The two of them quickly jumped off, left the Salt Gang, and returned to Yihong Courtyard from the secret passage.

Xiong didn't speak all the way. He had a thousand questions in his mind, could he have gone to the wrong room, or had the old gang leader just gone out just when they came?

He had just had an idea, and he had overturned his own idea. If you are sick, you should lie down in the house.

"You said that the leader of the Salt Gang said that he was sick and didn't go out, why was there no one in his room? Could it be that we went to the wrong room?" Xiong asked uneasily.

Shi Zhongyu said with certainty: "Impossible! The old gang leader likes calligraphy and painting very much, I also took a special look at it just now, and there is a picture of a hundred flowers of Tang Bohu hanging on his wall, which is not a genuine handiwork, it is imitated by the old gang leader." I was still present when the old gang leader drew it, so I can't be mistaken. ”

Xiong Wei suddenly remembered a question. "When we went, there was no one at the door of the old gangmaster's room, which was definitely not a normal situation. There are no guards, at least two people are outside guarding the door of the helper's room! ”

"If you don't say it, I'm really ignoring this issue. Shi Zhongyu also suddenly remembered that there was indeed no one guarding outside at that time.

"I remember that in the past, there were four guards at the door of the room in the annex where the old gang leader lived, there would be one guard every one meter on the corridor, and there were four guards at the main entrance of the annex. We didn't meet any of the guards this time. ”

Xiong said seriously: "I also ignored this serious problem at that time. ”

"The place that is too quiet is the one that is the biggest problem. It seems that the Salt Gang is really a big problem. Xia Yun walked over and said calmly.

"I've decided to go to the Salt Gang again, and this time, we'll have to find out the old gang leader!" Xiong said firmly, clenching his fists.

"I can only go tomorrow night, and it will be dawn. You go now, there is definitely danger. Besides, the salt helps you not to be familiar with! How do you get there? ”

Xia Yun frowned, although she also wanted to find Shui Hibiscus as soon as possible, but she was very unhappy when she saw Xiong Wei so anxious.

"Miss Shi, you are so familiar with the Salt Gang, can you draw me two pictures. A portrait of an old gang leader, a topographical map of the Salt Gang. I'm going to find out for myself this time. ”

"I can go with you. Shi Zhongyu returned to the road.

"No need, you don't know martial arts, it's inconvenient for me to take you. ”

"But if there's anything, you can't handle it alone. With my face is the pass. ”

Xiong Wei said resolutely: "Master and they will come back tomorrow, Master is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, I plan to go with Master." Just three of you girls just keep watch here. ”

Xia Yun was even more unhappy when she heard this, and said coldly: "Even I don't have to follow?"

Xiong Wei's tone of voice became more and more heavy: "I'm going to the Salt Gang, I don't know if it's good or bad, I don't want you to take risks with me." I'm going to go out in disguise tomorrow morning, and I'll see if there's anything unusual around the Salt Gang, and then I'll attack in the evening! ”

Xia Yun reminded: "I think we can track down their deputy gang leader and then talk about it." ”

"You reminded me of that. In a moment it will be dawn, and I will go out in a moment to follow their deputy gang leader. It's just that the prefect will definitely come to me to trouble me again, and you have to deal with it. ”

Xiong Wei said and looked at Shi Zhongyu again, and said, "Fortunately, I have kicked you out in front of the prefect today." I don't think the prefect will come to trouble you so soon. You don't know martial arts, you can wait for news from all sides here. If Miss Yu comes back, everything will be fine, if she doesn't come back......"

Xiong Wei hesitated and did not continue.

"You just said you were going to the Salt Gang. Aren't you waiting for Master to come back?" Xia Yun asked again.

"Don't wait, I don't know when I wait, if Master doesn't come back today, things are delayed, I don't know what will happen. Xiong Wei's heart became more and more determined, and he couldn't wait to go now.

"Yun'er, you sleep here for a while. I'll go now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to act when the morning dawns. After dawn, you go to the prefect's yamen, pestering the prefect as much as possible, and don't let him leave the prefect's yamen anyway. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the exit of the secret passage, looked back at Shi Zhongyu and said, "Miss Shi, if I go this time, I won't come back the day after tomorrow." You must tell Master to go to the salt to help save me, and just kill it. ”

"Hmm!" Shi Zhongyu wanted to say something, but nodded slightly.

Xiong Wei took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yun again and said, "Yun'er, in the officialdom, I think you should be better than me." Still, you'd better be careful. ”

Xia Yun's heart also shook suddenly, she usually told Xiong Wei, but she didn't expect that this time it was Xiong Wei who told herself. In an instant, she felt that Xiong Wei had changed, becoming more gentle and considerate.

After Xiong Wei finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Yun to speak, and quickly got out of the secret passage and left.

When the bear came out, the morning star was already hanging in the sky, and the sky was white.

Xiong Wei ran forward as fast as he could.

He came to the Salt Gang, and there were torches burning around the Salt Gang. The coolies ran out one after another.

Xiong Wei hid behind a large tree in the distance, observing the Salt Gang's every move. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in, but now the light of the torch illuminated the night like day, and Xiong Wei had no choice but to observe first.

It was getting brighter. The deputy gang leader walked to the door and stretched, and said to his subordinates, "Have all the people from the dock been sent?"

"Sent!"

"At this very moment, I still go and see it for myself. The deputy gang leader said very seriously, and walked in the direction of the dock after speaking.

Xiong Wei turned sideways, squinted at the deputy gang leader, and quietly followed closely. Xiong Wei followed the deputy gang leader to the dock.

I saw him directing the delivery of salt. It seems that these salts have been piled up into mountains, and Xiong Wei does not know how much there is at a glance. The salt was divided into two piles, and the coolies were constantly carrying the salt on the other side. There was a bunch of them, but they didn't move.

Xiong Wei glanced at it, and got a little ash on the ground and touched it on his face. He strode forward, his head bowed, and followed the coolies, carrying the salt bags in the same way.

He moved for a while, and then quietly asked a coolie, "Hey, man, why don't you move the salt over there?"

The coolie looked at him and said, "New here, huh?"

Xiong nodded honestly and said, "Yes! It's not that there are not enough people, I'm here for the first time today." ”

The coolie looked at Xiong Wei with contempt and said, "That's official salt, we have to transport these private salts away, and only then release the official salt." ”

Xiong Wei nodded innocently, he looked at the deputy helper again and said, "That's the helper." ”

"No, that's the deputy leader. ”

"What about the helper? I heard that the helper is brave when I came here before, and I want to see what the helper is like?"

"The helper is also something you can see when you meet. You'd better hurry up and move the salt. The coolie said, carrying a bag of salt and walking towards the boat.

Xiong Wei himself carried the salt and followed him. Xiong Wei came to the ship and was surprised to find that the whole ship was almost full.

He was shocked: this was the evidence that they were selling illicit salt.

Xiong Wei followed the salt that had been carried all morning, and his eyes never left the deputy gang leader.

The deputy gang leader stood for a while, stretched his waist again, and said loudly: "Hurry up, double the salary!"

With that, he left the docks.

Xiong Wei still followed him and returned to the Salt Gang. The guards during the day seem to be much looser than at night.

Despite this, Xiong Wei watched the deputy gang leader enter the Salt Gang, but he could only watch from the outside.

No, I have to find a way to get in, or I won't be able to find anything useful. Xiong Wei secretly decided in his heart.

"I don't know, this salt gang has a back door. Xiong Wei thought to himself.

Suddenly, an old man pushing vegetables came in front of him. When the old man pushed through the door, the guard also greeted the old man: "Daddy, I'm here to deliver food again." Let's go to the back door!"

The old man replied with a smile.

"Haha, God really helped me. Xiong Wei said as he flashed from one tree to the back door of another, and followed the old man to the back door.

While Daddy was exchanging with the kitchen guards, Xiong Wei quietly slipped in through the back door and blended into the kitchen. He hung from the beams of the room, watching the cooks move.

Xiong Wei carefully observed every corner of the kitchen and thought to himself: since the old gang leader is sick, he must give the old gang leader medicine. However, he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find where the medicine jar was. Isn't it time to boil the medicine yet?

Since they are all helpers, and during their illness, the diet will be different from everyone's. I didn't see the helper's small stove.

Xiong Wei put his feet on the beams, leaned his back against the pillar, closed his eyes, yawned, and his stomach growled.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten in a long time. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile, and he secretly sighed in his heart: I am so smart that I actually got into such a good place, and it was all food.

Xiong Wei didn't know how long he had been waiting, and suddenly a small guy came running. Xiong Wei took a closer look, this guy was so familiar, it seemed to be the guy who followed the deputy gang leader in the morning.

As soon as he entered the kitchen door, he said very arrogantly, "Is the helper's meal ready?" ”

He was still carrying the medicine bag in his hand, and the medicine bag shook in his hand, and he gently flicked the medicine bag and landed on the stove.

A servant in the kitchen brought the meal to this man's hands.

Xiong Wei smiled at the corner of his mouth, it seems that he finally has some clues. Xiong Wei observed again, and jumped down while everyone was not paying attention. Roll one to the other side of the stove, grab a chicken leg and bite into your mouth. One rolled forward and rolled out.

He followed the food delivery man all the way to the old gangmaster's room.

Xiong Wei didn't go in and poked a hole in the window. He found the deputy gang leader sitting inside.

He handed the food to the deputy leader, who sent him out.

The deputy gang leader took out a packet of medicine from his bosom and sprinkled it in his meal, then walked to the front of a painting. He blocked the drawing, and there was a button at the back of the painting.

The deputy gang leader turned the button, and Xiong Wei saw that the bookshelf in the old gang leader's room turned.

Xiong Wei nodded slightly, bit a piece of chicken fiercely, and sighed: I see. I don't know, what's the mystery in this dark pavilion. Seeing him carrying the food, it is estimated that the old gang leader is inside.
