Chapter 48: Selling a Tiger Is Not Dangerous to Lose Your Life
Feng Zhongjun knew that his mother was a timid and afraid person, and sometimes he was not very reasonable, although he did not have any bottom in his heart, but he did not blame Fu Xiaojiu at all.
"I also want to earn more money to come to the county seat, how can I blame others? Mother, don't think about it, don't blame others, this is our fate, whether it's good or bad, it's up to fate! ”
Wang was somewhat relieved when she heard Feng Zhongjun's words, but she still couldn't feel at ease until the end of the matter.
Wan Pozi was also a little flustered now, and also said in Fu Xiaojiu's ear: "Xiao Jiu, what do you say this group of people is coming from?" Are they officials or ruffians? ”
Although Fu Xiaojiu couldn't tell whether He Huzi's gang was a businessman or an official, or a hooligan ruffian from the clothing, he didn't think too badly of them when he saw that the material of their clothes was good and that they looked a little disciplined.
Especially to comfort Wan Pozi, Fu Xiaojiu said even better: "I don't think they are like people from official families, they are rich businessmen and rich families, they shouldn't be ruffians and hooligans." ”
Wan Pozi put her hands together on her chest and kept muttering: "God forbid, let's not get into trouble." ”
Don't look at Wan Pozi's usual ability to sprinkle and fight, she is not a person who does not know the height of the sky, in the face of the current situation, if it does not really endanger her interests and personal safety, Wan Pozi still knows the truth of waiting and seeing.
Originally, the tiger on the ox cart was eye-catching, and there were more than a dozen "bodyguards" to open the way, and Fu Xiaojiu's party immediately became the focus of the county.
Fu Xiaojiu was not embarrassed, and took the opportunity to observe the business in the county.
She just found that there was a pharmacy and two medical clinics in the ordinary market, and the flow of customers was not small, but the people who came in and out were plainly dressed or even shabby.
Following He Huzi's group, they had slowly walked to the street market opened by the rich.
There are at least four or five pharmacies and three or four medical centers in this bustling market, and people who come and go are either rich or expensive at first glance.
Fu Xiaojiu had heard Wan Lin say before that many female dependents of wealthy and noble families asked doctors to go to outpatient clinics, but there were no doctors in the county, and the people who went to the clinic were all men.
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't stop pondering in his heart, and as soon as he looked up as he walked, he found that they had walked into a secluded interchange.
"Our lord lives in this alley, and he likes to be quiet." He Huzi's face was still smiling, but Fu Xiaojiu couldn't laugh anymore.
Is there really a home in such a secluded place?
What rich family would want to live here?
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but glance at Feng Zhongjun, Feng Zhongjun also looked at her, only to see Feng Zhongjun clenching the hunting knife on his waist, and the green tendons on his forehead also bulged.
"We're here."
He Huzi suddenly stopped, and Fu Xiaojiu and the others noticed that there was really a family in such a secluded alley.
The walls of this house were very high, and the two black gates were thick and majestic, and at the door stood two big men with the same short clothes and small clothes, and a fleshy face.
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but gasp, feeling like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Looking up again, Fu Xiaojiu found that the plaque hanging above the gate read: Li Mansion.
"Lifu?"
Fu Xiaojiu was a little puzzled, this seems to be majestic, but the family style is too powerful, it shouldn't be an official eunuch's family, nor does it look like a rich family, is this a family that practices martial arts?
Fu Xiaojiu finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother He, may I ask what kind of business your master does?" ”
He Huzi touched his beard and smiled, "These two markets are covered by our master." ”
"Huh?"
Fu Xiaojiu's head immediately "buzzed".
People who have the ability to cover all two markets in the county, aren't they the real "land snakes"?
If this old man Li is a reasonable person, he may be able to buy the tiger at a low price, and they can earn some money, but if this old man Li is an unreasonable scoundrel, their tiger may really have to be given away in vain.
Thinking of this Fu Xiaojiu, I feel distressed, but the matter has come to this point, they have all arrived at the door of the house, and Fu Xiaojiu can't care about being distressed, as long as they can go home safely, it will be lucky to get some more silver.
Wan Pozi and others also understood that they really fell into the hands of the "land snake".
Feng Zhongjun is completely out of action at this time, if he comes alone, it would be better to say, he can fight with these people regardless of anything, but among them, except for him, no one can fight with others, he can't take the lives of his parents and relatives for a tiger.
Feng Zhongjun was so aggrieved that he clenched his fists stiffly, and kept telling himself to be patient and not impulsive.
Under the leadership of He Huzi, several people finally walked into the gate of Li Mansion.
This Li Mansion is really different from other rich households, as soon as others enter the door, they are beautifully carved stone screens, and around the stone screens is an elegant courtyard full of greenery, in which birds and flowers are fragrant, and they are purple and red.
There is also a stone screen at the door of Lifu, but the stone screen is not carved with any auspicious patterns, but a tiger with a sideways face standing on the cliff roaring into the distance!
Fu Xiaojiu's nerves tightened, and he secretly prayed that Master Li would not be too unreasonable.
Thanks to the rich Xiaojiu, she is still a fat girl, although she is a little beautiful and not a beauty, she doesn't have to worry about being robbed by others.
Just when Fu Xiaojiu was thinking nonsense, they had already bypassed the stone screen and came to the first courtyard.
This is more appropriate to call it a sand field than a yard.
Eighteen kinds of weapons were placed on the left and right sides of the courtyard, which emitted a dazzling cold light in the sun.
There were also dozens of strong men who practiced martial arts hard in the courtyard, and seeing this kind of scene, Wan Pozi and the Wang family couldn't help but shudder.
Feng Zhongjun was also stunned, but he quickly liked the atmosphere.
Since he was a child, he likes knives, guns and sticks, and likes to practice martial arts, but his family conditions do not allow it, so he can only grope for his own blind boxing.
Feng Zhongjun's eyes couldn't take his eyes off a little, he really wanted to be one of them.
The main reason why Feng Zhongjun did not meet was because the Chen Dynasty was too peaceful in recent years, and there was no time for war, so the army did not recruit soldiers.
Feng Zhongjun's appearance also attracted the attention of these strong men who practiced martial arts, they could see that he was a practitioner, and then saw the tiger on the ox cart, some admired Feng Zhongjun, and some doubted his ability.
Fu Xiaojiu really didn't expect that she would encounter such an exciting thing when she came to the county for the first time, and she was directly invited to her home for tea by the "head snake".
He Huzi took them all to the hall, even the coachman of the ox cart was brought in, and Fu Xiaojiu and the others were even more worried about the tiger, for fear that the tiger would be pulled away.
They did come for tea.
As soon as they sat down for a while, a maid served them tea, but they didn't see the master of the house, Master Li.
He Huzi stood on the edge of the main seat and said to them: "Everyone, don't be impatient, my lord is busy with affairs, and he will come later." ”
Everyone just smiled and nodded, and no one dared to speak easily.
Seeing that after drinking a cup of tea, Fu Xiaojiu's hands and feet were cold, and Master Li, the owner of the Li Mansion, appeared.
"Our lord is here!"
He Huzi greeted the door with a respectful face, and everyone immediately stood up nervously.
Is he Master Li?
Li Dalong is in his early thirties, although his figure is not very strong, but he is sturdy and straight, he is wearing a lake-blue satin gown, which looks like a Sven person's dress, but the temperament on his body betrays him.
The two thick black eyebrows on his angular face were slightly raised, a pair of eagle-like eyes were full of cold murderous aura, a finger-long scar on his nose that was as tall as a knife, and his closed lips were slightly purple, revealing a fierce force.
Li Dalong's appearance also surprised others, no one expected him to be so young.
A "big brother" like him, who is dressed as Sven but has a rough temperament, Fu Xiaojiu has seen a lot of them before, and she has no good impression of this kind of person.
Fu Xiaojiu felt that Li Dalong still lacked a round bracelet in his hand, and a string of gold chains around his neck that flashed blinding eyes.
"This is our family's master." He Huzi came to Li Dalong's side with a smirk on his face and said to everyone.
"I've seen Master Li." Everyone said respectfully in unison.
Li Dalong's gaze quickly swept over Fu Xiaojiu and the others, and after he glanced at Fu Xiaojiu emphatically, his gaze fell on Feng Zhongjun.
"That big worm was killed by an arrow from you?" Li Dalong's voice was cold, and he asked suspiciously.
Feng Zhongjun replied calmly: "That's right, it's the big worm I shot to death." ”
"Go and bring the bow and arrows." Li Dalong said directly to He Huzi.
"Yes!" He Huzi is gone.
"I have a bow and arrows." Feng Zhongjun said.
"With my bow and arrows." After Li Dalong finished speaking domineeringly, he took a few steps and sat on the main seat.
Fu Xiaojiu and the others couldn't help but worry, although Feng Zhongjun's archery skills were powerful, but it was just luck to shoot a big insect with an arrow.
Feng Zhongjun is also worried about his archery skills now, for fear of being embarrassed here.
He Huzi quickly went to the courtyard to bring the bow and arrows, and after Feng Zhongjun took the bow and arrows, he immediately saw how delicate the bow and arrows were.
Li Dalong picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to He Huzi: "You stand in the courtyard and put this teacup on top of your head." ”
"Yes." He Huzi actually didn't even think about it, and walked out with the cup.
Everyone was stunned.
Li Dalong then said to Feng Zhongjun: "You are standing at the door, if you hit the cup on He Huzi's head with an arrow, I will buy you tiger for six hundred taels of silver." ”
"Six hundred taels?"
Everyone was shocked by the sky-high price.
But the shock was followed by more horror.
Who can guarantee that Feng Zhongjun will hit the teacup with one arrow? If he misses an arrow and hits He Huzi, let alone silver, I'm afraid he will have to give an account for his life.
Feng Zhongjun clenched his bow and arrows, looked at Li Dalong with a solemn expression and asked, "What if I can't shoot?" ”
Li Dalong stared at Feng Zhongjun, and suddenly hooked his lips, revealing a grim sneer.
"If you can't shoot the teacup above his head, leave the tiger behind and get out of the city at once!"
