Chapter 18: The Night Feast
After eliminating the two guards of the treasure house, the monkey carefully took out a key from behind the third brick on the right stone wall, and went in and out of the keyhole of the iron door that was two feet high and several feet thick.
"It is said that this Madu Governor has a lot of money, and I don't know if it's true or not!" muttered the monkey, his eyes full of greedy excitement.
The iron door was slammed open, and the piles of gold, silver and jewels were not seen, but thirty or forty sergeants in armor were coldly facing the door with crossbow arrows in their hands, and the four of them were stunned by this scene.
"The four of you don't sleep at night, why do you come to my governor's mansion?" A big man dressed as a butler, with triangular eyes and thin lips, walked out of the sergeant pile, holding a thin-bladed straight knife with an eagle in his left hand.
"The master has no money, I heard that the Governor's Mansion has a lot of money, so I came to borrow some money to spend!
"What a guts!" the big man smiled, "Sure enough, you are a hero who has been a boy since ancient times! I should be able to guess your identity, Flying Spirit Monkey Monkey, he committed 26 crimes in Jiangnan in three years, and none of them were arrested, it is said that the six doors have already placed a reward of 5,000 taels on you, life and death, I didn't expect to be planted here, right?"
"Master, I'm a hero, I don't know if you're not? This time, I admit it, but I don't accept it! If you really knock down the master, you're really convinced, don't you want to know where my big treasure is hidden?"
"I'm not a hero, I don't want you to be convinced, I don't need your money, not only do I don't want your money, my master also invites you and the three friends behind you to have a drink, you don't have to think about running away, these are barberry crossbows transferred from the army, no matter how powerful you are within ten zhang, you can't escape death, the four of you still go to the banquet with me!"
"By the way, I have to go to the four brothers to take off the masks, otherwise wouldn't it be awkward to eat!"
The four of them had no choice but to take off the mask, and unexpectedly the monkey looked like a monkey with red lips and white teeth, and a small appearance.
The four of them were escorted to the banquet, during which Second Brother Li was quite dissatisfied-
"I swore to take the three of us to get rich, but what happened? Dozens of big men hid behind the door with crossbows! Your Excellency is here to make money or to give your life? Even if you are to give your life, don't take the three of us with you!"
"I didn't force you to go, it's not that a few of you are greedy and who blames you! Also, how powerful you really are, a few of you will appear as soon as you enter the Governor's Mansion, and it is a miracle that the three little thieves with no experience are not caught! If it weren't for the master, I am afraid that you will ruin my big business, who cares if you live or die!" The monkey was even more angry.
"Your big business is to die here, then don't take our third brother with you!" Second Brother Li mocked.
The two of them quarreled all the way until the four of them were escorted to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
"Let's go by yourself! I still have to serve my master!" said the big man coldly.
Dahan waved his hand, and more than 30 soldiers were ordered to retreat, and just as Dahan was about to leave, Zhou Qian suddenly asked, "Is Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, the chief administrator of the Governor's Mansion?"
Dahan frowned and looked at Zhou Qian, and said, "Your Excellency, what's the matter?" Obviously, he had acquiesced.
"Your jade pendant has fallen!" Zhou Qian threw Ma Yuan's jade pendant to him, ignoring the fleeting cold light in his eyes, and said to himself: "Let's go in quickly!
"What the hell are you doing, third brother! You can see the expression of Zhao Qisan just now, as if he wants to eat us!" Second Brother Li touched a cold sweat and looked at it for a long time, until he couldn't see Ma Yuan's back before he whispered.
"Why did you give the jade pendant to others, this is an important evidence! It is extremely important to the imperial court and to us!" Wang Hu also said sternly.
"I-" Zhou Qian was about to speak.
"I think this brother is doing a good job!" said the monkey with a smile.
"It's your business!" Li Sanshan said politely.
"We are thieves, how can there be a reason for the master to catch the thief and not send him to the official! At least we have to be beaten half to death!" The monkey said unconcernedly, "Set up a banquet for us? There must be a conspiracy!"
"So what?" said Li Sanshan.
"We are the turtle in the four urns, we don't know what the situation is, in this case, the river is naturally as muddy as possible, and the other party has concerns, although I don't know what kind of treasure this jade pendant is, but this little brother is doing a good move!"
"So that's the case!" Li Sanshan suddenly said, "Third child, you have a far-sighted strategy!"
"I don't think as much as this monkey thinks, but I think that the more complicated the situation, the better the chance of saving our lives!" Zhou Qian said embarrassedly.
"Let's go, three!" the monkey sighed helplessly, "From now on!
In the main hall, the lights are bright, and the staggered plans are staggered.
Around the hall, dozens of night pearls are placed with a bright white light, and the bottom is spread with a valuable unicorn blanket from the Western Regions, the tables and chairs are of fine rosewood, and the surrounding furniture is pipe, flute, and flute, which are laid in splendid embroidery, and there are several beautiful and delicious maids playing the brocade pipa, and the atmosphere is luxurious.
There were already nine people sitting at the table, all dressed well, not like ordinary people, Zhou Qian was surprised to see that several of them actually knew him, Wang Jing who he saw in the restaurant that day, Wang Wei's brothers and sisters were also among them, and there was also a person dressed in official clothes, an old man with a sword, a sturdy young man, a strong man, a scholar, an old woman with a cane, a beautiful woman dressed in charm, and a fat man in a silk costume sitting in the middle.
Could it be that this fat man is just a knife to seal Ma San's throat? Zhou Qian had a big question in his heart.
"Third master, who are these?" the old woman's hoarse voice sounded.
"Hehe! All over the world are guests!" The fat Du Ma San said with a smile, "Come on, look at the seats!"
The four maids brought four paulownia carved chairs to serve the four of them and sat down, and Ma San said again: "Don't you introduce yourself?"
"How can there be a reason for the host not to introduce first, but to let the guests introduce themselves! Ma Dudu can do a bad job!"
"What Liu Zhutou said is! It's the official who did a bad job! It's the official who did a bad job! The official has three cups, come and come, Chun'er, pour wine and pour wine!" Ma San laughed, instructed the beautiful woman next to him, and touched her smooth face by the way.
"Master is really! drink less!" Chun'er, the concubine of the sixth room, said shyly and timidly, her bewitching figure seemed to be hanging on Ma San's body, and the strong man she looked at had straight eyes.
"Then this official will help you get familiar with it, so as not to be born, this is the head of the six doors of brocade clothes Liu Putou, one of the only sixteen brocade shop heads of the six doors, high and powerful, famous!" Ma San said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare! It's just an errand for a little money. Liu Zhutou said lightly.
"Next to me are the descendants of Mr. Jin Jian Wang, Miss Wang Wei, Wang Jinggongzi, and the three Zhao brothers who kicked all over the Jianghuai River with a pair of legs, and Mr. Liu of the Qiantang Sword Sect, I don't know if what the official said is right?" Ma San said with a smile, his eyes were mysterious.
"Why didn't your Excellency the friend next to you introduce me?" Liu Zhutou's face became gloomy.
"Liu Zhutou is angry!" Ma San still had such a harmless smile on his chubby face, "This one's name is Sun Zhen, you must not have heard of the name, but this brother has done a lot of great things recently!" Ma San pointed to the big man.
"He is the famous horse bandit leader, and the Shenji Battalion was ambushed by him in Jiming Valley, and all the battalions were destroyed!"
As soon as the words came out of the ghostly shock, not only did everyone in the government change their complexion when they heard it, but even the big man didn't expect it and seemed to be taken aback, and suddenly pulled out the ghost head nine-ring knife behind him, and shouted angrily: "Ma Laosan, what do you mean! Do you want to sell Lao Tzu to the government? Don't forget what you did back then!"
"Don't worry!" Liu Zhutou looked at his nose and nose, raised his hand to stop Wang Wei, who had half of the sword out of the sheath, and said lightly: "Ma Dudu hasn't finished introducing it yet!"
"Yes, the official hasn't finished introducing it yet!" Ma San smiled lightly, as if he didn't take everyone seriously.
"Let him speak!" the old woman said hoarsely, and the bandit leader seemed to have deep scruples about the old woman, and retreated in a reluctant.
"This is really a well-known old-timer for 30 years, I don't need to say that Liu Zhutou knows each other!"
"The head of the dragon is tied to Grandma She, and the front is the remnant!" Liu Zhutou said with a blushing face.
"Hehe, hehe, I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for decades, I didn't expect the current juniors to be so ignorant of the rules!" Grandma She's face shook like a shriveled bark, like a thousand-year-old tree demon.
"As for this, it is Tang Xiucai, who is a local little cultured, and he will go to Luodu to participate in the government examination next!" Ma San paused when he said this, "But this one has another identity, that is, the third son of the Red Lotus Sect Master, Lu Zheng and Young Master Lu." ”
"Thieves in the troubled country!" Liu Zhutou's face was already gloomy to the extreme, "Okay, good! Ma Dudu is loyal to the country, benevolent and righteous, and after this head catches these three thieves, he will ask for credit for the adults!"
"My lord, slow down!" Ma San said in a deep voice, "I am a person from the imperial court and a person in the rivers and lakes, and I am talking about righteous words, and the leader of the Red Lotus Sect has saved my life, and I can't help but report it." I implore Liu Zhutou to spare his life. ”
"What if the official says no?" Liu Zhutou stared at Ma Sandao.
"That official can only say no!" Ma San clapped his hands vigorously, and countless black shadows suddenly poured out of the hall, and there was a faint sound of bows and crossbows winding.
"The Qiantang Water Master has an internal ghost!, isn't it?" Liu Zhutou suddenly asked.
"I'm very timid, I don't dare to do anything rebellious!"
"Give me proof!"
"What I'm doing now is the biggest proof!" Ma San said word by word.
"Giggles! Giggles!" Grandma She suddenly screamed, like a night owl screaming at night, and Zhou Gan's eardrums were faintly painful when she laughed, "Ma Laosan, you invited us here to attract people from the court, don't you really think that you can keep this official hat if you betray us, right? Who drank blood wine in front of the statue of the godless old mother back then, and swore a poisonous oath!"
"Of course I know, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu doesn't do it, and then he goes back to mingle with the rivers and lakes and becomes Lao Tzu's swordsman; but Lao Tzu is not crazy! Change the dynasty, usurp the throne and rebel! Is this kind of thing something you can do?" Ma San suddenly scolded, "Bullshit fights the world, and the total wealth is rich! It's all brains that are blinded by lard! The sect leader is good to me, but if Lao Tzu accompanies him to copy the nine clans, he is not qualified enough!"
"It's not like you haven't seen the sect leader's magical powers, the sect leader's immortal magic is mysterious, and you have doubts about the destiny of heaven?" Lu Zheng said suddenly.
"The sect master's immortal art is powerful!" Ma San was silent for a while, and said, "But can the immortal art be able to rival the master of a million tigers and wolves?"
The door was slammed open, and Ma Yuan led several officers to rush in.
"Oh no!"
