Chapter 42: The Microphone
As the night deepened, Jinling City fell silent in the wind and snow, there was still some laughter and laughter on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and only the husband in the robe walked by occasionally.
In the inconspicuous northeast corner of the city, Wu Wei, a wild Taoist, returned from the banks of the Qinhuai River and returned to the inn where he settled. The inn is located in a civilian area in the east city, and there are many dart games, and the people of the rivers and lakes also like to connect here.
Wu Wei's brother Xue Yi was chased to death by the wolf guard, and this revenge must be counted as not being a share.
For a few days, Wu Wei has been secretly staring at Xu Buling's movements by virtue of his extraordinary light skills. Xu Buling did not hide his whereabouts, he went back and forth between the Lu family and the book club at two o'clock every day, even if he was alone, Wu Wei did not have the courage to go over to say hello, and at present, it seems that there is no chance of revenge at all.
At this time, only Xiao Er was left in the inn sitting at the door waiting for the late guests, Wu Wei entered the living room with a sword, and saw Chang Shijian, the helmsman of the Eagle Tower, who was connected with him, sitting at the table and eating green onion noodles.
Chang Shijian's body was dusty, obviously just arrived in Jinling City, and there was a long strip wrapped in black cloth on the table, which looked like a weapon.
Seeing this, Wu Wei put away his thoughts, walked quickly to the table, raised his hand and said hello:
"Brother Chang."
Chang Shijian raised his chopsticks to let Wu Wei sit down, and after finishing the noodles in two mouthfuls, he exhaled:
"I just came from Hangzhou, and I have an errand for you. I remember that your brother Xue Yi, who was broken in Chang'an, seems to be a distant relative of Xue Chengzhi? ”
Wu Wei sat down across the table and poured two cups of tea: "That's true, my brother has a good iron spear, and according to his generation, he is Xue Chengzhi's nephew, but the Liuhemen family has a big business, and the Xue family's disciples are everywhere, and the relationship is not close." At the beginning of the year, I gave my niece Xiao Peach Blossom to find a master, and her talent was good in Xue Chengzhi's eyes, and I had been in contact with Xue Chengzhi for two days with this relationship, and I could speak. ”
Chang Shijian nodded, and pushed the sword wrapped in black cloth on the table to Wu Wu:
"I asked the people of the Wang family to inquire a few days ago, and the remaining two pieces of jade are all in Xu Buling's hands, and I have to find a way to get them back. The people above discussed, King Wu was not easy to do here, and wanted Xue Chengzhi to do it. You have the best light work, and you know Xue Chengzhi again, so you should go to Suzhou as soon as possible......"
When Wu Wei heard this, his eyes condensed slightly, and he leaned a little closer:
"Let Xue Chengzhi kill people and take the jade?"
Chang Shijian's eyes were a little helpless, and he waved his hand: "Xue Chengzhi is not stupid, how can he help King Wu kill the prince of Su, if you really want to kill Xu Buling, it is impossible for you and me to pass the word, mainly for the sake of jade." Xue Chengzhi is a native of the rivers and lakes, and it is reasonable to collect jade to find the "Tongtian Treasure Book", and it will not make Xu Buling suspicious. Moreover, Xue Chengzhi's status in the rivers and lakes is transcendent, and the entire Jiangnan can talk to Xu Buling face-to-face, and Xu Buling is the only one who dares to make a mistake. You bring King Wu's brand and this knife to Xue Chengzhi, and let him exchange the jade with this treasure knife, and in the future, King Wu will greet the local government in Taizhou, and turn a blind eye to the matter of Liuhemen's darts, and benefit each other. ”
Wu Wei nodded lightly, it was a simple errand to say.
The martial arts circle in Jiangnan is not large, Xue Chengzhi is a well-deserved leader boss, and the Liuhe gun created by the Liuhe Gate is still a compulsory kung fu in the Dayue army, as long as he is in the army, he will basically have both hands. For this reason, Dayue's military generals all respect Xue Chengzhi, ten years ago, the Iron Eagle hunted deer, and the imperial court did not move the Liuhe Gate.
Xue Chengzhi is relatively old, and he is the same generation as the old sword saint Zhu Choushan, following the tradition of the old-school Jianghu people, and the boundary between the government and the government is very clear, and the main livelihood is to help Jiangnan businessmen press ships. Jianghu people generally don't look at what is in the box, and the money will be sent to you after receiving it, so many large smugglers will find private darts to help escort them, and the government will naturally block and find trouble along the way if they can't collect taxes.
If King Wu said hello to the government of Taizhou and turned a blind eye to the dart held by Liuhe Gate, Xue Chengzhi would not want to conflict with the government, so he would naturally be happy. And taking the treasure knife and Xu Buling for jade, it will not hurt the peace, with Xue Chengzhi's reputation as 'Iron Spear Hero', Xu Buling may not dare not give face.
Wu Wu, a wild man, rubbed his fingers, slid the treasure knife on the table in front of him, and frowned;
"Tonight, Xu Buling slaughtered Yang Yingxiong, does Brother Chang know about this?"
Chang Shijian wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, shook his head and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, so what can they do." ”
"Will King Wu be angry about this?"
"This ......"
Chang Shijian pondered a little and sighed: "Yang Yingxiong can do such a big thing in Jinling, it must be King Wu who greeted him behind his back." Nanshan Port collects so much real money and silver every year, and it is not all given to King Wu, otherwise I fight Eagle Tower and other forces, what do I rely on to eat and do things? Chopping Yang Yingxiong with such a knife is equivalent to cutting a piece of meat on King Wu's body, how can he not be angry. ”
Da Yinglou only came into contact with King Wu three years ago, and it was at that time that he began to frantically recruit people to expand the scale. Walking the rivers and lakes also have to eat and dress, and the recruited people can't always pay their own money to do things for the Eagle Tower, and the Eagle Tower does not tie up tickets to rob the road to do business, and the source of the money must rely on the big money behind the King Wu.
King Wu is planning a big thing, and the forces he has secretly cultivated are not only fighting Eagle Tower, these financial expenditures are not visible, they are all squeezed out of various gray areas, and Nanshan Port is indeed losing a large piece of meat.
Wu Wei nodded and thought about it for a while: "If Xu Buling kills Yang Yingxiong, it will definitely be difficult for Nanshan Port to continue to collect cash." Since King Wu is angry, will he not order Xu Buling......"
Chang Shijian naturally understood the meaning and waved his hand: "This kind of thing, even I can't know about it, and it's not our turn to worry about it." Xu Buling is about to leave for Hangzhou, and he has to start on the way, and the time is in a hurry, so you quickly bring the words over...... By the way, let Xue Chengzhi pay attention to proportion, don't say a word wrong and kill Xu Buling, the above specially told this matter......"
Wu Wei listened quietly to Chang Shijian's instructions, his fingers tapped the treasure knife on the table, and his eyes rolled a few times before he nodded: "Brother Chang, don't worry, just leave it to me." ”
After speaking, he stood up and walked out of the inn quickly with a long knife wrapped in black cloth.
Chang Shijian finished arranging things, ordered another bowl of noodles, sat at the table and thought about it, faintly felt that something was wrong, got up and went out to tell Wu Wu a few words, but unfortunately the street was empty, and Wu Wu, who was superb in light skills, had already disappeared......
