After hearing Yin Zhigang's words, Lao Liu thought for a moment and replied: "Fourth brother, I think the problem must lie with the trader.
You see, if one of us has a problem, whoever knows where the transaction is is sure can also know our lair.
The other party is an official, there is no need for them to go there to ambush, they can just bring manpower to destroy our lair."
"Hmm... That makes sense. It seems like I'm overthinking it, and I just don't know what's wrong with the traders. Is it something that happened to them, or is there something wrong with these people themselves?
But no matter what it is! We are all in trouble now. I came out this time just to see if I could get the technology from these people, but now it seems there is no chance.
Moreover, after this incident, our supply of goods is completely cut off. If we cannot solve this problem as soon as possible, we will either have nothing to lose, or we will have to continue to rob the road as before."
Hearing this, Lao Liu lowered his head, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Fourth brother, leave this matter to me! I'll go and think of a solution."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhigang glanced at Lao Liu in surprise and asked, "Lao Liu, do you have a way to solve this matter?"
"Hmm..." Lao Liu nodded and explained: "Some people in Shanghai are also working on this thing. I'll go see if I can get the technology from them."
After hearing this, Yin Zhigang frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "Lao Liu, you have to be careful, those people are not good at teaching, and we have already robbed them of a lot of our business.
Share, we are so cautious because of them, so don’t let yourself get involved."
Hearing this, Lao Liu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I have my own way to accomplish this. I guarantee there will be no problem."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I want to ask you, do you have any clues about the person who attacked us last night? What is the identity of the person?"
After hearing this, Lao Liu thought for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, according to your description, these people don't look like police or military. Their weapons are pistols. They are probably spies."
"Spies? I don't remember that we have ever interacted with these people, nor have we ever offended them! Why are they here to get involved?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but if they attack us, the matter will definitely not end like this. I have already informed my elder brother and asked them to respond.
Fortunately, here, Fifth Brother doesn't know about this place. Fourth Brother, you can stay here with peace of mind. When the matter is over, someone will inform you of the situation."
"Is the matter so serious?" Listening to Lao Liu's words, Yin Zhigang couldn't believe it.
"Fourth brother, the matter may be more serious than we thought. If you are targeted by these people, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
And these guys are probably here for money. Fourth brother, think about it, how much have we made over the years? How could those people not be tempted if they know about it?"
After hearing this, Yin Zhigang frowned deeply. After a while, he came back to his senses and said: "Lao Liu, then you can report all these situations back! Let the eldest and second brothers handle it. I may still
I have to stay here for a while."
After hearing this, Lao Liu nodded, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Yin Zhigang left alone again. After going out, he frowned and stared at the door for a while before leaving.
In the side hall, after Yin Zhigang left, Lao Liu took out a long and narrow piece of paper, and then took out a pen with a very fine nib from his body, and wrote lines of small handwriting on it.
After finishing writing, Lao Liu carefully rolled up the note and rolled it into a paper column about half a centimeter in diameter and three to four centimeters in length.
"Squeak...cuckoo..." Lao Liu pushed the window of the side hall, and a series of sounds came from the pigeon cage outside the window.
Lao Liu stretched out his hand towards the pigeon cage. He stopped as soon as he reached it. After a while, he took it back. The paper column in his hand was directly thrown into his mouth. He chewed it a few times, turned around and went back to the side hall, took out the paper and pen again to write.
It started, but this time there were two pens.
This time, Lao Liu wrote two pieces. One was written for a long time, and the other was only written for a short while. However, on the long piece of paper, only faint water marks could be seen but no writing.
There is writing on the sheet.
After finishing writing, Lao Liu lit the oil lamp on the table, carefully dried the unwritten note, then rolled up the two notes and walked to the window again.
This time, Lao Liu did not reach for the pigeon cage, but first took out a small pigeon from his arms, stuffed the written note into the metal tube on the pigeon's leg, and with a bang, the pigeon flew out.
After doing this, Lao Liu took out a pigeon from the pigeon cage, put the unwritten note into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and let the pigeon out with a bang.
After Lao Liu watched the pigeons flying away from the window, he closed the window, called the person outside the door, took out two glass bottles, two pens, and a small writing brush from his body and put them on the table.
There are two glass bottles, one is transparent, with half a bottle of milky white liquid inside, but some precipitates have begun to form at the bottom of the bottle; the other is dark brown, with the same liquid inside, but the color cannot be seen clearly.
"From now on, all messages delivered by carrier pigeons should no longer be written with ink, but with things in transparent glass bottles. Be careful when writing, wait a while after writing, and then bake them carefully.
Shake the glass bottle before writing. If the precipitate cannot be shaken, stir it. Make sure the contents inside are mixed evenly, otherwise the effect will be affected.
After writing, the pen needs to be cleaned to avoid getting clogged. I have prepared a spare pen for you. If there is a problem, use the other one, but you still need to pay more attention.
If you receive a note without words, use a writing brush, dip it in the liquid in the dark bottle, and apply it lightly, and the writing will appear.
Remember that the liquid in the dark brown bottle should be closed immediately after being dipped in it, and it should not be left in the sun, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness. I will demonstrate it to you next, and you should take a closer look."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Lao Liu finished speaking, he picked up a pen from the table, opened it, shook the bottle of milky white liquid, and then started to pump the milky white liquid into the pen.
.
After drawing it, Lao Liu carefully inserted the pen tip with a handkerchief, took out a piece of paper from his body, carefully wrote a few lines, waited for a while, and then took it to the oil lamp to bake it carefully.
After the writing was dry, Lao Liu put down the note and said, "Well, it's done. Although it looks simple, the operation is still somewhat difficult. Remember to practice more."
After Lao Liu finished speaking, he picked up the writing brush, opened the dark brown glass bottle, dipped the writing brush in, and then closed the glass bottle again.
Lao Liu took the brush and applied it on the paper. The light yellow liquid followed the brush and was smeared on the paper. Blue began to appear on the paper. After a while, the handwriting appeared.
Seeing all this, the subordinates' eyes widened and they asked in disbelief: "Brother Six, this... this..."
Seeing this, Lao Liu smiled and said: "It's nothing strange, it's just a little trick. The milky white bottle is starch, the dark brown bottle is iodine solution, and when the two are combined, it will turn blue.
This is a simple chemical principle. I won’t go into more details. Even if you do, you won’t understand it. Just think of it as magic!
Be careful with that bottle of starch solution. It may go bad if left for a long time. Mix it with iodine solution before use and see if it turns blue before using it.
I came in a hurry this time and didn’t bring any spare starch. I’ll bring it to you later. If you don’t have any starch on hand, you can use white flour ribbon instead.”
Hearing this, the subordinate nodded, picked up the note from the table, carefully put it in his hand and studied it for a while.
"Brother Six, this method is really magical. Now you don't have to worry about the pigeon falling into the hands of others and leaking information. It's this word that I can't see clearly."
When Lao Liu heard this, he took the note from his subordinate and looked at it carefully. He found that some of the ink marks were indeed wider and the words were not so clear.
Lao Liu thought for a moment and figured out what was going on. He used water to adjust the starch solution directly. It should be that he added a little too much water, which caused the writing to spread too much on the paper.
Thinking of this, Lao Liu said: "I just learned this method, and I haven't mastered it yet. I'll just go down and adjust the ratio of the starch solution. Don't worry about this problem.
If you use this method during this period, you can enlarge the handwriting a bit, and this problem should not occur. I will test out the proportions and will pass them on to you."
The subordinates heard the words, nodded, and used it again under the guidance of Lao Liu. Although there were some problems due to unfamiliarity, they had generally mastered it.
On the other side, Yin Zhigang returned to Laifu Inn, looked at his subordinates, then returned to his room, finished the meal prepared by the shopkeeper and lay down on the bed.
Yin Zhigang was on the bed, looking at the roof, quietly thinking about what had just happened and the old man he met.
The sixth child, named Hu Dongsheng, joined the gang after saving Wan Xiazi's life during a gang operation three years ago. As soon as he joined the gang, he immediately became Wan Xiazi's confidant.
Since he joined, the situation in the gang has slowly begun to change. The most obvious thing is that differences have begun to appear in the gang. Wan Xiazi and the old scholar have gradually become alienated, and later started to fight.
There used to be only two leaders in the gang, but three years ago there were two more, he and Sun Laosan. At that time, he and Wan Xiazi were in a group, and he was responsible for managing the gang's eyeliners and external liaison points.
It's a pity that two years ago, two new leaders were added to the gang, Cao Dajiang and Hu Dongsheng. Originally, these two people were both blind people, but Cao Dajiang just came up and had most of his power taken away.
The sales and sales were all transferred to Hu Dongsheng.
Wan Xiazi did this and directly pushed Cao Dajiang to the old scholar's side. Although he did not take refuge there, his situation was not much better than Cao Dajiang.
After Hu Dongsheng established a foothold in the gang, everything in his hands was taken away bit by bit, and he was finally reduced to working for Cao Dajiang.
You must know that these things were worked hard by him bit by bit and were his hard work. The occurrence of this incident made him feel like he had returned to the unbearable past.
Thinking of what Sun Laosan said to him before coming out, Yin Zhigang secretly made up his mind...
