Chapter 49: Relayout
After dawn, Xiaodao quickly went out, and Liu Han still stayed in the room.
Shuanghu Villa is just a small gang in Yangzhou City, and the big help is that the earth-shaking tiger Jiang Wu has a martial artist with six grades of cultivation, and the second gang leader has a winged tiger Qushu with a martial artist with four grades of cultivation. There are more than sixty subordinates in the Double Tiger Villa, and the knife is considered to be the best in it, of course, this is the result of his deliberate concealment, and with his true strength, he is still above the Heaven Shaking Tiger Jiang Wu.
Shuanghu Villa, in fact, is not a villa, but a relatively large house in Yangzhou City, this house turned out to be the home of a wealthy salt merchant, this salt merchant somehow owed a lot of silver in Jiang Wu's casino, had to sell the house to Jiang Wu, Jiang Wu changed the name.
Xiaodao first went to Ruyi Casino, Ruyi Casino is just a small casino, the daily turnover is only about two thousand taels of silver, the largest casino in Yangzhou City is Yinfang, the turnover every night is tens of thousands of silver, but this casino belongs to the Huaiyang Society.
The knife arrived at the casino, most of the guys in the casino were sleeping, the bookkeeper had already sorted out yesterday's accounts, and the surplus silver had also been sorted out, and the knife was picked up and looked at it, frowning slightly.
"Why is there so much missing?" asked Knife.
"Yesterday, you were stunned after you left, and Lao Zhao couldn't hold him down. The guy in the casino said with a wry smile, these days, the knife came very little, but this time nothing happened, the big guy didn't care, but last night bad luck, the knife came to see for a while and left, but after he left, a young man came, this young man was very lucky, and soon won a few hundred taels of silver, this win or loss in the small field of Ruyi Casino, has been very conspicuous, the best gambling skills in the casino Lao Zhao out of the horse, but Lao Zhao still did not suppress.
"That kid is quite a thief, and when he saw that we were a little anxious, he deliberately lost some, but in the end, he still won a few hundred taels and left. ”
Xiaodao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and scolded hatefully: "Damn!"
According to the rules, in the casino, you can't do it because the gambler wins, unless you catch the opponent in public, if the kid is not out of the thousand, the knife can not be shot even if you are present, of course, if the kid is out of the casino, then it's another matter.
"What's that kid's name?"
"I don't know, Lao Zhao asked, but the kid didn't say. ”
The knife scolded the mother again, put away the silver ticket, turned around and left. The street in the morning is very lively, he ate a few steamed buns at the roadside stall, the steamed buns in this stall are good, the boss is a simple middle-aged man in his forties, he eats steamed buns here every day, and the boss is familiar with him, chatting with him while eating, the boss is not afraid of him, the two of them laugh.
After chatting with the boss for a few words, Xiaodao was in a slightly better mood, he didn't know why he was irritable, but he always felt that there was something blocked in his heart, which made him uncomfortable.
When I arrived at the villa, the knife first went to the master to hand over last night's silver, the master is actually the account room, a middle-aged man in his thirties, this middle-aged man surnamed Lin, wearing a blue robe, the robe is a little old, but it is cleanly washed.
Lin bookkeeper counted the amount, then put away the silver, recorded it in the account book, pressed the handprint with a knife, and handed over the silver ticket.
"The fifth is here. ”
The knife didn't look back, he was slapped heavily on the shoulder, and he didn't look back to know that it was the second master, Qu Shu, who spoke loudly, and half of the yard could hear it.
In the villa, the five leaders, the knife came in the latest, ranked last, these five leaders except for the two masters and the knife, the other two are not in Yangzhou, one is the harrier Jiang Ying, the other is the rolling mantis Liao Jun, these two people are currently carrying Pengcheng on the salt boat.
"Second brother, last night, I missed, I was taken advantage of, and I lost a few hundred taels of silver. "The knife didn't hide it, and reported it to Qu Shu very honestly.
"Damn, who is so bold as to dare to fish for food on Lao Tzu's territory!!" Qu Shu was furious and slapped the knife on the shoulder: "Who? Lao Tzu cut off his hand!"
Xiaodao smiled bitterly: "People don't have a thousand, and a few hundred taels of silver is not much, hmph, it depends on whether this guy comes tonight, and if he comes, he will be cleaned up." ”
"That's fine. Although Qu Shu was a little angry, a few hundred taels of silver was not much, and the casino could earn it back in a few days.
Xiaodao didn't want to stay in the account room for long, so he took the receipt and came out, and Qu Shu also came out.
"Second brother, third brother and fourth brother should come back, it's been almost half a month. Xiaodao asked, the third and fourth are on the boat to Pengcheng, count the days, and they should come back.
"Just these few days," Qu Shu said: "A few days ago, they came back from Pengcheng and said that they got a batch of cloth, which is said to be from the imperial capital Hanhai Trading Company, you don't know, now the cloth of this Hanhai Trading Company is on fire in our Yangzhou, I got one, that cloth, tsk, it's really not bad." ”
Xiaodao sneered in his heart, but his expression remained the same: "Could it be better than the Lao Xiang family?" Hehe, if this is the case, then the Lu family will not panic." ”
"That's it. Qu Shu laughed, Xiaodao smiled slightly, and was talking, someone came to invite Qu Shu to the east courtyard, Qu Shu hurriedly went over, Xiaodao thought about it, and pretended to chat with a few gangs in the courtyard, his cultivation is high, usually there is no shelf, and the gangsters like to chat with him.
"Is Big Brother here, why didn't you see him?" asked Knife casually.
"Someone has come to visit the pier, and the eldest brother is talking to them. ”
"Worship the dock?" Xiao Dao was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Okay, the name of our Double Tiger Villa is getting louder and louder." ”
"That's it. ”
The knife laughed a few words and walked towards the east courtyard, and when he arrived at the moon gate, two strong men flashed out of the door and stopped him.
"Fifth master, the eldest brother commanded, the East Courtyard is under martial law, and please forgive the fifth master. ”
The knife was stunned for a moment, stretched out his head and looked inside, in addition to these two people in the courtyard, there were also four or five strong men, and these men were all the cronies of the owner.
"Who? Knife asked casually.
The two men shook their heads: "Fifth master, the owner of the village has orders." ”
Xiaodao nodded, looked at it again, turned around and left, out of the gate of the villa, he bypassed the alley next to him, and to the back, the back of the villa is also a canal, on the dock of the villa, there is a boat parked, and there are two men in Tsing Yi guarding the shore, these two men look calm, but Xiaodao feels that the two of them are actually very vigilant, when he first appeared, the two men immediately stared at him.
The knife looked at it casually, then walked along the riverbank, passed the stone bridge, went around to the teahouse opposite, and sat down at the window on the second floor.
After a cup of tea was drunk a few times, the tea became dull, only to see that the back door of the villa opened, several figures came out, led by a man calmly boarded the boat, and his entourage immediately untied the cable and drove the boat away.
Xiaodao frowned slightly, this person looked a little strange, but among the men who followed him, there was a somewhat familiar figure, as if he had seen it there, he thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head regretfully.
"Strange. Xiao Dao was very puzzled in his heart, it has been almost a year since he joined the Double Tiger Villa, and he has never seen the owner of the village receive a person so cautiously, he is very curious about the identity of this person, but he didn't chase it, and he didn't even think about it.
Back at the casino, the guys have already gotten up, he beckoned the guys to tidy up the casino, generally the casino is open in the afternoon, no one comes in the morning.
He was very careful, honestly staying in the casino, still thinking about that guy in his heart, and suddenly remembered Liu Han again, I don't know if Liu Han went to Gu's house today.
When the knife went out, Liu Han woke up, he didn't move, just lay quietly, and only got up after three strokes in the sun, his mind was still a mess, and he had no clue.
After washing, he carefully put on his makeup, dressed himself as a forty-something farmer in the city, and carried a basket by the door.
The street was very lively, and he looked around, carefully following the flow of people, and walked through a few streets before he came to the tea shop.
"A bowl of old bitter tea. Liu Han's voice was a little vicissitudes, Fan Cheng came over with a bowl of tea, put the tea bowl in front of him, turned around and left, Liu Han looked at a note under the tea bowl in a daze, he didn't expect that he had spent a long time working hard, and he still didn't hide this divine eye.
His eyes slipped around, and no one paid attention, so he picked up the note, drank the tea in a few sips, and beckoned the boss to add water, Fan Cheng came over and added water, Liu Han was not in such a hurry this time, and drank it slowly.
The business of the tea shop is not good, Liu Han occupies a table alone, and there are only two guests at the other table, Fan Cheng is not busy, he sits on the side and chats with the two guests, not long after, the two guests get up and leave, Fan Cheng seems to be unsatisfied, and sits on Liu Han's table again.
"Our tea is this year's new tea, how does the guest officer feel about the taste?" Fan Cheng's voice was not very loud, but the people around him happened to be able to hear it, and then lowered his voice and said: "That's an order from the palace, after Gu Shuo's death, all the internal guards in Yangzhou must be examined, and everyone must pass the test." ”
Liu Han smiled: "The boss is good tea." ”
"If necessary, you can mobilize the city guards and the Qinchaxing camp tiger guards, and the order to transfer troops is based on the warrant. ”
Liu Han nodded with a smile, and then said: "The concubine who escaped from the Gu Mansion has been wiped out, I suspect that it was the Baigongfang who started it, and in addition, since Gu Shuo is dead, then there should still be someone lurking in the Baigongfang in the internal guard, and this person should be in the Gu Mansion." ”
This judgment was thought of by him lying on the ground this morning, and the other party had no reason to kill Gu Shuo, unless someone on the other side chose to replace Gu Shuo, and further said that the other party was to use Gu Shuo to cover up the deeds of that or those people.
"Also, it's strange that Mo Kun is gone. Liu Han said.
"Do you want to find him?" Fan Shou asked, Liu Han hesitated and shook his head: "It is possible that he has something that he has not explained, or it may be that the other party deliberately threw out the bait to distract us, so leave him alone for the time being." ”
Fan Cheng hummed softly, he suddenly felt that he had been stable for too long, and his sense of sensitivity was not as strong as before.
"In the future, you will be responsible for my contact with the palace, and don't do anything else for the time being. Liu Han instructed, this Fan Cheng is probably the real descendant in the palace.
"Yes. Fan Cheng knew that he had entered the dormant period again, but this time the dormancy should be temporary.
After Liu Han finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank the water in one gulp, then put down the two copper plates, got up and left.
Walk around the street at will, pay attention to the movement behind you at any time, and after going around a dozen streets, make sure that no one is following behind you, and then walk towards your destination.
Ye Xiu pounced again, she heard that Xia Mu had appeared in the painting boat in the west of the city, so she rushed over, that Xia Mu had already left, which made her very frustrated, but now the people in the yamen no longer ignore her as before, on the contrary, they have some respect for her, Xu Hu even discussed with her about Gu Shuo's case.
Pushing open the door, Ye Xiu immediately felt a familiar smell, and was overjoyed, so he immediately closed the door with his backhand, turned around and entered the house, and sure enough, Liu Han was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
