Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 60 The Great Wedding
Like the process in all detective films, Tu Shi has to investigate first. He believes that if the other party is really short of money, he will not just give up with one vote.
He first found the largest snake in Yibei City, the Yamen, and gave the two fast catchers money (although I heard that the high reputation value can make NPCs bend the law for personal gain, but Tu Shi still trusts the magic of money), and learned that there have been robberies recently, but the perpetrators and victims of each case are different, and there is no connection between the cases. The money he gave was only enough to get the news, and he couldn't get anything more detailed.
Then go to the To's Liquor Store and ask. The Northern Tiger Gang is said to be a gang, but it has little to do with martial arts, most of the people in the gang are bitter people who are mixed in the lowest strata of society, and some are just a body of strength, and the one who can be commented on by the rivers and lakes is Wang Yizhi, the gang leader. It is said that Wang Yizhi himself was born in the green skin of the market, and when he was young, he did not do his job, and he did not do big evils but continued to do small evils, and after becoming famous, he not only did not get rid of the relationship with the coolies, but also recruited troops and horses from all sides, and came out as a whole gang in a decent manner, occupying half of the sky of land transportation and transportation in the north. However, the north and south have never been one, and the Northern Tiger Gang north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains came to Jingzhou to open a wharf, and they just touched the dust. Mo said that the entire Jingzhou, even the twists and turns in this memorizing the northern city, is not something that a group of reckless men can eat.
If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence. The Northern Tiger Gang has been treated unfairly, and many of the gang are bloody men, so it is easy to resort to force, so many people are waiting for the Northern Tiger Gang to break out, and wait for them to kill themselves, but it's no wonder here - the Northern Tiger Gang is too obedient! Except for the fights and brawls of individual personnel in the first few days, until now the gang has been well controlled, which makes people have to look up at Wang Yizhi. People say that "the wrath of the horseman is five steps of blood", and it seems that the "five-step knife" is not only the courage of the horseman.
Du's liquor store is nominally selling wine, but in fact it is a big stronghold of the characters in Beicheng, and the shopkeeper Du said that the Northern Tiger Gang abides by the rules, that is, it really abides by the rules, at least it is not like the ugly man who kills people on the street. The Northern Tiger Gang also respects Du's wine shop, and the first one to worship is the true Buddha of Du's shopkeeper, and he draws a line for the gang leader: sell cars, sell horses, sell lives, don't steal, don't rob, don't kill. The number of courtesies is so sufficient, and the shopkeeper Du is not embarrassed to embarrass them.
Let's go to the Luoyi Building and ask. The shopkeeper Tong is not there, it is said that he personally sent the white jade chicken fir to the city lord's mansion, and he has not come back yet. Tu Shi learned a lot from the little guy: the relationship between the shopkeeper Tong and the Northern Tiger Gang is okay, after all, the shopkeeper Tong is from Jizhou, and it is not easy for the people in the Northeast to come here, can you not take care of the fellow countrymen? Besides, the Luoyi Building itself is the head snake of Yibei City, but the shopkeeper Tong is not a native of this place, and he is also a dragon who crosses the river, if it weren't for the gold-lettered signboard of the Luoyi Building to rest here (plus he does have a little wrist), which local businessman will serve him? Let's just say what insurance was called the last time I promoted a new thing, and there were few responders, which can be seen from this. is also a fallen person at the end of the world, so the shopkeeper Tong and the Northern Tiger Gang naturally look at each other, and most of the business in the car and horse shop is taken care of by Luo Yilou.
These lace news Tu poems listened to with relish. The attributes of the NPCs in "Qiankun" are all introduced, but most of them are only one-sided, once you get to know these characters in depth, you will feel that they are not virtual, but like real people.
For example, Dabao - the boss of the Northern Tiger Gang in Yibei City, said to be the boss, in fact, it is not a big deal, according to the news in Du's wine shop, Wang Yizhi wants to develop Jingzhou business, of course, he sent his right-hand subordinates over, but this right-hand man does not know how to doppelgΓ€nger, and he can't take care of the west when he sits in the east, so this subordinate assigned the second-level subordinates to various towns according to the degree of oil and water in the town, and it is the most lame and useless Dabao who is sent to Yibei City. People say that "the dwarf picks the general", the Northern Tiger Gang with a single source of personnel is all bitter haha, no matter how to pick, the backbone of the pick out is still illiterate, Dabao is the most vivid example, to recall that Beicheng can mess up everything, it is said that Wang Yizhi's powerful subordinates are so angry that they want to throw down this group of mountain cannons and let them fend for themselves.
After wandering around, Tu Shi also came back to his senses: the characters know enough, but this is not helpful to find out who is the perpetrator? He has also reviewed the case countless times, and he feels that the perpetrator's methods are very neat, and it is almost unbreakable under the level of criminal investigation in ancient times, unlike the Northern Tiger Gang. If it is determined that it is the Northern Tiger Gang based on the uncertain clues obtained from the initial investigation, I am afraid that it is not a matter of following the vine, but directly catching the blind.
Damn, I thought that the task in the novice village was complicated enough, but now I know that there are more complicated ones, and I have no clue. Tu Shi was helpless and went to consult Liu Dacai.
Liu Dacai, who is still level 10, is still playing chess with his mentor Sun Bin, and when he heard it, he sneered: "You, you never do things through your brain, and you don't think about the consequences, so what do I say about you!" You're not solving the case, you're watching a criminal investigation drama, just looking at the plot and not thinking? Suspect characteristics, you didn't ask; You didn't ask if the victim had a grudge against someone; You didn't ask if there was any evidence left at the scene. The police are professional, you can't do it. β
Tu Shi was a little embarrassed to be trained. He really likes to watch the plot of the game, it's okay to play reasoning, but he's not very good at finding clues and finding evidence, after all, he has self-knowledge: carelessness is the norm, and carefulness is perverted. He asked: "Then I think the Northern Tiger Gang is suspicious, what should I do?" β
"What else can I do, unprofessional people will be honest and practical in unprofessional methods, and you won't be able to startle snakes? Drag your NPC friend to the carriage and horse shop tomorrow morning, saying that you want to ask about the market, and the other party's weak words will definitely show your feet. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Early the next morning, Tu Shi and Bao Jiwan came to the North Tiger Gang together. On the way here, Tu Shi pretended to ask inadvertently, and asked Bao Jiwan if he remembered the accent of the two masked people, and the answer he got was a northern accent, and he was not a local when he heard it.
"This ...... Why are you next to the coffin shop? "Bao Ji arrived late and looked at it, and it was also staggering.
Dabao is not there, and the people who came forward to introduce him are all errands, as far as Tu Shi's observation is concerned, the other party's performance is not a little unusual, it seems that it really has nothing to do with this matter. He lost his interest, but the more he asked, the more energetic he became, until he muttered: Does Lao Bao really want to buy a few more horses?
The most annoying kind of person who does business is the one who doesn't buy just asking the price. The two of them asked for a long time but didn't pay for it, patted their butts and left after asking, Tu Shi himself was panicked, he looked back after walking out of the road, and found that the one who had just answered was standing in place and not moving, and he was still looking at them, and a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist didn't know where to put his hand, just like a little girl who had been wronged......
This silhouette was deeply imprinted in Tu Shi's heart, making his mouth bitter for a while. Hitting the grass didn't startle the snake, but first surprised myself.
Then the two went to see Qi's family to welcome their relatives. The Qi family is the largest landlord in Yibei City, and they have purchased 100 acres of fertile land, which can be regarded as a rich party, so the scene of welcoming relatives is certainly not small. Qi Sangongzi was wearing the clothes of the groom's official, with a big red flower on his chest, riding a tall horse that was not quite suitable for him, and he was proud to bow his hands in all directions, and also glanced at Tu Shi and Bao Jiwan a few times, but it is estimated that he did not have much impression of the two, and he didn't even say a word of greeting, I am afraid that he had forgotten about inviting the two. The two of them didn't care, anyway, they knew that it was such a file, and they didn't prepare a congratulatory gift at all. The gap between the white body and the rich is too big, and it is better for the two sides to have less contact.
In these years, businessmen always want to catch up with officials, and with the current status of the Qi family, of course, it is impossible to marry other wealthy families. The woman is the county Cheng (Zheng Bapin), the No. 1 Bao family in the official mansion of Yibei City, and she is married to the niece of Lord Bao. This look, this niece to the son of that family, seems to be the right person, in fact, it is the Qi family to take advantage, you must know that this Jingbei Bao family is not small, the ancestors have officials to the prince and young master (Zheng Erpin), and now there are also people in the three provinces and six departments on an errand, who married Bao Fengxue's niece is simply stepping on a Qingyun avenue, no wonder the Bao family has resigned three or four times, forcing the third son of Qi to at least mix with a post.
This greeting is a relaxing and oily event for players. The Xuanyuan Five-member group has long had a good relationship with the Qi family, came forward to maintain order, and shouted everywhere to add joy to the auspicious day. These players all received a set of family clothes, but Tu Shi laughed miserably: playing the game to NPC masters, what is the picture, there is no Sister Qiu Xiang at home. Of course, the Qi family didn't expect all players to do things, and they also hired a few nurses from the Northern Tiger Gang. Of course, the northern men can't play the southerners, but they also have their strengths, that is, they have big shoulders and round waists, and people dare not make times when they stand anywhere. Tu Shi estimated that this employment fee might be a little higher than the ordinary business dealings of the carriage and horse dealers, which was enough for the Northern Tiger Gang to spend for a few days.
Xuanyuan Dragon God wears the color of the steward, it seems that the backbone is the backbone, and the treatment is different from that of ordinary players. He also does the work that only a steward can do, assigning tasks to players, such as detecting road conditions in advance, or luring away beggars who block the road and beg for money, etc., things are very tedious, but they are all easily completed by him. He saw Tu Shi wandering like an idler, and then looked at the undisguised level (level 20) of others, sighed, and beckoned the other party to come over: "What are you doing here?" If you want to take the mission, you should have come a few days earlier, and now the mission has been robbed. β
It's not robbed by someone, but by your Xuanyuan people, right? Tu Shi smiled disapprehantly: "I wasn't free a few days ago, so I didn't catch up." "He was telling the truth, he was still on the road a few days ago, how could he think of going to Qi's house to pick up the task?
The dragon god shook his head: "I haven't seen you for so many days, but you haven't changed any of your equipment?" It's too bad, isn't it? As soon as he said it, he regretted it, don't climb along the pole and ask him for equipment. The Xuanyuan Five-member group has an agreement, even if the equipment is replaced, it is not easy to give away, and it must be kept and put into the guild warehouse after the guild is officially established and let the members use it.
Tu Shi was even more unimpressed. He relies on his sensitive body, the monster can't touch his side, and he doesn't need to calculate the defense power at all, so what are you doing with changing equipment, it's a waste of money.
A little bit of affection in the novice village has already faded away, the two of them don't talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, the dragon god continues to preside over today's wedding task, and Tu Shi and Bao Jiwan set foot on the road to Yangzhou together.
