Seeing that Luoshan was going to talk about business, the three of them sat down and waited eagerly.

"I secretly investigated the Green Gang for several months. While recalling, Luo Shan said slowly: "In Yongzhou City, the Qing Gang covered the sky with one hand, and was completely the head snake of the ground, raising prostitutes, operating gambling houses, practicing a group of thugs, specializing in collecting insurance silver, and even hiding bows and crossbows. ”

The Kingdom of Yun is close to the Northern You, because the army of the Kingdom of Youguo often infiltrates the territory and captures young children. The government has clearly ordered that the people do not ban swords, and if they find the traffickers in Beiyou, they can kill them first and report later, but it is still a felony to possess bows and crossbows.

Luo Caiwei crossed her hands on her hips and scolded angrily: "The Green Gang is so presumptuous, is the court just blind, why don't you eradicate them?"

Luo Shan smiled bitterly, reached out and stroked her head, and asked, "Girl, do you say that in this world, the thief catches the light?"

Luo Caiwei thought about it for a while, but she couldn't understand it, and the disciples also doubted: "There are thousands of thieves in the world, catch one here, and another over there, you really can't catch them all, but if you care about these, do you have to let them steal?"

Luo Shan patted the table lightly, noncommittal, then pursed his lips and smiled, prompting: "There is an easier way, you can do it once and for all, you might as well use your brains to think about it." ”

The three of them frowned and pondered, and after a moment, Lin Yi thought of Guan Jian, straightened his waist, and suddenly said, "Don't you treat thieves with thieves?"

"Yes!" Luo Shan applauded in response, looked at him and bowed slightly, in order to show his approval, and continued: "Since you can't finish catching them, it's better to use their strength to control thieves and cure blacks with black." The government secretly colluded with the Qing Gang, helping them to clear the rest of the city, allowing them to steal and collect money. The Green Gang will also pay the regular money on time, help the government collect intelligence, and the eyeliner is all over the corners of the streets and alleys, and the government can be notified immediately if there is any trouble. ”

Hearing Luo Shan's explanation, everyone understood a lot in their hearts, but they still had doubts, and couldn't help asking: "Then there are hungry ghosts in Xufu, and they are all over the house, so it can't be the government's instructions, right?"

Luo Shan nodded solemnly, and pondered: "The matter of the Xu Mansion will definitely not be arranged by the imperial court, no matter how mediocre the official mansion is, it will not let the hungry ghosts commit murder, most of them are other people behind it - let's not mention this matter for the time being, continue to talk about the Qing Gang." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Shan stopped talking, looked at the three of them, and lingered on his face for a long time before he said: "Girl, don't care about it first, you are all trustworthy to me, I have a plan, and I need your help." ”

The three of them sat precariously, not smiling, waiting for Luo Shan's orders.

"During this time, I found that every half month, the Green Gang would drive to the suburbs, spend half a day in a dilapidated mountain villa, and then return in a hurry, the convoy was only a few people, acting secretly, and did not know who to deal with. I wanted to sneak into the villa alone and find out, but I thought this was an opportunity to practice, so I might as well leave it to you, so I could learn some experience. ”

Lin Yi was about to agree, but Luo Shan stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't rush to agree, dare to go against the Lingguan Mansion, there are definitely no idle people in the villa, I'm afraid it will be a Longtan tiger's den, I just want you to try to follow it, don't rush in." ”

Lin Yi thought for a moment, but nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Master, although the apprentice can't fight, but under your practice, the escape kung fu has been practiced to the first-class, if I see that the situation is not good, I will leave without delay." ”

Luo Shan hesitated for a long time, although he knew that he was a little reckless, but it was an opportunity, and it was better to let him take risks in person than to practice some flower boxing and embroidery legs in the mansion. But all the masters in the world are in a desperate situation first, and only after nine deaths can they be reborn and achieve a transformation. And the villa is not really dangerous, it's just a possibility, maybe it's because you are too worried, and you can't give up eating because of choking.

He rubbed his eyes, weighed it again, Fang exhaled, touched his chin with his hand from his temple, raised his eyes and said: "Okay, then you will investigate first, remember, don't chase too deep, once you see that something is wrong, immediately think of running away." ”

"Remember Master's teachings. Lin Yi stood up and bowed, looking solemn.

Luo Caiwei hurriedly shouted: "Daddy, what about me, I'll go too!"

Luo Shan smiled bitterly: "You are causing trouble for Lin Er, twittering all the way, I'm afraid that before you get there, your whereabouts will be exposed." ”

"Didn't Daddy want us to go together, such a good opportunity was only given to Brother Lin, it's too cunning. Luo Caiwei grabbed his palm and shook his head.

Luo Shan said with a straight face: "Who said that he is alone, Yingzhuo is also going?"

Zhang Yingzhuo raised his head blankly and said strangely: "Master, did you hear it wrong...... Didn't I say we wanted to be together?"

Luo Shan feigned anger and said: "If you don't go, will you let Lin Er go to danger alone? You lazy person, can you fight for the teacher!"

"The apprentice's ability is low, Master, what you said is so dangerous, didn't I look for death in the past!" Zhang Yingzhuo was so anxious that he screamed, spitting and his face full of reluctance.

"Less nonsense. Luo Shan said hatefully: "Look at Lin Yi, you work hard every day, and you sleep except for eating, Master has raised you for so many years, and now you don't even want to share my worries?"

Zhang Yingzhuo's voice was deflated, and he lowered his head and said: "Then you should also call Senior Brother Shen to go, his martial arts are so good, and he has practiced qi veins, ordinary seven or eight military men can't help him, you might as well ......"

Luo Shan patted him on the shoulder with his big hand, interrupted the chatter, and said earnestly: "When you leave, you will also go to the Qinggang as a teacher to find out the whereabouts of He Sirui's family." And Wuxin has to stay in the Lingguan Mansion to guard, and he can only rely on you at present, besides, he is not the only one who has cultivated the qi vein. ”

Lin Yi and Luo Caiwei suddenly calmed down, suddenly thought of the rumors, and said in unison: "The fourth person!"

They have all heard about this, and there was once a disciple who formed a spiritual root early and led the art to seek a teacher, but he just kept a low profile and never revealed his true body. And now, the master took the initiative to mention it, which aroused the two of them.

Luo Shan picked up the cane and knife, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the pavilion, stood in the snow, and said slowly: "Lin'er, you are tracking the Qing Gang this time, I have asked that person to protect him secretly, if you encounter danger, don't panic too much, it will save you, but you can't lose your vigilance because of this." ”

Lin Yi turned his head and looked at Luo Caiwei with surprise on his face. Zhang Yingzhuo's eyes fluttered, and he was suspicious. The three of them looked at Luoshan together, only to see him holding a staff and knife, drawing a map in the snow, explaining: "Take the Lingguan Mansion as the boundary, follow the official road to the south, to Yongzhou City, and the west corner of the city is where the base camp of the Green Gang is located. He went on to draw: "The convoy of the Green Gang will come out of the West Gate, and then go all the way to the west, to this barren mountain, and drive into the villa, the journey will take about two hours. From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the west gate to guard, and the Green Gang will definitely send someone over in the next two days. ”

Lin Yi immediately replied: "Obey." Privately pulled Zhang Yingzhuo's sleeve, Zhang Yingzhuo said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll go, I'll do it!"

Luo Shan nodded with satisfaction, beckoned Lin Yi over, and said, "Lin Er, there is one more thing to explain for the teacher." ”

Lin Yi walked out of the pavilion, did not forget to bring the ring head knife, just arrived at him, but saw a trace of treachery flash in the corner of his eye, falling on his chest, suddenly, his heart was alert, and he hurriedly moved to the right to dodge!

At the same time, Luo Shan swung his staff at his chest, but stabbed him in the air.

Lin Yi ran away and ran out of the flower garden, without looking back: "Master, I knew you were going to yin me!"

"Scoundrel, leave ~~" Luoshan laughed and chased after him with a wooden stick.

"Daddy started again. ”

"yes, they really don't get tired of having fun. ”

Only Luo Caiwei and Zhang Yingzhuo were left, looking at each other.

......

The next day, outside the city of Yongzhou, the gate was ajar, and the defenders held their spears and cowered in the sentry post rubbing their hands, stomping their feet and shaking their breath. Lin Yi and Zhang Yingzhuo wore cloaks, felt hats, two fake beards, cross-dressed, squatted at the door, and chatted with the vendors. Zhang Yingzhuo bought two scallion oil flatbreads, and ate them with a lot of mouth, and occasionally businessmen drove in and out of the city, but they didn't see the Qinggang for a long time.

Zhang Yingzhuo chewed the flatbread and said vaguely: "Hmm...... Senior Brother Lin, I don't think they're coming today, are they......? It's so cold, why don't we go into the city and find a bathhouse to keep warm, and then stay up like this without freezing to death?"

"No, it doesn't. Lin Yi looked around and said softly: "You be quiet, what if you have ears and eyes to hear?" If you insist, Master believes in us so much, we can't let him down." ”

Zhang Yingzhuo hummed a few words, went to buy two more fritters, and ate them by himself. Lin Yi glared at him angrily, but his stomach couldn't help but scream twice, hesitated for a moment, and then squeezed over and said, "Ahem, what's that, Senior Brother Zhang......"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yingzhuo didn't raise his eyes.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand awkwardly, a little embarrassed: "Divide me?"

After the two of them ate the fritters in a few bites, Zhang Yingzhuo sneaked around and wanted to pull Lin Yi's cloak to wipe his hands, but he was found by him and was blinded. At this time, three black-covered carriages happened to come out of the city, and the burly coachman at the head took the reins of his horse, stepped out of the carriage with his legs, and bought some breakfast with the vendor.

He walked back to the car window, bent his waist and handed it in, and said respectfully, "Please Miss eat something first and cushion your stomach." The curtain was lifted by a slender jade hand, and after taking it early, the girl inside said: "Li Fei, you have a heart." ”

Lin Yi's ears were sharp, and he instantly heard Zhao Qiman's voice, and quickly pulled up his cloak to cover his face and lowered the brim of his hat. He pulled Zhang Yingzhuo back and said in a low voice: "It's here!"

Zhang Yingzhuo understood, bowed his head with him, and waited patiently for the convoy to pass by. When they had traveled some distance, they got up and chased after the snow prints. Along the way, the convoy stopped frequently, and several Qinggang men came down to look around, cautious. And Lin Yi and Zhang Yingzhuo were both wearing white cloaks, and when they saw the carriage stop from a distance, they immediately lay down in the snow, enduring the cold, and did not dare to move.

The Green Gang didn't notice them and continued to drive. Lin Yi and the others waited for each other to walk away before they got up tremblingly and followed the reel prints. Fortunately, in the ice and snow, the convoy did not go fast, so they did not lose it.

After about two hours, the terrain gradually became remote as we walked farther and farther. Lin Yi and the others were frozen until their ears and noses were blue, and their fingers were stiff and painful, and they saw the shadow of the villa.

Looking at the empty and unoccupied dilapidated villa, Zhang Yingzhuo couldn't help but rub his hands and complained in a trembling voice: "Master, master...... Do your best of the chore...... Tortured me to death. ”

"Shhh-" Lin Yi warned softly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, let's touch in." ”
