Chapter 230 Lord ‘Wei Senjin’…

Because all the preparations have been completed, the next step is to wait for the results. Therefore, in the next few days, the few remaining purchasing team members basically stayed at their base and did not go out.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't know what's out there. Burni runs here several times every day to deliver the latest things he collects. Although there was almost nothing of value in it, during this critical period, everyone did not dare to be careless and filtered it carefully.

Generally speaking, the biggest news these days is about the Temple of Light. It seems that a messenger from the Holy City has come to Hanshui City. Although he was just an errand boy to put it bluntly, he came from the Holy City after all, so believers in the city were running to the church these days. I must have charged a lot for the sesame oil there. Oh, no, it’s called selfless devotion to God here.

Tang En is naturally not interested in this. He has not left or stepped out of the door these days. Except for eating, he spends the rest of his time in the system space. He is competing with the shadow hiding skill. Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason to avoid Fei Rui.

The invitation was something that happened casually. Tang En would not tell others about it. After all, it was an obvious favor. But it didn't take long for Tang En to realize that this decision seemed to be wrong. These days, whenever Fei Rui saw him, he would flatter him, nod and bow. Fortunately, she is not a daughter, otherwise it would be a gesture of physical sacrifice. To start with, Tang En still found it useful. But seeing too much of it makes me a little tired. Later on, I even hid whenever I could, and even regretted giving the invitation to this unscrupulous guy... But fortunately, these disturbances were not too frequent, and Fei Rui was very busy recently. No matter how resentful they were, Bosco's direct subordinates still taught Ferry one by one the contents of the list, the points to note in negotiations, etc. There was no way, Bosco had to have someone to assist him in order to have an overview of the overall situation, and Tang En didn't care about this, so he could only rely on him now.

Three days passed by in a flash, and the various teams that had taken possession of the stolen goods also rushed back one after another.

The ending was good, no big surprises. Although a small team encountered robbers, the soldiers accompanying them were all elites of the Gray Army, and they were able to successfully repel the robbers without losing a few people.

After several parties gathered together, the value of these stolen goods was calculated. The total value was more than 3.2 million, which would be comparable to what Tang En said casually before.

Although such a huge amount is shocking, it is not unexpected. In fact, the value of those gold and silver treasures is much more than that. If you buy them back from the store, it won't be a big problem to double them. However, these things are shady stolen goods after all. Coupled with the rush, it is not easy to exceed three million.

Because time was tight, the civil servants quickly readjusted the contents of the list based on the money. Then I took out some shopping and bought some things for the appearance. After all, I was attending a high-level banquet. If I dressed shabby, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't get in. Besides, the sellers chose to negotiate here because they wanted to know their background. In this case, naturally we cannot be careless.

.........Time always flies when we are busy, and before we know it, dusk has begun to fall.

It was a perfectly normal evening, and Hanshui City still looked the same. Most of the citizens came back from work tired, or went straight to the tavern to vomit about the hardships of life under the stimulation of slightly drunk alcohol. Or you could be brave and buy some candies and fish on the way home, looking forward to a little surprise from your family... And Hanshui City's largest mobile business group either stayed or set off at this time. After passing through familiar cities and meeting strange people, the final result is just separation and embarking on an unknown journey. Maybe some of them also like Hanshui City, and if they are lucky, they can come back and visit again. Or maybe when the dead souls float into the sky, look at this place again... everything is so ordinary and quiet. This city is like the surrounding cold water, always flowing, seeing off the old and welcoming the new, but it never changes.

But in fact, there are some changes in Hanshui City tonight, a little lively and a little more aura of wealth. This change is not obvious. Perhaps you can only get a glimpse of it from the gorgeous carriages passing by on the main road from time to time, the large-scale dispatch of guard cavalry, etc. The stone sinks to the bottom of the lake and the waves cease. These changes soon returned to calm, far away from the living circles of citizens, and finally concentrated in Dongcheng District, which was inaccessible to ordinary people.

Or to be precise, Shuiyue Manor in Dongcheng District.

Shuiyue, from the name, you can tell that this manor is somewhat different from ordinary noble manors. In fact, this is exactly the case. This is not a residence of a noble family, but a place dedicated to leisure and entertainment for nobles.

This kind of manor is not uncommon and can be found in almost every city. To be honest, the aristocrats and wealthy businessmen are not short of money, nor are they short of free time. What they lack is this kind of place to spend their free time.

Of course, the purpose of this kind of manor is not just leisure and entertainment. Basically, this is a social platform for nobles and celebrities. Therefore, it is appropriate to hold some large banquets here.

At dusk, all the lights in Shuiyue Manor have been turned on, and the various statues and fountains in the square in front of the gate have begun to rotate and spray. Waiters in uniforms with absolutely standard behavior appeared one after another, receiving the gorgeous carriages arriving one after another... There is no doubt that a large banquet is about to start here.

Parking, dismounting, greetings, handing out invitations... Although more and more people arrived, the atmosphere became increasingly lively. But everything in Shuiyue Manor seemed so orderly and calm.

At this time, there is a parking space on the right side of the square.

"Ha, I finally found you, Tang..."

"Aha, long time no see, Mr. Jack!" Two middle-aged men in exquisite tuxedos hugged each other, and then a deep voice passed between them, "From now on, my name is Arthur. "

"Sorry, I'm feeling a little excited."

"understand!"

Bang bang bang, the two patted each other on the back a few times and then separated.

Needless to say, these two middle-aged men who seemed to be reunited after a long separation were none other than Tang En and Fei Rui.

Banquets have established rules. If there are no accidents, people with high status will generally arrive at the end. People like Tang En and others who came in disguise and had ulterior motives couldn't be ignored, so they all arrived at the venue early. Of course, it is impossible for two people to ride in the same car. That would seem stingy and might attract others' attention.

Although these are just small details, given the important mission here tonight, I have to make everything as perfect as possible.

Fei Rui kept a reserved smile on his face, twisted his body slightly, and whispered: "These clothes are really awkward... Well, Arthur, thank you..."

"If you say thank you again and give me a compliment, then give me back the 80,000 gold coins!" Tang En touched his nose and said viciously in a low voice.

"Uh, cough..." Fei Rui's expression changed. He looked at the grand scene in front of him and quickly changed the subject, "Well, it's really dreamy. My family used to be a small vendor, and I didn't expect that I could come here... That Arthur, I won’t reveal my secret, what if someone wants to chat with me?”

"Don't worry." Tang En shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Do you think everyone here understands the aristocratic stuff? All you have to do is hold the wine glass in the posture I taught you, and then listen with a smile. As for the gesture, the most you can do is say "um", "ah", "oh", etc., and then clap lightly."

"Understood!" Fei Rui cheered up after hearing this. He was originally a smart person, and dealing with people was his strength. The reason why he was feeling awkward and nervous now was because he had never been exposed to such an environment.

Turning his head to look, Tang En showed a narrow smile on his lips and whispered: "Let's go, let's go find Mr. Sanitary Napkin."

"Wei Senjin...Hey, Arthur, why is the minister's name so formal, but mine is so rustic." Ferry raised his eyebrows and said a little unwillingly.

The disguises of the three of them were arranged by Tang En himself, and the pseudonyms on the invitation and the roses in the lower right corner were naturally written and drawn by him.

"Oh?" Tang En's cheeks twitched twice and he pinched the bridge of his nose to hold back his smile, "How about we discuss with that old guy and exchange your names?"

Fei Rui glanced at Tang En suspiciously, frowned and thought: "What's your expression...Does this name have any other meanings? No, the minister is well-informed. If there is a problem, how can he not respond?"

Humph, if you react, it will really be a ghost...Twain chuckled a little at first, and then said with a serious face, "What are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Fei Rui glanced at Tang En, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's hard to tell if it's someone else, but the minister... let alone the distance, just a few days ago, the minister sent an accompanying person regardless of his personal safety. When I was a guarding soldier, your solemn atmosphere was completely destroyed by just reimbursing the deposit. I saw the minister's face turned green and he was speechless."

Tang En touched his nose: "Well, you are thinking too much."

"Think too much? It's okay to lie to others..." Fei Rui curled his lips disdainfully, and then lowered his voice and said, "Arthur, is it really irreconcilable between you and the minister?"

Tang En turned his head and glanced at Fei Rui, then pinched his chin: "Some things are hard to talk about... If it is some small conflict and I don't need to express it, then the old and cunning guy will stay away and not mess with me. This is stupid. But the actual situation now is that some of my actions should involve him. And his goals may be blocked by me! Well, it is irreconcilable. "

"Understood!" Fei Rui took a long breath after hearing this and nodded heavily.

"Haha, actually you don't have to make a choice." Tang En chuckled and said casually.

Fei Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How is it possible? I have accepted so many benefits from you. I must have been labeled as an enemy in the heart of the minister...that old guy. And since I have accepted it, I can't take it either." Take it, if I continue to play both sides, who will I become?"

Tang En laughed and shook his head, saying nothing more.

As I said before, getting along with people is Ferry's strength. Call him smart or scheming. This is a character who has the impression of being a good person no matter who he is. But now Ferry has undoubtedly broken his consistent principles and made his position clear. He chose to side with Tang En and become the enemy of Minister Bosco.

Although Ferry is just a small person now, to be honest, this sounds a bit pretentious. But Tang En is not the kind of person who pays attention to the other person's identity. Although he didn't say anything after hearing this, he really recognized this smart friend in his heart.

Bosco's carriage had been led to the square on the left by a waiter, so if you wanted to find him, you had to cross the entire square in front of the gate. But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far away, wow... The people around him heard the commotion and turned their heads subconsciously. To the left, towards the outside, a group of nobles and wealthy businessmen did not gather due to their reserve, but their faint entourage also enhanced their momentum.

At the front of the crowd, a silver-haired old man responded to everyone's greetings with a smile. From his clothing, temperament and the time of his appearance, it can be seen that he is not a great nobleman. But the nobles and wealthy businessmen around him were all vying to nod and greet him with quite eager expressions.

"Mr. Hua is here too." Tang En's eyes moved slightly and he whispered thoughtfully.

Hua Lao is naturally Huais from Yatang Shop in Hanshui City. It is something he can imagine when he comes here. Although he is just a businessman, he is also just a shop owner. But Huais's actual status in Hanshui City is not low, even compared to some big nobles.

The degree of need determines the value. Although the nobles are full of elegant taste, it definitely does not mean that they don't like money. I believe that without money, it would be difficult for them to have elegant taste. Not to mention the wealthy businessmen, the Yatang Chamber of Commerce is simply a miracle in their eyes. Now as long as there is a cooperative relationship with the name Yatang, the result will be a huge profit. From this point of view, the swarming formation in front of us is not surprising.

It was naturally impossible for Tang En to say hello to Huais in his current attire, so he just glanced at it from a distance, and then he and Fei Rui bypassed the crowd and continued walking to the square on the left.

Although there were many people here, it didn't take much effort to find him. After all, Tang En had made the disguise. After a while, they saw Bosco beside a fountain.

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of having been in this circle." Fei Rui smacked his mouth, shook his head and sighed.

It turned out that Bosco was now in a small group with several nobles, chatting with each other. And it can be clearly seen that Bosco took the initiative to speak. With the gestures, several people around him were listening, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. In comparison, Fei Rui's previous cramps and nervousness were undoubtedly inferior. This was unacceptable.

In fact, this scene is completely normal. Bosco was originally a nobleman. Although he had been away from this environment for some time, he had lived in this circle for most of his life, and some things had been burned into his bones. Moreover, Tang En also took this into consideration when disguising himself, so he only slightly changed the shape of his face to create the identity of a viscount noble from another city passing by. In this way, with his scheming methods, it would be easy for him to become the focus among several nobles.

He must have seen Tang En standing not far away. After Bosco said a few words, he got out of there and walked towards this side.

Tang En stepped forward to greet him and saluted solemnly: "Haha, Mr. Viscount Sanitary Napkin, long time no see." He and Fei Rui pretended to be businessmen. Of course they had to salute when they saw the noble Viscount, and Tang En was a bit evil in this. Fun and not to be missed.

"Oh? It turns out to be His Excellency Arthur!" Bosco said with an appropriate surprise on his face, and he replied reservedly.

Install it, then install it, be careful that the sanitary napkin can’t even be installed! Wow haha...Twain's face was tangled, he lowered his head and tried hard to hold back a smile. Of course, the villain in his heart was already rolling all over the floor and laughing... When Ferry came up to say hello, Tang En relied on the killer's professional facial expression training to finally maintain a calm expression, neither salty nor bland. He whispered: "Master Sanitary Napkin, this is a visit to the old place. How is it? Do you feel any different?"

"Haha, it's really a little different." As if he didn't notice the faint sting in Tang En's words, Bosco chuckled and shook his head. He looked at the scene in front of him with some regret and whispered to himself, "If my family If I had not been punished and suppressed, I would probably be one of them. I rush to parties and banquets every day, and spend my life in the foam caused by the collision of wine glasses. "

"Tsk, tsk, I'm really emotional." Tang En slapped his mouth, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Sanitary Napkin seemed to have a very happy chat with some noble friends just now."

"Just asking for information, the theme of this banquet seems to be the Holy City envoys rewarding clergy who have made meritorious services." Bosco said casually, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang En: "Your Excellency Arthur, don't you think that I want to rebel? Bar?"

"I don't dare, this is not my job. Of course, if someone really rebels, I don't mind giving him a ride." Tang En curled his lips slightly and said closer, "I just want to remind Mr. Sanitary Napkin that today Times are different from the past, your identity is fake, please don’t do anything like becoming the center of attention again, otherwise an accident will be detrimental to the transaction.”

The seller chose to trade here, so he naturally wanted to check Tang En's status. If Bosco attracts attention, who knows that there is no one from the city where the forgery noble is located. When the identity is exposed, it will inevitably cause accidents in the procurement plan.

Patting his head, Bosco didn't pay attention to the killing intent in Tang En's previous words, and apologized: "Sorry, my previous habit was too strong, um, I will pay attention."

"That's the best. It's getting late, sanitary napkin please." There is no doubt that Tang En's left and right words are to fulfill the name of Bosco sanitary napkin.

Bosco was naturally unaware of this, nodded reservedly, and took the lead towards the door.

He said it was nothing... Fei Rui looked at Tang En's unconcealable smile next to him and curled his lips and said to himself. But having said that, I really can’t figure out what’s wrong with the name Wei Senjin… After handing in the invitation, there was no movement, and a waiter came out to guide a few people.

However, Tang En suddenly realized that when he handed over the invitations just now, the man who looked like a butler had clearly scanned their faces one by one. Don't underestimate these professional aristocratic butlers. They welcome and deliver guests. As long as you want to remember someone, you will never forget it.

Not long after, the waiter who led the way opened a door. In an instant, warm wind blew on my face, and chaotic sounds reached my ears...
