The bearded man hurriedly replied: "He brought seven or eight people, and it seems that they came to our cottage, because the brothers who were guarding the mountain found them, and they finally went up the mountain, hehe, but they were caught by our brothers." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What are these people coming from?" Li Xueying asked with a straight face.

The bearded man took a breath and said in a guessing tone, "I don't know, but one thing is certain, these people want to eat black." ”

"Black eats black?" Li Xueying frowned and asked, "Why is black eating black?" ”

The bearded man swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Wu Zhiyuan, who was sitting next to him, and hesitated slightly: "They must have thought that there is a big smoke in our cottage, so they want to kill the mountain and keep it for themselves." ”

Li Xueying thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say that they were brought by Mr. Yu?" ”

"That's right." The bearded man shook his head, "Maybe they originally made a deal with Mr. Yu, but later learned that they were going up the mountain to grab the big cigarette, so they changed their original intention and wanted to keep the big tobacco for themselves." ”

"On what basis?" Li Xueying asked.

"Because after our brothers confiscated their guns, they found that their wagon was full of three boxes of tobacco and soil, and the surface was all covered with porcelain, which means that these people themselves are engaged in the big tobacco business, so they will only attack us after they hear that there is a big cigarette in our cottage." The bearded man replied solemnly.

Li Xueying said "um" and said: "Now the world is very chaotic, there are a lot of smoke and soil on the road, and it is common for black to eat black, what you say is reasonable." ”

When the bearded man heard Li Xueying praise himself, his face was happy, and he continued: "In addition, we also found a small wooden box in the carriage, and coincidentally, after Mr. Yu saw the small wooden box, he insisted that the small wooden box was his. ”

"Oh?" Li Xueying showed a stunned expression on her face and asked, "Isn't that small wooden box also ......?"

"Yes, yes." The bearded man nodded again and again, not forgetting to pat his ass, and cocked his thumb and said, "The head of the house is like a god, and the small wooden box is also filled with big cigarettes, and Mr. Yu said that the big cigarette is the box he stole in the inn." He also scolded those people, saying that he didn't expect that he would be in the company of chickens and dogs, and his reputation would be ruined. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhiyuan secretly said in his heart that his reputation had long been so bad that it was worthless.

Li Xueying pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Yu said that the small wooden box is his, was it before or after the wooden box was opened?" ”

Li Xueying's question makes sense, if it is after the wooden box is opened, it means that Mr. Yu, that is, the head of the Qingxu Dao, may have coveted the box of big cigarettes, and lied and said that it was his own, if it was before the wooden box was opened, the wooden box might really be the head of the Qingxu Dao, because he didn't know what was inside the wooden box in advance.

The bearded man replied, "Before the wooden box was opened." It was precisely because of this that we believed that the big cigarette in the wooden box was indeed Mr. Yu's, so we returned it to him and asked him to take the big cigarette down the mountain and go back to Silkworm Mountain. ”

"Hmm." Li Xueying nodded slowly and continued to ask, "What about the gang of people you caught?" ”

The bearded man's face became a little ugly, and he replied hesitantly, "Those people...... It was supposed to be there, but ...... Afterward...... Later......"

"What happened next?" Li Xueying asked with a straight face.

"Then they all ran away." The bearded man held back for a long time, but plucked up the courage to reply.

"Ran away?" Li Xueying stood up suddenly, slapped the coffee table, and shook the teacup on the coffee table a few times, "The cell is not locked?" ”

"It's on." The bearded man hurriedly replied, "But I don't know how the people inside opened the lock, and when our men found it the next morning, the lock had fallen to the ground intact, and the cell was empty." ”

"What about the sentry?" Li Xueying asked.

"All four sentry posts were knocked unconscious." The bearded man replied helplessly.

Li Xueying's pretty eyebrows furrowed, sat down thoughtfully, and muttered, "It seems that I have met a master." ”

The bearded man nodded, noncommittal, and suddenly, he remembered something, and said, "Oh, by the way, those guys still left this in the cell." As he spoke, he had already taken out a note from his jacket pocket, unfolded it, and respectfully held it in front of Li Xueying, saying, "The head of the house." ”

Li Xueying took the note, carefully identified the handwriting on it, and read at the same time: "Tomorrow night, come and retrieve what belongs to me." After reading it, he put the note on the coffee table and frowned in thought.

Wu Zhiyuan glanced at the note on the coffee table a few times, and could only see that the words on it were written with a brush, the handwriting was crooked, and there was no skill at all, like the handwriting of a beginner.

Perhaps, the other party wrote like this in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent people from recognizing the handwriting in the future. Therefore, seeing such handwriting, Wu Zhiyuan did not take it to heart.

Seeing that Li Xueying was silent, the bearded man explained: "Those people only have three boxes of big cigarettes left in the cottage, and what he said on the note belongs to him should refer to these three boxes of big cigarettes." ”

Li Xueying did not react, but continued to be silent, the silence was actually thinking, and after a while, she suddenly looked at the bearded man and asked, "When did they escape?" ”

"Last night." The bearded man replied hurriedly.

"Last night...... The note said tomorrow night, which meant tonight. Li Xueying calculated.

"Yes, yes, tonight." The bearded man nodded repeatedly.

Moon Shadow Fuxian sat upright on the side, never spoke, at this time, she interjected: "Yingying, the other party can take seven or eight people out of the locked cell, and can also pass through the sentry outside, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary foot merchant or a bandit, he left a note, blatantly claiming that he is coming tonight, he should be completely sure, we can't be careless." ”

Li Xueying nodded slowly, grabbed the note on the coffee table, clenched it fiercely in the palm of her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "If he dares to come, I will let him come in vertically and go out horizontally!" ”

Although this sentence is short, it is very domineering, and there is a faint ruthlessness.

The bearded man asked tentatively, "Master, what should we do?" ”

Li Xueying glanced at him and ordered: "Tell all the brothers on and off the mountain to tighten their vigilance tonight, and if they encounter suspicious people of unknown origin, they are not allowed to let go!" ”

"Yes! I'll do it! The bearded man answered, turned and ran out of the hall.

As soon as she ran to the door of the hall, Li Xueying said loudly: "Wait! ”

The bearded man stopped, turned around and asked, "What else does the boss command?" ”

Li Xueying looked at Wu Zhiyuan, and turned to the bearded man and asked, "Are those three boxes of big cigarettes still there?" ”

"Yes, yes." The bearded man hurriedly replied, "I have ordered all the brothers to hide in the cellar to ensure that no one touches it." ”

"Well done." Li Xueying praised, then changed the conversation and said, "Find a few brothers to carry out all the three boxes of cigarettes, put them in the open space outside the hall, and burn them!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhiyuan and the bearded man were taken aback.
