"This is Chang'an, and my ancestors have lived here for generations. The restaurant was passed down from my grandfather to my father, who in turn passed it on to me. It has been in my hands for twenty years now."
In the dim light, the man's face could be vaguely seen. His cheek muscles tightened and he spoke slowly.
"Half a month ago, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to my restaurant and ordered a roast goose, a altar of flower carvings, and four side dishes. He drank all the flower carvings and only ate half of the roast goose. He fell ill when he got home.
, saying that there was something wrong with the roasted goose in my restaurant, and wanted me to pay him a thousand taels of silver."
"The recipe for roast goose was passed down from my grandfather. Everyone in Chang'an has eaten my roast goose, and there has never been any problem. I complained to the government, but the government closed down my shop. I asked many people
, they all said you could help me."
"Why did you go to the government instead of me first?"
Behind the table opposite the man, there was a man sitting. His face could not be seen clearly in the shadow. He seemed to be holding something in his arms, a cat or a rabbit or something.
"I'm here to find you now. Whatever you tell me, I will definitely do it, but please help me and let those dog officials learn a lesson."
"Sorry, I can't help you."
Humanity in the shadows.
"I can give you whatever you want." The man stood up and pressed his hands on the table: "You are the only one in the entire Chang'an City who can help me."
"Everyone in Chang'an has eaten your roast goose, but I have never eaten it. Today you asked me for something, but you didn't know to bring me two roast goose."
"I'm too anxious. I just hope you can help me get justice."
"You have never respected me. You regard me as a bully and a murderer. You bring your money and ask me to help you kill people. I know that you have made money by opening a restaurant, and you think the law and the government can protect you. You don't want to be with me.
This kind of person has nothing to do with you. Until now, you came to me and asked me to help you seek justice, but from the time you sat down until now, you haven't even called me "big brother."
"Brother." The man lowered his head.
A hand stretched out from the shadows and patted his shoulder gently.
"I will help you get justice. In the future, I may also encounter some troubles, but this day may never come. I just hope that when I encounter troubles, you can also help me."
…
Xu Shenji, Qin Man, and Xu Ling'er stood by the wall, staring at this scene in stunned silence.
Cheng Dalei walked out from the shadows: "What are you doing? Personality is very important, okay?"
The three of them were still stunned, unable to react for a moment.
"Ah Xi, Ah Ku." Cheng Dalei called out.
The two men outside the door walked in. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Let's get to know each other. We are all brothers. Ah Xi used to serve in the army, but then something happened and he entered the world."
Xu Shenji only saw that Ah Xi was as strong as an ox and had a ferocious face, similar to the angry-eyed Vajra in the temple.
"Aku, I used to be a shopkeeper. I have a good mind and can calculate accounts well."
This Aku is the complete opposite of Axi, with a skinny figure and a pair of peach blossom eyes, which does not look like a good person.
"Axi, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't kill anyone."
"yes."
Xu Shenji looked at this scene blankly, and then said: "Master, have you always done these things?"
"Yeah, I'm very busy every day." Cheng Dalei said, "I've lost weight even if you didn't notice."
Xu Shenji and the others have been here for three days and have some understanding of the underground city.
This dungeon looks chaotic, smoky, and filled with demons, but in fact it is chaotic and orderly, and it is well organized inside.
The city of Chang'an is very big, and countless things happen every day. Some things are under the sun, and some things are not. And all kinds of things will come to Cheng Dalei and be managed by him. Of course, only in
The area covered by Cheng Dalei's power does not include the entire city of Chang'an.
For example, a certain big shot lost a priceless night-time pearl and reported to the government office, specifying a time limit to solve the case. The police searched for it but couldn't find it, so they asked Cheng Dalei.
"Okay, let me check and see who has stolen the Luminous Pearl in the past few days. Oh, here it is. The Luminous Pearl is here for delivery. If I encounter trouble in the future, you all have to do me a little favor."
For another example, if a murderer hides here, he also wants to see who you kill. If there is a grudge, and you kill your enemy, you not only need to arrange an escape route, but also prepare travel expenses. If the son kills his father, the younger brother will kill him.
The dungeon does not provide shelter for those who do evil things like my brother.
In this world, there are too many places where the sun cannot shine. Where there is light, there is darkness. People like Cheng Dalei breed in the darkness. It took more than half a year for Cheng Dalei to weave a big net. Now many people rely on this big net.
Internet life.
At the same time, this big net is also an invisible wall that isolates many people. For example, a warrior is hired by a wealthy family to look after the home and care for the courtyard, but he doesn’t even say hello to Cheng Dalei. Well, then, eighty thieves will steal from you every day.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. No matter how powerful you are, you can't handle it. Either you leave this place in despair, or you go to the underground city to pay homage to the mountain gate.
Therefore, Cheng Dalei is indeed very busy every day. All kinds of things come together, and Ah Ku sorts them into categories and sends people to deal with them. Some of the things that he can't handle are sent to Cheng Dalei. If Cheng Dalei can't handle it, then it's true.
There is no way to deal with it.
Aku held the account book and reported recent events to Cheng Dalei.
"The Black Fox Gang and the Tiedan Gang are fighting for territory. Both sides have decided to take action tonight. Brother, what do you think about this matter?"
"Aren't they just two gangs of beggars? Let's learn from others and tell them to divide the territory in half and not to fight." Cheng Dalei said while washing his face.
"The things escorted by the Shenwu Escort were robbed by Hulushan. They sent people to plead for mercy. Can Big Brother help them get it back?"
"Did the Shenwu Escort Bureau forget to pay tribute to Hulu Mountain again? What am I talking about? They have a few fierce men under their command, so they don't abide by any rules and ignore them. Let them learn a lesson."
"The theater troupe we came to last time was attracted by an official, and all the people in the theater were thrown into the big brother group. Didn't it be the big brother who rescued them? Now the stage pillar wants to thank him in person."
"Does it look good?" Cheng Dalei paused.
"It's good-looking, but...he's a man."
"Eh..." Cheng Dalei had goosebumps all over his body: "Tell him to get out of here and stop bothering me."
"Okay, you can take care of other things. I'll take my brothers out for a walk today." Cheng Dalei faced Xu Shenji and the others: "You wait until I finish putting on makeup and take you to Chang'an City for a walk. Chang'an City
I'm very familiar with it."
"Master, why are you putting on makeup when you go out now?" Xu Ling'er's face was full of disgust.
"Oh, don't mention it." Cheng Dalei sighed: "I'm on a wanted order."
