Chapter 1 Planted
Use two words to describe the Shanghai of the Republic of China this year - sophistry.
First of all, there was a snow just after the beginning of summer, and countless fish in the Huangpu River turned their bellies. Then there are rumors that there are zombies biting people at night and can't go out after eight o'clock.
Chen Xiaodonkey found himself a serious career as a watchman, and he was doing quite happily, but after the rumors spread, he took the bang to the street every night to fight the watch, and he was a little trembling.
It's better to say that the bustling place is full of people, but he patrols seven side streets, and in the past two years, he has pretended to be a ghost and has done a lot of things that damage yin morality, so he is even more worried when he is not in the shadow.
It was so hot and humid this night that Chen Xiaodonkey's neck was oozing sweat before going to work, but when it was time to take the guy and prepare to go out, he still endured it and put on his coat.
The smell of wet earth wafted in the air, and the faint whistling sound could be heard in the ears, which was a precursor to the arrival of heavy rain.
Of course, most people can't smell this smell, and they can't hear it, but Chen Xiaodonkey, who has a dog nose in his mother's womb and has an unusually sensitive ear, has this ability.
"It's a change - the weather is dry, be careful of the fire candles, the size of the movement, don't look back-"
The coat was put on his arm, and when he arrived at the place where he was about to start, he was already sweating. Chen Xiaodonkey began to beat the bangzi, with words in his mouth, and only walked forward on the interface where he couldn't see his five fingers, saying that he didn't dare to look back.
The long street is long.
The further he went, the more restless Chen Xiaodonkey became.
But the reason for the uneasiness is not only those rumors, but also another thing.
Just two days ago, someone stuffed an anonymous letter into the place where he lived.
The letter was simple, with just one sentence: 'In a few days, I will go to you.' But the two pictures that came with the letter made Chen Xiaodonkey's heart tremble, and even ruled out the idea that someone wanted to cheat him for the first time.
It was a palm-sized, white-toned five-sided jade plaque. It is surrounded by three dragons on the back, and the front is engraved with the strange word 'Taiping'.
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Order!
Chen Xiaodonkey walked forward absentmindedly, and the whistling sound he heard in his ears suddenly increased at a certain moment, and after only half a minute, the heavy rain poured down.
was caught off guard, Chen Xiaodonkey quickly ran to the nearest eaves and put on the thick coat, but even so, it was still half-wet from head to toe.
Bang dang!
Just as Chen Xiaodonkey was putting on his clothes, the card standing at the door of a store not far away suddenly fell to the ground.
"Who!?"
Chen Xiaodonkey was startled, and hurriedly looked up, and the corner of his eye seemed to catch a white shadow fluttering in the darkness.
The streets are pitch black, the rain is pouring down, and the wind is gusting.
No one answered.
Thinking of those legends again, Chen Xiaodonkey died on the spot.
Deflated calf, I shouldn't have bumped into something like a zombie evil that has recently appeared in Shanghai, right?
Chen Xiaodonkey swallowed his saliva, pulled out a dagger from the leather sheath tied around his waist, and held the hammer tightly in his other hand, and walked cautiously to the side of the card that fell to the ground.
"Zhang is useless, Zhang is useless, if you pit your brother this time, your brother will be a ghost, and I will pull you to ...... with you"
Thunderclap!
Lightning flashed, and the long and secluded street suddenly brightened up for a moment.
The dagger in Chen Xiaodonkey's hand reflected the light, and the cold white dagger body, from beginning to end, was painted with cinnabar with twisted and twisted unknown ghost-catching talismans.
On the wooden plaque that fell to the ground, two soaked cloth banners hanging from the second floor were dancing their teeth and claws in the storm, which was weird.
Chen Xiaodonkey approached and jumped forward sharply, and at the same time quickly kicked away the wide card that was lying on the ground on his side.
There is nothing in front of you!
"The wind blows down?"
Chen Xiaodonkey's mind relaxed slightly, but then he saw that there was a small rope tied to the triangular base frame on the card, the rope was very long, and it stretched to the side of the waterlogged ground to the side to the dark place beyond sight.
No, it was pulled down!
Hula!
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed from the corner of his eye, Chen Xiaodonkey's pupils shrank suddenly, and without hesitation, he immediately turned around and stabbed the dagger behind him.
However, a huge wooden rafter the size of a human head was oncoming.
Boom!
On the dark street of the storm, there was a muffled sound that was not very obvious, and Chen Xiaodonkey's consciousness was in chaos and he fainted.
……
Poof!
In the dimly lit warehouse, a basin of cold water was poured on the boy who was tied to a chair.
Chen Xiaodonkey woke up slowly, instinctively wanted to reach out and rub his painful head, but after moving twice, he found that he had been tied.
His eyes were confused and he barely looked around, and several men in Tsing Yi stood on both sides and looked at him curiously and fiercely, and on a Taishi chair opposite, there was a middle-aged man who looked a little familiar, wearing a Tang costume and playing with a string of Buddhist beads.
Deflated calf, so beautiful pulp, if you can get your hands on this string of red sandalwood Buddha beads, then you will make a lot of money!
His gaze lingered slightly on the rosewood Buddha beads, and then saw the gloomy face of the middle-aged man on the Taishi chair, Chen Xiaodonkey immediately realized that this did not seem to be the time to think about this.
What happened before, and the scene I see now, is obvious, I was tied up.
However, Chen Xiaodonkey was also single, and when he saw that the other party did not mean to speak first, he took the lead in speaking. But as soon as he spoke, he felt a hot pain in his throat, and his voice was hoarse.
"Big brother, did you tie up the wrong person? I'm just a dozen, I have no ability and no money, and I can't pay the ransom! ”
The middle-aged man's hands were slightly stunned, and on his already gloomy face, his eyebrows were suddenly twisted together, he stared at Chen Xiaodonkey, and said strangely: "Fighting?" Not capable? No money? ”
Chen Xiaodonkey immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"I'll fuck you!"
The middle-aged man suddenly became angry, got up suddenly, walked over, and kicked Chen Xiaodonkey and the chair to the ground with a fierce kick.
"Pull it up!" After a pause of two seconds, the middle-aged man spoke again, and the two subordinates immediately stepped forward to help Chen Xiaodonkey up.
Looking at Chen Xiaodonkey's painful panting, the expression on his face was slightly soothed, and he reached out and patted Chen Xiaodonkey's face, and said, "It seems that Master Chen is a noble person who forgets things and doesn't know me?" ”
Master Chen?
Hearing this title, Chen Xiaodonkey chuckled in his heart.
In the past two years, I have been abducted and deceived in Shanghai, don't those big dogs call themselves masters?
Sure enough, immediately after that, I heard the other party say gloomily: "Then I'll help Master Chen recall memories?" On the ninth day of September last year, Master Chen said that the feng shui of my house was not good to attract evil and cause disasters, and he took away a pair of imperial blue and white porcelain fired by the official kiln in Yangzhou in the year of Chongzhen. ”
Chen Xiaodonkey's face changed slightly, and he immediately remembered the name of the familiar guy in front of him, Zhao Nansong.
There are a lot of people in Shanghai in the past two years, but there are not many people who can make him remember his name, and this Zhao Nansong in front of him is one of them, because the impression left by the blue and white porcelain of the official kiln of Ming Chongzhen is too deep.
As soon as Cao Monkey sold on the black market, he sold it for a high price of 4,000 oceans, and the three of them were stunned for two days in the face of that huge sum of money.
It's planted! Chen Xiaodonkey's heart gradually sank, the other party can put on a posture of seeking revenge so obviously, it must be that everything has been clarified, and if he struggles to quibble at this time, it is estimated that it will not be as simple as being kicked.
"It turned out to be Boss Zhao, I didn't react just now, don't mind."
With a sharp turn of thought, Chen Xiaodonkey spit out bloody saliva, simply relaxed completely, and quietly waited for Zhao Nansong's next words.
The pit person must have the consciousness of being sought revenge, and Chen Xiaodonkey faintly has a feeling that after more than half a year, the other party can find himself out from the vast sea of people in the huge Shanghai, and it will definitely not be as simple as talking nonsense with himself.
And looking at Chen Xiaodonkey's unrelenting appearance, Zhao Nansong's anger that he finally calmed down had a tendency to erupt again, he really wanted to ignore it, and directly sank the bastard thing in front of him to the Huangpu River, but thinking of a pair of cold eyes, Zhao Nansong endured this evil breath and said sharply: "Chen Xiaodonkey, do you want to die or live?" If you want to die, there is no need for us to talk about it, there is the Huangpu River outside the door, and I will burn paper for you today next year. ”
As I guessed! Chen Xiaodonkey looked at the closed warehouse door behind Zhao Nansong in the dim light, and on both sides of him, grain bags were piled up.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Of course I want to live, what does Boss Zhao want to talk to me about?" ”
"That pair of Ming Qinghua." Zhao Nansong was concise and to the point.
Chen Xiaodonkey immediately shook his head and shouted, "Your pair of Ming Qinghua is no longer with me, and I don't know where they are, Boss Zhao, you are embarrassing me." ”
Zhao Nansong crossed the beads in his hand, sneered, did not answer Chen Xiaodonkey's question, and said to the subordinates next to him: "Bring people out." ”
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Zhao Nansong's gourd, Chen Xiaodonkey watched coldly, and his expression was slightly gloomy after a while.
