Chapter 50: Committing a crime against the wind
"What can your brother do when he goes to Mingyue Tower?"
"He can only be a boy. If he is older, he can Be more handsome..."
"I understand, what can he do now?"
"A seven-year-old boy can only help in the kitchen. He used to do that. If I am here, my mother will give him a good meal for my sake...now...now that I am not here...how can he live?"
Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said: " To your mother, your brother is actually just a loser, right?”
Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth and said, “That’s right, I have been studying piano and flute all these years for my brother. , learn dancing, cooking, makeup, and the skills of a charming man, just to become the most important pillar in my mother's hands. Only in this way can I help my brother escape from the sea of suffering."
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly. "So, you don't want to be rescued, right?"
Qian Duoduo said dullly: "Of course we would be willing if we, my sister and my brother, were rescued together. I have also thought that there is a peerless person. The hero stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds to save our siblings. If there is such a person, I am willing to serve him and stay by his side all my life without any regrets."
"This is what you like about Sun Houhou. The reason?"
"Yes! He is a great hero!"
"Do you think I can do this?"
"You look like him? Zhu Bajie, if you can save our siblings, I will treat you as a hero, even if you are a pig!" Yun Zhao nodded numbly, this answer was not a surprise to him.
"Uncle Meng, can you set a fire in Mingyue Tower? Unknowingly!"
Yunmeng nodded and said: "It's feasible, as long as there is sulfur and gunpowder That’s it.”
“Do you have these things?”
Yunmeng looked at Yunbao, Yunbao took out a handful of black powder from the leather bag on his waist, and Yun Zhao looked at it. After a moment he asked: "Black powder?"
Yunhu said: "This is Ah Bao's unique trick. He originally named himself the Fire Breathing Leopard. Later, Brother Meng felt that it was too ostentatious and would make others wary. I didn’t allow it to be used.”
Yun Zhao looked up at the big sun in the sky and said calmly: “Then just light up the Mingyue Building. Be careful not to burn it too fast. We took advantage of the chaos and took away Qian Duoduo’s brother. By the way, what’s your brother’s name?”
“Qian Duoduo!” Qian Duoduo answered very quickly. The name was something she had thought about for a long time.
"Aren't you afraid? Arson is a serious crime of decapitation, especially in the city!"
Yun Meng looked at Yun Zhaodao seriously.
Yun Zhao spread his hands indifferently and said: "Sooner or later I will become a thief, let's practice my skills first."
When the group of people walked from the noodle shop to Mingyue Tower, they secretly watched Yun Zhao looked like he was doing odd jobs with little money, and Yun Zhao already had an idea.If you choose a side building with few people, it will be easy to get it, and a stick of incense can delay the ignition time and create a perfect alibi.
So, Yun Zhao took a group of people to the teahouse opposite Mingyue Tower to listen to stories.
Qian Duoduo put on a hood, and Yun Zhao dressed up as a rich man, bringing his sisters at home to secretly listen to books, which was nothing to the teahouse and the storyteller.
Therefore, the shopkeeper sent Yun Zhao and his party to the private room very wisely, where they could not only see the storyteller telling stories, but also avoid being seen by others.
Yunmeng, Yunhu, and Yunbao are naturally the servants of this pair of wealthy siblings. Shopkeepers have seen many such people.
After the refreshments were served, Yun Zhao found that Yun Meng and the other three seemed very nervous, but Qian Duoduo was extremely calm, drinking tea, eating snacks, and eating melon seeds in a leisurely manner. Compared with Yun Zhao, a truly wealthy family, The young master also needs to appear well-educated.
The book I’m talking about today is Chapter 4 of “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”: Chen Liujian, the Han Emperor, was dethroned and plotted against the Dong thief Meng De to offer his sword.
The storyteller’s story was so exciting that Yun Zhao almost forgot about setting the fire.
I don’t know when Clouded Leopard came back. Standing behind Yunmeng, he gradually blended into the crowd of people listening to the book.
With a lot of money, there are many things to do. In a short period of time, Yunbao and the others ordered three snacks and fruits from the shopkeeper.
After hearing that Cao Cao left Chang'an on Dong Zhuo's fast horse, Yun Zhao laughed and said: "Leaving here is like a dragon entering the sea!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "Yes. A great hero must have the means to adapt to changes. Without this quick wit, Cao Mengde would probably only become the second-ranked Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu."
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It seems like one. If you want to achieve great things, you must act decisively, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by the enemy.
With so much money, aren’t you worried about your brother’s safety? ”
Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth and said: "If my brother can't even pass this level, how will he grow up in the future?"
"Are you betting on your brother's luck?"
Qian Duoduo smiled brightly and said: "People need a little luck to live."
Yun Zhao thought of the hundreds of millions of troops fighting bravely at the beginning of his life for no reason, and he sincerely admired it. The truth behind Qian Duoduo's words.
After listening to a chapter of the book, Yunbao called the storyteller to come in. Yun Zhao and Qian Duoduo each rewarded the storyteller ten dollars and praised him for his good storytelling. After the storyteller left, Qian Duoduo looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Is it about time?"
Yunbao said softly: "I have reserved half a stick of incense, it's almost time."
Yun Zhao said: "After the fire started, you went outside to look for Mr. Qian. You have seen his appearance just now." After saying that, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea and said: "Actually, Well, after the fire started, some people in Xi'an cried and some laughed. It's a pity thatWe are not the ones laughing. If we do something like this again in the future, we will have to make a fortune from it.
Yunmeng shook his head and said: "Taking advantage of the situation is what the rats do!" "
Yun Zhaodao: "If a place is burned down, it is likely to be rebuilt soon, especially for a place with great wealth and long-standing reputation like Mingyue Tower.
We must be prepared to rebuild Mingyue Tower. This is a business, not taking advantage of the situation. "
Just as the other four people looked at Yun Zhao in horror, a heartbreaking shout suddenly came from across the teahouse - "Fight the fire!" ”
The guests in the teahouse were drinking tea leisurely when they suddenly heard this shout and ran out quickly one by one.
But Yunmeng, Yun Bao and Yun Hu had already ran out first.
Yun Zhao and Qian Duoduo naturally stayed behind before leaving the private room. After going down the stairs, Yun Zhao kindly helped the miserable teahouse owner. After getting up and greeting each other, he generously paid for the tea, which made the teahouse owner burst into tears.
In a room full of people drinking tea, this little man and woman were the only ones who paid.
When I went out, I saw that the fire was not too big. It was just a side building on fire. It was noon. The beautiful ladies in Mingyue Building were standing shaking in their undergarments. On the road, a fat old madam was jumping on her feet to direct a group of servants to carry water to put out the fire.
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo, and he could feel her presence even through the veil on his hood. Shi's eyes seemed to be filled with fire.
"If you had a short crossbow now, you could kill this old witch without any trace of ghosts. "
"Do you have a short crossbow? ”
“Not yet, but there will be in the future. "
"Okay, you have to teach me how to use this thing when the time comes! "
"This is natural. We are going to be robbers in the future, how can we not know how to use weapons? ”
“Why us? "Even though Qian Duoduo was looking for his younger brother, he still realized that what Yun Zhao said seemed wrong.
"From the day you walked into Yun's family, you were already a robber. , this is a very classic way for the environment to change an individual's destiny. "
Yunmeng, who was helping to put out the fire, threw out a boy who was dragging a bucket to block others from fighting the fire. He held the bucket in one hand and rushed forward bravely, causing the old madam to cheer loudly.
“Your brother has been rescued. Do you want to go back and comfort your brother? "
"No, I want to watch the fire! "
"This fire may be extinguished, and there will be no lively scenes. ”
“Not necessarily! "
Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise.
"There is a barrel of lamp oil in the warehouse next to the side building"
"Huh? Weren't you sold to Chang'an? Why are you so familiar with this place? ”
Qian Duoduo watched as the flames on the side building were about to extinguish and the flames on the small house next to the side building began to become brighter. A smile finally appeared on his beautiful little face.
"I put the lamp oil in. I spent a terrible night in that small building, and then I came up with the plan to die together. Later, I thought of my brother and gave up."
< p>Yun Zhao gently took Qian Duoduo's little hand and said: "Forget it, it happens to be a fire today!"Qian Duoduo looked at Yun Zhao tenderly for the first time and said: "It's because he was I was bullied by Mother Liang. At that moment, I felt that I was not a human being, but a beast that was being checked around."
"Then forget it, you will be a robber from now on, and we will be the only ones. No one can bully us."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said: "Okay, I will be a robber from now on, even if I get beheaded, I won't regret it!"
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "We must try our best to avoid such a thing from happening. Being beheaded is by no means our ultimate goal!"
