At this time, the owner of Gao Zhuang called the housekeeper and said: "In our village, there is no fresh meat to entertain the guests, and I instructed the kitchen to cut the half-cut pickled pork in the cellar, add spices to cook, and a jar of local rice wine, so that the guests can drink, relieve fatigue, sleep well, and continue to travel tomorrow." Again, ask the servants to lay straw on all the two empty rooms, so that the guests can stay for one night, alas! Our Gaojiazhuang entertains guests like this, and it spreads out, and the old man has no face! ”

Zheng Zixing heard this, and hurriedly said: "The old owner doesn't have to blame himself, it's also the junior's presumptuous disturbance and disturbance, please forgive me!" ”

The steward, who was also an industrious man, directed the handymen to unload the wagons, place them in a corner of the garden, lead the horses to the backyard, feed them with the best feed, and then go to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

After a while, they saw that there were five tables in the open space in the courtyard, and when Zheng Zixing and they sat down around the table, the kitchen sent five large plates of fragrant stewed pork, although it was a little salty, but with spices, it was still a delicious appetizer.

The servant poured a large bowl for each of them, and said to the owner, "Master! Butler! The two of you also accompany the guests to drink two bowls, so it is not considered to be slow to treat the guests! ”

"This is natural, although the dishes are not good, but the old man understands the way of hospitality!"

As he spoke, he sat down at Zheng Zixing's table with the housekeeper, Zheng Zixing held a large bowl of rice wine in both hands, stood up, and saluted the owner of the high village: "Junior, thank you for the hospitality, please forgive me for the disturbance!" ”

The owner of Gao Zhuang also stood up and said, "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it? The hospitality is not good, and the old man is ashamed! ”

As he spoke, he touched the wine bowl with Zheng Zixing, and the two drank it all, Zheng Zixing made another bowl with the housekeeper, and then sat on the stool and drank slowly with everyone.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Zixing chatted about common words and asked in a low voice: "Old owner!" Why didn't you see your family? ”

"The eldest prince's whole family is doing business in Duanzhou City, and he has sent people back to pick him up to enjoy Qingfu several times, but he has refused, what a pity!" The butler said.

The owner of the high village said: "People say that the leaves fall back to the roots, the old man is used to living in the village, he is too lazy to move around, and there is you, the old housekeeper, by his side, what is a pity?" ”

"My father also opened a Zheng martial arts hall in Duanzhou City, when he goes to visit his family, he might as well go there, my father is also a hospitable person, speaking of the reason, I will definitely warmly receive your old man!" Zheng Zixing invited.

The owner of Gao Zhuang said happily: "It turns out that Zheng Gongzi is also from Duanzhou, and the dog family opened a Gaosheng business house in Duanzhou. ”

"The trust of the old owner, the juniors must remember it, dare not forget, please relax!" Zheng Zixing said sincerely.

At the second watch, after the men were full of food and drunk, they helped each other back to the room, lay down on the floor and fell asleep, and after a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of snoring like thunder.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Zixing quietly got up, walked to the window, heard the sound of "hey" in the village, and found that more than a dozen black shadows rushed to the carriage in the courtyard, and only one of them said: "Boss! That's their goods, see if it's worth it? ”

Zheng Zixing found that this person was very much like the servant who poured wine for everyone, no wonder he was so enthusiastic, and persuaded the owner of the high village and the housekeeper to drink, it turned out that he put the sweat medicine into the wine, turned the guys numb, and then attracted thieves to steal these goods.

So, a few thieves hurriedly untied the ropes, lifted the linoleum cloth, took out a round wall lamp, handed it to the thief boss, in the hazy moonlight, he looked at it in detail for a while, and suddenly said: "Is this the legendary mutton fat jade of my peers?" ”

Along the way, Zheng Zixing was often robbed by thieves, all because they regarded fluorescent wall stones as mutton fat jade, which attracted killing, to be honest, these fluorescent wall stones are more tender, hardness is not enough, and after a million years, it will really become a rare treasure, fluorescent jasper stone, at that time, the price will be ten times that of mutton fat jade.

When the servant heard this, he danced with joy and said, "Now we will make a fortune!" This life as a sent servant will come to an end forever! ”

The thief boss hurriedly stopped: "Fan Lao Wu, don't be too happy, in case you wake up these escort guys and owners, you will be in a big disaster!" ”

"Afraid of what? They, the owner, and the housekeeper were all drugged by me in the wine, and by the time they woke up, we had already gone away! Fan Lao Wu said indifferently.

It turned out that these dozen or so thieves were all habitual bandits who were wandering around committing crimes, and after they finished a major case, they immediately hid separately and disappeared without a trace, so that the government could not find clues and could not arrest them.

In recent years, the government has been investigating robbery and theft cases tightly, which has made these thieves feel that they are all soldiers, like frightened birds, and they are in fear.

In order to hide his identity, three years ago he found a job in Gaojiazhuang, and became an inconspicuous servant, on weekdays, he was submissive to the owner and housekeeper, and he was obedient, and all the people in the villa were deceived by him, who would have thought that a soft-spoken, weak and weak servant turned out to be a Jiangyang thief?

When Zheng Zixing was drinking last night, he found that something was wrong, thinking that the owner of the village instructed his subordinates to do it, and used Meng Khan to numb him and his friends, and then destroyed the corpse and destroyed the traces, and took this batch of goods as his own.

At this time, the guys heard movement outside, and they all got up from the bunk, gathered around Zheng Zixing, and watched the situation outside with bated breath.

Fan Lao Wu whispered: "Boss! When I took a few men to bring the horses, put them in the wagon, and opened the gate, when they woke up, they didn't know that we had run to the hill and hid, and it was impossible to recover the goods! ”

Zheng Zixing suddenly swept out of the window, and as soon as he stepped on the "Seven Peerless Walks", he had already arrived at the gate of the villa, blocking their way, and the guys also opened the door and poured out from inside, holding swords in their hands, surrounding these dozen thieves in the core, if they wanted to escape from the swords of more than 30 people, it was already impossible.

"The problem is that you haven't even put on the carriage, you are already surrounded by us, and you can still run away there!" Zheng Zixing said sarcastically.

Can these dozen or so evil thieves, treacherous and cunning outlaws, be captured with their hands tied?
