Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous
Chapter 27: The Golden Cauldron (7)
"Let's go here..." Dijie led the group to a small inn.
From the outside, it looks quite decent. Although it is not very big, at least it can be seen as an inn.
But as soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by a gust of dust, which made everyone sneeze.
There were only a few broken tables scattered throughout the hall. Although they were wiped clean, the rotten wood that made the tables lose their appetite just by looking at them.
The chairs were thrown around in a disorderly manner, and some of them even had broken legs, so they could only lean crookedly against the table.
The corners of the walls were covered with spider webs, and flying insects could not get free by getting caught in them. There were already densely packed spider webs. There were also unknown small insects crawling on the ground, leaving traces of their crawling on the dusty ground.
Even the handrails of the stairs are intermittent and the ground is full of potholes, which makes people feel unsafe.
Ye Luo couldn't help but ask: "Brother Dijie, are you sure it's here? Is the environment here really suitable for living?"
Xiangling and the others also frowned. One of them was the daughter of the famous chef Mao from the Wanmin Hall, one was the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and one was a well-known Liyue alchemist.
They probably had never lived in such a harsh environment since they were young. Even Ye Luo, who grew up in an orphanage, found it difficult to accept this kind of accommodation environment at first.
Di Jie sighed: "I can understand you. This kind of place is about to be abandoned, but I think you need to get to know the owner here."
Dijie walked up the stairs by himself. The wooden boards of the stairs creaked, which made several people feel uneasy.
Chongyun took out a peach wood sword and talisman paper from his body and said to the three people, "In such a deserted place, there is no guarantee that there will be no evil spirits lurking. You stand behind me and let me deal with them first!"
Xingqiu said helplessly: "Chongyun, don't be too nervous. Apart from being a bit shabby, there isn't much weirdness here."
"I'm really sorry, this place hasn't been cleaned up for a long time. I'm sorry to have made you all laugh..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man walking out from the second floor. With the help of "Earth Robbery", he limped to the first floor and stood in front of the four people.
Ye Luo saw the old man's leg, which was completely broken and covered in a huge plaster cast. No wonder he couldn't walk properly.
"Old man, you..."
"Di Jie" answered Ye Luo's question for the old man: "It was the owner of the hotel. That bastard sent his own people to break his legs. The Qianyan Army investigated and only took away the thugs who were responsible for the beating."
"We all know who issued the order, but those thugs have received so much bribes that they refuse to say a word."
"We have no evidence to prove it. The hotel owner hid abroad for a while, so the matter was put on hold again and again, and finally it was all over..."
"There are many victims like this boss. Some have lost their families, some have lost their reputations, some have been seriously injured, and some have been forced to flee..."
"All of this stems from the insatiable greed of the hotel owner. He already owns a large piece of the entire Mingyun Town business market, but for his own selfish desires, he robbed other stores of their few remaining means of survival."
"Once he doesn't like it, it will become like this..."
After hearing all this and seeing the miserable condition of the old man, everyone couldn't help but be moved.
Chongyun drew his sword and gritted his teeth in hatred: "How hateful! There are always some people in this world who are not evil, but are worse than evil!"
Xingqiu was even more indignant: "In a country called 'Contract', you did something so unscrupulous. You really bring shame to all merchants in Liyue!"
Xiangling asked hurriedly: "But what can we do to change all this?"
Guoba held Xiangling's hand and hummed.
Ye Luo pondered for a long while without saying anything, and everyone turned their eyes to him.
Xingqiu said, "Young Master Ye Luo, it's time for your confidence to come into play."
Chongyun also echoed: "That's right, your confidence is overflowing. If you don't use it, it will evaporate..."
Ye Luo thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "I do have an idea. The best way to deal with monopolists may not be anti-monopoly, but isolation!"
"I don't believe he wouldn't be anxious if he was restrained. Imagine that everyone has the same thing, and this thing is extremely recognized by the public, but he can't get it. Do you think he would be so anxious that he would reveal his true colors?"
"Earth Robbery" thought seriously for a while: "But what's the point of letting him show his hand? Since he dared to commit the crime without hiding anything, is he afraid of being exposed?"
"It doesn't count if there is no evidence that cannot be concealed. We still need the help of one more person to make all the evidence public so that he can't hide it!"
A few hours later, Yan Fei pushed open the creaking door, coughed lightly a few times, and waved her hand.
"What a huge dust. Could it be that Ye Luo gave the wrong address?"
Yan Fei took Ye Luo's carrier pigeon letter and walked into the room doubtfully.
"It's so dark, did I really take the wrong path?" Yan Fei took a tentative step forward, still full of doubts.
"You're right, this is the place!" Ye Luo's voice came faintly.
"Ye Luo, is that you?" Yan Fei smiled and turned to look over.
A flickering candlelight cast a shadow that flickered in the room, and faint strange noises were heard from time to time.
Yan Fei hurriedly said: "I am a half-immortal, a mere little ghost can't scare me. I advise you to leave quickly and stop torturing each other!"
"What are you talking about, it's me."
"what!"
Ye Luo suddenly appeared behind Yan Fei and patted her on the shoulder. Yan Fei was really scared and punched him back.
Ye Luo lay straight on the ground, without even a sound, and fainted peacefully.
The others hurried over, closed the door, and stopped Yan Fei from continuing to attack.
Yan Fei hugged Xiang Ling: "Xiang Ling, what are you guys up to? Why are you meeting here and why are you not lighting the lights..."
Chongyun and Xingqiu, one was pinching Ye Luo, while the other was fanning Ye Luo, and at least they managed to wake Ye Luo up.
"How can a little girl be so strong..." Ye Luo was bleeding from his nose and could only sigh helplessly as he looked at Yan Fei.
Yan Fei came over quickly: "I'm sorry, I don't know how the fist went past you, are you okay..."
Ye Luo shook his head: "My matter is minor, the matter of Mingyun Town is more serious. Let us tell you in detail."
