Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 86 The show is staged
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the gaps in the wooden planks on Tao Yaoyao's eyelids, and Tao Xiaoyao moved and suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay." Nightburn was gone, and she was already dressed in her old clothes.
"This guy doesn't know what." Tao Yaoyao complained on her lips, but her heart was full of sweetness, if it weren't for the sour numbness on her body, she really thought that last night was a spring dream she sat on.
"Huh?" Tao Yao raised his head, and there was a small sound at the door.
Who was it so early?
Tao Xiaoyao picked up the rope and wrapped it around a few times, leaning her back against the original stake, pretending not to wake up yet.
"Squeak-" The door opened slightly, and it seemed that a man had entered.
"It's okay, I wasn't discovered by the boss yesterday." Why is this sound so familiar?
"It's bad luck to bring this guy to this warehouse, huh! If it weren't for the money, Lao Tzu would have thrown you into the river to feed the fish! "Isn't that the voice of the thin man?
Tao Xiaoyao heard the sound of gentle movement nearby, and she quietly opened a slit in her eyes. Sure enough, she saw the side of the thin man, as if examining the salt bags.
Could it be that he is the inner ghost who has done bad things?
As the saying goes, a grain of mouse droppings spoils a pot of porridge, and that's the case. Tao Xiaoyao knew that she must not be found to be sleeping fakely at this moment, so she didn't look too much, and quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.
"This guy can really sleep, after today, you will sleep for the rest of your life!" Tao Yaoyao could feel the ill-intentioned words with her eyes closed.
In fact, the big man didn't seem to want to kill his mouth, it turned out that this guy was making trouble. Tao Yaoyao and the others went out, and it took a while to open their eyes after hearing the sound of the door closing.
"Xiao'er, this is your favorite jade cake." Tao Yaoyao was startled.
"You scared me, why are you on the roof? I thought you were gone! Tao said angrily.
"I—I'm not going to leave my child behind." Nightburn rolled down from the roof beams and handed her the pastry in his hand.
It's really intimate, she didn't eat yesterday afternoon until now, and there will be delicious pastries, and the peach is happy.
"Did you see that? The person just now was the third man's subordinate. Tao Xiaoyao said while eating.
"Well, I'm afraid the last time the Salt Gang happened because of his greed." Qing Ye Zhuo is the same as Tao Yao thought.
"If the guess is correct, the third child should not know what he did, but it's okay, if it weren't for his greed, how would we have found out about the problem with the Salt Gang." Tao Xiaoyao didn't pay much attention to it.
"In half an hour, they'll be trading at the docks." Qing Yezhuo went to check it out in the morning.
"So early? No wonder he ventured to check it out. Tao Xiaoyao suddenly realized.
"I've already arranged the rest, just leave it to me." Qing Yezhuo chuckled and rubbed her slightly messy hair.
"How could this show be without me!" Tao Xiaoxiao put down the pastry and protested.
"You! If you want me to take you how it is, it's good! "The night is full of pampering.
"Who are you!" Suddenly, the door to the warehouse was kicked open, and it was the thin man.
Qing Yezhuo came to him with lightning speed, and with a knife in his hand, the thin man fell to the ground.
"Scared twice in one morning." Tao Yaoyao also hurriedly ran over, saw that there was no one at the door, and immediately closed the door.
"Hey, hey!" Tao Xiaoyao poked the thin man.
"Y-who are you?" The thin man woke up and found that he was tied up by five flowers, and looked at Qing Yezhuo in horror and asked, this person's martial arts are much more powerful than him, of course he is afraid.
"You're not qualified to ask questions. Listen, if you dare to shout—" Peach pulled out the dagger hidden in his boot and compared it to his neck.
"Okay, the good man spares his life, the little one is just doing things on orders! It's not about small things. "What a greedy thing for life and afraid of death, Tao Xiaoyao looked at him with contempt.
"Okay, as long as you are obedient, this knife will not be in your stomach. Tell me, how many of you have here? Tao Xiaoyao looked at him and suddenly felt a little disgusted.
"Heroes spare their lives, we have about thirty people here." The thin man said with a smile.
"Just those people? Didn't you lie to me? ”
"The small ones don't dare to the small ones, we are a warehouse here, the location is remote, with fishing as a cover, no one can find out if it's not their own people, and it will make people strange if there are too many people." The thin man explained.
This method is indeed shrewd, and that big brother is not simple.
"When did you start making the voice of private salt?" Tao Yaoyao pondered for a while and asked in a low voice.
"Hero, I don't understand what you said." The thin man's eyes were flustered.
"Hehe, I don't admit it yet, I chopped off one of your hands to see if you still say it!"
"I'll do that too." Nightburn spoke on the side.
"Don't! I say, I say! When the thin man saw that the two of them were singing and harmonizing, it seemed that he was really going to chop off his hand, and he immediately let go.
"Wouldn't that be fine, let's talk." Tao Yaoyao said as she moved the dagger along his wrist.
"This business has been done since the beginning of this year, because the new monarch ascended the throne and the court was in turmoil, so I found this suitable opportunity." The thin man felt the sharp and cold touch of the dagger, and quickly said the answer that Tao Xiaoyao wanted to know.
Tao Yaoyao and Qing Yezhuo glanced at each other, this person was really not an ordinary person, he knew the affairs of the imperial court, and it seemed that the answer they guessed was a little closer.
"I've told you everything you want to know, let me go, or when my boss finds out that I'm not there, it's your time to die." The thin man was afraid that Tao Yao would really kill people, so he couldn't help but shout.
"You reminded me of that." Momo smiled a conspiratorial smile at Nightburn, who just pinched her cheek.
"What is this!" The thin man cried out in horror.
"It's called a gut-breaking pill." Tao Yaoyao took advantage of his shouting and threw a pill into his mouth.
"What?" The thin man's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
"You will soon feel a little sick in your stomach, if there is no antidote within three hours, your intestines will melt away one by one, you will bite off your tongue in pain, and finally your intestines will rot and die." Tao Xiaoyao said and made some movements.
"Nope! Hero, spare your life! "The thin man was about to cry out in fright.
"Okay, as long as you do one thing, I will naturally give you the antidote." Tao Yaoyao frowned.
"Okay, I can do anything."
"You ...... like that," Tao Yao whispered in his ear.
"This won't work! If the boss finds out, he'll kill me. The thin man quickly shook his head.
"Humph! Do you still have options? Do you think your eldest brother will let you go if he finds out that you are the ghost who eats inside and out! After Tao Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he shook out the bag of salt that the thin man had hidden.
"Y-How do you know?!"
"Don't care how I know, you know to do what I say, I will not only give you the antidote, but also give you a thousand taels of silver to let you fly away and live the rest of your life freely, as for your eldest brother, I will never find you." Tao Yaoyao tempted step by step.
"Good!" The thin man can only believe that the peach is dying, and there is no other way.
"By the way, how much do you know about your big brother?" Tao Xiaoyao asked.
"The eldest brother rarely comes, and every time he comes, he wears a mask, and only talks to the eldest and the second master, and we don't even know if he is a man or a woman." The thin man said embarrassedly.
"I see—" Tao Xiaoxiao whispered.
"Go ahead, you must do what I say, you will have a way to live." As soon as Tao Xiaoyao lifted the dagger, the rope was loosened.
"Don't worry!" The thin man was untied and quickly ran out.
"Yezhuo, why didn't you ask me to let him go so easily?" Tao Yao looked up after a while and asked.
"I believe in the child." Tao Yaoyao saw herself in the eyes of Qing Yezhuo.
"Nightburn." Tao Yaoyao called in a low voice.
"Huh?" Qing Ye sneered faintly.
"Last night, I thought the big brother's voice was familiar. Just now when the thin man talked about the mask, I remembered that his voice was the same as the voice of the man I heard in Luoyang. Tao Xiaoyao said with a frown.
"What does Yao'er mean is that this person and the person who colluded with Wei Jingcheng are the same person?" Qing Yezhuo also thought about it.
"Well, they're all masked, their whereabouts are mysterious and erratic, and their voices are pretty much the same." Tao Xiaoyao said, but she didn't have any evidence, just by feeling, although she couldn't hear clearly through the wall last night, the tone of the person's voice remained the same.
"You don't have to think about it, if it's that person, I will let him pay it back!" Qing Yezhuo lifted Momo's head with both hands.
"But I've always felt that it's not that simple—" Tao Yaoyao was distraught at the thought of these things.
"What did Yao'er eat with him, but it was really a gut-breaking pill?" Unwilling to see her continue to worry about the matter, she interrupted.
"How can there be any intestine breaking pills, that is a powerful laxative, he is a thief with a weak heart, thinking that others are the same people as him, and he just scares himself." Tao Yaoyao felt better when she thought about it.
"You-" Qing Yezhuo kissed the corner of her brow helplessly.
Tao Yaoyao's face turned red, she really didn't make a profit, would she still blush after so long? It is worthy of being a dog to be married for twenty-eight years.
"Let's go out first." Qing Ye Zhuo said, taking her hand.
"Good! Wait, my jade cake! "We can't understand the world of foodies.
"Third child, I've transferred all my people, there won't be any more accidents this time!" The second child came to the dock with more than 20 people.
"Humph! You're afraid you'll be robbed of that share. The big man frowned and said.
"What do you mean by that, I'm kind enough to help you." As long as the two get together, they will definitely quarrel.
"Boss, the ship has arrived!" The thin man ran over and said.
"Where did you go in the morning! No one after looking for a long time? Dahan asked.
"Boss, I drank too much last night, and I got up in the morning to have diarrhea." What he said is not all lies, diarrhea is real, but it is because of the pill that the peach is dying.
"Let's go."
