Chapter 286: Wolf Disaster in the Mountain Village (24)

With the little fox's sentence 'Li Chang didn't make sense to inform you Dong Erzhu back then', the people present shifted their eyes to Dong Erzhu again.

At this time, I saw that Dong Erzhu's face was first red, and then blue and white alternately poured back and forth for a few rounds, and finally sighed and said: "You are right, Erzhu, I also learned from others afterwards that my father and Li Changnianbo were killed by bandits on the road." If it weren't for my father who quietly pulled me aside and whispered to me before leaving, I, Dong Erzhu, would have died at the hands of this gang of bandits! ”

It turned out that just before Dong Yuanwai set off to Lijia Village to meet Li Chang and his entourage, he had found an opportunity for no one to take the opportunity to pull Dong Erzhu, who was sixteen years old at the time, aside and whispered.

Dong Yuanwai told Dong Erzhu that the wealthy businessman who intended to buy Bi Fangwei Yu at a high price this time lived in Songyuan Mansion City, so as soon as he entered Songyuan Mansion City, he would immediately ask someone to come to Dongjiazhuang to report his safety to his family.

After speaking, Dong Yuanwai handed Dong Erzhu a heavy burden: "Remember, if two days later, there is still no one to come home for my father to report his safety." That kid, you immediately found an excuse to go out to visit friends, and hid in Anping County with this bag of loose silver. If my father can come back by luck, I will go to the Dongchang Inn in the east of Anping City to find you! ”

Speaking of which, there may be officials who want to ask: "It seems that the director thinks that this time he is a wealthy businessman who traded with him for the tail feathers...... Isn't he a good person? So what else is he going to do? Dare to love your own life is not worth it? ”

This magistrate has a saying that 'knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts', and sometimes the reason why bad people refuse to do evil is just that the benefits they get are not tempting enough.

Dong Yuanwai must have inquired about the personality of this wealthy businessman in advance, and felt that this person had always been in good faith, so he was willing to come to him to do business, but this did not mean anything.

Doing a business of 1,000 taels of silver does not mean that doing a business of 10,000 taels is also behaving in accordance with the rules, not to mention that there is a treasure of the King of Ten Thousand Slaves who is said to be rich and rivals the country!

When the temptation reaches this level, anything can happen!

There is a saying that 'wealth is sought in danger', and this transaction is actually a gamble!

If the wealthy merchant was really willing to buy the Bi Fang tail feather for 10,000 taels of silver, no matter whether he could get the treasure of the King of Wannu in the end, the Dong family would sell him a big favor.

In the future, if there are such wealthy businessmen, the wealth of the Dong family in the next few decades can be expected.

As long as you don't lose all the games, such a big fortune is worth fighting, as long as my son Dong Erzhu can live in the end!

As the old saying goes, 'when you are in danger, you can give it up', and for Dong Erzhu, his mother died early, and Xiuying had never married at this time, so there is no eternal problem of who should be saved first when his mother and daughter-in-law are in danger together.

In Dong Erzhu's opinion, at this moment, what can be related to him in Dongjiazhuang is just an aunt and her cousin...... If I can survive this calamity safely, when I take over the family business in the future, I will not treat you badly.

However, the above scene quickly became an unrealistic fantasy.

On the fourth day after Dong Erzhu arrived at the Dongchang Inn, the Anping County Commander suddenly assigned three classes of officials to close the city in broad daylight.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rumor in the market: last night, a group of bandits of unknown origin took advantage of the night to burn down Dongjiazhuang, which is fifteen miles away from the city!

When the bad news came, Dong Erzhu locked himself in the room and howled.

After venting, Dong Erzhu, who knew that he couldn't stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time, immediately packed up all the remaining belongings around him and mingled incognito among the three sects and nine streams.

Later, how Dong Erzhu met the Demon Ancient Daoist has already been written earlier, and I will not repeat it here.

However, it was said that after Dong Erzhu killed the Demon Gu Daoist, he scavenged all the belongings he had accumulated over the years.

Dong Erzhu, who had hundreds of taels of silver in his pocket, finally had some confidence, and began to plan how to avenge his father.

Thinking of the previous Anping County Order after the bandits ransacked Dongjiazhuang, they didn't want to arrest and investigate the case at all, and only knew the situation of blindly closing the city to protect themselves, it is not difficult to see that if you count on the government to avenge your father...... It's better not to count on that.

So Dong Erzhu hit the idea on the Wenxiang Sect, which was very popular back then, and used the power of the Wenxiang Sect to hunt down and strangle this bandit, so as to comfort Dong Yuan's external heavenly spirit.

To make a long story short, after some twists and turns, Dong Erzhu finally joined the Smelling Incense Sect as he wished, and became a handyman under the jurisdiction of the Incense Workshop.

Something like purchasing goods, isn't that the Dong family's handiwork? As a result, all the materials purchased by Dong Erzhu are all high-quality and inexpensive goods.

After handing over the materials, not only did the superior sect members praise them well, but the owner of the incense making workshop who arranged for Dong Erzhu to go out to buy the materials could often get a lot of filial piety from the former.

came and went, and Dong Erzhu soon became the hardcore confidant of the owner of the incense workshop.

In the second year of Dong Erzhu's joining the Smelling Fragrance Sect, the owner of the incense shop suddenly quietly found Dong Erzhu one day and asked him if he had a way to get rid of a batch of old musk, and then buy a batch of high-quality and inexpensive new musk to come back to meet the shortage...... If there is any benefit to this out-of-one entry, you can divide it into three percent.

(The market price of natural musk is more than 600 yuan a gram, which is almost twice the price of gold, and it can only be more expensive in the Qing Dynasty)

Although Dong Erzhu did not have any way to get rid of musk in his hands, it did not prevent him from paying out of his own pocket and pasting silver upside down to pat the owner's ass.

After drying the owner for three days, Dong Erzhu deliberately pretended to be dancing and went to the owner to report the good news.

After praising four or five times in a row, 'really capable', the owner waved his hand to rebuke the other sectarians in the incense shop, and led Dong Erzhu to the cabinet of precious medicinal materials to receive the old musk.

However, as soon as the door of this cabinet was opened, Dong Erzhu grew his mouth as if he had seen a ghost, and one hand was fixed on pointing to a long blue feather with red stripes on a blue background inserted in the porcelain pen holder on the top floor of the cabinet of precious medicinal materials!

The owner of the workshop also thought that Dong Erzhu was a country boy who had never seen the world, so he deliberately pointed to the two blue tail feathers and waved at him: "I haven't seen this feather, have you?" Teach you a good job, this is the tail feathers of the ancient exotic bird. This Bi Fang Ping is good at feeding on all kinds of poisonous insects, so this tail feather can kill insects and sting. ”

Dong Erzhu, who found out that the owner of the workshop was likely to know what secrets, immediately patted his ass, and sent out his big hat as if he didn't want money.

The owner who was blown fluttering by Dong Erzhu smiled at him: "You kid must know the legend of the treasure of the Ten Thousand Slave King, right?" To tell you the truth, that treasure is buried in an abyss called Heartfall, and this Bi Fang tail feather is the key to unlock the treasure. Hey, it's a pity, a Bi Fang tail feather is still too few after all, and the treasure of this gold mountain and silver sea can be seen but touched, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
