Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Teahouse Old Zheng, some people also call him Zheng Older. With a roll of his tongue, the honorific contains ridicule and intimacy. At this time, the smile on his face will be more obvious and there will be more wrinkles.  He is fifty-three years old, but he is clumsy, and with his head full of gray hair, he looks sixty-seven years old. He has understood a truth a long time ago: in front of heroes in the world, weakness is a talisman and a stepping stone.  People who go to Luojiazhuang are often willing to show generosity to him, and the cost is not high anyway, usually dozens of copper plates, or one or two taels of silver.  Silver ingots of ten taels per piece are rare. Therefore, Old Zheng was deeply impressed by Mr. Su from the Western Regions. At the same time, he also remembered that Gu Shenwei, who was just passing by, served him extremely attentively. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He had a premonition that he would be angry again today.  A small fortune.  But when a bright yellow object was placed on the shabby table, he was still stunned. He murmured a stupid sentence for a long time: "Is thisgold?" "This is your gold." Gu Shenwei emphasized,  Pushed it gently.  Lao Zheng didn¡¯t dare to accept it. He understood another truth: what you get must come with a price, and the two are always equal. He didn¡¯t know what he had that was worth a piece of real gold.  "II don't need it." Lao Zheng forced himself to spit out these words, but his eyes couldn't leave the shining piece of gold for a moment, and he felt that his eyes were going to be blurry.  "You don't need it today, but you can always use it in the future." Gu Shenwei's eyes never left the old and timid face.  "What do you want to know?" Lao Zheng's mind finally turned around.  The location of the tea shed is very good. It is only a stone's throw away from the official road and only four or five miles away from Chengjiazhuang. The guests who come and go can basically not escape his eyes.  "When people from all over the world come to the capital, they all want to visit Master Cheng Jiu?" "Of course." After discovering that the problem was so simple, Lao Zheng felt confident.  He reluctantly moved his eyes away from the gold nugget and spoke faster involuntarily, "Cheng Jiuye loves to do chivalry, help those in need, solve problems, and make friends. No matter you are a disciple of a famous family or a criminal on the run, as long as you enter  Chengjiazhuang, you will be warmly entertained, you will have food and drink, you will be safe, and a sum of money will be given to you before you leave. Who in the world does not praise the 'Lord of Life'? " This is obviously a set of flattery that has been memorized for a long time.  Linglong curled her lips in disdain, but Chu Nanping was very interested in this and interjected, "Then this Master Cheng Jiu. Can he be called a knight?" "A knight? Master Cheng Jiu is a world-famous hero.  "Old Zheng raised his voice, as if to refute a ridiculous statement, and immediately said with a smile: "Of course, I just heard that Master Cheng Jiu did take care of me. Not only did he allow me to build a shed here, but he also said with a smile.  I even gave him some money for tea when I passed by. One time, he even apologized to me and sent someone to bring me two taels of silver when he returned to the village. "Tell me, where can I find someone like this?"  Linglong couldn't help it any longer and said, "If he is really as generous as you said, why don't you ask him for more money, move to a lively place, and open a bigger business?" Lao Zheng was stunned.  Then he smiled and said: "What this girl said makes sense, but people have to be self-aware, right? Those who come to the Cheng family for help are either heroes or righteous men. I am a helpless old man, what can I repay others? I dare to come and ask for help.  Money? People are contented, and I am very contented. Although I have never entered Chengjiazhuang, if it were not for this village, I would have starved to death on the street. " Tie Linglong still pouted, she had a simple and stubborn idea:  Anyone who opposes the Dragon King must be insidious. This Cheng Jiuye sounds like a hypocrite.  Another hero, Gu Shenwei thought of Marshal Yang, "Did you just say that criminals also came to Chengjiazhuang?" Old Zheng rubbed his head. He had memorized that phrase so well that he forgot the specific content and thought about it.  After a while, he hesitated and said: "Not that kind of heinous criminal Actually, there are not many. Cheng Jiuye has a good relationship with the government Big officials often come here to visit." Gu Shenwei took a look  Seeing the gold on the table, Old Zheng was slightly flustered, and suddenly made up his mind. He walked to the roadside, glanced twice in the direction of Guandao and Chengjiazhuang, returned to the shed, and whispered: "There are indeed people who broke the law and defected to Chengjiazhuang."  , but you must also know some rules. Don't show up during the day. It's best not to ride a horse when you come at night. In short, they may come quietly and leave quietly. They may not be asking Cheng Jiuye for help. Many times they come to give money, often carrying boxes empty-handed.  Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Sit on the ground and divide the spoils.¡± Tie Linglong concluded.  Lao Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and signaled her to whisper, "Little girl, don't say this nonsense" Tie Linglong stared at her eyes. Although she still looked very young, no one had called her "little girl" for several years.  .  Old Zheng knowsHe said something wrong and hurriedly smiled and said: "The heroine is also from the Western Regions. You can tell at a glance." "The night before yesterday, or maybe the night before yesterday, a group of people visited Chengjiazhuang at night." Gu Shenwei finished the conversation.  Grabbing it, he just asked the key point.  "Yeah, well, let me think about it, it should be the day before yesterday, it was not a group, just two people. They didn't bring any boxes. They left after probably less than half an hour." "There was nothing when I left.  Bring?" Lao Zheng shook his head, "Come and leave empty-handed. I think Mr. Cheng Jiu is definitely dissatisfied with them. This is too much. I have never seen such people" Lao Zheng began to talk about the principles of life.  Gu Shenwei pushed the money to him and stood up to say goodbye.  After walking more than a hundred steps, Tie Linglong asked: "Brother Gu, what are you asking about?" The Dragon King couldn't call him anymore. Mr. Gu seemed too unfamiliar. Tie Linglong thought for two days and finally decided to call him "Brother Gu".  "Remember the monk named Shi Qingjue, right?" "Of course you remember, he killed King Dubu. Now there is a legend about him in Biyu City. It seems that he is very powerful, but in fact he has picked a big advantage." "Shi Qingjue has always been  He was a horse bandit outside the Great Wall and recently came to the capital and took Shangguan Cheng away. "It turned out to be him." Tie Linglong suddenly realized, "Why did he kidnap Shangguan Cheng?" "You forgot?  Shangguan Cheng is still the Iron Spear King of Tieshan, and Shi Qingjue's gang still calls himself Tieshan. "No wonder you're not in a hurry. So Shangguan Cheng is really not in danger." Gu Shenwei took a few steps. It's hard to say whether there is any danger.  Shi Qingjue was an uncontrollable and unpredictable person back then. Perhaps it was more than a coincidence that he came to pick up Shangguan Cheng six years later.  "Although Tieshan dares to rob anyone, they rarely enter the Central Plains and are not familiar with the capital. Shi Qingjue took Shangguancheng away and disappeared. He must have received help from outsiders." "It's this old guy Cheng Yi.  , If the robbers don't look for him, who else can they look for?" Tie Linglong said angrily, thinking even more that Master Cheng Jiu was not a good person.  The two people the night before yesterday were most likely the men sent by Shi Qingjue, or even him himself. He had been a gangster for six years, so he naturally understood the rules of the world. He didn't bring a box, so he must have other gifts that could impress Cheng Yi.  "He's lying." Chu Nanping, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.  Gu Shenwei and Tie Linglong stopped and looked at Xiao Chu in surprise.  "The old man just now. When he spoke, his peripheral vision never left the gold. But when he mentioned that two people visited Chengjiazhuang the night before, he stopped looking at the gold. When he said that the two people left without taking anything, his eyes and tone were different.  The most determined, but he didn't have to do this." There was a smile in Tie Linglong's green eyes, which showed appreciation and love from the inside out. "Is Xiaochu smarter than before?" she asked.  Gu Shenwei nodded.  I wondered why Shangguan Ru would think of breaking up these two people.  Doesn¡¯t she like to arrange marriages for others?  "Do you want me to ask the truth?" Tie Linglong was eager to try.  "No, follow me into the village. It's not too late to ask when you come out." "Will there be a fight today?" Tie Linglong became more and more excited.  "If there is a fight, do you know what to do?" "If you are outnumbered, of course you will run away, but if someone chases you too closely, you will be unlucky." Tie Linglong blinked tacitly, pretending to run away, making the majority  Scatter the enemies and then defeat them one by one. This is one of the tactics she has learned a long time ago.  Chengjiazhuang is holding a funeral.  The word "hang" is posted on the door, a soul-calling flag is erected at the door, and the servants are all wearing plain clothes and hats.  "They are preparing for a funeral before they even take action?" Tie Linglong whispered, feeling very strange.  A steward from the village came over to welcome him, raised his hands and said, "I'll forgive you, my master. Please follow me to the back of the village. The owner and other heads of the village are waiting for you." The steward led the way, but it was not Jiu who went there.  The direction of the curved beach.  Tie Linglong asked dissatisfiedly: "Who died in the village?" "Well, it's not someone from the village, but a relative of the owner of the village, a master of the Luo family." Tie Linglong had no news in the Huaixi Pavilion, so she asked Gu  Shenwei cast a doubtful look.  "Luo Qicang, I hit you a few times in the past two days." Tie Linglong's eyes lit up, "It turns out that this funeral is a show of force, just for you to see." The steward heard this from the front, and his waist was slightly bent.  When he becomes straight, he expresses his anger in this way.  In front of it is a large pond, connected to the river.There is a spacious waterside pavilion with doors and windows open on all sides. Looking from a distance, there is no one inside.  "Didn't I say that I'm waiting for you? Where is he?" Tie Linglong asked loudly.  The steward led the three of them to the entrance of the waterside pavilion and said, "Please wait a moment, the owner of the village and all the heads will be here soon." After that, he walked towards the side door of the manor.  "Wait." Gu Shenwei called him.  The steward stopped and turned around, "What do you want Mr. Gu to do?" "I just think you look familiar, but I don't remember seeing you before." "Mr. Gu has never entered the village, so we should have never met." "No, I don't know you.  I have an impression." "Oh, the evening before yesterday, I took people to the Huaixi Pavilion to bring out the remains of the four martyrs of the Yuqing Sect, but I don't remember seeing Mr. Gu at that time." "Maybe I was the one who looked out.  I¡¯ve seen you before. What¡¯s your surname?¡± ¡°My surname is Liang. I take care of some chores in the village. Everyone calls me Liang Zhuangtou.¡± When Liang Zhuangtou walked into the manor, Tie Linglong asked in a low voice.  He took Shi Qingjue to snatch Guancheng?" "That's him," Gu Shenwei said with certainty.
