Chapter 25 A big misunderstanding

"Your son is in my hands now, and two thousand gold can be redeemed. The pavilion in the west of the city keeps the gold, and I won't wait for it after two days."

"Huh~" Qian Sancai gently unfolded the paper, dried the ink, and read it twice triumphantly.

"Good poetry, really good poetry."

The more Lao Qian looked at it, the more satisfied he was. He imitated the handwriting of the copybook and copied it several times. After he felt that there were no traces, he carefully folded his masterpiece.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was busy with their own affairs, Lao Qian wandered around looking for candidates.

"Hey! Who is that, the newcomer, his name is Zhang Yong, right? Come here."

"Me?" Zhang Yong pointed to himself.

"It's you, come here if you don't have anything to do, I heard that you are good at lightness kung fu, come and give me something."

Hey, Zhang Yong sighed in his heart and forced a smile to obey the instructions.

After escaping from Ma Jiangtian's grasp, Zhang Yong randomly threw Song Renjie on a tree and hung him up to prevent him from being snatched away by wild beasts. Just now he rushed back to the entrance with a stick, and walked back to his room through the window. , then took off his coat, removed his disguise, and went out of the room as if he had just woken up. He pretended to practice martial arts in the backyard for a while, and was arrested by Qian Sancai.

"You throw the note into the main hall of the Ma Mansion in such a way, and be careful not to be found. Do you understand?"

"Remember to change your clothes. If you get caught, don't say you are from Guishuitang, just say you are from Chengxi Hongwu Association. You are new here, and they won't recognize you."

Don't worry, I'm familiar with this matter, I just threw it away today.Although I really wanted to say that, I could only agree with trepidation on the face.

"Go, it's over, I'll give you 50 taels of silver." Qian Sancai sent Zhang Yong away, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth.

"2000 taels of gold, rich, haha."

The laughter of spring love echoed in Guishui hall.

On the other side, Ma Jiangtian carried Ma Chaohui back home.

"Hui'er, you've been wronged." Ma Jianghe's facial features were twisted into a ball, and his eyes were a little moist.

"It's okay, father, I'm not coming back now." It was the first time Ma Zhaohui saw his father act like this, and his heart felt sore.

"Okay, okay, third brother, Hui'er needs to rest." Ma Jiangtian sighed a little because he really cared about his younger brother.

After handing over Ma Zhaohui to his servants, Ma Jiangtian put two pieces of cloth and a stick on the table.

"Brother, what is this?" Ma Jianghe was a little puzzled.

Ma Jiangtian drank all the tea on the table: "Before I rescued Hui'er, I fought with someone."

"Brother, is he injured?" Ma Jiangtian asked with concern.

"It's okay. That man's boxing skills are superb, but his cultivation is a bit poor. However, that man once said that he was the one who went to save Hui'er."

"Oh? Big brother believes him?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but when I entered the temple, Hui'er was untied. Hui'er also mentioned on the way that before she woke up, she vaguely heard voices and fighting."

"What about the piece of cloth and the stick?"

"The piece of cloth was left by the person who fought with me. That's not the point. The point is the inner layer. This person is wearing Guishuitang's clothes."

"Guishuitang? You mean, Guishuitang saved Hui'er?"

"I'm not sure yet. The man carried his companion on his back while running away with a stick. This person has superb boxing skills, so there's no need to carry a weapon. Presumably the stick belongs to his companion."

"And this one is in the temple, which means there must be another person who used a stick. I remember that there is a painter in your house?"

"I'm going to invite him here."

The painters in the Ma Mansion are also highly skilled. Under Ma Jiangtian's description, they slowly restored two portraits.

Just when the two were looking at the portrait.

"Master! Master!" A servant hurried into the main hall with a note in his hand.

Ma Jiangtian took the note, frowning and opened it cautiously.

"Hmph, 2000 taels of gold is really a big deal." Ma Jiangtian handed the note to Ma Jianghe.

Ma Jianghe glanced casually. Now that his son has returned home, it would be meaningless to have more kidnappers.He led his servants to the painting: "Ah Fu, it's just in time. You are familiar with Liangzhou City. Look at these two portraits. Have you seen these two people?"

"The person on the left fought me, and the one on the right was carried behind his back." Ma Jiangtian added.

Ah Fu carefully identified it, and replied: "Going back to the master, the one on the right is Song Renjie from Guishuitang. The one on the left is a slave with clumsy eyesight, so I really can't recognize it."

"Are these two people really from Guishui Hall?" Ma Jianghe frowned, feeling something strange.

"That shouldn't be wrong. Presumably these two people ran into me when they repelled the kidnappers in the ruined temple, and then left with their injured companions." Ma Jiangtian said firmly.

"But Guishui Hall's reputation is not good, why should we rescue Hui'er?"

"Hehe, third brother, you are confused in business, right? In this rivers and lakes, how can you tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil?"

Ma Jianghe said in relief: "That's right. My Ma family and Guishuitang have never had any conflicts. Maybe the person who kidnapped Hui'er is Guishuitang's enemy, and they just received the news?"

"What gangs do Liangzhou City and Guishuitang not deal with?" Ma Jiangtian asked.

Ma Jianghe thought for a moment: "Except for the local gangs in the south of the city, the Hongwu Society in the west of the city and the Yuejinglou in the east of the city have all had fights with Guishui Hall."

Ma Jiangtian thought for a while, and immediately made a judgment: "Okay, no matter which gang did it, if we try to make friends with Guishuitang, it will always make the murderer behind the scene uncomfortable."

Ma Jianghe nodded in agreement: "They also made an effort to rescue Hui'er, so let's give some money as a gift."

Now that the decision has been made, Ma Jianghe greeted his capable generals, and told him to take a few of his men to the cashier to take out the silver and send it to Guishuitang.

Guishuitang's eyeliner hurried back to the entrance of the hall: "It's not good, people from Mafu are here?"

"Oops, has it been exposed?" Qian Sancai secretly said something bad: "Hurry up and inform the hall master, brothers, copy the guy!"

The entire Guishui Hall immediately went on alert, and after a while, Ling Feiyan also came to the front yard with a frown.Zhang Yong quietly huddled aside, wondering if something went wrong.

As soon as everyone in the Ma Mansion entered the gate, they immediately saw each other sharpening their knives, and the leader was so frightened that he quickly shouted:
"Hall Master Ling! I am dismounting my second horse. I am sending you some money on the orders of the head of the family, Ma Jianghe! Brothers of Guishui Hall, please don't misunderstand me!"

Hearing that it was sending money, Qian San's eyes lit up when he heard it.

2000 taels of gold came so quickly?As expected of the Ma family, eh, no, how did they know it was us who kidnapped them?Qian Sancai thought about it, but he really couldn't figure out the reason.

"Hall master! Patriarch passed on the message, Guishui hall is so righteous! Everyone in the Ma family is grateful! If there is anything that can help in the future, head Ling just speak up!" I have brought the money and words, but there are still things at home, so I can’t stay long, so I’ll take my leave.”

Ling Feiyan felt that since they were sending money, it was natural not to embarrass them. Just as she was about to open her mouth to see off the guests, Qian San who was beside her suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

Ma Er's back tightened when he heard it, and he turned around and asked, "Brother Qian, is there anything else?"

"Why is it 1000 taels?! Or silver?!"

Ma Er smiled slightly and said proudly: "Brother Qian, don't be surprised. The owner of the family said that the eldest son is the future heir of the Ma family. Since Guishuitang has worked hard to rescue him, he can't be negligent. 1000 taels of silver is not too much, so he should be in the hall." My brothers have had a meal, in the future, our Ma family and Guishuitang will have more contacts, watch over and help each other, and defend against foreign enemies together."

Although Ling Feiyan didn't understand how they dealt with the old money, but the money was received in real terms, 1000 taels is quite a lot, so she hurriedly stopped Qian Sancai who was about to speak, and replied: "Master Ma is serious, I already know this Thank you for your hard work. Save your righteousness and go give it to others.”

"Decree!" The sunny boy Liang Cunyi once again assumed the front job.

Ling Feiyan put her feet up and raised her eyes. Seeing that everyone in the Ma family was gone, she turned around and asked: "Old Qian, what's going on? Did you send the money to the kidnapping base camp?"

"I don't know either. Song Renjie hasn't been seen yet."

Ling Feiyan patted her forehead, not knowing whether to praise or scold: "Forget it, let's just get the money anyway. It seems that the Ma family still intends to make friends, so everyone is happy."

"But the hall master! What I want is 2000 taels!" Qian Sancai said with a sad face.

"Forget it, 1000 taels is fine, and you don't have to fight, how nice it is."

"But what I want is gold!!!"

Ling Feiyan frowned after hearing this: "Old Qian, I always thought your surname was Qian, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy for money."

"I don't think I can quit after finishing this job."

"Old Qian, your idea is not good, and it is easy to cause problems." Zhang Yong quietly appeared behind him, and said darkly.

"Go to Tenenai, I'm scared. There must be something wrong with the letter you sent, so you go to my death."

"No, what about the agreed 50 taels?"

"Do you still want 50 taels? That's all, do you want it or not?" Lao Qian gave Zhang Yong fifty copper coins with a look of disgust.

The gang members at the entrance slowly recovered from their joy. At this time, Song Renjie, who hadn't seen anyone for several days, appeared staggeringly at the main entrance.

"Wow, Song Renjie is back." As the first member of the gang who spotted him shouted, everyone gathered around like a hero.

"You kid can do it! You got 1000 taels without saying a word!"

"How is Ma Chaohui? Has he been sent back?"

"How did you let them know that we were the ones who kidnapped the ticket, and you're still so polite after it's over?" Song Renjie was stunned by everyone's rush of questions.

"Go, go, get out of the way!" Old Qian babbled out a way, and finally came to the inner circle: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"What's the matter?"

Resisting the urge to give him a hammer, Old Qian asked patiently, "Tell me what you did after I left today?"

"Oh, it's like this. Not long after you left, that Ma Zhaohui was about to wake up, and I was going to knock him out."

"Hiss~" Everyone gasped and waited nervously for the next sentence.

"As a result, I was knocked out by others."

"???"

"Then did you see the other person's appearance clearly?"

"No, I just remember being knocked out with a stick."

"When I woke up, I found myself hanging on a tree, and then I went to the ruined temple, and found that there was no one there, and then I came back." Song Renjie spoke quickly, and everyone was stunned. .

"Why does this process sound so miraculous?"

"I don't know what's going on. By the way, what's the situation here? Did the Ma family send the money?"

Qian Sancai quickly told Song Renjie what happened.

"In short, this matter is full of weirdness." This was Lao Qian's final conclusion.

"It's alright, alright, let's leave it at that. It's not a bad thing anyway. It's getting late. Everyone pack up and go back to rest early."

After experiencing ups and downs and a strange and unpredictable day, everyone really felt groggy and everyone walked tiredly to their own residences, leaving only a few people to clean up.

"Hey, why are there two sticks missing?" The boy who was counting the inventory caught the attention of two people.

Zhang Yong speeded up his pace and returned to the room.

Sure enough, I was busy going out to increase my presence, and forgot the stick in the room.

Zhang Yong quickly climbed out of the window and secretly stuffed the stick next to the weapon rack in the backyard. Then he took a long breath and returned to the room with peace of mind.

"Stick. Stick" The questioning voice just now lingered in Song Renjie's mind for a long time, and as he muttered, his bewildered brain gradually brightened up.

No, my stick is gone too!Song Renjie suddenly realized something, but still couldn't connect everything together.

"Wait a minute." Song Renjie called out to the boy who was excitedly holding the stick and was about to put it back into the warehouse.

"What's wrong, Brother Song?"

"Show me this stick."

Song Renjie took a wooden stick and looked at it carefully.

"Where did you find it?"

"Over the weapon rack, someone must have accidentally left it there. Is there any problem, Brother Song?"

Song Renjie frowned more and more, and suddenly, he said something.

"Hit me."

"What?" This request made people panic in every sense of the word.

"I'll let you hit me in the face."

"Brother Song, are you not sick?"

"If you are told to hit you, hit it, there is so much nonsense."

"Crack!" A stick hit Song Renjie's face.

"No, you should be more upright and harder."

"Crack!!" A fierce stick hit Song Renjie's face.

"Hehehe" Song Renjie covered his head and laughed.

"Brother Song, are you okay?" the young man asked tentatively.

"Brother Song, I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never had such a good time. Okay, you go back, I seem to have lost that stick, please report, I will use this stick first."

"Come on, Brother Song, take a good rest." The young man ran back to the room as if flying.

Ignoring the other party's strange gaze, Song Renjie stared at the stick seriously.

Although his head was dizzy from being beaten with a stick, his consciousness was as clear as ever.

It was this stick that knocked me out, and the source of this strange thing is in our Guishui Hall.

Song Renjie stared brightly at everyone and every room in the yard.

Having been a Hanhan for more than 20 years, he has never been so clear-headed or so sure for a moment.
