Chapter 310 This is a matter of face and must be taken seriously (two chapters in one)
Spirit World, Dongwu City.
Early in the morning, there were many people busy on the pier beside a river that ran through Dongwucheng.
Workers wearing linen shirts and wet towels hanging around their necks moved goods from a cargo ship docked at the dock.
Although the sun has just risen from the sky and the temperature in the morning is not very hot, the workers who are carrying goods back and forth from the cargo ship are already sweating profusely.
"Don't be lazy. Please be more agile with your hands and feet. In a while, another cargo ship will arrive. Unload this cargo quickly."
Although the sweaty workers were not lazy, they were responsible for monitoring them. The supervisors still felt that the workers' work efficiency had not reached their limit, and they kept urging them.
If you observe the dozen supervisors supervising the workers on the dock, you will find that these people all have a tattoo on the back of their hands.
These overseers are members of the Red Blood Gang, and this dock is the property of the Red Blood Gang.
Not far from the dock, there are warehouses built. These warehouses are used to temporarily store goods unloaded from ships.
A little further behind these large and small warehouses, there is an open space. Many brand-new houses have been built on this open space. These houses are the residences of members of the Red Blood Gang.
Compared with the residences of the Bluestone Gang members, the residences of the Red Blood Gang members are obviously much better.
Precisely because the Scarlet Blood Gang owns a dock that makes a lot of money every day, it is wealthier than the Bluestone Gang and is more generous in providing benefits to its members.
At this moment, many people gathered in the meeting hall of the Red Blood Gang.
Sitting in the main seat is a middle-aged man in his forties with a friendly face. He is one meter nine tall, slightly fat, with a protruding lower abdomen. He is wearing loose clothes.
This tall, fat, middle-aged man is the leader of the Red Blood Gang, named Hong Jiu. Although he looks kind and looks like a good guy, he is actually a ruthless character.
"Do you know who did it?" Hong Jiu, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, looked at the two bodies lying on the ground without moving, with their faces covered with cloth, without any emotion. asked in a tone of voice.
The small leaders of the Red Blood Gang in the meeting hall glanced at each other, and no one answered the question of their gang leader.
The two members were found dead in an alley by passers-by.
After a passerby reported it to the police, the Yamen knew that it was a member of the Red Blood Gang, and they just thought it was a fight between gangs. Seeing that no innocent civilian casualties were caused, they were not very willing to pay attention to it, and directly asked the Red Blood Gang to The people from the Blood Gang came to take it back.
"I'm asking you a question! Are all of them mute?" Seeing that no one answered his question, Hong Jiu's tone became more serious, and his body emitted quite stressful psychic fluctuations.
The little boss in the meeting hall heard Hong Jiu's tone worsening and knew that the anger in his boss's heart was rising rapidly. If he didn't speak up again, he would definitely be scolded.
It was early in the morning, and no one wanted to be scolded, so the little bosses all turned their attention to the man sitting on a chair to the right of Hong Jiu.
This man is in his thirties, with a medium build and a square face. He has a bookish aura about him and looks out of place with other people in the meeting hall.
This man's name is Fang Jingtang, and he was a scholar before joining the Red Blood Gang.
Although he is not as good as anyone present in terms of force, his management and accounting skills are very strong. He manages the Red Blood Gang in an orderly manner and calculates every day's accounts clearly. He is a rare talent.
As the leader of the Scarlet Blood Gang, Hong Jiu has no shortage of thugs, so he values talents like Fang Jingtang very much and will seek Fang Jingtang’s views and opinions on many issues.
Moreover, when Hong Jiu was about to get angry, Fang Tangjing also became a group of small leaders of the Red Blood Gang who wanted to be scolded. The only person who needed help was that he was the only one who could make the angry gang leader Calm down.
"Cough."
Just as Hong Jiu's anger continued to rise, Fang Jingtang coughed slightly when he received the look asking for help.
Then, he turned to look at Hong Jiu, who was about to get angry, and said, "Gang leader, calm down first. Without witnesses, it will take some time to investigate to find out the murderer.
䱱Give them some time and they will be able to find the murderer."
The little bosses heard Fang Jingtang. He opened his mouth and immediately echoed, "Gang leader, please give us some time. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will find the guy who killed our brother."
"Okay, I'll give you three days. , No matter life or death, we must find that bastard who humiliated our Red Blood Gang," Hong Jiu said, suppressing the anger in his heart.
He hasn't been this angry for more than ten years. Since he defeated a rival gang that competed with him for this dock ten years ago, no one has dared to mess with their Red Blood Gang.
Now, someone actually dared to disturb Tai Sui and killed two members of the Red Blood Gang at once. This was simply a slap in Hong Jiu's face.
Actually, Hong Jiu didn't care about the life or death of the two minions.
What he cares more about is that people from other gangs will laugh at him after this incident spreads.
It’s a joke to say that the members of the Red Blood Gang were killed without any explanation. They didn’t even know who the murderer was.
"Yes, within three days, we will definitely find the murderer..." The little leaders of the Red Blood Gang nodded and agreed in unison.
They are thinking in their minds at this moment. After this meeting is over, they will immediately send out their subordinates to investigate with all their strength who killed the members of their gang.
After Hong Jiu finished explaining the matter, he raised his hand and said, "The meeting is dismissed."
And just when the small leaders of the Red Blood Gang were about to leave the meeting hall, there was a A gangster boy approached the meeting hall and reported.
“To report to the gang leader, I picked up a letter on my way to the toilet. It said that this letter was written to the gang leader...”
The younger brother said, While showing the letter in his hand to everyone present, the envelope indeed said "Collected by Gang Leader Hong".
However, the writing on this envelope is too ugly and crooked. Looking at the person who wrote it, it seems that he has no education.
Of course, the only educated people present were Hong Jiu and Fang Jingtang. The others were not very educated, so except for them, the other little bosses didn't feel ugly when they looked at the crooked words on the envelope.
Hong Jiu generally would not take the initiative to contact such letters from unknown sources.
“Bring it to me for a look.” Fang Jingtang took the initiative to greet this young man without Hong Jiu’s need to signal.
After Fang Jingtang got the letter, he opened it in front of everyone, took out the letter paper inside, and browsed it quickly.
"Eh!!!"
There wasn't much on the letter. Fang Jingtang read it all in a short while. After reading the content on the letter, he couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.
"What's wrong?" Hong Jiu asked, "What's written on it?"
"Gang leader, the person who wrote the letter claimed that he had inadvertently witnessed the whole body of the murderer who killed us. During the process, he knew where the murderer lived now and wrote the murderer's address on the letter." Fang Jingtang said.
"What? Is there such a thing?" The little bosses originally thought that after the meeting was over, they would send their younger brothers to find the murderer. Unexpectedly, someone came to the door to inform them, which made them They were all very surprised.
"Bring it to me and take a look." Hong Jiu reached out and took the letter from Fang Jingtang and looked at the words written on it. It was really crooked and ugly.
After he finished reading, he handed the letter in his hand to others for circulation.
"What a nosy guy, I'm going to twist his head off." A grumpy little leader of the Red Blood Gang cursed after reading what was written in the letter.
Other little bosses immediately followed suit, and for a while, the quiet meeting hall was filled with obscenities.
Hong Jiu frowned, raised his right hand, and signaled his men to be quiet. Seeing the actions of their gang leader's hands, the little bosses immediately shut their mouths, but the anger on their faces did not subside.
In their opinion, didn’t their two brothers just rob a woman? What's the big deal? He dared to beat them to death. He was really brave.
"Mr. Fang, what do you think of the content of this letter?" Hong Jiu asked Fang Jingtang.
He did not immediately believe a letter from an unknown source. After all, he had been on the road for so many years and finally survived. With his current achievements, he was not a reckless person.
“Gang Leader, it’s impossible to judge whether this letter is true or false. However, since this letter has specified the murderer’s address, we can just send someone to verify it. It won’t take much time anyway. "Fang Jingtang said.
"Yes." Hong Jiu nodded, that was exactly what he meant, so he glanced at his men. Without him having to speak, the angry-looking little bosses rushed to recommend themselves one by one.
"Gang leader, leave this matter to me! Let me go find that guy to check."
"Let me do it. I haven't moved my hands and feet for a while. Very itchy.”
"Let me do it! I haven't moved my hands and feet for a longer time than you."
"Stop arguing, let me do this. After all, these two dead brothers are me The people under my hands.”
Everyone's eyes fell on the bald man sitting in the corner of the meeting hall.
This bald man has a thick build, big shoulders and a round waist, and his eyes are bloodshot. He obviously didn't sleep well last night.
At this moment, with a gloomy look on his face, he looked at the two dead people lying on the ground in the meeting hall.
The little bosses originally wanted to show off in front of the gang leader, but now they are all quiet.
After all, everyone said that the deceased was his, so it was obviously the most reasonable thing to leave this matter to him. It would be disrespectful for others to fight for it.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you have to confirm that the other party is indeed the murderer before taking action.
Also, judging from the injuries on their bodies, the murderer has a certain degree of cultivation. As a practitioner, please bring some good hands with you..." Hong Jiu said.
"Yes, Gang Leader." The tall, bald man with a round waist nodded, showing some psychic energy fluctuations on his body.
Hong Jiu saw that Fang Jingtang seemed to have something to say, so he said, "Mr. Fang, do you have anything to explain?"
"After confirming that the other party is the murderer, don't Do it in a crowded place. After all, Zhou Tianci, the young master of the Zhou family, was beaten up in the street before. The thug has not been found yet, and it caused quite a scene.
Now the Yamen has sent us a message to keep ourselves safe for a month, so once you do something in public, it will be very detrimental to us. "Fang Jingtang reminded.
"Did you hear that? Mr. Fang’s reminder should be kept in mind, and you should not act impulsively in front of a group of passers-by. "Hong Jiu said to the bald man with big shoulders and round waist.
"Gang leader, Mr. Fang, please don't worry. I will keep this in mind and will not cause trouble to the gang or let people from the yamen come to my door. . "The tall and round bald man replied seriously.
Afterwards, everyone who participated in the meeting left the meeting hall.
After the big and round bald man came out of the meeting hall, he immediately called He picked up several cultivators and headed towards the inn where the suspected murderer lived
Behind a leafy tree on the street, a tall, bald man walked out from behind the tree.
He looked at the tall, round-waisted bald man leading his little brother in the direction he was leaving, with an expression on his face that he was watching a good show.
Afterwards, he thought about it and decided to go back first and tell his elder brother about it.
…………
In an inn in the east of the city, a figure appeared out of thin air in the guest room.
Lin Li, who was wearing a gray training uniform, took off his sunglasses and put them into the mysterious island.
After walking out of the guest room, Lin Li went to the door of the guest room next door, reached out and knocked on the door.
“Dong dong dong.”
Not long after the knock on the door, I heard footsteps coming from the guest room.
“Who is it!”
The woman in the guest room came to the door. She didn't open the door immediately, but asked cautiously.
Lin Li could understand Qin Muqing's caution. After all, he had encountered such a dangerous robbery before, and normal people would have this reaction.
"It's me."
Qin Muqing heard the familiar voice and quickly pulled the door latch and opened the door.
“Benefactor.”
After opening the door, Qin Muqing quickly stepped aside and invited Lin Li into the room.
"I won't go in. I came to you to tell you that I want to go out and look for a house." Lin Li said.
"Yeah." Qin Muqing nodded.
Lin Li looked at this ordinary-looking, honest and dull woman and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet!" Qin Muqing said softly.
"You've already ordered this, haven't you eaten yet? You must have been up for a while, right?"
"Yes."
"..." Lin Li was silent for a few seconds, thinking about this woman He must be too embarrassed to ask the waiter to order.
"Hey..."
Lin Li sighed in his heart, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? For dinner or something, you can just call the waiter.
Remember, only when you are full can you have the strength to work. After I find a house, there are a lot of housework for you to do at home, so you have to eat well.
Besides, if you should eat, don’t save it for me. I don’t need that little money. "
"Hmm. "Qin Muqing nodded.
Lin Li saw that this honest and dull woman seemed to have listened to what he said, so he stopped nagging and left a message to ask the waiter to bring her a breakfast later. , and then left.
The honest and dull woman looked at Lin Li who was leaving and disappeared at the top of the stairs, and she looked back
After closing the door, the woman's dull look disappeared in an instant, and her eyes were filled with vivid colors.
