Early in the morning, Lang Qi drove the carriage into the Moon Palace Inn, the carriage stopped in front of the Chuntao Building, and jumped out of the car a brightly dressed young man, he was Chen Defu, and then came down to Shaoxing Master, Thin Monkey, Chen Defu was busy going up to help. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe three of them went up to the second floor and entered Peach's room.

Xiao Tao embroidered at the window, put down the needle and thread, smiled slightly, blessed the three of them, and continued to sit down to embroider, it seems that her face has lost some weight, and she looks more weak and delicate, Chu Chu is pitiful.

The three of them sat down, and after Yahuan served tea, they didn't have to be instructed and retreated. Master Shaoxing threw a look at the thin monkey, and the thin monkey immediately got up, walked to the door to stand guard, and closed the door casually.

Master Shaoxing said: "I heard that the girl has figured it out, I am very happy." May the girl be victorious, the horse will be successful, and the reward of 300,000 taels of silver can be obtained at her fingertips, and from then on, she will jump out of the Moon Palace Inn and live a life of glory and wealth. ”

Xiao Tao said: "If it succeeds, I don't want any of the 300,000 taels of silver, and no one in the Chen family is allowed to touch this silver." ”

Chen Defu said: "Then to whom?"

Xiao Tao said: "Donate to the most famous charity organization in the capital, Renai Hall." ”

She put down the needle and thread, opened the box, took out a small bag, handed it to Chen Defu and said, "This is the gold and silver jewelry I have accumulated, which is worth about 1,500 taels of silver." Brother, you can take it. ”

Chen Defu held the small bag and said, "Sister, you keep it, I can't accept it." ”

Xiao Tao said: "It's useless for me to keep it, after doing this, I'm going to go back to Suzhou and go to Ziyun Nunnery in Tianping Mountain to cut my hair and become a nun." ”

Chen Defu said: "Sister!"

Xiao Tao said: "Brother, I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more." Brother, you should also go back to Suzhou, Beijing is deep, if you are not careful, you will offend the dignitaries, it is not a place for you to stay, let's go. ”

Chen Defu said: "Okay, sister, let's go back to Suzhou together." ”

Xiao Tao said: "That's good." If there are three long and two short, brother, you can take my bones back to Suzhou and bury me on the sunny slope of Tianping Mountain, where I can see my hometown, my parents, and my family. Remember, don't forget. ”

Chen Defu burst into tears and said, "No, sister, don't say such things." Actually, he understands that this possibility can't be said to be none, if Ding Piaopeng is aware of it, he will be alive.

Xiao Tao said to Master Shaoxing: "If I am lucky enough to be alive, the matter of leaving the Moon Palace Inn will trouble adults, so I don't need to spend redemption fees." ”

The master said: "No, no, no, everything is wrapped up in me." ”

Xiao Tao said: "If it succeeds, the Criminal Department must strictly keep it a secret and not leak my and my brother's names, otherwise, the Chen family will be in danger." ”

The master said: "Yes, never mention it, and keep it secret." ”

The master said again: "Girl, what else do you want, just say it." ”

Xiao Tao said: "Enough, it's gone, it's really gone." ”

The master said: "Since the girl has finished speaking, then I will talk about it." ”

Xiao Tao said: "Adult, please." ”

The master said: "If Ding Piaopeng comes, the girl must be calm and not show the slightest panic." ”

Xiao Tao said: "I'll do my best." ”

The master took out a thumb-sized white porcelain bottle from his arms, walked up to Xiao Tao, and said, "Girl, take it, this small porcelain bottle contains the most poisonous poison in the world, known as the first poison in the world." It is said that it was decocted by the Changbai old demon a hundred years ago, and those who drank this poison, even if there was only one drop in the mouth, would definitely die, and there was no solution to this medicine, even if the Changbai old demon was alive, there was no antidote. For a hundred years, no one has survived anyone who has had poisonous juice on their lips. ”

Xiao Tao asked, "What is the poison called?"

The master said: "The ecstasy is broken. ”

Xiao Tao said: "Is it pill-like or powder-like?"

The master said: "Transparent powder, melt when you enter the water, colorless, odorless and tasteless." It's only a little bit of a fingernail, enough to poison an elephant or five cows. ”

Xiao Tao said: "Is it arsenic?"

The master said: "No, I heard that it is made with the poisonous juice of Hainan arrow poison wood, the venom in the mouth of Yunnan white-lipped bamboo leaf mussels, the venom gland of the poisonous centipede in the Solomon Islands and other ingredients. ”

Xiao Tao asked, "Do you sell it in pharmacies?"

The master said, "No." I bought it from a black market dealer, and it's worth a lot of money. This little powder actually costs three thousand taels of silver. It happens to be the price of a spacious courtyard house in the best part of the capital. ”

Xiao Tao said: "Could it be that the Criminal Department is also doing poison business sometimes?"

The master said: "The girl made fun of it, and the criminal department sometimes has to buy poison at a high price to deal with those criminals who can't be dealt with with with bows and arrows." ”

Xiao Tao said: "This medicine can't be fake, right?"

The master said: "I've already tried it." ”

Xiao Tao was surprised: "You can also try poison? Try it with a dog, pity the dog, it's a sin." ”

The master said: "No, try with people." ”

Xiao Tao was startled and said, "Employing people? really? Isn't that a murderer!"

The master said: "No, I tried it with a murderer imprisoned in prison." Nicknamed 'The Beast', the murderer was a burly man who looked as strong as a black bear and was a pig butcher at Beijing's East Gate. This person is tyrannical and exterminates humanity, because he disagrees with his neighbor for a few words, and his murderous appearance is revealed, he actually uses a pig-killing knife, and slaughters the neighbor's family of seven people, young and old, all of them, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime is heavy, and he has been sentenced to death, to be slaughtered after the autumn. We tried it with the 'beast', and we only picked a few with a toothpick and put it in the soup he was eating, and the 'beast' only took two sips, and then immediately fell to the ground, kicked both legs, and died. The 'beast' is innocent of death, and the girl does not need to be sentimental. ”

Xiao Tao said: "Oh, I see. ”

She carefully tugged the white porcelain vase into her arms.

The master said: "The girl has put it away, be careful, you can't sprinkle a little poisonous powder in your cup." ”

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, Xiao Tao doesn't want to die yet." ”

The master said to Chen Defu: "Don't stay here for a long time, we should go." ”

Chen Defu nodded, and said again: "Sister, be careful, after doing this, let's go home." ”

Xiao Tao smiled slightly and said, "I think about it, brother, don't worry." ”

Late at night, pitch black, starlight, as if there were nothing. Such a night is the safest for Ding Piaopeng. His eyes are very sharp, and he can distinguish things in the night, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

He was like a leaf, like a wisp of breeze, passing through the house and floating into the Moon Palace Inn.

He flew to the eaves of the second floor of the Water Lily Building, grasping the rafters with both hands, his toes hooked into the gaps in the rafters, his back almost attached to the rafters of the eaves, and listening intently to the movement in the window. The window was hidden, and a crack was opened, and in that crack, there must be a pair of thieves' hooked eyes, staring at the door of Chuntao Building, and the room was silent, as if there was no one.

After a while, someone whispered, "Is there a situation?"

Another said: "There's a bird." ”

Another human: "Be patient, how can you be a fast catcher if you are impatient." ”

A voice said, "Yes, Master Hu." ”

Hu Ye is an owl Hu Dafa, owls always go out at night, I heard that his night eyes are also quite good. I don't know who the head of the day shift is?

After a moment of silence, the owl asked, "Who is coming during the day?"

Humanitarian: "Thunderbolt pioneer Lei Wei, Shaoxing master, thin monkey, etc., and a large group of people, most of them stay in this house and stand by, and the young, handsome catchers pretend to be servants, and are placed at various points, on the surface, there is nothing abnormal, in fact, it is tighter than the night, the master means to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, always unremitting, twelve hours of continuous rotation, hey, is it a bit of a fuss?"

The owl said: "The master has the truth of the master, and it is not allowed to talk about the master behind his back." ”

The man said, "Yes, Master Hu." ”

Ding Piaopeng smiled when he heard this, let go of his hand, tiptoed a little, leaned against the eaves, floated to the back of the house, and pierced into the trees like a wisp of breeze.

Not far away, Third Brother Liu, who was crouching behind a tree, whispered to the wild lynx Erhei: "Follow him, and come back when you get to the wall." ”

Erhei nodded, swished, and ran out. In terms of light speed, within 100 meters, even Ding Piaopeng is not as good as Erhei, and Erhei has the blood of a snow leopard in his blood.

After a while, Erhei returned to the tree, and Third Brother Liu said softly: "Erhei, take me to the wall where the canopy goes out." ”

Erhei nodded and took Third Brother Liu to the wall. There were holly planted on the side of the wall, and there were a few small cypress and locust trees as shelter, but they were sufficient.

Outside the wall, however, there are several tall locust trees, with lush foliage and lush greenery.

Liu Sange swept out of the wall, and saw that this was the corner of the path along the wall of the Moon Palace Inn, and branched out to the side, forming a three-way crossing, the fork was full of tall elm trees on both sides, and the road was not wide, but it was enough for his own carriage to drive. He and Erhei ran along the fork in the road, and at the end of the fork in the road was a broad avenue, and next to the road was the "Home Inn where he stayed". I was overjoyed in my heart, and decided to take Xiao Er to take a fork in the road at dawn to familiarize myself with the situation, and then go to the Qianmen Inn to settle the account and bring all the luggage carriages to the small inn, so that I could pick up Ding Piaopeng at any time.

He judged that Ding Piaopeng would enter the Moon Palace Inn from the three forks no matter day or night, and the three forks were really an ideal entry and exit point.

In the afternoon, when the sun is in the west, the customers of the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn begin to come, and on the road in the park, there is always the laughter of the guests who are looking for pleasure, and at the same time, it is also mixed with the laughter of the beauties like silver bells. The day's hilarity has started again.

At this time, a bearded Persian merchant walked on the flower path, wearing a white silk turban on his head, a gorgeous silk robe inlaid with gold lace, soft boots of cow skin, and a huge ruby gold ring, and swayed towards the Spring Peach Tower.

A young and wealthy Persian merchant like this was a regular visitor to the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn, and no one would find it abrupt. One day, when they don't see any Persian guests, people will feel that something is missing.

The Persian merchant pushed open the door of the Chuntao Building, and the manservant on duty bowed down and said, "Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"

The Persian merchant patted his waist and said, "I have silver, what do I want to make an appointment, and if I make an appointment, don't I want silver?"

It is a thick and stiff Persian dialect Chinese, and in the eyes of these Persian merchants, silver is omnipotent, and silver can settle all the nerve-wracking things on the rivers and lakes.

Immediately, the Persian merchant took out some loose pieces of silver from his cuff and stuffed it into the manservant, and said, "All right, all right, go aside." With a flick of his hand, he pulled the manservant aside, and went upstairs.

The manservant looked at the back of the Persian merchant in a daze, and for a moment lost his opinion.

That manservant is not the authentic manservant of the Moon Palace Inn, but a capable catcher, his nickname is Ah Liutou, and people are so used to calling him that they have forgotten his real name. Ah Liutou was young and quite delicate, so he strengthened his training, disguised himself as a day-time manservant, and waited in the pit here.

At that time, Ah Liutou did not see anything, and there were two things that he felt were a little unusual: first, the Persian merchants did not make an appointment. Generally speaking, if the Persian merchant takes a fancy to the courtesan, he will let the servant come to make an appointment a day in advance, and they value the appointment the most, as if the word "reservation" was raised by these Hu people; secondly, even if there is no appointment, the counselor at the front desk will bring the guest to the Chuntao Building, but the Persian merchant does not have a consultant to guide the introduction, so he didn't come in from the front desk?

What should I do? Hurry up and report to Master Shaoxing, let Master go and get an idea, I am an errand runner, and it is my responsibility not to report it; if you report it, what do you say, what should you do, if it is really Ding Piaopeng, just rely on 20 of us to take him down? That is simply whimsical!

Thinking of this, Ah Liutou put a pot of chrysanthemums in the window, and putting chrysanthemums is a reward.

That's what the master told him, if you feel that the situation is different, put a pot of chrysanthemums in the window, I have my own arrangements, don't make a fuss, you still play the role of your Chun Taolou manservant as usual, be kind and polite, and don't show the dew.

What does it mean that you should not show the dew, and what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Whatever, you don't earn much money, but you have a lot of things! How much money to give, how much work to do, what to think about so much, can you spend money, top a fart!
