Chapter 55: The Price to Pay

The man's rudeness did not anger Zhuang Cong. On the contrary, the smile on his face became a little stronger, "This hero is right, but the small shop is also a small business, why don't you guess, the next guest who comes in is a man or a woman, guess right, we will serve the wine twice, guess wrong, it can be regarded as making everyone laugh, you don't suffer, don't you?" ”

Zhuang Cong seems to have put the initiative in the hands of the man, but the initiative has always been on the side of Tianxiangju.

guessed correctly, it was nothing more than a loss of some wine money, and it also won a good reputation for Tianxiangju.

If you guess wrong, it's even more interesting, it's a slap in the face of a man, even if the slap didn't fall on his body, it fell into his heart. He will understand what to say and what not to say in a place like Tianxiangju.

The scarred man's face really changed, he had never been wronged like this, and now he was difficult to ride a tiger.

In order to save some face, he directly rejected Zhuang Cong's proposal, "Forget it, bring all the good wine and food of yours, Uncle Ben is not short of this wine money." ”

A storm dissolves invisibly.

Wan Zibing always stared in the direction of the door, and threw the question to the phantom, "Xiaoying, you can guess, is the person at the door a man or a woman?" ”

The phantom smiled faintly, "Sister, don't you make fun of me, how can I know?" ”

This kind of thing should be a matter of luck, who can say for sure?

Wan Zibing held her chin lazily, her indifferent eyes revealed a touch of wisdom, and the whole person faintly shone brightly, "If I want to guess, I think it must be a man and a woman." ”

Phantom's eyes lit up, my sister's guess was not unreasonable, the boss's tone just now was very sure, maybe he had made preparations in advance, and he just happened to invite you into the urn.

Wan Zibing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, a man and a woman walked in at the same time.

A touch of surprise crossed the corner of the phantom's eyes, and the admiration in her eyes became deeper, and her sister really had no last resort.

Wan Zibing's gaze looked at the person who came in with a certain inquiry.

This man and a woman, the clothes are unremarkable, and I can't see what the origin is, but if you look closely, the bodies of the two people exude a cold atmosphere, and ordinary clothes can't hide their breath, which is the caution left by the perennial report.

They are people from the government.

Wan Zibing refocused his gaze on the table next to him, and Zhou Cheng's unconscious glance just crashed into Wan Zibing's eyes.

Zhou Cheng felt like a thorn, and he hurriedly lowered his voice, "Childe, we seem to have been discovered." ”

Xue Zimu played with the tea cup in his hand and replied casually, "You look like this, you can't be seen through, you can only rely on miracles." ”

Zhou Cheng's body tightened, and he was faintly aggrieved.

This can't be blamed on him, he finally waited for a helper, so he naturally had to take a look. If you start in Tianxiangju, you will have a few chances of winning.

Wan Zibing retracted his gaze and seemed to have gathered the information in his heart.

The protection of Lord Xue is really leaky. When you go to a place like Tianxiangju, you can also swagger in and invite a helper in.

At the moment when Wan Zibing retracted his gaze, Xue Zimu raised his head slightly, and his casual expression also turned into a long-term doubt.

Such a transparent woman shouldn't be in a place like Butterfly Feather Tower.

At this time, from the direction of the scar man, there was a strange scream.

The scarred man's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he cleaved his throat with both hands, as if there was something in it, tightly restraining his breathing.

His whole face was distorted.

Phantom's heart was also a little nervous, only Wan Zibing's expression was still indifferent, she glanced in the direction of Zhuang Cong, and his eyes exuded a fierce light.

It was still a man and a woman just now, who quickly stepped forward without hesitation, the man supported the body of the man with the scar, and the woman caught the man's pulse.

The woman's voice sounded slowly, "He ate something he shouldn't eat, fortunately, the dose is not large, we have to find a way to make him vomit out and empty his stomach as much as possible"

Zhong Yu nodded, got up quickly, and his fingers dexterously roamed around the acupuncture points of the scar man, and it didn't take long for the scar man to wake up faintly and spit out a large sip of wine.

The woman pulled a silver needle out of her bosom and tested the toxin in the wine. But she didn't say anything, glanced at Zhuang Cong lightly, then put away the silver needle, and said to the scar man, "Be careful when you speak in the future, disaster comes from the mouth, I can save you the first time, but I can't save you the second time." ”

The momentum of the scar man suddenly fell to a low point, because he thought too simply. Before leaving, the master also warned him that he must be low-key and not reckless, but he completely forgot the master's instructions and almost lost his life here.

He was completely like a different person, and thanked him honestly, "Thank you for this girl's rescue, in Xia Shangguan Chun, where I can be useful in the future, I will definitely serve." ”

The woman waved her hand, "That's my duty, no thanks." ”

The woman neatly put away the tools in her hand, and Zhong Yu returned to their original seats, as if nothing had happened just now.

When the phantom saw this scene, he was stunned, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, what is going on with them, at this time, they should always track down the people who poisoned them, why did they become cowardly one by one?" When did the government become so cowardly? ”

Wan Zibing looked at the phantom's slightly immature face, and sighed in her heart, she was still too young, and there were some things that she couldn't think of, so she mentioned slightly, "The person has been saved, even if the murderer is known, what can he do?" ”

"Send it to the government!"

"Didn't you find that the man with the scar has reined in his momentum, he doesn't plan to investigate, if the person concerned doesn't investigate, how will the government act?"

This Tianxiangju is really interesting.

The people who came were also very interesting.

There are people who dress up in disguise, and there are people who have to compete with each other.

The phantom thought back carefully, and her sister was right, the scar man had no intention of pursuing it at all, and the other two officials did not have an attitude of justice.

It's as if everything disappears into nothingness.

Zhuang Cong's smile deepened, and he slowly came to Shangguan Chun's side, "This guest, what other good wine and food do you want to order, I have everything here." ”

Shangguan Chun sneered in his heart.

His poisoning is inseparable from this amiable boss.

If he believes his word again, he may die here.

Shangguan Chun immediately put on a submissive face, as if he was frightened by what happened just now, "Boss Zhuang, the food here is enough for me to eat alone, I won't ask for more, you still greet other guests, I can take care of myself." ”

Zhuang Cong quietly retreated, his eyes full of pride.

That's right, the person who poisoned Shangguan Chun just now was Zhuang Cong.

Poison is in the wine.

But the toxicity is not so great, even if you drink it all, it is only difficult to breathe, which looks more scary, but it is not life-threatening.

This is the price he should pay.

Zhuang Cong hates everyone who works with him, and he will always find the right opportunity to find the same replacement for what he has lost.

Zhou Cheng's mood became more nervous, and his heart was like someone playing a drum on it.

"Childe, this place is too evil, let's get out of here early."

Zhou Cheng's expression was like seeing a ghost, looking left and right, seeing that no one looked like a good person.

Xue Zimu really couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng, you've been with me for so long, you haven't learned anything at all, and your courage is getting smaller and smaller, don't worry, if something really happens, I'll rush to the full level and promise to let you get out." ”

Xue Zimu's words made Zhou Cheng break out in a cold sweat.

"Childe, don't say that, I can't bear such a big favor, in case I let the saint ......"

Zhou Cheng covered his mouth in time, as if only such an action could make the voice disappear.

Xue Zimu pulled his hand down, and said with some disgust, "Don't be so cautious, it seems that someone will eat you, you have to do something that is in line with your identity, you will be shocked all day long, and the good show is still to come!" ”

And also?

Zhou Cheng cried with a sad face, just this once, it was scary enough.

Come back a few more times, let alone go back, the Holy Lord will not fall, and he will be half scared to death.

Zhong Yu and Bai Xiu walked over and respectfully greeted Xue Zimu, "Lord Xue, we are late, and we hope to forgive our sins." ”

Xue Zimu didn't answer in a hurry, but gently put the teacup to his mouth, moistened his throat, and then slowly spoke, "The timing is just right, I've worked hard for you, and you have to find time to help me, you just need to help me keep an eye on these people, see if there is anything particularly strange, other actions, and wait until I have a goal." ”

Xue Zimu generously arranged the task, and there was no intention of avoiding suspicion at all. First, his position was already very inconspicuous, and second, the people next to him were Wan Zibing and them, even if they heard it, it would not affect his plan in the slightest.

But the phantom next to him was full of excitement, "Sister, did you hear that?" They seem to have some big plans? This Lord Xue is really, and the level of secrecy is too poor, so we can hear it casually. ”

Wan Zibing lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, with a faint hint of schadenfreude in her smile, "Xiaoying, Xiaoying, your IQ is always up and down, it's really worrying." ”

The phantom blinked his smart eyes, but he was as serious as a child, as if he didn't understand what Wan Zibing meant.

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Wan Zibing slowly raised his head, his gaze became distant, and he lightly stroked the carved jade bracelet on his wrist, "That can only mean that this news is not important." ”
