Chapter 122: The Blind Man Who Sold Rice Balls (1)

"Xiao Er, I want a bowl of rice balls!"

While Bajie was speaking, a person came in from outside, sat down at the table of the person in Lingyi, and shouted like this, interrupting Bajie's words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The man in the robe, I didn't feel the fluctuation of strength from him, but the person who came in later was different, he was probably at the peak of the entry realm.

When he called like this, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "This master, we don't sell rice balls in our store!"

This shopkeeper seems to have come from behind just now, I haven't heard his voice, but it's not a strange thing, there are several guys in a small inn, isn't this a normal thing?

The man didn't seem to believe it, and immediately shouted: "How can it be, isn't the most famous thing in your pickaxe city is the blind glutinous rice balls? You actually say that your shop doesn't sell tangyuan!"

This guy was inexplicably very angry, not only the shopkeeper was stunned, but I felt that the other diners in the restaurant were also stunned.

No one answered him for a while, but he slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "What's the matter, everyone is dumb!"

Xiao Er laughed dryly and said: "This master, we really don't have any famous rice balls in Hoding City, but there is a blind man selling rice balls under the ancient bell tower, if you want to eat rice balls, go there and try your luck!"

Hearing this "ancient bell tower", I felt that the nerves in my whole body began to tense.

It is very likely that the blind man who sells rice balls is Zhu Que, but the complexity of this matter has escalated and it has become confusing, at least the blind man who sells rice balls is not a simple thing.

A little disbelieving, the man asked Xiao Er, "You said that the one who sells rice balls is in the ancient bell tower?"

Xiao Er immediately said: "That's right, absolutely right!"

After receiving Xiao Er's assurance, this person immediately sat down and asked the man in the robe: "This friend, the world is so big, people are as small as dust, we are fortunate to eat at the same table, do you think this is fate?"

I really want to laugh when I hear this person say such things, I've never seen anyone do this.

The man in the cloak didn't seem to pay attention to him, and he didn't speak.

The hot face was attached to a cold buttocks, the man laughed, but he was not too angry, and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to drink all this spirits, why don't I help you share a little?"

Hearing this, I kind of wanted to vomit blood, it turned out that this guy is still an alcoholic.

The man in the cloth, who didn't speak, spoke at this time, and said coldly, "You want to drink my wine and take out a night pearl!"

"This ......"

I was dumbfounded, how do I feel that the man in the cloth is very weird, and he talks about the night pearl at every turn.

The man didn't seem to be affected, chuckled, and said, "What about the Night Pearls? If you let me drink your wine, let alone one Night Pearl, I can take out ten!"

"Is that true?"

There was quite a lot of surprise in his voice, and the man in the cloth said again: "There is no evidence, you give me a reason to believe you!"

"It's simple. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the cup, poured the liquor into the glass, and took a sip of it.

"My master is a greedy wolf, and the flowers are disease-free. ”

He didn't speak loudly, but I could hear it clearly.

The moment I heard it clearly, I was stunned, this greedy wolf star flower is not sick, I know who he is, he comes from a big family.

In my memory, the only families I have come into contact with are the Mo family, the Qiu family, the Lin family, the Zhu family, and the Liu family, but there are more than those who have heard of it.

Among them, the most thunderous is the Bai family.

Although there are very few actions of the Bai family on the rivers and lakes, in private, many behemoths on the rivers and lakes have more or less interests with the Bai family.

Their family is like a big net, which will be in the entire network of rivers and lakes!

And the current character of the Bai family is the greedy wolf star, and the flower is disease-free.

There are also different opinions on this person, and there is even more disagreement about his true origin.

Anyway, although Hua Wuzhi is not surnamed Bai, he has represented the Bai family since the first day he appeared on the rivers and lakes.

In this regard, the Bai family has never responded, it seems to allow Hua Wuxi's existence, and Hua Wuxi's strong financial resources indirectly indicate that the Bai family is standing behind him.

If this person's master is really Hua Wuxi, then what he said is not empty words, Hua Wuxia is indeed a thousand night pearls that can be taken out.

However, I still don't understand a little, what if his owner is Hua Wuxi, could it be that Hua Wuzhi asked him to envelop this clothed man?

At least, I didn't see any characteristics of this man in a lily coat at all, and I didn't know what was worth spending without illness to let people come out to envelop him!

The man in the coat smiled, and smiled happily.

"Did Hua Wuzhi let you come?"

When asked by the man in the cloth, the man was silent, and his attitude was quite vague, which made me think about it.

"What are you doing here? Could it be that you are looking for me to eat rice balls?"

The second question, the man replied, and said, "Yes, my master suddenly became greedy recently, and I happened to hear that the blind soup balls are famous in the rivers and lakes, so he specially asked me to bring a bowl back." ”

I really can't help but sneer in my heart, the reason here is really interesting, do you have to call friends to buy dumplings?

I'm afraid that he will say that the flowers are not sick, and what he wants is not glutinous rice balls, but other things......

Immediately putting away my guesses, I continued to listen to the conversation between the two men and see what they would say later.

The man in the cloth paused and said, "Since Hua Wuzhi wants to eat rice balls, then you can go with me on the third watch tonight!"

"Where are you going, the Ancient Bell Tower?"

"Not bad!"

may think that this guy is not stupid, but when the man in the cloth answered, there was a hint of praise in his words.

I'm curious, does he really want to praise this person, or is he polite to him because he is afraid of the flower behind him?

The man arched his hand to the man in the cloth and said with a smile: "Then thank you brother! If I can't buy rice balls, my fate of white hunting will be explained here!"

"Your surname is Bai?"

He was surprised that the man suddenly reported himself to the door, and the man in the cloth asked suspiciously.

Bai Lie replied, "Yes, my surname is Bai!"

Although it is affirmed, it is still vague, there is more than one surname Bai in the world, Bai Hunt said this, or he was smoking, so I couldn't see it clearly for a while.

The man in the cloak didn't know if he had gotten any information from it, but he didn't speak anymore anyway.

The long silence between the two of them continued, and it was faintly blurred, making the entire inn somewhat quiet, and the sound of chewing food was heard clearly.

The clothed man and the white hunter are both good drinkers, and the three catties of wine were drunk by the two of them, and then the two of them lay on the table and did not move, who knows if they fell asleep or not.

I have the feeling that they did it on purpose.

It's still a long time before the third watch in the evening, and it's not a matter for them to wait here, so they all lie on the table.

The clothed man gave the shopkeeper a night pearl before, and the two of them were going to sleep here for ten days and half a month, and the shopkeeper probably wouldn't say anything.

Money can make ghosts grind, this is really not just talk.

Walking on the rivers and lakes, money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible.

Bajie and I didn't have any money, but Miao Chengtian left us a lot of money, which provided us with support for our expenses at the inn.

After observing for a while, I noticed that the two men were lying on their stomachs and did not move, apparently pretending to be asleep, and I suddenly came up with a very interesting idea.

"Bajie, you haven't finished guessing just now, you said that there are still night pearls in that person's bamboo basket. ”

Bajie said: "There should be one or two more!"

I couldn't help but laugh, and then I said, "Bajie, you go and bring the rest of the Night Pearl." ”

When I said this, Bajie didn't even think about it, and replied to me directly, "Okay, I'll go and get it!"

After saying that, Bajie got up directly, squatted down beside the two of them, and after tinkering for a while, he came back and put a small thing in front of me.

I could sense his movements, but I couldn't perceive anything else, so I asked, "What did you bring here?"

He laughed and said, "Master, I took the bamboo basket back, how many night pearls do you want, you can take it!"

There was a feeling of embarrassment in my heart, I really didn't know what to say, I reached out and groped for the bamboo basket, and found that there was a lid on it.

When I opened the lid and reached down, I hesitated.

Who knows what the man in the cloak will put into the bamboo basket, and if I reach in and touch it hastily, will I be hurt by hidden weapons, poisons, etc.?

With this thought, I didn't do it for a while, but it was a really exciting feeling, like a gamble and adventure, in order to bet that there might not be a night pearl in the bamboo basket.

When I stopped, I also heard a slight "click" from the bamboo basket, as if something was crawling inside.

"There's a living creature in there?"

A sign of danger suddenly rose in my heart, and I pushed the bamboo basket forward and hurried over to check on the condition of the two men.

I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked, where were those two people sleeping, they were already dead!

When I checked on the two men, the diners were also looking at me, and naturally they saw the death of these two people, and then they scattered in a panic and ran away.

I didn't have time to pay attention to them, so I said to Bajie: "Bajie, look at what's in that bamboo basket, and what kind of death these two people are." ”

Bajie immediately did as I ordered, and then said to me, "Master, there is a small black snake and a black wooden box in the bamboo basket, and the little snake looks very poisonous!"

"And those two people are all black on their faces and bleeding from their seven orifices, and it is very likely that they were poisoned, maybe they were poisoned by the little poisonous snake in the bamboo basket!"

Bajie's judgment made me feel very flawed, the snake had been locked in the bamboo basket all the time, except for the first time he reached in to get the night pearl, the man in the cloth did not reach into it again.

Not only that, if it is really a little snake biting, it will only be the person in the cloth who will be poisoned, and Bai Hunt has never touched the bamboo basket from head to tail, how can he be poisoned by the snake.

It is not by chance that this snake will be in the bamboo basket, it is very likely that this snake was raised by the man himself, in order to prevent others from stealing the night pearl in his bamboo basket.

How could the poisonous snake he raised suddenly bite him to death, snake keepers would not normally make such a mistake.

Since they were not bitten by a snake, it is only possible that they ingested poison.

From the beginning, the two of them just drank wine and ate meat, and the problem would only be with wine and meat.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, and I immediately asked, "Bajie, where is the little second who served the food before?"

After a while, Bajie said: "Master, the little two are gone, I don't know when they left!"

At this point, I immediately had a bad feeling in my heart that the murderer had run away.

"He must not have left from the front, you go to the back with me right away and ask the other guys!"

At this time, because there was a movement in the lobby of the inn, another guy came from behind.

When he saw the dead man, he also exclaimed, "You killed someone!"

His voice, I know, is the man who received us yesterday, so he said: "We have no grievances with them, how can we kill them, they are poisoned, the wine they drink, the beef they eat may have been poisoned!"

After I finished my judgment, this man was completely unconvinced, and said: "Our inn has been open in Hoding City for more than 20 years, and this kind of thing has never happened, how can you say that our wine and beef are poisonous!"

Shaking my head helplessly, I said, "It's not that the wine and beef themselves are poisonous, but that they were poisoned when they were brought up!

"He suddenly said that he was a little unwell just now, so he took leave and went back to rest!"

Sighing secretly, I forced a question and said, "Where is his house, we have to go to him immediately!"

Still suspecting that we were murderers, the man said, "I won't let you go, I'm going to report to the police immediately, and you will stay here for me!"

Knowing that this kind of thing could not be delayed, I directly unsheathed my long sword, rushed in front of him in one step, the blade of the sword against his neck, and threatened viciously: "It's up to you whether to report or not, but you'd better tell me the whereabouts of that person immediately, otherwise I'll let you die with those two people!"

He would have just said that he wouldn't let us go, it was all brain blood, and he said it without thinking, and now that I put the sword around his neck, does he dare to argue?

"This ...... Small...... There are eyes without beads, and the small ones are wrong...... The small one also has an eighty high hall...... There's a seven-year-old child ......"

Kicking him in the leg to prevent him from finishing this disgusting panacea, I shouted, "Say nonsense, I'll kill you directly, tell me where that person lives." ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... His name is Toyohashi, and he lives in Yanshui Lane in the north of the city!"

Finally getting the information I needed to know, I took back my long sword and immediately said to Bajie: "Bajie, let's go, let's go to Yanshui Lane in the north of the city." ”

I had no doubt about the veracity of the man's words, for he was already scared by me, and his legs were shaking as if he were playing the lute, and there was little chance of telling a lie in this case.

As soon as I went out, I remembered something, so I turned around and said, "If you don't want to die, don't touch that person's bamboo basket, there is poison in it!"

"You better hurry up and report to the official, two people were poisoned in the inn, this kind of crime is not small at all!"

After that, we didn't make any more stops, and went straight to the north of the city.

Although the location of Salt Water Lane is not clear, you can just ask someone on the road to know, and if you inquire again in Salt Water Lane, you can easily find Toyohashi's home.

According to the residents we inquired with, Toyohashi is a man who lives alone, has no wife and no family, has been working as a guy in the inn, and has not had much contact with the surrounding neighbors.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, men are always not like women, they don't like to bring too much trouble because of the trivial things in life.

When I arrived at the door of Toyohashi's house, I found that the door of his house was closed, and no one opened the door after repeated knocks.

The neighborhood felt very strange about this, because many of them saw that Toyohashi had returned, and even if they fell asleep, they would definitely wake up by calling like this!

Vaguely aware of what might be happening, I immediately let Bajie break down the door and force his way in.

Under the wind on both sides of Bajie, the wooden gate was like tofu, and it was broken into many pieces with one move.

Everyone followed us into Toyohashi's house, and they were all stunned by the plot they saw, I just smelled blood, and I couldn't see the specific scene.

After being stunned for a moment, these residents reacted, several timid people had already run out, probably to report to the official, and the others were still here to watch, which can really be said to be a good thing.

Bajie said: "Master, this Fengqiao is dead, and he will die at the table!"

"How did you die?"

"The face is black, the seven orifices are bleeding, there is a bowl in front of him, a pot of tea, and all the tea in the bowl is spilled, it should have been poisoned to death, and it is the same poison as those two people!"

After thinking for a while, I remembered a key thing, so I asked, "Where is the Night Pearl?"

......

To be continued......
