Zuoku had just taken the three-legged bird home and found a beautiful cage to change into, adding water and some food. At night, Zuo Ku didn't go to the concubine's room, so he stayed in the study to tease the bird, trying to make the three-legged bird talk, but the three-legged bird didn't bird Zuo Ku at all, Zuo Ku was tired enough to fall asleep in the study.

In the middle of the night, Zuoku was awakened by the fire, the granary of the family was on fire, and the housekeeper commanded his subordinates to extinguish the fire. Zuo Ku was about to reprimand his subordinates carelessly, the three-legged bird suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a fireball, there were some precious papers and ancient silk books in the study, this fireball seemed not to be big, but it burst into flames when it met the bookshelf, and even the sword hanging above Zuo Ku also burned. Zuo Ku crawled out of the burning study, and watched the three-legged bird fly out of the fire, and after a while, the concubine's room caught fire, and the concubine ran out in disheveled clothes, and followed a shirtless man.

Zuoku's family tossed all night, and when they were about to go to court, they finally put out the fire. When I arrived at the court, many people greeted him, Zuo Ku sighed, and when he came back, he was going to invade the pig cage with the concubine first, but he actually stole the man behind his back, but he didn't expect Mrs. to say that when the kitchen was cooking just now, it caught fire again.

When Zuo Ku heard this, his head was big. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Everyone has weapons, and when they see that three-legged bird, they will kill me." ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper of a treasure shop asked to see him, saying that he knew about the three-legged bird. Hearing that this three-legged bird is from hell, and if it is killed, the adult three-legged bird will come to take revenge, Zuoku is frightened.

The shopkeeper said that there was a person who could take this three-legged bird, and Zuoku hurriedly asked who this person was? The shopkeeper probably said it, Zuo Ku was stupid when he heard it, this person is obviously Ma Chao, Ma Chao knows and doesn't say it, this is a heart.

The servants came in and reported that Ma Chao had come and was carrying silver.

"Master Ma, are you doing this?"

Ma Chao quickly knelt down when he heard this, kneeling down was originally a sign of admittance, I don't know why he saw Ma Chao kneeling, Zuo Ku trembled in his heart, thinking about the first time he saw Ma Chao, Ma Chao also had this kind of flattering attitude, but he didn't benefit at all, this guy was yin in his bone marrow.

"My lord, the villain knows that you don't know the habits of the three-legged bird, and you lost some yesterday, so you specially prepared 20,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of the adult."

Hearing Ma Chao say this, while carefully looking at the smile hidden in the corner of Ma Chao's eyes, Zuo Ku was holding back the fire in his heart, but the dumb man couldn't say that he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis, and this bird was not given to him by Ma Chao, but by himself.

"This divine bird, Master Ma will take it back."

Ma Chao laughed in his heart when he heard this, but said: "Lord Zuo, this divine bird has been returned to the adult, I can't ask for it casually, otherwise it may bring bad luck to the adult, and the loss of money is small, if you lose all the officials, it will not be worth it." ”

When Zuo Ku heard this, he panicked and hurriedly asked Ma Chao: "What should I do?" Ma Chao shook his head and said nothing. At this time, the shopkeeper of the treasure beast store was still there, Zuoku hurriedly asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said with a crying face: "The villain used the trick of breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters." ”

When Zuo Ku heard this, his heart was dripping with blood, looking at the silver that Ma Chao had brought over, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, this was the first time someone gave him silver, and he didn't dare to ask for it. Not only can't I ask for it, but I also have to give some to Ma Chao.

"Take back this silver, Master Ma, I'm giving you 20,000 taels, you take the divine bird back."

Ma Chao stood up with a smile when he heard this, and said easily: "That's not good, I have to pay 20,000 taels of silver for a gift from a fifth-grade official, you are a second-grade official, and at this price, it can't be said." ”

"Ma Chao, you dare to blackmail me!"

Zuoku's eyebrows were raised, and the monkey's face was as red as an ass.

Ma Chao laughed and said, "My lord said so, you can keep the divine bird!" ”

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he turned around and left, Zuo Ku hurriedly pulled and said, "One hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels." ”

"The Shang Shujia doesn't have that much money!"

"Then pay in installments!" (To be continued.) )
