Murong Feiyan came back when Wan Boping went out. She didn't get any information from the Yamen. It seemed that no one else knew about the fight last night. She couldn't help but watch Wan Boping's carriage and horse leave.
Somewhat curious, he whispered: "What is he doing here?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "We're in trouble again." Then he told her the purpose of Wan Boping's coming here.
After hearing this, Murong Feiyan frowned and said, "There seems to be something wrong with this matter. Could those horse thieves deliberately set a trap to take revenge on you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yan Boguang has just completed the operation, and now his life or death is uncertain. They should not dare to risk his life." He slowly shook his head and said: "I just don't know why they chose Heishizhai to meet?"
The most direct way to get the answer is to ask Hu Jinniu, the mastermind.
Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan came to the woodshed. Before they even walked through the door, they heard loud snoring. Hu Jinniu was sleeping soundly.
Hu Xiaotian walked in and kicked this guy's fleshy butt. Hu Jinniu was reminded by his kick. He opened his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth wide and yawned: "I, are you going to let me go?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "As long as you are obedient, I will naturally let you go. Your brothers have kidnapped the eldest young master of the Wan family."
When Hu Jinniu heard the news, he was surprised and delighted and said, "Really? I told you that you'd better let me go, otherwise my brothers on the mountain will never let you go."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that their arrest of Young Master Wan's family has nothing to do with you. This letter didn't mention anything about you at all." Hu Xiaotian asked Murong Feiyan to help Hu Jinniu's acupuncture point, and took the letter that Wan Boping brought
The letter was handed to him. Hu Jinniu took it and took a look, only to see that his name was not mentioned from beginning to end. He recognized the handwriting. It should have been written by his third brother. After reading this letter, Hu Jinniu's heart
I was really depressed to the extreme. I didn't expect that I had no place in the hearts of others. Even if I didn't even mention the matter of rescuing myself, I was obviously letting him fend for himself. No one cared about his life and death. All everyone cared about was
The safety of the young master Yan Boguang is, to put it bluntly, concerned about their own life and death.
Hu Xiaotian was good at observing words and expressions. From Hu Jinniu's depressed expression, he had already guessed what he was thinking at this time. He deliberately sighed and said: "My family, I really feel worthless for you. You risked your life for this young master's family."
, and donated so much blood to him, in the end, no one among your so-called brothers cares about your life or death. If you die, I don’t think anyone will help you take care of your family."
Although Hu Jinniu understood that Hu Xiaotian was deliberately stimulating him, he had to admit that everything Hu Xiaotian said was the truth.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. My family, I think you should not expect anyone to save you. The only one who can save you is yourself."
Murong Feiyan listened to the side and sighed secretly in his heart. Hu Xiaotian's eloquence is really great. He focuses on attacking the heart. He can always seize the psychological weaknesses of others. He can give a fatal blow at the critical moment. Although Hu Jinniu is a little bit like a little person.
Cunning. How could he be a match for this treacherous and evil man? Murong Feiyan would always unknowingly use derogatory words to describe Hu Xiaotian, no matter whether they were in the same camp or not.
Hu Jinniu sighed and said: "Brothers are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes."
Hu Xiaotian said: "We are husband and wife. Those who fly away when disaster strikes are not brothers. After all, we are also members of the same family. Although I am an official and you are a thief, I think that we are of the same blood and have an ancestor, so I will not treat you the same."
You have done so cruelly, and if I send you to the government, you will inevitably be beheaded for your crime."
Hu Jinniu raised his head and looked at Hu Xiaotian, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of hope. Indeed, Hu Xiaotian has not sent him to the government so far. It seems that he is really merciful to him. He said doubtfully: "You mean,
Are you going to let me go?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It depends on what you do. If you are honest with me, I will naturally show mercy to you. I will just pretend that what happened last night never happened. I can even pretend that I have never met you."
What do you think?"
The letter just now had completely destroyed Hu Jinniu's hope. He knew that it was impossible to rely on the brothers in Tianlang Mountain to save him. Hu Xiaotian was right, and the only solution now was to save himself. He whispered
Said: "What do you want to know?"
"Why did they choose Black Stone Village? What is the connection between Tianlang Mountain and Black Stone Village?"
Hu Jinniu said: "There is a famous Miao doctor in Heishizhai. His surname seems to be Meng. Our first choice was to send Shaodong's family to him for help. Unfortunately, Doctor Meng went to the mountains to collect medicine and did not return. Later,
We heard that Zhou Wenju, the miracle doctor of Xichuan, was visiting the Wan family, so we thought of kidnapping him to come and treat the young host's family. Who would have thought that this miracle doctor of Xichuan is a fake and a big fake. "
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile. Zhou Wenju was not considered a parallel importer, but he was lacking in surgery. Even if he found the Miao doctor named Meng, the final result would be the same, and he would still be helpless.
Hu Jinniu said: "We saw that the young master's condition did not improve, so we threatened to kill Zhou Wenju. He is a tough guy, but his medicine boy has no spine. He recruited you when we were scared, so we
That’s why I thought of a way to invite you to treat the young host’s family.”
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What is your connection with the Black Miao people?"
Hu Jinniu shook his head and said with a confused look on his face: "There is no connection. It seems that the owner of Blackstone Village had some troubles with our boss. By the way, my third lady often goes there. It seems that she has friends there. Others
I don’t know.”
Murong Feiyan knew that Hu Xiaotian had decided to go to Blackstone Village, otherwise he would not have asked so carefully. After interrogating Hu Jinniu, Hu Xiaotian asked Liang Dazhuang to call Liu Kuohai. Liu Kuohai was a local in Qingyun and was very familiar with the surrounding situation.
Familiarity, there is another reason, Liu Kuohai is good at martial arts, if he really encounters any trouble, he will have an extra helper to protect him.
After Liang Dazhuang left, Murong Feiyan said: "Have you decided?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. If I don't go on this trip, they will definitely come up with new tricks."
Murong Feiyan said: "That lewd thief deserved his death, just let him die on his own."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Death is actually not terrible. For many people, death is a relief. The most painful thing in the world is that life is worse than death." This guy couldn't help but feel proud when he thought about the hands and feet he had moved on Yan Boguang's body.
He chuckled and said: "Now is not the time to make enemies with Tianlang Mountain. If Yan Boguang really dies, the relationship between us and these horse thieves will be unbreakable."
Murong Feiyan said: "Even if Liu Kuohai is included, the three of us will be alone when we go deep into Black Stone Village. If something happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to cope with it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not to fight, why are there so many people here? These bandits are not stupid. They deliberately chose a relatively neutral place. As long as Yan Boguang is alive, they will not dare to attack us. Besides, there is Black Rock there.
The village is the territory of the Black Miao people, and they dare not act rashly."
Murong Feiyan said: "Why not inform the government?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "No one can trust the officials in the county government. If this matter comes to their ears, who knows they won't add insult to injury? Falsely accuse me of colluding with the horse bandits in Tianlang Mountain?"
"Will they set up an ambush in Blackstone Village and wait for us to fall into the trap?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No, the news about Yan Boguang's injury should not have reached Tianlang Mountain yet. The reason why Hu Jinshan and the others stayed in Qingyun to seek medical treatment was probably because they had made two preparations. If Yan Boguang can be saved, then
They still dare to return to Tianlang Mountain. If Yan Boguang dies unfortunately, I think they will most likely escape and will never dare to return to Tianlang Mountain, otherwise they will only die."
Murong Feiyan nodded slowly. Hu Xiaotian's analysis was indeed very reasonable. She said softly: "I'll go with you!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I knew you would definitely do it."
Murong Feiyan said: "Don't think that you know me very well. If you are really in danger, I will definitely leave you behind without hesitation."
"Are you willing?" The smile on Hu Xiaotian's lips is intriguing.
Murong Feiyan suddenly felt a heat on her pretty face, lowered her long black eyelashes, and whispered: "When will we set off?"
Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and said: "Now!"
Hu Xiaotian only took Murong Feiyan and Liu Kuohai with him. He asked Liang Dazhuang to stay. Firstly, because Liang Dazhuang was not very good at martial arts. If there was a fight, instead of being of much help, he would become a burden. Secondly, there was also a need here.
Taking care of him alone, Hu Xiaotian specifically told him that if he hadn't come back today at Youshi, he would immediately go to the county government to report the case and contact the police officers and soldiers to go to Heishizhai for support. Of course, this possibility was slim, and Hu Xiaotian didn't think that these bandits would ignore it.
Yan Boguang's disregard for life and death dared to plot revenge on himself.
Murong Feiyan had experienced Hu Xiaotian's clever mind more than once, but this time she saw his superhuman courage. Even she herself had to think twice about this trip to Black Stone Village, but Hu Xiaotian did almost nothing
Deciding to go there without any hesitation requires not only wisdom, but also extraordinary courage.
The three of them set off at Sishi and headed west after leaving the city. Liu Kuohai was a native of Qingyun and was very familiar with the local customs. Through his introduction, he learned that Black Rock Village is the Miao village with the largest number of Black Miao people living near Qingyun.
, a total of more than 500 households. Although Heishizhai is only fifteen miles away from Qingyun County, it has always maintained its unique Hei Miao culture and strictly abides by the rule of non-intermarriage with Han people. In addition to doing business and transactions in daily life,
He rarely had any contact with the Han people in the city.
Liu Kuohai only went to Blackstone Village twice during his nineteen-year-old life. Both times he accompanied his father there to ask for advice. It can be said that Liu Kuohai really chose the right person to go with him. He was the only person he recognized in Blackstone Village.
