45. Night in Liangzhou City
The long street at night is a bit quiet, with stars in the sky and moonlight falling, as cool as frost.
There are not many people on the street, and some of them are not leisurely. In fact, in the city of curfew, this time should be so deserted.
The two of them walked on the street, not briskly.
"You just gave up ten taels of silver?" asked the thief.
Su Che nodded and said casually: "What, are you afraid I will give you less?"
The thief raised his eyebrows.
Su Che smiled, "After all, I've been kind enough to take you in for so long, how could I be stingy?"
"No." The Tuo Shuai was a little embarrassed, "I mean, ten taels of silver may not be enough."
Su Che was stunned, "Ten taels are not enough?"
No matter where you put ten taels of silver, it is not a small amount. Even in the capital, the salary of those officials who work in the yamen is only two or three taels of silver per month.
According to his thoughts, the thief had just owed half a month's money for wine, and even if he added food and accommodation, ten taels of silver would be enough.
The Tuo Shuai coughed dryly and said, "Do you still remember the old wine you drank just now?"
Su Che nodded, "I remember, it's just a pot of peach blossom wine, and it's only a few dollars sold in the capital."
Although he was not easy to drink, his brother Su Qing was a regular visitor to brothels and naturally knew the wine from all walks of life in the capital. Affected by this, Su Che also knew a little about the price of some good wines.
Like this peach blossom wine, it can only be considered a medium-sized wine.
Even if the pot of wine I just drank was some old wine, even if it was Liangzhou City, very close to Taoshan where Taohua Jiange was located, the wine was more expensive, and it would never cost more than one tael of silver.
Could it be that this guy was consuming and drinking in a tavern and even recruiting a brothel girl? Su Che couldn't help but look at the thief and was a little suspicious.
The Tuo Shuai was a little uncomfortable when he saw it. He looked away and looked around, "What, the pot of peach blossom wine just now was old wine, and I don't drink it normally."
Su Che understood and said that this guy usually drinks peach blossom wine for half a month. No wonder he would say that the wine was not enough!
"What's the matter? I'll put down a few more taels when I go back now?" he asked.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later if you have the chance." said Tuo Shuai: "It's more important to do things first."
Every place is black and white, and there is also a gray area of struggle in the middle.
And the place they are going to now is the gray area in Liangzhou City, looking for those who do not belong to the government or gangs.
Among them, there is the goal of their trip, "running fast" Tang Tianci.
This person is a wind media in the world who traveled around the world, especially among the wind media in Liangzhou. He can be said to be one of the best.
His intelligence sources are very wide, including the chief lord of the government, the yamen runners, the merchants and vendors on the streets, the bad idle people in the market, the refugees and beggars in the dilapidated temples, and all kinds of religions and all kinds of people. There is nothing he can't deal with.
However, although Tang Tianci is versatile, his whereabouts have always been uncertain. Ordinary people only know that he is in Liangzhou City, but it is difficult to see him as if he is as tall as the sky.
Feng Media has a low status in the world, and because he relies on selling news, he will never be less trouble. Therefore, the greater the reputation of Feng Media, the greater the danger he will encounter.
You can't be safe by grasping other people's secrets. No matter who is caught in your hands, you will not be able to sleep.
Therefore, there are many people who want to get rid of Tang Tianci in the black and white paths of Liangzhou, but the latter's nickname is fast. In addition to being because this person has a brilliant light skills and is coming and going without a trace, it is also because this person has a very keen sense of danger and will always escape before danger approaches.
Therefore, he can live for a long time and has a great reputation now.
"How do you know where he is?" Su Che said curiously.
The Thief smiled, "The only ability he is to fool people is his light skills. Who am I? I am a Thief and is famous for his light skills."
"Have you ever tried?" Su Che guessed.
"No." said the Tuo Shuai: "Tang Tianci owed a favor to the blacksmith, and the blacksmith owed me a favor, so I knew where Tang Tianci was."
Su Che couldn't help rolling his eyes. Since that's the case, why are you talking nonsense about the previous ones?
He also knew that the blacksmith he mentioned was named Jiang Gou, so he was not the person who pretended to be in the brothel in the capital, but the master who is now a casting and smelting tool in the city of Mohist government. He also had the unique skills of a manufacturing mechanism.
As for the thief’s bragging words, Su Che just listened to them.
"With Tang Tianci's methods, I believe that after tonight, your Su Che's reputation will spread throughout the world, and the reputation of Taohua Jiange will definitely be inauspicious." The Thief was very confident.
Su Che was a little suspicious, "He really has such great ability?"
"You don't understand this." The Tuo Shuai smiled, but his tone was extremely serious. "You can speak a word, but rumors are sharper than swords."
Su Che frowned slightly.
The Tuo Shuai said: "What's more, this is a fact, but it needs a knowledgeable person to polish it a little. In this way, it is not a sword, but gunpowder."
Su Che nodded, he would not be embarrassed about this.
Those who do evil must have any good endings.
The two of them walked and said, when they reached a certain point at the intersection of the street, the lights were slightly dim in front, and three of them walked towards them with their arms around each other. They could smell the alcohol on several people from a distance.
They came oncoming, without any intention of giving way.
Su Che saw the drunkenness of several people, and when he approached, he turned his body sideways.
The same is true for the thief.
Neither of you wants to cause trouble, but trouble always comes to you inadvertently.
The three drunkards who were walking were wandering and looking like they were not stingy. When they saw the two of them give way, they laughed even more like crabs.
But one of them looked up inadvertently and saw Su Che's appearance on the roadside. His drunken eyes were stunned for a moment, then a hint of panic flashed, then he lowered his head as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward with the two people beside him. However, his body movements were a little stiff, and his steps subconsciously became faster.
Su Che's eyes were calm and he looked at the backs of several people.
"It should be a local gang." The Tuo Shuai shook his head, "I didn't expect that Taohua Jiange even released your portrait."
The man's abnormality just now was naturally impossible to hide from the eyes of the two of them, and the coach of the thief could see clearly, but he should have nothing to do, but the other party was not lucky.
"Hey." Su Che shouted.
The wine man, who was already a little unnatural when walking, suddenly broke free from the arms of the two people beside him, pulled his feet and ran into the alley.
But he wanted to run, but Su Che's movements were faster.
A stone kicked out from under his feet and hit the man's leg.
"Ah!" the drunkard screamed and fell to the ground with his legs covered.
The other two drunk men were stunned for a moment, turned around, and even though they were a little confused, they still wanted to curse.
But before the two of them could curse, the thief had already stepped forward and knocked them out with a punch.
"Don't, don't kill me, I don't know anything!" The person who held his legs on the ground was almost crying, but he begged for mercy.
The Tuo Shuai looked around and walked over, his voice lowered slightly, "Who is your boss?"
Chapter completed!
