Willow Garden is located in the southeast of Tianjin City ten miles, built along the canal, the reason why it is called Willow Garden, mainly the courtyard is surrounded by willow trees, forming a natural scene, so it is expected to be the Willow Garden, Liu Donglai is the owner of this garden, but in fact he is not a native of Tianjin, he came here five years ago, acquired this lot with a huge amount of money, and built a garden here, as for what he did before, no one really knows where the household is, but since he came, this place has inexplicably flooded, there are many people who come in and out every day, most of these people are friends on some rivers and lakes, and Liu Donglai is also very generous to these people, when he comes, wine and meat are entertained, go to give gold and silver, plus three hundred diners under his door, so he also has the nickname of Sai Mengwei.

May 13 is Liu Donglai for the beloved daughter Liu Furong to hold a contest to choose the day, and the friends on the rivers and lakes also give him this face, in the first few days of the competition to recruit relatives there are constantly rivers and lakes characters in and out of the willow garden, so Liu Yuan simply set up a flowing water banquet, as long as there are guests to come, this banquet will continue to go on, after the news spreads, even the nearby people have come to take advantage of this, and Liu Yuan to these people are also not refused, to May 13, the flow of passengers is naturally reached a climax, and this day from the yellow calendar, today is definitely a good day, suitable for marriage。

Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan, Hu Dedi, and Li Jinlun came to Liuyuan in the morning.

Outside the willow garden, they met Kazuku and Yongqi Gege and her female bodyguard Nishizawa Hidemi, in addition to the female guard, Yongqi Gege was also accompanied by a sturdy middle-aged man, the other party's hands were full of calluses, obviously from the army. Seeing Yongqi Gege, Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows tightened, this was not a quiet lord, so he pulled He Fu aside: "Why did you bring this lord with you?"

He Fu smiled bitterly: "Do you think I want to bring her, our Gege is a lively master who will go there, even if I don't bring her, it is estimated that she will come with her, rather than let her run blind, it is better to let her be with us." ”

Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows locked slightly: "Today's party is not a good meeting, maybe there will be a fight, how can you guarantee her safety?"

Kazufu glanced at Yokoyama Sakurako behind him and said, "Your fiancée's martial arts doesn't seem to be weak, with her and Hidemi Nishizawa, Gege's safety must be fine." ”

Fang Xiaoyu wanted to say more, Yongqi Gege had appeared in front of them: "What are you muttering in a whisper, are you talking bad about me?"

He Fu hurriedly laughed: "How can we say bad things about Gege?"

"Really?" said Yongqi's brother.

He Fuxin swore and said: "Of course it's true, Gege, you are as beautiful as a flower, chivalrous, helpful, and courageous, just take this time, if you don't have Gege in person, how can we invite the commander to help, we can't be grateful for it, how can we say bad things about Gege, and then Gege you have any bad things to say for us to say, even if you want to say it, it is also a good word." ”

"Really?"

Yongqi Gege was naturally skeptical of this.

"That's natural!" After saying this, he followed to introduce Fang Xiaoyu to the middle-aged Han man behind Yongqi Gege: "Xiaoyu, let me introduce you to you, this is the Green Battalion Commander I told you about yesterday, Lord Duxing Adu, today he can bring five hundred Green Battalion elite soldiers to help us, of course, Gege is also a strong man, I can set up this stage for you, and the next play depends on how you sing?"

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Five hundred elite soldiers, it should be enough, where are they all?"

He Fu replied: "Two hundred diners have entered the Willow Garden, two hundred inside the village and three hundred outside the village, and they are all cavalry, as long as the arrows of the commander are issued, they will be killed immediately." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded, and then he thanked Du Xing'a: "Fang Xiaoyu is here to thank the commander for his help." ”

Du Xing'a hadn't spoken yet, Yongqi Gege had already expressed his merits on the side: "If you want to thank me, thank me, if I didn't go out in person, how could you invite Du Xing'a?"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Of course Gege wants to thank you, but the commander should thank you even more."

"If you want to thank me, thank me, thank me is equivalent to thank him, he is our family's clothed minion," Yongqi Gege browled his eyebrows and smiled: "Tell me honestly, what else do you want me to do, don't be polite to me?"

Fang Xiaoyu gave Yongqi Gege a lot of face: "Not for the time being, if there is, I will definitely not be polite to Gege." ”

Yongqi Gege asked with great interest: "What should we do next, do we rush in and check Liuyuan directly?"

Fang Xiaoyu explained: " Liu Donglai is not an ordinary businessman, he has a high reputation in Tianjin, and has pulled up so many protective umbrellas, to confiscate Liuyuan, we must not only have real evidence, but also the weight of the evidence is insufficient, if I guess correctly, many officials in Tianjin today will come to participate in Liu Donglai's conference to recruit sons-in-law for women's martial arts, if the evidence is insufficient, they will raid Liuyuan, and they will not be able to pass in front of these officials, even if we forcibly raid Liuyuan today, it will also bring some unnecessary trouble to Hezhongtang and Shuo Wangye. ”

Yongqi Gege said disdainfully: "I, Amma, am a **** of the Qing Dynasty, and I will be afraid of this trouble." ”

"Although Shuo Wangfu is not afraid of trouble, the less trouble like this, the better. ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

"How to do it, I have to ask Gege before you can do it," Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Didn't I ask He Da Shao to tell Gege, and let Gege order a few masters under his command to keep an eye on Liu Yuan these days, I don't know what Gege's subordinates have discovered?"

Yongqi Gege was very embarrassed and said: "I guess it will be difficult to find out, the kidnapper has just missed, how can he act so quickly?"

"That's not necessarily," Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "This group of kidnappers is rampant to the extreme, just the day before yesterday they attacked my brother and a few of them, but it's a good thing that you didn't find out." ”

Yongqi Gege and Hefu were a little puzzled: "Good thing!"

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: " Those kidnapped women in their hands, it is always a disaster, more importantly, they kidnapped Gege you, it is only a matter of time before the government intervenes, if I am Liu Donglai, I will definitely shoot these women as soon as possible, only in this way can he be invincible, if I guess correctly, today he held this competition for his daughter to recruit relatives, just a trick, the purpose is to attract everyone's attention, behind the scenes, will definitely take this opportunity to give all the kidnapped women, so that even after the East Window in the future, some people suspect that so many officials also happened to testify to him。 ”

He Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Why didn't I expect that this is clearly the Ming Xiu plank road in the thirty-six plans, and the darkness is Chencang, and I will immediately let people expand the scope of surveillance." “

"It's better for me to take a walk myself, and besides, the scenery around this willow garden is not bad, since I came, it would be a loss not to walk around. “

He Fu immediately said: "I am familiar with Liu Yuan, and I can be a guide." “

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled: "Today we are here to participate in Liu Furong's competition to recruit relatives, if we don't show up, Liu Donglai may be suspicious, so I suggest that you and my brother go to Liuyuan to eat and drink, to attract Liu Donglai's attention, so that I can act cheaply." ”

Fang Shiyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you alone?"

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The people of Liuyuan may not be able to recognize me, I was a man disguised as a woman that night, even if I walked face to face with the kidnappers, he may not be able to recognize me, and with Sakurako accompanying me, maybe they will think that we are a pair of little lovers who eloped." ”

He Fu also carefully told Fang Xiaoyu: "In short, you should be careful, if you find anything, don't act rashly, remember to come to Liuyuan as soon as possible." ”

Yongqi Gege said disdainfully: "You can rest assured, with me and Xiumei accompanying the two of them, even if you meet a bandit, you can get out of the way." ”

"It's better if Gege wants to stay. ”

To tell the truth, Hefu really doesn't want to take Yongqi Gege to participate in Liuyuan's martial arts competition and recruitment conference today, if Liuyuan is really a kidnapping as Fang Xiaoyu said, then it is destined to have a vicious fight today, he is not sure that he can protect Yongqi Gege when dealing with strong opponents, but outside the garden is different, outside Liuyuan can lurk several masters of Shuowangfu and hundreds of green battalion soldiers brought by Du Xing'a, even in danger, they are enough to protect Yongqi Gege: "Xiaoyu, Gege will bother you." ”

After Hefu and Fang Shiyu, Du Xing'a and others left, Fang Xiaoyu asked Yongqi Gege: "Gege, don't you like to join in the fun the most, why don't you go with them to join in the fun, but drink the northwest wind with me here?"

Yongqi Gege smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you are not familiar with the neighborhood?"

Fang Xiaoyu's eyelids rolled when he heard this: "It seems that Gege is not familiar with this." ”

"But my subordinates are familiar, they have been staring at Liuyuan for the past two days, beautiful, hurry up and introduce Liuyuan to our master. ”

"Yes, Gege!"

Then Hidemi Nishizawa introduced Yanagien to Fang Xiaoyu as she walked.

Soon the local Xiaoyu had some understanding of Liuyuan, and knew that there was a tree-lined avenue in the backyard of Liuyuan that could lead directly to the dock of the canal, and then he turned his gaze to Yongqi Gege: "Let your men go down and see if there are any boats carrying goods on the nearby river, and if there are any, they will stare at it, if the kidnappers want to send the kidnapped women away, there will definitely be boats on the river to pick them up." ”

Yongqi Gege immediately turned his gaze to Hidemi Nishizawa: "Did you hear clearly, if you heard it clearly, I will go immediately, and tell them to sell some strength today, if you can catch the kidnappers, let Gege and I get out of this evil breath, and each person will be rewarded with three hundred silver, I have never suffered such a big loss since I was a child." ”

Hidemi Nishizawa answered and went immediately.

After Hidemi Nishizawa left, Yongqi Gege found that Fang Xiaoyu was actually looking at her: "Why are you staring at me like this?"

Fang Xiaoyu said leisurely: "I remember that someone seems to still owe two hundred silver. ”

"What do you want so much silver for?" Yongqi Gege's eyes widened: "My mother said, if a man is rich, he will learn badly, so you men can't have money, in order to prevent you from learning badly, I will save that silver for your future wife, and I will give it to you when you have a wife in the future." ”

"Okay, count you ruthless!"

Fang Xiaoyu turned around and left, as soon as he left, Yokoyama Sakurako immediately followed, as if it was his shadow.

Yongqi Gege immediately followed: "Where are you going?"

"The back of the willow garden, the front is so lively, the kidnappers are leaving, so they have to go from the back. ”

Compared with the bustle of the front yard, the backyard is much calmer, not only calm but also heavily guarded, even if there are pedestrians approaching, there will be Zhuang Ding coming to ask for it immediately, it doesn't look like a happy event at all, not to mention Fang Xiaoyu and Hengshan Sakurako, even Yongqi Gege also felt it: "What the hell is this Liu Donglai doing?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Xiaoyu's mouth: "What the hell can you do, it's nothing more than to take advantage of the chaos to send those kidnapped women away, let's wait for the rabbit on the road ahead, and as soon as the carriage comes out of the willow garden, we will immediately start robbing it." ”

Yongqi Gege immediately became very excited: "I'll call someone right away." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said angrily: "What is it, with me and Sakurako, can't you rob a carriage?"

Yongqi Gege wanted to say more, so he heard Yokoyama Sakurako say, "A carriage has come out." ”

With the prestige, sure enough, a carriage drove out of the back door of Liu Yuan.

As soon as Yongqi saw it, he pulled out the golden silk soft whip on his waist and was about to rise.

"What for?"

"Of course it's a carjacking, will the car stop on its own? ”

Fang Xiaoyu said angrily: "If you want to do it, it is also on the road leading to the canal wharf in front, and doing it here will only startle the snake." ”
