Shi Jin and Chao Gai hurried out the door without having time to put on their clothes. They hurriedly sent the doorman to invite the visitor to the study in the back hall. The two of them also ran into the study and waited.
But for a moment, light footsteps were heard outside the study. In the blink of an eye, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat appeared in front of them again. Neither Shi Jin nor Chao Gai was surprised at all. They knew that this Who is it? They have been waiting for it for a long time, and now it is the right time.
The man took off his bamboo hat, didn't bother to sit down, and whispered: "Is it convenient to talk here?"
Chao Gai ordered all the guests to go down, opened the door and took a look outside. When he saw that there was nothing unusual, he closed the door of the study and said, "Brother Qin, is there any news?"
Qin Dong untied the bamboo hat on his back, looked at Chao Gai and Shi Jin seriously, and said: "The Zang family has made a lot of money these days because of the Jinbao Gambling House. Now because of the big account, they are all One day at a time, Zang Hanzhong was afraid that you would cause trouble in the past few days, so he took turns sitting between the two gambling halls. On odd-numbered days, he would collect treasures, and on even-numbered days, he would go to the old gambling hall. Tomorrow is an even-numbered day, so it’s just the right time to start. ,Look, this is the topographic map of Jinbao Casino that I drew recently,"
As he spoke, Qin Dong took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and spread it on the table. Chao Gai took an oil lamp and moved it closer. The three of them came over and stared at Qin Dong's map.
Just as Qin Dong was about to speak, suddenly there were three gentle knocks on the door outside the study. The three of them couldn't help being startled by the sudden knock on the door. Chao Gai was stunned and asked: "What's the matter? "
"The second boss is me, Wu Yong,"
Chao Gai and Shi Jin both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Chao Gai put down the oil lamp and hurried over to open the door. Shi Jin smiled and said to Qin Dong: "It's okay, we are all our own people. This Wu Yong is our new recruit." Here comes the military advisor,"
Qin Dong nodded and watched an elegant-looking teacher come in with Chao Gai. The four of them stood around the table. Qin Dong then spread out the map again, pointed at it with his hand, and said: "Here, Here, and here, are the strongholds where three thugs and bankers are on standby. These three points can take care of the field here. There are also three distributed here, taking care of the field to the east, and the two aisles here and here. There are all villagers from the Zang family patrolling. There is also a stronghold on the stairs leading to the accounting room on the second floor, which is specially used to protect the safety of the accounting room. The accounting room was placed in the middle of the second road by Zang Hanzhong, and the treasury of the gambling house is in Jinbao Gambling. The backyard of the museum, where the Zang family has placed a large number of people to guard it day and night."
Shi Jin looked at it and nodded, saying: "If Zang Hanzhong doesn't come tomorrow, then this gambling house will be under your control."
Qin Dong raised his eyes, nodded carefully, and said: "If this old fox has no unexpected arrangements, it stands to reason that this can be said."
Shi Jin said: "That's good, come, Qin Dong," Shi Jin pulled Qin Dong to his side and whispered in his ear: "Tomorrow morning, you will be like this, like this, like this..."
After hearing this, Qin Dong nodded deeply, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of this matter. But, if I've already done it, how can I tell you the news?"
Shi Jin said without thinking: "This is easy to say. As long as you have done it, just nail a copper coin to the third pillar outside the gambling house at the entrance of the gambling house."
Qin Dong nodded, and immediately handed the map to Shi Jin. His mission for this trip was completed, so he put on the bamboo hat to cover his face again, cupped his fists and saluted, and left quietly through the back door.
After sending Qin Dong, Chao Gai, Shi Jin and Wu Yong away, they sat down around the desk. Shi Jin opened the map again, looked at it carefully, and said: "Zang Hanzhong still has a hand. If we do it as it was originally done, I'm afraid it won't work and it will take a lot of effort." At this point, Shi Jin straightened up and said to Wu Yong: "Sir, you'd better invite all three brothers here to talk. ,"
Wu Yong agreed and hurried out. Not long after, the three Ruan brothers also entered the study, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
Shi Jin called everyone to gather around the table and said to everyone: "We have not taken any action to retaliate against the Zang family for several days, and tomorrow happens to be the day of Brother Chao's funeral. The Zang family will think that we are busy with the funeral and have no time for other things, so they will take a breather." , So, tomorrow is a good opportunity to make a move. It’s not long before dawn, so we have to hurry up and make arrangements." Shi Jin said, pointing to the map, and further said: "Brothers of the Ruan family, I have to trouble you tomorrow. ,"
The three men of the Ruan family clasped their fists together and said, "Listen to the master's words."
"Okay," Shi Jin pointed to the map and said, "Tomorrow, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, one will be in the gambling game here and the other will be in the gambling game here. The small money will be gambled first, but secretly You have to pay attention to distinguish which ones are dealers and which ones are gamblers in these two corridors. I think this is not difficult,"
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi looked at each other, smiled slightly, and said, "It's on us."
"Ruan Xiaoer, don't go to Jinbao Gambling House after dawn. You order two side dishes to eat in the restaurant opposite. When you see someone nailing a nail on the third pillar outside the gate of Jinbao Gambling House, When you get a copper coin, come down,"
Ruan Xiaoer also nodded and said: "This is too simple. Could it be that the boss wants us to do this?"
Shi Jin shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't worry, this copper coin is the rumor spread by our insiders. Only when everything is ready can we make big moves. Come on, let me tell you three... this is it, this is Like this... Don't worry about those dealers when you are done. When the time comes, just go to the south wall. When the time comes, I will send Military Advisor Wu to meet you there."
After listening to Shi Jin's call, the three Ruan brothers suddenly became energetic. They were all very excited, eager to give it a try, and shouted "good measurement, good measurement". After Wu Yong listened, he was also secretly happy, secretly Dao, this Shi Jin is indeed not just a man with a gun and a stick, in today's world, only such talents are worthy of assistance and can achieve great things.
At this time, Shi Jin turned his face, looked at Wu Yong and said: "Sir, when you take care of the three Ruan brothers, if someone calls you from behind, don't panic, just treat it as normal, look back, then look back. Go, no matter what the people behind you call you, just keep walking forward. Don’t stop, and don’t panic. You can walk the same way you walk on weekdays. From the south wall here to Guangyun Street, I walked I went to take a look and found that it was a narrow path no more than five steps wide. There were many people buying and selling on the left and right. As long as you blended in with the crowd and followed the zigzag pattern, you could blend into Guangyun Street. I will arrange one at that time. The carriages and horses are there to meet you. There is a lantern hanging in front of the carriage. As long as you see it and get on the carriage, it will naturally take you to the street directly opposite the Yamen and park. Then, you will wait in the carriage. Just put it on,"
Wu Yong wrote down Shi Jin's words one by one and said: "The young man understands, the boss can rest assured."
When Chao Gai saw that Shi Jin had arranged for the three Ruan brothers and Wu Yong, but not himself, Chao Gai became slightly anxious and said: "Brother, they are going to trouble the Zang family, so what should I do?"
Shi Jin looked at Chao Gai. At this moment, Chao Gai had relaxed his brows and lost all the original melancholy. He said: "Brother Chao, you bury Brother Chao properly first. When the funeral is ready, you go to the Yamen. At that time, you can meet Wu Yong in the carriage opposite the Yamen Gate. After that, you can go to the Yamen Gate. Come on, Brother Chao,"
Chao Gai knew that Shi Jin wanted to teach him a clever plan, so he put his ear to his side, and Shi Jin used these words to tell him what to say, how to design, how to make Lord Wu suspicious, and how to take Lord Wu as his own when he entered the yamen. Chao Gai became more and more happy as he listened. When Shi Jin said the last part, Chao Gai couldn't help laughing out loud and said in admiration: "Brother Shi has such a clever trick, even if the Zang family is like a ghost, he will have to eat our feet." water,"
Everyone laughed together, and Shi Jin looked at the sky. There was already a faint fish belly white in the east, and dawn was beginning to break. So everyone dispersed and went around to prepare.
Shi Jin returned to the room arranged by Chao Gai alone. As soon as he closed the door, a person fell silently on the beam. He suddenly appeared in front of him and startled Shi Jin. He was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and said, "It's your kid, you scared me to death."
Shi Qian smiled and pulled up a stool to sit on, saying, "I've been waiting for brother for a long time,"
"Looking at you, you've made a lot of progress," Shi Jin also pulled up a stool and sat down.
Shi Qian nodded and said: "Although the harvest is not much, it is still of great importance. I have to come back and talk to you first before deciding on the next move."
"Oh, tell me what the news is,"
"It's not just the two of us who have come to Yuncheng County in the past few days, there are also two other groups. One group is from Liang Shanshuibo, and the other is mysterious," Shi Qian said, walking towards Shi Jin's house. He moved his ears and then whispered: "I've been staring at these people for a few days. There is no definite way to separate and reunite these people. They seem to be very incompatible with each other. However, they seem to be dependent on each other and talk a lot. Metaphors, some slang words can be guessed, some are said so fast that I can’t wrap my head around them, in short, they are all related to the birthday card."
Shi Jin couldn't help but think of something when he heard that. He didn't speak at the moment, but listened to Shi Qian continue: "This group of people is also inquiring about the birth plan. It seems that they came here one step earlier than us, and the information is better than us." They are more knowledgeable. They are currently living in three inns in the south, south and north of the city. During the day, they hardly leave their homes except for eating and drinking tea. However, there seems to be nothing that they don't know about the news in the city. Even the Zang family and Chao family They all know the ins and outs of the family's fight, and you won't be surprised at all,"
