Chapter 260: The Two Gangs Join Forces
"Master Huang, are you asleep too?"
When the head of the Qinglou Yan Hong Fang and Huang Jihuang were fighting hand-to-hand, they suddenly felt an irresistible tiredness, and somehow fell asleep groggily.
When she woke up leisurely, she found Huang Jihuang lying motionless on the bed face down, and she was a little surprised in her heart. Because this yellow catcher is also her old benefactor, don't look at it is fifty miles away, but every time she is alive and well, she will never be finished if she is not tossed for half a night.
Yan Hong couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, a top brand like her has to pick up customers several times a day, and it is rare to rest for a while. This Huang Jihuang relied on his identity as a head catcher, when he gave less money, and when he played for nothing, Lao Bustard and Yan Hong both dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Now that he was asleep by himself, Yan Hong was too lazy to serve him.
But after a long time, Huang Jihuang was still motionless, and he didn't even snore. Yan Hong pushed her hand in surprise, only to find that he was cold, and when he sniffed again, he had long since stopped panting. Yan Hong screamed in horror: "Help! Master Huang, he... He's dead! β
Nearby prostitutes and prostitutes heard that someone had died, and they flocked to see the excitement. The old bustard and the big teapot in the Qinglou also broke in to check, and when they saw that Huang Jihuang was indeed dead, they felt very unlucky, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
Because there are occasional prostitutes in the Qinglou who lose sperm and die, when encountering this kind of embarrassing thing, the family members quietly pull people away, and they never make a big noise. Some family members are afraid that the Qinglou will leak the news, and they often have to pay a hush money. Lao Bustard and the others thought that Huang Jihuang usually owed a lot of money for fat powder, and this time they happened to knock on a bamboo bar in his house, and they secretly rejoiced.
Just when the brothel was in chaos, Zhu Youzhen, Yan Ling and others quietly slipped out of the Qinglou. Taking advantage of the old bustard's busyness, Yan Ling also followed Zhu Youzhen's instructions and secretly took out a few hundred taels of silver from the account room.
It wasn't until he walked out a few streets that Zhu Youzhen tried his best to suppress his voice and smiled: "Well done tonight!" These few hundred taels of silver are ill-gotten gains anyway, so you can keep half of them for the activity funds, and divide the rest! β
Everyone was overjoyed, and Xie Sheng also quipped: "I don't know how many such headhunters there are in Xi'an Mansion, if we come here a few more times, we will make a fortune!" β
It turned out that Yan Ling used sweat medicine to turn Huang Jihuang and Yan Hong just now, jumped into the window like a raccoon cat, first groped in Huang Jihuang's clothes, and soon turned out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and a scribbled note.
He hurriedly flipped back to the next door and handed the note and silver ticket to Zhu Youzhen for a look. Zhu Youzhen looked at it, and almost didn't get his nose crooked, it turned out that this was written by Ma Laosi, the leader of the Yulin Merchant Gang, and the content was nothing more than asking Huang Jihuang to arrest the people of the Shaanxi Merchant Gang and the Huanghai Merchant Gang in the name of tracking down the murderer who injured the yellow eel. It's better if you can ask for clues, and if you can't ask for clues, you will be beaten up first.
The note specifically mentioned that Huang Jihuang sent more people to search for the whereabouts of the "surnamed You". As long as he is caught, he will first break his limbs, cut off his tongue, and then find a random murder case, put the murderer's hat on the head of the "surnamed You", and use the knife of the government to remove him. This 1,000 taels of silver tickets is only a deposit, as long as you can catch the "surnamed You", there will be 3,000 taels to be sent later.
Zhu Youzhen was furious when he saw it, and said in his heart that this horse is so vicious! It seems that Huang Jihuang has done a lot of similar things, otherwise he would not have been so big and carried the note with him.
Originally, Zhu Youzhen hadn't made up his mind to take Huang Jihuang's life, but now he stood up and said: "Second shopkeeper, kill him!" It's best not to show your feet! β
Yan Ling took the order and returned to Huang Jihuang's room. He didn't use a knife or brute force to twist his neck, but lifted the pillow on the bed and covered Huang Jihuang's head fiercely.
That Huang Jihuang was hit by sweat medicine and was asleep, how could he have half the strength to resist? His hands and feet twitched for a while, but the amplitude became smaller and smaller, and finally he did not move at all and died of exhaustion.
Yan Ling took away the pillow and put Huang Jihuang's body face down. In this way, it won't be long before corpse spots will appear on the face of the corpse, which can just cover up the traces of suffocation, and even if it is fake, there is no abnormality.
At this time, several people recalled what had happened just now, on the one hand, they praised Yan Ling's methods, and on the other hand, they also felt extremely happy for the people in addition to a harm.
After returning to the rented cottage and having a good night's sleep, Zhu Youzhen and the others traveled again. Because I have the bottom in my heart, this time I acted separately. Xie Sheng and the others were responsible for keeping an eye on the shops of the Shaanxi merchant gang, and as long as they found hooligans making trouble, they quietly followed, wrote down the address, and brought the information back to the hut. Yan Ling chose the easier one to attack and went out to carry out the assassination operation.
Zhu Youzhen came to Xi'an Mansion to observe the government's reaction. After waiting for a while, I saw Li Henian coming out of the mansion, and then Li Zicheng, the shopkeeper Sun, and the guys who were arrested by Huang Jihuang yesterday also followed. Although most of the people were limping, they obviously suffered a lot in the yamen, but after all, they got out so quickly, and their emotions were still quite excited.
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect everyone to be released so quickly, so he followed silently behind. Until I returned to the Champs-ElysΓ©es, I saw that the seal at the door of the store had also been torn, and Li Henian, Li Zicheng, and Sun Shopkeeper entered the store one after another.
Zhu Youzhen pretended to be casual and walked in, and saw that when the officials searched indiscriminately yesterday, the porcelain shards all over the ground had not had time to be cleaned, and there was another fire in his heart.
When the shopkeeper Sun saw someone coming, he thought it was a customer who came to the door, so he hurriedly endured the pain and greeted him and said: "This guest officer, I'm really sorry, there is a little thing in the store, and it can't be open for business today, so you can come back tomorrow." β
Zhu Youzhen saw that the shopkeeper Sun couldn't recognize himself, so he was even more proud in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "It's me!" β
"You are... You Gang Leader? Shopkeeper Sun heard Zhu Youzhen's voice, but there was an unfamiliar face in front of him, and he was a little inexplicable for a while.
"We won't be closed today, we're open to welcome customers!" Zhu Youzhen commanded quietly.
Only then did the shopkeeper Sun be convinced that the person in front of him was the helper, and he was surprised and delighted. He is also an old man in the business, his brain is spinning very fast, and he immediately ordered his men to clean up the store and prepare to open according to Zhu Youzhen's instructions.
Zhu Youzhen dodged into the backyard and saw Li Henian and Li Zicheng sitting and talking. He hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Li Gongzi, are you okay?" Old gang leader, your Shaanxi business gang has also been implicated in the past two days, and You Mou really can't help it! β
Li Henian and Li Zicheng were both stunned, and they looked at it for a long time before they recognized Zhu Youzhen. Li Zicheng was surprised: "Why do you pretend to be like this? β
"I didn't expect the people of the Yulin Merchant Gang to collude with the government," Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, "If I don't wear makeup, I'm afraid I'll have to go in like you." Did you suffer in the yamen? β
Li Zicheng hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just a few boards." The day before yesterday, a hooligan who came to the Champs-ElysΓ©es to make trouble was beaten, and the yellow catcher insisted that we did it. However, he had no evidence, and he did not dare to torture too much. Unexpectedly, he died suddenly when he was a prostitute last night, and his father also checked the yamen and released everyone again. β
Li Henian also slapped the table heavily, and said hatefully: "Disputes between the merchant gangs are common, but this Ma Lao Si is too much, he wants to beat our Shaanxi merchant gang to death with a stick, and he also wants to frame a sincere murderer!" Originally, I was already old, and I didn't want to make a big fuss with them, so I just thought about calming things down. But he and Ma Lao Si actually colluded with the government and didn't give him a way to live! β
"Gang Leader Li is right!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly fanned the flames and said, "Now this is called the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, those three merchant gangs have joined forces, and they have resorted to such indiscriminate means, which is clearly to completely crush the two of us." β
Li Henian took the case and said: "Our Shaanxi merchant gang has been operating in Xi'an for more than 100 years, and no matter how you say it, you can't let them ride on your head and bully!" You Gongzi, the old man has now figured it out, our Shaanxi merchant gang is willing to fight side by side with the Huanghai merchant gang to deal with these three major merchant gangs! β
"Thank you, old gang leader!" Zhu Youzhen said happily, "After all, our Huanghai Business Gang has too shallow foundation, and no matter what, we can't resist the joint impact of the three major business gangs. If you get the help of your gang, you have a good chance of winning. β
Li Henian also smiled and said: "You Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the two of us can tide over the difficulties by working together." Although our Shaanxi business gang has not been sluggish in recent years, it is a local chamber of commerce after all, and there are still some people in the right place. The old man also has acquaintances in the government, and today he used his relationship to protect Zicheng and them, of course, he had to spend thousands of taels of silver. β
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "The matter started because of the Yellow Sea Business Gang, and all the losses of the Shaanxi Business Gang will be compensated by our side. β
"Where did Childe come from!" Li Henian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The old man thinks that the three major merchant gangs have been planning for a long time, and they have long wanted to crush the Shaanxi merchant gang. Moreover, the shops of the Shaanxi merchant gang were only disrupted by some disruptions, but the loss of goods was not large. However, Childe's antique shop was smashed a lot of porcelain and jade, and the loss was more than 20,000 taels of silver. If the son doesn't dislike it, the old man will send someone to send 10,000 taels of silver after a while, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of your gang a little. β
"No need!" Zhu Youzhen smiled heartily, "There is a debtor who is wronged. And You is still a person who has revenge, how many silver taels have been lost by the Huanghai Merchant Gang, I will let those three merchant gangs return a hundred times over! β
Li Zicheng said worriedly: "If we only lose this time, we can bear it, but they send ruffians and hooligans to make trouble all day long, but we can't bear it!" β
Zhu Youzhen smiled mysteriously and said, "Let them come!" I've asked Shopkeeper Sun to open the door to welcome guests, if they want to smash it, just smash it, see who can't hold on in the end! β
