Chapter 014
Yuchi Ming pointed to an alley outside Zhangshanfang, "Did you see that? That person followed us all the way, and he is still guarding the gate!"
Yan Wei looked out on the wooden sticks laid on the wall, and sure enough, he saw someone staring at the gate of Zhang Shanfang at the alley diagonally opposite.
Zhang Buer said: "That man looks sneaky and doesn't look like a good person!"
Yan Wei said: "Is it for us to try it out? Buer, you can walk around the gate before coming back. Remember not to look back, don't go to remote places."
"Okay!" Zhang Buer responded and trotted out of the gate. The man in the alley really followed.
Yuchi Ming beat the wall and said, "It turns out that he is staring at us. Where is he from! What is his purpose!"
"I really can't think of anyone except Feng Lailou. The purpose is to..."
"What are the two young men doing here!"
A sudden shout came from behind him, and the two of them, who were already nervous, slid and fell to the ground. Yan Wei didn't care about getting up and looking at the person behind him. He saw that it was a young and strong man, "Oh, it turned out to be Li Qiao!"
Li Qiao is a gangster from Zhangshanfang. Yan Wei was impressed by him. This man had a very tight hand. That time, he "exorcist" was thanks to him that "exorcist" that he opened Yan Wei's mouth.
Yuchi Ming got up and patted the dust on his body and said, "How come you walk silently, sneaky!"
Li Qiao rolled his eyes, as if he was saying that it was clearly the two of you who were lying on the wall and sneakily. He did not answer Yuchi Ming's words, but only said to Yan Wei: "Young Master Yan should be careful to take care of the property in the family!"
After he said that, he turned around and left. Yuchi Ming hooked Li Qiao's collar, "What do you mean, let me know!"
Li Qiao held Yuchi Ming's arm back, "I have already said it very clearly. If I don't let go, I will do it!"
"You're looking for the right person when you fight me!"
Yuchi Ming made a move to fight, but Zhang Buer rushed over with a shout, "Why did Mr. Yuchi fight with Brother Qiao!"
"This kid and the people outside want to steal our money!"
"I didn't! You swear!"
Zhang Buer waved his hands repeatedly, "It's impossible, Brother Qiao is his own. Brother Qiao reminded me when I went out just now!"
Yan Wei stepped forward and pulled the two of them away and said to Li Qiao: "Do you know something? If you have time, can you tell me at home?"
Yan Wei invited Li Qiao to his home, and Zhang Buer poured him a bowl of wine, "Brother Qiao, just say whatever you know, Alang is worthy of treating you badly!"
Li Qiao pondered for a moment and said, "The villain is on duty at the fangmen today. When Buer drove out of the fangmen, a person was quietly following him. When I was patrolling the fangmen, I saw someone staying outside the wall of Gongzi's courtyard in the afternoon, which was very suspicious."
Yan Wei asked, "Who is that person?"
Li Qiao shook her head and replied, "The villain doesn't know!"
Yuchi Ming scolded: "How come you don't know! Since the other party is suspicious, don't you interrogate? Besides, when someone enters the shop, he should have checked the registered account!"
Li Qiao said: "The villain really doesn't know, just because the man was brought in by another gang Song Fuliang. When the villain stepped forward to interrogate, Song Fuliang said that he was his relative and wanted to do business in the south city to rent a house nearby for his family. The villain didn't take it seriously. When he went back to check the registration list, he found that no such person felt that there was a ghost."
Yuchi Ming slapped the table and said, "There must be a ghost. It seems that someone has already set his sights on us. Brother Yan's road back to Guanzhong is probably difficult to walk."
Li Qiao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Yan can't even get out of Luoyang. He was robbed of money and killed his life in the yard in the middle of the night."
Yan Wei bowed and said, "Impossible!"
With Luoyang's market and curfew system, it is like throwing himself into the trap after committing crimes in the middle of the night. If you rob money, you will be unable to escape.
Li Qiao smiled and said, "Honor Yan has forgotten the case in Yongjiafang last year. He also killed people and robbed money in the shop, but it has not been solved yet!"
Last winter, a wealthy businessman from other places rented a yard in Yongjiafang, but he died of money after living there for less than a month. He was found out after two days of death. He disappeared with the wealthy goods. He also had two shopkeepers on duty that night.
The Luoyang Order investigated the case for several months but failed to solve the case. He could only conclude that it was a case made by the on-duty Fangding collusion with the bandits. In the end, he only cleaned up some Fangding who had unknown origins and misbehaviors in each house to eliminate hidden dangers.
Li Qiao said: "Song Fuliang is alone and has a history of stealing. The last time he wrote a copy of theft, he was only pursuing Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng was soft-hearted and gave him a bite of food."
Yan Wei looked at Li Qiao with a scrutiny, "Song Fuliang is suspicious, but why should I believe you?"
Li Qiao was stunned and said in a calm tone: "Although I, Li Qiao, is not a big family member, I am a serious soldier. I came to the city to be a resident because my family's land was occupied by the powerful and had no way to survive. The family was outside Luoyang City. I would never dare to violate the court's laws, let alone be an ungrateful person!"
Zhang Buer said: "Alang, you forgot that the one who taught you riding and shooting skills in the past was Li Qiao's grandfather. Li Qiao was the old master who came to the court to do things when he was alive. Li Qiao's character is absolutely credible!"
"Is that so? There's still this matter!" Yan Wei scratched his scalp and apologized to Li Qiao in embarrassment: "You also know that I was caught in a bad situation a while ago, and I don't remember many things. I just said it was just now that Brother Li should not blame him."
Li Qiao bowed and replied, "I dare not. The villain just thought it was the kindness that Master Yan had guaranteed that he had done. If there was no other thing, the villain would go back to the gate to watch."
Yan Wei stood up and held him down, "I remember now that my father often said that when he was alive, Brother Li wanted to invite his family to do things, but his salary was small at that time and could not support too many people. Now that I have money in business, can Brother Li come to my house if he doesn't dislike it?"
He was born as a soldier, has a reliable character, and has some connection with the Yan family. If Yan Wei does not stay by his side as an accomplice, he will be in a brain.
Zhang Buer kicked Li Qiao, "Isn't it as good as you, as you are the boss and guards, and you are the ones who work hard every month. It's only two or three hundred cents, which is enough for the whole family to eat?"
Li Qiao came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed: "The villain has seen the husband!"
"Haha..." Yan Wei smiled and helped Li Qiao up, "I will be my own family in the future. There is no need to be so polite. Are you willing to go to Guanzhong with me?"
Li Qiao replied: "The villain has lost his land, as long as he takes his family to the smallest place, it will be the same!"
Zhang Buer said: "Alang, let me ask Li Qiao, how much household income can I give him in a year?"
Yan Wei stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred coins a year!"
Li Qiao's eyes turned red when she heard this, and her head was thumping on the ground, "My husband is so kind, the villain is willing to go through fire and water!"
"Get up! Get up! I don't go to battle to kill the enemy and I won't launch a rebellion, so why do you need to go through fire and water?"
Yuchi Ming said: "Who said no, you will have something to do now."
Yan Wei said: "If you can't report the case in the yamen, if you can solve the case in Yongjiafang together, the Luoyang Order will send someone to protect me."
Li Qiao said, "The villain thought that this group of people had nothing to do with the case in Yongjiafang. They would be exposed by negligence in doing things. It can be seen that they are not experts. It is better not to report to the officials. First, they dare to commit crimes in the office, probably because they have some support. Second, if the yamen is doing good deeds, it will become a hidden danger. It is better for us to organize people to catch the individual stolen goods and hand them over to the yamen!"
Yan Wei nodded repeatedly and felt that this person was worth it. "Although I don't know how many people they have, it's probably not enough for us to have only four of us."
Li Qiao said: "Your husband, don't worry. The villain and a few lost robes are all working in the city, and they are all good at finding them tomorrow!"
"Don't wait for tomorrow, so that people can't do anything tonight. I'll tell you that I won't treat them badly."
Li Qiao said: "Don't worry, my husband, they won't do anything today and tomorrow. It's Song Fuliang's turn to be on duty at night."
