The Rogue Remains

Chapter 24

In the early morning, the air was slightly damp, and the streets of Ningcheng hadn't yet become lively. Occasionally, a few people who got up early to work yawned and walked on the street.Small shops along the street opened one after another, ready to wait for the first batch of customers.Shopkeeper Wang was sitting on a wooden chair, propped up on the table with his hands, and closed his eyes, planning to go back to sleep.The business of his small restaurant is good, and it will be busy after a while, and it must be a busy day. There are staff in the store watching, so he might as well take a good rest now.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Wang gradually became drowsy and was about to fall into a sweet dream.Suddenly, a human voice pulled him back abruptly.

He raised his head in displeasure, and saw a man in unusual clothes enter the store.As soon as his eyes lit up, he could tell at a glance that a distinguished guest had come to his door with his piercing eyes that had been cultivated for many years.

He hurriedly put on a smile and went up to meet him: "Guest officer, what do you want?"

The man's aura was not aggressive, nor was his face vicious, but shopkeeper Wang felt that he was being suppressed by something, and he didn't dare to offend easily, and he didn't even dare to stare at his face.

He was dressed in dark clothes that seemed inconspicuous, but the material was excellent. Shopkeeper Wang was a little puzzled, why did such a person come to this small restaurant if he didn't appear in Guangfu Inn?

Just listen to the man say: "Shopkeeper, bring me some porridge."

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly nodded and said yes, and the speed of Zhang Luo was twice as fast as before.

When the food was brought to the table, the man moved his chopsticks unhurriedly.

They all have a pair of chopsticks and a mouth. Why do other people have a different temperament when eating?Shopkeeper Wang thought, there is a huge gap between these people.Thinking of the gangster Song Boss who came here every now and then to eat and drink, he ate as if he had been hungry for half his life!

Standing far away, shopkeeper Wang had the courage to secretly look at the person's appearance. He looks good, with strong facial features, and is very handsome, but he doesn't remember that there is such a number one person in Ningcheng?Could it be a foreigner?Shaking his head, he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and concentrated on doing his own business.

Gradually, the restaurant became lively.All kinds of people came in, and the seats gradually filled up.But no one dared to approach that person.

At this time, I heard a voice coming from afar, and shopkeeper Wang suddenly grimaced.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang, the business is good! I'm so hungry, I'm still going as usual... Oh no, I want double servings this time... Hey, there will be double servings in the future! Hurry up and wrap it up for me! "

Shopkeeper Wang's creases suddenly doubled, he stared straight, and stretched out two fingers tremblingly: "Double, double?"

Hey, the way the dripping blood cut the flesh made Boss Song feel his teeth hurt.He fumbled in his pocket, found a few copper coins, and said, "Isn't that what you're trying to do? It's not that I won't give it to you. Take the money and go to work quickly!"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the two copper coins handed over, and greeted the eighteen generations of his ancestors, whether he accepted it or not, he felt aggrieved.

——Finally accepted.

After all, it is money!

Watching Shopkeeper Wang leave with a tangled expression, Boss Song looked around and saw that there was only one table left in the entire restaurant, so he sat down and saw the rich or expensive man sitting in front, and smiled: " Look at the shopkeeper, with such a small amount of money, he is about to cry with joy."

The man stopped his chopsticks and asked, "I didn't see how happy he was, but I thought he was too angry to speak out."

Boss Song raised his eyebrows, "Really? Brother, there is something wrong with your eyes. You must have missed it!"

"Oh? So far, no one has doubted my eyes."

"It's hard to tell, maybe you've read it wrong!"

The man was silent for a moment, then shook his head for a long time, amused: "It's all wrong...it makes sense, maybe."

At this moment, Boss Song seemed to have remembered something, stood up, and shouted inside: "Shopkeeper Wang, my wife doesn't like too sweet food, and don't want bean paste stuffing in the buns!"

After a while, shopkeeper Wang reluctantly responded.

"You are considerate of your wife."

"Cough." Boss Song choked on the "wife" and said, "That's right, my daughter-in-law likes to be clean and picky eaters, and she tends to lose her temper when things go wrong."

The man wondered: "Then you still tolerate her like this?"

Boss Song took it for granted: "I just love to see the way he loses his temper at me, and waits for me to smooth his hair when he blows his hair. Once he smooths his hair, he will be very obedient." After a pause, he came to a conclusion: "My daughter-in-law is It's for coaxing."

"Then if she has a good temper and follows you everywhere, won't you be able to coax her? If you can't coax her, isn't she your wife?"

"..." Boss Song imagined Li Yanming's low-browed and pleasing appearance, and he trembled, goosebumps came up.I also thought, this person's thinking is really unique, and he can turn to this point.

"It's not easy. Tease him, make him anxious, and comfort him before he turns his face. No matter how good-tempered he is, he will get angry. However, your question is strange. There is no such thing as 'if' or 'if'." This kind of problem, if you don’t like a person, what he does is wrong, but if you look right, straw can be a treasure.”

Hearing this, the man nodded, and his expression slowly became tinged with loneliness: "I have always liked beautiful jade, and I accidentally got a beautiful stone. The stone is mixed with beautiful jade, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a stone."

Boss Song felt that the topic had changed too quickly, and asked, "And then?"

The man's voice was low, and amidst the yelling of traffickers and pawns, there was a hint of loneliness: "I always only like beautiful jade, so I threw that stone away."

Boss Song felt that the story was more ordinary than Shopkeeper Wang's folds, so he smiled dryly.

The man also smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

At this time, shopkeeper Wang packed the food and came over, and when he handed the food to him, even Boss Song felt sorry for him.Shopkeeper Wang smiled subtly: "Let's go."

Boss Song weighed the weight, nodded in satisfaction, and didn't plan to wait any longer.

At this time, the man stopped him and said, "To tease too much is to hurt."

Boss Song looked at him calmly: "Compare your heart to your heart. If you really care, the two of you have one heart. If the other party hurts, you will know it yourself, and you won't overdo it."

The man was stunned, unable to speak for a while, Boss Song was in a hurry to go back, and didn't want to make more arguments, so he turned and left after saying this.

When they got home, they saw Li Yanming waiting inside with an anxious expression on his face. Seeing him coming back, he hurried up to meet him.

"What happened?"

"There are people in the back mountain. I opened the window and saw a faint figure. That person seemed to have noticed me, and disappeared after a while."

Boss Song asked people to sit down first, and took out two breakfasts, and opened the oiled paper bag, which was still steaming.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Li Yanming saw that he was not in a hurry, nor was he worried. He was hungry, so he grabbed a bun, bit it, pushed his tongue, and spit it out again, disgusted: "What's the smell, Tired to death."

Boss Song took a look at the stuffing inside, quickly took the bun from Li Yanming's hand, and handed him another bun, "This is stuffed with vegetables, you eat this."

Li Yanming took it over, and Boss Song glanced at the half-bitten red bean paste bun, licked his upper lip, and deliberately bit down on the tooth marks on it. Li Yanming.

Li Yanming choked, "Can you eat well!"

Seeing that Li Yanming's ears were turning red, Boss Song knew that he was about to provoke him, so he accepted it as soon as he was good, and became honest.

After eating something, Boss Song said: "The group of people outside are from Lu Qiyu's side."

Seeing Li Yanming's surprised look, he said: "You think that guy came here for a walk when he was full. He dragged us into the water openly and secretly, and said that the counterfeit would come to us soon. In fact, he was following us. Say hello, he will send someone to monitor the movement."

"...Who can understand the backs and forths between you and Lu Shenzhang? How can he be sure that you can understand him when he puts it so euphemistically? It is indeed the friendship of the past ten years."

Boss Song didn't know why, but he felt a sour smell, "Tsk tsk, I also think that Lu Qiyu can't speak human words, and he doesn't feel dizzy when he twists and turns!"

Li Yanming said: "Actually, there is one thing that I have been unable to figure out. King Younan and Li Guang are both powerful officials in the court, so who is better at chess? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, why are the two of them living in peace?

"I didn't understand at first, but... Cough, someone told me that half a year ago, King Younan was in trouble in the court, and he was so beautiful because of Li Guang's support."

Li Yanming thought for a while, "There are so many things going on in the court, I, a layman, can't understand them."

Boss Song said with a smile: "Yes, but this bad day is probably going to pass soon."

"How to say?"

"I feel that this matter will end soon. I have a vague guess, but I'm not sure... I can't say it, and it doesn't make sense... Strange, really strange."

Li Yanming saw his puzzled look, and kicked his foot, "Don't think too much if you can't figure it out, there is only a thin line between whether it makes sense or not. gone."

Boss Song suddenly looked over, "What did you say?"

Li Yanming asked suspiciously: "...Maybe I thought of it?"

"Ahead!"

"There is only a line between the connection and the failure?"

"Yes, yes!" Song Boss looked suddenly enlightened, and kissed him deeply, "Ayan, you are so smart!"

Li Yanming didn't think he understood anything, he only knew that Song's surname kissed him without wiping his mouth!
