28.
It is self-evident what kind of colleague Fang Tinglan will meet in Jiumeng City, but what surprised him is that this person's appearance and attire are really different from what he expected King Liang's eyeliner to be. The man in front of him was not tall and not very old, and he was wearing a lace blouse that would be worn by those prodigal gangsters who coaxed little girls in Jiumeng City. The only thing left on his waist was a letter that allowed him to pass freely in the Tisu embassy. It is obvious that he is not such a rascal as he looks on the outside.
Fang Tinglan paused with his fingers, and put the knife back: "Since your Excellency knows me, you should let me know how to address you."
"Zhou Buyi." "Rogue" straightened up, rolled up his cuffs and introduced himself nonchalantly, "Don't call me Your Excellency, it's disgusting. Fang Qianwei just had a good conversation with His Highness Chen Wang, why, Liang The king also sent you here?"
Fang Tinglan was about to answer, but Zhou Buyi interrupted even faster: "I advise you to think about the lines before you fool me. I have to write a letter to King Liang every month to report the truth."
"True?"
"It may not be so 'truthful'." The other party laughed, "It just depends on what the adults can exchange for Zhou's pen."
Fang Tinglan smiled angrily: "You are honest."
"I've always believed that you don't need to lose your heart when you talk about love, but when you talk about money," Zhou Buyi poked his chest, "It's a matter of breaking your heart." When he said this, he had already staggered to Fang Tinglan, He glanced down at the dagger in Fang Tinglan's hand, then looked up at Fang Tinglan again, with a cheeky smile that a rogue should have: "Then, is Master Fang interested in breaking his heart?"
The tavern on the street hadn't opened yet, so Zhou Buyi took Fang Tinglan around in the alleyway and knocked on a closed door. Soon a head poked out from inside, it was a beautiful young woman Tisu. The moment the woman saw Zhou Buyi's face, she was first startled, then happy, and then angry again. The color on her pretty face seemed to have knocked over a seasoning dish, and after a long while, she choked out a sentence with mixed feelings: "...how is this?" Is it time?"
"I have something to discuss with my friends. I can't even trust the places around here, but your place is the most reassuring place for me." Zhou Buyi blinked when he said this, "And I miss you."
This person had a baby face, and when he spoke love words, his voice was as sweet as honey, and Fang Tinglan's teeth were sour when he heard it. Only the young woman was very helpful, she opened the door after blushing for a moment, and added intentionally or unintentionally: "He is going to the suburbs today, and he will return in the evening."
"Isn't that better?" Zhou Buyi kissed the young woman's hand holding the door frame with a smile, causing the other party to give him an annoyed look.
Fang Tinglan and Zhou Busu waited in the living room for a while, and the young woman stood on the stairs and waved to them after getting ready upstairs: "It's the same place, what would your friend want to drink?"
"Same as me." After Zhou Buyi said, he waved to Fang Tinglan, "Go up." Seeing Fang Tinglan's expression was a little wary, he couldn't help laughing, "Master Fang has the guts to lie to the emperor, King Liang, King Chen These three people surnamed Qin, are you afraid that I, a nobody surnamed Zhou, will fail?"
The words were provocative enough, Fang Tinglan didn't say anything more, he sneered and made a gesture of please.
This tea room is small, but it is well-organized. The hostess served two cups of green tea for the two of them. Before leaving, Zhou Buyu held her arm. The man hooked her little finger, and she slapped her. The back of the hand: "Your guests are still here, so check it out."
Zhou Buyi glanced at Fang Tinglan and smiled: "I don't know if he is my guest or not."
After the hostess closed the door, Zhou Buyi immediately changed his sitting position and slumped on the soft chair. He lazily took the tea from the table and took a sip in an unsightly gesture: "I know you There are a lot of things to say, and you can ask whatever you want now, as the hostess said, we can stay here until the evening. Well, it would be nice if we could stay overnight, the embassy’s bed hurts my back.”
Zhou Buyi's frank and indifferent attitude along the way made Fang Tinglan even more confused about his details. The man looked at the sparkling green in the cup and decided to cut straight to the point: "When did you find out?"
"It was easy to find out. Qin Weiyu thinks he is careful, but in fact he is full of lies everywhere." Zhou Buyi sneered, "Although I was rarely there at the fireworks night, the way he dealt with his female companion after the incident was too much. It’s a bit presumptuous, so I can’t help but pay attention.”
"Process?" Fang Tinglan vaguely remembered that Qin Weiyu did bring a female companion that night, so he immediately grasped the word.
"Fang Qianwei, don't underestimate your hair." Zhou Buyi didn't look at him, his chin almost dropped to his neck, and he kept stirring the teacup in his hand, "I came here to do this the year before last. There are two people who stared at His Highness Chen Wang before me. One died in a car accident. The carriage overturned. When the person flew out, his head hit the stone on the street, and his brains bleed all over the floor. ;A person who ate a puffer fish that was not cleaned up, lost his breath at that time. It sounds like an accident, right? I don’t think it’s an accident, there is only cause and effect in Jiumeng City, there is no accident.”
"You said this, I can choose not to believe what you say," Fang Tinglan shook his head and said, "After all, I have been with Weiyu for eight years, and I met you for the first time today."
"Eight years is nothing, Qin Weiyu has lived alone in Jiumeng for ten years." Zhou Buyi raised his eyelids and smiled meaningfully, "Master Fang, which side do you choose to believe, you should already have the answer. "
Fang Tinglan was speechless.
He did already have the answer. The child who didn't even dare to catch a cricket when he was young, can now pretend to be cute and pitiful while secretly killing. He didn't think it was wrong for Qin Weiyu to do this. If he was in this position, he might be more straightforward than Qin Weiyu. He just got Zhou Buyi's smile, which made him realize more clearly-nothing is the same as before up. Not only him, Qin Weiyu, but also the whole Dongzhou.
After Fang Tinglan was silent for a long time, he took a sip from his cup and said in a low voice, "The tea is good."
Zhou Buyi also took a sip with a smile.
Now that the words have been spoken, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Fang Tinglan smacked back and asked, "Since he is this kind of person, how can you still live till now?"
"The two people in front of me are too rigid. If they say surveillance, they will be surveillance. They are selfless as if they are doing a priesthood. Of course they will die quickly. I am different. Qin Weiyu is drunk in front of me, and I am drunk in front of him. Everyone agrees. Xuan, everyone is happy." Zhou Buyi replied confidently, not taking his dereliction of duty seriously at all, "So, when I am looking for you now, I also want to make this tacit agreement."
"You are not very loyal to His Highness King Liang."
"Aren't you the same?" Zhou Buyi laughed, "Loyalty is useful, how much money can I exchange for it? I work hard here, and when the time comes back to Dongzhou, I will see the son raised by His Royal Highness Liang Wang. The two colts still have to bow their heads and call out Lord White Horse, Lord Black Horse. In the world where people are inferior to horses, if I give him loyalty, do I expect him to reward me with a good bridle?"
Fang Tinglan hit the nail on the head: "You hate Liang Wang."
"No, no, no, I don't hate him," Zhou Buyi denied, but his voice gradually cooled down. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Fang, I am not as important as you. I am the son of a petty official. My father was only in the middle of splitting the country." During the war, I protected King Liang's concubine from leaving the capital, and only then did I get an official position with big fingernails. He regarded this official position as a treasure, and sharpened his head to send me to the Liang Palace as an aide. So that I can be a fingernail too. It’s a pity that I didn’t live up to it, and I couldn’t get the last seat, so I could only stand in the corner. The king of Liang thought of me and sent me here, but it was only because my wet nurse when I was a child was a southern woman , taught me the southern dialect."
Zhou Buyi suddenly stopped talking. He drank the tea in one gulp and sat up: "I met you when I was in Dongzhou."
Fang Tinglan didn't reply.
"Twice." Zhou Buyi stretched out two fingers, "The first time was when your family hadn't had any accidents, and you led a group of Wulong disciples past the flower market street in Chi Jincheng. ; Once in Liang Wang’s mansion, I went to help someone move books and passed Yange, you planned for him beside Liang Wang, and it didn’t take long before Qin Weishen got the hard-to-crack gold mine in Ruling—your handwriting .From then on, I knew that we are the same kind of people."
"who."
Zhou Buyi said every word: "Bad, people."
Fang Tinglan smiled. He first pursed his lips and laughed sullenly, then he laughed out loud, the laughter was clear and comfortable, as if he had heard some very interesting joke. The man shook his head while laughing and said: "Then you bad guy, what do you want if you find me, bad guy?"
"Well... Although I don't know what you want to do in Tisu, I know what I can help you. As for my reward as a bad guy, it must be much smaller than your ambition. In short..." Zhou When Buji said this, he leaned forward, supported the small round table in front of the two of them with one hand, compared his fingers with money, and greedily licked the corners of his mouth.
"I want a gold mine too."
