Brother Liang and Brother Biao actually arrived in the provincial capital on the same day, and Brother Liang took the train one earlier than Brother Biao with Erjo and the cake, and arrived nearly three hours before Brother Biao.

However, because Brother Liang wanted to meet the big man to no avail, he went to the street to sell radishes, wasting a lot of time; Later, he threw the radish into the moat, alarmed the city management, and was chased for several streets, and when they successfully escaped and were exhausted and out of breath, Brother Biao had already seen Chen Meng leave the provincial prison and was ready to go home.

In a word, Brother Liang arrived in the provincial capital before Brother Biao, but visited Chen Meng after Brother Biao. This seemingly insignificant detail had a very far-reaching impact on the outcome of subsequent events.

Brother Liang took two pieces and cakes, and met Chen Meng the next morning. At this time, Chen Meng was not as surprised and angry as yesterday, but very calm, and even had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking thoughtful.

Chen Meng returned to the cell after seeing Brother Biao the afternoon before, and he was sad and angry at first, thinking that I was wrongfully imprisoned, and none of you * people said a fair word; Now he has gone all the way to prison for a broken chess game.

Am I a living person, better than a piece of broken paper?

Chen Meng thought so, didn't pay attention for a moment, and kicked over a tea jar for brushing his teeth. He was beaten violently by the prisoners in the same prison on the ground, and after the beating, he sprinkled urine on his body. Then the prisoner commanded:

"Lie in the urine and don't move, soak for half an hour."

Chen Meng's name sounds very fierce, he was known as "Brother Meng" on the rivers and lakes at the beginning, but when he arrived here, he could only lie in the urine and not move according to his words, and he really soaked for half an hour. The urine on his body went from warm to cold, and he felt desperate from hurt in his heart.

Half an hour later he got up and muttered to himself with tears in his eyes:

"I'm really not as good as a piece of torn paper. When will this kind of life be worse than death? ”

After saying this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his head: the fragment of the chess game handed down from the Song Dynasty may really be more important than his life. Otherwise, Brother Biao would never have come to the prison to visit him.

I saw on the street before, the two sides either spit or put up the middle finger, this time Brother Biao, with the respect of the boss, actually ran to the prison to smile at him Chen Mengmei, what does this mean?

It shows that the fragments of the chess game are not only more important than Chen Meng's life, but also more important than Brother Biao's personal dignity, and the key is that the other party may think that he, Chen Meng, is the only hope to find the fragments. In that case, why not use the fake as the real as a bargaining chip to make conditions to them?

Chen Meng later lay in the corner, thinking over and over again, anyway, he is in prison, and he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, even if they find out that they are talking nonsense, what can they do to him? I can't hear the scolding, and I can't reach him by biting him.

Thinking of this, he regretted the performance when he met Brother Biao just now, he really shouldn't be rude for the sake of impulsiveness, and turn around and leave before the time for the visit was up.

In this way, Chen Meng was sad and regretful at the same time, and stayed up until the next morning, when suddenly another prison guard came:

"Chen Meng, someone is visiting."

He thought that Brother Biao would not give up, rest for the night, reorganize his words and negotiation conditions, and come to him again. So I made up my mind that this time I must open my mouth and peel off a layer of skin from Brother Biao.

Unexpectedly, when I walked to the visiting room, I looked through the glass and saw that there were not two people sitting outside, but three.

In the center is not his former rival Brother Biao, but his own boss and brother; The other two, one like a bamboo pole and the other like a balloon, are the former brothers Nijo and Mibiscus.

If it weren't for Brother Biao's visit yesterday, Chen Meng would probably be full of anger when he saw Brother Liang today, either turning around and leaving, or sneering, or even scolding "fuck your mother".

But after soaking in the urine of fellow inmates for most of the day yesterday, Chen Meng calmed down a lot; After another night of boring thinking, his IQ also stepped to another level. It can be said that from this moment on, Chen Meng is no longer the little minion who shouts and shouts with people on the street.

Nijo stammered and didn't say a word; Brother Liang was not righteous towards Chen Meng at the beginning, but at this moment he had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't know how to use words to open up the situation for a while.

Finally, the grass cake on the wall squeezed the fat on his face inward, threw out a disgusting smile, and greeted:

"Hey, bro, are you okay in there? Brother Liang has brought us to visit you. ”

Chen Meng despised this meat ball brother quite a bit, his face was silent, but he was scolding in his heart, fuck your mother, beat you up every day, and pour urine on your head after the beating, you will know if it is good inside.

Chen Meng ignored the cake, but winked at Brother Liang, and said with a smile:

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Liang, why are you so free today, and come here to make trouble for the police comrades?"

"Trouble the police comrades", this is the original words of Chen Meng when he was arrested and asked Brother Liang for help at the police station, and Brother Liang shirked his responsibility. When Brother Liang heard it at this moment, he knew that Chen Meng had always hated his unrighteousness in his heart.

If in normal times, Brother Liang is not afraid of others holding grudges, people are in the rivers and lakes, to say that few people hold grudges, in fact, it is a performance of no interest.

However, now he has a request for the other party, and the other party is very unfriendly as soon as he speaks, and the language he has just organized in his heart is instantly useless.

Brother Liang had no choice but to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry brother, I really didn't expect you to be sentenced so heavily." ”

Although he said nonsense, Brother Liang admitted his mistake in front of his subordinates, and this was the first time in his life. The two and the cake next to him, I have never seen Brother Liang show such a low appearance in front of people. The two of them felt a little gloating for no reason.

Chen Meng saw that Brother Liang opened his mouth like a quail, and his heart was instantly filled with pleasure. At the same time, he understood two things:

First, my guess last night was not wrong, the chess game fragments that everyone was looking for were unimaginably important and mysterious.

Second, if you confuse the truth with the fake, the conditions can be very high, and it can be unimaginably high.

Chen Meng had confidence and a goal in his heart, so he temporarily threw his resentment out of the clouds, and said again with a smile:

"Brother Liang, where did you go? You didn't get me in, you don't have anything to do with me. ”

In Brother Liang's opinion, if Chen Meng continues to vent his anger and even scold him, things may have a turnaround.

He knew his subordinate, and knew that this person was usually loud and arrogant, but with just a few thoughtful lies, he could make him dizzy and obedient.

But Chen Meng was so calm, Taishan collapsed in front of him without being surprised, which was completely unreasonable, but it made Brother Liang a little panicked, and he still didn't know how to get into the topic, so he had to try to whitewash the original matter:

"No, brother, I went to find a relationship and wanted to get you out. But because of the fire, the nature of the matter changed completely, and everyone was powerless. ”

This is a complete lie, of course Chen Meng knows it very well in his heart, but he still does not show his face, only yawns into the air, and retreats as advances:

"Brother Liang, it's been more than a year, and there's no point in talking about it anymore. If nothing else, let's end our meeting. ”

After saying that, he stood up and pretended to leave. Brother Liang was in a hurry, and immediately waved his hand to stop it, almost scolding his mantra:

"You ...... day, ah, no, brother, listen to me, I came to you today, and there is indeed something else to do besides reminiscing about the past. You sit down first, sit down first. ”

Chen Meng saw that Brother Liang was a little incoherent, and his heart became more calm. sat down again, and looked at Brother Liang with a non-smile.

At this point, Brother Liang was no longer afraid of abruptness, and the language was not very organized, so he went straight to the topic:

"Brother, do you remember what caused the incident a year ago? I'm here today to put an end to this matter once and for all. ”

Chen Meng smiled gloomily: "Still looking for that chess game scrap, right?" ”

Brother Liang was stunned for several minutes. He didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth to talk about business, the initiative of words was taken over by the other party. If it had been before, he would have been like a thunderbolt, spitting at people would be light, and if he couldn't get it right, he would have to smash things with his hands.

But at this moment, Brother Liang just grunted in his throat twice, and immediately reacted, being in the prison ground, and there was a policeman standing five steps away, so he couldn't be too presumptuous, so he swallowed the saliva into his stomach stiffly, and crossed his hands to resist the urge to smash things.

Chen Meng looked at Brother Liang and was speechless, so he leaned into the probe and whispered:

"I know where that broken piece of paper is. I've been waiting for you to ask me. I didn't expect to wait for a whole year. ”

Brother Liang was suddenly surprised and delighted, and the urge to spit and smash things was gone, and he fell into incoherence again:

"Well, that's great, tell me, where are the pieces of the game?"

Chen Meng knocked on the glass less than ten centimeters from his forehead, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he smiled gloomily again:

"I'm not going to tell you."

Brother Liang was stunned again. Looking at Nijo on the left, and then at the cake on the right, the three of them sat and looked at each other.

Chen Meng yawned and said casually:

"For this piece of broken paper, I was sentenced to more than ten years. If you think about it, how can I easily tell people about its whereabouts? ”

As soon as Brother Liang heard the words, he hurriedly asked:

"Brother, what are you going to say? As long as I can do it, I will help you. ”

Chen Meng began to sell Guanzi: "You can't do the conditions I prescribed." But the person who is looking for the game behind you can do it. ”

Brother Liang was a little anxious: "What are the conditions?" You didn't say anything, how do you know I can't do it? ”

Chen Meng's lips were close to the sound hole in the glass, and he said in a voice that only Zhou Weiliang could hear:

"Get me out."

Brother Liang was stunned again. Chen Meng leaned back and continued to say lightly:

"I won't tell the whereabouts of the game until I'm out."

After speaking, Chen Meng didn't even say goodbye, and stood up to leave. Before turning around and taking a step, Chen Meng paused again, as if he remembered that he should warn Brother Liang:

"Don't expect to force me into submission. Brother Liang, you have to understand that barefoot people are never afraid to wear shoes. There is only one gambler dad in my hometown, and if you torture him to death, I will only be happy and not sad. As long as I'm not happy, the secret about the whereabouts of the chess game will rot in my stomach forever. ”

With that, he disappeared into the depths of his cell. Brother Liang sat for a long time, and slammed his last fist on the meeting counter, and scolded hatefully:

"My sister's, I've been underestimating this guy."

The prison guard next to him immediately rushed over with a baton and shouted at Brother Liang:

"Be civilized with your mouth. Don't mess around here, or they'll send you straight in. ”

Brother Liang hurriedly stood upright, nodded, bowed, and said with a sneer:

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'm so excited. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. ”

Then, he took Nijo and Mikichi with him.
