Mugui

Chapter 72
In the county seat, there is a incense shop.

Today's Yixiangfang was not open for business because Diao Youde brought several big men to discuss important matters.

In the shop, Diao Youde sat on a chair with a gloomy face, and there was an unsheathed long knife on the table beside him.

Shopkeeper Lu looked at Diao Youde who was sitting across from him in disbelief, "What did Master Diao say just now? You were blackmailed by that little girl?"

Is this possible?
The biggest underworld force in Baiyun County was extorted by a small village girl?

Diao Youde stared at the shopkeeper Lu with gray and blind eyes, and said in a very bad tone: "She stole 3000 taels of silver from me, brother Lu, you can't be alone in this matter!"

"Many, how much?" Shopkeeper Lu suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Diao Youde stretched out three fingers and repeated the astonishing number: "3000 taels."

Shopkeeper Lu took a deep breath, even a Xiangfang could not earn that much money in a year!

Diao Youde leaned over to the shopkeeper Lu, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, this matter is our conspiracy, we can't bear the loss alone, can we?"

Shopkeeper Lu's face changed, even if the little girl really extorted money, she would never pay as much as 3000 taels.

He was well aware of Diao Youde's robbery, and after a long while, he tentatively said: "Master Diao's loss, I feel very sorry for my brother, it's just this loss..."

He raised his eyes and said with burning eyes: "Earlier, Master Diao sent someone to tell me that the matter was completed, and I gave Master Diao 100 taels of silver as a reward. This was originally a transaction where one hand paid for the other and the other hand delivered the goods. Now the matter has not been completed, I've already paid the money. Isn't it inappropriate for Master Diao to ask me to bear the loss again?"

He played with the wrench in his hand and said with a sneer: "Besides, our Second Master Miao will be here in a few days. If we let him know about this, I'm afraid he will be very dissatisfied."

Seeing him mentioning the Miao family, Diao Youde restrained his aura slightly.If Yang Mu hadn't taken away all his savings, he would not have come to Yixiangfang to ask the shopkeeper Lu to extort money.

But if Second Master Miao wants to come, he has to weigh it carefully, after all, he can't afford to offend the Miao family.

Shopkeeper Lu knew from Diao Youde's face that his words made the other party jealous, so he continued: "The second master of our Miao family will arrive in Baiyun County in a few days. If Master Diao insists on letting the Miao family bear part of the losses, it is better to wait for Miao Er Master is here, shall we discuss again?"

Diao Youde fell silent, if the second master of the Miao family really came, it would be too late for him to flatter, how dare he ask for money?
"I don't know when the second master Miao arrived in Baiyun County?" Diao Youde was testing the truth of this matter.

Shopkeeper Lu said: "At least three days, at most half a month."

Diao Youde observed the shopkeeper Lu's expression carefully, he didn't seem to be pretending, he couldn't help but secretly plotting.

Shopkeeper Lu is a good man in the business field, and at most he will be compensated a few hundred taels of silver. Since then, the relationship between the two has been completely severed.

But if he admits this matter by himself and drags the shopkeeper Lu to introduce Erye Miao to himself, then he is afraid that the magistrate of Hang County will not sell his face?

You know, Second Master Miao's real brother is Bai Zewei, who specializes in monitoring all officials, but who is not afraid of any official?My aunt is also the concubine of Duke Huguo's mansion in the capital city. I heard that she also gave birth to a daughter, who is very much loved by the eldest son.

If he got to Bai Zewei or the Duke's Mansion through Second Master Miao, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in this Baiyun County from now on?

After thinking this through, Diao Youde's complexion became better, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Lu was joking, Second Master Miao is here, so naturally I want to entertain him well! I will have to trouble Brother Lu to introduce you then!"

Shopkeeper Lu felt relieved when he saw that Diao Youde was no longer obsessed with asking for money. He was just working for the Miao family and didn't have much money.

"Mr. Diao's righteousness, Yuntian Lu, remembers it. When the second master comes, he will definitely introduce him to Master Diao."

Shopkeeper Lu smiled sincerely, as if someone else had dealt with Diao Youde just now.

The two people who had their own thoughts smiled tacitly.

One feeling is that I gave up some money and bought the opportunity to strengthen the Miao family.

A few words can save hundreds of taels of silver.

Win-win.

……

Cockscomb Mountain.

A suspension bridge connects the two cliffs. The bridge body is old and the wood is a little rotten.

Standing by the bridge and looking down, you can't see the bottom at a glance. The thick fog on the mountainside is like a fairyland.

Yang Mu stood by the suspension bridge, coaxing Qiuqiu in his arms.

Qiuqiu is afraid of heights, and he is unwilling to walk, so he is trying to "beep".

Mu Dalang was leaning on a cane, panting heavily, and his face was a little abnormally red.

His body was still weak, and he walked the mountain road for two days, which was a bit overwhelming.

Fang Fugui hugged Yang Shitou and laughed loudly: "Shitou, after crossing this bridge, your grandmother and grandfather's house is on the opposite side!"

Yang Shitou was a little excited, but he was also a little afraid of heights, his face full of confusion.

Fang Fugui took the lead and carried Xiao Douding onto the bridge.

Yang Shitou felt the suspension bridge swaying in the wind, so frightened that he cried "Wow", and stretched out his little hand towards Yang Mu desperately, "Sister! Sister!"

Compared with the "Grandpa Fang" whom he had just known for a short time, his elder sister made him feel more at ease.

Yang Mu walked up the bridge in a few steps, holding his younger brother in one hand and the ball in the other.

Qiuqiu hugged Yang Mu nervously, buried her head in her arms, and didn't dare to look down at all.

Yang Shitou imitated the example, with the same posture as Qiuqiu, which made Fang Fugui laugh out loud.

Mu Dalang followed closely behind, limping slightly.

Hei Daya tested it a few times with his claws, but he also resolutely stepped onto the bridge.

Although the suspension bridge was wobbly, it was still strong, and the few people reached the opposite side without any risk.

Yang Mu looked back and decided in his heart that he had to ask the Chen family and his sons to see if there were any masters who could repair bridges, so they could build this bridge as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if it breaks one day, it will be a big accident.

After crossing the suspension bridge and walking for half an hour, you will arrive at the cottage.

This is the first time for Yang Mu to actually see what the ancient bandit den looked like, and he is still very excited.

Different from Yang Mu's travel mood, Mu Dalang squinted his eyes slightly. It was this person from the cottage who turned him into a "sister of the village"!

But when they stood in front of the cottage, they were all stunned.

This is a cottage built against the mountain, a dilapidated wooden watchtower, and two precarious wooden doors.

Ah this...

This is the well-known bandit den?
It's not as grand as Yang Muchu's courtyard!
Fang Fugui shouted towards the archery tower: "Open the door!"

On the watchtower, a bandit stood guard and asked loudly, "Who is here?"

Fang Fugui yelled, "Er Niu, you fucking don't even recognize me?"

The bandit named Er Niu squinted his eyes for a while, then smiled and said, "I just can't see clearly!"

He pointed to Yang Mu and the others and asked, "Who are these people?"

Fang Fugui said angrily: "Young girl Mu and her husband have returned with the stone!"

"What?" Er Niu looked shocked, and hurriedly shouted to the arrow tower: "Open the door, open the door!"

Taking advantage of the opening of the door inside, Fang Fugui explained to Yang Mu: "Erniu's eyes are not good, but archery is very good."

Yang Mu expressed doubts, the appearance of Erniu just now is obviously myopic.Myopia can still shoot arrows?
