seven relics

The call came to an abrupt end.Lian Jiangyue called back, but it was another person who answered the phone. It was still a woman, but her voice was cold and fierce. I want it."

It was the other side who hung up the phone first.Lian Jiangyue called back again, but all she could hear was a busy tone.He looked at Qianbaisui helplessly, he really wanted to have a fight with this old gentleman, but the woman on the first phone call sounded so anxious, and it also involved Vientiane Winery—— That is to say, I can find out some things about Shangguan Yuzhan, and it also involves Lian Wuhan. After thinking for a while, Lian Jiangyue decided to go to the winery first, and then apologized to Qian Baisui, saying: "Mr. I have to run before the battle, because I have a sudden emergency, if you don't mind, follow me to the Vientiane Winery, and we will make a gesture after I have dealt with the difficult matter?"

Qian Baisui nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll take a walk with you." He pointed to the east and said, "Vientiane Winery is very close to here, we can get there in 5 minutes by crossing under the bridge."

Saying that, Qian Baisui jumped onto the water, tapped the water surface with his toes, and headed east.Lian Jiang Yuefei followed, and the shadow supported him on the water while pushing him behind him, and easily followed Mr. Qian.

This thousand-year-old is taking the waterway, firstly, it is indeed the fastest way to Vientiane Winery, and secondly, he also wants to try Lianjiangyue's lightness kung fu. Lian Jiangyue's shadow behind him, as if that shadow was helping him to fly all the way.Qian Baisui rubbed his palms together, praised again and again, and was very excited: "Okay, such lightness kungfu! Kungfu that I have never seen before!"

He wanted to compete more and more with this young man with a dark right hand and excellent lightness kung fu.

The two crossed three bridges in a row, and when they reached the fourth stone bridge, Qian Baisui returned to the land, walked up the bridge, looked down under the bridge, and said, "It's just ahead."

Lian Jiangyue also went on the bridge, followed the eyes of thousands of years old, and saw a cloth flag with a yellow background and a red border, with the word "wine" printed on it fluttering in the wind.Some flags of the same style can be seen around this cloth flag, some with "rice" printed on them, some with "noodles", some with "silk" and some with "toilet".The flags are each hung on a long wooden stick extending from the ridge of the house.It is a long street paved with bluestone slabs. There are no vehicles, only sporadic pedestrians walking on the street.This long street is also deserted.

Qian Baisui led Lian Jiangyue to the big banner with the word "wine". His cloth shoes were not wet, and there was not a single drop of water on his trouser legs. Lian Jiangyue couldn't help but admire: "The old man is also good at light work."

He asked curiously: "I don't know what kind of business the old man does?"

Qian Baisui laughed, put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said: "Three teachings and nine streams, it's not worth mentioning."

The old man either avoided talking about his family and his past or said nothing about it. There must be his reasons, so Lian Jiangyue stopped inquiring into it.At this time, the two walked to a shop with a gold plaque with "Vientiane Winery" hanging in front of the door.

The two glass doors of the winery were closed.The lights in the store were not turned on, and nothing could be seen from the window, so Lian Jiangyue tried to push the door.It turned out that the door was not locked, but only closed, so Lian Jiangyue pushed the door open and walked into the shop.

There is a waist-high green glass counter around the huge store, and there are many identically shaped glass wine bottles inlaid with three gold characters "Vientiane Wine" engraved on the counter. Price 2888" and other different price tags.There is also a plaque in the winery, which reads: all-encompassing.

There are many pictures of celebrities hanging on the wall of the winery, and three light green electric fans are hanging from the ceiling, blowing the wind slowly. In the middle of the store, there is a booth covered with red velvet cloth, which is probably used for displaying some souvenirs. It's empty.Some jagged glass can be seen on the edge of the booth, and the glass around the booth has fallen all over the place.The booth was probably smashed to pieces.

A ten-year-old boy was sitting on a chair near the door, wearing a pair of huge earphones. When he saw someone coming in, the boy raised his head and pointed to Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui behind the glass counter. A small green door.and.evening.group.hate.read.Chia.

Lian Jiangyue and Qian Baisui walked into the counter and opened the green door.Behind this door is an office-like room. As soon as they opened the door, the three people in the office looked at them in unison, and the movements of their hands and bodies seemed to be paused suddenly.The three of them are all women, one has a high ponytail and smoky eyes, the other has long and messy hair, wears round glasses, and has a round face. These two women seem to have They are over 40, and there is a desk between them. A woman with a round face is flying on the desk, with a complicated expression—the lower half of her face is gnashing her teeth, the upper half of her face is panicked, and she is standing on a manager's chair with her feet , while the one with the ponytail was sitting on an armchair, holding a gold trophy in his right hand, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he calmly stretched out a hand to hold down the round-faced woman's two fleshy stretches on her chest. hand.

The third woman, dressed in a flag dress and heavily made up, stood at a desk with her hands raised to her face in a terrified expression.The head of the flag on her head flickered, looking at Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui, she let out an "oops".The three women all moved again.

The forehead of the round-faced woman hit the desk with a "bang", she gasped, kicked her legs back, and the manager's chair was kicked far away by her, hitting the wall.The ponytail woman smiled, stood up, and proudly shook the trophy in her hand.

The manager's chair turned to Lian Jiangyue.Lian Jiangyue grabbed the chair and said, "Excuse me, who called Lian Jiangyue just now?"

The round-faced woman rubbed her forehead, pressed her eyebrows and asked him, "Are you just pity Jiangyue?"

Lian Jiangyue recognized her voice, she was the one who made the first phone call just now, and he asked, "Do you know Lian Wuchen?"

The round-faced woman looked at the ponytailed woman, laughed, and said, "I said someone would come with the money." She stretched out her hand, "Give me back the trophy!"

The ponytail woman raised her chin at Lian Jiangyue: "Where's the money?"

Lian Jiangyue responded without understanding: "Money?"

The round-faced woman took three steps at a time, walked up to him, grabbed the manager's chair, pushed it back behind the desk, straightened her face, and taught Lian Jiangyue: "You don't care what you say." ? Didn’t you say that you rewarded the person who provided the news of pity and hatred?”

Her aggressive tone was so familiar, as if she had heard it not long ago...

Just as Lian Jiangyue was thinking about memories, Qian Baisui patted him and whispered: "Little brother, three women in one play, Lao Chaihuo can't stand it, I don't think there is a back door here, and I believe you can't." Leave without saying goodbye, I'll wait for you outside."

Qian Baisui backed out and closed the door.

Lian Jiangyue smiled wryly, and the round-faced woman suddenly named her name and shouted: "Lian Jiangyue, do you really want to know about Lian Wu's hate?"

Lian Jiangyue looked at the three women in the room again, and asked the ponytailed woman first: "Are you here to collect debts?"

The ponytail woman smiled, and patted a piece of printing paper on the table: "Black and white, Bao Zhimei asked our company to borrow 5 yuan in January, and said that it would be paid off in three months, and now four months have passed Yes, the principal plus interest is a total of 12. This is a copy. If you pay back the money, I will give you the original contract immediately." She stretched out her right hand to Lian Jiangyue, "I don't know what your relationship is, I've never heard of Bao Zhimei with a person like you, but since she said you would bring money, what about the money? Bring it."

Lian Jiangyue said: "Are you a loan shark?"

"If I were a usury, would I be able to humbly ask you for money? This shop would have been smashed by me long ago. If I were a usury, it would only double in three months? Our company is a legally operated private loan." The ponytail woman knocked Tap another piece of printing paper on the table: "Industrial and commercial business license, certified by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, we have all the documents."

The round-faced woman said: "The money will definitely be returned to you! You put down the trophy first!"

The woman with ponytail said: "Just put it down, just put it down, just this broken trophy from more than 30 years ago, and it's fucking gold-plated, worth a lot of money, and you are still a treasure."

She let go of her right hand, and seeing the trophy was about to fall to the ground, the round-faced woman rushed to catch it, and the woman in ancient costume also made a grumbling sound to catch it.Lian Jiangyue took a step over, stretched out her hand, and firmly caught the trophy. At a glance, it was the Crop Wine Gold Award in the [-]th International Fine Wine Competition.

Lian Jiangyue handed the trophy to the round-faced woman, and said, "You are Bao Wanxiang's family? Bao Zhimei, right?"

The round-faced woman nodded, hugged the trophy, turned around, opened a file cabinet drawer, grabbed a wooden sign, and showed it to Lian Jiangyue.The wooden sign had the words "Pity, I hate" written on it.A small hole was pierced at one end of the wooden sign.

Lian Jiangyue was about to ask her something, but the ponytail woman urged impatiently: "What do you say about the money?!"

She frowned and looked at Bao Zhimei: "Bao Zhimei, you don't want me to ask your brother for money, do you? It's a big company, high-level white-collar workers, you can't get a dime out of three times here, I'll tell you soon Then you can go to your brother, he is your guarantor."

Bao Zhimei said: "It's useless for you to find him, I signed the signature on my behalf!"

The ponytail woman was overjoyed: "I still can't see your flamboyance? Let me tell you, this contract and the guarantor's words are signed by someone else, you and your brother have to pay back the money! It’s useless for you to go to court! Who dares to intervene in the land of Mingshi and Gansu if you inquire about it, and the boss’s business?” She sighed again: “It’s because you and I grew up together Now, I’ve done my best to you, if you don’t show some sincerity, it won’t make sense, right?” The woman pointed around, “I see that in your shop…”

Bao Zhimei interrupted her sharply: "The wine can't be taken away!"

The ponytail woman laughed out loud, frowning: "Crazy! Why do I want your wine? Who the hell doesn't know that your old wine has long been sold out, and all the wine you sell now is mixed with wholesale goods and water. It’s about this table, this cabinet.” The ponytail woman wiped the table and twirled her fingers, “The old log guy from Liuhuamu is worth some money.”

Bao Zhimei gritted her teeth, slapped the wooden sign on the table, and asked Lian Jiangyue: "Do you have 12?"

"12 is a lot of money," Lian Jiangyue said.

"Then how many do you have?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "Tell me first, what do you know."

"You pay the deposit first." Bao Zhimei refused to give in, and became impatient, "Tell me, how much do you have on you? Where is Alipay? Where is WeChat?"

The woman in the flag dress who had been silent all this time came out with a smile to smooth things over: "It's easy for everyone to discuss, it's easy to discuss, how about two thousand and eight first?"

Lian Jiangyue looked at her, and the woman lowered her head with a dry smile.Lian Jiangyue found a chair, sat down, and said: "The usury blackmailed you, and you blackmailed me?"

The ponytail woman corrected him: "Private lending!"

The woman in the flag dress raised her head again, and said to the woman with ponytail: "Sister Honghong, you see, this little girl Zhimei is not easy. Her elder brother sells factories and shops, and the business is not honest. He came up with all the ideas, and even hired a group of Japanese to take over! He just wanted to take over his parents' business! Alas, Bao Renhui is a prodigal son! Zhimei really wants to keep this store, really wants to keep it The golden signboard of Vientiane Winery, all the money she borrowed was used to purchase raw materials to make wine, but she has never learned this, and she has never done it before. If you give her a little more time, she will figure it out. After all, she is an old bag. The child of the family, she..."

Before the woman in the flag dress could finish speaking, her red eyes slanted, she took out her mobile phone, and said, "None of my business." She was about to make a call.Bao Zhimei was really anxious, and forced the wooden sign to Lian Jiangyue: "One thousand! You take the wooden sign! I will tell you the story when this debt collector leaves!"

Lian Jiangyue looked at her, and she could see that Bao Zhimei really needed money, and she could also see that she really loved the gold medal trophy. If what the woman in the flag dress said was true, Bao Zhimei could be regarded as a filial and righteous person people.

Lian Jiangyue asked Bao Zhimei: "Are you really borrowing money to make wine?"

Bao Zhimei grabbed his arm: "This is the critical moment, what are you doing asking about these! Does this have anything to do with pity and hatred?"

Lian Jiangyue still looked at her, waiting for her reply.Bao Zhimei nodded like a pounding garlic, and said with pity to Jiangyue: "Put away the wooden sign first." He took out three thousand cash, handed it to Hong Hong, and said, "Three thousand, let's use it as three days' interest first. After three days, come to the door to pay back the money, do you have a business card?"

Hong Hong looked at him, but didn't move.Lian Jiangyue continued: "The signature of this contract is indeed very problematic. If Bao Renhui goes to the court to sue you, your boss sounds like a big business, but for a mere 12 small He doesn't have the need to use some generals for the list, maybe he will blame the underlings who are not doing things well, am I right? Otherwise, you don't have to spend so much time with Bao Zhimei here. "

When Hong Hong heard this, her eyes turned cold, but her complexion was as usual, she still had that sinister sneer, and she was very calm, but she put away her mobile phone, took Lian Jiangyue's money, picked up the trophy on the table, and went to Walking through the door, he said, "The address is on the contract. It's only natural to pay off debts. This thing will be delivered to me first. I will wait for you in the office in three days."

Bao Zhimei chased to snatch the trophy back, and said in her mouth: "You have taken away the ID card, so give this back to me!"

Lian Jiangyue called out to Hong Hong, and said, "Use this for that trophy as collateral, do you think it's okay?" He threw the wooden sign in his hand, and Hong Hong reached out to catch it.

Lian Jiangyue said: "This wooden sign is what I'm looking for. It's not that I don't have 12, but I need to confirm some things with Bao Zhimei first, some information. In this society, you know that information is money. If the information she told me is worth 12, I will redeem it with 12."

"What if it's not worth 12?" Hong Hong said.

"How much is it worth, I will bring you as much as I want in three days, and I will bring you this trophy. If Bao Zhimei refuses to give me this trophy, I will grab it and grab it. At that time, the trophy will be exchanged for wood." card, you can use this trophy as collateral."

"What if you lied to me?"

"I don't lie."

Honghong admits that she has seen countless people, and has dealt with many crooked ways. Seeing that Lian Jiangyue and Bao Zhimei really don't know each other at all, she paid 12 yuan for a stranger. It seems that he should be quite well off , besides, this person said so swearingly, he really doesn't look like a slick charlatan, and Bao Zhimei really can't squeeze out any oil here, so he went to Bao Renhui rashly, that kid can do the thing of reselling fake wine, and To be able to lobby the Japanese to take over this brand whose reputation has long been ruined, she must have more brains than Bao Zhimei, and she may really get into some trouble. Light.Today, with the three thousand in hand, I can make a job, so let’s just believe Lian Jiangyue’s letter and wait for three days. Knowing Bao Zhimei, she has neither the courage nor the ability to run away, and she will not be at her disposal then.She took the wooden sign and left.

Seeing that Honghong was gone, the woman in the flag dress got up and said, "I'm going to open the shop, you two can talk slowly."

Only Lian Jiangyue and Bao Zhimei were left in the office, and Bao Zhimei said, "Why are you looking for Shangguan Yuzhan?"

Lian Jiangyue was stunned, remembering the mysterious phone call in the early morning, and said strangely: "You called me at five or six o'clock? Why do you use a voice changer?"

Bao Zhimei lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "You are very suspicious."

She went on to say: "Including the three thousand you gave me just now, it is also very suspicious. We have never met, and you are really willing to do it for a wooden sign... Maybe I saw your missing person notice and made it." You are willing to give me money if you lied to me? Are you rich? Rich second generation? Or a charity?"

Lian Jiangyue smiled: "I would like to believe that this wooden sign has a story, and I would like to believe that you know the story inside, just like you would like to believe that I am looking for someone who knows Lianwuhan, and I am willing to provide any information related to him. It's like paying."

Bao Zhimei raised her head, looked at Lian Jiangyue, got up, and walked behind a roll of curtains.

At this time, Lian Jiangyue had time to look at the room carefully: there was only one door in and out, and the room was not big, except for a desk, some telephones, office equipment such as copiers, and two wooden filing cabinets, there was only one Curtains rolled up.The drapes were like curtains—one of the windows in the room, which opened on the south wall, had no curtains, but a curtain rail.

Bao Zhimei came out from behind the curtain.The moment the curtain was rolled up and down, a bed was vaguely visible inside.

Bao Zhimei held a glass wine bottle and a glass wine cup in her hand.

She put the wine bottle and wine cup on the desk.He opened the cork on the wine bottle, poured wine into the wine cup, and said: "This wooden plate was tied to a wine jar in the past. According to Shangguan Yuzhan's habit, I speculate that the wine in that jar was specially brewed for this man named Lianwu." Damn, when I found it, it was the only bottle of unopened wine in the cellar, and I don’t know how long it’s been there, 20 years, or 30 years?”

She pushed the wine cup full of wine to Lian Jiangyue: "Drink, there is only so much wine left for Lian Wuchen, and there is only so much left for Vientiane wine."
