Chapter 9: The former banker is now a confidant

All the way, Zhu Biao and Du Bai finally arrived in Qinghe County at noon.

After entering Qinghe County, Zhu Biao led Du Bai into the largest cloth shop in the city, which was Dulonggang's industry in Qinghe County on the surface, but secretly it was a stronghold of embroidery messengers.

In the cloth shop, the shopkeeper stood behind the counter, slowly bowed his head and fiddled with the abacus, saw someone walking in, looked up and saw Zhu Biao's face, his pupils shrunk, and his back tightened slightly, but he asked with a smile: "The two guest officers want to make customized clothes?" ”

I saw that the shopkeeper was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, seven feet tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a touch of heroism on his face.

Zhu Biao noticed some subtle movements of the shopkeeper, but a touch of appreciation rose in his heart.

"The time is poor." Zhu Biao said thoughtlessly.

Du Yan on the side looked at Zhu Biao inexplicably, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't say much. The shopkeeper seemed to be prepared, and walked out of the counter and glanced at the other two guys in the store without a trace. The two men understood, and one walked briskly to the outside of the store, while the other took the place of the shopkeeper and stood behind the counter.

After a complete set of actions of the three of them, it seemed to be smooth, without half a minute of procrastination, as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times.

"One by one".

The young shopkeeper replied, and then bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao and said: "The embroidered clothes make the Tianzi secret agent, Jizhou Shixiu, I have seen the son." ”

Jizhou Shixiu !!

Workaholic???

Zhu Biao was suddenly shocked in his heart, and felt that the world was impermanent, in the original Water Margin trajectory, for Zhujiazhuang, the word 'Shixiu' was not a friendly name.

The reason why Liang Shanbo attacked Zhujiazhuang was that Shi Qian stole the rooster and was taken by Zhujiazhuang. Then it was Shi Xiu who wrote to Li Ying, and it was Shi Xiu who led the Liangshan Bo army to attack, and it was Shi Xiu who finally resolved Pantuo Road and broke Zhujiazhuang.

It can be said that Shi Xiu is the number one enemy in the original trajectory who destroyed Zhujiazhuang.

However, at this time and at that time, Zhujiazhuang is no longer the original Zhujiazhuang, and Shi Xiu is not the Shi Xiu at that time, but Zhu Biao will not give up such a talent because of a name.

After a while, Zhu Biao returned to normal, helped Shi Xiu up with a smile on his face, and then followed him into the backyard where the cloth was arriving.

This cloth backyard, but there is no hole, the space is very large, the courtyard rockery is numerous, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, several side rooms are also decorated very exquisitely, if ordinary people come to see, this is a rich man who is greedy for enjoyment to enjoy the place.

Shi Xiu led Zhu Biao and the others to sit down on a stone bench under a big banyan tree, and then made a pot of tea and snacks, and then sat down.

Zhu Biao looked at his cautious and meticulous appearance, smiled slightly, and asked, "You said that you are from Jizhou, but Shi Xiu, who is called a desperate San Lang on the rivers and lakes?" ”

"It's indeed a subordinate name." Shi Xiu responded.

"Why did he go to Zhujiazhuang again and be a secret agent of the embroidered messenger?"

Shi Xiu was sitting precariously, arched his hand towards Zhu Biao, and said: "So that the son knows that his subordinates are originally from Jinling Jiankang Mansion, and because of their love, they have won the nickname of 'Desperate San Lang'." Later, he followed his uncle to the north to sell sheep and horses, but unfortunately his uncle died of illness and lost money in business, so he went to Jizhou and made a living by collecting firewood. Three months ago, my subordinates met the 'Flying Tiger' Hu Daguan who came up to Jizhou to sell horses, and the Hu Daguan saw that his subordinates were clever and had some ability, so they had the heart to accept me back to their posts. Ten months ago, my subordinates bought horses with Hu Daguan and returned to Hujiazhuang, and they were appreciated by the three ladies, and I was appointed as a secret agent of the embroidered clothes, responsible for the affairs of Jingxi Road. ”

"That's the case, Brother Hu and Sanniang have found a good helper for me."

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Shi Xiu's shoulder, and said, "You desperate San Lang don't call one subordinate after another, if you call me a son, I will call you a brother, okay?" ”

When Shi Xiu heard this, he said excitedly: "It's really not an honor for the younger brother to be favored by the son." ”

Du Yan on the side saw that the two were talking very happily, and sighed: "When I was in Huaixi, I heard people talk about the name of Shandong's 'female Zhuge ', these days, I have been listening to Brother Wuzhi and Pan Niangzi, saying that the third lady is so good and so good, and today I heard Brother Shixiu talk about it, so that a certain heart is up and down, I want to meet our housewife as soon as possible, and see the heroine." ”

Shi Xiu smiled heartily and said, "This is very difficult. After the year, the son will marry the third lady, and Brother Du Yan will be able to see him every day. ”

"That's very good." Du Yan also smiled heartily, and after a while, his expression froze, and he said, "How does Brother Shixiu know my name?" ”

Zhu Biao and Shi Xiu looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and then heard Zhu Biao say: "So that my brother knows that there is an intelligence organization under a certain subordinate, called as an embroidered messenger, and my wife who has not passed through the door, the third lady is in charge, and the Shi Xiu brothers are Tianzi secret agents....."

"I never thought that our housewife was more capable than a certain family." Du Yan didn't wait for Zhu Biao to finish speaking, then interrupted.

has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, Du Biao is not a very rebellious person, what should be known and what should not be known, Du Biao has a rod and scale in his heart. When I first surrendered to the account, how could I hear such a secret intelligence organization as the 'embroidered messenger', and it was already a taboo to ask more questions.

Zhu Biao listened to his words, and he also appreciated it in his heart, with such a character, it is no wonder that he can become the number one general under Wang Qing.

"Let's get down to business, how is Second Brother Wu doing now?" Zhu Biao's face sank, and he asked Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu sat down and replied: "Last night, Wudutou was brought to Qinghe County, so I sent someone to the county government to investigate, but this matter is strange, since Wudutou was imprisoned, he was not tortured in prison last night, and the county government was not convicted today, it seems that he is waiting for someone to come." ”

"Huh." Zhu Biao sneered and said, "That Lu County Ling wanted to wait for Brother Wu Zhi, but he miscalculated, and it was me who was waiting." ”

Shi Xiu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Childe, something happened this morning. This Qinghe County's big splash Ximenqing went to the county government prison and saw Wudutou, but he didn't know what he said. ”

Ximen Qing?

Zhu Biao's brows furrowed slightly, but he was calculating in his heart, and after a while, he said to Shi Xiu: "What do you think?" ”

"According to the younger brother's intentions, it is better to get rid of this Ximenqing as soon as possible." Shi Xiu replied with a ruthless face.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he asked with a smile: "Why?" ”

"In the eyes of ordinary people, Ximenqing just relied on hooking up with a widow to commit adultery, and became a big splash of the climate; But in the eyes of the younger brother, every step this guy takes has a purpose; first married Wu Yueniang, the daughter of a thousand households in the county, as his wife and saved connections; Later, he set his sights on Meng Yulou, the widow of a big businessman in Qinghe County, and obtained Wanguan's family wealth; Now I don't know where to go, I worshipped the traitor Cai Jing as a godfather. I'm afraid this guy is no longer satisfied with being a powerful man in Qinghe County. Shi Xiu said methodically.

After listening to Shi Xiu's analysis, Zhu Biao appreciated it a little more in his heart, and said bluntly: "Brother Shi Xiu can analyze it like this in the tenth month of coming to Qinghe County, which shows your ability, but this Ximen Qing can't be removed yet." Now is an eventful time, you just said, this guy recognized Cai Jing as a godfather, if he is removed now, it will definitely attract Cai Jing's attention, and the good situation we have laid out in Shandong will become very passive. ”

"It's the little brother who is not thoughtful." Shi Xiu clenched his fists and said embarrassedly when he heard this.

"Thou hast thought better than many others, and thou shalt not be presumptuous." Zhu Biao patted Shi Xiu's back and continued after a while.

"After this incident, you will be promoted to the White Tiger Envoy, and you will still be in charge of the affairs of Jingxi Road."

When Shi Xiu heard this, he stood up straight, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to Zhu Biao and said: "I will live up to the trust of the son, Shi Xiu will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up." ”

Zhu Biao smiled, picked up Shi Xiu, and said, "Only one point, when you go to Yuncheng County in the future, you will focus more on Dongxi Village and Liangshanbo." ”

"Whoa." Shi Xiu responded, but he didn't know what to do in his heart.

The king of Tota in Dongxi Village, Chao Gai, is a character;

Liang Shanbo, now there are only Wang Lun and Du Qian, Song Wan, three or two big cats and kittens. Where do these need Childe's attention?
