Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Brother Zhao Guan

After Wu You and You ran dozens of steps, the river channel suddenly became wider, and dozens of boats were moored on the river surface, the lights were shining brightly, and it was hard to tell which one belonged to the little boy.This is the river channel behind the Yanshui Lane. There is a small dock near the river in each courtyard, which is full of boats, and some clients come by boat.Wu and You lost their minds, looked at each other, drew out their knives, and searched for ships along the river.When the boatmen saw the two men wielding their knives fiercely and boarded the boat to search, they all yelled, some cursed in Suzhou dialect, and some begged for mercy.

The two searched for a while, but they didn't see the little boy's boat, they were anxious and angry.You Jun said: "It's fine if you can't catch the little boy, but you must catch the girl."Wu Gang said: "The girl is worth 1,500 taels of silver, how can she not be caught?"That thief boy can't be let go, I can't show my anger unless I beat him hard. The two walked along the river, and there was a small arch bridge in front of them.The two walked to the bridge and looked around the upper and lower reaches of the river, but they didn't see any suspicious ships.Wu Gang scolded: "You bastard, you have such quick hands and feet, but where did you go?"You Jun said: "This little thief is very slippery."He looks like a local, a small child, he can't get out of this Suzhou city.When it was dawn, we searched around the river, and we could always find two children.Wu Gang was furious in his heart, and shouted: "Grandma, we came out of the capital, and the journey went smoothly, but how could we have a somersault in this small city of Suzhou, and was tricked by a little urchin!"

You Jun let out a hey, and said: I don't know where the little thief came from, why did he run away with the baby girl?Could it be that he was hired by someone to sell the daughter separately?That woman surnamed Sun is extremely treacherous, maybe she sent someone to do it.Tomorrow we caught that little thief, so we have to ask him carefully.Wu Gang said loudly: "Whoever dares to stop Lao Tzu from making money, I must kill him!"Hmph, I just want to get the money early, let the Qingzhu girl from the Qingfeng Pavilion spend the night with me, and have a good fucking time. Speaking of Qingzhu, both of them became very lustful, and their language became filthy.After talking for a while, the two children were still nowhere to be seen. They had no other choice, so they decided to discuss it with Lu Laoliu and walked away.

Little did he know that the boy's boat was moored under the small arch bridge.The darkness under the bridge is the best place to hide.The boy squatted on the bow, stretched out his hand to gently cover Han'er's mouth, raised his head up, and listened to the two of them talking.The boy let go of Han'er after the sound of their footsteps disappeared, and said with a smile: "The two bastards are gone."What, is it fun? Han'er breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was still beating extremely fast, but seeing the mischievous look on the boy's face, she didn't seem to care at all, she took the thrilling adventure just now as if she was just playing, and felt that the boy was full of weirdness everywhere, staring at him. He doesn't answer.

The boy said again: You don't think it's fun, that's all.I saved you once just now, am I a good person?Can you tell me your first and last name?Han'er hesitated for a moment, and said, "My name is Han'er." The boy said: Zhou Han'er?It's not a very nice name either.I thought all the ladies were called Yingying, Ruilan, and Shaoman.Han'er didn't know that these women were the characters in the popular operas "The Romance of the West Chamber", "Worshiping the Moon Pavilion" and "Scent of Plum Blossoms" at that time. When he heard that his name was not good, he said angrily: "What's so good about your name?"The boy smiled and said: My name sounds nice.My surname is Hao, and my name is Ge Ge.The first song is a song of singing, and the second song is a song of fighting.

Han'er was very surprised when he heard this, and said: "Hao Gege?The name is strange.The boy said: What's so strange?You'll get it right after you read it a few times.Han'er read: Hao Gege, Hao Gege.The boy clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Good girl!" It was only then that Han'er realized that he was just entertaining himself, so he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, and shouted: "Okay, you are deceiving people!"The boy laughed and said: Since you called me three times my good brother, I should call you three times my good sister.Good sister, good sister, good sister.Han'er said angrily: "Who is your sister?"Don't call me sister.

The boy smiled and said: Many people want me to call her a sister, but I still don't want to.Then I will call you sister Han'er.Han'er still refused, saying: You should call me Miss Zhou.The boy laughed and said: Are you putting on airs with me, Miss Guan?I won't play with you anymore, so I'm going home now. Han'er became anxious immediately, and said: No, don't go.What am I going to do here alone? The boy said: I want to accompany, only my sister Han'er, Miss Zhou will not accompany you.Han'er could only say: All right, call me whatever you want.Just don't go.

The boy patted the dust off his clothes, stood up, picked up the pole and started to punting, and said, "Let's go quickly. Later, Lu Laoliu and the others will come after us, but it won't be so easy to escape." Han'er nodded, remembered something, and asked: What's your name? The boy said: "Your good brother doesn't change his surname when he's doing business, or when he's sitting down. The one with the surname Zhao Mingguan is."Han'er whispered Zhao Guan twice, thinking: This name is not unpleasant. Just as he was thinking, the boy had pushed the boat to a fork in the river.But hearing the sound of footsteps, a group of people came running up the river on the right, Han'er asked anxiously: Are they here to chase me?Zhao Guan quickly pushed the boat to the shore, moored with six or seven small boats, gestured for Han'er to lie down, and poked his head to see.But I saw a group of men in black running quickly along the river, each holding a sword, there were always about thirty people, quietly surrounded the grain transportation post by the river.

Zhao Guan whispered to Han'er: "It's not Lu Lao Liu's subordinate.Those bastards won't be here so soon. The outpost was a small tile-roofed house, Zhao Guan knew that there were such outposts every ten miles along the canal, and officers and soldiers were stationed day and night.The canals around Suzhou Mansion have always been calm, and the five officers and soldiers stationed at this outpost are on idle errands, and they are all sleeping with their heads covered.The men in black made a secret sign to each other, suddenly broke into the door together, raised their knives and slashed.Only then did the officers and soldiers wake up one after another, and shouted in surprise: Who is it?Bold thief!Ah yo my mother!The sound of clashing swords and swords came from inside the room. The officers and soldiers were panicked and confused. How could they resist, and there was no sound after a while.

An old voice among the men in black said: Is everything resolved?Several people replied: Yes.The old man said: "Take off their clothes, put the corpses in bags, and sink them into the river."According to the original plan, you put on the clothes of officers and soldiers and wait here.When the grain ship arrives, get on the ship, don't show your traces, and do it when you arrive at Yangzhou Mansion.Then I saw someone carrying five cloth bags to the bank, throwing the cloth bags into the river one by one, the water splashed, and the boat was less than ten feet away from Zhao Guan and Han'er.Zhao Guan and Han'er lay on the bottom of the boat, not daring to breathe.

After the men in black finished their work, they left quickly.The sound of footsteps was heard again, and a group of people rushed forward with torches noisily.The men in black stopped together and looked at each other, as if they were very surprised.The old man at the head said in a low voice: "I don't know if the visitor is an enemy or a friend, don't make trouble, wait for me to inquire."He said loudly: "Who is here?"What's the matter here at night? The new group of people were also taken aback when they saw the man in black, they all stopped, and the first person stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "In Suzhou, Lu Lao Liu, who is doing human trafficking business, is known as Suzhou Lao Lu."May I ask where are your friends from? The old man let out a hey, and said: Old man Jiangnan helps Lang Hua.Lu Laoliu was startled and said: It turns out that he is one of the three leaders of the Jiangnan Gang, Lord Lang, who is known as the God of Breaking the Monument!Disrespect, disrespect.When I was young, I always heard about the reputation of your gang, and I always admired it, but I was never lucky enough to meet any members of the gang.I don't know what kind of luck happened tonight, but I was lucky enough to see the golden face of old hero Lang!Back then, the old hero Lang killed the leader of the Taihu Clan with one palm, and single-handedly picked the Taihu Clan. His martial arts were world-class and famous all over the world.The young one met the old hero Lang today, he is strong and vigorous, he is always strong, he really lives up to his reputation!The little Sansheng is lucky, Sansheng is lucky!His tone changed drastically, this string of words was respectful and flattering, and even more tinged with fear.You must know that the Jiangnan Gang is one of the most powerful underworld gangs in the south of the Yangtze River. Lu Laoliu is just a small human trafficker. ringleader. Listening to his flattery, Lang Hua only heyed twice, and asked: I don't know why Master Lu brought a large number of men here, why? Lu Laoliu said: To tell you the truth, a little girl I bought ran away tonight. Someone saw her hiding beside the river just now. This business is not small, so I led my men to arrest her.Lang Hua said: "I haven't seen any little girls. I don't think they are nearby."Lu Laoliu said: Yes, yes.But he didn't want to leave. At this moment, when they heard the sound of water, everyone turned their heads to look. In the dark night, they saw a huge black shadow slowly approaching in the river. If you looked carefully, it was a big boat with a blue triangular flag on it. .After that, two more ships followed, making a total of three ships, all docked beside the outpost.Except Han'er and Wu You, the three outsiders, everyone recognized that it was a grain ship transporting grain, and the triangular flag on the ship was the logo of the Green Gang, a large grain transport gang. Lang Hua's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "Lu Laoliu, I see that the moon is bright tonight, so it's no big deal to take my brother out for a drink and a walk."This is my farewell.Then he said in a low voice: You can't tell me a word about seeing me here, or be careful!Hearing his stern tone, Lu Laoliu turned pale with fright, nodded repeatedly, and said in a low voice: "I understand, I understand."The old hero Lang is easy to go.Lang Hua led his men to leave in a hurry and disappeared in the darkness.
