Liu Rumei's eyes became cold, "Zhao Laoer is not usually like this. Today, Chen Xiaobei even showed his cards, but he still sent him away. This is obviously intentional."
"But what is his purpose for doing this?" Butler Liu was a little confused.
"It's very simple. He should know that Chen Xiaobei is Zhao Laoer of Hetou Village. Maybe he thinks that Chen Xiaobei is here to provide me with some information."
Butler Liu nodded, "Okay, I'll make arrangements."
Liu Rumei nodded, turned around and entered her room.
Butler Liu waved and called the two of them over, and said in a low voice, "You two go to the door and guard, and ask Mr. Zhao to come to my room."
After speaking, Butler Liu also returned to his room.
When he got to the room, Butler Liu took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured some white powder into the teapot cup, poured tea in and shook it slightly, then placed it across the table.
Then he poured another glass and put it in his hand.
Soon there was a knock on the door outside, and Butler Liu replied, "Please come in."
Squeak, the door was pushed open, Zhao Laoer walked in with a smile on his face, and gave Butler Liu a fist.
"Butler Liu, are you looking for me?"
Butler Liu smiled and waved, "Brother Zhao, sit down."
"Come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat. It's too hot today."
Zhao Laoer didn't have any precautions. He picked up the tea and drank it in two sips.
Seeing him drink the tea, the smile on Butler Liu's face suddenly disappeared.
"How did the news about Liu Tie's injury reach the capital? How did the master know about it? I would like to hear Brother Zhao's opinion?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laoer's eyes flashed with panic.
But it only passed by in a flash. He shook his head slightly embarrassed, "I don't know about this. Maybe someone leaked the news."
"Yes, Liu Tie is one of the top experts in our Liu family. I will definitely feel sorry for him if he is injured."
"Besides, if this news is known to the other party, it may be detrimental to the lady."
At this time, Zhao Laoer's back began to sweat slightly.
"Butler Liu, you, why are you telling me this?"
Butler Liu looked at him with a faint smile, "Don't you still know what you are doing?"
Zhao Laoer suddenly stood up, "You doubt me..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Laoer felt that the world was spinning before his eyes and he could no longer stand steadily.
"Liu Ce, you're cheating on me."
After saying that, he fell to the ground with a bang and fell unconscious.
Butler Liu shouted to the outside, someone is coming.
Soon, two men in Tsing Yi pushed open the door and entered.
"Put Mr. Zhao in the dungeon and wait for the young lady to be punished."
…
At this time, Chen Xiaobei bought a lot of steamed buns and drove Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaobo to Centipede Ridge in a donkey cart.
This pile of steamed buns was used to bribe Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaobo.
While eating the meat buns, Chen Xiaobo still felt uneasy, "Brother, I think we should report it to the government and let the government take action."
It's not that Chen Xiaobei has never thought about it, but he is worried that in that case, the safety of Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer will be endangered by the black dog jumping over the wall.
It takes more than forty miles to go from the county seat to Centipede Ridge, and it takes noon for this journey.
Although it is called Centipede Ridge, it is a continuous mountain range, but the mountain is not too high.
The mountain is not high, but it is rugged and difficult to walk, and many places are narrow paths, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, it was spotted by Da Laohei and used to build a mountain village.
There were still two miles away from the foot of the mountain, so Chen Xiaobo hurriedly reined in the donkey cart.
"Brother, you can't go in any further. If you go in any further..."
Chen Xiaobei understood what he meant and agreed with them along the way that if he went into the mountains and there was no news by nightfall, they could leave on their own.
Chen Xiaobei jumped off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and strode towards Centipede Ridge.
Standing at the foot of Centipede Ridge, he put his hands in front of his mouth like a trumpet and shouted loudly towards the mountain.
"People on the mountain, listen. My name is Chen Xiaobei. I want to see Big Lao Hei."
After shouting several times, there was a response from the mountain. From behind a big rock, two heads popped out and looked down. Someone shouted at him, "What are you doing here?"
It would be nice if someone responded. Chen Xiaobei said loudly, "Let Da Laohei send Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer down."
"Just stand there and don't move. If you go any further, we'll open our bows and fire arrows."
Then the two heads retracted again.
In the village, Da Laohei was drinking with everyone. These bandits had nothing serious to do on weekdays, so they drank at noon and at night.
Qing Lan came and said that Chen Xiaobei was here, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"Don't tell me that this kid is really brave. He dares to break into Centipede Ridge by himself."
A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks next to him smiled at him and said, "Master of the village, you are drinking here, take me down and kill that kid with a knife, and this Cui Hongyu will become your wife of the village."
Before he finished speaking, a young man next to him said, "Hou Laoliu, what are you thinking about? Cui Hongyu has killed three men, and I think Chen Xiaobei will be the fourth soon."
Hou Laoliu was choked by this and became speechless, and he laughed twice awkwardly.
"Yes, yes, brother Xiong Fei is right, the master of the stronghold, why don't we just let him go, so as not to leave this disaster star in the stronghold."
At this time, the man who was sitting next to him stopped and said, "Hou Laoliu, I worked so hard to snatch this person away, and you let him go just as you said?"
"Cui Hongyu can't be Mrs. Yazhai, but she might as well stay in the mountain and let the brothers have fun. It's better than going to the county to visit Baihua Tower!"
Those words made everyone laugh wildly again.
Da Laohei had a sullen face, thought for a moment, and put down the wine glass.
He turned to look at Xiong Fei, "Xiong Fei, go down and tell Chen Xiaobei clearly that he wants his wife and sister. It's very simple. Help me get Yang Dazhi and Ding Laosan from the county government office."
If you fish them out, I will release them."
Xiong Fei was very unwilling, after all, it was so nice to drink here.
But he did not dare to go against Da Laohei's wishes, so he stood up and clasped his fists, "Dazhai Master, brothers, you eat and drink here, I will come as soon as I can."
Chen Xiaobei was waiting impatiently under the shade of a tree when he heard a commotion on the mountain.
Then I saw Xiong Fei and walked out with two minions.
Still two feet away from Chen Xiaobei, Xiong Fei stopped.
"Chen Xiaobei, I guess you have some talent, you dare to come to Centipede Ridge alone."
Chen Xiaobei said loudly with no expression on his face, "I'm here to ask for someone from Da Laohei, who are you?"
Xiong Fei laughed, "It doesn't matter who I am, but you just come to ask for someone with such empty teeth, do you think we can give it to you?"
Chen Xiaobei naturally understood that he was here to negotiate terms with him, "Tell me, what do you want?"
