Chapter 72: Lessons
Fish Hill Collection.
After Liu Juntao led everyone back to Yushanji, Hu Dexing was worried that Liu Juntao would retaliate against the hundred-hundred-household in Dong'e County, so he took Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to Yushanji together, wanting to stay in Yushanji for a few days.
In this regard, Liu Juntao naturally welcomed it, and deliberately vacated a few houses for hospitality to settle Hu Dexing and the three of them.
After that, Liu Juntao sent someone to find Liu Zi'an.
"Liu Zi'an?"
Hu Dexing hurriedly rushed over when he heard the news and asked, "Jun Tao, are you looking for Liu Zi'an to come over, don't you want to check the hundred households in Dong'e County?" We can't be rash! ”
Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Of course I want to check the hundred households!" This bastard not only deceived me of more than a hundred taels of silver, but also regarded me Liu Juntao as an idiot, how can this be reasonable! If I don't even let out a fart, how will I get a foothold in Yanzhou Mansion in the future! ”
"But he's a hundred! It's the official army! What can you do with him? We can't kill soldiers and rebel for this more than 100 taels of silver! ”
Looking at Hu Dexing's anxious appearance, Liu Juntao's heart warmed, knowing that Hu Dexing was sincerely thinking about himself, so he said with a smile: "Brother Hu, don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter." ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"I won't ruin the lives of those hundred households, I just want to teach him a lesson, that's all!"
Hu Dexing stared at Liu Juntao for a while, then sighed and said, "Alas! It seems that this time we went to Dong'e County for nothing! ”
Although Liu Juntao was also a little regretful, he still said with a smile: "It's okay! There are many good things, as long as our Yushanji continues to grow, I think those officials will also be close to us! ”
Four days later, Liu Zi'an received the news and hurried back from Zhang Qiuzhen.
After returning to Yushanji, Liu Zi'an came directly to Liu Juntao's house, and the two spent most of the day in the house.
During this period, Hu Dexing rushed over when he heard the news, wanting to see what Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an were discussing, but was stopped by Zhou Zongsheng, who was guarding outside the courtyard.
"Master Hu, there is always an order for practice, no one is allowed to enter! Please don't be embarrassed, Lord Hu. ”
"Anyone? Am I anyone? I am Liu Juntao's brother! ”
Seeing this, Hu Dexing was also a little annoyed, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder.
Zhou Zongsheng was not angry, and continued: "Master Hu is angry, just now Guo Yuanwai and Master Zhang also came to find President Lian, but they were all persuaded by me to go back. Please forgive me! ”
Hu Dexing didn't speak anymore when he heard this, but he didn't expect that even Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were stopped at the door, which made him even more sure of what Liu Juntao was planning!
Thinking of this, Hu Dexing didn't dare to slack off, for fear that Liu Juntao would do something out of the ordinary, so he found a chair and sat at the door of Liu Juntao's house.
"Good! I don't embarrass you, I'll just wait here! ”
Zhou Zongsheng smiled helplessly when he saw this, and didn't say anything.
About half an hour later, Liu Juntao and Liu Zi'an walked out talking and laughing, and they saw Hu Dexing sitting outside the door.
"Brother Hu, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Liu Juntao's innocent look, Hu Dexing was angry, got up and asked, "Juntao!" What are you going to do with the 100 households in Dong'e County? Give me a brief, so that I can be prepared! ”
Liu Juntao smiled when he heard this, and said, "It turns out that this is still the case!" ”
After speaking, Liu Juntao thought for a while and said: "I have already handed over this matter to Steward Liu, and Steward Liu will leave for Dong'e County in the next two days." Since Brother Hu is not at ease, then this is good, Brother Hu will work hard with Steward Liu, how about it? ”
Hearing this, Hu Dexing nodded without hesitation and agreed, and said, "Okay!" I'll take Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen with me! ”
Two days later, Liu Zi'an, Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen set off together and rushed to Dong'e County again.
Accompanied by Zhou Zongsheng's four guards and young men, everyone went all the way north, without any delay on the way, and it only took two days to arrive in Dong'e County.
After entering the city, Hu Dexing said to Liu Zi'an: "Steward Liu, since Jun Tao has already explained, this trip is mainly based on you, but I also have to say something first!" ”
Liu Zi'an smiled and asked, "Oh? What does Master Hu have to say? ”
Hu Dexing said with an unkind expression: "On this trip, we only need to teach the hundred households a lesson, first, we can't hurt their lives, and second, we can't do too much!" ”
"Haha!"
Liu Zi'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Hu, Mr. Lian has already explained to me, and I will never mess up this matter." ”
After speaking, everyone found an inn to live in under the guidance of Liu Zi'an, and then Liu Zi'an asked Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen to rest in the inn now, and he went out with four personal guards.
Since Hu Dexing had promised Liu Juntao that Liu Zi'an would be the main part of the trip, it was not good to send Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to follow Liu Zi'an, so he had to rest in the inn with the two.
Liu Zi'an and the others did not show up after leaving the inn, and only after the sky was dark did they return to the inn with four personal guards.
Hu Dexing hurriedly took Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to Liu Zi'an's room and asked, "Steward Liu, where have you been?" ”
"Let's step on the point, since we want to teach those hundred households some lessons, we must know his whereabouts, right?"
"How's that going?"
Liu Zi'an said with a smile: "It's almost touched!" ”
"And when are we going to do it?"
Liu Zi'an thought about it for a while, and then said, "I think we'll wait a few more days." After the hundred households came out of the thousand households, they went home directly, and these two places are not easy to do, and they still need to wait for the opportunity. ”
Hu Dexing also nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait a few more days." ”
After that, Liu Zi'an went out with four guards to follow the hundred households for several days, and several of them went out early and returned late every day, so that the whereabouts and living habits of the hundred households were clear.
Four days later, Liu Zi'an called Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen to his room, and said to the three of them: "Several, I have already figured out the whereabouts of the hundred households. ”
Hu Dexing said: "Okay, let's talk about it specifically!" ”
Liu Zi'an introduced: "The 100 households are all from the 1,000 households on weekdays, and then they go back to their homes directly, which are all bustling streets and alleys, and there are many people in the 100 households, so it's not easy for us to do it." ”
"However, those 100 households have to go to the Qinglou every three or two days to have fun, I calculated the time, and it is estimated that the 100 households will go to the Qinglou again tonight!"
Sun Xu asked suspiciously, "Isn't the land of Fengyue more lively?" How do we do it? ”
Liu Zi'an said with a smile: "How can this hundred households be regarded as an official and military general, and he is also a figure with a head and a face in this Dong'e County, and he always has to hide from acquaintances when he goes to the land of Fengyue." Therefore, when these 100 households go to the Qinglou, they all pick the streets and alleys, this is our chance to do it! ”
The three of them all nodded when they heard this, and then Hu Dexing asked, "Then when will we leave?" ”
Liu Zi'an calculated the time and said, "After an hour, let's go!" ”
North of Dong'e County.
In a dark alley, Hu Dexing took Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen to hide in it, quietly waiting for the hundred households to pass by.
At the other end of the alley, Liu Zi'an also hid his figure with four personal guards.
This alley is very long and narrow, and there is no entrance or exit in the middle, which is very hidden. Outside the north entrance of the alley, it is the famous Fengyue place in Dong'e County, which is very lively.
Meng Fanchen adjusted the black cloth covering his face, and whispered to Hu Dexing: "Big brother, it's already midnight, will the hundred households still come?" This Liu Zi'an is too unreliable! ”
Sun Xu next to him also frowned, although he didn't say anything, he was obviously a little suspicious.
Hu Dexing leaned against a corner of the wall and whispered, "You guys hide it for me, don't let people see it!" Since those hundred households are afraid of being seen visiting the Qinglou, it is normal to go out later. Didn't Liu Zi'an say that for convenience, the hundred households lived directly in the thousands of households, and they didn't even go home! Let's wait. ”
Suddenly, Meng Fanchen saw a dark shadow walking into this alley, and he should be a strong man.
"Big brother! Here it comes! ”
Hu Dexing also came to the spirit when he heard this, and hid in the dark with Meng Fanchen and Sun Xu.
After a while, the black shadow walked over and walked towards the north entrance of the alley, not noticing that there were three large living people hiding beside him.
Seeing this, Hu Dexing and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and quietly waited for Liu Zi'an's signal from the north entrance.
A moment later, Hu Dexing and the three of them only heard a loud shout from the north: "Stop! ”
The three of them immediately jumped out and blocked the entrance to the alley.
At this time, the black shadow was running towards this direction, and there were several people chasing after him.
"Ahh
The black shadow was also startled when he saw Hu Dexing and the others, and knew that he was surrounded, so he said loudly: "I am one hundred households in Dong'e County!" What do you do? Rebel! ”
The hundred households tried their best to pretend to be fearless, wanting to use their identities to scare everyone away.
However, where did Hu Dexing and Liu Zian pay attention to these?
Liu Zi'an stepped forward and said, "What we are waiting for is you!" ”
"Ahh Who are you? What are you going to do? ”
Liu Zi'an sneered and said, "We heard that you are not authentic, so we came to clean you up!" Say! Do you want to live or die? ”
"Isn't it authentic?"
The hundred households suddenly cried and said: "I am just greedy for some money, sometimes I don't help people after receiving money, all these years, I don't know how many people I have offended." Guys, who are you guys from? Don't hurt my life, I'll give you money! ”
Hearing this, Liu Zi'an, Hu Dexing and others were a little stunned, it turned out that they were not the only ones who were harmed by this bastard!
"Humph!"
Liu Zi'an snorted coldly and said, "Since the Lord of the Hundred Households is so happy, then we are welcome!" ”
After speaking, Liu Zi'an waved his hand, and the four guards behind him stepped forward together, pressed the hundred households to the ground, and searched out all the silver and ornaments on their bodies and handed them to Liu Zi'an.
Liu Zi'an counted it, and saw that the silver found was about thirty taels, so he snorted coldly and said, "Today is cheap for you!" ”
The hundred households just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard another sentence: "Come on! Rip off all the bastard's clothes and blast them out into the streets! ”
"Don't! Where do I put my face? ”
The four guards didn't pay attention to the howls of the hundred households, and the three times and five divided by two picked it up, and threw it directly into the street, and then everyone disappeared into the alley near the left in a blink of an eye, leaving only the naked hundred households crying on the street.
