Xiaozhai in the south of the city.
This place is a gathering place for lowly prostitutes and a consumption ground for poor laborers.
It's not that you can't find wealthy people here. Some officials just like to have fun with the people. Yang Dezu, the third young master of the Yang family, also likes this place very much.
He is a strange person. He likes to have some game after eating many thin horses from Muzhou.
Liu San didn't find him when he went to Zuixiang Tower, so he immediately thought of this.
He felt uneasy because he had Zhou Dagu's real secret, and he didn't know how much money he could exchange for it from Young Master Yang San.
"This secret can be exchanged for at least one hundred taels!"
Liu San raised his head and held his chest high. In this place, he could be called a master: "No, at least one hundred and fifty taels!"
"If I have another hundred and fifty taels, I will go to the Taoist temple to ask for a pill for my mother, and my mother's illness will be cured!"
"I won't be a dog anymore!"
He walked through a secret door and entered a small room. The room suddenly opened up into a hall.
Liu San walked up to the second floor and saw two warrior guards standing in front of a door.
The two warriors obviously knew him and turned their heads in disdain when they saw him.
With a flattering smile on Liu San's face, he reached forward and knocked gently on the door: "Master, I am Liu San!"
"Come in!" Yang Dezu's voice came from the room. He was lying on the bed, his lower body covered with a quilt, and a woman's shoes were placed on the floor.
Liu San didn't dare to look up at him and lowered his head: "Young Master, today's Zhou Dagu..."
"Didn't you tell me that there is no need to tell me about Zhou Dagu for the time being? There is no rush to deal with him!"
"Yes, I'm not in a hurry. It's just that I found that Zhou Dagu's little actions seemed to be detrimental to you!"
Yang Dezu put his hands on the quilt, squinted his eyes and said, "Tell me!"
"He was in school today and started borrowing money again."
"How many?"
"Two thousand taels! He said he wanted to use it for business, and he has already given the ten taels of silver he promised yesterday!"
"Oh!" Yang Dezu closed his eyes and thought in his mind.
"One more thing, he said he will be at Fangcao Pavilion tomorrow to share the dividends!"
"Fangcao Pavilion, that's not Zhu Jinwen's place. Could it be that he contributed to Zhu Jinwen behind his back? That's right. When it comes to wealth, the Zhu family is the richest in the entire Qingxue Mansion!"
"More than that, I followed Zhou Dagu to Zhou's house! Guess what..." Liu San lowered his head and stopped talking.
Yang Dezu pointed to the table: "How much do you think your news is worth?"
Liu San said: "Three hundred taels!"
"What if you lied to me?"
"I'll twist off my head and use it as a toilet bucket for you!"
Yang Dezu threw a Zhuji banknote from the bedside. Liu San crawled over and saw the amount on the banknote. He covered his hands on the ground happily: "Master, only you and I know about this!"
Yang Dezu took a deep breath: "Get out!"
"Yes!" The quilt fell to the ground, he slowly climbed out and closed the door.
Liu San lowered his head and said, "I followed Zhou Dagu to their house. He was discussing this business with the housekeeper at home!"
"What business?" Yang Dezu wondered: "Is there really a business?"
Liu Sancheng nodded fearfully: "Yes, I heard clearly, this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Jinwen, it is Zhou Dagu's business!"
"He first borrowed twenty taels from someone, and then paid back the money to Li Xin!"
"I borrowed one hundred taels, and I will pay it back with clear conscience!"
"Today's two thousand taels are for catching big fish tomorrow!"
Yang Dezu was puzzled: "Two thousand taels! Then we have to pay back two hundred taels. He is a farmer, how can he get two hundred taels?"
Liu San said: "He said someone would give it to him!"
How can he become the third young master of Qingxue Mansion without some real ability? Fools will not harm others. Yang Dezu leaned on the bed and opened his eyes.
"Establish faith, establish heart, and establish actions? He has read the saint's book thoroughly!"
"There has never been a person in thousands of years who has used the Confucian promotion path in this way. Zhou Mingzhou really has a way!"
"This news of yours is worth three hundred taels!"
Liu San nodded and smiled: "Then young master, shall we expose him in front of everyone tomorrow?"
Yang Dezu shook his head: "No! It's a good business, why should we expose him? We want to help him make the business bigger!"
"But if he befriends a family member of Qingxue Mansion, wouldn't it be difficult for us to deal with him?" Liu San was playing the role of a qualified dog.
Yang Dezu put on his clothes: "Do you know why you are a farmer, and why you can only be a farmer for the rest of your life?"
Yang Dezu looked down at his face: "If you want to make something big happen, you have to be ruthless and have a plan!"
"What I want is his business, not his people!"
"If you want to become a noble family, any step upwards will not come from the blood of the corpse mountain!"
Liu San turned around and watched him go away, his eyes unable to hide the fierce look: "Woof!"
The moon is sinking.
The sun rises.
Zhou Youran sat in the yard, watching her eldest brother's door open, and Zhou Dagu walking out of the room and sitting on the stool in front of her.
Zhou Youran was confused: "Brother, you're not going to school today?"
Zhou Dagu nodded and stretched: "You will have a rest today, and you will have a rest every three days in the government school!"
After the scholar passed the examination, there was no longer any knowledge to be learned in the school. The government school was just a place where students asked questions and teachers answered their doubts.
"Squeak~" Zhu Xiaowu pushed open the door: "They are all sitting down!"
Zhou Youran said: "Brother Wu, are you okay today?"
"It's okay, your brother is here, where can I go? There will be a good show today!"
Another door in the back room opened, and Bai Huahong came out and sat next to Zhou Dagu.
Zhou Youran was even more nervous: "Sister Bai, aren't you going to work?"
"I took a day off!"
Zhou Dagu was confused: "Have you gone to work?"
"Yes, after being out for so long, I have to earn some money to spend on my own!"
"Why are you making money? If you are short of money, ask Youran for it!"
"I can't always rely on you to support me!"
"Why not!"
"How long can you take care of me!"
"As long as it takes!"
Bai Huahong covered her face that she had just woken up from.
Zhu Xiaowu stood up awkwardly: "Am I in the way? I'm going to exercise!"
Zhou Youran stood up dejectedly: "I'm going to buy some steamed buns! I didn't cook enough!"
Zhou Dagu waved his hand: "I'm not eating at home today. I'm inviting people to a restaurant for dinner. Our whole family will go!"
Zhou Youran felt that she had done something wrong and was a little embarrassed: "Brother, I won't go!"
"We pay for people to eat at home. If you don't eat, let others eat more?" Zhou Dagu came up with a trick.
Sure enough, the little housekeeper couldn't stand this grievance anymore: "Then I'll go, I want to come back with a full meal!"
Zhou Dagu habitually closed his eyes and meditated for a while. When the sun rose, Wang An's stomach growled.
He opened his eyes: "Brother Dian, have you finished your homework today?"
Xu Dian replied: "It's done!"
"Brother Gu, I have something to tell you!"
Zhou Dagu nodded: "We are all our own people, there is nothing we can't say!"
Baihua's face is slightly red, and Zhu Xiaowu's face is even redder!
Xu Dian lowered his head: "I have made great progress in my practice in the past few days. I feel that I will soon touch the threshold of the fourth and second realms!"
Bai Huahong nodded: "This is normal. You are born with divine power. If you break through in danger, the power in your body will completely explode. The power of flesh and blood that has been suppressed for a long time will naturally feed back to the body."
Xu Dian nodded: "But I, I haven't been able to sleep well these days. I always dream that someone is calling me, and that person is still bald!"
Zhu Xiaowu frowned: "Bald? It can't be the Buddhist group! They are the most difficult to deal with. I remember there is a temple in Qingxue Mansion. You can go to the temple and ask! If it has anything to do with Buddhism, I I advise you to become a monk as soon as possible!"
Wang An was confused: "Why?"
Zhu Xiaowu covered his mouth: "There is a rumor!"
Zhou Dagu was serious. Usually when he heard him say this, the story was basically true.
"Legend has it that there is a mantra in Buddhism, and all those who are haunted by the mantra will fall into Buddhism in this life!"
"This sentence is called, you are destined to be my Buddha!"
"I am a great and promising emperor. I was brought into Buddhism three times by this mantra, and bought out three times by the then royal Zongzheng!"
Xu Dian was confused: "I seem to have heard this sentence in my dream!"
Zhou Dagu was surprised: "No way!"
"Yes, but I said it to others!"
Zhu Xiaowu waved his hands in boredom: "You think you are an eminent monk! This sentence is useless to most people!"
"But! Ah!" Zhu Xiaowu yawned: "I will ask someone to check it for you!"
Zhou Dagu stood up: "Okay, then I'll leave it to Fifth Brother!"
He and Xu Dian were working together in prison, and their affairs were inseparable.
Xu Dian has a high status in this family. He doesn't have to work, but he can use resources at his will.
When Zhou Dagu encounters trouble, Xu Dian will risk his life to take action.
This is called brother!
Zhou Dagu turned around and called Wang An: "Close the door and go have a big dinner today!"
Zhou Youran pointed to the broken bag in the main room: "Brother, do we really not bring any money?"
"I told you, don't worry, someone will pay the bill today!" Zhou Dagu said with a nonchalant expression: "Don't worry, after today, we won't take the two thousand taels seriously at all!"
Zhou Dagu turned to leave, feeling uncomfortable, and pointed at Wang An: "What about that? You take a hundred taels and go out to buy candies later!"
Wang An's eyes widened and he took out the money from his pocket. When he saw the banknotes, he couldn't suppress his nature and liked these colorful things!
A group of people wandered away from home.
The beggar next to the pine tree opened his eyes: "Let's go!"
A group of people appeared out of nowhere.
"Liu San is right! Zhou Dagu is really smart this time!"
"What's the use of being smart? It's a pity that I met you, young master!"
"Master, are we going to Fangcao Pavilion?"
Yang Dezu fanned his head and shook his head: "No! The protagonists today are not us. We went to distract him and influence his singing. Let's go to Zuihua Tower and wait there for Zhou Dagu!"
Yang Dezu took two steps and turned around: "Go in and take his family's money. We are not unruly people. I have to take the money that is thrown on the ground!"
The servants next to him were worried: "Master, with these two thousand taels, he won't be able to report to the official!"
Yang Dezu didn't care at all: "He must dare too!"
"I will keep this secret from Zhou Dagu for the rest of my life!"
"After tonight, he will be my dog, and I want him to step into my leash!"
"Not to mention one thousand nine hundred taels of silver, even if it's his little sister, as long as I ask, he will give it to me!"
Yang Dezu laughed proudly: "Zhou Mingzhou? Now, I really can't bear to kill you!"
