During this time, he also restrained his subordinates and tried not to conflict with the people of the shopkeeper Liu, he didn't want to fight on both sides, first concentrate on dealing with Yang Xianmao, and then come back to clean up the shopkeeper Liu, because the strength of the shopkeeper Liu is also not inferior to him, and the two sides are fighting at the same time, and he is not sure to win. Ethereal.2.

At this moment, he was sitting in the inner house, listening to the various small leaders of the boat gang report on their business and other important matters in recent days, and several important leaders of the boat gang were present, including his youngest son.

He has a total of two sons, the eldest son has been killed by Yang Xianmao, and the second son is actually more liked by him, so he has asked his son to start taking over some important matters of the boat gang and participating in the discussion of core secrets.

While they were talking in full swing, a maid came from under the porch, carrying a teapot on a tray. The two martial arts masters at the door waited for her to get close and scolded her, and asked, "What are you doing?"

In fact, they recognized it, this woman is the personal maid of the husband and wife of the shopkeeper, this maid often follows the shopkeeper and his wife, and the guards in charge of the inner house also know him, and the duty of the guard must be to find out the appearance and identity of the owner of the inner house.

The maid hurriedly bowed over and said, "I'll mix the water in the pot, it's almost cold." ”

The guards glanced at each other, and the butler standing on the side looked at the two guards Nunuzui, and the guards stepped forward to check the little maid, and there was no murder weapon around him, so he took the water and opened it to see, and it was indeed half a pot of hot water, so he said to Nunuzui inside: "Go in." ”

The maid bowed a salute, then walked in with the tray and put it down on a table by the door, then took the teapot and walked around the back of the balcony, to the table next to the shopkeeper, covered the tea lid with her hands, carefully poured tea for him, and then carried the pot to pour tea for the leaders of the guards, in the whole process of pouring tea, the shopkeeper almost did not speak, waiting for her to fill all the tea, and then went out with the tray, and the shopkeeper said: "Okay, you go on." This shows how important the matter they discussed was, and they did not even say anything about the maid who was next to them.

The maid went down with the teacup, and the people inside spoke dryly, and they wanted to drink water, but the tea in front of them was very delicate, and they drank a cup in two sips, so after mixing the tea, they all took it and drank it.

In the council chamber, a very fat leader suddenly tilted his head, leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep, and even snored, and the others looked at him in astonishment, but the others also felt sleepy, and suddenly wanted to doze off, and only for a moment, they tilted their heads and fell asleep.

In an instant, almost everyone in the hall staggered and fell on their chairs, including the shopkeeper and his youngest son, and even one person fell directly from the chair, and even the tea cup on the coffee table fell to the ground.

Suddenly the pause in the sound and the sound of things falling attracted the attention of several guards under the verandah of the council hall, and they glanced at each other, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and was suddenly startled, only to see a piece of the council hall upside down. Hurriedly stepped forward to the side of the shopkeeper, and after checking, he was breathing steadily and his pulse was beating normally, so he was a little relieved, but he didn't know why he suddenly fell into a coma, and carefully shook his shoulder to call him, but the shopkeeper didn't react at all, no matter how they shook it.

The guards panicked and ran out to ask the others to hurry up and invite Langzhong, while the other guards issued an early warning alarm and sounded the gong, indicating that the enemy might be invaded.

All localities immediately became nervous, and the personal guards everywhere also took strict precautions near the council hall. One of the guards said urgently, "Is that the girl who came to pour the water just now a ghost?" because she was the last to go in. ”

The other also nodded and said: "No matter what, first arrest her and then torture her slowly, it may not be her, it may be someone else, I know that woman, he is the maid of the horse shopkeeper, it is impossible to do this to the horse shopkeeper." ”

Two guards hurriedly rushed to the inner room to find the maid, but the maid seemed to be steamed in the world, but there was no trace, and suddenly the two guards were even more nervous, and told Mrs. Ma about it, Mrs. Ma was startled when she heard that her husband had fainted, and quickly ordered: "Quickly carry our master and second young master to the inner house, strictly guard and protect, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

After the guard got the order, he hurriedly ran to report that Lang Zhong had come urgently, and after checking, he was also very puzzled, and several attendants carried the horse shopkeeper and his son to the courtyard of Mrs. Ma in the inner house with a soft couch, and the other important leaders of the boat gang were all transferred to the wing room in the front yard, and found Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat.

After the shopkeeper and the second son were sent to the lady's inner house, they were placed on the big bed and the small bed where the maid slept next to them.

That Langzhong is the retired old imperial doctor in Yuzhou, after hearing Mrs. Ma's question, he didn't feel ashamed, shook his head and said very blankly: " The old man looked at it carefully, the pulse and breathing of the old man and the young master were very normal, and there was no sign of poisoning, but I don't know why they suddenly fell asleep, and the old man tried his best, but he still couldn't wake them up, it was really strange, to be honest, the old man had never encountered this kind of disease in decades, but Madam, please rest assured, the old man and the young master's bodies did not have any signs of poisoning and illness, and they must be able to wake up after a while. ”

Madame clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Since this is the case, thank you sir, reward Mr. quickly, and send Mr. back." ”

Then a maid came and took the imperial doctor with her,

Mrs. Ma thought for a while, and ordered the housekeeper to come in and said, " I always wonder if the master and the young master are involved in some evil, just now I did things, and got the revelation of the gods, and the villagers told me that there is a god called Yaksha in Qingfeng Temple, and he can dissolve the evil in our lord, but it takes 10,000 taels to do things, so you immediately take 10,000 taels and send them to Qingfeng Temple to hand them over to Qingfeng Dao Chief, and let him immediately do things to pray for the master, and tell him that Qingfeng Temple has a very mysterious god statue, called Yaksha Girl, tell Qingfeng Dao Chief, let him give the money to Qingfeng Ju to worship. ”

This Mrs. Ma particularly believes in Taoism, at the same time she also eats fasting and recites Buddha, it can be said that Buddhism and Taoism still believe, of course, the rich are willing to let more Bodhisattvas and gods and Buddhas to bless her, this housekeeper knows, can't help but secretly a little funny, but listen to Mrs. to take out 10,000 taels of silver, I was taken aback, although this number can still be taken out for the Ma family, but this number is too big after all, and the cash will have to be made up for a while.

So the housekeeper was a little embarrassed and told Mrs. Ma, who waved her hand and said, "I don't care what method you use, you must deliver the money within today, and come back to report to me after it is delivered." ”

Mrs. Ma has always believed in Buddhism, basically just ask the whole class, but he is Mrs. Ma, and the shopkeeper is very respectful to Mrs., so when the shopkeeper can not command, Mrs. Ma's words have considerable weight, and she is to pray for the shopkeeper, so the housekeeper grandfather quickly ordered to remove all the money from the treasury on the Majiazhuang to transfer down, and there are already six or seven thousand taels to be transferred out, and then from the docks everywhere to mobilize the rudder, the money collected is finally enough for 10,000 taels, and the mighty carriage pulls it and comes to Qingfeng Temple。

When the head of Qingfeng heard about it, he invited the steward of Majiazhuang to the meditation room to serve tea.

After retreating left and right, the housekeeper whispered to the Qingfeng Daoist: "Our owner suddenly fainted, unconscious, the imperial doctor can't help it, Madame asked the gods to get a revelation, to give 10,000 taels to the goddess of the Yaksha of your Taoist temple, and she will help drive away the evil spirits, we have brought the money, please sign for it." ”

Qingfeng Dao Chang was taken aback when he heard this, because of the matter of this Yaksha goddess statue, except for him and Yang Xianmao, no one in the Taoist temple knew that this is not a Taoist Buddha statue, Taoism is not enshrined, and the entire Buddha statue is covered with a green cloth, and the door is closed, no one knows that there is a Buddha statue here, why does the lady of the horse shopkeeper know, and she has to send 10,000 taels to let herself worship the Yaksha goddess spirit?

It was only a moment for him to guess a possibility, that is, could it be Yang Xianmao who was doing something in it?

Yang Xianmao left Yuzhou, there was no news for half a year, and the Qingfeng Taoist of Qingfeng Guan also knew that Yang Xianmao had a holiday with the Ma Jiazhuang shopkeeper before, and he didn't know what was going on, could it be that Yang Xianmao used some means to make Ma Jiazhuang lose such a large amount of money to him, because other people didn't know about the Yaksha girl, and others would never take so much money to worship a god, so only Yang Xianmao had made an agreement with him before, and the money earned by Yang Xianmao was put in the belly of the Yaksha girl for Yang Xianmao to use freely, and the last time Yang Xianmao left Yuzhou, he had taken all the money in his stomach。

It was only an instant, and Qingfeng Dao Chang was basically sure in his heart that this money must be related to Yang Xianmao, and he believed that Yang Xianmao would definitely appear after this incident.

In the face of such a huge amount of money of 10,000 taels, Qingfeng Daoist did not have greed, although he had no other skills, but he still paid great attention to credibility, and firmly believed that a gentleman loved money in a proper way, and he did not mix half a point in this matter, of course, this money could not be swallowed by himself, so Qingfeng Daoist did not say much, but just nodded and agreed. said that he would definitely try his best to get things done, please rest assured that Mrs. and Master would be assured.

Then all the heavy boxes were moved in, of course, except for the housekeeper and the Qingfeng Dao Chief, no one else knew that these boxes contained boxes of silver, and all the boxes of silver were moved to the outside of the room where Yang Xianmao lived, and half of the room was piled up.
