Tang Zhao pondered and said: "Master of the Villa... Black Spider Villa? Are you members of the Five Poisons Association?"
The young man in black leaned forward and said, "Yes. I have received orders from Master Yin to come and pay homage to the young master."
Sure enough, it's Black Widow...
If it were her, even if her subordinates did something offensive, she would not be able to fall out because of the initiative to rescue her at the Sword Making Conference.
Although Tang Zhao really wanted to fall out.
He only said coldly: "If you are Master Yin, how can you not know that I entered the city without telling anyone, just because I didn't want to be disturbed. You have to stand at the door early in the morning and disturb the people. What do you want to do?"
He didn't ask himself how Wudu would know the news if he entered the city in plainclothes.
After all, although Tang Zhao did not make any publicity or deliberately hide his identity, he even went to pay homage to his parents and teachers, and met his former neighbors to confirm his identity. There were many loopholes along the way.
The Five Poison Society is a local snake in the Twilight City. I don’t know how many eyes and ears he has. Not to mention that he has not hidden it. Even if he has hidden it, he may not be able to hide it with his level of intermediate class in the counter-reconnaissance class. Not to mention that they may be vaguely aware of the Governor.
The Chinese army was mobilized here, perhaps guessing that Tang Zhao might arrive.
But it's one thing for you to know, it's another thing entirely for you to run up to me and say loudly, "I know."
Especially since they occupied Tang Zhao's old residence, coming out to visit him would be suspected of being a demonstration.
The Black Widow should be stationed at the Black Spider Villa. If she can't get to Twilight City in time to deploy, then the local gang is rude?
Just as he was talking, the door next to Wei Se opened, but Wei Se did not come out. He was obviously hiding his figure, waiting for Tang Zhao's intention.
The young man bowed and said respectfully: "The owner of the village knows that you don't like to be disturbed, so he has repeatedly ordered you to come quietly. Naturally, the villain will not dare to disturb the people. Ever since I learned that you are staying at the 'Shengfa Inn', the villain has
The whole backyard was immediately covered, ensuring that there was no one idle inside or outside. The villain was admitted to the hospital last night, and no one except us knew that he was waiting here. As for the store, the villain told him to let him
Shut up, because he won’t dare to say nonsense.”
It turns out he is such a non-disturbing person.
Tang Zhao was angry and funny. He felt that there was no reason to argue with this kind of gang. After all, they had not violated the king's law. Even the inspection department allowed the Five Poisons to exist when cleaning the ground. It seemed that the owner of the village allowed them to quietly
Just go to hell.
He said: "Okay. You have seen me, is that okay? Go back and tell the owner of the village that I have not forgotten her agreement. I will go there after handling the matters at hand. Leave now, don't forget to settle the bill, and comfort me."
Store owners, stop bullying others."
The young man leaned forward and said, "Young master, we will comfort the shop owner and pay you the full room fee. I don't know anything about the agreement you have with the owner, and I don't dare to ask about it. I came to see you because I was ordered to give it to you."
Send things."
As he said this, someone behind him presented a box, which the young man held in his hands and brought to Tang Zhao.
The box is not big, it is actually a flat book box. It doesn't look like there is much in it.
But there are some things that don’t need to be packed in big boxes.
Such as gold and silver tickets.
Tang Zhao didn't look at it and said calmly: "Do you know what I do?"
The young man said respectfully: "I don't know, little man."
…
forget about it.
You don’t know how I can go on?
Tang Zhao originally thought that if he revealed his identity, he would learn to speak in an official manner, warn the local gang, and also warn the black widow behind him.
Friendship is friendship, there are some things that cannot be done, and their nature will change if they are done.
There is no doubt that the Prosecution Division is an official, but the Five Poison Society is not a bandit in the strict sense. It is a dynamic Jianghu organization that was allowed to exist after Gao Yuanhou sorted out the place, but it is undoubtedly in a gray area. Anyone who has anything to do with the Prosecution Division
Any transaction that occurs is considered bribery.
At least in the current Procuratorate, this kind of thing is never allowed.
According to Tang Zhao, the style of the District Prosecution Department is relatively clean. It cannot be said that there is no ambiguity at all, but there is no blatant corruption and perversion of the law. It is not just because the District Prosecution Department has been cleaned up now and has chosen its own disciples for the training camp.
In addition, the so-called rectification of the origin is because the prosecutor's office is very rich.
Yes, although the Prosecution Department is dangerous, it is rich.
You know, all the evils on the ground, big and small, are nominally under the responsibility of the Earth Inspector, and some of them are harvested. The materials on the beasts and the living phantoms can make money. But the most profitable thing is the devil's cave that descends.
In every demon cave, there must be something unusual produced. Not to mention the most precious sword species, various materials and herbs also have magical effects. They are so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures. And by default, some of these are owned by the inspector. Even the sword species are also inspected.
The share of the land company.
Of course, this is just the one that comes when it comes. It is best to eliminate the devil's cave, and the ground is clean and meritorious. If it cannot, and it ends up becoming a devil's prison on earth, then it will be handed over to the Prison Suppression Department.
So the prison secretary is also very rich.
Among the three divisions, only the Jing'an Division is the poorest and has no apparent income. But they have always been active outside Yunzhou, so they are subject to the least restrictions. Everyone turns a blind eye to whatever they do outside.
The District Procuratorate is rich, and everyone’s funds, salaries, and benefits are sufficient. Coupled with discipline, the atmosphere is naturally good, and no one is willing to do such taboo things.
It stands to reason that Black Widow is very familiar with the Prosecution Division, and has been friends with Xing Ji for many years. They know each other well. If they continue to play this trick, it would be very disappointing.
The young man continued: "Sir, this is a personal gift from the owner of the village. It is not owned by the Five Poisons Association. It is all for the sake of your friendship with the owner. Please take a look at it."
Seeing that Tang Zhao was indifferent, the young man took it upon himself to open the box and saw a land deed on top.
Tang Zhao frowned, and then thought of something. The young man already said: "This is the house deed for No. 3 Chaoyang Lane."
As expected... it's my home.
Although Tang Zhao was a little emotional, he still didn't speak.
The young man continued: "This house was bought three years ago. The owner of the house specially explained that when he first recognized you, even though you were still young, he felt that you were not a thing in the pool. I thought that although you were young and wandering outside, sooner or later
You want to return to your hometown. Wouldn't it be too much if you have to live in an inn when you return to your hometown? So you bought the house at that time and kept it properly, hiring people to clean it from time to time, and it is exactly the same as before. Now you are back home.
, natural objects return to their original owners.”
Tang Zhao felt a little emotional in his heart. Regardless of whether it was a house sold three years ago or not, it can only be said that Black Widow has her heart.
Come to think of it, his house is just an ordinary house with a narrow yard and cannot accommodate a few people. What kind of place can it be? Naturally, he bought it specially and waited to return it today.
It can be seen from this that if these Jianghu gangs want to give gifts, they are really clever. How can ordinary people withstand it?
He thought for a moment and said, "How much did it cost when we took the inventory?"
The young man said: "Don't mention the money. The owner of the village said that you are going to do him a big favor. No reward is too high. It's just a private house. It's really not worth mentioning. Could it be said that your friendship with her is not as good as that of a house?"
Up?"
Tang Zhao pursed his lips slightly and was about to say more when a fierce-looking man rushed out of the dangerous-looking room. He stood across the courtyard like an iron tower. He pushed the young man to stagger and shouted: "You are so nagging, how much does our young master want to ask you?"
Money, your honest answer is, who are you trying to bully here? Do you look down on our young master? Our family has money, have you seen it - is one hundred taels of silver enough? Is two hundred taels of silver enough? I can buy your head.
That's enough." He said while waving a piece of white paper, not sure if it was a banknote or not.
Tang Zhao couldn't help but want to laugh, when he saw that the young man was pushed and took several steps back. He seemed a little panicked, and he felt slightly strange: Why is the person sent by the Black Widow to do things so irritable?
After Tang Zhao smiled, something moved in his heart, he stopped being nervous and continued to improvise, saying: "Just two hundred taels, give him two hundred taels. Thank the owner for me, I have received her kindness, talking about money is vulgar.
Even if she resells it to me, do I not recognize the favor that I have maintained for several years? I just saw that there is something in the box?"
The young man said nothing, stopped showing off his eloquence, and presented the book box to Tang Zhao.
In the book box...it turns out to be a real book.
"Yunmeng Xiandu".
It seems to be some kind of short storybook?
It looks like it is an ancient book with some age. It is bound using the binding method of the previous dynasty, and the pages are all yellowed.
Tang Zhao became more and more curious, what kind of expensive gift was this?
Is it the only copy handed down from generation to generation and priceless?
He glanced at the young man. The young man was a little sluggish, and he explained vaguely: "The owner of the village has no other instructions for this book. I just asked you to read it and I would like to discuss it with you later."
Tang Zhao was slightly startled. Are you discussing novels with him? What kind of code is this?
Tang Zhao didn't think about it for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, this book is probably not valuable, and said: "In this case, I will accept it. Thank you owner for your kindness. Is there anything else you can do?"
The young man lowered his eyebrows and said, "No more."
Tang Zhao said: "Well, why did you come here so quietly? Why don't you go back quietly? Again, thank the owner of the village for me. Don't disturb the people when you go out." After that, he turned back to the house.
The young man walked to the door silently and motioned to a few big men with angry faces to leave. When he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and said, "Tang Zhao, you..."
Tang Zhao seemed to know that he was asking this question, and said without looking back: "What happened back then is in the past, you don't need to take it to heart."
The young man was shocked, suddenly relaxed, nodded silently, and left by himself.
Yes, this person is actually an old acquaintance of Tang Zhao. He also recognizes Tang Zhao, and Tang Zhao also recognizes him.
Tang Zhao vaguely remembered that his name was Zhang Xu. At first, he was instigated by someone unknown to harm him with another boy named Gao. But in the end, he countered and used it as a raft to establish his authority in front of everyone.
For Tang Zhao at that time, it was a proud experience. For Tang Zhao now, it is a small and interesting memory. But for Zhang Xu, it left a shadow on Tang Zhao that he still remembers.
So he recognized Tang Zhao as soon as he came in, but Tang Zhao only recognized him after seeing his panicked look and recalling his memories.
Now Tang Zhao naturally doesn't hold any grudge against him, but instead feels a little emotional and surprised when he sees him. After all, this is another old friend he saw after returning to his hometown.
It can be regarded as a small footnote to meeting an old friend in my hometown.
Tang Zhao put away the novel and planned to read it again, but he just picked up the house deed, feeling somewhat happy.
"The house is back, it's very good, let's go take a look."
