Chapter 31 - The Breakthrough of White Picking
Outside the Falling Immortal Building, the shopkeeper sent Lin Yuan and the three of them all the way to the bottom of the steps, and when Lin Yuan turned around and hugged his fists, the display cabinet stopped this year, hugged his fists and said: "Lin Gongzi is still satisfied with the dishes of my Falling Immortal Building today?" ”
If you say that people are not good at this moment, then Lin Yuan is really ignorant. He reached into his sleeve and rummaged through things, and replied: "The dishes are full of color, fragrance and taste, and the hospitality of the shopkeeper is also very good, so ......"
Lin Yuan took out the money bag prepared in advance from his sleeve, stepped in front of the shopkeeper and handed the money bag to him.
Touching the fine silk, the shopkeeper felt the weight in his hand and knew that there were at least a hundred jades in it, he looked at Lin Yuan with astonishment, and hurriedly shirked with Lin Yuan.
"Lin Gongzi, this can't be helped, today is our family to entertain you, how can I accept this money."
Lin Yuan pushed the hand stretched out by the shopkeeper into his arms, he approached the shopkeeper of the year and put the money bag into his arms with his own hands, and whispered: "It is not easy for the shopkeeper to deal with those guests for us, and these jades should be regarded as filial piety to the younger generation." ”
Seeing that his hand was stretched into his arms and wanted to take it out, Lin Yuan didn't give it a chance, he held down his hand at once, and patted the back of his hand twice, so that the shopkeeper could accept it with peace of mind.
Facing Lin Yuan being so sensible, the shopkeeper also had a good impression of him in his heart, so he withdrew his palm that intended to shirk.
As the saying goes, if you have a short hand, you have to be short in your mouth, Lin Yuan understands that people are sophisticated, so how can his old age make the younger generations feel cold.
He put his palm on Lin Yuan's fist that was arched again, and whispered with a smile: "Young Master Lin, don't worry, brother, let me ask you, are you still having a headache about Ling Tang's murder?" ”
Lin Yuan's original intention of offering the money was to take care of the shopkeeper of the Falling Immortal Tower, so that if he had trouble in the future, he might be able to seek help from the Falling Immortal Tower. Now, maybe there's a windfall?
Today's money, don't complain!
Lin Yuan's face was sad, he put down his arms and sighed heavily, and said: "No, I have been looking hard for many years, and there is no clue at all, although Miss Shangguan pointed out a clear way today, there is no way to find out, this Liu Mansion has been exterminated by my sister in the early years; If you want to talk about Thunder Mansion, just one thunder is not easy to deal with. I'm kind of blind now, and I'm all blind. ”
After all, the shopkeeper has to deal with a lot of people every day, how could he not see Lin Yuan's miserable appearance, but thanks to the blessing of the money bag, he only has a pitiful appearance when he sees this young man now.
With a sense of comfort, he put his hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder, and the shopkeeper said regretfully: "Lingtang's matter still hopes that Lin Gongzi will mourn, although I can't find out the reason for the matter for you, but it is not difficult to find a breakthrough." ”
Lin Yuan raised his head to look at the annual display cabinet with some surprise, he grabbed the latter's sleeve excitedly, and said, "Is this true? ”
The shopkeeper nodded his head, he looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered in Lin Yuan's ear.
The old man and Mo Chengcheng, who were standing not far away, saw all this in their eyes, and couldn't help but admire Lin Yuan's handling of human feelings, so they used a money bag to take care of the shopkeeper of the Fallen Immortal Tower.
However, Mo Chengcheng's eyes also saw something different, especially on Lin Yuan's stretched neck.
Seeing the imprint that was about to fade, Mo Tingcheng's head surged with a wave of dizziness, and several images kept flashing in front of her eyes, and her two beautiful big eyes gradually revealed a color of disbelief.
Mo Tingcheng fell into her own memories, Lin Yuan didn't notice it after saying goodbye to the shopkeeper of the year, until Lin Yuan came and saw Mo Tingcheng in a daze, and he scared the girl half to death with a ghost scream, and Mo Tingcheng came back to his senses.
Coquettishly hit Lin Yuan's arm, Mo Qingcheng was dissatisfied: "I'm going to die!" ”
"I'm still fascinated by Shangguan Linshuang, doesn't this scare you to see if there's anything wrong." Lin Yuan laughed. Looking at his happy appearance, I think he got useful guidance from the shopkeeper in the year.
The girl said in a complaining tone: "I think your soul has been shook!" ”
Faced with Mo Qingcheng's complaining like a resentful woman, Lin Yuan had no choice but to walk forward with a haha, and the girl was also used to his scoundrel, gritting her teeth and following beside her.
"What did the shopkeeper tell you this year?" The old man looked at Lin Yuan who was coming and walked with him.
With his hands crossed in front of him, Lin Yuan squinted at the old man and said, "You are so smart, guess for yourself." ”
Seeing Lin Yuan's appearance as a chicken thief, the old man felt that it was time to hit him, so he said, "It's given you a breakthrough, let me think about it...... You can't afford to offend the Lei Mansion, the Lin family is the least suspicious, the Liu Mansion has been destroyed for a long time, so there is only one Lu family left, but you have no evidence against the Lu family, so there is only one result......"
Under Lin Yuan's stunned gaze, the old man continued: "The Liu Mansion and the Lu family have a connection in your father's affairs, and they were also found out by the shopkeeper of the year, so he asked you to find a way to find evidence from the Liu Mansion, and then go to target the Lu family. ”
After the old man chattered about this, he found that Lin Yuan and Mo Chengcheng had stopped, Lin Yuan's stupid boy was staring at him in disbelief, and Mo Tingcheng was constantly looking between the two of them.
Just looking at Lin Yuan's reaction, the old man knew that he had guessed correctly. He reached out and patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, and said with a chuckle: "Young man, the road I have traveled is much longer than yours, and this thing is still easier to guess." ”
Looking at the proud old man depressedly, Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's good that I am friends with you, if you are an enemy, wouldn't you be toyed with by you." ”
"So...... Mr. Qin is all right? Mo Qingcheng asked.
Lin Yuan tilted his head, allowing Mo Qingcheng to see his bitter gourd face, and this answer was naturally self-evident.
Pointing to the road ahead, Lin Yuan gestured and said as he walked.
"The shopkeeper told me that Liu Mansion had a lot of deficits in business back then, and the funds in the house should not be enough to support him to hire a killer in the Falling Immortal Building, but he finally took out the money, and he didn't sell his property, that is, someone funded him behind his back, and as for the ...... that can come up with this money."
Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, the old man continued to talk and said, "It's not the rich man of Lu." ”
"Yes, yes." Lin Yuan nodded.
Although there is a target now, there is still no evidence, and he can't break into the Lu family to make trouble without evidence, so Lin Yuan plans to go back to the mansion first to rummage through the relics of the Liu Mansion back then, and see if he can find any useful clues.
The three of them walked side by side all the way, Lin Yuan had been worrying about this matter, Mo Qingcheng would sneak a glance at Lin Yuan when he had nothing to do, only the old man was like a nobody, looking around.
Walking to the scope of the Lu family's bazaar, Mo Chengcheng saw a shop selling rouge gouache, she turned her head and said to Lin Yuan and the two: "Eldest prince, Mr. Qin, please wait for me for a while, I will come when I go." ”
After speaking, Mo Qingcheng opened his legs and ran into the rouge shop not far away, leaving the two of them looking at each other on the same ground.
But it's no wonder that girls like these things more, and Lin Yuan went with her.
It was inconvenient for the two men to go in, so they could only stand where they were and wait.
"I said, old man, didn't you ask about the Divine Tree today when you had nothing to do." It happened that he was bored at this time, and there was no one else around, so Lin Yuan kicked the stone and asked the old man.
As soon as the old man turned around, he shook his head and chuckled, "You only reacted now?" ”
Lin Yuan raised his head and glanced at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "That stupid girl was here just now, let her know how inconvenient it is." ”
"So, the reason why my father didn't show up has something to do with the Divine Tree?"
Lin Yuan nodded to the point, and the old man also became serious, he looked at Lin Yuan beside him and said, "I can't be sure now, and the things on the sacred tree are too dangerous, and I can't tell you the specific details until the last resort." ”
"Is there something on top of the sacred tree?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.
The old man nodded, and just as he was about to tell Lin Yuan not to ask more questions and not to investigate, a familiar scream sounded from the opposite side.
"You let go!"
This voice, is Mo Chengcheng?
The two hurriedly moved their eyes to the fat powder shop opposite, and there were already a lot of people watching the excitement at the door.
"It's broken! Old man, go! Lin Yuan's heart suddenly felt bad, could it be that someone in Beiliang really recognized Mo Chengcheng?
He and the old man didn't say a word, they took three steps and made two steps, and the two steps turned into one walk, and when he reached the crowd, he hurriedly pushed the people away, and he didn't care about their displeasure and abuse, but only wanted to hurry in.
Finally the last layer of the human wall was removed, and Lin Yuan and the old man saw a man grabbing Mo Qingcheng's wrist.
"Little lady, come back to the house with me!"
The extremely obscene voice came into Lin Yuan's ears, and he didn't care about anything, he stepped forward and grabbed the salty pig's hand hard, and raised his leg and kicked it on the rather upright buttocks.
I only heard a two-word expletive, accompanied by the sound of falling to the ground, and a mountain of meat fell in front of the crowd, causing them to retreat again and again, for fear of being crushed to the ground by this mountain of meat.
The situation has changed, and Mo Chengcheng was still thinking about which hero came to the rescue, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Yuan's fierce side face.
"If you dare to flirt with a girl from a good family in broad daylight, your upbringing will be fed to the dog's belly!" Lin Yuan's voice was full of anger and disdain, but when he turned to Mo Qingcheng, he eased slightly, and his voice became much softer, and he asked, "It's okay, where did he insult you?" ”
Mo Qingcheng held a delicate locket in her hand, she looked at Lin Yuan up and down blankly, and after a while she remembered to reply, and said, "I'm fine, but my wrist hurts slightly." ”
Busy checking the state of Mo Qingcheng, Lin Yuan didn't notice that the person behind him had already climbed up, his face was full of grievances and anger, pointing at Lin Yuan's back and shouting: "Grandpa, dare to kick the master on my Lu family's territory?" It's crooked! ”
I saw him rushing towards Lin Yuan with heavy steps, rolling up his sleeves to reveal the fat arm that was whiter than a woman, and he raised his fist high, as if he wanted to punch Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan turned around when he heard this, the "white-faced fist" the size of the saba was already close at hand, and it was too late to hide or catch it, not to mention, there was a silly girl behind him.
Without having time to think about it, Lin Yuan turned around and firmly protected Mo Qingcheng in his arms, and his right hand was still on her head. This is the third time that Lin Yuan has had close contact with Mo Chengcheng today, although it is all for a reason.
Just when Lin Yuan was about to bear the pain of a punch, it was the big fat boy who screamed before him, the same swear words, the same screams.
Lin Yuan slowly let go of the girl in his arms, he hurriedly turned around, and saw that the old man was already in front of them, so he patted him on the back with a smile and said, "Okay, old man, it's interesting enough." ”
Unexpectedly, the old man turned around with a strange look on his face, and said, "It's really not me, someone has made a move before me." ”
Under Lin Yuan's surprised eyes, the old man said, "You've seen it too." ”
After speaking, the old man gave way to his position, allowing Lin Yuan to see the two people who had fallen in front of the store.
On the top of the steps, the green-robed Roshan was lying face down on the steps, and there was another person lying on his back, only to see that this person's back was full of holes, and he was holding a wine gourd in his hand.
The faces of the two people who fell to the ground were facing each other, and just as the fat guy under him turned his head and wanted to scold, the drunk man on his body hiccuped, and the smell of wine blocked all his words.
Lin Yuan stepped forward curiously, he squatted beside the two of them, and found that the fat brother under him was the person who cried bitterly in front of the door of the Falling Immortal Tower before, and the person on him, Lin Yuan really knew, was the drunk man who told the children a story at the foot of Qifeng Mountain not long ago.
It seems that this drunk man was too drunk, and he rushed out and knocked the fat guy to the ground.
Lin Yuan watched the excitement from the side with amusement, he reached out and patted the fat brother's round head, and said with a smile: "If you ask you to tease my girl, you deserve to be pressed under you." ”
The fat brother was beaten on the head, how could he accept this grievance, and he was about to scold when he turned around, but the drunkard on his body seemed to vomit, so he hurriedly turned his head back.
Fortunately, the drunk man held back, and he let out a snoring sound, as if he was asleep.
Mo Qingcheng hid behind the old man, she poked her head out, looked at Lin Yuan's back squatting on the ground, and didn't know what she thought, her face turned red, and she retracted her head again.
Just as Lin Yuan was playing, a noisy figure sounded outside the crowd, and soon, the crowd was also dispersed to open a road, and more than a dozen people dressed in black walked in fiercely.
"Young Master!" They shouted one after another, and hurriedly walked over, frightening Lin Yuan to get up and retreat.
laboriously turned the drunk man on the fat brother's body to the side, and it looked like the leader was holding the fat brother's armpit to help him up, who knew that he didn't say a good word, but received a heavy hammer on the head.
After getting up, the fat guy raised his foot and kicked the drunk on the ground, and he didn't forget to take a bite in his mouth.
Then, he finally remembered that there was another Lin Yuan, so he pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and scolded aggressively: "Okay, you ignorant child, do you know who I am?" Hurry up and hand over your little beauty, the master will disturb you half to death! ”
Looking at his luxurious green robe and the gold medal around his waist, it was difficult for Lin Yuan not to know his name, but it was strange that among the four families in Beiliang now, there were still people who didn't know him.
So Lin Yuan pointed to his nose and asked curiously, "I said Senior Young Master Lu, you really don't know who I am?" ”
