Looking at the pieces of paper placed on the small table, Mo Cong couldn't help crying or laughing. He raised his head and asked Mo Yu: "What does he mean? Have those people checked it out?"
Mo Yu nodded: "The manager of Zhang Ji Mutton Shop is not a thin man but a fat man. The old man selling firewood is over fifty years old. The widow who left the door ajar has been ten years since her husband died. Only the butcher is a little strange."
"What's the blame?"
"The butcher is a Huns, and he has been here not long. It is said that he only came here a few years ago, and the butcher just stands outside the door every day and never sells meat!"
"This is interesting!" Mo Cong smiled again: "Do you understand the whereabouts of that Laifu?"
Mo Yu's face turned red: "That man left Su Ren five days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown. No one knows. The man we sent to follow Brother Lai has also disappeared. It's probably more serious than that."
Mo Cong took a deep breath, stroking his beard with one hand, staring at the paper in front of him, constantly guessing what the four words on it meant: "Get up early tomorrow! Get up early tomorrow!"
Shao Weng stepped through the door: "Why do you want to get up early tomorrow?"
Mo Cong quickly raised his head and flicked his sleeves. The few pieces of paper on the small table disappeared immediately: "Brother Shao is here, it's nothing! I'm going to talk to that shopkeeper Sun tomorrow morning, and I asked my disciple to remind me in case it's too late.
I forgot! I am old and have a bad memory, so I will forget everything." He turned around and told Mo Yu: "Remember, I will remind you tomorrow morning, go down!"
Mo Yu nodded and saluted and exited the room. Mo Cong asked Shao Weng to sit down and poured him a glass of water: "Brother Shao, why are you so free to come to my place? Judging from Brother Shao's face, there should be good news, right?"
"Hahaha..., the Mohist giant is indeed worthy of his reputation. I have tried my best to act as natural as possible, but I didn't expect that you would still see through it!" Shao Weng took a sip of water: "There is indeed a good thing. My people discovered the traces of Su Ren's secret forces.
, it is initially estimated that there are about twenty or thirty people, all of them are masters of concealing their whereabouts, and one person has been closely monitored. I am ready to follow the clues and catch all of Su Ren's men."
"Oh! This is such a great thing. We should have a drink to celebrate!" Mo Cong stood up and went to get the wine: "I have always known that there is a secret power under Su Ren. It's a pity that I didn't get it. I didn't expect Brother Shao.
The effect will be immediate as soon as the attack is launched, can the person sent be reliable?"
Shao Weng smiled: "Brother Mo, don't worry about this. I sent Ying Guangji and Jingji. We all know their origins. These people are experts in dealing with dark forces. We can take this opportunity to test these two people."
.”
Ying Guangji was drinking and staring out the window. Jingji was sitting opposite Ying Guangji, holding a wine bottle in his hand and pouring it into his mouth. The butcher was still standing at the door, holding a handful of wine in his hand.
The stained meat cleaver has a thick back and a long blade. It is a pity that such a knife is used to kill pigs and sheep. Its only function is to kill people. Only when killing people can such a thick-backed knife not get stuck on the bones.
live.
Pedestrians on the street were walking around the butcher's stall, and few even looked at the butcher. Because the butcher looked so vicious. Not to mention his figure, the scar on his face was as long as a servant's. For this reason
One eye is missing. The mouth is also big. There is no hat on the bald head. In the cold weather, he only wears a sheepskin waistcoat, and his chest is exposed.
"Is this Su Ren's person?" Ying Guangji asked Jingji.
Jingji glanced at it and shook his head slightly: "This guy looks like a Huns at first glance. As far as I know, all the people in Su Ren are Han, and this guy is definitely not."
Ying Guangji smiled, nodded and said: "That's right. If Su Ren's secret power was discovered by those two old guys so quickly, our years would have been in vain. His relationship with Su Ren is not as close as ours.
Even if we can’t find out, there’s absolutely no way they can!”
Jingjia said: "Then we still need to check?"
"Check! Why not check? This person is not an easy person at first glance. Maybe there is something behind him. Judging from his business skills, it will definitely be difficult to feed the dozens of people in the courtyard. Even if such a person is not Su Ren's
People, I’m afraid they will also be other people’s people.”
Thorny nodded: "Okay, I'll get ready right now!"
The butcher's name is Sila, and he is an authentic Huns. He came to Shanshan three years ago. Although he looks vicious, he has never done any illegal things. Of course, this is the official word. Sila's meat stall
Business was not good, and sometimes a sheep could not be sold in a month, but he had more than a dozen apprentices in his family, and none of them left him.
Silla has no family members in Qianni City, and only men live in a courtyard. And he never uses outsiders. Everything is done by his apprentices. No one knows the details of Silla, and of course no one knows about his apprentices.
Origin. Although there were Huns, Hans, and Qiang among those people, there was not a single one from the Western Regions. This was probably one of the reasons why Shao Weng felt something was wrong.
Today, for the first time, a customer came to Sila's meat stall. He looked at the mutton sold by Sila with a critical look on his face and sniffed it hard twice: "This sheep is no longer fresh. Is there any fresh one?"
Silla ignored him, and the apprentices on the side ignored their customers even more. The man only used two fingers to hold the lamb leg and turned the mutton. A group of flies flew out from the folds of the meat with a buzzing sound, scaring the customer.
He jumped: "Oh my god, it smells bad. Can I still eat it?"
Silla rolled his eyes: “If you don’t want to sell it, leave, there is no extra meat here!”
The man didn't leave, he pinched his nose and said with a smile: "I just like this kind of smelly meat, two pounds!"
Silla was stunned, and the guys around him also looked disbelieving. They all turned to look at Silla. The man said: "What? Not selling?"
Silla glanced at the man and said to the waiter: "Cut his flesh!"
A stinking and spoiled leg of lamb was cut off, and the stench immediately began to spread. More and more people watching the excitement covered their noses. The same was true for those buying meat. They covered their noses with one hand and held the leg of lamb in disgust.
He glanced twice and suddenly threw the leg of lamb in his hand towards Silla: "This is the leg of lamb you sold me. How can I eat it if it's already smelly? You are lying! I'm going to the city lord's mansion to sue.
you!"
Silla raised his eyebrows, and the iron knife in his hand was nailed to the chopping board with a bang: “Are you looking for trouble?”
The guys also gathered around. The man who bought the meat was not afraid at all: "The meat you sold me smells bad, and you still want money? Comments, how can anyone do this kind of business? This is Qianni City, and it's me.
In the capital of Shanshan Kingdom, you actually bullied us like this. If you don’t give me an explanation today, I will definitely go to the city lord’s palace to sue you and arrest all you deceitful Huns!”
Silla was very angry, his teeth gritted and his fists clenched. Just when Silla was about to have a fit, the courtyard door behind him suddenly opened, and a handsome Han man appeared behind Silla. This Han man was good-looking and had fine features.
No matter what he said, he always had a smile on his face and seemed to be polite to everyone. He would hold his fist and salute before he said anything.
Ying Guangji spit out the tea he just drank: "How could it be him?"
Thorny turned his head and glanced: "Who is it? Do you know him?"
Ying Guangji put down his tea bowl and pointed at the Han man who was negotiating with the customer: "Do you still remember the wealthy businessman you met in Jinyang when you went to Mayi? He seemed to be called Shaogong, that person was him!"
Jingjie quickly took a second look and frowned slightly: "When you said that, I really remembered it. The man was really similar, but I remember that the young master was a slightly fat man. This man was a little thinner, not to mention that
Didn't he have an unusual relationship with the Mo family back then? Why didn't I hear Mo Cong and the others mention it?"
Ying Guangji chuckled: "One moment, another moment. When you get to Yanmen, you will become a horse thief. You don't know many things. This young master later took refuge with Liu Hong and left Yi Zhixie before Yi Zhixie and Yu Dan took action.
Zhixie, there has been no trace since then, I didn’t expect these people to have arrived in the Western Regions.”
"You mean..."
Ying Guangji nodded: "Nine times out of ten!"
Tiangang Disha is the most powerful force under Su Ren. In order to ensure the safety of this trip to the Western Regions, he sent all Tiangang Disha to the Western Regions. Han Qing is the person in charge of Tiangang Disha. In order to find the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Sun, he almost used
Everyone. Qianni City must be a small city, not as complicated as Chang'an, nor as heavily guarded as Chang'an.
After only one night, Ah Xun sent back the news that the matter of Shopkeeper Sun had already begun to take shape. As Han Qing had guessed, Shopkeeper Sun had been snatched away by the Mo family and was now being imprisoned in a house in the east of the city.
The Mo family was actually very interested in Shopkeeper Sun, and secretly sent no less than ten guards, all of whom were good hands.
Su Ren nodded: "I'm afraid this is the Hongcheng and Mo family's threats against us. Shopkeeper Sun must be rescued no matter what, otherwise it will chill the hearts of those merchants who are still following us!"
"The Mo family is heavily guarded, how can we rescue them? Even sending Tiangang Disha will be difficult."
Su Ren thought for a while: "This is indeed a problem. If you think about it, there must be a way. Any fortress can be breached, and anything can be stolen, including people."
Han Qing glanced at Su Ren: "You always hear such words from your mouth, and I don't know who is saying it. Jiyu thought of two ways, one is to attack by force, and the other is to go underground. I think from next door
It would be more appropriate to dig a tunnel in the yard."
Speaking of tunnels, Su Ren actually remembered the tunnel in Wenshui County back then. It was the first time he and Leng Jun sold illegal salt. In order to earn enough food for the three of them, they were almost beaten to death by Hou Jian's men.
"What are you laughing at, sir?"
Su Ren waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events. You can try some authentic things. The ground here is loose and digging is fast. Now the weather is cold and the possibility of landslides is the lowest. It's best to rescue them. Just
If you don’t come out, don’t force it, let’s find other ways.”
Hawking hurriedly ran in, pushed open Su Ren's door, gasped and pointed to the door: "The fight is starting, the fight is starting!" (To be continued)
