Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 50

In my imagination, as a broker who sells news, he is naturally a person with long sleeves, good at dancing, and a slick face, and his temperament should at least be that of a businessman with a smile, but I didn't expect him to be such a domineering man. Reminds me of the protagonist of a movie I watched when I was studying.

"The Lame Man".

This is a man with the temperament of a big brother, and he is very prestigious, which can be known from the awe-inspiring eyes of his subordinates looking at him.

Even that young man, Ah Shui, who made me feel very uncomfortable, didn't dare to move rashly after being stopped by him.

It can be seen that he is a very powerful person.

But such a person, in front of Ma Yi'ao, has a submissive attitude from the very beginning, which makes me very puzzled, but Ma Yi'ao seems to have known it a long time ago, nodded calmly, and then said to me: "Hou Zi, come in with me."

Laowai opened the door, welcomed Ma Yi'ao and me in, and then said to the outside: "Clean it up, how decent is it?"

After the door closed, Lao Wai led us to sit down in front of a mahogany sofa in the room, and then he personally played with the Kung Fu tea set on the huge root carving tea table in front of the sofa, made a cup of tea for Ma Yi'ao and me, and put them in front of us. Stretching out his hand, he said, "Taste it, this is the new Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain, it's a special offering, I managed to get some through my connections."

Sitting on the mahogany sofa, Ma Yi'ao didn't have the aggressiveness just now, but waited patiently for Lao Wai to finish making Kung Fu tea, and then said slowly: "Tea, drink later, I want to listen to the explanation first. "

Lao Wai didn't talk about it anymore, but confirmed with him: "What happened?"

With a cold face, Ma Yi'ao said word by word: "The matter of me looking for the Houtu Lingzhu, why did it spread so widely, did everyone know about it?"

Lao Wai asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Ma Yi'ao spat out four more words: "Ba, Xia, Mi, Jing."

Lao Wai stopped asking, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I also just got the news from my colleagues, I heard that you went to Jiangzhou in Ganxi, where the Baxia Secret Realm is, and some people say that Qiu Wendong, who is the most popular in Ganxi, He Huangquan Yin Dongxing White Paper Fan Huo Dexian also appeared in the secret realm, besides that, someone from the Huo family on Hong Kong Island also appeared there?"

Ma Yi'ao sneered and said, don't show off how well-informed you are in front of me, I just want to know how things about me got out.

Lao Wai licked his blackened lips and said, "Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"

Ma Yi'ao raised his eyebrows and said, what do you think?

Lao Wai said: "If I want to tell a lie, it is naturally that when I was helping you inquire about the Houtu Lingzhu, something went wrong in the channel, and you didn't just do it through my channel. , as far as I know, Huang Qianye is also looking for people to ask about this matter. Before and after contacting, as long as someone is interested, it is not difficult to guess the cause and effect of this, so this matter has nothing to do with me..."

Ma Yi'ao said coldly: "It's a very good explanation. It's very slippery to push [-]. In this way, it has nothing to do with you at all. In this case, why tell me it's a lie? "

Lao Wai sighed and said that because you are too smart, I dare not lie to you.

Ma Yi'ao was unmoved, so let's tell the truth.

Lao Wai said: "Did I mention my nephew to you? That kid was unsteady and tricked someone. I didn't know it at the beginning. After I received the news a day ago, I found it during internal investigations. Immediately." Brother, no matter what, I made a mistake here. No matter what you think, I will admit it. I just ask for one thing-my nephew is pitiful. His mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him. Dad died last year. When he had a conflict with someone, he was hacked to death, and he came to me. I promised my wife that I would take good care of him, so I hope you will spare his life..."

This seemingly vicissitudes of life man, when talking about his wife at this moment, there is a little more tenderness in his eyes.

His frank attitude calmed down my nervous heart.

Obviously, Ma Yi'ao was also affected by his attitude. He was silent for a while, and then said: "This time, we almost broke up in Jiangzhou because of your nephew's bad mouth. You are troublesome, and you have to let him learn a lesson, so long to remember, but since you interceded for him, I don't want to say more. I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. "

Lao Wai hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, I guarantee it with my life."

Ma Yi'ao said again: "Since you have received the news, you should know that the Houtu Lingzhu is now in the hands of Qin Liluo from the Huo family on Hong Kong Island."

what?
Old Wai was a little surprised, and said yes, why haven't I heard of this?

Ma Yi'ao sneered, saying that the Houtu Lingzhu is a legendary innate treasure. For practitioners, it is definitely a sacred product for cultivating the body and washing away dirt. If it were you, would you spread the word about it?
Lao Wai replied: "Of course I understand the truth, but..."

He was a little hesitant and hesitant, but when he saw Ma Yi'ao's sharp eyes, he didn't hide any more, but said: "To tell you the truth, the news I got is that the Empress Earth Spirit Bead has landed on the one beside you." The young man has it."

Ma Yi'ao and I looked at each other with resentment on our faces.

And in my heart, there are ten thousand grass mud horses galloping past.

Ma Yi'ao frowned and said, "Where did the news come from?"

Lao Wai pointed in the direction of the east, and said that it was on the opposite side. Although the guy deliberately hid it and didn't say much, I could feel it. It should be the way from Dongxing, which was deliberately released by Huang Quanyin. news.

really.

Logically speaking, Huang Quanyin is not wrong. After all, I snatched the thing from Qiu Wendong's hands. They didn't know that it was later dropped by Qin Liluo and took it away. Now that they survived from the secret realm When we came out, because of conflicts with Huang Qianye and the companions she had found to help me, it was inconvenient to move in the mainland. The best way to find us is to release the news.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

At that time, there will be a lot of greedy people who hear the news and come to trouble us, and these people, as well as their network, will also be Huang Quanyin's free eyeliner.

It makes sense in theory, but the problem is that we didn't fucking get the Houtu Lingzhu.

This thing beat the drums to pass the flowers, and finally fell into Qin Liluo's hands.

In the end, this pot was actually let us carry it.

Thief uncomfortable!
At first, Lao Wai suspected that I hid the Houtu Lingzhu privately and didn't tell Ma Yi'ao. After learning the truth, he was a little surprised, but he still analyzed it with us a lot.He is an old broker, and he is very proficient in the news on the rivers and lakes, especially in East China. After the two sides put down their guards, they still figured out a lot of logic and reasoning with us.

But these are all details. After we figured out what went wrong, the most important thing we need to do now is to find Qin Liluo.

It's just that Qin Liluo is very mysterious, even Lao Wai, an old world, has no information about her.

After all, the Huo family on Hong Kong Island is also very low-key and mysterious. They have great influence on the island, but there are only a few people who are specially thrown out to deal with Jianghu affairs, and this Qin Liluo is completely new. None of them ever showed up.

If they couldn't find Qin Liluo's whereabouts, they could only find the other two people.

One is Huang Mao Yuchi, and the other is that Xiahou.

Both of these are double surnames.

Lao Wai told us that Xia Hou’s full name is Xia Houke, he is a security consultant hired by the Huo family on Hong Kong Island, and to put it bluntly, he is the guest minister of the ancient gang. A guest of Ke Qing's level naturally has several brushes. It is said that this person is a first-class poisoner, and some people say that he is a snake night crawler, but these information are very detailed, and it is impossible to judge whether it is true or not.

As for Huang Mao Yuchi, this person is called Yuchi Jing, and he has been very active in recent years. He is one of the Huo family's four major activities in Jianghu affairs.

This person's reputation is also polarized. Those who like him say that he is bold and tactful.

Those who don't like him say that he is vicious and mean, and has no law.

Compared with the former, it is better to determine the whereabouts of this person.

Lao Wai chatted with us for more than an hour, and finally confirmed with us that in order to make up for the trouble his nephew caused us, he would provide us with information about Qin Liluo, Xiahouke and Yuchijing for free.

When necessary, he can also send people to accompany us to verify the accuracy of the news.

After talking about it, Ma Yi'ao bid farewell.

Before leaving, he picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp.

I also followed suit, swallowed it in one gulp, and my mouth was full of fragrance.

Tea is good tea.

It will taste better if you drink it hot.

The two said their goodbyes and left the winding warehouse. As they walked out, Ma Yi'ao took a look at the young man guarding the door. He lowered his head, not daring to look at us, and walked out the door to the street. , I recalled the gloomy gaze of that young man, felt uneasy, and said to Ma Yi'ao: "Is there any problem with this old man?"

Ma Yi'ao said that Lao Wai's reputation is very good in the south. Honesty is the foundation of his life, and he is a person who has principles, reputation, and means. , I will talk to him instead of going straight to the door and stabbing him.

I said that I was not targeting him, but just worried about the people below.

Ma Yi'ao knew what I was talking about, and said to me: "Don't worry, Lao Wai has been in the Jianghu for so many years, and he has such a large number of brothers in his hands. How he does things and how he manages people is definitely better than you imagined." He is strong, so this is his business, what we have to do is to wait until he gives us the news when the time comes."

I heard what he said, and nodded without saying anything more.

But I don't know why, when I think of the gloomy gaze of that young man named Zheng Yong, I can't help but feel flustered.

Maybe, I'm too sensitive...
