Chapter 5: Chen Yue's Revenge
"Okay, I'm fool, I'm climbing up with a noble man." Ma Gan patted Chen Yue's face and said with a smile.
The two people in front of him were two people who were very familiar to Chen Yue in his memory, and they had the most diplomatic relationships besides his father Chen Jianghe and Aunt Zhang. Because these two people often "care" themselves and took them to do something about stealing donkeys and letting them pull their legs. The benefits are always the two of them, and the blame is always the one who takes it. But who made Chen Yue a fool before? He didn't care what he did if he had a full meal. Now the wound on Chen Yue's head that was not healed was the one who was instigated to steal things. It was because someone smashed his head that later generations came over and leaned over to this fool with the same name and surname.
"Idiot, what are you thinking? Are you asking you?" Seeing that Chen Yue was speechless, Wu Liang, who was beside him, kicked Chen Yue impatiently.
Just this kick aroused endless anger in Chen Yue's heart. It would be fine. Wu Liang was the most ruthless person who bullied him in the past. Chen Yue opened his eyes wide open, clenched his fists with both hands, and was about to hit Wu Liang hard.
"Silly, what do you want to do?" Seeing Chen Yue's face showing ferociousness, the maroon facing Chen Yue suddenly became a little scared. Because of the angle, Wu Liang did not see the anger on Chen Yue's face.
No, it just beat them too cheaply. Since they have always fooled themselves as fools, they must fool them once, so that they can eliminate my hatred! After a brief moment, Chen Yue let go of his fists and showed a signature smirk on his face, which made Ma Gan think that he was confused about his eyes.
"Those two people are big fools. They insisted on treating me to dinner for the broken Trojan horse my father made for me." Chen Yue said stupidly.
"There are people who are even stupider than you!" Wu Liang smiled and kicked Chen Yue again. The doubts in his heart were also resolved. It turned out that the noble man fell in love with that broken Trojan horse. Although he didn't know why he fell in love with such a broken thing, many noble people had some quirks, which was not surprising.
Ma Gan was ashamed of the timid he had just developed, so he stepped forward and kicked Chen Yue hard, then laughed.
Chen Yue didn't hide or dodge, just giggled, but just wrote a lot of marks on the two of them in his heart!
Maybe it was because of the habit that became natural, and the fool was easy to dress up. Until Chen Yue followed Magan and Liu Liang to a dilapidated yard, the two of them did not notice Chen Yue's abnormality again, thinking that he was still the fool he used to be.
"Fool, what you have to do this time is very simple. You don't have to do anything or talk. Just put on this dress tomorrow and go there." Ma Gan said, taking out a package, untied it carefully, and taking out a gorgeous set of clothes.
"Go and wash your hands and faces, try your clothes first, be careful not to get dirty. You can't afford to pay for this set of clothes if you sell them!"
Chen Yue obediently washed his hands and face and began to dress up with the help of Ma Gan.
Wearing a long gown made of purple high-quality lake silk, a silver belt with gold edges, a sachet embroidered with golden patterns was hung on the belt, and a piece of blue and beautiful jade was tied. He sported a thousand-layer thin-soled official boots, an octagonal free-spirited hat, and a blood-red jade on the middle of the forehead of the hat. He held a folding fan from Japan in his hand, and Chen Yue's tall and upright figure and handsome face. He was not a fool, but he was obviously a handsome young man and a young master in the turbid world.
"It's good that a fool is acting like a fool!" Wu Liang looked at Chen Yue jealously and said.
"It's really good. This is not a fool, he is obviously a romantic husband." Ma Gan sighed.
"Take it off quickly, you fool will never think of wearing such good clothes in your life. It's really a bargain." After a moment of stunnedness, Ma Gan scolded.
Reluctantly taking off his clothes and changing into his own ragged clothes, Chen Yue looked at the two of them silly, so they knew that the fool was asking for benefits.
"Give it," Ma Gan photographed a big cake in Chen Yue's hand. "Silly, I remember to come to this place at 1:00 tomorrow morning. If you come late, I will peel your skin!"
Chen Yue walked out with a silly smile and held the cake. As soon as he left the door, the smile disappeared.
It is obvious that these two people are planning a fraudulent act. I wonder what role they are playing this time? Are they still taking the blame for them like before?
Chen Yue sneered. No matter what the two of them were thinking, he was no longer the same as he used to be! He didn't want to take the blame anymore. Chen Yue pretended to be stupid and wanted to see what the two were going to do, and then be the oriole behind the mantis, and viciously humiliated the two of them to avenge the bullying and foolings over the years!
After making up his mind, Chen Yue did not go far, but hid in an alley and stared at the house where Ma Gan and Wu Liang were.
After waiting for an incense stick, Wu Liang walked out of the yard with a swagger and headed towards Xuanwumen Street with his plump belly.
Chen Yue hid in the alley without moving because he knew that among Wu Liang and Ma Gan, the one who really made the decision was Ma Gan. Wu Liang just relied on his big arms and round waist to charge into the battle. Only by following Ma Gan can he know what they were trying to do.
After waiting for a while, he saw Ma Gan leaving the yard, and Chen Yue followed quietly.
Ma Gan walked on Xuanwumen Street, and looked at the situation on the street, walking casually. Chen Yue followed carefully, keeping a distance, and trying his best not to let Ma Gan find himself by covering the pedestrians on the street. Fortunately, Ma Gan was very alert and did not find anyone following him.
Ma Gan walked south along Xuanwumen Street. Chen Yue thought he was going to the outer city. Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was divided into four cities, outer city, inner city, imperial city, and palace city. Xuanwumen was the gateway connecting the inner city's outer city. After Xuanwumen, it was the outer city of Beijing. Unexpectedly, Ma Gan did not leave Xuanwumen, but turned east and walked along the city's street towards Zhengyangmen. To the north of Zhengyangmen is the famous Qipan Street, which is where high-ranking officials and nobles live. What exactly is Ma Gan doing? Chen Yue had a question in his heart.
Walking on the streets below the city and looking at the tall city walls and the arrow towers standing beside him, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel emotion. In terms of the defense of the city wall, Beijing City is the best. Whether it is the Mongolian cavalry scattered north of the desert or the Manchu Jurchens who are lying outside the pass, they have no choice but to use this city. The Qing soldiers entered the pass several times and did not dare to make the decision to attack the Beijing City. This shows the strong defense of the Beijing City Wall.
But no matter how strong the city wall is, it can never defeat the chaos of people's hearts. When tens of thousands of Shun troops approached the city of Beijing, it took only a day to fall the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
I felt emotion in my heart, and saw the sling in front of me stopping and turning into a teahouse.
"Piaoxiang Teahouse" is the name of the teahouse. After looking at the torn clothes on her body, Chen Yue didn't know if he would be driven away by the hall after entering. After thinking about it, he still walked towards the teahouse. He had to figure out who Ma Gan met and what abacus he was planning.
There are more than a dozen tables on the first floor of the teahouse, and a runway hall with white towels hanging on its arms is shuttled between the tables to pour tea and water for guests. The first floor of the teahouse is a scattered seat, while the second floor is an exquisite elegant seat. Most ordinary people drink tea on the first floor. If you are rich and powerful or have important things to talk about, you will go to the elegant seat on the second floor.
Chen Yue entered the teahouse and glanced around. He didn't see the shadow of the ma gang on the first floor, so he walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
The busy pavilion on the first floor did not notice Chen Yue. It was not until he went up the stairs to the second floor that he was stopped by a pavilion on the way downstairs.
"Hey, beggar, this is not where you come up! Go down quickly." The young Paotang chased Chen Yue with an empty plate.
After crossing the body of the paotang, Chen Yue saw Ma Gan in the elegant seat on the right. Next to Ma Gan was a man wearing a royal blue gown. Due to the angle, he could only see half-pull side face.
He smiled at the paotang for a while, and Chen Yue went down the stairs before Ma Gan turned his head and looked. The paotang kept scolding Chen Yue until he drove him out of the teahouse.
Crouching on the street opposite the teahouse, Chen Yue squatted on the ground and drew circles, his eyes looking at the teahouse from time to time.
After a long time, I saw Ma Gan coming out of the teahouse. Chen Yue did not follow him anymore, but waited for the person who met Ma Gan. Before he could wait for the longest time, he saw the man in a royal blue gown walking out of the teahouse.
Chen Yue followed him until he saw him enter an inn.
"What are you doing?" The inn's guy looked at Chen Yue with a vigilant look. He didn't look like someone who could afford a store.
"Please, what did the person who entered just now do?" Five copper coins slid out of Chen Yue's hand and reached the inn's hand without the smell of fireworks.
After slamming the copper coins in his hand, the guy's face calmed down.
"A running official from Henan, in order to find a good job, seeks a way for gods and Buddhas all day long." The guy said disdainfully, and it could be seen that he was proud of his identity as a capitalist and did not even take officials from other places seriously.
After hearing what the guy said, Chen Yue laughed. He finally figured out what Ma Gan and Wu Liang were going to do. It was just to deceive the money of running officials from other places.
In this scam, Ma Gan acts as a middle-aged man, and he and Wu Liang are the scam helpers! The reason why Ma Gan seeks himself as a helper is that in addition to everyone's long-term "cooperation", it is also because the fools in the past only need a full meal to pass, so that one person can share the money.
I'm afraid you can't help this time, Chen Yue sneered. This time, not only will he have to get the reward, but he also has to take back all the things that Ma Gan and the other two owed him before! And with this money, he can leave the dangerous capital with his father Chen Jianghe and go to the safe and prosperous south!
