Gradually, the sun showed its face completely and had climbed high into the sky.

Ouyang Ying held a weed and dangled back and forth under Xiaoyaozi's nose.

"Ahh Maybe it's because I've been too tired lately, or maybe it's because I've had too many things, Xiaoyaozi actually slept until noon.

"Ying'er, why are you here?" Xiaoyaozi felt dizzy, turned over and continued to sleep.

"Master, it's noon, do you still want to sleep?" Ouyang Ying saw Xiaoyaozi turn around and hurriedly ran over again.

"What?

"Master, do you have a cold?" Ouyang Ying said with concern.

"Maybe!" Xiaoyaozi pressed one finger on one hole in his nose, and the other side exhaled very hard, but his nose was not breathing, and he really caught a cold.

"Where's the child?"

"Master, I haven't seen Big Stupid Bear since I saw him caught. ”

"Qi'er went to the other side with the witch last night. Look for it, they're still talking late yesterday. I don't know if I sleep in that bush now?"

Ouyang Ying shook the weeds that teased Xiaoyaozi just now, and said very calmly, "Really, I said why didn't I see Sister Yun this morning." ”

Xiaoyaozi stretched his waist and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you to find it, maybe I will find something." ”

This lake is not big, but it is not small. The few of them turned around and didn't see Xiong Wei and Xia Yun's shadows.

"Master, have you found this everywhere?" Ouyang Ying sat in the grass and knocked her legs, looking around.

"It's a pity that I can't go back to the Salt Gang now, otherwise I'll let my brothers go to find it together. The old gang leader said with a sigh.

"He's fine, we came back together last night. Xiaoyaozi added.

"This apprentice of yours does have filial piety, after rescuing us yesterday. Not seeing your shadow, he went back to you. The old gang leader said again.

"This child does have filial piety. Xiaoyaozi thought to himself as he spoke, if he hadn't had filial piety yesterday, he wouldn't have heard what he said to the governor.

"Oh no!" Xiaoyaozi suddenly remembered Xiong Wei's inexplicable conversation with him yesterday. And he stopped in front of the gambling house and said that he would accompany him to the gambling house. Did he go to the gambling house?

"Xiaoyao, have you thought of anything?" the old gang leader knew what he remembered when he looked at Xiaoyaozi's surprised expression.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, there is something unclear, and I want to ask the old helper. ”

"Please?" said the old gang leader modestly.

"Qi'er said yesterday that he would not leave the gambling house, what did he want to investigate, dare to ask the old gang leader, do you have anything to investigate in the gambling house?

The old gang leader nodded, hesitated, and didn't know whether to say it or not.

Xiaoyaozi looked at the old gang leader's hesitant expression, and added: "Old gang leader, don't worry, I won't harm my apprentice, I just have to figure things out before I can make a decision." ”

The old gang leader looked at the people around him, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! I'll just say it all. ”

The old gang leader simply told Xiaoyaozi that Xiong Wei still had several account books in his hand, which recorded in detail how the salt merchants had colluded with the government in recent years and how they smuggled smuggled salt.

As far as the old gang leader knows, the prefect and the salt merchant must go to the gambling house almost every day.

The reason why they went to the gambling house was that they were escorted. It was because they wanted to take the opportunity to break into the gambling house, and then find out the evidence that the salt merchant laundered money in the gambling house, as well as the evidence that the salt merchant secretly bribed the government.

Because just having a ledger, this evidence is not enough, and it is more convincing to catch some of their evidence on the spot.

"What!" Xiaoyaozi sighed, thinking to himself, it turns out that this is a trap set by you secretly. No wonder he was saying that he had ruined his plan.

Xiaoyaozi remembered that Xia Yun had a burden on her back last night. He didn't ask, thinking that this thing should be the account book that the old gang leader said.

He took a deep breath and speculated in his heart, could it be that Qi'er went to the gambling house?

"Old helper, I have something to go out first. After he finished speaking, he looked at Ouyang Ying and Shi Zhongyu, "Please ask the old gang leader to help me take care of these two girls." ”

"Master, where are you going?" Ouyang Ying began to coquettish again, "I want to go with you." ”

Xiaoyaozi didn't come from Ouyang Ying's temperament this time, he said solemnly: "I'm not going to play this time, I'm going to do big things." You follow the old gang leader well, I will come back to pick you up when I finish my business. ”

"Master......" Ouyang Ying looked at Xiaoyaozi with her mouth shutting her mouth.

"Alright!" Xiaoyaozi said solemnly, "Besides, it will be delayed." ”

"Don't worry. I will definitely take good care of them. The old gang leader promised.

Xiaoyaozi nodded, clasped his hands in front of his chest, saluted the old gang leader and said, "Then please." ”

After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he strode towards the casino.

As soon as Xiaoyaozi arrived at the casino, he shouted: "Toad, you get out of here with me." ”

"Which bastard ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and called grandpa's name. The toad ran out of the back hall, looking angry, and saw Xiaoyaozi hurriedly bowed his head and bowed his waist, "Xiaoyaoxia, I don't know it's you." ”

Xiaoyaozi walked directly to the back hall, and as soon as he arrived at the back hall, he immediately said: "Governor, prefect, salt merchant, have you come today?"

"No! There was such a big thing yesterday, I don't think they will come today. ”

"Did you find any suspicious people coming?" Xiaoyaozi frowned and looked at the toad.

The toad thought for a moment and replied, "No, everything is so normal today that it can't be normal anymore." ”

Xiaoyaozi's brows are getting tighter and tighter, this is abnormal.

He speculated in his heart: Isn't it that the child has not started to act yet, but yes, it is still early, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The governor and the prefect did not come. Even if Qi'er is hiding somewhere now, it is useless.

Xiaoyaozi thought about it and took a deep breath, hoping that the prefect and the governor would not come to the gambling house again today. No, they have to find someone to block them outside.

"Toad. You go, send a few people. Block the intersection. If you see the prefect, the governor, the salt merchant. Whoever comes, let them go back quickly. ”

"Ouch, my Escape. I'm a minion, they're masters. They are coming, how can I stop it! I don't want to live if I offend them? ”

Xiaoyaozi yelled at the toad, "Why are you talking so much nonsense. Let you go, and you go. If, they insist on coming. Tell them that if they come again tonight, their lives will be gone. ”

After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he kicked at the toad, and said fiercely: "You still see, don't go quickly." ”

After kicking it, he ran to the yard by himself, jumped on the roof, and inspected the entire roof of the gambling house. He wanted to sit on the roof and wait for Xiong Wei, but when he looked back, the goal of sitting on the roof was too obvious, and Xiong Wei probably wouldn't come!

He sat alone in the room, quietly waiting for Xiong Wei to arrive.

The night wind whistled, and the moonlight sprinkled the earth cleanly, casting a hazy silver frost on everything around it. The toad sent people to guard the various intersections, and they kept watch all night, but found nothing.

"Oh!oh!" the rooster had already crowed several times in a row.

Xiaoyaozi opened his eyes, and he didn't wait for anything after a sleepless night.

"Toad!" shouted Xiaoyaozi again.

The toad hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"There was no one all night, and the governor didn't see it?"

"Until now, none of the brothers who went out have come back to report, presumably not coming. I went to the lobby and asked, but none of them came. ”

"You get all the people back, ask carefully, and ask again. Xiaoyaozi said hurriedly.

The toad summoned them all back, and inquired again, but did not see anyone they were waiting for.

Xiaoyaozi sighed, frowned, and thought: No wonder! Am I wrong? However, he is not at the lake, where will he go?

"Lai Toad, you personally go to the prefect's yamen to see if the governor is in the yamen. If he is, you ask him to wait for my news at the prefect's yamen, and don't move. If it's not, look at the prefect, it's not there. Also, inquire about the news of Lord Wang who came from Jingshi. ”

Xiaoyaozi guessed that if Xiong Wei didn't go to catch them. Will he be caught by Wang Dong? He had to think about both.

"Yes!" the toad nodded.

Half an hour later, the toad hurriedly ran back and told Xiaoyaozi: "It's not good, it's not good, it's wrong, something happened!"

"You say slowly, something is wrong. Xiaoyaozi's heart kept beating, he had already guessed that something was wrong, but what exactly happened. He hadn't thought of it yet.

"Governor, the prefect didn't know who had taken him overnight. "The toad can't tell.

"What?" Xiaoyaozi was surprised. He miscalculated, he originally thought that Xiong Wei was going to come to the gambling house, but he didn't expect Xiong Wei to go directly to arrest the governor and the prefect.

"Where is the Lord Wang from Jingshi at this time?"

"Lord Wang, when I go. He's still sleeping. I didn't dare to alarm him. ”

Xiaoyaozi thought: Right now, who have been arrested. You have to hurry up and inform the rest of the Donglin Party to do it.

He never thought that Xiong Wei's movements would be so fast.

As for the queen, it is estimated that Wang Dong should go to inform him. He just wanted to leave it alone.

After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he strode out and walked out. After walking a few steps, he turned back to the toad and said, "Your gambling house is closed." ”

"Why?" the toad didn't understand why.

"If you don't want to die, close the door. Xiaoyaozi coldly dropped his words and left.
