Chapter 829 There's a mole!
Xiao Ye No. 1 glanced at Xiao Yao with a cold smile, as if to say, "You want me to be the scapegoat and take the blame?"
Don't you even look at who's standing in front of you?
I used to be able to go in and out of Old Jin's casino seven times!
Xiao Yi's expression was rather unpleasant. It was one thing for these scoundrels to openly obey his words but secretly defy him, but how dare you, a newcomer, do the same?
Before Xiao Yao could speak, the guards immediately started making a fuss. None of them were a non-drinker, and who didn't know a few tricks of drinking boxing?
"Hurry up! Get the dice out! You all brought them, right?"
"Isn't that obvious? Go ask around on Mingdu's late-night food street, see who's the boss!"
"Anyone who can drink doesn't have dice? Who doesn't? Tell me and I'll make a fool of you!"
We're all drunkards, and a drunkard can be penniless, but he can't be without dice.
One by one, bamboo tubes were brought out, and a group of guards began to gamble.
Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Ye No. 1, but then heard the latter speak, "To ensure fairness, I volunteer to lead the patrol. This cushy job of accompanying the captain is yours to do. Remember to say a few good words for me!"
The guards were pleased to hear that someone had voluntarily withdrawn and casually replied with a few words.
Although Xiao Yao found it a bit strange, he didn't want to lead a patrol team out so late at night, so he quickly squeezed into the crowd and started rolling the dice.
Xiao Ye No. 1 stood aside, watching the group of guards with an expressionless face.
Soon, Xu Zhong got tired of cursing and told the guard captain to get lost.
The captain of the guards timidly crawled out of the main hall, slipped into the outer courtyard, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression turned gloomy.
He strode towards his team; he needed to vent his anger.
The guards were all seasoned drinkers, and they quickly decided on two teams. The selected members were all smiles and grins, while the unselected members stood with a sigh next to Xiao Ye No. 1, showing no intention of talking, because they had not benefited from the selection.
Xiao Yao, the vice-captain, wasn't very strong, but he was quite good at rolling dice, and he still managed to win in the end.
Upon seeing the captain of the guard return, he quickly approached him and blurted out his idea before the captain could get angry.
The guard captain originally wanted to curse, but when he heard that some people were willing to take over the patrol tonight, he thought, "Will we have a scapegoat to blame for tomorrow's scolding?"
He immediately beamed with joy and accepted the vice-captain's invitation to wash his feet.
"You guys are great. You've helped the team and deserve encouragement!" The guard captain glanced at Xiao Ye No. 1 and the others, but his gaze didn't linger on Xiao Ye No. 1.
Xiao Yao warned Xiao Ye No. 1 with his gaze, proudly claiming the idea he had proposed as his own.
Xiao Ye No. 1 lowered his head, trying hard not to laugh.
Tonight's patrol will involve checking all the previous traps, especially the underground world controlled by Xu Zhong, which is his treasure trove for making a fortune every day.
Since Xu Zhong issued the warrant, Xiao Ye No. 1 has taken down several underground factions that secretly served Xu Zhong, but these were all small-scale and did not cause Xu Zhong any real pain.
If these remaining large underground worlds are wiped out, Xu Zhong will definitely suffer a huge financial loss.
Why was Xiao Nanye able to escape the various traps set up in the underground world time and time again? The guards never considered the possibility that it was their own members who had gotten in through connections, since they were all probably distant relatives of each other.
Furthermore, since they all relied on the resources leaked from Xu Zhong's fingers to strengthen themselves, they never imagined that there would be a traitor within the guard team.
Because at most they would steal small amounts of money or take advantage of Xu Zhong's reputation to get something for free; they would never even think of betraying him.
If discovered, it wouldn't just be him who would die; all his relatives and associates would be tortured to death.
As night fell, Xu Zhong's large group of men changed shifts, and Xiao Ye No. 1 followed a burly man who was two meters tall to patrol the eastern part of the city.
"Damn it, what bad luck! Those bastards had such good luck today!" The two-meter-tall man got angrier and angrier. He used to be the king of the drinking table, but today he lost miserably.
"That's pretty unlucky. I usually see you win in just a few rounds. Could it be that you started asking for dice before you even had a drink? Did you not get any buffs?" Little Leaf No. 1 asked, feigning seriousness.
The two-meter-tall burly man seemed to agree with what Xiao Ye No. 1 said, slamming his right fist on his palm. "Brother, I think you're absolutely right! I can usually down four catties of good wine in one go! I'm known as someone who can drink a thousand catties without getting drunk! With such devotion, I'm sure I'll be favored by the god of wine! I didn't even get a drink at noon! Of course the god of wine didn't favor me! No way! Those bastards took advantage of me!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 reached out and wiped his mouth. Luckily, he was made of ice and could freely control his facial expressions. He quickly used this hand to fix his mouth in place, lest he be discovered wanting to laugh.
You may not be favored by the god of wine, but Gragas will like you.
The two-meter-tall burly man grew angrier the more he thought about it, his eyes bulging like a bull's. "Brother! I have to go back and reason with those bastards! We have to have another match!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 shook his head and said, "Brother, even if you run back and tell them now, they'll use the excuse of why you didn't say anything when you were rolling the dice to tell the captain!"
"Damn it! Watching these bastards enjoy themselves is worse than killing me!" The two-meter-tall man was so angry that he punched the air, making a cracking sound.
"If we want to get revenge, we can only try to catch Xiao Nanye tonight, but that guy is too cunning!" Xiao Ye No. 1 said without batting an eye.
The two-meter-tall strong man was so angry that his facial features were contorted in anger. He couldn't hit him, and he couldn't grab him with one hand. He was so eager to make a name for himself that he was going crazy.
Seeing that the two-meter-tall strong man's desires had been sufficiently aroused, Xiao Ye No. 1 said, "But to achieve merit, it's not just about catching this big fish, Xiao Nanye. This is a major achievement, not something you can encounter every day. If we can't find a major achievement, we'll catch a smaller one. You should understand the principle of accumulating small achievements, brother, right?"
The two-meter-tall burly man immediately turned to look at Xiao Ye No. 1, catching his breath. "Brother! You have a plan! Tell me! Don't worry, I won't steal your credit! We'll split it equally!"
Only by making contributions can you gain favor with the team leader and be valued.
Xiao Ye No. 1 chuckled, glanced around, and lowered his voice, saying, "Actually, it's quite simple. We usually help our boss keep an eye on these underworld establishments to ensure a steady flow of money. But, as the saying goes, money makes eyes light up, and alcohol emboldens. With these two combined, brother, do you think those underworld guys who collect money might have ulterior motives?"
Upon hearing this, the two-meter-tall burly man thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Probably. How could anyone know if I secretly took a gold soul coin?"
Xiao Ye No. 1 nodded, a meaningful smile on his face. "Yeah, brother. You can secretly take one gold soul coin without getting caught. The daily turnover is more than hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, so would it be discovered if you took a few hundred or a few thousand?"
The two-meter-tall man's eyes widened. He had never thought of it this way before, because Xu Zhong's punishments were terrifying, and given his coveted position in the guard team, he had many people trying to curry favor with him every day.
"You mean, you mean those guys would dare steal their master's money!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 immediately composed herself. "You said it yourself, I didn't!"
Hearing Xiao Ye No. 1 shift the blame, the two-meter-tall burly man wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he excitedly said, "If we catch these guys, we'll get both men and money! It'll be a huge achievement! Let's do it, brother!"
Xiao Ye No. 1 put his hand to his mouth to signal silence. "Shh! I didn't say that. I'm unfamiliar with this place, I can't help you, and I don't want to offend anyone. I didn't say anything, and you didn't remember anything!"
The latest novel is first published here!
After saying that, Xiao Ye No. 1 resumed his previous expression of strolling around the bustling city.
The two-meter-tall strong man thought about it and it seemed that what this brother said made sense. The newcomer had not yet established a good relationship with the guard team and did not have the captain's endorsement, so naturally he dared not offend the old hands in the underworld.
When a new official takes office, he still has to be wary of whether the local bullies are easy to deal with.
But this guy is new here, he isn't!
He's a veteran member of the guard; he even knows which streets in Mingdu have prostitutes.
In addition, he had a fairly good relationship with the captain. If he could give the captain credit and only take a small share, he would still make a profit. Moreover, if he gave the captain credit, the captain would remember him, and wouldn't he be included in the selection of confidants in the future?
The two-meter-tall strong man thought it over and over and thought it was going to work, but how was he going to catch the rat that stole the money?
He is indeed strong, but he has never experienced this before.
However, he quickly figured out how to solve it.
The two-meter-tall burly man quickly caught up with Xiao Ye No. 1, bent down, and patted him on the shoulder. "Good brother, how about this? You tell me how you caught these rats, and I'll report it. We'll split the credit, how about that?"
"Splitting it equally? That doesn't seem quite right, does it?" Xiao Ye No. 1's acting was just right, perfectly portraying his hesitation.
"Hey! That's not right! I'm the one leading the team, I'm the one doing the work, and I'm the one who pulled strings with the captain! I'm being lenient by not taking 60% of your money!" The two-meter-tall burly man's mind was quick at this moment.
Xiao Ye hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
The two-meter-tall strong man was secretly delighted and quickly assured that he would not mistreat him in any way.
Xiao Ye No. 1 maintained a very good expression, forcing herself not to laugh out loud.
"There's a mole inside! Halt the transaction!"
Who is the mole?
Who would complain to the homeroom teacher?
A child who complains to the homeroom teacher will be ostracized by the whole class.
The burly man received a brilliant plan and immediately led a group of men to a large underground world.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye No. 1 smiled leisurely and went shopping with his patrol team for the night. As for maintaining the underworld, he didn't care.
Xiao Nanye is him. When he doesn't come out to work, these underground worlds are the most peaceful.
On a tall building not far behind Xiao Ye No. 1, two figures dressed in long robes stood quietly, their gazes fixed on Xiao Ye No. 1.
"Good heavens, if it weren't for the recent commotion in the underworld, I wouldn't have known this little guy had created a clone to wreak havoc in Mingdu!"
"Old man, Nanxiao is your grand-disciple, how can you, as his grandmaster, be so indifferent?"
