Section 246 Autumn Fu (11)

"I don't want revenge!" Gou Chengxuan was originally extremely afraid of thieves, and when he returned to the county, he just wanted to use the "darkness under the lamp" to sneak up and lurk, waiting for an opportunity to inquire about his father's news, and then see if there was a chance to retrieve the iron box that Gou Er had sunk into the well - as long as he had the treasure in this box, it would not be too late to go away and fly high. Now after listening to the bewitchment of the Lai brothers, the resentment in his heart has also fermented, he was originally calling for wind and rain in the county, what a majestic person, but now he has a home and does not dare to go back, and has become a beggar and steals his life, thinking of this, he is full of hatred.

To get revenge kao own liliang. Gou Chengxuan went to Guangzhou with his father this time, but the matter was not done, and he had seen a lot, and he knew that it was a pipe dream to count on the imperial court - the affairs here in Lingao were not out of control, and the officials in the imperial court were too lazy to pay attention to it.

Gou Chengxuan has followed his father and uncle since he was a child, and Gou Jiazhuang has taken in many outlaws on the rivers and lakes, and he knows a lot of various ways on the rivers and lakes, and knows that it is wishful thinking to make trouble under the noses of thieves at the moment, so he can only hide first and then wait for the opportunity to move. For this reason, he and the Lai brothers have been hiding in this remote Fubo Temple. He had some money in his hand from a foreign family, and the skill of a three-legged cat, and the other beggars who were resting here were all subdued by him, and did exactly what he commanded—of course they did not know who he was. Unknowingly, he fell into the county town and made a gang of beggars.

Gou Chengxuan was very careful, in fact, he rarely even went to Dongmen City, and only moved around the county town -- thieves here rarely came, and even if they did, they were a small number of people, and they were particularly dazzling in the crowd, and it was easy to distinguish them, so they could avoid them in time -- and only took the opportunity of begging along the street with the Lai brothers to inquire about the news of the county.

In the past few days, he has mostly known about the various measures of the crossing group in the county. Gou Chengxuan knew that this group of Australians had no small ambitions, and most of them still had the heart of rebellious ministers and thieves, and he was very happy. If it's just a simple black eating black, your own family will be wronged to the bottom of the sea - of course, in the eyes of others, it should be called deserved - but the thief is obviously going to rebel and rebel, or three or five years, the court must come to suppress! As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will have merit in responding to them, and the day of turning over will come!

Recently, the matter of crossing the group to collect grain through Chen Minggang also reached his ears. On weekdays, when he was begging, he learned a lot of information about the dissatisfaction of the big families from the porter cooks of the big households. This change made Gou Chengxuan feel that the opportunity had come. He instructed his subordinates to hurry to the county school to inquire about the news--he was a student himself, and he knew that scholars were always the most enthusiastic about current affairs.

After thinking about it carefully, Gou Chengxuan decided to make a name for himself in the county school. It just so happened that Wang Ci had a lot of money recently, and he planned to hire a few miscellaneous servants for the county school. Because of his young age, Lai Xiao's reputation is not as bad as his brother's, and he puts on a pitiful face, so he gets mixed with this errand. Therefore, Huang Yukun's activities in the county school are clear to Gou Chengxuan.

Adhering to the concept that the enemy of the enemy is an ally, Gou Chengxuan thought that he could win over Huang Yukun, he thought about this idea for a night, the Huang family father and son are big families in the county who have a blood feud with the thief, and the revenge of killing the son and killing the brother, he believes that the Huang family father and son will never forget. The Gou family and the Huang family, although they were not on the right path in the past, after all, they have never fought with real swords and guns.

"Young Master, isn't it too risky? In case that kid from the Huang family betrays you......" Brother Lai advised. Lai Da proposed to talk to Huang Yukun himself.

"It's okay! Your grid is too low, Huang Yukun will find it difficult to believe you, I have to go out in person. Gou Chengxuan said with confidence, "Don't worry! The Huang family not only has a blood feud with the thieves, but they are also the ones who contributed the most to the thieves in the first place! Liu Dalin is just giving advice, but the Huang family is shirtless, just for this, and the Huang family and the thief have to be incompatible. At most, he ignored me, and would never sell me. ”

Seeing Huang Yukun go away. A smile appeared at the corner of Gou Chengxuan's mouth. When it comes to the color of watching people, he is a hundred times stronger than this son of a good family who cultivates and reads a family, and at this moment, he has already seen the panic and hesitation in Huang Yukun's heart...... There's a drama in this matter!

He quickly got up and went into another alley - the heart of defense is indispensable. Gou Chengxuan walked around the deserted street and cold road with his back on his back, and after an hour he saw that there was nothing unusual before returning to Fubo Temple.

This Fubo Temple, or the Ming Dynasty Hongwu period to build, the pattern is not small, before and after three courtyards. Now only the main house of the second entrance and the house of the first entry of zuihou are still intact, and the others have long since collapsed into rubble. The walls were even more dilapidated, and there were holes everywhere. The yard was full of weeds. No one has ever walked through this place even during the day, and it is extremely deserted. It's a good hiding place.

Gou Chengxuan and Lai Da occupied Zuihou as soon as they entered the house. He is now the leader of the "beggar gang", and it is not uncommon for a beggar to serve by his side. The other five or six beggars lived in the front one. Gou Chengxuan symbolically accepted a little of their share, but in fact, he often helped these people run errands and do some errands for themselves. But for the time being, I don't dare to ask them to do their own business.

As soon as I came back, I saw Lai Xiao coming back. He had cleaned up and was waiting for him in the house.

"Young Master!" Seeing him come back, Lai Xiao opened his mouth and shouted.

"Don't call me young master, you're going to kill me!" Gou Chengxuan's face sank.

"Yes, yes, the little one forgot again, Chen Tou!" Gou Chengxuan named himself "Chen Ji", implying that he did not forget his hatred. He hurriedly reported to Gou Chengxuan that in the county school just now, Huang Yukun tried to mobilize the scholars to get up and write about things that could not be done.

“…… Except for Li Xiaopeng, who is a fool, the sourers are reluctant to come forward. ”

"Okay." Gou Chengxuan thought that if this was the case, the possibility of Huang Yukun, who lacked allies, joining forces with himself greatly increased. I put my actions today with the novel.

"It's a coincidence that he hit a nail today," Gou Chengxuan said proudly, "God really help me!" ”

"It is indispensable to guard against others." Lai Xiao proposed, "Young master, do you see if you can prepare a few more places, and you can hide as soon as there is a disturbance......

"Well, I've thought about it, but I can't think of another place for a while."

The population in Lingao City is not large, and there are many vacant houses. It is either an "official ancestral hall", or a variety of "official houses" built in the early years and now deserted, but half of these houses have collapsed and damaged, and they are uninhabitable.

"There are many empty barracks in the North Gate Elementary School Yard." Lai novel, "The small ones went to see it, and there are a few rooms that can still live in people." There are many houses there, like a ** array. And it's close to Chentou, your home is also close, and you might be able to go back and see ...... if you find a chance."

Gou Chengxuan knew that there was a large area of empty barracks near the blocked North City Gate, which was indeed a hiding place, but it was precisely because of the proximity to his home that he avoided it - who knows if the thief had set up eyeliner nearby? Moreover, now that he has the desire to take revenge, he has much less thought of taking treasure.

However, he didn't tell the Lai brothers about the treasure in the well, so he had to be prepared to see the wealth.

"It's not good there, maybe there are eyeliner staring, and the frequent comings and goings are eye-catching." Gou Chengxuan shook his head and said.

"It's okay to go over there."

The Qingjieyuan was a county house for the "festival women" who were determined to be widows, and this kind of half-official and half-civilian facility could not be maintained for a long time in the small county town with a sparse population and financial difficulties, and the houses were also deserted.

"Alright," he nodded, "I'll let your eldest brother go there first in the evening to prepare, and we'll have to have a cunning rabbit hole." ”

As he was talking, he saw Lai Da also come back. He was ordered to go to the city gate today to check the heads and notices, Gou Chengxuan did not dare to inquire about the bandits in the city, he just blindly listened to people's gossip, and did not hear about the death of Hu Rotten Eyes or his father. This reassured him somewhat of that. When he heard that there were the heads of the bandits at the gate of the city and a notice, he took care of Lai Da and went to inquire -- Lai Da recognized a few words -- to see if there were these two names on them.

"The little one has already seen it," Lai Dadao, "the heads are rotten, I can't see who it is, and the name in the bulletin is not nonsense and the name of the master!" Probably uneventful. ”

"This one is the best!" Gou Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The cottage is still there!" ”

"Then the little one will go and find out!" Lai Da volunteered.

"Okay, you can go and find out what is real." Gou Chengxuan wanted to be able to get in touch with his father, and he had more external forces.

"Young Master—" Lai Da muttered, "there is one more thing. ”

"Say it."

"I saw another post, it said, it said," Lai Da swallowed, "you have lost your talent and fame......"

Gou Chengxuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he was stunned for a while. Lai Xiao hurriedly helped him: "Young master! ”

"It's fine!" Gou Chengxuan blinked his eyes and waved his hand, but involuntarily sat down. The blow was too big for him. Xiucai fame is the most useful skin on his body, and it is precisely because of his skin that the Gou family can compete with the gentry in the county - otherwise they will always be just local tyrants. Because of this skin, wherever he goes, the government gentry have to be polite to him.

Now this skin of his own has been uncovered! In the future, he will be a "grass man" who will kowtow when he sees the county official, and he will be stripped of his pants and spanked if he says something wrong! The blow was so great that it nearly broke him. Lai Xiao saw that his face was changing, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out. Knowing that he was a little angry, he quickly took out the "Zhuge Marching Army" from his side and blew it into him, half a sound, and Gou Chengxuan came to his senses.

"Young master, don't get angry, this is already like this-" Lai Dazheng was about to persuade. Gou Chengxuan said weakly: "Don't say it." The way I am now, whether I have fame or not is not the same thing
