Chapter II: Means
"Boss Zhao, you are really well prepared."
"Don't dare to compare with Master Chen." Zhao Nansong smiled but didn't smile.
The two people who were brought out from behind the grain pile by Zhao Nansong's subordinates, one fat and one thin, their mouths were blocked, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their bodies were scarred.
The fat hair is slightly long, and a pair of eyes seem to be glancing at any time, and from time to time he grins because of the pulling of the injury, and looks very dishonest. The thin one had a calm expression and a straight spine, and was pushed all the way out to see Chen Xiaodonkey, and nodded very calmly.
Zhao Nansong waved his hand slightly, and the strip of cloth that blocked the mouths of the two was taken off, and the fat one immediately called out, "Little donkey, why are you also caught, I grass!" It's over, it's over, it's all gone! The surname is Zhao, what kind of ability is the yin person behind your dog's day? If you have the ability to let the master out, if you can still find me, I will let your son follow my surname Cao! ”
It is natural for Cao Hou to be cheap, but Chen Xiaodonkey didn't expect that he would be able to be cheap at this time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Syllable!
In the next second, a short whip dipped in water made Cao Hou scream with a whistling sound, and his mouth was immediately re-plugged.
Zhang Wat still looked calm as if nothing could surprise him, and said in a flat tone: "Zhibai, you are here too." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, he was used to Zhang Wuyong's appearance for a long time, just like his ears could automatically filter Cao Monkey's cheap mouth, looking at the bloody whip marks on the two of them, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Cao Hou 'woo' responded, and Zhang Wat said: "If you have a small injury, you should worship God." ”
"I love to hear what Daochang Zhang says." Zhao Nansong smiled at the beads, followed as if taking inventory, and said: "Master Chen, little donkey is a nickname, and Zhibai is a big name, right." Cao Hou, Cao Monkey, an expert in sliding doors and picking locks and drilling dog holes. Zhang Daochang, whose real name is Zhang Wat, don't use the word, look at it, the name of you three little bastards is more particular than the other. ”
Chen Xiaodonkey glanced at Zhao Nansong deeply, and said, "Boss Zhao, I took the pair of Ming Qinghua in the end, even I don't know where they are now, what's the use of you arresting them?" ”
"Master Chen is in a hurry? Well, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. Zhao Nansong said: "That pair of Ming Qinghua is now in the hands of Master Li, I invited the three of them, that is, for this matter, to give you half a month, I don't care what method you use, half a month later, put the pair of Ming Qinghua in front of me, our previous grievances are written off, how about it?" ”
Master Lee?
Chen Xiaodonkey was slightly stunned when he heard this name, and immediately a wave of 'Is this too coincidental?' Zhang Hu, who always looked calm, raised his eyebrows at this time, and Cao Hou, who had not been quiet even if his mouth was blocked, suddenly calmed down.
Is it the big dog Li Mingshi they are going to do next?
The three exchanged glances, and Chen Xiaodonkey said to Zhao Nansong: "The boss of Shanghai Li's Pharmaceutical Factory? ”
Zhao Nansong said: "That's right. ”
Chen Xiaodonkey squinted his eyes and groaned slightly, "Yes." ”
"Okay, those three can go now." Zhao Nansong was simply unexpected, and as his words fell, the ropes on the three of them were also untied.
But Chen Xiaodonkey did not leave immediately, but sat on the chair and looked at each other calmly, Cao Hou and Zhang Hu stood in place, moving their stiff bodies that had been tied up for a long time, and they had no intention of leaving.
It's all old rivers and lakes, who would believe that there is such a simple thing?
"How?" Zhao Nansong raised his eyebrows.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Ming people don't say dark words, Boss Zhao is not afraid that if we walk out of this door today, we will not be able to see each other for the rest of our lives?" ”
"So?" Zhao Nansong seemed to suddenly realize, and immediately crossed the beads and smiled like Maitreya, looking at Cao Hou and Zhang Hu, "Heh, look at my memory, I almost forgot this stubble." Brother Cao has an old lady in the family, and her legs and feet are not very good, and Zhang Xiaodao has a blind master, right? ”
Zhang Wat was silent.
"The surname Zhao is not a disaster for the family, what do you mean!?" When Cao Hou heard this, he was immediately angry.
Zhao Nansong said lightly: "It's not interesting, I just want to tell the two of you that you can't find your respective elders when you go back, don't worry, they will live well with me." ”
Cao Hou still wanted to argue, but Chen Xiaodonkey grabbed him and said to Zhao Nansong: "Boss Zhao has good means, and our brothers admit it." ”
When the three of them left the warehouse under the watchful eye of Zhao Nansong, it was not yet dawn.
At night, a heavy rain came and went quickly, and there were no lights on the dimly lit wharf by the Huangpu River.
Chen Xiaodonkey's thick coat and dagger fell in Zhao Nansong's warehouse, but neither of them was valuable, looking at the whip marks on Zhang Wat and Cao Hou's bodies, he wanted to pull the two to the hospital to apply medicine, but the anxious Cao Hou insisted on going home to see it first, saying what if the one surnamed Zhao was just cheating them?
The three of them went to Cao Hou's house as fast as they could, and there was no one in the remote courtyard of the suburban village, and then they went to the tattered Taoist temple where Zhang Hu's blind master settled, and no one was there.
However, Zhang Wat knew some wild methods, and there happened to be herbs in the Taoist temple, so he smashed them and put them on Cao Hou and himself.
Cao Hou grinned in pain during the dressing process, but he rarely didn't scream, but the green tendons on his head burst out. And Zhang Hut, if he couldn't see the sweat oozing from his head, it might make people wonder if he didn't feel pain?
"This medicine is very strong, so the place where the medicine is applied today will be extremely itchy, don't scratch it, the wound will heal tomorrow." After Zhang Wat finished applying the medicine to himself, he admonished Cao Hou.
Cao Hou nodded and said to him, "It's useless, aren't you worried about your master at all?" ”
"Worried." Zhang Wat said: "But it's useless to worry. ”
I can't talk about it this day! Cao Hou was speechless.
It didn't take long for the herbs to take effect, Zhang Wat meditated on his knees for the first time to calm himself, Cao Hou's uncomfortable face was distorted and kept humming and chirping, Chen Xiaodonkey was upset by this noise, so he simply sat outside the main hall, looking at the gradually brightening sky and drooping his eyes.
On the way over, he had already exchanged information with Cao Monkey and Zhang Wuyun.
Cao Monkey was set up by Zhao Nansong on the street at noon yesterday, and the other party knew that he loved to steal, so he used a gold-inlaid pocket watch that looked worth a lot of money to lure him into the urn, and when he reacted wrong, he was already blocked in a dead end by Zhao Nansong's people.
And Zhang didn't use the time to get into the trick earlier than Cao Monkey. Early yesterday morning, a woman came to this Taoist temple and said that a close relative in the family had passed away and asked him to do a ritual to overdo it, but when she walked halfway down the road, she put a gun on her head.
But Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't figure it out.
Although Cao Monkey's hand is not small, but he has a big heart, it is understandable that he set up a pit for Zhao Nansong and didn't find out, but Zhang, who is the most powerful of the three of them, is useless, and he bluntly said that he can't beat that woman, which is a bit paradoxical.
Thinking that he was attacked last night, he didn't hear the footsteps or smell the human smell, and he was stunned without even seeing the figure clearly.
He, Zhao Nansong, a small businessman who sells grain in Shanghai who can't even make a name for himself, how can there be such a capable person around him? And Shanghai has a population of several million, how were they found one by one?
Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't find an answer. Immediately, he thought of the nameless letter and the Taiping Order that made him uneasy, but this was his own business, and he didn't plan to tell Cao Hou and Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hut's herbs were really fierce, and he and Cao Hou tortured him and Cao Hou for a whole day, until it was dark again, and the medicine strength barely passed, at this time Cao Hou's face was pale and unspeakable, and people looked like they had lost a whole circle.
He came out of the hall and saw Chen Xiaodonkey sitting on the steps with his head bowed, so he sat down with a scolding and scolding, and said, "Little donkey, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey pointed to a few things in front of him, a thick robe, a dagger, a peachwood sword, and a folded yellow cloth yin and yang gossip diagram.
"Zhao Nansong asked someone to send it."
The first two are his things, and the last two are the things that Taoist priests do.
"Send it, send it----" Cao Hou opened his mouth indifferently, and suddenly understood halfway through his words, and said with a glare: "Holy shit, that old bastard is spying on us?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded, this is the lice on the bald man's head, obviously.
He said quietly, "We have fourteen days left. ”
