Chapter Ninety-Five: Sword Gate, Zhang Fugui
Li Moru had no choice but to fight with the people who came to attack, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Fugui, Zhang Fugui, your second brother has come to see you." ”
At this time, Zhang Fugui was meeting guests in the hall, the person sitting next to Zhang Fugui was dressed in brocade and green clothes, his demeanor was calm, and his speech and demeanor were very advanced and retreating, and the two were talking, when suddenly, a subordinate ran over from the backyard and shouted: "Master, master, it's not good, it's not good." ”
Zhang Fugui got up and said angrily: "What's the matter, you're yelling, didn't you see me chatting with the guests, what's the matter?"
The man bent down and gasped, "A fierce and vicious person jumped in the backyard and fought with the soldiers in the house, and that person also claimed to be your second brother, saying that he came to see you." ”
When Zhang Fugui heard this, he thought that Li Moru had come to see him, he had communicated with Mr. Mo earlier, and knew about Li Moru's appearance, so he hurriedly asked, "What does this person look like?"
"With a beard and thick eyebrows, he is not a good person at first glance, but his martial arts are extremely high, and the soldiers in the backyard have nothing to do with him. ”
Zhang Fugui frowned slightly, and said: "No, I saw Moru a few years ago, he is still thin, and although he is not as handsome as me, it is not as thick eyebrows and big eyes as a beard." ”
The man in green shirt in front of him got up and said, "Let's go out and have a look." ”
"It's okay, I want to see who dares to pretend to be our second brother. ”
The two walked towards the backyard, and the man in green shirt said, "Fugui, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for more than a year, and your business is getting bigger and bigger." ”
"It's okay, it's just to be a middleman and make some hard-earned money, then like you, you are now a distinguished guest in General Cao's mansion, where you sit all day, you can eat and drink, by the way, why didn't Long Chen come with you?"
"Big brother has something, the affairs in the court have been complicated recently, he can't pull away for a while, he was originally going to send other generals to Jianmen Pass, I suddenly thought that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you by the way. ”
After the two walked to the backyard, they saw a reckless man with a beard holding a long sword maneuvering around with ease under the encirclement of more than 20 soldiers, and he also called Zhang Fugui's name from time to time.
After Zhang Fugui arrived, the man in the green shirt asked him to stop, Zhang Fugui also hurriedly asked the family in the house to stop, Li Moru looked at the two people in front of him, and hurriedly ran towards the two, but was stopped by the soldiers.
He pointed to himself and said, "Rich and rich, it's me, I'm Li Moru." ”
Zhang Fugui and the man in green shirt looked at each other, and they didn't believe that the man in front of him who looked to be in his thirties was Li Moru, he said: "Where did you come from, you dare to pretend to be my second brother, and you don't open your dog eyes to take a good look, our second brother, I met him a few years ago." ”
Zhang Fugui scolded angrily: "From the truth, what are your intentions when you come to my Zhang Mansion?"
Li Moru glanced at the man in green shirt beside Zhang Fugui, a little surprised, and said: "You can't be Qingshan, you have not seen you for five or six years, you haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown so tall, you are taller than Fugui, and Fugui, why are you so thin than before?"
Zhang Fugui was a little puzzled, listening to the voice and tone was indeed a little like Li Moru, but looking at it like this, he was like two people with Li Moru, he asked Zhang Qingshan: "What about Qingshan, no matter how you look at this person, he is not Moru, but this voice and tone, no matter how you listen to it, it is my second brother." ”
Zhang Qingshan looked up and down, and said with a smile: "I know, he is our Moru." ”
"How is it possible, I saw Moru a few years ago, where is his appearance, although ......"
Zhang Qingshan let the soldiers disperse, he walked in front of Li Moru, carefully observed from front to back, left and right, and said with a smile: "Second brother, where did you learn the disguise technique, it was so good that even I couldn't see it." ”
Li Moru couldn't help but be surprised, "Qingshan, how do you know it's a disguise technique?"
"Well, I like to watch weird things when I'm fine. ”
At this time, Zhang Fugui walked towards him, and Zhang Qingshan said: "You all quit, and so is the family, our three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and we are reminiscing about the past." ”
After the others left, Li Moru hurriedly asked, "Qingshan, tell me how did you find out that I used the disguise technique, I feel that my disguise is perfect, how can you see it so easily?"
Zhang Qingshan sold a pass and said, "You guess?"
"Tell me quickly, what's wrong with me, I originally thought that if I use this mask to walk the rivers and lakes, there won't be any problems, and I can avoid unnecessary pursuits, you recognized me at a glance, could it be that I made some forks in my disguise technique?"
Zhang Fugui walked around Li Moru for a long time, looked at Li Moru's anxious appearance, and said with a smile, I also understand. "Second brother, you are really stupid, you say that you put on makeup, you don't change the style of your clothes for several years, I said, how can Qingshan recognize you at a glance?"
Zhang Fugui thought about it again and said, "Then it seems that my subordinates came to report that there was a bandit with strong martial arts who was inquiring about my whereabouts and reminded me to pay attention, it seems that that person is you." ”
"Hmm,"
Li Moru stretched out his hand and tore off the human skin on his face, along with the hair on the top of his head, and kept crying out in pain. After removing the disguise, Zhang Fugui walked over and touched his face, and said with a smile: "This is what my second brother looks like, although he is not as handsome as me, but he is also a scumbag." ”
Li Moru stretched out his hand and pinched Zhang Fugui's face, and said, "Alas, Fugui, I think you haven't opened the roof for three days, right?
Zhang Fugui also grabbed his ear and said: "You are embarrassed to say, I sent a message to Mr. Mo Feige, knowing that you had already come out, why did it take half a year to arrive, I told you that if you don't arrive again, I am ready to spend money to find the people in Qianjinlou to see if you are dead." ”
After the two of them let go, Li Moru said: "I'm also forced to be helpless, this way, too many things have happened, I finally understand the sentence that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes." ”
Zhang Qingshan said: "Second brother, I also heard a lot about you on the way here, how did you get mixed up with some ghost fairy sect, and you also became famous in the White Horse Temple, now I'm afraid that the people of the whole river and lake are chasing and killing you." ”
Zhang Fugui smiled: "It's not that you don't know him, he just can't be idle, and if he can't be idle, something will happen, but, Moru, why are your martial arts so high now?"
Li Moru said: "This matter is a long story, I traveled so far to see you, don't you know to entertain me first, and prepare to entertain me in this backyard?"
He patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm so happy to forget this stubble, let's take a walk, our three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, I asked my subordinates to prepare some good wine and food, and our brothers won't get drunk tonight." ”
"Good!"
The three of them walked towards the room together, Li Moru looked at the decoration of Zhang Fugui's house, and couldn't help but praise, "Fugui, how big is your business now, how can you be so rich?"
Zhang Fugui said with a smile: "Where did I get there, but I can have today, thanks to you, my good second brother." ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Let's sit down and rest first. ”
The three chairs are arranged left and right in the room, a red sandalwood round table and chair in the middle, and a pair of couplets are hung on the two chairs in the upper row. There is also a sword hanging on the landscape painting below the harmony and wealth.
The ornaments on both sides look unremarkable, but they are made of fine wood, and the porcelain and paintings complement each other.
After entering the room, the three of them sat at the same table, Li Moru sat in the middle, and Zhang Fugui asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, saying that they wanted to entertain friends.
Li Moru said: "Come on, Fugui, tell my brother, how did you come over in the past few years, why did you suddenly send it?"
Zhang Fugui smiled: "Don't I have to thank you." ”
"Where did Xie come from?"
Zhang Fugui pointed to the sword hanging in the hall and asked, "Moru, do you remember that sword?"
"Of course I remember, it was personally cast and given to you back then, and it took me more than half a year. ”
"You know, what was the first thing I did when I started my business?"
Li Moru picked up the tea and asked, "What is it?"
"Don't be angry when you say it, the first thing I did was to sell this sword, because I thought at the time, since Lao Yangtou's craftsmanship is so valuable, yours must not be much worse, and it must be quite valuable. ”
Zhang Qingshan was a little puzzled, and asked: "Didn't you follow your father out to do business, you should be rich, how can you sell the sword made for you by Moru?"
"Of course, it's for more money, when I was here when I was eyeing the tea and brocade business in Shudao, I was thinking about how to make money to make this work next, my father made up three hundred taels for me, and I felt that it was still not enough, so I sold your sword, I didn't expect it, second brother, your craftsmanship is really good, I met a person who knows the goods, and sold it for a thousand taels of silver. ”
Zhang Qingshan and Li Moru were very surprised, they didn't expect it to be so valuable, Zhang Qingshan joked: "Moru, why do you still walk the rivers and lakes with this skill, honestly stay at home and cast a sword, cast a sword for three or five years, and eat him for a lifetime, how good." ”
Li Moru smiled: "It's not that you don't know me, I don't like that kind of day." ”
Zhang Fugui smiled: "I don't know you yet, don't worry, even if you go to walk the rivers and lakes, if you really want to learn from Lao Yang Tou incognito one day, tell me, your third brother will find a way for you." ”
Li Moru looked at Zhang Fugui on the side and said to him with a smile: "Third brother, what about the wine, so happy, don't you drink a bowl?"
Zhang Fugui smiled: "Moru, when did you become an alcoholic?"
Li Moru said embarrassedly: "I don't know when I like to come a little." ”
He suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Qingshan: "Qingshan, I have something I want to ask you, can you help me solve my doubts?"
"What are you and my brother polite, just say it directly, is it a matter of the White Horse Temple?"
"How do you know?"
"Because I'm curious, too. ”
Li Moru told Zhang Qingshan everything that happened in the White Horse Temple, and also told him what he secretly heard about the conversation between King Yama and Zhong Kui and his own conjecture about this matter, he asked Zhang Qingshan, can you guess who is behind this matter, after he came out of the White Horse Temple, he thought about it for a long time, and he has not figured it out.
He felt that he was stuffed with a jade pillow for some reason, and then he was chased and killed by everyone on the rivers and lakes, making himself day and night, which was really a little aggrieved, and he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this.
Zhang Qingshan reviewed the whole thing, he thought about what Li Moru said, asked his subordinates to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to think.
He first distributed the forces on both sides, and then made a special mark on the Shaolin Temple, Xuanwu Gate and Wanxian Gate, and then Li Moru told him the more important figures who appeared in the White Horse Temple, and he summarized them one by one.
In the process of induction, some detailed questions were also asked, such as those people's martial arts are stronger, those people are more talkative, and the order in which these people go to the White Horse Temple.
Using two pieces of paper, the various sects that appeared on the White Horse Temple were systematically differentiated, and then the main characters were proposed, and he marked the characters while thinking, and wrote down the identity and responsibilities behind the name, the strength of martial arts, and the order of arriving at the White Horse Temple.
In the end, he proposed a few people - Li Jiyi, Huiwu, Jingkong, Chen Tafa, Zhong Kui, and Demon Sect Elders.
Li Moru said that the Huiyang Daoist and the old monk who appeared later, Zhang Qingshan directly excluded the two, he said that these two people did not belong to this bureau, and Li Moru was also excluded by him, he said that Li Moru is also a variable in this bureau, logically speaking, he is the same as Huiyang Daoren and others, belongs to the people who suddenly broke in, and changed the operation of this bureau.
