Chapter 11 The Eleventh Round of Cold Noodle King Overnight in Jiangxia Town, Rechang Lang, Fighting for Justice

On the second day after finishing the fundraising event, Yinzhen quietly left Tongcheng.According to Yinxiang's intentions, he should take a detour to Anqing Mansion and socialize in the province, but Yinzhen said: "The province is full of people, with a small population and old age, what is right and wrong can't be born? Now there are rumors in Beijing official circles, saying that the emperor wants to depose the prince, and we can't afford to delay. Leaving Nian Gengyao here to hand over the silver, it is serious to go back early-I really can't stand the heat here. "

So a group of people waited to pack their luggage, and Yinzhen Yinxiang brought Gao Fu'er and Kan'er Gou'er to pretend to be a general to Beijing. Looking at the ground of Jiangxia Town this day, Gao Fuer was happy, and said to Yinzhen: "Fourth Master, I can find a good place tonight. We walked all the way, avoiding the official road, this Jiangxia Town villain When I was young, the running order gang came here, and it was the most lively. Not only are there thirty-six activities, but there is even a theater, so we should evacuate tonight...?" Yinzhen was so tired from riding on the mule, he shook his head and said: "I never watch I don’t want to enter the theater with a big tree, I just want to sleep peacefully.” Gao Fu’er didn’t dare to speak up after hearing this, but Yinxiang was interested, and said with a smile: “Fourth brother is also true, I haven’t seen Gou’er Kan’er Are you staring at you? I get up at three o'clock every day, live in the dark, and walk to avoid the heat, I can't bear the boredom."

"Okay then," Yinzhen seemed to be preoccupied, and forced a smile, "If there is a play, you just go to see it. Simply tell Dai Duo and the others to wait for us at the first stop. People on the 80th will follow, and my brother will go to the play. It's inevitable that it will spread, and Amma will not be happy if she finds out." As soon as the words fell, Gou'er Kan'er jumped up and down with joy. Talking and laughing all the way, I saw Jin Wuxi falling tired and returning to the forest, and there was a big town in front of him.Yinzhen got off the mule slowly, threw the reins to the dog, and said, "Old Thirteen, get off the horse and walk, your legs are sore and numb, take two steps." Yinxiang rolled the saddle and jumped off the horse, laughing. "Fourth brother only cares about government affairs, and the horses and bows are out of stock. Like me training in Gubeikou, I didn't dismount for three days. If I was sleepy, I just took a nap on it!" Just as he was talking, Yinzhen turned his face and asked. : "Gao Fuer, don't you say this place is lively? Why does it look lifeless?"

When everyone watched, Zhuangzi was already in front of him, the sun had already set, and it was time to make dinner, but it was strange, in such a large town, there were only a few places where there was smoke from cooking, under the trees of the wheat field at the entrance of the town, there was a group of people eating dinner Nothing at all, only a piece of crows flying up and down in the golden red sunset glow in the west.Yinzhen's heart sank, and he said: "Seeing this scene, I think of the Heifeng Huangshui shop, don't you suffer from it again?" "Nothing." The dog blinked suddenly, "There is no disaster here. , where there are so many black shops in a densely populated place during the Taiping Festival?"

"Let me ask." Gao Fu'er was also surprised in her heart. When she saw a few people who looked like Zhuang Ding coming from the wheat field, she stepped forward and asked, "Men, have you eaten yet? Excuse me, where are you?" But Jiangxia?" Several Zhuang Ding stood still, looked at Gao Fuer, then looked at Yinzhen and the others behind him, nodded and said: "It used to be Jiangxia Town. Our Master Liu bought it to make a villa, and now It's Liu's house. Who doesn't know that it's 200 miles away? Are you afraid it's from another place?"

Yinzhen couldn't help being startled, and Yinxiang was also taken aback, good boy, this town is comparable to a medium-sized county town, how much did it cost to buy it?But at a glance, you can see that they are not lying. A half of the main street has been demolished, and the scaffolding is tied up to build the gate of the main house. It is a newly built warehouse, and there are wooden poles standing not far from the front of the gatehouse, on which are hung "qi dead wind" lights. .Yinxiang couldn't help praising: "What a powerful group! Please tell the owner, we are Xiaolian who chased the north, and lost our way. It's getting dark now, so we will take advantage of the precious place to sleep overnight. Tomorrow morning on the road."

"Listen to what he said!" The leader smiled and said to everyone, "Tell us to report to the owner of the villa! Let me tell you, we are all guarding the villa in the outer court, how many floors are there from Master Liu's second housekeeper! According to me, don't bother with this matter as soon as possible. There are dry shops in Shilipu to the north. All the way is an official road, and Yeliang is just walking, so you won't miss dinner there." A Zhuang Ding next to him said: "Boss Wang, what you see is A few white-faced scholars, how many vacant houses are there in Zhuangbei, no matter where they live for a night, it is considered a shame." Wang Touer said: "You are not sensible. The second uncle of Beijing's uncle Ren came, and he brought a group of people from Suzhou. Girl, it's so hot, it's inconvenient to come and go, the master's temper, we can afford it? Even they will suffer, am I kind?"

They were talking here, and Kan'er sneaked into the crowd without saying a word, and quietly stuffed a bag into the hand of a Zhuang Ding. The man pinched it with his hand, and it was a copper, so he stepped forward and laughed, "Come on." Mr. Wang, you just asked someone to confiscate the land for a few days, and you are so loyal to protect the country? According to me, who walks with the house on their backs? Guan, they're just outside the village, so what's the matter with our dicks?" Wang Tou'er was meditating with his hands behind his back, and Gou'er went around and stuffed a bag of money, then changed his mouth and said, "Then do it like this .Old Wangtou, take them to the village, and we will wait for you at the Earth Temple in the west of the town."

"Okay!" An old man agreed, coughed dryly, lit the lantern in his hand, and said to Yinzhen, "Master, come with me." It was already dark, and Lao Wangtou led the five of them and Lu Lu, crossed the Zhai River, walked through the streets and alleys, and headed northwest of the town.Looking at the dark and deserted streets and alleys, Yinzhen felt deeply moved: the treasury has less than 40 million silver, but the wealthy gentry below are incomparably rich. On the one hand, the Kaner dogs have died to extinction, but the salt merchants are kind. Wealth is hard to give up: This is the prosperous age-the hidden worries inside make people shudder!Thinking about it, he asked, "Old man, what's the name of your owner?"

"Liu Ba Nu." Old Wangtou replied, "The first seven are all elder sisters. They are afraid that they will not be able to support them, so they took such a cheap name. Alas...you are blessed!" After finishing speaking, she coughed again.Yinzhen asked again: "What do you mean by the 'Outer Three Courtyards' just now?" The courtyard, being a tenant in the daytime and guarding the village at night, are all from the Outer Three Courtyards, and the slaves around the eighth daughter-in-law are also divided into three courtyards, called "Li Sanyuan". Grandpa’s hands are scary, not to mention you guys, the governor of the province is holding hands and telling jokes! The uncle who came tonight is said to be a relative of Mr. Ren under the Ninth Prince’s family in Beijing. Mr. Ren is another The sons and daughters of the eighth daughter-in-law, the magistrates here have come to accompany the guests!"

Yinzhen couldn't help but wake up in horror: So this Liu Ba Nu and the Ninth Brother still have such a deep relationship!Looking back at Yinxiang, he didn't know what was on his face in the shadow of the lamp, he just kicked the stone under his feet, Lulu jumped forward, and then returned to the dog in disappointment.After walking for a while, I finally came to a large courtyard in the northwest corner of the town.It seems that it used to be a guild hall, with a stage set up in front of it. The couplets written on the couplets are "three-point tripod" and "a book". I can't see clearly from the dark. It is obviously a temple where merchants from Shanxi Province gathered for a meeting and dedicated to Guan Fuzi. , only because of the divine way, Liu Banu didn't dare to disturb her, and everything remained as it was.The atmosphere here is quite different from that of Qianzhen. There are people coming and going in front of the gate, a row of glass gourd lanterns under the dripping eaves, which are shining brightly, and there are occasional flutes and flutes in the courtyard, and there are people carrying large buckets in the distance to take a bath. Water is sent to the yard. "Don't talk," the old Wangtou said again, "follow me through this courtyard, the Zhang family's old grave is behind you." Everyone understood and followed in a file.At the door in the northeast corner, Lao Wang shook his head and asked for the key to open the door. He waved his hand, and Yinzhen was the first to come out, followed by Gao Fuer and Gouer Kaner.The old Wang said: "Look, the two rooms over there used to be the residence of the cemetery. There are straw mats inside, and they are fairly clean. There are many of you, so you are not afraid of ghosts." The wild wind blew up and lifted the corner of Yinzhen's robe, and he suddenly felt a coolness, because he said with a smile: "I am not haunted by a ghost, and there is a haunted ghost, what are you afraid of? Old man, you go back Let's go!" Before he could speak, he heard a "wow" from inside the corner door, and when several people looked back anxiously, it was Yinxiang who was poured a basin of bath water by a person in the east room, and a girl scolded : "My surname is Hu, how can you be so shameless in the world? When a woman takes a bath, you walk around the door from left to right! I have never seen a woman before, so go back and ask your mother to relieve her!" Several people were startled, but Yinxiang said with a smile: "It's me. I see the couplet on the door, do you still scold me?" The woman was probably very embarrassed, and it took a while before she mumbled: "...I don't know , I thought it was again... what should I do? How much should I pay you?" Yinxiang said: "I don't care about money. You look so handsome, and I don't want to beat you. What should I do? How about I go with you?" Want me to be your wife?" Then she heard the woman close the door with a bang, and spat inside: "You are not a decent person!" Yinzhen got impatient and said, "Brother Xiang, just keep talking. Come quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow!" Yinxiang entered the room like a drowned chicken, and the old Wang was already lighting a candle. Seeing him coming in, Gou'er Kaner covered his mouth and smiled.Yinxiang smiled and stared, and said: "What are you laughing at, have you eaten chicken buttocks? This is called bathing in fragrant soup, and you haven't had such a good fortune yet!" The old Wangtou said: "You settle down first, I will go to the kitchen Is there any leftover food in here, I'll give you a heart." Yinzhen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for you, so I've been busy for a long time. We brought some snacks, so we will rest after eating some casually." Yinxiang had already changed his clothes, Seeing that the old man was kind-hearted, he took out a few golden melon seeds from his saddlebag and handed them over, and said with a smile, "Take it. Don't stare, we are not gangsters! Your kindness should be rewarded—what are you afraid of? If someone asks, just say yes It was rewarded by the people of Sibeile Mansion in Beijing. You don’t need to get anything, you are a servant yourself, and it’s useless to ask others to disgrace you!” "Thank you for your reward... Thank you for your reward..." The old Wang held the golden melon seeds in both hands, he was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, and stammered: "If you don't want to eat, it's fine. If you're hungry , tonight's banquet, it's not difficult to eat. If you say that, you will be poor, eighth daughter-in-law? Why don't you take it to his family's field?" After saying that, I thanked him and went. Yinzhen has a habit of sitting in meditation every night before going to bed, and after a few sips of snacks, he sits against the wall and falls silent.When Gouer Kaner was a child, he could neither sleep nor scratch his ears and cheeks. Seeing Yinxiang lying on his elbows on the straw mat, looking at the beams in a daze, the dog asked: "Master Thirteen, what are you doing?" Still thinking about that woman just now?" "You are very careful, you know a lot!" Yinxiang smiled, turned his face and said, "I was just thinking, how many lands does this Liu have, we will definitely get him when we eat In the field?" Gao Fu'er apologized and said with a smile: "Don't listen to the old Wangtou farting, he didn't say anything, just kidding me!" Yinxiang and Gou'er Kaner were guessing riddles and laughing, which made Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, opened his eyes and smiled and said, "I meditate here, you are just messing around!" "Fourth brother, don't blame us," Yinxiang also said with a smile, "After all, you are not a god, so you don't have the peace of mind." Yinzhen was about to answer, when suddenly there was a "click" in the courtyard to the south, very like a firewood being split The sound came over, and it was strangely piercing in this quiet night. Even Gao Fuer, the Kaner dog, was startled and jumped up like a spring.Then I heard a rough voice yelling: "Alan little bitch, what the hell are you, dare to make a fool of my old Hu? You are a second-class bitch, why are you pretending to be your mother's cunt? Seriously, do you expect to set up a chastity archway for you?" It was only then that Yinxiang knew that the girl who splashed his bath water just now was called Alan, and this old Hu was drunk and wanted to find fault with her.Then I heard Alan sobbing and answering: "Who is a whore? Who is a bastard? Didn't you say when you bought me that you sell your mouth and not your body?" Before the words fell, Lao Hu yelled again: "I bought it. It's mine! What kind of Chang'e Xishi are you? Even if you are elected to be in front of Master Jiu, it's not your turn to suffer—you are so serious, why are you flirting with that little boy? The master was in a hurry to go to the banquet just now, so he didn't care about recuperation You, have you been able to hide from the first day of the junior high school and survive the fifteenth day? Drag this bastard out!" Then a few people broke in and dragged the crying Alan out, he didn't know what to do. Yinxiang's face was white with anger, he jumped up and went to touch the waist knife in the saddlebags, but when he reached for his hand, it was not inside, he took off the horse whip hanging on the wall with his hands, and turned away without saying a word, Yinzhen listened to the old Hu The scolding was so vile, even Yinxiang swept in, and couldn't help frowning, seeing that his younger brother was about to cause trouble, he shouted in a low voice: "Old Thirteen! What do you care about with this kind of bastard? I'm underestimating your status! Go back Tell you ninth brother, can't you cure this bastard?" Yinxiang stared at the corner gate viciously, stood still, his face was blue and gray, and paced back and forth with a whip: this fourth brother is his backbone, he can't violate it. his life.But the matter in the courtyard was not over, the whip sounded amidst the crying and cursing, and Alan's miserable screams were sandwiched between them.It lasted more than a dozen whips before he stopped, and then he heard the old Hu's voice with a wicked smile and said: "Selling your mouth but not your body? Wow! Anyway, I can't sleep at the moment, pick up a nice song and sing it to my grandfather!" There was no sound for a while, as if the strings were being tuned in the courtyard. After a long time, the zither gradually rose, and a whimpering singing sounded: Flowing fireflies fly across, green phosphorus swims secretly in the wet grass forest...Looking at the flowing water and high mountains, the road to my hometown is far away, and the news of the spring day of the day lily in the high hall is locked by the Guanhe River.He lingered and came back late, his heart was still shocked, and Du Yu's blood was all over... "Not good!" Lao Hu said loudly, "Change to a happy one!" Then Alan paused and sang: Talk about using the spring scenery as life, sleeping in the garden with a few trees and flowers... "Again!" Lao Hu stopped again, "Sing to me——Ten Tests of Lu Dongbin in Yunfang!" "Ten Trials of Lu Dongbin in Yunfang" is the story of Bai Mudan flirting and stealing Dongbin's immortal root. It is a famous Fengyue opera, and it is the most obscene.When Yinzhen heard Lao Hu's mistreatment, he couldn't help being furious. He gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then said, "Xiangdi, this is too outrageous, teach him a lesson for your ninth brother!" "Yes!" Yinxiang agreed, took off the solid gauze robe, picked up the whip and left.Yinzhen then ordered: "Gao Fuer get your luggage ready, we'll walk in a while. The two of you accompany me to meet me at the corner gate." After that, the three of them took Lulu out of the room, only to see Yinxiang standing shirtless At the door of the foot, I saw the door, and pushed it hard with my foot. The door was not very strong, and it collapsed suddenly with a bang, and Yinxiang yelled: "Bastard, what a shame!" It's really an insult!" Then he rushed in. There are lanterns hanging in the four corners of the yard, which are very bright.When Yinxiang came in from the dark place, he felt that the light was dazzling.When he took a closer look, the man named Lao Hu was a fat black man, naked and half leaning on the stone slab in the yard, with black hair on his chest like a mess of grass, he was so drunk that the two women were holding him down. Alan, who is willing to sing, meets the ground.Seeing Yinxiang rushing in majesticly holding a whip, and Xuelian seemed to be bursting with flesh, everyone in the courtyard was startled, Lao Hu sat up with a "huh" and asked the woman: "Where is this wild bastard? Is it from your village?" "Traitor!" Yinxiang was angry with his elder brother and eunuchs since he was a child, starting from the word "bastard", he hated this most, so why wait for them to calmly ask and answer?Shouting and cursing, he jumped up with a stride, and it was a whip in the face!Lao Hu screamed, "Damn!", rolled over and stood up, clutching his bloody left cheek, and shouted like a pig: "Come on! The robbers robbed! Are the boys at the door all dead?" Where does Yinxiang care, the whip in his hand makes the wind sound, driving the old Hu to whip violently, a yard of maids, wives and Lehu women bought together cry and call for father and mother. The courtyard was full of commotion, and the long followers guarding the gate outside had already been alarmed.After a while of yelling, more than a dozen people ran in with sticks and beat Yinxiang around without saying anything.But Yinxiang, as a prince, followed the ancestral precepts and never gave up bowing and horses since he was a child. The masters who taught him were all the bodyguards in the palace, and he was a top-notch player in the world. He also loved martial arts, and his skills were among the best among elder brothers.These powerful slaves bully the common people in a way, how can Yin Xiang put the pheasant tricks in Yinxiang's eyes?When he started beating, he jumped vertically and horizontally, an ordinary horsewhip was like a dragon, fluttering and shining in a trance, and the whip was full of bruises.Yinzhen was dazzled by the door at the right corner, and Kaner Gouer bit his finger in amazement.After a while, the dog came back to his senses and said, "Fourth Master, let the reeds go?" "Unless it is absolutely necessary, you can't let the dogs go." Yinzhen said coldly, "Master Thirteen can deal with them!" But more and more servants are coming in from outside.Yinxiang was very vigilant, so he grabbed the old Hu in a cold embrace and held him in his arms. With his eyes wide open, he shouted loudly: "Stop the fuck!" He stopped, and only circled a semicircle to force Yinxiang.Yinxiang lifted the yellow belt around his waist, and said with a sneer, "you say I'm a thief? Look at this! I will change my name and surname, but I am Aixinjueluo Yinxiang, the thirteenth daughter of Beijing! Today, I am the ninth brother Get rid of this slave!" Everyone couldn't help being stunned, those who carried sticks and knives, those who pulled whips were all motionless, like clay sculptures.At the moment when we couldn't get along, Yinxiang laughed and said, "Old Hu, I've been fighting for half a day and I haven't asked you for your name yet. What's your name?" "Hu Shixiang!" Lao Hu was transferred to Beijing from Heishanzhuang, and he had never met Yinxiang before. How can he believe that this stupid boy is Brother Thirteen?He raised his head and agreed, then rolled his strange eyes and asked, "How is it?" Yinxiang spit on his face as soon as he finished speaking: "You deserve this name too! Is this the rule for answering the master's words? Then he turned around and asked, "Which one of you is the brother-in-law named Ren? I bought this Alan!" Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but no one dares to speak.Ren Bo'an's brother-in-law had already arrived and mixed in with the crowd, but he took a picture of Yinxiang from a distance in Beijing, but what happened tonight was too coincidental, and he was also drunk and confused, in a trance, feeling like and unbelievable. Everyone waited and watched, but dared not answer.But Hu Shixiang didn't know how to get up and down, and said loudly: "Not for sale! You are not the thirteenth master!" "Not for sale?" Yinxiang snorted, and designated Alan with a horsewhip, "I'm sure I'll buy this girl! You escort me to Beijing, shed a hair, and I'll ask you to set up a flagpole—go back to me and Ninth brother, talk!" After saying that, Hu Shixiang shoved suddenly, and Hu Shixiang rolled away Zhang Xu Laiyuan. Hu Shixiang turned over in a jerk, pointed at Yinxiang and shouted: "You are all dead! Just a few feet of yellow cloth and you believe that he is elder brother? Take it down!" , Hu Shixiang jumped and wanted to scold, but Alan, who was shrunk aside, hugged his leg and slammed.Hu Shixiang rubbed his arms and legs in pain, and fell to the ground with a "gudong". Yinxiang tucked the whip in his waist, patted the ashes on his hands, sneered and went away, and said as he walked: "Do you want to die? Don't look at Brother Nine's face, you will see the king of hell soon! " A group of five people left Jiangxia that night.At noon on the third day, I rested my horse at Wulipo. After inquiring, I just arrived at the border of Liu Banu.Gao Fu'er and the others shook their heads in astonishment, and Yinzhen Yinxiang was also horrified to see how rich the Liu family was.
