Chapter Forty-Six: Poison Death

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "It's really sad, loyalty or not, to be honest, what does it have to do with me, I'm just a little curious about who you are Miss Qin, and who will hand me over!" ”

With a "choking" sound, the sharp blade came out of its sheath and pointed directly at the throat of the shopkeeper Li, Qin Keqing said with a blue face: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not spare you!" ”

Shopkeeper Li looked at Qin Keqing with an angry face in front of him, then stretched out his right hand, gently pushed the sword away, and said slowly: "You also know that killing me is not good for you, why do you want to act like this, why don't we open the skylight and say something bright, so far, I just want you a promise and a place to live, and you don't want to know why I want to intercept and kill Zhu Zhilian?" ”

Qin Keqing withdrew his long sword, looked at the sparse crowd on the street through the window and said: "In this case, I don't want to interfere with you, I can promise, if you can provide me with useful clues, I will let you stay here to be your big treasurer like the above request, so you can see it, if what you say is what I already know, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”

"Yes, that's great! What do you want to know just ask! Shopkeeper Li seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and said calmly.

Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Then I won't go around the bush, I'll ask you a question!" Why did he intercept and kill Zhu Zhilian, was it to help cover up the shoddy evidence of Steward Feng's crimes? ”

Shopkeeper Li shook his head and said, "That's not the case, if that Steward Feng can't be seamless, I won't cooperate with him many times without being discovered!" ”

Qin Keqing took a step forward, his sword-like eyes swirled around the face of Shopkeeper Li, and said in a low voice: "Since it wasn't because of Steward Feng's death that he went to intercept and kill, he had other plans?"

Shopkeeper Li nodded undeniably and said: "Exactly, Steward Feng died unexpectedly, and I will soon get a large amount of medicinal materials here, and no one will take over at that time, and something will happen if I put it in my hand. That's the only way to do it."

Qin Keqing's chest straightened, and in an instant, a few thoughts turned in his heart, and he resolutely said, "Because Zhu Zhilian won't buy medicinal materials from you?" That's why I got rid of him, and the implication is that it will be replaced by another person? ”

Shopkeeper Li looked at Qin Keqing, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and thought: "This woman is talented and intelligent, and she speaks and does things without leakage, which is really admirable!" Knowing this, he said, "You're right, that's right!" ”

Qin Keqing looked pensive, clasped his hands, paced back and forth on the ground, and said for a long time: "If Zhu Zhilian has an accident, Yao Bingkun will naturally become the master of the main hall, just now you said it is because."

Zhu Zhilian didn't buy medicinal materials from you, so he was killed, so according to my guess, this Yao Bingkun is the person who has been arranged by your master of celebrants! But why should he be in cahoots with you? Is it just real money? ”

Shopkeeper Li said coldly: "In life, there must be a plan." Some are famous, some are profitable, and people like Yao Bingkun naturally don't do it for profit. If it's not good, that's the name. If I succeed, he will gain fame and fortune, and if he doesn't, he will have no loss to him, nothing more than business as usual! You say he'll say yes."

Qin Keqing smiled, and then said, "The hustle and bustle is all for profit!" , then Yao Bingkun, do you know why you are doing all this? ”

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "The entire Qingzhou City knows that I spend a lot of time drinking and gambling, so he naturally thinks so." ”

Qin Keqing stretched out his thumb and said, "Gao, everything is logical!" ”

I saw the shopkeeper Li trembling and walking a few steps towards the door, and said with a miserable smile: "If you miss one move, you will lose the whole game." In the end, it was at the hands of you, Miss Qin. "After that, he foamed at the mouth and fell straight to the ground!

Looking at the fallen shopkeeper Li, Qin Keqing looked frightened, and rushed over with a sword in his hand! Two steps came to the front, and the shopkeeper Li who fell to the ground only twitched a few times and then didn't move! In a hurry, he could only stretch out his hand to probe his nose, and after a few breaths, Qin Keqing slowly stood up! Looking back at the plate of dim sum that Shopkeeper Li picked up just now, he secretly said in his heart: "What a clever method of using poison!" ”

It happened that a pedestrian outside the house passed by the door, and when he saw the person lying on the ground, he shouted: "It's a big deal, someone has been killed!" This voice made the empty street suddenly more crowded, and after a while, the door of the inn was surrounded by water! There was a middle-aged man in the crowd who looked like a land guard, and when he found that the person who fell to the ground was the shopkeeper Li, he hurriedly ran to the mansion.

The dazzling sunlight shone on his face through the screen window, Ling Haoran slowly opened his eyes, looked at the empty bed on the opposite side of the room, and muttered: "My body is indeed a little lighter than last night, it seems that Ziqi did not deceive me!" It's just that this head is going to crack. With that, he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his aching head.

After a while, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from a distance outside the door, as if he was walking over, seeing that the hour was not early, Ling Haoran stretched his muscles, sat up slowly, and after a few breaths, he heard the sound of "popping" on the door.

"Enter," Ling Haoran said.

I only heard a voice from outside the door: "Brother Ling, if your body and bones are okay, Hall Master Zhu will let you wait for a while." Said there was something to arrange. ”

Listening to the voice, he knew that this person was Yan Shisan, Ling Haoran hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Brother Yan, please reply to Hall Master Zhu, just say that I am fine, wait for me to freshen up and go over!" ”

"Okay, okay Lak, then I'll go back to Hall Master Zhu!" After saying that, I heard footsteps outside the door again, but the footsteps became smaller and smaller at this time, and after a while, there was no sound.

Ling Haoran turned over and got out of bed, and was about to walk to the door to get toiletries when he saw a bowl of white porridge and a plate of pickles on the table. I didn't eat last night because I was uncomfortable, and I was already hungry at this time, I thought that it was all this hour, and the kitchen had long been out of food, and I was secretly lost, so I saw this bowl of white porridge in front of me, and suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the careful eye will take care of people." With that, he took out his stool, sat down, and began to eat.

Under the four-character signboard of "Poverty Alleviation", Zhu Zhi sat upright, looked at the three people on the side seat in front of him, and said with a smile: "Next year, the three of you will represent me in Qingzhou to participate in the competition, I wish you a successful start in advance!" ”

Pei Yuanting, who was sitting on the right hand side, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Why did the hall master suddenly change his sex, he spoke so politely, but he used to scold directly!"

Zhu Zhilian glanced at Pei Yuanting and said: "It's not that I'm transgender today, I punished you more than I appreciated you in the past, it was nothing more than to let you learn more things and make great achievements in the future, as for why I'm so happy today, it's all because I heard a piece of news." ”

When Wen Ziqi heard Zhu Zhilian say this, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be related to the fright I received yesterday?" But how could he be so happy when he was frightened, there was no trace of fright on his face, could it be that the cook last night was wrong? He was thinking alone here, but he heard Ling Haoran beside him speak: "Hall Master, what is the good news that makes you so happy?" ”

Zhu Zhilian glanced at the three people in front of him, and said: "I went to see Mo Lao this morning, although the old man didn't say anything good, but I can see from his expression that he is very satisfied with a few of you, you must know that there are really only a handful of people who can be favored by him, since you can be liked by him, then you have to work harder in the future, do you know?" There must be no slackness! ”

The three of them nodded one after another, then looked at each other, and replied: "Please rest assured, the hall master, I will study hard and strive to win the crown in one fell swoop at the time of the big competition, and take the medicine venerable into the bag!" ”

Zhu Zhilian took a sip of tea, smiled and said: "The momentum is good, but you have forgotten a very important thing, that is, there is only one top of the list that can be called Yaozun, how can the three of you divide it?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "This is easy to do, I will be the first on the list, and the two of them will be second!" Pei Yuanting was even more energetic, they all stood up and walked in front of Wen Ling and the others, and gestured there to let the two of them kneel down and see the new "Medicine Venerable"!

Looking at the three people who were fighting with each other, Zhu Zhilian looked doting, and said slowly: "As for who is seated in the position of Yaozun, this question will be arranged in the future, but before arranging, I think you should understand another branch of medicine." Although there is a high probability that he will not appear at the scene of the competition, but in case there is a related problem mentioned during the competition, you don't know anything, and you haven't even heard of it, do you say that this medicine venerable will make people laugh out of their big teeth. ”

When everyone heard Zhu Zhilian say this, they put away their frolicking hearts, and even Pei Yuanting, who was the most aggressive, turned back to his seat and waited quietly.
