Chapter 155 The Bottom Line
"What do you do for a living?" Wang Chengen opened his mouth and asked his own family, after all, if you know a person's occupation, then you can probably find out the details of this person, for example, the hawker Li Xiaoer's statement is very perfect, he has been selling stinky tofu for generations, so go to his neighborhood and inquire a little, you can know the truth or falsehood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"......" Wang Lao Wu listened to Wang Chengen's question, and was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
This move made Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen's faces full of suspicion, the origin of this Wang Lao Wu did seem to be problematic, and at the same time, the vigilance of Wang Lao Wu was also instantly raised to a higher level, and the brocade guards below were all like great enemies, for fear that this Wang Lao Wu was really a dangerous element, and suddenly jumped up and attacked the emperor.
"That, it's a bad idea." Just when the atmosphere was very tense, Hu Zhutou cautiously said that since the other party is a secret agent of Jinyiwei, Hu Zhutou's title has become "Shangcha", after all, he thinks it sounds good, and he can call it as he wants, "This person is indeed named Wang Lao Wu, who lives in Lijia Hutong, and is idle on weekdays, and does not have a ...... of business."
"Is that true?" After Xiao Mu listened to Hu Zhutou's words, he didn't pay attention to the question of the title of "Shangcha", but confirmed it again.
"It's true." Hu Zhutou replied affirmatively.
"Do you two know this guy too?" Xiao Mu asked again about the two subordinates standing behind Hu Zhutou.
When the two of them saw the "Shangcha" questioning, they quickly nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, indicating that what Hu Zhutou had just said was completely correct, and one of them boldly said: "Back to Shangcha, this Wang Lao Wu is indeed a famous scoundrel in this area, just in our hands has been arrested and put in prison several times, and after being locked up for a while and released, within two days, he will be arrested again, and almost all the catchers in the entire Shuntian Mansion know this person." ”
"Is what this headcatcher said true?" Wang Chengen took over the conversation and asked the fifth king.
But Wang Lao Wu still didn't reply, and he looked red.
Hu Zhutou saw Wang Lao Wu behaving like this, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he said in his heart, didn't this performance pit me, he just patted his chest in front of the poor to ensure his origin, but this splash was a soft egg, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to reply.
Maybe it's because the biggest-looking "Shangcha" seems to be very talkative, or it may be because he saw that Wang Lao Wu didn't speak, for fear that his guarantee just now would make Shangcha suspicious, Hu Zhutou was not polite to Wang Lao Wu who was lying on the ground, and directly kicked him twice: "I didn't see you blush when I was idle and a traitor on weekdays, why do you know that you are ashamed when you ask now?" ”
But who knew that it was okay if Hu Zhutou didn't kick it, these two kicks went down, and Wang Lao Wu directly tilted his head and fainted, so that the words of Hu Zhutou and his two subordinates became to a certain extent "death without proof" - or "faint without proof".
Hu Zhutou secretly hated in his heart, on the one hand, he hated Wang Lao Wu for not being angry, but he fainted at this juncture, making himself very passive, on the other hand, he hated why he was nosy, and interjected to tell Wang Lao Wu's details, even if he didn't say anything, such a simple thing, it would be a piece of cake for the secret detectives of Jinyi Wei to find out, why bother to find out by yourself?
Hu Zhutou's worry seemed to be reasonable, because he saw several "top faults" frowning and looking really suspicious.
Of course, what Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen felt suspicious at this time was not Hu Zhutou's testimony, but the timing of Wang Laowu's fainting, obviously just about to ask about his origin, and even Hu Zhutou said most of it for him, but he "fainted" at such a critical time, which is difficult not to suspect that Wang Laowu was pretending to be dizzy, in order to hide something.
"Carry him to the next room first, and if he doesn't wake up for a while, find him a Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat him." Xiao Mu commanded.
Of course, the subordinates obeyed the order, and three or four guards carried Wang Lao Wu and carried him out of the room directly, and the real process was also completed under very vigilant circumstances, after all, Wang Lao Wu's fainting was likely to be a moth he played, it was a trick, if he accidentally relaxed his vigilance and gave him a chance to take advantage of it, it would not be good.
Of course, when several people were carrying Wang Lao Wu, they still didn't have any intention of thinking about him as always, and they didn't care at all about whether it would hurt him or stretch the wounds on his body. Xiao Mu used to read until late at night every night, and often fell asleep on the table, and needed Wang Chengen to command the little eunuchs to carry him to the bed, Wang Chengen could assert that if the little eunuchs also wanted to escort the guards to carry Wang Lao Wu to operate, it is estimated that ten heads would not be enough to cut off.
However, although the way the guards carried him was very rough, that Wang Lao Wu did not have any abnormalities, thinking that he was either really dizzy, if he was not really dizzy but pretended to be dizzy, then he must be a hidden master.
After Wang Lao Wu was carried out, Xiao Mu confirmed a few more questions with Hu Zhutou: "You say that Wang Lao Wu is a frequent visitor to the prison in Shuntian Mansion?" ”
"It's true." Hu Zhutou is worried that he will be suspected, and now he has taken the initiative to ask, and he must tell all the ins and outs of Wang Lao Wu that he knows, and restore the trust of the poor people, "I dare not tell lies, Wang Lao Wu is indeed a famous pimp in this area, and most of the year has been spent in our Shuntian Mansion prison." ”
Originally, Xiao Mu didn't doubt Hu Zhutou's meaning, after all, as the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion, it was probably equivalent to the level of the captain of the Houshi Capital Criminal Police Brigade, and what he said should still be credible, but Hu Zhutou's sentence of "dare not tell lies" backfired, and it was a bit of a feeling that it was getting darker and darker, and Xiao Mu was a little afraid to completely believe his words at the moment.
"How many games has he been 'famous' for in this generation?" Xiao Mu asked a very crucial question, it was obvious that if Wang Lao Wu had only recently become a frequent visitor to the official government, then his origin would be very doubtful, after all, before that, what kind of origin he was was was probably a doubt.
"Back to the top chagrin, it is estimated that it has been five or six years to say the least." Hu Zhutou gave an answer that reassured Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen, but Xiao Mu was cautious and still didn't fully believe Hu Zhutou's words, but sent two more guards to verify and confirm - one of them went to visit the Li family Hutong where Wang Lao Wu lived, and the other went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to find out about other headhunters.
