After entering the gate and walking along the corridor, you will pass through the ceremonial gate into a courtyard. There are three rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard. There are many people in the room. There are several short queues outside the room. The people in the queue all have sad faces, but no one is there.
Talking. The lights in the main room were bright, but the door was closed tightly. There were constant shouts and scoldings coming from inside, but no one was seen.
Xiao Di wanted to ask Tan Xuan where that place was, but she felt Tan Xuan squeeze her hand secretly and force it, so she could only suppress her curiosity in her heart.
The man in a suit did not take them into the main house, but turned left in front of the main house and took them into another courtyard on the left. This courtyard was smaller than the one they passed just now, but it was quieter. Not only was there no sound, but there was not even a single figure.
nothing.
The man in a suit brought them into the sitting room and said with a smile on his face: "Guests, please wait here and sit wherever you like. Mr. Jiang is busy with official duties now. I will inform you after he finishes his work."
He. After all, although you and Mr. Jiang were old relatives, you suddenly came to visit without making an appointment in advance, and he couldn't turn away from the busy official work at hand. I hope you understand."
"This is completely understandable, you don't have to be polite." Jiang Chong replied politely, then found a seat and sat down casually.
"That's good, that's good. I'm afraid you're too anxious. You can sit here for a while. You don't have to be restrained here."
Jiang Chong sighed and said with a dry smile: "It's useless to be anxious. Let's wait until the old man is done with his work. I didn't expect that the old man had worked hard all his life when he was alive, and he would be exhausted here."
"That's good, that's good."
The man in the suit chatted with Jiang Chong for a few words like a butler. The conversation was about family affairs, and his words were full of flattery. Jiang Chong also enjoyed the other person's attitude.
After chatting for a while, the man in a suit stood up and said, "Please wait a moment again. I'll go see how busy Mr. Jiang is now."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Chong bowed his hands towards the man in the suit and did not stand up from his seat, watching the man in the suit leave the house.
The footsteps outside the door gradually disappeared, and Jiang Chong's tense face suddenly burst into laughter, "I didn't expect that the old man would become the leader here. It seems that things will be easy to handle this time, haha..."
Thinking that his father was a reputable figure here, Jiang Chong was very proud. He told Tan Xuan and the others a few words about his father's "feats" during his lifetime. As a result, Tan Xuan sat there as if an old monk had entered trance, let alone
Although he didn't even respond at all, not only did he have no reaction, even Xiao Di, who had been holding hands with him, was sitting there honestly at this time. Although he didn't close his eyes, his attention was focused on the room.
On the furnishings inside.
No one was there to support him, so talking to himself became boring. Jiang Chong sat there and looked at the furnishings in the room. The room was very grand, but the furnishings were really ordinary. There was a coffee table in the middle of the room, and they sat on three sides of the coffee table.
There are seats, a desk and a Taishi chair in the back of the room. They are all wooden furniture. Although the workmanship is good, the paint has peeled off in many places over the years, making the room look a lot shabby. However, there is a hanging on the wall behind the Taishi chair.
The calligraphy on the picture is quite good. Although Jiang Chong has no research on this aspect, the calligraphy is large and straight, and it gives off a sense of momentum.
There were only a few furnishings in the room, and at a glance you could basically see everything. Jiang Chong soon became disinterested and didn't want to take another look. He sat there with his lips curled up and sighed: "Oh, the person in charge of the reception does know some ways about the world.
, they just left us here to hang out for a long time, why is there no one there? We have been sitting here for a long time, and they didn’t even bother to get us a glass of water."
Tan Xuan opened his eyes suddenly and glanced at Jiang Chong in the seat opposite him. A cold light flashed in his eyes before he returned to normal, "Remember what I just told you, don't cause trouble, even though I brought you here.
Bring them back intact, but if you cause trouble here that you shouldn't, I don't care if there are any problems in the future. I only care how I brought you back."
Jiang Chong was startled by Tan Xuan's emotionless eyes, especially the light that flashed in Tan Xuan's eyes just now, which made his heart tremble. Jiang Chong shook his head, thinking that it was the light reflected by the light.
The illusion appeared, and then smiled and replied to Tan Xuan: "Don't worry, I have kept everything you said in mind, how could I forget it."
"Huh! Just don't forget. Good luck and bad luck will come to you. Just be careful."
"Uh..." Jiang Chong's expression changed again and again.
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, ignored Jiang Chong's expression, and closed his eyes again.
Jiang Chong looked at Tan Xuan and Xiao Di opposite him, bit his lip, looked at Jiang Yingyue beside him, and shook his head. No one paid attention to him, and he didn't talk to anyone anymore. He was silent for a while.
The room became extremely quiet, so quiet that it was difficult to even hear breathing.
The man in the suit finally came back. After entering the door, he glanced at everyone in the room with a surprised expression and then said apologetically to Jiang Chong: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I went over to take a look just now. Mr. Jiang is here now."
He is busy, he still has a lot of things to deal with, and I was sent out by him to do some other things. Please forgive me for neglecting you. I will probably be busy for a while before I have time to see you."
Jiang Chong laughed at the man in the suit, "Oh, really? Just wait. As a son, I must support my work. His official business is important, so we can just wait, haha..."
"Haha, thank you for your understanding." The man in the suit also smiled back.
Tan Xuanzai opened his eyes, glanced at the man in the suit, and asked, "Sir, what do you call me?"
The man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "This little brother promoted me. I just cooperate with the leadership in the work, so I don't have any reputation."
"Haha, is that so?" Tan Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the man in a suit with a flattering expression coldly, "Then I wonder how long Mr. Jiang will be busy? When will he be the boss if he keeps waiting like this?
By the time he's done working and it's daylight and you guys have finished work, it's not like our trip was in vain."
The man in the suit laughed, "This little brother is joking, how could I let you come here in vain? It's just that you didn't make an appointment before coming. Mr. Jiang has a lot of things to deal with every day, and there are not many things waiting in line for him to deal with now."
Sir, please wait patiently."
"Wait patiently? I really don't have that patience." Tan Xuan stood up from the chair.
"You, what do you want to do?" The man in the suit looked at Tan Xuan in panic, and reminded him: "Don't mess around. If you disturb the order here, you can't bear the consequences."
"Xiao Tan, what are you doing? The old man is busy, let's just wait." Jiang Chong persuaded him from the side.
"Wait, I'm not as free as you are. I'll finish asking you all the questions and just don't bother me in the future." Tan Xuan glanced at Jiang Chong coldly, then looked at the man in the suit with a smile on his face.
He said disdainfully: "I disturbed the order, so don't blame me. It's just a city god's temple in a state. How can there be so many busy people? Could it be that Jiang Youyu has become the city god? Don't pretend to be mysterious here."
The man in the suit's expression changed instantly. The originally smiling face looked as ugly as if it were covered with ice. "What are you talking about? You're speaking without restraint. Do you know the consequences?"
Tan Xuan snorted disdainfully, "Am I speaking without restraint? I'm just telling the truth. Don't yell at me. Your behavior is of no use to me."
"Xiao Tan, what are you doing?" Jiang Chong pulled Tan Xuan reproachfully, "This is where the old man works. Aren't you trying to discredit the old man? Besides, we are here to ask for help. How can you be like this?
You look like you’re begging for help.”
"shut up."
Tan Xuan finally couldn't help but roared at Jiang Chong, then flicked his arm to throw Jiang Chong aside, picked up the bag at Jiang Chong's feet and threw it in front of the man in the suit.
"I don't have time to waste time with you. You take these things and send away those guys who are looking for Jiang Youyu to do something. I want to see Mr. Jiang as soon as possible. Can you do this?"
"Well..." Seeing the thing at his feet, the man in the suit smiled again, but unlike the flattery just now, there was only greed on his face at this time. The man in the suit touched his chin without half a beard.
, nodded, "Why don't you say so earlier? But Mr. Jiang has a lot of people working there, and I don't know if these are enough."
Tan Xuan's face darkened, and there was a coldness in his eyes. He pressed his hand on the armrest of the chair and pressed the chair "squeaking", "Whether you are a human being or a ghost, don't be too greedy. There is no fat man who can eat it in one bite.
Greedy ghost who was choked to death, if you think this is not enough, I can talk to them directly, so there is no need to trouble you. The first level of the two worlds, not only ghosts can enter, but people can also come, this does not count.
Break the rules."
"No, no." The man in the suit kicked the bag in front of him behind him and said with a smile: "Why are young people so impulsive? Although humans and ghosts can come in here, after all, there is a gap between yin and yang. If you rush into it rashly,
It’s not good for anyone, so let me do it, at least I’m more familiar with this place than you are.”
"Then you should hurry up, it's getting late now."
"Okay, okay. Then this..."
The man in the suit glanced at the plastic bag on the ground, and then looked at Tan Xuan with a mean look on his face.
"Take it."
Tan Xuan made a cross on the ground with his foot, then raised his foot and stepped in the middle of the cross. The ground shook, and the plastic bag immediately deflated.
"Haha, okay! Just wait here." The man in the suit patted his pocket and left the room with a proud look on his face.
"Xiaotan, what are you doing? You got angry just because you got angry. You really need to change your temper... This is the place where the old man works. If there really is a quarrel, aren't you trying to impress the old man?
Is it medicine..."
As soon as the man in the suit came out of the house, Jiang Chong couldn't help but complain to Tan Xuan.
"You also know that it's not good to cause trouble in other people's workplaces? I don't think your family is making trouble in the criminal police team to stop the violence."
"Uh..." Jiang Chong was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Tan Xuan to be so direct, and then changed the subject, "Then why did you give all those paper money and incense candles to that person? Weren't they prepared for the old man? See you later.
If the old man doesn’t order a gift, he shouldn’t be angry.”
"No need. People who really help you won't care whether you give gifts or not. Those who receive gifts want to benefit from them. These things are originally prepared for the difficult brat here. After receiving the gift, I don't think he has any other interface.
You are not allowed to meet the old man."
"What, you asked me to prepare so much just for them?" Jiang Chong was unwilling, but when he understood the meaning of Tan Xuan's words, "You said that person just now was a ghost?"
Tan Xuan chuckled and looked at Jiang Chong as if he were an idiot, "What is he if he's not a ghost? Do you think he is a human being? From the moment you enter, everyone you see is not a human being. There is a difference between yin and yang, and that
There are more rules around them, otherwise you think I would give them gifts? They are really beautiful."
"Ah!" Jiang Chong opened his mouth and eyes wide, shocked by Tan Xuan's words. He turned to look at his daughter and found that Jiang Yingyue didn't show any surprise. Everything seemed to be expected.
Same.
"I was the only one in the co-author who was kept in the dark. It turned out that he was just waiting for benefits after he wasted his time for a long time. I thought he was really helping us." Jiang Chong patted his head, expressing that he was very annoyed, but he
There was no force, at least he didn't feel any pain.
A stern look flashed across Jiang Chong's face, "Since he has benefited from us, will he be able to see the old man soon? The old man is the leader here, and he is making things difficult for me. Aren't you afraid that the old man will deal with him?"
Tan Xuan hesitated for a moment and snorted, "The way the world is, I guess the old man can't lock up so many people. I guess he will see us after he delivers the message. After all, the old man is very concerned about Jiang Mingcheng's affairs. But I remind you, in a moment
When you meet the old man, keep your story short and say only what needs to be said. This is not the time to reminisce about the past. We must leave here before dawn, otherwise it will not be good for anyone."
"Okay." Seeing Tan Xuan's seriousness, Jiang Chong did not dare to neglect.
After waiting for a while, the man in the suit finally came back. However, seeing that there was no other figure behind him, Jiang Chong and Jiang Yingyue's excitement was immediately extinguished. Not only were their father and daughter disappointed, Tan Xuan was also very disappointed.
Puzzled.
Tan Xuan's face darkened and he asked coldly: "What's going on? Why did you come back by yourself? Where is Mr. Jiang?"
The man in the suit chuckled, "Mr. Jiang is busy, and other leaders are also there. He can't get away for the time being. I'm afraid that everyone will be impatient, so I came back to tell everyone. Everyone is thirsty. I'll make some tea for everyone. Leader
I specially brought me some good tea to entertain you."
Tan Xuan raised his brows and his face became a little ugly, but before he could speak, Jiang Chong beside him spoke unhappily, "Then if you didn't tell me earlier, we would have been waiting for a long time in vain. Hurry up and get it done."
Please order some water. When you told me, I realized how thirsty I am now."
"Okay, okay, it was my negligence and the hospitality was not good enough. I will go and make tea for everyone now."
The man in the suit apologized and entered the small room next door. His pace was very fast, much faster than when he entered the room. There was only a "ding-ding-ding" sound, and after a while he came out holding a tray.
There were teapots and teacups on the tray. He quickly placed the teacups in front of everyone, and then poured the steaming tea into the teacups.
As the water vapor rolled, an indescribable aroma of tea filled the whole room. Everyone took a deep breath of the aroma, then closed their eyes with faces full of intoxication. Only Tan Xuan frowned and looked at the water vapor above him.
The tea bowl was not dispersed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The man in the suit made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Everyone, please have some tea. Let me tell you, this is not ordinary tea. That is to say, Leader Jiang has given instructions, so I dare to give you this kind of tea."
Tea."
Everyone was about to pick up the tea bowls, but Tan Xuan blocked everyone with his hand.
"Don't move. Have you forgotten what I told you when you came here?"
Everyone was startled and looked at Tan Xuan, their faces instantly becoming extremely ugly.
The expression of the man in the suit changed, and then quickly returned to his harmless smile, "Brother, what do you mean? This is the tea that the leader specially ordered to make. Are you worried that I will change it?"
"
Jiang Chong also said from the side: "Yes, Xiao Tan, this is what the old man ordered. Can the old man still harm us? You smell how fragrant this tea is, hurry up and try it."
With that said, Jiang Chong picked up a bowl of tea, took a deep breath of hot air, and then handed the tea to Tan Xuan, "Try it, it smells delicious, it's really rich in tea aroma."
"Yes, try it. You can't drink this tea anywhere else." The man in the suit continued to confuse him.
"Yeah?"
Tan Xuan looked directly into the eyes of the man in the suit, stretched out his hand to take the tea, and then his expression instantly changed from a sneer to a fierce one. He raised his hand and poured the hot tea into the face of the man in the suit.
"ah!"
The man in the suit screamed and stepped back, but Tan Xuan didn't give him a chance at all. He grabbed his wrist, swung it hard, and smashed him on the wooden coffee table, smashing the teacups and teapots on the coffee table to pieces.
Tea and tea leaves are scattered everywhere.
"ah……"
"ah……"
The other three were frightened by this sudden change, especially Jiang Chong, who was even more furious when he pointed at Tan Xuan.
"What are you doing? This is what the old man prepared for us. Even if you don't appreciate it, why do you still beat people? Are you asking for help? I think you just don't want to help Mingcheng?"
Tan Xuan glanced at Jiang Chong coldly, his expression couldn't be said to be angry or disappointed. In the end, it turned into a stern expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Shut up, if you dare to talk any more, I will directly ask you to fight with your son."
Companion, do you think that what he gave you to drink was something good? It has a strong aroma of tea. If you are not blind, just open your eyes and look at the ground. Is that tea?"
Jiang Chong lowered his head and looked at the ground. There were no tea leaves in the broken teapot. It was clearly a bunch of worms, and the worms were still squirming.
"Hey..."
Jiang Chong turned his head and screamed wildly. Xiao Di and Jiang Yingyue were not much better, and soon followed in Jiang Chong's footsteps.
Tan Xuan ignored the three people who were "making trouble" beside him, but picked up the man in the suit. At this time, the man in the suit was very miserable, and one side of his face was burnt by the bowl of hot tea that Tan Xuan just had.
They were separated, and their clothes were in tatters due to Tan Xuan's tugging and throwing just now.
"Tell me, why do you do this?" Tan Xuan asked expressionlessly. He had seen a lot of horrible ghosts, but this level of ghosts didn't disgust him at all.
The man in a suit glared at Tan Xuan angrily, "I, I don't know what you mean by this. I'm just entertaining you according to the leader's wishes. Why are you so rude?"
"The dead don't eat the food of the underworld, and the living don't drink the water of the underworld. You even added seasonings. It's so cruel. Not only do we not be able to be human beings, we can't even be ghosts. You are still too young to argue with me.
point."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan let go of the man in the suit's collar, moved his hand upwards, and directly stuck it on his neck, "Tell me, who ordered this? Don't tell me that this was your idea. It's not that I look down on you. You
This kid really doesn't have the guts."
"I don't know what you're talking about." The man in the suit shook his head vigorously, and tried to pry Tan Xuan's hand off with both hands, but he couldn't do it even an inch.
"You don't know? Then you are a confused ghost, but you won't be anymore, because I will make you unable to be a ghost. If you dare to attack me, you really don't want to live."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan's hands began to exert force, lifting the body of the man in the suit from the ground, and pinching the man in the suit's neck so much that a "click" sound came out, and the man in the suit's expression became very painful.
The vigorous pedaling and hand grinding did not help, and all I could say was "ah, ah" in my throat.
"ah……"
Jiang Chong, who was standing next to him, suddenly forgot to vomit when he saw the scene in front of him. He stared at the ferocious Tan Xuan and the dying man in a suit in his hands.
On the little thing that came out.
The two women in the room were still chattering. They had all witnessed Tan Xuan's methods. This kind of method was considered mild, and they were no longer surprised.
"I ask you again, who sent you here? Where is Jiang Youyu now, and why has he refused to show up? If you don't tell me, I will kill you immediately."
"ah……"
The man in the suit was so pinched that he rolled his eyes, but he still shook his head, "I... don't... know..."
"Then you disappear completely."
Tan Xuan used his fingers to grasp the man in the suit's Adam's apple.
"stop!"
Just when Tan Xuan was about to exert his strength, the door of the room was knocked open, and five or six men in uniforms ran in, surrounding Tan Xuan. Then two men slowly walked in from outside the door.
One is middle-aged and the other is old.
"dad!"
"grandfather!"
Seeing the people coming in, Jiang Chong and Jiang Yingyue both looked excited, but the old man just nodded towards them, smiled slightly, without saying a word, and stood beside the middle-aged man, half-down.
position.
"Okay, let's release Section Chief Niu quickly."
The middle-aged man said to Tan Xuan with a smile. Although he was smiling, there was an irresistible dignity about him.
Tan Xuan looked at the middle-aged man and said expressionlessly: "He won't survive."
After saying that, Tan Xuan clenched his fingers.
"No." The middle-aged man was shocked, but it was already too late. The man in the suit turned into dots in Tan Xuan's hands.
