"Is this the mark of the fresh earth you are looking for?" WuJie squats down and cuts through the weeds to reveal the traces of the fresh soil below.
Xu Shaotang didn't answer Wu Jie's words. He just squatted down and slowly planed down the fresh soil with his hands. When he planed all the fresh soil on the surface, the objects in the pit were completely exposed.
A jar of wine!
And it should be a jar of old wine with some scenery, at least longer than the jar of wine buried by Xu Shaotang.
WuJie looked at the jar of wine in the pit in surprise, looked at Xu Shaotang in wonder, and asked: "how can there be a jar of wine here? Isn't that what you're looking for? "
Xu Shaotang nodded slightly, with a complicated look, covering the soil that had just been planed up again. In his heart, there were all sorts of mixed feelings.
Looking at Xu Shaotang's action, Wu Jie was more puzzled. Xu Shaotang planed and covered the inside. What was he doing? Did he just want to see this jar of wine?
"Let's go!" Xu Shaotang stood up and took a confused look at the distance. His guess has been confirmed. Now he just needs to find the party to confirm.
"This time, really?" Wu Jie asked suspiciously.
Xu Shaotang nodded lonely and said: "really go..."
This time, they really left. Xu Shaotang gave the task of driving to Wu Jie, and he sat on the co pilot thinking about things. Now he is thinking about how to do it.
When the car drove into the city, Xu Shaotang asked Wu Jie to stop and let Wu Jie play his own game.
Wu Jie saw that Xu Shaotang's look was more and more wrong, and asked tentatively, "are you really OK? If you have something on your mind, you can tell me. "
"Don't worry, I'll handle it myself." After Xu Shaotang said something to Wu Jie, he stopped the taxi next to him and said, "go to Zongheng group!"
……
This is Xu Shaotang's second visit to Zongheng group, but the mood gap before and after this is extremely big.
The smiles of the triplets at the front desk are still sweet, and they have a good memory. They know that Xu Shaotang is Qin Zongheng's friend. Watching Xu Shaotang come in, one of them greets him, and the other has already called Qin Zongheng.
Qin Zongheng, who received the call, soon came downstairs. Looking at Xu Shaotang, who looked a little wrong, he asked, "how can I come here when I'm free? I thought you should be very busy these days. "
"Go to your office and say it." Xu Shaotang nodded slightly to Qin Zongheng and stared at him as if he wanted to see through the smiling Qin Zongheng.
Qin Zongheng noticed Xu Shaotang's eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped, giving birth to a bad premonition.
Although in the heart of ups and downs, but Qin Zongheng face did not show, maintain a smile as if nothing had happened, with Xu Shaotang to his office.
Entering Qin Zongheng's office, Xu Shaotang still keeps the kind of eyes that want to see through Qin Zongheng. His eyes like the tip of a needle make Qin Zongheng feel hairy.
"What's the matter? You may as well say it directly. It's uncomfortable for me to look at me like this." Qin Shaotang said as he sat down in front of the tea.
Xu Shaotang went to sit down in front of Qin Zongheng, sighed a little, and asked: "if I guess correctly, you buried that jar of old wine in front of the grave of the alcoholic madman?"
Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Qin Zongheng's hand of making tea was shaking slightly, and the tea spilled out. The surprised color on his face flashed by, and then returned to normal. He nodded slightly and said, "don't you say that he is addicted to wine, and that jar of old wine is also my thanks to him."
"Thank him for what?" Looking at the tea spilled on the tea table, Xu Shaotang said, "thank him for killing Xiayu and avenging Lianxin? Or thank him for not telling the whole story of Gu's murder until he died? Or do you feel guilty about him? "
When Xu Shaotang's words came out, the teapot in Qin Zongheng's hand suddenly stopped. Facing Xu Shaotang's Falcon like eyes, the calm and self-confident look on his face could not be maintained any longer.
"You guessed that?" Qin Zongheng put the teapot in his hand on the tea table. He poured only half a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He put the cup heavily on the table, looked at Xu Shaotang and said: "you deliberately said that he was addicted to alcohol in front of the wine maniac's grave. In fact, it's just to test me, isn't it?"
If Qin Zongheng didn't understand it before, but after Xu Shaotang said his guess, Qin Zongheng had thought of the key point. After all, he still couldn't hide it, even if the alcoholic maniac kept his mouth shut about it.
Originally, he could hide it, but when he saw the body of the alcoholic maniac, even if he was as strong as he was, he could not hide his guilt for the alcoholic maniac.
Xu Shaotang didn't expect Qin Zongheng to admit it so readily. When he was tangled, he admired Qin Zongheng and dared to admit it. In fact, Qin Zongheng could deny it. Even if Xu Shaotang had guessed the whole story, he had no direct evidence to prove his guess."How did you get to know a drunk maniac?" Xu Shaotang asked with a complicated look.
Hearing Xu Shaotang's question, Qin Zongheng looked nostalgic on his sad face. After thinking about it, he said, "we knew each other more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was Qin Zongheng, who was the best in the capital. He wasn't called a wine maniac. He was Hua Qianshu, a free and uninhibited Knight! Yes, it's chivalrous! "
At this point, Qin Zongheng put the word "Xiake" very seriously. It seems that only these two words can stand up to the evaluation of alcoholic maniacs.
After a pause, Qin Zongheng continued: "at that time, although I was the best in the capital, I didn't have no enemies. Many people tried to kill me. Someone tried to assassinate me, but I was saved by a drunken maniac. That's such an old story, but we became friends. Maybe the biggest misfortune in his life was to know my friend ?”
"It's a very old story indeed." Xu Shaotang nodded slightly and said: "the alcoholic madman is indeed a knight. He has a knight's code of conduct in his heart. It's just that the code of conduct of the knight has not brought him any benefits, but has harmed him all his life."
Whether it's Rescuing Qin Zongheng, or self exile for 20 years, or killing Xia Yu in the back, or admitting that he is the murderer of Xia Yu in front of Xia Jiuli, all reveal a kind of chivalrous rule.
People like alcoholic maniac are not used to the world of intrigue. They should live a life of wandering all over the world.
