As soon as he heard that the lord of Dazhai had sent someone, the thief surnamed Xing hurriedly got up to open the door, and when he opened the door, he was a young man with a sword on his back and wearing a night suit, with slightly dark skin, but his facial features were upright, but he was not a beautiful man.

The thief surnamed Xing asked, "Who are you?

Xiao Hai was not polite to them, entered the house by himself, and then closed the door by himself. The other four people in the room were stunned, what are you going to do? The surnamed Xing was the first to react, and quickly jumped to the table, pulled out a single knife, and several people also hurriedly showed their guys.

The surname Xing shouted: "Ah, who thief dares to create our Qingyun Village, do you know that you are self... Before he finished talking about his own death, Xiao Hai's body shook and jumped in front of five people, and in an instant, several people were knocked down with a few punches, and they were all knocked out.

Xiao Hai laughed and said, "Your reaction speed is also touching." Xiao Hai found some hemp rope in the house, tied up the five people and threw them to the ground, Xiao Hai splashed tea on the face surnamed Xing, and then looked at the man surnamed Xing woke up with a chirp in his mouth: "Ouch, ouch" opened his eyes and saw that Xiao Hai was looking at himself happily, he was frightened and hurriedly retreated, but found that he was tied up all over his body, and could only squirm back, he just wanted to scream.

Xiao Hai said, "If you tell me, I'll kill you!" and pulled out the twin swords.

The surnamed Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped talking. Xiaohai said: "That's right. I ask you to answer, I will not kill you. ”

The surnamed Xing snorted coldly and said: "No matter where you are, the thief dares to break into Qingyun Village privately, since you are caught and killed, I will not disclose any information about Qingyun Village to you!"

Xiao Hai was quite ambitious when he heard it, Xiao Hai's sword slashed at the corner of the table, and the two-inch thick wooden board instantly fell off the corner, and then looked at the thief surnamed Xing, the thief glanced at Xiao Hai and snorted coldly: "Ask!"

Xiao Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Good look, very dignified! I admire you, you want you to answer my questions truthfully, I will spare you from death! Let me ask you, where is the residence of the owner of Qingyun Village!"

The surnamed Xing said: "I won't tell you, but you can go out and walk along the road to the end, then turn left and see a relatively large courtyard, decorated more luxuriously, someone over there knows!"

Xiao Haile said hehehe: "Is there someone guarding that yard?"

"Of course, the cottage is so big and there is a lot of business, we must invite some martial arts masters to take charge. ”

This Shan Xiaohai does not deny that those cottages did have some good hands last night.

Xiao Hai asked again: "The one who went to Wuyou Town to rob the prison last night was the people from your cottage?!"

"No comment!" Xiao Hai thought to himself, it seemed that he really didn't know, he had just heard them talking outside.

Xiao Hai continued to ask, "Did you guys catch someone else last night?!"

"No comment!" Xiao Hai said angrily: "I can't bear it, Lao Tzu won't fix you, you don't know what is called the care of a peerless master!"

The surnamed Xing hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, don't fight, I really don't know!" Xiao Hai is just scaring and scaring him, Xiao Haile said: "If you catch a thief, where will you be locked up?"

"I've been in the cottage for more than five years, and I've never seen anyone arrested, but if any of my brothers made a mistake, they would be locked up in a makeshift cell on the west side of the council chamber, but there was no one there there and we came back from there. ”

Xiao Hai thought to himself, is this difficult to do? Is it in the courtyard of the village owners?

Xiao Hai asked again: "Is this the way you can go up the mountain?"

The surname Xing said: "There is only one way up the mountain, but if you go down the mountain, there is a rope ladder on the side of the cliff on the back mountain. ”

Xiao Hai nodded, probably guessing where it was, he circled around the cottage before dark, and found that there was a cliff that was relatively low, and the mountain had traces of rubbing. Xiaohai asked the situation of the four village owners again, whether they would be martial arts, Xiaohai then learned that the original four generations of residents have lived here, in order to avoid disasters during the war, the family moved here, and now the Liu family is in the cottage There are more than 100 of them, and this time the family is Liu Qinghong, Liu Qinghe, Liu Qingrong, Liu Qingzhou. Liu Qinghong is kind-hearted, reasonable, and very good to the brothers in the cottage, and everyone also admires him.

When Liu Qinghe was young, he followed a Taoist priest in Wuyi Mountain to learn art, a martial arts, and occasionally taught the bandits of Qingyunzhai some kung fu, responsible for all the defense work of Qingyunzhai, and Liu Qingrong is their sister, nearly thirty years old, her husband died of illness a few years ago, this woman is beautiful, and smart, the management of the cottage, business, etc. are actually taken care of by her.

And Liu Qingzhou seems to be a gentleman, but in fact, he has contacts with the external relationships of Qingyunzhai, including Liu Yanzhang, a distant relative, who basically comes to move around by Liu Qingzhou. There are four brothers and sisters, only Liu Qinghong has a daughter under his knees, and the others have no heirs, Liu Qinghe has not even married a wife, Liu Qingzhou has a few wives and concubines, but they are all in-depth and simple, they all look sick, and even one has died in the past two years, and the people in the village think that it is Liu Qingzhou's wife, of course Xiaohai knows what is going on, and it is not easy to tell these cottage people, after all, there is no big traitor except Liu Qingzhou.

But Xiaohai also understood that the Liu brothers and sisters were willing to rob the prison in order to save their younger brother, and the childless naturally favored the youngest brother. Even so, the law is unreasonable. Xiao Hai felt sorry for this village in his heart. But he shouldn't be allowed to think about it, so let's save people first.

This surname Xing's name is Xing Yuanzhi, is a person from a town under the mountain, he learned a little boxing and kicking when he was a teenager, he doesn't do things on weekdays and collects protection money on the street, and he received the business of Qingyun Village Liu Zhai not only embarrassed him, but also gave him an errand to guard the village in Qingyun Village, good food and drink and abundant income, and the kid lived a beautiful life.

Xing Yuanzhi saw that Xiao Hai was about to knock himself unconscious, and hurriedly said: "Shaoxia, the villain has something to ask for, and I hope Shaoxia will agree!"

Xiao Hai nodded. Xing Yuanzhi said: "Shaoxia, I have been in Qingyun Village for more than five years, except for the four village owners who run out all year round and rarely return to the cottage, the other three village owners are by no means big traitors, Qingyun Village is rarely a big bully when doing business outside, you can go to the mountain to ask." I know that you must have been sent by the government, and I only implore you, if you can, I hope you can give Qingyunzhai a way out. The little one kowtowed to you here, thank you!"

Although Xing Yuanzhi was tied all around, he still knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai quickly helped him up and said, "Brother Xing, why are you doing this, all this is not up to me." I'll tell you the truth, Liu Qingzhou tried to kidnap the girl in Wuyou Town, and killed the officers and soldiers by mistake, Lord Zhou was only sentenced to fifteen years in prison, someone robbed the prison last night, if it is really the attention of the owner of Qingyun Village, then this is a capital crime!"

Xing Yuanzhi said with a slight cry: " This young man, my four brothers and I were originally ruffians and hooligans in the town, and everyone shouted and beat them in our town, but Qingyunzhai not only did not dislike it, but also gave us money, let us raise our heads in front of the villagers, I know that we are weak, but we have to repay this kindness, I know that I can't stop anything, and I don't dare to expect that the hero will be able to do it, I just hope that if you can, please give some hope to the two thousand brothers in Qingyun Village, as well as these innocent people in Qingyun Village!"

Xiao Hai was full of emotion in his heart, and said: "Brother Xing, okay, I promise you, I will not kill innocents here, I am here to save people, I will leave after saving people, and then I will explain the situation here to the government, and we will deal with it as appropriate." But it is also necessary for the other three village owners not to take drastic actions. ”

Xing Yuanzhi said with tears in his eyes: "When the young man said this, the little one was already very grateful, and he didn't dare to ask for more. ”

Xiao Hai said: "Brother Xing, it's not too early now, I need to save people, I need to knock you out, and the province will bring you trouble again, so I have to wronged you." ”

Xing Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Yes, please do it, the owners of the village all live in that big courtyard, and now they are all in the meeting hall." ”

Xiao Hai said yes, and then punched him in the neck, and Xing Yuanzhi fainted.

If it is really as Xing Yuanzhi said, the owners of the village are well aware of the righteousness, should they just say it? But if they really understand the righteousness, why bother tying Zhou Shichen again, and then strengthen the defense and prepare to fight against the government? Xiaohai quickened his pace, and after a while, he came to the courtyard that Xing Yuanzhi said, the courtyard was really large, composed of several small courtyards, and the lights were bright inside, Xiao Hai took advantage of the alternation of patrols outside the wall to a darker courtyard and flew up to the wall. There is only one row of rooms in this courtyard, all of which are lit. Although this courtyard is unguarded, there are people walking around from time to time, all of them are minions, it seems that it should be the class room of the next person, Xiaohai jumped off the wall while people were not paying attention, and then hid in the dark place in the corner.

Xiao Hai, who was wearing a night suit, couldn't see it at all if people didn't look carefully. Xiao Hai secretly came to the side wall of the house, flew into the room, slowly removed the tiles on the roof, and looked at the situation in the house, sure enough, it was the people's class room, some rooms were empty, some rooms were resting, and there were no other abnormalities and Zhou Shichen was not found. Xiao Hai quietly got off the roof, and then avoided people to check several other courtyards, but fortunately, there were some servants in the entire courtyard, and there were not too many thieves from the owner of the village to guard them.

When Xiao Hai checked the courtyard, he found that there were several sick women in the courtyard, dressed gorgeously, looking not very old, but sickly, Xiao Hai knew that this might be Liu Qingzhou's wives and concubines. The garden is surprisingly large, no smaller than Ji Chang's garden. After Xiao Hai searched for ten courtyards, he came to a courtyard guarded by several subordinates, Xiao Hai was stunned, there are not so many people guarding other courtyards, it seems that this courtyard is more special.

Xiao Hai turned to a no-man's land, flew up the wall, and found that this courtyard was not particularly large, there was only one main house and two wings in the east and west, the courtyard was very quiet, and the main house was still lit. Xiao Hai flew a few times, came directly to the roof of the main house, and after removing a tile, he saw that the room was very simple, but it was still here and had the temperament of a literati. All kinds of calligraphy and paintings filled the room. In the middle of the room, there is a table of eight immortals with pear blossom wood, all kinds of food and wine on the table, and there is a young man next to the table, and he doesn't eat there, just in a daze. Xiao Hai took a look, isn't this exactly Young Master Zhou? Okay, I thought I had been kidnapped, and my feelings were invited?

Xiao Hai threw a small stone at Zhou Shichen's feet, Zhou Shichen was startled, and then looked up and saw Xiao Hai leaking out half of his head, and beckoned to him with a smile. Young Master Zhou saw that Xiao Hai's face was suddenly full of smiles, and just as he was about to get up, Xiao Hai made a silent gesture, and then Xiao Hai unloaded a few more tiles, and then followed the beam to the room.

Zhou Shichen hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Why are you here? How is my father?

Xiao Hai looked at Zhou Shichen and was fine, except for looking a little tired, there was nothing abnormal, but the smile on his face that couldn't be concealed made it difficult for Xiao Hai to adapt, these two have never had such a good face since they were children.

Zhou Shichen found that Xiao Hai was fluted again, and then seemed to realize it, and quickly tightened his face, but he still looked a lot better.

Xiaohai said: "It's okay, your family is safe." You may not want to believe it, but I'm here to save you, accidentally. ”

Zhou Shichen sneered and said, "Don't be weird there, I know you're here to save me, isn't Xiaoxiao begging you again?"

Xiao Hai said angrily: "When do you still care about this, I'll take you out of here!"

Zhou Shichen hurriedly grabbed Xiao Hai and said, "No, the master of the big village said that he would wait for his news!" Xiao Hai stood and looked at Zhou Shichen and asked in surprise: "Aren't you kidnapped?"

Zhou Shichen smiled bitterly: "In fact, it was indeed kidnapped, but it was not the attention of the village owners, I was worried about my father's safety last night, and secretly ran to the county government to support my father despite the opposition of my grandmother and Xiaoxiao, but I was arrested by several black-clothed thieves before I arrived." ”

Xiao Hai wanted to laugh but felt impolite and said, "Haven't you practiced!"

Zhou Shichen slapped the table and said, "Damn, it must be that Wei Zheng who taught me first, otherwise I can't even beat a few minions." That night, the men in black looked at me like a boy, and they didn't dare to kill me, so they brought me back directly. After coming back, the three village owners were still very surprised, delicious food and drink for me, they locked me here, I went to business or something, and I haven't come back yet, this house and the second village owner is Liu Qinghe's. ”

Xiao Hai took a look, but he didn't expect that although Liu Qinghe practiced martial arts, he couldn't see where he lived at all.

Xiao Hai said: "Since I am here, I will definitely take you away, but if they find me, they will definitely not spare me!" As soon as Xiao Hai's voice fell, he heard the sound of the door opening from afar.

Someone said, "Friends in the house, don't leave in a hurry since you're here!" Xiao Hai was stunned! He was a master, and he could hear us talking in the house from so far away. In an instant, the door of the front room opened, and a group of people entered, led by a person who was six feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, a tight suit, and a wide belt around his waist, and he looked like a martial arts practitioner. There are more than a dozen minions behind him. The oncoming person was stunned when he saw Xiao Hai, although Xiao Hai was wearing a night suit, he couldn't cover his face, after all, it was dark, and it was completely unnecessary to act in the dark.

Xiao Hai first stepped forward and hugged his fist and said, "Presumably this is Liu Qinghe's second master, right?"

Liu Qinghe smiled and said, "Who is here?"

Xiao Hai said: "It's true, it's true, I came here to save him, you Qingyunzhai broke into the county government prison and robbed the prison, and kidnapped the son of the court official, don't you know if this is a capital crime?!"

Liu Qinghe sneered and said: "What about robbing prisons? What about capital crimes? My younger brother was framed and imprisoned, how can I sit idly by as an elder brother!"

Xiao Hai replied with a sneer: "Framed?!He seduced a woman from a good family and tried to misbehave, how did he come from to frame him?!"

Liu Qinghe scolded: "You fart! How could my brother go to other people's places to do such dangerous things for no reason!

Xiao Hai sneered: "What if he is practicing and urgently needs a woman to collect yin and supplement yang?" Liu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, hesitated, Xiao Hai thought to himself, this Liu Qinghe seems to be fierce, but he is not the kind of character who does not hesitate.

Liu Qinghe said: "You are Yan Xiaohai, you just injured my brother?"

Xiao Hai smiled: "No, it's officially down." ”

Liu Qinghe said, "Even if you say so, then my brother's kung fu should be considered useless, and his current body and bones will definitely not survive a year in prison, so he must be saved!" At this time, a group of people came outside the hospital, a middle-aged man, with a beautiful woman with a large and luxurious appearance, and the middle-aged Xiaohai knew him, officially Liu Qinghong.

Liu Qinghong smiled when he saw Xiao Hai, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Yan, I didn't expect you to be so bold to break into our cottage." ”

Xiao Hai smiled: "Master Liu Zhai, we meet again, let's open the skylight and say bright words, I came to take Zhou Shichen away." What do you have to say?"

When Liu Qinghe heard this, he shouted: "Well, what are you, it's up to you! Don't talk about Zhou Shichen, it's hard for you to fly today!" Xiao Hai thought to himself, isn't it, he is just scaring them, there are more than 2,000 people in the village, and more than 1,000 people can be beaten alone, unless he can fly, otherwise this big word can only be realized in a dream.

Xiao Hai didn't panic and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about the severity of this matter?!"

Liu Qinghong smiled helplessly and said: "Things have happened, what can I do, one is my own brother, the other is a cottage, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat!"

Liu Qinghe said: "Big brother, what's the use of saying that? The prison robbery was arranged by me and I was responsible for it alone. ”

Later, Liu Qingrong said: "Second brother, what are you talking about, we and the eldest brother don't want to blame you, they are all our own family, how can we have two hearts." ”

Xiao Hai said with a smile: "What a brother and sister are of the same heart! Second village master, have you ever thought about the consequences of robbing the prison?"

"Hmph, it's just that the fish are dead and the net is broken, the government wants to go to our Qingyun Village, it depends on whether they have the ability. The children of the rivers and lakes live the business of licking blood at the tip of a knife, what are you afraid of!"

Xiao Hai sighed and said: "Master Liu, are you not afraid, have you ever thought about the foundation of your Liu family? Have you ever thought about the brothers of more than 2,000 people on this mountain? They still have a family to carry their mouths? It is impossible for you to die in vain! The people of the rivers and lakes are proud of chivalry, and you can do this with a little chivalrous heart? Is your teacher teaching you like this?"

Liu Qinghe was furious: "Yan Xiaohai, you big fart kid doesn't need you to teach Lao Tzu anything chivalrous! Don't you have the ability, come and see what you have to catch my fourth brother!"

Liu Qinghong hurriedly grabbed Liu Qinghe next to him and said: "Second brother, don't be reckless, Brother Xiaohai, we don't care about the safety of Qingyunzhai, but the matter has happened, and there is no turning back." Unless, unless Young Master Zhou is willing to exchange himself for my fourth brother, after the matter is completed, I swear to the sky that our Qingyun Village and Wuyou Town Well Water will not violate the river water!

Xiaohai looked at Zhou Shichen, although Zhou Shichen was a little scared, after all, he was now a hostage, he said: "Everyone, I'm afraid this is not a good idea, if it is someone else, my father may really be able to agree, but it is my words, hehe is not afraid of your jokes, although my father cares about me, but my weight in his heart is far less important than the court law." ”

The Liu brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment and then looked at Yan Xiaohai, Xiaohai hurriedly said: "I'm useless, the county master is my father-in-law, and we are the same father now." ”

Everyone grew up and didn't believe it, especially Zhou Shichen, he also thought to himself that you Yan Xiaohai was so timid, and they all began to believe him, how could my father fall in love with him!

Xiao Hai saw Zhou Shichen's surprise and whispered: "I didn't lie to you, it was yesterday, and you will call me brother in the future." ”

Zhou Shichen scolded: "Get out, I'm older than you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly said something wrong, and when he turned it over, he thought that it might be my father's excuse to let Xiaohai save me, but this is not my father's character, the fake must be fake.

Liu Qingrong opened his mouth and said: "Yan Gongzi is really good at laughing, in order not to let himself stay, he actually made this kind of joke, he was a little heroic just now, but now it is gone." ”

Xiao Hai smiled bitterly: "You see, the truth is that it is difficult to be accepted. I'll ask you, do you still want to live!"

Liu Qingrong said: "How do you say this?"

Xiao Hai said: "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter which of us stays here, it is impossible for my father-in-law Zhou to exchange hostages, after all, you have violated the laws of the court by robbing the prison, this is not what my father-in-law said, you can understand this." ”

Everyone nodded, and Xiao Hai continued: "The master of the second village has the confidence to hold Qingyun Village, how long can you defend it, one year, two years? Qingyun Village is sitting on a natural risk, but how can this 'danger' not be double-sided? Put a fire at the bottom of the mountain, how long can you hold on? How long can the water on your mountain last? Lord Zhou can't do such a thing to kill everything, but what about the imperial court? To tell you the truth, Lord Zhou has already applied for an urgent attack on Qingyun Village for 800 miles, I will go back alive, and I will definitely tell the truth, you not only robbed the prison but also kidnapped Young Master Zhou, I will not go back before dawn tomorrow, then I am already in distress, and I still have to attack the mountain. You're dead. Second village master, you said that it is a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, big brother, think about it, even if you brothers are of the same heart, but what about the others? Why do they follow you to death? You don't have the slightest chivalrous benevolence, are you practicing martial arts just to bully people?"

Liu Qinghe panted and said: "I, Liu, have never bullied people in my life. ”

Xiaohai said: "Yes, you don't bully people, but you have to take many people from before to die in vain, the people who were arrested for robbing the prison last night committed suicide, did you instigate it?!"

The Liu brothers and sisters were taken aback when they heard this, and Liu Qinghe hurriedly said: "I didn't, how could I let them commit suicide!"

Xiao Hai understood, they should all be people like Xing Zhiyuan.

Liu Qinghong sighed in the sky: "Ancestor of the Liu family, Qinghong has no shame to face you! Little brother Yan, the matter has happened, and we really have no way to turn back, but I will disperse those brothers who are unwilling to die with us as soon as possible, and I hope that the government will let them live if they see it! In addition, if it can, Liu is willing to use his life to save Qingyun Village!"

Liu Qinghe said: "Big brother, no, if you take it alone because of this matter, I will never live alone!" Liu Qingrong also held Liu Qinghong's hand with a resolute face.

Xiao Hai thought that he could only gamble, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, things may have a turnaround." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Xiaohai said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Yan Xiaohai, am willing to go back and persuade Lord Zhou not to attack Qingyun Village, but I want a few village owners to beat me a few things." ”

Liu Qinghong said: "Brother Xiaohai, please speak." ”

Xiao Hai said: "First, assist the officers and soldiers of Wuyou Town to clean up the surrounding bandits, as a remedy. ”

Everyone said: "What's so difficult about this, we have many brothers in the mountains, all of them are from the nearby mountains, and it is much better to clean up the bandits than the officers and soldiers." ”

Xiao Hai continued: "Second, in the future, I will obey Lord Zhou, and in the future, Lord Zhou will ask for something with you, and you will definitely help!"

Liu Qingrong said: "Lord Zhou is the Imperial Palace, how can he ask us for help?"

Xiao Hai said: "There is still one in thousands of miles, rest assured that Lord Zhou will never let you do anything hurtful, and he will definitely not look for you if there is no need." ”

Zhou Shichen said beside him: "That's necessary, my father loves the people like a son, and anyone can be his son!" Everyone had a dark face, and they all knew that they were scolding Xiaohai.

Xiao Hai ignored him and continued: "Third, give up saving Liu Qingzhou for the time being, but don't worry, your giving up doesn't mean that adults won't have other compassion, do you know why you didn't find Liu Qingzhou last night?"

Liu Qinghe said: "Where are you hiding?"

Zhou Shichen said: "At my house, my father asked the doctor to treat him, and he just said that he didn't carry it back to the prison when there was movement at night, which is also an empty plan." The Liu brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Hai continued: "I believe that if Lord Liu Dazhai is willing to talk to Lord Zhou in detail in the future, Lord Zhou will definitely be more tolerant. ”

Liu Qingrong said: "Young Master Yan, why do we believe that you can convince Lord Zhou?"

Xiao Hai looked at Zhou Shichen: "Because I saved him last night, I also saved his daughter, and I also saved many of their officers and soldiers." Zhou Shichen was relieved, it turned out that his father accepted him as a righteous son in order to repay his kindness.

The Liu brothers bit their ears, and finally Liu Qinghong said: "Brother Yan, I can agree to the conditions you say, but there is one condition. ”

"Lord Dazhai, please speak. ”

"Let go of my younger brother Liu Qingzhou, he is now a wasted person, I just want him to live a few more years without suffering, and as for the officers and soldiers he injured and killed, I will double the compensation. As long as Lord Zhou agrees to this request, Lord Zhou will ask for it in the future, and Qingyunzhai will obey Lord Zhou's dispatch in the future. ”

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "I really need to go back and tell Master Zhou about this, I can't be the master of this." Then I will take Young Master Zhou and leave quickly, and I will rush back before dawn. ”

Liu Qinghe stopped and said, "Wait, you can go, but Young Master Zhou can't go." ”

"Second brother!"

"Big brother, if they both leave and the officers and soldiers come again, we really have nothing to rely on!"

Xiao Hai smiled: "The second village master doesn't believe me?"

Liu Qinghe said with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I have to keep a hand in everything." ”

Xiaohai said: "Erzhai master, otherwise we will gamble, you win me, I will go, things are not done properly, I will come to see you." If I win, I'll take Zhou Shichen away. Things are all done. Young Master Zhou is your greatest sincerity at the moment, please think about it. ”

Liu Qinghe laughed and said: "Young man, do you think that if you can defeat my fourth brother, you can promise me? What if I promise you, we will come tonight to meet how capable you are!"
