Chapter Twenty-Eight: The True and False Masks (II)

"Well, yes, just do what our brother said. First wronged our brother and Li Gongzi to stay in the dark room for a while, and wait for these officers and soldiers to search the mansion and retreat without finding anything. ”

Lei Hu urged on the side, his haggard expression had become a little urgent. He turned back to Lei Pearl and shouted, "Good daughter, now your eyebrows are burning, what are you doing here?" Hurry up and take your Uncle Dong and Li Gongzi to the secret room in our mansion to hide, and wait for the rumors in the mansion to subside, and then let them come out before it's too late. ”

Lei Pearl seemed to wake up immediately after being yelled at by Lei Hu, and she hurriedly said to Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng in panic, "Trouble the two of you to follow Pearl to the secret room quickly, don't stay here and wait for the officials and soldiers to arrest people before leaving." ”

Old Man Dong suddenly pushed Li Qiusheng and said, "Boy, don't you hurry up and keep up, do you still want to wait in this back hall for the officials and soldiers to come and kidnap you?" Or are you really capable, you don't want to hide, you want to see the majesty of the official army? ”

That knew that Li Qiusheng was like a fool who had fallen into the devil at this time, and he did not retreat but advanced and stood there fixedly. "Old man, didn't Master Lei appreciate your courage and domineering spirit back then? Why is it that now that the officials and troops have come to besiege the mansion, I don't see the domineering spirit you had back then. I'd love to see how powerful you are in the hidden world! Is it like those braggart bears in the book who will only fool people? ”

As soon as Lei Hu heard Li Qiusheng's words about the old man Dong, he immediately changed his face and said. "Li Gongzi, you are really a demon star in the world, the pot can't be opened. What time is it now, you're still competing with our brother. If it weren't for our brother's face, I, Lei Hu, wouldn't care about you, the son of a family. If you like to make trouble, you can make trouble, and if you love it, you can make it right. ”

Li Qiusheng was stunned by these three people, and his heart suddenly withered, and he muttered, "Hey, I won't say it, can't I go to the secret room with you?" Why sulk so much, it's uncomfortable. ”

Lei Pearl suddenly laughed and said, "Li Gongzi, that's right, let's go quickly." If it is too late, the officers and soldiers will break in, and then I am afraid that no one will be able to get out. ”

Li Qiusheng lowered his head in shame, and followed behind Lei Pearl with a depressed face.

Old Man Dong pushed behind his back again, "Boy, let's go." Don't dream, you want to compete with the official army, and then go to Zhou Gong. Now we have to hide, hide. ”

Here, Lei Pearl took Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng as soon as they left, and Sun Congde, who was in the surrounding mansion over there, rushed in with a few officers and soldiers. At a glance, I saw Lei Hu drinking tea leisurely in the back hall, feeding the thrush in the bamboo cage freely, and he seemed very comfortable.

Sun Cong squeezed out a sneer and said sarcastically. "Master Lei is really comfortable and leisurely, someone Sun came uninvited, and I hope Master Lei will forgive me."

Lei Hu seemed to have expected Sun Congde's move a long time ago, and turned around and accosted unhurriedly. "General Sun must have been on business if he came uninvited, otherwise he would have looked down on Lei's broken kiln with General Sun's distinguished status. Besides, it is still such a cold month. Lei was reluctant to ask, so he asked General Sun to explain his intention directly, so that Lei could be prepared, otherwise if General Sun asked Lei about something important, if Lei couldn't answer, wouldn't it be a good idea for General Sun. ”

"Oh, what Master Lei said is that Sun is not considerate. In this way, I hope that Master Lei will not be surprised, Sun Mou was born in the army, and the etiquette in this world is to make me taboo. However, judging from Master Lei's personality, he is not to blame Sun for these rude behaviors. Sun Congde pretended to be surprised and said, and at the end he pretended to bow to Master Lei.

Lei Hu smiled indifferently as if he was used to seeing characters in officialdom. "What General Sun said is, how dare Lei compete with General Sun. Moreover, the last time General Sun visited Lei late at night, he was still able to entertain him, not to mention that this time General Sun came with a military order, and Lei would not dare to stop him even if he had a hundred courages. Let's ask General Sun to explain his intentions, and Lei can also make a reply to General Sun. ”

"Hey, it's still Master Lei who is the most polite and polite, since that's the case, Sun is reluctant to say it. Master Lei, I heard that before last month, when I was defending the city that day, when Master Lei braved the snow to enter the city, you brought a Qin prisoner who Chaoyan wanted to arrest---- Li Qiusheng, I don't know if Master Lei still remembers such a thing. Sun Congde pretended to be surprised and said with a vague memory, and did not forget to peek at Master Lei a few times, and secretly observed in his heart what had changed in Master Lei.

Lei Hu is a character who is mixed up on the knives in the rivers and lakes, and he will not be able to see Sun Congde's trick in his heart and pretend to be confused.

He smiled deliberately, cleared his throat and said slowly. "General Sun, I don't understand who you mean when you say that Li Qiusheng is the prisoner of Chaoyanqin. If General Sun thinks that my Lei Hu Mansion is hiding Li Qiusheng, a Qin criminal, then General Lao Sun will lead people to search every place in the mansion, lest General Sun will not be able to pay the difference when he returns, and Lei will not be able to clear his name of harboring Chao Yanqin's crimes. More than a dozen lives up and down the Lei Mansion are in the hands of General Sun, and they can't get rid of this charge of resisting Chaoyan there, let alone this hateful relationship. “

"Master Lei said that it was serious, and Sun Someone just acted according to his orders, where Master Lei said so viciously. Besides, our people still owe Master Lei a meal, so it is so important to be able to do it. Master Lei, don't worry, my grandson is just a routine, and he will never bring any disasters to Master Lei's mansion. Sun Congde's eyes flashed, and he deliberately reserved for a moment and said slowly. The thief's eyes never stopped for a moment to examine their surroundings.

"That's good, General Sun, you can lead people to search the Lei Mansion, don't leave any dead ends. Otherwise, leave the handle and let those people with many mouths chew their tongues, and my Lei Mansion will not be able to wash this relationship even if I jump into the Yellow River. When Lei Hu saw Sun Congde say this, he immediately pushed the boat along the river and followed his words, giving Sun Congde no chance to scratch his tongue and chew the roots.

Sun Congde saw that Lei Hu choked on his words, and there was no room for maneuver. He hesitated, wanting to say something more. Suddenly, he shouted and ordered, "Captain Wang, you lead the team to search every place up and down the Lei Mansion, and you must not let anyone go." A place. When you see a teenager similar to this picture, you should immediately catch and see each other, and you must not slack off. ”

A lieutenant stood out from the queue of officers and soldiers on the side to receive the order: "Obey the order, and the small one will do it." Please wait a moment, the little one will reply to you right away. ”

Lei Hu was also secretly shocked when he saw that Sun Congde suddenly made such a real move. But after all, he is a long-time figure, although it is now self-defeating, he still did not expect Sun Congde to suddenly come to this hand.

Therefore, Lei Hu simply drank his tea slowly like an idler wild crane who stayed out of the matter, holding the tea in his hand. Ren Er's group of uninvited guests tossed around by themselves and made trouble by themselves.

"Report to the general, his subordinates led people to check every place and corner of the Lei Mansion, and also checked all the personnel up and down the Lei Mansion, and found no Qin criminals similar to the pictures in the paintings, nor did they find anything suspicious in the Lei Mansion. Subordinates, please ask the general to decide, what we should do next. ”

After a long while, Captain Wang, who had led the order, stepped into the hall at the right time and reported directly to Sun Congde.

Sun Congde frowned when he heard this, looked at the half-kneeling Captain Wang and pouted and said, "Got it, you lead the team to withdraw from the Lei Mansion first, I still have something to discuss with Master Lei here before leaving." ”

"Obey," Captain Wang replied again, and then took the order.

Sun Congde saw that Captain Wang was far away, and then turned his head to look at Lei Hu, who was still drinking tea unhurriedly. Immediately said politely and vaguely, "Master Lei, I don't know if it was the decay of the person who chewed the root of his tongue who went to the mansion to complain, and even caused our brothers to come to the mansion to disturb him, I'm really embarrassed, and I ask Master Lei to bear with me." ”

"Oh, General Sun will explain more outside in the future, so as not to deign the reputation of the Lei Mansion is really embarrassing, and the old man's heart is really tight." Lei Hu said in a similar manner, and his voice was lowered several times.

"This is easy to say, after General Ben goes out, he must explain it clearly to his neighbors, and he will never let Lei Fu be humiliated by General Ben. Master Lei, don't worry. Sun Congde said with a clear tone of euphemism at this time, and his tone was no longer as slippery as the old treacherous before.

Lei Hu is a person from the past, of course, he understands the truth. He smiled at him and pushed the boat downstream. "The old man has thanked General Sun for his kindness in advance, and if there is a place for the old man in the future, General Sun can just open his mouth, and the old man will not obey."

"Yes, Sun remembered Master Lei's words. In the future, I will definitely be able to use Master Lei, and then it will depend on Master Lei's pretentiousness and methods. Sun Congde said with retreat, and sketched another picture in his mind.

"Well, for example, the Qin criminal in front of me who Chaoyan wants to arrest--- Li Qiusheng. If you catch it, you will not only have a reward of a thousand gold, but you can also add officials to the knighthood, and bless the descendants of you. I don't know if Master Lei is interested in this? If there is Sun Mou, who is willing to be a person who threads the needle, everything depends on the performance of Master Lei. ”

Sun Congde said with no concealment and unscrupulousness, his thief-eyed eyes seemed to have penetrated Lei Hu's innermost thoughts. He threw out the bait and waited for the big fish in front of him to take the bait.

Lei Hu smiled and thought about it for a long time before pretending to be useless. General Sun said with a smile, Lei has this blessing to capture this Chao Yanqin prisoner. That's all about General Sun and Chaoyan, Lei is too old and weak to respond to the request. ”

"Hey, since Master Lei didn't want to ask for it, then Sun Mou will leave. The disturbance is terrifying, and I ask Master Lei to be magnanimous. Sun Congde said immediately, because at the moment when he was about to turn around and leave, he had already found the true answer in Lei Hu's heart from a trace of the vulture radiating from Lei Hu's eyes. For the sake of fame and profit, and for the benefit of future generations, Lei Hu can do those things that very people can do.

Sun Congde knew very well that the big fish in front of him was already a little moved, but he still had some lingering concerns.

What is Lei Hu hesitating, and he has no way to solve it.
