Chapter 19: The Four Thieves of Wine and Wealth
"I'm not sure that the silver is hidden in Fengle County, but clues can be found here."
"And what clues did you find? Six years ago, we were swept away by the thousand-faced Langjun, chased and killed by the imperial court, and fled to Mobei. ”
"Isn't the peony girl who doesn't want the 100,000 taels of silver, if she doesn't want it, the dance you danced in the county office yesterday was for the ghosts?"
Speaking of this, Green Peony became angry and said angrily: "That Lu Qianhu is simply a stone, oil and salt do not enter, which literati and ink writers, officials, and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou are not allowed to give me Green Peony a little face, he is good, I tried my best, he didn't raise his eyelids, that's it, let a boy insult me, this shame I will sooner or later get it back with interest!" ”
Hearing her say, 'The next boy', Wu Dayong guessed that the person must be Zhu Laoer, smiled and said: "You have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, the next kid next to Lu Yan is his henchman, he knows no less than Lu Yan!" But in my opinion, this person is not easy to provoke, you should stay away from him in the future! ”
The merchant said, "Since Brother Wu has summoned us here, there must be some arrangement!" ”
"I can't talk about the arrangement, now Jinyiwei is investigating the theft of military salaries, let's be restless, I got acquainted with Lu Yan today, and I am going to infiltrate Jinyiwei to find out the situation, and I will notify you in time as soon as there is any news!" Let's give him a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, let Jinyiwei go to play the striker, and let's take advantage of the fisherman! ”
"Humph! What you said is light, you don't want to think about who Lu Yan's father is? I'm afraid that before we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, he has already been caught by him, and the four of us almost died under Lu Chai's men back then, I heard that Lu Yan's kung fu is not under his father! Green Peony said.
"So let's act as low-key as possible, don't act rashly, and let me arrange everything!"
"Don't do it again this time like six years ago, you didn't lose your strength to provoke yourself, but made a wedding dress for others! Let's take it easy! If it accidentally falls into the hands of Jinyiwei, we all know what kind of place the edict is! The merchant said.
"I called you here this time, not just for the 100,000 taels of military salary, this case is somewhat similar to the case six years ago, I suspect that it is still the handiwork of a thousand-faced Langjun, let's not talk about whether you want silver, our 'wine and wealth' four people have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has planted such a big heel, how can we not ask for this face?"
Hearing the name of Thousand-Faced Langjun, the two of them gritted their teeth for a while and stopped talking, although they didn't want to provoke Jinyiwei, but they really hated Thousand-faced Langjun and gritted their teeth and wanted to eat him alive with a thousand knives!
Six years ago, there was a guy known as the Thousand-faced Langjun who fooled them into robbing them of military salaries, and assured them that everything was arranged, and they only needed to make a move to get into the bag, and the silver would be divided equally after the fact.
But after they arrived and killed all the officers and soldiers who escorted the military pay, they found that the boxes were empty, and the silver had long been gone, and then the thousand-faced Langjun disappeared, and the four of them began to be pursued by the famous Jiangnan Hunt Lu, and they fled extremely embarrassed, Lu Chase The unlucky guy didn't know who he provoked, and the death was unknown, they thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect to kill a Shanyang Zhixian Zuo Xian halfway, that Zuo Xian was more difficult to deal with than Lu Chai, as if he had already known their whereabouts. They didn't even have time to take a breath after them, and in the end, the four of them had to flee to Mobei and hide for two years before the matter subsided!
Later, no matter how they checked, they could no longer find a trace of the thousand-faced Langjun, this thousand-faced Langjun really seemed to have evaporated from the world!
There was silence in the room for a while, and Wu Dayong said with a sneer: "You two shouldn't have been frightened by that incident six years ago, right?" If this is the case, our 'wine and wealth' will be disbanded, and in the future, we will each go our own way to make a fortune, forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and never get along with each other! ”
Green Peony slapped the table and scolded: "You were scared out of your guts!" ”
The businessman didn't have the big Wu method, and he sneered and said: "Brother Wu, we all know that you love money, but you can't gamble with your brother's life, this case is related to the thousand-faced Langjun is just your words, you don't have any evidence, you just want us to take our lives to play with you, your wishful thinking is too loud, right?" ”
"What evidence do you need for this, then Lu Yan is Lu Chai's son, he came to investigate this case, it was simply for Lu Chai's death six years ago, I believe that with the ability of Jinyi Wei Qianhu Blood Yama, he will definitely be able to find out that Thousand-faced Langjun, don't you want to know who the Thousand-faced Langjun who made us a scaperoam six years ago is?"
"If he goes to the case six years ago, shouldn't the four of us hide far away?"
"It's not that you haven't heard of the methods of the Blood Yama, just blindly hiding like a turtle with a shrunken head, you can't hide from the fifteenth year of the first year, the most dangerous place in the world is the safest, only if we understand all the movements of Lu Yan, can we find the military salary one step ahead of him, and the thousand-faced Langjun! Besides, anyway, it's me Wu Da who is going to play the striker, you just hide behind your back and sit and reap the profits, just don't drop the chain at a critical time, I'll go, but I'll send my life to Lu Yan's embroidered spring knife, but if I show a trace of horses' feet, my life will be confessed! ”
When he said this, Green Peony's face softened a little, thinking about it, Wu Da used Jinyiwei to go deep into the tiger's den, and they were indeed suspected of reaping the benefits!
Seeing that the green peony and the merchant stopped talking, Wu Dayong knew that he was not in vain, "Okay, I'll say it all, think about it, it's not appropriate to talk more at this time, so as not to be suspected, now there are Jinyiwei's eyeliner everywhere in Fengle County, I will leave first!" After speaking, Wu Dayong left, and before going out, he turned around and said, "Remember, don't act rashly without my news!" ”
After Wu Dayong left, the green-eyed bat that landed on the edge of the window also flew away!
"Boss Xiao, what do you think about this matter? I think Wu Dayong is right, anyway, he is in danger, let's just sit and reap the profits! Green Peony asked, looking at the merchant in front of him.
The merchant took a sip from the teacup on the table, and shook his head slowly, "I can't see it!" The four of us count him as many as he has, who knows what he is calculating! The four of us have worked together for many years, what kind of character does he have, and he is anxious with you when he divides the silver, he is the kind of person who sacrifices himself? If you really do, you can't be a Jiangyang thief! ”
"So what is he hiding from us?"
The merchant glanced at his lips, "I can't say, but he has always been unprofitable!" ”
Green Peony pulled the handkerchief in his hand, gritted his teeth, and showed a hint of calculation in his eyes, at this time, the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard came over and knocked on the door, and said: "Boss Xiao, the guests downstairs are almost there, and they are all waiting for the green peony girl, you see let the green peony girl go out to dance, she is Boss Xiao tonight!" ”
Green Peony put away the cruelty on her face and said, "Boss Xiao, you sit down first, and the slave family will come when they go!" So he went out with the bustard.
