"Congratulations, Boss Su. No, I should call you Boss Su now. The youngest boss of Chang Ning Prefecture. Tsk tsk, it's really enviable."
Tie Wuqing, the chief constable of the Eastern Twelve Houses, walked over with a smile, still playing with two heavy iron balls in his hand.
Su Xin turned around and cupped his hands, "Don't make fun of me, Lord Tie. The so-called boss is just a name."
Tie Wuqing shook his head, "It's not just a name, it's a symbol of status. You, Su Xin, were unknown before, but since yesterday, who doesn't know you, Su Xin?"
In such a big Chang Ning Prefecture, there were tens of thousands of people in the gangs, but only the boss was considered the real leader of the gang, worthy of being remembered by other gangs.
Su Xin did not continue to be modest, but asked, "Lord Tie, why do you have the time to come here today?"
Tie Wuqing smiled, "Of course I'm here to ask for your help. I was going to look for you two days ago, but I saw that you were in a good relationship with the Green Bamboo Gang, so I didn't bother you."
"Thank you, Lord Tie, for your understanding. As long as I, Su Xin, can do it, Lord Tie, please tell me."
Making friends with Tie Wuqing was what Su Xin was prepared to do from the beginning.
As the chief constable of the Eastern Twelve Houses, Tie Wuqing's identity could be ranked in the top ten in the entire Chang Ning Prefecture, so he was worth investing in.
"It's like this, the son of our prefectural magistrate went to Merry Forest to play two days ago, but his money bag was stolen.
It's fine if he lost the money, but he still has a warm jade from the 36 countries of the Western Region. This thing is priceless, it can't be bought.
I've been busy recently, so I can't spare any manpower. It'd be best if you can find this warm jade, but it's fine if you can't, just find someone to take the blame.
The son of the prefectural magistrate is very angry now, so just give him an explanation as soon as possible and let him cool down. "
Su Xin pondered for a moment, "Is the son of the prefectural magistrate sure that his money bag was stolen and not lost?"
"I'm sure. His clothes were cut open, but he didn't notice it at all. It was done by an experienced person."
After some thought, Su Xin said, "Sir Tie, don't worry. Whether or not I can find the warm jade, I will give you an answer within three days."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news, Su Xin."
Tie Wuqing played with the iron ball in his hand and turned to leave. There was an unfathomable smile on his lips.
The last time he saw Su Xin, he was just a small gang member in charge of the Merry Forest. Now, he had become the leader of a market square.
The speed at which this young man climbed up was beyond his imagination.
After Tie Wuqing left, Su Xin said to Huang Bingcheng, "Go to the Merry Forest and find out all the details of the young master of the prefectural magistrate in the Merry Forest. Search all the pickpockets and thieves in the Merry Forest and see who is so blind that they even dare to steal the money pouch of the young master of the prefectural magistrate."
Huang Bingcheng nodded and immediately brought his men to Merry Forest.
In less than an hour, Huang Bingcheng brought back the news.
"Boss, things are a little tricky."
"What's wrong?"
Huang Bingcheng frowned and said, "I asked Boss Liu in detail. That day when the young master of the prefectural magistrate came to Merry Forest, he went straight to his Drunken Moon Inn. His money pouch was still there until he left. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pay.
After leaving Merry Forest, he wanted to go to Yongle Workshop to eat Zhou's Osmanthus Chicken. When he bought the chicken, his money pouch was already gone. "
Su Xin pondered and said, "That means that the money pouch should have been stolen after leaving Drunken Moon Inn and entering Yongle Workshop. Can you confirm that it was done by the pickpockets in Merry Forest?"
Huang Bingcheng shook his head, "Definitely not. Ever since we took control of Merry Forest, the small thieves on the streets have been cleaned up. The money pouch was definitely not lost in Merry Forest."
"If it's not Merry Forest, then it must be Yongle Workshop. Who is the biggest pickpocket leader in Yongle Workshop?" Su Xin asked.
There must be a leader in the pickpocket business.
There were only two outcomes for those who dared to steal on the streets. One was to be found by the local pickpocket organization and break their hands. They wouldn't allow anyone who didn't join them to steal their rice bowls.
The other was to accidentally be discovered and directly sent to the authorities.
Only by joining the pickpocket organization, the leader would help you deal with the aftermath when you failed. Of course, you would also have to hand over a portion of your earnings every month.
Huang Bingcheng said, "I want to say that this is the tricky part. The pickpocket leader of Yongle Workshop isn't ordinary. His nickname is Old Wolf. It is said that in his early years, he established a mountain stronghold in the jungle of Southern Xiang and had hundreds of strong men under him.
But later, I heard that he provoked a young chivalrous warrior from a martial arts sect. He single-handedly overturned the stronghold. After he escaped with great difficulty, he was betrayed by his men and was seriously injured. He was even blinded in one eye. Afterwards, he lived in seclusion in Chang Ning Prefecture.
Although this Old Wolf was seriously injured, his previous martial arts foundation was still there. Coupled with his ruthless actions, he quickly recruited all the hundreds of pickpockets in the Yongle workshop into his subordinates. He didn't even give face to the former big boss Dai Chong.
After Dai Chong was assassinated by you, Qing Zhu helped Boss Chen take over his position. It is said that he even wanted to collect money from Old Wolf. In the end, he seemed to have suffered a loss and came back with his face covered in dirt. He didn't dare to mention this matter again. "
The corner of Su Xin's mouth revealed a trace of disdain, "He's just a loser. What's there to be afraid of? Moreover, he's a loser who doesn't have the slightest bit of confidence. He actually used his own defeat as an excuse to show off. It's really pitiful and lamentable. "
"Show off?" Huang Bingcheng said in bewilderment, "Could it be that he said all these things himself?"
Su Xin said coldly, "Since you said that he was a strong man who established a mountain stronghold, this kind of person can't wait to hide his identity. How could other people know so clearly?
These news were most likely released by him himself. It was to let people know of his past glory and instill fear in their hearts.
He gave himself a nickname, Old Wolf, but does he really think that he's a wolf king in dire straits? In fact, he's just a sick dog that has lost his courage. What's there to be afraid of?
Even if he made Dai Chong and Boss Chen suffer, these two people are just ghosts under my sword. "
Huang Bingcheng thought about it and felt that it was true. His boss wasn't someone that Dai Chong and Boss Chen could compare to.
"Let's go and meet that sick dog. Do you know the place?"
"So the people from Qing Zhu Gang definitely know."
Now, many of Su Xin's subordinates were originally from Qing Zhu Gang. Huang Bingcheng randomly pointed to a gang member who was guarding the entrance and asked, "Do you know where Old Wolf is?"
That gang member nodded and said, "I know. He's at Black Water Street."
"That's just right. Bring us there."
With a familiar person leading the way, they arrived at Black Water Street in less than a quarter of an hour.
Black Water Street of Yongle Lane was actually a slum like Zhangle Lane.
Although Yongle Lane's location wasn't as remote as Zhangle Lane, every market definitely had a rich area and a slum.
Just like how no matter how poor Zhangle Lane was, there was still Merry Forest.
Black Water Street was a long street that was shrouded in flowing sewage. No one took care of the dilapidated street, and the number of shops was pitifully small.
Even the Qing Zhu Gang wouldn't usually come to this place to collect regular money because there really weren't any shops for them to earn money from.
The pedestrians on Black Water Street looked at Su Xin's group with vigilance. Some people even had murderous looks in their eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that Huang Bingcheng and the gang member who led the way were wearing the clothes of the Flying Eagle Gang, they probably would've come out and robbed them.
These people were also considered knowledgeable. They knew who was in charge of Yongle Lane. Facing the Flying Eagle Gang, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
The gang member said cautiously, "Boss, these people aren't so easy to mess with. Most of them are Old Wolf's group of pickpockets.
They are pickpockets outside, but once they come to Black Water Street, they become murderers. They really dare to kill people here. "
Su Xin nodded, but he was thinking in his heart.
In the future, if Tie Wuqing wanted someone to take the blame, this would be a good choice.
There wasn't a single good person in Black Water Street. If he grabbed ten of them and beheaded them one by one, there would probably only be one who didn't deserve death.
At that time, if Tie Wuqing needed anything, he could directly go to Black Water Street to grab the person and send it to him. It didn't matter if he was the one who did the case or not, he could just directly put the blame on him.
The gang member directly brought Su Xin and the gang to the deepest part of Black Water Street. There was only one room there, a room with black walls and no windows other than the door.
There were two fierce-looking men at the door of the room. When they saw Su Xin and the gang coming over, they showed a trace of disdain on their faces. "What are the Flying Eagle Gang doing here? Do you also want to learn from those useless Green Bamboo Gang and provoke our boss?
Let me tell you, although our boss doesn't want to cause trouble, he's not easy to bully! Whether it's your Green Bamboo Gang or the Flying Eagle Gang, in this Black Water Street, my boss always has the final say! "
The small gang member who led the way naturally didn't dare to come to Black Water Street to provoke Old Wolf and his men.
But now that he was followed by the legendary Boss Su of the Flying Eagle Gang, what was there for him to be afraid of?
"Bah! You have the final say in Black Water Street? The entire Yongle Lane belongs to my boss, Su Xin! Now that Boss Su has come personally, why don't you let Old Wolf come out to welcome him? "The small gang member was like a fox borrowing the tiger's might, and he was quite imposing.
One of the men glanced at Su Xin and said disdainfully, "Your Flying Eagle Gang let a young boy be the big boss? I think your Flying Eagle Gang really doesn't have anyone else. "
Su Xin smiled at the man. For some reason, the man actually felt a dense chill enveloping his body. It was as if the person standing in front of him smiling was not a handsome young man, but a ferocious tiger that was choosing its prey to devour!
He was just about to say something, but the next moment, a bright sword light had already filled his eyes!
