Chapter 18: Worship the Pier
Regarding Qu Menghu's current predicament, the little carpenter decided that he would come forward to solve it.
First of all, Qu Menghu's trip is confidential, if it is not a last resort, it is best not to expose yourself, so as not to startle the snake, so that Cheng Lanting's side has any precautions and vigilance.
After all, even if they are full of confidence in revenge, they must not underestimate the strength of Cheng Lanting and the entire Yucheng Robe Brotherhood, and if Cheng Lanting hears the news, he avoids it and hides - they can't spend a few years of effort in this Yucheng Robe Brother, squatting here, right?
Secondly, the little carpenter consciously met with the Yucheng robe brother here, and there was still some friendship with him.
Although this friendship is very weak, it has long been like a mirror when he was in Jinguancheng, but the scene will still be more polite.
So the little carpenter decided that he would go to the dock of the Yucheng Pao Brother Club to mediate a thing or two to see if he could deal with this matter.
Even if it doesn't work, Brother Yucheng will come hard, and with his ability, it is always no problem to evacuate.
Regarding the little carpenter's idea, Qu Menghu hesitated, but nodded in agreement.
He had many options, but none of them were appropriate.
After the two chatted briefly, when Zhou Ping and Qu Feng came out after dealing with their injuries, the little carpenter asked Zhou Ping about the specific details.
When he learned that the person who ambushed them was called Jiang Da, the little carpenter nodded.
This is also an acquaintance.
Jiang Da, the law enforcement boss of the Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association, this person is not only Cheng Lanting's henchman, but also inferred from Cheng Han's call him "Little Uncle", he is very likely to be Cheng Lanting's junior brother.
And the little carpenter and this person have a lot of intersections, so it is more convenient than strangers to deal with them.
After a few people chatted, the little carpenter came up with Qu Menghu and his two students to explain the excuse.
They probably simulated the topic of dealing with the pier in the past, and after repeatedly scrutinizing it, they determined a point that was relatively easy to say, and the little carpenter set off.
After he went out, he walked all the way in the direction of the docks.
The little carpenter was familiar with this area, turned around, and finally came to the Zhongyi Hall of the Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association.
When he came to the gate of the hall, the little carpenter stepped forward to explain his identity, and told the doorman who was guarding the door that he had something to do and asked to see Jiang Da, the law enforcement boss.
After a few years, the old man still remembers the little carpenter, after all, Cheng Lanting still put on a very polite and valued posture to him on the surface, so he didn't dare to slack off, and at the moment he also led the little carpenter to the side hall of Zhongyi Hall, let him wait a little, and he called someone to inform Jiang Da to come over.
The little carpenter was waiting in the side hall, and not long after the tea came up, a man hurried over.
That person was the old man Chen Long.
This man with long hands and feet is not only one of Cheng Lanting's earliest teams, but also the idle uncle of the Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association and the nephew of Chen Cang of the Yangtze River, because of this relationship, he is deeply valued by Cheng Lanting.
And the relationship between him and the little carpenter is also very good, when the little carpenter was in Yucheng at that time, he was the contact person between the little carpenter and the Yucheng robe brotherhood.
I haven't seen each other for a few years, Chen Long has grown a beard, and he has become a little more old, and the spirit of the whole person is completely different from before.
However, it is also conceivable that as Cheng Lanting's cronies and the nephews of Chen Cang of the Yangtze River, Chen Long was definitely promoted very quickly in the Yucheng Pao Brothers' Association, and now he should also be in charge of heavy responsibilities.
Of course, when he saw the little carpenter, he didn't hold it too much, he walked over very happily and greeted: "Brother Gan, when I came back, I heard from the porter that you were coming, so I came overβI really didn't expect that I could only meet today......
Chen Long is calm and enthusiastic, and he has a good temperament, the little carpenter came back to Yucheng this time, although he wanted to deal with Cheng Lanting, the leader of the Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association, but he didn't have too much malice towards this old man.
He also stood up with a smile at the moment, greeted the other party, and told him about the separation.
The two chatted for a few words, and the little carpenter talked about Chen Long's changes, and complimented him a few words, while Chen Long said with a smile: "I'm just making a small fuss, and I can't compare to your majesty - I've heard that you are now famous in the rivers and lakes, and you have a nickname, called 'Luban Holy Hand', yes or no?" β
Jianghu people are well-informed, even in a remote corner of the southwest, they can hear a lot of news.
Even Hu Renbiao, who is taught in Xuzhou, can hear about it, and it makes no sense that the Yucheng robe brother will not know anything about it here, not to mention that the little carpenter is still known to them.
Talking about this, the little carpenter did not deny it, but only said a few words modestly, telling Chen Long that it was a bit too much outside, and he himself felt that it was miraculous when he heard it, and the real situation was actually not so mysterious......
Long Chen seemed to be quite interested in these, and asked about the little carpenter's events that day.
He also asked about the handling of the Japanese at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
When he heard the little carpenter talk about all the evil things that Xiao Dongyang did in the Northeast, his teeth clicked, and he couldn't help but say viciously: "I don't know if Japan and China will fight, if they really fight, then Lao Tzu will go to the army and kill the little Japanese devil of the dog day......"
The two were chatting here, but Jiang Da, who looked like an old farmer in the countryside, rushed over with someone.
He still has the usual paralyzed face, but he probably vaguely knows that the little carpenter is not what it used to be, and he is somewhat polite, so he came to greet him and chatted briefly.
Chen Long was a person who knew the eyes, and when he saw that the little carpenter seemed to have something to talk about with Jiang, he didn't stay here.
He said he had something to do, and he would come back to the little carpenter later.
He also said that he would not leave after the little carpenter was done, and when he finished his errand, he would invite the little carpenter to finish his meal, and the two of them would find a place to drink some wine......
The little carpenter couldn't just excuse himself, so he smiled and said that he would talk about it when the time came.
Jiang Da couldn't figure out what the little carpenter was doing this time, so he didn't speak next to him, but after Chen Long left, he asked straight to the point why the little carpenter was looking for him.
He is an old law enforcement officer, and he is busy with affairs in the Yucheng Pao Brothers' Association, so he really can't spare time to chat.
The little carpenter didn't go around in circles, but said directly: "I came here for Jiang Da, a person named Xu Qingshan you caught today......
Hearing this, Jiang Da's face suddenly became gloomy.
If it weren't for the reputation of the little carpenter, he would probably have turned his face directly.
However, even if he didn't turn his face, his tone was not very good, and he said coldly at the moment: "That Xu Qingshan, is it your person?" β
The little carpenter shook his head and said no, but his teacher was my friend.
Jiang Da said suspiciously: "Teacher? β
The little carpenter said: "Here's the thing, Xu Qingshan and a few of them, students from Wuhan, together with their teachers, set up a patriotic club, and then they didn't know where they heard the rumors, saying that Cheng Longtou of our Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association colluded with the Japanese and was ready to plot big things, so they couldn't bear it, and a few people ran to Yucheng without permission, wanting to eradicate the traitors who colluded with the Japanese......"
This set of rhetoric was made with Qu Menghu before he came, which is very ridiculous, but it is very reasonable.
After all, the current situation in the country is like this, and the rivers and lakes are an extension of the government's political power......
Sure enough, when Jiang Da heard this, he immediately became furious, and scolded excitedly: "Which long-tongued woman is talking nonsense behind her back, and actually gave us a big hat of 'traitor' for the dragon......"
The little carpenter saw that his attention had changed from "endangering" Cheng Lanting's organization to the false proposition of "whether Cheng Lanting is a traitor", and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire Qu Menghu.
That guy is really a ghost, and his speculation about people's hearts is even a little scary.
He also hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang, don't be angry first, I know about this, I'm even more angry than you - I don't know about others, but I understand Cheng Longtou, I'm not surprised that anyone in the world is a traitor, Cheng Longtou has always been righteous and honest, how is this possible?" So when they told me, I scolded the guys......"
Jiang Da heard that the little carpenter was standing on his side, the anger on his face was slightly soothed, and he said: "Those people are really blind, they hear the wind is rain, they really have a problem with their brains......
After listening to his scolding, the little carpenter said with a smile: "Having said that, although those students are blind and impulsive, they are also patriotic young people after all, and if they do something wrong, it's good to knock and knock, there's no need to be too serious - I came this time, one is to apologize to the Pao Brothers Association and Cheng Longtou on their behalf, and the other is to make a guarantee to Cheng Longtou on their behalf, they know that this matter is wrong, and they will never do it again in the future......"
He patted his chest and promised, and then said: "It stands to reason that my friend should come over to apologize in person, but he is different from these students, and he is not a Jianghu himself, so he can't bear this posture, and now he is scared, so I came......"
He shook out all the rhetoric before leaving, and it was a promise and a good word, and his saliva was almost dry.
At this point, it stands to reason that Jiang Da should mention the release of people, but after he waited for the little carpenter to finish, he suddenly said: "You said that those people are students, not Jianghu people...... I'm afraid this is not right, I not only participated in the arrest today, but also followed the past, but the result was a void - if it is just a Jianghu person, how can he have such a ability? β
After he finished speaking, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
