When I left the bathhouse, the sky was already gray, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

Only a piece of silver the size of the thumb is left, the restaurant is unbearable, Xiao Fangzi bought steamed buns and marinated vegetables on the street, ready to take them back to the inn for a meal. I didn't want Xue Wanli to be unhappy again, and he was clamoring to eat meat and drink wine, but when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he and Xiao Fangzi grinded hard and stayed where they were. Finally, the two of them bought beef and roast chicken, sold two dimes of wine, and spent all the money and nothing, so they stopped.

Back at the inn, the two sat on the ground and munched on it. Xue Wanli drank the wine in two or three sips, smacked his lips, and was still unsatisfied. Xiao Fangzi took the chicken leg and gnawed on it, and couldn't help complaining: "Old Xue, you are too good at passing the day, the silver has been spent, what should you do tomorrow?" Xue Wanli smiled and said: "What do you know! This is called being born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! Hey, Xue has his own plans!"

Xiao Fangzi smiled: "Don't brag, let's talk about it, where do you want to cheat money?" Xue Wanli said: "Xue is a hero, how can he be old enough to do that kind of cheating! Hey, just grab it!" After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at Xiao Fangzi, his expression turned mysterious again, and he said in a low voice: "You don't know, just now I was obviously going to buy something, but in fact, I went to spy on the military situation!" Xiao Fangzi's eyes widened: "What? to spy on the military situation? Are you going to fight with the Hu people?" Xue Wanli laughed: " Hu Ren is 108,000 miles away, and Lao Xue can't reach it even if he wants to, haha!" Xiao Fangzi took a sip and said stupidly: "Pretend to be a ghost and fool people!"

"Our silver is not for nothing, everything in this city is several times more expensive than other places, why do you say?" Xiao Fangzi thought for a moment and shook his head. Xue Wanli said triumphantly: "I was also curious, I inquired about two sentences when I was repairing my face, I didn't want to ask this question, hey! There is a big stir in the room, the meaning of this rice rut, Xiao Fangzi probably figured it out: "What? Tell me!" Xue Wanli nodded and said with a smile: "This rice rut happens to be surnamed Fan, called Fan Yuanwai, one of the richest people in Qingzhou City." This Fan has a lot of money, but he is stupid, and he can only count and spend a lot of silver, which is really not like words!

Xiao Fangzi nodded again and again, and said happily: "Great, great, this favor must be helped!"

"This rich man is a grain businessman, not to mention bullying and dominating the market, but also taking advantage of the natural disasters in recent years to continue to have a bad harvest, blindly hoarding grain, and driving up the price of grain! The people regard food as the sky, and when the price of grain rises, everything is expensive, so that the poor people cannot eat enough and cannot be warmly clothed!" Xiao Fangzi nodded heavily and shouted: "This person is not a good person! Old Xue, you will rectify him fiercely tomorrow!" Xue Wanli smiled and said: "There is a Fang hero here, and the small little trick will not be taken out to be embarrassing! ”

Xiao Fangzi was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and took a bite again, grabbed the sauce beef and ate it, and ignored him. Although Fang Daxia has always dared to be heroic, brave and tenacious, and today he defeated this "blood trail" in the bathhouse, but he also knows the importance of his own family. Of course, Xiao Fangzi still has a little self-knowledge, how can he not know that Lao Xue is looking for him to be happy at this time? This person is scheming, isn't it a long lesson to have the silver stolen? This "Fang Daxia" is definitely not a good thing when the three words come out, so don't pay attention to it.

"Yes, Fang Daxia is disdainful of making a move, uh, that's-" Seeing that he didn't get in the trap, Xue Wanli pretended to ponder for a moment: "Ming'er Fang Daxia just has to be a hero in front of him, and the villain follows behind as a thug to beat the villain, how?" Fang Daxia swallowed a mouthful of beef, and sighed: "Old Xue, you are really sick in the brain! This is not singing, what are you doing with all these tricks?" Xue Wan looked bitter and said pitifully: " Xiao Fangzi, you don't know, I'm not afraid of fighting, I'm just clumsy, and I really don't want to talk to people!" Xiao Fangzi smiled and said: "Don't come to this set, you are yelling at you in the Yamen Court, and you are so angry! Now you must want to use Lao Tzu as a gun, but you can't!"

While eating, Xue Wanli even persuaded and bluffed, but he didn't do anything, and Xiao Fangzi just didn't take the hook. Xue Wanli had nothing to do, he was angry and didn't eat, lying on the bed screaming and having a headache, humming and chirping. Seeing that this guy was so big and no little scoundrel, Xiao Fangzi was helpless and shook his head. After a few more bites, Xiao Fangzi wiped his hands and stood up, walked to his bed and prepared to sleep: "Sleep when you are full, the fairy said, hahe-"

A mink coat is folded flat at the head of the bed, this thing is a small treasure, and before eating, I am afraid of getting oily, so I take it off early and put it away. On the side, Xue Wanli was on all fours, touching his forehead and humming to himself: "No conscience, no conscience!" glanced at the coat and glanced at him, Xiao Fangzi finally softened in his heart, and exhaled a long breath: "Cheng Chengcheng, don't pretend to be dead!

Xue Wanli jumped up and said happily: "Really?"

Xiao Fangzi nodded and sighed, "Seriously." ”

A few cold winds blew outside the window, a little candlelight on the table swayed slightly, and two figures, one large and one small, whispered in the dimness, and a sinister smile appeared from time to time. When such a situation occurs, everyone knows that nothing good will happen. Those who know the inside story know that one of these two people is a bloody bandit, and the other is a thief who robs and hurts people, both of whom have their names in the yamen, so late at night planning but not knowing who will suffer again!

The west of the city is full of shops, wine shops, inns, and tea houses, and the flow of people is surging and noisy and extraordinary; in the south and north of the city, there are ordinary people living in the north of the city, although the poor rooms are coarsely clothed, they also have joy in their own suffering, they meet acquaintances on the road and greet them loudly, the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law are short in the house, and the children are constantly playing and laughing, and it is very lively. It is unique in the east of the city, with wide roads and deep alleys, and a high-walled compound, but there is no personal shadow to be seen, and the whole day is lifeless. In the east of the city, there are only a few dozen families, and they are either rich or noble, and they are prominent figures. The doors of ordinary households are closed and do not interact with each other, the common people do not come here, and the idlers just look at each other, who knows the old lady inside, what is the way to pass the lady?

Isn't it boring to be so lonely?

When the time came, the hooves of Bluestone Lane sounded, and two tall horses came in. On horseback rode a brocade-robed man and a young man in a gorgeous costume, and the two of them believed in the reins of the horse, and slowly walked straight to the end of the alley. After walking for a while, when he arrived at the door of a house, the big man grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted. The young man was thirteen or fourteen years old, sitting on horseback and asked, "This family?" The big man nodded, and the young man grabbed the reins and looked at it.

This mansion occupies a very wide area, with the main entrance in the center, the bluestone as the wall, the left and right sides extend more than 20 zhang, and the green wall is faintly tiled. On both sides of the door steps stood two white marble lions, high and high, with angry eyes and beads stepping on the ball, and their demeanor was fierce and domineering. The two black lacquer gates on the stone steps are closed, and the gatehouse above is towering, and the eaves are overhanged, and the horizontal frieze is carved gold. The young man looked at the big golden characters on the lintel and asked, "Old Xue, what is written on it?" The big man frowned and reprimanded: "I don't understand bullshit, and I don't know a single big character!"

The young man stuck out his tongue, touched the body of the stone lion, stepped on the bottom again, and slammed the lion's mouth with one hand. The stone lion contains a round small stone ball in its mouth, which is exquisite, and the sound of the ball is sought, and it means that there is a response. It's just okay to ask for things, but if you can't ask for a ball, this stone lion is reluctant to give it. After a few picks, the ball rolled around on both sides, and it was blocked by the stone teeth. Seeing that the ball was unbearable, the boy had to give up and jump down and walk towards the gate.

There were two brass knockers hanging on the black door, and the young man stepped forward and reached out to grab them, wanting to knock on the ring and call the door. Seeing that he couldn't, the young man let go of his hand and walked back, and said angrily: "Second master, go on!" The big man strode to the door and stood still.

Kick it off!

There was a loud "click", and the two thick door panels flew out flat.

The young man frowned and shouted: "Second master, why are you so reckless!" The big man scratched his head and said with a smile: "The owner of the village is angry, hey, I can't change my temper all the time!" A group of servants in Tsing Yi rushed over in a panic, and they couldn't help but be shocked and angry when they saw this! How strong this gate is, and the façade is heavy and thick, not to mention, this iron door latch alone is as thick as a human arm, and it takes a lot of effort to break it even if everyone hits it with a log! Now that it is scattered with one blow, how can it not teach people to be dumbfounded?

"Where did the madman come from, dare to come to Fan's Mansion to make trouble, don't you want to live!" With the leader, all the servants breathed a sigh of relief and shouted and scolded loudly. The young man didn't pay attention, his expression was proud, he walked towards the courtyard with his chest straight, and the big man didn't say a word, and followed him. The servants were even more angry, shouting and scolding again and again, but they couldn't figure out the number of these uninvited guests. Of course, if it weren't for the luxurious clothes of the two of them, and the fierce momentum of hitting the flying door panel, they would have rushed to protect the family and the nursing home!

All the way forward, all around was full of foul language, intimidation, shouting and beating, the young man frowned, and said unhappily: "Second master, lion roar!" said his face tightened, and his hands were raised to cover his ears tightly. Hearing this, the big man said respectfully: "Order!" After speaking, he fixed his body, took a deep breath, and then leaned over and raised his head, his eyes were round, and he slowly turned his head to look around, and roared wildly: "Ah-" The servants were stunned when they saw this, and said in their hearts, could this person be mad? Look at him pretending to be vicious, opening his teeth and dancing his claws, dressed in brocade clothes with a circle of thick beard, and roaring like a lion and leopard! Before he could make a sound, the big man roared loudly in his throat: "Oh woo-"

Suddenly, a low sound surged in, like a giant bell ringing, and everyone seemed to be caught in a stormy sea, only to feel a dull pain in their ears, and the sky was spinning in their heads! The young man turned his head to look, put down his hands and said with satisfaction: "Second master, well done!"

The boy nodded, walked back on, walked to the center of the house, and stopped looking around.

The courtyard is paved with bluestone and is very spacious. A large flower garden on the left, in the early winter season, more than a dozen different trees and branches circl and curve; several strange flowers bloom beautifully without fear of severe cold, lined with clusters of green leaves, and the end is pleasing to the eye; at the right end, there is a pond and a pavilion, the water is murmuring on the rockery in the pool, and the beads and splash jade fall into the pool, the white stone tables and chairs are placed in the small pavilion, standing near the water, it is exquisite and elegant; the pavilions are deep in all directions, and the corridor is the road, and there is a graceful and rich atmosphere.

"Second master, you are right, this rich man Fan is really a fat sheep!" the young man turned his head and said happily. The big man smiled and pointed: "Then you don't need to say! Look, the fat sheep is coming!" The young man looked back and saw two people running in the hall, one tall and fat and one short and thin: "Yes, which one?" The big man smiled and said: "Then you need to say, you can see it at a glance!" A moment ago, a tall and fat person with a red face was shining, grabbed a halberd and pointed angrily: "Ah! Who are you waiting for? Dare to come to Fan's Mansion to make trouble!" The young man saw that he had a shiny face, a round head and a square head, and he was just a big fat sheep!

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a whisper behind him: "It's not this." ”;
