Chapter 254 Is his identity as a juren fake?
Ming Heng put his arm on Hu Ming's shoulder and put his whole body weight on him to prevent him from escaping: "Don't talk, or I'll kill you!"
At this time, Yuan Zexu was looking for Hu Ming, but he couldn't find him after searching for a while.
"Forget it, he must have left me for a brothel again."
“…”
In the alley.
Mingheng left Yuan Zexu, exchanged a glance with Jiusu, and continued to track the Yinshan bandits.
Hu Ming knew Jiusu.
He raised his hands and said, "Sir, I haven't looked for Hu Baozhu yet."
Jiusu asked: "What is your relationship with Yuan Zexu?"
"It was that day when I ran away from home and met him," Hu Ming said. "We usually went to casinos and brothels together. We didn't do anything bad!"
Jiusu didn't believe it. She raised her eyelids slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Zexu is contacting your sister. How dare you say you didn't know? Tell me everything now, or I won't send you to the government."
Kou Shao threatened.
"Going to the government office will at least cost you a lot of money."
Hu Ming's body stiffened, and he confessed everything in a tense voice: "Yuan Zexu and I owed some money. One day, we saw Hu Baozhu working as the store owner, so we came up with a plan. We let Yuan Zexu get close to her and trick her into selling the store."
Jiusu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is Yuan Zexu's mother's illness also fake? And his status as a juren is also fake?"
"It's all fake," Hu Ming pleaded, kneeling on the ground. "I've told you everything. Please let me go. I didn't know that bookstore belonged to you."
Kou Shao glanced at the young lady and kicked Hu Ming.
"Get out of here now! If you do anything against the law again, I'll break your legs!"
Hu Ming crawled away, and Kou Shao angrily said, "Miss, they are so despicable. They actually lied to Miss Hu again. This bastard doesn't act like a brother at all!"
Looking at the vast night, Jiusu exhaled a breath of hot air.
"Tomorrow morning, go find Baozhu and tell her about this. There's no need to give her any advice. I believe she's a sober girl."
At this time, Mingheng had already become one with the bandits in Yinshan.
The bandit held the wine glass in his hand, shaking it, his face flushed from drinking. He clapped his hands and said, "Little Mingzi, if you follow me, you won't suffer any loss. I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future!"
Mingheng sneered in his heart.
Is that also you who called her Xiao Mingzi?
Wait a minute, I’ll turn them into a hornet’s nest.
"Yeah?"
The bandit paused, his pride taking over. He signaled his younger brother to close the window, then sat down next to Mingheng and took two snacks.
"To tell you the truth, we're going to be rich soon."
Ming Heng was puzzled: "How can you get rich in Suming County, where there's no one living there? Are you kidding me?"
"Suming County doesn't have money, but Chenjia Village does," the bandit explained. "I heard they built a factory there that sells wine, fine salt, and hot pot ingredients. Everyone lives in a warm house, and it's a very popular place. I'm telling you this because I treat you like a brother, so don't tell anyone else."
Ming Heng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. It's just a factory, you can't move it away."
The bandit laughed and said, "If we can't move away, we can come here. Kill all the people in Chenjia Village and take the factory for ourselves. But that Jiusu is a bit powerful. We are here to get information."
Mingheng threw his head back and laughed.
He said, "You are outsiders, so you may not know that Jiusu is not that powerful. The powerful one is Jiang Jing, but Jiang Jing returned to Shengjing yesterday."
The two looked at each other, both a little stunned.
"Really? Don't lie to us."
Ming Heng said helplessly: "Why would I lie to you? I just wanted to get more silver. In fact, if you ask around, you will find out. Jiusu is just a peasant girl. How can she be so powerful? Besides, you Yinshan bandits are afraid of a group of unarmed peasants?"
The bandit nodded: "That's true, but we are outnumbered and we are afraid of being discovered."
Mingheng touched his chin and said, "I do have a plan."
In fact, it was Miss Jiu who told him this. At this moment, he really understood why the young man fell in love with a village girl.
Not only good-looking.
And the wisdom and talent to strategize.
The bandit came closer and said with bright eyes: "Brother, tell me quickly."
"Chenjia Village is naturally bustling on New Year's Day." Mingheng coughed lightly and imitated Miss Jiu's tone. "It's New Year's Eve, so it's not too much to watch a variety show and listen to a play. You took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in, didn't you?"
"Hahaha."
Laughter echoed throughout the house.
A sinister look flashed in the bandit's eyes. He raised his glass and said, "Actually, my name is Eagle Bald, and I'm the leader of the Yinshan bandits. At first, I was very wary of you, but now it seems you have good taste. Tell me, why did you choose me?"
Ming Heng said, "My family has fallen on hard times and I need money. Anyone can help."
"You're quite honest." Eagle Bald pulled out a purse from his pocket and placed it on the table. "How about I invite you to be the second-in-command of Yinshan?"
Mingheng didn't take the purse.
"Does the Second Master have money?"
"Yes!" Eagle Bald said cheerfully, "After this is done, Chenjia Village will be divided equally between you and me!"
He was completely sober, and he and another bandit packed up their things and set off back to Yinshan to call for help.
Mingheng became their internal supporter.
The younger brother asked, "Brother, do you trust him so much?"
Bald Eagle said, "If he doesn't want anything, I'll just kill him. He's just a greedy person, easy to control. Besides, didn't we ask around? The people in the gambling house really said that Jiusu didn't do anything. Jiang Jing is gone, and that woman is just an embroidered pillow."
"Brother, you are wise!" the younger brother said admiringly.
——
Jiusu said: "Thank you very much."
"Oh, you're being too kind." The gambling house owner clasped his fists. "If the bandits come, it won't be good for our casino. But why do you have to speak so harshly of yourself? Aren't you afraid that the bandits will actually come?"
Jiusu's eyes were deep, and he smiled and said, "I'm just afraid he won't come."
The gambling house owner understood and thought, "A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days." He lured the thieves in and caught them all in one fell swoop. At that time, the reputation of Chenjia Village as a village that was not easy to mess with spread.
Bandits and others will not be easily offended.
Speaking of offense.
He remembered an old incident.
"Before, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I helped Chen Wu, but he dared to kidnap you. I hope you will be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
When traveling through time, the original owner must be sold to the Tian family.
I think it's this casino.
Good and evil coexist in every walk of life.
Jiusu could not forgive the original owner, nor could she understand the forced sale. She stood up and walked towards the door, her voice light and without any emotion.
"You helped me this time." She glanced sideways. "We're even."
The gambling house owner was sweating profusely. He respectfully sent the man away and fell into a wooden chair.
Nan Nan said, staring at one spot.
"It's over, it's over."
The subordinate asked: "Why did you finish speaking? Didn't she let it go?"
The gambling house owner smiled bitterly: "Clearing the two means that if I commit a crime again or make her unhappy, she will settle accounts with me. I will keep a close eye on the affairs of the Jiu Mansion in the future. If I have the chance to do you a favor..."
