At the first watch of the night, two men wearing curtain hats came outside the door of the giant whale gang's helmsman's house. They knocked on the door. The drooping black gauze from the brim of their hats obscured their faces. The doorman didn't know who they were.
Asked: "What do you two do for a living?"
One of them said: "I am the leader of the Jinpeng Gang, Gao Shixiao, and I want to see the leader of the Jiang Gang."
The disciple said: "You two, please wait a moment. The younger one will go in and report."
After a while, the doorman returned and led the two of them into the flower hall to sit down. The two took off their curtains and hats, and saw another man wearing a golden skull ghost mask, who was Yan Jun.
It was not long before the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, "Hai Pili" Jiang Haiyang, walked in. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Is this the fragrant wind that blew Gang Leader Gai to our gang? I didn't greet you from far away. It's rude." Jian Yan.
Jun was stunned when he was wearing a golden mask.
Yan Jun and Gaishi Xiao stood up and returned the gift.
After Jiang Haiyang sat down, he asked: "Gai Gang Leader, who is this person next to you?"
The peerless owl said: "This is the leader of our Hell Sect, Lord Yan."
Jiang Haiyang heard that Hell Sect has annexed many sects in the north in the past year, and thought: "Why did this guy come to me? Could it be that he wants to annex the Giant Whale Gang? Hehe, if you really dare to do this, I am not afraid of you."
He has the support of the Beggar Clan. Although he knows that the Hell Sect is powerful, he is not afraid of it.
Asked: "I wonder if Lord Yan has come to our gang to give you any advice?"
Yan Jundao: "The night before last, a ship from our gang sank off the coast of Baoshan. There were dozens of boxes of things on the ship. I would like to ask your help to salvage it. I can't ask Gang Leader Jiang to help me. After the things are salvaged, I will take them out."
One hundred thousand taels of silver, as compensation for the brothers’ hard work. I wonder what Gang Jiang’s plan is?”
Seeing that the other party was not planning to annex the Giant Whale Gang, Jiang Haiyang felt relieved and thought to himself: "He is willing to pay a hundred thousand taels of remuneration. It seems that those dozens of boxes of things must be valuable, and maybe they are all yellow and white."
"
He felt that the business was profitable, so he readily agreed and said, "I need to mobilize manpower, and we won't be able to start work for a while."
Yan Jundao: "How long will it take?"
Jiang Haiyang said: "It will take half a month at least. Brother Yan Jun, don't be anxious. Stay with our help and we will start work when all the people are gathered."
Yan Jun said: "I have somewhere else to go, so I won't cause trouble to Gang Leader Jiang. We will meet again in half a month." He stood up and left.
Li Tianmu was lying on the flower hall, his ear pressed against the tiles, eavesdropping, thinking: "Rongtian is really a mastermind, and Yan Jun is indeed here." When he saw Yan Jun leaving the helm of the Giant Whale Gang, he followed him quietly and secretly.
Mou Rongtian was meditating on the couch, practicing his internal skills while waiting for news about Li Tianmu. At the second watch, the door opened and Li Tianmu walked in. Mou Rongtian said, "Did Yan Jun go to the Giant Whale Gang?"
Li Tianmu hummed and said, "You guessed it right. Yan Jun has indeed gone and asked Jiang Haiyang to help salvage the property from the sunken ship."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Where will that guy stay?"
Li Tianmu said: "They are hiding in Baiyi Temple in Dayin Town, thirty miles away."
Mou Rong added: "Yan Jun is really cunning. He is hiding in a nunnery. We must catch them all this time. We can't let them cause trouble anymore. I have to talk to Jiang Haiyang."
He got up and went to the chief helm of the Giant Whale Gang. After meeting Jiang Haiyang, he explained the stakes and asked Jiang Haiyang to cooperate with the Jin Yiwei to arrest Yan Jun and others.
Jiang Haiyang complained endlessly in his heart. He didn't want to offend the Hell Sect, but he didn't dare to offend the Jin Yiwei, so he had no choice but to obey his orders.
Mou Rongtian returned to the branch office and wrote a secret letter overnight, asking Wang Baihu to send someone 800 miles away to the Jinyiwei General Office as a rush to ask Luo Sigong for help. In order to prevent Yan Jun and others from escaping, Mou and Li decided to take shifts day and night.
Monitor.
Li Tianmu said: "I will be responsible for the evening."
Mou Rongtian knew that it was hard to stay up late and didn't want Li Tianmu to suffer, so he said, "I'd better go at night. I'm not good at light work and will be easily exposed during the day."
Li Tianmu felt that what he said made sense, so he acted accordingly, and Mou Rongtian went to Baiyi nunnery that night.
Two days later, Black Rose came from Suzhou after hearing the news. She saw Mou Rongtian practicing his sword alone in the courtyard and asked, "Master Mou, where is Li Tianmu?"
Mou Rongtian finished the move and said: "You are here, Tianmu has gone to do some business, and you won't be back until evening."
Black Rose said: "Master Mou, you are really capable. You single-handedly saved Li Tianmu from the tiger's mouth. My aunt is very impressed."
Mou Rongtian said: "It's nothing." He paused and then said: "Miss Black, we want to destroy the Hell Gate. We are currently short of manpower. I would like to trouble you to go to Yangzhou and invite the three monsters of Yangzhou to help. I wonder if you are willing?"
Black Rose said: "My aunt is not your subordinate. You can't send me around. If Li Tianmu asks for help, that's a different matter."
In the evening of that day, Mou Rongtian went to the dense forest near Baiyi'an to change shifts with Li Tianmu and said: "Black Rose is here. I want to ask him to go to Yangzhou to find the Yangzhou Three Monsters to help. Black Rose said that only you would bother to touch her. You
Go back and talk to her."
Li Tianmu didn't want to beg Black Rose and said, "Why bother asking her to go? Why not send someone else to deliver the message?"
Mou Rongtian said: "The three monsters of Yangzhou are from the Jianghu. It is not appropriate to invite the Jin Yiwei. Since you can't leave, we can only ask Black Rose."
Li Tianmu said: "Okay, I'll tell her." He returned to the branch office and told Black Rose, who immediately agreed readily.
When Black Rose arrived at the Dingyuan Escort Bureau in Yangzhou, the three monsters in Yangzhou knew that Li Tianmu was not dead. They were all very happy. When they heard that Mou Rongtian wanted to ask them to help destroy the Hell Gate, Ji Chunfan agreed. A few days later, he returned to Ningbo with Black Rose.
Stay at Jinyiwei Branch.
Jiang Haiyang had to spend half a month to mobilize manpower, and the half-month period was up in the blink of an eye. Yan Jun sent the unparalleled lord to come to inquire. Since the reinforcements from Jin Yiwei had not arrived yet, Mou Rongtian asked Jiang Haiyang to use the excuse that he did not have all the manpower.
, postpone it for another ten days.
Seven days later, reinforcements from the Jin Yiwei arrived, including Baiyun Duangjian, Yanzi Shiyi, Beizhen Fusi garrison deputy Qianhu "Ancient Evil" Dianwei, and Dezhen.
Last year, Dezhen received a letter from Mou Rongtian and learned that the murderer of his family, Gao Jianzheng, had been arrested and sentenced to death. Dezhen was so happy that he came to the capital from Kongtong Mountain to thank Mou Rongtian.
Only when we arrived did we find out that someone had robbed Gao Jianling and rescued him. At that time, Mou Rongtian and others were protecting Zhao Nanxing and could not take care of Gao Jianling's case. Luo Sigong ordered Li Xiaozhong, a guard from Qianhu, Fusi, Beizhen, to take charge of the case.
Dezhen wanted to help Li Xuanzhong, and Li Xuanzhong knew that Dezhen was highly skilled in martial arts, so he was naturally willing.
After the State Crown Prince Challenge, Luo Sigong saw that Li Xiaozhong was not doing well and had not yet arrested Gao Jianzheng, so he handed the case over to Mou Rongtian. Later Mou Ying passed away, Mou Rongtian was replaced by Ding You, and Dong Fuyu temporarily managed the Detective Division on Mou Rongtian's behalf.
The case was again handled by him.
After Dong Fuyu arrived, he asked Mou Rongtian when he would take action. Mou Rongtian said: "We will take action in three days."
Dong Fuyu said: "Why wait another three days? Why not take action immediately?"
Mou Rongtian said: "I want to do it on the boat. Once they get to the sea, they will never be able to escape unless they have wings."
Dong Fuyu said: "That's right."
Mou Rongtian asked Wang Baihu to arrange for everyone to go to the guest room to rest. He called Dong Fuyu to his room alone and said, "Fuyu, let me tell you something."
Dong Fuyu said: "What's going on?"
Mou Rong added: "The holy aunt of Hell Gate looks exactly like Miss Dong and is similar in age. Do you think this is strange?"
Dong Fuyu was startled and thought to himself: "Little sister, she must be a little sister." In his mind, he recalled many past events in his childhood that he could not bear to look back on.
Dong Fuyu's original name was Dong Youcai. He was born in Zichuan County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. His father was a wealthy businessman who ran the donkey hide gelatin business. The house was full of gold and silver, and there were more than a dozen outhouses outside. Dong Fuyu's
Mother is one of these many outer chambers.
Dong Fuyu has two twin sisters, one is called the eldest sister and the other is called the younger sister. The eldest sister is Dong Qing, who is seven years younger than him. When he was ten years old, his father passed away, and the eldest lady took several evil people with her.
The slave servants came to the house and asked them to clean up and leave the house.
A family of four lived on the street. Dong's mother suffocated her anger and became ill. She died within a few days. The three siblings were helpless and begged along the street. Nine out of ten of the food they got was snatched away by other beggars.
The two sisters were so hungry that they cried.
Dong Fuyu was furious and shouted: "You bully children, you are shameless." These words earned him a severe beating and he was almost crippled.
Dong Fuyu realized that begging was not the way to go. If he continued like this, he would starve to death. He wanted to find a way for his two sisters and himself to survive, so the three brothers and sisters knelt on the street and put straw signs on their heads to show their willingness to sell.
Not long after the straw mark was inserted, a Jurchen came to talk to him and asked him how much he would sell his sister for. Dong Fuyu said: "One hundred coins each."
The Jurchen was willing to buy one. Dong Fuyu said: "Uncle, please buy us three brothers and sisters. We can be slaves or maids."
The Jurchen shook his head and said, "I only need one. Any more would be a waste of food."
Dong Fuyu said sadly: "Okay then, which one of them do you want to take away?"
The Jurchen asked the eldest sister and the younger sister to open their mouths, looked at their teeth, and finally asked the younger sister.
The Jurchen paid a hundred coins. Dong Fuyu took the little sister's hand and said, "Little sister, this uncle will take you to eat good food. You can go with him."
The little sister blinked her big eyes, looked at the Jurchen, and said childishly: "Brother and sister are going to eat something good together."
Dong Fuyu couldn't stop his tears from flowing down, and choked with sobs: "You go first, we will go later."
The younger sister said in confusion: "Brother, why are you crying?"
Dong Fuyu wiped his tears and choked with sobs: "Brother is happy to have something to eat. Go quickly." Seeing the Jurchen taking the younger sister away, Dong Fuyu burst into tears. The older sister looked at him.
Cry, and cry with me.
The brother and sister cried for a while. Dong Fuyu took his eldest sister to eat wontons at a street stall. After eating a few mouthfuls, several beggars who usually bullied them came over. One of them asked: "Little bastard, what are you doing?"
Where did you get the money to come here and eat wontons?"
Dong Fuyu was very smart and did not dare to say that he got a hundred pennies from selling the girl. He lied about getting a few pennies.
The beggar slapped him and cursed: "You little bastard, you dare to lie to me. I saw it just now. You sold your sister and got a bunch of money. Hand over all the money."
Dong Fuyu covered the money in his arms and shouted: "If you don't give it, why should I give it to you?"
The beggar sneered and said: "Why? Just because my arms are thicker than yours and my strength is stronger than yours." Then he reached out to grab Dong Fuyu's money.
Dong Fuyu protected the money in his arms with all his life, but he was still a child and was too weak to protect it. He was about to take the money away. At this moment, Baiyun layman Chen Zhenshi passed by and hit him.
After running away those beggars, seeing that the Dong brothers and sisters were pitiful, they took them back to Wudang Mountain.
