Chapter 385: The Mysterious Sanban Town (1)
Fang Lei's "plan to divert the tiger from the mountain" really worked, after the Tan Zhai lord and they destroyed the secret liaison stations of the three towns, Ma Zhifei hurriedly transferred most of the masters sent by the general altar to the towns to carry out assassination operations against the cleaning team sent by Qingfeng Village.
This time, under the influence of Fang Lei, he decided to sneak into Sanfan Town to investigate the whereabouts of Ma Zhifei's secret altar, and intuitively, he could sense that the secret altar should be near the town.
Although Sanfan Town is not far from Hanshan County, only more than 50 miles away, it is a remote mountain town, there are not many guests, and the business is also very depressed, especially the street people who live in the town, all day long with a bitter melon face, as if they never laugh, only cry.
Behind the town street are connected to the mountains, which stretch for more than ten miles, and are foggy every day, and it is rare to see the true face of these green mountains and green waters.
In the evening, Fang Lei lived in a small inn in the north of the town, and during the conversation, he knew that the store's surname was Guo, and he was an authentic person from the town, and a family of five only relied on a meager income to make a living and live a poor life.
The shopkeeper is over fifty years old, with a wife, a son, a daughter-in-law and a well-behaved grandson, according to ordinary people, they should be regarded as a happy family, although the life is poorer, but the old and the young, the whole family lives together, happy, but why is there no happy smile on the face?
Fang Lei was puzzled, seeing that there were not many guests in the inn who came to register for accommodation, the shopkeeper was also very idle sitting at the front desk, and took the opportunity to register, and asked quietly: "Shop!" It was also the first time to travel to Sanban Town, and I saw that the streets were deserted, not many people were moving around, and the faces of the street residents were also rarely smiling, what was the reason? ”
"The guest officer doesn't know, Sanfan Town is also called the night sky, before it gets dark, it is the door and the courtyard is sparse, after dark, but it is the door of the city, all kinds of taverns, gambling tubes, overcrowded, just those of us who open hotels, restaurants, there are not many guests who stay in the house, business is difficult to do, most of the local stores are like this, bleak business, difficult to live, who can laugh?"
The shopkeeper also spoke quietly, as if he was afraid of offending anyone.
Fang Lei asked: "Why are there more people at night?" ”
"This old man doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to inquire, anyway, at night, a lot of drinkers and gamblers flock from all the streets, and at the fifth watch, they quietly disperse, and in the past ten years, it has been like this!" The shopkeeper said.
Fang Lei asked more: "Since the business of taverns and gambling halls is so good, why don't the store owners change to such a business and insist on doing hotel business?" ”
"The guest officer doesn't know, the old man has been in the hotel business for several generations, and I don't want to pass it on to my generation, give up halfway, and besides, it is said that the owners of taverns and gambling halls are all people who have backers behind them, otherwise, even the wine money, even the gambling debts can't be recovered, what else can you do business? For decades, the people who have stayed here in my place are regular customers and pay their rent on time, who wants to that heart? The shopkeeper said.
Fang Lei said: "Yes! As the saying goes, one thousand is better than eight hundred, and if you can't get back those accounts that are on credit, won't you be busy in vain? ”
"The guest hasn't eaten yet, has he?" The shopkeeper asked suddenly.
Fang Lei said: "Not yet! When I first arrived at your place, I went straight to your inn, thinking that I would find a place to live first, and then it was not too late to go to dinner, what is the store to introduce? ”
"There is a restaurant next door, which is opened by locals, it is hygienic and reliable, it tastes good, and the children are not bullied, so you can go to drink and eat with confidence!" The shopkeeper said seriously.
Fang Lei asked: "So, the owners of those taverns and gambling halls are all outsiders?" ”
"Yes! Even the diners and gamblers didn't know who they were, and they spoke with different accents, as if they were coming from all directions! "The shopkeeper is honest.
It was only at this time that Fang Lei confirmed that his intuition was right, he came to the right place, he dared to conclude that this was the general altar of the secret organization, just waiting to find out their lair, where was it built?
There was a burst of excitement in his heart, and during the meal, he also deliberately drank a few glasses alone to celebrate, and the efforts of the past few months were not in vain, not only to clear all the peripheral contact points of Ma Zhifei's secret organization, but also to successfully approach their main altar, in time, he could go straight to the Yellow Dragon and plow the bottom to sweep the hole.
After dinner, Fang Lei returned to the inn, and when picking up his luggage, the store specially instructed: "Guest officer!" Go upstairs and rest early after freshening up, don't go to the street, those things that drink and gamble are not suitable for you real young people, and it is not safe to go shopping at night! ”
Fang Lei replied sincerely: "Yes! Thanks for the reminder! ”
After taking the luggage, he honestly walked up to the second floor and entered his guest room, feeling that the environment was good, the bed was clean and hygienic, and exuded a faint fragrance, there was really a feeling of "home away", decades of gold lacquer signboards, no dust.
After freshening up, he blew out the candles, went to bed early to rest, and soon came out of the room with a uniform snoring sound, creating such an illusion, which is also his forte, not only concealed from the neighbors, but also concealed from the shopkeepers who came to check the night, listened with bated breath for a while, and then went downstairs with confidence, as a responsible innkeeper, he also had to think about the safety of the guests!
In the middle of the night, Fang Lei changed into another set of clothes, but not night clothes, secretly drilled out of the window, slipped to the ground, and then entered the street from the back alley.
At this time, the lanterns on the street are hung high, people come and go, bustling, what a bright light, what a night sky!
Fang Lei was sandwiched between them and walked into a gambling hall, the so-called "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" He decided to blend in with them, gambling first and drinking later, so as not to reveal his identity.
These people rarely spoke, but Fang Lei could hear that although he didn't speak the dialect of Sanfan Town, it was the accent of the Duanzhou region, which was not difficult for him.
Entering the gambling hall, but seeing the dim candlelight and the smoke of cigarettes, Fang Lei smelled that these were all inferior self-rolled cigarettes, choking and spicy, very unpleasant, but since it was to find information, he had to aggrieve himself for the time being.
At this time, a group of red-eyed maniacs were shouting hoarsely: "Great! Big! As a result, it was small, and many people's silver taels went into the pockets of the casino owners.
Fang Lei took out ten taels of silver, let the gambler change it into chips, and was about to start, can he win the bet? xh:.74.240.212
