Duan Chao walked around the village and arranged some things, when he saw Shen Mu and the three of them leading the horses.

Shen Mu had already changed his clothes and walked over with Zong Bai and Lu Laosan.

Shen Mu said: "Gone?"

Duan Chao said blankly: "Yes, let's go!"

Shen Mu said: "Then why don't you go with Miss Zeng?"

Duan Chao said: "Didn't we discuss it last night, and the four of us rushed to Dingzhou City early in the morning?"

Shen Mu paused, pointed his finger and said: "Hey, big boss, how can you say hello! You, you want to learn how to get along with girls, you can't be a bachelor for the rest of your life." In this kind of thing, the younger brother can't help the big boss. ”

Duan Chao said: "You can do it, you can do it." ”

Shen Mu said: "The big boss is joking, isn't it, Miss Zeng is not shouting at Xia Engong!"

Duan Chao said: "Yes, I can't talk about you." Let's get down to business. ”

Lu Laosan handed a horse into Duan Chao's hands.

The group was about to go out when a little beggar suddenly crashed in.

The beggar was dressed in rags and holding a wooden stick in his hand, and when he saw Duan Chao and his party, he raised his voice and said, "Which one is Mr. Shen?"

Duan Chao glanced at the little beggar, and when he saw that his face was tight, he asked, "What are you looking for Mr. Shen?" ”

The little beggar glanced at Duan Chao very vigilantly and said, "Naturally, there is something, otherwise who would climb such a high mountain, and they can't ask for some silver, and they can't find food." He spoke in a tone of righteousness and awe-inspiring, as if he had been generous to righteousness.

Duan Chao pointed at Shen Mu and said, "Brother Shen's name has actually spread to the beggar's nest. With these words, he laughed at Shen Mufang and laughed at himself.

Shen Mu didn't have the heart to laugh. He beckoned the little beggar over and said, "I am Mr. Shen." If there's anything, just say it. ”

The little beggar looked at Shen Mu and said, "You didn't lie to me!"

Shen Mu said: "What do you do? Didn't the man tell you about the incision?"

The little beggar scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes." Spend a good full moon. ”

Shen Mu said: "Safety first. ”

The little beggar said again: "Rolling the Yangtze River is passing away." ”

Shen Mu said: "Who has pity for the red incense." ”

The two of them said and answered, and Duan Chao and the others were confused.

But I heard the little beggar clap his hands happily and said, "It's really Mr. Shen." He took out a crumpled paper roll from his torn clothes and handed it to Shen Mu.

Shen Mu unfolded the paper scroll and wrote three words crookedly.

Xitan Village.

Shen Mu smiled slightly, tore the paper roll to shreds, took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, and said, "Little brother, thank you,"

The little beggar was overjoyed, took the money, and jumped down the hill.

Duan Chao waited for the beggar to walk away before asking, "Brother Shen, who is this little beggar?

Shen Mu said: "I don't know either. However, I probably won't be able to go to Dingzhou Mansion today. ”

Duan Chao said: "Didn't Brother Shen say last night that Qixingzhai would definitely act today? Everyone is ready now, why is this from Brother Shen? Won't the people from Qixingzhai come?"

Shen Mu said: "No, they will definitely come." We killed Yu Shangyi yesterday, and after the people of Lie Yupo go back, they will definitely inform Liang Dongcheng of the whole situation. When they saw that we had spent all the money, how could they be patient? If he was pushed by the disciples of Lieyupo, he would not fail to come today. ”

Duan Chao said: "In this case, Brother Shen should go with me to deal with it." ”

Shen Mu said: "Originally, I should have been present for this matter, but now there is another important matter that I need to take my brothers to do." If this matter is done well, Qixingzhai will naturally not be afraid. ”

Duan Chao said: "Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen? What are you going to do today?"

Shen Mu said: "Today, we want to attack the east and west, no, it should be called flowering on the tree." ”

Lu Laosan said: "Mr. Shen, Shen Mu is called flowering on the tree?"

Shen Mu said: "The purpose of flowering on this tree is to confuse the enemy, so that the enemy thinks that we only pay attention to Fuchao Yinzhuang, but in fact, we have found the enemy's Achilles heel." ”

Duan Chao said: "Brother Shen, although I don't understand what you have to do. However, as long as it is good for everyone, you can do it. Although everyone calls me a big boss in this cottage, this is actually not only my Duan Chao's cottage, but everyone's home. Brother Shen, don't worry, there is me over there in Fuchao Yinzhuang, we have been laying out for five or six days, and the brothers already know what to do next. ”

When Shen Mu heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Big boss, you must remember that you don't need to be strong, just follow the method we said." ”

Duan Chao said: "Don't worry. However, you kid should also rest assured. I know you're going to do something secret, and I'm not going to ask. However, don't blame the eldest brother for being verbose, be careful in everything, and come back alive. ”

Shen Mu saw that he looked like he was parting from life and death, and he was a little amused.

Shen Mu said: "Don't worry, I will arrange it properly." ”

Immediately, Duan Chao gave two instructions, and took Lu Laosan and Zong Bai down the mountain.

Shen Mu entered the stockade and asked Zong Ming and Han Fei to order a dozen people, and Ma Linzi to order six knights.

The group was ready to go.

Ning Han slid the four-wheeled cart, came to Shen Mu, and said, "You're going out again?"

Shen Mu saw that it was Ning Han, bowed his hand, and said, "Fifth uncle, I'll go out." ”

Ning Han said: "I always feel that something is not quite right this morning, you go, be careful in everything." ”

Shen Mu said: "Fifth uncle, please rest assured, Shen Mu has arranged everything." ”

Ning Han said: "You need to know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." ”

Shen Mu said: "Thank you Fifth Uncle, I know!"

Ning Han took out a bag from his chest and handed it to Shen Mudao: "At a critical moment, open it again and look at it." ”

Shen Mu took the bag, soft and soft, I don't know what it contains. As soon as I opened it, I heard Ning Han say: "Remember, if you have to die, you must not open it at will." ”

Shen Mu saw that what Ning Han said was true, where did he dare to look at it again, and carefully collected the tips.

I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: Could this be the three life-saving hairs that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave to Sun Monkey?

Hey, what's the life-saving hair, I'm not a monkey.

What's going on today, one by one, it's like a dying farewell.

Fuchao Yinzhuang is crowded with people, blocking the road in front of the door.

The commotion of the crowd gathered more and more, attracting officers and soldiers patrolling the city to maintain order.

The various villages and shops to which Qixingzhai belongs, under the leadership of Liang Dongcheng, fifty or sixty people, sat in Yinzhuang early in the morning.

What Liang Dongcheng said was that he heard that Fuchao Yinzhuang was in the business of cheating money and running away, so they wanted to withdraw all the money stored in Yinzhuang.

Hou Cheng has already been calculated. It's okay to withdraw money, but you have to wait for the owner to arrive.

Liang Dongcheng did not press forward step by step, in his opinion, no matter who came to Fuchao Silver Village, it was impossible to have enough silver taels to pay.

50,000 taels of silver were pledged at the Zhicha Bureau, and the other tens of thousands of taels of silver were shipped to various places for procurement.

They didn't have enough time to transfer back the silver taels, as long as they couldn't pay the money, they could ask the government to intervene and arrest Duan Chao and others on the charge of defrauding the people, and close their shops.

Liang Dongcheng can wait, and he wants to wait.

As a result, more and more people will know about it, and then it will be out of control.

Killing people is not enough, and when dealing with Wulong Mountain, they must not be given a chance to turn over.

The situation is just as Liang Dongcheng predicted.

For a time, all the large and small shops, but all the people who had saved money in Fuchao Yinzhuang came around.

There is not much silver, and the excitement is to be made.

People are most afraid of others fanning the flames.

Noon was approaching, and Liang Dongcheng had already drunk three bowls of tea.

His fingers struck the rhythm on the table in a very orderly manner. The more lively it was outside, the more satisfied he became.

Look, the hour is almost up. Liang Dongcheng suddenly stood up and slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.

"Bang"

Porcelain pieces are crushed. The sound was sudden, and everyone in the room was slightly stunned, and their eyes looked at Liang Dongcheng in unison.

I only heard Liang Dongcheng shouting: "Wait, wait, wait." I had been waiting for nearly two hours. Where did you go? I'm afraid you didn't run away. ”

Hou Cheng said with a smiling face: "What's the matter, Boss Liang later." The proprietor said later. ”

Liang Dongcheng said: "Later? This later, is there any end?"

Hou Chengdao: "Boss Liang, your brother is a villain, and there is no way for a villain." If the proprietor doesn't come, where do I dare to put money? ”

Liang Dongcheng said: "Then if your host doesn't come, won't we be able to get the silver?"

When the people behind him heard this, they chattered and chattered for a while. Or swearing, or arguing.

Hou Cheng raised his hands and stopped the crowd from talking. Said: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." ”

The people in that room were all brought out by Liang Dongcheng, who had originally come to find trouble, how could they listen to Hou Cheng.

Seeing that no one cared about him, Hou Cheng grabbed the teapot on the table, raised his hand, and smashed it down.

With a "bang", the spectators outside the door straightened their necks and looked inside.

The soldiers patrolling the city were afraid of causing an incident, so they hurriedly stopped everyone from retreating.

The leading officer listened for a moment, and saw that there was no commotion inside. Thinking that Boss Liang had already passed the meeting before he came, his responsibility was to arrest people, and the person to be arrested had not yet come, and the reason for arresting people had not yet appeared. Then, you should do your duty to do a good job of maintaining law and order.

Hou Cheng raised his voice and said, "Noisy, noisy." What's so noisy. Lao Tzu has said, you want to take the silver, no problem. As long as the owner comes, I will immediately open the cabinet and put the silver. You said that when you guys came to save money one by one, there was no such noise. What's wrong, my father is dead, and I still don't have a mother. Are you in a hurry to use the money for the funeral? ”

Hou Cheng's words were like thunder, mixed with swearing. When someone shouts "Why are you like this", "Why are you scolding", "The silver is ours, we can take it if we want, next to you." ”

Hou Cheng turned a deaf ear and shouted: "Okay, wait another half an hour, if the big boss doesn't come, I will work with the shopkeeper Wang to return the money to everyone." ”
