Chapter 132: Involvement
Hearing Yin Ren's inquiry, the man standing in the corner raised his head and replied: "The monk surnamed Ye, the monk of Nanguan Temple in the south of Xiangyang City, his real identity is the second gang leader of the 'Jiaolong Gang'."
Yin Ren asked again: "It is rumored that there are five gang leaders in the 'Jiaolong Gang', who else is there besides these two gang leaders and Tao Tie Monk, the five gang leaders?" ”
The young man replied: "The leader of the three gangs, Li Chu, is good at doing business, and the property in the gang is taken care of by this person; The leader of the four gangs is called the 'Jade Xiao Scholar', and his real name is unknown, while the leader of the 'Jiaolong Gang' is the head and the tail, except for the four gang leaders, none of the subordinate gang members have seen him. ”
Yin Ren's face was contemplative, and after a while, he smiled playfully: "Jiaolong Gang, is this to 'get water into a dragon and compete for the phoenix'?" ”
The young man said: "The Jiaolong Gang has been in the limelight for the past year, and the waterways in the Jing, Xiang, and Shu areas have all been controlled by it, and now it seems to be the water overlord in the Han River area."
Yin Ren praised: "Second Brother Mo knows a lot about the Jiaolong Gang, so it can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort, and he must have worked hard to find out such a confidential matter!" ”
After the young man known as Second Brother Mo was praised by Yin Ren, his face did not show joy, but a trace of bitterness.
Yin Ren saw it in his eyes, knowing that there must be something unspeakable, and his eyes looked at the father of Second Brother Mo, a slightly chubby middle-aged man known as Uncle Xing.
When this Uncle Xing saw his son Xing Mo showing such an appearance in front of the young master, he hated iron and steel, but now that the young master had noticed it, he had to say: "Young master, don't praise me anymore." After that, he sighed deeply: "Alas! ”
Yin Ren knew that there must be a reason for this, so he didn't ask, but his eyes scanned back and forth between Xing's father and son.
Uncle Xing no longer concealed it, and said honestly: "My son said a family affair last year, the other party is the only daughter of Wan Xiuniang outside the city, this woman is both good and beautiful, and she is also quite famous in our Xiangyang City, our Xing family is really very satisfied, and it was originally scheduled to be the beginning of autumn this year, Mo'er will welcome the bride to get married, who knows, ......" sighed again.
Xing Mo heard his father talk about this, the color on his face changed a few times, and he silently lowered his head and said no more.
Uncle Xing said again: "After the New Year, our Xing family is ready to get married, but I don't know that the 10,000 people outside the family have come to the shocking news, saying that his embroidery girl has been kidnapped and has been reported to the governor to find someone!" A few days later, he personally came to the door to ask for resignation, saying that the embroidery girl was taken captive, and he was afraid of tarnishing the name of the Xing family. ”
After saying that, Uncle Xing straightened his chest again, and said proudly: "This ten thousand people also look down on people, what kind of person does he regard me Xing Luo, how can we fall into the well because of this matter and agree to withdraw from our relatives?" Mo'er and I sternly refused, and comforted Wan Yuan, the Xing family will try their best to help find Wan Xiuniang, once found, it will still be my Xing family's daughter-in-law. ”
Yin Ren nodded and said, "Be like this!" Uncle Xing has always been a person who values love and righteousness. ”
Xing Meng continued: "Mo'er searched for this in many ways, inquired secretly, and asked him to find out the truth, Mo'er was originally in love with the ten thousand embroidery girls, and when she heard about it, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she fell ill under depression. ”
Hearing this, Yin Ren looked at Xing Mo's obviously thin cheeks, and his heart moved, and said: "It is rumored in Xiangyang City that Tao Tieseng, a partner of Wan Yuanwai many years ago, kidnapped his daughter Wan Xiuniang, could it be that the truth is that Xiuniang has other things to do with the people in the 'Jiaolong Gang'?" ”
Uncle Xing no longer sighed, a little indignation appeared on his face, and he nodded: "The young master expected it to be true. The truth that Mo'er worked hard to find out was that this woman was not kidnapped, but ...... Eloped! This son of a wreck, now that the matter has come to this, he refuses to listen to my words and go to Wanjia to withdraw from his relatives. ”
Xing Meng paused for a moment, his face seemed to age a little in an instant, he looked at Yin Ren pleadingly and said, "What else do you want to do with such a woman's immorality?" I implore the young master to persuade the evil son, it is better to withdraw from the marriage but this matter! ”
Uncle Xie on the side didn't seem to know much about this matter, but it was the first time he had heard an old friend for many years talk about the reason for this matter, and after listening to it, he also showed disdain and said: "This kind of woman really can't be asked anymore, Mo'er should listen to your father's words." ”
At this time, Yin Ren understood why Xing Mo was able to explore the 'Jiaolong Gang' so secret, it turned out that there was such a involvement, so he tried his best.
He was an extremely smart person, and he guessed the key point from Xing Mo's previous short introduction to several members of the Jiaolong Gang, and he asked: "Second Brother Mo, Wan Xiuniang eloped with Tao Tie Monk, but she took a fancy to a monk surnamed Ye?" ”
Xing Mo's body trembled, he raised his head again in surprise, and said, "Young master...... Did you guess it? ”
Yin Ren's face was straight, and he asked, "Second Brother Mo wants to find the ten thousand embroidery girls and make a decision after asking him face to face?" ”
Xing Mo nodded, with a strange expression on his face, and said: "The wild surnamed bald donkey is obviously a monk, and it is not good to stay in Nanguan Temple to practice, but he often comes to this prosperous Xiangyang City, but although I am staring at him, I have not found much, this bald donkey is abnormally alert, and he can't catch his horse feet for a while, because he has never found the whereabouts of the embroidery girl." ”
Yin Ren asked: "Although the matter of Wan Xiuniang leaving Xiangyang with Tao Tie Monk is secret, there is no absolute secrecy in this world, but if it does not disappear out of thin air, there must be clues to be found." ”
After listening to Yin Ren's analysis, Xing Mo's face flashed with anticipation, and he said: "I found out that the place where Xiuniang appeared most recently was a place dozens of miles west from Xiangyang City, a place called Wulitou. ”
Yin Ren secretly thought in his heart, the monk surnamed Ye happened to live in the next room next to Zhao Xian in Zhang's guest house, if he kidnapped Zhao Xian, and no matter what the purpose was, the place he went to was ninety percent likely to be the same as the place where Wan Xiuniang was.
Yin Ren looked pensive and said to himself, "Five miles? He suddenly asked again: "Second Brother Mo, the matter of the 'Jiaolong Gang', but do you know about it from that person?" ”
Xing Mo showed admiration on his face and said, "It is true that person sent someone to inform his subordinates. ”
Yin Ren chuckled and said, "It turns out that there is a master behind that person, the 'Jiaolong Gang'...... So that's the case, then these three people are evenly matched, and this scene is becoming more and more interesting. ”
The three people in the room didn't understand what Yin Ren said, and they looked at each other for a while.
Yin Ren smiled again: "Second Brother Mo, relax, if you follow my plan, you will be able to find the ten thousand embroidery girls." ”
Xing Mo's eyes lit up, swept away the previous gloomy color, and hurriedly thanked him, Yin Ren waved his hand, and then turned his head and asked, "Two uncles, has the lacquerware business been good in recent years?" ”
Xing Meng replied: "Xiangzhou's tribute 'Kuluzhen' has always been mainly transported by water, and now it is controlled by the 'Jiaolong Gang' for water transportation, and the cost is one percent higher than before, and our profits have been greatly reduced, but if the lacquerware is transported by horse-drawn carriage, the loss is very great, and the merchants of Xiangyang Mansion now hate this 'Jiaolong Gang' very much." ”
Yin Ren's mind had already turned a few times, but he still smiled harmlessly on his face: "Two uncles and relieved, in the current situation, I'm afraid that someone can't wait to get rid of the 'Jiaolong Gang', if I go to add more fire, I'm afraid that the good show will start immediately!" ”
