Chapter 22: Giving Advice
"This is good, it melts in your mouth, and that taste is amazing!"
"Well, you have to eat more snow lotus gel soup with Liuli and Xinyan, and beautify your beauty! Hey, Jingyang, you're welcome? Why don't you eat a bite?"
"Wow, no, this peak is too powerful!"
"Bao, that's enough, you can't take away the whole plate, didn't you eat so much just now?"
With Xiao Jingyang's remorseful and angry eyes as a side dish, the three of them ate even more fragrantly, Aochen couldn't stop falling into the well, eating a bite and boasting, Xiao Jingyang touched his swollen stomach that couldn't be swollen anymore, and watched Aochen use food and language to bully him, but he couldn't do anything, and the two girls couldn't help laughing when they heard it, and laughed heartily.
"Chirp, squeak——!"
The little belly was round, lying in Liuli's arms, but he refused to be quiet, his front paws pointed at Xiao Jingyang and kept shouting, although the two girls couldn't understand, but based on Bao's expression and movements, it shouldn't be a good thing.
"Ah Bao is saying that Jingyang, you are not as good as it when you drink, and you are not as good as it when you eat now, and you don't call it Bao Ye in the future, are you embarrassed?"
Aochen's translated words were like a sword inserted into Xiao Jingyang's chest, and this sword was still the kind with a barb, and it was desperately stirred after inserting it.
Ignoring Xiao Jingyang's complaining eyes, Aochen looked at the two girls and asked softly, "Have you all eaten?"
The reason why Aochen asked this is because everyone's physique is different, and the absorption of the medicinal properties of various medicinal diets is also different, although the medicinal diet just now is good, but after all, it is not cooked for their physique, if the medicinal properties are too strong or not suitable, they need to breathe for a while.
"No, these medicinal diets are nothing, let's talk about what to do next, shall we?"
Ning Xinyan shook her head slightly, and said softly, I don't know how much I have eaten this kind of thing since I was a child, and it is nothing at all, let alone Liuli.
"Of course, you have to ask the head snake about Hongcheng, and you will know where to start when you ask clearly!"
Aochen nodded after listening to Ning Xinyan's words, and said slowly, secretly saying in his heart It seems that their family background is better than I imagined, and they don't blush or pant after eating so many good things.
"Who's the snake?"
When Liuli first entered the rivers and lakes, she didn't understand what Aochen said about the head snake, and she thought it was someone's nickname.
"Mazi is talking about the second shopkeeper, some local gangsters or something, these know the most about local things!"
Seeing that everyone started to talk about business, Xiao Jingyang stopped sitting there and pretended to be a corpse, and opened his mouth to help Aochen explain.
"Little second brother!"
Aochen saw that Xiao Jingyang was able to understand at one point, so he didn't say anything anymore, and directly called the shopkeeper.
"Childe, do you need anything?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a towel draped over his shoulders and a rather clever man came in and asked everyone with a smile, it seemed that he had been waiting outside, otherwise he would not have come so quickly.
Aochen waved his hand, and at the same time got up and asked, "It's nothing, it's just that when I first entered the city, I saw that the city gate was heavily inspected, and I wanted to ask what was going on?"
For Aochen, no matter who the other party is, standing and talking to the other party is a must-have respect.
"This ......"
After listening to the words, the shopkeeper looked a little hesitant, wanting to say but not daring to say it, but in fact, this expression was just asking for a message fee.
"Don't worry, we don't have malicious intentions, we're just curious!"
Aochen took out a small ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said calmly, although he is also a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, but he has heard so many stories about the rivers and lakes since he was a child, how can he not understand this.
"Thank you Gongzi reward, here's the thing, just a few months ago, I don't know who flowed out of the hand of a few treasure maps, the location is the Hong family's long house Hong Yinfeng's tomb that has been dead for more than 20 years, at first everyone didn't believe it, but later some people in the city began to spread that Hong Yinfeng brought a treasure to the funeral after his death, and it was also said that he faked his death at all, and buried a large number of treasures in the sea in case the Hong family needs it in the future, because when Hong Yinfeng was buried, no outsiders saw it, so there were more people who believed, and now there are three religions and nine streams in HongchengThere are people from all over the world, and even several groups of people robbed the tomb in the middle of the night, but they were repelled by the people guarding the tomb of the Hong family. ”
The shopkeeper accepted the money, and saw that Aochen didn't look like a bad person, anyway, this matter was well known in Hongcheng, and no one would pursue it, so he told Aochen endlessly.
"What about the Hong family, didn't you come forward to explain anything?"
Xiao Jingyang frowned, the other party actually made a fuss about Hong Yinfeng's death, and said that it was clear-sighted, these people's martial arts are not concerned for the time being, the most troublesome thing is that they are all idlers, and some of them are consuming time and the Hong family, if they live in Hongcheng for a year and a half, doing nothing will be enough for the Hong family to have a headache.
"How can there be no explanation? But the more you explain, the more you feel that it is really true, the Hong family can't really dig up Hong Yinfeng's grave for everyone to see, right? In the past few months, people have been robbing tombs every few days, and there are not a few casualties on both sides, and it is obvious that there are more and more people from all walks of life in the city recently. ”
The shopkeeper listened to the conversations of people from all walks of life in the store every day, and he knew the most detailed, and under the lure of Aochen, he immediately told everything he knew.
"I see, I see! Thank you!"
"Then it's okay for the little one to go down?"
After the shopkeeper left, Aochen looked at everyone and asked: "Obviously, they are all rumors, and the attraction is the greedy and forgetful, if this thing is true, the hostile forces of the Hong family would have already started, how can it be spread so widely? It is not the turn of these idle people to wait!"
Ning Xinyan listened to the words and asked puzzledly: "But why does the other party hold on to Hong Yinfeng's grave? Even if Hong Yinfeng makes people dig up the grave, what good does the other party have? If you want to target the Hong family headquarters, right?"
Xiao Jingyang said in shock: "The helmsman of the Hong family, Mazi, our guess is correct, the other party really hit the east and the west! If the grave of the Hong family's deceased long house is dug up, then what face will the Hong family have in the future? This is a conspiracy, the other party is planning to attract all the masters of the Hong family to Hong Yinfeng's grave, and then they themselves take the opportunity to sneak into the Hong family's headquarters to steal, or some other purpose. ”
"It should be like this, that's right! In this way, the Hong family can't kill him, otherwise there will be more and more people who believe in the treasure map!"
Aochen nodded, agreeing with Xiao Jingyang's words, but even if he guessed, it was useless, those who were obsessed with money would not believe these at all, unless they could see with their own eyes that there was no treasure in the grave or that the conspirators behind the scenes were caught.
"Mazi, this matter is a bit prickly, the other party has been hiding and not showing up, and he has been stirring up the matter with all his might, and in the end, the Hong family would rather be a killer than even simply clear the city and not compromise!"
Xiao Jingyang said a little angry, he hates this kind of hiding in the dark and tricking people, if he is caught, he must be dismantled, and in order to achieve his own goal, he actually pulls in so many ignorant and greedy people.
"Those who are not greedy enough will die when they die, and the world is calmer without this kind of people, as for the people you want to find out behind the scenes, I have a good way. ”
Aochen said lightly, with a slight hint of indifference in his speech, which was completely different from his usual peaceful attitude.
"You're so cold-blooded? That's a living person, huh, what can you do to find out what's behind the scenes?"
Xiao Jingyang never thought that Aochen would say such cold-blooded words, he always thought that Aochen should be a soft-hearted person, but he was very curious about what Aochen said.
Aochen didn't feel that what he said was cold-blooded, and everyone should pay for their greed, and asked Xiao Jingyang instead: "Since they dare to do it, then they must be prepared to pay the price, they can't dig people's graves, and after being caught, they will say I don't know, they are deceived by others, forget it?"
Xiao Jingyang didn't want to talk to Aochen about this, he just wanted to know what way to catch the people behind the scenes, so he compromised: "Yes, yes, you're right! Don't talk about this, tell me about your method?"
"It's very simple, prescribe the right medicine! Since they believe in the rumors, just make up an ending for them! If there are no people who are three religions and nine people making trouble, the guys who are secretly playing conspiracies can't do anything, and they will set up such a conspiracy that is not on the table, and they shouldn't be any capable people, but this is just an expedient measure, and if you don't know what they want, you can't lead them out!"
Aochen never felt that it was difficult to stop this conspiracy, all he thought about was how to find out this guy who could only play three bad tricks behind the scenes, this kind of person should not live in the world, destroy this beautiful world, and make people disgusting.
"Prescribe the right medicine? Make up the ending? Yes, why didn't I think of such a simple method? If we can't catch the murderer behind the scenes, can't the Hong family just get someone to play it themselves? Can the conspirators behind the scenes still stand up stupidly to expose the fake murderer? How can there be a saying? Dumb people eat coptis!"
Xiao Jingyang immediately understood what Aochen meant, and slapped his palm with a fan, annoyed why he hadn't come up with this solution earlier, and after following Mazi for a long time, it seemed that he was getting more and more stupid.
"It's not that you didn't think of it, but you're actually thinking about how to catch that shady guy in your heart!"
Aochen looked at Xiao Jingyang and said lightly, but the two girls on the side listened to it in a fog, and they couldn't keep up with the two people's train of thought.
Liuli puffed out her mouth and said with great dissatisfaction: "You explain it plainly, I don't understand!"
Xiao Jingyang saw that he and Aochen had ignored the two daughters, and hurriedly explained: "Mazi is saying that he will find someone to play a scene at will, and let the Hong family be caught as the conspirators behind the scenes, so that those who are bent on robbing the tomb will disperse!"
Liuli didn't like Aochen's method very much, and hurriedly shook her head and objected: "Ah? So we don't have a chance to come forward to be a chivalrous girl? No, then I didn't come for nothing? Thinking about it again, why do you want me to catch that villain?"
