After a long time, Mr. Zhang's expression relaxed: "I saw the right person, you are indeed the best among people. I have a question, are you from the Southern School or the Northern School?"
"Of course it's the Northern faction. If the old man can ask this question after he has thoroughly investigated me, wouldn't it make the younger generation laugh at you?"
"That's right, I'm confused." Mr. Zhang picked up the tea next to him and drank half of it.
Looking at that kind face, I said: "Old man, were you the one who arranged Uncle Gen's affairs?"
Mr. Zhang denied it.
I refused to give up: "I think that in the north, the person who can make the fulcrum of the Jiang family so willing to be driven must be a person of high moral character and respect. But looking at the north and south of the Yellow River, only you, Mr. Zhang, have this weight; and so does Uncle Gen. He went out from Shunde, so this person is almost inseparable from you."
"Can't he do it because of money?"
"He didn't even look at the gold and silver treasures in the main tomb, which shows that this person is not short of money, and he has been saying that he wants to get rich along the way. In my opinion, he is trying to hide something. He has tried to balance me and Wang Yuzhi over and over again. Your strength is actually because you are afraid that I will die on the way, right?"
After I said that, I stared into Mr. Zhang's eyes.
A person's expression and mouth may deceive, but his eyes will never deceive.
Mr. Zhang said: "Li Shang, how can you have such a deep city at your age? You are right, Lao Gen is indeed my person, not only the trip to the Tomb of the Three Kings, but also the cleaning of the Tomb in Zhushan I was the one who planned everything behind the scenes, and I've been paying attention to you since you started stationed in Ghost Street."
"Why?"
"Because of the drug store, people without any means or ability in the world dare not open it. But you opened it and named it Tianxia, which shows that you are very satisfied with your own strength and think you can control the world. , so I wanted to give you a try; unfortunately, I never found the opportunity, until the Xiao family girl entered your medicine shop and asked you to treat Xiao Wanfa, I knew the opportunity had come."
"So, Liu Dapeng and his son were also instructed by you?"
"Yes, I found out that you had dinner with this Zhu Huan. I guess you have a good relationship, so I tried to trick Liu Dapeng and his son. I didn't expect that you actually took the bait."
Mr. Zhang smiled and told a series of his arrangements.
My back felt cold when I heard that. It turned out that I was being targeted as soon as I showed up. No wonder Lao Li kept repeating a sentence to me, that is, nothing is accidental, it is either man-made or...
It’s also man-made.
I said nothing, waiting for his next words.
Mr. Zhang drank the remaining half of the tea and said: "Actually, the purpose of testing you like this is to allow you to complete a difficult task. Only those with strong brains and skills can have a chance to complete this task. Of course, I I will also give you a choice. If you are unwilling to help, I will also give you a large sum of money as compensation for my apology."
As he spoke, he changed the topic: "But I think you won't refuse this matter, because our purpose is the same, both for the Zhang family treasure."
I raised my eyebrows: "The old man has a close relationship with the Jiang family?"
"Mr. Jiang family, Mr. Jiang Zhennan and I have been friends for many years. When the Jiang family was in trouble, I was entangled in trivial matters abroad and could not help, so I always felt a little uneasy in my heart. Over the years, I have been asking around. Xi Wenwen found out the whereabouts of this Zhang family treasure, so I want to find this family treasure and find out why my old friend was attacked by the entire Jianghu group back then."
"As you say, do you know the whereabouts of the Zhang family's treasure?"
"I know, but this place is too dangerous. In the past ten years, I have sent no less than ten groups of people down there, and no one has survived." Mr. Zhang took off his gold-rimmed glasses, rubbed his eyes and put them back on: "Although I am convinced that you I won’t refuse, but I have to give you time to think about it. After all, you may not be able to come back. The wealth you have now is enough for you to live for several lifetimes, so you have to think carefully.”
I said: "You are always right. At first I thought the Zhang family treasure was a great thing and extremely valuable. But after I got two pieces, I realized that in terms of real value, they are not as good as a pair of Tang Dynasty treasures." Calligraphy and painting, so I don’t want to get into this muddy water again; it just so happened that Zhou Ya, the doorkeeper, came to me and asked me to be her husband, so I’ll just eat soft rice in a down-to-earth manner."
"That's fine, but business cannot be done without mercy. If there is anything I can do to help, just ask. I appreciate you."
"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, old man, you just said you would give me a large sum of money as compensation..."
"It will be credited to your account within three days, and it will definitely be more than what you have now." After finishing speaking, Mr. Zhang stretched his body and said, "I'm old now, and I really can't stay up late."
"Thank you very much, old man." I laughed and stood up to say goodbye.
Outside the manor, Lao Sun was already waiting in his car.
As the car drove out of South Street, I said, "You guessed right. He was indeed behind the scenes because he wanted to select a group of elites to explore a large tomb. What do you think about this?"
Lao Sun looked embarrassed: "Shopkeeper, there is something I want to tell you."
"Huh?" I frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Does Xiao Wu want to leave?"
"Yes, shopkeeper, that's all I can say. Xiao Wu feels that San'er has followed you through life and death, so you shouldn't ignore him; but Xiao Wu is still young, so don't be like him..."
"Okay! Old Sun, you don't need to share the money I asked you to sell before. You can keep it and give it to San'er when you see him later. It will be regarded as compensation for him as the shopkeeper. Then you take Xiao Wu Let's go." I looked out the window and saw the white fish belly on the horizon: "Old Sun, do you also think I am a cold-blooded person?"
Lao Sun stuttered for a while and said: "The shopkeeper..."
"Let's drive." I interrupted him and closed my eyes.
Everyone is a passer-by in other people's lives, either for a moment or for a lifetime, but whether it is the former or the latter, they always have to leave.
The only difference is the length of time.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the medicine store.
I got out of the car and sat on the curb: "Old Sun, Xiaowu is a kind-hearted child and is not suitable for running around. You are a bit incompetent as a father."
Lao Sun's face changed drastically, and he finally lowered his head: "Shopkeeper, I'll be back after I've settled Xiao Wu. You wait for me."
I didn't say anything and waved to him.
Lao Sun started the car again and asked me: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask, why did you choose to enter Jianghu?"
I said: "We will never be younger than today, so I want to see the mist in this world while I am young."
