Chapter 206 Pearl Meatballs (2)

Since it is a birthday gift, it should be given as it pleases.

Liang Hongjin didn't like things that ordinary young ladies like, such as powdered jewelry and colorful dresses. Compared with these, what this female general who likes to practice with others in the martial arts field likes most is all kinds of weapons.

As early as half a month ago, Wen Mingtang specifically asked Lin Fei to find the craftsman who made the waist sword to make a short sword.

After a few "swish, swish, swish" moves, Liang Hongjin put away the dagger with great satisfaction, saying, "Xiao Mingtang, I really like this gift!" She couldn't help but look at it as she spoke. To all sides.

On the surrounding walls, long swords, short swords, soft swords, hidden swords...all kinds of swords were lined up, and Liang Hongjin's eyes lit up when he saw them.

"I have stayed in Chang'an City for so long, and this is the first time I know that there is such a place!" Liang Hongjin looked so hard that she couldn't bear to move away from the wall, and asked Wen Mingtang, "How do you know that this private house is deep?" There’s actually a sword shop hidden somewhere?”

Wen Mingtang looked at Liang Hongjin and said, "I also heard about it from our Lin Shaoqing. This sword shop never does business with strangers, only regular customers. It has been open for nearly a hundred years. Because it is hidden in a private house, outsiders are very uncomfortable." It’s hard to know.”

After listening to what Wen Mingtang said, Liang Hongjin couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that what was said in the storybook is indeed true! The hidden shops that do not show their faces are the most likely to produce good products, which are hard to find. !”

Liang Hongjin saw that beautiful swords were like beautiful women. It was rare to see so many beautiful swords, so she couldn't bear to leave. Wen Mingtang simply sat down in the hall and watched the swords with Liang Hongjin.

Because regular customers order orders in advance, the shop sometimes doesn't even get a single customer in a day. The owner of the sword shop also didn't care about his customers. He served tea for the two of them and then went to watch the master making swords in the back.

Wen Mingtang held the tea cup and slowly sipped it. When the tea was finished, Liang Hongjin had almost finished her look. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze and said, "I have to save some money to buy a sword next time! Xiao Mingtang , I’ll leave later…”

Before he finished speaking, someone walked in from outside!

They were two burly men, both with beards. At first glance, it was difficult to tell them apart because only their eyebrows and eyes were exposed.

Wen Mingtang only glanced at the two burly men, then quickly lowered his head, turned to Liang Hongjin and said, "Let's go!"

Liang Hongjin said "hmm" and walked out together with Wen Mingtang. Although she didn't look at the two burly men, the moment she passed by Liang Hongjin, one of the burly men came towards Wen Mingtang. Looked over.

Wen Mingtang's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to show any strange expression on his face. He just walked out of the door quickly with Liang Hongjin, and then said to Liang Hongjin: "I promise to accompany you to the Luo Horse Market to see the horses from the Western Regions another day." Besides, I have to go back to Dali Temple now!"

Liang Hongjin looked at the anxious look on Wen Mingtang's face. She knew it was not the right time, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just said, "I'll accompany you back! My wife has been missing a lot in recent times. I'm not worried if you go back alone." !”

Wen Mingtang did not refuse, glanced at the sword shop not far behind him, lowered his voice and said to Liang Hongjin: "Hurry up!"

…

…

Just after lunch time, a group of guards from Dali Temple hurried out of Dali Temple and went straight to the sword shop.

Wen Mingtang, who had come back again, was telling everyone in the hall how he met the two people.

"The two of us were about to leave after reading the sword, and the two people walked in. They both had beards on their faces. Of course, their eyebrows were different, but the way they grew their beards, they really looked like the same person." Wen Mingtang said, "One of them with beard and eyebrows looked very much like the person in the portrait. I was afraid that I would be discovered, so I immediately lowered my head and stopped looking at them..."

Hearing what Wen Mingtang said, Bai Zhu nodded and praised: "Master Wen did a good job! If he is really that bad guy, he will definitely be wary of others looking at him when he sees the portrait posted in the city. If you look at it more, it will be very dangerous." It’s possible to alert the enemy!”

This statement must have attracted the approval of everyone.

Seeing everyone's affirmation, Wen Mingtang frowned and said, "Although I'm sure I didn't look at him too much, I don't know why, when Liang Hongjin and I passed by him, that person actually looked at him specifically. Give me a look!"

As soon as these words came out, the voices in the hall suddenly became silent.

Did you take a special look at Master Wen? Has this been discovered? Someone thought for a while and couldn't help but ask Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, but you actually looked at him but forgot?"

Wen Mingtang shook his head: "I'm sure I haven't!"

How could that happen...

"There is another possibility!" Lin Fei's voice came from outside. He walked in and said, "He recognizes Master Wen!"

Apart from the people in Dali Temple, how many other people do you recognize as a cook in the public kitchen of Dali Temple?

"There are also diners like Yu Jijiu and the others!" Someone said but couldn't help but frown, "But it's a matter of daily contact and so on. It's so familiar that it doesn't match up with the portrait!"

Wen Mingtang also said, "That face doesn't look familiar to me. It doesn't look like he's someone I recognize!"

"Either you recognize him, or he recognizes you." After Lin Fei said this, he paused, "Either he recognizes you because you are Master Wen, or he recognizes you because you are from Dali Temple!"

For the former, the beard must be found in the past of the Wen family. But Wen Mingtang was still a child when he entered the palace, and after leaving the palace, he came to Dali Temple without staying outside.

The growth from a half-year-old child to the current age is the time of greatest change in a person's life, so it doesn't make sense to talk about this old friend of the Wen family.

In this case, there is only one possibility.

"Generally, those who do such dirty work will pay attention to the people in the yamen, from officials to servants, chefs, handymen, etc.!" Lin Fei said, "He has not been to the yamen and seen it with his own eyes. You got the portrait I’m waiting for.”

If you had been here in person... People in Dali Temple usually arrest a lot of criminals. The prisoners are cunning and use many disguises. The people in Dali Temple who are used to dealing with these prisoners are better at recognizing people than ordinary people. A lot of.

But no one has much impression of this person. Compared with that person coming to the Yamen to see it in person, they may be more likely to get their portrait.

"Let's wait for the situation on the guard side. It would be best if we could catch someone!" Lin Fei said, "If not, the two men realized something was wrong and ran away, so they started from the sword shop and asked the sword How did the store owner and the two customers find him?"

That's all we can do, now we have to wait for the news from the police officer.

One of the officers thought for a while and asked Wen Mingtang: "General Liang is so skilled. Why didn't Master Wen leave General Liang there to watch?"

Wen Mingtang rubbed his nose and said, "That's what I want to say. I smelled the smell of blood on them. Although I brought a sachet to cover it up, it was still there. I was afraid that they were desperadoes who just killed people, so I didn't dare Let the red scarf take risks with the entire sword shop!"

Although I don't know what the martial arts skills of these two people are, if Liang Hongjin was sure to control those two people, Liang Hongjin would not have sent her back because of her temper.

Of course it's good to be a hero, but if you don't have enough strength to be a hero and harm innocent people, you're not saving people but harming them.
