Volume 1 The ups and downs of life Chapter 53 A leaf knows autumn
The staff of the Bounty Pavilion are very efficient. In less than three minutes, he handed over a piece of paper to the general manager. The general manager looked at it and frowned.
Because the above material is very simple, and the time is also three years ago. In other words, in the past three years, Ding Jian has not completed any bounty tasks.
But in the past three years, the general manager once remembered that Ding Jian often came to the bounty pavilion in Shangyang City to see the bounty tasks released (you don't need to register at the counter to receive the task, but Ding Jian is not an unknown person, and the general manager has a little impression of him) but has not completed it once, which is a bit intriguing.
If, as this young man (Wang Xiaotian) said, this situation can make sense. In fact, Ding Jian has been colluding with Zhang Yihuo to harm those bounty hunters who are ready to do Zhang Yihuo's mission!
The general manager has been in the industry for many years, and he can sit in this position step by step from a grassroots employee, not just because of the high level of the force, but also because his brain turns fast and thinks deeply.
He immediately thought that the matter of Ding Jian colluding with Zhang Yihuo to harm the bounty hunter was said to be just a bad thing within the bounty hunters, and if it was not widely publicized, it would not have much to do with the Bounty Pavilion.
But now it has been publicized by Wang Xiaotian in the Bounty Pavilion in the public, and the Bounty Pavilion will inevitably be angered by everyone. Moreover, Ding Jian has been doing this for so long, and the Bounty Pavilion has not even noticed that there is indeed a dereliction of duty in itself, and if it is spread, the reputation of the Bounty Pavilion will inevitably be damaged.
When everyone saw the general manager's expression, they already had a guess in their hearts. They exchanged glances and slowly circled the counter.
Looking at the people who looked unkind, the general manager secretly hated Wang Xiaotian in his heart. Originally, these people were already planning to leave, but at this juncture, he revealed the matter of Ding Jian's teammates. That's a lot!
However, no matter how much the general manager hates Wang Xiaotian in his heart, he has to get rid of the gang of people who came around first. He had a quick brain teaser, made up his mind, coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, what this young man said is very important, and we will immediately verify it." Please be calm. ”
"What are you going to do after we find out?" shouted the monkey through the crowd. Immediately attracted the support of others.
The general manager glanced at the monkey. The monkey felt as if there was an incomparably sharp blade slashing through his neck, and he immediately shrank up in fright, hiding in the crowd, not daring to raise his head.
The general manager continued: "If it is verified that what this young man said is true, we will take out 1 million to reward Ding Jian, and list the task of this reward as a first-class task. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited, and they exchanged words with each other.
"In addition," everyone stopped talking when they heard that the general manager had something to say, and pricked up their ears to listen to him.
The general manager said: "For Zhang Yihuo's escape this time, because there is a reason for the incident, our reward pavilion will negotiate with the chamber of commerce and come up with money to compensate the dead and injured." It doesn't matter how much they can give. On behalf of the Bounty Pavilion, I only promise to give the bounty hunters who participated in this operation a hardship fee of 3,000 yuan each. ”
The crowd erupted in cheers. Although 3,000 yuan is not much, it is enough for them to live for a while. What's more, this time, the high bounty pavilion was deflated and bowed to them, which made them happier than getting the hard money of 3,000 yuan.
The general manager ignored the cheering crowd, looked at Wang Xiaotian and said warmly: "This young man, can you take a step to speak?"
Wang Xiaotian couldn't see the joy or anger on the face of the general manager, but his intuition told him that the general manager might not have a good idea in his heart. However, so many people saw him inviting themselves, and they were not afraid of what tricks he could play. So, he nodded very calmly.
The general manager stretched out his hand and pointed upstairs and said, "It's too noisy down there and it's not the place to talk." Please move to the VIP room on the second floor. Know...... Zhiqiu, you lead the way for this young man. ”
The slender and thin girl who received Wang Xiaotian last time suddenly appeared behind Wang Xiaotian, bowed to him, and said softly: "Young man, please come with me." ”
Wang Xiaotian was taken aback, because he didn't notice when this girl named Zhiqiu came to him.
He carefully looked the girl up and down, and found that she was also a cultivator, at the peak of the third-level Force. At her age, being able to reach such a state can be regarded as an outstanding talent.
Wang Xiaotian immediately became suspicious, the general manager of a small town like Shangyang is a master, and this is just that. Any staff member who comes here is a talented cultivator, what is the origin of this bounty pavilion? The strength is too strong, right?
Seeing that Wang Xiaotian didn't react, the girl said again: "Young man, please come with me." ”
Wang Xiaotian came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded, "Okay." Thank you. As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Yanzi with an inquiring gaze.
Ling Yanzi shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't notice when this girl named Zhiqiu came to them.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be secretly vigilant. The girl Zhiqiu didn't have any abnormal reaction, and turned around to lead the way in front.
After walking through the hall and walking on the stairs, Ling Yanzi took two quick steps, parallel to the girl Zhiqiu, and asked, "What is the surname of the girl Zhiqiu?"
The girl Zhiqiu seemed to be a little scared, her cheeks were slightly red, a little cowardly, and she lowered her head and whispered: "The guest has been raised, how can the villain be worthy of the noble character? ”
"Ye knows autumn, and a leaf falls and knows the world autumn. Your name is very philosophical. The one who gave you the name must have been a learned man?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "The villain's name was given by the villain's father. The villain doesn't know if he is learned. The villain was named Zhiqiu because the villain also had an eldest sister and two brothers. The eldest sister's name is Zhichun, and the second brother's name is Zhixia. ”
Ling Yanzi heard this and joked with Ye Zhiqiu: "Then you must have another brother or sister named Zhidong, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu said in surprise: "How do you know that the villain's sister is called Zhidong?"
Ling Yanzi said with a smile: "The year is divided into four seasons, spring, summer and autumn, and there is another winter to be complete." ”
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and did not continue to speak.
Wang Xiaotian suddenly asked: "If there are only four children, it is okay to call it spring, summer, autumn and winter." What if there are more than four? How do you choose a name?"
Ling Yanzi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. Then she asked Ye Zhiqiu: "Zhiqiu, do you have any other brothers and sisters besides Sister Zhidong?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"How many are there?, what are their names?" Wang Xiaotian and Ling Yanzi asked in unison.
They became interested in Ye Zhiqiu's name, eager to know what name her father would give to his four future children.
Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback by the reaction of the two of them, and when he saw that the two of them had no malicious intent, he said, "There is only one younger brother, named Zhiyu." Rainy rain. ”
"Oh. The two of them suddenly realized. Just now, their thinking was drilled, and the name was just to find a word with a good meaning, not necessarily limited to the four seasons. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are used up, and there are rain, snow, wind and frost, rain, snow, wind and frost are used up, and there are mountains and rivers and lakes, and there are many words that can be used for names.
Knowing the answer, the two of them lost interest and did not speak again. On the contrary, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "Actually, my father is not satisfied with our name. He said that our names were too feminine and lacking in momentum, and that our future achievements would be limited. ”
A little strange, he said, "Does the name still have anything to do with the achievement?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I can't say clearly." I was four or five years old at the time. I only remember that my brother also asked this question at that time. My dad angrily reprimanded him and said, Of course it matters, have you seen that Force Master and Force Grandmaster called Wang Ergouzi and Zhang Sanzi?"
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Who said that there are no big people, such as the second dog, the third leper, such nicknames? It's just that their status is high, and how old their elders are not in the world, and others dare not shout, they are just nicknames that sound very despicable.
Besides, then again, even if there is such a nickname, those big people will not say it. After a long time, those who knew their nicknames were all dead, and if the parties didn't say it, naturally no one would know.
Wang Xiaotian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your general manager's surname?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Ye." ”
"Huh. Wang Xiaotian was a little surprised, compared the ages of the general manager and Ye Zhiqiu, and asked, "Could it be ...... He's your grandfather?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head again and again, "No." ”
After thinking about it, Wang Xiaotian secretly guessed the age of the general manager and said, "Could it be your grandfather?"
"No, no. Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly said: "We just happen to be surnamed Ye, and it's not the relationship you think." ”
Wang Xiaotian sighed and didn't say anything more. He also felt that if Ye Zhiqiu was related to the general manager, how could the general manager be willing to let her come out to work at a young age? It is estimated that it should only be the same surname, even if there is a relative, it is also a relatively distant kind.
The trio soon arrived at the VIP room. The VIP room is not large, only more than ten square meters, and there are only a few sofas and coffee tables in it. But simplicity is luxury.
Several of the sofas were made of precious wood and bone, and the skin of the fourth-level alien beast swamp crocodile was wrapped on the outside. Not to mention the coffee table, it is all made of thousand-year-old ironwood.
The two of them sat down, Ye Zhiqiu poured hot tea, said "slow use" and bowed out.
The two studied the sofa and coffee table for a while before the general manager pushed the door in.
Out of politeness, the two stood up to greet each other.
The general manager also waved his hand again and again very politely and said, "Please sit down, please take a seat." I'm really sorry, but there are too many mundane affairs, and I can't get out for a while, so I have waited for two of you for a long time. ”
After taking his seat, the general manager said: "My surname is Ye, my name is Tianxun, I don't know what the two young heroes call me?"
The two of them got up and gave their names separately.
Ye Tianxun invited the two of them to sit down and said, "Please two of you here, mainly because there are some details, and you need to ask the two of you for advice." Hehe, Ding Jian is a fifth-level Force master after all, and he is also quite famous in the bounty hunter industry. If the evidence is not solidified, it may be difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that he will be beaten in the future. I think you should be able to understand the difficulties of our Bounty Pavilion. ”
nodded and said, "What the predecessor said is reasonable. I don't know what else we need to talk about?"
"The first one. Ye Tianxun raised an index finger and said, "At that time, it was only the two of you, follow Ding Jian to the Eagle Cliff, ready to intercept Zhang Yihuo, right?"
The two nodded.
"Since Ding Jian and Zhang Yihuo have already colluded, why didn't the two join forces to kill you after they met?"
Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know." Maybe they think that our skills are low, and either of them can easily kill us if they make any shot, so they don't take us to heart, and there is no need for the two of them to join forces. ”
"In addition, I guess that Ding Jian was also afraid at that time, and Gu Hongsan, who was attacking Eagle Cliff head-on, chased him and found that he was colluding with Zhang Yihuo, so Ding Jian asked for money and left quickly. ”
Ye Tianxun thought for a moment, and suddenly stared at him: "You just said that Ding Jian asked for money and left?"
