"Go directly to that village?" Song Wuya hesitated for a moment, he stopped and stood on the spot to ponder. "If we go there rashly, we won't say whether we can find them or not. Even if we find them, we are in that place. I'm afraid they won't be afraid of us."
After all, things have passed, although they saw it with their own eyes in the morning.But if they tell this matter now, they don't have to admit it at all. In that case, they have nothing to do.
But now they want to track it down, but they can't find anyone at the pier, so they really have no other way.
"But if we don't go, then we won't find anything at the pier!" Situ Wen sighed.
That's right, they really have nothing else to do here except walk around and look around.
Stop here, after Situ Wen suggested, Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo and Xiaohuan: "What do you think?"
"Brother Wu Ya, I think Miss Situ is right." Bai Zhuo agreed with Situ Wen's proposal: "We are running out of time. We will have to deal with the imperial examination soon, and the investigation of the case eight years ago The results will come back soon. If we don't seize these few days to investigate, we may not be able to be busy in a few days. After other things are over, don't we have to delay again? What's more, this matter The matter is by no means a small matter, and it is inevitable that King Jin will come forward at that time, so we can't delay King Jin's trip, right?"
Bai Zhuo's words made Song Wuya make up his mind.
"Okay, since you said so, let's go to that village now and find these guys." Song Wuya nodded and said facing west.
After leaving the pier, everyone went straight to the village in the west of the city.
The village is not small. Judging from the outside, the village has the population of Baihu.
It is definitely not an easy task to find a few people from such a village.Fortunately, they knew that these people were working on the dock, so they had some clues.In addition, they also know the names of the two of them.
This village looks like that from a distance, but when you walk in, it is really a nice place.
Green bricks and green tiles, the courtyard in this village is very neat, not only that, even the streets in the village are paved with this large flat stone.
Walking into the village, in the streets and alleys, I didn't even find a single person.
"It rained just now, I'm afraid many people are resting in the house. They haven't come out at all." Song Wuya looked at the empty village, said something and walked directly towards a family.
Boom boom boom!
He knocked on the courtyard door, and soon there was the sound of the door opening in the courtyard.
"Who is it?"
A woman's voice came from the courtyard, and the sound of crisp footsteps gradually approached.
"Sister-in-law, I'm a foreigner, and I want to ask you something." Song Wuya explained his identity and purpose of coming.
"Wait a moment!" The woman responded, and quickly opened the courtyard door.
It can be seen that living in such a place, the woman is not curious when she hears a stranger coming.After all, this is a big place, and there is a wharf and river in front of it, so there are naturally many foreigners coming and going.Presumably people who usually come from other places have missed the closing time of the city gate, and there are not a few people who come to their village to stay overnight.
"What do you want to inquire about?"
After opening the courtyard door, the woman looked them up and down and asked immediately.
"We're here to inquire about a person! Do you know where the six sons live? It's the one who works on the dock." Song Wuya directly asked where the six sons lived.
Among those few people, the only ones they knew were that brother Niu and the six sons.Brother Niu and the others didn't have much contact with each other before, but this sixth son made him feel that he should be easy to talk to.
As for that brother Niu, since he can become the leader of them, he is also a shrewd and capable person.
When Song Wuya asked about the six sons, the woman immediately showed doubts.
"Do you know the six sons?" The woman looked at them suspiciously, with bursts of doubt in her eyes.
Seeing this situation, Song Wuya was stunned.What's the matter with these six sons, why did this woman become suspicious of them when they asked them?
"Oh! If you want to say that you know them, you don't know them either." Song Wuya thought about what the woman said, and felt that the woman didn't admit her doubts about them directly, but instead followed her words and said: "We are I met him on the pier. In fact, we have a batch of goods that we want to ship, so we want to find Liu Zi and the others. We don’t know any of them. We only know that the leader of them is Brother Niu, and we don’t know their name. .Only Liu Zi has heard of it, so I asked Liu Zi to find out how many of them there are."

“哦！原来是这样啊！”那妇人恍然大悟的点了点头，脸上泛起了笑容，她突然转头向着院内喊了一声：“老牛，有客人找你！”一听这话，宋无涯立刻就愣住了。包括白卓和司徒雯他们也是如此，听着这妇人的口气，可见他所喊的这个老牛，应该就是他们在码头上所见到的那个牛哥了。千算万算，没有算到这样的意外。“谁找我啊！”很快，屋内传来一声粗犷的声音，一壮汉从里边出来了。看到屋里出来的人，宋无涯一眼就认出此人，正是他们在码头上所见到的按个牛哥。事情竟然会有这样的巧合，实在是出乎意料。那男子大大咧咧的从屋内走出，来到了院门口，看到了门外站着的宋无涯经纪人后，扭头看向妇人。“老婆，他们是谁啊！”牛哥自然是不认识宋无涯他们几个的，所以疑惑的问向了自己的老婆。那妇人听着没好气道：“我怎么知道他们是谁？他们本来是打听六子的，我一听他们说是要找你们，所以就喊你出来了。刚刚他们说是有一批货，想要让你们帮着装一下。”“哦！是这样啊！”牛哥脸上的疑惑顿时一扫而空，换之而来的是一脸的笑容，他立刻侧身请道：“几位里边请。”显然这家伙一听说是来了生意，这脸上就露出了笑容。“赶紧去泡茶。”牛哥招呼几人进屋之后，立刻催促妇人去泡茶。他笑嘻嘻的看着宋无涯问道：“不知道几位要装什么船？”“装的是大船。”一看，遇到这样的情况，躲是躲不掉了，宋无涯索性就胡乱说了。“而且是很大的船，够你们这几个人装个几天时间了。不过，我看你们那几个人有些少，不知你们能不能再找几个，我想要尽快把货装上去。”“这个没问题，好说好说。”牛哥毫不犹豫的就答应下来，“这码头上我认识的兄弟不少，到时候要多少有多少，不知道公子什么时候装船啊？”“就在这一两日的功夫，等到货一来，立刻就装船。”宋无涯随口说着，他可不敢说现在就装船，毕竟他们船也没有，货也没有，那不是没事找晦气吗？听到宋无涯这么说，这牛哥脸上的笑容更加的灿烂了。毕竟一听说是大船，而且他们这几个人至少要装几天，就足以说明这货绝非小数。试想他们这一趟能挣多少，想想都令人高兴。“不知道，公子装的是什么货，能给多少钱。”他最关心的自然是钱的事情了。“钱好说，就按照你们今天早晨那批货的价格来算。至于我们装的是什么货，正好和你们早晨装的货是一样的。”宋无涯顺着他的问题就回答道。他这么一说，牛哥的脸色顿时就变了。“这位公子，你该不会是来寻我开心的吧？”牛哥脸上的笑容尽数收起，一脸凝重的看向宋无涯。宋无涯的话，直接说到了重点上。牛哥一听到宋无涯这么说，他心里顿时就是一个激灵。他能说出这样的话来，就足以证明之前宋无涯他们的猜测是完全正确的。可见那些袋子里装的东西，确实是见不得光的。“怎么？牛哥觉得在下是在和你开玩笑吗？”宋无涯看着牛哥微微一笑，“如果只是普通的东西，这码头上那么多人，为何我偏偏要这么费事的找到你们呢？”被反问了一句，牛哥脸上的神情镇定了许多。不过脸上神情镇定了，可是这嘴上依旧觉不承认这件事情。“我实在是不知道公子你说的是什么。”牛哥看着宋无涯，平静的说着。这一点宋无涯之前早已经料想到了，从那老六的表现来看，就不难知晓这牛哥会不承认。毕竟这事情他们要是承认了的话，别的不说，最轻的那也要被牵扯进去，坐牢那是肯定的。加上他们偷盗私盐，这本身就是触犯了律法，和贩运私盐是等同的罪责。“既然这样的话，那就算了。”宋无涯倒是并没有逼着牛哥继续说什么，而是以退为进不再说什么。“几位请喝茶。”两人全都陷入沉默之际，那妇人端着茶水来到了几人的面前。她一边招呼着众人，一边将托盘里的茶水放在桌上。她刚刚将茶杯放在桌上，宋无涯便起身了。“茶水就不喝了，在下告辞了。”“这……怎么就要走了呢？”妇人不知晓刚刚宋无涯和牛哥的谈话，明明听着有生意来了，感觉没说多少就要走，这让他很是疑惑。宋无涯起身之后，牛哥也没有挽留，目视着宋无涯也没有丝毫要起身相送的意思。别说是那妇人了，就是白卓和司徒雯都没有搞清楚。宋无涯竟然说走就要走，这也实在是太快了一点。宋无涯已经向外走去了，司徒雯几人也紧跟着而来。“老牛，这是怎么回事？这么快就谈成了？”妇人诧异的看着宋无涯几人，见他们真的要走，立刻转身小声的向牛哥询问。牛哥此刻耷拉着脸，没好气道：“这么快你说能不能谈好？还不去送人？”妇人听着这话，这才不多问，跟着宋无涯几人就出来了。“我说这位公子，这是怎么回事，怎么这么快就要走啊？”妇人显然还是不愿意就这样让宋无涯他们离开，毕竟听刚刚宋无涯他们所说，这货物可是不少，就这样让他们离开，确实是有些不舍。“大嫂，不必送了。或许我们还会再来的。”宋无涯笑着向那妇人说道，他觉得他们还是有机会的。毕竟这样的生意可绝对能让这牛哥和他的弟兄们赚道不少的钱，那牛哥怎么可能就这样轻易的放过。所以宋无涯才会这样说，正是因为他觉得这件事情并非就这样没有任何回转的余地了。妇人听着宋无涯这话，微微一愣，也没有再说什么。宋无涯带着白卓几人离开了这个村落。原本他们是打算去找老六的，可是没想到敲开的房门，竟然就是那牛哥的家。这样的意外，彻底打乱了他心里之前的盘算。刚刚临阵应变，倒也没有出现什么差池。不过通过和牛哥的一番谈话，现在让他觉得这事情好像更加的靠谱了。现在离开了牛家，再去找那个老六的话，显然是不合适了，那样只会适得其反。“无涯兄，怎么说走就走了？”走出了村落，白卓心里的疑惑，这才吐露出来。“话都已经说到那个份上了，难道咱们还能求着那牛哥不成？”宋无涯叹了口气说到。“那咱们也不能就这样放弃啊，怎么说也得和那家伙多探讨一番啊！”白卓还是觉得宋无涯这是要放弃了。宋无涯摇摇头：“白兄，我可没有说放弃。你没看到那个牛哥已经明白咱们说的是什么了？可是他偏偏要装糊涂不承认这件事情，这不是说明这家伙怕惹事吗？这么要是着急的追着不放，到时候只会适得其反的。”“正是因为他明白，咱们才要追着不放啊。等到下次再去找他，只怕他就不会是这么说了。”白卓着急着的说道。这样的事情他们确实是已经遇到过不少，要是这牛哥也一口咬定，不承认这件事情的话，那他们还真是没办法从他们的身上继续追查下去了。不过这一次不同，宋无涯并不认为这一次还会再次发生之前的情况。这位牛哥先前的表现虽然很镇定，但是宋无涯从他的眼神中已经看到了动心。对于宋无涯的话，这牛哥是绝对动心了的，只不过是他现在还不敢一口吃下，毕竟他心里也害怕，害怕落入官府。一旦他觉得没事，必定还会重新决定这件事情的。想必在宋无涯他们离开之后，这牛哥立刻就会找其他的人去商量这件事情吧。毕竟这件事情如此冒险，这可不是他一个人说了算的，毕竟是所有人的事情，总不能因为他是头子，就由他一个人来决定吧。这事情风险很大，一旦出现什么危险，他如何向这些弟兄们交代。正是因为这件事情风险大，所以他才不能直接答应下来。“白兄，你何必如此着急呢？这件事情，他们怎么可能一口直接答应？难道他们就不考虑一下这件事情是不是能做？万一出了什么事情，该怎么办？”宋无涯看着白卓这老毛病又犯了，顿时就没好气起来了。“这么说倒也不是没有道理啊！”白卓这才反应过来这个道理来。宋无涯也没有再说什么，四个人直接向着省城的方向而去。回到了省城，宋无涯几人没有立刻前往住处，而是再次来到了街头。举子们还在街头庆祝，他们为了今天的事情，可以说是准备了十几年。这十几年的寒窗苦读究竟能否有所成就，就看今天这一天的作为了。“无涯兄，怎么近日来不见那个唐少爷啊？”白卓走在街头，竟然突然间想起了这一位来。
6 Chapter Eighteen Omissions
? Chapter 6 missing
"Brother Bai, why did you suddenly think that this guy is here?" Song Wuya was also curious.
This Young Master Tang, they have only met once.Before Song Wuya fooled him and left the poem on the wall of the tea house, but now the poem has been removed from the wall.
Judging from this situation, this young master Tang or others have also noticed something, so quickly delete this poem, so as not to cause trouble for them.
Originally, Tang Shao also claimed that he would definitely be a member of high school this time, but he was afraid that after doing this, he would no longer have this member.
"It's nothing, I just remembered it suddenly." Bai Zhuo said calmly.
Obviously he didn't care about this Young Master Tang, he just thought of it for a while.
Speaking of this Young Master Tang, Song Wuya thought of another place.
"By the way, since we went to Guanshan Restaurant a few days ago, it seems that we haven't paid attention to whether there is any movement there now."
That's right, the place Song Wuya thought of was Guanshan Restaurant.They had a lot of curiosity and doubts about this place before, but looking at it now, this Guanshan restaurant is quite not simple.Especially this time the imperial examination was actually mixed in it.
"That's right! This Guanshan Restaurant is almost forgotten by us. We should see if there is any movement in this place." Bai Zhuo heard Song Wuya mention Guanshan Restaurant, and he remembered it The scene I saw in Guanshan Restaurant before.
In the Guanshan restaurant, there were many disciples who went there, and Song Wuya and the others knew what they did.But what is going on here, after all, they don't fully understand.
"I think we will have a chance to find out about Guanshan Restaurant in the future. Now, it is still very difficult for us to find out about Guanshan Restaurant because of this matter. After all, the imperial examinations have ended, and the previous ones The matter of the son sending money inside is over now." Song Wuya said with a sigh.
It is obviously impossible to find this clue from the Guanshan Restaurant now.However, what happened this time somewhat reminded Song Wuya and the others, making them aware that this Guanshan Restaurant is not an ordinary place.
Upon hearing what Song Wuya said, Bai Zhuo immediately frowned: "Brother Wuya, why did you say that again? If you said that, why did you mention it just now?"
"Isn't it because you mentioned Young Master Tang? That's why you thought of Guanshan Restaurant." Song Wuya said speechlessly.
After all, it was Bai Zhuo's fault, if he hadn't mentioned this Young Master Tang suddenly, how could he have heard about this Guanshan Restaurant.
Hearing Song Wuya's words, Bai Zhuo rolled his eyes helplessly, and said nothing more.
"Okay, you two don't argue about this matter anymore, it's not an important matter. But since Bai Zhuo mentioned this Young Master Tang, maybe we can find some more clues from him." Situ Seeing the two of them stop, Wen interjected.
His words interrupted the two of them, and successfully changed the subject.
Speaking of this matter, Song Wuya still held a sheet in his hand, which was the poem written by Young Master Tang himself.I don't know if Huiyuan this time will still be this guy. If it's still this guy, this poem is still somewhat useful.
"What clues can we find from him?" Bai Zhuo asked in surprise after listening to Situ Wen's words.
This young master Tang and the others only met once, and they didn't have much contact with him after that.Before Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo didn't reveal their identities, this Young Master Tang even invited Song Wuya to Guanshan Restaurant for dinner.
It's all right now, the identities of the two of them have been exposed, this Young Master Tang will definitely know about it, I'm afraid that now he hates Song Wuya so much in his heart, why would he want to invite Song Wuya to dinner like before.
