Chapter three hundred and eighty third life hanging by a thread
Zhao Yuan just went straight to the branch of the Beggars' Sect just now, and then led a little beggar to the cargo yard and said, "According to our inquiry, the blacksmith is named Niu Er, who is hiding in this cargo yard! We are afraid of alarming the enemy, so we dare not get too close. However, we have already found out that the owner of the cargo yard is named Yang, and he has a list. For every new friend, he is registered and never lacks it. The sect leader is better at inquiring from him, and it may be easy to find out Niu Er's whereabouts!"
Zhao Yuan dialed and said, "Okay, let me do the rest!"
Although the Beggars' Sect did not catch Niu Er directly, this is considered to be a clear idea, and it is easy for the owner of the cargo yard to hand over the list as he is.
"Yes, that little one will step back first!"
The little beggar said goodbye.
After Zhao Yuan left, he stepped into the cargo yard and so on. Although it was just dawn, the whole cargo yard was already busy at this moment. As the largest cargo yard in the capital, there were hundreds of coolies busy here every day. The Beggars' Sect could actually find out Niu Er's traces here, and it was indeed very rare in just one day.
Since it is a cargo yard, some of the guests are wearing silk and satin, and some are wearing coarse linen shirts. The boss and shopkeeper are crowded here. The only difference is probably the clothes they are wearing.
Zhao Yuan's Assassin was dressed in plain clothes, which looked no different from ordinary people, so he didn't pay attention.
However, it is not easy to find someone here.
Zhao Yuan grabbed a coolie next to him, stuffed a few coins into it, and asked, "Where is the owner of this yard?"
The coolie couldn't earn a few copper coins all day long. Seeing this, he immediately smiled and pointed to the front, saying, "Customer, you see, in the room on the second floor, there is no place where the owner is. He is very fat, his surname is Yang, and we secretly call him Fatty Yang!"
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you!"
After saying that, he walked straight towards the building!
This small building is in the center of the entire cargo yard, and you can look down at the entire cargo yard. Zhao Yuan walked over directly, and there were several burly men under the small building, with most of their arms exposed, looking fierce and evil.
With their appearance alone, it is enough to make those coolie sects honest.
Zhao Yuan walked straight to them and bowed, "I want to see your owner!"
A burly man said, "Who are you?"
Zhao Yuan said: "You don't have to know who I am, you just need to take me to meet your owner!"
The burly man said, "Why do you see me at any time?"
Zhao Yuan looked around, but no one noticed him. He took out his waist card and handed it to him, saying, "I may see you guys now!"
When the burly man saw the waist card, his face immediately changed and he said, "You are..."
Zhao Yuan took back his waist card and stopped him, "Shhh... don't make a name for him! Lead the way!"
The burly man was just a small guard, so he didn't dare to stop the Jinyiwei. He immediately smiled and said, "The owner is right above, please come with the young one!"
As he said that, he went to the front to lead the way!
Zhao Yuan also followed him forward. After coming to the second floor, he immediately opened the door respectfully and said to the person inside: "Guest, please come inside!"
Zhao Yuan nodded, walked inside, and said, "Remember, don't make a name for yourself when you go down, you can understand!"
The big man hurriedly said, "Yes, the little one knows, the little one knows!"
Zhao Yuan then entered the house. Inside the house, a fat man was sitting at the table, eating breakfast in big mouthfuls. When he saw Zhao Yuan coming in, he said, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yuan had to take out his sign again and threw it over.
"!"
The sign fell on the table in front of Fatty Yang.
He looked at it and was startled. He stood up quickly, then smiled and said, "It turns out he is an adult! I wonder if the big man needs some small service when he comes here?"
Zhao Yuan pulled the chair next to him, sat up carefully, and said, "I want to find someone, the new coolie, named Niu Er, and then bring it quietly after finding him. Remember, don't make a statement!"
Fatty Yang nodded and said, "Okay, that's fine, sir, wait a moment, sir! The younger one immediately asked someone to handle this matter!"
After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to do it, and then he held a cup of tea with respect and placed it respectfully in Zhao Yuan, smiling and said, "Sir!"
Zhao Yuan picked up the tea, looked at the yard in front of him, and said, "Your yard is quite big!"
Fatty Yang smiled and said, "Sir, I don't know that my cargo yard is the largest cargo yard in the entire capital. Many goods from the south and the north are sent here and then bought."
Zhao Yuan said: "Then how many coolies are there?"
Fatty Yang said: "To be precise, there should be 318 people, all of whom are registered. Please wait!"
As he said that, he turned around and went to get the document book from the cabinet, but said strangely: "It's so strange, why does this document book seem to have been touched by someone!"
Zhao Yuan was shocked when he heard this and said, "No, where is that Niu Er?"
Fatty Yang was startled and hurriedly said, "It's in the warehouse of Dizi No. 5. This Niu Er is new and a bit strong, so I remember that it's the fifth row on the left!"
Zhao Yuan quickly pushed open the window, stepped on the window frame, and shot out like lightning, heading straight to Warehouse No. 5.
I found this through the Beggars' Gang, but I didn't know that there were people who found this here. The speed was before me. If this Niu Er's blacksmith died again, then this case would have become a headless case.
Soon, Zhao Yuan arrived at Warehouse No. 5, then took a break, grabbed a man, and immediately asked, "Where is Niu Er? Who!"
The man in front of him was startled and said, "I don't know, there is no such person as Niu Er here!"
"Not Niu Er?"
Zhao Yuan said strangely. After looking at this person carefully, he found that the person's eyes were a little flashing. When he saw his hand, there were signs of burns on it. He was about to say something, but suddenly his face changed. He grabbed a sack next to him and updated it behind him, and then pulled him behind him.
"Puchi!"
The sack seemed to be torn apart by some invisible force in an instant, and then, with a sniffle, an arrow was inserted into the position where the two of them were standing just now.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuan grabbed the goods next to him and kept throwing them away. While throwing them, he pulled the man hard and ran away. He kept changing his route. Behind him, the arrows shot from him flew over one after another. The power was extremely strong. It seemed that the other party had internal force on the arrow branches. Once it was touched, the internal force would burst out, and the entire arrow was like a bomb. Once an ordinary person was shot, it could be torn and smashed by the internal force in an instant.
After more than ten arrows, the arrow finally shot out. Zhao Yuan had not confirmed where the enemy was, so he pulled Niu Er out of the cargo yard and said, "I am the Jinyiwei. Now someone wants to kill you. If you don't want to die, follow me!"
This young man was indeed Niu Er. He never expected that he would find him so quickly. He was so scared that he was pulled by Zhao Yuan. He then reacted and said quickly: "Sir, I don't know anything. Let the villain go."
Zhao Yuan said: "Let you go? If I let you go now, it's a dead end. Do you think you can escape the killer's pursuit? If you want to survive, don't talk nonsense and follow me honestly!"
Niu Erdao: "Why did they kill the young ones? Did the young ones do nothing bad?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It is not that you are doing something bad, but that you know too much. I ask you, and you must not hide it in the slightest answer! If you are satisfied with the answer, I can save your life!"
Niu Er hurriedly said, "Sir, I must not hide it if I know it!"
Now he has no way out at all, not to mention that the other party is the Jinyiwei.
Zhao Yuan ran while paying attention to the movements around him and asked, "I ask you, are you building a Japanese knife? It's the kind of knife that can hold the hilt of the knife with both hands, open the blade on one side, and slightly slanted!"
Niu Er thought for a while and then said, "Yes!"
Zhao Yuan asked again: "How many times have you created, and how many days have you built?"
Niu Er hurriedly said: "From the day when the shopkeeper and the others were killed, they have been building for twelve days in a row. They are busy late every day, and they can build nearly eighty pieces every day! The other party does not have high requirements for this knife, so it is rough, just have a shape!"
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but take a breath. The output of 80 trains per day has been built for twelve consecutive days. In short, wouldn't it be nearly a thousand trains? Could it be that the Japanese pirates had sneaked in in this capital without realizing it?
Perhaps there are more than these people at all, because the blacksmith shop did not complete the task as agreed, and according to what I heard that night, the shopkeeper said that it would take several days to complete it. I don’t know if the so-called days are three or four days or seven or eight days. If the worst estimate is based on the worst estimate, it will cost at least more than 1,500 people.
At the feet of the emperor in the capital, thousands of Japanese pirates were quietly sneaked in, but they were not discovered. What a horrible thing this is. If these people get into chaos and massacre them in the capital, in such a densely populated place, countless people will die under their swords in just a moment.
These Japanese pirates are not ruthless to ordinary people. In fact, what they are rushing along the coast is not just about robbing and killing the people.
On the spot, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You shopkeeper clearly knows that this knife is a Japanese knife, why do you still take it?"
Niu Erdao: "How can we servants know the idea of the shopkeeper? However, the business is not easy to do in the past two years, and the court has been strict. The blacksmith shop is almost unable to take it out. With such a large business now, it can save the blacksmith shop at once. How could the shopkeeper not take it? As for what kind of weapons are created, who will ask about these things! You officials, how can you know the days of poor families? The family is just looking forward to making some skills and making some money. If you don't live, you will have no money and can't buy rice and flour. Adults can endure it. How can children endure it? They are all hungry and screaming. Everyone feels distressed when they see it, but they can't find a grain of rice even if they go through boxes and cabinets! Moreover, private weapons are illegal. Who would dare to make money if they can make money!"
Zhao Yuan's heart sank. Now it is no match for society. After hundreds of years, even if you have the strength, it is sometimes difficult to get enough food and clothing. As Niu Er said, who would be willing to do something illegal if you can get a bite of food?
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Didn't your shopkeeper notice that once you finish the matter, the final result will still be silenced."
Niu Er said in surprise: "What do you mean is that we will be killed sooner or later?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "You are right. When your shopkeeper takes over that business, the end is destined. The day you finish the goods is when you are silenced. Not only are you illegal to cast weapons, but you have to cast Japanese swords. Do you know what Japanese swords are? They are weapons used by Japanese pirates who do evil on the coast and kill people. If you cast swords for Japanese pirates, you will have an affair with the enemy. The national law is hard tolerant! Similarly, the people who make Japanese swords also know this, but he will also worry that you will tell them out. Once you complete his goods, you will be silenced!"
Niu Erdao: "Yes...but we haven't completed his goods yet? Why did he do it?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Because I have investigated you because of another case, it was the case of gold robbing in the escort agency that happened not long ago. The gold was transported to the blacksmith shop that night, and the box was melted by the blacksmith shop, and the porcelain was buried in the yard! Once we found the blacksmith shop because of this case, the matter of you casting Japanese pirates privately will be exposed, and your behind-the-scenes envoys do not want anyone to know about this, so you took action in advance. It was also because you were a kid who was lucky and did not stay in the blacksmith shop at night. Otherwise, you, like everyone else, have already become a corpse! Your boss lady escaped that night, but was killed in the prison of the prefect of the Shuntian Prefecture, and you who escaped will definitely be silenced! Fortunately, I came in time. Now you must follow the Jinyiwei first, only there can ensure your safety!"
Niu Er was worried and said, "Sir, but the little one has made a private Japanese sword. After returning to the Jinyiwei, it is not a dead end. Can you let the little one go? The little one immediately escaped from the capital and escaped far away and never came back. Is it okay?"
