The Legend of Xiao Feng

"Liu Rulang took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Ah Zi and said: "How about I compensate you for this?" "

AhZi pouted, "Who cares about you!"

Liu Rulang said: "This is not ordinary jade, you hold it and look at the sun."

Azi raised the jade pendant according to her words, and faced the sunlight, she saw a clear head portrait in the middle of the jade pendant, with a nose and eyes, as if smiling with her mouth open.AhZi smiled and said, "Interesting and interesting, how did this profile picture get uploaded?"

Liu Rulang said: "Turn it sideways and look at it, every direction has a different look."

AhZi turned the jade pendant slightly, and saw that the little man on the jade pendant closed his mouth and glared, and when he turned a little more, the little man turned into a weeping face again, making AhZi clap his hands and laugh out loud, " It’s fun! It’s fun! Fourth brother, where did you get such a strange thing?” No one answered, and when he looked up, Xiao Feng and Liu Rulang were gone. When the jade pendant was opened, she used her lightness kung fu to sneak into the depths of the village, Ah Zi looked at the overlapping houses, knowing that she couldn't find them among them, so she stomped her feet and went back to Linfengyuan with the jade pendant.

Xiao Feng and Liu Rulang walked into the depths of the village, and came to a quiet small courtyard, the peach blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and bees and butterflies were flying back and forth on the branches.Liu Rulang and Xiao Feng entered the room, they saw a big bookcase in the room, occupying a whole wall, and there was a desk in front of the window.Xiao Feng asked: "Is this the master's study?"

Liu Rulang smiled and said: "No, the master here never reads books, only likes to read accounts. This is my study."

The two sat down on the chairs in front of the window, Liu Rulang inkbed the ink, picked up a pen and quickly wrote several similar notices on the red paper, Xiao Feng didn't know calligraphy, but felt that his handwriting was flamboyant, Very powerful.He couldn't help praising: "The fourth brother is proficient in poetry, poetry, Fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's a pity not to take the exam to be the number one scholar."

Liu Rulang said: "My ancestors have taught that the descendants of the Liu family can do anything, but they can no longer be officials. My ancestors have seen through everything in the officialdom. Those who are upright will not end well. They are villains who flatter their superiors and bully their inferiors. If they still have a sliver of conscience, they will linger in contradictions and pains, and live comfortably for a few days. Therefore, my ancestors do not want future generations to go through this troubled water again. , from my grandfather’s generation onwards, he has never been an official.”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a young servant running in quickly and said: "My lord, my master said that there is something urgent in the store, so please go there right now, lord."

Liu Rulang frowned slightly, and said: "The shopkeeper Zheng Da has always handled things very safely, why is he in such a hurry today! Do you know what's going on?"

The boy said: "The little man doesn't know, it's just that the master told the little man to invite the young master over."

Xiao Feng said at the side: "Fourth brother, hurry up and have a look, don't miss a big deal, all the people in this village depend on you and shopkeeper Zheng Da for their food. Since I don't know anything about business, I won't accompany you Let's go together."

Liu Rulang put down his pen, stood up, and said to Xiao Feng: "Then I'll go and have a look and I'll come back, don't wait for me to eat lunch, brother didn't sleep last night, just rest here for a while after lunch, come back at night, I'll welcome big brother again, let's have a good drink."

After Liu Rulang left, Xiao Feng walked around the small yard, and when he returned to the house, the servant had already brought the lunch.

After eating, Xiao Feng had nothing to do for a while, he lay down on the bed in the study, the warm spring breeze blew from the courtyard, he fell asleep in a daze after a while.

When he woke up, it was already dusk, he walked out of the small courtyard of the study, the surroundings were quiet, without a single sound, a young servant came towards him, and saluted Xiao Feng: "Master Xiao, where are you going? The young master told you take you there."

Xiao Feng nodded and asked: "Your young master is back?"

The boy said, "I haven't come back yet."

Xiao Feng was slightly startled, "Haven't you been back since noon? Has something serious happened in the store?"

The little servant bowed his head and said: "I don't know, I didn't go to the store today, the young master ordered the little one to serve Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said: "Go, take me to your shop to have a look!"

The young man responded, and quickly ran ahead to lead the way.The two walked through the courtyard houses that entered one after another, Xiao Feng had a very good memory, walked back and forth, and already remembered the way from the gate to the study.

Walking out of the gate, the young man led Xiao Feng through the streets and alleys. After walking for a long time, he stopped in front of a building. The young man led Xiao Feng straight into the building. All the shop assistants nodded to the young man. Greetings, it seems that he has some status in the mansion.He led Xiao Feng to an exquisite house in the backyard, a fat man was sitting in the room, "crackling" thinking about calculations.

The boy bowed to the fat man and said: "The villain has seen the master."

The fat man didn't raise his eyes, he was typing quickly on the abacus with his hands, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The young man bowed his head and said: "This uncle is the son's sworn elder brother, come here to find the son."

When the fat man heard this, he immediately put down the abacus in his hand, stood up with a smile all over his face, bowed his hands to Xiao Feng and said: "It turns out to be Hero Xiao, sorry for your disrespect!"

Xiao Feng returned a salute and said: "Your Excellency must be the shopkeeper Zheng Da, I wonder where my fourth brother is now? He hasn't returned for half a day, I'm afraid something happened to him, so come and see him."

The fat man looked surprised, and said: "Young master came for a while at noon, and then went back, haven't you arrived home yet?"

Xiao Feng was startled, and said: "What? When did he go back?"

Shopkeeper Zheng said: "The young master only stayed here for a while at noon, and then left in a hurry. I thought he had already arrived home."

Xiao Feng said in a deep voice: "Today at noon you said that you have something urgent to call your fourth brother, what exactly is it?"

Shopkeeper Zheng stretched out a fat palm, and said: "Hero Xiao, please sit down and talk." Then he said to the boy standing by: "Xiao Rui, hurry up and serve tea, I want the freshly brewed Longjing tea to be served. " The young man responded and was about to go out when Xiao Feng waved his hand and said: "No need, I will leave after asking a few words." He looked at the shopkeeper Zheng and said: "What is it? Please Zheng The shopkeeper should be quick and tell Xiao!"

Shopkeeper Zheng respectfully said: "There was a big gap in the account today, and a sum of three 10,000+ taels disappeared for some reason. I checked all the account books, and the amount in the account was correct, but In fact, there is no such money in the treasury. I was afraid that others would think that I was greedy. I was in a hurry, so I hurriedly asked the young master to come over to check. After the young master came, he took a look at the account book, did not say anything, and comforted me A few words, and then left. Daxia Xiao said it’s strange that he hasn’t come home yet.” He paused and said, “Master, you don’t come to Xinyang often, would you be wandering in the street, forgetting the time, and you’re just not home yet? .”

Xiao Feng looked up out of the window, it was already dusk, he thought to himself: "Although the fourth brother is playful by nature, he is by no means a careless person. At this time, he will not go out for a stroll by himself for no reason. Besides, he seems to be busy at noon. I have something to tell me, he didn’t want to come when shopkeeper Zheng asked him to come, let alone run out to play by himself, if something happened to him on the way, then the shopkeeper lied.” He pondered for a while, then suddenly asked : "Shopkeeper Zheng Da, how does your young master treat you?"

Shopkeeper Zheng said: "The Liu family has treated me with great kindness. Since the master passed away, the young master has nothing to say about me."

Xiao Feng's eyes were like lightning, he swept across his face, and said: "Then please tell me the truth! What happened this afternoon?"

"The truth? What the truth?" Shopkeeper Zheng looked blank, "Didn't I already tell you what happened this afternoon? It's just that 30 taels of silver disappeared, and there is nothing else to do today." He turned his face slightly , "Does Xia Daxia think I'm lying? If something happens to your son, I will only be more anxious than you!"

Xiao Feng snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to pat the table beside him, only heard a "pop", a hole was made on a table made of rosewood, he said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother came out at noon , until the end of the day, you kept saying that you cared about his safety, but there was no worry on your face, and there were many excuses in your words. If you can deceive others, can you deceive me? Fourth brother and I are of the same flesh and blood, If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Shopkeeper Zheng looked at the punctured rosewood table, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he immediately recovered calm, and said to the boy standing by: "Xiao Rui, hurry up and make a pot of Qingxin Longjing tea." , to appease Xiao Daxia's anger." The young man responded and hurried away.

Xiao Feng knew that he was intentionally dismissing the boy, so he ignored it immediately and sat down at the table.Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly closed the door and the windows around him, then approached Xiao Feng, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I won't say it, but I really dare not say it." He swept his eyes around the room again, as if As if he was afraid that someone was hiding in this house, his eyes were full of horror.

Xiao Feng said: "Tell me, there is no one else in this house."

Shopkeeper Zheng said in a low voice: "The man ordered me not to mention this matter to anyone. If not, the man will kill me and die a painful death..." He suddenly stopped, with a bright expression on his face. Show fear.

Xiao Feng said softly: "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can touch a single hair of your hair, and besides, no one will know that you told me."

Shopkeeper Zheng said in a low voice: "Xiao
