Chapter 212 Closing the Net
Rao Mingyue quietly slipped out of Yuzhu Hutong and came to the main street of Changpingfang.
As a performer who has recently become famous, many people have seen Rao Mingyue.
For this reason, before taking to the streets, Rao Mingyue specially changed her appearance to ensure that no one could recognize her.
As soon as she entered the street, Rao Mingyue noticed something strange in the atmosphere.
There are many members of the Sihai Gang who openly interrogate passers-by, especially middle-aged and elderly men, and they do so in great detail.
Rao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the outside and walked out of the shop pretending to be fine.
"For what?"
"Go out and buy something."
"Take off your hat and take a look."
Rao Mingyue took off his hat honestly.
The gang member took a look and found that he was a handsome young man who did not match the middle-aged man in the portrait at all, so he waved his hand.
"let's go."
"Thank you, sir!" Rao Mingyue shouted respectfully, then quickened his pace and hurriedly left the street.
After leaving Changpingfang, Rao Mingyue quickly called a donkey cart.
"Go to Dongshi!"
In addition to more than a hundred small and large markets, Yandu City also has two separate markets, one on the east and west sides of the city, so it is also called the East and West Cities.
There are many shops inside, selling everything. Key personnel come and go frequently, making it difficult for others to notice.
The medicines I bought for Moxu before were bought from Dongshi.
The coachman agreed and then headed for Dongshi.
From Changpingfang to Dongshi, we have to pass through four or five squares. When we arrived in front of Dongshi, the sun was just rising, and it was a busy time.
Rao Mingyue paid the fare, asked the driver to wait for her here, and then entered the East Market.
Rao Mingyue first went to a drugstore she was familiar with and handed the clerk a list.
The list was written by Moxu. Most of it were commonly used medicines, but only a few were what Moxu needed urgently.
This is also to deceive others.
After all, Mo Xu couldn't guarantee whether these drug stores had any connections with the Sihai Gang. If they did, their whereabouts would be easily exposed through the medicines they purchased.
However, nothing happened as expected. Rao Mingyue successfully bought the medicines he needed, and then returned to the car happily.
"Let's go back to Changpingfang!"
"Okay, sit tight."
Although it looked like a donkey cart, the speed was not slow at all, and we soon arrived in front of Changpingfang Gate.
But Rao Mingyue didn't notice that when the donkey cart stopped, the driver winked at several Sihai gang members in front of the door.
These gang members understood the situation, and someone immediately went back to report the news. At the same time, several gang members dressed as pedestrians appeared quietly around the donkey cart, surrounding it.
Rao Mingyue was completely unaware of this.
He got off the donkey cart with great joy, paid the fare, and even gave a little extra as a tip, and then walked towards Changpingfang.
These gangsters pretending to be pedestrians followed immediately, staying far behind.
At the same time, in a teahouse not far from the square gate, a young man was looking out of the window, and his eyes soon locked on Rao Mingyue.
"Have you been identified?"
"Back to the hall master, we have found out that this person's name is Rao Mingyue, he is a performer in Yuzhu Hutong, his stage name is Xiaoyue, he belongs to the Sixi Opera Troupe."
"Performers?" The man frowned, "Have you never checked these people before?"
"This... I just did a quick check at the time and didn't go in-depth. After all, most of the guests who go to Yuzhu Hutong are dignitaries, so we don't dare to disturb them too much."
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, "They are all a bunch of trash. If I hadn't asked you to start all the cart drivers around you this time to see if anyone sneaked out to buy suspicious items, I guess you still wouldn't have been able to find this.
Where is Rao Mingyue?"
"Yes, the hall master is wise!"
The man waved his hand to stop his subordinates from continuing to flatter him, then stared at Rao Mingyue's back and said softly.
"Since when have actors become so kind and righteous? How dare you take such a big risk to harbor criminals? Is there someone behind the scenes?"
"This...it's not clear yet."
"Don't alert him first, secretly send someone to follow him back, and then surround his residence. You must not let that kid escape this time, otherwise my aunt will not let you go."
"yes!"
These people's hearts trembled, and they all bowed their heads in response.
This man is Sheng Lianhua's nephew, Bai Zonglin.
Even though Sheng Lianhua was the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang and the leader of Yan Zhihai, she had no heirs, so she regarded Bai Zonglin as her biological son and responded to his every request.
This Bai Zonglin is quite impressive. After joining the Sihai Gang, he was quickly promoted to the leader of the hall. He is also alert and quite strategic. The key is that he has good talent in martial arts. Now he is a Four Realm warrior, with only a few skills left.
It’s time to enter the Half-Step Five Realm.
For this reason, Sheng Lianhua did not hesitate to go to war to capture Mo Xu even if he gave up the benefits. The purpose was to use this matter to gain access to the Huawai Sect and allow Bai Zonglin to join it.
Now that everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind. Bai Zonglin also went downstairs and headed to Yuzhu Hutong.
Imperial Majesty Bai Zonglin did have some skills. Although he ordered his subordinates to gather in Yuzhu Hutong, nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the surface.
Only a few caring people can detect any clues.
For example, Zhao Ya.
At this time, he was standing on the roof of a brothel.
The location here is excellent, overlooking most of Changpingfang, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get up.
When he saw a salesman walking into Yuzhu Hutong, Zhao Ya already guessed it.
After all, this is already the tenth peddler who has entered Yuzhu Hutong in just ten minutes.
In addition, there are seven vegetable sellers, three candied haws sellers and a fortune teller under the guise of a fortune teller.
Zhao Ya chuckled lightly, "You really have no imagination!"
After all, it's clear daylight, the theaters are closed, and most of the people living in the alleys are sleeping. How could anyone come out to buy things?
Each of these small business people is better than the last, and they naturally know this, so they will never go to Yuzhu Hutong for most of the day.
It is obvious that these sellers of goods, vegetables, candied haws, and candied haws are all disguised.
Their purpose is self-evident, they should all be heading towards Mo Qi.
Zhao Ya also didn't expect that Mo Qi was still hiding in Yuzhu Hutong.
Don't say that the most dangerous is the safest. You must know that Yuzhu Hutong is only one street in total. It is easy to be caught in a trap by hiding in it.
So the safest way is to run as far away as possible.
It is estimated that Mo Qi was seriously injured and had to take risks and hide nearby.
Just as Zhao Ya was thinking, he saw Rao Mingyue appearing at the entrance of the alley carrying a package.
I saw him looking around furtively, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, I hurriedly walked deeper into the alley.
These tricks may fool ordinary people, but for experts, they are no different than hanging the words "I have a ghost in my heart" on their foreheads.
Zhao Ya secretly laughed in his heart, but still did not move because he knew that someone would come soon.
as expected.
Not long after Rao Mingyue disappeared at the entrance of the alley, a group of people appeared on the street.
The leader was none other than Bai Zonglin.
He glanced at the alley in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You block the entrance to the alley and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"yes!"
"The rest of you are coming with me!"
Bai Zonglin took the lead and led a group of people towards the alley.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya, who was on the rooftop in the distance, also changed his clothes.
He had already made preparations before he came. In order to hide his appearance, the clothes were specially modified, and his figure changed a lot after wearing them.
