Chapter 9 The eighth time Mai Laoguang and his roast duck

There are only more than 300 families in the mountain city, and now every family has lit their lights and opened their doors, as if welcoming the God of Wealth. It's just that what they welcome is not the God of Wealth, but the God of Plague. Dozens of people wearing red tasseled caps and soap suits, with knives in their waists and torches in their hands, searched from house to house. When Yan Qi and Guo Dalu got off the mountain, they met the Golden Retriever Lion, who was standing on the street with his hands behind his back, yelling around, just like a general commanding the battlefield.

Guo Dalu went up to meet him, and said with a smile, "General Jin is going to turn this place into a battlefield?" The Golden Retriever's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, but when he saw him coming, he smiled and said: "This is a last resort, otherwise we will never dare to disturb the good people." Yan Qi said: "Since you know you are a good citizen, why bother?" The Golden Retriever sighed: "We only know that the stolen goods are still in the town and have not been transported away, but we don't know which house it is hidden in? So we had to send all the police officers from the eighteen nearby counties here to investigate from house to house. "

He smiled again, and continued: "As long as we can find out where the stolen goods are, Feng Qiwu will never be able to escape again this time." Guo Dalu said: "So, we won't be able to enter the town?" The Golden Retriever's eyes flickered, and he said, "What are you two doing in the town so late at night?" Guo Dalu said: "Drink." The Golden Retriever said, "Drinking at Mai Lao Guang's shop?" Guo Dalu said: "Well, the wine on the mountain has been drunk, and our alcohol addiction is not over yet." The Golden Retriever laughed and said, "We searched that place in the middle of the night, and only found one ingot of gold. You two can just go now, please."

He gestured to the policemen patrolling the street, and he also stepped out of the way. After walking for a while, Yan Qi said with a smile: "It seems that he is very satisfied with you." Guo Dalu laughed and said, "That's because he can't even figure out my details." Yan Qi also laughed, and said: "The names you mentioned are really all your masters?" Guo Dalu said: "This is not false at all." Yan Qi said: "Although your martial arts are not very good, they still can't teach an apprentice like you." Guo Dalu said: "What I learned is not their strengths, but their weaknesses."

Yan Qi frowned and said, "Shortcomings?" Guo Dalu said: "If I see any flaws and shortcomings in their martial arts, I will try my best to avoid them. This is called: threesomes, there must be my teacher, no matter who you are, you can learn something." Yan Qi glanced at him and said, "I don't see that you are quite knowledgeable." Guo Dalu said seriously: "In front of you, I don't need to be humble, my knowledge is already very great." Yan Qi couldn't help laughing again, and asked, "Then where did you learn your strengths?" Guo Dalu said: "Did I ask you about the soles of your boots? Did I ask why you died seven times?"

Yan Qi said: "No." Guo Dalu said: "Then why do you ask me?" ※※※ Mai Laoguang is an old bachelor. There are only four rooms in the shop, big and small. One is the front shop, one is the kitchen, and the other is where he sleeps. The most important one is at the back, his barbecue room. The door of this room is always closed, because Mai Laoguang's barbecue lo mei is also a "unique secret recipe", if someone secretly learns it, his job will be ruined. When Yan Qi and the others came, Mai Laoguang was in the barbecue room. Although the door was closed, bursts of tangy aroma had leaked out from the crack of the door.

Guo Dalu swallowed, and said loudly: "Old Guang, business is coming, why don't you come out soon?" After a while, Mai Laoguang came out, covered in oil, as if he had just rolled in a pile of lard. Seeing Guo Dalu, there was a smile on his impatient face, and he said: "Everyone can't sleep tonight, business must be good at daylight, so I specially roasted dozens of ducks, so I can be busier than usual. " Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Lao Guang, you have no son and no wife, and you live so frugally that you don't even want to buy new clothes. What are you doing with so much money?"

Mai Laoguang said: "My land is rolling around in oil all day long, so what's the point of asking for new shirts? Moreover, the money department is not afraid of spending too much, the more the better." Yan Qi also laughed, and said: "What he said is honest." Mai Laoguang said: "Of course honest people tell the truth." Guo Dalu said: "Mai Laoguang is really an honest man. I heard that he has been here for more than ten years, and he hasn't even been to the Stone Lane behind the Monument of Chastity of Widow Zhao once." Yan Qi said, "Where is Stone Lane?"

Guo Dalu smiled and said: "Stone Lane is a good place, not only are there beautiful women like clouds, but also gentle and considerate." Yan Qi glanced at him and said, "Have you been there?" Guo Dalu said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that every time I get drunk, I forget about it." Yan Qi said: "Why didn't you go when you were sober?" Guo Dalu said: "I dare not go when I am awake." Yan Qi said coldly: "Would you dare?" Guo Dalu said: "I'm afraid those beauties will never let me go after seeing a handsome man like me."

Yan Qi couldn't help laughing again, and said, "That kind of place is set up behind someone's chastity archway, do you think it's going to make people mad?" Mai Laoguang said: "It's so late, you two still want to drink?" Guo Dalu said: "He wants to come and eat your freshly baked roast duck." Mai Laoguang said: "Okay, I'll go and pick up a fat cat." He turned around and walked in, Guo Dalu actually followed behind, said: "I will also go to the back to have a look." Mai Laoguang stopped and said, "The backside is dirty and dirty, what's there to see?"

Guo Dalu said: "I'm not afraid of getting dirty, anyway, I'm already dirty enough." Yan Qi sighed: "If he must go, you'd better let him go, otherwise, even if he hangs around until the day after tomorrow, he still has to go." Mai Laoguang also laughed, and said: "It's dark and misty in the back, you have to be careful when you walk." The yard behind it was really dark. The barbecue room is at the end of the yard, and it is also a dark room. Mai Laoguang staggered and walked very slowly. Guo Dalu smiled and said: "Looking at the way you walk, it seems that you have also been drinking." Mai Laoguang said: "It's freezing tonight, I only drank two cups, I already seem a little drunk..." He staggered suddenly, as if he was about to fall. Guo Dalu just wanted to reach out to help, but Mai Laoguang suddenly turned around, like a dragon sailing out of the sea, turning over like a kite, his vigor and lightness are beyond description. Just as Guo Dalu stretched out his hand, he had already seized the pulse door. Yan Qi never dreamed that this old man, who seemed to fall when he was walking, suddenly became so frightening that he wanted to rush over in shock. Mai Laoguang said in a deep voice: "Stop, or he will die." This sentence came out with a standard northern accent, not even a bit of Cantonese flavor. Yan Qi was stunned, and lost her voice: "You...you are..." Guo Dalu smiled and said: "He is Feng Qiwu, the one who moved the box from under our bed, don't you think of it?" Others have been restrained and their lives are at stake, yet they are still smiling and don't care at all. Mai Laoguang said coldly: "Yes, I am Feng Qiwu, how do you know?" Guo Dalu said: "I was just guessing randomly, because apart from the stick, the golden lion, the man in black, and the four of us, only you know that we have gold hidden in this place, and only you have the opportunity to take advantage of us. When slowly going up the mountain, rush to remove the box first." Feng Qiwu sneered. Guo Dalu said: "Also, since you have been 'wronged' by them, of course they will no longer suspect you now, not to mention, no one can enter your barbecue room, it would be best to hide the box there." Feng Qiwu said: "Is there any more?" Guo Dalu said: "The golden lion has the sharpest nose. Since he has seen you, he can't hide your smell from his nose. That's why you came to this business on purpose." He shrugged his nose and took a long breath, before continuing: "Because no matter what the smell of anyone is, it will never be as strong as roast duck, even women with body odor." Feng Qiwu said: "Is there any more?" Guo Dalu said: "Also, I heard that Feng Qiwu is a penny-pinching stingy, even if it is stolen money, he is reluctant to spend it, even a wife; You are more stingy than you, and you are reluctant to eat the new wine and meat, but eat the leftovers we have left over." He suddenly laughed, and continued: "I just now realized that your Feng Qiwu's name is really wonderful. Lin Bu is a plum wife and a crane son, and your wife is yourself, so it is called 'Zhu Wu'." He seemed to appreciate his sense of humor so much that he laughed until tears rolled down his face. No one else laughed, nor could they. Feng Qiwu looked at him coldly, and after he finished laughing, he said coldly: "Is there any more?" Guo Dalu said: "No, these are enough, the three things add up, so Feng Qiwu is Mai Laoguang, and Mai Laoguang is Feng Qiwu." Feng Qiwu said: "Unexpectedly, a bastard like you can be smart at times." Guo Dalu said: "Even the most stupid person will be smart once or twice in his life, not to mention that I am a genius, but occasionally I just pretend to be confused." Feng Qiwu said: "Do you want to go to my barbecue room?" Guo Dalu said: "I thought about it." Feng Qiwu said: "Okay, go in." Guo Dalu said: "I thought about it at first, but now I don't want to, because I don't want to be hung on a rack like a duck to roast." Feng Qiwu sneered and said, "It's a pity, it's up to you to go or not now." Yan Qi said: "It's useless if you kill him, and me, I can still pass on your secret." Feng Qiwu said: "If he goes in, you will naturally follow, because you will never let go of the chance to save your friend. I have lived to be fifty or sixty years old, at least you can see this." Yan Qi gritted his teeth, even his eyes were red, let alone a veteran in his fifties or sixties, even a three-year-old child could tell how much he cared about Guo Dalu. Guo Dalu laughed loudly, and said: "If you have a confidant in life, you will have no regrets in death. With such a good friend, life and death don't matter, it's just..." Feng Qiwu said: "Just what?" Guo Dalu said: "I know you will never kill us." Feng Qiwu said: "Why?" Guo Dalu said: "Because it's useless even if you kill us both." Feng Qiwu said: "Oh?" Guo Dalu said: "Not only Boss Wang knows that we are coming to you, but the Golden Retriever Lion also knows that if we suddenly disappeared, how could they not suspect it?" Feng Qiwu said: "That's for the future." Guo Dalu said: "Since you don't care, why don't you kill me now?" Feng Qiwu said: "Anyway, no one will come here, I don't need to be in such a hurry." Guo Dalu said: "You haven't done anything yet, it's because you still can't make up your mind, I know you are always a very careful person, it's not a sure thing, you will never do it." Yan Qi suddenly said: "As long as you let him go, we might be able to keep the secret for you." Feng Xiwu's eyes flickered, he looked like an old fox. The problem of the old fox is that he is too suspicious, not only doubting others, but also doubting himself. Guo Dalu said leisurely: "You know, I'm not interested in catching thieves, I just don't like being cheated by others." Only one person laughed and said: "No one likes being cheated by others." This is the voice of the Golden Retriever. In the voice, the golden lion, the stick, and the man in black have slowly entered the yard. At the same moment, torches were held high on the four walls, dozens of policemen drew their bows and unsheathed their knives, and surrounded the small courtyard. Feng Qiwu's face glowed, did he know it was oil?Is sweat?A sudden backhand swing. He swung Guo Dalu's heavy body out and rushed towards the golden lion and the man in black. Feng Qiwu's man seemed to have turned into an arrow, shot out with a "swish", and in the blink of an eye, he had already swept up the ridge of the house, grabbed two knives, "Phoenix spreads its wings". In a flash of the saber, two police officers had already fallen from the room, and in a flash again, Feng Xiwu was already three feet away. This giant thief who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades and has done countless major crimes really has something beyond human reach. Not only is he fast, he is fast, and he is good at seizing opportunities. This is his first chance and his last chance. Even if the man in black, the golden lion's lightness skill is better than him, if he is blocked by the rushing Guo Dalu, he will never be able to catch up with him. Suddenly heard a low voice: "Go down." Suddenly two people appeared behind the ridge, blocking Feng Xiwu's way. One of them seemed to just wave his hand, and Feng Qiwu was shaken out, staggered back on the ridge of the house, backed up the same way, fell down the yard with a "bang", and fell right on top of the two policemen. The two people behind the ridge swept lightly, and they also fell into the courtyard. One had an indifferent face, showing neither emotion nor anger, and the other was gentle and delicate like a young girl. Wang Dong and Lin Taiping also came. As soon as Guo Dalu stood firm, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Our Boss Wang really has some tricks." Wang Dong said: "It's not me." If it wasn't him, it would naturally be Lin Taiping. This little girl-like person actually has such great abilities? No one can see it, but they can't help but believe it. At this time, Feng Qiwu was tied up like a rice dumpling. The golden retriever let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "After tracking for twenty years, I finally caught this fox today." Guo Dalu said: "The stolen goods must be in the barbecue room, they can be moved out at any time." The Golden Retriever smiled and said: "This is what makes people get all the stolen goods. It really is a consummation of merit and virtue." Guo Dalu said: "You don't need to thank me, if you must thank him, then thank him." He pointed at Lin Taiping and said with a smile: "Although my friend looks handsome, he looks like a big water tank when he drinks." The golden retriever glanced at the stick, and said, "We should really thank them. How can you thank them?" With a sullen face, the stick said, "Take it down, take it all down." Guo Dalu almost jumped up and said, "What did you say?" The stick said in a deep voice: "These four people stole the stolen goods, even if they are not Feng Qiwu's accomplices, they are also gangsters! Bring them all back to me, and torture them severely. I'm not afraid that he won't recruit." Guo Dalu was so angry that his stomach would explode.He was so angry that he laughed instead, and said, "I want to see who dares to touch me." Stick said sharply: "How dare you resist arrest." Wang Dong suddenly said: "Don't dare." The stick said: "Since you don't dare, you can tie your hands if you don't want to." Wang Dong said: "Although we dare not resist arrest, it's a pity that you are not a fast arrester, but a robber." Yan Qi said: "Worse than robbers." Wang Dong said: "You are following Feng Qiwu so hard, not for his people at all, but for his money." Yan Qi said: "How much is a headhunter's monthly salary? Can he afford you? With the suit on Uncle Jin's body, I'm afraid even a general can't afford to wear it." Wang Dong said: "What's more, it will cost a lot to hire a professional assassin like this black man. Naturally, the government will not pay this kind of money." Yan Qi said: "But there are a lot of stolen goods. There are thieves everywhere in the world, so the stolen goods are inexhaustible." Wang Dong said: "The little thief might as well take it back and ask for credit for the reward, but for a big thief like Feng Qiwu, why not just keep it by himself." Yan Qi said: "For a thief like this, if you catch one, you can eat it for at least two or three years." Wang Dong said: "But keep us, there will always be a day when the news will leak out, so it's better to simply kill and silence the rumors." Yan Qi said: "Although what they did was worse than robbers, they did not violate the law. This is really wonderful." Wang Dong said: "I have said a long time ago that it's interesting to eat black food, I'm afraid it's just that it gets in the nose." When the two teamed up together, even Guo Dalu and Lin Taiping were stunned when they heard about this kind of shady activities in the arena. He really didn't know as much as Yan Qi and the others. The stick almost wanted to attack, but was stopped by the golden retriever. After they finished speaking, the Golden Retriever laughed and said, "What you said is not wrong at all, I admit it all." Pointing to the stick, he smiled and said, "This man lives in Jinan, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Tianjin, each of which has a family, and each has a wife. How can he support him with just a headhunter's salary? " Stick said with a straight face: "Your wife is no less than me." Guo Dalu said angrily: "It's a pity that your wives are going to be widows." The Golden Retriever laughed and said, "Do you know why I told you these things." Pointing to the wall, he said: "There are thirty strong bows and forty sharp knives here. These people are my dead brothers. Will they let you go?" Stick said coldly: "It's not a good feeling to die with random arrows piercing the heart." The Golden Retriever said: "What's more, there is this black man whom I spared no expense to hire." He smiled, and continued: "Of course you also know that his surname is not Hei, and his sword can at least deal with two or three of you, so I think you might as well be more obedient, at least die more happily." Guo Dalu said angrily: "Fart your mother." The Golden Retriever changed color and said: "Kill him first, and follow suit with respect." The man in black had been standing by with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said, "Who do you want to kill him?" The Golden Retriever said, "Of course it's you." Stick said: "If you kill one, you will get three hundred taels of gold." The man in black said: "Okay!" He suddenly drew his sword backhand, and with a flash, the sword pierced into the shoulder of the golden-haired lion. Not a long sword, but a short sword. In the four-foot-long scabbard, there was nothing but a one-foot-seven-inch long dagger. The Golden Retriever was not an easy character to deal with. Not only did he not expect the man in black to attack him, but he also did not expect such a short sword. The stick was shocked and shouted: "Shoot!" In the sound of drinking, his figure has been swept away. But how could others let him go. Guo Dalu, Yan Qi, the two clamped upwards, and the stick rushed out obliquely. Wang Dong didn't move at first. Now it suddenly moved, only once. The accuracy and speed of this movement is simply indescribable. Stick felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if there were a pair of handcuffs on his hands. The people on the wall roared, throwing their bows, throwing their knives, and all of them escaped in the blink of an eye. The benefits they got were not worth their efforts. Then, everyone stared at the man in black, and no one knew what was going on with this man. The Golden Retriever's eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "You took my gold, but bit me back, you are worse than a dog." The man in black said flatly, "I'm not a dog in the first place." The golden-haired lion said: "I've heard for a long time that 'Jiandi Wandering Soul' Nangong Chou is a good man, and he says what he says. That's why we spared no expense to invite you here. Who knows that a man who hunts wild geese all day long was pecked in the eye by wild geese today." The man in black said: "You are already blind." The Golden Retriever said: "You...you..." The man in black said: "Do you think I'm really Nangong Chou?" The Golden Retriever said, "Aren't you Nangong Chou?" The man in black said: "He is also a person who only seeks trouble, but this time he is here specifically to trouble you." The Golden Retriever said, "Who are you?" The man in black said: "Your immediate superior, the admiral, has already known that you have something wrong, so he specially invited me to investigate what kind of tricks you have." He let out a short and sharp sneer, and continued: "Now that you have confessed your crimes yourself, and you have all the real evidence, isn't this also called getting all the stolen goods and consummating merits and virtues?" The golden retriever stared at him, unable to say another word. Only then did the man in black bow his hands to Wang Dong and the others, and said with a smile: "There are scum in every line of work, and there are no exceptions in the six doors. But when you see the police next time, don't think that everyone Same as them." Guo Dalu smiled and said: "To be honest, I almost became a catcher." The man in black said: "Today's matter is all thanks to the generous help of the four people. I want to take these three people back now." Yan Qi said: "Please go ahead." Guo Dalu patted Feng Xiwu's shoulder suddenly, and said with a smile: "Actually, it will be more comfortable to go to prison, and you won't need to spend a penny then." Feng Qiwu rolled his eyes, besides rolling his eyes, what else could he do? The man in black said: "As for the stolen goods..." Guo Dalu said: "Of course the stolen goods should be put into the warehouse and confiscated." The man in black said: "Actually, the four of you should have solved this case. It's reasonable, and you should get 30% from the stolen goods as your reward. As long as the four of you are willing to take a trip to Fucheng with me... ..." Before he finished speaking, Wang Dong rushed to say: "No need." If you want him to go back and forth for gold, he won't do it if you kill his head.Guo Dalu, Yan Qi, and Lin Taiping did not do either.In their eyes, there are many things in the world that are much more important than money. Guo Dalu smiled and said: "These things are useless except for bringing us a lot of trouble. As long as your Excellency is willing to allocate the ducks in this barbecue room to us as a reward, we will appreciate it very much." dawn.The city was silent again, the wind was still blowing, and the snow was still falling.There are some things in the world that nothing else can change.So do some people. Now is the time for the duck to roast.Guo Dalu tore open a duck, ready to eat it.Suddenly, seven or eight finger-sized emeralds fell from the duck's belly.Everyone's eyes are round.Then tear the duck apart, and the belly is filled with agate.Of the thirty or forty ducks, there are about a dozen of them with something in their belly. Yan Qi blinked, and suddenly said: "I understand." Guo Dalu said: "You understand?" Yan Qi said: "Feng Qiwu originally wanted to hide the valuable jewels in the duck's belly and transport them away, so as to hide them from others, but we broke in, so he only stuffed a small half." Guo Dalu said: "It makes sense." Yan Qi said: "That black man doesn't know how much the stolen goods are, even if he counts them, he can't count them." Guo Dalu said: "It makes sense." Yan Qi smiled and said: "Why are you pretending to be confused, you already knew this truth." Guo Dalu blinked and said, "I know?" Yan Qi said: "If you don't know, why do you want people to leave the duck to you?" Guo Dalu sighed and said, "If you must think like this, I can't help it." He suddenly smiled again, and said: "Anyway, it's reasonable, he should offer 30% as our reward, this kind of money won't hurt integrity, and if we don't spend it, it's useless." Yan Qi stared at him, shook her head and said, "Sometimes I really can't figure you out." Guo Dalu said: "Oh?" Yan Qi said: "I really can't guess whether you are really smart or really stupid?" Wang Dong said leisurely: "When you say he is stupid, he is very smart, but when you say he is smart, he is actually confused." This is also the conclusion.
