"Haha, you are still so rude! It seems that all the money I borrowed from you has been repaid, right? I don't owe you anything!" Fatty Wang saw me here, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Do you have a problem with me?"
"It's nothing serious. I just thought I hadn't seen you for a few years and wanted to have a few drinks with you. Here are the roast chicken and peach blossom stuffed rice that you used to love." Fatty Wang said, picking up the food box and setting out the food and wine.
come out.
Meng Shouzi glanced at me again: "What did you say your name was just now?"
"Oh, Li Jianghu, Muzi Li, Jianghu, Jianghu, Haihe, haha, I, Aye, found someone before, but I was short of water."
"Sit down and have two drinks with me." Meng thin man hooked up a small stool with his left foot and kicked it toward me.
I glanced at Fatty Wang who was still standing and felt it was inappropriate, so I placed the stool behind him: "Master, sit down."
"It's a pity that a good young man was ruined by a fake fat man like you. He called you master, what did you teach him? Dig graves or perform autopsies? Do you want him to be treated like a charlatan like you?
"Skinny Meng nodded, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"The revenge of the real fat man has been avenged. Besides, it was not your fault back then. There is no need for you to blame yourself. Don't live alone in such a remote place anymore. If you are willing, move over and live with me." Fatty Wang said nothing.
Ignoring the insult from the thin man, he picked up the cup, poured a glass of wine and swallowed it in one gulp.
"No need, I live very well alone, comfortable and comfortable." Meng Meng Meng pulled off a chicken leg and started to chew on it.
I swallowed. Judging from the intentions of these two people, I was afraid that the food and wine would be of no use to me. Then what should I do? Listen to their bickering or cheer them on?
Watching them drink down cups of wine, a roast chicken was eaten until only the skeleton was left.
Fatty Wang finally spoke: "Lao Meng, actually I came here today to ask for something."
"I knew this wine wasn't that delicious, so tell me while I'm happy these two days."
"Isn't your disciple Long Yuhan the leader of the Sky Eye Team? I heard that the imperial envoy thinks highly of him. I wonder if you can help me to see if the Sky Eye Team is still short of arrests. I... I want Jiang Hu to
Send it in."
Fatty Wang, you finally got down to business. I swallowed secretly and stood up straight, just waiting for Slender Meng's reaction.
Sure enough, Meng Shouzi looked at me again: "After what happened that year, I vowed not to care about government affairs anymore, but now it seems that we have a good official in Xiangzhou this time, and we should choose more.
Send out some outstanding people to assist him."
"Thank you, Mr. Meng!" I quickly bowed deeply.
Meng Shouzi threw away the chicken bones in his hand and squinted his eyes: "I didn't promise to send you to the Sky Eye Team."
"Skinny!" Fatty Wang became anxious and wiped his greasy mouth: "You farted just now!"
"At the beginning of this year, Inspector Lei and Meng Sima personally selected thirty elite agents and named them 'Sky Eyes' for the purpose of investigating the situation in the entire Xiangzhou City. Unexpectedly, one of the Sky Eyes team named Zhu Jiang turned out to be a Tubo man
spy.
Fortunately, the imperial envoy's eyes were sharp and he was able to catch him. Not only did he avenge the seventeen brothers who died tragically in the suburbs the year before last, but he also eliminated a traitor.
Yesterday, Long Yuhan came over and told me the situation. I wanted to go find you, but thinking about your birthday, I didn't bother. Today you are here, and we celebrated together, so that's all."
Fatty Wang glanced at me: "Now that Zhu Jiang has been eliminated, there is just one missing person in the Sky Eye team. How about you let Long Yuhan get Jiang Hu in?"
Meng Shouzi was a little embarrassed: "When Long Yuhan became a policeman, he thought that Fatty and I were older, so he called us 'masters' and we taught him some kung fu. In fact, we didn't have much of a master-disciple relationship.
Now, I am afraid his martial arts skills are already superior to mine.
Back then, the really fat man died trying to block a poison dart for him. Because of this, I even turned against him and told him not to see me again if he couldn't find the murderer.
Yesterday he came to tell me that his great revenge had been avenged. Although he still called me 'Skinny Master', I could feel that he had changed. He used to be an optimistic and cheerful person, but now he is as cold as ice. He really deserves it.
Got his name."
Fatty Wang nodded: "But no matter what, since he is willing to come to see you and call you master, he still has feelings more or less. In short, it is more convenient for you to say some things than for me. I just watch him.
It's hard to get along with him when it's cold, otherwise I would beg him on my own, why would I need to come to you?"
"Please help him!" Meng Shouzi turned around with disdain on his face: "If something like this happened to the Tianyan team, Lei Inspector and Meng Sima would be ashamed. As the leader of the team, Long Yuhan would have no choice but to leave.
The fault is that they dare to recruit people to fill the vacancies rashly? I’m afraid the remaining twenty-nine people in the team will have to be carefully checked again."
Fatty Wang disagreed: "It's not such an exaggeration. I think the imperial envoy is quite tolerant of this matter. The day before yesterday, the imperial envoy suddenly pointed out that Zhu Jiang was a meticulous worker, and the evidence was conclusive. He originally wanted to take the thieves from Shenlong Villa to the capital for interrogation.
But he accidentally killed himself.
I thought the imperial envoy would order his body to be hung at the gate of the city as a warning to the public. Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy actually let Long Yuhan bury him, and lamented, 'Everyone has his own master, and it's not easy for him either.'
After Long Yuhan got the order, he not only allowed the fine man to be laid to rest, but also prepared a good coffin for him. Oh, it's really puzzling!"
"What's so confusing about this? The dead are the most important, everyone is dead, no matter how great the hatred is..." I couldn't hold it back for a moment, blurted out, and suddenly realized that Meng Shouzi was still there, so I quickly swallowed the words.
Go down.
"Okay, you can go." Meng Shouzi's face changed again: "Thank you for your support, I am a cripple, but I don't have such great abilities. You, Fatty Wang, are so capable, you can just ask for the imperial envoy. I am.
I heard that if the imperial envoy works diligently and loves the people, maybe it will happen."
"I...where do I usually see people from the imperial envoy? Besides, I'm a widower and I always run to the officials, so they think it's unlucky." Fatty Wang said with a look of grievance.
"What does that have to do with me? I can't help you. Walk slowly and I won't send you away!"
"You..." Fatty Wang looked at him helplessly, took out a bag of copper coins from his arms and placed it on the stone table: "Jianghu, let's go!"
"Wait a minute, take it away. Who cares about your dirty money!" Fatty Meng picked up the money bag and threw it at Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang caught it: "You think I'm willing to give it to you? I'm afraid you'll starve to death and no one will collect your body! In the past two years or so, you thought you would have enough food and clothing with just your monthly pension.
?Do you think you are so lucky that kind people will pass by and give you food every now and then? If it weren't for me and that guy Long Yuhan, would you be alive today?"
"Is it you? Are you secretly instigating the neighbors to bring me food on weekdays?" Slender Meng blushed, not sure whether it was because he was drunk or because he was ashamed.
"Humph, I was afraid that you would lose face and didn't want to say it. Who made you so crazy? How can you be so cruel when you are disabled?" Fatty Wang said angrily.
I felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense. They were originally friends, but they were also people who wanted to save face. Are they going to have another quarrel because of my errand?
"I...when did I hurt you? To be honest, I really can't help with this matter. According to what Long Yuhan said yesterday, the imperial envoy is not going to add more people to the Sky Eye team at all. He divided the Sky Eye team into three
Each group works in three shifts and is responsible for the security of the city, enemy situation and other tasks. Any abnormalities can be reported directly."
Seeing that Meng Meng's tone had softened a lot, Fatty Wang also cleared his throat and said softly: "If it doesn't work out, forget it. Anyway, I should retire in three to five years. At the worst, let him take over my job.
"
"Hey, is it okay to be a spy? I know a scholar, I'll call him Xiao Mu. He is the spy of the imperial envoy. He often comes to see me. Yesterday he even came to bring me wine and food. When he comes next time, I
Let me help you ask."
Xiao Mu? I scratched my head, remembering that he had called us this name just now when we followed Fatty Wang into the hospital.
Secret agent? What do you do? Do you have a salary? Can you get a tax deduction?
Thinking in my mind, out of politeness, I still clasped my hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
"Secret agent? Xiao Mu? Is that person reliable?" Fatty Wang also became worried.
"Well, he is about the same age as Jiang Hu, and he is quite gentle. First, he secretly came here on the order of the imperial envoy to find out about the murder of the real fat man and the others the year before last. Later, maybe he saw how pitiful I looked, and he would take care of me in a few days.
Come visit me with some food and clothing, and chat with me.
He specially asked people to make my chair for me, as well as the baskets I wove, and he would also help me get them to the market to sell. He was here again yesterday, and it seemed that he knew Long Yuhan quite well. If
Ask him for help, maybe he can say a few words in front of the imperial envoy."
Fatty Wang was overjoyed: "Then where is his home?"
"His home? This...I haven't asked about it."
"Then you said it in vain." Fatty Wang pouted at me: "Let's go."
"Hey, I'll ask you when Xiao Mu comes next time!" Meng Shouzi shouted from behind.
"It took me half a day in vain."
Seeing Fatty Wang walking like flying, I quickly picked up the pace and followed him.
"Master, where are we going now?" I couldn't help but ask after walking for about a quarter of an hour.
"Where are you going? Of course I'm going to the government office." Fatty Wang burst out at me with anger: "As for where you are going, it's none of my business!"
"Oh, I understand, Master."
"Hey, wait a minute. When I see your mother later, I have to tell you the truth. Remember, it's not that I don't help, but don't blame me again." Fatty Wang ordered, already blending into the crowd.
I looked around, it was almost noon, I had been busy for most of the day, but I got nothing. I just got the advantage of the thin man and had a good meal.
Where should I go? Where can I go? I wonder if grandma’s tofu and tofu are sold out? Thinking like this, I headed towards the place where grandma often sells tofu.
