Chapter 16 Before leaving
More than ten days after the haunted house incident, Cixi slowly returned to peace. The dead were gone, and the living had to continue. However, Li Sanlang's fame became more and more loud. Li Ji was still living like usual, but under the calmness of the surface, he was intensifying preparations.
The State of Zhou and Nanli are not bordered by the State of Nanli, and there is a Xinzheng country. The straight-line distance is more than four or five thousand miles. If you ride a horse, it will be longer. The geographical city along the way has been expanded at Mr. Zhu's home. Li Ji is a careful person, but he will not go all the way and ask around. It's just now that summer is in May, and there are still four months left, but Li Ji dare not be careless. There are no planes or trains in this world, and there are only horses to travel far. There may be unpredictable accidents on the way, so he must end everything in Cixi as soon as possible.
The road strait has been prepared for a long time, and this is within his authority. More than a dozen blank road straits have been stamped with the seal of the two cities' magistrates...
As the saying goes, the poor family is rich, Li Ji's wealth is poor, and the money he earned over the past year was basically eaten and drunk by helping the idle gangsters. This is a way for him to settle down and make friends, and he cannot save it. The queen of the evil house killed the demon, and the big man Wang sealed a red envelope of twenty taels of silver, which would not be able to help any major issues. If it weren't for the 100 taels of gold given by a Taoist, he would probably not even have enough money to go to Shenfang City... But he had other plans in terms of money, so he was not worried.
After traveling to Cixi for a year, Li Ji has no real friend. Guo's head of the escort may be one, but Lao Guo went on a long escort a few days ago, and probably won't be able to come back in one or two months. The rest are the same, such as Grandma Wang next door, Uncle Huang who chops wood, Tailor Zhao and other old neighbors. In the past few days, Li Ji sent out all the things that were not available in the house, which can be considered as repaying the help of his neighbors... After leaving this time, the person who came back may be very small, and he did not mention this matter to anyone, and came quietly and went quietly...
On the seventh night of the fifth month, at the beginning of the middle of the year, most of the villagers in the town were asleep. Li Ji finished his work, a horse, a sword, a set of changing clothes, a pack of jerky food, and a pot of water. He led the horse out quietly, and before leaving, he had a big thing to do.
Hujia Casino, the only casino in Cixi, is a time of good business for the casino. There is some background in the casino, and behind it is a group of wealthy villagers led by Xiao Ziming, which is a real industry for a group of local snakes. In the words of the previous life, this is a licensed entertainment venue.
The shop owner called Yancai, nicknamed Laozhai, who was over 40 years old, smart and capable, and had a bad heart. Many tyrants in the town were destroyed by him. The reason why Li Ji came here was thanks to him. The original owner occasionally played money in the casino and was beaten to death by him. The last black brick was hit by the old jackal with his own hands.
At that time, Li Ji was a newcomer and didn't know the situation, but over the past six months, his reputation rose and countless thugs under his command came to invest, so there was nothing I didn't know. He basically didn't go to the casino area, not because he was afraid of this old jackal, but because he knew that there were too many local snakes standing behind him, and he had no intention of making small fuss, and he couldn't hurt him. Instead, he was wary of some things that needed to be completely solved when he left this time.
There is no entertainment in the countryside. People are used to sleeping early, and there is no one on the street. Li Ji is familiar with the road. He turns east and turns west. Soon, he arrives at a dilapidated alley at the west end of the town. At the end of the alley is the backyard of Hujia Casino. Although it is late at night, the casino is still brightly lit and the noise is noisy. Li Ji leads his horse to a secluded place and tied it up, searches for the backyard of the casino, and quietly goes in...
The route has been surveyed a long time ago. I jumped into the side door wall and bypassed the kitchen and corner doors. It was as dark as paint. There was no problem along the way. At this time, most of the guys and thugs in the casino were busy in the hall, and the separation was still early.
When I sneaked into the backyard, I saw only one wing room with lights faintly reflected. There were two thugs at the door of the wing room. One sat on the stone steps and the other was napping against the pillars, and the other was lazily patrolling back and forth. Li Ji nodded. It should be this place. The town is peaceful and there are few major cases. Even if there are bold people, they usually dare not come here to get on the head of Tai Sui, so they are very relaxed in their defense.
Li Ji hid behind a shadow of a vineyard, waiting for an opportunity. Soon, the patrol thug walked to the base of the wall and broke it apart. Not far from Li Ji's hiding place. Li Ji did not hesitate and touched it quietly, covering his mouth with his left hand, cutting his throat with his right hand, gently putting down the body, and walking to the dozing thug, soaking it like a method, without making any sound. Looking through the gauze window in the wing room, he was only calling Yan Cai, who was facing the boss with a pile of silver and money, and was planning calculations there.
The short dagger entered his arms, pulled out the heavy sword, and no longer used any exquisite methods. He kicked open the door and rushed in. He was a decisive person, and he was the most annoying to talk and be confused on the spot...
Hu Yancai was calculating monthly income and replenishing the components. Suddenly, a man kicked the door and rushed straight to his house with a sword. He was shocked and rushed out of his hand in an anxious manner. He was so angry that he threw the abacus out of his hand and shouted, "Yu Zi, why... "Before he finished speaking, a long sword had already penetrated his chest. He was vicious, but his own force was mediocre. How could he avoid the man-eating tiger in front of him...
He was stabbed in the chest, but he couldn't die for a moment. Hu Yancai's family knew his family affairs. When he saw Li Ji, how could he not know why he came? In order to save his life, he couldn't take too much care. He sneered and shouted, "You are spared, that matter was originally used by the boss of the Li family in Shuangcheng, but it didn't matter to me..." The heavy sword penetrated between his eyes. This time, the old jackal finally died... Li Ji had already guessed who the commander behind him was. From the intermittent memory of the original owner, he could always find a clue. It was just a matter of fighting for power and profit within the family. For Li Ji who had traveled through time, he really didn't want to involve it.
The big thing was over, and no one noticed what happened in the backyard for the time being. Turning around and looking at the money piled up on the Taiwan case, Li Ji couldn't help but smile. Of course, this was not a coincidence. He had already found out that on the seventh day of every month, Hujia Casino would take stock of the income and expenditure of the month, and on the eighth day of the day, he would share the profit market for the backend. Li Ji chose this day, one for the purpose of making enemies, and the other for ill-gotten wealth.
Although there was a lot of silver and copper horns on the Taiwan case, most of them were scattered silver and copper horns, which were inconvenient to carry. After all, it was just a small town casino. In the end, Li Ji took dozens of silver ingots of size and bagged cloth, which was estimated to be about 700 or 800 taels. There was no omission. So he went out of the backyard on the same road and took the horses. The town was silent and it was not easy to drive a horse and trot. He only controlled the horse and trotted in a row.
As soon as he left Zhenbei, he was about to speed up, but it was a coincidence that someone came out of the roadside, but who was not the official Xiao Ziming? He had just come out of the house of the Widow Sun, the best friend of Zhenbei, and had some wine. He was humming a small song and rushed home step by step. Unexpectedly, he was hitting Li Ji. Xiao Ziming was unstable and his eyes were still clear. Seeing Li Ji riding a horse, he didn't know that he was still pretending to be the official, "Du, Li Saner, why did he disturb the people late at night... Come over and see the master..."
Li Ji Dale, among the people who asked someone to deal with him in Cixi, Xiao Ziming is the number one. I am afraid that the old jackal had secretly attacked him, and there was also this guy who instigated him. He didn't want to do anything to him, but since Tian openly eyes and was insulted to make a safe plan for his journey, he couldn't let him go, "Since God summoned you, I'll send you a ride." While speaking, he carried a horse with a sword, rolled over like the wind, leaving only Xiao Ziming behind him slowly, and a ruler was marked in his throat and a long blood arrow...
