Chapter 394 Taicang and Secret Talk
Thinking of this, Li Yi decided to go to Taicang to explore the bottom the next day.
As soon as she heard that Li Yi was going to Taicang to look for evidence, Zhuang Rou's eyes immediately lit up and she hurriedly said: "Li Yi, I'm going too."
Looking at this "thief-hearted" girl, Li Yi had no choice but to pretend to be angry and said: "Why are you going, do you still want to cause trouble?"
"If you don't take me there, I'll go by myself. Anyway, the legs are on me, so you can't control them." Zhuang Rou raised her head and said with an unconvinced face.
Li Yi is going to be annoyed to death by this girl. It would be terrible if Zhuang Rou really went to scare the snake by herself without taking her.
Sun Ce stood beside him and said with a smile: "Zizheng, just take her with you. Zhuang Rou's kung fu is very good, especially the light kung fu. I'm dazzled by it today."
Zhuang Rou heard Sun Cer say please for her, glanced at Li Yi and said: "It's better to be humble and gentle, unlike you, who is afraid of coming and going."
Well, now it's my fault.
The two men sang and harmonized, but Li Yi had no choice.
He was really not sure whether this girl would act rashly if he didn't take Zhuang Rou with him.
Thinking of this, he said fiercely: "Then it's agreed, then listen to me and don't get into trouble. If you alert the snake, your master and senior sister may not be able to reverse the case."
For Zhuang Rou, there is nothing more important than rescuing her master, senior sister and others. She nodded immediately, having never been so obedient.
Early the next morning, Li Yi took Zhuang Rou to the Taicang Bank.
Of course, the two of them must not just walk in arrogantly. At this time, some means are needed.
Li Yi took Zhuang Rou into an inn, threw a dime of silver up and said: "Get a guest room."
The shopkeeper grabbed the silver, squeezed it, and said with a smile: "Okay, there are still first-class rooms upstairs. I will take the guest officer up here."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "This young master came to Beijing to take the exam. I heard that it is a good sign to live in a high school. Please clean the highest room in the inn."
The higher you live, the easier it is to go to high school? This is the first time the shopkeeper has heard someone say this. But if you have money, who can care about the guests?
He then smiled and said: "My guest is originally a scholar rushing to take the exam, which is quite common these days. But the highest place is the attic. Not only is it inaccessible, but there is also some air leakage. Which room are you sure you want to live in?"
Li Yi immediately shouted: "The attic is the attic. Master, I can live in whichever room I like. Quickly lead the way."
Seeing that the guest officer had a bad temper, the shopkeeper didn't hesitate and just took the key and led Li Yi to the attic.
Zhuang Rou followed, but her cheeks were slightly red.
Who would bring a woman to an inn to book a room?
The shopkeeper thought Zhuang Rou was a maid, so he secretly exclaimed that this scholar was quite charming, and he didn't forget to take his maid with him when he went out.
After looking at the room, the shopkeeper didn't stay long and left directly.
As soon as he left, Li Yi turned around and closed the door.
This move startled Zhuang Rou. She jumped to the side like a rabbit, covered her chest with her hands, and shouted: "Li Yi, what do you want to do?"
Li Yi pretended to look over his shoulder and looked at Zhuang Rou, who was waiting for him, and sneered: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your skinny figure."
These words were so vulgar that Zhuang Rou shivered angrily.
Walking to the window, Li Yi reached out and opened the only window, stretched out his head and took a look.
Zhuang Rou was still sulking, but Li Yi turned around and said with a smile: "You insist on coming, but you can't bear the grievance? This is to temper your temper. Don't play with it all day long."
"Don't be complacent. When I rescue Senior Sister, you must tell Senior Sister these things." Zhuang Rou couldn't teach her such a good lesson, she just pouted and said unconvinced.
Li Yi didn't care, and came over and said: "Since you are here, you have to do something. Go and draw the map."
"We haven't entered yet, where did you get the map?" Zhuang Rou looked at Li Yi as if he were a fool.
Li Yi could only smile bitterly at this vengeful girl, pointed out the window and said, "See for yourself."
Zhuang Rou snorted coldly and stretched out her head to check.
I can see the general situation of the warehouse from the attic. If I observe it carefully, I can make a rough map.
It turns out that Li Yi brought me here to draw a map.
Zhuang Rou's face turned red and hot when she thought of how scared she was covering her chest with her hands just now.
At the same time, in a long-abandoned mansion in the west of the city.
Although it was a sunny day, the place was dark and gloomy. Even though the oil lamp flickered, only vague figures could be seen.
Blurred shadows were reflected on the wall, low voices of discussion were heard, and there was no sound at all underground. There were only the black shadows gathered together one by one, and the low tones. All other movements were redundant and not allowed.
of.
A man wearing a short shirt walked in. He pulled back the cobwebs on his head, revealing an ordinary face. Even if you look carefully, he is just an ordinary hardworking man. But at this time, as he came in, the room was full of people.
The discussion fell silent for an instant.
The man walked in with a sullen face, glanced at the people in the room, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the man in the middle wearing a brocade uniform and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhang, we have done what you asked us to do. But when will you give us the person we want?"
He opened his mouth to speak, and the black figures who had just been whispering all closed their mouths. It was obvious that this man felt authoritative.
Zhang Quan wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the burly and fierce-looking men next to him with some horror. He said with a stiff expression: "Come on, come on. As long as the trial in Dali Temple is completed, the criminal will be handed over to you."
only……"
The lights flickered on and off, erratically, but the leader's eyes were unusually bright.
"Just what?" the man said solemnly.
Zhang Quan smiled carefully and said: "It's just that the activities require a lot of money. This money..."
As he spoke softly, he looked at the man's expression and found that he was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The man said expressionlessly: "Gold and silver are not a problem, we only want the man you caught."
On the side of the long table, the man finally made a new move. He threw the heavy sack and it fell on the seat, causing a heavy impact.
Zhang Quan walked forward carefully and opened the old sack. He saw that there were pure gold ingots inside, some large and some small, and of different styles.
The gold here was probably worth nearly ten thousand taels of silver. Zhang Quan couldn't help but lick his mouth when he thought of such a large sum of silver in front of him.
But soon his enthusiasm dissipated a lot, because after returning the money, he had to hand it over to his superior.
After traveling back and forth for so long and taking so many risks, I guess you won’t treat me badly.
Comforting himself, Zhang Quan quickly put away the gold, with a smile on his face.
"Brother Ji, don't worry. With this money, we can open up relationships. When the time comes, no one will notice." After taking the money, Zhang Quan felt relieved and said with a smile.
The man named Ji didn't comment after hearing this, and just looked at Zhang Quan silently.
The cold eyes pierced Zhang Quan and he timidly turned away. He turned his pockmarked face to the side and whispered: "Young one is just a messenger. Brother Ji, please don't embarrass me."
After hearing this, the man surnamed Ji finally said: "You said before that as long as a group of people from the Momen are framed, they will be handed over to us immediately. But six days later, you took the people to Dali Temple. This
I need an explanation as to why."
The man named Ji spoke slowly, but the overwhelming oppression was shocking.
The dim light of the oil lamp swayed and scattered, illuminating the figure of the man named Ji. The hands clasped on his chest were clenched into fists, and his whole person was filled with a sense of danger.
When he first arrived, he was wearing a blue blouse and had an ordinary appearance, resembling a worker carrying goods on the dock. But at this time, his huge fists and cold eyes were expressing his anger to Zhang Quan.
, and this anger cannot be explained, so it can only be calmed down with blood.
"This...this..." Zhang Quan felt threatened by the man surnamed Ji, and he said in panic: "This, I really don't know. I am just a middleman who passes the news, and all the plans for the case are based on the instructions of the people above.
