Cuicui chuckled.

Then they talked about the details and broke up.

Cuicui asked, "Why don't you go and see that Chen Shaoxia?"

But there is a Yuan Zhutou by his side.

I am not afraid of anything except to meet with officials.

At the same time, I advise you not to associate with any official after this matter is done, lest you get into unnecessary trouble. ”

"I'm not going to care about them!"

In this way, Cuicui and Bao'er turned around and returned to the Chen Mansion compound......

Qingqing asked, "Where is he? Didn't he go with you?"

"Sister, let's talk about it later. Let's go. Don't let them wait for us. ”

They all jumped off the tiles.

Yuan Zhutou stepped forward and asked, "Who is it? Did you catch him?"

At this time, Chen Shaobai also came out of the courtyard, and when he saw them, he asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

Cuicui said: "It's the martial arts master who passed by here and made a little joke with us, and now it's fine!"

Chen Shaobai was relieved: "I thought it was the Yuhua Rakshasa! Who is the Xuanling master?"

"The Jianghu Ranger is good. ”

Chen Shaobai was surprised: "It's the ranger Shang Liang!"

Cuicui nodded: "Do you know him too?"

"I only heard his name, I didn't get a chance to meet. ”

Chen Shaobai's heart was moved, and he said disappointedly, "Xiao Xia, why don't you invite him to sit for a while?"

He was strange and didn't say a word, saying that he was in a hurry to leave. Don't worry, Chen Shaoxia, you might be able to meet him tomorrow. ”

"Really? That's great!"

Cuicui asked Yuan Zhutou: "Do you want to take a boat tonight?" strike while the iron is hot, so that the night will not be full of dreams." ”

"Okay! ”

"Yuan Zhutou had better leave this matter to someone else and take his boat. ”

"Then I will bring the Lord, and you will wait for me by the river. ”

"Good!"

A small boat swung down the river embankment and down the river.

They are Leopard, Qingqing, Cuicui, Chen Shaobai, Yuan Zhutou and one of the catchers, as well as the original owner.

Captain Wang Xianghu and his two sailors Jiang Bo, Jiang Lang.

In the early hours of the next morning, around midnight, the boat reached the river.

And on the riverbank, a new ship was moored.

Yuan Zhutou was surprised: "We landed here, aren't we going to Wutong Bridge?"

Cuicui blinked her eyes and said, "Because the Yuhua Rakshasa is here." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Catcher and the catcher couldn't help but look at the riverbank, except for the boat, there was no one on the shore.

Chen Shaobai was also puzzled: "Is Yuhua Rakshasa on that boat?"

I thought to myself: This is impossible, how can it be that the Yuhua Rakshasa is waiting for us to catch it by the river?"

Cuicui said: "We'll know when we go ashore. ”

Just then, a merchant stepped out of the ship.

Cuicui asked him, "Uncle, did anyone bring it?"

Shang Liang smiled and said, "Yes! ”

Cuicui said to Yuan Zhutou: "The thief who killed the ship and robbed the ship is in the cabin of that ship. Go catch him!"

Not only did Yuan Zhutou grab his head, but even Chen Shaobai was stunned: Is Yuhua Rakshasa in the cabin? Is there anyone waiting here to catch him? This is a strange thing in the world.

Yuan Zhutou couldn't believe that with the martial arts of Yuhua Rakshasa, could she be captured without a fight?

He asked Cuicui, "Xiaoxia, you won't tease us, will you?"

Seeing that his eyes were almost popping out, Cuicui held back a smile and said, "How dare I tease you Yuan Zhutou?" They are in the cabin. Catch them!"

Yuan Zhutou took up his weapon as before.

Cuicui said again: "Don't use your weapons, you only catch people when you go up, and you can't use them to fight." ”

Yuan Zhutou was shocked again.

In this case, he forced himself and the captain to get on board.

As expected, two fierce middle-aged men were tied to the cabin.

But they are so frustrated!

Cuicui, Leopard and Chen Shaobai also came.

Yuan Zhutou asked puzzledly: "Are they the ones who hijacked ships and killed people? What about the Yuhua Rakshasa ?"

Cuicui's answer turned out to be again: "They are not murderers, I dare not guarantee it." Yuan Zhutou, you'd better get them to admit it. Let's see if it's true. ”

Cuicui pointed to Shang Liang, "He is the one who caught them." ”

Shang Liang was startled, he didn't expect Cuicui to say this, and said with a smile: "Hey, little brother, are you mistaken? I tried hard to catch the robber, but I became a robber?"

Cuicui smiled: "Who knows if you caught the Yuhua Rakshasa or not." ”

"Hey, if I knew you were a tough person, I wouldn't have made it through!"

"Ah, you can't help it!"

At this time, Yuan Zhutou had already brought the victim to him.

As soon as the victim saw the two thieves who were bound, he angrily pointed to the scarred man on his face and said, "It is him, hack my son to death and kick his body into the river." ”

Cuicui said: "Boatman, you can see clearly, don't recognize the wrong person anymore, that's not easy to do." ”

"I'm not mistaken," cried the shipowner, "and I would still recognize him even if he were burned to ashes." He was the murderer of my son. ”

He pointed to another thief and said, "He killed Mr. Hu." ”

Master Hu, also known as Liu Countyling's brother-in-law.

Shang Liang seemed to let go of a double burden, and said to Cuicui: "This time, I didn't catch the wrong person, right?"

"Thank you very much, then!"

Cuicui said to Yuan Catcher again: "Murderer, I brought it to you! You take them back to the Yamen." ”

"Thank you for your help. But ......"

"Are you asking Yuhua Rakshasa Now, I can tell you that we fought her here, killed her, and her body was buried in the rocky sand on the riverbank, and you can take her body back. Or you can cut off her head and take it back. ”

Only then did Yuan Catcher understand why Cuicui told him not to bring troops here, because he would have killed Yuhua Rakshasa early, and her subordinates had also been arrested, so there was no need to fight again, he just came to bring people back.

Then he said, "Little man, why didn't you say it earlier? I'm afraid they'll run away." ”

Cuicui blinked and said, "I said it earlier, it's tasteless! Isn't it more interesting now?"

Yuan Zhutou laughed, thinking: It seems that this little man, his childlike innocence has not retreated, and he likes to play tricks on people, no wonder he will make Pan Sanye of Jinyiwei laugh. Don't offend him later.

Cuicui said again: "Yuan Zhutou, how can you tell Master Liu when you go back?"

"I'll tell you the truth. ”

"Wouldn't that be nice? You'd better say that. Yuhua Rakshasa resists arrest, you have to do it. With the strength of all of them, she was seriously injured and eventually died of her injuries. ”

Chen Shaobai stood beside him and said, "Yuan Zhutou, this is the best way to say! Yuhua Rakshasa robbed a ship and killed people, if he took the boat back, it would be a death sentence." ”

Yuan Zhutou smiled and said, "Okay! That's what I'm going to say." ”

"Yuan Zhutou, so we're leaving! We can break up, we can say goodbye. ”

Yuan Zhutou was a little stunned: "Xiaoxia won't go back to Jiading Prefecture?"

"What are we going back for? Besides, we really don't want to see your stupid Lord Liu. ”

Chen Shaobai asked: "The three little heroes don't like to show up, how many days have they lived in my house?"

Cuicui blinked her eyes and said, "Chen Xiaoxia, do you want to see that elusive ranger? If you want, follow us." ”

Chen Shaobai said happily: "Okay! I'll follow the three of you." ”

Cuicui said to Yuan Zhutou: "Yuan Zhutou, you take the murderer to the boat! As for our original boatman, he will not accompany you back." ”

Yuan Zhutou was at a loss: "Then, how can the boat be towed?"

Cuicui pointed to the victim: "Isn't he a boatman? Return to him. If you're short on people, there are two sailors on board who will help you get the boat back. ”

All of these details were agreed upon by Cuicui, Leopard, and Shang Liang last night.

So early in the morning began to wait.

Cuicui raised her hand to Qingqing again and shouted, "Brother Qing, you can take Uncle Wang and them across the river." ”

Qingqing responded to the call of the boat and went with Wang Xianghu to pack up.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhutou had no choice but to cut off the head of the Yuhua Rakshasa.

Then he took the two criminals on a boat and left.

Before leaving, Chen Shaobai said to Yuan Zhutou: "Please tell my family that I will go back in a few days." Don't worry about me. ”

"Chen Shaoxia, don't worry, I will bring the words. ”

After seeing him leave, Cuicui said to Wang Xianghu, "Uncle, look at this boat." It's already yours. ”

Wang Xianghu was stunned: "Is it the old man's?"

"Uncle, you have lost a ship because of us. Shouldn't we give you a ship?"

Cuicui pointed at Shang Liang and said, "If you think this boat is not good, you ask him, maybe he will deduct the silver from the ship and buy a bad boat for you." ”

Everyone laughed.

Qingqing smiled and said, "Brother, do you have some virtue in your mouth?"

Shang Liang also smiled and said: "I am an honest person, run errands, and never deceive the boss." By saying that, you are damaging my reputation. I want you to pay. ”

Cuicui smiled: "Some people say that profiteers, profiteers, no traitors, no businessmen." How can I trust you? Uncle Wang, you'd better get on the boat and check if everything is safe. It's a matter of life and death. In case the boat leaks or breaks in half, I don't want to fall into the river to feed the big fish. ”

Wang Xianghu smiled and said, "Okay! I'll check it first." ”

"Uncle, you should do it. This is your livelihood, and you must make sure before he leaves, otherwise he 'will not return the goods' and you will not be able to sue him." ”

The crowd laughed again.

Wang Xianghu took Jiang Bo with him, and Jiang Lang really boarded the boat and carefully inspected everywhere, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

Cuicui asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Wang Xianghu smiled and said: "Good, good, not only better than the old man's original boat, but also better than the boat just now! It can even cross the sea and withstand any storms and huge waves." ”

Shang Liang asked Cuicui, "I didn't embezzle the silver, did I?"

Cuicui smiled: "Uncle, this is too difficult for you!"

"Now that the goods are in hand, I can go. ”

Cuicui was holding him with one hand: "Ah! you can't go yet." You'll have to walk with us on the waterway. I'm a little upset about that. ”

"Where do you want me to go with you?"

"Chongqing".

Shang Liang was shocked: "Go to Chongqing? This is not a waterway, this is a waterway for several days!"

"Yes! The waterways can be long or short, sometimes days, sometimes months, sometimes a year. ”

"Now, do you want me to accompany you?"

"You follow us, we can't starve you. ”

"No, who's going to feed my family?"

"I don't care. ”

"Now, are you reasonable?"

"I'm reasoning with others, not with you, and I've earned a lot of money for us. ”

Qingqing, Leopard, and Wang Xianghu knew Shang Liang's temper, and smiled silently, wanting to see how Cuicui tricked Shangliang.

But Chen Shaobai was different, thinking: What does this businessman have to do with Cuicui, Cuicui is so unwilling to let him go.

He couldn't help but ask Cuicui: "Xiaoxia, has he offended you in the past?"

"He pitied me so much!"

"Oh, what did he do?"

"He refused to save us in a tavern in a small town and then kicked us while we were on the boat with a couple of traffickers who tricked us into drinking LSD and almost sold us. If you don't believe it, ask Uncle Wang. ”

Wang Xianghu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right." The old man can attest. ”

Shang Liang shouted, "Old man, why don't you have a conscience?"

"What my dad said is true!"

Chen Shaobai also saw from their smiles that there was no deep hatred between Cuicui and this businessman, probably just punished him, and asked, "Xiaoxia, how are you going to punish him?"

"He's been following us for a year and a half and I want to punish him. ”

Shang Liang said: "Won't my yellow-faced wife starve to death?"

Chen Shaobai felt this kind of punishment that he had never seen in Xuanling.

If he were a treacherous businessman, it would be better. However, when he thought of his wife, he couldn't bear to think that he was a decent and chivalrous person.

He said, "Little man, if he didn't commit any great sin, for the sake of the boat he bought, why didn't you let him go?"

Cuicui smiled and asked, "I really let him go, don't you regret it?"

Chen Shaobai was shocked: "What do I regret?"

"Don't you want to see that Ranger?"

"Why, does it have anything to do with him?"

"Of course there is, and it falls on him. ”

"Oh, do you know who he is?"

At this time, Qingqing said: "Brother, Chen Shaoxia is an honest and decent person, don't tease him!"

She looked at Chen Shaobai and pointed at Shang Liang and asked, "Chen Shaoxia, do you know who he is?"

Chen Shaobai was at a loss: "Who is he?"

"He is a prodigal son. ”

Chen Shaobai couldn't believe it: "Really?"

The leopard, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Shaoxia, he is a real wanderer, I won't lie to you. ”

Qingqing and Chen Shaobai didn't believe it, but he couldn't help believing Leopard's words, and hurriedly came to the door and said, "Chen Shaobai is going to meet Shang Daxia." ”

Shang Liang hurriedly replied, "Chen Shaoxia, don't be mistaken. I'm not a business hero. ”

This time, Chen Shaobai was embarrassed again, looking at the leopard with his eyes.

Leopard hurriedly said: "Uncle Shang, Chen Shaoxia really wants to see you, you can't do this." ”

Qingqing also said: "Uncle Shang, you are too hypocritical!"

Shang Liang patted Chen Shaoxia and said, "Chen Shaoxia, don't mind, I mean, I'm not worthy of being a business ranger, what people call me a ranger, I also suffer." If you don't mind, call me Uncle Shang or Shang Liang in the future. Actually, look at my face as a small businessman, like a hero?"

Chen Shaobai said: "Uncle Shang is hiding on the street. Shows chivalrous demeanor, but does not show face. The younger generation has long been attracted by fame and fortune, and now they can meet Shang Daxia and be greatly relieved.

"Brother Chen, you are too polite, but you make me uncomfortable. To put it mildly, it's like sitting on pins and needles. You're better like them, uninhibited, like an old friend, so I'm comfortable. ”

Cuicui said, "That's it, you'd better tease him, so he will be more comfortable!"

Chen Shaobai couldn't help laughing.

He felt that it was interesting to get acquainted with these eccentrics, and that he was not in such a hurry to meet decent people.

Shang Liang said to him: "Brother Chen, it's not strange that I am a kung fu. Speaking of martial arts weirdos, there is indeed one among us, do you want to know?"

Chen Shaobai's eyes widened: "Really, Uncle Shang, you're not playing tricks on me, are you?"

"No, no, it's serious business. I'm not like the guy who claims to be a little killer and likes to play tricks on people. ”

Chen Shaobai was stunned again: "Xuanling little killer?"

Shang Liang pointed at Cuicui and Qingqing: "When the two of them see people, they call themselves some kind of Xuanling little killers." Do you think they look like killers?"

Chen Shaobai said: "Uncle Shang is joking! How can they be Xuanling little killers?"

"Are you talking about them?"

"No, no, it's another. ”

"Who?"

Shang Liang pointed at Wang Xianghu and said, "Do you know who he is?"

Wang Xianghu hurriedly said, "Shang Daxia, you can't make fun of me, an old man. ”

"Who's kidding you?"

The nickname of Poyang Jiaowang is not a joke, is it?"

Chen Shaobai said: "Poyang Lake Jiao, the benevolent old man Wang who stands majestically in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River?"

"Who is it but him?"

Chen Shaobai hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't know why Chen Shaobai wanted to give such a big gift, and even Wang Xianghu was stunned: "Chen Shaoxia, you-"

"My predecessor is the great benefactor of my family, how can I not worship it?"

"Chen Shaoxia, you must be mistaken! Chen Shaoxia and I have never known each other, even if we entered Sichuan, we have never saved anyone, how did we become the great benefactor of your family?"

"Isn't the predecessor Wang Xianghu of the Bailang Gang?"

"Yes! The old man's is Xianghu. ”

"The younger generation is not wrong. Do you remember once opposing a group of bandits in Jiujiang, the Yangtze River, Jiangxi, and protecting an old man surnamed Chen, escorting him to Chongqing?"

"Yes—that's it, sir—"

"This is my late father, who never forgot his words. He left his last words on his deathbed, saying that he would repay the kindness of his predecessors. But the younger generation entered the house and went to Poyang Lake to look for the old man, and the old man and the wizard of Xiao Gushan went through a war, so that Xiao Gu Mountain was expelled from the rivers and lakes, and the old man disappeared. The younger generation traveled all over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but could not find anyone who could meet them. They sadly returned, while their benefactor lived in seclusion on the Min River. ”

And when the people heard this, they knew that it was so.

Shang Liang said: "Brother Wang, the little killer said that I was hypocritical, and I think you are more hypocritical than me! You know that Chen Shaoxia's home is in Jiading, why don't you go and see them? When you see Chen Shaoxia, you also pretend not to know, it's too much to say!"

Chen Shaobai said: "Uncle Shang, it's no wonder that Senior Wang. Indeed, my father had never seen me before. Also, my father lived in Chongqing before moving to Jiading. My father didn't know. ”

Cuicui said, "Then Uncle Wang should also be spanked." ”

Leopard said, "Xiaocui, why do you say that about Uncle Wang?"

"Am I wrong? They struggled to find him, but he was crammed into a small boat on the Min River. Shouldn't he have hit?"

Leopard said, "How does Uncle Wang know that Chen Shaoxia has moved to Jiading?"
