Chen Ao was a little inexplicable, this old man was probably Alzheimer's, or he was an empty nester, empty and lonely, so he wanted to find someone to talk to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if you want your children and grandchildren to be rich and safe now, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu? Chen Ao thought to himself.

The old man smiled: "Chen Gongzi must not want to listen to the old man talk about these trivial things, so it doesn't matter." Let's just do a business. ”

"Business?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yesterday, Chen Gongzi overwhelmed the crowd at the Salt Gang Conference and won the championship in one fell swoop. The old man didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he heard people talk about it, he could also imagine Chen Gongzi's sassy and heroic posture, and the heroic and invincible majesty......"

This old man is eloquent and convenient, and he pats his ass, and he doesn't even repeat idioms. Chen Ao admired his ability very much. But he himself is a master of sycophants, but he can see that the better the old man speaks, the less good it will be.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the old man's words and said, "Old man, there is no need to say more nonsense. I know you've captured my friend, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I'll satisfy you!"

The old man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Chen Gongzi is really quick to talk, and the old man appreciates people like you." Since this is the case, the old man will also say it directly. The business that the old man wants to do with you is very simple, and it is also very beneficial to Chen Gongzi. ”

He paused, and then said, "I'll start by saying that for the benefits of Chen Gongzi, you should consider whether it is so reasonable. Chen Gongzi is now the leader of the Salt Gang, and he seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact he is in crisis! As far as I know, Chen Gongzi is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but an official of the court. If this is known by some ill-intentioned people in the court, they will say it to His Majesty even more vinegaredly. I'm afraid that Chen Gongzi's life will not be easy!"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment and said, "What's this? I haven't done anything rebellious." Besides, it's not been a day or two since the Salt Gang existed. Could it be that if you don't become the previous helmsman, the court doesn't care, and when you come to me to be the helmsman, you will clean me up?"

The old man smiled: "Chen Gongzi has ever heard of the name Su Zhuo?"

Chen Ao suddenly heard the master's name, his heart sank, and he immediately listened attentively, but he pretended to be at a loss on his face, so as not to be discovered by the old man.

The old man said: "Su Zhuo is a reckless person, just because of a coincidence, he has become a high-profile figure. Such a character will inevitably attract jealousy. At that time, the emperor wanted to keep him in the court as an official, no matter how much wealth he wanted, he could be satisfied. Do you know what that means?"

Chen Ao shook his head.

The old man said: "A person wanders the rivers and lakes, as long as he doesn't become a traitor, even if it is the court, there is nothing he can do." But if this person enters the court, there is a restraint. The superior has the means to hold him firmly in his hands. That's authority!"

Chen Ao suddenly realized, no wonder the old man said that he would be in trouble, it turned out that this was the case. As long as he is an official of the imperial court, his superiors can casually accuse him of colluding with underworld forces. As for whether the charge is unfounded or not, it doesn't matter.

The old man continued: "Chen Gongzi must have understood the old man's words. Thou hast stepped on two boats like this, and thou hast come to die. Chen Gongzi is very wise, and he should understand the truth. ”

Chen Ao was puzzled: "What is the purpose of you telling me this?"

The old man said: "The salt gang traitors have caused the eyes of the rivers and lakes and the court, and sooner or later there will be a turmoil." Chen Gongzi is involved, and it is difficult to be spared, so why not withdraw as soon as possible and be your free magistrate in peace?"

Chen Ao smiled, feeling a little lighter. This old man has said so much, after all, he is here for the helmsman of the Salt Gang. As long as you know the purpose of the other party, things will be much easier. Chen Ao's heart moved, and he secretly thought, this old man is hidden deeply, coveting the Salt Gang, but he has been hiding in the shadows, could it be that mysterious force?

He smiled and said, "It turns out that the old gentleman is also here for the interests of the Salt Gang, but I don't know which gang and which faction Your Excellency is helping?"

The old man also laughed and said, "The old man doesn't help any faction!"

Chen Ao raised his eyebrows and said, "None of the factions will help?" However, the rules of the Salt Gang are that only the disciples of the Salt Gang can be the helmsmen. The old gentleman doesn't help anyone, doesn't he want to join the Salt Gang and be the helmsman himself?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Definitely." Chen Gongzi's battle yesterday shocked the heroes, and the salt gang had already returned to their hearts. How could the old man shake Chen Gongzi's position? The old man did not want Chen Gongzi to abdicate, but wanted Chen Gongzi to agree to a condition. ”

"Oh?" Chen Ao frowned and said with a smile, "I know, you want me to obey your orders and be a puppet, while you are the emperor." The interests of the Salt Gang will naturally fall into your pocket. Hehe, to be honest, I don't value fame and fortune very seriously, as long as the old gentleman releases my friend, I will do it on your terms!"

The old man took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi is refreshing, presumably what he said to Liu Dongquan yesterday is not much different, right?"

Chen Ao's face changed, and his heart froze, and he secretly thought, going to find Liu Dongquan yesterday, this is a very secret thing, how could this old man know? And even the content of what he said is clear, can he say ...... Does Liu Dongquan have a spy under him?

It's funny that someone has been hacked into a spy organization. If Liu Dongquan knew about this matter, I don't know what he would think.

The old man was surprised when he saw Chen Ao, smiled faintly, and said, "Chen Gongzi doesn't need to think about it, the old man has lived for so many years, and what he is best at is to figure out people's hearts." So, whatever you think in your heart, I can guess eight or nine without leaving ten. ”

Chen Ao cursed in his heart, thinking to himself, is it really fake? Isn't this a joke? How can you play it?

The old man said again: "Don't worry, the old man will not ask you to give up your existing position, but will help you consolidate your position and protect yourself." All I want is one thing from the Salt Gang!"

"What's it?" asked Chen Ao.

The old man said leisurely: "Zheng Wenping, the former helmsman of the Salt Gang, has collected a book, I hope you can give it to me!"

The key is owned by Zheng Wenping, the former helmsman, maybe it is the property of the Salt Gang, that is, Lao Tzu's things, how can he let others take it casually?

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Old man, if you want to read a book, I can only help you go to the bookstore to buy it, why do you need to take other people's old books? What kind of book is this?"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "This book is not easy to buy. It's called the Six Realms of Reincarnation, and it's a very old, old Buddhist scripture!"

Six realms of reincarnation?! Chen Ao vaguely remembered that that night, when Su Zhuo was about to teach him martial arts, he had mentioned these four words. It's just that his understanding is too poor and he hasn't learned this kung fu.

The old man didn't know that Chen Ao already knew the details of this book, and he said that it was a Buddhist scripture. Chen Ao didn't break it, and said: "Is it easy to say the Buddhist scriptures, don't say one, even if it's ten, I'll get it for you." Merely...... I helped you with something, how can you thank me?"

The old man smiled: "Hahaha, you kid, you are really shrewd." But I like your character, which is much better than those hypocritical characters! Don't worry, I've always had clear grievances, as long as you bring this book to me, our past grievances will be written off. And your friend surnamed Long and your little lover, I will return it to you completely!"
