Chapter 13: The Double-Faced Boss

Everyone's eyes looked at him together, really, why didn't you say such a crucial thing earlier.

"Since there is such a thing, do you know where the box is?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Yes." Wang Shi replied as he walked to the corner and took out an iron box from the dark compartment behind the scroll, only the size of a palm, with a copper-green lock on top of the wooden box.

"Do you know how to open it?"

"I don't know." Wang Xi shook his head in frustration, he didn't think too much and didn't ask too much at the time. I didn't even think about the will at all......

So now, he is also powerless.

"Grind, bring it to me." Yang Zhi snatched the iron box, took a closer look at the copper-green lock, then pulled off the hairpin on his head, pressed it gently, and a slender needle came out.

"Hey, the sound of unlocking is pretty good." Wang Xi muttered a little guilty.

"Okay, call me Sister Yang, and I'll open any lock for you." Yang Zhi's eyebrows fluttered, and he opened the box in a good mood, "Could it be that there is something precious here?" Is it worth saving? Yang Zhi raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

However, after opening the box, she couldn't help but be extremely disappointed, she put the box on the table, and said helplessly: "It's actually a stack of big white paper, it took a lot of effort from the old lady, and I thought it was a treasure!" Oh, what a disappointment. ”

Wang Xi was also stunned when he saw the big white paper in the box. How, how can this be?

Why did the shopkeeper keep the big white paper and treasure it, and he clearly understood that there was such a secret place.

Fuyunlou is true and fake, along with hidden things.

It's clear at a glance, but you have to beat around the bush. It is impossible for someone to put a big white paper in a box and then specifically tell the trusted person that if he has an accident, he will take this thing to Dali Temple.

What is Dali Temple? Specialized in the trial of criminal and prison cases. If the matter is wide-ranging, it may be handled by the three divisions. So, how can it be a child's play?

What you see with your own eyes is not necessarily true, and there are not necessarily words on a blank piece of paper.

The moment he saw the paper, some memories that did not belong to him emerged from Helianxu's mind.

The emperor ordered Helian Xu to go to Dali Temple to find the female official file and look for evidence.

At the beginning of the annual palace maid assessment in the palace, someone framed and retaliated and designed to change the exam paper, but fortunately, a stack of papers fell into the pond by mistake, and one of the white papers was wet with water, but the handwriting became more obvious.

After a thorough investigation, it came to light that someone was really playing tricks as expected.

The queen was very satisfied with the result, and specially rewarded the palace maid who passed by to catch the scrolls and found the problem and His Royal Highness the idle king who investigated the ins and outs of this matter. At the same time, it is also necessary to clean up the atmosphere in the palace, which can be said to affect the whole body.

"There must be something written on it!" Helianxu replied in the affirmative.

Then he picked up the box, walked to the edge of the pond, scooped some water to soak the paper, and ink gradually appeared on the big white paper. Then spread out the paper and put it neatly on the table, glanced up and down, and knew it.

"It's supposed to be a normal chronicle, but if it's attributed to a chronicle, it's a little special."

Then, the gaze fell on the paper.

Helian Xu read out loud and said slowly, word by word.

"The real floating cloud building is a human inn to send away guests, the fake store does not open a meal, does not open a tea party, and there is no living person. All are coffins, netherworlds. The nameless corpses of the surrounding villages are placed here, and every evening, the road to this shop is closed. ”

It means that this fake floating cloud building is a morgue! However, it cannot be arbitrarily believed that the conclusion is made on this coffin.

"Is this a codex for chronicles? True or false Floating Cloud Inn? Interesting, you go on. Ji Lianchu pinned a strand of hair behind his ear and listened carefully to what Helianxu said.

"I didn't know the truth, I went astray at night, and when I passed by this shop, I found that the shop was brightly lit, so I tried to knock on the door and spend the night. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, and just as he was about to summon, the door opened by itself. ”

"When I opened the door, I found it bustling with people drinking and people gossiping. Energetic and happy. The shopkeeper is very busy, so it's not lively. ”

Wang Xi shook his head, and there were words in his mouth: "Something is wrong, something is really wrong!"

Yang Zhi glanced at Wang Xi, "What's wrong?" Could it be that we have overlooked something? If you think about it, there's nothing wrong with the shopkeeper's notes!"

Nan Xiangzhi slowly raised his head and reminded: "But there are no living people in the first section, and the latter section is very lively. If you haven't heard it, how can it be as lively as he said?"

Yang Zhi: "Yes! Why didn't you think of it just now?! Still Childe is smart!"

"Let's listen to it." Ji Lianchu said.

Helianxu cleared his throat and continued to read the scribbled words on the paper. "That's when I noticed something was wrong. Looking at it carefully, although there are many people chatting and drinking tea, there is no figure. And I also noticed that the shopkeeper seemed to be looking at me with an afterglow! And what's even more incredible is that although the shopkeeper is busy, I can't notice that he is sweating, but his breath is stable. ”

"Hiss~ Isn't the shopkeeper a ghost?!" Yang Zhi exclaimed when he heard this.

Ji Lianchu frowned, "Don't talk nonsense!" What happened next?"

What does the shopkeeper know? What did he want to convey by writing down these personal experiences?

"When I was observing the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was observing me! He beckoned me and said come in! That's right! The shopkeeper seems to be looking at me with his spare eyes!" When reading this, Helian Xu stopped and did not continue, but looked at Ji Lianchu opposite.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time realized that someone had deliberately arranged this play, and there was a pair of invisible hands behind them that controlled everything.

Helianxu took a deep breath and read the staggered handwriting intently.

"Hmm."

"When I saw all this, I was dazed and remembered what my grandmother said when I was a child, that I could see unclean things. My scalp was numb, and I pretended to be calm, and in order to save my life, I closed my eyes in fear and began to recite the incantation "Demons and monsters go away". But when you open your eyes, those terrifying skeletons are gone. I was greeted by a familiar face, and a beautiful girl, but she was staring at me with hatred, like a she-wolf, ready to pounce on me and bite off my neck. I collapsed on the ground in fright, looked at her and asked who she was? She said she was the one who could bring me wealth...... I didn't believe it until I earned my first money in my life under her guidance, and I was no longer looked down upon by anyone. ”

Yang Zhi listened on the sidelines, but suddenly had a question in his heart, "Will there be such a good thing?" The shopkeeper is a normal person with brains, will he agree? And that spell of the demon and the monster to go away works a lot! ”

"This is ill-gotten gain, and it is also the beginning of the sins of the treasurer's life." Helian Xu frowned, and then added: "Also, the ability of the shopkeeper is debatable. The scribbled handwriting on these pieces of paper shows that the pen is frivolous, which is enough to prove that he does not write often, and he should not be in control of the bills, he is just making wedding dresses for others. Of course, it is inevitable that the handle will fall into the hands of others. Or maybe he's just someone else's puppet. ”

The box was thick and heavy, but it was heavy in my hand.

The recruitment plan, shady training, and money transactions mentioned later are jaw-dropping.

Wang Shi squatted silently on the ground, tears in his eyes, and his shoulders shrugged. He never believed that it would be his shopkeeper, but the words left by the shopkeeper had to make him believe it. The confession of a misguided life is enough to prove how well he has hidden it all these years.

Even he who has followed Boss Fuyun for many years has been kept in the dark.

"No, the shopkeeper is not like that." Wang Shi shook his head, never believing that the boss was such a person.

Ji Lianchu walked over, half-knelt to maintain the same height as him, and comforted: "People can't look good, but the mistakes made by the shopkeeper are true, he made a contract with the person who claimed to bring wealth to turn Fuyun Tower into a meeting point." Hurt, kill, hate, money dealing...... If hatred is not extinguished, their money will continue to flow.

Fuyun Tower is also where many forces collude. One truth and one falsehood, in fact, is also to hide people's eyes. ”

"Self-proclaimed? Could it be that there are no demons or monsters in the world? It's all nonsense! If you want me to say, people are much more terrible than ghosts. It seems that you and I have the same opinion, and I have always disbelieved in these ethereal existences, but they are just sinister people's hearts. Yang Zhi held the sword in both hands and put it on his chest, with an excited expression when he met his confidant.

The cleanest and dirtiest place in the world is the human heart.

It is true that the big dye vat of darkness in the world can pretend to be a ghost to cover up the real purpose, that is, it is gone on the wrong road.

There is a high probability that the disappearance of the inn came from the handwriting of the person behind the scenes, and the shopkeeper of the Fuyun Inn may be the shield he found to shield the dead ghost, but one day he found out that he had his own ideas and even collected evidence, so there was no need for this proud puppet to exist. Although there is a loss, the long pain is not as good as the short pain, and in the end, there is only a timely stop loss.

Ji Lianchu shook his head, "The shopkeeper's usual memories should be mentioned later, step by step, he slowly realized that he had been deceived, and it was also from that time that he began to collect evidence, those people used their timid and ambitious minds to make money to do secret things, and exclude dissidents from taking advantage of them." Fuyunlou is not so much an inn restaurant as a killer organization founded by a certain dignitary, which has secretly cultivated a lot of forces, which also brings convenience to the nobles in need. ”

The manuscript was held in everyone's hands, carefully identified, and slowly understood what happened later in Helianxu's statement.

"It's pretty much the same as Childe said. Hey? Look hereβ€”"

Wang Xi also noticed this, and the familiar boss in his memory suddenly became unfamiliar. Is he still the same shopkeeper he once knew?
