Chapter 601: Coincidence
When we came to Donghai to see Xu Daofu, Wei Jie had to come in person. Only in this way can we show their sincerity in cooperating with Xu Daofu. However, in Wang Zhene's view, Wei Jie's move to go out to sea was a vivid emotional act, but this is the charm of Wei Jie!
Wei Jie followed Yuan Zhan out immediately, and Wang Zhene naturally couldn't sit down. After looking at Zhang Da and smiling bitterly, he stood up one after another and walked out of the door.
When Wei Jie walked out of the room, Yuan Zhan was whispering with the waiter at the entrance of the restaurant. It should be that he was negotiating with the waiter about the ship!
"Brother Shishen, how about it?" Wei Jie walked slowly to Yuan Zhan and asked as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Zhan frowned slightly, and couldn't help looking behind the Weijie. He saw Wang Zhene and Zhang Da were also walking down the stairs. He whispered in a low voice, "Shubao, do you have to destroy the rules you set yourself?"
"Rules are dead, people are alive. Brother Shishen doesn't need to say much. You should be clear about Wei Jie's choice in your heart!" Wei Jie shook his head and said.
"And, Brother Shishen, you should be more accustomed to one thing, that is, the Weijie words are just rules?"
Personal will override any rules or even the law. This is the most true portrayal of today's society. The so-called emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people is just a verbal statement!
Except for Ma Wencai and Taweijie, the people here should be more accustomed to this kind of thinking pattern!
Yuan Zhan stopped talking, but looked at Wang Zhene and Zhang Da who were walking down the stairs with a little dissatisfaction. The two of them immediately smiled helplessly.
"Dear men, going to sea is not a joke. You might as well wait. Boss He will only be gone for ten days!" The waiter said with a wry smile when he saw that several people were surrounded.
"It's not that villain doesn't want to arrange ships for several old men. It's really that Boss He gave instructions before leaving. The old men are extremely important to our Governor Xu. We must serve us well and never make any mistakes..."
"Boss He has not returned for ten days. We really don't want to wait any longer!" Wei Jie said with a smile.
"This guy doesn't have to make things difficult. Just prepare a boat for me. I promise you that we will never go back!"
"But uncle..."
The waiter looked embarrassed and wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Zhang Da slightly impatiently.
"Where did you come from so many words? Did the old man kick the other day not heavy enough? Just prepare if you want to prepare. Remember to find a better boat and prepare more dry food and water. It is best to find a boatman who is used to dealing with the sea!"
Zhang Da was considerate and Wei Jie couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said, "Go and prepare. We are not going to the sea to die, but to welcome your Governor Xu to express our respect. Please rest assured!"
The waiter sighed slightly and said, "So, according to the instructions of several old men, but if he meets Boss He on the sea, if he asks about this, he will ask some old men to take care of him..."
After saying that, the waiter muttered in a low voice and shook his head and left.
"You want to die, can I still stop you? You just want to have someone accompany you to die, that's a dream!"
"Did you hear it?" Wang Zhene looked at the waiter's back and said to Wei Jie with a serious expression.
"For those of us who have never left the sea, the violent sea is a Shura hell!"
This is not Wang Zhene's style. Only Liu Muzhi will speak out without any scruples in front of Wei Jie. However, now that Liu Muzhi is not by Wei Jie, he feels that he should stand up and replace Liu Muzhi's role!
Wei Jie shook his head slightly, looking firmly at the sea not far away!
In less than half an hour, the waiter went back.
"My uncles, the ship has been prepared for you. You can rest for a while. The villain will prepare dry food and water for you now!"
After leaving a word, the waiter returned to the restaurant and became busy again.
Now that things have come to this point, Wang Zhene and others have nothing to say. Wei Jie is determined to go out to sea in person. What else can they do besides sacrificing their lives to accompany the gentleman?
"You don't have to worry so much. The so-called auspicious people will have their own heaven. If the major events of my Weijie have not been completed, how could I easily die from the sea?" Seeing this, Weijie said with a haha and pretending to be relaxed.
But Wei Jie's words could not cause any response. Except for Zhang Da's slightly unwilling look at the Wei Jie, Wang Zhene and Yuan Zhan directly turned a deaf ear and protested Wei Jie's disobedience with silence!
"Several adults, there are ships docked at the sea!"
The atmosphere at the entrance of the restaurant was a little depressing, but the waiter who was preparing supplies for several people to go to sea on the second floor of the restaurant sent a surprise shout.
Wei Jie and others were immediately excited. Usually, there would be no ships to moor the shore at this time. Could it be that He Futian is back?
"It's Boss He who is back!"
The waiter undoubtedly recognized that it was the Tianshidao ship from some marks on the ship, and then said happily.
Although the life and death of Wei Jie and others had nothing to do with him, He Futian emphasized the importance of these people before leaving. If they really died at the sea, He Futian would be angry and didn't know what punishment he would impose. Now that He Futian is back, Wei Jie and others naturally don't have to go out to sea anymore. The waiter was relieved!
It was indeed He Futian who came back. A quarter of an hour later, He Futian brought a few people to carry a bunch of things into the restaurant. When he passed by the entrance of the restaurant, he just politely greeted Wei Jie and others, but there was no unnecessary explanation.
Wei Jie's brows couldn't help but frowned slightly, he couldn't see through it!
There were not many people He Futian brought down from the ship, but only more than ten people were all coolies carrying goods. Xu Daofu had a special identity. He didn't know if Xu Daofu was hiding among these people, but with his eyesight, he really couldn't see that these more than ten people looked horizontally and vertically, they were all real coolies!
He Futian's attitude made Wei Jie a little confused. No matter what the result of returning to the base this time, shouldn't he explain to him immediately? What's the matter if he just returned to the restaurant in a quiet voice?
After a while, the waiter hurriedly ran down from the upper floor and came to Wei Jie and others. The smile on his face seemed a little unnatural.
I heard the waiter apologize and said: "Boss He said that he encountered a storm on his way back to the East China Sea, and he died all the way. Now I want to have a good rest, so I ask a few old men to go back to my room for a rest, and then ask a few old men to talk!"
Zhang Da was about to have an attack right now, but Wei Jie reached out to stop him.
"I'll go back to the room now. Please tell Boss He on his behalf, so that he can worry!"
After saying that, Wei Jie glanced at the people around him and took the lead in walking back into the room.
"Have Xu Daofu come?"
The person Wei Jie asked was Yuan Zhan. No one here had seen anyone except Yuan Zhan who might have seen Xu Daofu.
Although he had many contacts with Tianshidao, Xu Daofu had never met before. He had seen Sun Tai, Sun En, and Lu Dun, but Xu Daofu had never seen him!
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "Yuan Zhan is ashamed. He has never seen Xu Daofu's true face, and he has not seen who Xu Daofu is just now!"
"No matter how those people just looked at it, they were all real coolies. Xu Daofu is the military commander-in-chief of Tianshidao. How could he be mixed with it?" Zhang Da shook his head and said.
"A person's image can be slightly concealed, but how can this temperament be concealed?"
"In Zhang Da's opinion, Xu Daofu doesn't want to talk to us about cooperation at all. He Futian has returned but doesn't meet and explain it to us. I'm afraid he's going to do something with us!"
What Zhang Da said is reasonable. If Xu Dafu had no intention of meeting Wei Jie, it would mean that he was not interested in the cooperation between Wei Jie. It would be natural to take the opportunity to get rid of Wei Jie and avenge Sun Tai!
"What do you think about Brother Zhenye?"
Wei Jie frowned slightly. What Zhang Da said was exactly what he was worried about. At the moment, Wang Zhene, who had not expressed his opinion, wanted to hear his opinion.
"Xu Daofu is here!" Wang Zhene's words were quite shocking.
"I wonder if Shubao, have you noticed the tallest man in the last place among the coolies!"
After Wang Zhene said this, Wei Jie immediately showed a look of memories and nodded slightly.
"Wei Jie remembers that this last coolie is indeed much taller than others, but why can't Wei Jie seem to remember his appearance?"
After saying that, the Wei Jie became a little puzzled. The coolies lined up to pass by them and walked into the restaurant. It was no exaggeration to say that they had passed by each other. However, the last coolies could never remember the appearance of the coolies, and he could clearly remember the ones in front of them.
"Because there is a sweat towel on his shoulder!" Wang Zhenye said with a smile.
"When passing by us, he used this sweat towel to wipe his sweat, and also covered his appearance. If Zhenye guessed correctly, this person must be Xu Daofu, he is here!"
After Wang Zhene reminded him, Wei Jie thought about it carefully and it was really the case. At that time, this person's sweating movement seemed extremely natural, so Wei Jie naturally didn't take it seriously. In his subconscious, if Xu Daofu was hidden among these coolies, he would definitely not be ranked first or last, which would be a bit too conspicuous!
"Maybe this person is really wiping his sweat?" Zhang Da asked questioningly.
"Mr. Wang can determine that he is Xu Daofu based on his actions. Will it be a little arbitrary?"
"I wonder if you have noticed something, Zhang Da!" Wang Zhene said without comment.
"These coolies are all ragged. Now it's winter. The goods on their shoulders are not heavy. If they were a coolies who were used to doing rough work, would they sweat because of such a little goods? If Zhenye remembers it right, a few of them were already trembling with cold!"
"Also, Zhang Da, don't forget that they just experienced a storm, and they were afraid that the sea breeze was still chilling in their bones!"
Zhang Da was speechless immediately. Wang Zhene couldn't help but observe and analyze it thoroughly!
"Since you've come, it means that Xu Daofu has an interest in cooperating with us, so why did he hide it and avoid us?" Although he was speechless, it did not mean that he was convinced. Zhang Da continued to ask with some difficulty.
"This is easy to explain!" Wei Jie said in contemplation.
"Xu Daofu's identity is extraordinary, and it is natural to be cautious. He Futian is the owner of the restaurant and has the highest status. Naturally, he can only play He Futian's entourage, and being mixed with the coolie is the best way to hide his eyes!"
"As for not seeing us immediately, I think he wanted to consider our patience and further judge our sincerity in cooperation. And Xu Daofu is afraid that this move will not be without the intention of tempting us!"
Wang Zhene nodded in agreement. Obviously, what Wei Jie said coincided with what he was thinking!
"Test? What to test?" Zhang Da asked in confusion.
"Does Xu Daofu want to know whether we are as smart and wise as Brother Zhenye, who can see through the Tao, or are as stupid as you, as you are as stupid as a pig, and you can't see anything!"
Since it has been concluded that Xu Daofu has come, he has seen hope in cooperation. Wei Jie is naturally in a good mood and jokes about Zhang Da mercilessly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Da fought back without any worries!
"General, please forgive Zhang Da for saying frankly. It seems that he didn't see that Xu Dafu Xingzhang was not the only one who hid Xu Da!"
Wei Jie was immediately angry, but he could only shake his head helplessly. Who told him that he really didn't see it at that time!
Xu Daofu came, but time did not get better. Wei Jie and others' expectations became stronger and more direct. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like a second to a year. However, He Futian took a break for more than ten hours. It was not until the next evening that the waiter came to Wei Jie and others' room.
"Several uncles, our boss He is invited!"
Zhang Dateng stood up with a sound of the earth. He Futian didn't send anyone to pass the message, but he was afraid he would go directly to find him. How tired is he to rest for more than ten hours? I don't sleep for days and nights, and at most two hours I can get full energy back!
This time, the place where He Futian met them was no longer the back hall of the previous restaurant, but a secret room inside the back hall!
The secret room is not big, and an oil lamp can illuminate the entire secret room!
As soon as he stepped into the secret room, Zhang Da nodded to Wei Jie meaningfully. Wei Jie immediately understood that although this secret room looked very small, it was also arranged by the mechanism. It was not impossible for him to have a secret room in the secret room. Zhang Da is a disciple of the Mo family, and he is an expert in the art of the mechanism, so naturally he can see the cleverness of this at a glance!
He Futian was sitting on a chair, looking exhausted and full of energy!
"Boss He, this really surprised Wei Jie!"
As soon as he came up, Wei Jie said this before He Futian could speak. From Qing Dynasty to negotiations, Wei Jie has always been accustomed to controlling the rhythm in his own hands.
"Uh? What's the surprise of Mr. Wei?"
As expected, He Futian was immediately attracted by Wei Jie's words and asked again!
"What Wei Jie is strange is that since Governor Xu has arrived, why is it that you are still He Futian sitting in this position?" Wei Jie said calmly.
"Does Governor Xu really think that I, Weijie, was idle and I came to Donghai to discuss business with a restaurant owner like you?"
He Futian was stunned and hadn't spoken for a long time. At this moment, a few "pa" clapping sounds came from behind the walls deep in the secret room!
