The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 580

Let's say that Liu Xiaoqi and others met a group of green forest thieves in Huashan. The leader of the thieves was an old man with a bald head, and asked Liu Mingyi's background with a smile.Liu Xiaoqi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's my niece." He walked up to the child and patted her head.

The old man said "oh", and looked at Uncle Yang: "I heard that this friend's accent is from the capital, but he is with Yang Daxia?"

Liu Xiaoqi wondered: "Isn't it good to have a good relationship with Daxia Yang?"

The old man hurriedly said: "My friend misunderstood. Yang Daxia is from Jiangxi. Now that Jiangxi is lush and green, it is not surprising that friends from other places go to Jiangxi to make a living. However, the rangers in the capital have also become famous in recent years. Is it not easy to do business in Beijing? ?”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Business in the first two years was the easiest in Beijing, but it's been a bit more difficult recently, and it's still better than other places. Jiangxi is not green and lush, but it's okay to do business clearly."

The old man wondered: "Can't it be done elsewhere?"

Liu Xiaoqi was surprised: "Are there other places where the green forest business can be done besides Jiangxi? The Eagle Claw Sun doesn't care about other places?"

The old man said, "Oh, that's true. It's cheaper to do many things in Jiangxi."

Yang Erbo said: "Jiangxi people are also in charge, but they can't do anything. Anyway, the brothers are safe and sound, and don't cause trouble."

The old man thought: "I haven't left Huashan for many years, so I don't know much about the market outside."

Liu Xiaoqi asked casually, "What does a friend do?"

The old man said: "In the early years, I used to pick poles and walked across the sea sand. In recent years, I have been tired and lazy, and I don't go out much. I only cut darts occasionally on the mountain."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I've also done picking poles. Now this business is the most profitable, it only depends on people's faces. The old man has both skills and manpower, so it's better to do two votes than to cut darts on the mountain."

The old man clasped his fists together: "Thank you!" He looked at Liu Mingyi and smiled, "Are you actually bringing such a young child out to climb the mountain? How can she climb?"

Liu Mingyi said in a small voice, "I can climb so fast!"

The old man smiled and said, "Are you climbing fast? Do you usually have mountains to climb in Beijing?"

Liu Mingyi said: "In Beijing, you can only climb trees and walls, but when you leave Beijing, there are many mountains."

Liu Xiaoqi coughed, and touched the top of her head: "Naughty like a wild boy!" He raised his head and said, "All brothers in the world. Taking advantage of the moon, you can find another sheep, be careful not to leave It's ready." Liu Mingyi took advantage of the situation and yawned, and Jia Gui also yawned.

The old man glanced at Liu Mingyi again, and clasped his fists at Uncle Yang: "My brother is not clear about his tricks, and he didn't recognize Hero Yang. I hope your boss has a lot."

Uncle Yang looked at Jia Gui, and Jia Gui hummed and stepped forward to undo the handcuffs.The man got up and went back to the old man.Yang Erbo said: "My friend, would you like to tell me something?"

The old man said: "It's not worth mentioning." He took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and put them on the steps as compensation to the shopkeeper. After a whistle, he led the people away.Seeing that he was gone, Liu Mingyi clapped her hands, "Oh~~" and shouted.The shopkeeper woke up early, so he dared to come out now.Dong Yu said a few words of comfort, and pointed to the copper coins for them to accept.

Liu Xiaoqi took her niece's collar and greeted everyone to come into his room, dipped her finger in tea and wrote the pinyin of "The wall has ears" on the case, then erased it, stared at Liu Mingyi and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ?”

Liu Mingyi was at a loss: "Huh? What?"

Liu Xiaoqi snorted, "You recruited these people today. What did you say to the old woman selling flowers and candles in Bajing Palace?"

Liu Mingyi was still at a loss: "Huh? I don't remember! I just asked her how those paper flowers and paper horses were tied together."

Dong Yu said beside him: "Among the people who just came, two are Taoist priests, and the rest are not."

Liu Xiaoqi asked: "Where is that bald head?"

"No." Dong Yu said, "That man is usually a farmer, and being a thief is probably a part-time job."

Jia Gui said, "Did Yi'er show off her wealth in front of that old woman?"

Dong Yu said: "We didn't bring much money out!"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Go and test that old lady tomorrow."

Liu Mingyi hurriedly said: "Don't you want to go play elsewhere tomorrow? I don't want to climb here anymore."

Liu Xiaoqi glanced at her: "What exactly did you tell her? Do you think adults are idiots? You've been wrong since this morning."

Dong Yu said: "Yi'er doesn't need to pretend, that bald head is obviously provoking you and trying to seduce you. The old woman in the Bajing Palace has a good bearing, and she must have been a beauty when she was young. Bao Buqi is some kind of female Jiangyang thief who married someone and hid here here."

Liu Mingyi blurted out: "No way!"

"Oh? You know?"

Liu Mingyi regretted her words as soon as she uttered them. Knowing that she had betrayed her, she lingered for a long time, seeing that the adults had no intention of letting her go, so she could only mutter: "I...I helped her man deliver letters to her."

Liu Xiaoqi and Dong Yuqi shuddered: "What did you say?" "Who are you helping?!"

Liu Mingyi was taken aback, and faltered, "That old man's...man..."

Liu Xiaoqi and Dong Yu looked at each other, and asked after a while, "Who is her man?"

Liu Mingyi shook his head: "I don't know. An old man was imprisoned by bandits in Jinggangshan. I heard that he was imprisoned for many years."

Liu Xiaoqi took a deep breath, and after a while, poked her hard with a finger: "Your master fostered you on the mountain of others, you eat other people's food, and they have to send two minions to look after you. How dare you help me?" Someone is sending a message to the enemy?"

Liu Mingyi was taken aback: "An enemy?"

"If it wasn't an enemy, why would you be imprisoned for so many years?" Liu Xiaoqi said angrily, "What message did the old man ask you to pass?"

"It's no big deal." Seeing that her uncle didn't seem to be very angry, Liu Mingyi pouted cutely, "That is to say, he can't leave by himself anyway, so let me send a letter to his wife and children, just saying that he is dead, so as not to miss him .” Paused, “He didn’t even tell me his name.”

Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "I didn't even tell you your name and surname, but I just asked you to go to Huashan to find the old lady who sells flowers and candles at the gate of Chaoyang Peak Bajing Palace?" Liu Mingyi nodded.

Jia Gui couldn't help but said: "If there is more than one old lady who sells flowers and candles at the gate of Bajing Palace, does Yi'er tell every old lady, 'Your old man is dead, don't worry about it anymore'?"

Liu Mingyi was stunned: "There's only a candle seller over there!"

Jia Gui clapped his hands and said: "It can be seen that the old man who was locked up knows that there is only one flower and candle seller in the Bajing Palace. At least two of the Taoist priests in the Bajing Palace are thieves, right Xiaoyu?"

"Correct!"

"Could it be that the Bajing Palace is a den of thieves? The old woman who sells flowers and candles is a lookout?" Jia Guixing raised his head, "The old man who was imprisoned in Jinggangshan is the head of the Bajing Palace.

Dong Yu thought about it: "It also makes sense. They came here today to ask Yi'er about the old man."

Liu Mingyi snorted and said, "Sneak attack in the middle of the night is called inquiring? If it's a good idea to ask, it's fine, so I won't tell them!"

Liu Xiaoqi poked her finger: "It's not your fault!"

Liu Mingyi muttered in a low voice: "I think that old man is pitiful..."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "What's so pitiful? If you do a lot of things like appointing gangsters to eat gangsters, it will fall into the hands of your comrades. If you come out to mess around, you have to pay it back. Why don't your uncle stop it? Right? Great Xia Yang."

Uncle Yang said with a smile: "There is fun in the green forest. If you like to walk, walk, if you don't like to walk, just stop. But it's easy to handle if you don't have any big problems."

Dong Yu lowered his eyelids and said, "It's fine if you have nothing to do. Go back to the house and sleep, we still have to play tomorrow."

Jia Gui disappointed: "Just for fun? Don't you want to check the Bajing Palace?"

"I don't want to investigate, it has nothing to do with us anyway." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Yi'er is just a messenger. The word has been passed on, we can't care about anything else." Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.The store changed Jia Gui to another room.

When they woke up the next morning, they had just had breakfast when they saw a Taoist priest walking into the inn and beating everyone.Liu Xiaoqi reached out and took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and gave it to him, and also said "Infinite Heavenly Venerable".The Taoist smiled wryly: "The poor Taoist is not here for alms." He looked at Liu Mingyi, "The one who bothered the little benefactor to pass on the message is the biological father of the poor Taoist."

Liu Mingyi blinked her eyes: "No! You don't look like that old man, nor that flower candle seller."

The Taoist was stunned: "Not all children may look like their parents."

Dong Yu asked: "Dare to ask about the Changzun name?"

"The poor know the truth."

Dong Yu and Liu Xiaoqi looked at each other, knowing that this was not the son of the Supreme Emperor.Nai said, "Our children don't know anything."

The Taoist sighed softly: "I haven't heard from my father for many years, and now I receive this bad news, and my mother is already sick in bed."

Liu Mingyi tugged at Jia Gui who was sitting beside her and said in a low voice, "I don't think this Taoist priest looks like a dead father."

"I see it too." Jia Gui also whispered, "The eye circles are not red, it's obvious that you haven't cried."

The Taoist coughed and began to tell the story cheekily.He said that his mother was originally his father's concubine.His father's family was a big family, and the brothers fought for property and were bloodied.His mother originally persuaded his father not to make such a move, because he would lose a share of the family property anyway, but his father just refused to listen, and still plunged into it.His father's eldest wife didn't like his mother, and tried to kill his mother while his mother was pregnant.His mother then took the opportunity to tell his father that the family could not live there, and secretly carried him out of the house and hid in Huashan.

This person chattered for a long time, Liu Xiaoqi's face sank, he stood up and clasped his fists to him and said: "These are all family affairs of the Taoist priest, don't tell us!" He called the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and they left immediately.The Taoist priest was not annoyed, he saluted and turned away.

Liu Mingyi probed her head, held back for a long time, and asked: "Uncle Qi, what did that Taoist priest talk about for a long time? Why did you change your face?"

Liu Xiaoqi glared at her: "Go back to the house and clean up, let's go!"

Jia Gui said: "Why did the locked-up old man finally get someone to send a message and only tell the little wife? What about the eldest wife?"

Dong Yu said: "He has been imprisoned for so many years, and the family property has probably been divided among the sons. Will the eldest wife take care of him if he is the old lady? He has to serve him when he is alive. I think this is the only little wife who is a little Besides, his brothers fought over the family property, and maybe it was the brothers who made him fall into the hands of the bandits."

Liu Xiaoqi shouted: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb! Pack your bags and go!" Dong Yu shrank his neck, stood up and led the way, Jia Gui and Liu Mingyi followed.

Yang Erbert stayed behind and asked softly, "Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and said: "Send a pregnant concubine to hide in the mountains, and let the son become a monk, how can this be an ordinary family? Even the first wife refuses to believe but the concubine, I don't know how much Bad debt. This Taoist priest is here to test us and wants us to help."

I heard someone outside the window laughing: "Yes, I really want to ask some help." After a while, the old man walked in slowly last night, clasped his fists and said, "There is a good deal, I wonder if Daxia Yang and this friend will agree to it?" willing to do it together."

Liu Xiaoqi immediately said: "Don't do it." Without waiting for the old man to speak, he waved his hands and said, "The bigger the business, the more difficult it is. The trapped old man obviously doesn't trust his family. If you can force everyone here, his family members The ability must be great. I don't want to think about the good things of 'you will get rich after the thing is done'. What if the thing doesn't work out? Am I going to lose my life?"

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time: "It's rare to have such security at a young age. Think about it again, the more difficult the transaction, the greater the profit, huge, huge, huge, kid, don't you want to hear it? "

Liu Xiaoqi waved his hand: "I don't want to anymore. No one in the world who has the word 'Great' can escape the word 'Tianjia', but only things related to their family can't escape. In the green forest, free and easy, who would want to mess with them?"

The old man was surprised, nodded his head after a long while and said: "The Liu family has taken in a good apprentice." Nai then asked, "How did your master become a monk? Their family has guarded the emperor for generations, and you should not become a monk indiscriminately, let alone accept an apprentice."

Liu Xiaoqi watched him for a while, and said: "It's all gone, what else can I do?"

The old man raised his head and put his hands behind his back and said, "Even if you become a monk, you are still the son of the emperor. Since you are your master's disciple, you should also take it as your duty to defend the emperor."

Liu Xiaoqi raised her eyelids: "I am from the Green Forest, thank you."

The old man snorted, "Go back and ask your master, he is hiding in the green forest under his life."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Don't ask. What if he really took his life and went out to misbehave and cause trouble for me. Anyway, if things are declining today, the Tian family can't control him anymore."

The old man choked, and clapped the table and said: "Heaven, earth, master, master..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Yang coughed: "Your master is from Chiziyaoer?" The old man looked at him and frowned.

Liu Xiaoqi clasped his fists to Uncle Yang and said, "Even if my master really belongs to Chizi Kiln, and the world has become like this, no one will know his identity anymore. It's better to let him be a thief for a lifetime, rather than messing with those who entered the emperor's house." Bad thing. I'll go back and look around to see if he has any signs, secret decrees, etc. If he has, he will destroy them all."

The old man was anxious: "How dare you!"

Liu Xiaoqi chuckled: "Look at me, dare I!"

The old man said: "If you help my lord, you will have eternal glory and wealth!"

Liu Xiaoqi spread his hands and said, "Little sage himself won't be able to be rich, so what can you give me!"

"It's not the little saint, it's the old saint."

Liu Xiaoqi was startled, opened his eyes wide and took a deep breath; the old man smiled.After a long time, Liu Xiaoqi said slowly: "That's even worse. The little sage still has an identity, he has nothing." Nai stretched out his finger, "Who would admit that the rich and the soldiers are he?"
