"Are you really so?" Li Ke asked.

Li Ke may be because this is the memory of his predecessor, or it may be that his predecessor and himself did not take this matter to heart, so he is not as excited as Su Ran.

"yes... Brother, do you remember Ran Ran? Su Ran, who is known as the first brand of the Warm Heart Pavilion, has already become a tearful person, and she asked with a crying voice.

"Hahaha, of course I remember, otherwise who will make me a cow and a horse?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Su Ran stopped crying when Li Ke said this, but his expression became a little melancholy.

"Yet... Eh, Su Ran, what's wrong with you? ”

Li Ke looked at Su Ran's face and asked with concern.

"Isn't it because I'm not happy to see my brother here?"

"Isn't it..."Su Ran was silent for a while, and then said, "Doesn't my brother suggest that Ran Ran do this?" ”

"Ahem... This, this is also what I want to ask, aren't the girls in the Warm Heart Pavilion generally only selling their art and not their bodies? Why did you choose to sell yourself? ”

"This..."Su Ran said with a twist. I'm almost eighteen years old..."

"What does this have to do with you being eighteen!?" Li Ke asked suspiciously.

"Hmm... So you really didn't hear ... Su Ran only felt tears about to fall again.

"Su Ran, I haven't done anything yet, why are you crying?" Li Ke said depressedly, seeing that Su Ran's tears condensed again, he hurriedly said: "What is the matter, if it is forced by the people behind the Warm Heart Pavilion, I will also have a way to take him..."

"No, what I said at the time was 'I'll go to you when I'm eighteen years old', and if I wanted to be free, I discussed with the Pavilion Master and finally used this method." Su Ran hurriedly explained, for fear that Li Ke would really offend the people behind the Warm Heart Pavilion.

And Li Ke thought that she was coerced by the Warm Heart Pavilion, what happened downstairs just now, he also understood that there would be a behemoth behind the Warm Heart Pavilion, but he couldn't be cowardly, he said loudly: "What can he do to me." I am the king of Shu! ”

"Brother... Pavilion Master, she is very good to me. Su Ran said busily, she was really afraid that this brother would surround this place with officers and soldiers, not because she was afraid that the Warm Heart Pavilion would go out of business, but because she was afraid that his brother would hang up like this.

Seeing that Su Ran's clear eyes didn't seem to be lying, Li Ke had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, then forget it." ”

He suddenly changed his voice and asked, "So what should we do today?" ”

"Or..."Su Ran stopped talking.

Under Li Ke's expectant gaze, Su Ran still didn't say the following.

"Hey, hey, hey, or we'll do that!" Li Ke said it cheekily.

"Brother, get out quickly, get out quickly!" Su Ran seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and pushed Li Ke out of the door one after another,

Through a wooden door, Li Ke heard a sentence from inside - "You go to the street to play first, let me think about this matter, when martial law is imposed at night, you come again, there will be no guests in the Warm Heart Pavilion in the past two days, don't go to the wrong door!" ”

"This little girl... It's just a joke, and I can't take it seriously, let's go out for a walk first, I have to digest this matter, it's too shocking. Li Ke thought secretly.

......

Walking out of the Warm Heart Pavilion, Li Ke thought about it, and went to the tavern where he had dinner with Meng Yao before.

The tavern is still the same tavern, but the owner of the tavern and the second child have changed.

Li Ke sat down, called Xiao Er, and after ordering food, he asked Xiao Er: "Do you know where the former owner of this tavern went?" ”

"This guest officer, the little one doesn't know, you can ask my boss about this, he may know." Xiao Er replied.

"So what..."Li Ke put his hand into his arms and took out a tael of silver and said.

Xiao Er looked at the silver, hesitated for a while, and said, "Guest officer, although I really want this silver, I really don't know where they are, why don't I ask the boss?" ”

"It's okay, this silver will be rewarded to you, and if you take it, it will be regarded as a running fee!" Li Ke saw that his face didn't seem to be fake, and threw the silver to Xiao Er.

"Thank you, thank you, this is the little one." Xiao Er nodded and finished speaking, and then trotted upstairs, not caring about the other guest officers who had just arrived.

After a while, Xiao Er came down from the second floor, but what was puzzling was that he didn't have anyone behind him, and soon Xiao Er solved his doubts.

I saw that Xiao Er trotted all the way to Li Ke and said, "Guest officer, my boss asks you to go up and talk in detail." ”

"Good!"

Li Ke got up and followed Xiao Er to the second floor, the second floor of the current tavern has changed from the original mess, the layout is simple, it should be pure wooden tables and chairs, the wood fragrance comes to the nose, cough cough, of course this is not the point, at a square table by the window on the second floor, there is only a masked man with a hat who can't distinguish gender and plays with the wine glass in his hand.

At the signal of the masked man, Xiao Er glanced at Li Ke gratefully and went downstairs.

"This... Uh, are you the new owner of this tavern? Li Ke really couldn't tell whether this product was male or female, so he had to ask stubbornly.

"Well, just a reminder, Ben... Boss: I'm a man. "The masked man's voice was crisp, like a lark.

"This voice..."Li Ke realized that there was something wrong with this tone, but he didn't want to delay too much in this matter at the moment, and said directly: "May I ask the boss, I don't know if you have the direction of the boss?" ”

"Hmm, do you want to know about this?" The masked man asked playfully.

"Of course, the former boss is a good friend of mine, and now I gave you the tavern without saying hello, so I naturally want to find him!" Li Ke said calmly.

"Hahaha... I'm not going to tell you, what can you do? The masked man laughed loudly, stretched out a pair of fingers that were more feminine than a woman, and pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "You sit down and talk, stand next to me, I am not used to it." ”

"Okay." Li Ke answered and sat down opposite the masked man, and then asked, "What do you want, can you tell me?" ”

"Well, you think I'm missing something?" The masked man obviously didn't give Li Ke a chance to answer, but continued: "This tavern had a bloody case not long ago, and the object is still the son of King Jing, so who are you, guest officer?" ”

"As I said earlier, I'm just a friend of the boss." Li Ke felt that this masked man was not simple, and replied indifferently.

"Friends? His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you say so, does that boss know you? The masked man asked playfully again.

"It's... He actually recognized me as the King of Shu? Li Ke thought secretly in his heart. Listening to his tone, it seems that he has a good relationship with the former owner of the tavern, who is it..."

"Could it be that you're the tavern owner, and this tavern hasn't changed owners at all!?"

Li Ke suddenly came to his senses, but the masked man smiled.
