Genbo Town, outside the Erniang Inn, the shopkeeper leaned listlessly against the door, yawning, "Strange, why haven't there been any guests recently?"

Since about a year ago, a large number of people from the Central Plains have poured into Beiwulin every day, but in recent days, there have been fewer and fewer people coming and going to Beiwulin, so the business of Erniang Inn is not as good as usual.

All of a sudden, from being very busy, to being so idle that he is about to attract flies, the shopkeeper is really a little uncomfortable.

There are those who are idle and uncomfortable, and naturally there are also those who applaud, such as the little shopkeeper of the inn, Yu Laosi.

Since there was no business at the inn, he finally had enough time to sort out the information he had monitored and obtained for more than a year.

In the underground secret room in the backyard of the inn, Yu Laosi carefully read the intelligence file,

"The people who have entered the rivers and lakes of Beiwulin for more than a year are really most of the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, stinky fish and rotten shrimp, but..."Yu Laosi tore off one of the pages on the file, his expression was slightly solemn, "Only this group of people, their identities are still unknown." ”

The page of the file in Yu Laosi's hand was not a person, but a group of people.

That day, Yu Laosi was the same as usual, he seemed to be fiddling with an abacus in front of the counter of the inn, but he was actually observing the people who entered the inn.

At that time, a person passed by the door of the inn, and most of the people in the town knew each other, so when he saw the group, he judged that they were very likely to be from the Middle Plains, and the shopkeeper who was about to walk forward had not said half a word, and was forced to retreat by one of them with "eyes".

Originally, Yu Laosi also wanted to tell Deng Fei about this, hoping that he could use his identity as the mayor of Genbo Town to find the "trouble" of this group of people, so as to obtain some information about the identity of this group.

Unfortunately, these men of unknown origin did not stay in the town of Genbo at all, and the men who were sent to follow them were also brutally killed outside the town.

"Who the hell are those guys?"

For some reason, Yu Laosi suddenly had an uneasy feeling in his heart today, as if he was about to face a catastrophe.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the secret door being opened not far from the secret room, and Yu Laosi said strangely, "Someone has come in? Deng Fei and Fang Lu?

In the dark passage, there was a steady footstep, but Yu Laosi's face gradually became difficult to look at, this was not like the sound that Deng Fei and Fang Lu would make when they walked.

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and Yu Laosi was puzzled, and a black rumbling spherical object rolled to his feet.

The panicked eyes of the shopkeeper before he died, accompanied by the "blood tears" left from the corners of his eyes, "looked" at Yu Laosi directly.

——————————————————————————————————

Also uneasy is Deng Fei.

When I woke up this morning, one of my subordinates told me that the three loaches he had raised had died inexplicably.

Not long afterward, another of his men informed him that the plaque at the gate of the town had been blown off the ground and broken in two, apparently because of the strong wind.

One after another, Deng Fei felt a sense of foreboding, as if he was about to face a catastrophe.

"Report, the mayor of the town, the shopkeeper of the Erniang Inn asks to see you!"

"Let him come in!" Deng Fei hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring people in, and at the same time said secretly in his heart, "Normally, if Xiucai wants to contact me about something, he usually won't send the shopkeeper to come in person, but this time it's so abnormal, could it be that something happened?"

Outside the door, the inn's shopkeeper covered his chest and walked in with the support of Deng Fei's men.

As expected, when Deng Fei saw the blood on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, he knew that his ominous feeling came true.

"Mayor Mare's not good, a group of black-clad killers have entered the underground secret room behind the inn and will.... Kill the little shopkeeper!" the shopkeeper cried with grief.

"You.... What are you talking about?" Deng Fei wondered if he had heard it wrong, Xiucai died? In a panic, he heard the shopkeeper say again, "Mayor Town, you just go and wait for him first!"

"Gee, I've been so bored lately. "Genbo Town is second to none, and he is also the only master in the town, Fang Lu, who walks in the town with nothing to do.

"Before leaving, Erniang told us that once she found clues about the tower king, she would write back to inform us, but after so many days, why is there no news at all?"

A group of vendors on the side of the street were setting up stalls selling food and some cheap and practical daily necessities, except for one stall that sold nothing, except for an old man with a white beard with three locks of white beard.

"Huh?" Fang Lu, who was wandering around, stopped and squinted at the old man.

"This friend, why is he looking at the old man?" the old man's eyes opened slightly, and the white-bearded old man also looked at Fang Lu and asked softly.

"Hmph, old man, your beard is well trimmed. There was a slight hint of hostility in Fang Lu's words.

The white-bearded old man laughed and pinched his beard quite proudly, "My beard is trimmed with family heirlooms, and I can't hide it, the ancestors of the old family are the 'Hu Xiu' family." ”

Fang Lu raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "There is still a family that cultivates beards?"

"There's also an associate professor in the shower. The white-bearded old man complained, "I see that Your Excellency's beard is not badly trimmed, but there is still a trace of flaw, if you don't give up, would you like to let the old man and me retouch it for Your Excellency?"

"You said my beard is flawed?" Fang Lu was a little displeased, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Okay, I want to see what you are capable of as a 'family'." ”

With that, Fang Lu strode towards the stall where the white-bearded old man was.

The old man immediately stood up and gave up his seat to Fang Lu, "Your Excellency, please take a seat." ”

Fang Lu snorted coldly, sat down on the chair, closed his eyes, tilted his head back slightly, and said, "Old man, please." ”

The white-bearded old man held a cold knife and slowly stretched it out towards Fang Lu's neck.

Just an inch away from his neck, the white-bearded old man stopped.

"When did I show my flaws. The old man's originally old voice, which was now low and magnetic, looked at the Hidden Blade against his abdomen and asked.

"You're well disguised, so to speak, flawless. Fang Lu's words changed, "But there is one detail that you haven't handled well." ”

"What details?"

"When I decided to ask you to groom my beard and came up to you, you reacted too quickly. ”

The white-bearded old man was puzzled, "Is there any problem?"

"The problem is huge, with my pace and pace at the time, it is impossible for an old man with gray hair to react instantly, and you not only reacted, but even got up from your seat with more speed than I did, this detail is enough to prove that your identity is a disguise. ”

"I see, I was careless. ”

"If this detail is your flaw, then you have another flaw that makes me doubt your identity. ”

"I still have a mistake?" The white-bearded old man's face was a little gloomy, he didn't expect his disguise to have so many flaws.

Fang Lu put away the Hidden Blade against the white-bearded old man's abdomen, stood up, and said to him proudly, "When you say that my beard has a trace of flaw, I will know that you are definitely not a 'Hu Xiu' family, because my beard is flawless!"
