Chapter 184: The Man Behind the Scenes
Looking at the attic along the way to identify the direction, Qin Chuan stepped on the roof and tiptoed, looking down at himself coming out in a hurry, wearing ordinary clothes. At this time, I looked around, and happened to see a black robe in the courtyard of a large house, so I climbed down from the courtyard wall, waited for a while and didn't see any sound, so I quietly took the black robe and put it on my body, only showing two eyes.
Walking towards the west, avoiding the occasional predation and the wild dogs that came out of nowhere, Qin Chuan was cautious along the way, sometimes stepping on the tiles from the roof, and then burrowing into the alley against the wall, walking along the mossy stone path.
There are many dangers along the way, and if you are bumped into, you will definitely be treated as a thief. Fortunately, Qin Chuan released the aura of heaven and earth in advance, and was able to predict some risks, so he arrived at his destination without danger.
This is the residence of the horse shopkeeper in Xicheng, according to the ghost market, it will not be opened in the near future, so the mansion of the horse shopkeeper at this time is empty, not as lively as it was at the beginning.
Qin Chuan was in the corner not far away, and he waited for a long time and didn't see any figure, so he looked around, came to the door of the horse shopkeeper against the wall, looked at the wall that was less than a zhang, but did not stump Qin Chuan, and went to the courtyard between a little breath, and walked towards the room of the horse shopkeeper.
Since that time when he killed Scarface, Mr. Yu sold the goods transported by his head to the ghost market, and the goods in it were all silk from Huzhou, or jade from southern Xinjiang, which was very rare in Qingzhou City, and was not an ordinary medicinal herb. Qin Chuan knew that the number of these things was huge, and it was extremely inconvenient to transport them to the ghost market, and if it weren't for someone in the ghost market, he would definitely not exchange them easily. And when he and Lao Dao came to find the horse shopkeeper that day, he found that the wooden box in his courtyard was very familiar, and he never thought that this was the dart that Mr. Yu had lost.
Since Qin Chuan killed Scarface's fifth child, he had to beware of those bandits. If the Scar-faced Fifth revealed Qin Chuan's whereabouts before, it would really be one in the light and the other in the dark, because Qin Chuan wanted to know where the Scar-faced Fifth and the other were from the horse's shopkeeper's body, so he had to prepare best in advance, so as not to know who would kill him when the time came.
And Mr. Yu is not thin on Qin Chuan, and he met him in the mountains, but he gave Qin Chuan a lot of wine to drink, so if he is free, he can get this justice for Mr. Yu.
Walking through the courtyard wall, Qin Chuan held his breath, only to see him pass through the courtyard like a black shadow, and when he was about to step forward, he found a big black dog lying on the ground, perhaps because he felt that someone was approaching, and stuck out his tongue and smelled it. When he came here before, he had never seen a horse shopkeeper with a dog, and now he is very cautious and wary of young people.
Qin Chuan quietly picked up a small stone and wrapped it in the aura of heaven and earth, as a cultivator of the synaesthesia realm, he naturally had a certain ability to control things. I saw that while the big black dog was not paying attention, a small stone quickly smashed towards its head, and it was stunned before it could react, and it didn't make a sound at all.
Qin Chuan sensed that there was no movement around him, and only after confirming that it was safe did he continue to walk towards the front from the courtyard wall, and after a while, he found that the candle in the Ma Shopkeeper's room was lit, and it seemed that someone was talking inside, and there were many people listening to the voice.
At this time, Qin Chuan began to muttered in his heart, this ghost market obviously didn't know when it would open, and it must be unusual for these people to gather here, so Qin Chuan fell far from the courtyard wall to the ground, looking for a corner to stay, and seeing that the people inside had not come out, he continued to walk forward dozens of steps, waiting next to the branches of an osmanthus tree, and vaguely heard some voices coming:
"Shopkeeper, do you know what the wooden sign means? At the beginning, the civil official who came out of the capital came out with several carriages of gold, silver and jewelry, and disappeared after coming to Chenjia Village, and I heard that the whole village was destroyed, and the civil official did not tell the whereabouts of the box until he died. It's just that I heard that there is a wooden plaque with a map hidden in it, and as long as you get the wooden plaque, you know where the property is, so if you ask me to visit tonight, you must know its whereabouts, right?" At this moment, a hearty voice came from the room, and it sounded like a middle-aged man.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything for a long time, it seemed that he poured a cup of tea, drank a few sips before saying: "Boss Tan is really well-informed, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated with you with the single dart on Mr. Yu's head." ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan's body tightened, and he suddenly thought that this was the group of Scarface Old Five, so he hurriedly turned sideways and listened carefully, but he didn't dare to take another step. In case the other party is also a cultivator of the synaesthesia realm and can perceive the changes around him, if Qin Chuan accidentally exposes his traces, he really doesn't dare to ensure that he can escape from this courtyard.
The middle-aged man's voice came, and he was very happy to hear: "If these goods come in according to the usual way, you may have to give a lot of silver money to Zhou Youliang's hands." I've heard that in the ghost market, the shopkeeper is very fast, and he must have made a lot of money, otherwise he wouldn't have burned the golden sandalwood incense at this time. As for you saying that you want us to cooperate, I sent my proud brother to be an undercover agent, and I was terrified for months and almost broke down, but now that he is in a different place, I deserve all the silver. ”
When the shopkeeper heard that a brother had died, he thought that his wishful thinking had been exposed, and asked anxiously: "That brother, but because of these darts, Mr. Yu found out, so he ......."
At this time, another voice came coldly: "How can that old man hurt the scar-faced old five, it is said that a young man killed him in the stage of Man Yuanchun, and it was directly hit in the intestines and other places, the body is still lying in the state hall and unclaimed, if the shopkeeper knows something, please know everything." After all, you have some connections with the ghost market, and the news there is said to be very well-informed, as long as you make a price. ”
Qin Chuan listened outside, and he was also relieved in his heart, it seemed that this group of people didn't know who killed Scarface.
The shopkeeper got up at this time, went to make a pot of tea and said: "Hey, this is unacceptable, it's my brother who must not see the outside, I will go back and inquire, if there is a situation, I will definitely discuss with you, but at this time, I have to find the wooden card." ”
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Yes, if you can find that wooden card, you can find the whereabouts of your property, and then the brothers can sing every night, and you don't have to walk the rivers and lakes with your head up." But since you asked us to come here, you must have some whereabouts, right? Even if your tea is delicious, my brothers are used to being vulgar, and they still find it more comfortable for the spirits to enter their throats. ”。
The shopkeeper sat down again, and said in a low voice at this moment: "With my Ma's person, I will definitely not let you go in vain." That night, an old man and a young man came to the door and said that they were going to the ghost market. Originally, I didn't agree, but the old man took out a wooden card, the front of which is the common thing of the ghost market, but the back is engraved with a Chen character, looking at the quaint appearance, it should be the wooden card of Chenjia Village. ”
Qin Chuan was hiding outside at the moment and listening attentively, feeling more and more that the old man and the young man that the shopkeeper said were the old man and himself......
