Wang Tiecheng fell into deep thought after Ding An and his party left, wondering what the official officer's words meant. Could it be that he was deceived by Huang Liang and Hu Shun? His little trouble was nothing in the eyes of the government. They had no intention of arresting him at all, but it was true that they wanted to arrest Huang Liang and Hu Shun!
Thinking about it carefully, didn't I just want to steal something but failed? Those ghosts that caused people to behead people were instigated by Huang Liang and others from the beginning to the end. They had nothing to do with Wang Tiecheng, so the two bastards hid and left themselves here to be carried by them. Fortunately, I met this official today, otherwise I would really have thought that I would be like them, and would be beheaded if I accepted it!
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He wished he could go to the official and report Huang Liang and Hu Shun right now. Damn it, he was playing tricks on his grandfather!
Wang Tiecheng stood up from the kang as soon as he was erect. When his head got hot, he put on a coat and went out of his courtyard. Just a few steps out, a gust of cold wind hit him, which not only made the pile of firewood beside him rattle. The sound also woke him up.
It occurred to me that all the officials had left, and I didn’t know where they were now. Maybe they had all returned to the county seat. Where could I go to look for him in the middle of the night? After all, I was still waiting for my son alone. Come to the door and spare those two brats for two days!
Wang Tiecheng tightened his coat, ran back to his yard, and went back to his house to sleep soundly. Little did he know that two officials who were watching him near his house were shaken by him, and they cursed in their hearts.
In the middle of the night, Ding An and another detective came to change shifts and asked about the news about the Wang family: "Is there any special situation?"
"When night fell, that kid came out, but after just a few steps out of the courtyard, he turned back again. I don't know what he was doing!"
Ding An actually went to Wang's house yesterday afternoon on purpose to scare others. It was Wang Tiecheng who was beaten, but Huang Liang and Hu Shun who were shocked. As long as they became suspicious of each other, the case would be solved.
But Wang Tiecheng's behavior last night made people a little confused. Could it be that Wang Tiecheng was just pretending to be stupid on the surface, but secretly testing whether he had sent someone to follow him?
Early the next morning, Wang Tiecheng changed his recent habit and got up early to go out. Wang was so frightened that he quickly grabbed him: "Tiecheng, what are you going to do? Didn't the Hu family say that recently? To avoid the limelight, you can only hide at home and go out as little as possible, otherwise it will be a serious crime of beheading? All the officials came to the house yesterday, why don't you stop?"
"Oh, Mom! We have tricked those two bastards from the Hu family. Otherwise, the official came to our door yesterday. Why didn't they arrest me and take me away!"
"What? Were you deceived?"
"Don't worry, Mom. Nothing is going on in our family. You and the old man should go out and do whatever you need to do! I've been really depressed these days and I have to go play some games. , you don’t have to wait for me for lunch, and by the way, mother-in-law, don’t tell the old man about my going to the gambling house!"
After Wang Tiecheng said that, he walked out the door without looking back and went straight to Zhu Laoshan's casino. Not far away, another group of official servants saw him going out and quickly followed him.
Maybe it’s because he hasn’t been to the gambling table for several days and has accumulated a lot of character, maybe because he knows that he has just been fooled, and people are in high spirits during happy events. In short, Wang Tiecheng’s luck was particularly good today, and he played in the casino until the sun was about to go down. , just walked out of the casino happily, but he didn't know that even the officials who were following him had changed.
Soon Wang Tiecheng disappeared for a few days and suddenly made a high-profile return. The news of killing everyone in Zhu Laoshan's gambling house spread among the nearby gamblers. Not only that, but also the people who had been hiding secretly for several days. Huang Liang and Hu Shun both heard the news.
"Cousin, that bad gambler Wang Tiecheng must have sold us out, right? My sister said that officials went to his house yesterday, but not only did they not arrest him, but his family also started to go out in a big way today, and Wang Tiecheng is even more It’s a big gamble at a gambling house, there’s something wrong with this!”
After nightfall today, Hu Shun quietly sneaked to the foot of the mountain behind the hiding place as usual, and waited in the woods for his married sister to deliver food for the next few days. He also learned about the recent situation outside, and the result was from his sister's mouth. Knowing Wang Tiecheng's abnormality, he became increasingly panicked and worried.
This is also the reason why Chu Ping and others, as well as the previous group of officials, stared at the Hu family and did not find the hiding place of Hu Shun and Huang Liang. Huang Liang was afraid that someone was watching the Hu family, so he arranged for Hu Shun to have The married sister secretly brings them some food every now and then.
After hearing what Hu Shun said, Huang Liang also became suspicious. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster: "Wang Tiecheng had better be honest to me and don't make any mistakes, otherwise I won't be able to escape." , I will give him a backstop even if I die!"
"Cousin, don't talk about whether you will die or not. Let's think about what to do first! Haven't all the officials arrested the Chu family? Why are you here to check that Wang Tiecheng is here again? When will this end? We always We can’t just keep hiding like this!”
"Do you think I'm willing to stay in this dark cellar all day long and freeze? Stop talking nonsense and ask your sister to tell my family that we need to pay more attention recently and don't really fall for the bad gambler Wang Tiecheng. Son!"
Wang Tiecheng had a great time at the gambling house yesterday, and this morning he got up and went straight to the gambling house, intending to gamble on him for another day, but he didn't know what was going on today, he had no luck at all, and he was bound to lose. He said that before noon, he had lost all the gains he had won yesterday, including the profits.
With no money in his hand, the resentment in Wang Tiecheng's heart emerged again. He blamed the Hu family. If they hadn't deceived him and stayed at home for so long, how could they have become so unfamiliar in less than half a day? His grandma lost everything!
He also thought about how Huang and Hu had threatened him before. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had to make them pay some price. All the money he lost today must be paid back to me!
Wang Tiecheng thought and walked out of the back door of the gambling house that was not well known to outsiders, and went straight to the hiding place of Huang and Hu. Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. He had really itchy hands a while ago. , he sneaked out after dark, fearing that he would be bumped into, so he walked along the path between the back of the village house and the forest at the foot of the mountain, towards the back door of the gambling house. Who would have thought that so late at night, he would actually Let him bump into someone else!
Looking at the other party from a distance, he saw what seemed to be a woman carrying a big package. Wang Tiecheng thought he had bumped into someone's daughter-in-law eloping, so he wanted to follow him to have a look, but he bumped into Hu Shun who came to pick up something. By the way, The hiding place of the two men was also discovered.
It turned out to be the abandoned courtyard behind Zhutun Village. Behind the courtyard was the forest at the foot of the mountain. It was not far from the home of Hu Shun's married sister-in-law, and it was even closer to the back door of Zhu Laoshan's gambling house. !
Wang Tiecheng quickly climbed over the dilapidated backyard wall of the yard and walked around the yard twice. He didn't see the figures of Huang Liang and Hu Shun, let alone people. The yard was so deserted and dirty. It didn't look like anyone had been here recently.
I was wondering, maybe I made a mistake because it was too dark that day? He vaguely heard some movement at the other end of the kitchen, as if something was being pushed on the ground. Wang Tiecheng braved it and ran to check, and happened to see Hu Shun coming out of the cellar, ready to urinate!
Hu Shun was crawling out, and suddenly he felt that the light above his head seemed to be blocked by something. When he raised his head, a big face appeared directly in front of him. Hu Shun screamed in fright and fell back under the cellar.
Wang Tiecheng was also startled by the unexpected situation in front of him. He looked at the dark cellar entrance where Hu Shun fell and hesitated to go down. While he was struggling, Huang Liang climbed up again with Hu Shun, who was limping from the fall.
"Wang Tiecheng? How the hell did you find this?"
When Wang Tiecheng saw that the person he was looking for came up on his own initiative, he didn't have to worry about whether to go down or not. He instantly became hardened again: "Humph! I already knew that you two were hiding here, so you really took it seriously. How well hidden it is!”
Hu Shun rubbed his sore buttocks and said angrily to Wang Tiecheng: "You are so damn disobedient that you are hiding at home. Why are you here to scare me?"
"You're hiding at home? What are you hiding from? I haven't done any fucking crime at all. Why are you waiting at home to take the blame for you two bastards? I'm telling you, Hu, you guys can't fucking fool me anymore! My ex-errand official is already here I've been to my house before, but I'm still standing here. Let me tell you, the officials already know that it was you two who did it. They came to me just to catch you. They also said that as long as they catch you two, Everything else is trivial!"
After hearing Wang Tiecheng's arrogant words, Huang Liang couldn't help but be a little confused. He already knew where he was going, but why didn't he tell the official and instead came here by himself?
"Stop being such a bastard, tell me, what do you want to do today?"
"Boss Huang, you are the smarter one. I'm thinking carefully. If I tell the official where you are, it won't be of any benefit to me. Why don't Boss Huang give me some money? This will benefit me, both of you." It’s also safe, isn’t it the best of both worlds!”
Huang Liang laughed angrily at Wang Tiecheng's shameless look. He was such a lousy gambler. All he could see in his eyes was gambling and money!
"How much do you want?"
"One hundred, ah no, five hundred taels!"
"Wang Tiecheng, you are so fucking crazy! Five hundred taels, why don't you go and grab it!" Hu Shun wanted to tear this shameless person apart!
Wang Tiecheng consciously took advantage of Huang and Hu, and continued to threaten: "I was deceived so miserably by you, shouldn't I be compensated? If you don't think it's too much, then you can talk to the official!"
Huang Liang stared at Wang Tiecheng steadily for a long time, and then said again: "Okay! But how can I believe that after you receive the money, you won't turn around and sell us two brothers again? I can give you five hundred taels, but you damn You have to sign and pledge it to me!"
"Cousin, are you crazy?"
"Life is important, money is important!"
Wang Tiecheng didn't expect that the money could be obtained so easily. He was excited and a little regretful at the same time. If he had known it, he would have ordered more: "Sign, just sign!"
"Come on, the money, paper and pen are all down there." After Huang Liang said this, he ignored Hu Shun, who was jumping up and down alone, and Wang Tiecheng, who was proud of himself, and went down to the cellar on their own.
Wang Tiecheng grinned and then followed suit.
In the afternoon, Ding An and other detectives rushed over to meet the two people who were watching. They stood outside the gambling house and did not intend to hide. Anyway, today was the day of the appointment with Wang Tiecheng, so they simply Wait for him here.
But after waiting and waiting, seeing that the agreed time was getting closer and closer, Wang Tiecheng still didn't come out of the gambling house. Ding An gradually lost his patience, so he sent two men in to arrest Wang Tiecheng. What is more important is the fact that Wang Tiecheng is not in the gambling house and is missing!
