Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 243 "The Cat Catches the Mouse"

As night fell, Zhang Chen, Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui came out from Shuntian Mansion.

"I didn't expect that there would be rewards for this trip, hehe!"

Li Dazui weighed the purse in his hand and said.

"You don't even look at how many good things have been found from these salt dealers."

Bai Zhantang said indifferently, he didn't care about the reward money from the government office.

Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile, but didn't intend to interrupt.

After the three returned to the inn, Li Dazui went back to rest with a smile, while Bai Zhantang looked at Zhang Chen and reminded: "The Salt Gang is not easy to mess with. I saw that Lao Xing and the others were very excited before, so I still need to remind him." Be careful during this time."

Zhang Chen nodded. I'm afraid Catcher Xing himself is not very clear about this. Otherwise, there are so many hunters and quick catchers in Shuntian Mansion, why would Dandan find them two new recruits?

However, Zhang Chen didn't plan to tell Butou Xing directly about these problems, because he had to experience some things himself before he could know what to touch in the capital.

"Hey~, who made this era such a standard."

Zhang Chen secretly sighed in his heart.

By the second day.

Xing Butou and Yan Xiaoliu hurried to the inn.

"Old Xing, what are you?"

Bai Zhantang, who was greeting the guests, asked suspiciously.

"Don't mention it, I'm here this time to discuss something with you."

Catcher Xing said after sitting down at the long table.

"Hey, where's Xiaochen?"

There was no sign of Zhang Chen in the lobby of the inn. Then, Catcher Xing asked about Zhang Chen's whereabouts.

"He should still be upstairs, are you looking for something with him?"

Catcher Xing waved his hand upon hearing this.

"Didn't we catch the salt dealer, the next step is to take down the buyer behind the scenes."

Yan Xiaoliu added.

Bai Zhantang was startled, and then asked in a low voice: "Our neighbors have more or less bought illegal salt, how can we catch them?"

Xing Butou explained in a low voice: "After our surprise interrogation overnight, we found that these salt dealers were organized and premeditated, and the salt usually given to these neighbors was only sold secretly.

In fact, their main buying and selling channels are bulk transactions, and this time we are trying to find out the behind-the-scenes buyers of this large transaction. "

While the three were talking, Zhang Chen yawned and walked down the stairs.

After he came back yesterday, he went to the Shenhou mansion again, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

"Huh? Uncle Xing, Xiao Liu, why did you two come here so early?"

Zhang Chen saw Xing Butou and Xiao Liu at a glance.

Bai Zhantang grabbed Zhang Chen's arm, pulled him to a corner and asked, "Have you heard about Lao Xing talking about the Salt Gang? Both of them are going to investigate the big buyer behind the scenes now!"

Zhang Chen was stupefied, he had just come down from upstairs, so how could he know what they were talking about, then, Bai Zhantang explained the matter of Catcher Xing in concise language.

Zhang Chen suddenly realized, Zhang Chen clapped his hands and muttered to himself: "Let me just say, why did Shuntian Prefecture go crazy and want private salt dealers, the amount these people usually use is not worth mentioning at all.

I'm afraid that the amount of this transaction is too large, and some people can't sit still, so the people of Shuntian Mansion are allowed to catch these private salt dealers. It seems that they are planning to knock the mountains and shake the tigers. "

After hearing Zhang Chen's words clearly, Bai Zhantang agreed with Zhang Chen's point of view after pondering for a moment. There must be an invisible game involved.

"No, we don't care what tricks they have. Now it's about Lao Xing and Xiao Liu. Don't get too involved with them. It will be troublesome if they can't withdraw in the end!"

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, this Shuntian Mansion is not just Uncle Xing and Xiaoliu, I'm afraid our Master Lou has already arranged it!"

He met Lou Zhixian yesterday. He is now the third in command of Shuntian Mansion. He is an old stick immersed in officialdom. Zhang Chen doesn't believe that he didn't see the relationship clearly.

Only then did Bai Zhantang feel relieved, and brought Zhang Chen back to the long table.

"Just woke up? I have a letter taught to me by Master Lou. He asked me to hand it to you personally when I came to the inn today."

Xing Butou greeted Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen returned a bright smile. Then, Xing Butou took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

Zhang Chen took the letter, opened it and read it.

After a while, Zhang Chen sighed and said, "Ginger is still old and spicy!"

"Xiao Chen?"

Catcher Xing asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, Mr. Lou asked you two to stay in the inn for a few days..."

Zhang Chen had just started a conversation, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Catcher Xing.

"Wait? Stay in the inn for a few days? Didn't the buyer behind the scenes check?"

Catcher Xing asked eagerly.

"No, no, no, Lord Lou means to let Xiao Liu go undercover in the inn by himself, and then act secretly."

Zhang Chen explained.

"Then I'm going to be an undercover agent, who will work and patrol the streets for me?"

Xiao Liu got to the point.

Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders. He is a serious consultant of the Six Doors. Although he is a non-staff member, he is still a member of the family. Of course, it is impossible for him to enter Shuntian Mansion.

Several people looked at Bai Zhantang in a flash.

"I?"

Bai Zhantang looked confused, he just wanted Zhang Chen to persuade Xing to catch the head, now that Lou Zhi County has a solution, of course he doesn't want to join in the fun.

"That's right, it's your brother Bai!"

Zhang Chen shook the letter in his hand, and explained aloud: "And this is Lou Zhixian's intention. He wants you to take up the post of police officer publicly, in order to prevent the revenge of those who slipped through the net."

After thinking about it for a while, Catcher Xing said with a face of approval: "Your Excellency is really good at using people. Lao Bai's strength is enough for the job of Catcher. Lao Bai, I am optimistic about you!"

Afterwards, Catcher Xing made a joke about Bai Zhantang.

"What does this have to do with me, I don't want to get involved in this mess."

Bai Zhantang declined.

"Don't worry, can't you see that this is just a tactic to delay the attack? Master Lou is also afraid that Uncle Xing and Xiaoliu will be hot-blooded, and they will be retaliated if they continue to investigate.

That's why I used this undercover operation to let him come to our inn to hide for a while. After this gust of wind, no one will pay attention to them anymore. "

Zhang Chen said in a voice transmission that he told Bai Zhantang about his plan and that of Louzhi County.

Only then did Bai Zhantang nodded, and reluctantly agreed.

Xing Butou and Xiaoliu were overjoyed, and then Xing Butou said in a low voice: "This operation is extremely confidential, Lord Lou named it "cat catches mice"."

Zhang Chen thought to himself: "The cat catches the mouse? It's not sure who is the cat and who is the mouse. Xiao Liu, you should do an undercover job at the inn, and go back after the matter is completely settled."

　Thanks for the support!
