Chapter Ninety-Seven: Smuggling

Ding Li and Miao Cuihua, Li Shan and Scar Wei and other dart masters said goodbye one by one, Yang Hongwen repeatedly thanked everyone for their help, and by the way, Ding Li captured the man alive and the bearded two handed over to the Miao Dart Bureau to guard, and after returning to Fuxu Town tomorrow, he sent Yang Hongwen's handwritten letter to Dongying.

Miao Cuihua is naturally very happy with this errand, Yang Hongwen is a celebrity in front of the Jiedu envoy, and he has to do things for the other party, so won't his identity also rise a lot because of this, maybe he can be familiar with a certain officer in Dongying, and there are many ways to do anything in the future.

Yang Hongwen and Ding Li selected two good horses from the mounts of those thieves, brought some pieces of meat deliberately cut off by Li Shan from the red-haired wolf, poured two skins of water, and set foot on the road to Guangzhou Mansion overnight.

"In charge, I didn't expect Ali to be so capable!" Looking at Ding Li and Yang Hongwen who disappeared into the night, Li Shan looked envious, even though the backs of the two had completely integrated into the night, but they still sighed softly to Miao Cuihua beside him without looking back, and a pair of eyes that flashed with strange light never moved a bit: "At a young age, I have a friendship with our 'Guangzhou Mansion Liangyi', and it looks extraordinary!" ”

Listening to his companion's somewhat excited words, Scar Guard glanced at Li Shan with disdain on the side, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice to ridicule the other party: "Lao Li! Don't be envious, you won't be able to hand over this good luck in your life! At that age, I'm afraid you were still running errands for Old Man Miao in our dart game! ”

"Nonsense! Net! Hearing that his friend revealed his old bottom, Li Shan suddenly turned his head and glared at the other party, wanting to scold and refute, but his tone couldn't be hard: "Who, who said!" At that time, I was already able to follow, follow our old man Miao out of the dart! ”

"Hahaha! Darts? That's also to pour tea and water at the front and back of Old Man Miao! Listening to Li Shan's unconfident rebuttal, Scar Wei sneered and continued to add mercilessly, but Li Shan was not angry, just shook his head, with an expression that he didn't want to worry more about the other party, and then waved his hand and sighed: "Hey! According to my experience of walking the rivers and lakes for many years, it will not be long before the boundaries of our Guangzhou Mansion will become three meanings! ”

"Huh? Don't you say I haven't paid attention to it, Ali is also clever enough, the words are meaningful! Miao Cuihua was stunned, immediately understood, and nodded suddenly, but there were obviously more jokes in her words: "Maybe it will be true in the future, Guangzhou Sanyi!" ”

"That's it! If that's the case, my old face will be bright by then! Li Shan nodded yes again and again, blurted out almost without thinking, and then immediately realized that his words seemed to be a little inappropriate, turned his head to look at everyone, all of them were surprised, hurriedly laughed a few times, waved his hand and explained in a low voice: "I mean, yes, even if I am old by then, this kind of thing will have a bright face when I say it!" What's the matter, I, Li Shan, also know two of the three righteousness in Guangzhou! Moreover, Ding Li and Ding Ziyi also called me Brother Li a few times! ”

"Look at your beauty! I'm happier than earning ten taels of gold! Scar Wei shook his head helplessly, and did not forget to count his companions, and Li Shan did not refute this, but smiled indifferently. Although the two of them are one and two darts in the dart game, Li Shan's advantage lies in his seniority, as he said, he was in the Miao dart game more than 20 years ago, and Scar Wei was transferred from other places a few years ago. The abilities of the two are actually almost the same, but their titles are different, and they have fought side by side for many years, and the relationship between the two is also extraordinary, and they don't have any scruples when they speak.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, everyone has a good rest tonight, leaving the two brothers to watch the captive, there must be nothing wrong with this matter!" Watching the two right-hand men of the dart bureau laugh at each other, Miao Cuihua didn't stop them, smiled and told the two of them, and after walking to the bonfire just now, although she took out a straw mat and lay down, she didn't immediately close her eyes and sleep, but looked at the dark and deep night sky, and began to ponder the future development of the dart game.

After Li Shan and Scar Wei competed with each other again, the two of them, who had been enjoying it all year round, gradually felt sleepy, and after agreeing on the division of labor and keeping vigil, the two did not talk about it anymore.

。。。

The night wind is gusting, the wild is not as good as the city, and the night wind always makes people feel a chill through the bones, especially after being affected by the sea breeze, but this also alleviates the pain of Yang Hongwen, who has many injuries on his body.

The two people who rushed overnight did not have torches to illuminate, and only relied on the faint moonlight to discern the direction, fortunately, Yang Hongwen was a native of Lingnan, and with Yang Hongwen, who was familiar with the journey, led the way, it didn't take long for the two to turn to the official road, and at the same time, the nerves did not need to be as tight as just now, after all, the official road was still corrected flat enough, and there was no need to worry about whether it would suddenly fall into the pit or twist the horse's hooves of the mount.

"Brother Yang, thank you for what happened last time!" It was only at this time that Ding Li had the opportunity to thank him for saving his life last time.

Hearing this, Yang Hongwen was obviously stunned, and then realized that Ding Li was referring to the last time he was outside Liu Sanye's mansion, shook his head, and responded loudly: "No thanks!" You saved my life just now! That's enough to prove that I did it right! Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today! ”

"Brother Yang is polite, I just raised my hands, and it can't be compared with Brother Yang's situation that day!" Ding Li smiled faintly undeniably, but his mouth was extremely modest, but he did not have the slightest intention of flattering the other party.

"Last time, I was also entrusted with righteousness, in fact, for me, it was just a gesture!" Yang Hongwen didn't deliberately take credit, and explained it in a real way, that incident was indeed not a difficult thing for him, leading the guards of Jiedu Mansion to the mansion of a gang leader, and he also encountered the other party being murdered, Yang Hongwen was already very polite if he didn't arrest the other party at that time.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Hongwen saw Ding Li turn his head again and wanted to speak, so he hurriedly waved his hand at the other party a few times, and said with a smile: "Ah Li, don't thank you anymore, what happened just now can be regarded as a life for a life, you and I don't owe each other!" ”

"Uh, well, since Brother Yang said so, then I'm not welcome!" Seeing this, Ding Li had no choice but to give up, smiled sincerely, and continued to turn his head and hurry away.

"But, Ali, I have to tell you something!" Yang Hongwen seemed to think of something, hesitated, and finally glanced at Ding Li, and said in a solemn voice.

"Brother Yang, please speak!" Ding Li didn't turn his head to look at the other party, he didn't notice the change in Yang Hongwen's face at all, and even had a faint smile on his face when he responded.

"Since the establishment of the Nanhai Gang, although it has not been a long time, the reputation at the dock is not bad!" Speaking of these, Yang Hongwen's complexion was still relatively relaxed, but as the conversation changed, his face suddenly became cold, and his tone suddenly sank: "I am clear about the original intention of Shouyi to support your Nanhai Gang, if it is simply to deal with the Cao Chamber of Commerce is Liu Laosan of the Chaozhou Gang, as long as the matter is not too big, I will not interfere if you toss it!" But if you take the opportunity to develop your own power and intend to follow in the footsteps of the Chaozhou Gang, then don't blame me for not remembering today's kindness! ”

Hearing this, Ding Li was stunned, and at the same time slowed down the speed of some mounts, hesitated for a moment, or looked at Yang Hongwen with a puzzled face, and asked the other party suspiciously: "Brother Yang, I only understand half of what you say, but I really don't understand, what does it mean to follow in the footsteps of the Chaozhou Gang?" ”

"Humph!" Speaking of these, Yang Hongwen snorted coldly, and asked Ding Li with some dissatisfaction: "You were in Liu Laosan's mansion at the beginning, do you remember why?" ”

"Leper five! Isn't Leper Five Liu Sanye's doglegs? I'll clean up the leprosy, of course Liu Sanye won't let me go easily! Ding Li looked at Yang Hongwen as a matter of course, and the speed of the mount under him slowed down a lot again, but Ding Li suddenly realized that Yang Hongwen was not referring to these.

Without waiting for Ding Li to continue to add, Yang Hongwen snorted coldly again and took over: "Leper Wu is Liu Laosan's dog's leg, that's right!" But Liu Laosan can't do it because of a leper five in the city! ”

"Liu Fu! The owner of the sea vessel who was found smuggling goods at the wharf, Liu Fu! "Ding Li is so smart, in fact, he had already thought that Liu Laosan was looking for himself more for Liu Fu than for Leprosy, but because he didn't continue to pay attention to his own injuries later, he left this matter behind.

"That's right! It's Liu Fu! Yang Hongwen nodded, but his tone still did not ease in the slightest: "The Chaozhou Gang was originally supported by the Cao Chamber of Commerce, but the bold Liu Laosan actually tried to get rid of the Cao family's control and used Leper Wu's small forces at the dock to smuggle goods, and Liu Fu was a witness who was caught!" ”

"Liu Fu is in your hands? Then why don't you let him come out to correct him, so that he can be traced to the end and directly traced to the Cao Chamber of Commerce? Ding Li was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect everyone to suspect that Liu Fu he took away was actually in Yang Hongwen's hands, and subconsciously said something, Ding Li immediately regretted it, if it can be implemented smoothly, I'm afraid Yang Hongwen doesn't have to talk to himself here at this moment.

"How can it be so simple, a little Liu Fu is just a little Liu Fu, at most, it makes Liu Laosan jealous, and it is not enough to convict the other party!" Yang Hongwen shook his head slightly, the corners of his mouth were a little bitter, then he sighed lightly and continued to analyze to Ding Li: "Liu Fu is indeed in my hands, but Liu Fu refuses to testify now!" Because Liu Fu's family is in the hands of the Cao Chamber of Commerce! can't guarantee the safety of his family, Liu Fu won't tell any truth even if he dies! And with Liu Fu's family as a threat, the Cao Chamber of Commerce once again controlled Liu Laosan, after all, in the current situation, if Liu Laosan is too much, the Cao family may push Liu Fu's family out at any time, so that Liu Laosan will die without a place to be buried! ”

"I see! It's complicated! For the checks and balances and secret contests between these forces, Ding Li, who thought he was well-informed, couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't expect that a small sea ship owner would play such a big role in the struggle of these big forces.

"Now, you should understand what it means to follow in the footsteps of the Chaozhou Gang, right?" Yang Hongwen did not forget the topic just now, and when Ding Li was pondering, the cold voice came into Ding Li's ears.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, smuggling is such a thing, hurting the people and the country, I will never do it! If you are discovered by Brother Yang, let it be disposed of! Ding Li still hated smuggling very much, so he immediately patted his chest and assured Yang Hongwen with a serious face.

Seeing this, Yang Hongwen looked at the resolute face in the night, hesitated, and finally chose to believe it for the time being, nodded slightly, but added unrelentingly: "So it's the best!" I hope I don't find any clues! Otherwise, there will never be more between you and me than we are tonight! ”
