Fan Yuru knew in her heart that in many big cities, there was an organization behind such petty thieves.
A place like Xiyang Street in Anqing Prefecture, where there are many rich people, more traffic, and easier to start, is definitely the best site. Correspondingly, the organization behind it must be the most powerful and the most powerful in Anqing Prefecture. of.
Especially since Anqing Mansion is within the territory of Nanzhili, the boss of these thieves is probably some incompetent relative of the emperor, so the several guards all turned to look at Fan Yuru.
The thief who was caught looked proud, as if he was sure that he was fine.
Fan Yuru was also a little hesitant. Although Prince Rui's Mansion was not afraid of them, it was not his own territory after all. On the contrary, he was suspected of having too long a hand and being too lenient.
The most important thing is that the purpose of this trip is to escort Shen Tianshu to Jiang's house, and he doesn't want to cause any complications.
But if he doesn't care when he encounters it, he really can't do it.
But Shen Tianshu suddenly spoke to the thief: "Why, has your Beidou Gang Leader Cao's old illness relapsed? Have the people below him started doing such shameless things?"
Hearing this, Fan Yuru and the thief both turned to look at Shen Tianshu in surprise. She actually knew the leader of the Beidou Gang?
What surprised the thief even more was that this was actually true.
Almost a year ago, Gang Leader Cao had a relapse of his old illness and no longer had the energy to take care of the gang's affairs. Now the several stalls below are controlled by several deputy gang leaders.
The person in charge of the Anqing Mansion is the deputy gang leader Yao Yichen. He has always been a free-spirited leader who dares to do anything as long as he can make money.
Back when Gang Leader Cao still had the energy to take care of things, there was still someone who could restrain him.
Now that Gang Leader Cao has completely let go, Yao Yichen is like a wild horse with its bridle loosened. No one can control him no matter how recklessly he behaves.
Unexpectedly, this young lady actually revealed the matter straight away, and she sounded very familiar with Gang Leader Cao.
The thief immediately lost his previous arrogance, immediately put on a pitiful look, and said incessantly: "I don't know, this lady is an old acquaintance of my gang leader. Just now, I just had itchy hands and a brain disorder." Damn it, I hope you don’t have the same understanding as the young ones, because the young ones are blind to the mountains..."
If it weren't for the guards on both sides still holding his arms, he would have wanted to perform a scene for Shen Tianshu on the spot, where he would kneel down and slap himself a dozen times.
Although Gang Leader Cao has stopped taking care of the affairs of the gang for more than half a year, he still has some influence. If he finds out about what Deputy Gang Leader Yao has done, the gang will probably be shaken again.
"Clan leader Cao still lives in Sanfutanshuixie?" Shen Tianshu asked again.
This time the thief was really frightened and trembling all over.
Cao Chengyi did live in Sanfutan Waterside Pavilion, but people outside only called it Beidou Waterside Pavilion, and only a few people in the gang knew the name Sanfutan.
If he hadn't been smart and made one of Yao Yichen's cadres his godfather, it would have been impossible for him to know this name given his current age and status in the gang.
But the young lady in front of me could blurt it out. She must have been an old acquaintance with Gang Leader Cao, so she couldn't have just made it up casually.
"Since this lady is so familiar with our gang leader, let's let him go!" The thief thought quickly, "I was really confused for a moment, and I will never dare to do it again. If the gang leader finds out, he will definitely get angry. , The life of a little bitch is not worth anything, but if the gang leader gets so angry because of the little one, then the little one will really have no way to survive..."
"Let you go back to inform your superiors?" Shen Tianshu snorted coldly.
"Haha, even though I'm just a street gangster, I've been with the Beidou Gang for some time, so I still know the rules. If I was caught by my wife's men, I'm not good at studying. I just want my wife to show me her kindness. Just follow me. He let me go like a wild dog. I will always be grateful for my wife's kindness and kindness my whole life..."
"You are quite eloquent. No wonder you even know Sanfutan at such a young age." Shen Tianshu pointed him out with one sentence.
"I..." The thief broke into a cold sweat instantly.
He just thought that the name Sanfutan was only known to the top brass inside, but this lady actually knew it too, so her identity must be extraordinary.
But Dudu didn't expect that under normal circumstances, given his identity, he shouldn't know.
Fan Yuru came over and asked, "Why, Mrs. Tong knows Gang Leader Cao?"
"No, but I read his medical records by chance."
Of course Shen Tianshu didn't know Cao Chengyi, the leader of the Beidou Gang, but Jiang Tong did.
Five years ago, Jiang Tong treated Cao Chengyi for the same disease. At that time, he warned him that he should cultivate himself well, otherwise he would definitely relapse in as little as three years or as long as five years.
Cao Chengyi also said at the time: "If it relapses, I will have to ask Dr. Jiang to see me again."
At that time, no one expected that before Cao Chengyi's illness relapsed, the Jiang family would already be in a different state.
Fan Yuru knew a little about Cao Chengyi. He was a distant cousin of Princess Ren, and he established the Beidou Gang based on Prince Ren's palace.
Although the Beidou Gang also makes a living by collecting protection fees, it is within the acceptable range of merchants traveling to and from ships. Moreover, after collecting protection fees, they actually take people's money and eliminate disasters.
Moreover, Cao Chengyi is a very moral person. When he was in charge of the Beidou Gang, the two sides of the Yangtze River in South Zhili were always very peaceful, and there were no complaints from merchant ships passing by.
But I didn't expect that Cao Chengyi had been ill for less than a year, and the people below had made Anqing Mansion like this.
"What does Mrs. Tong mean?" Fan Yuru was a little unsure about Shen Tianshu's attitude.
"I wonder if I could trouble Mr. Fan to accompany me?"
Although Shen Tianshu was anxious to go home, she had treated Cao Chengyi in her previous life, and Cao Chengyi had always taken good care of Jiang Mansion's medicinal business.
If you don't know, that's fine. Now that you know, you can't ignore it.
"Okay, let's go after lunch." Fan Yuru agreed.
Shen Tianshu hesitated again. Although Fan Yuru did not hold an official position, he was from Prince Rui's palace after all. Would following him to see the Beidou Gang leader bring him trouble?
"If it's inconvenient..." Before Shen Tianshu finished speaking, they were surrounded by a group of people who suddenly rushed over.
The leader was a strong man in his thirties, with a beard and a fierce look.
"You are so brave. You dare to attack our Beidou Gang in Anqing Mansion. I think you are tired of living!"
Upon seeing this, several guards immediately drew their weapons and protected Fan Yuru and Shen Tianshu in the middle.
The thief took the opportunity to break free from the guard's grip, got out of the crowd, ran to the strong man and shouted: "Godfather!"
Then he stood up on tiptoes and whispered something into the strong man's ear.
When the strong man heard this, his eyes immediately changed, and he raised his head and looked straight at Shen Tianshu, who was being protected in the middle.
