Chapter Seventy-Two: The Missing Xu Niu

In the end, Liu Mengchen still agreed to Xu Deshan's conditions, not because Liu Mengchen was afraid of Xu Deshan, but mainly because Liu Mengchen weighed it in the end, and still felt that Xu Deshan's idea was quite cost-effective.

According to Xu Deshan, Liu Mengchen can get two benefits, the first is to be able to protect his son's safety, and to let him continue to study in the school, and the second point is that Xu Deshan did not expect, but Liu Mengchen saw, that is, if Xu Deshan doesn't care about this matter, then everything will be presided over by Liu Mengchen, before Liu Mengchen has firmly sat on the throne of the first place in Gaoyang County, and now this time if he takes this opportunity to hold the armed forces of each family in his hands, then in Gaoyang County, Liu Mengchen can really cover the sky with one hand.

Liu Mengchen is not the kind of person who is greedy for power, but no one will let go of this kind of opportunity to enhance his strength in a righteous manner, Liu Mengchen agreed, and discussed the details with Xu Deshan.

If you want to say that this knowledgeable person is different, you see that even if Xu Caizheng is talking to Xu Deshan, he just thinks that Xu Deshan is talented and outstanding, but Liu Mengchen chatted with Xu Deshan, but he can feel the difference between Xu Deshan from his bones, this is the difference between businessmen and scholars, scholars pay attention to spiritual pursuits, moral ideals, and businessmen are actually more, what is useful, what can be turned into money, what can be used for oneself, what is good, And in Xu Deshan's mind, the last thing he lacks is this kind of thing.

The two are chatting here, learning from each other, learning from each other, unconsciously, they really regard each other as close friends, seeing that the sun is setting, Xu Deshan is about to leave, Liu Mengchen is reluctant, and Xu Deshan is also quite polite to Liu Mengchen, and said, "Brother Liu, you see that the two of us are so compatible, little brother, I will go first, and you will help me put on the money for this banquet first." ”

“……”

Xu Deshan went home, just stuck in the city gate when out of the city, all the way without words, back to Xu's house, it was already dark, Xu Deshan was tired on the way, I wanted to find Xu Caizheng to explain the situation, and then went to sleep and rest, tomorrow I have to get up early to rush to the county seat, but Xu Deshan just arrived at the gate of Xu's house, I saw the old lady standing at the door, saw Xu Deshan coming back, and hurriedly greeted "Deshan, you are back, come here, I have something to ask you." ”

Hearing this, Xu Deshan's head suddenly became half a circle bigger, not for anything else, just because this old lady is old, she really talks a lot, and she usually works hard, so she listens, but now Xu Deshan really has some feeling that he doesn't have enough time, seeing that so many things need to be arranged, if he listens to the old lady's nagging again, I'm afraid he won't want to sleep today.

But no matter what, Xu Deshan still walked to the old lady and asked, "Grandma, why are you here, have you eaten, the weather is still a little cold, you can go back to the room to rest early." ”

The old lady said, "You kid, don't you think I'm annoyed again, I really have no conscience, I'm still waiting for you until now, it's good for you to come back, it's good for you to come back." ”

Xu Deshan was a little ashamed, as the saying goes, the mother of a thousand miles is worried, and he is a grandson, but he doesn't know that the old lady is always worried about herself, which is really wrong, but Xu Deshan is also a little strange, and asked, "Grandma, I usually go out a lot, why don't you wait for me at other times, but you are waiting for me today?" ”

The old lady said, "Something happened to us here, don't you know yet?" ”

Xu Deshan's heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The old lady said, "I went to the protector's house today, it was fine at noon, the protector also said that our family came to look for you, he was still happy when he went back, but when the meeting was dismissed in the evening, he didn't see the protector come out, even his daughter-in-law was gone, seeing that it was dark, we all looked for it, but we didn't find anywhere, and finally even Zhang Damao was alarmed, and I couldn't find any trace of the two of them in the whole township, I heard that you haven't come back yet, so I'm worried about you, if you come back a little later, I'm going to send someone out to find you. ”

Xu Deshan listened, his head buzzed, the more he was afraid of something, the faster something came, since Xu Niu found him today, Xu Deshan always felt that something was not right, so he hurried to the county seat to arrange these things, originally thought that Xu Niu took a hundred taels of silver, how could this matter be delayed for two days, but I didn't expect things to change this afternoon.

Xu Deshan hurriedly smoothed out this matter from beginning to end, what may happen now is that there will be two situations, the first situation is that Xu Niu broke the inside story of Maitreya Buddhism, and was afraid that King Kong would find him to settle accounts, so together with his daughter-in-law, he took the money and ran away early while the trouble was not over. This situation is a little better, Xu Niu is running now, and the King Kong behind him may not be able to detect it for a while, and when they find out, Xu Niu has already run away without a trace, even if he catches it, he has to catch it for a while, and this time is enough for Xu Deshan to go to the Daimyo's Mansion and find Jia Chang to the other party.

And the other situation is much worse, that is, Xu Niu is unlucky, just in time for a Buddhist King Kong to inspect him today, Xu Niu is carrying a heavy hundred taels of silver, and the result is for King Kong to see, who is this King Kong

, will be suspicious and interrogate Xu Niu, and with Xu Niu's temper, I am afraid that there will be no two sentences to be asked by King Kong. If this is the case, Xu Deshan felt a chill behind him, then not only did Xu Niu have little hope of living, but even himself, Xu Fu, was in extreme danger.

Xu Deshan was thinking about it, when the old lady saw that Xu Deshan's face was wrong, and asked, "Deshan, what's wrong with you, do you know where the Dharma Protector went?" ”

Xu Deshan couldn't let the old lady know these things, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, you don't know, that Xu Niu is a liar, he came to us in the afternoon and cheated away a hundred taels of silver, it is estimated that he looked at the hundred taels of silver and blushed and absconded." ”

Although the old lady is old, she can also distinguish the difference between an egg and a hundred taels of silver, listening to Xu Deshan's words, she was so excited that she almost didn't faint, and immediately scolded, "This Xu Niu, who suffered a thousand cuts, I have long seen that he is not a good person, how can he cheat my family out of money and run away, no, you can't let him run away like this, you must find him and chase our silver back." ”

Xu Deshan now has no time to care what the old lady says, so he asked the maid to help the old lady into the gate, help her into the old lady's house, and subconsciously looked at the left and right of the black hole outside the gate, and involuntarily hit a spirit, hurriedly closed the door, and put on the door bolt, so that she was more down-to-earth, and asked Gao Mang to guard the gate, and then hurriedly ran to find Xu Caizheng, and wanted to talk to Xu Caizheng about today's events.

Gao Mang didn't know what Xu Deshan was thinking, and naturally he didn't know the seriousness of this matter, seeing that Xu Deshan was scared, he was amused in his heart, lazily dragged a bench, sat in the gatehouse, made a pot of tea, and drank it leisurely.

Gao Mang was so leisurely, but Gao Mang didn't know that at this time, outside the Xu Mansion, in the dark, there were two big men hidden, who had long been staring at the movements of the Xu Mansion, and all the movements of Xu Deshan from the time he came back to the time he closed the door.

These two people, all wearing black tights, with sharp hands and feet, stared at Xu Deshan deadly, and the one led by them whispered, "The Xu Deshan that Xu Niu said is that child." ”

The man next to him said, "Look at that look, you can't go wrong." ”

"I didn't expect this Xu Deshan to be a child, Xu Niu is really a waste, and he can't even deal with a child." ”

The man next to him said, "That little butter flamboyant, what is true or fake, most of them are made up blindly." ”

"No matter how you make it up, this Xu Deshan must know the secret of my teaching, and he must find a way to get rid of it." ”

The man next to him said, "This Xu Deshan looks quite homely, you look at that big man, he also looks like a person in the army, if it is easy to kill them, but it is not easy not to alarm others." ”

"I don't know if this Xu Deshan came back so late, where he went, and whether he told others about it." ”

The person next to him said, "Did Xu Niu lie to me again, and deliberately did not tell Xu Deshan's whereabouts." ”

"It's not possible, just your means, don't say that they are used on Xu Niu, even if they are warriors in front of the two armies, they can't stand it, why should he Xu Niu use his life to protect this Xu Deshan." ”

The man next to him said, "If this Xu Deshan goes out to play, it's okay to say, but if he tells these secrets to others, I'm afraid that it will delay the big thing I teach." ”

"No matter what, this Xu Deshan must not be able to keep it anymore, catch him, and when the time comes, you will know." ”

The man next to him said, "Then let's do it at night?" ”

"No, don't alarm others, let's rest early today, stay at the door tomorrow, watch Xu Deshan come out and walk to a secluded place, let's take him again, how much he doesn't come out, let's make plans again." ”

The person next to him nodded in agreement, and the two of them circled around the Xu Mansion, hiding in the darkness, like spiders with webs, staring at the huge monster of the Xu Mansion.

Xu Deshan didn't know about such a crisis, he closed the door, dragged Xu Caizheng from the house into the study, asked Xu Caizheng to sit in the seat he was most familiar with, and then turned around twice with his hands behind his back in front of Xu Caizheng, sighed, and didn't know how to speak.

Xu Deshan's behavior made Xu Caizheng a little angry, although he hadn't sat in the study for a long time, and the study had almost been given to Xu Deshan, but Xu Deshan couldn't press himself here as his son's training, is there any size in the family.

This can't blame Xu Deshan for pinching Xu Caizheng, what happened today is too important, Xu Deshan doesn't know which thing to say first, so as not to scare Xu Caizheng.

Xu Deshan pondered for a long time and decided to say something that looked normal first, and he said carefully, "Father, I'm going to the Daimyo's Mansion tomorrow." ”

I think Xu Caizheng is also the role of a teenager who left home, left home in his teens, and has lived for decades, he has never seen any strong winds and waves, and he has never experienced any thrilling things, but even so, all of a sudden, when he heard that his five-year-old child was going to go to the Daimyo's Mansion thousands of miles away without discussing it with anyone, he was also stunned and speechless

After a long time, Xu Caizheng reacted, and asked with a stammer, "What are you doing in the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I'll go to Jia Changchao, I have something to tell him." ”

In an instant, Xu Caizheng felt that he was really old, thousands of miles away from the famous mansion, the pacification envoy of Hebei Road, and Jia Changchao, the third-grade master, no matter which of these two names is something that ordinary people dare not hope for in their lives, saying it in Xu Deshan's mouth, it is like going out to the neighbor's house to chat with any old man, is the times changing too fast, or Xu Deshan is too different.

Xu Caizheng is still very open-minded, since he realized that Xu Deshan is not an ordinary person, Xu Caizheng no longer interferes in Xu Deshan's affairs, and after the construction of the school, Xu Caizheng even has the intention of handing over the power of the Xu family to Xu Deshan, and now Xu Deshan suddenly proposed to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, Xu Caizheng is still acceptable after passing the initial stage, and as a man, Xu Deshan can do such a thing at such a young age, Xu Caizheng is quite proud of it.

Xu Caizheng eased his mood, patted Xu Deshan on the shoulder and said, "Since this is the case, then you can go, how do you want to go, who do you want to take, do you need me to go with you." ”

Xu Deshan said: "That's not necessary. ”

Xu Caizheng joked, "Why, I think I'm one year old, and I'm no longer a three- or four-year-old kid, so I don't look down on me?" I'm telling you, I'm not that old. ”

Xu Deshan smiled bitterly, "I naturally know that you are not old, no, after I left, I left you with a troublesome thing at home." ”

Xu Caizheng's mood is like riding a roller coaster, high and low, he was just aroused by Xu Deshan's ambition and pride, and he was beaten to the bottom all of a sudden, thinking, this kid, won't he cause anything again, he went to the Daimyo's Mansion to play, and threw all the trouble to himself.

Seeing that Xu Caizheng was looking at him with unkind eyes, Xu Deshan hurriedly explained, "Father, this is not a joke, have you heard that in the afternoon, Xu Niu from the village disappeared." ”

It's okay not to talk about this, but when he talked about this, Xu Caizheng almost didn't jump up and smoke Xu Deshan, and scolded, "You are embarrassed to say, you actually took a hundred taels of silver to Xu Niu in the afternoon, with Xu Niu's temper, naturally he ran away, and there is no need to ask, he is fine, but it makes your mother angry enough." ”

Xu Deshan touched his nose and said, "Let's talk about this matter later, let's talk about Xu Niu first, Xu Niu is missing, it's not that simple, do you know why I gave him money?" ”

Xu Caizheng said: "Why? ”

Xu Deshan said, "I saw him private Buddhism before, and tricked my grandmother into going to him to worship the Buddha, so I went to check before, but it didn't matter what I saw, but I found that Xu Niu suddenly became a protector, but it was not Xu Niu Zhao Immortal to see, but behind Xu Niu's body, there is a strict and huge organization, this organization is amazing, I went to the Daimyo Mansion this time, it is to ask Lord Jia to take action, to sweep him away in one fell swoop, as for the family, Xu Niu suddenly disappeared, I am afraid that they noticed something, I went to the county seat in the afternoon, asked Liu Mengchen and others to send out some guards, one to guard the school, and the other to protect my house, but my father still has to sit at home to stabilize the overall situation. ”

Xu Cai is a smart person, he immediately knew what Xu Deshan meant by what he said, and thought about how huge and terrible an organization that could only be solved by asking the highest official of Hebei Road to take action in person, and Xu Deshan just provoked them. Xu Caizheng regretted it very much, regretted it very much, and secretly complained about why he was so careless, he knew that Xu Deshan was not an honest master, and he often wanted to cause trouble for himself, but why did he still ignore Xu Deshan, and let Xu Deshan cause trouble outside, he even felt complacent, he knew that in this way, he should have tied Xu Deshan in the house is the best choice.

Xu Caizheng picked up the cigarette pouch on the table that he hadn't touched for a long time, poured a pot of tobacco with some rustiness, lit it with a fire fold, took two sips vigorously, watched the tobacco flicker, spit out a puff of white smoke from his mouth, and then lay back, leaned on the Taishi chair, and was silent.

After a while, Xu Caizheng opened his eyes, looked at Xu Deshan and said, "Deshan, do you know why you don't have a biological mother?" ”

Xu Deshan was stunned for a moment, shook his head hesitantly, Xu Caizheng continued, "I said to the outside world that you are the illegitimate son of me and the courtesan, in fact, it is not, when I dismissed the official and went home, I saw you being thrown on the way halfway, although I don't know whose child you are, but when I saw you, there were female deer breastfeeding, tiger and wolf guarding, it was a vision that only the stars had in the sky, since then, I knew that you were very human, even if I raised you home, this small Hebei will definitely not be able to trap you in the future, so I am for you, I have never been as harsh as Zheng'er Jing'er, more, I regard supporting you as a kind of responsibility of mine, in order to be able to raise you as a person and help me become prosperous and prosperous. ”

Xu Caizheng paused, took another puff of cigarette, and said with some spirit in his eyes, "I know that sooner or later, you will eventually soar all over the world, the tiger roars in the forest, I have already been prepared, but I didn't expect that this day would come so early, rest assured, Deshan, you let it go, do whatever you want, you just need to remember that the Xu family will always support you behind you." ”
