In the traditional southern teahouse, the most prestigious is Tao Tao Ju, Lianxiang Lou, Hui Ru Lou and other places, among which this Tao Tao Ju is located in the tenth Fu Road, formerly known as Grape House, Guangxu six years changed hands by a Chen surname boss to operate, renamed Tao Tao Ju, and then transferred to a person called Huang Jingbo in charge. Boss Huang has a good management, invited Kang You to write a roll call for the title, and used the word "Tao Tao" as a crane top grid, and openly solicited couplets, so that the reputation was famous, and it was a good place to drink morning tea.

I got a reply, immediately called Noor, and drove to Taotaoju. When I arrived at the place, I found that perhaps because of the reputation too negative, the teahouse was simply crowded, and the huge storefront was stunned to find not only a vacant seat, but also a long line of people lined up in front of the door, I looked around the crowded hall, but did not see Maitreya's iconic bald head.

The crowd made people feel a little confused, and at this time, a person suddenly walked next to him, wearing a suit and leather shoes, black leather shoes and tie, dressed as a white-collar person, very shrewd and capable, he looked at me and Nuer, and then said, "Are you Mr. Chen?" "

I nodded, and the man smiled and said, "Hello, contemptible Wang Qiushui, is a subordinate of Boss Lu, and I talked to you on the phone just now." I'm sorry, just now my boss didn't know that Tao Taoju's business was so good, but it turned out to be here, which is really rude. But we've found a spot in the café next door, and we'll ask the owner to bring some refreshments in a moment, so please come with me - by the way, what is this gentleman called? "

Nur used ventriloquist language, and in order to avoid fuss and try not to speak, I explained to him that this gentleman's surname was Liang, and he was also an old friend of Maitreya, and he had a mouth disease and could not speak, so please don't be surprised.

Wang Qiushui glanced at Nuer, and then said, "It's okay, since we are old friends of the boss, let's come together." "

He led the two of us all the way to the café next door, where the morning café was ajar with a piano piece by Chopin or Mozart, and the sound of the piano was like flowing water, hitting my eardrums and creating a wonderful feeling. The café is not large, but the scenery inside is obscured by vines and delicate screens, but it is impossible to see it all at once, and I walked around two screens before I saw Maitreya's signature bald head, squinting in the corner.

After Wang Qiushui led the way, he nodded slightly to Maitreya, and then left, preparing for us to go early, and I sat down with Maitreya and was just about to be polite, but Maitreya, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and said in an extremely flat tone: "Brother Zhicheng, what are you looking for me?" "

His straightforwardness saved me a lot of tongues, but when I took a closer look, I was suddenly surprised.

You know, I have never told Xiao Guanyin, and Maitreya my real name, and my name was changed after going to Maoshan Mountain, at this moment was called out by Maitreya, I suddenly stiffened, and then I realized that I had a serious discussion with Maitreya yesterday about foreign trade issues, but it was out of the ocean, and Maitreya should have known my identity for a long time.

The feeling of talking nonsense with my eyes open is really bad, and it is punctured at this moment, even if I am already thick-skinned, I can't help but blush a little. But I wasn't too shy, and naturally asked, "Why, do you know me?" "

Maitreya smiled softly and said, "The eldest disciple of the Maoshan Sect in charge of the real person, the leader of the special service group of the Second Division of the General Administration of Religion, you are also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, how can you not know you?" "

My pupils suddenly condensed, and I said slowly: "Sure enough, I know that Brother Maitreya is also a person who travels the rivers and lakes, I don't know what line of work you are in?" "

Seeing me and Nur on guard, Maitreya smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "Don't be nervous, you two, I'm not the object you are looking for, and it has nothing to do with your case, I came here today to catch up with my friends, not anything else, if you want to get to the bottom of me, I have no obligation to cooperate." The reason why I met you is just to see Xiao Guanyin's face, to get straight to the point, because time is limited, and I don't want to go around in circles with you. "

Although I don't know what connection Maitreya has with the Min Sect that we are tracking, I think he also seems to have the intention of using us to cut off this organization, so I directly told what happened yesterday, and then asked, "You appeared by the river yesterday and told me your address, it must have been done on purpose, right?" "

Maitreya smiled, neither denied nor admitted, but smiled faintly: "This is all your speculation, you came to me today, did you just want to tell me this?" "

I shook my head and asked directly, "No, I just want to ask you, how can I find the lair of the Min Sect?" "

Maitreya shook his head and said, "The lair of the Min Sect, such a big force as your Religious Affairs Bureau has never known about it, and how could I possibly know about it?" I think you're really asking the wrong person about this - uh, well, Tao Taoju's refreshments are here, you can try them? While speaking, Wang Qiushui didn't know what means he used, he really called two guys from the hot Tao Tao Ju, and walked over with a tray full of refreshments and snacks, and the man in the suit and leather shoes said with a smile: "Come and try it, Tao Taoju's custard buns are full of aroma, and there is a very special coconut milk flavor; The thin-skinned shrimp dumplings were also nice, like a work of art"

Wang Qiushui instructed the men to serve food at the table, our conversation was interrupted, and at this time I was thinking, judging from yesterday's events, I was almost sure that Maitreya wanted to reveal something to us, but he was very hypocritical, never said it explicitly, but liked to let me guess the degree, I think this may be because he is also afraid of revenge, or other reasons.

But this kind of circle, it's really uncomfortable, I didn't continue, but waited for a qiē to put it properly, after the two guys of Tao Taoju left, I asked Maitreya another question: "Okay, don't talk about Wen Gongzi, Maitreya, my fat girl, is it here for you?" "

Maitreya raised her eyebrows and asked puzzledly, "What fat girl?" "

I saw that he didn't know anything, so I said directly: "It's a very magical little monkey, it used to grow up with me from childhood to adulthood, it was the best partner, and then when I was in southern Xinjiang, before I met you, I was separated from it, and there was no news from it since, until in my heart, someone told me and saw it with you."

"Impossible!"

Maitreya categorically rejected my claim, shook his head and said, "No, I have never brought any monkeys. You can ask Qiushui about this, ask him when I have had such a pet? "

After Wang Qiushui next to him poured us tea, he shook his head and said very seriously: "There have never been any monkeys around the boss. "

I stared at Maitreya's deep and dark eyes, and felt that this enigmatic man had too many things that I didn't know, and I looked at it for about ten seconds before I nodded and said calmly: "Oh, in that case, it may be that someone else has been dazzled." But I hope that if the person who picks up the fat girl can treat it well, the little guy is very simple, and whoever is good to him, he will be twice as good to him."

Maitreya smiled and didn't speak, and began to eat the dazzling array of breakfast on the table, Wang Qiushui next to him also opened, let us taste it while it was hot, I ate a custard bun, and then began to talk about the direction of several clues to find Wen Gongzi, regardless of whether Maitreya is willing to listen or not, it is almost over, this morning tea is over, I have no nostalgia, holding the table in my hand and preparing to leave, before that, I finally asked: "As outsiders, I don't know what to teach me?" "

Maitreya took a sip of tea, shook his head, and then raised his glass and said, "I may have been in Nanfang City recently, do you have time to drink tea together?" "

And Wang Qiushui said without a trace: "You said that Gongzi Wen once boasted to you about Haikou, saying that if you want to eat lobster, you can find him, so hanging?" It's a shame to say something like that, at least that's what I think."

Wang Qiushui's words made me suddenly enlightened, by the way, we have always mistakenly thought that the prosperous fishery used by Wen Gongzi as a cover is just a lie, and the so-called control of more than forty percent of the underground water market is estimated to be about drugs, but now it seems that maybe the prosperous fishery may really exist, but it is hidden relatively deeply, and ordinary people may not know about it - we asked people to go to the industrial and commercial bureau to investigate, but they are not detailed, but we don't know that there may be something else in it

You went back and forth for a long time, and finally got what you wanted, and Nur and I didn't stay any longer, and got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, I looked at Maitreya's face like a Buddha statue, and said sincerely: "Brother Maitreya, you and I have known each other for more than ten years, and I really hope that we can be friends in the future, and I don't want you to become the target of my investigation one day." "

Maitreya stretched out his hand to shake my hand and smiled calmly: "That is, I will be a grass man under the rule of Team Leader Chen in the future, please take care of me." "

After saying goodbye to Maitreya, on the way back, I called people to go to a nearby fish market and a high-end restaurant, and asked them to investigate where they got their goods from. They didn't understand my instructions, but they did so, and after about two hours, they came back one after another, and most of the investigations showed that the goods were related to a Wenji fishing company in Shantou.
