The air outside was a little cold, and at the gate of Zheng's mansion, Diao Lezi and his group all stood tall and folded their bellies, putting on a majestic appearance.

Big brother, shall we come back in two days?" asked Hua Peony.

"Shhhh Diao Lezi walked forward for a while, looked around, and suddenly whispered: "Quietly touch back, keep an eye on Zheng Qizhi's house, and see if the three little ghosts show up during the day." ”

Then, he swiped his hands left and right, and said, "Spread it all out, spread out from both sides, and be smart......"

Zheng Qizhi was in the middle of the mansion, and two young men in black hurriedly rushed in, clasped their fists and said, "Master Qi, a group of scoundrels have gone away." ”

"Hmph, if you dare to keep money for yourself before your wings are hard, you must bring the boy to punish him severely. Master Qi snorted coldly, beckoned his hand, and said, "Hall Master Zheng, come here with your ears." ”

Zheng Qizhi obediently obeyed Master Qi's words, and actually obediently stretched out his ears, while listening to Master Qi's whispering, he nodded frequently, and finally asked: "It's too wordy to do this, why don't you just soak the mouse in the vat?"

"Vulgar, ignorant!" Master Qi admonished: "Use your brains more in everything, being a thief is also a university question." ”

"Good, good, brain, brain. Zheng Qizhi said repeatedly.

"Bang, bang......" There was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

The clever tiger, the mountain monkey, and the fathead fish were escorted through the house, squatting in the corner, their eyes flashing with horror.

"Fugui, please whip and lift the water tank. Zheng Qizhi sat in the shadows, the hideous scars on his face were gilded with a murderous aura under the glow of the lights, and he shouted coldly, when the three of them heard the three words of lifting the water tank, their faces changed greatly, and their bodies trembled.

"Clever Tiger, you are too disrespectful, why don't you admit your mistake to the master and hand over the hidden silver. Liu Fugui, a young man in black, looked like a good man and said, "I begged the master for a favor, and all this should have never happened." ”

"Senior Brother Liu, I didn't hide any silver, I don't know what you're talking about. The clever ghost said calmly.

There was a "pop" sound.

Zheng Qizhi threw a water bowl out and shouted, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, give me a hard beating first." ”

The mountain monkey hurriedly shouted: "Master, I have been wronged, all the Xizi who came by the way today have been handed over to the master, and I don't dare to keep a copper plate." ”

"You kid is really a chair with a broken back, unreliable!" Zheng Qizhi's face was wrinkled, and he suddenly stood up from the darkness, and scolded angrily: "Fugui will beat me to death, just as I raised three white-eyed wolves." ”

Liu Fugui raised the whip and whipped it down fiercely at the three of the clever tigers, and as the whip rose and fell, a child's screams suddenly sounded in the room.

Su Ziang hung on the courtyard wall and couldn't see what the iron whip was made of, he could only hear the whistling of the whip, the whip cracking the flesh, and the clever tiger and the three ghosts crying wolf, as if they could lose their breath at any time, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, but when they thought of their plan, they endured it again.

After fighting for half an hour, the three children of the Clever Tiger refused to die as if they were determined to die, except for a series of screams.

"Finally, I'll give you a chance. Zheng Qizhi stood up, stretched out a stump finger, and said with a cold face: "Hand over the Tibetan silver and let you go, otherwise the vat will be filled with mice." ”

The fathead fish immediately turned pale with earth, and said tremblingly: "Master, I ......"

"I am loyal to the master, and I have not hidden a copper plate, if I have hidden a copper plate, let the master drown me to death. The clever tiger broke off and immediately intercepted the conversation, and the fat-headed fish came to his senses and said: "I am the happy son of today's Shun, and when I come back, I will honor the master, and I didn't hide a copper." ”

"Okay, good, dare to collude. Zheng Qi shouted angrily, snatched the iron whip, "poof, poof," he whipped the three of them headlessly, and then roared viciously: "Fugui, tie up these anti-water dogs and throw them into the vat." ”

"Senior brother, admit your mistake to the master and hand over the Tibetan silver, otherwise you will die. Liu Fugui is singing on the side with a white face and being a good person.

"Wronged. ”

"Master, I really didn't hide any silver......

"Poof, poof, poof. The children were each thrown into a large water tank, struggling desperately, splashing everywhere, and after half a cup of tea, they were lifted up again.

"Did you hide the silver?"

"I really didn't hide any money, Seventh Master. ”

"Give the money. ”

"Seventh Master, I really didn't hide any silver. ”

"One last time, where is the silver hidden?"

"Seventh Master, I really didn't hide it. ”

Zheng Qiye's face was gloomy, and every time he asked, he pressed the three of them into the water and soaked them once, and the three of them were tossed to death, but they were determined to die and did not admit it.

Su Ziang suddenly secretly rejoiced that after he fled from Peach Blossom Town, he really didn't meet pickled villains like Diao Lezi or Zheng Qizhi along the way, and if he met them, he would probably be as pitiful as the three of them in his life.

"Stop, don't stop. Master Qi floated into the hall and persuaded kindly: "A group of scoundrels said a few words, and the seventh master actually believed it, this child was unjustly killed, Fugui quickly helped him to rest, and don't forget to give medicine to the whip wound." ”

"Yes. Liu Fugui responded, and hurriedly carried the children out of the hall, and the hall was quiet for a while.

"Master Qi, you said that I really wronged this child. Zheng Qizhi asked?

"I can't see it now, don't kill the three cash cows first, if you have to use your brains more, do you have long brains?" Master Qi glanced at Zheng Qizhi and said: "Ming'er let him go in the afternoon, this boy wants to really hide the silver privately, and he will definitely check if the silver is not there after he gets free." ”

"Clever, Master Qi is really the smartest. Zheng Qizhi gave a thumbs up, a series of compliments, and said, "Master Qi, you really have a brain......

"Do you really have a brain?" Master Qi couldn't cry or laugh, how could he hear Zheng Qizhi's words with bad intentions, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

When Su Ziang heard this, he knew that there was nothing new to stay in, so he floated out of the hospital, and just left the house not far away, when his spiritual sense moved, and he found that there were two people lying behind the dirt slope in front of him.

The two of them breathed heavily, it should be two of the scoundrels who were monitoring Zheng Qizhi's house, at this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, everything around was hazy, Su Ziang's childlike heart suddenly rose, and he accelerated forward.

Hua Peony led a scoundrel to lie behind the dirt slope, and saw a figure floating like a foot, just wanted to identify it carefully, but the figure disappeared, and there was no one in front of him under the moonlight.

"Ji Laosan, was there a person in front of you just now?"

"It's like a person, it's a human but it's not that fast, is it a ghost? Ji Laosan wanted to go home to sleep, knowing that Hua Peony had always been afraid of ghosts, so he said something to scare.

"The ghosts in the imperial capital are all the children of the scholar clan who pay attention to it, we both have a sour smell, and the ghosts are disgusting and disgusting, so they won't recruit us. Hua Peony was flustered.

A night breeze blew suddenly, the dead branches whined, and a hazy water curtain was suddenly erected out of thin air.

A figure jumped behind the water curtain and floated towards the two of them, as if they had landed silently on the ground.

"Mother, the ghost is here, it's still a water ghost in Luoshui. Ji Laosan exclaimed, and the girl fled, and Hua Peony was frightened and fell down with a "poof" and fainted directly.

Su Ziang put away the water curtain, stood in the night and looked at Ji Laosan, who had fled, and stretched out his foot to kick the fainting Hua Peony, and suddenly his childlike heart rose, and he sacrificed the Xue Chen Sword to the flower peony to strip off his robe and pants, and then fled into the darkness.

At noon, the three of them were scolded by Zheng Qizhi, and then they were driven out, and each task was still one or two taels of silver a day.

The three of them left Zheng Qizhi's mansion and walked a long way, and after making sure that no one was following, they suddenly became bolder.

"Fathead fish, last night you were going to ask the seventh master for Tibetan silver, let's go into Luoshui early today to feed Wang Ba. ”

"Boss, thanks to you for stopping me, it really scared the seventh master stupid at that time. ”

"Fathead, we almost killed you. The mountain monkey wanted to fly and kick the fat-headed fish, but when he lifted his feet, he put down his legs with a sigh of pain, and the fathead fish laughed and hid away.

The three of them were familiar with each other, and as soon as they got into an alley on Cross Street, a handful of white ash came to their faces, directly sealing the eyes of the three people.

Diao Lezi and a group of idlers rushed up and tightly twisted the three of them.

"Zheng Qi pointed to the truth of this old thief's skin, and I knew that staring at him would definitely find a thief. Diao Lezi was triumphant.

Su Ziang was lying in the alley, watching Diao Lezi throw out the white ash bag, fascinating the eyes of the three children for a moment, and he was stunned in his heart, this kind of white ash bag is easy to take, who paints the wall in the house, and it is easy to pack two packs, it is really the only magic weapon for Diao Lezi and a group of scoundrels to defeat the strong with the weak, if there is a conflict in the future, can not give them the opportunity to throw the white ash bag.

As soon as the three of them were kidnapped, Liu Fugui, the eldest disciple of Zheng Qizhi, quietly showed his head in the distance, and looked at the dozens of bald scoundrels who retracted their heads again.

In an alley on North Street, there is a house.

Luodu Sanshao usually does some eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in the Zhu house, Diao Lezi escorted the clever ghost and the three of them to turn a few corners, got into the Xu house, and stood against the root of the wall in a regular manner.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Xu Bairong came to the courtyard step by step, his whole body was fragrant, he looked at the three children carefully, and suddenly pointed to the mountain monkey and shouted: "It's him, it was this dirty monkey who touched the silver bag of my son yesterday, and give it back to me." ”

"Wronged, what a silver bag, for this silver bag, the master beat me all night. The mountain monkey pointed to the wounds on his body and shouted, "Childe, look at these wounds, I really haven't seen any silver bags." ”

The clever tiger and Lang Lifei rolled up their clothes, revealing the bruises on their bodies that were blue and black, and casually agreed.

"Oh, oh, your master is still human? Xu Bairong was extremely sympathetic, and immediately did not ask about the whereabouts of the silver bag, cocked his orchid finger, frowned and examined the wounds on the three people.

"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi. Diao Lezi hurriedly stepped forward to stop and persuade. "These boys are all thieves, and their words are all lies, don't be fooled. ”

"Is that so?" Xu Bairong tilted his head and thought about it, Orchid waved his finger and ordered: "Escort him to the backyard prison to take care of it, these barbarian jobs, wait for Tian Wangwang to interrogate." ”

"Xu Gongzi, this kid is a thief and slippery, I will help escort him to the backyard, don't let him slip away. Diao Lezi hurriedly flattered.

"Go ahead. Xu Bairong raised his hand, and a large piece of broken silver was thrown over, and shouted: "If you run errands for my son, reward you for the wine, and you will benefit from it in the future." ”
