Chapter 53: You Are Stalking Me?
It is not appropriate to suppress bandits, but the way is still to be considered, Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of what Ergou said yesterday.
There are many inconveniences for women to go out, and Xia and Autumn have already prepared a few sets of men's clothes. After changing her clothes, she went straight to the east of the city.
Seeing Xia Qiulai, Ergou was a little surprised, "Sister, I'm just about to look for you." ”
"Yesterday's incident, how did you investigate?"
"I'll do it, don't worry." When Xia Qiu came, he brought a big bag of steamed buns over, and Ergou asked the little beggar to distribute it to everyone, and then took her to a secluded corner, "Sister, the merchant's brother's name is Niu Yong, and after the death of his family, he was stunned, and he took a knife every day to find those two gangsters in the county." The two gangsters were also afraid, so they took refuge in Wu Tongxing. Niu Yong saw that there was no hope of revenge, and angrily went to Woniu Ridge to become a bandit. He was also a little lucky, he saved the life of the big boss in an operation, and in less than two years, he sat in the fifth position in the bandits' den. ”
Xia Qiu groaned, "Is there a way to see Niu Yong?" ”
"Niu Yong rarely goes down the mountain, but every time his family dies, he comes back to worship."
"What day is the death day?"
"The day after tomorrow." Ergou thought for a while, and said: "But he doesn't specify a day for worship, usually a few days before and after, why don't I send someone to guard it first, and notify you as soon as there is news?" ”
Xia Qiu felt unreliable, "It won't take long to worship, and by the time you notify me, he will have already left." ”
Wu Tongxing wore the same pants as the bandit leader, and asked them to take the initiative to return the grain, which was simply a fool's dream.
Lu Tingxiu was seriously injured, and the county government was controlled by Wang Xiancheng and Yang Zhushu, for raising food and raising the people, they would only fall into the ground, but fortunately, they were just scribes, and they couldn't set off much storm.
The third class led by Xu Mingliang set up the Ming Lord, but Wang Xiancheng was his top after all, and he was bound to do things, and he couldn't count on him to mediate with bandits.
Xia Qiu plans to go out on his own.
"Sister, the grave of the Niu family is in the suburbs, I will accompany you."
This is also the reason why Xia Qiu likes Ergou, this child has a flexible brain and is thoughtful, which is quite reassuring.
The two hurried out of the city and rushed to Niu's grave in the suburbs.
I don't know when Niu Yong will appear, it's rare to have a leisurely time. I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so I found a secluded place in Xia and Autumn to make up for my sleep.
The second dog was not idle, stealing sweet potatoes from distant farmland, and roasting them fragrantly.
The two took turns squatting, Xia Qiu's luck was not too bad, and when the sun set, Niu Yong really came.
He walked quickly and steadily, carrying incense paper and candles in his hands.
Niu Tong is only in his early twenties, which is a good time for men, and he has become a bandit in the mountains when he meets his family, but in just two years, his face has been full of vicissitudes and he looks as rough as a middle-aged man.
Bandits, who make a living by killing, robbing and killing people, should have been cold-blooded and cruel.
But the five big and three rough men, kneeling in front of the three mounds of mounds, burst into tears, and kept slapping themselves when they talked about their emotions.
Far away, Xia Qiu couldn't hear what he said, but judging from his expression and actions, he was a lover of his personality, and he was still haunted by the events of the year.
After the worship, Niu Yong knocked his head three times and left reluctantly.
As soon as I reached the intersection, I was suddenly stopped.
Xia Qiu came out from behind the tree, they didn't know each other well, so it was better to go straight to the point, "I have a deal I want to discuss with the five masters in detail, I don't know what you think?" ”
There is no store in front of the village and no store in the back, so it looks like she is waiting for him here on purpose.
Niu Yong looked cautious, pulled out the short blade on his waist, and said fiercely: "You follow me? ”
"You only come back once a year, and I'm not here to guard you, where can I guard you?" Xia Qiu ignored his killing intent and said in a relaxed tone: "I'm a weak female streamer, what can I do to you?" Put the knife away, I'm here to talk about the deal, not to see blood. ”
Niu Yong is five big and three thick, forgive her and she is not his opponent, so he put away the short blade and said impatiently: "If there is a fart, let it go." ”
"I was also calculated by Yang Juan'er."
Her straightforwardness made Niu Yong unbelievable, and he looked at Xia Qiu in surprise. His sister looks like a flower, but this fat girl in front of her, cough!
Xia Qiu didn't hide it, "I can't fight the Yang family, that's why I asked you to join forces." ”
"How do you join forces?" For Xia Qiu, who suddenly popped up, Niu Yong not only did not have a trace of trust, but felt that she was in the middle of it.
Xia Qiu said secretly: "I am responsible for providing you with Yang Juan'er's whereabouts, as for what you want to do, that's your business." ”
Niu Yong snorted coldly: "Why should I believe you? ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm from the county. The new magistrate is young and promising, how could Yang Juan'er let go of this piece of fat, I naturally became a thorn in her side. ”
As soon as he heard that she was from the county, Niu Yong pulled out the short blade again and looked around in a panic. It turned out that she was the trust of the government and wanted to deceive him.
Xia Qiu guessed his thoughts, and said speechlessly: "Please, if I were the bait of the government, then there would have been an ambush of officers and soldiers around me, and you would still be allowed to stand here and talk?" ”
"She's really from the county." Ergou came out from behind the tree, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the city and inquire." The gang of people in the government are not fighting among themselves, how can they have time to arrest you. ”
Niu Yong sneered and mocked: "It turned out that he lost the fight, so he came to me." ”
"It's too early to talk about victory, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Xia Qiu ignored his contempt and said confidently: "Yang Juan'er is just a gift from me to meet you, if you do it well, there will be surprises in the future." Let's cooperate for a long time, you help me stabilize Linxian, and I help you fly Huang Tengda. ”
"Flying Huang?" Niu Yong laughed instead of being angry, "What an ignorant woman and child, she dares to speak wildly." ”
"It's not difficult for you to deal with Yang Juan'er, but what about those two gangsters?" Xia Qiu hooked the corners of his mouth, with a look of watching the show on his face, "They have done a lot of pickled things for the surnamed Wu in the past two years, not only has their status improved quickly, but they also have many brothers under them, and it is not a simple matter if you want to take their lives." Besides, your big boss and the surname Wu are brothers who worship the boss, and if you kill the person surnamed Wu, you will offend the big boss, will you still be able to mix in the mountains at that time? ”
Niu Yong was surprised, but he didn't expect to really underestimate her. It's just a fat girl, and she actually found out his bottom.
For her provocation, Niu Yong took a firm stance, "The big boss is kind to me, and I will not betray him." ”
"I didn't instigate you to betray anyone, I just asked you to face your own heart." Seeing Niu Yong's murderous intent on his face, Xia Qiu said calmly: "If you let go of your hatred, why did you cry so much in front of the grave just now?" ”
Niu Yong's face was ugly.
Immediately, she showed a look of sudden realization, "Oh...... It turned out that I would be mistaken. It's not that you haven't let go of your hatred, but you're begging your father and mother to know and forgive you for being an unfilial son. ”
Niu Yong was annoyed and ashamed, and scolded: "You talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I killed you?" ”
