Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tsing Yi Lane gets to the bottom of it, and the culprit is first met in the middle of the night

The matter of the steel plant was temporarily over, and Feng Gao and a group of workers also began the restoration project.

However, before this, Feng Gaoshang needed to be sure of one thing, looking at the many workers who had been gathered, he asked, "Tell me, do you know why that old Ding Tou is doing such a thing?" Feng Gao is also familiar with this old Ding Tou, knowing that although this person has a withdrawn temperament, he is not a greedy person, and it is really surprising that he suddenly did such a thing of embezzling silver and silver.

"This, isn't it because he just took in a righteous son recently?"

"Yoshiko, what's going on?" Feng Gao asked.

The man said, "Maybe you don't know, just a few days ago, that old man came to have a nephew. Perhaps, just ask his nephew and you'll find out why. ”

Feng Gao was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Then do you know where his nephew is now?"

"It's in Tsing Yi Lane, Beicheng!"

"In Tsing Yi Lane?"

A trace of anger flashed between Feng Gao's eyebrows, he knew very well that Tsing Yi Lane was the place where the Qinglou was located in the past, and it had always been crowded with people, but since Xiao Feng became the owner, the Qinglou in Tsing Yi Lane has been suppressed, and the business has been much lighter, not to mention, even the prostitutes in it have also run a lot.

Those who are talented directly enter the Huaxia Women's College as a teacher; those who are eager for a career also run to the army and become a military doctor; those who are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work also enter the textile factory and become a weaver girl.

It's hard work, but it's much better than the days of slavery that preceded it.

After these people were gone, those high-level scholars and gentry also abandoned this place and ran away again, and this situation even more implicated other people, causing many remaining prostitutes to also leave to find another way out, only some prostitutes who could only be said to be medium in appearance stayed here and lived by renting houses.

Because there is no screening of personnel, there has always been a mixture of fish and dragons here, and there are too many idle people gathered.

Now that the person's location was determined, Feng Gao, after instructing the basic things, completely picked two sturdy people and accompanied him to Tsing Yi Lane.

Stepping into this Tsing Yi Alley, Feng Gao immediately smelled a foul smell and hurriedly covered his nose.

"I didn't expect this place to degenerate like this. ”

His eyes gathered slightly, Feng Gao swept the scene in front of him, and suddenly gave birth to a feeling of time changing.

"The red lights are shining, the fireworks are like stars, and the candles are shining on a prosperous scene. ”

It is surprising that what was once a beautiful scene that was once rumored to be in the mouth of many people has become like this.

On the huge street, although there are still remnants of masonry, but these masonry are all raised by the grass, which looks much messy, and piles of feces can occasionally be seen on the roadside, emitting a disgusting stench, and no one has cleaned it up.

However, judging from the wide streets and the three-zhang high restaurants on both sides, you can still vaguely see the prosperous scene of the past.

Although, for the ever-changing Chang'an City, this purely wooden restaurant is too old, and the creaking sound always makes people unable to sleep peacefully, and whenever there is a storm, there will be feng shui invading it, far less solid than the brick house.

Perhaps, this is the reason why these green buildings were abandoned.

According to the information, Feng Gao came to a restaurant, looked at the "Yixuan Building" hanging on the door plaque, and then walked up and buckled the door.

With a "creak", the door was opened, and an aunt with a changed figure walked out.

"Are you going to rent a house?"

Although there was a lot of foundation on his face, it was still difficult to hide the dark spots under his skin, which made Feng Gao show a little repulsion, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

The aunt was in a hurry, stretched out her arm extremely skillfully, grabbed Feng Gao directly, and said delicately: "Since you have come, it is better to go inside and do it." Isn't it?" If these words were replaced by a twenty-eight-year-old girl, it would definitely make people's bones soft, but if they were replaced by the aunt in front of them, they couldn't help but make people feel a churn in their stomachs.

"No, no. ”

Feng Gao suddenly felt anxious, and hurriedly tried his strength but also got rid of the other party's entanglement, so he had to look sideways behind him, and the two workers who followed Feng Gao immediately walked out, and then coughed.

When the aunt saw the three of them coming, she reluctantly let go of Feng Gao, revealing a little disappointment: "Since you are not here to rent a house, what are you doing here?" As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

Feng Gao was a little anxious, and hurriedly stretched out his hand against the door, and begged in a low voice: "No, can you listen to me?" In order to attract the other party's attention, he also deliberately opened the sleeves of his shirt, revealing the silver stripes inside.

Seeing the silver bar, the aunt gave up and opened the door.

"Since you're not here to rent a house, what are you here for?"

"I'm here to find someone!"

"Looking for whom?"

"Ding Yizhen!"

Feng Gao said his purpose, when he was not sure of the identity of the other party, the best way was to win over the head snake here, and according to the previous actions, the aunt in front of him was estimated to have been a prostitute before, so she had such skillful movements.

Since she has been able to live here for more than 20 years, her means must not be weak.

The old bustard chuckled, full of disdain: "Ding Yizhen, it turned out to be Ding Sanxiao, what are you looking for him?"

"What is going on?" Feng Gao was glad in his heart, secretly glad that he had finally found his goal, but his doubts were even worse.

The old bustard smiled and said: "He harmed his parents, brothers, and children and grandchildren, and the whole family was miserable by him, so how could he not be called Ding San's harm? Of course, if he hadn't offended the people in his own family, how could he come to me? He also told me that there was a big business here! By the way, if you are his friend, can you settle his monthly rent for half a year?"

"How much is the monthly rent for half a year?"

The corners of Feng Gao's mouth twitched slightly, but he felt annoyed in his heart, if he had to pursue the news of Lao Dingtou's death, he would not want to come here.

And it can be seen from the other party's expression that if he doesn't pay, I'm afraid he won't be able to get the news.

The old bustard gestured two fingers and said, "Four thousand yuan." When converted into silver, it is three silver dollars. ”

"That's it. Now can you tell me where the hell are they?" Feng Gao took out four silver dollars from his sleeve and handed them to the other party.

Before leaving, Feng Gao took out his share and exchanged it for thirty silver dollars, that is, thirty taels of silver.

The silver had been melted down, and had completely lost its original appearance, and could only be exchanged for silver dollars before it could enter circulation.

Looking at the exquisite picture of the phoenix soaring above, the old bustard showed some joy and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I don't know!"

"Don't know?"

Anger flashed on Feng Gao's face, and the two workers behind him also walked up at the right time, and the muscles on his body trembled because of the strength they had worked for a long time, obviously threatening.

The old bustard's body trembled, and he quickly explained: "Well, he leaves at this time every day, and I'm not his wife, so how do you know where he went to? But don't worry, he will come back every night." ”

"Are you sure?"

Feng Gao threatened.

Three silver dollars is not a small amount, and if you don't get anything, it's unacceptable.

The old bustard swept over the sturdy man and hurriedly responded, "Of course, where do I dare to lie to you?"

"Okay, then I'll wait here until that person shows up. ”

Striding into the room, Feng Gao picked a seat and sat down directly, and the two workers also followed, making the old bustard afraid and did not dare to stop him.

Compared with Xiao Suo outside the door, this building is much more elegant, not only the grass on the ground is trimmed like a carpet, but the ground is also paved with a layer of masonry to prevent shoes and socks from being soaked on rainy days.

Even in this hall, it still maintains its usual appearance, although the Taishi chair made of pear blossom wood is old, but it is also tough, and there are no cobwebs or anything like cobwebs on the walls, but it can't help but be ravaged by the years, it looks a little yellowed, and there are many things missing on the hollow platforms on both sides.

From these things, you can guess how prosperous it would have been in its heyday.

Seeing the two of them sitting still, the old bustard's eyes rolled wildly, as if he was panicked: "Well, are you thirsty?" In this case, I will go to the back room and prepare a pot of tea for you." With that, he went into the back room, and after a long while, he brought out a pot of tea, took out the teacup and poured it into it skillfully, and then brought it to the three of them.

Feng Gao also felt thirsty, and took a sip: "It turned out to be Biluochun?

He had never drunk Longtuan Shengxue, but among the tea leaves that ordinary people could taste, Feng Gao was also involved, and he was also surprised by the old bustard in front of him.

Judging by the way it looked outside, he thought there was nothing here at first.

The old bustard sneered and said, "This is just a previous inventory, just to make a few people happy?" Of course, there was fear in her voice, she lowered her voice, and came with a little fear: "If you see the three evils, can you show mercy to your subordinates and leave me a place to stay?"

"Of course!"

Feng Gao sighed inwardly and knew the other party's purpose.

According to his previous performance, the other party is only afraid that he will be regarded as some underworld figure.

Of course, when he received the strike of the steel mill, he was indeed an underworld figure, but when facing Wang Quanbin and Zhao Fang, he still felt extremely powerless, not to mention characters such as Su Lan and Su Quan.

He knew that this time the other party might stop, but next time it would not be so easy, and he had to seize the opportunity to fight for enough room for himself.

Seeing that the people were silent, the old bustard was still worried in his heart, and when he thought of the next meeting, he was even more frightened, and immediately went into the back room, for fear of causing some trouble.

Time passed, and the sunlight shining into the room became longer and longer, until the rainbow of the sky dissipated, and the whole house fell into darkness.

Although he was in the dark, Feng Gao seemed to have been used to it, and continued to sit in place, quietly looking at the open door.

Facing the moonlight, a dark shadow quickly appeared at the door.

The man didn't seem to notice the movement here, and before he could step into the door, he shouted, "Cuihua." Why didn't you light the light for me today? I stepped on a lot of shit! You say, does that mean I'm about to run shit luck?"

Obviously, the emerald flower in his mouth was referring to the old bustard who entertained Feng Gao during the day.

After shouting a few words, the man had never seen Cuihua, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Hey, if you don't light the lamp, then I'll have to light it myself." So saying, he took out the fire fold in his bosom and lit the two kerosene lamps in front of the door.

This kerosene lamp, which is naturally a by-product of smelting coke, was made into a kerosene lamp because of its long burning time, replacing the previous candle and becoming a new lighting device.

A faint light lit up, dispelling the darkness around them.

"Are you Ding Yizhen?"

The sudden sound immediately startled this person, and when he turned around, he saw Feng Gao behind him, he patted his chest again and again, and finally regained his composure.

"Who are you? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what the hell are you running here to pretend to be? Don't you think you can scare me like this?"

"Of course not. ”

Feng Gao was surprised by the other party's calmness, and probably estimated that the other party was Ding Yizhen, the nephew of the old man Nading.

Through the faint candlelight, Feng Gao could see that Ding Yizhen was a thin man, just like a bamboo pole, with his cheekbones sunken in, looking sick.
