Chapter 4 The Third Gathering of the Four Spirits

There were no figures at the back window, but there were two figures at the front window. The two white-clothed scribes, who were called Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San by the fourth elder brother, floated into the room. The fourth elder brother smiled and said: You are still worried, are you afraid that I won't be able to handle him?Fortunately, although this tiger's cultivation is not bad, but his experience in the world is poor, so you used the turtle's breath technique of your inner family to hold your breath and hide it from the past!Otherwise, he will not be happy, and it is inevitable that he will spend more time talking.

At this time, Hongxiao walked in with a set of tea sets, looked around the room, seemed a little unhappy and said in a low voice: "Master Hu of the Wei family, has he left?"Fourth master missed his calculation this time.He didn't want to wait for me to pour the wine for him, which is enough to show that I have no charm for him! The fourth elder brother showed a heroic look on his face, and laughed wildly and said: "Hongxiao nonsense, my big and small calculations, which one time failed?"Wei Xiaobao already has at least one son, which has fallen into my hands There was a pause in the voice, he stretched out his hand from the red silk hand, took a sip of tea, laughed and said: "It's not that you don't have magic power, but your magic power is too great, so you scare Wei Hutou, who is just a fledgling and hasn't seen much in the world. Get out of here!As the saying goes, when wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated. He is afraid that when he sees you again, if he is intoxicated and cannot hold back, he will lose face of his parents.You don't need me to teach you how to deal with this kind of hairy boy, you must be able to handle it with ease. If you are close to four characters, it is Miss Hongxiao's fairy rope!

Naturally, Hung Hom wouldn't argue with this fourth elder brother who claimed to be good at calculating big and small, but just threw him a very sultry and charming supercilious look! The fourth elder brother laughed, he stopped drinking tea and alcohol, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Hongxiong's slender waist, with a face full of love, he walked towards the inner room. It turned out that in his pocket, he was carrying a peerless girl like Hongxiong. No wonder he looked down on the vulgar fans Bu Shiren sent to sleep with him The fourth elder brother and Hongxiao entered the inner room, naturally they don't need Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan to accompany and guard them, and their brothers are embarrassed to use the inner turtle's breathing technique, so they quietly hide outside the window and listen to the wall.

Zhou Laosan showed embarrassment on his face, and asked Zhou Laoer in a low voice: Second brother, it seems that there is nothing to do today, what are we going to do? Zhou Laoer laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be fun for everyone to do what they like!"You go and those gambler guards, push a few squares of Pai Gow, kill all four, and win some money from them, while I just sent Bu Shiren to that charming fan with nicknames flying all over the bed, and quietly left behind, Enough to last most of the night! The brothers smiled after speaking, one walked to the front hall, and the other walked to the courtyard.

Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San brothers, one went to whoring and the other went to gamble, another figure floated out of the temporary hotel of the four elder brothers. Just now when Wei Hutou left, his movements were already light and fast enough, but the figure leaving now can be called even lighter and faster! Because, what he used was the extremely rare Fengxiang Tianchi body technique in lightness kung fu! This figure is Gan Fengchi. Wei Hutou came from the back window, Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan hid in the front window, Gan Fengchi hid in the east window, listened to all the conversations, watched all the movements, and also figured out Wei Hutou's identity and the origin of the fourth elder brother. This trip to Yangzhou is a strategic plan for Xinlichun Courtyard and Wei's father and son.

After leaving Si Age's temporary hotel, Gan Fengchi walked alone to the bank of Slender West Lake. At this time, the night was getting dark, he put his hands on the edge of the lake, looked up at Zhongtian Chanhui, and murmured to himself: This son of Wei Xiaobao, Xiu He is not bad for his courage, but his experience in the world is too young. If I don't help him well, how can he be a cunning, poisonous, wise and scheming opponent like the fourth elder brother? Up to this point, I suddenly thought of something again, snorted coldly and said: Brother Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San are obviously not real names, and they all practice vicious and insidious skills. I suspect that they may have disappeared in the Jianghu in recent years Changbai Yinfeng Shuangsha

The Jiangnan hero's voice became colder and colder, and when his eyes flashed murderous, a small boat suddenly broke through the water clouds on the lake and sailed leisurely towards the shore. There was only one person on the boat, who was dressed as a scribe from the previous dynasty. His kudzu clothes fluttered like immortals, standing on the bow of the boat, and chanted: "Water of the Huai River, water of the Huai River, spring breeze blows, spring breeze washes, green is blue, green touches fingers, fish If you don't come, the gulls can't afford it. At the end of the sky, you can see the lone sail but no boat, and the place where the setting sun is about to set is full of sorrows in the world!Worry about the present and the past, but what can I do?Don't let the poets hear the song, I am full of great singers, laughing, drinking, and spring breeze

Gan Fengchi lost his voice when he heard it: Is this Xu Zhongche's poem from the Song Dynasty? As soon as he said a word, the man in Ge Yi on the boat laughed and said: "The person who understands Xu Zhongche's poems must not be a layman!"Such a beautiful month, such a beautiful lake, and I still have good wine in the boat, would you be interested in getting on the boat and pouring three cups together? Gan Fengchi is a drinker, when he heard the word "good wine", he felt itchy in his throat, not to mention that this man in Ge Yi was floating on the lake in a lonely boat, reciting poems to the moon, and he seemed to be very elegant, so he listened to the other party's invitation to drink After speaking, he floated slightly and got on the boat.

Seeing Gan Fengchi boarding the boat, the man in Ge Yi moved into the boat, took a jug and wine cup, and poured it out to serve the guests. As soon as Gan Fengchi smelled the aroma of the wine, he exclaimed in surprise: "Good wine!"Good wine!The origin of this wine is not close, is it Shanxi Fenjiu?Shaanxi Fengjiu?Or Sichuan's Huzhou Daqu? The man in Ge Yi sighed, held up the flagon and said: "Don't care where it is, you can drink it to your heart's content. I have ten jugs in the boat, enough for a hero to get half drunk!"Anyway, regardless of Shanxi, Shaanxi, or Sichuan and other places, they are all dressed up in the country and reduced to barbarians, and they are not old things of the Han family!

Gan Fengchi hadn't heard the words of this kind of survivor who dared to confide in public for a long time, so he stood in awe, stopped drinking for a while, and said to the man in Geyi: "Although the country is lost, the hearts of the people are not dead. Unexpectedly, as soon as these eight words were uttered, the man in Ge Yi shook his head and sighed: When the Manchurians just entered the customs, they were arrogant and tyrannical, hostile to the Han people, ten days in Yangzhou, three massacres in Jiading, issued orders in the Xia Dynasty, and promoted the literary prison. It stimulates people to deepen their national consciousness, and everyone in the world thinks of Han. It is indeed as the hero Shicai said. Although the country is lost, the people's hearts are not dead, but since Kangxi's succession, he has practiced benevolent governance and bought people's hearts. As far as the emperor himself is concerned, it is a rare achievement. A good emperor, but the power of benevolence and softness is stronger than that of the axe, and who will not be chaotic?The hero Gan helps the people save things, and his traces are all over the rivers and lakes. Have you ever heard a sentence of "remembering the homeland and remembering the old Lord" recently?The hearts of the people in the world are probably almost dead!

Gan Fengchi is above the title of the first hero, and he knows that the other party has seen through his origin, so he is not surprised by the second hero Gan. After hearing the words, I broke out in a cold sweat! He raised the wine glass again, but without touching his lips, he poured the fine wine in the glass slowly into the Slender West Lake, put down the empty glass, and once again clasped his fists at the man in Ge Yi, saying solemnly and respectfully: "Ganfengchi is lucky to meet an expert, so I dare not be greedy for the glass, I wish Wen Mingjiao!Mr. Shicai's benevolence and softness are stronger than the ax and axe, and they are indeed like the evening drum and the morning bell, which is thought-provoking!Gan Fengchi thought about the ordinary things, left Yangzhou, went to the capital, entered the palace, tried to use what he had learned to assassinate Kangxi. Hearing what he said up to this point, Ge Yiren waved his hands and laughed, and continued: I thought Daxia Gan was well-versed in literature and martial arts, and he invited you to board the boat because he was able to understand people, and we poured glasses to the moon and confide in each other!Who knows that you are like a common man in the market, and you are going to join the Wild Fox Zen if you are too impulsive! Gan Fengchi was so embarrassed that his face was flushed, his ears were hot, he didn't know how to answer, the man in Ge Yi had already filled the empty cup, and handed it back with a smile: "Alcohol can corrupt the heart, and it can also boost the ambition, it depends on the level of the drinker, and what he is drinking It depends on the quantity!Like this, the wind is clear and the moon is white, friends meet each other, and Dukang is drunk in a cup, so why not have a chat with Xiaozhu?Daxia Gan just let your throat down, listen to me and talk about my superficial opinion! Gan Fengchi knew that being reserved would be hypocrisy, so he took a big sip from the cup, looked at Ge Yiren and said: Mr. Huiyan, I know that my name is Gan Fengchi, and Gan Fengchi is a layman, I should treat Mr. The man in Ge Yi laughed suddenly, pointed to his left eye and said, "Great Xia Gan is very knowledgeable, Luo Dingbo, if you look at my left eye, maybe you can guess who I am?" When he himself called it broken, Gan Fengchi noticed that the left eye of the man in Ge Yi was sunken and blurred! Just as he was thinking about all the celebrities in the arena, Ge Yiren laughed again and said: "Great Xia Gan, don't be fooled, I am a layman, not a celebrity, this left eye is to apologize to Wei Xiaobao, in front of Mr. Gu Yanwu, Poke blind yourself!But if Wei Xiaobao breaks his promise and breaks his promise, and does not do an earth-shattering event for the Han people, it seems that he should pay me an eye! Gan Fengchi has a lot of knowledge and knowledge, and he is very familiar with the anecdotes. When he heard the words, he suddenly said: Your honor is Brother Shu Hualong from the Honghua Hall of Tiandihui Ge Yiren nodded and smiled: Shu Hualong felt ashamed that he was too frugal and acted recklessly when he was blinded back then!So he abandoned martial arts and studied literature, and closed his doors to study. Over the past ten years, his temperament has indeed changed, and his views are different from before! Gan Fengchi knew that the other party was also a fellow of the rivers and lakes, so he let go of his reserve, and smiled at Shu Hualong: "Brother Shu wants me not to participate in the wild fox Zen, does that mean that there is no need to assassinate Kangxi?" Shu Hualong sighed: Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, treacherous eunuchs have been in power, and the emperor has neglected the government. Let the people from all over the world who have experienced bandits, wars, bullying, and massacres live a period of peaceful and peaceful years with the emperor's benevolence, which is what they should have!Why should we be eager to seek merit and destroy those who take risks? Gan Fengchi lost his voice and said: "Brother Shu has been studying for more than ten years to nourish his energy, and he has indeed achieved great success. I hope to hear that Brother Shu must be extremely brilliant and have further ideas!" Shu Hualong said: Kangxi's stamina has declined, and he will not be in office for long!His many sons will fight for power!We use it secretly to cause hatred and conflicts among the races, and among the elder brothers, we choose those who are vicious and jealous, and help them win the heir. !Jianghu patriots, take advantage of the gap to promote national consciousness, just hope that the hearts of the people will not die, there is no need for me to succeed, after a few years, the time is ripe, not only the rivers and mountains will be restored, even the Manchurian people may be gradually assimilated and wiped out by the long and profound Han culture ! Gan Fengchi was delighted when he heard it, nodded and smiled in agreement: "Great!"clever!This is a planned conspiracy, and it is indeed much more brilliant than the blind chaos of bravado and quick success!Kangxi is a good emperor, he is very benevolent and loves the people. We don't kill him, but we don't have any worries about the next bad emperor. We help him win the heir, so that he will first breed hatred among the same race, and gradually lose the hearts of the Han people, and then find an opportunity to annihilate him. Zhang Zhengqi, and expose the righteousness of the nation! At this point, his eyes suddenly brightened and he shouted: I understand, brother Shu's cruel and harsh comments must be pointed out, and most of them are the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who is currently preparing to participate in the opening of Xinli Chunyuan in Yangzhou! Shu Hualong laughed and said: "This fourth elder brother is ruthless and ruthless, and he is extremely jealous. If he assists him to ascend the throne, he will certainly implement tyranny and lose the hearts of the people, but there must also be many people with lofty ideals." , will suffer unforeseen disasters! Gan Fengchi sighed: In order to weaken the man's luck and arouse the hearts of the great Han people, it is a great cause for thousands of years and a major event for the whole people. If a few people suffer a little disaster and make a little sacrifice, they can't take care of it!For example, the fourth elder brother is proficient in martial arts, and there are many good players in the guards. If he wants to get rid of him in the future, it will be extremely difficult, so Gan Fengchi is not afraid of losing his mind, and would rather do it himself! Shu Hualong clasped his fists to Gan Fengchi and said with a smile: Hero Gan is righteous, Shu Hualong respects all those who cherish their homeland in the Tiandihui, thank you for this promise! When Gan Fengchi heard him mention Tiandihui, he suddenly remembered the secret language he heard in the fourth elder brother's residence, so he smiled at Shu Hualong and said: "Brother Shu cultivates energy by reading books, understands the mind and sees nature, and has unique and brilliant views on things. What do you think the fourth elder brother is?" Did you come to Yangzhou to participate in the grand opening of Xinlichun Hospital? Shu Hualong nodded and said: "It's for the opening of Xinlichun Courtyard, but it's definitely not for the Chinese and Western fans in the courtyard that can make clients ecstasy!"But its real purpose is quite unpredictable. I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Wei Xiaobao, the behind-the-scenes owner of Xinli Chunyuan, was the head of Tiandihui Hall? Gan Fengchi drank a glass of wine, and praised with a tall thumb: Brother Shu is really clever, and the fourth prince's intention to come to Yangzhou has been clearly explained by you Then he told Shu Hualong what he had heard behind the scenes in the fourth elder brother's hotel. Shu Hualong smiled wryly and said: In this way, we already have a good understanding of that unrivaled hero, the fourth elder brother, and have drawn up a consistent position to make full use of him!Now the most mysterious and unpredictable person is Wei Xiaobao. Gan Fengchi said: "Brother Shu, how do you say that?" Shu Hualong said: Back then at Siyang Ji, in front of Mr. Gu Yanwu, he agreed to do an earth-shattering event that was in line with the purpose of the Tiandihui and severely hit the Manchus!But after waiting for a few years, there was no movement from him wandering around Yunnan, which made me secretly sigh that with Wei Xiaobao as a person and name, how could he not believe what he said. Gan Fengchi said with a smile: We already know that the backstage boss of Xinlichun Courtyard is indeed Wei Xiaobao, he is finally unwilling to stay for a long time, there is movement! Shu Hualong let out a long breath, and said with a wry smile: Such movements are too far from the purpose of the Tiandihui!Even if Wei Xiaobao really planned to open a famous big kiln to contact people with lofty ideals from all walks of life, but this intention has been seen through by the fourth elder brother. With the Qing court taking precautions, how can they be surprised?What can move?What has happened? Gan Fengchi shook his head and said with a smile: I have a different opinion from Brother Shu about the matter of Xinlichunyuan! Shu Hualong snorted, and asked with a smile on his face, "Could it be that the hero Gan has unique insights?"See that Wei Xiaobao has other deep meanings? Gan Fengchi said: "It's not that there is any deep meaning, but it's that it's meaningless."His incarnation and opening of a brothel are just accidental, at most it is nothing more than a wish in his early years, and has absolutely nothing to do with national affairs. Shu Hualong sighed involuntarily: It turns out that Gan Daxia thinks that Wei Xiaobao is heartless and worthless! Gan Fengchi waved his hands and said: Brother Shu is wrong, even though Wei Xiaobao is naughty, he is also a man of temperament, a generation of strange heroes, how can he be heartless and have nothing to gain?To Chen Jinnan, he has a sense of master and apprentice, with Kangxi, he has a friendship with him, and with Tiandihui, he has a sense of brotherhood. It is difficult to take care of the situation, and it is difficult to take care of it!I don't think he will ever forget the promise of Siyang Ji; something must be done, it's just that the time has not yet come! Shu Hualong said: It's been quite a few years, under what circumstances does Daxia Gan think that the time is ripe? Gan Fengchi said: "Wei Hutou called the fourth elder brother during his night visit. I have already reported to brother Shu about what he said about Wei Xiaobao as a traitor or not. Do you think it makes sense?" Shu Hualong nodded his head and said: "Of course it makes sense, otherwise, how could a shrewd person like the fourth elder brother be persuaded by Wei Hutou?"Even I feel that since Wei Xiaobao has given up the best opportunity, he will never rebel against the Qing court for the rest of his life! Gan Fengchi said: otherwise This is not the word, Shu Hualong was startled when he heard it. Gan Fengchi smiled slightly, and continued: According to my analysis, the reason why Wei Xiaobao never seized the good opportunities to rescue Wutai, visit Wu Sangui in Kunming, and visit Luocha Kingdom far away is not because he didn't rebel against the Qing court, but because he didn't rebel against Kangxi!If a person is deeply affectionate, he must be righteous!Since Wei Xiaobao attached so much importance to his friendship with President Kangxi, how could he underestimate the friendship with Chen Jinnan, the mentor and apprentice of the Tiandihui?From this point of view, after Kangxi's dragon mastered the guest, it was the time for Wei Xiaobao to not forget the old promise and make a difference. Does Brother Shu think so? Shu Hualong nodded repeatedly, laughed and said: Of course!Of course!Of course!Hearing Jun's words one night is better than reading ten years of books!I want to offer two glasses of wine to Daxia Gan! After speaking, he immediately poured wine, and drank two glasses in a row with great boldness! Of course Gan Fengchi also drank with him, and asked with a smile: "Usually there is not one but three toasts. Brother Shu must have some special intentions in toasting me with two toasts?" Shu Hualong said with a smile: "The first glass of wine was made by myself, in admiration of Mr. Gan's meticulous attention to detail!"Especially if that person is deeply affectionate, he must have a sense of righteousness, which is really the finishing touch, and it will open my eyes! Gan Fengchi heard Shu Hualong's implication, and asked with a smile: Listen to Brother Shu's meaning, the second glass of wine, are you toasting me for someone else? Shu Hualong nodded and said: "Wei Xiaobao and I met once in Siyang Ji, and we admired him for a while, we can be regarded as old friends!"The second glass of wine is for Wei Xiaobao, to pay homage to Daxia Gan, thank you for being his confidant, and with just a few words, you can tell his true heart that is not known to the world! Gan Fengchi smiled slightly, they had a few cups of night drinks in the Slender West Lake, researched and solved many major questions and gaps, and they really drank very happily! Tomorrow is the auspicious date for the opening of Xinlichun Courtyard. We will have a grand banquet for guests in the inner garden of the courtyard. Tonight, the four houses of Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong, as well as pavilions, trees, mountains, and Of course, the Lichun Garden in the water has been cleaned up and decorated with colorful flowers, which is full of joy! As the saying goes: money is easy to do things, and money can make ghosts turn the millstone. Mao Shiba was caught off guard and paid a lot of money. He hired the most skilled chef in Yangzhou who is good at changing teeth, and wrote it for tomorrow's big banquet. For Gan Fengchi, he also collected There are a lot of fine wines from all over China, and even old western wines from abroad! Looking at years of painstaking efforts, tomorrow will bear fruit, Mao Shiba is of course happy, but in the Lichun Garden, when walking around with his hands behind his back, his brows are slightly frowned, as if he is 70% happy and 30% sad! This three-point sorrow came from what Gan Fengchi said to him about the four spirits gathering evil spirits and the dragon's might being too powerful! Until now, Mao Shiba only knows that he is a tortoise, Gan Fengchi may be a phoenix, and as for the other two spirits among the four spirits, who is Lin?Who is the dragon again?He can't figure it out! Civil and military officials in Yangzhou, big and small, kept tight-lipped about the identity of the fourth elder brother who was aliased as Jin Siye for the sake of their jobs and heads. Wei Hutou only sent a statue, and did not meet Mao Shiba. Although Mao Shiba guessed from the face and figure of the statue that it was someone from Yunnan, he couldn't guess that the person was regarded by Gan Fengchi as a person in the rivers and lakes. Xianglin, the tiger-headed boss among the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family! The identities of the lin and the dragon are unknown, and Gan Fengchi emphasized that the power of the dragon is too powerful. How can Mao Shiba be suspicious of the lin and worry about the dragon? Today? Taking a closer look, Long Wei's harsh comments seem to be incompatible with Kangxi's always benevolent.Coupled with the thought of Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao's deep and delicate friendship beyond the monarch and his ministers, Mao Shiba's brows were not too wrinkled, and the sadness in his heart was already reduced by five points. Recalling that Gan Fengchi once looked at you, a hard-backed bastard, let me do my best for Wei Xiaobao. After accepting the invitation, I must be there to see if I can save Xinli Chunyuan from doom?For you, you can bear as much as you can, and your heart is a little wider. Five points of sorrow are reduced to three points. Just when Mao Shiba reduced his sorrow from ten points to five points, and from five points to three points, and finally looked at the Lichun Garden, which was full of lights and colorful flowers, with a slight smile on his face, the lights in the garden seemed to be slightly one dark. It seems that it is not an affirmative term, indicating that there is nothing wrong with the lights in Lichun Garden.It's just that a person suddenly came in the garden, the brightness of this person was too high, so that the light was slightly dim when compared with each other! The person is beautiful, and the clothes are also beautiful. If the light is brighter, the luminosity will naturally increase, which makes Mao Shibadun feel bright! This is a young man who is a little strange, but not very strange! It was a bit unfamiliar because Mao Shiba hadn't seen this face for more than ten years!Moreover, more than ten years ago, the person with this face was a doll, but now he is a handsome and tall boy, if Mao Shiba doesn't find it a bit strange, it will be strange. The reason why they are not very unfamiliar is that they met each other more than ten years ago!The second reason is that this face is 80% like Wei Xiaobao and 20% like A Ke!Eight points like father, two points like mother, this is the cooperation product of Wei Xiaobao and A Ke!Of course Mao Shiba is no stranger! Because it was a bit unfamiliar, when Mao Shiba first saw Wei Hutou, he couldn't help being startled, this portrait? Because it is not very unfamiliar, Mao Shibayu was stunned for a while, and then burst out: You are a tiger head, me, me, brother Xiaobao, okay? The friendship between Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi is too extraordinary, and the friendship between Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao is also not ordinary! A friend with an extraordinary friendship, it's been a long absence for more than ten years, and I'm very suspenseful!Therefore, after Mao Shiba recognized Wei Hutou from his appearance as a joint product of Xiaobao and Ake, the first question he asked was my brother Xiaobao, okay? Although Mao Shiba only asked about his father, Wei Hutou didn't want to neglect his mother, and immediately replied with a smile: "Hello, father, mother and mothers, but When it came to the word but, he put away his smile, changed to a solemn expression and said: but grandma died Seeing Wei Chunfang's statue, Mao Shiba knew that something was wrong with her, so it was expected that Wei Hutou said that grandma was dead, and he only sighed slightly: "When people are old, no one will die." Inevitable reincarnation!Tiger head, you are so tall and beautiful!Brother, sister, must also be very good!Didn't they come with you? Wei Hutou regained his suave look, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: This time, it was originally my younger brother who came, but my younger sister helped me and let me come first. After a while, younger brother and younger sister will inevitably go to the Central Plains for a walk Young people care about face, Wei Hutou was embarrassed to say that he came secretly instead of following his parents' orders, so he had to add: Dad, hello to Uncle Maogui! The word Mao Guibo almost made Mao Shiba jump up when he heard it, staring at the two bull's eyes that didn't look like a turtle, he asked in a surprised voice: Did I get it wrong?You call me Uncle Maogui? Wei Hu blinked his big eyes, raised his hand and pointed at the beaming and colorful surroundings, and said with a mischievous smile: "The tortoise industry in Xinlichunyuan is in such a situation. Its owner, the Eighth Lord Wang, monopolizes Yangzhou Fengyue, isn't it?" King Turtle?Besides, Uncle Mao is really like a turtle among the four spirits? Mao Shiba was startled and said, "You also know Siling?" Wei Hutou smiled and said: "Not only do you know, but you know it very clearly!"The tortoise is Uncle Mao, the phoenix is ​​the hero Gan, and the dragon is Mao Shiba saw that he spoke slowly, so he couldn't wait to shout: "You have such a great ability, can you know who the dragon is?"and Lin Wei Hu nodded and said: "The so-called Lin is the hero Gan who has a phoenix in his name. After passing the test, he praised me." Mao Shibaxi said: "Great Xia Gan really has practical knowledge, he is not just a person with a false name!"I was slapped on the shoulder by him, and my whole skeleton was almost shaken apart!You can pass his test, of course you are the tiger son of the Wei family, and also a rare rising Xianglin in the martial arts world!Good tiger, good Lin'er, tell me quickly, who is the dragon?You just came to Yangzhou from Yunnan, and you are not familiar with the place, how can you know the details of the dragon? Wei Hutou and Jianmei smiled slightly: "Since I am Lin, I also belong to the head of the same spirit. I am of the same kind as Long Nai. I don't think there is anything terrible about dragons. I have already touched his residence and met him. We talked a lot in a polite manner Mao Shiba gave Wei Hutou a glance of surprise and approval and asked: Who is the dragon?Could it be the little Xuanzi who came to Yangzhou to visit your father? Wei Hu shook his head and said: "It's not the real dragon of today, it's an evil species among his dragon clan. This person's alias is Jin Siye. It seems that he is cultivating power and trying to win the throne among his brothers." Mao Shiba lost his voice and said, "Is it Yinzhen, this very cruel and vicious character, will he come tomorrow?" Wei Hu nodded his head and said: "Definitely come, definitely come, he and I agreed with each other that Mingda will make a big bet with me in front of guests from all walks of life in Yangzhou." Mao Shiba asked: "What bet?"What are you betting on?Is it gambling?Gambling?Or play dice, Pai Gow Wei Hutou smiled and said: The bet and the betting method have not been decided yet, let's wait and see tomorrow Mao Shiba suddenly lowered his voice, and asked Wei Hutou mysteriously: "Your father is a gambler. Do you know his tricks of throwing dice?" Wei Hu raised his eyebrows with a smile, shook his head and replied: No, even if you know it, you don't need it!Since I am the son of a tiger of the Wei family, I should be a bright and auspicious Lin!Tomorrow, I will bet for Xinlichunyuan, for Yangzhou, and even for the common people in the world, and the fourth elder brother, each with a big bet of luck! Mao Shiba was full of approval, slapped Wei Hutou on the shoulder, and praised with his tall thumb: "Good boy, you are really kind. If you have you, good luck will definitely follow you. Tomorrow, be bold and open your hands!" !You Uncle Mao uses your entire wealth and life as your backing, even if you lose all of my turtle back shell, I will smile without complaint! Wei Hu took Mao Shiba's hand and said gratefully, "Uncle Mao Gui, thank you so much. Since I bet fairly, I may win or lose!"You don't need to support me in terms of money and gambling, but the spiritual support of these few words has already made my fledgling nephew very grateful! Mao Shiba laughed loudly, slapped Wei Hutou on the shoulder again and said: "Okay, you are not bad, your father has been hidden for many years, there are people who miss Wei Xiaobao everywhere in the world!"With you participating in this excitement, it will soon spread everywhere. Everyone knows that Wei Xiaobao himself has become Wei Dabao, and the second generation of the Wei family, Xiao Xiaobao brothers and sisters, will also debut one after another.There have been naughty people in the rivers and lakes, and they have been mischievous for decades Wei Hutou said with a bitter face: In terms of mischievousness, I am afraid that no one can compare to my little sister Shuangshuang, and in terms of trickery and eccentricity, I am not as good as my brother Tong Hammer. Because the skin is too thin, I can't touch it Don't be discouraged, who said you can't touch it?It's not just those who play around with women can be called romantic, neither sticky nor take off, neither heavy nor stagnant, chic and unrestrained, unrestrained, that is all romantic!I hope that tomorrow's meeting between you and the fourth elder brother will be as romantic as possible! Shu Hualong and Gan Fengchi shared their heart and soul on the small boat in the Slender West Lake! Mao Shiba and Wei Hutou, in front of the main cave of the turtle veins on the rockery in the Lichun Garden, chatted with each other! Where's the fourth elder brother?Has he been working hand in hand with Hongxiao to spread the rain?Or discuss with Zhou Laoer, Zhou Laosan, how to participate in the feast of Xinlichun Courtyard tomorrow, and win over Jiang Zuo's heroes? I don't know, no one knows what the fourth elder brother is thinking Although he put his arms around the red silk, entered the inner room, and went to bed, but he never took off his clothes! They got into bed, and after putting down the curtain, the fourth elder brother didn't show any emotion on his face. He first sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and then slowly stretched out his palms towards the red silk! Hongxiao hummed, nodded and said with a coquettish smile, "Yes, tomorrow's event will be big, Gan Fengchi will never be messed with, Wei Hutou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Mr. Wang Ba is hard to know, he looks like an elephant who is good at pretending to be a pig and eating it." The Jianghu expert.Other invisible masters, it is even more difficult to guess one by one!You should be good tonight, recharge your energy and store up your energy, use it in the Ming Dynasty, and keep Jiang Zuo's heroes in your pocket as much as possible!Come, come, let's use barriers to help each other, and dragons and tigers to harmonize each other, let's strengthen each other's Hunyuan power! Obediently, hearing Hongxiao's tone, not only is she beautiful and sultry, her internal cultivation is also astonishingly high! What kind of personal maid does she look like serving wine and sleeping?Judging from the tone of voice and the way people call you, you, it sounds like you are at least a teacher and sister whose cultivation level is similar to that of the fourth elder brother, or even surpassed. Hongxiao also sat cross-legged, her palms stretched out, and the palms of the fourth elder brother's palms were tightly attached to each other! It didn't take long for their faces to shine brightly, and sweat stains appeared on their foreheads and bodies! The location is on the Hehuan bed, inside the gold tent, the characters are a man and a woman, but what they sweat is not wind sweat, but kung fu sweat! A good day is fleeting, and it will be dawn in a flash. This day is a lively day in Yangzhou. Xinlichun Courtyard invites guests and is about to open! Mao Shiba, the eighth prince, is very beautiful today. He has a long robe and mandarin jacket, and a cap with melon skin. He is a king of turtles, not a little turtle carrying a teapot. , and had to bring those very outstanding White Russian princesses to greet the guests with smiles in the garden, and arrange appropriate places according to the status of the guests! There is a strange thing that makes Mao Shiba a little puzzled? That is, all the visitors who belong to Yangzhou official circles, or rich and powerful big bosses, although they are inevitably a little arrogant when they enter the door, after entering the lobby of Xinlichun Courtyard, they immediately restrain their expressions and respectfully Kneel up and bow three times and kowtow nine times! Although Mao Shiba knew that what they were worshiping was the statue of Wei Chunfangyu, which looked quite like Guanyin, but he was still very strange in his heart. Because these visitors, even though they all believe in gods, dare not see the Buddha without worshiping, but they can stop as soon as they want, so why do they all do three prostrations and nine kowtows one by one? Are there no exceptions? Without exception, the bigger the official and the more money, the more afraid of insincerity, and all of them bowed their heads in the dirt, almost bruised and swollen! Mao Shiba wondered in his heart, wondering if Wei Chunfang was born a bitch, but died a hero!This jade statue of hers has such magical powers that the rich and powerful men of Yangzhou who came to Xinlichunyuan may have prostituted her before, but now no one dares to see her and refuse to worship her! This kind of perplexity, although Mao Shiba hadn't looked at it carefully, even if he did, he must still be puzzled because he couldn't understand the mystery. What I didn't look at carefully was that Mao Shiba didn't notice that there was an extra thing hanging on the neck of Wei Chunfangyu's statue. It was the agarwood bracelet that Emperor Shunzhi, the father of Kangxi, often put on his wrist! Even if he made this discovery, he still couldn't recognize that it was the former emperor's imperial property, wouldn't he still be puzzled? But those Yangzhou rich and powerful people are different. As soon as they entered the hall of Xinlichun Courtyard, someone whispered in his ear through voice transmission: "The statue on the seat of the god wears the imperial treasures of the former emperor. Do you see them?" Bye, the crime is deceiving the king, do you want your heads? Mao Shiba didn't know the origin of the agarwood bracelet, but did these rich and powerful people in Yangzhou know it? the answer is negative!Not only did they not know the origin of the Chenxiang bracelet, some of them had sharp eyes, and they could see that the appearance and figure of the jade statue was a bit like an old whore they had once prostituted. But they didn't care about these things, and they didn't investigate the authenticity of the emperor's imperial possessions. One by one, they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and kowtowed immediately! Because they are too shrewd, they can tell the difference between the serious and the serious, and think that kowtowing to a bitch is at best a trick to make people laugh.But in case of deceiving the emperor, it is inevitable that the black hat will be difficult to wear, the head will move, and even the barbarians will be asked! Two benefits are relative to each other, whichever is more important; two evils are relative to each other, whichever is lesser!If these prominent people from Yangzhou were not smart, where would their wealth come from?What is cheek?Wealth is the most important thing, so naturally when you hear the whispers in your ears, you will all become kowtowers who worship whores one by one! Someone is kowtowing, someone is dancing! The one who kowtows is the rich man from Yangzhou; the one who dances is Wei Hutou! After Wei Hutou conveyed his true energy, he saw that these Yangzhou bigwigs were all obedient and kowtowed to the statue of grandma, he couldn't help but feel very happy! Among the three brothers of the Wei family, he is honest and reserved. Although he is happy in his heart, he is just smiling and dancing a little bit! If it was Wei Shuangshuang, he might slap his hands and shout grandma congratulations!If it was Wei Tonghammer instead, he would be rolling with joy and doing somersaults all over the floor! Just when Mao Shiba was puzzled and Wei Hu was dancing, there was a flattering voice from the gate of Xinlichun Courtyard that Fourth Master Jin had arrived! In the past, Mao Shiba must have thought that the so-called Fourth Lord Jin must be a rich and powerful nouveau riche in Yangzhou who had colluded with the government, so he ignored it. But now he has received a secret report from Wei Hutou, knowing that Fourth Master Jin is an extremely vicious and vicious fourth elder brother Yinzhen. For the sake of the future business stability of Xinli Chunyuan, he had to frown slightly and greet him from the hall. . Hey, Fourth Lord Jin is so majestic, all the first-level civil and military officials in Yangzhou, all changed into casual clothes, like a crow holding a phoenix, smiling flatteringly, accompanying him to drink flower wine! Mao Shiba was not far away from the hall, the fourth elder brother strided forward, put his hand on Mao Shiba's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Are you that bastard?" The question was not serious, but the strength in the hand was not light, just a mere clap of five fingers was like adding a heavy stone burden to Mao Shiba's shoulders! Mao Shiba knew that this fourth elder brother had been in Shaolin and ate porridge for the night. Hold your nose, and give it a go! The fourth elder brother increased his internal strength to 80%, seeing that Mao Shiba was still able to bear it, and he didn't show his teeth, so he let go of his hand, laughed and said: "Good bastard!"Your back shell is so hard, not like a bastard with a soft cover, but like an old tortoise that can only live for a long time? Mao Shiba is worthy of being a master of the rivers and lakes. He used to have a fiery temper, but now he is well-cultivated and capable of bending and stretching. After hearing the words of the fourth elder brother mocking him like an old turtle, his expression was calm, and he answered quite decently! He clasped his fists and bowed, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Master Jin, for your golden words!" What the fourth master Jin said can of course be called golden words, and the word "golden words" can also be interpreted as golden words and jade words, which become good praises and good prayers that flatter the fourth elder brother to stand out from all the elder brothers and become the only great treasure! The fourth elder brother was really pleased when he heard it, nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, if I am Jin Yan, I will grant you, a hard-headed bastard, to live until the age of eighty-eight." It's strange to say that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen really has thirteen years of life as the emperor, he just said it casually, Mao Shiba really lived to be eighty-eight years old, and only then did he laugh without disaster and disease like Wei Chunfang under the knees of his children and grandchildren and die! Not to mention the afterword, but to write about the grand opening of Xinlichunyuan, which caused a sensation in Yangzhou. When the fourth elder brother said that he was eighty-eight years old, he lowered his voice a little, and asked Mao Shiba: Where is the real little boss of Xinlichunyuan? ?Where is my tiger cousin? Everyone knows all the details, so Mao Shiba is naturally inconvenient to pretend to be sloppy, he didn't know that Wei Hutou had come a long time ago, and he was hiding in the hall, whispering to the guests, but in order to deal with the fourth elder brother's inquiry , It turned out to be true by a coincidence, slightly turned sideways, and stretched out his hand to give way to the hall! The fourth elder brother thought that Wei Hutou was young and arrogant, and refused to accompany Mao Shiba to greet him, but was waiting in the hall, so he smiled slightly and walked in with great strides! 才進大廳，便自一怔，目光發直的，盯在韋春芳玉雕像的頸項之上！ 他認得這沉香手串，知道是他祖父順治帝經常佩懸腕間的貼身御物！ 眾子爭嫡，除了在才能上，要有出眾表現外，尤其在德行上不能有顯著瑕疵，不然，怎麼可能會獲得康熙偏愛！ 故而，這些阿哥們，至少在眾人眼目之前，一個個都盡量的敦品勵行，使自己具有人君之表，誰也不敢明目張膽的有所不忠不孝！ 四阿哥深明此理，那裏還用得著韋虎頭向他耳邊傳聲？在認出沉香手串的來歷後，立即朗聲道：先皇御物在此，你們隨我下拜！ 一句話兒，爬滿了滿地磕頭猶如搗蒜的揚州文武官員！ 四阿哥拜罷起身，向茅十八笑道：廳中這多賀客，酒肉喧嘩，又煩又俗，我看你廳外麗春園的景色不錯，何不在園中擺上一席，吃喝起來，有趣隨便多了！ 四阿哥是絕頂聰明之人，他叫茅十八設席園中之意，主要是避開那沉香手串！因有此物供在神案之上，自己萬一酒後言行失慎，容易構成不孝，甚或欺君，再若被甚耳朵尖、鼻子長的多事言官，在父皇康熙前，參奏一本，便可能龍心失寵，把只快煮熟的鴨子，硬給飛上天去！ 園中設宴不難，茅十八立刻命人在假山之下魚池旁邊，擺了一桌上佳筵席，但由誰奉陪這位顯然極難伺候的金四爺，卻有點煞費躊躇！ 這時，韋虎頭當然業已自動出現，四阿哥遂一把拉著韋虎頭，向茅十八笑道：我要和小老虎親近，你這老王八，去廳上應酬俗客！ 茅十八心中叫苦，因覺韋虎頭畢竟太嫩，若無自己在旁，不知會中了四阿哥這塊老薑的什麼陰險惡毒圈套 為難之下，突然得計，含笑說道：回金四爺的話，還有一位不俗的高明人物，似乎可同龍虎之席 龍虎之席又是投人所好的適當奉承用語，使四阿哥聽得一笑問道：在你這老王八綠豆眼中的高明人物是誰？ 茅十八那裏在乎他的輕薄用語？應聲答道：江南大俠 這江南大俠四字才出，四阿哥已揚眉接口笑道：是甘鳳池麼？我知道他人在揚州，正思結識，趕快請來同飲！揚州父母官，不妨留下，周老二喜歡倚紅偎翠，陪我喝酒，定可見識些老王八派來侑觴的新麗春院上等貨色，周老三和其餘的人，都去大廳以內，或賭或嫖，征歌選色，你們盡興鬧吧，反正開銷方面，我已送了一筆千兩黃金大禮！ 周老三和圍繞在四阿哥身邊趨炎附勢的那群揚州官場蒼蠅，剛剛散去，便有個清朗語音，接口說道：千兩黃金，算得什麼大禮？清軍剛剛入關，便由於史可法梅花精忠，抗清太烈，弄了個揚州十日，殺人之多，便把偌大的麗春園，改成一座墳墓，也未必埋葬得了！ 四阿哥遣去眾官，獨留揚州父母，使那換了便衣的揚州府尊，正有點受寵若驚，詡詡自得之際，一聞此言，著實驚出了一身冷汗！ 因為這幾句話兒中，反清復漢的意味太濃，四阿哥若一翻臉，發作起來，豈不立刻便是滔天禍事？ 但四阿哥居然沉得住氣，根本毫未發作！ 他不必問，已知膽敢當眾這樣發話的，是何許人。遂微一偏頭，向一位不知何來，業已大模大樣坐在席中，身著布衣的清秀中年人笑道：在甘大俠的眼中，慢說千兩，就是萬兩黃金，還不一樣庸俗？甘大俠言中之意，認為清廷負揚州太多，你叫我送筆什麼樣的禮呢？ 當初曾屠城十日，既已定鼎，何不免上十年錢糧？不過金四爺目前還在潛蟄之時，無此權力，等你獨秀昆仲，成了金大爺時，再對揚州頒送這筆禮吧！ 話中的隱語玄機，四阿哥當然領會得來，有點眉開眼笑！ 因為，平常人對他奉承，不過略微使他高興，但甘鳳池這等名震八荒的江南大俠，都認為他將來有九五之尊，可以成為金大爺，意義便太不尋常！ 甘鳳池會如此庸俗麼？ of course not! 這是由於他與舒化龍，在瘦西湖扁舟縱酒，對月深談以後，認為不妨先幫秉性凶殘陰狠的四阿哥奪嫡，以便挑起其弟兄間的相互敵視仇恨，削弱滿族團結，並激勵耽安已久的華夏將死人心，逐漸聚合四海有心人士，喚醒黃魂，等待有利時機，一夫起而天下應，方可雪恥復國！ 有了這種成功不必在我，而在長期計畫的用意深遠共識，甘鳳池所說金四爺獨秀昆仲，成為金大爺之語，便非庸俗無謂奉承，而是含蘊深意的有心之語！ 四阿哥再陰再鬼，也猜不透甘鳳池曲曲彎彎的心底真意，他非常高興，也非常豪邁的，揚眉笑道：好，好，只要我成了金大爺，有此權力，一定敬從甘大俠之言，寬免揚州十年錢糧 話方至此，甘鳳池搖手叫道：慢點，慢點，揚州是富庶之地，十年錢糧，為數不少，你不必平白犧牲，至少也撈個相當代價才對 四阿哥方聽得有點莫名其妙，甘鳳池已頓住話題，目注韋虎頭笑道：虎頭大俠，你不是想和金四爺痛痛快快賭一賭嗎？這寬免揚州十年錢糧，豈不就是一件極豪華，並極有意義的上佳賭注？ 韋虎頭將離雲南之夕，他妹子韋雙雙便有等我和二哥，也來中原之時，大哥多半已成了名震江湖的虎頭大俠之語，如今居然又聽甘鳳池叫他虎頭大俠，不禁咦了一聲問道：甘大俠怎會知道我想和這位金家四表哥，大大的賭一賭呢？ 為了想作明人，有時難免要作點暗事，昨晚這位揚州父母官的小舅子帶些庸俗粉頭，去奉承金四爺時，你這虎頭大俠，曾藏在後窗，這位多半並不姓周的周老二，和他兄弟，藏在前窗，我則藏在東窗，自然對你從窗外人，變為座上客，和你金四表哥互相見面的一切情事，連聽帶看，弄得清清楚楚！ 這一番話兒，聽得三個人的心中，都有點不太舒服！ 韋虎頭胸無城府，一片率真，他不單不會不舒服，反而有點感激，有點慚愧！ 感激的是甘鳳池隱身東窗，多半是為了照拂自己，生恐四阿哥龍威太厲，自己初出江湖，不是對手！ 慚愧的是東窗、前窗兩處藏人，自己居然毫無所覺。足見江湖經驗，和修為火候，兩皆有所欠缺，亟待磨練充實！ 心中有點不舒服的三個人，是四阿哥，揚州府尊，和周老二。 四阿哥以為自己有一身絕藝，從行人物個的紅綃，周家兄弟，均非等閒，居然仍被甘鳳池來去自如，聽了看了不少機密，自然心內怏怏，雙眉微蹙！ 揚州府尊則一再心中暗叫不妙，深覺甘鳳池這等江湖人的本領太大，自己一切貪瀆的暗室虧心，怎能逃過這等人物耳目，今後行為，務須特別避慎檢點一些！ 周老二是為了甘鳳池說他多半不姓周，有點不大舒服！暗忖：這甘鳳池難怪威震江湖，名滿大江南北，著實太厲害了！自己兄弟與他向無半面之緣，為何竟看得出自己的真實來歷，而有多半不姓周之語？ 就在四阿哥、揚州府尊、周老二三人心中都各自有點不大舒服之際，韋虎頭卻向甘鳳池問道：甘大俠，要賭，便須公平！寬免揚州十年錢糧，是他的賭注，天平的這一端，確已十分沉重，則另一端的份量，也不能輕，我身在客中 甘鳳池搖手截住韋虎頭的話兒，目注四阿哥道：你 一個你字才出，四阿哥便接口笑道：我的賭注，是你想出來的，乾脆連虎頭大俠的賭注，也請甘大俠一併決定了吧！ 甘鳳池眼珠一動，含笑說道：虎頭大俠若輸，便要他盡力幫你取得可以寬免揚州十年錢糧的權力如何？
