Although I don't know what the idea of the person named Yao Xianming is, but after all, this product is too much Wang Bingzhang found himself, since he promised on the phone that he would go to the banquet, Tang Cheng ignored the persuasion of Zhao Dashan and others. It's just that it suddenly rained before dinner, which made Zhao Dashan, who was already worried, even more worried, "If I don't go out every time it rains, then I can only move to the arid and rainy northwest to herd horses and cattle as a herdsman." ”

Braving the rain, Tang Cheng went to the banquet alone, and he wanted to deliberately create the effect that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger to confuse the other party. The place where I made an appointment with Yao Xianming was the Drunken Immortal Building, and when Tang Cheng personally drove here, the rain not only did not get lighter, but it also became heavier and heavier. In a private room on the second floor of the Zuixian Building, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other, and the man in a short cardigan had a thin face, bald head, buck teeth, and a pair of triangular eyes that were not good people at first glance.

Another middle-aged man sitting opposite him was wearing a suit, looking calm, although wrinkles had appeared on his forehead, the hair on the top of his head was still as black as ink, and he couldn't see half a white hair. The one in the suit is Yao Xianming, who had spoken to Tang Cheng on the phone before, this person has been in the robe brother club very early, but after he has been concentrating on business and has a lot of wealth, this time if it wasn't for his friends, he would definitely not have participated in the matter of entering Qingxi Hall.

Sitting opposite him, the triangular eye in a short cardigan was Cao Jiang, a friend who had known Yao Xianming since childhood, and the helmsman of the East Hall of the City Huidong. Cao Jiang, who was already a little impatient, reached out and rubbed his bald head by inertia, and then asked Yao Xianming. "Old Yao, is that kid coming? We've been waiting for this for a while! Or forget it! Just wait for Lao Tzu to go back and send a few brothers to kill him. ”

What kind of virtue are Cao Jiang's subordinates, how can Yao Xianming not know that those outlaws in Qingxitang are not the opponents of that kid, and those rabble under Cao Jiang are afraid that they will be given in vain if they go. "It's okay, it's raining today, let's just wait a little longer, even if that kid doesn't come, aren't the two of us drinking and chatting together! If you think about it, we haven't been drinking and chatting together for a while, have we? Yao Xianming's few words eased Cao Jiang's emotions, and Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the door of the private room at this moment, frowned secretly.

When Tang Cheng promised Yao Xianming, he already knew that there was no good banquet, and when he heard the conversation between the two in the private room, Tang Cheng did not worry about himself because of Cao Jiang's words, but secretly beware of Yao Xianming. It was similar to what Tang Cheng expected, when Tang Cheng pushed the door and entered the private room, Cao Jiang's expression and eyes immediately showed vigilance and fear, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, he had already seen that this Cao Jiang was just a strong outsider.

But Yao Xianming got up and stood up, stretching out his right hand to show favor before Tang Cheng, and there was nothing unusual in his eyes and expression. "I have admired Captain Tang's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really a hero!" Although Tang Cheng was secretly wary of Yao Xianming in his heart, he couldn't see anything unusual in his expression, following the other party's flattering words, Tang Cheng also replied to Yao Xianming a few words, this kind of mutual blowing method on the wine table, Tang Cheng from later generations is no stranger.

After the three of them got to know each other, they sat down at the round table, compared with Cao Jiang, who was a little restrained, Yao Xianming was a person who was good at grasping details, and with him present to adjust, although the atmosphere in the private room was not warm, it was reasonable. "Forget the wine!" Yao Xianming took the wine jug and was about to pour wine for Tang Cheng in front of him, but Tang Cheng reached out to cover the wine glass. "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and the master invited by my family said that I can't touch wine before I am 20 years old."

Tang Cheng refused Yao Xianming to pour wine, whether it was Yao Xianming or Cao Jiang, his face was not very good-looking. In order to prove that what he said just now was not an excuse, Tang Cheng had no choice but to smash two empty wine glasses with his bare hands in front of Yao Xianming and the others, and also smashed the low table in the corner with one punch. Brother Chuandi's robe is not all reckless, among them, there are many people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, Tang Cheng's hand looks ordinary, but there are not many people who can really do it.

Tang Cheng's hand confirmed the reason why he didn't like wine, and Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang's faces gradually eased. Tang Cheng replaced wine with tea, and after three rounds of wine with Yao Xianming, he took the initiative to ask about Qingxitang. "Mr. Yao, I like to do things straight, since this meal is for Qingxitang's affairs, then we might as well have something to say. What do you really want? What are the benefits of me doing this? What is your relationship with Gyeongsedo? ”

The three questions asked by Tang Cheng one after another made Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang a little uncomfortable with this way of talking, and it sounded like Tang Cheng was interrogating the two of them. Cao Jiang was about to have a seizure as soon as he glared, but Yao Xianming stretched out his hand to stop him, "Captain Tang, you may not be familiar with the Pao Ge Tang in Chongqing City, although Qingxi Tang is not famous, it can be regarded as a branch of the righteous word. You suddenly uprooted Qingxitang, and we, who are both righteous prefixes, naturally want to ask a few words. ”

Yao Xianming still didn't know what Tang Cheng was after all, so when he answered, he also used ambiguous words, and Tang Cheng immediately slammed the water cup in his hand on the table. "Mr. Yao, how do I think you are threatening me with this! That is to say, I must release people according to your wishes, otherwise this Boss Cao next to you is preparing to arrange for his subordinates to assassinate me! ”

"Smack!" As soon as there was a sound, Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang didn't see Tang Cheng's movements clearly, and they saw that Tang Cheng had already slapped a pistol on the table. "My personality is different from ordinary people, I like the life of bullets and bullets, if you want to send someone to kill me, then it's better to hurry, I'm afraid I'll find you first when I'm in a hurry." Tang Cheng's words revealed a strong anger, and his eyes showed undisguised killing intent.

Yao Xianming, who secretly screamed in his heart, hurriedly gave Cao Jiang a look, and then turned his head to look at Tang Cheng with a smile on his face. "Captain Tang, we didn't mean that, before coming here, Director Wang had already told us that Captain Tang was a bright and upright person, and when dealing with people like you, we naturally want to be upright." Aboveboard? Tang Cheng was a little dissatisfied with these four words coming out of Yao Xianming's mouth, and said in his heart that you two old gangsters are also worthy of saying these four words!

Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang showed one red face and one white face, but it was a pity that Tang Cheng didn't eat this set at all, so Yao Xianming had to give in first. "Captain Tang, it's a little interesting, please accept it." A small wooden box was slowly pushed to Tang Cheng by Yao Xianming on the table, Tang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang, and then opened the box with a big grin, only to find that the box contained gold bars. "Captain Tang, here are ten small yellow croakers, as long as you let Qingxitang go, we will also offer ten of these small yellow croakers."

Tang Cheng pouted secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart that one small yellow croaker gold bar weighs only more than thirty grams, and 20 gold bars are only more than six hundred grams. Tang Cheng, who wanted to take advantage of Qingxitang's matter, did not hide his pouting action, Yao Xianming secretly felt pain after seeing Tang Cheng's pouting action, he already understood what Tang Cheng meant, this is because he is giving less.

Yao Xianming coughed lightly, and Cao Jiang, who looked impatient, had to lean over and take out a suitcase from under the table, "Captain Tang, there are only so many gold bars, I don't know how much you know about antique calligraphy and painting?" Yao Xianming reached out and took the suitcase in Cao Jiang's hand and put it on the table. Here are a few Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings and two sets of Ming Dynasty palace jewelry, which are also rare on the market. Yao Xianming didn't open the suitcase, but the corners of Tang Cheng's eyes still jumped a few times because of Yao Xianming's words.

Palace-made jewelry, spread to the market is really rare, especially on behalf of the Han orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty palace, after hundreds of years of Qing Dynasty rule, can still be handed down Ming Dynasty palace jewelry that is even rarer. When Tang Cheng was in Nanjing and Shanghai before, he did not take advantage of his position to draw antiques to his home, because he knew that once the situation stabilized, these things that are not worth much at present will be turned out at sky-high prices.

Tang Cheng's eyes flashed, and he was not polite immediately, and reached out to take the suitcase on the table. "The affairs of Qingxitang are also easy to handle, but now there is a problem, I know that Qingxitang is because of the instigation of someone behind it, so he will set up a situation to harm me. But no matter how much I asked, the people behind the scenes didn't explain to the people behind the scenes, which made it difficult for me to do it. Later, I will meet with the people of Qingxitang in that row, and if you can persuade them to explain who is behind the scenes, I will promise you to let Qingxitang go. ”

Tang Cheng's request was not excessive, Yao Xianming and Cao Jiang were also busy agreeing, and Yao Xianming, who was behind the scenes who instructed the person in Qingxitang to know some of the inside story, didn't take it seriously at all, because that person was not as important as his brother's life after all. With 20 gold bars and a box of calligraphy and painting jewelry in hand, Yao Xianming's painful expression made Tang Cheng feel that this trip was not in vain, and when he left the Drunken Immortal Tower, the triumphant Tang Cheng walked away humming a little song.

"Captain, what should we do about those shops in Qingxi Hall?" Seeing Tang Cheng's safe return, Zhao Dashan knew that Tang Cheng must have agreed with the other party, but the next moment, Zhao Dashan began to worry about the shops that had been confiscated from Qingxitang. According to Brother Pao's rules, since he has already received the gift money from the other party, he should be released immediately.

"Are you stupid? I promised them to release them, but I didn't say that I would return the shops to them. It is a waste of time and energy to catch them, how can you do it without taking a little compensation? Unless you give up the bonus automatically in the future, I don't care! Tang Cheng's answer made Zhao Dashan and the others shake their heads again and again, because no one would take the initiative to refuse a large amount of bonuses.
