Chapter 41: Collusion between Officials and Bandits
The epiphany room is a luxury room, on the fourth floor of Xinxiang Building, there are guards outside the room, and it is still not possible to break in directly. Xiao Heng found the shopkeeper again and wanted to open a room next to the epiphany room.
But I didn't think that the entire fourth floor was covered. is so cautious, he is really worthy of Mu Zongxin, an old fox. He thought for a moment and took out the money bag: "Then help me open an osmanthus room." ”
The osmanthus room is on the fifth floor, facing the epiphany room. According to his observation when he first came, both the osmanthus room and the epiphany room have balconies, and the balconies of the epiphany room are larger. And when I was looking for those two people just now, I saw in the courtyard of Xinxiang Building, and the curtains on the fourth floor were closed, probably to avoid being seen, but they became his Xiao Heng's cover.
Locking the door, Xiao Heng walked to the balcony to take a brief look, this balcony was facing a barren forest, which was not easy to find. He prepares himself and takes the leap down.
He Yunhuai's light skills were really effective, but they were only moving softly, and there was a lot of noise inside, so they didn't attract the attention of the people in the house. He leaned against the wall by the balcony door and listened.
"But the amount of last month has not been settled, and this brother who is full of mountains must not ask for food?!"
"My lord is angry, the head of the family is a trustworthy person, and he won't just leave it alone. Wait a little longer......" Before the man could finish speaking, the man who spoke first rebuked angrily: "Don't prevaricate me with a word! One word, give, or don't give! ”
"Give, I will definitely give it, the right sect master will calm his anger first, and wait for my family master to reply......"
"I'm really a bully! If you can't pay off the arrears after seven days, I will take this Mu family sooner or later! ”
"Yes, yes, little one. So this month's salt transport, I don't know what Quan Zong's idea is? ”
"Three hundred people will send you to Jinling, not one of them will be many."
"Huh? Ahaha, these three hundred men...... Wouldn't it be too .........? ”
"I haven't paid for all the money, so it's nice to be able to give you half a person! How, don't? ”
"No, no, this, enough, enough." Maybe I was afraid that there would really be no half of us if I continued to talk about it, so I hurriedly responded.
"That's pretty much it. Remember it for me, go back and tell the old guy Mu Zongxin, pay the money with one hand and hand over the person with the other, if he can't get the money, he doesn't have to ask for it! ”
"Yes, yes, Sect Master Quan will go slowly."
The sound of a few falling things sounded, and it seemed that there were still people who were angry. Although he only heard the latter point, Xiao Heng already knew it in his heart: Quan Zhen, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, sitting in Jiubi Mountain, Mu Zongxin can have this ten thousand family property, I am afraid that cooperation with these bandit nests is indispensable.
If he listened to it again, he probably didn't have much information, so he jumped down again and went to the balcony on the third floor.
He originally wanted to go all the way down to the courtyard, but he didn't expect a familiar voice from the room: "Amin, what can I do?" If you don't go, the hard work of your ancestors for generations will be ruined......"
It was Guan Gongzi's voice. It's not like the hanger just now, it sounds exhausting at this time. Xiao Heng didn't plan to continue listening to the corner, and when he wanted to continue, Guan Gongzi's sharp voice sounded: "Who is here!" ”
A sword struck with a sound. Xiao Heng dodged sideways, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his backhand, and carried the sword into the house: "It's me, I offended just now." ”
Guan Gongzi saw that it was him, but he didn't let go of his heart, and punched him straight over: "Why are you here?" ”
Xiao Heng knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't fight back, but just dodged: "When I came down from above, I happened to pass by, and I didn't hear anything." ”
Guan Gongzi saw that he was sincere and didn't fight back, so he stopped for the time being, but he still looked guarded: "Gongzi came down from above, did he listen to me again after listening to someone else's corner?" ”
"What a misunderstanding. It's true that the one above listened, but it really didn't offend you, and I didn't have to listen to your corner, right? ”
Guan Gongzi finally believed a little. The girl who had been silent on the side played a round game: "Don't quarrel with the two sons, sit down and have a cup of tea, the top Biluochun, just such a handful, you can't usually drink it." ”
Xiao Heng handed the sword to Guan Gongzi and sat down first to show no malice. Guan Gongzi also sat down in disbelief. Xiao Heng picked up the teacup and bowed his hand to Gongzi Guan: "I have offended a lot today, please forgive Gongzi." ”
Guan Gongzi saw that he had a sincere attitude after drinking a cup of tea, so he believed him and took a sip. Xiao Heng casually mentioned: "I have seen Gongzi a few times today, I must have a fate, I don't know the name of Gongzi?" ”
Guan Gongzi smiled: "Go to the rivers and lakes, don't ask the name and the source." ”
Some people provoke enemies, or for other reasons, and they will not easily tell each other by name. Xiao Heng understood and poured him a cup of tea. The two chatted for a few words, and Guan Gongzi suddenly mentioned: "I don't know if Brother Xiao just met the leader of the Green Dragon Gang?" ”
Xiao Heng took a cup in his hand. He looked at Guan Gongzi again quietly, and Guan Gongzi smiled: "He doesn't come often, and most of the strategists around him come to settle accounts." I don't know who this is, if Brother Xiao wants to know, just follow him away. ”
At the entrance of the tea, I raised the strings in my heart: "Why do you tell me?" ”
"Well, it's fun to help others." Guan Gongzi didn't seem to care, "Mountain bandits often come, and there are few things that are beneficial to the world." ”
To put it bluntly, he is a righteous man. Xiao Heng looked at him carefully, but the white veil on his face still hadn't been taken off, which only added a little bit of femininity. Guan Gongzi noticed his gaze and smiled nonchalantly: "Ruined." ”
It's a pity. After chatting casually, seeing that it was almost dusk, Xiao Heng got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, don't stay more." ”
Guan Gongzi nodded, got up and sent him out. At the time of parting, Guan Gongzi suddenly said again: "Brother Xiao should take care of other people's affairs, so as not to set himself on fire." ”
I don't know if it's about the mountain bandits, or if it's about him. Xiao Heng nodded and left.
