Chapter 41 Money is not everything

Zhu wanted to keep Zhu Lingbo's disappearance to a minimum, but the situation gradually got out of control and became more and more unpredictable. Therefore, this time Zhu Rui took the initiative to find Gu Yun, on the one hand, he wanted to use Gu Yun's official power in Qiantang County to search, and on the other hand, he actually semi-publicly reported the matter to the Gu family, hoping that they could help.

Back in Jingyuan, Xu You immediately found He Wei, and when he heard that Zhu's girl was plundered and sold, He Wei was first startled, and then sneered, and said, "Which dog is blind and so bold?" ”

Now it is uncertain that the relationship between this trafficker village and the Baiwu merchant Li Qingyu and the He family is not presumptuous, Xu You did not jump to conclusions, and said: "Twenty-seven people, not one of them has been kept, and the Zhu family's methods are really too far behind Guo Mian." ”

He Wei has always been disdainful of the family, and said: "The four surnames of Wu County have enjoyed a hundred years of blessings, and there are many factions in the gate, people are floating and bloated, and they have long forgotten how to deal with emergencies. My own girl has been missing for almost two months, and she can't see anyone alive or dead, no wonder she has no face to reveal it to the public, it's just ridiculous and generous, and it makes people feel gimmicky. ”

Xu You also felt that Zhu's performance in this matter was unsatisfactory, but the hundred-year-old Huamen, the background is still there, and he can't overturn a boatload of people because of one thing, and said: "By the way, its wings, you have traveled the world and are well-informed, have you ever heard of such a plundering thief who treats death as home?" ”

"Everyone is afraid of death, it's nature! It is not for nothing that there are people who can die calmly, the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the virtuous monks, the righteous people of Xinnuo and the Confucian Confucians, when faced with the situation of death, can be killed calmly with a smile. In addition, there is another kind, that is, the members of the sect who have been bewitched! ”

Xu You raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect this, compared to He Wei's quick thinking, sometimes there was still a big gap, and said, "Sect members? Heavenly Master Dao, or Buddhism? ”

"It's hard to say, but Heavenly Master Dao is the best at seducing people's hearts, I once witnessed the Wushui riot in Yongzhou, shouting Taoist words in my mouth, you can be afraid of swords, guns, water and fire, go to death before and after, the fanaticism and madness in your eyes make people shudder......"

He Wei fell into deep thought, his eyes flashed with a complicated look of confusion, shock, excitement and a hint of bloodthirstiness, and said: "That feeling, words can't say clearly, one day Shichiro may encounter it in the future, and then you will understand the meaning of my words." As for Buddhism, although these monks also like to instill the Buddhist principle of karma in people, they are not comparable to the Tao of the Heavenly Master in terms of seducing people's hearts, just like a child who can just walk. Do you think, since the Han Dynasty, only the Heavenly Master Dao likes to gather people to rebel, raise their arms and shout, and those who respond are obedient, but who has ever heard of a group of monks rebelling and killing people with bare heads? ”

"Reasonable!" Xu You said with a smile: "Monks like incense money, so that the believers can give alms, make offerings, and save fields and houses, covet happiness, and are not very interested in power." ”

"However, the strange thing about this matter is that whether it is the Heavenly Master Dao or the Buddhist Sect, they are no longer the shabby appearance when they first founded the Sect, and they have their own money-raising business and ways, so they don't need to do such things that are not tolerated by heaven. Of course, it's not that the Heavenly Master Tao and Buddhism are clean and flawless, but once the matter of plundering and selling loved ones is exposed, it will definitely be evil in the world and spurned by others, which will really do more harm than good, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Xu You agrees with him, the two sects have a lot of money, and although the profits from the plunderers are high, the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate, Sun Guan and Zhu Daorong are the top figures in the world, and they will never be stupid enough to dig their own graves.

"So, I wonder if this gang of thieves could be some kind of secretive, unknown Protestant ......"

"It's also possible!"

Xu You has always admired the ability of Chinese people to create gods out of thin air. At this time, the north and the south are opposed, the war is chaotic, the people are generally pessimistic, lack a sense of security, and urgently need spiritual sustenance.

However, it is useless to entangle these things at present, and they must find their stronghold in Qiantang to decide on their next move. Zhu Lingbo was plundered, Xu You was just a bystander, whether it was the Gu family or the Zhu family, they had the strength to solve problems and settle troubles.

Xu You asked casually: "How is the progress of the winter solstice follow-up gate?" ”

"Shichiro is too anxious!" He Wei smiled and said: "It's only been a few days since she took over, even if she is a genius, it is impossible to make any major progress." First of all, have a preliminary understanding of the peripheral operation of the damper, and maintain the few nails that are pierced into it, and it is already very good not to show the horse's feet! ”

Xu You also smiled and said, "You're right, I'm anxious!" Let her do it slowly, don't seek merit but no fault, Fengmen and we are not enemies at the moment, and maybe they will become friends in the future. ”

He Wei thought for a while and said, "Do you want to inquire about Zhu Lingbo's whereabouts through the damper?" ”

Xu You shook his head and said: "The group of people who kidnapped Zhu Lingbo are mysterious and secretive, and the wind gate is also a divine dragon, we are in the light, they are in the dark, it is too much to suffer, it is better not to provoke." If they really kidnapped Zhu Lingbo to Qiantang, with the Gu family and the Zhu family joining forces, not a single bird would be able to escape, and there would be no need to make extraneous branches. ”

He Wei didn't say anything anymore, he had no interest in Zhu Lingbo, whether he was missing or plundering, he was just a stranger, but her identity was very interesting, if she could help rescue people, the first choice Zhu would owe a lot of favors. However, what Xu You said also makes sense, the enemy is dark and I am clear, their current strength is insufficient, and if they rush into it, they are likely to fall into it and cause countless troubles.

In the final analysis, the world is a business, the benefit is in me, and I have to do it after fighting for the family, and the benefit is not in me, even a penny cannot be wasted.

While talking, Frost and Autumn Equinox walked in, and Autumn Equinox cared about Baihua and asked, "Xiaolang, is there any whereabouts of Baihua?" ”

Before the trial of Hong Qi in the county hall, he confessed that he sold the hundred paintings to a merchant from Ningzhou, but he had only met this businessman three times. It is impossible to say that he brought the hundred paintings back to Ningzhou, or he may have taken them to the sea to buy the goods, and if he wants to find them immediately, there is no doubt that it is impossible to find a needle in a haystack.

“…… Since this merchant with an unknown surname loves to make friends and will inevitably leave a lot of traces in Qiantang, Feiqing has ordered Du Sanxing to pay close attention to find people who know him, and then inquire about the whereabouts of Baihua...... Ah, not good! ”

Lu Shuang hurriedly walked over and said, "Xiaolang, what's wrong, are you not feeling well?" ”

Xu You waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, frowned, and said to He Wei: "Zhu Lingbo is Zhu Gu's top priority, Du Sansheng must put all his energy on this matter, and he may not be able to find a hundred paintings with all his heart." We can't sit back and wait, we still have to take the initiative to find clues, so let's wait for you to go to see the winter solstice, and let her go to follow the wind gate to do the first business......"

Finding a hundred paintings is not a day's work, Xu You temporarily put down his thoughts, let the autumn equinox find Fang Kang and Fang Sinian, and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you still used to living in the past two days?" ”

Fang Sinian was very happy, and nodded busily, as if he was afraid that Xu You would drive her out, and said, "Get used to living, get used to living!" He smiled and said, "Lang Jun, you are so powerful, how can you have such a big house?" There are also those stone mountains and ponds, which are not as tall as Youhe Mountain, nor are they clear as Xiaoshenxi, but for some reason, they feel so beautiful in their eyes, so beautiful! ”

Aesthetics has always been very personal, and what you like, I may not like. Fang Sinian is illiterate, authentically illiterate, but simple and innocent, clean mind, and can touch the aesthetic truth hidden in the landscape and countryside, so even she is full of praise for Jingyuan, which shows that this garden is really wonderful.

"It's all a credit for the money!"

Fang Sinian pursed his lips and said, "Money? Lang Jun bullied me as a wild girl in the mountains, people say that money is the most vulgar thing in the world, and the nobles in the city don't like to talk about money......"

"Who taught you?" Xu Youqi said, there are no scholars in Youhe Village, where did Fang Sinian hear about it?

Wan Kang on the side said embarrassedly: "Some time ago, a storyteller came out of nowhere, and told the story of the white lady for three days. ”

I see!

Xu You laughed and said, "I'll teach you a sentence, money is not everything, but no money is everything!" You ask me why I have such a big house, and why the stone mountain pond water is better than the green mountains and green water, in fact, it is all piled up with money that is higher and heavier than you. Without money, we can't buy these rocks, we can't hire craftsmen to polish and build, and we have no money, so we can only sleep on the streets! ”

"If you don't have money, you can't do anything, you can pick up your own stones, you can build your own mountains, and as for the pond, it's the simplest, dig a pit and pick up some water to pour it in, and it becomes a ......."

"Okay, you're right!"

Xu You was afraid that it would be dark if he talked to her, so he said, "In this way, you and your father will go out with me, maybe there will be a chance for you to see what the money is for!" ”

The shopkeeper of Sibaofang is named Yan Shujian, who has three daughters and no children, and the daughters are all married to women, and there are few contacts. The old wife died of illness five years ago, and a small concubine is still there, guarding Sibaofang without any intention of expanding the business, also because there is no child to inherit the family business. This old man has an open-minded temperament and a good temper, at least Fang Kang has never seen him sprinkle fire with his subordinates. But for so many years, because of Liu Zhengyang's death and the fact that he is not very clear with Liu Zhengyang's wife, he has been criticized by his neighbors, and he has been talking about the length of the relationship behind his back, and his popularity is not very good.

After Liu Yan returned from making a fortune in Guangzhou, he opened Jubao Zhai across the street and wantonly poached the waiters and craftsmen of Sibaofang, which not caused controversy in the countryside, but a large number of people were watching a good show. After all, for thousands of years, in everyone's cognition, it is natural for a son to avenge his father. But no one wants to think about whether Yan Shujian is really a murderer, and whether there is another hidden story in it, but you can't blame it too much, the people who eat melons focus on eating melons, rather than exploring the truth, which is the same throughout the ages!

After getting the information he wanted from Fang Kang's mouth, Xu You had a little more confidence in persuading Yan Shujian, and when he arrived at the door of the store, he happened to encounter more than a dozen rangers making trouble, and the leader was Tang Zhiyi, who had seen him in Youhe Village.
