(PS: There is only one chapter for today's festival, I wish all my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival.)
"What? You don't want to go to Dongchang and Zhenfusi to report the letter?" After the monitoring of Chen Wenfan and his party, Xiong Hu immediately proposed to report to Dongchang or Zhenfusi Yamen immediately, mobilizing the masters of Jinyiwei to make this group of slaves work carefully They caught everything in one go, but Young Master Zhang, who started to come up with this idea, objected, saying that he would wait for a while.As a result, Xiong Hu couldn't understand, and asked very angrily: "What do you want to do? These people are not only secret slaves, but also murderers who assassinated you, and the real murderers who framed my father behind the scenes. Don't you think Let them go?"

"Keep your voice down, and be careful not to let the neighbors hear you." First Young Master Zhang pointed to the next room, and then whispered, "Don't worry, I'll ask you a few questions first——If you are the slave worker next door, then What method will you use to get the officials of the court to overthrow Lord Sun Chengzong and Sun Chengzong? And what method will you use to make the officials of the court suggest that the emperor kill your father?"

"Needless to say, of course it's your specialty - buying corrupt officials in the court with money." Xiong Hu gave Young Master Zhang a white look, very dissatisfied with Young Master Zhang's mental retardation.Young Master Zhang nodded, and asked with a sinister smile: "Then if they want to do these two things, how much money will they have to spend?"

"How could I know this? Anyway, there must be a lot." Xiong Hu gave Young Master Zhang another look, and replied angrily.Young Master Zhang smiled even more, "Okay, the last question, if you are a slave worker, where would you put the money that is going to be used to corrupt officials?"

"Such a large sum of money is not safe even if it is placed in the bank bank, and it will arouse suspicion, so it will only be kept by yourself." Xiong Hu replied in a deep voice.Speaking of this, Xiong Hu finally came to his senses, quickly pointed to the next door, and whispered: "You mean, the money Jian Nu used to frame my father and Sun Dushuai is placed next door?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and it was packed in a big wooden box." Young Master Zhang recalled, "The box was a brand new black lacquered box with two copper buckles on it, very common in the market, very unusual. It is eye-catching. But I noticed at the time that Chen Wenfan's four attendants were very difficult to lift, so it can be seen that there are definitely a lot of good things inside." Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang added with a wicked smile: "Tell me, if How great would it be if we got this box? If we report to Zhenfusi and Dongchang right now, the slave workers next door will be wiped out, but the things in the box will have to be cheap. The factory and the town Fusi."

"Why didn't I realize that you are so greedy for money before? You even want to be greedy for the money of Jiannu's meticulous work?" Xiong Hu asked, looking at Young Master Zhang.When Young Master Zhang heard that his nose was almost out of breath, he roared in a low voice, "Hey, why don't you know what's good and bad, little girl? Am I that greedy for money? You know that I've already spent money for your father's business." How much silver? More than 1 taels! Now I only have 9000 taels of silver left, if I don’t want to find a way to get the money from Jiannu Xizuo, what else can I use to save your father from now on?”

Xiong Hu is not a person who doesn't understand reason, after being taught by Young Master Zhang, she soon felt a little embarrassed, and apologized coyly: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you again, just do as you said, first I’m not going to report to Dongchang and the Zhen Fusi.” Speaking of this, Xiong Hu turned his head to think about it, and then asked: “But how can you get the money from Jiannu’s meticulous work? Everyone has martial arts, and I can't beat them all by myself."

"Don't worry, let me think about it, there will definitely be a solution." Young Master Zhang rested his chin with one fist, with a serious expression that rivaled that famous statue of Rodin.But soon, Young Master Zhang showed his true colors, pointed to the only bed in this room, and said with a smile, "Huhu, it's getting late, there is only one bed here, we will squeeze in for a night, and we will discuss it while resting." How about it?" But before Young Master Zhang's obscenities were finished, Xiong Hu blushed and raised his fist, posing as a beating stance, which made Young Master Zhang shrink back in fright, and quickly changed his words: "Since you don't want to It’s fine if you squeeze, then I’ll fall asleep on the ground like a rock, and you will sleep on the bed.”

"The illness on your body is just right. You sleep on the bed, and I will sit and rest. By the way, I will listen to what Jiannu Xizuo is talking about." Xiong Hu's face turned redder, and she gave Young Master Zhang a vicious look, threatening: "At night You just sleep on the bed honestly, if you dare to get up and mess around, I will break your bones!" Young Master Zhang made an exaggerated expression of fear, and he never even dared to say it.Xiong Hu snorted and turned her face away. Suddenly, Xiong Hu remembered something, and hurriedly asked Young Master Zhang: "Master Gou, what do you think this Chen Wenfan is doing? Why doesn't he rent a house with so much money? Why did he come to live in this inn? And he lives alone in the room, and all his followers sleep in the bunk, what is the reason for this?"

"It's not surprising. This just proves that Chen Wenfan is a treacherous old man." Young Master Zhang explained: "The capital is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most benevolent area under the foot of the emperor, and it is also the place where Dongchang and Jinyiwei watch the most closely. If Chen Wenfan and the others are in the capital If you live in a rented house, you will definitely be interrogated by Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If you investigate their purpose of coming to the capital, you may reveal your flaws. Therefore, it is not as safe as an inn where guests come and go. As for Chen Wenfan, it is easier to live in the upper room and sleep with his followers. , have you ever seen a guest who rented a room for his followers when he was staying at the inn? If Chen Wenfan doesn’t do anything about it, not to mention Dongchang Tiqi and Jinyiwei secret agents, even the innkeeper’s buddies will be suspicious first.”

"Oh, so that's the truth." Xiong Hu suddenly realized, and then laughed softly: "But it's also good, it's convenient for us to eavesdrop."

Hearing Xiong Hu's words, Young Master Zhang thought about it, and murmured repeatedly: "But it's okay, it's convenient for us to eavesdrop? But it's also good, it's convenient for us..." While thinking, the corners of Young Master Zhang's mouth couldn't help but Showing a smug smirk, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, just listen slowly, I'll go to sleep first." After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhang got into bed with his clothes covered and fell asleep, leaving Xiong Hu leaning on the chair Continue to eavesdrop on the movement next door, without saying anything all night.

…………

A large proportion of people cannot sit up and sleep, and Xiong Hu is one of them, so when Young Master Zhang woke up the next morning, before he opened his eyes, he smelled a sweet fragrance, and then opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, Young Master Zhang was immediately pleasantly surprised to find that Xiong Hu had slept beside him at some point. Although his pink face was painted sallow with oil paint, it was still sleeping like a begonia in spring, which was extremely moving.If such a good opportunity is in front of you, Young Master Zhang will let it go. Immediately half propped up his body, leaned over and kissed Xiong Hu's cherry lips lightly. When the four lips intersected, Young Master Zhang only felt that Xiong Hu's mouth was like blue. The musk deer, very sweet, sucked it unconsciously, but Xiong Hu immediately opened his eyes.

"Young thief, you stinky dog." Xiong Hu pushed Eldest Young Master Zhang away, and jumped off the bed with a blushing face. Young Master Zhang thought he was going to be beaten, so he shrank his neck and hugged his head.Unexpectedly, Xiong Hu just rushed to the door of the room quickly, with her back facing Young Master Zhang and bowed her head, her delicate body trembling violently.After a long time, Xiong Hu snorted: "Still not getting up? The sun is coming out soon." Young Master Zhang hurriedly got up from the bed as if relieved.

"In front of us... that." Xiong Hu turned around, lowered her head and said shyly: "If you dare to treat me so lightly again, I will never forgive you." Young Master Zhang was overjoyed, and stepped forward to hold Xiong Hu's little hand Asked: "Huhu, the one you mentioned, is it marriage marriage?" Xiong Hu was shy and didn't answer, just nodded slightly.Young Master Zhang was even more ecstatic, he opened his arms to hug Xiong Hu again, Xiong Hu hurriedly pushed away, and said angrily: "I warned you just now, but you're messing around again, you really deserve to be beaten." Young Master Zhang smiled awkwardly, knowing that he I was confused by joy.

Happy to happy, but Master Zhang still remembered the important thing. When leaving the inn, Young Master Zhang asked Xiong Hu to pay for the shop for two days, and continued to occupy the room next to Chen Wenfan, and then left Yuelai Inn with Xiong Hu.On the way back to the original inn, Young Master Zhang calmly took Xiong Hu's little hand again. Although Xiong Hu was shy, he did not refuse, but let Young Master Zhang hold hands and walked side by side.After walking for a while, Xiong Hu remembered what happened last night, and asked, "By the way, yesterday you said you wanted to find a way to get the money from Jiannu spies, have you figured out a way now?"

"I've figured out a solution, but the most troublesome thing right now is that I don't have enough manpower." Young Master Zhang was very distressed, and explained: "I told you yesterday that Chen Wenfan's box had to be lifted by four people. That is to say, I need at least four reliable and strong men to help, but the reliable and usable ones I have now are just stones, plus a small shop at most, and two are missing. Originally, the new house I bought There are still some servants here, but those servants haven't had much contact with them, so they may not be reliable, so I have a headache."

"Stupid, you wouldn't have told me earlier?" Xiong Hu habitually gave Young Master Zhang a blank look, and said in a low voice, "Did you forget my two elder brothers? Although my second elder brother Xiong Zhaolian is a scholar, he has no strength." It’s too young, and my elder brother, Xiong Zhaogui, is stronger than my father, better than me in martial arts, can draw a bow with both hands, and with their help, moving the box is a breeze.”

"It's a good idea, but will they help with this kind of thing?" Young Master Zhang asked.Xiong Hu turned her face away, and said shyly: "I will try to persuade them, besides, you made me stay away for three nights in a row, if we don't let them know and agree to our matter, they won't just scold them It’s as simple as punishing me to kneel.”

"Ah!" Young Master Zhang exclaimed exaggeratedly, and then said in a low voice: "It's my fault. I should buy something and go to visit my two brothers-in-law. If there is any impoliteness, I should fight, I should fight."

Xiong Hu was even more shy, and said angrily: "If you are so glib again, I will really beat you. Tell me, should we go back to the inn first, or go directly to my house?" Young Master Zhang replied immediately without even thinking about it. : "Why go back to the inn? First find a place where there is no one to wash off your makeup, and then go directly to your house after shopping. Besides, Xiu'er was beaten up by your two brothers when I went late. Zhang Shitou The boy will feel distressed again." Xiong Hu nodded without any objection.

The plan was confirmed, Young Master Zhang and Xiong Hu immediately found a secluded well, washed off their makeup, combed their hair again, although there was no place to change their clothes, it was not a big deal, they bought a lot of expensive gifts, hired The car went straight to Ankang Hutong where Xiong Hu lived.When we got off the car at the entrance of the alley, Young Master Zhang just took Xiong Hu's little hand to walk into the alley, when a beggar who was lying under a tree next to the entrance of the alley got up and stopped Young Master Zhang with a broken bowl, with a rough voice Said: "Young master, give me some money."

"No, take it." Young Master Zhang was in the right mood, and he took out a piece of silver weighing two or three taels from his purse and threw it into the beggar's bowl.Young Master Zhang was so generous, the beggar was not overjoyed, but actually said: "My lord, you are so generous, can you give me a little more?"

"Hey, is there a beggar like you in the world?" Young Master Zhang laughed, and then looked at the beggar carefully, and found that he was not very old, only eighteen or nine years old, wearing a tattered firework suit. The Taoist was dressed in clothes, but his figure was unusually burly and tall, a full head taller than Young Master Zhang.At this time, Xiong Hu was not happy anymore, and said angrily: "Why are you so greedy? We have already given you two or three taels of silver. Have you ever met such a generous person like us in your life? Why do you still want it? It's just shameless and shameless!"

"Girl, if you don't want to give it, then you just say so, and you don't need to hurt anyone." The beggar had a lot of backbone, and handed the silver in the broken bowl back to Young Master Zhang, angrily said: "Young master, this silver I don't want it anymore, I will pay you back."

"Characteristic, I like it." Young Master Zhang has grown up so much, and this is the first time he has met such a characterful person, so he couldn't help but lose his temper, smiled and took out another ten taels of silver and put it into the beggar's hand, laughing Said: "Just for your arrogance, I have to give you another ten taels. My lady is a woman. Don't be as knowledgeable as her, can you?"

"Okay." The tall beggar agreed heartily, took the money and lay back under the tree to continue sleeping.Young Master Zhang smiled, pulled the angry Xiong Hu into the alley, Xiong Hu complained very unhappy: "You just said yesterday that your money is almost spent, and today you gave a beggar a dozen taels of silver." , you have so much money that you have no place to put it?"

While speaking, Young Master Zhang and Xiong Hu had arrived at the gate of the small courtyard that Xiong's family rented.Young Master Zhang hurriedly adjusted his turban and clothes, preparing to impress his two brothers-in-law. Xiong Hu was also extremely nervous, and carefully opened the courtyard door, looking into the courtyard.But who would have thought that as soon as the courtyard door was pushed open, Xiong Zhaogui's thunderous voice sounded in the front room of the courtyard, "Xiong Hu, you damn girl are finally willing to come back? Come in and kneel down, tell me honestly, you What is the relationship with Zhang Haogu?"

"Hey, how did my brother know about my relationship with Young Master Gou?" Xiong Hu froze for a moment.Young Master Zhang was equally astonished, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Xiong, don't get me wrong, your sister and I are still just friends."

"Master, why are you here? Run!" Zhang Shitou's voice suddenly sounded in the room.Young Master Zhang was completely dumbfounded at this moment, thinking that Zhang Shitou is not really so stupid, he really came here to intercede with Xiu'er, right?
Young Master Zhang was not allowed to think too much, amidst the sound of a bear stamping on the ground, the unusually tall and burly Xiong Zhaogui rushed out of the room with a stick in his hand, and roared like thunder: "Zhang Haogu, you bastard! How dare you If you tarnish my sister's innocence, I must beat you to death today!"

"I haven't!" Eldest Young Master Zhang became dizzy when he heard that, and quickly explained.But Xiong Zhaogui didn't give Young Master Zhang a chance to explain at all. He threw Xiong Hu who came up to stop him more than two feet away, and hit Young Master Zhang head-on with a big wooden stick with a thick arm. The gift turned around and ran towards the entrance of the alley.Xiong Zhaogui kept chasing after him, yelling, "You dog thief, stop! Last time you came to my house, I knew you had bad intentions. It turned out that you came after my sister. Today I will teach you a lesson. Thief!"

"I'm wronged!" Eldest Young Master Zhang scrambled desperately, explaining while running, "Brother Xiong, I am sincere to your sister. I came here today to explain my relationship with your sister!"

"Don't be so wordy! You tricked my sister into not coming home for a few days, and you have the face to say that you are sincere? What do you think of our Xiong family?" Xiong Zhaogui, who was already irritable, was so angry that he chased after her Hurry up, Young Master Zhang was so frightened that he was in a hurry, and he accidentally threw it at the entrance of the alley.Xiong Zhaogui was overjoyed, rushed up and waved his stick with one hand, and greeted Young Master Zhang's white face. The wind from the wooden stick made Young Master Zhang unable to breathe, and Xiong Hu, who was chasing after him, closed his eyes in fright, and screamed: "Brother !No--!"

With a muffled "bang", Young Master Zhang's fair face was unexpectedly not beaten into a meat paste by the wooden stick, but Xiong Zhaogui's thick wooden stick was fixed in the air instead.Young Master Zhang, who escaped from death, looked up, only to see the tall beggar standing beside him at some point, holding Xiong Zhaogui's big wooden stick with his left hand.Xiong Zhaogui was also taken aback, and shouted, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." The tall beggar replied with a smile: "Brother, I just saw it with my own eyes. Your sister and this young master are clearly in love with each other. Why do you want to stop me?"

"You want to care? This bastard really likes my sister, so he should send a matchmaker to propose marriage first, and only after I, the eldest brother, agrees." Xiong Zhaogui roared: "But he tricked my sister out, beheaded first and then played, and defiled my Xiong family. I must beat him to death today!" Roaring, Xiong Zhaogui clenched the wooden stick with both hands and grabbed it with all his might, "Get lost!"

"It's not that easy for me to get lost." Although the tall beggar only held the wooden stick with one hand, his expression was very understated.But Xiong Zhaogui exerted all his strength, but the wooden stick seemed to have taken root in the hand of a tall beggar, and he couldn't pull it out for a long time.In the end, the tall beggar got a little impatient, and with a flick of his hand, the thick wooden stick with his arm broke, and Xiong Zhaogui himself was thrown on his back.Xiong Zhaogui couldn't help but exclaimed again: "Who are you? Report your name!"

"I already look like this, so what face do I have to say my name and insult my ancestors?" The beggar was young, but sighed as if he had been weather-beaten, and replied: "If you must know, just call me by my nickname." Wu hook."

Note: This beggar is not a fictional character, smart friends must already know who he is.
