After hearing this, the waiter stopped pretending.
He casually threw the towel on his shoulder onto the wooden table in front of Magistrate Chen, and coldly said in the direction of the back hall:
"Damn vulture, you must have heard what Mr. Chen just said, right?"
"Master Chen wants us to go into the mountains, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, a tall man with strong steps walked out of the back hall.
He was shirtless and had a huge scratch on his chest. Obviously, this should be a masterpiece left by the tiger in the mountains.
With a cruel smile on the corner of Bald Mountain Dove's lips, he strode up to County Magistrate Chen and said:
"Master Chen, when did you become as timid as you are now?"
"When you chose to cooperate with us, do you still remember what you said?"
Upon hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on County Magistrate Chen's face.
"Bald Mountain Dove, please don't use this matter to try to get in my way. As the saying goes, this moment is the other moment. The cooperation between us is over today."
"If you are willing to listen to my advice and surrender as soon as possible, that is the right way."
"Nai surrender?"
As if hearing something funny, the bald mountain dove looked up to the sky and laughed for a while.
The waiter next to him also laughed when he saw this.
But the next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly, and was replaced by the eerie voice of the bald mountain dove.
"County Magistrate Chen, if you want to withdraw, I, the Bald Shanjiu, will not stop you. But have you ever thought about how you can support the people of Xiong County if you don't rely on us?"
"Or do you think that the nobleman from Lao Shizi's capital is really that powerful?"
"The strong dragon has not suppressed the local snakes. If these young masters from the capital really dare to act recklessly in Xiong County, brothers, I don't mind letting them know what will happen if they offend me!"
Hearing this, the bitter smile on County Magistrate Chen's face became even stronger.
He spoke several times, but hesitated. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Bald Shanjiu, for the sake of our cooperation over the years, let me remind you again. The nobleman coming to the capital this time has an extraordinary status. I am afraid he can mobilize a real army in his hands."
It was better not to say this, but as soon as he said it, it caused the bald mountain dove to burst into laughter again.
"Old Chen, Old Chen, over the years, you have really become less and less courageous as you live. Do you still remember when we robbed the army three years ago? What did that general say?"
"In the end, why didn't you hold your nose and hand us the money to buy the road?"
"To put it bluntly, although there is no hiding place around our Xiong County, if we walk ten miles north, it will be a dangerous peak like a knife and an ax!"
"These military generals are not fools! If they really want to hunt us down, it might take a lot of time. It would save time and worry to pay for the journey with peace of mind."
After hearing what the other party said, County Magistrate Chen knew that his trip had been fruitless. He immediately stood up and planned to leave.
However, as soon as he stood up, he was directly pressed down by a big hand.
The waiter said with a smile:
"Master Chen, since you're already here, why don't you sit down for a while?"
"I think it's better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively. Xiong County is missing a county magistrate. Those distinguished guests from the capital will definitely not stand idly by, right?"
As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Chen immediately changed his expression.
He glared at Bald Mountain Dove angrily, with a hint of irritation in his tone.
"Bald Shanjiu, what do you want to do? Kidnap a court official. Do you know the consequences of doing so?"
"Besides, I have never betrayed you, so what do you have to worry about?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Chen, we are not worried about you."
The Bald Mountain Dove shook his head, but a cruel smile appeared on his cheeks.
"I heard that the distinguished guest from the capital was extremely generous! If he did this, wouldn't the brothers be able to live happily ever after?"
"As for you...as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will naturally not make things difficult for you. Of course, if you are ignorant, don't blame us for being ruthless. After all, we are bandits. What I said is right, Mr. Chen ?”
At this moment, County Magistrate Chen's face was extremely gloomy.
He seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely excited.
"Bald Shanjiu, you actually have spies in Xiong County?"
"Okay, but I underestimated you!"
"Okay, Magistrate Chen, it's been a long journey, so let's take a rest."
The bald mountain dove said and winked at the waiter beside him.
The waiter didn't hesitate and slashed Magistrate Chen on the back of the neck with his knife.
County Magistrate Chen felt his eyes darken and he fainted.
…
Time flies,
Yang Dong got up early and prepared to go shopping in Xiong County.
But at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from far and near.
"Sir, something bad has happened! County Magistrate Chen...he is missing!"
As soon as he said this, Yang Dong took the step he originally planned to take but took it back.
He stared at Liu Sanniang, whose chest was heaving violently in front of him, and said calmly:
"Don't panic first, tell me the whole story in detail."
"Did County Magistrate Chen leave the city yesterday? And when did he leave the city?"
Perhaps because of Yang Dong's calmness, Liu Sanniang's panicked mood calmed down slightly.
She gasped and said:
"It seems that County Magistrate Chen left the city yesterday afternoon. He went all the way north, possibly to persuade the Bald Shanjiu people to surrender."
"Sir, I know that your hands and eyes are astute, so please save the county magistrate!"
After hearing this, Yang Dong did not panic.
In fact, just based on the fact that County Magistrate Chen dared to go to the meeting alone, it is not difficult to see that he and these bandits should know each other.
Not only do they know each other, the relationship between the two parties should be quite harmonious.
In this case, Magistrate Chen should not be in any danger for the time being.
Yang Dong smiled faintly and suddenly his face turned serious.
"I'm afraid the relationship between County Magistrate Chen and those bandits is extraordinary, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Sanniang's expression immediately changed.
Her voice was trembling, and she stared at Yang Dong with a pale face and said with disbelief:
"Young Master...how do you know this!"
"Tell me what the relationship is between them. If you dare to hide anything, I will think that he is absconding out of fear of crime."
"Not only to save him, but also to issue a wanted order to arrest him, which is also in line with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Liu Sanniang came from a womanly family. Although she had experienced some scenes, she was still frightened by Yang Dong's words.
I saw her shaking her head and saying anxiously:
"Young Master has misunderstood. Magistrate Chen is a good person. He is a good person, not the same as those bandits!"
"Sir, please save him!"
