Chapter 56: The Mystery of the Bamboo Pavilion
In the evening of the same day, the bulletin board was removed from Woyun Building, and the building gradually became noisy again, with an endless stream of guests and friends.
Xu Changqing came to Woyun Tower, and did not let Woyun Tower break bricks, but let Su Yu and others sleep well. Knowing that there is one less Mingtang to stare at behind is indeed a lot more reassuring.
Boss Le smiled with a face, watched the people coming and going in the building, and after a while, he got tired, lifted his fat legs, and went up to the second floor to rest.
He opened the curtains and stepped out of the terrace to look out at the night sky. The snowstorm, which had been falling for many days, finally stopped tonight, and the clouds dispersed considerably, revealing a deep night sky. Suddenly, he suddenly muttered, as if talking to himself:
"It's a pity that today is twenty-seven, and there is not much left of the waning moon. Otherwise, in such a night, if you hang a bright moon, warm two or two small wines on the red clay stove, and eat a few bites of Quanjude's roast duck, it is wonderful in the world. Do you say, Jiang Xiaoyou?"
A hearty laugh suddenly came from the silent night sky, and a figure jumped down from the hidden place on the upper right edge of the terrace, and landed steadily beside Boss Le.
"Wine doesn't wait for people to be mellow, and it's time to have fun, why bother looking at the moon's face?" Jiang Lin said with a smile, and he didn't blush and be embarrassed when he was discovered.
Boss Le laughed, looking at Jiang Lin who jumped up, he was neither angry nor surprised. Instead, they entered the house, dragged out a low and small red clay stove, set up a wine jug, and the two sat directly on the terrace and drank wine.
After waiting for a long time, Boss Le didn't ask him what he meant, and Jiang Lin felt that he was a mysterious and unfathomable person.
Although there is no trace of qi on Boss Le's body, his facial features seem to be several times sharper than ordinary people. A pair of eyes that are always squinting, often bursting out with a clear gaze, giving people the illusion that there is a vast world hidden inside. Jiang observed from a distance for a long time, but he still couldn't see his details clearly. Jiang Lin's palm painting chatting is not long, and it is not uncommon not to know this person, but Bai Haitang is also the first time to hear about the character of Boss Le, which is strange. Boss Le, a person who started out of business, when did he start to have so much to do with people in the Yin and Yang Dao?
He only used one trick in the capital to float the power of the Yin and Yang Dao in front of the Temple of Heaven, and the entire pattern seemed to be in his hands. Take tonight as an example, Boss Le easily broke through his hiding place, and how he did it is impossible to guess.
It is fruitless to look at it for a long time, and it is useless to think about it. Jiang Lin retracted his gaze and drank all the wine in his cup.
"The younger generation has a few doubts in his heart, I wonder if I can solve it with the boss of Dele?"
Boss Le took a sip of wine with a smile, "Jiang Xiaoyou has come all the way from thousands of miles, and it is fate to be able to get together in Woyun Tower, and the old man will naturally tell you if he can understand it." ”
Jiang Lin nodded and asked, "I wonder when Boss Le started to join the business house and become the boss?"
Boss Le didn't expect Jiang Lin to ask such a question, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed an appreciative look in a blink of an eye. Countless people have come to inquire about his identity, and the way in which this young man asks is different from others.
His heavy earlobes swayed, and he said with a smile:
"It's not a long time. How old is the Su family doll today, and how many years has I been the boss. ”
Jiang Lin was able to understand it at one point, and his eyes became surprised. Boss Le just said today that he had seen a three-inch Su doll, could it be that he had been to Yangzhou? After a little thought, he guessed it.
"You met Su Cheng at the Suyu Hundred Days Banquet, and you only did business after that?
Boss Le glanced at Jiang Lin faintly, and the flesh on his body trembled, "It was many years ago, and what the old man remembers at this time is just a lily man." ”
Jiang Lin looked slightly depressed, and he had been haunted by the death of his master. finally met a senior who had seen his master, but he was not a person in the Yin and Yang Dao, and he wouldn't know much about the past stories.
Seeing Jiang Lin's frustrated appearance, Boss Le opened his eyes and comforted:
"The dead are gone, and they cannot be pursued for long. Jiang Xiaoyou, you played this painting very well, and Lao Liweng praised you in Jiuquan, why do you still have any pain in your heart?"
Jiang Lin listened to this question, but it really touched the heartstrings. He drank all the wine in his cup, and the bitterness in his heart was gone.
Even if I have the heart to raise my eyebrows and exhale for my master, I am like I am blind at this time, and I can't find this way. If Master is here, how can he not accuse me of being stupid?"
Boss Le became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Lin and said: "Jiang Xiaoyou has something difficult, although I said it, with the relationship between the old man and your master, I have to help you do things today!"
Jiang Lin straightened his face, and a hope inexplicably rose in his heart. He had been in Beijing to search for the Zhuli Pavilion for several days, and he tried his best to find it, but to no avail. Boss Le has great powers, maybe he can provide a little clue?
In the whole city of Beijing, there are a total of 11 places in the name of Zhuli Pavilion, three selling tea, selling operas everywhere, two selling sex, one tailor, and one is a local tyrant's garden. But there was no trace of the Daigo monk. Jiang Lin guessed that the two of them would never deceive him at this critical point, either the monk Daigo lived elsewhere, or someone got the news and found Daigo one step ahead of him, or killed or led, Daigo was no longer in Beijing.
Without Daigo, I don't know where the Eight Brakes Demon is, the Linjiang Mirror can't be repaired, Zixin can't come back, and the days of painting and chatting will be difficult.
"The situation in Hualiaozhai is dangerous, and I came to Beijing to find someone in the Bamboo Pavilion. It's a pity that this is probably a dead end set by others, and the younger generations can't solve it after all their efforts. At this time, I am worried that there is no way out. ”
Boss Le laughed, "In the midst of the great thousands, there is life everywhere, where is there a dead end? The mountain is high and has its own passenger road, and the water depth has its own ferryman's boat." Jiang Xiaoyou is right to ask the old man today, the old man will come to cross you. There is no one you are looking for in the eleven bamboo halls in Beijing, so it seems that you will be mistaken. The mystery of the three words of the Bamboo Pavilion, you only dismantled the word 'Pavilion', and the word 'Bamboo' has not been solved, why not start here?"
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, and the worry between his eyebrows suddenly resolved. The pavilion is also a house. Bamboo, that is, in the bamboo forest. He has been entangled in his residence, thinking that the place he is looking for is called "Bamboo Pavilion", but he has lost its original intention. Who said that the name of the Takeri Pavilion must be "Takerikan"? As long as you live in the bamboo forest, even if it is called a kennel, it is also a Takeri Pavilion.
"What Boss Le meant, the juniors understand!"
Jiang Lin's heart disappeared and he smiled happily. Secretly planning to start tomorrow, you need to search the bamboo forest in Beijing.
The sorrow was relieved, and the wine didn't have to be drunk anymore, Jiang Lin got up to say goodbye, Boss Le didn't move, and only smiled:
"As the Buddhist saying goes, it's good to go to Zen on the cross street. There is a good bamboo forest at the intersection of Zusi Street and Shique Street, Jiang Xiaoyou might as well go and see it. ”
Jiang Lin was shocked in his heart, and even people like Daigo, who had been hidden for many years, knew who this Boss Le was? The city of Beijing was really omniscient, omniscient, and awe-inspiring. I was relieved in my heart, fortunately, I was friends and not enemies with him, otherwise it would be really difficult to continue to stay in this Beijing city.
Jiang Lin thanked him and turned to leave the terrace.
Boss Le waited for him to leave with a smile, and then called Jingping in the room.
Jing Ping came in through a small door in the room, habitually pushed his glasses, and said seriously: "Boss, what are your orders?"
"Tell the Su family doll about the Bamboo Pavilion, Jiang Xiaoyou, this kid, is determined to take the lead alone, which is a big loss. Su Doll followed me to rest assured. Ming'er, Taichang Temple, Jin Wuwei and those people received the news, and they will definitely come to my Woyun Tower to ask for someone, and they are ready to send them away. ”
Jing Ping answered, spread out the notebook, and took notes seriously.
"Call Hua Whale back too. Those stubborn people in Taichang Temple will inevitably be beaten, if it is about fighting, you are not as good as him. ”
Jingping's expression did not change, but this article was left blank in the notebook to show dissatisfaction. Seeing that he didn't leave, Boss Le asked, "What's the matter?"
"One more question. Jing Ping straightened his face, full of curiosity. "Can painting and talking about the Lord of the Fasting be successful?"
Boss Le was happy, raised his head and drank, and half a pot of wine instantly went down.
"Everything in the world is happening. The opportunity for this painting was planted twenty-one years ago. Whether it will succeed or not will be doomed. ”
Jingping's dull face finally showed a faint joy, put the book under the threat, and turned to leave.
