Chapter 67
Baibao Pavilion is not far from Huamanlou, the two of them walked out of the restaurant for a while and came to the door of Baibao Pavilion, the Baibao Pavilion here is different from the Baibao Pavilion in Chongxu Mountain. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion in front of you occupies a huge area, the decoration is magnificent, people come and go, and there are many booths with all kinds of treasures as far as the eye can see, which is extremely luxurious.
Liu Hao and Su Wufeng entered the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and waited for a long time but no one came to entertain them, although the store had experienced a robbery not long ago, but it did not affect the business of the store at all.
Liu Hao could only take the initiative to talk to the clerk, his eyes patrolled the store, and he saw that the clerks were introducing the goods to the customers in front of the counter, Liu Hao walked to the nearest clerk, and the clerk was holding a bottle of pill to introduce to the customer: "You can take a look at this bottle of pill, this is the work of Master Mu Yuan, the master of Dandao, and it is a second-grade high-grade pill carefully developed by him." It is called Yunxin Dan, which has the effect of warming and nourishing the soul and improving the strength of the soul. It can be said that it is a rare elixir that can improve the soul, and there are only the last two bottles of this elixir, if you miss it, you will not have it. ”
The ascension of the divine soul has always been the most difficult, listening to the introduction of the clerk, Su Wufang was a little moved, and before he could continue to be moved, he was extinguished by the price that the clerk said.
The clerk continued: "As long as you buy it now, we can still give you a nine-percent discount, only forty-five spirit jades, which is a full five spirit jades cheaper than the original." ”
When he heard that he needed forty-five spirit jades, Su Wufang thought about buying this elixir, and he won the ring by fighting to the death, and the result was that the reward was equal to this bottle of elixir, at this time, he suddenly thought of a question, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, how much is a three-grade magic sword?"
Liu Hao didn't know why Su Wufang suddenly asked this, but he still replied: "Generally, a three-grade magic sword is priceless, and if you really want to calculate it, it is probably equal to two or three parts of the spiritual essence." ”
Hearing Liu Hao's answer, Su Wufang instantly felt extremely uncomfortable, he didn't promise her the magic sword that Liu Qingyue promised to give him three grades, but he sold himself because of fifty spirit jade, why was he so stupid.
Liu Hao didn't pay attention to Su Wufang when he saw that there were no follow-up questions, and after the clerk finished the transaction here, he asked, "I'm going to find your shopkeeper." ”
The clerk glanced at Liu Hao and asked, "This guest, what are you looking for our shopkeeper, he is busy now, it is not convenient to meet customers." ”
Liu Hao said: "We came down from the head office to investigate the robbery some time ago. ”
When the clerk heard that it was the person from the head office, he suddenly became extremely respectful: "Two inside, please." ”
As he spoke, he led the two of them to the back, walked through the hall and through a courtyard to the door of a room, and the clerk said, "You two are waiting at the door for me to go and report to the shopkeeper." ”
After speaking, the clerk pushed the door and entered the room, leaving Liu Hao and Su Wuflaw, Su Wuflawless asked, "Senior brother, since we already have some doubts, where should we start?" ”
Liu Hao put his finger to his mouth and gestured: "Shhh, let's keep quiet and wait and see." ”
After a while, the clerk came out with a middle-aged man, the man looked at Liu Hao with a smile on his face and a little flattery, and when the two met each other, the man sped up his pace and overtook the store in front of him, and greeted him warmly.
The man bowed his hand slightly to Liu Hao and said, "I am Lu Qian, the shopkeeper of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in Yunming Market, you are from the head office, we are discussing, come in." ”
Lu Qian took the two of them to the house, this is a small living room, there are already two people sitting in it, these two people are the guardians of the Baibao Pavilion, and they are also the guests of the Baibao Pavilion.
Lu Qian pointed to Liu Hao and took the lead in introducing it: "This is the person from the head office who came to investigate this matter. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and he didn't know what Liu Hao's name was, Liu Hao took over and said, "My name is Liu Hao, and I'm here to investigate the robbery of the Baibao Pavilion." ”
After that, Lu Qian continued to introduce it, and after some understanding, he knew that one of the two guards was named Deng Yu, and the other was named Luo Feiyang.
Luo Feiyang and Deng Yu are different from Lu Qian, and they are quite indifferent to Liu Hao and the others, and even Luo Feiyang muttered without hesitation: "Heh, two little children who don't have the same hair." ”
Hearing this, Liu Hao and Su Wufang's faces suddenly fell, and Lu Qian, who was on the side, beckoned the clerk to move the stool for the two of them to sit as if he hadn't heard anything.
Seeing that Lu Qian's faces were a little better, and after a while, the clerk moved two chairs back to the room, and Lu Qian kept saying to the corner of the room: "Just put it." ”
That position is the most corner of the room, and generally the people who sit in this position in a room are most likely juniors, or their status is lower than that of everyone else in the room, so they will sit in the far corner of the room.
Seeing that Lu Qian's behavior and the emotions that the two had just eased were ignited again, Su Wuxian could see that the three people in this room were extremely unkind to their senior brothers, and even Lu Qian, who was extremely enthusiastic on the surface, regarded the two of them as people with a lower status than them in his heart, otherwise he would not have let the two of them sit in such a position.
If it's only him, it's okay, after all, he is indeed the junior of the three people in the house, but there is still Liu Hao. And the two of them represent Liu Qingyue, Lu Qian's behavior is really extremely contemptuous.
Su Wufang wanted to say something, but he saw Liu Hao wink at him, and then he came to the chair in the corner of the room and sat down, seeing Liu Hao behaving like this, Su Wufang could only suppress his temper and sit on the chair.
Seeing the two of them sitting honestly on the chairs, Lu Qian showed a hint of a smile, and Deng Yu and Luo Feiyang on the side snorted directly and sarcastically.
After that, they didn't care about the two people sitting on the side, and discussed on their own, Lu Qian took the lead in speaking: "The two guards of the building, there is an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of the treasure this time." As the two of them, how could they let the thieves break into the building. ”
Luo Feiyang took the lead in retorting: "Lu Qian, what you said is unreasonable, this thief has entered the formation like entering a no-man's land. It must have been planned for a long time, and this was done when I was not in the building, how can I be blamed for this. Besides, I happened to be resting that day. ”
Deng Yu was not happy when he heard Luo Feiyang's words: "Luo Feiyang, what do you mean by this." You had a day off, so you blame me for not keeping it right. That day, I was escorting the newly arrived treasure outside the market, why didn't you and Lu Qian stop the thief in the market. ”
Lu Qian still said with a smile on his face when he saw that the war had burned on him: "Deng Hulou, Luo Hulou, there is no point in talking about this now." Now it's important to recover the treasure, not to discuss whose responsibility it is. ”
Luo Feiyang nodded and said, "Now that the treasures have been stolen, we have no clues, how can we find the treasures." ”
Lu Qian smiled slightly: "Isn't there still someone from our head office, they came to investigate this matter this time, where are the people from the head office worrying about us." That's right, Liu Shaoxia, Su Shaoxia. ”
Su Wufang didn't expect Lu Qian to kick his temper to his side again, the three of them seemed to be arguing, but they were actually ready to put the blame on themselves and Liu Hao. If they don't take this matter, then Lu Qian can isolate them from this matter, and if they take Lu Qian, they can justifiably leave the task of recovering the treasure to them.
If they find it, it's fine, but if they don't, it can be said that they insisted on intervening and delayed the opportunity. And according to the previous inference, this matter is likely to be internal and external collusion, and at present, this Lu Qian is very suspicious.
Su Wufang looked at Liu Hao without speaking, ready to see how Liu Hao handled this matter. Liu Hao on the side didn't answer at all, and even took a sip of wine.
Lu Qian waited for a long time and didn't see Liu Hao answer, so he could only ask again: "Liu Shaoxia, how are you going to retrieve the treasure." ”
Lu Qian's words meant that he had already dumped this matter to Liu Hao, and Liu Hao frowned at this time and said: "It's none of my business, I'm here to catch the ghost." You can solve the problem of finding treasures by yourself, and whoever contributes less will report to the head office as an inner ghost. I don't care about anything else. ”
As soon as Liu Hao's words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed instantly, and even Su Wufang didn't expect Liu Hao to say it directly, but after thinking about it, it was also a way to deal with it, and in the case that the three people in front of him had obviously made up their minds to work and couldn't do anything, this was a good move.
Lu Qian's face changed slightly, and then he adjusted again, and said to Liu Hao with a smile: "Liu Shaoxia said that he laughed, everyone here has been working in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion for many years, how can there be internal ghosts." ”
Liu Hao said indifferently: "Who knows, I think you are quite similar." ”
Lu Qian was choked by Liu Hao's words and couldn't answer, so he could only laugh dryly and said: "How can I be an internal ghost, Liu Shaoxia said and laughed, said and laughed." ”
Luo Feiyang on the side couldn't help it, and stood up suddenly: "A junior who has only been cultivating for a few years dares to make a big deal here, our Baibao Pavilion in Yunming City has always been trusted by the head office, as soon as you say that there are internal ghosts, there are internal ghosts." I think you're still like an inner ghost. ”
Lu Qian hurriedly said: "Luo Hulou dissipates his anger, Liu Shaoxia doesn't know the situation of our Mingcheng Hundred Treasure Pavilion, which is understandable." ”
Liu Hao looked at the three people in front of him and was full of disdain, these three people must have problems, and when he said that he wanted to check the ghosts, the reaction was bigger than the other.
Liu Hao stood up, straightened his clothes, and said lightly: "Let's sort out the account books like this first, I'll start by checking the accounts, and don't forget to go and find the treasures." The junior brother is gone. ”
After saying that, Liu Hao took the lead in walking outside the house, and Su Wufang followed Liu Hao and left the room, leaving only Lu Qian and the three of them.
After Liu Hao and Su Wufang completely left the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, the three people in the room all sat in their positions without saying a word, and they didn't look like they were just going toe-for-tat.
Deng Yu asked nervously: "Shopkeeper Lu, what should I do?" Over the years, a few of us have taken a lot and made a lot of false accounts. If this is checked, it will be over. ”
Lu Qian said with a gloomy face: "What are you panicking, there are so many account books over the years, he wants to find out the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse." And that's not the point, the important thing is that if you lose something, you will be happy if you find it, if you can't find it. That is to lose the face of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and no one will dare to trade things in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the future, which is really important. When the time comes, the head office will blame the kid and he will definitely find a scapegoat, and the three of us won't be able to escape. ”
Deng Yu nodded, and the three of them were at an impasse for a while.
On the other side, Su Wuxian remembered another thing and asked suspiciously: "Senior brother, those three people are obviously also cultivating in the late stage of Qi cultivation, why do they call you junior." ”
Liu Hao heard Su Wufang's words and set off a huge wave in his heart, he has been using spells to hide his cultivation, as long as the soul is lower than himself, all he sees is that he only has the initial cultivation of Qi cultivation, but he is still the original cultivation in Su Wufang's eyes, which means that Su Wufang's soul is the worst and he is also in the middle of the match.
Although he was quite shocked in his heart, he knew this kind of thing, so there was no need to do it, so he replied casually: "I hid my cultivation." ”
"That's right. Su Wufang understood the reason, smiled at Liu Hao and said, "Senior brother, we've already laid grass, so are we going to monitor these three startling snakes next?" ”
Liu Hao also smiled slightly: "That's right." ”
