When the ethereal woman couldn't see her figure at all, Wang Yuelong turned to look at the guy at the Wolong Inn who had been hanging aside by him for a long time.

Without waiting for the guy to speak, he took out a square black background gold token from his bosom and displayed it in front of the guy's eyes.

The huge golden king character is exactly the same as the king character on the black background gold flag on the recruitment side of the Wolong Inn, and it is all from the official book written by the same person. The guy looked at it and his expression immediately became respectful.

He bowed deeply to Wang Yuelong and said, "The adults will wait, and the small ones will go and invite the shopkeeper." ”

Wang Yuelong nodded, and the guy quickly turned around and called the shopkeeper.

After a while, the guy walked out quickly with the middle-aged shopkeeper who had greeted the ethereal woman before, and came to Wang Yuelong. The middle-aged shopkeeper saw Wang Yuelong, who was wearing a golden brocade robe and had an extraordinary bearing, and he didn't wait for the young man to introduce him, and directly arched a pair of fat hands and asked: "The villain is Wang Baichao, the shopkeeper of the Wolong Inn of the Qizhou Wang Family General Alliance of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, I don't know which adult you are?"

This shopkeeper Wang Baichao burst out his long list of titles in one breath, which shows that he often meets people from the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance on weekdays, and this cut is said in one go, without the slightest stagnation.

Wang Yuelong secretly looked at this unattractive shopkeeper Wang Baichao, and arched his hand in return: "Wang Yuelong, the king of Qi." But I couldn't help but marvel in my heart. This shopkeeper Wang Baichao, although he looks like a middle-aged businessman who has made a fortune on the outside, in fact, he is a master who is introverted and hidden.

At least, Wang Yuelong felt that the "Dark Feather Sword" Gongsun Jin that he had encountered before would definitely not be able to beat the fat shopkeeper in front of him who was smiling as if he was Maitreya Buddha.

And as soon as the shopkeeper Wang Baichao heard the young man's self-report, although he still had that smile like a good man on his face, his tone had already become respectful: "It turned out to be the second son, the villain doesn't know, please atone for your sins." ”

"Those who don't know are not to blame. Wang Yuelong didn't take it too seriously.

"The second son will wait, and the villain will go to arrange a place for you. Little Liuzi, go and set up the second son's horse. "Wang Baichao has been the shopkeeper for so many years, so he is naturally a good person, and he doesn't need to say it himself, he has already arranged everything.

"Okay. "This guy is not very old, he is fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is also a ghost elf guy, and he went directly to Thor and wanted to take the reins of the horse.

Unbeknownst to him, this arrogant steed didn't even look at the young man, and let him take the reins of the horse, but he didn't move a single step.

"Ho ————" Thor didn't cooperate, Xiao Liuzi was small and weak, and he used his strength to eat, his face was red, and he couldn't pull Thor a step.

The young man watched with the shopkeeper, and no one stepped forward to help.

"Huh-" Perhaps Thor was a little impatient, the god shook its head violently, only to see that the little man with a small body was actually carried by the reins and soared directly into the air, so frightened that the little man danced in the air, and let out a frightened scream.

"Thor, stop making trouble. Wang Yuelong also knew that this was not the time to watch the excitement, so he stepped forward to catch the little six sons who fell, and then said to Thor.

Thor snorted again and nodded very humanely.

Only then did the young man say to the young man who was still a little dazed: "My Thor has been handed over to you, you communicate with it more, it is actually very easy to talk." ”

"Oh, oh. Xiao Liuzi was still a little dazed, and subconsciously took the reins of Thor from Wang Yuelong's hand, and then pulled Thor who became obedient in an instant to the backyard in a daze.

"Second son, please come inside. Wang Baichao saw that the excitement here was over, so he bowed down and invited Wang Yuelong to enter.

And his move naturally made the people who were watching the excitement around here all amazed, and they all talked about the identity of the young man.

"Please. Wang Yuelong was unmoved, said a polite word to Wang Baichao, and followed him into the Wolong Inn.

Walking through the simple, warm and elegant hall, in the surprised eyes of the diners in the hall, Wang Baichao personally took the boy into the backyard and took him to a secluded and elegant small courtyard.

"Second son, this is the Wolong Garden of this inn specially used to receive the brothers walking in the league, the environment is elegant and quiet, and someone is responsible for cleaning it every day on weekdays. Wang Baichao pushed away the people in the small courtyard and walked in with the young man.

This small courtyard has a hill and a bay of water, and in a limited space, the meandering pavilion corridors form an elegant painting. The whole annex has a Jiangnan layout style.

It's just that because it's still cold, all the flowers and trees in the courtyard have not yet grown and sprouted, which makes this small yard less lively and more depressed.

"This yard is good, and there is a lot of disturbance below. The boy was very fond of such a secluded courtyard, and he happily stayed.

"The second son is serious. Just ask the second son to take a break, and the villain will order the guy to prepare a meal for the second son. After Wang Baichao brought the boy to this Wolong Garden, he wanted to retire.

"The shopkeeper Wang will stay for the time being. Although Wang Yuelong had rushed away before, he didn't feel tired now, but was quite interested in the tragedy of Liu Daguan's family being slaughtered.

"What do you have to say about the second son?" Since the young man spoke, Wang Baichao naturally had to stay.

"What I want to ask next is the killing of the family of Liu Daguan, a wealthy local businessman. After secretly observing the surroundings and not noticing the existence of others, Wang Yuelong did not go around in circles, and said directly to the point.

"The second prince also learned about this?" Wang Baichao's heart moved when he heard this, and he replied quietly, "That's true, just the night before yesterday, the fifty-five members of the Liu Daguan family, both young and old, were all killed by someone who cut their throats with a sharp blade. Now the government has dispatched personnel to investigate the matter thoroughly, but no useful clues have been found. After the villain learned about this yesterday, he didn't dare to hide it, so he flew a pigeon with the leader of the Qihe Branch Alliance to pass the book back to Qiwang Fort, and the General Alliance also sent a letter back saying that the investigators would arrive today. It's just that what the villain didn't expect was that it was you, the second son, who came. ”

Wang Yuelong's heart couldn't help but be ashamed, it turned out that he had just come very coincidentally, and he had stumbled into it by mistake. But the young man didn't break it, but made a mistake, nodded, pretended to be unfathomable, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Please ask the shopkeeper Wang to tell me what you know and tell me in detail." ”

"Yes. Wang Baichao did not doubt him, and immediately told the young man what he had learned.

It turned out that this Liu Daguan was really a well-known good man as he heard in the official road tea shed before.

Unlike many hypocrites in the world who seek fame and reputation, Liu Daguan is a person who can sincerely think about the ordinary people. It is rumored that the ancestor of Liu Daguan once produced a Qing official who loved the people like a son, but he was later framed and dismissed from his post in the officialdom struggle. But the ancestral motto of being kind to the people has been handed down. Liu Daguan, on the other hand, firmly followed the ancestral teachings and provided relief to the people in the surrounding countryside for a long time, and even took the initiative to reduce or reduce the tenants' rents in bad harvest years. Even those who work for their shops can be treated well.

is such a good old man who is kind to others, and he smiles when he sees everyone, and he has never heard of any grudges or grudges with his neighbors.

But it can't completely rule out the possibility of vendettas. After all, everyone in Qihe County knows that this Liu Daguan and the people in the rivers and lakes have a very close past, and they have made a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes in the past, so no one can guarantee that this time Liu Daguan's family was destroyed, not because of grievances in the rivers and lakes.

After all, with the new round of the top five lists about to be updated, the grievances and hatreds on the rivers and lakes suddenly increased for a while.

Liu Daguan is a well-known wealthy businessman in Qihe County, and there are naturally many guards in the family, but he was still killed. Wang Baichao deduced that the real murderer of this extermination must be the one who has a place on the master list. After all, the door can be extinguished silently overnight, especially with the method of cutting the throat, without any strength, it can't be done.

The government of Qihe County has already intervened to investigate this matter, but with the third-class officials of the county government, Wang Baichao is very sure that they will definitely not find out anything. Unless someone from above can send down the god arrest level to investigate the case, it is very likely that it will not be resolved.

In addition, the shopkeeper Wang also mentioned one thing, that is, after the government intervened in this bloody case, it sealed off the home of Liu Daguan and forbade anyone who was not from the government to approach.

At this point, Ling's Wang Baichao, the elite shopkeeper, smelled a trace of unusual smell. But he himself only felt suspicious, but he didn't have a specific clue yet.

However, before Wang Yuelong came, Wang Baichao had already contacted the leader of the Qihe Alliance, and agreed to go to the scene of the bloody crime tonight, ready to find out, and see if he could find any useful clues.

After all, Qihe County is the territory of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, and there are wicked people in the rivers and lakes who dare to make such a case in the territory of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, which really does not take the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance in their eyes.

If the real culprit of this bloody case is not found, then the Dongzhou Five Business Alliance will lose face in the entire rivers and lakes.

"Since Shopkeeper Wang intends to visit the house of that Liu Daguan at night, please notify the next one when the time comes. When Wang Yuelong heard that Wang Baichao had already planned a night detective, he couldn't help but be interested, and he recommended himself very actively.

"If the adults can help, the villains will listen to their orders. Wang Baichao had also heard some anecdotes about the second son from Qiwangbao in Qizhou, and he knew a little about the mind and skills of the second son, so he was naturally very happy, "Then the second son, you can take a rest for a while, and when the time comes, the villain will come to inform you." ”

"Good. Wang Yuelong is also ready to take advantage of the time to breathe, and he will not leave the king shopkeeper at the moment.

With a resignation, the shopkeeper Wang left Wolong Garden.
