The day after the fundraiser, Yinzhen quietly left Tongcheng. According to Yinxiang's meaning, he should take a detour to Anqing Mansion and make a show of bells and whistles in the province to socialize, but Yinzhen said: "There are many people in the province, and the villain has a tongue, what is the non-birth?" Now there are rumors in Beijing officialdom, saying that the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince when he releases his mouth, and we can't afford to delay it. It's serious to leave Nian Qianyao here to exchange money, and go back early - I really can't stand the heat here. ”

So a group of people packed their luggage, and Yinzhen Yinxiang took Gao Fuer and Kan'er Dog to pretend to lift people into Beijing on the plain dress trail, and the rest of the honor guards followed the officers and soldiers on the main road, and stayed overnight at dawn, and Dai Duo contacted each other at both ends.

Looking at the ground of Jiangxia Town on this day, Gao Fu'er became happy and said to Yinzhen: "Fourth master, I can have a good nightstay tonight." We walked all the way, avoiding the official road, this Jiangxia Town villain ran a single gang when he was a child, and it was the most lively. Not only are there thirty-six lines, but there are even opera gardens, evacuate and evacuate tonight......" Yinzhen rode on the mule and was so tired that he was sore, shook his head and said: "I never watch a play, and I don't want to enter the opera garden in a big way, I just want to sleep cleanly." Gao Fu'er didn't dare to say anything when he heard it, but Yinxiang was interested, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother is really, I didn't see the dog looking at you?" I get up every day, stay in the dark, avoid the heat and walk, and I can't stand it. ”

"That's good," Yin Zhen seemed to be preoccupied, and reluctantly smiled, "If there is really a show, you can just go and watch it." Simply tell them to wait for us at the first stop. The eighty people followed, and Brother went to the play, and it was inevitable that it would be spread out, and Ama was not happy when he knew it. As soon as the words fell, the dog jumped up and down with joy.

Laughing and walking all the way, I saw Jin Wuxi falling tired birds returning to the forest, and there was a big town in front of him. Yin Zhen slowly got off the mule, threw the reins to the dog, and said, "Old Thirteen, get off the horse and walk, your legs are sore, and you can take two steps." Yinxiang jumped off the horse with a saddle and said with a smile: "The fourth brother only cares about government affairs, and the bows and horses are all deserted, like I am training in Gubeikou, I don't get off the horse for three days, and I nap on the top when I am sleepy!" As he was talking, Yin Zhen turned his face and asked, "Gao Fu'er, didn't you say that this place is lively?" How does it look lifeless? ”

When everyone looked, Zhuangzi was already approaching, and the sunset had sunset, and it was the time to make dinner. It's a strange thing that such a large town, there are only a few cooking smokes, and under the wheat field trees at the entrance of the town, there are no people who set up a dragon gate array for dinner, only in the golden sunset afterglow in the west, a patch of crows rise and fall and flutter. Yin Zhen felt a pang in his heart and said: "Seeing this situation, I think of the Black Wind and Yellow Water Shop, don't you suffer again, right?" "Nothing." The dog blinked and said, "There is no disaster here, where are there so many black shops in densely populated places in peacetime?" ”

"I'll ask." Gao Fu'er was also surprised in her heart, and when she saw a few people who looked like Zhuang Ding coming from the wheat field, she stepped forward and asked herself, "Master, have you eaten?" By the way, is this Jiangxia? Several Zhuang Ding stood still, looked at Gao Fu'er, looked at Yinzhen and the others behind him, nodded and said, "It used to be Jiangxia Town." Our Liu Ye bought it to make a village, and now it is Liu's house. Who doesn't know about the nearby two hundred miles? You're afraid it's out of town, right? ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but be stunned, Yinxiang was also taken aback, so obedient, this town is comparable to a medium-sized county, how much does it cost to buy it? But at a glance, you can see that they are not lying, a small part of the main street has been demolished, scaffolding is being built to build the gatehouse of the main house, a large number of houses to the east have been destroyed, rows of high-rise houses are dark and dreary, very much like a newly built warehouse, there are wooden poles not far from the front of the gatehouse, and there are "dead wind" lamps hanging on it, some of these Zhuang Ding are holding fire folds, some are carrying sticks, it seems that they are here to light the lights and patrol. Yinxiang couldn't help but praise: "What a trendy faction! I bother you to pass the owner, we are the filial piety of the Beiqiu, lost the way, this time it is already dark, so I will borrow the treasure village to rest overnight, and go on the road tomorrow morning. ”

"Listen to him!" The first laugher said to everyone, "Let us be the owner!" Let me tell you, these of us are all guarding the village in the outer courtyard, how many layers are separated from Liu Ye's second housekeeper! According to what I said, don't bother about this as soon as possible, ten miles to the north, there is a dry shop. All the way is an official road, and the night is cool and just walking, so you don't miss the night dinner there. A Zhuang Ding next to him said: "Wang Tou'er, seeing that there are a few white-faced scholars, how many empty houses there are in Zhuangbei, and it is not limited to where they stay overnight, which can be regarded as yin." Wang Tou'er said: "You are not sensible. Uncle Ren's second uncle in Beijing is here, and he is also bringing a group of Suzhou girls, the weather is so hot, there is an inconvenience to come and go, the master's temper, we can afford to be offended? Even they have to suffer, am I not kind? ”

While they were talking, Kan'er blended into the crowd without saying a word, and quietly stuffed a bag into the hand of a Zhuang Ding, and the man pinched it with his hand, it was copper, and then stepped forward and smiled: "Stop!" Wang Tou'er, just asked people to collect a few days and days, so loyal to protect the country? According to me, who walks on his back to his house? There are two rooms in the old cemetery of the Zhangjia family in the northwest of Zhuang, leading them to live in, as soon as the door is closed, they are outside the village, what is the matter, what does it have to do with us? The king was groaning with his hands behind his back, and the dog went around and stuffed a bag of money, so he changed his words and said, "Then do it." Old Wangtou, you take them to the village, and we are waiting for you in the land temple in the west of the town. ”

"Okay!" An old man agreed, coughed dryly, lit the lantern in his hand, and beckoned Yinzhen and said, "That master, you come with me." ”

It was already dark, and the old king took them and a group of five people and Lu Lu, crossed the Zhai River, and went northwest to the town through the streets and alleys. Yin Zhen looked at the dark and silent streets and alleys, and sighed with emotion: the silver in the treasury is less than 40 million, but the gentry below are rich enough to rival the country, on the one hand, the Kan'er dogs are dead, but the salt merchants are hard to give up: this is the prosperous era - the hidden worries in it make people shudder! Thinking about it, he asked, "Old man, what is the name of your owner?" ”

"Liu Ba Nu." The old king replied, "The first seven are all sisters, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support them, so I take such a cheap name." Alas...... Blessed are you! "Cough again. Yin Zhen asked again: "What do you mean by the 'Outer Third Hospital' just now?" The old king smiled bitterly: "The people who originally lived in this town had no houses to sell, no land to plant, and the eighth lady took in three courtyards, as tenants during the day, and guarding the village at night, all of which were from the outer three courtyards, and the servants around the eighth lady themselves were also divided into three courtyards, called 'three courtyards'." They are all minions, divided into three, six, nine and so on! The eighth lady has a terrifying hand, not to mention a few of you lifting people, the governor of the province is still holding hands and telling jokes! This uncle who came tonight, I heard that he is a relative of the uncle under the Nine Princes of Beijing City, and Uncle Ren is the son and daughter of the eighth master, and the prefect here has come to accompany the guests! ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help but wake up in horror: It turns out that this Liu Ba Nu and the ninth brother still have such a deep relationship! Looking back at Yinxiang, he didn't know what his face was in the shadow, he only kicked the stone under his feet, Lu Lu pounced forward, and then returned to the dog in disappointment. After walking for a long meal, I finally came to a large compound in the northwest corner of the town. It seems that it used to be a guild hall, with a stage in front of it, and what is the couplet written on the couplet is "three points of tripod" and "a book", which is not clear in secret, it is obviously a meeting of Shanxi merchants and merchants to worship the temple of Guan Fuzi, only it is Shinto, Liu Ba Nu did not dare to alarm, everything remained as it was. The atmosphere here is very different from the front town, people come and go in front of the door, the glass melon lantern slips under the dripping eaves, the snow is bright, there are one or two flutes from time to time in the courtyard, and there are people in the distance carrying large buckets of bath water to the courtyard.

"Don't speak," the old Wang Tou confessed again, "follow me through this courtyard, and behind you is the old tomb of the Zhang family." Everyone understood, and Yuguan followed. At the door in the northeast corner, the old king shook his head and asked for the key to open the door, waved his hand, Yinzhen came out first, and then Gao Fuer's dog Kan'er also went out of the door. The old king said: "You see, the two rooms over there, which were originally lived by the people who came to see the grave, have straw mats in them, and they are quite clean. There are many of you, and you are not afraid of ghosts. ”

The wind in the wild blew, lifting the corners of Yinzhen's robe, and he suddenly felt a coolness, because he smiled: "I don't haunt with a ghost, and there is a ghost who haunts death, what are you afraid of?" Old man, go back! Before he could speak, he heard a "bang" in the corner door, and when several people looked back hurriedly, it was Yinxiang who was poured a basin of bath water on the head of a person in the east house, and a girl scolded angrily:

"The surname is Hu, how can there be such a shameless person as you in the world? A woman takes a bath, and you go left and right at the door! I've never seen a woman, go back and call your mother to relieve you! ”

Several people were stunned, but they heard Yinxiang smile and said, "It's me." I look at this couplet on the door, are you still scolding? The woman was probably very embarrassed, and only after a while did she whisper, "...... I don't know, I thought it was again...... What to do? How much money should I pay you? Yinxiang said: "I'm not rare in money. You look so smart, I can't bear to beat you. What to do? Why don't you follow me as a wife? Then the woman slammed the door shut and whispered, "You're not a serious person!" Yin Zhen was impatient when he heard this, so he said: "Brother Xiang, just be long-winded, come on, Ming'er still has to hurry!" ”

Yinxiang entered the house like a chicken in soup, the old king had already lit a candle, and when he came in, the dogs covered their mouths and smiled. Yinxiang glared with a smile and said, "What are you laughing at, are you eating croaking chicken ass eyes?" This is called fragrant soup bathing, and you don't have this beautiful blessing! The old king said: "You settle first, I'll see if there is any leftover food in the kitchen, and I'll cushion your heart." Yin Zhen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for you, and I've been busy for half a day." We brought some snacks and rested after eating some indiscriminately. Yinxiang had already changed his clothes, and seeing that the old man was kind-hearted, he took out a few golden melon seeds from the horse coat and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Take it." Don't stare, we're not Jiangyang thieves! You should be rewarded for being so kind - what are you afraid of? When someone asked, they said that they were rewarded by the people of Beijing's Sibeile Mansion. You don't have to get anything, you're a subordinate yourself, and you have a black face for nothing! ”

"Thank you...... Xie Ye's reward ......" The old king held the dazzling golden melon seeds in both hands, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, and stammered: "If you don't need to eat, it's just that." If you want to be hungry, it is not difficult to eat something tonight. To say that, he ate the poor eighth master, and didn't he pull it to his field? "I went with a thousand thanks.

Yinzhen has a habit of sitting in meditation every night before going to bed, using a few mouthfuls of snacks, and then sitting against the wall and silently. The dog was a child, neither could sleep, scratching his ears and cheeks for a moment to be quiet, because he saw Yinxiang lying on the grass mat on his elbows, looking at the roof beams, the dog asked: "Thirteenth master, are you still thinking about that mother-in-law?" "You're very careful, and you know a lot!" Yinxiang smiled, turned his face and said, "I'm thinking, how much land does this surnamed Liu have, and we must pull it to his land when we eat?" Gao Fuer smiled and said: "Don't listen to the old king's fart, he didn't say it, coax the master!" ”

Yinxiang and Gou'er Kan'er were guessing riddles and laughing on the side, which made Yinzhen laugh, opened his eyes and smiled: "I'm meditating here, you just blindly mess around!" ”

"Fourth brother, don't blame us," Yinxiang also smiled, "In the end, you are not an immortal, you don't have this determination." Yinzhen was about to answer, when suddenly there was a "click" in the south courtyard, very like the sound of firewood splitting, which seemed strange and harsh in this quiet night, and even Gao Fuer, the dog of Kan'er, was stunned and jumped up like a spring. Then I heard a thick voice shouting: "Alan little slut, what the hell are you that dare to trample on my old Hu?" A third-class **, Wang Bafen pretends to be your mother's cunt, what serious, do you expect to set up a chastity archway for you? ”

Only then did Yinxiang know that the girl who had just splashed her bath water was called Alan, and this old Hu was drunk and wanted to find her moldy head. Then I heard Alain sobbing and answering: "Who is **?" Who is the king eight fans? Didn't you say when you bought me, don't you sell your mouth or your body? Before the words fell, Lao Hu yelled again: "The one who bought it is mine!" What are you? Even if you choose to go to the ninth master, it won't be your turn to suffer - you are so serious, how can you flirt with that little white face? Ye Fang was in a hurry to go to the banquet, and he didn't care about conditioning you, and he hid from the first day of junior high school to hide for more than fifteen? Drag this *** material out! Then I heard a few people break in and drag the crying Alan out, and he didn't know what to do.

Yinxiang was so angry that his face was white, and he jumped up and went to touch the waist knife in the horse jacket, but his hand was not inside, and he took off the horse whip hanging on the wall, and turned around and left without saying a word. Yinzhen listened to the old man's scolding for being a meat offender, and even Yinxiang swept in, and couldn't help frowning, seeing that his younger brother was going to cause trouble, he shouted in a calm voice: "Old thirteen! What's the deal with this bastard? Small your identity! Go back and tell your ninth brother, can't you cure this bastard thing? Yinxiang stared at the corner door viciously, stood still, his face was blue and gray, and he paced back and forth with a whip: this fourth brother is his backbone, and he can't disobey his orders. But the matter on the other side of the hospital was not finished, and the leather whip sounded in the crying and scolding, and Alain's miserable cry was sandwiched. It took more than a dozen whips to stop, and then I heard the old Hu's tone and said with a wicked smile:

"Selling your mouth or not selling your body? Wow! Anyway, I can't sleep this time, so I will pick up a nice one and sing it to my master! ”

There was no sound for a while, and the courtyard seemed to be tuning the strings, and after a long time, the zither gradually rose, and there was a whimpering singing voice:

The fireflies fly across, and the grass wet forest secretly swims in the green phosphorus...... Looking at the flowing water and high mountains, the hometown road is far away, and the news of the spring of the daylilies in the high hall is locked for the Guanhe. Wandering late, Fang Xin was still shocked, and Du Yu was bloodstained with a sound......

"Not good, not good!" Lao Hu said loudly, "Change a happy one!" Then Alain paused and changed his singing:

Talk about the spring as a career, sleep in the garden and a few trees and flowers......

"Do it all over again!" Lao Hu stopped again, "Sing it to me - Yunfang Ten Tests Lu Dongbin!" ”

"Ten Attempts in Cloud House Lu Dongbin" is the story of white peony flirting and stealing Dongbin's fairy roots, and the famous Fengyue drama is the most obscene. Yin Zhen couldn't help but be angry when he heard Lao Hu do this, gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, and said: "Brother Xiang, this is too unusual, teach him a lesson on behalf of your ninth brother!" ”

"Yes!" Yinxiang agreed, took off the field gauze robe, lifted the whip and left. Yin Zhen ordered: "Gao Fu'er prepare the luggage, let's walk in a while." You two will accompany me to the corner gate to answer you. After that, the three of them took Lu Lu out of the door, only to see Yinxiang standing shirtless at the door of his feet, facing the door, kicking it violently, the door was not very strong, "click" a sound, it had collapsed abruptly, Yinxiang shouted: "Bastard, it is a bully!" And he threw himself in.

There are lanterns hanging in all four corners of the courtyard, and they are very bright. Yinxiang came in from the darkness and felt that the light was dazzling. When he looked at it calmly, the man named Lao Hu was a fat black man, stripped naked and half-leaning on the stone slab in the courtyard, with black hair on his chest like grass, drunk and drunk, and was telling the two mothers-in-law to meet on the ground according to Alain, who refused to sing. At first glance, Yinxiang broke in with a whip, Xue Lian also seemed to be a piece of flesh blooming, and the people in the courtyard were frightened, Lao Hu sat up and asked the woman: "Where is this wild mongrel?" Is it someone from your farm? ”

"Traitor!" Yinxiang has been angry with his brother and eunuchs since he was a child, and he started from the word "mongrel", and he couldn't listen to this the most, where did he wait for them to calmly ask questions? Screaming and scolding an arrow step to jump up, splitting the face is a whip! Lao Hu: "Mom! With a miserable scream, he rolled over, covered his bloodied left cheek, and shouted: "Come on!" Robbers have robbed! Are the little guys at the door dead? Where does Yinxiang care, only the leather whip in his hand is loud, and the old Hu is pumped violently, and the wife of a yard girl and the Lehu woman who bought it cry and call her father and mother.

The courtyard was full of uproar, and the entourage guarding the door outside had already been alarmed. After a burst of shouting, more than a dozen people ran in with sticks, and they beat around Yinxiang. But Yinxiang, as a prince, adheres to the ancestral motto and does not abandon the bow and horse since he was a child, and the master is a big internal guard, a first-class good player in the world, and he loves martial arts, and his skills are among the best in Ago. These slaves bullying the people are the formula, where are the pheasant methods in Yinxiang's eyes? Fighting, jumping and jumping, an ordinary horse whip is like a swimming dragon, in a trance, fluttering and shining, and the whip is full of skin and flesh. Yinzhen was dazzled at the door in the right corner, and the dog bit his fingers and exclaimed. After a while, the dog came back to his senses and said, "Fourth master, let's put the reeds?" ”

"You can't let the dog go unless you have to." Yin Zhen said coldly, "The Thirteenth Master can deal with them!" ”

But more and more people from outside are coming in. Yinxiang was very alert, grabbed Lao Hu and held it in his arms, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted: "Stop the!" This roar like thunder shocked everyone, and they all stopped, only in a semicircle to force Yinxiang. Yinxiang stroked the yellow belt around his waist and sneered: "You say that the master is a thief? Check this out! Lao Tzu Xing does not change his name and sits or change his surname, he is the thirteen beys of Beijing City, who love Xinjueluo Yinxiang! Today, Brother Jiu will clean up this minion! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and the people with sticks and knives and whips were motionless, like clay sculptures. Just as he couldn't open the intersection, Yinxiang Gege smiled and said: "Lao Hu, I have been fighting for a long time, and I haven't asked you for your name, what is your name?" ”

"Hu Shixiang!" Lao Hu was only transferred to Beijing from the Black Mountain Villa, and he had never seen Yinxiang, where could he believe that this stunned boy was the thirteenth elder brother? Tilting his head in agreement, he rolled his strange eyes and asked, "How is it?" As soon as the words fell, Yinxiang spat on his face: "You also deserve this name!" Is this the rule for answering the master's words? As he spoke, he turned his face and asked, "Which of you is the brother-in-law surnamed Ren?" I bought this Alain! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to say anything. Ren Bo'an's brother-in-law had already arrived, mixed in the crowd, he had seen Yinxiang from afar in Beijing, but tonight's events were too coincidental, and he was also drunk, and he felt like it was incredible in a trance, so he only asked everyone to wait and see, but he didn't dare to reply. Hu Shixiang didn't know how to get up, and said loudly: "Don't sell it!" You are not the Thirteenth Master either! ”

"Not for sale?" Yinxiang snorted and designated Alan with a horsewhip, "This girl is buying!" You escort me to Beijing, drop a hair, and I'll tell you to erect a flagpole - I'll talk to Brother Jiu when I go back! With that, Hu Shixiang rolled out of the distance.

Hu Shixiang turned over, pointed at Yinxiang and shouted, "You are all dead!" With a few feet of yellow cloth, you believe that he is a brother? Take! But everyone had secretly learned at this time, how dare they act rashly, Hu Shixiang jumped to his feet and scolded, but he was hugged by Alain, who was shrunk aside, and suddenly took a bite. Hu Shixiang hugged his leg in pain and whirled, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Yinxiang tucked the leather whip into his waist, patted the ashes on his hands, sneered and went to himself, and said as he walked: "Do you want to die?" If you don't look at Brother Jiu's face, you will have already seen Lord Hades this time! ”

That night, a group of five people left Jiangxia. At noon on the third day, I took a horse at Wulipo, and after inquiring, I had just arrived at the edge of Liu Ba Nu's territory. Gao Fuer and the others shook their heads in surprise, and Yinzhen Yinxiang was shocked when he saw that the Liu family was so rich.
