Chapter Twenty-Seven: Scattering the Bait
In the middle of the night, Bai Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and silently exercised his mind, and suddenly heard a "squeak" from outside the door, and then the sound of footsteps went away, and he knew that it was Gao Lao Er who went out, so he stepped out of the door and secretly followed him.
Gaojiazhai is located between the mountains, there is no entertainment on weekdays, at this time in the middle of the night, the people in the village will go to bed early, only the guard and the guard of the night patrol are parading around.
Bai Cheng walked out of the courtyard gate, flew up to the house, flew between the roofs, stared at Gao Lao Er from afar, saw that he walked briskly, was alert, and was about to be bumped into by the guards several times, all of them flashed one by one, and his heart moved, and secretly said This is a useful talent, if there is a chance, you might as well cultivate one or two.
Gao Lao Er looked while walking, but with a stick of incense, he had come to the main gate of the Sun family's old house, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and stepped forward to knock lightly.
After a while, an old servant in Tsing Yi carried a red paper lantern, coughed as he walked, pushed the door out, and the old servant saw that it was Gao Lao's second servant, and was furious, and shouted: "Gao Huan, do you still dare to come?
Gao Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said softly: "Don't be loud, I'm here to solve the troubles of Dianshan Gong." ”
The old servant's face changed: "Is this true?"
Gao Huan Zhengse said: "How dare the villain make a joke about the palace mountain prince. ”
The old servant thought for a while and said, "Well, forgive me for not daring, wait for me here, and wait for me to go and report it." ”
After that, the old servant closed the door, turned around and walked towards the house with the lantern, and after a while, opened the door again and beckoned Gao Huan to enter.
Seeing Gao Huan enter the Sun house, Bai Cheng flew up to the main house of the Sun family, leaned forward between the ridges of the roof, and looked at the situation in the courtyard by the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, the old servant in Tsing Yi walked in front with a red paper lantern, Gao Huan looked respectful, kept silent, followed closely behind him, and the two walked along the verandah to the inner courtyard.
On both sides of the verandah, there are some peach and plum fruit trees, and some plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums are raised, although they are all ordinary things, but they become landscapes, and it is obvious that there are big ravines in the chests of the planters.
After a short walk, the two crossed the courtyard gate and came to the inner courtyard.
The old servant in Tsing Yi took Gao Huan to the door of the study, knocked on the door, only to hear a "hmm" inside, the old servant pushed open the door and let Gao Huan walk in, but he was guarding the door.
Bai Cheng saw the old servant in Tsing Yi guarding the door from a distance, hesitated slightly, touched a tile on the ridge, worked hard, crushed a corner, and flicked it lightly, knocking off a tile from the eaves of the side house.
The old servant stood at the door of the study, and suddenly heard a "pop" sound from the side, and hurriedly turned around to look, but a tile slipped down, Bai Cheng took the opportunity to jump up from the roof of the outer courtyard, and performed the "floating cloud style" in the thirteen styles of breaking jade, his arms were spread, and he fanned slightly, like a bird gliding, and fell on the roof of the inner courtyard, walked a few steps, came to the roof of the study, and bent down to listen to the conversation in the room.
"The villain Gao Huan has seen the prince of Dianshan. ”
"What is the matter with coming here at night?"
"The villain came here only because of injustice. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Cui and Ma are the two altar masters, in my village to bully people, although the villain has to bend down to serve, but he does not dare to forget his origin, so after thinking about it, I thought of a plan to resolve this matter. ”
"Thou art faithful, but thou don't know what the best plan is?"
"The villain listens to the words of the two altar masters in the house on weekdays, their master is the ancestor of the hall Lu Jianshan, this person is very domineering, a few days ago in the bedside of several directors to send a letter to leave a knife is this person, the most greedy for money, Cui, Ma two people do is this person instructed. However, although this person is rampant and domineering, he also has a pair of heads in the door, and he has no choice but to do it, that is, Sun Daohai Patriarch, if the heads of the Dianshan Gong Joint Famous Village write a letter and send someone to send it to Gaojiazhai under the door of Sun Zushi, you can easily drive Cui and Ma away. ”
"Well, that's the way to do it, but I'm afraid that the front door will refuse the tiger and the back door will enter the wolf!"
"Don't worry about Dianshangong, the villain has inquired clearly, Patriarch Sun is a noble person, and he is most unaccustomed to these camps, and he will be safe under his door. ”
Hearing this, suddenly someone in the room slammed the table and shouted: "The boy is so daring! This plan is nothing more than pulling my Gaojiazhai into the whirlpool, who taught you such words?"
If the prince of Dianshan does not believe it, the villain is willing to die to prove his innocence!"
There was silence in the room for a long time, and after a long time, I heard: "In this case, you leave first, I will think about it again, if it is feasible, I will let people find you, but today's events will not be passed on much!"
After that, the door opened, and an old man in a blue robe walked out of the house, it was Sun Dianshan, the head of Gaojiazhai, and Gao Huan respectfully followed behind him.
When the old servant in Tsing Yi saw Sun Dianshan coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Does the master have any orders?"
Sun Dianshan frowned and said, "You send him out, and after sending him off, he will go to the front yard to rest, and there is no need to wait when he comes back." ”
The old servant nodded yes, and took Gao Huan out with a lantern.
Sun Dianshan saw that the two of them were far away, and no longer entered the study, frowning slightly, as if it was difficult to make a decision, suddenly his brows stretched again, looked up at the hanging moon in the air, and said loudly: "Since the master of the altar is here, why don't you show up, but there is a fate, Sun Mou dares not disobey." ”
Bai Cheng was lying on the roof, and suddenly heard Sun Dianshan shouting loudly, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head, patted the roof beside him, rose up with his strength, floated to the ground from the roof, and said with a smile: "Sun Lao is really resourceful. ”
Sun Dianshan smiled bitterly: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, and the little old man knows that the master of the mattan is a good person, so he just gave it a try." Alas, don't tell lies in front of real people, this Gao Huan was sent by the master of the altar?"
Bai Cheng clapped his hands lightly and said, "It's that I'm a little kid, yes, this person is indeed sent by me." ”
Seeing him admit it, Sun Dianshan asked, "In this way, there is something in the heart of the little old man who is puzzled. ”
Bai Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "But it's okay to talk about it." ”
Sun Dianshan asked: "Listen to Gao Huan, the respected master is the chief of Lu Dao in the hall, in this case, why did the two altar masters blindly ask for money when they entered my Gaojiazhai, and did this act of killing chickens and eggs, and why did they send Gao Huan to let me wait to invite Patriarch Sun here?"
Bai Cheng groaned slightly, and said: "I didn't want to talk about this matter, but since Sun Lao asked, I didn't hide it, to tell the truth, the family teacher of Gaojiazhai didn't want to pay attention to it, but Sun Daohai, the family teacher has long been regarded as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it quickly." ”
Sun Dianshan said: "Since this is the case, the little old man is even more puzzled. ”
Bai Cheng stroked his palm lightly and said softly: "Just because I not only want Elder Sun to invite Sun Daohai here, but also invite the three patriarchs of Tianlongmen to come here, if they meet each other, the family teacher must be very happy." ”
Hearing this, Sun Dianshan took a cold breath and said in a low voice: "It turns out that Patriarch Lu wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
Bai Cheng said: "Exactly. ”
Sun Dianshan was speechless for a while, and suddenly bowed down and bowed: "Gaojiazhai is willing to do everything to worship the hall, only ask the master of the altar to raise his noble hand and spare the village." ”
Bai Cheng was displeased: "This matter is that I bypassed you, but if it is a big matter for Patriarch Lu, will his old man spare you? The messenger died here, will the patriarch of Tianlongmen spare you? Now Gaojiazhai is under attack from left and right, and if you are not careful, it will become two battlefields, and when the time comes, the jade will be burned, and I am afraid that a piece of family business will become a cake, but if you obey the arrangement of the teacher, not only can you spend it safely, but also have the opportunity to swallow Niutouzhai in one fell swoop." ”
When Sun Dianshan heard this, he knew that he had no choice, sighed, and said, "Since this is the case, Xiao Lao'er should take this matter." ”
Seeing that he responded, Bai Cheng smiled and said: "Elder Sun is really an understanding person, if this matter can be done, the position of the altar master belongs to Elder Sun." ”
Sun Dianshan didn't speak, arching his hand just smiled bitterly.
After Baicheng finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said: "The matter that you and I discussed today was secretly arranged by Patriarch Lu, and we must never talk about it with others, even in front of Lord Cui Tan, we must not mention a word." ”
After that, Bai Cheng flew up to the roof, and in a few crossings, he was gone, leaving only Sun Dianshan to meditate on the moon.
On the morning of the second day, Bai Cheng was sitting in the house, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, pushed the door and saw that it was Gao Huan standing outside the door, so he let him into the house.
Gao Huan came to the house, took out a letter from his chest, and said: "This morning, the Duke of Dianshan convened all the principals to discuss, and decided to invite Patriarch Sun to come here, and has now written a joint letter, and the Duke of Dianshan handed the letter to me, asking me to personally send the letter into the city. ”
Bai Cheng opened the letter, flipped through it, and said: "You go to the Duke of Dianshan and ask him to send two more horsemen with you, and if there is any news in the hall, send it immediately by horse, and there must be no mistake." ”
Gao Huan nodded yes, but did not leave.
When Bai Cheng saw that he was not leaving, he knew that something was wrong and asked, "If there is anything else, you might as well talk about it." ”
Gao Huan knelt down on his knees with a "snap" and said: "Although the villain is only shallow in learning, he is also a little anxious, and he is willing to follow the master of the mattan left and right and obey the dispatch of the lord of the matan." ”
Bai Cheng was stunned, stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked with a smile in his mouth: "I'm just a small deputy altar master, and I can't do it for many days, so it's no good for you to follow me." ”
Gao Huan didn't get up, and said: "The villain has been poor since he was a child, he has never read, and he has no ability, and then he was fortunate to follow Gao Taigong's side, and he learned some skills to see people. ”
After Bai Cheng heard what he said, he groaned for a while, and said, "Well, since you have a heart, I will give you a chance, as long as you can handle this matter, follow me." ”
Gao Huan was overjoyed, kowtowed three times on the ground, and then got up to leave.
Bai Cheng stood in the house, watched him go away, laughed a long time, and said: "Dig a deep pit and wait for tigers and leopards, sprinkle incense bait to catch golden turtles, if this plan is successful, you will not worry that the people of Huang Tiandao will not show up." ”
