Chapter 257: Exposed, then we won't be friends

I looked left and right.

Luo Heng did not stop on the river beach.

Following the weeds on the river beach, I quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Soon a secluded section of the city wall was found.

Jump into the city again.

As soon as I entered the city, I immediately noticed that the atmosphere in Anqing City was very different from before.

Obviously, what happened at the riverside pier.

The Anqing Mansion probably knew.

As the throat of the Yangtze River.

There are more new troops stationed in Anqing Prefecture than in Nanchang.

According to the practice of the Qing court's newly organized army, the number of people in the first association was about 8,000.

Each association is divided into two bids, and only one new army of people is stationed in Nanchang Prefecture, that is, 7,000 people.

But Anqing is a real new army.

In addition, there is also a battalion of sailors outside the city, and an unknown number of green battalion soldiers and horses.

There are tens of thousands of people anyway.

At this time, although there was no such noise as in Nanchang, the whole city was searched.

There were also groups of soldiers on the streets, blocking almost every intersection and watching the pedestrians on the streets.

Luo Heng has a spiritual sense that can give early warning.

In addition, his hearing and vision are far beyond ordinary people, but he is not afraid that these soldiers will catch him.

It's just that he is thinking about Su Can who was injured and fled.

The battle with Li Mubai when he was in Nanchang.

Let Luo Heng understand that he is still just a beginner supernatural power.

Dealing with a master like them doesn't play much role after losing the unexpected effect for the first time.

As the leader of the beggar gang, Su Can not only sleeps Luohan Fist and Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending.

There are so many beggars to learn, if he wants to learn, it is very simple.

That light skill is only slightly worse than Li Mubai.

If only wait for him to recover from his injuries.

The next time I meet him, I want to sneak attack with the hum two blowing technique, I'm afraid I can't help him.

It's better to take advantage of Su Can's injury this time to completely solve this trouble.

Before finding Su Can, Luo Heng didn't plan to cause any trouble.

lest he be dragged hand and foot, Su Can also ran away in shock, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Looking at the newly changed windbreaker on his body, Luo Heng frowned slightly.

Moments later, Luo Heng appeared in a bazaar.

Lowering the brim of his hat, he unobtrusively entered a tailor's shop.

"This boy, do you want to make clothes or buy cloth?"

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw someone entering the door, he greeted him warmly.

Seeing Luo Heng dressed up, he was slightly stunned.

Luo Heng frowned slightly.

Throw out two silver dollars.

"I want to make two robes urgently, how long will it take to make them at the earliest?"

The boss took the silver dollar, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know what style the guest wants?" ”

"Do you have pen and paper?"

Soon the boss fetched a pen and paper.

Luo Heng drew a picture according to the style of the Taoist robe in his impression.

In the past, when he was making games, he had seen a lot of pictures.

It may not be possible to ask him to draw the dimensions strictly.

It's pretty simple to just draw a rough grass pattern.

Luo Hengxuan's style is very simple.

He handed it to the boss and said, "Can you do this?" By the way, it's better to be loose with my body shape.

"Well, it's about two feet taller than me, and I can wear it without affecting my movement......"

The boss was confused by Luo Heng's strange request.

There was a blank look in his eyes.

However, under Luo Heng's silver dollar offensive.

I still promised to make one in the afternoon for Luo Heng's reference.

If you are satisfied, you will make a few more pieces later.

In these years, tailors are all handmade, and it is not easy to sew a dress in a hurry, and it is still so big.

The boss shouted out a teenage thin apprentice at the back, and ordered: "You go to Zongyangmen, find your Ermao senior brother, and ask him to come over to help......

Willing to spend a few silver dollars to make a dress, if you are satisfied, you will have to make a few more pieces of the same style later.

No matter how you look at it, it is also a big customer.

The boss is very eager to complete Luo Heng's business.

So I want to find my apprentice who has already graduated from the teacher to come back and help.

Luo Heng doesn't have any opinions, no matter who does it, anyway, as long as he makes clothes that satisfy him.

Sit in a hardwood circle chair.

Sip the hot tea that the boss has courteously offered.

Luo Heng squinted and thought about his own thoughts.

Su Can is injured, where will he hide?

I am a stranger from other places, and the whole city is still looking for my own soldiers.

It is too difficult to find the old guy alone in Anqing City, Nuoda.

The best way to do this is to find a local gang.

Or...... People who specialize in this kind of work help.

There are many people in the gang, and their ability to do things is also uneven.

As for the professionals?

Looking for someone to take people, there is a good candidate, that is Xu Baijiu, who is in the Anqing Mansion.

As the leader of the soap class, he was working on the street every day.

Familiar with the three religions and nine streams on the street.

If you want to find an injured old beggar, it is most suitable.

Luo Heng squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that he should go to Xu Baijiu and have a good talk with him.

Although that guy is jealous and hateful, he believes that the law is greater than the sky, and he will not tolerate criminals.

But it's not the kind of stubborn character who is upright and doesn't know how to return.

Whether it is in the movie, Tang Long, who is known as Liu Jinxi, was discovered, although Xu Baijiu has been tracking and trying many times.

exposed Tang Long's disguise, but finally learned Tang Long's true identity.

He also helped Tang Long to pierce the acupuncture point with a golden needle, trying to fake his death to conceal the other people of the seventy-two earths.

and also spent twenty taels of silver himself to buy a plate plate from a greedy official.

And last time, after the butcher's murder.

Luo Heng knew very well that Xu Baijiu had already doubted his identity.

After appearing as an interviewer.

Luo Heng dealt with his little lie, and it was impossible to hide it from Xu Baijiu, who was experienced in investigating cases.

However, Xu Baijiu did not turn his face at that time.

Instead, he pretended not to recognize Luo Heng.

All this shows that Xu Baijiu is not the kind of person who is stubborn and obedient.

His philosophy is that the arrest of criminals is the punishment they deserve.

In a way.

Xu Baijiu's code of conduct is somewhat similar to Luo Heng.

Luo Heng also doesn't believe that if the bad guy puts down the butcher's knife, he can turn back, and he needs to be given a chance to be a good person.

Luo Heng felt that as long as he made a condition that he couldn't refuse, Xu Baijiu should agree to help!

"Master......"

"Hey, you're here? Ermao, come here...... This is a big job, and guests need to make a sample dress before it gets dark in the afternoon......"

From outside, a young man wearing a melon skin hat came in.

It looks like he's in his twenties, listening to the conversation.

It was the apprentice of the tailor shop owner.

As the two spoke, they began to get busy.

Luo Heng's eyebrows were slightly raised.

found that Ermao, who had just entered the door, was beating significantly faster when he saw himself, which was very wrong.

Turn your head to stare at the other person.

In his twenties, he is less than 1.7 meters tall.

This head is normal in this era, and it is rare to see a big man like Luo Heng, who is more than one meter and eight.

The body is thin, and the face is white and beardless.

With a slightly hunched back, he stood with the owner of the tailor's shop, working absentmindedly.

found that Luo Heng looked a little flustered when he was looking at him......

Wrong! Something is wrong!

Luo Heng put down the teacup and slowly walked to the two of them.

The boss had already picked out a piece of blue-black cotton.

Lines are being drawn on it with plaster blocks to draw the dimensions that need to be cut.

I found Luo Heng coming.

Hurriedly bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Guest, this is the villain's apprentice, he has been out of the school for two years, you can rest assured, the craftsmanship is absolutely first-class in Anqing City."

"Because you are in a hurry, I called him back to help, young man, he works with his hands and feet......"

Luo Heng nodded slightly.

didn't speak, pretended to be curious, and just watched the two of them work.

This time, Ermao became even more panicked, and even took the wrong tool several times.

"Ermao, what's the matter with you? Doing things so frizzy? ”

"Master, I'm a little unwell, maybe I have a bad stomach at noon, so I'll go to a thatched house first......"

Ermao covered his stomach and ran to the backyard.

The boss scolded: "The lazy donkey has a lot of and urine on work, hurry up, this job is very urgent......"

Luo Heng didn't speak, and a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This guy obviously can't hide it.

That's a big problem!

The tailor's shop is not big.

Pretending to be bored in the house, he paced out of the door to breathe.

The boss did not doubt him and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

Luo Heng paid attention to the movement in the backyard.

Quietly walked out of the shop and went around to a side alley.

Don't wait a moment.

A figure climbed the wall.

Just poked out his head, and happened to see Luo Heng.

Frightened, his face changed.

As soon as his hands are loosened, he will fall back into the courtyard.

Luo Hengwei leaned over, a big hand reached out, directly pinched this guy's neck, and lifted it up.

"Ah...... Uh......"

Instinctively wanted to scream, Luo Heng's palm was slightly strengthened, and he pinched this guy.

Jump off the wall and slam the guy to the ground.

Luo Heng sneered: "Did you go up to the wall this time?" ”

Ermao panicked.

Hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "Uncle spare his life." ”

"Say, what do you want to do?"

"Little ...... Villain ......"

Ermao's eyes dripped.

Luo Heng didn't have the heart to waste too much time on this kind of small role.

Directly pierced: "Do you recognize me? Want to go out and report to the police? ”

Ermao's complexion changed, and he knew that he couldn't hide it.

Immediately kowtowed: "The villain lard is blinded and begs the uncle to spare his life." ”

Luo Heng squinted slightly: "It stands to reason that it is human nature to be greedy for silver. I understand you very well. ”

Ermao was delighted, nodded anxiously, and was about to say something.

Luo Heng sneered: "But if you want this money, you should understand, and at the same time, you have to bear the risks, and it is not a grievance to die......

Ermao was frightened and cried: "Uncle spare ...... life"

Luo Heng frowned: "I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer honestly, maybe I can spare you." ”

Ermao hurriedly said: "Uncle, just ask." ”

"There is a fast catcher named Xu Baijiu in the yamen, do you know where his family lives?"

Xu ...... Xu Bantou? Ermao was stunned, and immediately replied: "The villain knows that his family lives outside the Zongyangmen Market, after the villain is out of school."

"I set up a small stall over there, and I can see him every day......"

Luo Heng nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else in his house?" ”

Ermao immediately replied: "Xu Bantou's family, there is also an old mother, the clothes are all made by the villain, and she is quite familiar with the villain......

"Lead the way."

"Huh?"

"Take me to Xu Bantou's house, if you want to cheat, Lao Tzu will kill you with one shot."

Luo Heng directly took out a pistol and lit it up in front of this guy.

Deal with such little people.

Sometimes the deterrent power of firearms is more effective than telling him how powerful his kung fu is.

Next.

Luo Heng and Ermao walked out of the backyard together.

"I'm going to buy something else in the Zongyangmen Market, ask this kid to lead the way, and come back to pick up the clothes before dark......"

Luo Heng only briefly explained.

Under the strange gaze of the shopkeeper, Luo Heng casually took a long shirt customized by other customers from the shop and changed it on.

Throw the boss two silver dollars.

Also ignore the boss's reaction.

led Ermao out of the door together.

When the junior apprentice came to call Ermao before, it didn't take long to go back and forth.

It shows that the Zongyangmen market is not far away.

Ermao is familiar with the terrain and picks the narrow and cramped lanes.

There are also several shops in the middle, bypassing street intersections.

Save yourself from bumping into the eyes of the soldiers all over the street.

Soon they came to the door of a small building with blue brick walls.

"Uncle, this is the Xu family......"

Ermao pointed to a closed wooden doorway.

"Call the door." Luo Heng nodded.

Ermao didn't dare to grind, and stepped forward to knock the knocker.

A moment later, a greeting came from inside the door: "Which one?" What's the matter? ”

A thick dialect made Luo Heng frown a little.

Creak!

The wooden door opens from the inside.

A rather wealthy old lady peeked her head out of the door.

Luo Heng smiled kindly: "Auntie, I have something to do with Xu Bantou, I don't know if he is at home?" ”

The old lady heard that she was looking for her son.

Shaking his head, he said: "He went on an errand, you have to look for him, go to the yamen to find him......"

As he spoke, he wanted to close the door.

Luo Hengyi stretched out his hand and pressed against the door panel.

The old lady's face changed.

The Xu family is an ancestral official for generations.

In Xu Baijiu's generation, he got a job as the head of the soap class.

Investigating cases outside can offend many people.

I thought that there was an enemy who was offended by Xu Baijiu coming to the door today.

Instinctively, he put his hands against the door panel and opened his mouth to shout.

The strength in Luo Heng's hand, how can an old lady withstand it?

With only a slight force, he forcibly opened the door.

Without waiting for the old lady to shout.

A finger is placed on the back of his neck.

The old lady's body weakened and she fainted directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Ermao by the door turned his head and wanted to run away.

Luo Heng reached out, grabbed this guy's neck, and dragged him directly into the house.

Boom!

The wooden door was closed again.

Inside the house, Ermao was shivering.

Luo Heng frowned and ordered: "Help people up and go in......"

How dare Ermao say anything else?

hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Mrs. Xu.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Heng, who was following behind, raised his hand.

Gently tap on the back of Ermao's head.

Ermao fell in response.

Luo Hengtan took the old lady Mao......

Since the rebellion between the army and the bandits, the Anqing Mansion has not been so lively for many years.

Stationed around Anqing, the sailor battalion, the new military camp, the green battalion, and a miscellaneous military camp from the Twist Army Zhao'an.

Almost all the officers above the middle rank of the battalion.

At this time, they had all gathered in the palace.

The military generals who came in and out outside the gate were in an endless stream.

A small team leader like Xu Baijiu.

Half a day in the yamen, there was no place to stand.

With a few brothers, not far from the yamen, I found a noodle stall on the street to sit.

"Xu Tou, what kind of person do you say is that twisted hair demon Luo Heng? Why can't you get along with our braids? ”

The topic between several people is inseparable from the main reason for the chaos that happened today.

Xu Baijiu glanced at this subordinate angrily.

Said lightly: "Luo Heng? Maybe you've seen it before. ”

The subordinate was stunned and was about to ask again.

saw Xu Baijiu's eyes condensed slightly, looking at the gate.

Everyone was curious and turned their heads to look over.

I saw a beggar who looked to be only eight or nine years old, trotting over.

The crowd didn't understand what was going on.

He had already arrived at the table and bowed to Xu Baijiu.

"Master Xu, someone asked me to give this to you, saying that there is something at home and I want you to go back as soon as possible......"

Xu Baijiu looked at the object in the little beggar's hand.

His gaze froze.

I saw an old peach hairpin lying in the dirty palm.

There were two plum blossoms engraved on it, and Xu Baijiu recognized it at a glance that it was the jewelry he made for the old lady.

Looking up at the little beggar: "Who gave this to you?" ”

The little beggar said: "It's a tall uncle, who gave a piece of foreign dollars, and asked the little one to send this over......"

Xu Baijiu's face was gloomy: "Did he say anything?" ”

"The uncle said that as long as the villain gave this to Xu Ye and let Xu Ye go home, he didn't say anything else."

"Xu Tou? Is there anyone who doesn't open his eyes and finds his home? Brothers, this is ......."

As he spoke, several servants at the same table got up one after another.

Like them, they take people on the streets and catch murderers.

I have encountered retaliation against people at home in the past.

So people quickly thought about it.

Xu Baijiu's eyes changed, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He shook his head at everyone and said, "You can sit in peace, I made this hairpin for a neighbor's child, and that child is very naughty, maybe he is messing around."

"I'll go back and see how it goes......"

Everyone was a little suspicious.

But since Xu Baijiu said so.

It's hard for everyone to say anything more.

Xu Baijiu got up and walked in the direction of home.

As soon as he turned an intersection, his face immediately turned cold.

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

The pace of his feet is also a few points faster.

A moment later.

Outside the Zongyangmen Market.

The wooden door creaked and was pushed open.

Xu Baijiu raised his eyes and saw Luo Heng with a golden knife, sitting in the main hall of his house.

"Luo Heng, what happened to your mother?"

Xu Baijiu gasped for breath, and along the way, he almost ran back.

There is still an unsolved poison on his body, which is only suppressed by the golden needle.

Xu Baijiu's kung fu is not able to play fifty percent.

At this time, the vigorous movement made his face red.

His forehead was wet with sweat.

Luo Heng chuckled: "Don't be nervous, your mother is fine, the old man is not energetic, and he just fell asleep......"

Where is Xu Baijiu willing to listen to Luo Heng's nonsense?

Hurriedly stepped forward, and found that the old lady was sitting on a chair, her head drooping.

Hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.

Fortunately, there is still an undulating breath in the chest.

Xu Baijiu quickly determined that the old lady was fine, so he was a little relieved......

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, don't worry, please sit down, let's talk slowly......"

Luo Heng took a good time to invite the stall.

Xu Baijiu's complexion changed.

Hesitantly sat on a chair next to the old lady.

Luo Heng chuckled and said: "I'm looking for you to do me a favor, find an old man with a gunshot wound called Hanako."

"I look like I'm in my fifties, and I look sloppy......"

"You're talking about Lord Su Cansu, the Eight Mansions Patrol, right?"

Without waiting for Luo Heng to finish speaking, Xu Baijiu opened his mouth and interrupted.

Luo Heng was stunned and smiled: "Oh? You know all about it? That's right, do you know where he is? ”

"Why should I tell you?"

"You don't have to help with this, but then we won't be friends!"

Luo Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Raise your hand gently...... (End of chapter)
