Qingfeng Dao Leader smiled and said, "This idol does not belong to our sect. When we took over this temple many years ago, it was here, and I don't know who put it here, and the original presiding officer can't tell where this idol came from. Because it was not a deity of the religion, it was covered with a blue cloth, and although the door could be opened, it was always latched and locked, and was never shown to outsiders. ”

Yang Xianmao looked up at this Yaksha girl, and thought to himself, he was destined to be lonely for the rest of his life, and it was impossible to stay with a woman, let alone have a wife and concubine. The so-called color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. Beauty is Yaksha, and Yaksha is beauty, so don't care about those so-called beauties.

However, Yang Xianmao didn't understand, why did this Qingfeng Dao Leader suddenly bring himself to see this Yaksha girl when he talked about how to divide the remuneration before?

What Qingfeng Dao Leader did next made him quickly understand the reason.

I saw Qingfeng Dao staggering to the statue, reaching out and holding it down in the lower abdomen of the Yaksha woman, turning half a circle clockwise. The Yaksha's belly actually creaked open a small door, revealing a square hole.

Qingfeng Dao smiled, went back to the outer room, picked up the box of silver from the table, walked back, stuffed the small box of silver in its entirety, and then reached out on his navel again, clicked, and the small door creaked back to its original position, so tightly that there was no clue to it.

Qingfeng Dao Chang clapped his palms and said to Yang Xianmao, "I hid the silver in the lower abdomen of this Yaksha girl for you." When you use it, open it yourself and get it, this is your silver, I know you don't want to put the silver in your hands, I put it in the belly of the Yaksha girl for you, when you want to use it, take it yourself. Anyway, I won't touch it until I die. Okay, that's it, in the future, the two of us will go out, give people to do things to see feng shui to cure diseases, and I will do the matter of collecting money, you don't have to care, you just charge your penny, and when you come back, half of it will be evenly divided, and I will put half of your half directly in the stomach of this Yaksha woman, without going through your hands. It won't ruin your reputation as a scholar. Hahaha. ”

Qingfeng Dao Chang seemed quite proud of his method, and couldn't help but twist his beard and laugh.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself, it turned out that this female yaksha actually had such a mechanism in her stomach that could hide things. I don't know, can you deceive God with such a hand? Can this money stay here in a good way, if so, then it is not impossible, and I am not unable to get along with money, I am completely a person with five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and I can't keep money in my life, there is no way. If this is a good way to keep money, of course.

So Yang Xianmao smiled, didn't make any statement, turned around and walked out of the house. The Lady Breeze Leader hurriedly covered the Yaksha Goddess again, and then came out, closed the door, and pushed the wardrobe back into its place.

Qingfeng Dao Chang arched his hand towards Yang Xianmao and said, "I'm sorry, I'm drunk, I have to go back and squint for a while." So saying, he staggered open the door and went out, and went back to his room.

Yang Xianmao glanced at the cabinet, there was a statue of the goddess Yaksha behind it, and there was a hundred taels of silver in his stomach, which he could dispose of, but how long could this silver stay by his side?

Seeing that the sun was still early, and it was already day, Yang Xianmao decided to go to Xia Yinhua's tea shop to have a look. I haven't seen her for a few days, and I still think about her in my heart, of course, he has always been vigilant in his heart not to have feelings in his heart, so as not to fall in love when the time comes, and he can't finally marry her, and in the end both of them will suffer for a lifetime.

Therefore, after stabilizing his mind, he took his bags and walked out of the house, and the meal he ate at Mr. Ma's house did not make him drunk, but it was also a little fluttering. After losing the Yin and Yang True Fire, his alcohol consumption is far less than before, but it is still much stronger than the average person.

He slowly stepped on the bluestone road, walked in the direction of the tea shop, and saw a strong man wearing a soap robe and carrying a single knife at his waist from a distance.

When Xiong Zhutou saw him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Oh, Shaoxia, I'm looking for you everywhere, I heard that you set up a stall in this tea shop, but I didn't see you when I came here." I just came out and met it. I said Shaoxia, what a coincidence!"

"The young man doesn't dare to be, please call me a man of the Tao and a poor man. ”

"Hehe, okay, Ichiwen Dao Chief. Come with me, it's too late to go, and I'll miss the excitement. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "What's the excitement?"

"A big lively, so the small one came to find the young man, ah no, what about you, but I can't find it, hey it just so happened that I met you when I went out, you said it was a coincidence, and it was strange that it was fate. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Zhutou took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "There is a group of exiled officials' families in the capital who have come to our Yuzhou, and the auction will be held today. After the auction, the rest was sent directly to the barracks for hard labor. I know that the Taoist chief does not look down on the families of these convicted officials, so it is good not to go over and take a look at the excitement. ”

Yang Xianmao said lightly: "What's so lively to see, they were exiled thousands of miles away as slaves, it's already bitter enough, so why bother gloating." ”

Xiong Zhutou was not blocked back by Yang Xianmao's words, and still said with a smile: "If you sell other people, don't look at it, sell the families of these high-ranking officials, it is a must." Usually these people are high up, arrogant and pointing fingers to oppress the people below us, and now they are unlucky, I want to see them unlucky, that is interesting. ”

Yang Xianmao was silent, and as a lower-level official, this psychology is also understandable.

Seeing that Yang Xianmao did not object, Xiong Zhutou hurriedly continued: "Dao Chief, don't work hard all day long, go and have a good time." Let's go and see the excitement, and have a good time, take a walk, and the auction will start soon. ”

With that, the bear catcher beckoned two sliding rods to come over.

This kind of sliding rod is a unique means of transportation in Sichuan and Shu, with two bamboo poles in the middle of a chair, the guest sits on the chair, and the two porters carry it, and the difference with the sedan chair is less than a cover outside. Mainly in the Sichuan and Shu area is extremely hot in summer, sitting in a sedan chair is very stuffy, this kind of sliding rod is very refreshing to sit, and the wind blows all the way is very comfortable. So there are a lot of people who carry sliding poles and other work at the Yuzhou wharf.

Yang Xianmao thought to himself that there was nothing to do now anyway, and he drank some more wine, and the strength of the wine came up, so he went to see the excitement, don't be bored all day long. He was now deliberately relieving his thoughts from the heavy sorrow, after all, life had to go on.

So, Yang Xianmao took off the wooden box on his back and hung it on the sliding rod, and got on the sliding rod. The two of them sat on a sliding pole and headed towards the yamen.

The sliding rod flickered, but it was a little comfortable in the chilly spring breeze. Although the two people who carried the sliding rod were very thin and thin, they had a lot of strength, and they walked with a very steady step and a fast speed, and they trotted forward all the way on the bluestone slab. The yamen is still some distance from the wharf, but under the footsteps of the sliding pole sedan chair man, it didn't take long for him to come to the yamen and stop.

Yang Xianmao got out of the sedan chair and was about to take out the money from his arms, but Xiong Zhutou had already rushed up and said, "No, no, they don't want money." ”

In normal times, these palanquin drivers don't dare to ask for money when they raise their heads, otherwise they will be beaten. Of course, Yang Xianmao knew this, so he looked at Xiong Zhutou coldly.

Xiong Zhutou suddenly felt that something was wrong, and felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "The villain said the wrong thing, how can he not give money after carrying such a long road?"

So saying, he took out his purse, counted a few copper coins, and paid them to the porter.

The two porters thought that they would definitely not receive the money this time, but they did not expect to receive it, and they were overjoyed, and while thanking the bear for catching his head, they also waved Yang Xianmao again and again, because they knew that if it wasn't for the help of the young Taoist priest on the side, they were afraid that they would not be able to get the money.

Xiong Zhutou accompanied Yang Xianmao to the steps of the yamen. When the official on duty at the gate saw him, he bowed down and greeted him.

Xiong Zhutou crossed his waist and shyly his stomach, and said: "This is the Taoist leader we often mention to you, chivalrous and courageous, and superb martial arts. Good at looking at feng shui to cure diseases, only charge a penny each time to see a doctor and see feng shui, you say, which Lang Zhong and Mr. Yin Yang can do it?"

The officials at the door hurriedly expressed their approval, with a look of admiration, but Yang Xianmao could see that they were just following the words of the head catcher, and they didn't care about it in their hearts.

Xiong Zhutou took Yang Xianmao into the compound and came to the class room. The officials nodded and greeted each other again, and after Xiong Zhutou's explanation, they gave Yang Xianmao a slap on the back, because they also knew that Yang Xianmao was the person under the care of Liu Wuye, one of the two bosses of the Yuzhou Boat Gang, and at the same time, his martial arts were very strong, of course they couldn't afford to provoke this kind of person.

Yang Xianmao just nodded faintly, and then followed Xiong Zhutou to his room and sat down on a chair. A servant served fragrant tea, and Xiong Zhutou personally put it on the coffee table for Yang Xianmao, and said with a smile: "It will probably start in a while, we are early, it is better to come by chance." However, hehe, we who are servants don't have seats, so we can only stand in the back and watch the excitement. In front of them, there are officials and some squires and celebrities in Yuzhou who have a place, so it's useless for us to go early, let's go when the time comes, just drink tea here, and the wind is blowing cold outside. ”

Xiong Zhutou was arrogant among the people outside, but in the yamen, he was just the role of a servant, not even an official, and in the Song Dynasty, which respected the literati very much, the status of the official was very low. Therefore, when he appeared on the same occasion as the officials of the yamen, of course, it was impossible for him to have a place to sit.

Yang Xianmao asked, "Who are the officials and relatives of this auction?"

"Mostly women and children. ”

"Are there a lot of people who come to the auction to buy?"

"There aren't many people who are really willing to pay for it, and most of them are watching the excitement. Because these officials and dependents used to be high up, living a life of clothes to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths, they were used to being easy and disgusting, and their ten fingers did not touch the spring water, they could not hold needles and threads, they could not carry hoes, and they could not wash clothes. How can these pampered men be slaves? Therefore, whoever really wants to find a slave will never come here to buy it. There are only two kinds of people who are willing to spend money to buy officials' dependents, one is those who have some friendship with the convicted officials and want to save their families for the convicted officials. But there are very few such people, and it is not a matter of money, but mainly because they don't want the court to think that they have anything to do with these convicted officials. The other kind of people are those who like to hunt for curiosities, as well as the old bustards in the green building. This kind of person buys the official family back, just to taste what it's like to ride these ladies and ladies under him, hehehehe. ”

The bear caught his hair and let out a lewd laugh. Yang Xianmao couldn't help frowning.
