Chapter 4 A Few Lives, A Temptation [Ask for Collection! Ask for Recommendation Votes!]
The carriage of the Zhuang Mansion slowly moved away.
The atmosphere in the stadium was a little awkward.
No one thought that this Mr. Thirteen would really endure this breath.
Among them, the most complicated mood is Fang Yi.
Fang Yi thought that he could make a lot of money, but at this moment, he was a little panicked.
"This eldest brother of the Song family ......"
"Who's your big brother?"
The steward of the Song family looked at the ancient books in his arms and said in a sullen voice: "Ten taels of silver, do you want to sell it or not?"
Fang Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Didn't you say a hundred taels just now?"
The steward of the Song family sneered and said: "What kind of treasure, can it be worth a hundred taels? Just give ten taels of silver, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, don't sell it!"
Fang Yi panicked in his heart, he had already offended that Mr. Thirteen, and he also knew in his heart that the value of this ancient book was difficult to determine, except for Mr. Thirteen, I am afraid that there were few people who were willing to bid more than ten taels, so he stomped his feet ruthlessly, gritted his teeth and handed it over, but his heart seemed to be dripping blood.
"Boy, these ten taels of silver can be put away. ”
The steward of the Song family mocked: "Your broken book, I don't think it's worthless, the reason why I gave you these ten taels of silver is to earn a name and let the family know that the ancient books that Mr. Thirteen wanted were just bought by our Song family in person." ”
Fang Yi was so distressed that in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an, only Mr. Thirteen could pay a high price for ancient books and antiquities, but apart from Mr. Thirteen, in the eyes of others, it was worthless, but it was not too valuable.
Looking at the Song family steward and the others who were in the distance, Fang Yi couldn't help but snort and spit out.
"A bunch of crooks, sooner or later they will die halfway. ”
——
The housekeeper of the Song family put away the ancient books and put them close to him.
This one hundred taels of silver was indeed given to him by the young master, so that he could buy this ancient book.
However, he is also a shrewd man, and when he saw the opportunity, he bought it for ten taels of silver, and the remaining ninety taels went into his pocket.
He was so excited in his heart that as the steward of the Song family, the Song family gave him only a few taels of silver every month.
But this thing is not good to eat alone, so he hesitated, took out ten taels of silver, and said, "You can divide it." ”
These entourage, naturally, also understood what this meant, and each received silver, patting their chests and guaranteeing it.
The steward of the Song family was satisfied, although he took the lion's share, but everyone divided the silver taels and poked them out, according to the rules of the Song family, no one could escape.
"It's done, it's time to go back to Xuancheng. ”
"Steward ......" At this moment, the young man who had just distributed the silver taels hesitated a little and said, "Let's go to the road at the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley?"
"That's right. The steward of the Song family glanced at him and said, "Aren't we from here?"
"But......" the little guy hesitated.
"What do you want to say?" the Song family steward smiled, he knew that this kid had always been clever.
"I have heard that this Mr. Thirteen has always been ruthless and resourceful. The little guy was a little frightened on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "He won't intercept us halfway, right?" I heard that the officials in Fengcheng have all taken his money, and he can suppress the murder case if he calls him a brother and sister......
"What can you think of, can the young master think of?" The steward of the Song family was quite disdainful, and said: "The young master has already mentioned it, this thirteenth gentleman has always been black, we have lost his face, he relies on his power in the government, maybe he will send someone to intercept and kill ......"
"Then we should take the path. The young man's face became more and more frightened, and he said: "Xuanfeng Valley Mouth is a flat avenue, and it is also the closest to Xuancheng, they must intercept us over there...... The trail is rough and not easy to walk, but it's better than losing your life. ”
"You're smart, but you're not smart enough. A smile appeared on the face of the Song family's steward, from the body of this young servant, it was like seeing himself at that time, and he couldn't help but imitate the posture of the young master, and said leisurely: "This Mr. Thirteen is not an ordinary person, you can think of a detour, he can naturally think of us to take a detour, so now Mr. Thirteen's subordinates are waiting on that path to ambush us, but ...... They are doomed to wait. ”
"This ......"
"The young master said, how can you distinguish between fiction and reality?"
The steward of the Song family laughed and said, "My people from the Song family should take the grand road!"
The fear in the young man's heart suddenly disappeared a lot.
Sure enough, he is still his own young master, and he is even more resourceful, and he has already expected the other party.
The others laughed and laughed just as much.
But the laughter stopped abruptly.
Because on the avenue ahead, there was a burly and strong figure, with a cold face, and the person who came was not good.
"The Netherworld Huangquan Road is about a bit wider than this road. ”
——
Inside the carriage.
Steward Sun trembled.
Zhuang Ming's expression was indifferent, but he suddenly showed a slight smile.
He drove Qianyang to rob the road at the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley, which was expected for a long time.
"The Song family, smart is smart, but it's a pity that he is smart. ”
Zhuang Ming muttered to himself: "Although I am smart, I really can't hold my breath, I just broke my Xuancheng, and I sent someone to Fengcheng." ”
The scene just now can be regarded as a temptation and a provocation.
The other party broke his game in Xuancheng, obviously not satisfied, and wanted to continue fighting.
And Zhuang Ming's deeds in Xuancheng and Fengcheng are not secret, especially in Xuancheng, playing with several major families, the other party, as a member of the Song family, must have enough understanding of him.
It is precisely because he has enough understanding of himself that he can break his situation in Xuancheng.
The person who can break the game is indeed not a mediocre person, and he can naturally calculate his own style of behavior and make a response.
However, Zhuang Ming has also calculated, and the other party will definitely respond according to his own style.
So he thought about it a little deeper.
So he intercepted people at the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley.
——
Xuancheng.
Song family.
In the hospital.
The two sat opposite each other, with a chess game on a stone table in the middle.
The old man was already sweating on his forehead and fell into the disadvantage.
The young man's face was like a crown of jade, and he smiled and groaned.
"Young master, the third steward hasn't come back yet. "Someone came to report.
"I haven't come back at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. The young man waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
"It seems that this temptation was lost to the other party. The old man sighed and said, "I was defeated back then, and you ......."
"It's just a temptation. The young man smiled and said, "Grandpa, do you guess that the reason why this Mr. Thirteen broke my game is because he despises me or values me?"
"This ......," the old man hesitated.
"Generally speaking, what would someone do if they offended him and were afraid of being intercepted?" the young man asked.
"Ordinary people will pass through the road at the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley, leave immediately, and return to Xuancheng. And smart people, who will be worried about interception and killing, avoid the big road at the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley and take the small road back. The old man replied.
"Yes, ordinary people take the Xuanfeng Valley Pass, while smart people take the path. The young man said, "But I expected that he would take me as a smart man and go to the path to intercept and kill." So I went the opposite way and asked people to go to the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley, but they were intercepted by him......"
"Either he treats me as a metric, so he goes to Xuanfeng Valley to intercept and kill me. ”
"Either he thinks I'm an extremely smart person, and he knows that I expected him to go to the side road to intercept and kill, and he will go the opposite way and come back to the big road, so he sent people to the big road to intercept my people. ”
"I've broken his game, and he shouldn't despise me, so it's the latter one. ”
"This person is really not easy to deal with. ”
The young man said it slowly, but he couldn't hear the slightest solemnity, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Thirteen, of course it's not easy to deal with. The old head of the Song family sighed: "Otherwise, how could I bow my head to him, a young man in his twenties?"
"Don't worry, I'll let him be planted in my hands sooner or later. The young man fell for a moment and said indifferently: "The trap I prepared, he will take the initiative to walk in." ”
"I lost. The old man looked at the chessboard and sighed.
——
Fengcheng.
Shoin.
Zhuang Ming was holding an ancient book in his hand, which was Fang Yi's classic.
In addition to Fang Yi's classics, Qianyang also found more than 100 taels of silver.
"Childe. Lu He jumped in from the courtyard wall, glanced at Qianyang and Yin Ming, and immediately bowed in front of Zhuang Ming.
"Ready?" Zhuang Ming looked at the ancient book without raising his head.
"It's all ready, and the other ......" Lu He muttered, "Steward Sun has a problem. ”
"Today, for this ancient book, I can see it. Zhuang Ming closed the ancient book, raised it, and said: "It must be Steward Sun and the Song family in Xuancheng, who have a little contact." ”
"Childe knows?" Lu He looked up, but he was relieved.
"Today I asked Qianyang to kill people and snatch books, Steward Sun's eyes flickered, and he was a little flustered, he couldn't hide it from me. Zhuang Ming said slowly: "I'm sure there is a problem with Steward Sun, there are some things, it's easy to speculate, I'm going to ask for this ancient book, the people of the Song family came to rob the ancient books, it can barely be said to be a coincidence, but that kid from the Song family, with a few lives to provoke me, is also a temptation to me......"
"I've heard that. Lu He nodded and said, "It's a shame that Lord Qianyang disposed of the corpse, but it saves me from asking Lord Zhao for a favor." ”
"If this kid from the Song family hadn't figured out my habits, how could he test me with a few lives?" Zhuang Ming said: "When I go out this time, I only take Qianyang and Yin Ming, usually I have always been cautious, no matter what I do, among the two of them, one person must be left to guard my side, so Xuanfeng Valley Pass and that path, I can only choose one to intercept them...... If I hadn't known in advance that I only had two guards by my side, how could they have tempted me in such a way?"
"I see. "Lu He followed Gongzi's side, and there was also a period of time, with Gongzi's temperament, if he brought himself this afternoon, then Qianyang blocked the mouth of Xuanfeng Valley, and he would be sent to block the path, and the two roads leading to Xuancheng were intercepted, so there was no danger of missing.
"Xuancheng, don't be careless. Zhuang Ming said: "This kid of the Song family, compared to the old master of the Song family, is even more difficult to deal with, you can do it yourself." ”
"Okay. Lu He hesitated: "Then Steward Sun...... Do you want to dispose of it?"
"Keep it. Zhuang Ming said: "Don't startle the snake, the Song family kid doesn't know that Steward Sun has been seen through by me." Sometimes, when the word comes out of us, people don't believe it, but those who are eavesdropped by Steward Sun should be more credible. ”
"Understood. Lu He gave a salute and said, "I'll go to Xuancheng." ”
"Be careful. ”
"Got it. ”
Lu He crossed the courtyard wall, but a strange thought appeared in his heart.
Childe kept calling each other a boy, but in fact, Song Tianyuan's age was four years older than Childe.
It's just that in recent years, the people who have played with Childe are the people in charge of each family, the older generation or even the higher generation, and unconsciously, Childe may have forgotten that he is also a young man.
And...... With the current identity of the son, there is no one in charge of the family who will regard him as a junior anymore.
——
And Zhuang Ming's eyes fell on this ancient book again.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said to himself, "Unexpected joy." ”
It's a good way.
