Because of the cover of the mask, the bonus of age made the little carpenter look very calm, and in the face of the gatehouse blocking the road, he did not show weakness, and directly called the steward of the mansion to come over.

But the man was not frightened by the little carpenter, but glared at him viciously, and then said, "Come here to stir up trouble?" It's too much, don't you look at what day it is, what's going on, can't you go back and talk about it? ”

The other party's words made the little carpenter a little embarrassed, and he had to lower his attitude and said sincerely: "Little brother, we heard that your house is in trouble, so we came to the door to see if we could help." ”

He turned around quickly, and the porter was suspicious, saying that he really didn't come to ask for trouble?

The little carpenter shrugged his shoulders and said, "Naturally not, if you really want to stir up trouble, I will bring a little girl over?" ”

Gu Baiguo was well-behaved, delicate and cute, far more convincing than his featureless face, and sure enough, the porter looked at Gu Baiguo with a sincere smile, but was relieved.

He turned around and shouted to a young man passing by, "Little Ba, you go and call Steward Hu over, someone here says that he can help solve the troubles in our house." ”

When the man heard this, he glanced at the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo suspiciously, answered, and turned to leave.

The gate was full of people, and the porter invited the two to rest, and after a while, an old man with a short beard came, wearing a melon skin hat, and squinted at the two little carpenters, before he stepped forward to talk: "Are you looking for me?" ”

The little carpenter said, "I'm looking for the master." ”

This housekeeper Hu is a well-informed person, and he does not despise the other party because of the little carpenter's inconspicuous appearance at the moment, but arches his hand and says: "The people of the main family are guarding the mourning, if it is not necessary, everything will be conveyed by me." ”

The little carpenter nodded, and said that it was fine.

Steward Hu asked, "I don't know what the purpose of the two of you is here?" ”

The little carpenter said: "I heard that there is a wooden talisman in your mansion that can lead to the first vein of the Great Snow Mountain, and I need this thing because I have something to do and want to ask the doctor of the Great Snow Mountain." But I don't force it, I heard that your house is in trouble now, so I came to the door to see if I could help solve the trouble, in exchange for the wooden talisman. ”

When Steward Hu heard this, his eyelids jumped sharply, and he immediately asked with some surprise: "Who told you that my house is in trouble?" ”

The little carpenter pointed in the direction of Qingyang Guan and said that he had heard it in the Laoxi Teahouse.

Steward Hu pondered for a while, and then said: "I really can't make the decision about this matter, the guest waits for a while, I will go to the mourning hall to report to the master's house, and then come back to reply to you, is it okay?" ”

The other party said politely, and the little carpenter naturally gave up his hand and said yes.

Steward Hu left, the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo waited in place, and the porter saw that Steward Hu was polite to them, and he didn't dare to slack off, and stood by the side, accompanied by a smiling face from time to time.

The little carpenter, as an uninvited guest, seemed very patient, but after waiting for a while, the butler Hu did not show up, and he felt that something was not right.

Immediately afterwards, he found that the number of people entering and exiting this gate had gradually decreased from the time before the time of a cup of tea, and then there were no more.

The surroundings began to get deserted.

Although the mourning suona in the front yard is still there, there are some things that are not natural.

The little carpenter sensed that something was wrong, and at this time, someone came over to greet the porter: "Lao Zhuang, Aunt Wang called you, come over for a while." ”

The porter heard this and was about to leave, but at that moment the little carpenter grabbed him and then strangled him by the neck.

As soon as he moved, more than 20 people poured out of the originally deserted gate, all of whom had a guy in their hands, some were kitchen knives and axes, some were rakes, but some were holding sharp single knives.

There are also more than a dozen people in the alley of the front door, and these people are more elite, all with sharp blades.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe and a white cloth wrapped around his head walked from the side door of the front yard, walked straight to the crowd, and then raised his hand, but it was a swarthy box cannon.

Gun.

The man pointed his gun at this side, and the little carpenter hid himself behind the porter, and said, "Guys, what do you mean?" ”

A person squeezed out next to the middle-aged man, but it was the Hu steward who had disappeared just now, he pointed to the little carpenter and said, "You thief, you do the good things yourself, you don't know?" To do such a vicious and ruthless thing, I still have the courage to come to the door, really when I have no one in my house, they are all idiots? ”

The middle-aged man also said slowly: "I'll make dozens of sounds, let go of Lao Zhuang, otherwise I will kill you." ”

The little carpenter looked confused and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Can we make things clear before we do it? ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but said directly: "Lao Zhuang, I'm sorry, this enemy killed my mother, I definitely can't let him go, I have to count, if he kills you in a while, I will let him pay for your life, and then turn around and give your parents a pension - ten, nine......"

This man obviously hated the little carpenter, even if he held the hostage's life in his hands, he did not have the slightest scruples, and directly opened the countdown.

When the little carpenter saw this, he knew that he was placed by Xu Meiniang, the owner of the Meizu Sect.

Where did the woman provide him with information, it was clear that she was asking him to come and send him to death.

But even so, the little carpenter tried to communicate with the other party: "Can we have something to say?" Can anyone stand up and tell me why this is happening? I just heard that your house needs help, I'll come over to see if I can help, and it's okay if you don't give the wooden talisman......"

As he spoke, he motioned for Gu Baiguo to hide behind him, and at this time, the middle-aged man continued to count: "Eight, seven, six, five, four......"

The little carpenter saw that the other party had no intention of communicating at all, and began to think about several possibilities to solve the matter.

However, he thought of several plans, but there was no way to guarantee Gu Baiguo's absolute safety.

He was afraid that he had dodged the bullet of the pistol, but he let Gu Baiguo be shot.

When the other party counted "two" without hesitation, the little carpenter sighed in his heart, but let go of the porter Lao Zhuang, then raised his hands and said, "I admit defeat......"

He let go of his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man's hand.

He was betting that the other party would not shoot, after all, in this Jinguan City, it would be a big deal to rush to shoot, and since he had given up the confrontation on his side, he would naturally not take such a risk over there.

Of course, if the other party didn't communicate with him at all, directly pulled the trigger, and shot him to death, the little carpenter was also confident that he would avoid the gun in an instant, and then quickly leave with Gu Baiguo.

Someone may have asked-since the little carpenter has confidence in this, why didn't he escape with Gu Baiguo under the cover of the porter's body?

Because he's gambling.

The little carpenter thinks that he is open-minded, and even if there is any misunderstanding, he can explain it clearly.

And he learned the skills of the ghost king, even if the situation is bad, he feels that he can handle it.

That's the confidence he chooses to let go.

Sure enough, as soon as he gave up, the middle-aged man's fingers on the trigger were released, obviously not thinking of shooting him immediately, but several people immediately rushed to the side, and one of the strong men smashed a punch directly in the face of the little carpenter.

Immediately afterwards, four or five people threw him to the ground, pressed him hard, and then tied him up with ropes.

Even Gu Baiguo held down the hands of the two of them.

At this time, the middle-aged man walked up to him, grabbed the little carpenter by the collar, and said viciously: "Dog, there is a kind?" ”

The little carpenter was caught at this moment, but he didn't panic at all, but laughed: "Okay, I'll be arrested, but now, can we communicate?" ”

The man was obviously a little surprised that the little carpenter had finally chosen to let go of the porter, and was finally willing to speak.

He said, "Okay, what do you want to ask?" ”

The little carpenter was pressed, but he smiled very calmly, and then said: "I'm not sure what kind of misunderstanding there is, but if we can communicate, the misunderstanding should be able to be eliminated - first of all, I want to ask, why didn't Your Excellency say anything, and just did it when you saw me?" ”

The man smiled coldly and said that you are quite pretending, okay, let me tell you - I know all these things that Your Excellency is doing here in my house, and I have also found an expert to see, and the other party said that he can't deal with these arrangements you made, but it is certain that Your Excellency will definitely not make these things for no reason, and will definitely come to the door to ask for benefits, but I didn't expect that you would dare to come to the door so openly and brightly. Well, I also tell you, even if Lao Tzu doesn't want this house, he will never compromise with you. I'm going to use your dog life to pay for my mother's life......

The little carpenter was still confused, and said, "Brother, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”

The man snorted and said What's the matter, now I'm afraid?

The little carpenter shook his head and said I'm not afraid, but I want to tell you one thing - I need to go to the Great Snow Mountain because I have something, so I'm looking for the wooden talisman, just tonight, I went to the Laoxi Teahouse next to Qingyang Temple, a broker named Ma San said he could help, and then he helped me contact a woman named Xu Meiniang, the woman told me, saying that your house has that wooden talisman, and you have been in a lot of trouble lately, if I can help solve the problem, maybe I can get the wooden talisman......

After he finished telling this, he said: "I don't know if Xu Meiniang is gone, but you can find Ma San to come over and help me testify." ”

The middle-aged man listened, but he didn't believe it, and said with a sneer: "Clever tongue, come here, tie up that little girl, I want to take the lives of both of them to pay tribute to my dead old lady......"

This guy can't prick the needle, and the water can't splash in, but he wants to do something to Gu Baiguo, which makes the little carpenter suddenly burst out in anger.

He knew that he had fallen for Xu Meiniang's calculations, so he had to admit it.

But he couldn't stand the gang being rude to Gu Baiguo, and shouted, "Don't touch her." ”

Where did the gang listen to him, they also stretched out their hands and pressed towards Gu Baiguo at the moment, Gu Baiguo screamed, his face was full of panic, and at this moment, the little carpenter who was originally tied up, but suddenly, his hands slipped out of the tight knots, grabbed the middle-aged man's pistol, and then pressed it against this guy's temple.

At this time, he repeated the sentence he had just said: "Don't touch her." ”
