Chapter 8 Bounty
Dongmen Qing and Zhang Wei were drinking to celebrate, they had just had a heart, they were in a good mood, shouting and screaming when drinking, unscrupulous, and suddenly someone outside the door shouted: "What is so happy!" ”
Zhang Wei could hear this voice, his face showed joy, and he said to Dongmenqing: "It's He Yue, I didn't expect him to come, you want to go to sea, just entrust him to do it!" ”
Dongmenqing didn't know who this He Yue was, but listening to Zhang Wei's statement, he must be a very well-connected person. Over there, Wu Chuan opened the door early to bring He Yue in, but it was a person who looked like a bookkeeper, with two mustaches on his mouth, and his eyes narrowed into a line. ”
He Yue laughed and said, "I just heard about a big deal, firstly, I can't gnaw it alone, and secondly, if I have money, we have to make it together, so I came to discuss it with Brother Zhang." ”
Zhang Wei sighed, and Huang Long hurriedly asked, "What big deal?" ”
He Yue was about to speak, when he suddenly looked up and saw Dongmenqing, he couldn't help but be stunned, his brows twisted for a while, and asked Zhang Wei: "This is ......?"
"It's a new and sturdy good friend! Wang Qing, Brother Wang! Zhang Wei introduced the two of them, Huang Long Wuchuan overlooked the matter of Dongmen Qing and did not mention it, first talked about Dongmen Qing's righteous deeds, and then introduced He Yue to Dongmen Qing, saying that He Yue was a person who ate very well in Yuegang, and he was very well-informed in all aspects, and said to He Yue: "Brother Wang is about to go to sea, this matter has to bother Lao He you." ”
He Yue's face was full of embarrassment, and he said: "Don't say that it is entrusted by Brother Zhang, even because of Brother Wang's righteousness, I am also duty-bound to help." ”
Zhang Wei raised his eyebrows and said to Dongmenqing: "If you have the words of the shopkeeper, you will be sure of going to sea!" Dongmen Qing was also happy when he heard it, and Zhang Wei asked He Yue again: "By the way, Brother He just said the business, but I don't know what it is." ”
He Yue said: "This business is not in a hurry, it is rare to meet such a good friend as Brother Wang tonight, just drink him and get drunk!" At present, the matter of buying and selling is behind! ”
Wu Chuan, Huang Long and others all shouted: "Not bad! You can say that again! ”
The five men sat down on the floor and began to drink. Zhang Wei drank wine, and one bowl was dried for three mouthfuls. Wu Ping had something in his heart, or he stayed for a long time without moving, and when he moved, he poured the whole bowl into his throat. He Yue drank but sucked and swallowed slowly, and he seemed to drink too much but too little. Dongmen Qing also slowly learned the drinking methods of these rough people, and no longer cared about the good or bad wine. Huang Long and Wu Chuan persuaded him to drink, and it didn't take long for Dongmen Qing to get drunk.
Dongmen Qing fell asleep on the ground after he was drunk, and he slept until he was almost dawn and suddenly urinated, and he got up in a daze to find the toilet, and accidentally kicked Wu Chuan next to him, Wu Chuan also fell asleep, and asked in a coma: "What?" ”
Dongmen Qing said: "Urgency, find a toilet." ”
Wu Chuan said: "What kind of bird toilet do we have here!" Just go outside and find a random place to sprinkle! After saying that, he fell asleep again.
Dongmen Qing pushed the door, only to find that the door was hidden, swayed and walked out, just find a place to relieve his hands, the cold wind blew, the person was awake for two minutes, he fastened his trouser pockets and was about to go back, suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement in the melon shed not far away, walked two steps closer, and heard someone talking, listening to the voice seemed to be Zhang Wei, followed by another voice, it seemed to be He Yue, Dongmen Qing just heard the sound of two people, as for what to say but couldn't hear clearly.
Dongmen Qing thought: "They are probably talking about buying and selling, well, then He Yue said before that he was not in a hurry, but in fact, most of them believed me, so they didn't say it in front of me." After all, it was the first time I met him, and he should have guarded against me. He didn't plan to intervene in the other party's business, and he thought that Zhang Wei was a friend, so it was not good to eavesdrop on their conversation, and he was about to leave, when suddenly two words came to the wind: "East Gate"!
Dongmen Qing was still three or four points confused, but as soon as these two words entered his ears, he was frightened and completely sobered up, changed his mind, the cat got down and gradually approached, he was afraid that he would be found by the two of them if he got too close, so he didn't dare to get too close, and he only stopped at the place where he could barely hear the words of the two clearly, and then listened to Zhang Weidao: "Are you really sure it's him?" ”
I heard He Yue say again: "That's right! A few days ago, this kid was just holding a banquet, and I just happened to help people give gifts, and I saw him in the crowd! He was only a few steps away from me, so I could see it! Definitely he's right! He didn't seem to recognize me, though. ”
After hearing these two sentences, Dongmen Qing knew that the two of them were really talking about themselves, and they were in a cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to move!
Zhang Wei was silent. He Yue said again: "This business has a lot to do!" If it does, this bounty will be enough for us to build a ship to sea! As long as we go to Japan a few times, we can enjoy this world of flowers, so why suffer from this poverty again? ”
Zhang Wei said: "If you had come to tell me yesterday, maybe I would have agreed." But now ......"
He Yue asked, "What about now!" ”
Zhang Wei said: "After all, he is a very righteous person, he is a good man!" ”
"What a hero!" He Yue said: "I think he is in a hurry to flee, so he spends money to buy people's hearts!" Besides, he didn't get the right money! ”
"Oh?" Zhang Wei asked, "Why is it not correct?" ”
He Yue said: "Have you heard about the fire at the Fuxing Inn in Zhangzhou?" ”
"Well," Zhang Wei said, "I heard that there were two charred corpses left, which is a rare headless public case in recent years." Yes! Do you doubt ......"
"Probably him." He Yue said: "I inquired, now not only Dongmen Ba is looking for him, it seems that Hong Dizhen is also looking for him. ”
"Hong Dizhen? What does he have to do with this? ”
Zhang Wei hasn't figured it out yet, but Dongmen Qing already knows the answer! Hong Dizhen, known as the Dragon Palace Maitreya, is one of the few maritime giants on the sea in Fujian, although the power is far less than Xu Dong and Wang Zhi, but he is a native of Zhangzhou, and he is considered a local snake in Yuegang, so in the minds of Zhang Wei, He Yue and other locals, Hong Dizhen's weight is only one shoulder away from Xu Dong and Wang Zhi. But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Hong Dizhen is Hong Ditong's brother!
Sure enough, He Yue said: "Of the two corpses in the Fuxing Inn, it is said that one of them is Hong Ditong's!" ”
Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he is a local, so naturally he won't know the relationship between Hong Dizhen and Hong Ditong! He Yue also said: "With Hong Dizhen's status, if he wants to find him with a slight mouth, he will never be without a reason!" Coupled with some other clues, I guess most of the fire in Fuxing Inn was also put by this kid! Now the situation is obvious, whether on land or in the sea, there are people looking for him! He is a son-in-law, how can he escape from this net? Even if we don't make this deal, most of the bargain will be taken advantage of by others! Besides, if Hong Dizhen knows that we are shielding him, you know what the consequences will be! ”
Zhang Wei said: "I'll think about it again. ”
"What else do you want!" He Yue said: "I heard that he didn't bring anything when he escaped from home, and now he suddenly has so much gold and silver, most of which he got after becoming Hong Ditong." In other words, what he used to buy people's hearts was stolen goods! ”
Zhang Weidao: "Even if it's stolen goods, he also has this heart after all!" Under the circumstances at that time, there was no need for him to lend this property to Wu Ping. I'm not afraid to do anything like killing people and selling goods! But if we have drunk with him and befriended him, and plotted against him, wouldn't that be a vile villain? ”
He Yue said: "Then you are planning to shield him?" Hum! Although you are popular in Yuegang, you still can't fight with Hong Dizhen! Although Hong Fatzi is known as the Dragon Palace Maitreya, he is really ruthless, and he will never be soft! Otherwise, how can you get it now? Not to mention Hong Dizhen, there is also Dongmen Ba's underworld pursuit and killing order! Dongmen Ba's face, but even Xu Longtou and Wang Wufeng have to be sold! ”
Zhang Wei stopped talking, and the scene became extremely quiet, leaving only the summer insects chirping rhythmically. Dongmen remembered happily: "When they say this, I'm afraid they will have to make a decision!" I'll be back as soon as I've decided! I need to get out of here! If they have negotiated, I am afraid they will not be able to leave! Although he hadn't heard Zhang Wei's decision yet, he also felt that Zhang Wei had no room to refuse, and He Yue's last few words actually had a threatening flavor.
After a while, He Yue began to speak again, all of them persuaded Zhang Wei not to be soft-hearted, not to be confused, as soon as he spoke, Dongmen Qing began to move away step by step, walked seven or eight steps, and suddenly He Yue shouted: "Who! Dongmen Qing was taken aback, and secretly screamed badly, but heard Wu Ping's voice say, "It's me." Boss Zhang, what is the shopkeeper, do you also come out to pee? ”
He Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, I can't sleep after I release my hand, so I will chat with Brother Zhang." ”
Dongmen Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and fled step by step, and when he fled to the front of the wine shop, he hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the hidden door, only to hear Huang Long and Wu Chuan still snoring. Dongmenqing grabbed the burden and was about to run away, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but it was Zhang Wei and He Yue who came back, Dongmenqing secretly screamed bitterly, and quickly lay down on the ground, pretending to be asleep.
When the three of them came back, they didn't say anything, and each found a place to sleep. It wasn't until dawn that Dongmen Qing pretended to wake up, covering his head and complaining about a headache, Zhang Wei smiled and said: "After a hangover, the next day will be like this." ”
It was too late to eat breakfast, and after messing around with something at noon, Zhang Wei said to Wu Ping: "You might as well go on the road, don't delay any longer." Wu Chuan, Huang Long and others all said yes, so Wu Ping didn't say anything, brought some dry food and said goodbye to everyone.
Dongmen Qingxin said: "You won't be afraid that he will have some incense for me, so urge him to go on the road." He wanted to excuse himself and leave, but he was worried that the other party would see through the mechanism. Besides, I am not familiar with the life in Yuegang, if I break my face, even if I can get away with this small shop, I am afraid I will not be able to escape far.
After Wu Ping left, He Yue also got up and said that he was going to help Dongmenqing inquire about the shipping schedule, Zhang Wei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait." ”
He Yue asked, "What?" ”
Zhang Wei said: "What matters now is Brother Wang's cabin. As for the business you mentioned last night, I think our brothers have done it well, and we don't need to hire any other helpers. When there are more people, the money is thin. ”
He Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "That's good, listen to Brother Zhang!" ”
Wu Chuan and Huang Long listened to the conversation between the two of them in a daze, but Dongmen Qing knew it, and secretly couldn't help but sneer, and couldn't help but worry - if Zhang Wei really wanted to deal with him, in fact, he didn't need any sweat medicine, Zhang He, Wu and Huang were on it together, and a rope could easily subdue him!
When He Yue went out, Zhang Wei asked Wu Chuan to help inquire, and then said to Huang Long: "Brother Wang wants to go to sea, so he has to sell some goods." In Zhangzhou to purchase goods, the first choice is silk, I think you might as well go to see if there is any goods, if there are goods, help Brother Wang order some. ”
Huang Long said: "It's the peak season, the goods are in demand, even if you are an acquaintance, you have no evidence, if you don't buy it on the spot, you will let others rob it in a blink of an eye." ”
Zhang Wei said to Dongmen Qing: "Brother Wang, if you want to trust me, it is better to take out some property first so that Huang Long can buy some goods." ”
Where did Dongmen Qing dare to refuse, so he divided half of the money in the baggage, and asked Huang Long to help him exchange the goods, Zhang Wei said: "Brother Wang, it's not enough." "Dongmen Qing can't, as long as he hands over most of the things in the baggage to Huang Long, leaving only five taels of gold and ten taels of silver around him. After Huang Long took the property, he said to Dongmen Qing: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I will definitely give you a batch of good goods!" ”
After Huang Long left, Zhang Wei asked his Hun family to buy vegetables again, and Dongmen Qingxin said: "Did he deliberately take everyone away, why did he do this?" His face was as if nothing had happened, but his hand reached into the burden and clenched the dagger.
Zhang Wei walked to the door of the wine shop and looked, Dongmen Qing looked at his back, and said in his heart: "If I rush over and give him a knife at this time, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die!" "I had to do it a few times, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to get it. Suddenly, Zhang Wei turned around and said, "No one, Dongmen Gongzi, we can say a few words openly and honestly." ”
Dongmen Qing's face turned blue after hearing these two words, and he took out a dagger and sneered: "What do you want?" ”
Zhang Wei looked at the dagger in his hand and said, "Did you hear what we said last night?" ”
When Dongmen Qing heard this, he suddenly said, "It turns out that you have already discovered me." ”
Zhang Wei snorted, saying that Dongmen Qing expected it to be good, and Dongmen Qing said: "So what do you want now?" Zhang Wei asked rhetorically, "What about you?" How do you want to? ”
Zhang Wei's words made Dongmenqing stunned, yes, what else can Dongmenqing do? His whereabouts have been revealed, and there is no force nearby that can shelter him, even if he can kill Zhang Wei in this small shop, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave Yuegang. What's more, whether Zhang Wei can pass this level is still a matter of two words! But he still sneered: "Even if I want to die, I can't be cheap despicable villain!" ”
"Despicable villain?" The muscles at the corner of Zhang Wei's mouth pulled upwards and smiled coldly: "You said you were friends with us, but you hid your real name - that's all, after all, you are on the run, and I understand." But what do you say about Hong Ditong? You killed him, right? ”
"Yes!" Dongmen Qing admitted: "He was killed by me!" ”
Zhang Wei said again: "Since you can kill people and take goods, why can't others kill people for rewards?" Left and right are all for money, and what's mean, not mean? Are you to me what Hong Ditong is to you? What's the difference? ”
Dongmen Qing was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "You major general, I am on a par with the surname Hong!" That's a pig! A dog! ”
"Oh?" Zhang Wei's eyes flickered, and he said, "Why do you say that about him?" ”
Dongmen Qing snorted: "If you can restrain me, just do it!" Why bother asking! ”
Zhang Weidao: "If what you do is not ugly, why are you afraid of others asking? ”
Dongmen Qing said angrily: "What I did is naturally not a good thing, but if you want to talk about ugly things, you can't talk about it!" Furious, he briefly said how he met Hong Ditong, how Hong Ditong sheltered himself, how he coveted himself, and how he overheard the conversation between Hong Ditong and his business partner, and then sneered: "This pig! If he just goes blind and treats me like a rabbit, I don't think he cares much about him for the sake of helping me after all! But he was going to betray me afterwards, you say, he deserves to die! ”
Zhang Wei stared at Dongmen Qing's eyes, and Dongmen Qing snorted: "What do you see!" Zhang Wei said: "I want to see if you are lying." ”
Dongmen Qing laughed, laughing a little crazy, a little bitter, and a little helpless, and said, "Why am I lying?" Could it be that if I lied, you would be able to let me go? Even if you're willing to let me go, it's useless. Then He Yue is right, now there are two ways of black and white, the land and the sea are looking for me, and now unless my father changes his mind, I will be a dead end sooner or later! ”
Zhang Wei said again: "Why do you hate you so much? The so-called tiger poison does not eat children......"
"Son?" Dongmen Qing heaved and said: "He hates others to cuckold him the most, but I put one on him, you say, how can I be his son?" ”
"You...... How dare you! Zhang Wei sighed and said: "You don't even hide such ugly things, and there is no need to fabricate Hong Ditong's affairs." Hong Dizhen has a good reputation, but I didn't expect to have such a younger brother! Damn, damn indeed. ”
Dongmen Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who should die?" ”
Zhang Weidao: "Naturally, people who have bad intentions and want to gain both people and money from the beginning should die!" ”
Dongmen Qing was a little puzzled and said, "You ......"
"Don't worry, I won't betray you." Zhang Wei said: "When He Yue said that to him when he went out, I actually wanted him to keep quiet and not to leak the news. I asked Wu Chuan to follow, just to let Wu Chuan stare at him. Seeing that Dongmenqing still didn't believe it, Zhang Wei said again: "I know your situation, so I don't blame you for not believing me now." But come to think of it, I don't need to use trickery to deal with you. Besides, if I really want to take you to ask for a reward, why should I let Huang Long help you sell goods? Wouldn't that be too much? ”
Dongmen Qing thought about it, and put down the hand holding the dagger, but he still didn't dare to believe it in his heart, and suddenly Zhang Wei shouted: "It's not good!" Dongmen Qing's heart tightened and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Wei paused: "Your gold and silver are all taken from Hong Ditong, right?" I don't know if these things are marked or not, but don't be recognized! You wait, I'll go and chase Huang Long back. If He Yue comes back first, you will perfunctory him, and everything will be said when I come back! ”
As he spoke, he was about to go out, when suddenly a person outside smiled and said, "Boss, you don't have to worry. I came back early. ”
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then saw Huang Long walking in with a smile with the bag of belongings and said: "I didn't go far away, and I felt strange when I saw my sister-in-law come out, as if you deliberately supported us, and after thinking about it, I turned back and took a look." Hee-hee, I didn't expect to hear such a big thing! He patted his burden and said, "Everything is here, and I haven't made a move yet." ”
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know about the Dongmen brothers? ”
Huang Long smiled: "I'm not deaf, I spend all day in the market, how can I not hear about that bounty?" It's just that I didn't think of the 'Wang' brother for a while. ”
Zhang Wei asked again: "Then do you want this bounty?" ”
Huang Long looked at Dongmen Qing and said to Zhang Wei: "It's okay to take it or not, I listen to you!" ”
Zhang Weixi said: "Okay, then ......" suddenly stopped, Huang Long asked what was wrong, Zhang Wei said: "Wu Chuan seems to have an accident!" Saying that, he pointed to the door, and sure enough, he saw Wu Chuan rushing over like crazy, Huang Long hurriedly greeted him, Wu Chuan ran out of breath, ran to the door and helped Huang Long jump in, and without waiting for Zhang Wei to ask, he said: "Wu Ping...... Wu Ping killed He Yue! ”
