Chapter 50: The Secret of the Xiao Family

Pi Yang said goodbye to Master Jiao, and just now he noticed that Yuan Zhutou was walking east with his subordinates, so he asked Yacha casually: "What about you Yuan Zhutou?" ”

Fang Cai's yacha, who threatened to beat him with a stick, was much more polite at this time, nodded and said: "Yuan Zhutou went early, I don't know what Pi Gongzi is looking for him, the little one can bring you a message." ”

"Oh, it's nothing, I didn't have a good fight with the Li family yesterday, and I planned to fight with Yuan Zhutou again, but I didn't expect him to slip faster than a rabbit, let's do it another day!" Pi Yang picked up the wheelbarrow and sighed and left.

The two yacha glanced at each other, and they both wiped a handful of cold sweat on their heads, it turned out that this person was the one who beat everyone in the Li family on the street yesterday, and he didn't do it just now.

Pi Yang walked back for a while, and when he passed by the shop where he had breakfast just now, he subconsciously glanced inside, and just saw Yuan Zhutou standing in front of the counter to check out, only to see that after he gave the copper coin, he touched it in his arms for a while, and after touching something, his face was already sneaky, and then he glanced at the shopkeeper and motioned him to go upstairs to talk.

Xiao Baiyuan's face was a little embarrassed, but he still sighed and nodded, and then looked around cautiously, Pi Yang hurriedly turned around and picked up an item on the stall next to him: "Sister, how much is this?" But in his heart, he was thinking, "There are ghosts! ”

The eldest sister said expressionlessly: "This is not for sale." ”

Damn, if you don't do business, what is so precious, the treasure of the town stall? Pi Yang glanced down at the things in his hand, and saw a boxy pressing stone in the palm of his hand, and weighed the weight, which was enough to be used as a weapon, and it was really a treasure of the town's stall!

Pi Yang took out three copper coins and handed them to the stall owner, the eldest sister immediately smiled, took the copper coins and thanked them again and again.

When he looked into the store again, the sneaky two were gone, and Pi Yang threw the stone into the car body and pushed the cart into the alleyway next to the store. Behind the shop was a dilapidated house, overgrown with weeds in front of the door, tall enough for one person.

Pi Yang hid the car in the grass, glanced left and right, saw that no one was passing by, tied the skirt around his waist, stepped on the pillar like a raccoon cat and quietly jumped up to the beam on the second floor of the store, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, only to hear a whisper, as if someone was talking privately, but the voice came from upstairs.

Raising his head and seeing that the top of his head was the volley platform on the third floor, Pi Yangyi was bold, hanging upside down on the beam and swinging hard, when his feet were off the beam, his hand had grasped the vertical railing of the balcony, but he didn't think that the wooden railing was a little loose, and made a squeaky sound, and the conversation in the house stopped abruptly, and after a while, he heard two footsteps upstairs slowly approaching the balcony.

He held his breath and didn't dare to move, his mind flowed, calculated the blind spot of the vision generated by the person standing at the door and looking down through the balcony, quietly retreated to the second floor and squatted on the beam, took off the cloth shoes on his feet, accompanied by the squeak of the window door upstairs, Pi Yang's mouth let out a "meow" exclamation, the sound was vivid, like a frightened kitten, and at the same time scratched the crossbar a few times on his hand, and smashed a slipper in his hand into the grass under him with a slight force, making a soft sound, Then he gently threw the other shoe into the grass near the edge of the alley.

The two upstairs stood at the door, and saw the tip of the exposed grass shaking in their field of vision, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them palpitated: "I thought there was someone, it turned out to be a cat." Pi Yang hid on the beam and heard it clearly, and it was the shopkeeper of this store - Xiao Baiyuan.

The other person didn't dare to be careless, walked to the balcony and glanced down, and didn't find anything unusual before saying, "I see that no one is watching behind me, just in case, let's talk here." This voice is also familiar to Pi Yang, it is Yuan Zhutou.

Hehe, it's a blessing in disguise, saving Lao Tzu from crawling around like a monkey. Pi Yang snickered in his heart, but his ears pricked up.

I only heard Xiao Baiyuan say lightly: "Brother Yuan, I don't think there is any need to talk about it." ”

"Oh, my old brother Bai Yuan, let me say what is good about you?" Yuan Zhutou's voice sounded very anxious: "If this batch of crossbows is sold to Qi Yunzhai, it will be more than two thousand taels of silver, and the Xiao family will draw three hundred taels, the younger brother only needs Xiao Yuanwai to say a few words to the master of Li Zhai, such a cost-effective business, how could your master not be?" Brother, you go to persuade the staff again, if it is done, your benefits are indispensable, brother! ”

Xiao Baiyuan pondered for a long time, and sighed: "It's not that my lord doesn't help you, according to the news in Beijing, the new magistrate is a master who is not easy to mess with, and he dares to talk back to the emperor in the Golden Palace, and the lord concludes that this person cannot be bought." Master Cheng can still turn a blind eye, after all, money can make ghosts grind, but now I am dealing with people in the government, if Brother Yuan shows his feet, it will affect my Xiao family into a situation from which he will never recover. ”

Damn, dare to talk back to the emperor? This Kou Zhun really deserves to be Wei Zheng version 2.0. Pi Yang nodded, and couldn't help but quietly give a thumbs up.

"Why do I think the new Lord Zhixian is not very good," it is estimated that Yuan Zhutou saw that Lord Kou was a little indecisive yesterday, and his voice was a little disdainful: "What kind of storm can a weak scholar set off?" Besides, when Lord Cheng cooperated with Yuanwailang in the past, everything was done by me, and Lord Cheng just waited to count the coppers, so why not if he is gone? ”

Xiao Baiyuan thought for a while: "Okay, I'll go back and mention this to the master later, as for whether it will be successful or not, I don't dare to pack the ticket." ”

"Don't, Brother Bai Yuan," it sounded like Yuan Zhutou was anxious again: "This batch of crossbows is the weapons of my cousin's regimental training camp that my cousin transported from the hometown city at the risk of his life, but I don't dare to keep it at home for too long, you have to help my brother talk to Xiao Yuan." ”

Xiao Baiyuan was also anxious: "How can this smuggled arms be compared with grain and medicinal materials, how can you dare to transport it to Qiyunzhai if you want to?" If it is found out, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, you are not afraid of losing your head, the master can't ignore the lives of the hundreds of people in the Xiao family, if you are so anxious, the master will not dare to cooperate with you. ”

Pi Yang listened to it secretly, my day, it seems that the government and smugglers have been colluding for a long time, this Yuan Zhutou is really not afraid of death, and even dares to sell arms privately, but the people of the Xiao family are not a group of outlaws after all, the arms dealers that Lao Tzu has seen are all afraid to stand up to Gatling and special forces against Gang, I don't know if Xiao has this courage?

"It's that I'm in a hurry, I just want to ship it as soon as possible," Yuan Zhutou's tone softened: "Brother Bai Yuan, please tell Xiao Yuanwai, as long as his old man can help me get online with Qi Yunzhai, and the money I get will be split between me and the Xiao family." ”

The top of his head suddenly fell silent, Pi Yang didn't need to look to know that Xiao Baiyuan must have been surprised, and it took a long time to hear him say out: "In this case, I will go back to the house to talk to the master now, you come here tonight to wait for me to reply!" ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and as long as he says a few words, and then helps transport it to Qiyun Village, more than 1,000 taels of silver will be in hand, although the risk is large, the oil and water are enough, and no matter how calm Xiao is outside, he can't help but be unmoved.
