Chapter 33: New Sorrows
"You two, I still have something to ask the next two." Jiao Yuqin's voice was very weak, but he could feel that he could already use his strength, and he was no longer so angry.
We hurriedly stopped, thinking to ourselves that he had not been completely cured, and that there were some new adverse symptoms.
Zuo Daochang pulled me into Jiao Yuqin's bedroom hurriedly, but saw that Jiao Yuqin was not unusual, his complexion was much better than before, and he had already stood up at this moment, and was sitting against the wooden board at the head of the bed.
"Wife! You're waking up so soon. Thank God! "The old aunt has been cooking just now, this is the first time Jiao Yuqin woke up and saw her, so naturally she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart." Wife, are you feeling unwell? ”
"I'm fine, I'm totally fine." Jiao Yuqin looked at his wife and said guiltily.
"Then don't bother the benefactors, they still have their own business."
"It's not my business, it's my two friends." Jiao Yuqin's eyes revealed a little anxious. "Wife, this matter is to tell these two benefactors alone, you should take this little girl out to rest first."
"Good...... Good. The old aunt naturally had doubts, but it was inconvenient to have another seizure, so she covered the door alone and walked out silently.
And Su'er was also obedient, she remembered what I told her earlier that no one could touch her casually, so she sat up on the sofa alone from the old aunt.
"Daoist Zuo, I'm ashamed to say that I only cared about running away alone that day, and I forgot the two friends who broke into the secret room with me." Jiao Yuqin said worriedly. "I wonder what happened to them? I have limited mobility right now and would like to ask you to help me find them. ”
"Is there a very fat guy among your friends?" I asked. "Dao Leader and I rescued him from the Wuying Palace, he should be fine now."
"Thank goodness, that's good, that's good." Jiao Yuqin thanked again and again. "That fat man's name is Zhang Wenwu, he is not a bad person, but his style is slightly worse."
Zuo Dao and I looked at each other, and both of them looked disdainful.
"Then my other friend Chen Fuming, I don't know if the two of you have seen him in the Forbidden City? He wasn't tall, but he was quite spirited, with neat parted hair, a suit and tie. Jiao Yuqin continued.
We shook our heads powerlessly. "Old eight, we haven't seen the person you mentioned, we always thought he ran out with you."
"I wasn't very conscious at the time, I do remember taking Lao Chen out, but I really can't remember whether he followed me after leaving the secret room." Jiao Yuqin was ambiguous.
"Maybe he's already escaped like you." I comforted.
"Hey...... What I'm most worried about is this Chen Fuming, you don't know, he came to Beijing this time, and called his old friend Zhang Wenwu over, in fact, he came to ask for help. Jiao Yuqin's heart became restless. Jianghu emergency. ”
"Jianghu emergency? Does he owe money? ”
"That's right, he was originally a big boss like me, doing chemical production, and this year the environmental protection department has introduced a lot of policies, and he has accompanied a lot of money." Jiao Yuqin said. "After losing the money, he thought about borrowing usury, and the more the arrears accumulated, the more he borrowed, the more he couldn't pay it back, and finally the underworld came directly to the door."
"So serious?"
"Fortunately, this guy still has a head and face in their local area, and the underworld only threatened him, and did not kidnap him or abuse him. But this is not a long-term solution after all, so he approached me and Zhang Wenwu hoping to borrow some money to help him. Jiao Yuqin explained. They are all friends, and Chen Fuming was the most developed before, and he also funded us in times of crisis, so we would naturally lend him money, and Zhang Wenwu and I could basically repay his debt if we got together, so we felt quite happy, so we drank more wine. ”
"There's nothing to worry about, since you can pay back the money, then everything will be fine."
Jiao Yuqin shook his head. "Hey, this friend of mine, he's a businessman, and I understand that others don't understand him. He has always refused to suffer losses, and the loan shark itself is actually cheating him, and he is actually unwilling to repay the money in his heart. At that time in Quanjude, he vaguely said a few words, saying that the money he borrowed from me and Wenwu would have to be repaid sooner or later, but in essence, he was still being played by himself, he wanted to find a place to hide, and he wanted to pay back a penny directly. ”
"Can it still be like this?" I was dumbfounded. "Now there is no privacy in this society, there are eyes everywhere, and you can be found wherever you go."
"I thought so too, so I told him at the time, I said that you don't have to pay us back in a hurry with this money, you send those underworld away, don't think about any crooked ways." Jiao Yuqin held on to the edge of the bed and slowly unplugged his mobile phone from the power supply, in the end, it was the boss, and he didn't forget to charge the mobile phone that had been down for many days as soon as he recovered.
"Could it be that you doubt him......" I felt a little worried.
"I suspect that I brought him into the secret room of the Forbidden City, and he had evil thoughts and wanted to hide in that secret room to avoid debts, because that secret room is indeed isolated from the world."
The secret room in Jiao Yuqin's mouth is naturally the realm in the painting of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet". If he can hide in the realm of painting to avoid debts, he is indeed a good choice, but this Chen Fuming is indeed not in the realm of painting, and I can testify to it.
"I'll say a few more words, my friend is not tall, split-headed, and wears a suit, yes! He also has an obvious characteristic, that is, because he was injured in the army before, his left leg has shrapnel, so he will limp when he walks for a long time. ”
"Jiao Laoba, you can rest assured that Boss Liu personally went to the secret room to check carefully, and to tell you the truth, your other friend Zhang Wenwu was rescued from the secret room in your mouth, and there is indeed no Chen Fuming you are looking for." Zuo Dao Chang explained for me.
"The Taoist chief is right, that's it." I continued. "Chen Fuming must have run out, in the painting...... There is no doubt that the people in the secret room can testify. ”
We helped him rule out the possibility of such a danger, and he Jiao Yuqin became even more agitated. "That's not right, since I woke up just now, I've been checking my phone, but I just haven't found any communication from Chen Fuming after that day."
Saying that, Jiao Yuqin handed me and Zuo Daochang, I took the phone and looked at it, in the five days that Jiao Yuqin was in a coma, there were indeed many, many people contacting him, and the unsolved calls piled up several pages, and the text messages were also piled up, but there was no news from Chen Fuming.
"Could it be that he was in trouble and changed his number?"
Jiao Yuqin hurriedly shook his head. "No, the numbers we use between my brothers are all private numbers, and I have two cards on my phone, one of which is dedicated to contacting all close friends. It's the same with Chen Fuming, the number he gave me to contact was only known to a few people. ”
"That's kind of weird."
"It's really weird, you think that if he really runs out, he will definitely contact me as soon as possible, and he wants to ask me for money." Jiao Yuqin said. "But he didn't contact me at all, he should have told me even if he didn't borrow money, he didn't contact me for five days, and not only that, just now I tried to call him a few times, and found that his phone has been turned off."
"This!" The tense atmosphere slowly began to escalate, and Daoist Zuo and I began to realize the seriousness of the problem, and Chen Fuming's situation was probably no better than Jiao Yuqin's.
"Could it be that he, like Mr. Jiao, also had a strange disease, so he also passed out?" I speculated. "Then he fell into the Forbidden City."
"No, it won't." Zuo Dao Chang immediately interrupted me. "Boss Liu, you think, if he really gets sick, then he must not be able to run far, either in a coma in the Forbidden City, or in a coma near the Forbidden City, as long as it is in this area, it will definitely be obvious that he will be found by the police, once the police find him, he will immediately use his mobile phone to contact his usual contacts, a strange person appeared in the Forbidden City late at night, this should be explosive news."
I have to say that although Zuo Daochang's reasoning is very jumpy, it is well-founded.
"That's right, but it's even more unbelievable, you think he can't have escaped, and he can't have been sick, so why hasn't he heard from him?"
Daoist Zuo's expression was much more solemn at this time, and he took a deep breath. "I suspect that he did go into hiding, and did not leave the Forbidden City at all, and he remained conscious."
"This ...... How is this possible, so the only possibility is the realm in the painting, but it is obviously not. "I blurted it out, but it doesn't matter if Jiao Yuqin understands it or not." Mr. Jiao, the realm in the painting I am talking about is the secret room, you don't have to be surprised, this is my personal customary name. ”
"The Realm in the Painting!" Zuo Daochang's body suddenly shook, and his face became very ugly. "It's broken, it's broken, if that's the case, it's broken."
"Dao Chief, what do you think? Let's hear it. "Seeing that the left path should be so strong, I can't sit still." You're making it hard for people who don't understand. ”
"Boss Liu, you shouldn't have thought of it." Zuo Daochang closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. "You said that he is not in the middle of the painting, it is one-sided, this Forbidden City is now not only the middle of the painting of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet".
I suddenly realized, like a cold light in the center of the eyebrows, that's right, Wu Yingdian has been exhibiting two peerless famous paintings these days, compared to "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", another famous painting is obviously more mysterious, more exquisite, and more status. It is the first of China's famous paintings, and it is also the most typical representative of Chinese painting art, and there is no reason why it does not have a more incredible painting realm than "Han Xizai's Night Banquet".
