Chapter Seventy-Five: The Town Next Door
Dr. Liu's small courtyard is quite elegant, and after walking through this village, it doesn't look like a down-and-out family.
Chu Xiao turned to look at Jin Xinyuan, "Your Rendetang's salary is not low. ”
"That's, where is it like you, the salary I am given is not as good as our maid."
Jin Xinyuan pursed his lips and looked at Chu Xiao with his hands on his waist, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Tong Xiang turned his gaze to Jin Xinyuan's body and snorted coldly, "If I hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't know what you could do now?" ”
Tong Xiang was right, Jin Xinyuan snorted lightly, and didn't say anything more.
Jin Xinyue looked at Jin Xinyuan and Tong Xiang bickering, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
She is now beginning to wonder if she has made the right choice to come out, it seems that her brother is indeed not as weak as she imagined.
Several people stood at the door for a long time, and Jin Xinyuan coughed lightly.
"Don't you think it's strange that we're standing in the doorway all the time?"
It's noon, and the people who have gone out to work are coming home one after another, and they don't know what to think when they see such a bunch of people standing in front of other people's houses.
"Then let's go in."
Tong Xiang's words were very calm, as if he was entering his own home.
Walking into Dr. Liu's room, the things inside had been almost moved, and the already spacious room seemed empty at this time.
Tong Xiang was also not polite, and found a place to sit down.
"Why did you say that this Dr. Liu suddenly moved, could it be that he knew that we would come to him?"
After asking the woodcutter just now, Tong Xiang had such a question in his heart.
According to what Jin Xinyuan said before, Dr. Liu has been practicing medicine for several years, and if he really knows that this prescription has side effects, he may not use it.
After all, looking at the situation in Dr. Liu's family, he doesn't look like a person who is short of money.
In this day and age, a person who practices medicine like this is even more clean and self-conscious, and it is impossible for him to use it even if he knows that there is a problem.
Listening to Tong Xiang's question, Jin Xinyuan's expression also became serious, completely devoid of childishness.
"But before yesterday, we didn't even think to track this down."
It has been almost half a month since the appearance of the white flower, and in the past half a month, Tong Xiang has been busy with some things in the medicine hall, and Jin Xinyuan is unhappy about things at home, and they will not care about these things.
Jin Xinyuan's words reminded Tong Xiang that Dr. Liu did not move immediately after leaving Rendetang, which means that there must be something strange about this matter.
Just as a few people were sitting in the room, someone suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar voice, everyone present was startled.
Tong Xiang quickly calmed down, staring at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man who was still domineering just now was obviously a little weak under Tong Xiang's gaze, and his speech was a little unfavorable.
"This house is mine, what are you doing by breaking in so directly?"
Eventually, the middle-aged man's voice grew quieter and quieter, barely audible.
However, Tong Xiang heard the words "the house is his" clearly.
Tong Xiang slightly restrained some of the anger around him, looked at the middle-aged man and smiled.
"Isn't this house Dr. Liu's, so who are?"
Tong Xiang was worried that she couldn't find Dr. Liu, and now that someone came to the door, she naturally couldn't let it go.
The middle-aged man looked at Tong Xiang as if he would harm people, so he was much more relaxed.
"This house belongs to Dr. Liu, but his son sold it to me two days ago, so now this house is mine."
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "I haven't had time to come over and have a look after I bought it, who knew that I would see a room of people when I came over." ”
Without waiting for Tong Xiang and them to explain, the middle-aged man's emotions suddenly became excited.
"Could it be that he sold the house to you too?"
Looking at the middle-aged man's angry expression, Jin Xinyuan chuckled, "Don't worry, we are just here to find someone, and if you buy this house, it will still be yours." ”
Hearing Jin Xinyuan's words, the middle-aged man instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"They've long since moved away, and if you're looking here, you won't find them. But seeing that you're tired of traveling, let's just rest here for a while. ”
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man walked straight to the main seat, staring at the five people in front of him with a smile on his face, as if he was a master.
Tong Xiang was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Big brother, this was all a misunderstanding just now, we were abrupt, sorry. But you said you bought this house just two days ago, so can you take us to Dr. Liu? ”
Since I bought it two days ago, it means that the person in front of me must have had contact with Dr. Liu, at least Dr. Liu's family.
The middle-aged man looked Tong Xiang up and down and shook his head, "I may not be able to help you, I said it when I bought the house, I can't be treacherous." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"Big brother, we really have something urgent to find him, so you can help?"
Chu Xiao stood aside and listened to this, and hurriedly asked.
The middle-aged man seemed to have an iron heart, and refused to say anything, just as if he hadn't heard.
Tong Xiang sighed softly and clenched the fist in his hand, it seemed that he would not open his mouth without giving him some bitterness.
Before she could make a move, Jin Xinyuan snorted coldly, "Don't you just want money, make a price." ”
Jin Xinyuan has been doing business for a certain amount of time, and he has seen a lot of such scoundrels, so he can naturally see clues from them at this time.
At the mention of money, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, and his face was full of smiles.
"It's still this little boy who knows the rules."
He smiled at Jin Xinyuan, stretched out five fingers, and said unhurriedly: "Five taels of silver." ”
"Why don't you grab it?"
Jin Xinyuan's expression immediately changed when he heard this, if it was before, these five taels of silver might not be anything to him.
But for him now, five taels of silver is a month's salary.
Although he took a lot of silver with him when he left Rendetang, he didn't have much money on him because he went out in the morning in a panic.
Seeing the change in Jin Xinyuan's attitude, the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"No money? If you don't have money, don't want to know. ”
Tong Xiang's heart was reborn with anger while listening, since he came here, he had never seen such a shameless person except for her shameless stepfather.
"Isn't it just five taels of silver, big brother, don't worry, as long as your answer can help us, the money will not be less than yours."
Jin Xinyue, who had been standing on the side and had been silent, saw this situation and said unhurriedly.
The middle-aged man was not so excited this time, he looked Jin Xinyue up and down, and chuckled.
"Girl, don't bluff me, I won't say anything if I can't see the money."
Looking at their outfits, it didn't look like they were poor, but Jin Xinyuan's reaction just now made him not dare to easily believe the words of the person in front of him.
Tong Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, she waited coldly for the middle-aged man, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't go too far." ”
The middle-aged man insisted that Tong Xiang and they especially needed their own answers, and he didn't back down at this time.
He tilted his head and stared at Tong Xiang fearlessly, "You have the ability to beat me, I won't tell you anyway." ”
Where has Tong Xiang been provoked like this, the fist in his hand has long been impatient.
Just as she was about to punch, Jin Xinyue walked up to her side and grabbed her and shook her head.
"Doctor Tong."
Coming here this time, after all, it is not a place he is familiar with, and Tong Xiang doesn't want to cause trouble.
Seeing Jin Xinyue like this, she held back the anger in her heart.
Jin Xinyue called Xiaoqin, took out a silver ingot from Xiaoqin's sleeve, put it in his hand, and looked at the middle-aged man from a distance.
"Is this money enough?"
The middle-aged man who was still arrogant just now immediately lit up his eyes when he saw Qian, "Enough is enough." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took the silver.
"Ask, and I'll tell you whatever I know."
Tong Xiang took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his mood, "How did you know Dr. Liu's son?" ”
The middle-aged man's attention was on Yinzi's body at this time, and when he heard Tong Xiang's question, he just responded casually.
"I used to see him when I was doing business, but then he moved, so I thought about buying his yard and coming here with my daughter-in-law to care for the elderly when I am old."
Looking at the middle-aged man's absent-minded appearance, Tong Xiang slapped the table next to him.
"If you look at the money again, I'll take it back."
The middle-aged man was frightened by Tong Xiang's sudden sentence, and he trembled and put the silver on his chest, staring at Tong Xiang vigilantly.
"What you give me is mine."
Seeing this middle-aged man protecting money so much, Tong Xiang rolled his eyes impatiently, this person is really a scoundrel.
Tong Xiang still stared coldly at the person in front of him, "Let me ask you again, do you know where their family lives now?" ”
Probably seeing Tong Xiang's temper, the middle-aged man didn't dare to be presumptuous.
He subconsciously stepped back, not daring to look directly into Tong Xiang's eyes.
"They're in the town of Qishan next door."
"Then you take us there."
Tong Xiang was still staring at the person expressionlessly, and said lightly.
The man's whole body trembled slightly at this time, and not only that, but his body curled up slightly, as if he was avoiding something.
"You don't want to?"
Tong Xiang looked at him like this, obviously a little unhappy.
The man hurriedly raised his head and sighed helplessly, "Girl, it's not that I don't take you there, I really don't know where they live." ”
