Princess Fuyao

Chapter 42 Night Attack
"Don't worry about this, as long as there are people who are useful." Fuyao said innocently.

"Then do you have anyone on hand?"

Knowing that he was teasing her, Fuyao stamped his feet angrily: "Is there any need for me to look for you?"

"I do have a few that I need, including the shopkeeper, accountant, and waiters."

Fuyao heard it, oh, it's all your world, what about my people?However, she didn't say anything for the time being, and just suggested: "Do you have a candidate for a cook? It's best to have someone who can roast duck. We can just change the taste and eating method a little bit. It's delicious all over the world. No need to do it." A huge change."

"It's easy to handle, I'll come and find it." Now Yinhu, Yi Liangrong can go everywhere, and doing things is much more convenient than before.He took another look at the blueprints on the table, and shook his head, "It's hard to find the front of this store, maybe we have to separate it, and open more smaller stores." His thinking is really flexible, Knowing that it is difficult to find a bigger facade, and thinking about it instead, Fuyao quite agrees in his heart.

Yinhu still didn't think that Fuyao was capable of doing this well, so he didn't discuss anything with her anymore, but just frowned in contemplation, took his leave after lunch, and left.

In the next few days, apart from being busy with his personal affairs, Yinhu spent the rest of the time looking for appearances.

General Guo finally met Fuyao, and when he heard Liang Mingrui begging to see him, he frowned all of a sudden: "It must be a very important matter, I'm free tonight, and the place is behind the Town God's Temple, where there is a big cypress tree yard."

"it is good!"

Fuyao didn't know why Liang Mingrui asked her to pass the news like that. She walked through the market in front of the Town God's Temple as she said, and when she saw someone selling sesame candy, she bought a pack, but the purse disappeared. In her hand, besides the sugar pack, there was There is an extra small windmill, and on the handle of the windmill, "Got it" is written.

Fuyao hurriedly reported to General Guo.

This time it was Guo Bin who replaced Chen Qiangrui as General Guo's assistant. He was very happy to see Fuyao, and even twitched the corner of his mouth and gave Fuyao a smile.

General Guo saw it, and beckoned to Fuyao: "Don't go, have dinner here, let's go to Chenghuang Temple together."

General Guo and Guo Bin’s uncle and nephew were also disguised and modified. Fuyao helped a little, and Guo Bin became a 30-year-old strong man. General Guo was an old man with a gray beard. Dress up like an old lady.

"Who did Fuyao learn from?" General Guo was curious.

"Women are natural, I love to draw, and it's more like doing this." Although the reason was far-fetched, it was not unreasonable, and General Guo stopped asking.

It went smoothly to the courtyard behind the Town God's Temple. Fuyao and Guo Bin arranged traps, nooses and other protective measures in the courtyard, and arranged for the courtyard guards to patrol. When it was Haishi, the courtyard was peaceful, just like an ordinary courtyard where the owner had already fallen asleep.

The gray and black figure was like a big bird, landing lightly on the roof, and then three meows were heard.A red halo flashed across the yard, and Liang Mingrui fell from the roof, followed by a thin figure.

Guo Bin took him into the house.

The heavy curtains and curtains blocked the light inside, General Guo sat quietly on the chair, Liang Mingrui bowed and saluted: "I've seen General Guo!"

"You're welcome, my son, please sit down."

Fuyao and Guo Bin were standing guard at the door and window. Although the conversation in the room was quiet, they could still be heard. Liang Mingrui didn't intend to hide them, otherwise, he would definitely signal General Guo.

"I'm not Liang Bingwang's son!" Although they felt that there might be conflicts between father and son, no one thought it would be like this, and the three people who heard it were all stunned.

Liang Mingrui knew the weight of the blockbuster he had thrown, so he paused for a moment before saying, "My father is Liang Bingzheng, King of Zhenbei." General Guo had already been knocked out and didn't say a word.

"I'm Liang Mingyu!"

"Second, Second Young Master?"

"Ok!"

This is too unbelievable. Isn't Liang Bingzheng's second son missing?Why should people believe him?
"Did the general hear that I was born with visions?"

"Samsung chain?"

"Ok!"

The sound of Liang Mingrui undressing came from the room, and General Guo gasped in surprise: "It sure is!"

It was only later that Fuyao found out that the so-called three-star chain was on Liang Mingrui's back. There was a piece of skin that was whiter than the surrounding area. The outline of the outer edge was like three circles connected together, and three moles were irregularly distributed inside.In her opinion, this is nothing unusual, but there is a monk with profound morality, who said it is a great wealth, so many people in the capital know that Liang Bingzheng's second son has a vision, and Fuyao suspects that it is a trick of the alchemist to cheat money. But it became Liang Mingrui's best evidence to prove himself.

General Guo cried. He followed Liang Jian first, and then Liang Bingzheng. The father and son had a kindness in recommending and nurturing him, especially Liang Bingzheng, who treated him like a master and a brother, but he died just like that, and the family broke up. .This is the eternal pain in his heart, seeing the benefactor's son now, the excitement is self-evident.

General Guo was speechless, but Liang Mingrui calmed down first. He continued calmly: "It is true that Liang Mingrui died. When he was nine years old, smallpox spread in the capital. He and King Fu's second grandson, Wang Pingan, got sick together. , Wang Pingan died first, and Liang Bingwang and his wife were in a hurry, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha everywhere. Coincidentally, the Taoist priests who drew lots and invited him in the temple said to let him take refuge in the southeast. It happened that there was only one Zhuangzi in the family in the southeast. I lived there and was buried nearby when I died. There was a dumb man in the village who was rescued by my nanny in the snow. Talking, looking stupid on the face, but actually understands everything in the heart.

Liang Bingwang's wife was expecting to give birth, so she couldn't accompany her son. It was Lin Li, the nanny, and a few maidservants who went to the Zhuangzi.Liang Mingrui died within a few days, Lin Li was frightened, and secretly sent a letter to her husband from her confidant, asking for advice.

Lin Shan was the steward of the outer court at the time, and he had a cruel heart. He knew that if he told the truth, Mrs. Lin and Li had done nothing wrong and would be blamed. .He remembered a gatekeeper woman in the mansion who once gossiped that there was a child in her mother's village who looked very much like the eldest son. Lin Shan quietly brought the woman out, interrogated her carefully, and confirmed that she had a similar resemblance to Liang Mingrui.My cousin usually doesn’t let me go out and just plays in the yard. After all, I’m a child. Sometimes my uncle doesn’t watch me, and I will secretly look around at the gate. Few people in the village have seen me, so who knows I still appear Such a thing.

My cousin sells sesame seed cakes. For me, he wandered outside for seven years, and only returned to his hometown when the news passed. Unexpectedly, disasters would follow one after another. Liang Mingrui's voice choked up, and he murmured self-blamingly, "It's all my fault." Hearing that he took a deep breath, Fuyao suppressed his sadness and continued to talk, feeling very sad in his heart. Only ten years old, what kind of perseverance can he not show his weakness in front of the enemy? Six years, two thousand days and nights Night, is a lot of hardship.

"Zhao Daya and his wife sneaked into my cousin's house at night with my sister's family for dozens of taels of silver, killed people, robbed me, and burned the house down.

I couldn't find my cousin, and cried desperately. When Lin Shan and his wife were at a loss, they found that I would feel more at ease when they saw the dumb, so they let the dumb come to coax me. It was very strange, but I could understand the meaning of the dumb's gestures, he told me Only by being obedient and patient can I avenge my cousin.

Lin Shan and his wife threatened me and asked me to pretend to be Liang Mingrui. Mrs. Lin and Li knew everything about Liang Mingrui. In the next two months, all my living habits changed. Fighting, plus I studied desperately for revenge, and when I returned home in three months, no one dared to say that I was not.

Perhaps Liang Mingrui and I could be separated instantly if we stood together, but without comparison, no one would suspect that I was thinner and taller than him, and I didn't eat as well as him, and my complexion was not good, so I just pretended to be seriously ill Children in the field are very suitable.

Liang Bingwang has only himself in his heart, and even his son is a bargaining chip in exchange for wealth. He has been forcing Liang Mingrui to practice martial arts. Liang Mingrui is very resistant to him, and the two don't know each other very well.His wife and Mrs. Tai are very doting on children. Liang Mingrui is a bit effeminate, and his kung fu is not very good. I just went back, and I can't take a long time. No one suspects that I did something wrong. Sometimes I didn't know what to do, and I was pushed to be the result of an illness, so I didn't have any special doubts. In addition, I paid attention to everything, and soon became handy.

The thing that is most likely to go wrong is martial arts. Liang Mingrui has been practicing since he was seven years old. Just like that, I became Liang Mingrui. Fortunately, from the second year on, he let me go to the Northern Xinjiang camp. Not living under his nose every day, my position became more and more stable. "

General Guo had calmed down and listened silently.

"But I never knew what Liang Bingwang did. The mute told me that he was the one who killed my father and nanny. I only knew that he was corrupt, but there was no evidence. Also, there are many people from him in the Northern Xinjiang Camp , including those around me, are doing bad things quietly. I still can't get enough evidence. It’s not ignorance at all, so I can provide a general overview of where you start to track him down.”

"You are his son, how can you not be trusted?"

"He is very suspicious. It's not that he doesn't trust me, but he thinks that I'm not as smart as he is, and I'm not experienced enough in doing things. He is waiting for me to grow up."

"Oh."

"He is a very treacherous and vicious person. I can't learn from him in this way. This is why he thinks I'm not smart." Liang Mingrui explained and continued.

"The Zhao Daya and his wife were murdered by Lin Shan two months later. Zhao Erya's man felt that it was not good. He received a pension from the palace, and when he came back, he took his wife to take the family property and ran to the countryside. Lin Shan was afraid. I was exposed, I found a suitable opportunity, I made a small mistake, and I was betrayed by Liang Bingwang. His husband and wife are now missing, Erya and his wife were also killed by Yinhu a while ago, who knew my secret , only the dumb is left." What Liang Mingrui said is that if General Guo doesn't believe him, he can go to the dumb to investigate, but the mole on his back just now has completely trusted General Guo, which is more convincing than the dumb's testimony.

"In the fire in Zhaojiazhuang six years ago, a child was rescued, that is Yinhu. I am the child of my cousin's family. Who is he? I went to see it secretly. The two servants beside him seem to have seen it before. But I don’t know him, the general can quietly get in touch with that big tiger and two tigers, maybe he belongs to my father.”

The last few words made Fuyao tremble with fear, she was almost deceived by Yinhu, and even told him about General Guo, what should I do now?
What Liang Mingrui said next was even more surprising.

"I have never had the courage to ask for your help. I feel that I have no strength. You may not be able to compete with him. Last year I went to play at Nanxi Water in Daying and saw Guo Bin taking a bath. There is a row of teeth marks on his shoulders, which reminds me A person.

The mute said, when my cousin heard about the ransacking of the house, he came to report the news. The nanny asked him to take me away, but left behind her own child, Xiaohui.But after all, it was her own flesh and blood, and the great grief drove her crazy.When the guards came, she opened her hands and said that she was a wolf, and she wanted to kill those villains. She came up madly and bit everyone, and Xiaohui's shoulder was bitten bloody.The guard got angry, pushed her down hard, knocked her unconscious, and took the child away.She died that night in pain and injury. "

Guo Bin was shocked and speechless. He couldn't remember clearly what happened when he was a child, but he seemed to be called Xiaohui. Thinking of the natural closeness he felt when he came into contact with Liang Mingrui, his heart trembled. Could it be that he really Is it Liang Mingrui's nanny's child?

General Guo knew something about it. When Guo Bin was a child, he was dying of illness. Her mother took her everywhere to seek medical treatment. When she came back several months later, she became very withdrawn.She is a widow, guarding a child, and there is no one in the family at ordinary times. Whether Guo Bin has changed people, no one finds out.

"I came back from northern Xinjiang and secretly went to see Uncle Dumb. He said that Guo Bin is my younger brother, my half-brother."

This sentence is even more shocking, how is it possible?

Liang Mingrui's next words made people mad: "He doesn't know exactly what's going on."

Liang Mingrui stopped talking, and the room fell into silence. The three people who heard it were all stunned. They needed time to digest all this.

"I have to go back. If someone will contact Fuyao in the future, if you have something to say, you can pass it to me through her. Just write it on paper and put it in your purse."

"Oh, good! Be careful!" General Guo hugged Liang Mingrui with tears in his eyes, and watched him walk out of the room, jump into the room, and disappear into the night sky.

General Guo stood at the door for a long time, with tears in his eyes, very emotional, and finally pulled Guo Bin into the house.

Fuyao heard Guo Bin's trembling voice: "Is this true?" His Guo family's mother died and became an orphan, so the patriarch asked the general to take him to the military camp. Now, with a different identity, he is still an orphan. He is cold enough, and it is difficult to formulate his emotions now.

"He said, I am his younger brother. I am no longer alone in this world. I have an older brother." After a long time, Guo Bin said in a relieved tone.

"Yeah, you're not alone anymore."

Two days later, Liang Mingrui went to the northern camp.Fuyao made an appointment with him on how to write a secret letter, and he could quickly pass it on to General Guo whenever he thought of it.

------------

In the end, Yinhu bought the site of a brothel.

Last month, Yicui Pavilion, which was on the upper and lower floors, had a booming business. Because the wind blew down the candles and ignited the bed curtains, at least half of the building was burned down. Soon after she let go, her nephew Cui Er spread the word that she was going to sell this family property back to her hometown.

More than a dozen houses in that small street are engaged in this business. Although the Yicui Building does not occupy a large area, there are only a dozen rooms on the upper and lower floors. The small courtyard below is still small, but it is the first one at the street entrance. , this site is still coveted by many people.

The old bustard had no children, and all the property belonged to her natal nephew, Cui Er.When he saw the black broken building burned by his aunt, he was so distressed that he wanted to die. 1 taels became worthless in a blink of an eye. Can he not shed tears?Based on the idea of ​​how much he can collect, Cui Er let out the rumor that he wanted to sell the broken building.

Cui Er never dreamed that Sai Jinfeng, who had the most disagreement with his aunt, was the first to send someone over from Zuixianglou's procuress, and asked for 500 taels of silver.

"Your aunt's land cost only 800 taels when she bought the house together. Now that I take over the land, I have to demolish the old one to build a new one. It's better than a piece of empty land." Sai Jinfeng said arrogantly. .

Cui Er thought to himself, you hate my aunt and are willing to give 500 taels, maybe someone else will give [-] or [-] taels.He smiled and said that he would think about it, hoping to catch bigger fish.

No one expected that Cui Er's fortune would be so prosperous. In just one month, Sai Jinhua himself raised the price twice, to [-] yuan, more than doubled.

Cui Er is beautiful in his heart. My aunt is alive, but she can barely make ends meet by giving him three or five taels of silver every month. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, there is a dark dilapidated building standing on a piece of land, and the land is only two acres of pavement The foundation, someone gave 2000 taels of silver, hahaha, when I saw these people, they looked arrogant at the beginning, as if they were giving alms, but then they had to smile all over their faces, and almost knelt down and begged him for alms. It's so beautiful in my heart, let out the wind, and it must be sold for 3000 taels of silver.

There is no way, as the peace goes on, the price of land in the inner city of the capital is rising day by day, and the inner city is even more priceless, and money can’t buy it. Cui Er is even a little grateful for the fire, otherwise, my aunt will die, and I don’t know We have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

The so-called impermanence of the world, He Zhushan, the city defense captain, drank flower wine with his friends in Yihong Courtyard at this time, and said with emotion after getting drunk: "This prosperous scene of flowers, red willows and green will not last for a few days. The emperor listens It is said that there is such a filthy place as Honghe Street in the inner city, it is very angry, and the city defense will ban it, I think, in less than a month, all the flower houses here will have to move out of the city obediently."

This news made Honghe Street, those old bustards who followed Cui Er's ass around in one day, disappear all of a sudden, and no one was willing to give him 300 taels of silver.

There is a whole small street, either with Yihong Courtyard or Yicui Building written on it, what else can you do at the intersection?No matter how expensive the inner city is, no one is willing to buy a house here, right?As for those who buy and sell rouge, gouache, silk and silk, the big shops don't bother to open a branch here, and the small shops can't afford to provoke those gangsters, so they don't have the guts to come here.

Cui Er turned around and chased after the buyers from the previous few days, asking one after another, seeing that the foundation really couldn't be sold, he regretted it so much that his intestines were green.

At this time, someone came over to contact him suddenly, and Cui Er spat out hopefully: "500 taels."

The man turned his head and left: "I don't have that much money."

"Brother, if we have something to say, how much do you want to pay?"

The man seemed a little shy, and said with confidence, "I only have 270 taels."

Cui Er was very disappointed, and held back for a long time: "Forget it, I'll just cover this place, and selling rouge and gouache is better than cheap ones."

The man turned his head to leave, Wen Ting smiled and said: "You'd better be cautious, when there are no women on this street, who will you sell your things to?"

Cui Er begged and said: "You should add some more, 270 taels of silver, what can this do? I still want to go back to my hometown." He thought for a while, "Go and borrow it, how about getting enough three hundred and sixty taels?"

"Three hundred and four!"

"Brother, please, this land was bought for 500 taels back then, it has already doubled in ten years."

"Don't fool me, did you buy the 500 Lianglian building together?"

Cui Er had nothing to say, so he had to accept the fixed silver of 100 taels, and the two wrote a sales contract.

It was a staff member of General Guo who helped the officials of the city defense to say those words. The inner city is so small that the flower houses are so crowded that the officials have to go out of the inner city to buy a house. Some well-educated scholars have been very dissatisfied with this for a long time. The Guo family used some means to get these flower houses to withdraw from the inner city. The meaning of the street is that this is not a rumor.But Fuyao didn't know why Cui Er was in such a hurry to sell the land, he just needed to hold it in his hands for a while, Hualou left, maybe this place would become a prosperous commercial street, and the land would still be very expensive what.

Obviously Yinhu moved his hands and feet.But Cui Er obediently wanted to be fooled, and no one else could stop him.They went to the county government office together to apply for the official certificate of transfer, and the artisans who built the restaurant entered the site and started working.

Of course, Yinhu couldn't take part in the restaurant's affairs. The shopkeeper Chai Xiangqian he had found was the one who came forward to do the work. Old Chai was very capable. Fuyao saw that the arrangement of his house building was very appropriate, so he didn't bother to worry about it. .

In order to find out Yinhu's secret, Fuyao is more tolerant to him than before. Unexpectedly, he went so far as to make an inch of it and sneaked into Fuyao's small courtyard to live next door to her.Fuyao often wakes up in the morning and sees him practicing qi in the yard energetically, so angry that he turns his head to ignore him, but Yinhu doesn't care, and begs her to make him breakfast with a playful smile.

"What should I do? Your cooking is so delicious. Now I can't eat the food made by Dahu. I can't go out to buy it every day, right? How much will it cost?"

"What the hell are you planning?"

Yinhu didn't answer, but rolled his eyes: "Fuyao, look at me, is there a shadow under the sun?"

Fuyao ignored him, Yinhu asked himself and answered: "Is there any? This fully proves that I am not a ghost, but a human being. Even if I have any idea, it is definitely not a ghost idea."...

"Fuyao, find a husband's family for your sister, do you think Dahu is good?" Seeing that Fuyao was unhappy, Yinhu changed the subject, he knew that Fuyao was soft-hearted and worried about his siblings.

"Not good!" Fuyao said angrily. Actually, this was her previous idea. Now that there are several masters and servants, and their identities have not been determined, how could she have such thoughts?
Seeing that Fuyao kept forbearing, Yinhu became more unscrupulous, often staying by her side all day long, Fuyao soon discovered that he had ulterior motives.

The peach blossoms are blooming, and the cats secretly meet with their lovers at night, often waking Fuyao up, but tonight the cats are fighting, something is wrong, why is there no sound?
Fuyao gently opened the window a crack, and under the faint starlight, two figures were inseparable, one was Yinhu!
The opponent's martial arts are not weaker than him at all, and he is obviously a little afraid of Yinhu's darts, otherwise, the one who might have the upper hand will have to be replaced.

Fuyao fastened the belt of the Xiujian and pulled the spring. Since this saved his life, Fuyao built a second one from the blacksmith shop.

Of course, the parts are made one by one, and then assembled at home. This sleeve arrow can be loaded with three small arrows, which can be fired all at once or one by one.

Two figures moved between the walls of the house, and quickly headed out of the city. Fuyao sent a message to inform General Guo to arrange someone nearby to meet him, and then quietly stalked behind and chased them down.
