Volume 2, Temple and Rivers Chapter 66, En, Love, Return, Report!
Since Du Qiao, who was more than half a hundred, was forced to retreat by the owner of the Peach Blossom Village, there was no easy entry into the Jianghu sect in the wine shop, but it made the people in the Jianghu temples outside the wine shop fight each other, staging grudges and old hatreds, and blood and hatred.
In just half a day, there were several waves of fighting in Taojia Town, and even the soldiers and generals of the temple also participated.
Although it is bloody, it is a small fight for the rivers and lakes.
There are huge rivers and lakes, and hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and if you can really shake it, except for those few famous sects, there are only five great families left.
It consists of the Li and Wu families in the north, the Peng and Pang families in the south, and the Wang family in the southwest.
The five families are not in the right eye, the interests of the current enmity and enmity are uncertain, sometimes the head is broken and the blood is flowing, sometimes the wine is happy, and they marry each other, so that outsiders really can't understand it.
Although the Du family has a famous reputation in the northern rivers and lakes, it is far from reaching the height of the five great families.
In contrast, the temples seem to be mixed, but in fact, they all revolve around several forces in the imperial court. The party, either the party of the king, or kneeling and licking the emperor, does not have the role of being alone and watching the tiger from a mountain.
The evening breeze is light, the peach blossom tree next to the door of the wine shop is very lonely in the dusk, the owner of the peach blossom shop did not drive away the two "woe", let the two of them be at a loss under the dusk, and the sun should be closed after half an hour of sunset, the wine shop is not an inn, the two still have to leave after all, this night is destined to be difficult.
Xiao, the owner of the nine-foot plain shirt, saw the dilemma of the two, and said while cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches: "I can show the two of you a clear way, but I won't be in vain." ”
Qingpao Chen Xiaoyao's eyes lit up: "The owner of the village, please speak, my brother can get out of danger, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”
Zhao Zhengli is embarrassed, he is really a "brother" who sees the truth in adversity, but it is because of himself, and it seems that it is not wrong to go to the soup and fire by himself!
The middle-aged man looked at the handsome young man in coarse and coarse cloth who did not refute: "I am a businessman, so naturally I only need money." ”
Chen Xiaoyao was embarrassed after hearing this: "I'm not afraid of the owner's jokes, the two of us add up to just over two hundred taels, how can I take it?" ”
The owner of the peach blossom village straightened his waist, his nine-foot plain shirt looked like a silk waterfall curtain, and he brushed his sleeves and touched his stubble: "It's not strange to do business on credit first!" ”
Chen Xiaoyao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked: "Please show the way!" ”
While speaking, Chen Xiaoyao also hinted that Zhao Zhengli paid money, Zhao Zhengli has always cherished money, and asked cautiously: "I don't know how much money is needed?" Can I accrue interest on credit? ”
The owner of the Peach Blossom Village and Chen Xiaoyao were stunned, their lives were at stake and they still cared about money, they were really a money fan.
The boss who was not confused thought for a while: "Come with me first!" ”
After saying that, he took the lead into the inner room of the wine shop, and the two followed closely.
There are no candles in the house, the light is very dim at dusk, the furnishings are simple, a bed and a step, a table and a chair, and a wooden door blocked by a cabinet.
The owner Tao Yanghua walked straight to the cabinet and opened it, the old wooden cabinet made a tooth-sore "crunch" sound, the cabinet was full of various tokens, gold, silver and jade, glazed wood, and the owner looked back and introduced: "There are tokens of various sects and factions in the rivers and lakes here, different sects and different prices, you can buy a few more pieces to cover your identity." ”
Chen Xiaoyao was puzzled: "Now that the portrait of my brother is announced to the world, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of the whole body with only a few token waist cards!" ”
Zhao Zhengli also nodded, acquiescing to his statement.
The owner of the farmer who was not confused showed a merchant smile: "Of course, there are other preparations. ”
After speaking, he opened the dazzling waist cards, made a jingling sound, pulled the drawer handle hidden inside, and gently pulled it, revealing a pile of vivid people. The leather mask was lifelike, the two of them only felt their scalps numb, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the nine-foot peach blossom owner in a plain shirt smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a simulated mask, not real human skin!" ”
The two who came back to their senses carefully looked at this middle-aged man who scared the great grandmaster, and their first reaction was to wonder if his face was true?
The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to the suspicions of the two, and introduced himself: "The gold, silver, jade, and jade glaze are from the five major families and famous families, and the price is slightly expensive, starting with ten taels of gold." Ceramic iron sheet wood is an ordinary sect family in the rivers and lakes, the cheapest, starting from a hundred taels of silver. According to the different degrees of realism, the price of the mask varies greatly, the inferior five hundred taels of silver, the meticulous one hundred taels of gold, and the exquisite five hundred gold, and then I will not introduce it, with these two sets of disguises, you two should be able to leave my Peach Blossom Town, if one day is recognized, don't say that it is sold by my Tao Yanghua, if it is implicated, I will not be spared. ”
Speaking of this, his temperament condensed, the two of them were like falling into a thousand-year-old ice cellar, Zhao Zhengli could clearly feel despair at this moment, this strength was far beyond the ordinary great master, if the true qi was pressurized, the two of them would definitely be pressed to the ground, this is the fear of the strong from the bones and soul.
Before Chen Xiaoyao could speak, Zhao Zhengli took the lead and said, "Is there interest?" ”
He compared the closing trend of "six": "It is equivalent to the lowest interest rate of the bank, how about six percent per quarter?" ”
Chen Xiaoyao wanted to bargain, but Zhao Zhengli covered his mouth, smiled and said first: "Deal, six cents is six cents, help me get two cheap Jianghu sect tokens, preferably in the southwest region, and two more detailed masks of 100 gold on credit, do you think of the owner?" ”
"No problem, both the noble and the poor are guests!"
Tao Yanghua, the owner of the village, reviewed a pile of dough like a flip book, and the layers of men, women, and children flashed quickly, and he lightly pulled out two middle-aged skins, the skin texture, pore folds and real people are undoubted, and even the beard and black mole spots are vivid and vivid.
Under the guidance of the owner, the two of them changed their appearance, first cleaned their facial features, then stretched their pores with a hot towel, and then smeared their faces with white lotion, the lotion was lubricated, the skin was slightly cool to the touch, and there was a light fragrance.
It took about half an hour, the two of them completely changed their faces, looking at the strange self in the mirror for a while, and after a closer look, they found that the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes of middle-aged people are clearly visible, which is really shocking.
Chen Xiaoyao seemed to think of something: "The rivers and lakes want you, why should I change my face with Yi Rong?" ”
The middle-aged Zhao Zhengli after the disguise rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "Then you get out, save yourself a hundred gold dollars from wasting Lao Tzu!" ”
Chen Xiaoyao smiled brightly after his scheming succeeded, and stroked the beard sticky on his chin proudly: "Hehe! That's what you said, the money is on your head! ”
Zhao Zhengli hit mercilessly: "If you are a woman, no one can beat you if you are sent to the harem with three thousand beauties."
Chen Xiaoyao said righteously: "It's boring to serve the emperor in the palace, if you have that look, you should harm the entire rivers and lakes!" ”
The two middle-aged rough men scolded each other with each other, completely ignoring the peach blossom owner of the great master realm on the side.
The owner of the nine-foot plain shirt handed over a slip and coughed: "The shop is closed, this is the credit list of the two!" ”
The two took a look, and the slip read, "In the sixth year of Xingtong, on the seventh day of the fourth month of spring, Zhao Zhengli paid 200 gold on credit at the Taohua Wine Shop in Taojia Town, with an interest rate of six dollars per two and per quarter." ”
Zhao Zhengli folded his hands and calculated: "According to the conversion of one gold equal to eight taels, two hundred gold is one thousand six hundred taels of silver, and the interest for one quarter is ninety-six taels, and the year is divided into four seasons, that is, three hundred and eighty-four taels, and the total amount of this interest rate is one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four taels of silver.........
Zhao Zhengli trembled and looked at Chen Xiaoyao, who was bearded: "Otherwise, don't wear fake skins, it's too damn expensive!" ”
Chen Xiaoyao suddenly looked anxious: "You don't know how to pit me, brother, if I go out and meet Du Qiao's old man, I will be intimidated by him and say that I leaked my mouth, wouldn't it hurt you, brother?" ”
Without waiting for Zhao Zhengli to speak, the owner of Peach Blossom Village interrupted: "There will be no refund if you use it." Then he taught in the tone of an elder: "Money is important, life is important? Is it worth spending one or two thousand silver in exchange for precious time to escape? If I hadn't stopped here, those great grandmasters would have rushed in a long time ago, and if they didn't leave, all the forces would have arrived, even if I couldn't protect the two of you, this kindness alone would be more than one or two thousand silver! ”
Tao Yanghua, the owner of the farm, remembered something and added: "There are two peasant cloth clothes in the house, so they should be given as an additional gift!" ”
In a word, it was even more to wake up the dreamer, Zhao Zhengli bowed his hand deeply: "Today's kindness is in my heart, and he will repay the owner one day." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned by his sudden bow, and shook his sleeves: "Those graces, love, and reciprocation don't matter, if you really have a heart, take 18,000 real money is more real than anything else!" ”
“……”
The two of them crossed the pass. Taking advantage of the night to leave the Peach Blossom Restaurant, of course, the last sentence of the owner was a joke, but it also made Zhao Zheng stand up, the great master of the two Jiazi looking for immortality The owner of the Peach Blossom Restaurant is also a master who loves money, and it is not surprising that the wine shop is so dilapidated, if it weren't for the owner of the Peach Blossom Village pointing to the wooden plaque that fell on the roof, the two of them really didn't know that the name of the tavern was "Peach Blossom Restaurant".
Taojia Town at night is not as strict as the big city of the state and county, although there is a curfew, but the control is loose, after the curfew there are also many people wandering around, now the temples and temples of the rivers and lakes from all over the country come here to look for the remnants of the rebellious ministers, no matter how deep the night is, the streets and alleys are still full of people.
No one knew that the two middle-aged rough men mixed in and slowly disappeared at the end of the street, Du Qiao, who had been waiting for the rabbit in the attic at the entrance of the alley, stared at the backs of the two rough men who were getting away through the night crowd, and was stunned, and stepped into the air to follow.
When the peach blossom wine shop was closed, three figures appeared on the roof quietly, it was already dark, and it was impossible to see its face, the owner of the peach blossom village opened a crack in the door and glanced at it: "The three of you are here to ask for someone?" Or do you want me to catch up? ”
The figure in the middle spoke: "Half of each!" ”
The middle-aged man in the nine-foot plain shirt refused very unceremoniously: "That's unfortunate, people leave in the middle of the afternoon, and I have to go to bed too."
After speaking, he closed the door with a bang, leaving three speechless black shadows on the roof of the night sky messy in the wind, and they stayed for half a column of incense before the three of them dispersed.
Outside Taojia Town, the sheep intestine trail, go around, the peach blossoms are everywhere in the night, there are two middle-aged rough men in cloth clothes walking forward, one has a beard, one stubble half an inch, the road is silent, stuffy head, sometimes there is an interest in looking up at the peach blossoms in the dark night.
An old man in a black shirt hung from a distance of more than 100 meters, not in a hurry.
