Chapter 7 The Thin Man and the Old Meng
"Hehe, I'm still talking like this! I seem to have paid off all the money I borrowed from you, right? I don't owe you anything! When the fat man saw me, he couldn't wipe his face, so he had to laugh at himself.
"Looking for me?"
"It's not a big deal, I just thought I hadn't seen you for a few years, and I wanted to have a few drinks with you. This is your favorite roast chicken and peach blossom stuffed before. Wang Fatzi said, picked up the food box, and put out the wine and food.
Meng Slender glanced at me again: "What did you just say your name is?" ”
"Oh, Li Jianghu, Muzi Li, the rivers and lakes of the rivers and lakes, hehe, I've been looking for someone before, and I'm short of water."
"Sit down and have two drinks with me." Meng Slender hooked a small stool with his left foot and kicked it at me.
I glanced at Wang Fatzi still standing, felt that it was inappropriate, and put the stool behind him: "Master sit." ”
"It's a pity, a good seedling was ruined by you, a fake fat man. He called you Master, what did you teach others? Grave digging or autopsy? Do you want him to be a servant like you? Meng Slender nodded, poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
"The revenge of the real fat man has been avenged. And it wasn't your fault back then. You don't have to blame yourself, don't live alone in such a remote place anymore. If you want, move in with me. Wang Fatzi ignored the humiliation of the thin man, picked up the cup and poured a glass of wine and swallowed it in one gulp.
"No, I'm living alone, comfortable, and comfortable." Meng Slender Man tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it.
I swallowed my saliva, and looked at what these two people meant, I was afraid that this wine and food had nothing to do with me. So what should I do? Listen to them or do you want to cheer them on?
Seeing that they had a cup of wine, a roast chicken was also eaten to the point that only the bones remained.
Wang Fatzi finally spoke: "Lao Meng, in fact, I came here today, and I really have something to ask for. ”
"I know this meal is not so delicious, let's say, take advantage of my happiness for the past two days."
"Isn't your apprentice Long Yuhan the leader of the Tianyan team? I heard that Qin Cha is particularly important to him, I don't know if you can help me talk about it, and see if the Tianyan team is still short of catching fast, I ...... I want to send the rivers and lakes in. ”
Fat Wang, you finally thought about getting down to business. I swallowed my saliva and stood up straight, just waiting for the thin man's reaction.
Meng Slender Man really looked at me again: "Originally, after the events of the year, I swore that I would never care about the affairs of the government again, but now it seems that we have a good official in Xiangzhou this time, and we should select more outstanding people to assist him." ”
"Thank you for catching your head!" I quickly bowed deeply.
Meng Slender threw away the chicken bones in his hand and squinted his eyes: "I didn't promise to send you to the Tianyan team." ”
"Skinny!" Wang Fatzi was anxious and wiped his mouth full of oil: "You farted just now!" ”
"At the beginning of this year, Lei Thorn Shi and Meng Sima personally selected thirty elite hunters and named them 'Tianyan', the purpose of which was to investigate the situation of the entire Xiangzhou City. Unexpectedly, one of the Tianyan team named Zhu Jiang was actually a Tubo spy.
Fortunately, Qincha's eyes were like torches and he pulled him out, not only avenging the seventeen brothers who died tragically in the suburbs the year before last, but also in addition to a big traitor.
Yesterday, Long Yuhan came over and told me about the situation, I wanted to go to you, thinking about your birthday, so I didn't bother. You're here today, and we've celebrated together, and that's it. ”
Wang Fatzi glanced at me: "That Zhu Jiang has been eliminated, isn't there just one person missing in the Tianyan team." Why don't you let Long Yuhan get the rivers and lakes in? ”
Meng Slender Man was a little embarrassed: "When Long Yuhan became a fast catcher, he thought that when I was old with the real fat man, he called us 'master', and we taught him some kung fu, but in fact, there was not much master-apprentice relationship." Now his martial arts are probably above me for a long time.
Back then, the real fat man died to block poison darts for him, and I turned my face to him for this matter, saying that if he couldn't find the murderer, he wouldn't come to see me again.
Yesterday he came to tell me about the revenge, and although he still called me 'Skinny Master', I could feel that he had changed. A person who used to be optimistic and cheerful, but now he is as cold as a block of ice, which really deserves his name. ”
Wang Fatzi nodded: "But no matter what, since he is willing to come to see you and call you Master, he still has feelings more or less." Anyway, there are some things that you say are more convenient than me. I just see that he has a cold face all day long, and it's not easy to get along with, otherwise I'll beg him to go by myself, and I still need to come to you? ”
"Beg him to be a!" Meng Slender turned his face full of disdain: "This kind of thing happened in the Tianyan team, Lei Tingshi and Meng Sima are ashamed, and Long Yuhan, as the team leader, is afraid that he will not be able to escape the blame." Do they dare to rush in to fill the vacancies? I'm afraid that the remaining twenty-nine people in the team will have to be double-checked again. ”
Wang Fatzi disagreed: "How can it be so exaggerated, I think Qin Cha is quite tolerant of this matter." The day before yesterday, Qin Cha suddenly pointed out that Zhu Jiang was meticulous, and the evidence was conclusive, and he wanted to be escorted to the capital for interrogation with the thieves of Shenlong Villa, but he was careless and let him commit suicide.
I thought that Qin Cha would order his body to be hung at the city gate to show the public, as an example, but I didn't expect Qin Cha to let Long Yuhan bury him, and sighed that 'each is his master, and it is not easy for him'.
Long Yuhan got the order, not only let the fine work into the ground, but also prepared a good coffin for him. Hey, it's really puzzling! ”
"What's so puzzling about that? The dead are great, everyone is dead, no matter how big the hatred is, it will ......" I couldn't hold back for a while, blurted out, and suddenly realized that Meng Slender was still there, so I hurriedly swallowed the words.
"Alright, you can go." Meng Slender Man really changed his face again: "Thank you for raising love, I am a cripple, but I don't have such great ability, you Wang Fat Man is so capable, you can go directly to ask for Qincha." I've heard that if you are diligent and love the people, you might be able to do it. ”
"I ...... Where do I see people on weekdays? Besides, I'm a fool and always run to the side of the officials, and they are also unlucky. Wang Fatzi said with a face full of grievances.
"What does that have to do with me, I can't help it. Walk slowly, don't send! ”
"You ......" Wang Fatzi looked at him helplessly, and took out a bag of copper coins from his arms and put it on the stone table: "Jianghu, let's go!" ”
"Slow, take it. Who scarces your stinky money! Meng Slender picked up the money bag and smashed it at Wang Fatzi.
Wang Fatzi caught it: "Do you think I am willing to give it to you?" I'm afraid that you will starve to death and no one will collect the body! For more than two years, do you think that you will not have to worry about food and clothing with your monthly pension? Do you think that if you are so lucky, there will be well-wishers passing by to bring you food every once in a while? If it weren't for me and Long Yuhan, would you have survived until now? ”
"Is that you? On weekdays, the neighbors come to bring me food, and you secretly instigate it? Meng Slender blushed, I don't know if he was drunk or ashamed.
"Hmph, I was afraid that you didn't want to say anything if you didn't have face, who made you so crazy, what kind of murder are you still fierce when you are crippled?" Wang Fatzi said angrily.
I felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense, they were originally friends, but they were also people who wanted to save face, should they have a stiff fight because of my errand?
"I ...... When did I kill you? Let's tell the truth, I really can't help with this, listening to what Long Yuhan meant yesterday, Qin Cha is not ready to add people to the Tianyan team at all, he divided the Tianyan team into three groups, each group has three shifts, responsible for the city's security, enemy situation and other tasks, if there is an abnormality, you can report it directly. ”
Seeing that Meng Thinzi's tone had softened a lot, Wang Fatzi also cleared his throat and said softly: "If it doesn't work, forget it, anyway, I should retire in another three or five years, it's a big deal to let him take over my work." ”
"Hey, can you be a secret agent? I know a scholar, I call him Xiao Mu, he is a secret agent of the Qin Mission, but he often comes to see me, and he even came to bring me food and drinks yesterday. I'll help you ask when he comes back next time. ”
Xiao Mu? I scratched my head, remembering that he had called us this name when he had just entered the hospital with Wang Fatzi.
Spy? And what does it do? Is there a fortune? Is it possible to reduce taxes?
Thinking to myself, out of politeness, I waved my hand and said, "Thank you for catching your head." ”
"Spy? Xiao Mu? Is that guy reliable? Wang Fatzi was also worried.
"Well, he is about the same age as Jianghu, and he is quite gentle, and he first secretly came over on the order of Qin Cha to find out about the killing of the real fat man the year before last. Later, when he saw that I looked so pitiful, he would bring some food and clothing to visit me and chat with me in a few days.
He asked someone to make me this chair, and he will also help me take these baskets to the market and sell them. He came again yesterday, and it seems that he is quite familiar with Long Yuhan, if he asks for help, maybe he can still say a few words in front of Qin Cha. ”
Wang Fatzi was overjoyed: "Then where is his home?" ”
"His family? This...... I didn't ask. ”
"Then you're not talking in vain." Wang Fatzi snorted at me: "Let's go." ”
"Hey, wait for Xiao Mu to come next time, I'll ask you!" Meng Shout shouted behind him.
"Bai delayed me for half a day."
Seeing that Wang Fatzi was walking like flying, I also quickly quickened my pace and followed.
"Master, where are we going now?" After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I couldn't help but ask.
"Where to go? Of course, I went to the government. Wang Fatzi sprayed at me with anger: "As for where you go, it's my business!" ”
"Oh, I see, Master."
"Hey, wait, I'll see your mother in a while, but you have to tell the truth, remember, it's not that I don't help, but don't blame me again." Wang Fatzi instructed that he had blended into the flow of people.
I looked around, it was almost noon, I had been busy for most of the day, and I couldn't say anything. It's just that the thin man who was cheap and had a good meal.
Where am I going? Where can I go? I wonder if A-Niang's tofu bean curd has been sold out? Thinking so, I went to the place where Ah Niang used to sell tofu.
