Chapter 90 The truth is revealed
Let's say that when Gu Haotian entered the house after exiting, he accidentally kicked down the clay pot, which alarmed the people in the house, only between the stone, fire and light, he thought of a person, and quickly opened his mouth and came back in a vague voice:
"Little Lai Er, go up to the thatched house, and accidentally touched it."
"The daredevil, the straight lady thief, that big slap is not enough to eat, isn't it?" The people inside muttered two words, and then there was no sound.
Gu Haotian secretly shouted luck in his heart, otherwise, if he didn't say anything, he would definitely alarm the youth class. So he didn't dare to be careless anymore, and sneaked to the backyard door, he pushed twice on the shins of the two unconscious gangsters, and then let Bian Xiang and Yuan Lang go out first, and he still closed the door, and came out of the wall over the wall, and everyone quietly retreated.
Hong Ze boat trip, one night is no different, only the two gatekeepers in the backyard got up early in the morning and said that they didn't sleep well last night and fell off the pillow, and their necks ached.
After Gu Haotian and the others returned to the ship, they took a short rest and set off at dawn to return. Along the way, Gu Haotian, Xiao Jiasui, and Shangguan Yi analyzed the two paragraphs that the hotel and Fang had just heard in the Green Gang in the afternoon.
"Ba Saburo must be the owner of the ship I robbed, I only thought that he had something to do with Zhao Zhuang, but I didn't expect him to be a member of the Green Gang. The five-day period is supposed to be an agreement to do something, and in my opinion it is to deliver food. Xiao Jiasui analyzed.
"Mr. Xiao is reasonable, the Zhaozhuang that the Shiqian brothers visited before has grain, and the master is the master of the Xuyi County Order, if so, then the master is the Xuyi County Order."
Gu Haotian heard Shi Qian talk about this matter a few days ago, and when he thought about it at this time, he was right.
"The grain in Zhaozhuang must not be clean, maybe it is the embezzled disaster grain, and the petty officials must immediately be secretly investigated." Xiao Jiasui immediately thought of Zhaozhuang's food source.
"Doesn't that mean that the Xuyi County Commander is the person behind this grain shipment."
Shangguan Yi couldn't believe it, but at the time of the catastrophe, the parents of a county did such a rebellious thing.
"Brother Shangguan, don't you think there are still innocent officials in this world?" Xiao Jiasui seemed to see through it and said talkatively.
The fact that the officialdom and gangsters colluded to buy the grain of the imperial court can be basically determined after the analysis of the three people. Gu Haotian is now anxious about the "five days later", he must meet with Shi Qian as soon as possible, and only in combination with Zhao Zhuang's situation can he make reasonable judgments and decisions.
At noon, the boat returned to Dawangzhuang, Gu Haotian ignored fatigue, and asked people to go to Guishan Town to ask Shi to move over, but he didn't expect Shi Qian to come to Dawangzhuang last night, which just saved a lot of trouble.
"Zhaozhuang is more than ten miles south of Dawangzhuang, surrounded by water on three sides, one side is connected to the land, there are only forty or fifty households in the whole village, all surnamed Qu ,......"
"The surname is Qu, but Qu Yuan's Qu?" Gu Haotian asked in surprise.
"It's this Qu, what's wrong?" The passage of time has been somewhat blinded.
"No, you go on."
"This Zhuangzi is a little strange, those villagers are neither farming nor business, but like a group of nurses, guarding a big mansion in the village every day, very guarded, I stole in a few times before I touched the mansion, but there are rows of warehouses, all grain, according to my opinion, there are 70,000 or 80,000 stones."
"Then what are the stakeholders in the Zhuangzi guarding?"
"I only saw a strong man about forty years old, who seemed to have some ability, but it was strange that the next person did not call him a member, but the owner called him the second gang leader."
That's right, Gu Haotian thought to himself, the three gang leaders died on the lake yesterday on the Qing Gang, and the gang didn't see any second gang leaders, so they thought they were here, and the people in the village were all surnamed Qu, it seems that Qiao County's order and Qu gang leaders are not an ordinary relationship.
Gu Haotian immediately told him about the incident in Hongze Town yesterday, and instructed him to arrange the affairs of Zhaozhuang, rush to Hongze Town in the afternoon, and explore the Qingbang again in the evening to see if there are any new discoveries.
Shi Qian said that there was already Duan Jingzhu and people watching from Zhaozhuang, so he didn't care, and he immediately took a boat to Hongze Town.
After a day and a night of sleeplessness, Gu Haotian didn't feel too tired, he wanted to ask Xiao Jiasui to interrogate Ba Saburo together, but thinking that people still had to rest, he stopped for a while. At this time, Fang Jue's stomach was empty, he pushed the door and went out to find something to pad his stomach, but saw Bian Xiang come in with a bowl of hot porridge and two plates of side dishes.
"You eat some too."
"I've used it."
The two often eat together, and Gu Haotian knows that he will not be polite.
"Bian Xiang, Zhao Zhuang, how do you start?"
Gu Haotian generally doesn't have anything to hide from Bian Xiang, he told Zhao Zhuang about the situation and asked him to talk about his opinion, in fact, there is also a meaning of consideration, he doesn't want Bian Xiang to be a lifelong guard.
"If I do, I won't start in the village." Bian Xiang thought for a while and said.
"Why?" Gu Haotian asked with interest.
"If you start in the village, the grain of 70,000 or 80,000 stones, not to mention whether the ship is enough, it will take several days to carry it. Just wait for them to be loaded on the ship, and then do it again, then the grain and the ship will be both, how happy it is. Bian Xiang knew that yesterday in Hongze Town, Gu Haotian was worried about the boat of the Qing Gang.
"Hey, that's good."
Gu Haotian couldn't imagine that Bian Xiang would come up with such an idea all of a sudden, so he couldn't help but praise it, but he was embarrassed. The two were chatting, but saw Xiao Jiasui coming in from outside the door.
"Mr. Xiao didn't take a break? I was looking for you, and here you are. Gu Haotian got up and greeted the door.
"I'm thinking about Naba Saburo, I'm sleeping."
"But we both thought of going together."
Gu Haotian invited him to sit down and told him about Zhao Zhuang again.
"The relationship between Qiao Zhengxian and Qu Hong is extraordinary! Let's see if we can find some clues in Ba Saburo's mouth, it is better to ask Na Ba Saburo as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many dreams at night. β
"Since Mr. Xiao is not tired, let's start now." Gu Haotian asked Bian Xiang to take someone there, and the owner of the ship brought it.
The owner of the ship was a middle-aged man in his forties, and at first glance he was a real person.
"Doctor, we have no grievances, why are you teasing me, I don't want food, and please raise your noble hand and let us live."
The owner of the ship was also frightened in the past two days, and as soon as he saw Xiao Jiasui, he pleaded repeatedly. Xiao Jiasui and Gu Haotian didn't respond, they just looked at him directly, but they looked at him with a fur in their hearts.
"Ba Saburo!"
When he was stunned, Gu Haotian called out abruptly.
"The little ones are here." The shipowner blurted out a reply.
"Then where do you tell me where that shipload of grain is going?" Gu Haotian teased.
"Ahh
Ba Saburo immediately came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and then sat down on the ground in frustration.
"I also know that you are not a great evil person, if you are willing to cooperate with us, you will not suffer, otherwise not only you, but also the lives of a boatload of people will also be in your thoughts."
Gu Haotian didn't know the details of Ba Saburo, but just said it based on his appearance. However, it was accurate, Ba Sanlang was also the owner of a small boat in Hongze Town, and after Qu Hong came, he forcibly annexed it, and he had no choice but to join the Qing Gang as a small leader, and he has always been a man.
"The little ones are willing to cooperate, but all the families are in Hongze Town."
Ba Saburo didn't have much loyalty to Qu Hongben, but was worried about the safety of his family.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, Qu Hong doesn't know about you, and he won't harass you and other family members in the near future, you just need to give me your home address, and I will send someone to pick it up."
Ba Saburo is also a person who mixes the rivers and lakes, he can see the situation clearly, and now that the safety of his family is guaranteed, he has dropped anyway, so it is better to be simpler, maybe he can get some benefits.
"My shipload of grain is transported to Liuzhuang, that is Qu Hong's hometown, there are more than 200 families, the disaster has been in short supply for a long time, so I asked a boat to transport it over."
"Then this grain is ordered by Qiao County, how did Qu Hong do it?" Gu Haotian asked.
"Actually-" Ba Saburo hesitated, "Naqiao County Ling is also from Liuzhuang, when he was young, he passed on to Huaiyin's uncle as a son, and then changed his surname to Qiao." β
"Where did you know?"
This is also a matter of privacy, Gu Haotian doesn't believe that a person with Ba Saburo's identity can know.
"The second gang leader is Qu Hong's cousin, he is close to me, and he didn't want to talk about it after drinking once, so I knew."
So that's the case, Gu Haotian and Xiao Jiasui glanced at each other, and the confusion in their hearts was solved. In this way, the relationship between Qiao County Ling and the Qing Gang, the second gang leader and the Qu family to guard Zhao Zhuang and other mysteries will be solved one by one.
"These fellows of your boat, can you listen to you?" Xiao Jiasui thought for a moment and asked.
"Only one of these people is Qu Hong's person, and the rest are all my guys from the original boat company, and they are all convinced of me."
"If you are asked to take these people to Zhaozhuang again, you dare to go." Xiao Jiasui had a rough plan in his heart, so he asked.
"The man who Qu Hongβ"
"He won't go, you just say that he stays in Liuzhuang."
"In this way, I will spare my life and have to go on a trip."
"That's very good, you go back and let each person get a token, recently I sent someone to pick you up and other family members."
Gu Haotian listened to the conversation between the two and knew that Xiao Jiasui had made up his mind, so he opened his mouth to eliminate Ba Saburo's worries, but in fact, he also had another plan - if these family members were sent to Liangshan first, they would not be disobedient to Ba Saburo at that time.
In the afternoon of the same day, Du Qian and Shangguan Yi rushed to Hongze Town with their tokens, and took advantage of the night to pick up the families on the boat, and set off before dawn the next day, and returned to Dawangzhuang unconsciously. Due to the shortage of ships, the eighth group of victims, who had been delayed for three days, finally made the trip. After meeting with Ba Saburo and others, the family members of Ba Saburo and others were "given priority" to be transported away, and in the afternoon of the same day, under the escort of Geng Gong and Teng Ji, the last batch of ships in Zhuangshang went to Liangshan.
At this point, there is no more available ship in Dawangzhuang, and the implementation of all plans can only wait for the arrival of the Liangshan fleet and personnel.
