Zhu Kui did not dare to directly tell the purpose of his trip. Han Cheng had been the second master of Gaojiazhai for many years. There must be many confidants among the water bandits, so it was better to be careful.
"You can leave. The boss has gone to war and is not at the village. You can come back another day."
When the two doormen saw that Zhu Kui was well-dressed and well-dressed even though he was young, they thought he was really some friend Kaohsiung had met outside, and their tone was not bad.
When Zhu Kui heard "not there", he secretly thought that it was bad. Could it be that Han Cheng had already started to take action? Now things were a bit tricky. He asked casually: "Can the two brothers tell you where the boss has gone, so that the boy can go find it?"
He, actually, I have something important to ask your boss for help, and your boss has promised me this a long time ago."
After saying that, he casually touched a bag of copper coins into his sleeve and handed it over, "It's a small thing but not a sign of respect."
The water bandit who took over weighed the weight, his smile suddenly became much brighter, and he said: "Since the little brother is so polite, I will tell you that the big boss has gone..."
Before he finished speaking, an evil voice suddenly came from inside the village gate.
"Some friend of the first master is here, and he asked me, the second master, to entertain him well."
The speaker was a man in his forties, with a square face, wearing a blue suit, and the skin on his hands was very rough. He was obviously not a wealthy person.
At this moment, two deeply sunken eyes were staring at Zhu Kui, which made people feel cold and hairy. He just heard someone requesting to see Kaohsiung, so he came out of the village gate to take a look.
"I have seen the second master. This young man just claimed to be a friend of the first master and was invited here."
The guard's words revealed that the person coming was Han Cheng, whom Zhu Kui least wanted to see. If he turned around and left immediately, it would be impossible. This would definitely make Han Cheng suspicious.
He said: "The boy is a friend of Master Gao Da. He came to see him at Master Gao Da's invitation a few days ago."
"Oh, I met the headmaster a few days ago. Are you here to pay me a visit today? But that's not right. The headmaster wasn't there some time ago... How did you meet the headmaster?" Han Cheng said, touching his chin.
"About half a month ago, Gao Da, the head of the county town, passed by my house and asked for a night's stay. My father kindly took him in for one night. Before he left, he told me that if you have any difficulties, you can come to Niuzhu Gao's village to find him."
"Today, I have something really good, and I need help from the boss, so I am so shameless."
In a hurry, Zhu Kui had to make up a half-truth and half-false lie.
"Oh, it turns out that the eldest master once stayed at your place. In that case, tell me what difficulties you have, so that I can help the eldest master repay you for this accommodation."
Seeing that Han Cheng wanted to repay Kaohsiung's favor, Zhu Kui had to find reasons to deal with it first and think of a solution later.
"Well... don't be afraid to tell the second master that my mother is seriously ill and urgently needs gold and silver to be sent to the hospital for treatment. Since the first master is not here, I can come back another day."
After saying that, Zhu Kui was about to lead the horse away, but Han Cheng shouted loudly: "Come here, catch this spy quickly. Why is the family poor and unable to treat the disease? What are those yellow horses in hand? That's the case."
Filial piety, why don't you sell the horse to save your mother? It's obviously a fraud."
A group of water bandits with swords or bows rushed up and surrounded Zhu Kui.
When the matter was exposed, Zhu Kui immediately pulled out the dragon scale dagger and held it against him. Thinking that Han Cheng was so smart to see through his lies, he regretted that he was too careless and left a flaw in his words. He thought about what to do. But he saw
A fishing net made of hemp rope came down from the sky. Several water bandits pulled it and trapped him. When he was about to break free, several bright swords were already placed on his neck.
Zhu Kui smiled helplessly. The dragon scale dagger in his hand was taken down before he could make a move. Is this Gao family water bandit too well trained? He is no match for that group of bandits in Beigu Mountain.
, he was captured alive by the other party as soon as he lost consciousness, and his martial arts skills were not able to be used at all...
Seeing that Zhu Kui was easily caught, Han Cheng realized that he was being too careful. He turned around and thought that at this time, he had to be more careful. No matter who this person was, as long as he had something to do with Kaohsiung, he should be locked up first.
"Take him back to the cell and I will interrogate him properly later."
Soon Zhu Kui was confiscated with the dragon scale dagger, his hands were tied, and he was taken away. In fact, he was just a nobody to Han Cheng. He didn't take it to heart. What he was worried about was whether the plan to encircle and annihilate Kaohsiung could succeed. In fact,
At the very beginning, he did not have murderous intentions towards Kaohsiung.
Decades ago, two famous knights came out of the green forest in the south of the Yangtze River. One was called Panlonggun, Hunjianglong Han Cheng, and the other was called Yi Bo Yuntian, Kaohsiung. The two hit it off and became brothers of the opposite sex. Later, they met the imperial court.
Due to corruption, the people were displaced, so they gathered a group of green forest heroes and established Gaojiazhai. They robbed wealthy merchants along the river and used them to subsidize the poor civilians.
But as Gaojiazhai became more and more famous and accumulated more and more wealth, people's hearts began to change and they began to yearn for power. And Han Chengcheng was such a person. He gradually began to be unwilling to give away money to the poor.
He was dissatisfied that Kaohsiung was above him, and this thought became even more intense after the birth of his son Han Che.
Fifteen years ago, Kaohsiung gave birth to a daughter. Han Cheng wanted his daughter to be engaged to his son, but Kaohsiung's wife refused. The brotherhood between the two officially cracked. A few years later, Kaohsiung's wife
After he passed away from illness, Han Cheng once again brought up the matter of getting married. In his opinion, Kaohsiung had no sons. As long as he married his daughter, in the future they would no longer be together, and all the property of Gaojiazhai would belong to his son. This would not harm the two of them.
The feeling of sworn friendship.
But what Han Cheng didn't expect was that Kaohsiung refused again. Now the two brothers began to become strangers. Although Han Cheng did not lead anyone to start a new business, he often did business privately without telling Kaohsiung, which made him gain a lot.
A greedy brother, as the number of brothers who fell in love with him gradually increased, Han Cheng came up with the idea of killing Kaohsiung and replacing him. The last time Kaohsiung was attacked at the dock, it was Han Cheng who planned it, and the rebellious guard was
Han Cheng had already arranged to stay with Kaohsiung.
Unexpectedly, Kaohsiung was not dead. He passed out on the roadside and was rescued by Zhu Kui. This time Kaohsiung came back, something was obviously different. Han Cheng was always worried that Kaohsiung had discovered something and began to doubt himself. Fortunately, he had already found something.
Qinshan is planning to blame everything on Qinjiazhai. The Qinjiazhai was established much longer than the Gaojiazhai. Qinshan’s grandfathers have been committing crimes in the Yangtze River area. It is not right for the two families to fight against each other.
, has always had the heart to annex each other.
Because Kaohsiung did not go to war to investigate after returning to the village, but Han Cheng did not know whether Kaohsiung was investigating him privately. He could not sleep at night for half a month. Finally, he got mad and prepared to murder Kaohsiung again, so he killed Han Cheng again.
Che asked to see Zhao An.
Just now, the men of Cai's son came back and told him that they would stay in Moling for the night. His first thought was that Zhao An was not trusting him and wanted to use his son as a pledge, fearing that he would not keep his promise.
"With Cheer's intelligence, he should be able to handle Zhao An."
Everything went as expected, but Han Cheng still felt a little uneasy, and he didn't understand where the uneasiness came from.
"That's all, it might be better for Che'er to stay with Zhao An. Kaohsiung may have something unexpected going on, so it seems like it's better to go and take charge personally. Wu Feng is a good martial artist, but I'm afraid he'll be careless, so I'd better leave a way out for Che'er.
.”
After Han Cheng left, a girl in purple men's clothing walked out slowly not far away. She saw everything in front of her. She heard him muttering: "That dagger looks familiar."
The prisoners will naturally be taken to cells, and the collected weapons will naturally be put into the warehouse for later use...
The girl in purple glanced at the dragon scale dagger, looked left and right, but was looking for Han Cheng. When she saw that he was walking in another direction, she quickly followed him, caught up to the front, and grabbed the man holding the dragon scale in his hand.
The dagger-stricken water bandits were stopped.
"Stop, where did you get the dagger in your hand?"
The water bandit came to his senses, looked up and saw that it was the girl in purple. He quickly stood up straight, saluted, and answered honestly: "Miss, this dagger was confiscated by a spy just now."
"Spy? What spy?" When the girl in purple heard the voice, she thought for a moment, wondering what Uncle Han was doing? She didn't understand, and then she said in a fierce voice: "This dagger is very beautiful, give it to me."
He reached out and grabbed it without waiting for the water bandit's consent, turned around and left. When the water bandit saw this, he wanted to shout twice, but after thinking that the other party was the eldest lady, he smiled bitterly, ignored it, shook his head and walked away.
The girl in purple took the dragon scale dagger and groped around for a while, seeing the familiar stripes and the familiar texture. She opened her eyes wide and whispered: "It's a dragon scale dagger. It's really a dragon scale dagger, but I didn't give it to that black brother."
Really? How could it be in the hands of this fair-faced boy?"
This person is naturally Shu Shu'er who Zhu Kui rescued in the past. Eight years have passed. She has grown up and her appearance has naturally changed a lot. In the past, when Zhu Kui was a child, he went fishing on a boat. He was exposed to the sun and rain, so he was naturally swarthy.
, I haven’t fished in these years, and when I’m under the roof, my skin color naturally evolves towards a fair face, no wonder she can’t recognize him at all.
The cell in Gaojiazhai was made of soil, and was fixed with tree trunks inside and outside. It was not very strong. Unfortunately, Zhu Kui's hands and feet were tied up at this time and he could not move.
At this time, Zhu Kui heard the slight chatter of the guard coming from outside the cell door, as if he was talking to a woman. After a while, it became quiet again, and then Zhu Kui saw a girl in purple clothes sneaking in. At the same time, he
I smelled a girlish fragrance that was different from the stench of the prison cell.
Before Zhu Kui could recall the smell, the girl came to the cell door and asked in a sweet voice: "Are you the young man who was captured by Uncle Han and claimed to be the boss's friend?"
The person who came was none other than Shu Shu'er, who was dressed in purple men's clothing. Unfortunately, the two of them were strangers to each other now.
Zhu Kui looked at this girl dressed in men's clothing. Her long black hair was tied up in a man's hairpin and inserted with a hairpin. Her face was very delicate, her forehead and temples were even more finely downy, and she had a pair of big bright eyes, full of intelligence and intelligence.
With his lively divine light, and if it weren't for his particularly shrill and delicate voice, judging from his appearance alone, he would be considered a handsome boy even better than Pan An.
Doubtfully thinking about the identity of this girl, Zhu Kui responded solemnly: "Yes, it's me. Let me go quickly. I'm your boss's friend. They say that all the people in Gaojiazhai on the Yangtze River are green forest heroes.
, I never thought that they were all arrogant and unreasonable people, locking people up indiscriminately."
"What evidence do you have to prove that you really know my father?" Shu Shu'er asked.
"Father" Zhu Kui suddenly realized that the girl was Kaohsiung's daughter. No wonder she could go in and out of the cell.
"It turns out it's Miss Gao. I'm sorry!" Zhu Kui nodded in greeting, and then quickly proved: "I have a jade pendant in my chest that was given by your father himself."
