Chapter 73: Mountains and Rivers, No Way Out (5)
As soon as Qian Qianhu said this, his sleepless attention was immediately attracted by it, and he listened carefully with a frown, for fear of missing important details.
Zhou Xian also frowned and said, "Luo Fanxi? But what about Luo Fanxi, a tea merchant in Anhua County? ”
Qian Qianhu said: "The surname Luo is rare, and the name of Fanxi is even rarer, if it is not Luo Fanxi in Anhua County, who else can there be?" ”
Zhou Xian frowned and said, "A while ago, I heard rumors that this Luo Fanxi is dead. Well, what's the use of appeasing adults who need a clue from a dead man? ”
Qian Qianhu looked at him with slanted eyes and said with a smile: "How do I know his thoughts?" I'm not a roundworm in his stomach. ”
But after being silent for a while, he still said something that he had already mastered: "Liu Feng revealed to me that the Lord of the Suppression Envoy was only looking for clues to Luo Fanxi because of the promise of a certain big man in the capital. If you can successfully get the clues and inform him, the big man in the capital will open the joint, promote the pacification envoy, and serve as the northern town of Jinyiwei.
After the pacification envoy got the promise, he promised me that if he could catch Zhang Daqiu, he could be promoted with him and serve in the capital. At the beginning, I only thought it was a cake drawn by the pacification envoy, and the promotion was just a flower in the water and a moon in the mirror. But Liu Feng bluntly said the name of the big man, so that even if I don't believe in promotion, I don't dare to easily offend that big man. ”
Speaking of this, he snorted hatefully, looked back at Ye Sleepless, and said, "It's only because of this that I saved this thief's life!" ”
Sleepless at night listened attentively, and was glared at by this Qian Qianhu, and he was not angry, but he just thought it was quite funny.
Secretly said: "No wonder you didn't kill me, it's because there are big people above who want me by name." The idea of avenging his son is no match for the temptation of promotion after all. ”
Zhou Xian nodded, as smart as he was, of course he would not ask who the "big man in Beijing" mentioned by Qian Qianhu was, nor would he ask what Luo Fanxi's clues were, how could he arouse the interest of the big man in Beijing.
He just said: "From the Nanjing Pacification Envoy, he has jumped to the Beijing Township Envoy, and he is also the most powerful Northern Envoy, no wonder the Pacification Envoy is so crazy...... Hehe, I want to capture this thief alive. ”
Suddenly remembered that in order to be promoted, Qian Qianhu even did not take revenge for killing his son - such an act is even more crazy than the pacification envoy.
So he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Qian Qianhu, the problem is, if you want clues about Luo Fanxi, why should you be obsessed with Zhang Daqiu?" I heard that the Luofan Creek has a wide range of acquaintances, and there are many old acquaintances. Let's just grab a few of them and interrogate them, won't we? ”
Qian Qianhu asked rhetorically: "Just grab a few for interrogation?" Is the clue asked like that worth the promise of a promotion to the big man in Beijing? ”
Zhou Xian looked suddenly awakened, nodded wildly and said, "This is an empowerment of the lowly position." Presumably, in Zhang Daqiu's hands, there must be a special clue about Luo Fanxi, which is why it is so valued by that big man. ”
Qian Qianhu looked up at the sky and said, "Although you are salted fish, your understanding is good." As you mentioned, Zhang Daqiu may have important special clues about Luo Van Creek. ”
"Also...... Maybe? Zhou Xian said entangledly, "It's just 'unnecessary', to spend so much effort to transfer troops?" ”
Qian Qianhu glanced at him and said, "Isn't 'unnecessary' enough?" Even Prince Yue died on this charge, not to mention a thief? ”
He did not shy away from it, and patiently explained to Zhou Baihu: "Of course, in order to avoid wasting our efforts, we still sent someone in advance to forge Luo Fanxi's handwriting, imitate his tone of writing, and write a letter to this thief. If this thief Kou Guo connects with the so-called Wu Zhangshi as stated in the letter, we can be 100% sure that Zhang Daqiu must have the important clue of Luo Fanxi.
In this way, we took down this thief under the pretext of suppressing the bandit at the time of the joint. At the same time, it can also prevent the thief from quibbling afterwards that he did not know the clue in order to confuse the public. ”
Qian Qianhu coldly pointed at the sleepless night and said, "If it weren't for that, how could this thief be worth the help of so many of us?" Cao Baihu, who was sent undercover in advance, could directly raze his black elk gang to the ground with a few thousand catties of explosives from the secret Chen Cang. ”
After speaking, a person next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Qian Qianhu is very right!" Cao Mou had already gone undercover in the Black Elk Gang, and he became one of the Thirteen Taibao. And used this identity to deceive hundreds of little minions to be busy, carrying explosives up the mountain, and digging their own graves. When I think about it now, I still think it's funny! ”
Sleepless at night, he secretly looked at this Cao Baihu, and when he saw him, although he had changed into the costume of Jinyi Wei Baihu, it was not difficult to recognize that he was one of the thirteen minions appointed by himself before.
Zhou Xian showed a look of admiration, and arched his hand towards Qian Qianhu: "Qian Qianhu, high, really high, your layout, even if you think about it together, you can't think of it." ”
Qian Qianhu stroked his short beard, his expression was very proud.
After being silent for a while, Cao Baihu suddenly asked: "Qian Qianhu, now that you know who the big man in Beijing is, and this thief is also in our hands, why don't you directly bypass Yingtian's pacification envoy and send the thief directly to Shuntian?" Or first force Zhang Thief to ask for clues about Luo Fanxi, and then go straight to tell the big man, it's not impossible.
In this way, hehe, the position of the envoy of Beizhen, maybe you will sit down, right! Brothers? ”
Cao Baihu turned around and asked other colleagues for resonance.
As a result, everyone else looked at him like a fool, and none of them agreed. Zhou Xian even kept winking and shaking his head at him, hinting that Cao Baihu suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, when he saw Qian Qianhu's face again, he was already so heavy that he could crush the horse under the seat.
"Idiot!" Qian Qianhu reined in the horse's head and paused, and said viciously, "Although the pacification envoy is only half a grade higher than me, he is also one of the bosses, and it is a taboo for me to act without permission to seek rewards by bypassing the boss!" ”
After a pause, he asked rhetorically: "Cao Baihu, haven't you been an undercover thief for a while, and you have been involved in the drama quite deeply, and when you are used to it, you have forgotten the rules of my Jinyi Guard?" ”
Cao Baihu was shocked, hurriedly rolled off his horse, found a place that would not affect the march of others, knelt down and said: "Humble duty, humble speech, begging for money and forgiveness!" ”
Qian Qianhu didn't seem to plan to let him go easily, looking at him, his face was so cold that the air could freeze and said: "The boss assigned the task to my Qianhu, if you Cao Baihu completes it first, why don't you have to bypass a certain and go to the superior to ask for a reward?" ”
Cao Baihu was so frightened that he trembled, and kowtowed again and again: "Don't dare to be lowly, don't dare to be lowly, and know that you are wrong!" ”
