Mozhou

Passing through the flow of people, to the end of the market street, is a slightly quiet building, the plaque above the dark gate, vigorously inscribed four big characters 'Yingtian Teahouse', two small two people, guarding the door, from time to time to attract guests into the store.

The boss and Shao Hong had already come out to greet them, and they were all smiles, squeezing the wrinkles on their faces more and deeper, "The young owner is coming, the small one is far away, rude, please come inside..."

This is an industry of Hongyuan Villa in Mozhou, the boss and Shao Hong are middle-aged uncles, born white, with a large body, wearing a patterned satin shirt, and the belt is tightly on the big belly.

Yingtian Teahouse looks like a teahouse for a living, but it is actually the eyeliner of Hongyuan Villa in Mozhou. It can also be regarded as a direct branch hall, so the boss and Shao Hong are also the hall owners of this branch hall to a certain extent, and the distinguished guest he greeted was Li Shijie, the owner of the young village.

The lobby is a place to entertain guests to drink tea, slightly more lively than other spaces, and then go inside, it is a quiet courtyard, a small bridge, flowing water, rockeries, pavilions, as well as century-old pine trees and evergreen vegetation, the cobblestone road is winding and deep, and the shadow of the wind and sand climate in the north of the desert can not be seen at all, which makes people think that they have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

A spacious tea room, a pot of hot tea, two tea cups, a plate of delicate snacks, two people sitting facing each other, the heat emitted by the hot water slowly rises, and the house is suddenly overflowing with the fragrance of tea.

"I will report the situation here from time to time, so why bother the young owner to make a trip in person?"

Li Shijie smiled helplessly, "It's my father who doesn't worry, although I bear the title of the young owner, but in the whole villa, I am just an errand runner." Aren't you being sent to find out the news?"

"Oh, hehe... The young owner joked. He Shao Hong paused and continued, "Hmm... If I'm going to have news, I've got it. ”

"Oh?" Li Shijie raised his eyebrows, "But Luojiabao has a new face?"

"Old rivals. He smiled mysteriously at Shao Hong.

"People from the Hengshan faction?" Li Shijie took a sip of tea and sighed lightly, "A few years ago, the people from the Hengshan faction ruined our business in Weicheng, and I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”

He Hong is not an ordinary character, and reminds intentionally or unintentionally, "That's your own brother." ”

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, Li Shijie explored the breath of the floating shadow, and a wry smile appeared on his face, as if he was talking about the floating shadow who was secretly spying, and it seemed to be saying it to himself, "What about the younger brother? In the entire Hongyuan Villa, the family relationship between brothers, father and son, is just a joke." ”

The breath of the floating shadow was gone, and Shao Hong said, "Your nasty entourage is gone." ”

Li Shijie looked in the direction of the door, his face full of ridicule, "People who don't know the severity of their lives, staying by their side will be a scourge sooner or later." Li Shijie lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, "For example, ......"

He Shao Hong immediately understood what Li Shijie meant, he knew that he was asking Li Zifeng for the news of the two days he was in Wei'an City, so he immediately took over, "Don't worry, the young master, Li Zifeng has returned to the mountain safely, and as for the redundant black-clothed guard beside him, the people over there in Wei'an City have quietly dealt with it." ”

Li Shijie's expression tightened, and he put the teacup on the table heavily, "Move your hand in Wei'an City?"

"The young owner can rest assured that he only made a move when he arrived in Yeyang City. ”

"That's fine. Li Shijie breathed a sigh of relief, "My younger brother is just too soft-hearted, he obviously has a grudge in his heart but doesn't vent it, and being that black-clothed guard can be regarded as pushing him." ”

and Shao Hong smiled, "What about Luojiabao?"

Li Shijie showed a strange smile, "This kind of hurtful thing, my father just handed it over to me, even if I don't want to, I can't slack off, Luojiabao side, I want to go in person to meet the owner of Luojiabao, which can be regarded as making up for the failure of the business in Luojiabao." ”

Yeyang City Yunxuan Pharmacy

There has been no change recently, Shen Zhiping still has no leisure, buried in front of a stack of official documents on the desk carefully studied, in the hope of finding out about the movement of black and white poison, at this time, a disciple looked at the door of the study rudely, and after receiving the answer, he hurried in.

The disciple saluted, "Hall Master." ”

"Lingye Palace is moving again?" Shen Zhiping unhurriedly picked up the pen and wrote something.

"It's the black-clad shadow guard. ”

"Didn't he follow back to the mountain?" Shen Zhiping stopped writing, picked up another official document and looked at it, "What news did you come back to inquire about?"

"It's there, it's just, it's a corpse! There's an arm missing, there's no corpse. ”

Shen Zhiping hurriedly put down the official document, a little surprised, it stands to reason that the shadow guards of the Hengshan faction are all top masters, with good body skills, fast shots, and excellent vigilance, how could they be easily killed?

"What about the corpses?"

"In the backyard. ”

In the backyard, there was a corpse with a missing arm lying on a dilapidated wooden board, the flesh and blood on the left cheek were blurred, almost revealing the white bones, and after trying to identify him, he recognized that he was the shadow guard who had been following Li Zifeng before, and the black clothes he was wearing were also damaged, and his hair was a little scattered, which was miserable. A few little medicine boys gathered around the corpse not far from the corpse and discussed...

"How did this man die so miserably, who was so cruel?"

"Isn't this the mouthy guard, who spends his days like a ghost, and I didn't expect to become a ghost. ”

"If you want to point fingers at anyone, something will happen sooner or later. ”

"Do you think it will be ......" A medicine boy was frightened by his own thoughts and quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense!" ......

This kind of introduction did not stop until the hall master Shen Zhiping came forward. Ye Li hurriedly withdrew from the irrelevant personnel, Shen Zhiping squatted down and checked it, the left arm of the black cloth was cut off, and the skin of the right cheek was also shaved off, and the real fatal thing was the neck!

The key is that his death is exactly the same as that of Li Quan, the housekeeper of Hongyuan Villa, could it be that the murderer... Impossible, Shen Zhiping closed his eyes, the first thing he thought of was Li Zifeng, but he quickly rejected this idea. Li Quan and Li Zifeng have a grudge against killing their mother, but the black clothes are different, even if they are disgusted, they will not kill him.

Shen Zhiping waved his hand to beckon the disciple who found the corpse, "Where was the corpse found?"

"Just in the backyard where the medicinal herbs are planted, the disciple found that the soil was a little dead, different from other places, so he wanted to go over and turn over the soil, who knows... Put him... Turned out. The waiter did not seem to have recovered from the horror and the smell of evil.

Shen Zhiping thought for a long time, his peaceful face gradually deepened, and he didn't know it until it was past lunchtime, Ye Li and the waiter stood like this, Shen Zhiping didn't speak, and they couldn't retreat, during which a waiter came to pass the meal, and Ye Li waved his hand lightly and retreated.

After another stick of incense, Shen Zhiping let out a long breath, a sneer appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself, "Sure enough, it's a backyard water." ”

Ye Li and the waiter looked at each other, and before they knew what to do, Shen Zhiping instructed the waiter, "Oh, it's okay, you can retreat first!"

The waiter was ordered to retreat, Ye Li looked at the waiter's distant back, walked to Shen Zhiping's side and asked tentatively, "Uncle Shi, what did you think of again?"

"Let's hide this matter for the time being, the matter is not clear, don't return to the sect. ”

"Disciple understands!"

Shen Zhiping's expression was uncertain, "Also, you go and do something for me......"

Ye Li understood, and took a step closer to Shen Zhiping, and then Shen Zhiping said something in Ye Li's ear.
