Chapter 164 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone
"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I have to remind you that if you can't produce evidence in the future, you will have to remain dumb." After saying this, the boss left, leaving Brother Big Dog standing alone at the door.
He was so angry that he kicked the door twice and walked away with his teeth bared.
An hour later, Liang Yuanwang slowly walked out.
"Aunt, there are people from the government, four or five constables, near the mountain stronghold. I saw them when I got up this morning. It looks like they are here to wipe out the bandits, but they are too timid to confront them head-on, so they are still trying to think of a solution."
When Nian Huayue heard this, she frowned immediately.
Isn’t Brother Big Dog framing her as someone from the government?
Now that people from the yamen have really come, doesn't that give him a good opportunity to frame himself?
"Aunt, I told you this news because I want you to be prepared. You can pretend to go out for a walk and tell the second in command the news when you come back. Then you can give him some ideas on how to deal with the constables. But don't tell anyone else about this."
Liang Huanxue saw her anxiety, and she was also worried about this matter.
But looking at the second in command's attitude towards Nian Huayue, I feel there is no need to worry too much.
After all, they had nothing to do with the government, so it would be best if they could just let the two groups fight and watch the fun from the sidelines.
"Do you think that if I reveal this news to the Second in Command first, I can clear myself? Even if Big Dog wants to frame me then, I will be fine because of this. Instead, it will deepen their conflict?" Nian Huayue analyzed.
Liang Huanxue nodded. "Yes, that's what I mean. The boss will definitely not be able to stand Brother Dagou doing this again and again, so he will definitely kick him out when the time comes."
If he was just driven out, it would be a good thing for Brother Big Dog.
After all, these bandits usually kill people without blinking an eye.
It was only because there had been too much killing and there were no more villages around for them to plunder, so they stopped temporarily and turned to cause trouble for the government.
"Okay, I'll go out for a look later. By the way, I've already found out the situation of the middle row of rooms." Nian Huayue dipped her fingers in the tea, drew a simple diagram on the table, and described the situation in those rooms to Liang Huanxue.
Those imprisoned were basically women and children who had been captured.
She heard that the bandits intended to sell the children, but now that the disaster had just passed, no one was willing to pay a high price, so they were kept for the time being.
Liang Huanxue's eyes rolled around, and she thought that if she could join forces with those children, she might be able to improve the efficiency of saving lives.
"Aunt, do you think I can get in like this?" Liang Huanxue knew without looking in the mirror that she didn't look good now.
His hair was all tangled and his clothes were torn and tattered, but he could blend in with the other captured children without any sense of incongruity.
Nian Huayue couldn't help but frown when she heard her say this, "Huanxue, isn't this too dangerous?"
Liang Huanxue supported her chin and thought for a while, and felt that this idea was indeed risky.
What if she is also trapped in there and can't escape?
Wouldn't that mean you're dragging yourself into this as well?
Liang Huanxue's eyes fell on the roast chicken on the table, and a new idea suddenly came to her mind.
"Aunt, where did you get this roast chicken from? Is there a kitchen in their village?" Liang Huanxue had basically figured out the situation here.
But I couldn't find where the kitchen was.
If we could make some moves in the kitchen, it would be much easier to deal with these bandits.
"I don't know if it can be considered a kitchen. It's just a shed at the back, next to the stable." Nian Huayue had no appetite after smelling the odor in the stable.
That's why I brought the roast chicken back.
"Next to the stable?" Liang Huanxue suddenly remembered that she saw a shed next to the stable.
I thought there was a stable there too.
Who would have thought that such a simple place would actually be a kitchen.
Who could have imagined this?
"You're not planning to do anything in the kitchen, are you? There are people coming and going there, so it would be difficult to do anything. Do you think I haven't thought about it?"
I had thought of using this method before, it is simple and efficient.
But the people in the village are very strict about the kitchen, especially newcomers, and they keep an eye on it all the time.
I don’t know if I have suffered any loss in this regard.
Liang Huanxue sighed, "Let's wait and see."
Even if we can't attack everyone, can't we defeat them one by one?
All we need to do is capture the key characters.
By then, there will be only a pile of loose sand left.
Liang Huanxue returned to the cave with half a roast chicken.
As she expected, those detectives did not dare to come back here, but found a cave below to take temporary shelter.
Liang Huanxue was eating roast chicken while observing the situation on the mountain road. After a while, she saw Nian Huayue walking out.
She didn't stay outside for too long and returned to the village.
Perhaps in order to make the second in command believe her words more, she ran a few steps on purpose, looking breathless.
About a cup of tea later, Nian Huayue led the second in command out of the mountain village.
She did not take the second in command to the cave below, as that would easily alert the enemy.
There would be no fun if people were scared away.
She went around to the other side, found a place where she could see the cave, and pointed it out to the second in command.
The second in command had also been to the yamen, so he easily recognized some of the faces.
"I never thought they would come to me on their own initiative."
Nian Huayue did not expect them to show up at this time. Fortunately, Huanxue found them, allowing her to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, you will just become extremely passive.
"It's not a good time to make a move. Who knows if there are other people lying in ambush around. The second in command can first ask someone to check if there are only these few people, and then find a way to get rid of them." Nian Huayue said.
"Solved?" The second in command laughed suddenly, and that laughter made people's backs cold.
Even Nian Huayue couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
"What does the second-in-command plan to do?" she asked carefully.
The second in command did not answer, but turned around and walked back.
Nian Huayue was not stupid enough to continue asking questions, but followed.
When Liang Huanxue appeared in her room in the dead of night, she immediately asked the question in her heart, "Huanxue, why didn't he do what you said?"
"He must be trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Thinking of this, Liang Huanxue's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
That half roast chicken was given by the second in command, so there shouldn't be any problem with it, right?
Liang Huanxue was not on guard when she ate, and she never thought that the second in command might tamper with the food.
After all, he seems to value time so much, who can believe that he will make use of it?
