Chapter Six: A Young Hero, a Blessing in Disguise in Trouble (20)
Jiang Shanfeng found Jiao Yuxing and whispered to him: "Brother Jiao, the situation is not good, we are being followed, didn't you say last time that Leng Ferret also secretly formed a group of secret agents? ”
"In the past few days, I also think the atmosphere around me is weird, it's just that I haven't found anyone following, maybe I'm relatively slow, you found that someone is following, so what should we do now?
"I think it's better to stop the investigation for the time being, but the contact with the people who are being monitored around the inn by the police department cannot be stopped, we must continue to associate with them, we must make others feel that we went to drink with them because we were bored, they are just drinking partners, do you think, if we stop interacting with them immediately, it will be tantamount to suing others that we have done something unseemly with them?
"You're right, we can't just admit ourselves when we see the wind and grass, and continue to drink with them, because it's boring, it's reasonable to find a few friends to drink, let's just find a drinking partner, of course we won't investigate what their identity is. Jiao Yuxing said.
"That's what it means, let's pretend that we don't know about the secret agent's tracking, and we will continue to drink our wine as long as they don't let them catch the handle. Jiang Shanfeng said.
Jiao Yuxing said: "Okay. In addition, there is also an urgent matter, that is, we must go to see Shopkeeper You as much as possible, and tell him the news of the secret agent's investigation of Murong Yun that we learned last time, and let him tell Xiao Beiyou and Murong Yun as much as possible, but I am a little worried, if we meet with Shopkeeper You, will the spy suspect that we are secretly cooperating with Shopkeeper You?
"These are sensitive times. Going to see Shopkeeper You alone may arouse suspicion. We can ask Assistant Wei to go together, and everyone will drink tea with Shopkeeper You, so that our actions will be open. Let Assistant Wei report to the cold ferret. He doesn't know what we're doing anyway. Of course, you must find an opportunity to quietly hand the letter you have written in advance, and it is best to write down the contact information in the future. Jiang Shanfeng said.
"Good. That's it, tomorrow I will go to Assistant Wei, and I will say that I want to thank Shopkeeper You for the last time, invite Shopkeeper You to drink tea, and invite Assistant Wei to drink tea together, please be sure to appreciate his face. Jiao Yuxing said.
On the second day, Jiao Yuxing and Jiang Shanfeng really pulled Assistant Wei and went to the teahouse together, they were very happy to drink tea with Shopkeeper You, in the process of tasting tea, Jiao Yuxing took Assistant Wei did not pay attention, and quietly stuffed a letter to "Shopkeeper You", "Shopkeeper You" understood, accepted the letter, and things went very smoothly.
"You Beixiao" saw the letter, was very surprised, and thought: "Leng Ferret is really incorrigible, he not only sent people to Bauhinia Mountain to spread rumors and frame me, but also, behind Jia Tianming's back, privately formed a team of secret agents, and sent secret agents to various factions to investigate, especially trying to find out the whereabouts of Brother Murong, this is harboring evil intentions, big rebellion, if Jia Tianming finds out, he will definitely be dealt with heavily, right now, I must do my best to pass the news to Brother Murong, so that he can be guarded." ”
Assistant Wei really reported to Leng Ferret that Jiao Yuxing and Jiang Shanfeng invited "You Beixiao" to drink tea, Assistant Wei thought that Jiao Yuxing and Jiang Shanfeng's invitation to tea was just a ceremonial thank you activity, and it was a very normal exchange, while Leng Ferret didn't think so, he said: "According to my guess, this is not a courtesy thank you as you said, but a carefully arranged liaison action, you use your brain to think about it, if it is a normal courtesy thanks, why did they specially call you to go with you?" They deliberately let you be there to show you that what they were doing was a public activity and not some covert operation, in fact, isn't that tantamount to trying to cover up? If my guess is correct, they must be discussing something with Yu Bei Xiao or passing on some news, and you have been tricked by them as a monkey and dragged as a witness, and you are still in the dark, you should be sober!"
Assistant Wei listened, his brain was stunned, and he couldn't speak for a while, he didn't expect things to be so complicated, however, although Leng Ferret made a very sure inference, Assistant Wei still didn't believe that Jiao Yuxing, Jiang Shanfeng and Shopkeeper You were engaged in any secret activities, he felt that Leng Ferret was making a big fuss, and the plants and trees were all soldiers.
Of course, in the face of the cold ferret, Assistant Wei didn't dare to say his thoughts, didn't dare to say his objections to the cold ferret, he adjusted his feelings, and said respectfully: "Listen to the advice of the cold shopkeeper, and be vigilant in the future to avoid being fooled!"
After Assistant Wei left, Leng Xue Mink pondered, his suspicion of "You Beixiao" became heavier and heavier, he thought: "This You shopkeeper is doing a perfect job everywhere, and he is even more suspicious if he is doing so well, why did Jiao Yuxing and Jiang Shanfeng find him as soon as he came back this time? Is there any secret deal between them?"
The spy sent by Leng Ferret to follow Shopkeeper You did not find any abnormal behavior of Shopkeeper You, but Leng Ferret was always at ease with "You Beixiao", so he decided to direct a play and play it specifically for "You Beixiao", try him, and see who he is?
Two days later, in the evening, Assistant Wei came to find "You Beixiao", and politely said to him: "You shopkeeper, you live in" Mingshi Lou ", business is more prosperous, but also for the inn has made a lot of publicity, now there are more and more rich businessmen living in the inn, this is related to your influence, the cold shopkeeper feels that he should thank you, therefore, in the evening, he decided to prepare a little banquet in the restaurant of the inn, invite you to drink a few glasses of wine together, please be sure to attend!"
"You Beixiao" felt strange when he heard Assistant Wei's words, and thought to himself: "Leng Ferret rarely invites guests to eat and drink together, why did he hold a grand banquet for me tonight? What did he want to do? Could it be that he was aware of my secret operations and wanted to hold a Hongmen banquet? However, from Assistant Wei's expression, there was no malicious intent. He was very sincere in inviting me to the banquet, and he invited me so warmly, if I refused, it would be rude, I will go and see it first, and then I will be improvised. ”
Thinking about it, "You Beixiao" said: "The cold shopkeeper is too polite, there are so many things in the inn, he is busy enough, and he specially invited the people who live in the hotel to drink." Thank you very much!The cold shopkeeper is so polite. If you refuse, you don't know how to lift, and besides, you are a person who likes to be lively. I especially like to make friends. Friends gathering. There is a huge temptation to be in the next, and the cold shopkeeper is so happy. It is a very happy thing to be able to drink with Shopkeeper Leng and Assistant Wei, and it is naturally better to be respectful than to obey your fate!"
"Great, Shopkeeper You agreed, I'll go back to report to Shopkeeper Leng, and after a while, I'll see you at the 'Meixiang Pavilion' of the inn restaurant, see you or leave!" Assistant Wei said happily.
In the evening, the atmosphere of the banquet was very good, Leng Ferret was very excited, he not only let Assistant Wei frequently toast "You Beixiao" to drink, but also, he himself toasted many times, through the wine, Leng Ferret reversed the original strict and cold normal, the sea and the sky were messy, talking about hotel business, talking about friendship, talking about women, talking about silver, etc., even Assistant Wei felt that Leng Ferret rarely talked like this.
"Eube" found that Leng Ferret was too different from usual tonight, he became very talkative, funny, and very friendly, "Eube" reminded himself: "Leng Ferret is unusual, it's too strange, beware of what kind of conspiracy he is doing!"
Assistant Wei drank very happily, he thought to himself: "Shopkeeper Leng has finally figured it out, I believe that Shopkeeper You is a capable businessman, and he no longer doubts him, in fact, he should have believed my words a long time ago, he has been tossing for so long in vain, how good it is to be like tonight, drinking and tasting food, and chatting happily!"
Leng Ferret said to "You Beixiao": "You shopkeeper, sometimes the ferret thinks about it carefully, and feels that it is too laborious to manage this inn for the head of Jia, busy day and night, chores are constant, too boring, too depressed, the ferret might as well resign to the head of Jia, and then follow the shopkeeper You to do business, with silver in his arms, unrestrained, no need to manage people, no one to be managed, free and easy, how good it should be!"
"The cold shopkeeper laughed, you are an important person in the Yuanshan faction, the heavens will descend on you, how can the head of Jia Tianming let you resign, you can't give up the high position of the shopkeeper, so many people under you rely on you, are you willing to let go of them? business is done by this kind of person, you are not suitable, you will not change your career to do business, you disdain to do business, you don't know how to do business, according to the following opinion, you still have to be the shopkeeper of this 'Ming Shi Lou'! Perhaps, it won't be long before Master Jia will transfer you back to the mountain, promote you up, and put a higher chair for you to sit on, haha, come, shopkeeper Leng, I wish you a high ascension, cheers!" "You Bei Xiao" also followed the boastful talk, he pretended to be drunk and was very excited, half telling the truth and half tentatively to the cold ferret.
Leng Ferret drank a few glasses of wine, a little excited, his treat tonight is actually to set up a sinister bureau, this bureau even Assistant Wei doesn't know, originally, Leng Ferret should be very calm, but when he heard Shopkeeper You say that the sky will descend on him, this said to his heart, he was very happy, and drank three glasses of wine with Shopkeeper You.
Cold Ferret has a lot of alcohol, he is not easy to get drunk, not to mention, he is thoughtful and has strong restraint, he will not let the wine to intoxicate his mind on key occasions, his heart has always been calm.
Two hours passed, Leng Xue Mink felt that the prologue had passed, and the main drama was about to begin, he smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, and said, "Come, let's have a drink together, drink very happily tonight, toast to happiness!"
"Eube Shino" observed the expression of the cold ferret when he raised his glass, and he keenly noticed that the smile of the cold ferret was very gloomy and scary, and it was not a happy smile at all, and he felt that the cold ferret must have a conspiracy tonight, and he must be careful to guard against it.
At this time, the guy from the restaurant hurriedly walked in and beckoned to Assistant Wei, Assistant Wei walked over, and the guy whispered to Assistant Wei with a stern expression: "There is a person who claims to be 'Assistant Lin', he said that he has something urgent to see the shopkeeper Leng, but the little one has never seen this 'Assistant Lin', I don't know if to let him in?"
Assistant Wei knew that this "Assistant Lin" was the right-hand man of Leng Ferrable's command of the secret agent, if it was not a very important matter, when the cold shopkeeper was entertaining guests, he would not come to ask to see him, so Assistant Wei said to the guy: "This Assistant Lin has been running in the field, you haven't seen him, he must have something very important, go and call him in!"
The guy took the order and went out, and after a while, a middle-aged man came in, "You Beixiao" looked at it, he felt that the person who came in had bright eyes, a strong waist, and a very stable lower plate, it was not difficult to see that this person's martial arts were not weak.
"Everyone, excuse me, shopkeeper Leng, I have something very urgent to report, and I have to spoil your happy atmosphere, please forgive me!" Assistant Lin said.
Leng Ferret said to "You Beixiao": "The ferret is absent for a while, please ask the shopkeeper You to taste more dishes, and the ferret will go out to deal with miscellaneous things, and he will be back soon." With that, he stood up with a stern face and walked towards Assistant Lin.
They walked out of the "Meixiang Pavilion", and "You Beixiao" followed the cold ferret, and when they saw him go out, he listened attentively to the movement outside.
With his superb internal skills, "You Bei Xiao" was naturally able to hear the voices outside the private room effortlessly, and he heard the soft conversation between Leng Ferret and Assistant Lin very clearly.
The cold ferret asked sternly, "What's the urgency, how did you find here?"
"Report to the cold shopkeeper, something big has happened in the inn, and the person you have been waiting for is here!" Immediately after, Assistant Lin lowered his voice and said the names of the key people who came to the inn to Leng Ferret.
When "Yu Bei Xiao" heard this, he was taken aback and thought, "Is he really coming?!" (To be continued......
