Chapter 116: Old Grievances
Hearing Bai Zhantang's words, the middle-aged man with a kind face at the door of the inn said in a warm voice: "I'm really sorry to disturb you, I'm here to find someone." ”
Bai Zhantang was stunned, and he asked out loud with some confusion: "Guest officer, who are you looking for?!" ”
The middle-aged man first raised his eyes and looked around at everyone sitting at the table in the lobby of the inn, and finally his gaze lingered on the only two women in the room for an extra moment.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man looked at Bai Zhantang and replied loudly, "Excuse me, is Miss Guo Furong here?!" ”
After the middle-aged man's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire inn was immersed in an instant.
Zhou Chen and Badao didn't care, and they were still moving their chopsticks by themselves.
However, Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang and the other people in the inn, the expressions on their faces immediately stiffened.
Especially Guo Furong, who was named, she was so frightened that even the chopsticks in her hand fell directly to the ground.
Now that it's so late, there are strangers who want to find Guo Furong by name.
Except for the underworld killer who took Guo Furong's 30,000 taels of silver dark flowers, Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang and others really came up with no one else.
There are a total of five underworld killers who have taken the dark flower, among which the beauty of the Flying Knife Gate is not discounted, and the two elders of the Five Poisons Sect, the gold and silver, have all been folded in this Tongfu Inn, and they have ended up with two deaths and two serious injuries.
The rest is Shangguan Yundun, who has the most powerful martial arts cultivation among the five killers and has first-class realm strength.
After carefully looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Bai Zhantang suddenly found that he was really very consistent with Shangguan Yundun's appearance characteristics.
Not daring to have the slightest slack and hesitation, Bai Zhantang lightly pushed him to the edge of the long table in the lobby.
Seeing such a scene, the middle-aged man's eyes couldn't help but flash a flash of surprise, and he said in admiration: "What a handsome light skill, I think this master should also have a reputation in the Jianghu martial arts!" ”
Bai Zhantang didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man's question at all, but he asked cautiously and vigilantly: "Are you looking for Xiao Guo and Gui to do?!" ”
"That's right, I'm here to ask for Miss Guo's life."
The middle-aged man walked towards the inn lobby as he continued to say in his warm voice, "Please help me report it!" ”
Although the middle-aged man always had a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, the meaning contained in his words made Tong Xiangyu, Bai Zhantang and the others suddenly tighten their hearts.
It's just that when the corner of everyone's eyes caught a glimpse of Zhou Chen and Badao, who were calm and calm beside them, their hearts were endlessly supportive.
At this time, the middle-aged man on the opposite side had already walked in front of Bai Zhantang, he reached out and took out a famous post, handed it over and said, "This is my famous post, please give me a lot of advice!" ”
Looking at the famous post in front of him, Bai Zhantang not only did not reach out to take it, but avoided it like a snake and scorpion leaned back slightly.
His eyes were slightly condensed, and he only heard Bai Zhantang ask in a deep voice: "You are Shangguan Yundun!" ”
"It's down there!"
Shangguan Yun didn't feel any embarrassment at the moment, he chuckled and put the name card back into his arms, and then saw him arch his hand towards Bai Zhantang, and asked again: "Haven't asked this master yet?!" ”
"He's a thief!"
Before Bai Zhantang could react, Zhou Chen, who had always been indifferent on the other side, finally raised his head and replied in place of Bai Zhantang.
"It turned out to be a thief of the holy white jade soup in front of him, no wonder there is such a handsome light body kung fu, look up for a long time!"
After learning Bai Zhantang's identity, Shangguan Yundun continued to smile and arch his hand.
Immediately after, he turned his head and fell his gaze on Zhou Chen and Badao, still asking politely: "I don't know who these two masters are?!" ”
Zhou Chen raised his head slowly when he heard this, he chuckled and said, "It's just a nameless person, and I haven't heard of Mr. Shangguan before." ”
The moment he saw Zhou Chen's face, the pupils in Shangguan Yundun's eyes condensed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth finally converged.
"You are not a nameless person, if you, the magistrate of Youyu County, are all nameless people, how should you deal with yourself in these rivers and lakes?!"
Clenching his fists and arching his hand, Shangguan Yundun said in a deep voice with a cautious face.
"I didn't expect Mr. Shangguan to know about this official, is it because of the relationship between the Jin Shang Fan family and your Heavenly Remnant Sect?"
Looking at Shangguan Yundun with interest, Zhou Chen chuckled and said.
A few years ago, when Zhou Chen first arrived in Youyu County, in order to be able to control the situation in Youyu County as soon as possible, he deliberately ruthlessly suppressed the two major families of Jin Shang and Fan Tian, who were in Youyu County at that time.
Among them, the head of the Fan family has a lot to do with the Heavenly Remnant faction suppressed by the Jianghu Martial Arts underworld.
Zhou Chen originally thought that after he killed the head of the Fan family, there would be masters in the Heavenly Remnant Sect to retaliate.
As a result, several years have passed, but Zhou Chen has never had any entanglement with the Heavenly Remnant Sect.
For a long time, Zhou Chen thought that it was the Heavenly Remnant Sect, and he didn't know the reason why the head of the Fan family was exterminated, so no killer came to him for revenge.
But judging from the current situation of Shangguan Yundun, things don't seem to be what Zhou Chen imagined.
Since Shangguan Yundun was able to know Zhou Chen's face, it undoubtedly meant that the Heavenly Remnant Sect had paid attention to Zhou Chen himself, but for some reason he didn't make a move against Zhou Chen.
"The Heavenly Remnant Sect in Xia is located in the territory of Datong Mansion, Lord Zhou, as the most powerful local magistrate under the rule of Datong Mansion, how can I not have heard of your reputation in Xiaxia?!"
In the face of Zhou Chen's inquiry, Shangguan Yundun did not answer directly, but just looked left and right and complimented Zhou Chen.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Shangguan Yundun bow to Zhou Chen, and he asked out loud: "I don't know why Lord Zhou is in this inn, is he temporarily staying down?!" ”
Since the Heavenly Remnant Sect had not assassinated Zhou Chen before, Shangguan Yundun was naturally unwilling to offend Zhou Chen without the necessary circumstances.
After all, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and Shangguan Yundun did not want to be remembered by a promising young official.
If Zhou Chen was passing by here, Shangguan Yundun would have the heart to retreat temporarily, waiting for Zhou Chen, the official of the imperial court, to leave before making a move against Guo Furong.
