Chapter Twenty-Seven: Helpless
On that day, Li Huaiyu ordered Liu Fu to go to Yaxian Pavilion to send a rejection poem When passing by the compound, a black-clothed masked man floated off the roof, picked up Liu Fu easily, and flew towards the back mountain. came and went like this, as fast as lightning, Liu Fu didn't have time to ask for help, and he didn't know who was grabbing him, he was so frightened that his soul flew for nine nights, and his whole body trembled. When he arrived at the back mountain, the man put down Liu Fu and took off the black cloth covering his face. Liu Fuding saw that this person was Steward Zhang, and he asked in surprise: "Isn't this Steward Zhang?" What are you doing here? ”
Zhao Jinhu said: "Don't hide it, Zhao Jinhu in Xia Naijiang is not Zhang Neng!" ”
Liu Fu asked in surprise: "What?" Could it be that you are the well-known Zhao Jinhu? ”
"Even if you kid is knowledgeable, it's someone Zhao!"
"You...... What do you want to do by pretending to change your name and surname and sneaking into Zhang's mansion? ”
Zhao Jinhu laughed and said, "Haha...... Good question! It doesn't hurt to sue you. I heard that Zhang Zhong, the richest man in Xuzhou, has a great career, countless mules and horses, and countless fertile fields, and is rich enough to rival the country, as long as I get this family property, I can recruit troops and buy horses, and proclaim myself king, and then I can enjoy the glory and wealth and live a fairy-like life. Over the years, I have been thinking about it and trying my best, but unfortunately the time has not been ripe. In order to get the Zhang family's property faster, Zhao did not hesitate to sacrifice his Lanying sister-in-law. Hmph, finally the emperor lives up to his painstaking efforts, and now the master only needs to design to kill Zhang Meiying, and this family property will change hands! ”
Liu Fu was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What do you have to do with me if you want to seize the property of the Zhang family?" Why did you capture me in the back mountain? ”
Zhao Jinhu said murderously: "Liu Fu, as long as you help me kill Li Huaiyu, except for Zhang Meiying, get all the property of the Zhang family, I will leave you this little life, and share a part of your gold and silver, when the time comes, you can marry a wife and have children, and enjoy the rest of your life, what do you think?" ”
Liu Fuxin said: "The master treats me like a mountain, how can I do such an unrighteous thing as killing the young master and the young lady?" He pointed at Zhao Jinhu and shouted: "Thief, the old man treats you so well, but you will take revenge and deliberately seek to rob his family property, you are really unconscionable, and pigs and dogs are not as good." ”
"You little brute, Zhao was kind enough to spare you a dog's life, but you don't know what to do!" Zhao Jinhu said, took out a short knife from his waist, put it on Liu Fu's neck, and asked fiercely: "Tell me quickly, what did Li Huaiyu ask you to go downstairs for?" ”
Liu Fu said: "Dog thief, don't you want to ask a word from your Liu family's grandfather's mouth." ”
Zhao Jinhu said coldly: "Open the skylight and say bright words, if you say it today, you will die, and if you don't say it, you will die!" ”
Liu Fu closed his eyes and said, "You heinous thief, you will kill if you want to, why bother to say more?" Your grandfather only wants to die! ”
After Zhao Jinhu heard this, he was furious, and stabbed Liu Fu in the back with a knife, straight to the heart. Poor Liu Fu died tragically on the ground and went to that world.
Precisely:
The money-grubbing thief is in good conscience,
Slaughtering is as bad as grass mustard.
Loyal and brave servants soar to the sky,
Drinking and hating Jiuquan shows heroism.
Zhao Jinhu saw that Liu Fu was killed, searched out Li Huaiyu's rejection poem from him, hid the body in the ditch, and then turned into smoke and came to Liu Lanying's room, told the story of killing Liu Fu, and took out Li Huaiyu's rejection poem from his arms, and said: "Lady, come and see, what does this poem mean?" ”
Liu Lanying looked at it and said, "Presumably, Miss has sent a love poem to Li Gongzi, and this poem was sent back to Miss by Li Gongzi." It seems that this Li Huaiyu is really a righteous gentleman! She frowned again and said, "Hmph, this is really God help me!" ”
Zhao Jinhu asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Liu Shi smiled and said: "I can imitate Li Gongzi's glyph and modify this poem, which will make your plan more smooth." ”
In the evening of this day, Liu wrote a poem, and Zhao Jinhu inserted the poem paper into the crack of the door of Yaxian Pavilion, turned around and flew away.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhong rushed back to the house, asked the housekeeper about the affairs of the house, and came to the room of the second wife, Liu Lanying.
Liu Shi first said sweet words to the staff for a long time, and said: "Master, since you left the mansion, many major events have happened in the family, and the slave family has the heart to tell you the truth, but they dare not say more. ”
Zhang Zhong said angrily: "You woman is so boring, even if you say something, why dare or not?" ”
"That's what you told me to say, I have to say. Our daughter is now in her twenties, and it's time to find an in-law. Liu's eyes rolled and said tentatively: "I think that Li Huaiyu is both talented and beautiful, and he is very appreciated by the master, why not let him be our family's fast son-in-law and achieve a good marriage?" ”
Zhang Zhong said angrily: "Bastard, then Li Huaiyu is now my son, he is commensurate with my daughter and brother, let the two of them get married, where do you put my old face?" Doesn't that make others laugh? ”
Liu said: "But the two of them have now done something that is immoral and insulting to the court, if they don't get married as soon as possible, and when they have children, how can you block the crowd?" ”
Zhang Zhonghuo was so tall that he grabbed Liu and said, "You stinky mother-in-law, you dare to slander my children like this." If you can't tell you black and white, Zhang will never spare you! ”
Liu Shi looked sad and said aggrievedly: "The old man is angry, listen to the slave family." Early yesterday morning, when I went to the courtyard to take care of things, who knew that Li Huaiyu was disheveled and ran down from Yaxian Pavilion with a panicked expression. Master, the slave family is confused, in your opinion, will there be any good thing for this man and woman to be in the same room at night? If you don't believe it, you can ask Steward Zhang, if I have half a lie, even if you cut off my head, I will never complain. ”
Zhang Zhong turned around and glanced at Steward Zhang.
Zhao Jinhu hugged his fists and said: "The appearance of the staff is good." Everything that the second wife said was true, and there was no lie. The young lady and the young master were very close: they went to the library to read together and ate together; Miss often goes to Linxiang Pavilion, and the young master often goes to Miss's boudoir, and the two will only be separated after three watches at night, and they are inseparable. He rolled his eyes and continued: "The two of them are so close, there must be correspondence, if you don't believe it, you can go to Linxiang Pavilion to find out." ”
Zhang Zhong thought to himself: "What this Zhang can say is also reasonable, I'll take a look first, if I can't find any evidence, see what else do the two of them have to say?" Then he said, "You two are talking nonsense, it is not enough to believe it, I will go to Linxiang Pavilion to see my son, and then I will settle accounts with you." He turned around and hurried to the Linxiang Pavilion. Everyone knows what happened next.
After listening to the two thieves narrate the cause and effect, Zhang Zhong repented, put down his daughter, and wept: "It's the old man who deserves to die, and he listened to the slander of your adulterer and adulteress, and killed Li Xianggong and my daughter." ”
Zhao Jinhu took out a contract, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Old man, so far, you still don't regret it!" But if thou wilt draw a pledge on this deed, and make a handprint, and transfer all thy possessions, and all thy gold, and silver and gold, to my door, I will spare thee a life and let thee go out of the house. ”
Zhang Zhong said: "Dog thief, you killed my daughter, don't want to get half of my Zhang family's property again." ”
Liu said: "Brother Jin Hu, Hugh talks a lot to this old dog, and solves him with one knife!" ”
"Not busy!" Zhao Jinhu turned to Zhang Yuanwai and said fiercely: "Zhang Zhong, I advise you to bet this on the painting as soon as possible, otherwise Zhao Mou will make a move, and you will not be left with chickens and dogs in this Zhang Mansion, and there will be no grass." ”
Zhang Zhong thought about it, this thief did everything for his property, and if he annoyed him, he would definitely kill many family maids. In order to take care of the overall situation, he impatiently picked up the pen and prepared to draw with trembling hands.
"Don't draw outside the staff!" Xi Yue wore a sleeved arrow robe, held Zhang Meiying's 100-pound sword, and ran into the living room.
Zhao Jinhu turned around and saw that it was Zhang Meiying's personal maid Raiding the Moon, and he smiled: "Who am I, it turns out to be the girl Raiding the Moon!" ”
Raid Yue shouted: "Dog thief, you are so rampant, eat me with a knife!" As he spoke, he waved his knife and ran to Zhao Jinhu's door.
"You are also worthy of doing it with your master?" Zhao Jinhu kicked out a chair.
With a swing of the sword, the chair "clicked" and flew off both sides, and she continued to rush forward, and the blade hit Zhao Jinhu's chest. Zhao Jinhu suddenly pulled out a treasure knife and greeted the general. His treasure knife is very mysterious, and no one knows what part of the blade he just pulled out of. Raiding the moon held a heavy broadsword in his hand, effortlessly. The two sides collided with big swords and treasures, and sparks flew in all directions. The two jumped up and down for twenty rounds, and the moon suddenly felt that his arms were very sore, and he retreated. Zhao Jinhu took advantage of the situation to press tightly, and every move and style were extremely vicious. Seeing that the life of the moon was in danger, Zhang Zhong beat his chest anxiously, helpless.
