Liu Jizu wrote them down one by one, and went home with the money. After breakfast, he gave the money to his grandfather, who was shocked when he opened it and saw that it was so much gold. Their family had never seen so much money before, and they couldn't help but be excited, and finally his grandfather tied his pockets and said, "Step-ancestor, you and your father will go to the tooth man together in a while, and do this thing, it's not a good thing to put so much money at home." ”

After saying that, he took out the seven taels of gold ingots that had been cut out of it and hid them in his house. found a broken bag and put the money bag in it, carried it himself, and let Liu Zhu go to the front and Liu Jizu to the back.

The Ya people are from the neighboring town, and their ancestors have been doing this for a living. The three of them walked for almost an hour before they arrived at their house. The town is much better than their village, and the place is a little more open. The main street in the center of the town is a market every Monday and Saturday, and there are many shops on both sides, but today it is not a market, and there are not many people.

The three of them came to the small shop of the tooth man, which contained only a table and a few broken chairs, and a middle-aged man was sitting at the table drinking tea. Seeing that Liu Laohan's family was coming, the man was overjoyed, and hurriedly let Liu Laohan in, and said: "Uncle Liu, you can come, how are your relatives considering? I went to see the house, and it was also counted in our town, and the field ......."

Liu Laohan waved his hand and motioned for the tooth man to come to the back room to speak. The tooth man understood that there was a play, closed the door of the shop, and led the three of them to the inner room of the shop. There was only one kang and a few maza in the back room. The tooth man let Liu Laohan sit on the kang, and Liu Zhu and Liu Jizu had to sit on the maza.

Liu Laohan said: "My relative agreed, but he didn't want to leak the money, so he entrusted you to buy the farm house first, and then hand it over after a while, you see how it goes." ”

The toothed man rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay, but the good commission will be calculated separately." ”

Liu Laohan smiled, "You kid monkey spirit monkey spirit, don't worry, mention more, and give you a commission of thirty-six taels of silver." ”

When the tooth man heard this, he immediately smiled, this single transaction was enough for their family to live in the town for more than a year, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will be tight-lipped and will never reveal the slightest news about the buyer." ”

"Then let's make a covenant. ”

"Of course, let's do the rules. With that, the tooth man brought in the paper and ink from the outside.

He wrote these documents well, and he wrote them in one go, and they were written in a short time.

Liu Laohan asked Liu Jizu to go over and take a look, and Liu Jizu nodded at his grandfather when he saw that there was no problem.

Seeing this, the tooth man said: "Uncle Liu, you can rest assured that our ancestors have been doing this for generations, and it has been passed on for several generations, relying on reputation, and I plan to pass on this industry!"

Liu Laohan said with a smile: "After all, it's better to be careful when you help others! ”

"Don't worry, it's not safe to put so much money at home, so I went with my son in the afternoon to settle the money and bring the title deed to rest assured. After speaking, Liu Laohan pressed his handprint with him.

Liu Laohan put away the contract paperwork, took out the broken money bag containing gold from his arms and handed it to the tooth man. The tooth man opened it and looked at it, but he was not surprised, it seemed that he had seen the money, weighed the gold, and when he saw two pairs, he took the money in front of them, and wrote them a receipt.

The tooth man smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, you are really cautious enough, the money bags are so broken! I'm going to find Steward Zhou, and I won't leave you to eat, I don't worry about putting so much money at home!"

Liu Laohan also said that he was busy at home, so he said goodbye and went home.

Liu Jizu had dinner in the evening, came to Wu Lun's house in the dark, and talked about buying land today.

After finishing speaking, Wu Lun took him to the back door of Mr. Tian's house, and Lao Liao Tou was waiting by the door. Seeing Wu Lun and them coming, he hurriedly took them to the back hall house, where Zhao Tian and his daughter were already waiting. Old Liao Tou closed the door and then guarded the door.

Zhao Tian said politely, and then went straight to the point and said: "The Yaren sent the money this afternoon, and Steward Zhou has already given the house deed and the land deed to the Yaren, and the money is not kept by our mother and daughter under the pretext of safety." He said that he would leave for Xinzhou tomorrow, I wonder how my brother is preparing?"

Wu Lun said: "Don't worry, we are all ready, you can set off tomorrow." We will pretend to be robbers to rob you halfway, and then we will knock Steward Zhou and the coachman unconscious, rob them of their money, and then take you to escape. I've arranged a place to stay, so you can wait there in peace, and don't leave the house, or I won't be able to keep you safe." ”

Zhao Mingzhu was quick and asked, "Then how long are we going to stay there?"

"At least one month, after a month, it is estimated that the rumors will pass, and my step-ancestor and I will pick you up and take you out of Xinzhou. ”

Zhao Tian said: "Then there are two brothers, is the money enough?"

Wu Lun hurriedly said: "Enough! Go and rest, it is estimated that we will start early the day after tomorrow." So that we have time to get to the predetermined place, and when we do it, you have to act like a little bit, so that the butler and the coachman don't see the flaws. ”

Zhao Tian and Zhao Mingzhu knew that the stakes were very high, and they both made solemn promises, and Wu Lun and the two took their leave.

When he returned to Wu Lun's house, Wu Lun said to Liu Jizu: "You go back and explain to your family, you will go out before dawn tomorrow, let them take care of themselves." You put on your gear and your bag, and you carry your gloves on your back. I've got food and water ready, and forage for the mules, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Liu Jizu nodded and said goodbye to the master and went home, telling the family that they would leave tomorrow, so that they must do what they said before.

Although the family was reluctant, they knew that Liu Jizu was doing the right thing, and they all cooperated with him.

Before dawn the next day, Liu Jizu cleaned up, his mother got up earlier to make breakfast for him, and his grandfather and father also got up to see him off. Liu Jizu was moved again, lowered his head and ate breakfast quickly, and secretly went out of the house amid the repeated instructions of his family.

He went straight to Wu Lun's house, and Wu Lun was already waiting on the side of the road in a mule cart. Liu Jizu got into the car without saying a word, and Wu Lun drove off in the car, and when they left the village, the genius was bright. The two of them did not say a word all the way, until they passed the post station, and then walked ten miles before stopping, and by this time it was already dark.

Wu Lun drove the mule cart into a sparse mountain forest, and after twisting and turning, it stopped in a hidden place. Wu Lun said: "Okay, we can only go here, let's endure here for one night today." Your master has prepared two quilts for us, and tomorrow at dawn, we will act. I'll do it, driver, Steward Zhou will hand it over to you, start steady. If there are people coming from both sides, it's up to you to come, just knock them all out. ”

Liu Jizu nodded, unloaded the mule, tied it again, gave it water to drink, prepared forage, and then went by the way to facilitate it before returning to the car.

Wu Lun took out some food and a gourd wine from the secret compartment under the seat, and there were actually two roast chickens, a dozen braised eggs, a small jar of oil milk curd and a dozen steamed buns. Liu Jizu thought to himself that the master would really enjoy it, and at this time, he would prepare delicious food.

Liu Jizu tore a chicken leg and said while gnawing: "It's great to follow Master out and have chicken to eat!"

Wu Lun also tore a chicken leg down, ate two bites, and took a sip of wine before saying, "Hmph! Count your boy blessed, this is raised by your master." I plan to wait for the rumors of this matter to pass, and then I will go back to Shimen with your sister to care for the elderly, and by the way, I will send you and Mr. Tian's family. These chickens can't be taken away, so they can only be eaten, and by the way, they also got some blood, which was sprinkled around when the time came, confusing the officials. ”

Liu Jizu had seen chickens killed at home, thought of a question, and asked, "Won't chicken blood coagulate after a long time?"

Wu Lun smiled and said while eating: "Take the blood, keep stirring it with chopsticks, it will not be easy to coagulate when stirring the blood, just shake it evenly when you use it." ”

Liu Jizu couldn't help but admire it very much, and had a full meal with Wu Lun.

After eating, the two of them were on one side of the car alone, wrapped in a quilt, and curled up for the night. Early the next morning, Liu Jizu woke up. He woke Wu Lun up, put the mule in the car, and the two changed into the clothes they bought from Qiu Er. Those were two sets of extremely ordinary dark shirts, mostly worn by the laborers in the city, and the color and style were obviously different from those worn by Wu Lun and Liu Jizu that day.

Wu Lun's clothes are exquisite, most of his coats are light cyan clothes, almost all of his coats are this color, and Liu Jizu only has a set of hemp gray clothes when he goes out. It seems that Qiu Er's observation is really meticulous, and he does things very properly, and the clothes he chooses are deliberately very different from the two, so that it is not easy for acquaintances to see the flaws through the clothes.

The two were about to cover their faces, when Liu Jizu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered the greased and powdered scholars in the county, and said, "Master, let's just put on makeup again, so that they can't recognize us." ”

"How to put on makeup, we haven't prepared any materials!"

"We can burn some charcoal! Smear our faces with charcoal, draw our eyebrows, and then bend our waists and nod our heads, so that no one can recognize us. ”

When Wu Lun heard this, he felt that this idea was good, so he and Liu Jizu found some dry branches and lit a small fire. Liu Jizu waited for the fire to go out, found some black charcoal, and wiped it on his face and hands. When Wu Lun saw it, he helped him smooth it out a little, and then used a burned wooden stick to draw his eyebrows thicker, and finally covered his face, and then Wu Lun did the same.

After the two of them dressed up, they bent their waists and shrunk their heads to look at each other, but they couldn't recognize each other, and they couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction. They tied up the mule cart, grazed the mule, and then came to the side of the road together, hid behind a tree, and waited for Steward Zhou's car.
