Chapter 25 Cangzhou "Detective"
A day later, on the streets of Cangzhou.
"It's finally here, and the stone in our heart has also landed. Pang Erlong walked leisurely at the front of the group. Xiang Kong still followed behind with a look of indifference, as well as the four dart masters who escorted the darts, and the other two dart masters went to the inn with the empty carriage. And Bai Yilan followed Zhou Ying'er to watch the street stalls without missing a beat. This family picked up a hairpin and gestured on their heads, and that family took a fancy to a sachet and gave it to Bai Yilan to smell, and sometimes the two looked at each other and smiled and ran to the next one, how bright the smile on her face was on behalf of how happy she is now. didn't pay attention, and saw that there was something more curious in front of him, so he immediately pulled Bai Yilan and rushed in front of everyone............
"Sure enough, it's still a child's heart. Pang Erlong looked at the two chasing and playing, and couldn't help but smack his lips. Maybe I recall the "she" who was also willing to play with me in the past.
And Xiang Kong's attention was no longer relaxed at all, "Old Pang, don't you think there's anything wrong?"
"What's wrong, such a large order, we delivered it safely, and the expenses at the end of the year must not be worried. ”
Xiang Kong knew that Pang Erlong was broad-hearted, and he didn't expect the other party to think of a piece with him.
"Do you want to say that it was the Dragon and Tiger Gang who received this batch of goods, but they have their own transportation channels, why do you want to ask us?" Bai Yilan, who had already stepped forward, suddenly appeared beside Xiang Kong, but what surprised him was that Bai Yilan said what he thought in his heart.
Pang Erlong didn't care, "Isn't this right, people have a big business, so they send us silver for nothing......"
However, Xiang Kong still frowned, considering the problem. At this time, two other dart masters also came to meet everyone. Pang Erlong saw that there was no carriage behind them, and thought that he had found a good inn. As soon as he thought that he would be able to taste wine and eat meat immediately, he was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Si, where is the inn you are looking for?"
I saw that the two of them were helpless, and spread their hands, "Where is there an inn in Cangzhou today." ”
It was like a basin of cold water that extinguished Pang Erlong's passion, but in exchange for it, he was extremely angry, "Impossible, it's not the peak season now, if you don't want to look for it, you can say you don't want to find it, how can you make up such a lame reason......"
"It's true. ”
Everyone turned to Zhou Ying'er when they heard the voice, the girl who was holding a long sword and had some difficulty walking, but now she was extremely happy.
But in the next second, everyone still habitually wanted to confirm, so they looked at Bai Yilan in unison. I saw him raise his eyebrows and nod in confirmation.
"You've been wandering around all the way, how do you know?" Pang Erlong couldn't believe it, and had to "struggle" at the end.
"Who said we were just hanging out, but I talked to the shop owners all over the street, and I didn't know everything about what was going on in this place, but I also knew a rough idea. Bai Yilan did not hesitate to "praise" herself for this opportunity in disguise, her eyes were slightly closed, but she looked as good as she could.
Hearing these words, Xiang Kong felt more admiration, although he didn't know if this was a person's experience of walking the rivers and lakes, or a person's innate talent for agility. But after all, you can't do it yourself.
But Bai Yilan felt like she was halfway through her words...... So he went on to explain: "Recently, there have been frequent floods in Huaibei, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. The houses were washed away, and the people had no choice but to settle in the city, but the government turned a blind eye to this matter and allowed the people to flee everywhere. Fortunately, the Dragon and Tiger Gang vacated all the inns and shops under their door to accommodate the homeless ............"
"I didn't expect the Dragon and Tiger Gang to be so kind. ”
Bai Yilan didn't pay attention to Pang Erlong's nonsense at all, but looked at Xiang Kong and waited for his opinion......
After Xiang Kong's usual calm thinking, "There must be collusion between the government and the Dragon and Tiger Gang, and it may be that this is a drama directed and acted by them......"
Bai Yilan couldn't get used to the Dragon and Tiger Gang, especially now that it was too much to drive the tiger to seize the nest. If the other party really has any conspiracy, it is absolutely impossible for him to ignore it. must not let the other party sit firmly in the Ten Thousand Swords Villa without peace of mind. So he started the first step, looking for a "partner". His left hand rested on Xiang Kong's shoulder, and he smiled toothily: "How is it, are you interested in debunking their hypocrisy with me?"
Xiang Kong had already guessed Bai Yilan's identity before, and naturally understood the meaning of his words, how could the young owner of Wanjian Villa just debunk the conspiracy of the Dragon and Tiger Gang on a whim. He gently slid Bai Yilan's hand off his shoulder, and showed an apologetic expression for the first time, "No need, I'm just a little guard of the dart game, so I won't toss with you big guys......"
"Big shot?" Bai Yilan was a little surprised, but after introspection confirmed that she hadn't said anything about her life experience, she couldn't help but be cautious, "You...... Know me?"
Xiang Kong smiled in harmony with his usual style, looked up at the cloudless clear sky, and his thoughts went back to when he was as old as Bai Yilan ten years ago............ Said leisurely: "Our generation, which one didn't grow up listening to the story of the sword god who swords for thousands of miles and single-handedly picked up ten thousand swords. After envying for a long time, he will naturally know some family matters, such as how the son of the sword god is famous......" and then looked at Bai Yilan, "For example, the sword of the grandson of the sword god is in the sky............"
Bai Yilan was angry, but after all, there was a bitterness in her heart, "Since you know everything, then you should help me?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you the news about the Dragon Tiger Gang?"
Bai Yilan was not flustered, with a smile on her face, "I came here this time to tell them that someone will definitely come to ask for what I have done!"
"Well said!" Pang Erlong, who had already walked away, walked back again at some point, and heard all the conversations between Bai Yilan and Xiang Kong. He clapped his hands and said, "How about taking me one?"
"You?" Bai Yilan looked very disgusted.
"What's wrong with me, even if I don't pay much attention to it, but I don't want some people to cringe into it. Then he glanced at Xiang Kong, who bowed his head and was dull.
Bai Yilan couldn't help laughing, "Ahem, then tell me, what can you do?"
"Cut, if you want to say that we are also half a pound and eight taels with him, otherwise how can we arrange for me to be a door god with him? ”
"Okay, okay, big brother Bai, you can take him with you. Zhou Ying'er on the side was also "moved" by his sincerity.
Only then did Bai Yilan relent, "Okay, you stay." Then since there is no place to stay, let Xiang Kong go back with the dart master tonight. ”
Under the stimulation of Pang Erlong's words, Xiang Kong blackened his face the whole time, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, pointing at Pang Erlong. "Let them go back on their own, I'll still be responsible for watching you............ By the way, give advice. ”
Bai Yilan smiled secretly in her heart and secretly gave Pang Erlong a thumbs up......
Immediately, Bai Yilan pulled Pang, Xiang, and Zhou together together, bowed their heads and discussed secretly for a long time before raising their heads, "Okay, while it's still early, let's act quickly!"
Bai Yilan took Zhou Ying'er to inquire about the recent situation of the resettlement of the homeless people from shop to shop; Xiang Kong found all the inns belonging to the Dragon and Tiger Gang and kept an eye on the movements in the inns; Pang Erlong made a bunch of clever words and tricked the dart master into letting them leave alone......
After a long day, they finally found a place to stay in a private gambling house, which was full of people and helped them in their investigation. They found a corner and settled down, each with a face written on it: Harvest is abundant.
"Don't sell it, Ying'er, let's talk about it first. ”
Zhou Ying'er responded: "We asked many shop owners again, and their opinions on the Dragon and Tiger Gang have always been very good, and they are full of praise for the Dragon and Tiger Gang's approach this time. Overall, this time the Dragon and Tiger Gang seems to be really saving the world. ”
"There is only one doubt. Bai Yilan grabbed the words, "They are accepting homeless people every day, ranging from three or five people a day to hundreds of people. And it lasted for nearly a month, and after a little calculation, it was impossible for them to live so many people in these inns. ”
Let me answer that question. Xiang Kong, who is often dull, couldn't sit still, "I squatted in several of the largest inns in Cangzhou, and even sneaked into the backyard. I found out that they would secretly arrange to transport a group of homeless people out of the city every day. I don't know where I went. ”
The news sparked everyone's interest, "Let's be specific." ”
"I pretended that the nomads had mixed in, and that no matter how many nomads there were, they could always provide a place for the newcomers to stay, and the last group was arranged by the Dragon and Tiger Gang insiders to get into the carriage through the back door and go out of the city in multiple trips. ”
"Could it be a coolie?" Zhou Ying'er rolled her big bright eyes, "There have been times in our village before, and the people of the government took all the men in the village away and said that they were going to build bridges and roads, but in the end they never came back......
Bai Yilan said that she agreed with Ying'er's point of view very much, so it would make sense, the Dragon and Tiger Gang, the court would do one thing in front of the court and one thing behind the scenes. The goal is to justifiably get free labor. But the news brought by Pang Erlong made this inference a little untenable.
"Then listen to my news again, I have a dart master who is more familiar with me, you should have an impression, that Ah Si. He secretly told me that the whole three truckloads of darts we went on were all white money! And I had long heard that the money and property confiscated by the Dragon and Tiger Gang were to be partially confiscated, so the government had placed someone in the Dragon and Tiger Gang to be responsible for keeping an eye on the actual situation of the Dragon and Tiger Gang's confiscation. What does this mean? This shows that the Dragon and Tiger Gangs and the turtle grandsons secretly crossed Chen Cang with the official Ming Xiu plank road. It seems that they are not as united as they thought. ”
Bai Yilan interjected: "What if these three cars are the part that the dragon and tiger help themselves?"
Pang Erlong immediately shook his hand and shook his head, "It's impossible, not to mention that it is impossible to divide such silver from the current Huaibei flood, even if there is really one, the Dragon and Tiger Gang masters are like clouds, they don't need it." He is so relieved to hand over such a large sum of money to a small dart game like ours?"
