Who would want to kill an honest blacksmith?

Tang Shiyao really couldn't figure it out, not to mention that she had been by Long Shiqiu's side, and it seemed that she had never heard that Yin Zhutou mention this matter.

What she hated most in the past was using her brain, but since following Long Shiqiu, it seems that everything needs to be analyzed by herself, and what this person is best at is playing dumb riddles.

Obviously, the answer is in his heart, but he won't open his mouth easily.

What kind of stinky shelf, don't you just want me to ask you, so that you can show how powerful you are, this girl won't ask, suffocate you!

She began to carefully recall every detail after meeting Yin Fengling, until Yin Fengling put six chopsticks on the table, and the section with words in her mouth suddenly lit up.

Oni Xiao was already standing outside the door at some point.

Long Shiqiu beckoned to him and said, "Let's eat together." ”

Oni Xiao sat down and ate, he was really hungry.

"Have some wine?" Long Shiqiu poured him a glass of wine, and Ghost Xiao shook his head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tang Siniang walked in with a gust of fragrant wind, but the smile on her face was gone.

Long Shiqiu glanced at her and said, "What's wrong?"

Tang Siniang glanced at Tang Shiyao and said, "It's a coincidence today, there are a lot of people from the dart game, it won't have anything to do with you, the eldest lady of the Yuding dart game, right?"

"Who are the people here?"

Tang Siniang twisted her waist and came to Long Shiqiu's side, leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "There are three in the previous wave, it seems that they are the subordinates of the Hankou Rudder of the Youlong Gang, they have been doing the water transportation business from Hubei to Hunan, and the next five are Shi Lao Er of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, and several of them seem to have encountered a lot of trouble." ”

Long Shiqiu said with a smile: "The proprietress has good eyesight, which can be seen. ”

Tang Siniang was attached to the ear and blew like Lan Dao: "If they didn't run into big trouble, how could they alarm the Nine Finger Dao people to go out in person?"

Tang Shiyao really couldn't stand Tang Siniang's intimate appearance in front of Long Shiqiu, and said in her heart: Why is this woman so shameless, looking at that wave of energy, she must have hooked up with a lot of men, I really don't know how his man endured it to this day.

Long Shiqiu frowned and said, "Nine-fingered Daoist? is it the Yuan Tianqi who was cut off by Long Yangzi, the head of Wudang?"

Tang Siniang bowed her head and said: "It looks like they are waiting for someone, hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight." ”

Long Shiqiu said with a smile: "They should know the rules of the Linjiang Inn, even if they want to fight with people, they won't do anything to you." ”

Tang Siniang pushed Long Shiqiu's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I don't care, it's rare for you to come over, if they mess up the rules for a while, you have to stand up for me." After saying that, Gege smiled and walked out.

Tang Shiyao glanced at Long Shiqiu coldly and said, "It seems that your relationship with this boss lady is really not ordinary." ”

Long Shiqiu finally discovered that the appearance of a woman who was jealous was much more charming than usual.

But she ignored a detail, that is, Tang Siniang just mentioned about the three people from the Dragon Gang.

"Are you full?" Long Shiqiu suddenly glanced at the ghost flute.

Ghost Xiao himself was also surprised, swallowed the food and stared wide-eyed, "It's still a little close." ”

Long Shiqiu said with a smile: "You eat first, and after eating, you will do something for me." ”

Ghost Xiao immediately wiped his mouth, and there was a light in his eyes: "If you don't eat it, you can tell me anything." He knew that Long Shiqiu had asked him to do things, and he had actually accepted him by his side.

"You go to the docks now, and if you see a big ship with a yellow flag, immediately go to the hall and inform me. ”

Ghost Xiao patted his chest: "You can rest assured." With that, he strode out of the house full of joy.

Tang Shiyao was puzzled, Long Shiqiu said: "The apricot yellow flag is the symbol of the Dragon Gang's boating, just now Tang Siniang mentioned that the people of the Dragon Gang are outside, I guess they must be waiting for someone." ”

Tang Shiyao suddenly realized: "Youlong Gang, yes, yes, she mentioned the Youlong Gang just now, what are your plans?"

Long Shiqiu said lightly: "I plan to borrow the fast boat of the You Long Gang to join your father as soon as possible." ”

"Good idea!" Tang Shiyao clapped her hands and smiled: "Or you have a way, so where do we go now?"

Long Shiqiu hadn't seen her smile for a long time, and he was stunned for a while.

She probably didn't even know how charming her smile was.

Tang Shiyao saw him looking at him stupidly for the first time, her cheeks flushed, she bit her lip and said in a low voice: "What do you see, do you have words on my face." ”

Long Shiqiu coughed embarrassedly and said, "I'll take you to gamble." ”

Of course, there are no words on Tang Shiyao's face, and the words are on the gambling table.

The gambling game continued, Tang Shiyao held a silver ingot of about ten taels in her hand, and looked nervously at the words on the table.

"Bet big or bet small?" she quietly asked Long Shiqiu on the side.

"Whatever. Long Shiqiu's eyes glanced at the two tables of the Nine Fingered Daoists, and he didn't look at her at all.

Tang Shiyao "snorted" and directly put the ingot of silver on the word "small".

Anyway, it's your money that was spent, and you don't feel distressed, what am I afraid of. She suddenly figured it out in an instant.

Buying a small thing tonight is really a bit back, the dealer shook the dice cup, and Tang Shiyao's heart also rose and fell with it.

She has been a good daughter since she was a child, and although her family is well-off, she never spends a penny indiscriminately.

Because she knows that every article in the family is earned on the edge of the knife from the dart game.

I wonder if Long Shiqiu's silver came easily?

She didn't think about betting, and she wouldn't gamble, but Long Shiqiu insisted that she try, "It's mine to win or lose, what are you afraid of?"

"Open" the dealer opens the dice cup, it is really small!

Tang Shiyao clapped her hands happily and said, "Win!"

Long Shiqiu encouraged: "Go on." ”

The second one she bought was big, and it turned out to be really big.

So twenty-two became forty.

Tang Shiyao was as happy as a child, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pressed all forty taels bigger.

"Three, four, five, big. The dealer sighed and pushed a large amount of silver in front of Tang Shiyao.

Tang Shiyao proudly held eighty taels of silver and turned around, and suddenly found that Long Shiqiu was gone. Not only was he gone, but even the Nine-Fingered Daoist who had just sat in the corner was gone.

Tang Shiyao hurriedly put the silver taels in her hand on the counter, and Tang Siniang smiled lightly and said, "Miss Tang has such good luck, why don't you play a few more?"

"What about others?" Tang Shiyao was reluctant to talk to her more.

Tang Siniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Yo, you are in a hurry to find him for a while?"

There are two large boats moored on the dock, one of which seems to have just docked.

The ship was two stories high, with more than a dozen men in strong suits lined up at the end of the boat, all carrying sabers at their waists and fighting with open fire. On the bow flagpole, a triangular apricot yellow flag waving in the wind.

In the center of the wide deck of the bow was a long red lacquered table, and under the light of the lamp, three people were talking around the table, two of them were Yuan Tianqi, the head of the Nine-Fingered Dao, and Shi Donglai, the second leader of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau.

Sitting opposite the two of them was a big man with a round face and a wide mouth and a beard, this person was Song Yukun, the helmsman of the Hankou branch of the Youlong Gang, and he only heard him say loudly: "Daochang Yuan, the incident happened suddenly, Song has already sent a pigeon to inform the chief rudder, vowing to find out about this matter." ”

Shi Donglai, the second leader of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau on the side, echoed: "In the past few days, the water and land darts in Hubei have been robbed one after another, and Yuan Daochang is not only a senior, but also a friend with my eldest brother, you can't sit idly by and watch this matter." ”

Yuan Tianqi pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it seems that this matter is so strange from the poor road." ”

Shi Donglai was puzzled: "What do you mean by senior?"

Yuan Tianqi said: "Do you remember the last time the Dongting Lake Jade Ding Dart Bureau was robbed?"

Song Yukun said: "This bird matter has already spread all over the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know? ”

Shi Donglai suddenly said: "What does the Taoist mean is that the person who robbed our dart silver is the same group as the one who robbed the Yuding Dart Bureau last time?"

Yuan Tianqi nodded and said, "Could it be that last time they robbed the dart silver of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau and deliberately blamed the Youlong Gang, which caused Hong Guangrui to fight with the Youlong Gang?"

Song Yukun patted his thigh and said: "That's right, Hong Laosan was only determined that it was the Youlong Gang who robbed the dart silver with the weapon engraved with the word 'Youlong', and his pig brain didn't want to think about it, who the fuck would make a marked blade to do such a thing?"

Shi Donglai frowned and said: "If the last time the other party robbed the dart silver to blame your gang, then how can you explain the successive events that have happened in the past half a month? As far as I know, there have been cases of dart silver being robbed in the dart bureaus of various provinces these days, who has such a huge strength to commit crimes all over the country at the same time?"

Yuan Tianqi pondered for a long time and said, "So far, there are two things that I can't figure out. First, looking at the rivers and lakes, who has the strength to dispatch so many masters to commit crimes? Second, why does the other party only rob the dart silver, but rarely hurt people's lives?

"It seems that the Taoist leader has said one more thing!" a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the three of them.

The three of them were shocked, and a figure in front of them had already floated down the bow of the ship.

"Who dares to eavesdrop here!" Song Yukun slapped the table, and the subordinates on the ship showed their blades one after another, just waiting for the helmsman to give an order.

"Master Song doesn't need to be excited, he just came to help. As he spoke, the man walked before the three men.

Song Yukun looked at it carefully and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you are also interested in the topic you just talked about." ”

Song Yukun was about to attack, and Yuan Tianqi, the head of the Nine-Fingered Dao, suddenly raised his hand to stop it, and glanced at the visitor: "My friend has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The corners of this man's mouth lifted and said, "I want to ask how many silver taels have been robbed by the Dragon Gang and the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau this time?"

Song Yukun glanced at Yuan Tianqi and said angrily: "Fifty thousand taels." ”

The visitor smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that with so much silver, even if you dig a pit and bury it, you have to dig it all day?"

Yuan Tianqi suddenly woke up and said, "That's right, how did Poor Dao forget this stubble." After carefully examining the visitor, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me your name?"

The person who came smiled and said lightly: "The surname is Long, Long Shiqiu!"
