Chapter 6: A Young Hero, a Blessing in Disguise in Trouble (40)
Wu Dexing listened to his assistant's proposal, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he accepted the construction yì, he selected six capable brothers in the Qinhuai branch, led by his two assistants each three, respectively to the Qinglou, gambling houses, wine shops, inns and gang headquarters to implement the exploration plan, before leaving, Wu Dexing carefully explained to them, he particularly emphasized: " In order to avenge the head of the hall Jia, we must find a way to ask the shopkeepers and the leaders of the gang to help us find out Xiao Beiyou's whereabouts, this matter is very important, please do your best!"
The two assistants led the people away, and Wu Dexing himself also went out, and he also found a shopkeeper of a wine store to ask him for news.
The shopkeeper of the wine shop said to him: "Master Wu, I am very willing to help you, but I have also heard of Xiao Beiyou in the next place, he is an unusual character, not long ago, I heard that the police department sent a lot of people to a small street to besiege him, but failed to catch him, now, the people of the police department must have been looking for him, you think about it, the police department has so many informants, they can't find Xiao Beiyou, we want to find him, it will be very difficult." β
"Shopkeeper Zhao, in the wine shop, you are an old qualification, you know the business rules of the wine shop very well, the wine shop and the news are inseparable, you know a lot of guests, know a lot of news, your customers will be more and more, so, please help inquire is not unreasonable, it is because you have a way, I came to you, if it is not difficult, there is no need to find you. Wu Dexing said.
"Well, you're always so talkative. You came to ask me for help, can I not be busy? However, I can't guarantee that there will be any definite news. Shopkeeper Zhao said.
"You have a lot of connections, as long as you try your best to help me, I believe that I will be able to get things done! I take my leave, waiting for your good news. Wu Dexing said.
Wu Dexing's assistants led people around to inquire, and one of the assistants found a small gang leader to find out the situation, and when he got the news, he said that in a quiet alley, an old man who lived in it had died not long ago. Originally. The gang leader was eager to occupy the place, but recently he had been inhabited by a dashing young man who rarely socialized with people. This gang leader looks dignified when he sees the newcomer who doesn't come in. I didn't dare to ask him about the situation alone. He was about to find a few accomplices to go with him to the young man.
Wu Dexing's assistant got the news and hurriedly asked the gangster to take him there to keep an eye on him, and they stayed there all day. Sure enough, in the evening, I saw a dashing young man walk into the alley, they didn't dare to follow too closely, and when the young man entered a house, they approached, they remembered the house, Wu Dexing didn't know Xiao Beiyou, but with his experience in the rivers and lakes, he felt that this young man was very likely to be Xiao Beiyou, he told the gang leader to send someone to monitor him, but he ordered that the young man must not be alarmed, if the young man went out, don't follow him, just wait for him to come back.
Wu was fortunate enough to return to the Qinhuai branch hall, where he was waiting for news from the others, and he decided to report to Feng Zhenyuan tomorrow, thinking that if the report was too fast, Feng Zhenyuan would think that things would be easy to do.
The informant of the Yuanshan faction lurking in a shop suddenly encountered Feng Zhenyuan's visit, and he got a set of monk's clothes for Feng Zhenyuan according to Feng Zhenyuan's order, he didn't know what Feng Zhenyuan wanted such a set of monk's clothes for, and he didn't dare to ask, he would definitely not think that Feng Zhenyuan's set of monk's clothes was not to conduct investigations, but to deceive the third aunt outside the money clerk.
Feng Zhenyuan also asked the informant lurking in the shop to find out a young martial arts master, named Xiao Beiyou, who was originally from the Jingshan faction and was later expelled from the mountain, and Feng Zhenyuan asked him to find out Xiao Beiyou's current whereabouts.
The informant has always respected Feng Zhenyuan, and he thinks that Feng Zhenyuan is particularly tactful, so he works very hard to do what Feng Zhenyuan explains, and he finds several people from inns and gambling houses and two people in the streets and alleys who are specially designed to inquire about the news, and promises them a considerable bounty if they have news.
Two days later, a person from the street came to report to him that Xiao Beiyou had just been besieged by the police in a street not long ago, but he successfully broke through and was not caught, and now he does not know where he is.
The person who inquired about the news said to the informant: "The place where Xiao Beiyou lived before was in a small building in the streets and alleys, which shows that he did not dare to live in the inn, and now the people from the police department must also be investigating him, so it is very likely that he will continue to live in the houses in the small streets and alleys, and we must focus on such places." β
The informant felt that he had a point, and gave him a tael of silver to continue his investigation, and the street thugs who inquired about the news took the money and left.
On the second day, the inquirer came to the informant, saying that he had found a dead person in an alley, but a few days earlier there lived a dashing young man, who was secretive and never greeted people, and went alone.
The inquirer thought that this person was most likely the person the informant was looking for, and he swore that he thought his observation was very accurate, and he asked the informant for money, and the informant followed him to the alley, and they watched the place, and the informant took the informant into the alley, and quietly pointed to a house and said, "That young man lives in here." β
At this time, the informant sensed that there seemed to be someone watching around, and he became vigilant and pulled the inquirer away.
In the old house, Feng Zhenyuan was sipping tea, and he felt that it was time for someone to report the news.
Ling Fenglei came back first, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Master Feng has returned, there must be good news?"
Feng Zhenyuan said: "Someone should come to report the news, what about you? You must have also found out important news, and you are in good spirits." β
"I heard some news, it is said that Xiao Beiyou once made up and sneaked into the 'Ming Shi Building', wanting to inquire about the secrets of Brother Leng, but why didn't Brother Leng report this matter to the head of the house? Later, Xiao Beiyou was discovered by Brother Leng and evacuated. Mingshilou', however, when Xiao Beiyou lived in a small building in a small street and alley, he was quickly known by the people of the Police Division, and they dispatched many people to besiege Xiao Beiyou, but he escaped, and I heard that an important person in the Police Division was also injured by Xiao Beiyou, but unfortunately, where Xiao Beiyou is now, I haven't been able to find out for a while. Ling Fenglei said.
"Brother Ling, although the news you heard is not the latest, it is also very important, which allows us to know Xiao Beiyou's previous whereabouts, which helps to speculate on the law of his actions, in addition, Xiao Beiyou can directly live in the 'Mingshi Building' as him, he is a good friend of the Murong brothers, Brother Leng should receive him, why does he want to put on makeup and live in? If we had known about this earlier, wouldn't it be more conducive to exploring Xiao Beiyou's whereabouts?" Feng Zhenyuan knew that Ling Fenglei had always been at odds with Leng Ferret, and he agreed with Ling Fenglei's question, asking him to strengthen his suspicion of Leng Ferret.
At this time, Wu was fortunate to come back, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Feng Junshi, Ling Daxia, do you feel okay living here?"
He didn't know that Feng Zhenyuan and Ling Fenglei had also gone out to run errands, thinking that they had been living inside, waiting for the people from the Blue Coat Society to find out the news.
"Hall Master Wu, thank you very much! This place is so good, it is elegant, quiet and comfortable, we don't want to move when we drink tea here, it's so comfortable, come, you can also drink a cup of tea!" Feng Zhenyuan said.
"Hall Master Wu, you must have heard important news, right?" Ling Fenglei was very anxious and asked directly.
Wu Dexing drank a cup of tea, he put the teacup down gently, and said slowly: "I heard an important news, and nine times out of ten it is Xiao Beiyou's residence." β
As soon as Feng and Ling heard this, they immediately listened attentively to him as he continued, and Wu Dexing continued: " According to the investigation of the head of a small gang, there is an alley in a quiet street, there are few houses in the alley, one of the houses used to live an old man, the old man died a few days ago, the head of the small gang wanted to seize this house, but a few days ago lived in a dashing young man, this person is secretive, alone, never greets the neighbors, the head of the small gang saw that he was dignified, very majestic, did not dare to go to him to rob the house, was thinking about a few days to call his little brother to rob the house together, just went down to inquire, he told sΓΉ in the next, in the next and he went to the alley to observe the house, according to the experience of the following, That house is really suitable for Xiao Beiyou to live in now, let the little gang leader watch it, and hurry back to report to you. β
Feng Zhenyuan and Ling Fenglei listened to it and felt that what he said was very reasonable, and at the same time admired that the Blue Coat Society had a good way to get news, Feng Zhenyuan said: " Great, according to what you said, that place is really very likely to be where Xiao Beiyou lives now, Master Wu, it seems that you have to work hard, you and your assistant must personally monitor that place, the head of the small gang is unreliable, we are more relieved if you go, we can't alarm him, if you can see the person who lives in it come out, with your rich experience, you should be able to judge whether that person is Xiao Beiyou. β
"Master Feng doesn't have to be polite, you should do your best, what kind of hard work will it be, I'll go, you wait for my good news!" Wu Dexing said.
At this time, one of Wu Dexing's assistants came in and reported: "There is a person from a shop who said that Feng Junshi asked him to report the situation, and he knew that Feng Junshi was here and asked to come in!"
"Invite him in, he's an informant I arranged, I ordered him to investigate the day before yesterday, maybe there's news. Feng Zhenyuan said.
The informant walked in, and he said, "Ling Daxia is also here, little one to meet you!"
"You're welcome, tell me quickly, is there any news?" Ling Fenglei said.
The informant looked at Wu Dexing, who was standing next to him, and asked, "Who is this??" οΌβ
Feng Zhenyuan said: "Say it, this is the hall master of the Qinhuai Branch of the Blue Coat Society, your own people, you can say it quickly!"
Feng Zhenyuan, Ling Fenglei, and Wu Dexing didn't expect that the information found out by the informant was the same as what the gang leader said.
Feng Zhenyuan thought: "Xiao Beiyou may really live in that place, otherwise, how could they be so coincidental in what they investigated?" (to be continued......)
