It is said that the envoy of the State of Chu said to Liu Xiaoqi that he wanted to hire a "man with a back pot" to protect the king of Chu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Xiaoqi immediately asked when he heard this: "Is it to protect the King of Chu for a very long time, or only to protect him until one thing is done?" This one is busy. ”

The envoy thought for a moment and said, "It's going to be a long time. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "If you want to hire a professional bodyguard, why don't we send another one to you?" Fair price. ”

The envoy said angrily: "How can you be such a person, always thinking about taking your own people to list the business." ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Our store is customer first, and it is for the sake of the guests the most. The business that is too long will not be accepted. ”

The envoy wondered, "Why is that? It's not that our prince doesn't give money. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "The price of this thing has always risen. From the time he came to us to take the first business, the price of a dart has increased more than seven times, and the number of killings has increased more than ten times. If he delays a business for too long, he will lose money to the store. Besides, protecting the prince is not something that can be done with bodyguards. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Mingren doesn't say dark words." What is your Chu State like, I know it very well. Those who wanted to kill the King of Chu so that they could sit on his chair by themselves, at least there were more than a dozen. Bodyguards can block open guns, but they may not be able to imitate hidden arrows. What poison. Medicine, fire. Guns, one is not careful, I'm afraid that I really have to carry the black pot for others. Not to mention the loss of his reputation, it has to damage the reputation of the store. He whispered again, "Why didn't the king of Chu in the first place, I also know some news." The Lingnan Bai family was just the remnants of Prince Yizhong, and later became a businessman. To say that there is no one in the Chu State to help, and they alone can kill the king of Chu, I don't believe it. ”

The envoy's eyes jumped, and he forced a smile: "Seventh Master Yin, things can be eaten indiscriminately, and words can't be talked nonsense." ”

Liu Xiaoqi said twice: "Did I say anything?" ”

The envoy glanced at him and said, "In this case, why did Seventh Master Yin recommend his own people to do this business for him?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "This 'back pot man' - you listen to the code name he gave himself: back pot man - is a bright, white, and person who does not hesitate to suffer losses and carries the black pot. Such a person, although he is doing illegal business, has a conscience. Nai stared at the envoy and said slowly, "He may not be able to do such an errand as protecting the prince." ”

The envoy shuddered suddenly, and said slowly: "Seventh Master Yin, why don't you explain it clearly." ”

Liu Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and said, "Have you ever seen the clean prince under your hands?" ”

The envoy smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it, our prince is really clean." If there is a clean prince in the world, it is him. Liu Xiaoqi laughed, picked up the teacup and ate tea, obviously unbelieving. The envoy sighed, "The prince who was the first to leave early and abruptly, and many things have not yet been taught to him. And then there's ...... Both of them succeeded to the throne very smoothly. ”

Liu Xiaoqi took a sip of tea, held the teacup in his hand and said, "That's it, my lord, what do I do?" The officials and bandits of your Chu State are more rampant than any other. ”

The envoy was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "You even know this. "Silent for a moment," it's not surprising, there are many people. That thing was hidden from the prince. If he had known, he would have not allowed it. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "If he doesn't even allow officials and bandits, then he can't take over your business." Nai put down the teacup and said solemnly, "There is a rabbit living in the wolves, how long can he live?" No matter how faithful you courtiers are, you are in vain. ”

The envoy sighed: "You can't watch the prince being killed by traitors. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "It's better to teach him well." ”

The envoy shook his head: "My nature has been decided, I'm afraid I can't do it." Nai Dao, "Don't delay that back-the-pot man for too long, just bother him to protect our prince until his wedding." Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him. Special envoy Zhengse said, "Our prince will get married in April this year. Just protect him until after the wedding. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I know about this, and I am married to the daughter of one of your generals." As long as that time? The envoy nodded. Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile, "This business is easy to discuss." Then he ordered Liu Zhuang to take a pen and paper and come over, and began to calculate the price carefully.

The two of them were talking about business, and Liu Mingyi came to play with Liuzhuang. The envoy of the King of Chu saw that she was young and praised: "The little girl is so angry. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Don't look at her small, she is the most ambitious." When Liu Mingyi heard it, she turned around and smiled brightly at her uncle, laughing so much that Liu Xiaoqi wanted a daughter. Then he laughed unconsciously, and his expression softened.

The envoy looked at Liu Xiaoqi, and then looked at Liu Zhuang gently dusting off the ash rubbing on Liu Mingyi's sleeve, and took her little hand to go out, and suddenly had a thought: Could it be that this young master of the Yin family is interested in the little girl of the Pan family? Nai said tentatively: "That girl has an extraordinary bearing, not like she came from an ordinary family." What is the origin? ”

Liu Xiaoqi said casually: "But the family is just spoiled, what can be the origin." The envoy looked at him and smiled. asked who the "back-pot man" was, Liu Xiaoqi said: "The rules of our industry never ask about cause and effect, origin, and purpose, and only recognize money. ”

The envoy nodded: "It's fine." ”

That night, Liu Xiaoqi went to Rongguo Mansion to meet with Jia Cong and others and told him what happened today. At the end, he said: "The expression of the envoy of the king of Chu should be to conclude that Ming Yi has a background." ”

Jia Cong said: "Who knows that there is a strange family of your Liu family in the palace?" Mingyi's age was not hidden from the neighbors, and it was easy to deduce that her mother had not left the palace when she was pregnant with her; Although there are many men in the palace, there is only one who can make a woman pregnant. The envoy deduced that Ming Yi was the jewel of the Emperor. He tempted you, and you covered it with lies, and he became more and more sure that you know. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Miss Chen asked me to say that." ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "You did the right thing! I praise you. When others are guessing, it is a smart person to give an answer that makes him think he guessed correctly. ”

Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him and said, "I took the business, but I wasn't sure that the second brother would do it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Could it be that they are worried that something will happen to the wedding of the King of Chu?" ”

"This time, the concubine that the king of Chu wants to marry was originally used to win over the army, and the girl's Lao Tzu held the military power in his hands. His uncles and brothers were naturally reluctant. As soon as this marriage was completed, the throne was much more secure. Liu Xiaoqi suddenly smiled and said, "If something happens, I can't say that the King of Chu himself has a share." He liked a side concubine he had married the year before. Last year, the Empress Dowager of Chu and Wen Wusai gave him four or five side concubines, but he didn't pay attention to them. ”

Chen Ruijin pondered: "Then it might as well be called his meaning." Nai glanced at Liu Xiaoqi, "Don't let your second brother go, change to someone else in S.H.I.E.L.D." ”

Liu Xiaoqi asked, "What to do?" ”

Chen Ruijin said idly: "When the time comes, the people who go horizontally and vertically have enough skills." In addition to knowing martial arts, you must also have some ability to observe words and feelings, and be eloquent. Your second brother is more honest. Jia Cong suddenly guessed one or two, looked at her and smiled.

Liu Xiaoqi said: "It's just that the envoy identified my second brother." ”

Chen Ruijin thought for a while: "If the customer designates that it must be your second brother Liu, let him go with him smartly." Come to me as you leave, I have something to say. Liu Xiaoqi glanced at her twice and didn't ask.

Liu Er was not idle that night, and went to the town and the country mansion again. This time, even Niu Jicheng's study was turned over, but he still didn't find anything, sitting on the roof and worrying. Still unaware that there were seven or eight people staring at him in the dark. After worrying for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to Niu Jizong's study, knocked on the wall for a long time, and did not find a secret compartment or secret room, so he left in a daze. He walked through half of the capital unhurriedly, came to the back of a tall building, climbed up to the roof, took out something from his bosom and tied it to the neck of the beast on the roof, and climbed the wall like an ape.

The people who followed him wanted to know what he tied around the neck of the beast, and they all knew that this guy had a lot of hard work under his feet, and he didn't keep up with him yesterday, and he didn't follow him because he thought he would come to the town tomorrow to look for something. When Liu Er walked away, one of them jumped on the roof to check first. It turned out that he only loosely tied a piece of ordinary red fine silk handkerchief, boxy, and there was nothing on it. The man took off his veil and looked at it for a long time, and then tied it back loosely. When he had gone, another man jumped out to inspect the veil.

After reading the veil, several people went down to look at the place: this building is a restaurant, called the Dream Building. This building is said to be ordinary, but not unusual. The common thing is that I don't know how many people have checked it and how many times, it is really an ordinary restaurant; What is unusual is that in the early years, Huo Xuan, the king of Nan'an County, was plotted here and lost face, broke his leg, and broke his vitality, and a few years ago, Situ Xuan, the second son of Situ Pan, the king of Yan, was assassinated here, and the assassin's methods were in the same vein as dealing with Huo Xuan back then. And Situ Yu's death has not been ascertained so far, only that someone hired a green forest thief to do it.

The next night, Liu Er did not go to the Zhenguo Mansion again. Except for those who followed Liu Er, no one moved the red handkerchief on the roof of the Dream Building. Two days later, the night wind blew and floated away from the beast's neck. The spy who was watching on the left suddenly realized: the straw hat was just a signal, and the red was the signal, so that the thin silk handkerchief was loosely tied, just to be blown away by the wind for a few days.

Feng Ziying then found an excuse to go to the town and the state mansion to set up the old man's words, but she didn't ask anything; invited Niu Jizong out to eat and drink, got drunk and talked about it, but still didn't ask anything. But Liu Er lost his trace.

The envoy of the king of Chu went to the Falcon Bookstore again and asked if the "back-handed man" was free and could take over their prince's business. Liu Xiaoqi sighed: "He has been in a bad mood these days, and he just lost a big deal. ”

The envoy smiled in his eyes and said, "How could you lose a big deal?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Not all transactions can be done. ”

The envoy said, "If not, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said with a sad face: "What else can I do if I return the deposit." ”

The envoy said, "Isn't it possible to change someone?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The guests can't trust us, they only believe him." I don't even know what kind of business they're doing until now. ”

The envoy said: "You don't even know what the business is, how can you negotiate the price?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I said something wrong. I don't know what ...... exactly" thought for a long time, waved his hand, "I know the rough, I don't know the exactly, horizontal and vertical is what it means." He sighed again, "That's it, the money can't be earned, and I don't want it if I don't deserve it." ”

The envoy laughed, and guessed that he knew that the guest Tuo Liuer went to the Zhenguo Mansion to look for something, and he didn't know what he was looking for. Nai Dao: "It can be seen that honest people have the benefits of honest people." He became more and more determined, and he had to be Liu Er.

At the end of the first month of the year, Muhammad was ready. Jia Cong went to see Jia Zheng and said, "Uncle Wang Ziteng's side has a lot of new things, and Brother Baoyu has a lot to learn, and he can't come back for a while." Do you want the second sister-in-law to go over and take a look at him? The ancestor's filial piety is about to be two years old, and he must have a son-in-law. Jia Zheng had already taken care of everything, and when he heard this, he suddenly remembered that Jia Cong had a saying of "giving away a child" when he was young, and thought that there was something mysterious in it, so he immediately agreed. Jia Congbai prepared a full stomach of words, but none of them came in handy.

At the beginning of February, Shi Xiangyun and Muhammad's chariots and horses left the city together. Muhammad's father gave her a man's name, Mu Jian. Shi Li put down the things in his hand and quietly disappeared to the left to guard.

Xiangyang Houfu still holds the funeral for the old marquis, but he doesn't go to the west of the city to find a fight. Qi was in suspense these days, and when she saw that her brother and sister-in-law and the house were no longer bothering, she also settled down.

On this day, Pan Xigui was waiting for work on the street, and a gentleman in a Confucian robe came over and said with a smile: "Master, take Wansheng to meet a friend." Pan Xigui had just beaten a thousand children, and when he raised his eyes, he looked: this person was the third master Cong of Rongguo Mansion, and hurriedly bowed his waist to say hello. Jia Cong waved his hand, got into the car with a smile, and said, "There will be no shortage of money for your carriage and horses, just rest assured." ”

Pan Xigui smiled: "Where do you keep talking? The villain should pull the third master once. Then he asked him where he was going. Jia Cong said an address. Pan Xigui had the heart to ask him about the errand he said last time, but he didn't dare to speak, so he only whipped and urged the horse away.

On the way, Jia Cong told him: "It was a misunderstanding that Xiangyang Houfu went to find you, thinking that you recognized an important person they were looking for." But they've already found the man somewhere else, and you're useless. Pan Xigui recited the Buddha.

After arriving at the place after a while, Jia Cong got off the carriageway: "You can come in too." Remember what I said last time? Pan Xigui saw that it was a house with blue bricks and green tiles, and it was not small from the outside, so he couldn't help but wipe his hands on his body.

Jia Cong stepped forward to knock on the door, and a kid opened the door and came out to salute: "Third master." ”

Jia Cong asked, "Is Qiusheng here?" ”

"Mr. Shi is here."

"Where's the mandarin duck?"

"Mrs. King is there too."

Jia Cong nodded, turned around and beckoned to Pan Xigui, and the two went in together. The house is very quiet, there is no one in the front yard, no one in the main hall. turned a corner and went to the study, and saw Shi Qiusheng and Jin Mandarin Duck sitting face to face, and the case was covered with books and papers. Jia Cong smiled and clapped his hands: "Comrades, I have brought a new comrade here." The two of them hurriedly stood up. Jia Cong pointed at Pan Xigui and said, "This is the Master Pan I talked about last time." ”

Pan Xigui saw that they were all scholars, and he was a little at a loss. Shi Qiusheng had already walked over, stretched out his right hand to him, and said solemnly: "Comrade Pan Xigui, welcome to join the Revolutionary Freemasonry. ”
