Chapter 31: The Playful Owner

In the Liangshanbo cottage hall, Zhang Fan and the other five people didn't expect that the big boss would change from cynicism to fierce expression in the blink of an eye, and they all secretly thought about the reason behind this incident in their hearts.

Suddenly, Gao Zhuang spoke first and said: "Brother Zhang, three Jin brothers, don't blame the big boss, in fact, since the old village owner died last year, the hall masters under the old village master secretly said that the big boss was just a little girl and looked down on the big boss. Intimidated by the remnants of the old village owner, they obey the big boss on the surface, but in private they are not at all. Some hall owners even secretly co-opted the brothers in the cottage to form their own team. Feng Tianxiao, the master of the criminal law hall, was originally a servant of the old village master, and the old village master saw that he had worked hard and made great achievements, so he promoted him to be the master of the criminal law hall. After the death of the old village owner, he still helped the small village owner from time to time, that is, our big boss, one of the few cronies of the big boss, but unfortunately the day before yesterday he went out with the big boss to run errands and died. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought for a while and asked, "Brother Gao, I killed you Liangshanbo Criminal Law Hall Master and offended your big boss, aren't you angry?"

Gao Zhuang smiled and replied: "Hehe, the big boss is fine, why should I be angry? Besides, I don't like the master of the criminal law hall, after the death of the old village owner, he relied on his own identity, acted as a prestige, looked down on our brothers, and even kidnapped the women of the good family from outside, damaging the reputation of our cottage, which violated the original intention of the old village owner to create a cottage. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, although he believed that some of what Gao Zhuang said might be true, he still couldn't accept his far-fetched reason, and asked again: "Brother Gao, don't play dumb riddles with Brother Wei, tell me the real reason for this matter? ”

Gao Zhuang smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Zhang, I can't say it, otherwise the big boss will blame me." ”

Zhang Fan looked at the thin young man in front of him who looked a little honest, and thought: "Although there are hundreds of thieves in this Liangshanbo, there are really many grievances between them. Originally, when I killed the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall, they should have resented me, but how did they know that these thieves were indifferent to this matter, could it be that the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall was so hated by others? Perhaps the thieves were originally engaged in robbery and murder, and most of them were people with poor nature, and they were extremely vicious and vicious, and they had already taken life and death lightly. Yes, no matter where I am, I have to speak from strength. That girl's cultivation is in the middle stage of refining veins like me, and I think she saw me kill the blue-robed bandit the day before yesterday, and she has no intention of fighting with me. This thin young man is tall and strong, and he has cultivated in the Essence Refining Realm, and seeing that my cultivation is high, he wants to win me over to join their cottage so that he can serve the big boss, which is really interesting. Then he laughed loudly: "Brother Gao, don't worry. I looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Liangshan, but it was a good place to live. Although I'm here to find my sister this time, it doesn't prevent me from joining the cottage and sharing life and death with everyone, haha. ”

"Childe, is it really?" As soon as Zhang Fan's words fell, a female voice suddenly came from the back of the hall. Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then looked up at the door of the back room where the girl left just now, only to see Xue'er looking at him with a smile, her little face was covered with a happy flush, and the corners of her mouth were still left with the crumbs left over from eating pastries. He couldn't believe his eyes, in his mind, Xue'er should cry when she saw her, complaining heartily, and talking about the pain of endless longing, but at this time Xue'er didn't cry, let alone say anything lovesick. Zhang Fan thought for a while before he asked suspiciously, "Xue'er, weren't you locked up in some backmountain purgatory by that female thief?"

Xue'er smiled skillfully, and covered her lips slightly with her jade hand, not wanting her son-in-law to see the embarrassment of seeing her eating. After a while, she replied in a coquettish voice: "Childe, what kind of purgatory? That's all Sister Shuang's trick to play with you, hehe." I was brought to the cottage by my sister the day before yesterday, and I was very worried about the comfort of my son, but my sister said that you rode the black wind around Liangshan all day long, but you didn't find a way to Liangshanbo, so I wanted to see when you would find here. We didn't expect you to find this place today, hehe. ”

"Ahh

"That's because the mountains and rivers around Liangshanbo are strange, the peaks are dense and the lakes are dense, the deep forests are dense, and the brute beasts are infested, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see the way in and out of Liangshanbo. Before Cher could answer, the playful voice of the girl in the green skirt (the big boss) came from the back room.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he was a little puzzled and said: "Xiong Boss, I killed your criminal law hall master, aren't you angry?"

The girl in the green skirt smiled slightly, touched the small dimples on her face with her jade hand, pinched her chin again, and said, "Oh! Brother Zhang Bufan, why are people angry, do you just want to see me angry to be happy, your hobby is not good?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "How could it be? I'm just asking, hehe." ”

Na Xiongshuang suddenly opened his big eyes, showed an innocent expression on his face, and asked delicately: "Brother Fan, a few days ago, you rode a horse and ran around in the mountains and forests, so have fun!"

"Really?" Zhang Fan saw Xiongshuang's infinitely reverie expression, with a weird smile, and asked, "You usually like to play with others like this?"

"Of course. The girl looked fascinated, as if she was recalling all the past, and said with a playful smile, "Some bold guys and those hateful wealthy businessmen outside, every time after we robbed the goods and killed someone, they all sent groups of stupid guys to feed the beasts in the mountains and forests. Some people couldn't come in person in the end, but they didn't go around the mountains and forests a few times, and they disappeared, and they didn't know where they went. ”

When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought: "I still don't reason with her, otherwise there will be heart problems." This girl is really a little female thief and a little witch, Cher only followed her for a few days and became unrecognizable, hey! But Cher is a little stronger, as long as no one bullies her, no matter what she becomes, I like it. Then he smiled helplessly: "Okay, I've served you, Xiongda." Now I'm going to join your cottage, you tell me about the situation of the cottage, so that I, a newcomer, can see the grand occasion of the cottage. ”

When the girl Xiongshuang heard this, the weird smile on her pretty face flashed, revealing a serious look, and she said in a clear voice with a superior tone: "Welcome Brother Zhang to join us in Liangshanbo." Liangshanbo is the only Jianghu faction in the famous mountain in the southwest of Qi - Liangshan, there are nearly 100 heroes, nearly 10,000 people, occupy the steep Liangshan, is one of the nine major forces of Qi. Liangshan has an inexplicable formation to guard, few enemies can attack it, over the years, many brute beasts and herbs have grown, although it is not as good as 100,000 mountains, but it is still among the famous mountains of Qi country. Liangshan Bo has six halls, including the War Hall, the Criminal Law Hall, the Alchemy Hall, the Barbarian Beast Hall, the Refining Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Hall, I am the master of Liangshan Bo Village, and I am also the master of the War Hall, the master of the Criminal Law Hall is dead, the master of the Alchemy Hall is Yun Jiuxiao, the master of the Barbarian Beast Hall is Xiongwantu, the master of the Refining Hall is the Iron God Soldier, and the master of the Zangjing Hall is Kong Muru. All the hall masters of Liangshanbo are martial artists above the Blood Refining Realm, and now that Feng Tianxiao is dead, if you have the cultivation of the Refining Vein Realm, you will be the hall master of the Criminal Law Hall, how about it?"

Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "No, right? I am the master of the Criminal Law Hall, how can I do it? I just killed Feng Tianxiao." ”

When Xiongshuang heard this, his pretty face darkened, and he said angrily: "It is precisely because you killed Feng Tianxiao that I let you be the master of the Criminal Law Hall, otherwise who will manage the Criminal Law Hall? The Criminal Law Hall is responsible for maintaining the rules of our Liangshanbo and ensuring that our Liangshanbo heroes are internally fair and fair, and it is the hall second only to the War Hall. After she finished speaking, she turned to Xue'er on the side and smiled and said, "Let's go, Sister Xue'er, let's go to the house to eat, leave them alone." When Xue'er heard this, her face was a little hesitant, but before she could speak, she was pulled into the back hall by Xiongshuang.

Zhang Fan really couldn't accept Xiongshuang's moody personality, and suddenly pulled Gao Zhuang over, staring at him motionlessly.

"Brother Zhang, don't look at me like this, okay?" Gao Zhuang was startled by Zhang Fan's movements, and stammered, "I don't know what's going on, our village master wasn't like this before." ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Really, why do I think I've been tricked?"

Gao Zhuang's face unconsciously showed an abnormal red cloud, and he said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Brother Zhang, I, Gao Zhuang, never lie, don't believe you ask the big boss?"

Zhang Fan was speechless, and said in his heart: "From the moment I entered this Liangshan, I felt abnormal. In the past few days, strange things have happened one after another, and I am like a cow being led by the nose, and I am dizzy. Now this honest thin man doesn't even hide his lies. Doesn't he know that the big boss can't be too trusted?Hey, I'm tired physically and mentally!" He didn't want to talk to Gao Zhuang anymore, so he said, "Brother Gao, let's go to the Criminal Law Hall to have a look, after all, I am the new Master of the Criminal Law Hall appointed by the big boss." ”

"Yes, yes!" Gao Zhuang hurriedly replied, "Let's go to the Criminal Law Hall." As he spoke, he walked out the door, but he didn't wait for Zhang Fan and the others.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan looked helpless, shook his head slightly, and then said to the three people around him: "Three uncles, let's go!"

The three of them didn't say anything when they heard this, just nodded, and then the four of them followed Gao Zhuang out of the courtyard gate of the council hall and walked towards a courtyard to the east. Zhang Fan followed Gao Zhuang to the front of the courtyard gate, only to see that the wooden courtyard gate was actually painted red, and there was a sandalwood plaque on the courtyard door, with three large seal characters on the "Criminal Law Hall", which was more luxurious than the courtyard called the council hall where the Xiongshuang was located, but unfortunately he did not see a guard waiting in front of the courtyard gate, which made Zhang Fan puzzled and reborn. He thought to himself, "Why is there such a big difference between the two halls?"

Although Zhang Fan can guess three or four points, he can't completely answer the doubts in his heart. He followed Gao Zhuang into the courtyard gate, entered the hall, and found that the criminal law hall carved beams and painted columns, carved window flowers, wooden wall decorations, sandalwood for the table, purple shirts for chairs, jade into pots, although not exquisite, but also considered rich, but unfortunately he never met a single servant.

Gao Zhuang brought Zhang Fan to the hall and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, this is the Criminal Law Hall, not bad, right?"

When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled, with a look of doubt on his face, and said, "Brother Gao, your Criminal Law Hall is indeed good, but how can there be no one here?"

When Gao Zhuang heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't still understand, do you?" You killed all the members of the Criminal Law Hall, even the two servants. ”

"Who said that?" Zhang Fan asked with a look of surprise on his face, "I only seem to have killed Feng Tianxiao." ”

Gao Zhuang ignored Zhang Fan's words and said, "Whether you kill them or not, now the Criminal Law Hall is in charge of you, and Liangshan will rely on you to maintain the fairness and justice of Liangshanbo in the future." Now I'm leaving, and we'll see you in the evening. He went out without looking back.
