Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 142 Chapter 141 Posting a message to stir up trouble
Mao Hetao sent someone to deliver the letter to Ni Shicai.

After receiving the letter, Ni Shicai panicked.

If you ask him what he has done in the past few days, he really did nothing and dared not do anything.

He just felt that the days were getting harder and harder.

Shortly after returning from Fengyu Street that day, Ni Shicai learned the news of Chu Shan's death.

Two days later, the news of Lu Hongxi's murder began to spread again. People on the street said that the crazy tiger was really cruel. He dared to lead his men to break into the upper city district, run to Lu Hongxi's house, drag him out and kill him, and no one in the government office or the church dared to stop him.

Ni Shicai thought to himself, it's over, it's over. He counted on his fingers and realized that among the people who had caused trouble for Feng Xiuhu that day, wasn't he the only one left?

If you ask him whether he still wants to avenge his son, Ni Shicai really wants to, but he also really doesn't dare.

It is true that Ni Zhiwen is his son, but he is also a legitimate disciple of the temple. The temple wanted to take revenge, but ended up with a large number of people dying - who is Ni Shicai, so how dare he even have such an idea?
Ni Shicai received the letter with a nervous mood.

The first thought that came to his mind when he received the letter was: This crazy tiger is still not going to let me go.

Instead, I felt a little relieved.

After opening the letter and taking a closer look, Ni Shicai realized that it was a "declaration of war" from Mao Hetao.

But he couldn't figure out for the time being whether Mao Hetao was anxious to show his loyalty to Feng Xiuhu, who had been promoted to a priest, or whether his behavior was instructed by Feng Xiuhu.

If it was the former, he could deal with it casually, deliberately lose and then give in, just to give Feng Xiuhu face; but if it was the latter, Ni Shicai would have to think carefully - is Mao Hetao coming to take his life?

He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask someone to help him make the decision.

So Ni Shicai turned around and went to visit the temple.

After giving some money for entering the gate and reporting to several deacons, Ni Shicai finally met Xi Wusheng.

Without waiting for a word, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xi Wusheng several times.

"Greetings to Xi Gaogong, I, Ni Shicai, have the honor of being the tax collector of the temple."

Xi Wusheng only knew that there was such a person, but they had never met.

He raised his fingertips lightly: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Ni Shicai kowtowed a few more times and said, "Please, Master Xi, save me. This mad beast has been promoted to a priest and is now the master of the church. He wants to use the old grudge to take my life."

"Feng Xiuhu?"

Xi Wusheng suddenly became alert - he finally waited for Feng Xiuhu to move.

He sat up straight and urged, "Tell me in detail."

Ni Shicai took out the envelope and presented it with both hands: "Mr. Xi Gao, please take a look."

He said, "Crazy Big Tiger is the most vindictive. This time he sent Hairy Walnut to stir up trouble, and he certainly doesn't intend to let the villain go."

Xi Wusheng finished reading the letter, his eyes filled with confusion. "This is a post from Mao Hetao, and there's no mention of Feng Xiuhu in the letter. What makes you think it's related to Crazy Tiger?"

Ni Shicai looked up in surprise. "Xi Gaogong, you are wise. Without the instructions of the Crazy Tiger, how could Mao Hetao dare to extend his hand into the port area?"

Xi Wusheng's face darkened. "As a priest now, it's only natural for Feng Xiuhu to dispatch the choir. As for whether he instructed Mao Hetao to retaliate against you, judging by what the letter says, he's clearly already gotten rid of the mad bug. So, regardless of whether this is true or not, from the moment you received the letter, it's already been a matter between you and Mao Hetao."

"Feng Xiuhu won't show up at all, yet you shamelessly come to the temple to ask for help. If I really send a disciple to help you, wouldn't it be obvious that my temple is afraid of that crazy beast?"

Ni Shicai panicked, "Xi Gaogong, you can't just ignore me! My son died for the temple, and I've also worked diligently for it. No one in my family has ever let the temple down. If I die at the hands of a mad monster, who will dare to be a tax collector in the port area in the future?"

"shut up!"

Xi Wusheng scolded, "Fool, don't you understand? If Feng Xiuhu really wanted to kill you, he wouldn't have sent Mao Hetao to tell us in advance—this move appears to be for you, but it's actually aimed at the temple." "This is originally a matter between the choir and the tax collector, but you insist on dragging the temple into it. If the temple really intervenes, Feng Xiuhu will have a legitimate reason to send the Divine Guards to confront you. Then not only will you die, but those four streets will also suffer the same fate as Fengyu Street and Bibo Street."

Ni Shicai was devastated and sat on the ground, "That villain...should he die?"

Xi Wusheng sneered, "If we can really get Feng Xiuhu to show up in person, then your life as an old dog will have been of some use, and you'll have died a worthy death."

……

Mao Walnut came that afternoon.

The main reason was that Feng Xiuhu was pushing him too hard - he didn't want to give Ni Shicai a chance to think carefully.

This was the first time the Wrench Gang had been so powerful in the port area.

In the past, there was the Fish Market Gang, and both sides were the territories of the temple and the church respectively, so they kept to themselves.

But today is different.

Led by Mao Hetao, the Wrench Gang rushed into the Stranger Street. They came with great fanfare and attracted many passers-by to watch the fun along the way.

The first to suffer were the street vendors on Shengren Street. As soon as they entered the street, the Wrench Gang began to clear the area. Stalls were overturned here and cages were kicked over there. There was chaos and business was impossible. The vendors dared not say anything and had to pack up and hide aside - waiting to watch the fun.

When everyone arrived at the place, the Wrench Gang surrounded the Xianggu Pavilion.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Mao Hetao stood outside the door and shouted.

"Ni Shicai!"

"Don't be a fucking coward!"

"I sent you the post early this morning. We fought with a legitimate reason!"

"If you don't come out today, I will tear down your Xianggu Pavilion!"

"If you have the guts to come out, let's have everyone here be witnesses and have a fair fight. If you lose, get out of here! These four streets will have nothing to do with the temple anymore."

There was an uproar all around.

Most of them are residents of these four streets, and they say that they have nothing to do with the temple anymore - why didn't anyone inform them of such an important matter?

If they had to choose one, these people would definitely support the Empress more, but if Ni Shicai really lost, would he have to follow the God of Mist in the future?
Then a spectator shouted, "What if he wins?"

Mao Hetao grinned and said, "Then let's continue the fight tomorrow until I win."

Someone muttered inwardly: "Wow, aren't you being a scoundrel?"

Mao Hetao glanced sideways, and immediately someone with a wrench came to help and carried the man out.

Mao Hetao slapped him in the face and said, "You chatterbox, I'm not afraid to tell you, after I drive Ni Shicai away, if anyone in these four streets dares to secretly worship the Goddess of Wind and Rain again, I'll rip out their intestines and strangle them to death."

The crowd fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Mao Hetao looked around, seemingly trying to intimidate people with his gaze, but in fact he was observing carefully to see if there were any monks from the temple mingling among them.

Although Mao Hetao looks aggressive, he also values ​​his life.

What he didn't know was that -

At this moment, Feng Xiuhu was also hiding in the crowd.

PS: The knife that Vadlacho showed was about to stab someone, and Wan Laiqiu was waiting for this moment - but the knife was ultimately held in someone else's hands, and Feng Xiuhu had to find a way to break free.
