Chapter 12: Fishing
In the evening, the Chinese merchant restaurant.
"Hey, a few guest officers, please, there are still a few tables on the second floor. When this little second saw the caravan coming over in the afternoon, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him warmly, thinking in his heart
These people seem to be rich people, they are generous, and the house price is set directly without even talking about it, if they are served well, it is not a problem to mix up the reward at all. ’
"Let's go up to the second floor, then. Zhao Feng looked downstairs, there was not much space, there were only six or seven tables, and now there were people sitting on these tables, obviously a good business.
"Okay. Xiao Er diligently took Zhao Feng and the others up to the second floor and found a window seat to sit down.
"A few guest officers want to have something, our family specialties include braised yellow bone fish, eight-flavor cakes, crispy salty mushrooms... ”
"Well, some yellow bone fish, three cakes, and some beef. ”
"By the way, is there any wine?"
Zhao Feng said, suddenly asked.
"Yes, guest officer. Xiao Er paused, and said with a little pride on his face
"We have the best daughter red in our store, as well as Chunlan liquid, and the best one is the home-brewed drunken fragrance liquid. To say that drunken fragrance ... ”
"Then come to the altar of drunken incense. ”
Zhao Feng was not interested in listening to Xiao Er boasting and waving.
"Okay, it's just that this drunken incense liquid costs four taels of silver for a jar. Xiao Er was happy at first, and then pressed back.
"Hey, I said you guy doesn't have long eyes, you think we can't afford to drink four taels of silver a jar of broken wine, right, we're doing big business... Zhang Liang seemed to be insulted, and scolded with a red face and a thick neck.
"Zhang Liang!" Zhao Feng interrupted what Zhang Liang was about to say, and turned his head to say to Xiao Er
"Man, I want a jar of drunken incense. ”
"Okay, okay. Xiao Er wiped the sweat from his head and nodded as he spoke.
"It's for you. Zhao Feng threw out a small string of money, and the little two hurriedly caught it, weighed it slightly, and his face was full of joy.
"I'd like to ask you about it, I heard that there was a gang of robbers around here, and then I heard that the government had sent people to surround and suppress them. ”
"I don't know if it's safe to walk in the direction of Shangying Town in this town now?"
"Guest, then you're asking the right person. Xiao Er glanced left and right, and saw that several tables of guests were far away, and whispered at the moment
"The guest officer is a businessman and well-informed, so he naturally knows that there is a gang of robbers around here who claim to be thieves. ”
"Lin Hao, the leader of the thieves, and Lin Wangbei, the mayor of this town, have some relatives, and they even used to collect tolls openly."
Later, the government sent a battalion of people to suppress the bandits, but this gang of thieves had four hiding places in the Shanglian Mountains, and every time the government sent troops to encircle and suppress them, they hid in the mountains and forests. ”
"After a long time, it will be over. ”
"But fortunately, the gang of thieves is still moral, those who pass by, they will draw a water, as long as they give money, they will not hurt anyone. ”
"But if you don't give money, it's going to be a sad day. ”
"Even if the Zeng family, who has four or five third-rate warriors as guards, for some reason they have a conflict with the thieves, and they want to rely on force not to pay the silver. ”
Later, the Zeng family's caravan was wiped out. ”
The man's head was placed ten miles outside the town, and the passers-by were stunned. ”
Xiao Er remembered the deeds of the thief, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
"If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a thief, you only need to pay the toll, and you must not resist. ”
"I see, okay, we know, you go and serve the food. Zhao Feng looked thoughtful.
After Xiao Er retreated, Huang Lin said thoughtfully
"Captain, it doesn't even sound like a thief here,"
"This gang of robbers is a good mix. Zhao Feng said lightly
"Ordinary escort defense is undefensible, small armies come over and can't catch people, and large armies come over and waste money. ”
"This group of people is just stuck at a critical point, not prominent or causing trouble. ”
"Coupled with the fact that the leader has a relationship with the town, in the end they can't see it out of sight, so they can take the money and maybe get a piece of the pie. ”
"According to the captain, this group of people is already very cautious, and I am afraid there is nothing worth being too cautious about. Huang Lin listened, a little unimpressed.
"It's just that in this way, why would a group of robbers who are so cautious and cautious put on the task list of the martial arts?" Zhao Feng patted the table and pondered.
"Anyway, according to the captain's approach, everything will be clear when you catch a fish. ”
"That's true, but be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, and you should be careful to inquire when you go fishing. Zhao Feng felt that there might be something hidden in this matter.
When I took over this task in Yanwutang, I just thought that a group of vicious bandits would be difficult to arrest.
Now it seems that there is something to be tasted in this.
"Shall we go to the brothel and the casino to inquire then? Will they come by then?"
After listening to this, Zhao Feng immediately slapped the table and said with a smile
"Don't worry about this kind of thing, it's not easy to find them out. But after all, these people are looking for fat sheep to start, and there must be a few eyes and ears in the city for the purpose of listening, otherwise it is impossible to do these cases so skillfully every time, and they can eat the most oily and watery people. ”
"Zhang Liang, after eating, go to the city to collect things with great fanfare, remember to show off and show off your financial resources. ”
"Wang Xin, go to the carriage and horse shop again, buy a batch of carriage goods, and say that you are going to go to Shangyang City to transport goods, and the people here will definitely come at that time, you just wait to see that fish take the bait." ”
In the evening, a person dressed as a junior in the restaurant slipped into a private house in the East District.
"You mean, a group of gem merchants came and lost a lot of money in the casino?" a black-faced man sat in the middle of the hall, holding his hands and listening to Xiao Er's report.
"I heard from a few supervisors that these people were jewelers from Linyang Mansion, and we saw the person in charge with four or five gemstone rings on his body. It looks like a rich man. ”
"On top of the carriage, there were several neat boxes, with seals on them, and two people were clinging to them, not leaving a single step at all. ”
"I'm afraid there's big fish in there. ”
Xiao Er touched his hands, his eyes full of greed.
"How are those people's martial arts?" the black-faced man looked at Xiao Er, his fingers tapping on the table, thinking.
"Those two people guarding the box should be introductory warriors. But the others can't be seen, they should be just ordinary people. ”
"Is there really a big fish like this?" the black-faced man was a little puzzled, but he still commanded
"Anyway, but there are six people in total. Bringing 30 brethren with you, there was always enough to eat. ”
