Chapter Twenty-Three: The Golden Helmsman "Surfaced"
Ouyang Dongfeng, the governor of Changzhou, is a person who is honest and honest, loves the people like a son, and has a good reputation among the local people.
Speaking of the matter of Lu Zhixian, Ouyang Governor sighed, saying that his future was completely ruined, and if the imperial court sentenced him to be in the army, it would be cheaper for him.
"Lord Ouyang, the aftermath of Wuxi will bother you. We recently have to investigate the Golden Helm Lord here in Changzhou, and we have to rely on your cooperation. Meng Gang said.
"No problem, if you need assistance, this official should do his best to cooperate."
The captured cultists on the Wuxi side had been released the next day.
This was followed by a second round of interrogation.
Master Ren and the two people who robbed the prison on a rainy night had only seen the golden helmsman wearing a mask, but they didn't know the specific location of the helm.
There are still so many clues, and there are not too many gains.
At this time, in an abandoned courtyard on the outskirts of Changzhou, a burly man wearing a black mask was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
Wuxi Tankou completely collapsed, and Hengshanqiao Town suffered heavy losses, all of which made him worried.
The danger is getting closer and closer, like a man's back, restless.
Do you sit back or fight back again?
It's impossible to sit still, and is there any hope of success in fighting back again?
The abilities of these factory guards are too terrifying, especially a young man named Du Wenlin inside, whose skills are even more unfathomable.
Even the self-proclaimed "star of the future" blue shirts have returned, which is indeed unexpected.
This group of factory guards was already difficult to deal with, but according to the report of the men who had escaped, another woman in red had been added to the other party's ranks. This woman in red is also a powerful character, a soft sword sharpens iron like clay, moves as fast as lightning, and kills seven masters in one shot. When the murderous methods of the woman in red are recounted, the narrator's voice trembles, and he still has palpitations.
He had ordered the Blueshirt to recruit some of his fellow masters to come and help him in the battle, and to keep the danger at bay.
Now, he's waiting for the Blueshirt and his accomplices to arrive.
Meetings with his members never go to their homes or helmsmen, that feels dangerous.
His helm was known to a few key personnel in the rudder, and even the altar master below had never been there.
He is still a well-known businessman and a good man in society, and even his relatives and friends do not know his true identity.
He has always been a cautious man.
There were three knocks on the door, and his men opened the door, and the blue-shirted man led three men in black in their thirties in.
"Meet the Golden Helmsman!" The four bowed.
"A few people have worked hard!"
"These three are the triplets of the Ying family who live at the foot of Yanshan, Win Lion, Win Tiger, Win Leopard, they are the 'Children of the Night' in the 'Night Clan', they saw the information I sent yesterday and rushed over overnight. Because it is not convenient to travel during the day, I have only come to visit the helmsman now. The blue-shirted guest introduced.
"Wei Dongqing, you both belong to the 'Dark Night Clan', why can you walk in the daytime?"
The blue-shirted guest was originally called Wei Dongqing.
"If you return to the helm, although I also belong to the 'Night Clan', I only joined later, and I am different from their original ones. That's why people like me are called 'future stars' in the community. I am also a member of the Ying family now, the surname Wei is my original surname, and I should also have the surname Ying in the family, I am a brother with the third of them, and my stepmother is their aunt. ”
The golden helmsman listened a little big, and he didn't bother to sort out the relationship:
"Brother Ying, I heard Wei Dongqing say, you belong to the capital Ding Duo Master's subordinates, before you came to Jiangnan, did you say hello to Ding Duo Master?"
"Back to the words of the helmsman, we didn't say hello to the helmsman. Although it was his subordinate, we moved relatively freely. ”
"Oh, I have a good relationship with Lord Ding, don't accidentally ruin each other's feelings, that's Jin's sin." After a pause, the Golden Helmsman continued:
"Listening to Dongqing's introduction, there are two good players in that gang of factory dogs, especially the young man, it is really not easy to draw with Dongqing. It is said that several masters of the 'Desert Zerg' raised underground by the Lord of Wuxi Ren Tan were also folded under him. In the future, you have to be careful against him. There is also a girl in red clothes, who uses a soft sword that sharpens iron like clay, which should not be underestimated. ”
"Thank you for your care!"
"Recently, there have been a lot of things here, and there will be more places to rely on your brothers in the future. It's hard to saddle the horse all the way, it's hard work, so be it tonight, Dongqing, you take them to find a place to rest. ”
The early summer nights in Jiangnan are beautiful, so beautiful that people always want to leave themselves in their dreams, in the night sky that is too blue and too deep.
But under this beautiful night scene, there is a secret surge of killing and blood.
The Nancheng branch of "Jin Ji Buzhuang" opened today, and the owner Jin Changshun not only invited the city's business celebrities, but also specially invited Ouyang Governor to come over to cheer.
Because Boss Jin has been committed to charity, he has an excellent reputation in Changzhou.
The prefect of Ouyang will definitely have to sell him this face, but his status as a court official and a local official of the fourth rank is not suitable to participate in such an event.
Therefore, the prefect of Ouyang sent a plaque: "Jinji Cloth Village, Wealth is widely advanced."
Boss Jin specially hung this precious plaque in the main hall of the cloth village to thank the prefect for his support.
Meng Gang and they happened to hear Ouyang Prefect say in the prefect's yamen that today is the opening day of the Nancheng branch of "Jinji Buzhuang", and they also sent him a post.
I heard that the owner of the cloth village was surnamed Jin, and immediately became interested.
Because for the past two days, I have been worrying about finding clues about the golden helmsman.
Since this boss is also surnamed Jin, it is better to join in the fun in the past, and maybe you can meet more people with the surname Jin.
So, he and Du Wenlin changed into the clothes of ordinary officials and helped the prefect's plaque to be sent to Buzhuang.
Although he is a prefect, he is here on behalf of the prefect, so of course he can't be slow.
So Boss Jin repeatedly asked the two of them to go to the banquet together at noon.
Meng and Du got off the donkey down the slope and stayed.
The "Changshun Restaurant" in Changzhou City is also the property of Boss Jin, and the interior is decorated with gold and brilliance, so that every guest who enters it can feel respect and luxury.
Boss Jin accompanied several business celebrities, as well as Meng and Du, into the restaurant hall, which was already bustling and overcrowded.
Because of the special status of Meng Gang and the others, they were also pulled by Boss Jin to sit on the table.
To give them face is to give face to the prefect, and everyone understands this truth.
After the opening remarks and thank-you speeches, everyone began to stagger, guess the boxing order, and it was very lively.
Du Wenlin claimed that he didn't drink at all, so everyone didn't bother to pay attention to him, which gave him more opportunities to observe visitors.
Suddenly, a table near a dark corner caught his attention.
Although they were far away, he knew the three people at the table.
A big man with a pale beard, a white-faced bearded man in his thirties, and a woman in her thirties with a beautiful face.
On that snowy night in the capital, the three killers who were scared away by him at the home of Lord Zhao Zhigao, Vice Minister of the Cabinet, were these three people.
Why didn't they come here? What's more coincidental is that he is still friends with Boss Kim.
I vaguely felt that there might be an article in it.
"There is a situation! I'll leave first. He whispered to Meng Gang.
Meng Gang nodded.
Du Wenlin shook and stood up:
"I'm sorry, guys. Last night, I occasionally felt a chill, and there were noisy voices and dizziness here. I'll quit first. ”
Arched his hand, ignored Boss Jin's repeated retention, and left the table.
Du Wenlin pretended to be sick and left, and Meng Gang also found a reason to leave, saying that he was sending him home, so he also left.
Outside the door, Du Wenlin said:
"We'll have to find a way to change into casual clothes."
Meng Gang looked around, and there was a tailor shop not far away, so he walked in directly.
Tell the boss that the government is on an errand, and hurry up to prepare civilian clothes for the two.
The boss didn't dare to say much, so he immediately found two clothes to change for the two of them.
The two stared at the restaurant not far from the corner of the street, and Du Wenlin briefly told Meng Gang what happened on the night in the capital.
After hearing this, Meng Gang also felt that there was a problem.
It wasn't until the sun was in the west that the visitors dispersed.
The three of them staggered out of the store, apparently having drunk a lot.
Boss Jin stood in front of the door and whispered a few words to the woman, she nodded, and then led the two of them to the south gate.
Changzhou is a famous metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River, where the people are rich and prosperous.
The market is even more prosperous.
Du Wenlin sighed secretly, the prosperity here is not inferior to that of Jingshi.
Out of the south gate not far from the ancient canal, there is a "welcome guest inn" by the river, the three of them entered the inn, on the second floor of the boss Jin has booked the room.
Du Wenlin and the others also walked into the inn, and the boss greeted them:
"Are the two guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?"
Du Wenlin deliberately looked out at the sky and said in Gusu Tu language:
"I've been here early in the morning, I'm tired and hungry, brother, are we going to stay here?"
Meng Gang said:
"Alright! It's just that your room is clean, isn't it? ”
"Although the guest officer can rest assured, we are a decades-old store, and there are many repeat customers. Everyone is here for a reasonable price and a clean and comfortable stay. ”
"You can take me up and have a look, okay?"
"Okay, you're satisfied!"
I picked and chose the next room where the three people lived.
When the sun set in the western mountains, the three of them woke up from their deep sleep.
"Big brother, what are you going to eat tonight? I asked the store to deliver it. The woman asked.
"I'm too drunk at noon, and I don't have much appetite at night, whatever." The gray-haired man said.
The woman went downstairs.
"Lord Ding asked us to congratulate the opening of the Golden Helm Lord's cloth village on his behalf, and told us not to go back for the time being, but to obey the command of the Golden Helm Lord, and monitor the movements of the factory dogs here. How do I feel that things are not so simple? The white-faced man asked.
"Second brother, what you see is only a superficial article. In fact, the real task of our group has been arranged separately. ”
As she spoke, the woman had returned to her room.
"What arrangement?" The white-faced man asked.
"Have you ever heard the words 'Night Clans'?"
"Nope."
"This is a mysterious race that lives underground without sunlight, but everyone is extremely skilled. Under the master of Ding Helm, there are triplets surnamed Ying, who are from this race. The bearded man said.
"What do these three brothers have to do with us coming here?" The woman asked.
"These three brothers are very good at kung fu, they are the right-hand men of the Ding helm master, they are very much used, and they also know many secrets in the helm. But recently, he was bribed by the golden helmsman and betrayed the Ding helmsman and came to Changzhou. ”
"It's all a teaching, just like your own family, what betrays and doesn't betray."
"Little sister's words are wrong!" The Red Seal Sect expanded rapidly, so that the sect leader had no time to manage the rudder in various places, and the rudder master in each place expanded the scale on his own, and there was a tendency to go out independently and set up another mountain. Helplessly, they can't prepare the 'Shuowang Red Pill' themselves, and the antidote has to rely on the chief teacher, otherwise, I'm afraid it will fall apart a long time ago. ”
Meng Gang and Du Wenlin heard the details of the "Red Seal Sect" for the first time, and it also confirmed that this "Jin Dashan man" was actually the golden helmsman, and they were very excited, and they all pricked up their ears, lest they miss a word.
When the three people next door talked about the three Ying brothers, Du Wenlin chuckled in his heart, and suddenly remembered the fierce battle on a moonlit night in the east valley of the capital.
Unexpectedly, the three of them also came to Changzhou.
Thinking of their strange posture and speed when they besieged Sanniang, I couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of let's come?" The white-faced man asked.
"Master Ding Helm clearly asked us to monitor the actions of the factory dog, but in fact, he asked us to monitor the three brothers. He said that we couldn't deal with those three with our skills, and we were only responsible for monitoring their whereabouts, and he would arrange the rest of the matter. ”
"But where are the three brothers now? How do we monitor it? The woman asked.
"There's no rush for this, as long as they're still here, they'll always show their heads."
