Chapter 219: Suspicion Rises Again
It wasn't until just after the feast that he ran to see his mother.
When his mother heard that she had become a Beijing official in Beijing, she cried with joy before telling him the truth.
Stealing ...... Stealing people behind his father's back...... No wonder......
Zhang Cai sighed, he could also understand his father, and said to his father:
"Father, that Chen Ling Gongzi is quite powerful, you must not annoy him."
"Huh? What's going on? Tell me more about the Father. ”
"In short, my father must not provoke him, otherwise if he wants to pinch you, don't say that you are the leader of the beggar gang, that is, the leader of the beggar gang, and there is nowhere to complain."
This is also too alarmist.
The leader of the beggar gang is a figure who even the imperial court dares to contend with, how can he ......
Zhang Cai only thought that his son was alarmist, and didn't take his words seriously, but mentioned the matter of the beggar gang.
When he was young, his family was ruined, and his mother took him to join the beggars in desperation.
Today, he has also become the head of the beggar gang, but this beggar gang is no longer the beggar gang he used to be.
These lazy people just seek money, and they do those things that hurt nature and reason.
As a result, people on the street now hide when they see beggars, especially those with little girls, and they are even more afraid to block their daughters from beggars.
Although he wants to take care of it, this is not an exception, basically the beggars are like this from top to bottom.
Even the new gang leader is ......
Alas, today's beggars are no longer as heroic and righteous as they were in the past.
Even the famous factions in the rivers and lakes have begun to crowd out the beggar gang, and there are even rumors recently that the beggar gang will be removed from the Jianghu sect.
And the master of his own hall......
If you look left and right, you will see a dazzling array of luxury objects.
Zhang Cai wants to quit the beggar gang for more than a day or two.
However, the beggar gang has rules, once you join, you can't retreat, you are dead, and that is also the corpse of the beggar gang.
Otherwise, your family will be ruined, and your wife will be separated.
Alas, no matter what, I can't get rid of the beggars in my life, but the children never dare to let them join the beggars again.
Zhang Cai summoned a small servant and ordered all the beggars in He'an County to start looking for Chen Jin, and then went into the room to rest.
On the other side, after Hou Shigui returned to the inn, he also instructed Fang Feibai to use carrier pigeons to send a message back to Beijing.
I thought that with my current authority, and Your Majesty is happy, I want Your Majesty to ask for an errand for the head of the ministry, it should be no problem, right?
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Hou Shigui was still eating porridge when he heard a knock on the door of the inn.
Found it so quickly? is worthy of being a beggar, this news channel, tsk, after going back, I have to let Jinyiwei learn more.
Just when Hou Shigui thought that the beggar gang sent Chen Jin.
The shopkeeper ran to open the door and took a look, and Zhang Cai praised this face, of course, he walked in from the outside, and there was no one else except him.
Seeing that Zhang Cai was the only one, Hou Shigui asked puzzledly:
"Hall Master Zhang, what do you mean by this? What about Chen Jin? ”
You're too embarrassed to ask!
Zhang Cai didn't give Hou Shigui a good look, and his tone was quite unkind:
"Thanks to Chen Gongzifu, I helped find Chen Jin last night, and twenty-five people died, and several of them were elder-level experts!"
Twenty-five dead? What's going on?
Hou Shigui didn't rush to ask, but looked at Zhang Cai fixedly, waiting for him to speak.
It turned out that after Hou Shigui left last night, Zhang Cai mobilized the beggars in the county to find Chen Jin.
When the beggars searched for it, they really found some clues.
Then two beggars followed the clues, and they were not heard from.
Then, Zhang Cai also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked a few elders with martial arts skills to continue to look for the clues.
But when they left, they were lost in the sea, and there was no more news.
It was only in the early hours of the morning that the bodies of the twenty-five men were found behind a hill beside a road outside the city.
After examination, they were all killed by sharp blades, and they were ruthless and decisive, except for a few fatal wounds, there were no extra wounds.
Twenty-five people died at once, including several elders with martial arts, who died because they received Hou Shigui's money and let them do things for themselves with public and private use.
It's good to be a little minion, it's those elders, if they ask from above, how should they explain to the headquarters?
So Zhang Cai has been worried from the early morning to the present, he didn't even sleep and didn't eat breakfast, and when he saw that the sky was white, he hurried to find Hou Shigui.
Hou Shigui was also haggard, but he didn't expect to encounter so many things just to find a deserter.
More than 20 people were all killed overnight, and the tricks were all done by masters.
So what did Chen Jin and Cao Yilang do? How did you make such a mess?
Without waiting for Hou Shigui to think, Zhang Cai said:
"What is Chen Gongzi looking for these two people for? More than 20 people in my beggar gang died because of this incident, no matter what, Chen Gongzi has to give me an explanation! ”
Seeing Zhang Cai's righteous words, Hou Shigui thought for a while and said:
"This matter is related to my family's secrets, and I ask the master of the hall to forgive me, I can't tell you below.
Moreover, he also asked the master of Zhang Tang to inform one or two of the clues found by the beggars yesterday, and there will be a good report in the future. ”
After leaving Jinzhong County, Hou Shigui changed his body and no longer worried about money.
He stayed in Jinzhong County for more than half a month, including using his cavalry to search the surrounding wealthy households, and found a total of 23,290,000 taels of greedy ink and silver.
But with a wave of his hand, he asked Wang Hou to change the fold to more than 20 million taels.
In this way, the silver money he sent back to Jingshi was a total of two thousand and tens of thousands of taels.
The remaining more than two million taels were put into his pocket.
So yesterday, Hou Shigui gave a gift to Zhangfu, and it was 20,000 taels as soon as he made a shot, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.
Hearing Hou Shigui mention the money, Zhang Cai's anger subsided a little, but he still said:
"This matter is no longer the business of your family, Gongzi Chen, one of the elders who died last night is a distant relative of our beggar gang leader.
And twenty-five people died, and my beggar gang will never give up!
I can give you clues, but you have to promise me a condition, if you can find someone before us, you must inform me of the beggars! ”
This is a revenge attempt.
But he just wants to find Chen Jin, as long as he finds Chen Jin, he can deal with everyone else as he wants.
And depending on the situation, those who shot were all good hands, and with the six people they carried, they might not be able to deal with it.
Inform the beggars, and you can also ask them to be cannon fodder.
So Hou Shigui responded without hesitation.
Following the clues provided by Zhang Cai, when he arrived at an unmanned ship at the dock, Hou Shigui asked:
"What do you see?"
Jin Yiwei is different from the beggar gang asking for food, and what the beggars can't see doesn't mean that Jin Yiwei can't see it.
Fang Feibai replied without thinking about it:
"This place is far away from the place where the beggars found the corpses, if they follow the clues and meet the thieves here, the thieves will directly throw them into the river, why carry more than 20 corpses so far?"
Kong Heng also nodded and said:
"And the dead are more difficult to resist than the living, and more than 20 corpses can resist so far, which shows that there are a lot of them."
