Jieyang Town, Mujiazhuang.

Chao Gai hid the people and horses of Erlongshan and asked Liu Tang to restrain them. I brought Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, Zhuyun Long Gongsun Sheng, and Bai Sheng, the day mouse, to find a gold and silver shop first, and exchanged a lot of gold bills, all of which were poured into a leather bag, and then urged the horse to go.

Today, Chao Gai wants to visit Mujiazhuang.

Bai Sheng couldn't help but said: "Brother Chao Gai, our Great Song Dynasty still makes a lot of money, you get these gold bills, I'm afraid that you won't be able to spend them, but what's the use?" ”

Chao Gai smiled: "I have my own magic for these gold bills!" Wu Yong twisted Bai Sheng secretly, and Bai Sheng didn't dare to ask, but opened his eyes wide to see what kind of magic Chao Gai was.

Asking the way, he had already come to Mujiazhuang. All the heroes flew off the horse, and Chao Gai stepped forward to hold his fists and arched his hands to the two Zhuang Ke who guarded the door: "Two big brothers, goodbye!" ”

A Zhuang guest with a fierce face, seeing that Chao Gai and his party were riding high-headed horses, did not dare to slack off, and bowed forward to return the salute: "Where did the guests come from?" ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Our brother is a guest of the horse seller in the north, and when he came to this Jieyang Town, he heard about the prestige of the two owners of Mujiazhuang, so he came to pay a visit, and I hope that this eldest brother will give a message." ”

When the fierce dealer heard this, he shook his hand and said, "It turned out to be a guest selling horses." Don't hide it from you, the owner of the village has already instructed us, all those who have the rivers and lakes to run business, play tricks, sell jokes, etc., my owner is gracious, and you are exempted from your usual money, Jieyang Town, you have the ability to do it, as long as you don't cause trouble, my owner doesn't care about it, can you understand? If you understand, go back! ”

Bai Sheng heard it, this Mujiazhuang is such a big shelf!

Chao Gai reached out and grabbed a handful of gold bills from the leather bag, stuffed it into the hand of the fierce banker, and said with a smile: "Since you have come to the West Heaven, how can you go back if you don't see a true Buddha?" I hope that the eldest brother will give us a good voice, and the brothers are grateful! ”

The elite and fierce Zhuang Ke grabbed the gold bills full of handfuls, and was taken aback, stared at the gold bills in his hands for a long time, raised his head and covered it for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Bai Sheng and others for a long time, and then nodded and said: "That is the case, everyone wait in the shade of the tree over there, and wait for the villain to go in and return for a while." To see or not to see, but by the owner's command. ”

Chao Gai smiled and arched his hand: "It's so hard! ”

Zhuang Ke said to another Zhuang Ke: "Two sticks, you bring a few stools out, please sit these masters!" Pour a pot of tea again, and also solve the hard work of walking for a few gentlemen! After explaining, Xiang Chao Gai and the others nodded, then turned around and went in with the gold bill.

Passing through the corridor, the fierce Zhuang Ke came to a living room early, heard the sound of talking in the living room, did not dare to rush, looked at the space of the voice handover, and coughed a few times.

But I heard a clear voice say, "Is it Mu Da?" In! ”

Mu Da then lowered his head and went in, and said, "Master Qi, a group of guests selling horses have come outside to ask to see!" ”

On the chair in the living room, there were two people sitting side by side, and the big man on the left was Mu Hong, so he waved his hand and said: "Brother Song Jiang sent a message and was arranged by Cai Jiu on an errand, we are discussing how to help, where is there still the business of caring about those people selling horses?" Go out and send those people away! In the future, similar people and so on, all of them will not be seen! ”

"Yes!" Mu Da agreed, but he didn't move, just said in a low voice, "But the owner, that group of horse sellers, is not embarrassed to come!" ”

"Oh?" Mu Chun, who was at the head of the right in the hall, asked, "How can you see that they are not embarrassed?" ”

Mu Da then showed the pile of gold bills wrapped in his sleeves: "Everyone, please! ”

Everyone was taken aback and asked Mu Dadao: "Where did these gold bills come from?" ”

Mu Da replied: "These gold bills were all grabbed and stuffed to me by the horse dealers just now, so the villain said that they were not embarrassed to come." How much gold can they earn by selling horses? If you hit the initiators like this, I am afraid that all the horses of the Great Song Dynasty will be sold to them, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”

Mu Chun instructed, "Bring it up and show it to me." ”

Mu Da put the gold coin on the case in front of Mu Chun, and said respectfully: "Xiaolang, please!" ”

The little man picked up the gold bills one by one, bit them a few times in his mouth, and raised his head to the people in the hall: "Brothers, these gold bills are full of weight, but they are not adulterated!" ”

Hou Jian walked the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he had some insight, stood up and said: "Brothers and brothers, aren't these people friends in the rivers and lakes today?" They used the pretext of selling horses to cover people's eyes and ears, nine out of ten out of nine, but they wanted to do a big business in Jiangzhou City, because the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so they came to visit Brother Mu first. Sending these gold bills, the meaning is to throw stones to ask for directions, first surprise us, there are also some! ”

Mu Hong pondered for a long time on the left chair in the middle of the hall before he said: "But as far as I know, in the past few days, inside and outside Jiangzhou City, where is there any big oil and water business to be fished?" As soon as these people made a move, they were thinking that they would rob the government's treasury and not be able to go? Or do you want to kidnap the wife and children of the prefect of Cai Jiu? ”

Zhang Ruijing accompanied the last seat on the right chair, and also shook his head and said: "Don't say that it is Jiangzhou City, that is, in the Xunyang River, the passing ships that come and go these days do not have such a big deal to produce!" These people are really embarrassing, but they can't be seen! ”

After listening to everyone's words, Mu Hongzhuang nodded and said: "Since these people are here, and they have come up with a big hand, we should ask them about their intentions!" Now that there is such a big event as Brother Gongming, we can't let idle people wait to come and make extraneous branches, but it has ruined our brothers' calculations! ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all responded in unison: "What Brother Mu said is true!" ”

The owner of Mu Hong Zhuang called people and ordered: "Mu Da! ”

Mu Da hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain is here!" ”

Mu Hong? The owner of the village commanded: "Go out and tell the stewards, let them inform the brothers in the village, tell everyone to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, cheer me up, and watch out carefully!" You yourself hurry up and bring those horse sellers here for me, don't let people wait for a long time, but say that my Mujiazhuang has no hospitality! ”

Mu Da said "yes", exited the hall, reported to the family members of several stewards, and then ran out of the village. （）
