Thirty-six narrow roads meet Huaiyang Tower
Third Brother Liu gave the boat boss two taels of silver and asked him to drive the boat overnight and sail to Baoying County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info smooth sailing, the boat ploughed the lake waves, heading towards Baoying County, full of the sound of the wind and waves.
In the cabin, an oil lamp was lit, Liu Sange patted Liu Yiyi's acupoint, Bai Yuchun recounted everything that happened at home during Liu Yiyi's detention, thinking of the tragic death of his parents, Liu Yiyi and Bai Yuchun hugged their heads and cried. Liu Yiyi asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
Bai Yuchun said: "His name is Hu Daxian, he is a fortune-telling gentleman, in fact, he is a hero, and it was his righteous chivalry who saved you." β
Liu Yiyi knelt down and thanked him, and Bai Yuchun also knelt down and thanked him. Third Brother Liu helped them up and said, "No need to be polite, after arriving at Baoying, please go to your home immediately to explain to your relatives, take care of everything, the sooner the better, and then immediately leave Baoying in the carriage and go to Zhenjiang, don't stay for a long time, otherwise, you won't be able to leave." β
Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi nodded again and again.
At noon the next day, when they arrived in Baoying County, Bai Yuchun and Liu Yiyi hurriedly explained their family affairs to their relatives, and after going to their parents' graves to cry and worship, they got into Liu Sange's carriage and drove south. In the early morning of the next day, the black horse Da Hei ran to the Guazhou ferry in Yangzhou. Liu Sange's brother at the waterway ferry hired a boat to send Bai Yuchun and his wife to Zhenjiang. When they were about to break up, Bai Yuchun pulled Liu Sange aside and said in a low voice: "Brother, you go to Zhenjiang with me." β
Third Brother Liu said, "What are you doing?"
Bai Yuchun said: "You can't leave us, it's best to follow the Qingchun Opera Troupe in secret to protect us." β
Third Brother Liu said: "Yes, this should be what my brother should do." Have you ever heard of one, though?"
Bai Yuchun said: "Who?"
Third Brother Liu said: "The flying thief Ding Piaopeng." β
Bai Yuchun said: "Of course I've heard of it, it's a hero today, a hero who supports justice and robs the rich and helps the poor." β
Third Brother Liu said: "Now, he is seriously injured, the government is offering a reward for his arrest, and the thieves are red-eyed for the 300,000 taels of silver, and they are looking for him everywhere." Brother is going to help him, you say, should I go?"
Bai Yuchun said: "Hey, then, then let's go." Bai Yuchun was sad.
Third Brother Liu said, "You wait.

Bai Yuchun said: "Okay." β
Liu Sange said: "Also, the Qingchun Opera Troupe is best performed in the big cities along the Yangtze River, and there are thirty-six brothers from the wharves of each city. If there is anything wrong, go to the dock for help, remember, the code word of the waterway ......"
He attached himself to Bai Yuchun's ear and confessed the secret words. As long as you say the right codeword, the waterway brothers will help.
The brothers broke up, and the third brother Liu drove the carriage north to Huai'an.

The land father-in-law Chu Ke and the land mother-in-law Luo Ajuan arrived at Huai'an Mansion with five arresters, and since there was no news of Ding Piaopeng, they would not bother the officials of the state capital. They don't go to the official post to stay, they choose a cleaner inn to settle down in, and come and go freely. Chu Ke and his wife were very disgusted with the banquet of officialdom, how could they have their brothers eat and drink together and be comfortable.
This time, it is not easy for the iron-faced god to catch the five fast catchers that Qiao Wanquan matched him, except for three of whom are Chu Ke's subordinates, the other two: one is the "thin monkey", the thief is eccentric, he has seen Ding Piaopeng, Wang Xiaoer, and the master of Jiang Banxian, the traveling doctor of the rivers and lakes. Speaking of which, it is the cronies of the owl Hu Dafa; the other is Lang Qi, he is a person on Qiao Wan's whole line, at the beginning, he was stabbed by five Xiaoer and one on the neck, and there was a lot of blood, but he did not cut the arteries and blood vessels, and he was rescued by the medical officer with all his might, and he came back to life, Lang Qi and Ding Piaopeng had a trick, and Wang Xiaoer had been mixed for more than ten days, and they were more familiar, and there were two people, Thin Monkey and Lang Qi, of course, it was very beneficial to capture Ding Piaopeng.
The iron-faced god Qiao Wanquan is a very careful person, he thinks that it is far more important to be smart and alert to arrest criminals than martial arts.
Thin Monkey and Lang Qi are both bright people, since they are working under Chu Ke and his wife, they have to listen to them, and they can't have the slightest mistake, so they are extremely diligent.
After lunch, they went out on the street.
Look at it, it's not shopping, they are not interested in shopping, sightseeing and sightseeing. As a catch, look is to understand the situation. There are many cases that come into it unexpectedly, and there are many cases of blind cats touching dead rats.
Lang Qi has been a green forest, bold, tight-mouthed, loyal to his master, this is the reason why Qiao Wanquan has taken a fancy to him; The thin monkey is not only poisonous in the eyes, but also more poisonous in the ears, the ears of the thin monkey have a stronger recognition function, and the voice of each person is different, and the content of the speech is not the same after a few years, he may forget, but the voice of the speech will not be forgotten, even if you deliberately make a sound and pretend, he can probably distinguish it, unless you don't speak.
The skinny monkey is a natural fast catcher, with a special function of catching fast.
Huai'an is located at the confluence of the Huai River and the Grand Canal, is a city where merchants gather, the boat is busy, the market shops are lined up one after another, especially in the area of the town Huai Lou, the shops are advertised, and the tourists are weaving.
Lang Qi loves to eat, as if he can never get enough, and not long after lunch, he bought a handful of lamb skewers and gave two to the thin monkey, so he walked while eating arrogantly.
The thin monkey was chewing on lamb skewers in his mouth, but his eyes were rolling in the crowd, and he was not idle for a moment. A pair of men and women walked past him, both of them were wearing sunhats, the brim of the hat was pressed low, almost covering half of the face, the man was tall and burly, the woman was petite and exquisite, the man he had never seen, although the woman's hat brim covered half of her face, he recognized it as a lost wolf at a glance, and a nest of wolves in Yinshan also came, of course, for the huge reward, for the reward, the people of Baidao ** were all crazy.
The thin monkey elbowed Lang Qi, winked, and wanted to follow. saw a middle-aged scholar-like person passing by, not close or far away following the ecstasy wolf. Who is the scholar? Don't think about it, just keep up.
Visitors rub shoulders one after another, to keep an eye on the tip, not to be close, not to be far away, the distance is too far, in the blink of an eye people will be lost, the stalking technique of the thin monkey is not bad. He wanted to follow the scholar, but there was already someone behind him, and he saw at a glance that the man was very thin, and he became thin, and he had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, like a tuberculosis ghost, in his thirties, and he was not close or far from the scholar. Today is a series of stalking, I don't know if there is anyone behind the thin man, but you can't be sloppy.
There is also someone behind the thin man, a middle-aged businessman who has made some fortune, and behind the businessman, the thin monkey carefully observes, but there is no one left. The skinny monkey followed.
When there are many people, it is relatively easy to keep an eye on the pins, but they are afraid of losing them; when there are few people, it is not so easy to keep an eye on the pins, and it is easy to be discovered. I'm afraid that when I get to the sparsely populated streets and alleys, this series of stalking will be detected immediately, and I can't stare at all.
Fortunately, after a while, there was a luxuriously decorated restaurant in front, with flying eaves and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, and five big gold characters written on the black lacquer plaque: Huaiyang Restaurant. The middle-aged businessman entered the restaurant, the hall downstairs of the restaurant was full, and the crowd was boiling, the middle-aged businessman immediately went up to the second floor, and the thin monkey pushed Lang Qi with his elbow again, and said in a low voice: "Quick, go and call the leader, I'll star." Lang Qi nodded, turned around and left. The skinny monkey also went up to the second floor.
The hall on the second floor is more elegantly decorated, with tables and chairs made of rosewood, and even the floor is paved with rosewood. There are calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls, and milky white curtains are hung on the windows, which makes it more and more graceful and luxurious. The bartender was young and handsome, dressed in a silk black shirt with a yellow belt around his waist, and his face was bright and flattering. Dining on the second floor, in this situation, will definitely be three or four times more expensive than downstairs, so there are not as many people drinking upstairs as downstairs.
As soon as the thin monkey went upstairs, a bartender greeted him and said, "Master, how many?" The thin monkey said, "Four, and three will be there soon." The bartender led the skinny monkey to a table at the top of the stairs and took a seat. Pour tea and hand over the menu. The thin monkey drank tea and ordered food, and the corner of his eyes swept away, and immediately included all the people who were watching the chain in his eyes: the ecstasy wolf and the burly man sat in the corner of the hall, the ecstasy wolf's sunhat had been taken off and placed on the table, but the burly man was still wearing a hat, half-covering his face, which was really a bit nondescript, and they were chatting while eating, as if there was no one around; the middle-aged scholar sat at the window, looking at the street scene under the window, eating and eating, very leisurely; the leprosy ghost sat in another corner of the hall, eating and drinking by himself; the middle-aged merchant sat by the wine cabinet, ordering two or three dishes, chatting with the bartender in the wine cabinet, drinking wine, it seemed that he was a regular customerγ
Suddenly, I heard a sharp sound of the stairs "Dengdengdeng", four men came up, the thin monkey raised his eyes to see, these four people had hideous faces, and their eyes were empty, it was the third wolf of a nest of wolves in Yinshan, the old five perverts, the sixth one-eyed wolf, and the eight white-faced wolves. After a sound of chairs moving, he sat down at the Ecstasy Wolf's wine table, and then the sound of the drinking order rang out. The bartender went up, accompanied by a smiling face, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you whisper ,......" The one-eyed wolf said angrily: "Mom, you have a scar, you are too wide, and it is up to the master." As he spoke, it was a backhand slap that made the bartender stumble, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, covering his face, and running away.
The diners at the adjacent table, seeing that there were so many mourning stars, couldn't they hide if they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they hurriedly settled the bill and went downstairs. At this time, Chu Ke and Lang Qi also arrived, and sat down at the thin monkey's table, and the thin monkey gently introduced the people who were following him one by one.
Chu Ke said: "That is to say, when the wolf comes, the wolf's nose is always the most intelligent." β
The thin monkey said: "The leader is right, Ding Piaopeng may be able to show up in the near future." β
Luo Ajuan said: "It's available, you should be happy." β
Chu Ke said: "What am I happy about, I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." β
Luo Ajuan said: "Look, how beautiful the ecstasy wolf looks." β
At this time, when the ecstasy wolf saw that his buddies were coming, as if he had a dependence, he was happy, and simply took off his coat, wearing a green satin jacket inside, low-cut, revealing pink cleavage, and a white gold necklace adorned with a ruby, rolling on the white and tender breasts, shining brightly.
Chu Ke knew that she was jealous for no reason, and sighed: "Hey, what do you like?" β
The thin monkey had just been here for a few days, and he didn't know what was wrong with his husband and wife, and said, "Yes, it's so beautiful, men will inevitably be tempted when they see it." It's a pity to be young. β
Luo Ajuan said: "You see, what the thin monkey says is the truth, unlike some people, what they say is always different from what they think in their hearts, what is it called, it is called 'duplicity', or 'heart is wrong', or it can be said to be 'heart and mouth'." β
Chu Ke said: "Where is this, who are you talking about?"
Luo Ajuan said: "This is called the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional." Say that the center is sick, and I can't sit still. β
The thin monkey didn't show signs at this time, glanced at the couple, and stopped talking.
There was a sound of footsteps at the staircase, and two men and two women came up, it was the overlord whip Cui Da'an, the spirit snake sword He Guihua, the mountain sword Jiang Yong, and the life-seeking sword Laifang, and the four of them were also wearing swords. The bartender greeted aloud: "Four masters, how about sitting at the window?"
Cui Da'an didn't leave his body, and when he entered the hotel, he also carried a steel whip, and said, "It's okay, it's bright." β
The bartender shouted, "Four masters, watch the window seats." β
What kind of person is Cui Da'an, the tiger's eye swept the room, and he had already noticed a nest of wolves in Yinshan in the corner of the hall, and said, "Slow, the bartender dodge." β
He pushed away the bartender, carried a steel whip, and strode towards the wine table of a nest of wolves, and He Guihua, Jiang Yong, and Lai Fang behind him also noticed the wolf gang, and they all drew their swords and followed, and the faces of the four of them were murderous.
When a group of diners saw it, they shouted, grabbed the road and fled, and immediately the cups and plates slammed and the horn rang chaotically, smashed on the ground, the juice was dripping, and the diners forgot to pay the bill, the bartender also forgot to collect the bill, and the middle-aged scholar who was drinking at the window saw this, and also followed everyone downstairs, and the tuberculosis ghost with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks hurriedly followed. The middle-aged businessman who was sitting on the edge of the wine cabinet drinking immediately followed the tuberculosis ghost downstairs, and the thin monkey said to Chu Ke: "Boss, go down and take a look." β
Chu Ke looked at the chaos in the field and said, "Yes, keep an eye on it." β
The one-eyed wolf faced the staircase, and almost at the same time as Cui Da'an, he noticed the other party, and he said in a low voice: "Brothers, He, Mr. Cui has also come to drink, it seems that there will be a fight." The wolf gang immediately pushed away the tables and chairs, stood up with brushes, and pulled out knives, whips, and flutes, and for a moment the cups and plates flew sideways, and the juice splashed everywhere. Cao Dayuan, a ghost-headed crocodile, took off his sunhat, threw it on the floor, lifted his robe, and pulled out the ghost-headed knife. He can't show weakness in front of his brothers in the Wolf Gang, the enemies of the Wolf Gang are his enemies, and maybe, one day, he will be the leader of the Wolf Gang.
Cao Dayuan carried the ghost head knife and took the lead to meet him.
The reason why the Wolf Gang can become a big gang in the Central Plains is because of unity.
A litter of wolves in Yinshan behaves mischiefly externally, but internally treats each other as brothers and sisters, different from top to bottom, and depends on each other, and there is absolutely no idea of separation. If anyone violates the gang rules, they will be severely punished, and the punishment is so cruel that you will have a good understanding of what it means to be "better to live than to die".
The overlord whip Cui Da'an said: "Oh, who are you? β
Cao Dayuan said: "The people in the rivers and lakes call the ghost head crocodile Cao Dayuan. β
Cui Da'an said: "It turned out to be a ghost-headed crocodile, a shameless person who tried to kill the lord and usurp the throne, but he was famous." Boy, eat someone with a whip. β
Horn, a whip sounded violently, and the tip of the whip swept towards the ghost's crocodile eyebrows like lightning. The ghost-headed crocodile didn't dare to slack off, waved his knife to meet the attack, "the heart was fragrant", and he attacked with a slash towards Cui Da'an. On both sides of Cui Da'an, on one side is He Guihua, and on the other side are Jiang Yong and Lai Fang, and the swords are unstoppable.
The wolf gang of wolves, big perverts, one-eyed wolves, white-faced wolves, and ecstasy wolves shouted in unison, each holding a sword, and rushed forward. The two sides come and go, and they don't give in to each other.
The hall on the second floor of the Huaiyang Restaurant suddenly became a fighting arena.
Almost all the diners on the second floor ran away, only the table at the top of the stairs, two men and one woman, was still drinking and watching.
All the bartenders, bookkeepers, and shopkeepers on the second floor also ran away, after all, their lives mattered.
Cui Da'an recognized Chu Ke and his wife at a glance, and said angrily: "As the head catcher of the Criminal Department, I saw the Jiangyang thief who killed people and set fires, and I actually stood by and watched, which play was singing." β
Chu Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Cui's dart head, he is brave and brave, and he can see the gods below." β
Cui Da'an said: "I smiled and smiled, these wolf cubs are not vegetarians." β
The fortune wolf said: "We have never been vegetarian, we are used to eating meat, and the more we eat, the more addicted we become." β
Cui Da'an's steel whip swept frequently, attacked the wolves, and said: "I heard that the combination of the sword of the father-in-law of the land and the mother-in-law of the land is very exciting, why not open people's eyes." β
Chu Ke said: "That's a fallacy award from the Taoist, but it's actually ordinary. He turned his face to Luo Ajuan and said, "Ajuan, it's time for us to play." He drew his knife as he spoke.
Luo Ajuan pursed her lips and smiled, forgetting about the jealousy, and said, "Okay, a litter of wolves in Yinshan is too rampant, probably impatient." As he spoke, he drew his sword.
Chu Ke said to Lang Qi: "Hold the staircase, don't let a nest of wolves in Yinshan escape." β
Lang Qi also drew his knife and stood at the top of the stairs.
Chu Ke glanced at Luo Ajuan, a little under the feet of the two, like two big birds, swept over the five round tables, and pounced on the wolf gang, Chu Ke made a move "autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves", the sword light brought out a strong wind, unstoppable, and slashed at the wolf gang; Luo Ajuan's long sword shook, sneered, and the sword qi hurt when it touched the face, a style of "Qiao Taishou chaotic mandarin duck spectrum", the move was wonderful, and the sword stabbed out more than a dozen directions, forcing the wolf gang to retreat.
The combination of swords of the husband and wife is a tacit understanding and a great increase in power. Wudang kung fu, famous style, extraordinary shots, impressive.
The wolf gang suddenly messed up, retreated step by step, and was in danger, and finally was forced to a corner of the hall. Could it be that today, five members of the Wolf Gang, plus a ghost-headed crocodile, will all end up here?!
Hmph, don't think too pretty.
The white-faced wolf flashed behind the big pervert, the big pervert was tall, almost completely covering him, the white-faced wolf touched out the thunderbolts, these thunderbolts were carefully developed by him, very proud, non-toxic, but the explosion power is huge, especially when escaping, the most important thing is the explosive power and smoke, the explosive force can prevent the enemy from chasing, the smoke can create chaos, win the opportunity to retreat. Today, it may be necessary to rely on these thunderbolts to escape the catastrophe.
The white-faced wolf looked at Chu Ke and his wife and sent two thunderbolts in a row, Chu Ke and Luo Ajuan blocked it with their swords, the horn, the thunderbolt exploded, and two sparks and two gunpowder smoke burst out, Chu Ke and his wife exclaimed: "The smoke is poisonous." "Remind people to pay attention. He hurriedly covered his mouth and retreated, and the hall was suddenly filled with smoke, and the white-faced wolf continued to send out five thunderbolts one after another, several of which hit the wine cabinet, the wine bottle shattered, the wine splashed everywhere, and the flames ignited immediately.
The white-faced wolf shouted, "It's a tough idea, it's." Taking advantage of the chaos, he took the lead and rushed out of the window, and casually sent two thunderbolts to Cui Da'an and Chu Ke, forcing everyone back and covering the retreat of the brothers.
Whoosh, the wolf gang rushed out of the window in the blink of an eye, and when Cui Daan and others rushed out of the window to chase, the wolf gang had fled without a trace.
Behind them, the Huaiyang Restaurant, the smoke of the fire has engulfed a luxury restaurant at the end of the road, a sound of walls collapsing and houses collapsing, people scattered and fled, only the shopkeeper faced the fire, howling and crying.
