Di Fan knew that it was someone from the Sink Gang who came, so he asked Wang Xiaojiu, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Dazhu to go to the back kitchen, or go to rest, and open the door by themselves. www.biquge.info The door was opened, and two men and one woman stood in the front row, the woman stood in the middle, and the back row followed by five or six followers. When Di Fan looked at the woman: just past the year of Jasper, as tall as Wang Xiaomei, with her hair coiled up, a melon seed face, two small dimples flashing when she smiled, thick eyebrows and big eyes, her face was ruddy and shiny, she was wearing an orange and red silk shirt, playing with a short sword, and she was even more beautiful than Ma Qian. This person's surname is Huo, his name is Xiaoling, and the word Ling is the youngest daughter of Huo Xixiong, the leader of the Sink Gang, and her life motto: The sky is high and the birds fly, and the water is wide and I swim.

Looking at Huo Xiaoling's left again, there was a person standing: five feet tall, twenty-two years old, with his hair coiled up, his face slightly dark, dressed in light blue satin, holding a short knife, full of respect. This person's surname is Huo, his name is Shui, and his name is Jiade, and he is the son of Huo Xixiong, the leader of the Sink Gang. His life motto: Looking at the Jianghuai River and Han, the south and the north are all Huo's dragons.

Looking at Huo Xiaoling's right again, there was a person standing: more than five feet tall, twenty-one years old, with shawl hair, white and tender complexion, dressed in purple and red satin, holding a long sword, wearing silk soft boots on his feet, and smiling slightly. This person's surname is Huo, his name is Huan, his name is Jian, and he is the only son of Huo Xiqiang, the deputy leader of the Sink Gang. His life motto: Swim between the Jianghuai River and Han, and the beauties and beauties are in full view.

Di Fan returned the salute and hurriedly invited them in, Di Fan and the Huo family had a table for three people, and the rest of the entourage had a table. Di Fan asked Wang Xiaomei to serve good wine, and Wang Dazhu prepared the dishes.

Huo Xiaoling said first: "Yesterday evening, my father received a letter from my brother, so he asked us to set off immediately and come here to find my brother. Did my brother miss Xiaoling? ”

Di Fan said: "My little sister is getting more and more beautiful, and her mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Huo Xiaoling smiled knowingly, Di Fan opened his hands outward, and said, "By the way, I didn't bring any money!" This meal can only be my treat, and you pay for it. ”

Huo Xiaoling laughed and said, "The old city is not like a four, and if you invite guests to dinner, you have to pay for it." If this spreads, no one will dare to look for my brother anymore. ”

Huo Jiade said to Huo Xiaoling: "Little sister, even if it spreads, it is estimated that no one will believe it." ”

Huo Jian said: "I testify as the son of the deputy leader of the Sink Gang, and someone must believe it." ”

Di Fan said: "Thank you, second brother." I don't know how much trouble I saved! The four of them laughed. At this time, Wang Xiaomei had already sent good wine (Shixi Shuangquan), so she filled it for the three members of the Huo family, but gave Di Fan a bowl of tea.

Huo Xiaoling said: "Why doesn't my brother have a drink?" It's one of the best wines here! "The matter of Di Fan's soul palm, the three members of the Huo family are still unknown, so Huo Xiaoling has this question.

Weng Bo said: In the past, there was a poem as evidence: "Shuangquan liquid is a syrup, mellow and sweet, Yu Hu pours longevity, and prays for the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people." "No need to say that.

Di Fan said, "Oh, I know, I know. I don't drink alcohol today, but my mouth is still a little greedy. ”

When Huo Jian saw Wang Xiaomei coming, he suddenly lost his mind, and looked at it with a pair of eyes stunned, completely ignorant of anything else.

When the Huo family brothers and sisters saw it, they were snickering. Wang Xiaomei blushed and immediately ran back to the back kitchen. Di Fan also understood, and said: "I said that the son of the deputy gang leader, this is the daughter of the shopkeeper, the beauty is a little more beautiful, you had better beat the idea of the little girl of others, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”

Huo Xiaoling smiled and said, "Yes, yes." Second brother, you should be more leisurely, my brother has always been true to his word. If you offend your brother, even if you are the deputy helper, I am afraid it will not help. Huo Jian didn't realize it, his eyes kept sending Wang Xiaomei into the back kitchen, and he stood up in his seat, and it was good to look at Wang Xiaomei more. Seeing this scene, Huo Jiade didn't say a word, and only stepped on Huo Jian's soft boots. Huo Jian was in terrible pain, so he came to his senses and said, "Come, drink, drink, I'll give my eldest brother a drink." Di Fan and the Huo family brothers and sisters laughed.

Huo Jiade raised his glass and said: "This glass of wine thanks to the kindness of the eldest brother, and invited the owner of the Central Plains Money Village to help solve the urgent need of my Sink Gang." "It turned out that three years ago, due to a shortage of funds, the Sink Gang almost caused a mutiny among the plumbers, and it was Di Fan who asked Qian Wanguan as a guarantee and gave a loan of one million taels of silver.

Di Fan muttered in his heart: I also got tens of thousands of taels of small profits for this matter, and I have to thank you for the silver, so he said: "This is all an old thing, why mention it again, let alone thank you." I'm an old friend of the owner of the money bank, so it's a big deal. Besides, the owner of the money bank also made a lot of money. Come, you drink, I, drink tea! ”

The three members of the Huo family drank it all, Huo Jiade's gratitude was on his face, and he continued: "Originally, my father was going to pick up the eldest brother in person, but he just had important matters to discuss with the second uncle, the military advisor and several uncles in charge, so let us come over and invite the eldest brother to Yingzhou to play for a few days, and then accompany the eldest brother to Beijing." "It turns out that this river Han Tank Gang is composed of several leaders, such as the gang leader Huo Xixiong, the deputy gang leader Huo Xiqiang, the military advisor Chao Tiangai, the Han water chief Sima Changyu, the water chief Shangguan Wuren, the Rushui chief Ouyang Ping, the Yingshui chief Xiahou Shangzhi, the Cai water chief Zhuge Gaohuan, and the Yellow River chief Sikong Xin.

"What is important to discuss! Isn't it just to make money from the court of the Han Dynasty (Later Han)? I want to make money but I'm afraid of accidents, so I discussed it together. Huo Jian took Hojiade's words and continued.

Huo Jiade pointed at Huo Jian, complained a little, and said: "When the gang took over this business, he repeatedly told us not to talk about it to outsiders." Let us know if we want us to help with ideas, or how much insight we can have. ”

Huo Jian put on a very disdainful look, drank another glass of wine, and said, "Don't think that you are the son of the Huo family, just point fingers at me." Is there an outsider here, is Brother Di an outsider? That's it? People are small businesses, you borrow ten guts from him, does he dare to say it? ”

Huo Jiade restrained a little and said: "Big brother is definitely not an outsider, without big brother, where is our Sink Gang today!" ”

Di Fan said: "In this chaotic world, I think Uncle Huo and Second Uncle Huo are afraid that if they have a case, you can quickly take over the affairs of the gang, so as not to fall into the hands of the gangsters." At the same time, it can also allow you to establish prestige in this business. They're all working hard, and you're playing tricks here! Hey......"

The three members of the Huo family were silent for a long time, and Huo Jian said first: "Then the eldest brother can help plan and plan." ”

"You'll have to talk about the specifics first."

"Five days ago, a man in black came to the gang, saying that he was a secret envoy of the imperial court (Later Han), and asked us to help transport food and wages from Beijing to Xiangzhou and Anzhou. The uncle and father didn't dare not accept it, and they didn't dare to accept it, so they finally agreed to this business. This court originally had its own luck, but now it is for us to do it in the rivers and lakes, now that I think about it, I am really afraid that I will earn my life and have no life to spend. ”

Di Fan thought to himself: Sure enough, fortunately, I have already reminded Brother Ding that it should be fine. Di Fan squinted his eyes and said, "The imperial court must be afraid of being robbed, so please ask your sink gang to do it, who made you so famous among the Jianghuai River and Han?!" ”

"I wonder if my brother has any good ideas?"

Di Fan already had a plan in his heart, and said: "This water transportation should be the same as the dart on land, and a few friends from the dart master will come to me another day to see if they can help." "The three of them thanked each other.

Di Fan asked, "Have you finished eating?" It's time for us to go. The three members of the Huo family were puzzled.

Di Fan pointed at them, and then said, "You still don't understand? Let you go at dusk at once, and it is clear that your father wants you to go back soon. The three of them came to their senses and nodded their heads again and again.

"OMG! You are so stupid, can you do this job? ”

"Definitely." The three of them looked at each other and said in unison.

Di Fan was satisfied, invited Wang Xiaojiu, Wang Xiaomei and Wang Dazhu, asked for pen and ink and envelopes, wrote two letters in three or two clicks, and handed them to Wang Xiaojiu.

When Wang Xiaojiu read it, one envelope read, "Zhang Shunzi personally opened", and the other envelope read, "He Shi and I personally opened". Di Fan said: "When the brother who came with me comes back, I will ask the treasurer to give him these two letters, and he will know what to do." Wang Xiaojiu responded, and Di Fan and the Huo family were ready to set off.

Wang Xiaojiu said: "Huo Shaoxia, no, it should be Di Shaoxia, so anxious to leave?" Stay a few more days? Wang Xiaomei continued: "Good brother, there are still a lot of dishes in my house that are not well cooked, so you can stay for a few more days!" Wang Dazhu also kept Di Fan.

Di Fan said: "I am Di Fan of the old city, and I will definitely see you in the future." If you have any problems, you can always go to the old town to find me. I've been bothering for days, thank you for your hospitality. There's something else going on today, so I'm leaving. Di Fan said goodbye, left Dongsheng Xiaodian with the Huo family, got on the boat, went upriver along the Han River, and went straight to Yingzhou. The three members of the Wang family watched.

The words are divided into two ends. Let's say that Zhang Shunzi, Jin Zhaoyue and Wang Congrong went to the pasture in the north of the city to receive bird training, and then went straight to Meicheng. When Di Fan and Dang Zaixing arrived in the big and small counties, they arrived in Meicheng. At this time, the Manichaean fire guards were preparing to attack Fuzhou, and the vanguard Tianmawei had already set out, while the soldiers in the city were still busy working everywhere, doing some things to borrow money, food, and goods. It seems that these soldiers are not ready to return. Zhang Shunzi saw that there was some chaos in the city, so he asked Jin Zhaoyue and Wang Congrong to find the honor inn to settle down first, and he first inquired in Meicheng. Zhang Shunzi walked around Meicheng Street, turned a corner, and came to a tea shop called this Muxuan, where he met several soldiers borrowing tea.

The owner of the shop turned his back to Zhang Shunzi and said, "I've heard of borrowing money and grain, boys borrowing books, wicked people borrowing knives, and Zhuge borrowing arrows, but haven't you heard that this tea has to be borrowed?" ”

One of the soldiers said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, lend us tea, that's your honor, otherwise the master will let you get out of Meicheng!" ”

"What a big breath! What if I don't borrow it? ”

"Don't borrow? Then we will treat it as our own and take it. As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers rushed up.

The owner of the shop was very angry and said: "If you dare to rob, I will take Wei Changshi to sue you to see if there is a royal law in this Meicheng!" ”

The soldiers ignored it, reached for the bamboo sieve, and brought the tea leaves. The owner of the shop was furious, so he picked up the bamboo paddle that picked up the tea leaves, and slapped them on the back of the hands of the soldiers. Each soldier had a grid red mark on the back of his hand, and the pain was terrible, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and then drew his saber from his waist and slashed at the owner of the shop. The owner of the shop couldn't, so he had to take a few steps back. Several bamboo sieves toppled to the ground, and small tea parcels on them fell to the ground. Some of the packages were broken, and the tea leaves were scattered all over the ground. The soldiers were still angry, and they took up their swords and went to cut down the owner of the shop.

At that moment, a man appeared in front of the owner of the shop, and the soldiers were knocked down one after another with three or two efforts. This person is none other than the third master. When the soldiers saw that it was the third master who came, they immediately got up and wanted to run. Don't the third master drank and said, "Come back!" Smashed other people's things and just left? And when the soldiers turned back, they said that they had no money. Don't the third master shook his head, paid out of his own pocket, and paid the money. When the soldiers saw this, they wanted to slip away.

The owner of the shop said, "Wait! "Everyone is puzzled, why do you want double the price?

"Some tea buns just fell to the ground and didn't break, so the money was given more." The owner of the shop returned the money to the third master.

Don't say the third master waved his hand and said, "It should be regarded as compensation for you, and you don't have to pay it back." "The owner of the shop didn't take it, and only sent the money to the chest of the third master, who is also a face-saving person, not dead or alive. The owner of the shop was unable to do so, so he gave the soldiers the tea buns in good condition.

The third master of Bei was a little convinced by the owner of this shop, and then instructed the soldiers, saying, "Don't do these stupid things that hurt heaven and reason, and disgrace the face of the Divine Sect." As soon as the words fell, Don't Third Master only stabbed off the arm of the soldier who was the leader, and continued, "Over the years, you have forgotten the rules in the teaching, today I will let you have a longer memory, and teach you a lesson for Brother Gongsun. The soldier was already frightened, and ran away. Don't stay long, don't stay long, and go straight away. The owner of the shop also packed up and entered this wooden pavilion.

Zhang Shunzi saw it in his eyes and thought: It's a little interesting, it seems that I have come to the right Meicheng. Thinking about it, Zhang Shunzi also entered this Muxuan, in addition to the owner of the shop, there is no one to help, when he looks up: the year is twenty-eight or nine, the appearance is strange, this person is the owner of this Muxuan, called Chai Rong, the later Great Zhou (Later Zhou) Shizong, is the adopted son of Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the nephew of Mrs. Guo Wei. Because the Guo family is not good at making a living, the family has a lot of money, Chai Rong went out to do business, subsidize the family, and now he is selling tea in Meicheng. After buying a high-quality tea in the store, Zhang Shunzi asked, "Dare to ask the store, who is the murderer in front of the door?" ”

Chai Rong saw Zhang Shunzi's appearance, but he also bought high-quality tea, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said, "You are from out of town, right?" ”

"Exactly."

"That's not a murderer, it's a wounder, it's the third guard of the Manichaean Fire Department Tianjingwei, known as the third master. Those scourges were the soldiers of the Tianlong Guard, and when they heard that they were about to go out of the city to do some evil, they stirred up the city and made the chickens and dogs restless. The third master is to clean up the scourge for Shi Gongsun Mingming, the head of the Tianlong Guard. ”

"Oh, I see. Have you ever heard that two men and two women were caught in Meicheng some time ago, and those two women are still twins? ”

Chai Rong was born with superior wisdom, so naturally he had already heard about the deeds of Di Fan and a group of people in the old city, coupled with the notice posted in Meicheng before, so he asked loudly: "What is your relationship with the four old cities?" ”

Zhang Shunzi panicked, immediately walked up to Chai Rong, covered his mouth, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he let go and said softly: "You be quiet!" ”

Chai Rong didn't care, he looked like he was hiding a knife in his smile, and only sent one palm to Zhang Shunzi's chest. Zhang Shunzi could see clearly, his body quickly moved to the right, and before Chai Rong made the second move, he used the kung fu of "Golden Sage" to hit Chai Rong's left shoulder. Chai Rong couldn't, so he had to defend himself. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds in this Mu Xuan, and they did not win or lose. Not long after, Chai Rong bought a flaw for Zhang Shunzi, admitted defeat by himself, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Under Chai Rong, Zhang Daxia is a good kung fu to touch the mouse!" ”

Zhang Shunzi was stunned, so he had to return the salute and said, "How do you know me?" ”

Chai Rong smiled: "Looking at your appearance, you can guess a few points; When you come to the store, you don't ask the price, you only pick the best tea; Then he asked about Yang Wuxia and Six Young Heroes; Just now, Zhang Daxia is mostly light work. Naturally, I was able to confirm it. Actually, Chai Rong didn't say one thing, that is, when he talked about Di Fan, he looked panicked.

During the competition, Zhang Shunzi also felt that Chai Rong did not use much internal strength, and there was a lot of temptation, and when he heard him just now, he felt that he was not as smart as Chai Rong, and he also hugged his fists and returned the salute, saying: "Brother Chai is so knowledgeable!" The two sat down and had a very happy conversation, Zhang Shunzi admired Chai Rong's wisdom and style of acting, Chai Rong admired Zhang Shunzi's light skills, and even admired Di Fan and others. It didn't take long for the two to really get married. Zhang Shunzi wanted to lead Chai Rong to the Honor Inn, meet Jin Zhaoyue and Wang Congrong, and then discuss countermeasures together.

Chai Rong said: "The honor inn is at the corner of this Muxuan, I think it is better to invite Miss Jin and Mr. Wang to come over, I have a small goal here, and there are no outsiders, so it is not easy to attract the attention of others." Zhang Shunzi talked about the yellow bag, so the two agreed that Zhang Shunzi would live in the honor inn, and Jin Zhaoyue and Wang Congrong would come to this Muxuan, which was not only safe, but also convenient to visit the mystery of Meicheng's honor.

Zhang Shunzi asked, "Brother Chai Rong, do you know where my two brothers and two little sisters are now?" ”

Chai Rong is not a thing in the pool, he cares about everything, and naturally knows what happened at the Honor Inn. So he told Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters about the arrest one by one, and then said: "The four of them are no longer in Meicheng, they should be escorted to the Manichaean altar." ”

"Manichaean Altar? Where is it? ”

"Brother Shunzi, don't worry, I have a brother in Manichaeism, and he is also the chief of the guard, he should know. You go to the honor inn first, invite Miss Jin and Mr. Wang, and let's sum it up together, how about it? ”

Zhang Shunzi felt reasonable, so he went to the honor inn first. Chai Rong also cleaned up this Muxuan, the door was only open for a small road, and hung up a sign saying that it was closed, just waiting for Zhang Shunzi and them to come.

I don't know how Di Fan assisted the Huo brothers in escorting food and wages, nor did I know who Chai Rong's Wei Changshi brothers were, let alone how Zhang Shunzi and Chai Rong rescued Yang Wulang, Xiao Liuzi and the Yu sisters.
