Chapter 94 Hu Juncai

Xiao Jingchuan led Zhizhong and Changting to Liu's pastry shop in Yi County where they suddenly met an old friend.

"Alas, I can't take care of the matter between this scoundrel and Liu Qiao'er for now!"

"Our legitimate business now is arresting people, kidnapping hostages, and stealing money."

"Once this matter in Yi County is settled, we will capture him and interrogate him, and everything will become clear!" Xiao Lang said in a serious tone.

Qiu Zhizhong, who was standing by, was startled when he heard the words kidnapping and robbery. He glanced around quickly, fearing that others would hear it.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, Old Xiao!"

"I see that you are becoming more and more aggressive lately!"

"Can you hold yourself back a bit? We are still on the street!"

"It sounds so creepy!" Qiu Zhizhong scolded.

Xiao Jingchuan was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't think much about it and just blurted out what he said.

"Hey! Why bother with these details?"

"Besides, that's just the way it is!"

"Okay, let's go, we can't walk any longer, let's go straight to the reserved meeting point in front of Jizu's brother-in-law's house at the other end of the alley!"

"If we keep wandering around like this, we might get into trouble. It would be fun if our wandering around ruins everything!"

After saying this, Xiao Lang didn't want to stay there any longer, so he pushed Zhizhong and Changting forward.

"what!"

"I remember now. Was it the banquet in the village at the foot of Yuhu Peak?"

"It seems that there is indeed a young widow sitting at the same table with us!"

"I was telling you, Master, I saw something wrong with the way you looked at people!"

"Hey! Master, you two went to the widow's house later."

Gu Changting turned his head and said, "This idiot, his reaction arc is so long, he just figured out the reason now!"
"Oh, Master, what is that?"

"I only took a photo with this guy at the time, and he probably wouldn't recognize me."

"Why don't I go buy it!"

"To be honest, it doesn't matter if Mr. Qiu didn't say it just now. Right now, I am really a little hungry." Chang Ting continued to talk without any expression!

Xiao Jingchuan let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this!
He could no longer bear it, and kicked Gu Changting four or five steps away with a clang. Fortunately, Changting was very skilled, and he did not fall down even though he staggered.

"Eat, eat, eat! Just know how to eat!"

"Hey, why are you so rude lately?"

"Fei Yu (Qiu Zhizhong), this kid has become more and more arrogant since he has been with you for a long time since leaving Beijing!"

"You always make fun of me."

"Chang Ting, just wait for me. I'll show you how I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Xiao Lang glared, raised his hand and pointed at Chang Ting in a threatening manner.

"kindness?"

"Hey, Lao Xiao, please stop using this trick!"

"Why do you want to learn from me?"

"The upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked. You, the main beam, are always messing around and you blame me for it!"

"What goes up must come down. You should look for the reasons within yourself in everything you do!"

"Who is this?!" Qiu Zhizhong tried to distance himself from the issue by denying it.

"Hey, why are you coming full circle and coming towards me again!"

"I am upright and righteous."

"Changting, you have to learn well, don't you understand?"

"I, Xiao Jingchuan, have many strengths. You can't just focus on your weaknesses."

The three of them chatted with each other as they walked to the other end of the alley. Then they turned a corner and disappeared completely in the narrow alley.

The alley finally calmed down.
16:30 pm (: p.m.)

Xu Jizu arrived late, and Xiao Jingchuan and his three companions, who had been waiting at the entrance of his brother-in-law's house for a long time, were already impatient.

"General!" "I" Xu Jizu trotted all the way to Xiao Lang and the first word he said was "General".

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and gave a look.

Xu Jizu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and quickly changed his words.

"Oh, hi!"

"Master!"

"I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting!"

Ji Zu knew that he had made such a mistake as soon as he entered the city. Now he was scratching his head, feeling very ashamed.

"Well, never mind, it's okay!"

"How many people were brought in?" Xiao Lang lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, looking around. There were people passing through this alley from time to time, so it was always better to be careful.

"Oh, there are less than twenty people coming in, they will be here in a while!"

"The remaining batches are rushing in one after another. I'm afraid they won't be able to gather together in a short while!" Xu Jizu replied hurriedly.

"Well, in that case, then I won't wait any longer."

"Ji Zu, it's important for us to go find your brother-in-law to find out the situation first."

"Let's go. You lead the way. It's the same if we go to your brother-in-law's house and wait. There are too many people here, and it's not safe."

After Xiao Lang finished speaking, Xu Jizu nodded and accepted the order, then led everyone slowly into the alley.

After walking about a hundred steps and passing seven or eight houses, Ji Zu stopped in front of the door of an inconspicuous house.

Boom boom boom!
He knocked on the door three times, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound from inside.

Seeing the situation, Xu Jizu broke out in a sweat and thought to himself that nothing should go wrong at this critical moment. So he looked back at the general awkwardly and smiled bitterly.

clap clap clap!
Ji Zu knocked on the door again, but this time he was anxious and used all his strength, banging on it.

creak!

Everyone outside the door was surprised. It turned out that the door was not bolted from the inside at all. No one noticed it when they were weak, but now, with a sudden force, the door opened by itself!
Seeing this, Xu Jizu let out a light exclamation, but did not delay any longer. He pushed the door open and walked in, followed by everyone else.

Jizu's brother-in-law, named Hu Juncai, was a native of Yi County. His small house was also his ancestral home. It was not very big from front to back, and there were no particular arrangements of several entrances. It only had two main rooms and two miscellaneous rooms on the west side.

The yard is square and small, but it is tidy enough. When you enter the door and turn into the yard, you can see a row of bamboos planted at the foot of the wall, which adds a bit of elegance.

"Lingzi, Cui Ling'er?!"

"Is anyone home?"

"Cui Ling'er?!"

As soon as he turned in the door, Xu Jizu called his sister by her nickname, which made his sudden visit seem less abrupt.

But after calling several times, no one in the house responded.

Xu Jizu frowned. Seeing this, he became suspicious and hurried a few steps, ready to go to the front and knock on the door of the inner room.

creak!

Before he could get close, someone suddenly walked out of the main room.

Ji Zu took a quick look and saw who else it could be but his brother-in-law Hu Juncai.

But now, this brother-in-law's gills were red, his eyes were blurred, and he reeked of alcohol. I don't know how much he had drunk to become so staggering.

"Jun, Juncai? You are at home!"

"Oh, look at you, how did you end up drinking so much?"

"I've never seen you drink so much before!"

Xu Jizu kept scolding him, but seeing that his brother-in-law was quite drunk, he stepped forward and supported him out of concern.

"Where's Cui Ling'er? Since you were at home today, why didn't you see her come out?!"

Xu Jizu was just asking casually, but as soon as the word Cuiling came out of his mouth, Hu Juncai became like a possessed person. He pushed away from Jizu and staggered a few steps into the yard.

But he was very drunk after all, and his body was unstable. He fell to the ground after taking only two steps.

After falling down, the man didn't even get up. Instead, he curled up on the ground and suddenly started crying!

Seeing this, Xiao Lang and everyone else present were all confused!
