104 Hypocrisy and Grievance
"It turned out to be a sword-forging family in the Yue Kingdom, and there is still this relationship, presumably Brother Zhen fell in love with the Zhang family and wanted to marry her home."
Zhen Mingku smiled a little shyly.
"Hahaha, if you can really get the casting secret recipe of the Yue Kingdom Sword Casting Family, don't talk about a Zhang family, even if you want my woman, I will give it to you without blinking!" Pei Qiantong laughed, he could see that Zhen Mingku's attention to the tofu Shih Tzu was not pretending.
The two talked very happily, as the conversation deepened, Zhen Mingku was a little proudly concealed the configuration method of raw materials when refining alloys, and after the refining was successful, he also smashed the furnace with a hammer, and Liu Wuzhou was so angry that he thundered and said it again, Pei Qiantong laughed again and again, according to the information he had in the past few days, what Zhen Mingku said was confirmed one by one, and he believed in Zhen Mingku's sincerity more and more.
As soon as this meal was eaten, Zhen Mingku had already drunk more than a pound of liquor at this time, his tongue was knotted so drunk, and his speech began to be slurred: "...... The most hateful thing is that Wei Chi Jingde, who clearly said that he would give me five taels of silver in wages, but in the end he only let me do the work of a shopkeeper, if it weren't for my urgent need for money, and I was infected with a bad disease, I wouldn't have endured this evil breath and stayed there, he treated me like this, no wonder I sold the secrets of his mine gang to others, I hate people who are not trustworthy and have no words......
Just as Zhen Ming was chattering, there was a knock on the door.
Pei Qiantong stood up, walked out of the door, and returned to the room after a while, patted the drunk Zhen Mingku's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, according to the report of the spies, it is confirmed that what Brother Zhen said is true, I will send someone to attack the other party's granary tonight, and when I take back the official silver, I will have a drink with Brother Zhen when I come back!" ”
Zhen Mingbitter slapped the table and stood up drunk, but he fell to the ground with his butt, bumped into a few chairs in embarrassment, squinted his drunken eyes, pointed at Pei Qiantong and shouted: "Slow! Gang Master Pei, I also gave you the information you wanted, and you also confirmed the truth of the news, but I haven't seen my woman so far, how do I know that you won't go back on your word like Wei Chi Jingde! ”
Regarding Zhen Mingku's unceremonious words, Pei Qiantong laughed instead of being angry: "Ah, if you don't say it, I forgot, come on, take Brother Zhen to meet his sweetheart!" ”
He glanced at the two men outside the door, and his two men picked up the scolding Zhen Mingqu and walked out of the house.
Zhen Mingku and Pei Qiantong's two subordinates gradually walked away, and a cronie walked up to Pei Qiantong and asked in a low voice: "Helper, isn't that woman going to give it to Lord Feng, why?" ”
The corners of Pei Qiantong's mouth rose slightly: "People must be given to Lord Feng, the question of when to send it, now he is still useful to me, give him a taste of sweetness first, don't worry that he won't give me the alloy secret recipe, today's matter, can't be passed on, find someone to take a good look at him, if this kid is not a clever liar full of nonsense, or a fool who is carried away by beauty, show me it, before he tells me the secret recipe, he can't die." ”
"My subordinates understand."
"Gather two hundred brothers at once and attack the granary of the mine gang at night! This time I'm going to kill Liu Wuzhou, and they will be caught off guard! ”
……
In the blacksmith's shop.
Liu Wuzhou, Wei Chi Jingde and others sat in the hall, listening to the report of Zhen Mingku's whereabouts in the past few days from the spies sent to follow Zhen Mingku.
"You watched him enter the gate of Pei's Mansion with your own eyes?"
"Yes."
Liu Wuzhou's brows tightened together, and he turned his head to look at Wei Chi Jingde on the side: "Wei Chi, with what you know about him, what is he going to Pei Mansion for?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde pondered for a moment and said, "The only thing I know for sure is that he went for that tofu Shih Tzu...... Zhuzi, you have been close to him these days, guess what he is going to do in Pei's Mansion. ”
Since the pillar came back from the Hongxing Courtyard that day, he began to miss the days of mixing with Zhen Mingku, when he heard the news that Zhen Mingku betrayed the mining gang, he was angry but helpless, and he couldn't wait to leave with him, and said with a complaint: "How do I know what he wants to do, I only know that he is a person who values love and righteousness, even if he receives a bowl of soy milk, he is also the kind of person who will reciprocate with springs, and he is resourceful, bold, and a man with clear grievances, and he likes the tofu Shih Tzu so much, and it is me who is replaced by me, will also snatch her back from Pei Qiantong at all costs. ”
Except for Liu Wuzhou and a few other people who didn't know much about the relationship between Zhu Zi and Zhen Mingku, everyone else was stunned and looked at each other, they all knew that Zhu Zi had always liked to make things difficult and Zhen Mingku, and they couldn't understand that they had said such a bunch of good things for him for the first time today.
The burly man beside Liu Ermei's face was a little ugly, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists.
Liu Ermei glanced at him, and said mockingly: "It seems that someone heard that other men did not hesitate to go deep into the tiger's den in order to save her, and they were also ready to move, wanting to compete with him?" ”
"Second sister, you're here again, hey......"
Just when a group of people speculated about the intention of Zhen Mingku's move, there was a knock on the door from the gate of the courtyard.
The pillar stood up and walked out of the courtyard, but there was no one at the door, only a carriage that was rapidly moving away disappeared around the corner.
There was a white letterhead on the ground.
Zhu Zi picked up the letterhead in confusion, glanced at it casually, suddenly his face changed greatly, and his sleepiness was gone, and he staggered around and ran towards the backyard of the blacksmith shop, almost falling off the stone steps of the yard, and shouted in a panic as he ran: "Brother Wei Chi, it's not good!" ”
……
Holding the letterhead in his hand, Liu Wuzhou's brows furrowed deeply.
Liu Ermei, Wei Chi Jingde and others sat down in turn, looking at Liu Wuzhou with a nervous expression.
"Brother, what did you say in the letter?"
Liu Wuzhou had a gloomy face: "It was sent by Zhen Mingku, saying that the mining gang repeatedly and repeatedly did not preach morality, and attacked him first, no wonder he was unkind, saying that it was tonight, and he would make us pay the price." ”
Liu Ermei said with a disdainful face: "Don't be ashamed! What can he do to us alone? ”
Liu Wuzhou and Wei Chi Jingde had an ominous premonition at the same time, and glanced at each other, "Could it be?" ”
The two of them suddenly changed their faces and stood up suddenly, "Granary!" ”
……
Pei Qiantong's subordinates came to the door of a house in the west of Pei Mansion with a drunken Zhen Mingbitter.
A guard at the door was dozing off, and when he heard the movement, he woke up suddenly.
"Master Pei has an order, open the door!"
The guard hurriedly opened the door, and Pei Qiantong's two subordinates put Zhen Mingkuan into the room, placed him on a chair in the hall of the house, and turned to leave.
The door slammed shut.
"These two people have shown me a good look, Master Pei instructed, he can only stay in the house and can't go out, so no matter what the other party says to you, you can't open the door for him, and wait until tomorrow to identify friends and enemies, and then let him out."
"The little one understands."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Zhen Mingku suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He glanced around, and although it was a guest room, the furniture in the room was all expensive mahogany furniture, and there were various jade ornaments and porcelain on the shelves.
On the walls hang a landscape pastel scroll, all of which are stamped with the connoisseurship seals of various famous artists, and there is no doubt that any one here can be sold for a few hundred taels of silver.
On one side of the hall, a room is separated by a screen ornament.
Through the gap between the screen fans, a carved phoenix wood bed can be faintly seen behind the screen, and a woman is lying on the bed, although her body is covered with a satin quilt, but it is still difficult to hide her exquisite and graceful figure.
The woman lay there motionless, as if she had fallen asleep.
He staggered to his feet, and after several falls, finally stood firm.
More than a pound of liquor, no matter how good he is, it is difficult to maintain a sense of balance, he usually does not drink, this time he is really a little drunk.
