Chapter 3 Each has its own considerations(1/2)
In a wine shop on the banks of the Ganjiang River, he changed his clothes. At this time, Gu Daliang, dressed in a businessman, was drinking and drinking.
Although the sun is already westward and the fireball that was originally so blazing that it is pure white has turned into a red ball, the air is still filled with an uncomfortable and hot atmosphere.
So Gu Daliang did not disguise at this time.
It is not too difficult for him to disguise himself in this hot weather, but why should he suffer if he is not necessary?
Anyway, there are only a handful of people who can recognize his true face in this world.
"Sorry, Brother Gu, I don't recognize the road when I first arrived. I'm late. Brother Yu punished me for three cups to apologize to Brother Gu."
Just as Gu Daliang was already waiting in his heart, he also changed into a dress and dressed in a businessman, and stepped into the wine shop.
After seeing Gu Daliang who was drinking and drinking, he quickly walked to the table, clasped his fists with his hands, and apologized with apology on his face.
"Brother Hu is so serious, I've just arrived not long ago."
As a master who is very good at disguise, looking at Hu Xiaolin dressed in a businessman in front of him, Gu Daliang felt only a burst of sore teeth.
But when there were guests around him, he really couldn't say anything directly. He could only suppress his awkwardness and pretended to be polite to Hu Xiaolin.
However, when Hu Xiaolin finally took his seat three drinks in a row, he still couldn't help it.
"Brother Hu, what's your outfit..."
Gu Daliang raised his glass as if he wanted to toast Hu Xiaolin, but after he opened his mouth, he blurted out obvious dislike and complaints.
"What? Is there anything wrong with my outfit?"
Hu Xiaolin, who knew Gu Daliang had a lot of experience in disguise, naturally immediately heard what he meant, and a hint of nervousness appeared on his face. Then he looked at his outfit, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice.
“There’s no problem with dressing up…”
Gu Daliang looked at him, his expression on his face was a little hard to describe.
"But Brother Hu hasn't looked in the mirror when he put on this outfit and looked at it?"
"Time is urgent. I went to the garment store to buy this outfit and rushed here immediately."
Hu Xiaolin's expression on his face was a little embarrassed and a little resentful.
"However, after I changed into this outfit, the shopkeeper and the guy in the garment store praised me..."
"Ahem, Brother Hu, is it possible that those who do business in this world can still push business out?"
When Gu Daliang heard Hu Xiaolin's defense, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly.
“…”
Hu Xiaolin, who heard Gu Daliang's words, was speechless.
"Forget it, although this dress looks a bit awkward when worn by Brother Hu, in the eyes of others, at most, you think that Brother Hu is a nouveau riche who has been poor for a long time and has probably not attracted anyone's attention."
After a brief silence, Gu Daliang once again spoke to comfort Hu Xiaolin.
But when Hu Xiaolin listened to his words of comfort, he always had the urge to slap him in his heart.
"Brother Hu would better tell me about the situation of other brothers? What does Brother Hu mean when he said that other brothers don't come this time?"
Maybe Gu Daliang knew in his heart that what he said just now was very unpleasant, so he lowered his voice without giving Hu Xiaolin the reaction time and said the serious matter.
"call."
After breathing out a breath of turbid air, Hu Xiaolin told him about the incident he had mentioned before at a tea shop outside the city.
"I actually found three letters in the inn that day."
As soon as Hu Xiaolin spoke, Gu Daliang was shocked.
"Three seals?"
Fortunately, Gu Daliang was already prepared in his heart after hearing Hu Xiaolin mention it in the tea shop, otherwise, he would be afraid that he would really scream out loud.
"Yes, one of them is a man. Huh, it was left by Mrs. Zhu to the elders in the family, one was left to us to explain the reasons, and the other was left by that guy."
“What is written in the letter?”
Gu Daliang, who had digested this amazing news, couldn't help but ask with a curious look on his face.
"I believe it here, you can see it yourself."
Hu Xiaolin said as he escaped from his sleeve and handed it to him. Then, when Gu Daliang immediately started reading after receiving the letter, he picked up the wine glass and continued to speak in a low voice, while taking a twelve-pointed attitude to observe the movements in the wine shop.
"After reading it, I believe you should be able to understand why I did this."
...
Gu Daliang looked at the letter in his hand with all his eyes. Hu Xiaolin was helping him observe the situation around him, so he didn't have to worry at all.
"This Bai Shier is really bold."
After he hurriedly read the letter, his face did not show a look similar to enlightenment. On the contrary, his face was full of resentment, and his target was naturally the owner of the letter, Bai Shier.
"Although he has always been a bold person, he can't blame him for this matter."
Hu Xiaolin, who should have been more dissatisfied with Bai Shier than Gu Daliang, rarely defended Bai Shier.
"If possible, I believe he would definitely prefer to act alone."
"Why!"
The resentment on Gu Daliang's face finally turned into a sigh, and then he raised the wine glass in front of him helplessly and drank it all.
The bitter wine entered his throat, which made his already bitter mood even more miserable.
"I really don't know what the palace, Mrs. Zhu, is thinking in my heart."
"If we could know, we wouldn't have had the hard work of the past six months."
This time, Hu Xiaolin was full of agreement with Gu Daliang's words. After raising the wine pot and filling it with Gu Daliang and himself, he picked up the wine glass and said with a bitter look on his face.
"bite."
Accompanied by the sound of wine glasses clashing, the two of them drank the bitter wine at the same time.
...
Yingtian Prefecture City.
Among the six doors and yamen.
The chief chief Hou Qing was sitting on the chair in a daze.
On the table beside him was lying a letter written on nearly ten pieces of rice paper.
"Tadadadadada!"
Just when Hou Qing was still stunned, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and then a group of people came in one after another.
All the sixth-rank or above-mentioned captains under Hou Qing were called over by Hou Qing.
"The chief constable?"
Seeing the footsteps of so many people still not awakened, a group of head-in-chiefs looked at each other, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they finally couldn't help but shout carefully.
"Ah?! You are here."
Hou Qing finally came back to his senses. Seeing so many subordinates surrounding him, he remembered the important matter.
"Chief Chief, you are so anxious to call all of us here. What's going on?"
Seeing Hou Qing coming back to his senses, a group of head-in-chiefs asked quickly, as if worried that Hou Qing might fall into the dullness he had before at any time.
"Look at this letter, you will understand after reading it."
Hou Qing, who didn't know that the captains under his command were complaining in his heart, reached out and picked up the letter paper on the table, handed it to the captain closest to him, and spoke expressionlessly.
A group of head-in-chiefs hurried over.
Although the letter had as many as ten pages, all the more than ten captains were quickly circulated.
Because this letter paper, which has as many as ten pages, actually only talks about one thing, it is on the first half of the first page.
As for the remaining nine and a half pages, they are all recorded confessions.
...
The letter was just delivered today, and the sender was Peng Zhenlei, who had not dealt with Hou Qing before, and was then investigated by Hou Qing to Zhangzhou Prefecture for the case of the Yangzhou Prefecture being destroyed.
The content is naturally that Peng Zhenlei and the other four led the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect to cooperate with the Dongchang, and captured many confessions from the Tianyan Sect and interrogation.
Although Hou Qing had received a reminder from Bai Shier before that Fang Ritu from Tianyan Sect appeared in Quanzhou Prefecture and was likely to have some connection with the local sects in Quanzhou Prefecture, Hou Qing was in need of manpower to cooperate with Xinyuehu to clear the Tianyan Sect stronghold in Yingtian City, so he finally sent only the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect who were vassals.
As a result, I didn't expect that more than a month later, I gained very little, but Peng Zhenlei, who was sent away and the disregarded Changbai Sword Sect gained a lot.
How can this make Hou Qing not regret it?
While regretting, he was also thinking about whether he could make up for the mistakes he had made before.
This is also the reason why he summoned all sixth-grade and above to come.
"I just feel that the witch had not revealed all the news he knew before."
However, the discussion that was supposed to be used to discuss how to remedy the problem in the future was off topic at the beginning...
To be continued...
