42. Aftermath (II)
"The little master is not here!"
"Bang", with that response, the door panel closed in front of the scholar's nose, almost clamping his nose, the scholar stared blankly at the closed door, and said for a long time: "The villain is difficult to raise, the villain is difficult to raise!" ”
What Zhuang Ding said is not false, Huo Chongcheng is indeed not at home. If it is according to etiquette, he should still build a house in front of his father's grave at this time to keep filial piety, but he is now the head of the family, and the uncle in the clan saw his means, and no one dared to care about him, so he arrived at Yuzhang Villa at this time, and was sitting opposite Zhao and Ju in the study.
"It's actually my family that has caused the fourth uncle, this matter is ......" Zhao Youju smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Aju, it's no wonder you're here." Huo Chongcheng saw it very openly: "That Sun Wu is in collusion with pirates, my father is dealing with him, sooner or later something will happen, if you want to blame me, I can only be blamed, I know that someone is inquiring about the situation at home, but I don't take precautions early." ”
Seeing that Zhao Heju's expression was still a little depressed, Huo Chongcheng only said that he was still blaming himself for the murder of his own person, and then said: "We are like brothers, it is natural for my father to help you, and besides, you have set up a clever plan for me, almost all those pirates are wiped out, so that I can avenge my father and comfort my father's spirit in the sky!" ”
In order to prevent the news from leaking, he also sent more than ten people from his own Zhuangzi to Huo Chongcheng, but now that I think about it, it is still a bit risky, this is ten outlaws, if it is not for the trap and injured six in one fell swoop, twenty or thirty ordinary villagers, may not be able to win against them.
"There's something I want to ask you." Huo Chongcheng stared at Zhao Heju and said: "This ambush plan is clearly what you said, why don't you want to take credit, you have to say that I came up with it myself?" ”
Zhao Youju still only had a wry smile, he wanted to hide his eyes and ears and act in a low-key manner, what he had done for more than a year had gone against his original intentions, if he knew that he had set up this strategy, he was afraid that Shi Miyuan would never pick himself as the prince again. What Shi Miyuan wants is a helpless, obedient and cowardly little emperor, but he is not a young, smart, heroic and resolute saint son of heaven.
"Chongcheng, you are thirteen years old, and others will only say that you are a genius when you do such a thing." Although there are enough reasons, but at this time, it can't be explained to Huo Chongcheng, Zhao Heju can only say: "I am seven years old, and I have such a plan, if others know about it, it will be regarded as a demon." ”
Huo Chongcheng is not an ordinary child, thinking about the rumors about his family in the township in the past few days, he looked at Zhao Youju, who was a head shorter than him, and nodded involuntarily: "That's true, sometimes even I think you are a demon." ”
Zhao Youju secretly felt a little guilty in his heart, in fact, Huo Chongcheng had the name of a genius, and there was another benefit to him. In the past, he was a little different from ordinary people, and there were occasional rumors in the countryside, but it may not be in the future, because of Huo Chongcheng's shocking behavior in front of him, his small actions are naturally inconspicuous. There is no starlight in the sky during the day, it is because the sunlight is too strong, and Huo Chongcheng's current genius aura is his cover to cover his own taoguang and obscurity.
"What is the situation in your clan, and do those people still dare to covet your Zhuangzi?" Zhao and Ju didn't want to dwell more on this matter, so they changed the topic and asked.
"The third uncle and the sixth uncle have both made shrunken turtles, and which of the rest of the people is eyeless?" Huo Chongcheng sneered: "Even if they still want the ten thousand pieces of gold and silver in my village, they have to think about whether there are traps dug in my house!" ”
The situation of a string of living people in the trap that day was extremely terrifying, and everyone who saw it was horrified, it was Huo Chongcheng, who was not only happy, but also frightened. As for the methods he used to deal with those pirates who were caught alive later, it made his three uncles and six uncles and others clamp their buttocks, and the eyes of their nephews were all the kind of piaoer.
"Do you have a reliable person in your family?" Zhao Youju asked again: "The business that is going on in a quarter of an hour, you still need to do it, you have to let someone go over there and watch." ”
Hearing him mention this, Huo Chongcheng frowned: "Ah Ju, I was about to tell you about this, the family has enough money, I am now bent on avenging my father, and I don't find out the pirate who escaped, I ......"
"You're wrong." Zhao Yoju interrupted him.
"What did I do wrong?" Huo Chongcheng said in surprise.
"It's right for you to avenge your father, but you shouldn't give up your family business, this quarter of an hour's name, but what Uncle Huo took, if you leave it alone, you will abandon his last wish." Zhao and Ju stared at Huo Chongcheng closely, Huo Chongcheng had a close relationship with him, and this time to avenge his father, which made him famous, and he was the best object to borrow to cover himself. Although it was a bit utilitarian to say this, no matter what, he didn't want Huo Chongcheng to leave his control.
His words reminded Huo Chongcheng of what his father had said to him in that way: "My son, you are now also making ten thousand progresses, and your father is thinking about how to marry you a daughter-in-law!" Although my father said this as a joke, I am afraid that there is some truth in it.
"Uncle Huo's matter, in fact, there is another reason." Zhao Heju gently patted Huo Chongcheng on the shoulder: "If we knew first that Sun Wu was colluding with pirates, how could ten murderers kill Fourth Uncle Huo!" ”
Huo Chongcheng's heart moved, and he raised his head to look at Zhao Youju.
"Besides, you only know that the pirate who escaped is a widow, from Quanzhou, named Ding Gong Ai, and you don't know anything else, how can you catch him?" Zhao Youju said again: "He is now a lost dog, he will definitely run away, and he will even sail overseas, where are you going to catch him?" Even if you know where he is hiding, if you are close to this place, you will have your own neighbors to help you, and if you are in a foreign country, who can help you? ”
Huo Chongcheng looked depressed when he said this, he was originally smart, but he was just blinded by hatred. Now that he was awakened by Zhao Heju, he knew that it was really stupid for him to give up his family business to chase the murderer, but if he let him let go of that Ding Gongai, he was unwilling: "Do you want to let go of that thief?" ”
"Naturally not!" Zhao Heju sat back on his seat: "Heavy city, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, you only need to offer a reward, are you afraid that no one will send the thief head?" ”
"The wealth is moving, I use Wanguan as bait, and the thief will not be able to move an inch." Huo Chongcheng nodded again and again.
Seeing that he had changed his mind, Zhao and Ju discussed with him how to deal with the quarter-hour business. Zhao Heju's family was absolutely unwilling to come forward, so Huo Chongcheng chose a distant cousin from his clan to go to Lin'an to take care of it, this cousin was one of the few who did not covet his family property, so he could be trusted. As for himself, with this lesson and the money in his family, he intends to recruit some head martial artists to train those Zhuang guests at home. Zhao Youju strongly agrees with this, as long as Huo Chongcheng starts this, then there will be rich families in Sili and Eight Towns to follow up, and at that time, Yuzhang Villa will also invite a few reliable martial arts instructors, so it will not cause people to be suspicious.
