"Help save the ticket?" Sun Kecheng, the old shopkeeper of the Qiwei Dart Bureau, turned his eyes a few times, staring at Sun Chang, who came to invite him.

Sun Chang, this child, is his nephew and a little related to him, but his temperament is too straight to be seen. After being exiled to Guangzhou, he simply went to work as a slave of other people, and he often felt a little sorry -- it was a pity that his hard work was lost.

I wanted to find him food in the dart game, but the market of the dart store has not been good in recent years, and the business is not as good as before. The dart game is not compared to other transactions, adding people to add mouths is just more than a pair of chopsticks, the trading of the dart board is a radish a pit, there is a business to have people, more business to add people, to add people to add expenses, will not have a great profit. There are few businesses and no layoffs, and everyone has to work together to change them. If the business is not good, naturally there is no way to add people.

"Yes, my lord asked your old man to come over and discuss."

Sun Kecheng was a little vague, he remembered that Sun Chang was on an errand at the wealthy merchant Gao Gao on Haopan Street. This old man Gao is also a figure with eyes and hands in the city of Guangzhou, and he has been asked to do something by the bandits, what are they asking them to do?

When it comes to saving tickets, the dart game is not very interested. The relationship between the dart board and the bandits is precious, emphasizing "point spring" and "making friends", and if you don't want to slash and kill, you will live or die. Going to save the ticket is tantamount to snatching food from the wolf's mouth -- the bandits who dare to kidnap tickets in the capital of a province in this dignified province are not ordinary petty people -- it is often a vicious fight between you and me, and no matter whether you succeed or fail, as long as you reveal your identity after intervening, you will form a bond with the bandits in the future.

But the situation is not good at the moment. Since the first year of the Apocalypse, chaos has gradually arisen in various places, and the dart road has become more and more difficult to walk. Income is declining. There are 100 people up and down the bureau......

After thinking about it, I finally agreed to the deal. One is that this business can alleviate most of the economic situation of the dart board, and the other is that the nephew said that his new owner is an Australian maritime merchant - which has aroused the interest of the shopkeeper Sun - and Australian goods have recently become famous. This group of maritime merchants is not only rich but also generous, and he is specially allowed to return his original surname, which is a benevolent and righteous gentleman. Yu Qing Yuli also has to help with this.

Xiao Zishan and Ran Yao looked at this shopkeeper of the Qiwei Dart Bureau recommended by Sun Chang with a little suspicion - they thought that he must be a big man with a full beard, similar to a character in a martial arts movie, but they didn't expect to come to be a half-old man, wearing a scarf and a four-span shirt, no different from the ordinary people walking on the street. Although he walked steadily, he couldn't see the appearance of a martial arts hero.

However, they urgently need someone to inquire about the news, although the senior brother has volunteered to go out, but no one dares to put their hopes on a few children. At that moment, 1510 recounted the incident and the results of the survey.

After listening to Xiao Zishan's briefing and the conclusion of the investigation, Sun Kecheng nodded:

"Sir, there are masters here."

"We are not familiar with the place, and we don't know the situation in this city, so we have to ask Shopkeeper Sun for more help."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Sun Kecheng nodded with a smile, "Sun Chang, this kid is looked down upon by you." With this, the Qiwei Dart Bureau also has to help. ”

"What does Shopkeeper Sun think?"

"Didn't this old man Ran say: There is a person who is barefoot. In this Guangzhou city, even if the villagers of Sixiang go to the city, no matter how bad they are, they have to wear a pair of clogs and straw shoes, and there is only one kind of person who has been barefoot regardless of the season - the Tan family. ”

"The Tan family?" Xiao Zishan seems to have heard of this statement, and it seems that he belongs to a kind of ancient untouchables.

"Exactly. The old man doesn't know about the Tan family? Sun Kecheng explained that the so-called Tanjia, also known as "egg households", are water residents distributed in coastal harbors and inland rivers in Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou provinces. "Its remnants take the boat as their house, fishing as their business, and they know that there are dragons when they distinguish the color of the water, which was called the dragon household in the past, and the Qi people are the 'egg family'."

"Are you fishermen?"

Sun Kecheng said: "Although the Tan family begs for a living on the water, there are fishermen. Fishermen, however, are not necessarily Tan. He explained that the Tan family did all kinds of business on the water, and that their boats were almost everywhere at the forks of the ports on the Pearl River.

Even if there is a family member among the kidnappers, this matter is much clearer. It is very likely that Mr. Wen is hiding in a certain boat on the water, this is the southern city, and the Pearl River is over the city wall. As soon as the bandits get on the boat, the sea and the sky will be wide. Moreover, the Tanjia are a very closed social group, with different dialects and customs from the people on land, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to find out the news.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink. That's not good.

"There are not tens of thousands of ships on this water, but also thousands, and even the investigation will take a month." Ran Yao became distressed, forgetting that he had no authority to investigate in this time and space.

"Gentlemen don't have to be depressed. It's not that hard. Although the Tan family and the people on the land have no contact with each other and are hostile to each other, they will not be the instigators of the kidnapping. It should be that some foreign bandits colluded with the water prostitutes on the flower boat. This kind of prostitute often does some illegal deeds - the stuffy incense is not a common thing in the rivers and lakes, but it seems to be used by prostitutes on the water to steal people's money. ”

He smiled confidently: "Master Wen should be on which flower boat." ”

"Where are the boats?"

"Most of the Tan's flower boats are in the area of Baietan, and they will send the dart master out to investigate when they go back. There are a few more things that you have made clear below, and you must not do it. ”

The first is to avoid reporting to the official, although with the face of Master Gao, a post can launch the horse step arrest in one province and two counties in Guangzhou, but these people themselves are villains, and the fat sheep are sent to the door, and they will not do anything if they are not fed with silver. If you don't do it, you will collude with bandits.

The second is not to arrest the messengers, such characters are either beggars found on the street temporarily, or ordinary gangsters, who do not know the bandits, and if they are caught, they are not only useless but also easy to arouse the alarm of the other party.

"Zuihou is not to act rashly, they must have eyeliner around the mansion. However, these eyeliners are also helpers found, and they can't find anything. ”

sent away the shopkeeper Sun, and everyone discussed that waiting for news was not a way. Fortunately, the other party is intending to ransom, and there will inevitably be letters from both parties - this is a clue to the kidnappers. Although it is not possible to track in the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, it is no problem to control and defend with modern technology. At present, cameras are installed throughout the courtyard, and monitoring hosts are set up in the courtyard, which are powered by several sets of batteries. 24-hour monitoring of the perimeter. Lin Shenhe walked around the road and installed several wireless cameras on the roof of the front yard to monitor the street. He put on a camouflage pullover himself, took binoculars, night vision goggles, walkie-talkie and rifle to the only big tree in the courtyard, set up a bunk among the dense branches, and took turns on duty with Beiwei, ready to respond at any time.

Ran Yao changed into the clothes of a small servant, with a DV around his waist, led by Zhao Chang, and walked back and forth on Haoban Street.

"Found the stalker!" When he came back, he put the DV on the table and said.

Everyone was in good spirits and hurriedly gathered around.

"There are four people in the stalk." Ran Yao turned on the DV to show everyone, "Look here," he pointed to the vendor on the screen, "absent-mindedly, his eyes have been peeking at the door of Gao Ju's house."

"This, although dressed as a child, does not ask for food on the busy street, but hides in the cold alley of the corner gate of the high house.

"This is the gate to keep an eye on here.

"And this one--the one who drinks tea alone in the teahouse is probably the chief, and they probably have one or two people as a maneuver to report the news at any time. Let's print out the photos of these people and give each person a copy. ”

"Good!"

"Do you want to get them here?"

"Most of these people are peripheral elements, and they are not necessarily familiar with the situation."

"It would be nice to be able to follow it, and the leader should be able to meet and contact the leaders inside."

"Possibly. Unfortunately, it can't be tracked. ”

"How about putting a wireless beacon on him?"

"Then it's better to just put the wireless beacon in the ransom. You can go straight to the nest. ”

"Theoretically. We don't have a map, we don't have a GPS, and we can't make precise positioning based on the signals. It can only be approximated by radio direction finding, the terrain is too complicated. ”

"The point is that there is no map."

"The Ming Dynasty should have a map, right? Have someone go buy a few and come back. ”

"Sun Chang bought one back, but this map ...... It's really useless. "The cartography of the Ming Dynasty was quite primitive, and it was around this time that modern cartography was introduced to China by Matteo Ricci.

"But it's also a plan. Who understands radio direction finding? ”

"I can." Bei Wei said.

"Then it's up to you."

"It's best to inquire about the place, and we'll just kill and save people."

"It's not a big problem, look at the meaning of the shopkeeper Sun, as if you can find your whereabouts in a few days."

"I don't know how Mr. Wen is doing now."

Shopkeeper Sun returned to the dart game, drank a few pots of strong tea, and thought for a while. He patted his chest at the Australian maritime merchants, and he already had seven or eight points of confidence in his heart. It was already a sure thing that there were prostitutes on the water, even if the Australian Ran Catcher didn't say anything about the barefoot footprints, the smell in the house told him this. But how to check it is a bit tricky - the rule of the dart game is not to set foot in a place like a brothel and a flower boat. Unfamiliar with the human head inside.

Fortunately, the food supply of the flower boat still needs to rely on the traders on land. From the mouths of those small traders who specialize in buying and selling flower boats, there is definitely something to know. Not to mention, one more person on the boat will increase the food a lot.

At that moment, I called a few dart masters to come over and divided them into two groups, one group dressed as traveling merchants to go to the secret visit, and the other group asked familiar vendors to inquire. After such an instruction, he instructed:

"You have to pay attention to ask if there are any boats that have recently had guests who have chartered boats, or which boats have suddenly stopped taking passengers."

The area on the boat is very small, and it is impossible to pick up passengers while hiding the ticket.

As long as you find out where the ticket is hidden, it is not difficult to save the ticket. Shopkeeper Sun has done ticket rescue for several old customers in the past, he knows that the kidnappers are not likely to be with the meat ticket, and most of the people who watch the ticket are some small minions, this is afraid of showing his face in front of the ticket, and second, he is afraid that if the place where the ticket is hidden is cracked by the government, he will not follow the jade and burn.

However, Na Ran also said quickly: The main job of the dart game is to inquire about the news, and as for what Zuihou does, it is up to them to decide.
