Soon after Zhang Rui went downstairs, the cheongsam beauty came to me with a pot of tea, and after putting the tea in front of me, she took the initiative to pour me a cup and asked: "I heard Zhang Shao call you Chen Yu, how did you and him meet." Chinese ≈om"

I smiled and said, "I'm only one side to him." ”

The cheongsam beauty was obviously a little unconvinced, she frowned and said: "Since you don't want to say, I won't ask, my name is Shangguan Hong, and you can come to this teahouse to find me directly in the future, I am Zhang Shao's friend, his friend, and my friend." ”

I asked her if I would be free to drink tea here in the future.

Shangguan Hong smiled at me and said: "You are so stingy, I really can't see where you look like Zhang Shao's friend, as for the free order, I can't be the master of the tea above the spirit level, but I can take care of you to drink enough of the famous tea below the spirit level." ”

Shangguan Hong's words made me feel very uncomfortable, I understood what she meant, she thought I was not worthy of being Zhang Rui's friend.

But I didn't refute anything, after all, my current identity and status are extremely inconsistent with this teahouse.

Poured me a cup of tea, and Shangguan Hong left.

And I picked up the cup of tea and smelled it, the tea aroma was not as strong as the cups of tea that Grandpa Mai had let me drink, and it was not so tempting.

I took a sip, and although it wasn't refreshing, it was still refreshing.

That pot of tea was drunk for a while, but Zhang Rui never went upstairs from downstairs, I was a little impatient to wait, so I thought about going downstairs to have a look.

Before I could get up, I heard the sound of someone going upstairs, and after a while, Zhang Rui and the old man at the front desk downstairs went upstairs together.

Zhang Rui introduced to me: "This is the official of the teahouse, Uncle Tang, he knows something about what happened twenty years ago, what can you ask him directly." ”

After speaking, Zhang Rui introduced to Uncle Tang again: "Uncle Tang, this is the friend Chen Yu I am talking about, you can tell him about the events of the year." ”

Seriously, I didn't expect that I had only one side relationship with Zhang Rui, and he was so dedicated to helping me, and I was grateful to Zhang Rui in my heart.

After Zhang Rui's introduction, Uncle Tang looked at me carefully and said, "Your name is Chen Yu, and you are the son of Chen Laizi back then?" ”

I said, yes, and then asked Uncle Tang: "Do you know about my father and Liu Shengfu, can you tell me that with your Tang family's family business, there shouldn't be two ordinary people to do that, is there any secret in this?" ”

After these questions, I realized that these words were too straightforward.

Sure enough, Uncle Tang's face changed, and then he took off the pair of glasses and said, "Do you suspect that our Tang family framed your father and Liu Shengfu?" ”

Listening to the tone of that Tang Bo, he was already a little angry.

Zhang Rui wanted to reconcile it, but as soon as he opened his mouth and called out "Uncle Tang", he was interrupted by Uncle Tang: "Zhang Shao, don't you speak, haven't you appeared, this kid is not here to ask about things at all, but to come here to ask about the crime, he suspects that our Tang family deliberately framed Chen Laizi and Liu Shengfu." ”

After speaking, Tang Bo turned his head to look at me and said, "Your father Chen Laizi has already taken the remuneration from us back then, if we want to frame him, how can we easily give him those rewards?" As for what happened to your father and Liu Shengfu later, it has nothing to do with our Tang family, it is their luck. ”

Uncle Tang didn't say that, and I didn't think much about it, but after listening to these words, I vaguely felt that the unlucky experience of my father and Liu Shengfu later, and even their deaths, was probably related to the tomb robbery arranged by the Tang family that affected their luck.

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel disgusted with Tangfu Teahouse in my heart.

Without waiting for me to speak, Uncle Tang continued: "Zhang Shao, with all due respect, I don't think I need to say anything to you, a friend, the matter back then was very simple, that is, Chen Laizi and Liu Shengfu, two ruffians, came to our teahouse to steal things, and the owner showed them, and the owner saw that the two of them were pitiful, not only did they punish them, but also introduced them to a 'job' to do, and things were as simple as that." ”

After saying this, Uncle Tang turned around and walked downstairs, Zhang Rui didn't say anything more, waiting for Uncle Tang to go downstairs, Zhang Rui said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry Chen Daoyou, I didn't help you." ”

I smiled and said, "Thank you again." ”

After speaking, I got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Rui hurriedly sent me downstairs.

When I got to the first floor, I didn't know where to run to the Tang Bo who had just gone downstairs.

Sending me out of the teahouse, Zhang Rui smiled and said to me: "Chen Daoyou, the more the Tang family refuses to talk about the events of the year, the more they are hiding something, don't worry, I will secretly help you investigate this matter, if there is any news, I will notify you immediately, by the way, how much is your phone number, and how much is the phone number of that little Rou girl." ”

I gave my phone to Zhang Rui and didn't tell him Mai Xiaorou's contact information.

In addition, I always feel that this Zhang Rui's motives are not pure, as soon as he said those words of the Tang family, it obviously made me feel that he and the Tang family are not of the same mind, and he is likely to want to grab the Tang family's pigtails from my father and Liu Shengfu's matter.

Second, he kept asking me about Mai Xiaorou, which made me think that Zhang Rui was so kind to me because of Mai Xiaorou.

Thinking about it, I feel that Zhang Rui is not so trustworthy, he is too complicated, and he has a lot of flowers.

Compared to him, my way of dealing with people is simply weak.

After leaving Tang Fook Teahouse, I called Mai Xiaorou, and after we met, we took a taxi back to our accommodation together.

When I got home, I told Mai Xiaorou about today's situation, her thoughts were the same as mine, the Tang family had something to hide from us, and that Zhang Rui was not as close to the Tang family as we thought before.

He is a man with ulterior motives.

I asked Mai Xiaorou what to do next, and whether she would continue to investigate this matter.

Mai Xiaorou thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's take the time to go to Maogou to see what the situation is in that village, and then go up to the top of the mountain to see if the grave that was dug up by your father and Liu Shengfu is still there, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest." ”

I nodded, and I wanted to figure out more than anyone else.

However, Mai Xiaorou and I did not leave immediately, but arranged the time to the weekend, so that my studies would not be delayed.

Everything was quiet in the past few days when I went back to school, and it was soon the weekend, and Mai Xiaorou and I took a taxi to Maogou early in the morning.

In the past two days, we have also checked some information, and now the hat ditch has been very different from 20 years ago, 20 years ago the hat ditch was a poor mountain village in the west of the city, and now the hat ditch has been developed as a tourist area, it is said that a temple has been built on the mountain, it is said that it is a thousand-year-old temple, but in fact, the temple has only been built for more than ten years.

And near the hat ditch, there is a large villa area, that is the famous Xicheng Huafu villa area, because this side is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so the price is high and bizarre.

Compared with 20 years ago, Mai Xiaorou and I have changed dramatically, and it will be a little difficult for Mai Xiaorou and I to go this time to gain something.

Soon we arrived at Maogou and there was a parking lot here, and after getting off the bus here, Mai Xiaorou and I started walking up the hill along a winding cement road.

Standing at the bottom of the mountain, we can vaguely see the temple built in the middle of the mountain, as well as the villa area not far from the next door.

Mai Xiaorou grabbed my arm and smiled: "Looking at this, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to find any clues, there is too much difference between this and Liu Shengfu's description." ”

I thought for a moment and said: "Didn't Liu Shengfu say that he was locked up in a broken temple at the foot of the mountain, the new temple is now built in the middle of the mountain, and it is definitely not the site of the temple where Liu Shengfu is closed, so we are not in a hurry to go up the mountain first, go to the vicinity, see if we can meet the people in Maogou Village, and ask them if there is a broken temple under the mountain." ”

Mai Xiaorou said that my brain was quite flexible, so she followed me around the mountain first.

We really met a few old people at the bottom of the mountain, and after asking, we knew that they went to the mountain to incense, and they were the people of Maogou Village, but their old village was no longer inhabited, and now they all live in the new village not far from the villa area, all of which are two-story small buildings, very magnificent, as for what special tourism the old village area wants to do, all have been requisitioned.

We inquired with the old people in the village again and asked them if they had caught a thief twenty years ago and locked him up in the ruined temple.

Almost all of the elderly said they had not heard of it.

And from the look in their eyes, they couldn't tell that they were lying, they really didn't seem to know about it.

I couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Liu Shengfu is lying?" ”

Mai Xiaorou said: "From Liu Shengfu's description, I think he may not be imprisoned, think about it, even if a normal person catches Liu Shengfu, how can he do something to feed his snakes, rats, insects and ants?" I think it's probably a ghost haunting the neighborhood of Maogou, and if so, it would explain why the villagers of Maogou didn't know about it. ”

Could it be that after my father and Liu Shengfu went down the mountain, it was not people who chased them, but a group of ghosts?

It's getting more and more bizarre.

Although Mai Xiaorou and I didn't inquire about Liu Shengfu's arrest, we did inquire about the ruins of the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain.

There is really such a dilapidated temple in this Maogou, which is five or six miles away from the old village of Maogou, but it has been abandoned during the Republic of China.

And the broken temple is located under a steep mountain, very remote, few people will go there, the most important thing is that the broken temple is still haunted, it is said that when the original hat ditch was opened, it was to think of using the broken temple, but later because of the haunting, it was abandoned.

However, there are still people who have been to the broken temple to "explore", and they have come back safely, and they have not really encountered any ghosts.

Anyway, I think we should go to the ruined temple, which is probably the place where Liu Shengfu was imprisoned to eat snakes, rats, insects and ants.
