Zhao Jin was drinking by the window, looking very depressed and worried.
Ling Shu carried the bird cage upstairs and saw him at first sight, and asked in surprise.
"Brother Xue! It's rare to see you show up. What's going on? Are you drinking here?"
"Oh, it's Brother Ling. Alas, it's hard to describe." Zhao Jin glanced at him with a wry smile.
"What?" Ling Shu sat down with concern, "Did someone make you angry? Say it and I will teach him a lesson for you!"
"Brother Ling, it's better to stop teasing me. You don't know, I've been in bad luck during this period!"
Zhao Jin shook his head, and while looking out the window, he was paying attention to Ling Shu from the corner of his eye.
Ling Shu asked with an uncertain expression: "How do you say it?"
"A few days ago, I asked Jiulongtang to help deliver some drinks to Beijing, but I didn't know that they were kidnapped by thieves before they left Qianzhou!" Zhao Jin slammed the table with his hand and sighed.
"Hey, anyone dares to rob Jiulongtang's goods?"
"That's right. I've lost thousands of taels of wine, and I don't know how to explain it to the Xie family." Zhao Jin said depressedly.
Ling Shu frowned and asked: "Then Cao Lei is old after all, why would brother Xue ask them to deliver goods? Otherwise, I will introduce you to a footwear shop, and you should stop cooperating with Jiulongtang."
"Jiulongtang is very powerful in Qianzhou. I didn't go there just because of their reputation. How could I have known that something like this happened." Zhao Jin hesitated before speaking and shook his head in disappointment.
When Ling Shu saw that Zhao Jin didn't answer his question, he didn't mention it anymore and pretended to be concerned for a few more words.
Seeing that he didn't find anything suspicious, Zhao Jin got up to say goodbye and wandered out of the restaurant.
It wasn't until he reached the corner of the street in the distance that he ducked into an alley. His drunken demeanor instantly disappeared, and he raised his head and stared at Ling Shu beside the window sill of the restaurant.
The boy next to Ling Shu was bending down and talking in his ear.
A figure suddenly appeared outside Cuiyun Tower, looked around and quickly entered the building.
Zhao Jin's face suddenly turned green. Although there was some distance, he could see clearly.
The man was skinny, his left hand was normal, but the sleeve of his right arm was empty!
.......
Zhao Jin reported what he saw to Jiulong Hall, and the three hall masters jumped up in anger and cursed.
"It turns out that it was Dong Fox, a pickpocketing beast, who dared to rob our goods. He should be killed that day."
Cao Lei took a deeper look and said slowly: "That kid must have been under the command of Ling Shu, otherwise he wouldn't be so courageous."
"Then why did Ling Shu rob our goods? Haven't we always been on the same page with him these years?"
"It should be aimed at Xue Ren. I heard that Xue's winery uses Ling Shu's Guanjiu. It is probably due to uneven distribution of profits. He wants to teach Xue Ren a lesson." Cao Lei said.
"Boss, then let's just forget it?" The third hall master said angrily.
"Forget it? How can we forget it? To rob our goods is to slap us in the face. I don't care what grudges Ling Shu and Xue Ren have, but Dong Hu and the gang of robbers must die." Cao Lei bit hard.
Teeth, a bone-chilling coldness radiated from the whole person.
"Where's the second child?" he asked next.
"Second brother has gone to arrange checkpoints in various places." The third hall leader replied.
"Well, he is still thoughtful. How is your recovery from your injury?"
"Some skin injuries are not serious. Boss, how can you deal with them?"
"You go notify the brothers, and then..."
On the seventh day of February, the spring rain was like silk.
The official road became muddy and difficult to navigate, and the heavy carriage almost got stuck in the ruts.
The third hall leader was wearing a raincoat and shouted, "Push all the cars under the tree, hurry up!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
The sky and the earth were gray, and the thunder split the clouds and exploded close to the scalp.
The third hall master suddenly narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at the dense forest on the left and right.
A sneer suddenly mixed in with the sound of rain, "Brothers, let's get to work!"
The next second, silver light flashed out, the blade spit out tin, and struck straight at the person on the carriage.
Dozens of figures roared out of the forest, like a densely intertwined net.
The third hall leader shouted angrily, dismounted from his horse, rolled across the muddy water, and chopped down the robber who was approaching him.
Then he rose up from the ground, stabbed the other person's chest with the long blade, and pushed him to knock away several people.
"You are the one waiting for me!" The third hall master shouted in a deep voice, "Get your things and greet the guests!"
The robbers were coming with force. Unexpectedly, this group of people who had been tortured by the rain just now suddenly burst out, pulled out the steel knife from under the carriage, and counterattacked towards them in a well-trained manner!
The steel knife hit sparks, and the sound of killing in the forest was like a tide.
Although the thief leader was a little surprised, he shouted with disdain.
"What's the use of just a few people? Kill them!"
As he spoke, he slashed at the people accompanying him in the winery.
But at this moment, the doors of all the carriages suddenly opened, and figures rushed out like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
The leader of the thief was caught off guard and was kicked several meters away. He knocked over his accomplice and fell into a mud pit.
It was raining heavily, and the fourth hall master held a long spear, stabbed a person's throat with great cruelty, and roared.
"If you dare to steal something from my Kowloon Hall, you will have to pay the price! Kill!"
The thief's secret plan is not good. This is a trap, but it is too late.
Nearly a hundred people were fighting in the rain, with endless screams. Because Kowloon Hall had the upper hand, the robbers were in chaos. Soon the situation became one-sided and they were all killed.
After receiving the message, Zhao Jin quickly rushed to Liujiazhuang.
As soon as he entered the hall, he smelled the pungent smell of blood and saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Brother Xue, you came at the right time!" Cao Lei smiled.
Zhao Jin sat down with his hands folded, "As expected of a senior, he caught someone so quickly."
"Humph, they're just some clowns." Cao Lei looked at the man on the ground and shouted sternly: "Keep talking!"
The man may have been seriously injured, and his voice was hoarse, "I don't dare to lie... someone hired us and gave us the route..."
"What does that person look like?" Zhao Jin asked.
"Wearing a bamboo hat, all I know is that... he is a thin young man, not tall..."
The man was almost out of breath. He struggled a few times, but what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.
"The other party has no characteristics?"
But the man looked at Zhao Jin, his eyes became gray and hollow, and finally uttered one word, "Hand..." and then fell silent.
Cao Lei waved his hand and asked someone to carry the body down, "It was Dong Hu who did it. He also bought a transportation route within us. Bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third hall master walked in with someone in his arms, threw him into the hall, and cursed angrily.
"Wang Mazi, our Jiulong Hall has never treated you badly in these years!"
Wang Mazi lowered his head deeply, muttering and not daring to make a sound.
"Hurry up and tell him!" The third hall master kicked him in the back, "Who did you tell the route to?"
Wang Mazi hit his head on the ground, twitched in pain, collapsed and cried: "Master, I'm just obsessed with it, it's all... It's Dong Fox, he's looking for the news from me!"
"Why did he start from the wine shop? Was it Ling Shu's instigation?" The relationship between Zhao Jin and Chen Ping has not been made public, so why did this group of people start from themselves?
"I don't know about this! He just said that drinks are easier to sell..."
It seems that Wang Mazi does not know about the relationship between Dong Hu and Ling Shu, he just wants to make some money.
"Master Cao, where is Fox Man Dong? I want to ask him." Zhao Jin was eager to know what Ling Shu was planning.
Two gang members came out carrying a body. When he stepped forward and saw that it was Dong Fox, he asked in surprise.
"What's going on? How did you die?"
The second hall master hurriedly explained: "We didn't do anything, he drank poison himself in the house and died."
Zhao Jin saw that there was some black blood left in the corner of Dong Hu's mouth, indicating that he was indeed poisoned and died.
He knew that this was clearly a murder and silence, and Ling Shu must have made Dong Hu unable to speak again after seeing what had happened.
