"Lao Gao, do you remember what you said at the beginning?" After returning home, Yu Guozhen asked Aunt Gao to cook noodles, but he called the Gao family father and son to the front.

"W-What?"

Gao Bu was a little stunned, but Yu Guozhen laughed: "I asked you if you were from Ansai, Shaanxi. ”

Lao Gao trembled suddenly, looked at Yu Guozhen and said, "Little official...... Petty Officials ......"

"Can I trust you?" Yu Guozhen asked again.

"The villain was implicated by the thief, and fled here for thousands of miles, if it wasn't for the petty officials to take care of them, the family's surname would have been gone long ago, the petty officials have something to do, just command, although the villain is only a horse seller, but he is not ungrateful!"

Hearing Yu Guozhen's question, Lao Gao was obviously relieved, and the next words were indeed sincere.

He is a native of Ansai, Shaanxi, and the thief Gao Yingxiang who troubled Shaanxi and Jin at this time is a close branch of the same clan, and he was implicated and had to flee to Wuwei, when Yu Guozhen exposed the matter, he was still extremely frightened, but now it is not. He knew that this little official was ambitious, and the villagers called him stupid, but he didn't know what Yu Guozhen was doing.

"Today, I took out the pearls, and I was only given 1,000 taels of silver for a bag of pearls, and the fourth room used a forged IOU to cut off 500 taels of silver." Yu Guozhen sighed: "They are deceiving me...... When you and Gao Yingxiang and other horse sellers encountered such a horse thief who bullied you, what would you do? ”

"If you go back to the petty officials, you will naturally fight if you can fight, and if you can't fight, you will escape."

"And what do you think I'm going to do now?"

"What the petty officials say, the villain's net worth, surname, and life are all petty officials!" Gao Bu replied categorically.

He really admired his little master, not only to treat them with kindness and righteousness, but also to have means, like the bag of pearls, when he was a horse dealer, he was also knowledgeable, but he had never heard of anyone who could "plant" pearls in the river by himself, with this skill, follow this little master without worrying about wealth and wealth!

As for breaking away from Yu Guozhen's self-reliance, Mo said that Yu Guozhen had a life-saving grace for them at the beginning, and the deed of sale of their family was in Yu Guozhen's hands, and with their identity as foreigners, it was difficult to move an inch in this Jianghuai area.

"That being the case, you take the big pillar and the second pillar to prepare, tonight...... So we went to the town and fetched back the silver that had been deposited in the four rooms. Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen smiled: "If the fourth room is not very willing, then what should it be?" ”

Sifang was not only unwilling, but also disgruntled.

Yu Yigu vented all his anger on his concubine Aunt Li, twisting and tearing while fiddling wildly, and when he was extremely interested, he roared and grabbed hard, as if he was holding the plate full of pearls.

Aunt Li kept screaming, she couldn't stand it at this time, she begged for mercy repeatedly, Yu Yigu gasped, softened from her body, turned over and looked up at the roof.

"The lord is talking today...... How so? Aunt Li was paralyzed, and asked in a muttered voice: "I don't know how to pity the concubine at all......"

"Pearls, a plate of pearls...... Damn, that plate of pearls is cheaper for the long room and the second room! "Yu Yigu mentioned this matter, and he didn't fight in one place.

"Didn't the master let the concubine brother go to find the nest bandits?"

"Shhh Yu Yigu turned over and covered Aunt Li's mouth.

Aunt Li blinked a pair of peach blossom eyes and laughed: "Master is also careful, the private words by our bedside are so late, who can hear them, if they hear our private words, then we will do the courtesy of Zhou Gong, wouldn't it have been heard." ”

"You mother-in-law, you have long hair and short knowledge, you know something!"

Yu Yigu let out a low roar, then was stunned for a while, and sighed: "That little animal was killed, and the pearl also fell into the hands of the second room of the big house, and we didn't get anything......

"Isn't there still five hundred taels of silver, besides, the little animal is dead, and the lord can always share the profit of the farm house in his name...... The really pitiful thing is Shi'er, the master worked hard to manage it, and then it all returned to his son-in-law, but Shi'er didn't have anything......"

"Okay, okay, okay, don't shout here." As soon as he heard her mention this, Yu Yigu snorted coldly, he sat up, and then heard the dog barking twice in the yard, and his heart moved: "Could it be that there is a thief?" ”

Then he heard the sound of dogs barking everywhere, Yu Yigu got out of bed and took a stick, and Aunt Li also sat up: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

"Shh Yu Yigu motioned for her to be silenced.

Then I heard the husband's hoarse shout: "Go to the water, go to the water......

Yu Yigu was relieved when he heard this shout, he pushed open the door, stood in the courtyard and looked in the direction where the shout came from, which was the northeast corner of the town, far away from him, and he snorted: "Lose interest." ”

"Master, master, the Song family's treasury in the northeast of the town is on fire, do you want to save it?" Yu Gou'er outside asked.

"Nonsense, go to sleep, if you are injured while fighting the fire, I will give you money for medicine!" Yu Yigu snorted, turned around and entered the door again.

The Song family had some friendships with the Yu family, and there was a marriage in the early years, but these friendships were not enough for Yu Yigu to work for the Song family.

"Boom."

Yu Yigu didn't hear this soft sound, because there was a noise outside, the rabid dogs of dogs, the shouts of people, and the sound of gongs when walking the water became one. When he returned to the house, he was still thinking about the plate of pearls, and when he took it back to the door, he could hear Aunt Li on the bed moaning soundly, and he snorted: "You slut, you haven't fed you yet?" ”

The humming on the bed disappeared, and Yu Yigu walked in, put down the stick and got into the tent, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, a hand stuck in his throat.

Before Yu Yigu could react, a bull's ear sharp knife had already been stabbed on his left eye, and then he heard a slurred voice say: "If you dare to make a sound, I will stab you to death!" ”

At this time, no matter how stupid Yu Yigu was, he knew that his family was a thief, his legs trembled, and his teeth were knocked: "Hero...... Spare your life, don't dare, don't dare to speak out......"

In fact, there was a lot of noise outside, and he just called twice, but he was afraid that no one could hear it except the servants in the front yard.

"Uncle wants money, not life." The muffled voice was a little tongue-curling, and it seemed to have an accent from the Beizhili area: "Where is the silver money hidden?" ”

As he was talking, the window was suddenly pushed open, and then another black shadow crawled in, Yu Yigu shivered and glanced at the bandit on the bed, and a hint of ridicule flashed in the bandit's fierce eyes: "It's the uncle's accomplice, don't think it's here to save you - tell me quickly, where is the silver money hidden." ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't ......."

Before Yu Yi could say the ancient words, he felt a cold on the side of his face, and then a pain came from the side of his face, and then the bandit picked up something from his head and threw it on his face: "This ear is for you, the next sentence doesn't tell me where the money is hidden, I will stuff the ear into your mouth!" ”

Yu Yigu rolled his eyes and almost fainted, but as if he knew what was going to happen, the bandit waved his hand violently, and a slap from the horn was drawn, and Yu Yigu suddenly woke up again.

"In ...... At...... Under the cabinet...... Yes...... There was ......"

Yu Yigu didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so he could only confess honestly, and the person who climbed in immediately came over, pushed the cabinet open, and with a small candle, found the dark layer pressed by the floor tiles, and took out two jars from it.

One jar contained gold and silver, and the other contained the title deeds and ledgers of the house. Seeing that the thief poured all the gold and silver in the jar into a pocket, Yu Yigu's heart was like a knife, thinking that after he was killed by this thief, the accumulated belongings might be lost, he was anxious and angry, and begged: "Good man, keep some with me, leave some with me, my family has to eat......

"If you say more, I'll kill you." The man who pointed the knife at him.

"Good man...... Leave some with me, I will tell you where there are more gold, silver and jewelry, the big house, our Yu family big house has pearls worth more than a thousand taels, and thousands of taels of silver, there are not many people in the big house, and now there is a mess outside, just go and get it...... I just ask the good man to leave me some ......"

The masked bandit laughed, and said vaguely: "Uncle made your vote and flew away, you want to deceive the uncle, and your conscience is very bad!" ”

"By the way, there are three rooms, and my nephew has more pearls in the house of my three-room nephew, and there is also silver, and he lives outside the town, and only one servant lives in one...... Even if the good man kills them all, no one will know, I am willing to lead the way for the good man! ”

As soon as these words came out, the masked bandit was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said vaguely: "Is this the case? That's your third-room nephew, why would you take me to his house? ”

"Really, what the villain said is true, he has many pearls, his dead ghost Lao Tzu left, the good man just doesn't go, the villain also wants to find a chance to start, the villain has sent the housekeeper to find the white king of Chaohu, originally wanted to start with some words, since the good man is here...... The villain is willing to lead the way for the good man, and when he goes, he will know that what the villain said is true! ”

At this time, Yu Yigu couldn't think of so much at all, and in order to gain trust, he said everything. He felt that he had been robbed, so he wished that everyone had been robbed, especially Sanfang, Yu Yigu even felt that if Sanfang hadn't given him five hundred taels of silver during the day today, he might not have been robbed.

"It turned out to be a leading party." The masked bandit burst out laughing.

Yu Yigu had heard his brother Yu Yixuan mention the Donglin Party, but as for what the Belt and Road Party was, he didn't know. But hearing the contempt in the thief's laughter, he knew something was wrong, and was about to say something more, when suddenly he saw the thief reach out and take off the hood from his head.

"You...... You...... It's you! ”

Yu Yigu's eyes widened and he said tremblingly, Yu Guozhen nodded: "It's me, my good uncle......

Yu Yigu knew something was wrong at this time, and was about to scream, but Yu Guozhen's hand had already waved, and with a bang, his throat bone was shattered, and all the words that reached his mouth were blocked back, turning into a mouthful of blood and spitting out.
