After a few heavy rains, the river swelled, the water flow was rapid, and in the afternoon, the boat of Feng Zhisi and several people had already crossed the border of Yanshi County and arrived in Yongan County. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yong'an is a county specially set aside because of the location of the imperial mausoleum, although the specifications are very high, the scale is very small, only a few hundred households. Except for the people guarding the mausoleum, there are very few households in the county.

When there were still more than ten miles away from the county seat, the boat turned into a river. After walking another three or five miles, I saw a row of large poplar trees on the shore, a few very small boats tied under the trees, and a few thatched huts lined up on the shore.

The boatman who supported the boat said to Feng Absi: "Abshi, it's time to get to the ground, and Song Yuanwai is waiting for you on the shore." ”

Feng Zhisi arched his hand: "Thank you to the boatman, if you have seen the staff, you will definitely be rewarded!" ”

The boatman hurriedly waved his hand: "I have been by the side of the staff for many years, and I have been taken care of, and I will naturally do my best to do what the staff commands." It's all the right thing to do, so why should the priest be polite? ”

While he was talking, the boat reached the foot of the big poplar tree, and a man who steered the boat strode ashore, took a cable and tied it to the poplar tree. The owner of the ship left the rudder and reached out and whistled in his mouth. Before the sentinel fell, there was an echo from the grass hut.

A fat man walked out of the grass hut with a few people, and when he saw Feng Absi standing at the bow of the boat, he laughed loudly: "I heard the magpie screaming endlessly just now, and sure enough, Oshisi has arrived." Song has never been far away, and Al Simo wants to blame! ”

Feng Zhisi sighed and replied on the boat: "I have known each other for many years, so why be polite!" ”

The boat was close to the shore, and Feng Zhisi jumped off the boat with his two men and greeted the Song Yuanwai who came.

Song Yuanwai took Feng Abshi's hand and said, "Oshisi is hard, quickly follow me to the house to rest!" I asked the dealer to kill the chickens and slaughter the sheep, and hold a reception feast for the priest, and I was shocked! ”

Seeing that these two people were so affectionate, the man surnamed Lu and the man surnamed Ding, who were following behind Feng Zhisi, breathed a sigh of relief. I was scared for this day, and I finally survived this time. This Song member is famous far and wide, whether it is in the government or among the heroes on the rivers and lakes, he has countless connections, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky. When you get to him, you'll be safe.

When I arrived at the thatched hut, I saw that several large tables had been set up in the courtyard, on which were placed the whole boiled fat chicken, large pieces of cooked mutton, and a large jar of wine on each table.

Song Yuanwai said to Feng Zhisi: "Brother take a seat, work hard all the way, let my brother toast you!" ”

Feng Zhisi said: "The elder brother is gracious, and the younger brother is heartfelt." The goods on the ship were moved to the yard first. That thing is too dazzling, don't fall into the eyes of outsiders, although my brother is quiet here, it's better to be careful! ”

"Brother is careful, how can you not accept you as an elder brother?" Song Yuanwai said, waving his hand to the Zhuang Ke on the side, "Sons, go and move a few diligent and powerful people to bring in the goods of Brother Feng on the ship!" ”

A few bankers agreed, and seven or eight people walked out, and after a while, they brought in a few boxes.

Song Yuan let go of Feng Zhisi's hand, stepped forward, circled around several white wooden boxes twice, and saw that the boxes were locked, with the seal of Henan Mansion pasted, and the seal of the official mansion. Song Yuanwai patted the box with a pair of big hands, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Brother really has a good means to do this big thing!" Wonderful, wonderful! Come, brother toast a few people with a bowl of wine! ”

After speaking, when he walked to the table, a dealer had already slapped open the wine jar and poured wine into four large bowls.

Feng Zhisi stepped forward with his two subordinates, picked up the bowl, and said to Song Yuanwai: "Thank you brother for your success!" ”

After drinking, Song Yuanwai invited the three of them to sit down, and without using chopsticks, he directly grabbed the fat chicken and mutton in the basin and ate and drank to his heart's content.

What I did today was the sin of killing my head, I was tired, and I was frightened, and the three of Feng Absi were really tired. At this time, I relaxed and drank and ate meat to my heart's content.

The bankers, back and forth, didn't take much time to move all the boxes on the ship into the yard.

Song Yuanwai looked at the pile of boxes, his heart was happy, and he and Feng Zhisi pushed the cup to change the lamp, talking about the recent rumors on the rivers and lakes.

After drinking this wine for half an hour, Feng Zhisi had something in his stomach and his mood calmed down.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, paper can't contain fire after all, Feng Zhisi has been in the yamen for many years, knows the methods of the government, and knows in his heart that it is impossible for the three of them to stay in Henan Mansion anymore. At this time, Longmen Town and Xijing City must have fallen out, Luoyang is an important place in the royal city, more than a dozen people died at a time, and one or two thousand yuan was robbed, and this case will definitely go to the court. In two days, people in Henan Prefecture and even in the surrounding prefectures and counties will go out to look for clues and check everywhere. For this kind of important case, the government will definitely come up with the means of comparing every three days and chasing after it every five days, and if it is not a case, the people who are public officials in the prefecture and county will inevitably be beaten on the buttocks. Even if it was for the sake of his own life, the public servants did not dare not do their best.

The net is about to be cast, and you must escape before you do, or you may never be able to go.

After drinking two more bowls of wine, Feng Zhisi said to Song Yuanwai: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, my brother really thinks about it very much, and I can't wait to live here for a month or two. It's just that the case done this time is too big, and Henan Mansion can't stay anymore, so the three of us brothers must hurry up as soon as possible to go to the outer state army. ”

Song Yuanwai said: "Brother said yes." Have you decided where you're going? ”

"It's not decided yet, everything will be discussed after leaving Henan Mansion. I have good brothers on Hedong Road and Jinghu Road, and I don't know which way I want to go. In addition, I heard that the place where Shaanxi Road meets the party is not very peaceful, and it is the time to employ people. ”

"Okay, okay, when my brother arrives at the ground, I will send a letter to my brother in one place to report his safety, so that my brother will not be worried."

Feng Zhisi didn't have the words to agree, and drank another bowl of wine, and saw that Song Yuan didn't mention the copper coins in the box, so he had to ask: "Brother, we lack some coils on the road, so we will mortgage these copper coins to my brother, how about using them on the road in exchange for some gold and silver?" ”

This was a matter that had been discussed in advance, and Song Yuanwai nodded again and again: "Naturally, it should be so, these copper coins are too heavy, how can you bring them on the road?" Wait a moment, and I will let the little ones take out the gold and silver, so that you can use them on your way. ”

After speaking, he shouted to the Zhuang Ke who was standing on the side: "Go and get some silver taels for Brother Feng, and make coils on the way!" ”

Zhuang Ke agreed, turned around and entered the grass hut.

Feng Zhisi always felt that something was wrong, and Song Yuan didn't count it, how did he know how many silver taels he wanted to exchange for himself?

After a while, two bankers came out of the house, each with a plate in his hand, covered with red silk.

When he arrived at the table, Song Yuanwai instructed Zhuang Ke to uncover the red silk, only to see three ingots of silver on one plate, and three neatly folded new clothes on the other plate.

Feng Zhisi looked at the plate, turned his head to look at Song Yuanwai, and asked in disbelief, "Brother, what does this mean?" ”

Song Yuanwai said loudly: "Our own brothers, these silver taels are taken to the road to be entangled!" Your clothes are not good to wear on your body again, and you will let the little ones boil the soup and change into new clothes before leaving! ”

Feng Zhisi looked at the three ingots of silver on the plate in a daze, he couldn't believe his eyes, and after a long while, he said to Song Yuanwai: "Brother, there are only one hundred and fifty taels of silver in this plate."

Song Yuanwai stretched out his big hand and patted Feng Zhisi on the shoulder: "Our own brothers, why bother about how much?" Fifty taels of silver for one person, you can go anywhere in the world! Whether it's going to Hedong Road, or to Jinghu Road, even Shaanxi Road can also go! ”

Feng Zhusi looked at the two plates and was stunned for a while, the anger in his heart rose, he couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up suddenly, and slapped the table: "Song Jiu, you are clearly trying to bully our brother!" In those boxes, there are a full 1,000 and 4 feet of copper coins, how can you exchange it for more than 1,000 taels of silver, and you will send us away for 150 taels?! ”

Song Yuanwai sighed: "Our brother, how can you say such a thing?" Now in this world, it is not as good as before, and you can't spend copper coins in your hand, but you can't only exchange so much! Now when you do trading outside, you have to go to the money bank to deliver more than ten times, and the money you put at home will be counted in the household, and you will be sued for private collection, and it will be difficult for me! Brother, think about my brother's difficulty, where can you exchange these copper coins for more than a thousand taels of silver now? Thinking of brotherly friendship, I just took it, why are you too much and too little? If you don't want to, just take these copper coins and leave, and my brother will never stop you! ”

Hearing this, Feng Zhisi only trembled with anger, and said coldly: "Song Jiu, how many years have we been friends, and I still don't know your methods?" You took these copper coins, but they were melted down and recast into bronze ware, which is much more expensive than money! I don't want much, as long as I give it to me at half of the market price, five or six hundred taels of silver, and you still have what to earn! ”

"Selling money as a tool is also risking cutting off your head! Brother Oshiji, how many of my sons have to eat, but it's not easy! The silver taels are here, if you want, take them and put on new clothes and leave, we are still good brothers! If you don't want to, brother, I won't break the rules of the heroes, you keep the money, I'll let you live here, and the food and drink are all my brother's. When you want to leave, I'll give you a banquet! How is it? ”

can stay, why did Feng Absi come to beg this land snake? I didn't expect that how many years of friendship was not worth half a point in front of real money, and when I was in trouble, I was ruthlessly pitted by Song Jiu.

Behind him, the two subordinates surnamed Lu and surnamed Ding were flushed, almost spewing fire, and stood up together. Feng Zhisi looked fearless when he saw Song Yuanwai, and stretched out his hand to hold down his two brothers.

There are only three of them, but there are twenty or thirty people here outside Song Yuan, and they are not good people, so they will inevitably suffer if they start. In the morning, they didn't even dare to fight with the people who didn't have the caterpillars, how dare they turn their faces at this time?
