Finding a way to lure the ugly son of Captain Shan to a remote place, let Fan Xu, who was already a robber, chop him up with a knife, and then take the opportunity to carry out his next plan, this is the idea of lack of morality that Xiang Kang pondered in the guest house of Shiling Pavilion.

Or on the way home from the pavilion overnight, and then continued to ponder the detailed steps of the plan, Xiang Kang found that he was a little too over-taken for granted, because the most critical point was difficult to do - that is, how to lead Shan Fan, the ugly son of Shan Youwei, to a remote place to do it? It must also be a place where Fan Xu can quickly get out after making his move.

Of course, if you don't care about other consequences, there is no way, Xiang Kang can come forward in person, and under the pretext of negotiating to settle the ownership of the little girl of the Yu family, he deceived the ugly son of Shan Youwei to a suitable place, and let Fan Xu, who was ambushed there in advance, jump out and chop him up with a knife. But in this way, Xiang Kang himself will of course be involved, not only will he definitely be arrested and questioned by the government, but even Zhou County Ling and Feng Zhong will find it difficult to shield Xiang Kang.

"I can't come forward, and I can't leave evidence of involvement, this matter can only be to find someone else to come forward, let others deceive that Shan Fan to a place where no one is, and let Fan Xu stand up and do it, so that I can stay out of the matter and continue my next move."

This is the conclusion that Xiang Kang came to on the way home, but after returning to his dilapidated courtyard, he sat by the stove and racked his brains for a long time, but Xiang Kang never thought of any ideal good way, and he was a little sad for a while. But fortunately, Xiang Kang is a very flexible person, and suddenly thought of such a solution, and said secretly in his heart: "Why did I drill the tip of the horns?" Didn't expect to combine the first step and the third step into one step? It is reasonable to deceive that Shan Fan to a place where there is no one, and take the opportunity to pull the Lao Yu family into the water, so that his family and the Shan Right Lieutenant have a common enmity, so that I can force the Lao Yu family to move their family to Shiling Pavilion? ”

After gradually having an idea in his heart, and carefully considering the steps of the plan, Xiang Kang found that he still lacked a person, a person who was absolutely reliable and trustworthy, so he asked him to come forward to act under the sign of the Yu family, and at the same time, this person could not use the Xiang family brothers, but only strangers who neither the Shan family nor the Yu family knew. Then when he carefully calculated who to use to do this, Xiang Kang found with a sad face that he couldn't find half a suitable candidate in his hands, either it was inconvenient to do things, or he couldn't rely on it and didn't dare to entrust it with heavy tasks, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate after thinking about it again and again.

"If you think about it, who else can be relied upon to do this? Can my apprentice blacksmith trade my steelmaking method for him to risk it? No, I don't know my face, what if they sell me? I regret it, I should have cultivated a few capable and obedient younger brothers earlier. But it's useless to regret it, who told me that I had no money before, and what did I do to train my little brother ...... if I didn't have money or power? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiang Kang unconsciously fell asleep, and slept by the stove until dawn, and was finally woken up by the third uncle and aunt who cooked the meal. When he went to the third uncle's house for dinner, the children of the Xiang family were all present, but Xiang Kang didn't dare to mention it to the brothers, but he just remembered that he asked Aunt Chen to kill the dog for him, and invited his brothers to eat dog meat in the afternoon.

The children of the Xiang family could talk and laugh and wait for the afternoon drink, but Xiang Kang, who was busy by nature, did not touch the ground, not only got the blacksmith shop to supervise the apprentices to make ironware, but also had to discuss with Feng Zhong whether to give the knife to Fan Hao on credit. The result was not bad, because people in this era are more concerned about integrity, and under Xiang Kang's skillful persuasion, Feng Zhong still agreed to give a credit knife to Fan Xu, who was under the banner of Pei County's official mission.

It was also a coincidence that after agreeing to give the knife to Fan Hao on credit, Feng Zhong, who was going back to take care of business, had just left on his front foot, and Xiang It came to the blacksmith shop on his back foot, pulled Xiang Kang aside and whispered: "Uncle Ji, the third father has a letter here, he has successfully returned to Uncle Han's house in Xiapi, I want us not to worry about him, and I want to thank you by name, he knows that the incident that day must be the way you came up with, saying that it bothered you." ”

Xiang Kang, who had never worried about Uncle Xiang at all, nodded, and suddenly his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Who sent the letter to the third uncle?" ”

"That Han Li last time." Xiang replied.

"Is he gone?" Xiang Kang hurriedly asked, and after getting a negative answer, Xiang Kang hurriedly ordered: "Go, leave him behind, and ask him to drink with us in the afternoon." If he wants to leave, he will say that I have something to ask him for help with, and ask him to stay. ”

Xiang Yi, who is a generation younger than Xiang Kang, is quite obedient, not only immediately went back to temporarily keep Han Li for Xiang Kang, but also took him to Aunt Chen's wine shop to drink with Xiang Kang in the afternoon. By the way, because something happened to the neighboring pavilion, Feng Zhong, who was already acting Youyou, was busy with official business and was unable to participate in this grand event.

That night, of course, Xiang Kang invited Han Li to his room to stay, and then in the dead of night when no outsiders were present, he made a small request to Han Li, who kept sending letters to his house on behalf of Xiang Bo. And because Xiang Kang's request was not dangerous to him, and because his master had a lifelong friendship with Xiang Bo, Han Li quickly agreed to Xiang Kang's request, and a net of heaven and earth was officially opened, gradually enveloping the head of the poor Shan Youwei's baby son Shan Fan............

…………

Let's take a look at the situation of our Shan Fan Shan Gongzi, the same as Xiang Kang guessed, the reason why Shan Youwei stared at Lao Yu's family, and said that he wanted to put Xiang Kang to death, the main reason is that Shan Fan Shan Gongzi has always been obsessed with the beautiful daughter of the Yu family, and he said that he wanted to marry Yujian's daughter into the room to continue the string, and he forced his father Shan Youwei to hurry up and find a way to let himself hold the beauty as soon as possible. No, this day Shan Gongzi is here again.

“…… Ah Weng (Dad), why did you go to Yanjiting to ask me for marriage that day? Didn't you promise me that you would let me marry the beautiful daughter of the Yu family, and you promised that you would help me clean up the broken child with that surname? How do you talk without words? Talking doesn't count? ”

has been pampered since he was a child, people in their twenties, and they have been married once, Shan Fan Shan Gongzi still spoke in front of his father Shan Youwei's tone of voice is still like a coquettish child, and he also grabbed Shan Youwei's arm and shook it constantly, as if he hadn't grown up yet. The self-inflicted Lieutenant Shan was anxious, and said coaxing and deceiving: "Soon, quickly, good son, give Ah Weng some more time, Ah Weng promises that you will be able to marry that little sister of the Yu family, and I will definitely be able to clean up the broken child who doesn't know the height of the sky for you." ”

"When is that going to be?" Shan Gongzi raised his voice a little and said, "What if the time is delayed for a long time, what if the broken family first becomes a relative to the little sister of the Yu family?" ”

"No, this Ah Weng can guarantee that it will not." Lieutenant Shan replied quite confidently: "Ah Weng has already sent someone to inquire clearly, the uncle of the broken son later brought the wild goose to the door to set a marriage, and the surname Yu also used the excuse that his daughter was too young and didn't want to set the date too early, so it was clear that he didn't look down on the broken goods, so you don't have to worry, the little sister of the Yu family will definitely only be yours." ”

After that, Lieutenant Shan lowered his voice a little and said: "It's just that you can't strangle your original mother-in-law to death for a little thing like last time, do you know how much effort Ah Weng spent to help you clear your name?" ”

"Ah Weng don't worry, that little sister of the Yu family is so beautiful, I can't even hurt it, so I'm willing to strangle her to death?" Shan Gongzi replied casually, and said coquettishly: "Ah Weng, when will you be able to help my little sister of the Yu family marry her?" I'm twenty-one, how long do I have to wait? Aweng, you don't want to hug your grandson early? ”

"Don't worry, give Ah Weng a little more time, Ah Weng is thinking of a way. Okay, you stay at home obediently, Ah Weng I'm going to the official temple, don't run around every day, especially don't go out of the city casually, the people in the city know you, don't dare to mess around, those mud legs in the countryside don't know you, what if it hurts you? ”

Like coaxing a child, it was not easy to coax the adult son who had already performed the crown ceremony, and the busy Shan Right Lieutenant took two servants to the county temple to run an errand, and Shan Gongzi, as usual, led a few gangs to go out to wander the streets, molested a few girls walking on the street, pushed and beat a few pedestrians who accidentally blocked his road, and saw if there were any new things in the market, and also went to the Nulu (brothel) to check the service work of the special industry in Ling County, and was happy. The quality of life is far higher than that of the children of the Xiang family, who also travel around every day and are idle.

This day was a little different from usual, after entering the women's house, before Shan Gongzi could choose a candidate for a temporary partner, a young man in his twenties suddenly came in outside the door, walked directly in front of Shan Gongzi, nodded and said, "Shan Gongzi, the little one has greeted you." ”

"Who are you? Do I know you? Shan Gongzi asked in confusion.

"Childe, you are a nobleman, and you probably forgot about the little one." The young man said with a smile: "When you visited my master Yu Gong in Yanji Pavilion, the younger one once met you. The villain's name is Yu Duo, he is a servant of the Yu family in Yan Jiting, and on the order of my Yu Gongzi, I specially came to the city from Yan Jiting to meet Shan Gongzi and bring a message to Gongzi. ”

After that, the young man who claimed to be Yu Duo lowered his voice a little and said, "Don't be surprised by Shan Gongzi, because the matter is urgent, the little one inquired all the way and found it directly. But please rest assured, the little one won't talk nonsense when he goes back. ”

Considering the Yu family's opinion of themselves, Shan Gongzi also received this Yu Duo's affection, and while recalling whether he had seen this Yu Duo, he asked, "Your Yu Gongzi, what is the matter with sending you to me?" ”

"My son-in-law asked the little one to bring a message to your son, and I want to meet you alone with Shan Gongzi." Yu Duo replied respectfully: "Talk a little about Shan Gongzi and my sister (miss)." ”

"Your son-in-law, do you want to talk to me about your sister?" Shan Gongzi was a little surprised again.

Yu Duo was quite shrewd, and did not immediately answer Shan Gongzi's question, but first looked at the other outsiders next to him, Shan Gongzi understood, and immediately waved away the female Lu boss next to him and the prostitute waiting for his choice, Yu Duo also lowered his voice a little, and said: "I dare not deceive Shan Gongzi, in fact, my son-in-law is very willing to give my sister-in-law to Shan Gongzi you, but my sister-in-law is not happy to do it, and my master does not let go, so my son-in-law does not dare to be the master." So my son-in-law wants to discuss with you Shan Gongzi alone, how can I persuade my sister to change her mind and let my master agree to this family business. ”

"Really?" Shan Gongzi was a little happy and asked, "Your son Yu, are you really willing to marry his sister to me?" ”

"Of course." Yu Duo smiled and said: "What are the benefits for our Yu family to form a relative with Shan Gongzi, and what are the benefits to my son-in-law, my son-in-law understands better than anyone else." So my son-in-law said, please don't worry, you and my sister-in-law's family affairs are wrapped up in him. ”

"Your son-in-law is smarter than your master." Shan Gongzi finally showed a happy smile, patted Yu Duo's shoulder and said, "Go back and tell your family Yu Gongzi, just say that after I become relatives with him, I will never forget his brother-in-law." ”

"The little one understands, and the little one must bring the words." Yu Duoyi nodded and said, "Shan Gongzi, if it's convenient, how about you go to the Yazui Wei south of Yanji Pavilion tomorrow?" My son-in-law will be there tomorrow to supervise the maid's spring ploughing, so it is convenient for you to meet and talk with Shan Gongzi alone. ”

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome." Shan Gongzi waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow I will ask your son Yu to come into the city to see me, and my son will invite him to drink." ”

"Shan Gongzi, don't you know how strict my master is with my son-in-law? He dared to leave the spring ploughing and come to Ling County to drink? Yu Duo smiled bitterly, and said: "Especially the last time my son-in-law went into the city to sell grain, he was almost compared to the city, and my lord did not allow my son-in-law to enter the city without authorization." ”

After that, Yu Duo added another sentence and said: "Of course, if you really can't pull away, then it doesn't matter, the little one will go back and report to my son-in-law as it is, let my son-in-law be busy for this period of time, and then find a way to go into the city to meet Shan Gongzi you, but Shan Gongzi, you have to wait, my family has a lot of fields, there are not ten days and half a month, I'm afraid I can't finish spring ploughing." ”

Shan Gongzi calculated, Yu Duo said again: "Shan Gongzi don't worry, I won't miss your business, even if the Xiang family goes to my house to propose marriage again in the past few days, my son-in-law will find a way to stop it, and he will not let the surname Xiang succeed." ”

Yu Duo's vague threat played a role, considering that he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, Shan Gongzi made up his mind after a little calculation, nodded and said: "Okay, go back and tell your family Yu Gongzi, just say that I will definitely go to see him tomorrow." By the way, you just said, where are you waiting for me? ”

"The Yazui Wei south of Yanji Pavilion." Yu Duo repeated the location, and said very carefully: "Shan Gongzi, my son-in-law still has a small request, when you go to meet him, don't invite your father, my son-in-law doesn't dare to meet with the right captain." ”

"Why?" Shan Gongzi asked casually.

"My son-in-law is afraid that as soon as he meets the right captain, he will immediately force him to lead you to my master." Yu said with a sad face: "The temper of the right captain, my son-in-law has already seen it, and if the two sentences are not right, he will lose his temper, in case my son-in-law has any offense in his words, the right captain will start a fire, and my son-in-law really can't afford to be guilty." ”

"If it weren't for the sake of your son-in-law's face, just based on what you little son said, my son-in-law would have punished you!" Shan Gongzi smiled and said: "But forget it, my Ah Weng sometimes has a bad temper, I won't tell Ah Weng about this for the time being, and I will go to see him alone tomorrow." ”

Yu thanked him a lot, but he didn't say goodbye immediately, and said with a salivating face: "Shan Gongzi, my son-in-law also said that he won't let Xiao Bai run this time, isn't it ......?" ”

"Little shaft, dare to ask for a reward from my son." Shan Gongzi understood Yu Duo's overtones, but he was in a good mood but didn't bother to worry about Yu Duo, so he just asked the servant to take a string of Qin and a half taels to Yu Duo, and Yu Duo thanked him happily, and then he said goodbye and left.
