As soon as Qian Qianhu said these words, Ye Wuxian's attention was immediately attracted by them, and he listened carefully with his brows furrowed, for fear of missing important details.
Zhou Xian also frowned and said, "Luo Fanxi? But Luo Fanxi, the tea merchant in Anhua County?"
Qian Qianhu said: "The surname Luo is rare, and the name Fanxi is even rarer. If it's not Luo Fanxi in Anhua County, who else can it be?"
Zhou Xian frowned and said: "I heard rumors a while ago that Luo Fanxi is dead. Well, the governor needs clues about a dead person, so what's the use?"
Qian Qianhu looked at him sideways and said with a smile: "How can I know his thoughts? I'm not the roundworm in his belly."
But after being silent for a while, he still said something he already knew: "Liu Feng told me that the governor had obtained the promise of a certain big shot in the capital to find clues about Luo Fanxi. . If the clues can be successfully obtained and informed, the big shot in the capital will open up the connection and promote the governor to the position of governor of the North Town Fusi of Jinyiwei.
After the governor got the promise, he promised me that if I could capture Zhang Daqiu, I could be promoted with him and serve in the capital. At first, I just thought it was a cake drawn by the governor, and that the matter of promotion was nothing more than a flower in the water and the moon in the mirror. But Liu Feng actually named that big shot. In this way, even if I didn't believe in promotion, I wouldn't dare to offend that big shot easily. "
At this point, he groaned bitterly, looked back at Ye Wumian, and said, "Only because of this, I spared this thief's life!"
Ye Wumian listened with rapt attention. He was not angry when Qian Qianhu glared at him, but he just found it quite amusing.
He thought to himself: "No wonder you didn't kill me. It was because someone important wanted me. The idea of revenge for your son is no match for the temptation of promotion."
Zhou Xian nodded. As smart as he was, of course he would not ask who the "big shot in the capital" mentioned by Qian Qianhu was, nor would he ask Luo Fanxi what the clues were. How could he arouse the interest of the big shot in the capital? .
He just said: "From the Nanjing Governor, he was promoted to the Capital Governor, and he is also the most powerful North Town Governor. No wonder the Governor is so crazy... Haha, I want to capture this person alive so much. Thieves."
Suddenly, he remembered that Qian Qianhu even refused to avenge the murder of his son in order to be promoted. Such behavior was even crazier than that of a governor.
So he quickly changed the subject and said: "Qian Qianhu, the problem is, if you want clues about Luo Fan Xi, why bother to get the big ball? I heard from my humble position that Luo Fan Xi has a lot of friends and a lot of old acquaintances. Let's grab them casually. Wouldn’t it be enough if a few of them came to interrogate me?”
Qian Qianhu asked back: "Catch a few of them for questioning? Are the clues obtained through such questioning worthy of the big shot in Beijing's promise of promotion?"
Zhou Xian looked like he had suddenly awakened, nodded wildly and said: "This is really enlightening for me. Zhang Daqiu must have special clues about Luo Fanxi in his hands, which is why he is so valued by that big shot."
Qian Qianhu looked up at the sky and said: "Although you are a salty fish, your understanding is quite good. As you said, Zhang Daqiu may have important and special clues about Luo Fan Creek."
"Maybe...maybe?" Zhou Xian struggled, "It's just 'unnecessary', why spend so much effort on deploying troops and generals?"
Qian Qianhu glanced at him and said, "Isn't 'unfounded' enough? Even Prince Yue died for this crime, let alone a thief?"
He did not shy away and patiently explained to Zhou Baihu: "Of course, in order to avoid wasting our efforts, we sent someone in advance to forge Luo Fanxi's handwriting, imitate his writing tone, and wrote a letter to This thief. If this thief comes to contact the so-called Manager Wu as stated in the letter, we can be 100% sure that Zhang Daqiu must have the important clue to Luo Fan Creek.
In this way, we captured this bandit under the pretext of suppressing bandits during the meeting. At the same time, it can also prevent the thief from confusing the public by claiming later that he does not know the clue. "
Qian Qianhu pointed at Ye Wumian coldly and said, "If that were not the case, how could this bandit be worth so many of us? Cao Baihu, who was sent undercover in advance, could kill him with several thousand kilograms of explosives secretly transported to Chencang. The Black Elk Gang was directly razed to the ground."
After saying that, a person next to him suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Qian Qianhu is absolutely right! Cao has been undercover in the Black Elk Gang for a long time, and has even become one of the Thirteen Taibao. And using this identity, he defrauded hundreds of people. He was a little guy working up and down, carrying explosives up the mountain, digging his own grave. Now that I think about it, I still find it funny!"
Ye Wumian secretly looked at Cao Baihu, and when he saw his appearance, although he had changed into the attire of the Jin Yiwei Baihu, it was not difficult to recognize him as one of the thirteen minions Taibao whom he had personally appointed before.
Zhou Xian showed admiration on his face, raised his hands to Qian Qianhu and said: "Qian Qianhu is tall, really tall. I can't think of your plan even if I think about it with ten brains."
Qian Qianhu stroked his short beard with a very proud expression.
After walking in silence for a while, Cao Baihu suddenly asked: "Qian Qianhu, now that you know who the big shot in Beijing is, and this thief is also in our hands, why don't you just bypass Yingtian's governor?" Your Majesty, would you like to send Thief Zhang directly to Shuntian? Or, it's not impossible to first ask Thief Zhang for clues about Luo Fan Xi and then go straight to tell the big shot.
In this case, haha, you might be the one to take the position of governor of Beizhen, right? Bros? "
Cao Baihu turned around and asked for consensus from other colleagues.
As a result, everyone else looked at him as if he were a fool, and no one said anything in agreement. Zhou Xian even winked and shook his head at him, and Cao Baihu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, when he saw Qian Qianhu's face again, his face was so heavy that it could crush the horse under him.
"Idiot!" Qian Qianhu halted his horse's head and said fiercely, "Although the governor is only half a rank higher than me, he is also one of his superiors. It is a taboo of my Jin Yiwei to bypass his superiors and act without permission to seek rewards. !”
After a pause, he asked: "Cao Baihu, could it be that you have been an undercover bandit for a while, and you are so involved in the drama that you are used to it, and you have forgotten all the rules of my Jin Yiwei?"
Cao Baihu was shocked and turned pale. He quickly rolled off his horse and found a place that would not affect the march of others. He knelt down and said: "I made a mistake in my humble position. I made a mistake in my humble position. I am begging for money from thousands of households. Please forgive me!"
Qian Qianhu seemed not to let him go easily. He looked at him with a face so cold that it could make the air freeze and said: "My boss assigned me a task at Qianhu Office. If you, Cao Baihu, complete it first, will you have to bypass someone?" , go to your superiors to ask for a reward?"
Cao Baihu was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I know I'm wrong!"
