Chapter 10: Cell Fighting

The four people (Chunxi, Shao Ying, and the wet nurse) were busy for a while before they moved more than 20 large boxes into the cellar.

"This money will only stay at our house for one night tonight, and tomorrow it will be transported to the money bank in the city with great fanfare," Fugui'er closed the door of the cellar and patted the dust off his body.

"Ah, it's only one night, and tomorrow it's gone, and I haven't even counted it." Chun Xi'er listened to Fugui'er's words and looked lost.

"This money is dangerous to stay in our reed land, not wealth, didn't you sleep with money on your pillow for two nights, no, you sleep in the cellar tonight, continue to sleep with the money, you can go to the cellar and count the night."

"This money is earned and spent, this woman not only has to manage money but also spends money, you will go to the city tomorrow, buy some rouge gouache, buy a few sets of good-looking clothes, and I look happy to look at the beautiful young master......

"Well, what you said makes sense, young master, I'll go tomorrow and take Shao Ying's nurse with me, but ...... But I'm still reluctant, you don't know what it looks like to be tired of me in order to earn this silver, pity my silver, it's going to be gone before I can count it well...... "Thinking that the money will be sent away tomorrow, Chun Xi'er is liver ache and flesh ache."

"What's the call, this silver is exchanged for a silver ticket to hide, I tell you, if this silver is left at home, you will never be able to sleep in peace from now on......"

"Li'er is such a Li'er, but I still like the feeling of counting money......"

"There will be opportunities in the future, and the next time I will make more money at the horse racing festival than this time, when our sheep are raised, I will sell skewers...... By the way, Chun Xi'er, the money we sold tickets has not been confiscated, tomorrow you remember to go to the city to get the money back, as long as the silver ticket, no silver or copper money, this money does not need to be given to me, you can take it yourself......" Fuguier spoke, and suddenly remembered that there was still money for selling tickets that had not been collected, and the tickets were sold by the Chunxing Restaurant in the city, 24,000 tickets, each of which was a lot of income.

"Young Master, won't you come with me?" Chun Xi'er thought that she would have to take such a large sum by herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"I still have important things, I'll leave in a while, I may not come back tonight, you and Shao Ying will go to bed early, by the way, if you are stunned, tomorrow I will call Shao Ying's nurse to join you, remember to buy a few pieces of good fabric and send it to the seventh sister, that girl is still too young to use rouge gouache, send two pieces of fabric to thank you, by the way, Chun Xi'er, what about Shao Ying's boning knife?"

"Why are you going, young master, looking for a sharp knife, are you going to fight with someone?" The murder in the reed field in the afternoon Chun Xi'er was in front of her, and the little girl was frightened at that time.

At this moment, seeing that Fugui was looking for a sharp knife again, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

"It's okay, I have a knife on my body when I go out, it's not early, hurry up and find me, I have to find the third brother."

After hiding the sharp knife and silver two in his arms, and appeasing Chun Xi'er, Fugui walked towards the third brother's courtyard, found the third brother, and the brothers simply summed it up, and then set up a carriage and rushed to the county seat.

The third brother said that Xu Zhutou was about Chinese New Year's Eve today, and bought a small courtyard in the county town to raise an outer room, and usually rested in the outer room at night, and the two of them did not go to the county government to find Xu Zhutou, so they knocked on the door of the outer room while the sky was gray.

This outer room was originally a Qing Qi person in the green building, and when he was old, no one sought after him and redeemed himself, and made an outer room for Xu Zhukuai, a woman who had stayed in the Fengyue place, this treatment must be much more generous than that small jasper, the two people explained their intentions, and saw that Xu Zhuai had not returned from work, and did not want to come to the door to disturb, but the woman saw that the two of them were carrying gifts, and their words were sincere and polite, but they generously invited the two into the house, and served hot tea, and the two of them waited for Xu Zhutou to return while drinking tea.

A little later, this Xu Zhutou really rushed back in a hurry, and as soon as he walked to the door, he shouted at the house, "Lady, is this dinner ready, I still have to be on duty tonight, and the lady quickly prepared a meal......"

"Xu Zhutou, long admiration, Zhu Cheng, the third son of the Zhu family in the Lower Northern Region, this is my fourth brother Zhu Sheng, your younger sister Zhu Feng is the eldest sister of my family, today my two brothers took the liberty to come to the door, and I hope that Xu Zhutou will not be surprised......"

"Oh, it turned out to be a brother-in-law, please ...... in the house" Seeing that there was a man in the house, Xu Zhukuai didn't say anything but responded in his heart, but after listening to the words of the third brother Zhu Cheng, he smiled and let the two of them into the house while talking.

"I know the intention of the two brothers to come this time, the yamen has made corresponding arrangements for this matter, and the soldiers and catchers have already spread it in this Fengqi County, the two brothers don't have to worry about this matter, go home and wait for the news," the three of them sat down again and changed to new tea, but this Xu Zhutou played an official tone.

"Brother Xu, it's time to eat now, why don't the three of us find a small restaurant to eat and chat," Seeing Xu Zhutou's official tone, Fugui hurriedly interjected.

"I still have to be on duty tonight, don't dare to delay, let's wait for the next time I'm free, if the two brothers don't dislike it, how about dealing with me?"

"In this way, I don't have any preparations for coming to my sister-in-law, so let my third brother go to the street to buy some cooked food and come back, so that I can save trouble," Fugui took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and handed it to the third brother, I don't know if the action of this silver is too fast, or Fugui's clothes are too loose.

"Bang bang bang," the silver and copper coins in his arms fell to the ground continuously.

"Lady, hurry up and wax," there was an oil lamp in the house, but the light of the oil lamp was too weak to see the copper coins on the ground, and you had to light the wax to find the copper coins.

Fugui didn't wait for the candle to be lit, his fat body moved as if he had dropped the silver in a panic, and secretly kicked a few ingots of silver that fell on the ground under the table with his foot, and when the outer room entered the door with a candle in hand, there was still silver on the ground, and the woman squatted down to help Fugui pick up the copper coin on the ground and put it on the table.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law," Fugui said thank you, and quickly put the copper coin into his arms.

The woman didn't say a word, smiled lightly, turned around and walked out of the house, Fugui stared at the woman's walking and twisting waist, her eyes flashing with greed.

"It's said that the four sons of the Zhu family are stupid, it's really good, they don't even know how much silver they have dropped, and they don't know how to ......restrain themselves when they stare at the woman's ass stupidly."

Seeing that everyone didn't mention the matter of dropping the silver, Xu Zhutou didn't say anything, but he was secretly laughing at Fugui'er in his heart.

Seeing the woman coming out of the house, the third brother also went out to buy cooked food, "Hehe, these four brothers really have the means, sending money in this way is not considered bribery, but it also gives Xu Zhutou a benefit," In fact, Fugui kicked the silver just now, Xu Zhutou saw it clearly, and the third brother Zhu Cheng also saw it clearly, but Xu Zhutou thought that Fugui was stupid, but the third brother knew that this was a means of Fugui.

The Qing people made two dishes in the outer room, the third brother prepared a table of cooked food, and the three of them sat down again, but Xu Zhutou did not have his previous official tone, and the two glasses of water and wine were in his stomach, and the words became more.

"The two in-laws came to my place, it must not be as simple as probing the wind, we are all relatives, what needs do we have, but it doesn't matter."

"Hey, it's not a big deal, I just want to know whether Chen San, who was stabbed in my reed field in the afternoon, is dead or alive, and where is it now, after all, what happened in my reed field, if someone dies, it is better to quickly find a monk and Taoist priest to do something to get rid of bad luck......"

"Oh, it turns out that my brother is here for this, Chen San's house has already seen the king of Hades, and the corpse is in my county government prison at this moment, just as bait......"

Completely understood the intention of Fugui and Zhu Cheng, and Xu Zhutou's heart was completely relaxed, and it seemed that the silver left under the table did not have to be returned.

"Brother Xu, wise and martial, you will definitely be able to capture the assassin with this strategy, but the younger brother still has a reluctant request here,

I don't know if it's troublesome? Fugui raised his glass and toasted Xu Zhu's first glass, and said stupidly.

"Brother, let's hear it!"

"Brother Xu, can you send my younger brother to prison tonight, when I came, my father ordered my brother to find out who is behind the scenes, find out who wants to do something to my Zhu family, my father's eldest brother can take precautions, Brother Xu has a fishing strategy here, tonight the assassin robbed the prison or extinguished, he will definitely appear in the prison, I only need to take a look at the true face of the assassin in the prison."

"Oh, this thing...... This matter is really a bit tricky, but since it is the meaning of the father-in-law, we can only do our best as juniors, and let me go to the prison to do some work later, this matter can be done, come, the two brothers have done this cup, and go with me. ”

This Xu Zhutou wanted to refuse, but he thought that the silver under the table was accepted, and he listened to the sound of the silver falling to the ground, at least thirty taels, and he had to pin his head on his waist for several years.

The three of them ate a few bites hastily, and then went to the county government prison, fortunately, the outer house of Xu Zhutou was not far from the county government, and the three of them arrived at the place after talking for a while.

"The two brothers will stay for a while, I will go and do some work, and I will return in a moment." Xu Zhutou settled the two brothers outside the prison and hurried into the prison.

"Fourth, I didn't see it, you still have this hand, where did you learn this, I usually see that the courtyard in your house is also an honest person, this father's way of life, you have inherited seventy-seven-eighty-eight ......"

The third brother saw Xu Zhutou walking away, and pulled Fugui with a look of admiration.

"Hey, do you still need to learn this, just think about it, let's just take out the silver, then Brother Xu will definitely not accept it because of face, after all, he still has some kinship, and he will definitely not do anything if he doesn't collect the silver, now the silver is put there first, our business can be done, the silver is well deserved, our business can't be done, and we will come back when the time comes, and earn a good reputation for collecting gold......"

Hearing Fugui say this, Zhu Cheng felt that his fourth brother was far more powerful than what his eyes saw, and even a little terrifying.

The two brothers were chatting with each other here, and Xu Zhutou, who had left in a hurry, returned with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, the brothers are successful, thanks to the two good brothers who are on duty tonight, the four brothers, we can be sure, no matter what happens tonight, you can't interfere or spread the word, remember, remember ......"

"Haha, don't worry, Brother Xu, I don't have martial arts to intervene in this matter, and I can't even do it in the rumors, I won't make it difficult for Brother Xu, if Brother Xu loses his errand because of me, my eldest sister won't be able to spare me."

Fugui patted his chest and made a guarantee, Xu Zhutou took Fugui carefully into the prison, at this moment Chen San's body was parked in the innermost cell of the prison, although the body was treated with quicklime, but it was still inevitable that there was a bloody stench, Fugui entered the cell next to him, nodded with the cell head who sent him in, and sat down on the wheat straw on the ground.

"Damn, I knew that the smell was so bad, I should have called the third brother in," Fugui turned his head, trying not to look at Chen San, but saw two huge rats, eating the leftover rice residues of the prisoners unscrupulously.

The waiting time is always so long, open your eyes and carefully observe the terrain of the entire prison, really boring and run the Qi Gathering Divine Skill a few times, your eyes are finally sour, these days are too tired, and sleep in the betting shop at night, guarding so much money and not dare to sleep too dead, so the whole person is easy to get sleepy when relaxed.

"Bold thief, I didn't expect you to really dare to come, your Uncle Du has been waiting here for a long time, brothers watch the door, don't let this guy run away, the thief looks at me with a knife......"

The shouts outside the cell woke Fugui up, and he suddenly looked up to see that the originally dim prison had been illuminated by several torches, and under the light of the fire, two fast-moving figures were entangled together.

A catcher is a middle-aged man who has grabbed his wrist in the reeds in the afternoon, and asked the third brother on the way to come, this catcher surnamed Du Mingpeng was originally a Khitan from Liaozhou, and he came to Qizhou to learn art from the master when he was young, and Yicheng stayed in Qizhou to catch the head, and later because of poor management, he was sent to this Qifeng County, although this person is not good at drilling camps, but this martial arts is by no means ambiguous.

At this time, he was holding a Pu knife, but he was walking a fierce road, which should have been a Pu knife held in both hands, and at this time, he was dancing in his hand with a whirring wind and no leak......

His opponent was a man in a night suit, the man was dressed in black, black pants and black shoes, and even the turban and face scarf on his head were black, only two eyes were exposed and showed a gloomy expression.

Fighting with Du Zhutou with bare hands but not falling behind, the two of you come and I see the moves, and in the blink of an eye, they have hit each other more than 100 moves, the man in black is in a hurry to get out, and the moves are gradually ruthless, turning fists into claws, and the moves are handed to important parts such as the joints of Du Zhutou's body, and there is a murderous viciousness hidden in the moves.

Sensing the intention of the man in black, he gave up the previous big opening and closing, holding the handle of the knife in one hand and grabbing the back of the knife with the other, the whole Pu knife was close to the body, and the explosive power of the body made the Pu knife or teaser or push or split, which made the man in black afraid of hand-to-hand combat for a while.

The two battled wits and fought for a while, the breath of this Du Zhutou gradually became a little disordered, and the speed of the move was not as fast and clean as before, the man in black saw this and suddenly took a breath of his hands and alternated his claws, and the attacking Du Zhutou was retreating again and again, and the man in black suddenly retracted his body and swept his legs in an instant, but Du Zhutou had to jump up to avoid this sweep.

All this seemed to be in the calculation of the man in black, I saw him roll on the spot, turn around and raise his hand, "......swish", there was no object, only a white light flew towards Du Zhu's head.

Du Zhutou's sturdy body had not yet landed, and he stood sideways in the air in an emergency, and with a "bell", the hidden weapon hit the Pu knife.

Fugui secretly screamed "so dangerous" in his heart, but he didn't know that the man in black had a back hand, "whoosh...... three sounds tearing the air sounded in his ears, followed by a muffled snort of "Ah ......", Fugui's heart was cold and he thought about it......
