Chapter Ninety-Nine: An Undercurrent Surges
Due to the scenery in recent days, although there is a trace of maturity on Saidgard's originally immature face, but more of it is pride, and now in the South China Sea Gang, Saidgaard is also the second person, although the South China Sea Gang has only been established for more than a month, but it has also made Saidgard's reputation shocked.
Today, there were some goods at the dock that he needed to unload the ship in person, but Saidgad temporarily changed his mind, and after ordering a few of his right-hand men to go to the dock, he rushed to the time-honored musical instrument store where he and Ding Li had been together. Of course, all of this was done on a whim by Said, not knowing that he was about to face a catastrophe.
Prior to this, it was also the Cao Chamber of Commerce that also made a move, Cao Xiangming, the young owner of the Cao family, had learned everything that happened in Fuxu Town, Cao Yin and Cao Hai of the Cao Family's Five Tiger Generals were dead, and Cao You was a complete waste, and Cao You, whose hands and feet were broken, couldn't even take care of himself.
Not only that, Cao Xiangming also learned that Hua Lao Wu, who had just been raised in Fuxu Town, was wiped out by the Nanhai Gang overnight, and Hua Lao Wu's corpse sank in Xiao Nanhai, and several of his right-hand men disappeared.
In a hurry, Cao Xiangming couldn't care about the meanness of the means, and since yesterday he pointed the finger at Ding Li's only relative left in Guangzhou Mansion, Liu Sheng. However, yesterday, because of the relocation of the Ding Mansion, there were too many members of the Nanhai Gang, and there was also a Saidgad who was inseparable by Liu Sheng's side, and Cao Si and Cao Chen sent by Cao Xiangming did not have any chance to start.
And early this morning, the secret sentry guarding outside Ding's mansion reported a news that made Cao Xiangming overjoyed, Liu Sheng was out of the mansion, and there were only more than ten people accompanying him, and there were four maids among them, including Xu Hong, who was dressed as a scholar and literati. This news was indeed enough to make Cao Xiangming excited, and even Cao Si and Cao Chen were recalled from the outside back to the mansion.
"This is a great opportunity, that kid named Ding Li is still in Fuxu Town, as long as he can take down his woman in one fell swoop, he is not afraid that he will dare to make any moves!" Cao Xiangming, who has always been calm on weekdays, can't keep his composure at the moment, and he has learned from Cao You, who was lucky to survive, that even Cao You and Cao Hai joined forces to lead two attacks on that day, but they couldn't do anything to Ding Li, and Cao Hai finally lost a life, dealing with Ding Li, so Cao Xiangming had to be extremely cautious.
Although it is more despicable to use the current method, Cao Xiangming can't take care of those anymore, a few days ago, when he was preparing to clean up the three heroes of Duanzhou, the death of his henchman Cao Yin has made him suspect Ding Li, and even at this moment, he has not found out where Wang Ling, who escaped that night, is now, but Cao Xiangming has already linked the two together in his heart.
"What the young master said is right!" Cao Si, who even looks a little clear-eyed on the outside, spoke with a ruthless look, and his eyes revealed a strong hatred: "The death of Cao Yin and Cao Hai must be responsible for Ding Li!" As long as he succeeds this time, even if he is a dragon, he will not be able to make any big waves! ”
"Young master, aren't you going to the dock in a while?" After pondering for a while, Cao Chen, who had not expressed his position, nodded in agreement, but looked at his master with some worry, frowned slightly and asked: "We both went to find the girl named Liu Sheng, so who will accompany you to the dock?" ”
"It's okay, there's nothing big about the dock, what can happen in broad daylight!" Cao Xiangming shook his head disapprerovingly, but then hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, frowned slightly disdainfully and complained in a low voice: "Today I want to see Tian Xiangwen's stinky face again!" What a headache! I really don't understand, just cooperate with their Tian family, why would the Tian family push that stinky boy in front! When I think of his self-righteous stinky face, I get dizzy! ”
As he spoke, Cao Xiangming also reached out to support his forehead and rubbed it slightly, with a bitter look on his face, which made Cao Si and Cao Chen in front of him smile bitterly. The two of them also know the troubles of their masters, Tian Xiangwen's reputation in the entire Guangzhou City has been extremely bad, although what Cao Xiangming does on weekdays is not very glorious, but compared to the former, it can already be regarded as the difference between a villain and a gentleman.
In fact, judging from the names of the two, it is particularly comedy, Tian Xiangwen, the eldest son of the Tian family, and his father Tian Gaolang is a eunuch in the court, although he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, but in the eyes of Wenchen of the same status, he is still a lowly eunuch. And he named this son Xiangwen before entering the palace, intending to let the other party gain a firm foothold in the power of the court's civil servants in the future, at least let the eyes of those self-confident and high-minded civil servants change slightly.
However, it is obvious that Tian Gaolang overestimated his son, not only did he not have Xiang Wen, but his martial thoughts were particularly serious, don't look at Tian Xiangwen's usual outings, he is always in front of the house, but none of the large and small domestic servants and thugs around him are Tian Xiangwen's opponents.
And the intention of Cao Xiangming's name is also very obvious, and his father's Lingnan Dongdao observation makes Cao Wei seem to want this only baby son to be a man and do things above board. But Cao Wei has been fighting openly and secretly in this high position for most of his life, and Cao Xiangming has been reading and seeing since he was a child, so his means of acting are the same as those of his father, and he often does not compromise his means behind his back in order to achieve his goals.
After admonishing him again, Cao Xiangming waved his hand to let Cao Si and Cao Chen leave, and he pondered the plan just now for a while, and then called someone from outside the door and told the other party to prepare a carriage and horses to go out of the house to the dock.
The guest room in Zhang's mansion seems to be due to the concern of Liu Sheng in his heart, Ding Li, who slept for a while, woke up, and Ding Li, who was tired a lot, found that it was just after the hour, and after thinking about it, he decided to go back to the house, and after a simple wash, he said hello to a few brothers who were guarding the door of the house, and then walked back to the house leisurely.
Ding Li's mood was extremely complicated along the way, but even he couldn't understand what it was for. In the end, I just sighed in my heart, perhaps because there were too many things that had happened in recent days, and in the blink of an eye, I not only became the number one person in the South China Sea Gang from a dock coolie, but also moved from the small yard in the slum to a big mansion that ordinary people could not dream of.
With a heart full of joy, mixed with a hint of pride and pride, Ding Li found that today's sunshine was extraordinarily bright, and it seemed that the other party was also deliberately meeting his mood.
However, when he was about to arrive at the new house, Ding Li suddenly paused his steps after passing through an alley, and then returned to normal, but there was a trace of alertness in his eyes, his face changed slightly, and after returning to normal, he hummed the little song that Liu Sheng forced himself to learn a few days ago, seemingly wandering casually on the street, but his eyes seemed to be casually glancing around.
Suddenly, Ding Li dodged into a roadside alley, and then rushed towards the front of the alley with his steps, and turned the corner and disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye. After a while, Ding Li, who had very good foot strength, had already run a few alleys left and right in the alley, looking more like he was running for his life.
In the alley that alerted Ding Li just now, three young men in short shirts leaned against the wall at the corner of the alley, the three of them were not in good spirits, or they looked extremely tired, they had been waiting here for two nights and a day, but after the useful news they got not long ago, the three of them thought that they could go home and sleep and wait for the reward, but they didn't expect that the order sent back from above was to continue to stick to the same place, and they were absolutely not allowed to leave without an order.
The gradually rising temperature made the three of them feel more and more irritable, and even complained about the drudgery without saying a word when they got together, and the three people who thought that the matter had been done did not have the slightest vigilance, and they felt that even if they leaned against the cold blue brick wall, they might fall asleep.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in his ears, and one of the guys with his eyes slightly closed suddenly felt a spirit, and when he subconsciously turned his head to look at the source of the sound, what appeared in front of him was a fist that seemed to be bigger than his entire face.
"Bang!"
A solid punch slammed into the door of the man's face, and the man suddenly had a mixed feeling, all the ups and downs, but this feeling also appeared in an instant, and the kung fu completely dissipated with the disappearance of his consciousness.
"Don't move!" Seeing the two companions who had fallen to the ground, especially one of them was still bleeding from his mouth and nose, the remaining short man didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, and the two cold words that came into his ears made him feel as if he was splashed from his head by a bucket of ice water, instantly refreshed, and full of excitement, but when he saw Ding Li who appeared in front of him like a ghost, he opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a whole duck egg, and subconsciously wanted to shout.
"Dare to scream, kill you immediately!" Seeing this, Ding Li lifted the short dagger in his hand up, and put it on the lower lip of the other party's open mouth impartially, his face was indifferent, and his tone was also very flat, but the killing intent in his black eyes made the short man dare not ignore it.
Feeling the chill brought by the short dagger blade on his lips, the short man no longer felt refreshed, but a chill, a chill to the bone.
"Spare your life." In a moment, the short man found that the dagger was just staying at his mouth, and finally mustered up his courage, and his throat stirred, begging in unison with panic.
"No problem, but you have to cooperate!" Ding Li was also very cheerful, and nodded directly and said the conditions.
"Cooperate, well, definitely cooperate!" Seeing this, the short man hurriedly agreed, wanting to nod but not daring to move at will, for fear that the short dagger in his mouth would be inserted deep into his throat at any time, so he had to keep blinking his frightened eyes at Ding Li.
