The emperor lived up to his hard work, and the golden cicada was looking for Xicheng Tang Lao Jiu for a day, and he finally became famous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Baoquan Teahouse is not the most luxurious teahouse on Qianmen Street, but it can be called the largest teahouse, the second floor is a long slippery box, the charge is expensive, the ordinary people can't afford to spend this unjust money, they will not go; the first floor is a hall, the charge is cheap, in addition to the shop that sells tea and snacks, there is a stage in the middle of the hall, the artist talks about the big drum book during the day, and changes to sing Peking Opera at night.

There are dozens of tea tables in the hall, from morning to midnight, there are a lot of guests who come to drink tea, bustling, people are boiling, people are all kinds of people, they like to go to the hall to have a lively time, listen to the play and drink tea.

Baoquan Teahouse is a place where Jin Chanzi often goes, and the most important thing for him to go there is not only to drink tea and listen to operas, but also to go to the Ling Market.

Pick a seat against the wall, make a pot of jasmine tea, and wear a hat with a low brim, as if you are napping, as if you are listening to a play, in fact, you are listening to the guests of the neighboring tea house.

Listening to the tea guest chat, it's really interesting, there are local dialects, south and north tones, some can understand, some don't understand, some talk about the world's people's hearts, the rivers and lakes, there are also talk about corrupt officials bending the law, people's livelihood is difficult, laughing and scolding, vivid and interesting, Jin Cicada You lives alone for a day, can't say a few words a day, but likes to listen to others, if you don't often listen to others, maybe, one day you won't even be able to speak. What's more, in the chatter of the people in the market, you may be able to get a little news about Tang Laojiu, I heard that Tang Laojiu in Xicheng is also good at teahouse.

Jin Chanzi's tea house for one day is reserved, and the one who booked a seat for him is the shopkeeper of Baoquan Teahouse, a little white-faced pillar.

In the eyes of the pillar, Jin Chanzi is a person who can't guess, it is said that the capital is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, some millionaires are very stingy, self-respecting and thrifty, poorly dressed, and never spend money indiscriminately. Therefore, as long as Jin Chanzi comes to the teahouse to drink tea, the pillar will be careful and attentive, and the pillar will ask him what he is called, and the little old man will only say: "My surname is Jin." The pillar called him "Jin Ye", the little old man nodded unreasonably, as long as the golden cicada came to drink tea, he would naturally stuff a few extra copper plates to the pillar, as a reward, one came and went, the two were familiar, the golden cicada entrusted the pillar to help him inquire about Tang Laojiu in Xicheng, and promised that if the source was accurate, he found Tang Laojiu, and he would reward the pillar with fifty taels of silver.

The year before last, Zhu Zi really saw Xicheng Tang Laojiu in the Baoquan Teahouse, it was an old man in his fifties, medium to thin stature, a little hunched back, his face was black and red, a pair of squinted eyes, holding a brass cigarette stick in his hand, he took two puffs from time to time, as soon as he got closer, he smelled the smell of smoke all over his body, the legendary mysterious informant in the capital was a bad old man, and he really didn't look good, but since that time, more than a year has passed, and Tang Laojiu has never been to the teahouse again.

I heard that Xicheng Tang Laojiu's whereabouts are secretive, and it is not easy to find him.

One day, he was waiting in the upstairs box, and saw that the door of the Qingsong Pavilion box was not closed tightly, leaving a thin slit, so he went up to close the door, walked to the door, and heard the two guests in the pavilion whispering, A said: "I want to see Xicheng Tang Laojiu." ”

Hearing the words "Tang Laojiu", Zhuzi's heart moved, so he stopped by the door and listened carefully.

B asked, "What's the matter?"

A said: "It's a case." ”

B said: "If it's not a case where human life is at stake, don't look for Lao Jiu." ”

A said: "It's a big case, a homicide case." ”

B said: "Okay, three days later, come to my house and listen to the echo." ”

A asked, "Three days later?!"

B said: "That's fast, Lao Jiu is busy and has no time." ”

A said: "Okay, three days is three days, where do you live?"

B said: "No. 33, Xizhimen Deng'er Hutong." ”

In other words, the person who lives at No. 33 Deng'er Hutong knows where Tang Laojiu in Xicheng is. The pillar was so happy that he almost jumped up, turned around and quietly left the Qingsong Pavilion, and told You Yitian the news he had heard.

The next day, Jin Chanziyou went to Deng'er Hutong in one day, and rented a courtyard house diagonally opposite No. 33, made a small hole in the house next to the alley, and used a telescope to spy on the movement of the No. 33 gate.

The gate of No. 33, there is almost no movement at ordinary times, living in the courtyard is a middle-aged man with a long beard, every day, only he goes in and out a few times, few people come and go, occasionally there are contacts, they are also some strong men, never see women and children in and out, obviously, this is not an ordinary house, more like a den of Tang Laojiu in Xicheng.

Don't alarm Tang Laojiu, if he is frightened, you will never be able to find it again, I heard that he has 9981 dens in the city of Beijing, he has to sink down, and he will not surface until the Year of the Monkey.

There are many dens and many enemies, Tang Laojiu understands that there are so many people who want his life that he can't even make trouble himself, mixing in the rivers and lakes, saving his life first, and making money second.

Zhuzi described to him in detail the appearance of Tang Laojiu in Xicheng, and Jin Chanzi must meet this old man for a while before making a decision.

At night, the golden cicada swept into the courtyard of No. 33 one day to spy on the movement, and found that there was a huge courtyard, and indeed only lived a middle-aged man with a slight fat and beard, the courtyard was cleaned neatly, and there was a big locust tree at the root of the east wall.

One evening, a donkey cart stopped in front of Gate No. 33, the door opened, and a little old man came out, with a medium-thin build, a black and red face, a slight hunchback, squinting eyes, and holding a ruler-long brass cigarette stick.

Tang Laojiu knocked on the door and went in, and the one who drove the car was a big man, after observing the movements around him, he saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he drove the car and left.

It seems that it is also Tang Laojiu's people who are driving the car, and Jin Chanzi You secretly sighed one day, Tang Laojiu in Xicheng is also very tired, and even more tired than Lao Tzu.

It was dark, and the golden cicada You was dressed in a black night coat, with a sword on his back, and swept into Tang Laojiu's den.

The light was on in the window of the north room, and he sneaked under the window to eavesdrop on the movement in the house, and heard the two people in the room drinking and chatting, whispering earnestly, but the content of the conversation was not clear.

Then he came to the door of the north house, pushed it slightly, the door bolt was inserted, and he couldn't push it open, so he took out a dagger from his arms, opened the door bolt, pushed the door, flashed in, and said: "Xicheng Tang Laojiu, brother, I have so hard to find you." ”

The candlelight on the table of the Eight Immortals was stirred by the cold wind, swaying, there were cups of wine and food on the table, Tang Laojiu and the bearded man sitting at the table were drinking, seeing this, his face changed abruptly, he threw the chopsticks, and swept them to both sides, Tang Laojiu held the cigarette stick in his hand, protecting his chest, it seems that the cigarette stick can not only be used for smoking, but also for self-defense, it is a short weapon similar to the judge's pen;

Standing in front of Tang Laojiu was a dark and thin little old man, similar in age to himself, dressed in night clothes, this person had never known each other, and he didn't know where he came from.

Tang Laojiu said angrily: "Whoever comes, report tens of thousands of children." ”

Jin Chanzi closed the door, waved his hand, and said: "I am called Jin Chanzi, I am a nobody, I visit Tang Ye at night, and I am so sudden, it is really helpless, I hope Tang Ye will bear with me." ”

Tang Laojiu said: "You take off the sword on your back and slowly put it on the ground, let's talk." ”

Jin Chanzi did as Tang Laojiu said.

Tang Laojiu said: "Kick the sword to Lao Tzu." ”

The golden cicada did as instructed, kicked it over, and the bearded man picked up the sword and threw it in the corner.

Tang Laojiu asked, "Are you here to buy intelligence?"

Jin Chanzi said: "No." ”

Tang Laojiu asked again: "Are you here to sell intelligence?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Yes." ”

Tang Laojiu asked again: "What kind of information, and how much is the price?" However, it is difficult to say whether Lao Tzu wants it or not. ”

Jin Chanzi frowned, his face was already wrinkled, and at this time, the two forehead lines on his forehead were distorted like earthworms, making his face look like a weathered walnut after autumn, and he said coldly: "It seems that Tang Ye really can't do it." ”

"Scared, do you want to sell it?!Tell you, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set, the more you force it to sell, the more Lao Tzu doesn't buy it, no matter how good the information is, it depends on what you do with Lao Tzu!"

"With this information, Tang Ye will definitely gain fame and fortune. ”

"Don't talk about fame and fortune, it's fame and fortune, and I don't want it, Lao Tzu is born with this bull temper. ”

"You don't have to pay the silver, brother, I'll pay the silver, Tang Ye. The golden cicada continued to induce.

Tang Laojiu was confused, and said: "Hey, hey, boy, is Lao Tzu confused, or are you kid nervous? If you sell intelligence, you still have to pay? Do you buy it or sell it? Boy, you will lose a lot of money in this business." Haha, fresh, really fresh, there are new things every year, and there are a lot of them this year, coincidentally, I ran into them, haha. ”

Seeing that the golden cicada had no weapons, the bearded man was a lot bolder, carrying a single knife, pressing towards the golden cicada step by step, the golden cicada seemed to have not seen it, and did not back down, and said: "To be exact, I am here to send information, and I will not say a penny, and I will pay another hard fee to Tang Ye, which is insignificant. ”

As he spoke, he took out a golden gold necklace from his arms, weighing three or two, and threw it to Tang Laojiu.

Tang Laojiu took it in his hand, weighed the weight, and bit it in his mouth, it was pure gold, that's right, it's really good, what is the number of people who came?

Tang Laojiu smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Taking advantage of Tang Laojiu's speech, the beard was close to the golden cicada, the knife in his hand suddenly launched, as fast as the wind, and cut at the waist of the golden cicada, the golden cicada snorted coldly, grabbed a step, and cut off the wrist of the beard, the beard "Ahh Don't move, move, and if you push your foot down, your neck will break. ”

The beard lay on the ground, knowing that it was powerful, and did not dare to move.

Tang Laojiu was anxious and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, why bother hurting your peace." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "I don't dare to be rough in front of Tang Ye, it's just that this brother is too faceless, and if he doesn't let Zai finish his words, he will be killed, and he will do too much." ”

Tang Laojiu said: "Brother, if you have something to say, come, sit down and sit down, let's talk while eating." ”

Jin Chanzi's eyes widened, and he was furious, and said, "Master Tang, if you insist on not accepting the information below, this brother at your feet will die." ”

Tang Laojiu asked: "What's next, is it Lao Tzu's turn next?"

Jin Chanzi sneered: "Don't force me, and then, maybe I'll be sorry for Tang Ye." ”

Tang Laojiu has read countless people, this unknown person in front of him is a dangerous person, not only his eyes are full of murderous energy, but even his whole body is wrapped in Sen Sen's murderous energy, his hands are thick and strong, he has clenched his fists, and the back of his hand is covered with green tendons that are like earthworms, full of wildness and strength.

Xicheng Tang Laojiu is an informant, he is an informant who makes a living by selling intelligence, and the creed he adheres to is: save your life first, make money second.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed: "Alas, in this case, for the sake of the seventh brother's life, I will accept your information." ”

This is also Tang Laojiu found a step for himself to step down, since his martial arts are not good, it is better not to do it, or not to do it.

Jin Cicada's feet moved away from the neck of the bearded man, bent down and stretched out his hand, lifted him up, as light as lifting a child, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals in a few steps, sat down with a big thorn, picked up the leftover wine glass, and said, "Jian Nanchun, good wine." ”

The beard picked up the knife, the golden cicada didn't even look at him, Tang Laojiu saw it in his eyes, and thought secretly, the person who came has good martial arts, it seems that he has no ill will towards himself, if he really wants to have bad intentions, today, it seems that there is more than luck.

Tang Laojiu also sat down and said, "Jin, Jin, what's the matter with Jin? I made a mess just now, and I forgot your name." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "It's called Jin Chanzi." ”

Tang Laojiu asked, "Brother Jin, do you really have information to sell to me?"

Just now, he called himself "Lao Tzu", but now he has become "me", and he doesn't dare to be arrogant.

"Yes. ”

"It can't be spam, right?"

"That's not intelligence, it's garbage. ”

"Haha, yes, that's right, come, let me introduce it," he pointed to the beard standing behind him, rubbing his wrists, and said: "This is my seventh brother, called Yuan Jinsuo, don't fight and don't know each other, come, Jinsuo, you also sit down, accompany Brother Jin to have a few drinks, they are all their own brothers, the misunderstanding just now, no one should take it to heart." ”

Yuan Jinsuo went to the cabinet and took out a cup of chopsticks, picked up the wine jug, poured wine for everyone, raised a glass to the golden cicada and said: "Brother Jin, little brother toasts you a glass, I offended a lot just now, look at Brother Jin Haihan." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "It's easy to say, you are also surnamed Jin, and I am also surnamed Jin, five hundred years ago they were one family, and they were each other." ”

The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

Xicheng Tang Laojiu asked, "Brother, what information do you have?"

Jin Chanzi glanced at Yuan Jinsuo and said to Tang Laojiu: "I just want to talk about this business with Tang Ye alone." ”

Yuan Jinsuo got up to leave, but Tang Laojiu grabbed him and said, "The seventh brother is the person I trust the most, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jin Chanzi said: "Since Tang Ye said so, then he is too worried. ”

Tang Laojiu said: "Brother, let's get straight to the point and talk about the information." ”

Jin Chanzi paused word by word and said: "It's information about Prince Yi buying a murderer and killing eleven members of the former Liu Shangshu family." ”

Xicheng Tang Laojiu was shocked: "Yes, what about the evidence witnesses?"

Jin Chanzi said: "There are witnesses below, and the evidence is naturally there." ”

"You?"

"Yes. Jin Chanzi said: "A while ago, I heard that the Criminal Department thoroughly investigated the huge accounts in and out of Huitong Qianzhuang Wanli Wuxu throughout the country, which is a powerful trick, but unfortunately, the time is wrong, and the accounts of Wanli Wuxu should be checked the year before Wanli Wuxu. ”

Xicheng Tang Laojiu asked, "How do you know?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Because, I was the manager of the year, from dispatching the silver ticket, signing the assassination contract to finally paying the final payment, it was all in the next hand." ”

Xicheng Tang Laojiu and Yuan Jinsuo looked at each other in shock, Tang Laojiu asked: "The year before Wuxu, it should be ?......"

You Tiantian said: "Wanli Ding Younian." ”

"Really?"

Yuan Jinsuo asked: "Brother Jin has been to the Baolin calligraphy and painting shop of Liulichang?"

Jin Chanzi said: "I've been there, what's wrong?"

Yuan Jin looked at Jin Cicada's face fixedly, and said, "Why haven't I seen you?"

Jin Chanzi was surprised and said, "Who are you? How could you have seen me!"

Yuan Jinsuo said: "Do you remember, back then, there were two small shopkeepers in the Baolin calligraphy and painting shop?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"I'm one of them. ”

Jin Cicada suddenly said, "Yes." I've been there eight times, the first time through the front door, the other seven times through the back door, besides, it's been a long time, and I'm not a celebrity, of course you can't remember. ”

Yuan Jinsuo nodded silently and said, "This is reasonable. ”

Jin Chanzi said to Tang Laojiu: "Master Tang, the information below is a little hot." ”

Tang Laojiu said: "It's not just hot, it's hot." What are you giving me this information for? I want to get rich! Haha, by the way, people die for money, birds die for food, I can't do it for nothing, I want a piece of the pie. ”

Xicheng Tang Laojiu is an informant, he is neither an informant of the first class, nor an informant in the six doors of the government, the information in his hands is used to do business, and the businessman is for profit, whether you are white or white, whether it is white or black, whoever pays a high price will sell the information to whom, he thinks that there is no difference between people in nature, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

Tang Laojiu raised his neck and drank the glass of wine, looked up to the sky and laughed, this information is enough, and it will definitely be sold for a good price.

Jin Chanzi's face turned pale, Tang Laojiu didn't notice it, Yuan Jinsuo found out, pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "Boss, something is wrong." ”

Jin Chanzi asked, "Who do you want to sell the information to?"

Tang Laojiu got carried away and said: "Whoever gives more money will sell it to whomever he wants." ”

Jin Chanzi said coldly: "Of course, Prince Yi has a lot of money, sell it to him, right?"

Yuan Jinsuo tugged at Tang Laojiu's sleeve again, Tang Laojiu realized that Jin Cicada's face turned blue, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Brother, well, who are you selling it to?" Of course, you have the final say, how to open the account, of course, it is also up to you, don't worry, um, right?"

Jin Chanzi flipped his hand, and there was an extra dagger in his hand, and he raised his hand, horn, and the dagger was inserted on the table, and said: "Money, don't want it in the next child, you can only sell the information to one person." ”

"Someone, who?"

"Third Brother Liu. ”

"Third Brother Liu?!He knows that you are the person in charge of the Prince's Mansion and will kill you, brother. ”

Jin Chanzi said: "This has nothing to do with you, you don't care, I am willing, I should! Remember, sell it to Third Brother Liu." I want revenge, not money. ”

Tang Laojiu asked, "Why?"

Jin Chanzi said hatefully: " During the Wanli Ding You period, in accordance with the instructions of the old housekeeper of the prince's mansion, he handled specific matters related to buying murder for Prince Yi in secret, before and after two years, unexpectedly, after the fact, Prince Yi burned the next family of four alive in order to extinguish the mouth, no, even the seven-month fetus was counted together, it was five, he thought that he died in the next, in fact, my life was hard, I didn't die, I survived, I lived in the next, there was only one purpose, that is, to take revenge, that is, to watch Prince Yi and the old housekeeper, die under the enemy's knife. Tang Ye, if you don't do what you say, don't blame you for turning your face and not recognizing people, if you play tricks and change your mind halfway, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will definitely take your life. ”

Looking at the cold and wild gaze of the golden cicada, Tang Laojiu couldn't help but shudder, and said, "If that's the case, then, then sell it to Third Brother Liu." ”

Yuan Jinsuo sighed and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Jin and I are both victims in this case." After the completion of the palace road, before leaving Beijing, the Baolin calligraphy and painting shop was cleared, the original plan was to kill me and another shop guy Doudou, that afternoon, Doudou's cousin came to the store to play, I had diarrhea, went to the back door toilet to relieve my hands, the killer was a strange man, after entering the store Doudou and my cousin killed, thinking that I had finished the work, and left the store, I escaped a catastrophe. Brother Jin, your revenge is the revenge of the younger brother, Doudou is my little brother, this revenge will not be avenged, and the younger brother will do his best to find Brother Liu for Brother Jin. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Jinsuo burst into tears.

Jin Chanzi got up, grabbed Yuan Jinsuo's hand, and said, "Good brother, thank you." ”

Tang Laojiu said: "Life is really difficult to say, for a while, the sword is tense, the momentum is like fire and water, and for a while, it shakes hands and talks happily, like a brother." Now, it seems like I'm an outsider. ”

Jin Chanzi said: "No, Tang Ye is the protagonist, without Tang Ye, this play will not be easy to sing." However, to be quick, to find Third Brother Liu as soon as possible, I have waited for twenty-five years, and I can't wait. ”

Tang Laojiu said: "Brother, now you should rest assured, the seventh brother and you have the same hatred, even if this business does not make a profit, I will help with this favor." Now, Liu Sange is looking for the bad luck of the Seven Killers in Changbai Mountain, and he will probably return to Beijing soon, so I should mobilize all my brothers and try to get in touch with Liu Sange, believe me, as long as Liu Sange's feet step into Beijing City, I will be able to find him in less than three days. ”

Jin Chanzi said, "Okay, please, Master Tang." ”

Tang Laojiu said: "Okay, then you can talk about the evidence, the more detailed the better." ”

Jin Chanzi leaned back in his chair, his eyes sank into the distant past, and talked about those unsightly underground deeds during the Wanli Ding You period......

The moon is white and the wind is quiet, the back garden wing of the Qiao family's compound, the iron-faced god Qiao Wanquan and Shaoxing Master Yu are drinking.

Under Qiao Wanquan's eyebrows, his eyes looked very helpless, and he said, "Master, I have an intuition that the person who buys the murder willow is Prince Yi." ”

Yu said: "It's hard to have no evidence, right?"

Qiao Wanquan said: "No, there will be, the people under my command are not vegetarians." ”

Yu said: "Then you can sit back and relax. ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "No, this case is handled by me, it's not appropriate, everyone knows that more than ten years ago, it was Prince Yi who brought me." In my heart, these are two different things, his recommendation is one thing, and I am grateful, and it is another thing to buy a murderer and commit a crime, and if he really did it, I still can't let him go. ”

Yu Wenwen knew it and said, "You're afraid of others talking, right?"

Qiao Wanquan touched the eagle's nose and sighed: "Yes, I can't solve the case, some people will say that it was my Qiao Wanquan who made the hands and feet to shield the old fox Prince Yi; It's really hard to be a man, it's hard to be a man, please give me a good plan. ”

Yu said: "Thirty-six plans are the best. ”

"Where are you going?"

Yu said: "There are all kinds of ways to walk, pretend to be sick, and if you fall ill, you will be out of touch with the case, which is also called "walking". Pretending to be sick is the best medicine for officialdom to deal with crises, bruises, and curing all diseases. You can recommend a person to be in charge of the case temporarily, and say that it is temporary, but in fact, this person becomes the person in charge of the case. Be careful, never ask about the case again, and refuse to hear about the progress of the case, so that you can really leave it alone. As soon as this case is solved, after a few months, I will say that I am cured and come out again, so as not to be discussed by the little people. ”

Qiao Wanquan rubbed the back of his hand under his nose and said with a smile: "It's a way." Sir, as far as you can see, who is in charge of this case?"

Yu said: "Owl Hu Dafa. ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "Yes, it is still Dafa to work calmly and calmly, and he is worthy of this responsibility." ”

The next day, Qiao Wanquan really fell ill, saying that because of the hard work for several days, the acute attack of chronic rheumatism, the high fever did not go away, and he was bedridden, so he took leave from the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and strongly recommended the owl Hu Dafa to temporarily take charge of the daily affairs of the Capture Kuai General Hall, of course, including the investigation of the murder of Liu.

The hero was only afraid of being sick, and the secretary of the criminal department was helpless, so he had to nod, and Hu Dafa took office.

On the first day of taking office, Hu Dafa went to visit Qiao Wanquan, only to see Qiao Wanquan lying on the sickbed, with a cool towel on his head, and his face was burned red.

Qiao Wanquan sighed weakly: "There is still a month before the date of solving the murder of Liu, I am in a hurry, I can't afford to be sick, at the critical moment, I fell, it is really not the right time to fall, the hero is only afraid of illness, and the general will inevitably die in battle, Dafa, I have wronged you." ”

Hu Dafa said: "Where to say, as soon as there is news, I will report to the boss in the next meeting." ”

Qiao Wanquan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, you do yours, I was killed by this case, as soon as I heard about this case, my head hurt, and I will have a high fever at night, if you don't want me to die, anything about this case, don't mention a word in front of me, with your ability, I know that it is not a problem at all to crack the case of buying and killing Liu within a month, so I strongly recommended you in front of the criminal department Shangshu." In short, the credit for cracking this case is yours, and if you can't solve this case, I will pick the responsibility. Dafa, do it boldly, do things according to the emperor's law, what to do, what to do, you do things, I can rest assured. Don't remember to mention a word about this case in front of me, I'm like Sun Wukong wearing a tight hoop, mentioning this case, it's like Tang Seng reciting a hoop mantra, mention it once, my head hurts once, mention it twice, my fever will be sent twice, if you want to mention it again, my life will hurt and burn, and it will burn away. ”

Hu Dafa said: "Is there really such a strange thing?"

Qiao Wanquan said: "What are you lying to, there really is." Don't say you think it's weird, even I think it's weird. ”

Hu Dafa said: "That's evil." Do you want to invite a Taoist priest from Maoshan to do the practice?"

Qiao Wanquan said: "No need, Lang Zhong said, this is called nerve endings conditioned reflex, as long as you can't hear this case, your head won't hurt, your fever won't hurt, you will be comfortable, you can eat, you can pull out the, you can sleep, there is nothing to do, maybe it won't take long, and the illness will be cured." Also, what's my nickname?"

Hu Dafa said: "Iron-faced God Hunt." ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "God may not be arrested, the iron mask is barely worth it, just to avoid suspicion, I should also avoid this case, remember, I will do what I should do, I will never come in and get involved." ”

Hu Dafa said: "Since the boss said this, okay, then I'll give you a few days." ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "However, if I get information about the murder of Liu, I will send a housekeeper to tell you for your reference, don't remember, I can give you information, you can't give me information, this seems to be a bit unequal, there is really no way, don't remember." ”

Hu Dafa muttered: "This disease is really weird, boss, brother remember." ”

Before leaving, Qiao Wanquan also advised: "Remember, remember, please, please." ”

Hu Dafa was suspicious, and said in his heart: Is there really such a strange disease? I haven't heard of it, and I want to get rid of the suspicion between him and Prince Yi, so it's a truth.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this is not false at all, Xicheng Tang Laojiu's reputation is big, and there are more people looking for him.

Nowadays, Shaoxing Master Yu Wenwen is disguised as an old gentleman with gray hair, and he also loves to soak in a teahouse, drinking tea is fake, and inquiring about the whereabouts of the informant Xicheng Tang Laojiu is true, and the teahouse he often goes to is the Baoquan Teahouse on Qianmen Street,

For Yu Wenwen, the most unacceptable thing is to buy the murder of Liu case, this case is not solved, and he can't leave Beijing, this is what he promised the iron-faced god to arrest Qiao Wanquan.

He has to get things done quickly, so that he can escape from Beijing, the flying thief Ding Piaopeng in order to avenge his lover Xiao Tao, maybe when he will appear in front of him, from now on, he will be incognito, go away, I knew this, I shouldn't have taken care of this matter at that time.

I heard that Tang Laojiu in Xicheng is the old land of Beijing, well-informed, and the sense of collecting intelligence is everywhere, if you find him, maybe it can help you buy the murder Liu case.

But Tang Laojiu is very ghostly, it is difficult to find, and even the arrest in the capital is scratching his head.

Yu Wenwen understands that money can make ghosts grind, he can't find Tang Laojiu if he doesn't believe it, anyway, the money spent can be reimbursed to Qiao Wanquan, and he doesn't have to spend his own money, so let's try it and see,

The pillar of the teahouse came to fill his cup with water, and Yu Wen asked, "Young man, I will inquire about someone." ”

The pillar said, "Sir, just say, as long as I know." ”

"Informant Xicheng Tang Laojiu. ”

The pillar laughed, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to find." ”

Yu Wenqi said: "What are you laughing at? I only asked you if it was difficult to find, and I didn't let you find it in vain." ”

Zhu Zi looked at Yu Wenwen's washed blue cloth robe, wearing a blue cloth cotton hat on his head, and a black wool scarf with a few cavities around his neck, and he was also a shabby little old man, and thought: Could it be a rich man again? I don't know how much he can pay for running errands, so he said casually: "If you find Tang Laojiu, how much hard work will Mr. give?"

Yu said, "How much do you want?"

The pillar simply opened his mouth, making it difficult for him, and said, "One hundred taels of silver." ”

I think I have to bargain, and I can make a fifty-two discount in half, and I can earn a vote again.

Unexpectedly, this old gentleman was very cheerful and said, "Deal." ”

The pillars and intestines are all repentant, just now, I want to quote two hundred taels, I think this business can be done, and I want to change my words, but I can't change it.

Yu Wenwen took out an ingot of five taels of silver, stuffed it into the pillar's arms, and said: "This is a deposit, and the rest of the silver, after the matter is completed, will be paid together." ”

Zhu Zi said, "What if I can't find it?"

"What are you afraid of, young man, I can't find it, I don't have to pay back the silver, you can keep the flowers." ”

The pillar looked at the old gentleman from head to toe, and said in his heart: It seems that people are really unseemly, and they met a rich man who pretended to be poor, and he was more generous than Jin Ye, he asked:

"What is your surname, sir?"

Yu said: "Exempt your surname and set up an early chapter." ”

Zhu Zi said: "Mr. Zhang, Master Zhang, thank you, as soon as there is news, I will tell Ye immediately." ”

Five days have passed, but the pillar can no longer see the news of Xicheng Tang Laojiu, Mr. Zhang comes to the teahouse every day to drink tea, and he doesn't ask if anyone has found it, the more Mr. Zhang doesn't ask, the more embarrassed the pillar becomes, he refills Mr. Zhang's teacup, he smiled awkwardly and left.

Zhu Zi pondered and waited like this, and waited until the Year of the Monkey to find Xicheng Tang Lao Jiu.

Last time, he told the black and thin little old man Jin Ye that Tang Laojiu in Xicheng might go to an address: No. 33, Deng'er Hutong, Xizhimen.

Ten days later, Jin Ye came to the teahouse to drink tea, and with a smile, he stuffed a heavy letter of fifty taels of silver into his arms.

Usually, Jin Ye's face is tense, looking a little scary, even if the storyteller talks about all the guests, he doesn't see a smile on his face, but that day Jin Ye smiled, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and the deep forehead lines on his forehead were gone, I didn't expect his smile to be unusually bright, it looked both amiable and cute, Zhuzi really wanted to step forward and kiss him twice, before leaving, Jin Ye only said two words: "Thank you." After speaking, he patted the pillar on the shoulder and left, and since then, he has never been to the Baoquan Teahouse again.

Scared, what a person who talks about credit, now, people's hearts are not ancient, the world is declining, there are not many people who talk about credit, if you can rely on it, if you really can't rely on it, then you will be a scoundrel, or an old man.

It seems that Jin Ye found Tang Laojiu according to the address I told him.

No. 33, Deng'er Hutong, Xizhimen, just an address, I earned fifty taels of silver, my head is really not open, as long as Tang Laojiu's contact person has not moved, I will sell this address to Zhang Ye, maybe, I can still earn a hundred taels of silver, if the contact person moves, I can't find Tang Laojiu, even if this business is ruined, it's not a big deal, as soon as he thought of this, he happily carried the teapot and walked towards Zhang Ye's teahouse.

Zhang Ye saw him coming and said, "Is there any news?"

"Huh, how do you know?"

Zhang Ye said: "Looking at your happy appearance, I guess there is news." ”

"Master Zhang, nothing can escape your eyes. ”

"Haha, I happened to guess, what a magic eye. ”

The pillar leaned over and whispered: "Just now, the little one was waiting in the box upstairs, and I heard two businessmen chatting, and occasionally I heard that they were also talking about Tang Laojiu,......

So, Zhuzi said what he heard about the address fifteen days ago as what he had just heard, and then told Zhang Ye about "No. 33 Deng'er Hutong, Xizhimen".

Zhang Ye said: "Lao Yu went to verify, if you find Tang Laojiu, there are still ninety-five taels of silver, you are absolutely indispensable." ”

The pillar nodded and said, "Master, don't be busy, it's easy to say." ”

The pillar was about to leave with the teapot, but Zhang Ye stopped him and said, "Slow, young man, I can buy this address, if someone comes to Tang Laojiu again, you can't mention the address." ”

The pillar said: "This is natural. ”

Zhang Ye's face turned pale, and said: "If you mention it, the old man is welcome, the old man can write a two-finger-wide note, and he can send you to the class room, believe it or not?!"

The pillar shuddered, and beat the drum in his heart, it seems that Zhang Ye has some background, if he can't get it to eat yamen rice, in the future, it is better to stay away, and he hurriedly said: "Letter, believe in it, Zhang Ye can rest assured, how dare the pillar." ”

That night, Shaoxing master Yu Wenwen told Qiao Wanquan the address, and Qiao Wanquan sent a housekeeper to pass the address to the owl Hu Dafa.

Hu Dafa found the thin monkey and ordered him to secretly pay close attention to No. 33 Deng'er Hutong in Xizhimen, find Tang Laojiu in Xicheng, bring him in, and ask him for information related to the purchase of murder willow.

At night, in the north house of No. 356 Quadrangle Courtyard in the Hutong of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, Qian Fatzi and Lang Qi were drinking, and the cups and plates on the table were messy, and both of them were a little drunk.

Lang Qi said: "Brother Qian, even if we have a fate, even if there is something to squeak, the younger brother is in the fire and water, and he is willing to work for Brother Qian." ”

Qian Fatzi snorted coldly and said, "Brother don't dare to be a headhunter, you are a headhunter, I am a suspect, we don't dare to call you a brother." ”

Lang Qi poured wine for the fat man and said, "Brother Qian is outside, as long as Brother Qian doesn't run, Brother Qian can do whatever he wants." ”

Qian Fatzi said: "Is this true?"

"Really. ”

"I'm going out, don't you follow, okay?"

Lang Qi said: "As long as Brother Qian promises not to run, you can go wherever you like." ”

Qian Fat Man said: "I want to go to a brothel, what?"

Lang Qi smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Qian can't leave his brother behind, eat alone, help carry his brother, and taste the fishy." ”

Qian Fatzi said: "No, after all, you are here to spy on me." ”

Lang Qi said: "That's right, but I always feel that Brother Qian is innocent, you don't have to keep such an eye on Brother Qian, give me this errand, it's actually a beautiful thing, look, there's nothing to do every day, eat and drink all day long, spend Brother Qian's money, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world." A few years ago, if the younger brother wanted to climb Brother Qian, Brother Qian wouldn't even look at it, and he didn't have a door. Everyone knows that Prince Yi's Mansion has two of the prince's most favored henchmen, one is the iron-blooded and loyal and brave commander, who is in charge of all the internal affairs of the prince's palace, and the other is the confidant envoy Qian Fuhan, who is in charge of all the foreign affairs outside the prince's palace. Brother Qian wants the wind to be windy, to be rainy, to be rich, powerful and have a background, who can afford to provoke it, right? ”

Qian Fatzi said: "Lang Qi, you only said the glamorous side, but you don't know how dark and dirty it is behind the glamorous, and I don't know how difficult it is for Prince Yi to serve. ”

Lang Qi asked, "Why did Prince Yi kill you?"

The fat man spread his hands and made up: "Probably brother, I know too many things, I really can't figure out, why did the old fox kill me." ”

Of course Lang Qi didn't believe it, and said: "I don't believe it, a cronie like you, Prince Lian Yi has never even heard of the murder of Liu!"

"I haven't heard of it, I really haven't heard of it, if you want to talk about it in the Prince's Palace, you are impatient, and you want to find death, you know, there are eyes and ears of the prince everywhere. Outside the prince's mansion, I have heard about it, but it is just hearsay, and I can't count it. ”

Lang Qidao: "Do you have a good relationship with the old housekeeper?"

"Good. ”

Lang Qi asked, "Didn't the old butler even mention a word?"

The old butler's mouth was tight, I can't ask about what he does, and he can't ask about what I do, so he can't do his own thing, don't talk too much, this is the rule of the prince's palace, whoever breaks the rules, will be expelled from the door wall at the least, and the world will evaporate at the worst. Prince Yi also has a few killers with strong martial arts, who are personally dispatched by him, specializing in killing people and killing people, and in the past few months, it was these killers who chased and killed me, as for what these people have done, even the old housekeeper will not know. ”

Lang Qi said: "It seems that there are many institutions in the prince's mansion, and it is not a place for people to stay." ”

Qian Fatzi said: "Fortunately, brother, I do the work in the field, in the prince's mansion, I only stay for one or two months a year, I have to stay in the mansion for a long time, and it is strange not to suffocate people out of illness." Brother, let me ask you, will the thin monkey report me to Qiao Wanquan?"

Lang Qi said: "No, Brother Monkey is fine, he knows what to say and what not to say, don't worry, he won't say it." Besides, Qiao Ye and Prince Yi don't have much to do with it, Qiao Ye is iron-faced and selfless, he is famous, and he will never bend the law to protect the prince, even if the thin monkey reports your matter, Qiao Ye will not pass it to Prince Yi. The younger brother knows this. ”

Qian Fatzi said: "Phew, the ghost only believes." Anyway, Lao Tzu is out of the way, and one day, Lao Tzu's life is gone, and it is the bad water that Qiao Wanquan envoys. ”

Lang Qi patted the single knife on his waist and said: "How can it, there is a little brother here, whoever dares to move Brother Qian, I Lang Qi will fight with whomever it is, even Master Qiao, and I don't want to touch a single hair of Brother Qian." ”

Lang Qi blew up, so he talked nonsense, anyway, he didn't have to be responsible for bragging, he said wherever he wanted, and he didn't care about him.

The two talked speculatively, eating and drinking, and Lang Qi, who was greedy for cups, was actually drunk......
