A knife in love

Chapter 1138

Zhu Shishi shook his head without waiting for the concubine to finish speaking, and said, "Mr. Liu has already thought about this matter. He asked me to entrust the management to Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu is cautious and loyal to us. Geng Geng, if he comes forward, there will be no mistakes. Which of the several vassal princes directly related to the King of Shu does not have five or six restaurants and pawnshops in Chengdu? Which one has not bought tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city? ? If we open a silk and satin shop in the city and buy hundreds of acres of land outside the city, the yamen will not have any suspicions."

When Zhu Shishi said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "But there is no harm in being cautious. The matter of buying the land can be handled by Uncle Wu secretly. As for the silk and satin village, it must be done after half a year, so that there will be no problems. What a disaster."

After listening to Zhu Shishi's words, the princess finally felt relieved.The couple were extremely happy when they thought that they no longer had to worry about food and clothing.Just thinking of the youngest son being far away, but a little sad.

It turned out that after Zhu Shishi was helped away by the old servant, the short fat man told Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang about his plan.Then he and Li Qiufeng sneaked into the Chengdu magistrate's yamen under the cover of night, and entered the secret room where the magistrate's private property was kept without much effort.Seeing that the room was full of gold, silver and jewels, the two were stunned.According to Humpty Humpty's intention, all the gold, silver and jewelry in the room should be removed, and no money should be left for the dog officer.Li Qiufeng shook his head again and again, and told the short fat man that he could just take the money.If all those gold and silver jewelry and pearls and antiques were also stolen, it would be useless to keep them in their hands, and it would be very easy to show their flaws if they wanted to sell them.So the two first transported six boxes of silver out of the magistrate's yamen and hid them in an alley.Then they were sent back to Zhu Shishi's palace one by one.After dawn, Humpty Humpty and Li Qiufeng told the princess about it.Then Li Qiufeng asked the old servant to buy a carriage, and the three of them wrapped the prince who had recovered from his illness in a quilt, carried him into the carriage, bid farewell to the concubine, left the Chengdu Mansion early in the morning, and headed straight for Mount Qingcheng.

After daybreak, the three of them had already left Chengdu for more than [-] miles.The old man surnamed Huang was riding on the horse, feeling a little worried in his heart.He said to Li Qiufeng: "Feng'er, so much money has been stolen from the magistrate's yamen, isn't it true that the whole city will not be searched?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang. The money is not visible. If the magistrate makes a big fanfare to hunt down the thieves in the whole city, the news will definitely spread. Chengdu is the most important place in the middle of Sichuan. Yushi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are here. There are eyeliners here. If these people report this matter to the capital, the prefect's political opponents will take the opportunity to attack. At that time, it will not be a matter of six boxes of silver. Therefore, although the prefect is heartbroken, he dare not search. If he investigates this matter secretly, he can only use those idiots in the magistrate's office to catch up. When Master and I took the money, we set up more suspicions and would not leave any clues. So Uncle Huang can rest assured."

The old man surnamed Huang said: "I'm not worried about your master and apprentice leaving a loophole. It's just that Zhu Shisi has no power to restrain a chicken, and his palace is only an empty shell. If he accidentally reveals his feet, I'm afraid it will be bad luck." No."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Uncle Huang doesn't know something. According to the court regulations, local officials are not allowed to enter the mansion of the vassal prince without an imperial decree. Extremely poor and lacking in skills, the magistrate will not suspect him if he loses the silver. Even if he suspects Zhu Shishi, he cannot enter the mansion without authorization. Therefore, if the silver is placed in Zhu Shisi's mansion, there will be no What risk. That old servant surnamed Wu has a lot of experience, we don't have to worry about him helping us with things."

The short fat man was sitting in the carriage, listening to the two talking, he smiled and said: "Old Huang can put his heart in his stomach, I see that although Zhu Shishi has no power to restrain himself, he has suffered a lot these years , definitely not a foolish lord. If the money is handed over to him, it will definitely help the poor people."

Although the old man surnamed Huang was a little worried, but he knew the ability of the short and fat man, since the master and the apprentice were confident, he didn't have to worry too much.So he changed the subject and talked about strange things in the world.

Until the evening, the three entered Qingcheng Mountain.Qingcheng Mountain occupies a very large area. Although the world is quite familiar with the name of Qingcheng Mountain, it is because there are many Taoist temples in front of the mountain, and it is quite lively.But the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain is extremely deep, and there are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, so very few people would go to the back mountain to find the seclusion.The three of them drove the carriage into a valley at the back of Mount Qingcheng, and there was no one around.Finally, at the foot of a mountain, the carriage could no longer move forward.Li Qiufeng untied the horses pulling the cart from the shaft, carried Zhu Shishi's youngest son out of the carriage, and followed the short fat boy up the mountain along a secret path.The old man surnamed Huang also got off his horse, leading the mount and several horses carrying luggage and walking at the end.When I got to the mountainside, there was no road in front of me.The short fat man had been prepared for a long time, took the luggage off the horse's back, carried it on his body, turned to the old man surnamed Huang, and said, "We can only rely on our two legs ahead, and these horses will be returned to the forest here." stop."

After the three chased away the horses, the short fat man quietly walked into the woods on the right with two large bags of luggage on his back.I saw him circling in the middle and west of the forest, and after half a stick of incense, a stone wall appeared in front of him.This stone wall is like a knife and an axe, and it looks extremely steep at first glance.

The old man surnamed Huang saw that the short fat man walked under the stone wall, and there was no road in front of him. He thought to himself, there were only rocks in front of him, and the road had come to an end.Brother Liu will never live in a stone wall, right?

While he was wondering, he saw the short fat man clinging to the stone wall and suddenly disappeared.The old man surnamed Huang was shocked and was about to speak when Li Qiufeng turned around and said, "Uncle Huang, we are going up the mountain along a stone step on the stone wall. It's just that this place is extremely steep and the mountain wind is strong. Be careful. You follow behind my master, and my nephew walks last."

The old man surnamed Huang nodded and walked forward.When he got under the stone wall, he found that there was a platform more than a foot wide protruding from the right side of the stone wall. There were stone steps cut out on it, extending zigzagging along the right side of the stone wall.Outside the stone steps is another extremely thin stone wall, like a screen, covering the stone steps.The short and fat man was not tall, so when he walked up the stone steps, he was blocked by the outer stone wall, as if he disappeared into the stone wall out of thin air.

The old man surnamed Huang stood in front of the stone wall and said in his mouth: "You two, master and apprentice, are really amazing. You actually found such a secret place. Just now at the end of the mountain road, ordinary people can only turn around and go back, but they don't know how to pass through the forest. There is also such a steep stone wall. Standing in front of the stone wall and looking over at a glance, you will never find that the stone wall has two layers. Only when you get closer to the stone wall will you find that there is a stone step between the two layers of stone walls. This is really Immortal Cave Mansion, amazing!"

The short fat man had already walked more than ten steps. Hearing the praise of the old man surnamed Huang, he laughed and said, "If it's not such a place, how can it be said that it is a seclusion? It's just that this road is not easy to walk, brother, you have to be careful." care."

The three walked up the stone steps and walked slowly towards the peak.This stone step twists and turns on the stone wall. Sometimes there is no road in front of me, but after walking two or three steps, I find another passage at the corner.It's just that the stone steps are less than two feet wide, and the abyss is on the right, and if you miss your footing, you will fall down.In addition, the mountain wind was so strong that it made the clothes of the three of them rattle, so the three of them were extremely careful when walking.

Before walking up the stone steps, Li Qiufeng had already tied the quilt that wrapped Zhu Shishi's youngest son behind his back. This stone step was a path he walked very well back then.Therefore, even though he was swaying in the cold wind and looked extremely thrilling, he didn't panic at all.The short fat man was carrying two large bags of luggage on his back, and he walked very steadily step by step, as if he was walking on flat ground.The old man surnamed Huang walked in the middle, taking every step with extreme care.Just seeing Humpty Humpty's walking so smoothly, he thought to himself, brother Liu's literary talent and martial arts are few people in the world can match.It's a pity that such a great person became a hermit in Shu Mountain.Such a great sage is missing in the world, what a pity, what a pity.

The three of them walked along the stone steps for more than half an hour before reaching the peak.At this time, the sky was already dark, and a few houses in the depths of the peak could be seen dimly.Humpty Humpty laughed, and said, "We're finally back. Let's put down our luggage later, let's warm a pot of wine first, and let's have a good drink!"
