A square table, two bowls of weak tea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yan Sidao took a sip of the bowl of tea in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and spit out all the tea back into the cup.

This place is a tea shed in an alley in the west of Yueyang City, or is it rebuilt from a private house, a pergola is built on the side of the road, and a few tables and chairs are placed, which is a tea shed for guests to rest. In the entire tea shed, there is only one shriveled old man inside and outside to take care of the business.

Yan Sidao never dreamed that after Jingyue took herself out of Boss Tang's Songcui Building, she actually chose such a place to drink tea, and she couldn't smile bitterly for a while, so she had to knock on the side and say: "Brother Jingyue knows that this so-called tea is not only a good way to kill time, but also a good way to temporarily place one's mind, naturally it is not an indispensable thing in life, at best, it can only be regarded as the pleasure of dogs and horses." If this is the case, then we must drink good tea and choose a good place, otherwise what will we do with it?"

Xian Jingyue didn't pay attention to him, just took a sip of tea without delay, and then closed his eyes, as if he was slowly savoring the taste of this tea. After a while, he opened his eyes and said with a calm expression: "If you want me to help you, then I need to know all your plans." Speaking of this, he paused, and it seemed that he rarely spoke, so he had to think about his words in advance, and then asked again: "Start with the stolen military salary?"

Yan Sidao smiled, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the tea bowl in front of him. He didn't dare to eat this bowl of tea anymore, so he had to take the tea bowl lid in his hand and play with it, and said in his mouth: "This time I came to Huguang, I was entrusted by the little old man Wen Tianting, the leader of the Wulin Alliance, so about the theft of military salaries, since I have promised Wen Tianting, then I will naturally not miss the appointment, and now there are still several days before the deadline agreed with him, and I am not in a hurry." In contrast, on the contrary, Brother Jingyue, you rode thousands of miles and traveled a long distance to Huguang to find Miss Xie San's whereabouts, but you have not yet found it. There is a way that human life is at stake, and in my opinion, the matter of visiting Miss Xie San is the top priority at the moment. ”

When Xian Jingyue heard his words, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, but he still said: "Twenty million taels of silver are missing, and the government and the opposition have no clue, I hope you can really find it." ”

Yan Sidao saw that he had moved Xie Yixiang out, but he couldn't take Xian Jingyue's words away, so he shook his head helplessly, and asked, "Brother Jingyue, when did I say that I wanted to recover the stolen military salaries?" Although he said this in an inquiring tone, he also knew that Xian Jingyue would not ask questions and echo him. At the moment, he didn't wait for Xian Jingyue to answer, and Yan Sidao had already explained himself: "The military salary of the imperial court was stolen in Huguang, and it has been nearly half a month now, and the imperial court has only given Wen Tianting a period of 20 days to recover the military salary. Mo said that I only came to Huguang at this time to intervene in this case, and even if I had been involved from the beginning, I am afraid that the 20-day period would not be enough. Don't say it's me, even if it's the reincarnation of the gods and the iron bread duke, I'm afraid that it won't be too late to recover the stolen military salary, let alone solve the case. ”

As he spoke, he put the lid of the tea bowl in his hand on the table and continued: "So at this urgent moment, I explained it to Wen Tianting from the beginning. That is, although I promised him to come to Huguang for a trip, the purpose was to resolve the disaster caused by the theft of military salaries, so as to exonerate Wen Tianting from those guarantors and the seventeen dart bureaus that escorted the military salaries, but I did not promise him to recover the military salaries for the imperial court. As for how I am going to defuse this disaster, hehe, there are many more ways to do it, and recovering the stolen military pay is just one of the next steps. ”

Xian Jingyue knew that this person's city was unfathomable, and he had expected that the reason why he dared to come to Huguang in the name of "recovering lost salary" must be deceptive, most of which were some extraordinary means, or even inferior means.

At that moment, Xian Jingyue was waiting to find out the root cause and delve into the intention of this Yan Sidao, but Yan Sidao was not taboo, and went straight to him to confess, saying: "Since today's words have been said to this point, I will also say it directly." The reason why Brother Jingyue is willing to ignore his past suspicions and stoop down to help me is to join forces with the two of us to resolve this disaster together, which is a 'gentleman with a moral alliance'; You must know that the more chaotic the situation in Huguang is, the more opportunities I have to take advantage of it. ”

It is no wonder that this Yan Sidao will be so aggressive, and even do not hesitate to risk his life, and personally come to this dangerous Huguang territory, and really want to wait for an opportunity to make a fortune in the chaos and make a lot of money. Although Xian Jingyue didn't know what the purpose of accumulating money like this was, or maybe it was just his personal interest, but compared to the theft of the 20 million taels of silver, the net worth and lives of dozens of people involved, and the current war between the imperial court and Dongting Lake, which might be on the verge of breaking out, if there was really a way to resolve everything at the moment, so as to eliminate this disaster, then even if he really wanted to take the sheep inside, it would be secondary.

With this point in mind, Xian Jingyue's heart is already calm. At that moment, he showed a disdainful smile and said slowly: "With me, you don't want to reap any benefits." ”

Yan Sidao laughed, seemingly unconcerned. He stretched out his hand and poured the tea in the tea bowl on the ground with the tea leaves, re-flushed a bowl of white water, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Judging from the current situation, the theft of military salaries in the imperial court, the first target of the spearhead is Jiang Wangcai of Dongting Lake, and the disappearance of Miss Xie San earlier is also inseparable from this Dongting Lake. Therefore, whether it is to find the whereabouts of Miss Xie San, or to resolve this catastrophe, it is actually the same thing, that is, we need to start from Dongting Lake Jiang Wangcai. As long as you follow Jiang Wangcai's line, there will be no mistakes. ”

Yan Sidao's words were easy, but Xian Jingyue was suddenly stunned, and blurted out: "Senior sister is missing, is it related to Dongting Lake?" You must know that these days, Xianjingyue has asked a lot of martial arts people in Huguang along the road, but only found that Xie Yixiang and the people in the torture room came to Huguang to arrest the murderer of the court official Rose Thorn, but as soon as they arrived in Yueyang, the group was chased and killed by Zhuang Haoming's enemies, and finally was besieged in the Yueyang Mansion, but they were inexplicably rescued by the Rose Thorn who came to kill Zhuang Haoming, and fled with a trick, and there has been no news since. Outside of this, no matter how Xian Jingyue explores, there are no other clues.

But now that Yan Sidao actually said that Xie Yixiang's disappearance was related to Dongting Lake, how could Xian Jingyue not be shocked for a while?

Yan Sidao saw Xian Jingyue's appearance, and suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "But I was negligent, and I haven't explained it to Brother Jingyue yet." He lifted the tea bowl and swallowed a large mouthful of white water, moistened his throat, and then said: "Although this matter is just my inference, the truth is not difficult to understand at all, and it is even easier to say. Although Zhuang Haoming is a stupid person, he also knows the truth of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and protecting himself. He clearly knew that his enemies outside the capital were all over the world, so how could he run thousands of miles and risk his life for the trivial matter of a rose thorn and a sesame mung bean? Therefore, the so-called arrest of the rose thorn in the criminal arrest room must be just a cover. ”

He saw Xian Jingyue's brows furrowed, as if he hadn't realized the mystery yet, and couldn't help but smile slightly. At that moment, Yan Sidao took out the dry tobacco stick, and while filling the smoke pot with cigarettes, he explained: "Let me make an analogy, it is like a hunter who goes to the forest to hunt with honey, hounds, spears, etc., and keeps saying that he is going to hunt bears, but the real purpose is to hunt tigers, and the hunters just want to use the guise of hunting bears to confuse the real opponents, so as to make the tigers lose their vigilance." Hehe, on the surface, this matter is reasonable, but when you think about it, it is actually impossible. Because the hunter's way of doing this, firstly, may not be able to confuse the tiger, and secondly, he is likely to attract bears that he does not want to provoke, and finally cause the danger of being attacked on the belly and back. ”

Xian Jingyue seemed to understand the meaning of Yan Sidao a little, and said: "Unless there are no bears here, only tigers." ”
