Zhou Zhi actually didn't want to burn donkey meat to make the Xu family unique and become the patent of the Xu family. But it is a good choice to let the Xu family take the first step, occupy business opportunities and markets, and benefit from it.

Although he has not yet let everyone in Baoding Mansion live a good life, such lofty ideals and open-mindedness, he has also taken these into account vaguely. However, in Zhou Zhi's mind, the people of the Ming Dynasty are very smart, although Xu Laiyun will be in the front, but after a year or two, this method of making donkey meat will definitely spread in Baoding Mansion and even farther away.

Zhou Zhi was busy in Xu's snack shop, and before he knew it, he said goodbye to Xu Laiyun until late at night.

Although it was May weather, the night wind was still a little cold.

Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu covered their clothes together and strode back to the inn. It is only two miles away from the Dengfeng Inn, and at this time the bustling Erdaoqiao Street is deserted, and there are no pedestrians, and by this hour, the shops have naturally closed their doors.

The two of them walked almost halfway through the distance, and a black shadow flashed on the opposite side, and the black shadow was sneaky and hurried. He was rushing towards him, as if he had seen Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

In the dark night, that person passed by Zhou Zhi Qi Yanwu.

As soon as he passed, Qi Yanwu exclaimed, 'Brother, are you your brother?' ”

The man stopped abruptly, turned around and asked, "Are you ...... Are you Xiao Wu? ”

There was no shortage of excitement in the voice.

"Brother, I'm Xiao Wu!" Qi Yanwu was even more excited and said.

Zhou Zhi had already stopped and turned around to watch. Qi Yanwu called that person's brother, and Zhou Zhi had already learned that Qi Yanwu's brother was Qi Yanming. Qi Yanming is a well-known figure, in the Zhengde period, the peasant uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi that began in Bazhou, Qi Yanming was their important leader.

And Qi Yanwu had already said that his brother Qi Yanming came to Beizhili to become a thief. When he sees his brother one day, he will definitely make him look good.

But after all, they are flesh and blood, and blood is thicker than water. Seeing Qi Yanwu at this time, he was very excited to see his brother Qi Yanming, as if he had forgotten that his brother was a thief.

Qi Yanming had already walked two steps to Qi Yanwu, looked Qi Yanwu up and down, and said, "It's really Xiao Wu, my brother!" ”

His voice was choked, and he hugged Qi Yanwu tightly. staged a scene of brothers meeting and being surprised and gratified.

After a long time, the two separated, and without waiting for Qi Yanming to speak, Qi Yanwu first asked, "Brother, how did you come here, what have you been doing all these years?" ”

Qi Yanwu's question seemed to lose the slightest emotion in an instant, and he became a little indifferent.

"This ...... This...... When my brother heard that his family had suffered and that his father and mother had died, my brother was very sad. I always want to go home to see, but I can't get out of it after all. Over the years, my brother has been wandering outside, but life is not bad. Qi Yanming hesitated slightly, then said softly.

Having said this, Qi Yanming's words suddenly changed, and he asked urgently, "How has Xiao Wu been doing all these years?" Seeing that Xiao Wu's size is much taller than before, and he is much stronger than before. ”

Qi Yanwu didn't hide it, so he fled from his hometown in Shandong, and then the Zhou family rescued him, and he told the story of settling in the Zhou family in detail.

Qi Yanming nodded heavily, took two steps forward to Zhou Zhi, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for the young master of the Zhou family, if it weren't for the young master of the Zhou family, my little brother might have ...... if he wanted to come."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhi interrupted him and said, "This place is not a place to speak, since this brother Tai is Xiao Wu's brother, why don't you go to the inn with us." ”

Knowing that he was Qi Yanming, Zhou Zhi naturally looked at him for a while.

Speaking of which, although Qi Yanwu and Qi Yanming are brothers, their appearances are very different. Qi Yanwu's eyebrows are delicate, and he looks a little quiet. And this Qi Yanming is a burly man, with eyes and an eagle nose, and his body exudes a fierce aura. Even when he speaks, he is in the sound of an urn, and the sound of the chamber is very loud.

Qi Yanming pondered for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

So, the three of them quickly returned to the Dengfeng Inn guest room.

Lu Xingchuan and Yue Shuzhen naturally had already turned off the lights and fell asleep at this time. In fact, they have not been out of the house since they stayed in the inn, and they have been studying and writing hard until they are dizzy. Zhou Zhi went out to hang out, and they didn't know anything.

Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu were in the same room, they came into the room, Zhou Zhi saw more clearly, Qi Yanming was actually bulging behind him, looking at the shape, it was estimated that it was a machete. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but secretly think to himself, what was this Qi Yanming doing in Baoding Mansion. A thief like him, who has been a thief for several years, will not be able to do good things if he wants to go out late at night.

However, Qi Yanming led the people to revolt and do evil, after all, it was ten years later, as for what Qi Yanming is thinking and acting now, because there is no too much contact, there is naturally no way to judge.

Zhou Zhi pretended not to know, and asked Qi Yanming to sit down very enthusiastically, and exchanged a few words with Qi Yanming, and Zhou Zhi stopped talking and left more time for the two brothers.

Qi Yanwu's little face was tense, and he said to Qi Yanming again, "Brother, I heard that you became a thief, is this true or false?" ”

Qi Yanming was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said, "What are you talking about Xiao Wu?" Daddy taught us to be kind to others and be honest since we were young, and my brother has been helping people all these years, doing some bodyguards and protecting homes and the like, how did he become a thief.

Xiao Wu, my brother has also saved some money over the years, and today we two brothers meet, why don't Xiao Wu go with my brother, so that my brother can take care of you. ”

After Qi Yanming finished speaking, without waiting for Qi Yanwu to speak, he immediately stood up, took out a large cloth bag from his arms, and put it on the table. Then he said to Zhou Zhi, "Young Master of the Zhou family, here are more than thirty taels of silver, Young Master of the Zhou family, I have taken care of Xiao Wu in the past two years, I am really tired, so I should thank you."

Of course, the great kindness of the young master of the Zhou family to my little brother, I also know that I can't thank you with these mere silver, I just show my heart a little. In the future, the young master of the Zhou family is driven, and I will never give up. ”

The words are extraordinarily polite and reasonable.

Zhou Zhi was slightly stunned.

Qi Yanwu immediately said, "Brother, who said that Xiao Wu was going to follow you, Xiao Wu has been a member of the Zhou family in this life, how could he follow his brother?"

Brother, you still tell Xiao Wu truthfully, have you not done good deeds and become a thief over the years? ”

Although the two brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, they are all excited and happy about this coincidence. But after a short period of joy, Qi Yanwu always asked like this, which couldn't help but make Qi Yanming a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Why does Xiao Wu always say this? Your brother is a good man. ”

"Humph! Why did the good man come out at night, still carrying a knife, and there were some blood stains on your clothes, what did you do, brother? Qi Yanwu immediately said coldly.
