Chapter 610: Mules and Horses

If this servant goes farther, Ximen Hitomi will definitely find an opportunity to knock him unconscious or kill him, change into his clothes and infiltrate Qijiazhuang, although he may not be able to succeed, at least he can try. However, the mule and horse shop that this person entered was on the opposite side of the gate of Qijiazhuang, only twenty or thirty steps away, and if he shot and killed him, he would immediately be seen by the guards of Qijiazhuang, and this method would not be feasible at all.

I saw the man enter the gate of the mule and horse shop, and in a short time he came out, and then crossed the street, and entered Qijiazhuang through the black lacquered gate.

Ximen Hitomi groaned slightly, and also walked out of the corner of the street, pretending to be a walk along the street, and walked slowly to the door of the "Da Ji Mule and Horse Walk" and paced in.

The shop of this mule and horse shop is not very large, there are only a few benches with a wooden counter in the room, and a man in his thirties sits behind the counter, looking like the shopkeeper of this mule and horse shop. Behind the counter is a portal to the backyard, where you can see a few horses and two large carts parked in the yard.

Wearing an old felt hat and coarse cloth clothes, Simon looked like a poor man, not at all as if he had money to hire chariots and horses. The shopkeeper only glanced at him, and then said angrily: "What are you doing here, this kid? We don't have a good business here, so we won't hire people......

Before the shopkeeper finished his sentence, he saw the poor man raise his palm, but he threw a palm-sized piece of paper on the counter. The shopkeeper looked at it and saw that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels!

"What did that man do when he came in just now, tell me honestly, this silver ticket is yours!" Ximen Hitomi said in a deep voice.

Fifty taels of silver is a lot of money, and the mule and horse dealer can't make money by doing business all day, and you can get it by asking for a message, which is very cheap.

The shopkeeper picked up the silver ticket to take a closer look, and recognized that it was really the silver ticket of the "Hongxiang Qianzhuang" that could be exchanged in all realms of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately stuffed it directly into his pocket, and said with a smile: "This master is invited, the person who came in just now said that he came from Qijiazhuang across the street, and he wanted to hire a carriage for the trumpet." ”

Ximen Hitomi said: "What kind of car do you hire?" can you tell who is riding and where are you going?"

The shopkeeper replied: "He only said that he wanted to hire the most haode carriage in the bank, probably the lady and lady in the village were going to sit, but he didn't say where he was going, but he only hired it for one day, and he couldn't get out of the boundary of Huaiqing Mansion if he wanted to." ”

Although the shopkeeper didn't know anything, his guess was very reasonable. The people in Qijiazhuang are all martial artists, if a man travels, he should be able to ride a horse, not only to hire a car, but also to the most haode carriage, most of which are indeed female dependents. And it only takes one day, and of course you can't go far.

Ximen Hitomi asked again, "When does he want a car?"

The shopkeeper said: "The man said that he would immediately let the carriage go to the front of the village to wait for use, and this not villain has already called the coachman to the back to prepare the carriage." ”

Ximen Tong nodded, the thoughts in his heart raced, and said, "Do you know what the old man Qi in the Qi family village on the other side does for a living?"

The shopkeeper said: "Of course this villain knows that the big man of Qikong Mountain is the leader of the 'Iron Elephant Gang', a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes, who in Huaiqing City will not know." ”

Ximen Tong said: "That old man Qi has a young lady named Qi Ruyi, do you often see it?"

The shopkeeper said: "Miss Qi doesn't go out often, and although the villain's mule and horse shop is on the opposite side of Qijiazhuang, she has only seen it so many times." ”

Ximen Hitomi smiled slightly, and reached out to remove the felt hat on his head. The felt hat originally covered most of his face, making Ximen look no different from an ordinary poor man, but once he took it off, he immediately revealed a handsome face. The shopkeeper of the mule and horse shop did not expect him to be so handsome, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

Ximen Tong said: "It's not a secret, my surname is Ximen, a single name and a pupil character, and he is also a character on the rivers and lakes, but he also has a slight name, and this 'Iron Elephant Gang' can be regarded as a good match." This time I came to Huaiqing, I was originally asking for a kiss from the old man Qi, but I only heard that the eldest lady of the Qi family said that she was both talented and beautiful, but I had never seen it, and I came in disguise and wanted to take a look. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the counter, and suddenly with a slight pull, he had pulled off a corner of the table, and when he pinched it with his fingers, the corner of the table had become sawdust fluttering and falling from his palm.

Although the exterior of the counter is rough, it is made of hardwood, and the shopkeeper saw that Ximen Hitomi pulled off a piece and pinched it to pieces, which was easier than pinching tofu, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Evil Dog Five Little" is actually not weak in the rivers and lakes, but the shopkeeper of this mule and horse shop is not a person in the rivers and lakes, he has never heard the name of Ximen Pupil, but he saw that this young man was born handsome, showing an extraordinary person, and showed such a handful of kung fu, he already believed in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "It turns out that you are the son of Ximen, the villain really has eyes and does not know Mount Tai! To say that the eldest lady of the Qi family is indeed beautiful, and the son can be regarded as a natural pair." ”

Ximen Hitomi said: "Everyone says this, and I don't know if it's true or not." Now that Qijiazhuang has hired a carriage, most of them are going to take Miss Qi out, the shopkeeper, my son will discuss one thing with you, if you agree, this silver ticket will also be yours!"

A palm-sized silver ticket fell on the counter again, and the shopkeeper looked at it, his eyes were already a little straight, it was actually a silver ticket of five hundred taels!

He hurriedly snatched the silver ticket into his hand and said, "It's easy to say! But if the son has orders, the villain will do everything, and there will be absolutely no problem!"

After half a cup of tea, a two-horse carriage drove out of the courtyard of the mule and horse shop and stopped at the door of Qijiazhuang, and it was Ximen Pupil who was sitting in the position of the car. He put on the felt hat again, and covered most of his face, and was dressed in coarse cloth, and had an extra horsewhip in his hand, and he had no flaws in his appearance as a coachman.

Five hundred taels of silver was more than enough to buy this carriage, and a small mule and horse shop could not make so much money in three months. It was when Ximen Hitomi proposed to pretend to be the coachman of Da Ji's mule and horse shop, so as to see if the eldest lady of the Qi family was really embarrassed to close the moon, so as not to mention the family affair and have no regrets, the shopkeeper immediately agreed.

If you know that Ximen Tong is going to be unfavorable to the "Iron Elephant Gang", even if you give more money, the shopkeeper of the mule and horse shop will not dare to agree. But Ximen Hitomi only said that he came to ask for marriage, and when the shopkeeper thought about it, his move not only contributed to a beautiful marriage, but also earned a lot of silver, why not do this kind of good thing?

Reality is always much harsher than ideals.

The legendary genius Tang Bohu disguised himself as a servant and infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, just to win the heart of the beauty Qiu Xiang, and now Ximen Hitomi pretended to be a coachman to come to the Qi family's house, although the target was also Miss Qi's family, but it was to kidnap her, and what he was thinking about was whether Qi Ruyi's life was enough to negotiate with the "Fuguimen" in exchange for the antidote.

And the reality is often unexpected.

Ximen Hitomi didn't wait too long in the car, and the black lacquered gate of Qijiazhuang opened, and a woman and two Zhuang Ding walked out of the door.

Just two days ago, Ximen Tong had a meeting with Qi Ru in the back garden of Qijiazhuang, and he knew the eldest lady of the Qi family, but to his surprise, although the woman who came to ride the car was also the person he had seen in the garden two days ago, it was not Qi Ruyi, but the ugly-looking servant Aunt Ping.

The two Zhuang Ding each rode on the mounts tied to the door, but Na Pinggu walked to the carriage in a curling manner, glanced at Ximen Hitomi, and asked, "Are you the coachman of the Da Ji Mule and Horse Company?"

Ximen Hitomi hurriedly jumped out of the car and responded, "Yes." ”

He deliberately lowered his throat to make his voice hoarse.

Pinggu said: "You came quite quickly, can you know the path to Gantang Garden?"

Ximen Tong was not familiar with Huaiqing City, and he didn't know the path to Gantang Garden, but if he didn't know it, he was afraid that if Gantang Garden was a famous place, the unknown path of the city's coachman would make people suspicious, so he had to vaguely "hmm" at the moment.

Fortunately, this Pinggu didn't seem to have any doubts, and said: "Gantang Garden is fifteen miles outside the South City Gate, it doesn't matter if you don't know the path, just follow the Zhuang Ding in front." ”

Simon Hitomi replied, "Yes." ”

Pinggu nodded and said, "Okay, then let me get into the car." ”

The base of the carriage was two feet above the ground, and when the old lady of a large family got on and off the carriage, the servants had to kneel in front of the carriage and let them step on them as a cushion. This is a common thing for ordinary coachmen, but Ximen Hitomi was born as a rich son, so how could he have done such a thing?

However, since he had pretended to be a coachman, he knew that he could not be exposed at this moment, so he had to bow down and kneel, let Na Pinggu lift his feet and step on his back, and boarded the carriage.

Although Ximen Hitomi is not used to pretending to be a subordinate, there is no problem with catching a car. At that moment he got on the wheel, whipped his horse, and drove the carriage after the mounts of the two Zhuang Ding, and drove along the street of Huaiqing City.

It was Pinggu instead of Qi Ruyi who rode the car, although it was somewhat unexpected, but it was not a bad thing.

Although Qi Ruyi is the pearl of Qi Kongshan, the "Iron Elephant Gang" has now been controlled by the "Rich Alliance", even if the Miss Qi family is used as a threat, it may not make Zuo Junhua have any scruples, and the other party may not be willing to hand over the antidote. Although this Pinggu's martial arts are not strong, her status in the "Rich Alliance" does not seem to be low, and using her life in exchange for the antidote will be more certain than Qi Ruyi.

Simon Hitomi's mind turned, and he had decided to kidnap this ugly woman, and since he knew that she was going out of the city, he was ready to go outside the city to act again. This is because there are now manpower patrols of the "Rich Alliance" everywhere in the city, and once the other party calls for help when arresting someone, it will attract a large number of helpers, and it will be much more convenient to go outside the city.

He drove the carriage, followed the horses of the two Zhuang Ding, turned southbound at the crossroads, and crossed a few more streets, and soon saw the south gate of Huaiqing City.
