Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 195 Must go
"You mean that there is a thief organization in Cangzhou City, called the Three Hands Association?"

"Yes, yes, it has been there for a long time, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. If you want to use work for relief, go to the officer at the gate of the city and ask them to register for distribution. If you still don't want to, go to hard labor..."

The corner of Xu Qing's mouth turned upwards, a thief organization?interesting……

Since the increase of caravans in Cangzhou, the flow of people has increased by more than three times, but there are also various theft cases that have increased at the same time as the flow of people.

It turns out that the public security of Cangzhou City is mainly managed by the Cang County Government. When there was no traffic, they could still take care of it, but now they are gradually exhausted.Even with Xu Qing's commercial and tax department patrolling the streets, the fence still couldn't keep out the cold wind.

Xu Qing originally thought that most of the thieves were lone wolves, so he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he has discovered that these people are organized and planned, he will strike hard.Such forces that are not conducive to the local area must be eradicated in the bud.

The dark night is boundless, the river world!
Use black to make black!

After Anhe returned to Cangzhou, Xu Qing no longer incorporated them into the army, but built a cottage outside the city alone as before, and let Yang Cheng and Yang Xin take them for training.

Moreover, Xu Qing established a very rapid communication method between Cangzhou City and Anhe Village.At any time, as long as Xu Qing gave an order, twenty members of the dark river could be assembled within half an hour.The rest will also arrive within an hour.

Xu Qing wanted to wipe out all the members of the Three Hands Club, knowing that he should not startle the snake.When more than a dozen members of the underground river came, he organized these people to take to the streets, and asked for a fishing law enforcement!
Xu Qing wears a round-neck gown. The front of the gown is naturally loosened and hangs down, forming a lapel. It is woven with high-quality brocade, which is close to the lapel of the Hu suit. In the words of later generations, it is probably called the appearance. Western style.

In other words, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not think that "serving the demon" would lead to the subjugation of the country, and this is the reason that their predecessors and future generations love to find.

Not only did he dress in a foreign style, but he also borrowed many sachets and jade pendants from Huang Shimei, and exchanged them for a beautiful purse.The reason for this is that Xu Qing wanted to use himself as a bait to attract the third hand to attack, so as to achieve the effect of following the vine.

The so-called bold people with high skills, without the help of the dark river, Xu Qing must have let the cattle eat grass as the bait?It's just that what the Three Hands Club didn't know was that there were only a few copper coins in Xu Qing's purse.

On the South Street of Cangzhou City, there are many trinkets for sale, such as food and play, hot noodles, dried jujube cakes, windmill drums, brooms and dustpans, all made by farmers themselves.Most of the people who come here to buy things come here with cash and spare money.Since it's just wandering, even rich people don't bring a few guards around, so it's most conducive to thieves to start.

"Hey, osmanthus cake just out of the pan~"

"Look! Seven Treasure Steamed Cakes, eight cents a catty, ready to cut!"

The stalls were hot and steamy, and the stall owner only needed to yell a little, and then blow the aroma of the freshly baked pastries and cakes, and immediately crowded with people, everyone was clamoring to buy.

Of course, there are also those who just taste it, smell it and don't buy it, Xu Qing saw several of them.But smelling the fragrance, Xu Qing touched the purse in his bosom, and thought to himself, should I cut a piece and taste it?But after thinking about it, I thought again: Alas, there are only a few copper coins in the purse, and when the filling is leaked, the fish will not come.

At this time, Xu Qing felt a hard feeling in his hand, he looked down, huh?There must be more money.Looking up again, he saw a wretched face——Yang Cheng blinked, meaning I understand.

"Let's go, let's go!" Xu Qing screamed and squeezed into the crowd, attracting people's attention. He took the ingot of silver that Yang Cheng gave him, and slapped it on the table!
"Snapped!"

"Cut me a piece!"

"Hiss~" The surrounding people gasped and said in a low voice: "Yuanbao!", and the way they looked at Xu Qing changed immediately. You must know that some ordinary people will never see silver in their entire lives.

The stall owner looked at the ingot of silver with bright eyes, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "My lord, the small ones are cheap, they can't be regarded as an ingot, and the small ones can't be found. Please also Change to a smaller..."

"That's it, let's do it!" Xu Qing took back the silver, took out the purse in his arms, and pretended to dig out for a while, then took out eight big copper coins and said, "It's hard to find a copper coin for a catty!"

The people around are even more envious. Is this the rhythm of being so poor that only the big ingot is left?

The stall owner hurriedly took straw paper, wrapped Xu Qing's things carefully, and handed it over with both hands. Xu Qing took it, put the ingot of silver "at will" on his waist, and did not forget to say: "Let me try it." , if it tastes good, I will send one hundred catties to Liu Dashan's house in Dongcheng!"

After leaving the crowd, Xu Qing purposely went to a remote place and gnawed on that piece of Seven Treasure Cake.It seems that he didn't pay attention to the situation around him at all, and was indulging in the deliciousness of Qibaobing.In fact, Xu Qing did forget that he was still "bait".

"It's delicious, I rely on...it's delicious, it's the first time for me to eat such a good folk food in Tang Dynasty, it's hot, soft, and delicious!"

"Bang!" A figure bumped into Xu Qing's body, and the figure immediately bowed and apologized:

"sorry Sorry……"

"It's okay~" Xu Qing smiled generously, and continued to walk forward. After taking three steps, he came to his senses and touched his waist. Where is the money?The purse containing the copper plates in his arms is gone!

"Thief! Catch the thief!" Xu Qing jumped up and shouted, running towards the person who hit him.

Where can the thief escape?People from the dark river had been guarding Xu Qing's side for a long time. At this time, two random people came out, and the thief was subdued by the "passers-by" without any suspense.The thief hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will never dare again..."

Xu Qing just ate something, now when he ran away, his stomach hurt like hell, and he cursed: "You short-lived ghost, watch me catch my breath, and if I catch my breath, I won't beat you to death!"

"Master, I have an old mother and a child, so I have to make a bad move..." The thief cried as soon as he said it, and took out all Xu Qing's things.Xu Qing snatched it over and said, "Fight, there are so many reasons to be a thief! Fight!"

At this time, the "passers-by" were very sure about the identity of the thief, and they were punched and kicked angrily.Seeing that it was difficult to escape and unable to stop him, the thief rolled his eyes, and the thief passed out.

At this time, the passers-by panicked and stopped for fear of killing people.When Xu Qing sent some money to passers-by to express his gratitude, the thief suddenly jumped up and ran away.Xu Qing and passers-by sighed regretfully, they were caught in a trick!

In fact, Xu Qing and others all knew that the thief was pretending to be dizzy, and they just asked him to lead the way to the Sanshouhui's lair.

Xu Qing sneered, checked the inside of the purse, his face suddenly turned cold.

"I'll see you at Yangjiaping, Yanpan Bay alone, but I won't see you if there are too many people!"

He thought he was a hunter, but he didn't expect that he was the prey. The scene just now was just played for him by someone else.Moreover, the other party seemed to be aware of the existence of the dark river.

This three-handed meeting has a lot of background.

Xu Qing was even more worried about one thing. What confidence did the other party have that he would definitely attend the meeting?Returning home with doubts, Xu Qing knew the answer, Xun Xiaoer was kidnapped!

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Xu Qing was depressed. It was really uncomfortable to be calculated by others.

My brother-in-law was kidnapped, should I save him or not?
From an emotional point of view, Xun Xiaoer's status in Xu Qing's heart is not very high. If he only needs to give up things to save him, Xu Qing will not hesitate, no matter how much he has.But if he wanted to risk his life, Xu Qing hesitated.

After Xun Xueer knew the situation, she chose to remain silent.One side is a family member, the other side is a lover, how can Xun Xueer make a choice.

Huang Shimei and Xiaoyue were also there, and the whole family sat together with their heads down, silent. Xu Qing hugged Xu Xiaoqing, as if thinking about something.

"Son, do you think I want to go to your uncle?" Xu Qing teased. After teasing Xu Xiaoqing, Xu Xiaoqing made a babbling sound and his eyes sparkled.

After being silent for a while, Xun Xueer finally said: "Xu Lang, don't... well, don't go?"

Xu Qing shook his head at this moment: "No, I'll go,"

Xun Xueer said eagerly: "Yes, Wen'er, Shimei, Xiaoyue..."

"That's why I'm going!" Xu Qing looked at Xun Xue'er and said, "If I don't go this time, the person behind me will haunt me like a maggot! This time it's Xiao Er, next time Maybe it's Xu Qi, Wen'er, or you guys!"

Xu Qing seems to have to go, he wants to eliminate all the dangers that could threaten his heart...

"What if there is an accident?" Huang Shimei raised her head suddenly, with tears in her eyes, she held Xu Qing's hand.

"Oh," Xu Qing patted Huang Shimei's hand, "Shimei, what if I don't go? I can scare that person away. I'm the governor of Cangzhou, and I will never bow to such a low-level enemy."

"Hmph!" Huang Shimei regained her sanity, knowing that Xu Qing couldn't show weakness, but she still couldn't turn back to that game.Xu Qing put down Xu Wen, held the three girls in his arms, and said in a low voice, "You forgot? I have a gun..."

After hearing Xu Qing's words, the faces of the three girls became a little better. Xu Qing had taught them about that thing, its magical power.If it is head-to-head, that thing called "fire. gun" is invincible.

Xiaoyue said: "Master, let the cattle eat grass and lead the soldiers to surround Yangjiaping within five miles, and let the masters lurk closer!"

"I have a pair of soft armor, which cannot be broken by a hundred refining ring knife!" Huang Shimei said.

Xun Xueer had nothing left and nothing to suggest, so she took an amulet from her neck and gave it to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, this is the amulet I gave you when you went to Hebei to fight Liu Hei."

Xu Qing smiled heartily: "That's right, this is the young master's woman!" Xu Qing said it lightly, but in fact he was still terrified, after all, he was risking his life.

Suddenly, a hint of distress flashed in the eyes of the three women, and when Xu Qing was wondering, there was a huge pain in the soft flesh of his waist.Looking back, Xu Qi was hanging there with her teeth clenched.Xu Qing grinned in pain, Xu Qing said fiercely: "Say, am I your woman!?"
