Chapter 136: It's all about searching
Huacheng gambling house picks up the treasure building.
A young man in his twenties was shaking the dice, and the dealer opposite was beading with sweat on his face.
The young man was dressed in a black suit, and his accent was not from an island, but his ruffian face looked quite difficult to bully.
It's been ten rounds, and if he wins again, he will definitely find someone to cripple this stranger's leg in the dark alley.
The tables were crowded with people watching the excitement.
At first, everyone was chasing the dealer to place bets, but now they are all on the side of the young people. In the bursts of applause, the dealer's face gradually turned into the color of pig liver.
"Win!! Thank you, Brother Rao. ”
The outcome of another game was decided, and the young man who was called Ah Rao raised his hand to roll up the coins on the gambling table, pushed them into a large bag, and threw a few for the people to watch the excitement, and prepared to go back.
The dealer wiped his sweat, turned his head, and motioned to a few strong men standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Those men understood, followed Ah Rao for a moment, and walked out pretending to be careless.
In a moment, one of the men fell limp into the casino.
The dealer hurriedly dragged him aside.
"How?"
"That kid is hard! We can't eat a few of us. ”
"What about the guys?"
"I'm lying in the alley, and I can't come back." The lame shivered, and he was grateful to Mazu Niangniang for saving him a life.
Ah Rao had already walked out of the alley, carrying not only the money he had earned, but also a lot of money from the guards. After getting so much silver, Ah Rao's mood was not easy.
This time, he came to the southeast island to look for an antidote, because the medicine was not found well, and in desperation, he went to various occasions to inquire about the news.
How to go on like this, although I make a lot of money, but it is not good to delay the master's illness.
He scratched his head at the thought of this, stood in front of his carriage, and stopped.
The curtain of the carriage was tightly covered, just like when he left, except for a foul fishy smell coming from the inside.
Ah Rao frowned, looked at the carriage and said coldly: "What kind of casino do you open if you are so stingy?" It seems that it's not enough to be stunned, you have to get a few lives before you can let this master go. ”
The breeze lifted the curtain of the carriage a small slit, and it was quiet inside, and there was no movement.
It's not like the style of a casino, either.
Could it be that in order to disgust him, he poured stinky mud into his carriage?
Simply, Ah Rao reached out and lifted the curtain.
In the depths of the carriage, there was a black-faced, stinking woman?
Look at the hair ornament should be female.
She looked outside with wide eyes, and saw Ah Rao open the curtain of the car, silently changed his sitting position to a kneeling position, and kowtowed firmly.
Ah Rao couldn't help but pinch his nose.
"." He said coldly: "Master, I don't have the kindness to let you take a ride." ”
"Please," the woman's voice was low, as if she was afraid of being heard, "just go to the ferry, I have the money, pay you twenty taels!" ”
For ordinary people, twenty taels is not a small amount. The woman in front of her was dirty, and she could barely tell that the true color of the clothes was good, and it was a cotton cloth of good texture.
Ah Rao frowned, wondering if she had so much money.
The woman had reached into her arms and pulled out two silver tickets. She carefully placed the silver ticket on the ground, pushed it forward gently, and showed Ah Rao the words on the silver ticket.
"You come out." Ah Rao's attitude is better, but he doesn't want to make this money.
This woman came strangely. Ah Rao often runs the rivers and lakes, and knows that some money cannot be earned, and once he earns it, there will be countless troubles coming to him.
The woman was stunned, her teeth biting a miserable white on her lips, and at last she stopped pleading and moved out of the carriage.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the alley, and a group of guard-like people walked quickly with knives and guns in their hands, shouting as they went: "Zheng Fu is assassinated!" Search for the suspect now! All the people involved will be killed, and those who dare to harbor the suspect will be guilty of the same crime! ”
As they walked, they used the spears in their hands to pick up the bamboo baskets and other debris piled up on the side of the road, and checked over inch by inch.
The figure in the carriage that was moving outward shrank suddenly.
Ah Rao's expression also became cold little by little.
Zheng Mansion.
There is only one flower city that can be called Zhengfu.
Zheng Fu was assassinated, and the person who could search the street on such a large scale must have died the most important person. Then this matter is something that even the imperial court should care about. And he happened to be from the imperial court.
Ah Rao no longer hesitated, stepped into the carriage, squeezed the shrunken body in the carriage, and raised the whip and shouted.
The carriage clattered forward.
"Hey! The car in front! Stop it! ”
The guards who were searching behind saw the movement of the carriage in front of them, and hurriedly ran over to this side.
The carriage stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ah Rao slowly lifted the curtain, blocked the woman behind him with his body, and said coldly.
The leader of the guards walked over quickly, patted the carriage, and said impatiently, "Didn't you see that the assassins were being hunted down?" ”
"I don't see it." Ah Rao answered.
"Hey, you! Get out of the wagon! The leader of the guard drew his sword and slammed the back of the knife on the board.
The corners of Ah Rao's mouth hooked, took out a waist card from his waist, and shook it in front of the face of the leader of the guards.
"On the orders of Lord Yan, the governor of Liangguang, search for pirates, and if they are intercepted, they will be killed."
The leader of the guard was shocked and respectfully took the waist card.
The waist card was upright and upright, but the leader of the guard looked at it for a long time. Finally, he took a step back and said: "We haven't seen this thing below, I don't know if it's true or not, little brother, I'm going to take it to Shangfeng to see, I don't know if little brother can wait." ”
"Go ahead." Ah Rao said lazily.
The leader of the guard hurriedly put away his sword and quickly ran away.
After half a cup of tea, the leader of the guards ran back, followed by a thoughtful-looking boss. The two respectfully returned the waist card and apologized repeatedly.
"Does this grown-up's carriage need to be cleaned up by the little ones? Maybe it was blown by the strong wind a few days ago, and there was a smell of sea. ”
"No need." Ah Rao took the waist card, looked around, and said lightly: "What happened to the Zheng Mansion?" ”
The boss of the guard wanted to gain favor with Ah Rao, so he put his hands together and said, "Our island master was assassinated. ”
There was a look of horror in his expression.
But Ah Rao just said "oh", his expression was cold, as if the island owner died or not had nothing to do with him at all.
"These things have been reported to the court by other people, so let's not bother." He lowered the curtain of the carriage, and did not even bother to say goodbye, so he raised his whip to urge the horse, and the carriage ran away with a "da-da".
The carriage stopped in a slightly deserted wooded area on the outskirts.
Ah Rao looked at the stinky woman with interest, and smiled: "I don't look like an assassin, so who can you say?" ”
The woman slowly knelt down, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stared at Ah Rao and said, "I beg your lord to report to the governor of Liangguang, and say that Zheng Xie, the second room of the Zheng family, betrayed the island lord and washed the Zheng Mansion in blood." ”
Ah Rao frowned, his gaze fell on the woman's eyes, and he looked away for a long time.
"The waist card is true, but I don't know the governor of Liangguang very well. I can report this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What do you think? ”
