You Jianghu people really know how to play

In the spring of the 20th year of Jinghe, it rained.

In the afternoon, the streets are bustling with pedestrians.

The shopkeeper of Wang's Cloth Shop was so busy that he was sweating all over his face, and applied it greasy to his round face.After sending the young man to greet the guests, he stood at the door and waited for the master to come.While watching the crowds on the street, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a handsome young man standing under a big pear tree opposite.

The young man was wearing a moon white gown, and he was carefully picking off the soft petals from his head one by one.

The shopkeeper thought to himself, in Qing'an City, there are so many young men with such good character that can be counted with two hands.He relied on his sharp eyesight, but he didn't recognize which family that person belonged to. He only knew that he was from a wealthy family by the material of the clothes and the piece of emerald jade on his waist.

The boss came soon, and the shopkeeper followed him into the shop for the last time, and saw the young man walking towards the shop.

so tender.The shopkeeper thought, maybe he still doesn't know how to distinguish good cloth from bad cloth.

When the young man entered the door, he heard the young man talking to the guy who came forward to greet him, with a smile in his voice: "My surname is Shen, and my name is Guangming."

It was the first time the shopkeeper saw someone who was so eager to declare his family name, and couldn't help but look back.

The young man smiled and bowed to him without saying a word, and the shopkeeper quickly returned the salute: "Please sit down, please sit down." After the young man sat down, he turned to the waiter and said, "Good tea."

When looking at the account book, the master asked him who the boy was, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "I don't know each other."

After about a cup of tea, the shopkeeper invited the master out.

The account book was very beautiful, and the owner was very satisfied. When he passed the counter, he asked casually: "Master Tang's birthday is next month. Is the flying brocade ready?" The shopkeeper bowed and said, "It was woven and delivered ten days ago." Then he got into the counter.

After searching for a long time, he was a little confused.It was obviously placed on the shelf, and it was still packed in a Western colored glass box. He cleaned it carefully this morning.But now the place where the glazed box was placed is empty.

Seeing that he was anxious, the clerk couldn't help but stepped forward to remind: "Young Master Shen has already taken that box." The shopkeeper: "... who is Young Master Shen?"

Dude: "That good-looking son just now. I greeted you when I came."

The shopkeeper was surprised and angry: "Which one?!"

Under the memories and reminders of the staff, the shopkeeper finally remembered the young man with a calm temperament.The waiter said it very clearly: "We saw that he is familiar with you, so we brewed the best Biluochun. Master Shen...the man surnamed Shen sat for a while, looked at a lot of fabrics, and talked clearly. Later, a little boy ran away. Come on, tell Master Tang to go home and ask Young Master Shen to go see him quickly. He said that Master Tang is his uncle, so he brought the box over and asked you, we all heard. "

The master was stunned, and the shopkeeper jumped angrily: "When did you ask me? When did you ask!"

He loved the flying brocade very much, because it was too rare, so he put it on display in the store before sending it out; he was afraid that the clerk would covet it, so he only said that the glazed box was a tribute, it was very heavy, and he just needed to take good care of it.

"Master Shen...we all heard when the man surnamed Shen picked up the box. He walked behind the screen and spoke to the inside, saying that the shopkeeper, I will bring him the gift from my uncle first, and tell you. "The buddy spoke eloquently, "You should agree, it's very good, I'm sorry, Master Shen."

The shopkeeper was so angry that he almost fainted.After all, he has been in the mall for many years, and he quickly realized that he had run into a scammer.Today happened to be the time for the sale of new cloth, and every time the head of the house came to check the accounts, the shop was short of staff and very busy.The liar had obviously found out about the cloth shop and took this opportunity to start.

The young man is rich and noble, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with handsome features and elegant demeanor, he glanced at him roughly, but he couldn't see clearly, he just regarded him as an ordinary rich and noble child.The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more startled he became: the young man probably knew that he was always waiting in front of the door, so he purposely appeared under the pear tree and greeted him specially.Because the young man didn't speak up, he could only say please sit down in a general way, and because the clothes and jade made an impression on him, he would let the waiter serve good tea.

The young man who claimed to be surnamed Shen obviously knew ventriloquist and other ventriloquist skills, and he learned his voice to be so similar that even the clerk in the shop didn't hear the difference.And "very good, very good" is his mantra, once these four words are spoken, even if the voice is slightly different, the man will naturally not take it to heart.

And because the Wang's cloth shop is owned by Mrs. Tang's natal family, since the young man called Mr. Tang his "uncle", even if the clerk had doubts, it was inconvenient to ask abruptly.

"Shopkeeper, please report to the official." The clerk said, "I remember that person's name is Shen Guangming."

The shopkeeper said angrily: "That is a false name, of course! Why did he say his name as soon as he entered the door? It was to make you believe him. Since I came here with malicious intent, how could I tell you my real name!"

The guys looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to make a sound.

"In the past few days, has anyone touched or asked about this glazed box?" The shopkeeper asked, "How does he know that the contents of this box are valuable? There are so many gold silk embroidery and fairy brocade on the shelf, why is it so strange? Did you see this?"

The guys recalled for a moment, and remembered that a few days ago, a woman who looked like a maid asked about the box in the shop.She was holding a piece of paper with the name of the cloth in her hand, as if she was helping her lady to buy cloth, and because of her pretty and cute appearance, the guys were very enthusiastic.Seeing that there were a lot of precious brocades on the shelf, the girl asked many questions curiously. When she asked about the glazed box, the staff told her that it was not for sale.The servant girl was very sorry, and sighed again and again, saying it was a pity.

The shopkeeper and the master looked at each other for a few moments, and immediately understood that they had met not one cheater, but three cheaters.

"It's not too bad." The shopkeeper said to the head of the house, "No one can see the preciousness of that Feitian brocade, but the glazed box looks good. Maybe I can really ask for that slip and return that pearl..."

An hour later, the clerk and Yacha found the discarded glass box by the moat, and the Feitian brocade inside had disappeared without a trace.

Lost the birthday gift of his in-laws, Wang's cloth shop was in panic and cared about face, so he didn't report it to the official.Shen Guangming hid for a few days and found that nothing happened, so he found a place to sell Feitianjin and urged his accomplices to leave.

He took Shen Zhengyi and Shen Qing to count the money beside the city gate.

"Don't lose the silver." Shen Guangming gave the silver to Shen Zhengyi, "If you lose it, it's gone."

"Second sister can steal." Shen Zhengyi said, "I can too, my hands and feet are faster than second sister."

Shen Guangming looked like he hated iron and steel: "Are you the same as us? Ah? You want to be a scholar. Don't steal and lie all day long. Be an honest gentleman."

Shen Zhengyi put the money into the bag and said, "Then you let me wear the clothes of a boy servant to help you cheat?"

Shen Qing finished eating a bunch of candied haws, and nodded: "You still asked me to pretend to be a maid and ask for information. Brother, you just want to make your younger brother famous, so what about my reputation? What a girl..."

"The girl's family doesn't talk as much as you do." Shen Guangming thought for a while, then took out a few more pieces of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the two, "Shen Qing, don't steal anymore, do you understand? Send justice to the academy and you will come back. "

He urged his younger siblings to leave, slipped to a secret place, stood up straight, wiped off all the pockmarks on his face, and walked slowly towards the Tang Mansion.

He and Shen Qing went out together this time to send Shen Zhengyi to the academy.The brothers and sisters came all the way, never expecting that the silver would be taken away as soon as they entered the gate of Qing'an City.Shen Qing has been stealing since elementary school, and her skills are very superb. She never thought that one day she would be stolen by others, and she was very angry and angry.

There were still a few days to go from Qing'an City to the academy's location, and the road and travel expenses were all gone. The academy's report was imminent, so Shen Guangming had no choice but to go back to his old business and get some money.

Feitian Jin and Shen Guangming had never seen it before, and in fact he didn't know it was such a precious thing.It's just that when Shen Qing came back and said that only the contents of that box were unknown to the clerk, he knew that the most valuable was inside.The glazed box could have been sold, and it was beautiful. Shen Qing held it and refused to leave, but it was too heavy and she didn't want to take it. Shen Guangming took out the flying brocade and wrapped the box and walked for a while, ignoring Shen Qing. opinion and threw it away with regret.

The only reason I went to Wang's Cloth Shop was that it was near the city gate, so if I was discovered, I would have enough time to run away.As Shen Guangming walked, recalling this extremely smooth operation, he almost couldn't help dancing.

After getting the brocade, Shen Qing went to the back door of the county magistrate, and successfully sold it to the magistrate's wife through the maid in the mansion, and immediately got 100 taels of silver.This time, the blow was right, and Shen Guangming's heart was itchy, so he decided to challenge the richest family in Qing'an City to attack again.

Before entering the city, he had already heard about Tang Dashan's deeds.The bridge outside the city, the irrigation canal, and the smooth road are all good deeds of Mr. Tang.

Shen Guangming prepared the necessary things, bought a set of clothes from a decent beggar with five cents, put them on himself enduring the sour smell, and then squatted by the door of the Tang Mansion to wait.

After waiting for a long time, the doors of the Tang Mansion opened and closed, and only men came in and out.After waiting until it was almost sunset, finally a carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, and then the maids and housekeepers all walked out and stood outside.

Shen Guangming regained his spirits immediately.

The carriage door opened, but a tall young man jumped out.Shen Guangming was extremely disappointed: he waited so long just to get a female family member of the Tang family.Just as he was about to leave, he saw the young man turning his head and pulling a middle-aged woman holding a cat from the car.

After looking at the carriage, Shen Guangming knew that it must be Mrs. Tang, so he quickly wiped some sand on his face, poured a mouthful of syrup made from boiled persimmons, and staggered out.

When Mrs. Tang and his party turned their heads to look at him, he clutched his chest and spat out the red water from his mouth, before falling to the ground with a bang.

"Ouch..." His voice trembled, "Ouch..."

Mrs. Tang was startled and dropped the cat in her hand.

"Little Ou, go and have a look." Mrs. Tang said to the young man beside her, "That man seems to be seriously ill, he vomited blood."

Shen Guangming was still moaning and tossing and turning on the ground, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the white cat running to him before the others.

roll roll roll.Shen Guangming glared at it.

Seeing the young man getting closer, Shen Guangming's groaning voice became more and more painful.

The cat looked at him, then at the "blood" on the ground, and suddenly lowered its head to lick it.

"Oh! Big flower!" Mrs. Tang exclaimed.

The cat thought about it for a while, and seemed to like it very much. Regardless of the owner's wailing, it continued to lick and lick with relish.

Shen Guangming: "..."

Everyone: "..."
