Chapter 2867
After the food and drinks were set, Li Qiufeng personally filled the glasses with wine for Hu Er and others, and then persuaded the three of them to drink and eat food. After Hu Er and others drank a few glasses of wine, they each ate chicken and elbow meat, and their bodies suddenly became light and airy.
, and his words became confusing. Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to say: "Brother Hu, you said that Dongliao County has suffered a catastrophe, can you elaborate on it?"
Hu Er was so dizzy from drinking that he dared to curse even if his wife came in front of him. Hearing Li Qiufeng ask him, he smiled, patted Li Qiufeng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I
I know you are worried about your family members who stayed in Dong'an County. In fact, in life, the most important thing is that you are happy and happy. Everyone else should get the hell out of here! Especially the wife you marry into your family.
I'm tired of watching. I'm afraid that after those shrews enter the house, they will be like greedy hungry wolves and tigers, and they will never give up until you are eaten to the bone! Listen to my words, it is understandable to feel sorry for your parents, if
Your wife died in the hands of robbers this time, so just secretly enjoy yourself! Haha, haha!"
Li Qiufeng listened to Hu Er's confusing words, and felt angry and funny at the same time. But he wanted to get information from this person, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to laugh twice. When he was about to speak, Hu Er rushed to say: "I'll tell you the truth."
, the three of us are all timber businessmen, we do timber business in Pinganli at the foot of Baishan Mountain, and we have been doing business with a horseman from Dongliao County in the past few years..."
When Li Qiufeng heard what Hu Er said, his heart trembled. He thought of the owner of the horse farm in Majiazhuang in the east of Dongliao County, and secretly thought that besides the horseman Hu Er mentioned, he was most likely the owner of the horse farm.
The master made his fortune in the timber business and had always been at odds with Wangjiazhuang. This man was greedy and had a fortune of tens of millions. As a result, he was targeted by the Yagyu clan. He died in the hands of the Yagyu clan's killers and his family property also fell into the hands of Japanese pirates. Hu Er and others
Knowing that something big happened in Dongliao County was probably because they went to Dongliao County to find the owner of the horse farm and accidentally learned about the Japanese pirates' capture of Dongliao County.
While Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard Hu Er continue to say: "Ma Yuanwai bought a batch of timber from us four months ago and owes us a sum of money. We are going to Dongliao County this time to transfer this sum of money to us."
I asked for the money back. Unexpectedly, I walked not far to the east of Majiazhuang seven days ago and found several corpses lying on the ground."
When Hu Er said this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and a look of horror appeared on his face. He paused for a moment, and then said in a trembling voice: "When we saw this situation, we were so scared that we lost our minds. We secretly thought that Ma Yuanwai was from Dongliao County.
We are a handful of rich people. We have been to Majiazhuang several times before. The village is very neatly built. With the skills of the horsemen, how can we let these corpses lie outside Majiazhuang? I am afraid that there has been a huge change in the village. The owner of Majiazhuang
I was so overwhelmed that I had no time to collect and bury these corpses.
"The three of us discussed it for a while. Although we were scared, we thought that the money had not been retrieved yet and we could not go back to explain it. So after thinking about it over and over again, we bravely walked to Majiazhuang. When we reached the entrance of the village, we again
I saw more than a dozen corpses. Judging from their clothes, they were all villagers from Majiazhuang. Looking at the dark area inside the village, it seemed that some terrible evil beast was lurking. We were so scared that we screamed.
He shouted, turned around and ran away. He ran as fast as he could for two or three miles and then stopped.
"After stopping, we recalled that most of the corpses of the villagers we saw just now were missing their limbs. We knew that something tragic must have happened in Majiazhuang. Ma Yuanwai was a well-known figure in Dongliao County and had always been on good terms with the government. Zhuanglizhuang
So many people died outside, and the corpses were abandoned, so it must not have been at the hands of the government. Most likely, Ma Yuanwai offended a figure in the world, or was targeted by bandits from the Green Forest Village, and that's why he suffered a catastrophe."
When Hu Er said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng, lowered his voice and whispered: "Little brother, since you are a native of Dongliao County, you must know Ma Yuanwai? Do you know that Ma Yuanwai is not only the owner of Majia Village?
Besides, is he still someone else?"
Although Li Qiufeng knew the details of the owner of the horse farm, he just didn't know why Hu Er asked such a question, so he pretended to be puzzled and said hesitantly: "Ma Yuanwai is a famous rich man in our Dongliao County.
He is so wealthy that even the county magistrate looks upon him differently. I know he is the owner of Majia Village, but as for his other identity, I don’t know."
Seeing Li Qiufeng's puzzled expression, Hu Er felt proud and said with a smile: "My little brother is an honest man, so naturally he doesn't know the details of Ma Yuan. In addition to being the owner of Majia Village, he is also a member of the Liaodong platoon.
The leader of the gang. The Pai Gang makes a living by setting up rafts and reselling wood. Although it cannot be called a green forest village or a gangster, it has secret contacts with many green forest villages. Otherwise, the wood obtained by the owner of the horse farm may not be able to leave Baishan.
If you step on it, you will be robbed by everyone. The catastrophe that Majiazhuang suffered this time may be because of the dirty hands between the horsemen and the green forest thieves.
"The three of us discussed it for a long time. At first we were scared and just wanted to escape back to Ping'an. But when we thought about taking the money provided by Mr. Qu, if we returned to Ping'an empty-handed, according to Mr. Qu's temper, we would have to return the money.
He can't. In this case, our trip is in vain, and we still have to find more than ten taels of silver for Mr. Qu. How can we be willing to do so?!"
When Li Qiufeng heard what Hu Er said, he felt enlightened. He thought to himself that Hu Er had just claimed that the three of them were in the timber business and that they were doing timber business with the owner of the horse farm. At this time, he was so excited that he unknowingly told the truth.
I think the three of them are not lumber shop owners at all, but just three small characters, helping a guy named Qu Erye. Qu Erye is the boss doing business with the horse owner, because the horse owner owes him a fortune.
After receiving the money, Master Qu asked Hu Er and others to go to Dongliao County to collect the money. Before Hu Er and others set off, Master Qu gave three people money and probably promised them to take the money back to Ping'an.
After that, they gave the three people a few taels of silver as reward. When Hu Er and others arrived outside Majiazhuang, they found corpses everywhere inside and outside Majiazhuang. The owner of Majiazhuang was most likely killed, so the three of them naturally couldn't get the money.
The money that the second master begged for. In this way, if the three of them returned to Ping Anli empty-handed, the second master Qu would not only not pay the reward, but he would also probably have to get back the money he had given to the three of them. In this way, Hu Er and others
Not to mention that there is no money to be made from this trip, I am afraid that each person will have to pay five or six taels of silver. No wonder Hu Er just shouted that he would be scolded by the tigress when he returned home. He thought that before he set off, he had already made money from this trip.
I told my wife about the reward, but if I went home empty-handed, I would naturally not be able to avoid a scolding.
While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he heard Hu Er continue to say: "We thought about it and finally made up our mind to go straight to the magistrate's office of Dongliao County and report the disaster in Majiazhuang to the magistrate. We saw
The corpses of the villagers at the entrance of Majiazhuang have not yet decomposed. I think the day when the green forest thieves committed the murder was only a day or two ago, and the government did not know about it yet. If we were the first to report this to the government, maybe we would get it
With a reward of more than ten taels of silver, this trip is neither a loss nor a profit, which is a good thing.
"After we made up our minds, we bypassed Majiazhuang and walked straight to Dongliao County. It was already late at night and it was dark all around. We could only walk forward gropingly. Unexpectedly, we had just walked more than a mile.
On the ground, I saw a large group of black shadows in front of me. We only thought that the thieves in the forest were ambushing us here. We were so frightened that we turned around and wanted to escape, but several figures had already chased me. I saw these people in their hands.
The cold light flashed, as if he was holding a bright steel knife, which frightened the old man's legs to the point where he almost knelt on the ground."
