Chapter 216: A Wise Debt Collector (2)

"That's a bull nature! How many shoulders can he have under his hands!"

"People don't rely on the deeds of Zanghu Mountain, according to my brother, the Hunter King really knows how to spell, comes and goes without a trace, can call the wind and rain, and is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, even if he is injured, he will heal within a moment! ”

"It is said that there was once a leader of a steppe tribe of several thousand people, who openly mocked the hunter kings of the past as unborn men who could not give birth to children, and a few months later someone passed by and found that there were vultures and wild wolves everywhere, and there was no one left alive......"

"Goodong", the beaten man covered his chest and swallowed and spit, and said stiffly: "Cousin, the Hunter King is strong enough, but that kid is not the Hunter King at all!"

"Don't you also know! The Hunter King and his five righteous sons have been in the mountains for so many days, but there has not been the slightest movement, it is almost certain that they have died, they can't be choked to death by drinking cold water!"

"Was it killed by a fox demon?" The beaten man was a little cramped, but he still said stiffly: "Even if there is really a powerful monster, but that kid is obviously a person, and there is no smell on his body, it shouldn't be a fox demon!"

"Isn't it a fox demon?" The middle-aged man shook his head, looked at the small temple lit by candlelight, and muttered as if dreamingly: "Do you know, the last person who asked me about the news of the Hunter King was our young master, it was morning, and he had just finished going to the county Cheng's mansion and called me over. ”

"When I finished talking about this, the young master sent me to deliver the letter after a while, probably too tired and anxious, the letter forgot to seal the fire paint, out of curiosity, I secretly opened it and looked at it, this letter was actually written to a fox demon! It introduced what happened in the capital, but the deeds of the hunter king were vague, and there was no mention of all the strange horrors I said. ”

"Thinking about it now, at that time, the young master should have thought that the fox demon would die, and he had already given up the transaction, and planned to sell some information casually, hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and make as many benefits as he could, and if he couldn't get it, he would just pay some news that would be announced immediately, and he would not lose at all. ”

"I delivered the letter to the town, but it was a child, naΓ―ve and ignorant, obviously not the right owner. I bought a few pieces of candy and bribed him to ask who the letter was for, but the boy hesitated to say that he was from this village, and refused to elaborate. This is the first piece of evidence. ”

He turned his head and looked at his cousin, "But do you know, there was a fire in the county government that night, and after that, the young master's attitude changed dramatically, and he was busy calculating Guo Sheng every day, combined with the content of the transaction mentioned in the letter, I have reason to believe that this fox demon has some connection with Guo Sheng, this is the second evidence." ”

Today, when Guo Sheng was in debt and desperate, he ran to the small village where he received the letter. Combined, do you think there are so many coincidences in this world?"

"Even if it's just a coincidence!" his face was a little vicissitudes, "You can also see the attitude of this person when he appeared, there is what an ordinary scholar should look like in the face of a debt of four thousand taels." Do you know what I felt when he smiled at us? It's as if we were standing under a tree, looking at a mosquito not far away, disgusted and dismissive, and if we dared to come over, we would slap it to death!"

A gust of cold wind blew, and the beaten man shivered, curled up a little, his voice also became quieter, and he said in a panic: "Cousin, since that kid is really a fox demon, let's go back quickly!

"Go back?" The middle-aged man refused: "From the moment the young master sent us to follow Guo Sheng to collect the accounts, I brought all the silver taels at home in advance, and I was ready, if there is really someone here, I will immediately flee to the north overnight, and I will never see the young master again in this life!"

Dahan didn't expect the result of fleeing at all, and his hands waved a little helplessly, "Cousin, it's not like that! This fox demon is so powerful, as long as we explain it to the young master, I believe the young master will understand us!"

"Hehe!" The middle-aged man shook his head, "Why are you still so naΓ―ve! Four thousand taels! Don't you know how big this number is! You and I are neither this fox demon, nor are we the hunter kings, nor even the big masters of Tibetan Tiger Mountain, why do you let the young master not care at all?"

"And, before I went out, I noticed that the maids who were waiting for the young lady were all in a hurry, and there were several more carriages at the back door. If I guessed correctly, I don't know where the confidence came from, the young master thinks that the two of us have a chance to get four thousand taels from the fox demon, knowing that we will offend the fox demon, and are preparing to run away with the silver to avoid the fox demon's next revenge. ”

"So cousin, if you are the young master, when you see us going back empty-handed, you find that you have offended the fox demon and have to flee, and you don't get the four thousand taels of silver you want, will you kill the two of us out of anger?"

The beaten man's face turned pale with fright, and his face twitched unnaturally, "Cousin, don't scare me, everyone in the rivers and lakes is the most moral! We have done things loyally for so many years, can't the young master preach morality, understand our suffering, and don't blame us." ”

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly, patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Cousin, you are really a good man who preaches morality! Brother has mistaken you! Okay, cousin doesn't stop you from assuming, I just hope that for the sake of our brother, when my brother is far away, I will decide whether to go in and ask for debts, or go back to find the young master who will be 'moral'!"

As he spoke, he stepped back, hugged his fists and said: "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, farewell today, I hope our brothers will meet again!"

After that, the middle-aged man walked briskly towards the outside of the village without looking back, as if he was being chased by a dog behind him, and disappeared into the evening mist after a while.

The beaten man looked at his cousin's back and hesitated for a moment, still reluctant to live a good life in the county with a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat.

He looked back at the small temple in a trance by candlelight, swallowed and spit, and tried to take two steps closer, but he thought in his heart that his cousin had always been smart, and he couldn't find fault with the reasoning and evidence, and he thought about it from another position, and felt that even if it was himself, he was enough to really talk about "morality".

When he was still hesitating, suddenly laughter came from around one after another, the big man was furious in his heart, swallowed and spat and listened carefully, this laughter seemed to be two, one old and one immature.

Trembling in cold sweat, he took out the horn knife from his bosom and snorted around. At this time, suddenly a V-shaped force mark flashed under the moon and was silently nailed to his feet.

The laughter around suddenly disappeared, and the sound of rustling in the grass not far away suddenly got closer and closer, and the demon beast that seemed to have a bloody mouth in the darkness gradually attacked, and the big man was so frightened that his crotch was wet, and he screamed, and chased in the direction where his cousin disappeared, and disappeared with a smoke.
