Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Night Changes in the City
Wu Bao followed the shopkeeper of the "Huailou" to a side hall. After taking Wu Bao to the back shopkeeper, he left quietly without saying hello. Wu Bao stood in front of the door and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, took a deep breath and pushed the door in.
The room is spacious and simply furnished, with a round walnut table with a few chairs, and a few landscape paintings on the wall, and nothing else.
Sitting in front of the round table, the two of them are familiar to Wu Bao, looking at Si Swenwen holding a book in his hand and watching leisurely is Qi Wenzheng, who is called Mr. Qi, a local wang family in Jingcheng. Another fat man who was eating at the table with chopsticks was Dong Min, the prefect of Jingcheng, and the nephew of Dong Shuying, the assassin of Xiliang and Zhou.
These two people are the real people of Jingcheng, and they can be said to be the existence of the emperor of the soil, and the entire Jingcheng is in the hands of the two of them, from the increase and decrease of taxes to the weddings and funerals of a family. As for Wu Baoda, the other four people, including the big boss, are just people on the stage.
"Wu Bao is here. After saying hello, Mr. Qi put down the book he was reading, and said nothing, waiting for Dong Min to speak.
"Wu Bao, Hong Da is not in a good condition now, and he has been in a coma. There were two assassins, but they couldn't stop them, and one of them was wounded in the left arm by a crossbow shot. It's up to you for the time being, and no matter what method you use, you'll have to find these two people out for me tonight. Mr. Qi had already handed over a quarter of the power of the entire Jingcheng to Wu Bao in a sentence or two.
"Yes. Wu Bao knows the rules, just listen and answer questions in front of these two people.
"It seems very likely that this was done by my own people. Wu Bao, you have to suppress your men tonight no matter what, and don't make trouble until you catch those two assassins. Got it?"
"Understood, Mr. Qi. ”
"It's nothing, let's go. Seeing that Dong Min had already ordered the eviction, Wu Bao was about to turn around and leave.
One person pushed the door in a loud noise and stopped in front of Wu Bao, who was about to leave: "Master Dong, Mr. Qi, if you want me to say that this thing was done by my own people." The big boss has an accident now, you two give me the person to talk to, and my king will deal with it, so you two don't have to worry about it. Tonight I will uproot the dissenting ones. Strike first. ”
"Who called you here. After Mr. Qi asked, he glanced at Dong Min who was sitting beside him, and saw that Dong Min ignored it and was still eating by himself, so he suppressed his anger and didn't say anything more.
"Who is this? Who called this dog? Now it's a big deal, Mr. Qi. What are you doing calling a dog?" Wang Batan kept pointing at Wu Bao's chest, holding his head high at Wu Bao, who was a head taller than him, and splashed Wu Bao's face with saliva.
"Wang Badan's birthday is almost ready, Wu Bao will temporarily be the speaker to arrest the assassin tonight, I warn you not to make trouble. Mr. Qi finally couldn't suppress his anger, and slammed the book in his hand on the table, splashing a cup of tea.
"Master Dong, Mr. Qi, how can Wu Bao and He De be a talker? He is just a pug next to the big boss. Does he serve as a talker, brothers? Why should he? Why should he wag his tail?"
Wang Badan's hands directly pushed Wu Bao in front of him hard, and he chased after him and kept pointing at Wu Bao's head with his fingers. Wu Ye, who was still arrogant and domineering in the "Jinglou" just now, didn't say anything without any resistance, and didn't even return his mouth. Just wiped the saliva that Wang Ba Dan sprayed on his face with his hands.
"Wu Bao can't do it? Can you do it? If you are a talker, everyone will obey you? Wang Badan, don't think we don't know what you think?"
"Mr. Qi, but according to the rules, something happened to the big boss, and it should be the second boss. What do you mean by choosing Wu Bao out? This is obviously out of order. ”
"Rules? In Jingcheng, Master Dong and I are the rules. Wang Badan, your brain is broken, talk to me about the rules. ”
"Mr. Qi, I didn't mean that. Wang Battan put his hands on his waist and spun back and forth in place twice, calming himself down a little. turned around and came to Wu Bao again, "Wu Bao, did you hear it?" Mr. Qi said that now you are in charge, then what do you say? You are in charge, we all listen to you, you say I will do it." You now order to go and cut down the other three bastards, you don't have to do it, I'll take someone with you. I don't need you to do it, how comfortable it is, you give the order quickly. What do you think? Dumbfounded, how are you going to be in charge? Hurry up and give orders. ”
"Grab the Assassin first and ask who instigated it. Wu Bao still ignored Wang Batan, standing in place, coldly looking at Wang Batan who had already put his face on his face
"Wu Bao, is your brain broken, what kind of assassin are you catching, when you catch the assassin, we will all be killed by those three old bastards, now the easiest thing for you to do is to kill the other old bastards first. ”
"That's enough, Wu Bao, go and do something. Dong Min, who had been concentrating on eating, finally put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Wu Bao got Dong Min's instructions not to entangle, pushed away Wang Badan, who was blocking in front of him, and strode out of the door.
"Rub it! Seeing Dong Min speak, Wang Basun could only follow Wu Bao and leave together.
Seeing the two leaving, Mr. Qi picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and found that the tea in the cup was a little cold. casually picked up the teapot on the table and refilled a cup of hot tea for Dong Min, who was sitting next to him.
"Lord Dong, what do you think? Hong Sheng's matter is indeed the most suspicious of the other three at present, but this point in time is a little too strange. Could it be the King of Shu's side?"
Dong Min didn't answer, and used his hand to hold the teacup that had just been filled with hot tea, but he kept turning the cup and didn't mean to drink it at all. "Send a message to the other three masters, no one should move tonight, and they are all optimistic about their own people. If anyone dares to move, the consequences will be dealt with by themselves. ”
"Yes. An old man dressed in green clothes and bearded faces replied in a very hoarse voice and quietly left. This old man in Tsing Yi had been standing behind Dong Min just now, but neither Wu Bao nor Wang Batan noticed his existence. In other words, this old man deliberately lowered his sense of existence, so that he was afraid that even if he stood in front of him, he would intentionally or unintentionally ignore the fact that there was a person standing in front of him.
"Somebody swaggered into town with that sign. After Dong Min gave the order to the old man in Tsing Yi, he did not continue the topic of Hong Sheng's attack tonight, but turned to a sign.
"I also received the news that the person with the sign is with Wu Bao at the moment. ”
"Send Ah Nan to assist Wu Bao in catching the assassin together, keeping an eye on the person with the sign. ”
"It's fine. ”
