Early the next morning, Qin Wen took out two spars from the Qiankun Bead and handed them to Lu Mo, asking him and Ao Yu to buy the three courtyards together, while he walked to the patrol camp.

After seeing Xiao Zheng in the camp, the two walked towards the Dongcheng that needed to be patrolled, and after the experience of drinking together yesterday, Xiao Zheng became more familiar with Qin Wen, and walked on the street and casually introduced to Qin Wen the places they passed by, as well as the things that need to be paid attention to in patrolling.

After coming to the street inspected by Dongcheng, Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen turned around slightly, and sat down in front of a small tea stall at the corner of the street.

After Xiao Zheng sat down, he also waved his hand for Qin Wen to sit down and rest, and then asked the old man: "Lao Wang, how is the business during this time?

The old man smiled slightly: "I have inherited Xiao Ye's light, and the business has barely survived, since you warned those people last time, they have never come to ask for money, by the way, Xiao Ye, this is my tax this month, it's a little little, don't be surprised." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of loose gold from his pocket.

Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said: "You can keep this money for yourself, anyway, your stall is not within the scope of taxes, just leave us a place to rest in the future." ”

Lao Wang saw that Xiao Zheng didn't reach out to ask for it, so he said a lot of good things to Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen with a thousand thanks, and then trembled and took the gold back into his pocket.

After seeing Lao Wang greeting other guests, Xiao Zheng looked at Lao Wang's back and said: "This old Wang has a good heart, he was originally from Xicheng, maybe the main family was killed, and there is no place to go." When I first came here, I didn't have a penny on me, and he couldn't help but serve tea and take care of a full meal. ”

"When I became a patrol monk, I took care of his business. Some time ago, a few thugs from Xicheng came here to collect his fees, and I taught him a lesson, but he may have forgotten that I was the hungry monk who couldn't eat. ”

Just when Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen were chatting about Lao Wang, suddenly a hotel guy who went out to buy vegetables in front of the door passed by the tea stall and said to Xiao Zheng: "Xiao patrol, the second tiger in the south and Liu Laosan have stood up again, and the second tiger has blocked Liu Laosan's door, you better go over and have a look." ”

Xiao Zheng waved his hand at the guy with a gloomy face, and then put the tea on the table. Turned to Qin Wen and said, "Sit and rest for a while, it won't make people worry, let's go, let's go and have a look." Lao Wang, the tea money is on the table for you. As he spoke, he slapped a small piece of loose silver on the table, turned around and left the teahouse.

Lao Wang hurriedly ran to the table and picked up the silver and chased after him, and said, "Master Xiao." The small one can ask for your money, and you can take it back. But he spoke. Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen have already gone far.

Xiao Zheng said to Qin Wen as he walked at this time: "On this street, although there are many monks who come and go, most of the people who open shops and do business are honest people, and nothing usually happens, only this Erhu and Liu Laosan, who opened an inn, will make some trouble after a while." ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Who is this Second Tiger, and how can he have a grudge against the one who opened the inn?"

Xiao Zheng said casually: "Erhu, this kid only followed his father to the City of Expulsion three years ago. At that time, his father was also a master of the Xuan Masters, but he didn't expect that two days after he came to the city of expulsion, he suddenly died violently in the inn opened by Liu Laosan, of course Erhu was unwilling, so he said that Liu Laosan wanted to kill for money. I was the one who handled this at the time?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Did the father of the second tiger kill Liu Laosan?"

Xiao Zheng spread his hands and said: "So many people died in this expulsion city in one day, and the monks all died under the Yuan Qi Flying Sword, in the end, whether the father of the second tiger was killed by Liu Laosan, who can investigate clearly?"

Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then how did Zuihou deal with it?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly and said: "I don't think Liu Laosan did this matter, even if Liu Laosan killed Erhu's father for money, then why didn't he kill Erhu together, so as not to leave any future troubles in the future, of course, Liu Laosan is also willing to bury Erhu's father in order to calm things down, and compensate Erhu for hundreds of spirit stones." ”

But Erhu didn't agree, he had to ask Liu Laosan to compensate his father's life, and he kept making trouble like this in Liu Laosan's inn, and in the end, even the Lu team was alarmed, and he didn't find a solution. ”

Qin Wen pondered for a moment, and said with some doubts: "At that time, Erhu had only been here for a few days, and he was not familiar with life here, it was not easy for Liu Laosan to clean him up, how could he delay this matter until now?"

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said: "You listen to me first, everyone was like you thought at that time, but during the day, Liu Laosan couldn't do it, and everyone persuaded Erhu to let him leave here, otherwise, it would be much more convenient for Liu Laosan to attack him again at night, even if Erhu's father was not killed by Liu Laosan, in order to avoid trouble, Liu Laosan would not leave Erhu." ”

But in the evening, things suddenly changed, and Erhu was taken away by Huang Wuye, this time Liu Laosan was a little panicked, and hurriedly went back to discuss with his owner Ji Ye. ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but ask, "Who are Huang Wuye and Ji Ye?"

Xiao Zheng whispered a little cautiously: "In this East City, you must be careful when mentioning the names of these two people, Huang Wuye and Ji Ye are both famous monks in this East City, it is said that their cultivation has reached the upper level of the spirit priest, and they also have some industries in the East City, like Liu Laosan's inn, the real owner is Ji Ye." ”

"The relationship between these upper classes, we don't understand, looking at the meeting on the street or in the restaurant today is still smiling, maybe tomorrow someone will stab each other in the back, anyway, they are all fighting for the interests of the city of expulsion, we can't afford to provoke these people, I will give you some guidance when I see them on the street in two days, don't cause any trouble when the time comes." ”

Qin Wen nodded and agreed, and Xiao Zheng continued: "After these two tigers were taken away by Huang Wuye, I don't know why, they actually worshiped Huang Wuye as their father-in-law, and then Liu Laosan panicked, and the next day Erhu carried his father's coffin to the door of Liu Laosan's inn and blocked Liu Laosan's door. ”

"Liu Laosan is the old man who followed Ji Ye, there was such a big thing, Ji Ye had to send someone to deal with it, Erhu asked Liu Laosan's inn as compensation, and asked Liu Laosan to compensate his father's life, this condition was Ji Ye could not agree, because Erhu had Huang Wuye's support behind him, so he had to endure it for the time being, and closed the inn first. ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "It's not a solution for this inn to close down, it always has to solve the problem." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "This is also Ji Ye's strategy to delay the army, first cool down this matter, on the one hand, find a middleman to discuss with Huang Wuye how to deal with it, on the other hand, also look at the status of the second tiger in Huang Wuye's heart, if Huang Wuye can relax the conditions, Ji Ye will naturally agree." ”

"Besides, if Huang Wuye accepts Erhu as his righteous son, it is an impulse for a while, and after a while, if Erhu's status in Huangfu declines, it is not too late to find a suitable opportunity to get rid of him. ”

"But now it seems that Ji Ye's method is a bit wrong, on the one hand, Huang Wuye didn't go to talk to Ji Ye about this matter at all, I heard Lu Team Zheng say, even if the middleman saw Huang Wuye, he just pushed and let Erhu deal with this matter himself, on the other hand, Erhu is now a fierce general in the hands of Huang Wuye, and his status in the Huang Mansion is getting higher and higher, and he also took people out of the city to do things some time ago. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng sighed slightly and said: "This is a bitter thing for us monks who patrol the defense, although the coffin of Erhu and his father has been put into the ground, but as long as he is in the city of expulsion, he will definitely come to the inn to make a fuss, every time Liu Laosan sees him, he closes the door and goes to Ji Ye to complain, let's watch from the neighborhood and don't cause other unnecessary rights and wrongs." ”

Qin Wen nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that this patrol monk is not easy to do, both sides are people who cannot be provoked, and they have to maintain order in the middle, but now they don't care, just follow Xiao Zheng and see how he handles it.

The two of them had come to the vicinity of Liu Laosan's inn while talking, Qin Wen heard a loud scolding sound in the distance, and there were a few people next to him to help him, Qin Wen and the two walked to a restaurant opposite the inn, Xiao Zheng took his steps, and the crowd of onlookers was not much, most of them were some neighbors nearby, discussing in a low voice, while doing the work in hand, it seemed that they had become accustomed to it.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen in front of his house, and knew that they must be maintaining law and order here, so he hurriedly asked the man to move out a stool, let Xiao Zheng and Qin Wen sit down first, and then asked, "Brother Xiao, can I ask the man to bring you some tea?"

Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said, "I just drank tea at the entrance of the street, how long has Erhu been scolding here?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "I should have come here before I got up early this morning, and I almost blocked Lao Liu in the house. ”

Xiao Zheng turned to Qin Wen at this time and said: "Let's sit here today, Erhu, this kid has to scold for a day every time he comes, this kid has an idea in his heart, he knows that even if he has Huang Wuye's support now, he may not be able to take the inn, and he is unwilling, every time he comes, he scolds here, scolds until he cries again at night, and then goes back."
