Cao Mengxuan followed Fang Ruoxu's gaze, and saw that the man was dressed in a soap coat, wearing a felt hat, and a sign stuck in the back of his head, but he was a charger. The five short figures, with a mustache and a lewd appearance, walked out of the gate, and the sergeants on both sides hurriedly bowed and saluted, but the nostrils were facing the sky and ignored him.

"Does the owner of the village recognize this person?" Cao Mengxuan asked.

"Where do I know him!" Fang Ruoxu said: "However, the owner of this village has been taught the art of face-to-face by a different person, and he is inseparable from people!" This person is obscene and flamboyant, and he must be a money-hungry and womanizer! Let's see what he does, and act when the opportunity comes! ”

The so-called alien teaching the art of face-to-face is just nonsense. However, although Fang Ruoxu was born in a sour show, he was in Chang'an City Yonghe Fang, which was originally a mixed place, among which there were many strange people in the rivers and lakes.

Naabshi went out of the gate of the marshal and headed east. The street was bustling with people, Fang Ruoxu and Cao Mengxuan mixed in the crowd, followed behind Na Abshi, walked out of a street alley, and watched Na Abshiro enter a tea shop.

The tea shop is a two-story building, the two of them saw the priest go upstairs from a distance, so they walked to the counter, Fang Ruoxu arched his hand to the shopkeeper, and put down the five coins of silver: "The shopkeeper is hard." ”

The shopkeeper was well-behaved, and when he saw that the room was empty and had no silver, he knew that he had something to ask for, so he hurriedly said: "The small shop is a small profit, and it can't be on the scene, but I am afraid that I will miss the guest officer's business, if the guest officer drinks tea and eats, the small shop has all the best wine and food, and the bill is paid according to the price." It's just that I don't dare to accept this silver! ”

Now in this Shaanxi county city, Feng Ziqiao is well governed, Xun Lei patrols all day long, and the traitors disappear, and the streets are even more regular than before An Lushan's rebellion. The shopkeeper was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly refused.

Fang Ruo smiled and said, "The shopkeeper misunderstood. This time, it is not a big deal, just a small matter, and the shopkeeper only needs to say a word! ”

"Please also sir."

"A certain surname Fang is a native of Dali Village outside the city of Shaanxi County. Second in the family. There's also a brother on it. A few days ago, my brother went to the Shuai Mansion on a mission, and has not returned, my father misses it and orders Fang to come to visit, but the Shuai Mansion is very strict, and the Fang is a grass people, and he can't enter the door, just now I saw a Shuai Fu Charge Si into your store, please ask the shopkeeper to introduce one or two, if the Abbot can be accommodating, Fang Mou has to see his brother, grateful! ”

Feng Ziqiao runs Shaanxi County, and many parties send errands, and there are often strong men in the surrounding villages to work in the government. Therefore, it is not surprising that the shopkeeper listened to Fang Ruoxu's words. The shopkeeper is generous and local, and besides, it is just an introduction, and it is not expected to be a big deal. He accepted the silver and accompanied him with a smiling face: "Mr. Fang is polite, and a loving father is looking forward to his son, which is also human nature!" They are all villagers, and the small ones should do their best. The priest just now is also a frequent customer of the shop, his surname is Qu, his name is big, and he can speak in front of Feng Sima. These days, there are often guest officials in the small shop to ask Qu to do things, but Qu Zhu is also willing to help people, but Mr. Fang has to be heavier! ”

Fang Ruoxu nodded secretly, listening to the tone of the shopkeeper, Qu Dayan is really a greedy person, as long as he gives money, he can do things, it seems that this tea shop is the place where Qu Dayan accepts bribes. Fang Ruoxu put his mind at ease: "How much do you have to shoot to be appropriate?" ”

The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers: "If you don't talk about it, you have to count this number!" ”

"Fifty taels of silver?"

"Where do you want so much! It's almost five taels! ”

"Please lead the way!" Fang Ruoxu smiled secretly, that Qu Dayan was also a person who had never seen money.

The shopkeeper didn't say much, and took Fang Ruoxu upstairs, but let Cao Mengxuan watch the wind downstairs.

The two of them went upstairs, and the shopkeeper introduced Fang Ruoxu into a private room, but saw that Qu Dayan was sitting by the window inside, with a pot of wine on the table, two plates of snacks and food, drinking by himself, and there was no one else in the private room, Fang Ruoxu was secretly happy in his heart.

But I heard the shopkeeper accompany him and said carefully: "Qu Abbot, this Mr. Fang is a small distant cousin, I heard that Qu Abbot is Gaoyi, I came to visit, and I hope Qu Abbot will appreciate his face!" Mr. Fang's family is solid, and he has always been famous for his righteousness and wealth! ”

The shopkeeper accepted money, but he was also loyal, and took the initiative to get into a cousin relationship with Fang Ruoxu.

The song was drinking on the head, and was disturbed, and I was very impatient in my heart, but I listened to the shopkeeper's words that the house was empty and the family was solid, "fighting righteousness and squandering money"! immediately changed to a smiling face: "Since it's the shopkeeper's cousin, you might as well have a drink together!" ”

Fang Ruoxu was not polite, sat opposite Qu Dayan, took out a tael of silver, and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Qu Zhusi's wine money is counted on Fang Mou's head!" ”

That pot of wine and two dishes is only one or twenty big money, and Fang Ruoxu's hand is one or two silver, that Qu Dayan saw it in his eyes, and knew that a rich man was coming, and his face became more and more brilliant.

The shopkeeper took the money, accompanied by a smiling face, and withdrew.

Before Fang Ruoxu could speak, Qu Dayan said: "Mr. Fang has something difficult, but it's okay!" ”

Fang Ruo smiled secretly in his heart, that Qu Dayan was really a master who saw money, and made a sad face at the moment: "The family is unfortunate, say it, shame people!" As he spoke, he put the baggage on the table, the burden was heavy, and the smashing sound was muffled, and the discerning person saw that it was either gold or silver.

Qu Dayan looked at the burden, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "Qu and Mr. Fang hit it off at first sight, let's talk about it, maybe Qu can share a thing or two for Mr. Fang!" ”

"Qu Zhu Si asked, Fang didn't dare to hide it!" Fang Ruoxu sighed: "Fang's family lives in Dali Village, outside the city of Shaanxi County, and there are 100 acres of thin fields at home, raising twenty or thirty villagers. Fang ploughed the acres and supported his father, but he also had no worries about food and clothing. It's just that I'm ashamed to say that there is still a brother in the family, but he is not enough to do his duty, he is idle all day long, and he hangs out with some idlers, in peacetime, but it is just a gambling prostitute, although the cost is quite large, the family can still afford it. A few days ago, Dayan and Datang fought in Shaanxi County, and the soldiers were in chaos, and Fang Mouzhuang was also very light, and the expenses gradually ran out. It is said that in extraordinary times, life is tighter, and it should be. I never thought that my brother couldn't keep the poverty, and he actually started stealing chickens and dogs and blocking the road with those idlers, which is really insulting to the ancestors! Yesterday, my brother was coerced by those idlers to cut the path at the foot of Funiu Mountain, which was originally to collect some money to buy roads, and did not dare to hurt people's lives. But he was held by my Dayan official army and imprisoned in the prison of the Shuai Mansion! My brother's behavior was absurd, and he deserved it. It's just that my father is over eighty years old, and now he is seriously ill and bedridden. Fang didn't dare to excuse his brother, he just wanted to inquire about his brother's news, so that he could go back and report to his father, and let his father die! ”

Fang Ruoxu said, pushing the burden in front of Qu Dayan: "There are fifty taels of silver in it, it is not a tribute, and I hope that Qu Zhisi will accept it!" ”

Although Naqu Dayan is greedy for money, but because he is only a charge, his status is low, and he only receives some scattered silver on weekdays, where has he seen fifty taels of silver, and he suddenly smiled: "Mr. Fang is polite!" Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is not good in Mr.'s family, which makes Zun worried, and Qu also feels the same way. Qu is also soft-hearted, even if Mr. Fang doesn't say anything, Qu has to protect one or two. I don't know what Mr. Fang's brother looks like? ”

"Everyone is in shape, their faces are slightly dark, and they are quite strong, and they were arrested by the Dayan officers and soldiers yesterday morning."

Qu Dayan frowned: "Brother Fang, it should be this person!" It's just that this person claims to be surnamed Song, not Fang. ”

Fang Ruo scolded secretly in his heart, that Song Wuyang was a soft bone, and as soon as he entered, he recruited him, so he had to accompany him and said carefully: "Although my brother is stubborn, he also has a good conscience, and he knows that he is insulting to his ancestors, so he does things outside, and he never dares to report his real name, but he just claims to be surnamed Song!" ”

"It's human nature!" Qu Dayan nodded: "It's just that what Brother Ling has done is a little troublesome!" ”

"What's the trouble?" Fang Ruoxu became nervous.

Recently, General Cui Qianyou ordered Feng Sima to sit in Shaanxi County to maintain local security. Feng Sima is kind-hearted, he often said that these days Yan and Tang have fought against each other, the people are scattered, their livelihood is difficult, and they have to take risks as a last resort, but in fact, they are all forced by life, so Feng Sima took the ordinary thief and thief, and with a little punishment, he let it go! Qu Dayan sighed: "But Brother Ling's offense is not a thief and thief, he intends to kidnap General Cui Qianyou, this is a big deal!" ”

Fang Ruoxu was startled, and what Song Wuyang ran into turned out to be Cui Qianyou himself!

After Cui Qianyou led the army to capture Chang'an, he sent Feng Ziqiao to sit in Shaanxi County, while he stayed in Chang'an City, taking advantage of the chaos in Chang'an City, looting money, grain, grass and weapons, and sending people to quietly transport them to Shaanxi County to hoard them for long-term planning. These days, there are often grain and grass baggage teams from Chang'an to Shaanxi County. To be on the safe side, a large team of men and horses was sent to escort each time. Because of this, Fang Ruoxu and the others were on Funiu Mountain, and they didn't dare to rob it when they saw the baggage convoy swaggering past the mountain.

And this time, Cui Qianyou wanted to go back to Shaanxi County to discuss with Feng Ziqiao because of confidential matters, so he personally escorted the grain, grass and ordnance back to Shaanxi County. That Cui Qianyou was originally a fierce general, and he didn't pay attention to the thieves on the road at all, so this time, he only brought dozens of personal soldiers, and did not bring a large number of people. That Song Wuyang was clumsy, seeing that there were few people on the other side, he thought that he had picked up a bargain, and rushed down the mountain with his head and brain, but as a result, he collided with Cui Qianyou, and the black-faced general was Cui Qianyou, and Song Wuyang was captured alive in only one round.

Fang Ruoxu heard that Song Wu Yang had hit Cui Qianyou's muzzle, and he was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound.
