Three days later, Cheng Xianhu dismissed a group of minions according to the agreement, and left Hugezhai with Yu Hongjiao and others.

Yu Biao was lucky to save his life, but he was abolished and cultivated, and since then he can only live an ordinary life, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

The next person to leave was Tang Hesheng, who came alone, walked alone, waved his sleeves and did not take away half of the clouds.

Bu Zhuanzi also left, and he took a month off from Diao Xiaosi, saying that he wanted to return to the Twelve Docks to explain the things in the village.

Diao Xiaosi was extremely sympathetic to this newly recruited disciple, and deliberately asked, "Is one month enough?" Or I will give you two more months, and it will save you the fatigue on the road." In his heart, he hoped that this new apprentice would be able to go away and go straight to become his second king.

How do you know that the operator politely declined the kindness of the master, and said that he would rush to Jiangzhou to report as soon as possible.

Diao Xiaosi was disappointed, so he focused his interest on the gold, silver and jewelry that Cheng Xianhu and others had looted.

Hugezhai has been standing in Daba Mountain for many years, and the income from burning, killing and looting is not abundant, and the inventory alone is enough to count 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver.

Diao Xiaosi felt that this time he broke the Hundred Tigers and Thousand Battles, how could he be regarded as the first hero, and now he should be able to sit on the ground and share the spoils into the account.

He has followed the dead old man to dig graves and rob graves all these years, but he has never thought about what money is, only knowing that Lu Dao is very happy and relieved when he has silver in his hand;

However, the strange thing is that the dead old man has so much dead money, and he still picks at the door very much, and walks from Chang'an to Lin'an with a penny in his buttocks, and when he comes back, he must still be there, not to mention where the gold and silver go? Embezzlement is certain, but wouldn't it be a fool not to spend the money? Could it be that he still wants to bring it into the coffin after he dies? If this is the case, Diao Xiaosi planned that he would wear the stars and the moon to pay tribute to the dead old man at that time.

It's a pity that things in the world are not satisfactory seven or eight times out of ten, not to mention that the hidden treasure of the dead old man has become a mirror with his disappearance, and even the ill-gotten gains in the Huge Village that can be seen and touched every day have even been moved by people's ideas.

On this day, Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie came to find Diao Xiaosi. Chu Lie opened his mouth and said: "Little Fourth Brother, there are tens of thousands of taels of stolen silver to be disposed of in Huge Village now, a few of our old guys have discussed it and come up with a method, and I also want to ask you what you mean." ”

Diao Xiaosi's spirits were greatly lifted, and he almost wanted to go straight to ask how much he could give himself, and finally got along with Geng Nanyi and others recently, knowing that these people are fighting for righteousness and squandering money, and they are all elm pimples who feel about the lack of money, if they seem too hot, they are afraid that they will look down on them, so he said with a smile: "The younger brother is arranged by the two elder brothers, anyway, money is something outside the body, and you can't hurt your brother's righteousness because of it." ”

Chu Lie praised: "How old Geng, I said that the little four brothers are chivalrous and courageous, and they treat money like dung. ”

Geng Nanyi smiled and said: "We want to donate all the rest to the Pure Yang Temple, except for a part of the compensation for the dead and wounded. It was presided over by Ye Xianchang himself to help the victims on both sides of the Yellow River. ”

"Donate it all?" Diao Xiaosi never dreamed that there was such a person in the world, tired and tired, bleeding and sweating, and finally pulled out his teeth to get some silver, and he actually didn't take a penny, and gave it all to someone who couldn't beat with eight poles.

Such a high wind and bright festival, this is not spirit, but nerves!

Diao Xiaosi felt that his heart was bleeding, as if what he wanted to donate was not silver, but the flesh cut from him.

I listened to Geng Nanyi's explanation: "Since the current Shengshang ascended the throne, he has repeatedly conquered Goryeo externally, and has driven hundreds of thousands of people to dig canals internally, making the people miserable and mournful. Nowadays, the major state capitals on both sides of the Yellow River are starving and plague is rampant, and how many people sell their sons and daughters just for a full meal, and the scene is unbearable. Let's donate these tens of thousands of taels of silver, which can be regarded as a small contribution to the common people in the world. ”

Diao Xiaosi heard this, and said in his heart: "There are many hungry ghosts in the world, let alone thirty or fifty thousand, even three or five million taels of silver can't be helped." What's more, this is a hole dug by the emperor Lao'er, why should he use Lao Tzu's money to fill it for him?"

But in the face of Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie, who looked solemn, his mouth opened a few times, but he still couldn't say a word.

Chu Lie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Fourth Brother, what do you think?"

"What else can Lao Tzu think?" Diao Xiaosi gritted his teeth in his heart and said bitterly, you must know that Lu Dao is not a piece of paper, but a white flower shining silver, even if the old hen turns into a duck in the blink of an eye, but now the eyes have not blinked, the chicken is gone, the duck is gone, the silver is all gone, but how can it be embarrassing to teach people?

But Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie said that they were here to discuss, but the plane made it clear that it would not work, it was even darker than Mr. Lan Da, the chief scoop of the twelve serial docks.

He thought to himself: "No, others want to donate money and want to jump into the river, but Lao Tzu can't manage it and doesn't want to take care of it." But my share is not given to the thief. ”

His mind was spinning and he asked, "Old Man Geng, if it is something from the Lord, shall we donate it?"

Geng Nanyi didn't care about him, and replied: "If there is a master's thing, it will return to the original owner, otherwise won't it become a robber?"

Diao Xiaosi immediately had an idea and said, "Okay, just do it according to what you discussed." I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I won't leave the two brothers. ”

Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie were very happy when they saw that Diao Xiaosi had agreed easily, and after a few more greetings, they went to discuss with Ye Fashan and the others.

Everyone was talking about how to transport these tens of thousands of silver taels to Chang'an safely and soundly, and exchange them for medicinal materials and food, when a dart master who knew how to pass the dart bureau walked in with a strange face and reported: "Mr. Geng, you'd better go to the treasury to take a look." ”

Geng Nanyi was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"

The dart master said: "I don't know what to say, in short, Diao Siye came to the treasury just now and took away the account books, and closed the door of the treasury to prevent anyone from entering, saying that he wanted to personally count the silver taels in the treasury." ”

Long Zaitian frowned and said, "What the hell is this Diao brother doing?"

Qiu Junyi smiled: "Everyone on the left and right is tired of sitting, so let's just go and see how it is." ”

At that moment, everyone left the Juyi Hall and went straight to the treasury of the back village. When I came to the warehouse, I saw that the iron door was closed, and a bunch of confused-faced dart masters were whispering outside.

Chu Lie pushed open the heavy door and shouted, "Little Fourth Brother, what are you doing inside?"

Diao Xiaosi's response came from the warehouse: "I'm busy, I'll be fine right away!"

Chu Lie raised his eyes and looked around, and was stunned for a moment, and saw that on the wooden boxes containing gold and silver ingots in the warehouse, on the antique jade, there were valuable furniture, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and even silk and satin, and there were seals with ink that had not dried everywhere.

On the seal, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the word "Diao Ji" was written!

Look at Diao Xiaosi barefoot, jumping on a mahogany table of eight immortals, with his eyes wide open, and writing hard.

Qiu Junyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "Little fourth brother, what are you doing?"

"Smack!" Diao Xiaosi pressed the last seal on the screen with batter, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Done!" Dropped the brush and jumped off the Eight Immortals Table and said with a smile: "As long as it is an ownerless thing without a seal, you can take it." ”

Geng Nanyi was dumbfounded, and said: "But all the ill-gotten wealth in this treasury is the money that everyone has discussed to donate to the Pure Yang Temple to help the victims. ”

Diao Xiaosi said confidently: "It's hard to guarantee that if it falls into the hands of the thief, the donation will become chicken legs and duck legs, so it's better for me to keep it myself." ”

Long Zaitian snorted and said, "Brother Xiao Diao, is it a chivalrous act of you to make such unreasonable trouble?"

Diao Xiaosi suddenly looked at Long Zaitian in awe, and said: "I have heard that the old owner of Long Zhuang is selfless, righteous and awe-inspiring, and his love is boundless. Seeing that thousands of victims on both sides of the Yellow River are waiting to be fed, the owner of Longlao Zhuang must be unbearable, so why not be merciful and donate Wolong Villa, not to mention that it can be exchanged for 180,000 yuan. ”

Long Zaitian raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Ye Fashan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Little fourth brother, why don't I say a few words?"

"Stop!" Diao Xiaosi broke off drinking, and there was a lot of momentum when he was closed, and said: "The Taoist priest doesn't move his mouth, and he has something to say." ”

"All this money is earned by the little fourth brother, you are fighting for missing arms and legs, how you like to spend it, it is not a matter of poverty. Ye Fashan smiled and said: "It's just that in the past, you were poor and white, and you were embarrassed to mention it." Now that my family is rich, should I pay back the two Taoist temples I owe?"

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said: "Old thief, you want to blackmail me, there is no door!"

Ye Fashan said: "Little fourth brother, do you know that there is a saying called killing people to pay off debts and pay off debts?"

Diao Xiaosi made up his mind that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said hesitantly: "So what?"

Ye Fashan said: "I guess the old demon Yingyang hopes that someone will tell him who killed Yin Shengyang." ”

Diao Xiaosi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and shouted: "Old thief, you dare to hack me?"

Ye Fashan slowly raised a finger and said, "I'll give you a fold, just a Taoist temple?"

Diao Xiaosi looked at death as if he were at home and said, "Dreaming!"

Ye Fashan was not in a hurry, and said: "The interest is all exempt?"

"Deal!" Diao Xiaosi knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, signed an alliance under the city that lost power and humiliated the country, and tore off one seal after another with his heart like a knife.

Ye Fashan looked at the seals that fell to the ground leisurely, and said, "Well, this is the Sanqing Palace, this is the apse, and the box of silver ingots is barely enough to build a bell and drum tower...... There is also a scripture pavilion, followed by a room, a fine house and two side halls, don't forget to start from outside the gate, and build a pavilion every two hundred metersβ€”β€”"

At the end, Diao Xiaosi stood in front of the last box of gold bars, eager to stuff the Sanqing Palace, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and so on into the throat of this underworld Taoist, and asked through gritted teeth: "Now even the shorts and forks worn by the resident Taoist priest are - thief old Taoist, what else can you come up with?"

Ye Fashan thought for a while, and then replied very naturally: "And the salary I will pay for you." ”
