Jianghu Chapter 18 The mountain rain is coming
Since the establishment of the mutual market supervisor, he has been cracking down on the underground black market, and now Hu Laoba, the black market leader who has been burdened with countless murders, has appeared in the mutual market of Wuli Street in the river valley, but it is also related to the Wang family that Hu Changyan told to pay special attention to, which makes Xu Yao very embarrassed, since Hu Laoba is related to the Wang family, saying that the people on both sides just sit down alone to drink a cup of tea and chat, I am afraid that no one will believe it, this matter has reached the ears of the governor, and he is afraid that a hat with poor supervision must be put on, but Xu Yao does not dare to suppress this matter, offending Hu Changyan is equivalent to offending the Jianfeng Pavilion, it is like stepping into the Yama Hall with half a foot, so after thinking for a while, let the catcher continue to keep an eye on Hu Laoba, and then hurriedly go out to report to Hu Changyan.
Here, Hu Changyan's chest was stuffy when he was blocked by Xu Xiaowan's two words on the street, and he didn't even drink hot tea when he returned to the inn, when he heard a hurried knock on the door, and the voice of one of the attendants came from outside the door: "Childe, Lord Xu Yao, the supervisor of the mutual market, asks to see someone with something important to report!"
Hu Changyan had a bad premonition in his heart for no reason, and said, "Please come in quickly!"
I saw the door opened, Xu Yao entered the house and walked two steps quickly, just wanted to salute Hu Changyan, but was interrupted by Hu Changyan: "No need to be polite, if there is anything important, quickly tell me to listen!"
Seeing this, Xu Yao was not informal, and told Hu Changyan about the matter that he had just reported to him from beginning to end.
After hearing this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hu Changyan's eyes, and he got up and took out a black sign from his arms and threw it to Xu Yao, saying: " This is the token of the Jianfeng Pavilion, hurry up and go back to tell you the magistrate, ask him to quickly transfer all the officials who can be transferred to secretly surround the inn where the Wang family is located, and then increase the elite to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Hu Laoba and the Wang family's servants and others, this Wang family colluded with a group of people on the black market, which just confirmed what I overheard at the beginning, Hu Laoba must still have the figure of Bei Mangzi behind him, keep an eye on me, once I find the clue, I will immediately start rounding up!"
Xu Yao took the token and said: "My lord doesn't know, this Hu Laoba has been wandering around the two places to do these underground black market transactions before the establishment of the mutual market supervisor, even after the establishment of the mutual market supervisor, it has never been able to cut down the grass and eradicate it, since Hu Laoba appeared in the valley Wuli Street, then his subordinates must also disguise themselves as caravans or civilians scattered in the city, if we don't fight quickly, it is very likely that Hu Laoba will get the news and run away immediately, and it will be difficult to do it at that time." ”
Hu Changyan frowned when he heard this and said, "What does Lord Xu mean?"
Xu Yao took a step forward, lowered his head and said softly: "According to what the lower officials can see, it is better to divide the troops into two ways now, one way to immediately and quickly encircle and suppress the Wang Inn, directly control the people in the inn, and send elites all the way to directly arrest Hu Lao Basan, now the mutual market has only been open for two days, unless they have a way to reach the sky, it is impossible to have transported weapons out of Wuli Street in the river valley!" As long as we seal the city gates, and then torture them to force them to tell who they are trading with, and then we will wipe out the remaining Beimangzi, then we will save a lot of trouble!"
Hu Changyan was originally afraid that he would arrest a good person by mistake, after all, the Wang family is also a famous family, and he will not be able to get off the stage when the time comes, but now no matter what, the Wang family has to bear the charge of colluding with the leader of the black market, even if he arrests the Wang family, he can't say anything, after thinking about it, he nodded at Xu Yao and said: "Without further ado, according to Lord Xu's method, I will send someone to control the inn where the Wang family is located now, and capture Hu Laoba alive!"
Xu Yao didn't dare to procrastinate, and hurriedly exited the room to go to the official mansion, Xu Yao knew in his heart that if it was really as Hu Changyan said, the Wang family and Hu Laoba really colluded to smuggle weapons to Bei Mangzi, then he would inevitably receive some punishment and even lose his official hat, but if this batch of weapons was transported out of Wuli Street in the river valley, then he would definitely die! So even if he let Bei Mangzi slip out of the city, it would be fine, and the Wang family and Hu Laoba must be caught first!
Thinking of this, the pace under his feet quickened by two steps, and there was already a carriage waiting at the door, Xu Yao hurriedly got into the car after going out and said, "Hurry!
________
After walking for a while, Hu Laoba noticed that something was wrong, this was an instinctive sense of smell sharpened by licking blood on the tip of the knife for many years, and he lowered his head and whispered to Jia Shaotai: "Go separately, pay attention to the surroundings, we seem to be being targeted." ”
Jia Shaotai was not surprised to say anything when he heard this, but said softly: "Okay." Then intentionally or unintentionally, he walked a few steps briskly, caught up with Ge Er, who was walking in front, and when he walked by Ge Er's side, he quickly said: "Go back and tell your young master, wait for our news, don't act rashly, as if you are being targeted by the government." ”
Ge Er will be complacent for his little cleverness, but Hu Laoba and Jia Shaotai will not, whether it is a horse bandit or a black market leader, if Hu Laoba hadn't been cautious all these years, he would have been arrested by the government and landed, so no matter when, Hu Laoba maintains a cautious heart, even if he temporarily stops trading, he can't take risks!
The tracking catcher knew that Hu Laoba was the most important of the three, and chose to follow Hu Laoba without weighing it.
After Hu Laoba and Jia Shaotai separated, they seemed to continue to walk forward casually, but in fact, they deliberately or unintentionally walked into some alleys, their ears pricked up to listen to the sounds around them, and when they passed around the corner, they deliberately slowed down and cautiously observed the surroundings.
One after the other, one after the other, one walk and one chase, catch as fast as possible and Hu Laoba distance, and have to ensure that Hu Laoba is always in his sight, after finding that Hu Laoba deliberately went to the alley, he secretly felt bad in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and followed, and kept leaving a special memory for catching fast along the way, only hoping that the brothers who went to ventilate and report the news could find themselves faster with reinforcements and take down this bandit!
Hu Laoba went around and around after all, he still found the catcher behind him, observed for a long time, saw that there was only one person, and muttered: "It's great if it's an official, and if you chase me Hu Laoba alone, you can't look down on people." ”
Hu Laoba muttered, and the pace under his feet suddenly increased by two steps, and he walked to the corner in front of him, and turned into another alley.
Seeing this, the catcher behind him immediately sped up a few steps, just walked to the corner, and before he turned around, he heard that a man with a short knife suddenly walked out of the other side of the corner, it was the gangster Hu Laoba who was chasing him, I saw Hu Laoba raise the short knife in his hand, and asked with a smile: "This official master, I don't know my Hu Laoba's head, how much money can I exchange for if I take it back?"
Catching Kuai secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he just wanted to draw the knife, but he felt a cold shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw that his right shoulder was empty, and a whole arm was broken on the ground and still bleeding out.
Hu Laoba cut off the right arm of the catcher with a knife, and then took a step forward and hugged the neck of the catcher, and the short knife was a knife at the stomach of the catcher.
The sharp blade pierced his body from the abdomen of the catcher, and the eyes of the catcher were round, he had heard of Hu Laoba's ruthlessness, and he also knew that many brothers died in the hands of this bandit, but he never thought that this Hu Laoba would be a killer in one face.
Hu Laoba touched the back of his head and said softly: "Master Guan, I Hu Laoba was afraid of seeing you as an official in the first half of my life, and I was so scared that my legs were swinging, and then I saw two big officials being stabbed in front of me, I am not afraid when I see you, you are not good, you should not chase me Hu Laoba, if you want to take revenge, you can only wait for me at the bottom." ”
After speaking, Hu Laoba suddenly pulled out the short knife that stabbed him in the abdomen, pushed his body forward, and fell straight to the ground, dying.
Hu Laoba took a large number of moments and saw that there was no one around, bent down to pick up the official hat that caught fast on the ground, wiped the blood on his hands, wiped the short knife in his hand, and then put the knife back into the scabbard in his arms, and then continued to leave casually and disappeared into the alley.
Killing people is a simpler thing than sleeping for Hu Laoba, especially the people who kill the official mansion, Hu Laoba has no waves in his heart.
Hu Laoba now knows the location of the Wang family's goods, and he was about to go out of the city with Ge Er just now, and now the most important thing for Hu Laoba is to contact his subordinates as soon as possible, and transfer the goods outside the city to Baoma Town, which is eight miles away from Hegu Wuli Street, since Hegu Wuli Street has been discovered by the government, he can only find a way to pass through Wolong Mountain, but it is much more dangerous.
In fact, Hu Laoba was ready to give these machines of the Wang family to the black from the beginning, only if he got these machines in his own hands and handed them over to Udi Tamu, he could have a higher status when he came to the north in the future, so now that he was discovered by the government, he didn't feel panicked at all, what did the life and death of the Wang family have to do with him Hu Laoba, if you want to blame, you can only blame him for the greed of the Wang family.
Hu Laoba walked through the alleys and alleys to a teahouse, which was ostensibly a shop open for business and tea, but in fact a contact point used by the black market to convey news.
Hu Laoba walked straight to the backyard, came to the door of the south house, and knocked on the door twice.
The people inside shouted, "Is it raining outside?"
Hu Laoba said in a low voice: "The water in the lake rose in a few days. ”
This is a unique black language in Hu Laoba's black market, and the door of the house slowly opened after Hu Laoba finished speaking, and Hu Laoba flashed in.
Several young men got up one after another and said, "Eighth Master!"
Hu Laoba walked to the cabinet in the house, opened the cabinet and took out a new set of clothes, and said: "I was targeted by the people of the Yamen, and it is likely that the matter with the Wang family has also been discovered, so quickly contact all the brothers to go out of the city, take the good guys, go out of the city and walk three miles to the south, and when I saw the caravan of the Wang family, I killed them all, and went to Baoma Town with the goods to wait for me and Master Jia." ”
When the young men heard this, they left the teahouse and passed the news to the brothers scattered in and out of the city.
Today is not destined to be a peaceful day.
