If the Water Margin

Chapter 275 After the Mist

Ximen Qing is very clear about what it means. His bet with Wang An completely disappeared, and the dangers and tricks he took today were in vain. Just now, Ximenqing was still thinking about whether to let Wang An go and sell personal favors to him, but now, Ximen Qing doesn't even have the ability to sell favors. Because if you want to sell favors, you must give this document to Wang An to dispose of, but once the document is given to Wang An, he only needs to open it and find the real reason why Ximen Qing gave up asking for bets. I'm afraid that this favor will only turn into a laugh.

But Ximenqing can't blame others. Vegetable soup is his suggestion on a whim. Now think about it, if they had bit their fingers and pressed their fingerprints with blood at that time, there would have been no trouble later. In addition, even the fake documents of the big teapot were still known to be put in the envelope and then held in their arms, but why were they so stupid that they kicked up the ink that had just dried and were still greased indiscriminately, kneading and tearing them back and forth. How could they not be a mess? In the end, on the issue of the cancellation of the bet, Ximen Qing can't blame others, which is his own fault.

So, what should be done with this destroyed document? There is almost no need to think about this problem, and it must be kept secret from Wang An. Now Wang An doesn't know that the gambling document has become like this. As long as he doesn't see it, Wang An will think that the gambling document has always existed. Although it is not enough to kill Wang An, it can be completely done by temporarily restraining it. But... where is the insurance hidden?

Ximen Qing knows that if he hides the documents instead of directly forcing Wang An to submit, Wang An will definitely do everything he can to find them, because even if he obtains the documents by stealing, he does not have to carry out the things in the documents. Wang An has worked in Ximen Pharmacy for many years. The grass and trees are very well understood. Where to put it is not enough to make Ximenqing feel at ease. Even if he puts it back the cellar built by his father, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be found by Wang An in the process of entering the cellar.

Then... this document can only be destroyed. What has been destroyed will never be found, just as the dead can't speak. However, it is not good to tear it up. A little fragment will alert Wang An. Such a shrewd person as Wang An must firmly remember the appearance of the paper provided by Guihua Building, so the fragments of paper will convey a lot of information to Wang An. It is not advisable to burn it. There is no paper in my room in the afternoon. There is no charcoal basin in the bedroom, and the ashes of the paper will expose everything.

After thinking about it, Ximen Qing found that he had only one solution, that is, to eat this paper. Eat it completely and hide it in your stomach. When it comes out of the other end of the body, it has already become a completely different appearance. Even the Daluo immortal can't see it. And if you eat it, it will leave no trace.

Thinking of this, Ximenqing did not hesitate. He grabbed the document and tore a large piece and swallowed it in his mouth. He knew that he must deal with it as soon as possible to be safer. No one can guarantee that Wang An will not suddenly knock the door open like a madman and plead with Ximen Qing. If he catches up with Ximen Qing eating paper, the picture will be too funny and ridiculous.

The taste of paper is better than expected. Perhaps because of the participation of grease, the paper, which is already a little chewy, has a chewy taste, but the ink on it is slightly smelly. This smell makes the meat tendons that had just been made from light oil in the pot become There was a whole day of meat tendons in midsummer, because corruption was mixed with all kinds of strange smells. Among these strange flavors, there are: regret, regret, unwillingness, and a little fluke.

The reason for the fluke is that I was so lucky to win today. If I hadn't used vegetable soup with lard to make fingerprinting mud, and then inadvertently pressed it on the incense, I would probably have lost today, which can be said to be Chengye lard; lard eventually led to the damage of fingerprints and signatures on the document, which can also be said The defeat is also lard...

Ximenqing suddenly felt that something was wrong, because it was really a coincidence. Now think about it, isn't Wang An's inference as accurate as ghosts? If there is no accident, the big teapot should appear at the door of the Guihua Building. In that case, I will undoubtedly lose. But before that, through those inferences, I thought I would win...

It is absolutely impossible for Wang An to rely solely on inference. Simon Qing confirmed this. After swallowing the last piece of paper, he had a hiccup, which made his mind clearer. Because the incense is ordered by yourself, although the general time can be determined, the specific time is determined by yourself, so this has been out of the scope of inference. Then, there is only one possibility, that is, Wang An and the big teapot colluded in advance to make trouble in the Osmanthus Building and enter the door. It has been fixed.

No, it's impossible to fix that time. Although Wang An can use the skill of conversation to control the rhythm and drag the time into a general range, but I say five or six more sentences and then light incense, which is very different from the time of direct incense to the end. These can no longer be solved by agreement. So, it must be Wang An who sent a signal to the big teapot.

What will the signal be? I kept an eye on Wang An during the whole process, and he should have no chance. If it is not the signal sent by Wang An, it should be the information of when the incense burned out obtained by the big teapot itself, but this is also impossible. Regardless of the method, the fact that the big teapot came in a moment after the incense burned out is enough to show that he cannot observe the burning state of the incense from time to time...

What's going on? The time of this incense was so accurate that Ximen Qing grabbed his head hard, and then recited the three words "a incense" again. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly realized.

In fact, everything is very simple. Although the burning time of different incense is different, the burning time of the same batch of incense of the same specification can remain amazingly consistent. In fact, when the clerk of Guihua Building brought up the incense burner, fire folds and incense again, the incense was not just one, but several of them were exactly the same. This kind of ordinary thing, the big teapot should be easy to get to the clerk of Guihualou. Then, he only needs to get information when I light the incense, and at the same time ignite the incense in his hand. When the incense in his hand burns out, he can enter the Guihualou to meet my surprised and dementia-like eyes.

Now that in retrospect, Wang An once hid a key condition in a plain conversation. He said that I could not interfere in the process of burning incense, which would lead to the injustice of the result. At that time, I didn't feel anything at that time. Now think about it, Wang An's The layer condition is just to ensure that two identical incense burn at the same time. However, Wang An calculated a lot, but missed the grease dipped in my fingers. It was the two accelerations provided by the oil for the burning of the fragrance, which made a subtle gap in the burning time of the two fragrances. Of course, he only paid attention to the burning fragrant teapot in his hand. Of course, he would not know this. I'm afraid that when the big teapot entered the Osmanthus Tower, I thought I would win, so I'm ready to share my 20,000 taels with Wang An. When Ximen Qing thought of this, he felt more and more afraid.

The development of the matter has been fully explained. Today's test of the big teapot has a double meaning. If everything goes well and can receive the Osmanthus Mansion smoothly, then Wang An can hold the real house and land deed in his hand, own the Osmanthus House, and turn two waste papers into an enviable industry. Even if it is unsuccessful, he can earn me 20,000 taels with the right playing time. The real left and right, the merchant's face.

So, when the details of the plan are figured out, the rest is how Wang An and the big teapot met and when they collusioned. Ximenqing carefully searched the possible time points in his mind, but found that there were many possibilities.

After first going to the small forest in the south of the city to explore the body, the mysterious woman left a handwriting on the saddle and guided me to the Water Pavilion. Although I went alone, Wang An also knew this layer of information. He could also learn from me to go to the Water Pavilion after me, and through inquiring, the same Find a big teapot.

As for the time he made an appointment with the big teapot, it may be long before today. Wang An told me this morning that he could make an appointment with the big teapot before he got the deed and the land deed, or even make a detailed plan. Because Wang An knows me, I will definitely find someone to test it, and the person who is testing must It is enough to be trusted, but it has nothing to do with me. The big teapot is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Then I made a tentative plan with the big teapot. In fact, no matter what kind of plan I make, I will definitely not be able to escape the house and land lease, and the big teapot can say that he is responsible for everything. That is to say, no matter what kind of suggestion I make, the big teapot can put the final goal. At Guihua Building, and then after I returned to the pharmacy, Liu Lin guided me.

A series of seemingly accidental events were actually led by inevitable clues, as they had scheduled, happening step by step, but as a puppet they played with, I didn't realize it. If it weren't for a few drops of oil on my fingers, how could I avoid this seamless situation?

When, luck, fate.
