When the goshawk heard this, he was secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but stay in his mind, and thought: "My brother and I are drinking and chatting here, and we are really a little carried away, and we don't know that this old man is eavesdropping on the side? What is the origin of this person? Is it an official or a thief?

Gui Yanran hurriedly got up and sang, and said, "The seniors are polite. "I poured a glass of wine here, drank it all by myself, and flipped the glass to show it. The old man laughed, looked at the goshawk, the goshawk was helpless, and also saw that the old man's martial arts were mediocre, thinking that he had no malice, but he didn't want to be associated with him, so he dragged his feet, stood up crookedly, drank lazily, and said: "Lao Tzu has finished drinking, old man, you can go back." ”

The old man had a good temper and said in a low voice: "The old man's subordinates were by the bridge before, and when they saw the two of them showing their skills, beating seven or eight ruffians to run away like dogs, they admired it in their hearts, and secretly screamed happily, and they wanted to make friends with the two Panpan and make friends. If the two are good friends and good men, it is better to listen to the old man. ”

Goshawk thought to himself: "This old man is well-informed, and he is only afraid that he has a lot of power in the town, so let's listen to what he has to say." He sat up straight, shook his head, and said, "Brother, please speak, my brothers and I will listen to you." He said that he was listening to his ears, and he really poured the wine into his ears and rubbed it.

The old man saw that this person was so lazy and nonsense, and only said that he was an unreliable drunk, so he hesitated slightly, but then he thought: "At the moment of employing people, but even if he has solid martial arts and has nothing to do with the government, and he is not pulled into the gang on the spot, how does he care about his character?" So he said in a low voice: "Two, the old man has a big grievance here." It is necessary to recruit manpower to act chivalrous and punish traitors. Catch the murderer!"

The goshawk scratched his head, nodded, and asked, "What injustice?

The old man said: "There are many people here, and the wall has ears, so I can't say it clearly for the time being, if the two of you have a heart, it is better to follow the old man on a road." Find a place to talk. ”

Gui Yanran had just beaten up the bully and traitor, and his heart was active, so he hadn't agreed yet. The expression on his face was already excited, the goshawk was also a good person, listening to the mystery of what the old man said, it was not worrying that he had any tricks. Immediately agreed. The old man led the two out of the teahouse. Turn around, cross the bridge and cross the alley, walk out of about three miles, and come to a dark alley that does not last in winter.

Gui Yanran heard that there was a lot of breathing in front of him, there were a lot of people, and there seemed to be some ambush, so he couldn't help but look towards the goshawk, and asked, "Big brother." There are a lot of people here, how are we okay?"

The goshawk replied, "Wen has a fight." Wu has martial arts, what are the plans of the opponent, let's take the host, why bother to take the lead?" Gui Yanran saw that he was calm and calm, and gradually relieved, but he forgot that the goshawk had long been a habitual offender of provocation and the vanguard of the war.

As soon as the old man entered the alley, seventeen or eighteen people walked out of the neighborhood, each with thick shoulders and round waists, and strong flesh, and several of them held swords with fierce expressions, glaring straight at the two brothers.

The goshawk changed color and shouted, "Old man, are you calculating my two brothers?"

Seeing that the goshawk was panicked, the old man was even more relieved, arched his hand, smiled, and was polite, and said: "You two don't need to panic, these are the old man's subordinates, how dare you be rude to the two? Everyone, say hello to the two heroes!"

Everyone was in chaos, raising their hands to greet casually, their expressions were quite perfunctory, it was okay not to open their mouths, as soon as they opened their mouths, they knew that they were idle, just a group of street bandits.

The old man said again: "The old man is also a bit of a thin name in Jiujiang Town, his name is Huang Songgong, and he is called Huang Erye. It is quite ashamed to lead these brothers around him to do some secret business and disgraceful transactions. He said that he was ashamed, but his expression was quite complacent, and it seemed that he was not bad at making a profit in this transaction.

Goshawk said: "Second Master Huang, our two brothers are short-term workers who carry goods at the dock, my name is Pengyuan, his name is Gui Yanran, we are fine, I guess you already know it in your heart?"

The old man said, "Naturally, naturally. Quietly, but his eyes were rolling, he must not know anything about these two people, he touched his beard, and said: "Don't tell you two that I want to invite you here to make a big deal." ”

Goshawk asked, "What deal?"

The old man said: "Kidnap and arrest people! ”

Goshawk and Gui Yanran were startled, and Gui Yanran hurriedly asked, "Who are you catching?"

The old man did not hide it, and said: "The person we want to arrest is very famous in Jiujiang Town, but he is a tyrannical Huahua Tai Sui, who robs the people's daughters and beats people to serve in a pretentious manner, and he can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights, but this person's bad deeds are far more than that, the people in this town don't know, this person secretly colluded with the Tartars, and captured a lot of Han people as slaves and sent them to serve in a prince's mansion, once he left, no one could come back alive. ”

The goshawk said angrily: "Sure enough, it is a dog thief and a bad party! Who is this person? If there is a chance, Lao Tzu will definitely arrest him and kill him to vent his hatred!"

Huang Songgong was filled with indignation when he saw him, and hurriedly said: "This person's name is Bai Hun Tian, and he is the third son of Bai Shichuan, the white uncle of Jiujiang Mu Shuaikou, and everyone calls him the third young master Bai. ”

Goshawk and Gui Yanran said in unison, "Is it him?"

Huang Song Gongqi said: "What?

Goshawk laughed and said, "How could you not know each other? Half a year ago, the two of us crossed the river by boat, and were robbed by these two ancestors, and were almost sold overseas as livestock, and were shipwrecked on the way. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, it's not that rabbits don't eat grass, it's not that enemies don't get together, we have suffered a big loss from this person, and I didn't expect to meet here again. ”

Huang Song Gong said happily: "Since this is the case, it is not better." Did you two agree?"

Goshawk said: "This is natural, but I don't know what the reward is? How is the arrangement? When will we do it? What precautions does the enemy have? What is the strength of our side?"

Huang Songgong heard it: Okay, it turns out that he is not an outsider, he has long been an expert, and seeing that he asked the point, I am afraid that he usually becomes a robber. So he said: "The deposit is thirty per person, and if it can be done, add another seventy to make up the whole number." This Bai Hun Tian is the most arrogant and domineering, among the three brothers, he is the most skilled in kung fu, and he is responsible for talking with the Tartars. Moreover, he and the local prefect called him brother and brother, and there was a lot of collusion, if he could not succeed for a while, it would be difficult to act in the future. ”

Hearing this, Goshawk was worried, and asked: "Seven or eight masters, what is the depth of your martial arts, what are the so-called masters, what is the depth of martial arts? Are the people you bring are these brothers behind you?" He saw that the kung fu of everyone behind him was poor, maybe it was worse than Huang Songgong, if he made a rash move, he was afraid that he would throw himself into the net, but let the enemy catch him.

Huang Songgong didn't realize it, but he was proud, and said with a smile: "Brother Peng, return to brothers, everyone is open and honest at this time, don't deceive each other." Lao Huang I am not an ordinary Jianghu person, but the helmsman of the famous Jianglong Gang, in charge of many affairs in Jiujiang Town. There are elite soldiers and strong generals under him. But the elite under his command are gathered here today. With the things of these eighteen brothers, it is really easy to catch the white muddy sky, and it is easy to catch it. ”

Gui Yanran couldn't help but say, "Since it's so easy, then why do you need our two brothers to help?"

Huang Songgong's face was full of respect, and he said: "The old man was wandering around the bridge before, and he saw the two of them teaching the dog officer a lesson, and he was really relieved, he was a chivalrous man of my generation, and he had the heart to make friends with the two, join my Jianglong Gang, gallop the rivers and lakes with all the brothers, and share wealth and happiness!"

Goshawk has tasted the hardships of the gang, and he has relatives in his heart, so why do he still want to wade into such troubled waters? Gui Yanran is naturally afraid of things, so he only cares about his own peace of mind, and he doesn't want to get involved. The two secretly discussed for a while, and the goshawk said: "Lao Huang, you said that you would help you catch the traitor, my brothers and sisters are duty-bound and will never regret it, but we can't agree to join the gang." ”

Hearing the resignation of the two of them, he became anxious and said: "Are the two of us Jianglong Gang just a group of bandits and robbers? Wrong, wrong, very wrong, putting the cart before the horse! In the past, our Jianglong Gang had a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, but in the past two years, it has not been what it used to be. Since the new gang leader Li Linhong took office, our Jianglong Gang has rectified the gang affairs, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and has the great ambition of expelling the Tatars and opposing the Yuan and Song Dynasty."

The goshawk jumped up all of a sudden, couldn't hold his tongue in shock, and stammered and asked, "Again, what's the name of your helper?"

Huang Songgong looked respectful, arched his hand to the sky, and said: "I'm talking about the former imperial court military department Shangshu, the meritorious general Li Linhong and Li Da!"

Hearing this, the goshawk laughed heartily and shouted: "The secretary of the military department? Lao Li has really become the secretary of the military department? Thinking of escorting Xiao Sheng with Li Linhong, the little emperor did give him such an official title, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, and secretly thought: "Lao Li actually became the leader of this gang, there must be a mystery in it, maybe Xiao Sheng also returned to the Central Plains, I can't say, I have to think of meeting them secretly to see if they are safe and sound." ”

Gui Yanran saw that the goshawk was laughing violently, and tears flowed, and she couldn't help asking, "Big brother, what's so funny about this? Do you know this Li Linhong Li Gang Leader?" Huang Songgong and the others were also puzzled and speculated.

The goshawk stood up straight, wiped away his tears, looked solemn, and said with a clenched fist: "The helmsman and your brothers are above, and I will bow to my brothers!"

Huang Songgong was overjoyed, hurriedly supported the two, and said, "From now on, we will all be a family." There are difficulties and blessings to share, you follow me Huang Songgong, and you will not worry about eating and drinking from now on, and the gold and silver will continue. ”

Goshawk said: "Let's not talk about good things first, let's talk about this big thing of hoeing and catching murderers." Second Master Huang, when are we going to do it, and where is the location?"

Huang Songgong didn't dare to slack off, took out a map, drew it quite finely, and said: "A month ago, this Bai Hun Tian led people to break into the passenger ship of our Jianglong Gang, captured many people, and set fire to our ship. Almost all of the remaining guests and boatmen on board died, and only one barely escaped with his life to tell the story, if it weren't for that, we still don't know what the bully was up to. It is also God who has eyes to make the evil deeds of this traitor shine. (To be continued......)
