Volume 1 Wandering Chapter 3 Everyone is dead
"Yes." Lin Zining asked, "How much do you want?" ”
It was still the man who had just asked him who was asking, "How's the condition?" ”
The man was wearing a hat mask, and his tall height did not match the shrill voice, but the short man next to him did not speak, only looked at him and Lin Zining asking and answering.
Lin Zining lifted the cover, walked out of the counter, and arranged for Chen Dalong to greet the guests: "Erlong, I'll go to the backyard to get the goods, you can entertain the two distinguished guests." ”
When Lin Zining went and returned, two men, one tall and one short, were drinking tea at the table in the hall, and they saw the short man looking around the layout of the house, full of scrutiny.
Lin Zining brought two Huoyun grasses, both of which were one foot high, red from top to bottom, and three leaves each of the three stems, which meant the Double Yang of the Three Nines. Because of the black veil, Lin Zining didn't know if the tall man was satisfied, but the short man's eyes were a little moved.
"How do you sell it?" The tall man still cherishes words like gold.
"Thirty-two and one." Lin Zining replied.
Huoyun Grass is a unique herb in the territory of the Southern Protectorate, and if you want to find it elsewhere, you have to go further south out of the imperial frontier and go to the hotter Jinwu Kingdom further south. Although this kind of grass is not rare, but it has a miraculous effect on the treatment of cold and cold wounds, and it is not cheap to go through Hongzhou or Ningzhou from Zhengnan Duhufu to Zhenhai County.
However, these two people seemed to be people who knew the goods, or they were in a hurry to buy, so they didn't bargain, and directly asked for five plants. The tall man was holding the fire cloud grass, and the short man paid and was about to leave, when he suddenly asked, "Do you have ...... here?"
Before Lin Zining could hear what he said, the tall man coughed, and the short man stopped talking.
After being busy for most of the day, he didn't expect to do a good business at this time, Chen Dalong leaned over coldly: "Zining, these two people look so strange?" Could it be that the bandits were injured and came here to buy medicine, right? ”
Lin Zining turned his head and didn't speak, just looked at Chen Dalong, about half a cup of tea, Chen Dalong was seen by Lin Zining to dodge, scratched his temples at the end, and said in a low voice: "Can I make a mistake?" Just don't ask. ”
Seeing that he understood, Lin Zining instructed again: "We just buy things and sell things, and we don't know anything else and shouldn't want to know." If you want to make a bag and inquire, go to the yamen to catch a quick catch, otherwise, you don't know when you will get into trouble. ”
As soon as Lin Zining finished speaking, he heard Liu Junbao ask behind him, "What disaster?" Did you meet any unlucky ghosts? ”
Hehe, there's a bag to inquire about.
Lin Zining didn't answer this, and talked about taking him to see Ziyancao, Liu Junbao just asked in passing, and when he saw Lin Zining, he didn't say anything.
and the second shopkeeper Zhou Gui told him about taking Liu Junbao to the warehouse, and explained a few words to the guy who replaced him, Lin Zining took Liu Junbao to the warehouse and introduced various goods to him one by one.
When he saw a few Huoyun grasses, Liu Junbao was very excited, from the origin to the characteristics, from the appearance to the effect, from the single use to the dispensing, although Liu Junbao asked about the rules and regulations, but asked all of them. I have to say that in the warehouse, Liu Junbao has also received a lot of edification.
However, Liu Junbao's question also aroused Lin Zining's thoughts, what did the short man want to ask? Why did the tall man speak out to stop him? Although Lin Zining did not have Chen Dalong to elaborate, he also recognized his idea in his heart.
They must have bought several things, just to hide something, they only bought one herb in the store, what to hide?
Hide your identity? Absolutely. Why hide your identity? Noble status? Special status? Hiding from the enemy?
It was supposed to avoid the enemy, so in order to prevent the enemy from finding out, he didn't buy all the things in a warehouse pharmacy.
Thinking about it a little fascinated, Lin Zining forgot that Liu Junbao was still asking him something.
came back to his senses, and then talked to Liu Junbao, when he was talking about Ziyu, the big shopkeeper Gongsun Cheng called the owner in the courtyard, listening to the voice, he was quite anxious. Lin Zining and Liu Junbao immediately left the warehouse and returned to the backyard.
I saw Gongsun Cheng running profusely, his face was flustered, and he didn't care about his demeanor, he hunched his waist and gasped for breath and said, "Dongjia, the person we transported goods from Ningzhou was killed in Huanglong Town. ”
Gongsun Cheng's news is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, how can one person in charge of two men, six family members and seventeen mages of the dart game, a total of twenty-six people, be killed?
At this time, it is the end of the day, although the sun is slanting westward, it is still a hot pavement. But Liu Zhenping, who was standing under the sun, seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and only after a while did he ask: "How did you learn the news?" ”
Gongsun Cheng said: "Owner, didn't I deliver the goods back today, on the way I met the governor of Huanglong Town, who came to report the case, he said, early this morning, two evil cultivators rushed into Huanglong Town, and the post station where they lived was killed, from the post to the residents, there was no one alive. It was really miserable, there was blood everywhere, and the head was cut off, miserable, terrible. ”
The source was confirmed, not only Liu Zhenping, but everyone present was stunned. Thanks to Liu Zhenping, he is an old man, and when he came back to his senses, he first took out a cotton towel and wiped the sweat on his face and neck, then looked around and planned silently in his heart.
Seeing that Liu Zhenping didn't speak, the others either looked at each other, or lowered their heads to count the stones, or shrank their heads and hid behind others, but Chen Dalong glanced at Lin Zining, as if he meant something.
And Liu Junbao, a fourteen-year-old half-year-old son, was not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he recalled the main matter and a few buddies, he was heartbroken and angry. Thinking of killing people to pay for his life and taking revenge, he wanted to come forward, but Lin Zining stopped him.
Liu Junbao's eyes were red, he was holding his breath, but he couldn't break free of Lin Zining's hands that held his arms, he was shocked and deflated, looked up at Lin Zining's thin face, felt the strength of his hands, and said in his heart, I can't see that Zining is thin and tall, but his hand strength is so big.
is so good at kung fu, Liu Zhenping has already thought of a countermeasure, cleared his throat, and made arrangements.
He and the second shopkeeper Zhou Gui took seven men, and then transferred ten families from the family to rush to the county government, and then went to Huanglong Town to catch the fast priests of the county government. Gongsun Cheng and Liu Junbao stayed at the cargo station, and when the director died, Lin Zining was immediately promoted to the head of the cargo station to assist Gongsun Cheng and Lin Zining in managing the affairs of the cargo station.
Then Liu Zhenping asked Liu Junbao's guard Liu Fu to go home to mobilize the family, and asked Zhou Gui to rush to the county government to wait for the news, while he discussed with Gongsun Cheng about the bereavement of the family. Fortunately, the goods were not destroyed or lost this time, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Chen Dalong was arranged to stay in the warehouse, although he had a good relationship with Lin Zining, but the current scene was not good to congratulate Lin Zining on his promotion. He walked to Lin Zining's side, stopped talking, and hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind and pulled Lin Zining to a secluded place.
"Zining, those two people at noon are really suspicious, I guess this is the two of them who did it." Chen Dalong said in a low voice.
"Even if it's the two of them, what do you want?"
"Uh......" Chen Dalong didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to prove to Lin Zining that his previous suspicions were very reasonable, and when Lin Zining asked him this, he was a little afraid.
Seeing that Chen Dalong's expression had changed, Lin Zining knew that he understood what he meant.
If those two people in the middle of the day were really evil cultivators in the bloody post station in Huanglong Town, they would definitely be murderous with high mana, if they exposed their identities in front of everyone, they would be angry and embarrassed for a while, and they would be ruthless, and they would kill him cleanly.
Stabilize Chen Dalong, Lin Zining went to see Liu Zhenping. Liu Zhenping was discussing the matter of bereavement with Gongsun Cheng, and when he saw Lin Zining coming in to find him, he asked what was the matter.
Lin Zining looked at Liu Zhenping, and then at Gongsun Cheng, a little hesitant for a while. Gongsun Cheng thought that Lin Zining wanted to avoid himself, and was about to get up and go out, when he heard Lin Zining say: "The big shopkeeper doesn't have to be like this. I'm just not sure if what I'm talking about has anything to do with the murder of the principal. ”
Hearing this, Liu Zhenping first asked Lin Zining to sit down, and then asked him to quickly explain the matter. Lin Zining told the two men about the purchase of Huoyun Grass at noon, and also told Chen Dalong about it.
Unexpectedly, even Chen Dalong, a slow-minded person, doubted the identities of these two people, Liu Zhenping and Gongsun Cheng looked at each other, and they both felt a little headache.
Why? If Lin Zining and Chen Dalong's guess is right, then the most important thing now is not to go to Huanglong Town, the danger is around, the Huanglong Town Post Station must have been surrounded by inspections, and the goods will not be lost. Even if he went to collect the body, he was not in a hurry, and besides, the county government must first transport the body away for autopsy.
If you go to report to the official now, it's okay if the government catches two thieves, otherwise wouldn't you have changed from being injured by mistake to being retaliated by thieves? The door was closed, and the three of them felt a little stuffy when they sat in the room, but no one had the heart to open the door.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Zhenping seemed to have made up his mind, so he said to Lin Zining: "Okay, Zining, I know about this matter, don't tell others about this matter again, when the time is ripe, I will deal with it, you go and get busy." ”
As soon as Lin Zining went out, he saw the second shopkeeper Zhou Gui coming with Zhao Siliu, Lin Zining nodded with him, which was regarded as a greeting. Then, Liu Fu brought ten family members into the courtyard, and so many people came, and the atmosphere of the warehouse changed slightly, as if there were more people, everyone would be able to resist the devil.
Then, Liu Zhenping called everyone in the courtyard again, said something to stabilize people's hearts, and gave a reward to those who went to Huanglong Town and those who stayed in the warehouse to keep vigil today, and then led seventeen people with Zhou Gui to follow Zhao Siliu to the county office.
This will be kung fu, the originally depressing atmosphere, actually a little lively, as if the people who stayed in the warehouse are watching the liveliness of the people who went to the county office, and the people who rushed to the county government are going to see the liveliness in the yamen, and then have to go to Huanglong Town, thirty miles away, to see the liveliness.
Also, the two demon cultivators killed all the people in the post station, what was that scene like?
