Chapter Twenty-Two: Three Orientals

Seeing that the villa was exposed, Gonggong Hai took his subordinates to clean up and transfer the place overnight. They came to a ruin in the capital, known as a haunted house, which was rarely approached.

"It's dawn, you guys rest here first, and I'll go to the palace to see the leader." Father-in-law Hai said that, changed his outfit and went straight to the palace. He came to Lord Shangguan's mansion and told him about the villa's meeting with Bai Canghai and being watched, and Lord Shangguan listened and asked coldly: "Hai'an, who is being watched?" Have you ever seen your face? ”

"Lord Qiqi, it was too dark at the time, and the person who was staring at it covered his face, and the old slave couldn't see it clearly. However, that person has done a lot of effort, and he is by no means an ordinary character. The old slave suspected that it was caused by Bai Canghai. Bai Canghai and others failed to intercept and kill Li Mingzhong, but were wiped out by Xu Wenbin. reported that Bai Canghai told that he was in danger at the time and was rescued by his master. His master followed him to the capital, and I think this is a trick by Xu Wenbin to capture him. Hai Gonggong said.

"Bai Canghai, this kid is too naΓ―ve, he can't tell the difference between friend and foe. Xiao Zhenbei save him? This is a bunch of nonsense! Hai'an, Baicang is in the sea, we must prepare early. It seems that Xu Wenbin already knows about our theft of official silver, and he is putting a long line to catch a big fish. This Xu Wenbin is really not simple, sooner or later it will be a stumbling block for us and must be eradicated. Lord Shangguan said. This Shangguan lord's name is Shangguan Yunxiao, he is the prime minister of the central and left of the court, and he has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. The emperor named him the king and the prime minister of the left. Lord Shangguan has always been conscientious and conscientious in the court, but I don't know what's going on, but in recent years, he has whimsically wanted to be the emperor, he snared his henchmen, colluded with foreign countries, and wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment. In the court, the civil and military officials were in awe of him, and even the emperor sometimes had to act according to his eyes. It can really be said that one person is below ten thousand people, and no one dares to compete with it. After the Meizhou Bloody Case, a large number of official silver was stolen, and the emperor seemed to be aware of it, and he sent Xu Wenbin, the new champion, to serve as the Meizhou County Commander, the purpose of which was to find out the truth of the matter and find out the real culprit. The emperor believes in Xu Wenbin's talent, and Xu Wenbin is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he is a young man with no officialdom background, so there is no need to be afraid of dragons and tigers. The emperor made the right move, and Lord Shangguan did not dare to resist the decree in person, so he could only send someone to secretly harm him, but Xu Wenbin ordered the great fortune to be great, and he was killed several times.

After Xu Wenbin came to Meizhou, after a series of secret visits, he interrogated the Bagua Gate and the Five Elements of Black Evil, and finally targeted a certain official in the capital. In order to find out the real culprit, he first used a trick to capture and let Bai Canghai go, and by the way, he inserted the Qinglong swordsman into the enemy's heart. In order to cooperate with the actions of the Qinglong swordsman, he successively sent the Twelve Phases, Huang Ying, and Chen Chunsheng. On this day, Xu Wenbin and Qin Cha discussed how to lure the snake out of the hole, only to see the domestic servant Xu Fu send the flying pigeon of the Qinglong swordsman. Xu Wenbin read the letter and said with great joy: "The old swordsman did not fail in his mission, and finally found out the identity of the masked man, this person is not someone else, but ******** Hai'an. Hai An is a person close to the emperor, and he actually helped the big official to seek power and usurp the throne. Lord Li, it seems that the truth is about to surface, for the safety of the emperor, we should hurry to the capital to stop this catastrophe. ”

"What Lord Xu said is extremely true, without further ado, we will leave immediately." Chincha said.

Xu Wenbin instructed Master Shang and Xu Fu to stay in Meizhou, and he and Li Mingzhong took more than a dozen well-skilled retinues disguised as people from the rivers and lakes, rode more than a dozen fast horses, and rushed to the capital under the stars.

The group walked for several days, and on this day they came to Kaifeng, it was late, and the horses were a little tired, so they had to find a hotel in the city to rest. There are a lot of tourists in the hotel, and there are a mixture of dragons and snakes. In order to hide people's eyes, Xu Wenbin, who disguised himself as an old businessman, said the usual words of a businessman.

"What is the surname of the guest officer? What kind of business do you do in Kaifeng? Where is my hometown? The shopkeeper questioned like a prisoner.

"My hometown is in Jiangnan, my surname is Yang, the eldest in the family, and the little name is Dalang. This time I came to Kaifeng to do antique business, what rare antiques as long as they are genuine, we are interested. Xu Wenbin said unhurriedly.

Xu Wenbin and the shopkeeper's questions and answers, the three Oriental people sitting next to them heard clearly. When they heard that the old man was in the antique business, they immediately became interested.

"Tell me what antiques are worth?" One of the tall, thin men stood up and couldn't help but ask. This tall and thin man has very little hair, a small braid on his head, a high nose bridge, a pair of eagle hook eyes, and a mustache under the bridge of the nose, which looks quaint and strange. The two next to him were short and fat, and a young man was heroic.

As soon as Xu Wenbin heard the accent, he knew that he was an Oriental, he looked at it carefully, and thought in his heart: Maybe these Orientals are the helpers invited by the big official, in order to find out the truth, I must get to the bottom of it. So he smiled and said: "China has a long history, antique cultural relics abound, but there are very few authentic and genuine products. At present, only the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", the Tang Dynasty Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending the Son", the Song Dynasty Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map", and the Tang Bohu's authentic ink treasures of this dynasty, these ink treasures can be said to be invaluable. In addition, there are the four sheep Fangzun of the Bronze Age, which is the best of the best, and jade and other things are particularly rare. These national treasures are difficult to find among the people for a while. ”

The three Orientals were very interested in antique cultural relics, and they were very happy after listening to Xu Wenbin's words.

"It seems that this old man is more knowledgeable about antique cultural relics, why don't we just plan it, see that he has those antique cultural relics in his hands, as long as they are valuable to me Fusang, then we will suddenly take action and destroy them to reap the benefits of fishermen." The tall and thin man pondered in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Wenbin is also thinking about how to stabilize the Oriental people and investigate the details.

"I don't think the three of you are from Middle-earth, you should come from Fuso, I don't know what you have to do with Middle-earth?" Xu Wenbin asked.

"Ours is the same as the old gentleman's, and it is also the work of a businessman." The tall and thin man said.

"Isn't it an antiques business? You want to bring China's national treasures to Fuso, right? Xu Wenbin asked vigilantly.

"Yo Xi, old gentleman, our same deal, cheers!" The tall and thin man said and raised his glass.

"Cheers? Want me to toast with you? Don't! Xu Wenbin said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't drink." It's okay to make friends. ”

"Yo-si, your great friend." The tall and thin man smiled and took a drink.

Li Mingzhong saw Xu Wenbin dealing with Orientals, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd? It's not easy to stop it. He knew that Xu Wenbin was a bold, careful, witty and brave character, so he had to let it go.

The three Orientals invited Xu Wenbin to sit down and asked questions. They talked to Xu Wenbin about Chinese culture and China's national treasure, and Xu Wenbin always stopped talking at a critical moment. The three Orientals had no choice but to talk about other topics.

There was a swordsman sitting in the other seat next to him, and he was very anxious when he saw three Orientals and a merchant fighting hotly.

"Three gentlemen, don't gossip, it's important to get down to business. Have you forgotten the purpose of your trip? The man came over to the tall and thin man and reminded.

"Your side is cool." The tall and thin man beckoned tiredly.

The man had no choice but to lean against the window and drink alcohol, his eyes looking outside from time to time.

After a while, I saw three more people outside, and the man immediately became alert.

"Nine times out of ten, these three people are from the rivers and lakes looking at their outfits, are they friends or foes? I heard that in addition to the ever-changing scholars who are good at the art of disguise, there are also Qinglong swordsmen who are good at the art of disguise, will these three people be the group of Qinglong swordsmen? If it's them, plus these people, then we don't have a chance of winning. I've got to be tempted. The man made up his mind and went downstairs.

"Boss, if there is anything good to eat and drink, just bring it, we have to hurry after eating." The man in front shouted as soon as he entered the store.

The man's voice felt a little familiar, as if it was a green dragon swordsman.

The three of them walked in and were surprised to see that the person coming down from the upper floor was a little familiar.

"It's really hard to get through the iron shoes, and there is nowhere to find them. Didn't expect to find you here. Urging Yama, where are you going to flee this time? The man who walked in front shouted.

Xu Wenbin, who was upstairs, was also taken aback when he heard the name of Urging Yan Luo, and he and Li Mingzhong came to the staircase to look at it together.

"Urging Yama, you are so leisurely, it makes us find it so hard." Another said.

"Who are you? I don't know you. "That person is urging Yama, Shangguan Yunxiao's sworn friend, and he was ordered to invite Oriental kendo masters Matsui Ichiro, Yanagi Shizu, and Tanaka Jiro to the capital to help, and promise benefits.

"You don't know me? I can recognize you, you are the scum of the rivers and lakes, and everyone will be punished. At last came in, the bearded old man said, drew his sword, and attacked the urging Yama.
