Chapter 987: Scammer Mao Buhui
"Senior Brother?"
At this moment, Mao Bugui was shocked, but soon, the shocked look disappeared, replaced by a look of excitement.
"Senior Brother, is it really you? You, why are you here?" Mao Bugui stepped forward, grabbed the sloppy man's hand, and said in disbelief.
"Well, this is a long story, little brother, I'm so hungry, damn, following Minister Chen, I'm hungry three times a day, hurry up, give me that lobster..."
Mao Buhui said, while rolling up his sleeves, grabbing a big lobster and chewing it.
He didn't even peel the shell, and bit it crisply.
"Director Zhang." At this time, the woman in her sixties suddenly straightened her hunched body and slowly entered the private room.
As she slowly moved forward, her body made a crisp sound of "crackling". Then, her skinny body gradually became plump, and her originally hunched body became slender. Even her gray hair gradually turned black. The
most amazing thing was her face.
At this moment, that wrinkled old face actually underwent an extremely magical change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The wrinkles gradually disappeared, the cloudy eyes glowed again, the slightly drooping corners of the mouth also rose again, and the eyelids full of crow's feet slowly turned into double eyelids...
In just a few seconds, a sixty-year-old, frail old lady turned into a twenty-something with a smile on her lips right under my eyes...
"You are... Chen Meng, Minister Chen?" I said in astonishment.
"Yes, yes, it's me." Chen Meng's personality seemed a little eccentric. After saying this, she stuck out her tongue at me proudly. That expression seemed to be asking, what do you think, am I awesome, am I great?
"Director Zhang, I have fulfilled my mission and brought Mao Buhui to you successfully."
I twitched my lips when I heard that. I thought to myself, you didn't bring her to me, you just robbed her.
"Gurgle..."
A discordant sound suddenly came from Chen Meng's stomach. Chen Meng rubbed her stomach awkwardly, and then said aggrievedly: "Is this my sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, I have not had a drop of water or a grain of rice to eat for the whole day and night for the task assigned to me by Director Zhang. I am so miserable..."
"Sister Chen Meng, please sit down and eat together." Chu Jiu smiled and pulled Chen Meng over, and put a lobster in front of Chen Meng.
"Okay, I won't be polite then!" After saying that, he picked up the lobster and started to chew it.
Like Mao Buhui, he didn't peel the shell and ate it crunchily.
I ignored Chen Meng and squinted my eyes and began to look at Mao Buhui.
Although this man is sloppy, it is not difficult to tell from his facial features that he must have been a manly and handsome man in his past. The most important thing is that although he is sloppy at the moment, he still exudes a kind of demeanor that is difficult to describe in words. It is a kind of... feeling that makes people believe him easily, just like some people are born with a bad face.
This Mao Buhui was born with a trustworthy face.
But I guess it is precisely this trustworthy face that has deceived many people.
"Big Brother, did you really... sneak out by yourself?" Mao Bugui asked in a low voice.
"Oh, what do you mean by sneaking out? Minister Chen and I ran out openly..." Mao Buhui said vaguely while struggling to pry the lobster clamp.
"..."
Hearing this, everyone had a black line on their heads.
Mao Buhui seemed to remember something. After touching his body, he suddenly took out a sword from his clothes.
The sword was one meter long, and there was a fairy crane and a coiled dragon carved on the scabbard. On the hilt, there was also a word "Tao".
Damn!
After seeing this sword, Mao Bugui stood up from his seat, staring with his eyes wide open, pointing at the sword, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Even Chujiu and I were stunned. After we looked at each other, we saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
"What the hell... could it be the treasure of Maoshan, and also the token of the headmaster... the sword of Taoism?"
My eyelids twitched wildly, and the corners of my mouth kept twitching.
"Damn, even if Chen Meng brought the person back to me, it is clear that... he brought me a big trouble. And this Mao Buhui is too treacherous. It's okay for him to sneak down the mountain, but he actually stole the sword of Taoism. This guy... does he want to sell it again?"
"Big, big senior brother, how did you... steal the sword of the head master?" After a brief shock, Mao Bugui finally stammered out a sentence.
Unexpectedly, Mao Buhui looked nonchalant. He ruffled his messy hair, wiped the oil on his hands and said, "What are you afraid of? I've sold it before. But, what's the market price of this sword now? Junior brother, can you help me find out later..."
"..."
Everyone frowned when they heard this, and the look they gave Mao Buhui changed from curiosity to an idiot.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's just a broken sword. I did everything in my life. Not to mention a broken sword, I even sold the sword manual of our Maoshan Sect's Maoshan Fast Sword. That guy was so stupid that he spent 5 million to buy such a rubbish sword manual. What a fool!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere, and we were stunned.
"Five million to buy the real sword manual of Maoshan Fast Sword? Qianyu, I... I'm a little tempted. I also want to be a fool for once!" Chujiu, who was standing aside, said in amazement.
I nodded when I heard that: "10 million is fine, I'm also quite an ungrateful person..."
You know, that is one of the top sword techniques in the world, and that person actually only spent 5 million to get it?
For a cultivator, money is only a thing outside of the body, but the method of cultivation is the most important thing. In the black market, many entry-level cultivation methods can be sold at sky-high prices. If a sword manual of the level of Maoshan Fast Sword is sold on the black market, then I estimate that it will definitely be sold at an eye-popping sky-high price.
I swallowed my saliva with a "gulp". At this time, Mao Buhui finally finished his meal and burped. He then looked at me, scratched his head and said, "Sorry, sorry. I was too hungry just now and didn't have time to say hello to everyone. Hey, you must be Director Zhang from the Intelligence Bureau, right? I heard that you asked Minister Chen to come and ask for someone. Haha, thank you, Director Zhang. Hey, this is our first meeting and I don't have anything to give as a gift. How about I write down the swordplay of Maoshan Fast Sword and give it to Director Zhang as a gift?"
Me: "..."
Chu Jiu: "..."
Mao Bugui: "..."
