The notice of arresting the murderer has been posted for a few days, and the official road outside the capital has been strictly investigated, but the two escaped murderers disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated from the world.

Not only the Shuntian Mansion is looking for it, but the Wei family brothers are looking for it, and the Pingjun Wangfu is also secretly sending people to investigate, but they have never found anything.

There was no movement from all sides of the capital, except for Jiubeizi Mansion.

“…… It is said that when Brother Jiu heard this, his eyebrows were crooked! On the spot, he threw the teapot in his hand in the butler's face, scolded them for being confused and unfavorable, and yelled to beat all the Bulcha family out with twenty boards - not only the mother-in-law of Nade Xisun, the brothers and nephews who worked in the Nine Mansions, but even the little concubine was beaten and chased! ”

In the elder brother's office, the sixteenth elder brother was like a storyteller, and his eyebrows fluttered to tell Cao Hao the "jokes" that circulated in the two palaces: "The Burcha family should be unlucky." This ninth brother originally scolded, his anger disappeared a little, and he was about to drink tea, but he found that what he had just left out was the most beloved lying cow cover glazed purple clay pot in Su Yue,—— which was good, and it was broken. The ninth brother was angry, annoyed and distressed, and the fire came up again, jumping to his feet and scolding for a long time, and the boards of the group of Burcha were increased from twenty to forty, and when they were thrown out, everyone only had one breath left. ”

Cao Hao thought of the arrogance of the fat woman, and then looked at what happened now, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at him: "According to me, it is the current report of the Bulcha family's dog fighting people!" The Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade dared not to put it in his eyes, and sprinkled it on the Shuntian Mansion Hall with the tiger skin banner of the ninth brother, and he didn't want to think about it, that old man Shi has always had a reputation for being upright and not afraid of the powerful, how can he be a good match? If it were the master's people, the master would have to knock them to death alive, and they would lose all their faces! This time, Brother Jiu was smart, and he beat this group of dog minions first, or if he didn't turn back, Huang Ama would have to blame him for not restraining the doormen. Now when Huang Ama heard this, he snorted, but he didn't blame him. ”

Cao Hao smiled helplessly, Tao Ranju folded a shopkeeper, and now he has acted in this play again, plus the previous Lin Xiazhai incident and the Guishan incident, which is getting deeper and deeper with Brother Jiu's Liangzi.

Coming out of the palace, the brothers Wei Hei and Wei Bai came up and whispered to Cao Hao that the two escaped ruffians had been found!

Cao Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked how to find it.

Wei Hei replied: "Mr. Zhuang heard the letter in the teahouse and told me about it. Just now the two of us went to the courtyard that Mr. said to have a look, and sure enough, the two who ran away that day, tied up at the moment, and locked the door, they didn't want to run away. Now to ask the son, should we send them to the yamen, or ...... Childe asks first? ”

Cao Hao thought for a moment: "Let's ask ourselves, and then send it to the yamen." ”

Wei Bai said, "My eldest brother and I think the same way. It's just that if we have to send it to the yamen, we won't be able to show our faces, and we will have to go to the trial at night. In addition, in the past few days, the two of us have explored several small gangs in Beijing, and the Qianmen Taoranju is the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, and the Black Tiger Gang is thirty or forty people, and his young man is less than twenty years old, and the son can just borrow his identity. As long as they are scared in the end, even if those two deflated three go to the lobby to confess to the Black Tiger Gang, it will not hinder anything. ”

Cao Hao nodded, the Wei family brothers are worthy of being old rivers and lakes, so it is very appropriate.

* At night, Nancheng, a courtyard in Chunshu Hutong.

In the room, a light is like a bean, Cao Hao is wearing a black shirt, covering his face, sitting in the shadows, he feels a bit of a godfather.

The Wei family brothers, who were also dressed in black and masked, carried the two murderers out, loosened the ropes on their legs, kicked and knelt on the ground, and said in a thick voice: "Our Black Tiger Gang has something to ask you, and if you tell the truth, you have to say half a lie, be careful that we chop you up and feed the dogs!" ”

The Black Tiger Gang has a small reputation in the capital, and these two little ruffians have also heard of it, but they are just a great force, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and they don't know how to express "respect" Well, they shouted: "Young master spare life, no, no, grandpa, grandpa spare life, no, no, no, grandpa, grandpa...... Grandpa Zu ...... Spare your life......"

Cao Haoxin said that if he continued to grow up according to this generation, he would be able to be the same generation as the Terracotta Warriors before dawn, and coughed at the moment, lowered his voice, and followed the lines discussed with the Wei family brothers before: "You two bastards are so daring, you dare to make trouble on the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, not to mention the business that the master protects, and even cause the brothers under the master to be carried away by the eagle's claws a few times!" Say! Who told you to come and make things crooked? ”

The two ruffians kowtowed, and kept saying: "Grandpa spares his life, the little ones are really wronged, they are all the bosses of Wan, they are the bosses of Wan, they took other people's money, and brought us to the capital to kill people, and they didn't do the things of the little ones......"

Cao Hao sneered: "I asked you to come to Beijing to kill people, hmph, if you want to kill people in Beijing, even if you don't come to our Black Tiger Gang, there is also the Qixian Society, which specializes in head trading, and it is your turn to intervene in Tongzhou?" You guys grabbed the business and grabbed us on the ground, and you are still talking nonsense here? ”

One of the older ones confessed his innocence: "The little ones really don't know...... It was all ordered by Boss Wan, he promised us three hundred taels of silver, and we also came with a ghost trick, I didn't want to offend the grandfathers of the Black Tiger Gang, the little ones should die, the little ones should die, grandpa spared his life, grandpa spared his life, grandpa spared his life......"

Cao Hao said: "Three hundred taels of silver for one person? What a big deal! How much silver did that bastard eat? Say, who entrusted Wanjiu that bastard?! ”

The ruffian saw that the young master of the Black Tiger Gang was fierce, and replied with a sad face: "The little ones don't know who it is, they are all the work that the boss takes over by himself, and the little ones only saw the 1,000 taels of silver ingots brought by the buyer later, and said that it was a deposit." ”

Cao Hao was stunned, if he bought the murderer with a silver ticket, it was possible for both local and foreigners; But if you carry a heavy ingot, then ninety percent of them are local to Tongzhou, and at least you can find out from the exchange of silver money from various local banks! It seems that he must go to Tongzhou. At that moment, he asked, "Did you really see clearly?" Take cash? ”

The ruffian swore that he had indeed seen forty silver ingots of twenty-five taels.

Cao Hao nodded, and the words changed: "You have the ability, and you can get gunpowder, even the guilt of the master is added to the first, and said, who gave you gunpowder?" Ye Fei chopped him alive! ”

The ruffian replied obediently: "It was Boss Wan who met a man named Li Xiong who gambled money in Tongshun Fang, and it was he who made the gunpowder." ”

Cao Hao and the Wei brothers glanced at each other, they had received the news two days earlier, and when Shuntianfu was about to arrest Li Xiong, they found that Li Xiong had been killed. This Li Xiong is just a gambler in Nancheng, and he is said to be in the casino all the time, and there is no direct way to contact gunpowder.

Wei Hei went up and gave the ruffian two feet, and scolded: "Grandma! You're taking a dead man on your back? Then Li Xiong has already seen the king of Hades, if you don't tell the truth, let you go with him! Is it really Li Xiong? No one else?! ”

The two ruffians were so frightened that they trembled and said: "The little ones didn't lie, it was really the gunpowder ...... given by Li Xiong, grandpa spared his life, and the little ones told the truth." ”

The old man suddenly pushed the accomplice next to him: "Grandpa, it's him, it's the gunpowder he took with Boss Wan, and the younger one doesn't know anything......"

The accomplice didn't even have the strength to stare at people, and he couldn't stop kowtowing on the ground: "The little one has never lied, he has never lied." ”

Cao Hao said in a vicious voice: "You think carefully about Lao Tzu, who gave you gunpowder and what did he say." ”

The young ruffian thought and replied, "It was gunpowder picked up in Nancheng. Boss Wan said to Boss Li at the time, please Tu Ye'an, and I will go to thank him when the matter is over. At that time, the little one heard that he was a rabbit, and he once laughed with the boss, but he was slapped by the boss, saying that Tu Ye was working under Belle Ye and was a great big man. ”

Cao Hao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What Baylor?" ”

The murderer shook his head: "Boss Wan only said Lord Baylor, but never said what Baylor was." ”

Cao Hao frowned, there are not a few princes in Beijing, and the title of Lord Belle is too folklore, I don't know if it is a real or imaginary reference - some people often call all the nobles of the clan Lord Baylor.

Just as he was about to ask again, Wei Bai, who was suddenly close to the window, made a gesture, Wei Hei quickly turned off the lights, flashed to Cao Hao's side, and said in a low voice: "Childe, someone is coming outside." Entered the courtyard. After that, the two brothers of the Wei family captured a hooligan, tied their mouths with three strikes and five divided by two, and kicked them into the inner room.

Cao Hao secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that the officials of Shuntian Mansion are here? That's fast enough, and if you block the three of them in the house, the situation will be very bad.

The general idea of the three of them was to stand close to the sides of the door, and when the officials outside came in, they would rush out sideways. It is the end of the moon under the left and right eyes, the waning moon is like a hook, the sky is dim, and it is out of the courtyard to slip away in the dark.

However, a low voice came from outside the door: "There was a starry light just now, but now it is gone." Looks like that's right here. The rabbit reacts quickly enough to extinguish the lights. ”

"Hmph, Sijiu City has been looking for these two boys for several days, but I didn't expect them to hide here!" Someone whispered.

"Whether it's the two of them, or the other panting children in this courtyard, it's all ......," there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Cao Hao's heart was a little nervous, listening to the tone of his words, where is the official of Shuntian Mansion?! It is clearly here to extinguish the mouth. He held the dagger in his arms, and for some reason there was a little excitement, the assassination on the prairie, the gunpowder at the front door, it seemed that all the conspiracies gradually surfaced.
