Chapter 12: Flickering

Cheng Xiaolian, who had nowhere to go, returned to Zhu Fu's house, and it seemed that Zhu Fu also knew the news that he was accepted as an entourage by the young master, with a smug smile on his face: "I'll just say that you kid is not simple, how about it, one step to the sky, my vision is not bad, haha!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian had already thought about it before entering the courtyard, and he definitely couldn't tell Zhu Fu about it, he would definitely not be able to help, so he could only worry in vain, so he smiled all over his face: "Uncle Fu, you don't have to say this vision, come and come." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out ten taels of silver: "This is what the young master rewarded me today, you take it to buy wine to drink, tomorrow I will go out to do something, and when I come back, I will bring you two jars of good wine." ”

", Uncle Fu has silver, use your silver to make a fart, take it yourself, and go back to build a new house to ask for a wife, it is not in vain to waste your family's hard work. I can't spend my own money, come here, today I specially asked someone to bring a roast chicken from outside, we have to drink some. ”

"Of course, you have to drink some, but Uncle Fu, you see that I am young, I spend a lot of money, the silver is in my hands, and I will definitely spend nothing in three or five days, so you should help me save it."

"Okay, good, people can't show off their rewards and hatreds everywhere, you're good, you know how to save it, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a thirteen-year-old child."

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I'm twenty-three years old this year."

Zhu Fu slapped him on the head: "Don't talk nonsense with me, hurry up, the dishes will be cold in a while." ”

Zhu Fu drank this wine very happily, and he got drunk after a while, Cheng Xiaolian had something in his heart, helped Zhu Fu to lie on the bed, and returned to his bed board but couldn't sleep, if he didn't refuse the young master today, I was afraid that he would follow the young master to the Qinglou now.

But it's also boring to think about, it's all Qing Dynasty, the little ink in my stomach, Li Bai's poems can't be memorized, and I can't be coquettish when I go.

Yin Shizuo can't take it for himself, he can't follow and bully those girls, it's quite tasteless to think about, so he resolutely decided to reject Zhu Shaoxiong's olive branch, and today he can save a small life, or Zhu Shaoxiong's Confucian consciousness in his bones, deep down he probably refuses to use power to bully poor people, and wants to solve disobedient people through wisdom.

That's why I had this bad idea, let Cheng Xiaolian go to Wu Sangui's son-in-law's mouth to grab food, and then borrow a knife to kill people. This not only punishes those who do not obey, but also shows one's own wisdom.

If Cheng Xiaolian is not mistaken, Wu Sangui's son-in-law is called Hu Guozhu, his ability is not high but he is very cruel, even if he shows a little talent that is different from ordinary people, it is useless, this person has no good impression of Zhu Guozhi, and later personally came to the door to kill Zhu Guozhi, and he is definitely one of the few tyrannical figures in Wu Sangui's camp.

Now that he has to face him, Cheng Xiaolian has no bottom in his heart, so he can only take one step at a time, do his best, and obey the fate of God, if God lets him die here without a name like this, he will have nothing to do.

Early the next morning, he packed up the futon early, and Zhu Fu sighed behind his back: "Little San, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Of course there is something, today the young master gave me a job and asked me to do it, saying that there is a reward for doing a good job, but I won't tell you about this job first, waiting to give you a surprise." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you, but it's okay to work, you have to remember, don't bully your subordinates, your position is unstable now, in case you offend your subordinates, if you fall down one day, you won't be able to escape this catastrophe!"

"Uncle Fu, don't worry, you look at me like this, do you look like a villain who bullies people, I'll leave first, you wait for me to bring you wine back!"

said that he hurriedly went out, and there were already five servants waiting at the gate of the courtyard: "Third master, young master let us listen to your orders today." ”

Although the words were good words, with the fierce faces of several people, coupled with the unkind tone, Cheng Xiaolian immediately understood what these people were here for.

Thinking of this, he snorted in his heart, I used to be familiar with Wei Xiaobao's story, and fooling a few of you is not the same as playing.

As he spoke, he followed them outside, and just after walking a few steps out of the mansion, he coughed and immediately began to say, "Several, do you know what we are going to do today?" ”

The leader sneered: "The fourth master explained last night, leading you to collect the rent, if you receive the rent, it is good, even if you can't receive it, I can't let you run away." ”

"Look, I knew that the kid in the fourth year didn't tell you the truth."

The man in the lead pouted disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense, we know that you are a death today, if you want to have a good meal, we will accompany you, but if you dare not go, we can't explain." ”

"Hmph, do you know whose rent I'm going to collect?"

"What do you do with who's rent, anyway, the fourth master said, if you go today, you will die somewhere!"

"The person I'm going to collect rent is Wu Sangui's son-in-law, Hu Guozhu!"

A few people gasped, this Hu Guozhu is famous in the mansion, and there are more than ten lives in the mansion that are folded in his hands alone, not to mention breaking his legs, it can be said that his hands are stained with blood in the governor's mansion.

Cheng Xiaolian struck while the iron was hot, and laughed: "You know, I will probably be killed in a while, but can you get out of the way?" If he doesn't cut off your heads, how can he make an example of chickens and monkeys? Do you know what it means to kill chickens and monkeys? It is to take your head and tell all the people in the house that the next time you come back, no one will be able to go back alive! ”

Although several people looked fierce and vicious, Hu Guozhu was famous, and immediately softened: "Third master, it's not our brother who wants to harm you, it's just that the young master ordered it down, if we don't do it, it will be difficult to escape the starvation of the whole family, you have a flexible head and give us an idea." ”

"Hehe, do you really want me to save you?"

"Of course, as long as we can save this little life, we will be the first to look forward to the third master in the future! But the third master, let's talk about it, if you mention the conditions for running, don't talk about it, a few of us are good to run, but the wives and children at home are all finished! ”

"Don't worry, you will listen to me for a while, look at my eyes and act, as long as you are obedient, you will be fine."

Several people thought the same thing in their hearts, since Yuan Xiaosan was able to leap from a toilet brush to the young master's entourage, he must have extraordinary skills, and now there is no better way, he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, as long as he can save his life, everything else is easy to say.

Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "If you don't want to, then I didn't say it, anyway, my life is gone, and it doesn't seem lonely to have a few of you as companions on Huangquan Road!" ”
