When Wan Boping went out, Murong Feiyan came back, she didn't find any news on the Yamen's side, it seems that no one else knew about the battle last night, looking at Wan Boping's carriage and horses leaving, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and whispered: "What is he going to do?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "I'm in trouble again."
So he told her the purpose of Wan Boping's coming.
After hearing this, Murong Feiyan raised his eyebrows and said: "There seems to be something wrong with this matter, shouldn't those horse thieves deliberately set a trap to retaliate against you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yan Boguang has just undergone surgery, and now his life and death are uncertain, they shouldn't dare to risk his life."
He slowly shook his head and said, "I just don't know why they chose to meet in Heishi Village."
The most direct way to get the answer is to ask Hu Jinniu, the family.
Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan came to the firewood room, and before they walked through the door, they heard the sound of snoring that shook the sky, and Hu Jinniu slept sweetly.
Hu Xiaotian walked in and kicked this meaty ass, Hu Jinniu was reminded by his kick, opened his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth wide and yawned: "My family, do you want to let me go?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "As long as you are obedient, I will naturally let you go."
Those brothers of yours have kidnapped the young master of the Wan family. ” When Hu Jinniu heard the news, he was surprised and delighted: "Truly, I said, you had better let me go obediently, otherwise those brothers on my mountain will never let you go." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that they have nothing to do with you arresting the young master of the Wan family, and there is no mention of you in this letter."
Hu Xiaotian asked Murong Feiyan to help Hu Jinniu untie the acupoint, and handed him the letter that Wan Boping brought, Hu Jinniu took it, but saw that the letter did not mention his name from beginning to end.
He recognized the handwriting, it should have been written by the third brother, after reading this letter, Hu Jinniu was really depressed to the extreme, he couldn't imagine that he had no place in the hearts of others, and he didn't mention the matter of saving himself even to his brothers, obviously leaving him to fend for himself.
No one cares about his life or death.
Everyone is only concerned about the safety of the young owner Yan Boguang, and to put it bluntly, they are concerned about their own life and death.
Hu Xiaotian is good at observing words and feelings, and from Hu Jinniu's depressed expression, he has already guessed what he is thinking at this time, and deliberately sighed and said: "This family, I really feel worthless for you, you forgot your life and death for this young owner, and donated so much blood to him, in the end, no one in your so-called brothers paid attention to your life or death."
If you die, I don't think there will be anyone to take care of your family. ” Although Hu Jinniu understood that Hu Xiaotian was deliberately stimulating himself.
But I have to admit that what Hu Xiaotian said was all the truth.
Hu Xiaotian said: "People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, this family, I think you still don't expect someone to save you, only you can save yourself." ” Murong Feiyan listened to it, and secretly sighed in his heart, this Hu Xiaotian's eloquence is really too powerful, he is always able to grasp the psychological weaknesses of others. gave a fatal blow at the critical moment, although Hu Jinniu had some cunning of small people. and is he an opponent of this great wicked man?
For Hu Xiaotian and Murong Feiyan, they will always unconsciously use derogatory terms to describe them, whether they are on the same camp or not.
Hu Jinniu sighed and said, "Brothers are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's husband and wife, it's not brothers who fly separately when disaster comes, we are also our own family, although I am an official."
You are a thief, but I think that we are in the same line, and we all have an ancestor, and I can't bear to be too ruthless with you, if I send you to the government.
For your crimes, you will inevitably be beheaded. ” Hu Jinniu raised his head and looked at Hu Xiaotian, his eyes couldn't help but show a little hope, indeed Hu Xiaotian has not sent him to the government so far, it seems that he is really merciful to his subordinates, he will be suspicious: "You mean, you want to let me go" Hu Xiaotian said: "It depends on how you do it, if you are honest with me, I will naturally show mercy to your subordinates, I just pretend that what happened last night never happened, and I can even pretend that I have never seen you, what do you think" The letter just now had completely destroyed Hu Jinniu's hopes, he knew that it was impossible to count on the brothers of Tianluo Mountain to save him, Hu Xiaotian was right, and the only way to save himself was to save himself.
He whispered, "What do you want to know?"
"Why did they choose Blackstone Village, what is the connection between Tianluo Mountain and Blackstone Village?"
Hu Jinniu said: "There is a famous Miao doctor in Heishi Village, it seems that the surname is Meng, originally our first choice was to send the Shaodong family to him for help, but unfortunately the Meng doctor went to the mountains to collect medicine and did not return, and then we heard that the Xichuan doctor Zhou Wenju was a guest in Wanjia, so we moved to kidnap him to come to the Shaodong family to see a doctor, who would have thought that this Xichuan doctor was a fake and a big parallel goods. ” Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder, Zhou Wenju is not a parallel import, but he is lacking in surgery, even if he finds the final result of the Miao doctor surnamed Meng, he will also be helpless.
Hu Jinniu said: "We saw that the young master's condition did not improve, so we threatened to kill Zhou Wenju, he was tough, but his medicine servant had no backbone, and we scared you to recruit you, so we thought of that way to invite you to treat the young master's family." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What is your connection with the Black Miao people?"
Hu Jinniu shook his head, and said with a confused face: "There is no connection, it seems that the owner of Heishi Village has had some unhappiness with our host, by the way, the third lady of my family often goes there, it seems that there are friends, and I don't know about the rest." ” Murong Feiyan knew that Hu Xiaotian had already decided to go to Heishi Village, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so carefully.
After interrogating Hu Jinniu, Hu Xiaotian asked Liang Dazhuang to call Liu Kuohai, Liu Kuohai is a local of Qingyun and is very familiar with the surrounding situation, and there is another reason, Liu Kuohai's martial arts are good, and if he encounters any trouble, he will have one more helper to protect himself.
After Liang Dazhuang left, Murong Fei said: "You have decided" Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "If you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, if I don't go on this trip, they will definitely give birth to new tricks." ” Murong Fei said: "That lewd thief is innocent of death, let him fend for himself." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Death is not terrible, for many people, death is a relief, and the most painful thing in the world is that life is better than death."
Thinking of what he had done on Yan Boguang, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud, and he laughed and said: "Now is not the time to make a feud with Heavenly Wolf Mountain, if Yan Boguang is really dead, we won't be able to untie the beam that these horse thieves took over." ” Murong Fei said: "Even if Liu Kuohai is added, the three of us will go deep into the Black Stone Village, and we will be alone, if there is any change, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not to fight, what are so many people doing 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, it is the Black Stone Village, the territory of the Black Miao people, and they dare not act rashly. ” Murong Fei said: "Why don't you notify the government?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The officials of the county government are not credible at all, if this matter reaches their ears, I know that they will not fall into the well and frame me for colluding with the horse bandits in Tianluo Mountain."
"Will they set up an ambush in the Black Stone Village, just waiting for us to enter the urn?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No, the news of Yan Boguang's injury should not have reached Tianluo Mountain, the reason why Hu Jinshan and the others stayed in Qingyun for medical treatment should have made two preparations, if they can save Yan Boguang, then they dare to return to Tianluo Mountain, if Yan Boguang unfortunately dies, I think they will flee now, and they will never dare to return to Tianluo Mountain, otherwise they will only die for them." ” Murong Feiyan nodded slowly, Hu Xiaotian's analysis was indeed very reasonable.
She whispered, "I'll go with you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I knew that you would." ” Murong Fei said: "Don't think that you know me very well, if you really encounter danger, I will definitely leave you behind without hesitation." ” "Are you willing" The smile on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips was intriguing.
Murong Feiyan suddenly felt a burst of heat on his pretty face, lowered his long black eyelashes, and whispered, "When will you go?"
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's martial arts were sparse, if he really fought, not only would it not help, but it would become a burden, and secondly, he also needed someone to take care of him, Hu Xiaotian specially explained, if he did not come back today, let him immediately go to the county government to report the case, and contact the officers and soldiers to go to Heishizhai to support, of course, this possibility is very small, Hu Xiaotian does not think that this group of bandits will ignore Yan Boguang's life and death, and dare to design revenge on himself.
Murong Feiyan had taught Hu Xiaotian more than once that he was full of wisdom, but this time he saw his superhuman courage, even she herself had to think twice about this trip to Black Stone Village, but Hu Xiaotian decided to go without any hesitation, which not only requires wisdom, but also extraordinary courage.
The three of them set off at the right time, after going out of the city all the way to the west, Liu Kuohai is a native of Qingyun, and is extremely familiar with the local customs, through his introduction, Heishi Village is a Miao village where the most Black Miao people live near Qingyun, with a total of more than 500 households.
Although Heishizhai is only fifteen miles away from Qingyun County, it has always maintained a unique Heimiao culture, strictly abiding by the principle of not intermarrying with the Han people, and rarely has contact with the Han people in the city in addition to business transactions in daily life.
Liu Kuohai lived to be nineteen years old, and he only went to Heishi Village twice, both times when he accompanied his father there to seek advice.
It can be said that letting Liu Kuohai go with him is really the right person, and the only one he knows in Heishi Village is that Doctor Meng.
