Chapter 43: The Thief's Trick

"Did the young master from the Zhu Mansion send you to deliver a message? What does he want to say? Come and listen to me."

Wu County Lieutenant acted like an official in front of this farmer.

"Replying to your lord, Mr. Zhu asked me to send a message, saying that although he had grievances, he knew that there was nothing he could do. Now that the bandits have been eliminated, the great revenge has been avenged. I just want to ask you to show your kindness and leave a lasting impression on the Zhu family.

. He is willing to hand over all the properties of the Zhu Mansion to you, and you can go to the Zhu Mansion to count them one by one at any time. From now on, he will go far away and will never cause you any trouble."

The farmer finished his words with a bit of trepidation, but the more Wu County Lieutenant listened, the more his eyebrows flew.

"Haha! That's great..."

Just when I was about to jump up with excitement, I realized that the farmer was still there. It seemed a little inappropriate, so I sat back down again.

"Well, I understand. Mr. Zhu and I have been friends for many years, how can we embarrass a nephew? There must be some misunderstanding here. Well, you go back and tell the nephew of the Zhu family, and I will ensure his safety.

As for the property and family property, my nephew is too polite. How can I take advantage of others' danger? But my nephew is young, and as his uncle, I will take care of it for him for a few years. When he is weak, I will definitely return it!

"

After Wu Xianwei suppressed his excitement, he asked the steward to reward the farmer with a few coins and sent the farmer who had sent the message back.

"Oh, that's great! I didn't expect this boy from the Zhu family to be so knowledgeable! It seems that he stayed at someone else's house that night and escaped the disaster. This is God's will! Now there is no need to share the property equally with those bandits.

It’s mine! Hahaha!”

Lieutenant Wu Xian danced excitedly in the hall.

After the housekeeper sent the farmer away, he shook his head when he saw the appearance of his own adults.

"Sir, I think this matter is inappropriate."

Lieutenant Wu County turned his head and looked at the old housekeeper in confusion.

"What's wrong? I think it's perfectly reasonable. How dare he, a pariah whose family has lost power, dare to fight with me?"

The old butler respectfully stepped forward and replied: "My lord, this matter is indeed reasonable and reasonable. He wants to hand over the family property and protect himself. I don't think there is any problem. But why bother your lord to go there in person? He really

If you are serious about it, wouldn’t it be more sincere to send your family property here yourself?”

Lieutenant Wu Xian waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Old housekeeper, you are so worried! The Zhu family has a big business, so of course money and food can be sent here, but what about the real estate and fields? It is normal for me, the new owner, to do an inventory."

In fact, in addition to this, there was another most important reason in Wu Xianwei's mind that he did not say out loud.

Even if he still owes the casino more than 200,000 yuan, the casino is not opened by ordinary people. If he doesn't pay back, he is afraid that his black hat will be lost. It is because of this that he will take the risk of attacking the Zhu Mansion.

idea.

Now that people have delivered their property to their doorsteps, is there any reason to extrapolate it to others?

Even if there were any traps, he would not hesitate to take the risk. After all, traps were only possible, but casinos were already a real threat, and everyone could figure out this.

Seeing that his master was so determined and well aware of his temper, the housekeeper did not try to persuade him. He just asked Lieutenant Wu to bring more followers and even some county soldiers to go with him.

"Well, of course this is necessary. Oh, by the way, that Ke Heng, didn't he say that he was a martial artist before? He still wants to serve me, so let him go with me this time."

Lieutenant Wu Xian was particularly happy today. He went to Wanxiang Pavilion to have some fun in the evening. He was very generous and made the girl and the madam smile from ear to ear.

Early on the next morning, Wu County Lieutenant had a hurried meal, called the housekeeper, took fifteen servants, and dozens of county soldiers, and a group of nearly a hundred people marched toward Huangshui Township in a mighty manner.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, Liu He, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, Guan Yu, Cheng Liang, Ye Xiang, and Zhang Yu were all gathered in the courtyard, looking nervously waiting for something.

Not long after, a figure hurried over.

"Coming! Coming, coming..."

The man was running in a hurry and lost his mind. He tripped over the threshold and fell. Zhu Ye quickly went up to help him up.

"Really here?" Zhu Ye asked eagerly.

"Really! I've been waiting on the top of the mountain for a long time. I just saw the Wu County Captain riding a horse from a distance, and there was an old man riding a horse beside him. There were forty or fifty people behind them, and one of them was that Ke Heng!

They are coming this way together! I will quickly go down the mountain and take a path back to inform you!"

Everyone was overjoyed!

"This man named Wu is really greedy for money! Then let's not hesitate! He also brought Ke Heng with him, which saves us trouble!"

"For mercy's sake, let these two thieves come together!"

The six of them each picked up their weapons and ran out of the gate. After running wildly, they came to a forest.

The road leading from the county seat to Huangshui Township passes through the woods. Liu He, Cheng Liang and Ye Xiang took out cloths to cover their faces and lurked in the woods, while Zhu Ye, Guan Yu and Zhang Yong

He hid behind a small slope not far away.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of people appeared in their field of vision approaching from a distance. They looked intently, who could the leader be if he wasn't Wu County Lieutenant?

"Dog thief!"

Zhu Ye cursed softly and resisted the urge to kill.

The team walked slowly, Wu County Lieutenant was still humming a tune, his face was full of joy and he was very proud. Not far behind him, Ke Heng followed with a look of grievance.

"It's really unlucky. I wanted to encourage those bandits to rob Zhu's house and divide the property and have a good time for a while. I didn't expect that this man named Wu came in with help! Now I haven't gained anything, and I have offended Zhu for nothing.

Ye and the others don’t know if there will be any danger in coming here this time.”

No one knows what he thinks, and even if someone knows, they probably won't sympathize with him.

The housekeeper looked ahead, and the dense woods came into view.

"Sir, after walking through the forest ahead for another three miles, you will reach Huangshui Township. Then, after walking about four miles, you will reach Zhu's Mansion."

Lieutenant Wu Xian nodded and turned around to urge him.

"Go faster, how long will it take to get there? A bunch of losers!"

After scolding the soldiers behind him, Lieutenant Wu Xian clamped his legs together and drove the horse to speed up.

Although the servants and soldiers behind him were very dissatisfied, as Wu often deducted their wages and food, and everyone came hungry, they had no choice but to drag their tired bodies and trot to follow.
