35 The wind on the table (for the leader of the little ghost Sarah
"Shopkeeper Li, I'd like to propose a toast to you." A kind-faced old woman held up her wine glass and toasted to a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman.
Although the middle-aged man was obviously unenthusiastic, he still raised his glass politely. He shook the glass without clinking it, took a sip, and said: "Pu Yu, don't be polite. We are all businessmen. We are not as good as the heroes here. I just want to ask you all."
Those who enjoy glory and get rich should really stay close to them."
Pu Yu smiled so much that her wrinkles piled up and said: "No, no, I'm just a street broker, a broker, how can I compare to you, the top shopkeeper of Jinshan No. 1 business? We are the best in the county.
We all want to thank you. Without your care, how could the good local products be sold to the whole county without any hindrance? You are the living God of Wealth."
She praised her repeatedly, and shopkeeper Li gradually let go of his reserve and said with a smile: "This is for everyone to get rich together. Heyang County is really poor, what local products can be exported? If it weren't for you diligently going to Fuxiang to dig out some good stuff, I would
What can be sold? The head office will not be satisfied either. This year the head office is particularly satisfied with a child. Was it you or Lao Bao who gave it to him..."
Pu Yu looked unnatural and said: "Maybe it's Lao Bao...I heard that he is disabled, which is really a big loss for Heyang County's dental industry." She smiled as she spoke, showing the few remaining teeth, "But I
I will work hard this year. You are really the best shopkeeper of the Jinshan. You are much better than the previous shopkeeper Liu. He was not happy to cooperate with us back then."
Shopkeeper Li curled his lips slightly and said: "Old Liu is just hypocritical...noble. In fact, he does a lot of shady business. Private salt, private mines, selling stolen goods, and smuggling are all not against the law? What's the difference between population?
How can the children of the world care about so many people? There are many people who bother him, and they haven’t even looked for him seriously when he disappeared. It’s a pity that he can’t be found alive..."
The two recently deceased people walking together were chatting and laughing, but little did they know that just three steps away, a young man was staring at them with disgust.
Two damn human traffickers, and they flatter each other.
Pooh--
Tang Zhao walked out from behind holding a dagger and did not attract anyone's attention at all.
He should have gone directly to observe the old man, but this state of being ignored by everyone was wonderful. It even made him take off a layer of shackles and feel more relaxed than ever before.
If he hadn't been a little reserved, he would have even wanted to lie down and roll on the ground in public.
So he happily walked around the hall a few times to see if there was anything interesting in the hall.
Anyway, the people in the Prosecution Department will not have any objections. They don’t know what Tang Zhao is doing, or even who he is.
The result...it's really not interesting.
The people at the wine table were all local martial arts forces, mainly underworld. They either flattered each other or boasted about themselves. They were all boasting about murders, arson, rape and robbery. Of course, there were also human traffickers who hid their knives in their smiles.
The only one who was elegantly dressed seemed to be the son of the Pei family from a local aristocratic family. He was very reserved when he was sitting on the table, but his expression showed unabashed arrogance. Tang Zhao instinctively felt that he should stay away from him.
"Teacher Si said someone is suspicious, it should be that person he is talking about."
There was a person beside Mr. Pei who looked anxious and uneasy - the uneasiness was Tang Zhao's preconceived conclusion, and no one else felt anything unusual.
"Communication fireworks, thunderbolts are hidden in the pockets on the waist." Tang Zhao guessed from the shape. He could observe at close range and easily find some inconsistencies, but this had to be given by others, and he had no clue on his own.
With experience in the martial arts world, it is impossible to detect abnormalities out of thin air.
Don't ignore this person. He has already caught the eye of the Procuratorate and will have to deal with him sooner or later.
He finally arrived in front of the owner of Peach Blossom Building. The old man was chatting quietly with the people from Black Spider Villa opposite.
At this time, Tang Zhao was wearing glasses and looking at the other person up and down.
It seems... nothing unusual?
Tang Zhao circled around the old man in front of, back, left, and right, but gained nothing. There was no display on his glasses, only a word on the corner: "Blessed by Sword Technique". That showed that he was in a "disappeared" state.
Are you just going back like this?
If no one found out, maybe he was really innocent and there would be no problem at all if Tang Zhao went back and reported it like this.
But he felt that this was not good enough. After all, he was the one with the "most inspirational talent."
Tang Zhao was young and competitive, so after eating another handful, he made up his mind and took off his glasses.
Wearing glasses is to save trouble, and any abnormality can be clearly seen at a glance, but it was not because of his glasses that he was selected in the first place.
His talent was noticed as early as when he was mentally disturbed by the magic weapon in front of the Xue Mansion. He also guessed that when he encountered certain things, he would be disturbed and even enter a strange state. The feeling of that state is not fixed.
, seems to be related to the other party's own attributes. Putting aside the glasses and returning to the most primitive experience may be dangerous, but it may be more sensitive.
…
Looking at it from the surface, I didn't feel anything unusual, which was natural. Tang Zhao patiently observed it inch by inch.
Suddenly, the senior executive of Black Spider Villa stood up from the banquet.
"Everyone, we are gathered here today to do something big."
As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.
"Although our village is the host in this matter and is doing the logistics for you, the real decision maker is the Tao Building Master of Taohua Building. Now let me ask him to tell you a few words."
The old man stood up with a roar, and Tang Zhao, who was about to stick to his face to observe, took a few steps back.
Master Tao is not very tall when he is sitting, and he is not very short when he is standing. His white hair shines silver under the light.
"Comrades, I think you all know it. This is a major event that affects the life and death of all our comrades! If we win, everyone will be rich and rich, enjoy endless things, and can make further progress in martial arts. There may even be a comrade here.
swordsman……"
At the mention of the word "swordsman", everyone's breath stopped for a moment.
Tang Zhao was also shocked. Didn't he remember that they got together to plot the Devil's Lair? Why did they become related to the swordsman again?
Master Tao said: "Of course, whether it succeeds or not depends on luck. But when the Devil's Cave first came, it was the richest time, and the treasures inside were priceless. According to everyone's agreement, we drove away the others, and everyone went in to search for themselves.
No one is allowed to interfere with others. Although the big gangs have many people, the Lone Ranger friends will not be without harvest. If you find a good material and sell it, it will be worth at least one Xuan Gong."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone clapped and cheered.
Only a few people sneered secretly: Don't interfere with each other. It sounds nice now, but by then, who will abide by it?
At this time, shopkeeper Li stood up and handed over his hands: "If you can't find a buyer by then, you are welcome to come to our Jinshan store. The store has a century-old reputation, and no one can deceive anyone."
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Master Tao laughed twice, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Everyone knows the benefits of winning, but do you know the pain of losing? When I say life and death are at stake, I am not being alarmist!"
Suddenly there was silence downstairs.
Master Tao said coldly: "Since ancient times, the rivers and lakes in the court have been like wells and rivers. The court manages the top, and the rivers and lakes go below. The court holds the secrets of Xuan Gong in its hands, and recruits people from the rivers and lakes to fight on the front line, using our lives to consume them.
Mosha only gave me a small reward, but everyone still obeyed, why?"
Tang Zhao thought to himself: If you can't beat me, what else could be the reason?
Master Tao said: "It's just to keep the last bit of freedom! Exterminating demons and protecting the environment is the imperial court's business, and it has nothing to do with us. We help the imperial court with good intentions and work hard, but they are never satisfied! You want to eliminate demons, we will eliminate them, we have to
We kill ferocious beasts, and then we make money and live in private. Is it reasonable? The court pays taxes, and we do business. We each get what we need, and it doesn't hinder them. We can't let the horses run without giving them grass.
Bar?"
"But those high-ranking officials are more domineering than the King of Heaven. They are so fat that they don't even have a mouthful of soup. What's even more domineering is that they eat us as meat too. You know who I'm talking about - the Governor of Yunzhou
Marquis Gao Yuan!"
Everyone shrank, and Master Tao’s voice suddenly rose:
"Since Gaoyuanhou went north, he regarded himself as the lord of Yunzhou. All he did was to exclude dissidents and use force to suppress others. Not only did he build an army of tens of thousands, but he also dug the Jiandi Division out of the ashes. Originally, Jiandi
Si, what the heck? Without the help of friends from all over the world, they would have been eaten alive by the devil. Now that they have a new master, they have become more powerful again. In the name of wiping out the devil's cave, they bully their martial arts colleagues, accuse people of crimes at every turn, and kill everyone.
, fighting with an open fire is worse than a robber..."
Tang Zhao glanced sideways at the side hall and thought to himself: Last time the people from Taohualou came and cursed in front of Mr. Xing, now you are here and cursed in front of the Procuratorate. You are not scolding in front of them.
Won't you come out?
"Do you know how miserable the counties occupied by the Prosecution Bureau are? Their families were exterminated directly, and those who were imprisoned were not mentioned. Those who were alive were yelled at, trembled with fear, and were not as good as running dogs. We are not dogs, we are the sons and daughters of the Jianghu, and we have been rolled on the tip of a knife.
Heroes, knights who have been trained with many years of blood and sweat, can we surrender?"
The more Tang Zhao listened, the more curious he became, thinking: What on earth are you going to do? Incite rebellion?
He had absolutely no empathy with these gangsters, gangsters, and human traffickers, so naturally he didn't feel anything at all, but some of the people present turned red in the face and became emotional, and it seemed they really listened.
"This is the decisive battle. Everyone will try their best to fight against the District Procuratorate in a grand manner! If we win, we will get everything we deserve, but if we lose, our reputation will spread far and wide. When colleagues in the martial arts world hear our name, they will also raise their thumbs. We are not worthy of being called 'martial arts heroes'."
'Four words! Would you rather die standing than live on your knees? Are there any of us who are afraid of death?" He said while waving his fist.
There was a small commotion in the crowd, and as he waved his fist, the commotion became louder and louder, the atmosphere became more and more heated, the temperature rose to an extreme, and there seemed to be traces of white air in the air——
"found it!"
Tang Zhao's eyes focused on the old man.
"So hidden! Who would have thought that it would be hidden..."
"boom--"
The windows were shattered from the outside, and countless pieces of window paper were flying.
Several small white balls flew in from the broken window, fell to the ground and rolled around——
