We didn't embarrass Liu, we didn't check his lighter, and when he left, we handed over the USB stick. I picked it up, broke it into two pieces and threw it in the trash.

The proprietress opened the lock of our room without permission, with a frightened expression on her face, she must have received the money for transporting Liu.

I glared at her a little, ignoring her for the time being, the purpose of coming had not yet been achieved. Wait until everything is taken care of, and then settle accounts with her.

Su Yan and I were separated, she wanted to go to the steel mill to buy goods, while I got on the bus and wandered around aimlessly, while carefully observing whether there was a tail, I called Ji Shiqing and wanted to meet him, he could go to Windy City to help me, which means that his power has gradually infiltrated Windy City.

It's that wilderness again, and it's still the same as before, living on blackmail and blackmail.

As soon as we met, Ji Shiqing invited me into the house, politely took out a good tea, and after we exchanged a few words of greeting, we gradually got to the point, I took out a dagger made of gold from my body and put it on the table, "Let Brother Ji help me more, please accept this meaning." ”

Ji Shiqing looked at the gold, his eyes lit up, but it was not greedy, but surprised, in an instant, he returned to normal again, and he didn't refuse: "Brother Tong is so polite, they are all on the road, we are thieves, you are blue, the eight elements in the world are one family, it is normal for you to help me and I help you." Since Brother Tong has brought me a gift, I will also give you a gift. With that, he took out a deck of poker from under the bed and gave it to me.

I took it and held it in my hand, and opened it heavily, and it was actually a card made of white steel, the same as the one I originally used, "Brother Ji's gift is really valuable, thank you Brother Ji." ”

Ji Shiqing smiled, "The last time I met my brother, I saw the weapon card you used, and I thought at that time, if we meet again one day, I want to prepare some gifts, so I asked someone to create a pair, but compared to your dagger, it is a bit shabby." ”

"Hey, Brother Ji is serious!"

This kind of steel card is indeed inferior to a gold dagger, but on the value, it is not cheap, the original master gave me a pair, to more than 50,000, the main thing is that the thickness of the card can not be thin or thick, but also uniform, toughness to be large, but the toughness is greater at the same time the hardness of the white steel needs to know the master to quench, the technical requirements are high.

Ji Shiqing smiled with satisfaction, he was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to look at it.

I put the cards away, I originally wanted to play another deck, but now someone gave it to me, I continued: "Brother Ji, let me ask, can you tell me where this is played from?" There are really not many blacksmiths with this kind of technology now, and they may still be needed in the future. ”

He said: "Brother, don't hide it, if you let you fight by yourself, you really can't find it." It's not iron-striking at all. ”

"Oh? Is it still amateurish. ”

"Amateur is definitely not, it is a master and apprentice who play gold jewelry. The last time I saw your cards, I suddenly thought that when I followed my master, there were two people who also used the same steel cards as you, and I was young at that time, and I touched them. ”

When I heard this, I was surprised, "Someone uses the same one as me?" ”

Ji Shiqing nodded, "Of course." Although I was young at that time, I also learned some skills from my master, and when I touched the steel plate, I remembered the weight. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?" ”

Ji Shiqing thought for a while, "I can't remember what it looks like, one of them is uniform, and the other is very thin, and I was impressed by the thin one, when he poured tea for him, he didn't drink it, so he took out a set of purple clay pots and brewed it himself." I thought at the time, this is too rude, although we are thieves to put it bluntly, since we come to the door, it is a guest, is it a guest? ”

Purple clay pot?

I suddenly remembered someone, Old Man Ji, and I asked slowly, "Brother Ji, can you tell you about Master's name?" ”

"What's wrong with this, Master, he is on the gold and under the technique, it turns out that the rivers and lakes are called gold and teeth. My master respected them very much, and at that time, I had to invite them to the Lichou Wharf, and I thought, how can there be such a place, called Li......"

"Brother Ji, what did you say? Away from the wharf! When I heard that, my whole body trembled.

"Yes...... Yes, it's really called the Sorrowful Pier......" Ji Shiqing looked at him in surprise, he didn't know why I was so excited to hear these words.

I hurriedly asked, "Does Brother Ji know where the Sorrowful Wharf is?" ”

Ji Shiqing shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, since then, I haven't seen those two people again." And it's a little late for us to know each other now, my division left three years ago, so he handed it over to me. It can be seen that the elder brother seems to be very concerned about the Sorrowful Pier, if you want to know where it is, I think the old master who played the steel card should know. ”

I asked, confused, "He knows?" ”

Ji Shiqing said: "I don't know about this, I just told the people there, I didn't say how big the card was, and I didn't say the suit, he sent me away, and told me to get it in a month." I took a look and was very satisfied, the same as you used, you said it was possible for him to know. ”

I nodded, "Makes sense." ”

Ji Shiqing said: "Brother, if you really want to find the dock, you probably can't find it, maybe it's the old table." ”

He said very reasonably, the old table refers to some places that are not well-known, but for some people they are frequented places, such as the inn of the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", a gathering place for swordsmen, but ordinary people can't reach it and don't care. It's just circulating among a certain group of people. And suddenly changed the name, changed to a specific group of people, and fewer and fewer people knew about it. Over time, it became a legend.

I asked, "Please also ask Brother Ji to tell me where the goldsmith is ......?"

"Huashi Gold Shop ...... in Huaying Village, Windy City Development Zone"

Before he finished his words, an old-fashioned Beijing jeep drove into the repair shop, kicked up a cloud of dust, and drove to the door of the simple room, he immediately stood up and got up to greet him, and two people got out of the car, with serious expressions, not very old, dyed with yellow hair, typical street gangsters. He took the initiative to open his mouth and greeted him with a good face: "Two, please ...... inside"

One of the yellow hairs interrupted Ji Shiqing's words, "No need, you know what we're here for!" The tone is very blunt, like a leader reprimanding a subordinate.

Ji Shiqing looked stunned, and shouted at his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze, bring it over." ”

Someone took out a black garbage bag from the warehouse and handed it to Huang Mao with both hands, Huang Mao opened it and looked at it, and threw it to another Huang Mao, he reached out and took it, the bag was broken, and the hundred-dollar bill inside fell down, and was blown by the wind, everywhere, except for the four of us, everyone else ran out to pick up the money, and it took a lot of effort to pick up the money back, hand it over to Huang Chao's hands, and replace it with a new garbage bag.

Huang Mao said: "Lao Ji, there is more." ”

Ji Shiqing took out a booklet from his body and gave it to Huang Mao as well.

After Huang Mao took it, he turned around and left.

Ji Shiqing watched the two yellow hairs leave, "Phew, X your mother, wait, one day, Lao Tzu wants you to send them to the west one by one!" ”

I sat down and didn't get up, and asked, "Is this a fee?" ”

Ji Shiqing picked up the cheap liquor and took a big sip, and said indignantly: "Fuck, if you just collect some money." They're just a bunch of vampires. Brother, I won't lie to you, it's almost the New Year, I calculated two days ago, the harvest of a year is a little more than 600,000, but this group of fucking bastards has taken more than half of it. I still have more than a dozen brothers who follow me to eat, and after a year, I won't talk about the sins I suffered, and I can't fucking share much! The old man is good, the windy city Hai Rui and even part of the provincial city are supported by no less than a few hundred people, lying down and counting money every day, and there is no need to take risks...... I don't have money in my hands, I can't expand my strength, and if I don't have strength, I can't do it with the old man, and thinking about it makes people angry! ”

I comforted: "Brother Ji, the old man is too large, if you want to resist, it is impossible, and you will be destroyed in minutes." ”

Ji Shiqing sighed, "Who said it wasn't!" Hai Rui, there are many people like me in Windy City, and they are very angry with the old man, but if you think about it carefully, if you leave this place and go to other provinces and cities, the result will be the same, maybe you will be bullied even more. Speaking of which, he seemed to have something unspeakable.

Actually, I know what he wants to say.

If he doesn't speak, I can't mention it.

After a moment, he plucked up his courage and said, "Brother, I know that you are from the Blue Dao, and there is definitely no shortage of money in the Blue Dao, I have a ...... Request! ”

I said, "Brother Ji, please speak." ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll just say it, I want to borrow some money from my brother, and when it's the New Year, my brother will also celebrate the New Year." The most important thing is that I want to buy the people around the old man, every year during the Chinese New Year, we still have to go to the meeting, I want to find a way, during the New Year's visit, I can not only win prestige, but also kill the old man, I am the boss. ”

After I heard this, I was very surprised, Ji Shiqing was very ambitious and wanted to reach the sky in one step.

If it is a business, except for those written into the criminal law, no business can suddenly become bigger.

But in the rivers and lakes, anything can happen, and ants can swallow elephants!

I thought for a moment, "How much does Brother Ji need?" ”

He slowly stretched out a finger, "One million!" ”

For Lan Dao Lao Qian, one million is really not much. But I don't have that much money right now. Even if we come to gamble, I can't guarantee that much money.

There are too many places where I need money, and besides, lending Ji Shiqing money is also gambling.

One million is not much, but it is not a lot, it is unlikely that Ji Shiqing will donate money and escape, but I will be afraid that he will fold in the New Year's visit.

Seeing that I hesitated, he said, "Brother, if you are embarrassed, 500,000 yuan is fine, as long as I become an old man, I will pay back the money!" ”

I shook my head, "Brother Ji, money is not an issue. But what I'm thinking about is your safety, the old man can sit in today's position, and he is by no means an idle person, if you want to open a knife on him, you must have a comprehensive method, you can attack and retreat. In this way, when I am done with the door, I will discuss with Brother Ji again, money, within three days, I will have someone send it to you. ”

Ji Shiqing was overjoyed, "Brother Tong, if I become an old man, my pit will be half of yours!" ”

I said, "Brother Ji, don't talk about ideals now, think of a way first, I came here today to ask you about someone." ”

"Who!"

"It's Zhang Xuanzi who intercepted the road, you should know him very well, I want to know everything about him."

"That's no problem, I'll ask someone to bring some food, and we'll talk while we eat."
