Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Laughter Outside the Window of the Chamber of Secrets

Even if I look outside, there are no figures, only the swaying laughter, and I have already gone far from the front of the bamboo forest, at least a dozen feet away.Although in the middle of winter, the bamboo leaves have all fallen and there are only some snow-covered branches left, but the rows are quite dense, and the narrowest place must be passed sideways. The ice and snow on the ground are even thicker. No matter how fast the legs are, it is not easy to pass.Hearing the sound, he chased it out immediately, he was so close to the window, he went so far away, there was no trace of footprints on the snow, he knew he couldn't make it.Looking at each other in amazement, another strange bird flew into the air behind the small slope more than ten feet apart on the other side of the bamboo forest.This time it was different from just now, as soon as he appeared, he came face to face with a gust of wind, and he circled around the second arrester's head before he began to demonstrate.The two eyes shot down, and the second arrester roared angrily twice, Fang Shi turned his head, and shot through the clouds towards the provincial capital like an arrow, without a trace.

In the first flight, although the second arrester was an expert in handling cases with a long history of enemies, he saw that the big bird was black and bright, its eyes were like lightning, and its wings were empty. The place it passed was full of forests and bamboo branches. Fanning, Cong Cong 琤琤 fell like rain, at that time there was a gust of wind, fierce and vicious, it was amazing, I felt my eyes went dark, and two golden lights shot into my eyes, the secret path was not good, I couldn't help feeling chill and timid, waiting to go When the door retreated, the eagle turned its wings and flew up in the middle of flying a few feet away from the head. From then on, it flew two or three feet high, and did not come down again. It only circled twice above the head and flew north. , I realized that it was a prank, and I wanted to demonstrate and intimidate, but I was taken aback.Thinking to myself, how could such a monster-like snitch be an opponent, I couldn't help but feel very discouraged, looked at each other in blank dismay, and kept silent.Later, it was Zhao Sanyuan who felt it was unseemly to be so panic-stricken, looked sideways, and saw that none of the people in the room looked out, as if nothing had happened, although he hated the poison, but knew that being tough would only bring humiliation to himself, it would be useless and harmful, so he had to turn around and go back. He forced a smile and said: "It's not that there are no good people in the Gongmen. Based on my brother's usual behavior, the local people will not know. Why are these two strangers unwilling to teach us face to face? Could it be that we are his enemies?"

When he was speaking, Yu Fuye had already stepped forward, his eyes were everywhere, the people in the hall had already left halfway, and the father and son, three intoxicated people, were also helped away by the neighbors at the next table, and they were about to go out, everyone seemed to be full and wanted to get up , Fang wanted to speak, when Yu Fu said in a low voice: "I know the intentions of the two squad leaders, how about letting me tell you when you are young?" Small, mostly leave without saying goodbye.The ones who walked out first didn't count, those who left later just nodded their heads and said goodbye, they didn't even say a single false word about the banquet, they turned around and left, as if such people had changed their temper and were no longer bullied. Knowing that these villagers were encouraged by the snitches, they are no longer afraid of any lawsuits, according to the old rules of bullying the weak but not the strong, and fearing more than less, they can only bear their anger for the time being, but fortunately the local natives of the other party will not be afraid of anything. escape.Yu Fu, who has finally been benefited by himself, will not keep his mouth shut, and once let it out again.There was another Ding Sanjia who hadn't seen him yet, he was just an eyes and ears, so it's better to ask and talk about it, so he pretended to be friendly to the end, and followed everyone to perfunctory each other, expressing a few words of goodwill.When the people dispersed separately, Fang wanted to pull Yu Fu into the back room to cheat and frighten him, and to inquire about the facts. Yu Fu had already said, "You two leaders don't need to be like this. I haven't received any benefits from others, let alone He will deceive friends for many years. But this strange man is really admirable. Everything he does is just right. As long as the two leaders have no other thoughts, he will never hurt you. Even talking and laughing loudly at this time No problem. Otherwise, we would be three feet deep into the ground. No matter how secret we hide, we still can't hide it from him. Not to mention anything else, it's the first time I've seen it in terms of ability. said."

The second arrester was shocked when he heard the words, and knew that what he said was true, after a little thought, it was much cheaper to pretend to be kind, so he said what he had planned in advance.After hearing this, Yu Fu replied with a smile: "The two team leaders can do this, which shows their brilliance. He also said that although there are insufficient food and clothing and complaints everywhere, he wants to reform everything so that all people in the world can enjoy happiness, but it has not yet come. Timing, at least it will take hundreds of years without the emperor and old man, and the people will understand before they can succeed. It's just that there are too few people like him, and our country has too many adults. If there is no timing, only a few or two A person's ability and mind can never be successful. He can only do a little bit, save one person, and then talk about it. In this way, although he is very capable, he can perform tricks that are true and false at that time. It is not because of the help of many ordinary people. His friends and relatives are everywhere, and he can't even do this to save a person.

"Having said that, this strange man has been an orphan since he was a child, and he came from a poor background. He is his enemy to corrupt officials, local tyrants and bullies, and even the people in your family. He is equally hostile to his minions, eagles and dogs. If you don't make a move, if you want to have any evil thoughts against him, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky. Just keep saying that he is divided into two parts, changes and flies, unpredictable, and unpredictable actions are all tricks he specializes in dealing with the enemy, which is not true But since he came to this town to help a large number of poor people, and to make everyone safe in the next half a month, I have heard and seen many miraculous and amazing things several times, none of which seem fake. The real person doesn't show his face, it's really hard to test him. We have been friends for many years, and we don't tell lies. With your reputation and ability for many years, who doesn't know, how dare you belittle? But it is still a difficult problem to be an enemy of this person. And the people who received his relief were all the same as me. No one knew the details of his background, maybe not as many as I did. Although they received relief and asked about the source of food and clothing, they all had real people and facts. Your natal family has no suspicious appearance on the surface. If you really want to find out the root cause, there will be trouble immediately. If you want to inquire about it, all the poor people will be helped by him wherever you go, and those who can get by will be touched. Everyone has their own answers. The method, but the intention is the same, don’t even think about asking a single word. He himself is in the gourd, so where do we start? It’s impossible to arrest all the poor people in Jinan Prefecture for interrogation. An accident, or even a drastic change, who can bear it?

"In my opinion, since the people who donate the money are voluntary, the people will not raise their officials, and no one will be happy to pretend to be confused and ignore it. It is better than anything else. If you really want to make friends, listen to him, unless the two No matter how nice your words are, even if you are kind-hearted, and you are the minions of the rich and powerful in the government, you are at odds with the common people, so you can only say good things if you have good intentions. Nothing good happens. Accidentally, goodness discovers that it is easy to meet, or it is natural to help the suffering people and save them from disasters in the face of relatives, friends and neighbors, but this is not doing good intentions, entrusted by others He also has a good name and heart, and wants to pretend to be a good person. One or two good things have nothing to do with the general situation and are of little use. He is not like those heroes in the storytelling. Can't stand the three invitations and four hires of the rich and the rich, and the hypocrisy. Under the politeness and compliments of money, he was originally a hero who was a chivalrous hero who dedicated himself to fighting injustice on behalf of the people. In the end, the injustice was not resolved, and few people were rescued. Instead, he became the eagle dog of a wealthy family and the minion of the official family. Isn't it a big joke?

"I'm afraid to think about things. As long as you are careful about unreasonable things, use the facts before and after to testify. If it is unreasonable, no matter how gaudy it is, people with a discerning eye will see through it at a glance. A stranger like him, since he will never be used by the rich and powerful. Even more unwilling to be respected by these people, how can he still be willing to make friends? He himself once admitted that what he was doing was a thief's business, but because he did not have the financial means to help many people, all the silver and rice to help the poor and poor natives were given to others. He is generous, I never need him a penny, so I live very hard on food and clothing on weekdays. The most rare thing is that in order to save too many people, one misconduct, a little less careful, not only the person who paid the money is a deadly enemy, he refuses to rest with him, and the uniform does not give up. If you live, you will attack in groups, causing a lot of trouble and danger, and those who are being donated will also suffer. Since the flood rescue last year, he has relied on his vigilance, carefulness, ingenious methods, and changes at any time according to the person. Until now Nothing happened. But the many people who gave the money first endured the pain and held grudges, and when they were his enemies, they were soon convinced and convinced, and some were even influenced, and turned to help each other, and they succeeded.

"This time, it's just that he and a few friends took the lead in raising relief on the spot in the disaster-stricken areas of Shandong and Henan provinces, while looking for rich families and smart and capable poor people who were touched by him to be his helpers, and then let those dignified gentlemen come forward Kamijou Chen, he used surveillance in secret, helped with all his strength, gave ideas on his behalf, and managed to tide over the difficulties. At that time, because the disaster in the capital of Jinan Province was relatively light, and the place was relatively rich, he naturally did not want to cause more trouble if he could not do it. Waiting for this year's insect disaster In the past, followed by this heavy snowfall, he was about to leave. He saw that the people's life was getting worse, and the rich and rich in the government were still oppressing and chasing them. He didn't show any pity. He would die and flee without waiting for the spring famine next year. In the second catastrophe, under his ingenious tactics of persuasion and coercion, and making the other party dare not speak up, almost all the people with a little wealth contributed money. Volunteering and adding a lot of manpower, only the provincial capital is the richest and richest gentry. Because of various scruples beforehand, the method was never thought out, and people were still alive in the first half of the year, so they didn't start it, so they let it go. Seeing that many poor people have no clothes and no food Compared with those disaster victims in other prefectures and counties, it was even more sad. Not only was it cheaper for so many rich and extravagant families, but I couldn't bear it, so I stayed alone, and I made preparations three or two months ago, because The pre-investigation has already been known, and the skills are very high. Since last month, these wealthy families have been taken care of one after another at intervals of at least two days.

"His method is different. There are several levels. For those who are usually good-hearted and understandable and can be persuaded, they mostly visit and give good advice. Unless the other party refuses to listen, he will never make a move easily. When he starts to fight Accurate, hot and fair, it all depends on how the other person is. The more sensible, the more lenient he is to that person out of voluntary. Otherwise, it will gradually worsen. Seventy-eight out of ten of the money will be taken away. It is not uncommon for him to keep it for him if he can't finish it at that time. It is not unusual for him to use it at any time. It is not unusual to exploit the land obtained by exploiting the peasants by exploiting the money at that time. According to what he said, he will use various methods Come forward to support those suffering people who can't even breathe, and this kind of people have hidden secrets in their fortunes, and they will be caught first when they come up, how dare they be stubborn?

"Fighting is a decisive fight, and he is not afraid no matter how high his skills are. He even said to his face that if he is not convinced, he might as well invite someone to fight with him. Make a contract and the winner will be the strongest. The opponent naturally hates him to the bone, and the handle is pinched again. Don't dare to make a fuss, it's rare to be willing to make a contract for a fight, nothing could be better, at that time he felt powerless, and a few days later he also promised that under the circumstances of wealth and peace, he would definitely be able to hire an expert, and he would be able to do it with one move It's such a cheap thing to preserve the family property, get back the blame, kill him, and avenge his hatred. There are really a few wealthy, powerful, and well-known, vicious, and clever helpers who can think of any tricks. It’s a good thing, this contract suffered more than Dou, the result was not a disastrous defeat on the spot, all of them were knocked down, and even the helpers they invited were frightened in advance and refused to show up. Xianjianxia is a first-class person, except to listen to his orders, there is nothing to say, even if he admits defeat temporarily, there is still some discussion. As long as he pleads bitterly, he will change from evil to righteousness, and no longer oppress the kind and take advantage of others. Unwilling to give up, all of them are extremely bad, you can't get the handle back in your hands, your life is in your breath, it all depends on the other party's will, if you don't report to the official, you won't hurt others, if there is a slight disturbance, if you do something, you will be killed or injured The culprit is certainly a snap of the fingers, and one who unfortunately loses his reputation and loses his family and property.

"The advantages and disadvantages have been explained by the other party, and they are all tested. The opponent is so flying and changing, and his appearance is erratic. Every time he comes, it is one person. Somehow, it turns into two or a strange bird in the blink of an eye. , just flew away and suddenly reappeared, this kind of strange person not only surrendered to the master, but also frightened the many people around him who had seen it, and none of them dared to spread it outside. After nearly two or three months of trouble, the poor people in the suburbs may not all have received his alms, and the poor people regard him as a god and benefactor, respect, love and appreciate him, and they all listen to his instructions beforehand. Ruyi, who didn't know his details at first, only knew to do what he said, even if he was close relatives and friends, the other party only had contacts with officials and gentry, and he would never confide a word, even if he said it, he couldn't tell why. How can you interview him? Can you tell? He is alone, dedicated to helping the poor and helping others earn a living. He refuses to say his name, and his appearance changes at any time. He is single and double, which is unpredictable. Now he is preparing to go to a remote area All the way to the past, he returned to his hometown as soon as the matter was over. "Recently, the reputation of the people has grown. Many people know that last year's flood was quelled by him and a few comrades who took the lead. They are more grateful to Dade, but they all abide by his precepts. Everyone is grateful in their hearts and never talks about it casually. I probably don’t even know, it’s just a coincidence that his appearance is never the same when he usually shows up in front of people, especially when he is good-looking, it’s rare, but his appearance is not surprising, and there is nothing unusual about it. I think it’s a deliberate joke today, I forgot that my brother was included in the two families who donated to me a few days ago, and my wine shop has no shortage of food and clothing, so it is not included in his relief. It is only because my second brother is very honest and likes to set up his own family. , I personally sent it to him and he would never accept it, and he is very loyal. I don’t know why, he got his attention, and even came here secretly to investigate, knowing that I am not a stingy person who doesn’t care about my brother’s life. "My second brother was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he came here to secretly deliver a letter, asking me to pay attention, and told me about his ridiculous appearance. It was just before dawn today, and he suddenly turned into Er and came here to knock on the door. Missed Sutou, walked all night, cold and hungry, please give him a little convenience. The family has always been soft-hearted, she was getting up to start a fire, and she let me in without calling me. I heard someone talking outside, and I looked around. My brother said that the weird person with one hanging eye turned into two somehow, and the hanging eye was also one left and one right, so I paid attention. I pretended not to know it first, because I ate so cheaply, and I was eager to curry favor. I made two kinds of stir-fried dishes, and said it was a respect from outsiders. I still accepted the food and wine paid by him in advance. Somehow he saw through and said with a smile that I had good eyesight, but their brothers were all members of the Mo religion, and they believed in a man named Mo The ancients said that they were better than the two sages in our hometown. Dozens of local drinkers followed him, and they all received his benefits. After this meal, they will be better people, start a family and start a business. I wish you success and make up for the day. The poor food and clothing as a comfort food also came at his order. These poor people who are going to cross the famine this winter and next spring to make a living have such a meal as usual, and they also specify to come here instead of going to other houses, and even meet people for questions and answers and how to do it. I have been asked to come and go, and it has been more than half a month, continuously, and there are hundreds of them every day. They all have a different set of words. I was surprised at first. It was not until the second child said it a few days ago that I knew it was him. for. "Because their appearance changes every time, these people didn't recognize them at first, but after realizing that the figures and accents of these two people looked familiar, they became suspicious, but were still uncertain, and followed his advice, not daring to greet them. Later, I found out that these people were helped by him. Seeing that they did not talk to each other, they were just pretending. I asked two friends who were close to me, and refused to tell the truth. This strange man seemed to be happy for a while, and suddenly stopped me. , gave a general overview of the previous incident in public, and said that he didn't want to say it at first, but he was just a monster because everyone was suspicious. It's a juggling trick, and you can't tell anyone until it's time to leave. When the two team leaders came, he also mentioned that, in his opinion, the two people were already stuck in the mud. One day, maybe I will look for this place again soon, but I didn't expect to come this morning. According to his instructions, I should pretend not to know. One thing is that we have been friends for many years, and the previous lawsuit was taken care of by the two, so we should not be unconscionable. Listening to that tone, not only do you refuse to meet each other, but if there is any misunderstanding, you will inevitably suffer from him, so I try to persuade you as far as I know. Although the bluntness will inevitably offend, but I really mean it, and I hope you don’t take offense Okay. Please think that when the two team leaders came, he really did not expect it. He said in advance that you will go to Beiguan Daming Lake to visit his traces around noon today, and you are going to sit for a while and wait. Why, you just entered the village entrance, separated by miles, before you turned the corner of the mountain, he became alert and said that he was going to meet him, but then he said that someone was coming, and he seemed to care about what he wanted, so he just two I was so anxious when the team leader chased him out, fearing that there would be a misunderstanding in catching up, and I was relieved when I heard that it was out of my mind. What he said is good, even if you are against him in your heart, it has nothing to do with the fact. The words are finished, I have done my best, and I can’t even say it if I want to be offended.” When the two heard that Yi Renying Wushuang was one of the seven righteous merchants, his abilities were amazing, if it was true that he could conjure magic tricks, and he had witnessed a miracle just now, how could it be false?For example, it is said that the White Lotus Sect is a first-class evil person, but they deny it.Thinking of the other party knocking on the door early in the morning and what he said about Beiguan looking for him, it is clear that even the words and actions of the official meeting last night were under the eyes of the other party. The interviews in the villages and towns of Foshan were not heard, so this kind of statement, how could it not be that the people of Feixianjianxia are predictive and alert when they enter the village?First of all, I was terrified, and felt that Yu Fu's words were not false, and then I thought about it, how to explain the official affairs in this way?Then he asked: "Who are the wealthy households who just mentioned rewarding all the villagers?" Yu Fu replied with a smile: "Everything he does is well-founded, and he rarely sees flaws. Nine out of ten times he helped the poor, the owner himself and his new reliable friends used a topic to distribute it." Even if they met suddenly, there was his ingenious method that had to be rescued at that time, so he didn't show up easily. After a long time, people who received Fei Cai's relief for no reason knew that he did it. As careful as he is, even if the rumors spread to the officials' ears, they would be regarded as folk rumors just like the last disaster relief. He didn't even dare to admit it to the owner himself, so why bother himself? A well-known person on the Internet, a former bully, finally turned around early. He has a cousin, the first household in Naiwai County. He suffered a lot during the flood season, so he was warned first and took advantage. As he did before, he was taken advantage of by this It must be a bad thing for a stranger to come to the door. In this way, the two team leaders already understand, and you will never say a word if you ask them. If you don’t believe me, just try him and you will know.” As soon as the second arrester heard about it, he knew that Neizhong's family name was Shi, and he was from the same poor family background as himself, and he was also a brother of the same school. Since he learned the skills, the two brothers have been homeless since they were in their thirties. After more than ten years, they suddenly returned home rich The township was said to be a business income, and then opened several shops inside and outside the city, and bought two to three hundred hectares of land year by year, both civil and military.Shi Er is a well-known rich man and bully outside the city. Because he usually goes to the public house, he likes to make friends with gentlemen. Although he is tyrannical and known as a bully, he is bold and friendly. There is a lot of love here, half of the change from north to south that day was to search for the thief's trace, and the other half was to search for this person.Because he made a fortune in the past with ill-gotten gains, he had secret contacts with people in the rivers, lakes and green forests, but he was alert and careful, especially after middle age, either people with real skills and reputation would never see him, or the other party was a little old friend, Also before he arrived, he was sent back by the party members he sent early, and he was never allowed to come to his door. Everyone who could see him had a deep friendship, and almost all of them became friends of the revolution after responding to requests.Just as he was about to find him for help, unexpectedly, he also fell into the hands of the snitch before meeting him. Yu Fu was a careful and prudent person. From his tone, Shi Erfei not only lost a lot of money like other wealthy households, but also courted the thieves and offered them up voluntarily.A person who is as arrogant as him is either completely defeated, or knows that the opponent is powerful, and he will never be so submissive if it is not the enemy.According to his usual practice, once this kind of thing happens, he can't let himself go, he must order someone to come to discuss it, both public and private, both public and private, and he will not stop until he beats the other party to ruin, how can he quietly donate a large amount of family wealth , let the other party deal with it, but also express convincing, extra flattering?When I saw Chen Yuting's famous martial artist yesterday, none of the guests here was not a famous person, but he retreated in spite of the difficulties, first he secretly laughed at him because he was old and weak, and he had a lot of wealth, thinking that the person Shi Er handed over was not in him The following, and they are all people in the Jianghu, who do not show their faces lightly in front of others, no matter how good it is to fight poison with poison, I never dreamed that a person like him would be so useless. According to this situation, it is irrelevant whether he is rich or not. It is clear that the enemy is too clever. With the momentum of a pebble against a stone, it is determined that the shot will be defeated, and this cup of fine wine is too much to bear.Even if these two most powerful people are like this, although there are many acquaintances in my family, they are all thieves, what's the use?The more I think about it, the colder I feel.It was inconvenient for Yu Fu to speak out, but in secret they planned to go back and make up some lies, temporarily perfunctory the county magistrate, and waited a few days to figure out how to prevaricate before going to the business.It's a blessing that the opponent left early, otherwise he would have to wait until this person's affairs are over and get up, but I hope that the rumors will not spread, and nothing will happen if the high-ranking officials in this city don't know, if something goes wrong, we can only pass it by and talk about it at that time up. After talking for a while, Yu Fu was originally ordered to warn so as not to spread the word. Although Yiren is not afraid, it will be inconvenient to have too many branches. Seeing that the second arrester was discouraged, he was also very happy, and he took Yi Renying Wushuang from last year to lead the disaster relief. From now until now, all kinds of miraculous achievements of seizing the rich and helping the poor will be exaggerated.From the beginning of the second arrest, the more I listened, the more chilling I became, and the more interesting it became.Later, because Yu Fu was eager to please, he was afraid that the officials would embarrass him and hinder other people's rescue. He talked too much. Although these things are all folklore, I didn't know that the two disaster reliefs were also done by this person. I heard from my brother a few days ago. It is only when people come out of different phases that they ask the truth.This kind of old and cunning famous arrester has such a meticulous mind. When talking about it, he had already heard that Yu Fu was leaning towards the enemy, and then heard a lot of nonsense. "On the surface, I didn't show it, and I still complimented it casually, because I felt that my opponent was popular, and his eyes and ears were everywhere. I acted secretly, and I was seen through by others, but I showed my flaws, and I was less suspicious when I simply said it.I took four hundred taels of silver from my official, and at any rate, I went back to find out the truth.Where things go, there is no need to be certain.After eating public food, there are enemies everywhere, and I have seen all kinds of ruthless robbers and thieves. I am in this line of work, so I can't be afraid of many. Zhao Sanyuan is even more arrogant and aggressive. The more he thinks about it, the less jealous he becomes. He is determined to take one step at a time. If he hits a wall, he will return the ticket. With his alertness, at most he will not be able to arrest the thief and hand him over to the police. If he is victimized, it is better to find out. , deliberately smiled and said: "According to what you said, even Master Shi has suffered a big loss? I never dare to have any thoughts about this strange man. He just refuses to face my brother. Like this fairy swordsman It's rare for a stranger to meet in a hundred years. Listen to your tone. Shi Laoer has never been friends with him in the same class, and he will definitely see him often. His words must be more reliable. I will entrust him first. Not to mention the benefits of being able to see one side, but in the end, you can also gain some insight, so that people won’t be overwhelmed, isn’t it good?” Yu Fu knew that Shi Erye had been ruled by a different person, and he dared not listen to the second arrester's words and make him an enemy, so he didn't dissuade him, and sincerely asked Yu's wife to add some wine and food to entertain the guests. People also pretended to be full of wine and food, and resigned happily. Although Man Bishi Er was controlled by the enemy, after all, good fortune is hard to give up, and this trip will definitely get some help.In order to prevent someone from prying eyes, he didn't mention a word on the way, and deliberately said that the other party was like a god, and he admired him to the extreme.Chu Yi has been friends for many years, and Shi Erjuan has no reason to see, but he walked six or seven miles in the cold wind, and it seems that he can rush to Shijiazhuang in two or three miles, to find out the true and false origin of the enemy and the master's tone. OK, if there is a way, start immediately. According to the behavior of the Snitch, it is something that the Manchu and Han officials in the provincial capital hang around day and night. It is rare that there are only one or two people on the other side. To fight wits with him, once he is captured, first cripple him, and then report to the officials, not only will he be rewarded with great rewards and rewards from many rich and noble families, he will be rich at that time, and he has the hope of being an official.Although it is a military position, it can honor the ancestors and revitalize the family reputation, so as to save a group of old relatives and relatives from complimenting each other in person and discussing in secret, saying that the superior officials and soldiers are all the same low-level people, called the leader, which is really embarrassing for the ancestors.Except for a group of local rich men, some decent gentlemen are present, even if the master doesn't say anything, he has to avoid it and refuse to sit with him.Especially those poor nerds who only go to the government because of business, because of their usual arrogance, pretend to be gentle, look down on people like themselves, suffer a lot, and usually don't even care about food and clothing, still put on their stinky airs, shaking their heads and looking down on others.No matter how friendly the host is with him, how much he greets him beforehand, as soon as he finds himself at the same table, he has a good temper and jumps up. For weddings and funerals, if you have this group of sour scholars present, you will not be able to go forward, and the host will often be embarrassed, so you have to hold another banquet in the upper room of the secret room, and you will never dare to be with the same seat.Sometimes he hated it to the extreme and ordered the thieves in the prison to bite him. They just made him suffer and suffer, but he had no choice but to stick to the habit. He is also a human being.I have already become a policeman, and I can't change it. Every time I think about it, I feel sad. My ancestors were also from a family. At the beginning, because of the ruin of the family business, I had no choice but to make a tolerance, and it was difficult to recover.Last winter and this spring, I had a chance. As a result, the voluntary merchants suspected by the government and feudal courts were all rumors, and I was disappointed. I thought that I had a lot of wealth and hidden power in the local area. In vain.Unexpectedly, the Snitch is so powerful, and the wealthy businessman's disaster relief really has something to do, and the Snitch Ying Wushuang is still the head of the seven.According to his behavior of buying people's hearts like this, regardless of whether he was really treasonous or not, he also violated the taboo of the court officials. Once captured, there will be witnesses everywhere, which cannot be denied.Only he admitted that he went bankrupt to help the disaster, and used his personal power to calm down the disaster situation in Shandong and Hunan provinces. According to the official view, he would have opposition if he did not rebel.What's more, he acted secretly and his deeds were erratic, which only made a large number of people grateful, and did not let a single government know, and the disaster relief funds were stolen by open thieves and forced to hijack them. It is an astonishing case that has never been seen before, not to mention how rampant and arbitrary he is in the provincial capital.The two of us have made such a great contribution, the governor's office will definitely protect it, not to mention the promotion, most likely the emperor will summon him, so it is wonderful to restore the lost family reputation in one fell swoop? How can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den, and how can you get real gold without being tempered by fire?It is not so much credit that things are so easy.The two of us are already in our fifties and sixties. We haven’t seen any storms. If we don’t talk about it ourselves, we must leave a way for our descendants, so that our descendants will not even say that they are married to scholars. Zhongxian was two or three generations shorter than others, and could never raise his head. Thinking of this, just now, his ambition was aroused, evil thoughts occurred, he looked around, and he was walking downhill covered with ice and snow. The weather was colder than yesterday, and he felt so icy and snowy. In the wind, in the second half of the way, I have never met anyone, and there is still half a mile between the places where there are people. Even if I follow, I can't hear the whisper, so I whisper my heart to Bigui.The two of them are the same people, and their minds are not much different, but one has been a deputy for many years and dare not be the master.Hearing this kind of statement, it was exactly what I wanted, and I regained my spirits, strengthened my courage, and prepared to move steadily and move forward.Fearing that they would reveal their flaws, they whispered a few words like thieves, and they didn't say any more when they understood each other. Seeing that there is someone in front of him soon, it is estimated that the poor people in Shijiazhuang must have already received alms, and they have become Ying Wushuang's eyes and ears. past.Suddenly, I saw a person galloping down the slope in front of me, sticking to the ground, his upper body didn't move, and his movement was like flying.Taking a closer look, it was a young and strong man well dressed, wearing a leather hood, a leather jacket, and a cloak, with a pair of snowmobiles on the soles of his feet, galloping towards him.Before approaching, Lao Yuan raised the snow support in his hand to greet him, and rushed up from the bottom of the slope. The second arrester didn't know who it was before, but felt that the place was the outpost of Shijiazhuang. On the surface, it looked like a village where tenants who farmed other fields lived. The terrain is remote, and even during the pilgrimage season there are not many guests, but in fact it is his eyes and ears, which only receive foreign friends.There are also such villages on the other two roads, but this one is a bit smaller. Don't say that the people don't look like tenants or villagers in their attire, so they are quick in the snow, because Jinan seldom has heavy snow, which is different from outside the pass. This is the only family inside and outside the city, because the owner has been outside the customs for many years and likes such things. He usually keeps more than a dozen pairs, not many, for skiing and hunting when there is heavy snow.Over the past ten years, because of the mild climate in the area, the snow can’t accumulate. I only saw him play it three times. One of them was a treat for guests because of the heavy snow. He even tried it. , It's not easy to take a look at it, but today, a person will step out alone, dressed so well, it's not his son, but also his brother-in-law, nephew and so on.There is no one on the way, and the other party greets from a long distance. There is absolutely no reason to recognize who it is from this distance. Don't want to be like the Chen family yesterday. They were warned before they arrived, and they specially sent their own family to meet them. ? As soon as the thought came to him, the visitor slid extremely fast, and he had already rushed up from the shallow slope ten feet away.Before he got close, he could see that it was Cui Wen, the master's brother-in-law, Xiao Gangbian.The two brothers and sisters said that they were from the Wu family, but in the eyes of the second catcher and the other's usual talk, they knew at a glance that they were from the Lulin family.Nai sister Cui Yunzhen is said to be Cui Bamei, a famous female bandit outside the pass, Yunlifei Silver Spear Cui Bamei, because she never admits that she has a nickname, so it is inconvenient for people to ask.Nai sister is very talented, and Cui Wenwu is not weak. She is Shi Er's confidant, and all the family business is under his control. She is only forty years old. Since she came to this place with her brother-in-law, she has also set up a piece of property and married a wife. To give birth to a child, many men and women were used as servants. Although there is no history of wealth, it is also a wealthy family.On weekdays, he is pampered, extremely shrewd and capable, and most trusted by Shi Er.With his status, how could he go out to greet him against the northwest wind in such a cold weather, like a prophet?It is clear that what was expected just now is not bad, and the enemy is haunted again.Fang wanted to make an unintentional encounter first, not to talk about the purpose of coming, to see what he said.Unexpectedly, the other party was even more ghostly, as if they knew each other, they met in a hurry, didn't even exchange greetings as usual, didn't ask any questions, just gave up their hands, and walked down the slope together.First, let him welcome himself to the village, or entertain him at the inn opened by the former village. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the village, Cui Wen rushed to the man surrounded by bamboo fences in front and a fruit and vegetable garden behind him. Stand outside the house, bow to the guests and enter together. This family used to live there on weekdays, with a simple appearance, it looks like the residence of a diligent and clean villager, and the fruit and vegetable garden he planted is of course the property of the historian, which is not impressive at all.When I went inside, I saw that the side facing the street was a row of four thatched houses that looked like two peasants living together, but there was no difference except that the utensils and furnishings were relatively neat and the cleaning was extremely clean.Cui Wen didn't stop, and led the visitors through one of them. It was a piece of land planted with cabbage, with a large slope at the end, and there was a row of thatched-roofed tile-roofed houses under the slope. It is special, not only is it much taller than ordinary villagers' residences, but also four well-dressed strong men walked out of the house, greeted the three guests and the host, and then realized that the house down the slope was covered by the owner with the help of vegetable gardens and fruit trees. It is used to receive friends from all walks of life who are secretive in their whereabouts.Because it is built under the slope, both ends are flower cellar greenhouses, and three sides are covered by flowers and trees. If you pass by the door, it is difficult to find it no matter how far or near it is.At the outer corner, there is a hill-like haystack blocking it, so outsiders can't see it.These few houses are all made of bricks and high-quality wood, but the outside is covered with extremely thick thatch, and the walls are covered with a layer of yellow mud.For example, when it comes to the furnishings used in the interior, the less wealthy families do not pay so much attention to beauty.又是两重门户，外面一层比较简陋，门并不高，暗廊深只数尺，当中一门，也不高大，垂着一副极厚的棉布门帘，内里房舍连明带暗有七人间，全都一列暖炕，外加炭盆，炉火熊熊，温暖如春。除住下四个准备随时陪客的壮士外空无人居。 东首一间精美密室之内业已摆上一桌小吃，六个冷盆，当中一只暖锅，旁边温着两大壶好酒，杯筷却只三副。照此形势，直连到的时候主人俱都晓得，否则不会备得这准。掩饰已无用处，好在双方本有交情，无话不谈，也就不作客套，坐将上去。方想开口说在来路吃过酒饭，主人已先笑道：“我知二位班头已在白泉居吃得差不多，只是外面天冷风寒，家姊丈这几日来感冒甚重，不能见客，别的地方又有不便，恃命小弟赶来欢迎，就便挡驾，陪来此地小饮几杯，挡一挡寒，再请回衙办公。虽是薄酒粗肴，不成敬意，但这几样下酒菜均是今冬新制，特由小弟亲身带来。正恐准备不及，更多怠慢，刚命他们备好暖锅亲出迎接，居然幸会。我们自己弟兄，不作客套，彼此心照，请多于两杯如何？” 二捕一听主人口风，不特尽知来意踪迹，并还说出心照的话，正主人面都不见，明已露出拒绝登门之意，来时热望虽被打消，反倒勾动愧愤，竟将昨今两日所闻所遇种种奇迹忘了一个干净，以为大白日里在此重房密室之中，主人又是行家，话决不会被人听去，先谦谢了几句，吃了一阵酒菜，见主人从此不再表示，所说都是不相干的应酬话，暗骂：“你们这些财主真是贱骨头，只知欺软怕硬，算什么人物。照白泉居所闻，非但受制仇敌，丢人吃亏，你那贵重钱财不知被人家拿去多少。如今有人上门，正好商量报仇除害之计，就说仇敌厉害，你们这些发财洗手的绿林朋友胆怯惧敌，顾虑太多，好在正主人不曾见面，又同来此密室之中，哪怕自己不敢出面，告诉我们真情实活，或是商量一点主意，怎么都是于你有益，为何这样装腔作势，叫人生气。”毕贵首先忍不住问道：“明人不说虚话，我弟兄来意虽想探询这位朋友下落，并无恶念，只是想见心切，无法亲近。这位朋友又不分善恶，是吃这碗公门饭的全当敌人……” 还待住下说时，崔文面上已微现不悦之容，强笑插口道：“二位班头不必说了，你们盛意人家全都知道，非我和史二哥怕事，实不相瞒，像他这样为人只要和他见过几面，稍知所作所为，也必佩服。否则，就他本领多高，稍微有点血气的汉子谁也不肯吃亏丢人，就当时打他不过，强中还有强中手，谁没有几个亲的厚的，怎么也能想法请出几个好帮手，死也不会输气，怎么这样听话服低？你如不信，由去年水灾起，便是这位领头，如今只得一人，暗中又把济南府的富贵人家闹了一个天翻地覆，越是财气粗有势力的越放不过。许多富绅土豪暗中把家产送掉十之六八，这里面也有好些会家和请有名武师的恶霸，你可听到有人寻他报仇的没有？吃了大亏还不肯对人说，是何原故？休看这里地势隐僻，想要瞒他仍是无用。既是明人不说虚话，最好不提此事，真者是真，假者是假，这位决不会冤枉人。我请二位班头来此小饮，另有原因，并非避他，再说也无用处。如问他的经过，我们定必照他所说回答，决不违约，吐出真情。你我多年好友，所说不实怎么够朋友呢？” 二捕先在白泉居酒已吃不少，再吃路上冷风一吹，业已有些发作，胆气壮了不少。赵三元心虽愧愤，还好一些，能够忍耐。毕贵酒量稍差，性又比较狂傲，闻言越听越不是滋味，想起此行又是徒劳，没料到主人如此胆小，并还当面明言仿佛背后一言一动之微均逃不过对头的耳目，不由气往上撞，刚冷笑道：“我不信这个地方此人也会跟来，崔兄说得太过了吧！我怎么也非见到此人，查明他的来历不可！”崔文还未回答，忽听窗外有一女子口音笑骂道：“不要脸的狗腿子，凭你也配见我！”要知后事如何，请看下集分解。
