Chapter 12: The Human Heart Is Sinister
Hu Xianxian's hands shook in fright, and the fire fold was extinguished. The cold wind blew in through the holes in the walls of the ruined house and the strange screams of the man reached their ears, making the eerie place even more terrifying.
Cheng Haofeng hurriedly came over to light the fire, pulled the cloth stuffed in the man's mouth, and scolded: "Tell me quickly, where did Master Pan go?" “
The man howled a few times before he said, "How do I know? I'm all tied up here...... Thank God, Daoist, you came to my rescue. “
"Stop gossiping about me. I only ask you, where did you get Master Pan? Cheng Haofeng sneered and kicked him.
The man didn't speak, just hummed and screamed in pain, which sounded quite pitiful.
Hu Xianxian pushed Cheng Haofeng, "What are you kicking him for?" You can't assume he's a kidnapper just because he looks fierce! How can there be a kidnapper who ties himself up? “
"He's setting up suspicions and stalling for time. Do you believe that as soon as I let him go, he will bring us down? Cheng Haofeng pointed to the man who was still tied behind his back.
An embarrassed look flashed in the man's eyes, and he whispered in defense: "How can it? You are my benefactors, and I can't repay you yet. Girl, help me untie the rope, my hands are numb. “
She wanted to stretch out her hand but hesitated, but Cheng Haofeng stopped her with a stern look.
Then he asked the man, "How did you find you in the north street when you said that the gates of the city were opened at the base of the wall?" “
The man's eyes twinkled, and he said, "We were going out of the north gate, and we were tied up for some reason as soon as we got here." “
Cheng Haofeng snorted coldly, "Hurry up and hand over Master Pan, without the smell of beeswax powder, I can't chase here!" “
The man was still pretending to be stupid and saying something, and Hu Xianxian had already understood: "You are really kidnappers. You deliberately gave Master Pan ecstasy to make the people he brought think he was sick.
And then on the pretext of healing him, you coaxed them out of the inn and into the trap which you had set in advance. His people have no defense against you, and you will easily get your hands on it.
But you didn't expect us to come after us soon, so you tied you up to confuse us. If we focus on you, others can quickly transfer Master Pan, or they can sneak attack us while we are unprepared. “
The man looked at Hu Xianxian and smiled, and said a little proudly: "You're not too stupid." But you're still stupid, what's the use of you finding that Master Pan? Is it worth saving what he is doing for being rich and unkind? “
Cheng Haofeng retorted with a gloomy face: "We don't want to save him, we don't want Hongbin Lou's reputation to be damaged."
You followed him for a long time before you deliberately picked on him when he lived in Hongbin Building, just because Hongbin Building has few people and many things, and there is no background, it is easy for you to start.
I can think that after you succeed, you will throw the corpse at the door of Hongbin Building, and then find someone to say that he died after eating unclean things in Hongbin Building! “
After listening to this analysis, Hu Xianxian's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at the man and scolded: "You...... Your intentions are too sinister! I still sympathize with you! Did you kill Master Pan? “
Cheng Haofeng shook out the fire fold in the wind, looked out the window at the sky that had begun to brighten, and urged: "Tell me quickly, where did your accomplice hide Master Pan?" If you don't say it, I won't send you to the government, I will send you to the underworld! “
The man was not afraid, and smiled, "I'm going to die, but it's true that your Hongbin Building is a black shop." “
Cheng Haofeng also smiled: "I said to send you to the underworld, but I didn't say that I wanted to kill you." If you want to get the money without leaving a trace, you'll break it up or stun six of his minions halfway through.
The servants will not be killed, and if you kill them, the matter will soon be revealed, and you will not be able to get out of the city.
I will hand you over to them, they don't want to take the responsibility of not protecting the master, so they will naturally use all kinds of means against you. Can you stand the means?
Also, your accomplices will only be interested in getting out of the city as quickly as possible and will not come to your rescue. It's better to die than to live......"
When Cheng Haofeng said that his accomplices would only care about going out of the city and would not be able to come to save him, the man's face turned pale and he scolded in a low voice: "Damn, the city gate is about to open, they can go happy!" Throw Lao Tzu here! “
As he spoke, he snorted at the pile of grass on the back wall, Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian understood, and went to pick up the grass and reveal a stone slab.
Cheng Haofeng asked Hu Xianxian to look at the man above, and pushed off the stone slab and jumped down!
Because Cheng Haofeng was not around, she grabbed a dry branch in her hand with a weak heart. The man laughed, "You have a fart for a branch, it's all rotten, and it has to be broken before it can be next to anyone." “
Hu Xianxian looked at the branches, and deliberately crooked his mouth and glared fiercely: "I won't fall for you bandits, it's better to have a weapon than empty-handed." “
The man said with some gloom, "Who is the bandit?" That Master Pan is really eating people and not spitting out bones! We were all forced to go the wrong way by him. I ran into him a few days ago, and I wanted to get a lot of money from him and just stopped it, but I didn't get off the phone. It's easy to get your hands on, but I don't know I'll meet you again. “
Hu Xianxian scoffed at his statement, "He forced it? If he has harmed you, you can seek revenge on him directly.
But is this the first time you've done something bad? If you can choose to start in Hongbin Building, it means that you are very experienced.
You have done bad things more than once, have those people also harmed you? “
The man looked ashamed and whispered, "That's not true, but we didn't think about taking people's lives before." We just tricked them out of the inn, and then exchanged the stones for the gold and silver in the merchant's luggage. “
As he spoke, his voice was a little higher, "This Pan Zongqiang is really not human, he just cares about letting us rush to work and mine overnight."
I was sick and was hit on my forehead by a falling ore if I didn't pay attention! Not only did he not pay for the medical expenses, but he also fired me because it would take me time to recuperate......
Damn, I can't even find a job to make a living. “
Hu Xianxian saw that he looked sad and angry, and he believed it, and his tone softened: "Then you can't go the wrong way." “
The man smiled wryly, "You still don't believe it, do you?"
Let me tell you the truth, the four of us are all from Gaojia Village at the foot of Qinglong Mountain outside the north gate. My real name is Gao Youbao, and the fat man's name is Gao Youde, and he is my uncle's son.
The two fishmongers were also surnamed Gao, and they were members of our big family. You go to Gaojia Village to inquire, were we people who used to keep to ourselves? “
Hu Xianxian looked at his eyes, there was no cunning look in his eyes, and she believed him, "You said this to me, do you want us to stop being nosy?" But what should we do? We can't explain it to the Pan family. Everyone else in the hotel saw that Mr. Pan was sick in Hongbin Building and was sent to the hospital. “
Gao Youbao groaned: "We won't kill him this time, and put him at the gate of Shanfu Temple in the northern suburbs." “
When Hu Xianxian was hesitating whether to agree to him, Cheng Haofeng came up and said loudly: "You go to the Yamen to report to the officials and let them block the north gate." I'm going to chase people! “
He sped away, and she hadn't figured out the situation yet. At the mouth of the cave crawled out of a scarred man, "What fucking bad luck! That girl robbed people, and we worked in vain. “
Hu Xianxian was completely stunned, put the branch across his chest and said loudly: "Don't come here, my aunt and grandmother are not afraid of you!" “
The person who climbed up was the short and fat bald head Gao Youde, he didn't even look at Hu Xianxian, turned around and went to the entrance of the cave to pull up the two people dressed as fishmongers.
Hu Xianxian was dumbfounded, "You guys, why are you all injured?" “
Gao Youbao beckoned Gao Youde to loosen his ties, and looked at her like a fool and said, "You still don't understand?
We tied up that together, and she turned out to be the one we couldn't mess with.
While I stayed on top, she informed the man who answered her, and when the man went down, their men and my men were fighting. “
Gao Youde rubbed his swollen face and said, "The kung fu of the people brought by that girl is very good, we can't beat it." Although the Taoist came down and overturned a few of them, the girl had already taken advantage of the chaos to run into the tunnel with Pan Zongqiang. The man was not familiar with the tunnels, so he had to go out to the city gate to block people. “
It turned out that the enchanting woman snatched Pan Zongqiang from the Gao brothers, black eats black! Because she couldn't see that such a delicate woman would cut off her beard from the kidnappers, she really didn't understand.
But after figuring out the ins and outs, she threw the stick and ran desperately towards the yamen, muttering in her heart: Don't make a mistake, blame me, blame me, why is she so slow to react? Alas, I didn't think that people's hearts were sinister before, but I still didn't meet wicked people, or I didn't know through them......
