Chapter Twenty-Eight: Counting is Counting
The carriage traveled to the intersection of the avenue, turned into a stone path, looked forward and saw the Lukang town located at the foot of the mountain, the town is not big, but there are quite a lot of people, the town here is built by the mountain, only because the mountain is rich in raw stone iron ore, there are some precious herbs, so whether it is ordinary business or people in the rivers and lakes are also cultivators, all come here, so this town is also quite lively.

Lei Biao didn't want to be delayed on the way, but the road to the Divine Domain Sect was far away, not only needed supplies, but also needed to replace the horses, the original departure in Chicheng was in a hurry, the horses were all short distances, and this Lukang town is not only rich in materials, but also a precious place for businessmen, and the red deer is a unique in the world, so it is named after Lukang.
The three of them walked to the street, only to see a lot of bustling shops on the street, all kinds of buying and selling herbs, raw minerals, and food, Zhao San slept until noon, and the sleepiness of the night was long gone, and on the other hand, although Lei Biao was full of energy, but there were two more black bags under his eyes, Xing Nan looked at the dazzling shops outside through the car window, his eyes did not blink, it was really eye-opening and beautiful.
Just as Xing Nan's stomach rumbled, the carriage had already stopped at the door of an inn, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran out of the store, took the horse and nodded and said: "Guest officer, you are from out of town, our 'inn' is the best inn in the town. ”
This shopkeeper didn't say much, this 'There is an inn' is indeed the most luxurious inn in the town, and the horseman is also a runner of the rivers and lakes, and he also knows a lot about the situation in various places, and he is even more generous to see that Lei Biao is generous, he must be a rich master, and he is naturally looking for the best inn, so that he can also get a little light.
Lei Biao and others got off the horse, looked up, and saw that the inn was divided into two floors, the area was huge, and on the left and right two flying beams, there were two zhang high red canvas, and the canvas on the right side was embroidered with four big characters with yellow silk thread 'all in the world', and the flag on the left side was embroidered with 'only one'. And on the plaque at the top of the main entrance, there are four big red characters written on it, with silver hooks and iron strokes, strong and powerful.
It's a good 'inn', it's really good, and then look at the shop boy who nodded and had, it was even more brightly dressed and spotless, if it weren't for that look, but looking at the pretending to be the son of which house, I couldn't see that it was a shop boy at all, which shows the luxury of this inn, not to mention in this Lukang town, even in the big city of the imperial city.
When Lei Biao saw the inn, he nodded with satisfaction, and then the groom led the car to the back hall alone to change horses, and Lei Biao and the others got out of the car and strode into the inn.
The three of them came to the inn hall, it was spacious and luxurious, it was noon at this time, it was the time for pedestrians and businessmen to dine, the restaurant was bustling, so lively, the three came to a private room and sat down, Zhao San ordered some special dishes of the store, the shopkeeper just wanted to prepare, was shouted by Lei Biao, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "This guest officer, what else do you command?" ”
Lei Biao said: "You first help me prepare a basin of boiling water, remember to be just boiled, it is hot." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, if you want to wash your hands, there is a special sink as long as you go out and turn left, but, guest officer, how can you use hot to wash your hands, you see, now the summer is hot, or cool water to wash comfortably." Lei Biao saw that Xiao Er was chattering, and he didn't want to entangle with it, so he faked his anger and said: "I told you to prepare, just go, where is so much nonsense." Seeing that Lei Biao was displeased, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say more, Nuo Nuo said: "Yes, yes, I have to go and prepare immediately" took the menu and exited the room, looking back at Lei Biao while walking, and whispered to himself: "What a weirdo." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Zhao San closed the door and said in a low voice: "Boss Lei, why didn't you interrogate the gang of robbers last night, why did you let them go?" Lei Biao smiled and said, "Because I already know what I want to know, I don't have to embarrass them, and besides, they won't have any good fruit to eat when they go back." Zhao San's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "You said you already know who sent them?" ”
When Lei Biao saw Zhao San's appearance, he obviously didn't want Xing Nan to hear it, so he smiled and said: "Third son, Xing Nan is his own person, so you don't have to hide it from him." Those robbers are just gangsters who can eat with fists and feet, and they specialize in robbing homes and houses, which is not surprising, but this time they said at first that they were robbing money, and then they said that they were robbing people, don't you say it's strange, I think this gang of robbers is not simple, and they said that they met a man in black and asked them to do this, judging from the man's expression, this is true, the key is who the man in black is, don't you know? ”
Zhao San thought about it and suddenly said, "It's the Black Demon Sect!" Lei Biao shook his head and said, "It's not sure if it's the Black Demon Sect yet, but more importantly, why did that man in black also look for Xing Nan, could it be that the Black Demon Sect is also vigorously recruiting disciples, and what's even more terrifying is how he would know that we must go through that road." After listening to Lei Biao's analysis, Zhao San said dumbly: "That's really the case." Lei Biao continued: "But after thinking about it all morning, I found that there are many doubts, first of all, we hired a carriage overnight and set off, during which no one knew, and the path we took was only known to the four of us, why is this? Second, as soon as the robber leader came up, he said that he wanted to rob money, but the second leader later said that he was not here to rob money, but to rob people, why is this? Third, when the groom heard that it was the Black Wind Village, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, but you look at his current situation, he seems to know everything about the rivers and lakes, and even just now I carefully observed, the groom and this shop seem to be very familiar, you think, how can a person who is so familiar with the rules of the rivers and lakes meet a group of ordinary robbers crying and shouting to escape, and the strength of the Black Wind Village is simply very weak, there is no fame at all, why is that groom unusual, like a great enemy, this kind of doubt, Let me draw a conclusion. ”
Before Zhao San could finish speaking, he shouted, "Oh my God, there's something wrong with that groom!" Lei Biao nodded and said, "Third son, do you remember where you found that groom?" Zhao San thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, Boss Lei, as soon as you say that, I remembered, that night I went out to find a carriage, but all the houses were closed, just when I was disheartened and walked back, a carriage was parked at the door of our inn, I felt strange at that time, this horseman was motionless at the door, staring at me, as if he was waiting for me, but because I was in a hurry to ask for the carriage at the time, I didn't think much about it, now I think about it, it is true." ”
After Zhao San finished speaking, he looked at the door vigilantly, and found that there was no movement in the door, so he whispered into Lei Biao's ear and said: "Since you have already seen that there is a problem with this groom, why did you still ask him to bring us to this inn, I think this inn also seems to have a big problem." ”
Lei Biao laughed and said, "Third son, I just want him to bring us here." ”
