5. Big and small liars
Walking out of the bar, Zhu Tong and Qingmei broke up after making an appointment to contact them.
Seeing Qingmei's taxi disappear into the sea of cars, Zhu Tong also called a taxi, and as soon as he got in the car, Zhu Tong handed over two hundred-yuan bills.
"Half an hour to the Haidu community, the money is yours."
The driver stepped on the accelerator without the slightest hesitation, and the taxi swam like a fish on the road.
"It's 10:27, does it count before 11:00?" The shrewdness of the Shanghainese made the driver more aware of it and made sure again.
"Count, count! I want time, you want money, and what we all need is security. Zhu Tong was a little worried at this time, the driver drove the car too fast.
Under normal circumstances, it takes at least forty-five minutes from Guangyuan Road, where the bar is located, to Huadu Community, and it is these fifteen minutes that Zhu Tong wants to fight for.
At 10:58, the taxi stopped on the street on the side of the Huadu community and wished the child to praise: "The master is hard." Just about to get out of the car, the driver handed over a business card: "My car is a new car, and it will take at least 40 minutes for other cars to run this section." Boss, I was born as a soldier and is the most credible; If there is such a thing in the future, I will make this call as soon as possible, and there are few people in Shanghai who are faster than me. ”
Zhu Tong smiled and read the name on the business card: "Qin Keqiang, good name, I remember." ”
The taxi left, and Zhu Tong took a look at the surroundings, there were few pedestrians on the street at midnight, and the branches and leaves of the triangular maple and privet trees isolated the street lamps into mottled shadows; Not far away, the lights at the entrance of the community were the brightest, but Zhu Tong knew that it was unlikely that he would enter this high-end community from there.
Wrought iron fence walls are a good thing, both beautiful and functional, which is a bit nice; However, it is also the easiest to overcome.
Zhu Tong immediately walked across the lawn to Building 7 in the back, the apartment in Block C on the fifteenth floor was Qingmei's residence, he placed the DV player there, and now all he had to do was to take out the memory card in the DV before Qingmei returned.
The password to enter the building has not changed, which makes Zhu Tong breathe a sigh of relief, opened the door of the building and entered the seventh building, Zhu Tong hesitated, or decided to take the elevator up, although this is a bit risky, he knows that there is monitoring in the elevator, but time is tight, and he can't care so much.
At 11:05, he had already taken out the key in front of Block C, opened the door and walked in. Half a minute later, Zhu Tong felt out the digital video camera in the wooden ceiling, took out the memory card, and then had time to look at this suite.
There is no lack of vitality in the room, and there is no lack of breath in a woman's body, but this meeting with Qingmei made Zhu Tong feel very bad. Since he didn't dare to turn on the light, he could only use the miniature hand lamp to take a slight look.
The bedding on the bed is old, the fridge is full, and the furniture is clean; But the more this happened, the more uneasy Zhu Tong became, and he suspected that something had changed in Qingmei's life.
At 11:10 a.m., Zhu Tong left the room, carefully locked the door, went up the stairs to the 15th and 16th floors, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
Half a year ago, when Zhu Tong targeted Wang Juefei of the Ocean Hospital, he put a lot of thought into the candidate who would act as the bait; To have a certain experience but not too sleek, all kinds of styles and not too strong smell of wind and dust, Qingmei came into his sight at that time.
Girls who want to become famous in the entertainment industry are mostly mixed in Beijing, where there are many directors and performing arts companies; Shanghai is known as the fashion capital, and there are many modeling agencies everywhere, and girls who think they have good conditions will often come here to look for opportunities to become top fashion models, and Qingmei is one of them.
Zhu Tong chose Qingmei because she obviously has no chance to become popular, time is cruel, especially in the fashion industry, after the age of twenty, she is basically an old man, and Qingmei, according to herself, is already twenty-five years old.
At 11:20, the elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor, and the crisp sound of Gaogen shoes came; Zhu Tong stretched out his head to look, Qingmei walked to Block C while making a phone call, opened the door and went in.
An hour later, Zhu Tong appeared in another bar on Guangyuan Road, this time he just wanted a cup of black tea, drinking something as he drank it.
As a disciple of the Seven Grades Zhumen, one of the eight schools of Jianghu, Zhu Tong's integration and understanding of modern society is deeper than any predecessor in this sect.
The origin of Zhumen is ancient, and it cannot be separated from Zhuyoumen.
The curse of the "wish" is also, and the cause of the illness of the "by" person is also. The method of wishing for you, including Chinese herbal medicine, is different from Chinese medicine. Zhu Youshi uses charms and forbidden spells to treat diseases, as well as forbidden spells, spells, blessings, talismans, as well as suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, etc.
Due to historical reasons, Zhu You's treatment has only been secretly circulated among the people, and has been mastered and applied by very few people. There are many branches and sects, and they are generally herbs, miracle medicines, incantations, ancient sayings, symbols, and mantras.
Zhumen is one of them, mainly medicinal stones and acupuncture, treatment is a disguise, and it is also a thing like driving away evil spirits and driving away ghosts; To the generation of Master Zhu Tong's master's master, due to the turmoil of the war, Zhu Men simply broke away from the main line of Zhu Youmen and degenerated into a Jianghu sect.
Zhu Tong's growth is also thanks to meeting a master who carelessly wishes for the art of wishing for the arts, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him an old liar.
More than ten years ago, the old liar deceived a pretty widow in Shandong, and he had the idea of starting a family, and Zhu Tong was able to study in peace for a few years.
If it weren't for Zhu Tong's accidental admission to university, that kind of life could continue for a while.
Zhu Tong and Master are two liars, their ID cards are fake, and when they married the pretty widow, Master also said that their home was flooded and they couldn't go back; Fortunately, he has some ability to see a doctor, and he has a mouth full of cowhide that he has practiced for many years, and it is very easy to make a living in that small town near the sea.
Maybe it's God's favor, Zhu Tong has a good talent, although he has never studied seriously since he was a child, and the words he knows are also taught by the master and brother sometimes, and he knows some by reading newspapers and waste books; When he was six years old, the little liar got an old and worn dictionary, and in the next few years, the broken dictionary became his only toy.
This may be the reason why the master beat away the two senior brothers, but he has always taken him with him.
The old liar's marriage to the pretty widow was originally a scam, and this scam was designed by Zhu Tong, and its origin was a marriage revelation in a broken magazine, and several legal stories in the same type of magazine.
With this scam, Zhu Tong and Master pretended to be father and son, defrauding the tears of many widows and old **, and after getting the money, the seemingly honest father and son disappeared of course. China is so big, there is always a place for deception.
But when the scam met the beautiful and kind widow, Zhu Tong's master suddenly became lustful, and he turned the fake into a real thing, and made something like a family. In order to act, Zhu Tong borrowed to study in the middle school of the town.
Looking at the master with a happy face, the little liar often thinks viciously: a liar is a liar after all, even if he pretends to be a sheep, there will be a day when he shows his tail.
He didn't expect that the old liar pretended to be very similar this time, quit drinking and gambling, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter with a pretty widow; It's a little troublesome when it comes to registering a child, but fortunately, a small place has its own benefits of a small place, and in the end the old scammer spent some money.
The name of Zhu Tong was fixed on a household registration book at that time.
The town is located on the peninsula and the seaside, with the mountains and the sea in the background, and the people are simple, and the two liars of the big and small quickly get mixed up there, and they are very happy.
The pretty widow runs a small restaurant in the town and a hotel. Zhu Tong's master opened a small pharmacy in the second year, and also operated to see doctors; It didn't take long for him to become a miracle doctor on the left, and he walked with his head high. Zhu Tong's ability to see a doctor now was learned at that time.
The six years in the small town (dormant) are the most nostalgic time for Zhu Tong (Zhu Tong's master has always said that he will leave in a few days, who knows that it will be six years after that). After a year of adaptation and self-study, from the second year of junior high school, Zhu Tong showed unusual maturity and intelligence, and became a man of the year in that middle school.
If you do your homework well, you will come to things, the teacher likes it, Zhu Tong will soon become the king of children, and his classmates are a group of fools who stretch out their hands and coax them to play in his eyes, even the gangsters in the town see him, and they also look like confidants.
It was also in that school that Zhu Tong started his first love, but the little liar's first love immediately became polyamorous.
Zhu Tong realized the beauty of women in the summer of the third year of junior high school, and by the beginning of the first year of high school, the little liar had changed from a rookie to an old bird, and he had four girlfriends by his side at the same time. As a result, Zhu Tong, a member of the student union who had just been in office for two months, was removed from his post and was also punished; He soaked the mayor's daughter, a beautiful girl in the second grade of high school, ripe as a pear, juicy and immature.
Theoretically, the girl who made him carry the punishment was one year older than Zhu Tong, but in fact, who was older and who was younger may only be known by the ghost, and Zhu Tong's theoretical father did not know his exact age; The little liar always thought that he should be a year or two younger than his classmates, and his size only stopped at 1.77 meters in his third year of high school.
Happy times are always short-lived, and the storm of fate often shows its hideous hand at an inadvertent moment, gently destroying the warm bird's nest.
It was an August night, and the teenagers who had just taken the college entrance examination were crazy.
Zhu Tong was rolling on the beach by the sea with a girl in his arms, lips to lips, arms to arms, and thin swimsuits had long been an obstacle. The little liar was dissipating his soul, and the old liar came, ignoring the screams of the female horror, he pulled up the naked Zhu Tong and ran, this time, the two liars never returned to the town.
On the way, the master scolded Zhu Tong for a dog blood spray, and it was not until dawn that Zhu Tong knew that it was not the master who showed the dog's tail, but himself.
Zhu Tong is so smart, with the ability to memorize dictionaries that he has practiced since he was a child, there is hardly much difficulty in his homework; The middle school in his small town is not a key school, but as soon as the results of the college entrance examination came out, Zhu Tong actually took the second place in the province, which is a result that can be arbitrarily selected to study in any institution of higher learning in China.
The town was boiling, the city and county TV stations came to interview, officials at all levels came forward to congratulate, and the town officials immediately focused on protecting Zhu Tong's family.
The old liar finally realized the danger, and he didn't care about much, so he picked up Zhu Tong and fled; The face of the old liar is not on television, there are at least ten widows looking for him all over China, and at least three wanted warrants are related to him.
Due to the hurry, the swindler's fortune earned in a few years was forced to be left to the pretty widow and her little daughter, and the two did not have much money by their side.
After escaping to Qingdao, the two crooks took a breath.
The old liar will only scold the little liar for ruining his life and happy old age, and the comfortable life has eliminated the old liar's ambition, and his thoughts about the pretty widow and his little daughter have made the old liar a complete waster.
The little liar has grown up, he wandered on the Qingdao trestle bridge for a long time, and finally determined the direction of his life: there is no way back, only to re-enter the rivers and lakes.
That night, the little liar Zhu Tong swore to the old liar: In the future, our life will only be better, and there will be no shortage of money, and it will not be difficult for you to find a beautiful widow again.
Of course, the old crooks don't believe it, the harsh reality is in the face, and most of the money on them is used to toss and turn.
When the little crook said this, he only had a pair of shorts and an advertising shirt, which he bought at a street stall; Shorts are three yuan and five corners, and advertising shirts are more expensive, four yuan. The front is printed: What is there and what is not sick; Printed on the back: Nothing, no money.
How much credibility can a hairy child who is only worth seven yuan and five corners on his body have?
However, after listening to the rhetoric, the old liar's premonition turned into reality, and the little liar reached out to ask for money, asking for all the money on the old liar.
As a disciple of Zhumen, the old liar still maintains at least one tradition: do not steal or rob, that is what reckless men who lack wisdom do; As a long-standing sect, the disciples of Zhumen can only rely on their skills to eat and break into the rivers and lakes.
"Doing any business requires capital, I don't have a dime on me, do you want me to steal?"
For the sake of tradition, the old liar finally compromised, handed over the only 500 yuan he had to the closed disciple 450, and then bought two bottles of liquor and a bag of peanuts, sat on the beach and drank, crying.
On the third day, the little crook took the old crook into a luxury bathing center, opened a large box and cleaned it, and then brought out a set of clean clothes.
The old crook was still half drunk, and was surprised and scolded the little crook for spending money indiscriminately, but the little crook immediately gagged him with two stacks of thick bills before telling the origin of the money.
In the course of three days, Zhu Tong first found a person who made fake documents, such calls were everywhere, and he used 50 yuan to buy an ID card, but he didn't use his own photo, and designated him to be from Qingdao City, who was about 20 years old.
With this ID card, Zhu Tong went to the bank to apply for a card; Then I squatted for a long time next to a few people who collected old mobile phones. When it was almost dark, I received a mobile phone for 200 yuan, and bought a phone card for 100 yuan, and a brand-new charlatan was neatly equipped and officially went out of the mountain.
This phone card only made three calls, and Zhu Tong's bank card had 20,000 yuan; Of course, the old liar didn't believe it, the little liar Zhu Tong grew up watching him, although he was smart, he had never done any "business" alone.
"I remember that because of that little pharmacy and your wife's little hotel, you sent money to the mayor of the town and the head of the police station; The mayor of the town is five thousand, and the other one is how much I don't know, but with your habits, it is estimated to be about the same. The 20,000 was given by the mayor, and the 20,000 that sent the head of the premises should arrive tomorrow. ”
After Zhu Tong finished speaking, the old liar's eyes widened in surprise, as if he had just realized that the little liar had grown up. However, his next action was to quickly put on his clothes, pull the little liar Zhu Tong to the station, and get on a car and leave; On the road; The old crook dismantled the little crook's phone and threw it out the car window.
A day later, the two traveled three cars out of Shandong to another city, and in a small dirty hotel, the old liar officially taught the Jianghu Sutra to the closed disciples.
It's late, it's outdated, it's old. Although Zhu Tong was listening at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But the next day, when Zhu Tong went to withdraw the money, the account had already been locked; The little liar knows that the old liar has really not been in vain for half of his life.
The rivers and lakes change, time passes, but the rivers and lakes are always the rivers and lakes of people.
Although the tricks of the old crooks are of little practical use, the basic things are still precious, and that is the soul of the tricks.
Except for my own brothers, you can't trust anyone.
Extortion is easy and risky. Try to do it alone in such a side business, and if you have to cooperate, you have to pay to hire strangers.
This is the most common sentence said by the old liar, and it is also the most used sentence for Zhu Tong. After a few years of mixing in the rivers and lakes, the little liar realized that the master had traveled all his life, although he was lustful, drunk and gambling, but he had never been in prison, except for experience.
Since then, the little liar Zhu Tong has never told the master about any of his "business", which makes the old liar very satisfied.
Plan and move, strike and go, regardless of victory or defeat. This is another experience of the old liar; He said: "We are most afraid of persistence in this industry, we must learn to follow the trend, be fully prepared in the early stage, and know what to advance and retreat; Regardless of success or failure, you must leave immediately, and you must not take risks because you have invested too much. You must know that there must be a mistake in a hundred secrets, and that is to find death! ”
For this, the first action of the little liar has been confirmed, so it can only be accepted with humility.
It is in the people who plan things, and it is in the sky to make things happen; Zhumen believes in ghosts and gods, and can not do things absolutely at any time, can not be too greedy, and leaving a breath for others is to leave a way for himself.
The old liar's Zhu Tong also agreed, he has specialized in deception in recent years, and he has only set a reasonable price after watching people cook and finding out the subject's affordability; The success rate is more than 90%.
As for the theory of ghosts and gods, there are few people who are not superstitious; Zhu Youyi sent from Xiangxi, and its ghost and god skills are the crown of the rivers and lakes, and the Qipin Zhumen also inherits this tradition.
The old liar never does "business" in Xiangxi. One is afraid of angering the ancestral gods, and the other is because the old liar has no interest in such things as pretending to be gods and ghosts, and it is dangerous for that thing to come slowly.
Zhu Tong was also influenced by the old liar, and only mastered a few secret recipes of the rivers and lakes, or chose practical learning. After being baptized by modern education, he was more skeptical of those ghosts and gods.
The old liar also said a lot of truths, such as abstaining from sex, he himself can't do without women, and of course the little liar doesn't care.
For example, do what you can, the old liar said that the play of deception is directly proportional to your own cultivation. It's like a swordsman, if your swordsmanship is high, everything will turn decay into magic in your hands, and the mouse has no chance to deceive the tiger.
This little liar admires very much, and his "business" has also grown from small to large, accumulating experience in one step to get to where it is today.
The last lesson of the old liar is that to be a liar should be as low-key as possible, not to be in the limelight, not too conspicuous, and plain is true. This is after the little liar Zhu Tong once deceived 500,000 yuan from a certain star, the old liar taught the little liar a lesson, and at the same time gave the little liar everything at the bottom of his box.
In the following years, the old swindler resumed his life of drunkenness and gambling, and did not do any "business" and relied on the petty liar to make a living, wandering around the coast, and finally being thrown into the sea from the gambling boat the year before last to feed the fish.
Zhu Tong knew the news, and cried bitterly for a few minutes; Later, when the account was settled, he became angry again. He made millions no matter what he said in the past few years, but most of them were squandered by the master. With such a master, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Two years have passed, but Zhu Tong often thinks of the old liar, he didn't even leave a name, only left a daughter in a seaside town in Shandong, and passed away with all the secrets. Zhu Tong has no relatives since he was a child, and after the master goes, there will be one less person who can speak.
