Chapter 226 Who is the mantis and who is the cicada(1/2)
Midnight.
The whistleblowers finally dispersed.
Fan Xiaodao patted the two clerks, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go back first."
"Sir, don't you leave?"
“Let’s wait a moment.”
Fan Xiaodao sent the two of them away, closed the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, returned to the yard, and said aloud, "Come out."
A figure flashed from the roof and came to Fan Xiaodao. It was Gu Dachun, the leader of the Tianma Gang who had met in Qixia Mountain.
Gu Dachun clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Fan, we're meeting again."
Fan Xiaodao said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Gu Dachun said, "Now the streets are full of notices of chasing me. People are sitting in the mountains and the pot comes from the sky. If I don't, I will be unable to explain the case."
Fan Xiaodao said, "If it weren't for Lao Luo's reminder, I wouldn't know you would come in person."
"You know me?"
"Gu Dachun, a native of Yangzhou, entered Jinling Six Gate in the sixth year of Tianxi. He started as a clerk and was promoted to the head of the red-clothed prisoner in the thirteenth year of his career. Later, because of the case of the Duan family in the Dajiang Gang, he was forced to be dismissed and became a bandit.
”
Gu Dachun smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that I had only been to Jinling City for three or four days and knew so many things. I didn't kill people."
"I know."
"Then are still wanted in the city?"
Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "If you don't put the suspicion on you, how could those people relax their vigilance? Anyway, you have taken the blame again and again, so it doesn't matter if you slap one more. Who made the move?"
Gu Dachun said, "The professional killer of Hongxingtang is called Yuchang. He ranks third in the world killer list and accepted the instructions of the Cao Gang."
"How do you know?"
Gu Dachun said, "After all, I have been in Jinling for more than ten years. There are also my people in the Cao Gang and Dajiang Gang. I have been planning for so many years, but I didn't expect that in the end I failed."
Fan Xiaodao suddenly realized that no wonder they were able to rob the Cao Gang's goods. It turned out that there were six door-like eyeliners inside to provide him with information.
After the accident happened today, Lao Luo took the initiative to help Gu Dachun ask him, and he deliberately released the news, so that he could bring Gu Dachun over to talk.
The Jinling officialdom and the world are too complicated and have no local power. It is not easy to deal with Tan Shifei and others.
Gu Dachun said, "I originally thought that you were new to Jiangnan, just like those who were officials in the past, and you would have made a fortune and left. If it weren't for Lao Luo's strong recommendation, I wouldn't have come tonight."
Fan Xiaodao said, "After the accident, Lao Luo turned against you and confessed that he was your idea?"
Gu Dachun said, "I won't fight unprepared battles. Do you really want to deal with Tan Shifei?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "It's him who wants to deal with me, and I don't like being targeted. What's more, Tan is just a pawn, his real opponent, and he is still hidden behind the scenes."
Gu Dachun smiled, "I'm not scared."
Fan Xiaodao also smiled and said, "I'm not very brave, and I'm very afraid of death. Someone wants to deal with me. I can't stand there and wait for the killing, right? Today I'm leading you out to make a deal with you.
.”
Gu Dachun said, "Trade."
Fan Xiaodao was stunned, "What is it if you don't ask?"
Gu Dachun said, "I will help you find out whereabouts of the fish intestines. You will deal with Cao Bang and Tan. Our goal is the same."
"Doing smart people is easy to deal with. But you also said that Yuyan ranks third in the killer list, can you catch him?"
Gu Dachun said proudly, "When I left the Six Gate, I brought out more than 20 brothers, all of whom were first-class constables. My ability in Jiangnan was far beyond your imagination. Now the people left in your Six Gate are just
Some incompetent people who are tempted by the flames."
"But, can there be a way to deal with the Cao Gang?"
Gu Dachun said, "A long time ago, there were many martial arts sects in Jiangnan. Although they were not prosperous, they could still be peaceful. Later, the Cao Gang and the Dajiang Gang rose and annexed many small sects. They committed crimes and were full of evil things. They were just the victims.
In danger, swallowing his anger, and those who resist a little will be persecuted. It is not difficult to find their crimes, but it is rare to hand over these evidences. You also know that the officialdom and the world are in harmony, and snakes and rats are in a nest, and they are rotten from the root.
It fell off."
"What goods did you snatch the Cao Gang?"
Gu Dachun said, "It is a batch of silk and medicinal materials, which are said to be tributes sent to the capital. The people from the Cao Gang seem to be very nervous about this batch of goods and have sent people to block us for several days."
"Medicinal materials?"
Gu Dachun said, "I heard that it was used to refine elixirs for the emperor. That dog emperor, as a big official, is not good at learning, but he just wants to learn to refine his mother's Great Eternal Life Pill. He might as well add medicine to it and poison him to death.
Now.”
Fan Xiaodao thought to himself that the dog emperor he mentioned was most likely his own advantage, but he had no feelings for him, so he scolded him.
However, Taiping Taoist Temple refines elixirs for the emperor and collects various medicinal materials from all over the world. If this batch of goods is really transported to the palace, it should be the official Cao Cao. Why choose a private gang like Cao Gang?
There is something strange about it.
Could it be the shameful deals under Princess Taiping?
Fan Xiaodao said, "I understand. You go back first. I will invite troops from the prefect to the mountains to suppress bandits."
Gu Dachun said in surprise, "What?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Of course, I can't help but give you another pot."
...
After leaving Chenghuang Temple, Zhao Xing did not rush back to the inn, but instead wandered on the street. In his spare time, he also ate a bowl of noodles at a night stall on the side of the road.
After eating the noodles, he stretched and caught a glimpse of the pick-up peddler drinking tea at the tea stall opposite him. Seeing Zhao Xing's gaze, the pick-up peddler turned his gaze to other places.
Zhao Xing paid the money, stretched his waist and stood up and left. He hummed a small song and specially walked in the remote alley with few people.
He was extremely scared.
Whenever he arrived at the intersection, he would deliberately stay for a while, for fear that the other party would lose him or not dare to take action. Finally, he found a dead end and walked in without thinking.
Seeing this, the picker followed in.
Zhao Xing suddenly turned around and met the peddler, which scared the peddler, "Friend, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xingdao, "Aren't you going to rob?"
The picker said, "Which eye did you see that I was going to rob?"
"If you don't rob, you followed me all the way from Chenghuang Temple. Why? Look at it, the environment here is beautiful and very remote. It is the Feng Shui treasure land for robbery. I have helped you choose a good place."
The picker said, "My family lives here, just by the way."
Zhao Xing turned sideways and moved away, "Then you go first!"
The picker said something inexplicably, walked forward a few steps, encountered a dead end, and retreated. Zhao Xing asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"I've taken the wrong path."
Zhao Xingdao, "Give you another chance to reorganize your language."
The peddler said, "Tell me ten times, I've taken the wrong path." When he passed by, the peddler pulled out a soft sword from the shoulder pole on his shoulder and stabbed it.
when!
Zhao Xing clamped the soft sword with his fingers, and the sword body was bent like a bow, but he could not make any progress.
The picker said angrily, "Die!"
Seeing Zhao Xing dragging him so hard, he suddenly activated his true energy, retreated back and sent forward, trying to take the opportunity to get rid of it.
Dang!
The long sword broke inch by inch.
Zhao Xing caught a piece of broken sword and pressed it against his throat.
The picker looked as if he was ashamed. Unexpectedly, this seemingly weak young man had such a strong martial arts skills! He said, "Who are you?"
Zhao Xingdao, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are?"
The picker said, "I am a hero of the Tianma Gang. If you know each other, it's better to let me go. Otherwise, when our gang leader and brothers come, we will teach you to pieces."
Zhao Xingdao, "Gasum Ma Gang?"
"Why, are you scared?"
Zhao Xingdao, "I'm a little scared, but I'm not very scared!" He threw the broken sword on the ground and said coldly, "I won't kill you today. I'll give you a message to you who is in charge of the business. I know you've done dirty things."
, I live in Tianxiang Inn. If you want to kill me, send some powerful masters. Don’t get some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. I’m too lazy to take action.”
After saying that, he left with a swagger.
...
Fan Xiaodao returned to the six doors. Lao Luo was already waiting at the door. When he saw him coming, "Have you talked to Dachun?"
Fan Xiaodao nodded, "How about you?"
