Chapter 8 Horror of the Corpse Horror Eight
Since Qin Tai and his wife had just come to Jinyiwei, they were worried that they didn't understand the rules, so they sent an experienced "helper" to serve Qin Tai. The so-called "ganghans" are the lowest members of Jinyiwei, but in fact, most of the "gangers" are supernumerary personnel. Not only do they not have a grade, but they don't even have uniforms, so they are not real brocade guards. But don't underestimate these "gangsters", they are not only the head snakes, but also the most effective soldiers of the Jinyi Guard in addition to the regular army. They played Jinyiwei for status and future, and after becoming Jinyiwei, not only did they have a backer, no one dared to bully them, but their descendants were guaranteed. Those like them who live at the bottom of society have to fear not only for their own lives, but also for their descendants. Some of the most vicious people will take revenge on the wives and children of their enemies. Only by entering the Jinyiwei can their families be protected by the Jinyiwei, and ordinary people dare not touch the Jinyiwei's family. There is also a point that Jinyiwei is hereditary, that is to say, Lao Tzu is the son of Jinyiwei, and he can inherit it in the future and also be Jinyiwei. In this way, future generations will have a way to live and can gradually break away from the bottom of society. For the sake of future generations and the future, they are willing to be "helpers" and work hard for Jinyiwei even if they go to death. So Qin Tai and his wife didn't look down on this "helper" named Lao Liu.
Lao Liu is not only the "old fritter" in this area of the capital, but also the "Bai Xiaosheng" of Jinyiwei. Zhan Xiaoxiao gave Lao Liu some old clothes, and after hearing that Lao Liu's daughter-in-law had just given birth to a daughter, she gave Xiao Ping'an some clothes to Lao Liu. Lao Liu was not polite, and accepted the clothes while thanking him. Lao Liu, who accepted the clothes, became a little more lively, and told Qin Tai and his wife about some of the internal things of Jinyiwei that he knew. Although most of the things Qin Tai and his wife had already learned from other channels, they were still taken aback by the current situation of Jinyiwei.
Under the repeated requests of Qin Tai and his wife, Lao Liu had dinner together before leaving Qin Tai's and his wife's house. Before leaving, Lao Liu not only took a large bag of clothes, but also carried a pot of vegetable oil. This exhibition must be given to Lao Liu, saying that it is to let the daughter-in-law of Lao Liu's family eat better to replenish her body. Lao Liu left with great gratitude, but not long after turning to the street, Lao Liu looked at the clothes and tea oil in his hand disdainfully, and threw them into the stinky ditch on the side. Unexpectedly, this move was all seen by Zhan Xiaoxiao, who was secretly following him, Zhan Xiaoxiao watched Lao Liu leave, looked back at the things he had left, sighed and left.
Zhan Xiaoxiao entered the house, and when she returned to the room, she saw her husband Qin Tai looking at her. Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that her husband Qin Tai had already guessed the result, and still said involuntarily: "Did you already know?" Whose subordinate is this Lao Liu? Why approach us? How much of his words are true? Can you believe a lie? ”
Qin Tai pulled his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to sit down, and said slowly: "You, you are too kind. Since having children, your heart has become softer and softer. If you were the same as you were at the beginning, you would definitely immediately see that something was wrong with Lao Liu. But now, as soon as you see the shabby Lao Liu, and then hear that the Lao Liu family has a newborn child, you immediately think about how to help others. Thinking that the old Liu family was not having a good time, he insisted on giving him the whole pot of vegetable oil he had just bought yesterday. I guess that the clothes and tea oil were either lost by Lao Liu or given away. Seeing that you came back so soon, you must have been thrown into a nearby stinky ditch. Right? Have you forgotten what I taught you? Observing a person requires not only the eyes and ears, but also the brain. Think back to Lao Liu's every move, don't think about the problem with feelings, and analyze it well. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao said while thinking about Lao Liu: "Lao Liu is probably in his forties, and he may be in his fifties. The stature is medium to thin, no, he should have a restrained temperament. He always bent over and didn't dare to hold his chest up, not because he couldn't straighten up, but because he was worried about bursting out. Instead of having a hoarse voice, he was worried that his voice would be too loud to get our attention. Although he was dressed shabby, his skin was smooth and should be well maintained. By the way, as you said in his face, this kind of person has less than six relatives, and he should be a person without a wife and children. Therefore, the fact that a daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter must be false. In that case, he should not have believed his words. He approached us to spy on us? Or is it to sabotage our investigation? ”
Qin Tai said slowly: "This person has a problem, not only these superficial phenomena. For example, when he speaks, he looks left and right, which means that he is lying. As we spoke, he looked straight at us, fearing that we were hiding something from him. And he keeps looking at you, not because you're pretty, but because he's worried that you'll suddenly attack him. Did you find out, in fact, he didn't eat much, and it was all the dishes he ate after we ate them. This is because he is worried that you have drugged the food, which shows that he not only knows what you are capable of, but also knows that we are good at using drugs. The biggest flaw is that when he heard that you have a son, he was not surprised and did not ask about your child. Generally, the elderly who have children at home always like to talk about their children, or ask each other how their children are. Exchanging experiences with each other on raising children is called taking the 'Children's Sutra'. Have you forgotten that you often talk about these things with your family? An old man who doesn't care about his offspring is either unkind or lying. However, not all of his words are false, and even if there are some problems, they can be analyzed and understood. First, he is really a person who is very familiar with the capital place. Second, he is quite familiar with Jinyiwei and should be regarded as the old man of Jinyiwei. But it won't be a gangster, maybe it's pretending on purpose. It's not that we haven't seen the gangsters of Jinyiwei, and the ordinary gangsters are not only young but also from gangsters. An old gangster like him has a problem at first glance. If he is still a gangster at his age, he will have no future to officially become a Jinyiwei. The descendants of the Banghan are not considered Jinyiwei, not only can they not be hereditary, but they also have no way to live. Therefore, the elderly helper either left in frustration, or saw through the world and was unwilling to stay in Jinyiwei to work. Third, he is an experienced veteran who is good at reading words and feelings. Fourth, he must have approached us with a purpose. It's either spying on us, or trying to use us to do something. For this, he needs to be trusted by us, and he knows that we know some secrets, so the information he provides generally does not deviate much from the truth. But we can't fully believe it, and we need to analyze it and guess at the same time. Otherwise, we will be led by the nose by him. The reason why he wants to tell us these things is that nine times out of ten they are related. He wants us to believe in Him, to lead us into the trap He has set, to control our attention, to gain our trust, and then to carry out His plan. We are either his tools, his scapegoats, or his pawns. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao said: "Shall we expose his true colors?" Who is behind him? ”
Qin Tai shook his head and said, "No, we can't startle the snake. This kind of person is not only thoughtful, but also good at facing danger. If we catch him, not only will he not tell the truth, but he will most likely kill himself, which will expose our strength. It's better for us to pretend that we don't know, watch him act, and see what his purpose is. Is it spying on us? Or guide us? Or is it trying to frame us? Then we prepare accordingly and treat each other well when the time comes. Of course, he can also be used to give the other party some false information and fake news to confuse the other party. You can also treat him as a subordinate and use him as a master for a while. A master like him usually doesn't have a chance to use it if he wants to, so you have to make good use of this opportunity. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao also nodded and said, "Okay." Since he wants to play a subordinate, let him be a subordinate. I want to leave him with an unforgettable memory that he will always remember this experience. Just look at it, I will definitely let him suffer a big loss of 'dumb people can't say that they are bitter when they eat coptis chinensis'. ”
After Lao Liu came the next day, Zhan Xiaoxiao really asked Lao Liu for help. Early in the morning, Qin Tai went to a pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs. Zhan Xiaoxiao commanded Lao Liu and processed the medicinal materials into powder. Originally, there were special tools for slicing and grinding these medicinal herbs, but Zhan Xiaoxiao deliberately did not take them out. Lao Liu said yesterday that he didn't understand medicinal materials, so he didn't dare to say that he needed tools. Zhan Xiaoxiao gave Lao Liu a kitchen knife and asked him to slice it, the medicinal materials not only had to be sliced but also cut very thinly, and the medicinal materials were dry and hard, so it was very difficult to cut. Zhan Xiaoxiao asked Lao Liu to slice them, and she grinded these cut herbs into powder for later use. Qin Tai is responsible for bottling and sorting out the medicine box, because the case is going to be investigated, so the tools and medicines need to be fully prepared and organized. Qin Tai rarely had a good mood, and carefully sorted out one by one for backup. The multi-functional medicine box that Qin Tai asked the carpenter in his hometown to build many years ago was finally useful, and Qin Tai happily fiddled with the medicine box.
