Chapter 69 Speculation (I) In the box of the restaurant, there is already a table full of steaming dishes, chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of meat dishes, as well as a jar of wine that has just been opened, and the aroma is overflowing.Lao Xu, who was still wearing a tattered robe, peeked at the food and wine on the table from time to time and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, but most of his attention was still on the "human skin mask" in his hand.In addition to Lao Xu in the box, there is only Wang Ge, and the "human skin mask" in Lao Xu's hand is naturally the one he got from the "Phoenix Butterfly Son"."
Human skin mask" is not a "big road goods" that can be seen everywhere on the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, let alone used it, may never see it in their lives.And Lao Xu is obviously not an ordinary Jianghu person, he has not only seen the "human skin mask", but also can distinguish the person wearing the "human skin mask", obviously he has much more contact with the "human skin mask" than ordinary people.Wang Ge knows that this Lao Xu is an experienced person, and when he was young, he may really have a name in the rivers and lakes, but it is certainly not as he himself said, "On the Shandong Road, no one knows, no one knows", in fact, in the eyes of most people in Qingzhou City, Lao Xu is a braggart and a broken household, every time others ask him what his name is mysterious and his real name and surname, he is always concerned about him, and never a word of truth.But Wang Ge knew that Lao Xu was not estimated to be in Shandong, but in other regions, and the reason why he was vague about the past was because he was hiding from the enemy or having a lawsuit.Lao Xu rubbed the "human skin mask" and exclaimed: "This feel, this workmanship, is the best 'human skin mask' I have ever seen, tsk!"
”"Old Xu, have you seen a few 'human skin masks' before?""
Not much, not much, just a dozen or twenty, but it's not as delicate as the one you brought."
Lao Xu said with a smile, as if he didn't understand the temptation in Wang Ge's words.Wang Ge naturally didn't take what he said about the dozen or twenty sheets seriously, and continued to ask: "Can you see whose handwriting it is?"
”There are only a few people who can make "human skin masks", and there are only two people who can tell their names and surnames, but maybe Lao Xu knows more.Lao Xu asked rhetorically: "This 'human skin mask' is from the 'Phoenix Butterfly Boy', right?"
”Two days ago, the "Phoenix Butterfly Son" was arrested in Qingzhou City, and Qin Haofeng, the dart head of the "Four Seas Dart Bureau", was captured alive with the assistance of Wang Ge, the head catcher in Qingzhou, and the court will be interrogated soon, but it can basically be determined that it is a death sentence, but it is just how to die and when to die.Wang Ge nodded, confirming his guess.Lao Xu said: "This 'human skin mask' is definitely not what I wore when I saw him in the inn, which means that he has more than one human skin mask." ”Wang Ge didn't hide it from him, and said, "He has three. ”Two of them have been filed in the government, he did not move, and they are still placed on the "Phoenix Butterfly Son", which is also convenient for the yamen to determine his identity, and the one he took has not yet been seen."
There can be so many 'human skin masks', and the relationship between the lewd thief and the person who made this mask is extraordinary."
Wang Ge could naturally guess what Lao Xu said, and continued to ask: "Do you see something?"
”Seeing that Lao Xu seemed to be a little hesitant, probably because he had some scruples, Wang Ge said again: "Don't worry, this matter can be out of your mouth and into my ears, and no third party will know."
Before, in the 'Shunfu Inn', you saw that the 'Phoenix Butterfly Prince' was wearing a 'human skin mask', and it wouldn't be spread. ”Lao Xu's face was no longer obscene, his eyes were always on the "human skin mask" in his hand, and after rubbing it for a while, he finally said: "I can't be sure who made it, but this hooking technique ......
In some places, it is similar to the 'human skin mask' made by the 'Colorful Phantom King' back then. ”Wang Ge's eyes condensed slightly, the name of "Colorful Phantom King" is not known by many people on the rivers and lakes now, but it was famous a few decades ago.In the past, the Demon Sect that stirred up the bloody storm in the rivers and lakes and forced the great grandmaster Jiang Lin to take the lead in forming a martial alliance to confront it, not only the amazing and brilliant sect leader Teng Qing, but also several grandmaster-level masters including the sword envoy Sima Junxiu and the right envoy Pang Haozhu, as well as a large number of super-first-class or first-class masters, the sect master of the Demon Sect "Illusory God Sect" at that time, the "Colorful Phantom King" was one of them.This "Colorful Phantom King" is very good at disguise and disguise, not only can change his appearance, but even change his body shape, voice and smell, from male to female, from female to male, so that no one is sure whether he is male or female.And he is very good at imitation, once disguised as a disciple of a righteous sect, mixed with the sect for several months and no one found out, and then successfully attacked and killed the head of the sect who had just finished retreat and healing, and retreated.In those days, if you mentioned the production of the "human skin mask", a disguised treasure, there was no doubt that you couldn't get around the "Colorful Phantom King".It is said that in addition to his own use, there are probably more than 100 "human skin masks" that are scattered outside and made by him, and nine CDs belong to demon cultists.However, due to the unique nature of the custom nature of the "human skin masks", these "human skin masks", like their owners, have disappeared in recent years.Obviously, Lao Xu has come into contact with the "human skin mask" from the hands of the "Colorful Phantom King", Wang Ge has no doubts about this, even if Lao Xu wants to bluff people, there is no need to say "Colorful Phantom King".From this point of view, Lao Xu may have had something to do with the Demon Sect before?
Wang Ge said thoughtfully: "You mean, the person who made this 'human skin mask' may be a remnant of the Demon Sect?"
”Lao Xu handed him back the "human skin mask", shook his head and said, "I don't know about this Lao Xu." ”After that, he looked at the dishes and wine, rubbed his hands and said: "Wang Zhutou, the food is almost cold......
Wang Ge waved his hand, signaling him to be casual, and then got up to leave the box, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and turned back and said: "Lao Xu, there is a teahouse to open next month, I have a little molecule, how about you go and help me look at it?"
”Lao Xu, who was stuffing fish meat into his mouth, was stunned for a moment, of course he knew what Wang Ge meant, it was not that the teahouse lacked a shopkeeper or a guy asked him to help, but that the profits of the teahouse belonged to him, and he was responsible for being Wang Ge's eyeliner.Although he can also be regarded as Wang Ge's eyeliner now, after all, there is no real subordination.And if you agree to Wang Ge, you will have a regular income every month from now on, which means that you don't have to worry about food, clothing, wine and meat, but you will also become a member of the "brotherhood" and become Wang Ge's subordinates.Lao Xu took a sip of wine, swallowed half of the fish in his mouth, raised his head and smiled at Wang Ge: "Lao Xu, my body is not as good as a winter, and I won't last long, I'm afraid it will delay Wang Tou's arrest." ”Wang Ge naturally couldn't hear Lao Xu's refusal, and he didn't seem to be surprised, nodded, didn't say anything more, pushed the door and walked out of the box.In the box, watching Wang Ge's back disappear and the door of the box closed again, the usual obscene flattery on Lao Xu's face was gone, but solemn as he had never seen before, and muttered to himself: "Wang Zhutou, Wang Zhutou, what do you want to do?"
