It was a very comfortable meal. After the meal, Zhao Yue sent Zhao Ding and the others back to school. When he returned to the hotel, Lao Liu and Xiao Ma were already waiting in the hotel lobby.
Seeing Zhao Yue come in, Lao Liu stood up and shouted: "Hey, Lao Zhao, why did you just come back? Xiao Ma and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"We had a meal outside! Let's go to my room and talk!" Zhao Yue greeted as he walked towards the elevator.
Old Liu and Xiao Ma quickly followed, and Old Liu said: "You have eaten and drank enough by yourself, but we are still hungry!"
Zhao Yue turned around and said, "Why are you so stupid? Don't you know how to come back after eating? This is not a serious job. No one pays you wages, but you don't even have food to eat!"
"Oh no, I can't blame you for this. You said we should keep an eye on it, so of course we should keep an eye on it. If we miss something crucial, you don't have to scold us! To be honest with you, I I have never been so careful when I was an official."
Zhao Yue waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's go to the room and talk about it!"
The three of them arrived in the room. Zhao Yue closed the door and said, "Tell me about it. What did you see after being monitored for a whole day today?"
Lao Liu grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and poured the cold tea in the teacup into his mouth. After drinking it, he shouted: "Ah, it's so comfortable, damn, I'm almost dying of thirst! Now I feel better after drinking tea. Let¡¯s talk first! The Japanese side was like ants on a hot pot today. People came in and out very frequently. From time to time, I heard shouting in the villa, as if they were angry. It seemed that the Japanese were anxious. It's no wonder they were anxious. It's been two days, and Liu San and Lu Youpeng have never shown up. It's strange that they are not anxious! In the evening, I saw that old boy Cui Hong going in for a long time before coming out. After he came out, I didn't know where he was wandering around. It took him more than half an hour to go to Lao Tan's house next door, and he stayed at Lao Tan's house for more than an hour before going home. I didn't follow him, so I don't know what they talked about!"
After Zhao Yue heard this, he thought about it and looked at Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma said, "The situation here at Lao Tan's side is similar. People come in and out often. But he is very calm here. In addition, I found a very interesting thing. , in the afternoon I discovered that in addition to us monitoring Lao Tan and the Japanese, there were other people also monitoring them. I believe they also discovered us, but now I can¡¯t figure out who these people are from. These people are very cunning. I wanted to go over and check, but as soon as they saw me walking over, they drove away. I don¡¯t know if they were hiding somewhere else and watching me.¡±
Old Liu asked: "Old Zhao, is it possible that a third party knows about the treasure? And they are also trying to find the treasure?"
Zhao Yue shook his head and said: "You can't say for sure. Who can keep a secret these days? Maybe someone from the Japanese and Lao Tan leaked the news about the treasure. This kind of thing is not uncommon! As long as there is some influence , and who can not be tempted after knowing the news about the treasure? This is a treasure! If you get it, you will save decades of struggle! Even if a powerful person wants to make so much money, it will take generations of hard work. Even gods can't stand it. With the temptation of such a huge amount of wealth, if a few more powerful people get to know the news, hey, wouldn't it be a murderous death? Just wait and see! There will be a good show this time."
"Yes, this matter is a bit tricky. Even if the court gets involved, I guess they won't be able to get it. After all, no one is a vegetarian. Who can not be jealous of such a huge treasure? If the time comes, they will be jealous. Who cares whether you are from the imperial court or not?" Old Liu said, taking a puff of his cigarette.
Zhao Yue nodded and said: "Yes, I would like to remind you, take it easy and don't expose yourself! Otherwise, once they are caught, the consequences will be unpredictable! After all, you are not professional agents, nor are you working for the imperial court. My opinion It¡¯s best for you to quit now, do whatever you did before, and stop thinking about seeking exciting things. This is no joke, and you may lose your life if you don¡¯t do it!¡±¡
Old Liu was indeed a little scared after listening to Zhao Yue's words. He had been an official for decades and had seen some dark things. He was now an idle man. Although his family had some background, what would this background mean when his life was endangered? use? Even if he wanted to ask for help, it was too late! If those people knew his background, it would make him die faster!
Old Liu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd better quit. I'm not young anymore and I can't stand the trouble anymore. What about you, Xiaoma?"
Xiao Ma hesitated and said: "I, I'd better continue!"
Zhao Yue asked: "Oh? You want to continue? Why? How dare you, a single girl, do such an extremely dangerous thing? What are your abilities?"
Xiao Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhao, actually I am the person sent by the imperial court to investigate this matter!"
Zhao Yue looked at Xiao Ma for a while.? Turned around and asked Old Liu: "Old Liu, what's going on? When did I agree to let people from the court join in? You were the one who brought this matter out, right?"
Xiao Ma quickly said: "Mr. Zhao, don't blame Uncle Liu. He was asked when he went to borrow the monitoring equipment from our commander!"
Zhao Yue sighed: "Old Liu, Old Liu, I'm not talking about you. No wonder you are over fifty and still can't make a living. In the end, you become an idler, shaking your head after being asked a few words by others! You, it¡¯s better to stay at home and work in an apartment!¡±
" Lao Liu had no way to refute Zhao Yue's words, but his face turned red with embarrassment and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
At this time, Xiao Ma said: "Mr. Zhao, I know that your identity is not simple. Although I don't know what role you play in this matter, we are in the same trench after all, so I hope you can cooperate with us." After this matter is investigated and the matter is successfully concluded, we will report your achievements to your immediate superior."
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha".
Seeing Zhao Yue laughing exaggeratedly and laughing so wildly, he said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Is it that funny?"
Zhao Yue stopped laughing and asked: "You don't even know my identity and you want me to cooperate with you? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"I have checked your identity, but the information is top secret and only a few people can access it. Although your identity is not simple, you are a member of the imperial court after all, right? As a member of the imperial court, of course you are obliged to cooperate with us to complete this mission. Task!"
Zhao Yue wanted to laugh again, but stopped and asked: "Who said I am from the imperial court?"
Xiao Ma blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Aren't you from the imperial court?"
Zhao Yue shook his head, "Of course not! How could I be from the imperial court? Even if the imperial court wants to use me, I don't want to! Who can afford to use me?"
Xiao Ma looked unbelieving: "Blow it! Who do you think you are? You are not from the imperial court? Then why is your information shown as top secret? In other words, your identity is the highest level of confidentiality within the imperial court and the outside world. of!"
Zhao Yue lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring and asked: "Who said that if your identity is top secret, you must be from the imperial court? You want me to serve a certain person or organization? No one is qualified!"
"Hmph, that's a good tone! So you can really be lawless and no one can control you?"
"Of course, I decide my own destiny. If anyone wants to take care of me, I will immediately give them no chance to regret it!"
"You!" Xiao Ma was so angry that he drew a pistol from his back and pointed it at Zhao Yue, but who knew that his eyes would be blurred and his hands would be empty.
The pistol had appeared in Zhao Yue's hand. Under the gazes of Xiao Ma and Lao Liu, Zhao Yue slowly kneaded the pistol into iron powder and scattered it on the carpet.
Xiao Ma was horrified and said: "You, who are you?"
"This is not what you should ask, and I have no obligation to tell you. When I go back, I will tell you, sir, that people in the court had better not interfere with the treasure. This treasure was snatched from the hands of the common people by the Boxers. It belongs to the common people. Since It is buried deep underground now, so let it be buried forever. If some people intervene for personal gain, and there will be a large number of casualties, don¡¯t blame me for not warning you!¡±¡
Xiao Ma turned pale with anger, "You, you are a threat! Do you dare to threaten the court officials? You are going against the court! There will be no good end for going against the court."
Zhao Yue curled his lips and said: "What's the matter with threats? What can you do to me? What I hate the most is people like you who talk about officialdom. Get out of here now and don't appear in my sight in the future, otherwise I will let you nice!"
When has Xiao Ma ever been bullied like this? He said angrily: "Okay, just wait for me, I still don't believe I can't cure you!"
Zhao Yue smiled and said: "You want to cure me? I will let you never have this chance!" He snapped his fingers. When Xiao Ma heard this snap, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes suddenly became dull, and a sound seemed to come from the horizon. The voice penetrated her ears: "From now on, when you go back to sleep, you can only wake up when you hear the sound again!"
"Yes!" Xiao Ma mechanically opened the door and walked out.
Old Liu was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and asked carefully: "Old Zhao, what is going on?"
Zhao Yue said: "Old Liu, you should go back and be your apartment owner! It's already very late now, I won't keep you!"
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from Zhao Yue, Old Liu was worried about Xiao Ma's safety, so he hurriedly chased after him, "Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma, what's wrong with you?"
No matter how Old Liu called, Xiao Ma just turned a deaf ear.?, in addition to looking stunned, she actually knew how to open the elevator and go downstairs. After leaving the hotel, she could also drive. Old Liu carefully sat in the passenger seat and talked to her, but she just didn't reaction.
Lao Liu had sent Xiao Ma home and followed her through the door. At this time, Xiao Ma's mother saw Xiao Ma coming back and asked, "Why haven't you come back until now? Oh, Lao Liu is here too?" "
Old Liu looked anxious and said: "Brother and sister, something happened, and I don't know what happened to this child! He was fine in the hotel just now, why did he suddenly become like this!"
Xiao Ma's mother looked at Xiao Ma's appearance as if she was possessed by an evil spirit, and asked hurriedly: "What the hell is going on?" Then she shouted to the study: "Old man, come out quickly and see what your girl is doing. What's going on? How did it become like this?" Your support is my biggest motivation. .
