Xiong caught his head before and after bowing, kneeling and kowtowing and begging for mercy, not only because of Yang Xianmao's strong martial arts, but more importantly, he knew that Liu Wuye took care of this Xiao Langzhong, he personally came to visit and thank him, and asked the people below to go to him to see a doctor when they were sick, the meaning of care is already very obvious, if you offend this Xiao Langzhong, let Liu Wuye know, don't say that your job is not guaranteed, I am afraid that your life may not be able to be saved, because this Liu Wuye is not only a rich man, he has close contacts with the prefect and the county, and there is a group of people under him, he killed him with a sticky stick at night, tied him with a stone and threw it into the river, no one.. lā

Therefore, when Xiong Zhutou knew that he had offended the benefactor who had saved Liu Wuye's son, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Yang Xianmao said lightly: "Isn't the head catcher going to arrest me as a murderer? Why is this like this again?"

Xiong Zhutou slapped himself twice with his left palm without a needle, and said: "The villain has no eyes, and he doesn't know the prestige of Shaoxia, so he is really offended, but it is really because the people of the Xu family reported to the official in the morning, saying that their housekeeper and the two family members followed Shaoxia, and they disappeared very strangely on the way back, let us help check it." The villain was blinded by lard, thinking that Shaoxia had done something, so he was offended just now, please forgive Shaoxia. As Shaoxia said, several of them may have been hiding for some reason, such as being collected for debts, or getting lost or something, or they fell in love with a kiln sister and took this opportunity to elope with others. Since there is no corpse seen, it is not a homicide, and this case is not investigated, hehehe. ”

Xiong Zhutou didn't say that Xu Yuanwai had counted a lot of silver taels from them, and asked them to help find them, but Xu Yuanwai didn't expect that it was Yang Xianmao who killed their housekeeper and family, because if that was the case, it would be impossible for Yang Xianmao to come to their house to treat her daughter. I didn't expect this bear catcher to invite merit, and I first thought that it was this Xiao Langzhong, and he didn't inquire clearly, so he came to Xu Yuanwai's house to interrogate Yang Xianmao, but he didn't expect to stab it on the hornet's nest.

Yang Xianmao waved his hand and said, "Okay, since the head catcher also thinks that this case is not a homicide, there is nothing to do with me, you can go!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiong Zhutou hurriedly laughed, thinking that he had offended him, if he didn't make up for it, he was afraid that he would say a word or two in front of Liu Wuye in the future, then it was a trivial matter for him to lose his head catching errand, and he was afraid that he would be killed and thrown into the river, so he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and he was busy laughing, and took out a silver ingot, which was ten or two heavy, and handed it to Yang Xianmao with both hands, and said: "The little one offended the young man, and this little meaning should be to make amends." Please laugh at the young man. Hey hey"

Yang Xianmao frowned, what he was most tired of was this, because he was a person with five disadvantages and three deficiencies, and he was destined to not be able to keep the money, but this catcher gave him money, and this money could not be kept, so why take it over as a burden, so he snorted, turned around and left.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yang Xianmao, and said with a smile: "Shaoxia, the little one came in a hurry, and he didn't bring much silver taels, so when the little one went back to the yamen to get the money, he sent ten taels of silver to the young man to make amends." What does the young man think?"

Yang Xianmao raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "The head catcher thinks that Yang is a person who loves money?"

Xiong Zhutou was very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer. His eyes rolled twice, and he smiled again: "The little one knows that there are two chicks in Cuixiang Building, and they haven't opened the bag yet, otherwise, when the matter is over here, the little one will accompany the young man to Cuixiang Lou to open these two chicks." I lapping all the rates were small. How?"

Yang Xianmao snorted, too lazy to talk to this kind of person, bypassing him to go out, Xiong Zhutou hurriedly stopped him again, and said with a pitiful face: "Shaoxia, the little one really has no eyes to offend the young man, and I also ask the young man to give him a chance, so that the little one can make amends." Please. ”

Yang Xianmao was so entangled by him that he couldn't help it, so he said casually: "Since this is the case, I really have something I want to trouble catching my head, you can help me do it, even if I make amends, how about it?"

Xiong Zhutou was surprised and delighted, it was better to help Yang Xianmao do things, not only to make Yang Xianmao not angry, but also to get closer to him, and to save money, it was much better than simply sending money, so he quickly patted his chest loudly, and said: "Okay, what does the young man want to do, just give orders, the little one will go to the soup and go to the fire!"

Yang Xianmao just said casually, where was there anything for him to do, and said at the moment: "It's inconvenient to say this now, and I'm not in a hurry, when I go back, I'll come to the yamen to talk to you about this matter in detail when I have time." ”

Xiong Zhutou hurriedly agreed, saying that he was waiting for the young man to come at any time, and repeatedly patted his chest and promised that no matter how difficult things were, they would definitely be done.

Yang Xian Maotou didn't go back and went out.

He wandered around the Xu family's mansion, wondering why the shopkeeper didn't go to the yamen to report his son's disappearance, it seems that his son often doesn't come home, so maybe the shopkeeper doesn't know that his son has disappeared.

Yang Xianmao deduced that something was wrong, because the shopkeeper not only knew that her son was missing, but also suspected that it was Yang Xianmao's hand.

——————

The house of the shopkeeper.

After hearing the report from the spies sent out, the shopkeeper was walking around the room with a gloomy face.

The spies sent out reported that Ma Qiang took the fifteen killers who were invited by the beggar brother with a lot of money the night before, and kept an eye on the little Langzhong who was ready to kill him, and then Xiao Langzhong was carried across the river by a sedan chair from Xujia Village, and Ma Qiang took the fifteen people to cross the river in a small boat first, and it was estimated that they would prepare for an ambush on the road.

The horseman's men searched the way and found some arrows and abandoned blades in the grove, which were confirmed to be those of the fifteen masked killers. They also found blood on the dirt and grass, but they did not find the body, and they suspected that the murderer threw it into the river and sank it.

So the shopkeeper immediately sent the sailors of the dock to sneak into the river to salvage the body, but the bottom of the river was searched and could not be found, and it is estimated that the body has been washed downstream.

Yang Xianmao had already thought of this trick, so when throwing the corpses, several corpses were tied together and tied with a big stone, and an arrow was used to poke a few eyes in the stomach of each corpse, so that the corpse's stomach would not be flatulent and surfaced. The buoyancy of the corpse is roughly the same as that of the stone, so that the corpse is basically suspended in the middle of the river and does not sink to the bottom, so that it will be washed down by the surging river.

Although he couldn't find the body, the shopkeeper suspected that his son was alive, so he was shocked and angry, and prepared to send someone to arrest Yang Xianmao and ask his son about his whereabouts.

The people he sent out came back to report that it happened that the head of the Yamen Xiong Zhutou and others were in Xujiazhuang, so it was difficult for them to start. Only wait for Yang Xianmao to leave Xujiazhuang and arrest him on the way.

The shopkeeper spent a lot of money to invite several well-known killers to participate in this arrest. But he hasn't succeeded yet, but the shopkeeper believes that Yang Xianmao will fall into his palm sooner or later, and at that time, he will not only have to ask about his son's whereabouts, if it is really not this Xiaolangzhong who killed his son, then he can take the opportunity to force him to join his command, otherwise he will be killed, so as not to leave it to Liu Wuye to deal with him, because his spies have reported to him, saying that Liu Laowu really has the intention to recruit this Xiaolangzhong to his Zhuangzi as a nursing home.

Yang Xianmao didn't know that there was danger lurking on his way back. He has now stayed at Xu Yuanwai's house to see Miss Xu. Xiong Zhutou and the people had already left and returned to the yamen, and when he left, he told Xu Yuanwai when the corpses of the old housekeeper and the two porters would come to report the case again, and now they could not file a case if they did not see the corpses. Xu Yuanwai can't do it, it can only be like this.

Qingfeng Daoist did Dharma in Xu's house for three days, and the scholar who hanged himself in their study, and in private, the curious Daoist also heard the truth from Miss Xu and told Yang Xianmao.

It turned out that the scholar had a crush on his female student, but he knew that this marriage could not succeed. But this scholar is an infatuated person, seeing that the marriage with the student cannot be fruitful, he can't think of hanging himself in Miss Xu's study for a while.

Qingfeng Dao Chang was very grateful to Yang Xianmao, so he took half of the remuneration he got and wanted to share it with Yang Xianmao, but Yang Xianmao refused. After Yang Xianmao experienced such an accident, he no longer valued money, he just wanted to live a life of seclusion.

But life didn't give him his wish.

After five days, Yang Xianmao removed the sutures of the wound for Miss Xu, and saw that the wound healed well and did not suppurate, so she prescribed a few doses of medicine for her to continue to take, and then said goodbye and left.

Xu Yuanwai offered 50 taels of silver to thank Yang Xianmao, Yang Xianmao said no, he only charged a penny for medical treatment. Xu Yuanwai thought that Yang Xianmao was too little, and added ten taels of silver, saying that he was grateful to him for saving the little girl's life, and also found the root of the little girl's illness, and saved the scholar, so as not to have anything happen at home.

Yang Xianmao was entangled by him, so he took it, and he also wanted to verify whether he really couldn't keep the money, and how to get the money in and out with his left hand when it came.

So Yang Xianmao put the sixty taels of silver in a purse and put it on his back, and then put on his big wooden box for practicing medicine, and said goodbye and went out.

Mr. Xu wanted to send a sedan chair to Yang Xianmao, but Yang Xianmao was unwilling to sit in a sedan chair, waved his hand and refused, saying that he could walk back. Seeing that he insisted, Xu Yuanwai was not reluctant, and respectfully sent him all the way to the entrance of the village, so he thanked him again and again, and watched him go away.

Yang Xianmao had just left Xujia Village, and more than a dozen people flashed out on the side of the road, for a burly strong man, he hugged his fists and said: "Yang Langzhong, surnamed Zhang, because of his arm Tieqiao Kung Fu is passable, he is nicknamed 'Tieqiao Zhang'." Now he is the head of the nursing home under Liu Wuye, and he is ordered by Liu Wuye to pick up Yang Langzhong. Liu Wuye got the news that the person surnamed Ma was going to send someone to your disadvantage, so let us escort you back. ”

Liu Wuye arranged his own fine work under the Ma shopkeeper, so he got the news, so he sent the caretaker to lead Tieqiao Zhang and a few masters to wait outside Xujia Village, waiting to escort Yang Xianmao back safely.
