Chapter XXXIV Delivery

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Liu Yang was curious for a while, and asked his subordinate Chen Shan to immediately check the origin of the bead, but he never thought that he had been led by the nose of the dragon locker. Mu Qingming then learned the news, and he was not worried about what Liu Yang could find out this time. The plans of the dragon lockers were all carried out according to the original plan, and Mu Qingming was going to take his disciples to the theater in a few days. A few days later, Mu Qingming got a ticket from Zhao Liang, so he took Zhang Xiaosheng and Jiaoyun to listen to the play. Before leaving, he had asked Ah Hong and Miaobi to take it first and go to the snitches to receive the goods. At the same time, let Miaotian take the first step and rush to the Qi family's mansion, waiting for Ah Hong and Miaobi to rush to the Qi mansion with beads. 】

Five days later, it was also a cloudless autumn day. But when the genius darkened, it was a little cold.

The flowers and plants planted in the small courtyard of the Mu family swayed their branches and leaves in the cold wind. Although it is already autumn, these plants and trees are still flourishing, and at a glance, they are green.

In the wind, a few osmanthus trees next to the stone steps in front of the main house fell a little petal. The fragrance of osmanthus slowly spreads in the wind.

Mu Qingming carried the birdcage, climbed the wooden staircase leading to the second floor at the edge of the main house, and sent the birdcage containing the night owl to the second floor of the main house.

Foot down the stairs, there was a slight creaking sound from his step.

After the small courtyard of the wooden family was rebuilt, the three rooms on the upper floor of the main house were idle as in the past. It's just that Tie Hua made a large rectangular barn next to the wall in the depths of the big room in the middle, about five feet high, which was used to stack rice and store grain. The rest, without any furniture, looked at the entire upstairs empty.

On the barn made of wooden planks, there are several pieces of rune paper, which are different from ordinary rune paper, not yellow but white. There is a double pattern of winged tigers between the runes.

These are the talismans of the dragon locker and the rats, which are specially designed to prevent the rats from stealing food.

It is exactly the same as the talisman stickers on the beams in the kitchen of the small courtyard.

Mu Qingming brought the birdcage in, placed it in the corner of the room, and went to close the open wooden windows facing the small courtyard.

It's a little shady in the morning and evening these days, and there will be frost from time to time. Although the two night owls raised by Mu Qingming were already adults, Mu Qingming was also afraid that they would get sick because of the cold, so he placed the two night owls upstairs.

lest the sudden frost hurt the two night owls.

If the sun is shining during the day, it will be lifted down and hung on a tree in the courtyard to bask in the sun for the night owls.

Mu Qingming, who had placed the night owl, turned back downstairs, and happened to meet Zhao Liang, who had come to eat, and was picking his teeth with a toothpick and walking out of the main house.

It seems that this Zhao Liang is full of food and drink, and his face is full of satisfaction and comfort.

Seeing Mu Qingming going downstairs, Zhao Liang stood at the top of the stairs, took out four tickets for the play with peony flowers, and handed them to Mu Qingming: "Little Peony's play, it is tonight's play ticket, this is hard to find, I have entrusted a lot of people, and it was not easy to get these four, and your family can only go to four people." But you kid wasn't good at this before, why did you think of watching Dian Opera? ”。

The matter of this drama ticket is still a few days ago, Mu Qingming suddenly came to Zhao Liang and said that he wanted a few tickets to see the Dian Opera, and he also named the surname, and wanted to see the play of Xiao Peony, the big name of the Dian Opera.

Even if Mu Qingming gave the money at that time, not a single cent, and promised to help Zhao Liang investigate one thing, he was still worried about Zhao Liang; Although Little Peony is little known outside Kunming, it is a smash hit in Kunming City.

It is said that this little peony is famous for singing local folk tales, because it is easy to understand, and these stories are widely sung in the stories of central Yunnan, so the little peony is deeply loved by dignitaries and ordinary people. Once on stage, tickets are always in short supply. The theater garden is also full.

Although Zhao Liang has been promoted now, he can't stand the fact that Little Peony is more famous than him. The tickets for this drama can be sold so that others can grab the tickets and end up bleeding, which is really difficult to get, and Zhao Liang can't coerce and lure Xiao Peony to give him two tickets.

And Mu Qingming still wants today's tickets, which makes Zhao Liang a little embarrassed.

Thanks to a lot of people, Zhao Liang finally bought these tickets for Mu Qingming.

Mu Qingming took the ticket, just looked left and right, and received it in his sleeve.

"I haven't seen your authentic Dian opera, so I thought I'd go and see it. I heard that this little peony's play is good; Then since you want to watch it, of course you have to watch his play. Mu Qingming replied casually, and then asked casually: "What is written on the water sign in the opera garden today?" What's going on at night? ”。

Zhao Liang picked his teeth, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It seems to be "Chen Yuanyuan's Monk", or "Death Slope" or something." ”。

Zhao Liang is not sure, he doesn't like to watch dramas, he has the kung fu to watch dramas, he might as well find a tavern to drink two cups of wine.

Therefore, I am not very familiar with these play titles.

"Come on, don't care what he's doing, I'll go to Yunjin Night Market at night." Mu Qingming raised his hand and bowed slightly to Zhao Liang: "Thank you." ”。

"Thank you for dinner." Zhao Liang, who waved his hand lightly to show his unkindness, walked into the courtyard of the Mu family's courtyard with a toothpick in his mouth, and walked towards the gate: "Let's go, I still have to be on duty tonight, no matter what you want to do today, don't make any big moves for me; I'll treat you to tea another day. ”。

Although Zhao Liang didn't know Mu Qingming's true purpose, he had a vague premonition that Mu Qingming seemed to have something to do tonight, so he couldn't help but tell Mu Qingming.

After all, he Zhao Liangke has to be on duty tonight, although he has a good relationship with Mu Qingming, but if Mu Qingming really does something too big and makes a lot of trouble in the city, it will be difficult for him to explain to his boss in the future.

Zhang Xiaosheng opened the door for him, and Zhao Liang walked out without looking back.

Closing the courtyard door, Zhang Xiaosheng turned back to the main house, found Mu Qingming, who was already sitting in the main house, rubbed his hands and said, "Master, I've seen it all, Brother Zhao Liang gave you four tickets, or Xiao Peony's tickets." You see, you and Shi Niang only need to get two tickets, don't you have two more? Waste is also waste, why don't you give me one too, and take me one to see. ”。

Mu Qingming turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaosheng, there was a lot of flattery in the smile on his face, hehe, and asked rhetorically: "You kid also want to watch the show?" ”。

Zhang Xiaosheng immediately nodded a few times and replied: "I think, especially this little peony play, I have been watching it for a long time." ”。

Mu Qingming didn't think much about it, so he answered, and then ordered: "If you want to watch the play, go and help your Senior Sister Jiaoyun wash the dishes." Then call your uncles over. ”。

Zhang Xiaosheng's heart suddenly burst into joy, and he went to help Jiaoyun clean up the dishes and chopsticks without bargaining, and then turned around and went out to wash the dishes at the well.

Mo Han on the side stood up, stretched, sat down again, and asked, "Who is this little peony?" ”。

"A corner of Dian opera, I heard that it is very famous in the city." Mu Qingming didn't know much, so he said whatever he knew: "You can know if you watch the play tonight, whether you are really famous." ”。

"Oh." Mo Han lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, without asking anything more.

"Young Master." After a while, Miaobi and a few of them who were originally in other rooms, washing dishes and feeding the palace guards, all returned to the main house.

"We're all going according to plan tonight, and Ah Hong and Miaobi go to the snitch and get the beads back. Remembering one thing, washed away their memory. When Mu Qingming sat down, he said unhurriedly: "Miaotian will go over in a while, the Qi family will wait first, and by the way, lead the watcher at the entrance of the alley over." You get the beads and go directly to Qifu. ”。

Mu Qingming already knew everything about the Immortal Dao monitors in the vicinity.

And everything he did tonight was to sing a good show to these monitors.

Miao Tian nodded, and after answering, he said, "I'll go now." ”。

Mu Qingming looked at the sky outside the door, and it was completely dark between heaven and earth. Ah Hong has already lit all the lanterns hanging in the small courtyard, and the entire small courtyard has been lit up.

When night falls, all parts of the city outside the courtyard are also lit up, fading away from the bustle and noise of the day, and most places are quiet under the bright lights.

This time is almost over, and Mu Qingming has also responded. Na Miaotian stood up and walked out with a big swagger.

"Miao Le and Miao Yu are at home, Aunt Long is in retreat these days, look at her, and you will also point out where you can't practice." Mu Qingming then arranged the rest of the tasks.

"Master, do you want to wash away all the memories of those snitches, and they will steal everywhere in the future." Ah Hong, who entered the main house, waited until Mu Qingming finished speaking, and asked thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, these snitches are not good people." ”。

"Forget it, keep them, Zhao Liang still wants to arrest them for meritorious service." Mu Qingming didn't agree, and he didn't want to let these snitches go.

It's just that this matter, in the final analysis, is the business of the turbid tires themselves, and it is inconvenient for the dragon lockers to interfere too much, so it is better to leave it to Zhao Liang to do it.

Miaotian had already gone out, and Ah Hong and Miaobi also got up, ready to leave for the South Sect.

"Wait." Mo Han suddenly stopped Ah Honghe Miaobi and said, "I heard that those snitches have a lot of dirty money in the ocean. You guys find a way to get some back. If this money falls into the hands of Zhao Liang and the policemen, they don't know where it will go. Bring it back, and we can also scatter some to the poor in the city. ”。

Ah Hong heard this, and looked at Mu Qingming with an inquiring gaze.

The master didn't nod, even if it was the master's order, he didn't dare to do it without permission.

Mu Qing meditated for a while and felt that it was right, so he bowed his head slightly, and signaled to Ah Honghe Miaobi, you can do it......

After another moment, the courtyard door of the Mu family's courtyard opened again, and Ah Hong and Miaobi walked out of the courtyard together.

They didn't cast a concealment spell, showed their figures, and swaggered out.

As soon as he went out, he attracted the attention of the Changshengdao watchdog hidden in the alley.

Without saying a word, the watcher quietly followed.

Ah Hong and Miaobi, the two uncles and nephews, walked very slowly, chatting all the way out of the alley, like strolling around.

It's not at all in a hurry.

But the more this happened, the more anxious the Immortal Dao Monitors who were following them became.

But this monitor, he didn't dare to get too close, for fear that he would be detected by the magic pen and ruin the big thing.

Several of them monitors, day and night monitors Mu Qingming and others, just to understand one thing - what did Mu Qingming spend a lot of time taking beads for?

Liu Yang expected that Mu Qingming would definitely start acting after taking the beads, and the monitors would follow Liu Yang's plan to find out Mu Qingming's true purpose.

And Ah Hong and Miaobi walked out of the alley and headed towards the south of the city.

The watcher saw that the two of them were going to the south of the city, and most of them were also going to the south of the sect to find those snitches, so they simply stopped hesitating and followed.

On the street from Sala Lane to the South Gate, it is quiet all the way.

Every shop is closed at night. On the long streets, it is difficult to see pedestrians.

Some large shops have taken off the front of the store. But the large lantern still hanging high above the door slowly rotated in the night wind.

The fallen leaves on the ground at the entrance were also blown by the night wind.

Ah Hong followed Miaobi all the way south, and he also walked very slowly.

After walking for a long time, they came to the city gate. Without saying a word, the two went out of the city along the city gate and went straight to the Nanjiao field.

The Immortal Dao Monitor, who was following them, also followed.

After a while, the two came to the South Sect Field.

Like many other places in the city, it is covered in silence at nightfall, and there is not half a figure to be seen at night.

In the distance, in the courtyard of the hut on the edge of the school field, there were lights on, and it seemed that the snitches were there.

The wind stopped, and there was no sound in the huge Nanjiao field.

Today's Nanjiao field is no different from the past, and it is also deserted at night.

"Let's go, it's time for the Snitch to deliver." Saying this, Miaobi took the lead in stepping forward, walking towards the depths of the South Sect.

Ah Hong didn't say a word, and followed.

The watchdog of Changsheng Dao, not far behind them, heard these words clearly, and continued to keep his distance, quietly following.

After a while, Ah Hong and Miaobi walked to the middle of the school field, in front of the small adobe houses, where they were robbed by the snitch half a month ago.

Tonight is no exception, Miaobi and Ah Hong just walked here, the dark shadow behind the house shook out, and a few snitches with big knives or axes in the night rushed out, surrounded Miaobi and Ah Hong in the middle.

"Why, didn't you get hurt last time?" Ah Hong, who was standing still, looked around at the snitches around him, and asked slowly without fear.

Before he could speak, the snitches, who couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, heard Ah Hong's voice and recognized the identity of the person who came.

One of the snitches hurriedly said politely: "It turned out to be a nobleman, we thought that someone who came here without opening our eyes came here, and we misunderstood." ”。

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully.

The other snitches were no longer murderous, and hurriedly gave Ah Hong and the wonderful pen respectfully, and saluted together.

"Today, it's time for you to deliver the goods, right?" When the snitches straightened up, he held the money bag on his waist with his right hand and said, "The day we agreed on has also come." ”。

"Yes, don't worry, the goods are ready, you can go to inspect the goods now." Under the night wind, the snitches put away the sharp weapons in their hands, and one of them beckoned and said, "Xiao Qi, you take the nobles to see the eldest brother." ”。

As soon as the words landed, he retreated with the other snitches, retreated under the eaves in the darkness, and continued to hide in the darkness to stand guard.

Only the snitch named Xiao Qi who was left behind was still standing in place, but he took out the fire fold on his waist, pulled out the lid, and shook it gently, and a little flame ignited at the top of the fire fold.

The firelight broke through the darkness and illuminated the snitch named Xiao Qi, whose face was traversed by a large conspicuous scar.

Don't say it, Xiao Qi's face is really scary. Leng Buding saw the scar on his face that crossed the bridge of his nose in the dark, and normal people were still startled.

Even Ah Hong was stunned when he saw it suddenly, and secretly thought in his heart: If this guy becomes a bandit, he will definitely be able to do half the work if he robs the road or something.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Qi smiled at them slightly, and because of the scar on his face, the smile was also a little infiltrating.

"Two nobles, please come with me, go to inspect the goods first. As long as you finish inspecting the goods and think there is no problem, we will settle the payment and deliver the goods. Xiao Qi, who said this, turned around, led Ah Hong and Miaobi, and walked slowly towards the west of the South Sect.

Above the teaching field, the night breeze rises again.

The night wind whistled through the teaching ground, and the surrounding grass and trees swayed in the wind, and the dust and sand particles on the teaching field flew up with the wind under the night.

"Ah Hong, don't be careless, these snitches deliver so quickly, we still have to keep a snack." Before he took two steps, Miaobi used his mind to transmit the sound, and secretly admonished Ah Hong, and at the same time looked left and right vigilantly.

They were followed by the Immortal Dao Monitor, who also continued to follow silently in the wind.

Will the snitch deliver the goods happily? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[The water card of the Lock Dragon Man Small Theater - water card, the pink lacquered wooden card used for Chinese folk messages and notes in the old days. It is popular all over the country, and it has been in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It is a kind of billboard, commonly known as "water sign". 】
