Chapter 18 The Man Who Wants Money and Doesn't Want His Life

Chengnan Qingyu Street is a market, although because the people living nearby are civilians, there are no valuable goods, but it is also crowded on weekdays, very lively, full of fireworks in the world.

There is a Zhang Ji butcher shop around the corner of the market, the owner of the ancestral slaughter pig, exquisite craftsmanship, the neighbors have long forgotten his name, only called him Zhang Tu.

This slaughter is fierce and vicious, five big and three thick, extremely strong, but he is very honest, he greets everyone with a smile, even if he is occasionally troubled by guests, he has never blushed, so the residents on the street have a good impression of him, and they all say that he is a good person.

"Hey, Zhang Tu, doesn't this meat look fresh today? Don't you also become treacherous and trick people? ”

In front of the meat stall, a chubby lady rummaged through and picked up, her expression was very unhappy.

Zhang Tu nodded and smiled: "I'm sorry, Aunt Li, I wasn't feeling well last night, I didn't kill the pig, these meats were sold the day before yesterday, and they are indeed not very fresh, but I promise that they are not bad."

If you don't dislike it, I'll count you fifteen dollars a pound for five flowers, okay? ”

Aunt Li immediately smiled. You know, a pound of pork belly on weekdays costs more than 30 yuan, and it is not hot in this season, so you can buy meat at half price after only one day, which is not too cost-effective.

"Alright! Then cut me four taels...... No, six taels! Aunt Li gritted her teeth and bought more while it was cheap, there would be no such price tomorrow.

Zhang Tu's movements were very sharp, cut it with one knife, no more, no less, exactly six taels, tied it with a straw rope, and held it to Aunt Li with both hands.

Aunt Li paid the money and left happily, and then a young man with a mustache and a felt hat came.

Zhang Tu was stunned, because he had never seen this person before, but then he still showed his trademark honest smile: "Little brother, what kind of meat do you want?" Tell you, it's cheap today, that's all, it's gone when it's sold out! ”

The young man held his hands, his smart eyes did not look at the meat case, but looked directly at the shop behind Zhang Tu.

His mother-in-law was in the shop, so Zhang Tu frowned and asked, "Little brother, what are you looking for?" ”

The young man's gaze fell on his face, and the corners of his mouth turned evilly: "The scenery outside the window is very good!" ”

Leaving such an inexplicable sentence, he turned around and left.

Zhang Tu's pupils shrank, his expression changed for a moment, he took off his greasy apron, turned around to greet his mother-in-law, and walked out of the stall and chased after the young man's back.

The young man seemed to want him to keep up, so he walked unhurriedly, and although he was turning around in the streets, he never left his sight.

After a while, the surroundings quieted down, Zhang Tu looked left and right, and found that he had come to the southwest corner near the city wall.

It's a remote and dark place, with little sunlight except in the morning, so even the poor don't want to live here, and the few rows of houses in the courtyard have long since become a paradise for wild dogs, wild cats, foxes and mice.

However, Zhang Tu, who has lived in the south of the city for half his life, knows that this is still the stronghold of a small gang of beggars, but at this time, there is no popularity at all, and it has obviously been cleaned up.

It's a trap!

He paused, and already had a boning knife in his hand.

Seeing that he was not leaving, the young man in front of him also stopped, turned around, looked at him with a smile and said, "You are very alert, this is not the quality that a pig slaughterer should have." ”

Zhang Tu's eyes froze, and he immediately understood that the other party should not be sure that the target was him before, so he first left words to lure, and then deliberately cleaned up the place to test his reaction.

Damn, hit the trick!

He clenched his knife and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am." The young man's smile remained unchanged, "The important thing is that I know what you did last night." ”

Zhang Tu vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him, and his face was blank: "I don't understand your words." I wasn't feeling well last night and had been home. ”

The young man shook his head: "Don't pretend, there are a few greasy and oily places on the handrails of the stairs of the B4 warehouse, and there is a pig hair stuck to the window frame on the second floor.

Unless the gangster just fell asleep with a dead pig before committing the crime. ”

Zhang Tu kills pigs and sells meat all year round, and his hands have been stained with grease almost every day since he was a child.

For so many years, he had long been accustomed to this, and he didn't even realize it at all, but when he heard the other party mention it, his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

This clue alone can find me, this person...... No, under normal circumstances, normal people should not notice it at all!

Where did he come from?

Young people, of course, are heroes.

In the B4 store, after judging that the person who looked at the wind should be a butcher through greasy and pig hair, he speculated that the other party's life and activities must not be far from the scene of the crime.

Because, if you accidentally fail, it is easier to escape and hide in a familiar environment.

So, he found the "piece policeman" who was most familiar with the southwest of the city, the night patrol captain, and soon locked down five butcher shops within a radius of two miles from the Yisi warehouse.

Next, it's a matter of excluding them one by one. His luck was good, the sentence "The scenery outside the window is very good" was only said three times, and it led to Zhang Tu.

"How are you doing?"

Zhang Tu slowly raised the boning knife, obviously ready to fight.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not from the government." The hero stretched his arms slightly to show that he was not threatening, and then said, "I'm just curious, I want to ask you a few questions, and by the way, ask for some money." ”

Zhang Tu raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?" ”

"Well...... the hero touched the fake mustache on his lips and said, "I'm a man who can die for money." ”

Zhang Tu sensed the surroundings again, and made sure that there was no abnormal movement, so his heart relaxed a little, and at the same time, a fierce light quickly flashed under his eyes.

He put down the arm holding the knife, and stepped forward as if unintentionally: "Little brother, I advise you to say a word, order this thing, it should be or should be wanted."

Dead people don't spend money! ”

"Brother Xie Zhang reminds you, the younger brother will pay attention."

The hero grinned and hugged his fists, and then with a full expression, he took two steps back as if he was alert, and said, "If you don't want me to go to the Eagle Guard Mansion, then give me ten pieces of money."

Also, tell me who you are, and why did you kidnap the children of the nobles without asking for money? ”

Seeing that he was scared, Zhang Tu calmed down a little more, squinted his eyes and said, "Ten yuan is no problem, but what are you asking for?" ”

"Brother Zhang should have seen that the younger brother is very short of money, and he is so short that he is dying, and good things like the Yisi Warehouse are not something that can be encountered every day. Therefore, if the younger brother wants to know the financier behind Brother Zhang, he may be able to find a relatively long-term and solid job. ”

The hero grinned, revealing eight large white teeth, and smiled extremely brightly.
