021 Chapter 8 Borrowing Silver 02
Mei Zhanxue said: "Cousin, I have to wronged you." Xiang Chu Qingliu glanced at her, Chu Qingliu knocked the young lady down again, and Mei Zhanxue put all the young ladies on the bed and put down the tent. The two went back to the outer room, blew out the lights, slammed the door upside down, and jumped out of the window.
Mei Zhanxue threw the tray and bowl into the dark, Chu Qingliu brought Yueji back to its original position, and the two of them went to the roof of the West Wing, intending to go back the same way. Chu Qingliu said with a smile: "Your cousin's eyebrows can still be seen to be shaved, why can't the hair be seen?" Mei Zhanxue said: "You are really stupid, she is wearing a wig." I couldn't help but laugh, my feet were unstable, and I stepped on two tiles, making two crisp sounds of "click". The two did not dare to move again, and hurriedly crouched behind their spines.
The door of the west wing rang, and a woman walked out, yawned and walked to the east wing, pushed the door and said: "Miss, Qiuhong, why did you go to bed so early, can this thing with long legs be in your room? After asking a few times, seeing that there was no movement in the East Chamber, he said: "Can you really sleep so dead?" Qiuhong, you thing, pretending to be dead, if you can't run away with your long legs, see that Mrs. will come back and not break your legs. You don't ask, I don't ask, and I go to sleep. "Turned back in a daze.
When I arrived at the courtyard, someone knocked on the door and said, "Is it Sister-in-law Liu?" Madame is not at home, you can sleep awakely. The head of the dart is still in front of him, and he will not be back until a while, so I tell you to tell the young lady to go to bed first, and don't wait for him any longer. ”
Sister-in-law Liu said: "Fourth, what do you have to do so late? Your brother Liu should have come back three days ago when he went out this time, but don't anything happen?" The man outside the door said: "What can happen?" It's the Jingzhou general who is talking to the chief dartman." You are thinking of our brother Liu, so you are suspicious. It's only been a few days, and that's what you want to be?" smiled quietly and walked away. Sister-in-law Liu snorted, muttered a few words, and returned to the West Chamber, closed the door and went to sleep.
Mei Zhanxue said: "The surname of the chief dart head of the Zhengzhou branch is You, who is my father's junior brother and married my aunt. The heads of the branches in various places are also called the head of the dart, my father is called the old dart, and I call him the old man. Let's go ahead and have a look. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "The general number is coming, you want to listen to the letter, this can't be wrong." It's just that why don't you go down and listen generously, it's your uncle's house, and it's not an outsider, what are you afraid of? Anyway, you also exposed your line, and when the morning dawns, who doesn't know that you have been here?" Mei Zhanxue said: "That's different. I showed my face just now, and that's what I want to show, not that I have to show it. I just took the money, can't I kill my cousin and that girl?"
Mei Zhanxue's heart is difficult to say. She shaved her cousin's eyebrows and hair, broke her cousin-in-law's legs, and ran away from home. It's only been more than a month, and I just put my cousin on the bed again and robbed two hundred taels of silver. Even if she is bold, she also knows that she is embarrassed, and she can't wait to see her acquaintances again in ten or eight years. By that time, my cousin had a baby and her hair had grown, and perhaps no one remembered it.
Chu Qingliu said: "If you have to go, I'll go back to the store." Mei Zhanxue said: "It's good for you to go back, I'm not rare." Chu Qingliu knew that even if he went back, this third sister would definitely be fine, but if he really went back, his second brother would be worthless from now on, so he had to say, "Then you lead the way, let's go." "Run to the light in the front yard.
The total semicolon was originally a family, and Mr. You's dart head did not enter the courtyard at the head to receive people according to the courtesy, and changed it to the second courtyard. The central hall and the east and west side halls are all lit up, and the whole courtyard is constantly pedestrianized. Seeing such a formation, even Mei Zhanxue was embarrassed. Even if you invite a thousand-armed Guanyin and extinguish all the lights at once, people come and go here, and they can't stand still, how can they eavesdrop?
Chu Qingliu said: "Third sister, you go back to the store first, I'll wait here for them to disperse, and then try to find out, don't worry, I will be able to find out." In my opinion, it doesn't seem like a big deal, you don't have to worry, otherwise where would that fourth child still have the heart to joke. Mei Zhanxue said: "No, you have to wait for me to wait with you, and I won't be able to sleep when I go back." ”
Chu Qingliu said: "Then you just watch them here, don't come close, so as not to startle the snake, I will come when I go." If they disperse, you can follow the people who came from the general number, find out where they live, and wait for me in Miss You's room. Although Mei Zhanxue didn't understand his intentions, she still nodded in agreement.
He said that he would come when he went, but he was never seen again. After waiting for about half an hour, after the hall finished speaking, You Darttou accompanied the two people out, Mei Zhanxue recognized them all, one surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Dechao, and the other called Bao Qishan, both of whom were shrewd and capable figures.
The three of them stood in front of the door and said a few more words, and then the two dart masters with semicolons led the way and took them to their lodgings to rest. Mei Zhanxue didn't dare to approach and followed from afar, but fortunately, she was familiar with the way, but she didn't lose it. Seeing the four of them saying goodbye, Zhang and Bao entered the house, and then turned around and went to the roof of Miss You's east wing.
This time the wait was not long, Chu Qingliu arrived, he had changed into the clothes of a semicolon dart master, and he also carried a teapot in his hand. Mei Zhanxue smiled and stretched out her hand to pick it up, Chu Qingliu flashed sideways, handed over the shirt and bag on her back to Mei Zhanxue to carry, and asked, "Do you recognize the people who came?" Mei Zhanxue nodded and said the names and surnames of the two of them. Chu Qingliu said the word "good" and asked: "Who are these two people good with in the general number? It doesn't have to be friends of life and death, the kind of righteous brothers, as long as they are not bad, they can get along, and there is no hatred or hatred." Mei Zhanxue said: "Zhang Dechao and Hu Qinglong are good. Chu Qingliu asked two more questions, and then motioned for Mei Zhanxue to lead the way to the residence of the two.
The lights in Zhang and Bao's room are still on, and they haven't slept yet. Chu Qingliu said: "You wait in the room, I'll just go down alone." Mei Zhanxue was willing to listen and jumped down first.
When he came to the front of the room, Chu Qingliu tore off the masked green scarf, pointed to Mei Zhanxue to the shadow on the wall, held the teapot with both hands, walked to the door, and reached out to knock on the door. Mei Zhanxue boasted that she was bold and reckless, and so far she had to admire the boldness of the second brother after all, so she hurriedly went to the shadows to hide and wait for eavesdropping.
Someone in the room responded: "Who is it?, does the chief dart head have anything to say?" Chu Qingliu said: "Junior brother Liu Chuqing, bring a pot of new tea to the two eldest brothers." The house said: "There is Brother Lao Liu, there is no need for tea, just now a housekeeper sent a pot, and I haven't finished drinking it yet." Mei Zhanxue was amused in her heart, waving her hands at Chu Qingliu, looking at his jokes.
Chu Qingliu hesitated: "Actually, the little brother sent the tea just an excuse, I originally wanted to ask the two of you to bring a message back to the general number." I also knew that it was too late, and I should come back tomorrow morning, but I had to come to Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong early tomorrow morning, so I had to come. Now that they are asleep, they don't have to get up. I asked the two of you to go back to the general number to tell my cousin Hu Qinglong, telling him to take a leave of absence from the old dart head in June and go home. "Thanks to Mei Zhanxue, an inner ghost, I can still speak in a good way, although there are still a lot of sloppiness in it, and I can't stand careful consideration, so there is no way.
One person said: "I'm going to go to Hedong tomorrow morning? Why didn't the old dart head say it just now?" seemed to be very surprised. Another person: "Lao Bao, you don't know the temper of Mr. You's dart, he doesn't say it, it's because he thinks there will be no accident and doesn't want to worry about the old dart." What's the use of saying it? The promised deal has to be done. Bao Qishan said: "It's better to ask clearly, if there is anything wrong, we really have to stop it." It's a big deal to pay someone a little silver, and it's better than having an accident. With that, he got up and opened the door, letting Chu Qingliu in.
Chu Qingliu looked at his appearance, knew it in his heart, put the teapot on the table, and said, "Brother Bao, this dart is not big, the guest is a magistrate who has returned to his hometown, and he only guarantees three thousand taels of silver." The two eldest brothers also know that this kind of official who is neither poor nor rich has always been a dart game, but it is only because the northwest area has been too quiet recently that he has left our dart game. He just said the words "Hedong Taiyuan" intentionally or unintentionally, which caused the two of them to be surprised, so they simply made up for it, saying that the northwest is not very peaceful.
Bao Qishan said: "Lao Zhang, look, how is it, I really called the old dart head to talk about it." Brother Liu, even if you only escort 300 taels of silver, you have to be as careful as 30,000 taels in our business. If you open a dart game, even if your family is rich, you can't live by making up for it, as soon as this brand falls, everything is over, who wouldn't dare to use you to take a dart?" Chu Qingliu said respectfully: "Thank you Brother Bao for your advice." ”
Zhang Dechao said: "On the Northwest Road, not only is it not peaceful, but it is simply not allowed to eat for our bodyguards." Qinzhou's Guliang Dart Bureau, Yan'an Mansion's West Wind Dart Bureau, this month is a succession of darts lost, or the big darts and small darts are thrown together, so to speak, the dart car simply can't go out a hundred miles. These two families didn't dare to publicize it, they didn't know much outside, and they really couldn't stand it recently, so they came to the old dart head to discuss. ”
Chu Qingliu was stunned and said, "How can this be good? Let's have nothing to do with the dart game, right?" Zhang Dechao sighed and said: "There is nothing to do at the moment, whether there will be anything in the future, but it is difficult to say." Chu Qingliu said: "Everyone is exchanging their lives for food, and some people are not allowed, just fight with them." ”
Zhang and Bao said: "It's not so simple as working hard, we have a family and a business, how can we work hard with them? These fourteen branches, there are almost 2,000 people in the dart division alone, and most of them have wives and children, and if there are no wives and children, there are always parents, right? ”
Chu Qing said in a way: "What did the old dart head say? ”
Zhang Dechao suddenly said: "What are you doing? What is Wu Qinglong's nickname? What weapon does he use? Who is his master? Speak!" Stretching out his hand and pulling out the long sword under the pillow, Bao Qishan has also used a short knife to block the door.
Chu Qingliu can't answer the above three questions, so it's better to take a chance than to be divided. He walked to the stool and sat down, and said, "Since I have been seen through by the two of you, I will no longer deny it." In Shihan, the Lower Rebellion Alliance, I specially asked the two of you to bring a message to your old dart head, saying that everything in the northwest is done by our gang, sooner or later, we must find your bureau head. The way your bureau should deal with it is nothing more than delisting and closing business, one of which is to join forces to confront and confront one, and then to suspend business after one confrontation, and third, to fight to the end and break the net. Mei Lao Dart started from scratch, a hundred battles to prosper, will not be afraid of fighting with people, the difficulty lies in the large population of the dart board, how to preserve is the key. Shi came here, and only moved a pot of tea and a set of clothes in your bureau, but he did not hurt one person and took away a thing. ”
"Everything you said was done by my help, and it wasn't so new. When asked how the old dart head responded, the two of them had shut up in time, and they had nothing to gain from the next, and their identities were also drunk by the two, which was considered a tie.
"If you two let you go, I'll leave, and we'll not tear the skin yet. If you are determined to do it, you have to call friends outside the hospital, and you will never use less to more, in vain. It's just that in this way, the Kainan dart game will become the first enemy of our faction, and it will come out in vain on behalf of the dart boards. ”
