Li Changting is writing a report to the imperial court.
"It will take two months at the fastest to report to the court and send officials down. If it's too slow, no one can come for half a year." Xu Qingdao said, "the imperial court is short of people now. The seven grade officials in such a small place have to be evaluated and assessed. But who is in charge of these common people's troubles for such a long time? It's better for you to directly promote a person in kunzhou."
Li Changting: "I'll write another letter to the governor of kunzhou, asking him to send a competent official to come, and the Yamen will close first..."
"No, my Lord! My lord? " Suddenly there came the voice of the Yamen servant's panic.
Li Changting and Xu Qing quickly went out, "what's the matter?"
"My Lord, someone broke the prison and rescued all the mountain bandits!" The Yamen were at a loss.
Xu Qing's eyes widened: "prison break? Who is it? "
Yamen servant: "they claim to be members of the black dragon Gang!"
Li Changting: "what is the black dragon Gang, mountain bandits?"
The Yamen officer scratched his head: "this I'm not very clear. The black dragon Gang is in Nanxing Town. It's said that they collect protection fees. We're far away from here. We don't know much about it. "
Li Changting and Xu Qing look at each other, Nanxing Town, isn't that their destination.
When they came to the prison, they saw that all the mountain bandits had been robbed. Only the original county magistrate and his relatives were left in the prison.
Li Changting sent out the two letters, closed the Yamen and left with Xu Qing.
Externally, Li Changting asked people to release the news that he was ready to suppress the Huanglong Gang, so that the Huanglong Gang could focus on him, so that the people here would not suffer.
Li Changting drove his carriage to Nanxing Town, where they arrived in the evening two days later.
It was getting dark. Li Changting went to an inn at random and found it was a black shop.
"How do you see that?" After coming to the room, Xu Qing asked in a low voice.
Li Changting: "there are swords hidden under the table. The shopkeeper and his staff can also do martial arts. It's just that this town is not a wilderness. It's strange that such a town can even have a black shop in the bustling city."
Xu Qing: "what should I do? Can I go?"
Li Changting: "no, stay and see the situation."
Xu Qing: "I think there are still some guests eating in the inn. Will there be so many customers in the black shop?"
Li Changting: "yes, this kind of place is where people from the underworld gather. It looks like a normal business. If ordinary people walk in carelessly, they will be slaughtered at most. Let them think that we are just entering by mistake."
Xu Qing: "do you think there will be black dragon Gang here?"
Li Changting looked at her: "your words remind me that we can take the opportunity to inquire about the news of the black dragon gang."
After a while, the man brought up the hot water and food.
Li Changting threw a small silver spindle in the past. The man immediately brightened his eyes and looked at Li Changting respectfully with silver in his hand: "my guest, what else can I do for you?"
Li Changting: "I heard that there is a black dragon Gang nearby. What kind of gang is it?"
The man was stunned and said with a smile, "my guest, do you want to inquire about the black dragon Gang?"
Li Changting: "that's right. What's the origin of the black dragon Gang?"
The man's eyes turned slightly and said with a smile, "the black dragon Gang is actually a small Gang in the river and lake formed by a man named Black Dragon. It's no big deal to fight wild animals around here and then collect some protection fees from the villagers."
The man was obviously covering up. Li Changting said, "well, I've been robbed several times all the way. They all say that I'm a member of the black dragon gang. The black dragon gang has a wide development. It's not like a small Gang in the Jianghu."
Speaking of this, Li Changting frowned slightly displeased.
Man, ouch: "you really misunderstood! The black dragon Gang never robs. You meet mountain bandits. These mountain bandits probably want to find someone to carry the pot, so they deliberately say that they are members of the black dragon gang. "
Li Changting:" it seems that the black dragon Gang is still a good Gang? "
Man: "I don't know about the little one, but I really haven't heard of any bad business done by the black dragon gang."
Li Changting: "I see. Go out."
The man bowed: "Oh, please use it slowly. I have something to say to you."
After the man went out, Xu Qing whispered, "he's lying, deliberately defending the black dragon gang."
They can break into the Yamen prison and rob criminals. They still say that they haven't done anything bad. Who can they cheat.
Li Changting: "a nest of snakes and mice is like an alliance between those decent sects and those evil sects. One force is very weak, but a group of forces can't be underestimated."
Xu Qing: "tomorrow, you'd better go to a reliable person to inquire about the news. There's nothing to ask here."
Li Changting: "when we ask about the black dragon Gang, these people must be on the alert. They expect to be watched as soon as they go out, and even kill us before we are ready to do anything."Xu Qing: "what should we do then?"
Li Changting: "first, find some helpers. These gangsters can't cover the sky with only one hand in Nanxing Town. Let Ah Xiang ask for some news."
Duanmu Xiang has been eating, sleeping and eating in the space these days. He has already made up for his damaged vitality. After Xu Qing released him, he happily went out to have fun.
Originally, they wanted to enter the space, but thinking that it was a black shop, there might be something unexpected in the evening. Xu Qing and Li Changting made do with it outside for one night.
The next morning, before Duanmu ring came back, Xu Qing and Li Changting settled their accounts and left the inn. Before walking for a while, a small stone was thrown into Xu Qing's carriage with a note tied to it.
Xu Qing opened the note and saw that it said: xianle Pavilion Duanmu.
Xu Qing gave the note to Li Changting. Li Changting said, "it's Ah Xiang's handwriting." Then he asked the passers-by the location of xianle Pavilion and drove to there.
Xianle Pavilion is located in the famous Jinghua street of Nanxing Town, where theatrical troupes, qufang, Pingshu, Qinglou and other places are gathered. It is the cultural and entertainment gathering place of Nanxing Town, and also the place with the most education.
A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of xianle Pavilion, and immediately a man came to serve.
"What music do you want to listen to?"
"We're looking for someone. His last name is Duanmu."
"It's Mr. Duanmu's guest. Please come inside." The man immediately respectful a lot, with Li Changting and Xu Qing on the third floor, came to a room in front of the door.
"Duanmu is in there." After that, the man saluted and turned away.
When Li Changting pushed the door in, he saw duanmuxiang lying lazily on the cushion. Two women playing the piano and flute were playing a melodious and relaxed tune.
