02

More than an hour has passed, the golden lion and the man in black are still sitting there, and Guo Dalu and they are still sitting there.

They are reluctant to go, and they can't go.

If Guo Dalu took out the ingot of gold to pay the bill, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling others that he was a thief?

The clamp finally came back, and Guo Dalu saw his face clearly.

His face was as if it were only skin and bones, with no expression or flesh.

The golden lion said, "How is it?"

The stick said: "That person is not surnamed Gao, surnamed Song, originally the account office of Zhangjiakou's 'Liaodong Niuyang', and he abducted the boss and fled here, so he didn't dare to publicize the gold if he lost it." ”

The golden lion sneered: "It seems that this is exactly his usual method, first grasp the handle of others and then attack." ”

"And the modus operandi is the same, it is clean and beautiful, the doors and windows are not moving, and the gold has been lost." ”

The golden lion said, "When did you lose it?"

"Last night." ”

Jin Lion said: "As long as he makes a move, it will be at least thirteen major cases, this is his old rule." ”

The stick said: "In addition to the one surnamed Song, I found out five more." ”

Jin Lion said: "Are these five families also carrying cases on their backs?"

The clamp said: "Not bad." Among them, there is actually a small leader who was the little leader of the land dragon king before washing his hands, and now he has married a wife and given birth to a child. ”

The golden lion said: "When they meet him, they are finally unlucky, so let them go." ”

The stick didn't speak, just looked at his hand and sneered.

The golden lion smiled and said, "Actually, I also know that you will never let go, as long as you have a little touch with the dragon king on the land, you will be unlucky." But you have to be careful, if you really encounter the dragon king and the poisonous snake on land, then you will be the unlucky. ”

The clamp stick was still sneering and did not speak.

The golden lion said: "In any case, it seems that the news we got is not wrong, he has indeed been hiding here all these years. ”

The stick said: "The person who told me the news would not be unreliable, otherwise how could I ask you to pay 10,000 taels?"

The golden lion said: "But since he has been nesting here for seven or eight years, why did he suddenly make another move?"

"It's called itchy hands." ”

They are not afraid of being heard by others at all, and of course Guo Dalu will not miss every word.

He couldn't deny that there were really two hits of this clamp.

But who is the "he" in their mouths?

The stick suddenly sneered again: "Since he was still here last night, he must still be nesting in this city." I've seen all the people who went out of the city this morning, except for a group of performers who were a little eye-catching, and the others were all regular people. ”

The golden lion said: "Will he take the thieves and the gang of entertainers out of the city?"

"No, look at the dust on the soles of their feet, they will never carry more than ten taels of silver." ”

The corners of the golden lion's mouth suddenly showed a malicious smile, and he said, "In this way, he must still be in the city." ”

Hearing this, Guo Dalu couldn't help but want to ask them: "How do you know that he didn't slip away from the path?

Of course, Guo Dalu can't ask.

Fortunately, there was no need for him to ask, and the stick himself had already said it.

"If he wants to make a move, it will be at least ten thousand taels of gold, and I have laid secret cards on all sides, and no one will want to slip away with tens of thousands of taels of gold. ”

The golden lion said: "Of course, he will never spit out what he eats again." This man saw that the money was like his life, and he famously swallowed the belt bones in one gulp, and he died without spitting it out when he swallowed it. ”

The clamp sneered: "This is his old problem, I have long known that this problem will kill him one day!"

The golden lion said: "But this person is too cunning, he is good at disguise, and he can shrink his bones, and even his height can be changed, and we may not be able to dig out his nest." ”

The clamp suddenly slapped the table and said, "If he can escape this time, I will change my surname." ”

The golden lion said: "Have you found the way?"

"I asked one by one, even if I asked for three months, I had to take him out of the nest." ”

The golden lion glanced at the man in black, seemed to frown again, and said, "Do you have to ask everyone in this city?"

"I also know it's a stupid method, but stupid methods often work. ”

The golden lion sighed again and said, "Where are you going to start asking?"

"This is it." ”

His eyes suddenly glared at Guo Dalu.

If it was someone else, there would have been a ghost in his heart, and if he was stared at like this, even if he was not frightened, his face would inevitably change color.

The stick is the stick, no matter who meets him, he never wants to tell the truth.

But Guo Dalu still smiled and didn't change his color, and he didn't care at all.

He didn't care about anything in the first place, not to mention that now his stomach was full of Yan Maoyuan's aged bamboo leaf green.

There was no expression on the clamp's face, his eyes kept staring at Guo Dalu's eyes, he slowly stood up and walked over slowly.

His face turned blue, his eyes were gloomy, and when the timid people saw him at night, they not only wanted to be forced out by him, but they might even be scared out of the urine.

"This person shouldn't be called a stick, he should be called a zombie. ”

This sentence almost reached Guo Dalu's mouth, and he almost said it - you must not think that he dare not say it, as soon as the wine reaches his stomach, the word "dare not" will already leave him for 108,000 miles.

It doesn't matter if Wang moves them: "As long as you make Guo Dalu's friend, you have to be ready to fight for him at any time." ”

Fights have long been a common occurrence for them.

Even Lin Taiping is no exception.

Although the eyes of the clamp were not glaring at him, his eyes were glaring at the clamp fiercely.

It seems that whether Guo Dalu said a wrong word, or asked a wrong word, this fight will start at any time.

Who knew that the golden lion suddenly said: "These people don't need to ask. ”

"Why?"

The golden lion smiled and said, "If they have a ghost in their stomach, how can they talk about my nose?"

It turned out that this man not only had a sharp nose, but also pointed ears.

Guo Dalu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You heard it all?"

The golden lion said: "Those who do our business must not only see the four directions, but also listen to the eight directions. ”

Guo Dalu said: "You're not angry?"

The golden lion smiled: "Why are you angry? Even if the nose is ugly, it is not ashamed at all." ”

Guo Dalu's impression of this person immediately improved, and said: "Not only is it not ashamed, but it is not ugly. Men want big noses, the bigger the better, and sensible women like men with big noses. ”

The golden lion laughed and said, "You don't have a small nose either. ”

Guo Dalu touched his nose and said with a smile: "So-so, it's okay." ”

The golden lion said, "You live in this city?"

Guo Dalu said: "It's not in the city, it's in the mountains." ”

The golden lion said: "There are also many people living on the mountain?"

Guo Dalu said: "There are only four of us who are alive, but there are many dead people. ”

The golden lion said, "Dead man?"

Guo Dalu said: "The place where we live is next to the cemetery, called Fugui Villa, you might as well come over and have a drink if you have time." ”

The golden lion said: "I must visit." ”

He stood up suddenly, and said, "Shopkeeper, settle accounts, and we are also waiting for the accounts of these people." ”

Guo Dalu jumped up and said: "What is this, we are landlords, you must let us do our best to be landlords." ”

Not only does he like to make friends, but he also likes to treat guests.

None of his friends are as fast as he is, and no one is as fast as he is to pay his debts. But this time he put his hand in his pocket, but he couldn't get it out.

He could not take out the ingot of gold in front of anyone.

Who knew that the golden lion no longer rushed to pay the bill, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you very much." ”

The clamp suddenly patted Guo Dalu's shoulder, and said coldly: "There must be a lot of chaos in the city in the past two days, it's better to stay at home if it's okay, so as not to come out and cause trouble." ”

He didn't let Guo Dalu speak, pressed his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Don't work to send each other, please sit." ”

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "I'm tired of sitting, so I want to stand." ”

The clamp used eighty percent of the force, and there was no reaction at all, he glanced Guo Dalu up and down a few times, and walked out without looking back.

Suddenly, the golden lion said, "Do you recognize the person on the other side?"

A rickety, gray-haired old man with a bucket of dirty water came out of the opposite door and poured a bucket of water on the ground.

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Of course I know, he is the old courtier of Liyuan Pawnshop, and we all call him skinned alive." ”

The golden lion's eyes were burning and he couldn't stop staring at the old man, until the old man turned around and walked in again, he smiled and said, "Everyone, let's take our leave first." ”

He caught up with the stick, and the two of them spoke softly, and walked together to the pawnshop.

Only then did the man in black slowly stand up and slowly walk in front of Guo Dalu and them.

Everyone drank with their heads down, and no one looked at him. Because every time I see him, it's like seeing a poisonous snake, and I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

The man in black did not stop, but suddenly called: "Huang Yuru, hello." ”

Everyone was stunned, and no one knew who he was talking to.

At this time, the man in black had already strode out.

Guo Dalu shook his head and muttered, "Is there something wrong with this person?"

Lin Taiping was staring at the long sword behind the man in black again, and said, "This sword is at least four feet and seven inches. ”

Yan Qidao: "You have good eyesight, you must also be a sword?"

Lin Taiping didn't seem to hear this, and said: "As far as I know, there are only three people in the martial arts who can make this kind of long sword. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh, which three?"

Lin Taiping said: "One is called Ding Yilang, it is said that he is the illegitimate son of the Fusang ronin Akagi Santaro and the Huangshan female swordsman Ding Li; ”

Yan Qi stared at him and said, "I didn't expect you to know more martial arts secrets than I did." ”

Lin Taiping hesitated for a long time and said, "I also listened to what others said. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What about the other two?"

Lin Taiping said: "The second one is the only successor of Gong Changhong's swordsmanship, called Gong Hongfan. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Gong Hongfan? This is simply a woman's name." ”

Yan Qi said: "She was originally a woman, do you think that a woman can't use such a long sword?"

Guo Dalu smiled: "I just think that the man in black can't be a woman." ”

Lin Taiping said: "I heard that Ding Yilang has recently traveled to Fusang to find his biological father, so this man in black can never be him." ”

Guo Dalu said: "What about the third one?"

Lin Taiping said: "This person's name is 'Sword Bottom Wandering Soul' Nangong Chou. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Isn't this a curse, how could he take such a name?"

Lin Taiping said: "Many years ago, there was a strange person in the rivers and lakes, called the 'Crazy Cross Sword', and none of the people who met him could escape from his sword, even the very prestigious 'Xishan Sanyou' and 'Jiangnan First Sword' were killed by him, only this Nangong Chou actually escaped from his sword. So Nangong Chou himself felt very proud, so he gave himself a nickname called the Sword Bottom Spirit. ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Defeated under someone's sword, he is still proud, this person is very interesting." ”

Lin Taiping said: "This person is not only boring, but also extremely boring. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Why?"

Lin Taiping said: "I heard that this person likes to kill people the most, sometimes for his own pleasure, and sometimes for money." And although he escaped from the cross sword by luck, he still had a big cross on his face, so he never wanted to see people with his true face. ”

Guo Dalu said: "In this way, this man in black must be him." ”

Wang Dong suddenly said: "This may not be. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Not necessarily?"

Wang Dong said: "How do you know that he is not a woman, not a palace red fan?"

Guo Dalu said: "Of course not." ”

Wang said, "Why? You have seen his face, you have seen his hands, you have seen his feet?...... He didn't let you see an inch, all you could see was his black clothes, men can wear such clothes, why can't women?"

Guo Dalu was stunned, stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "If he is a woman, it is very interesting, I really want to see what she looks like." ”

Yan Qi said leisurely: "As long as it's a woman, do you find it interesting?"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Most women are indeed more interesting than men, and being too ugly and old is naturally an exception." ”

Yan Qi sighed and said, "This person actually dares to say that he is not a pervert, who is he not?"

Wang Dong yawned and said, "I'm at least a little bit like a pervert." ”

Yan Qidao: "Which point?"

Wang Dong said: "I think of bed anytime and anywhere. ”

Bed.

Five boxes of gold beads were under the bed.

Even if he is the richest person in the world, he will not casually stuff these five boxes worth hundreds of millions under the bed, and walk out without even locking the door.

But that's what they did.

Because no one but themselves would have dreamed that there would be such a great treasure under this broken bed, and that the room was completely empty, and there was no place to hide the five chests except under the bed.

"Why not bury it in the ground?"

Yan Qi also proposed this, but Wang Dong was the first to resolutely oppose it.

"If we have to dig it up now, and we have to dig it out in two days, why bury it now, if we have to dig it out?"

Lazy people always have good reasons to refuse to do things.

Wang Dong's reason is of course the most sufficient.

Now, of course, he was in bed again.

Guo Dalu was practicing hard to drink upside down, and he heard that there were "prison drinks" and even "corpse drinks" when drinking, so he was determined to practice this "hanging drink".

If there is someone in this world who can drink with his eyes, even if there is only one person, he will never admit defeat, and he will not stop until he has practiced like that person.

Lin Taiping sat on the stone steps at the door, holding his head in his hands, and he didn't know if he was in a daze, or was he thinking about something?

He seems to be younger than anyone else, but his heart is heavier than anyone else's.

Yan Qi didn't know where he had slipped away? This person's actions always seemed to be a bit mysterious, and he would often sneak out and hide alone, and no one knew what he was doing.

The night seemed to be deep, and it seemed to be early.

It has been said, "Time is the master of all things, and only time is eternal." ”

This does not seem to be quite true here.

The people here don't use their time, but they don't make slaves to it.

When Guo Dalu finished drinking the third bowl of wine, Lin Taiping suddenly stood up from the stone steps.

His expression was excited and serious, just like the expression of a decisive general when he was about to announce a very important tactic to his subordinates.

It's just that no matter how serious a person's expression is, if you look at it upside down, he will become very funny like that, and the sip of wine that Guo Dalu just drank almost couldn't help but squirt out.

Lin Taiping said: "I have something to say. ”

Guo Dalu couldn't help but laugh: "I can see it." ”

Lin Taiping said: "There is a person in this city, who not only has very high martial arts, but also knows how to disguise and shrink bones, and has done many cases that have caused headaches for the government. ”

Guo Dalu blinked and said, "It seems that you are not the only one who knows about this matter, I seem to have heard of it." ”

Lin Taiping said: "Not only do you know, but you also know about sour plum soup." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh?"

Lin Taiping said: "Not only does she know, but she must also have an enmity with this person." ”

Guo Dalu said: "There is a feud?"

Lin Taiping said: "But she is the same as us, she only knows that this person is hiding in the city, but she doesn't know where he is hiding? What identity is used as a cover? Although she wants to seek revenge on him, she can't find it, so she ......."

Guo Dalu suddenly felt that he was not as ridiculous as just now, and he flipped down with a heel and said, "So what?"

Lin Taiping said: "So she thought of asking someone else to find out this person on her behalf." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Of course she knows that the best people in the world are sticks and golden retriever poodles." ”

Lin Taiping said: "She also knew that they had all arrived nearby, so she first thought of going to report the news and let them know: This famous thief is hiding in the city." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Then she came back to this city herself, and did seventeen or eighteen headless cases overnight, and deliberately imitated the thief's modus operandi, so that the stick and the golden retriever poodle believed that these cases were all committed by him." ”

Lin Taiping said: "This is not the most important point. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What is the most important thing?"

Lin Taiping said: "As soon as she does this, the stick and the golden retriever poodle can confirm that this famous thief is indeed in the city, and then they will seriously look for it." People of their status will naturally never work hard for the sake of a little bit of news. ”

Guo Dalu said: "But she still has a problem. ”

Lin Taiping said: "Her problem is that she can't get rid of the stolen goods for a while, and she can't transport them out, because she knows that the sticks and poodles have come." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Yes, this kind of eye-catching and hot thing, even if it is not easy to hide." ”

Lin Taiping said: "Not only is it not easy, but it also takes a lot of work, so ......"

Guo Dalu smiled bitterly: "So, she has to find someone to hide these things for her, but why didn't she look for anyone and found me instead?"

Lin Taiping said: "Of course she knows that you live here, and she also knows that this place doesn't even want ghosts to come, and hiding the thieves and stolen goods here is like ......"

Guo Dalu said: "It's as safe and reliable as hiding wine in your stomach." ”

Wang Dong suddenly said: "This is not the most important reason. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh?"

Wang Dong said: "The most important thing is that the person she finds to do this kind of thing must be a fool who does things so-so, and will make friends when she sees cats and dogs." ”

Wang Dong not only did not move, but also rarely spoke.

What he says is often the conclusion.

But the person who came to the conclusion this time was not him, it was Guo Dalu himself.

Guo Dalu sighed and said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter if you see a cat or a dog making friends, only those who can't walk when they see a beautiful woman are really bastards plus level eight." ”

Lin Taiping frowned and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Guo Dalu pointed to his nose and said, "That's what I'm talking about." ”

In fact, Guo Dalu is not really confused, but there are many things that he doesn't bother to think about seriously, as long as he thinks about it, he understands it better than anyone else.

Lin Taiping suddenly said again: "You have done one thing wrong. ”

Guo Dalu sighed: "It is not uncommon for Mr. Guo to do something wrong, but it is a miracle to do it right." ”

Lin Taiping said: "You shouldn't have used that ingot of gold to pay the bill just now." ”

Guo Dalu said: "I don't have to pay the bill with that ingot of gold, do I use my own fingers to pay? Don't forget that you just drank no less than me." ”

Lin Taiping said: "If the stick and the golden retriever poodle knew that we paid the bill with gold, they would definitely wonder where the gold of these poor ghosts came from, and then our trouble will come." ”

Guo Dalu said: "I'll also tell you a few things, okay?"

Lin Taiping said: "Okay." ”

Guo Dalu said: "First, the stick and the poodle will not know at all, because Mai Laoguang is by no means a mouthy person. ”

Lin Taiping said: "With the first, of course, there is the second. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Second, Mr. Guo has a few ingots of gold on him, which is not unprecedented, and it is not worth making a fuss. What's more, there is not even a single mark on the ingot of gold, I have already checked it, and whoever dares to say that it was stolen will give him a few big mouths first. ”

Lin Taiping said: "Is there anything else?"

Guo Dalu said: "Also, everyone has to eat, if we want to eat, we have to pay the bill with that ingot of gold." ”

I only listened to one person: "This is the most important point, the person you are looking for in the sour plum soup must not only be a lustful fool, but also a poor and hungry fool." ”

This is also the conclusion.

This time, it was not Wang Dong who made the conclusion, it was Yan Qi.

Every time Yan Qi appeared, it was as vague as when he disappeared.

Guo Dalu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This person looks like a human no matter who he talks to, but I don't know why, he always likes to stink me." ”

Yan Qi smiled and said, "If you weren't my friend, it would be very difficult for you to beg me to stink." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Wang Dong is also your friend, why don't you stink him?"

Wang Dong smiled: "You can stink my words have been said by you, do you still need others to speak?"

Guo Dalu also smiled, walked over and patted Yan Qi's shoulder, and said, "Where did you slip away this time?"

Yan Qi said: "I...... I went out for a walk. ”

He doesn't seem to like others touching him very much, and every time Guo Dalu touches him, he seems to feel very unaccustomed, perhaps because few people touch him except Guo Dalu.

As long as they saw his clothes, others were already vomiting even for overnight dinner.

Guo Dalu said: "Where have you been shopping?"

Yan Qi said: "Under the mountain, in the city." ”

Guo Dalu said: "What is there to visit in that place?"

Yan Qidao: "Who said no?"

Guo Dalu said: "Yes?"

Yan Qi said: "Didn't you see a big beauty carrying two baskets last night?"

Guo Dalu said: "What did you see tonight?"

Yan Qi said: "Kill." ”

Guo Dalu said in horror: "Killing, who kills?"

Yan Qi said: "Stick." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Who killed with a stick?"

Yan Qi said: "Someone who is suspicious." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Who is the suspect, and what is the suspicion?"

Yan Qi said: "The person the stick is looking for is a man in his fifties, who came here ten years ago, so any man who moved here ten years ago is suspicious, and it may be Feng Qiwu." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Who is Feng Qiwu?"

Yan Qidao: "Feng Qiwu is the person the stick is looking for." ”

Lin Taiping suddenly said: "The Feng Qiwu you are talking about, is it 'chicken and dog do not stay' Feng Qiwu?"

Yan Qi said: "It's him." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Why did a person with such an elegant name have such an ugly nickname?"

Yan Qidao: "Because he has to steal all the people as soon as he starts, sometimes he doesn't even leave a penny for others, and some people are ruined by him, and only he hangs himself to wipe his neck, so although he has not killed anyone, there are many people who have been forced to death by him." ”

Lin Taiping said: "I heard that this person is not only black-hearted, but also regards money as his life, and he is reluctant to spend the stolen money." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Could it be that he used all the stolen money to help others and did good deeds?"

Yan Qi said: "This person has done everything in his life, but he has never done anything good." ”

Guo Dalu said: "So where did his money go?"

Yan Qi said: "No one knows. ”

Guo Dalu pondered for a long time and said, "How many people are suspected of this kind in the city?"

Yan Qidao: "It's not much, but now it's even less." ”

Guo Dalu said: "How many sticks have been killed?"

Yan Qi said: "Five or six, six or seven." ”

Guo Dalu glared and said, "He killed someone, and you watched from the side?"

Yan Qidao: "Now I don't even bother to look at it." ”

Guo Dalu glared at him, suddenly jumped up and rushed out.

Wang Dong sighed and muttered, "Why do I always have to move since I knew him?"

Although Guo Dalu is not confused, he is very impulsive.

He should have asked Yan Qi first, "Who are the people killed by the stick?"

He didn't ask, because he knew that a stick would never kill a good thing.

He understood it very well, but he still couldn't help but be impulsive. It's not a good habit, but it's at least much better than those who are cold-hearted and insensitive.
