In the middle of the night, there was silence in the Jingshi, and from time to time there were a few dog barks, which were then stopped by the master's house.

When Cao Wei came to Huaxu, he saw Zhang Heling sitting on a chair with a gloomy face, and below him kneeling two men in black clothes, their bodies trembling slightly, their foreheads slammed on the ground, and they didn't dare to raise the slightest. After hearing the footsteps, the bodies of the two trembled even more.

When Zhu Houzhao knew that Hua Xu was almost burned, he was shocked and angry, and he wanted to break the thief's body into ten thousand pieces.

The two thieves were also stubborn, no matter how Zhu Houzhao kicked them, they didn't say a word, which made Cao Weigao look at them twice.

Cao Wei stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Houzhao and said, "Don't be angry, let's figure out the situation first." Master Hou, what the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Heling arched his hand towards Zhu Houzhao and Cao Wei, and said: "Yesterday Huaxu opened, there was a person whose words were more extreme, and it seemed that he was here to find fault.

The opening of a new store will always cause some trouble, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I sent someone to keep an eye on Tang Hui, and also sent additional subordinates to inspect the wind and grass around Hua Xu.

Today, my subordinates reported that two people had been secretly observing at the door of Huaxu for a long time, and the old man felt that something was not right, so he asked his subordinates to cheer up in case something changed.

Sure enough, just half an hour ago, the two of them took advantage of the darkness and no one, took the fire fold, and quietly touched the door of Hua Xu with two bundles of dry firewood on their backs, and were about to let go of the burning shop, but were caught red-handed by my men.

The two of them were also stiff-mouthed at first, and they didn't open their mouths no matter how they asked, but then some of my subordinates recognized them, and I threatened them with their relatives, so I pried their mouths open, and they were really sent by Tang Hui......"

Zhu Houzhao was furious, stepped forward and kicked the two people lying on the ground a few times, and said, "This Tang Hui, this palace is going to kill him!" ”

Cao Wei squatted on the ground and said with a smile: "What's your name?" What is the relationship with Tang Hui? ”

One person raised his head slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain's name is Sun Quan, his name is Zhang Kun, don't hide it from this adult, the two of us don't have any serious work on weekdays, only do some stealing and touching dogs."

We didn't know Tang Gongzi's name before, and we didn't see Tang Gongzi himself. But last night, a man named Zhou Yong came to us for a drink......"

"Zhou Yong?"

"My lord, many of the people who do our job are fresh faces, they give money, we do things, it's as simple as that. We hadn't seen this Zhou Yong before, he asked us for a drink, and we knew that business was coming.

At the wine table, Zhou Yong said that there was a noble son who wanted us to do something, and after the deed was completed, we would give each of our brothers fifty taels of silver. Our two brothers were obsessed with money, so they agreed to this.

However, the villain had an extra heart, and after getting Zhou Yong drunk, he also came up with some words, this noble son in Zhou Yong's mouth is called Tang Hui, and he is the son of the Shilang family......"

Cao Wei sighed and said: "Ignorant, for the sake of fifty taels of silver, you have to commit the crime of rebellion, aren't you afraid of being beheaded all over the house......"

"Huh? Conspiracy? Sun Quan and the others were shocked: "My lord, we just burned down a shop, how could we commit the crime of rebellion?" ”

"Do you know who kicked you just now? He is the prince of our Ming Dynasty, and this shop is opened by the prince, you want to burn the prince's shop, isn't this a rebellion? ”

Sun Quan and Zhang Kun hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "My lord, we didn't know that this shop was opened by the prince, if we knew, even if we were given eight guts, we wouldn't dare to burn the prince's shop." This matter was done by our brother, and it has nothing to do with the family, and I ask you to let our family live, and the adults are gracious, and the adults are gracious......"

Not long after, two pools of blood appeared on the ground, and Sun Quan and Zhang Kun had already broken their heads and were bleeding, looking miserable.

Cao Wei snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that you can get the silver by burning this shop?" Don't lose your life if you don't get the money by then, and even the lives of your family. It's up to you whether you want to save your life or not......"

Sun Quan raised his head and said, "Please also show the way to the adult, the two of us will sell our lives to the adult in the future!" ”

"Do you know where this Tang Gongzi's home is? It doesn't matter if I don't know, the official will send someone to take you over, and after you go over, he will burn down his house......"

"No!" Zhang Heling hurriedly said: "You can't burn the official mansion, Brother Cao, burning the shop and burning the official mansion are two different things, you must not act rashly!" ”

If the storefront of the merchant is burned, at most, the Shuntian Mansion will send officials to arrest the bandits, and in the end, if no one is caught, it will be over. But if the official's mansion is burned, it will be a contempt for the law and discipline of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be a provocation to the entire Ming officials.

Cao Wei turned his head to look at him and said, "Isn't this revenge avenged?" ”

Zhang Heling looked at Cao Wei's cold eyes, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Cao misunderstood, I didn't say that this revenge will not be avenged, but that you can't burn the official mansion." As far as I know, this Tang Hui also opened a gold and silver jewelry store, called Cuijin Building, we might as well burn this Cuijin Building, what do you think? ”

Cao Wei said lightly: "Can you two understand?" You go and burn this Cuijin Building tonight, and then bring your family here to find this Shou Ninghou, and he will arrange it for you at that time. Go, tonight I want to see the monstrous fire. ”

Sun Quan and Zhang Kun thought that they would definitely die, who would have thought that they would be able to save their lives now, they were overjoyed at the moment, kowtowed, and said: "Yes, adult, villain, let's do it!" ”

"Wait! The official sent two people to go with you......" Cao Wei beckoned: "Lai San Lai Si, you two brothers also go to the Cuijin Building, since this Cuijin Building is selling gold and silver jewelry, the things in it must be worth a lot, you can bring out as much as you can, after bringing it out, seventy percent will go to the official, and the remaining thirty percent will be kept by yourself to live in the future." ”

Lai San muttered: "It's not fair, why are you seven and I ......"

"When you come back, the official will go and propose marriage to your two brothers."

Lai Sanxi said: "Okay, master, just take a look, our brother is known as the double flyer of the south and the north, and he will steal the cuijin building cleanly!" ”

After they left, the scene suddenly quieted down, Zhang Heling hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Cao, when Sun Quan and Zhang Kun come back, do you want to ...... them?"

Zhang Heling scratched his neck with his hand, showing a trace of ruthlessness on his face. Cao Wei shook his head and said: "Although they misbehaved, they still knew that they took care of their families after making mistakes, and they still had good thoughts in their hearts, so let them do things in Huaxu in the future." But their wages should be halved, and if they are willing to do things honestly, then their wages will be raised again.

This time, the gold and silver jewelry recovered by the Lai brothers was put on sale in Huaxu, where is the tallest building in this neighborhood? I'm going to enjoy the monstrous fire, is Hou Ye interested in watching it with me? ”
