"I heard that Uncle Zhao Guo is on the same page with Rongguo Mansion again!"

"Last time, it was the Jia family who admitted it, but this time it may not be."

"If you want to follow me, then Uncle Zhao is shallow-eyed, and he jumped out in a hurry, and he didn't want to think about how people would give birth to a son......

"Shut up!"

Huang Bin turned around and shouted, and the dark alley was suddenly silent, replaced by a **** from across the road.

Silently tidied up the half-new robe on his body, took out dozens of coppers from his sleeve bag, thought about it, Huang Bin gritted his teeth and exchanged it for half a penny of silver, and then stepped out of the alley, stepped on the snow half a foot deep, and went straight to the opposite side.

At this time, there is actually some distance from the dark, but inside and outside the courtyard, it is already brilliantly lit.

"Uncle, you're here!"

As soon as he got closer, a thin turtle boy greeted him with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to let in: "Hurry up, hurry up, please come inside - you are here today, we have made a few new songs in the building, keep you comfortable listening!" ”

"If you just listen comfortably, what is Lao Tzu doing here?"

Huang Bin smiled and crossed the door, and saw that the position of the door facing him was a wide staircase, and after going up more than a dozen steps, it spread out left and right like goose wings.

Around the T-shaped staircase, on the first floor are seven or eight wine tables, and two small platforms for singing and dancing talents; The second floor is large in the east and small in the west, with about 20 rooms.

Huang Bin stomped off the snow on his feet, glanced left and right a few times, and saw that although there were not many people in the hall, they were scattered sparsely, and it was even more difficult to avoid people's eyes and ears.

So after a moment's hesitation, he walked towards the staircase in the middle.

"Uncle, please above."

Seeing this, the turtle who was in charge of greeting hurriedly hurried a few steps to the front, and while slanting his shoulders flatteringly led the way, he introduced: "We are divided into guest rooms and private rooms upstairs, needless to say, the private rooms are not only convenient for playing tea, but also have all kinds of equipment available, including your ......."

"How much does a private room cost?"

"Eat tea for four dollars of silver, and order the girl to set up the banquet." When the turtle man said this, seeing that Huang Bin stopped, he hurriedly added: "The guest room is much cheaper, one hundred and fifty wen for half an hour, and three hundred eldest sons for the night." ”

This is not a cheap place!

Huang Bin's distressed liver trembled, he was just a low-level official before, and he was in the Qingshui Yamen of Dali Temple, and his monthly income was only two taels or six dollars of silver, and he was often deducted by his boss.

Now that I think so, I may not be able to order two prostitutes in a private room with a month's salary.

"Then ...... guest"

Left and right came over this time, not to sleep with any famous prostitute, Huang Bin was about to retreat, choose a quiet guest room, and make do with the errand first.

"Hey, downstairs is Huang Bin's virtuous brother?"

At this moment, a condescending voice came into my ears.

Huang Bin looked up, and was dazzled by the wealth and nobility of that body.

I saw that the master who greeted him with his mouth was covered with a large cosmos brocade with black lines and a red background, and on the silver belt with a palm-wide waist, there were three rows of chisel flower and mother chain buckles, which were all made of bright gold, and they were shining brightly under the lamp.

Looking at the hand again, the jade wrench finger and the cat's eye ring were so thick and big that the five fingers couldn't be gathered.

It's so rich!

But......

Who the hell is this?

You don't seem to know him, do you?

Huang Bin was stunned here, but the man had already strode up to meet him, stretched out his big hand holding the wrench and ring, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a grin: "How?" Brother Huang doesn't remember me? Last time at Second Master Sun's house, the two of us drank at the same table, but we talked very happily. ”

Second Master Sun's house?

Huang Bin knows the second master Sun, and he is just that.

However, he was very sure that he had definitely not been at the same table with the person in front of him.

And this man told such a lie to his face......

Yes!

The name of 'Second Master Sun' is what he really wants to say.

Huang Bin's mind was racing, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It turned out to be Brother Ren!" This...... It's hard to recognize. ”

In the admiration, there was a little cringe, as if he had really met an old acquaintance who had become rich.

Some appreciation flashed in the eyes of the person opposite, and then he waved his hand at Gui Gong with a big grin: "Go, go, this master doesn't need you to greet - let's go, brother, let's go up and drink two cups!" ”

With that, he went to the second elegant hall in the east with Huang Bin.

This is actually a long room, divided into two rooms by a blue gauze cupboard, and there are tables, piano tables and other things in the outer hall; There are a lot of shadows inside, and in addition to a large bed, there seem to be some other equipment.

If it was placed in normal times, Huang Bin would definitely not be able to help but take a look at it, but right now, all his attention was on the person in front of him.

The man also knew that Huang Bin was vigilant in his heart, so as soon as he entered the door, he bowed down and reported to his home: "In Xia Hongjiu, I have seen Huang Zhutou." ”

When Huang Bin heard this name, he didn't feel a move in his heart, and blurted out: "Hong Jiu? But Shanxi Lane Hongjiu? ”

"Exactly down there."

It turned out to be a beggar's head!

After receiving Hong Jiu's affirmative response, Huang Bin was in a trance at the moment - in this world, beggars look like dogs, but they are a hundred times worse than officials!

Although he knew that it was out of place, Huang Bin couldn't help but feel a little jealous and unwilling.

However, Hong Jiu's next words immediately made him put all his strange thoughts back.

"Huang Zhutou, please sit down."

Hong Jiu raised his hand and motioned for Huang Bin to sit in the first place, and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, Hong was instructed by Sun Shaoqing to assist in investigating the case. ”

No wonder I mentioned 'Second Master Sun' just now!

Since he knew that it was his own person and that Sun Shaozong had specially sent him, Huang Bin naturally didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and pushed each other, and after the guest and host sat down, he hurriedly asked: "Hong Baochang came first, have you ever asked for any clues?" ”

Hong Jiu shook his head and smiled: "It's just a foil below, how dare you make an assertion?" Besides, if there is something involved with the thieves here, if you accidentally startle the snake, what face does Hong have to meet Huang Zhutou? ”

This is a cautious one, no wonder he can do things under Lord Sun.

Huang Bin inadvertently praised himself, and then asked Hong Jiu where he was going to start.

Hong Jiu refused to make up his mind at all, and obeyed orders with all his mouth.

His attitude naturally made Huang Bin quite satisfied, and he decided to pretend to be seeking revenge in the rivers and lakes first, and called the old bustard here to inquire about Duan Qing's details.

The plan was decided, and the two immediately went their separate ways.

Hong Jiu pushed the door and went out, shouting loudly to order the turtle to go and find the old bustard, while Huang Bin rolled up his arms and sleeves, putting on a disbelievable and angry look.

After a while, the bustard here rushed over with a handkerchief and twisted and twisted.

This old bustard is about his early thirties, and he can see that he was also a good looking person when he was young, but now his body and bones have been blessed, round and white and greasy, just like a steamed bun.

"Two uncles......"

Syllable~

Before she could finish speaking, a gold ingot weighing ten taels was slapped on the table by Hong Jiu.

The old bustard was originally squinting and smiling, but when he saw the silver, his two eyes suddenly widened, and he entangled ten fingers on his belly, looking like he wanted to reach out to take it, but he endured it, and subconsciously asked: "Uncle, what are you ......?"

Hong Jiu said with a stiff face: "Uncle Jin originally came to be a fortune boy, but my brother has something to ask you - if you are kind of words, the uncle is naturally willing to spend money." ”

Syllable~

Before the words fell, Huang Bin also slapped on the table, and your old bustard hurriedly stared at it, but saw that the table was empty, not much, not less.

was disappointed, and saw Huang Bin stepping on the stool again, shaking his arms and making a sound: "But if you don't open your eyes and have to block for others, then don't blame the uncle for not being emotional!" ”

This is said to be violent, but the old bustard can support such a business, but he is not frightened.

At the moment, he covered his mouth and let out a series of coquettish smiles: "Yo, what did the two masters say, our Man Tingfang has always been kind and wealthy, if you don't deliberately come to find fault, don't say that it is the upper two eyes, that is, the lower two 'eyes', which also means that if you open it, you will open it!" ”

This gag hides a knife in it, and it is obviously relied on.

Fortunately, Huang Bin and Hong Jiu didn't come here to provoke trouble, so they pretended not to hear the meaning, and continued to sing double reeds with a glance at me.

"Don't worry, although the uncle is looking for revenge, he is not here for you - that Tie Niu Duan Qing, I heard that he has been away for a while?"

"Duan Qing? It turns out that the two masters are looking for him - this kid is not a thing, he has been gone for a long time, and he has caused trouble in our store! I knew I shouldn't have taken in that white-eyed wolf in the first place......"

When the old bustard heard the word Duan Qing, he flickered a little at the moment, and while looking at him left and right, he swept his eyes on the silver ingot, and then rubbed his hands together.

Hong Jiu quietly pushed the silver forward, and then took out the identical ingot from his sleeve and put it in its original position.

"Oh, this man is really open! And that's not even saying anything, how can I let you break the bank, this is really ...... What a ......."

The old bustard shouted happily, grabbed the silver ingot in his arms, and rubbed it lovingly, but his two eyes stared directly at the second ingot.

Hong Jiu grinned slightly, and said indifferently: "Our brothers are not short of silver, but I don't know if we can spend it." ”

"Don't worry, this money can be spent!"

The old bustard said, took half a step back, and said with a smile: "You two wait, I'll go and call Duan Qing's good look, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask her!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the silver on the table a few more times, and then reluctantly left.

"What a cunning woman!"

As soon as the old bustard went out, Huang Bin couldn't help but scold: "She obviously knows some hidden secrets, but she is afraid of offending Duan Qing or someone else, so she took the money herself, but pushed the trouble on someone else's head!" ”

Hong Jiu was not surprised, took a sip of tea, and said: "If she doesn't have this bit of fancy, how can she support the Nuo family?" As long as we can ask some clues, it doesn't matter if she is loyal or traitorous. ”

When Huang Bin heard this, he realized that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly restrained his emotions and sat back in his place to introspect.

To say that he is also moody on weekdays, but not to mention the ups and downs in the past few days, and now he bumped into a beggar who was thousands of times richer than himself, and he felt a little unbalanced.

Seeing this, Hong Jiu asked with a smile: "Huang Zhutou two years ago, did you ever hear of Hong Jiu's name?" ”

Without waiting for Huang Bin to reply, he answered himself again: "I think I hated dogs on the street at the beginning, if it wasn't for a lawsuit, I happened to be promoted by Lord Sun, and now I am afraid that I would not know the smell of the ditch." ”

"I'm still like this as a beggar, not to mention that Huang Zhutou is from an official background?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly: "Zhao Jianxiao of Shuntian Mansion, you should know it, right?" Originally, I had been catching fast for more than ten years, and I had no hope of being motivated, but then I just voted for Lord Sun a few days earlier, and now I am a serious court official! ”

Although being enlightened by a beggar always made Huang Bin feel a little awkward.

But he was a sensible person in the end, and solemnly arched his hand at the moment: "Thank you for the reminder, Huang doesn't want to be like Zhao Jianxiao, if he can live up to Lord Sun's cultivation, he will already be satisfied." ”

Hong Jiu smiled, and was about to say a few words of modesty, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and he closed his mouth again, putting on an impatient look, waiting for the old bustard to come in.

"Let the two masters wait for a long time!"

After a while, the old bustard really pushed the door in, first glanced at the silver on the table, and then looked back at the prime minister with a smile: "Qiuyu, hurry up, come in and see the two masters." ”

In response, it was a thin and petite woman, but her temperament was not very cowardly, and when she entered the door, she saw the silver ingots on the table, and her waist, which was originally slightly stiff, suddenly rippled like a snake.

A few steps to get closer, and said with a sigh of relief: "Qiu Yu has seen two masters." ”

Hong Jiu looked her up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "It's also quite a bit of a posture, come and come, come to the master's arms to talk." ”

That Qiu Yuyuan is not a Qing Pavilion person, otherwise how would he hook up with Duan Qing?

Therefore, when he heard this, he was not hypocritical at all, and stepped forward and sat directly on Hong Jiu's lap, and he was close to each other, so he took the tea and sent it straight to Hong Jiu's mouth.

"Master, you moisten your throat first."

Hong Jiu did not refuse, drank the tea, lifted the placket of his clothes with his big hand, and greeted Qiu Yu's heart, holding it steadily, and then raised his chin at the old bustard, and said, "You go down first." ”

"Hey!"

The old bustard agreed, his eyes rolled wildly, but he took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "Then this silver, I will collect it for her first." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed it.

I never thought that Huang Bin came first, rushed to intercept the silver, and weighed it one by one: "Since we took out this silver, we didn't think about taking it back, but you have to wait for us to be satisfied." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what you always say!"

The old bustard grabbed the air, but he didn't feel embarrassed, he responded with a smile, turned his head and explained: "Qiuyu, these two masters are all distinguished guests, you must be careful to wait." ”

"Mom, don't worry, my daughter saves."

Qiu Yutou didn't reply, and his eyes fell with the silver.

Seeing this, the old bustard obediently retreated and took the door with him.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Huang Bin spread the silver in his palm and held it up in front of Qiu Yu: "I heard, you are a good friend of Saitie Niu Duan Qing?" ”

Hearing the name and surname of 'Duan Qing', Qiu Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "Phew! He who dies without conscience, the blind man is reconciled with him! ”

Huang Bin asked again: "So, you have broken off contact with him?" ”

"Isn't it!"

Qiu Yu didn't think about it and said: "Since the conscienceless person didn't work here, I haven't heard from him anymore!" ”

"Hehe......"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Hong Jiu laugh: "Is what the girl said true?" ”

"Of course it's true!"

"Then why is your heart beating so violently?"

Hong Jiu said, his hand suddenly tightened, and his face became hideous: "Say, when was the last time he came to you?!" What were you talking about at the time?! Are there any people around?! ”(https:)
