Yue Xiangfen's face sank, and she shouted: "Then I'll have to take you to the Yamen!" As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the sword. Although Yue Xiang'er was very afraid of Lin Feng's martial arts, Lin Feng's tone and attitude were really unacceptable to her.
Yue Xiang is not only strong in martial arts, but also decisive and capable. Therefore, although she is a girl, she must be a catcher. Her father, Yue Zhen, who was the head catcher, had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, Yue Xiang solved several major cases and captured several very powerful criminal thieves alive. Within a few months, Yue Xiang became famous. The political figures in the capital area changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Yue Xiang was in high spirits, so naturally he couldn't tolerate Ma Xiang's dismissive attitude. But although she was angry, she did not lose her mind. She was really not sure that she could defeat Ma Xiang, so she had to draw her sword first just in case something unexpected happened. When the policemen behind her saw this, they did not dare to neglect and drew their swords one after another.
When Ma Xiang saw that Yue Xiang and others were facing a formidable enemy, he couldn't help but smile and said: "You want to take action? You'd better think about it. I have a habit. If you don't take action, you will live or die if you do. Just now Those five people just refused to listen to my good advice and insisted on taking action, and ended up dying!" After saying that, he was about to go forward.
Seeing that the two sides were at war, a fight was about to begin. Bai Xue was shocked. She had just witnessed Ma Xiang's attacks as fast as lightning and his unpredictable martial arts. She estimated that even if there were many people, Yue Xiang and others would not be able to defeat him.
Although Yue Xiang has a very cold attitude towards her, and Bai Xue also knows that Yue Xiang has never had a good impression of the Niu family, Bai Xue does not want Yue Xiang to be harmed. Bai Xue himself couldn't figure out the reason for this.
Bai Xue quickly walked in front of Ma Xiang, stood between Ma Xiang and Yue Xiang, and said hurriedly: "You guys have something to say, please wait and do it." Yue Xiang did not give Bai Xue any face, and said coldly: "Niu Da Miss, this is not your Bainiu family, it’s not your turn to give orders, so please don’t meddle in other people’s business.”
Bai Xue was not angry, but still said softly: "Miss Yue, what you said is wrong. This matter happened because of me, how can you say that I am nosy? This young hero killed these five people to save us. The evil people are acting chivalrously. Miss Yue should not treat them as murderers. If this matter spreads, it will not only damage the girl's reputation, but also have a great impact on the reputation of the government."
Bai Xue paused for a moment, then turned to Ma Xiang and said, "Brother Ma, you are trying to eliminate evil and promote good. Our sisters will explain the situation to the Yamen. I believe the prefect will handle it impartially and will not embarrass you."
Ma Xiang shook his head and said, "Miss Bai Xue, you don't need to be escorted by me now that you have a policeman accompanying you down the mountain. I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now!" Then, Ma Xiang turned around and said to Yue Xiang: " Miss Yue, if you want me to follow you to the Yamen, it depends on whether you can catch up with me!"
As soon as Ma Xiang finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and reached the top of a nearby big tree. Then Ma Xiang started Qinggong and ran towards the top of the mountain. Seeing this, Yue Xiang also flew up and chased after him. However, Yue Xiang's Qinggong was far inferior to Ma Xiang's, and Ma Xiang disappeared soon after. Yue Xiang had no choice but to return in frustration.
Lin Feng ran for a while, but when he saw Yue Xiang'er didn't catch up, he stopped his Qing Gong. He followed the mountain road back to the medical center.
After Feiyun heard this, he asked Ma Xiang if Niu Baixue was a family member of the bully in the gambling house. Ma Xiang shook his head and said he didn't ask at all.
Early the next morning, Ma Xiang left the hospital alone and wandered around the streets of Beijing. There are shops on both sides of the street, with a wide variety of items. At this time, the sun was rising, the shops were all open, and there were many pedestrians, so it naturally became lively.
Ma Xiang rarely leaves Huashan, and this is his first time in such a big city. He slowed down and walked slowly, watching with interest while asking for the detailed road to Bainiu Mansion.
The Niu family is very famous and is the home of Niu Ba. The girl Bai Xue that Ma Xiang met was Niu Ba's daughter. The Niu family is in a very prosperous area, and naturally everyone in the city knows about it, so Ma Xiang arrived in front of Baifu smoothly.
The Niu family is indeed a famous family, very large and very impressive. Standing at the gate of his house were four sturdy men in the same clothes. They had steel knives hanging on their waists, looking majestic.
Ma Xiang came here to get to know the Niu family. He had a good impression of Bai Xue and wanted to know what was going on with her family. Ma Xiang walked around Niu Mansion and looked at it carefully. This Niu Mansion is an independent mansion, surrounded by high walls, so you can't see what's going on inside.
Niu Mansion occupies a very large area, and it took Ma Xiang nearly two hours to observe the terrain. It was almost noon, and when it was time for dinner, I heard that the nearby Zuixian Restaurant was very famous and doing a booming business. Ma Xiang thought that this restaurant was close to Bai Mansion, and he might be able to find out something there, so he came to the restaurant.
Since it was lunch time, the restaurant was crowded with guests. Ma Xiang went in and saw that all the seats in the hall were full. A waiter came over and asked Ma Xiang to come back later. Ma Xiang was unwilling to accept it and looked around. He saw a young scholar sitting at a table in the corner. He seemed to be a local. There was no food on the table, just a pot of tea.
Ma Xiang thought for a while, then went straight to the scholar, bowed his hands and said, "Brother, excuse me!" Seeing this, the scholar hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "Brother, you're welcome. I don't know if you have any advice. ?”
He said: "I came to the capital for the first time, and I heard that Zuixian Restaurant's delicacies are famous all over the city, so I really want to have a feast. But I came down late and there is no room available. If you don't mind, brother, I hope I can be the host. I invite you to have lunch with me. What do you think of it?"
The scholar was a little surprised and looked at Ma Xiang carefully. Seeing that Ma Xiang was also dressed as a scholar, and although his appearance was ordinary, he had an extraordinary bearing, so he said: "Brother, since I have just come to the capital for the first time, I am the landlord, so naturally I will be the host. Please sit down!" Ma Xiang thanked him and joined the scholar. sit down. The scholar called the waiter over, ordered a few more dishes, and ordered a jug of wine.
Ma Xiang said to the scholar: "I'm Ma Xiang, thank you so much. I don't know what you call me." The scholar said: "Brother Ma, you are welcome. I am Zhang Nan." Where did Brother Ma come from? He must have something important to deal with. "
Ma Xiang replied: "I have been ordered by my elders to travel around the world. I heard that the capital is the most prosperous and wealthy city in the Central Plains, so I want to come and see it. From the accent, Brother Zhang should be a local. Please give me some advice!" Zhang Nan said : "You don't dare to give advice to a junior student. But if you have any questions, as long as I know them, I will tell you everything."
Ma Xiang smiled slightly and took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang. On the way here just now, I saw a large mansion nearby. It was large and impressive. I wonder what prince's mansion it is?" When Zhang Nan heard this, he knew that Ma Xiang was referring to Bai Bai. family, said: "Brother Ma, you guessed wrong. This is not the home of a prince, but one of the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, the Niu family, a gambling house." Then Zhang Nan gave a brief introduction to the Niu family.
At this time, the waiter brought the wine and food. Ma Xiang raised his glass, paid tribute to Zhang Nan, and said a lot of compliments. Zhang Nan was overjoyed and drank happily. Before long, he was half-drunk, and his conversation became more and more intense.
Ma Xiang went on to say: "This Mr. White Niu has a lot of wealth. He must have many wives and concubines, all of them young and beautiful." Zhang Nan squinted his drunken eyes and said: "Mr. Niu is naturally very handsome and blessed, and indeed he has many wives and concubines. He has eight in total. Madam, but four of them are over forty years old." Lin Feng said: "With Mr. Bainiu having such a prominent family background, his wife naturally comes from a famous family."
Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong. Although Mr. Niu's first wife was born in a wealthy family, she was sterile and old and beautiful, so she was not favored by the master. The other wives were all born Most of the poor families were forced to marry into the Bai family because of their beauty. However, the good times did not last long, and most of them were only favored for a few years, and then were replaced by new people. This is human nature, and Mr. Niu especially likes the new and dislikes the old. "
Ma Xiang felt a little strange and asked, "Brother Zhang, why are you so familiar with the Bai family?"
Zhang Nan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lin doesn't know. My father is a doctor and often goes to Bainiu Mansion to treat their diseases. I also often go to Niu Mansion with my father, so I know them better."
Ma Xiang asked again: "I heard that Mr. Niu had a wife named Mo. She was very beautiful when she was young. I don't know if she was."
Zhang Nan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Bainiu's fourth wife is indeed named Mo. She rarely sees outsiders, and I have never seen her. Her daughter is indeed very beautiful..."
When Zhang Nan said this, he suddenly stopped and said to Ma Xiang: "Brother Ma, please come with me!" Then he stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Ma Xiang looked in the direction he was walking in surprise and saw two girls coming down the stairs, Bai Xue in white and Lu Ye in green. If it were anyone else, Ma Xiang would naturally ignore it. But Bai Xue was also from the Niu family. Ma Xiang thought that he might be able to find out something from Bai Xue, so he followed him.
Zhang Nan greeted Bai Xue and Lu Ye with a smile on his face, raised his hands and saluted, "Miss, I didn't expect to meet you here. Zhang Nan is so polite!" When Bai Xue saw it was Zhang Nan, she frowned and returned the salute coldly, Said: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, I'm glad to meet you." Bai Xue glanced at Zhang Nan, then turned to look outside the restaurant.
Although Bai Xue's attitude was indifferent, Zhang Nan didn't care and still said enthusiastically: "Miss Niu, since we are destined to meet each other, can we sit down and chat for a while? I just made a new friend, Ma Xiang, and I am about to introduce him to him. you know."
Bai Xue didn't want to pay too much attention to Zhang Nan and was about to leave. Suddenly she heard the word "Ma Xiang" and couldn't help but look behind Zhang Nan in surprise. Sure enough, she saw Ma Xiang standing not far away.
Bai Xue was overjoyed and saluted Ma Xiang and said, "Brother Ma, are you here too? My father has already learned about the rescue yesterday. My father told me to invite him to my humble home. My younger sister wanted to go look for him tomorrow, but... I didn't expect to meet him near his home." Lu Ye also looked happy and followed Bai Xue to give Ma Xiang a salute.
Ma Xiang returned the gift lightly and said: "Girl, it's just a little effort, so why should you take it to heart? Since you two girls have finished your meal, please go to your own devices!" Ma Xiang had already seen that Zhang Nan was interested in Luo Hua, but Bai Xue Liu Shui was ruthless. . Zhang Nan didn't expect that Bai Xue not only knew Lin Feng, but also seemed to admire Ma Xiang very much, so he was embarrassed and could only stand aside silently.
Ma Xiang's attitude was cold, but Bai Xue pretended not to notice, and still asked enthusiastically: "Brother Ma, since you haven't finished eating yet, I'll wait for you. Anyway, I have nothing to do today." When Zhang Nan had the opportunity to answer, He said hurriedly: "Miss Niu, we have finished eating and are about to leave. No need to wait, we will go out together. Man, let's settle the score!"
Ma Xiang saw Zhang Nan's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Zhang, we just agreed that I will treat you, how can I ask you to pay the bill!" Bai Xue smiled softly and said: "Brother, these two expenses are recorded. It's in my account." The waiter responded and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ma Xiang and Zhang Nan said in unison: "How can we let the lady spend money?" Bai Xue said lightly: "Why bother about trivial matters. This place is too narrow, let's talk outside, don't affect the restaurant's business! "After that, he walked out.
Zhang Nan hurriedly pulled Ma Xiang and followed him out of the restaurant. The four of them came outside. Bai Xue glanced at Zhang Nan and frowned. Luye understood and said to Zhang Nan: "Mr. Zhang, my young lady has something to say to Brother Ma. You should go and do your own business!" Zhang Nan was naturally unwilling and said hesitantly: "I have nothing to do. I hope I can be of service to you, Miss."
Luye's face darkened and he said, "If there is anything I can do for you, my lady, leave quickly and don't delay my lady's affairs." Seeing Luye's anger and Bai Xue's face looking ugly, Zhang Nan had no choice but to agree repeatedly and turn around to leave.
Ma Xiang also looked down upon Zhang Nan's words and deeds just now. In addition, having this person following him would indeed affect his ability to inquire about the Niu family, so he stood aside silently.
When Zhang Nan walked away, Ma Xiang asked Bai Xue: "I wonder what Miss Bai Xue has to say?" Bai Xue's face turned slightly red and said softly: "Brother Ma is not familiar with the capital, and I want to be a guide for you. , I wonder if it’s okay?” Ma Xiang was not polite and said: “You are such a helpful girl, but it seems that there is no need to drive Mr. Zhang away!”
Luye said: "Brother Ma doesn't know something. This is a toad that wants to eat swan meat. The young lady never wanted to talk to him, so the maid had to ask him to leave." Bai Xue scolded softly: "Luye, don't hurt others with your words. Brother Ma, we Let’s go!” Lu Ye pouted and said no more.
As the three of them walked, Bai Xue introduced them enthusiastically. Ma Xiang was naturally not interested in any shops or scenic spots, but carefully noted down the street routes. After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the entrance of a theater.
Hearing the sound of piano and wind music coming from inside, Luye said: "Miss, we have been walking for such a long time, why don't we go to the theater and take a rest, okay?" Bai Xue turned to Ma Xiang and said: "Brother Lin, it just happened. A famous opera troupe nearby recently performed here, how about we go and have a look?"
Ma Xiang looked at Bai Xue and Lu Ye and saw that they were sweating on their foreheads, flushed, and out of breath. He knew that they were indeed tired, so he nodded.
