Chapter 113: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High
The white canopy boat sailed back to Suzhou City and stopped directly at the Xujia Wharf in the Humble Administrator's Garden.
Xu Fan actually greeted him at the pier in person.
It's been three days since my brother was captured, and he hasn't dared to tell the old man in Songjiang's hometown.
After returning to his hometown, Xu Ge Lao fell ill, if he knew about Xu Kun, if he was angry, the sky of the Xu family would collapse.
Therefore, Xu Fan was anxious and wanted to get Xu Kun back quickly. In addition to asking Lin Xunping to help put pressure on Kunshan County, he also spent a lot of money to invite Wang Zhideng, the first genius in Suzhou, to go to Xishan Island as a lobbyist. Look at how the surname Zhao can release people?
Wang Zhideng is a disciple of Wen Zhengming, a rare talent, Changyi Junfa, is considered to be the successor of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and is known as the leader of the Suzhou poetry circle.
Isn't Zhao Hao known as the 'fig leaf of the Ming poetry circle'? In Xu Fan's opinion, these two people should smell like each other, maybe the surname Zhao can give the surname Wang some face.
When Uncle Xu, who was full of expectations, saw Wang Dacaizi's lips white, his face was pale, and his hair was scattered and he was carried out of the cabin, he was stunned.
"What's going on?" Xu Fan saw that the clothes of Wang Zhideng and his group were covered with mud and traces of aquatic plants, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Have you been a guest in the Dragon Palace?" ”
"Almost, let a little brat...... I planted lotus flowers......" Wang Zhideng said tremblingly.
"Huh? Zhao Hao threw you into the water? Sure enough, he still knows the other person best, Xu Fan.
"I didn't see Zhao Gongzi......" Wang Zhideng smiled bitterly: "I let a little fart and throw it into the water over and over again." ”
"That little kid is Zhao Hao!" Xu Fan closed his eyes depressedly.
"Huh?" Wang Zhideng's jaw dropped in shock. "He's still a kid?!"
"What do you think?" Xu Fan sighed speechlessly, sure enough, 'It's useless, it's a scholar'.
Hey, why is this poem so annoying, ah, it turned out to be done by Zhao Hao!
Phew, this sentence is crossed out.
"Then I haven't seen the second master." Xu Fan sighed in disappointment.
"I really saw ......" Wang Zhideng wanted to show his merits, but then stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong with him? Injured? Missing arms and legs? Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Fan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Or are you covered in bruises from being tortured?" ”
"It's not that I'm not hurt, but I was forced to work by them......" Wang Zhideng sighed.
"That's okay......" Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, just do some work, it's nothing more than dirty and tired, and he won't lack arms and legs. What did they tell him to do? ”
"Pour the night incense ......" Wang Zhideng's voice is like a gnat.
"What?!" Xu Fan couldn't believe his ears. "What kind of incense?"
"It's just pushing a dung cart and pouring night incense." Wang Dacai sighed again. His heart is not much bigger than Zhao Gongzi.
Zhao Hao humiliated him so much, of course he had to make a fuss in front of Xu Fan, so that the Xu family would kill Zhao Hao.
"It's just pouring the toilet......" Xu Fan's long entourage beside him, lest the uncle couldn't hear it, so he hurriedly whispered to the translator.
"I want you to talk too much! Lao Tzu understands what it means! Xu Fan was angry with him with a dark face, and said hatefully: "Starting tonight, the night incense of the Humble Administrator's Garden will be poured by you!" ”
"Ah......h
"Get out, get out!" Xu Fan sent away the useless Wang Zhideng, and then paced back and forth on the dock irritably.
He only felt that his face was feverish, and his stomach was full of evil fire and there was nowhere to vent. The kid surnamed Zhao is too unscrupulous!
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! The face of the first wealthy family in the southeast of the Xu family, how could he be so humiliated?!
If you don't come back with immediate revenge, where will the Xu family's face go? Let's put it under my belly and use it as an ass!
Xu Fan finally couldn't hold back his raging anger, and ordered his subordinates with a black face: "Immediately send an order to Kunshan, do it tonight!" Burn him clean! ”
"Yes!" The steward immediately took the order, got on the boat at the dock and went out of the city, went down the Loujiang River, and arrived in Kunshan in more than half an hour, conveying the uncle's order in place.
~~
It was the longest time of the year, and as soon as it was dark, the husband knocked on a watch.
"Fire and water are merciless, beware of fire and candle ......"
In the big house at the end of Xitang Street, a group of people such as goatee, big mole and stammerer got together again to report their progress.
"Today, after a day of watching in the City God Temple, there are still five grain boats at the dock, and two more boats go out to deliver grain to the embankment." The big mole reported.
"It's been like this every day for the past half a month, and there should be forty-five boats and eighteen thousand stone of grain stored in the warehouse, which is really a lot." The goatee twisted his goatee, nodded with satisfaction, and asked another person, "What's going on with the night patrol?" ”
"After inquiring, the head of the southeast city returns to the king's squad to patrol the night, and he has sixteen white servants under him, patrolling in two shifts every night. It takes about a quarter of an hour to pass through the reserve chamber once. ”
"Well, a quarter of an hour should be enough." The goatee groaned for a while, and then said to the man: "You bring a dozen or so people to cats in Fangjia Lane, in case the patrol comes back early, or if there is no fire when they come back, you will find a way to drag them down." ”
"Hey, okay." The man nodded in response.
"How's Curry doing?" Goatee asked the stammerer again.
"Soup, Ambassador Tompu Tang is back tonight, going home. Liu, Deputy Envoy Liu with ten Kuding, watching, looking at the library. He stammered: "Already, there is already a Kudin, take, take our money." said, said that Deputy Envoy Liu went to bed early, and felt that it was the fourth watch. ”
"Wait, as soon as Deputy Envoy Liu sleeps, he will fight and open the back door. However, then open, set up a bet at the beginning, Library, Kudin is not a person who doesn't like to play and play money. ”
"When the time comes, we'll sneak in through the back door and set it on fire?" The goatee couldn't hold it back, and rushed to say it for him.
"No," stammered, "not bad." ”
The goatee rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that he thought it was wrong.
"What time is the right time?"
"Three, three days."
"Where's the door to the warehouse?"
"Yes, there's a spare key." Don't look at stammering, but do things more appropriately than ordinary people. Otherwise, Goatee would not have entrusted him with such an important matter.
"That's good." Goatee asked again if the oil and the retreating ships were ready. After getting a satisfactory answer, he said with a solemn expression:
"I just received an order from my uncle before dark, let's do it tonight and burn him clean!"
"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly responded in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the uncle said, as long as this matter is done beautifully, all of you will be entered into the Xu family tree!" Goatee said in a deep voice, "What does this mean, I don't need to repeat it, do I?" ”
"I will not let the uncle down, and try my best to serve the Xu family!" A group of false Xu family members shouted excitedly.
"Be quiet." The goatee was so shocked that his ears were buzzing, he glanced at everyone, and said in a slow tone: "Rest for half an hour, set off on the second watch!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
