Chapter 212 Closing the Net

Chapter 212 Closing the Net

Rao Mingyue quietly slipped out of Yuzhu Hutong and came to the main street of Changpingfang.

As a performer who has recently become famous, many people have seen Rao Mingyue.

For this reason, before taking to the streets, Rao Mingyue specially changed her appearance to ensure that no one could recognize her.

As soon as she entered the street, Rao Mingyue noticed something strange in the atmosphere.

There are many members of the Sihai Gang who openly interrogate passers-by, especially middle-aged and elderly men, who interrogate them in great detail.

Rao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface and walked out of the shop pretending to be fine.

"For what?"

"Go out and buy something."

"Take your hat off and look at it."

Rao Mingyue took off his hat honestly.

The gang member took a look and found that he was a handsome young man who did not match the middle-aged man in the portrait at all, so he waved his hand.

"let's go."

"Thank you, uncle!" Rao Mingyue shouted respectfully, then quickened his pace and hurriedly left the street.

After leaving Changpingfang, Rao Mingyue quickly called a donkey cart.

"Go to Dongshi!"

In addition to more than a hundred small and large markets, Yandu City also has two separate markets, one on the east and west sides of the city, so it is also called the east and west cities.

There are many shops inside, selling everything. Key personnel come and go frequently, making it difficult for others to notice.

The medicines I bought for Moxu before were bought from Dongshi.

The coachman agreed and then headed for Dongshi.

From Changpingfang to the East Market, we have to pass through four or five markets. When we arrived in front of the East Market, the sun was just rising, and it was a busy time.

Rao Mingyue settled the fare, asked the driver to wait for her here, and then entered the East Market.

Rao Mingyue first went to a pharmacy he knew well and handed the clerk a list.

The list was written by Moxu. Most of it were commonly used medicines, but only a few were what Moxu needed urgently.

This is also to deceive others.

After all, Mo Xu couldn't guarantee whether these drug stores had any connections with the Sihai Gang. If they did, their whereabouts would be easily exposed through the medicines they purchased.

However, nothing happened as expected. Rao Mingyue successfully bought the medicines he needed, and then returned to the car happily.

"Let's go back to Changpingfang!"

"Okay, sit tight."

Even though it looked like a donkey cart, the speed was not slow at all, and we soon arrived at the gate of Changpingfang.

But Rao Mingyue didn't notice that when the donkey cart stopped, the driver winked at several Sihai gang members in front of the door.

These gangsters understood and immediately someone went back to report the news. At the same time, several gangsters dressed as pedestrians appeared quietly around the donkey cart and surrounded it.

Rao Mingyue was completely unaware of this.

He got off the donkey cart happily, paid the fare, and even gave a little extra as a tip, and then walked to Changpingfang.

These gangsters pretending to be pedestrians followed immediately, staying far behind.

At the same time, in a teahouse not far from the square gate, a young man was looking out of the window, and his eyes soon locked on Rao Mingyue.

"Have you been identified?"

"Master, we have found out that this person's name is Rao Mingyue. He is a performer in Yuzhu Hutong. His stage name is Xiaoyue and he belongs to the Sixi Opera Troupe."

"Performers?" The man frowned, "Have you never checked these people before?"

"This... I just did a quick check at the time and didn't go in-depth. After all, most of the guests who go to Yuzhu Hutong are dignitaries, so we don't dare to disturb them too much."

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, "They are all a bunch of trash. If I hadn't asked you to start all the cart drivers around you this time to see if anyone sneaked out to buy suspicious items, I guess you still wouldn't be able to find this out by now. Where is Rao Mingyue?"

"Yes, the hall master is wise!"

The man waved his hand to stop his subordinates from continuing to flatter him, then stared at Rao Mingyue's back and said softly.

"Since when have actors become so kind and righteous? How dare you take such a big risk to harbor criminals? Is there someone behind the scenes?"

"This...it's not clear yet."

"Don't alert the snake first, secretly send someone to follow him back, and then surround his residence. You must not let that kid escape this time, otherwise my aunt will not let you go."

"yes!"

These people's hearts trembled, and they all bowed their heads in response.

This man is Sheng Lianhua's nephew, Bai Zonglin.

Even though Sheng Lianhua was the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang and the leader of Yan Zhihai, she had no heirs, so she regarded Bai Zonglin as her biological son and responded to his every request.

This Bai Zonglin is quite impressive. After joining the Sihai Gang, he was quickly promoted to the hall leader. He is also alert and quite strategic. The key is that he has good talent in martial arts. He is now a Four Realm warrior, with just a few steps left. It’s time to enter the Half-Step Five Realm.

For this reason, Sheng Lianhua did not hesitate to go to war, even if she gave up the benefits, she still wanted to capture Mo Xu, in order to use this matter to gain access to the Huawai Sect and allow Bai Zonglin to join it.

Now that everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind. Bai Zonglin also went downstairs and headed to Yuzhu Hutong.

Imperial Majesty Bai Zonglin did have some skills. Although he ordered his subordinates to gather in Yuzhu Hutong, nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the surface.

Only a few caring people can detect any clues.

Such as Zhao Ya.

At this time, he was standing on the roof of a brothel.

The location here is excellent, overlooking most of Changpingfang, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get up.

When he saw a salesman walking into Yuzhu Hutong, Zhao Ya had already guessed.

After all, this is already the tenth shopkeeper to enter Yuzhu Hutong in just ten minutes.

In addition, there are seven vegetable sellers, three candied haws sellers and a fortune teller under the guise of a fortune teller.

Zhao Ya chuckled, "You really have no imagination!"

You should know that it is clear day and the theaters are not open, and most of the people living in the alley are sleeping. How can anyone come out to buy things?

Each of these small business people is better than the last, and they naturally know this, so they will never go to Yuzhu Hutong for most of the day.

It is obvious that these sellers of goods, vegetables, candied haws, and candied haws are all disguised.

Their purpose is self-evident, they should all be heading towards Mo Qi.

Zhao Ya also didn't expect that Mo Qi was still hiding in Yuzhu Hutong.

Don't say that the most dangerous is the safest. You must know that Yuzhu Hutong is only one street in total. It is easy to be caught in a trap by hiding in it.

So the safest way is to run as far as possible.

It is estimated that Mo Qi was seriously injured and had to take risks and hide nearby.

Just as Zhao Ya was thinking, he saw Rao Mingyue appearing at the entrance of the alley carrying a package.

He looked around furtively, and when no one paid attention to him, he hurriedly walked deeper into the alley.

These tricks may fool ordinary people, but for experts, they are no different than hanging the words "I have a ghost in my heart" on their foreheads.

Zhao Ya secretly laughed in his heart, but still did not move because he knew that someone would come soon.

as expected.

Not long after Rao Mingyue disappeared at the entrance of the alley, a group of people appeared on the street.

The leader was none other than Bai Zonglin.

He glanced at the alley in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You block the entrance to the alley and no one is allowed in or out."

"yes!"

"The rest of you are coming with me!"

Bai Zonglin took the lead and led a group of people towards the alley.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya, who was on the rooftop in the distance, also changed his clothes.

He had already made preparations before coming. In order to hide his appearance, the clothes were specially modified. After wearing them, his figure deformed a lot.

Then Zhao Ya put on a ferocious Yaksha mask, jumped up and disappeared among the eaves.

Rao Mingyue walked quickly to the door and saw that the door lock was still hanging on the door, and she couldn't help but feel relaxed.

After he opened the door, he ducked inside, locked the door from the inside, and then walked quickly to the backyard.

"Mr. Mo, I have bought the medicine. How do you think it should be prepared this time?" Rao Mingyue said excitedly.

Moxu was lying on the bed in the woodshed to adjust his luck and blood. After hearing Rao Mingyue's cry, he opened his eyes slightly.

"Did you encounter any accidents on the way?"

"No, I just encountered people from the Sihai Gang checking passers-by when I was going out, but they just looked at me and then let me go."

"Check the passers-by?" Mo Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Changpingfang has been calm these past few days, and this is what Mo Xu is most confused about.

Why did it suddenly cease?

But no matter what, this is good news.

Unexpectedly, just two or three days later, the situation suddenly became tense. The Sihai Gang even openly searched people on the street. Aren't they afraid of alerting others?

Or are they doing this on purpose?

Mo Xu frowned.

Rao Mingyue saw his unkind expression and hurriedly said, "Mr. Mo, don't worry. I was very careful when I came back and made sure no one was following me before I entered the house."

Mo Xu smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

He knew the methods of those in the Sihai Gang very well. If Lang Songbai, who had injured him, was following him, let alone Rao Mingyue, who was not good at martial arts, even a martial arts master might have been caught.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the front yard.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The crisp knock on the door broke the tranquility of the small courtyard and made Rao Mingyue tremble all over.

He, who was originally confident that nothing would happen, turned pale in an instant, and looked at Mo Xu with horror on his face.

"Mo...Mr. Mo."

Moxu sighed.

Although after the injury, his five senses were greatly reduced due to loss of energy and blood, and he could not hear the movement outside.

But if you think about it for a moment, you can tell that the street outside must be very lively at this moment.

"Don't panic. If you open the door now, just say I'm in the backyard. I coerced you into doing this. They shouldn't hurt you."

Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything, so Moxu can only comfort him with soft words.

But to his surprise, Rao Mingyue, who thought he would be too frightened to walk, calmed down quickly.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If you are the one who saved me, then you are the one who saved me. The worst case scenario is death. I spare Mingyue and I am not afraid."

As he said that, he came to the front yard. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he heard the knock on the door again.

"Come, come, who is it? Knock on the door so early in the morning!" Rao Mingyue pretended to be impatient and shouted.

A voice came from outside the door, "Your class leader asked me to bring you some food. Little Yue Guan, please open the door."

Rao Mingyue hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door.

Because he knew that he couldn't escape by hiding.

Sure enough, there was a vegetable vendor standing outside the door. When he saw Rao Mingyue, the vendor smiled.

"Xiaoyueguo, these are the dishes that the class leader asked me to bring to you. Do you want to see how fresh they are?"

At this moment, Rao Mingyue really thought that it was just a false alarm.

But just when he took a deep breath and was about to reach out to take the food, a figure appeared in front of the door.

Bai Zonglin glanced at Rao Mingyue condescendingly, then raised his head to look into the courtyard, and said calmly: "Control him, don't let him move!"

Before Rao Mingyue could react, the vegetable vendor took out a knife from the pile of vegetables and put it on Rao Mingyue's neck.

Unexpectedly, Rao Mingyue still did not give up at this time, but shouted: "Mr. Mo, run!"

Bang.

The Sihai Gang, who was pretending to be a vegetable vendor, was so angry that he hit Rao Mingyue in the mouth with a knife handle.

In an instant, the broken teeth fell down together with the blood.

Rao Mingyue couldn't shout anymore.

Bai Zonglin didn't even look back, and walked straight through the front yard to the woodshed behind.

Looking at the ajar door, Bai Zonglin did not step forward to push it, but stopped and said with a smile.

"Mr. Mo Qimo, if you don't want the opera singer in the front yard to die, it's best not to struggle pointlessly."

The room was unusually quiet, and after a while, a few subtle swishing sounds were heard from behind the door panel, and then Mo Xu whispered.

"There was no ambush, and I didn't struggle, but please don't make it difficult for the child. He was forced to do so."

"Okay, as long as you behave honestly, I can spare his life."

Bai Zonglin did a very detailed investigation before coming here and knew that Mr. Mo Qimo came from the land of Huawai.

Although the Yaosheng Temple is not as famous as the Thirteen Huawai Sects, it should not be underestimated. The descendants of its sect are both experts in piano and medicine, especially the skill of controlling the strings of the piano by hand, which is simply unpredictable.

Although Bai Zonglin was eager to make meritorious deeds, he did not want to risk his life in vain.

That's why he would proceed step by step, first find a way to control Rao Mingyue, and then use his life to blackmail Mo Qi into submission.

Now it seems that this idea is very effective.

Even so, Bai Zonglin did not take the risk himself, but asked his men to open the door.

I saw a man lying half lying on the bed in the woodshed. Although his face was pale, his eyes were very bright.

Bai Zonglin had seen Mo Qi's portrait before, so he recognized it at a glance. It was the target he wanted to hunt.

"Very good. It seems that Mr. Mo is indeed a trustworthy person, so please come with us."

Mo Qi did not move. Instead, he flicked his fingers, and then he saw several tiny rays of light swimming around the room.

"I want to see Rao Mingyue first and make sure he is okay before I can go with you."

Bai Zonglin frowned, but intimidated by the strings controlled by Mo Qi, he still nodded.

"good!"

Soon someone escorted Rao Mingyue, whose mouth was full of blood, to the backyard.

When Mo Qi saw the blood in Rao Mingyue's mouth, he was stunned for a moment and became furious.

"Who did it?"

"Mr. Mo, I only said I would spare his life, but I didn't say I wouldn't hurt him at all. He yelled just now, so my men will naturally give him some punishment."

"He is a showman who relies on his mouth to make a living. Aren't you ruining his future by doing this?" Mo Qi was very angry.

"Stop talking nonsense, the man is here. If you still refuse to give up resistance, I will kill him now!" Bai Zonglin finally lost his patience and said coldly.

In his opinion, he was already sure of victory, and Mo Qi had no choice but to surrender.

Mo Qi's eyes were full of anger and sadness.

By now, he no longer cares about his own life or death, he just feels sorry for the young man who saved him.

But for the sake of his life, he had to give up resistance.

Just when he sighed and was about to drop the strings in his hand.

Sudden.

The members of the Sihai Gang who were on guard in the courtyard began to fall one after another.
