Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Moon Is Dark and the Wind is High

Inside the Drunken Immortal Building.

Xiao Fan lay on the table, unconsciously drawing circles with his fingers.

Tai Xuan stroked his beard and said curiously, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about my father-in-law......"

Tai Xuan smiled: "You should think that your father-in-law's daughter is." ”

Xiao Fan raised his eyes and looked at Taixu and said, "You really know martial arts?" ”

Tai Xuan nodded incomprehensibly: "I understand a little." ”

Xiao Fan said excitedly: "How about finding you a money-making errand?" ”

Tai Xu's eyes lit up: "What errand?" ”

"Go and kill my father-in-law, and I'll give you thirteen taels of silver."

"You...... Amitayus Buddha, the poor path is a monk, not an assassin......"

Xiao Fan sighed and leaned on the table again, he now has a lot of resentment towards his father-in-law Chen Siliu, he really can't figure it out, he is obviously the savior of the Chen family, how can Chen Siliu still calculate him, is his conscience eaten by a dog? Fighting against Jin Yulou is equivalent to fighting with Huang Zhixian, and Chen Siliu can't help but think too highly of himself.

Taixu glanced at Xiao Fan, and began to tempt him again: "Why don't you learn martial arts from Poor Dao, after you finish learning, you can get rid of your father-in-law by yourself, wouldn't it be happy?" Consider considering ......"

Evil old Taoist priest......

With Xiao Fan's wisdom and wisdom, of course he would not accept such a dangerous suggestion.

Taixu sighed, and said: "Jin Yulou is not easy to deal with, your father-in-law asked you to be the shopkeeper of Drunken Immortal Building, I guess I didn't have any kind eyes......

After listening to Lao Cai's introduction, Taixu was also worried about Xiao Fan. For ordinary people, the magistrate is a big man, and it is a crazy suicide to argue with the restaurant opened by the magistrate.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "It's not difficult to deal with it, but I have to go back to Chen's Mansion first and find my father-in-law to grant me authority, I can't do it without his nod......"

"What are you going to do?"

"The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say ......"

Too displeased.

Xiao Fan changed his words: "...... Sanqing Daojun also said: Don't say ......"

Too vain to turn resentment into joy.

************************************

So Xiao Fan went back to Chen's Mansion in a hurry, and then came out again soon.

Seeing that Chen Siliu's process was very smooth, when facing Xiao Fan, Chen Siliu was very weak-hearted, after all, even the life-saving benefactor was calculated, no matter how dark Chen Siliu's heart was, he would feel a little embarrassed.

Xiao Fan held grudges to make his father-in-law, Chen Siliu had to grit his teeth and agree to Xiao Fan's request, but when he agreed, the fat on his face trembled, which was more painful than being stabbed.

When Xiao Fan came out, he was holding a thick account book in his hand, followed by two subordinates from the Chen Mansion, who carried a heavy wooden box.

When passing by the garden in the front yard, Xiao Fan saw Chen Ying'er standing quietly under a plum tree in a daze, looking gloomy, not knowing what to think.

Xiao Fan is a very generous person, he has long forgotten the unpleasantness of that night, out of politeness, Xiao Fan hurriedly waved to her from afar, but unfortunately he was touched with a gray nose.

After Chen Ying'er saw him, Xiao Se's expression quickly became cold and indifferent, and then she turned her head, snorted from her nostrils very arrogantly, and walked with a step, walking like a swan with a great sense of superiority.

The hugging qin behind Chen Ying'er was the same enemy, of course, she followed the young lady, walked a few steps and suddenly turned around, waved her little fist at Xiao Fan fiercely, and made a grimace, which was very cute.

Xiao Fan, who was not welcomed, had no choice but to touch his nose and walked out of the gate of the Chen Mansion in a sneering manner.

Taixu, who was waiting outside the Chen Mansion, was taken aback, looked at the big box carried by the people behind him, took Xiao Fan's hand and said in a trembling voice: "You really killed your father-in-law?" And put him in a coffin so quickly......"

Xiao Fan was stunned: "............"

Taixu lowered his head, and when he saw the account book in Xiao Fan's hand, he couldn't help but become more and more awe-inspiring: "...... Father-in-law's bones are not cold, you have already begun to take over the family property, Poor Dao is not wrong, you are so ruthless and fast, you are really a genius in martial arts, practice martial arts with Poor Dao......"

Xiao Fan was speechless: "............"

What kind of logic is this, old Taoist? What does being ruthless have to do with martial arts wizards?

However, Xiao Fan still expressed a certain admiration for the crazy imagination of the monks.

When Xiao Fan and Taixu, as well as the two subordinates carrying the box behind them, walked on the street, night had fallen.

The winter in Jiangnan is not too cold, and the night breeze blows, Xiao Fan feels a little chilly. The noisy street has been quiet at this time, and there are no nightclubs, KTV bars and other entertainment activities in the Ming Dynasty, and people who work hard for a day to make a living go to bed early.

The streets were empty, and the night wind blew the flags and signs of the shops on both sides, and from time to time a few withered yellow leaves drifted by, and the eyes were full of gloom.

This scene is really suitable for the ancient dragon version of the master duel.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time for Xiao Fan to do things.

Xiao Fan and Taixu walked side by side with him, turned their heads sideways, and saw that Taixu was picking his nostrils with his dirty and black fingers as he walked, digging with a look of intoxication. Xiao Fan frowned and unconsciously moved away from him.

"What are you doing with me? Aren't you busy? Xiao Fan asked strangely, the scammer's business should be very busy, right?

He said lazily: "It's dark to finish work, people seem to have become smart recently, and they don't like fortune telling, which is really not a good habit." ”

"Where do you stay at night?" Xiao Fan was a little ashamed, this friend was really incompetent, and he didn't even ask where he lived, - he was cheated of money in the future, where to find him?

Taixu stretched out his hand and pointed to the east: "Outside the city." ”

"Is there a Taoist temple outside the city?"

"Taoist priests don't have to live in Taoist temples, poor Taoists are very easy-going people, people's firewood houses, landlords' stables, and even monks' temples can be ......"

Xiao Fan nodded, understood, except for the extra piece of "iron mouth straight broken" broken banner in his hand, this guy is not much different from being called Hanako.

"You can sleep in the drunken fairy building at night, a few tables are put together, and you should sleep more comfortably than the firewood room of the landlord's house, and there is no pressure to sleep in the monk temple, Sanqing Daojun is not as easy-going as you are, seeing you sleep in the monk temple, his old man will be unhappy......"

Taixu's face was full of gratitude: "Brother Xiao is really a kind person, thank you to the poor Dao Dai Sanqing Daojun......"

"I only entertain you, not Sanqing Daojun."

"That's, that'...... Where is Brother Xiao going? ”

"Go visit Cao Xiancheng."

"Why are you visiting him?"

Xiao Fan smiled and laughed badly: "I don't dare to argue with Jin Yulou, but Cao Xiancheng definitely dares." ”

************************************

Cao Xiancheng still lives in Guanyi.

Xiao Fan had a familiar face last time, and the effect of the five-money door respect silver had not expired, so the post guard happily put Xiao Fan and the two subordinates who carried the box in, and Taixu began to fool with the post guard with an unfathomable face: "This benevolent brother, you have a bad omen......

…………

…………

Cao Yi's bedroom was lit with candles, and in the dim light, he was drinking. The old servant stood behind him like an old and faithful dog, without saying a word.

Xiao Fan walked in, and then bowed to Cao Yi: "Xiao Fan, a grass man, has seen the second master." ”

Cao Yi squinted his eyes and smiled, so far, the only person in the entire Jiangpu County who makes him look a little pleasing to the eye is probably only Xiao Fan, this feeling is very wonderful, it has nothing to do with status and status, it is completely a mutual appreciation between men.

Eyebrows raised at the wine jar on the table, and Cao Yi asked casually: "It's so late, you specially came to drink with this official?" ”

Xiao Fan looked frightened and hurriedly shook his head: "...... No. ”

"Why are you here without drinking?"

Xiao Fan: "............"

He felt that this county lord was more suitable for making a wine bag and rice bag.

Opening the door, Xiao Fan waved to the door, and the two subordinates carried the box into the house.

Cao Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What is this?" ”

Xiao Fan didn't answer, opened the copper buckle on the box, and then lifted the lid of the box, and the whole room was suddenly full of light.

A whole box of silver! A box of privately minted silver ingots filled with ten taels and one ingots!

Officially, since the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued the Ming treasure banknote, in principle, it is forbidden to use silver as currency, but the treasure banknote is much lower than silver due to indiscriminate printing, inflation, counterfeiting and other reasons, and the people are still accustomed to using silver and copper money as transaction currency.

A box of silver, roughly estimated to be two thousand taels, as soon as the lid of the box was lifted, the silver light suddenly made Cao Yi and the old servant behind him widen their eyes.

After a brief period of consternation, Cao Yi's face sank: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want to bribe the officer? ”

Xiao Fan smiled, waved his hand to send the two subordinates out, and then respectfully handed the account book in his hand to Cao Yi, and said warmly: "My lord, this is the account book of the income and expenditure of the Chen family's drunken immortal building this year, except for all expenses this year, a total profit of more than 4,000 taels of silver, each income and expenditure has an account to follow, please take a look." ”

Cao Yi didn't take the account book, just squinted at Xiao Fan, his eyes were sharp and penetrating.

"What does the account book of your Drunken Immortal Building have to do with this official? What's the use of you showing me the books? ”

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Of course it has something to do with adults, because ...... Half of the Drunken Immortal Building is you, and you are the major shareholder of the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
