Chapter 491: The Strange Qiao Family (1)
Old Man Qiao shook his head, just stared at Xu Dong, and said: "This is also something we have always wanted to figure out, if it is just revenge between gangs, although our Qiao family is not strong at the moment, there is still a chance to give it a go, but if it is for Jiajun's own reasons, we can't do anything." ”
In New York's Chinatown, there are all kinds of gangs, and most of the conflicts between gangs and gangs are solved by themselves, in other words, if there is a conflict between those two gangs, and the leader fights, then it can only be the hard fist of the gang, and whoever says the truth is the truth, no matter whether they win or lose, basically they will not let the police and prosecutors intervene.
Therefore, figuring out the reason for Qiao Jiajun's disappearance should be a top priority.
"No......" The fat man finally resisted Xu Dong's pressure and cried out: "No, I mean that whether you are missing or kidnapped, this job is what the police should do, you have to analyze the reason, it's useless to look for us, we are not professional!" ”
Old Man Qiao said: "Little Brother Xu, your information, Brother Mu Yuan Shanmu has also told me a lot, the reason why Xue'er invited you over, I do believe in your ability." ”
Old Man Qiao said very bluntly, Xu Dong helped Mu Siqing solve several big cases in Tongcheng, this should be what Mu Siqing told Mu Yuanshan, and Old Man Qiao knew it from Mu Yuanshan, which made Xu Dong unable to deny it.
"In fact, to investigate this matter, at present, we have not announced it to the outside world, and it is basically still in a state of secrecy, because I can't startle the snake until I find out the clear reason, right, so Brother Xu, Brother Wang, you two are the best candidates who are the least eye-catching."
"Of course, the ability of the two little brothers is the most important thing." Old Man Qiao added.
Xu Dong brushed his thoughts, and after a while, he said, "Old man, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
Old Man Qiao nodded: "It's okay to say it directly." ”
"That Uncle Qiao came to Tongcheng and told me that you are seriously ill and still need dragon scale grass to maintain your life, is this true?"
After all, in front of Old Man Qiao, the title of Qiao Chusheng can no longer be called Qiao Chusheng "that guy", "old boy" and the like like in the two of them with the fat man before, that is really embarrassing, and it is to throw the face of the Chinese people to New York.
Therefore, Xu Dong also called "Uncle Qiao" in a proper manner.
It's just that Xu Dong didn't expect that as soon as Old Man Qiao heard the words "Dragon Scale Grass", his face suddenly changed greatly: "What, Dragon Scale Grass, you have to go to find Dragon Scale Grass, but it won't work...... You must not do that! ”
The fat man smiled on the side again: "Old man, isn't it the dragon scale grass, what can be done, what can be done, our brother Dong has already found the dragon scale grass, and it has been handed over to Qiao...... Joe...... Uncle Qiao? ”
"You ...... You found the dragonscales? And...... And it was handed over to the newborn? Old Man Qiao stood up, but then he suddenly sat down again, his chest fell together, he gasped a few times, and coughed.
It seems that the dragon scale grass is a great stimulus to Old Man Qiao, but Xu Dong and the fat man really don't know what's going on.
Seeing that Old Man Qiao was made out of breath by the fat man in a few words, Xu Dong patted Old Man Qiao's chest and back, glared at the fat man, and said angrily: "Go along, if you want to talk nonsense again, I'll kick you......"
The fat man was also taken aback, he really didn't expect that the matter of the dragon scale grass would make Old Man Qiao react like this, and as soon as Xu Dong drank it, the fat man suddenly turned around, climbed onto the bed, draped a quilt on his body, and then sat down cross-legged.
Finally smoothed his breath, Old Man Qiao coughed again, and then sighed and said: "I really didn't see the wrong person, you can actually get the dragon scale grass, alas, it's ......"
Xu Dong was a little confused for a while, what happened to Qiao Chusheng? How can you joke about your father's health, obviously my father's body is very good, but I have to say that the old man is no longer ready, and he has to go to find dragon scale grass all his life.
What's going on here?
It's just that before Xu Dong could ask again, Old Man Qiao said again: "Little Brother Xu, it seems that our Qiao family, the last hope is also on you, Little Brother Xu, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Qiao actually stood up, and then knelt down again.
Xu Dong was taken aback, what is the identity of Old Man Qiao, how old is he, how can he afford to kneel himself.
At that moment, Xu Dong hurriedly hugged Old Man Qiao and said, "Grandpa Qiao, I can't help it, if you have something to say, if you always say this, I ...... I can't afford ......"
Old Man Qiao knelt on the ground, stared at Xu Dong, and said, "Little Brother Xu, no matter what, please help our Qiao family in the face of the old man, otherwise, I will ...... I will not be blinded. ”
Xu Dong didn't dare to let Old Man Qiao kneel for a long time, and with a slight force in his hand, he lifted Old Man Qiao up, and then said: "To be honest, this trip, the fat man and I were originally reluctant to come over, the reason is just that Miss Qiao didn't make it clear, since there is such a big thing in Grandpa Qiao'......s family, I can not care about it."
As he spoke, he turned his head to the stunned fat man and said, "This favor, where we can help, we will definitely not refuse, right, fat man......"
The fat man woke up like a dream, nodded his head constantly, and agreed without a word: "Yes, yes, who are I and Brother Dong?" That's the most unseen person doing anything wrong, in a word, this matter is wrapped up in me and Dongge...... Belch...... No, as long as you can use the place, old man, you can ...... it."
In a fit of excitement, the fat man almost had to be cheap again, and took this matter over.
Seeing that Xu Dong and the fat man both agreed, Old Man Qiao no longer knelt down, but he didn't go to the sofa, but turned around the room twice, sighed several times, and then seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and said to Xu Dong: "Brother Xu, I'm sorry, I hid something from you before......"
Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to or can't tell outsiders, and Old Man Qiao is slow to tell Xu Dong some things, and Xu Dong can also understand.
However, at this time, Old Man Qiao didn't plan to hide it, but made Xu Dong faintly feel that there should be some little-known inside stories behind Qiao Jiajun's disappearance.
But the fat man sat on the bed and asked, "Why?" What's going on? ”
Old Man Qiao sighed and replied, "If you want to explain this matter clearly, you have to start from many years ago. ”
Xu Dong knew that many years ago, the four families of Mu, Qiao, Long, and Fang were all digging graves and robbing graves and making money from the dead, and the four families had been doing this for the past few decades before they all washed their hands.
This old thing was originally nothing to listen to, but Old Man Qiao said that it should have something to do with Qiao Jiajun, so Xu Dong naturally had to listen carefully.
Old Man Qiao said that that year, Mu Yuanshan, Old Man Qiao, Long Qiusheng, and Fang Jia's hook went to a tomb together, and encountered an incomprehensible thing. ”
The fat man sat on the bed and said with a smile: "When the old man went to that place, was it on the Silk Road, a place called Tianshen Castle?" ”
Old Man Qiao looked at the fat man and Xu Dong strangely again, and after a while, he choked and said, "You also know that place?" ”
Xu Dong nodded and replied, "It's not a secret, in there, we also encountered incredible things, and the name of Tianshen Castle was only known when we happened to meet Miss Qiao later." ”
"Uh...... the fat man "uh", and then said: "Also, that Fang family's hook is said to have died in that place?" ”
"What...... Old Man Qiao cried out in a lost voice: "You mean, Fang family...... Brother Fang is...... It's dead there! ”
Xu Dong nodded again, the skeleton outside the tomb gate of the Heavenly God Castle, according to Mu Siqing's speculation, should be the Fang family's Mr. Hook!
After a long while, Old Man Qiao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas...... I'm really old......"
Old man Qiao has white hair, to say the least, he is in his sixties and seventies, and he is already old, but unfortunately, when he has reached this age, Old Man Qiao is not convinced of old age.
Therefore, the fat man smiled and said: "Old man, where are you old, Huang Zhong only left with Liu Bei at sixty, Tokugawa Ieyasu was seventy and fought the world, Jiang Ziya was eighty for Prime Minister She Taijun was 100 years old, Sun Wukong was 500 years old, Bai Suzhen was more than 1,000 years old and went down the mountain to fall in love, old man, you are still very young......"
It's just that the fat guy was scolded by Xu Dong fiercely without exception, and the fat man who scolded him quickly lay on the bed, and he didn't dare to make a sound for a long time.
After scolding the fat man, Xu Dongcai turned his head and said to Old Man Qiao: "Old man, I'm sorry, my brother owes this mouth to the problem, and the old man has a lot of tolerance." ”
Old Man Qiao was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, ah, don't talk about this, little brother Xu, you said, at the beginning, you didn't know that place was Tianshen Castle, and then you met Xue'er, and you only knew, right?" ”
Xu Dong didn't hide it, and explained the causes and consequences of the trip to Tianshen Castle, and finally said: "Actually, Fang Jiawei originally wanted to calculate us, but his luck was not as good as mine. ”
Old Man Qiao sighed and muttered: "Alas, this matter was leaked by that kid after all, and I really don't know if this time it is a catastrophe or karma." ”
The fat man couldn't help but get out of the quilt and said, "Old man Qiao, whether it's a catastrophe or karma, what is the connection between Qiao Jiajun's disappearance and the Heavenly Castle, you haven't made it clear yet......"
As soon as he finished saying this, the fat man immediately retracted his head back into the quilt and covered himself tightly with the quilt, saving Xu Dong from having to blame himself for talking too much.
