Chapter 563: The Head of the Snake
The man's mouth was full of blood, and his eyes, which were originally full of anger, finally showed a look of horror at this time.
Han Mo said lightly: "Being able to govern the mess of the three sects and nine streams, I thought that the snake king still had some ability, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Send a thief to dismount me...... It's too inauthentic to do this. He motioned to Red Sleeves to put away his dagger and said to the man, "Since you are coming out, take us to see him."
The man did not refuse, raised his hand, wiped the blood from his mouth with the sleeve full of greasy stains, turned around, and went back, but the red sleeve had already said coldly: "If you act rashly, you will definitely die"
The man paused, but the cold tone of the red sleeves made him dare not believe it, and he didn't say much, just leading the way in front...
Han Mo glanced at the onlookers on both sides, he knew very well that there were many snake people mixed in this, although he knew that there were snake people mixed in them, but looking at them one by one, it was really difficult to distinguish who was the real snake person.
Walking down the street, the street became narrower and narrower, and when you reached the street, finally a courtyard appeared.
There was a bamboo door in the courtyard that was full of oil, and when the thin man pushed the bamboo door open, the whole person rushed in like the fastest rabbit, and he was never seen again.
The courtyard was not quiet, and Han Mo could even clearly hear the shouts of gambling money coming from inside.
Han Mo stood in front of the door and groaned for a while, and finally walked slowly into the courtyard.
Although the courtyard is very dark, there is a lantern on the door, so you can see the general situation of the courtyard clearly. It's a big yard, messy, with lots of broken boxes in the yard, and in the corners, there's even a bunch of dried salted meat...
More than a dozen shirtless men were gathering around a table to gamble, shouting one by one, and under the lights, you could clearly see the sweat coming out of their bodies.
After Han Mo came in, the group of big men suddenly stopped, and their eyes all looked at Han Mo.
Pei Yinghou and Xue Hongsleeve stood behind Han Mo on the left and right, the three of them were in the tiger's den, but they all looked extremely calm, Pei Yinghou had already bowed his hand to the group of people: "West Flower Hall...... Coming to pick people up"
The men looked at each other, and then they all fixed their eyes on Han Mo's body again, and there were many people with contempt in their eyes.
A big man walked over naked, with a very long scar on his chest, stopped in front of Han Mo, looked up and down, and then said, "You are all from the West Flower Hall?" ”
Han Mo smiled and nodded...
Han Mo Qingjun had a smile on his face, which made the scar man's momentum even stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Come on, search their bodies"
"Bold" Pei Yinghou said in a deep voice: "You are really bold......"
"Don't shout here." The scar man sneered: "Since you have arrived here, you should know what kind of place this is, what is the name of the East Flower Hall and the West Flower Hall, and you can't scare us" waved his hand and said: "Come on, search their bodies"
Han Mo was still smiling, but in the midst of his smile, his body rushed over like a cheetah, and his right hand wearing a different metal glove reached out, and in a flash of light, he had already grabbed the neck of the scar man.
Although the scar man saw Han Mo rushing over and wanted to dodge, Han Mo's speed was too fast, just in a flash, his throat was choked by Han Mo, he wanted to fight back, but he felt that his chest was hit hard, his heart seemed to be shattered at this moment, his whole body was weak and weak, and the hand that was just about to be raised was actually softly drooping...
This was just a matter of an eye, and by the time the other men came back to their senses, the scar man was already being pinched by Han Mo's neck, lifted up in the air, and his limbs were hanging softly.
"Damn, dare to do it" someone immediately shouted.
"guy"
"Arrest them" More than a dozen big men did not hesitate at the moment, some picked up the bench, some took out weapons from the side, and for a while the shouting and scolding continued, and more than a dozen big men surrounded Han Mo and the three of them in the middle.
Han Mo even heard footsteps outside the courtyard, and there was no doubt that outside this courtyard, there were also snake people in ambush.
Han Mo didn't put the scar man down, there were nearly two hundred catties of big men, Han Mo was like holding a ball of cotton, without the slightest sense of difficulty, just said lightly: "In front of this official, don't put out your set of rules one by one...... Tell the head of the snake that the director of the West Flower Hall is here."
At this moment, the door opened slightly, and a voice came from inside: "Let him in" and added: "Let him in alone"
The snake people were all staring at Han Mo with great anger, and when they heard the sound coming from the house, everyone didn't dare to attack them, but Han Mo said lightly: "You two are waiting here, I'll pick up people."
His words were naturally said to Pei Yinghou and the others...
Pei Yinghou and Xue Hongsleeve glanced at each other, but saw that Han Mo had gathered the body of the scar man and walked slowly towards the house, Han Mo simply ignored the snake people with weapons in the courtyard...
Han Mo knew in his heart that the snake people were extremely careful, and they made secret signals along the way to bring themselves here, which was already sure that the West Flower Hall did not arrange for others to follow, otherwise the signs on the road would not have been able to continue until now.
It has reached this point, the head of the snake should be in this house, if it hides its head and tail again, it will be meaningless.
Han Mo knew that although he was going deep into the tiger's den, from a certain point of view, he was actually very safe, if the snake people hadn't gone crazy, of course they wouldn't dare to attack the director of the Xihua Hall easily, not to mention that the director of the Xihua Hall was still a direct descendant of the family.
If Han Mo had an accident in the underground black market, even if these snake people were deeply rooted, they would definitely face a huge crisis, and they would definitely die and shed a lot of blood.
……
It was a very empty room, and it was very dark, and the rancid smell floating in the air was much lighter, and there was only a long wooden table in the room, and a chair was placed at each end of the wooden table...
When Han Mo entered the room, he saw a figure sitting on the opposite side of the long table, in the dim room, the figure was like a ghost, with unkempt hair and a greasy black cloak, and his entire body was covered under the cloak.
Han Mo entered the room, only then did he throw the scar man in his hand aside, stepped forward, pulled out the chair, and sat down with a big grin, far away from the person on the other side of the long table.
In the dim and empty room, at this time, except for the scar man who had fainted, there were only Han Mo and the long-haired man.
The long-haired man's unkempt long hair covered his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly at all, while Han Mo was sitting very gently, elegant and generous, with a faint smile on his handsome face, looking at the other party with interest...
"This official is Han Mo, you ...... Is it a snakehead? Han Mo asked with a smile, his voice was quite gentle.
The long-haired man said in a low voice, "You are the director of the West Flower Hall?" ”
"Answer the officer's question." Han Mo still smiled: "If you are a snakehead, this official can give you some time, if not...... The official will be very angry."
"The rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes" The other party said lightly: "If you really want to pick up your people, don't put an official in front of me...... I don't eat this."
Han Mo smiled and said, "It's a good thing to do the rivers and lakes...... the look on his face turned cold: "But this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Dayan Wangcheng, this official doesn't talk to you about any affairs in the rivers and lakes." ”
"What do you mean...... Are you ready to abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes? The long-haired man's voice was still indifferent...
Han Mo shook his head slowly, sighed and said, "I am an official, you are a citizen, between you and me, you can only abide by my rules, when will it be my turn to abide by your rules?" After a pause, the right hand with a different metal glove was gently raised, placed on the table, and the index finger flicked the tabletop lightly, and said slowly: "If you don't abide by the rules of the official, in the eyes of the official, it is a rebellion...... Do you think the officials will show mercy to the rebels? ”
The other party was silent for a while before he said lightly: "I am the head of the snake, but it does not mean that all snake people will listen to my orders." As a snake head, he is just the guardian of the rules, the snake people come from three religions and nine streams, the members are complex, and if the rules are violated, our group of people will come forward to punish them, but if everyone follows the rules, even if I am the head of the snake, they can still ignore my orders, this is ...... You have to be clear."
Han Mo nodded...
He knew that this was a class, not an organization, and the identity of the snake head did not mean that he was the master of this group of snake people.
"The head of the snake is the guardian of the rules...... Only guard the rules of the snake people. The snake head said calmly: "If I go and obey your rules and break the rules of the snake people, then I will be useless to the underground black market, and a new snake head will replace me soon...... Therefore, no matter what kind of official you are, when you come to this place, you can only be an opponent to negotiate with me, and the official authority is here, and it can't play the slightest role, you ...... Do you understand? ”
Han Mo looked at the snake's head with a smile and said lightly: "You are lying, what did you say to me...... Very dishonest? ”
The head of the snake was silent and did not speak for a long time.
"But I'm not here to care about your lies today." Han Mo said lightly: "I'm going to take my person, where is he?" ”
"He broke the rules"
"What rules?"
"The underground black market does not allow any other forces to enter and inquire about the news...... Because that would put us in danger. The head of the snake said slowly: "And your people, breaking such rules?" ”
"When?"
The snake head said lightly: "Half a month ago"
"Witnesses?"
"Yes"
"But as far as I know......" Han Mo stared at the snakehead: "The people under my command were captured by you four days ago"
"Not bad"
"I want to ask you, when did you find out that he broke your rules and found out about the underground black market?" Han Mo's expression became cold: "If you noticed it at the time of the incident, why did you start arresting people after half a month?" Why weren't they arrested right now? My subordinates have always been very steady, and since you didn't find out at the time, it is impossible for you to leave clues for you to find out afterwards...... Smuggler, I'd love to ask you, where did you get the news from? How did you find out afterwards that my people were spooping on your underground black market? ”
A series of questions made the snake head on the other side silent, and he didn't answer for a while.
Han Mo leaned back in his chair, his expression was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the snake's head from a distance.
"If you are indeed very well-behaved, this official will not bother with you." Han Mo said lightly: "But if you take the lead in breaking your own rules, then don't blame me for being rude to the West Flower Hall." His eyes sparkled coldly, and he looked directly at the snake's head: "The underground black market does not interfere in the affairs of other forces, and it does not participate in the partisan disputes of the imperial court, which I have always admired, but today I want to ask you...... Are you keeping this rule? ”
Han Mo's inexplicable words penetrated into the ears of the snake head word for word, and no one knew that the hand hidden under the cloak was already trembling slightly at this time.
