Chapter 181: Touching the Central Plains
Han Xiaoyue interrogated the widow of the old shopkeeper before, but did not ask any substantive clues, and only heard from her mouth that the "Jianhua Benji" was indeed taken away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Xiaoyue continued to ask, "What did that gang of gangsters say?" The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, "They claim to be the owner of that book, and they left it in the room when they stayed in the hotel. And when the old man asked which room they stayed in and when, they couldn't answer. We have information about every customer in our ledger, and if we lie, we can find out immediately. ”
"So, when they saw that they couldn't take it, they started to rob it?"
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "When they saw that the old man refused to give it, they put their swords on the old man's neck." Although my old man is a money-lover, he is still very responsible for the things of his guests. The shopkeeper added: "I can testify to this. My brother never touched anything from his guests, including the things he left behind, and he kept them intact. ”
The middle-aged woman nodded and continued: "So, the gang stabbed the old man to death, and then ......" As she spoke, the woman couldn't help crying, "Then, they snatched the book from the old man's hand and swaggered away......" Han Xiaoyue listened, her anger rose from her heart, she slammed the table hard, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "How can this be reasonable! Is it possible, there is no royal law yet?"
As she was talking, Long Yan suddenly rushed out of the room, limped down from the upstairs, and said as she walked: "Xiaoyue, don't be rough!" Han Xiaoyue saw the pretense and hurriedly stepped forward to support Long Yan, Long Yan continued, "Let's discuss it carefully, don't rob it!" Han Xiaoyue smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that Yan'er is afraid that I will snatch the book?" Only then did Long Yan understand that she had misunderstood him.
"Hey, it turns out that I misunderstood!" Long Yan said, sighing, "In this way, the old shopkeeper is really very good in character!" The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "How about good conduct? It's not the same as dying tragically under the sword......"
The shopkeeper said: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, this Han Gongzi promised to avenge us, you should be happy!" said, looked at Han and Long, "Presumably, you must be husband and wife!" Han Xiaoyue nodded yes. The shopkeeper clapped his hands and smiled: "Sure enough, it is a pair of fairy couples, the son and the girl are born with a good heart, you good people have good rewards!"
Han Xiaoyue smiled and said, "However, you still haven't said the specific characteristics of those people, so how can I know who to seek revenge against?" The middle-aged woman looked embarrassed, shook her head and said, "But...... That's all I know. ”
Han Xiaoyue sighed and looked at Long Yan. Long Yan also looked at him with a helpless expression. The middle-aged woman thought for a while, and suddenly slapped herself in the face, scolding: "Look at my broken memory, I can't remember anything!" Everyone hurriedly stopped, and Han Xiaoyue explained: "Eldest sister, why do you bother? You think about it slowly, even if it's just a few fragments!"
The middle-aged woman frowned and sighed for a while. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I seem to have some impressions! When my brother's body was buried that day, I smelled a special aroma in his room. I'm sure my brother will never apply grease and powder!" The middle-aged woman listened, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Yes, yes, yes! I remember! There is a special fragrance, not on me, but on that group of people!"
"Aroma?" Han Xiaoyue secretly screamed in her heart and looked at Long Yan. The two of them seemed to have an answer in their hearts, and said in unison: "Lethe Pavilion?"
Han Xiaoyue then asked, "Are those people's accents not Central Plains accents?" The shopkeeper and the middle-aged woman nodded at the same time. Han Xiaoyue breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally came to her senses, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "Sure enough, it's Lethe Pavilion." Although they have never met, they have penetrated into the hinterland of the Central Plains three years ago. No wonder they can accurately know the whereabouts of Yu Zhengmei and the others, it turns out that they have already been involved in the Central Plains!" Thinking of this, he looked at the shopkeeper and the middle-aged woman.
"I'll leave that to me. It turned out to be a person from the Lechuan Pavilion, and now he finally has an eyebrow!" After hearing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and bowed to Han and Long for a while: "You are really a living bodhisattva sent by heaven to avenge our grievances!
Long Yan hurriedly picked up the middle-aged woman. They will never tell the shopkeeper and the middle-aged woman that the most important thing is to find the "Jianhua Benji" this time, and to avenge the old shopkeeper is just by the way. The shopkeeper also cried with joy: "Two knights, you are willing to avenge your brother, how can I collect the money for the two more?
Everyone was in the midst of greetings, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the inn door. Then a passer-by hurriedly ran by, and as he ran, he said, "Oh no! That old lady has called someone to beat her again! Now she must die!"
Han and Long were stunned when they heard this, and Long Yan said, "Old lady?" Han Xiaoyue smiled and said, "This old lady is not the old lady." Yan'er, let's leave it alone. ”
Long Yan shook her head and said, "No matter what, didn't you listen? It was an old lady who called someone to beat her, and if she didn't go over, she would die!" With that, Long Yan walked towards the door, wanting to go over and take a look. Han Xiaoyue was worried that she would be in danger, so she followed. The shopkeeper and the middle-aged woman looked at the backs of the two of them, clasped their hands together and said, "God bless! Send these two living bodhisattvas to avenge the old man!"
Long Yan limped away with the crowd, Han Xiaoyue didn't leave an inch, and said as she walked: "Yan'er, now it's the most important thing to find the Lechuan Pavilion and take the volume of "Jianhua Benji", let's not interfere in this kind of thing!" Long Yan said as she walked: "Then how can you do it?" Xiaoyue, you weren't such an indifferent person before, why have you changed now, and you've become more like me before......
Han Xiaoyue said with a smile: "This is not a way for us to protect ourselves, we know the priority of things." An old lady is not worth the trouble we have to go through so much!" Long Yan suddenly stopped, looked back at him and said, "Are you serious when you say this? Why do I feel that I don't know you anymore?" As he spoke, he looked Han Xiaoyue up and down and said, "I have no mother since I was a child, if this old lady was my mother, would you still talk like this?"
"Yan'er, this is not the same thing at all!" As soon as Han Xiaoyue finished speaking, Long Yan walked over without looking back. Han Xiaoyue understood that no matter what she said, she would definitely not listen.
