Chapter 247: Lin Bai and Zhao Pu

"Boss, that's a lot of silver."

Lin Gu's body was still warm, and Lin Bai and the black rat had already found the silver he had hidden, and they were counting it beautifully.

"Take these, and hide the rest, black rat, you go dig a pit, bury this guy, and I'll hide the silver."

Lin Bai was also bold, knowing that Lin Gu was a small leader of a mysterious organization, and after killing Lin Gu, he planned to give him a magpie's nest dove to occupy.

The black rat buried Lin Gu's body, and Lin Bai hid the silver.

"After I go back, send a few brothers with families over, this house is good, and this will be our stronghold in the future."

With a few hundred taels of silver, Lin Bai and the black rat left Lin Gu's house and went straight to the Qinhuai River.

Get on the boat during the day...... It's not that it's not nothing, the main Lin Bai is ready to act alone, and he must arrange the black rat first.

"Lao Tzu is going to do something, my little brother is an honest child, leave it to you, you are not allowed to bully him."

"Master Lin, don't worry, I guarantee that after you come back, this little brother will become a man who has experienced strong winds and waves."

Lin Bai was in the Qinhuai River, naturally he also had a good powder, and after placing the black rats, Lin Bai left the Qinhuai River and went straight to the Fusheng Inn.

Zhao Pu was vigilant and began to prepare for evacuation, but he was still a little hesitant and fled like this, a little unwilling.

Lin Bai is a person who never suffers, and what he decides, he must do.

He wanted to catch this shopkeeper named Sun Liang and hang him in the Yangtze River as bait.

What Zhao Pu and Lin Bai didn't know was that their every move had already fallen into Liu Bowen's eyes.

"Master, you are really amazing, you can find out Zhao Pu's hiding place through this method."

Zhu Junsheng is full of admiration, Liu Bowen has now accepted him as an apprentice, and he can officially call Liu Bowen his master.

"Bluffing, so set up a suspicious formation, find another way, investigate secretly, use your brains more in everything, think carefully before and after, since Zhao Pu is in Jinling City, there will always be some clues."

Liu Bowen Ming ordered people to search intensively in the Qinhuai River flower boats, academies, literary halls and other places, not only to find Zhao Pu, but also for Guo Zongxun's next plan layout.

Secretly, Liu Bowen mobilized Jinyiwei to conduct secret visits to all the most basic administrative personnel in Jinling City.

In a city, the people who are most familiar with the surrounding people are the residents' committees, the neighborhood offices, and the police stations.

In the Great Zhou, it is called the county office, the fishing house and the chief.

The county government and the arresting house followed the Great Zhou Forbidden Army to carry out an intensive search of the whole city.

The lieutenant chief is exactly what Liu Bowen ordered people to focus on.

This is also Guo Zongxun's reminder to him, to believe in the power of the people, to catch fugitives, the people are definitely a big help.

The one who is most familiar with the surrounding people is the chief who manages this area.

Who is new and who is an old neighbor, the chief is a clear door.

When Jin Yiwei found out the lieutenant chief of Zhao Pu's area, he found that this person had just left a few days ago, saying that he was going back to his hometown for funeral.

Under Liu Bowen's meticulous request, Jin Yiwei found the eldest man's hometown, but found that there were no dead people at his house, not only were there no dead people, but he was still doing happy events.

After the chief went home, he took two concubines at once, and he was having a good time.

This is obviously a windfall.

After capturing the lieutenant, according to his confession, it was Sun Liang, the shopkeeper of the Fusheng Inn, who gave him a large sum of money and asked him to help hide his identity.

Moreover, just after the first time the officers and soldiers searched the Fusheng Inn, Sun Liang gave the chief another sum of silver, asking him to leave Jinling, where he likes, and don't come back anyway.

Fusheng Inn found a suspicious point, and under the secret surveillance of Jinyiwei, it was basically determined that Sun Liang, the shopkeeper of the inn, was Zhao Pu that Liu Bowen was looking for.

determined Zhao Pu's hiding place, and Liu Bowen did not rush to close the net.

Because, another task given to him by the little emperor Guo Zongxun has not yet been completed.

The mastermind behind Yan Yun's abduction of children under the banner of cultivating immortals has not been completely investigated, and it is only known that it is related to Jiangnan Buddhism.

"The monks are mad and unworthy of being monks, and when the net is closed, I will definitely not spare them, but the people behind the scenes, I will not let him go."

Guo Zongxun and Liu Bowen always suspected that behind the Jiangnan Buddhism Gate was Zhao Kuangyin.

If Zhao Kuangyin really did something to fool the people and kidnap children, then ...... Guo Zongxun will be very disappointed in him.

"In that case, Zhao Kuangyin, you are not worthy of being my opponent."

Therefore, Liu Bowen was patient and asked Jinyiwei to closely monitor the Fusheng Inn, and as a result, the situation was discovered again.

"Master, Lin Bai, a thief of Jinfan, appeared at the Fusheng Inn, and after they stayed, they came out of the inn and went to the house of a pawnshop shopkeeper called Lin Gu, killed people and goods, killed Lin Gu, and turned out a lot of silver from Lin Gu's house."

Zhu Junsheng is now in charge of helping Liu Bowen gather and organize intelligence.

"Jinfan thief Lin Bai? It's not that this person is different from other bandits, he is not a murderer, but a righteous thief, how could he run to Jinling to kill people? ”

"The reason for Lin Bai's murder has not yet been clarified, but after he killed Lin Gu, he buried the body and hid the silver taels, and then took his companion Wu Rat to the Qinhuai River, left the Wu Rat in a flower boat, and returned to the Fusheng Inn himself."

"Got it, let people keep an eye on it, Lin Bai's appearance is a variable, originally Dugusheng still wanted to recruit him, if this guy is really a robber who kills people and sells goods, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Bai swaggered back to the Fusheng Inn, saw the shopkeeper, and took the initiative to say hello.

"Shopkeeper, business is good."

Zhao Pu raised his head and said with a smile:

"Guest, are you back? What about your companions? ”

Lin Bai also used a pseudonym in the Fusheng Inn, and his big name was not said to be able to stop children crying at night in the Jiangnan area, which was also notorious.

"The shopkeeper has a good memory, I sent my brother to Qinhuai River to live happily, hehe, he's still a chick, let him go and get wet."

Lin Bai elbowed his elbow on the counter and glanced at the wine cabinet behind Zhao Pu, which was filled with all kinds of small jars of water and wine.

"Why don't you stay, guest officer, but I heard that the sisters on the Qinhuai River are very good at serving guests."

Zhao Puhui pointed to a jar of famous wine spirits in the middle of the wine cabinet, and looked at Lin Bai with an inquiring gaze.

"I'll go over at night, don't you have anything serious to do during the day, tsk, Liehou, I've heard about it a long time ago, but it's a pity, I can't afford to drink......"

After speaking, Lin Baiba sighed a few times, looked at Zhao Pu with interest, and asked:

"The shopkeeper is not a local, Jinling speaks quite fluently, but he comes from the north."

Zhao Pu was shocked, he had never shown the slightest flaw in his disguise until now, why was he seen by this guy at a glance?

"Guest, your eyes are really poisonous, but how do you see it?"

Zhao Pu wasn't sure if Lin Bai was lying to him, but he didn't dare to say no, in case Lin Bai really found any flaws, and he didn't admit it, it would be even more suspicious.

It's better to admit it, there's nothing from the north, isn't I still disguised, he can't see it.

"Really, it seems that I guessed right, I won't tell you, I, a natural dog-nosed, all the guys in your inn, including you, should be from the north, because...... The incense you usually use is different from our Jinling. ”

Zhao Pu suddenly realized, in the end, it was still a hundred secrets, incense, he didn't pay attention to it, he was used to Kaifeng production, and he just brought a lot, so he kept using it, but he didn't expect this to be a flaw.

However, ordinary people really can't tell the difference between incense, and can distinguish the smell of incense, whether it's rose or osmanthus, or sandalwood.

But if you smell it, you can tell if it's from the north or the south...... That's a bit of a big deal.

"Guest officer, you are really tight, this is all for you to smell, this is brought to me by a relative in my hometown, it is a waste not to put it aside, so I brought it here, I also thought that I could make the guests smell the incense and be happy, but I didn't expect that there is a difference between the incense in the north and the south."

Lin Bai squeezed his eyes at Zhao Pu, lowered his voice and said:

"Shopkeeper, Ming people don't say secret words, your fake beard is quite realistic......"

After speaking, Lin Bai laughed, turned around and went upstairs, leaving a stunned Zhao Pu.

Lin Bai was born as a bandit, and he usually has to change his appearance when he comes to Kaifeng, and when it comes to disguise, he dares to say first, and no one dares to say second.

In addition, his nose is very smart, and he can smell the smell of the materials used in disguise utensils as soon as he smells it, so he has already discovered Zhao Pu's flaws.

Originally, he didn't want to expose it, everyone has a secret, maybe the other party is also on the road, if he rashly exposes him, it will break the rules.

Coincidentally, the person he was looking for to deceive him was the shopkeeper of this inn, and this time Lin Bai was not welcome.

"Small, play with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you......"

Lin Bai whistled, went upstairs, began to change his appearance when he entered the house, and changed into night clothes.

"Lao Tzu has calculated that you are going to run tonight, and Lao Tzu is waiting for you to run out."

Zhao Pu watched Lin Bai's figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, and his face became gloomy.

I can't stay here, I don't know what the other party is doing, but the other party has seen two flaws in him one after another......

But the other party did not expose him in public, but lowered his voice to tell him, which shows that the other party may just want to blackmail him.

How can Zhao Pu be blackmailed casually, he gave him the silver today, and he will come to ask for it tomorrow, whether you give it or not.

Kill somebody to do away with a witness?

No, this guy looks like a practitioner, he is used to running on the rivers and lakes, in case someone is not killed, the matter is big, Jinling City is so tight now, the forbidden army patrolling can arrive in an instant.

Zhao Pu decided, quietly, the guys at the inn...... If he doesn't bring it, he has to run by himself.

If all of them are withdrawn at this time, the movement will be too big, and once it is discovered by the forbidden army or the Jinyi guards......

It's better to run by yourself, the goal is small, as long as you can find a way to get out of Jinling City, there are still people outside the city who respond.

As for the inn and the people in the city, they have been ordered to lie dormant, and as long as they are okay, there is still a chance to kill them again.

Zhao Pu beckoned a guy over, saying that he was a little sleepy, and he wanted to go back to the house to sleep for a while, let him watch it first, don't call him for dinner, and let the back kitchen cook something when he wakes up.

Zhao Pu returned to his room, and immediately changed into his night clothes, and changed his face again, making it look different.

You can't be a dog's nose.

At night, Zhao Pu's room was still closed, and the guys listened to his orders and didn't dare to disturb, and at this time, Zhao Pu had quietly climbed out of the window.

When he first chose a room, Zhao Pu deliberately chose a room with a backstreet outside the window, and he didn't choose a room, only a C on the second floor.

Jumping out of the window this way won't hurt you.

After jumping out of the window, Zhao Pu hid his tracks, did not take the street, and specially looked for small alleys to walk, which was also the retreat route he had figured out in advance.

Now you can't go to the temple to find the people of Jiangnan Buddhism, when they are in trouble, who knows if these guys will fall into the well.

Zhao Pu's goal was the south gate of Jinling City, and when he went out of the south gate, there was a village thirty miles away from the suburbs, and there was a stronghold for them.

"Master, Zhao Pu ran away, he ran away by himself, Lin Bai also followed, both of them were disguised, but they were still recognized by Jinyiwei."

In ancient times, disguise was nothing more than sticking a beard and making a wig, and not everyone could get a human skin mask.

"Lin Bai didn't run with Zhao Pu, but quietly followed Zhao Pu, so it seems that he didn't come to pick up Zhao Pu out of the city, now it's interesting, order to go down and strive to catch both."

As soon as Liu Bowen ordered to go down here, the news came over there again.

"Master, that Lin Bai preempted us to make a move, he arrested Zhao Pu, and the person in charge of our tracking has not yet received the order to arrest him, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he is following......

Liu Bowen twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, then commanded:

"Send more people, continue to follow, if my guess is right, this may be a dog-eat-dog show, Junsheng, what can you guess?"

"Master, the apprentice guesses that it was Zhao Pu who instigated the water bandits to hijack the ships of the Great Zhou, it should be because of the entanglement of interests, Zhao Pu broke his promise here, Lin Bai was unwilling to be deceived, this is the one who came to ask for an account."

Liu Bowen nodded, this apprentice was not harvested in vain, he is indeed a good seedling, and it is worth cultivating.

"You go and invite General Yang, it's our business to arrest Zhao Pu, and we can't rob General Yang of the credit for catching the water bandits."

The Governor's Mansion and the Town Guard Envoy's Mansion were together, and Yang Ye arrived quickly, and Zhu Junsheng told him about it on the way.

"General Yang, let's go, let's go and have a look, we should be able to catch two fish, one big and one small, the big fish will be mine, and the small fish will be yours."

The two took dozens of brocade guards from the Governor's Mansion and rushed to the south gate of Jinling City, and halfway through, the news changed again.

"My lord, Lin Bai knocked Zhao Pu unconscious, put him in a sack, hired a boat at the ferry, and went to the direction of the Qinhuai River."

"Hurry over and tell them to prepare their boats, and have a few more to keep them in order."

Liu Bowen and Yang Ye set their horses to rush to the Qinhuai River, and the two were still chatting on the way.

"Lord Liu, what do you say this Jinfan thief Lin Bai is going to do, he has caught Zhao Pu but he wants to run to the Qinhuai River."

"He should have gone to pick up his companions, and then continued to escape from Jinling City by water from the Qinhuai River."

"Then what should I do, once he runs from the Waiqinhuai River to the Yangtze River, this guy is originally a water bandit, and if he wants to arrest him again when he enters the Yangtze River, it will be difficult."
