Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 22: The first disturbance in Haimen!
Wang Changgui came back in the morning.
He was sent back in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and his clothes were changed.
A policeman also came back with them.
But unlike the five yesterday, although this officer was dressed neatly in official uniform and had a sword on his waist, his expression was very respectful. He would ask about people's well-being and bend down to greet them every few steps he took. He looked not much different from those truly filial sons and grandsons.
Why did the police do this?
Is it even a bit of self-degrading?
It’s nothing, I’m just afraid!
There are still two strings hanging at the entrance of the yamen.
He didn't recognize one side, but he recognized all of them on the other side. They were all servants.
And there was that head boy Song, he had a good relationship with him. They were both class leaders and saw each other every day. He was familiar with who the other person was, but what about now?
That Song Rentou, the head of the Song clan, collapsed at the gate of the yamen with shit and urine flowing out, and he fainted on the spot.
The head is still there.
But the person is gone.
When he came, it was already cold.
The master who got up early was also frightened by this incident.
Or, simply put, he was scared to death.
You know, these four policemen were on duty at the yamen gate that night, and the master lived in the backyard of the yamen.
Since they were able to take off the heads of the four policemen, they could naturally take off the head of the master.
Immediately, the master ordered people to take off the head, and then find out what had happened.
This is easy to find out.
Many people on the street knew about it yesterday.
The four policemen who were beheaded were not tight-lipped and they even boasted to others after they came back.
Soon, things became clear.
The master is so angry!
You are so bad, Song Rentou. The master treats you well on weekdays, but you dare to cause such a big trouble to me for your own selfish interests.
The master was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Why has he been able to hold on to the position of Master Haimen for so many years?
Strong ability?
no.
Wide network of contacts?
Yes and no.
Being an honest official?
Not at all.
Although he is greedy for money and lustful, has average abilities, and sometimes likes to pretend to be confused, he never meddles in other people's affairs and will not provoke others innocently. This is the key to his ability to secure his position as the Lord of Haimen.
But what about now?
My subordinates have offended a strong man!
Maybe it's an alien!
No!
The one who has this ability must be an extraordinary person!
no!
We can't go on like this!
I have to save myself!
Immediately, the master personally asked Wang Changgui to leave the cell. He first said that he did not supervise strictly enough and that Song Rentou, a bad apple, appeared under his command, causing his elder brother to suffer. Then he prepared wine and food, and let Wang Changgui, who had just bathed and changed clothes, have a good meal. Finally, he sent Wang Changgui back in his own sedan chair carried by eight people.
Before leaving, he handed a box to Wang Changgui, saying it was an apology.
There were two large ingots in the box.
A total of one hundred taels.
The master held Wang Changgui's hand and was almost in tears of heartache.
I can’t bear to let go!
How much does he steal in a year?
This time one percent has to be lost, it hurts!
But there is no way.
Life is important!
After instructing his men to accompany his elder brother Wang Changgui back, the old man led his men to search the house.
Whose copy?
Who else could it be? Song Rentou and the four policemen.
A loss of one hundred taels.
Got to make it up to you!
Otherwise, the master’s thoughts would not make sense.
Wang Changgui, who was sent back, entered his shop in a daze.
What happened?
Why did you send me back?
"Manager Wang, do you have any other instructions?"
"If not, I'll have to go back to work."
The other team leader who came back with Manager Wang asked with a smile on his face and a bow.
Shopkeeper Wang did not dare to neglect it.
Even though he was still confused and didn't know what had happened, he still had to be polite.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Shopkeeper Wang quickly returned the gift, and the clerk beside him immediately brought a roll of red paper with ten silver dollars inside.
Shopkeeper Wang stepped forward, and the foreman immediately waved his hands.
"Shopkeeper Wang, please don't, please don't."
“It makes it hard for the little ones.”
"You take a rest. I'm leaving first."
Having said that, the foreman on duty took his men and ran away in a flash.
Who wouldn’t be envious of silver dollars?
Judging from the appearance, there must be ten of them, enough for him to have a good time for two days in Xiaobailou.
If you save some money and just go to Donglaishun to eat mutton, and bring your mom, dad, wife and children with you, two coins will be enough.
But I dare not answer it!
The two strings of human heads were like spirit-calling banners stuck in his heart, making him feel terrified.
So, the squad leader turned around and left immediately.
If you don't leave now, you might become greedy.
That would be the same as Song Rentou.
The footsteps became more and more hurried.
Wang Changgui, who was standing in the shop, was even more puzzled.
In the past, these guys wanted to squeeze the marrow out of people.
Today, is this a change of character?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Shopkeeper Wang had an idea in mind and immediately asked his clerk.
The guy was also confused and didn't know anything when asked.
At this time, Lao Wang came back from outside.
Old Wang, who had not slept all night, was in high spirits with a smile on his face. When he saw Wang Changgui coming back, his eyes lit up.
As soon as Shopkeeper Wang saw Old Wang's appearance, he immediately knew what was going on.
This huge difference in treatment must be related to Lao Wang.
"You did it?"
Shopkeeper Wang pulled Old Wang to the backyard and asked in a low voice.
"How can I have such ability?"
"yes……"
"Mr. Mo!"
Lao Wang looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before speaking in a lower voice.
"Mr. Mo?"
Shopkeeper Wang was stunned, and the image of the young man sitting on the horse with a calm expression appeared in his mind.
Shopkeeper Wang didn't know much about Mr. Mo, as most of what he knew was relayed by Old Wang.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Wang believed that Mr. Mo was a capable person.
Because Manager Wang believes in Lao Wang.
You know, he had seen Lao Wang's abilities when he ran from Fengcheng to Haimen in his early years. If it weren't for Lao Wang's abilities, he would have died seven or eight times.
But, isn’t the ability displayed by this Mr. Mo too great?
In less than one night, not only did the foolish official release the person, he also gave him a gift.
this……
It's too incredible.
"Changgui, do you know what happened at the gate of the government today?"
Old Wang continued to ask mysteriously.
"What is it?"
The series of events made Manager Wang a little anxious, and his Fengcheng accent began to appear unconsciously.
"There are two strings of human heads hanging at the entrance of the government office."
"A bunch of four. They were from the policeman who arrested you yesterday."
"A bunch of eight. I don't know who it is, but he should be the one behind this."
"And Song Rentou, the leader yesterday, also died at the gate of the government office today."
Lao Wang continued speaking.
"hiss!"
"Mr. Mo did it?"
Wang Changgui took a breath of cold air.
"I wasn't sure before, but now that you 're back , I'm sure it was definitely done by Mr. Mo. Although Mr. Mo seems to be very kind on weekdays, he can't tolerate any injustice."
"Someone really dared to whimper in front of him."
"Then wait to be dealt with."
Old Wang patted Wang Changgui on the shoulder and laughed .
"Okay, prepare breakfast for Mr. Mo."
"Mr. Mo is delicious. Food doesn't have to be exquisite, but it does have to be made with care."
"I'll go wake up the lady."
"That's something that the young lady will surely like to hear."
Lao Wang said this and continued walking towards the backyard.
Wang Changgui was stunned for a moment, then looked at the box in his hand containing two large silver ingots, and felt as if he was in a dream.
He was prepared to suffer.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events.
What else is there to say?
I have to repay Mr. Mo well.
Breakfast is not available.
Lunch needs to be planned well.
Thinking of this, Wang Changgui took out the two silver ingots in the box and handed them to a clerk, whispering to him - it is true that money can tempt people, but these clerks are all based in Fengcheng, so there is no need to worry that they will really take the silver and run away.
Unless you don’t even want your own mother.
However, such people cannot enter Wang’s shop.
Old Wang called his young lady to get up. Before he got there, the eldest daughter of the Wang family came out with a happy face.
"Miss, do you know this?"
Lao Wang reacted immediately.
Ever since Mr. Liu got together with his young lady, some strange things have happened.
It was surprising at first, but then I got used to it.
Especially after Mr. Liu swore that he would never hurt his young lady, Old Wang just let it go.
The oath of the immortal is effective.
"Um."
The eldest daughter of the Wang family looked towards the room where Mr. Mo was, and the light in her eyes was about to brighten.
She knew that Mr. Mo would definitely solve the problem.
I just never thought it would happen so soon.
The means will be so decisive.
The admiration in her heart seemed to be real at this moment.
This is more than just a good impression.
Also because she couldn't do it.
Or to be more precise, she lacked such decisiveness.
If Mr. Mo had been here before, there wouldn't have been so much turmoil in the Wang family.
Before this, the eldest daughter of the Wang family always couldn't help thinking this way.
And now?
She hoped that Mr. Mo would be there in the future.
Thinking of this, the eldest daughter of the Wang family walked towards the room where Goethe was.
However, someone was one step faster.
It’s Huang Dangdang.
Moreover, Huang Dangdang had just returned from outside.
At this time, Huang Dangdang was wearing a hat and his hair was dyed black.
Haimen is not Fengcheng.
This place not only has many people, but also many talented people.
You never know for sure who will find out what's going on.
Huang Dangdang naturally had to cover up something.
What's more, she went out last night to do something to save someone, so she needed to hide her whereabouts.
Who is Huang Dangdang going to save?
Of course it’s Shopkeeper Wang.
In Huang Dangdang's view, Manager Wang was wrongly accused and arrested because of her, so she certainly couldn't just sit back and watch. So, Huang Dangdang, who seemed to have returned to the room last night, actually climbed over the wall and left.
However, what Huang Dangdang did not expect was that there was someone faster than her.
She originally thought that with her divination and the people left in Haimen, she would be able to find the person behind the scenes in advance.
But unexpectedly, when she arrived, the place was already empty.
No!
You can’t say that people go to the building control!
All I can say is that the head is gone, but the cavity is still there!
The blood is still hot!
Gurgling!
Huang Dangdang was shocked. She didn't expect someone to be faster than her and so ruthless.
Immediately, Huang Dangdang ran to the yamen gate.
She thought someone had murdered her to silence her.
Then Shopkeeper Wang is definitely in danger.
But when he arrived at the yamen, Huang Dangdang was surprised again.
Two strings of human heads were neatly hung at the gate of the yamen, dancing in the wind.
At this time, Huang Dangdang reacted.
This is not murder to silence someone.
But someone came to help.
who?
Who helped?
The first person that popped into Huang Dangdang’s mind was Mo Shengyi.
Although there was no evidence and no one was seen, the daughter of "Sword Immortal" and "Huang Xian'er" believed in her intuition, especially when she saw the string of eight human heads, she was even more certain.
She recognized the string of eight heads.
acquaintance!
The demon of 'Changshengdao'!
Not just any monster!
They are the eight masters of the 'Path to Immortality'!
From top to bottom, the "Way of Immortality" includes the Taoist Master, the Four Heavenly Masters, and the Eight Altar Masters.
In each altar there are positions such as eldest brother, priest, and guardian.
In the past, if a demon like a big brother, a priest, or a guardian appeared in a place, it would be enough to give everyone a headache. If a character like an altar master or a heavenly master appeared, it would be a disaster!
Man-made disaster!
What if the eight altar masters gathered together?
There would be rivers of blood.
However, this situation is rare.
The 'Changsheng Dao' acts in secret, and their whereabouts are unknown. Most of the time they hide in the dark, doing dirty, disgusting and horrifying things. It is almost impossible to gather them together.
And now, they are together.
Come for me!
Huang Dangdang's heart was as clear as a mirror.
Immediately, I became nervous.
But immediately, Huang Dangdang breathed a sigh of relief again.
Why?
The eight great altar masters are gathered together.
But the person is dead here.
The head is still hanging here.
With this, the 'Changsheng Dao' was seriously damaged.
Including the deceased Northern Heavenly Master, there are only the Eastern, Western and Southern Heavenly Masters and the Taoist Master left.
Huang Dangdang thought about it in his heart, but did not move.
She wanted to see if she could catch more of the 'Path to Immortality'.
So, just stayed there until just now.
The demon from the 'Changsheng Dao' was not watching.
I saw a lot of strange people.
These strange people were frightened when they saw the string of human heads, and some of them almost fell to the ground.
Until dawn, when the foolish old man took off the string of heads, many strangers were frightened, but more of them were staring at the gate of the yamen.
Then, Shopkeeper Wang came out.
He was sent back in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Some aliens also came back.
People are not fools.
There are two strings of human heads at the scene. One string of heads belongs to the eight masters of the "Changsheng Dao". What about the other string?
The former is hard to find out, and the latter is like the lice on a bald man's head.
It's obvious.
Seeing this scene, Huang Dangdang hurried back.
Not that I'm worried.
Huang Dangdang believed that Mo Shengyi must have thought about the consequences when he did these things.
The reason why I'm anxious.
Because she wanted to know why Mo Shengyi did this?
You know, they came here for the treasure of the "Sword Immortal".
Isn't it better if fewer people know about it?
Until now, so many people are staring at me.
How to get the treasure?
Mo Shengyi must know this.
But if you know it and still do it, then there must be a way.
What would be the solution?
Huang Dangdang became more and more curious.
Before Miss Wang, she knocked on Goethe's door.
Boom, boom, boom.
