Chapter 29: The Missing Silver Taels
Xiaobai woke up the next day and went to the county magistrate. The county magistrate was diligently reviewing all kinds of documents, looked up and saw Xiaobai, and said, "Morning! ”
Xiaobai: "Morning, adult!"
County magistrate: "The thief who stole 10,000 taels of silver has not moved." I sent a dozen spies around the city, but I still haven't heard anything. It looks like those thieves have snuck out of the city with the silver taels!"
"Impossible, Father! I ordered the soldiers guarding the city to strictly examine the people who left the city, and all suspicious people were arrested first, not to mention that the gang of thieves had no difficulty moving with ten thousand taels of silver. Therefore they must still be hiding in the city. The county magistrate came over and said.
"Little White Shaoxia, this is the old man's only son, Xiao Fan. Come over and meet the little white boy of the Huashan faction. The county magistrate said.
Xiao Fan: "I have heard that Huashan knife skills are famous all over the world, I don't know if Xiaobai Shaoxia can give me some advice?"
The county magistrate: "Xiao Fan, Hugh is messing around! Xiaobai Shaoxia is a guest from afar, how can he let the guest get a knife and a gun!"
Xiaobai: "It's okay, why don't we give it a try." ”
Xiao Fan: "That's great. As he spoke, Xiao Fan took an iron knife and handed it to Xiao Bai, and picked it up himself.
Xiaobai: "Little Fan Gongzi, please!"
Xiao Fan has been practicing knife skills for many years, and he competes with others on weekdays, and most people let Xiao Fan do it, so Xiao Fan feels good about himself.
Xiao Fan attacked Xiao Bai, his movements were light, it seemed that Xiao Fan had not practiced internal skills. But no matter which direction Xiao Fan cut down, Xiao Bai easily caught his moves.
After a hundred tricks, Xiao Fan said: "Don't play, don't play, Xiaobai has been letting me, it's boring!"
Xiao Bai pointed out some flaws in Xiao Fan's knife technique, and Xiao Fan was even more impressed: "The disciples of the Huashan faction are amazing!"
County magistrate: "Xiao Fan, now that the thieves are nowhere to be found, you should take the little white boy around first, don't go far." ”
Xiao Fan: "Okay, father!" Xiao Fan took Xiao Bai to wander around Tongguan County, eating and drinking.
The two walked to a luxuriously decorated wooden building with the words "Jade Building" written on it. The enchanting middle-aged woman at the door shouted to Xiao Fan: "Yo, Xiao Fan Gongzi, I haven't been here for a long time! ”
Xiaobai: "What kind of place is this?"
Xiao Fan: "No, this is Chunlou, haven't you been there?"
Xiaobai: "I've never heard of it!"
Xiao Fan: "It's no wonder, Xiaobai Shaoxia is from the Huashan faction, so naturally he practices martial arts on the mountain on weekdays, and it's not surprising that it's fun under the mountain." ”
The middle-aged woman came over and pulled Xiaobai with one hand and Xiaofan with the other, and walked inside. Inside, there are all warblers and swallows, and there are countless beautiful girls.
Xiao Fan said to the middle-aged woman: "Let the two little sisters of Chunhua and Qiuyue come over to accompany the wine." So saying, he gave her a few taels of silver. The middle-aged woman walked up to call out with a smile on her face.
After a while, the middle-aged woman came to Xiaobai and the others with two young and beautiful women, "Spring Flower, Autumn Moon, serve the two sons well!" After speaking, she left with a smile and took the door with her.
"This is Xiaobai Shaoxia, he is a disciple of the Huashan faction, and his martial arts are strong, slightly stronger than me. Xiao Fan smiled.
"Jiuyang, the little woman's name is Chunhua, I salute Shaoxia. One of the slightly plump women finished and drank it all. Xiaobai also drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Xiao Fan: "Xiaobai, you can take it easy, you don't have to finish it." ”
Xiaobai: "Okay." ”
"The little woman's name is Qiu Yue, and I also salute the young man, you are free. Another slender woman also drank it all. Xiaobai just squinted this time.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Fan proposed: "Spring flowers, autumn moon, you two have some music to help the fun!"
"Obey, Childe!" After speaking, the two women began to play, one playing the guzheng and the other playing the pipa. The music was undulating, elegant and tactful, which made Xiao Fan and Xiao Bai, who were a little drunk, suddenly sober up a lot.
Xiao Fan proposed: "Little White Shaoxia, why don't we stay here tonight, the taste of Gentle Township is good!"
Xiaobai said: "It's getting late, if we don't go back, the county magistrate will be worried." Xiaobai already vaguely understood what Xiao Fan meant, but he was worried about the gentle Xiaoyi in his heart, and he couldn't give more thoughts to other women.
Xiao Fan: "Then we'll go back, Sister Chunhua, Sister Qiuyue, let's spend a good night together another day." ”
Chunhua and Qiuyue sent the two out of the building. Xiao Fan and Xiao Bai took advantage of the hazy moonlight, supported each other, and went back to the county office.
Xiaobai stayed in Tongguan County for five or six days, and there was still no news of the thief.
One day, Xiaobai had nothing to do, so he ran to the north gate city wall to see the scenery. The soldiers defending the city were informed that he was a guest of honor of the county government, and they allowed him to play as he pleased. Xiao Bai saw an old man at the gate of the city pulling a dung truck with difficulty, ready to go out of the city, and the soldiers directly let him go. After careful observation, Xiao Bai found that the old man actually had internal strength, and his difficult pull cart was completely faked! Xiao Bai thought to himself: "Could it be ...... This is indeed a good plan!" Xiao Bai used the internal force of the sun real person and secretly followed the old man with light skills. Xiaobai could only follow from a distance, not daring to get too close, for fear of being discovered by the old man. But seeing that the old man was walking faster and faster in the suburbs, there was indeed a problem! After traveling several miles north, the old man came to the Yellow River, where a big boat was parked. The old man whistled, and five more men flew up from the big boat, and the old man whispered, "One of them is following me." One of the men: "The six of us will kill him and leave, this is the last batch of silver!" "Okay! ”
The six of them ran towards Xiao Bai, surrounded him in the middle, and said with a smile: "Boy, let you be nosy, take your life!" I saw that some of the six people used their fists, some made palms, and some made their claws, and the same fingers were thin and hard, obviously they all had some skills!
Xiaobai held the dagger "Lightning" tightly and quietly transported some internal force, and the tip of the "Lightning" really sent out sparks, and the internal force of this Sun Zhenren was too sharp.
The six of them didn't know what kind of kung fu he was doing, but it was not appropriate to stay for a long time at this moment, so they accelerated their pace and attacked Xiaobai.
If you entangle more, you will definitely be injured by them, Xiaobai thought in his heart, the "lightning" in his hand naturally stabbed the six people around, and each thorn was aimed at their vital point. It didn't take long for Xiaobai to put down six people, leaving only one alive.
The soldiers defending the city also rushed over when they heard the sound of fighting, and when they saw Xiaobai alone, they knocked six people to the ground, and they were all very impressed! A soldier kicked over the dung bucket on the dung truck, revealing a pile of silver, and the silver was wrapped in a fishing net, thinking that it was a thief to wash the silver. Everyone walked onto the big boat by the Yellow River, and more silver was also found from the boat, a total of exactly 10,000 taels!
The county magistrate and Gongzi Xiaofan also came to the Yellow River, arranged for personnel to dispose of the corpses, and escorted the only living mouth back. The county magistrate asked people to carry the 10,000 taels of silver back to the county office. Then he excitedly shook Xiaobai's hands: "Xiaobai Shaoxia is resourceful, and his martial arts are even stronger! Fortunately, there are Shaoxia, otherwise these thieves will die." These silver taels were allocated from above to improve the construction of the city's defenses. The court said that the fourth prince of Zhu bought people's hearts everywhere and intended to rebel. If I lose this batch of silver taels, my black yarn hat will definitely not be able to keep it!"
The county magistrate took everyone back to the city, and entertained Xiaobai Engong with good wine and food. Suddenly, one of his men ran up in a panic. The county magistrate said angrily: "Xiao Lu, why are you doing this! Don't you see our distinguished guests dining?" Xiao Lu: "Tell the master, that thief bit his tongue alive and committed suicide!" The county magistrate slapped the table and said angrily: "What do you think of the people! Xiaobai said in a low voice: "The county magistrate is angry, and he blames the villain for not thinking about it and not leaving a few more alive." The county magistrate: "It's okay, Xiaobai Engong." At least the silver is back. ”
