Chapter 54: The Merchant Humble Mountain
That night, Qin Zheng and the others changed the mode of allocating rooms, reducing them from four to two, Chen Lang, Qin Zheng, and Luo Xiaoqiang temporarily squeezed one room, and Yanzi, Lin Xiyu, and Coco temporarily squeezed one room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since they didn't know what was going on here, they decided to stop going alone from now on, and if they woke up in the middle of the night, they would read the three people in a room together.
As for the drug, they hung two palms at the door of one room, so that the other party's door could not be approached, let alone drugged.
That night, several people didn't sleep well, lying on the bed tossing and turning, their ears listening to the movement outside.
It was quiet outside today, but the next day, something happened.
There was one person missing, the little follower called Empty Empty, who was gone.
Qin Zheng and the others once again became the target of public criticism, because Kongkong had a conflict with them face to face yesterday, and it was he who scolded Lin Xiyu for being a demon girl.
"Didn't your little guy slip away first, or did he abscond in fear of crime? What does it have to do with us? Chen Lang scoffed at the other party's accusations, but the proprietress was quite enthusiastic, brought out several baskets of hot buns from the kitchen, and asked them if they wanted to eat them.
The buns smelled very fragrant, but Qin Zheng would open a small stove by themselves, so they politely refused, and the rest of the people, except for the purple clothes who used the excuse of stomach discomfort, almost all ate them.
In the afternoon, Qin Zheng and they had regular meetings and small stoves, but at this time, a guest came to the door.
The visitation of this guest, which they did not expect, turned out to be the merchant.
The first thing he said when he walked in was, "I know you didn't do it." ”
"We didn't do it in the first place. Chen Lang took a sip of the thick soup, and the merchant couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I knew something was wrong with this place, but I didn't expect them to do it to the air. The merchant's face turned a little pale, and he suddenly felt sick, as if he remembered something, and was about to vomit.
"Are you okay?" Qin Zheng frowned, this businessman's appearance made his appetite spoil a little.
"Oh, it's not good, I ate something unclean. The merchant wiped the sweat from his forehead, "My name is Humble Mountain, Humble Mountain, Mountain of Great Mountain." ”
"What are you looking for us?"
"Oh, yes, if my life is in danger, I want you to save my life. ”
"If you are afraid, you can go, here is the window, and when you go out, there is the street. Lin Xiyu pointed to the window, he really didn't understand what these people were staying in this place for.
"It's a bit complicated, it's like this. Then, Humble Hill gave a general introduction to his situation.
He was indeed a merchant, and he used to be in the cloth business, but his warehouse caught fire, and the entire warehouse was burned down, and this disaster from heaven also made him completely bankrupt.
And the land of this inn was lent to Andemai and Su Jin'er in his early years, and this time, he wanted to take back the land, sell it back for some money, and then make a comeback.
In other words, the hope of the back half of his body is counting on the land under their feet, so he knows that there may be danger, and he has to be in this place, because without this money, his life is worse than death.
However, the merchant's agility led him to find Qin Zheng and the others, wanting to seek a powerful ally.
Qin Zheng and the others naturally wouldn't believe him so easily and help him, but asked, "What else do you know?"
Humble Hill thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "I have always slept late, and I have the habit of settling accounts before going to bed, the night of Mrs. Yu's disappearance, it was about ugly time (one to three o'clock in the morning), I heard that the couple seemed to have a quarrel, and then I heard the sound of the door opening, the pace was very light, it should be Mrs. Yu's, and then about half an hour later, Mrs. Yu has not come back, I heard Mr. Yu also ran out of the room, I thought he was looking for her, but it turned out to be ......"
"The result?"
"At that time, I also happened to feel a little hungry and panicked, so I woke up Kongkong and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but I met Mr. Yu there, he seemed to be rummaging for something, but I thought he might be hungry too, so I found two cold buns in the steamer and went upstairs. ”
"And what about last night, Sora wasn't with you?"
"Last night, I got up empty, but as soon as I went to this latrine, I never came back. A faint sadness appeared on the merchant's face, "He's been with me for years, hey." ”
"Aren't you afraid that we did it? And how did you know he was dead? Humble Mountain's face suddenly became ugly, and he almost felt like he was about to vomit again.
He took a rough breath and said, "After so many years in business, I still have this in my eyes, yesterday, some of those people wanted to let you go, and some wanted you to stay, although the purpose is unknown, but it shows that they just want to use you or support you, which just shows that you are the one who is implicated." ”
Humble Shan's face became more and more pale, he stood up, a little shaky, and then he took out a ring from his pocket and put it on Qin Zheng's table.
It wasn't until he left the room that he said weakly, "This is the promise of the empty and my little friend, which I ate in the bun today." ”
Then, he immediately ran out, and then the sound of nausea and vomiting came from outside.
And Qin Zheng's face also turned pale in an instant.
He and Chen Lang are better, Luo Xiaoqiang does not have the IQ to understand the current situation, and the situation of the other three girls' families is not very good, so they rushed out of the door one by one, following in the footsteps of Humble Mountain.
After the three girls vomited and there was nothing left in their stomachs, their meeting resumed.
"You think you can take his word for it. Lin Xiyu's voice was very weak, his eyes kept drifting, and he didn't dare to look at the ring on the table.
"Seven, eight points. Qin Zheng's thoughtful teacup clasped the ring inside, and suddenly several people felt that the air was fresh all of a sudden.
"Where did the missing two or three go?"
"There is a problem with his words. Qin Zheng dipped his fingers in the cup of tea, and then wrote a big Yin character on the table, and said, "Humble Shan said that Mrs. Yu left the room and did not return, and after half an hour, Mr. Yu also ran out, and then Humble Mountain went to the kitchen to look for food, at that time, it should not have been Yin time." ”
"But Yan Zi clearly saw Mrs. Yu coming out of the room when he was in Yin, but he didn't mention the fact that Mrs. Yu went back to the house and went out of the house again, so either he deliberately concealed it, or he really didn't know, if so, then he must not be in the house during this time, so what was he doing? Go to the kitchen to get some food, and take it for nearly half an hour?"
