Chapter 485: Go and return
The coachman was stunned, but immediately said, "The little one is an ordinary disciple of the Kui Mulang branch. He has no ability and can only drive. If the gang uses a car, the little one will be sent out, and the others... the other little ones don't know."
Seeing that the driver was confused, it didn't seem like he was lying, Qi Ning nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, there's nothing wrong." He took a piece of silver and sent it to him. The driver waved his hand and said, "The little one... the little one dared not accept it."
"I reward you, just accept it." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to go to Chengdu Prefecture City. I have a friend waiting for me, so you don't have to send me to the city."
The coachman hurriedly said, "The elder told me to send the marquis to the city, otherwise... otherwise the young one would be dereliction of duty." He also said, "If the marquis does not enter the city, the young one can send the marquis to another place."
"No need." Qi Ning stuffed the silver into the coachman's hand. "There is not much of this silver, but you can enjoy it overnight when you go to Chengdu. If you send it here, you can enjoy it yourself."
The coachman got the money and was even more respectful: "Mr. I don't have to go to the village or the shop here, so I'll let the younger one give you a ride."
"My friend has a weird temper and doesn't like seeing strangers." Qi Ning had already jumped out of the carriage. "You can go to Chengdu. When Elder Baihu asked, I said you sent me to Chengdu and I will stay in Chengdu for one night."
The coachman said gratefully: "Since the marquis gave such instructions, I will obey the order." He bowed to Qi Ning and drove the carriage toward Chengdu.
Qi Ning hid in the grass by the roadside and stared for half an hour. He didn't see the coachman coming back. It seemed that he was going to Chengdu for fun. He didn't delay at the moment and returned directly to Xinping Town.
When Qi Ning arrived outside Xinping Town, it was already dark and you could see that there were already a lit light in the town.
The town is not as good as a city, there are no city gates, only a few roads entering and exiting. In the dark, Qi Ning entered Xinping Town, but there were no disciples of the Beggars' Sect stops halfway. With Qi Ning's vigilance, he did not see any disciples of the Beggars' Sect monitoring nearby.
Although it was dark, there were people coming and going on the street. Qi Ning found a clothing shop and bought a piece of clothing. It was the most common coarse cloth clothes. Walking on the street, it was ordinary and not outstanding. Then he entered a teahouse, found a seat by the window, and looked down from the street.
Xinping Town is a must-pass place for merchants to travel to Chengdu, so many merchants will not continue to rush for safety after entering the black market. They spend the night in Xinping Town. Compared with other towns, Xinping Town naturally seems quite prosperous. After entering the black market, many travelers like to stay in restaurants and tea shops.
The fires on both sides of the street were bright, and Qi Ning was condescending, but he could see clearly. His eyes were sharp and he only looked for disciples of the Beggars' Gang on the street.
Although not all beggars in the world are disciples of the Beggars' Gang, Xinping Town is the nest of the branch of the Beggars' Gang Kui Mulang. Even if the beggars appearing in this town are not disciples of the Beggars' Gang, it will have nothing to do with the Beggars' Gang.
It is not difficult to identify Beggar Gang disciples on the street.
Qi Ning was drinking tea in the teahouse. In less than half an hour, he saw two or three groups of Beggar Gang disciples passing by, and two or three people each time.
This is the most prosperous street in Xinping Town. It is common for Beggars' Gang disciples to appear on this street, and people on the street don't care.
However, Qi Ning found that these groups of Beggar Gang disciples looked casual and natural, and did not feel as if they were waiting for a strong enemy, so they seemed quite relaxed.
Moreover, these Beggar Gang disciples did not pay much attention to the pedestrians coming and going on the street. They even talked and laughed while talking and not caring about who was around them.
A sneer appeared on Qi Ning's lips.
Elder Baihu summoned the Beggar Gang's disciples to concentrate in Xinping Town to ensure the safety of Xiang Baiying. If many Beggar Gang's disciples suddenly poured into Xinping Town, even if they were disguised, it would inevitably cause a commotion in the town. After all, a small town is no more than a county town or even a prefecture city, and hundreds of people suddenly came. If they were not noticed, it would be a whim.
Moreover, the disciples of the Beggars' Gang were quickly transferred to Xinping Town. Even if the disciples did not know the truth, they would inevitably find it strange that the atmosphere of the entire town must be different.
But what Qi Ning saw at this moment was nothing unusual, and there was no difference between it and it was not different from usual.
Elder Baihu claimed that he had set up a net of heaven and earth inside and outside Xinping Town. Every corner of the town and the travelers were under surveillance, but Qi Ning couldn't feel this at all. The beggar on the street looked natural and did not care who was coming and going around, which was completely inconsistent with what Elder Baihu said.
As the sky became darker, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Qi Ning left the teahouse and went straight to the branch of the Beggar Gang Kuimulang.
When it was approaching, behind the invisible tree, check the surrounding environment. There were still several beggars guarding the door of the old house, which was difficult to enter from the main entrance. Qi Ning went around the back door, and there were also two beggars sitting at the base of the wall, knowing that they were going to enter the old house, and there were people guarding them regardless of the front and back doors. Once you approached, you would inevitably alarm the people inside.
He walked around the side wall. Although the old house was old, the wall was not short. Fortunately, it was not difficult for Qi Ning. He easily jumped onto the wall. The night was faint and the moonlight was cold. With the moonlight, he only saw the tranquility in the old house. Qi Ning jumped off the wall and landed on the ground. He remembered to approach the place where Baiying was, and he was ghostly approaching.
With his current skills, even the White Tiger Elder could give it a try, and the other disciples were really not afraid of it.
As he approached the house where Xiang Baiying was, Qi Ning looked over from a distance and saw four disciples of the Beggar Gang holding wooden sticks, guarding them in a row.
He frowned and walked around the back of the house carefully. There was no one behind the house. The lights were reflected on the window paper. He approached the window and a gust of wind blew. Taking advantage of the wind, Qi Ning stretched out his finger and poked a hole in the window paper. Chu Huan leaned into the hole and saw Xiang Baiying lying on the bed, without any movement, as if she was asleep, so she felt relieved.
After a while, suddenly he heard footsteps. Qi Ning immediately raised his spirits and saw Elder Baihu enter the house from outside the door, approaching the bed, and gently stepping on his hands and feet. He had not yet approached Xiang Baiying, but only heard Xiang Baiying's voice asking, "Who is it?"
Elder Baihu immediately took two steps back and bowed, "Gangmaster, you are subordinate."
"Oh?" Xiang Baiying asked, "What's the matter?"
"Report to the leader of the gang, I just received the report that the little marquis has been sent to Chengdu Prefecture." Elder Baihu said: "The little marquis still asks someone to bring you a message. Please take care of the gang."
Qi Ning sneered in his heart. He had already seen the problem. At this time, he heard Elder Baihu say this and was sure that there was a big problem with the Elder Baihu.
Xiang Baiying said: "I'll stay here for a few days, and you will arrange someone to secretly send me to Beijing."
Elder Baihu immediately said: "Gangmaster? Gangmaster, you are not injured slightly, so you should not run long distances. Moreover, Xinping Town is completely under our control, so there is no need to worry about safety."
"I have my own arrangements, so there is no need to ask too much." Xiang Baiying said: "Elder Baihu, I am in Xichuan this time and I see many disciples arrogant and domineering, and some even take advantage of others. Do you know this?"
Elder Baihu immediately said: "Reporting to the gang leader, his subordinates have heard a little, and they have punished many of the rebellious disciples."
"The state has its own laws, and the gang has its own rules." Xiang Baiying said: "The Beggars' Sect can continue to this day because the predecessors formulated gang rules and regulations. If these gang rules are broken but cannot be severely punished, the Beggars' Sect will not be able to go to this day."
"I understand." Elder Baihu said respectfully: "When I convene the rudders of each branch gathering, I repeatedly warn them that my Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and countless eyes are staring at us in the world. The Beggars' Sect's disciples have always been chivalrous and righteous, helping the poor, and helping the poor. We have done our duty to help poor people. However, if we show off our ruthlessness or even take advantage of our beggars' reputation will be greatly damaged and scolded. Therefore, those who violate the gang's rules will be severely punished."
Xiang Baiying said, "You know, I feel relieved." After a pause, I asked, "I heard that half a year ago, the leader of the Huo Monkey branch changed his candidate. Is this a matter?"
"Reporting to the gang leader, there is indeed such a matter, and my subordinates are also preparing to report this to the gang leader." Elder Baihu immediately said: "The rudder leader of the gang leader who is in a hurry to drink and was injured many years ago. I persuaded him many times, but he didn't take it seriously. He drank heavily once half a year ago and suddenly passed away. At that time, more than a dozen brothers present saw it."
Xiang Baiying said "Oh" and asked, "Did he die drunk?"
"That's right." Elder Baihu said: "Originally, this should have been reported to the gang leader immediately, but the gang leader has never come to Xichuan. His subordinates have not been able to see the gang leader for half a year, so they were unable to report to the gang leader in time. After the Liang helm passed away, the entire rudder group of Huo Monkey branch had no leader, so his subordinates could only let someone take the position of the gang leader first, and when they see the gang leader, they would ask the gang leader to decide."
Xiang Baiying asked, "I heard that the new helm leader is named Cao?"
"Yes." Elder Baihu said: "Call Cao Wei!"
"Cao Wei..." Xiang Baiying pondered slightly before saying, "Seven years ago, I remember you accepted an apprentice, which seemed to be called Cao Wei."
Elder Baihu said: "Report to the gang leader, the new rudder leader of the rudder of the rudder of the rudder is the disciple of his subordinates. He has followed his subordinates for many years, and his martial arts has made great progress and is also intelligent. Before entering the Beggars' Sect, Cao Wei had read books for several years, which is considered to be both civil and military. After the death of the rudder leader, it was difficult for the entire rudder branch to find a suitable candidate. I see that Cao Wei can stand alone, so I let him temporarily take over the position of the rudder leader of the rudder branch."
"How is he managing the branch of the Fire Monkey?" Xiang Baiying asked: "Do you often ask?"
Elder Baihu smiled and said, "Cao Wei is clever and capable. Now he is in good order. People who have read books are different. The leader of the gang and his subordinates are not complimenting him. The White Tiger Seven Constellations Branch, the one who satisfies his subordinates the most is the gangster. "
Xiang Baiying said lightly: "Do you know that Cao Wei opened a money house? Do you know that he snatched the daughter of the Han family fortress as his wife?"
