Chapter 170: Where Did the Book Come From?
Shen Xiu was asked by his own princess not to make a move, but it was okay to help a little. Sent Yan Jiu to investigate the source of Yanshu according to the instructions of the Yuan Circle, and meditated to accompany her in the mansion.
Yan Jiu's efficiency has always been awesome, and in less than half a day, he reported the results to the Yuan Circle.
"Princess, I found it. The book seller is a mobile bookseller, who has been selling some erotic books and weird books on the side of West Street. His subordinates asked him, and he said that in the past six months, three people had asked him to buy the copy of "Flying Flowers", two of whom were his regular customers, and the other was the first time to buy books from him. β
Yuan Quanquan clenched his fist with one hand and knocked on the palm of the other, "Ha, the eight achievements are him!" His eyes flashed, and he asked, "Have you found out who that person is?" β
Yan Jiu naturally wouldn't let her down, and nodded: "According to the description of the bookseller, the subordinates found this person. However, ......" paused, glanced at Yuan Quanquan, and received her puzzled look before adding, "He's just an ordinary person, and there's nothing special about him." β
Yuan Quanquan thought for a moment, there was a conjecture in his mind, he was silent for a moment, and told Yan Jiu to work hard again: "You go and check the person who bought the book again, and ask if someone asked him to buy the book, and who that person is." β
Yan Jiu didn't ask much, "Yes." He received the order and quickly disappeared in place.
The meditation cultivator understood her, and instantly guessed her thoughts, "Xiaoquan'er thinks that someone deliberately went around the bend to get that book through this person?" β
The purpose of this is obvious, to hide people's eyes.
But the person who is making trouble behind the scenes is probably not a smart person, as everyone knows, he did this just to spend more effort and time when investigating, so obviously covering his ears and stealing the bell, a fool will not be able to find out.
And Yuan Quanquan is not a fool, she figured out the way out with a little thought.
"Well, this person has gone to such great lengths to frame me with such inferior means, Beitang, if you find this person, what will you do?" She doubted Li Changning in her heart, if it was found out that she was really playing tricks behind her back, would the meditation cultivator drive Li Changning out of the palace like she had done before when she drove Xu Wanrou?
Meditation asked her rhetorically, "What do you want to do?" β
"Hmm...... Well, let's talk about it when the time comes. "It's not sure whether it's Li Changning or not, and it's not easy for Yuan Quanquan to talk nonsense, and when the truth of the matter is revealed, she will seek justice for herself.
In an ordinary house in the west of the city, a dark-skinned, short, groundhog-like man was squatting in a corner of the yard, pouting and not knowing what to dig in the corner.
As he was digging hard, he suddenly seemed to feel a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back, turned his head to look back, and almost turned his head back in fright.
"You...... Who are you? How did you get in? Staring at the man in black standing not far behind him, the groundhog asked angrily.
Yan Jiu stood straight, his hands clasped his arms, a fairly handsome face was expressionless, he didn't answer the other party's words, and even his voice didn't fluctuate at all: "Last month nineteen, did you buy a copy of "Flying Flower Yanxiang" from the bookseller? β
Hearing this, the groundhog looked stunned, as if he was thinking about the events of that day, and after a while, he got up from the ground impatiently, patted the dirt on his body and hands, and replied: "Yes, I bought a copy of this book, what's wrong?" β
After speaking, he paused, stepped forward and walked in front of Yan Jiu, the other party's high altitude made his expression freeze for a moment, and then quietly took two steps back, raised his head slightly and said in a very rushed tone, and shouted at Yan Jiu: "Who are you?" What do you want to do when you come to my house? As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced to the corner behind him, as if there was some unknown treasure hidden there.
Yan Jiu's gaze slanted slightly, glanced at the corner, and faintly saw a little golden light from the crack in the wall.
The groundhog-like man immediately stepped back and blocked that position with his body, staring at Yan Jiu like a thief, and shouted to chase people away: "Where did the madman come from?" Get out of here! If you don't go out again, I'll report to the official! β
Yan Jiu turned a deaf ear to his words, and instead turned to leave, instead took a step closer, "Who told you to buy the book?" Who did you give it to after you bought it? β
The groundhog was also angry when he saw that he was still not leaving, and after hearing his question, he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Do you care what books Lao Tzu likes to buy?" I can't buy it and see it myself! β
Yan Jiu, as the most powerful subordinate beside the Ghost King, naturally has a high status in the ghost world, and although he talks little on weekdays and looks very obedient, he also has a little temper.
This stupid mortal can't understand human speech...... Oh no, it's nonsense, then don't blame him for bullying "people".
He glanced at the groundhog without waves, and then raised his hand to point at the other party, and slowly raised his palm upward, only to see that the short man suddenly left his feet off the ground, and the whole person rose out of thin air.
The man let out a groundhog scream, and his face turned white with fright, "You...... Who the hell are you? Do you want to ...... What do you want to do? Fast...... Put me down! β
Yan Jiu didn't speak, the higher his hand rose, the higher the man rose, he was also a useless person, he was so frightened that he peed his pants directly, the yellow liquid soaked his pants, and fell to the ground with a click, and immediately there was a smell of urine scattered around strongly.
Yan Jiu's expression remained the same, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes, and he finally stopped and let the man stop two feet above the ground.
The frightened groundhog howled, "Big ...... Daxian spares his life! Spare your life! β
Yan Jiu withdrew his hand, "Answer my question." β
The man's face was covered with tears and snot, and finally he confessed honestly: "Book...... I don't know who asked me to buy it, but the man left a note saying that if I bought the book, I would put it in a miscellaneous pile behind Zhao Ji Qian Village, saying that there would be a reward for me. The whole person hung in the air and couldn't go up or down, which scared the man and cried again, "Big ...... Daxian, I'm just taking money to do things for others, I really don't know anything! Don't kill me! β
After hearing his words, Yan Jiu paused for a moment, feeling that the other party didn't dare to lie and deceive him, and his hand was directed, but he paused suddenly: "What about the note?" β
"Throw...... Thrown. β
As soon as Yan Jiu's hand was released, the man let out an "ah" and fell from mid-air at once, just hitting the bubble of urine that he had sprinkled himself.
When he came back to his senses and looked up, the man in black who suddenly appeared disappeared silently as when he came.
"Ghost ...... Hell! The marmot screamed again, rolling his eyes on the spot and fainting on the spot.
Yan Jiuzhao came to the alley behind Zhao Ji Qian Zhuang as the man said, and sure enough, he found a pile of debris in the corner.
He stepped forward to take a look, straightened up, and glanced around, as if looking for something. After a while, he said coldly: "All out!" β
At first, there was no movement, and the alley was still quiet. However, after a while, a cold air suddenly rose around him, and then, from the shadows, two white ghosts slowly floated out.
After the two ghosts appeared, they only stood far away, looking at Yan Jiu and not daring to approach.
Yan Jiu looked at them, "Come here, I have something to ask you." β
The two ghosts looked at each other, and then slowly floated over.
"I ask you, last month nineteen, did you see anyone here?"
These two ghosts are two men who look similar, they are two brothers, they came to this Zhao Ji Qian Zhuang to steal money because of their wealth addicts, and one of them panicked because they heard the wolf dog raised by Qian Zhuang barking, and accidentally fell off the roof and died. The other was bitten to death by a wolfdog when he didn't run away.
After the two died, the ghosts did not go to reincarnation, but stayed in the place where they diedβnear the money village and in this alley.
They swore that they would take revenge!
As a result, the wolf dog that killed them was finally boiled to death by them a few days ago.
In front of these two little ghosts, Yan Jiu is considered a big man, he asked, how dare the two little ghosts not answer.
"Back to my lord, someone has been here." One of them had tattered clothes, and there were many wounds on his body, and he was covered in blood - it was probably the ghost who was bitten to death by the dog who spoke first, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I remember that day, that day the dead dog didn't know where to take a roast chicken, and ate quite happily in front of my brothers, damn, neither of us brothers has eaten such fragrant roast chicken......"
"Getting to the point!"
"Uh-oh." It seems that he is very indignant that even the dog has roast chicken to eat and they don't have it, the male ghost's expression is a little hideous, but what should be explained is very clear, "I remember that two people came here that day, first a man, holding a small cloth bag and putting it here. Soon after the man left, another woman came, and she took the cloth bag from the pile of miscellaneous items, and I don't know what was wrapped in it, and it looked boxy and looked like a book. β
Oh, that's right.
"Do you remember what that woman looked like?"
The male ghost thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't remember clearly, I just remember that it was a young girl, she looked good, she was average, she was dressed very well, and she was probably a girl from a big family." β
Yan Jiu was silent.
"Ahh I remember! Another ghost next to him suddenly cried out, "I remembered one thing, when the little girl was carrying the cloth bag, she probably thought it stinked here, and covered her nose with a handkerchief, and I saw that she embroidered a gold word on the handkerchief, gold of gold." β
Yan Jiu: "...... Is there anything else besides that? β
"Uh...... Nope. The two ghosts shook their heads in unison.
"Okay, I got it." After speaking, Yan Jiu turned around neatly, and the moment he turned around, his figure disappeared.
"A girl? The handkerchief is still embroidered with gold letters? After Yan Jiu returned home, he immediately reported the news he had found to Yuan Quanquan, who raised his eyebrows and pondered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Golden words?
Li Changning's personal ring, the name is Jin'er. Is this a coincidence?
Oh, where are there so many coincidences in the world.
