I Am Really Not The Great Demon King

Then Xia Yu looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, and said with a weird smile: "They retreated to the road with all their strength, and they retreated to the intersection, only to find that there was also an ambush at the intersection. In the end, except for Qingxue, everyone was caught Killed in the narrow alley."

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

The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, pointing to his ears and said: "The ears below are not good, and the sound beyond three feet is hard to hear. Forgive sins and forgive sins. If you want to find out how this happened, , I think you are looking for the wrong person."

"Everyone should go to other places to ask, I really didn't hear any movement below."

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a good-spoken manner and said: "It turns out that the shopkeeper's ears are not good, so I didn't hear any movement outside."

"That's okay."

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

Then Xia Yu looked at the silver ingot that was unconsciously held in the palm of the shopkeeper, and continued to say in a calm tone: "There is no need to order the coffin."

Having said this, Xia Yu smiled bitterly, and continued: "Presumably those people who have done such a thing will not leave their bodies, lest we find any clues."

"I only ask the shopkeeper about one thing now."

"As long as the shopkeeper can answer truthfully, then this ingot will belong to the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper glanced at the silver ingot in his hand, and then at the solemn thing. It didn't look like Xia Yu who was joking. He spit in his mouth and licked his lips before he said: "One thing? Just answer you. One thing, this ingot is mine?"

"Not bad." Xia Yu said affirmatively, and Yun calmly replied.

There are fifty taels of silver for this ingot. Fifty taels are worthy. The shopkeeper's year of hard work may not necessarily be earned.

After all, Huangyang Town is so big that it is impossible for so many people to die in one year.

Moreover, most of the dead were those who could not afford the coffins. They were buried in the mass graves as soon as they took the mats. No one even sold paper money candles, not to mention those who only bought paper cranes and other sundries. Up.

As for those rich and wealthy, many of the coffins were built by someone who didn't buy them at all.

You can imagine how much you earn in a year.

Although he knew that the question he had to answer by himself would not be so easy to answer, but when he glanced at the silver ingot in his hand, the shopkeeper finally swallowed and was not willing to let it go, so he agreed.

"What does the guest want to know?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper made tea for Xia Yu openly.

The attitude is many times better than before.

So that everyone looked weird at the shopkeeper who was busy in front of them, with a ghostly expression on their faces.

Xia Yu was accustomed to this, and looked like a stranger.

Before coming, he had already inquired about the intelligence news of the treasurer of the returnee from Gong Huang.

This treasurer who returned to Xitang is also a strange person.

A young talent, he was a high school scholar at the age of twelve, was a scholar at the age of thirteen, and was supported by nobles. At the age of fifteen he has become the lord of a city.

Originally, his future should be promising.

Unexpectedly, there are winds and rains in the sky, the nobleman he relied on suddenly died unexplainably, no one dared to explore the cause of the other party's death.

The shopkeeper was agitated by righteous indignation, and asked for a thorough investigation of the cause of death of the nobleman and severe punishment of the murderer.

However, his letter has just been sent out, and it is estimated that he has not yet arrived in the country. The next day, a paper edict has been sent down to his city.

The edict is an edict for dismissal and condemnation.

The edict said that he used flattery to seal the nobles to steal the seat of the city lord for many years, but he neglected his duty, did nothing to attack, labored the people and hurt the people, and also privately levied taxes. It governs the fields, and in the autumn harvest season, the land is often bare for hundreds of miles.

In the end, the edict will dismiss him on the spot, cut off the scholars to resonate, break his legs, wear a pipa bone, **** him into Beijing, and cut him off in the autumn to thank the world.

In fact, he and his nobles were hated and opposed by many vested interests because of the abolition of many exorbitant taxes and taxes. The people in the city clapped their hands and applauded his words and deeds, calling him Qingtian.

In the end, too many people came and wanted to **** him back to Beijing Wenzhan.

The people in the city, however, refused to agree, and directly surrounded the people from the country, and beat them half to death. Then, they smashed the torture instrument on the treasurer's body and released him.

Afterwards, he came to Huangyang Town, went incognito, inherited his father's carpenter's craftsmanship, and became a clever fat man who specializes in making coffins for others.

After he became the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, he seemed to have changed his temper, and suddenly changed from a parental official who was a public and dedicated to the people to a greedy and greedy person.

After listening to Huang Gong's information about the shopkeeper, Xia Yu was ready, and wanted to prescribe the right medicine to find everything she wanted from the shopkeeper's mouth.

"An hour before tonight, did you see a group of women, about seven or eight people, passing by the gate of your homecoming Xitang, walking towards the west?"

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

"Yes." With a cup of tea in the hand of the shopkeeper, he was pushing the tea stalks on the tea water to the side with the tea lid in his hand. After doing all this, he took a sip and moistened his throat before he opened his mouth. Replied concisely.

After talking nonsense, he put the silver coin on the table of the two people into his own sleeve.

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

So Xia Yu continued to ask, "Then have you ever seen such a person among those women?"

While talking, Xia Yu had already taken out the portrait of a woman she had painted herself from her arms.

The woman in the painting has sharp eyebrows and a pile of moving dimples on her cheeks. The owner has a very unique temperament, which makes people impressed and unforgettable at first sight.

Xia Yu believes that such a woman, even if she sees her paintings, is impressive. Then, the impression left by those who see her will be more unforgettable.

She believed that as long as the shopkeeper had seen each other, he would definitely remember him.

Rao Shi Xia Yu has always had an indifferent personality, and the eyes of the shopkeeper at this time were also full of expectations.

The others also looked at the shopkeeper expectantly, waiting for him to say the name of the person in the painting.

Then, when Xia Yu and the others heard the answer from the shopkeeper, the expression on their faces suddenly became a little ugly.

Ugly, they almost wanted to strangle the shopkeeper.

After hearing Xia Yu’s question, the shopkeeper didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he directly covered the teacup with the tea cover in his hand, and then gave birth to his own fat palm against Xia Yu, and uttered five words blankly. Come: "Fifty taels of silver."

Hearing the answer from the shopkeeper, Xia Yu was immediately stunned: "Just now, didn't I just give you fifty taels of silver?"

Hearing Xia Yu's question, the shopkeeper did not withdraw his right hand, and continued to spread his palm in front of Xia Yu, speaking for granted, "Just now, now is now."

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

"Just now you asked and I didn't see that a line of seven or eight women passed by my door. I have already answered you. If you didn't hear clearly, I can answer you again now-yes-well, this time. Even if it’s a discount, don’t need your money."

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

"An answer is fifty taels of silver. You haven't given me the silver. How can I answer your question?"

The shopkeeper's pair of Danfeng eyes looked at Xia Yu's sleeves greedily, and replied confidently.

This…

Unexpectedly, a person who is so greedy can be so shameless.

Xia Yu didn't believe that the other party was once a clean and honest city lord known as Qingtian.

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

Because it was a secret investigation, this subordinate did not wear the standard clothing under Huang Gong's command.

This person was extremely tall and strong, and he was nine feet tall. Standing in front of the shopkeeper with a short stature, he was a head taller than the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper almost had to look up at him to see his face.

Seeing that he was suddenly like a city wall, like an iron tower, standing in front of him, lined up with everyone, without a word, with a serious expression, it seemed that the next moment, he would punch his jealous fist and slap himself. A face was smashed, teeth flew around, the shopkeeper dragged his neck involuntarily, and reluctantly said: "What are you doing, the gentleman does not do anything, everyone has something to say, don’t mess around, I’m here. Go to Lai Xitang is the richest man in Huangyang Town, Huang Gong’s property. If you dare to mess around, I will let Huang Gong’s people clean up. Believe it or not!"

The man under Huang Gong's command grinned silently when he heard the shopkeeper's words. He didn't throw his own iron fist. He just went on to say, "I'm not a gentleman."

Hearing the response from the other party, the look in the shopkeeper's eyes became even more horrified, but at this moment, I saw that the man took out the palm-sized, long-shaped bronze plaque, handed it to the shopkeeper, and continued to speak: "I am Huang Gong's subordinate. ."

Then the shopkeeper blinked his Danfeng's eyes after hearing the other person talking. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, the tone of his speech immediately became more cordial again. He immediately said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't expect It's your own person, why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a troublesome thing there?"

Xia Yu and the others were speechless when they heard it, and you watched the food together. Or was our fault?
