Chapter 21: The villain holds a grudge
Since Guangling City can open the Qinglou flower boat, the gambling house is naturally not prohibited, but to make the casino prosperous, it is necessary to have extraordinary means.
Datong Casino is located in the east city, covering a large area, lively during the day and brightly lit at night.
The lobby is full of shouting, gamblers crowd in front of the gambling table to stimulate fun, not feeling stuffy at all, and there are many big men around, looking around, it should be the thugs in the casino.
In the backyard of the gambling house, Tao Xiaoguan introduced a person into the pavilion, poured him wine, and asked with a curious face: "Brother Qiu, what's the matter with your face?"
I didn't say hello to this, as soon as I asked Qiu Baibing, his face became gloomy, touched his face that had not yet been swollen, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"The gutter capsized, I will definitely get this matter back, and I have already told you that the matter of your entry into the martial arts hall has been yellow, and the silver has been returned to you, what is the matter with calling me again?"
A month ago, the entrance assessment of the Zhendong Martial Arts Hall was supposed to accept three apprentices, but Qiu Baibing only passed two people and thought about the end, because he accepted Tao Xiaoguan's silver money, and asked Qiu Baibing, who was the person of the assessment, to leave a place for him.
Besides, after Qiu Baibing ate a move to fry meat with a blade, he didn't go out of the room because his mouth was red and swollen. Originally, he didn't want to come to the Chase Casino this time, but he thought that he had received a lot of benefits from Tao Xiaoguan on weekdays, so he went out at night.
Tao Xiaoguan was not interested in Qiu Baibing's face, and the entry was yellow, and he was yellow, and with the style of the Zhendong Martial Arts Pavilion, after knowing his identity, maybe there was no good fruit to eat.
What he cares about is that he has suffered two losses, and this time he invited Qiu Baibing to come here to inquire about the leeway.
"Recently, there are disciples in the Zhendong Martial Arts Hall who have been going to catch fast? ”
mentioned that Qiu Baibing was even more angry when he caught the fast, "If you have something to say, just say it, why beat around the bush." ”
Tao Xiaoguan saw that Qiu Baibing's expression was not good, and he smiled and poured the wine again.
"The younger brother and the disciple of your pavilion have a little relationship, and when I saw that he was wearing a brocade official uniform, I wanted to inquire with you. He described the appearance of the room, and added oil and vinegar to say something hurtful.
"Leeway!?"
Qiu Baibing shouted two words angrily, he lost his face in the martial arts hall, and robbed him of the assigned position of catching fast, how could he not remember his appearance after suffering such a big loss.
"Oh, Brother Qiu has a grudge against him?"
Qiu Baibing gritted his teeth, "I will abolish this person, why are you asking him?"
"Hey, I was in love with a girl, but I didn't know that this person stepped in and humiliated me with the identity of Zhendong Wuguan and Catcher, my identity is low and it's not easy to make trouble, and my heart is bitter. Tao Yuguan's face was sad, and his eyes were turned left and right.
Qiu Baibing's eyes were contemplative, thinking that Tao Xiaoguan was the brother-in-law of the owner of the Chase Gambling House, and he also had some ability to rely on the gambling house, and if he joined forces with him to deal with him, he should have a great chance of winning.
"It seems that we both have a grudge against each other, what are you going to do?"
"He has the official body to protect him, and he is a disciple of the martial arts hall, what else can I do, if I don't die if I fight a snake, I will be bitten by a snake, I don't know what a good way Brother Qiu has?"
Tao Xiaoguan sighed again, and threw the question back to Qiu Baibing, he just wanted to find a crooked trick to teach a lesson, but seeing that Qiu Baibing had a lot of grudges with Yu Di, he had a bold idea.
Qiu Baibing's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gestured between his neck with his hand, "Then we won't do anything and finish him off." ”
Qiu Baibing has not been looking for trouble these days, because he is afraid of his skills, and now there are people who have the same hatred for the enemy, and when his brain is hot, he wants to destroy the room.
After that, the two of them set the tone, you and I discussed the countermeasures, and it was easy to deal with the death of a disciple of the Zhendong Martial Arts Pavilion, but it would be very tricky to catch a brocade cloth if it died.
... ...
The sky was gloomy, and Guangling City ushered in a shower just now, and the summer rain came and went quickly.
Yu Di came to the yamen to order, and when he walked, he heard a lot of catchers talking around him.
"Have you heard, yesterday there was a catcher on the Rouge River who shocked the audience with his poems, got on the boat of Concubine Yan, and compared the three sons of Guangling. ”
"I knew last night that I live in Nancheng, and now that poem is spread on the Rouge River and Rouge Street. ”
"Amazing, let's catch a long face quickly, I used to see those literati and scholars with their nostrils facing the sky, but now I'm finally sulking, hehe. ”
"I don't know which brocade catcher wrote the poem, and yesterday there was a catcher in many flower boats who liked to look at women's breasts, could they be the same person?"
"It's possible, everyone in Nancheng City should know the head catcher on the Rouge River, and now there is no name of the person, I think it is the head catcher from the Yamen who went there to run an errand. ”
After listening for a while, he walked towards the office room, worried in his heart, "This is a bit cracked, if they know that the person who loves to look at women's breasts is me, then my wisdom will be ruined, and maybe I will be regarded as a pervert, lustful, low-key and low-key, and I won't admit it even if I am killed." ”
Chi Xiao went to the yamen before Yu Di, saw Yu Di come in, got up and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Yu, you wrote poems on the Rouge River yesterday?"
"Shhhh Yu Di gestured with his hand to his mouth again and again, and pulled Chi Xiao to sit down inside.
Chi Xiao was investigating the case on Rouge Street all day yesterday, and when she heard about catching and composing poems, she naturally guessed that it was the right to do it, and she was curious and admired in her heart, but she didn't expect that there was such a good literary style in the room.
"Don't worry, I'm not a long-mouthed person, but I didn't expect you to have that kind of hobby. As he spoke, Ji Xiao raised the kind of smile that all men understand.
"I'm also here to investigate the case and... , forget it, don't explain, this kind of thing is getting darker and darker the more it is smeared. ”
Yanran, the big guy, wants to help find someone, and he can't make a noise, so it's not easy to confide in the reason.
Yu didn't want to talk about this matter any longer, so he changed the subject and asked, "Yesterday, did you gain anything?"
"I did find out something, there is a brothel called Hua Manlou, more than a month ago, there were three people in the building, the turtle said that first a man came in, looking for something, and made a fuss, and then came a man and woman with a sword, like a couple, to find the man. The situation of these three people is very consistent with the three people in the case, and I think they are fighting in the Li family's house. ”
Yu Di picked up the gourd on his waist and poured it into it, and turned his face away, so that Chi Xiao would not see his strange look, which would make his heart jump suddenly.
"I'm cracked, aren't they the three people who saw the air running that night? Killing people and hiding corpses must not be the lord who is good at getting along, and that person knows that I drank the bottle of soaked Jingyuan Dan wine, and took away the package with the thunder energy, my little life will definitely not be guaranteed." ”
Chi Xiao continued: "The couple with the sword, the identity is not difficult to guess, the man's black sword is like ink, and the lady's white sword is like snow, it should be the snow and ink double sword, Guo Qing and Huang Rou and his wife." ”
"Snow Ink Twin Swords, Guo Qing and Huang Rou?" Yu Di said with doubt.
"This couple is from Benlei Villa, Huang Rou is the daughter of the owner, they are chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes, leaving a lot of good reputation, the black wind and double evil who used to kill officials and slaughter villages died in their hands, and this matter has also been reported in the palace. ”
Yu Di has not been learning martial arts for a long time, and he still has a shallow understanding of the deeds on the rivers and lakes.
"They should be chasing and killing that man with superb legs, but why don't they ask the yamen for help?"
Chi Xiao shook his head, "Capable Jianghu guests love to act recklessly, and I can't guess it." I'll keep the case file in a moment and leave it to the chief catcher to decide. ”
Yu Di had something hidden in his heart, so he nodded and sat back in his seat to drink tea and read the newspaper, but his eyes kept staring at the first line of the newspaper.
"It's difficult, if you're not careful, you're going to be a monkey by someone else, and I don't know if the seven kiln sisters in the pavilion gave me out that night, it seems that I have to be low-key in the next step, and I will find a way to get through this first. ”
In the living room, Jiang Fufeng sat opposite an official, and he asked with a polite smile: "Lord Wang, I don't know what you want to do during your visit today?"
Lord Wang waved his hand again and again, "How dare you command, always catch the head and work hard, the security of this Guangling City still depends on the Bibo knife in your hand." ”
The Lord Wang in Jiang Fufeng's mouth is Wang Bin, the chief official of the Criminal Prosecution Bureau, although he is the top boss of the fast arrest in the city, he does not dare to make a mistake in front of the chief arrester.
He came here this time through his son to learn that there was a head catcher who was angry with the political envoy Liu Xin, Liu Xin released a word to teach the head catcher a lesson, in order to tie up with Liu Xi, Wang Bin came to Jiang Zhanfeng early, and he had a draft in his heart.
"Be polite, Lord Wang has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Wang Bin's face was embarrassed, "The head catcher is bold, then I will say it bluntly, some time ago, in order to suppress the bandits, Yamen Jinyi caught most of the dead and injured, it cost a lot of silver just to pay for the pension, and I heard that a lot of head catchers were recruited, so I will take a look, after all, now the treasury is tight, so I have a number in my heart, and it is good to pay the head up." ”
"This is natural, I asked them to come over to show Lord Wang, these people are all disciples of the Zhendong Martial Arts Pavilion, I pulled down my face to face the Martial Arts Pavilion Brother Zhang to come, they are all iron-boned good men. Jiang Fufeng ordered his subordinates to summon room for the eight of them to come.
Wang Bin nodded, as if he recognized his words, the Zhendong Martial Arts Hall was not in vain, and the disciples inside were all dignitaries and dignitaries who rushed to recruit them into the house and help them take care of the family.
"Also, what should the chief arrester do next in this matter of suppressing bandits?"
"This... Naturally, I will gather people and horses again, and wait for the reeds in Jiaolongdian to dry up and kill the past, the last time the bandits failed was because I was reckless, and I got lost in that large area of reeds, and I was ambushed. Jiang Yanfeng said with remorse on his face.
"This is a good way, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, why don't we send one person into Jiaolongdian to inquire about the truth of the bandits?"
Jiang Fufeng shook his head and denied, "This is too dangerous, the Jiaolong Gang is very xenophobic, and they rarely communicate with the outside world, and suddenly a stranger comes, with their cruel nature, they must be killers." ”
Wang Bin did not give up and continued to lobby, "It was because the head catcher was not alert enough in the past, so that the bandits would notice, and I heard that the Yamen had come to catch the head, and he could be civil and martial, and he would definitely be able to take on this important task." ”
"Oh, can you be civil and martial?, do you mean that yesterday you wrote poems on the Rouge River to catch fast?" Jiang Fufeng asked suspiciously, it seems that the movement caused by yesterday's events is really not small, and even the chief catcher knows it.
"Exactly, if you want to exterminate the Jiaolong Gang, there must be spies who go deep into the enemy camp to understand the truth and reality, otherwise we have always been a headless fly, and I naturally believe in the fighting spirit of the head catcher, but there is really not much silver in the yamen, in case of defeat again, it will hurt the muscles and bones. ”
The people on the official face are really thick-faced and black-hearted, and they have to say that they are high-sounding when they kill people with a knife, and they have to say that they admire.
