Chapter 30

Zhuang Hengyun looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Since everyone is a brother, there are some things that the elder brother will not hide from the two. It's just that Brother Yu didn't tell me to know about this matter with the two brothers, and the two brothers had to swear a poisonous oath and never leak this matter. ”

Yan Dufei has lived in the northwest for a long time, and his hands are vicious, he has never taken any oath to heart, what kind of poisonous oath does he want to make, what is the difference between it and fart?

Li Qiufeng also made a poisonous oath in the same way. Zhuang Hengyun said: "It's not that I can't believe the two brothers, but this matter is very important, and I can't be careless." ”

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei nodded yes, and Zhuang Hengyun said: "This incident happened about twelve years ago. At that time, there was no name of Five Tiger Villa in the rivers and lakes, and I did not call Zhuang Hengyun the name. At that time, I was wandering around the rivers and lakes, often doing some business that had no capital. ”

Li Qiufeng knew that Zhuang Hengyun was once a big thief in the rivers and lakes, but he was quite surprised to hear him admit it.

"At that time, I already had a friendship with Brother Yu, but he was a well-known chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and it would be a great inconvenience for people to know that he had a bad relationship with me, because our brothers couldn't see each other a few times a year. In the summer of that year, I remember that around May, I followed a Beijing official who had returned to his hometown, from Beijing to Huguang. This Beijing official brought more than ten loads of horses and packs, and there were a lot of gold and silver treasures. This official was targeted by me as soon as he left the city of Beijing, but he invited more than a dozen dart masters from the Beijing Chengshun Yuan Dart Bureau to help him escort his property, and several masters accompanied him.

"That day when I arrived at the border of Huguang'an Luzhou, the Jingguan was also from Huguang, and he was very powerful in the local area, if he returned home, it would be extremely difficult to start. Seeing that I couldn't get it, I was quite anxious. At that time, this Jingguan lived in the largest inn in Anlu Prefecture, called the Kyushu Inn. That night, I sneaked into the inn and hid on the roof of a wing room, secretly looking for an opportunity to do it. It's just that I know that the martial arts of several masters accompanying Jingguan are very good, but I don't dare to approach too closely.

"That night the moon was scarce, and I lay on the roof, and watched the moon rise little by little to the middle of the sky. The guards in front of the main hall had already changed shifts, and I thought I wouldn't have a chance to do it that night, and I was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.

At that time, my heart sank, and I only said that I had been seen through by someone, and when I pulled out a short knife, I wanted to fight with the comer. But the man whispered, 'Brother Zhuang, slow down, I'm Yu Changchang!' I was afraid of falling into the enemy's tricks, so I didn't dare to answer, so I jumped out of the way, and then I looked back. But I saw a person squatting on the roof, who is Brother Yu Changchang?

"Brother Yu lived in Beijing City at that time, how could he have thought that he would meet him in Huguang, thousands of miles away?

When Zhuang Hengyun said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei, and said: "I can't hide it, although Brother Yu is a hero who moves the Jingshi, but he has always had a lot of expenses, so sometimes he also does some business without capital. It's just that Brother Yu only picks on those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but it does not damage his chivalrous reputation. ”

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei both said: "That's that." But I thought in my heart: This old thief is just a bandit leader who sits on the ground and divides the spoils, and he can't get along with chivalry.

"I saw that it was really Brother Yu, and I was about to give a gift, but Brother Yu signaled me not to make a sound, and led me out of the Kyushu Inn to a mansion next to me. The house is so big, a five-entry courtyard, and each courtyard is heavily guarded. I went straight to the third courtyard, and before I came to the main hall, Brother Yu asked me to wait at the door for a while. Soon after he entered the house, he came out and beckoned me in.

"When I entered the house, I saw that there were quite a few people inside. There were two people sitting on the Taishi chair among them, and the one on the left was in his fifties, with a white face and no beard under his chin. The man on the right was dressed in a green robe, no more than thirty years old, with slender eyes that seemed to be open and closed. But the rest stood on either side.

"Brother Yu bowed to the two of them and said, "Two adults, this brother is a good friend of the villain, and he is also a master of fame in the rivers and lakes. I don't want to meet in Anlu Prefecture today, so I specially introduced the two adults. ’

"When I heard Brother Yu say this, I was shocked. You must know that I am a thief, and I am most afraid of seeing officials in my life. Looking at the grandeur of those two people, the official position should be not small. turned around and wanted to escape, but seeing that all the people in the house were not weak in martial arts, they were afraid that they would be divided by a chaotic blade before they got out of the house, so they had to bow their heads tremblingly and remain silent.

"The man on the left said, 'You are Zhuang Yulou?' voice was high-pitched, and it was extremely useless to listen to it. I whispered, "It's exactly under you!" The man nodded and said, "Legend has it that you have achieved light skills, and your bone shrinking skills are unparalleled in the world, I don't know if it's right or not?" I was startled, that bone shrinking skill was stolen from an ancient tomb by chance, and no one in the world knew, how could this person actually know? Brother Yu saw that I hesitated and didn't answer, and pushed me on the side, and I came to my senses and hurriedly said: "Weimo Kung Fu, the master of the sect smiled." The man smiled slightly, then asked no more questions, and took his teacup and drank his tea. When I saw that the cup he was holding was carved from jadeite, it was crystal clear, and if it was placed on the market, it would be 10,000 taels of silver and I would not want to buy it.

"The man on the right said: 'Mr. Yu's friend, he must be reliable, you can take him down.' Brother Yu answered and motioned for me to bow and leave. I gave a salute in a daze, and then withdrew from the main hall with Brother Yu.

"Brother Yu took me to a side house, and then asked me what I was doing in Huguang. I had to tell him about this deal, Brother Yu laughed, and said, "There is a big deal right now, but I don't know if your brother is interested?" As soon as I heard the word 'big deal', I stood up and said, "But it is driven by Brother Yu!" Brother Yu said: "You must not have seen those two adults just now." I can tell you that these two are the big men of the court. The one on the left is Xu En, the eunuch of Dongchang, and the one on the right is Jinyiwei, who is in charge of the punishment of thousands of households. ’”

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he said: "I didn't expect that Second Brother Zhuang would know Yun Feiyang more than ten years ago. That Xu En was also majestic back then, only under Zhang Yong, the governor of Dongchang. It's just that this person suddenly disappeared later, and no one in the palace dared to mention it, but he was secretly executed by the emperor. ”

Yan Dufei said: "It turns out that Zhuang Yulou, the world-famous flying thief in the past, is the second brother Zhuang, which is amazing." ”

Zhuang Hengyun waved his hand and said: "The two of you laughed, Zhuang's reputation in the rivers and lakes was not very good back then, and this Zhuang Mou was the same in his heart." It's just that the brothers didn't know the names of Xu En and Yun Feiyang at that time. But I knew about Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and my face turned white with fright at that time. Seeing that I was scared, Brother Yu hurriedly waved his hand at me and said, "Don't worry, brother, they can't look down on your little case at all." As long as the elder brother does this well, glory and wealth are just around the corner. ’

When I heard him speak solemnly, my heart was overjoyed. But after thinking about it, what even the big names of Dongchang and Jinyiwei can't do, it must be a big thing, how can I do it? Brother Yu saw that I was hesitant in my heart, and said, "Brother, if you want to be a master, you must endure all the hardships. Big brother told you the truth, as long as you do this for the two adults, Brother Zhuang's bottom will be whitewashed, and you can get a lot of silver!"

"I thought about it, since it is for Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is for the imperial court, and if something happens, Xu En and Yun Feiyang will naturally be on top. Besides, since I have already met them, if I do not agree, these people are afraid that they will kill people. No matter how great my ability is, how can I escape the pursuit and killing of Dongchang and Jinyiwei? Stretching out my head is a knife, and shrinking my head is also a knife, it is better to gamble with my life, maybe there will be another life! I immediately agreed to Brother Yu. Brother Yu was overjoyed and said, "It's good for my brother to agree, and our brothers will work together to make him a big vote!" The two brothers must be able to guess it. ”

Yan Dufei said: "I think it's He Yi, Zhu Ming, and Zhou Jingtian. ”

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Yes, it's just that I didn't know the names of these three brothers at that time, and the names they used in the rivers and lakes at that time were not the later names." ”
