When they arrived at the wine stall, Fan Mihu was pinching Xiaoyi's nose and pouring wine into his mouth, while Heibie was sitting beside him, grinning foolishly.
The wine was poured down his throat, and Xiao Yi choked and started coughing.
"You are the worst villain, you fight without rules and you throw lime at my head as soon as we meet. That's not how a man behaves." Fan Mihu pointed at the lime powder on his body that he hadn't cleaned off and said angrily.
Xiao Yi wiped away the tears that had been choked on her and said, "I didn't know you before, so of course I had to use dirty hands in a fight. Look at my small body. If I didn't take advantage of others, how could I have the right to hit others?"
"Okay, let's not talk about the fight, but what about the drinking? You're making excuses and looking down on me?"
"Don't bully Xiao Yi, you fool! He's young and can't hold his liquor, so why bother competing with him?" Hei Bie picked up the wine bowl and said, "It's just a small loss, right? Come on! I'll make it up to you..." He looked up and saw Gao Yanei and his men approaching. He quickly stood up and said, "Hey! Yanei, why are you here?"
"Why, can't I come?" Gao Yanei walked over, sat down in the middle with his horse and sword, and asked Fan Mihu, "Are you the disciple of Xiao Guansuo?"
"Who are you...?" Fan Mihu looked at Gao Yanei and then at Hei Bie.
Black Turtle quickly introduced: "This is Gao Yanei, the son of General Gao Dianshuai. Why don't you quickly pay your respects?"
"Do you still need to bow?" Fan Mihu stood up and bowed reluctantly, "Greetings to the young master."
Gao Yanei waved his hand and said, "Alright! No need to bother with all that nonsense. Sit down."
"Well... I'd better leave." Fan Mihu didn't sit down, but turned around to leave.
"Brother, you have been cheated by others." Zhang Shixun suddenly said this.
"I was cheated. Who cheated me?" Fan Mihu blinked.
"The man who gave you the money." Zhang Shixun noticed that this guy had small eyes and looked sleepy, but he was very strong and had thick thighs. It was obvious that he had good lower body skills.
"No way? The one who gave me the money was Cao Jiu. I often play backgammon with him. He is a very loyal person." Fan Mihu blurted out.
This guy is really confused. He sold out the person who instigated him without even thinking.
"What does Cao Jiu do and why did he give you money?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"He was originally the gong-beater in Sun Sansi's group. But because Sun Sansi's wife was mean, Cao Jiu left."
"He gave you money to cause trouble at Sun Sansi's place?" Zhang Shixun pressed on, not giving him time to think.
"He said that Sun Sansi owed him money for half a year and wanted to renege on the debt. Cao Jiu couldn't get over this, so he took out money and asked us to go and boo him. The price was not low, one string of coins for ten days. I thought it was a good deal. It was just booing, not something that would harm others. So I went. In total, I've been gone for five days." Fan Mihu didn't hide anything and told us everything he knew.
"Oh! Don't just talk, sit down and drink with us." Zhang Shixun smiled and patted the stool next to him, then winked at Hei Bie.
Black Turtle understood and helped Fan Mihu sit down, saying, "This is Mr. Zhang, a very chivalrous man. Sit down and have a drink with him."
After he sat down, Zhang Shixun filled his glass with wine and said, "I see that you are a man. I am glad to meet you. Come! Let's have a drink." As he said that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and showed him the bottom of the bowl.
Seeing his generosity, Fan Mihu also raised his head and drank the wine in his bowl. He asked a little awkwardly, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Haha! It's not a big mistake. I was just taken advantage of."
"Ah!" Fan Mihu stood up quickly and said, "I'll go find Cao Jiu and ask him clearly." Then he started to leave.
Zhang Shixun grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to go after I finish what I'm saying. It won't be too late right now."
After Fan Mihu sat down, Zhang Shixun poured him another bowl of wine and asked, "Have you ever thought about this? Cao Jiu hasn't received his wages for six months. Where does he get the money to give you?"
"this……"
"There must be someone behind Cao Jiu, but... I don't know who this person is." Zhang Shixun tried to guide him.
Fan Mihu slapped his thigh and said, "I remember now. Cao Jiu has been interacting with a steward named Wang recently. I heard his master is a high-ranking official. Could it be him...?"
"You may have guessed right." Zhang Shixun nodded with a smile and looked at Gao Yanei.
Gao Yanei couldn't help but ask, "Is this Steward Wang's master Wang Shaozai?"
"I only know the last name is Wang, I don't know anything else."
Zhang Shixun took out a tael of silver, placed it on the table, and said, "Brother Fan, I heard you're short on money lately. Take this tael of silver to help you out."
"How can this be done, sir? It's not possible." Fan Mihu said with a red face.
"It's nothing. Everyone has difficulties sometimes. Take it. We became friends after fighting." Zhang Shixun pushed the silver forward.
Black Bie took the silver and stuffed it into his hand. "The great master asked you to take it, so take it. He won't incite you to do anything bad."
"Thank you very much, sir. I will return it to you when I have money." Fan Mihu stuffed the money into his arms and said, "If you need me for anything, sir, please let me know."
Zhang Shixun took the opportunity to say, "Brother Fan, this matter is very complicated. There must be an even worse person behind that manager. We also vaguely know who this bad guy is. However, in order to confirm it, we still need Brother Fan's help."
Fan Mihu patted his chest and said, "Master, tell me what you want me to do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, I will do whatever you ask me to do, without hesitation."
"Well! I guess Cao Jiu will come looking for you again in the next two days. You should find an opportunity to find out the details of that Manager Wang. I want to know who is behind him."
"Okay! I agree." Fan Mihu agreed without hesitation.
Gao Yanei had already drunk several bowls of wine while the others were talking. Seeing that the conversation was almost over, he raised his wine bowl and said, "Don't just talk, drink."
Zhang Shixun picked up the wine bowl and saw Fan Mihu sitting there motionless, so he said, "Brother Fan, let's drink."
Fan said confusedly, "I can drink with you, but I don't want to drink with him."
"Why?" Zhang Shixun asked curiously.
"My master said that no official is a good person, and the son of an official is even less so."
Gao Yanei suddenly jumped up, pointed at Fan Mihu and cursed, "Grandpa is already giving you enough respect by inviting you to drink, and you, a thief, actually humiliated me."
As he said that, he picked up the wine bowl and poured it at Fan Mihu.
Fan Mihu was caught off guard and was drenched in cold. He immediately became furious and roared, picked up a stool and smashed it on Gao Yanei's head.
