Chapter 1043 The Tang Brothers

When Yang Yi relied on approaching the town, he happened to see the Ouchi guards leading the officers and soldiers to strengthen the inspection of the city gate.

After all, the princess disappeared not long ago and should not have been far away. After blocking the traffic arteries near Wangyun Mountain, they immediately started investigating people entering and leaving the town.

Putting aside everything else, Ouchi's guards must be extremely angry about this matter. Don't underestimate the bond between yourself and the nine clans. If this matter is not handled well, the worst possible outcome is to have the whole family executed.

But having said that, this town is said to be a small town, and its actual size is definitely not something that can be seen by just walking around a few times. Finding a carriage full of furs here is obviously not an easy task.

Yang Yiyi told the clues she had obtained so far to the Ouchi guards who were checking the carriage at the door, and asked them to mobilize local police officers and government officials to search the whole city. With more manpower, the search would naturally be faster.

Of course, the premise is that the prisoner did not change the carriage carrying the princess. This possibility...

Anyway, Li Chengqi thought it was very low. Changing means of transportation was the basis for committing this kind of crime. Simply looking for a carriage might only lead to an empty shell.

Matters that require large-scale searches are left to local police officers and government officials, who are more professional.

Being alone doesn't mean that Yang Yiyi just has to sit and wait. There are other things to do.

For example, we can study what is going on with the sword spike with the word "Tang" written on it.

Li Chengqi didn't quite believe that Tang Feng Company would be involved in this kind of thing about nine tribes having fun, but after all, it was a clue, so he still had to check it out.

So Yang Yiyi asked if there was any Tang Feng store in the city, and then went straight to the store to ask.

Ah, yes, it’s that direct.

After all, this is in the city, so there is no need to worry about traps and the like. If someone really wants to kill someone, Yang Yiyi can just run to the road and shout to call for the arrest.

Tang Feng Company does not have a specific store in the local area, but there is a cargo depot. You can find it by just asking around.

There are many porters coming in and out of the cargo station. This is a place similar to a logistics warehouse. The cargo throughput is very large, and you can indeed see things like furs.

"What's wrong with this heroine?"

A man who looked like he was in charge of the warehouse and was holding a ledger noticed Yang Yiyi who was wandering around in the house. He saw that she was from the Jianghu community and did not look like a market rogue looking for trouble, so he came up to inquire.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yiyi, will tell you the truth. I have something to ask Tang Feng Company for help."

Upon hearing Yang Yiyi's name, the man looked at the mace on Yang Yiyi's back, immediately closed the account book and bowed very respectfully.

"It turns out to be Miss Yang. I'm disrespectful. The eldest lady mentioned you. No matter what trouble you have, you can come to my Tang Feng store at any time."

As early as when she first met Tang Lianyu, she once said that if you have trouble, just go to Tang Feng's firm and report your name, and they will definitely help you solve it.

It's just that Yang Yiyi is thin-skinned and has never come to Tang Feng Store to open her mouth.

"Is the heroine short of money, or are you looking for something that is in short supply?"

"Neither."

Normally, they should exchange greetings, but time was pressing, so Yang Yiyi bluntly took out the sword spike with the Chinese character "Tang" written on it:

"Could this thing be related to your company?"

The accountant took the sword spike with some doubts and looked up and down.

"This item does not belong to my company."

Yang Yiyi stared at the accountant's expression closely, trying to see if there were any details such as a slight change in his face, but no, the accountant's expression remained normal, as if he was not lying.

Of course, even if it is, the other party will definitely not admit it happily.

Just as he was about to follow Li Chengqi's instructions, the accountant suddenly said:

"This thing seems to belong to the Tang brothers."

"Tang brothers?"

"These Tang brothers have nothing to do with my Tang Feng business. They are a local wealthy family, but their reputation..."

The accountant shook his head:

"I heard that the brothers' father and grandfather were pretty good people and had a good reputation in the local area. However, when they came to the brothers, they relied on their family's money to have good relations with the government and bullied men and women. Many people in the city saw them. They all have to hide and go.”

It sounds like the bad taste of a landlord.

"How to find them?"

"Why is Heroine looking for them? Those are not good people."

Yang Yiyi hesitated a few words, and the accountant thought for a while. Anyway, Yang Yiyi, a famous heroine in the world, should not be afraid of such local snakes, so he said:

"I heard that the brothers recently colluded with the government and took the gambling house in the city into their own hands. I guess I should be able to find them if I go to the gambling house during this time."

"Thank you sir."

Yang Yiyi cupped her hands and was about to leave when Yu Gui in her arms shook. Only then did she remember that she still had unfinished lines.

"Also, please trouble me and send someone to the government office to tell me that I have important clues."

The accountant looked confused, as if to say, why is this?

This is to keep an eye out.

If there is no problem with Tang Feng Company, they will naturally do as Yang Yiyi said. After all, it is just a trivial matter such as tipping off information, and it is not a difficult matter.

If they try to fool them, this could be a big problem.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

I inquired with Tang Feng Company and got a clue about the Tang brothers, a local snake. However, this clue was relatively weak. After all, the words were unfounded and there was not enough support to support them.

Yang Yiyi is not very cunning, but Li Chengxi is. She tried to test Tangfeng Company. She said she was leaving, but in fact she was hiding near the cargo station of Tangfeng Company. Sure enough, not long after she left, she saw a servant hurried out. Yang Yiyi followed him all the way until he really entered the government office.

Tangfeng Company’s problems were not serious, and the accountant’s words were naturally credible. Now was the time to confirm whether the Tang brothers had any problems.

It was a coincidence that the gambling house of the Tang brothers was just on the way to the government office. After Yang Yiyi saw the servant enter the government office, she immediately turned back and soon saw a place with a door curtain with the word "gamble" hanging on the door.

Human nature is to like gambling. From ancient times to the present, it has never changed. At most, the way of gambling has changed, such as krypton gold card drawing.

There are quite a lot of people going in and out of the gambling house. Yang Yiyi put on a scarf and a bamboo hat, and lifted the door curtain and walked in without revealing that she was a woman.

In the casino, card tables were arranged in a mess, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and enthusiasm. Some people were in high spirits, while others were dejected.

Yang Yiyi had never been to a casino before, because her family had taught her since she was a child that gambling could harm you for life, and that you should never gamble even if you had money, even if you threw it into the river.

It was also the first time that Li Chengxi saw what a casino looked like outside of a movie. After all, in his place, mahjong parlors were often checked by the police to see if they were involved in gambling.

But here, casinos are legal.

He had entered, but the question now was, how could he find the princess?
