Chapter 248: Incident

After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!

It was close to noon, and there was still no intention of opening the door, but no one left whether it was the onlookers or the people waiting in line for the auction, and there was still a sea of people outside the door of the golden and jade hall.

"What the hell is this gold and jade pavilion doing?"

"Open the door!"

"You guys are full of gold and jade, do you still want to do business!"

"Open the door! Open the door!!"

There was already a commotion in the crowd, and some of the short-tempered guys began to curse, and even some of them rolled up their sleeves and were ready to go up and knock on the door, but before they could take two steps, they were stopped by the dart master hired by the Golden Jade Pavilion, and they returned to the team with kind words.

The shopkeeper took Guo Xiaodao to squat on the side of the road and nibble on the hot buns he had just bought.

"It's so dark. Guo Xiaodao was reluctant to swallow the buns: "A bun costs three dollars of silver, and three dollars of silver in other places are enough to buy a few drawers of buns." ”

The shopkeeper held the hot bun and chewed it without a bite, and smiled while chewing: "This is still the price of conscience, everything in this Hundred Flowers City is expensive, the radius of five miles is full of flowers and plants, there is no farmland, and there are no crops in the city. ”

"It's worthy of being a shopkeeper, and you can see the door clearly. A hawker next to him couldn't help but say when he heard this: "I've been setting up a stall here all morning, and all I hear from others is scolding us profiteers, and you are the only one here who helps us speak." ”

"Those merchants deliberately slaughtered you, don't you know if you don't buy it?" Guo Xiaodao was not angry: "It's okay now, even eating a bun will bleed heavily." ”

The peddler smiled bitterly: "Little brother, you don't have a backache just standing and talking, we don't want to buy it, but we have to buy it, if anyone doesn't buy those rice noodles, then it is equivalent to self-defeat." ”

Guo Xiaodao was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be that there are still people forcing you to buy it?

"Not really. The peddler smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Do you think, if I don't buy it, and other colleagues in the city do, I will have no goods to sell during this time, and I will be squeezed out of this street. ”

"Then you can discuss it. Guo Xiaodao spoke: "Can't you be tough and not buy the goods of those profiteers? If you don't buy them, those profiteers will naturally lower the price." ”

The peddler didn't say anything when he heard this, but shook his head with a wry smile.

Ning Shisan patted Guo Xiaodao's shoulder: "Boy, don't think too naΓ―vely, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, no one knows what they are thinking in their hearts when they stand facing each other, even if they say it, there are always those guys who are reluctant to buy leftovers in the bowl with soft bones, as long as there is demand in the market, there will always be purchasing power." ”

Guo Xiaodao listened to these words and held the bun thoughtfully, and the shopkeeper looked at Ning Shisan with a smile: "Why, this pavilion full of gold and jade is opened by your family, and there are so many Jianghu customers in the annex, you are not afraid of being recognized?"

Ning Shisan shrugged: "I floated so far down the river, and the flying pigeon had to fly for two or three days, I have never been to this Hundred Flowers City, how could the news be transmitted so quickly, it's a big deal to change my appearance." ”

"You still have this skill?" Guo Xiaodao was a little surprised.

"What, in your eyes I'm just a guy who doesn't know how to learn?"

"Hey, hey, whatever. ”

Hundred Flowers City, Lost Willow Lane.

A tall and cold-faced woman stood in the house of Lost Willow Lane, the woman was not wearing a dress, but wearing dark blue clothes and pants, the upper body was also covered with soft armor, and a small bamboo cage was hung around her waist, and there was a short-tailed fat mouse lying in it, the key was the waist card hanging on the woman's waist, which was engraved with a huge peony flower.

Not long ago, the residents of Failed Willow Lane approached the guards of Baihua City, saying that they heard a scream in the depths of Lost Willow Lane, and the scream was extremely short, but after a while, when someone dared to touch it, there was no one in the house, only black ash and rotten debris on the ground and blood on the wall.

There were several Hundred Flowers City guards around her who were squatting on the ground and busy working, and one of the guards stepped forward and clenched his fists and bowed his head: "My lord." ”

The woman said coldly: "How is it?

"Lord Hui, I've found out. The guard replied, "There was indeed a massacre here, and this ground covered in black ash and decay was the result of an extremely vicious Gu poison according to the records of the city, which can corrode corpses and clothes, but"

"But what?"

However, according to records, there are two kinds of poison that can achieve this effect, one is called "scavenging", the last time this poison appeared on the rivers and lakes was from the hand of Yao Guanyin, but Yao Guanyin was missing fifty years ago, and his inheritance was cut off, and the other was from the Mo family. ”

"Mo family?" The cold-faced woman frowned: "That Mo family, the first Gu cultivator in the world?"

"Exactly. ”

The cold-faced woman frowned: "It's a little difficult now." ”

Now that the auction in the city is full of gold and jade, it has attracted many Jianghu guests and dignitaries, but this kind of terrifying Gu poison has appeared in the city, and what people are most concerned about is the cause of death of those people.

The cold-faced woman raised her head, and part of the beam above the cold-faced woman's head was dark black, which was the color of the blood drying up, and the roof beam was almost two people high from the top of the head, and it was unusual for blood to splash to that position, and a large amount of blood splashed to that place, aside from the intentional action of the perverted murderer, there was only one possibility, that is, when the person who practiced martial arts was fully operating the source of qi and blood, he was broken through the defense with a move and directly injured the vital point of the heart, and the source of qi and blood took advantage of this to break through the shackles of the body to splash to such a high place.

According to the description of the person who reported the crime, these people who practiced martial arts from the outbreak to the death died tragically on the spot without going through a single round, which shows that the perpetrator is not an ordinary person.

Now this era is not the era of ink soil, the rivers and lakes can almost be said to be as calm as stagnant water, and it is obviously not normal for so many rivers and lakes to die in one breath in this year.

"Tsk, it's at this juncture. The cold-faced woman smacked her lips a little irritably and waved her hand: "Clean up the scene, strengthen the vigilance around the golden jade pavilion, just in case, you act according to the formation, I won't act with you." ”

"My lord, where are you going?"

The cold-faced woman said lightly: "Go find someone from the Mo family and ask clearly." ”
