Chapter 663 Old-fashioned Stories

"Is this the trace of fresh soil you're looking for?" Wu Jie squatted down, digging through the weeds, revealing the trace of fresh soil underneath.

Xu Shaotang didn't answer Wujie's words, but just squatted down and slowly dug down the fresh soil with his hands. When he dug all the fresh soil on the surface, the objects in the pit were fully exposed.

A jug of wine!

And it should be a jar of old wine, at least longer than the jar of wine that Xu Shaotang buried.

Wujie looked at the jar of wine in the pit in surprise, looked at Xu Shaotang in wonder, and asked, "Why is there a jar of wine here? Isn't this what you're looking for?"

Xu Shaotang nodded slightly, and covered the soil that had just been dug up again with a complicated expression, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Seeing Xu Shaotang's actions, Wujie was even more puzzled. Xu Shaotang dug open and closed the inside, what was he doing? Did he just want to look at this jar of wine?

"Let's go!" Xu Shaotang stood up and glanced into the distance in confusion. His guess has basically been confirmed, and now he just needs to find the person involved to make a final confirmation.

"Really leaving this time?" Wujie asked suspiciously.

Xu Shaotang nodded desolately, and said, "Really go..."

This time, they really left. Xu Shaotang handed over the task of driving to Wu Jie, while he sat in the co-pilot thinking about things. Now he is thinking about what he should do.

When the car drove into the urban area, Xu Shaotang asked Wu Jie to stop the car and let Wu Jie play with his own.

Wujie saw that Xu Shaotang's expression was getting more and more strange, and asked tentatively: "Are you really okay? If you have something on your mind, you can tell me."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself." After Xu Shaotang said something to Wujie, he stopped the taxi next to him and said, "Go to Zongheng Group!"

……

This is Xu Shaotang's second visit to the Zongheng Group, but the mood gap before and after this is extremely large.

The smiles of the triplet sisters at the front desk were still sweet, and their memories were also very good. They knew that Xu Shaotang was Qin Zongheng's friend. Seeing Xu Shaotang walk in, one greeted him, and the other had already called Qin Zongheng.

After receiving the call, Qin Zongheng came downstairs quickly, looked at Xu Shaotang who looked a little wrong, and asked, "Why do you come to me when you have time? I thought you should be very busy recently."

"Go to your office and talk." Xu Shaotang slightly nodded to Qin Zongheng, staring straight at Qin Zongheng, as if he wanted to see through Qin Zongheng who was smiling at him.

Qin Zongheng noticed Xu Shaotang's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling a bad premonition.

Although there were ups and downs in his heart, Qin Zongheng didn't show it on his face. He kept a nonchalant smile and led Xu Shaotang to his office.

Entering Qin Zongheng's office, Xu Shaotang still maintained the kind of eyes that wanted to see through Qin Zongheng. His needle-like eyes looked at Qin Zongheng's heart a little hairy.

"What's the matter, you might as well just tell me, you look at me like that, it makes me very uncomfortable." Qin Zongheng sat down in front of the tea table, and said to Xu Shaotang while making tea.

Xu Shaotang walked up to Qin Zongheng and sat down, sighed slightly, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you buried the jar of old wine in front of the wine lunatic's grave, right?"

Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Qin Zongheng's tea-making hand couldn't help shaking slightly, and the tea spilled out. The astonishment on his face flashed, and then he returned to normal, nodded slightly and said: "Didn't you say that he is addicted to alcohol?" Well, that jar of old wine is also my gratitude to him."

"Thank him for what?" Xu Shaotang looked at the tea spilled on the tea table, and said, "Thank him for killing Xia Yu to avenge Lianxin? Or thank him for not telling the whole story of the Gu family murder until his death? Or, Are you ashamed of him?"

After Xu Shaotang's words came out, the teapot in Qin Zongheng's hand suddenly stopped, facing Xu Shaotang's falcon-like eyes, the calm expression on his face could no longer be maintained.

"Have you guessed it all?" Qin Zongheng put the teapot in his hand on the tea table, picked up the half cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, put the teacup heavily on the table, looked at Xu Shaotang and said: "You Deliberately speaking at the grave of the drunk lunatic that he is addicted to alcohol is actually to test me, isn't it?"

If Qin Zongheng didn't understand before, but after Xu Shaotang said his guess, Qin Zongheng had already thought of the key point, and he still couldn't hide this matter, even if the wine lunatic kept his mouth shut about it.

Originally, he could hide it, but when he saw the corpse of the drunk lunatic, even if his heart was as strong as his, he couldn't hide his guilt for the drunk lunatic.

Xu Shaotang didn't expect Qin Zongheng to admit it so readily. When he was struggling, he admired Qin Zongheng. It took a lot of courage to admit it. In fact, Qin Zongheng could deny it completely, even if Xu Shaotang had already guessed it. From the beginning to the end of that incident, he still had no direct evidence to confirm his guess.

"How did you meet the drunk lunatic?" Xu Shaotang asked with a complicated expression.

Hearing Xu Shaotang's question, Qin Zongheng showed nostalgia on his sad face, thought for a while, and said: "We knew each other more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was still the best Qin Zongheng in the capital. Calling the wine lunatic, he is Hua Qianshu, a free and unrestrained knight! Yes, he is a knight!"

Speaking of this, Qin Zongheng put the word "knight" very seriously, it seems that only these two words can be worthy of the evaluation of the drunk lunatic.

After a pause, Qin Zongheng continued: "Although I was the best in the capital at that time, I was not without enemies. Many people once wanted to put me to death. Someone once wanted to assassinate me, but I was lucky enough to be captured by a drunk lunatic. Save, it's such an old-fashioned story, but we became friends, but, the greatest misfortune in his life, maybe he met me as a friend, right?"

"It is indeed a very old-fashioned story." Xu Shaotang nodded slightly, and said: "The wine lunatic is indeed a knight, and he has a knight's code of conduct in his heart, but this knight's code of conduct did not bring him benefits, but harmed him. His life."

Whether it was saving Qin Zongheng, self-imposed exile for 20 years, or killing Xia Yu later and admitting to Xia Jiuli that he was the murderer who killed Xia Yu, all revealed a unique code of chivalry.

A person like a drunk lunatic is born unable to get used to the world of intrigue and deceit. A person like him should live a life of wandering around the world as his home.
