October 20, Lu Fu

"I said this Director Gu......" Sikong Xi secretly glanced at the darkness behind him, a little afraid of doing something wrong, "Are we really going out?" ”

Gu Key turned around and smiled, "What?" Are you scared? Look at your cowardice! ”

"No...... No. Sikong Xi stammered, "But it's already evening...... It's time for everyone to eat in the public kitchen. ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Listen to me accurately, Governor Lu usually doesn't control us too much, and as the director of the Supervision Department, it is also necessary for me to go outside to inspect! ”

"Then why did we have to sneak around when we went out the other day?" Sikong Xi asked rhetorically.

Now it's the turn of the ancient key to stammer, and he doesn't know what to say.

"That'...... That's it! A few days ago, it was the day when Captain Yan Lingjun came to give an errand to Governor Lu! He prevaricated, "The lieutenant's personality is relatively strict, I don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise he will be angry!" ”

"Come on, you. Where are the guards who still have the work of going out to patrol at night? Aren't you shooting yourself in the foot? Hey...... also said that I was cowardly, I think you just killed the fat man! ”

"Are you a good kid? I know to refute the Director! "The ancient key is about to hit him.

"Don't do it! I'm telling the truth! Sikong Xi suddenly changed his tone, "Say, is today the day you send the moon?" ”

Gu Key was stunned for a moment, "You can see this." That's right, today is the day of my monthly delivery, and I want to take this opportunity to take you out to be happy and eat something good. ”

"First of all, it's not that I want to be tough to eat and drink," Sikong Xi looked serious, "It was your Director Gu who invited me to go!" ”

"Yes, yes, I've lost to you!"

The ancient key quietly took out the key and poked it into the keyhole on the main door, and after a slight stirring, the copper lock opened in response, and he quickly jumped out.

"But the new manager really listened to you, and even gave you the key." Sikong Xi couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, he also has a request for me. As I said before, my secretary is responsible for supervision, and this supervision also includes monitoring the situation in the back house. ”

"If the manager wants me to protect him, he will give me a small favor to win me over." Gu Jian whispered, "But how am I that kind of person, I accept what he gives me, but I never respond to his requests. He didn't dare to do anything to me! ”

"In this way, you and Cheng Bi are like a raccoon dog." Sikong Xi glanced at him with slanted eyes.

Gu Key shrugged innocently, "I didn't ask that old thing to give me money, he gave it to me because he had to give it to me. ”

Sikong Xi stopped, turned around and locked the copper lock.

In the night market of Yongan Street, the lights are constantly lit and the noisy shouting is endless.

Sikong Xi and the others wandered leisurely on the street, they didn't have a fixed place to go on this trip, to put it bluntly, that is, they were shy in their pockets, even if it was issued by the ancient key, it was not enough to spend a lot of money on Yong'an Street, but this was just the situation that the ancient key had always told him.

"If it were me, I would never give so much baht to that peasant man, he is usually very poor as a native, and he definitely doesn't know how to spend it when he has money at this time!" Sikong Xi muttered as he walked, kicking the pebbles under his feet aside, "Violent ......"

Sikong Xi suddenly retracted his voice, and in his ears, which were already extremely sensitive, he heard the sound of pulling out the sheath. It was Gu Key's waist knife that was out of the sheath, and he didn't look back, but the breath on his body was terrifyingly cold.

Sikong Xi was stunned for a long time, and when he reacted again, the ancient key had already walked out for a long time. He was just about to follow, only to find that his back was soaking wet. He regretted a little that he had said those words that he had not been able to do for a long time.

"Director......" He followed behind Gu Key, his voice low and pitiful.

"How?" Gu Key squinted at him, with a terrifying cold light in his eyes.

"No, no...... I mean, why don't we just have fun here? Sikong Xi shuddered, and turned his head to look at the two red candle cages hanging high in front of the wine shop.

The candlelight in the lantern is very strong, as if it was just added, but it has been a long time since the night, and the oil candle is still new, obviously the wine shop here has a special person who is responsible for replacing the oil candle, which is enough to show that the consumption of this wine shop is not low.

Sikong Xi craned his neck to look at the half-open door of the wine shop, but he couldn't see anything, the space inside was enough to make the door crack not show any details, he was a little stunned, is this kind of wine shop really a pastime they can enjoy?

"Let's go in first." Gu Jian let out a long sigh and pushed the door through Sikong Xi.

Sikong Xi was stunned, "Director Gu, but we don't have any money......"

"Why is there so much?" Gu Key looked a little impatient, "Are you still afraid that I won't be able to pay and mortgage you here?" ”

Sikong Xi wanted to say something, but at this time he suddenly thought of something, about Gu Key's drunken idle talk about his life experience. He hurriedly followed up with the liquor store in a hurry, for fear of missing anything.

As soon as he entered the door, the warm breath in the wine shop made Sikong Xi close his eyes slightly, and his whole body seemed to be overflowing with daylight. And when he opened his eyes again, he had already gone deep into the inside of the wine shop. The Ancient Key pulled him like a chicken and walked to the counter.

It can be said that it is a very luxurious place. However, the staggered and luxurious table and chair pattern shows the pride of any kind of customer in this wine shop all the time.

"It turned out to be Director Gu...... Forgive the villain's clumsy eyes for missing the distance, please inside. As soon as the shopkeeper who was standing by the counter and carefully counting the accounts saw the ancient key, he hurriedly ran over to make a salute.

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I'll go by myself." Gu Jian approached the shopkeeper, "Tonight's wine money, and record it in my account first, and I'll ask my subordinates to send it over the next day." ”

"What is Director Gu talking about, how can the villain be stingy with that little wine money...... Please feel free to do so, I will open my door here to welcome you at any time. ”

Gu Key nodded, and just wanted to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper again. Sikong Xi beside him looked at the shopkeeper and was a little strange, as if he was afraid of something.

Director Gu ...... I don't know what to do with those dirty things? The shopkeeper quietly looked around and asked in a low voice, "They've been dishonest again...... lately."

"You mean 'Shadowman'?" The Ancient Key glanced at him.

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, "Yes...... Be. ”

"I'll deal with it," Gu Key waved his hand, "These dirty things should have been uprooted by me." ”

"I wish Chief Gu to plough the court and sweep the holes." The shopkeeper pressed his body until the ancient key was already seated.

At the table, there are two people with a huge age gap. The old man in the big coat could not see the face hidden in it, and he kept pouring the wine into the glass, pouring it one after another, and the amount of wine made the passers-by shocked.

And the jade-faced boy who sat across from him was a lot more reserved, and when he occasionally tasted the wine, he just smashed his mouth to taste the mellow taste in the wine syrup. The boy always held a folding fan in his hand, and the aura emanating from his body also reflected that he was a nobleman. Childe quietly looked at the small plate of appetizers on the table, and seemed to feel a little shabby, but he looked obedient, as if he didn't dare to speak.

Sikong Xi sat down, and Gu Key kicked him from the opposite side. He was just about to have a seizure, but suddenly he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly took his eyes off the two of them to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After a while, the bartender who had warm and hot wine walked here, pressing very low on Gu Key's side: "Young master, don't come unharmed." ”

"How are you doing?" Gu Key nodded.

"Well, it's great." The bartender's voice was a little visibly depressed, "I just don't know what to do in the future." ”

"Don't worry," Gu Jian reached out to take the dish and flask, "there will always be a way." ”

"If you have something, please ask the young master to command......" The bartender quickly left.

"Who is he?" Sikong Xi looked at the distant bartender, and reached out to get the wine jug, but was blocked by the ancient key.

"I can only drink a little, and when you are as big as me in the future, I will let you drink it well!" Gu Jian poured the wine syrup into the cup, "That person is the guard who snatched the girl for me, one of them ......"

"What about the other one?"

"Dead, put to death by my father. He got away with it. ”

Sikong Xi didn't ask any more questions, took the wine cup with his left hand, and picked up the chopsticks with his right hand to pick up the cooked beef. He had rarely eaten beef before, and this time he met it, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

"Stop." Gu Jian stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a slice of beef, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, took a sip of warm soju, and swallowed it.

"What?" Sikong Xi put down the wine cup and raised his eyes to look at him.

"It is said that when you used to be called Hanako, you met a girl named Qin Yinruo, right?" Gu Jian swallowed another sip of soju, and his white cheeks gradually became rosy.

"Yes, that's right." Sikong Xi was confused, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Do you know who she is?" Gu Key said drunkly, "I guess you won't know. ”

"I really don't know," Sikong Xi looked at the drunken Gu Key, "we just stole a little money together, and then we went our separate ways, and I don't need to know too many things." ”

"She......" Gu Jian suddenly fell in front of the table, the cup in his hand tilted on the table, and the soju slowly flowed out.

"Hey, it's only been three glasses of soju, why are you drunk?" Sikong Xi hurriedly picked up the ancient key.

"That Qin Yinruo...... It's a Loyin ......."

Sikong Xi was stunned, he didn't expect why Gu Key would say such a thing.

"How do you know?" Sikong Xi shook the drunk ancient key again, "Speak, how do you know that Qin Yin is from Luoyin?" ”

A crunch sounded.

The old man at the next table leaned down to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor. The unfinished aged wine was sprinkled on the green bricks and slowly flowed through the cracks in the bricks.

The jade-faced boy smacked his lips: "It's a pity, this old wine is good!" ”

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Childe, stopping Childe's presumptuous remarks. He picked up the broken porcelain pieces bit by bit and placed them on the wooden table.

The shopkeeper not far away rushed to hear the sound and looked at the two with a somewhat ugly face. But the jade-faced boy stopped the shopkeeper in advance, raised his hand and handed him three gold baht.

"The workmanship of your porcelain bowl should be fired in the official kiln, and it is still worth some money. These gold baht are our apologies, take them. ”

The shopkeeper hesitated a little when he saw the golden baht with excellent texture, but after seeing that Gu Key was drunk and unconscious, he finally walked away.

Sikong Xi looked at the scene beside him, and only sighed slightly, just imagine that the life of the powerful is really drunk and money-hungry, and he spends a lot of money. He slowly lifted the ancient key, explained the situation to the shopkeeper, and walked out of the wine shop.

Behind Sikong Xi, the old man in a big coat widened his pupils, staring at the direction he left. In his hand, the scabbard was tightly tightened.

"Send someone to find out what he is." The old man's voice was cold.

Childe frowned, slightly displeased, "Old thing, what is there to check for a teenager?" ”

"Do as I say." The old man got up, and his muscles that were knotted like dragons gradually bulged.
