Chapter 12: Arson
"Catching a turtle in an urn? Hehe! Ding Li smiled slightly, his eyes inadvertently swept over Leprosy Wu and the henchmen around him, and finally glanced at the wooden pillar on the right side that was about six or seven meters away from him, and then the words changed, and if he looked at Leper Wu with deep meaning, he asked rhetorically: "Leper Fifth Master, have you ever heard of closing the door and beating dogs?" ”
Leper Wuyi was stunned when he heard it, and immediately reacted, he didn't believe that Ding Li was scolding himself, it was obvious that the dog he hit was referring to Leper Wu, his face suddenly sank, a pair of angry eyes flashed fiercely, and a hideous big mouth grinned in the firelight, and roared angrily: "A dog thing that doesn't have long eyes!" Dare to speak so fast! If you know each other, you will confess Liu Fu's hiding place, and then kneel on the ground and kowtow three times, maybe I am happy today, the fifth master, and spare your life! ”
Hearing this, Ding Li was also stunned for a moment, and then realized that Liu Fu in the other party's mouth was the owner of the two sea ships that were seized by the government at the dock in the early morning, although this news has nothing to do with Ding Li, but his heart is very happy, it seems that Liu Fu was not captured by the other party's people, maybe he really escaped by himself, after all, no evidence was found at the scene to prove that he was arrested by Leper Wu or Liu Sanye.
Thinking of this, Ding Li secretly laughed, but looked at Leper Wu with a serious face and asked: "Leper Fifth Master, you can't say that, Liu Fu's matter is his business, you can't force it on me, you know, I don't know Liu Fu!" ”
Leper Wu immediately jumped like thunder, these words are simply three hundred taels of silver here, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ding Li and threatened viciously: "Ding Li! Don't see the coffin and don't cry! My people have already inquired around Liu Fujia, and from what is depicted in those mouths, it is clear that it is you, and there is no one else! I advise you to get acquainted, otherwise, don't say that you can't get out of this door today, even your brothers, don't want to have a good time! ”
"So, does the fifth leper want to know Liu Fu's whereabouts?" Ding Li smiled faintly, not affected by the other party's threat at all, paced two steps in place with a relaxed expression, tilted his head slightly, and reminded the other party with a kind smile: "Fifth master, the way you spoke just now doesn't seem to be discussing with me, I'm a timid person, and when others speak loudly, I'm easy to forget, hey!" ”
Saying that, Ding Li also pretended to pat the door of his head, rubbed a few handfuls of hair vigorously, and shook his head helplessly. But in his heart, Ding Li had already grasped that the other party would not dare to do it casually, originally Ding Li already knew about the dispute between the two largest forces in the dock, and at this moment, coupled with the performance of Leper Five, it was determined that Liu Fu's role in it was absolutely crucial.
"You!" Threatening the other party is not the opposite of being threatened, Leper Wu has a feeling of punching the cotton, although he is extremely angry, he still holds back his anger and takes two deep breaths, and patiently slows down his tone: "Okay, okay!" Brother Li! Let's talk! As long as you hand over Liu Fu! Everything else is easy to solve! ”
"Really? Then you kneel down and kowtow to me three times! Ding Li almost blurted out, but a warm smile made everyone see a clear banter, just when the leper stared wide-eyed and was about to be angry, Ding Li suddenly waved his hand and chuckled and added: "Just kidding!" Don't take the leper five masters too seriously! However, as for Liu Fu's whereabouts. ”
Saying that, Ding Li deliberately raised his head and stopped, and the leper Wu on the opposite side was almost scratching his ears and cheeks, seeing that Ding Li deliberately went around the bend to hang his appetite, although he was angry, he still had to lower his identity for the sake of the overall situation, leaned forward slightly, and forced out a smile that was more ugly than crying and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li!" Where is Liu Fu now? As long as Brother Li you say it, everything else is easy to talk about, whatever Brother Li says, I will do everything with the leprosy! Endless gold and silver jewelry, endless beautiful mansions, what do you want! ”
"The fifth master is really generous!" Ding Li nodded with satisfaction, but turned his head to glance at everyone in the room, changed his disdainful face in a blink of an eye, and asked with a sneer: "Hmph!" Dare to ask the fifth master, among all the brothers present here, which one of you can have endless gold, silver and jewelry, and endless beautiful mansions? Anyway, they've all been working hard since you saddled your saddle, but what have you given them? Your day's waste is enough for all of them to make a living! ”
Before the words fell, the thugs in the room, including the stairs, began to look at each other, and even some people began to whisper to each other, and even the so-called loyal henchmen beside Leper Wu were a little moved by these words.
These words did go to everyone's hearts, Leper Wu is not only notoriously domineering and arrogant, but also extraordinarily picky, relying on the fact that there is Chaozhou behind him to help Liu Sanye as a backer, and the Leper Wu who is in charge of a large wharf is prosperous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his family has a lot of money.
But Leper Wu's subordinates are poor one by one, even if they are the two of them, neither of them have a place to live in this Guangzhou Mansion, but the reason that Leper Wu gave the two of them was that for the sake of safety, they persuaded the two to commit themselves to living in the courtyard of their own mansion.
Even the right-hand man is treated like this, not to mention the ordinary thugs who are still in the hospital, although he has a big hat on his head, but he is spurned by countless people behind his back. What's more, almost all of them earn just enough money from Leper Wu to support their own livelihood, and even the coolies who rely on their strength to earn money to support their families are far inferior to those on the docks.
"You, you! Don't talk nonsense! Don't digress! Leper Wu had already felt the change in the atmosphere in the wooden building, but before Ding Li said Liu Fu's whereabouts, he still didn't dare to rashly order to do it, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed, but he still frowned, and continued to ask with anger: "This is my matter with my brothers!" Don't talk nonsense! You just tell Liu Fu's whereabouts, promise you, I, I will definitely honor it! ”
In the end, Leper Wu still glanced around with a weak heart, lest he change. But Ding Li didn't want to fulfill his wish at all, he still shook his head to himself, swept over everyone's faces with complicated expressions with a look of regret, and continued with a long sigh: "Fifth Master Leprosy, it's not that I don't say it, but your approach can't make me believe in you at all!" Look at the brothers behind you, they have followed you for three or five years, and they still have nothing! And I, Ding Li, have only met you twice, not to mention that there is still a deep hatred between us, how can I believe that you will be kind enough to give me such a rich reward? ”
"No, no!" Hearing this, Leper Wuyi suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly squeezed out a sneer, and waved his hand to Ding Li: "Brother Li is really good at laughing, how can there be any deep hatred between you and me!" Our brothers don't know each other, hehe, right! ”
"Really? I kicked that kick, the fifth master doesn't hold grudges? Ding Li smiled faintly and blurted out a question.
"Fight! How can we not hurt each other? Leper Wu laughed again and again, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and his body was excited, lest Ding Li pull the topic to the dead Nanquan and North Legs, and hurriedly pulled the topic back: "Brother Li, don't say much else, you and I have a previous matter, write off!" You tell Liu Fu's whereabouts first, and you will not break your promise! ”
Regarding Liu Fu's whereabouts, it is not only related to an ordinary smuggling case under the Cao Chamber of Commerce, but also related to the power of the city envoy and the observation envoy above, if Liu Fu is not wiped out quickly, and it really falls into the hands of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce or the people of the Jiedu Mansion, it is likely that the Jiedu envoy will take this opportunity to put strong pressure on his master politically and militarily.
The most important thing is that Liu Fu's smuggling ship docked in the area that Leper Wu was responsible for, and if Liu Fu could not be killed in time and cause serious consequences, Leper Wu had no doubt that he was the first to suffer, and he had no power to resist.
At this time, Leper Wu and many of his thugs had relaxed their vigilance, and Ding Li's range of free movement had also expanded a lot, pacing a few steps and leaning on a pillar, and took off the torch that was cross-carrying, as if he was saying something unrelated to him: "A write-off? Leper Five, do you remember what I said? ”
"Huh? What words? Although Ding Li's expression was very calm, the experienced Leper Wu felt that there was an irresistible murderous aura exuding from Ding Li's body, and the steps under his feet inadvertently moved back twice, but he still urged Ding Li with luck: "Brother Li, let's talk about other things later, let's talk about Liu Fu first!" ”
"Huh!" Suddenly, Ding Li's eyes sank, his face was as cold as frost, and the pair of flames in his dark eyes suddenly erupted, and he shouted coldly: "I said, the next one is your leper fifth!" Also, I don't know any Liu Fu at all! ”
As soon as the words fell, Ding Li's wrist holding the torch shook slightly, and the pine oil torch shot out towards Leprosy Wu like an arrow from the string, and the shaking pine oil drew a slender fire dragon in the air, and the furious fire dragon head opened its hideous mouth, as if it wanted to devour Leper Wu.
"Ahh
In a panic, although Leper Wu took precautions in advance, he still didn't expect Ding Li to suddenly make a move, and hurriedly bent down to dodge, a burning sensation of stabbing back flashed, but the henchmen behind Leper Wu were not so lucky, just saw Leper Wu in front of him moved, and a fire dragon flew in front of him, shocked, and hurriedly raised his arms to cover, but he couldn't help but stain the pine oil on his sleeves and chest, and the flames ignited, and he screamed, and threw himself at the companion next to him with open arms.
"Chop him! Hack him to death! Cut it for Lao Tzu!! The embarrassed Leper Wu stood up from the ground and immediately shouted loudly, but there was still Ding Li's figure in front of him.
"Whoosh. Call.. ”
There were two faint sounds of breaking the air in front and back, and Ding Li, who had already dodged and won two pine oil torches again, threw them out towards the wooden boxes and sacks on both sides without hesitation.
"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! Stop him!! Leper Wu finally found the figure in the crowd that flashed left and right like a cunning rabbit, pulled out the machete behind his waist and pointed at it, and ordered loudly, and then saw the fire in the wooden building, and his heart was even more scorched, the goods that could be placed in the stronghold must have a certain value, Leper Wu didn't want to lose such a batch of goods in a daze, so he hurriedly turned around and kept waving his arm at the thugs in the room, and scolded: "Hurry up and put out the fire!" Fight the fire! ”
