Chapter 49 Wrapping 100,000 Guan at the Waist, Riding a Crane to Yangzhou
"Wrapped around a hundred thousand guan, I rode down to Yangzhou on a crane." Standing in the city of Yangzhou in the early years of Kangxi, Xin Han deeply felt that the city of Yangzhou in this era was full of flowers and prosperous.
Mingyufang by the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is a gathering place for famous brothels. This day is the late spring weather, when the lanterns are first lit, there is a sound of silk bamboo and laughter in the courtyards of Mingyufang, and there are guessing orders, singing and drinking, and there is a scene of peace everywhere.
Xin Han is no longer what he used to be at this time, with a dark braid tied behind his head with a pendant jade silk rope, he is wearing a grosgrain robe, with green jade ring fingers on his hands, his folding fan is shaking slightly, and two people follow behind him. A follower, swaying and swaying, walked on the streets of Yangzhou City with square steps like a rich man.
That day when Ding Hao cut off the black iron chains, Xin Han was trapped on the other side of 'Birds Are Difficult to Cross'. There was an invisible abyss in front of him, and there were many traps behind him, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
Xin Han is not afraid, but he will definitely not be able to pass this "difficult bird crossing" in a short period of time. After looking at the "Deer and Cauldron World" in the Void Ring, he has already communicated and can travel through it at any time. Now he can adjust the time ratio a little, so let's go The time ratio is set as one day outside and one year in the world of Luding.
And set the time to enter half a year before the start of the plot, and entered it without hesitation.
Half a year ago, a masked thief appeared in Yangzhou City. This masked thief specialized in robbing rich and powerful merchants in Yangzhou City in the middle of the night. He robbed countless money.
However, he is also highly skilled in martial arts, and the ordinary nursing home among wealthy businessmen is difficult to fight against him, causing headaches for officials of all sizes in Yangzhou.
Fortunately, the masked bandit Xu had made enough money and disappeared three months ago, which also made the officials headed by the prefect of Yangzhou heave a sigh of relief.
Needless to say, this masked thief is Xin Han. When he robbed the Japanese in the "Jing Wu World", he got a taste of the sweetness of the money.
Of course, those wealthy businessmen are rich, and Xin Han himself is poor. With the peak strength of Bajiquan, there are not many masters in Yangzhou who can do nothing to him. It cannot be said that there are no, at least he has not met. So Xin Han made a lot of money.
With money, everything will be easy. Xin Han spent money to entrust someone to set up an identity from Hangzhou. He said that he was a wealthy businessman who returned from Nanyang.
A lot of money was spent in the past and the matter was settled properly. There are witnesses and material evidences. If someone is interested in checking, they will not find any clues.
"Duofu, how is the matter of entering the flag going?" Xin Han stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked to follow behind.
A follower in his thirties with a slightly dark complexion hurried forward and replied: "Xiao Dezi has dragged an uncle in my family. I heard that he is a cook in the royal palace in the capital. Although he is a distant relative, I have your money to pay for it. The Han army flag is still very easy, after all, you are not the first to buy officials and sell flags these days."
Xin Han took four dilapidated households in Yangzhou City to follow, and named them Duofu, Duoshou, Duode, and Duocai. The person who spoke was Duofu, and Xiao Dezi said Duode.
Dodd was originally from a good family, with a dignified and virtuous wife, and a five-year-old daughter under his knees. He lived a good life, but he was in trouble at home, because his wife was quite beautiful, but he provoked a man in Yangzhou City. The gangster's eyes are hot.
The gangster first pretended to make friends with Dodd, and then set up a scheme to make Dodd lose his fortune at the gambling table. Only then did he show his true colors and ask Dodd to sell his wife and daughter to pay off the debt.
Dodd was desperate and felt sorry for his wife and daughter, so he thought of throwing himself into the river, but was saved by Xin Han who was passing by.
Xin Han secretly beat the gangster to death and saved the lives of the three members of Dodd's family. In gratitude, Dodd became a domestic servant with Xin Han and was loyal to Xin Han. In fact, Xin Han accepted him. All four servants were saved by him,
It is also an honest person to inquire secretly, so it is quite reassuring to use.
Dodd heard that Xin Han wanted to join the flag, so he took the initiative to take on this task. He has an uncle who works as a cook in a prince's mansion in the capital.
After Duo Fu finished speaking, he saw Xin Han nodded, he thought for a while and tried to persuade him: "Master, in fact, Oboi and Heping Xiwang are now openly selling their officials, if the master wants to get a family background and just spend money, why do you need to find other ways?" .”
Xin Han listened and shook his head: "Oboi and Wu Sangui are absolutely not acceptable." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Mingyufang.
Duofu was surprised when he heard Xin Han's negative words, Oboi's power is all over the court and the slave is a big bully, put it aside first, that is, Pingxi King Wu Sangui is a man who supports his own soldiers and is like a prince. I don't know why my master is facing the two Quite repulsive.
But Duofu just thought about it for himself. Xin Han was the one who made the decision. He also knew that he was just worrying about it, so he shook his head and followed quickly.
Xin Han has his own ideas. He used to like Jin Daxia's novels, and he has read The Deer and Ding Ji at least 20 times.
Although when reading a book, he always looks at ten lines at a glance, does not seek deep understanding, and only pursues the refreshing feeling that is popular in the book, but he has summed up a truth about Wei Xiaobao's fortune, that is, hugging his thighs.
As the protagonist in the novel, Wei Xiaobao is the "Lu Ding Gong" in the imperial court, the "Qingmu Hall Master" in Tiandihui, the "junior brother of Shaolin abbot" in Shaolin, and the "White Dragon Envoy" in Shenlongjiao.
It can be said that all of Wei Xiaobao's identities in his organization or power are below one person and above ten thousand.
The reason why Wei Xiaobao was able to achieve this step, apart from being witty, loyal, friends, knowing how to judge the situation, knowing how to be flexible and having a certain amount of luck, the most important thing in Xin Han's opinion is "hugging the thigh".
If he hadn't embraced Kangxi, the biggest golden thigh, would Chen Jinnan have made him the master of Qingmu Hall? Will he still become the apprentice of the abbot of Shaolin? Will he still become the "White Dragon Envoy" of the Dragon Cult?
Everything is because he is a close minister of Kangxi and has great use value. Heaven and Earth will want him to be an internal response to 'reverse Qing Dynasty and restore Ming Dynasty'. Shaolin Temple can't afford to offend Emperor Kangxi, and Shenlong Sect wants him to gather eight parts.' Forty-two Zhang Jing', that's why he has the status of being under one person and above ten thousand people.
Xin Han also planned to go this way. Since he wanted to hug his thighs, he had to hug the biggest one, of course Kangxi. Since he wanted to hug Kangxi's thighs, Aobai and Wu Sangui couldn't even touch each other. Both of them were Kangxi's desires. People who get rid of it and go fast.
A group of people walked into the "Li Chun Yuan" and there was an old "bustard" who came up to greet him warmly. Seeing Xin Han's dignified appearance and luxurious clothes, he knew that he was in charge, but he secretly guessed which family he was from. Don't be negligent. .
Mr. Gui bowed and bowed, and the old 'bustard' apologized and said with a smile: "Young master, you haven't been here for a long time, and your friends are always talking about you."
After hearing this, Xin Han cursed secretly and said, "When did I come here?" But he also knew that the scene in the courtyard probably used the same rhetoric for whoever came.
Without waiting for Xin Han to speak, Duo Fu stepped forward and scolded: "What nonsense, my young master has only recently arrived in Yangzhou. I have never seen you before, but today is the first time I have come here."
The old 'bustard' smiled awkwardly, and cursed inwardly: "Why don't you even understand the words of the scene."
He smiled embarrassingly: "My lord looks familiar, I admit my mistake, don't blame, don't blame." However, I saw a few people dressed up and dared not attack, and they changed into ordinary clothes, and they were beaten out long ago, thinking about which yard in Yangzhou city Don't keep a bunch of thugs.
Xin Han waved his hand to make Duo Fu retreat and said, "You arrange a room first, I have something to say."
The old bustard agreed to personally lead Xin Han and the others into the upper room, and then asked flatteringly: "What kind of girl does the young master like, I will call you here, if you listen to the song, you Let me tell you a joke, our girls can sing songs, but they can be counted among them in this city of Yangzhou."
Xin Han took out a silver bill of one hundred taels and put it on the table: "I am here for no other reason. The day before yesterday I was bumped into by a boy in the street and lost my ancestral jade pendant. I heard that That kid is called Xiaobao, and he lives in your yard. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I’m here today for nothing but to see if your little Bao bumped into my boy. Go and call him. Whether it is or not, the silver is yours."
"This..." The old 'bustard' looked at her with hatred in her heart: "It would be better if this unlucky child didn't die, so that I could embarrass my mother. I wanted to help you hide it for your mother's sake, but I couldn't bear the money. Take the money. It doesn't look good on the face..."
Xin Han saw the embarrassment of the old 'bustard', and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I came here today just to find the jade pendant, and I will neither sue the officials nor embarrass anyone. If Xiaobao is not that child, I will turn around and leave. If it is him If you take my things, I am willing to pay in exchange for it, you see how good it is."
After he finished speaking, he added another banknote of the same amount to the banknote.
The old bustard's eyes lit up, and he smiled and stepped forward to collect the bank note: "Well, well, I'll call you right away, but the young master is a smart little bastard, if he does something, don't scare him before letting him If you run away, you will never get your jade pendant back."
Xin Han smiled and said, "Go!" He saw that the old 'bustard' was somewhat protective, so he nodded with a smile.
After a while, the old 'bustard' shouted and cursed, followed by a child's reluctant voice.
There was a slight knock on the door, and Xin Han put down the teacup in his hand and said loudly: "Come in."
The old bustard from before pushed the door with a child in his hand, and said with a smile: "My lord, I brought it for you, do you see if it's this?"
When the child entered the room, he remained silent and fell silent, but Xin Han noticed that the child's eyes were slyly sweeping around the three of them, and he didn't know what he was planning.
Xin Han knew that this child was Wei Xiaobao, he immediately chuckled: "It's not him, it's my fault that I misunderstood people's words and made a mistake."
After speaking, he took out two banknotes, both of which were one hundred taels, and handed them to the old 'bustard': "Thank you, mother."
Seeing that there was another bank note, the old 'bustard' smiled all over his face: "That's so embarrassing." He said he was embarrassed, and quickly took it in his hand.
Although Wei Xiaobao beside him was illiterate, he had seen a bank note before, and he could recognize the one hundred characters. When he saw Xin Han handing the old bustard a piece of envious saliva, his whole body seemed to be possessed, his eyes fixed on the silver note. Can't get the ticket out.
Xin Han looked at Wei Xiaobao's appearance and smiled, did he know that the person in front of him was someone who copied Oboi's mansion in the future, he had hundreds of thousands of silver notes on him, and the rewards were often tens of thousands of taels of silver the Lord.
"Get the banquet waiting on the table, let me chat with this little brother."
Although the old 'bustard' didn't know what Xin Han was going to say to Wei Xiaobao, he still smiled apologetically and retreated.
"This is for you, it's an apology." Xin Han stood up and walked to Wei Xiaobao, and stuffed the remaining one hundred taels of silver note into his hand.
Wei Xiaobao's hand holding the bank note trembled slightly, and thought: "Where did this goat come from, it's so generous." In the past, the most money he handled was only three or five liang, and this one hundred liang bank note was in his hand I just feel heavy.
Xin Han told the old 'Buddhist' the same set of arguments before, only saying that he misunderstood someone's words, and almost wronged the good man.
Although Wei Xiaobao said in his heart that Xin Han was just a sheep, but seeing that Xin Han was dressed luxuriously but was approachable, it was unprecedented for a person like this to speak softly to him, so he couldn't help feeling fond of Xin Han in his heart.
"Brother, you gave too much money to the old bustard. If you reward such a person with ten taels of silver, you will make her docile and obedient."
Xin Han laughed: "Okay then, you return the silver ticket, and I'll exchange it for a ten tael one."
Wei Xiaobao's smile faltered and he hurriedly put the banknotes into his arms: "Brother was joking." That made Xin Han and Duofuduoshou behind him laugh out loud.
Duofu said: "If you give it to you, you can keep it. If you really want to let you come, you can't come."
Wei Xiaobao said with a sneer: "This elder brother is right."
Xin Han pulled the stool over and asked Wei Xiaobao to sit down: "Meeting is fate, since I misunderstood brother, only paying money is not enough, how about I invite you to drink and listen to the show?"
Wei Xiaobao has always watched others drink flowers and wine, never thought that he could do the same, now this noble young master does not know if he really wants to treat himself to a drink, he is very happy immediately.
"Okay, this is what you said, big brother, so I won't be polite, and I don't know why you are so kind to me, but I'm just a kid who has grown up in the yard, what kind of benefits do you want to get from me?" I'm afraid it will be difficult."
While Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, he did not forget to point out that he really had nothing for Xin Han to take advantage of.
Duoshou snorted and said: "My master's relationship with others is based on his loyalty. Treating you to a drink is to look down on you and take advantage of you."
Wei Xiaobao secretly touched the hundred taels of silver in his bosom and said yes, even if he chopped himself up and sold him, he might not be able to sell him for ten taels of silver, and thought that even if there were not so many, there should be five taels of silver. Thinking that I don't know whether it is worth five taels or not, I can't help thinking that there is really no advantage in eating, drinking and gambling, so I can't help but feel sad.
After thinking about it, no matter whether he is worth five taels of silver or not, but this one hundred taels of silver bill is actually in his arms, isn't he more precious than those who are worth eighty taels of silver.
This thought made Xin Han happy again, and Xin Han and the three looked at his face for a while, depressed and happy for a while, and they couldn't guess what he was thinking. Duo Fu Duo Shou even thought: "This child has gained a lot by virtue of the ground." Money, could it be that you are so happy that you lost your mind and went crazy."
