The current descendants of the Xue family in Jinling have two rooms like the Jia family, of which the lord of the long house died early, leaving a son and a daughter, and the eldest son is the current Xue family's uncle Xue Pan.

This Xue Pan didn't like to study, so he only entrusted the identity of the imperial merchant in the family, and he was far away from the household department. Because he was doted on by his mother Aunt Xue since he was a child, he used to be misbehaving in Jinling, doing things only on a rampage, and became a 'Jinling tyrant'.

Therefore, Xue Pan is known as the 'dumb overlord'.

However, Xue Pan's nickname has recently changed, because Xue Pan suddenly loved embroidery a few years ago, and as soon as he thought of it, he wanted to invite someone to tattoo a nine-pattern dragon on his body. And he had just stabbed half of the dragon's head, but he was stopped by his mother and sister who heard the news, and dragged him back.

So Xue Pan is now nicknamed 'Overlord' to 'dragon head', 'stay' to 'half', known as 'half dragon head', Xue Pan still doesn't sound good, and then changed the word, called 'Bantou Dragon'. ’

This nickname is very awkward, and Xue Pan has shown less outside this year, and it is gradually coming down, no matter whether it is a dull overlord or a board leader, few people in Ying Tianfu mention it again.

Now Xue Pan often stays at home, making some dancing guns and sticks all day long, and he doesn't care about the Xue family's business outside. Aunt Xue was helpless, thinking that if Xue Pan didn't go out to make trouble, it would be Amitabha, so he was squatting at home.

Today, for some reason, Xue Pan went to the door of Jia's house and scolded Shan Daliang.

Xue Pan had already left the table at this time, and he circled around Shan Daliang twice, as if he wanted to look at Shan Daliang's body.

In the middle of the sound, Xue Panfang asked: "The surname is Shan, can you be honest, where did the black man who followed you a few days ago, that is, the person with a cinnabar mark on his sideburns, go?" ”

Seeing Xue Pan's questioning look, Shan Daliang said suspiciously: "That person is my nephew, Uncle Xue... But his hands and feet were not clean, and he took the things of your house? ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he stepped forward and grabbed Shan Daliang's front collar, and was about to hit with the other hand, and said angrily: "I asked you where he went, you just have to say!" Do you still want to shield the thief? ”

On the side, Jin Cai looked at it as if it was going to be bad, came in the morning, and wrapped Xue Pan's arm around the fist with both hands, so he stopped it.

Jin Cai scolded Shan Daliang, who was so frightened that he covered his face: "You old thing! I'm dying and still thinking about your nephew! Uncle Xue said that the person asked around a few days ago about Ying Tianfu's support for the bow and crossbow, is there any truth about this? ”

Shan Daliang let go of his hand to cover his face, and when he heard Jin Cai say this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Huh? ”

Seeing that Shan Daliang really didn't know this, Xue Pan stopped scolding and broke Jin Cai and Shan Daliang away.

Xue Pan said: "I saw him sneaky that day, so I remembered it, and yesterday I heard that there was a man with a red beard and a black face who went out of the city, and I thought it was him, and he really disappeared when I came to see it today." The surname is Shan, and you said, the black man explored the southward route of Ying Tianfu's ordnance, and then suddenly went out of the city, is this kind of style not a strong man from Taihu Lake! ”

When Liu Tang was planning a few days ago, he only felt that no one knew, and he never thought that everything fell into Xue Pan's eyes, and taught him to come over at this time to make trouble.

Xue Pan said: "The surname is Shan, you brought the traces of that person earlier, so as not to cause an incident, so that your family will turn into powder, and my family will be affected." ”

Jin Cai only cares about persuasion, and he also complains about Shan Daliang in his heart. He took a good look at the old house in Jinling, if he got into trouble in vain, how could the old lady in Kyoto spare him, his two children were in front of the old lady.

What kind of Taihu Lake water thief, let Shan Daliang hear it in his heart. Seeing that the matter had come to this point, where did he dare to hide anything, so he had to recruit Liu Tangdi in detail.

Hearing Shan Daliang say that Liu Tang was from Jiangnan and Huzhou, he defected to Shan Daliang's side ten months ago and followed him south. Xue Pan slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oops! Sure enough, it is a strong man in Taihu Lake, so isn't Huzhou under Taihu Lake! ”

Jin Cai said anxiously: "Uncle Xue, since this is the case, I will report to the official earlier, then the prefect of Wen is still a person who can do things." ”

Xue Pan nodded, waved his hand and said: "You go to report to the official, I will go south to chase after him, that black man came to my house to find a gap, how can he be told to leave like this!" ”

The matter of Liu Tang has been revealed, Xue Pan no longer stayed on the Jia family's side, left in a hurry, and returned to the Xue family.

When Xue Pan entered the house all the way, he immediately ordered a few sturdy family members and asked them to lead the horses out. Xue Pan found a few whistle sticks at home and divided them, and carried a Pu knife on his back, the blade of which was wrapped in cloth, so that others looked like a stick at first glance.

After getting ready, Xue Pan took people away from Xue's house. When his mother, Aunt Xue, heard the news and came to stop her, where could she catch up.

"This bastard, it's only been less than a year, and he's gone out to go wild again!"

Aunt Xue couldn't help but sigh, and was busy asking people to find Xue Pan back, no matter how bad it was, it would be better not to let Xue Pan suffer outside.

Xue Pan's sister, ten-year-old Xue Baochai pulled Aunt Xue's sleeve and asked, "Mother, do you remember what my brother has been talking about these days?" My brother must have gone because of that. ”

Aunt Xue woke up, so she sent someone to Jia's house to ask Steward Jin Cai and Steward Shan Daliang to come over and talk.

Not long after, these two people came to visit Aunt Xue in the living room of the Xue family. Baochai wanted to listen, so he hid in the back room and listened to the conversation outside.

Jin Cai and Shan Daliang, you said a word, and I told the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening to this, Aunt Xue knew that Xue Pan was chasing Liu Tang, so she was so angry that she slapped the table wood in her hand and scolded: "I know how to do some ridiculous things!" ”

After Aunt Xue scolded Xue Pan, she sat down in the hall with Jin Cai and Shan Daliang and said: "The two of you are also confused, where can you see the official in this matter, and go to provoke a commotion." Listen to me, just hide the matter, even if the government arrests that Liu Tang back, we just have to insist that we don't know him, his surname is Liu, and the government can still ask us if the two families are guilty? ”

Jin Cai suddenly realized, hurriedly confessed, and hurriedly went out, to rush to the front of the government to stop people.

The four major families of Jinling have a talisman, which is the proverb: Jia is not fake, and Baiyu is a horse for Tang Jin......

The four major families of King Jia Shixue can even protect the 'officials' in Jinling, not to mention some minor crimes. Jin Cai was also shocked by Xue Pan's careful work of the Taihu Lake thieves before, so he panicked and went to the yamen to sue the official. Now that I think about it, that batch of ordnance was really robbed by the Taihu Lake water thieves, and it was also because of the incompetence of the government that the matter was revealed, what did they do?

Seeing that Jin Cai went out, Aunt Xue was a little relieved, at this time there was still a Shan Daliang in the house, Aunt Xue was about to serve tea to the guests, but suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Your second master is in Hangzhou?" ”

Shan Daliang said: "I want to go to Hangzhou with the prince of Beijing, I think I should be here in the next few days." ”

Aunt Xue nodded, stopped talking, and only took a sip of tea.

Serve tea to guests.

Shan Daliang consciously said goodbye. After leaving the Xue family, Shan Daliang didn't take the car, just walked to Jia's house with his hands behind his back and bowed his head.

From Xue's house to Jia's house, the walking distance is not close. The more he goes, the more sadness rises in Daliang's heart, his surname is Shan, and Liu Tang is also surnamed Banshan.

"Alas... Liu Tang has a good life, but why do you want to do such a thing..."
