Chapter 8 Entering the Tiger's Den

Seeing them walking downstairs, Yu San sighed and said, "Celebrity, the evil man has left, but what should the female guest officer do?" Guo Rong was not used to him calling him "Celebrity", so he told him his name. Yu San said, "Master Guo, I will call you Master Guo in the future." Guo Rong said, "Master Guo is so ugly. Why do you call others 'Master'?" Yu San smiled awkwardly: "Our servants call the uncles, and they must be called 'Master'." Guo Rong said, "You don't need to call me 'Master', I'm younger than you.

.Don’t call someone else ‘Master’ in the future, why do you say two generations shorter than others?” Yu San still smiled awkwardly, but didn’t care about his words. Yu San said, “Then call you ‘Master’, what?” When Guo Rong heard that “Master” was much better than “Master”, he said, “It’s great, it’s better not to call ‘Master’ anyway.” Yu San said, “Young Master Guo, the female guest official was captured by Mr. Zeng San, what should I do?” Guo Rong said, “That’s my senior sister, the surname is Yan and Fang, don’t call the female guest official.” Yu San asked hurriedly: “What?

How to save Miss Yan?" Guo Rong asked, "Who is that young master Zeng San?" Yu San said, "He is the third young master of Zengjiazhuang. There are five young masters in Zengjiazhuang, named "Xiongwei Jia Guoxing". Four daughters are named "Niqiao Linglong". There are hundreds of servants. Miss Yan was arrested, what should I do now?" Guo Rong said, "Didn't you say you are very familiar with Zengjiazhuang? If you let me get into the village, I have a way to save my senior sister." Yu San touched his head and said bitterly: "The people from Zengjiazhuang are you?

It is not easy to mess with, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out of rescue." Guo Rong said, "Don't worry about saving people, just let me get in." Yu San said, "Okay, let's go find Master Sun Si." Guo Rong asked, "Who is Master Sun Si?" Yu San said, "The master in Zengjiazhuang is responsible for fishing. We all call him Sun Si Master Sun Si. You should call him that too, otherwise he will be unhappy and want to hit someone." Guo Rong naturally agreed. Yu San took Guo Rong down to Yueyang Tower, went out of the west gate, and headed straight to the shore of Dongting Lake.

Besides, Yan Fang followed Zeng Jia to Zengjiazhuang, thinking about how to find out where the Nine-generation Baoyu is next. This move is called "How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den", which was also what she thought of herself temporarily. Looking at Zeng Jia's miserable appearance in front of her, she felt funny. She couldn't bear it for long, and couldn't help laughing out loud. Zeng Jia heard it and said, "Stinky woman, what magic did you use? I can't even walk?" Yan Fang said, "You call me "Auntie" three times, and I'll spare you." Zeng Jia did not give in and said, "Don't think about it! My eldest brother-in-law's martial arts are superb, and he has his own way to remove your monsters.

Dharma. After the demonic magic is lifted, let me see how I deal with you." He looked back at Yan Fang, and saw that although she was not a stunning beauty, she had a unique flavor and was still charming. The martial arts practitioners had a different flavor. Zeng Jia couldn't help but say, "A beautiful woman like you came to the door by herself, but don't blame me." After saying that, he burst into laughter. Yan Fang knew that he was ill-behaved, but was not afraid, and said, "Look at what you can do?" She suddenly remembered Yu Sanshu, the eldest son-in-law of the Zeng family, was the eldest son of the Wen family, and she didn't know how profound the "Flying Fish Magic" created by the Wen family was, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Yueyang Tower is not too far from Zengjiazhuang. It takes only half a cup of tea to reach the gate. Seeing the two big golden characters "Zeng Mansion" written on the lintel, it is indeed extraordinary. At the opening of the door, an old servant saw his young master come back in such a mess. He couldn't help but ask, "San Young Master, what's going on?" Zeng Jia said, "Go and call my brother-in-law over, I'll wait for him in the front courtyard." Everyone in the Zeng family knew that the eldest son-in-law was very skilled in martial arts. When the elderly servant saw this, they immediately ran away. Zeng Jia and others walked through the front courtyard and came to the front courtyard. Yan Fang saw that there were mountains and waters in the house, the corridor was wide and quiet, the pavilions were elegant, and the flowers and plants were still not completely withered. It was indeed a wealthy family.

Sitting in the front yard, Zeng Jia did not allow Yan Fang to sit down, but asked her to stand not far away from him, looking at Yan Fang with a squinted look, thinking a little in her heart. After a while, a footstep came quickly. Yan Fang could hear that although the footsteps landed soundly, the land fell lightly and evenly, as if passing by, and it was obvious that the person who came was a martial arts master.

At the door opened, a man of medium figure flashed in. But he saw that the man was heroic, with bright eyebrows and eyes, broad mouth and straight nose, and was not strict and mighty. Yan Fang said in his heart: "Is this person the eldest brother-in-law of Zeng Sanshou? He is no less heroic than his eldest brother!" In her heart, the eldest brother was tall and mighty, and he was a first-class hero. But after seeing this person, he found that the eldest brother was handsome and lacked heroic. Although this person was not handsome enough to Li Minxing, his aura was unparalleled. This person was Wen Siyang, the eldest son-in-law of Zengjiazhuang, known as the "Golden Cross Hero". The two followers also entered.

Zeng Jia immediately cheered when he saw his elder brother-in-law coming and said, "Brother-in-law, save me quickly." Wen Siyang glanced at Yan Fang, but ignored her, walked directly to Zeng Jia, looked at his expression, and asked, "Third brother, where are you going to cause trouble?" Zeng Jia said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't provoke anyone. This beauty used magic tricks on my young master, making her legs unable to move." Wen Siyang could see the door without asking.

He said, stretching his fingers lightly to untie the two acupoints that Zeng Jia had sealed. Zeng Jia suddenly had his legs and feet and jumped up from the chair, saying, "My dear beauty, let me punish you!" As he said that, he walked to Yan Fang and said, "Hmph, let me beat you and scold you, but I can't bear it when I see your cute face. Otherwise, I will stay in Zengjiazhuang and serve me all my life?" Yan Fang looked embarrassed, but she didn't say anything.

Wen Siyang knew the temperament of his third brother-in-law, so he walked over and said, "Third brother, how did this girl lit your acupoint?" At the same time, he looked at Yan Fang, as if he wanted to inquire about her master's sect. Zeng Jia said, "Where can she lit acupoints? It just happened to make her hit my acupoint. Beautiful, tell me quickly, are you willing?" Wen Siyang knew that Zeng Jia only knew how to idle all day long and caused trouble, so how could he know such profound martial arts as acupoints. He turned to Yan Fang and asked, "Miss Fang's name? Who is the master's sect? In the following Siyang, he is the eldest son-in-law of Zengjiazhuang." Seeing that he was polite, Yan Fang looked at Zeng Jia first, and replied, "The little woman's surname is Yan Dan and Ming Fang. He passed by Yuezhou Prefecture and knew Yueyang

Lou Tianxia is famous, so I went up to take a look. Unexpectedly, I met Mr. Zeng San. I offended him. I hope to forgive him." Wen Siyang saw that she was unwilling to reveal her master's sect, so he was not convenient to ask, and said, "Where will the girl go? Or stay in the jail for a few days to see the scenery of Dongting Lake." Yan Fang said, "People say that Yueyang Tower is the best in the world, and the scenery of Dongting Lake is even more 800 miles. I really want to see everywhere. Besides, there is no place to go, or stay for a few days." Wen Siyang originally wanted to send someone away, but he didn't expect that when he said casually, Yan Fang actually agreed and immediately said, "That's going to be wronged Miss Yan for a few days." Yan Fang said, "Don't be wronged, just have food and accommodation."

Seeing this, Zeng Jia was very happy and said, "Miss Yan, it would be great if you are willing to stay. This young master was born in Yuezhou and grew up on the shore of Dongting Lake. Every grass and everything here cannot escape my master's eyes. Let me be your tour guide." Yan Fang smiled at him and said, "That's the third young master." Zeng Jia said, "It's certain that you have time to be happy, but it doesn't matter if I am happy. Hahaha." At that moment, Wen Siyang immediately called the housekeeper and arranged a guest room for Yan Fang to rest temporarily.

After hearing this, the housekeeper looked at Zeng Jia and asked for the third young master's consent. You know, the third young master dared to mess with him. The people he brought back naturally had to listen to his opinions. Zeng Jia looked at him and suddenly said, "Butler Liu, just arrange Miss Yan's guest room, and do it according to the elder brother-in-law's wishes." After that, he looked at Yan Fang happily. The eyes revealed in the middle obviously contained extraordinary thoughts. Yan Fang looked at him and said, "Three Master, aren't you going to punish me?" Zeng Jia said, "Punishment is essential."

There are few, but there are many ways to punish. A beauties like you, it is a pity to punish you for fighting and killing. I will let you go after this young master thinks of a way to punish you." Wen Siyang looked at Zeng Jia. He knew his third brother-in-law and knew what he was thinking in his heart. Looking at Yan Fang again, he saw that she was playful and cute, and he disagreed, so he said, "Miss Yan, just go and rest. The third young master dare not do anything to you." Yan Fang said, "I'm afraid he won't do anything to me." As he said that, he followed Butler Liu happily.

Besides, Guo Rong and Yu San came to Dongting Lake and could see the gate of Zengjiazhuang from afar. But Yu San did not go to Zengjiazhuang, but walked south. Guo Rong asked, "Yu San, Zengjiazhuang is in the north, why are we going south?" Yu San said, "Young Master Guo, how can Zengjiazhuang go in like this? You have to be beaten out. Now you are looking for Brother Yun. He has been fishing in Dongting Lake for 10 or 20 years and has often had contacts with Zengjiazhuang." After hearing this, Guo Rong couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say you're going to find Master Sun Si?" Yu San said, "

I thought about it carefully. After all, Master Sun Si is from Zengjiazhuang. I will ask him to let you get in. I am very troublesome if the news leaks out. It will be convenient for Brother Yun." Guo Rong asked, "No matter who you are looking for, you may leak the news." Yu San said, "Brother Yun is different. He is a very righteous man on Yuntian and is one of the best heroes on the banks of Dongting Lake. He will definitely do what he promises others. Treat anyone like his own brothers. Don't worry about entrusting the matter to Brother Yun." Guo Rong was not clear about the specific situation, so he had to let him arrange it.

After walking a while, a yard suddenly appeared in front of him, which was surrounded by about ten rooms. When Yu San saw it, he immediately laughed and said, "Young Master Guo, Brother Yun lives here." Guo Rong asked who the surname "Brother Yun" was named Yun Zhengting, Yu Sancai said, "Brother Yun is named Yun Zhengting, who is generous and loyal. Twenty or thirty brothers followed him to fish. The fish he brought were sold to Zengjiazhuang, so he is more familiar with the people in Zengjiazhuang." Guo Rong nodded silently and said, "So that's it. Brother Yun must have a way to let me sneak into Zengjiazhuang." As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of the yard. Seeing the gate open, the two walked in directly.

As soon as he entered the yard, a man came towards him and said, "Yu San, why do you have time to come and play?" Yu San said, "Brother Feng Wu, I will bring a friend to Brother Yun to meet him." As he said, Yu San introduced Guo Rong and said to Guo Rong, "Young Master Guo, this Brother Feng Wu is the brother who fishes with Brother Yun." Feng Wu looked at Guo Rong happily and said, "Young Master Guo has a delicate skin and tender flesh. You can't come to join Brother Yun to fish, right?" After that, he laughed. Guo Rong smiled and said, "Brother Feng Wu is really good at joking. I can't fish, but I learn

It must be not difficult to get up." Feng Wu said, "I'm kidding with you. Brother Yun discussed things with Master Qiu inside. You can wait in the yard for a while." Yu San asked, "Master Qiu? Are you talking about Master Qiu from Zengjiazhuang?" Feng Wu nodded, and Yu San continued to ask, "What is Brother Yun discussing with Master Qiu?" Feng Wu said, "It seems to be a headache. Brother Yun asked me to go out and watch the brothers who are fishing. I'm too lazy to deal with those things. Anyway, I'm sure I'm right to listen to Brother Yun." After Feng Wu said that, he walked out of the yard.

Yu San saw a table in the middle of the yard, and there were benches in each of the four directions beside the table, so he called Guo Rong to sit down by the table. Guo Rong asked, "What kind of person is Master Qiu from Zengjiazhuang?" Yu San said softly, "Master Qiu is Qiu Hongzhong, and he has been a master in Zengjiazhuang for generations, so everyone calls him Master Qiu. This Master Qiu is not easy to mess with, and his ideas are vicious. Hundreds of people from all over the Zengjiazhuang listen to him, and even Master Zeng sometimes listens to him. He can be regarded as the third person in Zengjiazhuang." Guo Rong said, "Master Zeng? Who is he?" Yu San said, "Master Zeng is of course the boss of Zengjiazhuang. It's not that Master Zeng wants to listen to Master Qiu, but what Master Qiu says. Many Master Zeng listens to him." Guo Rong nodded, thinking about Qiu in his heart.

Who is the master? Guo Rong continued to ask: "Why is Master Qiu the third person? Who are the first and second persons?" Yu San said: "The number one person in Zengjiazhuang is naturally Mr. Zeng Hongzeng. This second person is Wen Siyang, the eldest son-in-law of Zengjiazhuang." Guo Rong said: "Is it the person you mentioned to marry into the Zeng family?" Yu San said: "That's right." Guo Rong said: "Zengjiazhuang has five sons and four daughters. I didn't expect that a son-in-law who married into the married family was so capable." Yu San said: "Hero Wen is not only skilled in martial arts, but also brave and resourceful, and has a chivalrous heart, so everyone calls him a 'hero'. On the shore of Dongting Lake, he is the only one who can be called a 'hero'." After hearing this, Guo Rong could guess Wen Siyang's status in Zengjiazhuang.

Having sat about a cup of tea, I heard a voice coming from the house: "Feng Wu, bring tea in." Yu San and Guo Rong looked around the entire yard and did not see Feng Wu. Yu San immediately replied: "Brother Yun, Brother Feng Wu is out to see the fishing. Brother Yu San is here." Another voice came from the house: "Yu San, make tea for Master Qiu." Yu San immediately agreed and ran in excitedly. Guo Rong followed behind and came to the living room. Seeing two people sitting in the middle of the house, one of them

When a tall man saw Yu San coming in, he immediately handed over a teapot and said, "Yu San, go and boil water to make tea." Yu San then ran out to boil water immediately. Guo Rong stood there and carefully observed the man who handed the teapot to Yu San. Seeing that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide mouth, a tiger's back and bear's waist, dark skin, he was obviously a man who did rough work. Guo Rong understood that this person was Yun Zhengting. A person who could not see his appearance clearly with his back, dressed in a literati, should be Qiu Hongzhong.

Yun Zhengting and Qiu Hongzhong chatted softly, and had no time to greet Guo Rong. Seeing this, Guo Rong sat quietly beside him. Guo Rong heard Yun Zhengting say, "Master Qiu, according to your words, we have no choice?" Qiu Hongzhong nodded without saying a word. Yun Zhengting sighed, "Then why should I explain to my brothers?" Qiu Hongzhong said, "None of us can change what Mr. Zeng decided." Yun Zhengting said, "The government increases taxes and Mr. Zeng increases rent, we have no way to live!" As he said, lamenting.

The two were silent for a while, and soon Yu San came into the room with warm tea. While walking, he said, "Brother Yun, the tea is coming!" Yu San first filled Qiu Hongzhong with tea, then poured it for Yun Zhengting, and then placed the teapot on the table. Seeing that the two ignored him, they had to come back and sit with Guo Rong.

Qiu Hongzhong said: "Brother Yun, this matter has been notified. If you discuss with your brothers, Mr. Zeng's decision will definitely not be able to change. Let's talk about how to do it. Goodbye!" Qiu Hongzhong turned around and walked out. Only then did Guo Rong see clearly that he had a medium figure, small eyes, thin eyebrows, thin lips, small mouth, holding a cigarette pipe in his hand, and wearing a brocade suit. He didn't even look at Guo Rong and Yu San sitting next to him, but had already walked out of the yard.

Yun Zhengting watched Qiu Hongzhong leave and sighed repeatedly. Seeing this, Yu San asked, "Brother Yun, what happened?" Yun Zhengting said, "Oh, Master Qiu notified that Mr. Zeng decided to increase the rent from this month and pay an additional fifty ducts of fish every month. Damn, he had to fish desperately in the cold weather to barely maintain everyone's livelihood. Now that there are more fifty ducts of fish, what should we eat?" Guo Rong asked, "Why should we pay?" Yun Zhengting looked at Guo Rong, and turned out to be a stranger, wondering why he asked such a question. Yu San immediately introduced Guo Rong and said, "Brother Yun, Mr. Guo's senior sister was captured by Mr. Zeng San. Mr. Guo wanted to ask you to help me get into the village and find an opportunity to rescue his senior sister." Yun Zhengting looked at Guo Rong, but did not make a sound, and was still sighing.

Guo Rong asked, "Brother Yun, my senior sister and I went to Yuezhou Prefecture for the first time. I accidentally bumped into Mr. Zeng San. Unexpectedly, they arrested her senior sister into Zengjiazhuang unreasonably. I wanted to take advantage of Brother Yun and arrange for me to get into the mansion." Yun Zhengting nodded and said, "Help you get into the Zengjiazhuang." Yu San and Guo Rong said in unison: "Thank you, Brother Yun!" Yun Zhengting had no intention of talking to them, and buried their heads in thinking about his own affairs. Yu San said, "Brother Yun, I'm still waiting for me to go back to work in the inn, so I'll go back first. Please give me yourselves to Mr. Guo." Yun Zhengting said, "You go and do it, I have me here, don't worry." Yu San left with a smile, leaving Guo Rong alone to sit there.
