Chapter 25 Shenzhu Boy (II)

Lu Zhufeng made a successful move, swept the black-faced monk down, never thought that the monk could jump up and fight hard after breaking his foot, the momentum was rapid, unexpected, and he was not afraid of this sudden change, he was stunned for a while, and he actually watched the monk fly up, the situation was very critical. Bu Yuan saw it clearly in the back, and when the black-faced monk bounced back, he flew away, knocking the black-faced monk who had already pounced in front of Lu Zhufeng away, ** shattered, and he couldn't come back again. Lu Zhufeng was shocked into a cold sweat. The Yumantang over there didn't expect the brave Lu Zhufeng to fall from the sky, and the situation suddenly changed, and he was already frightened and fartful, and the two big men who saw that the situation was not good hurriedly helped him onto the horse, and ran away with a group of thieves, throwing the sluggish young man and his own god son aside, and they couldn't care about it.

In a fierce battle, the thieves retreated, Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian dismounted and happily stepped forward. Lu Zhufeng hadn't eased up on the back of the cow at this time, shook his head and said to himself: "This black monk is so powerful, he can still jump up if his foot is broken." It's dangerous! It's dangerous! Seeing Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan coming, he hurriedly jumped off the back of the cow. Bu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Zhufeng's hand, and said in surprise: "Good brother! I didn't expect you to be so powerful on the bamboo pole in addition to your divine power! If the elder brother hadn't fallen from the sky and came in time, the brothers wouldn't have survived. Lu Zhufeng also said happily: "Brother Bu has a good slingshot, if he hadn't knocked the black monk away and pounced on me, I wouldn't have been able to wrestle with him, but Brother Bu saved the life of the younger brother." ”

Fang Guohuan was shocked for a moment, and said to Lu Zhufeng gratefully: "This catastrophe is not dead, it is all due to the merits of the virtuous brother, and the great kindness is not grateful...... By the way, how did the virtuous brother know that we were in trouble and rushed in time? Lu Zhufeng said sincerely: "Shicai broke up with the two elder brothers, and the younger brother was reluctant for a while, so he drove the herd and followed, wanting to look at the two elder brothers a few more times, but unexpectedly encountered these strong men who blocked the way, and saw that the two elder brothers were going to suffer, so they drove the herd and rushed up. When Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan heard this, they were so moved that they almost cried. Bu Yuan said excitedly: "Good brother! What a good brother! At this time, Qu Ning'er hugged Qu Liangyi tightly in the carriage, and the driver who was so frightened that he was paralyzed in the carriage had not yet recovered from his panic.

Bu Yuan exclaimed at this time: "Good brother! Riding a bull can also fight, it really convinces you. Lu Zhufeng said: "I don't have a horse to ride, my little brother often rides on the back of a cow and fights at home, and this cow is very obedient." Bu Yuan said: "Good brother, hugging the cow and the pig has brought out the divine power, how did you get the ability to sweep people on the bamboo pole like cutting watermelons?" Tell the eldest brother to listen to it, and find one to practice in the future, it's really amazing! You can sweep the world! Lv Zhufeng said: "When I was a child, I grazed pigs and cattle, and often had to cut some pigweed and cattle feed, but the knife cutting was time-consuming and laborious, so I used the grazing bamboo pole to sweep some tender grass. After a long time, I also swept a large area, brushed together, more neat than the knife cut, I don't know how many bamboo poles were destroyed, the years are long, sweeping some trees is also very handy, and I don't need a firewood knife when I beat firewood. ”

When Bu Yuan heard this, he was surprised: "Be good! The elder brother herded pigs and cattle, and he actually released such a miraculous skill! Your owner is a great hero. Lu Zhufeng said again: "The little brother has a surname and no name, and the villagers saw that my bamboo pole was dancing very well, whirring the wind, and the wind and rain were impenetrable, so they called the little brother Lu Zhufeng." In the mountains, forests and wilderness, there have also been tigers and leopards to eat pigs and cattle, but those beasts have not been beaten, they seem vicious, a scary look, it is really like a dough pinched, a poke and die, so no interest, only with today's black monk to fight has strength. Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan were stunned. Bu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "My brother's ability to resist tigers and wolves and sweep people and horses can be said to be unrivaled in the world. ”

At this time, two horses galloped from the main road, and the people on the horses were two servants from the yamen, and there was an official sedan chair in the distance, escorted by dozens of messengers, who were coming to this side. When the two officers came closer, they saw the bloody scene, and one of them exclaimed, "What happened?" Dead so many? Have you been robbed? Bu Yuan said with a smile: "This errand officer is right, I met a group of strongmen just now, and I have already dealt with it ourselves." The two officers were shocked when they heard this, one of them hurriedly turned his horse head and flew to the back, and the other officer said: "My county lord is going to the countryside to handle the case, passing by here, you have been robbed, and you will have to tell the truth to my lord in a while, whether you have escaped from other strongmen, and you can be arrested." The messenger couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw that Bu Yuan and the others had no scars on their bodies, and that there were only three young people, who had killed more than a dozen robbers on the ground somehow.

At this time, the county magistrate behind got the news, hurried up, and saw more than a dozen corpses and some cattle and horses all over the ground, and exclaimed: "The territory of this county has always been stable, how can these strongmen come out?" How did you defend yourself? Seeing Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan's dress and a carriage carrying people next to him, the county official knew that it was a passing guest who was walking far away, but he had some doubts about the scene in front of him.

Fang Guohuan stepped forward at this time and saluted, and said, "The little citizen Fang Guohuan has seen adults, and when I passed by here, I encountered a group of robbers. "Robbers?" The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this, "This gang of robbers is here to rob people?" Why do you want to rob people? Who robbed whom? Hurry up and tell the truth to the county. Fang Guochuan said: "Back to my lord, do you know that the Ruyi Divine Doctor is full of jade?" "Jade Divine Doctor?" When the county official heard this, he was surprised and said, "He is a well-known doctor in this county, with superb medical skills, but his reputation is a little worse, he is unwilling to treat the poor, and he specializes in treating rich people, which often makes people bankrupt, what does this matter have to do with him?" Fang Guochuan said: "A few days ago, there was a magic schemer named He Yuyan in Guixian County, who was strangely gouged out of his brain and thrown his body in the lake? The county official was shocked when he heard this: "Yes, the above is ordering the county to investigate this case, but unfortunately there is no clue, is it ......?"

Fang Guochuan said: "The murderer is this Yu Mantang, he secretly kidnapped the 'God Operator' He Yuyan, and then performed a kind of transfer of gods and brains, and changed He Yuyan's brain in his son's brain, so that he can have that kind of divine calculation ability, this person is here." After speaking, as soon as he pointed at the sluggish young man on the side of the road, the county officials and the servants were immediately stunned. The county official was stunned, and hurriedly said to Fang Guolian: "Wang Peng of this county, I don't know what Fang Gongzi said is the truth?" Fang Guochuan said: "Xiaomin didn't dare to say anything, Shicai Yu Mantang led a group of thieves to rob one of our friends, and wanted to take his brain in exchange for others, but fortunately, two brave brothers repelled the group of thieves, and only then did they save the day." ”

Wang Peng was surprised: "It turns out that a few heroes are heroes who repelled robbers, admire and admire!" The stakes in this case are very high, can Fang Gongzi and the two strong men dare to testify in court? Fang Guojian said: "In order to get rid of this evil doctor, I will go to the local harm, and I am willing to go back to the county with the adults to testify." Wang Peng heard this, nodded, glanced at the sluggish young man on the side of the road a few times, and said: "I have heard that Yu Mantang has many sons, but most of them are stupid, and others still think that the doctor is not autonomous, and the consequences of no virtue are all Yu Mantang who gave them someone else's brain, and his heart is too poisonous, which is outrageous." ”

Fang Guochuan said at this time: "Lord Wang, it hasn't been long since Yumantang escaped from the case, without further ado, I hope that your Excellency will order a quick arrest." Wang Peng said: "That Yumantang raised some dead friends in the village on weekdays, but it is not easy to deal with. Then he wrote a warrant to report the emergency, and handed it to an errand officer: "You immediately ride a fast horse and quickly inform General Zhang Hao, the garrison of this county, that he led 500 soldiers to Nanshan this morning for a drill, and has not yet returned to the camp at this time, so quickly ask General Zhang to lead his troops to the village in Yumantang to get him." The messenger received the order, mounted his horse and galloped away. Wang Peng sighed at this time and said: "I really didn't expect that Yumantang could do such a hurtful thing, in the nearby states and counties, even famous people disappeared, and most of them were hollowed out of their brains and thrown into the wilderness, which caused panic among the people and has already alarmed Jinan Mansion." It turns out that the murderer is hidden in this county, and it is actually a wishful doctor, which is incredible! Incredible! Then he ordered the officers to investigate the scene.

Lu Zhufeng went to the woods to find his herd of cattle, two of them died, and one was lost, so he wondered how to explain to the owner. Wang Peng listened to Fang Guohuan tell him what had happened at this time, and couldn't help but praise Lu Zhufeng, and said happily: "I didn't expect that there would be you as a warrior in this county, and this time you will retire from thieves and make meritorious contributions, and this county must reward you." Lu Zhufeng said: "In order to save the two elder brothers, I have to fight for my life, although I lost three cattle, and then I can pay off the debt with the cattle that the owner has been herding for decades." Bu Yuan said with a smile: "That owner is so blessed, he has a brave person, and he doesn't know it yet!" Where will I herd cattle with him in the future, let's go with my brother and go to the world to see and learn. ”

Lu Zhufeng said happily when he heard this: "Being with the two elder brothers is really a happy thing in life, but ......" Fang Guochuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother Xian, everything is arranged by my brother." Then he said to Bu Yuan: "Brother Bu, you and Brother Lu Xian drove the cattle back to the owner, and then compensated for the loss of the three cows, and some more silver with the owner, and ransomed the free body of our brother Xian." When you two go to the county to look for me, the younger brother will first take Mr. Qu and them to the county to settle down and help Lord Wang Peng testify in the case. Bu Yuan said: "Great! Leave the matter of Brother Zhufeng to me. Then he drove the cattle with the joyful Lu Zhufeng. At this time, Wang Peng ordered someone to continue to clean up the scene, and then took the son of the god of Yumantang, and returned to the county seat with Fang Guohuan and others, and along the way, he was amazed and grateful for the case of Fang Guojuan's case of sending Yumantang.

Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng drove the herd of cattle to a village, and returned the cattle to the rich man in the village, Bu Yuan then said to him three hundred taels of silver: "One hundred taels of silver is enough to pay off your cow money and Brother Lu's debt, and the extra two hundred taels are grateful to you." Those cows have made great contributions today, and they will invite others to come to the herd in the future, Brother Zhufeng, I will take him away today. When the rich man saw the three hundred taels of silver in front of him, he was full of joy, knowing that although he had lost three cows, he could bargain for a lot of money, but when he heard that Lu Zhufeng was leaving, he was stunned and said: "Lu Zhufeng, why are you going, who will let my herd of cattle go in the future?" ”

Bu Yuan said with a smile: "Where is my brother's cattle herding material?" I'm going to take him home and shepherd the tigers, and he's the only one in the world who can control these beasts." The rich man was surprised and said, "Shepherd the tiger? Does he still have the ability? I provide him with three meals a day, what good can you give him? Bu Yuan smiled: "How about the salary of five hundred taels of silver a month?" Better than yours, right? The rich man was surprised, and said, "Five hundred taels? Dare to be good! Would you like to invite me? The old man will take care of you if you don't want to die. Bu Yuan smiled: "That's a group of fierce beasts, but you only have one life." Lu Zhufeng also gave him the bag of silver that Fang Guohuan gave him before, saying that he was repaying the kindness of three meals a day over the years, and then found a thick bamboo pole in the courtyard, and never took the cover, and followed Bu Yuan to go happily.

Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng arrived at the county seat and saw Fang Guochuan in the yamen, and at this time they knew that the garrison named Zhang Hao in the county had already led the officers and soldiers to raid Yumantang's house. It's a pity that Yu Mantang knew about the incident, so he didn't even dare to go home, gave up his family business, wife and concubine, and fled directly from his family on the road. I don't know how much money was squeezed from the sick family, the officers and soldiers confiscated all the property, and all the men and women in the family were brought back to the county for interrogation. That Yu Mantang actually had more than a dozen wives and concubines, but among the twenty-one sons he had, except for three young, the remaining eighteen people were all replaced by Yu Mantang's brains, all of them were like the young man before, with a dull expression, an indifferent expression, and a question that was not answered.

One of them didn't say anything during the interrogation, but Yu held a charcoal pen in his hand and scribbled some plum blossoms on the ground, which turned out to be very expressive. A clerk in charge of the pen in the hall was shocked to see this scene, saying that Tai'an had a good hand at painting plum Danqing, a year ago suddenly disappeared, no one alive, no corpse, dare to love the brain of the painter who was a wonderful hand Danqing was moved into the brain of this person by Yu Mantang "brain replacement technique". The words stunned Wang Peng and the other servants who tried the case, as well as Fang Guochuan and others. The other "brain changers" couldn't ask anything, as if only Yu Mantang could ask them to use other people's skills. Wang Peng knew that the case was of great importance, so he reported it to Jinan Mansion overnight, causing a sensation throughout Shandong for a while.

The case was subsequently judged, all the property of Yumantang was confiscated, and those maids, servants and wives and concubines were dismissed and sold. He also went down to the sea to catch documents, spread the text to all prefectures and counties in the world, and offered a reward for the arrest of Yu Mantang and other criminals. After this big case was solved, people were panicked, and some people who thought they were smart on weekdays were so frightened that they didn't dare to show off their skills in front of others. Some stupid scholars did not dare to seek medical treatment when they were sick, but there was a wave of "fear of doctors", which shows that doctors are not virtuous and harm others and themselves.

Fang Guohuan saw that Yu Mantang's case happened and fled, and went to a foreign country, he was very sorry, worried that this person would have to do some tricks on people in the future, but he admired Yu Mantang's medical knowledge and medical skills very much, and he was really in a dilemma. Fortunately, after this unexpected incident, there was no danger, and fortunately Lu Zhufeng, a brave person, Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan were particularly happy. As soon as the case was over, Fang Guohuan resigned from Wang Peng, the county official, and escorted Qu Liangyi all the way to Jiangsu with Bu Yuan and Lu Zhufeng. Lu Zhufeng was like a bird out of the cage at this time, and he was very happy to ride on a horse with a bamboo pole, and his joy was beyond words. Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan were also infected by his simple and innocent feelings, and they felt even more relieved, and the three of them were so unhappy along the way. Qu Liangyi is still the same as before, sleeping every day, but the closer to Jiangsu, the more stable her mood is. On this day, it entered the boundary of Jiangsu.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's say that Gu Sichen and Luo Kun, the apprentices of the Medicine King, have traveled to Guangdong since they assisted the officers and soldiers with Ge Yunxiang and Mi Qian in Dongting Lake to destroy the Dongting water thieves. This day to Meixian County, Gu Sichen took Luo Kun to visit a thousand Buddha Pagoda, Lingguang Temple and other places, when the master and apprentice two out of Lingguang Temple to return to the inn, suddenly heard someone behind him call: "The first two are Mr. Gu and Brother Luo?" When the master and apprentice looked back, it was their former friend Wang Yunping.

The old people were very happy to see each other, Wang Yunping hurriedly stepped forward to greet the master and apprentice of the medicine king, and exchanged some goodbyes. At this time, Zhang Lu bought some things and went back to Wang Yunping, and suddenly saw Gu Sichen and Luo Kun, and ran forward with a cheer, holding Luo Kun and making love, Luo Kun was also pleasantly surprised. Wang Yunping happily said to Zhang Lu at this time: "Go back and report to my uncle that Mr. Gu and Brother Luo have arrived." Zhang Lu responded and ran happily. Wang Yunping then led the master and apprentice of the Medicine King to the mansion where Wang Huai lived, and said, "How did Mr. Gu and Brother Luo have the honor to come here?" Gu Sichen said: "My master and apprentice are scattered people in the world, swimming with the wind, not choosing a fixed place, and today is also a leisurely here." ”

When Wang Yunping heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that Brother Luo has worshiped Mr. Gu as a teacher, which is really gratifying. Wang Yunping then said: "When I came back from Kanto, my uncle often thought of the two benefactors, if the two benefactors had not met us by chance in the past, the caravan's business might have been lost in the Kanto, and our lives might have to be folded in, and my uncle must have been very happy to learn that the two benefactors had arrived." By the way, the car of goods we deposited in the inn back then, can Mr. Gu and Brother Luo receive it? Luo Kun said: "Mr. Wang is a righteous businessman, and there is no shortage of goods in a truckload. Wang Yunping said with a smile: "When the two of us didn't have it for a long time, we took the first step, and the car worth thousands of gold of goods, how dare we dare to embezzle." Uncle said that it is a great blessing to meet the famous Mr. Yaowang in this life! Gu Sichen smiled.

At this time, a group of people ushered in on the opposite side, and Wang Huai was walking in front, followed by some former buddies. Wang Huai saw Gu Sichen and Luo Kun from afar, walked quickly, and said happily: "Wang had a dream yesterday, and when he saw the red light all over the room, he knew that there would be distinguished guests today, and he really responded." "I stepped forward and exchanged salutes with the master and apprentice of the Medicine King, and they were happy with each other. Luo Kun said with a smile: "Mr. Wang once said that the Great Wall is a feng shui dragon vein, and now he has a good dream that can foreshadow things, it is better to be a fortune teller, maybe it is faster than making money in business." Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Wang Huai then happily welcomed Gu Sichen and Luo Kun to his home. That Wang Huai has been a businessman for half his life, but he has also earned a lot of furniture, the house is vast, there are many houses, and there are groups of slaves, although he is not the richest man in Meixian, he is also a rich family. Wang Huai invited Gu Sichen and Luo Kun to sit down in the hall, and asked Zhang Lu to go to the inn where the two stayed to get the package, leaving the two to live at home.

After the guest and host used the fragrant tea, Wang Huai learned that Luo Kun had worshiped Gu Sichen as a teacher, and he was very happy for Luo Kun. Gu Sichen said at this time: "Mr. Wang still works hard at home, does he go to run goods outside the customs?" Wang Huai said: "Since I went to the border to get acquainted with Mr. Gu and Luo Xiaoxia, I went there again the next year, but the situation between the Jurchens and the border pass was a little tense, and the business was not good, so I never went out of the customs in the future." Luo Kun said: "Mr. Wang's family business has also earned so much, it is better to no longer work hard, but there is a knack for making money in business?" And tell me, when my family is poor, I can also understand some skills to make money. Wang Huai said with a smile: "Luo Xiaoxia followed Mr. Yaowang, what great skills can't be learned, how can I wait for these businessmen to drill the camp?" Gu Sichen said with a smile: "There are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, and it is good to let Kun'er know some ways to govern life." ”

Wang Huai said: "Wang just transported the things of the real estate to other provinces, where he exchanged some other goods and earned a few points of interest, and then went to the Kanto region to exchange for fur, ginseng, medicinal materials and other mountain treasures, and then increased a few points of interest." On the way back, I have the opportunity to make a few more, and then traffic back some goods that are in short supply in my hometown. A round trip, if you are lucky, will also pay more than ten times the interest. When Gu Sichen heard this, he nodded and exclaimed: "Mr. Wang's business book is shrewd, which not only benefits his own family, but also enhances the circulation of goods trade in the world. ”

Wang Huai suddenly sighed at this time and said: "It's not easy to say, thousands of miles away from home, you can't return home for half a year, if the business is smooth, the road is safe, and you are willing to endure some hardships at home, I'm afraid that you will meet a bad guy on the way, steal the goods, and don't worry if you lose the goods and money, and sometimes you will lose your life." This money is also not easy to earn, and every penny is stained with the blood and sweat of merchants, which is really not easy. Gu Sichen heard this, nodded and said: "Mr. Wang is very right, but this money is not easy to earn, but it is also stable, those who get rich with foreign wealth, depending on the money is easy to come and light, do not cherish it very much, and those who are less knowledgeable can not be used normally, so that they come quickly, go in a hurry, and finally empty people and money, this kind of thing is also common." ”

Wang Huai sighed: "Yes, but what we businessmen are afraid of is not the hard work of making money and the danger on the road, what we are most afraid of is that there are unscrupulous children and grandchildren in the family, and a loser will be born. We have a boss Zhu in Meixian County, and Wang is also acquainted, when he was young, he started from scratch, endured all kinds of hard work, earned a strong family business, and wanted to enjoy some blessings when he was old, and handed over a solid family business to his son. Who knew that the kid was not angry, pretending to be big, eating, drinking, fighting for wealth all day long, prostituting and gambling to make trouble, and in less than two years, Wanguan's family fortune was lost. Boss Zhu jumped into the well in a fit of anger, and now that kid has become a beggar, he can't even throw his relatives into it, and he is sad when he thinks about it, and he is even more afraid. ”

Gu Sichen said: "The family has thousands of wealth, I am afraid of unfilial piety, Lao Tzu earns money to enjoy, although it is true, it is also his own ** is not good, and his children and grandchildren are used to raising them to be arrogant and noble, so that something happened, and it was too late to regret it!" Wang Huai said: "Mr. Gu said very well, Wang has stopped his business in recent years, guarded a few shops, sent two dogs to the store to be a buddy first, and ate and lived the same as his subordinates at the beginning, so that his family suffered some hardships first, understood that money was not easy to come by, and had the idea of diligence and thrift, and then let him slowly manage the shop, and finally take control of the family business." Although the method is a little stupid, the effect is also there, which is also a lesson from Boss Zhu, which makes Wang more cautious. When Gu Sichen heard this, he exclaimed: "Mr. Wang teaches his son to run a family, and he has a method, and he is much more knowledgeable than those foolish businessmen who have become inferior to their sons." Wang Huai said with a smile: "Mr. Gu has won the award." ”
