Chapter 663: Three Horse Thieves
Now that this group of Black Hawk gang members has been subdued, the next step is to return to the gang to deal with related affairs.
The Black Eagle Gang suddenly changed its leader, and where the Black Eagle Gang should go in the future depends on Shao Xi's decision-making.
Shao Xi sent the Loulan Kingdom Royal Guards back, and now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for them to follow him anymore.
Adhering to the principle of spending money to get things done, before leaving, Shao Xi stuffed a bag of gold into the hands of the leader of the royal guard and asked them to go back and share it for themselves.
The leader of the guard was a little flattered when he received this bag of gold, and they were only the guards of the royal family on weekdays, and it was rare for them to have contact with outsiders, let alone make any gains.
Now that Shao Xi is so generous, it has brought the relationship between the two sides a lot closer.
Before leaving, the leader of the guard promised that he would only look for him if there was anything in Loulan City in the future, and even if he could not help in the name of the royal guard, the brothers under his command would definitely help.
Speaking of this, Shao Xi pointed to Avger, who had just come out of the gambling house and was looking at the roof with a sad face.
Shao Xi told the leader of the guard that if there was anything to happen to the shopkeeper of this gambling house in the future, let him take care of it more.
The leader of the guard agreed, took the bag of gold and left happily with his men.
For these people who may be able to use it in the future, Shao Xi has never been stingy, and money can be earned at any time, but people may not have the opportunity to hand it over at any time.
After sending away the royal guards, Shao Xi arranged for the guys in the gambling house to follow the arrangement of Avrelle and renovate the gambling house, and then returned to the Black Eagle Gang with the group of Black Hawk Gang.
As soon as he returned to the Black Eagle Gang, Shao Xi's arrival caused an uproar.
Hearing that Black Eagle died in the hands of Shao Xi, the hearts of the gang fluctuated for a while, and they were at a loss.
Shao Xi also felt that it was indeed a trouble for the Black Eagle Gang to continue to exist, and sooner or later he would have to leave Loulan Country and return to the Central Plains, and the Black Eagle Gang would definitely be in turmoil in the future under the leaderless dragons.
So Shao Xi made a bold decision, that is, to disband the Black Eagle Gang.
This Black Eagle Gang was originally a major tumor in Loulan City, and now Shao Xi can be regarded as eradicating this cancer by doing so, and solving a big problem for the people of Loulan City.
Although everyone in the gang has given out enough money, there are also many people from poor backgrounds in the Black Eagle Gang, and joining the Black Eagle Gang is just a helpless choice to make a living.
After these people were dismissed, although they received severance pay in their hands, they still had nowhere to go and were homeless, and they would inevitably join other underworld forces in the end.
Shao Xi decided that he was willing to stay in the gambling house in the future, and if he was willing to work as a guard under Avger, he would be taken in by Avger, and if he was unwilling, he would find his own way out.
Under the management of Black Hawk, the Black Hawk Gang has grown and grown over the years, and there have been hundreds of gangs, and such a large group of people have been dismissed, and a lot of severance pay has been paid.
Many of them were reluctant to leave, so they were all arranged to be in the gambling house of Avger.
In fact, this is not a bad thing, Avzhele himself has no martial arts, and these people who remain are nothing more than nowhere to go after the disbandment of the Black Eagle Gang.
It's better to simply let Afuzhele raise them in the gambling house, and at least there is a force in Loulan City that should not be underestimated.
If you have money, you can gather people, and this principle works no matter where you put it.
In this way, the number one underworld gang in Loulan City was disbanded under Shao Xi's arrangement, and the news later spread in Loulan City, which also caused quite a stir.
But these are all later words, and they have nothing to do with Shao Xi.
After disbanding the gang, Shao Xi checked the accounts of the Black Eagle Gang's looting of wealth over the years, and I have to say that Black Eagle still knows how to collect money.
In addition to the money sent out by the disbanding gang, in the end, the Black Eagle Gang's various properties in Loulan City added up to a full amount of more than 100,000 gold, which was quite a considerable amount.
Shao Xi was not polite, and immediately arranged for people to transfer all these properties and gold to the name of Avgere's gambling house.
These things that are happening now are not trivial things in Loulan City.
The dissolution of the Black Hawk Gang and the change of ownership of such a large gambling house in the city will inevitably attract the covetousness of other forces.
So Shao Xi and Lao Wu discussed and decided to sit in the gambling house of Avrelle and solve these troubles for him first, until the gambling house really established itself in Loulan City, and then they left.
In the next few days, it was indeed as Shao Xi expected, and all the forces in Loulan City really came to trouble Avrelle and started the idea of this gambling house.
Originally, these forces did not dare to be too rampant under the suppression of the Black Eagle Gang, but now that the Black Eagle Gang is gone, there are bound to be people who want to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Shao Xi was also unceremonious about this, and when it was time to make a move, he took action, and all the forces in the city were subdued, and finally assured Shao Xi one by one that he would never come to trouble Avrelle's gambling house again in the future.
And Avgerle will give some casino dividends to these forces every month, so that they can be safe with each other.
After doing this kind of thing of making a mouth and giving a sweet date a few times, all the forces in Loulan City were finally suppressed and pacified.
In addition, after the original part of the Black Eagle Gang followed Avrele, they also formed their own forces, so Shao Xi no longer had to worry about what would happen after he left.
The house has been being renovated these days, and the battle with the Black Hawk has really damaged the house.
During this period, Shao Xi finally told Avrelle in detail all the arrangements for his trip to Loulan Kingdom.
Avzhele also unconditionally supported Shao Xi's decision, promising to secretly monitor the movements between Loulan and the Western Turks in Loulan City in the future, and cooperate with Shao Xi to complete the smuggling of war horses back to the Central Plains.
In the future, Shao Xi would arrange for a caravan from Taihe Commercial House to come to Loulan to do wine business, and Avzhele would take this opportunity to transmit the news and intelligence he had collected back to the Central Plains and inform Shao Xi.
The follow-up details are all handled by Avgerle.
In this way, not only did it complete the smuggling of war horses, but it also meant that a relatively complete intelligence network was established in Loulan State.
After a few days, the gambling house has been renovated and reopened.
Because Shao Xi has established prestige among various forces in Loulan City these days, the business of the gambling house is now better than before, and there are many gamblers every day, which can be said to be a daily income.
Shao Xi saw that everything in Loulan City had been almost arranged, and the other things on this trip to Loulan had basically been completed.
So he asked Avzhele to take him to Shazhi Country to find Guan Yucheng's bones, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of this trip.
But before that, there is one more thing Shao Xi needs Avgerle to cooperate with.
That is, I recently heard that the envoys of the Western Turks were about to leave Loulan Kingdom and return to the Western Turks, and the sweaty horse in the embassy, Shao Xi had been thinking about it for a long time.
So Shao Xi planned to get the horse before leaving Loulan Country and going to Shazhi Kingdom.
After finding Guan Yucheng's bones, he went directly to the Central Plains, which can be regarded as picking grass and beating rabbits!
As long as they were secretive enough, the Naxi Envoy would not be able to figure out who did it.
Of course, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better, so Afger only arranged for his people to go out to find out the time when the Western Turkic mission left Loulan City, but did not disclose the matter to anyone.
After learning about the specific itinerary of the Western Turkic mission, Shao Xi got together with Afzhele and Lao Wu and roughly studied how to start.
After all, the Sweat and Blood BMW is a living creature, and it is a thing that recognizes the Lord, and it is not as easy as imagined to quietly take it away from the Mission.
So after some discussion, it was finally decided to adopt Lao Wu's most unreliable method.
Finally, it was the day when the Western Turkic mission was about to leave Loulan City, and early in the morning, Avgerle made some arrangements for the casino.
Then he drove a two-horse carriage with a flat carriage and followed Shao Xi and the three out of Loulan City.
Several people followed the Western Turkic mission all the way.
Since it was early in the morning, there was no way to start in the daytime, so I stopped and stopped along the way, and finally it was nightfall.
The mission camped on the edge of an oasis and rested, intending to continue its journey after dawn.
In the desert, it is rare to have the opportunity to have a dark moon and high wind, the sky is full of stars, the moon is as bright as a mirror, and Shao Xi and the others can only secretly observe the movements of the mission from afar.
After the Western Turkic mission was settled, they also lit bonfires, and after eating and drinking, they went to their tents to rest, leaving only a team of guards to keep vigil.
Shao Xi and the others obeyed Lao Wu's arrangement, and did not rush to make a move, but squatted behind a mess of rocks far away, and kept watch until midnight.
By this time, the men of the mission who should have fallen asleep were already asleep, and the people in charge of the night vigil were only making regular and regular rounds.
After observing for a long time, Lao Wu finally signaled that Shao Xi could do it.
So he arranged for Avrele's carriage to stay in place and wait, and Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to sneak quietly to the place where the Western Turkic Mission parked their horses in the night.
In order to prevent Wu Qiu'er's round and big bald head from being too conspicuous in the moonlight, Lao Wu even found a piece of cloth and tied it to Wu Qiu'er's head.
At that time, Shao Xi almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw it, this is simply a big wolf grandmother.
However, Wu Qiu'er herself is completely indifferent to this matter, anyway, the master will do whatever the master tells him to do, as for the master to laugh at himself, it is not the first time.
Coming to a place not far from the mission, Lao Wu signaled to stop again and waited for a long time.
When the nearest patrol of guards walked away, Lao Wu took the lead in sneaking into the group of horses and gently untied the cloth bag on his back.
Grab a handful of beans with special spices from it and distribute them to Shao Xi and Wu Qiu'er, and let them quietly feed them to every horse in the herd.
Strange to say, horses are also recognized, and when a stranger approaches, it will inevitably cause restlessness and neigh.
But after smelling the aroma of these beans, the horses became surprisingly quiet.
And when each handful of beans was fed to the horses, the horses seemed to be impatient to eat the beans.
While Shao Xi was feeding these horses, he felt puzzled in his heart, he had never heard Lao Wu talk about his ability.
The aroma on this bean is not to mention a horse, even people can smell it, and I don't know what kind of spice it puts in?
After the three of them had fed all the horses in the herd, Lao Wu took Shao Xi and Wu Qiu'er to retreat behind the stones not far away.
I waited quietly for a long time.
While squatting behind the stone and waiting, Shao Xi really couldn't help his curiosity.
He lowered his voice and asked Lao Wu, "I said, old fellow, what did you add to those beans?"
"Why does the smell smell so good? The horses were surprisingly quiet when they smelled it, and they seemed to like to eat it. ”
Lao Wu took off the wine jug on his waist and took a sip gently, even if it was under the moonlight, he could see his smug look.
"The name of this thing is Michun San, which is a kind of medicine used by some flower picking masters in the Central Plains.
"This thing smells so beautiful that it will make people unconsciously smell a few more times, but they don't know that the more they smell, the deeper they will be fascinated and the longer they will sleep.
"It's better if you steal it into food or drink, and get it into your belly.
"I just thought it was fun, so I brought some with me when I came out of Daliang City, just in case, I didn't expect it to be used on the horse today."
Shao Xi deliberately questioned Lao Wu in a skeptical tone: "Oh? Do you really just think it's fun? I suspect you're doing something bad behind our backs. ”
Such a sentence made Lao Wu angry, if it weren't for the fear of alarming the guards of the Western Turkic Mission at this time, Lao Wu couldn't wait to jump up and scold Shao Xi.
However, at this time, he could only lower his voice and scolded Shao Xi: "Bah, bah! You little bunny can't spit ivory out of your mouth!
"Old man, it's true that I've been a thief in my life, but I'm a bright and upright person, and the thing of stealing jade and stealing incense to pick flowers is a next act, and it's despised by thieves, how can I bother to do that kind of thing?
"It's just that most of the flower thieves are good at medicine, and the old man is a little interested in it! I'm also using this fan for the first time, or to help you kid steal horses, you don't know what to do! ”
Shao Xi saw that Lao Wu was anxious, and hurriedly shrunk his neck.
"Good, good, you're right! You've got a point! Did I say the wrong thing? Why are you still in a hurry? But why did the three of us smell this misty spring dispersion, but nothing happened? ”
Lao Wu Aili snorted ignorantly, and replied seemingly reluctantly: "Of course, that's because all three of us have taken the antidote in advance, otherwise you would have fallen on the ground by now." ”
"The antidote? When will we take the antidote? ”
"You and this fat boy hung on the horse's back of the water bladder and the old man, I have put the antidote to the misty spring powder in advance in this wine jug, but I just didn't tell you."
Shao Xi trembled in his heart when he heard this.
Fortunately, this is Lao Wu releasing the antidote into his water, if this is another person who puts Mi Chun San into his water, he will really be like Lao Wu said at this time, he would have fallen down a long time ago.
"That's not right! If this medicine is as effective as you say, why haven't the horses fallen yet? ”
Lao Wu was so angry with Shao Xi that his beard was about to float up, and he raised his hand angrily and slapped Shao Xi's head.
"Are you stupid? Isn't it stupid? You look up at the horses, which one do you think you are stronger than them? ”
"Ugh! You didn't say it to me. ”
