120 Pre-funeral conspiracy
That night, there was a crackling gunfire like fried beans in the direction of the county office. The gunfire continued for about a cup of tea, and then fell silent.
Master Dai's eyes flashed when he heard the gunshots. Thinking of Zhou Xing's prophecy, he hurriedly sent his housekeeper Dai Hongzhong to pass a message to his brother Master Hou.
Early the next morning, both brothers claimed to be seriously ill and refused to see them.
The subordinates of Dai's mansion sent back news that the bandits besieged the county government last night, and the county magistrate's wife was unfortunately shot and killed. While the county magistrate was busy tracking down the whereabouts of the bandits, he ordered a beautiful funeral for his wife.
The magistrate of Ma Bond said with great sorrow that his wife died for Goose City, and all the landlords and gentry of Goose City would come to the funeral to show respect and mourning.
It was rumored by the people of Goose City that after Master Huang Shilang received the news that the bandits were besieging the county government, he immediately took people to help. It's a pity that he came one step too late, and the Tiansha bandits have already killed the county magistrate's wife.
Shocked to hear the bad news of the death of the county magistrate's wife, Master Huang helped the county magistrate Ma Bond to cry bitterly, and he vowed to put down the troublesome bandits and give the county magistrate justice.
At this time, he was running around for the funeral of the county magistrate's wife. This drama of a thief shouting to catch a thief is superb.
Zhou Xing was not idle. He took the drone and came to the vicinity of Sister Hua's restaurant again. Flying a drone in a corner where no one is paying attention, Sister Hua's small restaurant can see every move.
This time, he couldn't catch Zhang's mother, so Zhou Xing ate Xiang live broadcast. Sister Hua usually came out in the afternoon, and she brought a gift box, which seemed to be going to give gifts.
Zhou Xing controlled the drone and followed her all the way to the edge of the Yellow Mansion. Could it be that Sister Hua wants to give Huang Shilang a gift?
However, it was not like that, she did not enter the Yellow Mansion, but walked in from a fork in the road next to the Yellow Mansion. Under the drone's field of vision, Zhou Xing found that the fork in the road led to a small wooden house in the bamboo forest.
In the cabin lived an old lady with gray hair and a clumsy figure. Zhou Xing slapped his thigh, it seems that this is Zhang's mother. Lao Tzu's diamond has fallen!
Handing the package to the old lady, the two smiled and said a few words at the door, and Sister Hua turned around and left.
Zhang's mother's residence is close to the Huang Mansion, and I want to come to Huang Shilang to control Sister Hua with this. Zhou Xing originally wanted to use force to kidnap the old lady, but now it seems that the plan has to be changed.
At six or seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xing swaggered and knocked on the door of the cabin.
"Who?" Mama Zhang opened the door, and there was a faint light in the room.
"Mother Zhang, I'm Xiao Xingzi, I'm here to bring you a message, Sister Hua has an accident!" Zhou Xing used exactly the tricks commonly used by liars in later generations.
"Huh?" Zhang's mother was so frightened that she lost her mind, "What's wrong?"
"She was hit by a crazy horse on the road this afternoon, and she's still lying in the infirmary!"
As soon as the old lady's eyes were dark, she was about to faint, but Zhou Xing held her back. "I'll take you over and see you one last time. ”
The old lady panicked, and she didn't bother to verify Zhou Xing's identity, so she stepped into the carriage of Dai's mansion with his support.
The carriage circled around the goose city and returned to the south of the city. Zhou Xing instructed his subordinates to wipe out the wheel traces on the road to prevent future troubles.
Two subordinates of Dai's Mansion held the old lady under house arrest in a room at gunpoint. Zhou Xing ordered to eat and drink well, and no one was allowed to contact the old lady without his order.
Master Dai saw that Zhou Xing had tied up an old lady and was suspicious, "Son, what are you?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't, just know I'm helping you. Zhou Xing yawned and went back to his room to sleep. After staring at it all day, my eyes ached.
Zhou Xing didn't sleep long before he was called by Master Dai. "Childe, you guessed right, the county government has come and invited me and my eldest brother to attend the funeral of the county magistrate's wife!"
Master Dai admired Zhou Xing, who was like a god, and threw himself to the ground. Zhou Xing tied up a useless old lady, and he didn't care about it, just let him toss.
"Then are you going?" Zhou Xing asked sleepily.
"Of course I don't go, I know it's a dead end, and I still go to find death? I told my eldest brother that I was seriously ill and didn't show up for the guests, and everything was handled by the housekeeper. ”
Zhou Xing gave a thumbs up, "Since that's the case, then please go to the hospital bed and lie down, and prepare some decoction by the way, otherwise the county magistrate's people will come and see you jumping around, what do they think?"
Zhou Xing woke up the dreamer with a word, and Master Dai hurriedly went to do it. In less than a moment, Peng Hongzhong, the steward of Dai's mansion, came over and asked Zhou Xing to go to the master's bedroom to discuss something. When Zhou Xing arrived, he saw Master Tang sitting at the head of Master Dai's bed, holding his hand and asking for warmth. There was a smell of Chinese medicine in the room.
Hehe, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive!"Nephew, come over and see Master Tang! Ahem!" Seeing that Zhou Xing was coming, Master Dai pretended to be weak and ordered.
"Master Tang is auspicious!" Zhou Xing clenched his fists and arched his hand. Master Tang glanced at Zhou Xing and continued to talk to Master Dai.
"Master Dai, you said that the funeral of the county magistrate's wife is such a big thing, and you and Master Hou will not come forward as the two major families in the south of the city, so it's not appropriate, right?"
"Don't blame the county magistrate and the master, the old man is indeed seriously ill and can't get out of bed, and he is definitely not negligent. Ahem!" Master Dai coughed again, and this time his face was flushed, as if his lungs were about to come out.
Master Dai hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and when he spread out the handkerchief again, it was shockingly red.
Zhou Xing was impressed by his acting skills. Seeing the situation, he leaned over and persuaded, "Master, Lang Zhong said, you are tuberculosis and can't be tired!"
"What??" Master Tang saw that Yin Hong's handkerchief had already believed a little, and he was so frightened that he took a step back and almost sat on the ground. As we all know, tuberculosis is easily contagious and is an incurable disease.
"Let the master laugh! cough cough..."Master Dai let out a few long coughs again. When it comes to acting, none of these landlords are weak chickens. Zhou Xing admired them a little, and even made a blood-stained handkerchief.
"In that case, Tang said goodbye!" Master Tang almost ran away and left. Master Dai and Zhou Xing looked at each other and smiled, after this scene, there should be no unwarranted disaster.
"Childe is so clever that he guessed that the county magistrate would send someone to verify the authenticity. ”
Zhou Xing smiled faintly, showing his mastery style. "Master Dai is not bad, he coughed up blood!"
"Haha, it's just chicken blood!" "Master Dai was triumphant.
...
"What? You said that the heads of the two major families in the south of the city are suffering from tuberculosis?" Zhang Mazi instinctively disagreed.
"I saw with my own eyes that both of them were lying in a hospital bed, coughing blood. There was a smell of soup in the room, and it seemed that their time was running out!" Master Tang said with a swear.
"Why am I so unbelieving?" Zhang Mazi fell into deep thought. He originally wanted to tie up Huang Shilang and the heads of the two major families in Chengnan at the funeral, and after extorting a sum of money from the three of them, he would kill Huang Shilang.
He immediately shook his head, he only arranged for the second brother to arrange this idea, and the other brothers didn't say anything, there is no reason to leak the news. However, during this critical period, the heads of the two major families in the south of the city suffered from tuberculosis at the same time, which is also too coincidental.
"What about Huang Shilang?" Zhang Mazi asked again.
"Huang Shilang promised to attend in person!"
Then that's enough. I can't knock out the money of the two major families in the south of the city, and the same is true for knocking Huang Shilang's money. The revenge of the six sons can still be avenged.
The same dialogue takes place in Huangfu. Huang Shilang also didn't believe that the two major families in the south of the city became seriously ill overnight. However, he couldn't figure out the strange thing, since the two of them couldn't attend the funeral of the county magistrate's wife.
Then he himself doesn't have to go!
