Chapter 223: The Man Behind the Scenes (3)
Tang Ming was thinking about the credibility of Aunt Fang's words, and she was only forced to steal the drawings according to what she said, not her willingness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info matter has come to this point, these seem to be no longer important, Tang Ming is still concerned about the person who has contact with Aunt Fang, where is this person's current foothold, only by catching this person can he really make a decision for this matter.
"Do you know where the man who threatened you is?" Tang Ming couldn't come up with an idea of what to do with Aunt Fang's current situation, so he could only transfer the problem to this person who met with Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang is a shrewd woman, otherwise she would not have opened such a ready-to-wear shop in the capital, and it seems that she is doing a very good job. As soon as she heard Tang Ming change the topic elsewhere, she seemed to understand what she meant, and said without hesitation: "I know!" ”
Hearing this, Tang Ming was overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"This person used to be friends with my eldest brother, and since Emperor Jianwen fled and the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been hiding, and the 'Zuiyunju' restaurant located in the downtown area is where he operates. This man's name is Sun Tang, and he is a shrewd person, not as brainless as my eldest brother. Aunt Fang no longer had anything to hide, and poured out all her brains.
"Drunken Cloud Residence! Not good. Tang Ming muttered, and suddenly roared and rushed out of the door.
Such a reaction made Aunt Fang unable to react, and she was stunned and looked at Tang Ming who was gradually moving away, not knowing what she meant by shouting badly when she was about to go out.
Tang Ming's shouting is not good, which means that Sun Tang is very likely to escape, because when Tang Ming went to arrest Aunt Fang, he went openly, and even his home was raided by Hou Xian. It would be estimated that Sun Tang had already received the news, and once he got that Aunt Fang was arrested by the officers and soldiers, it would be strange if Sun Tang didn't run away.
Out of his small courtyard, Tang Ming shouted loudly, Li Ba and Zhu Yong were eating in the mansion, and as soon as they heard Tang Ming's shouting, they immediately hurriedly followed with the guards.
When Tang Ming rushed to the 'Drunken Cloud Residence' with a large group of people, after searching, he really did not find Sun Tang. After interrogating the guy in the store, no one knew his whereabouts, this person must not let him escape, and now it has been a full hour since Aunt Fang was arrested, and this person should not have had time to get out of the city from getting the news to escaping.
Tang Ming thought of this, and immediately ordered someone to notify the people guarding the city gate, stop all those who wanted to leave the city, and let people call Hou Xian, at this time, he would be the only one to find someone in the city.
Hou Xian did not disappoint Tang Ming, the eyes and ears of the East Factory are all over the city of Nanjing, this is not an exaggeration at all, in less than half an hour, Hou Xian came with news, saying that he found a person Tang Ming was looking for, and now he is following it, asking if he wants to arrest him.
Tang Ming didn't let them do it, but just asked him to continue to follow, and he himself hurried to the person who reported the news. As long as he didn't alarm Sun Tang, he wanted to see who else could be involved in this Sun Tang.
Sun Tang did not flee outside the city, he clearly understood that when Aunt Fang was arrested, he had been exposed under the nose of the government. When Aunt Fang's house was raided, he was in the crowd of onlookers, and he could clearly see that those people were the doglegs of Dongchang.
How terrible Dongchang is in Nanjing City, Sun Tang naturally knows everything about the city, so he expects that if he escapes outside the city, he will not be able to get out of the city, and maybe he will run into the hands of Dongchang, who has already laid a net of heaven and earth.
The way out of the city was blocked, and the only place he could hide now was the man who was still waiting for him in the city. This person is the culprit who planned to steal the drawings, and he is also the current Mutang Hall Master of the Bright Sect, and all the underground forces of Jianwen in Nanjing are under his control.
Sun Tang heard that a hall master came not long ago, but unfortunately he was killed by mistake when he assassinated that Tang Ming, and the above did not send anyone down, but let this former deputy hall master directly turn positive.
This person has always been ruthless, but he is still righteous, at least his Sun Tang has been taken care of a lot by him. The relationship between the two is not bad, but this time Sun Tang didn't have time to get the drawings, so he will go to see him, and Sun Tang has no bottom in his heart.
But now the only hope can only rely on this hall master, and Sun Tang has no choice at the moment.
The more prosperous the city, the more it will hide some backward dark sides, and this is especially true of Nanjing. The main street of the downtown is prosperous, but the slum area that is only two streets away is very different.
The main street is a clean and flat road, and the paving on the street is richly decorated, but behind this prosperity is the dirty mess of the slums, the loess road is full of sewage, and the pungent smell washes over the human nose and challenges the human nerves.
Sun Tang was disgusted with this place in his heart, but the hall master of Mutang liked to stay here. The bad environment and pungent smell made the people of the government never set foot here, and even if something had to come, they only rushed by.
In this way, this place has become a natural barrier for people who can't see the light of the Mutang Hall Master, and such a bad environment has become a protective umbrella for these underground rats, and it is estimated that the people in the government would not have imagined that the people of the Bright Sect would hide in such a place.
On the potholed streets, the stench was strong, Sun Tang covered his nose with his hands, and his eyes swept around at the dilapidated and low wooden houses on both sides, each of which was almost the same, which made Sun Tang look even harder.
In broad daylight, I couldn't see a few people walking around the streets, and the broken doors of every house were closed, and the desolate appearance made Sun Tang feel like he had walked into a ghost town. He was already afraid of being touched by the people of the government, and when he calmed down in such a bad situation, he suddenly panicked in his heart.
Sun Tang became more and more frightened as he walked, and gradually his pace began to speed up, people are such strange creatures. Once the idea of fear sprouts in the mind, the fear will deepen more and more under the background of the surrounding environment.
Knowing that if you are out of control, you will be scared to death, but you will be more scared than you are scared of yourself.
Sun Tang, who was one foot deep and one foot shallow, no longer covered his nose with his hands, and even his feet and trouser legs had been splashed with a lot of sewage because of the panicked running, but he still ran forward without knowing it.
The street had already run to the end, and Sun Tang's face was pale with fright, and at this moment he rarely showed a little smile, because he knew that as long as he turned a corner in front of him, he would reach the ground. At this moment, there is nothing that makes Sun Tang feel happier than seeing people, and he secretly swears in his heart that as long as he can escape this catastrophe, he will not come to this ghost place even if he is killed in the future.
Sun Tang, who was disturbed by the surrounding environment, did not notice that in the distance behind him, there was a large group of people hanging behind him, staring at him closely. (To be continued.) )
