I also feel very wronged. "I won't talk to you, anyway, you have to find a way to release my brother, otherwise you will die together, and my brother will have a companion on the road to Huangquan." ”

Speaking of this, he understood that this person was Biaozi's brother in the rivers and lakes, so he said: "Don't be verbose, is there anyone like you who asks for help?"

This man untied himself, thinking that he was a weak man, and forgave him and could not run away.

Then, by the moonlight in the suburbs, this man told Zi Ze that his name was Huzi, and he was Biaozi's brother in the rivers and lakes, and in the afternoon he heard that Biaozi was arrested by the people patrolling the yamen, but he thought of a lot of ways and bought one of the people inside, but in the end it was useless.

Later, he inquired again, and said that it was because Biaozi took away the gold from the store when he was helping someone find someone, and then he found the office of Xiyan Mansion, and he happened to meet Zi Ze, who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard alone, which is why tonight's incident happened.

Since he thought to himself, since this is the case, if he comes hard now, this guy will definitely have a sharp killing opportunity, so it is better to agree first, and then slowly find a way to get out depending on the situation.

Thinking of this, he smiled, "You stupid hat, it turns out to be such an idea, why didn't you say it earlier, causing Lao Tzu to suffer this in vain in the middle of the night." The big black man said, "How do you know my name?"

Zi laughed, there is really such a name in the world, no wonder Biaozi is at such a level, and the friends he makes are so stupid, and the name is "stupid hat", it's really stupid.

Immediately, he said seriously, "Silly hat, have you been fooled?"

"I've been fooled? No way! I've heard a lot of people say that Biaozi asked the people who patrolled the yamen to tie him up. ”

"You don't know. Actually, this is a play played by the government and Biaozi. ”

"What kind of play?" he glanced at the stupid hat with disdain. "You're stupid. Think about it. If someone loses money in the store, they must report it to the official. If you report to the government, the government will definitely deal with it. If you deal with it, you'll have to work hard, whip a few whips, and then find an excuse to get people away and let them go quietly. As for the officials who patrol the yamen. You can eat the plaintiff and the defendant, take the money at both ends, and then share the money with Biaozi. Maybe this Biaozi is eating with people in the governor's mansion and sharing the money. ”

Since a few "words" and a few "wells", the stupid hat can't turn around for a while, it feels a little reasonable, and it feels a little wrong, but Biaozi is more official and cooperates to make money together, which is a common thing, and the stupid hat still believes it.

I thought about it for a long time. He finally figured it out, this question is - how did this person from the Xiyan family know so much about Biaozi.

Zi Ze smiled again, "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid." Biaozi is my friend, where were we looking for someone yesterday, in fact, Biaozi asked us to go over to cover up.

When you called me at night, I was dreaming of splitting the money with Biaozi. You say I know, I don't know. He said. I made the stupid hat stunned again - Biaozi has always only done this kind of thing with his friends on the road and a few followers of the government, why did he call outsiders here today. What's more, it's someone who hasn't even seen himself, it stands to reason that he is also a person who has been on the rivers and lakes for decades, and there are no ruffians and hooligans in the capital who don't know him, but this person from the Xiyan family doesn't look like a hooligan.

By this time, he had been smiling. "I said silly hat, silly hat, no wonder your dad gave you such a name. ”

After laughing, he immediately said with a straight face, "Bad people still have to write a 'bad' word on their foreheads? For fear that people won't recognize them? This is the cleverness of Biaozi, do you know? With someone like me who looks like a good person, he is covering up." Biaozi is easy to start. How about it, yesterday I took it so easily, and ten taels of gold arrived. In addition, the shop owner gave the official a plug in order to solve the case, at least it is not a problem to divide the logistics. How can you get money if you do something like you?"

After that, he taught the Seven Fools a lesson: "What age is it now? You can't just make money by fighting, killing, and killing, you have to rely on your brains to make money." Oh, really!" After speaking, it seemed that he still regretted infinitely.

When the stupid hat heard this, he seemed to have understood, and immediately changed his smiling face, "Brother, you don't see the blame for others, brother, I have always walked in the rivers and lakes, and I only relied on the word righteousness, thinking that I could eat and drink without worrying with only a handful of strength, but I didn't expect that the times have changed, and I don't have enough strength alone, and I have to use my brain." Brother, you are my own brother, and I will follow you in the future, eat fragrant, drink spicy, use your brain, and make a lot of money. ”

"Want to follow me? There's something that needs to be tested to test you. ”

"What's the matter, don't you look down on my stupid hat?" After the stupid hat finished speaking, he was a little sullen, and inadvertently seemed to move the knife.

Zi Ze looked at it and changed his tone, "Hey, it's not that I won't accept you." I'm really afraid that if you are not qualified, you will lose your life, and you won't be able to draw it. ”

The stupid hat saw that there was still some hope, so he stammered and said, "Brother, tell me, what kind of conditions are needed? Murder, or fire prevention? Or, whose big girl do you like, I'll get it for you?"

Zi Zeshun immediately changed color, and took a few steps forward, pretending to be very angry, and said fiercely, "I said stupid hat brother, I just said that you should use your brain, you will know how to fight and kill." Unqualified, I don't want it!"

The stupid hat saw that he was about to leave, pulled out his knife, and smiled: "Do you want to go? No way! If you don't accept me, don't want to leave!"

Seeing that this person was really stupid, he pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay." However, there is one ugly thing that I have to say first.

If you dare to take a knife to me again, I will kill you with my brain!"

As soon as the stupid hat heard that he was going to use the power of his brain, he was an opponent, and hurriedly threw the knife in his hand to the ground, just like this knife was hot.

Then, the stupid hat popped, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zize three times: "The master is above, the disciple stupid hat kowtows to you."

Please take me with my brains in the future, earn a lot of money, eat meat in a big piece, and eat wine in a big bowl. ”

Zi Zewan smiled, "You still think it's beautiful, there are so many delicious foods, I can't eat them myself, do I have to take you to eat together?" "Then the master will eat more, and I will eat less." ”

Silly hats don't feel right. Then he said, "The master just eats to his heart's content, and I'll keep a bite for the rest." Hey. "I was frightened all night, and I didn't expect to accept an apprentice, but this apprentice doesn't seem to be very stable, and he may be worn at any time. But now I can only coax him to go home with him first, as for Biaozi, I can't see each other again anyway, otherwise the two of them will confront each other and immediately expose the stuffing.

I looked at the clouds that were slowly leaking from the sky, and I knew that it was almost dawn.

Suddenly, a team of "jingling" camel bells sounded in the distance, and from the camel bells, you knew it. It must have been a caravan of merchants from the west or foreign countries to the capital.

He has seen a lot of these people in the capital, and some of them have become friends with each other.

Under the pretext of having an upset stomach, he left the stupid hat and squatted on the ground, pretending to be convenient.

Although the summer nights are not cold, the early morning in this suburb is still a little cool. After a night of self-brainwashing, the stupid hat is still dizzy. After a while, he was happy, he recognized a new master, and in the future, some of them ate and some of them spent, and for a while, he was nervous, afraid that he would abandon him, and then he would be busy all night.

It's easy to finish. The caravan merchant also came over, and he was overjoyed to see that the person who came was indeed one of his friends, Abai's "Pilu Heron", which was the name he had given him. But this man was still very fond of it, and said that the "heron" was a noble bird, very beautiful, and even modestly said that he did not deserve such a good name, but how did he know that he was completely mocking and joking.

"Hey, Viru!

"Hey, my friend!" said to the Silly Hat mysteriously, "you see how I got my hands on this man's money."

You're waiting here.

Remember, use your brain!" After that, he walked towards Pilu Lulu, walked to him, and said that he had just accepted an apprentice and needed his cooperation, but he didn't say much, and he couldn't say a few words clearly after a while.

Knowing that this friend had always been eccentric, he smiled and nodded.

He said, "I will sell you this stone, and you will give me twenty taels of gold, and in a little while I will sell you another stone, and you will give me thirty taels of gold." ”

Virulu said seriously, "What kind of stone are you?"

He knew that these foreigners were all money-eyed guys, and it seemed that it would not work if they didn't give any benefits, so he pretended to be angry and said, "I said that we played a play for this person together, and of course the stones and business are fake, you just need to give me money."

After the deed is completed, not only will I pay you back the money, but I will also give you a taste of our family's thousand-year-old radish. How about it?" As soon as she heard that she could taste a mouthful of the miraculous thousand-year-old radish, she immediately smiled, "Deal!" He ran up to the stupid hat and said to him, "I didn't cheat the money just now, but you have to cooperate with me."

After a while, you pretended to see a precious stone on the ground, and told me that it was a treasure, worth a thousand taels of gold, but when you were in a hurry to use the money, and wanted to sell it to me, I would be too expensive.

This foreigner will definitely take the opportunity to bargain, and you will reduce the price slightly and sell it to this foreigner. In this way, we make money. ”

After speaking, I didn't forget to teach the stupid hat a lesson by the way, "Remember, this is called using your brain!"

The stupid hat said seriously, "This is a lie!"

"Call you stupid, you're really stupid! ”

He kept his voice as low as possible, as if he was afraid that foreigners would hear it.

When the stupid hat heard this, he felt that it really made sense, so he took the opportunity to say, "After I make money in that moment, I will share a little more." ”

"! I'm your master, and I'll decide the money!"

The stupid hat was angry when he saw it, so he stopped insisting and saw the foreign caravan come to him.

"Hey, there's a stone here!" said the silly hat in the face of the heron, and stooped down to pick up an inconspicuous stone from the ground, "It's still a gem, I'm rich!"

After that, he jumped up with excitement.

Then he played, "What jewels? ”

"If you don't give it, if you want to see it, you have to buy it with money. ”

"How much?"

"One thousand taels!"

"It's so expensive, a hundred taels!"

"If you don't sell, you're bidding too low!"

"What are you buying?" When the Pilu heron saw the excitement here, he pretended to be watching the excitement and squeezed over.

"Go, go, go, you're a foreigner, what's going on?"

"Businessman, if you have a business, do it. Tell me, what are you buying and selling? I'll make a bid. "You? It's precious. At least a few hundred taels of gold. ”

Zi deliberately said loudly. "Yes, a few hundred taels of gold. ”

"I said, brother, how can anyone do such a business? I don't even let people see it, how do I know what it is, how can I bid. ”

"I want to sell this gem for a thousand taels of gold, and this boss has already sold a hundred taels just now. ”

"Why a hundred taels?" ...... just now," said Pilu Lulu, who wanted to say, didn't he just say a good twenty-two taels of gold. But when the words came to his mouth, he stopped abruptly, thinking that he would pay back the money if he told him anyway.

Thinking of this, Pilu Lulu said, "If he gives a hundred, then I will add another twenty taels, and sell me one hundred and twenty taels." ”

"Deal!" The stupid hat was not stupid at this time, and when he saw a stone, he earned one hundred and twenty taels of gold for no reason. If the master divides twenty taels, he will have one hundred taels, and he is so happy to think about it that he almost laughed out loud.

Just as he was happy, he snatched the gold away and threw ten taels to the stupid hat, "One and a half, take it!"

"It's not half of a person. Why did you give me ten taels?"

The silly hat looked at the gold that had just arrived, and it was gone in an instant. How can you be willing in your heart, even if you are a master, you have to make it clear.

Zi said seriously, "Say you're stupid, you still don't admit it, this account is not clear."

Don't say I'm your master in the future. I can't afford to lose this man!"

When the stupid hat saw that he didn't accept him as an apprentice, how could he do it, so he immediately begged him not to drive him away, because he knew very well that if he left. You can't earn even one tael of gold, let alone ten taels.

But looking at his crying face, he felt a little bodhisattva's heart, "I'd better figure it out for you, or you still think that the teacher is bullying you." That's good. ”

Then he said, "We said at the beginning, find a stone and sell it to this foreigner, and the first stone will sell for twenty taels of gold, isn't it?" Now I have sold one hundred and twenty taels, and the extra one hundred taels is of course mine, because we said that it was twenty taels, although we are a master-apprentice relationship, but we still have to discuss in case of trouble. The remaining twenty taels, half of us are one and a half, of course, you have ten taels. ”

When the stupid hat heard this, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, but the ten taels of gold he was holding in his hand were real, and he couldn't help but tighten and tighten. In this way, the group went on the road again, and walked towards the city along the official road into Beijing.

When he was about to walk to the city gate, the stupid hat deliberately bent down and picked up another stone according to the method he had agreed with Zize, saying that it was a gem and that he wanted to sell it to Zize and said no. In the end, it was sold to the Pilu heron for one thousand and thirty taels.

According to the theory of self-rule, of course, he took one thousand and fifteen taels for himself, and gave fifteen taels to the stupid hat.

Silly hat thought to himself, "I'm really lucky to meet such a good master today, and I make half of the money, if I meet someone else, hey......" Thinking of this, he has already entered the city, and from time to time someone greets him, he introduced himself to the other party, saying that this is his new master, which makes him very embarrassed - because everyone looks at the age of the stupid hat, far older than Zize, and even a generation older, I don't know how he fooled this stupid big man.

Because Pilu Lulu had to register at Dali Temple first, he separated from Zize, and made an appointment to meet at noon to hand over the thousand-year-old radish matter, and at the same time get back his gold.

After walking apart for a while, Pilu Lulu realized that he had not made an appointment to meet Zize, because although he knew that Zize was doing business in the city, and that he was still doing a lot of business, and that he had met his agents, he did not know where he lived, and he had never been to his house.

Since then, on the diagonal opposite side of Dali Temple, the largest courtyard and the most spacious door are.

When Pilu Lulu heard this, he thought that his business was so big that he should live in a noble and luxurious mansion, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Since he returned to the Xiyanfu office with a stupid hat, many people immediately surrounded him for where he went, saying that the master was in a hurry, and asked them what was going on, but they couldn't tell them clearly.

He thought that he was careless for a while, and he must have missed something serious, so he hurried to his father's room.

When there was no one in the room, he looked for it again in the gazebo in the courtyard, and sure enough, he found his father, who was sitting there sulking under the grape trellis.

"Where have you been? There's a lot of things waiting at home, don't you know?" The eldest son was not happy when he saw that he had gone out early in the morning, and had brought back a man who had not been careful.

Since he saw that he couldn't tell clearly for a while, the most hurried thing now was to ask his father what he was looking for, so he called the fat baby and asked him to go out for breakfast with a stupid hat first, and then winked at him again, and the fat baby nodded knowingly.

The stupid hat tossed all night, the whole stomach growled, I heard that there was breakfast to eat, I was so happy that I followed the fat baby away, and I didn't ask where to eat and what to eat.

Zi Ze saw that he sent the stupid hat away, and hurriedly asked his father what was the matter.

The eldest son said, "We said yesterday that we are going to go to the Governor's Mansion today to propose marriage, and you will express your own attitude, do you like it or not? If you are not happy, I will not force you." ”

As soon as he heard that it was this matter, his heart suddenly put down, and his heart said that there was nothing he didn't like, and it was too late to rejoice, but he was afraid that his father would change his mind and let him miss a marriage, so he hurriedly said, "The son's marriage is all up to the father." ”

After speaking, he was afraid that his father would be wrong, thinking that he was a little reluctant in his heart, and continued, "My father's fancy in-laws must be good." ”

After saying that, he was embarrassed. "You slippery head, obviously you proposed to marry this cousin, how can you say that I fancy it? No wonder everyone says that you have seventy-two hearts, and you are a monkey. Hahaha!"

When the eldest son said this, he was even more embarrassed.

In the eyes of the father, the child will always be a child who will not grow up, and he can always joke.

"Then it's decided, you get ready, we'll have breakfast and we'll go. ”

The eldest son specifically admonished him.

Seeing that he was leaving, he asked again what was going on with this indiscriminate person.

Zi Ze told the truth about the situation, and finally said, "It seems that our roots in the capital are not deep, and we must not only make the relationship between officialdom solid, but also settle things on the rivers and lakes." ”

At the same time, he said, "If you let this stupid hat out, sooner or later the matter of Biaozi will be exposed, and it will bring a series of troubles, this person is unreliable, and sooner or later there will be problems." I didn't think about what to do with it. ”

The eldest son smiled when he heard this, "This is not easy to do, take him to the underground of the Hezhongtang Mansion, and let Lao Shu remove the memory in his heart? In addition, I am also thinking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes you said, and after I got up, I also talked to Xiao Huaizi, asking him to unify the people in the rivers and lakes in the capital, at least not to stir up trouble, and this kind of thing like last night must not happen again. ”

When I heard this, I put down a stone in my heart.

After the meal, he and his eldest son, Jin Tai, and the group carried the dowry, blowing suona, and came to the governor's mansion all the way.

Because last night, the eldest son made a special trip, and had communicated with Zhu Mingzhe, the governor of the patrol yamen, in advance, and obtained Mingzhe's approval, so before he arrived at the door, a group of people opened the middle door, lit the greeting salute, crackled, and the neighbors came to see the excitement.

Because they didn't get any news in advance, everyone was talking about it, and they were smiling, waiting to see what happy things were happening in the governor's mansion, but after the gift box carried by the eldest son went in, they saw a few cannons, and there was no movement, so they couldn't guess what was going on.

Since he was worried about Biaozi's affairs, he deliberately fell behind and asked Master Qin how to deal with Biaozi.

When Master Qin heard the word "Biaozi", he was immediately shocked, secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly said, "It's over, it's over! I have to call someone over to take a look." ”

It turned out that since yesterday afternoon, after tying Biaozi in and tying him under the flagpole, he went to do other things, but he sent soldiers to watch it, and did not explain to the soldiers how to deal with it.

From yesterday afternoon to now, a whole night has passed, and Biaozi is still tightly tied to the pole, and at first he screamed and scolded for a while, and the more severely he was beaten by the soldiers, the more fierce the scolding became.

The guards were worried that the Governor would hear the shouting and blame them, so they thought of a way to ask him if his mouth was dry. (To be continued.) )
