A knife in love

Chapter 1413

Li Qiufeng hid in the tree and eavesdropped on Xu Jiye and Hou Laowai's conversation.The more he listened, the more frightened he became, but he was a little puzzled, thinking that Xu Jiye's words were so strange.Listening to him talking with Hou Laowai, this person is just a Zhuang Ding in Majiazhuang, his status in Zhuangzi is not high, and he is definitely not a person who can read and write.But when he speaks, he is very polite, as if he is holding a book and reading it.What "the target of public criticism" and "there are no eggs in the nest", in any case, it is impossible for a person like him to say it.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard Hou Laowai hesitantly say: "Old Xu, what do you mean by 'how can there be any eggs in a full nest'?"

Xu Jiye smiled and said: "It means that there are seven members of your family, and no one can escape. How about Lao Hou, do it with us?!"

Hou Laowai didn't answer for a long time, and then several people spoke again.Some persuaded with soft words, while others threatened with words, all wanting Hou Laowai to tell where the Majiazhuang Silver Cave is located.After a while, I only heard Xu Jiye say: "Old Hou, you are a shrewd person, and you must think carefully before doing things. You don't speak because you don't know whether we can kill the Ma and Hou. This is a human I don’t blame you. As long as you tell us where the Silver Cave is, and then give us the key to engrave it again, we will act as if today’s events never happened, and you will continue to be a filial son and grandson of your Hou family. We If our affairs are completed, we will keep your family of seven safe. If our affairs cannot be completed, we will not tell you. Regardless of whether our affairs are successful or not, we will give you 300 taels of silver. Lao Hou, what do you want? How about next?"

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, these people just want to know where the Silver Cave is.This matter is related to everyone's wealth and lives, even if Hou Laowai told the truth, Xu Jiye would still kill people to silence them, so he must die.If Hou Laowai had been a little smarter, he would never have revealed the location of the Silver Cave.

After Xu Jiye finished speaking, after a while, Hou Laowai said in a trembling voice: "Although I am in charge of the keys of the silver cave, to open the gate of the silver cave, five keys must be inserted into the five lock holes on the gate at the same time. Only in this way can the gate of the Silver Cave be opened. Even if I give you the keys, there are still four keys missing, which are of no use at all."

Before Hou Laowai could finish his sentence, Xu Jiye laughed out loud, and the others also laughed.After a while, Xu Jiye's laughter stopped suddenly, and he said, "Old Hou, what do you think this is?!"

Li Qiufeng hid in the tree, heard a few "crash clacks", and then Hou Laowai screamed in surprise, and said in his mouth: "You, where did you get this?!"

Xu Jiye said with a smug smile: "Old Hou, are you still in the dark? To be honest, we have already got the other four keys."

Hou Laowai said tremblingly: "This, how is this possible... Ma Sanbiao is the son of the owner of the Ma Zhuang. He, how could he be willing to betray his father and go with you..."

Xu Jiye didn't wait for Hou Laowai to finish, he sneered, and said: "Who is Ma Sanbiao? Six years ago, the owner of Ma Zhuang was besieged by Qin Laoyao in Heifengkou, and he was about to die by the enemy's knife. It was Ma Sanbiao who risked his life to rescue him, otherwise, how could Majiazhuang be today? In terms of credit and ability, Ma Sanbiao should be the young owner of Majiazhuang. It is a pity that his wife was born as a maid. He is not the legitimate son of Zhuangzhu Ma, so he can only watch his brother do his best in the Zhuangzi. Right now, his situation is somewhat similar to that of your brother, he is a dispensable idler in their respective families. Zhuangzhu Ma is now He was still alive, but his brother didn't dare to do anything to him. As long as the owner of Ma Zhuang kicked his leg, his brother would be the first to kill him. Ma Sanbiao is a smart person, so he naturally knows the pros and cons. To be honest, he will He is the leader of us people. After killing the owner of Ma Sanbiao, Ma Sanbiao will be the owner of the owner. With him in the lead, can we accomplish this great event?"

Hou Laowai was silent for a long while, and then said: "So, the keys of Hou Dongming and others were also obtained by Ma Sanbiao and given to you?"

Xu Jiye smiled and said: "You guessed it right. Hou Dongming has already pledged his allegiance to Ma Sanbiao. Lao Hou, if you want to keep your family of seven safe, and you must be able to hang out in Majiazhuang, you can't hesitate any longer. Otherwise, Ma Sanbiao If things are done, Hou Dongming will be the patriarch of your Hou family. At that time, even if you want to gain a foothold in Majiazhuang, it will depend on Hou Dongming's face. In the past few years, your house and Hou Dongming's house Whether the house is good or bad, you know it well. If he gains power, what will happen to your house, don't I need to say more?"

After Xu Jiye finished speaking, Hou Laowai didn't speak for a while.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, no wonder there is an undercurrent in Majiazhuang. It turns out that the Ma and Hou families in the village have taken power, and the Hou family is fighting with each other. The Ma family is not much better.Wangjiazhuang is dominated by the Wang family, so there is a lot of right and wrong.It seems that Wang Zhuangzi and Miss Wang suppressed other families, but it was a last resort.

At this moment, Hou Laowai said: "Okay. If that's the case, I will help you deal with the owner of Ma Zhuang. But you have to swear a poisonous oath, saying that no matter how the matter succeeds or fails, you will not harm him." My family is seven."

Xu Jiye smiled and said: "It's easy to say, just don't worry about it."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a while before continuing: "Everyone kneel down with me and swear to God."

Li Qiufeng heard the sound of clattering under the tree, thinking that Xu Jiye had already led the crowd to kneel down.I only heard Xu Jiye say loudly: "I, Xu Jiye, swear to the heavens that no matter what happens or not, we will keep Hou Laowai's family safe. If we break this oath, we will have a terrible death and we will lose our children and grandchildren!"

After Xu Jiye finished speaking, the rest of them also swore poisonously.In the end, I only heard Xu Jiye say: "Old Hou, should you feel at ease now?"

Only Hou Laowai said: "Okay. The silver cave is under the bed of the owner of the Ma Zhuang, and the mechanism is at the head of the bed of the owner of the Ma Zhuang. Grab the third wooden rail from the left of the bed and shake it five times to open the door under the bed. secret door."

When Hou Laowai said this, he paused.Li Qiufeng heard a "crash", and then Hou Laowai said: "This is the key, you can take it. But you have to remember that the five keys must be inserted into the five keyholes of the silver cave gate at the same time. , otherwise the door cannot be opened."

Xu Jiye smiled and said: "Old Hou, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. If you can make a decisive decision and strike back, you will be rewarded. After the matter is completed, you will be the patriarch of the Hou family."

Just as Xu Jiye finished speaking, Hou Laowai suddenly heard a scream.It's just that the scream was interrupted in an instant, as if someone had covered his mouth.Although Li Qiufeng expected that Xu Jiye was trying to deceive Hou Laowai, he didn't expect that this person would do it suddenly, and he was terrified.After a while, there was only a "plop", as if someone had fallen to the ground.
