The servant of the government servant did not buy the herbal medicine at all. He ran back to the ruined temple in a panic and shouted: "Herbal medicine, where can I buy the herbal medicine?"
As soon as they entered the temple gate, the yamen servant was lying on the ground with a pale face. The servant was scared to death and ran over to check and found that the yamen servant had died tragically.
"Something happened! Someone is dead!"
He screamed and ran outside the ruined temple to call for help. Four merchants happened to pass by and came in.
"You guys stay here for now, and I'll call some people!" The attendant ran to call the others. The four merchants laughed and cooperated with Wang Hongyu to change the clothes of the yamen servants with his own, and this time they disguised themselves as corpses to fish.
Four merchants carried the body to Yizhuang at the entrance of the town, and waited for the family to be notified later to build a coffin for burial.
When it got dark, the crowd of people watching in Yizhuang dispersed, and Wang Hongyu finally got up to eat and drink. His soldiers asked: "Boss, the bandits on the nearby hills have been investigated clearly. Do you want the brothers to chop them all up?"
"Don't worry, wait for the fish to take the bait on its own, so we don't have to go down to the river to fish by ourselves~"
Seeing Mr. Wang's bright smile, everyone felt relieved, because every time this smile appeared, the thieves would leave peacefully.
...
At the same time, the heads of the three big families in Bulao Town personally reported the situation to Ma Wenqing.
"We have already investigated. Three gangsters and three bandits are all missing..."
A skinny old man said slowly that he was the head of a family.
His family had a close relationship with Yan Guan Ma Wenqing decades ago, and it was because of his support that they were able to engage in human trade.
Specifically, they sold able-bodied Han men to Mongolia as slaves, and sold Yi men as servants to the big families in Guan Nei, thus becoming the largest family in the area.
After listening to his words, Ma Wenqing once again realized how scary Wang Hongyu was.
"According to the description of the yamen servant, the first time he saw the corpse's face was that of the yamen servant. When the four merchants came in, he didn't look at it again." The other man was a vicious middle-aged man.
"In my opinion, that thief wanted to exchange the civet cat for the prince, and disguised himself as a corpse to escape!" The last one was a bald man with strong muscles.
The two families usually trade with bandits who kill people and sell goods. When the news is tight, they carry out normal business. When the control is loose, they just take it all.
Both of them worked closely with Gao Xueru.
Therefore, Ma Wenqing, Gao Xueru and others dare to hide here.
After listening to their report, Ma Wenqing stroked his beard: "Those four merchants must be cooperating... they dropped their bags while looking at the corpse and wanted to escape tonight."
"We must not let this thief escape!" Gao Xueru was the first to shout that Wang Hongyu must be killed.
"That's right, send in people and efforts to kill him!" The three major families also expressed their stance.
At this time, the curtain behind Ma Wenqing moved, and a figure stood there.
"This is?"
The people of the three major families don't know what's going on.
Ma Wenqing signaled them to be calm.
She Baoyun behind the curtain coughed lightly and spoke: "Everyone, Wang Hongyu is here to face your three major families~"
"What!?"
"How dare he!"
The heads of the two weaker families were angry.
Only the skinny old man thought of his rival Lao Tan in the south of Miyun, and his expression became very cold: "It's Lao Tan...that damn guy."
"Hee~"
She Baoyun sneered: "In that case, we will be the victims and get rid of Wang Hongyu and his helpers in Miyun. In the end, the three of you will blame Sichuan Bing and Lao Tan Huohe..."
"Is this possible?" One of the three major families asked with some doubts.
"Ask me if it's okay, hey~" Shebao Yun smiled softly: "They will kill you, do you think it's okay?"
After all, the three major families had limited information, and they were "beaten" to their own homes. They finally made a cruel decision and decided that this matter must be done.
"Okay, call all the brothers down from the mountain, and all the gangsters in the town will participate..."
Ma Wenqing looked at the three major families sending out all their manpower, and nodded with great relief.
But he didn't immediately understand that as they took action with whom he was closely related, he was no longer "innocent".
Behind her, Shebao Yun laughed secretly. This was their second level goal - to get Ma Wenqing into the water and raise troops for the She family.
Ma Wenqing's eyelids twitched and he said to Gao Xueru: "You should also follow. You must identify the target personally. You will live to see the person dead or see the corpse."
"clear!"
...
At midnight, Wang Hongyu was almost asleep.
It is said that this Yizhuang was a place where corpses were temporarily stored in ancient times. There might be some horror stories, but after waiting all night, there was no movement.
It takes so long to wait for the fish to bite.
"Cuckoo~"
A cuckoo called, and the scouts spotted the shadow of the fish.
"Da da~ da da~"
There were knocking sounds on the walls of Yizhuang. Five loud sounds, eight small sounds, 58 enemies!
That's all...it seems like there's a little trouble with Lao Tan~
After burning incense, a large number of people holding torches surrounded the entire Yizhuang. Several people got in and looked left and right. After confirming that there was only one person lying inside, they shouted: "There is only one!"
"Okay! You guys are waiting outside."
One of the patriarchs of the three families arrived here, and Gao Xueru also came with him.
Among the 58 of them, apart from half of the servants, the rest include the bandit leader and his remaining subordinates.
Regardless of whether they were servants or bandits, they all walked in with swords, axes and swords, looking fierce.
"What are you afraid of? There's only one of you, and we don't know whether he's dead or alive~" the bandit leader said sarcastically.
Gao Xueru looked unhappy and said: "Huh!? Remember, you are only the boss in the mountains, it is not your turn to speak here."
However, he felt a little embarrassed after being ridiculed by the bandit leader, so he bravely stepped forward to inspect the "body" first.
"The clothes are definitely those of a government official, but this man...
Something’s wrong!”
Gao Xueru screamed in fright, and everyone else took three steps back.
"Hey~ You still dare to mock our family members. You took three steps back, but my master didn't move a step." A family nurse sneered at the bandit leader.
"Something's wrong!"
The bandit leader had killed many people after all, and looked at Gao Xueru with a somewhat frightened look.
Gao Xueru trembled and looked at his arm in shock.
A big hole was pierced through the arm by a big fishhook. Others were caught, so of course they couldn't move back.
"That's right. If you catch a big fish with a big hook, it's worth it for me to be the bait myself~"
Wang Hongyu turned over and sat up, with a handsome and warm smile on his face. He held a big fishhook in his hand and pulled it.
Gao Xueru screamed and knelt down.
"Damn it! Kill him!"
The servants and bandits hurriedly waved their weapons and stepped forward.
Wang Hongyu snapped his fingers, and the walls of Yizhuang suddenly exploded, and the pre-embedded gunpowder was ignited. For a moment, the whole town was shaken and the whole town was completely awakened.
