Chapter 11 The Secret
It's like a newlywed couple.
From the moment he saw the sign of "Youshi Piano Shop", Zhuang Bai guessed the secret weapon that Xu Muzhou was talking about. book boy.
All day yesterday, no one from A Yuan could be seen in Xu's house, because he had been sent out by Xu Muzhou since the early morning, and there were two things that needed to be done.
The first thing is to follow Hu Qinglian.Hu Qinglian took the ticket to the piano store that Xu Muzhou gave, and chose to go out to buy the piano yesterday, and that piano store was "You's Music Store".
Of course, Ah Yuan doesn't know the art of tracking, so the so-called "tracking" doesn't mean he follows it himself.
This is a bit of a long story.At the beginning, Ah Yuan came to Xialiang County with Xu Muzhou, not to mention the poverty of his family, and his young master was often bullied by children of the same age because of his frailty and sickness.
A Yuan wants to protect his young master wholeheartedly, but his body is even thinner than Xu Muzhou.
In terms of fighting, there is no hope, so A Yuan had to find another way.
To supplement the family income, the young A Yuan had to work in many places in the town, worked as a handyman in a restaurant, collected slops for wealthy families, and helped neighbors take care of infant babies.
Such a complicated and diverse experience allowed A Yuan to accumulate a lot of contacts, especially the little beggars in the town who couldn't afford to eat, and the local hooligans who didn't do their jobs properly.
Don't look at A Yuan looking stupid, but in fact, people are not ordinary smart.
He also has the potential to be the king of children. Those half-grown children who are also poor, for some reason, love to follow him.
Later, Xu Muzhou used local materials and used these little ghosts who were widely distributed in Xialiang County to create a different "relationship network", and the center of the relationship network was handed over to A Yuan.
Therefore, there was no need for A Yuan to follow Hu Qinglian in person.
Yesterday morning, when Hu Qinglian took his first step out of Xu's house, the little beggars on the street had their eyes on him.All the way to the piano store, every step falls in the eyes of the "eyes and ears" in the small streets and alleys.
I saw that Hu Qinglian ordered a high-quality guqin from Youshi Piano Store, and then asked the boss for an envelope and letter paper.
After writing the letter, put it in the letter basket of the piano store. When the post station comes back to receive the letter, it will be sent out together.
Hu Qinglian wrote the recent situation of Xu Muzhou and Xu Zhai in the letter, all of which were news to be conveyed to Mr. Xu.It's just that he didn't expect that the letter would be intercepted by A Yuan's younger brothers as soon as he left the piano shop.
This is just the first thing, the task assigned to A Yuan by my young master, and the second thing.
Follow Liu Cheng.
In any place, as long as the local beggars gather into a system, the information that can be received every moment is unimaginable for the yamen and the police.
Just like what happened to Liu Cheng.As soon as this guy fled, the "relationship network" in Ah Yuan's hands started to move, and now he has received reliable news that he was heading east, towards a border town in the southeast.
After hearing what A Yuan said, Zhuang Bai nodded, which was pretty much in line with his previous guess.
However, he still has one last question left: "A Yuan, your young master said that you are his "secret weapon", it shouldn't be just because you have a lot of friends, right? "
"Hey, Mr. Zhuang, I can't hide anything from you." The child sighed deeply, and took out a trick box from the innermost part of his clothes.
"Five years ago, I met a down-and-out man. Before buying him breakfast, he gave me this box."
This is an exquisitely crafted mechanism wooden box, small in size and convenient to carry close to your body.There are more than ten kinds of hidden weapons hidden in it, which can save people's lives in critical situations.
Not only that, A Yuan also asked that Jianghu person a few real kung fu skills. Over the years, she has studied hard and practiced hard. Not to mention defeating the enemy, it is no problem to lead his young master to escape at a critical moment.
The treacherous and cunning Xu Muzhou took a fancy to this point.
He said that this kid, A Yuan, is stupid, even if there are villains who plan to do something wrong, they will not be on guard against him, so this role of "playing a pig and eating a tiger" is just right for him.
Zhuang Bai returned the small box to the child, "No wonder Xu Muzhou always takes you by his side. Mr. Pei wanted you to go with us when we went down the mountain at night."
Pei Yunchu naturally knew that A Yuan was hiding something so secretive.
"Ham, speaking of it, Mr. Pei saved that person five years ago." A Yuan didn't hide anything from Zhuang Bai, "Of course he knows everything about it."
For a month since then, Xu Muzhou has been recuperating from his wounds.
Because of this, the Xu residence was extraordinarily quiet, and everyone kept silent in unison, for fear of disturbing the recovery of the homeowner.
Except that Xu Xuanyang came a few times in the middle, and every time he carried a lot of health supplements in large and small bags, Xu Muzhou couldn't take care of the huge business of Xu's house for the time being, so he asked Pei Yunchu to entrust part of it to the third younger brother to take care of.
Xu Xuanyang was frightened, afraid that he would screw up his brother's business because of his stupidity.
In a flash, it was late autumn, when Xu Muzhou was able to get up and move around, the wind was already bleak outside the window, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was also missed. Zhuang Baiti, who was next to him, slipped a thick coat and wanted to watch Xu Muzhou put it on with his own eyes.
"There have been several autumn rains outside, and it's very cold. You haven't gone out of the house for more than a month. If you don't keep warm carefully, you will catch a cold."
Zhuang Bai's fox eyes, when he is focused, seem to have affection in his brows and eyes, with a hint of provocation.He came over with a cloak and gently put it on Xu Muzhou's body.
He adjusted the skirt and cuffs again.
A Yuan was also in the room, he was here to help take care of his young master, but now he was a little embarrassed by the scene of the two people in this room.
"...Master...you and Mr. Zhuang...you..." A Yuan tried hard to describe, "It's like a newlywed couple."
Xu Muzhou's brows and eyes recovered, and when he glanced at people, he was even more kind, and he said with a smile: "Little ghost, why, you have seen the "newly married couple" with your own eyes, how can it be? "
Zhuang Bai liked this description quite a bit, "It's okay, your young master refuses to have a baby with me, A Yuan, please help me persuade him."
Xu Muzhou was helpless, he really had nothing to do with Zhuang Bai: "How did you two get along with each other?"
It's no wonder that A Yuan sang and sang, he was really concerned about this matter... After all, the deadline that the old man gave his young master is only the last month.
This matter has to start with the superstition of the old man of the Xu family.
He listened to the words of the half-immortals, and decided that only those with "good marriage" among his descendants could inherit the family business.
However, among the grandchildren, only the eldest, Xu Xiuyu, has married, and the rest Xu Muzhou and Xu Xuanyang are not yet married, so how can there be such a thing as a "good marriage"?
The old man thought of a way, and set a wedding date for the two younger ones. If a husband is not found after this time limit, it will be regarded as a bad marriage.
Also lost the opportunity to inherit the family business.
Xu Xuanyang is 17 years old this year, and he is still far ahead of the deadline set by the old man, but Xu Muzhou's time is running out.
That's why A Yuan was so impatient.Originally, when the young master picked up Mr. Zhuang, there were only four months left before the deadline, but after delays back and forth, and bed rest for more than a month, now the last month is left.
Originally, Xu Muzhou never cared about the so-called "time limit" at all, and he never had the daydream of inheriting the family business. The business he controlled was not small, and he did not lack that bit of family property.
A Yuan felt that the young master's thinking was reasonable, so she didn't care too much about it, but now that she has Mr. Zhuang, no matter how you look at it, the two of them are a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven.
It would be too unfair to miss the opportunity in this way.
What A Yuan thinks, why is she not convinced, she thinks that the young master will settle the matter with Mr. Zhuang quickly, and from then on, they will be harmonious and beautiful, and everyone will be happy, it is really a blessing in the world.
Xu Muzhou has always treated A Yuan as his own younger brother, so the little thing can see his thoughts.
But things like marriage and love cannot be rushed, and it is absolutely impossible for him to get married hastily for a deadline to inherit the family business.
That would be stupid.
At least, he had to settle Hu Qinglian's matter first.
Thinking of this, Xu Muzhou pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, Zhuang Bai's temper tantrum, if he didn't deal with Hu Qinglian's situation in advance, I'm afraid the family would be in trouble in the future.
It was night, in the wooden house in the back garden of Xu Zhai, a group of people gathered around the table again, and started a family meeting.
In the middle of the small wooden table was the letter that A Yuan intercepted from Youshi Piano Store. Xu Muzhou pointed to the channel: "I have read the content. This letter, as expected at the beginning, was sent to Xu Xiuyu."
"The letter recorded in detail everything that happened in our courtyard after Zihu Qinglian entered the school."
"However, it is also certain that Hu Qinglian did not inform Xu Xiuyu about the loss of money due to the damage to the farmland. Because, that day, he didn't even know why I was called to court."
"Old man Li falsely accused me, instigated by Liu Cheng. Hu Qinglian didn't know about it, which means that Liu Cheng should not belong to Xu Xiuyu."
Uncle Zong was confused when he heard it: "Patriarch, what does this mean?"
"It means that there are probably two waves of people who secretly tripped up your Patriarch. One wave is headed by Hu Qinglian, and the instigator behind it is your eldest son Xu Xiuyu. The other wave is headed by the farmer Lao Liu, and it is they who caused it. damage to farmland."
"But Liu Cheng was also instructed, and the person behind him is the greatest danger." Zhuang Bai explained to Uncle Zong while helping Xu Muzhou lift his collar.
It was cold at night, so he had to let Xu Muzhou take care of his body.
Pei Yunchu next to him didn't know if he saw this scene, his eyes flickered, he turned his head and stood up, "It's late at night, I'll cook some supper for everyone."
"Master, since the letter is already in our hands, what should we do next?" A Yuan asked, "And that Liu Cheng, he is hiding in a farmyard in a border town, do you want to notify the government?"
Xu Muzhou smiled knowingly: "Well done. However, Liu Cheng let it go first, and there is no need to notify the government. This letter from Hu Qinglian must also be kept. When he shows his flaws, this is the most powerful threat."
