Chapter 26 Inquiry
"I also heard that this Sun Da Leader hates corrupt officials the most, as long as there are corrupt officials who pass down his mountain, he will definitely not let go, is it true?" Li Xiaoqi smiled and then curious, Jiang Shuncai blinked his eyes, looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled, and opened the dog's mouth to grin even bigger: "Fifth Master, who is this listening to?" Nonsense! I've grown so big, I've never heard of a mountain bandit who dares to go against the officials! No matter how powerful the leader of Sun is, he doesn't dare to face the Shangguan family! β
"I've heard of it! Have you heard of it? Li Xiaoqi affirmed very seriously, turned his head to look at Jiang Shuncai and asked, Jiang Shuncai shook his head while smiling: "Who did the fifth master listen to?" If Leader Sun really dares to rob officials, can he stay in Beacon Dongshan well? I have already been copied from the old nest, there are so many soldiers in Zhengcheng! β
Li Zonggui replaced Wei Shuisheng and pushed the car, Wei Shuisheng turned his head and looked at the Beacon Dongshan from a distance, this matter has to be cautious and cautious, but you can't offend the Beacon Dongshan, Leader Sun doesn't dare to offend the officials, but he can bully them, these novices, he will definitely not be soft-hearted.
A few people entered the city and rested at the big car shop closest to the city gate, Li Xiaoqi called Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai, and one of them handed over twenty big coins and ordered: "You two go separately to inquire, three things, one, how many dart shops are there in this Zhengcheng, what is the font size, and where is the total number?" What is the origin of the house; Second, there are a few lines, a few regiments, and a few works in this Zhengcheng, who is the head, whether there is a market, and where is the market. β
"Fifth master, what is the head of the market?" Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai blinked their eyes and asked, Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a while, what she knew as an authentic outsider, these two local local goods didn't know, Li Zonggui smiled and explained for the two: "They are all countrymen, how do you know the rules in this city, don't we often see those from the countryside in β’β’β’β’β’β’, and they move chopsticks when they see the food coming up?" You should be patient and teach them, and only then can they do things clearly. β
Li Xiaoqi sighed helplessly, looked at the two of them and asked, "What is okay, do you know?" β
"Know! I heard my father say that there is a wine shop, and there is a charcoal shop, and this wine workshop and charcoal kiln go into the city to sell wine and charcoal, and you have to report to the bank first, and pay the money before you can go out to sell. Jiang Shuncai hurriedly explained, Zhang Gouzi nodded like a worm, listening to Jiang Shuncai's words and nodded, Li Xiaoqi pressed his finger against Zhang Gouzi's forehead: "One point is enough, if you don't get dizzy, I look dizzy!" What about the group? β
"That's it! The year before last my brother married his sister-in-law, I went into the city with my father to buy a fish, in the fish market, bought fish, to weigh in the group, I have a distant cousin, with someone as a gold and silversmith, they also have a guild, called, gold and silver plating, I heard him say once when I was a child! Jiang Shuncai said smoothly in one breath.
Li Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction and explained carefully: "Listen up, those who are called lines are all those who have passed the official road, and those who are in the line are all names prepared in the official mansion, and they can barely be regarded as having a little official body!" This is as easy to inquire about, it must be known to everyone, the group and the work, but it can't be with the government, it is all the government's business, this group head, the head, or everyone pushes it out, but there are not many of them, most of them are occupied by the head snake to collect money, such as the fish ball you said, the fish seller sold the fish, and he had to pay the money, you two went to inquire carefully, in this Zheng City, there are a few lines, a few groups and a few works, who is the head, as for the head of the city, the place where the fish was called just now is the head of the fish group, There are also Qingguo groups, such as this, the market is in the market, and it sounds easy, and there are some, like those gold and silver plating, belts, and grate blades, all of which are small craftsmen who walk the streets and alleys. β
Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi looked up at Li Xiaoqi with admiration on their faces, they five masters, they know a lot!
"The third thing to inquire about is to ask how many tiles there are in this Zhengcheng, which one of them is famous, whether it is a small song, illusion, or miscellaneous drama, and which is the most popular prostitute, okay, just inquire about these first, remember, inquire quietly, don't catch people stupidly asking, this inquiry, can it make people feel that you are inquiring about things, understand?" Li Xiaoqi continued to explain, Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai nodded together: "I understand, what the fifth master means, is to inquire or not to inquire, it is said casually!" β
Li Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Sure enough, I understand, just make sense!" My provocative eye is really not bad! β
"That's that!" Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi said extremely dog-legged flattery, Wei Shuisheng and Li Zonggui shook their heads while laughing, Li Xiaoqi waved his hand: "Since you understand, go quickly, two hours later, no matter how much you ask, you have to go back to this big car shop, it's too late, but it's not too early, follow the fifth master and I to do things, what time must be what time, half a point can't be wrong!" Do you hear that? β
"Fifth master, rest assured!" The two agreed, carefully collected the money, turned around and walked aside, and went to work.
Wei Shuisheng put his hands behind his back and watched the two of them walk away, and then together with Li Xiaoqi and Li Zonggui, he looked for a few second-hand clothes shops and bought cotton clothes and bedding for everyone.
The three of them ran all over the Zhengcheng second-hand clothes shops, bought all the cotton clothes and bedding, returned to the big car shop to tie them up, and just sat down to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi buckled the hour and returned to the big car shop one after the other.
Li Xiaoqi listened intently to the letter from the two of them, turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, and said with a hint of pride: "I'll just say, in such a place, the big caravans that come and go are all passing by, how can there be a dart master here?" There must not be many darts in this line, sure enough, just this one, the general number is still in Xinyang Mansion, but it is a small semicolon. β
Wei Shuisheng smiled and didn't answer, only signaled to Li Xiaoyi: "Hurry up and explain, we have to hurry back, it's not early." β
Li Xiaoqi turned to look at Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi and ordered: "You two don't have to go back with you, just stay in this Zhengcheng, I will give you twenty big money each day, this is tomorrow, the day after tomorrow's money, you two will go to this big car shop at noon, and I will send someone to send you money every day." β
Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi inexplicably look at me, I look at you, and then turned their heads to look at Li Xiaoqi together, waiting for her to give orders, Li Xiaoqi looked left and right quietly, and then confessed: "You two, just look at that dart shop, from tomorrow, the dart shop takes a few businesses every day, who entrusts it, where to go, you have to inquire and understand, from noon the day after tomorrow, every day to say to the person who brings money to you, remember, only say two things: who's home, where, next to it, can't say more than a word, who says one more word, Fifth master, I will deduct a lot of money from whom! Got it? β
"Tomorrowβ’β’β’β’β’β’ understood!" Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi shrunk their necks and replied with a bitter face, Li Xiaoyi's heart moved slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "That time, you were all over the mountain, is this dart shop?" β
"Hey! It's Xinyang β’β’β’β’β’β’ General Number, Fifth Master, look at β’β’β’β’β’β’" Jiang Shuncai timidly looked at Li Xiaoqi who was about to ask down, Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to stop his words, bent his eyes and smiled so that Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi's eyes were dazzling, Li Xiaoqi laughed for a while, and said slowly: "That's right!" It's a rare opportunity, after this scene, you two may be able to look a little bit, listen up! Even so, I don't need to explain more, this job, you should also understand very well, if the dart line finds out, hehe. β
Li Xiaoqi looked at Zhang Gouzi and then at Jiang Shuncai, and was silent for a moment before continuing: "You are waiting to go to prison, maybe you will be killed!" Don't point to the fifth master to save you, firstly, the fifth master does not save the stupid, and secondly, the fifth master just wants to save you, and he doesn't have that ability. β
Li Zonggui turned his head, shrugged his shoulders and laughed, Wei Shuisheng looked at Jiang Shuncai and Zhang Gouzi with bitter faces, and said gently: "You haven't met with them, and besides, it's the general number dart master, as long as you are careful, there is nothing to do, doing this spy thing, is to be careful, this trip is not a big risk, as long as you are careful, it will be no big deal." β
Jiang Shuncai's eyes widened wider and wider, swallowed his saliva, glared at Wei Shuisheng, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Gouzi, who was staring at him with round eyes like himself, to do espionage! This is to do espionage! The two of them are doing espionage!
"With their idea, can it still be called a spy? It's not shameful enough! Li Xiaoqi looked at the two people who were staring at each other, and said disdainfully: "You two, a little outstanding!" Don't embarrass me for the fifth master! β
Jiang Shuncai swallowed his saliva again, kept nodding, Zhang Gouzi subconsciously turned his head to look left and right, as if he wanted to run away, Li Xiaoqi reached out and hit Zhang Gouzi's head hard, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What do you see?!" β
Zhang Gouzi immediately looked at Li Xiaoqi intently, Li Xiaoqi exhaled hatefully, smiled, slowly squinted his eyes, stretched out his index finger, and gently swiped Zhang Gouzi's neck artery with a long nail, his voice was light and gloomy, and he said in a low threat: "Since you follow the fifth master, you will follow it with all your heart, if you are wrong, the master will β’β’β’β’β’β’ dry your blood." β
Zhang Gouzi was stiff and didn't dare to move, as if Li Xiaoqi was not using nails, but extremely sharp blades, Jiang Shuncai looked at Li Xiaoqi, who was extremely cold in a blink of an eye, and kept swallowing saliva in horror, and promised continuously: "Fifth master, master, don't worry, don't dare, don't dare." β
Li Xiaoqi retracted his hand, bent his eyes, smiled like a spring breeze, pointed to the cotton clothes and pants and two pairs of shoes on the stool next to him, and said gently: "This is the winter clothes of the two of you, as well as shoes, change them, food and accommodation in this city are expensive, twenty dollars is not much, calculate and use it, and if there is a big event, just tell the person who sent the money, I want to see the fifth master, do you hear?" β
