"Dabao, Dabao was captured by the female leader of the horse bandits!" Mao Shanming ran all the way and was panting from exhaustion.
Uncle Jiu and Feng Yi were shocked when they heard the news. The female leader actually dared to sneak into the town secretly. She was very courageous, but she was also extremely careful. She kidnapped Dabao and ran away.
Uncle Jiu frowned and said, "She definitely had bad intentions in kidnapping Dabao. Feng Yi, you go to Ah Wei immediately and see how the two horse bandits in the prison are doing?"
"Yes, Master." Feng Yi and Uncle Jiu had the same idea, and rushed directly to the security team.
Uncle Jiu looked at Mao Shan and said: "Don't worry. If the female leader wants to harm Dabao, there is no need to kidnap him. She must have other ideas. Don't worry, I will try my best to rescue Dabao safely."
"Well, thank you, fellow Taoist." Mao Shan knew that it was useless to be anxious now and could only rely on Uncle Jiu.
Feng Yi quickly arrived at the security team, which was standing guard.
One of them was Ah Wei's confidant Ah Fu. When he saw Feng Yi, he stepped forward and asked, "Daozhang Feng, why are you here so late?"
"I have something to do with your captain. Where is your captain?" Feng Yi asked directly without making any detours.
Ah Fu looked hesitant and embarrassed when he heard this, and didn't say the reason for a long time.
"Forget it, let's not disturb him for now."
Feng Yi knew that Ah Wei was in a bad mood. Seeing that his confidant was hesitating, he mistakenly thought that he had gone to Yihonglou's sister "zhao and xiao and jie" to have fun, so he didn't ask any more questions and changed the question: "The two people in the prison are here."
He's a pretty honest horse bandit, I want to take a look now."
Unexpectedly, Ah Fu's expression became even weirder. Feng Yi couldn't help but asked anxiously: "What, is someone coming to rob the prison?"
"How can this be."
Ah Fu shook his head like a rattle and said confidently: "This is the prison of the security team. Who dares to come here without fear of death?"
Feng Yi was speechless when he heard this. At that time, Ah Wei locked Uncle Jiu here.
Here, Qiu Sheng broke through the prison single-handedly, okay, who gave you this confidence...
However, he was too lazy to argue with the other party and said: "Then take me to the prison quickly, because some people say that the female leader of the horse bandits has appeared in the town, and she might come to the prison to rob him!
The female leader is full of crooked ways and her whereabouts are unpredictable, so we have to be on guard against her."
Ah Fu trembled and said, "Daozhang Feng, come with me."
Ah Fu has seen with his own eyes how powerful the female leader is. A rifle is enough for ordinary people, but this group of horse bandits are not afraid of bullets at all, so their reliance is gone. In the end, they still have to rely on Uncle Jiu and Feng Yi.
On the way to the prison, Ah Fu explained awkwardly: "Our captain is in a bad mood today and can't sleep. He is interrogating the prisoners..."
oh?
Now Feng Yi finally understood why Ah Fu looked so embarrassed after he mentioned Ah Wei and Ma Bandit.
It turns out that Ah Wei did not go to Yihong Tower, but vented his anger on the horse bandits imprisoned in the prison, and was lynching them indiscriminately!
However, this is not unusual in this era. Horse bandits are bad guys who do all kinds of evil. Not to mention abusing lynchings, they are beaten to death without anyone caring about them. In today's unstable situation, the power of the security captain is quite great.
Just like Awei arrested Uncle Jiu based on one-sided words, Captain Cao arrested Mamadi's master and apprentice in order to find someone to take the blame. There was no need for evidence at all, just speculation, and no one dared to question it. This is evident.
Under the leadership of Ah Fu, Feng Yi quickly arrived at the prison and saw Ah Wei sitting on the ground panting and gasping for air. Opposite him were tied two horse bandits covered in whip wounds, their heads lowered at the moment.
I don’t know life or death.
Feng Yi remembered that these three horse bandit leaders could turn into ghosts after death. His heart trembled and he hurriedly said: "Awei, you didn't beat them to death, did you?"
Ah Wei turned around when he heard Feng Yi's voice and was about to laugh. Then he remembered what happened tonight and said listlessly: "Why are you here at this time? Do you want to see my joke?"
Feng Yi shook his head and said: "I see what your joke is doing and what good it does to me."
"Because I know that you all look down on me and don't want me to be Uncle Jiu's apprentice!" Ah Wei said angrily, waving the whip in his hand.
"You can't say that, Awei, if you want to become a disciple of Uncle Jiu, you just want to learn Taoism. This is actually not difficult. Even I can teach you."
Ah Wei just wanted to grin when Feng Yi said this, but Feng Yi's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on him.
"But, I really don't dare to teach you now."
Feng Yi pointed at the unconscious horse bandit and said: "You were quite well prepared tonight, Uncle Jiu almost agreed, but in the end it was you who messed up the matter, right?
Instead of looking for the reason within yourself, you took it out on Mao Shanming instead. As a result, you were tricked around by two ghosts;
After you came back, you still didn't reflect on it and turned your anger on the horse bandits.
Also, defeating the horse bandits is obviously the credit of everyone, and
People get hurt and sacrifice for this, but in the end you take all the credit on yourself.
Your temper and character not only make Uncle Jiu unhappy, but also make us feel uncomfortable. Think about it, who would accept you sincerely?"
In essence, Ah Wei is not a bad person. Although he likes to be pushy, he also sincerely thinks about the people of Renjia Town, so Feng Yi has the patience to persuade him.
Of course, he also had other considerations. In addition to literary talent, sooner or later he and Qiu Sheng would have to leave Uncle Jiu and start their own business. Uncle Jiu would have to have someone around to take care of him. Ah Wei was a suitable candidate.
If he can really get rid of some bad habits, Feng Yi wouldn't mind having such a junior brother.
Ah Wei lowered his head in shame when he heard Feng Yi's words. It's not that he didn't know that he had many bad habits. Firstly, he thought it was nothing, and secondly, no one dared to remind him, so he never took it to heart.
Thinking about it now, what Feng Yi said makes sense. Apart from anything else, his confidants Ah Fu and Ah Qiang knew that he wanted to apprentice with Uncle Jiu, but at the critical moment...
He was constantly tricked, causing his apprenticeship to be in vain. Didn't it also reflect his unpopularity from the side?
It seems that my faults really need to be corrected.
Ah Wei walked out of the cell, walked up to Feng Yi and said sincerely: "No one has ever said these words to me, thank you, Feng Yi."
"That's a long way to go. We have fought side by side more than once." Feng Yi joked with a smile.
Ah Wei also grinned, and soon he realized what he was doing, and asked curiously: "You came to me late at night to comfort me, right?"
"of course not."
Feng Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You're not worthy of my attention.
I came here to tell you that the female leader of the horse bandits appeared in the town tonight."
