Chapter 18: The Wine Bureau

Time flies, and before you know it, the street lights in the community are gradually turning on.

Pang Xie looked up, the sunset outside the window was slanting, the jade rabbit was rising in the east, the dark clouds were rolling, the time was not early, he lowered his head and counted a few sealed fresh-keeping bags, almost the amount of more than a week had been prepared, so he packed up the medicinal herbs he used, and planned to leave after the pot of medicinal soup was fried.

With a "click", the door lock turned, and the door of Li Tianhua's house opened from the outside.

"Brother, I'm back!" came the laughter of a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Crescent moon, why did you come back so early?Did the cram school end early today?" this was Li Tianhua's voice.

"Uncle went to pick me up and send me back. ”

"Uncle, you're here, come in and sit!"

"Tianhua, it's okay, you're busy with you, I don't have anything to do today, I want to go over and go to the cram school to pick up the crescent moon by the way, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I'm getting ready to do it. ”

"Why is it so medical?"

"It just so happened that a friend came over to help make medicine, and I introduced you to each other. ”

With Li Tianhua's voice, the kitchen door opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man with a calm temperament followed Li Tianhua and walked in together.

The man was about forty years old, his hair was neatly combed, an angular navy blue striped shirt, a pair of slim-fitting gray trousers, gold wire glasses, a mechanical watch, a clear voice, a powerful step, and a long-standing appearance.

"This is my uncle Wu Zhongjun, uncle, this is Pang Xie, my friend, come over today to help me decoct the medicine. Li Tianhua explained, but he didn't elaborate on the medical treatment, and didn't seem to want to tell Wu Zhongjun too much.

"Hello Mr. Pang. Wu Zhongjun took the initiative to reach out.

"Hello. ”

The two shook hands, Wu Zhongjun looked at the medicinal herbs piled up in the kitchen, seemed to be a little curious about Pang Xie, and kept looking at him, but he couldn't help but didn't ask anything.

"Tianhua, it's not too early, after this pot of medicinal soup is fried, it's almost time for me to leave, the medicinal soup for next week is ready, you just need to take it on time." Pang Xie turned his head to Li Tianhua and said.

"Let's have dinner and then go. ”

"I live a bit far from the city, it's not easy to take a car, if you go back late, there will be no car. ”

"Okay. ”

"Where is Mr. Pang going? I'll send him off. Wu Zhongjun suddenly interjected.

"No, I'll just go by myself. Ponsei shook his head.

"You're welcome, I'm usually busy with work and can't take care of Tianhua, you come to help Tianhua, you are doing me a favor, don't shirk this little thing." Wu Zhongjun insisted.

"Uncle, you and the crescent moon will rest first, and I'll drive him. Li Tianhua interjected.

"You're not in good health, it's better to rest, I'll send Xiaopang. Wu Zhongjun said insistently.

"Okay. Li Tianhua said with a wry smile.

After chatting a few words, Wu Zhongjun and Li Tianhua returned to the living room first, and Pang Xie continued to stay in the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, Pang Xie packed the last medicinal soup, brought the medicinal herbs that tonified the essence, and walked out of the kitchen.

"Brother Pang is good!"

In the living room, in addition to Wu Zhongjun and Li Tianhua, there was also a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, with a fair complexion, a delicate face, a ponytail on the back of her head, and a green dress, which showed more youthful vitality.

"Good. Pang Xie nodded with a smile.

"This is my sister Li Yueya. Li Tianhua pointed to the little girl and said, his eyes were full of tenderness.

......

Wu Zhongjun sat in the driver's seat, lightly tapped on the fingerprint reader, "Woo..." The car ignited automatically, the engine made a low roar, turned his head to look at Pang Xie in the passenger seat, and asked, "Mr. Pang, where are we going?"

"Donghai Airlines Chang'an Branch. ”

Pang Xie stretched his legs, and the car was very spacious, much more spacious than Zhang Fatzi's car.

"Where does Mr. Pang work?"

"Hmm. ”

Wu Zhongjun nodded, but didn't say anything more.

The two were silent all the way, Wu Zhongjun didn't talk much, and Pang Xie didn't like to say much, so they were silent, only the melodious music coming from the radio in the car.

More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Chang'an branch of Donghai Airlines, Pang Xie nodded in thanks, turned around and got out of the car with medicinal herbs.

Wu Zhongjun sat in the car, did not leave in a hurry, looked at Pang Xie's back, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and let out a long breath, until Pang Xie disappeared into the dormitory building, he snuffed out the cigarette, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, you can contact Mr. Gao of Donghai Airlines. ”

"It's not a big deal, you ask them if there is a person named Pang Xie in the Chang'an branch, what exactly does he do, and how is his conduct, this person is about twenty years old, male, and quite tall. ”

"Oh, okay, send me an email when the information is ready. ”

After speaking, Wu Zhongjun hung up the phone, started the car again, and disappeared into the vast night.

......

"Hello, is this Mr. Pang from No. 532?"

Pang Xie walked into the lobby of the hotel, and was about to go upstairs to rest, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and looked back, it was the front desk who spoke.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"An hour ago, a gentleman left you a message, saying that when you come back, you will go to the Sichuan Xingke Hotel in the west of the company, and a friend is waiting for you. ”

Chuanxingke is a hotel, although the faΓ§ade is not big, the grade is very high, the taste is also good, and the company's senior executives often go there to entertain guests.

"Did you leave a name?"

"The gentleman said his surname was Lu. ”

"Lu..."

Pang Xie only knew one person surnamed Lu, who was Lu Qingcheng, and immediately nodded and said, "I know." ”

After that, he turned around and was about to go upstairs, Lu Qingcheng would not have a big deal looking for him, it was nothing more than eating and drinking, it was just a matter of returning in the past, the tonic soup that was just fried today was about to go back to try the effect, and he really didn't have time to go over.

"Mr. Pang, aren't you going to go?"

"What?" Pang Xie asked back, it stands to reason that the front desk only needs to bring the words, and it won't be so much.

"Mr. Lu said on the phone, see you or leave, he will always be there waiting for you, please be sure to go. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll put my things down and go. Pang Xie frowned slightly, Lu Qingcheng is an old Jianghu, and he speaks very measuredly, if he can say this, there must be something.

......

Twenty minutes later, Pang Xie put down the medicinal herbs and came to the door of the Sichuan Xingke Hotel empty-handed, and before he could push the door, the long-haired foreman in a plain dress had already opened the glass door diligently and asked, "How many gentlemen?"

"I'm looking for someone, surnamed Lu. ”

"Oh, okay, please go this way, Qingyang Palace on the second floor. The foreman looked down at the register and looked up at him.

Qingyang Palace is the name of the private room, and all the private rooms in this hotel are named after the famous places in Shuzhou.

Pang Xie nodded, went upstairs in the direction pointed by the foreman, pushed open the door, everything in the private room came into view, there was only one table in the huge room, the table was full of wine and food, two people, one of them was Lu Qingcheng, and the other was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with an extremely strong figure.

There were two wine bottles in front of these two people, both of which were full of Shuzhong famous wine Wuliangye, and only half a bottle was left.

The dishes on the table didn't move much, whether cold or hot, more than ten dishes, and they were all full, only a plate of pepper preserved eggs was a little missing, and a plate of vinegar-soaked peanuts seemed to have been moved.

Seeing Pang Xie enter the door, Lu Qingcheng seemed to see a savior, stood up with a strong spirit, pointed to the middle-aged man beside him, with a mouthful of wine, and said, "Pang... Thanks, you're... Come... Come... Here, this is Zhao Huxing, the Minister of Security, who said that he wanted to know you, and he insisted that I would invite you here..."

Pang Xie was stunned, who is this Zhao Huxing, why do you have to know him?

Before Pang Xie could figure out what was going on, Zhao Huxing had already slowly stood up, his left hand against Lu Qingcheng's back and slid up half a foot, just to the position of the big vertebral acupoint, and patted it gently, Lu Qingcheng's body was shocked, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and then he lay down softly.

Before he could fall, Zhao Huxing swiped down with his left hand, passed through his armpits, lifted him up, took two steps backwards, put it on the sofa next to him, and let him fall asleep.

Pang Xie saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be vigilant, Zhao Huxing's shot just now seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, it was perfect, if it was one more light, Lu Qingcheng might not be stunned, if it was one more point, Lu Qingcheng's qi and blood were frustrated, and he would inevitably have a headache for a few days after waking up, that is, such a light and heavy palm, Lu Qingcheng would wake up tomorrow, and he would only think that he was drunk yesterday, and he would not have any other thoughts.

After putting down Lu Qingcheng, Zhao Huxing turned around, poured a glass of wine steadily, and said: "Mr. Pang is a guest from afar, forgive Zhao for not being considerate, do it first as a respect!"

After that, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, and said, "Please sit down!"

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?" Ponche nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat across from him.

"Zhao Moujie Wufu, there is no ambition in his life, he is just a mixed bowl of rice, but since he is in the position of the head of the company's security department, he has to take responsibility for the safety of the company, Mr. Pang has a stunt but hides it, deigns to be a small cook in the restaurant, I don't know what the purpose is, please make it clear to face, as long as it is harmless to the company, as long as Zhao can do it, he will naturally help, even if Zhao can't do it, he will go all out. Although Zhao Huxing looked rude on the outside, he spoke very methodically.

"Minister Zhao is joking, I don't have any stunts. Ponsie shook his head in denial.

"That's not interesting!" Zhao Huxing was displeased, reached out and poured a glass of wine, held the wine glass with both hands, walked over to Pang Xie, and said: "Since Mr. Pang doesn't want to say more, please drink this glass of wine, as long as you drink this glass of wine, we are friends, I just be..."

Minister Zhao was polite. Pang Xie reached out to take it, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhao Huxing's gourd, but he didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, just when Zhao Huxing was holding the cup in both hands, and the mouth of the cup was less than two feet away from Pang Xie, he suddenly took a big step forward, his arms turned forward, and he twisted forward clockwise, and the wine in the cup spun violently, and the wine in the cup shot out, like an arrow from the string, shooting towards Pang Xie's face.
