XVII. The Beginning of the Matter - Into the City (Middle)
Xiao Er pointed out the window, and then said to San Lang: "Guest officer, look outside, most of those people are martial arts people, you say it's fake, but they think it's true." โ
San Lang nodded thoughtfully, and waited for Xiao Er to continue, who knows, that Xiao Er didn't mean to say any more, just drank tea there by himself.
"Guest, where are you from?" Xiao Er seemed to divert the topic very casually.
San Lang smiled slightly, naturally understood what this Xiao Er meant, he just wanted to get some benefits from himself, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and there is no need for him to commit this taboo, so he took out some silver money from his sleeve, and then pushed it in front of Xiao Er, and said to him with a smile: "I am from Kyoto Prefecture." โ
Xiao Er saw that there were tangible benefits in front of him, so he smiled and said, "Childe, it turns out that you came from Kyoto Prefecture." โ
While speaking, Xiao Er quietly received the silver coins in front of him into his sleeve.
"Childe, don't you know ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
Xiao Er opened his mouth to speak, because he received the benefits of the other party, and now he even changed his name.
"That Qijiazhuang was originally a top-notch force in martial arts, but for some reason, it was destroyed for no reason."
Although San Lang knew that something had happened to Qijiazhuang, what he heard from this little er's mouth made him feel another thing in his heart.
"Little second brother, I know all this, you just need to tell me why there are so many martial arts people in Linqing Mansion today." San Lang was afraid that he couldn't hide his emotions, so he hurriedly interrupted the shopkeeper who was going to continue.
"If you want to know why there are so many martial arts people in this Linqing Mansion, you must know about this Qijiazhuang matter," the shopkeeper is also his duty, and he has to explain the cause and effect to San Lang, but when he saw San Lang's sharp gaze, Xiao Er knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed the conversation and said to San Lang, "Since the son knows this, it will be easy to do, this Linqing Mansion is not only so lively today, since it was two days ago." โ
When San Lang heard this, he was a little suspicious, after all, he only got the news yesterday, he didn't expect that people would start coming here so early.
Xiao Er saw that the boy in front of him didn't speak, so he continued: "I don't know who came from where the news came from, saying that the reason why this Qijiazhuang was destroyed was because of one thing. โ
"Something? What is it? San Lang began to be a little curious, he had been in Qijiazhuang for nearly twenty years, but he had never heard of it, but after all, he was just a subordinate, and it was normal that he didn't know about it.
When the shopkeeper saw that San Lang was interested, he began to hesitate.
San Lang frowned, then took out some silver coins from his sleeve, put them on the table, and then said to the shopkeeper: "You'd better not have any bad ideas, otherwise you will have a life to earn and no life to spend." โ
Although Saburo's fist and foot kung fu is not very good, he still has a majesty in front of people like Dian Xiaoer who have not practiced fists and feet.
When the shopkeeper saw the silver money, his eyes lit up, and he didn't care what San Lang said, so he nodded yes.
"I don't know anything about this thing."
When Saburo heard the shopkeeper's words, he slammed the table, then grabbed the shopkeeper's wrist and twisted it hard.
"How dare you fool me!"
"It hurts, it hurts, and the son spares his life." The wrist was twisted at a strange angle by San Lang, and the shopkeeper's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead.
"Tell me, what is that thing!" Saburo pushed a little harder.
"Childe, it's not that I won't tell you, it's that I really don't know what that thing is, that's how it was spread outside, and they didn't say what this thing was."
When San Lang saw the shopkeeper like this, he didn't change his words, so he knew that he shouldn't be lying, so he let go of the shopkeeper's wrist, and then snorted coldly at him: "You go on, don't play tricks." โ
The shopkeeper rubbed his painful wrist, and said secretly in his heart: "Where do you dare to play tricks, this wrist is almost gone." โ
"What exactly this thing is, no one knows, but they all guess that this is a treasure, do you think, if you can attract other forces to destroy Qijiazhuang, what kind of treasure should it be." The shopkeeper still wanted to tell the function of this treasure that he had heard from the mouths of the guests in the past few days, but when he thought of his wrist, the shopkeeper couldn't help but tremble all over, and he didn't talk nonsense, and continued, "Later, I don't know who passed it out, and the two people from Qijiazhuang came out and came to this Linqing Mansion, and they seemed to be still carrying that thing, so this Linqing Mansion began to be lively." โ
"Then they haven't found anyone in the past few days?" Saburo asked suspiciously, after all, so many people came here for the same purpose, if they couldn't find it, it would be a little unconvincing.
"Where is someone looking for it," Xiao Er leaned into San Lang's ear, "Most of the people who come here are here to take a look at the freshness, just like what you just said, I don't know if it's true, even if it's true, it's a force that even Qijiazhuang dares to destroy, who would dare to provoke it." โ
"Then there are always those who dare to provoke, right?"
"Childe is right, but the dragon and crouching tiger in Linqing Mansion, let's take the biggest force here, the Silver Hook Gambling House, that is the only gambling house that dares to open all night, basically the official master of Linqing Mansion will nod and be polite when he sees the owner of the gambling house, who dares to provoke this."
"Is there really no one who dares to investigate?" San Lang also knows about the silver hook gambling house that the shopkeeper said, and he has been there a few times in the past few years, and the housekeeper there Xu Ye has often seen him, but the owner of the store Xiaoer said has great powers, and he has really never seen it.
"Childe, don't say it, there really is something that doesn't open your eyes," the shopkeeper seemed to say, and he actually gathered a stool and sat down, "Guess what, that person was given an arm by Xu Ye in the gambling house, and then thrown out, and since then, no one has dared to touch that moldy head." โ
"Tsk, that's so majestic."
San Lang had some new understanding of Xu Ye who was always smiling, at least he didn't expect that Xu Ye to be so powerful.
"What kind of strength does that Xu Ye have?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said to San Lang: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't see any doorways, I just think he's very powerful." โ
San Lang was not surprised by this answer, so he asked the shopkeeper, "Then you didn't go to investigate again?" โ
"How can anyone dare to go, the Silver Hook Gambling House on East Street, Tingyuxuan on West Street, where no one has been thrown out of the dead arms and legs, and now those people are waiting, waiting for which real master dares to go in and take a look."
Saburo thought to himself: "These people are really calculating." โ
"And then?"
"Later?" The shopkeeper looked out the window, and then said to San Lang, "Later, it was like this, and those people had no news for a long time, so they could only wander around the street every day." โ
Saburo smiled bitterly, "I see." โ
