Chapter 63 (Jade Theft Case 1)
Within Yamato Trading Company. Kuroto walked back and forth restlessly, waiting for Inoue Ichiro. Time passes from time to time. The arrival of Inoue Ichiro was delayed.
Black vine was a little furious, but he was still restrained, and sat down to pour himself a drink.
At this time, Sakurako came in.
Kuroto drank five or six cups of Japanese sake in one go. Slightly drunk.
Sakurako apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kuroto, Inoue-kun will be back soon, don't worry,
She sat down opposite the black vine, poured wine for the black vine, filled it herself, raised her glass, and drank it all.
Kuroto glanced at her and raised his glass to drink.
He asked: What has Inouue-kun been busy with these days?
Sakurako replied: "A batch of valuable jade, it seems that there is a big problem with the way of origin, many bigwigs of the underworld are ready to move, and they want to get it quickly, but unfortunately, the value of this batch of jade is too huge, and no one can swallow it alone, so Mr. Inoue has to go out in person." ”
Kurotane let out an interesting sigh.
He asked: "Who has such a great ability to get the jade in the Jasper Villa warehouse on the black market, why don't I know?" ”
Sakura said: "This matter is indeed extremely secretive, the origin of this batch of jade, there is no doubt that it comes from Jasper Villa, if the Valley of the Wind is in the position of the owner, I am afraid that none of these jade artifacts will be linked to the underworld." I won't have anything to do with my Yamato trading company. “
Kuroto wondered why, but quickly guessed why. Almost all of the jade produced by Jasper Villa are of high quality, and the value of the collection is extremely high. After the Oolong Shrine Incident, Jasper Villa cut off all trade with the Yamato Trading Company, including the horses purchased in large quantities every year. Because, in those days, horses, as the main means of transportation, were often declared by the government as "wartime emergency reserves" and could not be sold at will.
After listening to Sakurako's words, Kurotto snorted coldly and said, "Your president seems to be a mercenary guy, who doesn't care about the interests of the empire at all, let alone the pride and self-esteem of the nation. ”
When Kuroto was arrogant and frequently blamed and slandered Inoue, Inoue came back.
He sat down and told Sakurako to pour the wine. Sakurako filled him up,
Inoue Ichiro didn't rush to take the cup, he looked at the black vine,
Kurotane's face was unhappy, and he said directly: Presumably Mr. Inoue has gained a lot today, right?
Inoue Ichiro said, "Of course, I was looking for you and had something I wanted to discuss with you," he said, taking a sip from his glass.
Kuroto: "If I'm right, it must be about that valuable jade, right?" ”
Don't seem interested? Inoue asked in surprise with an empty cup.
Kurotto rolled his eyes and said with a sarcastic accent: "Of course, Inoue-kun is first and foremost a businessman, how can he take into account the interests of the empire at this time?"
Inoue replied unceremoniously: "Hei Teng-kun, these days, the devil's shadow has been frequently harassed by the soul of the blood wolf, and he has been led by the nose all over the mountain, and he has not done anything worthy of congratulations to the empire, his expression is depressed, it is inevitable, but he can't vent his anger in his heart to the Yamato Trading Company, no matter what, I, Yamato Trading Company, are not doing what I can to contribute to my empire," he asked Sakurako to pour him another glass of wine. This time, drink it all in one go,
He said: "Especially if the soul of the blood wolf is led around by the nose and tired of running for his life, it is better to take the initiative to attack his weakness, lead him to the bait, and catch it all." ”
Kuroto's face softened, and he still asked in a disdainful tone, "If my guess is correct, Mr. Inoue probably wants to use the power of my devil's shadow to fight for your life, right?"
Inoue said, "If the boss of Kuroto is unwilling, Inoue will never dare to force my boss, now, although the tiger has been greatly injured by the soul of the blood wolf, but this is nothing, even if the legion of an empire is wiped out now, with the current power of Yamato, let him come back to life, only in a thought." A bully gang is nothing, although the bully is a fool, but his wife Tu Erniang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. We're working well with each other right now. If you just want to hijack a batch of jade, you don't need to use your devil's shadow, Tu Erniang's gang now has three or four hundred people, and we have equipped him with sophisticated weapons, sufficient ammunition, and strict training of our imperial army. A fight with the regular army. But I have to tell you, don't you think it's strange that such a huge amount of jade has been lost from the jade vault of Jasper Villa on the underworld? As far as I know, the jade vault of Jasper Villa is heavily guarded. To be able to get such a huge amount of jade out of the jade vault, who would have such great power and courage? Who else but the Valley of the Wind will be? I'm not greedy for money for this? If I'm right, it's a good show to lure the snake out of its hole. Hei Tengjun guessed who Gao Hongtu would lead out of the hole? “
He reminded Kurotane that this was a rare gambling feast. Unless Hei Tengjun's courage has been frightened by that blood wolf soul.
Kurotto picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and bowed deeply to Inoue: "I'm sorry, it's me Kurotani who missaw Inoue-kun, I'm sorry, it's my fault and incompetence."
He asked: What should the devil's shadow do next? “
*****************************************************************
Zheng Fengzhigu, the courtyard behind the Nameless Temple, was drinking pumpkin porridge, and the weaver girl looked at him intently.
The Valley of the Wind had lost a lot of weight for a while, and his sunken eye sockets were full of worry and sorrow.
Zhiniang knew that Feng Fu spared the pain in his heart, and she could even understand it.
She said softly: "I went to the Yeti Clan, don't worry, the wind chill has recovered, I believe I will come back soon,
The Valley of the Wind looked at her in surprise, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with concern: "The road is so far away, and there are many dangers along the way, if something happens to you again, how can the Valley of the Wind bear it?" ”
Weaver Niang's heart was warm, and she replied, "Eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold."
The Valley of the Wind picked up the bowl and slowly pulled the pumpkin porridge into his mouth, but his heart flew to the distant snowy plateau, for so many days, he didn't see his son, but I don't know how much suffering he suffered there? What would this child have done if he had known that his mother had been killed? “
Weaver seemed to have guessed the Wind Valley's thoughts, and knew what she was thinking, and she told the Wind Valley that she had told him about the murder of his mother. She said apologetically to the Valley of the Wind, "Perhaps, he is sick, and I shouldn't give him this matter to affect his injuries." ”
The Valley of the Wind shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this kid isn't that fragile. Tell him that he should have done the right thing. Then he drank the porridge in the bowl.
At this time, the pumpkin monk came in, looked at the empty bowl on the table, and saw that the bowl was clean, so he praised the Valley of the Wind with satisfaction: "Hmm." The son can be taught, knowing that every grain is hard, and he is telling the Valley of the Wind: "Drink my pumpkin porridge, but there is a price, how do you want to compensate my old monk?" “
The Valley of the Wind smiled: "For the time being, how about catching up with the spring next year, when the pumpkins are planted, the labor of carrying water, fertilizing and digging pits is wrapped around me?" “
The pumpkin monk glared and said, "Wow, it's white again," he pointed to the Valley of the Wind, what was he thinking, and when he saw Weaver Niang on the side, he muttered in a low voice: "It's not convenient here, let's settle this account outside." ”
Seeing this, Weaver Niang knew that the two of them were playing childlike temperament again, and if they didn't play some tricks within a day, the pumpkin monk would be very unwilling, thinking, but he didn't know the current situation in the Valley of the Wind, if he knew, but he didn't know if the old monk still had such thoughts. Then he smiled and said: "Senior, we just met, and we were pulled away by you before I could say a word of self-consideration, so it is better to shave him too, and I will leave without worry, you two men have lived."
The pumpkin monk was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at the weaver girl and the Valley of the Wind and said: "See, I am jealous, the porridge will not be boiled and jealous--- so the topic changed, and he said in a low voice: "Gao Hongtu's claws and fangs are exposed, and he will make a jasper villa a lot of trouble, and now he is sitting in your seat, eager to try, his half-hung second wife, doing things that hurt reason, I have secretly beaten him with a big dung spoon." Don't pretend to be a good person for me, now, but after suffering your brothers, it can be seen that he wants to be the owner of the village and wants to go crazy. At this point, he reminded the Valley of the Wind in a low voice: You mother-in-law, it's terrible, obviously I saw her in the private house behind the Gao Family Cloth Village, no, I haven't arrived yet, but he went back first, he blinked, looked at the Valley of the Wind and asked, "What do you mean?" “
The Valley of the Wind laughed and said, "My old monk, recite your scriptures well, so much nonsense." Hurry up ---"
The Valley of the Wind pushed the pumpkin monk's back and urged him to go quickly, but the pumpkin monk walked away unhappily, and turned back as he walked: "Heavy color and light friend,"
The Valley of the Wind sent away the pumpkin monk, and when he returned, he saw that the weaver had stopped everything.
Weaver Niang approached him, tied the button for him, and advised: "Now, the safety of Jasper Villa is on your shoulders, remember, the Gao family is no longer the Gao family of the past, you treat them as relatives, they may not, otherwise, they will not watch their sister-in-law being captured by bandits, and watching your brother being framed and ignored." All this may be the mastermind behind them.
She added: "This wheat has been haunted recently, and I'm sure that several murders in the village must be related to him now,"
She paused, looked at the face of the Valley of the Wind, and said earnestly: "Okay, no, let's go our separate ways, this big case of jade theft must hide the unforgivable conspiracy of the Gao family, you must be cautious, I think, their purpose in creating such a huge movement is to lure you out, be cautious." You must take care of yourself. Is it done? “
The Valley of the Wind then took Weaver Niang into his arms and told her, "With you, the Valley of the Wind will be fine, don't worry,"
**********************************************************************
Early in the morning, Huozi kept two jars of Du Kang from Ruyang, and threw off his steps and walked towards the red mansion at the top of Jasper Villa. Do you go to see the old man like this? ”
Huozi opened his mouth, but he wanted to laugh but didn't, and hummed dryly: "Look at it and take a look less, while he can still toss around, otherwise he won't be able to hook the wine bugs."
Da Nier heard that the words were not right, and chased after her to ask for an understanding.
What are you? Try it again?
Huozi turned around, turned upside down and went up the steps, it was as sharp as facing forward, his mouth was also sharp, and he counted the crimes of the old man, as if he was slipping away: ""Just, knowing that the ten doors are the pillars of the Five Gangs Alliance, but they rubbed Jinbao with the ten gates, and almost killed people, did they dismantle our platform, pick up our two people, and want to collapse the Five Gangs Alliance?" Isn't that right, you? Also, knowing that the Feng family is in trouble now, watching the people from the police station arrest Uncle Zhiqing, and now his whereabouts are unknown, but he doesn't care, is it a human thing? Now, Yufang has even lost his life, Manager Fei has been assassinated, and the jade vault has been stolen--- what do you want to do? He pointed at Big Niel, shook his head, and turned back to quicken his pace.
Lady asked, "What do you want?"
If he wasn't your father, what would you do? Anyway, don't ask? But I can't do it!"
Da Nier also asked angrily: 'Just ask you what to do.'
Huozi exhaled angrily: "Change him for a deflated son", consciously misspoken, and hurriedly added: "This is not the original intention, don't mind, changing the soup does not mean changing the medicine, it is stupid to change it."
Da Nier couldn't catch up with Huozi's physical strength, Jasper Villa was from the bottom up, 3,866 stone steps, she watched Huozi run to the top in one breath, without panting, and still holding a stone in her arms.
Huozi climbed the last stone step in one go, and when he looked up, he saw Gao Hongtu standing on the edge of the ditch with his hands behind his back, and watched the two of them mumble up, I don't know if I heard the content of the two muttering. Anyway, his face is cloudy, and according to him, Gao Hongtu's hearing and vision are beyond ordinary people.
Huozi and Gao Hongtu looked at each other, Huozi grinned, but there was no smile at all. Hey----
Gao Hongtu pointed at him and said dissatisfiedly: "It's better not to laugh, it's uglier than a dead person,"
Huozi grinned and walked towards the big mill in the courtyard.
Gao Hongtu asked: "Why, don't you sit upstairs?" ”
Huozi said: "The owner of the wind village is not here, why are you embarrassed?" ”
Gao Hongtu was stunned for a moment, a nameless fire arose, and when he saw Da Nier on the side, he couldn't help but angrily pointed at Da Nier and asked, "Whose livestock is on the rope?" So angry? ”
Da Nier retorted and said, "Dad, look at what you say, he is a beast, what has become of his daughter?" ”
Gao Hongtu didn't laugh angrily, tears of laughter came out, and he held Da Nier's head with one hand, and walked towards the grinding plate.
Huozi stepped on the plate with one foot, supported his chin with one hand, and turned his back to the two.
When Gao Hongtu approached, the first sentence came straight out: "Straight, you are an elder, you don't have to go around the bend,"
Gao Hongtu listened, and then said to his daughter: "Did you hear it, it's better for me to "let it go if I have a fart" directly."
finished, shouted Huozi: "Turn the turtle face to me, am I talking to my ass?" '
Huozi turned around, unscrewed the two jars of wine, and said coldly: "One jar for one person, drinking, it's not enough, I'll buy it." , grabbed the jar, shut his mouth, cooed, poured down most of the jar in one go, and looked at Gao Hongtu. Look at Da Nier again, Da Nier pointed at him and scolded: "There is a kind of drinking in one go,"
Huozi grinned and said, "Drink the dead ball? ”
Gao Hongtu said to Da Nier: "Isn't it an animal? How much gunpowder do you take when you come? So angry? “
Without waiting for Da Nier's reply, Huozi said, "To get to the point, what are you calling us to do first?" ”
Gao Hongtu rolled up his sleeves, didn't say a word, flew up and kicked Huozi straight away, Huozi carried the wine jar, and before he could react, he was kicked on all fours, so a carp stood up, and pointed at Gao Hongtu angrily: "If you can't drink, start fighting?" “
Gao Hongtu said angrily: "Kill you turtle grandson me," and put on a black tiger heart-digging posture, and then said: "Take advantage of the strength of the wine, you may be able to win a move and a half, otherwise, Lao Tzu will beat you half to death Believe it or not?" ”
Seeing that the two of them were on the bar, Da Nier hurriedly stopped it, and Huozi snorted angrily: "Half dead, half dead, today the widow walks at night, I am out of the way,"
Daniel smiled, but she didn't smile, her eyes were threatening, Huozi hurriedly sighed slowly, and said: "You stay, my two dogskin socks are not anyway, there are no outsiders here, what are you afraid of?" I didn't call him a brother and a brother---- "Da Nier flew up and kicked Huozi, Huozi didn't think so, he didn't hide, but he was kicked by Da Nier, but he was kicked to the sore spot. Huozi screamed in pain, covered his hands and bent down. Da Nier went up and grabbed her ears, as if she had kicked herself, and complained: "Fool, why don't you hide,"
Gao Hongtu was overjoyed, and added a sentence very relieved: "You don't lose a kick to death, this is called the end of disrespecting the old."
When Huozi heard this, he quickly corrected: "That's called disrespect for the elderly, you know?" After finishing it, he quickly covered it, but his mouth was not idle,
He pointed at Gao Hongtu and said to Da Nier: "Spread the word, how to deal with the matter of the ten gates?" Does he care or doesn't care?
Gao Hongtu's ears were sensitive, and when he heard Huozi's words, he replied to him directly: "Answer me first, what is the future direction of the militia group?" ”
Huozi stood up straight and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it just to listen to your command in the future, and kill whoever you want, right?" I suggest. The Dongdagou death squad was established, with Jinbao as the head of the regiment, and Gao Jiajun, which was more prestigious, cheap and easy to use. Today's Five Gangs Alliance is about to be broken up by some people, is it still interesting to hand it over to you? ”
Gao Hongtu pointed at him and scolded: "Let your mother's stinky fart, and say this again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death"
Huozi came up horizontally, simply poured the remaining half of the jar of wine into his stomach, raised his hand and smashed the jar to pieces, rubbed his sleeves, pointed to his cheek, handed it to Gao Hongtu, and snorted coldly: "You smoke, smoke here, smoke Huozi, you are not my father-in-law,
Gao Hongtu was furious and slapped him, but slapped his daughter in the face. Then Yang slapped and froze.
Huozi was also stunned, shaking his head, thinking if he had drunk too much? Hurry over, wanting to comfort Da Nier, Leng Buding's face is itchy and crisp, and Da Nier makes up for his father's slap.
Gao Hongtu gloated: "Beat, beat him to death"
Daniel turned her head and looked at Gao Hongtu coldly, and asked coldly: Now, murders have been exposed one after another in the villa, and the jade vault has been stolen, Dad, why is this? My daughter wants to know, what are you and your aunt going to do? Now that Uncle Feng's life and death are unknown, Rite and the Tiger Bandit Gang are ready to move on my villa, at this time, if we fight among ourselves, do you think you can still do this owner? ”
Gao Hongtu said: "Do you need to tell me these big truths?" As the saying goes, the country can't be left without an owner for a day, and you have seen a huge mountain villa, how about it? It's only a few days, and there are many big things. Do you think I'm so rare for the owner's position? But I am the deputy owner, and his owner is not there, which is my responsibility. See? Something happened to you, and you're not looking for me? Do I care? If you manage it, it is called coveting the position of the owner, and if you don't care about it, it is a dereliction of duty. But you don't know that I, the deputy owner, am just a decoration, not good, and not as good as the captain of the musket team. How do you ask me to deal with the affairs of the Ten Gates? “
Huozi snorted angrily: "Master, borrow his Gao Jinbao courage, if no one supports him, he dares to argue with the head of the ten gates?" , the boundaries of the two families have been clear ten years ago, but they took advantage of the absence of the owner of the wind to provoke disputes? If it is another family, it is understandable, but it is our Gao family, you, could it be that someone else provoked Gao Jinbao to act so recklessly?
He solemnly warned his father-in-law: "This matter, Da Nier and I have investigated it clearly, what should we do, give a happy word, if you want to collapse the Five Gang Alliance, it is a dream." ”
Gao Hongtu pointed at Huozi and warned: "Don't talk to me like that, do you hear?" I can tell you, if you insist on messing around, as the head of a village, I can remove you from the post of head of the militia group, do you believe it or not? ”
Huozi looked at him, smiled, then took Da Nier's hand, and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this right," and then he said to Gao Hongtu: "Master, I came with Da Nier today to persuade you to stop." Don't cut the road. ”
Finish, grab Da Nier and leave.
Da Nier shook him off, looked at Gao Hongtu, and earnestly persuaded: "Dad, if you take care of the villa like Uncle Feng, why don't we listen to you?" You just listen to your daughter's advice and let it go,
Gao Hongtu sighed and said, "It's all at this point, why do you want me to turn back?"
He said again: "Don't worry, Shimentou is there, I will give him Fan Zhenggang an explanation."
He waved his hand, signaled to leave, and turned his head and walked towards the Red Mansion.
Huozi looked at his back, and said for a long time: "It seems that your father is not immortal in the heart of the Yellow River,"
Da Nier said: "And that aunt, she is the driving force behind the scenes, it seems that we need to move the mind of Dongdagou, where is the real powder keg."
