Chapter 24: Routines

In Wang Jingguo's mouth, the "sixth brother" he thinks is a good big brother is portrayed as a typical righteous man in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that since the death of her uncle, who took care of her sister and brother, Wang Jingyao had to take on the work of the family, and had no leisure to discipline Wang Jingguo. And when a young man of this age is left unsupervised, it is very easy to go astray. Wang Jingguo was impulsive again, and after a conflict with someone on the street one day, he was beaten by several teenagers, and the so-called two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and when his head was bleeding, a big brother like an idol "Sixth Brother" appeared.

Then there is Li Yuan's opinion, in the later generations of extremely old-fashioned plots, this sixth brother carries a sharp knife with him, and there is a bowl-sized scar on his head, he is strong and strong, and his personality is bold, which perfectly fits the image of a righteous man in Wang Jingguo's heart. So he quickly became grateful to the sixth brother for his righteous actions, and then the sixth brother learned about Wang Jingguo's life experience, not only greeted him with warmth, but also took great care of him, and even generously gave a few big money. In the next few months, Wang Jingguo and many teenagers who also "admired" the sixth brother began to learn to make a living.

Soon, the sixth brother and some of his subordinates first taught them some necessary terms, and then began to make a formal living, "escorting goods" for the owner, after the completion of the owner, the owner will pay the sixth brother some cash, and then the brothers will divide it equally. And each time the goods were different, at first wheat and cloth, then livestock, and then even women and children. Until the last time, Wang Jingguo, as the newest member of the "team", finally had the qualifications to participate, and this time the goods were private salt.

As a result, it was unfortunate that less than half a mile from the east of the city appeared, and Wang Jingguo lost the first battle and was captured. And Wang Jingguo also talked about a detail, that is, they all worshiped the sixth brother as the eldest brother, and the sixth brother also told them in advance that they should be righteous as brothers, and if they miss on the way, then they must bear it themselves, and they must not involve their brothers, otherwise the owner will not let them go!

Therefore, to this day, Wang Jingguo has always believed that this arrest was completely caused by his "rustiness", and even blamed himself very much, for fear that the owner would anger the sixth brother......

Hearing this, the others were dumbfounded, only Li Yuan's face turned red, if it was in the future life, he would have scolded him a long time ago, and he really didn't vomit or be happy: "Silly boy, you are completely routine!" ”

Wang Jingguo asked in a daze: "What is it, routine, road?" ”

"Alas, you were deceived by that sixth brother! You've been trapped! ”

Wang Jingguo obviously disagreed with Li Yuan's opinion, and kept shaking his head violently and said, "It's definitely not the sixth brother!" The sixth brother is like a brother and sister to us, and this time he also told us in advance, and we are all willing. ”

Li Yuan's heart was heavy, and he wanted to tell him that in fact, this was a scam from beginning to end. When he met Sixth Brother for the first time, maybe the teenagers who beat him were accomplices. After deceiving Wang Jingguo's trust, after several months of running-in and brainwashing, he finally used these teenagers to drive himself to smuggle goods.

But what Li Yuan didn't understand was that Wang Jingguo said that the sixth brother had taught them some jargon, and if nothing else, it was the black language used by the bandits. is a homeless bandit, where does he have such a tough background? And the mysterious proprietor, under the high-pressure law of the Southern Tang Dynasty, can get so many goods, and even the population and private salt, it is simply shocking!

And these goods are so precious, why should these ignorant teenagers be transported? And where is it going to go? What is the identity of that owner? For example, private salt, in this era of high salt prices, is equivalent to a full five truckloads of money, so you can rest assured that five teenagers will transport it, and how can the government have such high efficiency, and the gods will descend from the sky after just half a mile?

Li Yuan suddenly felt that the complexity of this case seemed to be far beyond his imagination, and the scope of involvement was probably not small......

After calming down, Li Yuan continued to ask: "Can you tell me how you connected when you delivered the goods?" ”

"What do you mean, pick up, head?"

Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and asked in a different way: "Hey, that's the jargon you use." When you went to the east of the city that day, those truckloads of smuggled salt couldn't be handed over to you in vain, they had to talk to you, didn't they? ”

"I don't know that." Wang Jingguo looked innocent: "I really don't know! Every time, the sixth brother talked to the people of the owner's family, and we didn't dare to ask more, and we took over when the goods were delivered that day. The sixth brother told us that we walked in the sand today. ”

"Walking in the sand?"

Wang Jingguo inexplicably rolled his eyes at Li Yuan, and explained solemnly: "Sand is salt." Walking sand, in addition to opening strips, moving stones, etc., ......"

Li Yuan was puzzled: "What are the strips and stones?" ”

Wang Jingguo said angrily: "It's women and children." ”

Human trafficking is still so reasonable, Li Yuan said angrily: "You don't have a red face and a heartbeat!" Can you do all this? ”

Wang Jingguo said with some unconvincing: "The sixth brother said that these people have signed a deed of sale, so what's the matter?" ”

Li Yuan was helpless in his heart, sighed and said, "Don't mention your sixth brother!" Well, there are some clues! Yes, boy, that's it for today! I'll order someone to bring you something to eat and drink in the next few days, don't starve yourself to death!" ”

Then he couldn't wait to turn around and say to Wang Jingyao, who had been silent: "Sister Yao, let's go!" ”

Wang Jingyao was obviously shocked by her brother's remarks, she originally thought that Wang Jingguo had just made a mistake for a while, and she had never wanted to do so many ridiculous things, so she kept silent, and before leaving, she still mustered up the courage and whispered to Li Yuan: "Brother Yuan, what should we do now?" Yasukuni he-"

Li Yuan knew that he couldn't increase Wang Jingyao's thoughts, so he smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, let's go out first!" If you believe me, the next time we see him, he will be safe. ”

Wang Jingyao didn't dare to look directly at Li Yuan's face, but her heart warmed up, and she said with a long-lost smile: "Hmm! ”

The two of them have been silently walking out of the prison, Li Yuan is in turmoil at the moment, although he has drawn a basic judgment from Wang Jingguo's mouth, this young man is definitely not the first offender, the sixth brother behind him and the so-called owner, they are the culprits. But now the information is only the nickname "Sixth Brother", where to start......

After walking a few steps in place, he suddenly turned around and saw that Xu Kuangheng, who he knew today, was still following behind him, and suddenly thought that this person was following him and Wang Jingyao the whole time, was it intentional?

Li Yuan couldn't help it, and decided to test it: "Mr. Xu-"

Xu Kuangheng smiled slightly, and directly interrupted: "Li Yuhou is looking for that Ma Liu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan was a little surprised, paused and said, "Ma Liu? Mr. Xu is talking about Wang Jingguo's sixth brother? ”

Like a Taoist who can pinch and calculate, Xu Kuangheng brushed his slightly wrinkled shirt in a chic manner, and smiled mysteriously: "The so-called sixth brother was originally just a homeless person from Hedong, but because of a scar on the top, he took the nickname Scar Head Ma Liu. This person once gathered a crowd in Haizhou as a bandit, until a few years ago when the official army suppressed the village, and his whereabouts are unknown. Today, I heard that the little brother of the Wang family mentioned it, and I remembered that this sixth brother should be Ma Liu! I never thought that this thief would be able to escape, and this time he went to Chuzhou for chaos. ”

At this time, Xu Kuangheng said unhurriedly, but Li Yuan was already excited, the sky has rained, this Mr. Xu is really too timely! Hurriedly asked in a low voice, "How did Mr. Xu know?" Is there a way to find that Ma Liu? ”

Xu Kuangheng nodded lightly, and responded quite naturally: "I have lived in Haizhou for three years before, so I know it. Now that he has joined the army for justice and is in charge of a state prison, he has some way to find people. It's just that on the border of Chuzhou, the border between the two countries, there are a lot of homeless people and bandits, and it takes some effort to ......"

Li Yuan was stunned for a while, then reacted immediately, and without hesitation, he took out a money bag, and directly stuffed it into Xu Kuangheng's hand without looking at it: "I understand, Mr. Xu!" It always costs a bit to inquire about the news! Take these things, and tell me if they are not enough! ”

Xu Kuangheng has always been self-assured, but he has less than two moons, so he weighed the weight of the money bag a little at this time, and suddenly his heart was shocked, and he swallowed his saliva.

Then he looked at Li Yuan again, and saw that his gaze had been on him, and his expression was very sincere, which was a rare trust. Xu Kuangheng understands that this moment will be the beginning of his friendship with Li Yuan. So he bowed his waist, arched his hand and said firmly: "Yu Hou, I am determined to live up to my mission!" ”

Xu Kuangheng's words undoubtedly reassured Li Yuan, but after all, this matter is very important, although Li Yuan was happy, he calmly reminded: "Mr. Xu, be careful in everything!" But this matter is imminent, and in five days, Wang Jingguo will go to Jinling......"

"Two days."

Li Yuan was caught off guard and said, "Huh? ”

Xu Kuangheng smiled calmly, stretched out two fingers and gestured: "Li Yuhou, I will go to the outside of the city to find you in two days!" When the time comes, solve the problems for Yu Hou! ”

Although it is incredible, the confident aura on Xu Kuangheng's body can't help Li Yuan not believe it! So he decided to take a gamble, took a deep breath, clasped his fists and saluted: "Okay, I see that Mr. already has a city government, so I won't ask more!" Just two days, a word is a certainty! ”

"It's a deal!"
