MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 58

"I just came out from the prefect's place. If Boss Liu is willing, I don't mind going there again with Boss Liu." No one asked her to sit, so An Ruochen found a chair and sat down.

Liu Ze stared at her without speaking.

An Ruochen looked back at him, and said, "I won't go around with Boss Liu anymore. The thing is, General Long will be back soon. I should have waited for the general to come back and report the matter to him so that he can arrange to deal with it." But I'm afraid Boss Liu will die and wait for the general to come." Of course, this was to bluff him, she didn't know when Long Da would come back, so she was in a hurry. It's just that she is anxious and can't let others know.

Liu Ze also sat down: "I don't understand what Miss An is talking about."

"When I had a showdown with Matchmaker Xu, she also acted like Boss Liu and couldn't understand what I was talking about. Then she died."

Liu Ze was expressionless.

An Ruochen looked at him and said, "What I said to Matchmaker Xu back then, I will tell Boss Liu again now. I know that you are related to Xizuo, and you are helping them. If you are willing to help the general, arrest Xizuo and bring him to justice." , the general can save Boss Liu's life."

Liu Ze shook his head: "The girl must have misunderstood."

"It's okay if I have a misunderstanding. I won't kill you. But it's okay if Mr. Xie has a misunderstanding. He will kill you."

Liu Ze smiled and said, "I just said that the girl had a misunderstanding. I don't know Mr. Xie."

"Then do you know Li Xiu'er? She's not dead."

"I don't know Li Xiu'er either." Liu Ze rubbed his forehead, "I've been busy with my wife's funeral for the past few days, so I really don't know what's going on outside. Is there something that Ms. An misunderstood."

"I did have a lot of misunderstandings." An Ruochen said, "For example, I misunderstood that Mrs. Zun is not dead."

Liu Ze stopped rubbing his forehead.

"For example, I misunderstood that Mrs. Zun wanted to expose your evil deeds, so you had to fake her death to prevent Mr. Xie from actually committing murder."

Liu Ze put down his hands, raised his head, and said coldly, "Ms. An's joke is too much."

An Ruochen shook his head and smiled calmly: "I know this because the suicide note is fake, the cause of death is fake, and Mrs. Zun regards her daughter as her own life, so how could she kill her. But you can't find her, right? The case You have already reported it. If you don’t close the case, you can’t close it on the government side. If Mrs. Zun is not dead, you can’t explain it to Mr. Xie. You simply put the two together, forged a suicide note, and tried to cover up everything with a crazy sentence. What a pity, you Can't hide it."

"I think Miss Ann is crazy too."

"Your daughter is in my hands."

Liu Ze's expression finally changed.

"Li Xiu'er is also in my hands."

Liu didn't speak.

"I guess these two things will make Mr. Xie very unhappy." An Ruochen said: "But maybe I misunderstood again. I misunderstood that Mr. Xie asked you to kill Li Xiu'er to get rid of the troubles and show your loyalty. I would be so misunderstanding It’s because, to silence one person, it’s enough to kill one person. Even if you pretend to be a robber to do the crime, you don’t have to drag down the people in the whole street. Mr. Xie has done this before, and that’s how he killed Old Man Chen in Pinghu East Lane. And you burned the whole street, killed and burned so many people, and robbed so many households, just to cover up that you didn't kill the people you wanted to kill at all. It was for Mr. Xie to see. Who knows if the body was burned like that It's not Li Xiu'er."

Liu Ze quietly clenched his fists.

"If Mr. Xie knows that you are not doing well, but still deceives him, do you think he will let you go? Or, I will report to the officials, Zhao Jiahua is not dead, and let the officials search your house. No matter what you beat I can destroy all my ideas. If you still want to live in peace and stability and be your restaurant owner Liu, you must do as I say. "

Liu Ze sneered: "Miss An has such a big tone."

An Ruochen smiled: "I dare to come here, of course I have made thorough preparations. In the past, I had no evidence to deal with you for a long time. Now I hold your handle, and I still have witnesses in my hand. I have the upper hand. You Listen clearly, if I can’t walk out of this door, the military will come in immediately and arrest your whole family. If I walk out of this door, Mr. Xie will know that you have betrayed him. He will also immediately find a killer to execute you. You see , is really a big problem. It seems that no matter what you do, you will die."

Liu Ze pursed his lips tightly, and had to admit in his heart that An Ruochen was right.

An Ruochen looked at him, and said again: "But you still have a choice. I walked out of this door, frustrated and angry, I couldn't find anything, but I couldn't do anything when I saw Mrs. Zun's body. I'm really ashamed of the general. And you, hang up your bell and ask Mr. Xie out. Give him to me, and you will be safe."

Liu Ze rolled his eyes, thinking quickly.

"Back then, Matchmaker Xu listened to my suggestion and said to go back and think about it. After thinking about it for so long, I didn't even have time to know which path she wanted to take in the end."

Liu Ze naturally knew which way Xu Matchmaker went, the dead end. And he didn't want to go.

"Mr. Xie is a suspicious person." An Ruochen reminded him calmly.

Liu knows. So he knew very well that An Ruochen's trick was really cruel. She was more difficult than he imagined. He underestimated her. He had already planned everything, but she was one step ahead.

Liu Ze was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know Mr. Xie."

"Then who do you know?"

"In my place, his surname is Min, and I call him Mr. Min."

An Ruochen's mind buzzed, and she remembered that in Zhaofu Restaurant, she passed by that "Mr. Min" who was going back and forth to buy eight-treasure duck. is it him? !

"Appears in his twenties and thirties, is amiable, with good features, looks like nothing special, tall and tall."

"right."

An Ruochen took a breath, it turned out to be. She passed him by, and he just dangled in front of her in such a majestic manner.

"What's his full name?"

"do not know."

"Where do you live?"

"do not know."

Liu Ze looked at the suspicion in An Ruochen's eyes, and said, "I really don't know. He has always come to me. I once had people follow him, but he also drove me away."

"What are you doing for him?"

"Listen to the news, look for candidates, and circulate money."

"Use restaurants and casinos?"

"right."

"How long ago did you start?"

"Almost four years ago."

"How did it start?"

"If I can see General Long alive, I will tell him personally. If you want to know more, you must let me meet General Long."

An Ruochen stared at Liu Ze. She knew that this was an exchange condition proposed by Liu Ze. If you want information, keep him safe. If he can see General Long alive, it means that neither Mr. Xie nor Mr. Min can kill him.

"You ask him out and we can catch him."

Liu Ze sneered: "You don't know how to deal with him at all, do you? There are people from him in Ziyun Tower."

"Who is it?" Speaking of this, An Ruochen was very serious.

"I don't know." Liu Ze shook his head: "Believe it or not, Xu Matchmaker worked for me, but she didn't know that I was also working for Mr. Min until she died. That's it. I know he has people in the army and in the yamen. There are people in the market, but I don't know who."

"why?"

"If the result of inquiring is death, why take the risk of inquiring?"

"What benefits can you get from working for him?"

Liu Ze smiled: "Do you think my restaurant can be the largest in Zhonglan City and the most famous in Pingnan County? Is it because of me? If you have money and friends, you can do things easily. If you don't do it, someone else will do it. Others will do it." Naturally, you have to get rid of the one blocking the way."

"Since you rely on friends, it is impossible for you to know nothing about Mr. Min's people. Isn't one of your functions to find candidates? Matchmaker Xu doesn't know what you do, but you know her."

"What I know, I will tell General Long."

"You have to give me one or two names, otherwise the general thinks you are worth it."

"If I wasn't worth it, you wouldn't be sitting here. Instead, you need to convince me that you are not worth it. You are just a pawn. I don't care what methods you used to get close to General Long, but you are just a woman. Even if you can General Confused Dragon, your position in Ziyun Tower is nothing more than that. You are just a servant, what use can you be?"

"I thought my usefulness was obvious." An Ruochen stared at him, "Either I die or you die. Or we can choose a good path so that everyone can be safe."

Liu Ze leaned forward and approached her with a fierce face: "How can I be sure which side you are on? Everyone is safe? You are telling a joke. Mr. Min has repeatedly stated that he cannot touch you. Why? Maybe you belong to him at all, you By the general's side, use our pawns to win the trust of the general and obtain more important information."

An Ruochen was stunned for a moment: "He said that? What about my fourth sister, do you have any news about her?"

Liu Ze watched her reaction and leaned back. Shaking his head: "So you still don't know anything. You don't understand what he is, what his plans are, who he is, what his weaknesses are, what he is capable of...you want to catch him! Why do you want to catch him? ?!"

An Ruochen gritted her teeth. "You just ask him out. Although it is risky, but now is the best time. The general is not here, he is taking it lightly, but you have something to discuss with him, he will come out. You burned half the street and killed so many people. He must be quite dissatisfied with making such a big fuss. If you wait any longer, either he has already silenced you, or he has sensed the danger and hid himself. You will not be able to ask him anymore. Everyone will find you Not to him."

"He will know it's a trap, and someone will notify him immediately." Liu Ze stood up, no longer calm, "You are as stupid as Ah Hua, you women can only do bad things."

"No one from the military took action. The yamen wants to round up the arsonists, and no one wants to catch them. No one knows our plan. Who will notify him?"

Liu Ze was taken aback.

"Unless you tipped the news." An Ruochen said, "Unless you seek death yourself."

Liu Ze stared at An Ruochen, thought for a while, and then sat down again: "How do you settle the other side of the yamen and make them obey you?"

"I'll tell you how I did it after you explain clearly to General Long about the crime."

Liu Ze was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

An Ruochen said: "I don't think I need to remind you, don't make the same mistakes as Matchmaker Xu."

Liu Ze looked up at her.

An Ruochen struck while the iron was hot: "How do you contact this Mr. Min?"

"Bell." Liu Ze gritted his teeth, "Use a bell."

An Ruochen stayed in Liu's mansion for a long time, Tian Qing couldn't help but discuss with Lu Zheng whether to sneak into Liu's mansion. After all, Ms. An has experienced few things. If Liu is really meticulous, she might not be able to handle it alone. Lu Zheng agreed. Just as he was about to ask Tian Qing to meet him outside, he went in to have a look, and the door of Liu's mansion opened.

An Ruochen walked out with a sullen face.

Tian Qing and Lu Zheng rushed up to ask about the situation.

An Ruochen said: "We can only pry his mouth open when the general comes back."

Tian Qing frowned: "Then arrest him first."

"No." An Ruochen was very serious with a straight face, "If the wrong person is caught, the general will be caught by someone with a heart. If the wrong person is not caught, other secret agents will be caught when they see Liu, and they will definitely escape and hide. Let's wait for the general Come back and make a decision. We have no evidence, and if he doesn’t confess, he can’t do anything. Now he thinks he has bluffed me, and we can delay for a while. When the general comes back, things will be easier to handle.”

The three walked back together, but they met a woman on the way, An Ruochen stopped: "That's the person next to the magistrate's wife."

The woman saw An Ruochen, and hurried over: "Oh, girl, what a coincidence. Madam said today that she saw that the girl was wearing thin clothes, and wanted to give her a thick cloak, which was newly made. This was my wife's kindness. In the end, I I went to Ziyun Tower, but the girl was not there, so I came back here. I was thinking about going again tomorrow, but I happened to meet by chance. Then give it to the girl here."

"Thank you, Mommy." An Ruochen quickly took it. When picking up the cloak, he quietly stuffed a piece of paper into the woman's hand. The mother-in-law hurriedly held the paper in her palm under the cover of the cloak, and stuffed it into her sleeve naturally. She smiled at An Ruochen: "Then put it away. I'll talk to Madam right now."

Not long after, Meng Jiayue received the news from An Ruochen that Liu Ze had been persuaded, and the other party hung up a bell to make an appointment to meet at the Guanliu Pavilion outside the East City Gate at noon tomorrow.

Meng Jiayue showed the note to Yao Kun, and after reading it, she burned the note with a candle.

Yao Kunyu's anger still persisted: "How dare they set their minds on you."

Meng Jiayue took his hand: "My husband is the prefect of Pingnan County, those small operations will naturally regard me as a target. Tomorrow is a good opportunity. My lord must take down the boss. General Long is not here. This is a great achievement, my lord." Yes, if you keep Pingnan County safe, the common people will be grateful to your lord."

Yao Kun hugged her into his arms: "You should be more careful on weekdays, and bring a few more guards with you when you go in and out."

Meng Jiayue felt a sweetness in her heart, and smiled at Yao Kun, feeling contented to have a husband like this.

An Ruochen went out early the next morning. She passed Zhaofu Restaurant and took a look. Every window in the restaurant was decorated with two bells, one white and one red. This should have given a signal and made an appointment.

An Ruochen was willing to place this bet.

An Ruochen sat down on the second floor of a teahouse in the back street of Liu's Mansion. From here, he could see the big tree and a small area in the backyard of Liu's Mansion, as well as the front yard gate of Jubao Casino.

This place is also closer to the yamen, if the prefect manages to capture Mr. Min at noon, she will know immediately.

An Ruochen drank tea slowly and waited.

Qi Zheng felt that the atmosphere in the gambling house this morning was very wrong. Although this time is the worst time for the casino business, it has never been as deserted as it is today. And early in the morning, a son came to Boss Lou. When the two first met, they gave each other a look without saying a word, and went upstairs.
