Chapter 54 Chang'an Beggar's Net
The wine shop at noon is particularly lively, especially when it is time to eat, the wine shop is full of people, and the shopkeeper has long been busy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, when he saw Xue Rengui and Zhu Mingyang coming, he was very polite, left the other guests, and greeted him.
"Oops! Xue Ye! What wind is blowing you? Xue Rengui seems to be a frequent customer of this wine shop, and as soon as he walked into the wine shop, the shopkeeper greeted him.
"Xiao Er, bring the best wine, someone has a treat today." After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he put down the wine vat in his hand, and Zhu Mingyang looked sideways and saw that the vat was already empty.
After a while, Xiao Er took two more jars of wine, Xue Rengui couldn't wait to open one jar, and the faint aroma of wine wafted out as soon as the seal was gone. Zhu Mingyang has already seen the wine of the Tang Dynasty, although this wine is mellow and fragrant like the rice wine he used to drink, it is not a strong wine, so when Xue Rengui filled himself with a bowl, Zhu Mingyang did not refuse, remembering that when his mother was setting up a stall on the street, he fried a plate of peanuts, and he often drank it with his father, and the two often divided a bottle of two pots in one meal, so Zhu Mingyang had a good amount of wine. Xue Rengui also filled his bowl with a bowl, and asked the shopkeeper for a few snacks.
"Don't say it, you're the best drinker I've ever seen, I collapsed last time, and you can still get out of it." Xue Rengui mentioned the last time Zhu Mingyang cheated on eating and drinking.
"I didn't deliberately deceive Brother Xue last time, so please don't mention this matter again Brother Zhu." Zhu Mingyang was ashamed when he remembered what happened last time.
"It's easy to say, but this meal ...... money" Xue Rengui paused.
"I've got it all!" Before Xue Rengui finished speaking, Zhu Mingyang rushed to pay for the wine, now Zhu Mingyang lacks everything, he is not short of money, and the 10,000 yuan given by Wang Youren is enough for Zhu Mingyang to eat and drink for more than ten years.
"Haha! This is good brother, keep drinking! Xue Rengui poured another bowl for Zhu Mingyang. After three rounds of drinking, the cups and plates were messy, and the two jars of wine were in his stomach, Zhu Mingyang felt dizzy, he opened his eyes and looked at Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's cheeks were also crimson.
"Brother Xue, the matter of finding someone ......" Zhu Mingyang remembered that he came to find Xu Yue'er, and hurriedly mentioned the matter of finding Xu Yue'er.
"Uh-huh! Looking for someone, yes, yes, we have to find someone. Xue Rengui seemed to be very drunk, and staggered to the door of the wine shop.
"Brother Xue! You don't want to find it yourself! Zhu Mingyang saw that Xue Rengui was drunk like this and walked to the door of the wine shop, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Come here!" Xue Rengui didn't pay attention to Zhu Mingyang, but hooked the door with his index finger, and after a while, a little beggar came over. But seeing that the beggar was about twelve or thirteen years old, he was unusually clever.
"It turned out to be Xue Ye, what's the matter?" The little beggar was unusually polite to Xue Rengui.
"You go ......" Xue Rengui didn't care about the unpleasant smell on the little beggar, and put his mouth to the little beggar's ear and muttered.
"Understood, I'll go right away." With that, the little beggar disappeared into the crowd.
"It's ...... Beggars! Suddenly, the shadow of Hong Qigong in martial arts appeared in Zhu Mingyang's mind.
"What help? Haven't heard of it. Xue Rengui returned to his original seat and sat down.
"And what did you do with that little beggar?" Hearing Xue Rengui say that he didn't know the beggar gang, Zhu Mingyang's heart was full of frustration.
"You say that little beggar, that's far away! This starts with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty implemented ****, imposed taxes, displaced the people, and many people became beggars in difficulty. Later, the first emperor ascended the throne, and although the number of beggars decreased, there were still many of them, and there were at least a few thousand beggars in this Chang'an city. A few years ago, His Majesty was afraid of beggars, so he asked me to go to the purge of beggars, and I led the officers and soldiers to arrest many beggars, and saw that they were very pitiful, and very righteous, even if they were tortured, they would not confess their companions, and I was deeply moved, so I released all the beggars and persuaded His Majesty to abandon the purge plan. Since then, the beggars in Chang'an City have seen me as if they had seen a benefactor, they were extraordinarily polite, and they would help if they were helpful, you don't have a low status, but they have a spider-web-like network in Chang'an, and the news is extremely well-informed, and they can investigate what kind of person they have left anywhere. I have just told the little beggar about your master's appearance, as long as she is still in Chang'an City, there will definitely be news. After speaking, Xue Rengui hiccuped.
"It turns out that Brother Xue has such a legendary experience." Zhu Mingyang thought of this, although Xue Rengui was a military general, he had the world in mind, and he couldn't help but admire.
The two sat and waited for an unknown amount of time, but they did not see the little beggar come back. Xue Rengui had already collapsed on the table and snored. Zhu Mingyang woke up a lot, stood up, sometimes looking out of the door, sometimes walking back and forth in the wine shop, he began to doubt the ability of these beggars, could it be that Xue Rengui deceived himself, but Xue Rengui didn't seem to be deceiving himself! Just when Zhu Mingyang was anxious, the little beggar came out from the other side of the street, and he also took an old beggar with him.
"Xue Ye!" The little beggar and the old beggar walked into the wine shop, as if ignoring Zhu Mingyang's existence, but walked straight to Xue Rengui and pushed the sleeping Xue Rengui.
"Ugh! What's up? Xue Rengui rubbed his tears, and it seemed that the wine had woken up a lot.
"Xue Ye! We didn't find any trace of the person you were looking for on Chang'an Avenue, but Lao Zhang had a clue. The little beggar hurriedly pulled the old beggar down to Xue Rengui's side.
"What clues?" Zhu Mingyang heard a clue and hurriedly came over.
"This ......," the old beggar looked at Zhu Mingyang, who was coming over, and didn't seem to believe him.
"Lao Zhang, it doesn't hurt to say it directly, Zhu Gongzi is not an outsider, he is my good friend, and the person I am looking for is entrusted by him." Xue Rengui pointed at Zhu Mingyang.
"It's my own person, so it's easy to say. Although we did not see the man you spoke of in the city, we found that he had left the city a day earlier, and had not yet entered the city. The old beggar ate the rest of the meal as he spoke, and Xue Rengui didn't seem to care about the old beggar and the little beggar eating the leftovers on the table.
"Is the message reliable?" Zhu Mingyang was afraid that the news was wrong.
"Joke! Our people are distributed all over the city all day long, how can there be a misnews. The old beggar said with contempt.
"And from which gate did she go out? Where are you headed? "Even if the old beggar's news is wrong, Zhu Mingyang must give him a try.
"She walked from the east gate, and I don't know where she went." In a few moments, the leftovers on the table were swept away by the two beggars.
"Brother Xue, I have to leave beforehand." After Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, he picked up the Crow Nine Sword on the table and wanted to leave.
"Wait, I'll accompany you, I'm more familiar with Chang'an than you." After Xue Rengui finished speaking, he patted Zhu Mingyang's shoulder.
