Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Rain Stops at Night

The rain stopped at night.

Someone suddenly couldn't hear the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves, and he couldn't see the white rain curtain from the window.

Perhaps the rain was originally raised in the night and then passed away in the night.

……

Changning Mansion, Changxing Fang.

The headquarters of the Blue Dragons.

There is still residual rainwater on the tile roof, but it has never "ticked" down, and it has always been coiled on the tile surface.

At this moment, there is news from within the Blue Dragon Gang that the caravan of the Green Dragon Gang has been robbed and killed by bandits!

The caravan numbered more than a hundred people, and not only all the goods were lost, but more than thirty people were also lost.

On top of that, all four stewards died in the North Mountain Road.

The Qinglong Gang caravan has been trading for several years, and it was only during the beginning that it caused great losses because it was not familiar with the path of Beishan, and there has never been such a thing in the past few years.

The so-called second aunt is in the courtyard.

The grass and trees are prosperous under the rain, and a few maids are weeding.

At this time, Chen Muzhi, the second son of the Qinglong Gang, walked into the courtyard and dispersed everyone.

Chen Muzhi's face had a hint of gloom:

"Mother, do you think this matter will have anything to do with Chu Xiu? Steward Zhang and the others had just offended Chu Xiu, and something happened here. ”

The second aunt also looked gloomy and said:

"I don't know, it stands to reason that Chu Xiu shouldn't be so bold, if this matter is known to the master, even if he is the master's own son, the master will abolish him.

Besides, even if he had the courage, he didn't have the whole energy, and the bandits on the North Mountain were unruly, how could they listen to him?

Last time, I spent 5,000 taels of silver on a small cottage that was not in the stream, where did Chen Binli get so much money?

Before there is evidence, don't go out and talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise it will make the master unhappy. ”

Chen Muzhi nodded, but at this time he suddenly said: "Otherwise, we will dig up Chen Binli's subordinates and ask them if they know any clues?" ”

The second aunt snorted coldly and said:

"Those subordinates before Chen Binli were sent to the place by him after returning to the Qinglong Gang, and now they can't find anyone at all, and the only one who follows him is Chu Xiu who came from Xunxian County.

However, that person is his confidant, and since Chen Binli has kept him by his side, he will not be afraid that we will dig him. ”

Chen Muzhi's face showed a trace of unwillingness, his opponent has always been Chen Yunlong, the boss of the Qinglong Gang, but he didn't expect this Chu Xiu to suddenly appear and cause him a lot of losses.

The second aunt waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't complain, the master will let you go to the discussion later, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”

Chen Muzhi nodded, turned around and walked out.

The caravan is not big, but it is not small to say that it is not small, but because such a thing has not happened for many years, it also alarmed Chen Long, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, and brought some stewards and Chen Binli and their sons to audit.

……

Chen Binli sent a letter, and Zhou Jiyu brought breakfast.

Chu Xiu asked Chu Li'er to finish eating at home.

Chu Xiu walked to the Qinglong Gang station.

One step into the threshold of the compound, the damp dead leaves on the bluestone slab fell to the ground.

The people of the former caravan were all concentrated in a small courtyard.

Dozens of people hung their heads and were pointed at by the Qinglong Gang who came and went.

Speaking of which, this time they were indeed a nest, they were robbed as soon as they entered the mountain, things were not saved, and a lot of people died, and even some people were afraid and did not dare to go to the caravan anymore.

Chu Xiu walked in separately from the crowd, and the group of people were also listless, only a few people stood up and arched their hands at Chu Xiu and said, "I've seen Boss Chu." ”

Glancing at everyone, Chu Xiu said, "Pack up, the caravan will set off again and head to Nanban." ”

As soon as they heard this, those people immediately became anxious, and immediately they were humane:

"Boss Chu, we just had an accident, why do we have to cultivate for a while, think of a countermeasure and then leave? What if you go into the mountains and are robbed by bandits? ”

The people of the other caravans also chimed in, they were really scared.
