Chapter 243 "The cat catches the mouse"

As night fell, Zhang Chen, Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui came out of Shuntian Mansion.

"I didn't expect there would be a reward for this trip, hehe!"

Li Dazui weighed the money bag in his hand and said.

"You don't want to look at how many good things you can find from these salt dealers."

Bai Zhantang said nonchalantly, not caring about the reward given by the government.

Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head, with no intention of interrupting.

After the three of them returned to the inn, Li Dazui went back to rest with a smile, while Bai Zhantang looked at Zhang Chen and reminded: "The Salt Gang is not easy to mess with. I saw that Lao Xing and the others were very excited before, so I still have to remind him

Be careful during this time.”

Zhang Chen nodded. I'm afraid Capt. Xing himself wasn't very clear about this. Otherwise, if there were so many captors and agents in Shuntian Prefecture, why would Dandan look for the two newcomers who had just joined the job?

However, Zhang Chen had no intention of directly telling Mr. Xing about these issues, because he had to experience some things personally before he could know what was allowed to touch in the capital.

"Hey~, who made this era the norm?"

Zhang Chen sighed secretly in his heart.

On the second day.

Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu hurriedly came to the inn.

"Lao Xing, what are you doing?"

Bai Zhantang, who was greeting the guests, asked doubtfully.

"Don't mention it, I'm here to discuss something with you."

Mr. Xing sat down at the long table and said.

"Hey, where is Xiaochen?"

There was no Zhang Chen in the inn lobby. Then, Capt. Xing asked about Zhang Chen's whereabouts.

"He should still be upstairs. Are you looking for something to do with him?"

Captain Xing waved his hand after hearing this.

"Didn't we arrest the salt dealer? The next step is to take down the buyer behind the scenes."

Yan Xiaoliu added.

Bai Zhantang was startled, then asked in a low voice: "Our neighbors have all bought illegal salt, how can we catch them?"

Captain Xing explained in a low voice: "After our overnight surprise interrogation, we found that these salt dealers were selling in an organized and premeditated manner, and the salt they usually gave to these neighbors was only sold secretly.

In fact, their main buying and selling channels are bulk transactions, and this time we are trying to find out the buyer behind this bulk transaction."

While the three of them were talking, Zhang Chen yawned and walked down the stairs.

After returning yesterday, he took another trip to the Shenhou Mansion, which took a lot of time.

"Huh? Uncle Xing, Xiaoliu, why are you two here so early?"

Zhang Chen saw the figures of Xing Captou and Xiao Liu at a glance.

Bai Zhantang grabbed Zhang Chen's arm, pulled him to the corner and asked: "Have you not told Lao Xing about the Salt Gang? They are both going to investigate the big buyer behind the scenes now!"

Zhang Chen looked confused. He had just come down from upstairs, so he had no idea what they were talking about. Then, Bai Zhantang explained the story of Mr. Xing's arrest in concise language.

Only then did Zhang Chen suddenly realize. Zhang Chen clapped his hands and murmured to himself: "Let me tell you, why is Shuntian Mansion going crazy and asking for private salt dealers? The amount these people usually use is not worth mentioning at all.

I’m afraid that the amount of transactions this time was so large that some people couldn’t sit still, so they asked the people from Shuntian Prefecture to catch these private salt dealers. It seems that they are planning to knock the mountain to shake off the tiger.”

Bai Zhantang heard Zhang Chen's words clearly, pondered for a moment and then agreed with Zhang Chen's point of view. There must be an invisible game here.

"No, we can't care about their dirty tricks. Now we're talking about Lao Xing and Xiao Liu. Don't let them get too involved. Otherwise, they'll be in trouble if they can't withdraw in the end!"

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, this Shuntian Mansion is not just Uncle Xing and Xiaoliu, I'm afraid our Lord Lou has already made arrangements!"

Yesterday, he met Lou Zhixian. He is now the third-in-command of Shuntian Prefecture, but he is an old man immersed in officialdom. Zhang Chen does not believe that he did not see the relationship clearly.

Bai Zhantang felt relieved and took Zhang Chen back to the long table.

"Just got up? I have a letter here that Mr. Lou taught me. He asked me to hand it into your hands personally when I came to the inn today."

Capt. Xing greeted Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen responded with a bright smile. Then Capt.

Zhang Chen took the letter, opened it and read on.

After a while, Zhang Chen sighed and said: "Ginger is still spicy when you are old!"

"Xiaochen?"

Xing Captou asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing. Mr. Lou asked you two to stay at the inn for a few days..."

Zhang Chen had just begun to speak, but was interrupted by Xing Captou before he could finish speaking.

"Wait? How many days will you stay in the inn? Then the buyer behind the scenes won't check?"

Xing Baotou asked eagerly.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lou means to let Xiao Liu stay undercover in the inn alone, and then act secretly."

Zhang Chen explained.

"Then if I become an undercover agent, who will patrol the streets for me?"

Xiao Liu asked the key point.

Zhang Chen shrugged. He was a serious Liumen consultant. Although he was a non-staff member, he was still a member of the family. Of course, it was impossible for him to enter Shuntian Mansion.

Several people glanced at Bai Zhantang.

"I?"

Bai Zhantang looked confused. He just wanted Zhang Chen to persuade Xing to arrest the head. Now that Lou Zhi County has a solution, he certainly doesn't want to join in the fun anymore.

"That's right, it's you, Brother Bai!"

Zhang Chen shook the letter in his hand and explained aloud: "And this is Lou Zhixian's intention. He wants you to take on the post of catcher openly, in order to prevent the revenge of those who slipped through the net."

After Xing Xingtou thought for a while, he said with approval: "Your Excellency, you really know how to use people and make good use of them. Lao Bai is strong enough to be the head catcher. Lao Bai, I am optimistic about you!"

Afterwards, Mr. Xing also made a joke about Bai Zhantang.

"What does this have to do with me? I don't want to get into trouble."

Bai Zhantang declined.

"Don't worry, can't you see that this is just a delaying tactic? Mr. Lou is also afraid that Uncle Xing and Xiaoliu will get angry and get retaliated if they continue to investigate.

That’s why we used this undercover operation to let him come to our inn to take shelter. After this gust of wind, no one will pay attention to them anymore."

Zhang Chen sent a message saying that he told Bai Zhantang about his and Lou Zhixian's plan.

Bai Zhantang nodded and reluctantly agreed.

Xing Baotou and Xiaoliu were overjoyed, and then Xing Baotou whispered: "This operation is extremely confidential. Mr. Lou named it "Cat Catching Mouse"."

Zhang Chen thought to himself: "Cat catches mouse? It's still unclear who is the cat and who is the mouse. Xiaoliu, you'd better stay undercover in the inn and go back after the matter is completely settled."
