Chapter 14: Three Drums

The golden leopard dragged the whip, and was pinched in the hand of the housekeeper, and he couldn't pull it for half a minute. If it were in normal times, he would definitely be able to do the kung fu of this housekeeper, and it would never be a fuel-efficient lamp. But now that a few glasses of wine have been swallowed and insulted again, the evil fire in my heart has come up all at once.

In this troubled world, the military master must not be offended, and now that he is fighting, even if he knows how many dignitaries and nobles, it is not as valuable as a gun in someone's hand. But the housekeeper of the February Red family was so deceitful, he couldn't swallow this breath, and the money leopard dragged the whip with one hand, and the other hand had already touched his short knife from under the coat of the horse. He said viciously: "Offended, since you are the housekeeper of the Red Mansion, why don't you send us a few more steps, we are a little too drunk to find the way." ”

The subordinates beside him watched the movements of the leopard, and knew that the boss had a murderous intention, and they were all gloomy, and they all put their hands under the coat, and the housekeeper saw that he didn't lose it, and immediately put down the whip with a smile, and apologized: "Don't hide it from the masters, I still have to go back to serve, so I let my little servant send you away, not slacking." ”

Saying that, Chen Pi walked out and made a gesture, and the housekeeper explained: "Send a few masters out of the city, the road is not in a hurry, walk towards the river, and let a few masters sober up." Remember that these are the masters who sent us to the theater, don't be lazy. After that, he hurriedly turned around and walked into the house, the money leopard was willing, and he was about to grab the housekeeper, and the little guy called Chen Pi stepped forward and blocked the money leopard: "Master, the night breeze is cold, let's go quickly." The housekeeper didn't hear the next sentence, and he had already returned to the hall.

Zhang Qishan was standing in front of the stage, thinking about what happened just now, the February family is all old people, followed by several generations, they are all relatives, and they are loyal to the February Red family, but they are also verbose. I just heard that the housekeeper came back and wanted him to urge Februaryhong, but I listened to the chain on the stage, Februaryhong was wearing casual clothes, and the makeup was not down, and she walked out.

"Rare guest, doesn't the Buddha like to listen to plays? Why did you remember to come to my pear orchard? Februaryhong gestured to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper stepped back. He looked at Zhang Qishan, his eyes were clear, but there was a faint strong majesty, and the people who went down to the ground could have such clean eyes, which still moved Zhang Qishan's heart.

"Something to ask for." Zhang Qishan told the truth, in front of smart people, any hesitation will make the other party on guard.

Februaryhong smiled, and Zhang Qishan also smiled secretly, he had something to ask for, and others didn't dare to agree casually. Changsha Jiumen has a huge force, whether the Japanese call or avoid, they will definitely be implicated, and if they come at such a time, they will definitely have nothing to do with these things, as long as they do it, none of them are trivial.

So without waiting for him to ask, he told him what happened at the train station in the morning, and Februaryhonghe. Then he said: "In this Changsha city, the second master is an expert in the shipments of the south and the north dynasties, so he came to ask for advice." ”

After listening, Februaryhong remained silent, looked at him silently and said, "That's all?" Buddha we have a good relationship, and we don't need to say it in two sentences. ”

Zhang Qishan remembered that Februaryhong told him that when he first met him, a northerner, Februaryhong knew that there were too many stories behind him, and he made friends because people with stories were more interesting, and they were not bad people. That sentence touched him very much. So he said half a sentence because the story behind the thimble may not be what the other party wants to mention. Since Februaryhong asked so much, I also thought about it a lot.

As he spoke, he tossed the thimble to February Red. Februaryhong raised her eyes and looked at it, her brows furrowed, she used her hanging sleeves to separate the back of her hand, flicked her fingers, and flicked the thimble back, and accurately hit Zhang Qishan, Zhang Qishan raised her hand to catch it. Februaryhong said: "Buddha, you know that I haven't touched anything underground for a long time, and I can't help with this." ”

"This thing was found in the coffin and belonged to the Hong family, and the plate ordered by the Japanese is likely to be related to the Hong family." Zhang Qishan said: "Isn't the second master interested? As far as I know, the Hong family rarely misses, this thing is left in the coffin, indicating that someone has folded in that tomb in modern times, the second master, the two generations of masters, it is impossible not to know, as long as there are one or two clues, it will not be clueless, now that the Japanese are approaching, this kind of thing may hinder the overall situation, ask for advice. ”

Februaryhong looked at the thimble in Zhang Qishan's hand and fell silent. "My family's family affairs, I'm afraid I can't help the Buddha much. If I help, I will definitely talk to you. ”

At this time, the housekeeper beat three drums in the background, urging Februaryhong to step down. Februaryhong said lightly: "Buddha, my play is over, please go back." ”

After speaking, the majesty in his eyes softened a lot, as if he was pleading.

Zhang Qishan sighed inwardly, he had long heard that Erjiehong would no longer go to the ground for his wife, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected. At this time, he was a little sorry, it was not easy for a person in the Nine Gates to make such a determination, he was not an adult, but it was a bit too much.

He put the thimble on the table of the Eight Immortals on the side, and said: "This thing belongs to the Hong family, this thing belongs to the original owner, I will figure it out myself, if the second master changes his mind, you canβ€”β€”"

"I'm afraid I won't change my mind about going to the ground." Februaryhong said.

At this point, Zhang Qishan had to salute and turn away, and after walking two or three steps, Eryuehong suddenly said: "Buddha, I advise you, this matter is dangerous, don't act rashly." ”

Zhang Qishan turned his head and looked at Februaryhong's eyes, but Februaryhong didn't look at him, but looked at the thimble placed on the table.

The adjutant wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Zhang Qishan, he pressed the brim of his military hat and walked out of the pear orchard. Seeing Chen Pi coming back, he glanced at Zhang Qishan, and he didn't salute, so he went straight away. The housekeeper in the background shouted: "Why did you come back so soon, and someone sent it out?" ”

Back on the street, Zhang Qishan let the car follow behind, and threw an ocean to the beggars outside, wanting to walk by himself. Adjutant Zhang said, "The second master must know something." ”

"If it's a trivial matter, he has already told us what Februaryhong doesn't want to say, tsk, behind that car, I'm afraid it's really a big thing. I'm going to think about it. ”
