Chapter 48: Old Dry Smoke(1/2)
The next day, in the morning.
Dongdongdong...
A sound of drums suddenly spread throughout the three halls, and the drum sound was regular, two long and one short.
"This is a gathering order!"
"It must be something big!"
"Hurry, hurry up and gather in the big square!"
At this moment, everyone was shocked and hurriedly dressed neatly, running towards the main square.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded throughout the three halls.
"Master Kui, we're gathering, we're going too." Li Yongqi ran over and called Li Kui.
"knew."
Li Kui walked out the door slowly and calmly.
However, he had big steps and strong legs. He seemed to be walking calmly, but it gave people the feeling that he was difficult to catch up with by strode.
Li Yongqi followed him ten people, and all had to trot to keep up.
Soon, the group came to the square.
A high platform was built on the square.
Yan Dafeng stood on the platform with a solemn expression on his face.
The deputy hall master Xiang Lei did not show up.
Li Kui walked under the platform and found that there were eight other third-level cadres who had reached five, including Huang Youming.
"Here, Mr. Kui."
Huang Youming nodded with a smile.
Li Kui nodded and looked at him. He found that there were many people standing behind Huang Youming, and the team was very long and there were many people.
The same is true for the other four third-level cadres, which are very scheming.
Only Li Kui, there are only ten people behind him.
"Brother Huang, do you know why you gather?"
Li Kui asked casually.
"I don't know." Huang Youming shrugged and whispered, "I'm wondering too. Early in the morning, everyone was summoned, and it was a big battle."
The third-level cadre next to him nodded: "Yes, it's been a long time since there's such a big fight."
Huang Youming sighed: "Things are definitely small. We will be careful later and don't make mistakes."
While talking, the assembly was completed.
Yan Dafeng looked at the stage, and all nine third-level cadres were present and ranked in nine teams.
Liquina is particularly eye-catching and too short.
"Everyone, we received a report about an hour ago and found four bodies in Laohuaishu Lane."
Yan Dafeng said loudly.
"Hey, it's Old Locust Tree Lane again!"
"That alley was haunted not long ago, wasn't it burned out?"
"Yes, where did the four corpses come from?"
Everyone started to buzz and talk.
Seeing this, Yan Dafeng frowned and pressed his hands.
The world suddenly became quiet.
"The identities of the four deceased have been confirmed. They are from the third halls of our Iron Sha Gang." Yan Dafeng announced in a deep voice.
Wow!
Everyone was immediately in an uproar.
"Cao, who dares to kill the people from our three halls?"
"No matter who the murderer is, I will tear the other party to pieces."
"It's right, blood debts and blood payments!"
They gritted their teeth, were filled with righteous indignation, and shared the same hatred of the enemy.
Huang Youming looked around and asked Li Kui and others: "I have many subordinates, where are you?"
Li Kui: "It's all there."
Other three-level cadres: "All of them are there, one is not one."
For a moment, nine third-level cadres looked at each other. Everyone was here, so who was dead?
Huang Youming stood up and bowed to the high platform, saying, "The third master, I wonder which four brothers were killed?"
Yan Dafeng said slowly: "The four brothers killed are... Xiang Qing and his four confidants."
"Xiang Qing?"
"Sight the nephew of the deputy hall master!"
Huang Youming was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other person.
The other party was wearing a simple gray dress and was quite graceful. It was Zhao Tongli who was planning to rise to power.
At this time, Zhao Tongli also had a surprised expression on his face, very surprised.
Yan Dafeng said in a deep voice: "Secretary Master Xiang has already rushed to Laohuaishu Lane first, so I will rush over now.
As for you, set out immediately, block all roads, and prohibit anyone from leaving our territory, only entering and not leaving, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone clasped their fists forward in unison, and then nine third-level cadres led their respective men and acted in a mighty manner.
Li Kui has only ten subordinates, so he symbolically participates.
...
...
...
Old locust tree alley.
Xiang Lei, dressed in white, stood in front of the overturned carriage, looking at a corpse on the ground, his face gloomy as if water was about to drip out.
At this time, one of his subordinates ran over quickly and whispered: "Assistant Master, I've invited me."
Xiang Lei quickly turned his head and looked at the entrance of the alley, and saw an old man wearing a felt hat walking slowly.
The old man had a little hunched figure, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a pipe of dry tobacco on his waist.
It was almost summer and the dungeon was already a bit stuffy, but the old man was wearing a thick cotton jacket.
Xiang Lei bowed and said, "I have seen the detective 'Old Drought Tobacco'. I have heard of your old name for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet you."
Lao Hanyan put down the bamboo basket, panted, pounded his back, and said expressionlessly: "It is best if you and I have no chance to meet. Humph, everyone who sees me is unfortunate."
After hearing this, Xiang Lei was tense and lowered his head and said, "Please help from the detective to find out who the murderer was the one who killed my nephew."
"No hurry, no hurry."
Lao Hantian waved his hand and squatted on the ground. He slowly took off the tobacco pipe and tobacco pipe at his waist, pulled out a pinch of tobacco leaves, placed it on the tobacco pipe, lit it, and then started smoking.
Xiang Lei was extremely impatient, but he did not dare to urge Lao Dang Tobacco.
After all, he had long heard that this old dry tobacco was as scattered as a god, but he was strange and extremely difficult to serve.
After a while, Yan Dafeng arrived in full swing, and his eyes instantly fell on Lao Hanyan.
"It turned out that the detective arrived."
Yan Dafeng showed respect on his face and walked forward and bowed solemnly.
Lao Hanyan smiled and said, "Master Three, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?"
"It's still the same."
Yan Dafeng smiled, "How are you doing? I heard that when the city lord celebrates his birthday, are you always a special guest?"
"Oh, don't mention it."
Lao Hanyan shook his head and sucked the clouds and mist speechlessly. "A good birthday party suddenly appeared, and an assassin made a mess."
Yan Dafeng took a breath.
The assassination of the city lord caused a lot of controversy in the surface city, but the people living in the dungeon were unknown and didn't care much about such things.
