Chapter 419

Then Xia Yu looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, smiled strangely and said, "they retreated to the intersection with all their strength, but found that there was an ambush at the intersection. Finally, except for sunny snow, everyone was killed in the narrow lane by that group of people."

"The battle between them and each other is very fierce. You must have heard the voice, shopkeeper? It's impossible not to hear the voice in such a battle?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, pointed to his ear and said, "I don't have good ears. I can't hear voices beyond three feet. Forgive me. If you want to inquire about the process of this matter, I think you've found the wrong person."

"You'd better go to another place to ask. I really haven't heard anything."

But when she heard the shopkeeper's words, Xia Yu still looked like a good talker. Looking at the shopkeeper in front of her, she said, "the shopkeeper's ears are bad. I didn't hear anything outside."

"That doesn't matter."

"I'm not ready to ask the shopkeeper about what happened before."

Then Xia Yu looked at the silver ingot held in the palm of his hand by the shopkeeper's unconscious, and continued to say calmly: "there's no need to order the coffin."

Speaking of this, Xia Yu smiled bitterly and continued: "presumably those people have done such a thing, and they will not leave their bodies, lest we find clues."

"Now, I only ask the shopkeeper about one thing."

"As long as you can answer truthfully, this ingot of silver is yours."

The shopkeeper took a look at the silver ingot in his hand and then took a look at it seriously. It didn't look like a joke. Xia Yu took a spit in his mouth and licked his lips before he said, "one thing? Just answer you one thing. This ingot of silver is mine?"

"Not bad." Xia Yu's tone was affirmative, and the cloud was light and the wind was light.

This ingot of silver is fifty Liang, fifty Liang. The shopkeeper may not earn it after a year's hard work.

After all, Huangyang town is so big that it is impossible to die so many people in a year.

Moreover, most of the dead people are still those who can't afford coffins. As soon as they get the mat, they are buried in the random burial post. No one even sells paper money and candles, not to mention that people only buy paper cranes and other sundries.

The coffins of those rich families and many people are made by someone, and they don't buy them here at all.

One can imagine how much one year's income is.

Although he knew that the questions that others had to answer would not be so easy to answer, he took a look at the silver ingot in his hand and finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was not willing to let go and agreed.

"What do the guests want to know?" while talking, the shopkeeper asked to make tea for Xia Yu.

The attitude is many times better than I didn't know before.

So that all the people looked strangely at the busy shopkeeper in front of them, with a ghost expression on their face.

Xia Yu is used to it and doesn't look strange.

Before he came here, he had inquired about the information of the shopkeeper of guilaixi hall under the command of Duke Huang.

The shopkeeper of guilaixi hall is also a strange man.

A young scholar, he became a high school scholar at the age of 12. At the age of 13, he became a Jinshi and was supported by noble people. At the age of 15, he has become the head of the city.

His future should have been promising.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected storm. The noble man he relied on suddenly died inexplicably. No one dared to explore the cause of each other's death.

The shopkeeper was so angry that he wrote a request to thoroughly investigate the cause of death and severely punish the murderer.

However, his letter had just been sent out and was not expected to reach the country. The next day, an imperial edict had been issued to his city.

The imperial edict is an imperial edict to dismiss from office and demote to crime.

The imperial edict said that he stole the position of the city Lord by flattering and sealing dignitaries for many years, but he neglected his duty, did nothing to attack, labored the people and wasted money, but also levied taxes privately. The tyranny was fiercer than the tiger, and the people in the city were unable to make a living. Many people died of freezing and starvation in cold winter and December. The fields under his jurisdiction were often bare for hundreds of miles in autumn harvest season.

Finally, the imperial edict wanted to dismiss him on the spot, cut off the Jinshi resonance, break his legs, wear a lute bone, escort him to Beijing, and behead him after autumn to thank the world.

In fact, he and his dignitaries were hated and opposed by many vested interests because they abolished many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people in the city applauded what he said and did and called him Qingtian.

Finally, excessive visitors should escort him back to Beijing for questioning and beheading.

But the people in the city would not agree. They directly surrounded the people from the country and beat them half to death. Then, they smashed the tools of torture on the shopkeeper and released him.

Later, he came to Huangyang Town, remained anonymous, inherited his father's carpentry skills, and became a smart fat man who made coffins for people and returned to Laixi hall.

After being the manager of the coffin shop, he seemed to have changed his temper. All of a sudden, he changed from a parent official who was public and devoted to the people to a man who was penny pinching and greedy.

After listening to the information about the shopkeeper told by Huang Gong, Xia Yu is ready to find everything she wants from the shopkeeper.

"An hour ago tonight, did you see a line of women, about seven or eight people, passing in front of your return hall and heading west?"

Xia Yu looked at the opening of the shopkeeper in front of him and asked.

"Yes." the shopkeeper was holding a cup of tea in his hand. He was using the tea cover in his hand to pull the tea stem tea on the tea to the side. After all this, he took a sip gently and moistened his throat. Then he opened his mouth and answered concisely.

After talking nonsense, he put the ingot of silver on their table and put it into his sleeve.

Seeing that the other party accepted his own silver, Xia Yu's face suddenly looked much better, which showed that the shopkeeper was willing to accept her inquiry. Tell her what happened tonight.

So Xia Yu then asked, "have you ever seen such a person among those women?"

While talking, Xia Yu has taken out the woman portrait she painted from her arms.

The woman in the painting has a straight eyebrow and a pile of moving dimples on her cheeks. The owner has a very unique temperament, which is impressive and unforgettable at first sight.

Xia Yu believes that such a woman, even if she sees her paintings, is impressive. Then, if the person who sees her leaves an impression on the person who sees her, it will be more unforgettable.

She believed that as long as the shopkeeper saw each other, he would remember each other.

Rao Shixia Yu has always been indifferent. At this time, his eyes to the shopkeeper are also full of expectation.

Others, looking expectantly at the shopkeeper, waited for him to say the name of the man in the painting.

Then, Xia Yu and others, hearing the shopkeeper's answer, their faces suddenly became a little ugly.

Ugly. They almost tried to strangle the shopkeeper.

After hearing Xia Yu's inquiry, the shopkeeper didn't answer immediately. Instead, he directly covered the tea cover in his hand on the tea cup, and then gave birth to his own fat palm to Xia Yu. He spit out five words without expression: "Fifty Liang silver."

Hearing the shopkeeper's answer, Xia Yu immediately covered his face with a circle: "didn't I give you 50 liang of silver just now?"

Hearing Xia Yu's inquiry, the shopkeeper didn't take back his right hand and continued to spread his palm in front of Xia Yu. With a natural face, he said, "just now, now."

"You just said that as long as you answer one thing, the ingot of silver is mine."

"Just now you asked me, but I didn't see it. A line of seven or eight women passed by my door. I have answered you. If you don't hear clearly, I can answer you again - yes - well, this answer is even a discount, not your money."

"The question you are asking is the second question."

"One answered fifty Liang silver, but you haven't given me silver. How can I answer your question?"

The shopkeeper's pair of Danfeng eyes greedily looked at Xia Yu's sleeves and answered with a strong voice.

This

I didn't expect a person to be so greedy that he could be so shameless.

Xia Yu doesn't believe it. The other party used to be an honest and upright City Lord known as Qingtian.

Seeing that the other party was so presumptuous, one of Huang Gong's subordinates finally came out of the crowd and stood in front of the shopkeeper behind Xia Yu.

Because it was a secret investigation, the commander did not wear the standard clothes of Huang Gong.

He was very tall and strong. He was nine feet tall. Standing in front of the short shopkeeper, he was a head taller than the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper almost had to look up at him before he could see his face.

Seeing him suddenly like a city wall and an iron tower, he lined up the crowd and stood in front of him without saying a word. His expression was serious. It seemed that the next moment, he would punch his vinegar bowl fist, crack his face and fly his teeth. The shopkeeper dragged his neck involuntarily and reluctantly said: "What do you do? A gentleman does it or not. Let's talk about it. Don't mess around. My guilaixi hall is the richest man in Huangyang town and the industry under Lord Huang. If you dare to mess around, I'll let the people under Lord Huang clean up. Believe it or not!"

The man under Lord Huang listened to the shopkeeper's words, grinned silently, didn't wave his own iron fist, but then said, "I'm not a gentleman."

Hearing the other party's response, the shopkeeper's eyes looked more frightened. However, at this time, the man took out the palm size, long bronze sign, handed it to the shopkeeper and continued to say, "I'm under the command of Lord Huang."

Then when the shopkeeper heard the other party speak, he blinked his Danfeng eyes. Although the expression on his face still had no change, his tone of voice immediately became more friendly. He immediately said, "misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't expect it to be my own person. Why didn't you say it earlier and say there was such a trouble there?"

Xia Yu and the others were speechless when they heard this. Did you watch the dishes together, or was it our fault?
