Zhujiawazi is in the outer city of Bianjing, which is a prosperous place, with a brothel village and crowds of people.

Zhang Zeduan stood on the second floor of the main store of a restaurant, leaning on the railing and looking down, looking at the prosperity around him, he couldn't help but dance.

"You can go into the painting, you can go into the painting!"

Just when he was full of interest, his eyes swept over the group of people who were gradually approaching, and then he was stunned, and the surprise was combined.

"Isn't this the little brother of that day, he was kidnapped that day, but fortunately, he was safe and sound!"

met by chance on the street that day, and what Zhou Quan said was exactly what he wanted, so he regarded Zhou Quan as his bosom friend. At this time, seeing that Zhou Quan was safe and sound, he was overjoyed, and went downstairs directly to greet Zhou Quan.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw two people who looked like playful idlers, smiling and pointing at Zhou Quan.

"Could it be another villain?" Zhang Zeduan was shocked.

In this picturesque city, there is always something disgusting. Zhang Zeduan has been thinking about whether to paint these disgusting people and things into his paintings recently.

If it goes well, his painting will be dedicated to the Son of Heaven, will the Son of Heaven be angry and angry when he sees these situations, or will he feel something?

Then he saw a figure dressed as a small official beside the two splashes, who seemed to have confessed what the two splashes had said.

These two idlers are a pair of brothers, named Xiong Da Xiong Er, who are famous scoundrels and idlers in Zhu's Wazi, who are abducted and deceived in this pass, and exchange the money in their pockets for wine and rice, or go to the half-hidden prostitutes to make a living.

Although they are notorious, because the two of them have backers behind them, whether it is the patrol soldiers on the street or the servants of the Kaifeng Mansion, they are not embarrassed.

"Jia Daguan, look, what a coincidence, didn't the Zhou Fu family come here?" Xiong Da said.

"Sure enough, it's this little animal, he's cunning, this little animal is his only flaw, you keep an eye on him, if there's anything, report it immediately." The little officer behind them said.

The little official turned his face and faced Zhang Zeduan's eyebrows, Zhang Zeduan's heart jumped suddenly, because although this little official looked white and clean, his eyes and eyebrows were hanging, and his eyes were ruthless, and he was clearly the kind of person who acted unscrupulously.

The little official didn't notice Zhang Zeduan, his eyes were cold, he swept through the crowd in the restaurant, and then walked down the restaurant.

Descending the stairs, he flashed into the crowd and disappeared a moment later.

After he walked for a while, Zhou Quan also took his friends past the main store of the restaurant, but he didn't notice the little official at all, nor did he notice Zhang Zeduan and the Xiong brothers in the restaurant. He walked all the way, looking around, and finally picked up a corner of the open space, and beckoned to the people behind him: "Knock down the stake and tie it to the rope!" ”

It's just that although he opened his mouth to say hello, the half-grown children who came with him didn't think so, and they were all chatting and laughing.

Zhou Quan understands that this is his lack of prestige.

"Master, take out the money!" He didn't bother to explain and persuade, just like the master Wang who followed him.

Shi Shi pouted and reluctantly took out a lot of money.

At this time, a lot of money is less than 100 yuan, but it usually has about 70 yuan. After taking out this string of money, Zhou Quan said: "Work quickly, just do what I just said, the first to finish, in addition to the ten wen I promised, you can get seven wen money, and the last one to finish, not only do not have these seven wen, but also have to be deducted!" ”

At this time, the labor in Bianjing City is not cheap, and it is a river worker who can earn about 200 yuan a day. But for these half-grown children from the age of ten to the age of fifteen, it is also a good thing to do a little chores to earn a few pennies.

Immediately, everyone started to move, but as they moved, they inevitably whispered.

"Brother Quan looks really drowning, he is so stupid, he wants to send us money!"

"Shhhhh You're as stupid as he is! ”

"In my opinion, you still have to be careful to flatter Brother Quan, he brought a lot of money out!"

Although the words of these people lowered their voices, they were inevitably heard by Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan didn't have anger on his face, but he secretly felt pity in his heart.

Even if these people have a good relationship with him, they are not completely convinced after all. But this is also what he expected, today's trip is still a screening, among this group of teenagers, as long as there are three or five who can enter his eyes, it is considered good.

On the contrary, it was Li Bao, who didn't say a word when he was doing things, and he was decent, and Zhou Quan abducted him in vain.

They set up stakes here, naturally some people pointed fingers, and some sergeants from the military patrol shop came up to ask, but Zhou Quan hurriedly reported his father's name, and those sergeants watched the excitement with a smile.

This place was circled, and an opening was left for people to enter, Zhou Quan took a look, and those half-grown children were clamoring for him to pay money immediately.

"Huh." The teacher next to him covered his mouth and laughed, obviously laughing at Zhou Quan, he couldn't control these half-sized children at all.

Zhou Quan didn't take these bear children to heart, don't look at them shouting now, and there will be times when they regret it in the future.

The bears received the money, and they were about to disperse in a hula, leaving only eight. They took the money, a little embarrassed, discussed a few words in a whisper, and asked in front of Zhou Quan: "Brother Quan, do you want us to help?" ”

"You're willing to stay and help, that's for the best." Zhou Quan began to assign tasks to them.

As soon as the task was completed, I heard a male duck crying: "It's so lively, how can you not have me, Zhou Quan, I heard that you have lost your soul, this is even more stupid!" ”

Zhou Quan frowned, and the male duck's throat was full of smugness. He looked over to the voicer, and saw a chubby young man approaching.

This kid is arrogant, his eyebrows are slanted and his eyes are crooked, he is clearly a child of a wealthy family, but he wants to make a rogue appearance. Behind him, more than a dozen boys of about the same age, holding arms, clenching fists, and deliberately putting a plaster on their faces.

Among them are the three boys who said that Zhou Quan was stupid in the morning.

Zhou Quan glanced at them, and there was only one feeling: naïve.

But the neighborhood boys around him instantly became nervous, clenching their fists one by one, even Li Bao was no exception.

"Sure enough, it's stupid and stupid, can't you even speak, and when you see grandpa, I don't know how to say hello?"

The fat boy spoke again, and his intentions were clearly not good.

It's just that although this fat man is arrogant, looking at Zhou Quan, he is clearly still a little jealous, and he should have suffered a loss in the hands of Zhou Quan.

Although Zhou Quan is only fifteen years old, he is tall and has learned the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and there are few opponents among teenagers of the same age.

"Guys, let's get on with our work." Zhou Quan said to the neighborhood boy on his side.

"Huh?" The neighborhood boy was stunned.

"We are doing business, not the kind of scoundrels who have nothing to do, let's do the work." Zhou Quan said again.

When he said this, everyone understood, and immediately burst into laughter, and then acted according to Zhou Quan's instructions.

When the fat boy saw this, he was shocked and angry, shocked that Zhou Quan was no longer just a reckless man like before, and angry that he was ignored.

"I'm just waiting to see your jokes, you idiot who was kicked out of the academy!" The fat boy shouted.

This time everyone ignored him, and Li Bao placed a shelf next to the entrance and pasted a piece of paper.

There were four big words written on the paper: Ordered to guess the riddle.

When these four words were posted, those who pointed and pointed immediately surrounded them. There are literate people, and they suddenly ask curiously: "Ordered...... Guessing? Who's on whose orders, and what riddle to guess? ”

"Hahahaha, what other riddle can he be ordered to guess, so it's just a mystery!" The fat boy shouted.

"Guess the riddle on the orders of Da Yin." Zhou Quan ignored him, smiled and made a group of fists, and then waved his hand.

Li Bao didn't say a word, put the second shelf on the other side of the entrance, and pasted a blank piece of paper.

This time, there were more words on the paper, and someone read it out: "The kid has no form, he entered the Kaifeng Mansion because of the matter, and the big Yin Cha kid is ......."

What is written on the paper is what happened in Kaifeng Mansion a few days ago. Especially the riddle, the riddle was not written on the paper, only that after guessing the result, it was praised by the government Yin, so he was exonerated and left.

At this time, the commodity economy in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the market culture also arose, so commentaries, miscellaneous dramas, puppet shows, etc., were popular in the tile hook column. Although Zhou Quan's prose is far from elegant, the story flows smoothly and fits the taste of the market, so the reader's eyebrows are dancing, and the listener is also full of interest.

"I see, you guessed the riddle of Dayin, so you came to the tile and let us guess the riddle?" After listening, someone shouted.

"Guess the riddle, I call it the sky!" Zhou Quan smiled and groaned.

The so-called color riddle, in fact, is to guess the riddle to gamble, and the day is the rule set by Zhou Quan, every guess a riddle, it is considered to pass a level, if you pass the nine levels, it is a success in the day, you can get the grand prize.

Participants in the quiz need to hand over five copper coins as the entrance fee, and if they pass the first level, not only the entrance fee will be refunded, but also one penny will be awarded. But if you are willing to continue to break through, the second level of the lottery money reaches five Wen, the third level is ten Wen, the fourth level is twenty Wen, and so on, until the ninth level is a hanging money.

Winnings can be accumulated, but as long as one level is lost, all previous winnings will be lost.

"Five cents, if it goes well, you can exchange it for more than two thousand cents at most!"

The onlookers suddenly became eager, five yuan is really nothing to the people of Bianjing who can have a daily income of more than 200 yuan, but if they can pass the nine levels and exchange for more than 2,000 yuan, it will be a windfall.

However, seeing that it was only some market teenagers who were in charge of this, they couldn't believe it: Could these teenagers be playing tricks on people for fun?

But Zhou Quan's "Da Yin" signboard is somewhat useful, not only to arouse the curiosity of these onlookers, but also to make them have an illusion in their hearts: this "breaking through the sky" color puzzle scene has been recognized by Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

"I'll guess, I'll guess!" An idler shouted.

It was Xiong Er, who squeezed down to watch the excitement.

"Okay, since this big brother is the first, we will not receive the door fee when we open the door, but before that, there is something I have to tell ......" Zhou Quan said loudly.

There is always a right or wrong guessing puzzle, and if someone guesses wrong and is not convinced, they can take out the same amount of money as the reward and apply for the mystery to be made public. Listening to Zhou Quan say this rule, the people around him laughed, and some of them had a heart, and secretly praised it, this kid doesn't know whose family it is, and he thinks about things well.

Xiong Er couldn't wait for a long time, and came to the entrance: "Mystery come, mystery come!" ”

Zhou Quan smiled and took out a folded piece of paper in the carton at the entrance, then opened it and showed it to Xiong Er.

Xiong Er was literate, and read it out: "Draw the time round, write the time square, the winter time is short, and the summer time is long - guess a word...... What is this? ”

He was scratching his ears and cheeks, and someone behind him shouted, "It's not easy, it's a 'day'!" ”

is a student living in Bianjing, with a servant, standing outside the circle of people to watch the excitement.

Xiong Er was immediately overjoyed: "Yes, yes, it's the word 'day', give money, give money!" ”
