When they entered the door, they found that there was not a single diner in the hall, and when they heard that some guests were coming, a few men who ran out of the hall came out, all with courteous smiles, and invited the five of them upstairs into the private room, and then the men went downstairs to receive the porters. [Full text reading. 】

Everyone sat down in the private room, and Shen Mao beckoned the guy to order, and it could be seen that he was very familiar with the people here.

Worried about the silver in the car downstairs, Zhu Hui ran downstairs with the dart master, only to see the guy take the recipe and go outside, let the group of porters guard the dart car to eat, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, so the two of them went to the restaurant with confidence.

At this moment, someone sent a jar of yellow mud to the old cellar, and Shen Mao said with a smile: "Nanguo Tanggou, open the altar for ten miles and smell it, come, come, come, please smell it first." ”

The guy held the wine jar and smelled it for everyone, and there was indeed a strong fragrance, mellow and elegant taste.

Immediately afterwards, the hot and cold dishes of four meat and eight vegetables came up one after another, Shen Mao hugged the wine jar, poured the wine for everyone, and was not polite to each other, everyone ate and drank, and listened to Shen Mao talk about the affairs of the Qinhuai River, full of wine and food, and the day had passed the Shen time.

Please come to the shopkeeper to settle the bill, the shopkeeper also gave Shen Mao a face, a twenty percent discount, and each of them sent a jar of old soup ditch, everyone expressed their gratitude, and then out of this restaurant, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, sent them to the door, and kept saying hello, please Shen Gongzi, Zhu Gongzi to come a few more times.

Shen Mao turned around and exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper, and suddenly heard a dart master shouting: "Where have our dart carts and porters gone?" ”

Zhu Hui was still guarding Shen Mao's side, and when he heard the shouting, he hurriedly ran over to take a look, and threw a bunch of unfinished meals on the ground, as well as a few large bowls of drinking, and a carriage and porter full of 100,000 taels of silver, all of which were missing.

The dart master was all panicked and shouted loudly and searched around. There were no customers at this hour, and at this time, Zhu Hui found that the guys in the restaurant were gone, so he went to inquire about the passers-by, and the passers-by all shook their heads, and no one knew what was going on.

When Zhu Hui rushed into the restaurant again, he found that the restaurant was empty, and even Shen Mao and the shopkeeper of the restaurant had run away, so he hurriedly rushed into the back kitchen.

"Guest, you can't go in here." A fat chef stopped Zhu Hui. “

Zhu Hui realized that this was Shen Mao playing immortal jumping, and immediately became furious, and immediately showed his steel knife, put it on the fat chef's neck, and asked, "Let your shopkeeper come out and speak." ”

The fat chef replied tremblingly: "Guest officer, the shopkeeper just gave the wine house to Shen Gongzi and went back to his hometown in Si County. ”

The three dart masters looked around outside, but could not find any clues, just stepped into the restaurant, just heard the chef's words, all of them were black, their heads rang, and they did not faint by supporting each other.

Zhu Hui was very calm and asked, "The Shen Gongzi who took over your restaurant, is it Shen Mao who is eating with us?" ”

"No, no, it is said that this Shen Gongzi used to be a Taoist priest......"

Before the fat chef finished speaking, Zhu Hui knew that it was Jingming as soon as he heard it, it seemed that this was a series of plans set by Jingming and Shen Mao, which made people unguardable, and then asked, "Who are those guys who run the hall?" ”

"Those guys were all brought by Shen Gongzi, and we don't know any of them." The fat chef replied.

So, Zhu Hui kicked open the private rooms downstairs, and when he arrived at the innermost room, he found that more than a dozen porters were all lying on the ground, drunk one by one.

Zhu Hui shouted to the three dart masters to wake up these porters, and he rushed out of the restaurant through the back door alone, trying to find Shen Mao and Jingming and others, only to see people coming and going on the street, how could there be any trace of them......

It turned out that Shen Mao pretended to say a few words to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, entered the restaurant again, and when Zhu Hui and the others went to find the dart car, they all slipped through the back door.

At this time, a porter was finally awakened, and the three dart masters finally figured it out, just when they were eating upstairs, the fake shopkeeper ran out in person, pretending to be kind, and told the porters that there were no guests anyway, and invited them to eat inside.

Someone brought wine and food to the two guards, and the two of them had only eaten half of it, and they found that something was not quite right, and just wanted to go in to find someone, but they felt that their legs were weak and they fell to the ground.

Just when Zhu Hui had just figured out the truth, Shen Mao and the others had already driven the carriage out of the Jubao Gate and came to a pavilion at the foot of the Jubao Mountain, where Jingming and a group of people were waiting.

The hornet's nest has been brought out of Xu Kun's house by Jingming, who is accompanying Jingming at the moment, and when he sees the cart full of silver, he shouts excitedly: "God help me!" ”

As soon as Jingming saw Shen Mao, he asked happily, "Brother, how is it?" Listen to me, I know that this trip can harvest at least 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Shen Mao raised his thumb and praised: "Master Jingming is really like a god, so accurate!" I made up a set of nonsense, as soon as they came up, they saw through it, I thought it was a trip in vain, but I didn't expect that, as the Taoist chief said, Pang Fu asked Zhu Hui to help with the dart and sent 100,000 taels of silver to the Liu family, if only I had heard the Taoist chief's words earlier, if it was the Liu family who sent me, maybe I could ask for more. ”

At this time, Jingming no longer dressed as a Taoist priest, I saw him wearing a R white satin robe, wearing a double-winged scarf, patting Shen Mao's shoulder with high spirits, and said: "Brother, don't call any master and Taoist in the future, my brother's name is Shen Weijing, also surnamed Shen, and we will be brothers in the future!" Come, brother will introduce you to this horse boy. ”

So, Jingming continued: "This is the eldest son of Ma Liangbi, the famous minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the general of Zhengyi, for the sake of our treasure hunting, it is inconvenient for Ma Gongzi to use his real name, and he will be called 'Hornet's Nest' in the future, brother, why don't you hurry up and meet Ma Gongzi?" ”

Shen Mao stepped forward to greet the hornet's nest, but found that people were very reserved and seemed to look down on themselves, so he couldn't help but be a little angry, and said to Jingming: "Brother, it's really not easy for me to run this trip, so let's get me some silver flowers first." ”

Hearing this, the hornet's nest shook his head disdainfully, pouted and said: "Brother Weijing, if we go to sea to hunt for treasure, I am afraid that this 100,000 taels of silver alone is far from enough, and there is no way to get more?" ”

At this time, Jingming patted Shen Mao's shoulder and asked, "Brother, hear me, this money alone is not enough, you have to find a way to help you out." ”

"Still asking me for money?" Shen Mao became anxious when he heard this, and replied angrily: "Don't say that I don't even have a little silver at home, even if I have, can I still go home?" ”

"Do you still want to buy the entire Songjiang Mansion?" Jingming asked with a smile.

Seeing the 100,000 taels of white silver, he didn't say anything about it, but found that Jingming was still playing with his own ideas, Shen Mao was very unhappy: "Just eat, drink, and play, what do I want Songjiang Mansion to do?" ”

At this time, the hornet's nest pursed his mouth, shook his head and said: "Brother Weijing, let's settle an account, buy a big ship, at least 50,000 taels of silver, and buy all kinds of utensils, you also need 8,000 yuan; When I arrived in Hirado, I had to give all kinds of dots to the local samurai, and if I didn't have 30,000 or 50,000 taels of silver, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get down; Besides, the treasure hunt at sea takes effort, and you have to consider being able to transport it away safely, at least dozens of bodyguards, nearly 100 sailors and laborers, and then calculate the expenses of the previous year, even if it is the most economical, it will cost 50,000 or 60,000 taels. It seems that without 200,000 taels of silver, we can't go to sea. ”

Jingming was also worried when he heard it, could it be that he had to rob the house?

Mafengwo looked at the group of people recruited by Jingming, and fixed all his eyes on these carriages, eager to divide the silver immediately, and hurried back to his hometown to buy a house and buy land, knowing that this group of people was not willing to risk their lives to go to sea to hunt for treasure.

Finding that Jingming and Shen Mao were silent, Ma Fengwo smiled and continued: "Brother Weijing, I heard that you rescued Xu Kun from the hands of the Japanese Kou, but you came all the way to Songjiang Mansion, and only let you eat and drink at his house, but he never had any gratitude, and he treated you so slowly, even I can't stand it, this Xu Kun is really hateful!" ”

Why did Xu Kun detain Mafengwo? Jingming was very puzzled, asked him several times, and found that he was hesitant and vague, at this time, he couldn't help but speak: "Ma Gongzi, after you are a famous family in the Ryukyu Kingdom, what is the reason why Xu Kun imprisoned you in his dungeon?" You tell me the truth to my brother, I can save Xu Kun from the hands of the Japanese Kou, and I can send him back again, as long as we find a suitable reason to clean up and clean up his Nai Nai Xu Kun, a bastard! ”

Mafengwo originally thought that Xu Kun brought him back to Songjiang Mansion to let him marry Xu Ajiao, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he got off the boat, he was controlled by someone and locked him in the cellar of the back garden of the Xu family, and he didn't even see Xu Ajiao's face.

When it came to these things, the hornet's nest gritted its teeth with hatred, but it felt ashamed to say it, and he was always reluctant to mention it, and found that Jingming had Xu Kun's idea, and immediately made up a set of lies, saying that Xu Kun cheated his family's money in Ryukyu.

Everyone knows that Xu Kun is the nephew of Xu Jie, a former scholar of Shoufu University, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture is simply the world of the Xu family, how easy is it to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth? So the group took their eyes off the carriages, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

From this detail, the hornet's nest can see that the group of people recruited by Jingming are all the kind of people who are rich and safe, and they have not gone overseas to hunt for treasures at all.

After a moment of silence, Shen Mao asked, "Brother Weijing, you won't forget the grievances between Xu Kun and Tang Jing, right?" ”

Jingming was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "So what?" Could it be that Tang Jing will help us find Xu Kun to settle accounts? ”

"Then won't we use the banner of Tang Jing to settle accounts with Xu Kun?" Shen Maole replied hehehehe.

"How much money can Xu Kun owe Tang Jing? A drop in the bucket, I'm afraid it won't help us. The hornet's nest was puzzled.

Jingming hehe, hey, replied: "Hehe, Xu Kun owes Tang Jing's account, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay it off in his life, this bastard brought a green hat to Tang Jing for six years, and Tang Jing came back, and he didn't let people enter the house, which is good, Xu Kun was kidnapped as a pirate as Tang Jing." ”

Mafengwo didn't know that Xu Kun had such an experience, so he immediately clapped his hands and said impassionedly: "Good idea, let's go to Xu Kun in the name of Tang Jing, at least ask him for 300,000 taels, Xu Kun, this bastard, can take it, go, and go to Songjiang Mansion immediately." ”

The group of people all raised their heads slightly, and focused their eyes on the carriages, and the hornet's nest found that no one responded, shook his head to the front of Jingming, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Weijing, since everyone has worked hard to help, take out some of the silver in front of you and give it to the big guy, do you have no opinion?" ”

Jingming has gone through a lot of tempering, and his heart is higher than the sky, but if he wants to do things, he must use people, and he replied helplessly: "Divide it." ”

"Divided? How much can I get? Shen Mao suddenly came to his senses.

It can be seen from Shen Mao's expression that once he is given ten thousand taels of silver, this kid will stay on the shore of Qin Huai, find a gentle dreamland to get drunk and dream of death, and may not want to do anything.

Mafengwo understands that Jingming is a person who comes from the wind and waves, and has an inexplicable ** about wealth, and those who can really achieve great things in the future are only Jingming in the group of people in front of him.

Thinking of this, the hornet replied with a slight smile: "Now we have a total of only about 20 people, in my opinion, first go to Songjiang Mansion to find a place to settle down, and recruit more new people, when the time comes, no matter how many are recruited, and no matter how much is first and last, the merit is large, in the future, in addition to me and Brother Weijing, we will pay everyone every ten days, twenty taels per person, what do you think?" ”

When the gang heard this, they received twenty taels of silver every ten days, and they immediately rejoiced and clapped their hands......

Shen Mao was very dissatisfied when he heard this, pulled Jingming and the hornet's nest aside, and asked angrily: "Brother, I have made such a great effort and made such a contribution, and I also received twenty taels of silver with them?" ”

Jingming understood the intention of the hornet's nest, and also knew Shen Mao's mentality very well, and replied with a smile: "In the future, the silver I got from Xu Kun's house will be divided with you, as for overseas treasure hunting, you can go if you want to, and we won't be reluctant if you don't go, how about it?" ”

Ma Fengwo also nodded, and then said: "Shen Gongzi, the Shen family and the Xu family have business dealings, you should be no stranger to the Xu family, as long as you can come up with a good idea, I agree with Brother Weijing's opinion, the silver from the Xu family in the future, you three, we seven, as for overseas adventures, you can also not go, satisfied?" ”

Shen Mao slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Okay! That's it. However, every ten days, I have to be paid. ”

At this moment, Jing Ming could see that the group of people he had recruited could not be used at all, and if he wanted to hunt for treasures overseas, he had to recruit those pirates under Lin Feng, but it was not a big problem to blackmail Xu Kun and use these boys, so he came to everyone and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone wants to get rich, and even if all this bit of silver is divided, it will not be enough for our master to waste a few days; You all heard it clearly just now, Xu Kun's bastard owes Tang Jing a debt, and it is not too much to ask for any amount of silver, now, let's go to Songjiang Mansion, the Xu family has money, do you dare to go? ”

"Let's go, let's settle accounts with his mother's Xu Kun." Someone shouted first, and immediately the responders gathered, and under the leadership of Jingming and the hornet's nest, they immediately rushed to Songjiang Mansion......
