Chapter 73: Liu Cripple

Zhengde Street is in the south of the city, and Li Xiumei introduced that this piece belongs to the civilian area.

When they arrived at Zhengde Street, it was almost noon, and the people on both sides of the street were cooking food, and the smell could even be smelled in the carriage.

The houses here are mainly two- or three-story low-rise buildings, and the houses are not designed at all, they are all low-end apartments, so they can only be said to be inhabitable.

It is not like the wealthy area where Professor Wang is located, where there are courtyards and have their own styles, nor is it like the commercial area where the "Youlu Hotel" is located, which is quite elegantly decorated, nor does it seem to be the administrative district where the police headquarters is located, which is dominated by high-rise buildings, which is magnificent and majestic.

Of course, this is not the worst place, and last night, when listening to the small chatter of other drinkers, I talked about the slums of the imperial capital, where small wooden houses and shacks are dominant, barely sheltering from the rain, and it is difficult to keep out the wind.

"It's here. Through the glass on the carriage, Li Xiumei, the head snake, found an antique shop, "Liu Ji Antique Dealership".

She patted the carriage, and the coachman signaled, Le Horse slowed down, and the carriage pulled over.

When the group got out of the car, the driver asked, "The cloudchasers are a little tired, and I want to feed them some food and water." ”

It turns out that this horned, horse-like animal is called a cloud-chaser. Their physical strength is much better than that of a horse on Earth, and they gallop faster than a horse on Earth.

Li Xiumei shook her head: "You are just waiting here, ready to answer at any time." ”

The groom nodded helplessly.

Li Xiumei touched the musket on her waist and walked towards Liu Ji's antique dealer, and Xiang Yong and the others followed closely without leaving.

The streets are clean and refreshing, and the pedestrians on both sides of the road are not vegetable-looking, yellow-skinned, but on the contrary, they all seem to be well-nourished.

Compared with the steam age on the earth, the material civilization and spiritual civilization of the Dashun Empire are more advanced.

Of course, there are also discordant things, and there are two street girls in the distance, dressed up in fancy clothes, and they are soliciting guests in broad daylight.

A few ragged beggars were begging along the streetside shops.

On the steps in front of the Liu Ji antique dealer sat an old man with only one leg, with a wooden stick embedded in his left leg, with several obvious scars on his face, wearing a dark coarse cloth shirt, a tattered hat, and a luxuriant, dirty beard, who seemed to be one of the beggars.

But he was playing an instrument that resembled an erhu, and the music was desolate, and he was enjoying it with a look of satisfaction and intoxication on his face.

"Cripple Liu. Li Xiumei's shiny boots stopped in front of the lame old man.

The old man stopped playing, squinted, and looked at Li Xiumei against the light, a blank smile appeared on the old face like bark.

"Officer, what's the matter?"

"Cripple Liu, you've made a mistake, come back to the bureau with me. Li Xiumei said angrily.

The old man immediately put on a smile on his face, and his old face wrinkled like an orange peel: "Officer Li, there is something to say, something to say! The old man has an old bone and can't stand the toss?"

"You finally recognize me now?" Li Xiumei stabbed, "Go to your store, there are people coming and going at the door, and it's inconvenient to speak." ”

As he spoke, he walked inside.

Liu Cripple looked at Xiang Yong and the others silently, jumped up agilely with his hands on the ground, and jumped up to keep up with Li Xiumei's pace.

Fan Xiaoyue and Chen Beixuan were both taken aback, they didn't expect this disabled person to have such agility.

Xiang Yong and Li Zhiping were not surprised, their eyesight was better, and they had already seen that Liu Cripple had cultivation in his body, and his cultivation was not low, and his skills had a faint fluctuation of true yuan, and he was a monk who built a foundation realm.

At his age, he has not been well maintained, and his limbs are disabled, so it is still doubtful whether he can have any combat power left, but it is no problem to walk freely like a normal person.

Entering the house, Chen Beixuan and the others were dazzled by the antiques in the room, and he whispered to Fan Xiaoyue: "How about we steal a few of the most valuable antiques here and sell them?"

Fan Xiaoyue didn't want to ridicule his retarded mind, so she said quietly, "We're here to do business, don't interrupt." ”

Liu lame didn't seem to hear it, and didn't show any expression.

Xiang Yong was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that he had already opened his ears when he built a foundation realm, and it was impossible to hear clearly.

Xiang Yong deliberately whispered: "Cripple Liu, Zhengyangmen is coming to chase you, run!"

Liu Cripple still didn't show the slightest strange expression.

Xiang Yong took a closer look and found that Liu Cripple didn't seem to have opened the Nine Apertures.

Perhaps the cultivation method of this world is flawed, and after cultivating to the late stage of opening the vein, he does not open the nine orifices, but directly prepares to condense the true element.

In this way, they do not need to go through the stage of opening the pulse and attaining the Great Perfection, and they can save time and enter the foundation building realm earlier, but compared to the same level, their combat effectiveness is worrying.

He looked around, and it was impossible for him to distinguish between the real and the fake in the antique shop. He wanted to see if there were any magic weapons, magic weapons, and the best materials for him to pick up, but unfortunately there weren't.

Come to think of it, Liu Cripple himself is a foundation building monk, and he is not an ordinary person, of course, it is impossible to leave good things to him to pick up leaks.

Liu lame instructed the two guys: "You look at the store, I have something to do." ”

Then he took Li Xiumei and Xiang Yong and his party through the lobby full of antiques and came to the inner room.

Inside is a small house of about ten square meters, from the layout, like a study, the shelves are full of books, there are a few books on the table, it should be often opened, the edges of the books are grinding.

Liu lame carefully hung the musical instrument on the wall, sat down at the desk, and beckoned Xiang Yong to wait for him to find a place to sit, while he curled up, gently pounded his intact right leg, and smiled before saying a word: "Officer Li came to the humble house, so that my dilapidated storefront is full of brilliance." But Officer Li is in a hurry, so he probably won't come to me to talk about it. If you have any requirements, you can ask for them, and I will do my best to do what I can. ”

Li Xiumei sat on a narrow stool without armrests, the stool was antique, it looked a little old, it exuded a faint wood fragrance, and it should be made of extraordinary material.

She stiffened her face and said solemnly, "I'm going to ask you something, and I hope you answer truthfully." If you conceal it, lie about it, or refuse to answer, I have the right to arrest you. ”

Liu's lame eyes were dull for a moment: "Officer Li, you don't need to be so businesslike, what kind of friendship do we have?"

"Yes, what kind of friendship do we have?" Li Xiumei asked rhetorically.

"......" Liu lame was speechless.

"I learned that half a year ago," Li Xiumei went straight to the point, "Professor Wang Jianlong of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the National Defense University bought a white jade tiger jade from you. Is there such a thing?"

Liu Cripple pretended to start recalling, "Let me think, let me think...... Half a year ago...... It's been too long, I'll think about it again......"

Li Xiumei took out a short-barreled musket from her waist.

Liu's words immediately became fluent: "I remember, there is such a thing! There is indeed such a thing!"
