Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 33 The whistleblower is called Sima Qian
"I just mentioned Liu Ji and Liu Laosan a few days ago. I didn't expect it to be Cao Cao. Cao Ren sent Xiahou Dun here."

While muttering these words in his heart, Xiang Kang's right hand shook slightly, wanting to touch the handle of the sword at his waist without hesitation, but when his fingertips just moved, Xiang Kang stopped again, wondering in his heart: "I What do you want to do? Take the opportunity to kill Fan Kuai? Why should I kill him?"

Thinking about it more carefully, Xiang Kang found that he was indeed a little too impulsive, because although Fan Kuai is indeed the enemy of the old Xiang family in the future, but the two sides have not yet feuded, and the troubled times have not officially begun, Xiang Kang has no reason and no way Regardless of the consequences, directly kill Fan Kui.More importantly, Fan Kui was also one of the founders of the Han Dynasty, one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history. He was a hero and hero among the Han people. He felt guilty for killing him directly for no reason.

Thinking of this, Xiang Kang not only restrained the impulse in his heart, but also showed a kind smile on his not-so-ugly face, and said very sincerely: "Fan Zhuangshi, who has been admired for a long time, is like a thunderbolt. I can see you today. I am lucky in my next life."

"Haha, Mr. Xiang is really good at telling jokes." Fan Kui's character is as straightforward as in the film and television drama, he laughed and said: "An unknown person in the lower district, how dare he be regarded as a thunderbolt, you are exaggerating."

"The strong man is polite, there is no exaggeration at all." Xiang Kang said again sincerely, and then greeted: "The strong man please sit down, the place is simple, and there is nothing prepared in advance. The strong man will just take a sip of hot soup (boiled water) , we will go to the wine shop to drink in a while."

Fan Kui readily agreed, first sat down with Feng Zhong and Xiang Kang on the spot, and then said to Xiang Kang: "Master Xiang, I am a rough man, so I just said it directly, I want to buy sixty knives from you and go to Pei County , for our official errands in Peixian County, but I think your price is a bit expensive, I want to ask you to give me some price, and sell it to me at a cheaper price, and I promise to buy more in the future."

"How much does the strong man want from me?" Xiang Kang asked.

"How about a handful of five hundred dollars?" Fan Kui answered very directly, took out another cloth bag, and said, "If possible, I will pay now, in gold."

"It's too low." Xiang Kang shook his head resolutely, and said: "Fan Zhuangshi, I think you should have inquired about the price in Xiaxiang City. The knives from Shiling Pavilion are sold for 820 yuan a piece in Xiaxiang City. You Come here directly to buy, we will give you [-] yuan, which is already considered very low, and it is really not that much."

"Yeah, it's too low." Feng Zhong also said, "Well, since everyone is an official post, I'll make the decision and give you [-] yuan less, how about it?"

"It's too expensive." Fan Kui smiled wryly, and said, "I don't have that much money in my hand, so I ask Mr. Xiang and Feng Youkuo to be merciful and give me a little more price, so that I don't make this trip in vain."

"Fan Zhuangshi, we also want to get back our capital." Feng Zhong shook his head and said, "Young man, you can ask other merchants to see if we have given them the price? We can give you [-] yuan for a knife, really It’s already for the sake of your Peixian Cao Prison’s face.”

It should be that there is really not that much money, so Fan Kui continued to bargain, insisting on asking Xiang Kang and Feng Zhong to make some more concessions, Feng Zhong bargained, although he also gave Fan Kui some more, but the concessions were not big, and said: " Fan Zhuangshi, it doesn’t matter if you don’t bring that much money, you can buy as much as you can, and I’ll tell you about the situation when you go back, and you won’t be late if you bring enough money to buy again, anyway, Pei County is not too far from here.”

Fan Kuai rubbed his hands to calculate, and then said after a long while: "Feng Youkuo, Mr. Xiang, is this okay? I will buy sixty pieces at the price you asked for, but now I can only pay you fifty gold in advance, which is short of your money. , How about replenishing you next time?"

After all, Fan Kui quickly added another sentence, saying: "Feng Youyu, Mr. Xiang, don't worry, I, Fan Kui, are not the kind of people who don't pay back the money I owe, and I will definitely make up for what you owe. With our prison guard Cao, you don't have to worry about it." Will I renege on my debt?"

Feng Zhong really didn't dare to rest assured about this matter, and he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization. He could only turn his eyes to Xiang Kang who was next to him. I have to discuss it with Brother Feng. How about this, anyway, sixty knives can’t be struck out in a day or two, Fan Zhuangshi, why don’t you stay in Lingting Pavilion for a few days, how about I discuss it with Brother Feng and give you an answer?”

Fan Kui readily agreed, and then Xiang Kang invited Fan Kui to accompany him and Feng Zhong to the wine shop in Shiling Pavilion for a drink. Fan Kui, who loves to drink, was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly expressed his treat, and immediately got up to find a place to drink.
After chatting and laughing with Fan Kui and Feng Zhong, when they arrived at the wine shop in Shiling Pavilion, out of respect for Fan Kui, Xiang Kang, who already had some money in his hand, paid out the money first, and ordered the wine and dishes to enjoy with Fan Kui and Feng Zhong , The three of them talked very happily. During this period, intentionally or unintentionally, Xiang Kang suddenly mentioned a certain pavilion chief in Pei County who had fled prisoner, and asked Fan Kui seemingly casually: "Zhuang Shi Fan, I heard that there is a man named The head of Liu Ji's pavilion dared to release the prisoners who went to work in Mount Li, and even brought some people to Mount Mangdang to become robbers, is this true or false?"

"It really happened." Fan Kui replied casually: "In our place, there is such a pavilion chief, and he did such a thing. I have seen that pavilion chief."

"Then Fan Zhuangshi, what is your relationship with that pavilion chief surnamed Liu?" Xiang Kang asked curiously again.

"I've only met, but I don't know each other, and I don't have any acquaintances." Fan Kui replied casually: "That Liu is a well-known rascal in our Pei County. , I often owe a whole lot of debt, and I don’t bother to talk to people like that.”

Hearing this, Feng Zhong couldn't help but laugh a little, and secretly glanced at Xiang Kang who was taking the Xiang family's children to eat and drink around, and said to himself that it's a good thing that this place is a sham, if the head of the pavilion named Liu Ji is also here , there must be two gangs of scourges if you look good.Xiang Kang also smiled, very happily.Then Xiang Kang turned to Mrs. Chen, the owner of Shilingting Restaurant, and asked, "Ms. Chen, is there any dog ​​meat?"

Hearing the word dog meat, the muscles on Fan Kui's face, which is very famous in a certain way, couldn't help but twitch slightly, and Mrs. Chen replied: "No, if you want to eat dog meat, the next time you kill a dog, Mrs. I will tell you."

"How about killing a dog for me tomorrow? I can pay the deposit first." Xiang Kang said with a smile, "I want to invite my brother, and this strong man Fan and Brother Feng to eat dog meat tomorrow."

Aunt Chen immediately agreed, and then smiled and rejected Xiang Kang's offer to pay the deposit first, but Fan Kui was beating his heart. He glanced at Xiang Kang with a mysterious smile, and thought to himself: "What's going on? Could it be a coincidence? He wants to invite me to eat dog meat? Does he know that I actually killed dogs? Impossible? Pei County is so far away from here, how could this little Zhuzi know that I killed dogs in Pei County?"

Fan Kui, who is rough on the outside and thin on the inside, guessed Xiang Kang's thoughts correctly this time. In fact, as early as when Fan Kui answered that he had no friendship with Liu Laosan, Xiang Kang, who knew that Fan Kui was Liu Laosan's brother-in-law, already understood in his heart——Qin Fan Kui, the famous puppy nemesis at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, did not buy weapons for some official in Pei County, but bought knives for Liu Laosan, who had become a robber!And Fan Kui must have joined Liu Laosan's Mangdang Mountain bandit gang!
"How should we take care of this puppy nemesis? Of course you can't sell him for a reward." Xiang Kang thought in his mind, and secretly said: "Sixty steel knives, say a lot less, not a lot more, will come to the battlefield It can't play any decisive role. I can sell him and Liu Laosan to help him. But why should I sell him? Why should I help him and Liu Laosan and the old Xiang family in the future? enemy?"

Thinking about it, a thought suddenly came to Xiang Kang's mind, and he said in his heart: "This favor can be done, but it can't be done in vain. I have to use this puppy nemesis to do a big thing for me first! One thing between me and Xiang Kang It’s a major event that even the children of the family can’t directly do!”

Quickly made up his mind, Xiang Kang's not-too-ugly face of course smiled more cordially, and kept persuading food and wine while talking and laughing, and soon got Feng Zhong, who had a mediocre drinker, drunk, and then Under the pretext of sending Feng Zhong home, he and Fan Kui took Feng Zhong to the pavilion of Shiling Pavilion, and justifiably lived with Fan Kuai in the village police station of Shiling Pavilion for the night. ——Not to mention, Fan Kui really deserves the evaluation of boldness and carefulness. Even though he was carrying a case on his back and was holding half-truth biography in his hand, Fan Kui still accepted Xiang Kang without hesitation. He and Xiang Kang moved into the Shilingting Police Station, which is full of police officers from the Qin Dynasty.

It was night, and Xiang Kang and Fan Kui lived in the guest house of Shiling Pavilion together. After confirming that there was no outsider eavesdropping in the dead of night, Xiang Kang smiled and said to Fan Kui who was lying next to him, "Zhuang Zhuang, would you like to get along with me?" You talk a few words."

Xiang Kang answered that Fan Kui's snoring was still thunderous, but Xiang Kang smiled more cordially, and said in a low voice: "Fan Zhuangshi, don't pretend, I know you are pretending to sleep, don't worry, I won't expose you, I will There is something I want to discuss with you."

Fan Kui's snoring rhythm was a little disordered, but he still didn't move. Xiang Kang didn't bother to talk to him, but said in a low voice to himself: "Beside the prime minister, there is a place called Ling County, where there is a man named Shan You Wei, his son is called Shan Fan. He used his father's power to act recklessly, bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil. Not only did he bully the local people at every turn, but even his wife died at his hands. I also Their father and son have enmity, and they still want to get rid of the bully Shan Fan, Fan Zhuangshi, can you help me with this?"

Fan Kui was still snoring like thunder, but Xiang Kang shook his head in disappointment, and said in a low voice, "Well, since the strong man refuses to help, I will not force you to leave."

After saying that, Xiang Kang, who believes that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, got up, picked up his saber and went out. As a result, when he took off the latch, Xiang Kang said, "Master Fan, you returned to Mangdang Mountain. Now, please tell me something for Liu Ji, Ting Zhang Liu, that is, I admire him very much, and I hope to have a chance to meet him in the future and have a good drink."

Before Xiang Kang could say anything, Fan Kui's snoring stopped abruptly, and he immediately sat up and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

"Strong man, why do you need to force me to tell the truth?" Xiang Kang smiled and said in a low voice: "Actually, I already knew that you and Liu Ji, who escaped from prison, were life and death friends. The official sent to sell knives, you are going to buy knives and go to Mangdang Mountain for Liu Ji's people to use."

Fan Kui jumped up and quickly went to get his sword. Xiang Kang, who knew how powerful he was, said quickly: "Don't move, I don't mean anything malicious. If I want to expose you, I will speak up in front of Brother Feng during the day." gone."

"What do you want to do?" Fan Kui asked hoarsely, holding his sword tightly.

"I want to make a deal with you." Xiang Kang said calmly, "You help me kill that Shan Youwei's son. I won't expose you, and I guarantee that you can take away sixty knives with fifty gold."

Fan Kui hesitated, and asked after a long while, "Is that man with the surname Shan really as hateful as you say?"

"It's only more hateful than what I said." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "It really takes some time to prepare sixty knives for you. Before that, you can go to Ling County to find out who the surname is. People, let's see if it is worth your shot to do justice for the sky."

Seeing that Xiang Kang answered confidently, Fan Kui also believed it a little bit, and said after a little calculation: "Okay, you prepare a knife for me, and I will go and find out. If that man with the surname Shan is really worthy of killing as you said, I will kill you." Do you this favor!"

"Thank you, strong man." Xiang Kang cupped his hands to thank him, and said: "The strong man rests, I'm going back first, and I want to think about how I can help you get rid of that bully with the surname single, and let you get out of your body and bring you back safely." Return to Mount Mangdang with a knife."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Kang, who didn't dare to be in the same room with Fan Kui, took off the latch and opened the door to go out. Fan Kui hurriedly greeted him, "Wait, I want to ask you a question. How do you know about me?"

"It was a man named Sima Qian who told me." Xiang Kang answered the truth, and then said nonsense: "He is from your Pei County, and told me about you and Liu Ji. I respect your righteous deeds very much. That's why I didn't expose your identity."

After saying that, Xiang Kang opened the door and left, leaving Fan Kui dumbfounded in the guest house of Shiling Pavilion, muttering: "Sima Qian? Is there a man named Sima Qian in our Pei County?"
