Buddhism has clouds: a drink and a peck are cause and effect.

The current situation confirms this statement, the beggar leader's fierce punishment of the young beggar just now caused the other party's rebellion, and he actually directly broke the key to the matter, making it difficult for him to fool Sun Tu and the others.

Finding that the beggar leader was staring at the whistleblower fiercely, Sun Tu immediately kicked him to the ground, and reprimanded: "Do you still want to hide it now? With this witness, the official can take you back to the yamen for careful interrogation, do you think you can come out of the Kaifeng Mansion? ”

This sentence completely woke up the beggar head, he is just a rotten life, whether it is for the government or the people behind the scenes, killing him is like killing an ant, and compared to it, it seems that the government is better to speak. Thinking about this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The official spares his life, the little one knows that it is wrong, I will recruit ......"

Sun Tu retreated a little, and then said, "Then explain everything you know." Say, who told you to go to the vicinity of Gao's store to keep an eye on it? What happened in the meantime? ”

The beggar leader was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Because there was a big fire in Changxingfang the night before, the little one planned to go there early yesterday morning to look around and see if he could get some benefits." I didn't want to be outside Changxingfang, but I was taken away, and then I saw Xu Ye...... Xu Tieying. It was he who asked the little one to keep an eye on Gao's store at all times, and pointed out that the boss of Naqi asked me to keep an eye on his movements at any time and meet someone......"

"Xu Tieying, who is he?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice. After all, he has only been in the yamen for a long time, and he is still quite unfamiliar with this name.

The beggar leader glanced at him a little strangely, and then replied: "Xu Tieying is the hall master of the Shunshui Gang, and he has always been in charge of us people......"

Sun Tu's heart moved: "Are you from the Shunshui Gang?" He only let your people keep an eye on Boss Qi, and didn't let you do anything else? ”

"No, no." The beggar leader immediately shook his head and denied: "The little ones can't do anything else with their humble status, but it's quite easy to do something to keep an eye on." By the way, last night, my people also saw a few officials go to see Boss Qi, so they passed the news over. ”

"You know that because of your message, a human life was killed. That Qi Xuan and he were found dead in his guest room early this morning! Sun Tu said with a cold face.

"This ...... The little one really doesn't know, if I had known that there would be such a result, I wouldn't have dared to take this errand even if I killed the little one......" The beggar leader was really a little panicked now, and quickly defended himself.

Sun Tu was not interested in listening to his nonsense, so he only continued: "Let me ask you, have your people continued to stay in front of the Gao family shop from last night to this morning?" Did they find anything out of the ordinary? ”

"This ...... Yes, yes. The beggar leader, who originally wanted to cover it up, could only reply honestly after facing Sun Tu's sharp gaze: "He is still staring at Gaojiadian this night, and only he knows if there is anything unusual." As he spoke, he pointed to the young man who had just exposed everything.

Sun Tu nodded, turned to look at the young man, and his attitude was a little better: "Have you found anything?" ”

The young man shook his head a little dazedly: "No, my sister is sick, and I don't worry about leaving her alone at night, so I will take advantage of that time to take care of her......" This is the reason why he didn't stare at the target outside Gao's store the night before.

The beggar leader was even more annoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Sun Tu, so he could only secretly remember it in his heart, planning to settle the new accounts and old accounts together in the future.

Subsequently, Sun Tu interrogated him again, and only after he was sure that the other party had no longer concealed it, did he spare him: "You don't know anything this time, and this official will not investigate deeply." But you all stay here for me during this time and don't leave, I will send someone to guard it, if you dare to run, then you are a thief, and then all the charges will fall on your heads, understand? ”

As soon as he heard this, the beggar leader finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded and agreed: "The little one understands, I will definitely not run, thank you for sparing the little one......"

Sun Tu turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Zhishen suddenly waved at the young beggar: "Boy, you also go with us, the Sprinkle family sees that you have good bones, are you willing to go back with the Sprinkle family to learn martial arts?" ”

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, especially the young man, who felt as if he was in a dream. But then, he immediately came to his senses, knelt on the ground immediately, kowtowed to Lu Zhishen and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" His reaction was really fast, and this kowtow was considered to be a complete implementation of the relationship between the two sides.

Sun Tu glanced at Lu Zhishen, and immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and felt a little ashamed. Obviously, Lu Zhishen saw that the young man would be retaliated against by the beggar leader after the two of them left, so he took him away under the pretext of taking him together. It's just that the other party is really smart, and he actually pushed the boat down the river, and really recognized Lu Zhishen as the master. But I was troubled in my heart, so I actually ignored this detail.

Lu Zhi was also slightly surprised by his worship, but then laughed: "Okay, then you can go with the Sprinkle family." ”

In this way, the beggars could only watch the young man who was originally at the bottom get rid of the sea of suffering, and they were both surprised and envious in their hearts, and they only hated themselves for not having the courage to stand up and expose them before. As for the beggar leader, he could only stand there blankly, not knowing what to do.

And in this large group of beggars, one of them had a strange glint in his eyes: "Things are really changing, it seems that we have to hurry back with the news!" ”

After the three of them came out, they met with Tang Fifteen and the others who were guarding outside to prevent the beggars from escaping, and then Sun Tu asked two of them to stay nearby to keep an eye on the movements of these beggars, and then looked at Lu Zhishen: "This time there is really Brother Laolu." However, the next thing is better for the government to come forward, so ......"

"The Sprinkle family understands that if you want to talk to the people of the Shunshui Gang, you can't just rely on your fists. The Sprinkle family will take this apprentice back first, and it will not be too late to come to me when you have news. By the way, what's your name, boy? And where is the girl you said? "Lu Zhishen is worthy of being thick and fine, and even took care of the difficulties of the teenager.

"My name is Cheng Yayu, and my sister is in a dilapidated house not far ahead. She has been suffering from cold and has not been good, and I don't have enough money, so I ......"

"Don't worry, the Sprinkle family has plenty of money, and they can always cure your sister." Lu Zhishen said, and as soon as he held the young man's arm, he had already led him to stride away.

Sun Tu smiled when he saw this, so he followed, and after coming to the street, he said goodbye to Lu Zhishen and went home to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and after dawn, Sun Tu returned to the mansion and told everyone about yesterday's harvest. This made Shen Liang and the others excited and worried.

thought that with the killing of the key person Qi Xuanwen, the case would be completely cut off, but a day later, it was another village, and the clues were not only not broken, but people could find the direction of the target.

But when they learned that there was actually the existence of the Shunshui Gang behind all this, everyone felt a little tricky, and it was not easy to negotiate with them.

"Why, can this Shunshui Gang make my Kaifeng Mansion helpless against them? Isn't it just a gang, can it still turn the sky upside down? After Sun Tu saw their worries, he couldn't help but say.

"Dutou, you don't know something, this Shunshui Gang does play a big role in my Tokyo City, because they control most of the business of the Bianhe Wharf......" Cui Luoshang quickly explained in a low voice.

It is because of the water transportation of the Bianhe River that the Kaifeng City of Bianliang in Tokyo can reach the world and feed this million people. As a local gang that relied on the Bianhe River and gradually grew, many of its subordinates were born as coolies in the wharf area, and with the increase in power, the Shunshui Gang absorbed all kinds of people on the wharf into the gang, and even many officials on the wharf had a background in the Shunshui Gang!

In a sense, the Shunshui Gang completely controls the waterway lifeline of Tokyo City, and if they are really determined to do something, they are afraid that this great Song capital will be paralyzed and chaotic in the blink of an eye.

After hearing all this from Cui Liushang, Sun Tu frowned even more. Originally, when he heard Sun Fu mention the Bamboo Gang and the Shunshui Gang, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a petty fight, and it was nothing in front of the government. It was only at this time that he realized that the power of this Jianghu gang in Tokyo City was beyond imagination.

In fact, the Shunshui Gang can have today's scale is mostly related to the cultivation of the government, after all, they can save a lot of expenses by doing things for free in the dock area, and at the same time, many relevant officials can also get a lot of benefits. However, its drawbacks also slowly appeared later, and when the government found out that the Shunshui Gang had become too big to lose, and even began to completely control the Bianhe wharf, everything was already difficult to ride.

So now, when Sun Tu wants to investigate the case to the Shunshui Gang, it is really difficult!
