Chapter 44 So fat!

A touch of pride flashed in Wang Hong's eyes.

"Master Wang, what do you think we should do?" the landowner's mother-in-law asked anxiously.

"what!"

When he saw the landowner's mother-in-law in front of him, Wang Hong opened his mouth wide.

"Master Wang, have you never seen such a bandit? How can we get 3000 taels of silver?" The landowner's mother-in-law pinched her fingers, her face full of anxiety.

Wang Hong felt that the whole world was spinning. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the landowner in front of him was a human or a ghost.

After a while, he managed to calm down and decided not to panic for the time being and to figure out the situation first.

He stood at the door, looking around in the crowded crowd, and suddenly glanced at a face. The other person also frowned, and the confusion on his face was somewhat familiar.

Yang Liang also came after hearing the sound, and was startled when he saw the note on the door.

Thief Black Butterfly! ?

Isn't that myself?

But the threatening letter he posted was clearly in the Niu family ancestral hall. So, who left this threatening letter?

Is the real black butterfly coming?

Wang Hong withdrew his gaze and said, "Madam, what is going on?"

"It's scary to say that I came back from the theater yesterday and fell asleep while lying on the kang. When I woke up, I found myself lying at the door of the ancestral hall with a sack on my body."

"what!"

The surrounding maids were agitated, and someone whispered: "Is there really a ghost?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's broad daylight and the world is clear. Where did the ghost come from?" The landowner's mother-in-law shouted, holding her hand on her aching forehead, and her heart was beating a little.

She also couldn't understand why she suddenly arrived at the door of the ancestral hall when she was sleeping well in her room.

"Ma'am, it's not good."

A maid ran out of the yard and said, "The third young master is missing."

The landowner's face changed. She was barely calm just now, but now she was completely panicked:

"Why is it missing?"

"I went to call the Third Young Master for dinner and found that there was no one in his room at all. The bedding was not moved. He didn't come back at all last night."

At this time, Wang Hong vaguely understood something and suggested: "Could it be that he was drunk yesterday and slept in the drumming field?"

"exactly."

The landowner said: "Zhao Quan, take the people and go to the village to look for him."

Zhao Quan frowned and said, "I remember seeing the third young master coming back."

"Could you have seen it wrong?" Wang Hong asked.

Zhao Quan was also a little unsure. After all, it was all in the dark yesterday and he couldn't see clearly.

"A Liang, let's go together."

Yang Liang was also confused. Zhao Quan might have seen it wrong, but he remembered clearly that he had clearly knocked Niu Benfu out and put him in a sack. How could he disappear?

Ouch, this matter shouldn't be traced to yourself, right?

My guess yesterday was good, the Niu family was in chaos, completely in chaos.

When he and Zhao Quan came back after walking around, they saw that the main hall was already crowded with people, including the head of Niujia Village.

"How is it? Did you find it?" The landlady stood up immediately.

Zhao Quan shook his head.

Yang Liangliang said that there is a ghost only if you can find it.

There was no room for him to speak here. Yang Liang retreated in the corner and observed the current situation.

There are two pieces of paper on the table, one is the doggerel on the front door, and the other is printed with butterflies.

The room was a mess, but there was nothing nutritious and valuable to say.

"boil……"

Wang Hong sighed, and the room became slightly quiet, and said: "I just took people to the cellar to see, and the bandits in the cellar have disappeared."

"Ah!" The landlord's wife turned pale with fright. She had no idea at this time: "Master Wang, what do you think we should do now?"

"I have long said that we have to follow the rules. Originally, 100 taels of silver could solve the problem, but now they are completely outrageous and ask for 3000 taels."

"3000 taels!"

The landowner's face was as bitter as Coptis chinensis: "We can't raise so much money even if we sell everything."

"This must be the bandits coming here to take revenge." The village chief of Niujia Village sighed: "It's better to find a way to get together and give them the money."

"I have already sent someone to deliver a message to the boss." the landowner said.

Wang Hong rolled his eyes and saw that the landlord's wife was still reluctant to give up money. Maybe she could really come up with the 3000 taels of silver.

A rural landowner like this is usually reluctant to give up food or clothing. He saves whatever money he earns, and the accumulation over the years is not a small amount.

"Madam, we still need to think of a way. The third young master's life is at stake."

"I know, I know..." The landowner was so confused that she had no idea for a moment.

She raised her head, scanned the hall, and said in a pleading tone: "Don't stay here, everyone. Zhao Quan, take people out to search, maybe you can find it."

Zhao Quan agreed and led a group of long-term workers to leave the Niu family compound and search around the village.

The crop fields have just been harvested, and the view above the land is vast, with an unobstructed view of the surrounding scenery.

"There's no place to hide people here?" Old Soldier muttered.

There was no mission reward for finding someone this time, so Yang Liang was not very motivated and looked like he was in trouble.

But thinking of the 3000 taels of silver, Yang Liang was very excited.

This is definitely a huge amount.

If I could get this money, it would be much easier to elope with Li Juhong.Even if he ran to the capital and settled down again, he would still have start-up capital.

However, now the bandit's hair can't be found, let alone money.

Yang Liang recalled what happened last night. He left Niu Benfu at the door of the ancestral hall, and he disappeared the next day.

It is not an easy task to take a big living person out of the yard without being discovered by others.

The bandits who rob people are quite capable.

Yang Liang thought of the limerick on the door again and couldn't help but gasp.

Could it be that the black butterfly really came back from the dead?

Or maybe, just like him, he was cheating in the name of Black Butterfly.

……

Everyone in the Niu Family Courtyard went out to look for people, and the entire Niu Family Courtyard was almost empty.

At this time, Wang Hong walked to the cellar with his hands behind his back.

He moved away the stone slabs holding down the cellar and stepped down the ladder.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes looked at him like a mouse.

"Boss, you're so tall." Qiao Mao stuck his head out and said, "You can fool the Niu family with just a little trick."

Wang Hong waved his hand proudly and said: "A small landlord is not worth mentioning."

He glanced at the sack on the ground and said, "How is he doing?"

"I woke up a few times and I had my mouth blocked."

"You did well."

Wang Hong said: "Now the Niu family is in chaos, but it's not chaotic enough. If we don't give them some trouble, they won't spit out money?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist. Qiao Mao opened the sack and Niu Benfu rolled out.

When he saw the knife stuck in front of him, he suddenly panicked, and there was a smell of urine in the air.

"So cowardly!"

Qiao Mao took the knife and cut off a piece of fresh meat from Niu Benfu's thigh with a stabbing sound.

"Hey, so fat!"
