Chapter 8 Suspicion is a shadow
Ximenqing took Jiao Ting, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Chen Xiaofei, Jiang Jing, Tao Zongwang and his party out of the inn, but they were not in a hurry to go to Mu Hongzhuang, but first found a gold and silver shop, exchanged a lot of gold bills, and poured them into a leather bag, and then urged the horse to go.
Tao Zongwang couldn't help but say: "Brother Ximenqing, our Great Song Dynasty still makes a lot of money, you get these gold bills, I'm afraid that you won't be able to spend them, but what's the use?" ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "I have my own magic for these gold bills!" Jiang Jing secretly twisted Tao Zongwang, and Tao Zongwang didn't dare to ask, but opened his eyes wide, wanting to see what kind of magic Ximenqing was.
Asking the way, he had already come to Mujiazhuang. All the heroes flew off the horse, and Ximen Qing stepped forward and clenched his fists to the two bankers who held the door: "Two big brothers, say goodbye!" ”
A Zhuang guest with a fierce face saw that Ximenqing and his party were all riding high-headed horses, and did not dare to slack off, so he stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Where did the guests come from?" ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Our brother is a guest of the horse seller in the north, and when he came to this Jieyang Town, he heard the prestige of the two owners of Mujiazhuang, so he came to pay a visit, and I hope that this eldest brother will give a message." ”
When the fierce dealer heard this, he shook his hand and said, "It turned out to be a guest selling horses." I won't tell you that there is something going on in my family these days, and the owner of my family is too busy to deal with things, where is the spirit to hand over these foreign affairs? Therefore, he instructed us that all the people who have business on the rivers and lakes, those who show their power, and those who sell jokes at the door, etc., my owner is gracious, and you are exempted from your usual money, and in the big Jieyang Town, although you have the ability, as long as you don't cause trouble, the owner of my family doesn't care about it - do you understand? If you understand, go back! ”
Ximen Qing reached out and grabbed a handful of gold bills from the leather bag, stuffed it into the hand of the fierce villager, and said with a smile: "Since you have come to the West Heaven, how can you go back if you don't see a true Buddha?" I hope that the eldest brother will give us a good voice, and the brothers are grateful! ”
The elite Zhuang Ke grabbed the gold bills full of handfuls, and was taken aback, looked at the gold bills in his hands for a long time with bare eyes, looked up at Ximen Qing for a long time, and then turned his head to Jiao Ting, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Chen Xiaofei, Jiang Jing, Tao Zongwang and others for a long time, and then nodded and said: "That is the case, everyone wait in the shade of the tree over there, and wait for the villain to go in and return for a while." To see or not to see, but by the owner's command. ”
Ximenqing smiled and arched his hand: "It's so hard! ”
The elite dealer said to another dealer: "Two mallets, you take a few stools out, please sit on these masters!" Pour a pot of tea again, and also solve the hard work of walking for a few gentlemen! After the explanation, he nodded to Ximenqing and the others, and then turned around and went in with the gold bill.
Passing through the corridor, the elite Zhuang Ke came to a living room early, heard the sound of talking in the living room, did not dare to collide, looked at the empty space of the voice handover, and coughed a few times.
But I heard a clear voice say, "Is it Mu Da?" In! ”
Mu Da then lowered his head and went in, and said, "Master Qi, a group of guests selling horses have come outside to ask to see!" ”
On the chair in the living room, there were two people sitting side by side, and the big man on the left waved his hand and said: "Brother Song Jiang has a lawsuit, we are discussing saving people, where is there any leisure to care about those people selling horses?" Go out and send those people away! In the future, similar people and so on, all of them will not be seen! ”
"Yes!" Mu Da agreed, but he didn't move, just said in a low voice, "But the owner, that group of horse sellers, is not embarrassed to come!" ”
"Oh?" The big man on the right in the hall asked, "How can you see that they are not embarrassed?" ”
Mu Da then showed the pile of gold bills wrapped in his sleeve: "Everyone, please look! ”
When everyone saw it, they were all taken aback, and asked Mu Dadao: "Where did these gold bills come from?" ”
Mu Da replied: "These gold bills were all grabbed and stuffed to me by the horse dealers just now, so the villain said that they were not embarrassed to come." How much gold can they earn by selling horses? If you call the gatekeeper like this, I am afraid that all the horses of the Great Song Dynasty will be sold to them, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”
The last person on the right said, "Take it and I'll see it." ”
Mu Da put the gold coin on the case in front of the man, and said respectfully: "Xiaolang, please look!" ”
The little man picked up the gold bills one by one and looked at them carefully, bit them a few times in his mouth, and raised his head to everyone in the hall: "Brothers, these gold bills are full of weight, but they are not adulterated!" ”
A man with snow-white skin stood up and said, "Brothers and brothers, aren't these people friends in the rivers and lakes today?" They used the pretext of selling horses to cover people's eyes and ears, nine out of ten out of nine, but they wanted to do a big business in Jiangzhou City, because the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so they came to visit Brother Mu first. Sending these gold bills, the meaning is to throw stones to ask for directions, first surprise us, there are also some! ”
The man on the left chair in the middle of the hall pondered for a long time before he said, "But as far as I know, in the past few days, inside and outside Jiangzhou City, where is there any big oil and water business to be fished?" As soon as these people made a move, they were thinking that they would rob the government's treasury and not be able to go? Or do you want to kidnap the wife and children of the prefect of Cai Jiu? ”
The other person on the right chair also shook his head and said: "Don't say that it is Jiangzhou City, that is, in the Xunyang River, the passing ships that come and go these days do not have such a big deal to make!" These people are really embarrassing, but they can't be seen! ”
The owner of the village on the left chair nodded and said, "According to what Brother Li said!" Since these people are here, and they have made a big move, we should ask them about their intentions! Now that there is such a big event as Brother Gongming, we can't let idle people wait to come and make extraneous branches, but it has ruined our brothers' calculations! ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they all responded in unison: "What Brother Mu said is true!" ”
The owner of the village called to the people: "Mu Da! ”
Mu Da hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain is here!" ”
The owner of the village commanded: "Go out and tell the stewards, let them inform the brothers in the village, tell everyone to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, cheer me up, and watch out carefully!" You yourself hurry up and bring those horse sellers here for me, don't let people wait for a long time, but say that my Mujiazhuang has no hospitality! ”
Mu Da agreed "yes", exited the hall, and reported to the family members of several stewards, and then ran out of the village gate, and saw from a distance that the guests who said they were horse sellers were sitting in the shade of the tree, holding tea bowls and talking and laughing, and when they saw Mu Da coming out, they all stood up.
"Everyone, the owner of my family is invited, please come with the villain!" Mu Da said, bowing down to greet the guests. This is exactly what it is:
The clever plan launched the moon on the horizon, and the gold coin broke through the underwater sky. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
