Chapter 331: Treasure Map Turmoil
Cao Delin returned to his room and saw that his companion Gavin Tiger had just returned.
The post house provides a variety of services in strict accordance with the grade of the officials, of course, the premise is that the officials are on a business trip, not a private trip, and if they want to live in the post house for free and enjoy various services, they need to carry the documents issued by the dispatch department.
As a member of the negotiating mission, these are certainly not a problem. Moreover, this time, all the inns were vacated to entertain negotiators, and the specifications were much higher than normal.
Cao Delin and Gavin Tiger both have their own suites, including bedrooms, study, small living rooms for guests, and servants' rooms, etc., of course, it is still dwarfed by enjoying a mansion by themselves.
The two of them have no opinion on this, after all, they are Qincha, and they will enjoy the highest level of treatment wherever they go.
"How?" Gavin asked as he entered the door.
"How's that?" Cao Delin was holding a fire in his belly, and he didn't understand what Gavin Tiger was asking.
"Did you go to that little Qincha and teach him a lesson?"
"I teach him? Don't mention it, I was taught a lesson by him. Cao Delin sighed.
"What, Lao Cao, you were taught a lesson by him? How is this possible? ”
"What do you think I'm going to make up my own way for this kind of shameful thing?"
Gavin Tiger first pointed at Cao Delin, couldn't help laughing, and then burst into laughter.
"This is really an eighty-year-old lady who tightens the child's hands, Lao Cao, how could you be taught a lesson by that child, where is your eloquent speech?"
"Brother, you can also accept this kind of contempt for him, let me tell you, I didn't care about this little Qincha originally, but today I found out that this kid's usual appearance I don't know if it's pretended, but when he gets serious, he is definitely not worse than us officialdom old oilers."
Cao Delin said that there was still something happening in the hall there, and finally sighed again and again.
"But too, we were all negligent, and we actually forgot the minimum etiquette, and he caught the handle. But as you say, isn't he cowardly? Those people are drunk and make disrespectful remarks, didn't he also endure it, if it were us, at least we had to play them hard, he was a bad man, and he had a privilege in his hands. ”
"It's scheming to say that he has a plan, or it's insidious, right here, if he has a big attack today, it's really reasonable, but so what, maybe they're just drunk, and it's not a big mistake to talk after drinking. He couldn't bear it, just waiting for the future to settle the account. In doing so, he creates the impression of recognition on others, and it depends on whether anyone is really uninteresting and sticks their necks under his knife. ”
"Lao Cao, you ...... You're in his belly with your heart, aren't you? Gavin Tiger was surprised.
"What do you mean by this, do you mean that I am a villain and he is a gentleman?"
"No, I mean you think he's too insidious, that kid is definitely not this kind of person, you know what he does in Beijing, he endures everything, not all of them break out immediately, and the means are not particular at all."
"That's why I said he was insidious, and I only saw his true face today."
"You're saying what he did in Beijing was deliberately faked?"
"It's not necessarily pretended, it's just that when you encounter different things, in different places, you do it differently." Cao Delin thought for a while and said.
"That's even more insidious, you say. No, you're thinking too much, he's just a young man in his early twenties, how can he have so much scheming? ”
"Of course it's better to have no, but it's better to be careful, I'm worried about another thing now." Cao Delin sighed.
"yes, if we can't take this kid, our business will be difficult." Gavin Tiger was also a little worried.
Although he didn't believe Cao Delin's analysis of the situation, he had to guard against it, after all, he was now in his hands, and the two of them had a particularly important secret mission on their shoulders, so they couldn't make a mistake.
"Then the only way to do it secretly is to hide it from him." Cao Delin said.
"Hide, how to hide, all the guards are his people, and they are all her mother's brocade guards. Once discovered, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to squat in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but will go directly to the prison. ”
"Let's take one step at a time, and then observe and observe that kid." Cao Delin sighed.
The two of them were relatively silent, and after a while, Gavin Tiger spoke again.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Guess who I saw on the street? ”
"Who?"
"Duan Wenchang, can you believe it, he is here too."
"Old Duan, what is he doing here, there is nothing to do with him here."
"That's it, what kind of mess is he here to make?" Cao Delin was also full of suspicions.
"Not only is he here, but I also heard that many Jianghu factions have also come, and now there is a great harmony in the city of the Bafang Dragon and Tiger Society."
"It's messy, it's messy, it's all messy, the Tatars are making trouble outside the plug, the Japanese are making trouble along the coast, and now these mixed factions are making a fuss? This negotiation has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes. ”
"It's just that I feel like there's going to be a mess, there's going to be a big mess."
"Don't, this negotiation took a lot of effort to facilitate, and if it was messed up by a bunch of bastards, it would be fun."
"That's why I feel that these people are sent against our Xiao Qin, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is what if they are aimed at the little prince who is about to enter the customs?" Gavin Tiger sighed.
"I can't stand either of them, as long as one of the two of them has an accident, this negotiation will be suspended. You go to Lao Duan again and tell him that no matter what his purpose is, you must make sure that no one interferes with the negotiations. At the very least, the exchange of personnel must be completed. By the way, you ask Lao Duan why he is here? Cao Delin said.
"Of course I asked, he called me haha, and I couldn't help it. I told him what you just meant, but he said that he couldn't control the situation in the city at all, and that they were calculated by one person yesterday. ”
"Lao Duan has been calculated? How so? Cao Delin was surprised and amused, this year is not the unlucky year for them old foxes.
"By the way, how did Lao Duan be calculated, he has been calculating others all his life." Cao Delin asked with a smile.
Knowing that he was not the only one who was deflated today, he was very happy.
"It's not just that he has been calculated, but many people, even those Jianghu factions who have poured into the city, they have all received a message that our Xiao Qincha has a treasure map hidden on his body, and this time he went to negotiate outside the city under the guise of actually trying to retrieve this treasure." Gavin Tiger laughed out loud.
"That's what Lao Duan said?"
"Of course not, how could he say such a thing, I heard about it from someone else. As a result, Xiao Qin went out to drink yesterday and only brought a few people, and these guys thought they had seized a good opportunity, and they all rushed over to grab the treasure map. As a result, they found that many people from different factions had arrived, and there were still grudges between them, which restrained each other, and no one dared to exert their strength. Gavin Tiger laughed heartily.
"Don't these people go out without their heads? Believe such a ridiculous rumor? The legend of the folk treasure map has long been rotten on the street, and some people believe it? What's more, it's a person like Lao Duan who is shrewd to the bones. Cao Delin still finds this unbelievable.
"Since you can deceive someone like Lao Duan, this rumor must be more convincing. Like you said, these people don't just have long brains, they are all old foxes. It is not easy to get them to be deceived. Gavin Tiger said.
"Then now that these people know that they have been deceived, they should disperse, right?"
"No, these people are still staring at it, you also know that once people hear that there is a treasure anywhere, even if they know that eighty or ninety percent of it is fake, they would rather kill the wrong one and not let it go, and they will think what if that one percent becomes true?"
Cao Delin nodded, indeed, no one can resist this temptation, and they will have the mentality of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let go.
"It's a big trouble now, these people won't let go of anything. Lord Chin Cha is going to be unlucky. Gavin Tiger said.
"If he's unlucky, we're no better, and we're in the same boat with him now. At least that's how it was before the customs clearance. ”
"So what do you say?"
"It's really not good, let's talk to Xiao Qincha first, let him pay attention to his own safety, and then find Wang Chonggu to see if he can expel those people in the rivers and lakes on the grounds of public security in the city."
"Eviction is not the way, those of them enter and exit the customs as if they were walking on flat ground, even if they don't do it in the interior, they will do it outside the country. As long as they follow like hounds, the negotiation will not be able to proceed properly. ”
"So what do you say? We have a task on our shoulders, and the first task is to ensure that the negotiations can be successfully completed. Cao Delin said anxiously.
"There's really no good way to do this, unless it can be proven that it was a hoax from beginning to end." Gavin Tiger said.
"The scam is certain, but how can it be proven?"
Both of them are blindfolded, and it is not difficult to prove that something really exists, but it is difficult to prove that something does not exist.
The Tripitaka is as vast as a sea of smoke, and it is nothing more than trying to prove one word: emptiness.
Using the entire set of Tripitaka Sutras to prove that everything is empty, but not many people can read it, and not many people really believe it, it can be seen that proving nothingness, emptiness, and non-existence are extremely difficult things to do.
If Cao Delin and Gavin Tiger want to prove that this is a hoax, they must first prove that the so-called treasure map does not exist and is illusory, how can this be proved?
The two dignified Du Yushi adults shook their heads helplessly with their hands spread, I don't know which immoral guy created this rumor, and it really stumped them.
"Forget it, it's useless for us to worry about it here, let's find Lao Duan, we have done so many things for him before, and it's time for him to repay." Cao Delin got up and said.
"Yes, it's better to find out about this sooner rather than later, so let's go to him now." Gavin Tiger followed and stood up.
