Chapter 167: He Didn't Come Back Either
After Li Lanxin finished speaking, it seemed that even she believed this inference, bowed her head slightly, and looked at Liu Yuan with a determined face.
Looking at the shopkeeper's speechless and dumbfounded expression, Li Lanxin slapped her face and said, "Wow, I was really guessed correctly by this girl!"
What is it, Liu Yuan thought with a smile, and in the face of the puzzled eyes of the two Dan Tang sisters, Liu Yuan quickly shook his head and denied: "No." Don't guess, go to bed. ”
Then he found that his tone seemed to be too weak, coughed twice and glared and said, "Do you dare to take care of me as a shopkeeper?"
The two had a conversation, and Zheng Dongxi was overjoyed to hear it, and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.
As for where Liu Yuan went, in fact, Zheng Shiwu was not curious at all, the reason why he hadn't slept was just to wait for the shopkeeper to come back and guard the door.
It's just that as soon as they found out that Liu Yuan hadn't come back so late, everyone was worried and curious, so they didn't sleep anymore, and waited around the table.
"Hey, why can't I ask. Li Lanxin was obviously not frightened by Liu Yuan's actions, and looked up at the shopkeeper slightly, with a pair of big round eyes that were bigger than Liu Yuan's.
After saying that, Liu Yuan also knew that there was no explanation for this matter, and it was impossible to tell the truth.
So after speaking, Liu Yuan turned around and slipped up the stairs directly, leaving a few people in the lobby You look at me, I look at you.
"The shopkeeper must have a secret!" Li Lanxin walked back to the table and sat down, patted the table and said.
Hearing this, Qi Qi rolled his eyes, Miss Li is not talking nonsense.
"Why didn't you react at all?" Li Lanxin said after looking around.
"It's good to come back, I'm not curious where the shopkeeper has gone. Zheng Dongxi shrugged his shoulders and said.
"You ......" Li Lan was speechless and looked at Dan Tangerine, who knew that the two sisters nodded at the same time, obviously agreeing with Zheng Dongxi's words.
"Sleep, sleep. Li Lanxin was at a loss, waved her hand irritably, got up and walked upstairs.
But just when Li Lanxin walked to the staircase, she suddenly turned around: "No, there is still someone who hasn't come back tonight." ”
"Yang Xianzhi!" The four of them looked at each other and blurted out, the guest who came to stay overnight.
"Hey, that's weird. Li Lanxin shook her head and said, "It seems that he is not bad for money, and he will not come back after giving the accommodation fee." ”
Guests want to stay and live, they don't have the right to ask, but they are a little surprised for a while, thinking that the guest is happy to chat with a friend, so stay at a friend's house.
In such a short period of time, it can't be an accident, let's talk about it tomorrow, and a few people dispersed.
Tonight, it's hard for Zheng to do things, and I have to continue to look at the door, but I can't help that one came back in the middle of the night.
But tonight is destined to be that no one can sleep peacefully.
Jin Datong's long howl before he died, the purpose of which was to beat the helper, naturally he had enough strength, and the sound penetration was so strong that it spread a few blocks in the silent night.
Just when the mysterious two left less than a cup of tea, the team on duty on the night patrol hurried over.
One of them stepped forward and knocked on the door with a heavy heart, "My lord, are you there?" Because of Lin Dingyang's incident during the day yesterday, all of them all knew who lived in this house.
shouted several times in a row, but there was no reaction in the room, and everyone had a bad premonition.
The leader tonight, that is, the one who broke the door, immediately sent someone to inform the yamen and the county master, and he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Knock this door open with me." ”
After that, the fifteen people present slammed into the gate with his three-two-one.
It's a pity that they don't have the ability to go high, and the gate is too strong, and everyone hit it more than ten times, and the bumping shoulders were sore, and the pain was so painful that they bared their teeth.
With a click, the door was finally knocked out of the crack, and the leader pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed it down.
The wooden bolt behind the door was immediately broken from it, and the crowd followed closely and scattered behind the door to search around.
After a short time, an exclamation came from the southwest direction of the house, and a dozen or so people quickly raised their knives and rushed towards that place.
When I stood in that courtyard and saw the corpses lying on the ground, the air froze for a moment.
His eyes were surprised, surprised, or frightened, and he didn't even dare to breathe for a while.
"Damn ......," the leader whispered, and stopped after half a step.
Take a few steps back and leave the five people to seal off the place, and let the rest of the people continue to search to see if there are any suspicious places in the house.
There was such a big event, a Xuan-level imperial envoy of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion died here, and it happened that he was patrolling the city again tonight, and he was trying to find a way to make up for it as much as possible.
After the few people left, the courtyard became quieter and quieter, and even the wind could be heard clearly.
The leader let out a long breath, and when he calmed down, he was not as scared as he began to be.
Even the Xuan-level imperial envoy died in his own residence, and he, an ordinary person who was just rough with his fists and feet, couldn't find suspicious characters, so it was a matter of course, and I thought those adults wouldn't embarrass him too much.
That is, in a quarter of an hour, the entire Qingchuan County was busy.
At the mouths of the long streets and alleys, groups of people can be seen passing by with torches, and the yamen and the defenders are dispatched at the same time.
Its level of attention is comparable to that of the heart-digging murderer at the beginning, and even surpasses it.
"Rampant, these remnants are simply rampant!" the county lord paced in the courtyard, his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said with a curse in his mouth, in fact, his heart was full of panic.
This Xuanjie did not die in the head-on battle to carry out the capture, but died in his own home.
If something like this happens, the above will inevitably ask him, the county master, although the prestige of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion is decreasing, he is still a tiger, how can he not be afraid.
"I've seen adults. An old man hung a small brown wooden box on his shoulder, ran in from outside in a panic, and bent down to salute the county lord.
"Go. Lord Xianbei pointed directly to the corpse and said.
"Eh. The old man agreed and went there, and took out his gloves and all kinds of tools from the little wooden box, which turned out to be a puppet.
Outside the door of the world's No. 1 inn, there was a knock on the door, not only to wake up Zheng Shi, who had just closed his eyes, but also Liu Yuan and a few people upstairs.
"Come on, don't knock, the door is broken for you. Zheng stuff hurriedly walked out of the backyard, not even getting dressed, and lit the candlestick on the table.
The door panel was removed, and before he could do anything, the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Yo, what happened to the military masters?" Zheng Dongxi looked out of the door and said in surprise, he thought it was Yang Xianzhi who was back.
"Who has been to the store in the last seven days, who is not from our county?" said the one in the middle.
At this moment, Liu Yuan and the others walked down the stairs, and Li Lanxin also said, "What's the matter?"
"The Lord of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion was killed in his own house tonight. The man on the right replied.
Everyone was shocked, and Zheng Dongxi subconsciously thought of the shopkeeper who had just come back from outside.
