The Wheel-Turning Master

It was getting dark, at the foot of Tianlang Mountain.

"Have you found out the origins of those two people?" The middle-aged man in green looked at the gray-clothed man who saluted respectfully.

The gray-clothed man was quite young, and he bowed his head and replied: "We have checked. The boy's name is Lin Bai, and he makes a living by selling straw sandals in Huaxi County; the girl's name is Zhong Xiuxiu, and she is the granddaughter of a doctor in a pharmacy."

"How did the straw sandal seller get involved with the people in the pharmacy?" The green-clothed man asked again.

"Replying to the elder, Lin Bai had a serious illness not long ago. After he recovered from the illness, he sold straw sandals while reading medical books. He was very famous in the market at the north gate of the city. He said he wanted to save people with medicine." The gray-clothed man replied.

"He is ambitious." The middle-aged man in green nodded and asked, "That young man knows how to advance and retreat. If he has the opportunity, he will be able to achieve something in the future. Has he been to the mountain recently? Is there anything unusual?"

"We have checked and found that he has no experience of going to the mountain." The young man in gray hesitated and said, "However, Lin Bai has a nickname, Lin Zhuanlun."

"Zhuanlun?" The middle-aged man in green frowned and asked suspiciously, "How can a mat weaver and shoe seller have a nickname? What does Zhuanlun mean?"

"This..."

The young man in gray smiled and said, "Reply to the elder, I don't know who spread the word that Lin Bai's... that He was able to move the wheel and make it turn, so he got the nickname Lin Zhuanlun. Most people used this nickname to make fun of him. Every time someone called him that, he would get angry. "

The expressionless face of the middle-aged man in green finally showed a little smile, and he said contemptuously: "Even if he has practiced boy's skills since childhood and has extraordinary talent, it is probably difficult to turn the wheel. Most of them are rumors spread by ignorant people."

He waved his hand and said: "Don't pay attention to him. Have you found any useful clues in the city?"

The gray-clothed man lowered his head and reported: "That man is very alert and does not leave any traces. Although some people were arrested, they were all mistaken arrests."

The green-clothed man waved his sleeves in displeasure.

When Lin Bai returned home, it was already dark.

In the evening, Doctor Bai invited Lin Bai to dinner. Lin Bai pretended to be polite, and finally ate a big meal after Xiuxiu whispered to stay.

Pulled the bolt and returned to the house. Lin Bai did not light the oil lamp, but fumbled with the bamboo board in his palm.

On the way back, Lin Bai heard Mu Zhen talk about an interesting story.

It was said that a poor man in the north city suddenly became rich, went to a brothel in the south city for three days, and was finally taken away by the people in the county government.

Mu Zhen's words were that good men should not go to prostitutes, not to mention the cost of money, and they might get syphilis.

But Lin Bai felt that this matter was still related to the Tianlang Mountain incident. It was not illegal to go to prostitutes, but it was mainly because the poor man "suddenly became rich".

Lin Bai collected a lot of banknotes in Tianlang Mountain that day, but he didn't dare to spend them, just to prevent this.

Now it seems that the person investigating the case is really attentive and didn't miss any abnormalities.

Lin Bai felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment. Xue Ba's line had been cut off, and others also mistakenly believed that Xue Ba died in the fight between the Axe Gang and the Qinglong Gang.

But nothing is absolute. If you are determined to investigate further, you may be involved.

Moreover, the man in green that I met today has a unique temperament and is unfathomable. He is most likely the person in charge of the pursuit of Pei Wuyong.

"But why can I feel the feeling of being on my back in advance? Does this mean that I have predicted a fatal crisis?"

Lin Bai thought for a long time and could only attribute it to the stone plate.

As for whether it really has the effect of early warning, there is no way to verify it. I can't go there again, right?

Fortunately, it didn't attract the attention of the man in green. Of course, Lin Bai felt that the other party should check his identity a little.

But it doesn't matter. Although he can't stand the deep digging, everyone who can dig is dead.

Another night of hard training, Lin Bai washed and ate, and carried the load to sell.

During this period, there must be no mistakes, just do things honestly according to the previous habits.

Arriving at the market at the city gate, Lin Bai survived the morning market, but found something wrong.

Just as he was about to leave with the load, he suddenly saw a bald head.

It was Niu Er who came. The white cloth tied on his head was soaked with blood, and the bald part in the middle was very shiny.

People at the market all called him "Second Master", and Niu Er was very proud, as if an old dog who had returned from the king's way was patrolling his territory, and he was just about to lift his legs to pee.

Lin Bai was very confused. He didn't hear Niu Er say he was coming to the market yesterday at Baicaotang, so why did he suddenly come today?

"Why did you leave the market so early? Did you see me coming and want to avoid me?" Niu Er was chewing a melon, and when he saw Lin Bai carrying a load and leaving, he asked.

"How dare I?" Lin Bai put down his courage again and asked with a smile: "Why is Second Master here today? I remember that the Qinglong Gang is helping the county government search for missing people?"

"The commotion above is over, and everyone has finished their work." Niu Er looked relaxed.

"Calling for the day?" Lin Bai fanned Niu Er with his bamboo hat and asked curiously, "Did the county magistrate find the driver and the concubine?"

"Bullshit!" Niu Er stopped eating melon and whispered, "It has nothing to do with the county magistrate. It was a man called Elder Tong who gave the order... Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

"Who is Elder Tong? Why haven't I heard of him? The one from the temple?" Lin Bai asked.

"How should I know? He's a big shot anyway!" Niu Er looked impatient.

Lin Bai had an intuition that the middle-aged man in green clothes he met yesterday was Elder Tong.

What sect did Elder Tong belong to? Why did he make the county government obey his orders?

And why did he suddenly leave? Did he not investigate Pei Wuyong's case?

Lin Bai felt that Elder Tong had made a big fuss and searched the whole city before, so how could he end up with a whimper?

"If I were Elder Tong, and I still couldn't find anyone after calling on the forces of both the black and white worlds in Huaxi County, I could make two guesses."

"First, the person who burned the corpse got something and had already fled Huaxi County in advance and hid somewhere else."

"Second, the person who burned the corpse got something and is still lurking in Huaxi County, but he is extremely alert and has not revealed any flaws."

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and made a guess: Elder Tong probably didn't leave, but just pretended to leave to let himself relax his vigilance.

Or, Elder Tong left, but left someone lurking in the dark.

Of course, it may be that I think too much...

Lin Bai thinks that he should be cautious and continue to improve his strength.

"Why are you in a daze? Did you take what I told you yesterday to heart?" Niu Er ate the melon and spit out seeds on the ground.

"What happened yesterday... I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Bai came back to his senses and wanted to say that he couldn't last long, but he couldn't say it.

After all, he has lived two lives. Throughout history, I have heard of people who defile themselves, but I have never heard of a man who defiles himself like this!

"Don't think about it!" Niu Er frowned, and the melon fell to the ground, "Come on! Let's go to a place and measure your ability!"

"Measure?" Lin Bai was stunned.

"Don't worry, she is a long-term madam. She will know if you are capable after she tests you!" Niu Er said.

What is a long-term madam?

"..." Lin Bai was scared. It was a hot day, and he felt like falling into an ice cave.

Lin Bai regretted it very much. He should have made Niu Er's head explode completely that night! Otherwise, he would not force good women into prostitution now!
