43. Lock the target

As soon as the thin monkey said this, the tiger baby did not be cruel to him again.

Uncle Mei and I glanced at each other, and we both realized that the skinny monkey was indeed telling the truth.

I walked up slowly, lifted him from the ground by the collar of the thin monkey, and asked:

"Skinny Monkey, what kind of deal is your master talking about? When is the banquet to eat? Who is the one who supports the pot? Who is it that recognizes the eye? How many times did you turn on the fire and how many times did you return to the pot? ”

I learned these words from Jiang Yongguang, and although I haven't learned it yet, it is more than enough to scare and scare the skinny monkey.

The thin monkey was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said with a shocked face: "Good man! It turned out to be a peer! Look at your fine skin and tender meat, white and clean, I didn't expect it to be a sweet potato and meat dumpling! ”

Dilong originally referred to earthworms, and in the tomb robbery industry, the Tufuzi often used this title to paste gold on their faces, and they called themselves "Dilong", which is the same as "Yuanliang", with a positive meaning.

I wasn't in the mood to get close to him, so I pulled down my face and said:

"Less nonsense! Hurry up and answer my question! Who are the people who recognize the eyes? How many people are eating in one pot? ”

The thin monkey originally saw that I was good-looking, not as fierce as the tiger baby, and thought I was a good-tempered person.

As a result, I was scolded by my eyebrows coldly, and realized that I was not a character to be messed with, so I quickly replied honestly:

"The good man is angry! The good man is angry! I said, I say it all...... The one who supports the pot is the shopkeeper Wang, who is an old partner with my master, and has poured a lot of buckets together, and is a trustworthy friend. Master didn't tell me who it was, but he told me not to ask around, and the less I knew about him, the better it would be for me. ”

This is true, and it is consistent with the information we have.

Master Gao, who recognizes his eyes, belongs to the ceiling level of the industry, and specializes in the outflow of national treasures, so he really can't be easily introduced to the low-level suffering of the thin monkey.

At this time, Uncle Mei asked again: "Since it is a big money-making business, didn't your master ask you to do it together?" ”

When the thin monkey heard this, he couldn't help but complain angrily:

"Otherwise, my relationship with my master is average! I've long heard that there is a big meat pot under the Tuojiang River! There is endless oil and water! At that time, I begged Master to take me down, even if I was a miserable person, I could earn some pocket money, right? ”

"Tuxingsun didn't agree?" I couldn't help but ask.

The thin monkey snorted coldly: "Hmph! At first, he agreed, and said that he would introduce me to the king's shopkeeper. But after a few days, he repented, saying that this time he encountered a completely flooded water hole, which was very dangerous, and dozens of people were drowned on this trip, so I should not send them to death......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but think to myself, this Tuxing Sun is not bad for his apprentice. He didn't lie, the ancient Shu tomb under the Tuojiang River was indeed a dangerous and abnormal water cave, and in order to get the treasures inside, there were countless hardships to drown.

If the thin monkey really went down, I am afraid that it would have become one of the few floating corpses blocked in the cracks of the ground at this time.

But the thin monkey couldn't understand his master's good intentions at all, and was still complaining:

"I think he must have wanted to take other apprentices down and take up my place! There are a few apprentices around him, and their skills are not very good, but they are quite good at slapping horses, in my opinion, they must have robbed me of my place! ”

Uncle Mei and I glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

I asked him again, "Then you haven't been in contact with your master since he went to the grave?" ”

"Nope." The thin monkey shook his head and said, "I looked for him twice, but I couldn't find him." It is estimated that it is a treasure and shipped to other provinces. ”

Uncle Mei asked, "Except for your master, have you dealt with anyone else in this pot?" During this time, you've met these ...... in the town Ahem, Earth Dragon? ”

The thin monkey thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No." Those who do our job are very cautious, and they generally don't show up during the day, and only come out at night. Even if you live under the same roof, there are very few opportunities to meet! ”

Uncle Mei was disappointed when he heard it, this was not the answer he wanted.

The tiger baby was unwilling, grabbed the thin monkey's hair, and said sharply: "Think about it carefully!" Have you heard any wind after all? Even if it's just a gossip or two! Think to Lao Tzu! ”

The thin monkey's tears of pain came out, and he quickly begged for mercy:

"Good man let go! Heroes let go! I'm thinking, I'm thinking......"

After pondering for a while, he hurriedly said, "There is!" When I visited the antique market two days ago, I heard that a group of outsiders had recently come to the market to collect newly unearthed bronzes and jades! Especially the jade slips before the Warring States period, which they focused on! ”

As soon as I heard the news, Uncle Mei and I both lit up.

"Are you sure this news is true?" I'll ask again.

The thin monkey nodded hurriedly and said, "Sure it's true!" Several brothers have told me about this, mainly because this group of outsiders is generous, as long as it is something they look at, the price will not be low, so many people are talking about it, and there will be no fake! ”

After listening to this, Uncle Mei patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Let's go, Rong Sheng, go up and smoke a cigarette with me!" ”

I don't smoke, and Uncle May knows I don't smoke.

So I immediately guessed that Uncle Mei was looking for me to go out to discuss things.

I nodded, and climbed out of the cellar with Uncle Mei.

came to the courtyard, and after walking away, Uncle Mei lowered his voice and said:

"Rong Sheng, you heard that too, right? The group of people who bought bronzes and jades in the antique market that the thin monkey said should be the accomplices of the king's shopkeeper. ”

I immediately nodded, "That's right." Their main target is still the ancient Shu jade slip! On the day we went to the tomb, the rats who saw us take the jade slip should have been drowned, and the shopkeeper Wang probably didn't know that the jade slip had fallen into the hands of Xiaolingwei, he might guess that the jade slip was washed away by the groundwater and washed into the Tuojiang River, so he sent someone to try his luck at the nearby antique market to see if any people on the Tuojiang River were lucky enough to catch it and sell it in the antique market. ”

When Uncle Mei heard this, he clenched his fists tightly and said, "The one who killed your aunt must also be the person who is in charge of the king!" He just came to the house to search for ancient Shu jade slips! ”

"In that case, we must find the king's treasurer! If you find him, you can catch the murderer of Aunt Mei, and you can also ask about the whereabouts of Sister Mei! ”

When I said this, my whole body trembled with excitement!

Because we've finally locked on to our goal!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, followed by Jiang Yongguang's voice:

"Third brother! Did you sleep? Did Xiao Chen's fever subside? I heard Xiao Liang say that he still has a fever today, so he came over to deliver some medicine! ”

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and we never expected Jiang Yongguang to visit suddenly.

Soon, he came to the yard with a plastic bag of antipyretics, and when he saw us two standing outside smoking, my face was also very ruddy, and he immediately said with relief:

"Xiao Chen, it seems that you have recovered? That's good, then I'm relieved. ”

As a result, he shouted like this, so that the thin monkey locked in the cellar heard, this thing is also dishonest, heard that there were people outside, and hurriedly shouted heartbreakingly:

"Help! Kill! Help me! Kill! ”

When Jiang Yongguang heard this, his face changed instantly, he narrowed his eyes, looked at me and Uncle Mei vigilantly and asked:

"Third brother, Xiao Chen, what's the situation?"
