Niu Fugui was very suspicious that Ye Sheng and Dugu Aoxue were killed in the mine, and if they fought openly and secretly, it was possible for the other party to do anything unfavorable to him. His mine has been safe and sound for so many years, but as a result, Niu Fugui just let people move a knife at the banquet yesterday, and his mine was looted today?

Niu Fugui's suspicious eyes stared at Ye Sheng, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Liu Shaoxia and the Dugu City Lord didn't go to inspect my mine today?" "Go!" Ye Sheng looked at Niu Fugui with a smile, "I was singing with the master of Dugu City, and when I went out of the city, I was suddenly robbed by bandits!" ”

"Oh? Who else dares to rob the Dugu City Lord? Niu Fugui stared at Ye Sheng directly, not letting go of any change in his expression, "So, Dugu City Lord killed them all?" "The lord of Dugu City is kind-hearted and never draws his sword easily." Ye Sheng smiled, "I showed my identity on a horse, and those bandits got out of the way of the Dugu City Lord's name, so they got out of the way and fled!" When I arrived at the bare mine, it dawned on me that the gang just now was the bandits who ransacked the mine. ”

Niu Fugui wanted to speak and stopped, but he just stared at his eyes and thought about it without saying a word. Ye Sheng leaned back in the chair and patted Chen San's arm beside him, "Boss Niu, are you familiar with this person?" Niu Fugui squinted at it, looked at Chen San's cramped gaze, pondered in his mind, and said, "It's a little familiar." ”

They are all from Longgang, and they may have seen it on which street or alley. It's just that Niu Fugui is just familiar with Chen San, but he has forgotten who the other party is. Ye Sheng opened his mouth to introduce, "This one is the worker who worked in your mine, when the bandits slaughtered the mountain, the workers fled in panic, and he was the only one who hid under the mountain rock and was safe, and then, I found him and brought him back." ”

"Oh?" Niu Fugui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are you from the mountain?" "Yes!" "How many jobs are there in the mountains?" "Those who open the mountains and quarry stones, and those who transport them by carts. I'm the one who started the mountain quarrying. "How many roads are there in the mine?" "One in two, two in three." "How many taels of silver will I give you in January?" "I should give 5,000 taels in January, but I haven't been withholding it, so I just eat and live in the mountains."

Chen San's two elder brothers have both worked in the mountains, so it is naturally easy to answer this kind of question. After a few words of cross-examination, Chen San answered correctly, and Niu Fugui was sure that this person was really a worker in the mine.

So, Niu Fugui anxiously asked, "Tell me about it!" What's going on in the mines! "If it's really the bandits, then Niu Fugui must find those little bastards and cut them into pieces! Chen San saw that the culprit who persecuted him to become a bandit was close at hand, he had mixed feelings, clenched his fists and lowered his head, and said slowly, "When I was working on the mountain, I saw a group of bandits rushing up the ......mountain on foot on horseback from a distance."

"How many of them are there?" "Probably a few hundred." "How did the guards on my mountain behave?" "Some of them fired arrows, some shouted threats, but the bandits didn't care, but took the lead in drawing their bows and shooting several mountain guards." Listening to Chen San's answer, Niu Fugui is strange, where did the bandits come from so arrogant? "Go on."

"And then the two sides fought! The workers ran and fled. There were also many workers who were innocently implicated and killed by those bandits on the mountain. I don't know martial arts, so I can only find a place to hide. Those bandits are not low in martial arts, well-trained, after killing all the people on the mountain, they pushed the cart and pulled all the ore in the cave away, and heard them say that they will go to the next place to continue the robbery! ”

Chen San is fluent in the story and narrates the whole thing. Niu Fugui was suspicious, angry in his heart, could it be an outsider? Only outsiders dare to ignore the three words Niu Fugui and plunder their own mines! "Do you know where they're from?" Niu Fugui stared at Chen San and asked, "Where did they come from and where are they going?" ”

"I don't understand their dialect." Chen San couldn't answer anymore and glanced at Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng smiled, held the tea and said slowly, "The vernacular of the person blocking the road is not standard, with a strong Xiangjiang accent. I speculate that it was the bandits from Xiangjiang who came to Longgang and plundered it, and then they went from the north. ”

"It turned out to be a southern barbarian!" Niu Fugui snorted coldly, dissatisfied, and slapped the handrail hard, "Huang Xiaogui!" Fill the city with signs! Who can capture alive the Xiangjiang bandits who slaughtered my mine and killed my subordinates! I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver! "Yes!" Huang Xiaogui knew that his master was very angry, so he immediately turned around and went to do it.

Ye Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked at Niu Fugui and sighed slightly, he deserved to be a rich man who slammed the door, and he mobilized the people, but the bounty was only 10,000 taels. Moreover, aren't you the 'Nanban' in your mouth? What a guy with no self-knowledge.

"County Magistrate Ma has also sent officials to arrest these bandits!" Ye Sheng crossed Erlang's legs and leaned lazily on the chair, "Boss Niu, these bandits have been endangering the people of the south for many years, it's time to annihilate them in one fell swoop!" "Liu Shaoxia is right! Only by cooperating with the public and the private sector can we achieve success! Niu Fugui hugged his fists, "There is something else at home, so I will leave!" ”

Niu Fugui's fat figure quickly disappeared outside the mansion yamen, Chen San stared at Niu Fugui's back tightly, clenched his fists and said, "My eldest brother and second brother died because of this bastard, just now, I really wanted to step forward and strangle him!" "It's useless for you to strangle him now." Ye Sheng comforted Chen San indifferently, "Niu Fugui is dead, but the rest of his party can still call for wind and rain in Longgang, if you want to uproot, you still need to wait!" ”

"Just by the call of the child! I'm Chen San, fix the liver and brain! Chen San clasped his fists with both hands, excited, he was really a treasure to meet a talent like Liu Bo!

The looting of the mine was temporarily relieved, and Niu Fugui did not have time to care about the workers who disappeared, so he squandered a lot of money and hired more people to take back the mine, but because of the lack of workers, the mine could only suspend work. There was a storm of bandits in the city, after all, whether it was Niu Fugui or County Magistrate Ma, they were all earnestly calling for this trip.

Approaching the evening, at sunset and dusk, Ye Sheng moved the wine and food and sat in the courtyard, Chen San was waiting to pour the wine on the side, Dugu Aoxue and County Magistrate Ma were late, and County Magistrate Ma, who had been frowning, finally looked better. "I heard that there is a lot of limelight outside, and Niu Fugui really thinks that his mine was ransacked by bandits! Unexpectedly, hundreds of people were gathered to prepare to suppress the bandits, which really made me laugh! ”

County Magistrate Ma frowned with a greasy face, got up and poured wine for Ye Sheng and Dugu Aoxue, and then he thanked, "I, Ma Bond, am very grateful to Dugu City Lord and Liu Bo Shaoxia!" Xiaguan toasts first! It is precisely because there are two of them here that this Longgang can see the sun! ”

"It's still far from the blue sky and red sun in Longgang." Dugu Aoxue still didn't touch the wine glass, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, "The mine can't operate, Niu Fugui has no new source of income, but there are still mountains of treasures in his mansion to support him to do evil, and it is not easy to bring him down at once." ”

"What's not easy about this!" Ye Sheng smiled disdainfully and disapplied, "I heard that Niu Fugui is unscrupulous, as long as it is a person from the rivers and lakes, he will accept it correctly, and those who come will not refuse?" "That's right!" County Magistrate Ma gloated and laughed, "It seems that this Niu Fugui is really resentful of that imaginary bandit to the extreme, in just one day, one hundred and eight Jianghu warlocks have been added to his mansion, ready to scatter all over the country tomorrow to suppress the bandits!" ”

"That's right, I'm going to teach Niu Fugui a lesson, it's called luring wolves into the room!" Ye Sheng smiled, and County Magistrate Ma touched his smooth head and asked, "Is Liu Shaoxia going to buy the martial arts people in Niufu to make trouble secretly?" "It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Ye Shengmei smiled, "We only need to come to one trick to name the surname, and another trick to blame others!" ”

Chen San didn't understand, and stood behind him confused. And County Magistrate Ma's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up with excitement, "High!" It's really high! "The matter of taxation is back in his hands, and he is gradually regaining his power. So County Magistrate Ma seemed very happy tonight, drunk and unconscious.

Chen San carried County Magistrate Ma back to the room, and in the cool courtyard, only Ye Sheng and Dugu Aoxue were left. By the moonlight, Dugu Aoxue's face appeared shiny and bright, Dugu Aoxue's eyes were clear, staring at Ye Sheng and asking, "What are you going to do tonight!" "I'm not going to be Liu Bo tonight, I'm going to be Ye Sheng!" After three rounds of drinking, Ye Sheng's face was a little ruddy, but he was still very sober, he smiled obscenely, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to explore the Niu Mansion together?" ”

Dugu Aoxue thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, it's not safe to walk with you." "Not safe?" Ye Sheng was displeased, "You mean I'm going to implicate you?" Dugu Aoxue shook her head indifferently, "No, but I want to stay in the mansion to avoid extraneous branches." ”

Ye Sheng was curious, "You mean that people who are rich and noble will come to investigate?" "I mean the same assassin last night!" Dugu Aoxue precipitated like water, "Last night, the assassin of the Xiaoyao Palace was instructed by someone to assassinate me, and if there is a first time, there will be a second time, so I have to take strict precautions." ”

"That's right!" Thinking of the assassin last night, Ye Sheng's drunkenness faded a lot, "Since it's not Niu Fugui, who is it who wants to kill you?" Since he can send a sect like the Xiaoyao Palace, it shows that he is powerful and powerful, and it is by no means ordinary. "You haven't thought of it yet?" Dugu Aoxue stared at Ye Sheng and smiled mockingly, "I've already guessed it." ”

Despised by Dugu Aoxue, Ye Sheng was unhappy, got up angrily, he waved his sleeves away, "Hmph! Anyway, it's you and not me that person wants to kill, what's my business! Looking at Ye Sheng's back with his chin raised and arrogantly entering the room, Dugu Aoxue smiled, what a child!

The slender fingers touched the teacup, and Dugu Aoxue's smile became colder, since he is so obsessed and wants to take my life, then don't blame me for being ruthless! If another Assassin comes tonight, he must cut off his limbs and find out the wind!
