Chapter 124: Trying to Catch the Dead
"Aha...... I didn't expect our eldest brother to be so uplifted. Tianba, you really have to learn this from this big brother. Li Tianyu didn't care and laughed.
"Wu Dalang" stared at Li Tianyu coldly, without saying a word, his face was full of contempt.
"Actually, I don't hide it from Brother Da Lang, your gang, oh, or should I say that your gang's rudder in Yangzhou is now undefeated and self-defeating. Your little grass boy has vomited blood and died. The entire Salt Gang has been torn apart, like a plate of loose sand. But seeing that Li Tianyu did not ask about this "Wu Dalang", he informed him of the information of these salt gangs.
"You, you killed our son?" Seeing that Li Tianyu's expression didn't look like a joke, and that he had already learned the origin of his helper, this "Wu Dalang" couldn't help but panic in his heart, and said in a trembling voice.
"I said that he vomited blood and died, and he had nothing to do with me. Oh, by the way, he vomited blood, as if because his salt smuggling was exposed. It's not that I said that you guys, you have a good salt gang, what's not good to play, usually it's okay to cut people, set fires, rob, and collect protection money. But why didn't he have a long eye, and he had to play with the illegal things of smuggling salt that went against the court and couldn't get along with the emperor? was also caught by the discerning and selfless Lord Chen, who was in charge of the customs inspection. In this way, even the good wishes of our brothers of the Tianyu Alliance who want to personally slash your salt gang thieves will be difficult to come true. It's a pity, it's a pity! Li Tianyu looked very distressed and said regretfully.
Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai on the side heard Li Tianyu's words that seemed to be nothing, and they both had expressions that they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"You, you, it must have been you who colluded with the Qin family to frame us." Seeing that "Wu Dalang"'s face turned pale in an instant, he didn't know whether it was out of fear or anger, and his body trembled like chaff.
"Oh? Is it? You should go and tell the government about this. Or, I'll let you go right now and let you cry out? Li Tianyu joked with a smile on his face.
"You, you ......" "Wu Dalang" was so angry that he couldn't speak at all. He knows best whether his gang leader has smuggled merchant salt, but if no one has the intention to expose this matter, it will not end up like this. Those who have enmity with their own salt gang are nothing more than a Qin family and a Tianyu Alliance. The Qin family is a business opponent, and they know everything about it, but why isn't the Qin family half a catty? The same thing will be destroyed, and the Qin family will never do it. In this way, it is to collude with the Tianyu Alliance and come to frame the Ge family.
"Okay, my eldest brother, I think you know better than I know whether your gang has done these rebellious things. I said, Tianba, but you are talking about the crime of smuggling salt, according to my Tang Dynasty law, how should the imperial court punish it? Li Tianyu pretended to be curious and asked.
"Back to the gang leader, according to my Datang law, anyone who is found to be related to illegal salt will be beheaded and executed at the worst, and even local officials will be implicated." From a small point of view, like the leader of the Salt Gang, he will definitely die, and all those related to this Gou Cao boy will inevitably die. In this case, I am afraid that the entire salt gang will be punished. Zhao Tianba said seriously.
In this way, it means that the son of the leader of the Salt Gang, Gou Cao, will definitely die, and all those related to this Gou Cao's son will inevitably die. No wonder that Ge Gongzi will suddenly vomit blood and die, and the Salt Gang will also be torn apart. If I were a thief of the Salt Gang, I would have disassociated myself with them immediately. Li Tianyu reasoned to himself, and then looked at the "Wu Dalang", only to see that his face was even more ugly.
"If it's to check the smuggled salt, then why don't you go and check the Qin family? His family is the biggest ...... in Yangzhou I understand, it turns out that you, you are actually from the government! But seeing that "Wu Dalang" was talking, he suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at it in disbelief.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to see this! Anyway, I was going to let you go, but now that I'm afraid I'll have to change my mind. Li Tianyu stared at "Wu Dalang" and said playfully.
"Humph! Kill people, huh? If you want to kill or chop, just come. From the very beginning when I was caught by you, I never thought I would survive. "Wu Dalang" said through gritted teeth.
"You said it yourself. However, our Tianyu Alliance has always been famous for its "righteous courage and loyal liver" and "righteous thin clouds", which is not comparable to your salt gang. And as the leader of the Tianyu Alliance, I have to lead by example, so since I said that I would let go of Brother Da Lang, I naturally have to fulfill my promise. Brother Da Lang can leave now, oh, remember to take me to say hello to your family Jin Lian when you go back. Li Tianyu said very casually.
After listening to the words of the gang leader in front of him, the feelings in his heart were extremely complicated, both unbelievable and incredible. Originally, he thought that this gang leader was going to "interrogate" him, but the situation in front of him greatly surprised him, not only did he ignore him, but also said that he wanted to let himself go. If he was the one who set fire to their nest, would he let himself go so easily?
"What's the matter, Brother Lang? Don't believe it, do you? Or does Brother Da Lang want to stay and have dinner before leaving? Li Tianyu asked with a rippling face.
"In that case, then I will take my leave. By the way, haven't you asked the helper for your name? It is also good to remember the great kindness of the helper today. ”
"Where, I think my Tianyu Alliance has always been virtuous and virtuous, and can obey people. Letting you go is like letting go of a mouse in the headquarters, so why worry about such a trivial matter? What's more, I, Xie Wendong, never leave a name for doing good deeds, so you can call me 'Ximenqing'. Li Tianyu said righteously.
"That's how I thanked the helper." "Wu Dalang" only felt that this gang leader did not play cards according to the routine at all, and he couldn't exert any strength in front of him.
With that, "Wu Dalang" turned around and limped towards the gate of the headquarters of the Tianyu Alliance.
"Tianyu, do you really want to let this thief go?" Chen Youliang saw that "Wu Dalang" really left, so he couldn't help but ask Li Tianyu.
"Tianba, do you understand what I just said?" saw that Li Tianyu did not answer Chen Youliang, but asked Zhao Tianba who was smiling.
"Helper Wise!" Zhao Tianba said admiringly.
"In that case, let's do it! Remember to find two clever brothers. If it really doesn't work, it's up to you to do it yourself. Li Tianyu said with great satisfaction.
"Yes, little one!" After saying that, Zhao Tianba turned around and retired with excitement on his face.
"Tianyu, what the hell is going on?" Chen Youliang couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Zhao Tianba's comprehension.
"Didn't I just say it all? You won't tell me to repeat it, will you? Li Tianyu said with a smile.
"This, Tianyu, forgive me for being a little dull, and please show me." Chen Youliang still asked inexplicably.
Li Tianyu saw that Xiao Zhengtai on the side was also looking at him in confusion, so he opened his mouth and asked the two of them: "Tell me what I said to this 'Wu Dalang' when I first started?" ”
"Said that their son Ge vomited blood and died." Chen Youliang asked in a "so what" tone.
"And the Salt Gang is torn apart." Xiao Zhengtai added.
"And then?" Li Tianyu continued to ask.
"Then he said that Gongzi Ge was discovered by the government to smuggle salt, and the entire salt gang was afraid that he would have to get in." Chen Youliang continued, still not grasping the true meaning.
"Oh, Brother Tian, I see. You called him in, not only did you not ask him about the salt gang, but you first deliberately scared him like this, and then deliberately let him go so casually. In this way, he would think that something had really happened to Gongzi Ge and the Salt Gang, so Brother Tian dared to let him go without fear. If he goes back like this, he will definitely be implicated, which is tantamount to going to die in vain. But ......" saw Xiao Zhengtai clapping his hands and suddenly said, but in the end, he fell into incomprehension again.
"Keep thinking. Didn't I say a word to him after I said I was going to let him go? Li Tianyu suddenly said with a smile on his face.
"Which sentence? Our Tianyu Alliance has always been virtuous and virtuous, can we obey others? Is there any mystery in this sentence? Chen Youliang asked in confusion.
“NO! NO! NO! Li Tianyu shook his head and waved his index finger and said.
"Could it be Brother Tian's sentence Ximen Qing?" Xiao Zhengtai asked suspiciously.
"No, no." Li Tianyu continued to shake his head and swing his index finger in denial.
"What the hell is that, Tianyu?" Chen Youliang saw that this was not, that was not, but he was completely confused.
"Hey, why can't you hear a very simple sentence?" Li Tianyu pulled his eyebrows, grinned, and said with a very puzzled look.
"Okay, Brother Tian, don't sell it. What kind of sentence is it? Xiao Zhengtai saw the cheap look on his brother's face, so he said in defeat.
"Do you remember when I said, 'Take me to say hello to your family Jin Lian when I go back'?"
"I think that's what I said. So what? Xiao Zhengtai saw that his brother seemed to think of something, and asked curiously with an indescribable and obscene face.
"Oh, I see. Tianyu, Tianyu, you're too smart. After thinking for a while, Chen Youliang suddenly clapped his hands and cheered.
"What the hell is going on, Brother Liang?" Xiao Zhengtai asked puzzled.
"Hey, if you want to say it, you can only say that your brother Tian is too smart. What do you think, Xiaohao, since that Ge Gongzi can't go back, then you say that if you let him go now, where will he go? Chen Youliang said with a sparkle in his eyes.
"yes, so where will he go?" Xiao Zhengtai was stunned by the question and said confusedly.
"The name of this Salt Gang has actually been heard of before. It's just that there was no such gang in Yangzhou at that time, so I didn't care much about it. Now a salt gang suddenly appeared in the east of the city, and I think it was the salt gang from other places that entered Yangzhou. The Salt Gang, the Salt Gang, is nothing more than related to this salt, Yangzhou originally had only one salt transport family, that is, the Qin family. But recently, a Ge family suddenly appeared, and it overshadowed the momentum of the Qin family so quickly. You say that if there is no intervention and fueling by foreign salt merchant forces, how can he rely on him Ge Gongzi alone? And Xiao Hao, do you remember, that Ge Gongzi said that there was still power behind him. Therefore, your brother Tian thinks that if you let him go now, he will obediently return to the helm of the Salt Gang to report the news. This is also what your brother Tian said, 'Go back and say hello to your family Jinlian on my behalf'. Chen Youliang didn't forget to glance at Li Tianyu.
"What's wrong? Don't you admire me? But if you look at me like this, I'll still be shy. Li Tianyu said "shyly".
"Brother Tian, I feel that the Salt Gang is their biggest mistake against you. Because when it comes to insidious cunning, they are no match for you. After listening to his brother Liang's explanation, Xiao Zhengtai looked at his brother Tian and said sincerely.
"Hey! I said how much you kid made a lot of sense in the previous sentence. Why do you have to add the latter sentence to add a snake? After listening to Xiao Zhengtai's praise, Li Tianyu said unhappily.
"Tianyu, for you, I admire or admire." Chen Youliang looked at Li Tianyu at this moment, and remembered his sentimental and vicissitudes of life before, and couldn't help but say convincingly.
"Okay, okay, in fact, I'm not as exaggerated as you say, it's just a little smarter than you. Didn't you see that Zhao Tianba, that kid easily understood? Li Tianyu remembered that Zhao Tianba's gaze was shining with incomparably brilliant light just now, and he knew that his kid had already seen his intentions. It seems that his kid is really a rare talent, and it is still a little difficult for him to buy that store for a thousand taels.
"yes, it's good we didn't look at this kid at the time." Chen Youliang remembered the scene after the two met this Zhao Tianba that day, and sighed sincerely.
"By the way, Brother Tian, those boxes in the warehouse ......"
"Oh, more is better than less, and besides, we've decided not to care about these anymore, and as for those boxes, come on."
Seeing that Li Tianyu had just shouted, seven or eight junior brothers came from the compound of the headquarters.
"Helper, what's the matter?"
"Helper, are you calling the little one?"
"What do you command?"
…………
"That, that, I now have a glorious and difficult task that requires one of you to come and die heroically. I wonder which of you would like to take on this honor? Li Tianyu looked at the little brothers who came over and said solemnly.
"Oh, him."
"Of course, this kind of beauty difference has to be given to the brothers."
"Helper, what did you just say, the little one was cold last night, and his ears are not very smart."
…………
"Wow! No way? Lao Tzu isn't dreaming, is he? Youliang, you give me a little bang and let me see if I'm dreaming? Li Tianyu saw that the younger brothers were hanging off one by one, shirking each other with a full face, so he pretended to be suspicious and said, but he was greeted with the contemptuous eyes of Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai.
"A bunch of bastards! Since you don't want to do it, well, it's up to you to do all these tasks. If you don't do a good job, you all go back to your hometown. Li Tianyu said angrily "with angry skin and not angry flesh".
When the younger brothers saw that their helper not only did not show their faces, but looked angry, they were all silent. Before, the master instructed himself to stay in the courtyard and laugh at each other, if anyone can tell the helper to see that he is not doing right, he will turn around and say a few kind words in front of the helper. Now it seems that this effect has backfired.
I'm forked! You are all so wronged. Could it be that Lao Tzu is really dreaming? Li Tianyu really had the urge to beat himself at the moment.
"A few of you little rabbit cubs received the order, carried by the Tianyu League, Brother Tian's edict said, now there are a total of six or seven eight or ninety large and small wooden boxes in the headquarters warehouse, and I ordered you to go and cut them down as soon as possible, and then take them as firewood to burn them. Chin this. Li Tianyu said with a serious face.
"Puff ......" saw that Chen Youliang and Xiao Zhengtai laughed in unison after hearing Li Tianyu's "holy decree".
"What's wrong with the guys?"
"Nope!" The younger brothers first looked at each other, and then responded one after another.
"So what do you mean by what I just said?" Li Tianyu saw the appearance of the little brothers, and he couldn't see that they didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he couldn't help but ask angrily and funny.
"Listen, I want you to go and cut down all the wooden boxes in that storehouse, and then burn them as firewood. I wish I could see only a lump of charcoal ash at the end. Li Tianyu saw that the younger brothers looked at each other one by one, but no one spoke, so he continued helplessly.
"Oh yes, that's what I think, Helper."
"Me too, me too."
"I was just about to say that."
"Look, that's what I mean by the helper."
…………
"From now on, I'll count to five, and if you still let me see you bastards, then you don't have to say goodbye to old age, just stay in the headquarters and clean the toilet for the rest of your life. One, five! ”
Seeing that Li Tianyu had just counted to one, these little brothers hurriedly rushed to the door, and after Li Tianyu counted five, these little brothers had already scattered outside the door.
"What's the matter, you two? Look at me like this again! That's how you should see them. Looking at the eyes of the two people beside him who were squinting again, he pointed to the door and said indignantly.
