Chapter 276: Old Man's Trick
Chapter 276: Old Man's Trick
When Huang Junguo, the prefect of Xiangyang, saw Yang Shucheng, he had been an official all his life, and he had never experienced any winds and waves, he was not afraid, and immediately shouted:
"Daring fanatic, you're looking for death."
Yang Shucheng took the blade prepared in advance and said, "Whether I am a fanatic or not, I don't know, believe it or not, I will kill you now." ”
This Huang Junguo immediately became honest, and he said, "Hero, what do you want?" ”
Yang Shucheng didn't feel funny when he saw him change so quickly, and said: "I don't ask for money, I don't kill people, I want to save someone." ”
"Who are you saving?"
Yang Shucheng said: "I saved Chen Haitao with one of his apprentices." ”
That Huang Junguo said: "This is not good, he is the first offender of the White Lotus Sect, I can't let him go." ”
Yang Shucheng took another step and said: "One life for one life, he is a common man, and he is very cheap in your eyes, then I will kill you." As he spoke, he took the blade and sent it to Huang Junguo's neck.
That Huang Junguo saw that although the blade was thin, it was very sharp, and the lives of these people were cheap, but the lives of the prefect were valuable, and if they traded with them, they would definitely not calculate, so he said:
"Hero, you can sneak into my heavily guarded prefect's yamen, of course you have the ability, but I can't let him go."
"Why?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm not the prefect."
Yang Shucheng said: "You are not the prefect, so who are you?" ”
The man said, "I'm just a stand-in. ”
Yang Shucheng sneered: "You lied to a three-year-old child, you are not the prefect, you sleep on the prefect's bed." ”
The stand-in said: "You don't know this, the true prefect has been the prefect here for fifteen years, and he has offended many people, and many people want to come to him for revenge, which is really unguardable." In order to prevent someone from assassinating, he found me as a stand-in. ”
"Then how do you sleep here?"
"Alas, if you don't do it so really, how can you fool you heroes."
Unexpectedly, what such a decent prefect did was really incredible, and he was really convinced. Since he is not the prefect, he can't do anything to force him, so he said: "You report to the real prefect, just say that I have come, and in a few days, I will come again, and tell him not to play tricks, otherwise I will kill him with a knife." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll bring your words."
It was useless to stay here, Yang Shucheng turned around and left, and there was really no wind in the room at all. The body and mind thought, "I lost my composure and deceived this idiot." ”
Yang Shucheng is now superb in swordsmanship, Taiqing light skills are superb, come and go without a trace, in this heavily guarded prefect, as if entering a no-man's land, he is like a civet cat, left and right, and soon left the prefect's yamen, those guards don't know what happened in the house.
The night was dark, Yang Shucheng was used to walking at night for a long time, casually entered a hotel, quietly walked into a room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Yang Shucheng got up, ran out of the window, climbed over the wall, and came to the street.
Yang Shucheng had breakfast, just wandered the street, and came to the lively Zhaomingtai Street as usual to play. I saw a bunch of people in the distance, cheering constantly, could there be any tricks?
Yang Shucheng had nothing to do during the day, so he walked towards the pile of people, and there was really a trick inside.
I saw an old man inside, sitting on a small stool, and there was a red-necked sand pot on the ground in front of him, and I only heard him say: "Whatever you put in it, you can get double the things." If you don't believe it, you try again. ”
Sure enough, a young man didn't believe in evil, so he took out two taels of silver and said, "If I put in two taels, can I conjure four taels?" ”
"It can change, it can change."
"Is it all mine?"
"It's all yours."
The young man was still not at ease, and said, "You don't want a penny?" ”
The old man raised his eyes and said to the people around him: "There are so many people who have witnessed to you, and you still don't believe it!" ”
The young man looked at so many people around him, and now he was relieved, so he squatted down and put two taels of silver into the sand pot, only to hear the sound of "bang" and fell into the bottom of the jar, and the old man was busy covering the thin mouth with his right hand.
The old man covered the jar and said in his mouth: "Change." ”
As soon as he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand and said to the young man, "It's four taels now." ”
"I don't believe it."
The old man said, "You reach in and catch all the money." However, there are only four taels, and there is no more. Who told you to only cast two taels? ”
The guy immediately put his hand in and took it out, but he couldn't do it, the guy obviously got four taels of silver, but he couldn't take it out, he was so anxious that his face was red.
The old man smiled: "Little brother, you are too greedy, your hands are clenched into fists, the mouth of the can is so small, how can you take it out." You use two fingers, clip one, take out one, clip another, take out another. ”
As he said, the young man took out one, stretched it in again, and took out one, and took out a total of four taels of silver. The young man said happily: "It's all mine." ”
"It's yours. Take it away, and don't interfere with my tricks. ”
At this time, a beggar sat on the side and looked at it, and said, "I have a chicken leg in my hand, put it in, can I take out a roast chicken?" ”
The old man said seriously: "This can't be. ”
"Then you're not lying, are you?"
The old man said: "One chicken leg can become two chicken legs, but not one roast chicken, how can I deceive people?" ”
was arguing, at this time, two Qing soldiers squeezed in, and the surrounding people had been with them for a long time, and they were not very afraid, but they were a little far away.
The Qing soldier also saw a little bit of the door coming out on the side, he chattered, and he didn't know what to say, and took out a gold earring from his arms, obviously he had just robbed the people in the city.
He squatted down, put the gold earrings into the jar, looked at the old man and said a word, the old man didn't understand, but understood the meaning, so he covered the mouth of the jar with his hand, and said with words in his mouth: "Change." ”
He made a gesture to Qing Bing and said, "You can reach in and take it yourself, it is guaranteed to be two gold earrings." ”
When the Qing soldier saw the old man say something, he couldn't understand it, but he understood that he was asking him to reach in and get it.
Qing Bing reached into the jar by himself, but as soon as he reached in, he screamed "ah".
The people who watched the excitement around knew that this Qing soldier was holding two gold earrings, and they all regretted that when they went out today, why didn't they bring a gold ingot, otherwise it would be a pair of gold ingots, and they would be rich.
At this time, the Qing soldier was so happy that his face changed color, and he saw that he stretched out his hand, but there was a small snake biting on his finger.
I saw this little snake, the whole body was red, obviously a poisonous snake.
This Qing soldier came from the northeast, who had ever seen a poisonous snake, and when he saw it, he was so frightened that he screamed, and his right hand swung sharply before he put the little poisonous snake away.
He fell to the ground on his back, and immediately saw black blood flow from his fingers, and then his entire arm turned black, apparently poisoned. This little snake is really powerful, some people recognize it, it is said to be a five-step snake, and the poisoned person only needs to walk five steps before falling to the ground and dying.
Sure enough, the Qing soldier fell to the ground, struggled for a while, and then did not move.
Another Qing soldier saw that his companion was poisoned, and he picked up his knife and slashed at the old man.
The people around to watch the excitement are in big trouble now, and they all run faster than rabbits with oil on the soles of their feet.
The old man hurriedly shook his hands and shouted, "Don't do anything to me, these gold earrings are not his, and now they have become poisonous snakes and have nothing to do with me." ”
Qing Bing listened to his explanation, and he couldn't understand it anymore, and when he saw that his companion was dead, he thought that he had killed him, and the knife in his hand did not stop, and continued to cut at the old man.
The old man saw that he couldn't explain clearly, and he was also concerned about his life, so he couldn't explain it, so he turned around and ran towards the alley.
