A giant net spreads out silently in the city of Xi'an.
Moles hiding in the dark emerged from underground holes and sewers one after another.
Sometimes, these low-level prey can do things that hunting dogs cannot do with ease.
In the dark room of Yihefa Gambling Hall, the figure with a black diamond and a golden sword was sitting, with a circle of subordinates standing around him.
Blah, blah.
The two shiny iron eggs in Black Vajra's hands are constantly turning. Anyone who knows him well knows that he is in an extremely irritable mood right now.
Therefore, everyone who talks to him should be very careful.
"The original owner of the butcher shop where King Qin met the assassin at the age of 1000 was named Zhao. He was not from Xi'an, but came from Shang County. When he was a teenager, he followed his father to sell meat in the city. The accumulation of two generations in the city
I bought a shop here."
"Later, the old man from the Zhao family died, and the shop was inherited by shopkeeper Zhao. He had no sons, so he brought his nephew from his hometown and ran it with his mother-in-law."
"Shopkeeper Zhao is a good old man. Everyone on the street knows him. I have never heard of him having a romantic relationship with anyone, even if he meets unreasonable customers..."
"What the hell are you talking about storytelling with me?"
Crash, Tiedan’s voice stopped.
Black King Kong shouted angrily at the person speaking in front of him, making the person tremble in fright.
The person standing in front of him looked like a rough-and-tumble man, with a tall and thin man with a scar running across his face. But unlike ordinary gangsters, this person's eyes were full of philistine and shrewdness, and you could tell at a glance.
He is a half-black and half-white figure who hangs out on the street all year round.
This man has another nickname, Jack of All Trades.
He is the person most despised by people like Black King Kong. You can say that he is a good person. He has done all kinds of bad things. He cheated, defrauded, dug up the graves of poor families, kicked the doors of widows, and even scratched the bodies of dead people. But if you say he is a bad person, he bullies the weak and fears the strong.
, bluffing to bully more and do less! When encountering a tough opponent, the only crime is to beg for mercy.
And if you don't make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes, it's like a toad on your feet, which is the most annoying thing.
However, the world is still inseparable from such people. There is nothing in the streets that they don't know.
"But on the fifth day of last month, Zhao's Butcher's Shop suddenly changed owners. I asked all the shops around Zhao's Butcher's Shop, and they all said they didn't hear the original shopkeeper Zhao saying that he wanted to cash out. I also asked all the shops around him.
Yaxingren, they don’t know either.”
"The new owner of the butcher shop said his surname is Wang, and he is a couple with their nephew. They don't interact much with the people around them, and they don't use any of the oil, meat, etc. that the Zhao family used before..."
At this point, Wanshitong saw that Black King Kong was about to get angry again, so he quickly speeded up his speech and said less harshly, "A new shop has opened, and the brothers on the street want to try it out. The younger one took someone there once, and the shopkeeper
It was easy to talk to him, so he gave me two bunches of money without saying anything!"
"Actually, you guys are not here to ask for money. You have set rules for everyone. We brothers are not allowed to go to places where the government collects money. I just thought something was fishy at the time..."
"Usually, when traders see our brothers, they will give us a free meal at most. We don't even have to think about money. If the brothers try to push their limits, they will rarely see the officials. If they encounter a tough situation, they will risk their lives to cut the knife on the spot.
"
"It is written in the laws of the Ming Dynasty that if a good citizen is extorted and bullied, killing someone out of anger is a crime of up to thirty boards!"
I know that you are here to see someone new and want to take advantage!" Heijingang said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, talk about serious things!"
Wan Shitong wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Yes, yes, that's why I paid attention. I asked the brothers to find out secretly. The couple opened a shop during the day and rented a house in Xuejia Lane, Andingmen at night."
"Their life is extremely simple, they just sleep and open a shop!"
Suddenly, San'er, who was standing behind Heijingang with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, suddenly said to Heijingang, "Brother, something is wrong. Anding Gate is about ten miles away from their shop! Not to mention that they go back and forth like this every day.
It's a waste of time. How can ordinary businessmen buy a shop and rent a house outside? Do you think you have too much money? Which small business person doesn't squeeze all the money out of his teeth? "
Black King Kong nodded, turned to Wanshi Channel, "Go on!"
"What the third master said is that the little one thinks there is something strange here." The tall and thin man continued, "And when they go back every day, they carry a load. The little one watched in the dark and saw that no one was in their shop during the day.
Not much, not as prosperous as when the Zhao family was in business. But they cook a lot of meat during the day, so if they can’t sell it during the day, they pick it back at night..."
"Brother!" San'er, the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked man, spoke again, pondering, "I'm afraid there are more than just these people living in their house."
Bang, the iron egg of the Black Vajra Master stopped.
"You don't do business like this, how can you cook so much meat with so few customers?" San'er said thoughtfully, "There must be someone in the house, and they brought it back to those people to eat!" He said with a grin, "The people in the house can't see it.
For fear of letting the neighbors see it, you can't cook with light! Hehe, we brothers are familiar with this method!"
Black King Kong also thought for a moment, "Whose house do they live in?"
Wan Shitong quickly said, "I have inquired about it a long time ago. The owner of that house was originally a young boy. It is said that after renting the house to them, he returned to his hometown in the countryside."
"Actually, if the government puts a little effort into these things, can they find out?" Heijingang scratched his forehead with his big hand, feeling a little puzzled.
Know-how looked at him and said with a smile, "What the government can find are shops and houses that have been registered with the government and have books and files. Where can they go to check if there is no one there?" After saying that, he paused.
"There are so many things like this in Xi'an. It costs a lot of money to find someone to report it to the government. No one is stupid. It's great to have money to eat, drink and go whoring. Wouldn't it be stupid to give it to the government?
"
"Do business quietly, and the government will tell you otherwise if they find out."
The Ming Dynasty had a strict household registration system. According to the law, every change of real estate and shops, etc., must be marked in detail who bought and lived in it, what the shop was used for, and what business it opened.
Firstly, it facilitates management, and secondly, it facilitates tax collection.
However, there is a saying that goes well, if the people do not complain, the officials will not investigate. There are people in the shops where people conduct private transactions, and the government does not care what you do.
Black King Kong looked at Wan Shitong again, "Did the government not ask you about this?"
"Asked!" Wan Shitong said with a smile, "I don't know anything about it!" He said with a smile, "On weekdays, I am yelled at by the guards, and they hit me every now and then. Now when something happens,
Come to me. Hey, little is just three words, I don’t know!” At this point, he nodded and bowed again, “But ask me, I know everything I know and can tell you everything.”
Heijingang smiled, but behind him, San'er, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, stared at Wan Shitong.
"After King Qin was assassinated a thousand years ago, where were the people in that house?" He said, his eyes narrowed, reflecting a cold light like a dagger, "Don't say you don't know!"
Wan Shitong shivered again, "Little... little!"
With a splash, Black King Kong turned the iron egg in his hand and said with a smile, "Speak carefully and I won't treat you badly!"
Wan Shitong swallowed and said, "On the day King Qin Qiantai was assassinated, the villain was happily living in Widow Xu's house on the street next to her......"
