The night of Qingtian City is a little rich in the middle of the night, but it is not very quiet, there are high or low shouts in the air from time to time, especially in the tavern Qinglou, which is even more noisy, and the lights that are not dense and not bustling are swaying in the dark night, as if the whole city is floating.

In the past eight years, there are two things that are often talked about by the people in Qingtian City, the first thing is naturally that the remote town in the west was slaughtered in broad daylight, and this incident has caused a lot of turmoil in Qingtian City.

Because the remote town called Xinling Town is one of the dozens of small towns under Qingtian City, although it feels far away on weekdays, but such an amazing incident has happened, which suddenly makes the people of Qingtian City feel that they seem to be very close to Xinling Town, and a worrying panic has inevitably spread in Qingtian City for nearly half a year.

And the second thing is a great thing for the ordinary people of Qingtian City, because the city lord who has been in Qingtian City for eleven years, the mediocre and incompetent, wanton collection of wealth, and insatiable dog city lord finally stepped down, and it is rumored that the emperor was forced to return to his hometown by three consecutive products, and the current city lord of Qingtian City is a native of Qingtian, the head of the Long family, Long Zongzheng.

"I said, little brother, look at your appearance from the countryside, right? Are you looking for any relative? Qing Tiancheng said that it is not small, but it is not big, or you tell me the name of your relative, and I will see if it is someone I know. ”

Outside the door of a closed and closed house called Fulai Tavern on the street of the Long family's house, squatting at the door to enjoy the shade, Wang Daniu, who was in charge of keeping vigil in the Fulai Tavern at night, hunched his back and looked at the young man next to him who had been chatting with him for nearly an hour, and asked with some curiosity.

Long Chen smiled a little innocently, nodded and said, "Well, I'm here to find someone, but not to find relatives, but to help my father collect an account, which has been owed for many years." ”

Wang Daniu was still very curious and asked: "Oh, it turned out to be a debt collector, what is the name of that person, and how much money does he owe to your family?"

"My dad told me fourteen silver coins. ”

Speaking of this, Long Chen paused slightly, then scratched his head, and said to himself with a somewhat embarrassed face: "That person's name is Long Furen, but I forgot where that person lived, I was here at noon, and no one paid attention to me when I asked a lot of people." ”

"Long Furen?"

Wang Daniu was startled, lowered his voice and asked, "Which Long Furen?"

Long Chen was slightly stunned and said, "Are there many people named Long Furen here?"

Wang Daniu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I know that there is only one person named Long Furen, but it is definitely not the one who owes your family." ”

"Why don't you owe money to my family?

"Keep your promises?"

Wang Da Niu spit a mouthful of thick phlegm to the side, and said with a disgusted face: "If he keeps his promises, sows will ****** be able to climb trees, and he knows that the four words are rich and unkind? That is to say, his, the reason why you Brother Wang and I are sure that he is not the Long Furen who owes you money, of course he is not a mouthful, with my understanding of that guy, the fourteen silver coins of your family cannot enter his eyes at all, and he cannot have anything to do with your family with fourteen silver coins, if you say that you owe your family one hundred and forty silver coins, it is possible." ”

Long Chen refused to give up and asked: "Then Brother Wang, do you know where he is now?" When I was a child, I saw the side of Long Furen who owed money to my family, if I saw it again, I should recognize it. ”

"It's for nothing to go, it's definitely not the one who owes you money. ”

After Wang Daniu finished speaking, he looked at Long Chen and seemed to refuse to believe it, and sighed helplessly: "Come on, look at you and don't see people without giving up, the Long Furen I said is now drinking flower wine in the Red Ying Building, and in the evening I saw that his carriage was going in that direction, and he has not come back yet, if you are lucky, you can wait at the door of the Red Ying Building for an hour to see him come out, and if you are unlucky, you will have to wait until the morning." ”

"Oh, thank you, Brother Wang! I'll wait. ”

Long Chen stood up and was about to leave after thanking him, Wang Daniu shouted "hey" behind him, and said loudly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you know how to go to Hongying Building? Go straight ahead and turn right, go all the way to the end and see a pawnshop and then turn left, and then you just look for the building with the brightest lights." ”

"Got it!"

Long Chen turned his head and replied, running quickly into the distance, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dark alley.

"What a fool, how could that Long Furen owe your family fourteen silver coins, but it is possible for me. Wang Daniu muttered, stood up, patted his buttocks, yawned, turned around and opened the door and walked into the tavern with a sleepy face.

When the wooden door of the Fulai Tavern was closed, Long Chen, who was waiting in the corner of the alley in the distance, took another step forward and walked in the direction of the Red Oriole Tower.

Since entering Qingtian City, Long Chen has been very careful, and he did not quietly enter the city until after nightfall, because he was not sure whether the Qingtian Long family had anything to do with those black cavalry back then, and he didn't want to fall into a catastrophe because of his carelessness.

Qingtian City is very large, at this time Long Chen came here for the first time, and it is not easy for the vast sea of people to find Long Furen, he can't just ask someone casually, God knows how many eyeliners are in this Qingtian City, which is basically surnamed Long, maybe it will attract attention if you don't pay attention to it.

The location of Qingtian's Long's mansion can be found without asking, and Long Chen's most direct method should have been to sneak into the Long's mansion and kidnap a guard to ask him, but he wouldn't be naïve to think that the Long's mansion would go in if he wanted to.

Eight years ago, there were monarch-level insect mystics who worked for the Long family, and Long Zongzheng is now the city lord of Qingtian City, and the power in his hands is more than twice as great as before, and there will only be more mysteries who work for him than eight years ago.

Therefore, Long Chen pondered for a while before pretending to be a poor boy from the countryside, in fact, he didn't need to pretend to be dressed at all now, and the guy who was enjoying the shade at the door of a tavern on the avenue at the entrance of the Long family's house, that is, the Wang Da Niu just now, chatted for nearly an hour, and found out where Long Furen was.

The reason why Long Chen thinks that he can know where Long Furen is from Wang Daniu's mouth is very simple, the avenue at the gate of Qingtian Long's house is out of the city to the west and east, and the south is from the door of the Fulai Tavern into the city, if Long Furen is still in Qingtian City, and if he doesn't stay in the mansion and goes to other places in the city, he will definitely pass by the door of this Fulai Tavern, so it is impossible for Wang Daniu, who has been a buddy in the Fulai Tavern for three years, not to know.

In fact, Long Chen was not at ease with Wang Da Niu, so after getting Long Furen's whereabouts, he still carefully hid in the shadows and observed for a while, and only after confirming that Wang Da Niu did not have any abnormal behavior did he dare to leave for the Red Ying Tower.

Although it was the first time to come to Qingtian City, before chatting with Wang Daniu, Long Chen had already spent nearly an hour wandering around the city for a long time, although he didn't dare to say that he knew the geography of Qingtian City well, but he was already familiar with some routes suitable for hiding and even suitable for quick escape, if something happened, he could leave Qingtian City within five minutes if he used the first-level amplification.

This kind of accident is to meet more than two monarch-level mysteries.

When Long Chen took a shortcut from his memory to the front of the Red Oriole Tower, which was full of red lanterns full of warblers, swallows, and faint music, he saw Long Furen with a ruddy face hugging left and right at a glance just walking out of the gate of the Red Oriole Tower, although it was ten years ago since he last saw Long Furen, and now Long Furen is also a lot fatter than before, but that snarky and sinister face, how could Long Chen forget.
