In an inconspicuous small house in the south of the city, a dozen strong men full of fierce aura were surrounding a white-faced man with a handsome face and a gentle manner, saying something.
The white-faced man seemed to be the weakest one, but everyone present took him as the leader.
Who would have thought that the bandit leader who caused trouble for the Huai'an government would actually be such a seemingly gentle and harmless person.
The layout of this small house is very simple. There is a small yard in front and a thick cypress tree growing next to it. It looks like it is quite old.
The furnishings in the house are also very ordinary, except for two chairs and a small square table, which is the shrine dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The statue of Guanyin was shattered, and the ashes from the incense burner on it were scattered all over the table, and a lot of them were scattered in the overturned dustpan, staining the unfinished pair of black cloth shoes.
At this time, three short and one long knocks came from outside the closed courtyard door, interrupting their conversation.
"It must be Lao Liu and the others who are back. I'll open the door!"
The strong man sitting on the outermost edge took the initiative to get up and open the door, and soon a lean man came in with him.
"Boss, guess who we met!"
Lao Liu rushed to the white-faced man excitedly, even happier than seeing Jin Zi: "Just now we were following the boy from the Pang family, and we actually saw the boy from the richest man's family. The two of them are going to swim in the lake together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else looked over, with greedy light in their eyes.
The white-faced man, their boss Luda, looked extremely indifferent: "Is the news accurate?"
Lao Liu patted his chest and said: "Fourteen and I heard it with our own ears. Lao Si is still watching over there right now. Ask me to come back and let you know!"
Luda thought for a moment and looked at the brothers: "What do you think?"
The second child was the first to say: "Brother, if one is doing it, the other two are doing it too! After doing this, we can wash our hands in a golden basin and enjoy endless food and drink for the rest of our lives!"
A dozen other people echoed in unison: "Boss, do it!"
Luda stood up and walked around in the not-so-spacious room. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, he nodded in the expectant eyes of his subordinates: "Okay, after this job is done, we brothers will wash our hands in the golden basin!
"
Zhao Minglang and Pang Yue were looking for Song Xixi on the street, not knowing that they were being targeted.
To be precise, after Luda and his entourage entered the city in disguise, he was the first person they targeted, because he was the son of the richest family.
It's just that Zhao Xiuran came back a while ago. When he had a rare free time, he decided to personally teach his son, whom he had not been close to for half a year. He was detained almost every day. Even when the father and son went out, there was a large group of guards following him. Luda and his party could not find a chance to make a move.
.
So they retreated to the next best thing and focused on several other wealthy households in the city who were slightly inferior to the Zhao family, and finally decided to attack Pang Yue, the legitimate son of the Pang family.
The Pang family is also one of the most wealthy families in the city, and Pang Yue's grandfather, the Kong family, loves him even more. Once Pang Yue is kidnapped, even if the Pang family refuses to pay a large sum of money to ransom him, the Kong family is no less powerful than the Pang family.
Won't agree.
Luda, a group of thugs who do all kinds of evil, just want to share the same family!
"Huh~ Forget it, let's not look for it anymore, her short legs are so good at running, I'm exhausted!"
Zhao Minglang leaned against a wall with weak hands and feet, his face flushed with heat: "Next time I see her again, I must scold her!"
Pang Yue was also very tired and couldn't help but feel happy when he heard his complaint: "If you have the guts, say it in front of Miss Song."
Zhao Minglang frowned and said, "Don't you dare to be a young master?"
Pang Yue laughed heartily: "Whether you dare or not, you won't know until you get to Miss Song."
Zhao Minglang rolled his eyes at him, hugged his neck and walked towards Jingxin Lake: "The moon is coming out soon, let's go to the lake first. There will be a lantern riddle party jointly organized by several merchants in the lake tonight, which should be quite interesting.
"
Pang Yue suggested: "How about we compete to see who gets more prizes?"
Zhao Mingliang had this intention: "Let's compete, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
Looking at the small groups of pedestrians on the street, Pang Yue suddenly sighed: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, a dozen of us drank wine together. I don't know how happy it was. Today, we are the only ones left to celebrate."
The smile on Zhao Mingliang's face fell, he looked at the rabbit lantern above his head and murmured: "Sun Zhiyang and I have been friends since childhood. I thought we would be good brothers for life, but I didn't expect it so early..."
Maybe he felt that this gibbering look didn't fit his image, so he stopped talking and pinched Pang Yue's cheek cheeks with a playful smile: "Speaking of so many bad friends, it turns out that you are the one I don't like to see the most.
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it..."
Unexpectedly, the person who stood firmly on his side in the end was actually this kid who had repeatedly tried to get in trouble with him.
Oops, this kid must have been impressed by his integrity, kindness, and heroic gentlemanly demeanor. Isn’t that why Xixi praised him so much that she was willing to be friends with him?
As soon as Pang Yue saw Zhao Mingliang's expression, he knew that he was narcissistic again.
He was speechless for a while, and he had to admit that compared to people like Sun Zhiyang, the guy in front of him who had once made him hate him was the one truly worth getting to know: "Shut up, we have to go faster, otherwise we won't be able to get the best deal."
It’s a great painting!”
Zhao Minglang said proudly: "Don't worry, I've already bought it for you!"
Even though Pang Yue had grown up well-fed and well-dressed, he couldn't help but feel jealous for a moment of his inhumanity: for people like them who had not yet started a family, their family would not give them too much gold and silver to squander, lest they grow up to be a prodigal son.
"Humph, you have to keep a low profile when you go out, otherwise you will be targeted by people with ulterior motives. You will know how powerful you are!"
Zhao Mingliang slapped him: "Shut up!"
"If you don't shut up, come and hit me!"
"Fuck, I don't have the heart to do it, don't you? Just stop, I'll let you know how powerful I am!"
"You can talk about it after you catch up with me, hahaha..."
Two handsome young men with similar temperaments ran in the direction of Jingxin Lake, noisily. Neither of them expected that Pang Yue's prophecy would come true and they would encounter a huge crisis on this full moon night.
The seven or eight guards who protected them followed closely, but they did not dare to get too close for fear of disturbing the interest of the two masters.
On a slightly remote street in the south of the city, Song Xixi squatted on the ground and taught Erbaifu who was lying on the ground: "You have rested for a long time, and you also ate roasted pig's trotters. Is it time for you to get up and work?"
Two Hundred and Fifty rolled over, with his belly up and his legs in the air: "Ouch, ow, ow, ow -"
Song Xixi had no choice but to hug the whole dog up: "If you don't work, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"
The eyes of the uniformed policemen around him could kill a dog. If he didn't let this stupid dog get angry, they would take action themselves.
After carrying Erbaiwu for a while, Song Xixi put it down, opened the box with the longevity lock, and gave the dog a sniff again to prevent it from falling off the chain and forgetting the remaining scent on it.
Still unable to find any trace of the villain, the police officers in uniform were very anxious.
Seeing Youzai Youzai coming to the food stall from time to time to chat with Erbaifu, they suspected that this dog was just here to eat and drink.
But every time they meet the dog's expectant gaze, they can't help but spend their own money to buy what it wants to eat. When they come back to their senses, they want to slap themselves in the mouth.
At this time, 250 came to a stall selling meatballs and sniffed around the small square table placed in the open space.
Just when the regular detectives thought that this guy wanted to eat meatballs again, he suddenly rushed and took Song Xixi to a corner, stretched out his claws and scratched the ground frantically: "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
