"What are your plans now?" Zhu Hui asked.

Wu Xiang blinked his eyes and asked, "Where is my sister Wu Lian now?" ”

Zhu Hui was slightly amused and replied, "She is very good now, please don't worry about it." Now that Tie Niu has taken over your money bank, since you are so afraid of him, then, you should go back to Nanjing first. ”

"Brother-in-law, you know that my brother and all my family property have been deceived by Huang Bingwen, a bastard, but fortunately, Zhang Gou'er and Song He, two good brothers, helped me snatch back 100,000 taels of silver from the money bank, which is the life-saving money of our brother and sister, logically speaking, these silver have nothing to do with that Zhang Gou'er and Song He, you help me transport it back to Nanjing from Zhoushan Island, how about it?"

Obviously, he instructed Zhang Gou'er and Song He to let them transfer the treasury silver in the bank in time before Huang Bingwen seized the Ningbo branch of Xinglong Qianzhuang, but in Wu Xiang's mouth, it became these two people who helped him recover the capital. Zhu Hui knew that this superb uncle couldn't let go of this matter, but all this silver was raised from the hands of the people, if the money village really stopped, then it would have to be returned to others, but if he said this now, it is estimated that he would have to turn his face immediately.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Hui replied: "It's okay, but this matter has to be discussed with Chen Yuanhua, I heard that he is still a serious businessman, in short, brother, you can't sit and eat empty in the future, if we can defeat Huang Bingwen and drive away the iron bull, the younger brother advises you to do it with him." ”

The Ningbo branch of Xinglong Qianzhuang was opened, and Huang Bingwen did allocate 100,000 taels to Chen Yuanhua from Wu Xiang's silver, but how much Wu Xiang spent in Ningbo, he knew very well in his heart that if this matter had to be discussed with Chen Yuanhua, he might not get a penny, so he immediately pulled his face down and said angrily:

"Brother-in-law, you can't turn your elbow out! Can this matter be discussed with Chen Yuanhua? Besides, I see that Chen Yuanhua, Xuande Zhenren, and your two worshippers are all more auspicious, and your brother and I are also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect ourselves! Brother-in-law, listen to me, help my brother get the silver out and send me back to my hometown in Huizhou. ”

"Why did my brother say that?"

"Listening to Chen Yuanhua, Huang Bingwen made a big fuss at noon and frightened the holy driver, this matter is not over, he temporarily relieved himself on the grounds of arresting Cai Dezhong who colluded with demons and widows, not to mention that he wants to falsely accuse Hai Rui now, then, if you think about what he will do next, it must be to subdue Chen Yuanhua, Xuande Zhenren, and the pair of Songpu brothers, string together the confessions of these people, and frame the Yamen of Yingtian Governor, since Cai Dezhong counted, there are people in the yamen who collude with lawbreakers, even if Hai Rui is not involved, it is also a crime of dereliction of duty, And the one who can string these things together is none other than your brother and me. ”

Finding that this superb uncle was quite smart, Zhu Hui couldn't help but ask: "In this way, you must be arrested before Huang Bingwen can get things done, then, do you think Xuande Zhenren and Chen Yuanhua will comply?" ”

"Hehe, I won't tell you, what Chen Yuanhua will do, I don't know; If Xuande Zhenren and Tang Jing fall into his hands, hehe, I'm sure they will definitely fall into the ground. ”

Zhu Hui really didn't dare to underestimate this eldest brother, and then asked, "Could it be that Xuande is not reliable?" ”

Wu Xiang nodded and sighed: "Alas, this old way is the most unproductive, he is a soft bone, and he has lived for such a long time in vain. ”

"In this case, will Huang Bingwen have already escorted them to the capital?"

"Not necessarily, Huang Bingwen still has a few things to do, I guess that he will first escort Chen Yuanhua back to Ningbo, and after subduing him, Tie Niu can take over the business here, and then go back to Nanjing to arrest Tang Jing, he may think that Tang Jing and I are easier to deal with, and when we are all caught and get the confession he wants, we will be handed over to the Criminal Department for conclusion, then, Hai Rui is really in a catastrophe."

Zhu Hui was also worried that Wu Xiang would have another accident, and asked: "Brother, in this way, even if you are sent back to your hometown in Huizhou, it may not be safe, you might as well go back to Nanjing first, I will write you a letter, how about you go to Bailuzhou Eagle Peak Temple for a while, and wait for me to come back?" ”

"Won't you come with me?"

"Listen to your judgment, since Xuande Zhenren has fallen into their hands, I estimate that Sanqingguan can't be saved, I can't sit idly by, after you leave, we will immediately return to Qianzhuang, go to rescue Chen Yuanhua and Xuande Zhenren, and then go to Zhoushan Island to retrieve the silver, do you think it's okay?"

"It's fine. Brother-in-law, can you write a letter to Tang Daguan and let me live in his house for a few days, that mansion has just been completed, and I haven't warmed the nest, so I sold it to Tang Jing, a bastard, to be honest, your brother and I are unwilling. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and seeing Zhu Hui getting up to open the door, Wu Xiang grabbed him and whispered: "Brother-in-law, bring some money, your brother I am penniless now." ”

Zhu Hui took out an ingots from his arms, handed it to Wu Xiang, then got up and opened the door, only to see Jingkong and Jingming standing outside the door in a panic.

"Old thief, what did you hear?" Wu Xiang asked with a snort.

Jingming pulled Wu Xiang out of the door and scolded: "You get out of here!" ”

At this time, Jingkong lay in Zhu Hui's ear and whispered: "I heard that my master is being detained on Zhoushan Island, may I ask the Chief Banner Master, can you help us?" ”

"Is the message exact?" Zhu Hui asked.

"The news from our Taoist disciples should not be wrong."

Zhu Hui nodded, and then, hurriedly arranged for Wu Xiang to return to Nanjing, gave him his horses, gave him a thousand instructions, and gave him some soft before leaving, and sent him out of Sanqingguan.

Without hesitation, under the leadership of a little Taoist priest, Zhu Hui, Jingkong and Jingming immediately took a boat to Zhoushan Island and found the address where Xuande Zhenren was imprisoned, which was the place where Wu Xiang married Zhang Min'er.

Zhu Hui and others stood on Changgang Mountain and climbed high to look out, the distance was like a fairyland, the afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled in the quiet bay, the village was surrounded by mountains and facing the sea, this courtyard was located at the intersection of the post road, and there was nothing in the courtyard, but there was a group of scoundrels patrolling around.

Because he didn't know whether Huang Bingwen was here, Zhu Hui didn't dare to act rashly, thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a plan of action, which was approved by these Taoist priests.

Zhu Hui gave Wu Xiang the last ingots and fine softness, and now he only had fifteen copper coins on his body, so he asked, "How much does it cost to ask a boatman to wait for us for a night?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to pay at least two taels of silver." Clearance replied.

"What can I do?" Zhu Hui asked helplessly.

At this time, Jingkong found that Jingming still had an ingots in his arms, so he said: "Senior brother, take out the ingots." ”

Jingming twisted his neck and asked, "Senior brother, where are you going to change change?" ”

"For the safety of your master, give the ingots to the boatman first, and when you return to Nanjing, you will return it twice." Zhu Hui replied.

Jingming didn't take out the ingots on his body, but asked for the copper coin in Zhu Hui's hand, handed it to the little Taoist, and said: "Senior brother, take it to make a deposit for the boatman first, let him wait for us at the ferry, and after crossing the sea, it will not be too late to give him this ingot." ”

The little Taoist priest took the copper coin and left, Jingming took out the water hyacinth and dry food from the package, and the three of them began to eat dinner.

Zhu Hui rarely drank alcohol, and he was afraid of drinking and making mistakes, so he asked, "Is this wine or water?" ”

"My brother and I are both orphans, we grew up with Master since childhood, and in the eyes of others, Master has many shortcomings, but we know that he not only adheres to the rules and precepts, but also has a very kind heart." Clearance replied.

Zhu Hui smiled slightly, what happened in the Taicang Yuelai Inn, he was very clear, not to mention drinking wine and eating meat, he even took "that medicine", it seems that Xuande Zhenren is really hypocritical.

"Master is not only good-hearted, but also auspicious. Chief Bannerman, do you know? Those people who followed Master Bowang Jin into the Forbidden City back then, except for my master, were all killed by Emperor Longqing. Jingming preached.

Listening to Wu Xiang's words just now, Xuande Zhenren is very likely to defect to Huang Bingwen, these two disciples of his are really loyal to their master, in tonight's action, if their master helps Huang Bingwen speak, then these two are very likely to fight back......

Thinking of this, Zhu Hui said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, good! I believe that you will be able to rescue your master today, have the two Taoist masters ever thought that you have inadvertently made great contributions to the imperial court! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jingming asked in surprise.

"Regardless of whether your master is a traitor or not, but the two of you are unwavering in the face of righteousness, this banner will definitely tell the old prince of Chengguo, and ask for merit and reward for the two, at least you can get a reputation from the seventh grade."

These words made Jingming very excited, and sighed: "Back then, the master followed the master Wang Jin into the palace, and everyone was looking forward to waiting for the master to become a national teacher, and he could reward us with an official position. ”

"In this way, you haven't been in Ningbo for a long time, so how did Xuande Zhenren and Wu Xiang meet?" Zhu Hui asked.

Jingkong was very embarrassed, and replied very reluctantly: "Last spring, Wu Xiang's mansion had just been completed, so he invited us to see Feng Shui. However, Wu Gongzi's heart was too high, and he didn't agree with each other, so he beat my master, and we couldn't get along in Nanjing, so we had to flee back to our hometown in Shaoxing. ”

Zhu Hui smiled when he heard this, and said with emotion: "Xuande Zhenren is really a god!" ”

Jingming then said: "The chief flag master smiled, and later I learned that Wu Xiang's house was sold after a few days, and later, he also came to Ningbo and was convinced by my master, so the two became good friends." ”

Jingkong didn't know whether Zhu Hui was praising his master or scolding him, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "Master is old, if he can be rescued today, I am willing to find a paradise for our master and apprentice to live in peace." ”

This sentence reminded Zhu Hui, and he hurriedly asked: "My master, Elder Yuekong, should be older than Xuande Zhenren, and he still has ambitions, and he wants to go to the paradise on the other side of the ocean to teach me the civilization of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China, and compare with the missionaries of the Hongmao Country, the Buddha and the Taoist family, I don't know if you are willing to go together?" ”

Jingming stopped doing it, and hurriedly retorted: "Didn't you say that if we made meritorious deeds today, we can wear python robes and black yarns, and go back to our hometown to be county masters?" "Ask, shake your head like a rattle.

"May I ask Mr. Zhu, do you want to accompany Elder Yuekong with you?" Clearance asked.

Zhu Hui replied seriously: "I, Zhang Gou'er, and Song He will escort the master together. ”

"That's good! If Master wishes, we will go together. ”

Hearing that the senior brother agreed, Jingming had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, anyway, I will listen to the master for everything." ”

It was slowly getting dark, and the little Taoist priest booked the ferry, and the four of them started to act separately. Zhu Hui was responsible for luring the scoundrels out of the courtyard, and the light skills of clearing the air and purifying the light were very good, and they climbed over the wall to save people.

Coming to the door of this mansion alone, Zhu Hui said loudly: "Chief Banner Officer of the Fusi Division of Jinyi Weibei Town, there is an urgent matter to meet Lord Huang Bingwen!" ”

After shouting three times in a row, the courtyard door opened, and Tie Niu asked, "You said that you are the chief flag officer of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, what is the evidence?" ”

Zhu Hui looked at Tie Niu reservedly, and replied solemnly: "What are you guys, please ask Lord Huang to come out and answer." ”

Tie Niu didn't want to fight with Zhu Hui, and said, "Lord Huang is not here, you should leave quickly." As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Zhu Hui stepped forward and grabbed Tie Niu's clothes, took out the waist card of Jinyiwei, and shouted: "Open your dog's eyes and see, Lao Tzu is the governor of the five armies, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the Chengguo Gong, and the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Weibei Town, you dare to be so rude." ”

Tie Niu suddenly panicked and shouted, "Come on! ”。

In the blink of an eye, a large group of scoundrels ran out, all standing behind Tie Niu, supporting him and emboldening him.

Tie Niu still didn't dare to offend the chief flag officer, and said with a smile: "Chief Flag Master, it's no wonder that I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, you don't remember the villain, hehe......"

In order to delay time, Zhu Hui pointed at his nose and scolded: "What are you!" ”

"Master Qi, I know that I am not a thing, but, Lord Huang is really, really not there."

Zhu Hui judged that if Huang Bingwen was really inside, I was afraid that he would have run out a long time ago, so he spoke boldly and confidently: "This banner is ordered by the old prince of Chengguo to supervise the case of Ying Tianfu and the Japanese Kou, and let Huang Bingwen, who is a thing, come out and speak." ”

found that this little chief flag officer didn't take Huang Bingwen in his eyes at all, they all knew that the good ones didn't come, and the people who came were not good, although Tie Niu kept giving them a look, but no one dared to do it.

So, Zhu Hui pulled out the embroidered spring knife, put it on Tie Niu's neck, and pulled him back slowly, at this time, a large group of scoundrels ran out one after another, all of them followed Tie Niu, moving forward step by step, no one knew what this brocade guard wanted to do?

After taking the iron ox and walking out for more than 300 steps, Zhu Hui judged that Jingkong and Jingming had already entered the courtyard, suddenly stopped, and asked sharply, "Where did Huang Bingwen go?" ”

Tie Niu's head shrank in fright, and he stammered and replied: "Chief Banner Master, you, you and Lord Huang have gone to two forks, you have gone here, come here to find him, and he, after he sent that pirate, immediately returned to the capital. ”

It seems that it's not just Xuande Zhenren who is imprisoned here, what Wu Xiang said is really good, maybe Chen Yuanhua and others are also inside, but I don't know if Jingkong and Jingming will rescue them?

It is necessary to give them some more time so that they can have a chance to save people, Zhu Hui continued to embarrass Tie Niu, and asked loudly: "Such an rude thing, tell Benqi quickly, what is your surname, and where is your name?" ”

Tie Niu was frightened, and didn't dare to answer the question head-on, and said with a smile: "It's all strange that the little one has no eyes and no beads, and he treats the chief flag master slowly, and in the middle of the night, on this desert island, you can't go back, just live with us, and the little one will accompany you to drink a few more glasses and make amends for your sins." ”

At this time, the scoundrels spread out and surrounded Zhu Hui and Tie Niu, Zhu Hui scolded in his heart: This group of scum with no faith, no bottom line, and no conscience, God has put on a human skin for you!

When the confrontation was tense, a melodious whistle came from the distance, and Zhu Hui knew that Jingkong and Jingming had succeeded, but he still had to continue to entangle for a while.

After being silent for a long time, he felt that the scoundrels were about to make trouble, and at this time, Zhu Hui asked unhurriedly: "Although you don't dare to let Benqi know your name, I heard that someone sent his own sister to Cuihualou, and later let her follow Lord Huang, so that he could be regarded as making a name for himself, in exchange for being Lord Huang's bodyguard, could it be that this person is you, right?" ”

After hearing this, some people couldn't hold back their laughter......

As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, Zhu Hui was also a little nervous, and suddenly heard the whistle coming again, so he released the iron bull and said loudly: "Everyone, this flag still has important business, and it will not be difficult for you to return to Nanjing overnight." ”

With that, Zhu Hui turned around and walked away, and the group of people surrounded Tie Niu, laughing one by one......
