Chapter 378 It’s Better to Mess with Wu Song than Shi Xiu! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"Brother Shi Xiu, I have something to trouble you about."

At Fu Yin's house, the housekeeper Chen Zhong came to the warehouse and handed Shi Xiu a box of shortbread with a smile on his face, a look of flattery on his face.

Shi Xiu smiled and accepted the shortbread:

"If the steward has something to do, just send someone from the tribe to come and shout. There is no need to come in person."

After saying that, he quickly brought a chair to the butler.

The two exchanged some pleasantries before Chen Zhong said:

"You don't have to be so polite. The master has an important errand to run. After much thought, I feel that you are more suitable for such a big house."

Although he is a housekeeper, Chen Zhong always smiles and never speaks in a domineering manner. He treats everyone like a spring breeze and is quite popular in the house.

Shi Xiu cupped his hands and said:

"But the housekeeper has something to do, but please give me your orders. No matter whether I go to the mountain of swords or to the sea of ​​fire, I will never refuse!"

These words made Chen Zhong wave his hands repeatedly:

"It's not that serious, and it won't be dangerous. Brother Shi Xiuxian, please relax."

He smiled and talked about what he wanted to do this time:

"One of my nephews likes swords and guns and wants a standard sword. However, these weapons are all registered with a steel seal. Even though I am a governor, I can't be lenient. But my nephew is crying seriously, and my relatives are also crying. They all agreed, so I planned to go to the weapons workshop outside the city while it was dark to secretly ask for one without a steel seal, so I could get by..."

It’s really not a big deal... Shi Xiu asked with a smile:

"Just a sword? Don't need anything else?"

"No need, no need. The master has already said hello to the supervisor over there. When you arrive, they will take you to get it. Just bring it back with you."

Shi Xiu felt that this was not a problem at all. Just as he was about to agree, Chen Zhong said again:

"In order to take care of you on the way, ask some of the cleaning boys in the backyard to go with you. After you get the sword, go to the city wall and someone will put down the bamboo basket to pick you up."

Zhending Mansion is close to the border and strictly implements the curfew policy. Every time it gets dark, the city gates are locked. It is difficult to enter the city at this time.

If there is urgent information, the city gate officers and soldiers will check and put down a bamboo basket and hoist the person up.

Shi Xiu felt that just using a sword was too fussy:

"I'll go and get back quickly by myself. Maybe I'll be able to get back when it gets dark. I won't need to sit in the bamboo basket anymore."

In the dark, he was sitting on a bamboo basket on the city wall. If the people above him missed it, how could he be thrown out?

Chen Zhong explained:

"It can't be too early, otherwise someone will see it. It's hard to explain to the Prime Minister. You guys have a rest in the afternoon, have dinner in the evening, and go out of the city when it gets dark... I have asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes and a bottle of wine, but not more. Drink, the master’s business is important.”

"no problem!"

Shi Xiu agreed wholeheartedly, feeling that this matter was not difficult at all.

The housekeeper is so cautious, he really doesn't know how to do this.

Chen Zhong gave a few more instructions before leaving the warehouse.

As soon as he left, Shi Qian's figure appeared from the beam:

"Xiu'er, something's wrong!"

Shi Xiu threw the box of shortbread cookies over:

"What are you calling me?"

"Ha, this is a joke from the real world. I mean to praise you for your awesomeness...Don't look at me like that. My husband said it himself. I wanted him to call me Qian'er, but my husband likes to call me Xiu'er. "

Shi Qian opened the shortbread, smelled it first, and then waved the lucky cat pendant on the shortbread. Then he felt relieved, picked up a piece, took a bite, nodded and said:

"It tastes good, very similar to the peach cakes that Mr. gave me...I heard that the Yunxiao Empress of Fengshen World plans to make some peach cakes herself. I don't know if we will be able to taste them."

Shi Xiu poured him a glass of water and said angrily:

"If you take the Zhending Mansion as soon as possible, sir, you will be rewarded... What did you mean when you said something was wrong just now?"

Shi Qian sat on the table and patted the cake crumbs off his body:

"The housekeeper asked you to go to the armory at night, and you made such a big fuss just to get a sword. It's very wrong. Considering Fu Yin's status in Zhending Mansion, if you give a casual order, the eunuch may come to your door immediately holding a sword. There is no need to go and get it secretly... How about I follow you at night? I can take care of you if you need anything."

Shi Xiu waved his hand carelessly:

"No need, besides your small body, you are also a burden... In the original book, it was you who stole the chicken that led to you being captured by the Zhujiazhuang people."

Shi Qian: "..."

What original work are you talking about?

Is there a steel crossbow given by the gentleman in the original novel? Do you have a bright flashlight? Is there an intercom? Have a drone? Yes... forget it, there's nothing to talk about with you fools.

Shi Qian put the remaining shortbread back into the box, stuffed it into his arms, followed the pillar to the beam, lowered his head and said to Shi Xiu:

"I will report this matter to the emperor's uncle... By the way, this morning, Zhang Sanye, Shi Dalang, and Jin Baozi went undercover to the weapons workshop. We will say hello in advance... Don't bring weapons and equipment, there You will be searched when you enter, and your belongings will be found.”

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."

"886!"

Shi Qian, like a young surfer in ancient times, said an old joke and disappeared from the rafters.

Soon, this thin thief appeared at Fengming Academy and told Liu Bei and Wen Huanzhang about the steward sending Shi Xiu to the weapons workshop.

Liu Bei stroked the beard under his chin and said:

"A group of people went to get a sword. There is something really fishy about this."

Wen Huanzhang was playing with the goose feather fan given by Li Yu, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind:

"Uncle Emperor, do you think it has something to do with Yuan Lu's nephew attacking Fu Yin?"

"There shouldn't be any contact, right? But just in case, I'd like to ask Taoist Priest Qiao to follow him around tonight. Let's also be prepared here. If something happens, we'll rush to Fu Yin's house and take control of Zhending Mansion first. ”

We wanted to figure it out slowly, but Fu Yin made a move, so we can only make a few more plans to deal with it.

Shi Qian ate the pecans Yue Fei brought from the real world and said:

"If you ask me, let's just kill Fu Yin's family and then raise an army. Now it's so complicated that I can't even understand it."

Liu Bei smiled and explained:

"We cannot let the governor die inexplicably. We must have a public trial and expose his crimes to the world one by one. Only in this way can we gain the support of the people."

The last public trial held in Qilin Village was a success and won the support of the whole town. Now that we have come to Zhending Mansion, we naturally have to stir up public opinion.

Some of the illegal and disciplinary things that the governor did on weekdays were also recorded by the invisible Qiao Daoqing.

When the public trial is held, everything will be announced so that the people of Zhending Mansion can see his face clearly.

At the same time, on Xuanwu Street, a long queue formed at the door of Shenxianzui. Everyone fell in love with the high-quality liquor here. The charcoal-like feeling made it difficult for many drunkards to extricate themselves.

Li Ying stood behind the counter, rolled up his sleeves and muttered:

"It's a pity that we didn't set the price too high in order to set up a trap. Otherwise, with this sales method, we will soon become a rich man in Zhen Dingfu."

Lu Junyi smiled and said:

"Money alone is useless. Maybe the governor can raid our store with just one word... The weather is getting colder and colder. It's time to get a stove in the store."

While they were chatting, Chen Wenju walked into the store with his arms hanging. His face was swollen but still had clear slap marks. His head was wrapped in white cloth, and he looked like he had just come off the battlefield.

Seeing him, the surrounding customers hurriedly got out of the way, fearing that they would be affected by the commotion later.

Lu Junyi walked over calmly:

"If you are here to buy wine, go and queue up. If you are not here to buy wine, please leave. Your appearance will scare my customers."

As soon as he finished speaking, several government officials strode in and shouted at Lu Junyi:

"This Mr. Chen accuses you of stealing the ancestral secret brewing recipe. Come with us and Mr. Fu Yin will investigate clearly."

Is this...retaliation?

Lu Junyi and Li Ying looked at each other. They were wondering how long Chen Wenju could endure such a good business. Unexpectedly, after only one day, he couldn't wait to jump out and cause trouble.

Once he is imprisoned, God knows when the case will be heard, and he may be detained until he dies in prison.

Wen Huanzhang had already thought of such a trick, so he asked Lu Junyi to speed up selling wine. In this way, when the shop closes, the people who are hungry for drinks will naturally think of Lu Junyi and Li Ying.

At the same time, it can also deepen the image of Fu Yin's nephew as a bully and dominate the market, and provide help for the future occupation of Zhending Mansion.

Chen Wenju was missing half of his teeth, but he was very interested. He looked at the layout of the store with interest, pointed to the limited supply sign in front of the counter and said vaguely:

"Let's dismantle this later. How can we do business with Sosou?"

It's obvious that he has regarded this place as his own property.

Lu Junyi raised his hands and said to the Yamen servant:

"These people have already paid their money. How about you wait until they finish drinking?"

"No, no, hurry up, your money will be confiscated, and these wines will be brought back as evidence in court... You people, get out quickly, don't interfere with official business!"

The actions of the government servants made the people very dissatisfied. Li Ying took the opportunity to bow to everyone:

"I'm sorry, folks, we can't sell any wine today. I don't know what we did. We have to go with these officials."

The people waiting in line were furious:

“They didn’t commit anything, they just colluded with government officials and businessmen to bully and dominate the market!”

"This is not the first time that this man named Chen has bullied the liquor seller. All of us know it."

"Yes, what a good person he was at the Wangji Restaurant before, but he was so crowded that he disappeared without a trace. The whole family is missing. They said they fled to other places."

"And the owner of Wuji Winery, who was a nice guy, suddenly gave his shop to this guy. Think about it, there's something fishy going on."

Everyone was talking to each other, and Chen Wenju was upset when he heard it. He ordered several government officials:

"Catch them all, leave no one behind!"

Li Ying quickly stopped in front of the drinking people:

"Come at us if you have anything. What's the point of bullying the people... Folks, leave quickly, don't let us brothers get involved."

This guy has a strong desire to perform... Qiao Daoqing, who was filming invisibly, almost laughed out loud. It was the first time he discovered that the owner of Lijiazhuang was so talented in acting.

But the more you perform like this, the better the results will be.

When it is played during the public trial, the people will immediately become angry and furious, and they will continue to throw rotten eggs at Chen Wenju.

Well, let Li Zhong collect some rotten eggs and set up a stall at the public trial. Business will definitely be good.

Soon, the people left Shenxian Zui, but they did not walk away. Instead, they stood not far away, staring at Chen Wenju as a monster with righteous indignation.

The yamen servants took away all the remaining liquor, sealed the store, and escorted Lu Junyi, Li Ying and several store clerks to the yamen as a parade and put them in jail.

As soon as he was imprisoned, Qiao Daoqing showed up and brought him keys, walkie-talkies, throwing knives, waist knives and other self-defense weapons that he had prepared in advance. If the government officials messed up, he would be killed to avoid suffering in prison.

"If anything happens, call us. Thank you, Taoist Master, for guiding you out."

After Qiao Daoqing finished speaking, he quietly left the cell and followed Chen Wenju.

In the evening, Shi Xiu came to the kitchen where the servants were dining, and saw that the table was filled with dishes, mostly meat, and even Dongpo Pork invented by the great scholar Su Dongpo.

Several servants responsible for cleaning were also there, and everyone sat together and started eating.

The housekeeper Chen Zhong came over, smiled and advised everyone to eat more, then left the kitchen and said to Yan Qing who was dealing with flowers and plants in the front yard:

"We'll recruit some more cleaning boys tomorrow. They need to be smarter."

"Okay, I'll go take care of this early in the morning."

When Chen Zhong left, Yan Qing muttered in her heart:

"The boys in charge of cleaning, aren't these the same people sent to the weapons workshop? What do you mean? They can't come back?"

Yan Qing's mind changed and she vaguely guessed something.

He pretended to be nonchalant and finished the work in the front yard. Taking advantage of the opportunity to patrol the kitchen, he quietly told Shi Xiu that the situation was very wrong and that he had to be careful in everything.

Shi Xiu nodded secretly, saying that he would pay attention.

Soon, everyone had eaten and drank enough, and left together from the back door of Fu Yin's house, quickly walking out of the city.

It was always dark in October. By the time they reached the city gate, it was already dark. As soon as they walked out of the doorway, the city gate creaked shut.

Shi Xiu looked back at the heavily guarded defenders on the city wall, vaguely feeling that if he really came back tonight, he would most likely be shot into a hedgehog.

A group of people arrived at the weapons workshop one step at a time. As soon as they arrived at the door, a police officer came to greet them:

"But a guest of the Fuyin family?"

Shi Xiu nodded:

"I was ordered to come get something!"

"Come in, according to the rules here, no matter who comes in, they will be searched first. Come one by one, don't be anxious, just go through the process."

It's said to be a process, but in fact it was very careful, and even the thighs were checked.

Fortunately, I didn't bring any self-defense weapons or walkie-talkies, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pass this level.

After the inspection, the two boys responsible for cleaning did not dare to go in:

"It feels so scary in here, can we wait outside?"

"How can we, in this important place of ordnance, allow you to leave whenever you want and stop whenever you want? Hurry in and save your ink."

Chapiao's attitude became worse and worse. He pushed a few people inside. Shi Xiu saw that this place was heavily guarded. There were double posts everywhere, and many people were carrying strung crossbows. If they started to use their hands, The difficulty is not small.

Several officers and soldiers held torches and led the crowd deep into the weapons workshop.

At this time, next to furnace No. 7, the little boss in charge said to Zhang Fei, who had been pretending to be dumbfounded:

"Someone will come over later. Don't ask anything about anything that happens. Just light the fire and push and pull the bellows. You will benefit from it when it is done."

Zhang Fei scratched his head:

"Can't stop no matter what happens?"

"Yes, your task is to keep the fire burning brightly. When the molten iron comes out, remember to collect it and make weapons for use tomorrow."

In order to make Zhang Fei more motivated, the little boss stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder and said:

"As long as you work hard and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, I guarantee that you will definitely be able to buy a house in the city in a year... The house in Zhending Mansion is very expensive. Once you have a house, you won't have to worry. I can’t get a wife.”

Thank you, I have a daughter-in-law, and she is the most noble empress of the Song Dynasty... Zhang Fei muttered proudly in his heart, but there was an expectant expression on his face:

"I didn't expect that I could buy a house and marry a wife. If that happened, I would just follow the adults for the rest of my life!"

The little boss laughed:

"Easy to say, just wait here. I'll go and report to the Chief Inspector first."

After saying that, he hurriedly left No. 7 Furnace and walked into Jian Cheng's room.

At this time, Jian Cheng was playing chess with Yang Lin. When he saw the little boss coming in, he asked without raising his head:

"arranged?"

"Okay, the new big black guy is stupid. I can coax him around with just a few words. Now he is dreaming of buying a house and marrying a wife."

Jian Cheng nodded:

"If it's useful, keep it for a while. If it's not useful, then get rid of it... But you are also wicked. You actually use your homely wife to seduce others. Who can withstand such temptation?"

Yang Lin: "..."

Damn it, it’s not good for you to provoke anyone. You actually provoked that evil star. Aren’t you asking for your own death?

But it's okay to provoke Zhang San. What he is most concerned about is that Fu Yin's housekeeper actually sent Shi Xiu here. Haven't you heard of the saying "it's better to provoke Wu Song than Shi Xiu"?

If you offend Takejiro, you can still survive by saying a few soft words.

But if he offends the desperate Saburo and smashes his head, he will not be merciful!

Tian Huixing, extremely intelligent, will be hurt. Shi Xiu is not willing to hurt himself, so he can only hurt those who provoke him.

Not far from Furnace No. 7, Shi Jin was carrying a three-pointed two-edged knife that he had just beaten in the afternoon, and was hiding in the dark with Deng Fei. Firstly, he was observing the hidden secrets of No. 7 Furnace. Secondly, he was hiding in the dark. It was to provide support for Zhang Fei and Shi Xiu who were about to arrive.

Not long after, several officers and soldiers escorted Shi Xiu and four or five boys to the front of the No. 7 furnace.

Zhang Fei, who was lighting the fire, secretly threw a steel drill at Shi Xiu's feet. No matter what happened later, Desperate Saburo at least had a weapon at hand.

Soon, Chabo took out a piece of paper from his arms and asked:

"Who is Wang Jiujin?"

A boy raised his hand tremblingly:

"The small one is."

Chabo said expressionlessly:

"You stole the sterling silver candlestick from the Buddhist temple last month, and my lord decided to put you to death."

After saying that, before everyone had time to react, he flew up and kicked Wang Jijin off guard into the hot iron-making furnace. There was only a "boom" sound, and the red-hot furnace and the inside melted. The iron ore immediately wrapped Wang Jijin.

The boy didn't even utter a scream before he turned into a bright flame and died.

Zhang Fei: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shi Jin: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Deng Fei: "!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Damn it, is this the secret of the weapons workshop? ! ! !

Cha Bo glanced at the blazing blast furnace, pushed a frightened boy, and prepared to continue filling the furnace.

At this moment, Tianhuixing Shi Xiu bent down to pick up the steel drill on the ground, raised his hand and smashed Chabo's head to pieces, then rushed towards the officers and soldiers next to him, gritted his teeth and said:

"I didn't want to hurt anyone, you forced me to do it!"
