Chapter 193: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Yi Chenjing did not hide the matter of hurting people, when Boss Hai heard the bustard mention and came to ask, Yi Chenjing admitted very calmly - he didn't think he had anything wrong, but felt that it was already very merciful to only break the person's finger and kick the lake, if it wasn't for the situation, he would have to torture to death to relieve his hatred.
"I can understand Brother Chen's feelings, but this matter has indeed gone too far, and now I can't keep you anymore." With a helpless sigh, Boss Hai shook his head.
Ye Huawan was anxious, and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction when she heard Boss Hai's eviction order: "Aunt Qingxu also said that you are not afraid of things and are very reliable, it turns out that you are also a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" If you hurt a hooligan, you're afraid of becoming like this, and what kind of righteousness do you say, if you don't stay, you won't stay, can't we go? It's just that when I see Aunt Qingxu in the future, don't blame me for not saying good things! β
Boss Hai smiled bitterly and bowed to Ye Huawan: "Master Ye, it's not that I don't want to help, do you know who Brother Chen hurts?" That's the personal disciple of the Crane Thunder Hall Master! Ordinary people will fight it, at most I will contribute some money to dredge up the dots, but the closure of the city must have the participation of Heleitang...... To put it mildly, Master Ye Zhuang and Brother Fu refused to tell me the identity of Brother Chen, but I could see that the government and Helei Hall were coming for you. Seeing that Ye Huawan was embarrassed to shut up, the gentle owner of Xianglou sighed again: "Lord Ye Zhuang's words are chilling, since I am entrusted by Qiao Woman, how can I drive a few people away because I am afraid of power?" I'm afraid that person has already recognized Brother Chen and the white girl, what if he brings the government or Helei Hall to arrest someone? β
In all fairness, without asking a word, he hid people he didn't know and treated them well, what Boss Hai did was already benevolent and righteous, and Ye Huawan's accusation was indeed a bit excessive. Bai Qige patted Ye Huawan on the shoulder, and nodded to Boss Hai to thank him: "This matter is because Chen Jing and I are too impulsive and inconsiderate, I just hope that I won't be involved in painting Xianglou, otherwise I will be at ease." β
"Don't talk about this yet, for the sake of safety, I have to send you outside the building first, and tomorrow I will find someone to go to the government to do some trouble, see if I can break the fortune and avoid disasters, and find a way to secretly send you out of the city gate."
Ye Huawan knew that she was speechless, stuck out her tongue and apologized to Boss Hai seriously, and then pulled Fu Chu's sleeves with a blank expression: "Senior brother, someone at the city gate can't get out, and you can't continue to stay in Xianglou, so where are we going?" β
"You can't even contact anyone else, so who can I find?" Fu Chu shook his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke a little discouraged, "Although there are many people I know, there are very few credible ones, it seems that I can only sleep in the open tonight - Brother Chen, Sister Bai, you are going to be wronged all night." β
Crane Lei Tang has a wide range of people, ears and eyes are everywhere, but it is not enough to even find places that are inaccessible, Fu Chu's plan is to go to the remote streets and alleys on the edge of the city to hide temporarily, and wait for Boss Hai to buy the required items and replace the horses and open up contacts before sneaking out of the city. It's better to be bitter than to be found to catch turtles in an urn.
Fu Chu just wanted to open his mouth to say his thoughts, but suddenly there was a noisy voice outside, Boss Hai's face turned pale, and he hurriedly walked out of the room: "I don't know if it's from the government or Helei Hall...... Hurry up and pack your things, I'll go to the front and try to block it, don't come out. β
After finishing speaking, Boss Hai left in a hurry, and only a few people were left uneasy behind the closed door.
The front hall of the most lively painting Xianglou on weekdays is silent at the moment, and the boss guessed that the situation was not good before entering the door, but he could only pretend to be calm and step into the front hall with the corner of his clothes.
The guests in the hall had long since dispersed, the sweet potatoes and fruits were in disarray, the tables and chairs were overturned, and a few timid girls hid behind the old bustard and trembled and did not dare to make a sound, and their eyes invariably looked at the man sitting leisurely in the center of the hall. The man was about forty years old, and his finely crafted outfit showed extraordinary style, and when he saw Boss Hai approaching, he only raised his eyelids, picked up the teacup and sipped lightly, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet him.
Boss Hai took a deep breath and forced his composure with a smiling face: "Isn't this Hall Master Qiao?" Why do you have time to come to my messy place today? But which unseemly girl in the building offended your faction? β
"Boss Hai is a cheerful person, and it's not interesting to talk around in circles. Let's put it bluntly, I'm here to find two people, Boss Hai will hand over the people and I will leave immediately, and it will not affect the business of Xianglou. Although Qiao Zhaohai's tone was an understatement, the threat in his words was very explicit, and his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at Boss Hai.
"Qiao Tang is mainly looking for people, Hai will naturally not stop him, but I don't know who he is looking for?"
"A man and a woman."
"That's difficult, Hall Master Qiao, you see, my painting Xianglou is sent to usher every day, and the people who are waiting are all girls, and those who are waiting are benefactors, which pair is not a man and a woman?" Boss Hai smiled quietly, "It's better to be like this, Hall Master Qiao told me in detail, and I'll send it to you when I find out who I'm looking for one by oneββ"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Zhaohai waving his hand.
The more than ten people who were standing behind Qiao Zhaohai scattered, and it seemed that they were going to start a search, Boss Hai gasped, and his eyebrows were furrowed: "Hall Master Qiao, as for the crowd like this?" β
Qiao Zhaohai slanted the corners of his mouth and sneered: "You know very well who I want to find, don't go around in circles with me, it's not good for you." I know that Boss Hai has a good relationship with Lingxi, but this is Wanning Mansion, which belongs to the territory of Helei Hall, and no matter how capable she is, Qiao Qingxu can't control me here. β
Boss Hai's face was like ashes, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest, but all he could do was to stand in place and watch Qiao Zhaohai's subordinates search the backyard.
The strong dragon can't fight the head snake, not to mention that he is just a small person on the rivers and lakes, Qiao Zhaohai, who has the official mansion on his head, wants to search the painting Xianglou inside and out, and he can't stop it at all. In fact, he is not afraid of being an enemy of Qiao Zhaohai, he is afraid that Yi Chenjing and others will be caught, if those people have three longs and two shorts, how will he think of Qiao Qingxu to explain?
Seeing someone walking in the direction of the back building where Yi Chenjing lived, Boss Hai subconsciously took a step forward and followed, realizing that it was too late when his actions might be exposed, Qiao Zhaohai, who had vicious eyes, looked in the direction of his gaze, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened.
Walking to the only closed door on the second floor, Qiao Zhaohai smiled meaningfully, listening carefully to the fact that there seemed to be no one in the room, and couldn't help frowning.
"This is the guest's room......" Boss Hai hurriedly disguised.
"Since it's a guest stay, it's not good to break in suddenly." Qiao Zhaohai shook his head regretfully, and the hand that was about to touch the door panel was withdrawn into his sleeve, "Boss Hai, there is no person I am looking for hidden in it, right?" β
"How? There are guests from other places living in it, and last night I played with the girl in the building until late at night, and now I am resting, so I don't think I need to care about him. Seeing that Qiao Zhaohai was showing signs of giving up, Boss Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief - this room was on the second floor and there was no back door, Yi Chenjing and the others had nowhere to hide if they wanted to, and they would be seen when they opened the door.
Qiao Zhaohai nodded thoughtfully, put his hands behind his back, and turned around sharply at the moment when Boss Hai turned around and planned to leave together, raised his foot and kicked it hard.
With a click, the latch of the door snapped from it, and the unrestrained elm door instantly opened, revealing a full view of the people and things in the house.
It's over, it's been discovered. Boss Hai's eyes were dark and he almost fainted, but he heard a pleasant and clear voice faintly: "The people in Wanning Mansion are so rude, do you have to kick when you knock on the door?" It's really an eye-opener. β
Qiao Zhaohai's expected smug laughter did not sound, and Boss Hai hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see a young man with blue eyes and light hair sitting at the table slowly shaking the folding fan, and there was no one else in the room except him.
What about people? Boss Hai was dumbfounded.
"Who are you?" didn't find the target, Qiao Zhaohai was furious, his face was black and smelly.
"Merchants, all goods in the world are sold. Are you going to buy it? If you want to buy it, go outside and find a truck that is guarded by an old man, I don't sell it here, and I charge you a high price for selling it. Rather than being drunk, he looked at the people at the door with a smile.
"What kind of mess?" Waving his hand irritably, Qiao Zhaohai lowered his face to the person who came back from the search, "What about the people, have you found it?" β
A few of his subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, shook their heads and looked cautious: "Back to the hall master, I have searched everywhere, and there is no suspicious person......"
Qiao Zhaohai's surface was cloudy and sunny, and he stood in place for a long time without moving. According to the disciple's description, the man and woman who hurt people today should be the Seventh Prince and his princess, there is no doubt that he thinks that the speed of coming is fast enough, and the other party should not have time to escape, so it seems that he is still a step slower. The boss of this painting Xianglou is a well-known heroine Qiao Qingxu on the rivers and lakes, although Heleitang has the support of the government and is not afraid, but if you get nothing, you have to tear your face, and the two sides are hostile after all, there is no benefit.
With a cold snort, Qiao Zhaohai turned around and left, a group of subordinates behind him didn't dare to ask a word, and the bustard girl and girl who painted Xianglou were also silent, until the figures disappeared completely, and then slowly there was a sobbing sound.
Boss Hai turned to look at Ning Xidrunk, his eyes were full of surprise and confusion: "They ......"
Ning Xidrunk put down the folding fan and pointed to the window behind him, so he poured tea and smelled the fragrance, and his indifferent performance contrasted strongly with the frightened and uncertain Boss Hai.
Hurriedly opened the window, and a figure jumped into the room, Boss Hai was startled, and looked fixedly, it was Yi Chenjing who Qiao Zhaohai searched for without success. Leaning against the wall weakly to wipe away the cold sweat, Boss Hai's voice was almost **: "I don't have to live if I toss like this twice, and I'm scared to death." β
Yi Chenjing kept a calm face and didn't speak, turned around and helped Bai Qige, who showed half of his head, into the room, followed by Ye Huawan and Fu Chu, and the room was filled again in the blink of an eye.
"Fortunately, there is a half-foot-wide stone platform outside the window for us to stand against the wall, otherwise we would have to jump down and fight a bloody path." Fu Chu also had palpitations, and the palm holding Ye Huawan was full of sweat, "Qiao Zhaohai reacted so quickly, he could bring someone here in such a short time, and then we had to be more careful." β
"What's after that? You don't know Qiao Zhaohai, don't look at him now, when you understand your little trick, you will definitely return immediately. Without further ado, you will leave with me through the back door immediately, and the painting Xianglou can no longer be hidden! β
It's just been a night's rest, and you're going to leave so soon to run away? Bai Qige looked at Ye Huawan apologetically, the frustration and loss that flashed in the little girl's eyes made people feel pity, but the situation forced her to let Ye Huawan rest more often would not work, since she had chosen this path, she could only grit her teeth and go to the end.
"Let's go." Bai Qige turned his wrist, the short sword was not in his sleeve, and his movements were more chic and neat than the man, and he looked at Ye Huawan's face full of worship.
Yi Chenjing suddenly had a sense of crisis - if Bai Qige didn't have that scar on her face, if she also had a prominent identity and lofty status, would all men and women in the world come to compete with him? If that's the case......
Shrugging his shoulders, the Seven Princes of Da Yao showed an inexplicable strange smile.
Whoever robs it, kills it.
