CHAPTER XIX. The Tale of Two Kugits 9

People marvel in their hearts because they don't know that this stonemason is the underground liaison of the famous Uncle Kazak. He was the first layer of Kazak's commission business when he tied up the tickets, and he was crucial. He was looking for someone he had worked with so many times, who seemed to be a foreigner, who spoke with a thick Northland accent and words that were clearly not Swadia. This person has a trait that he loves to drink. This is a true drunkard, who wandered to Alberon many years ago, before which he seemed to have spent time in all the towns and cities of the Suno, but in the end he chose the hospitable Alberon to settle down. He usually helped the peasants to renovate the roofs and replace them with new tiles or thatch. Occasionally, when the rich man's family hired a short-term laborer to harvest grain, he also went to help, and ate with food, no, mixed wine and drink. People only doubted his identity at first, but after a few years of contact, people gradually stopped caring so much about the origin of this person, as if he was in life, and people just thought that he was a confused old drunkard. The stonemasons had approached this drunkard in several previous commissions, because there were several characteristics, or rather advantages, of this drunkard. First, he has a good criminal record, and seems to have been a drunkard in the town of Alberon from the beginning, and the newly-born child has long regarded him as a member of the town; Second, he never asks much, he only pays attention to the things within his work, and he firmly follows the process given to him by others, "Take this letter to Suno Trading House and give the receptionist 20 copper plates, he will not let you register your order category, and will lead you to a clerk." Give the clerk 5 silver coins, and he will not ask more, give him the letter, and then give him 15 dinars. Then, go for a drink."

There's never anything wrong with this airtight delegation mechanism. Kazak was always able to get his ransom safely before the sheriff's people figured out what was going on, and then after a while, the kidnapped would be drunk and thrown into the city.

Regarding the drunkard, the stonemason doesn't know anything else, only the drunkard's nickname: "Brother Mullet Roe (Wuyue Drunken Immortal = wyzx = (Sogou Pinyin) = Brother Mullet Roe, can you forgive me???? The stonemason didn't know why the drunkard took a nickname that resembled a water thief, mullet roe.

The stonemason saw the mullet roe in the deepest part of the tavern, which was already looking a little senile. He bought 2 large glasses of ale and asked a boy to follow him. He sat down in front of the mullet roe. Mullet roe slept on his stomach on his two crossed arms, weak and tight after being drunk. Sensing that there was someone in front of him, Mullet Roe raised his head and looked, he thought for a long time before he remembered that the person opposite was the same stonemason who often came to him to "do business". Mullet Roe has wandered many places, and he knows that these informants are generally involved in crimes, and the risk is proportional to the profit, so Mullet Roe can calmly accept the generous salary given to him by this stonemason. Mullet Roe is very smart, and he knows that behind this kind of lucrative profit is an abyss, so he is cautious not to inquire about anything that might cause him trouble. This, in turn, brought him a good name.

Mullet Roe confidently took the fragrant ale in front of him, and took a sip of no more or less, not only taking a satisfied sip, but also leaving a large half of the cup that still looked full. Mullet Roe felt a rush of wine on his head, making him feel that his neck suddenly became as light as a reed, and his heavy head was involuntarily tilted to the sides, and after trying to stabilize his head, Mullet Roe burped and spit into the aisle with satisfaction. Although the stonemason likes to be careful with mullet roe, he can't hide his dislike for alcohol. It's been a long time since Mullet didn't care what others thought of him, and years of alcoholism had left him at the junction of illusion and reality, and he didn't pay much attention to any one world. But today, Mullet Roe seemed to care about the stonemason's disdainful expression at that moment, which made the stonemason feel his powerlessness like never before. Mullet Roe obviously felt the aging of his body during this time, which made him suddenly break out in a cold sweat in the chaos: he still had a wish that had not been fulfilled. He knew his body, which gave him even fear, years of alcohol had taken his spirit away, but he kept his last promise, he had one last wish. With this as the bottom line, he lives a life of drunken dreams and death. When he suddenly found that he suddenly couldn't even keep this bottom line, a deep uneasiness and guilt awakened the sorrow and sobriety that he hadn't seen for many years.

So, when the stonemason's glance of disdain was seen by the mullet roe, he suddenly gave birth to an unquenchable anger.

"Yes???? Belch????? Live? ”

"Yes, the same as last time. A friend of mine, you know, is not very convenient. He's in trouble and wants to entrust a professional agency. Same as last time, good business. We have a friendship, so I came to you. You've had time lately, haven't you, friend? ”

"Well, that's there. You?? Belch?? You know that, me?? Got it today?? Tomorrow, there is Shangton???? Belch??? Belch??? No, I'm old, and I have to think about it for the future. I mean, do I need more? More wages?? This time"

The stonemason frowned, "Listen, as a messenger, you've earned enough. It's not a question of whether you can ask for a pay increase, it's a question of whether or not I want to give you the job, you know? Hey, don't sleep, you know? ”

Mullet roe, look up. He looked playfully at the conceited stonemason, who thought he was a clever man, and said, "Oh, sir, my fault. Looks like I'm not going to be able to do this job. ”

The stonemason didn't know why this drunkard, who usually didn't say a word, had a lot of trouble today, and it was okay to contact other clients, but none of them were suitable for this mullet roe. The stonemason had to patiently think of words to reassure him, "No, you can do it." I'm quite optimistic about you. Go ahead, I'm relieved. ”

The stonemason's condescending attitude stinged the mullet once again, and he felt that the stonemason was a little mushy and arrogant, and could not speak. Mullet roe sat up one by one, and the stonemason squeezed out a smile: "Got it figured?" ”

Mullet Roe said slyly, "Hehe, after you decide if you want to do the work for me, there is one more thing. ”

The stonemason's mouth twitched: "What? ”

Mullet Roe said coldly, "I decided whether to accept it or not." ”

The stonemason's fist clenched, and he couldn't bear to beat the drunken flesh in front of him. Mullet Roe was not afraid, and some kind of blood in his heart began to burn, and Mullet Roe remembered the time many years ago, when he could defeat as many self-righteous stonemasons as he came. This kind of heroism was awakened by the stonemason, the mullet roe has not heard the spectacular sound of the sea tide in his hometown for a long time, and has not blown the cold sea breeze in his face, this hillbilly stonemason dares to come, the mullet roe brother is a person who can fight. Back then, in the tavern in Suno, he knocked down a young adventurer because he didn't agree with a word, and with a punch, the young man fell. It's the same with this stonemason, mullet roe is not easy to bully.

The stonemason calmed down, he knew that he could not delay things because of his anger at this time. He had to adjust himself well, and used what he felt was a very lowly attitude to accommodate this mullet roe.

Mullet Roe finally overwhelmed the stonemason on the opposite side with momentum and situation.

After blackmailing the stonemason a few glasses of wine and two large plates of roasted meat, Mullet Roe agreed to accept the original price for a trip to Sunuo. At this time, he caught a glimpse of the stonemason's gloomy expression on his face, and couldn't help but want to continue to rectify him. He even did not hesitate to give up his signboard, just to embarrass this stonemason.

"I say, Brother Stonemason. This time, the son of which family was unlucky. ”

The stonemason hammered the table, "That's a bad question, you know?" ”

"Oh, I'm just asking. I know what you dare not say, and I dare not be interested in what you dare to say. Okay, I'll send a letter to Suno. ”

"Do you have a problem with me?"

"No, are you a stonemason, what can I say to you. I'm just because you don't dare to say it, so I dare to ask, because I can't ask anything in the end anyway, and I still don't get in trouble haha. ”

"How do you know I dare not say it?!" The usual shrewdness and rationality of the stonemason have been tossed away by a series of impudent performances of the mullet roe today, and now only the courage of the ignorant puppet remains. This is the reason why the stonemason can't do great things, he is essentially an uncontrollable person.

"Say it."

"It's the nephew of a tax collector in Suno, and his name is Arcadio II."

"Arcadio?!"

"What's wrong?" The stonemason thought that the mullet roe knew this Arcadio, and was surprised, and he thought a lot about the lightning and stone fire. Sensing the upheaval in the stonemason's tone, and with the astuteness of his words and expressions brought by his years of experience, he said, "Arcadio???? Belch??? But?? Rhodocs?? The last name of yours?? It's a big business. ”

The stonemason was a little relieved when he heard this. He had just regained his true character as a shrewd thief, and he decided that if the drunkard might reveal the plan, he would find a time to kill him, but after Mullet Roe skillfully avoided the incident, he dispelled the idea.

"So, when are you going to go to Suno?" The stonemason began to urge.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll be mentally recuperated tomorrow."

"Try to hurry, we'll wait for you to come back before we can arrange it. It's bad luck that you made a mess of things today. After drinking the rest of the wine, I left. ”

The stonemason held the wine and waited for the mullet roe to come and clink glasses with him, usually the mullet roe always carefully touched the lower end of the stonemason's wine glass, this time, the mullet roe raised the wine glass, buckled the mouth of the stonemason's cup high, and drank it himself. The stonemason was dumbfounded, and he felt that it was a great insult to be clinking glasses with such a rotten thing to be touched underneath. The stonemason angrily stopped drinking the wine and threw it on the table. He asked the innkeeper to take the letter and give it to him when the mullet roe woke up. The boss responded.

At this time, the stonemason regretted that he was provoked by mullet roe today and said the most unspeakable thing, if Kazak knew about it, he would definitely be rectified. He looked back at the mullet roe uneasily, and the mullet roe had returned to the original posture of resting his head on his arms, one hand scratching his open chest, looking drunk and not knowing anything. The stonemason relieved himself slightly, turned and walked out of the shop.

This can't help but Ruda (Ruda, who is dressed very brightly, welcome to the appearance??? How do you look like Uncle Lu Zhishen???? Not happy. Ruda was born into a family of patrolmen, and he knew that handling cases was meticulous work. However, most of the work is actually for the very beginning of an entry point, with this breakthrough, although the subsequent work seems complicated, in fact there are traces to follow, and the psychology of the case handler will also have significant changes. Before and after a simple breakthrough point is found, the difficulty of the case is simply judgmental.

Ruda didn't expect that when he had the most no ideas, the breakthrough found him by himself.
