Chapter 64 Borrowing a Wild Dog
Seeing Lu Wu suddenly come to the store, Li Zhang was also startled. He hurriedly grabbed the drawings in front of him and put them into his sleeves. However, at this time, Lu Wu had already come to him. Seeing his movements, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are you hiding?"
"Nothing, Uncle Wu, why are you here? Don't you have to be on duty today?" Of course, Li Zhang could not let Lu Wu see the things on the paper, and immediately changed the subject.
"It's good if you don't work. Today I'm here to borrow someone from you!" Lu Wu sighed at this time, looking full of worries.
"Borrow someone?" Li Zhang also showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
"Yes, the ghost beggars in Tokyo have been so fierce recently, and the yamen is also under a lot of pressure. Now I can't stand it anymore. The superior has already issued an order to let us catch at least twenty ghost beggars in a month, otherwise we will wait for punishment!" Lu Wu said helplessly at this time.
"I understand. You want to borrow wild dogs. But it's not too many to catch twenty in a month?" Li Zhang immediately understood Lu Wu's purpose, but then he said in a little puzzled manner that there must be seven or eight ghost beggars killed by wild dogs during this period. There are so many people in the yamen. In Li Zhang's opinion, it should not be difficult to catch twenty ghost beggars.
"It's light to say that those ghost beggars are almost becoming selves. They usually snatch people at the sewer entrance and run away. As long as they enter the sewer, no one can catch up with them. During this period, there were less than twenty ghost begs caught in Tokyo, and most of them were caught by the people around them when they snatched people. For this reason, the superiors directly called us yamen runners for eating." Lu Wu said with a blank look when he heard Li Zhang's words.
"They are not spiritual, but someone teaches them to do this!" Just as Lu Wu finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly heard a voice. When the two turned their heads and looked, they found that the wild dogs came to the store at some point.
"Someone taught these ghost beggars. Could it be that these ghost beggars have already started to be organized?" Lu Wu couldn't help but show a solemn expression when he heard the wild dog's words. The outside world knows very little about ghost beggars. Even if a few ghost beggars were caught in the yamen, the number of things that were interrogated was pitifully small.
"Yes, Tokyo City is so big, and the underground passages are complicated. In the past, ghost beggars were actually divided into several forces, and they even fought over territorial battles. However, some people had unified ghost beggars a few years ago. Now these ghost beggars who came out to steal people are just the most peripheral ghost beggars, and they know very little information!" The wild dog said again.
"Then how do you know so clearly?" Lu Wu asked curiously when he heard this.
However, when it comes to Lu Wu's inquiry, Wild Dog kept silent. It seemed that he didn't want to answer this question, which made Lu Wu a little angry. Li Zhang was afraid that he would get angry, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Wild Dog, do you know who the ghost beggars are at the core, and where they usually gather. If you know these, you might be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
When Lu Wu heard Li Zhang's words, his eyes lit up. The reason why they could not catch the ghost beggar was because these ghost beggars were elusive and they could not get any useful information. But if there was a Wild Dog who knew the inside story, he might be able to directly take over the leader of the ghost beggar.
"It's useless. Although I know some of the leaders of the ghost beggar, these people have no place to live. They often live for a while and change places. The places for gatherings change from time to time. In addition, there are many ghost beggars, so they are very vigilant against outsiders. As long as outsiders break in, they will immediately cause siege of the ghost beggars. Therefore, unless a large army is sent down, it is impossible to eliminate the ghost beggars!" The wild dog shook his head and said at this time.
"These people are indeed rats!" Lu Wu couldn't help but say hate when he heard this. However, since this plan was not enough, he spoke again, "Darang, lend me the wild dog for a few days, and I will return it to you after I have caught enough twenty ghost beggars for me!"
"Don't ask me, as long as the wild dog is willing, he can do whatever he wants!" Li Zhang spread his hands. He never regarded the wild dog and Douzi as his subordinates, nor was he his own private property. Therefore, if Lu Wu wants to borrow someone, he must get the consent of the wild dog.
"I do, but I can only go out during the day and have to come back at night!" The wild dog replied immediately. Lu Wu taught him martial arts. He also wanted to help Lu Wu do something, but he still had to protect the safety of his home at night, so he definitely couldn't go out. As for the day, there was no need to worry too much.
"Okay, that's all, I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Seeing the wild dog agree, Lu Wu immediately spoke.
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he was about to leave. After all, he came here mainly to borrow wild dogs. However, at this time, Li Zhang suddenly grabbed him and said quietly: "Uncle Wu, don't you have anything to say?"
"What did you say?" Lu Wu asked at Li Zhang with wide eyes.
"Uncle Wu, don't pretend to be confused. Who is the origin of the Mrs. Liu yesterday?" Li Zhang asked knowingly.
"Don't inquire about it, you will tell you what you should know in the future!" Without Li Zhang's surprise, Lu Wu's words were indeed very strict and he refused to reveal any of his identity about Liu E.
"Then what is your relationship with Mrs. Liu? I think Mrs. Liu is not an ordinary woman. With your relationship with him, maybe as long as she talks, you don't have to stay in the county government office to be a small team leader." Li Zhang said again, asking about the relationship between Lu Wu and Liu E was his real purpose.
"You kid has a lot of fun. She is her, I am me, and I am the leader of my class is doing well, so there is no need to change places!" Lu Wu glared at him when he heard Li Zhang's words.
"Uncle Wu, people are walking to a high place. Although your team leader is good, he is often angry. For example, if you can't catch a ghost beggar, you might even get beaten. But if you become an official, who will dare to make things difficult for you?" Li Zhang tentatively said again at this time.
"Hmph, so what if you become an official? Do you think the officialdom is so easy to mess around? You don't know my character. It's okay to let me fight, kill and catch a few thieves. If you want me to go to the officialdom and play tricks with others, you might as well throw me directly into the sea of fire!" Lu Wu glared at Li Zhang again at this time. He knew his weight very well. Even if his mission is completed in the future, he would not want to leave his current position.
"This..." Li Zhang felt it was reasonable when he heard this. He smiled and didn't know what to say again. However, his two tests did not have any effect, which disappointed him.
"Okay, take good care of Li'er. Your father probably has no shame to come back during this period. Also, don't ask around. You know that too much is not a good thing for you." Lu Wu was about to turn around and leave here after saying that, but then suddenly paused, and then turned to Li Zhang again and said, "Dalang, no matter what happens in the future, you just need to remember one thing, Uncle Wu, I will always be on your side!"
After saying that, Lu Wu turned around and left, not giving Li Zhang a chance to speak again. Li Zhang was stunned for a moment, and he was also thinking about the meaning of Lu Wu's last sentence, but Lu Wu's tone was too strict and he did not reveal any useful information at all. This made him think for a long time without any clue.
"Forget it, I already know too much today. Let's put the remaining mysteries slowly to solve them in the future. One day, they will be solved all of them!" Li Zhang finally shook his head helplessly. After saying that, he came to the stove where he was cooking braised meat, and threw the relationship diagram he had drawn before in, and then left after watching it burning to ashes.
The next morning, Lu Wu came to take the wild dog away in person, and he left two yamen runners to guard nearby. The main reason is that Li Zhang's business is so good now, and sometimes some unsightly guys come to make trouble, just to extort a few money. However, with wild dogs in the past, these people naturally could not get any advantage, but if the wild dogs were not there, it would be hard to say, so Lu Wu left someone to replace the wild dogs.
As soon as Lu Wu and the Wild Dog left, another acquaintance came to the store. When Li Zhang saw each other, he couldn't help but smiled in surprise: "It seems that your weight loss has been effective. If you haven't seen each other for a while, you have lost several laps than before!"
The person who came was Jinshan, who had not seen for many days, and now he has indeed lost weight. At least the facial features on his face can be seen clearly, rather than being squeezed into a slit like before.
"Slimming means losing weight, but you don't know how hard I have lived during this period!" Jin Shan said weakly. Since his mother refused to let him eat meat, he has been half-dead every day, and it seems that he has lost the greatest joy in his life without meat.
"Your mother is also for your own good!" Li Zhang smiled and then invited him into the backyard. Then he asked curiously, "By the way, didn't I tell you about foie gras last time? Have you tried it?"
When Li Zhang mentioned the foie gras, Jinshan finally got a little excited and said, "I tried the method you said. I asked someone to fill in their stomachs with bamboo tubes every day. Yesterday I asked someone to kill one, but it turned out to be as you said. The duck's liver is half bigger than an average duck."
"Haha~, I saw it. Your liver is not worse than that duck's liver. If it turns into cirrhosis in the future, it will be hard for the gods to save it." Li Zhang laughed loudly when he heard this. There is no cure for cirrhosis in later generations. He can only detect and prevent the development of the disease in the early stage.
"Yes, I was shocked when I saw the duck's liver yesterday. And I had a problem with it, but I was reluctant to waste things, so I fryed the duck liver. It was really fragrant, but I couldn't help but eat it!" Jinshan said at the end of the day, and a look of aftertaste appeared on his face.
"You... did you really eat it?" Li Zhang couldn't help but point at Jinshan and shivered when he heard this. He just wanted Jinshan to know the harm of obesity, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.
