Chapter 229: Hongze Lake
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan took a boat all the way on the canal, came to the Huaiyin Mansion Wharf in the afternoon of this day, let the boatman moor the boat, and the two went to the wharf. The two came to Fucheng to find someone to inquire about the robbery of the disaster relief grain boat, and many people said that there was such a thing, saying that they were robbed by lake bandits, and it was not until the evening that the two of them found an inn to rest.
Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan returned to the guest room after dinner, and Tong Yunfei said, "Miss Hao, do you think it was really the Lake Bandits?" Hao Yan said: "It's hard to say about this, how can people make it very top secret, how can ordinary people know about it, if you ask people casually like us, it won't be a long time ago." Tong Yunfei was about to speak, and when he saw Xiao Er bringing tea, he didn't say anything, Xiao Er took two portions of tea and walked in and said, "Two sons, the little one is here to bring tea to your door." After speaking, he looked at Hao Yan and said, "This son, do you want to send your tea to your room now?" Hao Yan said: "No need, just leave it here." ’
Xiao Er put down the tea and turned around to leave, Tong Yunfei said: "Little Second Brother, please stay, I will ask you about something." Xiao Er said: "If you ask me about something, you have found the right person, and there is nothing on the ground in Huaiyin Mansion that I don't know." Tong Yunfei said: "Do you know about the robbery of the disaster relief grain ship?" Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your family is from an official family to handle the case." Tong Yunfei said: "We are not from the official family, we just have to give up." Xiao Er said: "That's the case, I heard that it was done by the lake bandits." Tong Yunfei said: "Did the government catch the lake bandits?" Xiao Erdao: "I haven't heard that I have been caught, but I heard that the grain transport officers and soldiers and boatmen were all killed by the lake bandits." Tong Yunfei said: "Has the government sent troops to chase after it?" Xiao Erdao: "I haven't heard of it." Tong Yunfei said: "Since you know that it is the grain boat robbed by the lake bandits, why don't you chase it?" Xiao Er said: "How can this be known by the small one, and you have to ask the government." Or ask the lake bandits, maybe you will understand. Tong Yunfei said: "Although you are reasonable, it is not the same as looking for death." No matter how curious I am, I won't be stupid, so let's go. Xiao Er said: "Okay." Call me for something, be on call. After that, he left.
Hao Yan saw Xiao Er leave and said: "I think what Xiao Er said is reasonable, if you want to know the truth, you have to ask the government and the lake bandits, and it is useless to find other people." Tong Yunfei said: "Can you tell you if you are looking for an official?" Hao Yan said: "If you can't find an official, we can go to the lake bandits." Tong Yunfei said: "You mean that I want to go to Hongze to find the lake bandits, and if the water surface that can't be seen at a glance is not good, there will be no return." Hao Yan said, "You forgot that Brother Yu said that we can go to the leader of the Black Sand Gang in Hongze Lake and ask him which gang of lake bandits it is." Tong Yunfei said: "I forgot this, do you recognize the gang leader?" Hao Yan said: "Of course I do." His name is Takeo, and Brother Yu is very kind to him, so I should have no problem asking him for help. Tong Yunfei said: "Okay, we will go to the lake tomorrow." After speaking, Hao Yan went back to the room to rest.
The next day, Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan went to the wharf after breakfast and sailed towards Hongze Lake. When he got closer, Tong Yunfei stood at the bow of the boat and said to the middle-aged Yu family: "Uncle, may I ask you." How can we find the Black Sand Gang?' The Yu family said: "I don't know what is the matter with Gongzi looking for the Black Sand Gang?" Tong Yunfei said: "We are friends with the leader of the Wu Gang, and it is a trivial matter to find him. The fishman pointed to the smaller boat that did not cast its net in the distance, and said, "If you want to find a helper, go to the people in that boat, and they will take you there." Tong Yunfei thanked the Yu family and asked the boatman to row the boat towards the boat, and after a while, it gradually approached. When the big man standing at the bow of the boat saw Tong Yunfei and their boat coming, he said, "Hey, do you want to come to fish? You are new here. ’
Tong Yunfei said: "We're not here to fish, we want to find your martial arts leader for something." Please show us the way. The big man said, "You said that you are a friend of our helper, how do I know if it is true or not?" If you sign up and come and I'll send you a message, and if the helper wants to see you, I'll take you there. Hao Yan said: "You go and tell the martial gang leader that there is a man named Zhang Lingyu who wants to see him." The big man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Which of you is Zhang Lingyu." Hao Yan said: "You don't care which one of us is, if you don't believe it, just go and tell the martial arts leader." The big man said: "Our gang leader has a friend named Zhang Lingyu, there is no one in our gang who does not know, and there are many people who have seen him, I think the two are different from the legend." Hao Yan said: "To tell you the truth, Zhang Lingyu sent us. The big man secretly said: "You weren't sent by Zhang Shaoxia, and you can't afford to make a big wave if you want to make a bad amount." When he thought of this, he said, 'Then come with me.' After speaking, he asked the helper to lift the anchor and start the boat, and Tong Yunfei followed their boat.
The big man's boat rowed for a while into a reed swing that could not be seen, there were criss-crossing waterways in the reeds, if you were not familiar with the situation here, it would not be easy to walk in and want to go out, the big man of the black sand gang was obviously familiar with the road, only to see his boat turn left and right as if the clouds and water kept moving forward, Tong Yunfei also helped to rock the oars and followed.
Tong Yunfei and the others followed the big man around and came to a big water surface It was noon, and a few small boats and a big boat stopped on the water, and the big man said to Tong Yunfei: "Son, you wait here for a while, I will go and report it." Tong Yunfei said: "Then there is Brother Lao." The big man's boat went straight to the big ship.
Hao Yan saw the big man's boat go and said, "Tong Gongzi, I'll go in and change into a daughter's outfit." Tong Yunfei said: "It's okay, there are so many explanations in the province." After Hao Yan finished speaking, she entered the cabin.
The big man's boat soon came to the big boat, and the young man on the big boat said to the big man, 'Wu Dawei, what are you doing when you don't watch people fishing and come back?' Wu Dawei said: "I have something important to report to the helper." When the young man heard this, he hurriedly put down a ladder, and Wu Dawei followed the ladder to the big boat, and walked into the cabin hall to see the gang leader Wu Xiong and his sister Wu Ying, as well as Lu Fenfa and the other two helmsmen were eating and drinking, and Lu Fen found that he was already the deputy gang leader. Wu Xiong saw Wu Dawei come in, put down the wine glass, and said, "I heard that you came to me for something important, why is there something so urgent. Wu Dawei said: "There are two sons who said that Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Shaoxia sent them to find the helper, and I didn't dare to delay and brought them over." ’
After hearing this, Takeo immediately got up and said, "Where are these two sons, please hurry up." Wu Dawei said: "It's in the small boat below, I'll go and ask them to come up." Takeo said, 'I'll go with you.' Lu Fenfa said: "Helper, I'll just go and ask for it." Takeo said: "Zhang Shaoxia has a great favor to me, and his friend should be treated as a guest when he comes to the door, and I have to go and greet him personally." Lu Fenfa and the two helmsmen also went with him, and Takeo said, "You don't have to go, I will be the representative." After speaking, he walked out of the cabin hall with Wu Dawei.
