"Are you alone?" Wu Yong came out of the bedroom and asked the attendant at the door.
The young man replied: "My brother has something to do at home. He took leave this morning and left. For the time being, I will only serve Mr. Wu."
Wu Yong said with a smile: "There is no shortage of manpower in the hotel, otherwise you would not be here." The young man said hurriedly: "That can't be done. Mr. Xu told me to protect Mr. Wu personally. You tell him to go and let him go."
Mr. Xu tells the villain to go back, and the villain will not follow you."
"Are you going to take me into custody?" Wu Yong stopped smiling and said with some dissatisfaction.
The young man bent down and said, "Mr. Wu said something serious. How dare you? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to you?"
"That sounds nice." Wu Yong said calmly, "Then I want to go out now, and Lao Xu won't let me go out, right?" Hou Sheng said, "You can go wherever you like, but I have to follow you.
"
Wu Yongzhen went into the house and changed his clothes, asked someone to prepare the horse, and left the hotel after packing. The younger generation also followed on horseback, so there was no need to worry that Wu Yong would run away. He was a scholar by nature, and galloping horses on the streets of the city was something he had to do.
It's a waste of time.
Sure enough, Wu Yong was leisurely riding a horse and riding slowly. It had just rained in the evening, and the stone paved road looked fresh and clean, and his expression was very relaxed. The two passed by an antique shop, and Wu Yong said casually:
"Go in and take a look."
When he reached the door of the shop, he threw away the horse's reins and asked the younger generation to look at the horses. Then he walked straight in. The younger generation had to wait at the door with the two horses while paying attention to Wu Yong. Wu Yong stood on a wooden frame.
He looked at the things above and didn't move around. Then he saw an old shopkeeper walking towards him and said a few words, which could not be heard clearly outside.
Wu Yong pointed to an empty spot on the wooden shelf and asked, "Has someone bought my item?"
The old shopkeeper looked him up and down, and suddenly said: "Oh, I was just trying to look familiar to the guest... That bottle was sold last night, and just as the old man was about to close, a tall man with a capital accent came over.
I happily bought the above items. The customer takes the contract and the store deducts 20% of the commission, and the rest is your money."
After hearing this, Wu Yong blurted out and asked: "Isn't it clearly written in the contract that 10% of the remuneration is?"
The old shopkeeper said shamelessly: "That's what it says, but a few days ago I identified your 'treasure'. It's just a fake. It's not worth even one tael of silver, but it sold for a hundred taels... Haha, guest.
Mingjian, this kind of thing requires the company to take risks, so increasing the remuneration by 10% is not excessive, right?"
Wu Yong could only say: "I went out for a stroll today without bringing the contract. I will come back another day to collect the silver."
It turned out that the old man thought he had "understood" the mystery of this transaction: the customer in front of him wanted to accept a bribe, but also wanted to keep it secret, so he took a fake from home and entrusted it to an antique store for sale. The person who bribed him paid the price according to the agreement.
After the counterfeit goods were purchased, most of the money ended up flowing into the hands of those who wanted to collect the money. The old shopkeeper concluded that Wu Yong could accept the low price within a reasonable range, because the money itself was ill-gotten wealth, and Wu Yong would not
Use the excuse of breach of contract to cause a big problem.
Wu Yong walked out of the antique shop, took the reins and whispered: "There are no good products in small places, let's look elsewhere."
The two then stopped at a restaurant. This kind of place has special people to take care of the horses, and there are many people. The young man next to Wu Yong handed over the horses and followed him in. Approaching the hall, Wu Yong explained:
"You wait here, I'll go over and ask something."
When the young man saw him in sight, he didn't stop him. He walked to the counter, grabbed a waiter and talked for a while, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over. The waiter looked at it and hurriedly put it in his hand.
Into the sleeves.
The young man next to him was wondering, so Wu Yong walked over and said, "We have booked a banquet. Let's go up and have a look at the place. Come back at noon." Then he asked the young man to go to the wooden stairs together.
Suddenly, a waiter carrying plates hurriedly walked out from the diagonal, bumped into the young man's arm, and the stack of plates suddenly fell to the ground with a "clang", and porcelain shards were splashed all over the floor.
The young man grabbed him and said angrily: "You don't have eyes when you walk?"
"You don't have any damn eyesight!" The young man was furious, "Look where this place is, the Yamen is just ahead. How dare you use such dirty tricks to extort money?"
At this moment, Wu Yong was seen walking quickly towards the door at the back of the hall without saying anything. When the young man saw this, he quickly pushed the store clerk: "Let go!" Unexpectedly, the store clerk immediately yelled, "Hit me."
Got it!"
Immediately, several people, old and young, came over and asked what was going on. The store clerk said: "This green-skinned scoundrel walked without eyesight. He bumped into people and dropped things. The bad guy first filed a complaint and falsely accused me of extorting his money. Everyone will comment on it. What is this called?"
thing!"
Wu Yong had disappeared from sight. Housheng was anxious and took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve pocket: "I'll accompany you, okay? Let go."
"Send the beggar away?" The store clerk looked angry, "Besides, how dare I accept it? You can't say that we are extorting money?"
The young man said angrily: "Do you want to let me go? It will delay the business and don't open this store!"
"I'm scared?" The store clerk held on tightly.
The young man suddenly remembered that Wu Yong had just found a clerk next to the counter and gave him a banknote. He suddenly realized that this guy must have received money to do things... The banknote he gave must be a lot of money. For a store clerk,
It's totally worth doing such a thing. After thinking about it, the young man gritted his teeth and pointed at his nose and said coldly: "Your mother took the money, but I don't know how to live or die. I'll wait for you!"
...Wu Yong had slipped out of the restaurant through the back door without taking the horse. He blended into the crowd and left. But he teased a follower, so he didn't think it was a big deal. Even Zhang Ning didn't dare to do anything to him, let alone Lao Xu and
His follower.
After walking two streets and entering an alley, the road gradually became quieter. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was almost in the middle. There were very few people in the alley. After walking for a long time, he saw a woman buried in a grave.
His head was under the eaves, and there was a tub of water lying next to him in the sun, as if he wanted to wash his hair.
Without saying a word, Wu Yong turned two more intersections and stopped in front of an old wooden door. He knocked lightly. After a while, the door opened and he walked sideways. The light inside was dim, and there was a person standing there.
Zhan Zhuli and Wu Yong looked around and said, "Fortunately, I was well prepared before I sent you out, otherwise it would have been difficult to meet you. Zhang Pingan should have known that you did not go to the capital, so he became suspicious and sent two followers to keep an eye on me."
Zhan Zhuli said seriously: "Zhang Ning colluded with the anti-evil cultists and entered the anti-evil cult's lair in the mountains."
"What?" Wu Yong was a little surprised. Zhan Zhuli said hurriedly: "I saw it with my own eyes, and I am definitely not wrong! After I took the road from Jingzhou to the boundary of Yongshun Division, I followed Mr. Wu's words and secretly explored the ancient temple.
Due to the commotion around me, I discovered that supplies of food and grass were entering the mountain, so I followed the clues and found another entrance. So I hid in the mountain to find out what was going on. Late one night, I discovered that Zhang Ning, Peach Blossom Fairy, and Xu Wenjun entered through that entrance together with the evil-fighting cultists.
Shan, when he was about to leave, he was discovered by the secret sentinel of the Anti-evil Cult. Fortunately, he escaped in the end and returned to the city as soon as possible to try to report the truth to Mr. Wu."
"Have you been discovered by someone from the anti-evil cult?" Wu Yong frowned and hurriedly walked to the door and looked out through the crack in the door.
Zhan Zhuli said hurriedly: "What should we do now? I never expected to discover such a big thing before. Why does Zhang Ping'an collude with the anti-evil sect?"
Wu Yong said without looking back: "What other reasons could there be? That Zhang Ping'an was originally a member of the Jianwen Yu Party and got an official position; the Pixie Cult is also a rebellious party, and the two are colluding with each other to plot evil! We have to tell the news at all costs.
Mr. Hu."
After hearing this, Zhan Zhuli said: "What I want is Master Wu's words. If you had made it clear before, I don't need to risk meeting you again this time, and I can go straight to the capital. In this case, Master Wu
You can repair a letter and let me send it back to the capital."
"Don't be impatient for a moment. Let me make careful arrangements to be prepared for nothing." Wu Yong said hurriedly.
If Zhan Zhuli is allowed to deliver the letter, it will cut off Wu Yong's escape route. It will be difficult for him, a scholar, to escape from Zhang Ning's men. Will he be retaliated against? Wu Yong thought to himself: He still has a wife, children, and a family at home.
The whole family is on their own, but Zhan Zhuli is single... Isn't it a bit worthless to cover for him to escape by yourself?
Wu Yongsui frowned and said: "If you go to deliver the letter, Mr. Hu may not trust you, and he may even..." He stretched out his palm and wiped his neck.
Zhan Zhuli asked doubtfully: "Why would Mr. Hu do this?"
"You don't understand things in the officialdom. If the traces of this matter can be wiped clean, Mr. Hu is not willing to expose it." Wu Yong said with a serious face, "Zhang Ping'an was an official before, and Mr. Hu also recommended it. This is related.
complex."
Zhan Zhuli pondered: "Then only if Mr. Wu goes back with me can we deal with the problem. But if Mr. Wu leaves without saying goodbye, will Zhang Pingan be alerted immediately and send someone to catch up with us?" He also knew that Wu Yong was like this.
Literary men have a very difficult time running.
Wu Yong nodded: "That's right, so we have to make some noise in Changde Mansion to trap Zhang Ning. I have an arrangement. You take my handwritten letter and go to the government office to find the prefect and accuse Zhang Ping'an of colluding with the party.
We are plotting rebellion and asking the prefect to cause trouble for Zhang Ping'an. Let's finish this matter before leaving. We don't have to go to the capital immediately. We can find a place to hide first. The prefect will help us report the matter if we don't dare to hide it."
Zhan Zhuli rubbed his temples: "Will the prefect report this matter?"
Wu Yong said in an affirmative tone: "Who dares to conceal a major treason case and not report it to the local officials? Does the prefect take the courage to do so? Besides, Zhang Ning has no foundation in the officialdom of Changde Prefecture. Why would the prefect take the risk to help him?"
Zhan Zhuli pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Wu Yong said again: "Let's go our separate ways. I'll buy two fast horses and wait for you outside the north gate. After you deliver the letter, come to me as soon as possible and let's go together. When Zhang Ning is called upon by the prefect, he may also
He will be watched by soldiers and horses and unable to move, so he will definitely have no time to pursue."
