"Guest officers, what do you want to do?"

On the shore of Luoshui, an ordinary wine shop.

Wei Tao found a corner and sat down, asked the store to make a few plates of the dishes he was good at, then asked for a pot of coarse tea and drank it slowly.

Across a table, Dian Yu and a few Taoist guests sat together, ordered a few plates of braised meat and vegetables at random, and sat quietly waiting.

At this time, there was no one in the restaurant.

The kitchen serves the food quickly, and in a short time, two tables are full, and the aroma is rich.

"Just a little bit of a belly pad, and then we're going to get to work.

When I'm done with this place, I'll take you to Luoshui City to find the best restaurant to have a big meal and a tooth sacrifice. ”

Wei Tao put down the teacup, picked up a chopstick, fried crispy meat and put it in his mouth.

couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and quickly tasted a few more bites of the dishes on other plates.

He couldn't help but call Xiao Er again, ordered all the dishes to be prepared, and added a jar of old wine.

Although this wine shop may look ordinary and even a little tattered, the food is delicious, and the home-brewed drinks are very fragrant and have a unique charm to go with.

Before long, there was only a little soup left at the other table.

Dian Zhen turned his head to look at Deacon Wei who was pouring himself drinks and piling up plates and bowls on the table, and he didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to call the store to add food, so he had to hold a tea bowl in his hand and keep pouring tea into his stomach.

Later, Wei Tao couldn't stand it, so he added another round of dishes to them.

As meal time approached, diners flocked to the restaurant, which soon filled the entire wine shop.

Later, there were still people coming in twos and threes, and there was no place to wait outside, or to get some quick braised pork and cold dishes first, and squatted on the side of the road to eat and drink.

Only Wei Tao sat at the table, and he sat alone from beginning to end.

It is full of all kinds of signature hard dishes, and even if someone wants to come to the table, there is no place to put their own things.

In the midst of the noise, a young man in brocade with an ape-backed bee waist walked into the wine shop with a delicate girl.

Wei Tao drank a bowl of wine, his eyes swept over the two of them, and then continued to deal with the smoked goose in front of him.

But in the next moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl behind the young man.

Her eyes lingered on her slender and white neck, as if she had been drawn to all her attention.

Even the mysterious silk that had not yet grown lush again in the body began to speed up and meander away, becoming a little more energetic.

Noticing Wei Tao's undisguised gaze, the young man's face changed slightly, and a little vigilance and anger flashed in his eyes.

Wei Tao beckoned to him.

The young man in brocade looked left and right, and slowly came to the front.

"Sit." Wei Tao pointed to the bench opposite.

The young man stood still, "I don't seem to know Your Excellency, and we haven't met before. ”

"When we meet in Pingshui, we are all guests from other places."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, "The meeting of Daozuo is fate, so what's the harm in sitting down and drinking a glass of water and wine together?" ”

"Your Excellency ordered so many things by yourself, can you finish it?"

As the young man spoke, he sat down across from him.

The girl rubbed the corners of her clothes and stood behind with some cringe.

"With two people joining, I'm afraid that this table will not have enough dishes."

Wei Tao pointed to the vacant seat on the side again, "What is the girl still standing doing, it's just a light meal, don't be polite." ”

She looked at the young man in brocade until he nodded and then sat down cautiously.

A few glasses of old wine were in their stomachs, and the young man's vigilance was slightly lowered.

Especially when he confirmed that Wei Tao was from Qingfeng Guan, he immediately let down all his vigilance and even talked more.

After some conversation.

Wei Tao learned that the young man's name was Xu Shengquan, and his family ran a dyeing and cloth business, and he also had a small fleet of ships at the wharf, and he was also a slightly famous merchant in Luoshui City.

The girl is Xu Shengquan's cousin, and her family has opened a martial arts gym, and at the same time she is also engaged in the business of seeing doctors and selling medicines, and bruises.

Although it is not as good as the Xu family, it is no longer a rich life that ordinary people can hope for.

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, until they had eaten all the dishes on the table and drank a few jars of old wine, and then they left each other's address information to say goodbye and leave.

Wei Tao watched the two get into the carriage and leave, disappearing at the end of sight, and the faint smile on his face quietly disappeared.

"Dark." He glanced around.

"Your Excellency, please command."

"You go and keep up with them, especially the little lotus girl, and figure out her range of movements."

Wei Tao thought about it and said slowly, "Pay attention to concealing yourself, don't get too close, just need to know which places she has been to." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Wu Yin bowed slightly, took a few steps back, and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

……………………

In the evening, the lights come on.

Wei Tao came out of the Yuelai Inn in Luoshui City and walked all the way along the long street.

found Dian Zheng and the others who were eating and waiting at a roadside noodle restaurant, and then quickly left the main city and came to the boundary near the shore of Luoshui.

He compared the information he had received from Liu Qingyuan, and finally stopped near a high-walled compound.

"This should be it."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Dianji began to sort out the equipment he had brought with him, "What are you going to do, Lord Deacon?" ”

"Don't be so nervous about the warden's nephew......"

Wei Tao smiled and said, "Lord Li Guan has long said that the rule of this view is to convince people with reason and move people with emotion.

We just came here to investigate some of the situation this time, of course, we still have to explain the reason clearly and thoroughly with people, and if they understand it, they will naturally cooperate with us. ”

Dian Zhen listened carefully, and said thoughtfully, "What Uncle Shi said is extremely true, such a simple truth, the disciple didn't even think of it, and he always thought about using force to solve the problem. ”

Wei Tao nodded, and was already standing in front of the door as he spoke, "The rivers and lakes are not all about fighting and killing, but more about human feelings, I'll show you how to communicate with people to get information in a while, you learn a little bit." ”

"Disciple understands......" Dian Zheng nodded earnestly.

After a knock on the door.

There was a soft squeak.

A man in black opened the small door and looked inside.

"Who is you?"

He narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

Wei Tao looked at the other party through the half-foot-sized space, and when he saw the familiar mark, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He Liu Qingyuan obtained the information from the Pilgrimage Division, saying that Mr. Fei, who lived here, had contact with the people of Moxianglou before.

The two sides have clashed several times, winning and losing each other, and may be able to know some more clues about Moxianglou from their mouths.

Unexpectedly, her information was very wrong.

Now it seems that it is not that they have had contact with Moxianglou who live here, but that they are originally from Moxianglou.

Noritake followed closely and looked closely, wanting to see how the deacon communicated with people.

It is also good for him to learn a hand, and if he encounters such a situation in the future, he can deal with it in the same way according to the gourd painting scoop.

Without warning, there was a loud bang.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Stone steps shattered, sawdust flew.

Dian stood there in a daze, stunned as Deacon Wei smashed the door open with a punch.

Then he stepped into the courtyard again, grabbed the man in black by the neck, and pressed him heavily to the ground.

Click!

Click, click!

The sound of bones shattering rang out at the same time.

The man in black howled miserably, and then was slapped in the face, leaving only a whimpering and low sob, spilling out from the depths of his throat.

Dian Zhen shivered, and looked at the few people beside him, relatively speechless.
