Chapter 62: The Four Seas Gang
Shui Qingxiang sat in the most expensive restaurant in the town, sat down to drink tea with Wei Cang, and Murong Yiyou sat down next to the two of them.
"The water girl is good at solving cases, Wei has heard of it for a long time, but this case is not ordinary, Wei sees that she has one more mouth for the sake of knowing and being kind to the girl, and the girl in this case will not touch it." Wei Cang's voice was flat, and he couldn't see what the intention was.
This aroused Shui Qingxiang's interest: "Listening to what Lord Wei means, it seems that you know a lot about this case?" ”
"I don't know a lot, but I just know a little bit about it." Wei Cang made a few cups of tea very thoughtfully, and naturally handed a cup to Murong Yiyou first, then to himself, and finally to Shui Qingxiang.
Although Shui Qingxiang was surprised by his move, she had the case in her heart at the moment, and she didn't think much about it, so she asked again: "I don't know what Master Wei knows, can you sue one or two?" ”
"Have you found out who the dead man is?"
Shui Qingxiang shook her head. In these days, there are no computers, no household registration books, and you can come and go freely just by virtue of your identity documents, and this kind of handwritten documents are very likely to be faked.
"When you were inspecting the corpse in the Confucius Temple, I happened to take a look, the man looked a little familiar, did he only have one arm?"
"Exactly."
"If my guess is correct, that person is the current leader of the Four Seas Gang. This Four Seas Gang dominated the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, Bai Dao was frightened, and the underworld was like a god, but unfortunately more than ten years ago, the former gang leader Niu Yan suddenly disappeared, and the current gang leader is this letter. "I didn't expect this Wei Cang to still be an intelligence officer, and everything from so many years ago was clear.
Shui Qingxiang frowned, not knowing how much water was in Wei Cang's news: "The boss of the underworld, is actually a disabled person who is missing an arm?" ”
"More than ten years ago, he was not an arm, and his strength was second only to the previous gang leader, but I heard that the former gang leader Niu Yan disappeared with a treasure map, and as the new gang leader, he was often approached by people to ask for a treasure map, and even heard that he himself was also very interested in the treasure map. It's just that the Four Seas Gang rose up at a time when the country was in turmoil, and when the emperor ascended the throne, many gangs were swept away, and the Four Seas Gang bore the brunt. Hearing that the three of them were besieged by the enemy, Feng Yan lost an arm to save his life. ”
Murong Yiyou is also a person who likes to listen to stories, and when he heard Wei Cang talk about the past of the previous dynasty, there were many little stars flashing in his eyes, and he asked with interest: "What is the origin of this Four Seas Gang?" Never like I've ever heard of it? ”
"The Four Seas Gang is the largest underworld gang in the rivers and lakes of the former dynasty, and most of them usually do some robbery and robbery, and often commit crimes in the Jiangnan area, I heard that they also set up checkpoints on many trade roads, and they can only pass through after buying their gang orders, otherwise they will rob your goods at the least, and kill the delivery people at the worst, and destroy you all over the house."
Murong Yiyou was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this, "Can such a sect still allow them to survive in the world?" ”
Wei Cang had a faint smile on his face, as if he was amused by Murong Yiyou's expression at the moment, "It was because of their perverse actions that they were destroyed by the first emperor, and the three brothers and sisters of the Feng family are also like rats crossing the street, rarely appearing in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect Feng Yan to die in such a small town." ”
Shui Qingxiang heard some clues: "Master Wei, just now you said that the Feng family is obviously three brothers and sisters, why did you only see Feng Yan?" It stands to reason that if the three brothers and sisters really fled here, and Feng Yan encountered any trouble, the other brothers and sisters would definitely help, at least they would report to the official after their death, why was there no movement at all? ”
"This is also what I think is strange, since Feng Yan broke his arm, he fled to the rivers and lakes with his younger brothers and sisters, some people say that the three of them have practiced peerless martial arts, but if they shoot together, they can put the enemy in a place where they will never recover. If they are in danger, it is impossible not to help. ”
"There is another possibility...... Maybe all three of their siblings were killed, but the bodies of the other two have not been found. Shui Qingxiang said what she envisioned.
"No, I'll get the county office." I have to tell the news to Yoo Young-yi as soon as possible, and send more people to search.
Shui Qingxiang was an anxious child, and as soon as she thought of this, she stood up and wanted to leave.
"The water girl is really diligent in her official duties." Wei Cang said with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Seeing Shui Qingxiang walking away, Wei Cang asked the young man beside him in a respectful tone: "Lord, when do you plan to reveal your identity to her?" ”
"I'll talk about it then, I think she's pretty funny." A smile appeared on the corner of the boy's mouth.
Shui Qingxiang hurried to the county government and told Liu Yingyi about the information she got from Wei Cang, and Liu Yingyi immediately sent Qin Yanjia to send people to search for outsiders who had recently come to the county.
"My lord, I think most of these masters will not run to crowded places, and it is very likely that they will be the same as the male corpse found in the Confucius Temple before." Mizuharuka put forward her opinion.
Liu Yingyi also agreed, which is also what he admires about Shui Qingxiang, others are busy making mistakes, and the more critical she is, the more sober her mind becomes, and she can even think of things that others don't pay attention to.
"Pass on my words, all the catchers should search along the perimeter of Dongzi County, especially the place where no one has ever passed by recently but there are footprints, and we must find this person as soon as possible."
Dongzi County, which has always been peaceful, suddenly appeared a martial arts master who can shatter people's bones with one palm, and this master is very likely to be a person in the underworld of the rivers and lakes, no matter how you think about it, it is not very reassuring.
After passing the message to Liu Yingyi, Shui Qingxiang went home again, and Shui Dali sat in the yard breaking corn with a bad face.
"Dad, have you eaten?" Shui Qingxiang didn't know if Shui Dali was still angry.
"I've eaten it, I've left you a serving, and it's hot in the pot." Shui Dali didn't raise his head and did the work in his hands, but listening to that tone, he shouldn't be angry again.
Shui Qingxiang was unhappy because she was going to close the shop before, Shui Qingxiang's original intention was to let Shui Dali enjoy her old age as soon as possible, but in Shui Dali's ears, it became a burden to get rid of him.
Since he made his own meal, it showed that he was not angry again, Shui Qingxiang took out the hot meal in a relaxed mood, and reminded Shui Dali while eating, "Dad, don't go out if you can go out these days, we have a martial arts master in the town, who can break people's bones with one palm, and this person is being found everywhere in the yamen, so it is safer to stay at home." ”
Shui vigorously broke the corn hand stopped, and the expression on his face was a little strange: "One palm can break a person's bones, you are telling a joke." ”
"Of course not, the bodies have all been found, and they are in the Confucius Temple."
"That must be revenge, what does it have to do with me?" Shui Dali's eyes stared at Shui Qingxiang for a moment, not knowing how much temptation there was in what she said.
"I don't know if it's revenge, but there must be more than one person who died anyway. Such a master comes to our town, and if he disagrees, he will kill people, so we have to be a little more careful. ”
Shui Qingxiang was just halfway through the meal, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, Shui vigorously opened the door, and saw a little catcher wearing an official uniform at the door urging: "Is the water girl at home?" Lord Yanagi asked you to come over, and there is a new discovery. ”
