Chapter 103: The Dust Settles
The arrest operation has ended, and An Dake also sent people to control Yan Zhigang. Tang Ning wanted to test An Dake, so he proposed the idea of leaving to An Dake the next day.
An Dake was stunned at first, and then asked Tang Ning to stay. Tang Ning didn't refuse, An Dake said to let him stay, so he nodded and didn't mention it anymore.
Seeing An Dake's dazed look, Tang Ning knew that this guy was being polite to himself by letting him stay.
But An Dake said everything, Tang Ning did the same, and he couldn't drive Tang Ning away anymore.
For the next two days, Downing did not appear again. I've been nesting in the inn and chatting with the man with the scar who was caught.
The two chatted on a variety of topics, and Tang Ning hoped to take advantage of this to knock on the side, so that he could find out who the person behind him was from the unconscious words of the scar man.
But the results are not very ideal, and the scar man is very vigilant. When facing Tang Ning, he spoke slowly, as if every word had to be considered before he dared to say it.
For two days, Tang Ning found nothing, and the only thing he received was that he knew that this scar man was also a well-educated intellectual.
The people from the Criminal Department finally arrived, and Tang Ning was invited to the mansion. Taking advantage of the fact that the commissioner sent by the Criminal Department to deal with the matter chatted with An Dake, Tang Ning went to the government prison, and he wanted to see Yan Zhigang.
Yan Zhigang's state was very haggard, not that he was disheartened, but that he hadn't had a good meal in the past few days.
The jailer had long been unhappy with his high-minded attitude, and now that Yan Zhigang had fallen into his hands, he would definitely take the opportunity to abuse Yan Zhigang.
When Tang Ning came to the government prison, the jailer immediately flattered the main door of the prison and welcomed Tang Ning in.
Lin Wei carried the knife in front of him and went around a lot, and then nodded at Tang Ning, he didn't find that there was an ambush inside.
Tang Ning followed Lin Wei in, led the way by the jailer in front, and several people followed the passage in the prison towards the special cell where Yan Zhigang was held.
The prison was filled with a strange smell, the smell of excrement mixed with the smell of mold.
The smell of decay seemed to permeate every corner of the prison, and the prisoners in the cells did not even have the strength to stand up and shout.
Everyone is a thin bamboo pole with yellow face and thin muscles, and occasionally there are a few tall strong men, but they are also covered in bruises, huddled in a corner of the cell and pretending to sleep.
Downing glanced twice and didn't look again, the jailer led him to a wooden door, and through the space in the door, Downing could see an old man with a white beard sitting on a pile of thatch without saying a word.
"He's not going to die, is he?" Tang Ning asked with a frown.
The weather is hot, and the inside of this airtight prison is even hotter. Yan Zhigang seems to be quite old, and such an environment is indeed a bit risky for him.
The jailer smiled and said, "Don't worry, Danyang Hou, Lord Yan is the object of our focus here." The cell boss gave the order, he said
Even if the villain is dead, he can't let Lord Yan make any mistakes. ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Then you cell boss really take good care of Lord Yan...... Open the door, Ben Hou wants to say a few words to Lord Yan. ”
"This opens for you." As he spoke, the jailer pulled out the key and opened the lock of the wooden door in two or two clicks.
Hearing the movement of unlocking the door outside, Yan Zhigang in the prison raised his head and said, "What, the old man has just had breakfast, and it's time for dinner?" It's been so fast today......"
"Lord Yan." The jailer pushed open the door and sneered, "A noble person has come to see you." ”
The jailer said, and stepped aside. Downing walked from behind him to the cell.
Yan Zhigang looked at Tang Ning in front of him and was a little puzzled. He doesn't know this junior, who is he? See what you do?
"Lord Yan." Tang Ning arched his hand towards Yan Zhigang and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to meet you for the first time in this way." ”
"Who are you?" Yan Zhigang frowned and asked, "Should the old man know you?" ”
"Lord Yan doesn't know who is down there, but it's too much to say. But you can go from here, black batch after batch of things. Downing looked around, and there was no place to sit, so he leaned against the wall, hugged his arms and said.
Yan Zhigang suddenly realized, pointed at Tang Ning and said, "You are the Marquis of Danyang?" ”
"Exactly." Tang Ning smiled: "Lord Yan recognizes it now?" ”
Yan Zhigang's face also showed a hint of a smile, he arched his hand towards Tang Ning, and the shackles made a loud sound: "I heard that Danyang Hou is a talent, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its name."
When the old man is about to die, it is a blessing to be able to see the Marquis of Danyang. ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "Lord Yan has won the award, compared to Lord Yan, Tang is really nothing."
Lord Yan is extraordinarily courageous, which is the only one seen in Tang's life. For Lord Yan's courage, Tang has been extremely admired since he heard about it.
Looking at the world, I am afraid that none of the people who are bold enough to be on the right side of Lord Yan will be found! ”
Yan Zhigang laughed and arched his hand: "Thank you, thank you." Danyang Hou did not hesitate to praise the old man, which really made the old man very pleased.
All the previous things were for the sake of begging for food. If there is any offense, Danyang Hou will forgive me. ”
When Tang Ning heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Lord Yan, it's a little boring for you to say this, right?" You hacked the weapons and food of the Zhenguo Army once, and it was enough for you to spend it in your life.
But you've been hacked for more than half a year, five times. What's the matter, are you planning to spend the next five lifetimes? ”
"Danyang Hou, you have children, you should understand. As parents, we always want to save the best for them. The old man did his best, just to save some savings for them, so that the old man's children and grandchildren would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
If you do the math, this money will never be
Enough to spend. ”
"It's the first time Tang has heard someone talk about the lack of greed so fresh and refined." Tang Ning had to clench his fists: "Your thick skin really makes Tang willing to bow down." ”
"Take, take." Yan Zhigang chatted with Tang Ning for a while, and it seemed that he was in a very good mood. While brushing his beard, he asked with a smile: "Danyang Hou must not have come to the old man to say such nonsense, I don't know what Danyang Hou wants to ask from the old man?"
If there is something that the old man can answer, the old man will definitely not hide it from Danyang Hou. ”
"You shouldn't hide it." Tang Ning pursed his lips: "Since you have said so, then let's open the skylight and say something." I want to know where all the weapons you hacked from the Zhenguo Army have gone. ”
"Yan Hui Gang." Yan Zhigang replied very simply: "They are the main buyers of these weapons, and they buy weapons from the old man, not asking where they come from, only asking about the price." ”
Tang Ning turned his head to look at Lin Wei, who shook his head. So Tang Ning frowned and asked, "What kind of gang is the Yanhui Gang?" ”
"Almost ten years ago, I appeared on Hebei East Road, at first it was just a group of bandits, and then I gave up the promising profession of bandits and turned to become an arms dealer.
Arms and armor were sold to the gold, bandits, robbers, as well as those of the nomadic peoples for a long time. When Yan Zhigang said this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Danyang Hou, you have to be careful."
The leader of this Yanhui Gang, although you don't know him, he is quite jealous of you. ”
Tang Ning sighed and asked casually, "From the White Lotus Society?" ”
"Definitely."
"What's that?"
"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak."
"So this mystery still has to be explored by Tang himself?"
Yan Zhigang said with a smile: "When you uncover the mystery by yourself, you are always the most excited, Danyang Hou, the old man is unwilling to spoil your good mood." ”
"Well, that's actually not bad for Benhou. The people in the world who hate Ben Hou can't count them on one hand, and the queue in the White Lotus Society has to be queued for a long time. Downing laughed.
Then he straightened up, patted his shoulder against the wall and said, "Nothing else, just come and see you." After all, I am also a bitter master, and I have to meet with the people who caused me to endure hardships, so that this trip is not in vain. ”
After saying that, Tang Ning arched his hand towards Yan Zhigang: "There will be no time in the future." ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, Yan Zhigang shouted behind him: "Danyang Hou is slow!" ”
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Danyang Hou is so generous that the old man is ashamed. So the old man decided to give Danyang Hou a wake-up call...... Yan Zhigang said in a low voice: "The biggest buyer of the Yanhui Gang is the White Lotus Society!" ”
