Hiding in the ruined temple, Tang Bailing was a little worried. If he had really fought with Mu Zi just now, his identity would have been exposed. His guess was correct. The traitor was indeed related to Mu Zi, and it was obvious that Mu Zi wanted to kill the traitor.
Tan Wushuang asked: "Sister Mu, who is that woman?"
Tang Bailing looked at her carelessly: "A killer... In order not to cause trouble, he didn't fight her."
"What about that woman later?"
Speaking of the woman wearing a power fence later, Tang Bailing was filled with doubts: Judging from her body shape and movement, that woman should be Li Fenglan... But, what was she doing in Jiujiang? If she comes here, does it mean that Jade and Amber are also here? If they all come, it will be even more dangerous once their identity is exposed.
Tang Bailing shook his head: "I don't know... maybe it's a group."
"Then what should we do now?"
"If the person living in that house now has something to do with Penaka, then this clue is broken. Find someone else."
Now she doesn't dare to leave Jiujiang at will. She is afraid that Li Fenglan will come into contact with Mu Zi, so she wants to stay and wait and see what happens.
…
Li Fenglan did not choose to chase "Mu Zi" and Tan Wushuang, but secretly followed Mu Zi.
Judging from her current reaction, she should be chasing Mu Zi and Tan Wushuang. As for how the two met and what caused the conflict, I don't know.
After following for more than an hour, I gained nothing.
Seeing that he could not catch up with the two men, Mu Zi threw away the stick, found a ferry and left. After boarding the boat, Li Fenglan couldn't continue to follow, so she had to go back to the noodle shop first.
When I arrived at the door of the noodle shop, I saw the water sign at the door saying: Today’s special dish, boiled donkey meat.
Look at the horse-tying post at the door, and there is no sign of Mr. Donkey anywhere.
Li Fenglan trembled and rushed into the noodle shop.
"Xiao Er! Xiao Er!"
"Here comes your guest!...Girl, it's you!"
Li Fenglan quickly asked: "Where is my donkey?!"
"I thought you were eating the King's meal, so I detained the donkey."
"where?!"
"Where's the backyard?"
I hurriedly ran to the backyard and saw that Mr. Donkey had been hung up with his limbs tied up, and a wooden stick was stuffed in his mouth, probably to prevent him from barking. The chef on the side had just sharpened his knife and was about to stab him in the neck.
Li Fenglan quickly shouted: "Leave the donkey behind the knife!"
The chef was stunned when he saw a pretty girl in green standing behind him and staring at him.
The waiter said to the cook: "Brother-in-law, don't kill me, he's back."
The cook looked disappointed: "I was thinking we could research new dishes."
After saying that, he and the waiter put the donkey down together and untied the rope.
Li Fenglan said viciously from the side: "Don't you have brains? My donkey is still here, can I eat your overlord meal? How much does your bowl of noodles cost? Do you know what my aunt's donkey is?"
The cook wondered: "Isn't it just a donkey?"
"Fart! My aunt, this donkey is called Qianli Maoxingte! It's a magical donkey! If something goes wrong, I won't even be able to compensate you by selling your noodle shop!"
Li Fenglan has been with this donkey for so long, and they have developed feelings for each other. This donkey used to be dissatisfied with Zhu Mingyu because Zhu Mingyu, a powerful man, was too heavy and he was not willing to carry it on his back. Li Fenglan has a slender figure, and it is much easier to carry her than Zhu Mingyu. And since Li Fenglan learned how to use a whip, it really hurts when whipped.
The donkey that was put down turned over and stood up. He hid behind Li Fenglan and began to wipe his tears. This beast also knew that it was a good thing and understood that he almost became a side dish of Meng Po's soup just now.
While Li Fenglan smoothed the donkey's hair, she glared at the waiter and the cook.
"Girl, look at...this money?"
"Bring me another bowl of noodles, and we'll pay the bill together later... Also, feed me the donkey. I've suffered so much from you."
"Okay, let's take him to the stable."
After being cold faced, Li Fenglan found out
I swear, even if the sky falls, she will have to finish the noodles first. She was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and after running for more than an hour just now, she was so hungry that she had acid reflux.
After having a delicious meal, I felt the pleasure of eating in Amber.
When checking out, the waiter smiled and asked, "Girl, how do we do here?"
After eating, Li Fenglan's temper improved a lot, and she replied with a smile: "It's pretty good, but if I bring another girl to your place for dinner one day, you must tell her about the cold-faced fairy. "
"That's no problem."
"By the way, little brother, I want to ask you something."
"You asked."
"Are there any water bandits here?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter was smart and hurriedly made a silent gesture.
Li Fenglan was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
The waiter lowered his voice and said, "Girl, I don't want to ask this."
"Why can't you ask? Are there water bandits here?"
The waiter looked at the street and saw that no one was looking into the store, so he whispered: "Our place is called Shuangye Village. There are not many locals in Jiujiang. They are all outsiders who come here to make a living. This place is the most mixed up, you know?" It’s better to be careful what you say.”
Li Fenglan took out five taels of silver from her purse and put it on the table and said, "Open it and tell me. If I am willing to listen, these are all yours."
The waiter was still a little embarrassed, but in the end, the desire for money defeated his reason.
He happily sat down and said to Li Fenglan: "Girl, look at you...hehe, Cheng, let me tell you. Our village, the village next door, and the village to the south, our three villages, are nothing. The locals...let's put it this way, there are 1,400 people in the three villages, and more than 600...are water bandits."
Li Fenglan was shocked.
"There are so many water bandits...doesn't anyone care about them?"
"Hey, how do you manage it? Usually when there is business at the dock, they work as coolies and resist the contract. You can't starve to death when there is no business, right? Sometimes there are floods upstream and downstream, and there is no ship for several months. There has to be a way out, right? ?」
"So these people are coolies when they are alive, and water bandits when they are not alive?"
"right."
"There are so many rivers here, so there should be serious water bandits, right?"
The waiter nodded: "There are several groups of water bandits on Poyang Lake. There were eighteen groups more than ten years ago, but now there are only six groups left."
"Why is there so much missing?"
"They've all been annexed," the waiter's voice became even lower when he said this. "There was a battle among the water bandits a few years ago, and hundreds of people died. In the past two or three months, I can still occasionally go to the river. We picked up corpses while we were there. The water bandits beat each other very hard."
"Well, have you ever heard of a water bandit named Xu Zhenbiao?"
"No."
"Of these six water bandits, which one is the most powerful?"
"Jiulian Bay Jiulian Village, they are the most powerful right now. However, they rarely rob homes and houses. They rely on collecting protection fees from passing merchant ships."
"Okay, I understand, I'll reward you with money... Also, do you have an inn here?"
"Yes, there is one on the corner of the street. It is quite safe and suitable for a solitary girl like you."
Li Fenglan took out another five taels of silver and said, "I'll keep this donkey with you for now. Remember to take care of it. If there is even one hair missing, be careful that my aunt will settle the score with you."
"Auntie, why don't you count the donkey hairs first?"
…
Of course Li Fenglan understands the principle of not exposing wealth, but just now she still deliberately exposed her full purse. The waiter in the shop didn't have any bad intentions, but Li Fenglan could tell from his words that he had a big mouth. It shouldn't take long for word to spread around the area about meeting a single woman who spends a lot of money.
She needs to get in touch with real water bandits in order to carry out her plan.
