Chapter 297: The Chaser Is Coming

At this time, the people around him stood in two groups, one group agreed with the hawker's words, and the other group chose to believe the old man and accused the other party of judging people by their appearance.

Tears appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, and he said hoarsely, "I really wouldn't do such a thing, I'm not that kind of person." ”

However, his justification was very weak under the aggressive face of the peddler.

"But my money is just less, who else is passing by here?" The shopkeeper looked at him with disdain, and did not have a good face for such a poorly dressed person.

The people around him also persuaded the old man to take out the money, and the old man hurriedly cast helpless eyes around in the crowd for help.

Bai Rong frowned, she took two steps forward and persuaded softly, "Old man, don't worry. After speaking, he raised his voice and said, "If you want to know if the old man has stolen money, I can tell you the answer." ”

When the vendor on the other end saw that it was a little girl, he snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. The people around were stunned, and they all picked up their hearts to watch the play, and coaxed her to hurry.

Bai Rong was not annoyed: "Little brother, can you give me a basin of water?" Her tone was gentle, not impatient at all, and it was impossible to find out the thorns.

The man rolled his eyes, turned around and fetched a basin of water and placed it in front of everyone.

The innermost circle of people around them crossed their hands and looked curiously, and one by one they couldn't understand what she was going to do, and whispered.

"Old man, the shopkeeper said how much money did you take from him? Can you give me the money bag? Bai Rong said softly.

The old man looked at her and shook his head: "He only said that I took his money, not how much." As he spoke, he carefully took out a cloth bag from his waist. The sack was made of coarse cloth with patches on it.

Bai Rong took it without hesitation, opened the cloth bag, poured the only few copper plates in the bag into his hands, and looked up: "Shopkeeper, how much money did you say he took from you, which coins are they?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at it and pointed to three casually, and Bai Rong poured all of them into the water without hesitation.

"This?" Everyone couldn't understand what she was doing, and looked at her suspiciously, then at the basin of water that didn't move, and their eyes widened.

"This little brother is a bread seller, and we all know that the hands of the cake seller have oil for many years, even if it is a coin, everything that is touched by them will have a layer of oil."

She observed the expressions of everyone around her and said softly, "So

Let's see, is there any floating oil on this basin? She stepped aside and asked the big man closest to her to come forward to check, and the man looked at it for a long time, but there was no oil splash.

When Bai Rong saw this, he took a few more pieces of the vendor's money and put them in the water, and soon there were oil flowers floating.

The people around saw it and shouted magically.

Seeing this, the hawker looked a little panicked and wanted to run away with his belongings, but was blocked by a sharp-eyed person and asked him to apologize to the old man.

The old man kept thanking Bai Rong and almost knelt down and kowtowed.

But he was dragged by Bai Rong, and only said that he was in a hurry, and he was destined to see each other one day, and after speaking, he got out and left.

Gu Ziyuan stood outside the crowd, holding his hands and waiting for her. As if he knew that she would be able to solve this trouble, he exclaimed.

Bai Rong was very useful, and accepted his praise with a smile.

She touched her stomach: "I'm hungry, find a place to eat." ”

Bai Rong pursed his lips, subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and his steps were a little brisker.

Gu Ziyuan looked at the sky, "It's also, it's noon." It's never too late to leave after eating. He smiled indulgently, "I remember someone in the prison told me that there was a restaurant here with good food. ”

As he spoke, he took Bai Rong over there. Although he was unfamiliar with life, Gu Ziyuan found it by asking for directions and the words in his memory.

The two stopped in front of a restaurant, Bai Rong sighed at the doorway decoration, and finally stepped into the door.

Xiao Er greeted him warmly, "How many guest officers, sit upstairs?" Seeing that the men and women were not very richly dressed, they could also see that they were still very neatly dressed, and their smiles deepened a little.

Bai Rong smiled and compared two fingers, and took the lead to go upstairs: Ziyuan, keep up, I'm hungry. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after her and walked in front of her to lead the way, while constantly introducing the signature dishes in the building.

And Gu Ziyuan followed behind Bai Rong with a faint smile, walking forward step by step. Suddenly, he noticed a glimmer of sight staring at him, and when he turned his head slightly, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Four or five people came to the door of the restaurant, all of them silent, with a faint aura on their bodies, and their eyes looked around at all the guests on the first floor.

Although several people have a very heavy murderous aura, they don't have any trace of Jianghu dress. A few people look like rich children who came out to play.

The lobby slowly fell silent, nothing more than being intimidated by them. The fierce aura overwhelmed the people around them, as if there was a faint smell of blood wafting on the tip of everyone's nose.

Especially the one who was dressed in a dark robe, shaking a folding fan in one hand, and the white jade crown looked very valuable.

The junior in the running hall downstairs was suppressed and didn't dare to come forward to entertain him for a while. In the end, he swallowed his saliva and smiled and prepared to receive him.

It seems that although it is not easy to mess with, but what have you never seen in the people who ran the hall? Even those who were dying wanted by the imperial court, they had been entertained.

Take people's money to do things for others, as long as this guy pays money, he is a distinguished guest.

But I thought so in my heart, but it was different when I said it, "How many guest officers, do you want to eat?" His tail trembled a little, for fear that he would accidentally explain here.

That's it, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, and it was not a loss to make some money. Maybe it's just those noble sons who are foxes and fake tigers, and they still want to pretend to be poor men with a lot of oil and water.

However, for some reason, he always felt a cool swishing wind blowing behind his neck.

The gaze that Gu Ziyuan felt was seen by a man in azure robes, he stared at the three of them like eagles, and immediately withdrew his gaze after Gu Ziyuan looked over, as if the sense of oppression he had just exuded was an illusion.

He turned his head and whispered to his companion that he didn't know what he had said.

Gu Ziyuan's heart tightened, this group of people didn't look like ordinary people. He raised his hand to comb his broken hair, as if casually, but actually covered his face with his wide sleeves.

Sure enough, the group of people just now turned their eyes on it, but they were isolated by the wide sleeves.

Could it be that you are here to kill them? Gu Ziyuan's eyebrows froze, and he walked two steps faster upstairs, and after passing the corner, the group of people below couldn't see him.

His eyes were dark, and he thought to himself: It is a good means to dare to appear in broad daylight.

If you come looking for trouble, I'm afraid things will get tricky. He stepped forward and took Bai Rong's hand: "Someone is coming." ”

Bai Rong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was saying, but saw Gu Ziyuan step forward and throw two taels of silver to the shopkeeper, "Please take us to the private room, my wife doesn't like a lot of people." ”

Seeing that he was generous, the shopkeeper smiled and sent him into the private room next to him.
