Chapter 5 The fifth round of meeting on a narrow road, ghosts and ghosts fighting each other, monkeys use wise children to stretch themselves

The dog was so frightened that he stopped urinating, took a deep breath, and said after a while, "Are you overthinking? I saw the name of Homestead, and it is a century-old shop!" "Kan'er's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "Lu Lu was sniffing under the painting in the central hall. I opened it and looked, it looked like blood stains from rubbing! Also, there seemed to be a brick trough under Si Ye's bed, it was not a black shop, it was designed What does this mechanism do? Look, there is a river outside, and if someone knocks it down and throws it out of the window...how convenient!" He sneered, and Goosebumps appeared on Gou'er's body.

The two men had a quick discussion, and then they "relieved" and the person in the room had already sat down.Yinzhen is in the middle, accompanied by Boss Ma Dahenger, and Tian Wenjing and Li Fu are sitting opposite, talking about their connections in the examination room.Because the wine wasn't hot enough, the boss opened his eyes and urged: "Mr. Qian, where's the wine? Hurry up!" Kan'er walked past the kitchen, and saw that pockmarked boy poking the stove.Kan'er said: "I'm tired of you. It's our job to serve the master! Come on brother, our brother has prepared a piece of burnt wolf liver for you. Tell him to watch the fire. Let's use it." Qian Sanmazi Where are you willing to leave the nest?He hurriedly smiled and said: "You are guests, I don't have that kind of blessing... Go ahead, drink for a while!" Seeing that there is nothing wrong, the dog limped over, raised his eyebrows and shook his head in pain, and said: "Old Qian, I have a problem with my old cold legs, so I can make a plaster for us... Ouch..." Lao Qian was stunned for a moment. The plaster is a regular medicine in the old store. Said: "I'll get you two stickers, watch the fire and watch the wine overflow..." After that, he hurried away.The dog here examines the two big pots, they are exactly the same, only the lids of the pots are copper and the other is iron, so it saves trouble, and only changes the lids, pretending to stir the fire.Qian Mazi turned around in a moment, and after looking at it, there was no abnormality, and because he heard that Fang was urging him to drink again, he poured two pots out of the iron-covered pot, handed one pot to Kan'er, and promised, "Come here! "Just send it up.

The two children returned to the fire in the courtyard with a deep breath, and Kaner asked in a low voice, "Can one pot make two kinds of wine?" "I've gone to see the case of Mr. Han in Tongcheng breaking Wang's shop." The dog turned over the plaster and whispered, "The pot is separated from the spout to the inside, and the handle has two air holes. Where can they be blocked? There is no wine flowing here—ah! Old Qian, and you two, come on, we Meixiang are slaves, we are all slaves, let’s have a drink here and listen to hello!" It turned out that Qian Mazi and Lao Bai and Laohou had come.

Gou'er Kan'er was full of ghosts, while greeting the three guys to talk, while "tasting wine" with grinning teeth, he also listened to the movement of the upper room.They didn't dare to slacken their organs, and while chatting with the two children, serving wine while waiting for the drug to take effect, the three guys didn't dare to make a mistake.Because I heard Yinzhen ask the boss: "I have a relative named Xiaolu, Tian Dafa who fled here the year before last and brought a child who was just one month old with him. I wonder if there is anyone named Tian Dafa here?"

"There are a lot of people who have fled, and there are quite a few people with their children. Do you remember them?" Boss Ma laughed, "There are people like Tian Dafa, but the God of the River died in the spring of the year—wait a minute, I Come to think of it, there was a woman who came to him with a child in her arms and asked for food for a few days, but I don't know the name." Yinzhen's eyes brightened sharply, and he asked, "What happened later?" Boss Ma smiled and said, "Who can pay attention to these things, he probably left later!" Yinzhen's eyes dimmed, and it took a long time before he turned to Tian Wenjing and asked, "What are you doing?" What I said just now is straightforward, you, Xiaolian, were actually bought with money! This time when you come to Beijing, you are about to run into someone’s wooden clock again? I don’t know how much it will cost for a tribute student?” Tian Wenjing blushed from drinking, He laughed and said: "Gongsheng can't spend a few, about a thousand taels is enough—only the palace examination is sad, and the paths of Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu Zhongtang are extremely difficult. I can't pass it." Yinzhen thought the pork was rough and oily, so he only picked the light ones to sandwich, and said in a deep thought: "I don't understand the knowledge here, the papers are sealed, and they are not allowed to be marked, so the examiner can recognize it. Did you spend money?"

"Brother Yin doesn't seem to know the way to be an official." Li Fu didn't hold a lot of alcohol, and said with a small smile: "As long as it is discussed in advance, the examiner will know which words must be used in the first section of the stereotyped essay. " "What if the examiner collects the money and temporarily reneges on the debt, what should I do if I fail to get it? Wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Li Fu smiled with a sense of loss, and said: "There is a set of ways here. How can there be such a fool nowadays, who took cash to bribe the examiner? They are all IOUs. For example, in the Jiazi year, In the IOU, it says: "I am borrowing five hundred taels of silver from Mr. XX", and the signature is "Jiazi Gongsheng ×××". Gong Sheng', the examiner would not dare to ask for money with this kind of note." Yinzhen raised his face and thought for a while, and it really made sense, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The ghosts and monsters have tricks!" While persuading him to drink, he asked Li Fu with a smile: "You are proficient in this way, you are familiar with the way, it seems that you are going to buy a Jinshi!"

"Me?" Li Fu smiled self-confidently, "I probably don't need to be like this. Even if you sell an official, you have to have a few pretenders, all of whom are idiots, and the examiner is not easy to explain. To tell you the truth, I am fifteen Entering school, going to the Luming Banquet on the eighteenth, they all take the first place, and the big material Jingwei is no problem!" He looked at Tian Wenjing, and said: "Nowadays the government is dim, and it is no longer possible to judge Wen by whether it is spent or not. Good or bad character, just like Brother Tian, ​​who has money in his family, spends a few money to the examiner to get promoted, and works for the court. It can't be said that he is a man of no ambition. A poor person like me can only earn fame and fame with one knife and one gun. It's gone." After saying that, he lowered his head and sighed, his words were full of emotions, Tian Wenjing only gritted his teeth and remained silent, and Yinzhen also sighed secretly when he thought of the state's corruption of officials.Seeing the silence, the boss hurriedly said: "The wine is cold, come, please have a toast, I don't know how to treat you guys?" Yinzhen took a sip, nodded and said: "Very good."

"It's just a little heavy, and it smells like medicine." Seeing the slow onset of the medicine, the boss was already anxious and surprised, but gradually felt dizzy and weak. He frowned—how did he know what Gou'er Kaner was doing under the kitchen? ——Seeing that the "poisoned wine" was useless, several people chatted endlessly. After staying for a while, they became even more dizzy, so they staggered up, took the jug to the kitchen, and saw three waiters. They were all there, and all of them had bad mouth and nose. A few people knew it was a big mistake, muttered a few words, and poured cold water with a ladle.

Gou'er Kan'er drank, ate meat, and guessed at playing tricks. Seeing a few people get mad and detoxify with cold water, he couldn't help laughing.The two looked at each other, got up and went to the kitchen, Kan'er said: "Our master has been tired for a day, and he has wine again. He will rest for a while and have to take a bath. You can boil more water, and we will wash too. Tomorrow, we will give you more money." " As they spoke, the two carried a large bathtub to the upper landlord's room. Seeing that several people were drunk and in a daze, the dog said: "Fourth master, use less alcohol, we have to drive tomorrow !"

For a while, the voices of the people fell silent, and the lights in the tents, storerooms and stables in the backyard were all turned off, and only the kitchen lights were on. A pot of fire was built in the main room, and two plasters were put aside to bake.Yinzhen sat on the edge of the bed with bare feet, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough. Just take it, how can it be hot?" "Grandpa, wait for a while before washing," said the dog, pouring water, "It's too cold in this room, once the hot water steams, even the house is warmed up. Good plaster." Kan'er also said: "My feet are scalded by wolf dung, and I want to wash them too!"

Seeing that he couldn't wash for a while, Xu Zhen took off his shoes and went to the hall to get the books.Here, Kaner gave the dog a wink, and the dog went to the bed, groped for a long time, and said with a smile: "Take this shoe over, be careful of getting wet in a while." The little wooden peg—this is the news of turning over the bed board—said at one end, lifted the bed frame and turned it over vigorously! Sure enough, as the dog expected, a big hole flashed out under the bed, and there were really two people tightly squeezed inside, side by side, with a large knife pierced into their shoulders! The two thieves hid on the bed, originally preparing for the guests to refuse to drink, so they could do things in the middle of the night.The three of Yinzhen heard what they said clearly just now, and their hearts were relieved.All of a sudden, the dog turned the bed and boards up in an uproar, and under the bright lights, everyone was stunned, their eyes were burning like ghosts—before they woke up, a bathtub was full of boiling water, and there were five or six buckets full of water. Down...it's a pity that there is a small narrow hole inside, and there are two people squeezed in, unable to move or dodge, just like a rat in boiling soup suffering from this flying catastrophe!Kan'er let out a low growl, hugged a big quilt to cover his head, and pressed the bed tightly.The dog called out, "Lu Lu, come and wait on me", and the dog jumped in with a "bass" and squatted next to the big bathtub. Yinzhen heard something wrong from the outside, and was about to come in, but Qian Mazi also came in, and asked, "What happened to the east room, making such a loud noise?" Before Yinzhen could answer, the dog came out with a smile and said He said: "It's nothing, the bathtub is not properly set up, and some water has been spilled." Qian Mazi drank the poisoned wine and became dizzy. Said: "With such a loud noise, I thought the flowerpot on the window was smashed!?" "Nothing." The dog glanced at Yinzhen who was full of surprise, picked up a plaster and said, "I am the most impatient to put plaster on! It's sticky and hot, and it's uncomfortable to put on. Master and those two Where's the buddy?" Qian Mazi didn't want to think that the net had been exposed, and thought of the three accomplices who were still in the dark and had a terrible headache, so he said, "It's good that there's nothing to do. They've got wine, and if you need anything, ask me to wait on you. This dog skin plaster——" Before he finished talking, Gou'er raised his hand, and unceremoniously "snapped" the big plaster that was burning hot and dripping oil, and put Qian's pockmarked face on it——while laughing, he said: "This plaster is the best for treating pockmarks." Face, put it on, so you can find a beautiful woman to be your wife!" Qian Mazi was caught off guard by this, his eyes, nose, and mouth were all blurred, he stomped his feet, his neck was so tense, and he tensed up. He struggled for a while, desperately trying to pick off the plaster with both hands.Where can the dog allow him to slow down? With an order of "啦", Lu Lu rushed out of the curtain, bit Qian Mazi to the ground with one bite, swooped with two claws, and bit off Qian Mazi's throat with one bite, the blood was like an arrow "Flop" to spray out as far as one foot. Yinzhen's face was as pale as paper, and he stared blankly at the dog Kan'er committing crimes, as if in a dream, he even forgot to shout, and said after a long while: "Who are you? This...!" "Fourth Master, don't be afraid!" Kan'er lifted the curtain and came out, dripping with sweat, and while untying the rope on the saddle, he said, "It's unlucky for us men to live in a black shop today! You will understand when you enter the house!" Xu Zhen shuddered like an electric shock, woke up, and without saying a word, raised the curtain and entered the room, only to see the big bed overturned by the wall, the cotton quilt and pillows were soaked in hot water all over the floor, and the water vapor covered the candlelight indistinctly In the big hole under the bed, there were two people lying sideways, their scalps were scalded and peeled off, they were covered with suffocation, and they died before they could struggle, their mouths were open, their white teeth were exposed, they were very horrifying.Yinzhen opened his mouth halfway, and mumbled, "Is it... a black shop?" "It's true, there is a brand in the green forest, the Black Wind Yellow Water Store!" A gloomy voice outside the window said with a giggle: "I just thought that my old horse and thirty-year-old mother would fall into the trap of two little bastards." Take a breath: Boss Ma and Lao Bai and Lao Hou have arrived under the eaves at some point, all wearing soap-colored tights and carrying knives.It was dark, but I couldn't see his face clearly. The three people in the room looked at each other nervously for a moment, Gou'er blew out the lamp in one gulp, and Kan'er had already held the thief's two knives in his hands.According to Gou'er Kan'er's plan, the thieves in the store were replaced with medicine, wine and hemp, and the robbers under the bed were cleaned up in the house. At least they can escape here safely. I didn't expect them to wake up so quickly!Yinzhen was startled and angry, but also a little regretful: Gao Fuer and Dai Duo should not have rejected Gao Fuer and Dai Duo's kind intentions, and they didn't even follow any servants.My martial arts skills are mediocre, Kaner Gou is smart, but he is young and weak, and only one dog can support him... How good is this?Just ignoring it, Kaner went to the window and looked at it, and said loudly: "I said that the surname is Ma, don't you just want money? The more than one thousand taels we brought are stored in the account room. We are unlucky, I’ll give you everything, you take the money and get out, we’ll go our separate ways. You know, it’s better to build roads than to build walls, and you can’t guarantee that one day you will go to the West Market, and I happen to be the executioner, so how about doing some beautiful work for you?” "You're still talking nonsense when you're about to die?" Boss Ma laughed loudly, "You ruined my three brothers, how can you let it go? Do you know? Living in my shop is life-or-death, ancestral craftsmanship, I can't get rid of the brand! Gou'er laughed and said, "I'm very disrespectful. Maybe you don't know, today is black and white impermanence, and the stars are shining brightly-his name is haunted, and I am called haunted ghost! I grew up on the edge of the Yellow River, and I am familiar with life in the water. ——Look at how well-built your house is! Come in if you have the ability — light it if you want to, lest someone come to put out the fire!” Boss Ma sneered, and said: “It’s human nature to put out fires, but it’s just a bad time. The people who are so timid, no one dares to come out, it is unknown!" Kan'er laughed and said: "You can do it if you want, you burn your own house, it has nothing to do with our dick! When it burns, we jump out of the back window and run across the river, just take a bath!" Yinzhen was confused at first, thinking that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. At this time, he realized that the two children are extremely talented and have a plan. His heart brightened, and he said hastily: "I can learn water to some extent, don't fight!" Let's go!" "I think the water is cold," Kan'er said, "I don't want to go that way unless I have to—hey, Ma, did you hear the rooster crowing? At dawn, your shop is closed. Damn, what is it?" As soon as the words fell, there was a "wow", the window pane was smashed into pieces, and a big black man jumped in "teng"!Xu Zhen jumped back in shock, and pulled out a sharp dagger from the boot. Seeing the big man slashing with the knife, he slashed his hand, and the knife burst into two pieces with a burst of sparks! "Reed!" The dog barked anxiously, the vicious dog fluffed up all over its body, leaped up on the spot, bit the man's right wrist, and tore off a big piece of the man's clothes, skin and flesh, and the man screamed: "Old Hou!" , the shopkeeper, the dog is powerful, hurry up..." Before finishing speaking, another mouthful was on the neck, and Lao Bai's scream was long gone! At this moment, it was the darkest time before dawn, and the scream was so shrill that the five people inside and outside the room were all startled, and they stood for a long time without making a sound. "Do you know how powerful it is?" Gou'er said through the window, "If I don't have a good helper, I dare to call myself a 'death stalker'? Four people have died under my reed tonight, and it has already taken seven lives— —The Son of Heaven proclaims the 'Silver Medal Lulu'!" The dog yelled loudly when it heard its owner calling its name, and Boss Ma and Lao Hou almost turned their calf tendons outside... Just as he was about to do anything, the door of the store was knocked loudly, and then Gao Fuer yelled impatiently: "Open the door! Damn it, what kind of store is this, there is no one waiting at the door! Are you dead?" Yinzhen's spirit was lifted up, and before he could speak, Kan'er screamed, "Our people are coming! Gao Fuer, knock the door open for him—this is a fucking black shop!" The boss and Lao Hou didn't hesitate any longer, they nodded in secret, and fled across the wall from the east toilet with a "swish", although the reeds ran fast, they only bit off one of Lao Hou's shoes, and then heard the door squeak Quack collapsed, Gao Fu'er's eleven people had already rushed in, and the torches were lit in an instant, illuminating the whole courtyard brightly and brightly. "Gao Fuer!" Yinzhen was relieved in a breath, almost collapsed, quickly controlled himself, took the dog Kan'er to open the door and went out to the eaves, gritted his teeth and said: "Search carefully before and after, and see if there is still a nest No bandit!" "tie!" Afterwards, the audience was noisy and shouted for a messy search.Yinzhen heaved a sigh of relief, turned to the two children and said, "Thank you for your loss! Gaining you two is worthy of my Jiangnan trip!" Chagao Fuer rushed over, he had been in Sibeile Mansion for ten years, this Yinzhen He is mean and sharp, and is the strictest under the emperor. He has never had such a test with his master, and he can't help but take a look at the two boys, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, the thief is gone. Dong The two scholars in the compartment just untied the rope, and they also said that we are also robbers, so they were too scared to come out." "Really?" Yinzhen smiled and said, "Please come here quickly." Tian Wenjing and Li Fu came out one after the other.Probably the servants had already explained Yinzhen's identity to them, the two of them had no fear on their faces, but they were a little panicked, and they kowtowed their heads when they walked up to the steps.Li Fu then said: "I have to escape the catastrophe of life and death tonight, thanks to the help of the fourth master! But Li Fu has a silver lining, and he will definitely repay him with a ring." Tian Wenjing said in a rough voice: "The fourth master has a body of gold branches, jade leaves, and ten thousand gold. With the help of the Buddha, I got out of the catastrophe. If you don’t repay your kindness, you are not your husband. The fourth master is in trouble, but there are orders, Wen Jing frowned, and he is not a descendant of the Tian family!" "You don't need to say thank you." Yinzhen's exquisite heart and soul had already heard the intention of the two of them clinging to each other. He just smiled and accepted it suddenly: "Tonight, my gains outweigh my losses. I have a long talk with the two gentlemen. There are many frauds and frauds, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. I think the two talents and learning are still above the average person. They like to do it for themselves. The big man takes fame and meritorious service. His ambition is commendable, but the word fame is something outside the body and can only be hit directly. Take it, you can’t ask for it in the middle of a song—let’s not live it, you go to the dragon’s gate by yourself, as long as you have real talents and practical learning, we will meet in the future!" Gou'er Kan'er was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of the three people's words, but Gao Fu'er couldn't help thinking: If Ba Ye met these two scholars, why would he pull them into his arms!Thinking about it, he smiled apologetically, "Fourth Master, what about this store? Do you want to report to the police?" "Burn it!" Yinzhen said coldly.He had already thought of this, the princes in the court and the middle had their own sects, and his backer Prince Yinfeng was also not satisfied.I didn't ask in my mission to inspect the Gaojiayan area, as soon as a report was made, a file would be filed.Immediately, the city was full of wind and rain.Brothers have nothing to do, but they still have to pick the bones in the egg, and the ants are squeezing the oil, what news may be sent by the editor!After thinking about it, he said again: "Gentlemen, let's break up, but please strictly remember that it will be of no benefit to speak out about this night at Yihe Linfeng Store—this is a parting order."
