The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.

In the middle of the night when he couldn't even see half a star, a man with a roe deer was hiding in a small alley in Fengyang County, looking nervously at the street outside.

Behind him, there were three or four other men, carefully packing a few burlap bags into a box on a truck. Looking at the way the pocket kept writhing, it seemed that it was full of big living people.

With a bang, a rough man accidentally kicked over a crockpot in the corner.

This sudden sound frightened everyone present to cover their mouths, and they didn't dare to catch for a while.

On the street outside the alley, there happened to be a group of five night guards passing by while snorting. Hearing this sound, one of the young men, who looked like a recruit, exclaimed in surprise:

"Who...... Who...... Who! out of the alley!"

Looking at the young man's trembling appearance, the leader of the thirties Wu Chang kicked on the young man's buttocks, and he muttered angrily:

"Holy shit, what are you talking about, who's there?"

Gently rubbing his buttocks, the young man said with an aggrieved face:

"But Li Tou'er, I obviously heard ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man led by him knocked on his head with a violent shudder:

"Listen, hear you. Isn't it just a broken jar, what's all the fuss! What kind of cat and dog don't stop in the middle of the night, making trouble there!"

Hearing this, the thin man in charge of controlling the wind suddenly had an idea, pinched his nose and called out twice.

With the cooperation of these cat meows, the middle-aged man shouted with more confidence:

"Did you hear that! Lao Tzu said it was a cat!"

Some frightened straightened the hat on his head, and the young man argued with all his might:

"But Li Tou'er...... It's October now......"

"What's wrong with October? Can't you make trouble with cats in October?" The middle-aged Wu Chang grabbed the young man by the collar and pushed him in the direction of the alley, "Aren't you kid not believing in evil? Go and see for yourself!"

The little soldier, who had only been a month, straightened up in a little panic, and then walked in the direction of the alley under the help of a few veterans. He looked at the dark alley, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

When he came over, he startled a few men in the alley who were doing dirty things. They pressed their hands on their arms at their waists, ready to rush out at any moment.

But at this moment, with a whoop, a wild cat jumped out of nowhere. scared the seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier so much that he sat on the ground.

Looking at the appearance of the young man with his hands and feet, a few veterans in the back laughed so much that they couldn't straighten their waists.

Getting up in a panic, the young man said with a sneer:

"Hehe, it's a wild cat......"

Spat heavily, Wu Chang, surnamed Li, scolded and said:

"Okay, okay, happy and happy. I've told you kid a long time ago, don't take care of everything, and I'll put your little life into it one day. ”

Running back to the line, the young man argued unconvinced:

"Look at what you said, what kind of mess can happen in our county town with a bigger palm. At most, it's just a few thieves who don't have long eyes, doing some petty theft. ”

snorted disdainfully, and a middle-aged man who had obviously seen the world said:

"You kid really don't believe in evil, there has been a big mess in the nearby Kaifeng Mansion recently, and the imperial court has sent six doors to personally supervise it. I don't know if I find out in our Fengyang realm one day, I advise you to be smarter, don't worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of, and get into trouble in the province. ”

Nodding his head flatteringly, the sycophants of several subordinates were continuously patted down.

After tidying up the armor on his body, the middle-aged man commanded loudly:

"The brothers are all cheering up, it will be dawn in two or three hours, and when the work is finished, Lao Tzu will invite you to have a good meal!"

The man's voice fell, and a man next to him, who looked about his age, said with a wicked smile:

"Team Li, let's not just eat. This month, the silver has also been distributed, why don't you take your brothers to Piaoxiang Lou to have fun? I heard that there are a few new fans there, and they are very handsome!"

Kicking this man's ass, Wu Chang, surnamed Li, said angrily:

"Look at your little bit of talent, just those crooked melons and cracked dates are still handsome, I think you have held back the needle for too long!"

Scratching his head with a smile, the man asked embarrassedly:

"You're well-informed, so what kind of girl are good-looking?"

Looking left and right very cautiously, the middle-aged man said mysteriously:

"Let me tell you, the most beautiful place for our girls in Fengyang County is that flower music workshop!"

"Flower Place?"

Hearing this name, several soldiers said puzzledly:

"Li Tou'er, you are mistaken, isn't that a music shop? They are all squirters who only sell their art but not their bodies, and it is said that that the place has a great background, and ordinary people can't get in. ”

With a disdainful sneer, Wu Chang, surnamed Li, lowered his voice and said:

"To say that you don't have knowledge is that you don't have knowledge, how can there be anything in the world that only sells your art and doesn't sell your body. To put it bluntly, it's a gimmick, people don't sell it, but sell it to specific people. Let me tell you, I only recently learned about this matter, some time ago, Lord Futai came to our county to supervise, and our Zhao Duwei specially took that adult to Huale Fang. I heard them say that they leaked their mouths when they got drunk, and the place where I felt was a green building selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. The girls in there are actually in the skin and meat business!"

Several people who listened to the excitement gasped, and the man who was walking around the kiln sighed:

"Tut-tut, that's a pity. The girls in the flower shop are like water spirits in the race, just like the fairies in the painting. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, but I didn't expect that feelings are also in the skin and meat business, but it's a pity ......"

"It's a pity!" Wu Chang, surnamed Li, scolded and said: "The guests served by people are all either rich or expensive, and the benefits they get are naturally unimaginable. Poor ghosts like us, whose lives are not worth a few hundred taels of silver, don't worry about it. ”

Spat again, the middle-aged man said angrily:

"Let's go and finish the city quickly! When we have breakfast, we will go home and sleep beautifully, and forget everything!"

In a burst of laughter and scolding, a group of five city guards slowly left the street.

let out a long breath, and a few men hiding in the alley were scared out of a cold sweat. When they saw the group of officers and soldiers walking away, they all glared at the initiator.

The thin man at the head scolded:

"Zhu Daworm! Are you really a fucking pig! Don't walk down such a big alley, you have to walk on the crockpot! Do you know that what we are doing now is a deed that has lost our heads, and we almost died just now!"

The stout man smiled innocently, and while scratching his head, he said angrily:

"Sixth brother, didn't I pay attention, next time, next time I must be careful. ”

"There's a fucking next time! Hurry up! Pack the last few meat dumplings, and we'll have to transport them out of the city while it's dark!"

Hearing his order, the men behind began to load the boxes in an orderly manner.

When everything was settled, a man named Zhu Daworm came over, lowered his voice and asked:

"I said Sixth Brother, we've arrested twenty or thirty people before and after, when is it the head?"

Glancing at this man who was five big and three thick but had some brains that were not very good, Xiao Liuzi said angrily:

"How does Lao Tzu know! Anyway, Hu Ye said that you have to hand over seventy-seven forty-nine meat dumplings every month, and if you lose one, you will use your life to top!"

The man named Zhu Daworm shrank his neck in fear, and muttered with an aggrieved face:

"But Sixth Brother, the first two months were okay. But it's the third month, and it's hard to find people...... Besides, things are getting bigger and bigger now, and the thieves in Kaifeng Mansion are strict, forcing the brothers to find prey in the nearby small county...... If this continues, the brethren really won't be able to hand over the shipment......"

A heavy mouthful of thick phlegm spat on the ground, and the thin man scolded and said:

"His grandmother's, less nonsense, let you catch you, what so much. Let me tell you, this matter was ordered by the big backer behind the tiger master, and if it is done well, we will all be rewarded. If it's messed up, the entire Tiger Head Gang will have to be buried with it!"

The probe looked out into the street for a moment, and Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice and instructed:

"By the way, tell my brother to be careful when you do your work again this month. I heard that Six Doors sent a very powerful character to investigate this case, let's not plant it in the hands of my grandson. ”

Beating his chest heavily, Zhu Da Worm said with a smile:

"Sixth brother, don't worry, let's do things, be careful!"

It didn't seem to see the white eyes of the thin man at all, and the stout man continued to ask:

"But Sixth Brother, what do you say the big man behind the Tiger Master wants so many big people to do? He still has to ask for those helpless beggars and homeless people or something? He can't practice any evil spells, right?"

kicked on the buttocks of the stout man, and Xiao Liuzi reprimanded viciously:

"Shut up! Don't ask what you shouldn't! The less you know about this kind of big man, the better. Otherwise, you don't know how you died!"

shrunk his neck in a daze, and Zhu Daworm honestly closed his mouth.

Looking at the carriage that had been loaded with goods, Xiao Liuzi asked in a low voice:

"By the way, I mentioned to you before, have you found the matter of the pair of sisters from the Western Regions? ”

Scratching his big head with a blank face, Zhu Da Worm said in a nutshell:

"I said Sixth Brother, just by that portrait, we can't recognize who is who. This Fengyang County is such a big palm, I haven't seen any sister flowers in the Western Regions anywhere......"

His brows furrowed into a pimple, and the thin man commanded with some disappointment:

"Forget it, let the brothers listen more when they have something to do. The tiger master put down his words, as long as he sees people, he must be captured alive. Those who catch it will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"

"One Thousand Taels!!"

The stout man's mouth opened wide in disbelief:

"I said Sixth Brother, what are the origins of those two girls, so valuable?"

Too lazy to deal with this stupid and dull man, Xiao Liuzi said very perfunctorily:

"How do I know what they are about, and let you do whatever you want, what so much nonsense!"

Looking up at the sky, the thin man commanded a few men behind him:

"It's almost time, brothers, be careful, and take this car out of Fengyang County!"

Under the cover of night, several men carefully transported this cart of large living people to the vicinity of the West Gate. With the help of the bribed city guards, they left the county town with no danger.

But just a few hours after they left Fengyang County, the caravan from the Western Regions accompanied by Bai Xiaoyi's master and apprentice slowly appeared on the official road outside the south gate.
