Chapter 175: Left-handed to right-handed business
I saw that behind the door, the lights were bright.
The sound of bustle and noise kept ringing.
There are even people passing behind the door all the time.
There...... What kind of secret room is there!!
It's really like a world!
Chang'an is prosperous enough, right?
But after nightfall, after curfew, there was still a terrible silence.
But what about behind this door?
Even though it was so late, it was still so lively.
What exactly is this place?
Li Xiaoyao didn't care about the shock of Lu Shisan and the others, and walked in directly.
Lu Shisan and the others didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed.
Inside, they realized that it was a long passage, and the lanterns hung side by side, making it very bright.
There is not the sky overhead, the ceiling is low, and people can barely stand up straight when they walk here.
And from time to time, people pass by, and some people set up stalls on the side.
And the stalls are not common goods at all...... Rather, it is a lot of funerary goods.
There are even people who clearly mark the price, how much it costs to kill a person.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel like a place for good people.
"Lord Shaoqing, what kind of place is this?" Lu Shisan couldn't help but ask.
Li Xiaoyao said lightly: "In this world, if there is light, there will be darkness, and if there is white, there will be black. ”
"But in this world, there are many people and businesses that are not visible, so there is such an underground world. ”
"A few days ago, I also learned all aspects of the Lu family's information from here, such as sending people to assassinate and so on. ”
Lu 13 was a little surprised: "There is still such a place, then aren't the people here all evil?"
"Pretty much. Li Xiaoyao said.
"The government doesn't care?" Lu 13 asked.
"If you leave this underground world and go to the sun, the government will naturally take care of it, but if you don't dare to see the sun all the time, like a mouse, then the government will turn a blind eye. ”
Li Xiaoyao said: "After all, such a place cannot be forbidden, even if this place is destroyed, the next underground world will appear! ”
"And, sometimes, this underground world is also very useful. ”
He smiled: "Like now." ”
Li Xiaoyao walked to the end of the passage,
Looking at a burly man holding a knife at the door, with a scar on his face, he said with a familiar voice: "I want to see Zhang Lao." ”
The man said coldly: "Elder Zhang? Elder Zhang has already rested and has not seen anyone. ”
Syllable!
Li Xiaoyao slapped him directly.
A chill flashed in the man's eyes, and he raised his knife and slashed at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao grabbed his right hand back, pulled out the knife on Lu Shisan's waist, and swept it forward.
Then I heard a pop, and a head flew up abruptly.
All of this is happening so fast.
Even Lu Shisan and other shadow guards didn't react.
And by the time they understood what was happening, Lu Qing had already cut off the head of the scarface.
The smell of blood suddenly permeated.
Li Xiaoyao returned the knife to Lu Shisan, clapped his hands lightly, and said lightly: "I don't like this kind of person who has no eyesight to see the most." ”
"This official came here on behalf of the government, and he dared to refuse this official with all his crimes, do you really think that you can be lawless in this underground world?"
The corners of Lu Shisan's eyes twitched.
At this time, he suddenly felt that this Dali Temple Shaoqing Li Xiaoyao seemed to be a little evil!!
No, it's not evil anymore!!
If you don't agree with each other, you will cut someone.
Eyelids don't blink.
This kind of ruthlessness and decisiveness made Lu Shisan ashamed.
It's too energetic to pedal a horse.
There were not a few people killed by their shadow guards, but compared to Li Xiaoyao's decisiveness, he felt that he was far behind.
If Li Xiaoyao wasn't wearing this official uniform, he would always feel that Li Xiaoyao was more terrifying and evil than the people in this underground world.
"Thirteen, I forgot one thing. ”
At this time, Li Xiaoyao felt a little stupid.
Lu 13 asked, "Lord Shaoqing, what's the matter?"
Li Xiaoyao replied lightly: "Afterwards, remember to help me invite Her Royal Highness Princess Changle and Qin County Order to come over." ”
"Princess Changle's sister is missing, how can she not know? And when the time comes, the little princess also needs to be comforted by her sister. ”
"Understood. ”
Lu Thirteen nodded,
At this time, when other people in the underground world saw this scene, they all picked up their weapons and rushed over.
"Protect your lord!" Seeing this, Lu Shisan hurriedly protected Li Xiaoyao.
And Li Xiaoyao didn't even look at these people, and said lightly: "They don't dare to touch a single hair of their own officials, unless they don't want to mix in Chang'an." ”
"Why is Lord Li so arrogant? The subordinate is ignorant and provokes Lord Li, and I hope Lord Li will forgive me. ”
At this moment, the closed door in front of him suddenly opened.
Then I saw a beautiful woman pushing a wheelchair out, and on the wheelchair sat an elderly man about sixty years old.
The old man didn't even look at the headless corpse on the ground, looked at Li Xiaoyao with a smile, and said, "What kind of wind blew Master Li here?"
Li Xiaoyao said lightly: "Your people collided with the official and exchanged the information for it, otherwise this place will be cleared tomorrow, you all get out." ”
The old man's face changed slightly, and there was some annoyance in his eyes.
can look at the official uniforms on Li Xiaoyao's body, as well as the official uniforms of these shadow guards, the anger in his eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He smiled and said, "The dog is not sensible, and the owner is naturally responsible for it, what information does Lord Li need?"
Li Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "During this time, who is buying and selling women?"
The old man whispered something to the woman behind him, and the woman quickly turned around and left.
Not long after, she returned, with a piece of paper in her hand.
The old man glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "The Green Tiger Gang, a few days ago, I sent some newcomers to a few hooks. ”
Li Xiaoyao turned around directly and said, "Let's go." ”
Lu Shisan and the others were a little unable to react, he hurriedly chased after him, and said, "My lord, this is the end?"
"If it's not over, do you really want to wash this place in blood?" Li Xiaoyao said.
"No, I mean to say...... Can the information they give so happily be true?"
Li Xiaoyao said lightly: "Because I am the official, I am happy, understand?"
"If you come over and you kill people like this official, you won't be able to get out today, understand?"
"The water here is deeper than you think, and the people here are more insidious and vicious than you think! ”
"As for the authenticity of this information, they still dare not give it a false one. ”
He led people out of the underground world, didn't even look at the gambling house boys who were tied up, and said directly: "Let's go, go to the Green Tiger Gang." ”
With a goal, Lu Shisan's speed and the others will be faster.
Without any hesitation, they went directly to the lair of the Green Tiger Gang.
"Something is wrong. ”
When he arrived at the door of the Green Tiger Gang, Li Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly flashed.
"Quick, kick the door. ”
Lu Shisan and the others didn't understand what Lu Qing meant, but they still kicked the door hard, and soon kicked the door open.
And as soon as they rushed in, they were all stunned.
"This ...... This is!?"
............
A night breeze blew, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.
Lu Shisan and the other shadow guards looked at the courtyard of the Green Tiger Gang, their eyes widened one by one, and their faces changed suddenly.
"Lord Shaoqing, come and see. ”
Lu Shisan hurriedly said to Lu Qing.
Li Xiaoyao quickly entered the Green Tiger Gang, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
I saw that on the courtyard, there were people lying in all directions, and the blood flowed together, gathering into a stream, which continued to flow.
The smell of blood came to my face.
This Green Tiger Gang...... It seems to have been slaughtered!
Li Xiaoyao hurriedly walked forward, squatted down in front of a person and snorted, then shook his head.
"Dead. ”
He tested the person's temperature, raised his head sharply, and said, "It's still hot, just dead, maybe the murderer is still here, ...... Go search. ”
Lu Shisan hurriedly said: "Come and protect the adults, and the rest will search separately!"
With that, he took the lead in rushing inside, and the others also scattered to search.
Li Xiaoyao frowned and looked at the slaughtered Green Tiger Gang, grinding his teeth.
Who killed the Green Tiger Gang?
And so ruthless, directly slaughtered the Green Tiger Gang?
Why slaughter the Green Tigers?
Or move your hand at the moment before your arrival.
Something to do with the case you investigated?
Or is it just the hand of the opponents of the Green Tiger Gang?
There were countless guesses in Li Xiaoyao's mind, but now that there were no clues, he couldn't judge which one was possible.
However, just as he learned the name of the Green Tiger Gang, the Green Tiger Gang was killed before he arrived, which ...... Could it be a bit too coincidental?
"My lord, I didn't notice a single figure. ”
At this time, Lu Shisan and the others came back and said, "This Green Tiger Gang, except for the dead Green Tiger Gang, there is no one left. ”
Li Xiaoyao said: "It's a step too late." ”
"Did you find any women in here?" he asked.
Lu Shisan shook his head: "No, I searched through it all and found nothing." ”
He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with some concern: "My lord, isn't the clue broken?"
"If someone else investigates here, the clue may be broken, but when it comes to this official, it may not be. ”
Li Xiaoyao's expression has not changed much, over the years,
The case he solved with Dali Temple is more complicated than this case, and he has solved all the difficult cases without any clues, so this case is nothing.
And......
Li Xiaoyao's eyes moved slightly, he already had some spectrum in his heart by now.
I am no longer worried about the safety of the little princess Li Liqian.
Because he thinks that this case is not a case of the disappearance of the princess at all!
"My lord, where is the clue?" Lu 13 asked.
Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, and then said: "Go, give me all the letters, bills and other things of the Qinghu Gang." ”
Lu Shisan didn't know what the use of Li Xiaoyao asking for these things, but he still immediately took someone to do it.
It didn't take long for a large box to be lifted out.
Lu 13 said: "Lord Shaoqing, this is what we found under their couch, it seems that they attach great importance to protecting it, and it may be useful to adults." ”
Li Xiaoyao nodded, opened the box, and saw that there was an account book, as well as a large number of bills, and a few letters.
Li Xiaoyao first opened the ledger and flipped through it, then picked up the bills and looked at them.
Finally, I looked through the letters.
The letter contains some information about buying and selling women, but the person who wrote the letter is very cautious, and there is no money to settle or prove his identity.
In the ledger, the records are all daily eating, drinking, and Lazar and other things, which are completely unorganized, as if they are remembered and remembered.
And those bills are bills for the Green Tiger Gang to buy things like rice, and some pawn bills.
Nothing else.
Lu Shisan looked at these things, looked a little impatient, and said: "It's all useless things, and there is no clue at all to indicate where Her Royal Highness the princess and those women are hidden!"
"Who said it was useless. ”
Li Xiaoyao picked out some bills and account books from this, and said: "It's useless to you, but for this official, it has already told this official who the boss of the Green Tiger Gang is." ”
"What!?"
Lu Shisan and the others hurriedly looked at Li Xiaoyao: "Really?"
Li Xiaoyao said lightly: "The government strictly prohibits the buying and selling of women, and what the Green Tiger Gang does is expressly forbidden, so it can only do it secretly." ”
"And it is in Chang'an, it will often be watched by the government, once there is a large amount of money in and out, it will definitely attract the attention of the government, so in order to ensure that it is not discovered, it must secretly get the money, and it must be legal, otherwise the government will check it accurately. ”
Therefore you say...... How did the money it sold to Goulan some time ago arrive?"
"This ......" Lu Shisan's face was puzzled.
The others were also confused, and they couldn't keep up with Li Xiaoyao's train of thought.
Li Xiaoyao smiled, not expecting them to answer.
He said, "Look at this bill." ”
Lu 13 took the bill, looked at it, and found that it was a pawn ticket.
"Pawn ticket? Is there a problem with this pawn ticket?"
Li Xiaoyao said: "The wine bottle used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty...... This wine glass is really expensive, enough for thirty people to live for a year!"
"Moreover, do you think that such a small gang as the Qinghu Gang can get the things used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Where did they dig the grave?"
"This ......" Lu Shisan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Could it be ...... Is this wine bottle fake?"
Li Xiaoyao pointed to a few bills and said, "And this, the spittoon used by Qin Shi Huang, the night pot used by the overlord Xiang Yu, this one is even more outrageous......
Li Xiaoyao picked up a pawn ticket and said with a smile: "The fart polishing stone used by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty...... For twenty yuan, Liu Bang's fart is made of gold, right?"
Everyone: "......"
Li Xiaoyao said lightly: "Obviously, in order to get the money earlier, this Green Tiger Gang was too lazy to use their brains to cheat, so they just picked up a stone and went, and the result was ...... The pawnshop is back to them, do you think the pawnshop is stupid?
