Sha Wuliang opened his eyes and saw a man in front of the bed calling him.
This person is Tan Miao from the arrest room.
"What's wrong?"
Sha Wuliang got up in a daze, and Tan Miao said, "My father-in-law is looking for you."
Sha Wuliang woke up immediately, got up and walked to the edge of the pool, holding a handful of water to wash his face.
"Hiss...ha..."
Only then did Sha Wuliang remember that his face was broken.
After casually dipping his face with a towel, Sha Wuliang walked towards the back office.
Once inside, Xiang Ji was playing with the birds.
Birds are most lively in the morning. Xiang Ji plays with the birds at this time every day. This is when he is in the best mood.
"Young man, please pay homage to your father-in-law."
Sha Wuliang bowed his head and saluted.
Xiang Ji was playing with the birds and asked casually: "How was it last night?"
Sha Wuliang sounded a little ashamed and said, "Last night, I led someone to follow King Wu An to the Wangyou Pavilion in the south of the city. King Wu An met Master Huai."
Xiang Ji held the gold cage in his left hand, fed the red bird with his right hand, and continued to ask: "What did you say?"
Sha Wuliang paused and said with shame: "My little one did something wrong. He was discovered by the guards who were standing around. He couldn't hear me."
Xiang Ji put down the golden cage and found that Sha Wuliang's face was broken.
"This is the first time I've seen you like this in so many years."
Xiang Ji smiled and did not blame him.
Sha Wuliang has been in the garrison for many years and has always been very capable and effective in doing things. Xiang Ji has many people to rely on.
Sha Wuliang said in embarrassment: "My horse stumbled, I'm ashamed of myself."
Xiang Ji said: "It is not unusual for King Wu'an and Huairen to meet. If you want to find out what the two said, keep watching. We need conclusive evidence."
Li Zhaoliang's night meeting with Huairen, even if this matter was reported, would at most be a secret meeting with court officials. The crime would not be punishable by death, and the charge of treason and treason could not be substantiated.
Sha Wuliang immediately replied: "I obey, little one."
Xiang Ji continued to tease the birds, and Sha Wuliang withdrew from Houya.
Once outside, Sha Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief.
The scars on his face could not be concealed, so Sha Wuliang had to say something to cover it up.
If you don't say anything, Xiang Ji will definitely be suspicious.
Tan Miao came over and said, "Boss, please apply some medicine. Why is your face shaved like this?"
Sha Wuliang took the medicine, smeared it on his face, and said, "I ran too fast last night and fell. It's really unlucky."
"It's okay, go and do your work and continue to stare at Prince Wu'an's Mansion."
Tan Miao immediately took the people away, while Sha Wuliang left the garrison and slowly walked to Yong'an Lane.
Seeing the move from Qijia Liquor Shop, Sha Wuliang sat down at a shop not far away.
I ordered a bowl of noodles and Sha Wuliang ate it slowly.
The business of the wine shop was a bit deserted, with few customers.
"This wine shop is not doing well."
Sha Wuliang asked the shopkeeper of the noodle stall, and the shopkeeper said: "Because it's expensive. His wine is very good, but it's too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it."
"The people who come here to buy wine are all from wealthy families. They don't open for half a month, but only eat for half a month after opening."
Sha Wuliang picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup, and said, "Is it really that good?"
The noodle stall owner smiled and said, "You will know after you try it."
Sha Wuliang paid and walked into Qijia Liquor Shop, where the bartender greeted him warmly.
"Do you drink, sir?"
Sha Wuliang smelled it, and there was indeed a strong aroma of wine, a very fragrant wine.
"Do you have anything else besides wine?"
Sha Wuliang sat down, and the bartender said: "We have wine and food, and they are all of good quality. Do you also want wine and food?"
Sha Wuliang nodded and said, "I can drink whatever I want, whether it's wine or vegetables."
The bartender said: "Sir, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the bartender immediately went to the backyard, found Lu Ji, and said, "Boss, Sha Wuliang is here."
The person in the wine shop knew Sha Wuliang.
Lu Ji said, "Let him come to the wine shop."
The bartender went out and Lu Ji went upstairs to find Long Chen.
The bartender arrived at the lobby outside and said with a smile: "Sir, we have several kinds of wine here. Could you please go to the wine shop and choose for yourself."
Sha Wuliang knew this was a cliche and said, "You guys have so many rules, let's go."
The two of them got up and walked to the backyard. Lu Ji was already upstairs.
"Sir, Sha Buliang is here."
Lu Ji reported, Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "I know, I'll go down right away."
Lu Ji went downstairs first. Long Chen took Yu Fuguo downstairs and entered the wine shop. Sha Wuliang immediately bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Yu, sir." Bayi Chinese website
Sha Wuliang couldn't recognize Long Chen after putting on makeup, but he was sure that with Long Chen's cultivation, his status must be very high.
Yu Fuguo smiled and said, "Your face is broken. Xiang Ji didn't embarrass you, did he?"
Sha Wuliang smiled ashamedly and said, "I fooled him and I didn't ask any questions."
Yu Fuguo asked with a smile: "How did you fool me?"
Sha Wuliang immediately reported the truth. Yu Fuguo nodded slightly and said, "That's right. If you don't say anything, Xiang Ji will doubt you."
As expected, people in this business are very smart and have a deep understanding of human nature.
Lies must not be completely false as they can be easily exposed.
Mixing half truth with falsehood is a routine operation. The best way is to lie with the truth and make people misunderstand.
In this way, even if others find out, there is nothing they can do.
What I said is all the truth. If you think wrong, it's none of my business.
"Sit down and let's talk carefully."
Yu Fuguo sat down, and the bartender served the side dishes and poured the wine.
"Try it, this wine is valuable."
Yu Fuguo smiled and poured wine for Sha Wuliang. Sha Wuliang immediately stood up and took the wine bottle and said, "My father-in-law, I'm a villain."
Sha Wuliang poured the wine, and Yu Fuguo smiled and said, "Have a seat."
Sha Wuliang sat down, Long Chen stood behind him.
His identity is Shadow Dragon, a thug who cannot be treated as an equal.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Sha Wuliang found it strange that a person as powerful as Long Chen could only stand.
"Our family remembers that you have been in the garrison for 24 years, right?"
Yu Fuguo took a sip of wine and ate a bite of side dishes.
Sha Wuliang immediately replied: "My father-in-law has a good memory. I am exactly 24 years old. I remember that when my father-in-law was here, I was promoted from a catcher to a catcher. It is all thanks to my father-in-law."
In fact, at that time, the Yufu Kingdom didn't even know a young guy like Sha Wuliang, and Sha Wuliang also knew that it was all just talk.
"Then you should know the garrison mansion very well, better than ours."
Yu Fuguo said with a smile.
Sha Wuliang said: "I don't dare. The younger one just hangs around for a longer time. He can't compare to my father-in-law's sharp eyes."
Yu Fuguo asked: "Let me ask you, I heard that the deputy supervisors Liu Lan and Xiang Ji did not deal with them. How far did they go?"
The first-in-command and the second-in-command are often enemies, as are chief supervisor Xiang Ji and deputy supervisor Liu Lan.
There was a conflict between the two of them, and everyone knew it, including Li Chengdao.
Many people said that this was deliberately arranged by Li Chengdao.
If the first-in-command and the second-in-command do not deal with each other, the final decision-making power rests with Li Chengdao. This is a kind of imperial power.
"The two have great conflicts. Liu Lan has always wanted to replace Xiang Ji, and Xiang Ji also wants to drive Liu Lan away."
"However, I feel that the emperor still favors Xiang Ji, and Liu Lan does not have the upper hand."
