Chapter 40: The Nine Palaces of Purple Bamboo
Doing business with friends is indeed a troublesome thing, and Yin Fengling suddenly felt that he and Long Shiqiu were talking about a business.
A strange look flashed across his face, he slowly put down his wine glass, looked at Long Shiqiu and said, "I still have three questions to ask." "Since it is a partnership to do business, the ugly words will naturally be said in front, as long as one party has selfish thoughts and can't be honest with each other, no matter how big or small the business is, sooner or later they will have to part ways, so Yin Fengling understands that it is better to have words in advance than to make amends.
Long Shiqiu said: "I'm listening. ”
"First of all, the two gangs of Youlong and Changle are very strong, why do you only choose to cooperate with the Changle Gang?"
"The Dragon Gang has a close relationship with Dongchang, and Dongchang is secretly colluding with the Fire Spirit Sect, so I can't let others lift a stone to shoot myself in the foot. ”
Yin Fengling frowned and said, "If there is any collusion between them, how can You Long's red goods have also been robbed many times?"
Long Shiqiu smiled slightly and said: "The Dragon Gang is just a chess piece of the East Factory, they seem to be outnumbered, but in fact they are just a group of rabble, what the East Factory really relies on is the Fire Spirit Sect, after all, it is still very cost-effective to lose the pawn and protect the car, not to mention that it can also clear the suspicion of collusion between the Dragon Gang and the East Factory, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
Yin Fengling sighed and said, "My father has always said that I am far inferior to you, it seems that he is right." ”
Long Shiqiu said lightly: "You can ask the second thing." ”
"After the deed is completed, how much can I share in the Perak Hall?"
Long Shiqiu said: "Ten times." ”
"What tenfold?"
"Ten times the losses of Perak Hall in more than a year. ”
Yin Fengling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then if I just say a number, won't you lose money?"
Long Shiqiu said expressionlessly: "Yes." ”
Yin Fengling couldn't laugh anymore.
Take as much as you say, and he was somewhat moved by this trust and courage.
Long Shiqiu continued: "One last question. ”
Yin Fengling stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you want so much silver to go back to Yangzhou?"
Long Shiqiu replied more simply: "Yes!"
Yin Fengling finally picked up his wine glass and said: "It is said that the old site of Duhe Villa is still there, and it has been abandoned for so many years, it seems that you are going to decide to return to Yangzhou to revive your family business this time." ”
Long Shiqiu said: "Of course, it takes a lot of money to rebuild the villa, but it's not time to return to Yangzhou. ”
Yin Fengling pondered for a long time before saying, "When are you going to do it?"
Long Shiqiu said: "Tonight." ”
Yin Fengling was taken aback, turned to look out the window, it was already past Shen Shi at this moment, and couldn't help but say, "Where is the time tonight?"
Long Shiqiu stood up and said to the two: "I'll go out for a trip, and I'll see you at the pagoda in two hours." Yin Fengling and Ghost Xiao glanced at each other, but they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
How did they know that from the time when he was outside the broken temple in the western suburbs of the capital with Jiang Shanghan, the "swallow in the clouds", Long Shiqiu had sent Jinyiwei's subordinates to Hunan to secretly investigate the truth about the theft of the dart silver, and he had already planned tonight's operation.
By the time Long Shiqiu got the antidote to the "Intoxicated Three Stacks" from Mujiabao as he wished, it was already dark.
In the dense forest outside the east gate of Yueyang City, eighteen masked people in Xuanyi stood solemnly on both sides, Long Shiqiu looked at these people left and right with his hands cut his hands, and said loudly: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, are tonight's actions clear?"
Everyone said in unison: "Clear!"
Long Shiqiu took out the antidote and distributed it to everyone, and then said, "Then we'll see you on the boat." With a wave of his hand, the eighteen masked men led the way away.
The jade rabbit rises in the east, and the four fields are quiet.
The big red lantern hangs high in front of the Zizhu House.
Six horse-drawn carriages slowly drove towards the gate of Zizhuju, each with six large wooden boxes fixed with thick ropes.
The handlebar of the car wore a hat and a whip in his hand, and as soon as the convoy stopped in front of the gate, two figures flashed out of the gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?" said one of the burly men, while the other pressed the handle of his knife and looked warily at the handlebars.
"This batch of red goods has just been shipped from Ezhou. "The handlebar dusted off the dust road.
The man who asked frowned and said, "How do I think your face is tight, which subordinate of the hall are you?" ”
The handlebar style owes a debt, takes off the hat and says with a smile: "Below is a subordinate of Suzaku Hall." ”
The man walked to the carriage, and when he saw that the large wooden boxes on the carriage were neither locked nor sealed, he let out a "huh" and reached out to open one of the boxes.
At the moment when the lid of the wooden box was lifted, a sharp sword stabbed out of the box like lightning, stabbing the man to the heart, and the other person at the door was stunned, and the handlebar-like palm suddenly swung out, and a palm was cut at his throat, and the two men fell almost at the same time, and they didn't even have time to say a word before they died.
The handlebar quickly hid the two corpses aside, and with a gesture of his hand, the carriage behind followed into the manor.
The handlebar looked around, took the lead along the path on the east side to the north, and after a short walk, he came to a large compound before stopping, coughed lightly twice, and the large wooden boxes on the carriage behind him were all automatically opened, and a black shadow came out of each of the wooden boxes.
At this moment, the gong sounded at the gate behind him, and with a move of the handlebar, the group of black shadows pulled out their blades one after another, dodging and hiding in the shadows of the corner, but when they saw the fire raised in all directions, the shouts of killing were everywhere.
The lights and candles in the courtyard here were also lit up immediately, and only a loud voice was heard shouting in the midst of a chaotic footsteps: "Don't mess up, everyone, guard the silver vault, I'll go and see." The voice fell, and a person strode out of the yard, and when he saw the carriage in front of him just about to speak, the handlebar flashed out from behind the car, and the black hammer in his hand said, "Where are you going?"
The man was taken aback, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he said sharply, "Who is it?"
The handlebar sneered: "Grandpa's ghost flute is also!" As soon as the words fell, his arms shook and the black iron hammer rushed towards this person's Tianling cover and smashed it, this person saw that the hammer was strong and did not dare to take it hard, so he hurriedly retreated into the hospital.
At this time, the guards in the courtyard had already heard the strange noise, and rushed up with swords in hand. The ghost flute and the double hammer carried the wind to block and kill, and more than a dozen guards couldn't get close to him.
At this moment, dozens of black shadows flew in from outside the courtyard wall, this group of black-clothed masked people were extremely fast, and when they fell into the courtyard, they immediately surrounded more than a dozen guards in the heart, and joined the ghost flute inside and outside, and opened a killing ring, and in a howl, this group of guards all lay down in a moment. The one who was the leader wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was hit by a hammer flying by the ghost flute, and the kid snorted and fell forward, and died immediately.
The long-aggrieved sore spot of the ghost flute roared out like a flood at this moment, and a pair of black iron hammers were stained with blood, only to see him shout: "Quick, follow me in." As soon as he stepped into the house, he stepped on the mechanism, and the bricks under his feet sank down sharply, and an iron fence behind him fell with a "clang", trapping him in the house.
When he looked around by the candlelight, he saw that there was nothing in the room except for a wooden chair, but dozens of large wooden boxes with seals were stacked in the corners of the four sides.
"Don't move, be careful!" Ghost Xiao heard Yin Fengling's voice, and hurriedly walked to the iron fence and said, "You dodge, wait for me to smash this fence." "If you say that, you will smash it with a hammer.
Yin Fengling hurriedly stopped: "Wait!" Ghost Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you say?"
Yin Fengling raised the torch and looked around the house over the iron fence, then squatted down and looked carefully at the bricks near the feet of the ghost flute, and said with a frown: "Look at the five bricks in the middle are darker." ”
Listening to his tone, Ghost Xiao knew that there must be a mechanism in this room, so he was also careful at this time, and then the firelight looked carefully and turned around and said, "Yes, the five bricks in the middle are darker, what's wrong?"
Yin Fengling frowned when he heard this: "This room is built in accordance with the style of the Luoshu Nine Palace Bagua Grid, the so-called 'wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, four two for the shoulder, eight or six for the feet, five in the center', the middle five sides are yang, and the corners of the four sides are yin, this room walks to the left and steps on the odd number of black bricks, and to the right steps on the even number of black bricks to avoid the organ news." ”
Ghost Xiao said impatiently: "Don't care about the left and right odds and evens, and then I'll smash this iron fence first." ”
Yin Fengling stopped: "No!" As soon as his voice fell, the courtyard had already been surrounded by water, and more than 30 people who followed the ghost flute to kill in front of the hall were guarded in front of the hall, and the guards who rushed from all sides were in one place, and for a while, the fire was shining, and the sound of blades colliding was endless.
After all, Yin Fengling was from a martial arts family, and he was used to seeing big scenes, so he calmly faced the ghost flute, handed him the torch in his hand and said, "Follow the black brick and count to the chair, the mechanism is near that chair." ”
According to Yin Fengling's words, the ghost Xiao was really safe and sound, came to the wooden chair and held the torch to observe carefully, and suddenly found that the pattern carved in the center of the back of the chair was concave a little, he mustered up the courage to reach out and press lightly in the recess, with the "De Lang Lang" several crisp sounds behind him, the iron fence at the gate rose upward, Yin Fengling was overjoyed, turned around and saw that everyone was fighting in the courtyard, drew a knife in his hand and jumped forward, slashed one by one, and raised his hand between four or five Zizhuju guards fell in a pool of blood.
At this moment, a black shadow shot down from the opposite roof, this black shadow was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Yin Fengling, and the cold light in his hand suddenly appeared, rushing towards Yin Fengling's chest!
At a glance of Yin Fengling, this black shadow turned out to be a masked woman in red, and I saw a soft sword in her hand "hiss" straight to Yin Fengling's throat.
Yin Fengling, as the young master of the Thunderbolt Hall, not only knows the art of Qimen Dunjia and hidden gunpowder, but also the family legend "Thunder Knife Method" is also a must, seeing the soft sword in the hand of the woman in red, a single knife flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, the woman in red had broken five moves, and the two were fighting fiercely, and suddenly heard a loud "boom", and the north courtyard wall was blown out of a gap, and everyone was stunned, and a figure rushed in from outside the gap.
"It's a good time!" Yin Fengling broke off, only to see this figure flickering like a ghost, and shot around everyone one after another, and the guards of Zizhuju fell more than a dozen in an instant.
The red-clothed masked woman snorted: "Long Shiqiu!" With a false sword, she abandoned Yin Fengling, and went straight to Long Shiqiu.
