Chapter III: Relief II
Li Zhong lowered his head and thought for a while, what can be consumed on the second floor of Canghai's former residence is not a good stubble, the worst, and it is also a foreign master or something. It is said that last month, a carriage that came out of the Canghai Former Residence after eating collided with an ox cart selling vegetables, and the people in the carriage were estimated to be drunk, and they came out to beat the vegetable sellers. It was so-and-so, so the patrol soldiers directly confiscated the ox cart on the grounds that the vegetable seller occupied the carriage lane, and slapped twenty boards.
"Canghai Former Residence!" Li Zhong walked outside the teahouse and looked at the former residence of Canghai with the eaves and corners across the two streets, which really stood out from the crowd! "Send people to focus on the former residence of Canghai, and send a few more light workers to stay on the surrounding rooftops. A fox can never fight a good hunter. ”
"Yes!" The fishmonger answered, blended into the crowd, and went to deliver the news.
Li Zhong walked back to the teahouse and shouted, "Little Er, another pot of tea." ”
A young man in Tsing Yi ran over with a kettle and said, "This guest officer, I don't know if you want Longjing or Cuihu!" ”
Li Zhong replied: "Longjing! Then I was stunned, isn't this voice? Looking back, it was directly petrified.
Li Zhong looked at Qiao Luming standing next to him, he looked for him for most of the hour, but he didn't find any trace of him, this time he turned around, this guy was by his side, this ghostly whereabouts really made Li Zhong pinch a cold sweat in his heart, if this is a killer, his life will be gone.
Qiao Luming sat on Li Zhong's ground, Li Zhong just wanted to turn over the table, Qiao Luming glanced at Li Zhong and said: "Second master, what kind of person am I, you know best, in terms of martial arts, you can't beat me, if I have a hidden weapon, you can't beat me, but I don't like to bring a hidden weapon, so I advise you not to act rashly." ”
Li Zhong saw that Qiao Luming had been putting his right hand under the table, and his shoulders were shaking like a convulsion, which indicated that he might have a hidden weapon in his right hand, although it would not be a perverted secret weapon like 'Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle', but at such a close distance, it was completely impossible for Li Zhong to dodge the secret weapon issued by the fourth-ranked master in the martial arts. And with Qiao Luming's character of killing a thousand knives, it is entirely possible to quench poison on the hidden weapon.
So Li Zhong sat down, and at this time, the guy from the teahouse stepped forward and asked, "What do the two guest officers order?" ”
"A bottle of daughter red, add a few side dishes, and some donkey meat to burn." Qiao Luming said, and added another sentence when he was finished: "Write this guest officer's account." The guy looked at Li Zhong, and Li Zhong waved his hand in acquiescence.
"This shop is a teahouse, and there are side dishes, but this wine and donkey meat are roasted?" Dude is a bit embarrassed. These two are deliberately smashing the field, right?
"Didn't you go out and buy it for your master, do you need money?" Li Zhong was depressed in his heart and shouted at the guy.
"Yes, yes, yes." The guy cursed Li Zhong in his heart, you are not an official of the yamen, how can you have such a big temper. However, for the customer, the guy still doesn't dare to offend, he can only move his mouth twice, go down, the guy has made up his mind in his heart, wait for the wine and spit on the top of the dish, let you know that you must not offend the guy who serves the food.
"Lu Ming, your strength is so strong, why bother, if you work for a few more years, my position as the head of the dart is definitely yours. As long as you cooperate, the game will definitely find out the truth. Li Zhong's military force did not work, and began to take the warm and emotional route, deliberately turning his head forward and stretching out above a plate of chili peppers, hoping to smoke some tears, and no one could not be moved by the tears in his eyes.
But after trying it, I found that fuck, this chili pepper is a fake, and Li Zhong even suspected that it might not have an effect if it was directly smeared on his eyes, so he gave up decisively, black shop!
Deer chirping? How acquainted am I with you? So he directly ignored Li Zhong's round eyes, "Second master, it's not that I, Qiao Luming, don't believe you, but this time the opponent is not simple, and I don't want to get involved in the dart game, so I can only check it myself." Qiao Luming said.
"We are very good at darts, there are more than 5,000 brothers all over the country, you have to check, with the help of our eyeliner, it will be much easier!" Li Zhong is still persuading.
"The employer, the agent and I have all looked at the goods carefully. The day before yesterday, I received news that the employer of this order was killed the day after learning that the goods had been stolen, and the person in charge of the intermediary also died on the third day. I suspect that their death had something to do with seeing the cargo, and that I was probably the third target, and judging by how easily they stole my slip, I was a master, and if I went to the cell, I would definitely die. "The cell is a terrible place, the jailers are all hired by the yamen at zero hour, once the prisoner is killed, a group will be dismissed, you don't even know which zero hour hired to beat people to death, Qiao Luming doesn't want to die like that.
And Qiao Luming is not looking for Li Zhong's help now, but as a person who has worked together for two years, Qiao Luming morally explained the danger of this matter and asked Li Zhong not to get involved in this matter.
"What is the cargo?" The dart board suffered heavy losses this time, the death of the employer may be related to the theft of the dart sheet, the dart master fled, the impact on the Dingyuan dart bureau is very large, outsiders may say that the dart master of the Dingyuan dart bureau killed the employer and absconded, which is a catastrophic crisis of trust for the Dingyuan dart board, so Li Zhong wants to know more about the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"It's Song Huizong's picture of flowers and birds! But in my opinion, it is a fake, and the employer admitted at the time that it was also written on the order, but this is a high-quality imitation of the brand, and it is also very valuable. Qiao Luming said.
The so-called fakes are divided into three categories, one is to cover a piece of rice paper on the original painting, and after tracing the lines, the painter will restore the painting on it, which is generally just like, and the quality will not be too good, so it can only deceive outsiders who do not know how to do it. The second is an experienced old painter, the steps are the same as the original, or directly copy, the color and pen are done to the extreme, almost the same as the original painting, but experienced people can still see it, because the fake does not have the charm of the original painting.
The third category is a famous artist copying the works of his predecessors, with a pen and color are vivid, in addition, Shen Yun can also do nine out of ten, or even more than the original. This is a high-imitation brand, and the value is generally similar to the original painting, or even a little higher.
Qiao Luming's stolen dart list is a picture of flowers and birds copied by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty Song Huizong, Qiao Luming is very bad at calligraphy and painting, and it is nice to say that the painting tiger is not an anti-dog, and it is not good to call this painting what kind of fucking thing? But the eyesight is still there, a dart master must have such a vision, otherwise people take a fake to you, you can't see it, and stupidly pick it up, to the destination, as soon as you open it, say that you changed the fake to him, looking for the identification of the person to see, it is really fake, but the dart list is written is genuine, and you can't die.
"Is there a thief who knows the value of the painting, so he came to steal it?" Li Zhong asked.
"It's not quite like, one: stealing the painting in our hands, it's difficult, it's better to wait directly until the dart slip is received before stealing, which is more in line with the habit of thieves. Two: thieves will not be killed after the fact, especially thieves with high skills, the style is too different and too different. "The style that Qiao Luming said is a term on the rivers and lakes, for example, if you are a thief, you will only steal, not rob, you are a killer, you will not steal things specifically, otherwise you will choke, you will be spurned by your peers, competition is everywhere, you still come to grab a job!
However, there will be exceptions, because shady businesses such as killers and thieves are divided into faith and money. To put it simply, money only does things for money, is more cautious, and the success rate is less than 60% or even 70%, so they will give up.
And the killers and thieves of faith are completely for an obsession in their hearts, or a sense of personal vanity, as long as they are sure, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and this kind of person is more likely to do choking things.
"So where are you going to start?" Li Zhong asked.
"Ying Tianfu!" Qiao Luming said.
"Why?" Li Zhong was surprised, "Ying Tianfu is the national capital, it is extremely strict, and the big boss may issue a reward order, and then countless good hands will hunt you, you are a black household, and it is difficult to move an inch in Ying Tianfu." Li Zhong persuaded him.
"The destination of that dart list is Ying Tianfu, I want to have a breakthrough, I must go to Ying Tianfu to find this person." Qiao Luming didn't tell the truth, the destination of the dart list was Hangzhou Mansion in the northeast of Yingtianfu, and Qiao Luming planned to go to Hangzhou, but Qiao Luming had to make a move away from the mountain and shift the attention of the dart bureau to Ying Tianfu.
To implement this plan, you must have a messenger, and Li Zhong is the best candidate, because this person has the same name, loyal and honest, Qiao Luming said the plan so heartfelt, Li Zhong would believe it more than 90%. This made Qiao Luming feel a rare sense of guilt, Amitabha!
"Otherwise, I'll send a few henchmen to you privately, if you don't start, it's not easy to do things!" Li Zhong kindly planted an undercover agent.
Qiao Luming glanced at Li Zhong, this product is too kind, it must be no good, but he still said: "Thank you, the second master, but now I must tell you something." You stick your ears out. ”
As soon as Li Zhong heard Qiao Luming say this, he refused his 'kindness', and he wanted to stun himself, but when he saw Qiao Luming's hand under the table that was shaking and cramping, it was a hidden weapon! Helplessly, he stretched his head over, and said with a sad face: "I call you brother, okay, the donkey meat is about to come up, so I paid for it, will you let me eat a bite and then beat it?" ”
"What do you say?" Qiao Luming squinted at Li Zhong.
"With your character, you should give me a penny, right?" Li Zhong said tentatively.
"It's just that I don't have enough points to hit you, I'm running away, I need adequate food supplements, damn, the secret weapon is too heavy to hold." Qiao Luming frowned, took out his right hand from under the table, and shook it twice, it seemed to be really heavy.
Li Zhong saw scolding his mother, this shameless guy slandered himself, where did he get the secret weapon? But Qiao Luming directly cut a knife into the neck of Li Zhong, who was sticking out his head, and said leisurely: "I am a good person, I said that there is no hidden weapon, but you don't believe it." After speaking, Qiao Luming turned into the backyard of the teahouse and disappeared.
