On the eighth day of August, in Fuyang City, He Nan...and Chi Zebao. The two people were sitting in the best wing of the restaurant, staring at each other, looking at each other but not saying anything, while the rest of the people were standing behind them.
The two sides of this chase and escape, cat-and-mouse game finally met at the "end point" where Chi Zebao and the fifth prince had expected, and where He was unable to escape, but the process was a bit ridiculous to talk about.
The most splendid restaurant in Xiyang City, Jinjin Pavilion, is far from ordinary restaurants in the capital in terms of decoration and service. However, when it comes to the price of the food and wine, it is not inferior at all. It is no wonder that the name of this restaurant is "Sale gold". However, even at such an expensive price, there is still music and entertainment here every night, and it is always packed with guests and friends all year round. The reason is also very simple. Fuyang City is located in the northernmost region of Sheng Kingdom. If the locals want to taste southern cuisine, they can only come to Pinjin Pavilion. Only Pinjin Pavilion in Fuyang City has this. We have the financial resources and ability to transport raw materials from far away here and keep the quality and freshness, so the high price is reasonable.
He Nan Shaoxiao had never set foot in Jinjin Pavilion before he left home. Five or six years later, when he returned to his hometown, he brought Wei Kui and Yu Ruyi here to celebrate the successful conclusion of his grand escape. , and specifically emphasized that "I pay for it", so Wei Kui and Yu Ruyi readily agreed.
Not only did He Nan not expect it, but Chi Zebao, who had been looking for news about He Nan in the north following the instructions of the fifth prince, also did not expect that the two of them would bump into each other in Jinjin Pavilion, and it would be such an embarrassing scene.
It is said that He Nan and the others had just sat down on the second floor of Pinjin Pavilion. Before they could even order food, He Nan felt something strange in his stomach. Perhaps he felt like taking a break, so he left Wei Kui and Yu Ruyi behind and ran to the latrine.
Just as He Nan was about to get in, he saw someone in the latrine pulling up his pants and slowly walking out. He Nan felt really unbearable, so he said, "I borrowed it."
The other party also raised his head and met He Nan's eyes, and the two of them immediately looked at each other.
"Hello...Hello?" The other party tilted his mouth and rubbed his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
"Mr. Chi." He Nan was shocked and surprised in his heart, but his expression didn't change much - he was already covered in shit, and his expression was a little distorted, and it wouldn't change much if he changed again.
He Nan had met Chi Zebao when he was working in Shanhe Mansion, so he naturally knew each other. Tianbianwei and Shanhefu always bumped into each other when they were arresting and interrogating court officials. One time, Chi Zebao wanted to pick someone up from He Nan, and the two had a conversation. Chi Zebao still remembers He Nan's stubbornness. Even if he moved out of his official position to suppress others, He Nan would not let go. In the end, the matter was settled. Later, the fifth prince ordered Chi Zebao to monitor He Nan, and the two men met again.
That day, the fifth prince, who was aliased as Bai Wugeng, had just come out of the Xiangsi Tower. Chi Zebao, who was disguised as the Second Master Ghost, immediately ordered his troops and set off from the capital to the east, west, north, south, and he himself rushed all the way to Henan. His hometown, Xiyang City, was waiting for the opportunity. After all, He Nan is most likely to return to his hometown, so of course it is safest for him to take charge of this land himself.
Chi Zebao had only arrived in Fuyang City a month ago. He even disguised himself to hide his identity and went to He Nan's original address to inquire about it, but he didn't get any information, so he hid in Fuyang City. Chi Zebao rented out the best wing in the Golden Pavilion and used it as a base to bribe people from all walks of life and conduct intelligence exchanges with them.
This inquiry really allowed him to find out some clues - there was a quack magician who was proficient in the science of prophecy and had just arrived from Luoyan County in Fuyang County a few days ago, and his "colleague" in Luoyan County had obtained the information. I learned that a young young man named He Nan once made a divination there, but the results were not satisfactory. In the end, he was forcibly expelled by his colleague.
When Chi Zebao heard that the He Nan described by the other party was consistent with the He Nan in his own impression, he knew that what he had expected was good, but he didn't know whether He Nan went to the west along Luoyan County or turned north, and then turned to the north. After compiling some miscellaneous information, I also learned that He Nan was indeed going back to Fuyang. As for why Chi Zebao no longer walked back from Xiyang, he was blocked by people along the way - returning to the capital one day later would give him an extra day of leisure and food, not to mention what if something went wrong along the way and he missed it. Woolen cloth? It's better to just wait for work in Fuyang County.
It's just that Chi Zebao never expected that he and He Nan would meet on this occasion.
"Old Wei! Come down and help!" Seeing that Chi Zebao was still in shock, He Nan turned around and ran away. While running, he pulled his neck and shouted for Wei to come down and help. He didn't even shit anymore - he was about to die. Now, why do you care about shit and piss?
When Chi Zebao heard that He Nan was calling for someone, he also shouted and called for his men to come out and arrest him.
Wei Kui jumped down from the window on the second floor, and the elite Tianbian guards brought by Chi Zebao also fell down from the wing room on the third floor with a roar. These four were all dressed in black robes and hair. The Tianbian guards dressed in iron masks immediately surrounded Wei Kui and He Nan in the center.
Yu Ru heard that He Nan shouted for help, and heard a noise outside, so he turned out of the restaurant and ran into this tense scene.
"Hey..." Chi Zebao broke the tense atmosphere, "I'm not here to kill you. We can sit down and have a good talk."
"Really or not..." He Nan was squatting on the ground, holding his belly with both hands, and responded with a suspicious look on his face.
Chi Zebao coughed twice in embarrassment: "If you want to go to the toilet, go in first. We will talk slowly after you go." Chi Zebao did not intend to kill He Nan. He sent out the The three culprits only had temporary murderous intentions because of their lust, and the fifth prince had specifically told him that the "best" was to bring He Nan back alive, so this "best" actually equaled "must". , otherwise I might have to be buried with He Nan.
Upon hearing this, He Nanru was amnesty, and he hurriedly got into the hut through the path taken away from Chi Zebao. A moment later, a pleasant "Ah..." and several crisp sounds came from the hut. "Plop" sound.
"You, go in and take a look." Chi Zebao ordered one of his men to go into the latrine and stare at He Nan to prevent him from escaping by grabbing the wall after untying his big hand.
The masks of the Skybender Guards are all standard and only expose the eyes, nostrils and mouth, so no matter how reluctant the Skybender Guards is, Chi Zebao can't see the other person's expression. Of course, this kind of mask is not good for smell. The protective effect is just that.
Yu Ru noticed that the other party had sent someone into the toilet, fearing that they would be disadvantageous to He Nan, so he winked at Wei Kui through the crowd and motioned for him to follow him to protect He Nan who was "doing business".
And He Nan, who was squatting on the latrine with his neck raised and his waist pouted, was just exerting his strength when he saw two burly people rushing in with their front feet touching each other. He almost frightened him. Sitting on the latrine - you must know that there is a big pit full of feces under the latrine. If you accidentally fall down, you will be "stunned forever".
Of course, it is definitely impossible to leave a name in history. History books are also quite rigorous, and no trivial things will be written in them. This miscellaneous and extremely ironic rare thing will probably be written by a novelist who really has nothing to write about in his own romance story, and it can be regarded as a reminder to future generations - squatting You must squat firmly when the time comes.
Regardless of whether the Tianbian guard could bear the smell in the toilet, Wei Kui leaned in and turned around and walked out, shouting: "Even if this kid is kicked into the cesspit today, I will never do it." Will go in again.”
No matter how thick-skinned He Nan was, he still felt that the smell was a bit too strong at this time. Besides, he had never been watched while going to the toilet - how many people in this world were willing to relieve themselves when someone watched them? Just look at it, how many people are willing to watch others relieve themselves? He also said to the guard in front of him with a little embarrassment: "Otherwise, brother, you'd better turn your face away."
The guard had already had this idea. Before He Nan could finish speaking, he turned his face and covered his mouth and nose with his hands. About a moment later, He Nan's voice came from the toilet to the outside again: "Manager Chi, I have a heartfelt request... I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring toilet paper. I wonder if you still have toilet paper there? Is there any leftover?"
Chi Zebao's face changed when he heard this, and his green face suddenly turned black. However, this request was disgusting at best but not excessive. He really didn't think of any reason to refuse. , he asked his men to deliver toilet paper to He Nan with a dark face.
The Dasheng Empire was a country of civilization and etiquette, and its economy was very developed. Naturally, it was impossible to use "toilet chips" made of wooden sticks and bamboo strips to clean up filth like in ancient times or barbaric places with backward technology. The use of rough paper is both convenient and hygienic. This technical convenience that only the princes and nobles could enjoy in the previous dynasty has become quite popular in this era. It must be said that it is really a great good deed that benefits the people and provides convenience to the people.
At least He Nan is still very grateful to the people who can popularize toilet paper. Otherwise, if it is like the past, he can only use the "toilet chips" that Chi Zebao has used and simply flushed with water. , which is better than toilet paper that can be thrown away after use and does not need to be reused.
While wiping, He Nan also thought about this issue for the first time in his life. If he were still in that era, he would probably rather use his hands than the toilet chips used by others...
The emergence and popularization of toilet paper not only solved the difficulties and urgent needs in people's lives, but also effectively prevented the spread of plague and disease, making an indelible contribution to the growth of the population - it should be remembered as the first meritorious service in the universe. This was the biggest conclusion that He Nan came to after going to the toilet today.
After this great thinker and philosopher defined the "meaning of toilet paper", he also had to face things. As soon as he walked out of the latrine, he met Chi Zebao's cannibalistic eyes.
"He Fu Cheng is indeed as rumored...unruly and informal." Although Chi Zebao is a Jianghu person, but unlike other illiterate Jianghu people, he also likes to read some articles on weekdays, especially Since being recruited by Commander Fu, he has had many opportunities to come into contact with various literati in the court. But after what happened today and He Nan's unusual and unbelievable performance, he was actually at a loss for words. At this time, he considered for a long time before choosing these two words to congratulate Nan in a weird way.
"Mr. Chi is laughing, there are three urgent needs..." He Nan shamelessly continued the conversation.
"Stop talking nonsense..." Chi Zebao really couldn't let He Nan make jokes like this anymore, so he ended the topic forcefully: "Since you saw me today, you must also know what I am here to do, then let's Let's talk about it upstairs." As he said that, he made a "please" gesture.
It has fallen into the opponent's hands, and Chi Zebao has made it clear that he is not here to kill him, so let's talk. He Nan was not just thinking about toilet paper while squatting in the pit. He immediately analyzed Chi Zebao's words carefully, so he had nothing to fear now.
Even if we can't reach an agreement, our fighting power is not empty in a real fight - He Nan is very confident about this.
