Chapter 156: Severed Fingers
Early in the morning, Tao Xueming returned to the county seat with Bao Zhipeng.
After coming back, the first thing Tao Xueming did was to go to the reservoir to take a look.
When he came to the reservoir, he found that the water was full of fish one by one, and the fish fry that used to be had basically grown up.
The small ones are one or two catties, the big ones are three or four catties, and even more than five or six catties.
Now these fish have to eat a lot of feed every day, and they can't afford to raise them anymore.
After Tao Xueming looked at a few fish ponds, he took a deep breath, he knew that now these fish should almost be sold.
Then, Tao Xueming turned around and went back to the store.
Walking into the store, Tao Xueming saw Xiang Yuhang playing Contra with a child, he patted the other party on the shoulder and said that he was back.
"Brother Tao Zi, Chunchun is steaming steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"
"No, I've eaten it. ”
"I'll check the ledger. ”
Tao Xueming opened the drawer, took out the account book, and went back to the room to read.
opened the first page, it was written very clearly, Tao Xueming read it carefully.
After reading a few pages, Tao Xueming felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Because this account is also very well written, every income and expenditure is very detailed, and there is no problem at all.
But the more this is the case, the more Tao Xueming is suspicious.
"Brother Tao Zi, are you back?"
"I earned steamed buns, just baked, do you want to eat them?"
Chunchun looked at him with a smile and said.
"I won't eat it, you can eat it. Tao Xueming waved his hand.
Chunchun went out with a plate, Tao Xueming looked at the other party's back, and wondered if Chunchun had made a fake account.
……
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it was raining outside, Tao Xueming and Bao Zhipeng sat together to play poker.
Bet a dime.
After a few rounds, Tao Xueming lost about five cents.
"Yuhang, during this time, there are no problems in the store. ”
Tao Xueming asked casually.
"No, it's good, it's a lot of money every day. ”
Xiang Yuhang grinned.
Tao Xueming nodded lightly, glanced at Chunchun, and then asked, "Pinch your fingers, it's been a few months since Chunchun came, don't you plan to go home and have a look?"
"I don't want to go back, it's okay to go back, it will cost a lot of money. ”
Chunchun said a little shyly.
Tao Xueming snorted and said, "I think there are a few employees in the store, why don't you recruit a few people, how about the dance hall?"
"The dance hall is very good, the three Ren Qiang brothers are all watching there, and no one dares to cause trouble. ”
Xiang Yuhang said with a grin.
Tao Xueming continued: "We are recruiting a few people, and we have to have someone watch these stores. ”
"Cheng, it's all up to you. ”
"Keep playing cards. ”
After the cards were shuffled, several people continued to play.
Tao Xueming glanced at Chunchun, he didn't see any situation, as if nothing happened.
Probably, he was really suspicious.
……
After two days passed quietly, Tao Xueming followed Xiang Yuhang into the car and went to the provincial capital.
Now, it's time to find a seller, there are so many fish, ordinary merchants can't eat it at all, and they have to find a big buyer.
After sitting in the car for four or five hours, I finally arrived at the provincial bus station.
The provincial city is as dilapidated as their little place, there are not many high-rise buildings, and there is garbage everywhere, like abandoned houses.
Tao Xueming crossed the road and walked around here with Xiang Yuhang.
"Brother Tao Zi, where are we going to find a buyer?" asked Xiang Yuhang.
"You ask me, how do I know, I'm looking for it. ”
Tao Xueming said.
"I'm ...... Brother Tao Zi, you don't know where it is?"
Xiang Yuhang asked in astonishment.
Tao Xueming shrugged, he hadn't been to the provincial capital for a long time, and he had never been here at this time in his previous life.
So where there are buyers, he doesn't know.
"I'm going to ask for directions. ”
Xiang Yuhang took the initiative to walk up to a group of gathered old men and inquired with a smile.
After a while, Xiang Yuhang walked back and said, "Brother Tao Zi, those old men said that there is a seafood market three kilometers away. ”
"Then go and see, take a taxi. ”
Tao Xueming stretched out his hand to stop the black three wheels next to him, and after bargaining, he sent the two to the seafood market for three cents.
The seafood market here is much larger than Beiyang City, with dozens of merchants.
Tao Xueming walked around, and observed that the scale of these sellers was very small, basically they were all placed in a basin, and there were not a few fish at all.
He didn't believe that these people could eat so much fish.
After a circle, Tao Xueming sighed in disappointment, he felt that there was no buyer he was looking for here.
"Brother Tao Zi, why don't we ask door to door?"
Said to Yuhang.
"It's a vain question. Tao Xueming said.
"Then I'll try it. ”
Xiang Yuhang walked to the front and began to ask questions one by one.
Tao Xueming went outside to find a place to sit, the smell was too fishy, and it made him want to vomit.
In the past twenty minutes or so, Xiang Yuhang came back, followed by an adult.
"Brother Tao Zi, this Boss Wang, said that he knew a person who opened a seafood city and was willing to take us there. ”
"Open a seafood city?"
Tao Xueming was slightly surprised, is it so powerful, this year, someone knows about opening a seafood city.
"Boss Wang, I'm sorry for you. ”
Tao Xueming hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, I'll take you there. ”
Boss Wang turned around and left, taking the two of them to find the seafood city.
Tao Xueming was excited, he didn't expect his luck to be so good, and he actually found a buyer.
As long as you find a buyer, you don't have to worry about those fish, and once you sell them all, you can make a profit of at least about 10,000 yuan.
He gave the money to the people of the third team, and it was considered a successful completion of the task.
After walking for about half an hour, Boss Wang was still walking forward, Tao Xueming was already sweating profusely, he looked around, there were broken houses everywhere, just like the slums.
"Boss, how much longer?" he asked.
"Soon, ten minutes. The boss kept walking.
Tao Xueming walked and walked, and suddenly felt that something was not right, if it was really a seafood city, how could it be opened to such a remote place.
"Boss, we're not going, next time. ”
Tao Xueming grabbed Xiang Yuhang's arm, turned around and walked back.
"Wait a minute, it's really coming soon. Boss Wang shouted.
Tao Xueming didn't care if he really arrived or not, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Suddenly, on the way here, more than 20 young people armed with sticks appeared, blocking their way.
"Oops, we're in ambush. ”
Tao Xueming's expression changed greatly.
Suddenly, two strong men appeared behind them and covered their mouths with towels.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them fainted.
……
The pain made Tao Xueming wake up, he opened his eyes, and found himself in a foul-smelling broken house.
"Wake up...... Wake up to you. ”
Tao Xueming shouted a few times, and Xiang Yuhang slowly woke up.
"Ahh
Xiang Yuhang shouted: "Brother Tao Zi, what's the matter, why are we here." ”
"Idiot, you don't need to ask, we're kidnapped. ”
Tao Xueming looked here, the two were tied to a stool, the house was dilapidated and low, exuding a foul smell, and he didn't know what place it was.
Crunch.
The iron door behind him opened, and four strong men walked in.
"Who are you and why are you arresting us. ”
Tao Xueming asked.
The four strong men did not speak, and after untying their ropes, they forcibly dragged them out.
The two were then taken into another dilapidated house.
Inside the dilapidated house, stood a middle-aged man in a gray suit, in his early forties, with gold ornaments on his neck and fingers, and tattoos on his left and right hands and arms.
Tao Xueming looked at this posture, and it was obviously very wrong.
"Big brother, you recognized the wrong person, we haven't seen you. ”
Tao Xueming said with a weak heart.
The middle-aged man said indifferently: "Manager Wang, you died in your hands, and you dare to steal our boss's car and look for death." ”
Tao Xueming hurriedly said: "Manager Wang's business has nothing to do with me, you said that I stole your boss's car, that is impossible, that car is my own ......"
"The dead duck has a hard beak and cuts off one of his fingers. The man said indifferently.
A strong man pulled out a dagger, broke Tao Xueming's hand, and prepared to cut it.
"Don't!" Xiang Yuhang exclaimed: "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Peach, I did it, I stole the car, and if you want to cut you, I will cut off my fingers." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man sneered and said, "Then cut yours." ”
The strong man walked over and snapped his fingers towards the space.
"Stop!"
Tao Xueming roared in horror.
Laugh at!
With a knife down, the little finger hits the ground.
