Chapter 489: Carpenter
Seeing the cold knife of the dagger in Mu Jin's hand sticking to his belly, the fish shop owner couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, what do you want to know, I said." β
Baili Yunzheng smiled very satisfied, and with a wave of his hand, Mu Jin behind him withdrew the knife.
"Anyway, what the hell is going on?" Li Chuxia hurriedly asked.
The owner of the fish shop lowered his eyes and said: "Actually, I don't know the specific things, I only know that the Lang family does transport a batch of materials in the night every three days, and at the same time transport the finished bows and arrows out, as for where to send them from and where to send them, I don't know." β
"That's it?" Mu Jin couldn't believe it, what the fish shop owner said was really better for him to inquire by himself.
The owner of the fish shop glanced at Mu Jin helplessly, and sighed: "You also know that the Lang family must have an unknown secret to make such a large number of bows and arrows, how could they tell me?" β
The owner of the fish shop looked very anxious and helpless, after all, the salt that Baili Yunzheng had placed on his neck was melting on his wounds, and he grinned in pain.
Li Chuxia frowned and said, "Maybe he really didn't lie, this person is just a cover-up, these secrets, naturally, the less people know, the better." β
This idea naturally coincided with Baili Yunzheng's thoughts, he settled down, suddenly glanced at Lang Qi, and then, looking away, said with a light smile: "Naturally, they won't tell you important secrets, but with such a large batch coming in and out, how could you not want to get a piece of the pie?" β
His gaze was sharp, like a cold arrow, as if it wanted to look straight into the heart of the fish shop owner.
The fish shop owner suddenly panicked and trembled, "YouβWhat do you mean by that?" β
"What else do you know?" Baili Yunzheng sneered.
"I ......," the fish-shopkeeper bit his lip for a long time before he spoke with difficulty, "I have been with them, and know that they are connected with a local carpenter. β
"Carpenter?"
"Yes, the bow body used to make the bow and arrows should be the one he built and designed." The owner of the fish shop said, looking at their puzzled looks, explained, "I am only responsible for assembling bows and arrows here, and the bows are shipped from elsewhere, I think, it must be the carpenter." β
Baili Yunzheng reacted at this time, no wonder in that cave, although they saw bows and arrows, arrow strings and other materials, they did not find saws and other tools for making bows and arrows, which were originally carried to hide people's eyes.
He wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where the carpenter is?" β
"I've been there once, but I don't remember much." The fish-shopkeeper seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said, "By the way, it's near the casino, and the street goes southwest, and that's where the carpenter is." β
Here comes the clue!
Li Chuxia was very happy when he heard this, "We have to go and see." β
Baili Yunzheng nodded, agreeing with her words.
At this time, the owner of the fish shop who was tied to the chair struggled violently, "Okay, I've told me everything I know, it's time for you to fulfill your promise and release me quickly." β
Baili Yunzheng glanced at him coldly, "We can't be sure if your words are true, we have to go and see for ourselves to find out." After speaking, he directly stretched out his hand and knocked the fish shop owner unconscious to avoid trouble.
Feng Bai suddenly became excited, "Without further ado, let's hurry over." β
"There's no hurry." Lang Qi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them, "Let's observe the movement first, this person is very cunning, we can't believe his words, what if the Lang family has set up a net there, just to lure us over?" β
Feng Bai glanced at him and sneered, "Young Master of the Lang family, when did you become so afraid of death?" Just a few little minions of the Lang family, are you afraid of being like this? β
"Not really." Lang Qi glanced at Feng Bai deeply, "If they can cultivate you, they can naturally cultivate other people, the reason why the Lang family can become a famous big family in Northern Xinjiang is probably not as simple as you think." β
As soon as he said this, the faces of several people turned slightly blue.
Feng Bai said: "Then what do you mean, what should we do?" β
"Wait a minute." Lang Qi looked at the darkening sky, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." β
A few people couldn't make up their minds, so they looked at Baili Yunzheng, and Baili Yunzheng looked at Lang Qi steadily, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, then we'll listen to the young master of the Lang family, wait a minute." β
At night, Li Chuxia was a little upset, couldn't sleep, turned over, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person's silhouette reflected on the paper window, she was startled, as if someone was sticking to their door panel and listening to their movements.
She watched quietly as the figure left, and sat for a while before deciding to get up and walk outside the courtyard, only to find it secluded.
Weird......
Scratching her head, thinking that it was the illusion that she hadn't woken up yet, she came back after going to the latrine, just in time to see Lang Qi sneakily rushing back from outside, she called out to stop him, "Lang Qi." β
Lang Qi obviously didn't expect someone to be awake, so he couldn't help but be startled, turned his head to look at Li Chuxia, and said with a sneer: "Why are you here?" Haven't slept yet? β
"It's not." Li Chuxia's eyes were round, and he looked straight at Lang Qi, looking at him like a dusty man, with some night frost on his shoulders, and couldn't help asking, "Where have you been?" β
"Me?" Lang Qi paused, just smiled and said, "No, it's just that I ate less at night, and I felt empty in my stomach, so I got up and went to the stove room to find something to eat." β
Li Chuxia responded, "Then did you find it?" β
"Well, of course I found it." Lang Qi laughed, his face gentle, "Okay, you go to sleep quickly, Ming'er has to get up." β
Li Chuxia looked at Lang Qi with a complicated expression, and stopped talking, but finally turned his head back to the house.
When he entered the house and closed the door, he turned around, but saw Baili Yunzheng also sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against the window, keeping his eyes on Lang Qi outside, until Lang Qi entered his room.
"Yun Zheng."
"It's a little strange that this Lang Qi is really true." Baili Yunzheng turned around, "In the middle of the night, do you believe that he is looking for food?" β
Li Chuxia's face was a little unnatural, obviously, she didn't believe it, but she shook her head, "After so many years, we all know Lang Qi's temperament, he will not betray us." β
"A lot of things, I really can't say." Baili Yunzheng sighed lightly, "People's temperament will also change with time." In early summer, people's hearts are more terrible than you and I imagined. β
Why doesn't Li Chuxia know this? It's just that after so many years of intersection, Lang Qi has also helped them a lot, and she really doesn't want to see him as an enemy.
Baili Yunzheng beckoned to her, stretched out his hand to hug her, and said softly: "In early summer, you also said that you can't have the heart to harm people, but you can't have the heart to prevent people. β
Li Chuxia thought about Baili Yun Zheng's words, so he nodded, "Yun Zheng, I know ......."
Baili Yunzheng sighed softly, hugged her, and the two sat like this until dawn.
The next day, after they got up and washed, they saw Feng Bai running in in a hurry, looking at them with a panicked face, "The fish shop owner has run away." β
Ran away?
"What's going on?" Baili Yunzheng asked coldly, then turned around and raised his legs, and walked towards the other room where the fish shop owner was held, and sure enough, he saw that there were only a few broken hemp ropes left on the chair.
He stepped forward to check the gap in the hemp rope, then looked at the broken porcelain on the table, and sneered, "He is smart enough to know that he broke the teacup." β
Moreover, being able to break the tea cup at night without realizing it, and cut the hemp rope little by little, shows that this person is really doing something.
Seeing this, Feng Bai regretted stomping his feet and said, "If I knew this, I should have stayed here and watched him." β
"No, just go." Baili Yunzheng stood up and looked out the window, "Now, let's go to the carpenter he said yesterday." β
A few people nodded, and immediately set off. Soon, they found the carpenter's house as the owner of the fish shop had said, but found it to have been burned down by a fire.
They looked at the mess in front of them and couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing.
"We're a step too late." Feng Bai gritted his teeth.
"Well, it looks like this fire was set last night." Baili Yunzheng said, touching the black ash on it, and he could feel that there was still a little residual temperature.
Li Chuxia lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe you can find some clues." β
As they spoke, they began to rummage through the ruins, and they could only find some scraps of wood, and they could not tell whether they had made a bow or arrow.
However, I found something else.
Li Chuxia suddenly stopped in one place, and looked at the place where his feet were stepping in a daze, "Yun Zheng, come and take a look." β
Baili Yunzheng hurriedly walked over, looked at the piece of ground that Li Chuxia was stepping on under his feet, and took a closer look, it turned out to be dried blood! His face changed, and he said coldly: "It seems that the owner of the fish shop did not lie to us, and this carpenter was also killed." β
Moreover, the Lang family did nothing else, not only killed people, but even burned the entire residence, it seems that it is impossible to find out anything from here.
Feng Bai gritted his teeth, "Damn! This Lang family is really more ruthless than I imagined. β
"If you are not ruthless, how can you make a career?" Baili Yunzheng said this, and he didn't know why, he looked in the direction of Lang Qi intentionally or unintentionally, as if he meant something.
Lang Qi caught a glimpse of Baili Yunzheng's gaze, just smiled, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.
At this time, Feng Bai suddenly remembered what Lang Qi said yesterday, and rushed forward, "Didn't you say that the Lang family was trapped?" And now? Not only did it not trap, but it also made us miss a great opportunity! β
