Of course, the shopkeeper Gu Lao knew the shopkeeper Yue of the restaurant next door, and the relationship between the two was quite good. After all, he has been a neighbor for many years, and he often buys things from Muterudo.

But the old shopkeeper Gu also recognized that the person who followed the shopkeeper Yue was the famous gangster leader on Tianbei Street, and everyone called him Hei Xiaolong.

It is said that this person was born with a slender black mark on his back, like a small snake that winds like a snake, and even a snake hyacinth.

The black snake is unpleasant, so it is called the black dragon.

But Hei Xiaolong's surname is actually Bai, and he likes others to call him Master Long.

Shopkeeper Yue was obviously an accompaniment, and after taking a step behind, Hei Xiaolong directly said to the old shopkeeper Gu: "Take a step to speak." ”

Gu Lao's shopkeeper looked around, not knowing where to 'borrow a step', but there were no guests at this time, so he shouted at Dajiang and asked him to go to the backyard to help the short-term workers.

Looking at Da Jiang, Hei Xiaolong said to the old shopkeeper of Chong Gu: "Someone wants to burn your shop." ”

"Do you really want to burn?" Before, Miss Xia had only told her about fire prevention, and the old shopkeeper Gu had doubts in his heart, but now when Hei Xiaolong said this, he screamed.

"Huh? You know this? Hei Xiaolong raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had really come to the right place this time. It seems that the person who is preparing to commit the black hand is extremely untight, and everyone is on guard.

"I don't know." Old Shopkeeper Gu hurriedly shook his head, and very skillfully grabbed two pieces of silver and stuffed them to Hei Xiaolong, and gave a small piece to Shopkeeper Yue, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it? ”

Now Mu Zhaotang's business is not what it used to be, and the two pieces of silver given to Hei Xiaolong are about five taels, which is more than enough to make an information fee.

The black boss came over to sell the news, so he elaborated on it immediately.

It turned out that not long ago, together with Steward Mao and his wife, as well as Xia Xiaodong, the other table that dined at the same restaurant was Hei Xiaolong's brother.

Originally, this restaurant was the dining hall where Hei Xiaolong and his brothers had dinner. If they make an appointment to speak, they will all be in this place.

Originally, those brothers were just homeless during the Chinese New Year, so they simply got together to eat and drink, and when they were ready to eat and drink, they started to push pai gow on the spot.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a 'business'.

The voices of the Mao steward and his wife were high and low, not only Xia Xiaodong heard it, but Hei Xiaolong's brothers also heard it.

Throwing torches? How can you not do this door-to-door business?

Soon after Xia Xiaodong left, the Mao steward and his wife became less and less vigilant when they spoke.

This is true of many people. If there is someone near the left, remember to lower the volume a little, for fear of being heard. If you see people far away, you just think that they can't hear. As everyone knows, unconsciously, it has completely leaked the bottom.

At that moment, a brother went over and accosted him, saying that he could help throw the torch.

"One tael of silver." Hei Xiaolong smiled: "Those two people are rich, especially women. ”

said and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, "No wonder it is said that it is the most poisonous woman's heart." ”

"And how many do they want to throw?" Old Gu Shopkeeper glanced at the two small pieces of silver thrown around in Hei Xiaolong's hand, thinking that if Hei Xiaolong didn't say too outrageous, he would make up for him.

When people come to sell news, they must at least get the silver they should have gotten.

For example, you can get ten taels for throwing torches, and you can get five taels for selling news, and if you don't say it, throw five torches to make up for it.

But if Hei Xiaolong said a hundred, he couldn't bear it, so he had to find another way.

Hei Xiaolong was very professional, and said with a smile: "Originally, the woman said that she just threw it, and threw it until it was raised, and counted the money according to the actual amount." ”

But the man didn't do it, saying how to count in the chaos? I am afraid that I will deliberately overreport and take the silver. Finally, it is good to throw five sticks first, and if the effect is not good, add five more. ”

"Thank you, Master Long!" Gu Lao's shopkeeper arched his hand, which can be regarded as a love for Hei Xiaolong: "The one who wants to set the fire, is it a short and thin man with a black face and a coffin board?" ”

Hei Xiaolong smiled: "Well, it's about like this. The woman was more recognizable, tall and fat, fat as a pig, and quite white in skin. ”

Well, short, skinny, black and tall, white and chubby, this combination is really easy to recognize.

Hei Xiaolong continued: "They are very anxious, and they said that they will do it tomorrow night. What happens next depends on what you mean. ”

Now that the news has been communicated, Hei Xiaolong's gang will definitely not take it seriously, and they usually find a reason to push it when the time comes, if Mu Zhaotang wants to arrest the initiator, then they will have to give another silver to cooperate.

"Tomorrow night? So fast? The old shopkeeper Gu was taken aback, it turned out that Steward Mao had such a ruthless idea, no wonder he was so decisive when he left.

"If you don't rush to the beginning of the month, will you wait for fifteen? Is it easy to do things under the moon? Hei Xiaolong laughed unconsciously, feeling that the old shopkeeper Gu was old and bearded, but these doorways were not passable.

In fact, the employer who was sold obviously did not know much about arson.

Setting fires is a technical job. Especially in winter, when there is snow everywhere, it is more and more difficult. The wood is not a little shaving, and Muzhaotang is not a new shop that opened on the first day, so people will guard against it.

If you really want to set fires, throwing torches is a stupid way to do it - who knows where to throw it?

And those who have thrown it know that after the torch falls, the inner flame at the bottom is the most difficult to ignite, and the outer flame at the top is the best to use. It takes a bit of luck to light a pile of wood like this.

If you really want to burn the wood, the reasonable way is to send a dexterous one first, pour some oil on the pile of wood to be burned, and then pour out some oil threads. So that if you can light one of them, it will burst into flames.

Will Hei Xiaolong teach such a complicated method to others?

After saying that, everything that catches fire in a similar situation will be counted on his head.

What's more, although you need to find someone who can set fires, you can't just find people right under people's noses, just across a wall.

You have two eyes and one smear, can this kind of thing be messed up? The more you take the initiative to get over, the more careful you have to be.

I don't have any experience in the rivers and lakes of this idea, and I still want to learn from others to set fires?!

"In this way," Gu Lao's shopkeeper has not eaten the salt sauce for decades in vain, and immediately said: "Trouble Master Long not to go far today and tomorrow, I'll go find You Lizheng, and then go to see how much silver Li Bantou needs to move, Gu Si will go to find our owner, and let's meet in my small courtyard when we go back, and make a charter, how about it?" ”

Hei Xiaolong was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that there was going to be silver in his account again, and immediately smiled: "This is easy." It won't take long for you to move around, so I'll call two or three brothers, bring some wine and meat, and wait in your yard. ”

The matter of wine and meat is naturally in charge of the shopkeeper Yue. (To be continued.) )
