Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly, according to the image described by the woman, then this group of people is definitely not from the Night Punishment Division.

But besides them, what other dignitaries and nobles will find him?

Looking at their posture, it is clear that they are here to find fault, is it possible that they have provoked some big shots?

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more strange he felt, and then asked the neighbor to find out what kind of message those people left when they left, and went back to ask the old man who lived in the yard.

So with a hint of apprehension and curiosity, Jiang Chen rushed back to the courtyard he had rented before, and the old man who had been taken in by them was really still living here.

However, when Jiang Chen asked about the morning, the old man replied without asking: "This wine should only be in the sky, and I ask for seven points of drunkenness every day!" ”

"Hey, uncle, the smell of wine on your body is ......"

Jiang Chen walked into the house and found that the jar Jiang Yuebai he brought was almost drunk to the bottom.

It turned out that in the days they left, the old man stole his Jiang Yuebai all day long, and this person also became more and more confused the more he drank, talking nonsense all day long, asking him everything without knowing anything.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, why are you depressed?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at the old man and said, "Old man, you really treat this place as your own home, and you are not polite to me at all." ”

"Originally, I was going to keep this wine and drink it when I had a celebration banquet with everyone."

This time, from Shanguan Town to Ziyang, then to Longjiang, and finally to Jinyang, the royal capital, he brought such a jar of Jiang Yuebai, but he didn't expect to cheapen this old man in vain.

However, Jiang Chen was not so angry, after all, the old man was an expert in knowing goods, and looking at the way he was intoxicated, it could be regarded as a recognition of Jiang Chen's winemaking skills.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, your wine is the heavenly fairy dew, like sweet rain to nourish the heart, it is not in vain that I have survived to this age."

The old man suddenly restrained his perverse temperament, became deep and serious, and I don't know what years he remembered about himself, and recalled the infinite glory he once enjoyed.

Jiang Chen simply sat on the ground with the old man, took the wine jug and took a few sips.

"Good wine doesn't drink so happily, I'll drink enough with you today!"

Jiang Chen laughed, revealing all his pride, and the old man was also very encouraged, raised his head and clapped his hands again and again.

When the wine was drunk, the old man sang a song in the middle of nowhere, singing a country nursery rhyme from nowhere, the tone was tactful and funny, and it had a different taste.

After singing the song, Jiang Chen said: "Uncle, you are homesick." ”

"Yes, I can't remember how many cold and summer have passed, whether the way home is still the way I remember, it's too far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in my lifetime."

The old man's face full of vicissitudes of life showed a sense of helplessness and desolation, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the deceased Lao Wu from him, and there seemed to be a lot of similarities in them.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, thank you for drinking with me, this is my gift to you in return."

Suddenly, the old man took out a scroll from his bosom, the surface was yellowed, the margins were rolled, and when he got closer, there was an indescribable strange smell, like the sour smell of a person who has not bathed for several months.

Jiang Chen slowed down, the smell was a bit high, and then he understood where this smell came from.

"Uncle, what is this? It's not a precious calligraphy or painting, is it? Jiang Chen said half-jokingly.

"Hmph, precious calligraphy and painting have my thing valuable, then I haven't seen it, all in all, its value is worthy of your care for me for a while, my old man has no long things, only such a thing I have been reluctant to throw away."

"I'll give it to you this time, just as a memory."

Jiang Chen immediately asked the old man, "What, you want to leave?" ”

"I've been bothering here for a long time, and I can't stay on forever, this is not my home."

The old man looked into the distance, it was the direction of the sunset in the west, maybe the hometown he had been thinking about was in the west.

Jiang Chen suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, but he knew that everyone had their own place to go, and there was no need to force the old man to stay here, as long as there was fate, they would naturally see each other again.

Even if there is no fate, today's wine has drunk the happiness of life, what is there to regret.

Jiang Chen carefully put away the scroll, and then said to the old man: "If you don't meet in life, then I won't keep you, but as long as the old man misses me, Jiang Yue is white, you can come back to me at any time to drink!" ”

"Hahahaha, Jiang Xiaoyou, you and I have lost your temper after so many years."

The old man stroked his gray beard and said angrily: "Jiang Yuebai...... It's such a good name, I can't remember any other famous wine in the world, which can be compared to Jiang Yuebai! ”

"One day, Jiang Yuebai will be famous all over the world, and when there is Jiang Yuebai, it will naturally be the old man's home."

Jiang Chen boasted of Haikou with great pride, this was a wish that had been wandering in his heart for a long time, and he never doubted that he would definitely be able to realize it.

The old man laughed happily, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Jiang Chen and said, "Jiang Xiaoyou, the group of people who came to look for you this morning are not ordinary people, maybe they have something worth using for you, and I advise you to pay attention to this matter." ”

After saying this last sentence, the old man sang the nursery rhyme again, and his rickety back accompanied his hoarse voice gradually drifted away.

Jiang Chen carefully recalled what the old man said, those people are not ordinary people, does it mean that their status may be higher and unattainable than ordinary dignitaries?

Because generally speaking, even the rich merchants and nobles only have more wealth than ordinary people, and strictly speaking, they still belong to the category of ordinary people.

The old man asked him to pay attention to these people, which should be a kind reminder, and Jiang Chen also kept this matter in mind.

It wasn't early, Jiang Chen left the courtyard and was about to go back to Yu's house, but just before he could go out, he bumped into Shen Xueying of the Night Punishment Division, and saw that there was a touch of joy on her face, and it was estimated that the words of the cat Wuying played a role.

"Our cat girl is a cheerful and neat person, and it didn't take long for me to promise me, so she helped me with this, and I should really invite her to a meal when I go back!"

Shen Xueying asked, "What, won't she invite me if you invite her?" ”

"It depends on whether you let me do what I need to do first."

Sure enough, Shen Xueying's purpose in coming to Jiang Chen was to take him to the Water Pavilion dungeon, and she finally agreed to Jiang Chen's request.

"This person's name is Liu Kui, and he claims to be a bully in the villages around Longjiang City, but he has not committed any crimes of rebelling against the imperial court and assassinating officials, and he refuses to say anything else."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "This person has used a fake identity, and even the name Liu Kui is fake. ”
