The last 2000 yuan

Wan Laoque began to inquire about his son's news in Adventure City. When he heard that his son seemed to have earned more than 1000 gold coins by selling potions, and also made a lot of money, his heart was both cold and hot.

He didn't tell his mother-in-law about this, he was afraid that his mother-in-law would go crazy if she heard about it.

More than 1000 gold coins. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it.If they can have more than 1000 gold coins, let their son come forward to buy a piece of land, and they can be farmers behind closed doors, how good will their life be?

But if their son really abandoned them, would he still be willing to recognize them as parents now that he has more assets?

Wan Laoque sneered, he felt cold, not because his son would deny them, but because he didn't think his son had this ability at all!

Sell ​​potions?Behind him is the grandfather who is suspected to be a mid-to-high-level alchemist?With fast escape speed and great strength, it seems that he has awakened his warrior talent?

Which of these fits the characteristics of his son?

None of it fits!

But the person in the portrait was indeed his son's face and figure.

So who else in this world looks exactly like his son?

Wan Laoque naturally thought of the herbalist Matsuba who they used the magic circle of changing face.

Song Ye is also a person of unknown origin in the small town on the South Bank. He suddenly appeared in the town one day and made a living as a herbalist.And that night, Song Ye also showed his side as a beast master.

It would be reasonable for Songye like this to have the grandfather of a mid-to-high-level pharmacist behind him.

And he was able to catch Songye at the beginning because the man passed out because of his poor health, and he didn't know Songye's true ability.If Songye is found by his family and his family heals his injuries, it is reasonable for Songye to regain his flexibility and strength.

If the Wanchang now appearing in the city is Songye, it proves that Songye has escaped from Peng Yuan's family.The same incident also explained why the arrest of their family suddenly became severe again, and even Matsuba's portrait was also on the arrest warrant.

Wan Laoque couldn't help hating this Songye, since he had replaced his son, why didn't he replace him to the end?That eldest lady is just someone who wants to vent her anger!

After Wan Laoque analyzed all these things clearly, he told his conjecture to Mrs. Wan.

When Wan Po Niang heard that this was not the other, she immediately lost her energy and her whole body was gloomy.

The work of chopping and delivering firewood is much easier than that of other city slaves. I heard from neighbors that before their family gave their daughter to the steward, they worked as excrement collectors. While cleaning and eradicating the accumulated excrement, it was sent out of the city for burial. The poor were inconvenient to clean. Every day, the family and the house were stinky. Their ability to keep the adobe house was also related to their stinky house.

Now their family can switch to the job of chopping firewood and delivering firewood. I don’t know how many people are envious, because delivering firewood can go to the back kitchens of rich households and even small nobles. Sometimes the back cooks are in a good mood and can give some leftovers for free them.

But this kind of work, which is very enviable in the eyes of others, still makes Wan Po Niang complain endlessly.

The Wan family in Luoxia Village was a wealthy household equivalent to the head of the village. At their peak, their family raised more than 20 slaves, and the family's work was almost entirely done without the help of Mrs. Wan.

Wan Po Niang only needs to manage the food distribution and take good care of the family's finances every day. At most, she will reprimand and train slaves to work. Apart from daily enjoyment, she cannot be made like a noble lady. Her life is really easier than a noble lady.

But since she fled, Wan Po Niang suffered a lot.

It wasn't too hard for them to let their son pretend to be Songye and spend the time of Songye's family property.

The most bitter thing is after coming to Adventure City.

Her face was branded with a wolf's head by her husband, which was painful and ugly.I have to work hard every day, chopping firewood so that my palms get bleeding blisters, and I have to be exploited by local thugs every day. I have to do it myself when I eat, drink, and scatter. On the way back, they had to prevent someone from snatching their wheelbarrows.

You have to be careful and sneaky when you eat. Make a piece of coarse black bread, which can be eaten for many days. The black bread mixed with wheat bran is as hard as a stone.They eat every day, and they can't even drink a bowl of wheat flour.

"Why? Why do we have to live like this? Why did we fall into this situation?" Wan Po Niang wailed suddenly, "It's all that stinky woman! Stinky bitch! If she hadn't come here to show off..."

Wan Laoque covered Mrs. Wan's mouth.

Wan Po Niang was still struggling to scold.

Wan Laoque slapped her on the face, and scolded in a low voice: "Do you want others to know our details? Or do you want others to hear the name of that young lady? So that people can report secretly?"

Wan Po Niang covered her face and burst into tears, cursing as she cried, this time she didn't dare to scold Miss Peng Yuan anymore, so she focused on scolding Song Ye, scolding him for dying, scolding him why he didn't obediently replace Wan Chang's identity.

After all, Wan Po Niang was also afraid of being heard by others, so she cursed vaguely and dared not speak out.

"Why can he earn more than 1000 gold coins? That Matsuba is also a vegetable. How can he not be discovered? We have seen his toes, and he is a vegetable! He has become our son, and the color of his eyes can be changed. It can be seen that he is a vegetable, why did no one catch him for selling potions? Songye is a vegetable, and his grandfather must be a vegetable, his grandfather is not a vegetable, and so is his grandma! A vegetable cannot learn magic."

Wan Po Niang felt resentful in her heart, and her expression was distorted. Coupled with the out-of-shape brand, her face looked like a ghost.She couldn't figure out why they were all vegetable people, and their family was living in such a miserable life.

Since their family's life is so bad, why can other people's life be good?

Listening to Wan Po Niang's curse, Wan Lao Que's heart moved. He thought he had seized an opportunity to change the status quo.

That Matsuba probably doesn't want to be known as a vegetable man, right?

On the afternoon of the year when he was looking for the little fat man all over the city, he went to the city defense army in the fourth district and reported that a mule cart had been stolen on his way to Adventure City.

"I was going to collect medicine in the nearby woods, so I parked the vehicles full of luggage on the side of the road and asked some slaves to watch for me. Who would have thought that when I came back, I would find one of the vehicles filled with potions and some money The mule cart disappeared, and my slaves were all stunned. I dealt with a few slaves who were guarding the luggage at the time, and asked them if they noticed any movement."

"My slave told me that they saw an ordinary human with two servants, a male and a female, and the ordinary human young man asked if he could rest nearby, saying that it would be safer if there were more people. My slave saw that they were few, It didn't seem like a threat, and I agreed out of sympathy. But when the three men lit the fire, my slaves began to feel sleepy and wanted to sleep. When they woke up, one of my mule carts And those three people disappeared."

The city defense army accepted the case, but everyone knew that this kind of theft that happened on the road was basically impossible to solve.

When I left the office of the city defense army all the year round, as if thinking of it temporarily, I stopped and said: "One more thing, my slave told me that it was dark at that time, and they couldn't see clearly at night, but when the three people on the opposite side ordered After the fire started, they vaguely saw that a man and a woman looked like someone they knew, but they couldn't confirm it because of their bad eyesight."

The city defense army cheered up: "Someone you know? Tell me, who is that man and woman, what is their origin, maybe it is a clue."

Perennial replied: "My slaves are all vegetable people. I bought them from a fat boy on the road. That fat boy is called Songye."

Tie Buping stood beside him, his eyes downcast, silent.

"My slave told me a very surprising and interesting thing. But aside from this, my slave told me that they suspected that the middle-aged man and woman among the three were their original masters. Vegetarian couple."

The city defense army was stunned, "So the person who stole your mule cart and potion is the original owner of the slave you bought?"

Nodding all year round: "That's it."

"But didn't you say that all your slaves were bought from a fat man? Wait, what does the fat man you're talking about look like?" The city guard who made the record suddenly stood up.

Described all the year round: "The figure is not tall, about 1.4 meters, very fat, the eyes are squeezed by the flesh and are very small."

"Is it this person?" The City Defense Army took out a portrait.This is the person that Nan'an Potion Shop secretly asked them to look for. They are not wanted, but they just hope to find the whereabouts of the person in the portrait.

Perennial looked at the portrait and immediately nodded, "That's him. My slave was bought from him."

Tie Buping also looked at the portrait, and saw the face that made him hate and loathe him so much.

The city defense army came alive, "Then do you know where this little fat man is now?"

Spreading his hands all the year round, "I don't know about that. I met him near Luoxia Mountain. At that time, he seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and even regarded his slave as a burden. When he saw me, he asked me if I wanted to buy a slave. At that time, I needed people to help me with some chores. I was planning to go to the town to buy some people. Seeing that he was eager to sell and the price was not expensive, I bought them all. After that, I parted ways with the little fat man and only looked at him. It seems to be coming in the direction of Adventure City."

Perennial said again: "I heard from my slaves that they were first slaves of a family named Wan in Luoxia Village. Their original owner was called Wan Laoque, and the young master was called Wanchang. This family offended the lord's family. Miss, after being punished, Wan Laoque and his family ran away, but Wan Chang was arrested soon, but this Wan Chang said that he was not Wan Chang, but a herbalist named Songye, and that someone exchanged him with a magic circle. And the appearance of Wanchang."

The city defense army who made the record opened his mouth wide, and the other city defense troops in the same room were also attracted.

Expressing apology all the year round, "Is it unrelated to the case? Then I won't talk about it."

"No, no, please continue." The commander of the city defense army of the fourth district was also attracted, and the city defense army in this room gathered curiously to listen.

The captain of the fourth district, please sit down all year round, and ask him to tell them all about this interesting and strange case.

I sit down all the year round, "My slaves told me these things. I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't think they can make up such a thing with their brains and knowledge. Originally, I took this matter as a legend at best. , The lost mule cart and potion also considered themselves unlucky, but I didn’t expect my landlady to tell me this morning that someone was looking for a little fat man. The appearance of the little fat man described by the landlady was exactly the little fat man I had seen. "

"I went out to find out what happened to this little fat man, and I heard that he auctioned some blood recovery potions and green herb ointment in the adventurer trading hall, and the potions I lost happened to be these two. The fat man used the gold coins of Bai Xu Country, and the gold coins I lost were also the gold coins of Bai Xu Country. I couldn't help but connect the things before and after, and decided to come and report the crime."

The captain of the fourth district's eyes were flooded, this matter is so interesting: "Please continue."

"My slave told me..." For many years, he was used as a scapegoat by Wan Laoque's family, and then he was arrested by Diao Zhi and sent to Luoxia Village to be punished. Beast master and herbalist, he tried to control the giant rat with sharp teeth in Luoxia Mountain, killed the steward and others who guarded him, and escaped from Luoxia Village with thousands of slaves. Not long after he came out, he met me, and he probably felt that those The slaves of the Wan family didn't agree with him, and they thought it would be troublesome for them, so they sold them all to me, and as evidence, they also gave me the household register of Luoxia Village."

"Of course, these pine leaves did not tell me. My slave told me later."

"I am from the Principality of Anlie, and I am training outside with my family. This year, the Abandoned Land Magic School recruits students in the South Bank Adventure City, so my family asked me to come back and apply for the exam. I happen to be in the Baixu Kingdom, and I took the shortcut from Luoxia Mountain. come over."

The captain of the city defense army heard this and connected all the clues together: "So, you suspect that the people who stunned your slaves and stole your property and potions were the three members of the Wan family who fled?"

"Yes." Perennial also added: "My slave didn't recognize the couple immediately, mainly because they also made some disguises, and it was dark, so they couldn't see clearly."

The team leader expressed his understanding: "And when you come to report the crime now, besides wanting us to pay attention to the family of three, do you have other intentions?"

Nian Nian nodded again: "I couldn't figure out why the potion I lost was sold by that little fat man named Matsuba, but after careful thinking, I thought of a possibility."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Perennial: "I suspect that the effect of the magic circle of changing face has disappeared, or become unstable, and Wan Chang, whose appearance has turned into a pine leaf, has returned to its original appearance. And since Wan Lao Que's family can be hired A magician said that they are by no means ordinary vegetable people, and that the big forces that arrested their family have not caught their family so far, which means that this family does have some ability, so I deduce that the movement is flexible and the strength is strong. Big, the little fat man who seems to have awakened his warrior talent is probably Wan Chang himself!"

The city defense army didn't ask who was the big force who arrested Wan Laoque's family, because they could find out about it after a little investigation.

Coming out of the city defense army office in the fourth district, Tie Buping looked sideways at Niannian.

Always make sure that no one is following you around, smile, and ask in a low voice: "Is there something on my face?"

"Why did you say that?" Tie Buping was puzzled, and raised three fingers: "Why did you make three people?"

All the year round, he laughed, "We were originally three people. I, Songye, and Wanchang were originally three completely different people, and now it's just right to separate completely."

Tie Buping: "But didn't you say your name is Songye?"

Shaking his head all the year round, he smiled mysteriously.

Tie Buping was so curious that he scratched his heart and lungs, but no matter how he asked, he refused to tell him the details all the year round, and just laughed when he asked, so much that he wanted to punch him against the Lord.
