Chapter 419: Soldiers and bandits drink and talk, and humans and demons gather together in Longtan(1/3)
Fu Hai Building.
Ergou walked to the door, looked around, and decided to take a rest in this restaurant.
He followed the steps of the waiter and climbed the stairs step by step, but he was still thinking about other things in his mind.
"I didn't expect that the matter would actually involve the Jiangdu Wu family. This is a bit difficult to handle... There are at least three immortals in the Wu family. Even with my methods, I have no chance of hiding it from them.
Brother Dan, Fat Girl, will you be in there?"
"Sir, if you like to enjoy the scenery, this third heaven is just right for you. Do you think..."
The waiter and Ergou stopped on the seventh floor. The latter casually glanced out the window and immediately made a judgment.
"Go to the ninth floor. Qian Xuan uses nine to see the rules of heaven. I like the number nine."
"Your Majesty, you really have a good eye. Our Fuhai Building has 18 floors. Each three floors is a sky. Among them, the third sky has the best view. It can overlook 70% to 80% of the scenery of the city. Among the three floors, the ninth floor is the best." For the most..."
The waiter introduced Ergou nonchalantly, and the two of them quickly reached the ninth floor.
"Sir, it seems that today is a coincidence. How about we go to the eighth floor?"
The ninth floor was overcrowded and every seat was packed.
Especially for the position Ergou wants, which is close to the window of Wu Mansion, there will be no vacancies in a short time.
Ergou was slightly disappointed, but he didn't care and turned around to go downstairs.
But at this time.
A customer at a table in the distance waved to the waiter.
"Brother, drinking alone is boring for me. If you don't mind... you can come over and have two drinks together, and the money will be mine."
Ergou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but found that the guest at the table was indeed alone, and occupied an excellent position. Not far from the window was the Wu Mansion.
He walked over with light steps, strode over, and raised his hands: "I'm here for the first time, I want to catch the wind and wash away the dust, and take in the beautiful scenery of the city. Thanks to my brother's invitation, I don't dare to refuse, so I'll pay for the drinks this time."
After saying this, Ergou didn't wait for the man to respond. He took out a piece of gold horseshoe weighing twenty or thirty taels and threw it to the waiter, then sat down opposite him.
"Haha~ Brother, you are so brave, please give me a drink!"
Sitting opposite Ergou...it was Tie Tang.
Tie Tang came here to observe the Wu family, and Er Gou's purpose was obviously the same as his.
The best observation location near the Wu family is Fuhai Tower.
It can almost be said that it is inevitable that the two of them will collide on the ninth floor of the third level of Fuhai Tower.
But the difference with Ergou is...
Tie Tang had already been condescending and recognized his identity in advance.
Ergou still knew nothing about Tie Tang, and had no idea that the person in front of him was the county guard who had failed in his two previous assassinations.
After a small talk, the two of them fell silent.
Ergou was originally a taciturn person. Previously, he could barely speak a few words just because of this position.
Tuk! Tuk!
Tie Tang tapped his index finger on the table and pulled Ergou's eyes back from the window.
"Looking at Xiongtai's appearance...it doesn't look like he's here for fun, but more like he's looking for someone."
Hmm?
Ergou's heart tightened, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he stared hard at Tie Tang.
Tie Tang never dodges or avoids, and always responds with a smile.
"This person..."
"Hey, it's weird, I can't see through it." Ergou thought Tie Tang was an ordinary businessman and didn't care at first.
Now that I got serious... I realized that being serious was useless!
The Tie Tang in his eyes was the same as before, without any change.
The more this happens, the more vigilant Ergou becomes.
He cannot see through the characters, they are definitely ordinary people.
"Your Excellency is..."
Tie Tang picked up the wine glass and poured it outside the table. A layer of water ripples appeared around him, preventing outsiders from prying.
This method can be broken by two dogs at their own expense, so they don't stop them, they just watch the other party doing it coldly.
"You're here to see your two friends, right? It just so happens that I'm also here to see someone. Maybe there's something we can do together."
As soon as Tie Tang said these words, he saw the two dogs opposite him changing color, a fierce evil aura emerged from his body, and murderous intent rolled towards his face.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be too hasty. Let me finish my words first." Tie Tang pressed his palms repeatedly to signal Ergou not to act rashly.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ergou's mind, and he quickly focused on the person in front of him in a small area: "Do you know me? Are you with them?"
Tie Tang smiled and picked up the wine pot, filled himself and Ergou with wine, drank it all in one gulp, and hung the wine glass upside down.
"You guy, you came to kill me twice before, but now you can't recognize me in person?"
"Is it you?"
The two dogs were startled, stood up suddenly, and looked around.
But I found that there were no other government experts nearby, and I felt a little more at ease.
"Just you?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Tie Tang slowly shook his head: "You can't kill me."
"You can't keep me!"
Both of them told the truth, so after both sides were silent for a moment, Ergou sat down again, drank the wine that Tie Tang had poured, and also hung his head upside down to signal.
"What do you mean?"
Tie Tang obviously did not come here to target him, otherwise with his status, he would have been able to summon a large group of masters from Jiangdu Prefecture to surround and suppress him.
However, Ergou could not imagine why Tie Tang came to find him.
The two of them can be said to be incompatible with each other. One is a soldier and the other is a thief. It is impossible for them to get together.
"You may not believe it, but I also came here following the traces of Brother Dan and Fat Niu."
Ergou raised his eyebrows, of course he didn't believe it, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't think Tie Tang had any motive to deceive him.
"Why?"
Tie Tang turned his palm, and a lifelike three-inch figure appeared in his hand.
"You should know this person named Boil, right?"
Ergou sneered: "Did you come to me to pursue his death? But I remember that you are an official in Qingshui County, why did you end up in Linjiang County?"
Tie Tang said slowly: "Half and half, I'm looking for him for personal reasons. If such a person dies, he will die. I am not a person who cannot understand changes.
Of course, you must also bear the responsibility for killing him to the end. Don’t think that you can take it off. Sooner or later, it will be blamed on you."
Ergou didn't care: "It's all useless talk, I've killed more people than you know, and I'm still short of these two?
Stop talking nonsense, why are you here?"
"Like you, I'm all looking for someone. Before Zhuanzi died...did he tell you anything?"
"Does it have anything to do with you? Do you think I will tell you?"
"Brother Dan, Fat Girl was captured by the Hongyan Cult. She may be in the Wu Mansion now. There is an immortal overlord sitting in the Wu Mansion. You must not be able to enter, right?
You should know my identity. If I intervene... the chance of finding those two people is definitely greater than yours.
What do you think?"
Ergou was so angry that he slapped the table hard: "That bitch Jiang Yingxue, I should have killed her in the first place.
But you are not a good person. As an official of the imperial court, you know that there are people who have been kidnapped by others, but you turn a blind eye."
Tie Tang leaned back and held his head in his hands: "You come with me to the government to report, and I will immediately apply to enter the Wu Mansion for search.
Fat girl may be innocent, but that guy... I'm afraid he's done a lot of bad things just like you, right?"
Ergou was silent.
Of course it is impossible for him to report to the official.
Even if he dares to report it to the government, without clear evidence, the Wu family cannot be moved by the government if they want.
Even if we take a step back and let the government find Brother Dan, I'm afraid they will be the first to be liquidated.
So this matter...cannot be solved through government means in any case.
But it happened at this time.
To be continued...
