Xu Sanling watched Zhou Xiaocao and the three of them walk away, and finally sat down on the ground as if they had been drained, unable to get up again. Although it was a cold winter, the sweat poured out like a river that had burst its embankment.

His disciples and men quietly surrounded him, and the eldest disciple stepped forward to support him: "Master! ”

Xu Sanling looked at the eldest disciple weakly, and handed over the silver ticket of one hundred taels in his hand. The eldest disciple took it and looked at it, his face was slightly pale, and he said, "Master, is this the money given by that guy?" That's a lot! ”

Xu Sanling said: "What do you know! One hundred taels, only one hundred taels, all the belongings of the teacher have been lost! ”

The eldest disciple was puzzled: "Is there such a strict zhòng?" ”

Xu Sanling smiled bitterly and didn't answer, and then asked, "Your hometown is in Huainan, right?" ”

The eldest disciple was surprised for a moment, and replied respectfully, "Yes! It was the master who went to Huainan to do business back then, and when he saw that the apprentice's family was poor, he felt pity and accepted the apprentice as a disciple. This incident has always been remembered in his heart, and he dare not or forget! ”

Xu Sanling shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean to be a teacher. As for you, let's go back to your Huainan. ”

The eldest disciple was no longer surprised this time, but surprised, and was greatly surprised: "What? Why? ”

Xu Sanling said: "The capital, it's not peaceful!" Do you remember not long ago, we took our account and transported 30,000 catties of pig iron? ”

The eldest disciple nodded and said, "Remember, why don't you remember!" This was done in vain. What's the problem? ”

Xu Sanling replied: "There is a big problem! That matter was entrusted to the teacher by the people of Prince Gong's mansion. Otherwise, even if you have the courage to be a teacher. I don't dare to take 30,000 catties of pig iron at once! Now, the one who is the only one. He's investigating this pig iron, investigating where it comes from and where it goes! ”

The eldest disciple stiffened his neck and replied: "Investigation will be investigated, we are doing things according to the orders of Prince Gong's Mansion, and we will be afraid of him?" ”

Xu Sanling said weakly: "What do you know? The man also said that he was a good friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

The eldest disciple said, "He is a friend of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? So what! ”

Xu Sanling was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "So what? Immortals fight, mortals suffer! Who is standing behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It's the emperor, it's the court! These 30,000 catties of pig iron, if you don't check it, you can just check it. There are loopholes everywhere! You don't know the rules of the imperial court, but when it comes to iron, coal, and salt, which one is not cautious? Although we can avoid the eyes and ears of ordinary officials, once the imperial court seriously investigates it, how can we afford the consequences? When the time comes, the emperor can't behead Prince Gong's entire family because of this trivial matter. It can only be that we are the scapegoats and finish the job with a single click! ”

The eldest disciple finally knew that he was scared at this time, and asked cautiously, "Then what should we do?" ”

Xu Sanling said: "So, you all disperse!" Relying on a little bit of craftsmanship taught by the teacher. You can live, but you don't have to worry about your livelihood. This is probably the most gratifying part of being a teacher. As for being a teacher. Then I have to shoulder these things and die generously! ”

The eldest disciple said impassionedly, "Master. Since you know that you will die, why not run away together! ”

Xu Sanling shook his head and sighed: "The whole world is not the king's land. If the shore of the land is not a king's minister, as a teacher, where can he flee to? Besides, for the great cause of the teacher's family, he ran away, what about his family? What about the family business? Don't want it all? ”

"That"

The eldest disciple pondered for a moment, then solemnly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xu Sanling three times, and said, "Master adopted me to raise me, and I will be rebuilt." Today, it's time for the apprentice to repay Master's kindness! Master, please leave this matter to the apprentices! ”

As soon as the eldest disciple's words landed, many people immediately echoed in a loud voice: "Yes, we are also willing to bear it with all our might!" ”

"Master's great kindness, the apprentice should be repaid!"

Xu Sanling said loudly: "Bastard! ”

His shout frightened everyone. Xu Sanling stood up slowly, and the body that had just been frightened by Zhou Xiaocao ran away, as if his strength had returned.

Xu Sanling said: "This shop is for the teacher, if there is such a big thing, will I, the master, know about it?" Can the court take your word for it? Obedient, let's disperse! Looking back, I just hope that after the court kills the teacher, you can take care of your family on your behalf, that is. I don't dare to ask for anything else. ”

The eldest disciple stiffened his head and said loudly, "I'm not leaving!" I am willing to live and die with Master! ”

The crowd shouted loudly: "Yes, yes, we are not leaving!" ”

Xu Sanling smiled bitterly and said, "Alas! ”

At the same time, Zhou Xiaocao was walking and singing with great relief: "Walking in all directions, the road is long, the water is long, and the confusion is one village after another."

Ximen Fuxue said: "Young master, you have lost a hundred taels of silver, and your heart is uncomfortable, and this little heart knows it." Please stop singing, it's so uncomfortable to listen to it, it makes me want to cry."

Zhou Xiaocao turned around and kicked: "Fuck you!" Uncle, I'm singing, expressing the joy in my heart, you know what a fart! ”

Then he turned to Yan Qixia and asked, "Wife, what do you think of singing for your husband, is it good?" ”

Yan Qixia didn't expect this matter to be asked about herself, so she first paused for a moment, and then said with relief: "Oh, the concubine is used to listening to it, and she used to listen to it often." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Oh? Did my wife listen to it a lot? This is the first time I've sung, where did you hear that before? ”

Yan Qixia shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Oh, concubines used to kill people a lot, and the screams of those people before they died were similar to the songs you sang just now." ”

"I'll Go"

Suddenly, Yan Qixia stopped, and Zhou Xiaocao, who was walking in front, noticed the movement behind her, turned around, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Qixia's straight nose moved, and she said in a deep voice: "There is a murderous aura!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Xiaocao was completely speechless, can you still smell the murderous aura? In this way, losses can be eaten, and love can also be made.

However, it only took a moment for Zhou Xiaocao to understand that the murderous aura could really be smelled.

Because, he saw, just behind them, two blindfolded women quietly appeared. The two women have graceful figures and light physiques. It's just that their eyes are full of murderous energy.

Murderous, even Zhou Xiaocao felt it.

Zhou Xiaocao snorted coldly: "Retreat!" ”

Yan Qixia shook her head: "It's too late!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao turned his head to look, and two masked women also appeared on the other side.

The place they are in is a narrow alley. Now, with the four masked women in one fell swoop, they became fish and shrimp in the shallows, and there was no way to escape. (To be continued......)
