getting dark, many people came here because of the trust of all parties, because it is usually hospitable and there are many apprentices, the house is full of guests since noon, Zhao and Bi arrested and even rode two horses Kuaima went out to make appointments with people, inquired about news, went back and forth several times, and just arrived.Chen Yuting was scheming, so he didn't say anything first, but just listened carefully, and asked a few questions when he encountered something strange or urgent, and he was always noncommittal.While telling the kitchen to prepare more food and wine, as in the past, all the guests who came were reserved for dinner.Everyone knows that he has been famous for many years, he has high martial arts skills, and has many friends. He was teased and threatened for no reason. I can't swallow this bad breath, I think he is old and prudent, he will fight with a strong enemy just like that year, he will make a move after making a plan, and he will have something to say after dinner in such a situation. Unexpectedly, after sitting at the table, he just tried to persuade the guests courteously, and didn't mention a word of the article in the topic. When everyone was full of wine and food, and was about to finish eating, he began to say what he had just thought: "Since the discovery of the black shadow before dawn , and took the hat flower away, feeling extremely angry in his heart, feeling that this friend had never lived before, and he simply thought I was a rich man. Instead of taking any money, he just took a piece of green cap flower from the top of the cap I often wear, and showed himself face to face, leaving a knife as a warning. Technique. Although I am not talented, I have been traveling in Jianghu since I was twenty years old. I have met people of high ability, and many of them are still friends. Because I have good friends in my life, I am only a famous person, except for a few people who have long since retired and are not willing to show it. The deeds, such as the old iron flute Qi, the unnamed flying man Tianshan Ying and the like, have almost met once or twice, even the old men and women swordsmen in Xiangjiang Dongting who never see outsiders as usual, because I am loyal and sincere. I went thousands of miles to visit, and met once. Besides, how many times can I have in my life, and I have never done a single sinful thing in my life. Much smarter, helpless people fight for one breath, even if they are no match for him, they have to be convinced to lose, so I endure it, even if my friends and disciples refuse to laugh at me, I can't help myself. "But I have lived a few years longer, and I have always refused to be reckless in doing things. It just so happened that Zhao and Bi, the two team leaders, came here to look for me. Anyway, if you want to fight him in the end, it is not a plan to send your old life away. The two team leaders are supposed to come back, and after hearing what they have learned from today's interview, they will invite all friends to find him for an argument tomorrow, unless this person goes away and flies away for the time being. If you can't find him, since you are in the provincial capital of Jinan, there is no reason why you won't see him. Until just now, two friends came to talk about what this gentleman has done. The gentry, rich and rich, which family is not full of concubines? No matter whether the owner has martial arts fighters or not, and how much property he takes, he is as if he has entered the land of no one, and he takes it lightly and leaves. I don’t know yet. It’s only for a short while, and it’s only for a moment before people fall asleep. Some owners are still coerced by him and dare not speak out, but I’ve never heard of him doing anything else. The more crowded the place The more he wants to appear, all he takes is ready-made gold and silver, and when he gets it, he disposes of it and the poor. Hearing from the poor people who have benefited from him, he himself does not squander at all. "Zhao and Bi have so many eyes and ears. As long as they give an order, don't talk about friends from outside the world. It's just a stranger passing by. As long as there is something to ask for him, he can find out at that time. He went out to visit all day. Friends along the way asked all the questions, and they all said that no matter whether teahouses, hotels, theaters, or brothels, there was not a single suspicious-looking stranger coming and going in the past two months. According to the temper of ordinary friends who eat empty-handed meals, money is easy and well spent It's also fast, the higher the ability, the looser the hand, although there are some in it who claim to steal the rich and help the poor, and show that he is a knight and righteous man, but he still enjoys spending money like water, never begrudges, relying on wealth to make big deals, a lot of enjoyment Most of the things are laymen. Hugh said that the officials and the two team leaders can see it in the eyes of those brothers and friends. Even the guys in teahouses, hotels and even brothels can be seen by people with a little discernment. Especially this It's easy to find out that people who have money like nineteen bones are light-headed, and the words of wine and sex are inevitable. Besides, although the news of this friend's troubles in the provincial capital only started to spread in the past two or three days, there is nothing wrong with it. Because of his clever tactics, the people he is looking for are either rich and unkind local tyrants or bullies, or the money is obtained by committing crimes. The family of dignitaries, officials and gentlemen with unknown origins, nineteenth of them have their secrets. Fang Shi started to act very cleverly when he got the handle. The victim just gritted his teeth and dared not report to the officials. It is said that even the poor peasants and fishermen by the Daming Lake have winter grains and cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. Just imagine, how many people did he save? "According to my estimate, it took at least two or three months for this gentleman to help the poor. The eight or nine houses that were stolen were definitely not the only ones we know. We and the two team leaders have been here for many years. Even if we are not old and mature, we are finally It's a local snake. Just talking about my three old brothers, which kind of people don't know each other? With so many eyes and ears, they have been making trouble in this provincial capital for two or three months. It wasn't Zhao's old team leader who lost his supervisor yesterday, this friend I don't want me to meddle in other people's business and come here to warn, just now the two friends came here without trust, and even my master and apprentice didn't know about it, isn't it strange? From what I have observed and heard, since the self-proclaimed Ying Wushuang, the number of people is fixed Not many, this man was alone, and made big fortunes one after another in the provincial capital. Although not all of the income was used to help the poor, there was no trace of him in the place of wine, food, prosperity and pleasure. It can be seen that self-esteem must be undervalued. False knights and righteous men are generous to others and gain the reputation of being chivalrous, but in fact they are just small favors and fame. Lustful, they will squander the money they get for nothing, enjoy it as much as they can, and at the same time be arrogant, arrogant, and want to become famous, the bigger the trouble, the better, but they are afraid of causing public anger, so they collude with the same party, flaunt each other, and take care of each other. Doing everything, just taking out 20-30% or 12% of the ill-gotten gains on the head of the moment to help a few down-and-out bachelors, boring literati, or comrades who have lost their style, and they praise each other and call themselves heroes. I really don't want to mention shoes with him. There are no more than two people in this family, and they don't even reveal their names. They have done many great things and saved many people. It is really admirable. "To tell you the truth, the two famines since last year were not trivial. At first I thought the disasters were serious, and there would be many casualties and escapes. The first time subsided after less than three months. Although the second insect disaster was not as severe as the flood disaster, because It was scattered all over the place, and it happened suddenly. Half of the counties in Shandong and Hunan provinces had no harvest. It was more troublesome. No one thought that it would be over in just over two months. Not only did it subside, but the victims also planted autumn crops , there are very few people who fled. According to the two old long-term workers I used, they had never heard of it, but they couldn't think of any reason. The most ridiculous thing is that the government is shameless, and there is a famine in the local area. No effort was made to provide relief. Last year's floods were only caused by the construction of embankments and work-for-work relief. Enthusiastic gentry and businessmen provided good news, and a lot of manpower was spent. After all, half of the country's money was not wasted, and the other half was still The big and small officials who did river work cheaply, together with the local government, have not done anything outstanding. This year’s locust plague is even more a joke. The nerd, somehow he was able to inquire so clearly, he actually wrote a secret letter to the mastermind of the plot of colluding and preparing to cheat in detail, warning him sternly that if he doesn't restrain himself, he will fly to play immediately, That's why I was intimidated and didn't dare to embezzle it. In this way, because of the incompetence of the government and poor management, it was not because of some enthusiastic gentlemen from other counties who even made a report and provided assistance. victimized. "Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and I don't need to worry about it. I heard that they play the season, and first attribute the famine subsidence and the few escapes to the emperor's deep benevolence, which inspired the heart of heaven, and then boasted. He took the opportunity to report a lot of credit for his hard work, saying that it was his contribution, but it was actually his relatives. This is the usual article in the officialdom not to mention him, and there are two things in it that make people even more angry. First, this The two famines did not lead to major disasters. In the eyes of our discerning people, there are actually many reasons, many of which are still unclear. He said that the officials in this province are all very capable, and because of the good governance of the people, there are many people Covering Tibet will cause disasters and not famines, and famines will not be big. In fact, under the mutual inspiration of good people and righteous people, and the help of light and dark, the poor people who have no food and clothing rely on the temporary relief of others to break through all kinds of difficulties. He didn't even see the shadow of the scene. The houses, livestock and only worn-out clothes were submerged by the yellow current, collapsed and damaged, and most of them were left naked. Where did they come from? This is already ridiculous! The most hateful thing is that I heard all kinds of rumors from the people that the two famines survived the two disasters because of the generosity of a few chivalrous, shrewd and capable unknown wealthy businessmen from the northwest. There are sub-colons in all his provinces, and they buy food everywhere and send it in large quantities. The public records are still on the way, and he has already started to release relief here. For the sake of the disaster area, he also advises the gentry, businessmen, wealthy households and famous and capable people from all over the place at any time People help to do things separately. Among the victims of the disaster, they select countless people who are eager for justice, understand things, and are able to work hard. They take his silver and rice, and do things according to his instructions, so that those who have money will contribute money, and those who have no money will contribute money. Contribute, people do their best, and the money is not in vain. Just giving relief is not counted. In addition, we can think of various methods anytime and anywhere so that the victims of disasters everywhere can live in peace in the future. , Waiting for others to help him. When others came up to save him, he gradually turned into self-help. It was easy for everyone to do everything, and everything was effective. Even the rich families in various places were moved to barely survive. Although not many people died, It is a great deal for these poor people who have no savings to save the lives of their families. After the two major disasters, the cold weather this year, and the spring wheat being frozen to death in the next year, it is clear that another year of famine is coming.日消寒赏雪、饮酒赋诗，哪知老百姓的心痛！忽然来这一两位异人做此极大义举，看那意思，分明是想将济南府一带凡是极穷人家都打算在明年灾荒以前先作准备，一路周济过去。此举人数虽然不少，领头动手的决不会多，定和去年一样，领头的共只七个富商，打扮得土头土脑，心思细密，人却高明已极。看是七人，实则到处都是他的帮手，能成这样大功便由于此。他竟当人家奸细反叛，意欲擒来拷问，疑心生暗鬼，闹了好久才罢。 “不怕诸位笑话，我虽好武好交，也喜周济穷苦，实在还是不免自私。去年水灾我虽捐了几千银子，叫我变卖产业，便我心愿，家里人也必拦阻。我又是从小到老坐享现成，照说他来拿我几个，如其明做，我固双手奉上。就是暗取，我虽丢人，也非不合情理。他连我这样有钱人均未真个照顾，可见所取都是不义之财，转手又是用来周济苦人，真个天公地道，没得话说。他的所言所行真有好些俱都合我心意，你如不信，我因今年冬天难过，早令我那两家大米行将米价压住，不许涨价。为防同行忌恨，米价照常，只是升斗小民都是暗用大斗加三卖出。另外命我几个徒弟日常带了粮票随时查访，只是真个穷苦过不去的人立时暗中周济，从落雪第二天起已有半个多月，放出去的粮食连粗带细大约也有二三百担，俱都有账可查。不过这类事我向不使人知道罢了。方才越想越疑心，觉着此公行事与那七位民间纷纷传说欢呼，用尽心思寻不到他踪迹，后来自己故意现身游湖欢宴，免却官府疑心，方始离去的七位义侠富商仿佛大同小异，只是文武之分，就非一路人物，也极可敬可佩。这样异人奇士，我便跌倒在他手里均所心愿。虽然现在不知他的底细来历，还拿不准是否所料那位隐名大侠，就以今日所闻而论，像他这样真是千万老百姓的好朋友，我也不应对他生出敌意。 “我们话就说到这里，外面不可传说。二位班头原是多年好友，当知我的为人决不怕事，也不会对不起朋友。对于此事，非但我一人敬谢不敏，便你二位在对方没有真个侵犯你们本官，专和那些为富不仁的人作对的当儿，乐得民不举，官不究，少管闲事为妙。像你们平日为向本官夸口，或是上面追逼太紧，随便寻上一个黑道上的小兄弟去应点、代顶官司之事更是万做不得。不怕二位老兄多心，你们吃了公门的饭，不得不做昧心的事。像你二位平日那样几面讨好、避重就轻、专讲敷衍取巧的作法，比较别的公门中人已较高明。近年听我的劝，仗着班房中人都是你们徒子徒孙，不许他们虐待犯人，专吃肥肉、不要骨头的方法，结果钱财照样到手。在那些有钱的犯人心甘情愿之下，反倒多得，无形中少造许多的孽，无缘无故还决不至于吃亏受害，被仇家暗算报复。如其贪功讨好，想和此人作对，出了乱子就是不轻。我从来没有这样口直心快，如非多年交情也不会这等说法。我是甘拜下风，除非发现此公也和那些假借劫富济贫为由、好名自肥，另外还有恶迹的人相同，他便真个鬼怪，我拼老命不要也必斗他一斗，否则我是不会把他当成敌人的了。”
