Lord of Puluo

In Yuezhou Third Hospital, He Jiaqing suddenly opened his eyes. ✎♦

A strange power suddenly appeared, and it seemed that it was not too far away from the hospital.

Who has come to other states?

I wonder if I am thinking too much. Could this power be related to "Zhao Xiaowan"?

He Jiaqing wanted to go out to investigate, but the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Captain Chen from the Dark Star Bureau came in.

The doctor was telling Captain Chen about He Jiaqing's condition. Although some conditions had occurred during these days, He Jiaqing's condition did not seem to be improving.

Captain Chen was not too interested in the condition. He kept looking at He Jiaqing quietly.

He Jiaqing didn't dare to move because Lao Chen was a high-level peep cultivator.

The windows were closed, but there seemed to be a breeze blowing into the ward.

Power.

Lao Chen also sensed this inexplicable power and cast his gaze out the window, then looked at He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing complained in his heart.

What's the meaning?

You doubt me?

The two faced off for a moment, and the strange power disappeared.

Xiao Zhenggong sent someone to pick up "Zhao Xiaowan" and sealed it immediately.

…

After Lao Chen left, He Jiaqing quickly contacted Wan Jinxian: "Did Zhao Xiaowan really get it?"

Wan Jinxian changed his mind: "I'm still tracking him with all my strength."

He Jiaqing was surprised: "What happened?"

Wan Jinxian sighed: "I was fooled. Luo Zhengnan used lizard skin to trick me. I got the famous ancient gun Yunjiao. I mistakenly thought he was Zhao Xiaowan."

"Who is in charge of Zhao Xiaowan?" He Jiaqing's tone was calm, but it made Wan Jinxian even more nervous.

"It should still be in Luo Zhengnan's hands."

"Where is Luo Zhengnan?"

"It should still be at Iron Gate Fort."

"Still in Iron Gate Fort?" He Jiaqing laughed, which made Wan Jinxian tremble for a moment.

He Jiaqing said no more and broke off contact.

If his guess was correct, Luo Zhengnan had already arrived in another state, and the power just now probably came from him.

…

In the villa, Xiao Zhenggong held a banquet to reward Luo Zhengnan.

"Lao Luo, I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine. You are the only one who is truly capable in our gang!"

"Thank you, leader!" Lao Luo raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Xiao Zhenggong ordered people to serve wine and food continuously, and said a lot of praises, but he didn't mention a word about the deputy gang leader.

What does this mean?

He signed the deed.

Xiao Zhenggong is also from Puzhou, so he should know the weight of the deed.

Xiao Zhenggong is indeed from Puzhou, but he has lived in another state for too long.

He knew that people in Puzhou liked deeds, but he also learned some skills in dealing with deeds from other states.

For example, flexibility.

For example, loopholes.

For example, this sentence: "In principle... From a theoretical point of view... But the actual situation is..."

In principle, according to the contract, after the matter is completed, Xiao Zhenggong will have Luo Zhengnan as the deputy gang leader.

Logically speaking, Luo Zhengnan did get the job done and handed over "Zhao Xiaowan" to Xiao Zhenggong.

But the actual situation is that the position of deputy gang leader is not a trivial matter. It is related to the prosperity and decline of the gang, so it must be done with great caution. We cannot just look at merit, but must consider it comprehensively and take a long-term approach.

Can Luo Zhengnan understand this?

Yes, he's a hipster.

But can he accept such a result?

cannot.

He is from Puzhou.

For the people of Puzhou, the deed is an unshakable existence.

Luo Zhengnan didn't want to stay any longer, so he returned to Yaowanggou that day.

…

The next morning, Zhu Junlong, the general manager of Chashan Hotel, came to the ward, visited He Jiaqing, and gave He Jiaqing a bouquet of flowers.

After Zhu Junlong left, He Jiaqing grabbed a petal in his hand while the nurse was not paying attention.

Through the petals, He Jiaqing heard Zhu Junlong's voice.

"Jia Qing, we just found out the news that Xiao Zhenggong, the young gang leader of Jiang Xiang Gang, got Zhao Xiaowan."

He Jiaqing glanced at the nurse. The nurse couldn't hide his sleepiness and fell asleep.

He Jiaqing then asked Zhu Junlong: "Is the news reliable?"

"The news comes from Jiang Xiang's gang's informant, who charged us a lot of money, so it should be reliable."

Did the news get out so quickly?

Is Xiao Zhenggong so careless?

Was this news spread by people around him?

He Jiaqing had a lot of spies in Jiang Xianggong, but he couldn't penetrate Xiao Zhenggong's side.

Who else could it be?

Could it be Lao Luo?

What was his reason for doing this?

Is it because Xiao Zhenggong failed to honor his reward?

You can ignore the news of who is missing, but Zhao Xiaowan's soul must be obtained as soon as possible, otherwise some things will not be easy to handle.

He didn't want to lie here forever.

He Jiaqing held his chin and thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

You might as well take this opportunity to try out Xiao Zhenggong's quality.

He Jiaqing said to Zhu Junlong: "Find a suitable candidate and invite Gang Leader Xiao for a cup of tea."

Have a cup of tea?

Kidnapping?

Zhu Junlong was worried that he heard wrongly: "You mean, you kidnapped the young gang leader of the Jiang Xiang Gang and the vice-captain of the Dark Star Bureau?"

Sounds like an impossible task.

But He Jiaqing doesn't think so: "What does it mean to be kidnapped? How could we possibly do something like that? If this gets out, won't our reputation be ruined?"

Zhu Junlong was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"I asked you to invite him over for a cup of tea, ask him a few words, and then kill him. Wouldn't this matter not spread out?"

Zhu Junlong understood what He Jiaqing meant, but still felt it was too difficult.

new

Since He Jiaqing said so, he would naturally create suitable opportunities for Zhu Junlong to take action.

After returning to the hotel, Zhu Junlong received news from He Jiaqing not long after waiting.

Tonight, the Dark Star Bureau is going to Huahu District to investigate the black market, and Xiao Zhenggong personally leads the team.

Checking the black market is a prescribed action of the Dark Star Bureau. Sometimes it is a real check, and sometimes it is just a routine matter.

Xiao Zhenggong leads the team, it can be concluded that it is a routine matter, and he is not in the mood to follow the black market hard steel.

He had already said hello to the black market shopkeeper beforehand, and he was going to take a look tonight.

This is indeed a good opportunity, because in this routine operation, Xiao Zhenggong will not bring too many people, nor will there be too many precautions.

Zhu Junlong called a hermit and a fighter.

The person who lives in seclusion is the home cultivator. This person is called Duan Xiangwen, and he is a fifth-level cultivator.

The fighter is a martial arts cultivator, his name is Zhong Guoshu, and he is also a fifth-level cultivator.

Zhu Junlong told the matter, and the two agreed immediately without asking any more questions.

He Jiaqing is their brother, a brother who has died. As long as he says hello, the two of them will not hesitate at all.

What's more, this is not a matter of swords and fire. According to the information of the Dark Star Bureau, Xiao Zhenggong is only a third-level fighter. Zhong Guoshu thinks that it is enough for him to go alone.

Zhu Junlong warned: "It's better to be on the safe side. Jiaqing is very concerned about this, so we have to take it to heart."

Reclusive people are not good at communication. Duan Xiangwen is unwilling to communicate with Zhong Guoshu, and Zhong Guoshu also feels that it is unnecessary to take him with him.

Fortunately, Zhu Junlong was prepared. He was very familiar with the black market. He clearly explained the tactics and ambush locations, and even took the two of them to step on the plate.

At 11:58 pm, the black market opened on time.

The so-called black market is not a vegetable market on the street. Even if there are people taking care of it, they don't dare to make things so obvious.

There is a cultural palace on Yiping Road in Huahu District. It was rented out tonight by someone who said they wanted to watch a movie. This is where the black market is.

There is a cinema in the Palace of Culture. It was a very traditional cinema in the last century. The chairs are hard and can be lifted up. When the audience enters and leaves the theater, they can always hear a rattling sound.

Although the theater is dilapidated, it is not small in scale. It is divided into two floors, with boxes on both sides.

People who don’t understand the black market sometimes wonder, how come the Palace of Culture has been abandoned for so many years, why do people still come here to watch movies?

If there's something good going on, maybe I'll go to the theater and watch it.

Can I enter without a ticket?

able!

The movie screen shows classic movies from the 1980s and 1990s, and there are usually only twenty or thirty people in the audience.

When you enter the theater, don't rush to do business. If you really come to buy something, find a place to sit in the back row first, don't go to the first five rows, and watch it carefully for ten minutes.

If this movie is a martial arts movie, it proves that today’s sellers are selling weapons.

If it is a comedy, it proves that most sellers are selling magic weapons.

If it's a romance movie, it proves that most of the people here today are selling medicinal materials.

If it is a romance film that cannot be shown in regular theaters, it proves that there are elixirs for sale today.

If it's a gunfight movie, the situation is special. Most of the people here today are garrulous agents (agents), some who can arrange connections, get fake identities, and some who hire bodyguards and assassins.

After watching a movie for about ten minutes, there are people selling snacks in old movie theaters carrying boxes. He will come up to you and ask you what you want to buy.

The correct answer is to buy water, not drinks, just pure water.

Buy a bottle of water, don't drink it, go to the first five rows with this bottle of water, sit next to an audience member, and then you can talk to the seller.

The two of them still want to keep watching movies. The seller talks about the name of the product and the buyer listens. If they are interested in closing a deal, they go to the private room on the second floor to discuss it in detail. When discussing business, they put the water bottle at the door to avoid being disturbed by others.

After the business is concluded, the buyer should not be in a hurry to give money. Go downstairs first, shout to buy water, and wait for the snack seller to come up.

In front of the snack seller, the buyer gives money, the seller calls for the goods, and 10% is given as a bonus to the snack seller.

Why give so much money to the snack seller?

Because he is the owner of the black market, this is the venue fee he deserves.

Can we just do the business privately without calling him?

OK.

But you can't let him know.

Moreover, the shopkeeper is not responsible for receiving fake goods, receiving fake money, or being tricked by others.

The shopkeeper received the news in advance that all the sellers did not appear at the Cultural Palace tonight.

Many buyers came, but they didn't see anyone selling snacks. The first five rows were empty, and they didn't know who to talk to.

During the stalemate, Xiao Zhenggong came in alone.

After agreeing on the routine, Xiao Zhenggong brought two newcomers, Lamp and Star, over to take a look, ask a few questions and then leave.

There was no business at all here tonight, and it was not illegal for people to come and watch a movie. Xiao Zhenggong didn't even bother to open his mouth, and directly ordered Lamp and Star to ask a few questions and write a report.

He found a seat in the back row, yawned, and waited to call it a day and go home.

A man walked up to Xiao Zhenggong and asked in a low voice: "Are you selling water?"

Xiao Zhenggong frowned, glanced at the man, and said with a smile: "Are you sick? I don't want to catch you, so you still give it to me?"

The man replied: "I'm not sick."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp knife stabbed Xiao Zhenggong in the ribs.

"Follow me, don't move, don't talk."

The shot was swift and steady, leaving no trace. When Xiao Zhenggong saw this, he asked, "Are you a martial arts cultivator?"

The man put a little more force on the knife: "I asked you to stop talking."

Xiao Zhenggong smiled and said, "If you don't let me tell you, I won't tell you? Why do you think so highly of yourself?"

PS: What is the quality of the young gang leader?
