Chapter 40: The Scam of the Century

After listening to the narrative of the royal power, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. I didn't expect that there would be such a thrilling story behind such a small photo.

I stared at the black-and-white photo with a complicated expression, and my heart felt like I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and I didn't know what it tasted like. Wang Quan saw that I was stunned, but he didn't say anything, and poured a glass of rice wine by himself, and drank it all.

After being silent for a long time, Wang Quan sighed and opened the conversation again: "Don't be in a daze, I haven't finished talking about this yet." ”

"Ah?" I came to my senses after listening to the words of the king, "It's not over yet, then you can say it quickly!" I urged him anxiously.

"Be prepared for the rest and don't be shocked for a while. Wang Quan raised his head and drank a glass of rice wine again, and said: "After listening to the old man's words at the time, I reacted like you, and I didn't feel good in my heart.

After the old man finished speaking, he trembled and handed the photo to me, and said: "This is the last photo I took, but unfortunately the commissioner didn't get it, and I don't know if he was killed by the Japanese devils. ’

After the old man said this, his expression seemed to be a little older. I hurriedly took the photo, and I felt very guilty, but I couldn't help it, this was the only clue I found, so I could only bite the bullet and continue to lie to the old man.

But I also wanted to help the old man do something, and suddenly it occurred to me that the old man had been mentioning the commissioner, I thought I should have a way to help him inquire,"

"Stop, stop, you say you can help the old man find the commissioner of the past?" I stared at the king in disbelief.

Wang Quan looked at me and said disdainfully: "Why are you staring so big? Although Ben Shao is handsome and dashing, he can't help but look at you so eagerly. ”

"You don't disgust me for a day, are you covered in maggots? Tell me quickly, tell me honestly! How are you so sure you can find the commissioner?" I said viciously.

"Tsk, you still say I'm disgusting, what kind of maggot did you have this day? But you ask this matter can be regarded as a state secret, now you are blessed, become a good brother of Ben Shao, Ben Shao will reveal a little to you, Ben Shao's family was in charge of this secret work back then......" Wang Quan first boasted, then looked around, and said in a low voice.

I gasped, although I knew that this kid was the second generation of officials, but I didn't expect this kid's background to be so deep.

"Okay, okay, I can't say any more, let's get down to business," Wang Quan quickly changed the subject, and continued what he had just said: "Where did you just go? Oh yes, I said that I wanted to help the old man find the commissioner, and I also counted one of the old man's wishes, so I asked the old man: 'Old man, do you remember what the commissioner looked like? I see if I can also find his old man, so that you can meet and talk about the old days. ’

As soon as the old man heard what I said, he immediately came to his senses again, and his voice trembled a little with excitement: 'Young man, I really have to thank you if you can find the commissioner!'Oh! By the way, you asked me what this commissioner looks like, right?'

You see that I am an old fool, I forgot to tell you when I am happy, that commissioner wears a black robe all the year round, about 175 tall, very sturdy, born with a national face, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, wide nose and square mouth, at a glance is extraordinary, if you can find this commissioner, then old man, I will thank you in advance!" I hurriedly helped the old man up, and quickly promised to stabilize him, saying that I would do my best, and the old man was very grateful, saying that the commissioner was his benefactor, and if it weren't for him, he might have been tortured by the Japanese devils and had a mental breakdown. I chatted with the old man for a while, and then took my leave.

When I came out of the old man's house, I took the car and went straight to my grandfather's house, and the commissioner described by the old man did not seem to be an idle person, maybe my grandfather was also the number one person under him at that time, and I saw if I could get something out of my grandfather's mouth. Regardless of whether the commissioner is dead or alive, there is an explanation.

Usually my grandfather is very serious, and others are trembling when they see him, even my old man, but I am the only grandson of the old man, so I

My grandfather was not so strict with me, and I often went to his house to chat with him, bring him tea and water, and many stories were told to me by his old man.

On the way to his old man's house, I was thinking about what to do with him. Fortunately, Ben Shao is very witty, and with his understanding of my grandfather, he came up with a way.

When I got to my grandfather's house, I started to do everything I could, and finally succeeded in completing the mission, but the result, guess what!"

When the boy Wang Quan spoke of rising, he began to put on the posture of a storyteller again, so anxious that I wanted to give him a lump in his face.

"What's the matter!" I said urgently, before I had time to squeeze him.

"My grandfather said that his subordinates don't have this person at all!" Wang Quan slapped the table, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all again.

"Huh, what?" Even though the royal power had warned me not to be surprised, I couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, the people outside also looked into the compartment suspiciously, probably wondering where the neurosis came from.

Wang Quan was also taken aback by me, and quickly stood up and covered my mouth, pressed me to the seat, and scolded in a low voice: "You are going to go to the sky!

As he pushed me into my seat, I asked, "No, this person?"

Hearing me ask this, Wang Quan also frowned, and his two thick eyebrows were twisted together, like two caterpillars. He took another sip of wine, and then said: "Qi is strange here, I asked my grandfather several times, but my grandfather is very sure, there is really no such person under his hands, my grandfather said, it may also be the Kuomintang spy pretending, at that time the War of Resistance against Japan was in sight, so the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also began to look like a god, the situation is very complicated, and the identity of that person has become a mystery." ”

I forcibly suppressed the thousand waves in my heart, and also poured a sip of wine: "So, the old man has been deceived by an unknown person for nearly a century, and he is still in the dark until now?"

When I said that, I couldn't help but chill all over, people are really complex animals, and the person who dragged you out of the sea of suffering may have thrown you into another deeper trap, and you didn't know it, and you were grateful to him.

Wang Quan listened to my words, and there was no interface, just a heavy nod.

There was silence again, and after a long while, Wang Quan spoke: "Now I don't know how to explain to the old man, alas, good buddy, this time I really made a mistake, you say, should I tell the old man the truth?"

After listening to Wang Quan's words, I also began to feel embarrassed in my heart: Telling the old man? Isn't that tantamount to denying everything he has done? This kind of blow is a bit too heavy for an old man who is nearly 100 years old. But if you don't tell him, he will be kept in the dark all his life, born and died, but he doesn't know who to make a wedding dress for.

I discussed with Wang Quan for a while, and finally decided: I will go to see the old man tomorrow and make a decision according to his mental state.

After this long talk, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, we looked at the photo in our hands again, I asked Wang Quan if he could see where this was, Wang Quan was drunk, it is estimated that he didn't even know how much one plus one equals, and he couldn't see where it was for a while, so we planned to go back to his residence first and then think about it in the long run.

Wang Quan put the photo away, settled the account, and the two of us helped each other out of the restaurant under the strange eyes of the people around us.

Out of the door of the restaurant, a gust of wind blew, we both sobered up a lot, Wang Quan stepped on the little electric donkey, I was also confused, holding his shoulder, and asked: "Hey, you still can't make it? Don't break my dragon body, besides, can the imperial capital electric donkey catch drunk driving?"

Wang Quan said with the strength of the wine: "Catch a fart, don't look at Lao Tzu drinking too much, just this little electric donkey, not I blow it, Lao Tzu can ride upside down with his eyes closed, don't that idleness, hurry up!"

"I said, why is it so windy outside? It's your kid who blows it!" I laughed as I stepped into the back seat of the little electric donkey, and both of them drank in a daze, and the king activated the electric donkey and drove slowly to the shop.
