Chapter 194: Door-to-door challenge to Xue Shizi (second update)
"Why didn't you say it earlier." Lu Fangqun on the side complained angrily.
Such an important clue is only now being said.
Lin Chuan was very aggrieved; "The master also knows about this, why blame me?"
The letters sent back to the capital by Forget Worry Valley were usually destroyed by Xue Wenyu after reading them alone. That time, he was bored drinking, and took the letter and asked Lin Chuannian next to him to listen to him.
Lu Fangqun extinguished the fire as soon as he heard it, how dare he accuse the master.
"Arrange for someone to inquire, and as soon as that person comes out of the valley, he will report immediately." Xue Wenyu didn't care about being annoyed by his carelessness, and hurriedly ordered.
After a few hours, the man who had gone had returned, and before he could speak, he knew that he had returned in vain.
"What? I haven't heard about it, or can't get in the valley after the valley is closed? Lin Chuan asked anxiously.
"Master, my subordinates didn't enter the valley, and someone inside came out, so I tried to ask. He said that the one who sold firewood in the valley had not shown up recently, and he didn't know where he had gone, and he also said it deliberately, saying that it was after the day of the accident in the two families in the valley, and he disappeared.
He didn't know anything else. "Those who inquire, carefully report.
"Such a coincidence? Master, it shouldn't be the guy who sold firewood who kidnapped people, right? The flower list is rewarded, and whoever stipulates that those who enter the Valley of Forgotten Worries will not be greedy. It must be so, the people of the valley are familiar with the situation in the valley.
Let's go, let's go to the valley lord and ask him, if something happens to people in his valley, he doesn't care, so he doesn't care what people in his valley do? One of his subordinates said angrily.
Xue Wenyu didn't respond to him, but stared at the subordinate who inquired about the news, staring at the subordinate in his heart. "You heard the man say that there were two families in the valley that day, but have you asked him who the other family is?"
When his subordinates asked, he only said that the family was a woman of seventeen or eighteen, and a man in his fifties, but he refused to say what his surname was, and his subordinates refused to accept the money he gave him.
My subordinates sneaked into the valley to inquire, but the people who asked me ignored me as if they were dumb. The subordinate hurriedly told.
"Well done, go rest." Despite this, Xue Wenyu was still very satisfied with the performance of this subordinate.
"Master?" Lin Chuan looked at his master's expression and asked puzzled.
"The people in the valley are dumb and refuse to say a word, but the one who came out of the valley said so much, what do you think will happen?" Xue Wenyu asked with a smile.
"Oh, my subordinates understand, they must have been instructed by the valley lord to leak the news." Someone replied quickly.
Xue Wenyu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
"Then he is not authentic, since he wants to tell us something, why is he so vague, saying half and leaving half?" Lin Chuan was puzzled.
"Could it be that there is a scruple? For example, the identity of the family that happened together? You must know that the identity of the people in the valley cannot be revealed to the outside world. "Some people analyze according to their own understanding.
The master and servant analyzed and analyzed, and the more they analyzed, the more irritable they became.
This time I know that the firewood seller disappeared on the same day, but there are two possibilities, it is possible that he is an inner ghost, and he should be in harmony with the adults outside!
There is also a kind of thing that he has discovered, and it is inconvenient to be targeted by others.
Neither of these possibilities is optimistic!
I also know that there was another family on the same day, a woman of seventeen or eighteen, and an old man in his fifties!
There are also two possibilities, one is that the two people are innocently implicated.
The other is that those two people are internal ghosts who should be in harmony with outsiders!
Just when Xue Wenyu wanted his subordinates to go out and calm down by himself, a subordinate outside the door hurriedly came in, and he forgot to knock on the door.
His gaffe made everyone in the room feel uplifted, thinking that there was some important news.
"Lord, master, there is a person from outside the inn, and he is very rude to ask you by name, and he will not say anything to ask him, and he will not say anything to you."
When Xue Wenyu heard this, he didn't get angry, no one would come to him for no reason, what if there was news about his sister and Brother Hui?
Therefore, he didn't dare to delay, nor did he dare to take a shelf, so he got up and walked out.
The location of the inn is a bit off, and the entrance of the inn is not the main street, but a grain drying field.
When I went out, I saw a young man in his twenties, standing in the middle of the threshing floor with a sword in his arms, with a straight face, and he was very handsome.
"Dare to ask this benevolent brother, what is going on?" For the sake of his sister and Brother Hui, Xue Wenyu was domineering and restrained, and asked politely.
Even if the other party looks at him unpleasantly, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he's here to find fault.
"Are you Xue Shizi from the capital, Xue Wenyu?" The man asked politely.
"It is under you, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Xue Wenyu suppressed the anger in his heart, and still asked in a calm tone.
"You don't need to know who the master is, you just need to know which one you are. I heard that your kung fu is good, how about you come to learn from the master? The man was very arrogant and provocative.
If this was in the past, Xue Wenyu would have been on fire early, but now the situation is special, not to mention that he doesn't know what is going on with this person.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the heart to discuss with you, if you insist on doing so, can you let my subordinates play with you?" Xue Wenyu refused.
"Hehe, it turns out that the famous Xue Shizi is a coward, no wonder he can't even protect his own son." The man scoffed.
Xue Wenyu became angry when he heard it, and now for him, this is equivalent to poking him in the heart, how can he endure it anymore?
"Master, let your subordinates teach this guy a lesson." Lin Chuan drew his knife and was about to step forward.
Lin Chuan had been unable to move or speak for three days since he was hit in the secret passage of the Valley of Forgotten Worries last time, but when he recovered, he had no place to spread a fire in his heart. cleaned up the man in black with his master, and this fire was not sprinkled clean.
"Stand down." Xue Wenyu scolded, pulled out the sword at his waist and jumped over.
The man drew his sword as well, and the two fought as soon as they fought.
Xue Wenyu was annoyed no matter how annoyed, in order to get some news about this person, so he didn't kill him.
And although the other party was aggressive, he didn't do his best.
The martial arts of the two are comparable, you come and go, you attack and defend, you retreat and I advance, I don't know how many rounds have been fought.
The people around were dazzled, and the number of onlookers gradually increased.
The man found that there were more and more onlookers, and a ruthless move forced Xue Wenyu to take a step back, and he also jumped away and put his sword into the sheath; "That's just it, the master still has important matters, so I won't accompany him."
After saying that, turn around and leave.
Xue Wenyu, who looked confused, really wanted to chase after him, and directly killed this kid to relieve his anger.
Several of his subordinates were also so angry that they were about to smoke above their heads.
It's really depressing, the girl and the little boy have no news, and this is another inexplicable guy.
persuaded the master to go back to the inn, and when he found the girl and the little boy, he would settle accounts with the madman with a sick brain.
However, they did not expect that this was just the beginning.
At noon the next day, the subordinate who had just returned from outside, and who was in charge of guarding outside the inn, came in with a strange look to report that someone outside had asked to see the master by name......
