Hu Haijiao accepted the five thousand taels of silver brought by Zhu Laoliu and promised him to go down the mountain on the agreed day to act according to the plan.

Zhu Laoliu left Tianyun Village, thinking all the way about how to return to Zu Baishou, and took out an extra 5,000 taels out of thin air, fearing that Zu Baishou would be so angry that he would bleed.

When he returned to Lei Gong Town, he had already come up with an idea to make himself miserable, to prove the difficulty of the trip, and said this to Zu Baishou, Hu Haijiao Lion opened his mouth, withheld the five thousand taels he brought, and asked for an additional five thousand taels, otherwise let alone do things for them, even he Zhu Lao Liu expected to go down the mountain with all four limbs.

In order to make his lie realistic, Zhu Laoliu took out a short knife used for self-defense and stabbed it into his chest...... Stopped when he was half an inch away from the skin and flesh, he killed himself, he really didn't have the courage, he walked the rivers and lakes in his early years because his family was poor and couldn't fill his stomach, to put it bluntly, it was called wandering, and it was not the chivalrous man in the novels that Shanbao read, thirsty, drunk, hungry, hungry, and sleepy, and sleepy Tianzi No. 1, the novel is also a joke, and it can't be taken seriously.

Since he didn't dare to kill himself, he went to Tianyun Town near Tianyun Village and spent money to hire a man named Hanako to stab him in the arm.

At that time, Hanako took the silver he gave and asked, "Do you need to mend the knife?" I give you a discount. ”

Zhu Laoliu: "......"

Finally, he didn't suffer in vain, and went back to say with tears in his eyes, Zu Baishou looked at his bloody arms, and really believed it, although he took out an extra five thousand taels like a piece of meat, but he didn't take another five thousand, the previous five thousand were lost, and he gritted his teeth, hoping that Shanbao was a woman with a prosperous husband, and he would be more rich and prosperous after passing the door.

It's just that Hu Haijiao didn't go down the mountain on the agreed day, and sent a letter saying that the government had recently sent troops to attack Tianyunzhai, and he was tired of coping with it and had no time to take care of this matter.

This delay dragged on for two months, Zu Baishou was impatient to wait, Hu Haijiao brought another message, asking Zu Baishou to prepare the five thousand taels he owed, recently, he was going down the mountain.

Zu Baishou was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked a kid to call Zhu Lao Liu to come over to discuss things.

Zhu Laoliu was also anxious, Shanbao would not marry Zu Baishou for a day, and he would not be able to ascend to the position of the head of the head of the head of the sect for a day.

It was noon, although it was winter, because of the sun, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, dogskin hats, sheepskin jackets, cotton and indigo, each wearing bloated, copied sleeves and shrunk his head and exhaled white air, coming and going, it was also lively.

The snow that fell for days, and the one that had not yet melted came next, because the snow on the ground had been crushed into a hard layer, and it was slippery to walk.

Zhu Laoliu's jujube red horse is a new horseshoe, but it is not slippery, but it is also laborious to run, only to slow down, meet a number of familiar people along the way, and have been in Lei Gong Town for some years, even if they are not famous, they are not general, they are all friends with the spring breeze, and they are just playing with each other.

"Zhu has a good ability, and he actually got a thousand-year-old ginseng."

He smiled: "The blessing of the old man of the mountain god." ”

"Zhu is so blessed that he has accepted a little concubine in the prime of his life."

He smiled again: "Thanks to you." ”

"Zhu Tou ......"

"Zhu Tou ......"

"Zhu Tou ......"

From time to time, he accepts the congratulations of acquaintances, keeps laughing and responding, and has been out of the customs for many years, and now he has finally mixed up with a famous hall, and he is happy, he sits down with his legs between his legs, and wants to hurry up to the ancestral compound, and when he becomes the head of the ancestral family, it will be more beautiful.

The jujube red horse rushed out vigorously, and only ran a few steps but was strangled by Zhu Laoliu on the reins: "Woo ......"

An old acquaintance came on the opposite side, it was Hu Bucheng, the head catcher in the yamen, who took a group of fishers, and he didn't see him for a few days, Hu Bucheng also heard that Zhu Lao Liu was developed, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Zhu Toutou, no, no, he should be called Master Zhu." ”

Hu Bucheng is a person in the officialdom, although his official position is low, no matter how bad the dog urine platform is, it will grow on the Jinluan Palace, so Zhu Laoliu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand to greet: "How is Hu Zhutou doing recently?" ”

Hu Bucheng drooped his bitter gourd face: "What a fart, the thieves and bandits in the customs are all running to our deep mountains and old forests, and the sea fishing documents are under one after another, and there are so many arresters in the Communist Yamen, can you catch them, no, I came to the official document again yesterday, the daughter of the famous divine doctor Shanxi, Jinan Mansion, Shandong, what is it called, oh called Shanbao, this little girl is not simple, she actually killed the son of the former prime minister." ”

Zhu Laoliu was a spirit, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the case of the good family was finally committed, but for some reason, it was so late that the sea fishing clerk came to Lei Gong Town.

Hu Bucheng saw that he looked panicked, and patted him with a smile: "You are very afraid, last time I went to your house to catch that good treasure, and then King Ling Chitose went to the yamen to say that he was wrong, and the magistrate reprimanded me for a long time." ”

He was referring to the time when Jin Se and Li Qingzhao were imprisoned.

Zhu Laoliu smiled dryly: "You don't know me all these years, I am afraid of smashing my head when the leaves fall, but I don't dare to harbor the murderer, although I also have friends with the surname Shan, but there are so many people with the same name and surname, and they are definitely not those relatives in my family." ”

Hu Bucheng nodded: "That's, don't talk much, I'm in a hurry to post the notice." ”

Zhu Laoliu hurriedly said goodbye, seeing that Hu Bucheng was taking people away, he stood in the middle of the road in a daze, his head was messy, and he didn't even know what to think, what should he say when he saw Zu Baishou later, Shanbao is the chief grandmother who Zu Baishou spent 10,000 taels to marry, and the murder was committed, Zu Baishou still dared?

Just as he was hesitating, someone greeted him: "Yo, isn't this Zhu Jiaotou." ”

Zhu Laoliu followed the sound to look, and saw that it was the son of the ancestral family, Leizi, and greeted him back with a blank voice: "Look at you, you seem to have come back from outside." ”

Lei Zi straightened the luggage on the horse's back and said: "Yes, I went to the capital with the second young master to take the exam, and the second young master won the civil and military double champion, I came back first to report the good news, and I was in a hurry to go home, so I didn't talk to you." ”

Zhu Laoliu nodded blankly.

Lei Zi hit the horse and walked away before he reacted, Zu Gong was slightly the champion, or the champion of civil and military affairs, and the next thing was to be in a high position, so he was afraid of him as a former prime minister.

He was suddenly happy, and it was a blessing and a curse, unpredictable.

Turned over and got on the horse, and felt that it was wrong, now Zu Gongluo did not come back from the capital after all, once the yamen found out that Shanbao was in his own home, he would be sat down, and Zu Baishou also had to give an explanation, sooner or later he would know about it.

I was anxious and lost my ground, so I simply went to sit in a wine shop on the street and sorted out my thoughts.

came out in a hurry, dropped lunch, shouted that Xiao Er asked for half a catty of beef, a plate of peanuts, plus a pot of old wine, and poured himself a stoneware bowl to drink, thinking about his thoughts.

Just as he was in a trance, someone suddenly shouted to him: "Sixth! ”

He felt so familiar, and looked up suddenly, it was Zu Gongluo's personal servant Mengzi, and shouted that he was not Mengzi, but the good joy standing next to Mengzi.
