Chapter 119: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Since ancient times, the capital has been a paradise for adventurers, a dream for many people, a place full of flowers, endless opportunities, and many, many heroes and heroes. The place where people who are full of learning yearn for, they all hope that they can meet their Bole here one day, get appreciated, and show their strengths, so as to leap over the dragon gate, step on the road of flying Huang Tengda, so as to glorify their ancestors, but the reality is cruel, although there are many thousands of horses, this Bole is not often, since ancient times, there are a few people laughing and a few people are worried, some people can mix up overnight, and some people have been submerged in the vast sea of people all their lives, and they cannot return to their hometowns until they die. But silently for a lifetime.

After Fang Xiaoyu and the others arrived in the capital, they did not go to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guild Hall, nor did they follow the address instructed by their father to find the legendary Uncle Dongfang, but used the tooth shop to buy a relatively spacious courtyard in the ginkgo alley in the outer city, in order to get the silver from Han Wuniang, he naturally wasted a lot of words, and signed a lot of terms to lose power and humiliate the country, only to get five thousand taels of silver from her, and after they bought furniture and daily necessities to live in, there were only two hundred taels of silver left in their hands.

Seeing the silver in his hand, Fang Xiaoyu only sighed, the consumption in this capital is really high, and this silver is too untouched, a few thousand taels of silver are now only two hundred taels left, Fang Shiyu and the others are very puzzled that Fang Xiaoyu spent so much silver to buy this courtyard, Hong Xiguan asked directly: "Why don't we go to the Fujian and Zhejiang Guild Hall, but use a few thousand taels of silver to buy this mansion in the outer city?"

Fang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically: "You said that so many of us live in the Minxi Guild Hall, so many people have to spend 17 or 80 taels of silver a month, and this year is less than 1,000 taels of silver, and there are many inconveniences in living in the guild hall, but we live here, it is different, we can study, we can also practice, we don't have to worry about disturbing others, when we don't live in the time, we can also sell this yard, even if we can't get back the cost, we can sell some silver." ”

Everyone listened to it and admired Li Jinlun, and said directly: "It's still Xiaoyu who is smart, we didn't expect anything from you." ”

Fang Shiyu said with a wry smile: "He is indeed very smart, but our smart man's hands and feet are too big, a courtyard not only pasted the money we made in Tianjin, but even the little money on Sakura's body did not let go, now there are only two hundred taels left when it is full, I think we should hurry out and find a job, the capital is not as good as our Hangzhou, people and land are two lives, if we can't find a job, we will be ready to drink the northwest wind next month." “

Of course, Fang Xiaoyu would not be stupid enough to tell them that he still had tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets on his body: "What do you mean, we are from the capital but we are not here to enjoy happiness, life is too comfortable, it will only gradually wear out your enterprising spirit, a person can only burst out of the strongest fighting spirit in a difficult situation, if you want to live a mediocre life, I have nothing to say." “

Fang Shiyu smiled bitterly: I only know that we only have two hundred taels of silver left, and if we can't find a job, we will have to get out of the capital next month at the latest!"

Fang Xiaoyu said very easily: " If you don't have money, you have to find a way to make money, this is the capital, what is the capital, that is the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many opportunities, we have hands and feet, we can still be hungry, we can mix a bite of food, but if you want to live a good life and become famous, we have to rely on our own hands to fight, want to wait for the opportunity to fall, smash the head of the good thing, you don't have to think about it, the real strong, he is not waiting for the opportunity, but to make it himself, I don't know if you are willing to put your destiny and future in my hands. ”

Fang Shiyu said helplessly: "You are the smartest one in our group, we all listen to you, I just hope you don't let us beg for food." “

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "If you say it so weakly, do you have no confidence in me?"

Hong Xiguan's words were very simple: "If you want us to do something, you can just say it." "We have faith in you?"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, we are brothers, your decision is the decision of all of us. ”

Hu Dedi who said this.

"Brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits are gold," Fang Xiaoyu felt a sense of pride in his chest: "As long as everyone works together, I believe that the days of suffering will always pass." ”

Fang Shiyu said: "Don't talk such nonsense, what should you do and just tell me directly?"

Fang Xiaoyu took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms: "You can divide this silver ticket for a few of you, and then go to the teahouse and restaurant to inquire about the distribution of the Jianghu forces in the capital, as well as the owner behind it, and come back as soon as you inquire clearly." “

After receiving Fang Xiaoyu's instructions, they immediately went to the teahouse and restaurant to inquire about the news. The crowd went separately to inquire about the news.

It took them five days to get a rough idea of the forces in the capital, and the underworld forces in the capital were roughly divided into four major groups.

Mangjindo supported by Prince Rong.

The smoke and rain building of the secret organization of Heshen.

The Ruyi Gate of King Shuo's Mansion.

Heaven and Earth will oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, they also heard that there is a very mysterious force in the capital, the Purple Light Treasure Qi Pavilion, but this force is very mysterious, and no one even knows whether this force exists.

After hearing their report, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent.

Fang Shiyu was a little puzzled: "What are you asking us to do about this?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: "If the weak side wants to rise, the first thing to do is to muddy the water first. “

"We're going to do something to that force?"

"Wanjintang!"

Fang Xiaoyu's words were very simple: "Wanjintang is the power of the Rong Wangfu, over the years, they have often caused chaos to our Fang family, we should also ask for some interest first, and more importantly, they are operating opium and gambling, which are some shady transactions." ”

Hong Xiguan couldn't help but say, "Just a few of us can't shake the foundation of Wanjintang. ”

"So I'm going to drag He Heshen into the water, and then use force to let them eat dogs," Fang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with wisdom: "When they lose the battle, I will lobby to go to King Shuo's Mansion and eradicate these two forces in one fell swoop."

"I heard that Prince Shuo is an old fox, he may not be fooled?" Hong Xiguan frowned.

"Convincing Shuo Wangfu is a matter of the future, and now we should be thinking about how to do it in Wanjintang. It would be best if you could find out where the Wanjintang property is kept. “

"It's easy, let's find out again. “

Three days later, they infiltrated the Wanjin Hall, and the minions guarding the treasury were knocked unconscious before they could even see anyone.

After entering the warehouse, Fang Xiaoyu looked at the fire fold. There were ten boxes in the middle of the warehouse, some of the other party's boxes, three of which were full of gold and silver jewelry, and the other few boxes were full of gold and silver jewelry, seeing so many gold and silver jewelry, Fang Shiyu couldn't help but ask Fang Xiaoyu: "You said we should move all these three boxes of gold and silver jewelry back." ”

Fang Xiaoyu immediately glared at him: "If you want to find death, okay, but don't bother us all." ”

Fang Shiyu said puzzledly: "Why am I causing everyone." ”

Hong Xiguan explained on the side: "If you lose so much gold, silver and jewelry at once, you will not pursue Prince Rong seriously, keep so much gold and silver jewelry, don't you look for your own death?"

Fang Shiyu was suddenly deflated: "That is, you can see but can't move!"

Fang Xiaoyu explained: "It's definitely not okay to move back in the whole thing, but it's no problem to take a little bit, if you want to take a few of you, try to take it, pay attention to the gold and silver that are not marked, just take a few hundred taels per person, and we will send the rest to Yanyu Building, and then reveal the news to Wanjintang, let them eat dogs, and burn all the harmful things such as opium." ”

Fang Shiyu couldn't help but ask, "Will He Shen be fooled?"

This batch of gold, silver and jewelry is not a small number, how could Prince Rong give up, there will inevitably be a dragon and tiger fight between them, as long as they fight. I have a way to eradicate these two forces. “

Fang Shiyu smiled bitterly: "Fishing in troubled waters is indeed a good idea, but I still have something reluctant to give away so much silver." ”

"If you can't bear it, you can take as many as possible, and then move all the remaining boxes to the outside of the Yanyu Building. ”

When Prince Rong learned that the opium in Wanjintang had been burned and three boxes of jewels had been looted, he ordered his confidant Ai to start an investigation.

Before the investigation had even begun, news came.

The news came from the inside line of the Yanyu Building.

At dawn, Liu Quan, Heshen's housekeeper, escorted three large boxes with a group of people, and these three boxes all had the logo of Wanjintang.

"Since it's ours, we'll go and get it back, and when it's in the hands of the fat man, it'll be too late. ”

Thunder immediately ordered all the men and horses to go to the Hefu.

In the place near Hefu, they finally kidnapped Liu Quan.

Liu Quan is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is not afraid at all, he put his subordinates on guard, and said with a smile: "Lei Zhentian, Uncle Lei, you brought so many people to surround us, could it be that you want to kill people and make more goods." ”

"Killing people and selling goods, Lei doesn't dare, Lei just wants to get back our own things. ”

As soon as he waved his hand, his men stepped forward to fetch the carriages.

"You dare to move with the adult's things, call me. ”

Liu Quan's subordinates answered, and immediately killed Lei Zhentian's subordinates.

Seeing this, Lei Zhentian drew his sword and rode his horse to rush towards Liu Quan.

Although Liu Quan didn't know martial arts, some of his subordinates were good at the rivers and lakes, and they immediately robbed Lei Zhentian for Liu Quan.

The two sides started an unprecedented weapon fight on the long street, and finally Lei Zhentian grabbed the box with more people, but not long after they recaptured the box, it didn't take long for a large number of people from the Hefu to come to reinforcements and snatch the box back, this weapon fight lasted for more than half an hour, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

When they were fighting on the long street, Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan and others were in the restaurant in the distance.

Seeing that Prince Rong's people were defeated so quickly, Fang Shiyu was a little disappointed: "Prince Rong's people are too useless, so they came down so quickly." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "What are you anxious about, this is just the beginning, and the good show is still to come." ”

"Your idea is indeed very clever, but there are too many people who have died in long-term fighting. ”

Hong Xiguan is a chivalrous and benevolent heart.

Fang Shiyu said with a smile: "Prince Rong and Shen's subordinates are not good people, all of them are the masters who knock on the bones and suck the marrow, it is best that they are all dead, if they don't die, they will only harm more good people, take the opium of Wanjintang as an example, I don't know how many people have ruined their families and killed people, why should you sigh for them." ”

"But they have wives and children at home, so what are they innocent of?"

Fang Xiaoyu said: "To deal with the wicked, you must be more ruthless than them, those Qing officials in history can't deal with those corrupt officials, that is, because they don't have those people who rape them, and they don't have those people who slip, if you say it's good, it's called chivalrous benevolence, and it's rare to hear it, that's the benevolence of women, and what a good official has to do is to be responsible for the court and the people." ”

"Although there is some truth in your words, I don't dare to agree, you have no right to decide their life and death," Hong Xiguan looked at Fang Xiaoyu: "How are you going to clean up the mess?"

"Eliminate evil must be thorough, you can't drag mud and water, only by making things bigger, can you alarm the above, and the power of thunder will sweep away all the underworld forces in the capital. ”

"I still hope that not too many people die. Hong Xiguan smiled bitterly.

"For your sake, I'll accept this as soon as possible to end this fire. ”
