"Beggars?" The two brothers asked in unison, but they didn't expect this result.
"Yes, what's so strange? Wherever there are beggars, there will naturally be a beggar gang." Ah Fang said matter-of-factly: "You actually know the leader of the beggar gang in Nanchang, his nickname is A Shu."
"Little mouse?" The two of them remembered that the child was only twelve or thirteen years old back then. He was a little beggar whose parents were both dead. During the Hongdu defense war, he wandered around the city and gave money to people at various city gates.
Soldiers would deliver messages and things, help transport the wounded, deliver dry food, in short, they would do anything to make ends meet.
Therefore, no one in Hongdu City knew him at that time.
"I didn't expect that more than ten years later, he would become the leader of the Beggar Clan." Hu Quan sighed: "But it's normal. When I saw that boy back then, he looked different from ordinary beggars."
"The Nu family doesn't know exactly how that person fell into his hands, and I don't want to ask." Afang continued: "It's Ah Shu... His big name is Shu Laibao now. He found me that day and asked me for it.
Some rhino horn, ambergris and pearls."
"Rhinoceros horn can clear away heat and calm convulsions, cool blood and detoxify; ambergris promotes qi and activates blood, dissipates knots and relieves pain, diuresis and relieves stranguria; pearls also have the effect of detoxifying and promoting muscle growth." Hu Quan has been in the army for a long time and knows these precious medicinal materials well.
."This is someone who has been wounded by a sword, the wound is suppurating, and the blood is hot and has a fever."
"Brother Zhang is really well-informed," Afang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, these are for the seriously injured. Back in Hongdu, Marshal Zhu had both legs broken and his fever would not go away. It was because of these precious things.
Healed by medicinal herbs.”
"During this period, all the pharmacies and medical clinics are under the government's special attention, and you can't buy from them. But A Shu is smart and thought that the slave family would have such things." A Fang Xiaoxiao
Sigh.
"Why do you have these things here?" the second uncle asked in an angry voice.
"Zhang Lang, this is a jewelry balm house, how come there are no pearls? Although ambergris is expensive, the slave family can still afford it." A Fang said with a slight smile.
"I know you are a rich woman." Hu Bo asked again, "Where are the rhinoceros horns?"
"I told you it was just a toy..." A Fang was a little embarrassed.
"Oh..." The second uncle understood instantly.
"Like a comb or something, what are you thinking about?" Afang rolled his eyes at the two of them, and then chuckled.
"I thought it was a rhinoceros horn cup." Hu Bo also chuckled.
"Ahem, let's be serious." The uncle couldn't stand these two people driving in front of him, so he coughed and said, "So, you can tell through this that the person is at A Shu's place?"
"Yes, people from the Beggar Clan are cheap. Even Ah Shu himself would never use such extravagant medicinal materials. The most he can do is dig up some astragalus and isatis root in the mountains and fool around with it. If he can't be cured, he will die early or give birth to a child."
A Fang nodded and said:
"So, Ah Shu must be saving an important outsider. He asked me not to ask him what he was using it for. In fact, he was telling me who he was saving."
"Although I gave it to him, I am really worried about him. The government is looking for him like crazy, but the Beggar Clan hides and secretly treats him. Once someone reports on him, it will be a disaster." Afang sighed softly:
"This little brother is the only one left now. He still remembers that I am not only a bustard who makes dirty money, but also contributed to the defense of Nanchang City. So I don't want anything to happen to him." She looked up at Hu Quan and said:
"Brother Zhang, go find him and pick up that dangerous guy."
"Don't worry, as long as we find that guard, we will close the net and catch all Xiong Qitai and his gang." Hu Quan said solemnly: "But I have to trouble A Fang and tell me where I can find A Shu. It's best to help me again.
Write a letter and explain the whole story. Let's talk to him and see what his purpose is and how he can hand the person over to us."
"This..." Ah Fang looked confused: "This way Ah Shu will definitely blame the slave family for betraying him."
"I'll keep my dick for one more month." Hu Quan used his trump card again.
"Fuck..." The second uncle's eyes darkened, but he also knew the seriousness and did not dare to say no.
"Well, since Brother Zhang has spoken, the Nu family has no choice but to blame Ah Shu." Afang seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "Let's let Zhang Lang stay for two more months, and the Nu family will act as the middleman and go there in person.
Find Ah Shu, or call Ah Shu over and get you guys together to talk."
"Two months?" The second uncle fainted immediately.
"This kindness can only be accepted with heart. It's not that we can't trust you, but we can't bring you danger." Hu Quan shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, Xiong Qitai already knows our whereabouts, and now every move we make is...
There is no way to escape his eyes and ears.
"So, when you step out of Chunfang Pavilion, you will be watched by others to see where you have been and who you have met. If necessary, you will be arrested at any time and tortured."
"Ah..." Ah Fang was really scared. She had never left Nanchang in her life. One can imagine the pressure that being the governor of a province put on her.
"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't stay too far away from the second child, you'll be fine." Hu Quan comforted her: "They already know his identity, and no one dares to act wild under his nose."
Despite Hu Bosheng's sloppy writing, he is still the real brother of the Concubine Xian and the uncle of the King of Chu.
"Okay, okay..." A Fang nodded hurriedly, very satisfied with this arrangement. "The slave family will never leave Zhang Lang."
"Fuck..." The second brother just woke up and fainted again. Can he still let me take a breath?
So Ah Fang no longer had to visit Shu, and honestly introduced the situation of the Beggar Clan and several of the strongholds that Ah Shu often used, and then wrote a letter to him full of typos.
The literacy rate in this era was extremely low. After becoming a madam, Fang still had to schedule shifts and settle accounts, so she forced herself to recognize a few words. Of course, when she picked up the pen, she was still confused, and it was inevitable that she would have one more stroke and one less stroke. But that's it.
Just right, the anti-counterfeiting effect is excellent.
Hu Quan put the letter and the token given by Afang close to his body, and then told the two of them: "When people come and go in the Vasheli, their hawks and dogs will definitely be indispensable. You should also stay vigilant in the room."
As he spoke, he glared at his second brother and said, "Especially you, don't act like a hungry ghost all day long. You have to recharge your batteries and stay in top condition at all times. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, don't worry, big brother, I will definitely be obedient." Hu Bo almost burst into tears. Big brother still loves him. This is obviously helping him to show his freedom from war.
Ah Fang also knows the priorities. Although it is a bit regretful, she can only put the overall situation first and reduce Zhang Lang's burden.
Hu Quan gave his brother another firework as a signal for emergency contact, and then left Chunfang Pavilion.
Now the other party knew their identities, and they also knew that the other party knew their identities. The two parties were actually in a state of openness, so Hu Quan didn't bother to cover up, and walked out of the door and went straight back to Toad Street.
