Chapter 227: Grapevine
After beckoning a few people to sit down, Zhang Fatzi wiped his hands with a scarf and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, you can order whatever you want to eat, and I'll give you a 20% discount today!"
As soon as they heard that Zhang Fatzi gave them a 20% discount, several people were a little excited, and said that they would not be polite to Zhang Fatzi.
Of course, Zhang Fatzi was very happy, but when he saw that several people had brought new friends over this time, he asked curiously about the identity of Chi Lian.
Ni Tianwan introduced: "This is Sister Chilian, from Fantu. ”
For some reason, the originally deserted storefront was instantly full of vitality when I heard the word Fantu.
Although there were not many customers in the shop, almost everyone looked at Chilian and then whispered.
Looking at Zhang Fatzi's expression, several people also showed puzzled eyes, and then Zhang Fatzi explained to several people.
"Is the Red Refining girl right? Actually, everyone is not hostile to you, but now there is gossip that our country is preparing to start a war with Fantu, and many Fantu businessmen have rushed back overnight. ”
After listening to Zhang Fatzi's words, Chi Lian also said: "Although I am a fan of Fantu, I am not welcome in Fantu now, and I have long sworn allegiance to this country." ”
Looking at Chi Lian's determined gaze, Zhang Fatzi didn't say much, and after ordering the dishes, he returned to the kitchen to prepare meals for a few people.
A few people chatted and listened carefully to the words of the people around them.
"I heard that the husband didn't show up again after the second watch last night, which caused many people to get up late. ”
"Really, I was picking up a few brothers last night, and I was in the drunken fairy building next to the dog official Zhang Xuan, and I drank a lot of wine and slept without paying much attention to it, but ......"
"But what?"
"Get closer, so as not to be heard, last night on the way to drink, probably at the end of the day, I suddenly ran to the wall of Zhang Yan's dog official's house to facilitate it, and in a blur I saw several figures jumping into the dog official's house. ”
"It's because you're drunk and confused, or maybe it's a ghost!"
"Hey, don't scare me, my cold hair is upside down. ”
Soon the two moved on to other topics, and although they spoke quietly, it was completely difficult for the people in the rivers and lakes.
Several people looked at each other a few times, if what the person said was right, then the thief who killed Zhang Quan's family should have entered at Hai Shi.
At this time, several people found something from the conversation between the two people, and the husband had not appeared since the second watch, and several people speculated that the husband had died.
Bai Xinfan walked up to the two of them, bowed to them and asked, "Two brothers, can you ask about it?"
"What's the matter?"
"The husband you just mentioned should be a fellow villager of mine, and his mother asked me to bring him something, but I don't know where his house is. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Xinfan took out a jade pendant from his arms and said that this was what his wife gave him.
"In this way, the husband lives behind the dog official's house, and you enter from the alley next to the dog official's house, and the one at the end of the alley is it. ”
After nodding, Bai Xinfan continued to ask: "Thank you for this brother, but Brother Tai calls the dog official, aren't you afraid of being arrested?"
"Hey~ What are you afraid of, that dog official died last night, is he still going to drag me into the Netherworld?"
After a simple thank-you, Bai Xinfan returned to his position, and now that he knows the husband's home, the next step is to determine the life and death of the husband.
But now there is no hurry, Zhang Fatzi quickly served the food, and after Zhang Fatzi put down the last dish, several people stopped him.
Bai Jian pulled Zhang Fatzi to his side and asked, "By the way, you just said that our country is going to war with Fantu, where did you hear this?"
"Just the grapevine. Zhang Fatzi replied casually.
Then Ni Tianwan interjected again: "Is this gossip reliable? It can't be a rumor, right?"
Zhang Fatzi pondered and said: "I think it shouldn't be a rumor, you see, if it doesn't really start a war, then why are the merchants of Fantu rushing back?"
Several people fell into deep thought, and they all felt that Zhang Fatzi's words made some sense.
At this time, Bai Xinfan asked a more critical question: "Then do you know why the war started?"
"I really don't know this, there is a grapevine that His Majesty owes Fantu money and has not repaid it, and then Fantu comes to collect debts, but it is all unreliable gossip. ”
After Zhang Fatzi left, Ni Tian weakly held the chopsticks in his hand, and said angrily and quietly: "It's obvious that you owe us money!"
After learning more about Ni Tianqiao, it turned out that the previous king had borrowed a lot of silver from the country, but now the king suddenly denied it, and said that whoever he borrowed it from would ask for it.
"Fantu's strength has been growing in the past few years, and the imperial brother didn't ask them for it in order to avoid war between the two countries!"
Several people who learned the truth were comforting Ni Tianqiang, so after eating, several soldiers divided into two ways, Bai Jian and Bai Xinfan went to find a husband, and went to Zhang Yan's house by the way, while the other three took Dr. Liang's share to the hospital.
Soon, Bai Jian and Bai Xinfan came to the small alley.
"Brother Bai, what chance do you think that husband is still alive. ”
"No, although the profession of a husband has long been lost in my world, I have learned from some books that it is impossible for a husband to be derelict in his duties without explaining anything. ”
When the two walked out of Sihai's house, there were still a lot of people, perhaps because of Zhang Thorium, the street where the two were now empty was empty, and although the shops on both sides were not closed, they were a little creepy.
Stepping on the moonlight, the two walked into the alley, and walked through the house of ordinary people in Zhang Yan's house, but for some reason, the two of them couldn't feel the slightest breath of life at all.
Although the alley is not deep, the two feel that the road is unusually long.
When he finally came to the husband's house, Bai Jian wanted to knock on the door, but Bai Xinfan stopped him, and then made a quiet gesture.
Suoso –
There was movement in the door, but at the same time there was no breath.
After the two glanced at each other, they both cautiously drew their swords, nodded in confirmation, and the two slammed open the door at the same time.
A black shadow flashed, and their eyes remained on the black shadow, and then the black shadow slowly approached them, and a mouse ran out from under the two of them.
A false alarm.
After making sure that there was no one in the room, the two of them were frightened by the atmosphere of the alley, and then quickly left the place and returned to the medical hall.
After returning to the hospital, they happened to meet Dr. Liang eating, so they sat down and chatted for a while, and Bai Jian and Bai Xinfan told them what they had just encountered.
After Dr. Liang finished eating, everyone went to rest, and several people felt that the husband had been killed.
Sure enough, just after dawn the next day, a scream woke up the entire capital, and an old woman found the body of her husband in a small alley.
Several people rushed to hear the sound and found that the husband had been dead for a long time, just a few hours later than Zhang and them.
Seeing that the husband was dead, and the way of death was the same as that of Zhang Thorium, it is estimated that he met a thief from Zhang Tham's house on the way to the watch, and then was killed.
Dr. Liang had just closed his eyes when a soldier came over with bad news.
