Chapter 17 Fierce Knocking on the Bamboo Pole and Encountering Interception
Since the prefect's yamen came out, Xu Hui visited Yan's mansion as usual, visited Yan Ru, and the two will get engaged next month, and it is inconvenient to get along for a long time at this time, so after saying a few words in a hurry, Xu Hui returned to Xu's daily chemical store to check the business situation in the store.
The next day, Xu Hui took Liu Er and Dai Qin to buy a house in the north of the city. At this time, Xu Hui was wealthy, and the house he purchased was a five-entry house, and there was a garden behind the courtyard, which led water through the garden, and was full of flowers and trees, and cost Xu Hui 3,500 taels of silver. The house is not old, it seems that someone has always taken care of it, and you can move in with your bag, as for the matter of recruiting family servants and servants, you have your own officials to worry about.
In the evening, Xu Hui went out without anyone, and tonight he was going to be the one who knocked on the bamboo. Xu Hui rode to Feng's mansion on horseback, handed over the post, and after a while, he was led to the main hall of the mansion by his subordinates, and Feng Daguan got up to greet him: "Lord Xu, the poetry will be goodbye, I haven't seen it for several months, my lord is talented, and I really admire it." ”
This Feng Daguan is worthy of being a businessman, and he smiles when he meets people, and the kindness on his face makes you not see any flaws.
Xu Hui took out an object from his waist, handed it to Feng Daguan, and said with a smile: "Feng Daguan, if you disturb the adults in the middle of the night, please take a look at this thing, can you do it?" ”
"This, this is the jade pendant of Xiaoer Feng Hong, I don't know where Lord Xu found it?" Feng Chu recognized at a glance that this was Feng Hong's thing.
"Found? It can be regarded as this, this was found at Liu Guangxiao, the one-eyed tiger in Fenglong Mountain. Xu Hui sneered.
"This, this, impossible, how could my son's things fall into the bandits?" Feng Chu's face changed drastically, thinking to himself, how could this matter leave such a flaw?
"Feng Daguan, I came late at night alone, will I still lie to you?" Xu Hui said angrily.
"Lord Xu, don't worry", Feng Chu hurriedly said, and said to the next person: "Don't go and ask San Lang yet, let him come quickly." As he spoke, he bit "hurry up" very hard. Xu Hui knew what he meant, and was just about to get up, but it was a coincidence that Feng Hong came back from outside, full of alcohol, and came to the hall to salute Feng Chu regardless of the eyes of his family. When he turned around and saw Xu Hui, his eyes were red: "What are you doing here?" ”
Feng Chu hurriedly got up and pretended to be angry: "San Lang, Lord Xu is a distinguished guest in the mansion, what kind of system are you, why don't you wash your face, sober up and drink, and then come to see Lord Xu." After that, he glanced at Feng Honglian.
"Cut, shitty adult, just a martial artist." Feng Hong grinned.
"Okay, Brother Yongcai, please take a look at this martial artist here, do you know the objects in your father's hands?" Xu Hui said with a smile.
Feng Hong looked at Xu Hui's hand, and his father was holding his own jade pendant in his hand, and he was suddenly shocked, and the wine also woke up for eight points.
"Brother Yongcai, according to the confession of the bandit captive, this jade pendant was given by the person who bought Liu Guangxiao to slaughter my Xujiabao, and your father has just said that it is your portable jade pendant. What a bold Feng Hong, although I have a personal grudge with you, but the hatred is not so much, you actually colluded with bandits and wanted to slaughter officials and people, tomorrow I will be the envoy of Ming Li, and his old man was also present at that time, so he couldn't be clearer. Xu Hui slapped the table, stood up and scolded.
Feng Hong was already stupid on the spot at this time, unable to speak with his mouth open, and suddenly "pounced", and his whole body collapsed to the ground. And Feng Chu has seen strong winds and waves after all, at this time, he heard that Xu Hui was only targeting Feng Hong, and did not dig out the Feng family, knowing that Xu Hui would definitely not report to the government as he said, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of this, but it seems that he has to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster today.
"Lord Xu, Xiao'er was also confused for a while, and after doing such a thing, my Feng family is willing to pay money to make up for the losses of your adults and the Xu Jiabao brothers, you can set the number." Feng Chu got up and said.
"The Feng family is very generous, and it is already five thousand taels of gold to Liu Guangxiao, which is really a generous amount. But since you are already like this to the bandits, you can't be stingy with your adults and my Xu Jiabao blind date. So let's go ten thousand taels of gold, and I'll turn it over. ”
"This 10,000 taels of gold, although my Feng family has a lot of talent, I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare it for a while, and I hope that Lord Xu will give a few days, and the old man will definitely deliver the first thousand to your mansion." Xu Hui said again and again.
"Just two days, I want to see the gold in two days, or I'll wait for the envoy Li Zhizhi to summon me." Xu Hui left without looking back.
At this time, Feng Hong reacted and shouted at the door: "Xu Hui, you deceive people too much, I don't have an ellipsis", before he could finish speaking, Feng Chu stepped forward and came up with a big mouth. The words in his mouth implied boundless anger: "You fool who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, how can you leave such serious evidence? ”
"Then Liu Guangxiao likes the child's jade pendant, so the child gave it to him, and told Liu Guangxiao not to let Xu Hui die too happily." Feng Hong explained. He was greeted by another big mouth, and this time due to excessive force, Feng Hong was beaten out of two teeth.
Not to mention Feng Chu's godson over there, but seeing Xu Hui walk out of the gate of Feng Mansion here, humming a song all the way to the newly bought Xu Mansion, passing by a low house, Xu Hui suddenly realized that someone was following him. Xu Hui hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed forward, and the people behind him also quickened his pace at the same time, and walked about a hundred steps, only to see a man in black flash out of the alley in front of him, "It's broken, it's blocked." Xu Hui's heart sank.
Looking up at the sky, the moon was faintly covered by dark clouds, and a sentence came out of this guy's heart: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is a good time to kill." However, thinking that the person who was killed might be himself, Xu Hui couldn't help but cheer up.
"Who are the two of you? Why are you blocking my way here? Xu Hui asked loudly.
"The one who killed you." The two of them said simply, and then raised the short sword and rushed towards Xu Hui, Xu Hui was defenseless, and could only barely parry, if it was to fight immediately, Xu Hui's spear was easy to kill these two people. However, these two people specialize in assassination, taking the enemy's life between square inches, which is exactly what Xu Hui is not good at.
Xu Hui fought and retreated, until he reached a dead end, and he could no longer take half a step back. Xu Hui saw a pile of green bricks left over from the wall on the side, so he picked up two bricks with both hands and defended against the two.
The two saw that Xu Hui was cornered, his eyes were full of ridicule, one of them raised his sword and stabbed Xu Hui in the heart, Xu Hui flashed violently, and a brick slapped on the person's shoulder, and suddenly the green brick shattered, the man snorted and retreated.
Seeing this, the other person said, "Second brother, let's get him together, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
"Yes, big brother." So the two continued to attack Xu Hui more fiercely.
Xu Hui gradually found it difficult to persevere, and there were a few more sword wounds on his body, although he did not hurt his muscles and bones, the taste was uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Why don't you cross over once, and hang in the hands of these two people who don't even know their names?" It's really sad. ”
At this moment, a big man suddenly flashed out at the mouth of the alley, who came two meters tall and burly, not who Dai Qin was, and there were more than a dozen people who followed Dai Qin, who was the new nurse of the Xu Mansion. Xu Hui's heart was suddenly overjoyed.
"Wu Na thief, dare to hurt my master, take your life." Dai Qin rushed forward with two fists, and the family members behind him also rushed forward with their own weapons.
Seeing that they couldn't kill Xu Hui, the two assassins glanced at each other, jumped on the house and disappeared into the night.
