Chapter 42: First Acquaintance with the Great Ancestral Palace

A few days passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Du Shenfei was not alone, and came to the city to find out how the situation was. Sure enough, I heard everywhere that the "Broken Hall Charity Association" was giving a large amount of silver taels, and I heard people say that it was a pity that the money of Zeng Bodhisattva in the Great Ancestor Hall was robbed by the strongman.

Du Shenfei thought: "Could it be that the thousands of taels of silver we robbed belonged to this great-ancestor palace? I just don't know who this person is?" Seeing five or six talented people on the side of the road talking about this, Du Shenfei came close to listen.

I only heard one person say: "A good Zeng Bodhisattva, is a great good person, this time I went to Chuzhou to buy quilts and clothes for more than 10,000 taels of silver, I don't know which gang of gangsters robbed them, those gangsters who should really kill a thousand knives." ”

Du Shenfei said secretly: "Obviously there are only six thousand taels, saying that there are more than ten thousand taels, is there anyone who embezzled thousands of taels from it?"

Du Shenfei asked the man: "A few gentlemen, what kind of person is this Great Ancestor Palace?"

Na Xiucai saw that Du Shen was not a talent, and responded: "If you want to say that this former is an outsider, he will serve the nine thoughts of a gentleman, follow the four don'ts of a saint, the goodness of adults, and the wrongness of people." He is a compassionate and kind person, with a family of tens of millions, a rich and generous service, and he must do good, printing scriptures, building temples, building bridges and paving roads, burying his bones, and giving gifts to relatives and friends, and helping his neighbors, it is not enough to do his best. ”

Du Shenfei listened, frowned, and asked, "May I ask sir, where does this great-ancestor palace live?"

Xiucai said: "It's on Kaifusi Street, the courtyard to the west, and there are several big pine trees at the door, which is his house." ”

When Du Shenfei heard this, he was taken aback again, wasn't that Zeng Yiduo's home? It turned out that the Great Ancestor Hall was his father. He and Zeng Yiduo have been friends for so long, but they came to rob his family's silver taels.

The more Du Shenfei thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and suddenly a thought went to Zeng Yi's family.

Du Shenfei came to Zeng Yi's house, and saw that many family members inside were packing up their belongings, and they may have been damaged by Jin Bing.

Du Shenfei knocked on the small door a few times and said, "Is Zeng Yuan at home?"

A short, stocky, well-dressed man who looked like a housekeeper raised his head, stared at Du Shenfei and asked, "Who are you?"

Du Shenfei said loudly: "Please go in and tell the staff, just say that the person who robbed your family is here." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he frowned, stared at Du Shenfei for a long time, and then ran in quickly, and after a while, he came out and said to Du Shenfei: "Son, please come in! ”

Du Shenfei came to the door, and saw that in the courtyard, the garden was elegant and the scenery was beautiful. There is a pool in the middle, and there is a rockery in the pool, and the strange rocks are craggy, and water is spewing out from the stones. There are many flowers and plants planted next to the pool, the trees compete for strangeness, the peaks and peaks are stacked and green, and it is extremely elegant.

Du Shenfei crossed the small stone bridge in the courtyard and walked towards the living room.

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties who was slightly chubby and stood up to greet him, and asked with his fists in his fists: "Why is the king here to come to the grass people?"

Du Shenfei listened, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I really don't hide it from the outsider, I am not the king of the mountain, but I am the one who robbed the outside of the staff 6,000 taels of silver." ”

The man was puzzled, and said, "Oh, since the king has succeeded in robbing the silver taels, how can he find my house again? Isn't it enough? Or do you have other intentions?"

Du Shenfei said: "I do have other intentions in the next place, and I have come to ask for guilt from outside the staff." ”

The man said, "Oh, please?"

Du Shenfei said: "Exactly, the next one is that I don't know that this is the property of the outsider, and the second is that I don't know that the outsider is a compassionate and kind person." Just because I came into the city today, I heard all the people in the city talk about the loss of money outside the staff, and I heard that the outside was a good person, so I came to ask for sin. ”

The member was not happy or angry, but calmly said, "Since you have this good thought, it is your conscience, and you don't have to blame yourself too much." It's just that what did you do with those silver taels?"

Du Shenfei said: "It's not a secret, it's the three of us who robbed the silver taels outside the staff." Except for the three of us, who each took two hundred taels of silver, the rest has been handed over to a man named Monk Potang, who has set up a charity association for Potang, and is now in the city for disaster relief. ”

The man listened and laughed, "In that case, it is just right to use it in the right place." Because of the cold winter and the lack of cold protection in the city, my silver was also transported to Chuzhou to purchase quilts and clothes to distribute to the affected people. I never thought that you would take it and transport it back to Tanzhou City, but it was still given to the affected people. This is also a merit for you and me. I also know the monk who broke the hall, and I heard him talk about the fact that someone donated a large amount, so I know a little about it. In this way, he is an honest man. ”

Du Shenfei said: "It's just that it's obviously six thousand taels, but why do you hear people say it's more than ten thousand taels?"

Great-ancestor said: "It's six thousand taels of silver every time, and when I saw that I was kidnapped for the first time, I arranged to go a second time." It's just a coincidence, but I didn't expect to be kidnapped and left. ”

Du Shenfei said: "I see. The six thousand taels I took should be regarded as a loan from an outsider, and he will definitely return it one day, hoping that the outsider will forgive me. ”

The man laughed and said, "I have read a lot of people, and I have never seen a thrifty person who is not enough to move his heart with six thousand taels of silver." The high wind is admirable!"

Du Shenfei asked: "The silver taels outside the staff were robbed again, may I ask the staff outside, on which day was it robbed?"

Zeng Zudian thought for a while and said, "One is the fourth day of the junior high school, and the other is the sixth day of the junior high school, which day did you do this?"

Du Shenfei said: "It's the fourth year of junior high school." He also asked, "Where was the person kidnapped?"

Great-ancestor Hall said: "It is near Jianfeng Village." ”

Du Shenfei asked, "What is this Jianfeng Village?"

Great-ancestor hall said: "This Jianfeng village is close to Chuzhou, this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is occupied by a group of thieves who rob houses and houses, and they are kings there." ”

Du Shenfei listened and said with a smile: "Needless to say, this silver tael was robbed by the people in this cottage." ”

Great-Ancestor Hall nodded and said, "Presumably so." ”

Du Shenfei said: "The 6,000 taels that were robbed behind the staff, I am willing to make a little effort to find it for the outside." It's just that the six thousand taels I have seized cannot be retrieved for the time being, and I am willing to set up an IOU to give to the staff, and I will pay it back in the future, and I will never lose my trust. ”

Zengzu Dian smiled slightly and said, "I am really an honest and honest person, so open-minded, it is admirable. It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it. He paused for a moment, and then asked, "How do you dare to ask the foot?"

Du Shenfei said: "Under the surname Du, the name is Shenfei." ”

Hearing this name, the Great Ancestor Hall thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that Wang Xianren's apprentice, that Du Shenfei who begged for rain?"

Du Shenfei said: "It's exactly here, but I'm not an apprentice of Wang Xianren, and I won't ask for rain." That time to ask for rain, I was only on the order of a Taoist chief to go to the stage. Maybe that Dao Master was the apprentice of Wang Xianren. I really don't know why it rained, and I don't even know why it rained. ”

Great-Ancestor Hall laughed when he heard this.

At this time, I saw a young man coming out of the back gatehouse, running to Du Shenfei and saying, "Haha! Brother Du, it turns out that you robbed my family's silver?"

When Du Shenfei looked at it, it turned out to be Zeng Yiduo, so he was very ashamed and said: "Brother, I'm really embarrassed, I really don't know it's your family." But don't worry, I will definitely pay back this money. ”

Seeing these two people calling each other brothers, Zengzu Hall looked a little surprised and asked, "You two know each other?"

Zeng Yiduo smiled and said, "Yes! We are friends." Last time, the golden python and the five-step snake chased me and fought, thanks to the fact that he saved me, otherwise I would have been damaged by them. ”

When the great ancestor heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thanks to the rescue of the dog, I am very grateful." ”

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, I'll go to find this person who took away the money from the outsider now, and I must succeed immediately." Please wait outside for good news. ”

The great-ancestor hall was overjoyed, and he still had to keep the meal, so Du Shenfei said goodbye and left.
