A knife in love

Chapter 1420

Seeing Hou Laowai gritted his teeth, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that this person is so slippery, obviously he handed over the key by himself, but he came up with such a set of excuses, if he hadn't hid in the tree by himself, the Seeing the situation in his eyes, I'm afraid he was really confused.

I only heard Hou Laowai say: "At that time, the villain was afraid that Xu Jiye and others would go and return, so why would he dare to stay? He was struggling and just wanted to escape. It's just that the villain was seriously injured and his head was dizzy. It was extremely dark again, and I couldn't tell the east, west, north, and south at all, so I didn't know where I fled. Later, when I woke up, I found that I was saved by the elder. The life of the villain was saved by the elder. There will be a lot of rewards. Xu Jiye, a bastard who wants to rebel, as long as the villain reports their conspiracy to the Ma Zhuangzhu, it will be a great achievement, and the Ma Zhuangzhu will definitely reward him heavily. Give it all to the old man."

Hearing this, Li Qiufeng sneered, and said in his mouth: "Give it all to me? Who said that they would give me six taels of silver as a reward, but in the end they only gave me one tael, and later they even wanted to take it back." Hmph, do you really think I'm a child?"

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Hou Laowai immediately showed embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "Adults don't count the faults of villains. It was villains who were confused for a while and offended the elders. Please forgive me. But reward Regarding the matter of gold, the villain will never dare to lie to the elder..."

When Hou Laowai said this, something suddenly came to his mind. He thought to himself that when he first met this kid, he was submissive, no matter how he looked, he looked like a rascal who had never seen the world.But later in front of the Majiazhuang gate, he made a sudden attack and even captured himself and Lao Chen in the siege of the Zhuangding. This ability is unparalleled in Majiazhuang.There must be another purpose for this person to be so pretentious.These days, the whereabouts of the owner of Majiazhuang are strange, and he often says that someone is planning to attack Majiazhuang.And I heard that those green forest thieves in Daxue Mountain have a growing appetite, and the amount of money they have asked for from the owner of the horse owner has more than doubled this year.Could it be that this kid is the person sent by the thieves to Dongliao County to monitor Majiazhuang?He pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, so he's been thinking about Majiazhuang for a long time?

Thinking of this, Hou Laowai's heart immediately raised his throat, he couldn't help but glanced at Li Qiufeng, smiled and didn't continue.

Li Qiufeng saw that Hou Laowai's face was changing, but he also guessed what was on his mind, so he sneered, and said in his mouth: "My surname is Hou, I know what you are thinking. I might as well tell you the truth. Yes, These days I wandered outside Majiazhuang, and I accidentally saved your life. Someone wanted to do business in Dongliao County, but they didn’t know how deep the water was, so they paid me to come here to have a look. Road. After I arrived in Dongliao County, I heard that the richest and most powerful people here are the owner of Wang Village in Wangjiazhuang and the owner of Mazhuang in Majiazhuang, so I walked outside these two villages from time to time. Unexpectedly, you Majiazhuang are really capable people, and you actually found me haunting Majiazhuang, hehe."

Hou Laowai heard what Li Qiufeng said, although he was still a little skeptical, he was relieved.He said angrily: "My lord, I'm afraid you're wrong. That bastard Xu Jiye said that someone outside the village was spying on him. In all likelihood, it was a lie he deliberately used to trick me. I guess this bastard is really I don't know that the old man is hiding outside Zhuangzi. By the way, old man, what kind of business do you do?"

Seeing that Hou Laowai was still testing himself, Li Qiufeng thought to himself that he had to get rid of the lie so that Hou Laowai would no longer be suspicious, and told the truth about the situation in Majiazhuang.So he pondered for a while, and then said: "Anyway, I'm just scouting the way for someone, so I don't need to hide it from you. My boss is from Liaoyang Prefecture, and they are in the brick and tile business. Someone came here a few days ago. The Liaoyang government purchased bricks and tiles, saying that Dongliao County was going to build a large temple. The bricks and tiles purchased this time were extremely large, and the total amount was 4000 taels in silver. The owner has never done business with customers from Dongliao County, so much money He had to be very cautious about buying and selling, so he asked me to come to Dongliao County secretly, not only to see if the building of the temple was true, but also to check what kind of characters the noble gentry in Dongliao County were. You can’t join forces to do some big business.”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he glanced at Hou Laowai intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that he looked thoughtful, and then continued: "Hou, you are just a small character in Majiazhuang. It's better not to know."

Hou Laowai nodded again and again, and said in his mouth: "Yes, the old man is right. The villain is just a dog of the owner of the horse farm. These big deals have nothing to do with the villain. Let's talk about Xu Jiye, the bastard. People don't know if he found the sign of the old man, but he lured the villain into the woods just to get the key, and forced the villain to tell where the silver cave is."

Li Qiufeng said: "You said that Xu Jiye is a person with a foreign surname who was only accepted by Majiazhuang a few years ago. What kind of ability does he have that dare to take the idea of ​​Mazhuang owner Yinku?"

Hou Laowai gritted his teeth and said: "To be honest, my lord, if the villain hadn't been stabbed by this bastard today, there are some things that the villain really can't figure out. But the knife was not in vain, it woke the villain up. The reason why Xu Jiye is so desperate is that he wants to support Ma Sanbiao as the leader, and he wants to be the big housekeeper of Majiazhuang!"

Li Qiufeng pretended to be puzzled on purpose, and said, "Who is Ma Sanbiao?"

Hou Lao said: "It's a villain who doesn't distinguish between seriousness and seriousness, which makes the old man a little confused. Ma Sanbiao is the third son of the owner of the Ma Zhuang, named Ma Biao, and he is the most capable of fighting among the five sons of the Ma Zhuang. Because he was desperate in fights, the people called him Ma Sanbiao. Six or seven years ago, when the owner of the horse was out doing business, he met a thieves. There were no bones left. Ma Biao fought desperately and killed more than a dozen thieves with his own hands, and then rescued the owner of the Ma Zhuang. I heard that the owner of the Ma Zhuang promised at that time that after his death, he would let Ma Biao succeed him. Be the owner of Majiazhuang.

"Ma Biao was ecstatic when he got the promise from the owner of the Ma village. He only waited for the death of the owner of the Ma village, and he could become the head of the Ma family. However, things changed later. His plan is likely to be Nine will fail. This is because the owner of Ma Zhuang also has an eldest son named Ma Wen. Teach him to read and write. It's just that after Ma Wen was selected as a scholar, he didn't even pass the exam for more than ten years. Now that Ma Wen is in his 30s, it seems that he will never be able to pass the exam in this life. There was nothing he could do about it. Ma Wen saw that his official career was hopeless, so he wanted to be the owner of Majiazhuang. He is a person who has read a lot of books and knows how to play tricks. Naturally, Ma Biao is not his opponent. In recent years, Mazhuang The master entrusted Ma Wen with all the major affairs in the village, which obviously alienated Ma Biao. Naturally, Ma Biao was unwilling to be reconciled, so he gathered forces secretly, intending to kill Ma Wen immediately after the death of Ma Zhuangzi, and become the Ma family himself. The owner of the village."
