Just after breakfast on the second day, the Cen guards came to greet Meng Zhou and Jing Rong to go to the guest room.

"Master Zhang."

"Oh, the two sons are here, please take a seat."

When Meng Zhou sat down, the Buddha glanced at the empty teacup on Zhang Xujiu's table, and said with a smile: "What did Master Zhang just think, so obsessed? ”

"It's nothing, I just didn't get a good night's rest last night."

Meng Zhou said: "I heard that the official shop entered the thief last night, is Lord Zhang okay?" ”

Zhang Xujiu waved his hand and said: "I don't have to worry about it, now, I'm just worried that if this case is not closed, those people will not die in thieves, and sooner or later there will be a big disaster." ”

Jing Rong said: "That Lord Zhang was able to catch those thieves last night?" ”

"I took it, but those people were all dead soldiers, and when they saw that they couldn't escape, they all took poison and committed suicide."

Meng Zhou glanced at Jing Rong, then retracted his gaze and echoed: "That's a pity, I thought that Master Zhang could use this to get some news, but now it seems that this clue has been broken again." ”

Zhang Xujiu hesitated: "But..."

"Master Zhang has something to say."

"Upon investigation, I found that the group of men all had the same thorn 'state' on their chests."

Meng Zhou said: "What is the meaning of the word 'state'?" ”

Zhang Xujiu nodded and said: "The appearance of the thorn of the word 'state' is almost exactly the same as the word on the banner of the Shui Yang Gang. ”

"The Poplars?"

"Yes, the Shuiyang Gang is an affiliated gang of the Fuhai Merchant Gang in the west line of Kyoto, specially designed for the Fuhai Merchant Gang to take care of the business of the western line of Kyoto, in the past three years, the business of the Shuiyang Gang has expanded a lot, the momentum of rapid development, and the reputation was even greater than that of his old club. However, because of this, it also caused the dissatisfaction of the old club, and I heard that this year, the Shuiyang Gang and the Fuhai Merchant Gang have frequently disagreed, and the disputes within the gang are not stopped. ”

"According to what Lord Zhang said, this Shuiyang Gang should be a business gang, how can it be involved in these things?"

Zhang Xujiu said: "The Poplar Gang has developed rapidly in the past two years, and I think that those unsightly businesses are indispensable among them. ”

"Lord Zhang is saying that there are still members of the Shui Yang Gang in this mess involved now?"

Zhang Xujiu frowned and said: "It's hard to say, don't hide it from the two, before Shaoguang's incident, I had sent someone to secretly investigate the Shui Yang Gang, but they did things secretly, which made my secret visit frequently blocked and damaged many people, so I had no choice but to stop." Last night, thieves infiltrated the case file room, which made me even more uneasy. ”

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "In this way, the Shui Yang Gang is indeed a little suspicious. Does Lord Zhang know where is the head of the Shui Yang Gang? ”

"Jin'an City."

Meng Zhou was silent for two seconds, then took a sip of tea and diverted the topic: "How is Master Zhang's luggage?" ”

"It's not cleaned up yet."

Meng Zhou glanced at the tea stains on the table and said, "Then it seems that Master Zhang is going to clean up quickly." ”

"Why did Dream Boy say this?"

"Now that the matter has been finalized, wouldn't it be more dangerous for Lord Zhang to stay for one more day."

Zhang Xujiu glanced at the teacup on the table and said, "What Meng Gongzi said is very true, but he just sighed, I really want to do that grass and trees, and it will fall into mud after only opening for a while." ”

Meng Zhou said with a smile: "The plants and trees bloom in spring and hide in winter, who can really predict the situation in the coming year?" If adults really want to appreciate it, just make this winter mud, when the spring blooms, the grass and trees follow the wind, and they have their own fate. ”

"It's not easy for a girl to break through the ground."

"If everything in the world is easy, won't everyone travel in a dream."

Zhang Xujiu said with a smile: "What the girl said is very true. ”

Meng Zhou stood up and said solemnly: "I have worked hard in the past few days, Lord Zhang, since this case is closed, then we won't bother much, and we will leave for the west today." ”

"Girl, slow down, I don't know how much danger there is along the way, Zhang is also uneasy, it is better for Zhang to send a few people to escort you out of town, and after the suburbs of the city, I will be more relieved."

Meng Zhou waved his hand and said: "No need, it's better for adults to withdraw or simply, besides, there are more people to attract attention, don't worry, although we don't have any big skills, the kung fu of escaping is good, and we won't easily hurt people." ”

Dream Zhou's words made Zhang Xujiu laugh, "In this way, I won't say anything, I have prepared some things for a few people outside the official workshop, and the girl will pick them up then." ”

"Then I'll thank Master Zhang here, we'll have a meeting later."

"There will be a date later."

In the afternoon, Mengzhou Pedestrians packed up their things and walked outside the official square to know what Zhang Xujiu had prepared in his mouth.

Heshan patted the three horses at the door and said, "This adult is generous." ”

Cen Shan on the side said to Meng: "Dream boy, this is a little bit of my family's heart, and I hope that my son will accept it with a smile." ”

Meng Zhou took the money bag, patted Cen Shan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you for me." ”

Cen Shan didn't expect Meng Zhou to accept it so refreshingly, and replied after being stunned for a while: "Yes, Cen Shan won't send it, and a few sons take care." ”

Meng Zhou stuffed the money bag to Jing Rong, climbed on the horse and said, "Thank you, let's go." ”

Outside the official workshop, the sound of horses' hooves faded away.

As soon as he left the town, Meng Zhou saw a man leaning against the wall with his sleeves up and basking in the sun, the figure was familiar and tight. She grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and walked over, and said tentatively: "Zhang Messenger? ”

When the man heard the voice, he turned around and put down his hand and smiled, "Master Meng, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Look at the appearance of the envoy, is this a promotion?"

"Childe has good eyesight, but that's not the point, I'm here today just to send the two."

Meng Zhou smiled: "I didn't expect Lord Zhang to be a righteous person." ”

Zhang Hou scratched his head and smiled a little weakly: "Not really, after all, I sat in today's position, and the two sons also made great efforts, if I don't come, I can't say anything, right?" ”

"This is mysterious, then Zhao Mian will take office, and the best person to succeed him in all respects is you. We are only contributing to the people, not to the people. ”

Zhang Houdao: "Inside, I participated in Shaoguang's matter, and I also made some efforts. Outside, Shaoguang's matter was in the limelight, and when it was the most dangerous, Gongzi asked me to withdraw. Ten thousand flowers pass through it, and the leaves do not stick to the body. Therefore, in order to win the support of all aspects, of course, two sons are indispensable. But don't worry, I said these words today, just to make it clear that I want to thank you two for a real time, and after today, I will never mention it again. ”

"Yes, I'm relieved to have Lord Zhang's words."

Zhang Hou said with a smile: "When the two sons come next time, Zhang will definitely invite the two of them to eat in the best building." ”

"Okay, then it's decided, Master Zhang, there will be a period later."

"There will be a date later."

Farewell Zhang Hou, Meng Zhou originally thought that the road to Jin'an City was bumpy, and he would eventually encounter one or two robberies and annihilations, and he couldn't help but be worried during the journey. Seeing that it came to Jin'an City, there was no abnormal movement, but while rejoicing, he was also worried that if the road did not encounter a small disaster, there would be a big disaster.

"Heshan, there's an inn in front, let's rest for one night before entering the town."

Heshan grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, helped Xiaokong down, and said to Mengzhou: "It's okay, it's getting late, everyone is tired after two days, just rest." You go in first, and Brother Huai and I will lead the horses into the stable. ”

"Yes, I'll go take a look first, Xiaokong, let's go." Meng Zhou said as he lifted his burden and walked inside.

"Guest officer, how many of you are going to eat or stay in the hotel?"

"Four, stay in a hotel, open three rooms."

"Okay, guest officer, this is your brand, on the left side of the second floor, you can hand it over to me when you check out."

As soon as Meng Zhou accepted the brand, she felt that she was covered by a black shadow, and she swept her eyes sideways, and saw two burly young men wearing purple and red hexagrams and hats standing beside her.

Xiao Er saw the two of them, his face changed, and he said with a stiff smile: "Second master, do you live in a hotel?" ”

"Studio room."

"Yes, yes, two masters, the room is on the right hand side of the stairs on the second floor, this is your brand."

The two men took the sign and turned to go upstairs without saying a word. Only then did Meng Zhou see the scimitar behind the two people.

"Hey, Xiao Er, what is the origin of these two masters?"

The little second said in a low voice: "This son, don't ask more, the more you know about this, the more dangerous it is." ”

"Tsk, of course I know this, I'm looking at those two people who are not easy to mess with, so I want to ask you in advance, so as not to collide with those two, and when the time comes, your little shop can't stand the toss."

The little er's face changed when he heard this, "Yes, it's good to tell you, so as not to cause death like before." ”

"Causing a fatality?"

"Those two people, it's the people of the Shui Yang Gang, this Shui Yang Gang will send two people along the west line every month to check the business luck, today is not a routine day, I heard that there is a problem with the business transportation on the west line, so this day is in advance, in short, you, just see them to avoid leaving, but don't provoke them."

"Problems going up the Western Front? Do you know what went wrong? ”

Xiao Er shook his hand and said helplessly: "I said this son, I have heard of such a small thing, if the little one really wants to know so clearly, there is still a life standing here." ”

Mengzhou nodded and said, "That's right, I'm in a hurry." Ah, by the way, what did you just say about the human life? ”

"Oh, I said this son, don't ask so much."

"You don't want to say? Then I'll just ask someone else. ”

The little second grabbed Meng Zhou and wanted to cry without tears and said, "You can be tighter, I just finished speaking, and you didn't listen to a word." ”

Meng Zhou said with an innocent face: "I listened to it, didn't you just say that there was a death?" ”

The little second sighed and said: "Hey, let's tell you the truth, after the development of this Shui Yang Gang in the past two years, the gang style has become more and more arrogant. Last time, there were many guests in the store, only one room left, and I happened to meet a foreigner and Shuiyang Gang two uncles living in the hotel at the same time, although it was the stranger who arrived first, but he couldn't stand the other two big postures, and the stranger didn't let him live or die, so he had to talk about the truth of coming first and then coming. Those two masters are not easy to mess with, and they met such a pedantic person, since they were angry, they didn't hit twice, and the foreigner was killed, hey, it's also a thin fate. ”

"Killing people in broad daylight, doesn't the government care?"

The little two suppressed his voice and said, "What's the matter?" The Poplar Gang is the God of Wealth of the government, and they can still see that they can't make their money? ”

Meng Zhou shook his head and sighed: "Hey, the world is going down, then according to what everyone says, the power and vein of the Shuiyang Gang are much greater than the government. ”

"I won't tell you anything, in the past two years, the Shuiyang Gang has built a lot of dark spots in Jin'an City, so ah, if there is any news or talk about Jin'an City, there is no need to help the people in Jin'an City to check, this news flew over with wings."

Meng Zhou was a little surprised and said, "There is such a thing? The Poplar Gang has developed like this in just two years, but there are no changes in the gang. ”

"If you want to say that the biggest change is probably the new gang leader named Xie Chi who took office three years ago in the Shuiyang Gang. He, is the nephew of the previous gang leader, after the old gang leader died, he was ordered to take over the Shui Yang Gang, that master is a thunderous means of people, but half a year to rectify those restless people in the gang that is obedient, and later, and did a lot of big business, this Shui Yang Gang, only now has the momentum. ”

Meng Zhou was puzzled: "Nephew? Is that old gang leader childless? ”

"Anyway, there is, but then they all died mysteriously. As for how the position of the leader of the gang came to the hands of this Xie Chi, how can we, the little people, know? ”

"It's weird."

Xiao Er said: "Who said no, if you want me to say, there are too many twists and turns in this, so I said, it's not a good thing to know more about this world." Well, I've told you everything I know, so stay out of the way. ”

Meng Zhou took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the stage and said, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Er quickly brushed over the broken silver, and smiled on his face, "You are polite, if you need anything, just ask." ”

"I'll get some hot water and bring a few meals to the house."

"Okay."

Meng Zhou raised her hand, and as soon as she turned her head, she bumped into the faint eyes of the three people in the corner, she touched the tip of her nose a little embarrassed and walked over and said, "I'm sorry, I inquired about something, and I forgot the time for a while." ”

Heshan said angrily: "Let's talk again, I see that you can turn out the bottom of the family." ”

Meng Zhou snorted lightly, and after roughly saying what he and Xiao Er said, he put the room card on the table and said: "The room is booked, on the left side of the second floor, Xiao Er will send some hot water and meals up in a while, you can rest early." ”

Meng Zhou entered the room and just after bathing, there was a knock on the door, and when she opened the door, she saw a thin little second person holding a meal and said with a smile: "Guest officer, the dish you ordered." ”

Meng Zhou glanced at Xiao Er's hand and took it: "Can the food and hot water for the two rooms be delivered?" ”

"As you ordered, everything has been delivered."

"Alright, you can go down."

Before half a moment, before Mengzhou's chopsticks were put down, Xiaokong's anxious voice came from outside the door, she opened the door and saw Xiaokong's anxious face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Meng Gongzi, it's not good" Xiao Kong stopped talking, reached out and grabbed Meng Zhou's arm and said, "You better go and see for yourself." ”

Meng Zhou pushed open the door and saw Heshan half-collapsed on the side of the bed, already looking delirious, she hurriedly rushed over to help Heshan and asked Xiaokong, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"After we entered the house, Xiao Er sent the food up, Brother Heshan saw that it was all vegetarian dishes, so he asked me to go down and buy a plate of beef, who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I saw him lying on the side of the bed, no matter how he screamed, I was in a hurry, so I went to find Gongzi You came to see."

Meng Zhou glanced at the half-empty dishes on the table and said: "Usually reacts faster than anyone else, but in special times it is better than anyone else to rush to death, Xiaokong, take a hand, help me help him to bed first." ”

"Oh, okay."

By the time Mengzhou put Heshan away, a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on her forehead. Xiaokong looked at Heshan, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and said anxiously: "Master Meng, Brother Heshan must have been poisoned after eating those meals, what should I do?" ”

Meng Zhou stretched out his hand and rolled over Heshan's eyes, pinched his face and said, "Fortunately, the poisoning is not deep, in this way, you stand back, and I will order a few acupuncture points to control this poison first." ”

When Xiaokong heard this, he hurriedly stepped back, he looked over, and saw Meng Zhou take a deep breath and slap it down on Heshan.

"Alright, Sora, come here."

Xiaokong glanced at Heshan, whose face was becoming more and more pale, and said suspiciously: "Meng Gongzi, are you sure that this can suppress the poison in Brother Heshan's body?" ”

"Naturally, Xiaokong, you are guarding here, and I will go to your Huaizhi brother to ask for a few antidote pills for him."

"Yes, okay."

The door was pushed open and closed suddenly, bringing a gust of wind, Jing Rong frowned and tore off the clothes on the shelf and tied them hastily, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure standing outside the screen, and his eyes instantly disappeared.

"How are you" Before Jing Rong finished speaking, he was covered by Meng Zhou a few steps up, "Shhh, be quiet." ”

Seeing Jing Rong nodded, Meng Zhou let go of his hand, "Someone is staring at us." ”

"Is it the Poplars?"

"Perhaps." Meng Zhou said, glancing at the figure flashing outside the door and said, "I need you to help me make a scene." ”

"Okay."

After a while, Mengzhou pushed open the door with a scorched face, looked around, and hurried towards the Heshan house.

Who knew that as soon as Meng Zhou entered the door, he was covered by someone to cover his mouth and nose, but in a few seconds, he lost consciousness...
