When everyone returned to Sanqingguan, it was almost dawn.

Jingming went to knock on the door, waited for a long time, and did not see any movement inside, Jingkong felt wrong, performed light skills to climb over the wall into the Taoist temple, as soon as he landed, he was pressed by two black-clothed masked people, one of them pointed his sword at his throat, and the other wrapped his head with a black cloth, and then, they tied Jingkong into a knot.

Everyone waited in the cold wind for a long time, only to hear Xuande Zhenren shouting loudly to clear the air, but no one inside responded. Jingming was impatient, and was about to climb over the wall to go in to have a look, but was stopped by Zhu Hui, he judged that maybe Zhang Gou'er and Song He were inside.

"If you don't help, forget it, why do you want to stop me?" Jingming asked.

Zhu Hui ignored him and shouted loudly: "Two virtuous brothers, if you are here, please promise my brother." ”

Inside the courtyard wall, Zhang Gou'er and Song He were ready to fight, and suddenly heard Zhu Hui's voice, the two tore off their veils at the same time, and ran together to open the gate, Jingming hurriedly ran in and untied his senior brother.

As soon as Xuande Zhenren entered the door, he asked angrily, "Why did you take away the Three Qingguan of the Poor Dao?" Where did the disciples go? After asking, he didn't wait for Zhang Gou'er and Song He's reply, and hurriedly ran towards the God of Wealth Temple, where there were 10,000 taels of silver given to him by Huang Bingwen.

At this time, Chen Yuanhua, who was scarred, was telling Zhang Gou'er about his experience, Song He stopped Xuande Zhenren in front of the God of Wealth Temple, and Jingkong and Jingming stood beside the master on the left and right, looking at this posture, they immediately had to fight.

So, Zhu Hui hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Song He away, and asked, "Brother Xian, where have you been in the past two days?" ”

"Brother, we sent Wu Gongzi to Sanqingguan, chased to Qianzhuang to prepare to assassinate Huang Bingwen, and happened to meet that group of scoundrels who were transporting silver out, in broad daylight, we didn't dare to act rashly, so we secretly followed them to the dock, and saw them load the silver on the ship and transport it away, we also found a boat, chased them for a day before catching up, attacked their cargo ship in the middle of the night, and robbed all the silver of Qianzhuang." Song replied.

"How much silver?" Zhu Hui then asked.

"According to the judgment of Brother Gou'er, there must be at least 300,000 taels."

At this time, Xuande Zhenren's eyes widened, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, "Are they all hidden in this God of Wealth Temple?" ”

"We returned to the dock last night, thinking that you should also arrive, brother, Wu Xianggongzi still lives in Sanqingguan, so I asked the family dart bureau to help, and we were busy until midnight, so we could transport the silver in......"

Before Song He could finish speaking, Xuande Zhenren hurriedly asked, "Where have all my apprentices and grandchildren gone?" ”

"Hehe, they're all scared away." Zhang Gou'er said, and when he got close to Xuande Zhenren, he then asked, "We entrusted Wu Gongzi to you, where did you get him?" ”

"Brother dog, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Hui replied: "Wu Xiang has already returned to Nanjing, please don't worry. ”

It turned out that after Xuande Zhenren was deceived by Huang Bingwen out of Sanqingguan, he sent him to Zhoushan Island with Chen Yuanhua, who refused to give in. At this time, Chen Yuanhua didn't know that the silver he had worked hard to raise for half a year had all been snatched away, and at this moment, he was so anxious that his eyes were full of stars, his head was dizzy, and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Hui squatted down, picked up Chen Yuanhua, looked up and asked, "Where is Huang Bingwen going to transport the silver?" ”

"We attacked the cargo ship in the middle of the night, Huang Bingwen and others fell into the water and fled, and the boatman told us that the ship was going to Nanjing." Zhang Gou'er replied.

Chen Yuanhua opened his confused eyes and said weakly: "This silver is my lifeblood, if someone robs it, it is better to kill me now......"

Zhu Hui persuaded: "Please don't worry, no one wants to hack your silver, of course it's still yours." May I ask Shopkeeper Chen, why did Huang Bingwen and others treat you so ruthlessly? ”

"It's for me to testify and identify the two Japanese merchants he arrested as Japanese criminals."

After listening to Chen Yuanhua's words, Zhu Hui smiled and replied: "Things are by no means so simple, Shopkeeper Chen, Mrs. Liu once accused you of being a pirate, Tang Jing saved you from the Yamen of Yingtian Governor, Lord Hai did not study you deeply, you haven't forgotten this matter, right?" ”

"Of course I remember, I am grateful to Lord Hai and Tang Daguan!"

"The real intention of Huang Bingwen's operation this time is to use the case of Xu Kun's disappearance to make you and Tang Jing admit that they are pirates, to prove that those two Japanese merchants are really widows, and this Xuande Zhenren who escaped from the palace, under the auspices of the brother-in-law of the former governor of Yingtian, you are plotting against you in the Jiangnan area to obtain your confession, and he wants to falsely accuse Lord Hai of conniving at lawbreakers and causing trouble on the southeast coast, and he is trying to take the opportunity to ascend to power. If you really fall for him, hehe, who is Huang Bingwen, you don't need me to introduce you. ”

In order to force Chen Yuanhua to submit, Xuande Zhenren and Tie Niu gave him a lot of reassurance, and he didn't think that he would continue to follow Huang Bingwen in the future, but the risk of doing so was that the two Mr. Matsuura would definitely not survive, and his family members were still in Hirado, Japan, and he didn't dare to agree easily. What's more, he is getting more and more tired of this life of licking blood from the knife edge, and his conscience gradually prevails.

After listening to Zhu Hui's explanation, Chen Yuanhua secretly congratulated himself on his concentration and asked, "Brother Xian, what should we do next?" ”

"Shopkeeper Chen, we must not let Huang Bingwen's conspiracy succeed, we must catch the evidence of his crime and send this shameless person to prison, then, the general number of Nanjing Xinglong Qianzhuang will still belong to you and Wu Gongzi in the future, what do you think?"

When Chen Yuanhua heard this, he asked him to partner with Wu Xiang, hurriedly shook his head, and replied, "Wu Gongzi, forget it." ”

"Shopkeeper Chen, Wu Gongzi has changed his former ......"

"Brother Xian, don't say it again, even if you kill me, I won't partner with Wu Gongzi to do business again!" Chen Yuanhua replied firmly.

At this time, a miserable scream came from the God of Wealth Temple: "Master, wake up quickly......"

Everyone hurriedly ran into the God of Wealth Temple, only to see Xuande Zhenren lying on top of a box of white silver, foaming at the mouth, unconscious, and looking for medicine for the master with clear space and pure light......

Zhu Hui leaned on the ear of Xuande Zhenren and whispered: "Master Zhenren, with this silver for Sichuan travel expenses, we will soon be able to cross the ocean, and the day when you will become a national teacher is not far away." ”

At this time, Xuande Zhenren slowly raised his head, pointed to the box full of silver and asked, "This, is this true?" ”

"It's true, Master Zhenren, please see, these are all white flowers!" Zhu Hui replied.

"Poor Dao this, in this life, and, I have never seen so much silver!"

Hearing this, Chen Yuanhua hurriedly pulled Zhu Hui out of the hall and asked angrily, "Brother Xian, what did you just say?" ”

"Please shopkeeper Chen don't worry, I know that these silvers are all the people's fat and people's ointment that you raised, and after they are transported back to Nanjing, they will be temporarily stored in the Yamen of Yingtian Governor and handed over to Lord Hai for safekeeping, can you rest assured?"

Chen Yuanhua pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

Invite the dart bureau to help, and load the silver into the car, and everyone left Sanqingguan together, arrived at the dock, and rented a cargo ship to Nanjing.

Because Wu Xiang still had a huge amount of money hidden on Zhoushan Island, Zhu Hui took Zhang Gou'er, Song He, Jingkong, Jingming and others to take the silver back and take it away together, and when they came to the courtyard again, they found that it had turned into ashes.

I learned from the villagers that someone had been making noise all night, and early this morning, they set a fire and left here with more than 10 boxes of goods.

Last night, Zhang Hu and others were inspired by Zhu Hui to think that Tie Niu had received benefits, and secretly let Chen Yuanhua and Lao Dao go, and after going back, they wanted to arrest Tie Niu, and searched in the yard for a long time, but they didn't find Tie Niu.

They mistakenly thought that Tie Niu had also fled, just as they were about to go out to search, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the ground, Zhang Hu hurriedly ordered someone to light a torch, found a cellar, and looked inside with the help of the firelight, only to see Tie Niu lying on a row of large boxes, so happy that he almost lost his breath......

Getting Tie Niu out of the cellar, Zhang Hu jumped down, and found that the box was full of silver, roughly calculated, it was enough to be 100,000 taels, and he was stunned, he thought that this was the evidence that Tie Niu accepted bribes from pirates.

It turned out that Tie Niu didn't believe that Xuande Zhenren would escape at all, and when Zhang Hu led people to chase Zhu Hui, he searched for Xuande Zhenren all over the yard, and accidentally fell into this cellar.

At this moment, no one believed in Tie Niu, all of them were on Zhang Hu's side, but Tie Niu was their leader, and the two sides quarreled for a night, and finally, Zhang Hu decided to transport the silver away and go back to Ningbo to find Huang Bingwen to administer justice.

When they passed by the Jinghai Sanqing Temple, they wanted to see if Xuande Zhenren had returned, at this moment, Zhu Hui and the others had been away from here for more than an hour, and they found that the Taoist temple was empty, so they set a fire and burned the Taoist temple.

The group returned to the branch of Ningbo Xinglong Qianzhuang, and found that the door was also locked, and when they found the guy in the store, they found out that Huang took away all the treasury silver, and Li did not do anything, so Zhang Hu and others had to return to Nanjing.

They sent 100,000 taels of silver into the three alleys, but they couldn't find Huang Bingwen, so Tie Niu and Zhang Hu went to Cuihualou to find Liu Bao, told him what happened on Zhoushan Island, and asked him to comment on it.

Liu Bao did not express his position, telling the two of them that the situation was completely clear, it was Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, who colluded with pirates and pirates and pirates, and deliberately made enemies of Lord Huang.

Hearing this, Zhang Hu and Tie Niu, who didn't know what to do, widened their eyes in surprise.

Then, Liu Bao explained to them: Huang Bingwen was attacked on the Yangtze River on the way back to Nanjing from Ningbo, and a huge amount of money was robbed.

According to the information report just got, Zhu Hui and others also came back, and before they got off the boat, they first sent someone to ask Hai Rui and handed over a huge sum of money to the Yamen of Yingtian Governor, and then, Zhu Hui sent Xuande Zhenren and Chen Yuanhua and others to Qixia Mountain, which shows that the mastermind who sent people to attack Huang Bingwen was Hai Rui.

So, Liu Bao sent Tie Niu to take people to Qixia Temple to investigate, and after he found Xuande Zhenren and Chen Yuanhua, he immediately went to inform Huang Bingwen and sent the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to take action.

Then, Liu Bao sent Zhang Hu to hurry back to the three alleys, let him be responsible for the safety here, don't let the two "widows" have an accident, and at the same time, he has to continue to keep an eye on the Tang Mansion, once he finds the fake Jinyi Guard, he will be arrested immediately and escorted to the Shenji Camp for disposal.

The two of them were ordered to leave Cuihualou, Tie Niu took a group of scoundrels, quietly came to Qixia Temple, just when they were all around, they were discovered by Han Xiaoyu, she thought that Tie Niu was looking for Yue'er's mother and daughter, so she quickly notified Elder Yuekong.

Due to the increasing number of people living in the Thousand Buddha Nunnery, especially after the arrival of Xuande Zhenren's master and apprentice and Chen Yuanhua, based on safety considerations, they were preparing to transfer the female dependents to Taicang Huangdu Port, and after hearing Han Xiaoyu's news, Elder Yuekong did not dare to slack off, so he asked Han Xiaoyu to return to the Thousand Buddha Nunnery as soon as possible, arranged for everyone to be transferred urgently, and at the same time, sent Song He to Tangfu to inform Zhu Hui and others.

After returning to Nanjing, Zhu Hui has not been idle in the past two days, and today he finally got free to visit Wu Xiang in the Jushilin of Eagle Peak Temple.

Standing outside the door, Zhu Hui heard the sound of reading, and was very relieved that this superb uncle had finally changed his mind, so he pushed the door with a smile and walked in.

At this moment, Wu Xiang, who was holding a scroll in his hand, was sitting on the Taishi chair, reading the excitement, patting his thigh and sighing: "God is really unfair, why don't I have such a good life as the damn Ximen official!" ”

Suddenly, seeing Zhu Hui break in, Wu Xiang hurriedly covered his mouth, sank his face, took out an elder's style, and asked solemnly: "Brother-in-law, it's rare that you can remember that there is still my brother, which gust of wind blew you here?" ”

Zhu Hui stepped forward to salute and greeted: "It seems that my brother knows how to work hard, which is really rare." As he spoke, he put the gift he had brought on the table.

Wu Xiang hurriedly lifted the gift, put it aside, picked up a piece of paper pressed underneath, blew it very carefully, and glared at Zhu Hui fiercely.

"May I ask if this is written by Lord Wang? Or did Mr. Wu write it? ”

"This is what your brother and I wrote! In our Jinling City, I am afraid that someone who can compare to my brother's small hand has not yet been born. ”

Zhu Hui took a closer look, and the tadpole-sized text was really written like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, strong and powerful, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim: It seems that this eldest brother is really the best, and he really can't be underestimated in the future......

"May I ask why Lord Wang and Mr. Wu are not here?"

"They went to the East Garden for dinner, your brother and I were obsessed with reading, and forgot the time, brother-in-law, come with me to Xu Daguan's house for dinner."

"I won't go, I still have to go to Qixia Mountain today, please take care of my brother, don't leave it here, and come to see you another day."

"It's fine." Wu Xiang said, holding the scroll in his hand and following him out of the door, seeing that his brother-in-law was about to leave with the horse, he couldn't help wiping his tears, crying and preaching: "Brother-in-law, for the sake of my own sister, can you let me go to Qixia Mountain with you, let me see Lian'er, now, my parents have passed away, in this world, brother and I only have two relatives, you and Lian'er......"

Hearing him talk about the sadness, Zhu Hui was also quite moved, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and replied, "You can go with me to see Lian'er." ”

"My brother-in-law is really reasonable." Wu Xiang said, the scroll caught under his armpit accidentally fell to the ground.

Zhu Hui picked it up for him, flipped through it casually, and saw that the title page read: Lanling smiled and smiled

Wu Xiang snatched the scroll back and said solemnly: "If you don't understand this book, don't flip through it." As he spoke, he took the scroll into his bosom and led the horse out of the Layman Forest.

The two rode a horse together, went out of the mountain gate of the Eagle Peak Temple, walked forward along Changbai Street, and prepared to go out of the city from the Tongji Gate.

I saw Zhang Hu sitting on a tall horse, waving his knife and pointing at Zhu Hui and Wu Xiang, and shouting: "Brothers, arrest these two traitors." ”

This voice frightened Wu Xiang, he hugged Zhu Hui's waist tightly, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what can I do about this?" ”

"Brother, don't be afraid, I'll deal with them, you hurry back, bypass them, and go to the Thousand Buddha Nunnery in Qixia Mountain to find Wu Lian."

When Zhu Hui jumped off the horse, Wu Xiang hurriedly turned the horse's head and urged the horse to run backwards.

At this time, Zhu Hui stopped Zhang Hu and shouted: "Ignorant grass people, you are really bold, you have intercepted this flag five times and three times, what do you want to do?" ”

"Hehe, although my old Zhang is a grass citizen, he is employed by Lord Huang, the criminal officer in charge of the East Factory, to do things for the imperial court; And you, a pirate who escaped from overseas, pretended to be the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, what should you be guilty of? Brothers, don't listen to the rhetoric of this stinky boy, take him down for me! ”

A large group of scoundrels waved their blades and surrounded them, Zhu Hui suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, took out the waist card of the Jinyi Guard from his arms, turned around and asked, "Open your dog's eyes and see, which one dares to come?" ”

Although Liu Bao repeatedly emphasized that Zhu Hui was a pirate brought back by Tang Jing, this gang of scoundrels was not stupid, and when they saw the waist card in Zhu Hui's hand, they were so frightened that they retreated one by one, and they followed Zhang Hu and Tie Niu, just to eat together.

Zhang Hu had seen Zhu Hui's skills on Zhoushan Island, although Huang Bingwen supported him, but in Jinling City, he was a grass man with no reputation, and he did not dare to easily move with the young man holding the brocade clothes and waist card, sitting on the war horse, looking at the direction of Changbai Street, and did not say anything for a long time.

Zhu Hui suddenly realized that it was not good, and shook his body to prepare to break out of the encirclement......

At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Hu shouting: "Brothers, collect the troops!" ”

The gang of scoundrels suddenly all retreated behind Zhang Hu, and Zhu Hui turned to look at Changbai Street, only to see that his horse was running towards him like crazy......
