Chapter 203 The Beginning of a Dream

(13)

It is said that the place where Baifeng and the others stayed for a day is a well-known place in the town where there are three religions and nine schools.A straight long street is divided into two columns vertically, and many wine shops are open like a hundred flowers blooming.Their signs are more gorgeous than one, and the beauties in charge of attracting customers are more out of the ordinary.

Then, like the branches of a towering tree, this street also opened up and separated countless dark narrow alleys from both sides of the main road, and many ugly and ugly transactions took root here.

Private prostitutes commit adultery here, and thieves buy and sell stolen goods here.If the taverns on both sides are the most conspicuous flowers growing in the most conspicuous places on the branches, then those people who are hidden in the night, those invisible dirty transactions are the maggots parasitic in the trunk and branches.

These people rely on the big tree, not for the sake of living and living, but for absorbing as much nutrients as possible from the tree, and when the tree dies, they can leave without hesitation—they don’t love this land at all , and even hated the people and rulers of this land.

Compared with the management problems of the veterans, these invisible maggots have long been secretly colluding and forming gangs, forming an invisible hand, silently manipulating the market.

The people in Yuyi Town would call them "Money Rats", and those with a slightly higher status, such as the officials and the children of the family, would collectively call these people rioters and thieves.

And when Bai Feng returned to Yuyi Zhao's mansion, he vaguely felt that there were several pairs of cold eyes watching him in the dark, on the eaves, in some invisible place.This was a premonition from the wild, but he still seemed to pretend nothing had happened, walked steadily, and walked back to Zhao's house step by step.

As a person who has never learned martial arts and spends most of the day in the house, Ah Bian couldn't even keep up with Bai Feng's walking speed.Panting for breath, he half walked and half ran, and finally caught up with the young swordsman in front of Zhao's house.

Bai Feng happened to ask the doorkeeper to stop in front of the door, and the boy said: "Why, there are women who want to be sent in tonight?"

"Brother, please let me meet Zhao Kuo and Mr. Zhao quickly, so that I can accept the next step!"

"No, you don't know how badly I gave Mr. Fan a scolding during the day!" The young man looked back timidly to make sure that the partition wall had no ears, and then said, "Hurry up, if I let Mr. Fan When the old man sees it, he will definitely tell Mr. Zhao, and my iron rice bowl will be gone by then!"

After all, Bai Feng, who didn't want to ruin other people's livelihood, had to stand there and think for a while, until A-Bian called out from behind: "Young Master Bai, you are going too fast! A-Bian, I really... can't catch up .”

"Ah Bian, think of a way to let me in." Bai Feng responded.

The young man saw A-Bian staggering up the stairs, so he hurried over to help him, and said, "Brother Bian, where are you going to have a good time?"

"I said, Ah Niu, do you have the strength and no place to act wildly? You actually blocked Young Master Bai from the outside, he is Mr. Zhao's good friend!"

"It's...really?" The boy named A Niu was surprised, "But Mr. Zhao and Mr. Fan have strictly prohibited it. Mr. Zhao is not allowed to meet outsiders."

"Then you have the right to ignore it. Even if the matter is exposed, you will not have anything to do with Bai Shaoxia."

"How to say?"

"Bai Shaoxia can climb over the wall from the backyard, there will be no patrols there, and it is very close to Mr. Zhao's house." A-Bian spoke clearly and logically, as if he had turned the entire Zhao Mansion upside down long ago, and knew the root of it: " Let me go in first, Shaoxia Bai jumped in from the roof of the backyard when he heard three cat meows. And you, A Niu, act like you don’t know anything.”

After Bai Feng and Ah Niu agreed one after another, Ah Bian walked in openly.A Niu continued to stand in front of the door, staring at the distance like a log, watching Bai Feng quietly walk around the outer wall of Zhao's mansion.

With a mere low wall and A Bian inside to support her, it was not difficult for Bai Feng to approach Zhao Kuo quietly.

Soon, Bai Feng managed to sneak into Zhao Kuo's house, just in time to see the rich man writing a book under a faintly visible oil lamp.The light from the oil lamp was very dim, almost non-existent. If it wasn't for the bright starlight and moonlight outside, Zhao Kuo couldn't see what was written on the paper at all, but writing under such circumstances was naturally not an easy task.

"Brother Zhao, I have something to tell you!" Bai Feng said as he leaned forward.

"Wait a moment, after I finish writing this sentence...'Zi fishing is not a key, and a yi is not a shooting'." Zhao Kuo read the words, but his eyes did not stare at the paper carefully, but his hand never stopped. It can be seen that his writing hand I have long been accustomed to the action of copying, and I can write in place without looking carefully.

Bai Feng replied: "Brother Zhao, this matter is extremely urgent!"

"how do I say this?"

"I found an amazing thing. Do you know why the 'Smile of Heaven' suddenly harassed Zhao's caravan? In fact, it was General Yao who spread the news on purpose. He was trying to 'respect himself'! According to me Look, General Yao participated in the planning of the whole thing, and he even embezzled a lot of the 1 taels of silver."

Zhao Kuo said: "Brother Bai, how can you speculate out of thin air like this. I won't believe what you say without proof."

"According to what the veterans in the wine shop said, 'Yixiao Huangquan' has not been seen in Yuyi Town for a long time, but now it suddenly appeared, and it was the Zhao family caravan who robbed them. They never rob the people of the caravan, only the army. A green forest hero with a lot of luggage." Bai Feng explained meaningfully: "Also, using the roving bandits to harass the soldiers in Wuchuan Town, isn't it a two-way strategy? It won't implicate Yuyi Town and cause fire, and it can Consume the strength of "Yi Xiao Huang Quan". Finally, find another excuse to annihilate this group of bandits in one fell swoop, and earn credit without any effort! Now, Miss Lou is a golden opportunity. , but also to destroy the prestige of the Zhao family."

"If Jinghua dies during the crusade, our Zhao family will indeed lose a good reputation; if she returns victorious, General Yao will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. In this way, Brother Bai's speculation is not unreasonable." Zhao Kuo was skeptical, looking at the dying oil lamp, unable to speak for a long time.

"Brother Zhao, when I came back just now, I found someone was following and monitoring me, so it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time. Please take care of yourself, Brother Zhao. I will find conclusive evidence and the whereabouts of 'Yixiao Huangquan' as soon as possible."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, just as he was about to leave, Zhao Kuo also stepped forward to persuade him to stay: "Brother Bai, you should also pay attention. The gang of thieves may be 'money rats'. I only found out after I came back that General Yao had the largest It’s really not bad that a group of rioters have been brought under their command.”

"Money rat?" Bai Feng smiled and said, "It's really as cunning as a rat. I just sensed some signs of trouble, but I didn't see them. If I can catch one or two people alive for questioning, maybe things can make progress? "

The two looked at each other for a while, and said goodbye.
