Li Ergou went back, taking Ma Hanshan's promise with him. He didn't expect that this trip to run errands for his brother-in-law would end up in a big restaurant. He also couldn't figure out why Ma Hanshan wanted to jointly run restaurants with him in Suishui County and Zhuzhou.
The capital was financed by the owner of Mazhai, and the business was run by him. The profit turned out to be 50-50. He felt that there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave, and such a good thing happened to him.
In fact, Ma Hanshan only has one requirement, as long as he doesn't lose money, it doesn't matter if he makes more or less.
He really didn't care. He just wanted to establish an information contact station. The news in the county and state was very important.
After sending Li Er'er the dog away, Huang Chongba, who was thrown into the cellar, also woke up.
Huang Chongba had no idea what was going on. When he opened his eyes, all the scenery and people he saw were completely unfamiliar.
In this situation, everyone would panic, especially when he saw A Niu and Ma Hanshan in strange costumes, he was even more panicked. Who... are these people? He asked in great fear: "You... who are you... who are you...
Where...I...why am I here..."
"Your name is Huang Chongba, and you are the confidant of County Lieutenant Ge Guangpei?" Ma Hanshan did not answer Huang Chongba and started interrogating directly.
"I...I'm not...I don't understand what you are talking about...Tell me, who are you..." Huang Chongba denied, but he actually knew how to counter interrogation?
"Really not? Are you sure it's not? Think carefully before answering, because whether it is yes or no is a matter of life and death for you." Ma Hanshan had to confirm the identity of Huang Chongba and thus confirm the message sent by Li Ergou.
Although he had no reason to doubt Wan Yuanwai Li Ergou, he had to be careful about this kind of thing.
Ma Hanshan was not trying to scare him. If he insisted that he was not Huang Chongba, maybe he would die. Ma Hanshan didn't have the money and food to feed a useless waste.
"I...I...I am Huang Chongba, and I work as an errand for Mr. Ge County Lieutenant." Huang Chongba was completely sober and could not withstand Ma Hanshan's momentum, so he had to admit it.
"Tell me, what have you done today, starting from when you got up in the morning." Ma Hanshan spoke in a calm tone, as if it didn't matter whether he said it or not.
However, Huang Chongba already understood the consequences of not speaking or speaking nonsense.
"In the morning...I didn't get up in the morning because I didn't sleep in bed last night. I spent the night...in a cave on a mountain last night because...because I entered Guogai Mountain yesterday and didn't come out of the mountain at night...
." Huang Chongba's psychological defense has collapsed, so he doesn't start talking about it when he gets up today, but starts talking about it when he came to Wanheji yesterday.
He poured all these things out like a bamboo tube, because he had already guessed where this place was and who the "fancy-dressed" person sitting opposite was.
He guessed where this place was, guessed who this person was, and yet he appeared here. Needless to say, he knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to tell the truth. Because what he had done and what he had said must have been
Someone told the other person.
After listening to Huang Chongba's narration, Ma Hanshan's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Huh, you deserve to die, I'm going to kill you."
"Ah?" Not only Huang Chongba was shocked, A Niu was also shocked. What happened to the young master? This guy has confessed everything, but he wants to kill him instead?
"Why...Master Mazhai, why do you want to kill me...I'll tell you everything." Huang Chongba was shocked and exclaimed.
"It's because you know who I am, and because you explained everything." Ma Hanshan said with a dark face.
"I...I guess who you are is the reason to kill me?" Huang Chongba really couldn't laugh or cry. This was also the reason to kill him.
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you should be killed for being disloyal and unjust." Ma Hanshan stood up and pointed at Huang Chongba and said, "You are Ge Guangpei's confidant, but you leaked Ge Guangpei's secret. This is disloyal.
You are Ge Guangpei's confidant, but you betrayed Ge Guangpei to me. This is unjust. Shouldn't unfaithful and unjust people die?"
"Humph, I am not disloyal or unjust. I am loyal to my family and country, and I am loyal to Da Song, not to a dog official like him. I am even less unjust. As an official of the imperial court, Ge Guangpei does not want to serve the country.
He doesn't care about the people, but cares about human life for profit. For his own selfishness, he treats heroes like dogs and life like dirt. He is unjust. I am not ashamed of what he did and will tell the world about his unrighteousness.
, It’s justice..." Huang Chongba retorted loudly, with an excited expression.
"Quiet words, if you are so loyal and patriotic, so righteous, why didn't you oppose this dog official before? Why didn't you report his behavior to the court before? You said this in front of me because you were afraid of death, right? Okay,
I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so prepare to die." Ma Hanshan turned around with his hands behind his back and said to A Niu, "Prepare a table of food and wine for him, let him eat and go on the road."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Heaven and earth...why is this..." Huang Chongba burst into tears suddenly.
"Why are you crying? Afraid of death?" Ma Hanshan asked reflexively.
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm crying for the heroes of Wagang Village. They set up a bullshit village leader like you who doesn't know the difference between good and bad. Soon they followed me. It's not worth it for them. They are guards.
Hero, I am praising the hero..." Huang Chongba actually cursed Ma Hanshan.
"Shut up, if you curse me with another word, believe it or not, I will cut out your tongue." Ma Hanshan was not in a hurry, but Aniu stopped.
"Come on, come on, come on, gouge out my eyes too..." Huang Chongba shouted, asking A Niu to gouge out his eyes too, still scolding Ma Hanshan, meaning he had seen the wrong person.
"Okay, then let's cut out his tongue and eyes first and then let him bleed to death." Ma Hanshan turned around again and walked out.
Well, cut out his tongue and eyes to kill him. A Niu was dumbfounded.
Huang Chongba was even more dumbfounded. Damn, how could this happen? He was performing so hard. Why didn't the leader of the village fall for it? That's not how the play was written. Shouldn't he personally untie me at this time and treat me as a guest of honor?
Of course, Huang Chongba was not so righteous and awe-inspiring. Of course he was afraid of death. Who is not afraid of death? But he felt that begging Ma Hanshan not to kill him was not heroic enough, his image was not tall enough, and begging for mercy was too much... So, he acted.
Oh. Well, usually watching too many dramas can be harmful to people, but I didn’t expect that Ma Hanshan didn’t look like the people in the drama at all.
Haha, when it comes to acting, how can he act better than Ma Hanshan? Ma Hanshan threatened him just to make him beg for mercy so that he could order him to work. Who would have thought that this kid would actually act like him.
Therefore, Ma Hanshan had no choice but to continue acting.
Annoying, this is a good undercover agent. If he doesn’t beg for mercy, how can he find a way out? If there is no way out, what should we do with this person?
Ma Hanshan was worried when he suddenly heard the voice of "Mazhai spare his life" coming from behind him.
Haha, I am still afraid of death after all.
As a demo, if you act with me, you will kill yourself.
"What?" Ma Hanshan only responded with one word, but did not stop.
"Mazhai Master, please spare me...I...I don't want to die." Huang Chongba said softly.
"Give me a reason." Ma Hanshan finally stopped.
That's right, you give me a reason to ask others to spare you. One moment you regard death as home, and the next moment you stop playing, and they all listen to you alone? Who are you, and whose home field is this now?
But, what reasons can make others spare oneself?
"I want to join Wagang Village." Huang Chongba couldn't think of any reason. After holding it back for a moment, he could only say this one, which sounded pretty good.
"Haha, my Wagang Village, do you think anyone can join if they want to join? First, you must have a clean financial background. You have been a government servant, or you have been an evil official who helped the tyrants perpetrate evil. Do you think your financial status is clean? Second, you must have a certain skill.
, what expertise do you have?" Ma Hanshan turned his head and smiled contemptuously.
"I...I..." Huang Chongba suddenly realized that he really didn't have any expertise, and he had actually done a lot of evil things. Although it was Ge Guangpei's instigation, it was undeniable that he also had his own greed.
Ingredients included.
What should I do...What should I do? I don’t want to die, I can’t die...
Huang Chongba is really scared. No one is not afraid of death, let alone people like him.
"I...I can help you find out the news..." Huang Chongba found another reason.
Ma Hanshan shook his head and said: "No one in my village knows how to inquire about information. Besides, we are not thieves or rebels. We need to inquire about information."
"No, you need to find out the information. Otherwise, you won't know what others are planning. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Moreover, there are some information that they cannot find out, but I can." Huang Zhong
Eight finally thought of his "expertise"
The "expertise" he thought of was to be an undercover agent... In this era, it should be said that he was a spy, or a spy.
Haha, being an undercover is good, great, I just like people who are undercover. Ma Hanshan was overjoyed, he just wanted Huang Zhongba to be an undercover, but he had to let Huang Zhongba say this himself.
Hehe, in my last life, I was accused of being an undercover agent. In this life, it is my turn to accuse others of being an undercover agent. It feels good to be able to enjoy the feeling of being in control of an undercover agent.
"You mean, you want to be my undercover?" Ma Hanshan finally turned around, feeling so happy that the first undercover was born.
"What is an undercover agent? What I mean is that I can be a spy in Wagang Village. You can know everything about the county or the state." Huang Chongba said with a blush, "I am still in the county or in the state."
If you have some connections, I guarantee that no news about Wagonzhai will be missed."
"This is a good reason, but why should I trust you? What if you bite me back after you go back? Or what if you become a double agent?" Ma Hanshan seemed very tempted, but also worried.
"Absolutely not...I...I can swear..." Huang Chongba really didn't have this intention. He was already chilled by Ge Guangpei's cold-bloodedness.
But this is his own idea, and his own ideas cannot win the trust of others.
"If the oath is useful, why use supervision..." In fact, Ma Hanshan still has a high degree of trust in the oaths of this world. However, he wants to force Huang Chongba to hand over more things that he trusts.
"I...I handed over my...my son to Wazhai as a hostage..." It was a very fashionable practice in ancient times to hand over one's son to an opponent or other country as a hostage.
"How old is your son?" Ma Hanshan thought this was a good idea.
"The eldest man is ten years old and the second man is eight years old." Huang Chongba paused and said, "How about I send my wife, children and mother to the village? You just need to give them a place to live. Their daily life
, I’ll pay for it.”
"Wouldn't Ge Guangpei become suspicious if we do this?" Ma Hanshan thought this was a good idea.
"He didn't know where my wife and children were to begin with..." Huang Chongba was very happy. He finally found a way to reassure the leader of Ma Dazhao, and he finally didn't have to die.
