"What's my true identity? I'm just a beggar..."
Mr. Zhao scratched his head, but after a moment of silence, he knew that his acting skills had been seen through, so he had no choice but to sigh and said seriously:
"This little brother, to be honest, I am... an agent of the Wuzhou County government office."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong and Yu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
The policeman of the Wuzhou government office is now disguised as a beggar.
There must be some unknown secret hidden in this.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong continued to ask:
"Since you are an agent of the government, why did you dress up as a beggar and escape from Wuzhou City?"
"this……"
There was a look of hesitation on Master Zhao's face. But he only hesitated for a moment, then sighed again:
"Little brother, you don't know something!"
"Did you know that a few days ago, the Xu family, one of the four major families in Jiangnan, surrendered to the government?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong's eyes lit up slightly, but he shook his head gently.
"I don't know about this, so I would like to ask the old man to tell me."
Mr. Zhao pretended to describe the scene that day, and what he described was a vivid image.
But then, he changed the topic and said:
"As you all know, I am a police officer with a lot of seniority. There are some benefits. Of course, those who are closest to the water are the first to win."
Speaking of this, his face showed a hint of physical pain.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a piece of extremely beautifully carved jade from his arms.
He handed the jade in his hand to Yang Dong and said:
"As one of the four major families, the Xu family naturally has a rich heritage. Naturally, there are a lot of good things in the Xu family."
"I was just obsessed with money for a moment, so I secretly took some treasures without controlling my hands."
"Unexpectedly, I was reported by the people below. So I had no choice but to take the baby and run away."
After hearing Mr. Zhao's explanation, Yang Dong couldn't help but believe it.
After he pondered for a moment, he continued to ask:
"Why did the Xu family choose to surrender?"
This time, Mr. Zhao did not hesitate for a moment and said directly:
"It seems to be due to some tax and bank case. I don't know the details."
Tax case!
Yang Dong's heart thumped, but on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and calm.
"Did the chief official of Wuzhou City say how to deal with the Xu family?"
Master Zhao heard this and shook his head decisively.
"I'm just a small policeman, how can I know the arrangements of the chief officer?"
After saying this, he looked at Yang Dong cautiously,
As a veteran who has been involved in official circles for many years, he has already guessed the identity of the man in front of him.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively:
"Little brother, do you have any other questions?"
"If there is no problem, please send me out of the city as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, if those people catch me, I will be in big trouble!"
When Yang Dong heard this, there was only a slight hesitation in his eyes, then he nodded gently and said:
"I feel ashamed to say it. It was indeed my fault that I waited too long and disturbed the old man."
But then he changed the topic and said:
"But as a police officer, it is a serious crime to commit theft while in custody."
"So do you think I will send you to the government or send you out of the city?"
Master Zhao's face turned green when he heard this.
Are you kidding me, sending myself back to the government? What's the difference between that and letting yourself die?
"Young man, if you don't respect martial ethics, you are just trying to kill the donkey...ah, you are ungrateful!"
"Okay, okay."
Yang Dong waved his hand and was about to speak, but Yu Xiaoyu beside him spoke first and asked:
"By the way, you were outside the city just now. Why did you say that if we came to Wuzhou City to do business, we might end up losing our lives?"
"Wuzhou City has prosperous commerce, isn't it a place where merchants thrive?"
"Is it possible...that you are hiding something else from us?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhao almost wanted to die.
You said everything was fine just now, why did you say so many words?
It's better now. Wuzhou City, which had finally escaped, is now back to where it started.
It also aroused the suspicion of the factory owner from Beijing.
Zhao Sanfeng, Zhao Sanfeng, why is your life so miserable?
Is it so difficult to escape unscathed?
At this moment, Mr. Zhao's heart was about to collapse. But on the surface, he still managed to look calm and began to make up random things.
"Ahem, I think since you two know about the Xu family's surrender, you should also know the status of the Xu family in Jiangnan."
"This is one of the four serious families!"
"How big the business of the Xu family is. Since my younger brother is a businessman, he naturally knows better than me."
"But the collapse of such a building will naturally cause chaos in the market. You two should know the truth better than me."
At this point, he sighed slightly.
"That's why I said it's not a good opportunity for you to come to Wuzhou City now."
"If you listen to my advice, it's better to leave earlier to avoid losses!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu and Yang Dong looked at each other.
After a moment, the two nodded slightly, and Yang Dong said:
“I see, it’s really troublesome for the old man!”
"Xiaoyu, send the old man outside the city and arrange for someone to protect him secretly."
When he heard that Yang Dong wanted to arrange for someone to protect him secretly, Mr. Zhao did not express any objection.
Anyway, you are protecting yourself. If you have more people protecting you, you will be safer.
As for the rest...
As long as he can escape from the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, the world will be vast and he will have no shortage of money, and his life will naturally be very nourishing!
When he thought about the days when he would become a wealthy man in the future, Mr. Zhao suddenly felt happy.
So much so that he didn't even notice that the inn's waiter was bringing a pot of hot tea.
"How come you, a dog official, are hiding in our inn!?"
Suddenly the waiter exclaimed, shattering all Mr. Zhao's illusions.
Mr. Zhao was startled at first, and then his heart beat wildly.
Damn it, got recognized!
Damn it, my life is over...
But even so, he still wanted to struggle.
"Ahem, waiter, did you admit the wrong person?"
"I'm just a beggar, not a dog official!"
"you……"
The waiter was about to speak when suddenly an arm stretched out from the room and lifted Mr. Zhao in.
Yu Xiaoyu gave a few pieces of silver at the right time and said with a smile:
"Little brother, did you admit the wrong person just now?"
When the waiter saw Yinzi, his expression was slightly startled.
But the next moment, he took the money without leaving a trace and said with a smile:
"This guest officer, I think I have mistaken him. The main reason is that the old beggar just now is indeed somewhat similar to our chief officer in Wuzhou."
