After so many days of traveling, Gong Wenyu has not eaten well, and today he finally came to a big market town, so he has to comfort his stomach.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw a shopkeeper come over with a smile and asked, "Guest officer, how many are you?"

Gong Wenyu: "I'm alone." ”

Hearing that there was only one person on the other side, Xiao Er's face was a little disappointed, he glanced back and said, "I'm sorry, this guest officer, our tables are full." If you want to eat, you'll have to arrange for a while. There is a bench at the door, a big bowl of tea, you sit down and rest your feet first, and when there is a vacant place in a while, I am calling you. ”

Gong Wenyu: "Do you have a private room here?"

Xiao Er: "Yes, there is, but the price is not cheap." ”

Gong Wenyu: "Open a private room for me, get four or five good dishes to drink, and a pot of good wine." ”

As he spoke, a piece of silver was handed over.

Although it is the largest town market in ten miles and eight townships, the largest transaction is only paid in banknotes. Silver is a rarity.

Xiao Er, who took the silver, smiled and climbed to his face again.

I saw that he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Upstairs private room - one!" As he spoke, he led Gong Wenyu upstairs.

At this time, Gong Wenyu seemed to remember something, turned around and pointed to a little beggar outside the door, and said, "You, come up with me." ”

The little beggar obviously didn't expect that the person he was spying on would take the initiative to talk to him, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated. Unexpectedly, one of them was careless, tripped over a stone on the side of the road, and almost fell.

Fortunately, Gong Wenyu's eyes were quick, his figure flashed, he grabbed him, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, little friend, uncle will take you upstairs to eat delicious food." ”

This little beggar has been begging for food since he was a child, how could anyone have been so good to him. Instinctively, he nodded and followed Gong Wenyu upstairs.

"Guest officer, this is not good!" Xiao Er on the side stopped them and said, "This guest officer, we are a restaurant, and letting a beggar come in will affect other guests." ”

Gong Wenyu said unhappily: "He and I are in the private room, how can they affect others." As he spoke, Gong Wenyu took out a small piece of silver and handed it over, saying, "It's okay now." ”

Who will have trouble with money, the little second nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, the two masters come with me." ”

In the private room, the dishes on the table had been arranged, and Gong Wenyu specially ordered two sugar cakes for the little beggar. It's just that the little beggar just stood from afar, looking at the dishes on the table. In his mind, only what others eat is his own.

Seeing this scene, Gong Wenyu picked up a plate of sugar cakes and walked in front of the little beggar, squatted down and said to him: "You can eat if you want to, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Hearing that the other party asked him to eat, the little beggar couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed two pieces and put them in his mouth.

When one was finished, the little beggar picked up another.

This time, though, instead of eating them again, he poured them all into his pocket.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gong Wenyu curiously.

"I want to bring these back to my brother to eat, uncle, is that okay?" the little beggar looked at Gong Wenyu with pity and asked.

"Absolutely. Gong Wenyu said kindly: "Let's eat first." ”

"Hmm. ”

While eating, Gong Wenyu asked, "Are you a disciple of the Beggar Gang?"

"It's not official, but the new elder is very good to my brother, handed over my brother's martial arts, and said that as long as this matter is done, let us become official disciples. ”

Gong Wenyu: "Then what do you want this time?"

Little beggar: "I'm just looking at you secretly." ”

"It seems that you didn't do a good job, but it's okay, I don't think I found you. ”

But the little beggar didn't care and said, "It's okay, the elder said, if you find out and catch it, don't resist, you can answer whatever you ask." ”

Seeing that Gong Wenyu no longer asked, the little beggar continued to eat.

Children should be very innocent and innocent, but begging outside all the year round makes them very sophisticated. Can such a person be trusted?

This series of things is thought to be related to the leakage of the news that the Yongle Gang got the treasure.

In order to protect the news from leaking, the Yongle Gang has killed a lot of people. But in order to catch themselves, they actually dared to pretend to be members of the beggar gang, and it was more than worth the loss to do so.

But to say that this matter has already spread, and even the elders of the beggar gang have also been dispatched, it is a bit too much.

It seems that if you want to solve your own troubles, you have to start with this beggar elder.

Lao Jin was still sitting lazily in the alley, while another little beggar beside him was squatting hard.

At this time, the little beggar who went out to investigate led Gong Wenyu into the alley excitedly. As soon as he saw the little beggar who was squatting on his horse, he walked over in three steps and two steps, and said, "Brother, try it, the sugar cake that my uncle bought for me is delicious." ”

"Don't squat for half an hour, don't eat. Lao Jin on the side suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" the little beggar replied, and then he was silent.

Seeing this scene, the little beggar (brother) had no choice but to stand aside.

Seeing that it was a little cold, Gong Wenyu took a step forward and said, "Senior, under Gong Wenyu, a little heart, and hope to smile and accept ......" As he spoke, he handed over the wine and food he was carrying.

Seeing this, the little beggar (younger brother) hurriedly took it and sent it to Lao Jin.

Lao Jin looked at it and said, "Well, that's good. Are you Gong Wenyu, the 'desperate book' in the martial arts?"

Gong Wenyu: "No, it's down." ”

Lao Jin: "Listening to your nickname, it's the same as what you do, it's amazing." ”

Gong Wenyu: "Senior, what do you mean by this? ”

Lao Jin: "Whether you really don't understand or pretend not to understand, I'll explain what I said." Not long ago, a steward in the Yongle Gang got a treasure, but when the man was about to dedicate the treasure to Zhu Changle, the whole family was wiped out, and even the treasure was gone. According to the Yongle Gang, this was done by the people of Changle Palace, and all the dart masters who covered him were killed. However, one of the dart masters was seriously injured and went into shock, but did not die. After waking up, with oral narration, the murderer's appearance was drawn. And the person in the painting is none other than you - Gong Wenyu, the 'desperate scholar'. ”

"Senior, there must be some misunderstanding in this. When Gong Wenyu heard this, he hurriedly explained, immediately, and immediately.

Lao Jin: "I'm not sure if it's true, but that's what I got." Since you said that these are all misunderstandings, you can tell the truth of the facts. ”

"Yes......" So, Lao Jin took a sip of wine and a mouthful of food, and listened to Gong Wenyu's experience.

I only heard Lao Jin say: "Originally, with the reputation and status of the Shengyan Hall of the National Academy of Martial Arts, I should have believed you." But the world is changing, and I'm not sure what you're saying is true. My original intention was to snatch the treasure from you, and then use it to attract some ill-intentioned people to punish it. But since you said that the thing is not in you, then it is useless for me to be strong. I don't care about this, you can do it yourself in the future. ”

"Yes, the juniors are retiring. ”

Not long after Gong Wenyu left, Lao Jin said, "Is his words credible?"

"I have had a relationship with many Confucianists in the Chinese Academy of Studies, and they are all upright gentlemen, and I think the same is true for Gong Wenyu. ”

The voice of the speech is erratic, as if in front of you, as if overhead, and as if in all directions.

I only heard Lao Jin retort: "This sect and faction may have different intentions, and you can't affirm him because of his fellow disciples." ”

The voice said, "Since you don't believe it like this, then go and investigate, how about it?"

"Cut! I, Kim Yong Soon, nicknamed 'rotten as mud under my knees', how could I put the effort into doing such a thing. What's more, that treasure is something that you Nanhai Immortal Habitat has left outside, and you Tengxi City doesn't care about it, but asks me to go as an outsider. ”

Teng Xicheng: "If you continue to be lazy like this, I'm afraid that even your apprentice will not be as good as you!" hahahaha......" The laughter gradually became smaller, and the people who wanted to come were far away.

Jin Rongshun still said lazily: "Don't be lazy, how to practice this "Eight Lazy Fists" well." ”

"Palace Master, let's make a statement about this. ”

Sun Yutong, the "mourning hanger" in the conference hall, said dissatisfiedly.

"How can we declare and tell the world that the things are not in our hands? Zhu Changle has already stated that the things have been taken away, and even the portrait has come out. And we did send people there to do undercover, and once it was confirmed, we didn't have a say. ”

The one who spoke was Zhu Changrong, one of the four kings of the rivers and lakes, the "King of Changle".

This person was originally the second son of the Yongle Gang, and he felt that he was better than his brother everywhere, so he was very dissatisfied with the eldest brother's inheritance of the position of the gang leader, and left angrily and created his own "Changle Palace".

"Palace Master, that portrait is from the Shengyan Hall of the National Academy of Studies, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Sun Daxia, it's not that we don't want to declare, but the time has not come. The answer to him was Bian Gu'an, the "chief manager of Changle" who was known for his resourcefulness in Changle Palace.

"Manager Bian, what do you mean by this, we didn't do anything, and we were labeled as murderous and treasure-robbering, and killing people, when will we wait?"

When he said that he was excited, Sun Yu pounded the table with all his strength, shattering the tea bowl on it.

Zhu Changrong: "Yutong doesn't need to be so excited, come on, hurry up and serve new tea." ”

Seeing that the gang leader was calm and unhurried, as a subordinate Sun Yutong, it was useless to be in a hurry, so he had to listen to the manager's arrangement......
