Chapter 25: The Robbers in the Taoist Temple
The man named Lao Zhang hurriedly said: "Brother Hong, Ao Wu, you know, I am not a person who likes to lie and deceive my own brothers, I am indeed inquiring, because I have installed a little brother called 'Little Diamond Wind' under my command to be by Bai Yalou's side, to be an insider, he said that he heard very clearly, that Bai Xiyan sent Bai Yalou to collect all the money from their shops on the ground of this Linjiang Mansion, a total of more than 8,000 taels of silver. Brother Hong, www.biquge.info you see, this Bai Yalou did come to Linjiang Mansion today to collect money, which shows that I am not lying. But he didn't know how, he only had such a little silver on the ship. ”
A tall and thin man named Ao Wu said: "It's just strange that it's so late, where is Bai Yalou's rabbit cub? I turned over his broken ship, and I didn't see his figure." ”
Lao Zhang immediately said: "Brother Hong, yes, as soon as you say it, I remembered that there was really no such kid as Bai Yalou on the ship." Could it be that Bai Yalou went to the city to collect money and hasn't returned to the ship yet?"
The man known as Brother Hong: "It seems that we went too early. ”
Ao Wu immediately said: "Yes! Brother Hong is right! This rabbit cub must have gone somewhere to eat flowers and wine and play with women, and he didn't see a ghost." It seems that we did go too early. ”
Lao Zhang said: "Brother Hong, then should I call someone to see if that bastard has come back?" As soon as he comes back, he will definitely take back the silver, and we will do it immediately." ”
Brother Hong said: "You are stupid! Do our robbery, and have such a good thing." I collected the money and waited for you to rob twice or three times. ”
Ao Wu also said: "Brother Hong is right! We have already been there once, and even fools are ready. ”
Lao Zhang said: "Uh! Ao Wu, you don't understand this, I can't remember what the war book says, I can't remember the approximate meaning, that is, we have already been there once, they can't imagine that we dare to go again, so they don't take precautions, maybe this trip will be successful." ”
Brother Hong thought about it, and suddenly laughed and said: "Zhang Muniu, you kid, although you know a lot of characters, you can't even write your own name, but you can't see it, you really have two times, and you can also look at the military book, you really have made progress, and you can come up with such a good plan." Big brother, I really didn't cultivate you in vain. I think this is a feasible solution! Ao Wu, what do you think?"
Ao Wu thought for a while and said, "If you think about it carefully, Lao Zhang's method is still good." Just ......"
Brother Hong hurriedly asked, "Just what?"
Ao Wu said: "Brother Hong, I'm afraid that today Bai Yalou is spending all day drinking, visiting the kiln and playing with women, and he didn't collect any ghost money at all, or fooled around all night, and didn't come back to the boat at all, so we won't run in vain." ”
Brother Hong thought about it, nodded, and said, "Ao Wu also makes a lot of sense. In my opinion, this Bai Yalou is a loser who does not do his job, and it is very possible. At this time, I don't know which kiln and which woman's gentle township is comfortable. He burst out laughing.
Zhang Muniu and Ao Wu also laughed happily when they saw Brother Hong talking about this kind of thing.
Zhang Muniu took a big sip of wine, shook his head, and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that there are two big kilns in this Linjiang Mansion, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”
Ao Wu said: "Lao Zhang, what is the big kiln in Linjiang Mansion, where is it, let's hear it, next time I save some money, I must also go to see if there are any good goods." ”
Zhang Muniu laughed and said: "There are also many big kilns in Linjiang Mansion, but the two largest ones, I heard that they are both from Jinfeng Palace, one is called Jiufeng Tower, which is on Xiaotang Street, and the other is called Liuxiangyuan, which is on Datang Street. I've heard people say that these two families, each of which has two or three hundred vixens who are fascinated by death, and ah, each of them has several rare beauties in the world, but I heard that they are all ridiculously expensive!"
Brother Hong drank two more sips of wine and asked, "This is a beauty, how is it worth?"
Zhang Muniu said: "I heard that the girls they have there, if they take one out of the way, they will get at least two hundred taels of silver a night." Those nine beauties, I heard that they are much higher. ”
As soon as Brother Hong heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of wine and said, "Lao Tzu can only get two hundred taels of silver a year." They make money so fast, their pants are loose, and they work for a year, is that thing made of gold?"
This kind of topic is often the favorite topic of conversation among bachelors when they get together, especially when drinking.
"Hahahaha!" The dozen or so people sitting around the fire laughed loudly, and the place immediately burst into laughter.
Ao Wu laughed and said, "When my brother has two hundred taels of silver, I must also go and see if it is made of gold or silver?"
"Hahahaha!haha!"
At this time, the door of this dilapidated Taoist temple was pushed open with a "creak".
When everyone went to look at the door, they saw a dark figure suddenly appear at the door.
The figure looked darker in the moonlight behind it, and when viewed from the fire inside, it looked like a human figure cut from a piece of jet-black paper.
As soon as the man in black pushed the door open, he stood quietly in the doorway, staring at the crowd by the fire, motionless.
A dozen people by the fire, look at me, I look at you, no one knows who this person is? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
After a long time, Ao Wucai said, "Brother Hong, who do you think this person is? What are you doing here?"
Brother Hong said angrily: "How do I know what kind of birdman he is? What are you doing? Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Sure enough, Ao Wu turned to the black-clothed man at the door and asked loudly, "Hey, who are you, what are you doing here?"
All they heard was a cold, deep voice saying, "Who are you?"
Ao Wu said: "You ask who we are? Haha! Don't be scared when you say it. The horses are neutral, and the swords and guns are at home. Killing is like a joke, and robbery is a career. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
The man in black still said coldly, "Oh? You said you were robbing?"
Ao Wu said: "Yes! It is the good man who robbed." Since you have met us today, if you have any silver on you, I advise you to send it over as soon as possible and honestly, so as not to be crippled by the sword. As soon as I'm happy, I can give you a leftover pig's knuckle. ”
The crowd laughed again.
The man in black said, "I don't eat pig's feet, and I don't have any money!"
Ao Wu said: "If you don't have silver, you can use gold." It's easier to carry gold with you than silver!"
The man in black said coldly, "I don't have any gold. ”
