Section 21 Xiaobao's stunt, money can make the ghost grind

The Heaven and Earth Society spans more than a dozen provinces, with a total of ten halls, which are divided into five rooms and five halls in the front and five rooms and five halls in the back. The first five rooms are Lotus Hall, Hongshun Hall, Jiahou Hall, Shentai Hall, and Honghua Hall, while the last five rooms are Aoki Hall, Chihuo Hall, Xijin Hall, Xuanshui Hall, and Loess Hall. Now the chief helmsman Chen Jinnan and the incense masters of the ten rooms are gathered in this small manor, which is Chen Jinnan's intention, which is to let the newly appointed deputy helmsman Zheng Kezang get familiar with the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Society as soon as possible, and at the same time let these ten incense masters get to know Zheng Kezang.

After breakfast, the chief helmsman Chen Jinnan, the deputy helmsman Zheng Kezang, the new Aoki Hall incense master Wei Xiaobao, and the other nine hall incense owners gathered in the hall to discuss the matter. Aoki Hall is the longest of the last five halls, ranking sixth among the ten halls of the Heaven and Earth Society, so Wei Xiaobao's seat is the first on the right.

Chen Jinnan pointed to an empty chair in the center directly above and introduced to Wei Xiaobao: "This is the seat of the third prince of Zhu. He pointed to another empty chair on his side and said, "This is the seat of the prince, the prince is the son of the national surname Ye, and now the king of Yanping County." Our heaven and earth will gather, even if the third prince Zhu and the prince are not there, they always have empty seats to show respect. After the introduction, he officially entered the topic and said: "Brothers, let's talk about the situation in each province first. ”

In the first five rooms, Changfang Lotus Hall is responsible for FJ, the second room Hong Shuntang is responsible for GD, the third room is responsible for the back hall of the family, the fourth room is responsible for GX, the fourth room is responsible for Shentaitang, the fifth room is responsible for HNHB, the fifth room Honghua Hall is responsible for ZJ, the latter five rooms, the Changfang Aoki Hall, should be in charge of JS, but the former Yin Xiangzhu transferred the hall to Xuzhou, Jiangbei, and gradually entered SD Zhili, and finally extended to the capital, the second room Chihuo Hall is responsible for GZ, the third room Xijin Hall is responsible for SC, the fourth room Xuanshui Hall is responsible for YN, and the fifth room Loess Hall is responsible for Zhongzhou HN Speaking of which, the Heaven and Earth Society was after Zheng Chenggong retreated to Taiwan, Composed and established by his old department, so the original main force was in FJ, so the strength of Lotus Hall is the strongest, it is for the long house, followed by Liangguang and Lianghu, and then ZJJS First, Cai Dezhong, the owner of Lotus Hall, talked about the situation of the Heaven and Earth Association in FJ, followed by Fang Dahong, the owner of Hongshun Hall, told about the situation of GD, and then Ma Chaoxing, the owner of the incense of the back hall, Hu Dedi, the owner of the incense of the Sentaitang, and Li Shikai, the owner of the Honghua Hall, respectively told about the situation of GXHNHB and ZJ. When it was Aokitang's turn, Wei Xiaobao was stuck, and he didn't know what to say. Not to mention that he has just taken office and still doesn't understand the situation, even if he is allowed to understand the situation, I'm afraid he will be running the train with his mouth full and not getting to the point.

As a last resort, Zheng Kezang relieved Wei Xiaobao from the siege, and he had the strong intelligence ability of the Jinyi Wei Eagle Guard, even if he had just come to the capital for a few days, but when it came to the situation of Aokitang in the capital, he was still the leader, which made everyone admire it greatly. Finally, Zheng Kezang said: "A few days ago, the brothers bravely attacked Prince Kang's mansion, and Wei Xiaobao, the incense master of our new Aoki Hall, bowed to avenge Lord Yin Xiang. Aokitang did this thing vigorously, and it would definitely make the Tartars of the Qing court tremble. It's just that after this incident, the Tartars are bound to step up their vigilance in a short period of time, so we have to be more careful in our actions in the future. The crowd said yes.

After that, the two incense owners of Chihuo Hall and Xijin Hall respectively told about the situation of GZSC. When it was the turn of Lin Yongchao, the incense master of Xuanshui Hall, to talk about the situation of YN, he looked passionate and cursed repeatedly: "Wu Sangui, a dog traitor, is against us everywhere, from last year to this year, it has only been less than ten months, and seventy-nine brothers have died in the hands of this bastard, Lao Tzu and this dog thief are not together!" I also sent people to assassinate me three times, but there were so many capable people around that dog traitor that they all lost their hands......" he said, and pointed to his left arm hanging on his head and neck, and said hatefully: "Last month, Lao Tzu also broke an arm, this dog thief has done a lot of evil, and one day, let his whole family give our heaven and earth will be cut into meat sauce." ”

Speaking of Wu Sangui, everyone in the hall was angry and cursed. At this moment, Wei Xiaobao is energetic, don't do anything to him, when it comes to scolding, he is really a big expert, those foul words in his mouth are full of tricks, and they are not the same, and the other nine incense masters are not his opponents. The nine incense masters listened happily and relieved their hatred, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of Wei Xiaobao in their hearts, and initially recognized him.

It was Chen Jinnan who stopped this scolding battle, shook his hand and said: "Enough, enough!" Thousands of people in the world are scolding Wu Sangui, but this guy is not the king of Pingxi who is his good. Scolding can't kill him, and stabbing is not a good way. ”

Zheng Kezang said: "Even if we really kill Wu Sangui, it won't be of much benefit to the overall situation. In my opinion, if we can provoke the Qing court and Wu Sangui to eat dog, this is the most beneficial to our plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Oh?" Everyone thought about it carefully, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and Yao Bida, the incense master of the Loess Hall, was the most anxious, and asked, "I don't know what the deputy helmsman has?" ”

Zheng Kezang said with a smile: "Gao Jian didn't dare to be, I was just thinking, this little emperor of the Qing court, since he can design to get rid of Aobai, naturally he can't tolerate him Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui is not a good thing, very ambitious, as long as at the right time, let's add a fire to it, we will let them eat the dog's hair, and we can also sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Takami! This is much better than directly killing Wu Sangui, a dog thief......" Everyone was even more convinced of Zheng Kezang.

Chen Jinnan smiled: "Okay, then according to the opinion of the eldest prince." Brother Yongchao, after returning to YN, let the brothers be patient for the time being, and let Wu Sangui be proud for a while. "Yes." Lin Yongchao had nothing to do, and nodded his head.

Wu Sangui's matter has been decided, Yao Bida introduced the situation of the Loess Hall in HN, and after everyone discussed the development plan of the next Heaven and Earth Society, they dispersed. And Chen Jinnan left Wei Xiaobao behind and explained how to contact Xu Tianchuan, the connector of Aoki Hall, after he returned to the palace. As for whether Wei Xiaobao will be suspected by Kangxi after returning to the palace, Zheng Kezang has already had a countermeasure, that is: bury the head of Aobai in the vegetable garden behind, and then let Wei Xiaobao pretend to be designed to escape back, and finally bring people to search, and after the head of Aobai is found, he can push everything on the party members of Aobai, so that Kangxi will no longer suspect Wei Xiaobao.

Sure enough, on the second day after Wei Xiaobao returned to the palace, he went and returned, accompanied by Suo Etu and 3,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, the people of the Heaven and Earth Association in the manor had already been empty. Suo Etu sent troops to search the entire manor, not only in the back garden to find the head of Aobai, but also found a piece of spirit plaque with the words "Daqing Shaobao first-class super martial arts Gong Ao Baidaren's spiritual position", as well as several couplets of condolences for Aobai, which were naturally arranged by Zheng Kezang. And after Wei Xiaobao returned to the capital with these, he made another great contribution, and was praised by Kangxi very much.

Three days later, Wei Xiaobao left the palace on the pretext of visiting the Ao Bai Yu Party, found Xu Tianchuan in the Tianshuijing Hutong of Dongcheng, and under his leadership, came to one of Aokitang's secret strongholds in the capital. Here, Zheng Kezang is waiting for his arrival. As for Chen Jinnan, now that Aoki Hall has Zheng Kezang in charge, he can naturally rest assured that as early as two days, he left with the other nine hall masters. As the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, his affairs are still very busy.

"Where's Master?" Wei Xiaobao didn't see Chen Jinnan, and his disappointment was overflowing.

Zheng Kezang quipped: "What? With my big brother here, isn't it okay? The chief helmsman was busy with business and went south. However, before leaving, the chief helmsman also told me to watch you practice. ”

"Huh?" As soon as he heard about practicing martial arts, Wei Xiaobao's face collapsed even more, he really couldn't bear this hardship, he couldn't stand this sin. If he is willing to be a little more diligent, why wait until now, Hai Dafu can do whatever he wants, it is enough for him to be useful.

Zheng Kezang didn't care about him, took out a thin booklet from the table at hand, and said: "This is the basic internal strength left by the chief helmsman, you work hard every day, and you must not slack off." ”

"Yes, I see." Wei Xiaobao took it listlessly, and opened the booklet, each page was painted with a portrait, as well as the mental formula and the practice line. This is completely a book of heaven for Wei Xiaobao, it recognizes Wei Xiaobao, and Wei Xiaobao really doesn't recognize it at all. Subsequently, it took Zheng Kezang more than two hours to complete the teaching of this set of internal skills, and Wei Xiaobao could barely meditate and exercise skills.

"Poof......" But not long after meditating, Wei Xiaobao spurted out a mouthful of blood. Zheng Kezang was slightly stunned, thought of something, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Wei Xiaobao's pulse, and asked, "What's going on?" Xiaobao, are you poisoned? ”。 Wei Xiaobao looked at Zheng Kezang pitifully and said, "Yes, Brother Zheng, is there any salvation?" With a "wow" sound, he cried out, and under the comfort of Zheng Kezang's words, he sobbed and told Hai Dafu about poisoning the soup.

"Alright, Xiaobao, don't cry. Although this poison is a little troublesome, it still can't bother me. Zheng Kezang laughed, withdrew his pulse-riding hand, led Wei Xiaobao to a bedroom, and ordered him to lie on the bed, pressing the "Jizhong acupoint" on his chest with his left hand, and pressing the "big vertebral acupoint" on his back with his right hand. Obviously, being tormented by this poison, Wei Xiaobao should not have slept for a long time.

When Wei Xiaobao woke up, it was already evening, and Zheng Kezang, Guan Anji, Xuan Zhen Daoren, Xu Tianchuan and other backbones of Aoki Hall were having dinner in the front hall. As soon as he saw Zheng Kezang, Wei Xiaobao couldn't wait to shout: "Brother Zheng, has my poison been cured?" ”

Zheng Kezang smiled: "It's solved." Xiaobao, come, let's go back to the palace after dinner. ”

"Great!" The poison that had plagued him for a long time was finally solved, Wei Xiaobao had a big heart, his appetite was great, he pounced on the table, and began to gobble up, and the four dishes and one soup on the table were quickly swept away by him alone. Speaking of which, this Aokitang is really poor enough, although Zheng Kezang is rich, but he didn't take it out immediately, first, when he first arrived in your place, Zheng Kezang was not good at acting too exaggerated, and it was easy to leave a bad impression; These two comes, the big money owner is in front of him, why does Zheng Kezang have to pay out of his own pocket.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Zheng Kezang who stopped chopsticks, scratched his head embarrassedly, and then his eyes lit up, and he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, which were all thousands of taels in size, handed them to Zheng Kezang, and said: "Brother Zheng, you can collect these silver tickets first, and also improve the food for the brothers in the hall." Zheng Kezang was not polite to him, and handed the silver ticket to Guan Anji casually, and quipped: "I didn't expect it, Xiaobao, you are still a rich man, tell me, where did you get so much money?" Wei Xiaobao smiled evilly: "It's nothing, some time ago, the little emperor sent me to raid Aobai's house, and Suo Etu and I left some, hehe...... Brother Zheng, you don't have to be polite, even if the flowers are gone, I still have them. Zheng Kezang smiled: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you, the rich man." ”

After everyone had dinner, it was time for Wei Xiaobao to return to the palace, and before leaving, Zheng Kezang repeatedly advised: "The palace is not as good as the outside, I can't take care of it even if I want to, Xiaobao, you should be more careful when you go back and protect yourself." "I see, Brother Zheng." No one has ever cared so much about him, Wei Xiaobao's heart was full of emotion, but he didn't want to show it, and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Zheng, I am very depressed in the palace, when will you take me to the rivers and lakes." Zheng Kezang smiled and asked, "Wandering the rivers and lakes?" This river and lake is not so easy to navigate, there are dangers everywhere, and if you don't have a good martial arts, how can you follow me to the rivers and lakes? "Uh......" Wei Xiaobao was slightly stunned, and promised again and again: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely practice hard." Even he didn't believe what he said. Subsequently, after Zheng Kezang said a few more words, Wei Xiaobao returned to the palace.

Since the day of the fight, Zheng Kezang has stayed in the secret stronghold of Qingmu Hall in the capital, in addition to helping Wei Xiaobao deal with some affairs in the hall, it is to pay close attention to practice, and strive to become one of the top masters in the rivers and lakes as soon as possible. And Wei Xiaobao will come here every once in a while, and his relationship with Zheng Kezang is getting deeper and deeper. Wei Xiaobao is a righteous person, every time he comes, he will bring a lot of good things, or gold and silver treasures, or food and clothing, which makes the little day of the Aoki Tang brothers get better all of a sudden, and the tight hard days of the past are gone. This made Aoki Hall full of praise and gratitude to Wei Xiaobao up and down, and gradually began to identify with him as the owner of incense. This is the charm of money, money can make the devil grind, it is really an eternal truth!

As for Zheng Kezang's concern that Aoki Hall was divided into two factions, it was gradually improved under Wei Xiaobao's strong money offensive. After all, life is better, and the big guys can do some big things to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so why fight for the position of the incense lord who is getting lower and less likely?
