Views:

Although the helmsman in front of him occasionally showed a gentle smile and was harmless to humans and animals, Ming Xu was quite in awe of this helmsman, he was able to let go of his body, and was willing to disguise himself as a clown for a Miss Xiao, and carried a big wooden box regardless of his identity , Mingxu felt that the new helmsman was a person who could bend and stretch, such a person would always be able to accomplish great things.

Xue Poye cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "Okay, you have also seen that my restaurant is full of people coming and going every day, and there is a constant flow of customers. It is a place with a good flow of people. From tomorrow onwards, you can set up a booth next to the restaurant."

Mingxu opened his mouth, stared blankly at Xue Poye, unable to speak.

"Since you are my subordinate, I will provide you with tables and chairs, and I can even provide billboards, which say "helping the world and saving people". On the billboard, all the income will be handed over to me for safekeeping after the stall at night, and I will hand it over to the sub-helm." Xue Poye picked a toothpick and said: "Since you have superb medical skills, you always want to benefit the common people. , not only can solve difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but also increase the financial income of the club, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, it is so close that I can call you at any time if there is anything, and you can be loyal to me. Mingxu, what do you think? Ah?" He added in a low voice: "This is an order I gave to my subordinates as the rudder master."

Mingxu immediately knew that this was revenge, Chiguoguo's revenge, he never thought that the helmsman would take revenge in this way, and it was an order issued by the superior, Mingxu's smiling face was already bitter Incomparably, he said after half a day: "It's all up to the rudder master's order." Originally, he was eating fish just now, and his whole body was comfortable, but after the rudder master's order, Ming Xu felt that even if he had dragon liver and phoenix brain, he couldn't eat it anymore.

Like a street doctor, setting up a stall with a few bullshit plasters, Mingxu felt that his life was very sad. Is this the treatment for a medical talent with superb medical skills

Seeing Xue Poye getting up, Mingxu hurriedly said: "Master Rudder, I have something to report."

Xue Poye sat down again, lazily said: "If you have any objection to my arrangement, I advise you not to speak out, I will be very angry."

Mingxu smiled wryly on his demented face, and said: "No, no, master, you order that the kid in the woodshed has been starving for a few days, and you will take care of it yourself. He has been starving for a few days, and the water and rice have not been eaten yet. , don't... don't deal with it again, I'm afraid I'll starve to death, this Buddha has the virtue of good life, look at the rudder...!"

Xue Poye slapped his head, screaming "Oops" for the rest of his life, and suddenly remembered that Ye Tianxiang was still locked in the firewood room of Lingyin Temple. Fortunately, Mingxu reminded him, otherwise he would not be able to remember it for a while.

These people were honest, saying that he was starving for a few days, and he would have no rice or water. At this time, Ye Tianxiang might have turned into a puddle of soft mud.

Xue Poye touched his nose, this Ye Tianxiang looks like a burden, but it is an excellent pawn.

Ever since I heard that Ye Tianxiang was the kid from Lingyin Temple that day, Xue Poye knew that it would be of no benefit to both parties if he was hacked with a knife, but if he found a way to use it, it would be an excellent cake. Thinking of how to use it, but Xue Poye has always had the heart to plan for a rainy day.

"We have to find a way to rescue him." Xue Poye frowned and meditated.

Mingxu pretended to be clever and said: "Is the rudder master going to let him go?"

Xue Poye glanced at him, and said calmly: "I mean rescue, not release. If you release him, he is just a rock, but if you rescue him, then he is a piece of cake."

Both of them are extremely intelligent people, Ming Xu pondered for a while, and immediately understood Xue Poye's meaning: "The rudder master is trying to pretend to rescue him, make him appreciate his kindness, and use it for us in the future?"

Xue Poye rolled his eyes at him, and said displeasedly: "Don't act so smart in the future, okay? Are you showing your wisdom?"

Mingxu panicked and said: "The rudder master misunderstood, the subordinates just guessed randomly."

"My day!" Xue Poye was even more dissatisfied: "You can guess it, are you mocking my wisdom?"

Ming Xu had no choice but to shut up.

The helmsman's temper is really unpredictable, it's really hard to be his subordinate.

Xue Poye tapped on the edge of the table with his fingers, making a low "dongdongdong" sound, and muttered to himself: "What should I do?" He looked thoughtful.

Ming Xu closed his eyes, chanted scriptures in a low voice, not daring to disturb the rudder master.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Poye suddenly asked, "Do you know if there are any bandits and bandits near Hangzhou?"

Mingxu opened his eyes, looked at Xue Poye, hesitant to speak.

Xue Poye said impatiently: "If you know it, don't be dumb."

"Master Rudder." Mingxu couldn't figure out Xue Poye's temper, so he could only take a vaccination first: "If your subordinates say something wrong, Rudder... Master Rudder, don't blame him."

Xue Poye knew that he had given Mingxu some deterrent power, and let him understand that the helmsman in front of him was not an ordinary person, and his goal had been achieved. After all, Mingxu was a talent, and he could use it in the future, and said softly: "Say it, I don’t blame you even if you say Cowherd is Weaver Girl’s grandfather.”

Ming Xu said depressedly: "The Cowherd is the husband of the Weaver Girl." Then he said: "In fact, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou are rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people's life is actually well-off. It is inevitable that even when I was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there would still be many poor people."

Xue Poye agreed with these words and nodded slightly.

"If it is said that there are bandits near Hangzhou, it is not entirely untrue." Mingxu said slowly: "Actually, there are no bandits and robbers, but there is a village in the north of Hangzhou, called Moyun Village, where nearly a hundred people gather, and they spend their days farming. For business, outsiders are fine, but we at Qinglianzhao already know that they are just farming to cover up, and what they are doing behind their backs is a business of murder and robbery."

Xue Poye was shocked and asked, "What kind of business are you doing?"

"The rudder master should know that some things cannot be done in the open. Those high-ranking officials always have some dirty things that they can't solve in private, so they will spend money to hire people from Moyunzhai to do things in secret." Mingxu is obviously Knowing the situation of Moyunzhai very clearly, he said: "Let me give you an example. For example, if there is a feud between two big merchants, if one of them has a large amount of goods to transport, the other can spend money to hire Moyunzhai." People from Yunzhai go to rob goods halfway, this is the business that Moyunzhai is best at doing. Helmsman, you...do you understand?"

Mingxu's example is very good, but Xue Poye's forehead is already covered with cold sweat.

He thought of that night in an instant, when he and Wu Lachi and other Hu people transported horses to Fenglindu, they were ambushed on the way. It was the first time Xue Poye experienced such a dangerous moment in his life, so his memory is still fresh. , I even remembered the expression of the "third brother" who didn't dare to die, and thought of Wu Lachi's bloody smiling face.

Although I thought about it from time to time, I was very curious about the origin of that group of people, but since that night, that group of people seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again. Xue Poye thought it was just an occasional robber ambushe. As the days passed, it was gradually forgotten.

But today Ming Xu suddenly mentioned Moyun Village, and Xue Poye's image of that night became clear again.

Could it be that the robbers who ambush that night were from Moyunzhai

Since Moyunzhai was only hired, who hired them to ambush him

After Xue Poye came to this era, he always looked at this strange world with awe. When he did not reach a certain level of strength, he never easily offended anyone. Naturally, he was afraid of bringing troubles to Yuezhu and the others. After Wu Lachi's arrival, Xue Poye still had no enemies. If he insisted on having an enemy, it could only be... !

"The Lu family!" Xue Poye murmured to himself.

But Xue Poye was not sure, did the Lu family really cheat by hiring people to rob his horses? More importantly, how did the Lu family know that they would transport horses to Fenglindu that night

Mingxu continued: "Actually speaking, Moyun Village is not considered a bandit. It is quite similar to my Qinglian photo. On weekdays, I donate to the poor people. The three chiefs of Moyun Village are also famous heroes." Shaking his head suddenly, Po said with some emotion: "But now the three chiefs of Moyunzhai have gone to the second, and only the second is left."

Xue Poye squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are the other two leaders?"

Mingxu thought for a while, and finally said: "The eldest master died of illness a year ago, and the third master was also killed, that is, not long ago."

Xue Poye had already made up his mind that the robbers who ambushed that night were naturally from Moyunzhai.

The so-called "Third Brother" presumably is the third head of Moyun Village.

Xue Poye touched his nose and said, "Unexpectedly, you are very clear about the situation in Moyun Village."

"Could it be that the rudder master doesn't know?" Mingxu asked with some doubts: "At the beginning, the former rudder master had fought against the three masters, and wanted to take them into my Qinglian photo, but unfortunately they refused. They didn't seem to be fighting against the government, they just wanted to Secretly do some killing and extortion business, and make a living from this."

The former helmsman was naturally Xiao Lingxian's older sister, Seventh Junior Sister.

Xue Poye leaned on the chair, pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's them."

Although Mingxu didn't know what the helmsman's plan was, he already had a premonition from the ruthless eyes of the helmsman that Moyunzhai, which was doing secret business, was going to be in trouble.
