C16 Salt Owl Trouble

The next morning, Hong Tianxiao brought Yang Yizhi to room 3 in the west wing.

"Who?" After all, he was a criminal under the imperial court and was wounded. Mao Shiba was nervous when he heard the knock on the door early in the morning. His right hand naturally held the knife by the pillow as he asked in a low voice.

"Brother Mao, I am Yang Yizhi." A voice that Mao Shiba would never forget came over.

"Ah!" A surprised voice came from the room, but no sound came out. After a while, the door creaked, Mao Shiba opened the door with a wooden stick in his right hand, "It really is Brother Yang, quickly, quickly come in. If it wasn't for Brother Yang saving me that day, I, Mao Shiba, would have been cut into pieces by those Gangsters a long time ago."

When Yang Yizhi heard this, he could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself, Help! That bastard did not want to get into that muddy water at that time. But how could he have met Young Religion Lord if he hadn't? Yang Yizhi found it funny to think that he seemed to be a real rebel now. Originally, Yang Yizhi had addressed Hong Tianxiao as his lord, but Hong Tianxiao felt awkward listening to him and insisted on not allowing him to call him "Young Religion Lord" or "Young Master".

When the three of them sat down, Mao Shiba looked at Hong Tianxiao and asked, "Brother Yang, may I ask who this is?" When Hong Tianxiao appeared, Mao Shiba had already walked far away, so he did not recognize him. Even before Mao Shiba left, Hong Tianxiao was wearing a mask, so Mao Shiba would not be able to recognize him now.

"Oh, this is my young master, his nickname is Hong Tianxiao."

"So it's Young Master Hong. Mao Shiba, I'm sorry for the disrespect." Although he said he was disrespectful, Mao Shiba actually didn't think much of Hong Tianxiao. Hong Tianxiao was handsome, and from the outside, he didn't look like a martial arts person. Mao Shiba had mistakenly assumed that Yang Yizhi was Hong Tianxiao's house general, and Hong Tianxiao was just a foppish young master who didn't know anything.

"Brother Mao's leg is still injured?" "Could it be that Brother Mao has encountered a Tattoo soldier in the past few days?" Yang Yizhi saw that Mao Shiba was still limping and remembered that his knife wound was even worse than the other one, but he had already recovered. Yang Yizhi was surprised, but he didn't know that Hong Tianxiao used Hu Qingniu's unique medical skills to treat him.

This is not true, but I, your brother, am a wanted criminal in the imperial government. Furthermore, in the battle a few days ago, so many soldiers died, so Yangzhou City was naturally heavily guarded, and your little brother did not dare to enter, only until yesterday when the city gates were relaxed did your little brother manage to enter. Mao Shiba did not know that ever since he had escaped, the situation had become even more intense. Even Cui Zhitong had died under the setting sun.

It was only then that Hong Tianxiao and Yang Yizhi understood. Since Mao Shiba couldn't enter Yangzhou City, naturally, he was able to buy the Gold Sore Medicine with his giant techniques. Thus, the rate at which he recovered from the leg injury was much slower.

"That day, Brother Yang saved my life. I was afraid that I would not be able to see Brother Yang again in the future, so I cannot repay this favor of saving my life." "Since brother Yang has come today, I, Mao Shiba, have finally let go of the heavy burden in my heart. With just one word from brother Yang, I, Mao Shiba, will never frown, no matter how sharp it is." Mao Shiba patted his chest heavily.

When Hong Tianxiao and Yang Yizhi heard this, they both thought, I, Yizhi, am so much better at martial arts than you are. If even I can't do it, how can you do it? However, he could only say this in his heart. If he were to speak of the situation on the table, Mao Shiba would probably be unable to bear it.

"Brother Mao is too polite. It is our duty to help out those who are practicing martial arts. Not to mention a man like Brother Mao, even a few unknown martial artists would come to our rescue." Yang Yizhi could not help but smile wryly inside. Back then, he saved Mao Shiba on the passive side and did not intend to do so. Now, he could only make a mistake.

"Haha, Brother Yang is truly a straightforward person. It is great that I, Mao Shiba, can have such a great hero." "Come, Brother Yang, let's stay in my room today, we won't leave until we're drunk." Mao Shiba was a reckless hero. Naturally, he had a straightforward and uninhibited personality.

Yang Yizhi and Mao Shiba exchanged their opinions, leaving Hong Tianxiao to the side. When Hong Tianxiao saw that Mao Shiba only treated him as an ordinary young master, he was not angry and thought to himself, "Once those Illegal Salt Dealer come, I'm afraid that you will no longer look down on me anymore." Suddenly, he thought, "Right now, Yang Yizhi and I are in Mao Shiba's room. I wonder if Mao Shiba will be able to help Jia Lao Liu."

Yang Yizhi chatted with Mao Shiba while secretly observing Hong Tianxiao's expression. He found that the latter didn't have the slightest bit of unhappiness on his face, so he was relieved.

After a while, the dishes were served, and Mao Shiba began toasting Yang Yizhi one cup after another. Yang Yizhi was worried that Hong Tianxiao wouldn't be happy, but Mao Shiba was too kind, so Yang Yizhi and Mao Shiba had to toast each other. Hong Tianxiao did not say anything at the side, but poured and drank by himself, waiting for the Illegal Salt Dealer to arrive.

About two hours later, there was a sudden clamor from outside, and at the same time, five or six people shouted in unison, "Friends from the various businesses in the courtyards, ladies, friends from the Flowers, listen carefully: we are here to find a person who has nothing to do with anyone else, and no one is allowed to make any noise or move about. Those who don't listen, don't blame us for being rude!"

Hong Tianxiao was secretly happy, this group of cute Illegal Salt Dealer really came.

Mao Shiba frowned. It was obvious that he was having a pleasant conversation with Yang Yizhi. The people outside had disturbed his mood. Hong Tianxiao hurriedly said, "I'll take a look outside. You two can continue chatting." With that, he got up and left the room. Mao Shiba had long since felt that Hong Tianxiao and the other two weren't on the same side. Seeing him take the initiative to leave, he naturally didn't stop him and let him go.

When Hong Tianxiao stepped out of the door, he saw the Beautiful Whorehouse were in an uproar, the women were shouting in surprise, and the man was muttering to himself. Although Ming Yu Square had eight courtyards, the owners of the eight courtyards were not just one person, but five people. The Beautiful Whorehouse and the Spring Laying Courtyard were the owners of one of the eight courtyards, and it was said that this person had an extraordinary relationship with Yangzhou. Therefore, even though the two courtyards had two Yangzhou s that were both pretty and charming, no one dared to take part in this life. This sudden turn of events truly made the people from the Beautiful Whorehouse feel helpless, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Hong Tianxiao looked down from the hallway on the second floor and saw that there were more than ten salt merchants sitting at three tables, each with a woman sitting beside them. Hearing the call, everyone's face changed drastically as they asked, "What's the matter?" "Who is it?" "Did the government come to investigate the case?" All of a sudden, the sound of drumming on the door rang out. Servant Gui was so frightened that he had no idea whether or not he should open the door.

Just at this moment, with a bang, the door was knocked open and seventeen or eighteen big men rushed in.
