The back door of the car house.
Tang Zhao hugged him and said slowly: "Chief Che, I won't say any parting words. See you in Yunzhou. I'll take Ayun back to my place first. Please tell the Sui family and the others."
Of course he can go back to the hall, but when he goes back to see the people in the Sui family class, everyone will recognize each other, and there will be some joys and sorrows by then. There is no need to expose these real emotions to everyone, and he is not an actor. , I don’t have this addiction in the spotlight.
Che Lin didn't care whether he understood Tang Zhao's reasons or not, but he couldn't object to such a trivial matter. He said, "Okay, I'll tell them. See you in Yunzhou. I haven't been out of Youzhou for a long time, and I'm used to being a guard. It is indeed difficult to have a chance to think. I hope I will think clearly next time we meet..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhao suddenly turned back and frowned.
Che Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he also noticed a trace of Yin Qi coming from the distance. It was not clear because it was too far away, but his heart had already sunk, and a sign on his waist flashed.
His expression suddenly changed and he said, "Damn by evil?"
Taking off his waist badge, he looked carefully at the relief on it, then looked up at the sun to identify the direction.
Tang Zhao was next to him. He squinted and saw that on the front of the sign was the waist badge of the District Director, but on the back was a direction pointer similar to a compass. Now there is a touch of red in the southwest above, like a drop of blood.
To the southwest, it was in the same direction as the Yin Qi that Tang Zhao sensed suddenly appeared. That sign should be used to guide the direction of evil.
This token is quite convenient. It can always show the location of the disaster. The equipment of the inspection and prefecture bureaus in various places are all distributed by the state, but Yunzhou does not have this. But judging from Tang Zhao's knowledge, not to mention speculation, the magic weapon that can monitor all the evil in a county in real time cannot be so small. There should be a huge magic weapon at their headquarters. The token is just the receiving device.
Tang Zhao saw this scene and said: "Since you have official business, I will leave first."
In fact, he is also the district inspector, but after all, he is not from the same state, and he cannot join other people's ranks.
However, he didn't intend to sit back and watch, he just wanted to follow Che Lin after he set off to prevent accidents.
Che Lin smiled apologetically and said: "It's true that business is urgent. The Yin Qi was temporarily detected, and it was at the level of the Demon Cave. Since the Yin Qi has appeared, the Demon Cave arrived in a day and a half. This is really unexpected. This time, don't worry If you tell me, even the brothers don't have a holiday anymore. Your Excellency, please leave first. Don't worry about those relatives and friends. My father will not neglect them." After that, he left.
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you said it was detected temporarily. Didn't the devil's cave men register it early?"
Although the Yin Qi has only been detected now, there are usually signs before the arrival of the devil's cave. The inspection department should have discovered it long ago. Even if the exact time cannot be found, the location should be circled first. It is not too early to prepare a month in advance. .
Che Lin said solemnly: "It was indeed an accident. Although disasters often occur, the Demon Cave is still under control. There was a disaster today..." He felt that there was no time to talk nonsense and wanted to leave again.
At this time Tang Zhao said: "I'll go too."
Che Lin looked back in astonishment and said, "Huh?"
For a moment, Che Lin felt that Tang Zhao was looking for trouble, and his evaluation of him was lowered.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, I respect you very much. If this is a Jianghu matter, even if it is my personal matter, I will definitely invite you to go with me, but this is a business matter. The Prosecution and Prefecture Division is working, and it is not convenient for outsiders to follow."
Tang Zhao said: "I have no intention of prying into private matters. I only go there for official business. This Demon Cave is unusual, and the place where it comes is also unusual. In that direction -" he pointed to the southwest, "Fifty miles away, it is the border of Yunzhou. The Demon Cave, It's on the border between Yunzhou and Youzhou. When you rushed there, someone from Yunzhou probably also passed by. The two states are jointly handling the case."
Che Lin only felt that his head was big, his direction sign could not accurately indicate the distance, and his sense of Yin Qi was not very clear. Only then did he realize that this trouble was actually at the border between the two states.
Border...joint investigation?
The states jointly handle the case, and who knows who handles this troublesome matter.
Yunzhou, in particular, is incompatible with Youzhou in all aspects. The two sides dislike each other. Although they are not enemies yet, it is very difficult for them to cooperate with each other.
However……
"Handling the case with Yunzhou is also the matter of the District Prosecution Department. Why do you want to follow me?"
Tang Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I introduce you? We are colleagues, and I am also from the District Prosecution Department. Yunzhou District Prosecution Department Tang Zhao will handle the case together with the Chezhen envoy."
It's just a little older than your official position.
On the lobby.
"Master Sui, come here, let me toast you with another drink." Mr. Che toasted enthusiastically.
Sui Dahai forced a smile and said: "That's too polite. How can I take this responsibility? I'll do whatever you want." After that, he drank another drink.
Beside him, Sui Feng, Qiao Shuanglian, and Changqiu sat down one after another.
Just a moment ago, they were on the stage, being lined up and scrutinized. The host might see one of them as a thief at any time, so the servants would pounce on them like wolves and tigers, drag them away, strip them naked, and search them, but now they include Mr. Che was included, and all the young and old of the Che family were sitting with him. Sui Dahai was invited to take the first seat. Everyone in the Lotus class took their seats and took turns serving toasts and serving dishes.
At this time, the banquet in the hall should be reopened, but in fact the atmosphere was awkward. Eight people out of ten were peeking at the table at the end, and only a few gluttons were still chewing.
All of this is of course because of the powerful man who had just caught a glimpse.
Tang Zhao did not reveal his relationship with the Sui family, but he had just met Mr. Sui backstage without anyone behind his back. So many pairs of eyes were watching, including the Che family's servants, how could he hide it?
Seeing that Che Lin and Tang Zhao wouldn't be back for a while, Mr. Che couldn't wait any longer. He continued the banquet while inviting the Sui family to sit down. Seeing that there were female relatives in the Sui family class, he quickly pulled his wife and daughter out to accompany the guests. Che Yu was the protagonist of the banquet one moment, and the next moment he had become a supporting character accompanying Sui Feng.
Old man Sui here is quite experienced and can still control himself, but the other young ones, even Qiao Shuanglian, are a little at a loss. Although she can talk and do things, she always pleases others. When has she ever been surrounded and flattered like this? Not to mention Sui Feng, every pore showed discomfort.
While Mr. Che was toasting, he wanted to inquire about Tang Zhao's background. To make his eldest son so respectful and fearful, he must be an unusually strong man. It's a pity that he is a layman and doesn't know the difference between a swordsman and a swordsman. He doesn't know as much as Che Yu, so he doesn't get the point when asked.
In fact, no matter how clever he asked, it was useless, because the Sui family knew nothing. The Sui family didn't even know about swordsmen, let alone swordsmen. Not to mention that they wanted to keep Tang Zhao a secret, but even if they didn't want to, they couldn't say anything. Others wouldn't believe it - when they separated five years ago, Tang Zhao was still a powerless elementary school student.
Master Che spent a long time, and the only thing he knew was that Old Man Sui and Tang Zhao were both from Yunzhou.
Seeing that this artist must be a country bumpkin who got lucky, Mr. Che was envious in his heart: He is destined to have a noble person, why can't I be so lucky?
At that moment, he ordered someone to take out several plates of things, all of which were gold and silver. He said, "Mr. Sui, please accept this offer."
Sui Dahai hurriedly waved his hands and said: "This can't be done! No reward for no merit. Our choir has already received enough reward from you. How can we receive so much money for nothing? I can't take it, and I feel uncomfortable."
Mr. Che thought that he was just pretending, he repeatedly gave in, and even made a fierce face, pretending to be angry, but he didn't know that Sui Dahai was determined not to accept it, and it was not a lie.
Mr. Che was sweating from exhaustion and said with disdain in his heart: Country bumpkins don't know good and bad, and they have no chance of getting rich. But he couldn't force it, so he had to sit down with a smile.
Sui Feng whispered to Shuanglian: "Dad did a great job, this is not..."
Without saying a word, Shuanglian stomped down, causing him to swallow half of his words. Shuanglian stared, and whispered through her teeth: "Shut up, how many idioms do you know? How dare you mix them?"
If she hadn't stopped him in time, would Sui Feng have said "ill-gotten gains" and not be heard?
Or perhaps Sui Feng's original intention was not to say that the Che family's money was dirty, but that he would not take advantage of the windfall, which was the same as what old man Sui said about "no reward for no merit".
But Shuanglian knew that their ideas were fundamentally different. Sui Feng had a fatalistic character and really felt that he could not take anything he deserved. Although he was an entertainer, he had a chivalrous character.
Sui Dahai didn't want it, probably out of caution. This old leader usually relies on caution when traveling around the world. He touches his head when a leaf falls. How dare he accept the old master's things? Even if the eldest master doesn't mind, what if Tang Zhao does?
The more powerful Tang Zhao showed himself, the less Sui Dahai dared to do anything without permission. I'm afraid Tang Zhao will have any objections.
But Shuanglian felt that the money should be acceptable. She had met many scholars, some of whom were righteous and some were sanctimonious. There are those who understand more as they read, and there are those who become confused as they read.
In her opinion, Tang Zhao seemed to be the kind of person who could read the book thoroughly and understand it clearly. He reads a lot but is not pedantic, and he definitely knows how to adapt to situations. Don't tell me whether the old man took ill-gotten gains or not, so what if he took them from his own initiative?
If you say you are soft on others, will you owe the car owners favors from now on?
What a joke. The Che family treated everyone as thieves for no reason, rushed to the stage to interrogate and humiliate them, and used money to make amends. Isn't it polite? After receiving the money, they were generous enough to forgive, so how could they still owe someone a favor?
If it were her, she would accept it and give a share to the artists on the same stage. She said it was the Che family's money to make amends. It was justified. She would take the rest. Who could say no?
After taking the money, she wanted to build a theater with solid bricks and tiles. It was neither a circle painted with lime on the floor nor a tent with ventilation on all sides. It was a real big theater. She is the boss and the pillar. You can act whenever you want, and you can act whatever you want. Anyone who boos will be kicked out. If anyone winks and says obscene words, let the bodyguard stuff his mouth with a sock...
She was imagining things here, and the atmosphere there was neither awkward nor awkward. Then she heard a roar, and countless prosecutors gathered from all around and rushed out.
If there was a relaxed atmosphere when they were on duty just now, and being harsh to others was just superficial, now it was as if someone pressed a switch, everyone looked solemn, and even their steps changed.
Mr. Che was shocked when he saw this scene. He was also a family member of the District Prosecution Department. How could he not know what this meant? This represents a mission and represents danger! He quickly grabbed an acquaintance and said, "Xiao Song, you..."
Xiao Song said: "I have to go on official business!" Without going into details, he then said: "Sir, I'm afraid the banquet is out of date. You can arrange for the guests to disperse, but it's best to keep them here. After all, there is danger in the sky. It’s unpredictable, this should be one of the safest places in the city.”
