Chapter 2

Daming Rule: When the injured person beats someone, the whip is at a slightest, and the skeleton is at a serious rate... I was catchy, and everyone was proud and agreed with him.

The girl was stunned at first, then her eyebrows were raised and her eyes widened, and she pointed at me and scolded: What a little thief, you are still a scholar, why don’t you even have any integrity! She was about to rush forward to hit me, but her brother grabbed me. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and kept muttering: I’m so blind!

But I changed the subject and said: However, in our dynasty, the most important thing about women's reputation, and those who fight violence and cause death to others will not only not blame their crimes, but will instead show their chastity before the Wuhe Sun family resisted humiliation and killed their stepmother and son Li Zhou'er and was praised by the government for their chastity. Later...

real?

The girl immediately smiled and asked before I could finish her words. Seeing me nodding, she suddenly moved, and walked around the two people in front of her like a butterfly, came to Du Laosi, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed her in the chest.

But with a sound of hearing, a steel pipe pot suddenly appeared on Du Laosi's chest, hitting the blade of the dagger. The girl was shocked and tilted her body. She staggered for several steps before she stood firm. She couldn't help but glared at Heberquan and said: Hooligan! Protecting a gangster, old man, you are an old hooligan!

The beauty was angry and had a kind of charm. The group of men pointing at me and cursing stopped and staring at the girl blankly

But Hebdo Quan turned a deaf ear, slowly lit his cigarette pipe, took a few slaps, glanced at me again, then turned his head and whispered a few times with the rich businessman, just saying that the brother and sister looked like the children of wealthy families. If they really entered the government, they would not be sure who would win or lose. I think he was unwilling to deal with the government, so he tried his best to lobby the rich businessman to stop.

The rich businessman's face was gloomy and he didn't speak for a long time. Hebrew Quan seemed helpless and whispered: The people here are complicated and inconvenient. If Mr. Hong likes that girl, I secretly got it for you without knowing it. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

The rich businessman, Hong Gong, then his face cleared a little, smiled at everyone: Son, don't be unable to get along with a girl's house, as if the people in our capital are useless, you'll lose more! Take out a silver note from your arms and hand it over to the young man beside him and said: Go, let's shock the girl. After that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The guys surrounding the brother and sister waited for some reason. They suddenly stopped. They looked at each other, but they didn't dare to take action anymore. They followed him in disappointment.

The girl took the silver note, but didn't even look at it, and handed it to the boss casually. Her eyes swept around my face, and a hint of naughtyness gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth. She bent her eyebrows and said with a smile: You scholar are not brave enough, you are not a little braver.

You're so brave!

Although this girl is beautiful, since I heard the conversation between Baoting and Jie Yu, I have become secretly alert and must not easily provoke love debts.

Zhuyuan is still harmonious at the moment because I devote my feelings to every woman in the room without reservation, but there is inevitably a difference between importance and thickness in my heart. Once the boudoir complaints arise, the whole family will not be at peace.

What's more, after seeing the ways of doing this brother and sister, even if I was in a state of desire, I knew that once this girl was touched, she would probably not be able to get rid of her. Instead, it was better than Lan Yatou, a small jade family, who was more suitable for a night of fun. I left without pulling my legs, just because I didn't want to see Herb Quan fall into prison for this girl, and then alarmed the snake, scaring away Song Tingzhi and Hua Qingshan.

But I am used to being a traitor, and I am alert in my heart, but I am subconsciously becoming flirtatious.

I had already said that, so naturally there was no reason to regret it. When I saw the old man looking at me thoughtfully, I simply pretended to be the end, and my thief eyes were circling on the girl.

The girl's eyes lit up, but she raised her face and said: You are still a juren, why are you so frivolous?! No wonder you failed! But there was a smile in her eyes

The tall scholar showed a look of hesitation, glared at me, and said in a deep voice to the girl: Have you had enough trouble, why don’t you leave now!

The girl twisted her waist and said unhappily: Why are you in a hurry? I want to take a break!

The scholar was stunned: Didn’t you be in a hurry to go?

Then...I don't want to see him now, okay? The girl pouted and shouted.

The brother and sister started arguing, but I pulled the boss and asked about Mr. Hong, and quickly figured out his details.

This Hong Master’s real name is Hong Qifa. He is a famous local snake in Fanzi Hutong. He opened a carriage store and called Tongda. He almost handled the freight in Fanzi Hutong. He was only responsible for transporting the goods into and out of the capital, and he ignored anything else.

It is said that he bribed the Tax Department and the girl married Liao Xi, the commander of the Xicheng Military Affairs Office, as a concubine. There are always troubles in other carriage shops entering and leaving the city gates, but he can keep his reputation all the way. Although the price is a bit expensive, the merchants took his freight business and gradually monopolized the freight business of Fanzi Hutong.

The boss also said that although Hong Qifa was greedy and lustful, he was not a person who was too rude. Du Laosi was similar to Gao Qi back then, and he was also a gangster who made a living in a brothel and gambling house.

Seeing that the pretty girl Lan was still virgin, I couldn't help but believe the boss's words a little more, glanced at the girl, thinking that without her unscrupulous teasing, Hong Qifa and Du Laosi would probably not have come to provoke her!

The girl was looking at me, and when she met my gaze, she smiled, walked up to me quickly, tilted her head and said: You seem to be very idle, why not accompany me to visit the capital!

This is not possible. My own life is important. I will refuse to go shopping with you immediately. In addition to the size of a palm around Fengsheng Hutong, I was blinded by the capital city, and I didn’t even know where the gate of the palace was opened. Wouldn’t you immediately see the flaw? I am not a candidate who has been in Beijing for nearly half a year?

The girl frowned: Hey? Why are you scared again? Besides, the kingly law is gone in the capital!

I'm not afraid of those gangsters. I said seriously: As the saying goes, "Suixiang can be eaten." You are born with a beautiful and beautiful country. Just looking at you, I will be full. Over time, I will not be able to eat or think about it. Wouldn't you starve to death?

You scholar are interesting. The girl burst out laughing and actually came up to hold my sleeve and shook it and said, "I don't care, it's you."

I am the leader of the flower class, and I couldn't help but be shocked. I met the lady of my family, and there were countless jades in my family. Only Wu Wu was so bold. And when I met her, she had already become famous. I didn't expect that the girl in front of me was so unconventional. Looking at the pretty face, it was clearly full of innocence, but I could see the pair of straight and straight peaks that were rising and falling with my breathing. I couldn't help but feel excited and didn't break free from her hand, just looking at her with a smile.

Seeing this, the scholar said to me with a frightened face: My sister is young and ignorant, but why are you a scholar so unreasonable?! As he said that, he put the folding fan together and quickly pointed at the big acupoint on my left shoulder and shoulder well. Judging from the situation, if he hit it, he would be unable to move for at least ten days and half a month.

Who is young and ignorant?

The girl turned her head and turned her back, and immediately cut off the folding fan, just clicked on her brother's folding fan, and cut it off!

The scholar had only had time to raise his hand to avoid the sharp blade, but his sleeve was cut off.

Seeing that I won’t tell my father... Dad! The scholar was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn’t do anything to his sister. He turned to me and asked viciously: May I ask, sir, the name of the surname?

Why do you want to tell you! The girl refused for me and said angrily: If you tell your father, then you might as well tell me the good things about you in Baihualou!

How did you know? The scholar was surprised and asked, but as soon as he spoke, he realized something was wrong and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Humph, if you don't know, unless you don't want to do it, the girl seems to think she is too much. Although it is a sarcasm, her voice is much lighter

But my heart suddenly moved: It turned out that he was the one who deflowered Bai Mudan last night! I couldn't help but look at the scholar carefully.

I, who is familiar with the moon, knows how difficult it is to get a famous prostitute's first night. I think how much effort I spent on Su Jin back then! Although he is a handsome man, there are many talents in the capital, how could there be such a person missing? Without a special background, it would be difficult for a scholar who has just arrived in the capital to gain the favor of a beauty!

Brothers and sisters of some origins are not such a coincidence...

I was pondering in my heart, but I heard Old Man Shao laugh twice and said to the scholar: Wen is the voice of his heart. Although the young man speaks frivolously, he may not be able to act for no reason. Besides, let me have a plan to protect myself, why should I worry about it?

The scholar and I were both surprised. We didn't understand what the old man meant. The girl nodded in praise, turned her pupils lightly, and put a smile close to my eyes, and said as if she was angry: Young Master Gao's name? The sweet and crisp voice was naturally very different from her brother's threatening tone.

...Li Tong I hesitated for a moment, but I still called him a pseudonym. Of course, Li Tong's Lu Yin was in his arms, and he was not afraid that others would doubt my identity. He immediately asked: What about... what about the girl?

How can I just ask a girl's name? The girl smiled with a smile

I'm asking for advice very seriously! I said casually

Hey, that girl will tell you very seriously, my name is kept secret! She smiled sly: But my brother, others call him Mr. Zhao

Mr. Zhao? King Zhao Chongyao? Then should I call you Princess Ning Xin?

I couldn't help but feel helpless. I couldn't help but think that the brother and sister were the two daughters of King Dai, King Zhao Chongyao and Princess Ning Xin, and the place they were going to was probably the Bai Mansion not far ahead.

He glanced at the girl and secretly had a headache. If he was really attracted by this crazy girl, he really didn't know what she would do!

I quickly thought about it. If I attracted her with Li Tong's identity, would she let her forget the Wang Dong she had never met, so that I could successfully achieve my mission to come to Beijing, and then escape and leave?

Anyway, Datong is thousands of miles apart in the south of the Yangtze River. It is probably not that easy to find a fictitious person even the Dai Prince’s Mansion!

But if the old man was really Shao Yuanjie, everything would be free from talking. I subconsciously glanced at the old man. He had already met the boss and was about to leave. When he saw me looking at him, he nodded with a smile, then turned around and walked out of the yard.

Brother Zhao! I was determined to bet, withdrew my gaze, and bowed to the scholar and said: I may have offended my words just now, so Brother Zhao is not a common man, a man of a unique character, but he is also a person with a temperament, and he does not care about slander and criticize him. He is also a foreigner, so why not make friends?

The scholar snorted contemptuously, but the girl gave me a blank look and said dissatisfiedly: Why do you want to apologize to him?

He is your brother! I smiled and lowered my voice: Maybe I will become my elder brother-in-law. If you don’t get close to him now, why don’t you cause trouble for me in the future?

Before the girl got angry, I secretly pointed at Old Man Shao who was picking out the curtain: We have time to see the scenery in the capital, but now an interesting thing should not be missed. Have you seen that old man?

The girl's curiosity was immediately aroused, and even the scholar subconsciously looked out of the courtyard.

The girl frowned slightly and said in confusion: He? What's wrong?

The girl has practiced swordsmanship and should know that there is a sword immortal in the world. She kills one person with ten steps and does not leave a thousand miles away. This old man is a sword immortal born!

Ah?! The girl suddenly widened her eyes and wanted to rush over, but I grabbed it. The thin summer cloth could not cover the roundness of the lotus arms, which made me hesitate for a while before letting go, explaining: If you ask him so recklessly, how could he admit it? Of course, you have to secretly find his residence and find out what it is!

This is also true, how do you know that he is a sword fairy? The girl turned her head and asked in surprise.

The law does not pass on Liu'er. I leaned closer to the girl. She was only two fingers shorter than me. I didn't even have to owe her waist. Her smooth and fair cheeks were close to her eyes, and the faint fragrance emitted from her collar was even more familiar. After a moment of thinking, I knew that this was the smell of the best perfume in Tongxintang, which Liu Niang used.

Look at that old man, he is incompatible with the cold and heat, and he clearly has excellent internal skills.

The girl was thinking, but the scholar was stunned when he heard this and asked in a deep voice: How can you know such a thing in the world in one fell swoop?

I smiled slightly: Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and concern for everything are my true nature of scholars. The world is a corner of the country. I know it clearly, what's the point!

Then why don't we follow us quickly? The girl said anxiously

If the girl goes out like this, it would be strange if she doesn't follow a group of disciples behind her. Not to mention the sword immortal, even a deaf and mute person can see the problem from other people's eyes.

Then... what do you think? The girl held back her laughter, but her eyebrows and eyes were bent

It is naturally the most convenient way to disguise yourself easily, but in this way, I'm afraid the siblings will be more suspicious. Of course, it is also a good way to let her change into men's clothing, but she always has to tell her about it.

So I didn't answer, but called Lan Yatou. In the girl's confused gaze, I began to ask her about Old Man Shao.

Of course Grandpa Shao is not a local! Lan Yatou said indifferently. Perhaps in her heart, she clearly carved the graceful manner of my use of the Unmoved King's Mind Method, which made her subconsciously unreserved from me.

Well... it was about a year ago, yes, it was also a hot afternoon. Grandpa Shao was pulled into the shop by me. From then on, he came to my house to sit every two or three days, drinking sour plum soup in summer and eating mutton-chopped hotpot in winter. These are all my specialties!

Lan Yatou's voice was a little proud, and her big eyes looked at me with hot eyes: Big brother, can you... Can you still come in winter? You can eat my mutton hotpot in winter.

I don't know...

Lan Yatou's words aroused my homesickness. In winter, the bamboo garden will also set up a elixir and make a steaming pot of Bazhen hot pot. Everyone sat around, unrestrained and happy, but it depends on the emperor's current posture. I really don't know when I will return to the south of the Yangtze River that I dream of!

Where did Old Man Shao live? The girl asked

Lan Yatou shook her head absent-mindedly, but encouraged me: Big brother, are you leaving the capital? Isn’t it good to have a capital? I heard from Grandpa Shao that you have written your article well, and many wealthy families in the city want to ask for a teacher!

Maybe I remembered that I didn’t look like a person who was short of money, so I quickly changed my words: There are also many scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam and lived in Beijing for several years. Someone rented a house near my house for them. My father also said that the empty house in my backyard should be tenant.

My heart suddenly moved, yes, living in Bai Lan is really restrained, and Yilun's attitude is quite ambiguous. After a long time, nothing will happen. Besides, once I take over Bai Lan's position, I will naturally report my job in Beijing. It is probably inappropriate to live in other people's houses. It would be better to buy a house in Beijing, which is convenient for you and others, and also to make the emperor feel at ease.

The girl was a little unhappy when she heard that Lan Yatou was talking enthusiastically. When she saw me pondering, she seemed to be moved. She frowned and her face changed a few times. She was about to speak, but she saw me winked at her and then suppressed her temperament and listened to me: Miss Lan, the place I live now is still quiet, but the owner of the house is from the south. I don’t know when he will leave the capital. You will find a place to stay for me at that time!

Then let my dad keep the house for you. Lan Yatou is happy to see her.

It's okay, I was so lustful that I nodded and said, took out more than a dozen taels of silver and handed it to her, and said with a smile: If I haven't moved in within three months, I'll ask your father to find another guest.

How could I use so much money? Lan Yatou hurriedly refused, and I stuffed the money into her hand: If I live here, I will naturally have dinner at your house. Don’t you want to look at me more?

Who is facing you?! Lan Yatou suddenly turned red and said angrily, but the silver was tightly held in her hand at this moment, as if only this silver could connect me and her

However, Miss Lan and Fanzi Hutong are convenient to live here, but it is not a good place to study. Are there any quiet Buddhist temples and Taoist temples nearby? I also have to go there to read books during the day. I smiled myself and said: I feel ashamed to say that I have been to Beijing for several months, but I have to study hard before the exam. I failed and saw people without seeing each other. I don’t know what scenery there is around me!

Why didn't there be? Two streets away from here, there is the famous Taoist temple in the city, called...it's... Lan Yatou couldn't remember the name of the Taoist temple for a moment, and her eyes turned red with anxiety

But the Palace of Epiphany?

Yes, it’s the Palace of Exhibits! The girl was relieved, but asked in surprise: Hey, brother, how do you know?

I just heard someone talk about it, but I didn't know it was so close to it. I already felt in my heart that this old man Shao is probably Shao Yuanjie who lives in the Xianling Palace.

The scholar originally looked like he was about to watch me have a good show, but when he heard the three words "Expression Palace", his eyes tightened, and he seemed to remember something, and his face gradually became solemn.

Listening to Lan Yatou and I talking about Fanzi Hutong in a mixed manner, he interrupted the conversation between the two impatiently, and sent Lan Yatou away, saying: Brother Li, since you are interested in checking Mr. Shao’s background, why are you still moving? Do you know where he is?

The girl echoed, but when she heard the name in her brother's words, she suddenly became respectful, but she was confused for a moment and looked at her brother in surprise.

This is the first time I have seen Mr. Shao. How could I know his residence? However, if I don’t know, it doesn’t mean I can’t guess that Mr. Shao has been to Beijing for a year. Hong Qifa, a local snake in Fanzi Hutong, doesn’t know him very well. Obviously, he is not a merchant who comes to Beijing for business. Miss Zhao, don’t laugh. Sword Immortal is also skin and flesh and blood, and he also needs to make money to eat. The many times he comes here means that he lives near and usually lives in a place for a long time. The possibility of living in an inn is not high. He lives at the homes of relatives and friends. Lan Yatou didn’t see anyone he brought. It can be seen that he is alone in Beijing. This is very likely to be staying in the surrounding Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

The girl suddenly realized and said with a smile: No wonder you asked about the Exhibition Palace, does this old man Shao live there?

Do you have to see it before you know that it is just that my daughter is in and out of Taoist temples, afraid of...

The girl's eyes turned and her eyes turned to the scholar: Brother, go buy me a piece of clothing!
