Chapter 120: Rivers and Lakes, Monthly Pass)
"Then let's go!"
Ding Siwu said happily.
Yi Sansi didn't say much and took him back to the county town.
We went straight to a market in Xicheng.
The crowds of people here are mixed and chaotic, which is very different from the orderliness in the rest of the city.
B, San and Si came to a remote shop.
There was a stable outside the store, with several donkeys and horses tied up inside, and even a few people in tattered clothes and dirty faces were tied up inside, like animals.
It was not that no one passed by on the road saw it, but everyone turned a blind eye to it, as if it had been a common sight for a long time.
Ding Siwu frowned.
But B, San and Si didn't look sideways and walked straight into the store.
There were several tables and chairs scattered around the store, with only an old man leaning on the counter.
When he saw the two people coming in, he just raised his eyelids and ignored them.
Yi, San and Si were not upset, and went straight to the counter, took out a piece of silver, put it on the table, and said, "My eyes are blurred."
Ding Siwu felt baffled.
The old man didn't even look at it, and said feebly: "If your eyes are blurred, go to the doctor to prescribe medicine. Why are you here?"
B, 34, said nothing, and put another ingot of silver.
They followed Jiang Zhou to handle cases these days and made a lot of money.
The sword holders had no salary or bounty. Of course, it was not given to them by Su Jingsi, but by Jiang Zhou privately.
I saw the old man put his hand on the table, and the money was hidden away by him.
Then he slowly raised his eyelids and said, "Which eye?"
Yi Sansi said something that made Ding Siwu confused and completely incomprehensible.
The old man nodded: "Wait."
Then he opened the curtain behind him and walked in.
Ding Siwu couldn't hold himself back and said, "What's going on?"
Yi Sansi said: "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's talk later."
Ding Siwu had no choice but to endure it.
After about half an hour, the old man reappeared.
He took a piece of paper, put it on the stage, pushed it over, and said slowly: "I won't send it if I take my time."
Yi Sansi took the note, glanced at it, then turned around and left with Ding Siwu.
Before leaving, I took away two horses from the store. Of course, they were just for rent.
"What's going on? Can we talk now?"
After leaving the city again, Ding Siwu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Yi Sansi said: "That place just now was actually a dental shop."
"Yaxing?" Ding Siwu was a little doubtful. How could there be such a dental system?
Yi Sansi smiled and said: "It's just a tooth shop, but they sell a lot of things. They not only sell 'goods', but they also do things for people."
"What I said just now were all slang in the world. When I said my eyes were blurry, I meant I was looking for someone. When he asked me which eyes I was looking for, I meant who I was looking for. The rest of what I said was a set of code words they used. The origin of the name Diao Laoshi, if you don’t know these things, they won’t do your business.”
Yi Sansi said: "It's enough for you to know this."
Ding Siwu clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Tsk, a dental shop with so many customers, isn't this driving away customers? Do they still want to do business?"
"If they work hard rather than raw, their business will never see the light of day."
Yisansi explained and said nothing more.
Ding Siwu asked in confusion: "Then how do you know they can find Diao Honest?"
Yi Sansi smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, it's not surprising at all."
"There are hundreds of industries in this world. Tell me, which one is most inseparable for people when they go out? Isn't it cars, boats, shops, and feet?"
"That Diao Laoshi took a bunch of rocks, defrauded people of so much money, and emptied his house. He couldn't possibly carry all that stuff on his own and hit the road, right?"
"Even if he really has this ability, does he really dare not to take the post road official road and go into the deep mountains and old forests? Isn't he afraid of being eaten by wild beasts and monsters until his bones are left?"
"As long as he doesn't have the ability to fly in the clouds, he will have to do things like cars, boats and shops."
Yi Sansi paused for a moment and then said: "I have said that snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. No one is more familiar with these things than those old teeth. As long as he has touched these things, he will never escape from those old teeth.
eyes and ears.”
"Oh, I didn't expect that, Yi Sansi, do you still have this ability?"
Ding Siwu was amazed when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "It's just that you don't show your ability to us. Why have you never told the adults?"
"If adults know about it, they will definitely use you again."
Yi Sansi smiled and said: "What kind of skills do I have? They are just some dirty tricks in the world and cannot be put on the stage."
"What kind of person is your Excellency? He is a person who can make those high-ranking literati bow down, and can talk and laugh with generals and great scholars. Now he is just a dragon trapped in the shallows, just a patrolling demon guard. When the time comes, he will definitely be trapped.
How can the man who ascends to the sky use these dirty things from the world to defile his ears and eyes?"
As he spoke, he showed a warning with his eyes: "I'm telling you, you must remember in the future that adults are kind to us. There are some things that even hearing about them will dirty your ears and eyes."
"In our line of work, we must use some means. If we want to relieve the Lord of your worries, I'm afraid there will be more embarrassing things in the future. But we can just do it ourselves, but we must not dirty the Lord's ears, eyes and hands. Listen,
Do you understand?"
Ding Siwu nodded repeatedly and sighed: "Tsk, now I understand why you always praise you for being both rough and fine. The rest of us are indeed not as good as you. You are right, I have written it down."
"What now? The old man found Diao Laoshi in such a short time?"
Yi Sansi glanced at the note, nodded and said, "Sure enough, Diao hired a car. Someone saw him in the Nanshan Ferry area."
Ding Siwu said happily: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry back and report to the Lord!"
"No, how many cases do you have to deal with every day? Now we just know his whereabouts. Wouldn't it be a sin if I missed him?"
Yi Sansi objected and said: "It's just a unruly citizen. Let's go find him directly and take him back, so as not to bother you sir."
When Ding Siwu heard this, he also felt that it made sense.
Immediately, the two of them hurried to the direction indicated on the note.
It didn't take much time to arrive at Nanshan Ferry.
Wujun City was built on the water, with rivers like a network on three sides, flowing into the Huaijiang River.
There are many ferries on the east, west and south sides.
This Nanshan Ferry is the largest ferry in the south, with an endless stream of merchant ships and passenger ships coming and going.
A large market has also set up around the ferry.
Two people, B, 3 and 4, found the person they were looking for outside an inn in the market.
Ding Siwu looked happy and wanted to rush forward to get someone, but was pulled back by Yi Sansi.
"Don't act rashly, first find out who those people are."
The Diao Laoshi they were looking for was sitting outside the inn eating, but there were several other people at the same table.
One of them is his younger brother.
As for the other people, based on Yi Sansi's experience with eyesight, he saw that they were all sitting around the table, and they did not forget to look up and around from time to time while eating, with their eyes twinkling.
You know that these people are not ordinary civilians, but people who are experienced in the world.
Either he has enemies everywhere, or he has done something shady, so he is always on guard.
The two of them immediately touched each other, avoiding each other, and sat down at the blind spot of Diao Laoshi's table.
Before he came in, he tied their horses in the woods outside the market, just to avoid encountering an accident and alerting the target.
Everyone was sitting still, except Diao Laoshi, who looked restless.
