Chapter 1 Big Locust Street (2nd Watch)

The capital of Baiguo, like all national capitals, is full of traffic and rubbing shoulders, and it is like a paradise, full of legends and opportunities.

"Have you heard, the little scholar of Zhao Wangfu has another concubine's room, it is said that he came from a remote county town, and he has also read books!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Be careful that the people of the Jinyi Guard listen to you, and arrest you and send you to jail!"

At a roadside breakfast stall, two middle-aged men in brocade robes hooked their shoulders and said that the two of them, like all the people who lived in the capital, liked to talk about the gossip of the royal family and the families of the prime ministers and officials.

Xue Zha sat at the table next to these two people, he was wearing a white robe, carrying a bookcase, and came to the capital of Baiguo alone.

From that day when Sun Banxian, the proprietress and Liu Xiaoguo and Dong Chengcheng were arranged to do things in Wutong Academy, half a year has passed until today.

Xue Zha has done a lot of things in the past six months, such as opening the Ruhua Inn all over the cities of Longzhou, such as letting the Axe Gang managed by Sun Banxian unify the low-level gangs in the entire Longzhou territory, such as he also built Wutong Academy into an advanced academy.

In Wutong Academy, not only the poems that readers want to learn, but also the idioms that Jianghu people want to use, Xue Zha even set up a signboard: four big characters on the book [those who come do not refuse].

The concubine of Xinna, the little scholar of Zhao Wangfu, who the two people were talking about just now, was the result of a discerning and well-informed old mother learning from him, and unconsciously, he had begun to influence the world.

Xue Zha finished breakfast and threw a few big bucks on the table, he said hello to the boss and left, without much words.

Through this half a year, he learned a lot about the Wenyu Continent.

For example, most of the common people in the White Country use copper plates to settle their accounts, so that those who pay silver and gold are either scholars or Jianghu people, and it is easy to attract the attention of others.

Just like Xue Zha now, he is simply alone, wearing a white-washed white robe with a round neck, carrying a bookcase, with a childish and innocent face, and many big girls and little daughters-in-law who have walked by him have thrown numb and crispy eyes at him.

Xue Zha couldn't find the Ruhua Inn in the capital, but he had a mansion that Cai Guoxi had set for him in advance.

He walked a few more streets, and after turning into a sparsely populated alley, he saw an old locust tree more than 20 meters tall in the distance.

Xue Zha walked briskly, and when he was about to reach the gate of a mansion under the big locust tree, a group of men in short shirts surrounded him.

"Boy, my brother didn't eat in the morning, look at your kindness, borrow a few copper plates for use. ”

The first of these people, as he spoke, he came to touch Xue Zha's sleeve, and the people in the Wenyu Continent were all dressed up in ancient China, and the position of loading things was generally in the cuffs of the wide robe and big sleeves, which was easy to use, and it was also convenient to give gifts directly when shaking hands intimately.

This person is obviously an expert, and it is estimated that he has touched people's cuffs, and he doesn't know the arrangement in Xue Zha's cuffs, but he can also touch the pockets there.

"Hehe, boy, I don't see it...... It's quite rich, so I'll take a few more. ”

"Hehe......"

Xue Qipi nodded with a smile, he originally thought of keeping a low profile in the capital, but he didn't expect that there were such eyeless people everywhere.

"Damn, you never thought that Lao Tzu, a poor scholar, dared to go alone, why didn't you have a stunt!"

As he spoke, his body had already rushed forward, and his shoulder slammed straight into the throat of the man in front of him, but before he was about to kill the other party, Xue Zhe lowered his shoulders and only hit the man's chest.

With a bang, this person was hit by Xue Zha and vomited blood and flew back, and the other people who robbed the road with him retreated in panic, Xue Zha didn't bother to deal with this kind of person, with his current status as Xue Gongzi, and then he was in general with these people, it was too embarrassing.

Under the frightened gaze of these people, Xue Zha walked to the door of the mansion under the big locust tree.

On some of the vermilion gates with paint off, there was a large iron lock weighing three catties, Xue Zha took out his pocket, took out a lotus-shaped key handle of the flower key, opened the lock, he walked in, before closing the door, he looked at the road not far away lying on the road and could not stand up The robber man, after frowning, he said: [Wonderful hand rejuvenation].

A golden finger appeared out of thin air, and the finger poked and poked, and soon the guy lying on the ground stood up comfortably.

Xue Zha saw that there was nothing wrong with this person, so he shook his head and pushed the door to close from the inside.

He turned around, glanced at the courtyard full of wild grass and fallen leaves, and just shook his head to clean it with an idiom or poem, but heard a knock on the door behind him.

"Old ...... Lord, little one...... The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he asks the master to punish him!"

The man spoke, plopping down, and he must have fallen to his knees.

Xue Zha ignored it, probably because he saw that he knew idioms, and he had such a big house, and he wanted to climb it, he wouldn't want this kind of person.

"How do you clean up all the cobwebs, the weeds, and the fallen leaves?"

Xue Zha touched his chin and pondered, but saw several heads exposed on a wall, one of which was the one who just wanted to dig into his pocket.

"Uh...... Aren't you kneeling at the door?"

Xue Zha asked.

The man smiled, he didn't see outside, he directly supported his hands, shook his legs, and jumped into the courtyard wall.

This guy trotted in front of Xue Zhe in three or two steps, and in the process, he gestured to the others on the wall behind him, signaling them to be calm.

Xue Zha waited for this guy to come closer before asking, "What's your name, it seems to be a little clever?"

"Hey...... Hey, hey!"

He didn't speak, just scratched his head and laughed, and only said after a while: "My name is Niu Hu, I am a gangster of the generation of Da Huai Shu Street, look at the old man, you are a fresh face, so I want to come up and try my luck, who knows that I have touched the iron plate." ”

"Hmm...... Just know it. ”

Xue Zha pointed to the wall where he jumped in and said, "Niu Hu...... Knowing that I am an iron plate and dare to climb over the wall to come in, believe it or not, I will knock you half to death again!"

Niu Hu raised his head and met Xue Zha's resolute gaze, he hesitated and asked tentatively: "Master, are you...... Aren't you alone in need of some errand runners?"

"I, and my brothers, are gangsters and have no prospects, but we know the capital well...... Where there is a passage, where dates can be planted outside the walls of people's courtyards, we brothers know it. ”

"No, you don't. ”

Xue Zha did not hesitate, although his mind had loosened, he felt that he had to continue to test this kid.

Niu Hu was a little anxious, he raised his hand to his chest, his head slightly forward and asked, "That...... Then sir, your yard has to be cleaned, right?"

"What's more, not to mention that a scholar like you, when you come to the capital this season, you must be here to take the imperial examination, if you don't even have a long follower and a person who listens to orders when you enter the Tribute Academy, you ...... You will be seen as an outlier by others. ”

Xue Zha's eyes flashed, he was already planning to leave this bull and tiger behind.

But he still smiled and said, "If I say that I am a smelly and hard stone, and I don't care about other people's eyes, what should you say, calf?"

Niu Hu is almost crazy, but he can be the leader of the gangsters, and seeing that he can make so many brothers on the wall hold back with one gesture, he is obviously still a little more brainy than ordinary people.

He suddenly patted his head and pointed at Xue Zha, "Master, what did you just call me? You call me Xiaoniu, you don't treat me Niuhu as an outsider......!"

He slapped his slap happily, and regardless of whether he guessed correctly or not, he turned around and waved his hand to the brother on the wall and beckoned, "Come on...... Brothers, come down to work, let's help the master clean up the yard quickly, maybe the master is in a good mood, and he will just leave us for lunch!"
