The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

"Scream, stab." Three masked men dangled knives in front of their eyes, and one of them, a thin masked man, said quietly.

The blind third master has seen a lot of big winds and waves, so he naturally understands the rules of the rivers and lakes. This group of people can find themselves in Yulongxuan, they must have figured out the rules of their activities, and know that several of their guards are staying in the corridor. That's why I turned in through the rear window, obviously coming prepared.

"Friend, I have something to say." The blind third master calmly picked up a towel to cover his lower body that suddenly rose like a psychopath, sat up and said.

"Blind third master, is that so?" The masked man moved the brocade stool and sat down, stretching out his hands to warm a pair of white hands on the brazier.

"Who are you? Just ask what you want, don't mess around."

"It's easy to say, I'm taking the liberty to interrupt, because the blind third master is too difficult to get close to, I wanted to enter through the main entrance, but your seven or eight guards wandering around in the corridor like lanterns, there is really no way, so I came from Entering through the rear window spoiled the blind third master's elegance, I hope you will forgive me."

The blind third master chuckled and said, "You're all acting like this, why bother to be hypocritical? You can ask for money or things, and the old man will agree to everything."

"Third Blind Master is a happy person. I don't want some guys to push back and resist and be unhappy, and finally end up with a steel knife. With such a cooperative attitude from Third Blind Master, I believe our next conversation will go smoothly."

The skinny masked man is Su Jin. Needless to say, those two muscular men are Wang Chao Mahan. The three of them stayed for half the night before they found a chance to enter the house. Seeing such a beautiful scene, Su Jin shouted unlucky.

"A good man, don't scare the old man, you don't look like a professional thief, so why are you talking so fiercely." The blind third master picked up his clothes and put them on himself, Wang Chao hurriedly swung his dagger to force him back.

Su Jin waved his hand, signaling the dynasty to step down, and said with a smile: "As expected of an old Jianghu, I can see through my background at a glance. I am quite interested. How did you guess it?"

The Blind Third Master said: "The art of observing people is unpredictable and unspeakable. If you are as old as this old man, experience will naturally tell you the answer."

Su Jin became more and more interested, tilted his head and said, "I would like to hear the details."

The blind third master put on his underwear, sat obediently on the soft couch again and said: "A strongman enters the house, either for money or revenge, he moves quickly and roars like the wind, it is the first time for a strongman like you to come in and ask questions. See."

Su Jin laughed and said, "That's what you're based on? But I asked you after you said we're not professional robbers."

The blind third master said: "Your hands warming the fire are slender and white. They are not the hands of a strong man who climbs up and down. They look like someone holding a pen. Those two hands have protruding joints and tangled tendons. They are like martial arts masters. People, I boldly guess that you are just a son of a certain family, and those two seem to be your followers."

Su Jin was amazed. With the three hands of himself and Wang Chao Ma Han, he was able to guess so much information. This guy is simply a fortress. Although it is impossible to guess his identity, he is already so close.

Su Jin couldn't let this old guy be so arrogant, so he decided to hit him, so he said: "You have some vision, you might as well guess again, what are we looking for you for?"

The blind third master said: "I am not talented, I have a reputation for being kind and charitable in my life. I also have some friends in the underworld and officials, and I have never offended these friends. Therefore, in the past 20 years, no one has had trouble with the old man. Presumably you didn't come here to kill me, it's probably because money is tight and you want me to give you some money."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Do you think we are little thieves who are greedy for money? Tell you, you guessed it wrong. I didn't come here for money or death, but only for one person; got it What we want to know, I will leave right away, without hurting the third master blind, of course, this is under the premise of your cooperation; if the third master blind does not give you face, you also know that we are newbies, if you do it for a while If you want to hurt your noble body, it's none of our business."

The blind third master frowned and said, "If you hurt me, you will definitely not be able to escape."

Su Jin sneered and said: "The back window has a bare wall, we can go up to these two floors, and we are afraid that we won't be able to escape? Don't you have the diamonds to come to you for advice? Although we are not thieves, what are petty thieves? That three-legged cat's kung fu is not enough for a man to see."

The blind third master hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Who do you want to inquire about? I can't guarantee that I will know this person."

Su Jin said: "Don't worry, you must know. This person is very close to you. Maybe you still have a business cooperation relationship. If you don't know, no one will know."

The blind third master said, "Who is it?"

Su Jin said: "Feng Jingyao, Tiger of Yangzhou!"

The blind third master was obviously startled, moved his body and said: "Why don't you just go to him if you want to find him? Besides, he is a famous person in Yangzhou City, and he can talk about his affairs with anyone, so why bother to look for him?" old?"

Su Jin said: "Ming people don't do secret things. I have a deep hatred with him. I came back to Yangzhou to find his bad luck. It's just that this person's whereabouts are erratic, and there are hundreds of disciples guarding him. It's really hard to get close. We also learned about the blind The third master has an extraordinary friendship with him, so I want to ask the blind third master to give me some advice, telling me about his life rules, where he often appears, and how to guard around him. will have nothing to do with you."

The blind third master said angrily: "How do I know his whereabouts? Isn't this a joke?"

Su Jin said in a cold voice: "The blind third master is not smart enough to talk like that. Since I found you, of course I know about the mess between you. No?"

The blind third master said angrily: "It's ridiculous, how can I know other people's affairs even if I don't care about my own affairs, it's extremely ridiculous."

Su Jin sneered, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and read softly: "The blind third master, whose real name is Yang Tianbao, is from Laizhou on Jingdong Road. He died and fled to Yangzhou Mansion with his family and changed his name to Yang San. He resumed his old business in Yangzhou Mansion and still engaged in the river and lake shipping business. He has a flexible mind and quick hands. He was stabbed by others, so his eyes were blinded, and people gave him the nickname Blind Third Master."

Su Jin put away the note, smiled and said to the surprised blind third master: "Is this your experience? If I guessed correctly, your left eye is probably either a fish eye or a dog eye. It's just a decoration. In fact, you only see people with your right eye?"

"You... where did you know that?"

Su Jin smiled softly and said: "Although your house is big, the courtyard walls are high, and there are many guards, they can't stop us from waiting. There is an old lady living in a small Buddhist hall in the southwest corner. Isn't it your wife?"

"This old fool, dare to say this to outsiders, he is really going to die." The blind third master said angrily.

Su Jin sighed and said: "Don't be too excited, we can't continue our conversation if we invite the nursing home from outside; in fact, you shouldn't blame your wife, who happened to have a pink girl at that time." Is the kid named Bao Guaner also in the Buddhist hall? My companion has a bad temper, and your wife doesn’t want to say that my companion picked up Baoguan and threw it on the Buddha statue. I couldn’t persuade him for a while. , the old lady felt sorry for this precious official, so she said everything."

The blind third master gasped and scolded angrily: "You are really despicable and shameless, you actually attack children, don't expect this old man to tell you a word."

Su Jin clapped his hands and clapped his hands, nodded in praise and said, "What a grand-sounding blind third master, your grandson is a human being, but his grandson is not a human being? Don't you think I don't know how many bad things you have done in Yangzhou Mansion? Bao Yang How was the lake pier built? You colluded with the prefect of Mei at that time to forcefully drive away the residents who lived there, just because the deep water was a good place to build the pier. Do you remember that six people were killed? Among the dead was a six-year-old boy named Jin Geer, remember?"

The blind third master turned pale in shock and said, "You... who the hell are you? Why are you spitting blood, there is no such thing at all."

Su Jin stepped on the side of the soft couch, approached the blind third master's eyes and said: "There are murder files filed in the government files. It just so happens that I have a friend in the government. I went to investigate the case myself. In the end, you took a man named Xie Bao's servant took the blame, am I wrong?"

The Blind Third Master was completely dumbfounded. Who are these people? They actually know their origins, and they are so detailed. Thinking of the things I did in the past, how many of them are still under their control, the Blind Third Master said. I was sweating profusely all over my body.
