Chapter 535: Human Skin Drum 4
Xiao Yu'er intuitively told him that the trip to Guangzhou would inevitably be rewarding. Only in a big city like Guangzhou can there be a decent leather maker. to complete the art of such an orgasm. As for the affairs of Duanzhou, I will leave it to Master Bao to deal with.
Without further ado, he went to Guangzhou with Mr. Bao's paperwork, hoping that Mr. Hu would not be stingy? He won't come nonsense? Damn, I don't believe it when I am killed, I offended too much in the previous incident.
After arriving in Guangzhou, Xiao Yuer was ready to visit Master Hu. After all, you will encounter it on other people's turf. When the time comes, there will be no misunderstanding. If you go to visit again after a misunderstanding, it will definitely be even more inexplicable.
Xiao Yuer came to the yamen, looked at the solemn yamen, and secretly thought, hoping that the yamen in the world is one family. If you were really one, there would be no political party.
This time, Xiao Yu'er put on a fast catcher clothes, came to the yamen, and reported forward: "Brother, you are from Xiaduanzhou..."
Before he finished speaking, the official at the door snorted coldly: "Wait outside." Line up to go. ”
Damn, sister, dogs look down on people. Xiao Yu'er secretly thought, aren't you just a watchdog? The master didn't hum so much in Duanzhou.
Xiao Yu'er reported again: "Brother, there is really an urgent matter down here. ”
"Didn't you watch me busy?"
Xiao Yu'er knows what this little devil at the yamen does. So while people were not paying attention, he took out five taels of silver and carefully remained on the ground. Exclaimed, "Hey, who dropped the silver?" ”
"Mine, mine." The janitor snatched the silver from Xiao Yu'er's hand with lightning speed.
The janitor was smiling and worried. This guy really has a set, and he actually came up with this method. He said happily to the little fish: "Thank you so much for helping me pick it up." ”
"You're welcome." Xiao Yu'er said, and then thought to herself. Bastard.
"By the way, what are you looking for us?"
Xiao Yu'er said: "Trouble brother, go in and report it, and say that the Duanzhou Yamen Catcher brought a letter from my family Master Bao." ”
"Lord Bao?" The janitor said, "Oh, you wait here, I'll go in and make an announcement." ”
Looking at the back of the gatekeeper ghost, Xiao Yu'er sneered. Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind.
Master Hu in the inner hall is writing calligraphy, after the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all done.
"Master"
"What's the matter?"
"Master, there is a person outside who claims to be the Duanzhou Yamen. Brought an epistle. This is the ability to speak, he knows that Lord Bao and Lord Hu do not deal with each other, so he did not mention Bao Zi. However, Duanzhou Yamen is Lord Bao. It's one person anyway. He specifically spoke of a letter.
Master Hu listened to the letter. Without thinking, he said, "Okay." Let him in. ”
After a while, the tolerance who swallowed five taels of silver and couldn't swallow the small fish ran forward: "Brother? My family, please. ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled: "Thanks to the big brother's recommendation!" After speaking, he glanced at the catcher meaningfully.
The tolerance suddenly felt a cool gust of wind blowing on his back, and he flattered and touched out a piece of silver ingots and said: "Little brother, please forgive me, it is a small one who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he should not accept the child's silver, I hope that the son will raise his noble hand, otherwise the small rice bowl will not be saved." The youngest has an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child waiting to be fed...... (50,000 words omitted here)"
Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "The world's fast fishing is a family." If my brother is so helpful, why should I go back? ”
After Xiao Yu'er came in, he went to the inner hall to meet Master Hu, and stepped forward and said, "Zhang Yu, the head catcher of the Duanzhou Yamen, has seen Lord Hu. ”
"Huh? You're Bao Kuroko's subordinate? Master Hu looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Why is it a little kid?" ”
Xiao Yu'er was not angry, and said: "Of course adults are adults, and small ones are naturally children?" What do you say? My lord? ”
"Haha~~~" Master Hu laughed when he heard this, and said, "Interesting, interesting." ”
"What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yu'er said respectfully: "My lord, my family asked me to hand you a letter?" So he took out a letter from the space package and handed it respectfully.
Master Hu took it, looked at the envelope sealed in red paint, roasted it with a fire, and opened it to take a look. Glance at it. Then he looked at Xiao Yu'er and said, "Since this is the case, the official will send you two people to assist you." ”
Xiao Yu'er doesn't know the content inside, who knows what Master Bao wrote. Maybe this is the hidden deal in officialdom.
Xiao Yu'er said respectfully: "Thank you, sir." ”
With the approval of the Guangzhou prefect Hu Daren, they specially recruited two old officials who participated in the investigation of the arson case in the Qinglou to assist Xiao Yuer in carrying out his work, one is called Lao Chen and the other is Lao Liu, and at the same time, they also called up the old files of that year for his reference.
Lao Chen and Lao Liu told Xiao Yuer that after the arson case in the Qinglou, the yamen asked other members of the accomplice about Huang Lei from other places, and everyone said that Huang Lei was indeed watching the scene in the Qinglou that day. At that time, Huang Lei was counting the scene, there were four people, three people died in the fire, and there was a leader who had left for a while because of something at home that night, and came back before the fire, and saw another group of members who set fire, and there was a fight between the two sides, and then the leader escaped by luck, but was seriously injured.
The leader is called Xiong Tianyang, 51 years old, and he was the backbone of Huang Lei's gang back then.
After the arson case in the Qinglou that year, the prefect at that time ordered that it must be strictly investigated and not recurred. The Yamen first cracked the arson case. Then, after more than half a year, he obtained a lot of evidence from other aspects, completely eliminated the two gangs, most of the members were arrested, and some of the first offenders and repeat offenders were sentenced to death.
Xiong Tianyang was not sentenced to death because he had a good attitude in admitting his guilt and took the initiative to report and expose a lot of strong evidence of gang members, and he was still seriously injured at the time. And in the cell, Xiong Tianyang was excellent, and he was released early five years ago because of his advanced age.
After he was released from prison, he worked as a basket maker, and it was said that his business was quite good.
Because he was the first eyewitness in the Qinglou arson case back then, and he was still the backbone of the gang, he must have known a lot of first-hand information, and Xiao Yuer decided to put the breakthrough on him.
Xiong Tianyang's home is located near Chalu Street in Guangzhou, just a 20-minute horseback ride from Yamen.
Lao Chen said: "This is Xiong Tianyang's home." ”
Xiao Yu'er looked at the bamboo baskets woven everywhere on the wall and the ground, and said, "Shout, the craftsmanship is good." ”
"Oh, I finally met someone who knows the goods, little brother. How many do you want? Xiong Tianyang heard that there was business coming to the door and came out of it. But looking at the poor clothes, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "A few masters, the little one didn't commit any trouble?" ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled: "Haha, boss, these are good, I want them." ”
It turned out that he really bought something, and Xiong Tianyang's heart suddenly relaxed. He looked at Xiao Yu'er holding a bamboo basket in his hand and said with a smile: "This poor master, this one is very cheap, ten copper plates." ”
"Huh?" Lao Chen and Lao Liu were surprised.
Xiong Tianyang thought it was expensive, and hurriedly said: "Since the poor master wants it, I will give it to you for free." ”
"Not really." Xiao Yu'er took out ten copper plates from his arms and said, "Ah." Here you go. Xiong Tianyang put away the copper plate.
Xiao Yu'er said: "Boss, I want to inquire about something?" ”
Xiong Tianyang thought to himself: "Coming? So he smiled and said, "Ask, I know everything." ”
Xiao Yu'er asked, "Do you know Huang Lei?" ”
"Huang Lei? Yes, why do you ask this? Xiong Tianyang asked strangely.
Xiao Yu'er asked again: "I don't know what Boss Xiong's impression of the arson case back then?" ”
Xiong Tianyang said: "Of course I have an impression of this matter. And impressive. Qinglou was the one I led at the time, and my two better brothers and Huang Lei both died in that fire. Hey~~~"
According to Xiong Tianyang's recollection, Huang Lei joined the gang at the beginning of that year, and was brought in directly by the boss, and it seems that the two have a good relationship.
Xiao Yu'er asked, "Have you ever noticed that there is an eagle-shaped tattoo on the back of Huang Lei?" ”
Xiong Tianyang shook his head and said, "No, when he came, everyone had more clothes on them in winter, and Huang Lei didn't live with me, so I didn't have a chance to see his back." ”
Xiong Tianyang also told Xiao Yuer that Huang Lei usually speaks little and doesn't like to interact with others very much, so he is relatively close to himself. He once asked him what he did in his hometown, how did he think of coming to Guangzhou City, Huang Lei did not say deeply, only said that the matter was not small, and it happened that he had a friend here, and he knew the boss, and he knew Guangzhou City. Hearing Huang Lei say this, Xiong Tianyang didn't ask much, after all, everyone in the gang is not clean, and everyone is very sensitive to these things.
Xiao Yu'er's expression when she saw Xiong Tianyang didn't look like a fake. During that year, some of the serious criminal elements who slipped through the net were in exile in the Great Song Dynasty, and the two Wang brothers escaped after the crime, and successively wandered to Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan and other provinces, and finally was found in M County of a certain province, and was finally killed with the cooperation of the local six doors. Although Huang Lei is not as guilty as the two Wang brothers, he is also involved in a serious case, and it is understandable that he does not disclose the truth.
However, judging from Xiong Tianyang's description, it seems that this boss is really good to Huang Lei, and he was contacted by a certain middleman. So, does Huang Lei's escape to Guangzhou City after the Duanzhou City incident mean that this purposeful act is to defect to the so-called middleman, and then come to this boss's gang through the relationship of the guò middleman?
Besides, is that middleman the one who rescued Huang Lei that night? This man assisted Huang Lei in escaping to Guangzhou City, and used his connections to settle Huang Lei in the gangs in Guangzhou City. Who will be this middleman? What is the relationship between him and the boss, and what is the relationship with Huang Lei? Unfortunately, the gang boss was executed, and these can no longer be verified. (To be continued......)
