Zhu said that he was resolute and resolute, and in order to solve the doubts in his heart, he briefly communicated with Jiang Zhixian, and then planned to go to Li Chunlin's former residence. Jiang Zhixian nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange for a servant to go with you." ”

Zhu Shuo shook his head and said, "There are not many people who know me now, and if you bring a servant over, it will be easy to startle the snake." ”

Jiang Zhixian thought about it, leaned to Zhu Shuo's side, and said mysteriously: "There is a person named Ding Xiaowu, who is in his early twenties, and his family sells breakfast. I specially arranged for him to be on the west side of the city to monitor the situation on the Yiyang Gang's side, then Li Chunlin's home happens to be in the west of the city, you can join him. Rest assured, he can be trusted. ”

Zhu Shuo nodded, and went to the west of the city, the address of Li Chunlin's house. Zhu said that according to the location recorded in the archives, Li Chunlin's home was found. Zhu said that he didn't know what Li Chunlin's house was like before, but what was presented in front of him now was a wide single courtyard. On the top of the magnificent mahogany gate, there are two words Guo Mansion, only from the outside, you can see the luxurious two-story small building inside, and the other houses adjacent to it to the left and right, and between Guo Mansion, are separated by an aisle of about a zhang, Zhu said that he was a little unhappy in his heart, and muttered: "Such a luxurious mansion, I don't know how many people have been oppressed." ”

Zhu said that he found a tea shed nearby and sat down, ordered a pot of herbal tea, and watched the movement of Guo's mansion. Although there are occasional entries and exits, there are no other anomalies. The proprietress of the tea shed put herbal tea and some food on the table, Zhu Shuo stopped the proprietress and asked, "Boss, there used to be a man named Li Chunlin here, do you know?" ”

When the proprietress heard Li Chunlin's name, she showed a regretful expression on her face and said, "Why don't you know each other?" That Guo Mansion, the place in the middle, used to be his home. But, alas~"

Zhu said, "Oh? Then why is it Guo Mansion now? ”

The proprietress said: "This year ago, Li Chunlin owed Guo Lao Er money, and in the end, he had to pay off the family's house and land. It's a shame. ”

"Guo Lao Er?"

"Oh, I don't know you're from out of town. There is a Yiyang Gang in our city, now the gang leader is called Guo Renjie, he has a younger brother, called Guo Zixiong, people in the past, they all called him Guo Er, and now he is a little capable, so let others call him Mr. Guo Er, it's really a pig's nose with green onions, pretending to be an elephant. ”

"That's right. Then why do you say it's a pity? ”

"Then Li Chunlin's family used to live opposite my house. To say that he is a self-motivated person who works diligently, in those years, he earned some money and renovated his family's old house. Later, he owed Guo Lao Er five hundred taels of silver. For this matter, he got the government, and the government finally sentenced him to return the money to Guo Laoer, how could he have so much silver, he was not allowed to give his family's house and land to Guo Laoer. Alas, damn it, she was not in good health, and she was angry because of this. ”

"Then do you know how he owes this Guo Zixiong?"

"I heard that I was gambling in the casino, and when I lost, I borrowed it, and in the end, somehow, I borrowed five hundred taels." The proprietress recalled.

"Thank you, lady, you have a good tea." As he spoke, Zhu Shuo picked up the tea bowl, took a big sip, and settled the tea money before leaving. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, the official Lao Zhang. Zhu Shuo hurriedly sat down and covered himself with other people's bodies to prevent Lao Zhang from recognizing him. Lao Zhang looked at the aisle next to Guo's mansion, and after making sure that there was no problem, he ran in quickly.

Zhu Shuo got up and ran to the aisle, slowly leaned in, only to see a side door next to Guo's mansion open, and Zhang Yashi walked in. Zhu said that he was puzzled, "Why is that Zhang Ya here?" Zhu said that there was no reason to enter Guo's mansion, so he had to leave. Thinking as you walk, Yiyang Gang. Immediately, thinking of what Jiang Zhixian said about Ding Xiaowu, he asked along the road and walked to the door of the Yiyang Gang. He looked around, diagonally opposite the gate of the Yiyang Gang, there was a young man, who was packing up and selling breakfast, looking towards the gate of the Yiyang Gang while cleaning.

A middle-aged woman said in a complaining tone, "Little Five! Hurry up and clean up, clean up, and help your brother pick tea in the afternoon. ”

After Zhu said that after hearing it, he confirmed that this person should be Ding Xiaowu said by Jiang Zhixian.

Ding Xiaowu said: "Mother! I have something to do in the afternoon! ”

The middle-aged woman was full of anger and said, "What are you doing in the afternoon?" sent you to study martial arts for a few years, and let you go to the county government to be a servant, but it didn't take long for the family to get out, and you said you could do something! ”

Zhu Shuo leaned over and shouted at Ding Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, the thing you told me is almost over, let's go and see it together in the afternoon." ”

Ding Xiaowu didn't know Zhu Shuo, and looked at him suspiciously. Zhu Shuo walked over, put an arm on Ding Xiaowu's shoulder very affectionately, and whispered, "Jiang Zhixian asked me to come." ”

When Ding Xiaowu heard this, he reacted, "Really! Then let's go check it out in the afternoon. ”

Ding's mother asked, "Little Wu, who is this?" ”

"Yes, this is," Ding Xiaowu couldn't answer.

Zhu said that he politely made a bow to Ding's mother and said, "Hello, aunt." That's right, I'm friends with Xiao Wu, so he asked me to help him find a job. There happened to be an old man who wanted to find a powerful porter, so I called Xiao Wu and asked him to try it. The wages are still good. ”

When Ding's mother saw that Zhu said that he looked good and was polite, she was convinced of what he said, and said with a smile: "Really? That's good, you take Xiao Wu to try, he doesn't have any other skills, just a little strength, you can find a job for him. ”

"Okay." Zhu replied.

Ding Xiaowu packed up his things and put them in the flat pole, and Ding's mother happily carried the flat pole and left. After Ding's mother left, Ding Xiaowu immediately changed his face and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhu said: "I am the master recruited by the county magistrate, and my name is Zhu Shuo." ”

Ding Xiaowu didn't believe it and asked, "Oh? Why should I believe you? ”

Zhu said: "Jiang Zhixian arranged for you to spy on the Yiyang Gang, do others know?" ”

Ding Xiaowu recalled that time. Jiang Zhixian told him that he took advantage of the disturbance that day, pretended to drive him out of the county office, and let him be outside to monitor the situation of the Yiyang Gang. Only Jiang Zhixian and Ding Xiaowu knew about this, and there would definitely be no third one who knew about it. This person knows, naturally Jiang Zhixian said it. His tone softened a little and asked, "Is there anything Jiang Zhixian asked you to do?" ”

Zhu said: "This is not the place to talk, let's talk in another place." ”

Ding Xiaowu said: "Come with me, I have a place where there are few people." ”

Zhu said that he followed Ding Xiaowu to a corner, full of unpleasant smells, Zhu Shuo frowned, swept it casually, and found that this was near a pigsty. Ding Xiaowu said: "This place just overlooks the gate of the Yiyang Gang. ”

Zhu said that although he was a little resistant to this place, it was not the time to care, so he told Ding Xiaowu about Li Chunlin and the Lao Zhang he had just seen, and Ding Xiaowu said: "I have long suspected that Lao Zhang is not a good thing!" ”

Zhu Shuo pulled Ding Xiaowu and said, "Don't make a noise, do you have anything to find here." ”

Ding Xiaowu shook his head, "I haven't found anything since I was here in the past two days. In addition to the normal operation, the Yiyang Gang has not seen any special actions. ”

"How does this Yiyang Gang operate? What is their main income? ”

"Most of the casinos and green buildings in Xinyang City are in their names. There are also some businessmen in the gang, oh, by the way, our largest tea merchant in Xinyang County, Qian is very close to them. ”

Qian Fei is this name, Zhu said that he has heard it a long time ago, and most of the reason for coming to be this master this time is because he is not coming for this money. Zhu said: "Little Wu, didn't you follow Zhang Ya before. ”

Ding Xiaowu said, "Yes." I followed him and died. ”

Zhu said: "Then you should know the daily routine of Zhang Yashi." ”

"Roughly yes."

"Then you work harder, if you can, you can monitor Zhang Yashi's actions again."

Ding Xiaowu nodded firmly and said, "Okay!" ”

Zhu said: "In the future, every day, we will meet here and talk about your recent discoveries. After the two agreed, Zhu said goodbye to Ding Xiaowu and returned to the county office, where he now wanted to investigate another matter.

At noon, Ti forgot to bring some food back to the bamboo house, and when he saw that Li Yu was not in the main house, he walked to the room. At the door, he noticed the back of Li Yu's water tank, and said in a reprimanding tone: "Disciple, what are you doing?" ”

As soon as Li Yu heard that Ti forgot to come back, he immediately ran out, and rushed over as if he saw a savior, and said, "Master! You're back! I was almost arrested by the official today! Then he told Timoth what had happened this morning.

Forgetting a little ashamed, he said, "I didn't expect them to actually find this place." However, now that they know that I live, they probably won't come back. ”

Li Yu had palpitations and said, "This thing frightens me. Then I kept hiding, and I didn't dare to go out, for fear of bumping into them, so, those tanks of water, isn't it? ”

Ti forgot to know Li Yu's careful thoughts, and said, "Then fill them up in the afternoon." ”

Li Yu said: "Ah! Master, I still want to practice Luohan Quan in the afternoon, which you call me. ”

Forget to say: "The water has to fight, and the fist has to be practiced." Although there was an accident, what should be done still has to be done. ”

Li Yu nodded frustratedly and said, "I know." ”

Ti forgot to take the dishes and chopsticks from the room and asked Li Yu to go back to the house to eat. Li Yu and Ti Wu went back to the house to eat together, and during the meal, Ti Wu said: "Today, I saw the Hua deputy league leader in the county office, and I have to say that he really looks like a talent." ”

Li Yu ate and said naturally, "Of course." Liu Zhan, the leader of the Sworn Jiang League, looks even more magnificent! ”

Timber said, "Oh? Do you know this leader? ”

Li Yu was embarrassed and said: "His fame is big in the Central Plains, who doesn't know." By the way, Master, that person didn't notice you. Li Yu diverted the topic.

"There shouldn't be, but when people walk by the river, how can they not get their shoes wet." Originally, the county government arranged for me to take care of their daily life, but I shirked it. ”

Li Yu said: "That's good." ”

Timo got up and said, "I'm going back, I can't be out for long." ”

Li Yu was eating, and said with a grunt, "Master, then you go slowly." ”

Ti Wu looked at Li Yu who was not doing well, a little angry and a little funny, and said, "After you finish eating, clean up the table." Clean the dishes and chopsticks yourself. I'm going to check it out when I get back. Also, let's not talk about it in the morning, and fill the water tank in the afternoon. Got it? ”

"Got it." Li Yu replied. Timo left the bamboo house.
