Chapter 18 Banquet
After dealing with the two guarding the treasure house, the monkey carefully took out a key from the third brick on the stone wall on the right, and walked out to the keyhole of the iron door, which was two feet tall and several feet thick.
"It is said that this Governor Ma's family is rich, and I don't know whether it is true or false!" Hou'er murmured, his eyes full of greed and excitement.
The iron door was pushed open with a "bang". I didn't see piles of gold, silver and jewelry. Instead, I saw thirty or forty soldiers wearing armor holding crossbow arrows in their hands facing the door coldly. The four of them were stunned by the scene.
"The four big men don't sleep at night, what's the point of doing when they come to my governor's office?" A big man with triangular eyes and thin lips walked out of the crowd of soldiers, holding a thin blade in his left hand.
"Young Master has no money. I heard that the Governor's Mansion has a wealthy family, so I came to borrow some money to spend it! But suddenly I found that I had money but I had no life to spend it!" The monkey smiled dryly and said to himself.
"So brave!" The man smiled, "It turns out that a hero has been a teenager since ancient times! I should be able to guess your identity. Feitian Ling Monkey Monkey has committed 26 crimes in Jiangnan in three years, and has not been arrested once. It is said that the six doors have given you a reward of 5,000 taels. Life and death are not the same. I didn't expect to fall here, right?"
"My master, I am a hero, I wonder if you are? I admit defeat this time, but I don't accept it! If you knock me down with real swords and guns, I will be convinced. Don't you want to know that my big treasure is hidden there?" Hou'er said unwillingly.
"I am not a hero, and I don't want you to be convinced, and I don't need your money. Not only do I don't want your money, my master also wants to invite you to drink with the three friends behind you, and you don't have to find a way to escape. These are all the funiu crossbows transferred from the army. No matter how powerful you are in your light skills within ten feet, you can't escape death. The four of you should go to the banquet with me!" said the big man coldly.
"By the way, I have to go and take off my masks from the four brothers, otherwise wouldn't it be awkward to eat!"
The four of them had no choice but to take off their masks. Unexpectedly, the monkey looked red in lips and white in teeth, and looked like a young man.
The four were taken to the banquet, and Brother Li was quite dissatisfied-
"I swear to take our brothers and three to make a fortune, but what happened? Dozens of big men hid behind the door with crossbows! Are you here to make a fortune or to save your life? Even if you are here to save your life, don't take us three!"
"I didn't force you to go. You guys can blame someone for your greed! Also, do you really think you are so powerful? As soon as you enter the Governor's Mansion, you will find you. It would be a miracle that three little thieves who have no experience will not be arrested! If it weren't for my fear that you would ruin my big deal, who cares about your life or death!" The monkey was even more angry.
"Your big deal is to die? Then don't take our brother-third!" Brother Li sarcastically said.
The two of them quarreled until the four of them were escorted to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
"Go to yourself! I still have to serve the master!" said the big man coldly.
The big man waved his hand, and more than thirty soldiers took the order to retreat. Just as the big man was about to leave, Zhou Qian suddenly asked, "Are you the chief supervisor of the Governor's Office Zhao Yuan?"
The big man frowned and looked at Zhou Qian, saying, "What's wrong with you?" He obviously had already made accusations.
"Your jade pendant has fallen!" Zhou Qian threw Ma Yuan's jade pendant to him, and regardless of the fleeting cold light in his eyes, he said to himself: "Let's go in quickly! I guess Governor Ma is waiting anxiously!"
"Santher, what the hell are you doing? You've bought the expression of Zhao Biaosan just now, as if you want to eat us!" Brother Li touched a cold sweat and looked around for a long time until he couldn't see Ma Yuan's back.
"San Lao, why did you give the jade pendant to others? This is an important evidence! It is extremely important to the court and to us!" Wang Hu also said seriously.
"I--" Zhou Gangang was about to speak.
"I think this brother is doing well!" Houer laughed.
"It's all your business!" Li Sanshan said bluntly.
"We are thieves, so how can the master arrest the thief and not send him to the official position! At least he has to be beaten to death!" The monkey said indifferently, "Hold us to a banquet? There must be a conspiracy!"
"So what?" Li Sanshan said.
"We are just four turtles in the jar, and we don't know anything. In this case, the more muted the river, the better. The other party has a concern. Although we don't know what kind of treasure this jade pendant is, this guy is doing this move well!"
"So that's how it is!" Li Sanshan suddenly realized, "San, you are very far-sighted!"
"I'm not as much as this monkey thought. I just felt that the more complicated the situation, the greater the chance of our lives!" Zhou Gan said embarrassedly.
"Let's go!" The monkey sighed helplessly, "From now on the way! We are really grasshoppers on the same line!"
In the hall, the lights are brightly lit and the wine is mixed with wine—
There are dozens of night pearls surrounding the hall, emitting a bright white light, and the valuable Western Regions Qilin blankets are laid underneath. The tables and chairs are of good red sandalwood, surrounded by flutes, qin and flutes, and beautiful pavilions. There are also several beautiful maids who can play with brocade pipas, with a luxurious atmosphere.
There were nine people sitting on the dining table, each dressed well, unlike ordinary families. Zhou Gan was surprised to find that several of them he actually knew. Wang Jing and Wang Wei and his brothers and sisters whom he met in the restaurant that day were also among them. There was also a man dressed in an official, an old man holding a sword, a strong young man, a scholar, an old woman holding a crutch, and a beautiful woman dressed in a charming manner. Sitting in the middle was a fat man in silk dress.
Could this fat man be a killer? Zhou Gan had a big question in his heart.
"Third Master, who are these?" The old woman's hoarse voice rang.
"Haha! There are guests everywhere!" Fat Governor Ma San said with a smile, "Come here, see the seat!"
The four maids brought four paulownia carved chairs to serve the four of them. Ma San said again: "Would you please introduce yourself?"
"There is no reason why the host doesn't introduce himself first, but lets the guest introduce himself! Governor Ma is a bad thing!" said humanely dressed in the official uniform.
"What Chief Liu said is! I am the one who is doing it is bad! I am the one who is doing it is bad! I am the one who is spontaneously drinking three cups, come on, Chun'er, pour wine!" Ma San laughed and ordered the beautiful woman next to him, and touched her smooth face.
"Master is really! You should drink less!" Chun'er, a concubine from the sixth house, said shyly and timidly. Her enchanting figure seemed to be hanging on Ma San's body, and the strong man looked straight.
"Then I will help you get familiar with it so as not to get rid of it. This one is one of the only sixteen brocaded shops in the six doors. He has a high position and a powerful reputation!" Ma San said with a smile.
"I dare not, don't dare! I'm just trying to do some money." Captain Liu said lightly.
"The one next to him is the descendant of Mr. Jin Jian Wang, Miss Wang Wei, Mr. Wang Jing, and brothers Zhao San who have a pair of legs kicked all over the Jianghuai River and Huai River. Mr. Liu from Qiantang Sword Sect, I wonder what I said is right?" Ma San said with a smile, his eyes mysteriously.
"Why don't you introduce me to me?" Captain Liu's face turned gloomy.
"Captain Liu calmed down!" Ma San's fat face still had such a harmless smile, "This one is called Sun Zhen, I believe you have never heard of the name, but this brother has done a lot of big things recently!" Ma San pointed to the big man.
"He is the leader of the fierce horse bandit. He set up an ambush in Jiming Valley, and all the camps were killed!"
The words were shocked. Not only did the officials' eyes change, but even the big man seemed to be surprised without expecting it. He suddenly pulled out the ghost head nine-ring sword behind him and shouted angrily: "Ma Laosan, what do you mean? Do you want to sell me to the government? Don't forget what you did back then!"
"Don't be anxious!" Captain Liu looked at his head and eyes, looked at his nose and nose, raised his hand to stop Wang Wei, whose half of the sword had been unsheathed, and said lightly: "Governor Ma hasn't finished introducing it yet!"
"Yes! I haven't finished introducing it yet!" Ma San smiled faintly, as if he didn't take everyone seriously.
"Let him say it!" the old woman said hoarsely. The leader of the bandit seemed to have deep concerns about the old woman, and he swallowed his anger and retreated.
"This is really an old senior who has been famous for 30 years. I don't need to say that Captain Liu knows everyone!"
"Longtou Tieguai Grandma She, the remnant of the previous dynasty!" Captain Liu said with a dark face.
"Hehe, hehe, I haven't been in the world for decades. I didn't expect that the younger generation is so ignorant of the rules now!" Grandma She's face, which seemed to be shriveling in the shriveled bark, trembling like a thousand-year-old tree demon.
"As for this person, he is a local scholar Tang Xiucai, who is very literary. He will go to Luodu to participate in the mansion next time!" Ma San paused when he said this, "But this person has another identity, the third son of the Red Lotus Sect leader, Lu Zheng, Young Master Lu."
"A traitor in chaos!" Captain Liu's face was already extremely gloomy, "Okay! Governor Ma is loyal to the country, be kind and righteous. After this Captain catches these three thieves, he will ask for credit for the Lord!"
"Sir, let's wait!" Ma San said in a deep voice, "The people from the court are also from the world. They are talking about the word "Yi". The leader of the Red Lotus Sect has saved my life, so I must not refuse to report it. I beg Captain Liu to let him go."
"What if I say no?" Captain Liu stared at Ma San.
"That official can only say it!" Ma San clapped his hands vigorously, and countless black shadows suddenly emerged outside the hall, and there was a faint sound of bows and crossbows.
"The Qiantang Navy has an insider! Is it you?" Captain Liu asked suddenly.
"I, Ma San, are very brave. I dare not do anything rebellious!"
"Give me evidence!"
"What I do now is the biggest evidence!" Ma San said word by word.
"Hihehe! Huh!" Grandma She suddenly laughed sharply, as if Ye Xiao was whistling, and Zhou Qian's eardrums were aching. "Ma Lao San, you ask us here to come and attract people from the court. You don't really think that you can keep this official hat if you betray us, right? Don't forget! Who drank blood wine in front of the statue of Wusheng's old mother and made a poisonous oath!"
"Of course I know that at most, I will stop being an official and go back to the world and be my swordsman; but I am not crazy! Change dynasty and usurp the throne and plot against you! Is this kind of thing possible for you?" Ma San suddenly cursed, "You can conquer the world and share wealth and honor! You are all blinded by lard! The leader is good to me, but he is not qualified to ask me to accompany him to copy the nine tribes!"
"You have seen the master's magical powers and magical methods before. The master's magical magic is mysterious. Do you have any doubts about the destiny of heaven?" Lu Zheng said suddenly.
"The leader's immortal art is of course powerful!" Ma San was silent for a while and said, "But can immortal art compete with a million tiger and wolf army?"
The door was suddenly knocked open, and Ma Yuan led several officers to rush in—
Chapter completed!
