Chapter 209 Qin Ming: Brother is right! [1 more]

"Uu——"

Yang Zhi pulled the reins of his horse, dismounted and walked into the pine forest. Looking at the date pits scattered all over the ground, he was filled with emotion:

"Brother, this is the place..."

When Yang Zhi left Huangnigang he walked, and when he came back he rode a horse, so he arrived in less than a day.

Pointing at the date pits scattered all over the ground, Yang Zhi told Liu Gao, Qin Ming and others:
“The thieves disguised themselves as customers selling dates.

"I believed it, but I didn't expect that they were in cahoots with the liquor seller..."

Although Yang Zhi was talking to everyone, his eyes were only on Liu Gao.

Qin Ming and the others were also looking at Liu Gao.

The main reason is that Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Ou Peng, and Jiao Ting together can't form a complete brain...

Of course Liu Gao knew the correct answer.

The difficulty is that it is impossible for him to directly announce the correct answer.

So Liu Gao pretended to wave his goose feather fan, walked here and there, and closed his eyes in deep thought...

Yang Zhi could only look at Liu Gao helplessly.

If he had an idea, he wouldn't have to become a bandit in Erlong Mountain.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Gao slowly opened his eyes, with wisdom gleaming in them:
“Whether they are selling dates or wine, it is obvious that these are their disguised identities.

"What do you think their true identities are?"

Qin Ming said without thinking: "He must be a strong man!"

"wrong!"

Liu Gao directly denied him:

"If it's a strong man, like Erlongshan, can't we just rob him?

"Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?"

"Yes!"

Yang Zhi suddenly realized:

"If they were bandits, they would be so numerous and powerful that we could just rob them!

"So what brother means is that they are one-legged thieves?"

The corners of Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:

"How many thieves are there?"

Yang Zhi: “Seven!”

Liu Gao: "So why is the One-legged Thief called the One-legged Thief?"

Yang Zhi was stunned: "Because they all committed the crime alone...

"Brother, who are these people?"

"First, they used a ruse."

Liu Gao gently waved his goose-feather fan and talked eloquently about the process of extracting silk from cocoons:

“This shows that they are not just ordinary strongmen.

“Strong people like to use force to solve problems.

"So at least one of them is a scholar."

Yang Zhi: “Yes, yes, yes!”

"Secondly, since they dared to rob the government troops, they must have martial arts skills."

Liu Gao said, "Without martial arts, what will happen if the plan fails?
"So at least one of them is a good man."

Yang Zhi: “Yes, yes, yes!”

“Third, they disguised their identities.

"This is very important, it proves that they have an official status."

Liu Gaoshuang said: "So at least one of them has an official status."

Qin Ming couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

you win!
Liu Gao sighed: "Why do you think I have to use the alias Liu Neng Liu Haizhu when I'm out there?"

Qin Ming suddenly realized: "Brother is right!"

Yang Zhi was very excited: "Brother, continue!"

"Fourth, the reason they robbed the birthday gift must be for money."

Liu Gao said: "Then the question is, how desperate are they to take such a risk?

"Or to put it another way, who needs money the most?"

"gambler!"

Yang Zhi's eyes lit up:
“Gamblers are the ones who need money the most!
“Because if they have money they will lose it all in the casino!
"Gamblers love to take risks!"

"good."

Liu Gao felt that it was great to have someone to support him, so he gave Yang Zhi a thumbs up and said:
"They chose to rob in Huangnigang, which proves that at least one of them is familiar with the terrain." Yang Zhi: "Right, right, right!"

"So now we know—"

Liu Gao narrowed his eyes like a fox, waved his goose-feather fan, and counted with his fingers:
“Among the thieves, there is at least one scholar, at least one traitor, at least one person with an official status, at least one gambler, and at least one local.

"So is there a possibility that there is overlap among these identities?"

Jiao Ting got it right away:

"My lord, what you mean is that the thief is very likely a local scholar, or a local gangster, or a local gambler..."

"good."

Liu Gao interrupted his Lianliankan:

“It’s a local gambler.

"And it can only be a local gambler."

Qin Ming couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

Liu Gao sat on the shaft of the cart, holding a large wine gourd in one hand and a goose feather fan in the other, drinking and analyzing:
“First, the thieves were divided into two groups.

“One group consisted of six people selling dates.

“The other group was a liquor seller.

"According to Brother Yang Zhi's description, they first saw six date sellers enjoying the cool in the pine forest.

"Later, I saw a wine seller carrying two barrels of wine on his shoulder, walking up the steps from below.

“It doesn’t matter whether the six people selling dates know the way or not.

“Because they can wait there forever.

“They could have asked the native to take them to the pine woods and wait there.

“But the wine seller must know the way.

“Because he was acting alone and had to walk up from the post.

“So the person selling the alcohol must be a local.”

Qin Ming asked again: "Why must the person selling wine be a gambler?"

Liu Gao laughed and said, "Because the wine seller needs to carry these two barrels of wine all the way from the village.

“I don’t know how many locals I’ll meet along the way.

"Which scholar, jianghu hero or local person with an official status can be so shameless?"

Qin Ming suddenly realized: "Brother is right!"

That's it!

Yang Zhi secretly rejoiced:

Fortunately, I held back and didn’t ask. It turns out the truth is so simple!
"Without further ado."

Liu Gao drew a circle around Huangnigang with his goose feather fan:

"We will split into four... three... two groups."

Originally, Liu Gao wanted to divide his troops into four groups.

However, considering Qin Ming's IQ and his own safety, he decided to split the troops into two groups.

"Qin Ming and Ou Peng are going one way, and Yang Zhi, Jiao Ting and I are going one way."

Liu Gao redistributed them: "We go east, and Brother Qin Ming, you go west.

"Just go to the nearest village and ask around at the crossroads to see if there's any gambler walking by with two large buckets.

“He wanted to carry two barrels of wine from the village, and I don’t know how many people saw such a big target.

"I'm sure you can find out."

"Wow! Wow!"

Yang Zhi, Qin Ming and others all bowed down in worship!
If it were them, they wouldn’t be able to figure it out even if they went bald!
So Qin Ming and Ou Peng went west, and Liu Gao, Yang Zhi and Jiao Ting went east.

The troops were divided into two groups, each heading in the east and west.

The correct answer is that there is an Anle Village ten miles east of Huangnigang.

Bai Sheng, the "Daytime Rat" who sells wine, lives here.

Liu Gao went this way himself, of course because he was afraid that others would miss the correct answer.

The three of them walked for ten miles and finally arrived at a village.

Yang Zhi walked into a village shop at the intersection:
"Shopkeeper, is there any——"

"Is there any good wine and good meat?"

Liu Gao interrupted him and said to the waiter:

"First, five pounds of beef, then some filtered wine!"

[I drove more than 700 kilometers on the highway for most of the day. I was exhausted. I continued to write~]
