296 Behind closed doors

Du Weiming was really anxious, things seemed to be developing in a direction beyond his control, and he didn't even know what Su Hao was doing now. The more he couldn't see the truth, the more worried he became. He originally planned to put a shelf and wait for Su Hao to come to the guest house to inform him of the relevant matters, but now, he couldn't afford to wait, so he directly called his entourage and ran to Xinglong Gambling House in a small sedan chair.

Outside the door of the Xinglong gambling house, it was as heavily guarded as the previous day. Du Weiming saw the small door that had been blown up by explosives, and it looked like a few bricks had fallen off, plus the wall skin was blackened, and it was not as terrible as the officials said before. He commanded the sedan chair driver, carried the sedan chair straight to the main entrance of the gambling house, and then asked his entourage to negotiate with the guards.

"Du Tongzhi? I haven't heard of it. ”

The little leader of the guards was a young man, and after listening to the introduction of Du Weiming's entourage, he shook his head like a rattle, claiming that he didn't know anything or anything.

"Tell you Bachelor Su to come out!" Du Weiming jumped down from the sedan chair and yelled at the leader of the guards.

"This lord, you mean that we are Su Guard, right?" The leader of the guards asked.

"Exactly." Du Weiming replied coldly.

"He's not here." The leader of the guards said.

"Not there? Where did he go? Du Weiming asked.

The leader of the guards continued to shake his head: "My lord, I don't dare to talk nonsense about the whereabouts of our garrison, and if I talk nonsense, I will be dealt with by military law." ”

"Fuck you!" Du Weiming was so angry that he even came out with swear words.

The surname is Su, it's good not to play people like this! Yesterday I made up a reason not to let me enter the gambling house, and today I simply didn't even show my head, which is deliberately not letting me get in touch with the case! If you really plan to cover the case in your own hands, please say it like this in Runing City, Lao Tzu rushed to Luoshan County for three days. Is it just to be tricked like this by you?

"You all shout to the officials! The official wants to see how long this Su Gaizhi can hide! Du Weiming ordered his entourage.

"Shouting what?" The entourage asked in confusion, they remembered that their master had always been gentle, and there had never been such a time when he was angry.

"Shout Su Gaizhi get out!" Du Weiming blurted out, but before his words fell, he saw the eyes of the soldiers in front of him widen, and the spears and muskets in their hands were also raised. Only then did Du Weiming realize that such a provocation was risky, and hurriedly changed his words: "You just shout: Master Su, Du Tongzhi is waiting for you outside!" ”

"Bachelor Sue. Du Tongzhi is waiting for you outside! ”

"Master Su, Du Tongzhi is waiting for you outside!"

"Master Su, please show up!"

The attendants shouted at the gambling hall at the top of their voices, and several of them had practiced their voices, and the voice they shouted was very penetrating. In the early morning in Luoshan County, it is particularly bright, quite a bit of aftermath, three days of endless meaning. In the past few days, the matter of Xinglong Gambling House has become a household name in Luoshan County, and now hearing such a shout, many people who are watching the excitement do not know what is new, and they have come out to watch with their clothes on.

"What a humiliation! Humiliating! Du Weiming saw that the people around him were pointing at him, and he was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. But what if you don't shout, can you just let Su Hao hide and not come out to see people?

The attendants shouted for about half an hour. There was finally movement in the gambling house, and an old man in disheveled clothes came out sleepily, looked at Du Weiming and the others, and shouted: "What are you shouting." Is it called a donkey? ”

"Old man! This is our Du Tongzhi, how dare you be so presumptuous! An attendant shouted to the old man, in their opinion, Su Hao's official position in the survey camp was a little bigger. But it is not as high as Du Weiming's grade. As for other people, how can they be qualified to scold the street in front of Du Weiming?

Who knew that the old man was not a good talker. Before the voice of the attendant landed, the old man pulled out a saber from the waist of the soldier beside him, glared at him and shouted, "What do you call me?" Scream again and try! ”

"Uh...... The old gentleman is angry, the official is Du Weiming, the same acquaintance of Runing Mansion, dare to ask the old gentleman's name, what is the official position? Du Weiming saw this formation and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round. He found that the soldiers around him were quite respectful of the old man, and guessed that this person should be an important member of Su Hao's army.

The old man carried a knife, looked at Du Weiming a few times on the upper and lower roads, and said lazily: "My name is Xu Guangzu, I don't have any official position, just a veteran." ”

Phew! Du Weiming scolded in his heart, a veteran dares to be so good, and dares to threaten my subordinates. However, since he had already lowered his head, he didn't bother to care about it anymore, but asked: "Dare to ask this veteran Xu, is there a military general in charge of affairs in the gambling house now?" ”

"I'm in charge." Xu Guangzu replied, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"You ......" Du Weiming was stunned, "Didn't you say that you were just a veteran?" ”

"But Su Gaizhi called me Uncle Xu, do you think I can take care of things?" Xu Guangzu said proudly.

Du Weiming nodded: "It turns out that Mr. Xu is the uncle of Master Su......"

Xu Guangzu shook his head and said: "What kind of uncle, I am not related to him, he is called like this, take advantage of me." ”

"What do you mean?" Du Weiming was completely confused by Xu Guangzu, how could he take advantage of someone to call him uncle.

"It's Wang Yiyu who called me Uncle Xu, and now Su Gaizhi also calls me Uncle Xu, so won't he become a brother with the military department? Do you think this is a bargain? Xu Guangzu said indignantly.

"The Book of the Army!" Du Weiming was so frightened that he fell on his head, what kind of god is this, he can actually make the secretary of the military department call him uncle.

"Say, early in the morning, what kind of acquaintance do you know, what kind of soul did you call when you went to the gambling house?" After Xu Guangzu successfully frightened Du Weiming, he asked lightly.

Du Weiming didn't know whether what Xu Guangzu said was true or false, but judging from Xu Guangzu's daring to call Wang Yiyu by his name, at least this person still has a bit of a background and should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, his attitude softened a little more, and asked, "This old Mr. Xu, the official is anxious to see Master Su, can I ask Mr. Xu to inform me on his behalf?" ”

"You want to see Su Gaizhi?" Xu Guangzu nodded, then turned his head to the sergeant next to him and asked, "What about your garrison?" ”

"Back to Mr. Xu Qian, the garrison led the team to pursue the strongman last night, and he hasn't returned yet." The sergeant replied that Xu Guangzu was the general manager of the firearms department, and the sergeants did not dare to slack off on him.

"Oh, that's not there." Xu Guangzu said, "Du Tongzhi, please go back." ”

"That'...... When will Master Su come back? Du Weiming almost cried.

Xu Guangzu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, this matter of chasing the strongman, maybe all the way to the strongman's lair, maybe it was ambushed by the strongman, so it's impossible to come back." Du Tongzhi, please go back, if Su Gaizhi comes back, I'll just tell him. …… By the way, don't shout anymore, veteran, I gambled all night, and as soon as I fell down and was confused for a while, I was woken up by you. ”

After that, he didn't wait for Du Weiming to say anything more, then turned around and walked back to the gambling house.

"This old thing!" One of the attendants scolded in a low voice, but he didn't dare to really challenge Xu Guangzu. Everyone knows that this kind of veteran ruffian is the most difficult to mess with, they all crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they don't take their own lives seriously or other people's lives, is this something they can afford to provoke?

Du Weiming returned to the guest house in a sedan chair, and then sent someone to find Lang Zhong, who was said to be an old problem with a heartache, and there was no need to mention this matter.

Besides, Su Hao was really not in the gambling house at this time, he led a team of men and horses after a rapid march of 3 hours, and had arrived outside Xiguan County, which is adjacent to Luoshan County. Intelligence shows that there is a Huguang money village in Xi County, which is the culprit of lending usury to harm the people, and Su Hao came to raid Huguang money village on this trip.

"Stop, who's coming?" The guards at the gate of Xiguan asked loudly with spears in hand.

"Officers and soldiers on errands!" Xiong Min, the leader of the team, replied, but his feet did not stop at all.

"Which officer and soldier?" Ma Wu, the small leader of the city defenders, continued to ask, of course he could see that the other party was officers and soldiers, but how could there be a team of officers and soldiers who wanted to enter the city?

"We are from the Kanyu Battalion, and this is our garrison." Xiong Minyang pointed at Su Hao and said.

"Survey the Camp?" Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the county government had issued a notice to these people two days ago, saying that they should be wary of a team called the Survey Camp. Thinking of this, he hurriedly greeted several soldiers around him, took a few steps forward together, raised his spear, and said, "I don't dare to let you enter the city until we have been informed." ”

"you, you dare to block the master's path!" Xiong Minyang had already walked in front of Ma Wu at this time, and he couldn't help but say, and kicked the spear in Ma Wu's hand away with a flying kick. Before the other defenders could understand what was going on, several soldiers from the survey battalion had already rushed forward, disarmed them, and kicked them down one by one.

The city guards in each prefecture and county are all local guard sergeants, and there is no military training at all, and they are just holding spears to scare and scare the people on weekdays.

"Guys, if you have something to say." Ma Wu knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, and said in a loud voice.

"Do you know the roads in the city?" Xiong Minyang asked by pinching Ma Wu's neck with his hand.

"Know, know." Ma Wudao.

Xiong Min looked up and said, "Let your people continue to guard the city gate, and you can go with us." ”

"Where are you going?" Ma Wu asked.

"I'll tell you when I enter the city!" Xiong Min said, and then pushed with his hand, Ma Wu stumbled forward two steps, did not dare to resist, and obediently led everyone into the city.
