Chapter 307: Trickery
In a two-entry house in the west of Sizhou County, Zhong Duoqian was holding Li Yi's money bag in both hands at this time, and saluted a middle-aged fat man with a bloated figure with a flattering face.
"Boy Zhong, I heard that you got something good this time?"
The middle-aged fat man asked in a long tone with squinted eyes.
"Helper, we did get something good this time, otherwise the little ones wouldn't dare to come to your old man's house!"
Zhong Duoqian stalked his neck and said, at this time he felt a little itchy on the back of his neck, but at this time his hands were still holding the money bag and couldn't reach out to scratch it, so he could only endure it.
But then the middle-aged fat man snorted at the person next to him, and the man immediately stepped forward and picked up the money bag in Zhong Duoqian's hand.
Then the man hurriedly delivered the money bag to the middle-aged fat man.
The middle-aged fat man who took the money bag pinched the money bag in his hand with his thick fingers, weighed it a little, and then his brows furrowed.
However, because he was too fat, his face was already full of fat, and his whole face became extremely weird when he frowned like this.
"I said, boy Zhong, you're afraid you're not having fun with me, are you?"
The bloated fat man immediately turned pale, and then drank coldly.
His scolding startled Zhong Duoqian a lot.
The other amazing people who came with him were also frightened and lost their minds all at once.
These two are just the lowest minions in the Duowen Gang, where do they have the opportunity to be received by the gang leader on weekdays!
Originally, they planned to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the gang leader, so as to leave a good image for the gang leader.
didn't expect that just seeing the face of the gang leader would make his old man angry.
"Is it because the matter of us each stealing a glass bead was known to the gang leader and his old man?"
At this time, the two of them were already frightened like willow branches in the wind, constantly swinging.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fall to the ground in fright, they heard Zhong Duoqian suddenly fall to the ground and shout.
"The helper has been wronged! Even if you are small, you will not dare to deceive you! ”
Zhong Duoqian's actions surprised the other two, and at the same time, the two of them were awakened from the panic just now.
That's when they realized that they had almost exposed themselves.
Before, the three of them had privately agreed to keep the secret of each person swallowing a glass bead.
If the two of them let the gang leader see the clues, all three of them will inevitably die.
Now the two of them also have to admire Zhong Duoqian, under the power of the gang leader, he can still hold his heart without showing any fear, no wonder he can become the leader of several of them at a young age.
"Hahaha! Zhong Xiaozi's gang leader still trusts you very much, so you don't have to be so afraid! ”
The middle-aged fat man who was still angry just now immediately changed his kind face.
This change of face is simply faster than turning a book.
And Zhong Duoqian, who was kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground, also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Maybe others would have been scared out of shape in this situation just now, but Zhong Duoqian would not.
That's not to say how bold he was.
The reason why he was able to be calm and even able to deal with this fat man was because he knew the fat man too well.
He had seen the fat man use this trick to deceive the other gang members several times before.
That's why he can react so quickly under the conditions of mental preparation.
In fact, if you want to say that he is worried, what he is really worried about is that the other two will be deceived by this fat man to tell the truth.
That's why he knelt down and cried at the first time, in order not to let the fat man see the clues.
And the fat middle-aged man saw that his trick didn't deceive anything, so he didn't suspect him.
Then he opened Li Yi's money bag with a satisfied face.
Then he put his finger into the purse and fumbled for a while, and then a round glass ball was caught between his two fingers.
And when he could see the glass ball in his hand clearly, his small eyes suddenly shot a fine light.
At the same time, his breathing became rapid, and his fat body, which was lazily leaning on the chair, immediately sat up straight.
"There are such translucent and pure glass beads in this world!"
The fat man brought the glass bead in his hand closer to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
And the squire next to him couldn't help but have a greedy look in his eyes when he saw the glass bead in the fat man's hand.
After carefully observing the glass ball in his hand, the fat man realized that he had taken out a glass ball.
So he hurriedly poured out the other three glass beads in the money bag.
The fat man saw the other three glass beads in his hand, and the joy on his face could hardly be suppressed.
"Okay, good boy Zhong, you don't lose the person I value the most, you really didn't disappoint me!"
The fat man grabbed the four glass balls in his hand, then stood up and laughed.
"It's an honor for the kid to be appreciated by the helper!"
Looking at Zhong Duoqian's grateful appearance, the fat man's vanity was once again greatly satisfied, and he also loved Zhong Duoqian even more.
"The attitude of the gang leader towards us has been getting worse and worse recently, and they have hinted many times that the benefits we give are too little."
The man next to the Duowen Gang leader looked directly at his hand.
"You mean we're giving them these glass beads?"
The fat man's eyes narrowed and narrowed, but the fierce light in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Although the glass beads seem to be precious, they are just a plaything, as the old saying goes, those people who are reluctant to let the child can't trap the wolf, you are all virtuous, we don't feed them, we don't want to be able to eat peacefully."
The man bent over and said with a serious face.
The Duowen gang leader stared at the man beside him for a while, and finally sighed, opened his palm, and handed him the three glass beads in his hand.
"These three glass beads must be sent to the hands of those three!"
The leader of the Duowen Gang said with a painful face.
When the man saw that the fat man had handed him the three glass beads, he immediately opened his hands and carefully took the glass beads.
Although he didn't have the slightest expression on the surface at this time, in fact, his heart was completely happy.
"Tan Kelong, you idiot, do you really think that Lao Tzu will give such a treasure to the top, how can the treasure in my Gao Xin's hands be given away!"
The man grabbed the glass beads in his hand and thought to himself.
However, all his expressions were all seen by Zhong Duoqian.
Then the man, Gao Xin, left the room briskly with three glass balls.
When he left, Zhong Duoqian immediately got up and leaned towards the fat man Tan Kelong.
"Helper, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with that high elder!"
If you want to say that Zhong Duoqian hates the most in this Duowen Gang, it must be Gao Xin just now.
This man is an elder of the Duowen Gang, but he is a complete vampire.
Zhong Duoqian has been blackmailed by him more than once, and every time he can accurately grasp Zhong Duoqian's bottom line.
"Hmph, boy Zhong, I know what you want to say, but sometimes it's hard to be a family if you're not stupid or deaf!"
Tan Kelong changed the domineering appearance just now, and his tone was full of gloom.
"Since the helper knows Elder Gao's thoughts, why do you still give him the glass beads?"
Zhong Duoqian said puzzled.
"You both go out!"
Tan Kelong sat back on his chair and waved his hand at the two who came with Zhong Duoqian.
The two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard their helper let them out.
Then the two of them waved their hands towards Tan Kelong, and then they couldn't wait to leave the room.
"Zhong boy, you can be regarded as the one I grew up watching, and the more than ten orphans who were with you at the beginning are now only you who are still alive and healthy, which shows your intelligence."
Tan Kelong said with emotion, he seemed to recall the past eventful years at this time.
"I think that my parents died, if it wasn't for the helper and you to take me in, I would have frozen to death on the street."
Zhong Duoqian struggled to squeeze a few tears out of his eyes, and then pretended to be affectionate.
But in fact, he had already scolded this Tan Kelong in his heart.
In fact, although Zhong Duoqian's parents died and lived on the streets, he didn't want to join the Duowen Gang at that time.
Because there were more than a dozen children with him at the beginning, but in just a few years, these children were tortured by this damn Tan Kelong and bruised all over their bodies.
Even so, Tan Kron's daily threats are that they must go to the streets to steal their belongings, or they will be completely wiped out.
And Zhong Duoqian grew up in this harsh environment.
At the beginning, he was like a mad dog, and was tortured by Tan Kelong and his men every day.
At that time, Zhong Duoqian's biggest wish was to one day be able to kill all the people in the Duowen Gang.
Therefore, Zhong Duoqian endured torture with difficulty for this goal, and at the same time began to learn the experience of stealing and robbing as quickly as a sponge.
In such a harsh environment, Zhong Duoqian quickly became an expert in stealing, and it was because of this that he was able to escape.
"I'm very glad that you can have this idea, and I hope you can be my right-hand man in the future."
Tan Kelong gently patted Zhong Duoqian's arm as a sign of encouragement.
And Zhong Duoqian immediately understood the voice of Tan Kelong's words.
This Tan Kelong said that he hopes to become his right-hand man, which potentially means that he wants to find a way to replace his current right-hand man.
At this time, it was Gao Xin who was known as Tan Kelong's right-hand man.
"I don't want to live up to my hope of helping, but how do you plan to deal with Elder Gao's help? Do you want to find a way to steal the three glass beads in his hand now. ”
Zhong Duoqian said as he slapped his chest on the thump.
However, Tan Kelong just waved his hand, and then said with a slight smile.
"Originally, this Gao Xin was a distant relative of Juncheng, and I didn't like him very much, but looking at his performance just now, it was obvious that I coveted this glass bead."
"The gang leader also gave him three glass beads? Isn't this sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger? ”
Zhong Duoqian didn't understand Tan Kelong's intentions at this time.
"Hmph, Gao Xin, this guy is insatiable, and he has been greedy for a lot of money I gave to him over the years, and it's ridiculous that he thinks I don't know."
Looking at the disdain on Tan Kelong's face, Zhong Duoqian suddenly felt that his back was in a cold sweat.
All along, he and the other brothers in the gang thought that Tan Kelong, the leader of their Duowen Gang, was just a fool with a fat brain and no city government.
But now he knew that this was an illusion deliberately created by Tan Kelong.
It is said that there must be a conspiracy to hide but not to be released, and this Tan Kelong must have great ambitions if he is so forbearing.
"Boy Zhong, do you know who the left elder Gao Xin and the right elder Yahai in our gang are?"
Tan Kelong lowered his voice and whispered.
"Just now you said that Elder Gao is a relative of Jun Cheng, could it be that this right elder Yahai also has other identities?"
Zhong Duoqian was taken aback, he had already heard the meaning of Tan Kelong's words.
"It's still that you kid is smart and knows how to draw inferences, that's right, this Elder Yahai also has a background, and he is a relative of the county guard."
Tan Kelong said with a wry smile.
And Zhong Duoqian couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise after hearing the hidden identities of Gao Xin and Yahai.
He really didn't expect that there were such two big people hiding in the Duowen Gang he was in.
At this time, he also understood why the Duowen Gang had been abducted and deceived in Sizhou County for so many years, and he could be safe and sound.
It turns out that the root cause is in these two people.
"You now understand why I can't do it to Gao Xin!"
"Then what can the little ones do now to solve their problems for the adults?"
Zhong Duoqian is also a thoughtful person, if he can't hear that Tan Kelong wants to do things by himself at this time, then he will be in vain for so many years.
"You're a good kid, you guessed my idea at once!"
Tan Kelong patted Zhong Duoqian's head again, and then sighed softly.
"What does the helper command, but it doesn't matter, the boy will definitely go to the soup for you."
"In fact, in the past, when Gao Xin was greedy for some of the silver taels handed in, I would turn a blind eye, after all, even if this matter was stabbed, it would definitely be impossible for the people above to punish Gao Xin heavily for the sake of face, but this time it was different."
Tan Kelong said with a strange smile on his face.
"What the helper means is that the glass ball this time is too precious, you want to poke this matter out, so that you can punish Elder Gao through the hand above?"
Zhong Duoqian was already able to completely guess Tan Kelong's thoughts at this time.
"However, I just took this opportunity to cut this guy out of my Duowen gang once and for all."
Tan Kelong said with a smile on his face.
"I wonder what you need the kid to do?"
After Zhong Duoqian heard Tan Kelong's plan, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of uneasiness welling up in his heart.
"It's very simple, take out the glass ball that you are greedy for ink and send it to the City Lord's Mansion in person."
When Tan Kelong finished saying this with a smile on his face, Zhong Duoqian felt that his head was blank, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Helper!"
Zhong Duoqian fell to his knees and slammed his head on the ground, while his whole body trembled like chaff.
"It's okay, this time I forgive you, who made you win my heart! But the two unlucky ones out there aren't as lucky as you. ”
Although Tan Kelong's words were said lightly and in a bland tone, they were like a sharp knife in Zhong Duoqian's ears, and every word made people shudder.
