Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Suo Quartet, Pudu Sentient Beings
It was said that Chu Mofeng let Li Dacheng go, rode a horse to the city, and muttered as he walked: "This time there are no three hundred yuan, no, I have to go and make up for it, otherwise I will lose it, and I will send out three hangings of money, which adds up to six hangings, no, no, I lost." ”
I happened to come to the door of Zhang's mansion, and remembered that Li Dacheng said that Zhang Xun likes to collect weapons, and then shouted at the door of Zhang's mansion: "Sell the gong, sell the gong, the ancestral good gong." After shouting a few times, the door of Zhang's mansion opened, and a man dressed as a servant came out, and said to Chu Mofeng: "My lord invites the young man to come in and talk." ”
Chu Mofeng followed this person into Zhang's mansion, walked to the main hall and found a man with a fierce face sitting inside, smiled at Chu Mofeng and said, "The old man heard that the young man has ancestral weapons for sale, I wonder if the young man can let the old man take a look?"
Chu Mofeng smiled and said to Zhang Xun: "It's not impossible for the old gentleman to take a look, but you have to listen to me quote the price first, if you agree, let's look at the weapon, if you don't agree, then you can only leave." ”
Zhang Xun laughed when he heard this and said: "Okay, good, I have never bought things Zhang Xun has always been a bid for me, and it was really an eye-opener for me to meet you today, okay, you say, what is the price?"
Chu Mofeng opened his mouth and came: "Five hundred guan or the equivalent of gold, silver and jade will do." Zhang Xun laughed louder when he heard this, "What can be worth five hundred yuan, I agree with this price, if the things you take out are not worth this price, don't blame the old man for beating you out." ”
Chu Mofeng immediately took out the Burning Sky and handed it to Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun took the Burning Sky and looked at it carefully, did it flash with joy on his face, and then Zhang Xun returned the Burning Sky to Chu Mofeng and said: "Cheng, it looks good, but I don't know how it is in other aspects, you see the main beam of my roof, made of iron birch, the hardest wood in the world today, it is said that the sword cannot leave a mark on it, I don't know ......"
Before Zhang Xun finished speaking, Chu Mofeng got up and clicked the chair under his left foot, jumped at the level of the main beam, and then picked up the burning sky and smashed it against the main beam, only to hear a deafening sound, the main beam of the house was smashed into a dent by the burning sky, and at this time Chu Mofeng also fell to the ground, and said to Zhang Xun: "The old man knows now." ”
Zhang Xun looked at the dent on the main beam and gasped and said, "Sure enough, it's a magic weapon, Cheng, you go with me to get the money." After that, he took a servant to lead Chu Mofeng to the backyard, Chu Mofeng observed the surrounding terrain while walking, and when he came to the door of the warehouse, Chu Mofeng said to Zhang Xun: "Fifty yuan of money, four hundred and fifty yuan of gold, silver and jade, can you see it." ”
Zhang Xun heard this: "Yes, it's all in one place anyway." Then he opened the door of the warehouse and said to Chu Mofeng: "Put the weapon inside, I'll get you the money, you pick the gold, silver and jade yourself, and I'll take a look at it after you pick it." Then he walked to the right, and pointed to the left and motioned to the servant to lead Chu Mofeng over.
When he came to the room on the left where the gold, silver and jade were placed, Chu Mofeng was instantly pierced by the light emitted by the treasures in the room, and saw that there were seven or eight shelves in the room, and there were all kinds of gold, silver and jade piled up, and the servant said to Chu Mofeng: "Trouble the young man to choose quickly, the master will come over in a while." ”
Chu Mofeng rolled his eyes and said to the servant, "You find a bag for me to put in." Then the servant took a cloth bag and handed it to Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng hurriedly put it in the bag, and after a while, Chu Mofeng shouted to the servant: "You come and help me get it, I want to take a treasure on the top of the shelf." ”
The servant walked over without knowing the fraud, and at this time Chu Mofeng quickly reached out and slashed at the servant's neck to knock him unconscious, and then dragged him aside, and then pretended to pick it up, at this time Zhang Xun came to the house with a bag containing fifty yuan of money, and said to Chu Mofeng: "Is the young man selected? ”
When Chu Mofeng heard Zhang Xun shouting at him, he said, "Please come here, your servant has fainted here, come and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xun hurriedly ran over to check the servant's condition, and at this time, Chu Mofeng slashed Zhang Xun with another knife, and then filled the bag with some treasures, then turned around and walked to the door, picked up the money bag that Zhang Xun had brought, closed the door and swaggered out of Zhang's mansion.
When he came to the outside of the house, Chu Mofeng quickly rode on the wind and ran towards the inn, and when he arrived at the inn, he found that the three of Qingli had come back one step ahead of him, and there was a lot of money on the table, Chu Mofeng put the burden in his hand on the table and said: "Three sisters, please leave Hanyang County with these things first, wait for me in Lanzhou, I still have three rewards in my hand that have not been disposed of, and I will go to Lanzhou to find you when the matter is over." ”
Then Chu Mofeng told the three of them about Li Dacheng and today's affairs in Zhangfu, and the three of them hurriedly packed up their things and rode out of the city and walked in the direction of Lanzhou.
At this time, in the warehouse in the backyard of Zhang's house, Zhang Xun and his servants woke up quietly, and found that the person who sold the gong had disappeared, and the previous two bags were nowhere to be found.
At this time, Chu Mofeng waited in the inn for a long time and did not see anyone from the official mansion come to the inn to check, so he had to take out another reward order and look at it, only to see that a woman was drawn on this reward order, her name was Liu Feiyan, and the crime was only written as a murder and robbery, and the reward was thirty times. Chu Mofeng thought about it for a long time, and decided not to care about Gu Zhen'er for a while, and to meet this Liu Feiyan for a while.
Out of the inn, Chu Mofeng ran to the tea stall, because he could find out a lot of news in the tea stall, the tea stall at this time was full, and it was easy to share a table with others, Chu Mofeng hurriedly called Dr. Tea to serve tea, and then made a gesture to the people who shared the table, and then lowered his head and listened to the chatter of the people around him.
I only heard a person next to me say: "You know that Liu Feiyan, who robbed the rich and helped the poor, said that he was locked up in the government prison and will be beheaded tomorrow." Chu Mofeng interjected when he heard this: "Since she has been caught, why is there still her reward order on the notice at the door of the mansion?"
This person glanced at Chu Mofeng and said: "Little brother, don't you know, this Liu Feiyan is a thief in the eyes of the government, but in the eyes of many poor people, she is a female Bodhisattva, this person only robs the rich, never harasses the poor, originally she had several partners, but it is said that one of them betrayed them, and then you know, except for her, everyone else died, even the traitor died." The reason why the government posted the reward order was mainly to hide people's eyes and ears, for fear that the people would rebel if they found out. ”
Chu Mofeng asked casually, "Then how did Your Excellency know?" The man glanced around and said, "My cousin is in the prison of the government office, and he told me these things personally. ”
Chu Mofeng drank his tea thoughtfully, and his eyes looked at the mansion in the distance.
It was night, Chu Mofeng was dressed in a black suit, walked to the vicinity of the mansion, jumped on the roof with an arrow, stood on the roof and searched around, and after a while, he found that there was a doorway in the backyard of the mansion in the distance, and from time to time there were people wearing clothes with the word 'prison' painted on the back, and after locking the target, Chu Mofeng immediately ran here.
When he came to the door, he found that there was no one around, so he picked up the door and flashed into the door, went down the stairs, and faintly listened to someone talking, and listened carefully to one jailer calling another jailer to drink, and then heard the jailer behind him say that he wanted to come up and go to the thatched house, and then Chu Mofeng hurriedly flashed out of the door, hiding aside and waiting for the jailer to come up.
After a while, a jailer covered in alcohol walked out, Chu Mofeng quickly flashed behind him, pressed a dagger against him and said, "If you don't want to die, don't shout, tell me how many jailers there are below, which cell is Liu Feiyan locked in?" At this time, the jailer felt the chill from the tip of the knife behind him, and most of the wine woke up, and said to Chu Mofeng tremblingly: "Daxia spares his life, there is another jailer below, and there are only three cells below, and there are no people in two rooms." ”
Chu Mofeng stunted him with a hand knife after hearing this, then dragged him to a hidden place and tied his hands and feet, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and then flashed into the door, down the stairs, and found that there was a jailer sitting opposite who had drunk too much, who was resting on the table at this time, Chu Mofeng walked up to him and knocked him unconscious with the same technique, and then tied it up and threw it aside.
Coming to the door of Liu Feiyan's cell, Chu Mofeng shouted inside: "Liu Feiyan, Liu Feiyan, I'm here to save you." ”
At this time, the woman sitting inside turned her head and said to Chu Mofeng, "Are you here to save me or to kill me?"
Chu Mofeng smiled and handed her the bounty and said, "If I kill you, I won't knock out the jailer and talk nonsense with you, this is your bounty, you can take it yourself." ”
Liu Feiyan saw his reward and said with a smile: "This girl's life is only worth thirty times, and Hanyang County is really picky." Then he said to Chu Mofeng: "Say, what do you need me to do to get me out?"
Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything, I'll give you a new place to live, it's up to you whether you want to or not." ”
"Then let's talk about it and see if you can convince this girl. Liu Feiyan straightened his hair and looked at Chu Mofeng with his eyes, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from his eyes.
"Horses are prepared for you outside, you go out of the city to the north through Lanzhou to the west, to the Yanyulou in Zhangye County, I will give you money for you to live there, my companion and I will rush back in five days, time is running out, if you agree I will take you away, if you don't want you to wait for tomorrow to ask for beheading." Chu Mofeng glanced at the staircase and said.
Liu Feiyan stood up and said through the grille: "The conditions are good, give me a reason." ”
Chu Mofeng sighed and said, "I just don't want innocent people to die in vain, I have already saved one in the morning, and I am not missing one of you." ”
Then Chu Mofeng opened the prison door and said to Liu Feiyan: "Please decide for yourself whether to come out or not." ”
Liu Feiyan saw that the cell door was open, so he walked out and said, "Okay, I'll go to Zhangye." Then he got out of the prison with Chu Mofeng, climbed out of the wall of the mansion, rode the horse prepared by Chu Mofeng, and ran towards Zhangye overnight.
Looking at Liu Feiyan's distant figure, Chu Mofeng turned around and walked back to the inn, took out the last reward and glanced at it, then went to bed to rest, thinking to himself: Let's go and meet this Gu Zhen'er for a while tomorrow night. Then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
