"What?" Gong Xichu asked in surprise, then got up and walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a person dressed as a shopkeeper who bowed to Gongxi Chu from afar, "I've seen Gongzi." ”

"Who are you? Who asked you to send me something? Gong Xichu asked directly.

"Xiao Ke's surname is Hu, and he is the shopkeeper of the county wine store, and these two boxes of things were entrusted by Wan's Commercial Bank to send them to me."

Mo Anxing whispered, "It's the old lady, and the old lady entrusted someone to send it." ”

Gongxi Chu also understood that his grandmother was born in the imperial merchant family, and the Wan family firm must have been inspired by his grandmother to send him something! It seems that the grandmother is still worried about herself, and for a while, Gong Xichu's heart was sour, sweet and aggrieved.

"Who's that, hurry up and bring the box in." Mo An led the two men to carry the box into the house.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hu gave another salute to Gongxi Chu, "Son, there is another sentence for me to convey to you." ”

Gongxi Chu stabilized his mind, "What words?" ”

"When you go out, don't wronged yourself!"

After a long while, Gongxi Chu said in a muffled voice: "Got it." ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Hu left with two guys, and when Gongxi Chu returned to the house, he saw Mo An circling around the two boxes.

"The master opened it and took a look, the things given by the old lady are not bad." Mo An jumped over and said with a dog's leg.

Gongxi Chu used the key given to him by the shopkeeper surnamed Hu to open the first box first, but it was a box full of clothes, brocade fox fur, black big coat, deerskin boots, and people who looked directly were dazzled.

The other box contained medicine, hemostasis, detoxification, bone grafting, swelling, and even hawthorn pills for digestion were packed in several bottles, in addition to these, there was a wooden box, but the wooden box contained a stack of silver tickets.

"The old lady is really worried about her master, and she has prepared so many medicines!" Mo An looked at the medicine bottle in the box and said happily: "It seems that when the old lady is discouraged, the old lady will help and say that the master will be able to return to Beijing in a while!" ”

"If you want to go back, go back yourself!" Gongxi Chu glanced at Mo Andao gloomily.

"Ah...... No, no, it's better to follow the master! Mo An knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stepped back and saw the cockroach hiding at the door and looking into the house.

"You, what are you looking at? Those things are also something that you can see as a beggar? Can you wear it? Mo An kicked the cockroach out of his breath.

The cockroach grinned and was not annoyed, "Master Mo, of course I shouldn't look at the things of nobles, but beggars don't necessarily have to be able to get dressed!" I have seen two beggars today wearing clothes that are no worse than those of the nobles! ”

"What are you talking nonsense? If you really wear such good clothes, why would you still ask for food? Mo An didn't believe it at all.

"Really!" The cockroach swore and said, "I saw it on the street today." The clothes of those two people have no patches at all, and they are still silk-faced! It should be a rich man, and he is magnificent, but he talks to a few beggars, and I look at it a few more times when I am curious, and then one of them glares at me and draws his sword to scare me! That sword is real, it's the same as Mo Yan's, and it makes my liver tremble when I look at it! ”

Mo An cut off, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, what do rich people do with beggars?" Alms are also directly thrown silver! ”

"But I saw ......"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to the fire!" Moan chased the cockroaches away.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Gong Xichu looked at the back of the cockroach leaving thoughtfully, hurriedly went to find Mo Yan, and whispered a few words.

Mo Yan's face was heavy, he changed his clothes directly and went to the street, and came back after less than an hour.

"Master!"

"How?" Gong Xichu straightened up and looked at the little guy who had just come back.

Mo Yan didn't care about taking a breath and said directly: "Master, no, I didn't see it, there is, there is." ”

Mo An was anxious when he listened, "You haven't seen it and you have it, is there one?" ”

"Yes, someone saw it." Mo Yan was so choked that his neck turned red, and he finally said it.

"Do you know where it came from? Where to go? Mo An asked anxiously.

"Jing, Beijing, accent." Mo Yan remembered that the shopkeeper who told him the news said that the two people had a Beijing accent.

Gong Xichu frowned and snorted, "From the capital! ”

Hearing that it was from the capital, Mo An said with some uneasiness: "Lord, master, how did the people from the capital come to this small county town?" And arrived with the things given by the old lady? Could it be someone sent by the old lady to protect her master? He didn't believe it.

Gong Xichu didn't speak, just looked at him like an idiot.

Mo An's face also changed, "Could it be...... No, he's the son of the world, and besides, the emperor has punished the master......"

"Scared?" Gong Xichu's expression remained unchanged, and he even raised his eyebrows and looked at himself with a panicked and a serious two little guys, "If I'm afraid of you, go back, I can write a letter to my grandmother." ”

"Subordinates, subordinates don't leave!" Mo Yan had a straight face.

Mo An also shook his head, he has been the master's little servant since he was a child, if he goes back to such a big earl's palace, he may not have his own place, and I am afraid that some people will have to use themselves as a punching bag, it is better to follow the master, although it is a little dangerous, but it is really good to treat himself. "Don't worry, the master doesn't leave, if there is really someone who doesn't have a long eye to trouble the master, the slave will definitely protect the master!"

"Really?" Gong Xichu was noncommittal, "If you don't leave, you can figure out who sent those two people and what they are doing, don't kill them in the end, and you will still be in the dark." ”

"Master, how are they going to trouble us? Assassination? Mo An's heart flickered.

Gongxi Chu was silent, his eyes fell on the box on the side, and his heart suddenly moved, and he turned around to explain, "Mo Yan, go and talk to Master Li...... Forget it, I'll say it myself. ”

Gongxi Chu arrived at the county office, and it didn't take long for him to see Li Wenhao in a while.

"How come Achu has time to come over today?" Li Wenhao was very curious that people who couldn't be invited on weekdays would take the initiative to come to him today.

"What? I can't come yet? Gongxi Chu glanced at him and his tone was not good.

Li Wenhao hurriedly smiled and reassured, "Yes, of course I can." If you want me to say Achu, don't be bored in that small house all day long, come and help me if you have nothing to do, now it's almost the New Year, and the county town is a little uneven, and the catch in the yamen is really not enough. ”

Gong Xichu pointed to his nose, "You let me be a catcher for you?" ”

"Uh......" Li Wenhao froze for a moment, and then said with a smile: "With Achu's skills, he naturally doesn't just catch fast, he has to be a head catcher." ”

"Humph! Don't think that if you don't know martial arts, I won't beat you! Gong Xichu gave him an angry look.

"Well, when I didn't say it." Yigong Xichu's impulsive and irritable temperament is really uncertain, Li Wenhao didn't want to be beaten, so he paused and asked him again, "Say, what are you doing here with me?" It's not going to be another lawsuit, is it? ”

Master Li was very impressed by Gongxi Chu's lawsuit against Hua Ronghua last time, and couldn't help but ask, "You ...... with that Lu Niangzi"

Gongxi Chu raised his head suddenly, stared at Master Li with a pair of dark eyes, and said disdainfully: "You are also the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the son of the scholar of the Wenhua Palace, isn't it good to worry so much about other people's married women?" ”

Li Wenhao's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What am I thinking about? It's not that you're a dignified general and a woman! However, you said that he kicked and injured you, where did the kick hurt? Why don't you dare to test the injury? At the end of the question, Master Li was genuinely curious.

Gongxi Chu choked, waved his hand, and pretended to be impatient: "I came to you for business, don't talk about those useless things." ”

The corners of Lord Li's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: Who is talking about uselessness!

Gong Xichu's upper body lowered a little, and the whole person moved closer to Li Wenhao, "You lend me those guards that Yuan Shuai gave you." ”

"What are you borrowing them for?" Li Wenhao's expression was dazed, and he felt that something was unusual.

After a pause, Gongxi Chu still told him what Mo Yan had discovered.

Li Wenhao stood up suddenly, "You mean that Prince Han sent someone to assassinate you?" ”

"It's not clear if he sent it, but the person is indeed from the capital, and his whereabouts are secretive, and he deliberately hides his identity, so he definitely doesn't plan to do anything good. If you only come at me, you won't be afraid, but I'm afraid that they will hurt the innocent in order to confuse the public, so I came to tell you that I want you to be prepared. Gong Xichu picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it all.

"Are you still in the mood for tea?" Li Wenhao was angry when he saw him sitting there steadily, "If it is really the person sent from the capital, I am afraid that my guards will not be of any use." ”

Gongxi Chu glanced at him, "What are you afraid of?" It's only two people, and it's not necessarily a master who comes, besides, isn't there still me? Gather people, let Mo Yan explain well, and then find the county lieutenant and the soldiers guarding the city, so many people, even if they are masters, they can let him come and go! ”

Master Li relaxed a little after he said it, but he was still a little worried, "It's really okay?" ”

"Don't worry, even if he really sent it, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm still more worried that they hired people to commit murder, because if the locals die too much, I'm afraid that your county order will be difficult to do! Gong Xichu guessed.

I have to say, I really let Gongxi Chu guess it.

The north of Anping County is the gathering place of Qinglou Gambling House, and there are a lot of idlers on weekdays, and there are all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams. At this time, in a private house, three people were discussing something.

"These are deposits, and there's so much more to come, and whatever you rob is yours to be." The person who spoke was dressed in blue, and he wore a wide-brimmed hat on his head, which was pressed very low, covering most of his face, and behind the man in gray stood a man in gray and holding a sword and also wearing a hat.

The black tiger looked at the wooden box on the table, and there were five taels of gold ingots in the box, there were ten of them, a full fifty taels of gold, and five hundred taels of silver! Usually he hadn't even seen it, but now it was really piled up in front of him.

If you have this silver, you can buy dozens of acres of land, marry a woman in two rooms, and live the life of a lord who is served, Heihu couldn't help swallowing and foaming at the mouth and looked up at the person who suddenly found him.

"What the hell are you asking me to do?"

The corners of the blue-clothed man's mouth on the opposite side curled up with disdain, and he quickly disappeared, "It's nothing, it's just that you and your brothers are just going to be a rogue!" ”

"To be a rogue?" The black tiger couldn't help screaming, and slapped the table with annoyance on his face, "I said why someone suddenly sent me so much silver, it turned out to be life money!" ”

"Brother Hei's words are wrong, I just asked you for help, why did I buy my life?" The man in blue asked.

Hei Hu's face was red and his neck was thick, and he slapped the table with a bang, if he hadn't been afraid of the person holding the sword behind him, he would have beaten this person out a long time ago. "Who doesn't know that the new Master Li is a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes? Now stealing a money bag can make those catchers catch up for a long time, if they are rogues, they will be cut off at the right time? ”

The man in blue sneered disdainfully, "It is said that the black master is bold and black-hearted, and he is also a figure in Anping County, but now it seems that he is not worthy of the name!" ”

"I'm bold and I'm not stupid!" The black tiger snorted as well.

"As far as I know, the Black Tiger brothers have no relatives in the county, and they live by collecting some protection money every day with a vote of brothers, but if you want to start a family and marry, I'm afraid you can't, right?" The man in blue spoke slowly, "Wouldn't it be good if you took this job and then took the money and went away to become a rich man?" ”

The black tiger also hesitated when he heard this, he couldn't make this money in his life by collecting protection money! Gritted his teeth, "Then you give too little, twice as much, or I won't do it!" ”

"Deal!" The man in blue agreed without hesitation, "But I can't give it to you until it's over!" ”

"That's fine!" The black tiger stepped forward and put away the box containing the gold, and asked, "Where do you want to rob the shop?" As far as I know, there is a gold shop in the county town that is doing good business. ”

The man in blue said: "Don't rob the gold shop!" ”

The black tiger looked at him in surprise and laughed at himself: "If you don't rob the gold shop, where will you go to make money?" Is it difficult to rob the county office? ”

"It's not a county office, it's a private house!" Only then did the man in blue say his goal.

"Are you a private house?" The black tiger almost jumped up, "That place is all lived by the officials and masters of the county government, and it is no different from the county government!" I'm not going to do that! ”
