On the streets of Youzhou City.

Sishui was carrying a heavy package and was wandering leisurely. He hummed a little tune in his mouth, and from time to time he had to look at the stalls around him, looking uncomfortable.

About a quarter of an hour later, he looked at a small four-cornered building in front of him, and smiled slightly.

I saw that there are only two floors in this building, and there is a wooden pillar hanging from the eaves of the second floor, and a long rope is hung on the pillar, which hangs straight down. There were also several huge hollow coins tied to the rope. There is a signboard hanging on the lintel on the first floor, which reads: Sihai Money Village.

Sishui took the package backwards and strode in.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard two people whispering inside.

"Don't be too late tonight. When the time comes, I won't be able to find a good seat, and I won't wait for you. ”

"Good. I'll explain things to the guy today, and I'll go out earlier. You relax, you won't be late. ”

Sishui coughed lightly, and the two of them noticed him.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in dark green satin, wearing a brown copper coin pattern coat, squinted his small eyes, rubbed his hands to greet him, and said with a smile: "Is this guest officer saving money or withdrawing cash?" ”

Sishui raised his head and didn't answer, just wrapped his hand on a stack of wooden tables.

With a bang, it slammed heavily on the wooden case.

The middle-aged man laughed even more happily when he heard this, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he didn't know if he could see people in his eyes at this time. I opened the package and counted it carefully.

The other person saw that the business was inconvenient to disturb, so he took his leave and left.

Si Shui casually pulled a stool and sat down, and then a man dressed as a guy stepped forward to serve tea. Si Shui took a sip of tea lightly, looked at the shopkeeper who counted the money, and couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect that I would be able to have such a windfall one day, and a random ingot would be enough for me and Chen Qiao to buy a bride price and decorate a new house. You can also turn over the old house for Daddy Chen. He was thinking about it in his heart when a voice in his ear interrupted his thoughts.

"This guest officer, there are a total of one hundred and fifty taels of gold here. Do you want to deposit it all into our bank?"

Sishui thought about it for a while, and said, "Scatter fifty taels of silver for me, and store the rest in it." ”

"Good. The middle-aged man nodded again and again, turned to the man and ordered, "Then prepare fifty taels for the guest officer, and then the rest must be deposited in the silver treasury, and then take one thousand four hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets." ”

The man hurriedly answered and turned his head to do it.

"I just heard what you said about the west of the city tonight, is there any grand event?" Si Shui asked softly with a brush of tea leaves.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly at first, then sat down next to Sishui and explained: "Presumably, the guest officer is a foreign tourist, and he doesn't know the major events in the city in the past few days. In your spare time, shall I tell you about it?"

"Tell me about it. Sishui lowered his head and tasted tea and said.

The middle-aged man leaned towards Sishui, and said in a suppressed voice: "The first thing is the Lei Men Dart Bureau, the eldest lady of the Lei family competes to recruit relatives." I heard that a young man came that day, about the same age as the guest officer. is invincible in the ring, and even the eldest lady of the Lei family is not its opponent. I heard that he is still a spiritual master. However, Miss Lei has repeatedly been slighted on stage, and he is unwilling to marry her after his victory. Master Na Lei was furious and killed him on the spot...... Take him ......"

"Cough~~~~Cough~~~" Hearing this, Sishui choked for a while, and the tea in his mouth squirted out, coughing non-stop.

The middle-aged man was startled at first and hurriedly found him a facekerchief.

Sishui slowed down for a while before he spoke, "You just said... Say.... That one... How's the young man doing?"

"He was killed on the spot, and then his body was fed to the dogs. The middle-aged man was stunned and said slowly.

Sishui's face sank, and he asked helplessly: "Master Lei kills people in the street, is there no government to manage it?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. Master Lei is a spiritual master, and the government can't control this matter. I heard that the imperial court sent people from the Imperial Dragon Hall to find Master Lei, but nothing happened later. Presumably I'm also afraid of Master Lei. As he spoke, a look of awe appeared on his face.

Sishui looked helpless, where was he beaten to death on the street. Sure enough, people's words are terrifying, and after passing ten or ten hundred times, I don't know what it will become.

There is also the Imperial Dragon Hall of the Imperial Court, Duan Zixu once told him briefly. It is an organization of spiritual teachers who owe allegiance to the imperial court. It's not so much allegiance as shelter. Because the imperial court did not interfere too much with the Imperial Dragon Hall, it only occasionally distributed tasks to the hall and promised honorariums. Whether you want to do it or not, there is no mandatory requirement. However, if the emperor personally orders, the spiritual master in the hall will also feel his kindness and use it.

Therefore, the number of people who have joined the Dragon Hall is innumerable, and it is a very large organization of spirit masters.

Seeing where the middle-aged man was still chattering, Sishui waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, I've heard about this for a long time, and it's not new." Anything else?"

"Oh, there's one more piece. The middle-aged man did not feel lost because of Sishui's disdain, and still said with his eyes shining: "In the past few days, two batches of operas have come to the city, and they have performed in the city for three days. I've seen this with my own eyes, and it's really a god's power. It's so magical that it's not something ordinary people can do. I've watched a lot of hundreds of plays, and it's really rare to see them of this level. ”

"The one you mentioned, I've seen it once before, and I do have some skills. However, when I found out afterwards, I didn't feel new. Sishui smiled slightly and said.

"Yes, that guest officer is really discerning, I have seen many scenes, but I have not been able to see any clues. Moreover, I heard that tonight's performance is the master of those people. It's much better than them. No wonder I didn't want money before, but tonight the lion opened his mouth. It's already full of energy, and it's hanging our appetite. The middle-aged man said, shaking his head.

"Master, that group of people and masters?" Si Shui suddenly became interested when he heard this, and asked.

"Yes, in the west of the city, the newly built Baiju Building. If the guest officer is interested, he should do so as soon as possible. As soon as it gets dark, it's going to begin, guest officer, you're ......."

"The shopkeeper brought the broken silver and the silver ticket. You take inventory. ”

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he heard the guy behind him interrupt him.

So, the middle-aged man stopped the topic and ordered the silver ticket and broken silver. After a while, he handed it to the four sailors and said, "Guest officer, you take an inventory." ”

Sishui looked at it for a while, then put the silver into his sleeve, clenched his fists and said, "The shopkeeper, I will leave here first." ”

"Eh~ Guest officer, let's go. The shopkeeper also hurriedly returned the salute and sent Sishui to the door.

After Sishui went out, he trotted all the way back to the inn and told Duan Zi about the trick.

After listening to this, Duan Zixu's face sank, and he said: "No! When can I get to Xudu by walking and stopping like you, don't you forget what is the purpose of me accompanying you on the road?"

Sishui laughed and said flatteringly: "I know, I know." Go to Xudu to find a miracle doctor to heal my wounds, and then lift the ban in your body. ”

"Hmph!" Duan Zi snorted coldly and reproached: "Since you know, you are still so vexatious." And I said earlier that those people are magicians, and the means are very good. It's too late for me to hide, and you still have to join in the fun. ”

Sishui leaned forward, pinched Duan Zixu's shoulder, and said flatteringly: "If you don't go, you won't go, Brother Duan, don't be so angry." Then I have to find a way to solve this iron ring in my hand, I'll go to Lei Mansion and find that Lei Yueying. Brother Duan will be at the inn for a while, and I will be back in a while. ”

Sishui had long expected that Duan Zixu would object, and he had already thought of an excuse on the way back. Under the pretext, he said that he was going to Lei Mansion, and he would secretly go to see a hundred operas at that time. Then came back and lied to Duan Zixuan that Lei Yueying didn't want to see him, and asked Duan Zixu to help him run when the time came. First, I can go to see a hundred operas, and second, I don't need to see Lei Yueying's face. It's seamless.

Thinking of this, Sishui couldn't help but smile.

Duan Zixu glanced at him and said lightly: "Then since that's the case, I'll go with you." ”

"Huh?" Sishui looked embarrassed when he heard this, and Wei Wei said: "Then Master Lei is very fierce, maybe he still holds a grudge." Brother Duan went with me, it would be bad if he was implicated. ”

Duan Zixu ignored him, stood up by himself, and said as he walked: "You don't have to worry about this." The people of the Royal Dragon Hall had already intervened in this matter, and Lei Zhentian must not dare to make a mistake. Moreover, we are going to visit this time, and we should be fine if we don't hit the smiling person. As he spoke, he took out a golden prayer slip from his sleeve and shook it towards the four waters.

Seeing this, Sishui scolded in his heart. It turned out that Duan Zixu had been prepared for a long time, and he could be regarded as having drilled him.

But now that it had come to this, what could he say? Even if there were a thousand unwillingness in his heart, he could only obediently follow Duan Zixu and go to Lei Mansion.

Lei Mansion is located in the middle of Youzhou City, spanning two bustling streets. The two walked on foot for about half an hour before they came to the gate of the Lei Mansion.

The Lei Mansion and the Thunder Gate Dart Bureau are in one place, and even if the sky is getting dark, the lintel is still wide open. Although the Lei family has a lot of money, there is no luxury dress on the façade. There are only two simple white marble lions, and the paint of the eight gates has been mottled in a few places, and it has not been repainted. From a distance, I saw that inside the door, there were more than a dozen dart masters practicing there.

The two stepped forward, and Duan Zixu patted the door on the door.

"Bang Bang~~"

Hearing the sound, everyone inside stopped and looked back.

A yellow-clothed man raised his hand to signal to everyone, and then he started again. And he himself came up to him and asked, "Who are the two of you, and what do you want to teach here?"

"We are here to visit Master Lei, this is a post, please transfer it to my brother. Duan Zi clasped his fists and saluted, and handed over the prayer note in his hand.

"Wait a minute, may I ask if you Miss Lei is here?" Si Shui stepped forward and said first.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Lei Darttou is drinking tea in the inner hall, and Miss Lei has just gone out." ”

"I don't know where Miss Lei is going?" Si Shui couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Lei Yueying was not there, and asked hurriedly.

Wang Yuanwai invited him, and Miss Lei went to the Hundred Opera House in the west of the city to watch the Hundred Opera. The man replied truthfully.

"Then we'll bother you another day!" Sishui finished his words and hurriedly ran away with a joke.

Leaving the Lei tutor at a loss.
