Chapter Forty-Nine: The Sword of Heaven
It seems that because of the perennial desertion, the owner of the tea shop woke up from his sleepy state after the thunder fell in for a long time, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then remembered to greet the guests.
The boss is a man of about fifty years old, not tall, slightly fat, under the scattered eyebrows, a pair of cloudy eyes as if he can never wake up, two sparse yellow whiskers under the oily nose, the clothes on his body have not been washed for a long time, dirty and worn, giving people the overall feeling that he is a small person drowning in the world.
At this time, he was wiping the table and chair in front of Lei Luo with a wet cloth soaked in water, and said with a smile on his face: "A few sons really have Yaxing, they have come to take care of the villain's business so early! ”
Soon, a pot of steaming and fragrant tea was served.
The boss set up the teacup, carefully filled it, and smiled at the three of them: "Please try the villain's craftsmanship." ”
Lei Luo took a sip of tea, looked around, and asked, "Looking at the way you look here, it seems that you have been here for a long time, right?"
"No more, no less, twenty years. The boss held out two fingers.
Lei Luo's mouth pouted, twenty years? Twenty years to mix up this virtue? Then you guy is either dead or an idiot!
Although he thought so in his heart, he said with a smile: "No wonder the craftsmanship is good!"
"Childe has won the prize. ”
"By the way, you're the only one running here, and you don't have a wife or children to help?"
The boss sighed: "The villain's wife and children are long gone......
"What's going on?" Thunderfall suddenly became interested.
"It's not a secret, in fact, the villain is not a local person, but has fallen into trouble!" The boss sat down at another table and said gloomily: "More than 20 years ago, because of his youth and vigor, the villain offended a local magnate, who colluded with local officials and killed my parents, wife and children. ”
"So miserable?!You didn't think about revenge?"
"Of course I thought about it, I dreamed of it! But the power of that powerful person is too great, and there are officials to support him, and the villain brothers are just unarmed ordinary people, how can they fight them! It's a great luck to be able to keep this crippled body......
"It turns out that you are also a poor man...... In that case, how about I not only take care of your business today, but also give you a small fortune?"
"Really, what?" said the boss, grimacing.
Without a direct answer, Lei Luo asked rhetorically, "Can you see what we do?"
"This ......" the boss looked at it carefully and hesitated: "Listening to Childe's accent is not like a local, isn't it...... Is it a young hero who came to the First Martial Arts Academy to participate in the examination?"
"Hehe, good eyesight!"
A sentence of young hero, so that Lei Luo suddenly a little fluttering, he took out two ingots of silver and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "I have a special hobby, I like bizarre rumors and anecdotes the most, this time it is rare to visit, naturally I can't let go, I don't know if this hundred taels of silver, can I let the boss satisfy my little hobby?"
One hundred taels of silver, for a rich person, is not even a dime, but a tea shop of this scale is more than enough even if you buy it.
As soon as the boss saw the white silver, he immediately smiled and said, "If the son wants to know something, just ask, the villain must know everything." ”
Hu Lie laughed secretly in his heart, Lei Luo, this guy is really not bragging, first talk well, and then lure him to take advantage, and in a few words, he will make the problem logical, and he will never ask for clues like this.
Lei Luo pretended to think for a moment, then his eyes suddenly fell on the opposite side of the street, and asked, "What's the matter with that mansion? It covers such a vast area, why has it become a ruined wall? And it shouldn't have been a short time to see the desert? The surrounding area is so deserted, it can't have anything to do with it, right?"
The boss was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I think back then, it was a place where the scenery was prosperous, but it was a pity that the extremes of things must be reversed, and the prosperity must decline......
Seeing that he had a tendency to go off-topic, Lei Luo frowned and said, "This is not my interest. ”
"Yes, yes, the villain is also emotional, don't blame the son!"
The boss hurriedly confessed, and then said: "Speaking of the old man Liu Wence in that mansion, he is a very good person, in this first city, it can be said that everyone knows and everyone knows......" Then, he continued to talk.
The more the three of them listened, the more they frowned, Mo Wuji had also said this not long ago, this boss was much the same as what he said, and after thinking about it carefully, except for the name of the head of the family in the house, there was no valuable news.
After listening patiently, he still found nothing, and Dao Yuan couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, on the day of the crime, there was a mysterious person who went to Liufu, and later the official family verified the body, but did not find this person, and even Miss Liu Er did not know whether she was alive or dead, and her whereabouts are unknown...... Aren't there any rumors about these things?"
The boss looked at Dao Yuan strangely, with a look of "how come you know more than I know", and said stunned: "This villain doesn't know ......"
"What are the names of those two young ladies?"
"This ...... People are the daughters of a family, how can people like us be lucky enough to know their names! Childe is too high to look up to villains......
"So over the years, have relatives and friends of the Liu family come to visit and inquire?"
The boss then shook his head: "This villain doesn't know ......."
Lei Luo shouted dissatisfiedly: "You don't know what you want, you don't want the silver!"
At this moment, a few slight coughs came from the back room, and the boss hurriedly got up and said: "My brother has been infected with the wind and cold for the past few days, and he is resting inside, let the villain take care of it, and the three of you will sit for a while......"
The door of the inner room was not closed, only a curtain hung outside, and the moment he lifted the curtain, a clear and emaciated face flashed inside.
Dao Yuan's heart moved: those eyes...... It seems somewhat familiar......
He winked at Lei Luo, leaned into Hu Lie's ear and whispered a few words, Hu Lie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
After a while, the boss came out of it and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to neglect your guests." ”
Dao Yuan said lightly: "Taking care of my brother is what I should do, the boss doesn't need to be polite, I have studied medicine for a few days, and I have some experience in treating diseases such as wind and cold, why don't you let Brother Ling take the pulse in Xia?"
The boss hurriedly waved his hand: "This can't be helped, our brother is an inferior person, how dare to work on the body of the son, Jin Yu, won't he lose his life! And even if you don't care about such a minor illness, you will be healed naturally in a few days......
Seeing him like this, Dao Yuan became more and more determined, and said calmly: "The boss is wrong in what he said, don't you hear the principle of minor illnesses and big care! But all diseases, there is no reason to cure themselves without medicine......
"The villain is grateful to Gongzi Gaoyi, but he really doesn't dare to ......"
"How long do you want to pretend?"
With this thunderclap-like roar, a domineering and incomparable sword aura appeared out of thin air, with a killing intent like splitting the sky and the earth, like light and electricity, and the target was directed at the boss at the door.
For a time, the tea shop was full of murderous machines and the air conditioning was pressing.
