279, New Year's goods

A bearded man with a cloth bag in his hand strode towards the side door of Baoning Hetang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Baoning and the front store of the hall, this side door is also the main entrance and exit of the Zhang family. Because it is located in the downtown area, there are a lot of pedestrians, and when I saw such a fierce and vicious man coming, the burden in his hand couldn't help dripping blood, and they all looked sideways and avoided it in fright.

The bearded man stood still at the door of Zhang's house, and said to the porter in a loud voice: "Well, ask your housekeeper to come out, and say that the Feng shopkeeper who is famous on the Green Forest Road, known as Feng Kenan, has killed his enemy and asked him to come out to claim it." ”

What a majestic and heroic statement these words are! Pedestrians on the street suddenly avoided the light. No one knows if they are really hiding, or if they are secretly looking for a secret and are about to be informed.

The concierge of the Zhang family was taken aback, where did such a fool come from!

He originally wanted to step forward and drive away, but when he compared each other's size, the three of them were stacked together, and they might have a body as big as someone else's, so it was better to think about it. Especially the man who claimed to have killed someone, carried a bloody burden in his hand, and carried a large knife behind his back, no matter how you look at it, he is not a good type.

The porter was so frightened that he had to retreat into the house and hurriedly reported to Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang was a person who had mixed up on the rivers and lakes before washing his hands, and he was also a good hand at robbing houses. He listened to the briefing, and secretly said in his heart: This is not right, the two teams I arranged, one by land and the other by water, are all my old friends back then, where did this Feng Kenan come from? Is this man famous? I've never heard of it!

Although Steward Zhang had doubts in his heart, he hurried out of the mansion and saw the stout man at a glance. His eyes glanced at the burden on Feng Kenan's hand, and his heart was even more puzzled: Is this the helper that my old friends have found? There's no reason to call such a bad guy to report the news!

Steward Zhang didn't like it, so he stepped forward and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" He approached Feng Kenan and lowered his voice: "How can you come down to the house in broad daylight!" Haven't you ever done a deal? ”

Feng Kenan laughed three times, and didn't say much to him, but said: "I have thick skin, come and wrap more." ”

When Steward Zhang heard this, he secretly said in his heart: It turned out that my "friends" wanted to increase the price and deliberately found such a bad person to make trouble. It makes sense to say this, but it is a habit on the green forest road. He gritted his teeth and said, "How much?" ”

Feng Kenan stretched out a hand and shook it.

Steward Zhang said in his heart: This is to add fifty taels! It's too dark too.

However, people stand at the door of the house with their heads in their hands, and everything can only be done safely.

Steward Zhang had no choice but to say, "Please come in and talk." ”

Feng Kenan refused to move, still standing as steady as a mountain, and said: "If I don't see the silver, I won't move a single step." ”

Steward Zhang was helpless, took out the fifty taels he had prepared earlier, and informed Zhang Chengde that he had paid fifty taels from the account room and made up one hundred taels of silver.

Feng Kenan threw the blood-soaked cloth bag to Steward Zhang, took the silver and left.

Steward Zhang looked around and saw that the neighbors were hiding behind the doors and windows to spy secretly, and sighed in his heart: this time he will spend a sum of money to block the mouth of the yamen.

He didn't worry about the head in his hand, as long as he dug a deep pit in the house and buried it. When the catchers came, they said that they had been blackmailed by someone, and the silver they gave in order to settle things in the New Year. Although this reason is very general, but the catchers took the red envelope, so they didn't care.

Steward Zhang checked the cloth bag in his hand, and was about to go inside, when he suddenly saw his acquaintance riding a horse, holding a cloth bag in his hand, his heart trembled, and shouted: "Who is the one who walks the horse in the city, so luxurious!" ”

The man hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said, "Brother, I live up to my trust, but I have some small dividends, so I have come to pay a New Year's greeting to Steward Zhang." ”

This person is the leader of the bandits who ambushed Xu Xiaole, the real old man of Steward Zhang!

Steward Zhang saw that he carried the cloth bag in his hand, and said in a lost voice: "Haven't you already given me the New Year's goods?" ”

The bandit leader was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the wave of people who were ambushed by the waterway. He said secretly: It must be that those people didn't wait for Xu Xiaole, and randomly found a ghost for the dead to cheat money, but fortunately I caught up!

He smiled and said, "Steward Zhang, the genuine goods are here, and yours are probably Xibei goods." ”

Of course, Steward Zhang believed in the acquaintances he knew, and when he opened the cloth bag, he saw that it was a real dog head!

He staggered two steps and exclaimed, "I was deceived! ”

The bandit leader didn't care whether Steward Zhang had been deceived or not, took out the wooden box, and said, "I'm here for a genuine festival." ”

Steward Zhang's heart is like a knife: If you take it out at the gate, do you have to increase the price?

The bandit leader said: "For this festival, there is a little brother who is seriously injured, I'm afraid I have to help you, brother." ”

Steward Zhang said, "You wait." Then he turned and went into the house.

This time he would be embarrassed to go in. Just now, I had fifty taels more than the master, which already made the master very unhappy. As a result, I spent a hundred taels to buy a dog's head, and I could only eat Coptis dumbly, and I couldn't tell if I was bitter. This is simply a bad year!

Now there is another one, and it is also a price increase, how to say this!

Zhang Chengde calmed down and said: "Send someone to chase that liar first, and dare to deceive me, if you don't convince him, I won't be surnamed Zhang!" He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But since the matter is done, let him go with him a little silver tael." Give him an extra ten taels, but this time you can verify your identity! ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly said, "The little one understands." ”

He turned to go out, only to see his old friend still waiting at the door, looking very impatient.

Steward Zhang stepped forward and said, "The matter of silver has been decided, but I have to inspect the goods first." ”

A hint of hideousness flashed in the bandit leader's eyes, and he said, "This is as it should be." He opened the box and turned to Steward Zhang. Deliberately showing his hair in a bun so that he would know that it was a real human head.

If Steward Zhang stops, everyone can still maintain a little affection, but the poor housekeeper was cheated of a hundred taels of silver on the morning of the first day of the New Year, and this is the time when the suspicion is the heaviest, and he is willing to give money only if he recognizes Xu Xiaole's face.

The bandit leader turned his heart and slammed the box into the face of the person in charge.

A box of quicklime dazzled Steward Zhang's eyes.

Steward Zhang was flustered for a while, and he felt that something like a human head had fallen in his arms. Although the eyes can't see, when touched with the hand, it has a nose and eyes, and it will never be a fake dog's head.

The bandit leader shouted, "Sorry, my hand slipped! No, I have to go! As he spoke, he snatched the silver bag from Steward Zhang's hand, strode to the captured horse, and galloped away on the horse.

Steward Zhang didn't know how many generations of ancestors he had scolded this old friend, so he hurriedly stuffed the head back into the box, and hurriedly went back to find vegetable oil to wash his eyes. Quicklime gets into the eye, and once you wash it with water, the eye is blind.
