Outside the courtyard of King Yan, everyone helped Xiao Fan carry a few heavy silver boxes, walked out of Wuyi Alley, and stopped at the corner of the alley.

Xiao Fan casually pushed one of the silver boxes in front of the brocade guards, and said heroically: "Today, I have worked hard for all the brothers, this box of silver is rewarded to you by the official, take it and divide it." ”

Everyone immediately rejoiced, looking at the weight of the box, there must be more than a thousand taels of silver in it, and each person can get dozens of taels, which is a windfall from heaven.

"Thank you for your generous gift, my subordinates are willing to go to the soup for your lordship!" Everyone responded with their fists clasped in unison.

With Lord Xiao, not only can you run rampant in Beijing unscrupulously, but also have money to take, Lord Xiao is really a good person! With such a good-hearted boss, how can everyone refuse to serve him?

Xiao Fan looked at the group of Jinyi guards with a smile on his face, and suddenly his expression perked up, and he shouted loudly: "Follow me-"

The crowd responded: "There is meat to eat!" ”

"Yes!"

The inner hall of the Xiao family.

Xiao Thrush was like a happy little bee, his eyes were shining with exquisite silver, greedy and hungry to hold the three large silver chests placed in the hall, and he would not let go.

"Xianggong, we're sending it again!" Xiao Thrush clenched his little fist excitedly and whispered excitedly.

"Why do you say again?" Xiao Fan paused, and then reacted, well, that's not wrong.

"Xianggong ......" After Xiao Thrush was excited, he gently pulled Xiao Fan's sleeve: "Xianggong robbed the road just now?" ”

"Huh? Why did the lady say this? ”

Why is this girl full of violent thoughts? Do you have to rob the road to make money? Can't I make money honestly?

"Where did you get so much silver if you didn't rob the Dao Gong?"

It's a bit hard to explain...... "Do you remember the great benevolent man who gave us money last time?" The three thousand taels that were buried in the ground. ”

"Yes." Xiao Thrush was particularly impressed by the great good people.

"Well, that great benevolent man has a kind heart again, and this time he sent us so many ......" Xiao Fan explained as simply as possible.

"Let's thank him, Xianggong." Xiao Thrush has a kind heart and understands Entu.

Xiao Fan stroked her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "I have already thanked him, really." ”

Xiao Thrush smiled with satisfaction: "There is a lot of money, people are stupid, the husband should have a good relationship with him, and our family will not be short of silver to spend in the future...... Xianggong, who is this great good man? ”

"The great benevolent man's surname is Zhu Mingdi, who is the fourth prince of today, and he is the king of Yan."

When Xiao Thrush heard Zhu Di's name, his pretty face suddenly changed, and his originally happy smile suddenly dimmed a lot.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy that our family has made a fortune again? Xiao Fan looked at the thrush curiously, he didn't understand why it was so good, but the little girl's face changed.

Xiao Thrush tried hard to put on a smiling face and said with a smile: "Happy, Xianggong, I'm very happy." ”

"There's one more thing, which I think might be valuable, so I touched it."

Xiao Fan lifted the hem of his robe with great interest, put his hand into the crotch of his pants, and pulled it out with a very indecent posture, and finally took out a jade Maitreya Buddha with a green and transparent look, Maitreya smiled widely, and looked at Xiao Fan and the two with a smile.

"This ...... Someone else sent it too? Xiao Thrush looked shocked.

"This ...... It wasn't given by someone else. Xiao Fan explained with a slight smile: "...... Looking at a very pleasing Buddha statue, I saw that they didn't cherish it very much, and they were messing around, and I felt a little pity, so I touched it back and helped them keep it......"

"This Buddha statue...... Is it worth it? Xiao Thrush exclaimed.

"This Buddha statue is made of fine ice jade, the whole body is clear, the water color is pure, of course it is valuable! And it's worth a lot of money. In the inner hall of the Xiao family, Zhu Yunwen carefully appreciated it for a long time, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and officially came to a conclusion.

Xiao Fan was overjoyed: "It seems that my hand is simply a golden hand, specializing in valuable things...... Your Highness, how much is this thing worth? ”

"If you don't say anything, you'll get three thousand taels of silver." Zhu Yunwen said very firmly.

"Great! Your Highness, the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, you give me three thousand taels, this Buddha statue has sold you! Xiao Fan, who had just finished the crime, was eager to get rid of the dirty.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "This Buddha statue ...... Where did you get that? ”

"Stolen from your Fourth Emperor Uncle's house." Xiao Fan said nonchalantly.

"Ahem...... cough up" Zhu Yunwen coughed, coughing red all over his face, and pointed at Xiao Fan with trembling fingers: "...... You, you're so bold. ”

"The thief doesn't go empty, he finally went into the Yanwang Courtyard, and if he didn't come out with something, how could he be worthy of himself? Don't talk nonsense, three thousand taels of silver will be sold to you, do you want it? ”

Zhu Yunwen's expression was straight, and he said solemnly: "Xiao Shiyu, how can you be like this?" This is immoral! Sage Yun: Scholars of lofty ideals do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible do not receive food from the mouth, the Buddha statue in your hand is not coming from the right way, as the grandson of the dynasty, how can I buy the dirty of thieves? You're underestimating me! ”

"You really don't want to?"

Zhu Yunwen coughed twice, then puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "...... Can it be cheaper? ”

"Two thousand five."

"Two thousand!"

"Two thousand three."

"Two thousand!"

“…… I'm not selling you anymore! Stingy, too grandson. ”

........................ "The matter of King Yan sending someone to assassinate you is over?" Zhu Yunwen stared at Xiao Fan, and the light in his eyes was very sincere.

Xiao Fan sighed helplessly: "What if you don't forget it?" Your Majesty's meaning has been said so obviously, if I don't obey, won't I seek death? ”

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and said with a guilty face: "It's my Zhu family who is sorry for you, the emperor is ruthless, the heavenly family is ruthless, you almost died, but you didn't even give you an explanation, this matter ...... It's not authentic. ”

Xiao Fan said with a smile: "People fight with the enemy in this life, it is not a decisive victory, this time I have suffered a loss, next time I will make up for it, as long as I don't die, there will always be a day to take advantage, and then ...... Your Uncle Four Emperors was blackmailed by me this time, and it was a little shocking to me, that's it, this game is all overthrown, let's reshuffle the cards, and play again, the winner can't always be the winner, and the loser won't be so unlucky, and will lose for a lifetime. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled happily: "You are open-minded, I have always been worried that you have grievances and are depressed, so I came to comfort you, but I didn't expect you to be more open than me." ”

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "What if you can't see it?" I'm just a little brocade guard now, he's a world-famous vassal king, with my strength, can I defeat him? ”

Zhu Yunwen said with a gloomy expression: "The more famous he is, the less solid my heart is, the emperor's grandfather's health is getting worse day by day, and the limit is not far away, but I haven't heard the emperor's grandfather mention this matter again, it seems that the emperor's grandfather wants to put this matter on hold for the time being." In the future, if the emperor's grandfather goes to the immortal, the name of the four emperors and uncles will shock the world, and there will still be more than 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands. How should I deal with myself at that time? ”

"While all the vassal kings are now in the capital division, why don't you let them line up, and you strangle them one by one, one by one?"

Zhu Yunwen's face was embarrassed: "This ...... No, I don't think they'll be that obedient. ”

Xiao Fan said meaningfully: "The time has not yet come, don't act rashly, the cancer of the vassal king will always be removed one day, but it is by no means now, what you have to do now is to be your imperial grandson, and make friends with the vassal kings, and never reveal the intention of cutting the domain, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded vigorously: "I understand your words, I didn't understand them before, but now I understand." Only by showing weakness to the enemy can we preserve ourselves and strengthen ourselves. ”

Xiao Fan smiled with satisfaction: "What a smart kid......

Zhu Yunjun's face was dark: "...... I'm a father to a child. ”

Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder and said very sincerely: "The child is such a cute father as you, his life must be very bumpy, it is lucky to become a gentleman when he grows up, and it is sad to become a pseudo-mother......"

Zhu Yunwen: "............"

Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen were chatting in the inner hall, the two were laughing and laughing, and the inner hall was happy.

There has been a strict hierarchy between monarchs and ministers since ancient times, paying attention to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower, monarchs and ministers, but Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen seem to have completely crossed this invisible gap, the two of them invariably ignore the strict hierarchy of ancient times, the two sit together no big or small, giggling, frank and unrestrained with each other, just like a pair of children with completely equal backgrounds.

The precious friendship deserves to be carefully cared for, and there is such a warm warmth from the inside out.

Both of them understand that it may be difficult to have such a heart-to-heart friend as each other in this life.

When the conversation was hot, I suddenly heard a terrible scream outside the hall.

The two of them looked out at the same time, but saw a gray figure crossing a ** parabola in mid-air, and then flew into the inner hall with a very beautiful "flat sand and falling geese" style.

After a thud, a rather rough landing, there was a scream of extreme pain.

Xiao Fan quickly came back to his senses, hurriedly blocked in front of Zhu Yunwen with his body, and yelled outside the door: "Escort!" ”

"What kind of driver, there is only one breath left, you can't climb up, are you still afraid of his assassination?" Outside the door of the inner hall, Taixu clapped his hands with a relaxed face and walked in slowly.

Looking at the people who fell to the ground and kept screaming, Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen were stunned.

"Master, this ...... Did you do it? Xiao Fan pointed to the people on the ground and asked in surprise.

"Not bad."

After saying that, Taixu squatted down, carefully observed the miserable condition of the person on the ground, and then nodded, as if he was very satisfied with his own violence index.

"For ...... Why? "Xiao Fan's brain is a little short-circuited, when did the old guy become so violent?

Taixu pointed to the man who was rolling on the ground in pain, and said, "Didn't you find out that he was a monk?" ”

Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen bowed their heads at the same time, only to see the person rolling on the ground wearing a gray monk's robe, his bare head covered with dust, and his god looked very embarrassed,...... And it's painful.

"What's wrong with the monk?" Xiao Fan couldn't figure it out, could it be that the monk was born to be beaten?

Taixu clapped his hands for a while, and said leisurely: "The monk is not much, but the poor Taoist is a Taoist, and he can't see a monk the most, as the so-called monk and the Tao are not separated, and the Taoist priest beats the monk, which is a matter of ......course."

"You...... You fart! The beaten monk lay on the ground and retorted weakly.

Taixu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Bald donkey, you dare to contradict Dao Ye and look for death!" ”

After speaking, Taixu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to beat him violently, making the monk mourn and scream.

Zhu Yunwen on the side wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Your master is like this...... You don't care? ”

Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is a religious dispute, this problem can't be solved even after a thousand years, and I can't help it......"

"Are we just going to let your master continue to be violent?"

Xiao Fan thought for a while, and then said very seriously: "Why don't you set up a peacekeeping force in the future." ”

After a long time, he was too tired from the beating, and he stopped panting, and the monk on the ground was already so painful that he didn't even have the strength to moan, and he lay on the ground and twitched.

Xiao Fan cautiously approached Taixu and said softly, "Master has worked hard to beat people...... By the way, this master lying on the ground ......"

Taixu's eyes glared, Xiao Fan hurriedly changed his words: "...... Who is this bald donkey lying on the ground? Master, you casually pulled it in from the street? And then close the door and beat it? ”

Taixu rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know who he is?" As soon as Dao Ye wanted to go out for a walk, he saw a shiny head at the door, which was extremely disgusting...... Look at the way he looks, he should have come to you. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen were dumbfounded for a moment, and then reached out at the same time and touched the black hair on their heads, glanced at each other, and found that each other's eyes were full of happiness. - The monk was beaten this time, and he was really wronged.

After beating people, Taixu clapped his hands easily, and left with a satisfied face, and there was a mournful and moaning monk in the inner hall,...... Bald donkey.

Xiao Fan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt a thrill, and hurriedly stepped forward with Zhu Yunwen, carefully helped the monk up, and sat down on a chair.

Xiao Fan said with a face full of shame: "This master, the master below is too impolite......

The monk's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he couldn't recognize his original appearance for a long time, so he sat on the chair and muttered while twitching: "Calamity, calamity...... Xiao Mansion is indeed the Longtan Tiger's Den, the Longtan Tiger's Den ......"

"The master praised ......" Xiao Fan was very shy and modest.

Looking at the monk with a mildew-looking face uncomfortably, Xiao Fan said guiltily: "This master is here to find me?" ”

The monk hummed and chirped: "Yes......"

Xiao Fan scratched his head, as if he didn't know any monks.

"Dare to ask the master's number?"

"Poor Monk Law Number...... Daoyan. The monk was weakly named.

Dao Yan, formerly known as Yao Guangxiao, was a legendary figure in the early Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Fan touched his chin and looked at Dao Yan, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and admired it in his heart.

How to describe the appearance of this legend? - Appearance before being beaten.

There was once a sentence in the book that described it like this, "The eyes are triangular, the appearance is like a sick tiger, and the surname is murderous." ”

This sentence was once said by a Taoist priest named Yuan Hui, when Yuan Hui saw Dao Yan, he was startled by his appearance, pulled him on the street, and insisted on giving him a hexagram, the process was basically the same as Xiao Fan's acquaintance with Taixu Lao Dao, and after calculating, he came to this conclusion.

After Dao Yan heard this, instead of being angry, he was very happy, he took these words as a compliment, which shows that from ancient times to the present, the spirit of legendary people is abnormal, and if they mix well in the future, they will become legends, and if they don't mix well, they will be terrorists.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered monks who knew Confucianism to go to the Ministry of Rites to take the exam, and Dao Yan also participated, but unfortunately his name fell to Sun Shan and he did not get mixed with an official and a half-position, this result made Dao Yan very disappointed, and he could only continue to wait for a new opportunity to soar.

After eighteen years of Hongwu, he finally let him wait for the opportunity. - He met Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

After the two hit it off, Zhu Di immediately took him back to Beiping and became a host in Qingshou Temple, and at the same time, he began to repeatedly persuade Zhu Di to rebel day and night, and his verbosity was comparable to that of Tang Seng.

This is a mysterious monk, the history books say that the monk Daoyan does not want to be an official position, nor does he love money, and he abstains from women, a person who does not want to be famous, does not want to be profitable, and is not lustful, repeatedly puts the word rebellion on his lips, but he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, what is he trying to do?

Thousands of years later, scholars have finally found the answer, and the only thing that Dao Yan seeks is the word "ambition".

He wants to prove to the world that he is a useful person, a resourceful person who has a lot of knowledge and strategy, don't you believe it? Then I'll prove it to you! How to prove it? - Support the Ming Lord, rebel!

In a simple sentence, learning literature and martial arts will harm the emperor's family.

Xiao Fan was a little excited.

It was a great honor to meet another legendary figure in the early Ming Dynasty.

Enthusiastically stretched out his hand and pressed Dao Yan's shoulder tightly, Xiao Fan forgot and said: "It turned out to be Master Dao Yan, and I finally saw another living one, I am fortunate to ...... it."

Dao Yan's original blue nose and swollen face became a little darker, he paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "Before the poor monk entered your house, he was kicked in and beaten the poor monk like this, do you call this 'lucky meeting'?" ”

Xiao Fan's face was embarrassed, this Zhu Di seemed to really disagree with himself, he had just blackmailed him, and now he was beating the first strategist around him like this, it was too guilty...... "Master, cough, it was actually a misunderstanding just now......

"Misunderstanding? I beat you up and then tell you that it was a misunderstanding, do you do it? Dao Yan was sad and indignant.

"Don't do it! But the master...... There is a debtor and a debtor, and I didn't beat you, what are you angry at me......" Xiao Fan blinked aggrievedly.

Dao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then looked sad: "The Jingshi all say that you Xiao Fan is not easy to match, this statement is really true, a small Xiao Mansion has become a tiger's den ......in Longtan, and it is extremely dangerous."

"Knowing that it is the tiger's den in Longtan, why did the master come to suffer this crime......"

Dao Yan said sadly: "The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell ......"

"Master, my family is very harmonious, not a hell ......" Xiao Fan explained weakly.

"Amitabha, good and good......"

"Master, be careful, my master is a Taoist monk, and I can't hear others chanting the Buddha's name, beware of him running out and beating you again......"

Dao Yan immediately shut up obediently.

"The master is coming to the humble house today, what is the noble matter?"

Dao Yan was full of excitement when he heard this, and immediately jumped up, pointed at Xiao Fan and said angrily: "The poor monk almost forgot!" You...... You thief, return me Bodhisattva! ”

Xiao Fan looked inexplicable: "Your bodhisattva? Who? ”

Then Xiao Fan looked at it with a look of realization, squeezed his eyes at Daoyan easily, and said with a smile: "Master, there is an acquaintance who was taken into the edict by Jinyiwei, are you here to catch people?" ”

Dao Yan's face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Don't blaspheme my Buddha!" I want a bodhisattva, a bodhisattva! That Jade Maitreya Buddha, the jade Buddha statue you stole in Yanwang Courtyard! Give me back! ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen choked at the same time, coughing heartbreakingly.

Then Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen glanced at each other, brushed the hem of their robe, lifted Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "It turns out that the master is here to talk about business, great!" I ask you, how much silver are you going to pay to redeem your bodhisattva? ”

"You...... You stole my stuff and now you're asking me for a ransom? Dao Yan was so angry that he trembled.

"When I enter the door of the Xiao family, it is naturally my thing." Xiao Fan had a very horizontal expression on his face.

"Evil obstacles! Evil obstacles! Dao Yan stomped his feet in pain.
