Chapter 54: The Fear of Being Targeted
The looking uncle glanced at the movement in the tea shop a few more times, and then turned his head and said to Zhu Xishi with great interest.
"I heard that the old Liu family on Yu'an Street suffered a disaster! A family of four died for several days and no one found out, if it weren't for the neighbors next door who noticed that Lao Liu's family had not moved for a few days and reported to the official, I don't know when it would be discovered! The corpses of Lao Liu's family stinked when they were carried out, it was really miserable, hey!! ā
Hearing this, Zhu Xishi's whole body trembled inexplicably, wave after wave of fear rushed up in his heart, and his palms tried to circle several times, but he couldn't calm down.
The murderers are still at large, and they are intensifying their brutality against innocent people! Who's next? It feels like a sheep in a pen, being watched by a vicious wolf.
"Is there still a royal law in the eyes of these people?!"
Zhu Xishi didn't know how to express his state of mind at this time, so he could only shake out such a sentence in horror, looking so pale and powerless.
"Xi Shi, don't you see that the so-called royal law can't suppress that villain at all? Who called the lives of our little people the cheapest? ā
Looking at her uncle and shaking her head, Zhu Xishi knew that this was ugly, but it was exactly in line with her current state of mind. The lives of these ordinary people are really regarded as a mustard!
"Uncle, the government also has its own difficulties, who doesn't want to bring this villain to justice? You're going a little too far. ā
Zhao Xiaoba, who frowned, listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interject, although the current situation is chaotic, but you must not disturb people's hearts, otherwise there will be a big mess.
"Little brother, this is a living human life, one by one! Maybe it's your turn and me next time, how can you tell us little people to settle down? I think the old men in the government are lazy and idle, and I haven't had a clue for so many days, I'm afraid I can't count on them. ā
"But I only believe that evil cannot prevail over good. The so-called 'officials are born according to the people', and without the support of the people, the government would not be able to survive. If even the most basic trust is gone, then it will really become that the people do not shout at the officials and let all kinds of evil run rampant, wouldn't it really be a great chaos in the world? ā
looked at Zhao Xiaoba with righteous words with a little surprise, the righteousness in his body was close to the hearts of the people and should not be underestimated. After a while, the uncle shook his head with a helpless smile.
"I can't say that you are a reader, little brother. I hope so. ā
With that, the uncle left the bun shop and blended into the bustling street.
Now that the murder case has reappeared, whose heart can live in peace? The uncle's worries were also unreasonable. With this current shape, Zhao Xiaoba thought seriously for a while, and then opened his mouth to greet Zhu Xishi, who was not far away.
"Xi Shi, come here, I have something to tell you."
"Huh?"
Zhu Xishi, who was still immersed in stunned and uneasy, glanced at Zhao Xiaoba in confusion, and still walked to his side obediently to listen to what he wanted to say.
"Didn't I just say that someone was sneering at us on the street? Now that this murder has happened again, I guess this place is being targeted by the villain. ā
"What did you say?!" As if he was caught off guard by a heavy dose of "Rulai Divine Palm" on his head, Zhu Xishi suddenly exclaimed.
"Targeted?!"
asked Zhao Xiaoba in disbelief, as if he felt that this thing was too ridiculous! Looking at his gloomy face without turning around, Zhu Xishi knew that this was not a joke!
It happened suddenly, although Zhu Xi was flustered, but it was not to the point of chaos. After a little scrutiny, Zhao Xiaoba's words, why did the murderer target this "Shih Tzu Bun Shop"?! There's always a reason.
"You say the man is eyeing us, what's the reason? On weekdays, if you don't make enemies with others, and if you don't have a grudge with others, why do you stare at us? ā
When looking at Zhu Xi, who was flustered, Zhao Xiaoba didn't know how to explain the doubts. The worried eyes turned back and forth a few times, and the "Chuan" eyebrows on the forehead were locked tighter.
"It's not a joke, I can't guess what it is. But I've always had a good hunch that something is going to happen soon! Remember, if I'm not there, don't be alone, try to get to a crowded place. ā
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, this game of cat and mouse is quite a tactical meaning! The other party gives a danger signal, ostensibly a threat, but in fact they want to fall into panic and chaos themselves.
"What do you mean? Where are you going?! ā
"I've asked someone to investigate this matter, and it must be time for a response! I'm going to go and ask if there's any news, but I'm worried that something might go wrong, and I have to warn you to pay attention. ā
"What's so embarrassing about that. Won't I just go with you?! ā
"No way!"
Zhao Xiaoba suddenly rejected Zhu Xishi's mention of yƬ categorically, but it made her a little embarrassed, what big man I can't see? It's not mysterious.
"It's strange that Zhao Xiaoba, while worrying about my safety, he didn't allow me to go with him, why is this? What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd? ā
Noticing that his answer was too abnormal, Zhao Xiaoba also hurriedly adjusted his gaffe, and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, but in fact, it was just because of his special identity and he didn't want to expose it too much.
"Don't ask so much why, I have my own concerns in it, and it is inconvenient to go with you. In short, don't stay alone in the meantime! If you really don't have a good place to go, you can go to the teahouse in the afternoon to listen to the play, and I'll pick you up when I'm done inquiring. ā
pursed his lips, Zhu Xishi wanted to say something, but looking at Zhao Xiaoba's stern expression at the moment, he still swallowed the words of the argument into his stomach.
Who doesn't have an inconvenience?
"I see. Listen to you, I will listen to the play in the teahouse in the afternoon and wait for your news. ā
"Well, I can't help it, presumably that person wouldn't dare to rashly act in front of everyone. But just in case, if you really meet that person again, you will throw off your loud voice and call for help; Now Taiyuan City is full of officials who are investigating, and you must have come to help as soon as you shouted. ā
clicked, Zhu Xishi wrote down Zhao Xiaoba's words carefully, but after thinking about it for a while, his face suddenly darkened.
"I said, what a loud voice you have for me, your sister with a big voice!!"
Zhao Xiaoba's face suddenly fell, looking extremely helpless.
"I'm talking about business, I'm not looking for you, auntie! What's wrong with a loud voice, maybe it can save your life at a critical time! ā
"Okay, I've written it down, anyway, I'll do what you say, I'll be careful myself. So are you, be careful! ā
"Got it, just be careful with each other."
With a sigh of relief, Zhu Xishi's face was a little relaxed, and he was silently looking forward to Zhao Xiaoba's inquiry. You must know that if this villain does not subdue to the law for a day, the people in Taiyuan Mansion will not have a day of peace!
