Chapter 338: It's connected
It seems that for whatever reason, my next destination is to the east of Suzhou.
Count with your hands - there is my nowhere to be found over there, there is a delicious dim sum shop over there, and that is also where the eldest young master is going!
The first meal in Suzhou City, no, the noodles I ate for the first time, there is still half of it left.
This is a good time to go to the east of the city, as long as you walk around the city before sunset, it is easy to ask for news.
After nightfall, even if I can reach the eastern boundary of the city, I am too embarrassed to knock on someone's door, maybe there is a big dog guarding behind the door.
That's not a joke, safety first!
After exchanging a few words with the old gentleman at the same table, and inquiring about some news that had been discussed in the city recently, I paid the face money and got up to take my leave.
According to the old gentleman, the eastern boundary of the city only needs to follow the long street where I am now.
Walk to the third junction and walk northeast to the street, then you will see a stone bridge, and you can see it when you go down and turn a corner.
Most of the houses over there are large families, which are completely different from the houses of ordinary people in the city.
Even if no one pointed me out, I could see the deep courtyard enclosed by high walls, and I could see it at a glance.
Continue along the street, and slowly go east of the city, following the direction that the old gentleman had pointed out to me during the conversation.
Suzhou City is naturally not only a few streets away from a small town.
I walked around the city for about half an hour, and I didn't bother to ask the shop for a bowl of water in my previous noodle rush to eat, but now I was walking down the street, very thirsty.
Glancing at the side of the street, I saw a tea stall over there.
The teahouse doesn't need Xiao to think about it. Shyness in the bag!
Resting in Qibei City in the past, the price of a pot of good tea plus refreshments is not cheap, but a tea stall. The bowl of coarse tea is still within the range I can pay.
I didn't hesitate, walked to the tea stall and asked the lady who sold tea for a bowl of tea.
The lady of the tea stall said that it was a locally produced high mountain tea.
I just took the coarse porcelain bowl handed to me by my mother, and two people rushed up behind me coldly, so fast!
They squeezed up from behind and almost knocked me off with the bowl of tea.
The tea in my hand spilled slightly on the floor, and I fixed my mind and ignored the two daredevils who came out of an unknown corner. Walk aside for tea.
Hearing them talking to the lady of the tea stall, I couldn't help but turn my head to look.
I could see clearly that the two people were about seventeen or eighteen years old, one tall and one short. Looking at the clothes on his body, he looks like a rich and noble family doing things under them.
The two of them yelled and asked for two bowls of tea, and also stood aside and talked.
It's a little sneaky, but it's deliberately low-key, and usually such people always get my attention quickly. This time was no exception.
His gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment. I turned my head and pretended to be leisurely, drinking tea and looking out at the street scene in the distance.
At such a street tea stall, countless pedestrians pass by every day to drink tea, hurrying, but staying for a while.
No one cares about the people around them who are also in a hurry.
At first, it was curiosity, and then the conversation between the two immediately grabbed my full attention! "The young master of the Yuwen family heard that he was about to arrive in Suzhou, and the people below were busy preparing, and they all pulled a cart of things to his house in the east of the city today."
The short young man leaned over to the man next to him and whispered. "Our boss doesn't have any news. How good is that? He looked puzzled, and there was a hint of worry in his tone. Looking at the tall young man's eyes, he was even more uneasy, "Could it be that there is a leak of news and something has happened?" β
The short man said with a little puzzled tone: "The last time I saw our boss, it's been almost seven or eight days, why is there no news at all?" "I've heard you talk so many times, what is the origin of the Yuwen family?"
The tall one was obviously calmer than his companion: "Don't listen to those people, listen to the wind is the rain, our boss must have been delayed on the road, you can believe nonsense." "But that's not what you said this morning." The short man looked at his companion in surprise. "I'm just talking to them," the tall young man muttered.
He snorted coldly in his nostrils, "Those people have itchy mouths, they always like to talk about nothing, and sometimes they are still guessing over there." β
He said in a calm tone: "Actually, the boss explained before leaving, and he will come back after finishing things." β
The short man's eyes widened: "Is this true?" β
"Funny, what am I lying to you for?"
The short man looked at his companion, a half-believing expression appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Then you haven't answered me yet, what is the origin of that young master of the Yuwen family?" β
"Why do you ask so much, I'll tell youβin short, it's a great character," said the tall man, glancing at his companion with a warning eye, "his house is in the south of Sealand, but it will be windy and rainy, and I will not be able to tell you for a while." β
When the tall man said this, he lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, his family is involved with Wang Shi and Beidi, otherwise how could this kind of thing happen?"
"Ahh The short young man cried out, and his shoulder was tapped hard by his companion, and he immediately covered his mouth nervously and looked left and right.
The pedestrians were still in a hurry, and they didn't pay any extra attention, and they didn't care at all about the two people talking on the street.
But I wasn't looking at them except me.
I kept my eyes on the two of them, listening intently to their conversation, and as soon as their eyes swept over, I quickly turned my back to them.
I can't let these two people see it, my attention is focused on them, I'm afraid of getting into trouble, so I haven't been in Suzhou City for long.
Keep a low profile, try to keep a low profile, and be careful in everything you do until you find my brother. "Our boss really shouldn't have taken on this task, but it didn't work out. This is still hanging, and I'm afraid the money collected will have to be returned in its original form. β
The short man spoke frustratedly, clearly worrying about something that didn't fall under his jurisdiction. I, an outsider, can guess. "Who would have thought that it would have been done, and everyone was kidnapped, but it turned out to be a halfway way to bite the gold and take people away."
With my back to those two people, I couldn't stop hearing their conversation clearly, and for a moment I couldn't stop the surprise in my eyes. "Look at those people in the Yuwen family. It doesn't look like it's a busy job, but it looks like it's almost there. β
The short man looked a little stunned with a little hesitation on his face, and he was always entangled in the things mentioned earlier.
"It's not just today. I also went to the east of the city yesterday to inquire about the news. β
"At that time, there were several delivery trucks parked outside the Yuwen family's house, and in the pile of things unloaded, there were not only furniture, calligraphy and paintings, but also ingredients."
The short man spoke to his companion in a natural tone: "You want to." The ingredients are all there. Isn't that coming soon, what else could it be? β
When his companion heard this, he didn't echo it, but just opened his mouth and whispered, "Isn't it, I will know it in the past two days!" "You don't pick a place to ask," the tall young man grumbled, looking at him as he finished his tea, "and you can talk about it here." "It's lively on the street," said the short man, unconvinced. Whoever has the leisure to listen to us is safe. "That's not going to happen." The tall young man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, when I'm done, find a place to sit, and wait for me to talk to you carefully!" β
The two men paid for the tea and immediately walked through the alley across the street and quickly walked away.
Their direction seems to be going out of the city!
I quietly paid for my tea and continued to walk in the direction of the east of the city, reflecting on the conversation just now, it seemed that there were many places worth thinking about.
Yuwen family? What is the origin of this?
The identities of these two people? The young master of the Yuwen family in their mouths?
There is also the so-called Yuwen family, who can call the wind and rain in the south of Zealand, and the connection between Wang Shi and the Northland.
On top of that, they mentioned something I knew all too well - kidnapping!
I walked slowly along the side of the street, my face impassive, my eyes falling on the front, but one thought after another in my heart.
When I woke up in the carriage, when I was lighting a fire in the mountains, when I was staying overnight in a farmhouse in the mountains, and when I was exploring the road alone, I always felt that some key point had flashed by me and I had overlooked.
I once carefully recalled in my mind the whole process of being kidnapped by them.
From the dangerous situation of the boat to the narrow waterway before the valley, the smoke released at that time, the group of people in black suddenly appeared
All kinds of situations are intertwined, and there are times when no one can distinguish them.
These things are mixed together, and there is one of the most critical points in the middle, which is the boy who is with me on adventures in the mountains.
He knew more about the men in black than I did, and he dealt with them.
I fainted from the drugged boat to the time I woke up in the carriage, knowing nothing about the kidnappers who had kidnapped me, but the boy was different, and not only did he do it, but he also rescued me from them.
But if you think about it, how did my brother and I provoke those men in black?
According to the two people just now, they must be inseparable from the kidnapping, but they don't seem to be directly involved.
Since my brother and I left the capital of Sealand, our whereabouts have been hidden, and there is no other person to follow except for the young man's boat.
At first, I suspected that the direction was different, but I saw that the teenager had been with me these days, and he didn't know anything about us at all, so how could he be the one who planned the kidnapping?
He was also poisoned, which was a life-threatening matter in the absence of medical care in the mountains.
He's been involved in so many links, but he's not an accomplice of the man in black, so my thinking has finally been completely clear.
The style of the eldest young master that is invisibly revealed all the time, the shop that transports things mentioned in the conversation between the two people at the tea stall on the street just now, the east of the city, the house of the Yuwen family.
I slowly got an idea of the whole thing in my mind.
It's like there's finally a thread that connects the broken details.
The crux of the matter, the most important person in the incident, the eldest young master, must have been hiding a lot of things that I should have known.
The kidnapping case on the ship doesn't look like it's coming at me and my brother.
The two boats arrived outside Suzhou City one after the other, and the timing of the appearance of the man in black, all the reasons added up to like an oolong for them.
I figured it out, got it thoroughly!
That guy hides his true face and won't show me anything, there must be a reason why he can't say it.
At this moment, I really regret that the time in the mountains, I should have examined his true face without hesitation, and the moment I saw it, the answer was there.
I subconsciously looked down at the robe I was wearing, and I seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth.
Being in the middle of the game is different from jumping out of the game and thinking about it - there is always a different angle.
Although Suzhou City is big, the place where the teenager lives is not right, and now it has a name!
Where the young master of the Yuwen family lives, when he finds my senior brother, it will not be a problem at all.
If I have any doubts in my heart, before I leave Suzhou, I can meet with the boy and figure everything out.
I high-fived him and swore that he would give me an explanation when he found out about the kidnapping and hijacking case.
A gentleman's word is a quick whip!
I don't think he'll be repaid
I walked briskly along the long street, and as the old gentleman had said, I came to the boundary near the east of the city.
The stone bridge that the old gentleman said could already be seen from a distance, and the semicolon of the Fuyuan Building that the old gentleman told me also came into view.
Impartially, it is at the boundary of the stone bridge.
I walked up the stone bridge with a river leading to the outside of the city.
After crossing the stone bridge, it is the eastern boundary of the city.
I walked not far away, and saw that there were only a dozen customers waiting at the window of the branch of Fuyuan Building along the street, which was not comparable to the one I had seen before.
Regardless of whether what the old gentleman told me was true or not, the small number of people meant that I would not have to wait long to taste his delicious dim sum.
A dim sum shop? The corners of my mouth twitched, and the money on me was even less after passing through the tea stall, but it should be enough to buy two dim sum.
At the end of the line, I lined up in order, and when a guest walked away in front of me, I moved forward.
Pedestrians came down from the stone bridge, some of whom had the same destination as me.
At this stall, a few children suddenly came out of the small alley!
They ran down the street and crashed into the crowd in line.
I was also hit and a kid ran past me, and I looked at their backs.
A few children entered the alley opposite and ran noisily
After an interlude, the procession quickly restored order.
I can smell the fragrance wafting in front of me, the smell of freshly cooked dim sum!
The children ran into the alley.
One of the older children in the lead ran straight to a tree along the riverside and looked at a teenager sitting on the stone steps. (To be continued......)
