Chapter 38: Tailgating
Lin Jiuniang looked at the three of them thoughtfully, she was a little strange just outside, she had never heard Wang Ran say that there was any childhood sweetheart, she came to Chengdu Mansion to find someone or something, at this time, looking at the reaction of the man and woman, she even concluded that this matter is not simple!
Wang Ran saw Lin Jiuniang's suspicious expression, and hurriedly said, "Sister Jiuniang, don't worry, I'm friends with them, and I was naughty with them just now." ”
"Phew, who's friends with you, the disciple." Li Jin'er said angrily.
"Hey, hey." Wang Ran also knew that his explanation was very far-fetched, so he had to continue to say to Lin Jiuniang: "The top priority is to rescue Uncle Su, and my two friends can help a lot." ”
Lin Jiuniang's attention was really diverted, and she said happily: "Really? Do you have a solution? Are these two friends of yours the sons of eunuchs? She saw that the Li brothers and sisters were good-looking and had a dusty temperament, so she felt that they must have a prominent family background, and maybe they could use the power of the government to help rescue Su Daya.
"Well, sort of." Although these two people should not be nobles, they have also pretended, and it is not all a lie for me to say this, Wang Ran silently excused himself, and then said: "Sister Jiuniang, wait a minute, I'll talk to them." Then he took the Li siblings aside.
Wang Ran looked at the unruly Li Zongyu and the angry Li Jin'er, and couldn't help but think of the conversation between the guards just now, so he wanted to ask why they assassinated Qi Yuanzhen and that Lord Wang, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he had to briefly explain the reason why Su Daya was taken away, and how he planned to rescue him, and begged the Li brothers and sisters to draw their swords to help.
"Hmph, why should I help you, disciple!" Li Jin'er was still angry.
"It's not to help me, it's to help Uncle Su, and it's to help the Su family. Uncle Su is a good person, good people should have someone to help if they suffer injustice, Fairy Li is a hero, and he is good at fighting grievances, if he can help rescue Uncle Su and fight the murderers of the Jinti Society, it is also for heaven. Wang Ran said sincerely.
"Yo" Li Zongyu chuckled lightly and teased: "Wang Qi, your kung fu has made progress, unlike the last time you slapped the horse's leg with one mouth." ”
Wang Ran smiled bitterly, in the past few days in the tea shop, he seems to have learned to read and speak with his ears and eyes, and he is no longer the stunned young man before.
Li Zongyu said with a straight face: "Don't worry, you saved us just now, I will definitely help you with this favor, and this is also a good thing, which is in line with my style of punishing evil and promoting good." ”
Wang Ran looked at Li Jin'er with burning eyes, Li Jin'er raised her eyebrows, and said sharply: "I don't admit that you saved us just now, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, this girl can solve them with one hand." After that, he felt a little weak, rolled his eyes, and continued to say coquettishly: "But seeing that you are so sincere, it is not impossible for me to help you, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"Fairy Li just commanded." Wang Ran said without hesitation.
"Well......" Li Jin'er thought for a while, then pouted: "I haven't thought of it yet, I'll tell you after thinking about it in the future." Also, don't call me Fairy Li. Although I don't know why, I always feel a little uncomfortable when I hear Wang Ran call me like this.
"Yes, Miss Li."
Li Zongyu glanced at Li Jin'er and felt a little strange, didn't her sister like others to call her a fairy the most? Could it be...... Eighteen changes in the female college?
With the help of the two masters of the Li family brother and sister, Wang Ran finally had confidence in his heart, so he called Lin Jiuniang over and asked, "Sister Jiuniang, we have negotiated." I think we still have to start with the Tooth Merchant Guild, do you know who in that guild wants Uncle Su to kill the most? ”
"Su Daya has helped many customers who have been harmed by the Tooth Merchant Guild to fight lawsuits, and there must be a lot of people who hate him. But if you want to say that you have the ability to invite the Jinti Society, I think there is only one person, and that is Qian Rensi, the president of the Dental Merchants Association. Lin Jiuniang affirmed.
"Do you know his tooth shop and the location of his house?"
"I'll ask the ink girl." Lin Jiuniang turned around and asked Su Xiumo, and then said: "Biji Fang, Yangliu Street, Qian Jiayaji, behind the shop is his house." ”
…
…
Wang Ran and the Li brothers and sisters sat in a restaurant on Yangliu Street, staring at the movements of the Qian family on the opposite side.
"By the way, why did you go to the Wang's teahouse so swaggeringly, the diagonal opposite of the teahouse is the transfer envoy Si Yamen, aren't you afraid of meeting that Liu Pu?" Wang Ran wondered.
"Liu Pu is dead." Li Jin'er said.
"Wang Xiaobo We were also present when they attacked Pengshan County, the righteous army was still attacking the city, and the people in the city had already rebelled, they attacked the county government and killed the county commander Wu Jindong, Liu Pu and his men were also in the county government at that time, so they were not spared." Li Zongyu said with a complicated expression.
Wang Ran was silent and continued to stare at the movement on the other side.
The three of them waited for an afternoon, only to see that the Qian family kept customers coming in and out, but they didn't see anyone in the store coming out.
It wasn't until the bangzi when he hit the door that the Qian family Yaji closed the door from the inside, and Wang Ran's heart sank.
"What to do? Isn't that something that has nothing to do with him? And even if he is a troublemaker, he may not come forward in person. Li Zongyu said helplessly.
Wang Ran pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Let's go to the back door and stare for a while." "Although the Jinti Society does all kinds of evil, it acts quite low-key, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to deal with them, and if this matter leaks out, Qian Rensi can't afford it, so he is very likely to come forward in person, Wang Ran believes in his own judgment.
The three of them went around to the back door of the Qian family, and waited for about half an hour, the back door finally opened, and a person walked out with a burden on his back, and his body appearance was very similar to the Qian Rensi described by Su Xiumo, and Wang Ran and the three of them quietly followed.
Qian Rensi really went to Jinpu Fang in the west of the city, Wang Ran and the Li brothers and sisters followed for more than half an hour, followed Qian Rensi into Jinpu Fang, and followed him around the workshop for a while, seeing that he finally stopped in a remote alley, observed left and right for a while, and then knocked on the side door of a house and entered.
The three of them also walked into the alley with light steps, took out a black cloth to cover their faces, Li Zongyu jumped on the wall first, squatted on the wall and looked at the courtyard, nodded at Wang Ran and Li Jin'er, Li Jin'er also jumped on the wall, and then looked at Wang Ran.
Wang Ran knew that she wanted to see her own jokes, so she had to smile bitterly, squatted down and jumped hard to climb the eaves of the wall, although her movements were far less light and chic than the Li brothers and sisters, but she didn't make a fool of herself.
The Li brothers and sisters looked surprised, but quickly calmed down again, and then jumped into the courtyard, and Wang Ran also turned over and slipped in.
Wang Ran hid in the shadows under the tree next to the wall with the Li brothers and sisters, looked left and right at the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was quite large, and in the middle was a hall, with seven or eight strong men standing at the door, and there were faint voices in the hall, and the three of them quietly sneaked to the side of the hall and pricked up their ears.
"Peng Dalongtou, is he still alive?"
"I didn't die, I just passed out. What about money? ”
"Bring it, this is three hundred taels, I can only make up these for a while, and you can give me some time for the rest, and I will definitely send it to you in a few days."
"Don't lie to me, or else... Hmph"
"Little Lao'er naturally doesn't dare to lie to you, and he won't lose a penny. It's just that what are you going to do with this Su Daya? ”
"What do you want to do with it?"
"Is the big dragon head really ready to release people after receiving the money? It's a scourge for this man to keep. ”
"You want his life? Yes, the man is right in front of you, it's a knife, you can kill him with your own hands. ”
"Uh... Hehe, the little old man is panicked when he kills a chicken, how dare he kill someone, let's do it! ”
"Hey, you Qian Rensi tried hard to put him to death, and now you are pretending to be kind to me, if you want me to do it, you can, take another five hundred taels."
"Well, then it's better not to take care of you, so as not to get your hands dirty, I'll do it myself."
"Hey, sure enough, villain, I regretted it, you have to pay me another five hundred taels, otherwise I will put him back when I get the ransom."
"This..."
Wang Ran was a little relieved when he heard this, looked at the door of the lower courtyard, and saw that the front yard was brightly lit and there were faint voices, so he compared with the Li brothers and sisters, and then quietly leaned towards the courtyard gate.
