After the three of them returned to the old Gu family's shop, there were more than a dozen tables of wine and food in the lobby, and the shopkeeper of the Gu family's old store was the housekeeper of the Five Tigers Villa. At this time, seeing Yu Changchang leading Li Qiufeng and Yan Du into the lobby, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "The three guest officers are invited to the table, everyone is waiting." ”

Yu Changchang nodded, and went straight to the main seat of the middle table and sat down. The shopkeeper put Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei in their seats. In addition to the five owners of Wuhu Villa, this table is Li Qiufeng, Yan Dufei and Xu Yingyang. The rest of the tables were all Zhuang Ding of the Five Tigers Mountain Plan, and many of them had bulging pockets around their waists, obviously hiding hidden blades and hidden weapons.

Xu Yingyang glanced at Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei, and said, "These two benevolent brothers are very good-eyed, can Master Yu introduce me?"

Yu Changchang said: "These are my two good friends on the rivers and lakes, and they are also the helpers of the old man's trip, and Lord Xu needs to take care of them." ”

He has made up his mind to have a showdown with Xu Yingyang, and he is no longer polite in words. The word "villain" was never mentioned again, and he was called "old man".

Xu Yingyang pondered for a moment and said, "Please ask the two high surnames?"

Yu Changchang said: "These two friends are also well-known figures in the rivers and lakes. One surnamed Li and the other surnamed Yan, have you heard of Lord Xu?"

Xu Yingyang said: "A few days ago, a felony escaped from the edict prison, and the person who helped him escape was a hundred households of Jinyiwei. One of these two people is surnamed Yan and the other is surnamed Li, which is somewhat similar to these two brothers. I wonder if Master Yu has seen those two people?"

Yu Changchang snorted and said, "It's hard to say this." If the old man said that he had seen it, Lord Xu would definitely let the old man hand over it, and if the old man said that he had not seen it, Lord Xu would probably not believe it, which made the old man embarrassed. In this case, Lord Xu might as well help the old man come up with an idea, how to deal with this matter?"

Xu Yingyang said with a smile: "I am an outsider, how can I make the decision for the owner of the Yu village? The owner of the Yu village should discuss it with the four owners and then make a decision." ”

Yu Changchang shook his head and said: "The five of us advance and retreat together, the old man's idea is the idea of the four brothers." They also want to hear what Master Xu has to say!"

Xu Yingyang smiled slightly and said, "What does Master Yu mean is that if what I say is not in line with Lord Yu's wishes, will the five owners join forces to deal with me?"

Yu Changchang said: "The word 'deal with', the old man has never thought of it. Lord Xu is an official, the old man is a people, since ancient times, the people do not fight with officials, our five brothers are begging for food in the capital, and there are many places to borrow Lord Xu, how can we be disrespectful to Lord Xu?"

Xu Yingyang said: "Then I want to ask Master Yu Zhuang, who are those two felons from Master Yu Zhuang?"

"Friend, no, we can be regarded as brothers now!" Yu Changchang said in a deep voice.

Xu Yingyang nodded, glanced at Zhuang Hengyun again, and said, "All the owners and Yu Zhuang owners are all the same idea, right?"

Zhuang Hengyun and the others were swept away by his gaze, and involuntarily lowered their heads.

Li Qiufeng and Xu Yingyang met their eyes, and their hearts couldn't help but be stunned. He has no friendship with Xu Yingyang, and he has no contact on weekdays, but he has only met a few times when he is on duty. At this time, seeing that Xu Yingyang did not have hostility in his eyes, he was a little uneasy.

Xu Yingyang glanced at Yan Dufei again and said, "Master Yu's righteousness of sticking a knife in his friend's ribs, Xu admires it very much. It's just that Xu is in charge of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division, and he is ordered by the emperor to arrest felons, so dare not do his best?"

When he said this, everyone in the Five Tiger Villa was secretly on guard, and some people involuntarily went to their waists to hold the blades.

I only heard Xu Yingyang continue: "It's just that before I did this trip, Lord Yun said first, Master Yu Zhuang is a person who has made great contributions to the country, and he will definitely not do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so I want to act at the opportunity and listen to the opinions of Lord Yu Zhuang." ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Changchang looked happy and said: "Lord Yun's words are serious, although the old man is in the rivers and lakes, he will never forget the grace of Lord Yun. ”

Xu Yingyang said: "This time, I rushed to Shandong with the owner of Yu Zhuang to arrest the fugitives, which is not something I have to take care of. If this trip is successful, after I return to Beijing, I will report to Lord Yun, and maybe there will be a turnaround at that time. ”

Yu Changchang was overjoyed, stood up and picked up the wine glass and said: "Since Lord Xu said so, then we are all scattered with clouds in the sky! Our Wuhu Villa is close to the big tree to enjoy the shade, and in the future, Lord Yun and Lord Xu will be the first to look forward." Come, let's all have a drink!"

Li Qiufeng listened to Xu Yingyang's eloquent words, and actually said that as long as things are done beautifully, he will no longer pursue the serious crimes committed by himself and Yan Dufei. He has been on an errand in Jinyiwei for a long time, and he doesn't believe Xu Yingyang's words. It's just that of course he can't turn his face now, so he also stood up with Zhuang Hengyun and others, and raised his wine glass to toast Xu Yingyang.

Xu Yingyang also stood up and said: "You are heroes in the rivers and lakes, and I have always admired them very much. There are a lot of places to use everyone on this errand, so please take care of you then!"

After he said that, he picked up the wine glass and touched it slightly on his mouth, Yu Changchang and the others didn't care, they applauded, and drank the wine cleanly.

Yu Changchang said: "All the brothers here today are friends in distress, and the old man might as well speak up." We're here to do a big thing. Since Lord Xu agreed to help, that is the best thing. The old man made an oath to everyone here, if this matter is done, everyone will no longer have to lick blood on the knife, if you want to be an official, you can buy an official to do, if you want to be a rich man, go home to buy land and land, and ensure that your children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes!"

All the villagers in the Five Tiger Villa cheered in unison, and some people even took advantage of the chaos to shout: "I want a woman!"

Yu Changchang said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when you see a woman, you'll be scared to death, and you won't be able to run!"

Everyone laughed, these people were originally Jianghu men, with a rough temperament, and when they saw that the owner of the village also put down his face to laugh today, he had no scruples.

Yu Changchang drank two glasses of wine, and said to Xu Ying with a smile: "Lord Xu, my brothers are all heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they don't know any red tape, so I taught Lord Xu to laugh." ”

Xu Ying said: "People in the rivers and lakes should be like this, not as slippery as people in the officialdom, I am quite envious." ”

At this moment, a loud "click" was suddenly heard, and a large hole was knocked open in the door of the store, and a Zhuang Ding who was guarding the door flew in from the hole and fell heavily to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a gong-like voice came from outside the store and said: "Damn, when did the Gu family's old store change owners?

Two Zhuang Ding rushed forward to help the companion who fell to the ground up, only to see that the Zhuang Ding vomited blood from his mouth, and the injury was really not light. Zhou Jingtian rushed forward and said, "Help him to the back for treatment." ”

With a bang, the doors of the two shops were kicked open, and a group of people rushed in, each armed with a blade. The leader said, "Where is Gu Changbo, the turtle grandson?"

As soon as Li Qiufeng saw this person, he immediately recognized him as the leader of the Shahe Gang, thinking that he was going to the Gu family's old store to find trouble with the girl of the Murong family, but he was stopped by Zhuang Ding of Wuhu Villa in front of the store, so he hurt people.

At this time, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Boss Gu has already given the store to the villain, and he went back to his hometown a few days ago." ”

The gang leader took a sip and said, "Lao Gu still owes me 10,000 taels of silver." Now that he's gone, the account will fall on you. ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but glance back at Yu Changyuan, Yu Changchang nodded, and then he turned back to the gang leader and said, "Boss Gu didn't explain this matter when he left, does this guy have an IOU?"

The gang leader smiled and said, "You dare to ask me for an IOU?" After that, he turned back to the Shahe Gang behind him and said, "Brothers, did you hear that this old boy actually asked us for an IOU?!"

The Sand River Gang laughed, and it seemed that they had never heard such a funny joke.

The gang leader said proudly: "You kid listen to grandpa! The three words of the Shahe Gang are IOUs!" After speaking, he waved the steel knife in his hand and said: "This steel knife in grandpa's hand is a guarantor!"

The shopkeeper exclaimed, "You, aren't you a thief?"

The gang leader laughed and said, "That's not right, we're just here to collect debts, but we don't dare to rob them!" Also, is there a boy in his twenties who lives in your shop with a woman? Call him out for me, and my grandfather will be happy, and maybe he will exempt you from the interest of a thousand taels of silver. ”

At this time, I only heard someone say: "Zhan Gang Master, you owe me 100,000 taels of silver, and you should pay it back today!"
