As the morning sun slowly rose, those who worked for their livelihood began to get busy, and the originally empty and quiet streets gradually appeared with the pace of pedestrians, and the shops that had been deserted all night slowly became lively.

At this time, in a certain guest room of Yangzhou Mansion Station, Liu Hua was standing on the bed, holding a feather duster in his hand, waving back and forth in the air, and talking about Jin Da's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in his mouth.

When he talked about the plot of Ling Hu Chong's bet with Tian Boguang in the restaurant, he saw Hao Impression and Sun Shidong all listening attentively with full faces, and saw that Hao Impression was addicted to listening again, so he did a very inauthentic thing.

I saw Liu Hua knock the feather duster in his hand on the table with a "......snap", and then said in a long voice: "Two listeners, you want to know what is going on, and listen to us next, return, divide, and solve." ”

After saying this, Liu Hua got out of bed, took a sip of water, and then came to Hao Impression with a sincere face: "That's all for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" first, Brother Hao, you still have something to do today, I won't keep you, and you are welcome to come to Yangzhou again when you have time." ”

Hao was addicted to listening to it, but he didn't expect Liu Hua to issue an eviction order in a blink of an eye, seeing that the time was indeed not early, he was in a hurry to return to Zhili, and wanted to know the result of the bet between Lu Dao Ling Hu Chong and Tian Boguang.

After thinking for a while, Hao Impression said to Liu Hua: "You kid is so inauthentic, you hooked my "listening addiction", but you don't tell your story, but my heart is itching very much now, and I can't wait to know the plot behind Lu Dao immediately."

Well, how about I pay you to hire you? Later, you go to Zhili with me, and then you tell me about this "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and after you finish speaking, I will reward you with another 500 taels of silver, how about it? ”

"Isn't five hundred taels less? Or are you going up a little bit? As soon as he heard that he could earn five hundred taels, Liu Hua was actually happy in his heart, but he was worried that if he showed that he was very satisfied, Hao Impression would regret it, so he deliberately bargained with Hao Impression.

Hao looked at Liu Hua helplessly: "Five hundred taels of silver, you are too little?" You still want me to give you a little more, okay, you say, how much? ”

"How about five thousand taels?" Liu Hua adhered to the concept of asking for money on the spot and said a number at will. Unexpectedly, after Hao Impression heard this, he didn't say a word, turned his head and walked out.

"It's not...... You...... You...... Don't go, let's discuss it slowly. Seeing that his big patron was scared away, Liu Hua hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Hao Impression: "I'm joking, I want to adjust the tense atmosphere, why are you still angry?" ”

"Jokes? If I don't leave, I guess your joke will become a reality. After complaining in a dissatisfied tone, Hao Impression said a little depressed: "I said brother, do you think that all the money on my body was picked up for nothing?" It's five thousand taels when you open your mouth, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider. ”

"Didn't I just say it, joke, it's just a joke, hehe...... Let's follow the price you said before, five hundred taels of silver, no one is allowed to change it, I will arrange the work at hand, and then go to Zhili with you. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Hua put all the coins on the table back into the sack, and he asked Sun Shidong to go to the City God Temple for a while, return the silver to the people who rewarded yesterday, and then let Sun Shidong continue to tell everyone the plot behind "Dragon Babu" instead of him.

Sun Shidong had already heard the plot behind "Dragon Babu" last night, and he could tell the plot to everyone, and Sun Shidong would tell the story for everyone instead of him, which could be regarded as an explanation to those audiences.

After arranging this matter, Liu Hua put the silver ticket that Hao Impression gave him before into Sun Shidong's hand, and asked Sun Shidong to send it to Lu Mu.

Neither Liu Hua nor Sun Shidong noticed that when Liu Hua talked about Wu Zhai, Hao Impression next to him stared at him, skimmed Liu Hua with great meaning, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

Sun Shidong looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and said with a halazi in his mouth: "Brother Liu, if you put so much money with me, aren't you afraid that I will run away with this money?" That's more than five hundred taels of silver. ”

"What a little bit of money? Brother, sooner or later, my brother will let all the silver of the entire Qing Dynasty come to us, compared to those money, what is this mere five hundred taels of silver? ”

After saying this rather proud sentence, immediately afterwards, Liu Hua stared at Sun Shidong with some unease: "Stinky boy, I know where your family lives, if you dare to run away with my silver, when I come back, I will go to your house." ”

After instructing Sun Shidong, Liu Hua looked around the room, went out to say hello to the post man in the post station, paid all the accommodation fees for the past few days, and then left with Hao Impression.

Not long after Liu Hua and Hao Impression left, Sun Shidong also left the post station with Liu Hua's feather duster in one hand and a sack containing coins in the other.

On the official road leading to Zhili in Yangzhou, Liu Hua and Hao Impression rode a horse together, the two sat on horseback, chatting with each other, and when Hao Impression learned that the reason why Liu Hua would come out to talk was to earn money to repair Wu's house, he couldn't help asking:

"The Wu Mansion you are talking about, is it Wu Shiyun's mansion fifteen years ago? I heard earlier that the mansion was haunted, and the ghosts inside came back for revenge, not only did there be the cry of female ghosts in the middle of the night, but there were even powerful ghosts who killed seventeen officials in a row. How dare you move into such a murderous house? ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua looked at Hao Impression with some surprise: "Huh? Do you know the details of the Tao? Yes, some time ago, more than a dozen officials were indeed killed in the Wu Mansion, but it was not a ghost killing at all, but man-made, and the thing is like this. ”

Next, Liu Hua told Hao Impression the ins and outs of the matter, and after speaking, he said a little depressed: "After the case was solved, I asked Lord Nian for this Wu mansion, but it has been abandoned for too long, and it must be renovated before it can be lived."

But I didn't expect that if I wanted to repair the Wu Mansion, I would need more than 1,300 taels of silver, where would I get so much money? Although I am a warden from the ninth grade, this position is really light, there is no office space, there is no specific division of labor, and I don't even have a salary, and I usually have to pay for food and water by myself.

In desperation, I had to build a shed at the City God Temple, and then tell these stories in my head paragraph by paragraph, and earn some money from this, otherwise I would starve to death sooner or later. ”

After listening to what happened, Hao Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then whispered to himself: "So that's the case?" I can't imagine that so many things have happened during the time I have been away, Zeng Jing? Hu Yingzhong? Tohezi? Hehe...... It seems that the East Palace is about to be chaotic. ”

After whispering softly, Hao Impression asked Liu Hua, "According to what you say, how talented are you kid in solving cases?" Brother Liu, I have a tricky case here, I don't know if you can solve it? In fact, to be exact, this is not a case, just looking for a person, a person who disappeared out of thin air. ”
