Chapter 54: The Bliss Gang (5)
Rui Cheng just saw Hu Zhangfei speak coldly, and told the assassination situation in a trembling and shocked manner, Hu Zhangfei was also shocked when he heard it, and immediately stopped sharpening his knife, and said in surprise: "So that's the case, I have to report to the gang leader before making a decision, you go back and hide it first, don't come out and walk around this matter so as not to reveal our whereabouts." Rui Chenggang answered and left.
Hu Zhangfei used a flying pigeon to pass a book to the leader of the Bliss Gang, and the book said: "The face of the ticket is too big, and it can't be exchanged." After a while, the helper wrote back to him: "Negotiable." At this time, it was already evening, Hu Zhangfei walked out of the house and walked through a few streets to Xindemen Street, he walked into a Sihai Inn, this inn is still a big inn, there is a front and a back, upstairs and downstairs There is a big courtyard, there are many guests coming and going, and many guests have come in at this time. Hu Zhangfei walked to the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, I want a room." The shopkeeper said: "Okay, it just so happens that there is an upper room downstairs that is room No. 1, and Xiao Er came to take this guest officer to see room No. 1." Xiao Er responded and took Hu Zhangfei and walked towards Room No. 1.
Hu Zhangfei followed Xiao Er to Room No. 1, Hu Zhangfei said: "I'm tired of traveling today, I want to rest early, I don't tell you to come and disturb me." Xiao Er said: "Haode, don't worry, we never disturb the rest of the guests." After saying that, he left, Hu Zhangfei closed the latches and found a stool to do it for a while, only to hear a little light noise on the wall, Hu Zhangfei immediately stood up and walked to a painting on the wall, stretched out his hand to lift the painting to reveal a door, and put it in in a flash. It turned out that there was still a room inside, it was an elegant bedroom, all kinds of furniture and supplies, the shopkeeper was sitting at the big table and drinking tea, and the original shopkeeper was Yao Sihai, the leader of the Bliss Gang. When he saw Hu Zhangfei coming in, he was a little listless, so he said, "Is it done?" Hu Zhangfei lowered his head and said, "It didn't work." And he also accompanied two brothers. ’
Gang Leader Yao heard that two had died and had not succeeded. He said angrily: "You are getting more and more careless about doing things now, even a handsome boy can't handle it, what else can you do." Hu Zhangfei said: "He is not an ordinary handsome son, his name is Zhang Lingyu, that is, the recently famous Qixia Lingyu, I heard that the martial arts are unfathomable, in Liujiazhuang Tibetan Lama beat the head of the Huashan faction and the head of the Huangshan faction into serious injuries, and this Qixia Lingyu just beat the lama into a serious injury and walked away in embarrassment. Gang Leader Yao exclaimed, "I know about this. But no one told me how he had become a handsome boy again. Hu Zhangfei said: "The subordinates don't know, and Jue's selection of Pianpian Gongzi is a literati game, so I didn't pay attention to it, this situation was just heard by Rui Chenggang in the afternoon." ’
Yao Gang Master scolded: "This bastard Yan Jingui, he only said that he played music and danced at the Oiran Festival, and he was a middle and high master, and he was long and suave, so he was named a young man, and said that his martial arts were ordinary, only a little higher than him Yan Jingui." Hu Zhangfei said: "Helper, do you say that we should continue to hunt and kill now or just give up." Gang Leader Yao pondered for a while and said, "We are now difficult to ride a tiger. If you don't kill, you can't explain to your employer, and it's very tricky to kill. Besides, we can't dare to do it when we hear that people are powerful, wouldn't it make the people on the rivers and lakes laugh at us. After a pause, he said, "I can't let Yan Jingui be so happy, at least double the amount of silver, the first thing you should do when you go back now is to inquire about his whereabouts, and then I will inform you when I think of a way." Hu Zhangfei responded: "Okay, I'll do it." After saying that, he opened the door behind the painting and entered room No. 1, and then quietly slipped away.
The next morning, Zhang Lingyu and the others got up early, packed their bags, and Chang Yue'e rushed over with her baggage. After breakfast, Hong Feng, Hong Xia, Tong Yunfei, Ma Junlan, and Chang Yue'e rode their horses first, and Zhang Lingyu, Liu Qingyang, and Tong Yuxiu sent them to the riverside wharf. Everyone got off the horse, a few small boats stopped by the river, Liu Qingyang stepped forward and asked, "Boatman, do you want to cross my friends across the river?" One of the middle-aged boatmen said: "Childe, our boat is small, you have horses that can't fit it, you wait a minute, there is a big boat on the north bank that will come over immediately, and one boat can cross you." ’
Sure enough, a big boat rowed over from the north shore after a while, the boat was full of people who entered the city, and when they arrived at the dock, people hurriedly got off the boat, and when they were all finished, Hong Xia and they all took the horse and got on the boat, Zhang Lingyu said: "You go first, I'll play for another day and then go." While speaking, the big boat had already moved towards the north bank, Zhang Lingyu and Liu Qingyang Tong Yuxiu kept watching Hong Xia and they crossed the river and went ashore, and Zhang Lingyu was relieved to return to the Liujia courtyard. Zhang Lingyu went to several brothels in the afternoon to drink and blow the flute and have fun, saying that he was going to the capital tomorrow, so he wanted to find a few more famous prostitutes. It wasn't until midnight that he went back to Liujia's courtyard to rest, Liu Qingyang had already gone back to Liujiazhuang, and it was Zhang Lingyu who told him to go back early and not to send it the next day.
The next day, Zhang Lingyu had breakfast and rushed towards the riverside wharf with a burden and a sword, but when he arrived at the wharf, he didn't see a boat, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's okay that I'm here early, and the ferry hasn't started work yet, no, there was a ferry waiting here at this time yesterday." So he sat down and waited, and after waiting for about an hour no ferry came, he got up again and paced up and down the wharf, and looked a little anxious, and on several occasions he tried to run over the river, but after thinking about it, he endured it. When he was impatient, he raised his eyes and looked east along the riverside, and suddenly saw a small boat by the river in the distance, and Zhang Lingyu walked east along the river bank towards the small boat. After walking for five miles to the place where the boat was, it turned out to be a fishing boat, and there were two middle-aged men on the boat who were playing with fishing nets in the bow of the boat, and the cabin was an arched shed built by reed mats.
Zhang Lingyu shouted at the fish boat: "Boat man, can you cross the river for me." One of the burly boatmen said, "We are a fish boat, not a ferry." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "You also fish to sell silver, you cross the river with me, and I give you money for the boat." The Kuiwu boatman said: "That's different, we cross the river with two dangers, one is that if the ferry is not a casual ferry, if you are seen by the government, you will be fined silver for the light, and you will have to sit in the class room for the heavy; Zhang Lingyu said: "You see that there is no one here, even if it sinks to the bottom of the river, no one will see it." The Kuiwu boatman said: "I see that you are really in a hurry to cross the river, so let's make a good crossing, we are too close to the ferry, you can walk five miles east to get on the boat." Zhang Lingyu said: "Haode, I'll go over." The boat also rowed along the river. (To be continued......)
