Chapter 58: The Owner's Mansion (1)
Three days later, the thirty-fifth day after all visitors enter Luojiazhuang,
The door of the East Visitor opened, and two men walked out.
The leader of the person is rich, wearing fine brocade clothes, with long nails on his hands, and his whole body is white and pure, which is the owner of the East Guest, Dong Lanxi.
The person behind him was sturdy, with a long knife at his waist, a short beard on his chin, and a Chinese face that looked quite evil! This person is the guard of the East Shopkeeper - Liu Zayu!
The two of them walked out of the east one after the other, and walked slowly towards the owner's mansion like a walk.
"How many have you been to?" The shopkeeper who walked in front of him said as if chatting.
"Twenty of them went." The guards in the back replied without thinking.
There was no respect for his master in his tone, but it was like he was chatting with a friend, but the shopkeeper didn't care, or he felt that it was natural for the person behind him to speak to him in this tone, and continued to talk to the guards without saying a word.
"Oops! You're fast! It seemed that he was a little surprised, and after hearing the guard's answer, the shopkeeper suddenly couldn't help but exude a youthful and lively flavor that was extremely inconsistent with his body shape and age.
"Be careful." The guard behind reminded expressionlessly: "You are now the owner of the shopkeeper." β
"Yes, to the ......," while speaking, the "East Shopkeeper" returned to a squinting Maitreya Buddha smile.
Obviously, these two people are not the real Dong Shopkeeper and Liu Zayu, but are dressed up by Yunlou and Mu Yan.
"Do you remember the tourist at the Pure Temple?" Yunlou, who was silent for a while, walked in front of him, and suddenly said.
"Do you want to apprentice to the Pure Meditation Sect?" Mu Yan frowned and tried to think about it, although he had heard Rahman and the others mention that guy, it was already the time of the demon tide, and he had never seen it after the party or his visit to the Pure Temple.
Before entering the Lion Camel Mountain Range, Mu Yan also asked people to check quietly, but there was no news, and after the demon tide, the guy seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and never appeared again.
"He's dead?" Mu Yan continued to ask, this kind of thing happened too much during the demon tide, those people were either eaten by the monsters, or took advantage of the chaos to escape from Luojiazhuang, and that guy as a tourist could only be the former.
"Dead!" Yun Lou said softly: "And it was killed by someone!" β
"The Owner's Mansion?" Mu Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that Yunlou mentioned this matter to him at this time, and nine times out of ten, it was related to the Zhuang Lord's Mansion.
"Perhaps......" Yun Lou struggled to maintain an approachable smile on his face, "someone saw a man dressed in black and wearing an eye patch walk into his residence, and he never appeared again. β
"It seems that nothing was left at the scene."
"Of course!"
"Then the inn where he stays......"
"Although there is no clear evidence, the proprietress seems to owe money to a certain steward of the owner's mansion."
"It's still the owner's mansion......"
"Could it be that there is something else?"
"I do think of a person, but I have experienced a demon tide Luo Jiazhuang wears an eye patch so much, and I can't be sure, besides...... You know what I'm suspicious! Mu Yan casually glanced around and said in a calm tone.
"Hehe...... Yun Lou smiled and didn't say anything more.
The two walked all the way along the river, crossed the Chunhong Mansion, crossed the Fulai Inn, and the Zhuang Lord's Mansion in the distance was already in sight.
After a while,
"Have you forgotten what to tell me?" Mu Yan stared at the rich back of the "East Shopkeeper" and said.
Yun Lou snickered twice and didn't know what he was happy about, and said in a somewhat irrepressible excited tone: "I thought you forgot!" β
Mu Yan looked at him with a strange look, not that he felt strange, but he felt that he might never be able to keep up with the nervous patient's train of thought.
"The shopkeeper of this generation of Fulai Inn is called Xue Ping'an......" Yun Lou said in a leisurely tone, "...... is also dead!" β
"I found him when I was hiding the third stage of the main line, this guy died in a little-known mountain village in Zhu Ziguo, it's a pity."
Mu Yan was silent after listening, the shopkeeper who owned the largest inn in Luojiazhuang actually wanted to go to a small mountain village in Zhu Ziguo to live, and it was self-evident who he was hiding.
And after his death, the Fulai Inn was still operating normally, and it said that there was no support from the Zhuang Lord's Mansion, who would believe it?
Yun Lou saw that Mu Yan didn't speak, so he stopped speaking, squinting his eyes and looking at the Zhuang Lord's Mansion that was getting closer and closer, as if he was thinking about something.
The two continued to approach, and the appearance of the chief steward of the Zhuang's Mansion was clearly in their eyes.
"There is a confusion in the formation in the owner's mansion, and I can't detect the situation inside." While walking across the river, Mu Yan suddenly took a step forward and whispered in Yunlou's ear.
Yun Lou nodded, didn't say anything, and walked forward with him.
"Oops, East Shopkeeper!" The chief steward who was standing at the door to greet the guests suddenly smiled brightly when he saw the face of the shopkeeper in the east.
"You've got it......" he trotted up to meet him, beckoning two servants.
"Money is in charge!" Yun Lou also squeezed out a smile and walked over, "Why are you always busy working here!" β
He said as he beckoned to the back.
Mu Yan hurriedly took out the invitation and handed it over.
Steward Qian stretched out his hand, his eyes were still on Yunlou, and he was polite to him, but he didn't look at Mu Yan.
Then, his hand sank, and he didn't know when he had an extra money bag!
Steward Qian glanced at Mu Yan with an imperceptible gaze, and the conversation with Yunlou did not stop, and there was no abnormality on his face, and with a flip of his palm, he skillfully slid the money bag into his sleeve.
After doing this, he had to greet them because of the arrival of a few more guests, so he had to let two domestic servants lead the two of them in first.
Before leaving, he quietly leaned into Yunlou's ear and said to him: "The owner of the village has been in a good mood in the past few days, and the shopkeeper must seize the opportunity!" β
Yun Lou was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a clear expression, and he glanced at the money manager "gratefully", and slipped out of his hand to stuff a small bag of silver to him, but was pushed back.
Steward Qian shook his head with a smile and turned to meet the other invitee.
Yunlou was not reluctant, took back the money bag with a smile, and then motioned for the two servants to lead the way, and walked in with Mu Yan.
As soon as he entered the gate, Mu Yan's face changed, and then quickly returned to normal.
He raised his head and began to look aroundβthe moment he stepped into the gate of the Zhuang Lord's Mansion, the spiritual power of his whole body was compressed to a distance of five meters from his side!
Obviously, this was one of the effects of the formation that blocked his mental power.
"You have to be careful!" Mu Yan said secretly in his heart.
Soon, because the servants could not appear at the banquet site, the two servants took the two of them to part ways in the second courtyard, and when they left, Mu Yan arched his hand to Yunlou and said, "Shopkeeper, then Liu will go down first!" β
Yun Lou's eyes flashed, nodded and smiled: "Well, go ahead!" β
