Chapter 626: Waiting for the Rabbit
Liu Liufu's injuries were not serious, although his head was bleeding, but it was only an extracutaneous injury, and he recovered after some treatment and scrubbing; It's just that his head is full of damage and swelling, and he can't wear his hat, so he only takes a white cloth and wraps it layer after layer, like the occasional Western Regions Ah San in Bianliang City.
After raising him for an afternoon, Xiao Temo couldn't sit still, although he knew that Su Jin was avoiding him, but the matter was made by himself, Su Jin was just saying an excuse, who told him to be looking for something Song Xiaoxiao all over the street, and as a result, he broke into a brothel and was kicked out.
is full of depressed anger, but there is nowhere to vent, and it is not a time to be angry, so you always have to find Song Envoy to start negotiating.
Xiao Temo could only go to Liu Liufu's room to discuss with him, and saw Liu Liufu lying on the bed with a white cloth wrapped in his head and only humming, so he lifted the quilt and scolded: "Don't pretend to be dead?" Look at you, like a woman who has given birth to a child, are you going to just lie there and do nothing? ”
Liu Liufu propped himself up and said with a bitter face: "What else can I do now?" People are clearly avoiding us, are we still blocking his door? ”
Xiao Temo slapped his thigh and said happily: "Good way, it's hard for your brain to be broken yet, let's go to his door to block it, he ran away from the monk and still ran to the temple?" Lao Tzu didn't believe that he didn't even go home. ”
Liu Liufu came to his senses, got up and said: "That's right, I actually forgot about this stubble, and it's not right for us to always look for Su Jin, after all, the main envoy is the one surnamed Fu, and the man looks honest, so we should also look for him." ”
Xiao Temo shook his head and said, "Can't you see it? Fu Bi can't be the master at all, everything is Su Jin, this kid is arranging the main affairs, looking for him is useless, he must have sent us away with the sentence 'If you want to talk, you also need the consent of Deputy Envoy Su' to send us away, haven't you thought about this when Lao Tzu? Or block the gate of Su Jin, as soon as he appears, we will hold him and hold him, we will not leave if we don't start negotiating, or we will live in his house, we will follow him when he eats and sleeps, what can he do with us? ”
Liu Liufu secretly scolded in his stomach: What the hell is this, the dignified envoy of Liao, he came with great momentum, but now he has fallen to the point of begging for talks, if this matter is transmitted back to Liao, it will be strange if the spitting stars up and down do not drown the two of them.
But there is really no other way at the moment, I can't go, I can't even wrap up, and the firearms of the Song people are fierce, if you don't figure it out, you won't pay if you go back; Otherwise, the negotiation errand is not completed, and there is no reason to prevaricate, it is best to find Su Jin and the others to reach an agreement at will, and then wait for the opportunity to find out how many firearms the Song people have, if you can find out how to make them by the way, it will be a great credit.
The two of them had already made a decision, and while the red sun had not yet sunk in the west, they took four of the ten tigers of the Xiao family to dress up again, and left the pavilion with their old skills, and went straight to Su Jin's mansion.
From the third quarter of Shen Shi to the dark of the hour, Xiao Temo and others hid behind the ancient willow by the Bianshui River, looking at the closed gate of the Su Mansion in the alley not far away; The sun goes down the mountain, the spring cold is also cold and biting, the night is slowly pulled up like a curtain, a few people shrink under the willow tree to see the Chinese lights in Bianliang City, the family laughs and laughs, and the fragrance of food wafts near the left, so that these foreign visitors are hungry and full of sorrow and resentment; Recalling all the things after Bian Liang, especially after meeting Su Jin, Xiao Temo couldn't wait to cry.
Just when Xiao Temo was full of sorrow, the four tigers of the Xiao family suddenly whispered: "Two adults, there is movement. ”
Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu hurriedly turned their stiff necks to look, only to see the gate of the Su Mansion opened, and the lights shone out, and they could clearly see that Su Jin was standing at the door in a silver-white robe, and was bidding farewell to a man in official uniform.
I saw Su Jin take an envelope and hand it to the man, the man stretched out his hand and stuffed it into his arms, the two stood at the door and said a few more words, although the voice was not loud, but a few sensitive words still floated over in the quiet night.
"Firearms...... Be careful...... Keeping it a secret...... Transported to Waqiaoguan ......"
The two of them only said a few words, and without saying more, the man took his leave, walked out of the alley, and went straight to the direction of Desheng Bridge on Bianhe Street.
The door of the Su Mansion closed again, and Liu Liufu gritted his teeth and cursed: "It turns out that this kid is actually nesting at home, causing us to suffer from cold and hunger outside, Master Xiao, shall we break in?" ”
Xiao Temo waved his hand slightly, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly grinned: "Let's not look for him tonight, let's find someone else." ”
Liu Liufu said: "Who are you looking for?" I saw Su Jin himself, why didn't I look for it. ”
Xiao Temo grinned toothily and said proudly: "Don't ask any more, Erhu, you lead someone to catch up with the person who came out of the Su Mansion just now, find a secluded place and take him down and tie him up, don't talk, you don't understand the official language of the Song people, as soon as you make a sound, you will leak the bottom, and you will be tied up, and I will go with Deputy Envoy Liu to interrogate." ”
Liu Liufu was stunned and said, "Xiao ...... Master Xiao, what do you want to ......? This is in Bianliang, and something big is going to happen like this. ”
Xiao Temo took a sip and said: "Timid as a mouse, Lao Tzu is not afraid that you are afraid of a bird?" I won't spare you if you are long-winded. ”
Liu Liufu hurriedly shut up, Xiao Erhu quietly climbed the river bank with his three brothers, and chased after him along the street; Xiao Temo patted the grass stalks and soil on his body and took Liu Liufu ashore, glanced at the closed gate of the Su Mansion, and said with a smile: "Boy, you never dreamed that Lao Tzu would be so bold, let you go proudly, grandpa let you go first." ”
The four tigers of the Xiao family do have some skills, and they are not a small cup of tea, and the six tigers with their faces covered rushed back from the front, and Xiao Temo knew that he had succeeded; A few people hurried forward about two miles, and on the side of the street by the river, a stone path led straight to the river beach, probably the steps that the residents of the river washed down to the bottom of the river bank on weekdays; A few people groped their way down the river beach, and under the two large willow trees that grew staggeredly, they saw the man in official uniform who was tied up and sturdy lying on the ground, his head and face were covered with blood, obviously suffering a loss.
Xiao Temo stood still from a distance, and tore off a foot to cover his face firmly, revealing only his two eyes; Liu Liufu painted the gourd in the same way, but unfortunately his hands were thin, and he didn't tear the corners of his clothes for a long time; Xiao Temo was impatient, and reached out on the ground to scoop up a handful of black mud and wipe it on his head and face, making Liu Liufu's mouth and nose full of mud, and he spit out stinky mud.
"Recruit people, you will be the first to die." Xiao Temo scolded, and then motioned to Erhu and the others to spread out and look at the wind.
At night, the lights of the reflections on the surface of the Bianshui River are brilliant, fortunately, the boats are basically docked to rest at night, and the boats in the river are not afraid to see, but there are many people coming and going on the street on the shore, if they make a loud noise, they will inevitably attract people to check.
Xiao Temo took out the dagger in his boots, walked under the old willow, and saw the man's thin face, two black hairs, about thirty years old, his face was full of horror and doubt, and his body trembled slightly.
"Lao Tzu pulled out the grass ball in your mouth, if you dare to shout, Lao Tzu will send you back to the west with a knife, do you hear clearly?" Xiao Temo raised his foot and stepped on the man's crotch, shook the dagger twice in front of the man's eyes, and said viciously.
The man nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of panic.
Xiao Temo nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and pulled out half of the messy grass in his mouth, and after a pause, he saw that the man was really silent, and then he pulled it all out.
"Good man, spare your life, you want money, although you say, I have some money in my arms, but please don't hurt my life."
"It's easy to say, I'm waiting for the heroes of Lutou Mountain just to seek wealth, and my brothers don't have long eyes, but they robbed the official's head, and I was offended." Xiao Temo said with a haha.
"It's not easy for brothers to wander on the rivers and lakes, and brothers are just errand boys, since you guys have taken a fancy to your brothers, what is it for your brothers to make some money; There are more than ten on the body, if it is not enough, the brother goes back to the house to get it. ”
"Hehe, the mouth is very sweet, but you're afraid that you're treating the Lao Tzu as stupid donkeys, let you go back and get the money, and then you bring the officers and soldiers to serve the Lao Tzu in a pot, right?"
"This ...... How dare you, you won't! ”
Xiao Temo slapped the man's eyes with a golden star, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't play tricks, you have always left no living mouth when committing crimes, but you are an official, this time I will make an exception and don't want your life; But after taking the money, the grandfathers are afraid that after you are released, you will report to the official to take us, so you have to tell us, who your surname is, where you live, and which yamen you are in, so that if you play tricks, our brothers in Lutou Mountain will also go and kill your whole family to avenge us. ”
The official hurriedly said: "Never no, the good man puts one hundred and twenty-four hearts, how can he be that kind of person below." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me where your family lives and what kind of official you are."
The man was also refreshed, and said busily: "In Xia Wansong Mountain, I live in Wuqi Temple in Liangmen Corner Tower, and I am currently serving as a supervisor in the Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of War. ”
Xiao Temo was overjoyed, but said quietly on his face: "How to prove it?" ”
The man said: "There is a number plate on the lower waist, engraved with the name and signature of the official, and the hero can see it at a glance." ”
Xiao Temo stretched out his hand and groped around the man's waist, and sure enough, he found a small bamboo plaque, and looked through it carefully by the dim light, only to see that the front side was engraved with the Great Song Dynasty Military Weapons Supervision and Fire Weapons Department, and the reverse side was engraved with the words Wan Songshan.
Xiao Temo was ecstatic in his heart, and pretended to be bland and said: "Firearms Department? It's a new name, I haven't heard of it yet, what is it for? ”
The man opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he said: "Good man, if you wait for money, just take it, and don't ask about things that you shouldn't know, so as not to get angry; Brother won't talk nonsense, if you say it, you will lose your head, and you will lose your head when you hear it. ”
Xiao Temo was stunned for a moment and said: "If you don't say it, you don't say it, you are just curious to ask, who cares about what the Firearms Department does; Brother Wan, offended, the brothers are short of money, and they really need money to spend. ”
Then he stretched out his hand and touched the man's bosom.
