Chapter 321: Set a Trap
Meng Hu was in the room, pacing back and forth, and the people of the mighty mountain downstairs gathered together and sat around, and the table of the eight immortals was full of melons and fruits.
But no one took it, and it was left there as it was.
"Husband, you've locked yourself in your room for so long, and you won't go down to eat, if you really don't have an idea, why don't you let them go back first!" Zhang Jue was not at ease, and had already come outside the house several times to persuade him.
"I've got an idea." Meng Hu opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Jue took the door and slowly followed him downstairs.
Ahem~
Meng Hu held his throat and coughed a few times, and everyone's eyes moved to him, waiting for him to speak.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry, let you wait here for so many days, doing business affects your wealth, and those who don't do business also delay your time with your wife and children, I believe I am also very curious, why did you suddenly call here, that is my guilt......"
When Meng Hu said this, he suddenly paused, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking about something. The people below looked at each other in confusion, so even Zhang Jue was the same.
"Big brother, why are you guilty?"
"Yes, when you were in the mountains, you didn't have enough food and clothing, so where did you feel guilty?"
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Jue stood in the direction of the backlight, looked up, and only saw the tall and upright figure of his husband, as well as a group of people underneath. Although there were some apprehensions and doubts in my heart, out of instinctive reaction, I still chose to believe in my husband, since he said that he had thought of a way, he could solve the problem.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, I have to listen to my husband talk about this matter slowly." Zhang Jue restrained his expression.
Meng Hu turned around and gave Zhang Jue a knowing look, and then took out the belt from his inner pocket and put it in front of everyone.
Meng Hu raised his head and stared at everyone, his gaze kept wandering between them, not wanting to let go of the strange look on any of their faces.
Slowly, he said, "Do you think this belt is familiar?" β
"Isn't this the belt we used when we were in the mountains? I don't know whose this one is? A fat-headed, big-eared man said.
Immediately, a lean man echoed: "Big brother, could it be that you want to find out the owner of this belt?" β
What Meng Hu saw on their faces was all curiosity, and most of those people with strange expressions still couldn't stand him selling off, and they felt a little impatient.
"I just want to find the owner of this belt, when I was in danger when I was on the mountain, he saved my life, but when I divided the property, I actually forgot about it, and now I have taken root here, recalling the days on the mighty mountain, I feel more and more uneasy and guilty, but after a long time, I can't even remember the man's face clearly, so I only left his belt."
Meng Hu's gaze continued to wander away from them, but he still didn't notice anything unusual.
"If any of you can help me find him, I will be rewarded!" Meng Hu shook the belt, and then walked in front of him one by one, wanting them to remember clearly, the length and material of the belt and the degree of wear.
"Big brother, I feel like this belt is like a little six!" A person walked forward with a smile, Xu because he was nervous, he kept scratching his head and cheeks.
Meng Hu glared at him fiercely: "Are you sure, I haven't finished my words just now, if someone causes me to report the wrong favor, and find someone to replace it at will, I will chop it into minced meat and feed it to the dog!" β
The man was like a vegetable below, and even his teeth chattered when he spoke: "Big ...... Eldest brother...... I'll ...... this belt It's familiar, and as for whether it's Xiao Liuzi, I'm not sure! β
Meng Hu skipped him and walked to the next person: "Of course, don't be afraid, if anyone helps me find a benefactor, I will also be rewarded, and the reward is no less than when I divided the property on the mountain." β
Zhang Jue shook his head helplessly, he wanted to impersonate that person just now, he was an old widow, and he had no children under his knees, only a nephew, Xiao Liuzi.
As soon as Meng Hu's words fell, those people became interested, especially when they heard the word money.
"Big brother, you might as well measure the length of this belt, so that we can have a reference when we go back to find it."
"yes, there are a few people I know who haven't come, I'll have to ask them then."
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as I heard that there was a reward, and it was so rich, many people who had the mentality of watching the drama just now now wished that this benefit would fall on their heads. The main reason is that when the property was divided on the mountain, Meng Hu took out the entire Weimeng Mountain. Many people also went down the mountain to get rich because of this money, and now when they hear that the reward is more than this, they are naturally tempted.
Meng Hu immediately asked someone to take a ruler, accurately measured the belt, and put the belt in everyone's hand, telling them to weigh it, so that the evidence of the crime was taken back into his pocket.
"I'm next year, I don't want to farm, I'll eat the old bottom first, if this person is found, our family will have to live for several years!" A bloated woman went out and hurriedly swirled to the raindrops, grabbed her wife, and deliberately lowered her voice.
Of course, there are naturally not a few people like him who are thoughtful, and even many people who do business also want to put their business aside, and contact the mighty mountain brothers they know first.
Meng Hu looked at the way they saw the money, both happy and sad, happy things, and then they would help themselves find criminals, sad that the brothers who were born and died together on the mountain at the beginning are now running around for a money word and livelihood, even he, the eldest brother, will inevitably fall into clichΓ©s and mingle in the market to beg for food.
"Husband, but what else is there to worry about?" Zhang Ying brought some dry food over at this time, but found that those people had already left, and when she heard her sister finish what had happened, she looked up at Meng Hu and found that he had a gloomy face.
"No, it's just a little emotional." Meng Hu came back to his senses and saw the steamed bread in a dustpan, and he had told his wife to make more for the brothers to eat on the road, but those people couldn't wait for a moment when they were in a hurry.
"They can't eat it, let's keep it and eat slowly! Fortunately, this is winter, you can put it for a few more days, man, the little guys eat together, and they will be consumed in a few days. Zhang Jue was really afraid that her husband would be worried, so she hurriedly comforted.
"I'm glad you!" Meng Hu's heart was a little sour, especially when he turned his head and looked at his two ladies dressed in coarse linen clothes.
